Spitfire flew through the sky. 

These past few months had been anything but easy for her.

The Wonderbolts team had all lost one of their best flyers after all, Rainbow Dash.

Nopony really knew what had caused such events to transpire, all that was found was Rainbow’s charred body, which from the autopsy report showed that the cause of death was a fatal blast to the chest.

Ever since the rest of the Wonderbolts found out Spitfire felt like she had to pick up the slack. 

She knew her body wouldn’t last much longer if she continued to use it in such a way, but she had to try, she told herself it was what Dash would’ve wanted. 

She passed clouds as she soared overhead, picking up speed as she went.

She noticed that she was going...a little too fast. She should probably slow down, and yet for some reason she couldn’t, she couldn’t control her movements, her wings wouldn’t obey her commands anymore.

She could feel the skin on her face stretch and push back. She needed to stop! She needed to stop!

The skin on her face finally started to tear back revealing the muscle and bone beneath.

She screamed as loud as she could but nopony could hear her, she was going too fast.

She could feel the wind ripping her feathers straight out of her wings.

She was able to shed one tear as she approached the ground.

When she collided with the earth a massive explosion occurred.
