The next day, Rainbow and Twilight were at the Ponyville Train Station, waiting for the next train to arrive. They've seen Starlight, but they did their best to pretend they didn't even see her. Did Starlight see them? Nope. So it wasn't really that hard to get on the train. Twilight brought one suitcase and Rainbow brought two, the other one having the colors gold and red all over it, like the Iron Mare suit. Twilight looked at it with a curious look on her face. "Is that..?" "Yep. It's that." Rainbow said.
The train has finally arrived after 10 minutes. They walked in and sat to the door closest to the exit. "Okay, why are we going to Canterlot anyways?" "Pinkie told us to go there. She can see through the fabric of time and space, right?" Rainbow asked, holding the Iron Mare suit close. "Right.." Twilight said, nodding. Rainbow looked around and it seemed Starlight was on a different part of the train. 'Darnit..' Rainbow Dash muttered. This was going to be a long train ride. Rainbow Dash closed her eyes, as she took a nap for the rest of the trip.
~One and a Half Hours Later~
Rainbow's eyes slowly fluttered open, looking outside. They have only arrived in Canterlot and thankfully, the Iron Mare suit suitcase was still with her. "We're here.." Twilight said, standing up and trotting outside. Rainbow stayed there in her seat for a few moments before standing up and started following Twilight. Rainbow looked around and then there she was, Starlight.
"Hey Twilight, check that out.." Rainbow said, tapping Twilight's shoulder. "Hmm? What is it?" Twilight said, turning her head and seeing Starlight. "Oh it's her.. quick question, did Pinkie tell you anything else?" "Nothing, but-" Then the zipper popped out of nowhere, Pinkie coming out of it. "Rainbow!" "Pinkie? What the hay?" Rainbow asked, obviously confused. "Um.. Rainbow? Who are you talking to? Hello?" Twilight asked, waving her hoof in front of Rainbow's face but Rainbow didn't even respond as she looked down at the zipper in the ground.
"Starlight is heading to the castle place where Princess Celestia is and since Princess Luna isn't there, it's going to be hard! Now if you don't succeed, everypony will be doomed.." Pinkie said as she disappeared into the zipper as it closed slowly. ".. Twilight?" "Yes, Rainbow?" Twilight asked. "We're going to Canterlot Castle." Rainbow said, feeling a little tense. She didn't want Equestria to get messed up. "Alright, whatever you say." Twilight said, nodding her head.
As Rainbow and Twilight were walking, Rainbow looked around with the Iron Mare suit suitcase in her hooves at the mares and colts shopping, the fillies and colts playing together, everything. If she didn't succeed, all of this would not be happening. They looked around when suddenly, they heard a giant explosion coming from the direction of the castle. "Twilight.." "Yup. I know. Lets go!" Twilight said as they started running forward.
As they arrived, they saw all the guards wiped out, the castle ruined and Starlight and Celestia having a battle. "You, Starlight Secret, will never have Equestria!" Said Celestia, with a tone of anger. Rainbow then suddenly stepped on the suitcase as it attached to her body, and finally, the mask went onto her face. Celestia's head turned as she saw Twilight and the Iron Mare. "Twilight!" Celestia screamed out as Starlight shot a beam at Celestia, knocking her down.
"Princess, I think you're calling the wrong name.." Rainbow said as she raised both her hooves and shot at Starlight. Starlight moved out of the way in an instant, getting a slight burn in her hair. "Pathetic.." Starlight said, smirking. Twilight looked up at Starlight and said, "Looks like someone was training too.." "She's gotten pretty darn faster." Rainbow said, as Starlight ran out right behind them.
"... Twilight. Care for the princess, I'll go after Starlight." Twilight nodded as she ran up to the side of Celestia, sitting next to her. "T-Twilight.." Celestia said. "The blast has left me weak, and I need assistance.." Twilight then rubbed the wound. "This looks bad.." She said as her horn lit and she sticked it onto the wound, letting it heal even a little bit. "Thank you, now may I ask who that was with you? Can she really save Equestria?" Celestia asked. Twilight's eyes then made a small spark.
"Her name is the Iron Mare, and she will defeat Starlight once and for all!"
