Chapter 4 act 1: History in the making
Just to tell you all from this point on I will be using a different program so it may look different. Thanks for everything guys, and sorry for taking so long school and writers block got in the way. (Unedited will be edited during full release)
Rainbow woke up and rubbed her eyes as the sun came in through the window. She groaned as she got up "What a night!" She said to herself Rainbow expected to be shushed by Fluttershy but she wasn't in the bed with her. Rainbow looked over where she should be the slept she slept in still had some rainbow. Rainbow rolled over on that side of the bed then stretched out. Then she noticed something she could barely see the tip of her horn. She stretched out her wings and bumped a bottle on the nightstand. "I guess its true when they say ponies grow in there sleep." She suddenly remembered she had knocked over the bottle and she faced it on the table was a half empty bottle of wine with a wine glass about a quarter full. She picked up the glass and drank a bit then noticed there was a note stuck to the bottom. She picked it off then put the glass back down. She just kept think how weird this day had been so far as she opened the note. On the top it had a little heart then read.
"Rainbow I'm going to Cloudsdale today, don't worry about me I'll be fine I just thought I should take care of a few loose ends, and I promise its not anything like last night I just wanted to show my parents who I've become. Sincerely: Fluttershy
P.S. Go see Zecora I think somethings wrong with you since you didn't feel any pain with your last growth. She wont tell anyone about your visit I promise."
On the end of the note was another little heart, Rainbow smiled then got up "Well this is going to be different!" she said happily as she walk towards her bedroom door, she stopped and looked at herself she had some blood on her from her growth. "Though maybe I should take a shower first." she giggled.
Meanwhile at Cloudsdale
Fluttershy put her hoof down ever so softly in front of her parents home. When she had fallen off the cloud that one day she hadn't been back here. It was in pristine condition when she fell now it was a little more than a run down shack. Most of the windows were sealed up and the front had a lot of unmarked bottles on it. Fluttershy took a deep breathe then walked up to the door when she was there she smiled then knocked. At first there was no reply so she knocked again this time the door flew open and a red pegasus opened the door. "Mom?" Fluttershy asked uncertainly. The red pegasus frowned.
"Herald its for you!" she yelled inside the house ahw looked back towards Fluttershy "So... he did get with the Princess then huh?" she asked rudely.
Fluttershy stood there and looked at her funny "Well actually-" she was cut off by another pegasus pushing the red one out of the way lazily.
"I promise I'll have the bits next week!" He fell to his knees bowing "I just thought it would work!" he slowly opened his eye.
"Dad?" Fluttershy asked sheepishly.
Suddenly the man jumped up "FLUTTERSHY!" he yelled "I thought I'd never see you again!" he took a step back and examined his daughter. "you've grown since the great cloud race!" Fluttershy smiled then frowned.
"Wheres mom?" her father looked towards his hooves.
"S- she passed almost a week ago." he said solemnly Fluttershy just stood there her expression not changing. "She said she was sorry for something." Fluttershy smiled then started walking away from the house and her crying father. "Fluttershy, wait!" her father cried from the door step. She stopped "Why aren't you shocked?" Fluttershy turned around
"A song from the midnight told me my most hated would die soon." Her father stared in awe and began to ask why "She taught me how to hate everything about myself... BUT NOW I'VE GOT MY NEW BODY AND SHE CANT HAVE IT!" Fluttershy suddenly yelled starting to cry. When she said that her father stopped crying and realized what happened he just bowed his head understanding.
"Honey I- I wish you told me... I- I'm sorry." he began to cry again Fluttershy just turned around and started walking away from the home I guess I'm glad it went that way she thought to herself.
Half and hour later Cloudsdale weather factories
Fluttershy wiped away the last of her tears and looked up. She had apparently walked to the rainbow factory and not even noticed. She walked up to the guard at the door. "Fluttershy?" A familiar voice said underneath the white helmet she looked over and frowned. "It's me Billy!" He lifted the helmet to revel his white mane and blue eyes. "Remember flight school?" Fluttershy nodded "What happened to you?" Fluttershy just ignored him and began to walk in. Billy stopped her with his wing like a royal guard. "Sorry Fluttercry no ones allowed in." just the mention of her old nickname infuriated her but she hid it.
"Why?" she asked in her normal tone.
"Both princess's are here today and the boss want this to go off without a hitch." he said lowering his wing knowing he won. Fluttershy nodded and walked away then turned the corner around the factory she looked for an opening and found one.
Billy was right they were in there and standing next to the fresh batch of rainbow. Fluttershy grinned at that and used her magic to loosen a bolt causing the pot of hot rainbow to spill onto the both of them. Luna ran the second it hit her but Celestia stood there and took the front of it. Once the last of the pot had emptied Fluttershy saw what she thought was impossible Celestia screamed though she couldn't hear what she was saying. All Fluttershy saw was the manager slowly crouch and try to pretend he wasn't there. Fluttershy burst out laughing and couldn't stop. Until she was confronted by Luna. "I thought I recognized your aura!" she said almost yelling Fluttershy saw the usually dark alicorn covered in rainbow and burst out laughing again. "Yes, yes very funny. GUARDS!" she suddenly yelled Fluttershy's eyes grew then she teleported away from the situation.
One of the guards arrived just as she teleported "Yes your majesty?"
"Put out and alert for another Alicorn I want her in the castle yesterday!" The guard bowed then flew off. "I wonder what happened to the poor girl?" Luna sighed to herself.
Chapter 4 act 2: Zecora's prophecy
Rainbow flew under the constantly raining cloud in her home and stood there happily. She had it imported from the tropics just for the warm water. Then she frowned a bit realizing she was leaving her home for the last time ever after this shower. She walked from under the cloud and shook herself dry. Then she left locking her door and then smiling "I've got a new life now!" with that she flew towards the Everfree Forest.
As she flew over she noticed a lot of it was burned or still burning. Her little show at the boutique apparently started a whole blaze. It hadn't gotten very far in before the pegasus ponies stopped it but I still had done a lot of damage. Then Rainbow saw a brown splotch moving through a clearing and Rainbow smiled "ZECRORA!" she yelled and the splotch stopped moving. Rainbow flew down next to her but she didn't turn around. "Fluttershy told me to come see you?" Zecora nodded and she started walking Rainbow followed.
"It's nice to see so many pegisi ponies coming to me I just wish their hearts were free." She said in her normal rhyming tone.
Rainbow tilted her head she assumed Zecora was talking about their little relationship. "I'm not here for dating advice I'm here because something might be wrong with me."
"I know big cyan one your little friend told me all, but I was not talking about your assumed love." She said walking a little faster now.
"Really? Then what do you mean?" Rainbow said even more confused now.
"I mean your mind young one, its all warped up in your own fantasies so you don't see what really happens!" Zecora was now at a full gallop and Rainbow had to fly to keep up.
Suddenly Zecora stopped and Rainbow flew ahead a bit. "My young confused one you are not enslaved you still have your mind able to be free but you choose not to, for fear your friend shall not stay by your side! Tell me what does your heart say?" Zecora was almost shouting at the end.
Rainbow stoped for a minute and thought "I-it says to see if Applejack and Pinkie are okay."
"But what does your mind say?" Zecora had calmed down now
"To stay with Fluttershy and that cat... By any means." Rainbow said now feeling a unbearable amount of pain in her wings, legs and, horn "IS THIS THE REMEDY!" She screamed in pain.
Zecora stood over Dash as she fell to the ground "Yes, but be warned in your future lies, love, pain, and deceit I see all lead to a bad end and all lead to your hearts content, but at the cost of other hearts and other lives." With that Zecora ran away, in truth they were nowhere near her home and Rainbow knew it.
Dash eventually slipped from concienus when she awoke she was just landing on a cloud not to far from Cloudsdale. How did I get here? She wondered just then a light meow came from Dashes flank she looked and saw Midnight licking his paw again. I guess, I'm heading to Fluttershy? She thought as she flew up.
Chapter 4 act 3: Inglorious Revenge
Fluttershy had stayed up all night waiting for Dash to arrive she had to teleport three times to evade capture and fight off a few guards who took her by surprise. "If that rainbow lovin fleabag dosent show up soon I'm gone." No sooner had she said that when Rainbow landed in the town square Fluttershy ran over and hugged her "I'm glad you made it!" Rainbow was about to speak when Midnight meowed and Fluttershy turned all attention away Rainbow. "OH MIDNIGHT! You came here too? Just for me! Oh I love you!" Fluttershy picked up the cat and nuzzled him.
"So I went and saw Zecora. Like you suggested." Fluttershy turned back to Rainbow. "She said some weird stuff but I think everything's alright I just feel the pain later..." Rainbow looked at her hooves and Fluttershy kissed her on the cheek.
"I knew you were alright!" Fluttershy said happily the frowned when a pony came up to them. It was Billy again this time he was crying.
He stopped infront of Rainbow who was only a few feet taller than him. "Stupid boss it wasn't my fault that Fluttercry knocked over the vat of rainbow! WAS IT?" He looked up at Rainbow with anger on his face, then it stopped and it was replaced with fear. "R-Rainbow Dash? F-F-Fluttershy? What are you doing here?"
Fluttershy smiled at him "I think the better question is what are you doing here aren't you supposed to be guarding that factory?"
He maned up and stared at her "Thanks to you they fired me!" Fluttershy let out a small laugh. "OH you think this is funny!" he continued "What am I going to do for my filly! Work around here is so hard to find and now that my boss wont even recommend me I'm going to have to move!" Fluttershy suddenly grew a smile.
"Wanna fight about?" She asked calmly
Fluttershy knew the answer and she took a fighting stance wings spread and horn down. "Come at me anytime!" The enraged stallion didnt think clearly so he took her up on the offer and charged he had no effect Fluttershy just swiped him from his side knocking him on the cloud. She took the stance again "Are you angry or are you just trying to dance?" He got back up fire behind his eyes this time he took to the skies flying up and coming straight back down. He hit her but just bounced off cracking his neck in the process. He let out a yalp in pain as he landed on his side again. "Fine I'll fight then!" Fluttershy said eagerly, she calmly walked over and placed her hoof on his leg and with a little pressure snapped it like a twig. He screamed out in pain, and a few lights around them turned on some ponies obviously being awoken by the blood curdling screams. Fluttershy smiled again and went to his wing again she placed her hoof down calmly then pushed popping the wing out of the socket. Billy let out another scream in pain now a few ponies had gathered around the fight most watching in horror a few looking for help.
Rainbow leaned over to Fluttershy "We should go were drawing a lot of attention."
Fluttershy didn't pay attention she just simply but both her hooves on his ribcage and slowly applied pressure, Rainbow flinched when she heard the snapping of bones and his screams, finally she stopped billy now lay there crying and coughing blood from time to time. Fluttershy looked at her handy work then kicked the cloud supporting him making it vanish and Billy fell. Satisfied with herself she flew up being aware of Midnight still on her back and she flew off leaving Dash in the middle of the crowd of now very angry pegasi.
Embarrassed and scared Rainbow flew up with her signature speed and flew away. She eventually found a cloud back by Ponyville far away from Fluttershy and Cloudsdale. Most of the night she thought about what Zecora said and how Fluttershy had just killed somepony without even feeling sorry for him. Eventually sleep got the better of her and she drifted off, and for once since this began she didn't dream.
