	Rainbow Dash awoke from her fall. She was still disoriented, but she started to see things again though they were still blurry she stayed on her guard. She didn't want anything to get on her again so she stayed in an attack ready position. But none of the people there were having another attack of a crazed Pegasus so they backed off.
"What, none of you want a piece of the Dash. What's wrong did I shake you all up pretty badly?" asked Rainbow.
"No we're just not gonna scare you like that again, but please take this and you will see better in a matter of seconds." said the scratchy voice .
"Si, we don't wish to hurt you Senorita, we wish to help you." said Speedy.
"Ok but if this doesn't work-" she was interrupted.
"It will work I used it on all of the creatures here I'm a medic." said that voice again but with a hint of anger.
"I'm still not sure if this thing will even work." the cyan pony said as she continued to doubt.
"Please, trust me on this I wouldn't lie to you." it said again.
Rainbow Dash then proceeds to take the substance and examine it the best she could due to her being temporarily blind at the moment. She then continued to smell the drink and make sure that it didn't, well smell bad but it didn't smell like anything. So then she went on to drink it. At first it didn't taste like much just like some bland muffin that was sitting on the road for about ten days. Then it tasted as if it was made of dirt and black tar. It didn't go down to easily either, all she wanted to do was to throw it back up. The good news was that she could start making thing out more clearly. She then went on to yell at the supposed medic that gave the horrid drink to her in the first place.
"Oh sweet Celestia that was terrible! Why does it taste like that?!" Rainbow Dash asked frantically.
"Well it's quite simple really, it's a mixture of Thyme, Aloe, Machinate, Echinacea, something called a 'Super Mushroom' from that guy over there, Vehicle Lubricant, cheese, a golden ring, twenty pounds of baby skin ,one of your feathers, and Morphine." said the medic.
Rainbow Dash stood in awe as he named off the ingredients of this nasty concoction she just drank. The thing that blew her mind was the twenty pounds of baby skin. At the thought of it she puked it all up and she want felling good. She looked at him with disgust as she continued to vomit. Then one of the people standing there hit the medic as if to knock it off, and to tell the truth. The medic then proceed to tell the hurling pony what was really in it.
"None of that was really in it. It was a test of your involuntary reflex to certain objects,and it seemed to work."
"If none of that was in that drink, then what was?"
"Keratin, carrots, Vitamin D, and that 'Super Mushroom'. Yeah, that was really in there."
Rainbow Dash looked at the collection of people in the large hanger bay filled with many of things that claim that they were the fastest thing in the universe. Many, if not all of them were bipedal. She wasn't scared as they all looked like a bunch of bitters. She then placed her gaze at the giant robotic medic and began to glare at him angrily. He noticed when he turned that she wasn't very happy with him.
"What, did I do something wrong?" he asked.
"Yea why did you tell me that those thing in there, I mean I could have died-" she was interrupted by the medic.
"Like I said I'm a Doctor I know what's best."
They stared at each other until a Blue hedgehog and a Mexican mouse came into view. The hedgehog broke the stare by speaking.
"Ok lets not get on everyone's bad side alright," then he turned toward Rainbow Dash, "You fell for the medic's little joke didn't you?"
"If you call that a joke." said Rainbow Dash.
"It's alright I to fell for it but he really knows what he's doing." said the hedgehog.
"Ok then if you say so. I know his name but not your's, so what is it?" she asked.
"The name is Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog and sorry for making ya crash into the wall when we were trying to help ya earlier."
Rainbow Dash blushed at the sound of this, not of attractiveness but in embarrassment. She didn't realize that until now, but her head was throbbing in pain but it was bearable.
"So you, ah, were the one on my back?" she asked.
"Yea you were fast but I knew that wasn't your full potential was it?" said Sonic.
"Well now that we are done with that we can introduce you to the rest of the group. You already know Speedy, the joker of a medic is Ratchet and his friend is Bumblebee. The guy in the red suit is or the Flash, the green dinosaur is Yoshi and his friend Mario, and then my lone wolf friend Shadow."
"It's nice to meet you all but do you know exactly what we are all doing here?" asked Rainbow Dash.
They all stood as they all pondered upon the question. None of them knew why they were gathered up and put in this room and forced to interact with each other. As they were pondering they noticed some one approaching them.
"Good you are all conscious, now would you kindly put on these bracelets then you can go through the door behind me and then we can feast!" said the person garnishing many bracelets to hand out.
As each individual pasted the mysterious person they took a bracelet that automatically attached itself to the users wrist. some did at first refuse to wear such a weird piece of jewelry but all did come to terms with it. Rainbow Dash eventually made it up to Sonic.
"Do you remember a dungeon before you wake up here?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"Not really no, why do you ask?"
"Because I do and it wasn't very nice. My friends and I were shoved in some dungeon  and left there to rot and then something gassed us then I woke up in here." said Rainbow Dash.
"Well if that's the case then we must find out who's at the bottom of this, and stop this guy stone cold." said Sonic.
With that the two of them entered a portal and when they resurfaced they saw many tables with their friends sitting around them. they look 100 percent fine and nothing wrong out of the ordinary. The only thing out of place was Pinkie and Twilight they weren't there yet. Rainbow Dash walked over to her friends to see that they were chatting up with some workers and eating some high quality cuisine that was making Applejack feel a little uncomfortable. When the servants saw Rainbow they nervously left and spit some water on their way out. Rainbow Dash really didn't pay much attention to them, but Rarity was a little peeved at the waiter for spilling her drink.
"What happened to Twilight and Pinkie?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"I don't know Rainbow, we haven't seen them since they spoke to that guy over there." she said as she directed Rainbow's attention to Doctor Daisuke Serizawa.
"Well i did see them talk to some guards that were laughing at one of Pinkie's jokes." said Fluttershy.
"Well if that is were they were last seen then we gotta go find them and do it quick because I'm not really trusting this place at the moment." said Rainbow Dash. 
"I think you may have some time, because the last one out of the portal you came out of  is a tortoise and it wight take a while." said Rarity.
Rainbow nodded and casually left the building.
