//------------------------------// // The Premonition // Story: Final Destination:Pony Style // by The Twisted Brony //------------------------------// "Come on guys! We wouldn't want to be late!", Rainbow Dash hastily remarked on the way to the Ponyville Train Station. "Don't be so impatient, Rainbow Dash," Twilight replied. "We'll get there soon enough." The rest of their friends stayed quiet in hopeful anticipation. Rainbow Dash nodded her head in agreement at her friend's response. They were on their way to the Grand Galloping Gala, showing off their more luxurious attire on their way to Canterlot. None of them wanted to miss the afternoon train. If they did, they would have to trudge through the soggy terrain, for it had been raining substantially for the past 2 days, but luckily stopped just before noon. They wouldn't mind walking in good weather, but they would much rather stay as dry as they could. The six ponies and Spike were within yards of the platform when they heard the skidding of the trains metal brakes from just up the tracks. The train came grinding to a halt in front of the station, where multiple ponies were standing, preparing to attend the Gala. The Mane 6, accompanied by a surprisingly mute Spike, as well as Derpy and Trixie, were just some of the several ponies who filed onto the train when it had come to a complete stop. Luckily, the majority of the ponies on the platform elected to sit in the train cars that were positioned closer towards the engine, while the nine of them choose to be seated in the second to last available car. As they walked onto the train car, Rainbow Dash saw one of the other ponies entering another train car got her elegant dress torn when she got it caught on a rouge screw jutting out of the door, and didn't notice it until the sound of tearing fabric was heard. She then spun around and sternly shouted "SHIT!!" Rainbow Dash felt blood run down her tongue from biting down on her lip so hard to keep from laughing. She looked overhead before walking on to the train just in time to see a chariot so high above the ground that is was almost impossible to see. She figured it was being carried to what she would assume to be the Gala. Right before she walked on, she thought she heard a lock unlatching. They had expected to see mostly of well-dressed ponies, and although there were several ponies who were, they were spread out enough so the group could sit in the same section. Rainbow noticed that one of the windows was wide open, and she wondered why, as it had been raining earlier. Nothing to keep it up, she mused after trying and failing to shove it closed. Looking around, Rainbow Dash faintly heard somepony in another booth whisper to another, "There's Ponyville's fastest flyer." She beamed at the title. As they sat down, she noticed that Fluttershy was quietly humming to the tune of 'Equestrian Pie', By Don McClain, which was somewhat odd. She looked out the window, hoping to see plant life and skies, but was met with the simple image of water droplets wearily inching there way down from the roof onto the window from the rain earlier. A large screech was heard as all the doors simultaneously shut close, signaling the train's preparation of leaving the station to continue on to the Gala. They all smiled as the train jerked forward. They were on their way. There was a splash, and the train jerked back and forth for a couple of seconds, but then steadied again and went right on through. Everypony in the car looked around them to see nothing was affected in the least bit, and quietly returned to there reading or silent murmuring or whatever they had been doing prior. The Mane 6 and Spike realized when they looked at each other that they all had scared looks on there faces. After a couple of seconds, they began to chuckle about it, as if an awkward joke was just told. "You should have seen the look on your face, Rarity." Twilight snickered, seemingly to break the uncomfortable silence. "Me!?", Rarity squawked, in a joking manner. "I wasn't the only one who-" BANG! All the ponies on board were thrown forward as the train stopped unexpectedly. They lay there in shock, not expecting the slam into the walls or ceiling. Then the room began turning. Several ponies were even flown from the car, breaking the windows as they flown into them. The once open window was now slamming open and shut every time it flipped. Pinkie Pie was thrown right next to the window, as it slammed shut again-only this time with Pinkie Pie's throat directly in it's path. It sliced through her neck like a knife through hot butter, blood covering the window as her decapitated body continued to be thrown around the cabin like all other ponies, spewing blood everywhere. Rainbow Dash luckily managed to grab hold of one of the booths, and she hung on for dear life. The entire time, Twilight was trying to make something with her magic, but wasn't able to do so. Then everyone heard the sound of metal ripping from metal. Anyone who could looked over at the door to see it hanging on by only a single hinge, ready to fly off of the wall, and they all hoped it would fly away from the train. It didn't. It flew off and straight towards Twilight, who was unable to move in time. It sliced through her and headed towards Rarity. It's momentum was slowed down significantly, and so didn't cut through her, but it did hit her into a seat at such an angle that it broke her neck. All the ponies were still getting tossed around the car, dead or alive. Then, Rainbow Dash witnessed Twilight's upper body fly right into Derpy's chest, with her horn penetrating her skin and puncturing her heart, killing her instantly. She saw Applejack fly out of the train through a window previously broken by another pony, only to suddenly see a splatter of red fluids materialize on the front window, and with the faintly orange patches engulfed in blood clinging to the window, it had to be Applejack. With the train car flipping so much, structural damage was appearing throughout the train car, none was more visible then the large piece of metal roofing that was about to collapse. It finally fell and crushed the unfortunately placed Trixie and Spike almost simultaneously. ​ Rainbow Dash was in so much horror at all she had just witnessed that she lost grip of the booth and flew right into Fluttershy, pushing them both right out of a previously smashed window. They landed far from the train, in a field, and watched as the train continued rolling, though slower. Shock, adrenaline, and fear coursed through them as they just looked at one another. Rainbow tried to speak, or even to smile as if to say, 'we're alive', but she could do neither. She was to mortified and grief stricken. Just at that moment, one of the metal wheels flew off of the oh so nearly motionless train car, but had just enough force to fly off and start rolling at a high speed. And it rolled right in the direct path of Fluttershy's head. Rainbow tried to scream for her friend, but nothing would come out. No sound could escape. She could do nothing but watch as her one remaining friend's head was crushed under the enormous force of the wheel, splattering her blood all over Rainbow Dash's face. She had tears in her eyes as her one remaining friend was lost. She closed her eyes and put her head down, as tears began to form on her cheeks. At that moment, she heard a faint whistling noise, as if something was falling. She looked over to the train, and saw no movement from the totaled train car. She happened to look up just in time to see a large chariot wheel coming straight for her. She simply closed her eyes, and waited for her fate to be sealed. Seconds before striking, she felt the same stone cold chill run down the entire length of her body. Right at the moment of impact, she opened her eyes, to see the train pulling into the station. And her friends by her side.
