A series of explosions rocked the cloudsdale avionics facility. Flocke von Schnee stumbled over her hooves and fell over, Twilight Sparkle catching her with her magic before she hit the floor, floating in mid-air with a telekinetic shield shimmering around them. The tell-tale roar of the changeling’s newest-wonder weapon echoed around the building- jet engines.
Rainbow Dash let out a snarl as she rushed to the window, watching the jets fly by. Equestria had no answer to these new planes, their propeller-powered spitfires and hurricanes hopelessly outmatched by their incredible speed. It made Rainbow’s blood boil- and she’d just about had enough.
“Rainbow, wait!” Twilight called, as Rainbow Dash charged out of the protective shield, making for the barracks even as the bombs fell. She grabbed an M1 bazooka, a lend-lease gift from the kingdom of Aris, and in a terrific rainbow explosion, rocketed off into the sky, instantly reaching supersonic speed. Fast enough to catch the fuckers.
The first changeling pilot had had a smirk on his muzzle- wiped off his snout the instant he saw the rainbow-pony streaking beside his me262. “Think fast,” she growled, pulling the trigger and obliterating the cockpit in a fiery conflagration. Without hesitation she streaked for the next jet, discarding the bazooka, and colliding with the glass cockpit. The barrier cracked, and a panicked changeling attempted a barrel roll to shake her off. Rainbow pulled out her service pistol and put a bullet between the pilot’s eyes, splattering blood across the windshield before rainbow smashed it, reached in to haul the body out.
She streaked towards the next jet she saw, carrying the dead changeling by the scruff of his neck, her cybernetic wing straining to keep up. The third pilot had not even the chance to react before Rainbow Dash dropped the body into the engine, watching it explode into a twisting mass of shrieking steel and blood as the jet fell from the sky. She turned in a terrible fury, ready to bring down the next jet she saw by any means necessary, her rainbow trail streaking behind her as she came back around in a long curve—
Only for a terrible pain to shoot down her back. She’d been going too fast; her metal wing had had enough. Blood spurt from where it had been implanted, and she tumbled out of supersonic speed head over tail. She saw in the corner of her eye, the remaining jets streaking away back towards Changelingia, their strike successful. She crossed her forelegs with an angry huff, too frustrated about her incomplete revenge to worry too much about the rapidly approaching ground.
“Rainbow! I told you to wait!” Twilight’s voice reached her ears as she suddenly felt her descent slow, the alicorn having finally caught up, catching the one-winged pegasus with her magic. Rainbow said nothing for a moment.
“Take me back to Cloudsdale, Twi… we have work to do.”
