Trixie in turn, followed Twilight and the others as she too got into into the chariot, yet, she said nothing else on the matter at hand as she looked outside as Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy got on as well.

"Oh, don't be so down on yourself, this is gonna be fun!" Pinkie called out to Trixie and placed a hoof around her, only to be ignored by Trixie "Well, you're not very fun" she added in with a small scoff and just bounded over to where Fluttershy was in the small room that was available.

"Do you think that Trixie's okay?" Fluttershy asked a bit quietly to Pinkie Pie, glancing at Trixie whom was still silent at the moment.

"I don't think it matters right now, she probabally just hates us, especially Twilight" Pinkie replied back as she in turn, snuggled right up to Fluttershy.

"Oh...." Apple Bloom started, sighing a little, yet smiled in the end "And uh yeah, sorry about taking the dune buggy, Scootaloo said that she could drive it and that she wanted to at least try to...."

"I never said I could drive it, stop exaggerating everything I tell you!" Scootaloo yelled back a bit to her friend.

Spike got into the chariot. "yea, it was cool to see." Spike said. Then he looked at Twilight, "So where are we off to now?" He asked.

------

Jason and his group found a place alone. Those morphed unmorphed, Guilmon turned off the hologram so he looked normal again.

"I assume we'll be following them?" Brooklyn asked.

"Yes, though we should regroup with the others." Jason said. "Better then us going on alone. And we have to think if they have many prisoners. We're not sure of the number of their troops so us going in alone is not a good idea."

-------------------

"At least he's on the run instead of having a strong base." Sara said.

"Back to Ponyville," Twilight said.

At the chariot's cruising speed of nearly 600 miles per hour, they arrived in a few minutes and landed in the town square. The four living planes touched down in nearby empty fields.

"Chong escaped," Major Lockie said.

"We know; we got the transmission," Zachary said.

Rainbow Dash looked at Rainbow. "Now about that race..."

Rainbow smirked. "You're on!" She then summoned over some of the ground crew to remove all of her weapons - except for some ammunition for her cannon.

"It will be at Ghastly Gorge! Be there!" Rainbow Dash then flew off.

Rainbow lit her engines and flew off, following the Pegasus.

"Ooh, this ah gotta to see!" Applejack said. "Hey everypony who wants to see Rainbow Dash race against an alien follow me!"

She then galloped after the two. Ms. Swimmer, Zachary and Mr. Bigmouth followed.

---------------------------

One of the ODIN troopers was digging up gems to try and make some cash. Luckily, her superhuman strength aided her greatly.

Fluttershy poked Pinkie Pie on the cheek, who in turn, had her hoofs wrapped around Fluttershy rather tightly "Um Pinkie...." yet, Pinkie refused to move right now.

Trixie glanced at the two ponies and rolled her eyes and left the chariot as well. She did glance at the group who were wanting to go and watch a race, but she shook her head "Trixie will be staying here, she doesn't care to watch a race where Rainbow Dash will probabally loose, it just doesn't seem as fun to Trixie"

Though her eyes gazed to Twilight again and approached her "Twilight....Trixie will need to....borrow a spell book from you, so....go and fetch her one" she practically ordered the other unicorn.

Serris · **Reply #524 on:** February 03, 2012, 07:01:55 PM

"Trixie, where are your manners!" Rarity scolded.

Twilight said nothing as she followed the other ponies to Ghastly Gorge.

-------------

Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash was stretching as Rainbow overlooked the twisting canyon. She moved her control surfaces to make sure they functioned properly. The other living planes slowly circled overhead.

"So we ready to race?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Not yet, sugarcube, we gotta wait for everypony else. Ah thing the alien representatives want to see this as well," Applejack replied.

MrDrake · **Reply #525 on:** February 03, 2012, 07:13:24 PM

"Fine, Trixie will get one herself" Trixie scoffed back as she turned and headed in the direction of the library, not even caring about the race that was going on right now as she entered said library and looked around.

One by one, she used her magic to pull books off the shelves, trying to find a rather useful spell book, but with each book that she rejected, she just left them on the ground instead "How is Trixie suppose to find a spell book amongst all these books?" she groaned as books started to now litter the ground in the library.

***

The Cutie Mark Crusaders in turn, were still, well, arguing amongst themselves as usual. Well, mainly Apple Bloom and Scootaloo were while Sweetie Belle stood on the side and just shook her head.

She didn't know how to use magic still, so she wasn't able to seperate them via magic.

***

Fluttershy on the other hand, had finally gotten free of Pinkie's grip and was outside the chariot wondering where the others had gone too, but before she could ask Pinkie, her friend bounded out of the chariot and past Fluttershy.

"Wait Pinkie!" Fluttershy called out as she trotted off after her pink friend "Um, do you know where everypony else has gone too? I missed out on the information since you wouldn't let me go"

"Yup, Ghastly Gorge, a race between Rainbow Dash and that plane!" Pinkie continued to bound along beside Fluttershy "I only know these things because the plot requires it"

"The plot?" Fluttershy asked a bit confused.

"Of the RP....duh" Pinkie Pie answered back as she continued to bound along, not bothering to eleborate on it at all.

That had just confused Fluttershy even more, but decided against asking anymore questions from Pinkie Pie as the two headed towards Ghastly Gorge.

Serris · **Reply #526 on:** February 03, 2012, 07:42:14 PM

Captain Carson went up to the CMC. "I just got word that there's a race between Rainbow Dash and Rainbow, the living plane. It's at Ghastly Gorge so do you mind showing me the way?"

"Stripetail," the woman called. "There's a race at Ghastly Gorge, wanna watch?"

------------------

"Hey! Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Applejack are here!" Twilight said."Come on, girls, this is guraunteed to be an amazing race."

"Can we just start already!?" an exasperated Rainbow Dash shouted.

"Five more minutes, then we start the race!" Rainbow shouted. "I don't give a s--- if Stripetail or Captain Carson are late."

MrDrake · **Reply #527 on:** February 03, 2012, 07:59:49 PM

"Yeah, we can show you" Scootaloo piped up "Besides, I gotta see Rainbow Dash race and beat Rainbow in a race" she added in rather excitedly as she put her helmet back on and got onto her scooter "This way" she spoke before she took off.

"Wait!" Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle both called out and raced off after Scootaloo.

***

Pinkie Pie bounded right up to Twilight and stood beside her as Fluttershy joined as well "Oooh, this is gonna be a good race" Pinkie Pie giggled.

"Same here-" Fluttershy started, only to again to be cut off by Pinkie Pie still talking away.

"I mean, it has to be fair if the player of them two stays fair" Pinkie Pie in turn, narrowed her eyes off in the distance, as if to actually look at Serris himself.

"Um Pinkie....who are you looking at?" Fluttershy asked, trying to figure it out herself.

Pinkie Pie snapped out of her little trance that she was in and just smiled to Fluttershy, yet, said nothing on the matter and instead, just shuffled right up to her instead.

Fluttershy sighed back "I guess she was just being herself" she told the others, ignoring what Pinkie was doing right now as she felt Pinkie's head relaxing on her shoulder.

***

Back at Ponyville, the library was now just a complete mess as Trixie has finally found a spell book and was reading through it, not even bothering to clean up her mess as her horn was seen glowing with the spell book floating in front of her. She was reading a spell and studying it before she settled the book down and started to concentrate.

In front of Trixie, a hay sandwhich and shake appeared to which she smirked to herself and promptly took a bite out of the sandwhich....only for a rather big explosion to happen.

The inside of the library was now ruined completely as Trixie just stood there, her mane and hide all covered in black powder as she coughed up some black smoke "Trixie did not expect the sandwhich to explode for no reason...."

Serris · **Reply #528 on:** February 03, 2012, 08:35:13 PM

Captain Carson's eyes widened as she he heard the explosion. She radioed Sara. "Sara, there's been an explosion at Ponyville Library. Get Spike or Twilight there too!"

She then turned to the CMC. "We'll take the dune buggy."

She hopped into the vehicle next to the APC, strapped herself in and started the four electric motors. "Well, come on! And Scootaloo, I drive."

The captain waited for the CMC to get in.

---------------

The explosion was audible at Ghastly Gorge.

Twilight immediately galloped back to town.

---------------

Deimos, Rime and two soldiers were rushing to the library when they heard the explosion. All of them had their guns ready in case of an attack.

MrDrake · **Reply #529 on:** February 03, 2012, 08:40:58 PM

Trixie again, coughed out some black smoke again as she used her magic to pick up the book again....only to throw it outside in frustration "All Trixie wanted was something to eat and not an exploding sandwhich" she then paused "Trixie still doesn't understand why it exploded"

She then stepped out of the library, leaving it in the state it was and started to leave the scene of the incident, stepping on the spell book she had thrown outside in the process without a care anymore.

***

Scootaloo stopped where she was when she was told she couldn't drive and got off her scooter, leaving it where it was and instead, got into the dune buggy in the passenger's seat with Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom entering as well.

Serris · **Reply #530 on:** February 03, 2012, 09:00:45 PM

Unfortunately, Twilight had teleported right in front of Trixie. "Trixie, what the hay happened to my library?" She demanded.

Deimos, Rime and the two soldiers arrived at the explosion site. "Trixie, Twilight, is everything okay?" Rime asked.

"I'll take it from here."

Deimos and his group nodded and walked away.

------------

Captain Carson stepped on the accelerator and sped out of town.

In about a minute, the vehicle was moving at nearly 105 miles an hour as it screamed over the flat grassy plains outside Ponyville.

MrDrake · **Reply #531 on:** February 03, 2012, 09:07:01 PM

Trixie stopped as Twilight appeared in front of her "Well, because you refused to go and get me a spell book, Trixie decided to go and get one herself from your library. She found a spell book after searching through many pointless books and decided that a sandwhich was the first thing to summon. She got herself a sandwhich and went to bite it....and it exploded for no reason at all"

She then used her magic to pick up the now ruined spell book off the ground and float it over to Twilight "So Trixie believes that if you had gone and gotten her a spell book in the first place, that wouldn't have happened at all" her eyes narrowed at Twilight all the while.

"All Trixie wanted first, was something to eat before she would try and learn a real spell" Trixie added in but with a small sigh to boot as she looked to the side a little "Trixie is....sorry...." she muttered in the end.

Wargreymon and Wargreywomon reached canterlot and landed " I'm guessing we missed the action Wargreywomon said to her partner. " well we might as well check this place out " wargreymon replied . Normally a Digimon would not last long in a Mega state, because of the energy required. but thanks to the rings, Agumon and Agumina could stay in thier Mega foorms for much longer than normal, their power was also greatly increased.

One by one the team members who had looked around Ponyville had decided to return to the ship and the Winterville hotel. Kovu especially wanted a nice long nap..

Kor · **Reply #533 on:** February 03, 2012, 10:57:44 PM

Sara landed holding Spike. "I'd have been here sooner but it took me a while to find Spike. I never did find Twilight. Luckly some Red stallion with a green apple tatoo on his flank had seen where Spike went and was able to give me a description of what he looked like so I was able to find and bring him here." Sara said. She set Spike down who was to shocked for a moment to speak. "Did a missile explode here or something?" She asked.

"Do you know how long it'll take me to clean up this mess? " Spike said upset. "HOw much did the enemy pay you to do this?" Spike asked looking at Trixie.

MrDrake · **Reply #534 on:** February 03, 2012, 11:05:23 PM

Trixie's head snapped towards Spike. And just when she had said sorry to Twilight, even if Twilight hadn't heard her, now Spike was trying to accuse her of doing it on purpose "Trixie didn't do it on purpose! It was an accident!" she snapped at Spike before stopping herself.

She glanced at Twilight, then to Spike again "Trixe had told Twilight the truth, that Trixie was trying a spell out as she was hungry, she wanted a sandwhich and she got one, but the sandwhich exploded for no reason at all, at least Trixie can't think of a reason as to why it would explode on her" she then sighed a bit as well, for now, her anger and hatred gone.

Her gaze shifted to Twilight again "Trixie still would like something to eat....would Twilight get something for her? Please?"

Serris · **Reply #535 on:** February 04, 2012, 01:27:15 AM

"Much better," Twilight said with a gentle grin. "Now what would you like me to bring you?"

----------------

Captain Carson shut off the vehicle as they arrived at Ghastly Gorge. She stepped out onto the grass and whistled as she beheld the sight. "Now this is gonna be an interesting race."

She then turned to the CMC. "So how'd you three like the ride?"

Mr. Bigmouth cleared his throat. "All right, I need every to back away from the competitors - especially Rainbow."

"She's just fast movin' metal. Ah reckon, she can't be more dangerous than a pony," Applejack said.

"If you get too close behind her, you can be seriously hurt or even killed."

Applejack, deciding that the aliens knew themselves better, obeyed.

Soon, Ms. Swimmer, Captain Carson, Mr Bigmouth and Rarity were positioned to the right of Rainbow Dash. To her left was the living F-22.

Captain Carson looked at the two and cleared her throat. "In a few short moments, the race between Rainbow Dash and Rainbow is set to begin!"

Rainbow Dash extended her wings and gave a few experimental flaps. Rainbow moved all her control surfaces.

"May the best speedster win," Rainbow said.

"Contestants, ready, go!" Captain Carson fired a round from her pistol into the canyon.

Rainbow Dash sprinted down the runway, rapidly gaining speed.

Rainbow lit her dual turbofans, opened the throttle to maximum and engaged afterburners at full power, producing two shimmering pillars of barely visible flame. The low growl of her engines became an earsplitting scream as they spooled up and she began moving down the runway, quickly gaining speed.

"Such dreadful noise!" Rarity exclaimed.

MrDrake · **Reply #536 on:** February 04, 2012, 01:38:32 AM

"Trixie would like a sandwhich please, one that will not explode when she tries to eat it" Trixie replied back, though a bit confused in regards to how nice Twilight was sounding now.

But then, she also got another idea, but wasn't so sure if she should ask Twilight about it as she hessitated in asking her "Trixie was also wondering if....Twilight would also help her with leanring spells...." she asked, though muttering the last part a little as well, as she didn't really want to ask Twilight about it.

"And Trixie....she is sorry still....about....hating you and all that...." Trixie added in, looking aside a little with an annoyed look upon her face "She just thinks she is better than Twilight, and she was sure she was as well....but then Twilight managed to deal with an Ursa Minor and Trixie did start to doubt her own skills....perhaps she just wanted to...show Twilight that she is still just as good as she is...."

***

"Well, at least it's better than Scootaloo trying to drive it" Apple Bloom teased her friend before jumping out of the dune buggy.

"What? Hey!" Scootaloo complained a bit as she followed Apple Bloom out.

Sweetie Belle in turn, just jumped out without a word as well.

Pinkie Pie on the other hand, left Fluttershy alone for a moment as she bounded off after Rainbow Dash, bouncing beside her ignoring the whole rules ordeal "Hey Rainbow Dash, I know you'll win, you're like the super fastest, most awesomest pegasus around! I mean, Rainbow is fast and all, but he can't preform a Sonic Rainboom like you can, and-" she was cut off with being left in the dust.

Serris · **Reply #537 on:** February 04, 2012, 02:05:33 AM

"I'm a female!" Rainbow shouted back as she gained speed. Much to her displeasure, Rainbow Dash was already flying ahead.

The living F-22 swore as she realized that the runway was too short for her to gain altitude. So she just shut her afterburners, throttled back her engines, flew off the cliff and glided, hoping to gain enough speed.

She mentally swore as the ground got closer and closer, when she was just a little over a hundred feet off the ground, she opened her throttle and rapidly began to climb. Rainbow smirked as she lit her afterburners. Many seconds later, a distant sonic boom reached the spectators' ears.

------------------

"So who's gonna win?" Ms. Swimmer asked.

"Rainbow, her top speed is over Mach two," Mr. Bigmouth replied.

"Dash might have the advantage as she's smaller," Captain Carson countered. "The course has a lot narrow paths."

----------------

Rainbow Dash cruised along at Mach 1.2. "Piece of cake," she said.

MrDrake · **Reply #538 on:** February 04, 2012, 02:19:58 AM

"Well, you all look the same!" Pinkie Pie called out after her before she turned and bounded back over to her friends once again.

"That didn't sound very nice" Fluttershy told Pinkie as she looked out at the race that was going on while Pinkie came to a halt next to her.

Scootaloo however, sat down elsewhere as she was just silently hoping that Rainbow Dash would win with ease, ignoring her crusader friends for the time ebing as her eyes just watched the race as well.

***

'Perhaps Trixie should take that as a no then, it figures that Twilight would not want to help out Trixie, even if she was being nice...." trixie thought to herself as she shook her head 'Trixie doesn't understand why though'

"Trixie understands why you don't wish to help her out, she understands that you're still hateful towards her, that you don't trust her....even when Trixie was actually trying to be nice and that she had even said sorry to you!" Trixie snapped a bit at Twilight by that point, only to stop herself as she blinked a few tears out of her eyes "And Trixie is not crying, she just has something in her eye...."

Serris · **Reply #539 on:** February 04, 2012, 04:21:22 AM

Twilight nuzzled Trixie in an attempt to console her. "I'll get some sandwiches and then we'll we watch the race between Rainbow and Rainbow Dash."

She then trotted off to the sandwich shop.

---------------------

Rainbow had flipped on her side to weave through some rather narrow canyons. Thanks to her superhuman reflexes and the fact that she was supermaneuverabile, she was able to accomplish this at speeds nearing 600 mph; granted she did scratch some paint on her wings. When she hit a long straightaway, she lit her afterburners and accelerated to Mach speeds.

The windy tunnel she passed through barely slowed her down at all thanks to her great size and the fact that her afterburners were running at full throttle.

A thorn patch was rapidly approaching. She throttled back her engines and proceeded to supercruise. The rules said that she was not allowed to fly over them but it didn't say anything about shooting them.

She readied her 20 mm automatic cannon, sending a hail of explosive shells at the obstruction, and blasting a path.

"Not gonna let some arrogant alien bet me!" she muttered as she continued flying.

---------------------

Rainbow Dash was now ahead of Rainbow by a substantial margin. She had to slow down to avoid the quarry eels.

"This is gonna be a piece of cake!" she said as she weaved around the angry eels.

"She'll never catch me! This is going to be in the bag!"

She then sped towards the finish line visible in the distance.
