//------------------------------// // The Daring Rescue // Story: Rainbow Dash makes a Prank Channel // by SaiyanApprentice //------------------------------// Chapter 12: The Daring Rescue “Okay, this is never gonna work” Rainbow argued. Rainbow, Sunset, Casey and Leafy were now just on the outskirts of town. They were trying to find a way to get to the YouTube pranksters hideout in the fastest possible time, however Leafys idea seemed kinda far fetched in terms of it working. “Look dude, this is how I usually get around when I go out to places like this. Slope surfing would be the fastest way to get there, if we keep up the pace of course” said Leafy. Sunset pondered. “Seems kinda difficult to do” Leafy signed. “In CS:GO yes, but in real life, it's like riding a skateboard. Don't ask how it works like that, it's just how my ability works” Rainbow shrugged. “Alright, alright, cool. Soooo who's gonna try first” Leafy they spread his right arm out and formed the concert slope on the flat ground. “This is just practice, but learn fast. Because we honestly don't have much time” “I'll go first” Casey said voluntarily stepping forward. Leafy grinned. “Ooo,Mr.neistat himself, have fun” As Casey approached the slopes he was wondering how to ‘surf’ on it. It seemed odd to him, he wasn't sure how this worked compared to a regular concert slope. “So, how do I ride this thing again?” He asked looking back at leafy. “Just jump on it and slightly lean into the slope” Leafy said. Casey turned back to the slope and prepared to ride it, he backed up slightly, got a running start and then jumped on to the concert slope. He followed the instructions through his head the way Leafy had instructed him and jumped up on the slope. He stumbled at first, but quickly got the hang of it as he concentrated on his balance, letting his weight and the elevation do all the work as he moved a few feet before jumping off. “Hey! It's kinda like riding a boasted board, only….it's not” said Casey. “More like a surfboard honestly” Leafy smiled, then proceeded to turn back to Rainbow and Sunset. “Alright, so who's next?” ~~~~~~~~~~ Jake stumbled as he still being dragged by Rice man, through the narrow dark halls. He didn't know where he was going, but only hoped his safety wasn't at stake. They soon approached a door bigger than average, rice man knocked on the door a few times before it slowly creaked open. The light that was coming through the door was blinding as it hit Jakes face, but once it opened up fully, The blinding light seemed to fade as Jake's eyes adjusted. He got a better look at the outside, all he was seeing ahead was a view of the desert and the canyon around the area. The view seemed rather nice, it would be better to enjoy it if his wrist weren't tied up and he wasn't being held captive. He then felt a tug at his wrist once again as rice man had continued to lead him outside and the view of the desert only seemed to get even more breathtaking as he now saw a bigger view of the canyon around him, he even noticed that he as well as some of the other pranksters around him were standing on a big ledge or cliff. It didn't seem to high up from the ground from jake's perspective, but that does explain the great view after all. He then was drug to the very front of the cliff and was confronted by Brian. Who was standing next to him as his focus was on the barren canyon ahead. “So….it's been a week, no Vanoss. And especially, no Rainbow Dash” Brian said. Jake huffed. “Rainbow Dash didn't really care for me, she made that very clear when she played with my emotions for a measly YouTube video” Brian laughed. “Oh, she made something very clear alright! We practically humiliated her!” Jake looked up at Brian curiously, as much as Rainbow had hurt him, he still didn't like the fact that she was supposedly humiliated. Maybe he was just curious, or maybe he still cared for her. Whatever the case was he never liked the fact of people ganging up on one individual, as he knew what that felt like personally. “What…” “Yeah!” Said Brain. “She didn't want to join our group, she said some nonsense about ‘it shouldn't come at someone else's expense’ but we uploaded that video of you two anyway” Jake looked at him dumbfounded. Did Rainbow really try to back out of being a part of this group? Was that video she made of him and her for this group? “What do you mean at someone else's expense?” said Jake. He chuckled. “Oh Jake, she didn't want to join because she regretted making that video of her kissing you, she wanted it back and didn't want any part of this group” said Brain. A spark in Jake’s emotion suddenly started to take over. She did care about him! She really did! But, why would she even prank him in the first place, even if she tried to take it back. “W-why are you telling me all this” Jake asked. “Because it doesn't even matter anymore, we've won!” said Joey Salads.”We’re getting our money either way” “it's whatever, we put her in her place and I doubt she'll even attempt to show her face for a while now. But for Vanoss, we’re are ready” said Brain. Jake looked back out toward the desert still trying to process everything that's going on. “If you look closely down at the hard and  barren desert floor, we've rigged the whole area around this hide out with traps, deadly pranks, and a lot of other surprises if they even set foot in our area” said Brian. “His empty threats don't scare me!” Jake looked up at Brian confused. “I'm sorry but how do you bury dangerous pranks, I mean I could understand if it was something like a spike strip or something of the sor-” Jake was suddenly yanked up in front of Brains face with anger boiling in his eyes. “You don't learn to shut up do you? Mr.know it all!” Brain Scolded. “The POINT is! There's no way your friends are going to making it up here! Not unless they have a death wish” Jake gulped and was thrown back on the ground where he was kneeling. “Now, rumor has it that today they are going to attempt to take you back” said Brian. “Which is why we’ve prepared” “I thought they sent us a warning?” Said Vytaliz. Brian gritted his teeth. “They did, but that wasn't the mood I was setting up for” Suddenly a few members from OCK.TV came running up. “Brian! There's something coming straight for us in the distance” Brian looked over at them with concern. “Are you absolutely sure?” “We're certain” Brain then looked back in front of him and gave a sly smirk. “So, Vanoss wasn't fibbing was he? Just try and attempt to save your little friend!” Said Brian. “Your Dialog is getting pretty cringy dude, not gonna lie. I've seen more Effort put into low quality live action Sonic the Hedgehog projects and Mcjuggernuggets psycho videos” said Jake. Brian gave Jake a deathly glare. “Do you want to die?! If I didn't want to make Rainbow Dash suffer so much, I would have had my way with you long before now!” ~~~~~~~~~~ “YAHOOOO!” Shouted Rainbow Dash as she landed a front flip on the concrete slope. Rainbow and the others were still practicing getting down the basics of slope surf travel before heading out to save Jake. Needless to say, everything was going pretty smooth. “Common Sunset, this is fun!” said Rainbow. Unlike everyone else, Sunset was a little hesitant of the thought of surfing on a concrete slope formed from magic. I mean what if she fell and hurt herself. “I don't know, maybe I'll pass” said Sunset. “Look Sunset Grapefruit, we don't have a lot of time. And if you want to help your friend in the soonest possible time, I suggest you learn quick” said Leafy. “Yeah Sunset, trust me you'll be fine. If you can compete in the friendship games with, archly, skating and dirt bikes. Then you can surely do this” said Rainbow sliding to the ground. Sunset looked back and forth between the slope and Rainbow, then nodded. She slowly walked up to the slop studying it. It still amazed her that this was real a thing, even if it was originally from a video game and was only being replicated through magic. “So...I..Just,jump on it?” “Yeah, and lean into it, like your going left or right on a skateboard” Rainbow said. Sunset looked closer at the slope. She took a few deep breaths before leaping forward and landing in the middle of the slope. She moved  slowly at first, but then began to pick up speed as she slide forward. “Whoa, whoa, whoa!” She said trying to keep balance. Sunset was leaning back and forward to trying stay upward doing what she was told, trying not to fall. It seemed to work though as she could now stay still when she moved down the slope. “Hey! This is pretty fun” said Sunset. “Still doesn't beat a boosted board” said Casey. “Though, I'm so tempted to film while riding the slop….I'm gonna do it” “Not unless you want to deal with the UN” said Leafy. “Hey” Casey protested. “I can film it for memories and personal use” Leafy shook his head. “Alright, alright, now does everyone feel confident enough to travel on the slope for longer than a short period of time. It's gonna take a while to get there” The 3 YouTubers looked back and forth at each other, then nodded. Confident that they would be able to make the trip. “Yeah, I think we can handle it” said Rainbow. Leafy grinned. “Good. Because the last thing we need is to be slowed down, if you want to get there in time that is” “They don't call me Rainbow Dash for nothin!” Rainbow bragged. “Being slow isn't my style” Leafy smirked. “I'd like to test that statement” Leafy then gently waved his arm out, making the short concrete slope; the three used for practice, crumble to the ground. “Alright let's get moving” said Leafy. “Just follow my lead, and we’ll get there in no time” With that said Leafy once again waved his hand out, creating another concrete slope. The then proceeded to walk up to it as everyone else followed. “It's gonna start out slow, but we’re gonna speed up real quick when I lay down a speed slope, be prepared” said Leafy. Casey then picked up his camera and pointed at himself. “Alright so, practice is over. Now it's time to ride the slope, it should be a really cool experience so I'll try to get some amazing shots with the drone and camera” said Casey. Sunset looked back at Casey curiously. “Your seriously gonna add this in your vlog?” Casey shrugged. “Well if the whole world finds out...yes, but! Like I said I could use it for personal use, it's not everyday you get to surf on concert slopes” “If you say so” said Sunset. “I'll just hang in the back, don't worry about me” said Casey. Leafy then jumped up onto the sloped, followed by Rainbow Dash wasting no to jump on behind him. Sunset was next to go, she was a little nervous at first, but pushed through her worries and jumped on the slope behind Rainbow. Casey smiled watching the three and ran up to the slope; still having his vlog camera in his hand and jumped on it behind Sunset. “Yeah! Now we're moving!” Exclaimed Casey. “Everyone get ready, we're about to start really moving” said Leafy. Leafy than looked at the slopes path ahead of them that was forming as they continued. He than waved his hand once again at once part of the slope In Particular. Rainbow didn't know what he was doing at first, but it hit her when suddenly Leafy took off like a bullet, and then suddenly. They were off. ~~~~~~~~~~ Brain continued to study the landscape ahead of him. He was curious on how close Vanoss was from them, it had been awhile since they reported movement coming toward the Pranksters hideout. “I thought you told me they were coming for us” said Brian. “They are” the Members of Ock.TV said Simultaneously. “They should still be here or within sight at any moment” “Well than why are th-” “U-uh, Brian” Fousey started. “You might wanna..” “What Fousey?! What's wrong?!” Exclaimed Brian. Fousey exhaled with anger. “Look over there!!” He said pointing out toward the canyon. Brain looked out to see what it looked like strange vehicles coming toward them...by air. If that didn't catch him off guard but that, he could also hear the faint sound of music coming from that direction too. Sounded like 80s Rock. Jake however knew exactly what they were and he couldn't believe his eyes. What he was seeing he’d never thought he'd see these in person. “A-are those….C-C-Cargobobs?” He stammered. “Carrying...no! Tanks! Cars from Grand thef-” Jake stopped mid sentence and jerked his head up toward Brain. “Dude! Do You have any idea what he's bringing to this place?” He shouted. Brian blinked. “Even though what he's bringing is...you know, every video game geeks dream come true” said Jake. “He's packing Weapons...WEAPONS! From videos game we've played for his channel! please, it doesn't have be like this. Vanoss truly cares about the people in his life, and he'll do anything to ansure we’re okay!” Brian studied Jake for a minute continuing to focus on the situation at hand. “I didn't think that it would come to something like this! Please let's call this off” said Jake. “Is Rainbow Dash really worth all this?” Brain paused as he took in that question with careful thought. But brushed it off as he grinned back at the incoming fleet. “I'll test my luck”
