Gamma Ponies

The team up part 1

“Trixie killed us?” Everypony asked Rarity in unison. Rarity nodded.

“That makes sense to an extent. She has intent and the means to frame her nemesis, me. Did she kill everybody in Ponyville as well?” Twilight asked Rarity.

“She did, but not one at a time. She detonated a gamma bomb that was planted in Ponyville's square. I recommend to not leave Ponyville as the outside is rather irradiated. Ponyville however seems rather untouched by the blast.” Rarity answered. “I saved some of the information I have on this via tape recorder. If you wish to question the validity of my statements.” Rarity pulled out a reel-to-reel tape recorder with her horn and dropped it onto the ground gently. The five ponies looked at their friends. They were still some holes in her story.

“How do you know all of this? Weren't y’all killed like the rest of us?” Applejack asked.

“You would think so but no. I was captured and tortured.” Rarity answered. “Trixie wanted a witness to Twilight's descent into madness which never happened thankfully. She also wanted a witness to the coming of Discord via something called the Elements of Chaos. Twilight, as a researcher and a scholar I want you to look these up.” Twilight nodded, hiding the fact she knew more than what her friends thought she did.

“How did you escape?” Rainbow Dash asked still skeptical.

“How are any of you alive?” Rarity asked. “I mean I saw you all die.”

“Fair enough.” Dash replied. “Looks like you are cleared of all charges Twilight I should've known you wouldn't kill us.”

“Now...the question is...where do we go from here?” Fluttershy asked.

“Simple we fix this, meet me here in two hours. Arm up, pack up and kiss your loved ones goodbye. We're going out and settling this.” Twilight Sparkle answered. “This is not only personal for me, but for us. Trixie made you all go from my friends to my foes. Thinking that I destroyed your lives and eventually taken them. As a final jest she detonated a bomb and irradiated the entire wilderness. This means war.”

“Um, Twilight what is it good for?” Fluttershy asked.

“Definitely something.” Pinkie Pie said grinning ear to ear as she suddenly wore a kilt, eye patch and bandolier of Leiter Blücher soup cans. In her hooves was a crude rocket launcher made from pipes, mismatched handles and a filter held together with bolts and electrical tape. A colander was attached to the end as a makeshift exhaust port. “The only thing better than pranking a pony with a high sucrose, high velocity confectionery launcher? Pranking a pony with a high sucrose, high velocity confectionery launcher that I MADE!” She cackled.

“Not yet Pinkie Pie, the other ponies must meet us at the marketplace in two hours.” Twilight said smirking. With that everybody departed for their homes to say good bye to their next of kin and gearing up for the adventure ahead of them.

Twilight Sparkle headed back to her home and saw Spike sleeping, she frowned and started packing necessary supplies such as foodstuffs and a lantern. She then looked at the box that Shining Armor gave her when she left to Ponyville, he told her to open it whenever she or Ponyville were threatened. “This is a good time as any.” Twilight said as she opened it with her horn. In the box was a long, ornately carved rifle with a small circular sight attached to a long rod, secured with golden straps. It has a curved stock with a golden recoil pad with Shining Armor's cutie mark on it. However once Twilight touched it the cutie mark became hers. She felt as if she used it or saw it being used even though this was new to her.

She realized that this was the rifle of her ancestor, Twilight Twinkle. She looked at Spike and shed a tear. He slept so peaceful, blissfully unaware of what happened and the fact Twilight will be leaving Ponyville to fight The Great, Powerful and Evil Trixie. She kissed his cheek. “Wish I could tell you everything but Equestria needs to be saved.” With that she trotted away towards the marketplace.

Rainbow Dash was up in Cloudsdale, crowded around by her at the bar Cloud Nine where they were swallowing goldfish. “Is it true you're gonna save all of Equestria Rainbow?” Serenity asked handing Rainbow Dash another goldfish.

“Honestly I can do it all by myself,” Rainbow Dash answered, she smiled and added to her boast. “I can even do it drunk.”

“YEAH!!!” Yelled Snowflake as he flexed his muscles and slid a mug of whisky to her.

“Cheers mate.” Rainbow Dash said as she took a swig of the whisky. The other pegasi started chanting “Chug.” And Rainbow Dash did. “Gimme another round.” Rainbow Dash burped. Opal Water obliged her and slid her a flagon of brandy and Rainbow Dash chugged that too. She motioned for another round. As the glass slid towards her it was blocked by a familiar hoof. It was Soarin of the Wonderbolts, standing next to him was Spitfire.

“This ends here Rainbow Dash.” Soarin said almost booming in authority. The other pegasi scattered, intimidated by his no-nonsense tone. Rainbow Dash, being rather drunk was rather angry at the intervention of her idols.

“I'll foight ya for the glory to ketchup and lick her. Her being... something.” Rainbow Dash slurred. She then slumped over and passed out. Soarin motioned to Spitfire to carry Rainbow Dash out and give her what Rainbow Dash's mother, Firefly wanted to pass down to Rainbow Dash. Spitfire pulled out some smelling salts and that awoke Rainbow Dash instantly.

“Fleetfoot, send the H&K MP5 to Fluttershy for safety. I don't want Rainbow Dash to kill herself due to drunken handling of her mother's weapon.” Soarin ordered. Him and Spitfire pulled out a Wonderbolts outfit and helped her put it on. “You are officially a Wonderbolt.” With these words Rainbow Dash snapped out of her drunken stupor.

“Are you serious?” Rainbow Dash asked grovelling. Soarin nodded. “Oh my gosh I am so ready for this!” With that, Rainbow Dash made a Sonic Rainboom and zoomed for the meeting place for her friends.

“What about the info about Firefly? Shall I go after her?” Spitfire asked Soarin.

“No, she will find out in due time. May Celestia guide her to victory against this menace.” Soarin answered.

Well, this sure looks promising! Can't wait for the next chapter.

A few points, tho... I were you, I would add a little more background info; just... like more description of the setting/what their doing... that kind of stuff. I know, as a fellow author, that writing all that description can be tedious and makes you feel like it goes on and on forever, but when you read it, it gives a better effect.

Otherwise, you're gud to go! Keep up the good work.

And also... First comment!!!
