Equestria Shorts: Rainbow Dash

[Trixie the Greatest 130]

(I wrote a series called Equestria Shorts, which are nothing more than random one-time non-canonical tales from any other character in the show.  This time is Rainbow Dash, who happens to been zapped to a  familiar land where mushrooms make you twice your size and can stomp on evil turtles...)

 

EQUESTRIA SHORTS 3

 

 

The mushroom kingdom. A bright sunny day greeted the land while the various creatures roamed around; minding their own business whenever there wasn't a certain plumber around to squash them. All of the sudden, a loud "pop!" noise was heard, and Rainbow Dash appeared in the middle of the road. She blinked and looked around her surroundings.

 

"Where in the hay am I...?"

 

She noticed something far away slowly coming her way. She squinted to notice the small shape nearing her, and as it came closer, she realized that the creature looked like a brown mushroom with tiny feet and a face with a scowl on it. Rainbow Dash started talking to it as it kept walking towards her.

 

"Hey...do you know where am I? Heck, do you even know what I am saying? Um...you can stop now...hey, I said don't get too close to me!"

 

Rainbow Dash raised her hooves and planted them on the mushroom-looking creature to stop it, only to get zapped. She screamed and jolted to the air, hovering with her wings as the tiny creature kept walking away. Rainbow Dash glared at it.

 

"What in the world was that for? Wait a minute...what happened to my voice? Why does it sound so...tiny...?"

 

Rainbow Dash looked at herself and noticed she was smaller than when she touched the creature. She huffed and started flying aimlessly through the new world she was in. As she passed a floating square with a question mark on it, she bucked it in frustration and went on her way. She turned around when she heard a funny noise coming from said square and noticed an oversized red mushroom standing on top of it. She raised an eyebrow and got closer to it.

"Huh...a mushroom. Well, I am kinda hungry and I think mushrooms are edible, at least the ones they put on pizzas anyway. I think I will take a bite out of it..."

 

She opened her mouth and bit the mushroom, only for it to disappear when she did so. As Rainbow Dash tried to find out what happened, she felt her body grow back to its original size. She looked at herself and grimaced.

 

"This is getting weirder by the minute. Well, at least I am back to normal. Gotta find a way outta here and fast, I don't want to meet any more of those things."

 

As she kept flying around, she noticed various weird creatures along the way. Turtles of various colors walking upright, piranha plants sticking their heads out from green pipes, flying bullets passing by with eyes and tiny arms on their sides and more of those mushroom looking things. She kept herself aloft, not wanting to bother with any of said creatures. She noticed that the clouds here seemed like the ones back home, but a bit more roundish and for some reason, with faces on them. This was starting to creep her out when she noticed one of said clouds began chasing her. She looked at it when a strange orange creature with big eyes popped out from the cloud. It then began tossing red balls at her, trying to hit her.

 

"Hey! What the hay are you doing this to me? Stop it!"

 

Rainbow kept dodging every ball as it landed on the floor. She noticed that said things quickly transformed into tiny turtle like creatures with spines on their shells, walking aimlessly around. Rainbow Dash tried her best to evade the projectiles, but found it harder as the thing kept tossing them with more speed as it kept flying above her. She noticed another floating square with a question mark on it, and quickly buck it to reveal a bigger mushroom this time around. She quickly put it in her mouth as it too, disappeared once it made contact with her. Within moments, she grew in enormous size this time, towering over the cloud with the orange fiend among every other creature that was now looking up at her. Rainbow smiled.

"Alright you little dorks! Let's see how you like this!"

 

She slapped the cloud away with her huge hoof as she kicked and trashed around the diminutive creatures. She laughed as she kept walking through the place kicking about anything she passed by. However her joy was short lived, as she felt her body getting back to regular size. She stood on the ground, looking back at a crowd of very angry looking creatures glaring at her. Rainbow yelped and dashed away as said creatures began chasing her now. She flew away gaining speed as she neared a set of stone stairs that were built with several steps on them. Dash glided upwards to get over the structure and found a flagpole at the other end. She soon realized said pole was too close to her and tried to stop, only to find herself smacked against it and holding on to the flag as she slid down below. Dash landed on her haunches, seeing stars floating around her for a moment. She shook he r head to clear it and noticed a big castle a few feet away from her position. Seeing nowhere else to go, Dash shrugged and walked inside said structure.

 

"Maybe there is someone here that could tell me how to get back home..."

 

As she entered the place through one of the many door less arks, she quickly found herself in a different place, one that looked like a huge dungeon with floor and walls made of gray bricks, fire turning around platforms in a circular manner, and fireballs shooting from lava pits below. Dash grimaced.

 

"What kind of castle is this anyway? Sigh, I guess I have to go through this mess to find what's going on..."

 

She dashed through the hazards with ease, avoiding the fire shooting from the lava pits and circling around the lines of fire that were moving clockwise. She kept flying through the castle, finding more fire obstacles on the way. Dash was beginning to get bored when she reached what it seemed to be end of said castle. She stopped briefly as a shot of fire nearly hit her. Dash avoided more fire projectiles as they increased in number and continued flying forward, trying to find out who was shooting at her. She found herself in front of what it appeared to be a bridge, and on top of it, a huge turtle-like monster with red mane and spiked shell. He breathed another ball of fire at her, which she dodged with ease. Rainbow then narrowed her eyes and confronted the beast.

 

"Okay you can stop that now! I don't know why everything here keeps attacking me, but I won't put up with it! Now tell me how I can get out of this crazy place! That is, if you can even speak anyway..."

 

The huge turtle stopped breathing fire at her and then just looked at her. He then crossed his arms.

 

"Hm...no. I don't think I will tell you anything. You just gonna have to be scorched the way anyone gets when they try to get past me."

 

"What? Why would you do to anyone anyway? Hey!"

 

Rainbow was now facing something other than fire. The creature began tossing iron hammers her way, arching over and trying to knock her off the air. Rainbow Dash growled and flew towards the creature, dodging fire and hammers as she dashed past him. She landed on the other side near a glowing axe besides the ropes holding the bridge. The turtle turned around and his eyes bulged when he saw her there. Rainbow raised her eyebrow and then looked at the axe, putting two and two together, she picked up the axe and had a vicious grin on her face, looking back at

the turtle creature who then gulped.

 

"Uh...wait! We can work something out; just DON'T cut off the rope..."

 

"Aw I think it's a bit too late for that, chump. Happy landing!"

 

With that she brought down the axe to the rope and the monster screamed, falling into the lava below and disappearing with an audible hiss. Rainbow tossed the axe away and let out a breath of relief. Realizing there was nothing else to do; she turned and continued walking further the chamber she now was in. She found what it looked like a tiny person wearing a huge hat that looked like a mushroom. She wondered now what was with this place and mushrooms. As soon as she neared it, the odd looking person bounced in a cheerful manner and rushed towards her.

"Thank you Mario! But the Princess is in another castle!"

 

"What? Who are you referring to, I am not "Mario", and what do you mean the Princess is in another castle? Do you mean Princess Celestia or Luna?"

 

"Thank you Mario! But the Princess is in another castle!"

 

"You said that already. Look, I am just trying to find my way out of here; do you know how I can do that?"

 

"Thank you Mario! But the Princess is in another castle!"

 

"AARGH! Why you little-"

 

Rainbow Dash opened her eyes with a start. She groaned as she stood up from the floor, knocking away the videogame controller she had between her hooves. She sat upright blinking at the television screen as she saw the GAME OVER on it.

 

"Aw pony, this is the last time I eat enormous amounts of junk food while playing Ponyntendo. Just how the hay did I fell asleep so easily? Thank Celestia it was all a dream. Hm...this dream made me hungry though, I wonder if there's any pizza left."

 

She searched over a pizza box on the floor near her and opened it up. She looked at the toppings revealing among other things, a series of mushrooms on the leftover slices. Rainbow Dash's eyes narrowed.

 

"I HATE mushrooms!" she screamed as she tossed the box with the leftover pizza out of the window, hitting Pinkie Pie on the face as she tried to fly over Dash's home using her flying contraption.

 

"Ooh, pizza! I LOVE mushrooms!" she said as she started munching on a slice that was on her face.
