 However , Rainbow Dash is still apart from the group and without her , the Elements will not activate . They find Rainbow Dash protecting a cloud , believing it to be her home of Cloudsdale . They start to give chase , but Rainbow flies away . They quickly use a hot @-@ air balloon , pulled along by Fluttershy , to catch up to Rainbow . At first , it seems that Rainbow has the upper hand , but as soon as Twilight reminds Fluttershy that if she gets away Discord will win , Fluttershy puts on an enormous burst of speed and the ponies eventually catch Rainbow and manage to tie her down long enough for Twilight to cast her memory spell . The ponies share a hug before remembering that Ponyville is still under Discord 's influence .
