Discord was leading the pack, Gilda was second, followed by the Diamond Dogs, the Elements, Iron Will, the Flim Flam brothers, and the Pies in the back. They were making swift turns, the tires screeching and skid marks showing on the pavement. "We are so far behind!" Twilight shouted, still trying to focus on the road, "We need to do something!"
"Ah'm on it!" Applejack shouted, holding up her shotgun and taking aim at the Diamond Dog's tires, trying to focus on them. "Slow down Twi! I can't get a clear shot!"
"I would if I could, but I'd really rather not lose! Just do your best!"
Applejack sighed and took aim again, shooting and hoping for the best. The bullet going at blinding speeds, heading for the general area of the tires.
The bullet barely made contact with the tire, poking a very small hole as the car rocked, slowing down, the dogs pounding on the car, "Darn work horses!" they shouted, "How dare they get in our way!?" The girls passed them, laughing loudly, except Fluttershy, she was saying sorry, getting farther ahead, the other cars passing them, the Pie's buggy chugging along.
"Diamond Dogs are out of the race!" Mayor Mare shouted into the loud speaker.
--------------------------------------------------------
Discord shook his head, "Oh that's a shame, we already lost one... Oh well, this is only the first race and they will be back, these dogs are a persistent bunch," he said. He looked back and saw Gilda speeding up, a dirt cloud behind her, a giant fan on the back to kick up the dirt even more as a smokescreen. "Clever girl," he said, "she will be a valuable asset on this team...."
Suddenly, Gilda passed Discord, going even faster, "You're going to have to do better than that dweeb! This is a race and I plan on winning!" she laughed, flipping him off.
Discord began to cough due to the dust cloud behind her, dust getting in his lungs. "Although, she is very, very rude... I suppose I have to do something about this," he tsked, snapping his fingers, a cotton candy cloud appearing over her head, lightning flashing from and going all around it, "That should do the trick." he grinned, laughing out loud.
Gilda looked up and saw this, laughing out loud, "You're pathetic if that's all you have!" she said, flipping a switch as the fan on the back of her car rose up and pushed the cloud back with the wind. The cloud went off at just the right time, electrocuting Discord as her stopped short, the car incapable of running after that shot.
"Well then, I'm glad I never have to race her again... I hope she's glad I'm going easy on them this time," he said.
"Discord is out!" Mayor Mare shouted.
--------------------------------------------------------
Iron Will went faster and faster, trying to catch up on the girls, "Iron Will will not lose this race!" he said.
"Oh I'd beg to differ!" a sly, conniving voice said, coming from the road right next to him.
"I would say that this race is ours!" another voice said, same method of speech only a bit deeper.
Iron Will turned his head and saw the brothers, lounging in their couch as the Super Racer Speedy 7000 drove itself, "I see, you'll be worthy adversaries, but you'll never oppose the might of Iron Will!"
"Heh, you keep telling yourself that," Flim said, pressing a button, a loud rumble eminating from the back of the car.
"However, soon you'll see!" Flam said, pressing a button, the sound of something rolling being heard.
"That we will be the the victors!" they said at the same time, pressing another button, a large boom being heard, Iron Will's car getting hit by something hard, flipping over and landing on the roof. He looked over and saw a cannon on the back of their car.
"When did that...?" he asked himself before he passed out.
"Iron Will is out of the race!" Mayor Mare called out.
--------------------------------------------------------
The girls were going as fast as possible to get past the speeding Gilda, coughing through the dust storm. Twilight did her best to see through it to know when to turn. The dust cloud was ruining Rarity's dress and she got angry. Incredibly angry. She waved her hand and summoned a great wind to blow the dust away, giving the girls a clear view and even cleaning Rarity's dress. "Dust, ugh. How dare that ruffian use such a dirty tactic?" she asked coyly.
"Thanks Rarity," Twilight said, going even faster while she had the chance, turning the corner while the car turned sideways, stopping and blasting forward. "We're going to win this race!" she called.
Pinkie Pie reached into her magic bag of everything and pulling out a booster periferal and attaching it to the car, pressing the ignition as a fire jet burst out from it, causing the car to go uncontrolably fast. "WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" she called, her screech so loud and so piercing, Gilda could hear it from half a mile away. She turned and gasped, activating even more fans to blow more dust and even go faster.
Rarity used the wind to keep moving the dust away as Pinkie pressed the ignition non-stop, "We're gonna win! We're gonna win!" Dash called out, seeing them get closer and closer to Gilda, the finish line a mile away. Gilda didn't give up however, breaking off one of the useless fans and throwing it back as a road block. Dash grinned, "Not on my watch!" she yelled, getting on the front of the car, holding a giant board she got from Pinkie's bag and threw it on the roadblock, creating a ramp.
The car went off the ramp, getting high in the air, Fluttershy screaming loudly. They landed just in time for the last corner, almost neck and neck with Gilda. AJ kept firing bullets at her car to try and stop it only for them to not be in effect. Pinkie had nothing left really, Twilight was too busy with the steering and Rarity was too tired to do anything, Dash really couldn't do anything, and Fluttershy couldn't stop screaming. Angel, who was still in the car turned to Gummy and they nodded, jumping over to the other car, getting on top of Gilda, crawling all around her.
"Hey! You dirty filthy animals! Get off of me!" she shouted. Gummy bit her hair and Angel bounced on her face, blinding her, forcing her to hit one of the hay stacks and stopping her instantly, Angel giving a thumbs up at the girls and Gummy just blinking.
"That's a good boy Angel!" Fluttershy said, regaining her composure, Pinkie Pie cheering Gummy on. Gilda was out, the only possible winner left were the girls. Mayor Mare didn't even call it out as they passed the finish line, Twilight slamming on the brakes with a screeching halt, Pinkie flying off the back.
Pinkie just giggled with her face in the dirt as Celestia appeared out of no where shaking their hands, "Congratulations girls, you've won. Ponyville is safe," she said.
Discord appeared next to her, "Laugh while you can girls, this is just one race, there will be more to come," he said, cackling loudly, disappearing in a puff of smoke.
After Discord left, the Flim Flam brothers followed, stopping right behind the girls, the buggy right behind it. "Well, looks like we won second... Again," Flim said.
"Why yes, that appears to be so!" Flam said, "Oh well, we don't have to clean up."
"We'll be at the villains base if you need us!" Flim said, pressing a button and teleporting away, the Super Racer Speedy 7000 going with them.
The Pie's buggy was right behind them, teleporting away with out a word. Pinkie wanted to say something but couldn't. Gilda didn't come back, Angel and Gummy going back to their owners. Iron Will didn't come back either, he was still unconcious. A medical crew came up to him and helped him awake, taking him to the hospital with a bad concussion. He wouldn't be racing for a while.
Celestia looked at the girls, "You girls go rest now, the next race will be in the next town over, Fillydelphia. Upon discussing with Discord, the racer will be Pinkie's family.... Please choose your racer to go against them and I will see you girls tomorrow."
The girls nodded and before they even began to discuss the racer, Pinkie spoke up, "I'll do it... I have to do it, it's my family after all," she said.
"Are you sure...?" Twilight asked, "I know you feel you have to, but if I ever had to race my brother or my parents, I could never do it...."
"No Twilight, I have to do this, I need to know why and the only way they will tell me is if I win," she said determinedly.
"If you say so...," Twilight said, "What do you girls think?"
The other girls nodded, they understood completely. "Ok, Pinkie, it's your race...," Twilight said.
Pinkie nodded and walked home, going past the Diamond Dogs, cleaning up the town. When she got to Sugar Cube Corner, going into her room, she collapsed on her bed and began to cry.
Thanks for using my title suggestion.
Also I look forward to Pinkie Pie getting some answers out of her family.
1510451
It was genius! And she will, trust me.
1510459 One way or another the Pies are going to talk, even if they don't FEEL like it. (Not implying anything)
1510475
Lol, it'll be a mix of them wanting to talk and not.
1510206 Well it doesn't need to be turtle shells. Pinkie could throw Gummy or Pound and Pumpkin, and Applejack could probably throw some apple pies/regular apples on the road to slip up other drivers... just an idea.
1510657
I hope you read the latest chapter because something similar to that happened. It was the best part of the chapter.
1510663 I plan to! However I've been gone for two days and have a whole bunch of updates to get to.
1510667
Well of course ^^ I understand completely.
I read it. Awesome chapter!
This gives me some ideas. Is it at all possible that I could write a guest chapter in the future?
1510207
Equestria Insanity 500 (Like you said, Discord's version of Mario Kart in Equestria.)
1510707
OF COURSE!
1511073
Oh, I see.
1510657 Why would she throw the twins, they could get hurt and I guarntee The Cakes wouldn't like that!
1510519 Well whatever their reason for racing is it better be good or *makes slashing noise while stroking finger across chin*!
1511643
It'll be sadish.
1511688 I just hope it was something they felt they had to do and not something that they could have prevented, I'm still sticking to my theory that Discord's blackmailed them into racing with him so he won't kill Pinkie Pie and they don't want to take the chance that they'll lose their daughter before they have a chance to patch things up.
1511643 Pssh... good point.
This story is a stinking pile of shit! And guess what? I DON'T CARE! Why? CAUSE ITS FUCKING AWESOME!!!
WRITE MORE I SAY! MOAR!!!
1513590 It's common sense you know.
1515556 I wouldn't call it common sense... there are plenty of reasons to throw a baby!
1515642 I'm afraid to ask what kind of reasons would justify such a thing, besides why throw babies when can you use magic?
1515694 But I thought that Twily and Rar's couldn't use magic, considering this is a humanized fic.
Also, throwing a baby has a small chance of teaching it how to fly.
1515727 I'm talking about Pinkie Pie using her magic of pulling things out of thin air, or Twilight casting spells.
Also that's not a good reason, that's child abuse.
1515755 I see...
1515776 You'd better!
1515727
Uh... I've used magic... Multiple times in this.
1521617 Aaaaah.
1524967
I mean, there was the wind magic and Twilight drives the car via magic.
Oh good lord I'm stupid. I was half way done with chapter 4 and I didn't save... UGH! How stupid can one get?
