//------------------------------// // Sonic Rainboom // Story: The Tale of the Second Alpha // by Bergen //------------------------------// A few months has passed since Twilight and her friends saved Equestria from Nightmare Moon returning the Mare of Darkness back into the Princess of the Night and little sister of Princess Celestia, Princess Luna. Now the light blue Pegasus and spirit of the Element of Harmony, Rainbow Dash has been training for the Best Young Fliers competition that is held every year in the hometown of both Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, Cloudsdale. Cloudsdale is a massive floating city that is made out of clouds, which is the center for all the weather in Equestria, it is also the most competitive of all the cities in Equestria, and its design is very similar to that of Greco-Roman culture. Anyway Rainbow Dash was practicing her routine for the show with a little cheering help from Fluttershy, if you can even call it help. "Now what have we learned ?" Rainbow asked Fluttershy hovering above her in the middle of a grassy field. "Lots of control." Fluttershy said up to Rainbow. "Good." Rainbow said in agreeing with her friend. "Screaming and hollering." Fluttershy continued. "Yes, and most importantly." Rainbow said to Fluttershy. "Passion." Fluttershy said ending her statement. "Right, Now you know the elements of a good cheer. Lets hear one." Rainbow said landing on the ground. "Yay..." Fluttershy said to Rainbow her so called cheer barely audible. "You're going to cheer for me like that. Louder!" Rainbow said to Fluttershy. "Yay." Fluttershy said to Rainbow a little louder than before, but still at whisper lever. "Louder!" Rainbow said back to her friend urging her to be louder. "Yay." Fluttershy responded back her cheer still not even close to what Rainbow wanted. "Louder!"Rainbow all but yelled at her friend. Fluttershy than inhaled deeply and said. "Yay." The cheer a little louder than the three before it, but still below Rainbow's expectations. "Ugh!' Rainbow said to herself falling backwards on the grassing ground disappointed at Fluttershy's perform. "To loud?" Fluttershy said not understanding the meaning of Rainbow Dash's moments. A few minutes pass and Rainbow Dash is sitting on a small cloud a few hundred feet above the ground. "And now phase one of the routine." Rainbow said as she jumped off the cloud and flew through a group of trees. "And now phase two." Rainbow said to herself before she rocketed up into the sky and flew around a cloud in a circular motion, making it spin. She used the momentum from the cloud to fly off into another and did the same motion to a nearby cloud twice. "Way to go." Fluttershy said up to her friend in her calm and quiet voice trying to cheer her on. "Here we go phase three the Sonic Rainboom." Rainbow said and she plummeted toward the ground. Rainbow Dash was traveling so fast that the air she was passing through began to form around as she reached supersonic speeds. She continued to go faster and faster until she literally hit a wall of air stopping her process dead in its tracks. The air then pushed back at her making fly off out of the field heading toward Twilight's library. Speaking of Twilight's library the rest of the Mane Six were busy helping Twilight clean up her books after a long weekend of studying. "Last one." Twilight said using her magic to put the last book on the shelf. "Thank you all so much for helping clean up all these books guys. It was a crazy weekend of studying." Twilight said becoming the unicorn of exposition. At that exact moment however Rainbow Dash slammed into the library through one of the open windows and the force from the impact knocked all of the restacked books back onto the floor. "Rainbow Dash you rock, woohoo." Did my cheering do that?" Fluttershy said from the open window. "Sorry about that ladies. That was a truly feeble performance." Rainbow said apologizing to the four ponies and scudding Fluttershy at the same time. "Actually it wasn't all bad. I practically liked it when you made the clouds spin." Fluttershy said to Rainbow not getting the meaning of her previous statement. "Ugh! I'm not talking about my performance. I'm talking about yours. That feeble cheering." Rainbow said back to Fluttershy becoming for frustrated with her very different personality. "What are you two arguing about." Twilight the two Pegasi. "Were we arguing? I'm sorry." Fluttershy said to Twilight apologizing to the whole group of ponies. "Ugh. I wish you guys could come to Cloudsdale, and see me compete in the Best Young Fliers Competition." Rainbow Dash said to the rest of her friends wishing that they could also go. "What's that?" Twilight asked Rainbow. "It's where all the best young Pegasus get together to show off their best flying stuff." Pinkie said explaining the competition in a short crash course statement, literally. "Some are fast." Pinkie said well racing around the library in a circle."Some are graceful." Pinkie said trying to dance only to trip on the one of the books and tumble off into a bookcase. "I wish you guys could be there. Fluttershy is great support, but her cheering isn't exactly inspirational." Rainbow said, while still being polite. "Oh I'd love to see you make a Sonic Rainboom. It's like the most coolest thing ever. All though I haven't seen it before. But it's a Sonic Rainboom. How not cool, couldn't not be, right!" Pinkie said rambling on about the Sonic Rainboom. "What's a Sonic Rainboom?" Twilight asked Pinkie, probably for some more exposition. "You really to get out more. When a Pegasus like Rainbow Dash is going so fast... boom!" Pinkie said explaining the Sonic Rainboom jumping off the top floor in the books, some of them flying upward from the impact. A sonic boom and a rainbow can happen all at the same time." Pinkie said finishing her explanation of the move. "And Rainbow Dash is the only pony to pull it off." Applejack said, heading onto Pinkie's statement. "It was a long time ago. I was just a filly." Rainbow said surprisingly modest, and talking when she made a Sonic Rainboom the first which is how she got her cutie mark. "Yeah, but you're going to do it again, right?" Pinkie said to Rainbow. "Are you kidding I'm the greatest flier that as ever come out of Cloudsdale. I can do Sonic Rainboom in my sleep." Rainbow said hiding her nervousness pretty well. "If you pull that off you'll win for sure." Twilight said to Rainbow. "The grand prize is an entire day with the Wonderbolts. A whole day of flying with my lifelong heroes. It'll be a dream come true. I better go rest up. Don't want to over prepare myself. Ya know. You on the other hoof better keep practicing. I need a cheering section that matches my performance." Rainbow said fangirling over her heroes and flew out of the library. "She's practiced that move hundred times, and she has never come close to creating a Sonic Rainboom. I don't know if I can cheer loud enough to help her." Fluttershy said following Rainbow out of the window. "Well I guess we should get the cleaned up... again." Twilight said both showing her unique form of frustration. "Go on... go on." Rarity said pushing Twilight. "Go on what?" Twilight asked Rarity confused. "Go find a spell that will get us wings. So we can go to to Clousdale. Didn't you see how nervous she was." Rarity said explaining herself. "Nervous, have you lost your last bit or something. She was tooting her own horn louder than the brass section of marching band." Applejack said to Rarity. "Oh please, I've put on enough fashion shows to recognize stage fright when I see it. We've got to find a way to be there for her. No go on." Rarity said coming to the defense of Rainbow Dash and ending her statement by pushing Twilight pile of books. "Ugh! How am I supposed to find flight spell in this mess." Twilight said her frustration mounting. "A flight spell, one sec." Pinkie before rushed off grabbing a book and throwing it to Twilight. "Page twenty-seven" Pinkie said as Twilight used her magic to flip to the right page. "How'd you do that?" Applejack asked Pinkie Pie. "It landed on my face when Rainbow Dash knocked me into the bookcase." Pinkie said slightly explaining her unrivaled ability to defy physics. "Here it is. A spell that will allow earth ponies to fly for three days. Oh, it looks really difficult. I'm not sure if I can do it." Twilight said expressing her concern about the spell. "You've got to try." Rarity said to Twilight. "Ok, but who is going to volunteer to be the test subject." Twilight said which made Applejack and Pinkie slightly look at each other with concern on their face. "I will! For Rainbow Dash I will go first." Rarity said showing a high amount of courage. "Here it goes." Twilight said and her horn glowed a magenta color. The magic from her horn created a tornado like blue magic that consumed Rarity. The spell worked giving Rarity brand new set of wings. "I think it worked." Twilight said exhausted in an almost intoxicated manner. The scene shifts to Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy as they are flying into the massive floating city of Cloudsdale. "You've got to be more assertive Fluttershy. Don't be afraid to speak up." Rainbow Dash said to her yellow friend as the two Pegasus landed on the cloud ground of the city. "Well, well, well. What do we have here?" A brown Pegasus said to Rainbow Dash, I'm just going to call him Brown Asshole. "It's our old friend Rainbow Crash." A yellow Pegasus said to Rainbow making a bad pun out of her name, I'm just going to call him Yellow Asshole. "Get kick out of any flight schools lately?" Brown Asshole said to Rainbow trying and by Rainbow facial expression failing to bulling her. "I didn't get kicked out." Rainbow said to the two asshole Pegasi defending herself. "Face it, Rainbow Crash. Flight school had to many rules, and not enough breaks for you" Brown Asshole said to Rainbow Dash. "Ask her about the Sonic Rainbow." Yellow Asshole said to his partner. "That's nothing but and old mare's tale. You don't have the skills to try something like that." Brown Asshole said. "Now just wait a second." Fluttershy said to the two pegasi showing more courage in two seconds than she has for half of her life. "I'm sorry trying to be more assertive. Anyhow she is going to do a Sonic Rainboom." Fluttershy said coming the defense of her friend. "No she's not, because there's no such thing." Brown Asshole said to Fluttershy. "Then show up at the Cloudiseum and see for yourself. If you're free." Fluttershy said, while still trying polite. "Oh don't worry we'll be there." Brown Asshole said. "See you there Rainbow Crash." Yellow Asshole as the two pegasi flew off followed by a gray Pegasus. "Did you see that I was so assertive." Fluttershy said proud of herself for her performance. "Those guys are right. I'll never be able to do it." Rainbow said starting to doubt herself. "But Rainbow Dash just because you failed the Sonic Rainboom a hundred thousand times in practice. Doesn't mean that you won't be able to do it in front of a stadium filled with impatient, supercritical, sport-fan ponies." Fluttershy said just adding some more gasoline to Rainbow Dash's freak out fire. "What do I do?! Everypony is going to see me fail. The Wonderbolts would never let a loser like me join. Princess Celestia will than probably banish me to the Everfree Free Forest. My life is ruined." Rainbow Dash said going into full freak out mode. "Rar..." Fluttershy began to say. "Rare? The Sonic Rainboom is way more than rare!" Rainbow said to Fluttershy not understanding the meaning of her words. "R-Rarity." Fluttershy said pointing up their flying friend. Rarity wings were massive butterfly like wings as she hovered above the two pegasi. "Rarity... are you flying?" Rainbow Dash said shocked at their flying friend. "I most certainly am. Aren't my wings smashing. Twilight made them for me. I just adore them." Rarity said admiring her new wings as Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy's jaws looked like they were about to hit the ground. "Why so shocked? We couldn't have the best flier without the a big cheering section." Rarity said to the two Pegasi. "We?" Rainbow said as a pink hot air balloon poked out the clouds with the rest of the Mane Six in its basket. "I-I can't believe it." Rainbow said her small freak out earlier slipping away. "It's incredible." Fluttershy said admiring the balloon. "This is so cool You guys made it." Rainbow said as Pinkie jumped out of the basket. "Wait!" Rainbow said as Pinkie landed safely on the clouds. "How'd you do that? I thought that only Pegasus ponies can walk on clouds." Rainbow said as the rest of the ponies hopped out of the balloon. "Pretty cool, right." Pinkie said doing cartwheels on the cloud ground. "I found a spell that makes temporary wings, but it was to difficult to do more than once. So I found an easier spell that allowed the rest of us to walk on clouds." Twilight said explaining how they were able to walk on the clouds. "And we came to cheer you to victory." Applejack said adding to Twilight's words. "To be honest, I was starting to get a little bit nervous. But I feel a lot better now that you guys are here." Rainbow said admitting being nervous to her friends, while still keeping out her small freak out. "Hey we've got some time before the competition. Why don't Fluttershy and I show you guys around Cloudsdale." Rainbow Dash said and the four other ponies followed the two pegasi deeper into Cloudsdale. A few minutes passed as the six ponies are traveling through Cloudsdale, Rainbow Dash giving commentary while they are walking. "Some of the greatest Pegasi have come from Cloudsdale." Rainbow Dash said the six ponies passed a construction zone. "Those wings are gorgeous." One of the construction pegasi said letting go of his jackhammer which fell off the cloud they were working on. "Why thank you." Rarity said becoming for full of herself as the day went on. "Be careful with those wings Rarity. They are made from gossamer and morning dew, and they're incredibly delectate." Twilight said to Rarity, foreshadowing future events. "Don't worry Twilight. I'm sure they can't get wore out from to much attention." Rarity said down to Twilight. "Since we're up here I like to see where the weather is made." Applejack said to the whole group. "Great idea, come on girls to the weather factory." Rainbow Dash said as the six ponies headed to the weather factory of Cloudsdale. The Mane Six arrived at the Weather Factory, but more specifically the part of the factory that makes the snowflakes for winter. "This where they make the snowflakes. each one is hoof made. As you can see it is a very delicate operation." Rainbow Dash said explaining the process of how the pegasi created winter. "Oh the snowflakes look even better from up here." Rarity said flying up to the ceiling. The wind created from Rarity created a breeze powerful enough to blow away the snowflakes the worker pegasi were working on. "We better move on before Rarity ruins winter and causes a drought." Rainbow said the worker pegasi used buckets on their heads to catch the falling snowflakes. The Mane Six than left the winter part of the factory heading toward were the rainbows were made. The six ponies arrived at the part of the factory that makes the rainbows a few minutes later. "And here's where they make the rainbows." Rainbow Dash said as the six ponies traveled through the building. Pinkie dipped on of her hoofs in a mixture of what is used to make rainbows and tasted it. "Spicy!" Pinkie said as her face changed to the colors of the rainbow and ran off to get a glass of water. "Rainbows aren't really known for their favor." Rainbow Dash said seeing Pinkie run off. "Where'd you get those amazing wing? I want a pair." Yellow Asshole said to Rarity as she was hovering over everypony. "Yeah, I guess I can that." Rarity said the attention from her wings getting to her head. sa "Oh yay look, its Rainbow Crash again." Brown Asshole said seeing Rainbow Dash. "Yeah Rainbow... uh... Crash." Yellow Asshole said stupidly. "Rarity what are you doing talking to those guys?" Rainbow Dash said to Rarity. "Oh they were just admiring my wings, Rainbow Dash." Rarity said down to Rainbow Dash. "Yeah you should forget the Sonic Rainboom, and just get some wings like these." Brown Asshole said to Rainbow Dash as the pegasi flew off. "Oh come on girls, why don't we see how clouds are made." Fluttershy said to the group seeing a depressed look on Rainbow Dash's face. "Don't listen to them you're going to be great." Fluttershy said to Rainbow Dash trying to cheer her up, sadly to no avail. "Are you kidding!? I can't do a Sonic Rainboom, and just look at these old boring feathered wings. I'm doomed!" Rainbow Dash said the words from the other pegasi getting to her. The six ponies arrived at the part of the factory of where the clouds were made. Almost immediately the workers of the factory admired Rarity's wings. "What these old things. Go ahead everypony photos are encouraged." Rarity treating her wings as if they were a piece of clothing. "Rarity you're supposed to help Rainbow relax remember. Now put your wings away and stop showing off." Twilight said to Rarity scudding her for just making Rainbow's anxiety worse. "Oh, how can you ask me to put away perfection.?" Rarity flying up to the sun. The light beams from the sun shined through her wings and created a beautiful lights from it. "Rainbow are you ok. You don't look so good." Twilight said down to Rainbow Dash you was sitting on the ground having a slight mental breakdown. "Oh course, I mean why wouldn't I be ok? Everypony is so in love with Rarity's wings. They won't even notice when I blow it in the best young flier competition." Rainbow said about it lose it. "Hey there's an idea.. You should enter the competition." One of the worker Pegasus said to Rarity. "Yeah I could watch you fly all day long." An older Pegasus worker who looked a lot like Granny Smith. "There really isn't anypony that uses their wings quite like mine. Perhaps I should compete." Rarity said to all the ponies, flying off. "What am I going to do. I'll never win the competition now." Rainbow said as the scene switches to the Cloudiseum. "Fillies and Gentlecolts, please raise and join me in welcoming our beloved Princess Celestia. The announcer of the event said as Celesta flew in landing on her platform with two guards on each of her sides. "Please welcome our celebrity judges... the Wonderbolts!" The announcer continued as the Wonderbolts flew overhead, smoke trailing behind them. "And now let's find out who will take the prize and be this years best young flier." The announcer said as the competition began. In the dressing room inside the Cloudiseum the consents were getting ready for their performances. "Ok contestant number one you're up." One of the staff of the area said. "Aah!" Rainbow Dash said to herself seeing that she was number two. "Ok number two lets go." The same Pegasus said when number one finished their performance. "Come on, come on, we ain't got all day." The Pegasus said as Rainbow switched numbers with another brown Pegasus. "She's talking to you." Rainbow said to the Pegasus. "Oh, I guess that's me." The brown Pegasus said flying off. "Ok number four it's time to go." The staff Pegasus said talking about Rarity. "I'm number and I need one more minute. Be a dear and have somepony go ahead of me." Rarity poking her head out of the dressing room still getting ready for her performance. "Look I don't care who it is, but somepony got to go on." The Pegasus said starting to get frustrated. "Let's do this." Number seven said flying out to do his routine. "I love number seven. Doing fifteen barrel rolls can't be easy." Twilight said talking to her friends in their seats. "I like number ten see looked like such a nice pony." Fluttershy said back. "I wonder why we haven't seen Rarity or Rainbow Dash yet. The competition is almost over." Applejack noticing their friends absence. "Number fifteen lets go." The staff Pegasus said to Rainbow Dash who was laying on the floor having a mental breakdown. "Rarity is ready." Rarity said walking out of her dressing room covered in over the top makeup. "Look ladies, I don't know what to tell you. There's only enough time for one more performance. If you both want to perform, you'll just have to go out together." The Pegasus said to the two of them. "Well Rainbow Dash, shall we?" Rarity said to her friend who was obviously losing it. "And now for our final competitor of the day, contestant number fifteen." The announcer said as Rainbow Dash nervously flew out of the curtain. "And apparently, contestant number four." The announcer said as Rarity also flew out to join Rainbow Dash. "Good luck, Rainbow Dash. Just do your best. I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty to change our music. That rock and roll doesn't really match my wings." Rarity said to Rainbow Dash as classical music begins to play, as Rarity begins her almost belay like routine. "Come on, Rainbow Dash. You can do this, just remember the routine, phase one. Rainbow said to herself trying to pull herself together. Rainbow than flew through a bunch of cloud pillars much like she did earlier that day. About half way through phase one Rainbow hit on of the pillars causing her to fly out of control and run into a wall. "Nice work, Rainbow Crash." The Yellow Pegasus from earlier said mocking Rainbow and her misfortune. "Time for phase two." Rainbow Dash said to herself and went to fly around a group of clouds in a circle. The momentum from her moment caused the clouds to spin. "Look, phase two is working." Fluttershy said and the rest of rainbow's friends cheer. However one of Rainbow's clouds spins out of control and nearly hits Celestia. "And now for my grand finale... I will fly up to the sun, and beam my beautiful wings down onto the city of Cloudsdale. They'll be talking about it for years." Rarity said going into her final part of her performance. "Looks like this is my final chance to turn things around. Phase three the Sonic... Rainboom. Wings don't fail me now." Rainbow said to herself seeing Rarity fly higher into the sky. She than rocketed up into the sky gaining enough altitude to perform the Sonic Rainboom. "Look upon me, Equestria. For I am Rarity." Rarity said as the light from the sun shown through her beautiful wings. However the heat from the sun also caused Rarity's wings to evaporate. "Uh... Oh!" Rarity said before plummeting from the sky. "Oh No! Her wings evaporated into thin air." Twilight said stating the obvious. The Wonderbolts than rocketed down to Rarity trying to save her. Only to be knock unconscious by her from her flailing limbs. "Hang on Rarity, I'm coming." Rainbow said seeing Rarity falling toward the and rocketed down after her. "I can't look." Fluttershy said fearing that she would lose not just one but two friends. The entire crowd gasped as a wall of air formed around Rainbow Dash as flied faster and faster, closing in on breaking the sound. The wall than shattered in a massive explosion that also broken the visible light spectrum causing a massive Sonic Rainboom, an explosion so powerful it rocked all of Equestria. "A Sonic Rainboom! She did it! She did it!" Fluttershy cheered louder than she had ever done before in her life. Rainbow than caught both Rarity and the Wonderbolts just before they could hit the ground. Rainbow than safely landed back on the Cloudiseum to the sound of cheers and applause from the entire crowd. "I did it. I did it." Rainbow said surprisingly humble. "You sure did. Oh thank you, Rainbow Dash you saved my life." Rarity said to Rainbow with two Pegasus holding her above the clouds. "Well yeah.. I did that too. Best day ever!" Rainbow Dash celebrating her fit of awesomeness, The rainbow by her Sonic Rainboom arching over the area. I want to apologize for to all of you for getting so carried away with my beautiful wings. I guess I just got lost my head." Rarity said to her friends sitting in the basket of the hot air balloon. All of her friends accepted her apology and Rarity apologized directly to Rainbow Dash. "And I'm expressly sorry for you Rainbow Dash. As to jump into the contest at the last minute. After you had work so hard to win it. Can you ever, ever forgive me." Rarity said to Rainbow her near death experience turning her incredibly humble. "It's ok. Everything turned out ok right, right." Rainbow Dash said accepting her apology. "I just wished I could of met the Wonderbolts when they were still awake." Rainbow said only to get a tap on her shoulder. Rainbow Dash turned around to see the three Wonderbolts she had just saved standing in front of her. "Oh, my gosh." Rainbow said repeating the same word four times as she was fangirling. "So you're the little pony who saved our lives. We're really wanted to meet you and say thanks." Spitfire, the leader of the Wonderbolts said to Rainbow thanking her for saving their lives. "Oh, my gosh." Rainbow said repeating the same phrase again four times. "Princess Celestia." Twilight said noticing her mentor. "Hello Twilight Sparkle, and hello to your friends." Celestia said to the six ponies as they bowed to her. "Princess Celestia... I'm sorry. I ruined the competition, Rainbow Dash really is the best flier in Equestria." Rarity said apologizing to the Princess. "I know she is my dear. That is why for her incredible attack of bravery and spectacular Sonic Rainboom. I'm presenting the grand prize for the best young flier to Rainbow Dash." Celestia as a Pegasus put a crown on Rainbow's head and she was carried off saying "Oh my gosh." She repeated the same phrase multiple times I've just to right it over and over again. "Now Twilight have you learned anything about friendship from this experience." Celestia said asking her number one student. "I did, but I like Rarity learned even more than I did." Twilight said to her mentor. "I certainly did. I learned that how important it is to keep your hoofs on the ground, and be their for your friends." Rarity said providing the moral the episode, I mean chapter. Shit I hope no one noticed that. "Excellent, well done Rarity." Celestia said to the white unicorn as Rainbow returned. "This really is the best day ever." Rainbow said now officially the greatest young flier in Equestria. "Hey, Rainbow Crash." Brown Asshole began to say to Rainbow only to be corrected by Yellow Asshole. "Dash." "Sorry Rainbow Dash. We just wanted to congregate you on winning." Brown Asshole said to Rainbow. Ok I'll call them Brown and Yellow Pegasus now, happy readers. "That Sonic Rainboom was awesome." Yellow Pegasus said Rainbow Dash. "We're really sorry we gave you such an hard time before." Brown Pegasus said to Rainbow apologizing for being dicks to her earlier. "That's ok, don't worry about it." Rainbow said to the two pegasi. "Hey you want to hang out with us sometime. Maybe you can show us that incredible trick." Brown Pegasus said trying a little to hard to become friends with Rainbow Dash." "Sorry boys, but I got plans." Rainbow said as she flew off with two of the Wonderbolts on each side of her. Back in Canterlot the unicorn Moondancer was devoting most of her time to find out how to explain all the recent seismic activity that had been plaguing the city ever since the return of Nightmare Moon. As Moondancer was study her equipment there was massive explosion overhead that rocked the city. The explosion was from Rainbow Dash's Sonic Rainboom as the rainbow colored explosion spread across the city. Almost instantaneously the city was also rocked by another earthquake as the massive dragon that sleep underneath the city slowing began to reawaken. "Moondancer." Moondancer heard as somepony knocked on her door. The unicorn opened it to see a blue unicorn standing in front of her. "Moondancer, Twinkleshine is having a party you wanna come." The blue unicorn by the name of Minuette said to Moondancer. "No, I'm too busying studying." Moondancer said to Minuette refusing another party invitation. She closed the wooden door behind her and returned to her studies opening up a book that talked about the ancient history of Equestria. "Contrary to popular pony belief Equestria was not always ruled by ponies. Longer before the pony settlers came to the great land of Equestria it was ruled by dragons." Moondancer said as she read the book out loud as at that exact moment the city was rocked by another minor earthquake only readable by Moondancer earthquake mentoring machine of her own making. "The leader of all the dragons was the Alpha, a dragon a massive dragon the size of a mountain. This Alpha over the land of Equestria passing on his Alpha status onto one of his two apprentices. Not much is known about the two apprentices of the Alpha." Moondancer continued to read as a second earthquake hit Canterlot, this one stronger than the one before it. "All that is known is the both of them disappeared about fifteen hundred years and no pony or dragon as seen them since." Moondancer said finishing her studies and looking at the graph her machine at graph out that day. "None of the earthquakes were recorded until after the Sonic Rainboom a few years back." Moondancer said to herself noticing the connection between the Sonic Rainboom by Rainbow Dash and the beginning of the earthquakes. "And there weren't any earthquakes until the princess returned." Moondancer said making an even bigger connection. "The princesses need to know about my findings." Moondancer said to herself, as she headed out of her house toward the castle as the remaining colors from Rainbow Dash's Sonic Rainbow began to fade back into the blue sky of day.
