She flew higher and higher. She had to pull this off, she HAD to. Her entire reputation, the drive behind her life was on the line. She streaked to the sky, air growing thinner and thinner as she surged through the troposphere. Eyes watering, breath labored, a grey haze edging at the corner of her vision. And then suddenly darkness.
Her body stalled. The pegasus had blacked out. Dash's body twisted at an odd angle, falling back upon itself as she fell, no consciousness to right her dizzying spin downward. As she streaked through the center of the colloseum, everypony knew something was wrong. The Wonderbolts quickly leapt into action, surging down after the free-falling filly - but it was too far, too late. Falling from such a height...her form having already reached terminal velocity as gravity sucked her lifeless form downward. Maverick, the leader of the Wonderbolts, strained hard against the whipping turbulence around him, wings pumping harder and faster. But it was too late. She was out of reach, and there was no way they'd be able to catch up to her. He pulled up hard, watching as Dash's body twisted and turned in the air.
Her eyes fluttered open, the sensation of air rushing around her surrounding her senses. Of howling wind, and the wide, green expanse that was rapidly approaching. Her mind registered it for only the briefest of seconds, before she slammed headfirst into the ground of Equestria, a dull thud echoing over the hills. They said she didn't feel any pain. That her death was instantaneous. It was a hollow consolation to the crowd, and even hollower still to her friends. |
