Main characters for the show don’t belong to me! Dusk and Sapphire Rush belongs to me! The thing at the end (not spoiling it for you all :P) belongs to Kinslayer023!
War of The Sky idea came from XemXemStar!
Okay pointing this out. This fic was published / started on February 3, 2013 (on DA it’s the 1st) and the movie came out on June 15, 2013. This was done long before the movie was even planned. So please do notreview/comment about how my Dusk sucks because this other pony (which I think they just throw him in for the hell of it) is canon.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
It was late morning and Rainbow Dash was pacing.
βWhere is she?β Dash asked as she looked in the sky for the millionth time.
Twilight sighed.
βShe’ll get here when she can,β she said.
βYeah Rainbow Dash,β pipped in Applejack, βor did you forget what she told us yesterday?β
Dash sighed and humphed.
βI remember,β she said.
Sapphire Rush had told them that she would had to make sure Prince Dusk would be fine without her for a few hours. Twilight turned to her home.
βI’ll be right back guys,β she said.
Twilight walked into her home.
βNow where is that book?β she asked.
She had found a book about a sky war between the sun sister and a couple. All four could control the sun and moon. She thought Dusk would find it interesting, so she decided to give it to Sapphire to give to Dusk.
βThat’s if I can find it first,β Twilight thought out loud.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
Pinkie Pie was staring up at the sky, watching for Sapphire. Dash was behind her, arguing with Applejack. Pinkie jumped up when she spotted a blue Pegasus with a white Alicorn.
βI see them!β she shouted bouncing, βI see them! I see them!β
The others looked at Pinkie.
βThem?β Rarity asked looking up at the sky, βIs that Prince Dusk?β
βI thought he was a black Alicorn,β Stated Fluttershy.
Sapphire and the white Dusk landed. The white Dusk smiled.
βHello again,β he said.
Everypony gasped.
βYou are Prince Dusk,β exclaimed Rarity, βbut you’re white.β
Dusk and Sapphire laughed.
βMy Prince changes color depending on weather the sun or moon is out,β Sapphire stated.
Everypony nodded in understanding. Dusk smirked.
βYou ready for the race?β Dash asked.
Sapphire smirked.
βOf coarse,β she said.
Dusk looked around as those two got into position.
Hm, he thought, Twilight must be busy some where. Best not disturb her.
Dusk looked back at the racers. Rainbow Dash was low to the ground while Sapphire was just standing straight up.
βOn your marks!β Applejack yelled, βGet set! Go!β
And they were gone with a blink of an eye. Dash looked behind her to see on far behind Sapphire. She smiled when she saw no pony.
βYou ho!β shouted somepony.
Dash’s eyes widen. She looked beside her to see Sapphire smiling at her.
βLooking for little old me!?β Sapphire shouted.
Dash’s jaw dropped for a moment before she smirked. She sped up, only to have Sapphire beside her again.
She must be fast to keep up with me, Dash thought, Cool! I’ve been waiting for a challenge like this!
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
Dusk smiled. Sapphire used her old trick on Rainbow Dash to get the smaller Pegasus’ hopes up. Sapphire flew above Dash at the start and waited for her to look for Sapphire so the captain could slip in beside her.
βOh Dusk you’re here,β said somepony behind him.
Dusk looked and smiled.
βAh Twilight,β he said, βI was wondering where you were at.β
Twilight blushed a little.
βOh,β she said as she floated a book out of her satchel. βI found this book in the palace some time ago and thought you might be interested in it.β
βWell let’s take a look,β said Dusk.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
No matter how many times Rainbow Dash sped up, Sapphire Rush was right there beside her. Sapphire laughed. Dash looked at her.
βWhat’s so funny?β she asked.
βIt’s just,β Sapphire began to answer, βI haven’t had this much fun in years.β
Dash smiled and went back to focusing on the race.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
βLook!β yelled Sweety Bell, βThey’re coming back!β
βGo Rainbow Dash!β Scootalou cheered.
The cutie mark crusaders had joined the others sometime ago. Everypony looked up. There was Dash’s rainbow streak and Sapphire’s blue on light blue streak.
βThey’re coming in for the landing!β Pinkie shouted.
With a huge gust if wind the two passed everypony. They landed a few feet away. Dash and Sapphire panted and looked over at Applejack.
βWho won?β Dash asked.
Applejack was in a daze.
βSis?β asked Applebloom.
βDid Rainbow Dash lose?β Sweety Bell asked.
βThat’s impossible!β shouted Scootalou, βno pony can beat Rainbow Dash. No pony can even t-β
βIt was a tie,β Applejack finally answered.
βWHAT!?β everypony shouted.
Dash looked at Sapphire as her jaw dropped. Sapphire just grinned.
βYou’re really fast Rainbow Dash,β she complemented, βfast enough to be a guard captain at Alamoria.β
Dash smiled.
βI would keep that in mind,β she said, βbut for now I want to try my best and fly with the wonder bolts.β
Sapphire smiled.
βI know, without a doubt, you’ll make it true,β she said.
Dash’s grin grew bigger. Sapphire looked around.
βNow where did Prince Dusk go?β she asked.
βOh he went into the library with Twilight,β answered Rarity, βsaid something about looking at a book.β
Sapphire goggled. Everypony looked at her. She waved them off.
βHow about you all show me around,β she said, βI would like to see what this place is like.β
Everypony smiled and nodded. They started leading her around.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
Twilight watched Dusk as he read the book she found. He’s face would change from happy to sad to mad and then back to sad. He laid the book down and looked away.
βI don’t want to read anymore,β he stated.
Twilight frowned and looked at the page he stopped on. The picture on the page showed an Alicorn that had one side white and the other black. It was casting a spell on the couple that was trying to win control over the sun and moon. Twilight looked back up at Dusk. He had a very guilty look.
βDusk…β she said.
Dusk turned to her and put a smile on his face.
βI’m fine,β he said, βjust a memory I try to forget.β
Twilight Blushed and nodded. Dusk’s smiles always makes her heart race. Dusk looked out the window in thought before turning back to Twilight.
βSo,β he started, βwhat is it like to be Celestia’s student?β
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
They had walked around Ponyville for a few hours before stopping at Sugar Cube Corner for something to eat. They were talking for a bit.
βSo the alliance between Alamoria and Equastria is weak?β Rarity asked, unsure about herself.
Sapphire nodded.
βThe older ponies think we shouldn’t be allies to Equistria,β she continued, βthe younger ponies think other wise. That’s why Prince Dusk forced all of the older ones to retire.β
βI bet they like to cause fights,β said Rainbow Dash.
βOh yes,β she said, βPrince Dusk had to threaten death to a few already.β
She looked up at the sky to see how far down the sun was.
βWe need to leave soon,β she stated, βwhere is the library again?β
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
When they got to the library they could hear Twilight laughing. Sapphire open the door.
βDid he really say that?β Twilight asked.
Dusk nodded.
βOh he did,β he said and looked over at the door, βhey Sapphire!β
Sapphire smiled and step a side to let the friends through.
βMy prince,β she said, βwe best be leaving if you wish to make it to your lunch appointment with Shining Armor and Princess Cadance.β
Twilight gasped.
βYou’re having lunch with my brother and sister-in-law?β she asked.
Dusk nodded.
βThey wanted to get to know me better,β he answered, βplus to talk about a possible alliance with the Crystal Kingdom.β
Dusk smiled at Twilight again. Her heart raced again.
βI’ll make sure to tell Shining that you said hi,β Dusk said before he stepped out of her home and stretched his wings, β ’till we meet again.β
βThanks for the workout,β Sapphire said with a wink at Dash, βand thanks for showing me around.β
βYou’re welcome!β beamed Pinkie.
They all waved at Dusk and Sapphire when they flew away.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
Green silted eyes looked at the image of Twilight and Dusk in an orb. The eyes narrowed at Twilight.
βSo you’re the one who hurt my sister and fouled her plans,β its voice said.
The image zoomed onto Dusk.
βIt seems you are interested in the Alamorian prince too,β the voice said, βhmm I have an idea.β
The mouth that spoke grinned, showing white, razor sharp teeth.
βA most evil idea,β it said.
It then laughed a most evil laugh.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
The lunch date will be in the next chapter and maybe the revile of the voice at the end :3 Also I made it a tie with Rainbow Dash because I want her to be fast, but not faster then Dash.
