Twilight Sparkle and Applejack were on the blimp,on their way to Canterlot to tell the princess about Knuckles,when they saw a rather strange contraption,holding a yellow fox,fighting a large,bird like metal monster.

"Oh no,what are 's robots doing here?" the fox said,shooting at the bird-like creature until it exploded,but many more flew up after that one was demolished

"Ahhh,too many badniks!" the fox said,shooting at them,most of them went down,but one of them was quick enough to attach its self to the machine the fox was flying,and it went into a tail spin

"AHHH,LOOK OUT!" the fox yelled,falling towards the blimp. Both Twilight Sparkle and Applejack screamed before the machine collided into the blimp and sent both of them falling down with a crash.

"Owww…my head…." The yellow fox said,holding his head.

"Oh my goodness,the blimp is ruined!" Twilight exclaimed

"Yup,its broken alright,but it can be easily repaired,if only we just had some glue….." Tails then looked at Applejack

"Well,just hold yer horses lil one,but I think you need to give us an explanation to whats going on here!" Applejack yelled to the little fox

"Oh,sorry,my mistake,hi,my name is Miles Prower,but my friends call me Tails." The yellow fox said,pushing buttons on his wrist watch

"Hello,I'm Twilight Sparkle,and this is my friend Applejack." Twilight said,turning away from the wrecked blimp

"Umm,what are you doin' there shorty?" Applejack asked,Tails frowned at the word shorty.

"I'm sending for a new plane,my old one is broken,but this should help pick things up." Tails then turned to the two ponies

"So,where were you headed,maybe I could take you two to your destination." Tails said,the bird badnik sneeking up behind him

"Tails!" Twilight Sparkle yelled,pointing to the robot

"Huh?" he asked,the robot went to attack him,but Applejack quickly bucked it away,and a smaller,real bird came,flying out.

"What is that thing?" Twilight Sparkle asked,curiously

"It's a badnik, makes those,he's a mad scientist trying to take over the world." Tails said,calmly

"Well those thangs seem out of the ordinary to meh,maybe we should keep on movin'" Applejack said,motioning to the forest. Tails nodded,then walked along,Twilight Sparkle and Applejack followed.

More blood spurred out of Knuckles wounds

"TELL ME!" Rainbow Dash yelled,pushing Knuckles to his back more,but he didn't give in

"…I'd never…..tell you…..a thing….." he said,slowly trying to regain his oxygen

"Rainbow Dash,your hurting him!" Fluttershy screamed,Rainbow Dash ignored her.

"YOU WILL TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO KNOW!" Rainbow Dash said,Knuckles losing more blood by the second,but he chuckled

"Whats so funny?" she asked,applying less pressure to his chest

"Your doing all of this…..because you lost a race…wow…your really a sore lose-ARGHHHHH!" Knuckles screamed out,Rainbow Dash applying more force on him than she would've on anything else.

"Rainbow Dash,stop it,your gonna kill him!" Fluttershy yelled out to her friend,Rainbow Dash still ignored her,and continued to apply more pressure,blood started coming out of his mouth

"Had enough?" Rainbow Dash asked,loosening her grip on the red echidna. Knuckles spat blood into her eye.

"YUCK!"

Rainbow Dash shook her head at the echidna,picking up a towel and cleaning out her eye.

Fluttershy tried to help the poor injured echidna up,but Rainbow Dash was too fast,she swooped up and pinned him back up to the wall

"Why you no good little-"

"Shut up!" Knuckles blurted out to the rainbow colored pony

Rainbow Dash starred at him for a whole minute,silence in the room,then she pushed his chest in so far that he lost consciousness,and after that,she continued

"RAINBOW DASH,STOP!" Fluttershy yelled out to the rainbow colored pony,who listened this time and releaser Knuckles from her grasp. Fluttershy ran up to him and checked his pulse

"He's still alive…." She said,getting out a medical kit

"Good cause I'm not done with him yet!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed,angrily

"Rainbow Dash,he's too injured to defend himself,you can't just do that to anypony you choose!" Fluttershy yelled out to Rainbow Dash

"WHAT,BUT FLUTTERSHY,YOU DON'T KNOW WHO HE IS,HE COULD BE AN ENEMY FOR ALL WE KNOW!" Rainbow Dash yelled at the shy yellow pony

"Well I don't know who you are now,Rainbow Dash!" Flutterashy retorted, unexpectedly. This shocked Rainbow Dash

"Well then fine,if you wanna go choose that stupid red guy over your best friend,go ahead,I'm out of here!" Rainbow Dash yelled,spreading out her wings and preparing to leave

"WAIT!" Fluttershy yelled at the last minute,Rainbow Dash turned around

"I'll tell you everything you need to know,Knuckles told me all about it…" she said,sadly. Rainbow Dash smiled evilly
