Six Shades of Rainbow
Chapter 5: Rainbow Dash vs Rainbow Dash
Previous Chapter Next ChapterBoth Yellow RD and Purple RD searched around the clouds, but were having no luck. They were almost near Cloudsdale and now were beginning to get worried.
“Maybe she was wrong.” Yellow RD said.
“No I think she was spot on, we just need to find her.” Purple RD combed the skies again and noticed an orange dot on a white cloud.
“Aha! Found her.” Both pegasi went down after the orange speck, eventually they approached a sleeping Orange Rainbow Dash.
“Rainbow Dash, oh Rainbow Dash.” Purple RD said softly, as she nudged her.
“WAKEY WAKEY RAINBOW DASH!” Yellow RD cried out! Flinching at her outcry Orange RD rolled over and rubbed her eyes.
“What do you want? It’s not even night time yet.” She said lazily.
“Rainbow Dash, we need you to come with us. You’re needed for something.”
“I don’t wanna, sounds like work,” Orange RD said rolling back over. Yellow RD and Purple RD exchanged looks and looked back at the napping pony.
“This is serious Rainbow Dash! We need you!” Yellow RD told her.
“Just get me tomorrow, maybe.” Purple RD sighed and looked at Yellow RD, which caused her to come up with an idea.
Some how Yellow RD was still able to move with a spring in her step even now carrying the lazy orange pony on her back. Now they were in a big group, AppleJack still dragging Green RD, and Blue RD sticking right at Fluttershy’s side.
“Okay good now we need to track down the Red Rainbow Dash from earlier and we’ll have them all.” Twilight said, as she looked toward the sunset nervously as it appeared they only have a few hours left of sunlight.
“Keep your eyes out for a path of destruction anywhere,” Purple RD said to the rest of the group. She flew up in the air and looked over Ponyville and the forest as they were walking at the edge of the two.
“Anything?” AppleJack asked.
“Nope, sky’s are clear!” Purple RD called back.
“This is bad, what if we can’t find her in time? What will happen to all these other Rainbow Dashes?” Twilight questioned.
The group continued to walk along the edge of the forest, however Pinkie stopped and stared off into space. No one seemed to notice except Yellow RD who turned around and walked up to her.
“What’s the matter Pinkie, tired?”
“No…I’m getting a tingling.” Pinkie Pie’s tail twitched back and forth and then Pinkie yelled out,
“Everyone DUCK!”
The group stopped and did as they were instructed and just as they hit the dirt a Red streak flew over them causing a gust of wind to follow.
“What was that?” AppleJack RD yelled as she saw the streak pass by.
“It was Red Rainbow Dash!” Twilight said over the gust of wind. “And she’s fast!”
“Stupid Butterflies! Where’d you go? Come back here!” Red RD cried out, as she seemingly chased nothing.
“I guess when ya’ll are fueled with anger it gets yah going purdy fast.” AppleJack said as all the pony’s eyes were trained following Red RD.
“We need someone to catch her! She’ll never fall for a trick like the Green Rainbow Dash, and she won’t listen to anypony!” Twilight said.
“None of us are fast enough, even if we tried we’d never be able to catch up to her all roused up like that.” Purple RD replied.
Yellow RD watched the red blur go across the sky and threw the buildings of Ponyville and the purple ponies conversation gave her an idea.
“Wait a sec, I have an idea!” Yellow RD called out. She walked over to the net holding Green RD. “Hey Rainbow Dash!”
“What?” Green RD said with a scowl on her face.
“There are rumors going around about you!”
“Oh yeah? What about?” Green RD asked looking more intrigued.
“Do you see that Red Rainbow Dash up there?”
“Yeah?”
“Well they say that she’s the fastest in all of Ponyville and that you’d never be able to catch her!”
“Oh YEAH?” Green RD said as she stood up getting agitated.
“That’s right, but hey; if you can catch her and bring her with us, you’ll win our little scavenger hunt we have going on also.” Yellow RD whispered.
“Two victories in one! Oh I’m going to wipe the floor with you losers, just watch me!” Yellow RD turned toward Twilight and the gang motioning toward the green pony.
The group exchanged looks, and finally Twilight said with a sign “We have no other option.”
AppleJack helped Green RD out of the net and untied the rope that held her wings in place. The Green Rainbow Dash closed her eyes and stretched her wings out wide.
She popped her neck and tensed up her muscles. She dug a her hooves into the dirt and with one power flap of her wings she bolted up into the sky and took a sharp turn in the direction of the Red Streak in the distance.
The take off knocked the group backwards onto the ground and caused Blue RD to go into a nervous fit.
“I sure hope this works,” Twilight said under her breath.
Green RD was gaining fast on Red RD, quickly getting close enough to reach out and grab her hind hoof. However when Red RD saw the green pegasus trying to grab her, it only enraged her further.
“Get off of me!” She cried giving a swift kick to the face to Green RD causing her to go tumbling in another direction. Red RD sped off going faster than before.
Green Rainbow Dash recovered and rubbed her head in pain. “Oh no you don’t!” She said and flew after the Red streak. This time Green Rainbow Dash couldn’t easily catch up to her.
Red RD darted back and forth; zig zagging in the sky, pulling full loops and moves some peagsi could only dream about. From the ground the group struggled to keep watch of both ponies flying through the air, as they were only slim streams of color across the sky.
Green Rainbow Dash flapped her wings as fast as she could manage, but still Red RD stayed just out of hoofs reach. An idea popped into Green RD’s head.
“Hey Red Rainbow Dash your Dad’s calling you, he wants you home now!”
The Red Rainbow Dashed turned her head and cried out, “He’s not the boss of me! No pony is!”
Yet as she said this, it slowed her down just enough so that Green RD was able to pounce on top of her. At the ground, Twilight and her friends watched as the two peagsi went crashing to the ground in the distance.
“Come one!” Twilight yelled as the group raced over to find ground zero.
