Two months have passed since the incident, and still RD hasn't gotten back to normal. It is clear now that she never will, unless something happens that completely blows those memories out of the water. She had stopped clearing the skies above Ponyville, other pegasi were taking care of that now. All Rainbow would do was sit on a cloud or in a tree and just stare downward, a horrified look on her face. She couldn't sleep, for whenever she tried, she would just wake up screaming from horrible nightmares. Nightmares consisting of her being in Rarity's place when the black alicorn chainsawed her in half, or having diamonds impale her all over her body.

The lack of sleep along with the nightmares was driving Rainbow insane, she tried therapy to help get over the sight, hypnotism to try and get some sleep, nothing would work. The images of her friends' mangled corpses just wouldn't go away. Which led her to only one conclusion; the alicorn had planned this all along. For the images to last in Rainbow Dash's brain until either she or the alicorn were dead. Rainbow decided that the only way to rid herself of the terrible dreams and memories, she would have to return to the Everfree forest, and kill the alicorn.

Author's Notes:

Yes I kind of stole the nightmare thing from "A Rocket To Insanity" but at least I'm being honest about it! I just thought that it was a good idea, so I put it in this story... No hard feelings right?

Preparation For War

After about two hours of preparation and saying long goodbyes to Pinkie, Twilight, and Fluttershy because she knew she may never come back, Rainbow Dash was ready to go in and face the alicorn. She had brought with her photos of Applejack and Rarity, so she would remember who she was fighting for, and show the alicorn how much pain and misery she had endured.

Author's Notes:

Yet another short chapter! I'm so sorry guys! I swear the next chapter will have more excitement it it. Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.

The Final Battle

Rainbow was in the forest for two days, and still couldn't find the alicorn. But she knew that she was nearby, she just couldn't see her.

"I know you're here!" Rainbow called, "Now show yourself!"

"As you wish." The alicorn replied, jumping down from a tree and landing softly on her hooves.

The alicorn didn't look any better than the last time Rainbow had seen her. Her horn was still gone, nothing would change that, but she looked as if she were obsessing over something, but RD couldn't figure out what.

"So you finally return," the alicorn began, "do you like the nightmares? I knew that if you were going to get away I had to do something to bring you back here."

"So you ARE the reason I am having nightmares..." Rainbow accused.

"Correct, and if you want them to stop, then you will have to kill me." The alicorn confirmed.

"Good," said Rainbow Dash, now tensing up for what she knew would be a long and intense battle, "now all I have to do is succeed."

The ensuing fight was long and hard, with Rainbow using her speed and agility for hit and run attacks, and the alicorn using her superior size to try and hold Rainbow Dash down. Clop by clop, blow after blow. Both of them realized they were an equal match for each other, and that this fight was going nowhere fast. After two hours of furious fighting, both combatants were exhausted. But Rainbow Dash had just enough energy left to buck the alicorn one last time in the head. Denting her skull and crushing her brain, killing her instantly.

With the alicorn menace dead, Rainbow Dash sighed in relief and collapsed to the ground, exhausted. After catching her breath, Rainbow headed or home, oblivious to the five other pairs of eyes watching her from the trees. Rainbow was, however, relieved that the alicorn wouldn't be harming anypony else, ever again. Though Applejack's and Rarity's deaths would never be forgotten, Rainbow could finally rest knowing that their deaths, along with many others, had been avenged.

Author's Notes:

I told you so!!! Hope this was exciting for you, the next chapter will be the last.

Aftermath

When Rainbow Dash returned to Ponyville bruised and beaten, she was immediately rushed to the hospital for an examination. She turned out fine, and after about two days bed rest was out of the hospital and spreading the word about that fateful day. Pinkie, being Pinkie, wanted to know one hundred percent of everything Rainbow had experienced on that difficult day. And Rainbow didn't hold back on the details. She told everypony who would ask everything about the search for Rarity, the alicorn, discovering her friends corpses, and the insanity brought on by the nightmares. After two months, Rainbow was back to normal. She had taken back the responsibility of clearing the skies above Ponyville, and could finally sleep in peace without being bothered by nightmares. Though she would never forget what happened during those two days in the forest, she could accept that nothing would change those events, no matter how hard they tried.
