//------------------------------// // Fastest Pegasus Alive // Story: Earth 52 - Side Stories of Twilight Sparkle: Green lantern of Sector 2812 // by cornholio4 //------------------------------// Filthy Rich in his office toe up his newspaper, it told of the hero Supermare ruining what was supposed to be an operation to expand on his criminal resources, more chemicals to be used in his experiments. But Supermare foiled it; luckily he had managed to hide his involvement in it. While criminals such as the Cackler ran the organised crime of Ponyville during the night, during the day as long as he kept his operations small and not have him implicated he could be Ponyville’s daytime kingpin. Unfortunately Supermare with her meddling heroics was halting to that. He also had to worry about his daughter Diamond Tiara’s bullying and the reports he kept getting from her teacher Cheerilee. Honestly could she not understand her attitude will get her nowhere in the business world, especially since one of her victims is a member of the family who provides the jam that helps give them their lifestyle? Anyway he thought of a plan to combat Supermare, just yesterday she was saving some ponies when she came near some glowing green rock which made her sick until she got away from it. Filthy Rich discovered this element came from Coltron the planet Supermare said she was from, while having no effect on Equestrians, it was lethal to Coltronians like her. He decided to call this rock ‘Coltronite’ and managed to gather at least a dozen of the rocks that he could find. Then entered the Cloudsdale residents Billy Dumbbell, Hoops and Score who he asked to come here. Filthy Rich needed them to enact his new plan. *Break* Rainbow Dash was ready; she was testing this suit she got which was made from the same material used to make Wonderbolts uniforms. Except this one from the face mask to the boots, was mostly dark red with yellow goggles and a yellow lightning bolt. She wanted to test it earlier but she got sidetracked welcoming her old friend Fluttershy back to Ponyville after her disappearing for five whole years. “I am ready!” Dash said to herself hoping to pull off her signature “Sonic Rainboom” move! As she was starting her Sonic Rainboom a storm was starting to come together but Dash had not time to stop herself. *Break* Applejack as Supermare was flying around Ponyville when she saw three Pegasus thugs terrorising some ponies on Cloudsdale. She flew up to them and saying “You varmints might want to stop what you are doing?” The Pegasi laughed as Hoops said “not really Supermare, take a load of this!”. He then turned on the weather machine Filthy Rich gave them, designed to mess up a cloud’s pattern and it was powered by Coltronite. As the storm began Applejack was surprised when she felt hurt by a Coltronite powered lightning bolt sent her way. “Those fifty thousand bits are as good as ours!” Billy laughed. *Break* Dash was closing to finishing off her Sonic Rainboom when she saw Scootaloo trying to get to shelter. She flew down and picked her up as her Rainboom finished and a lightning bolt struck her. After placing Scootaloo outside her house so she can go in Dash realised the speed she was using was still what was used for the Rainboom despite it being over. It seemed her speed was increased by the storm! She saw the three Pegasi thugs continuing trying to hit Supermare with a Coltronite powered bolt, after recovering from the Rainboom of course. After being excited by seeing Ponyville’s famous superheroine, she decided she could need help from the bullies from her youth in Cloudsdale. *Break* Score was about to hit Supermare with more Coltronite powered lightning bolts when a dash of lightning came by and put Supermare safely out of the way where she was floating in the air. “Who is there?” demanded Billy Dumbbell angry that something was preventing them from carrying out their bounty. Then Dash came and seeing the Kryptonite in the machine took it out with great speed and threw it until it landed in the ocean miles from Ponyville. The three Pegasus thugs then realise their machine was no longer working, “Oh no.........Supermare looks like she is getting better!” Score said as the three looked at the superheroine fearfully. “You take care of these losers and I will go see if somepony is in trouble because of their mess!” Dash said to Supermare, and after getting a nod in agreement in return Dash rushed to Ponyville. The three Pegasus thugs gulped as Supermare glared at them, getting ready with her hooves to throw some serious punches. *Break* Rainbow Dash helped save the ponies that were trapped in Sugarcube Corner by ;lifting the tree blocking the door, she also helped some donkeys who were underneath that tree as well. She saved some foals from being hit by some debris, she helped stopped some burglars who were trying to take advantage of the storm by doing some looting, she dropped them off in front of the Ponyville police station. While doing this she also saw the other Ponyville superheroine Wonder Mare helping save ponies as well, as well as some pink pony in a pink hoodie and a domino mask throwing pies at criminals. She ignored them as she continued helping ponies that were caught in this storm, soon it was all over and Supermare swooped down and landed beside Supermare who told her “those Pegasus varmints are heading to Blackgate right now!” Then they saw the Ponyvillans cheering on Dash and the Mayor asked “what do you call yourself, new hero?” Dash realised nopony recognised her in this suit, well with her new increased speed and this costume she could become a superhero. Dash smiled at them and said “well Ponyville you can call me........................THE DASH!!!!” *Break* Filthy Rich was in his office again reading about Supermare and the new superhero the Dash helping save ponies from the storm and had catched the criminals responsible. Filthy Rich decided this Dash was a thrill seeker and not worth caring about along with this Wonder Mare and Pink Pie-er. Supermare however, was growing an increasing problem. He should have known those pegasi he hired would not be competent enough to get rid of Supermare, luckily nopony suspected he hired them. Still he had several back up plans, he then went to one of those: Carbon Copy was a mercenary criminal who had escaped from prison when he was caught doing deals with a corrupt military officer called Stolen March. During his escape attempt of Blackgate during the storm he was crushed by some falling rocks but was recovered by ponies working for him. Copy was a criminal whose services Filthy Rich himself had hired for himself, Copy’s body was almost completely crushed but he had a way of dealing with that. He had his scientists and surgeons move Copy’s skeleton and organ to the inside of a robotic exoskeleton, made from a rare metal that was almost magic resistant and hard to break. He also had it powered by a chunk of Coltronite he had in his possession. Copy woke up from his ‘coma’ and faced Filthy Rich who told him “Carbon Copy I am sorry to say but your body was almost completely crushed due to your escape attempt, to save you I had my colts put you in this new robotic body! In return I want your loyalty and help in stamping out a threat called Supermare.” Copy looked at himself in a nearby mirror and after nodding Filthy Rich chuckled and said “looks like you like the new you, well welcome to your new life...............METALLO!!!”
