ONTO THE STORY
Gilda hit the ground with a thud. Rainbow moved forward, but was met with a swipe of a bat across her face. She fell down near Gilda and grabbed her face. Soarin stood over her and pulled out a pistol. He pulled the trigger.
"GAH!" Rainbow sat up in her bed and looked around the dark room. Sweat covered her face and her bed was messed up.
"It was a dream?" She stepped from the sheets and landed on the floor.
Rainbow flicked on the lights and saw Applejack sitting in her chair.
"Applejack?"
"You've been yelling and screaming in your sleep. I moved into here and kept my eye on you. Before you woke up, you said 'Soarin NO!' and woke up…"
"I thought we were at the fight. I remember getting in your truck and driving to the school."
"Rainbow, we got in my truck and drove to your place. We've been here."
"It felt so real…" Rainbow sat on her bedside and covered her face.
"It's about the fight isn't it?" Applejack joined her on the bed and laid Rainbow's head on her lap.
"Well ya. I'm just worried about it all ya know, like we're unprepared and all that mumbo jumbo."
"Well then let's make them unprepared."
"Are you saying we should make a sneak attack? At Soarin's home?" Rainbow sat up and looked at Applejack.
"Exactly that. Call up Twilight, tell her the new plan and tell her to pass it on." She stood from the bed and walked into the kitchen.
"Hello?"
"Twilight! New plan. We are going to do a suprise attack on them."
"Did someone say surprise!?...Pinkie, go somewhere else…Fine."
"Just tell everyone to meet at Rarity's place for the plan."
"Alright."
Rainbow slammed her phone down and placed it on the countertop.
"It's all set up, she's calling everyone to let them know…..Applejack?"
Rainbow walked over to the cowgirl standing at the open fridge.
"Remember that one night I came over…"
Rainbow wrapped her arms around her and kissed her cheek.
"I will always cherish it…"
Applejack spun around and faced Rainbow. She laid a kiss on her that she hasn't in a very long time.
"Oh wow." Rainbow stepped back. "Have I missed this."
"Rainbow...Rainbow….Rainbow!" Applejack pushed the girl off of the couch.
"Hey, I was dreaming."
"No shit. Remember we have to meet up at Rarity's for the plan?"
"That's right. Welp….Time to get ready."
"C'mon sugarcube, get in the truck."
"Hold up." Rainbow placed the key in the door knob and left it open.
"What are you doin'?"
"This is the last day i'm staying here, why do you think I put all of my valuables in the truck?"
"Right. Let's go…"
"People….I'm tired of giving these speeches...Can we just go?" Discord stepped from the top of a car and sat down.
"That is actually not a bad plan. Alright everyone..Let's go." Celestia grabbed a helmet and got into her car with Luna.
A caravan of vehicles began to leave the school heading for Soarin's place.
"Do you think we're gonna die?" Twilight looked at Fluttershy and Rarity through her rearview mirror.
"Well….We do have Rainbow and Luna."
"But WE. WE could die Rarity…"
"It's for a cause nobile enough for me." Rarity grabbed her phone and looked to end the conversation.
Twilight sighed and looked at the twisted road ahead.
Applejack's Truck pulled into a neighboring house. Cars joined her's and crowded the large driveway.
"Alright….Let's go…" Rainbow put a gun in her inner jacket pocket and walked up the street toward the house.
"Alright people. We're gonna sneak up on them and catch them off guard." Soarin pointed at a map and circled the school.
People started walking outside but were met with Rainbow standing on the driveway.
"Well looky here, it's Rainbow." Soarin hopped down the porch and met her face to face.
"Come to surrender?" Soarin smirked at the uniform she was wearing.
"No, have you?"
"Why would I need to? I have an army!"
"Fair enough. Before we fight, let's talk business."
"Oh, yep...Sure. Come inside for 'business.'" Soarin put up quotation marks and walked up the steps.
They walked into his father's study, sat at a table and began talking.
"So Rainbow...What do you want to talk about?"
"Well right now I'm just stalling."
"Wait...Stalling?" Soarin stood up and looked out toward the driveway.
Nothing was in sight.
"If you're trying to trick me, it won't work…"
"Ya, well." Rainbow stood up and pulled out the pistol. "Same with me."
A large bang from the door made the two glance toward the entrance.
"What the hell?" Soarin walked toward the french doors and opened one.
"Donny, what's going on?"
"I don't know. I-" Windows shattered and people began barging in every entrance.
Before Donny finished talking, a bullet flew through his skull and hit the wall next to Soarin.
"Holy fuck!" Soarin slammed the door and hit the floor.
"Surprise motherbuckers!" Luna flew through the back door and rolled into the kitchen.
"Buck?" Celestia came in and holstered her gun.
"Just forget it...It's a joke…" She adjusted the headphones on her head and played a mix.
People began flooding into the house with guns a blazing. Bullets began flying everywhere.
When he found a chance, Soarin fled for the basement, and Rainbow followed.
"Where are you going?" Rainbow jumped the flight of stairs and hit the ground, landing on her feet and one hand.
"Here!" Soarin lifted a nearby chair and slammed it on her back.
Rainbow hit the ground and grabbed her lower back.
Soarin wasted no time and grabbed a vase, slamming it into the same spot.
She shrieked as broken vase entered her skin, slicing sections and digging deeper into her back.
"Why couldn't you just date Spitfire, huh? She basically died for you." He grabbed another object and stopped as Rainbow got up.
"What do you mean?"
"The reason she did those drugs was because she thought you were still doing them."
"Wow I-" Her sentence was cut off by a stool to her arm, breaking it in two.
"GAH!" Rainbow hit the ground and grabbed her now limp arm.
"I'm only kidding. She dated Gilda because Gilda wanted to kill you. Gilda thought bringing Spits closer would get you closer."
"So-then-why-d-did-she-hire-you?" Pain surged through her arm, cutting her dialog into fragments.
"Hire? Ha! Broken down and still got jokes. Were dating dip shit, and we're going to win this war."
"Heh." Rainbow stood up and let her arm down by her side.
"Wow, so tough." He lifted the stool and brought it down, but was cut off by Rainbow's hand grabbing it and throwing it to the side.
She walked toward him as he backed away into the hallways of his basement. He then turned and ran down one, cutting into a doorway.
She followed and closed the two doors behind her.
"Remember this? Hm? The night I made you mine?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Oh, come now Dash, don't act like you don't remember." Gilda walked toward them from the corner of the room and crossed her arms.
"Your arrogance led you to our trap, and sprang it you have."
"What trap?" Soarin walked forward and punched her arm.
She tensed and kneeled down. He picked her up and put her on a chair, tying her ankles and arms.
"There we go. Now it's time to have some fun." Soarin stripped down his clothing and grabbed Rainbow's chin, making her look him in the eye.
"You WILL enjoy this." He laid a hard kiss on her lips, but was pushed back with her head.
"Fighting won't help you Rainbow." He let his boxers down and grabbed the button on her jeans.
It unfastened with ease. Soarin proceeded to pull off her pants and underwear, exposing her to the two.
"Wow, looks to me like you've gotten busy since we last did it." Soarin lifted her from the chair and placed her tied up body on the bed.
"Time to pay Dash." Gilda walked from the room and closed the door, seeing Rainbow's face for the last time.
Gilda walked up the steps and looked around. The battle had gone upstairs, but a lot of people sat on the floor, bloodied and wounded.
"Howdy." Applejack was in the kitchen, baking a pie.
"What the fuck are you doing?" Gilda grabbed a nearby bat and placed it behind her back.
"No need for that. I'm just baking an apple pie. Hurting people just makes me hungry." Applejack poked her finger in the pie and licked it. "And it's done."
She sat down at the countertop and pulled up a stool.
"Why? Just why?"
"Well, ya see Gilda. I'm hungry, and when I'm done, I'm going to kill you."
"Whate-" She was cut off by a plate being thrown at her face.
"What the?"
"Done eating. Time to die." Applejack grabbed out her brass knuckles and pushed the stool away.
She advanced at Gilda and swung at her head. Gilda dodged and pulled the bat up to her chin. Applejack shot back and grabbed her jaw. She snarled and step forward, finally landing a blow to the head of Gilda. She screamed and stumbled backwards and down the stairs. Applejack followed slowly behind, watching the girl roll down the flight.
Gilda hit the ground hard and reached for any object around her, but failed as a knuckle hit her hand, breaking it.
"Gahh!" Gilda stumbled back into a wall and regained balance, but was thrown off again by a fist to the stomach.
"Wait...Please...Applejack...Stop. I-I can help you."
"Well I'm not going to accept it. Any last words?"
"Wait! Are you actually going to k-" Her words were cut off with a bullet through her chest.
Gilda hit the ground, speechless, as she grabbed her wound.
"Yes...Yes Ah am. Goodnight." She pulled up the pistol once more and pulled the trigger.
The blast echoed throughout the basement and shuttered picture frames hanging on the walls. A hole was now in the wall and blood seeped from Gilda's head.
Applejack holstered the gun and began her ascent up the stairs, but was stopped by a noise coming from the hallway.
"What the hay?" She walked down and opened the doors, revealing Soarin atop Rainbow.
"Applejack!" Rainbow turned and pleaded for help.
"Huh?" Soarin looked over and was met with a fist to his jaw, knocking him back off the bed.
Applejack threw Rainbow her clothes and looked down at the nude man.
"Boy, did you pick the wrong thing to do." Applejack handed the gun over to Rainbow, who proceeded to grab it.
She wasted no time and shot his crotch.
"Ah. NO!" Soarin grabbed his pelvis and scooted to the wall.
"You bitch!" He looked up at Rainbow, but was met with a barrel of a gun.
"I-I mean you loving, and very creative gal. I sure do wish you weren't going to kill me." Soarin swallowed and looked up at Rainbow who smiled.
"You already spent your wish. Fuck you." She pulled the trigger, but heard a click.
"Huh?" She kept trying, but only heard the hammer falling.
"Oh thank God." Soarin looked down, noticing something was missing. "...Nevermind."
After looking at his wound, Soarin began to go into shock and eventually passed out.
"What a pansy." Applejack grabbed him and dragged his limp body up to the main floor.
_
After awhile, Rainbow finally got Gilda's body up the steps and laid it down next to Soarin's.
"Well that took longer than expected." Rainbow looked up and saw bodies strewn across the home.
Everywhere was either a limp body, or blood. The two checked each one to make sure it wasn't one of theirs. Surprisingly, none of them were. One was either a jock or emo. They let out a sigh of relief and walked out front to see everyone talking.
"Well finally." Twilight went up and hugged the two.
"What's going on?" Rainbow went down the steps.
"Well, we decided to celebrate. You know, first victory and zero casualties."
"A celebration at the enemies home. You sick bastards….That's awesome!" She ran down a looked for the closest water.
2 Weeks Later
"Well my fellow students, the year is ending, and so much has taken place. The school one it's first state championship, and we kicked ass out at Soarin's place. Although it is over, something's are only beginning. Some friends have had to be let go, and others have had to be forgotten. Most of you will remember the fallen as the most courageous people to ever live...And you may be right. Congratulations to our Graduates, and congratulations to your summer. Be wise, be strong. Celestia out."
Before she turned off the microphone, Luna's voice was heard in the background.
"That was extremely lame Sis...like...Really bad."
"Shut up Luna."
"Well it's done, huh? Soarin is off to prison, Gilda is dead and gone, and summer is out. No more worries." Applejack looked over at Rainbow.
Rainbow Dash slammed her locker and grabbed her backpack.
"I'm sure going to miss this year…"
"Me too, Sugarcube...Me too."
The two exited the doors and made their way to their vehicles.
Applejack began to unlock her door but stopped and grabbed her stomach. She hit the ground and was passed out before her head fell to the floor.
"Applejack!" Rainbow ran back and looked at the now unconscious girl.
"C'mon Applejack, no games."
She didn't speak a word.
Without hesitation, Rainbow picked up the farm girl and placed her into the truck. She stepped in and put the keys in the ignition, but got no start.
"C'mon you piece of shit, c'mon!"
The engine finally turned over and started up. Rainbow slapped the truck into first, and sped out of the parking lot and onto the road.
"Just stay with me AJ. Don't go anywhere. Wait...You're already passed out, what am I saying?"
The truck rumbled down the road and found it's way to the hospital. Rainbow didn't bother closing the doors as she jumped out and got Applejack into the hospital.
"Help! Help! She passed out. I don't know what's wrong.." She placed her on a gurney and watched as doctors rolled her into ER.
A doctor stepped into the waiting room that Rainbow and friends were.
"A Miss Dash?" Rainbow stood up and began to walk, but stopped and looked back at her friends.
They all made a hand gesture that encouraged her to keep going. She smiled and walked through the two doors. The hallway was well lit and consisted of patients being either pulled or pushed by medical staff throughout the place.
"Here she is...Aw crap, I got the wrong paperwork. Her's is still running. I'll be right back."
"Thanks doc."
Rainbow walked over and took a seat next to Applejack.
"Well Apples...You feeling ok?"
"Just dandy, got a weird feeling in my stomach, but that's about it."
"Cool."
"Ah, here we are. I've got some very good news." The doctor walked in and flipped a page on his clipboard.
"Great, let's hear it."
"Well, it's...it's definitely great, but..Well. Here. I'll make it sound simple…"
"Make what simple doc?" Applejack leaned up in her bed and began to look worried.
Rainbow Dash looked over at her, and then the doctor, who was flipping back and forth through is clipboard.
"Well doc?...Let's get out with it? What are you trying to say?"
"Congratulations...It's a boy."
