Who is faster?

      A new day has come. As Princess Twilight promised, she and her devoted student Starlight organized a racing race in Ponyville. But not just a racing race, but a race between Rainbow Dash and her double and other fastest runners from parallel worlds, which aroused everyone’s interest and all the residents of Equestria rushed in droves to Ponyville to watch this race. All the ponies came galloping from the Crystal Empire, Canterlot, Pon-Hatten, and even the buffalos, along with Thorax's changelings and the dragons led by Amber and Spike. What's there? Besides them, among the spectators there were also other guests from parallel worlds, who were also invited to this world at the request of the competition participants, who were invited to this world for a race. Among the spectators were, oddly enough, the Parr family in their red and black matching superhero costumes and masks on their faces, cheering for their son. Since he won in an ordinary sport, then in a race between the fastest, who runs as fast as himself, he certainly should win. There were also Lord Hater and Lord Dominator, who were holding two signs in their arms. Hater held a sign that read, “Die, Wander!”, and Dominator held a sign that read, “Y’all, lose!” Also among the spectators were Arsus in the guise of a bear in pants, who was holding a sign with the inscription “Go-run, Khan!”, and next to him were Ler and Ksenia, who waved their hands to Khan and cheered for him. On their side was Dr. Eggman, who was holding a sign that said “Sonic, Loser!”, and next to him was Amy Rose, who was holding a sign with hearts and the words “I love you, Sonic! You will defeat them all!” Nearby stood the Apple family and Pinkie Pie, who, oddly enough, were rooting for their Rainbow Dash and holding a sign that read “For Rainbow Dash!” Also among the spectators was the Scarlet Witch, holding a sign with the inscription “For Brother!”, and next to her stood Anti-Flash and Batman hugging Superman. The first one held a sign that said “I will kill you, Barry,” and the other held a sign that said “If you lose, I’ll kick you out of the League.” Magnetto stood at Superman's side, holding a sign that read, “For my son!” As well as Rouge the Bat and Omega, who were cheering for Shadow while holding a sign saying "Team Dark Forever!" Next to Princess Twilight stood Princess Kaydenz hugging her daughter, Shining Armar and Flash Sentry. And also Princesses Celestia and Luna. Also among the fans was Discord, who raised his fist and shouted: — FLUTTERSHY WILL WIN!!! The competition participants waved their hands in greeting to all their spectators and their fans, respectively. True, among the participants in the running competition there was also Fluttershy, who, like the two Rainbow Dashs, also had her wings tied so that she tried to run, and not fly and fly around everything in a straight line, as any rogue would do. — Fluttershy, why are you participating too? You don't seem to be fast, like the rest of us. — said Rainbow from this world. — I know. I just want to be a participant too. Still, for me the main thing is not victory, but simply participation in the game. Unlike all of you. — Fluttershy explained. — As you want! — Rainbow didn’t argue with her. — Guys, I'll be honest. You all have no chance against me. Because I became a superhero under communism in the Soviet-Kazakh Union and was trained in secret Russian military laboratories. In part I am also considered Russian, and Russians never give up. — Khan boasted. — We’ll see about that later, kazakh. — Flash from the expanded universe grinned, confident of his victory. — I won’t lose to all of you, because I was trained by Batman himself. — And my dad trained me. — Dash boasted. — Although, unlike me, he is not the fastest. It's more on the topic of beyond physical strength. And who taught you to run, Barry number two? The Second Flash was lost in memories of when he first learned to run. Then he had just created his first suit, but he did not yet have the abilities. Anti-Flash then easily handed out bream to him. Remembering this terrible night, he replied: — Uh... It's better for you not to know about this! — I’ve been like this since birth. — said Sonic. — Is it true? Me too. — Answers Quicksilver from the X-Men universe. — And I received this ability from one glowing stone from a certain scepter and was a guinea pig at the Hydra base along with my sister. — explained the other Quicksilver. — You feel good. You have a sister, but I don’t have one. — the first Mercury was upset. — Okay, stop boasting about your powers, guys. It's time for us to start. — Rainbow says from this world. — I agree, I’m second. — another Rainbow from the human world supported her. All the runners stood on the starting white line and prepared to accelerate. — Well? Is everyone ready? — Rainbow asked from this world, to which her counterpart from the human world replied: — Always ready. — I’m always ready too. — Sonic answers. — Let's see. — Shadow answers gloomily. You all have no chance against me. — Zbornak boasted. — The main thing is to try not to hurt them, Sil. As agreed. — Her best friend and rider told her sternly. — Let's do it! — says Khan and throws his swords from his back to the side so as not to accidentally attack anyone or injure anyone with his weapon while running. All participants stood on all fours at the white line and prepared to run at the signal that Starlight Glimer would give them: — And so, competition participants. Your task is to run around our entire Equestria at your super speeds in one hour and, having bypassed it, return back here to the finish. Five... Four... Three... Two... One... START!!! All participants immediately took off like a bullet in one millisecond. Everyone except Fluttershy, who galloped slowly along the path and decided not to rush anywhere. — GO, FLUTTERSHY!!! CATCH THEM!!! — Pinkie Pie shouted, switching from supporting Rainbow Dash to Fluttershy and even blaring her horn at the top of her lungs, which almost made Lord Hater, who was standing in front of her, deaf. — AUCH!!! HEY!!! — he shouted at her, his scary green eyes sparkling. — Oops. Sorry, buddy. — Baring her teeth in the form of a smile, she apologized, and the skeletor scratched her ear with her index finger. If he has them, of course. All the runners ran as fast as they could and had already left Ponyville, finding themselves in the evergreen forest and running over the water without plunging into it. The Flash from the Expanded Universe was ahead so far, but fell a little behind, allowing Quicksilver from the X-Men Universe and Quicksilver from the Marvel Cinematic Universe to overtake him. Behind him, at this time, Dash somehow, thanks to his non-heating super suit, first overtakes Shadow, who again overtakes the boy, and then both of them are overtaken by Sonic. Then Quicksilver from the X-Men universe decided to lag behind a little and moves back, allowing Shadow and Dash to overtake him. Sylvia and Wander, sitting on her back, and Shadow and Dash, who are together behind, stand between Quicksilver from the Avengers and Flash from the League. At this moment, the remaining two Rainbow Dash, one from this world and the other from the human world, also accelerated as much as they could and stood between Selvia and Sonic. — Guys, where is Fluttershy? — asked Rainbow Dash from Equestria Girls. — Yes, he’s probably lagging behind. — suggested Flash from another universe.

At the same time

      Fluttershy, too, had already galloped through the forest and continued to rejoice and smile. Finding herself in an evergreen forest, she began to sing to herself so that she would not be so afraid.

Back to the runners!

      The others, already far away from her, continued to run without her. — Okay, let him sit very far behind us! — Sylvia answered. Quicksilver from the X-Men accelerates as best he can and overtakes the others. — Bye, losers! — he mockingly tells them and at that moment Khan himself appears from the air on his side, running at his same speed next to him. — Do not forget! You are running against the wind, and the wind is my element. That's why many people call me — fast, like the wind. — Fi! — Quicksilver grinned. — So you run at the speed of the wind? Very funny. I can also say that I will fall with the speed of the wind onto the sofa and simply without my super-fast speed, slowly, like all mortals, I will fall onto the sofa. This will be the wind speed. — Don’t underestimate my ability to move quickly, like the wind. — Khan answers him and suddenly disappears from view in the wind. He appeared in front of him again a millisecond later and tripped him. Pietro tripped and fell onto the path. Thus, he fell behind his comrades. However, he did not give up. Getting to his feet, he inserted a disc with his favorite songs into his player, turned it on and put on his headphones. From the author: Read on to the song “X Ambassadors — BOOM” — Well, now hold on! — he said, suddenly everything around him slowed down and he ran twice as fast as himself. ♪ My feet go boom boom boom ♪ ♪ Boom boom boom, boom boom boom ♪ ♪ My heart beats boom boom boom ♪ ♪ Boom boom boom, boom boom boom ♪ ♪ High speed, go zoom zoom zoom ♪ ♪ Zoom zoom zoom, zoom zoom zoom ♪ ♪ My feet go boom boom boom ♪ ♪ Walkin' away from you ♪ He catches up to them and runs between Sonic and Shadow. — Well, you run fast, dude! — Wander was surprised. — Jealous? Look what else I can do. — he said and overtook Khan himself, finding himself in first place, and began to brag about how cool he is when he runs to the music. He can run backwards, without even seeing where he is running and without fear that he might crash somewhere, he runs excellently on one left leg, then the right, with his eyes closed, straight, without even seeing where he is running and downwards into the bargain. heads in hands. — Just think! If you can do it, then I can do it too. — Quicksilver from the Avengers began to boast. — Yah! — Khan grinned. — Don’t cook? Now I'll prove it! — said the new braggart and first of all he also began to run backwards. — Do you see? I can run backwards and... — then he tried to run on one leg, but alas, he couldn’t resist, tripped and fell. — So you got there, brother! his X-Men counterpart shouted to him, also bragging about how he could also run on one arm. — So, I'm tired of this poser. — Shadow said. — Let's hit him hard! — Sonic suggested, holding out his hand. Shadow gave him a friendly handshake and they joined together forming a huge lump with two colors of blue black and red, referencing the Chinese sign of yin and yang. In this state, they rolled very quickly and hit Quicksilver so hard that the latter flew into the air, hung there for a couple of seconds, and then fell. A crunch and he broke his leg. — Ay! How painful! — he groaned, holding the wounded woman. His double from the Avengers comes running to him and asks: — What, is your eyesight failing? — asked and ran ahead of him. And he stretched out his hand and shouted: — HEY, WAIT FOR ME!!! After such a blow, Sonic and Shadow separated again and ran further on their own. Khan, in turn, teased them by running at their own speeds next to them and sometimes using teleportation and disappearance in the wind while running. He was either on the sides of them, then in front, then behind. — No one can catch up and catch the wind. Even you, super-fast ones. — he said mockingly and disappeared from sight altogether. — This kazakh is starting to get on my nerves. — said Expanded Universe Flash. — No, he is a good opponent. But we have a secret weapon. — said the other Flash. Both Flashes, having caught up with each other, begin to run as equals, combine their efforts and strike Khan with strong lightning, sending him into the sky, and even convulsing from the electric current. — Bye-bye, breeze! — Hm. And you are truly worthy opponents. But we also have a secret weapon. — Sonic boasted and Shadow took out a green Chaos Emerald from the needles on his head. He extends his hand with the emerald to his side, allowing Sonic to touch his hand with the emerald, and then they simultaneously say as they run: — CHAOS CONTROL!!! — they shouted, there was a flash, and then they disappeared, leaving no trace. — I didn’t expect this. — said Dash. At that moment, he was overtaken by Quicksilver from the Avengers. — Hey, that's not fair! — Barry, I have an idea on how to catch up with these hedgehogs. Let's stop. — The other Flash said to his League counterpart and they both stopped in their tracks. — So what's the plan? — Flash from the League asked, and his double touched his shoulders and lightning began to emanate from his body into the body of the one he touched. — What are you doing? — I learned this trick from another Barry from another universe. He robs the other Flashes of their speed ability in order to become faster. And I temporarily transfer my speed to you so that you can run twice as fast as you. — Wait, what about you? — Flash from the League began to worry. — Don't worry about me. The main thing for me is that at least you win this race. So win it for both of us! — asked the other Flash. — Okay, but I won’t forget about you later. — Flash from the League answers and rushes away from this place like a bullet. The other Flash was left to stand alone in this place and speak to himself: — Well. Since I'm no longer super-fast, now I only have to do one thing. Walk through these beautiful areas and admire the beauty of this dimension. — he said to himself and slowly walked along the path. And that Flash at that time had already overtaken two Rainbow Dashs, Sylvia with Wander, Quicksilver from the Avengers, Khan from the Defenders, who returned to them from the air, and Dash from The Incredibles, and then began to catch up with Sonic and Shadow. — I won’t give up so easily, hedgehogs. — he told them. — Ah well! Fine! You've finished your game. — Sonic said, took out a ring from the needles on his head and threw it forward. — Now I’ll open a portal to the finish line and run there first. — he added out loud and discreetly winked at the black-scarlet one so that he would not fall for this trick. — But I’ll get there before you. — Flash stated and accelerated even more. The golden ring formed a portal and as soon as Flash immediately ran there, the portal disappeared from sight, and Sonic and Shadow calmly ran on. Flash came out of the portal in the form of a ring much behind them, where they had already run before. He didn’t understand what had happened and looked around, seeing Quicksilver from the X-Men crawling along the path next to him and muttering to himself crawling: — Hush... You're going... Damn... You'll crawl... Flash rolled his eyes, took his competitor from another company, laid him on his back, like a real soldier saving his comrade, and ran on. Except that because of his opponent’s weight, he began to run a little slower.
