Before she did anything Bright pulled two golden circles out of thin air and clamped them around her hooves.
"Magical restraints" she explained, "so I don't accidentally destroy the entire universe."
"Wait, what?! You can actually do that?!" exclaimed Rainbow.
"Yep."
She flew higher. And higher. And she flew even higher before suddenly dropping into a steep dive.
A cone of light started to appear, similar to the one that formed when Rainbow Dash did the Sonic Rainboom.
Bright whizzed through the cloud, making a hole in it. She repeated the action until there were so many holes in the cloud it looked like a slice of swiss cheese.
All the ponies could only watch as she flapped, going so high they could barely see her.
She snapped her wings to her sides and fell front hooves first. Four ribbons of light were created by her hooves, trailing behind her.
Bright Blaze started to spin, creating a beautiful spiral of light behind her. When she collided with the (considerably smaller) Acrinosiant, there was a huge flash of light, making everyone turn their heads away.
Rainbow was the first to look back, so she was the only one who saw Bright Blaze plummet down to the town square. Everyone saw the huge dust cloud from where she landed though.
Twilight and Rainbow flew down to check on her. They found her lying in a crater outside Town Hall. What interested Twilight most was Bright's wings.
"Rainbow, come here."
"Yeah?" said Rainbow Dash, but then she caught sight of the pegasus' wings.
There were huge clumps of feathers missing, but that wasn't the strangest thing.
Where the feathers were gone, underneath a thin coating of shimmering blue, the ponies could clearly see the cogs, pistons and machinery that made up the pegasus' wings.
