** However, the Polish version of the episode averts this, as Rainbow clearly says that the tornado could have ''killed'' her friends. As if that wasn't enough, during her rant towards Spitfire, she describes Lightning's Dust attitude as "striving towards the goal over ''dead bodies''" (a Polish idiomatic expression which is an equivalent of "riding roughshed over somebody").

Things take a disastrous turn when Lightning Dust coerces Rainbow Dash into helping her make a tornado to speed up a cloud-busting exercise, only for the tornado to spin out of control. To make matters worse, the rest of the Mane Six happen to be taking a Twinkling Balloon ride nearby to deliver their friend a care package (at Pinkie Pie's insistence), and are sucked into the tornado.

Rainbow Dash then blows up at an indifferent Lightning Dust for constantly endangering everyone's safety with her carelessness.

After all it was her first offence and Rainbow got away with several offences that were at least just as bad.
