"Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Spike, Derpy.-" The list went on, Rainbow Dash sat in her dark cloud castle hiding from the traitors attacking Ponyville, again. Rainbow Dash had written the names down of all her pony friends who had fallen to the traitors, the ponies, or turned ponies down on the ground were dedicated followers of the returned god, Discord, he had escaped from his mental prison about a month after the Changling attack and had been gathering allies for his revenge since, now the twisted, dark ponies were roaming through Equestria freely, nopony with the strength to destroy the horde. Somehow Discord had gathered hundreds of Celestia hating ponies and then twisted their looks and minds. Rainbow Dash and her friends had once tried to fight Discord's army, it was then that the first had died.

"Girls, you all know of Discord's return and his army of, ponies. Almost ponies, are on the march,Celestia has sent down a group of warrior Pegasi to deal with them and has asked us to help, from our experience with the Changlings. Fluttershy, as you are experienced with calm, quiet animals, go into town and get as many ponies out of there as possible. If we fail it's up to you to get those ponies out. Go Fluttershy!" Twilight ordered "Rest of you, lets go, this is for Equestria!" The rest of the group had moved of to the border between Ponyville and Canterlot lands, where there was a big expanse of land. The Canterlot defenders were all holding spears in their saddles so were fairly armed. Some Pegasi had crossbows ready and the Rainbow Dash and the rest were given Canterlotian armour and also some weapons. Rainbow Dash flow up with the other Pegasi and readied the crossbow, before realizing she had no idea how to use one. Rainbow watched the other pony archers and just more or less copied them.

"Twilight! Get Shinig Armor's sheild up! Use it to cover anypony in case these corrupt ponies have crossbows as well!" Rarity shouted, no really needing to. Rainbow Dash saw a purple orb flare up around the ground troops, there were some cheers, then the enemy were in sight.

Rainbow Dash began to sob in her cloud fortress and curled into a ball as she remembered her friends. That was all Twilight had asked. For Rainbow to keep remembering the fallen. Rainbow's leg had a great scar on it that still hurt. Rainbow Dash felt the tears flow down her face and looked into the mirror that now lay fallen on the floor, it had come of the wall the third time Discord had bombarded Ponyville with explosive magic. There was a crack down the middle but Rainbow Dash saw herself clearly. Her eyes were red and wet, her whole face had tear marks and cuts on it. Rainbow, as well as the cut had also sprained her leg and was limping around badly. But to limp Rainbow Dash had to get up of the cloud floor. Which she had no strength to do. She hasn't eaten much since her friends deaths and was never hungry, she was a smart Pegasus, well, average smart, and knew she had to eat and drink, just couldn't find the strength in her anymore. Her closest friends, and more had died whilst Rainbow Dash had lived. Fate is cruel. Rainbow Dash decided to remember the good times. When they met and defeated Nightmare Moon, when they all learnt to be Elements of Harmony, when they went to the Grand Galloping Gala, when they had picnics and parties, when they kicked the dragon out of Equestria. All of that and more, Rainbow's memories went on for a long time before she began to sob again.

"Come on Rainbow, crying. Crying isn't for the best flyer in all of Equestria, toughen up." Rainbow stuttered to herself.

She hated everything about her survival, how she was the only survivor. Canterlot hadn't sent anymore warriors down, apparently one of Discord's allies, the dragons of the east were beginning a seige on Canterlot, or at least that's what Rainbow heard. Rainbow figured she was probably the last 'normal' pony in Ponyville. The rest being the corrupt or dead. Nopony had seen Discord since his escape, well, nopony but his followers. Celestia had sent letters to Rainbow, but they had long since stopped. The last letter Rainbow Dash had received almost a month ago from the princess only said one thing; 'Equestria has fallen, run Rainbow.' Rainbow Dash hadn't ran, no matter what her feelings of running were, she lived in Ponyville, thus there she stayed. If the traitors ever did find her then she would go down fighting, like the rest of her friends had. Rainbow had a saddle-spear ready and had vowed to take down as many of the traitors as possible before she fell.

"Come on Rainbow, remember everything." She said and found herself at the day of the battle again.

The enemy had cascaded over the grassy hill, their presence enogh to actually kill the grennary as they ran. Crossbow bolts flared as did some destructive magic, some of the horde fell, but hundreds were still coming. Rainbow saw for the first time how outnumbered the defenders actually were. Crossbow bolts flared and magical spells of fire and death ehot out from the few unicorns down on the ground. Rainbow Dash shot her own crossbow, before a brown Pegasus with an arrow cutie mark, the bolt replacer, Rainbow presumed, placed another bolt in the mechanism, cocking the string back for Rainbow to shot again, a lot of the traitors fell and the royals and Rainbows friends had now began their own charge, but hundreds of the Discord ponies were still coming. Rainbow looked over to Fluttershy, barely keeping up her wings to fly and her crossbow still loaded from when she was given it, Rainbow Dash watched her yellow friend shiver and let out some urine.

"Fluttershy, come on. There not even ponies anymore." Rainbow called over to the very red faced Fluttershy, her pee had fallen down and landed on one of the unicorn barrage foot soldier, Rainbow would have laughed, if it were on better terms. Fluttershy continued to shiver and squeal a lot. Rainbow Dash turned around and shot her crossbow bolt at the enemy. Killing another.

Rainbow Dash had wrote down how many she had killed on one of the few pieces of parch she had. Eighteen, the cyan/rainbow weather Pegasus had managed to kill eighteen once normal ponies. She hated herself for it, she should have gotten herself and the others out of Ponyville as soon as the invasion was sounded. But she hadn't and was now sitting in the dark, alone. She cried again, not for her friends, for her own stupidity.

"Rainbow Dash. What have I done?" She said aloud. She knew none of it was actually her fault but felt that she could have changed the past some how so that her friends were still alive, even if it meant her own death in return. Loyalty. The last Element of Harmony, all alone, nopony to be loyal to. Pointless existence.

Rainbow Dash cried, the traitor ponies burned and slaughtered. Equestria was dead, long since dead.
