Three days earlier

Rainbow Dash continued to shot bolts at the enemy below, hundreds on each side lay dead but the battle was still fresh, a couple hundred more Canterlotians came down as fresh troops and began to begin another assault on the enemy forces. No pony had spotted Discord yet so Rainbow presumed he was just watching from his chaos realm. Laying invisible to any pony but maybe his forces. Being spawns of chaos anyway.

Rainbow Dash spotted her friends in the mist of the fight, Rarity, Twilight, Applejack and Pinkie Pie. Twilight Sparkle was constantly shooting fire into the enemy and Rarity was holding a shield a Canterlotian had taught her quickly before the battle above the group so that they weren't shot by any stray enemy bolt. Applejack was covered in blood, both her own and the enemies, her spear tip was covered in gore and blood. Pinkie had somehow managed to get her spear bloody from the fight, but was otherwise clean of mess. Rainbow Dash wondered how but then dropped it and went back to the battle.

Rainbow Dash thought the battle was going well until a fresh batch of mutant, things came over the hill, slaughtering both Canterlotians and the enemy.Rainbow Dash aimed her crossbow, which she had gotten better with. She had spotted a fairly big, red bull mutant and had aimed a bolt in its general direction. After some pause she fired.

Present day

Rainbow Dash hadn't moved from the spot in her cloud fortress, the layer of cloud was soggy and wet from tears. Her spectrum hair was miss shaped and out of place. Her leg was uncomfortable and her only movement from the past three hours was to move the leg. She shuddered a little as the blood flow returned. Rainbow Dash heard some explosions ring down below and she cuddled up into a tiny ball, front legs holding her hind legs and wings covering up as much as she could hide. Her feathers became wet from tears and she shock the cyan wings a little before curling up again. A dragon roared from somewhere and Rainbow Dash prayed the enemy hadn't found her. She prayed to anything she would live. But at what price? She wondered. It would be getting dark soon, considering everything, Celestia and Luna had kept the sun and moon cycle going pretty well. Rainbow moved a little closer to the window to look out. Below she saw fires and shots of magic or arrows in little skirmishes from any pony survivors. Most of Ponyville had gone to Canterlot and Rainbow just hoped they were safe. Tears welded up again at the thought of Fluttershy, she had no idea where she was, or even if she was still alive. Or been turned into some cruel mutant by Discord's power. Everyday his armies got bigger and the god got stronger, there were only pockets of survivors left. Not enogh to even get close to Discord.

Rainbow Dash's stomach growled, she needed more food, soon. Maybe tomorrow she would go down to the apple farm and steal some. The main worry being spotted by guards in the nearby slave camp. She had watched the camp one day a while ago, Discord's troops were bringing in some unicorns from the east somewhere and the unicorns went in one room, came out bloody, crying and horn sawn off. The same happened to some Pegasi, about one hundred went in, about twenty, wingless ones came out. Rainbow had seen enogh by about the tenth minute and ran to hate Discord even more.

A dragon roared some where in the distance and Rainbow Dash shuddered. She prayed it wouldn't notice her or her cloud. But her prayers were unanswered. The sound of flapping wings was heard above and the dragon roared again. Rainbow hoped it wasn't alerting anything, and only began to breathe once it flow away and roared a third time. It was going to get dark soon and Rainbow decided to remember some more of the last days of Equestria before bed. She wouldn't sleep, she never did.

During the last battle of Equestria.

Rainbow Dash sped down, now spear ready, the reloaded had been killed by a bolt just as Rainbow took down the huge monster thing. It was either wait as a target or fight. So Rainbow throw of her crossbow and went down to get another weapon. Rainbow spotted the other ponies in the mist of the fighting and was about to rush in.

"Rainbow Dash!" A voice shouted from above. Rainbow turned to see her yellow Pegasus friend, Fluttershy flying down.

"Fluttershy? What are you doing?" Rainbow Dash asked, confused.

"I couldn't leave my friends." Fluttershy replied, bravely ignoring the bolt as it shot across her head. Fluttershy gave a determined nod and went to arm herself, giving a squeak of fear when she thought Rainbow Dash wasn't listening. Some other archers had decided to fight to and came down to the camp, arming themselves. Fluttershy made herself ready and Rainbow and Fluttershy stood next to each other. A few other Pegasi joined the line, aiming their spears down. Rainbow looked to Fluttershy, who nodded again, then Rainbow Dash looked to the grey stallion next to her. He also nodded.

"CHARGE!!" Rainbow Dash shouted, galloping forwards, surprisingly, everypony followed her and clashed in arms with the mutant/traitors. Rainbow Dash, not looking for Fluttershy, just hoping she was there, charged forward through both friendly and enemy ranks toward her pinned friends. A roar was heard and a dragon flow down to where Rainbow had last seen Twilight and the rest. Two beams of magic, purple and white, shot up from the ground and into the dragon. Which after some time, died and crashed down onto the ground. Rainbow galloped and could just see all her friends still alive, bloody, but alive. Bolts shot past Rainbow both sides from some unknown archer, the fighting was too dense. Rainbow lost view on her friends. Fluttershy squealed loudly, when the view of Rainbows friends came back. A huge giant mutant stood over their bloodied remains.
