The Iron Mare

End Credits

Rainbow Dash turned on the lights in her house and was surprised to see a late-night visitor. The regal alicorn wasn't much taller than herself, but looked about as intimidating as her sister wearing all black and an eye patch. "Princess," she said, shocked and slightly confused. "I wasn't expecting to see you."
"Most expect my sister," Princess Luna said. "However, I thought it in best interest for me to tell you."
"Tell me what?" Rainbow asked.
"Twilight Sparkle came up with the idea," Luna said, pulling out a file from her saddlebags. "It's not much right now, but she said you would want to know about this."
Rainbow took the file and started reading over it, quickly realizing the reason for this visit. "Do you have a name for it yet?"
"'The Avengers' has a nice ring to it, does it not?"

Saarken walked through the caverns, hoping his punishment wasn't going to be too bad. He had failed in his attempt to remove Rainbow Dash and weaken the Equestrian forces. He was a failure in every way that mattered, at least to her.
"I am Iron Mare," came Rainbow Dash's voice from the TV in the corner.
"Why are you here?" came her voice from the shadows.
"I thought you might forgive my failure," Saarken said.
"Forgiveness is not given to those who fail as you have," she bit back. "Instead, it is redemption that is earned. And in this case, revenge as well."
Saarken froze. "How would I go about doing this?"
Her magic glow encased a lump of metal in the room in red. "Take this and use it to your advantage when you're ready. Then we will see if you are worthy of redemption. And this time, kill her yourself."
