The Discovery

"Wh-who are you?" Asked Harry, part of him worried, the other half screaming like an over-excited marching band kid on the inside.

"The name's Dash... Rainbow Dash." Said the apparently named Rainbow Dash with a very bad 007 reference.

"The fastest pony in all of Equestria." Boasted the very cocky Pegasus.

"What are you doing in my bedroom?" Questioned the now very excited Harry. Rainbow Dash is here! As you all know Rainbow Dash is the best pony!

I disagree with this, Twilight Sparkle is the best pony!

Shut up Gage, get out of my fanfiction!

Nein!

Enough of this. Now back to you Harry.

"What do you want almighty Dash?" Harry questioned in his very fanboyish voice.

"You need to come with me." Stated the now very serious Dash.

"Whatever you want Dash." A very excited Harry pronounced.

"Another thing... don't call me Dash."

"Awwww." Whined Harry.

"Now please step through here." Rainbow Dash announced with a wave of her wing. She motioned towards a monochrome portal in Harry's closet.

He was positive that wasn’t there before.

"Shouldn't I tell my parents I'm leaving?" Harry questioned.

"Parents are overrated." Rainbow Dash said halfway through the portal.

Harry left a note anyway.

He stepped through the portal and was immediately greeted with colorful ponies and bright colored flora. In the distance a mountain could be seen, atop it could be seen a large, Kremlin-like structure. Brightly coloured structures could be seen to his left, to his right he could see the Everfree forest with smoke billowing out from the canopy.

"Follow me." Rainbow Dash pronounced walking towards the Everfree forest.
Harry reluctantly followed.

Rainbow Dash led him deep into the forest. Past dark trees with creepy birds on their branches, even by what Harry thought looked like a zebra.

They stopped in front of a rundown castle in a very deep part of the forest.

"I've seen this before!" An excited Harry exclaimed.

"Wh-Where?" An extremely worried Rainbow Dash asked, losing her composure for a second before regaining it.

"In some dream I had in the car. I think I was high on sugar though. I had just had an extra-large soda with three sugar packets dumped in." Harry said remembering the very delicious sugary drink, with a depressed face.

"Yeah that must've been it." Rainbow Dash responded very quickly, without much hesitation.

Harry made a point to remember that.

"What's this?" Asked Harry.

"This is what you're here for."

"What for?"

"A man named Dimitri Romankov has stolen Twilight Sparkle." Said Rainbow Dash in a very low, depressed voice.

"What!" Exclaimed Harry. A look of utter shock on his face.

"That's what I said!" Yelled an exasperated Rainbow Dash.

"What do you need me to do?" Harry almost screamed at Rainbow Dash.

"We need you to find Twilight Sparkle."

"How?"

"Easy. Enter the Maremacht compound, find Dimitri Romankov, then summon me using the transmitter I will give you."

"You call that easy! I don't know who he is, what he looks like, I barely remember how to get back to Ponyville!"
Rainbow Dash stared at Harry for a while.

"Do you really think I would send you into the Maremacht compound without a briefing!?"

"Maybe..."

"Well then you would be wrong!" Yelled Rainbow Dash.

"Do you know how much dark... I mean magic I had to use to get you here! I wouldn't just send you into the second most dangerous place in all of Equestria unaware of what to do! How thick can you possibly be!?" Yelled Rainbow Dash as she stormed off into the
castle.

"Wait!" Harry yelled after the fuming Rainbow Dash.

"I'd give her a little time to calm down there sugarcube. She just lost her... friend." Stated an orange pony with a cutie mark of a trio of apples.

What? I told you Harry was a brony. He knows these things.

If you were insinuating that he watches pony flank intently, this is incorrect.

Gage! Butt out!

Nein!

Continue Harry!

"Applejack!" Harry exclaimed happier than Big Mac on a farm with newly grown apples ready to be harvested!

"That's right sugarcube. So what's yer name?" Applejack drawled.

"Harry."

"That's nice sugarcube."

"Is that your excuse for forgetting people's names?" Pondered Harry.

"Maybe..."

"So where are the others; Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Spike? In the library I presume. Trying to figure out a way to recover
Twilight."

"Rarity and Spike might be, but Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy are off doin' Celestia knows what!" Replied Applejack clearly upset with Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy.

Which I agree with. Everyone should be upset with Pinkie Pie.

Gage can you... actually you're right. Continue.

Nah I just wanted to rant.

Alright. Harry take it away.

"Well while Rainbow Dash calms down can I go with you back to Ponyville?" Harry asked nervously for he knew Rainbow Dash needed
his help.

"Sure thing sugarcube, follow me and we'll be home in a jiffy.” Applejack stated with her cool southern accent.

“Thanks I followed Rainbow Dash into this forest and I didn’t really pay attention as to where we were going, or where we came from. Now that I’m thinking about it that probably wasn’t the smartest idea now was it?”

“Has anyone told you that you talk a lot sugarcube?” Questioned Applejack.

“Eh… a few.”

I have.

Not now Gage!

The rest of the walk to Ponyville was silent.

The walk took about half an hour to forty-five minutes. The Everfree forest getting less and less terrifying as they went. When suddenly
they broke into the beautiful wide open passages of Ponyville.

First of all, he has a watch? And secondly, according to Dimitri (this book's prologue) Ponyville is at war with itself.

Gage! Dimitri has a computer in his head, and you’re complaining that Harry has a watch?

I wasn’t complaining that Harry has a watch. I was only making a comment.

“Well hmm... Harry was it I’ve gotta get back to the orchard. Make sure Granny Smith hasn’t broken her hip again. The library’s the biggest tree on the left. I’ll catch up with you when I’m done.”

“Thanks Applejack!” Harry yelled as Applejack ran towards her farm at the end of the road.

Harry slowly made his way towards the tree Applejack had told him about.

Harry slowly opened the door trying not to distract anything that could be inside, only there was nothing there.

Harry listened carefully and heard quiet voices.

“Ok I won’t tell anyone you’re here.”

“Thanks Spike.”

Harry almost choked. He was sure that voice belonged to Twilight Sparkle.

3883482 I revoke the troll comment, as you have an actual reason. And I respond to your comment thusly: the self inserts (Which I'm assuming you are speaking of the italic/ bold sections) were for comedic reasons. And, the description is a bit lacking, I understand. I'll talk to the author, see if we can't fix that. Also, it is not a crossover, the author is just uncreative with names, and his room is plastered with Harry Potter, sorry for any confusion.

However, the story stays as it is at the moment. Only future chapters will be affected.

[Gherkin]

3885254 FYI, "self-insert" refers to the premise of the story, in which the author is the protagonist, therefore inserting themselves into the story.

Seeing as it generally amounts to little more than blatant wish-fulfillment, it's largely looked down upon.

[RainbowDashFan9001]

As the author of the story and this being my first story I actually thank you for your comments of the story. I would like to also say that I am sorry about the lack of description and that is definitely something I am working on with chapter 3. I ask that not only you continue to express your opinion, but that you give the story one more chance with chapter three because I swear I will take each and every comment into consideration. If at the end of chapter 3 I will accept the final commands and decide whether or not to continue with the story. As I said I except and welcome you reviews but I do ask that you do not post full hate about the story. If you don't like the story that is your opinion and I accept that but, I also ask that you at least comment why you don't like that. I also ask that you do not hate on my writing advisor The12GageKId_Bron3 he has had very little to do with this story and most certainly doesn't deserve any kind of hate on this story or any of his other stories which are amazing. For the three who did enjoy this story enough to leave a like I thank you for your support and will continue to thank you. So I please ask you to continue reading this story and to add anything you would like to see happen in this story to coming up in the future.
Continue to leave your comments on to how to make the story better!
