Rainbow Dash and the Crystal Empire

by Rainbow Dash 55

Invaded

"That's awful, Twilight. But what's causing it?"

They'd been flying around for a few minutes, Rainbow carrying Twilight on her back. Where were they going? Rainbow couldn't be sure. Twilight gave her the directions, "Turn here," "Go up here," and all that.

"I know," Twilight said. "The reason I can't fly very well is because, well...the Crystal Empire."

"What's happening to it?"

"It's being invaded."

Rainbow stopped dead in her tracks, nearly dropping Twilight out of the sky. She continued to flap in place, however, something Twilight envied.

"WHAT? And we're just flying around aimlessly while it's being invaded?!"

"No, Rainbow, of course not! We're going to a place where I think somepony can help us."

Rainbow looked down, and she realized that the trail below them looked familiar. She followed it. "Who would even BE there?"

"You'll see." Rainbow could hear the smile in Twilight's voice.
