"I have such big eyes, to better see you with," growled the Big Bad Wolf resolutely. "I have such big claws to better grab you and embrace you! With me everything is big, I will thoroughly convince you of that soon. Why are you looking at me so strangely, my little pony? Why don't you answer?"
"I have a surprise for you." The Witcher smiled.
Pony Tales and Folk Stories
Rainbow Dash wasn't a happy pony. Not right now, anyway. While her friends were having fun at Twilights first official "New Castle/Library slumber party", she was stuck on Night Weather Patrol duty. She tried to wriggle her self out of it but unfortunately there was no way around it. She couldn't find or force somepony else to replace her. Every pony who was responsible enough to perform this task had better excuses then 'I want to go and party all night with my friends', to bail this night from the patrol duty. Derpy Hooves volunteered, but Dash decided that a night of good fun was not worth the risk of a tornado devouring the town in the morning. Not that the Night Weather Patrol was a difficult task. The night patrol was needed only in short time of Zapp Apple harvest. During this time of year winds and clouds from the Everfree were dangerously close to Ponyville. The Weather Teams decided long time ago that during this period weather has to be monitored constantly to ensure that the weather anomalies were limited only to Sweet Apple Acres. Even at night time. Thous the Night Weather Patrol come to being.
The Night Weather Patrol duty was "The Worst Thing" that could happen to Rainbow Dash. It was booooring, dull, uneventful, opposite of awesome but at the same time it was necessary and she know it. Rainbow Dash wasn't a drama queen, like certain marshmallow pony, she know what her duty trumps 'Pinkie Pie fueled party'.
Still she decided to perform 'the patrol' outside Ponyville. This way she could safeguard the town better and... would be less exposed to the sounds of awesome party that the rest of girls were having.
"I hope the Zapp Apple harvest comes faster this year" mumbled Rainbow Dash to herself as she made tenth lap around the outskirts of Ponyville. As if on queue she heard a thunderous roar.
Rainbow Dash know that the first sign of Zapp Apple harvest was Timberwolves howling. You cant consider your self a Ponyville citizen without hearing it at least once. Rainbow Dash know it so good that her imitation of it was just awesome . Thats why she know that this was no simple Timberwolf howling to the moon. This was a roar of a predator on the hunt. What was more worrisome was that this roar didn't come from the Everfree.
Without thinking on the consequences Rainbow Dash rushed in the direction where the roar came from. She was on a 'patrol' after all. Her job was to prevent "Everfree anomalies" from "disrupting peaceful lives of Ponyville citizens". So theoretically her action was justified. She was still patrolling. Don't argue with Rainbow Dash logic.
After Rainbow Dash flew over Sweet Apple Acres, she slowed down her speed. She was best flyer in Equestria but she knew her limitations. Although the sky above her was clear and both stars and moon give some light, missing somepony from up above was certainly a possibility.
She heard a roar again that assured her that she was going in the right direction, although that roar sounded differently. Rainbow Dash never heard a Timberwolf to give a roar of pain, but if it did it would sound just like this.
Finally she spotted two ponies running over a hill. Despite the large distance and dim glow of the moon, Rainbow Dash could recognize one of them as Big Mac. There was no mare in twenty mile radius of Ponyville that would not recognize Big Mac.
Big Mac and his companion halted their gallop on top of the hill. Rainbow Dash would only suspect that they started to argue. She of course doubled her speed to close the distance between them as fast as she could.
She didn't beat the half way to them when she noticed that Big Mac started running down the hill in her direction, leaving his companion on the top of the hill alone. What was even more wared was that the hill next to them started to grow. Rainbow Dash blinked not believing her own eyes. The hill assembled it self growing larger and larger. After a few second, enormous Timberwolf stood atop of the hill next to Big Mac companion.
Rainbow Dash header from Spike and Applejack about King Timberwolf encounter, but she never seen one. this wooden abomination was ten times bigger then the pony that stood in front of it. When it finally roared the force of the sound wave almost knocked Rainbow Dash from the sky.
Rainbow Dash didn't blame Big Mac from bailing out. The beast was huge and best action against creatures like those was to out run them. Thats why she was surprised to see the that brave but definitely stupid pony on the top of the hill, didn't started to run with Big Mac, but he attacked the big scary wooden wolf.
At first Rainbow Dash wanted to ask Big Mac what was going on, but now she decided to fly directly towards the top of the hill and save that crazy pony, from certain death. She estimated that she will be in range to swoop in and pull him out of danger in a minute or less. She didn't had altitude necessary to perform Sonic Rainboom. None the less she soared the night sky with all the speed she could muster.
As her body gained speed her senses heightened and tunneled on the task that was in front of her. Her vision locked on the pony that was fighting the King Timberwolf. Fighting and ... winning?
Whatever this pony was doing his attack were causing pain to the King Timberwolf. One of the giant wooden legs of the monster simply blow up, staggering the beast for a second before the leg reassembled it self. That however left an opening and with simply impossible speed the pony run up the other leg of the Timberwolf and attack the neck of the monster. It almost took the beast down. Rainbow Dash couldn't see exactly what that pony did but two thirds of the wood that created beast neck simply stopped being attached to the Timberwolf and fall on the ground. The pony didn't stop on that and bucked the monster in the jaw with impetus that pushed him away from the beast. With a backflip and somersault he landed in front of the King Timberwolf.
This whole action took less then ten seconds flat. Who ever this guy is he is almost as awesome as I'm. Almost.
The Timberwolf however was less impressed and attacked even before his neck reassembled it self. To Rainbow Dash surprise the giant beast moved quicker then she expected it to be able too. Its claws swiped everything in front of him with speed and force that made a swooshing sound but the pony wasn't there any more.
With a powerful jump the brave but crazy pony dodged Timberwolf claws and simultaneously attacked again. Unfortunately for him the King Timberwolf saw this attack.
The time slowed for Rainbow Dash as she closed the distance. Against the background of the moon she could see both combatants clearly now. The King Timberwolf with open jaw prepared to snatch the pony in mid air as he descends upon the monster. The brave pony him self, his face showing determination and concentration on the fight, with one hoof straightened in attack pose, a sword levitating in front of him, and second hoof hiding something that looked like a cracker.
Rainbow Dash knew she will not gonna make it in time.
She could see the pony perfectly flying right into the jaw of King Timberwolf and said jaw slowly closing it self behind him.
And thats when the unexpected happen as the weakened by the previous attack jaw simply broke under the sheer force of the impact with the pony. The brave pony fell down with the wooden debris and again landed with perfect backflip and somersault.
King Timberwolf blinked surprised, and thats when his head exploded showering every thing with wooden debris. His enormous body shattered and disintegrated into an avalanche of wood and timber, and the brave pony that just slew a mighty beast was right in the way of all of it.
He was probably making peace with his maker when Rainbow Dash unceremoniously grabbed him and pulled up into the stray sky.
As she soured into the moon she looked down straight into his eyes. Some how the vertical pupils were no surprise to her after witnessing that fight.
"You are one CRAZY pony!"
