Thursday morning/Canterlot hospital

Rainbow Dash has just woken up at eight in the morning, she thought that what just happened was just a terrible nightmare but alas she remembered that it wasn't. As she gets out of bed Rainbow Dash makes her way to the front office to get her prescription. Normally she would have breakfast to start her day, but she just wanted to get out of the hospital. Rainbow just wants to go home, but since that she has only her right wing she won't be able to go back to her home Cloudsdale. She'll need help from her friends to find her a new home because of this.

Now that Rainbow is an amputee, she would be classed as an earth pony from now one, that's until she decides to get a prosthetic wing. As Rainbow makes her way to the front office, there is a nurse behind the desk expecting her. Rainbow walks up to the desk and she says "Hi um.. I'm here to check out of the hospital."

"Name?" asked the mare

"Rainbow Dash." Answered the Pegasus. The nurse then gave the mare a piece of paper for Rainbow to sign. "Sign here please." commanded the nurse as she points to the paper. It was lucky that Rainbow Dash writes with her right wing otherwise she would find it difficult to write with her mouth, when she finished writing her name the nurse gave Rainbow dash her prescription. Her prescription was a special kind of painkiller that stops her from feeling phantom pain in her left wing, Rainbow sighed grabbed her prescription and walked out to the front door.

Soon she met up with her friend Twilight Sparkle who was waiting to take her to Canterlot castle where she and her friends will be staying temporally. "Rainbow i'm so glad your alright. How are you feeling?" asked Twilight

"Don't worry Twilight I'm fine." Rainbow lied. The reason why she lied is because she did not want her friend to worry about her, especially since Twilight has other things to worry about like these green giants that are attacking Equestria. Twilight looked at her friend in worry, she wanted to make sure that Rainbow Dash was okay so she asked "Are you sure you're fine? You just got your left wing removed and so you wont be able to f-" Before Twilight could finish her sentence Rainbow interrupted her and said "Twilight I'm fine, okay? There's nothing you need to worry about okay."

Twilight sighed and then nodded in agreement, but she still worried about her friend. Before Twilight could teleport her and Rainbow Dash, the Wonderbolts arrived. This included Spitfire, Soarin and Cloudkicker. "Well well well, if it isn't the best flyer in all of Equestria..... or was." joked Spitfire. Cloudkicker laughed along with Spitfire.

"Guys, don't you think that's rude considering what shes just been through?" stated Soarin.

"Come on Soarin. It's just a joke. It's not as if it's hurting anypony." protested Cloudkicker.

The two Wonderbolts continued to laugh. Meanwhile, Soarin flew away from the two Wonderbolts bullying Dash because he knew it wasn't right but he didn't want to get kicked out of the Wonderbolts. Ignoring that Soarin flew away, Spitfire continued to bully the cyan Pegasus. "Haha you know Crash, I thought that you were indestructible from all those times you crashed into stuff. But I was wrong and all it took was a school roof to break it. Hahahahahaha!" laughed Spitfire.

"Where were you?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me! I said where were you when giants attacked Ponyville!?" Rainbow repeated.

"Um... We were at a Wonderbolts stunt show... in Fillydelphia when it all happened." answered Spitfire "But you have to understand it's all for our reputation. Plus Ponyville was far away to fly  from there."

"You were fast enough to get there and you know it!" Stated Rainbow Dash.

"We were in the middle of the show! We didn't want to disappoint our fans!"

"Yeah, but you should've been more responsible and helped Ponyville evacuation."

"That doesn't matter anymore! Besides, all this was all your fault in the first place. Yeah that's right. I've heard what the ponies have been telling me. You tell us to be responsible when it was you who should've bee-" Before spitfire could finish her sentence Rainbow Dash slapped her across the face with her hoof. "At least I made up for my mistakes and helped evacuate Ponyville. Unlike you who just stayed in Fillydelphia to do a stunt show!! I can't believe I joined the Wonderbolts, because all you guys care about are yourselves!!!" Rainbow Dash shouted.

After that Twilight walked over to Rainbow Dash to try and calm her down. "Rainbow please try to stay calm. They may kick you out of the Wonderbolts." Said Twilight.

"Twilight, it was obvious that they came to kick me out in the first place. I mean why else would they come. now.... Can you please take me to the castle?" Asked Rainbow Dash, who was still angry at herself and the Wonderbolts. Then Twilight thought that she would be able to calm her down when they get to the castle and so they teleported.

Canterlot castle / guest bedroom

Twilight and Rainbow appeared in a guest bedroom that is meant for Rainbow Dash. The room is empty but theirs plans to temporarily move her things here, this is the same for the rest of Twilight's friends. Rainbow is really mad although she is glad that she is no longer with the wonderbolts but this doesn't change the fact that there selfish jerks that rather do a stunt show than save Ponyville. "Rainbow you need to calm down and tell me what's wrong." commanded Twilight.

"Whats wrong? Oh, I'll tell you whats wrong. The fact that I've lost my wing and no longer able to fly again is one of the things that wrong!" explained Rainbow. "Not only that, but apparently it's your fault that I've lost it."

"Hey it's not my fault I used a weaker spell. I used up all of my magical energy trying to get everypony to safety." explained Twilight.

"Well, why didn't you save some of that energy to properly heal me?!" asked Rainbow.

"How was I supposed to know that you would be injured?" Twilight responded.

"Because Twilight, you are an alicorn and they know everything! Maybe you and your kind should get your head out of those books and actually help in these world ending events!"

"Are you saying because I'm an alicorn I'm not helpful?" asked Twilight.

"EXACTLY!!!" shouted Rainbow Dash

Twilight started to shed tears. Those hurtful things that Rainbow Dash had just said, they weren't like her. Usually she is loyal and cheerful, but ever since she came out of the hospital she has changed. After realizing what she did, Rainbow Dash suddenly felt really guilty. "Twi, I'm-" before she could apologise Twilight teleported away from her. Rainbow Dash, for the second time this week, started to cry again. She felt that if she didn't find Twilight and apologise to her, she might lose one of her best friends.

Meanwhile in Simon's room

Simon was just waking up when he heard the argument from his room. His room was across Rainbow Dashs room and her room was next to Luna's gaming room (but they don't know that yet). Simon got up from his bed and got dressed in the cloths he wore yesterday, the only thing he misses at this moment is a toothbrush his breath may stink all day.

Later, he heard a knock on his door. Luckily he is dressed at the moment, so he tells them to "Come in." The door opened and revealed Twilight Sparkle. She looked like she had just finished crying. Simon, however, thought nothing of it. "Sorry I'm late. I was just helping somepony." The mare said. "It's alright. I just woke up anyway." Simon told Twilight.

The purple alicorn walked straight into Simons room, came up to him and said "Alright listen. I'm supposed to teach you about space, but i'm going to be busy helping the victims of yesterdays incident with the giants." explained Twilight.

"Twilight, those 'giants' are called Graze mobile suits, so for now on please call them Grazes or mobile suits." Simon stated.

"Right, those 'mobile suits' have gotten a lot of ponies hurt when they attacked our home, so could you please help me help them?" Requested Twilight.

"Alright, but this also means that you teach me. Right?" asked Simon "Sure. You just have to listen and maybe you can teach me about the mobile suits." Twilight replied.

"You got yourself a deal." said Simon

Canterlot market

Simon and Twilight were helping the victims of the Ponyville attack, they were at the market were it has turned into a camp that had the citizens of Ponyville in. There weren't that many ponies helping them, of course. Some of the guards were helping but none of the nobles even lifted a hoof to help them. The only nobles that were helping were a white unicorn with a blue mane, moustache and a tuxedo and another white unicorn that had a pink mane and was wearing makeup. She seemed to always be with the other unicorn.

"How come aren't other ponies helping them?" Simon asked.

"Well, lets just say that the ponies here in Canterlot are assholes! Pardon my Griffonese." explained Twilight. "It doesn't take much to help these poor ponies. I mean, the only nobleponies that are helping are Fancypants and Fleur De Lis. They are doing this because they're nice."

"I see." said Simon. 'What the hell is Griffonese?' Simon thought.

In the camps Twilight and Simon found three fillies one orange the other yellow and the last one white, They seemed to be bored out of there minds until they saw Simon. The three fillies came up to Simon with curious looks on their faces "Excuse me, mister? What are you?" asked the yellow filly.

"I am an evil warlord who is here to enslave you and become king of a nation" joked Simon

The three fillies faces are deadpanned, they knew that he was joking but it wasn't really a good joke. "Wow Simon you perfectly described King Sombra." said Twilight.

"Simon's your name mister? It sounds weird." said the orange filly.

"Well, so is Sombra. But you don't hear me complain." stated Simon.

"Touché, but you still didn't answer our question." said the orange filly.

"I am a human." said Simon.

With that question answered there was something on Simon's mind that made him confused. Those little ponies have tattoos on there butts. It's not just them though that had tattoos. All the ponies that he met had tattoos, so he asked a question to these fillies "Aren't you a bit young to have tattoos?" The three ponies looked at each other and they asked at the same time "What tattoos?"

"The ones on your um...flanks" he explained but he thought that was the most awkward question that he had ever asked and hopes that he'll never ask again.

"Oh those... they're our cutie marks" the white unicorn told Simon.

"Oh, um... okay. Is that normal for you?" Simon asked.

"Why yes and it shows what our special talents are." the yellow one explained.

This weirdly made sense for Simon. He then noticed that these three fillies had the same cutie mark, just with something different inside each of them, but they still resemble a shield. "You girls have the same talent then... May I ask who you are and what you lot do?" Simon asked.

"Well then. Prepare for trouble!"

"And make it triple!"

"To help colts and fillies discover their talent,"

"And stop anypony who want to prevent us!"

"Scootaloo"

"Sweetiebelle"

"and Applebloom"

"We are the cutie mark crusaders,"

"And we never turn our back on anypony in need!"

"Eeyup, that right!"

'They practiced this.' Simon thought it was obvious that pokemon exists in this world judging by the way they did Team Rockets motto just slightly different. "So then, do pokemon exist in this world?" asked Simon. The fillies had confused looks on their faces. "What the hay is pokemon?" asked Applebloom. This was extremely weird. If pokemon don't exist in this world, then how did they know that motto?

"Um, never mind. How about you three help the injured children?" Simon told the Crusaders.

"Alright then." said Sweetie Belle, and with that the three fillies walked away to help the injured. "Simon are you going to help me or not!" yelled Twilight and so Simon and Twilight start to help all the injured ponies, they were hesitant because of Simon but they did let him treat their wounds.

One hour later

"Listen Twilight. No matter what you say, you are still wrong." proclaimed Simon

"Simon, it's the truth. The sun and the moon are controlled by Princess Celestia and Luna of every second, of every hour, of every day!"

Those two had been at it for along time now. Basically after they had finished helping the injured, Twilight and Simon have been arguing over the basics of the solar system. Simon is really stubborn when it comes to this. Even though he believes he is correct, he is in fact wrong about this worlds solar system.

"But on my world our planet revolves around the sun and the moon orbits our planet." explained Simon.

"Simon, I swear to Faust if you don't listen to me, I might have a mental breakdown!"

Their argument was interrupted by a cyan Pegasus with a rainbow mane and only one wing. "Hey, um, Twilight? We need to talk..." Said the Pegasus.

"Oh, it's you." mumbled Twilight. Although Twilight was glad that somepony stopped her and Simon from arguing about the solar system, she didn't want to see Rainbow Dash due to those mean things she said. "What do you want Rainbow?" asked Twilight.

"I wanted to apologize for what I said about you. I have no excuse, and it was a terrible thing to say. I'm sorry." Rainbow apologized but Twilight was still mad Rainbow. Either that or she's still frustrated at Simon for being an stubborn idiot. "Rainbow what you said at the castle actually hurt my feelings." said Twilight

"I know Twi, and I wish that things could've turned out differently between us. I shouldn't have shouted at you. I feel horrible for doing that. We're still friends, right?"

Twilight knows she can't stay mad at her friend forever. It was just the one time, plus she just lost one of her wings in the attack on Ponyville. "Yes Rainbow, were still friends." responded Twilight. With that done Twilight and Rainbow hugged each other.

"You two need to get a room" said Simon. The two mares are shocked with what Simon said, Rainbow and Twilight would never want to be a couple. EVER. They're too different from each other. "I'm sorry but who are you?" asked Rainbow Dash in an annoyed tone. Simon recognized the pony. He knew that he saved her from dying in a town that was on fire. "I'm the guy who rescued you from yesterday." Simon told Rainbow.

"The names Simon by the way" Simon told Rainbow.

"You're an ass" said Rainbow Dash.

Before Simon could come up with a comeback, he heard a loud explosion coming from outside Canterlot. "What the hay was that?!" shouted Rainbow. "I don't know but lets check it out." said Simon.

Both ponies and Simon walked towards the sound of explosion which was outside the train station in Canterlot. What they saw was a mobile suit that looked like the Astaroth but It was mostly white with a bit of yellow, blue and red. It had a symbol on it's red shoulders, its eyes were green and it had a weapon that looked like a sword and a mace. "Simon, is this friend or foe?" asked Twilight

"Oh, it's a friend alright." answered Simon

"What is it?" Rainbow asked out of curiosity

"That Rainbow, is Barbatos... Barbatos Lupus." replied Simon.

"Well whatever it is, we need to move it to the castle immediately." demanded Twilight.

Simon, Twilight, and Rainbow Dash walked Towards the Devil of Tekkadan to get it moving, and that's when they noticed a post-it-note on its feet. How it survived is unknown. Simon took the post-it-note and it read.

"Dear Simon. I thought you might need a little help on your journey so I bought an old friend to assist you. Please give Barbatos to a pony named Rainbow Dash. She is a worthy pilot for Barbatos. From MR E"

When reading that note, Simon was confused. It sounded ridiculous. How can a pony pilot a mobile suit without the surgery to do it and how would she move the handles without hands. Never the less, he accepted the pilot. "Hey, um, Rainbow? How would you like to pilot Barbatos?" Simon asked.

Rainbow Dash smiled with excitement, her face says 'Yes I would LOVE to pilot Barbatos.' Twilight Sparkle however was sceptical about it. "Simon are you sure this is a good idea?" she asked. "Don't worry Sparkle. She'll be safe in there." Simon reassured.

"I'm sorry Simon, but I don't trust it. Besides there may not be another attack from those mobile suits." Twilight retorted.

Unfortunately, as soon as she said that a letter appeared in front of her. Twilight opened it and she read it out loud.

"Dear Twilight Sparkle. I regret to inform you, but can you bring Simon here? Manehattan is under attack by green giants and one red giant. Please hurry. From Celestia"

"You and your big mouth." Rainbow joked.
