Rock is powered off on a tree branch in sweet apple acres when AJ and AB walk up to the tree. "Ready?" AJ asks Applebloom. She nods and walks to the other side of the tree.
"3..2..1.. NOW" Applebloom yells as AppleJack bucks the tree with her hind legs causing the hull thing to shake. Rock's eyes snap open just to meet with the dirt. He pushes himself off the ground and stands up.
"You know you didn't have to do that, a good wake up would have done just fine," Rock says dusting himself off.
"Ya... but it would have been less fun," Applebloom says walking over to her big sister and hoove bumping. "besides, you promised me and the other crusaders you would tech us citrate!" Applebloom says jumping up and down in excitement.
"O, ya I guess I forgot," Rock says gesturing for her to lead the way.
"Citrate Cutey mark her we come!" Applebloom yells bouncing ahead of Rock.
"What for me!" Rock yells running after her. AJ chuckles to her self and shakes her head.
"Well, I better get a move on dinner," AJ says turning around and beggings the treck back to the barn.
"ow," Sweetie belle says holding her for hoove.
"Are you all right Sweetie?" Rock says running over to her. He can hear the other two crusaders trying to suppress a laugh. "Note to self, don't use Sweetie belle's nic name," He thinks as he looks at her hooves. "It's just a little bruise, you'll be fin," He says smiling to her.
"I'll just watch for now ok," Sweetie says letting her hooves down. Rock notes and walks over to the other CMC.
"Ok, that's it for today..."
"Come on," AB and Scootalo say giving Rock the puppy eyes.
"Because it's getting dark, and frank I'm running on low power," Rock says starting to walk away.
"Can you at least walk us back to the barn?" Scotto asks. Rock does an about-face and starts walking towards the barn.
"Now that I can do," He says as the CMC fallow in close pursuit.
Back at the library
Dash walks down the stairs to the "lab" Twilight has made in the basement. She sees Twilight tampering with some sort of Megabuster.
"Hay twilight, what that?" Dash asks looking at the thing.
"It's a new Mega Buster for Rock, He will be able to charge is attacks faster," She explains to Dash, at that moment a loud beeping noise goes off.
"What the hay is that?!" Dash asks as Twilight walks over to her computer.
"It's Rock, he's in trouble," Twilight says floating the Megabuster over to her.
"Who the hay does he need help with?" Dash looks at the monitor and her ears drop. "no, not him, We need to get to him right now!" Dash yells flying out of the lab and out the door. Twilight grabs the Megabuster and teleports away.
Rock and the CMC were walking through the apple orchard chatting when someone stops them in their path.
"Hello, Megaman," Gutman says smiling wickedly. The 3 fillies take a step back.
"Run!" Rock yells as he turns into Megaman. The CMC run behind a nearby tree.
"This is going to be fun," The big hunk of metal. He looks like a bodybuilder... if robots could be bodybuilders.
"You will pay for what you did to my friends last time," Megaman says charging his mega buster. Gutman picks up a rock and throws it at Megaman. He doges out of the way and fires a blast at Gutman who easily sidesteps the attack.
"You will have to do better than that," Gutman says as Twilight appears 5 feet from Megaman.
"Here! Cach!" Twilight yells throwing the new Megabuster. Megaman takes it and replaces the old mega buster with the new.
"All right! a new mega buster... Now twi get out of her!" He yells, but before she can do anything Gutman runs at full speed slamming into twilight sender her spiraling across the ground. "TWILIGHT! now you've done it!" Megaman charges an attack and shoots it off. It bounces harmlessly off Gutman.
"I got an up grad sens the last time I saw you," He replay picking up a full tree. Specifically, the one the CMC where hiding behind. The 3 fillies scream and run to another tree. Gutman then swings the tree at Megaman.
"o boy, this is going to be bad," He thinks as the tree slams into the side of his head.
Dash is flying over the orchard when she spots the 3 CMC running away from something. She looks further up the path to see Gutman slamming a tree into Megaman's head.
"you little bich," Dash whispers going into a full-fledged dive, letting gravity take over. When she gets close to the ground, she puls up letting her wings out. When she gets close to Gutman, she turns around and slams her back hooves into Gutsman's head. Sending him flying and slamming into the ground. There is a huge dent in his head. She then proceeds to hit Gutman over and over till she's out of energy.
"I think he's dead," Twilight says, getting up from Gutman's attack.
"I was just making sure he was down," Dash says trotting over to Megaman. He has a big dent in his head and part of his suit is damaged.
"I'll get him back to the lab," Twilight says getting her teleportation spell ready. "He'll be ok," She whispers as she TP's away with Rock.
"I should probably get Gutman to the lab," Dash thinks slinking him over her back. "This is going to be hard," Dash thinks, taking off into the night sky. "Why is this Robot so heave,"
Back at The Lab
Twilight has fixed the dent in Rock's head and is now repairing his suit. Rainbow Dash walks down the stirs with Gutman on her back.
"You need this guy Twilight?" Dash asks dropping the Robot onto the floor.
"Yes, Thank Dash," She says floating the Robot onto a table. "You can go home, Rock will be back up and running again tomorrow, with some series side of a head ace," Twilight says going back to work on the suit.
"Ok," Dash says flying out of the library and to her cloud house. She enters and walks up the stairs. She turns a corner and walks down the hallway. She then stops and opens the door to her room. She closes it behind her and crashes onto her bed.
The scene when Rock was smashed with the tree played over and over in Dash's dreams. She opens her eyes crying. She wipes the tears from her eyes.
"I need to get this out of my head," She thinks getting out of bed. She looks out the window to her balcony. She walks out onto it enjoy the morning breeze. Her wing opens up and she takes off into the morning sky.
She lands a few feet from the building she was looking for. The bare is a small building at the edge of pony vill. She opens the door to expect nothing special, but when she enters she sees Rock sitting by the bare. The bartender was Ross Bud, she is a red mare with a wight, curly mane, they are chatting and haven't noticed that Dash had walked in.
"And that's why I don't trust the stallions around her," Ross Bud says finishing up her story. Rock nodes in agreement.
"Ya, Twilight, Spike, and I went to the pitcher shop down the street and almost got scammed out of 20 bites, Thankfully the family before us stopped us," Rock explains as Ross Bud notices Dash.
"Hey Rainbow Dash!" Ross says waving Dash to come over. She walks over to them and site on a stole. "The usual," Ross says grabbing a cider from under the table. Rainbow Dash nodded in agreement.
"How you been Dash?" Rock asks leaning back on his stole.
"How I been! You scared me and twilight to death!" Dash yells flailing her legs every which way. "Manly me,"
Rock chuckles and shakes his head.
"Ya, well Gutman is fast and heavy... heck! I scared my self!" Rock says sitting up.
"How?" Dash asks siping on her cider.
"Well, at that moment I had to back up my memories just in case I got destroyed," He shakes his head. "And do you know how it feels to relive the same moment over and over again," Dash nods.
"Yes I do, I had a dream were I relived that moment over and over again. Not being able to help you," Dash says swirling her drink around. After a while, they start to ideally chat as the sun rises over the land of Equestria.
