The land of Equestria was quite the peaceful place. Birds were chirping, colts, fillies, mares and stallions were going through their daily lives and things have been rather nice and peaceful ever since the defeat of Tirek. But to one pegasus, things were rather... Bland and boring. She was a cyan pegasus with rainbow colored hair and a rainbow tail with her Cutie Mark being that of a storm cloud with a rainbow colored lightning bolt sticking out of the storm cloud. She was the fastest pegasus in her Equestria. Her name? Her name was Rainbow Dash. As mentioned before, things were rather bland and boring for her with going through the same thing over and over again. Meeting up with her friends, doing the ocassional cloud busting and even, somewhat rarely, going on friendship missions with her friends or doing some Wonderbolt training alongside the Wonderbolts themselves. It was just the same routine over and over again, day by day, the same old, same old. But as the days went by, the cyan pegasus had hoped that this typical day by day stuff would change. That something more exciting would happen. importantly...
Meet someone that could match her love for, and possibly equal her own, speed.
But so far, that didn't seem to be happening. Ever pegasus she challenged to a race either turned her down or she managed to beat them with ease. It was just far too easy to beat the pegasi that she had challenged to a race. Speaking of the rainbow haired girl, however, she let out a small sigh as she placed her hand under her chin and looked out the window; Wearing nothing but a black tang top that revealed a small portion of her thin belly and a pair of navy blue shorts, along with a pair of black ssneakers. Rainbow Dash looked up into the night sky as she looked out her window, her bored expression unchanging as she looked up night sky and over at the stars. Though, as she looked up at the sky, the cyan pegasus just so happened to see a bright and golden glowing light sailing through the sky at rather fast speeds. Thinking that it was a shooting star, and being somewhat desperate to have things change around Equestria, the rainbow haired girl closed her eyes and wished upon the brightly glowing "shooting star" that sailed across the sky.
"I wish..." Rainbow Dash began, rather hesitant with what she was going to say, but saying it moments later. "I wish that there was something or someone that would make things cool and exciting for me and everyone else in this world..."
Of course, right after she made her wish, Rainbow Dash opened up her eyes and expected to see the shooting star that she saw already disappear. But when she opened her eyes, she saw that exact same bright golden light flying through the night sky. Though, a more accurate word would actually be falling; As the mysterious bright and golden light actually was falling towards the Everfree Forest! The cyan pegasus only watched as the light fell more and more downwards, until finally disappearing into the trees of the forest. But once the light had disappeared, a bright smile formed on the rainbow haired pegasi's face as she jumped out the window of her house and used her pegasus wings to stay flying in the air. This was her chance to see something new. Something exciting! And something that could possibly make her normal and rather boring life a lot more exciting than it was now! Not wanting to keep herself in suspense, Rainbow Dash quickly took off to the Everfree Forest, wanting to see what had crash landed right into the forest. Though, little did she know that the thing that she would encounter would be very, very dangerous...
Everfree Forest
It took Rainbow Dash just mere minutes, thanks to her natural flying speed, to easily reach the entrance of the Everfree Forest. And once she did, the cyan pegasus had managed to spot of dirt trail, like a trench of some sort, leading into the forest. A trench, that most likely was caused by the mysterious light and would most likely lead her to what had crash landed into the forest.
"Bingo..." Rainbow Dash muttered to herself as she looked towards the direction that the trail led to. "Now to find out what or who you really are."
Then without any sort of hesitation, Rainbow Dash ran into the Everfree Forest. Now, she would have actually flown into the forest, since the cyan pegasus isn't one to really use her legs when hurrying after something; But she certainly didn't want to miss the thing that fell into the forest if she ended up flying a bit too fast. Though, as she ran in the direction of the trail, the rainbow haired girl noticed that the closer she got to the thing's crash sight, the more burnt the trees and the ground were. Hell, the thing even crashed into some of the trees as it crash landed its way down into the forest. Though, in a matter of minutes, Rainbow Dash had made it to the crash sight, and boy, was it a sight to see! There was a huge crater that was about 40 feet wide and about 45 feet deep! Whatever had crashed there certainly left quite the impression in the forest's ground! And the cyan pegasus was just about to enter the crater as well, when a sudden bright and golden light rose out of the crater. In fact, it was the same golden light that the rainbow haired pegasus had seen flying across the sky nearly half an hour before! Though, when the light had faded, Rainbow Dash saw someone who was flying just a few feet off of the ground.
This someone turned out to be an anthropromorphic hedgehog with golden fur and some sort of golden aura surrounding him, quills that rose slightly upwards, and he had red eyes with some sort of red swirl in his eyes. But that wasn't all. The hedgehog seemed to be wearing a red vest, a white shirt, navy blue pants, along with white gloves and red sneakers with a single white strap and golden buckle on each sneaker. Though, the golden hedgehog's clothing was all torn and ripped in some places, as if he was in som .sort of major battle just before he had crash landed where he did. That, or the fact that him crashing into the Everfree Forest had done quite the damage to his clothing. The hedgehog, on the other hand, looked rather unharmed, as he looked around; Seemingly trying to look for someone or something before yelling out.
"If that idiotic scientist and fox boy think they got did of me that easy, th-!" The creature yelled out in a rather demonic tone, before his gaze turned over to Rainbow Dash; A sinster grin forming on the hedgehog's face as he looked over at the pegasus. "Looks like I have some fresh meat to take out... This will be fun!"
Rainbow Dash had no idea what the golden hedgehog meant by fresh meat, but when he extended his hand over at Rainbow and a golden energy ball formed in it, she realized what he had meant! The hedgehog was going to try and kill her! But there was no way that the rainbow haired girl was going out without a fight!
Cue Doomsday Zone, Project Chaos Remix
The battle between the mysterious hedgehog and Rainbow Dash started with a, literal, bang, as the hedgehog immediately fired the golden energy ball he had formed over at Rainbow Dash. The cyan pegasus immediately jumped up and managed to dodge the energy ball just in time. Though, once she had dodged it, she yelled over at the golden hedgehog.
"Hey, what's your problem!?" Rainbow Dash shouted at the mysterious hedgehog. "Is that how you thank someone who just tried to see if you were okay!?"
Though, instead of answering Rainbow Dash, another energy ball formed in the mysterious hedgehog's hand and he began firing energy ball after energy ball over at her. The cyan pegasus dodged the best that she could; she flew toward the golden hedgehog and delivered a swift punch to his gut along with a punch to the face. While it had hurt the hedgehog a small bit and caused him to end up going back a few inches, the rainbow haired girl held one of her hands in pain right after she punched the hedgehog like she did. Punching the hedgehog felt a lot like she was punching a metal wall! Whoever he was, the hedgehog must have been really strong. Though, speaking of him, after he managed to regain his balance, a sinister grin once again formed on the mysterious hedgehog's face as he looked at Rainbow Dash.
"It looks like you have some fight in you, girl." The mysterious hedgehog told Rainbow as je crossed his arms; His grin widening as he did so. "But don't think you'll win that easily! Your attacks barely did anything, and now its time I finished you off!"
Then, without warning, the mysterious hedgehog flew over at Rainbow Dash at supersonic speeds, .faster than she could ever hope to move or dodge. By the time she did notice though, it was a bit too late. The golden hedgehog grabbed the cyan pegasus by the throat and rammed her through tree after tree, until finally pinning her down into one of the stronger trees in the forest. After doing so, the hedgehog's eyes glowed just a small bit brighter as he wad preparing some sort of attack that would definetely kill the rainbow haired girl if she did do anything about it! But she was too busy trying to get out of the hedgehog's grip to even notice that he was charging up the attack that he was. Though, before he could even fire out the laser attack from his eyes that he wad going to do, the mysterious hedgehog was struck in the back by some sort of dark purple magical aura; Which hurt him quite a bit I might add. This made the mysterious hedgehog turn his attemtion away from Rainbow Dash and towards the direction of the magical aura to see who had struck him.
"Who dares attack me!?" The mysterious hedgehog screeched as he looked around for his attacker
It didn't take him very long to find out who attacked him, and once he did, an angry scowl formed on the mysterious hedgehog's face as he looked at his attacker. The one who attacked him turned out to be a purple alicorn with black hair that had dark purple highlights in her hair. The alicorn was also wearing some sort of blue shirt with a dark purple six sided star in the middle, along with wearing dark blue pants and black boots. She was the Princess of Friendship and one of Rainbow Dash's friends, Twilight Sparkle.
"That's enough from you!" Twilight cried out as she gave Rainbow just the she needed in order to get away from the mysterious hedgehog and land right down next to Rainbow Dash. "Now, I command you to leave Equestria or we shall make you by force!"
"Grrrrr... Is there no end to your fucking annoying pests!?" The golden hedgehog cried out as he grit his teeth in anger. "But I'll still kill the both of you all the same!
Then, without much if a warning, the golden hedgehog immediately shot some sort of laser blasts from both his eyes. Retaliating in kind, Twilight launches a magical laser beam at the laser blasts and the two seem to be at the stalemate for a little while. That is, until the Princess of Friendship placed her hands on her head in pain as a mysterious headache started to hurt her quite a bit and started to give the mysterious hedgehog the upper hand in their laser beam battle. Well, at least he thought he was. While the golden hedgehog was distracted with the confidence with nearly beating Twilight, Rainbow Dash just happened to sneak up next to the mysterious hedgehog and deliver a swift kick to his side; Completely catching him off guard. While the kick did hurt the cyan pegasi's foot quite a bit, it also did some damage to the golden hedgehog; Making him turn his attention to the pegasus and fire a golden energy ball right at her chest. And since she was so close to him, there was no way for the rainbow haired girl to get out of the way in time. So, she ended up getting blasted directly by the hedgehog as such a close range! Though, the attack should have actually killed her; Especially due to how close she was to the hedgehog.
But, instead of killing her, the attack, for some reason, just dazed Rainbow Dash for a few seconds before she managed to regain her footing in the air. Once seeing this, the golden hedgehog let out a low growl as he charged up another energy ball.
"I don't know how you managed to survived that last one..." The golden hedgehog spoke aloud as he charged up a much more powerful golden energy ball. "But you won't be able to survive this next one! Say good night, you annoying little... Little... ARRRRRGH!"
The golden hedgehog suddenly grabbed his head in pain, this canceling out his attack, as he placed both hands on his head as a major headache made him feel like his head was being bashed in by a large hammer! Though, this left the hedgehog in the open, and allowed Rainbow Dash to pull off the finishing blow. While the mysterious hedgehog was dealing with hid head pain, the cyan pegasus immediately flew towards him and delivered a flurry of punches of and kicks to his sides, belly and even a few to his head. Though, as she was punching the golden hedgehog, the rainbow haired pegasus felt like she was now punching another person instead of a metal wall! Though, Rainbow Dash didn't even care as she finally delivered the final blow to the mysterious hedgehog; A swift kick to the head that sent the hedgehog falling directly down into the crater that he, most likely created.
End Doomsday Zone, Project Chaos Remix
With the mysterious hedgehog defeated, Rainbow Dash let out a relieved sigh as she landed down next to Twilight; Who, during the middle of the battle, had finally stopped having the mysterious headache had gotten while using the spell to counteract the laser beam that the mysterious hedgehog was doing.
"You okay there, Twilight?" Rainbow Dash asked as she looked over at her friend. "You looked like you had a little trouble there with that... That thing.
"I'm... I'm fine, Rainbow." Twilight assured as a weak smile formed on her face. "Come on... Lets get that thing before it does anymore harm to us and others."
Rainbow Dash simply nodded in response before she and Twilight walked towards the crater and slid down it until they reached the bottom. Though, once they had reached the bottom, where they expected to see the golden hedgehog, they instead saw a mysterious blue hedgehog with his quills down and his fur less crazy than the golden hedgehog had it. Though, the only significant thing that proved that this hedgehog was once the hedgehog that was trying to kill them, was the fact that this hedgehog was wearing the exact same clothes as the other hedgehog had worn. Though, that wasn't all. Surrounding the now unconscious hedgehog, were seven multi colored gemstones that seemed to be pulsing from their natural colors to a black color every few seconds. Of course, once Rainbow Dash had taken sight of the blue hedgehog, a smug grin formed on her face as she placed her hands on her hips and spoke in a joking manner.
"Not such a tough guy, now are you?" Rainbow Dash joked as she looked at the mysterious hedgehog before she looked over at Twilight. "What should we do with him, Twilight? Lock him up somewhere where he won't hurt anyone else?"
"No." Twilight responded, catching Rainbow Dash off guard. "Lets bring him over to Fluttershy's so she can tend to her wounds. And then get the others."
"What!?" Rainbow Dash screamed as she heard what Twilight said. "Twilight, are you fucking CRAZY!? That thing nearly tried to kill the both of us! And now you want to bring it to Fluttershy's and get the others so it can kill us all!?"
"Rainbow, you have to trust me on this." Twilight told Rainbow Dash as she looked directly at her. "I'll grab him and you grab the emeralds, okay?"
Rainbow Dash was about to retaliate, but she had to trust Twilight. Since they had no idea what to with the unconscious hedgehog, the best thing to do is what Twilight said to do. So, with an annoyed sigh, the cyan pegasus picked up the mysterious gems while the purple alicorn used her magic to pick up the unconscious hedgehog. With both the mysterious gems and the mysterious hedgehog in hand, the rainbow haired girl and black haired girl headed to Fluttershy's cottage; The rainbow haired girl secretly hoping that the Princess of Friendship knew what she was doing with bringing the mysterious hedgehog with them.
