Twilight ran through the streets of Ponyville, towards Dash’s house, where a lot of ponies were gathered around it. She ran to the front of the house, to find the remains of the mane six staring at a note taped onto the door. “What is it?” Twilight asked as she shoved her way to the front, where all her friends were. But she got her answer as soon as she saw the note scribbled on the paper.

Goodbye,

I’m going to kill those that killed AJ.

-Rainbow Dash

Twilight looked at it in shock; there was a drip of blood on the side of it. “Wha…what happened?” the unicorn asked, looking at her friends. They didn’t say anything, Why is there blood on it? Celestia dammit, answer me! She turned to Big Mac “What happened?” she demanded. Big Mac looked up and said “I have no idea, Miss Sparkle. We only told them about AJ’s death, we didn’t say it was Dash that-” his words were cut short as Applebloom interrupted “She killed AJ; she stood and watched her die! So I had to tell everypony about what she did”

Dash looked around her; she was in a dark room of some sort. There were pink droplets of fluid on the ground; she didn’t know what it was. But she heard footsteps coming out from somewhere, she turned towards it “Come outta there! I’m not afraid of you!” She shouted at it defiantly, the footsteps stopped, and she heard a deep, rasping voice come from the thing. “You killed her, now it will haunt you…”

“Who the hay are you?!” shouted Rainbow. But suddenly she heard Applebloom’s voice inside her mind, shouting at her. How could you?! She was your closest friend! Those voices were followed by others, some she recognized, some she didn’t. She recognized Twilight’s voice, and also Applejack’s voice; all were yelling at her and screaming abuse. The words spoken by Applebloom rung repeatedly in her head. How could you?! She was your closest friend!

Rainbow Dash woke with a start, she curled up into a corner, her back impacting on the rock behind her. Her head darting around, but all she can hear nothing, all was normal around her. Celestia’s sun is slowly descending to the west. She began to weep quietly; the words that were so loud only a while ago were now distant echoes. But she will never forget the tone used by Applebloom, and what she said, it was all stuck in her head.

“You what?!” shouted Twilight “You told everyone that?!”  Despite the unicorn’s shouting, Applebloom kept a straight face and said defiantly “She watched my sister die! I had t-”

“Don’t say anything if you don’t know the true story, Dash was held down by-” said Big Mac loudly “Yeah take her side, will ya!” said Applebloom, interrupting her elder brother “You’re just taking her side because she’s your friend!” As she said this, she ran away, leaving a stunned stallion standing. They have already lost one member of the Mane Six, while another member simply walked off.

Rainbow Dash walked on, she had only walked for two hours, but to her it looked like it had been a year. She didn’t bring any provisions, Applejack had given her their share of the gold and silver taels, and she had them in her bag. She walked for what seemed like another year, and she finally found herself at the gate of the Lu Kingdom. The way these foreign ponies operate are very different compared to Equestrian’s. Unlike Equestria, they’re not a united nation. They constantly do battle with each other in a struggle for power, it’s not a peaceful community, and it’s basically a living hell. But right now Ponyville is basically a living hell as well, on the six hundred and sixty sixth level of hell. She entered the gates leading to the kingdom. She hoped that she will find somepony that can speak English and teach her how to fight.

A lot of the ponies living there gave her the “Who the hay’re you?” look, although they probably don’t use the word “hay” over in this foreign place. One of them was looking particularly at her and she said to him “What’re you looking at? Never seen a foreigner before?” He didn’t know what she said, but he can tell from the tone of her voice that she was making a threat to him or something “Ni suo se me ya?! Ni yow da wo ma?!” he shouted at her. Dash looked at him; she didn’t understand a word of what he said. So she simply backed away and said “Sorry, I don’t want any trouble”

“Ni shuo se me “sorry” ah? Gei wo da!” he shouted. Dash didn’t know what to expect as two males jumped on her and started kicking and punching her. “Eh, bu yow zhai da le!, stop fighting now!” shouted a elderly stallion, emerging from his shop “Chu si ba ni zhei ge low tou!, go fuck yourself, you old fart!” shouted one of the males attacking Dash and shoved him away. Another elderly man stood up and started advancing on the group attacking Dash, and spoke in Chinese “Stop fighting, Confucius said fighting never solved anything” The blows on Dash eventually stopped. And they advanced on the old man. She had already taken enough blows, and her vision was blurry, the wound on her head had opened again. She watched from the ground as the elder man took down each and every one of the stallions attacking Dash. After that, Dash’s world blacked out.

She awoke on the ground, her head resting on a pillow and a blanket over her. She walked over to the door to go outside, but found the elderly man. “Oh, you’re awake” said the elderly man in broken English. But he has spoken Chinese for almost his whole life, so it should be considered pretty well. “Thanks for saving me, uhh….”

“Pu Yi, you may call me Shifu”

“Oh, uhhh….. Ok.” Said Dash. “Have you heard of the Long Clan?”

“Yes, they ruthless assassins”

“Why is they’re clan called Long?”

“Long mean dragon in duh Chinee language” Dash looked at him, she thought about explaining her story to this elderly man “There’s something I kinda wanna ask you about” said Dash “Go ahead, always like good story” Dash didn’t explain about her love for a another mare and referred to Applejack as “the friend”. She described about the delivery and how the Long Clan got them back and now she wanted revenge. The master nodded his agreement and said “I will teach duh kung fu you for two year, that enough for you to master sword and hand movement” Dash couldn’t believe it, she was finally going to get revenge on the people that killed Applejack. “We start training tomorrow”
