//------------------------------// // Rainbow Dash returns! A new Threat! // Story: Pony Ball Z // by Shazam 25 //------------------------------// Five years have passed since Rainbow Dash and her friends thwarted the evil Nightmare Moon's plans for global conquest. Thanks to their heroic efforts, the shadow of doom was lifted from the world, and a new day of hope has dawned. For in the years since Nightmare Moon's defeat, it has been a time of rebuilding, healing, prosperity, and peace for the citizens of Equestria...but unknown to them, at this very moment, a new threat to ponykind is hurdling through the solar system. And as the mysterious invader makes it's final approach to Equestria, one thing is certain... The peaceful era the ponies race has enjoyed for the last five years is about to come crashing to an end... We change to a hill that has an house on top. Soarin step out and look around for his wife and daughter. "Scootaloo! Scootaloo? Time to came in! Scootaloo." He call out. We go into the forest and see something cyan wearing a orange and blue gi with wristbands and and boots. It was Rainbow Dash, the one that save Equestria five year ago. She flip her wings as she jump though the trees and land near a huge one. "This one outta do." She said looking at it. Rainbow growl as she pull back her hand and punch it with all her might knocking the tree down. "Hey Scootaloo!", Soarin call out again wonder where his daughter went before spotting Rainbow, "Rainbow!, you think you've got enough firewood there?" "Yeah, this should last us a while, don't you think?" Rainbow ask. "You're going to hurt yourself one of these days." Soarin said worry. "Uh, I'm fine." She said before noticing that their daughter was not around, "where's Scootaloo?" "I don't know, but I think you better go find her don't you? You two are suppose to be at Granny Smith pretty soon." Soarin said. "Oh yeah, that's right." Rainbow said. It been five years since she saw her friends and she promise Scootaloo that she'll take her to met them. Just thinking about them made her happy. "You better fly while looking. You don't want to be late for your reunion." Soarin remind her. "Okay.", Rainbow said and took to the skies, "Bye Soarin!" "Rainbow, be careful. Oh, I'm going to worry myself to death." Soarin said shaking his head. Soarin walk back inside and return with an ax. Normally Rainbow would cut the tree up already, but their daughter is missing and he had to do it until she gets back. Meanwhile on a farm far away from the house, a farmer pony wearing overalls was racking some hay and he stop to wipe some sweat off him. "This job's bigger than I thought.", He said before looking up to see something coming from the sky, "What is that?" He watch as it zoom pass his farm and crash land some where in his field. The crash scare his chickens and he look at it in surprise. "My gosh, ah yeah, it is, I better go... check it out. " He said and got in his truck. "Aaaaaaah... Goodness, why me?", He said as he pull up, "I better burn my pea shooter. " He took out his gun (he a Earth Pony folks) and step near the creator. He look in and said, " Ugh... aaah... I don't like this. That's no meteor, it's made of steel." He need notices it open and a strange human-pony step out. He was wearing some kind of armor that had wings, a rainbow like hair, and something over his eye. His blue eyes look up and spotted the farmer who back away. "What in the world? I'll be darn!" He said. The Pony turn and flew out of the creator. He land and look at him. "So, the creatures on this planet are still alive. Aurora Spectrum has failed us." He said. "You're on my property." The farmer said and held up his gun. "Is that so?" The pony-human said and rise his hand to his scouter. It beep and he laugh, "Hmm...your power level is puny. Ha. Level five." The human-pony started to walk forward and the Farmer raise his gun. "Don't you come any closer!" He said, but it kept walking. "Look, I'll use this thing!" He warn, but it still kept coming. The Farmer fire his gun and watch in surprise as the human-pony caught it. "Hmmm..." He said before look back at the Farmer. He flicks the bullet right back at the farmer, sending him hurling backward and killing him. "Heh. What a fragile breed of people.", He said before his scouter beep again, "I'm picking up a higher power level from over there It must be her!" He open his wings and took off to the sky. He left a dark blue trail behind as he shouted, "Prepare yourself, Aurora Spectrum! Rainbow Dash walk through the forest that her house was nearby, still looking for Scootaloo. "Scootaloo! Scootaloo! Where are you kid? Mommy and Daddy are worry about you." She call out. We then see an orange little girl wearing a Hanfu-like surcoat with purple hair and a necklace with a lighting bolt on her neck. Two small wings appear out of two small holes. This was Scootaloo, the daughter of Soarin and Rainbow Dash. Scootaloo as sneak into the forest and got lost. She was very scare and want her parents to find her. She walk along until she came to a river. She follow river until she saw a bird sitting on a log. "Oh well, hello there! You're a pretty bird." She said as she walks on a log as it tumbles. "It's nice to meet you. So, do you have a name? I'm Scootaloo." She said not scare any more. The bird chirps and fly away. "Hey wait!" Scootaloo cry and try to flip her wings, but they were too small for her to fly yet. The log tumbles into the river and takes Scootaloo with it! She quickly surface and grab a hold of the log and was once more very scare. "Mommy! Daddy! Help me!" She cry out. Rainbow was looking through skies again and spotted Scootaloo on the log in the river. "Scootaloo!" She shouted and flew down towards her, leaving her trademark rainbow blur behind. Scootaloo hear her name and look up to see her mother come down at her. "It Mommy!" She said losing her grip, but quickly grab the log again. "Hey on Squirt, Mommy coming!" Rainbow said and flew close and started to reach for her. "Almost got you." She said before noticing that cave was coming up and it was too small for her to fit. Rainbow let out a cry in surprise and flew up as Scootaloo went inside the cave. "Mommy!" Scootaloo shouted. "Scootaloo!" Rainbow call back as she flew over the cave looking for the other end so she can catch her. Scootaloo was really scare before she come out of the cave, but fell down a waterfall! "SCOOTALOO!!!" Rainbow shouted and watch as the log disappear in the mist that was form. She flew down and look around, calling for her daughter. Then she hear some crying and look up. To her surprise, there was Scootaloo hang on tree branch. "Heeeeeelp! I'm stuck! I can't get down! Aaaaaah! Huh?" Scootaloo cry out before seeing her mother float up to her. Scootaloo jump off the branch and into her mother arms. "Waaaaah! Mommy! Thank you, mommy! Oh! I was so scared!" She said as she cry. Rainbow, on the other hand, was confuse about something. She knew Scootaloo was too young to fly, but how did she get up there. "But, how did you get up here? Well, that's strange." She said out loud. Scootaloo look at her before Rainbow smile. "Never mind, let's go and get you cleaned up, then you can come with me to meet all my friends at Sweet Apples Arcs." Rainbow said. Scootaloo smile, she remember the promise that her mother made. She heard stories of her mother friends, but now she can met them. "That my girl." Rainbow smile and flew them both back home. Meanwhile, The human-pony flew over a city and notices that all the inhabits were like the one he saw before but some of them had horns. "Ah, miserable little vermin's!' He said and flew pass them. On a open field sat a different type of a human-pony. She was dark blue, wearing a gi was dark purplish blue and and her obi light pale blue. He night star-like hair flow like the wind was pushing through it. She also had both a horn and wings. This was Luna Moon, the reincarnation of Nightmare Moon. After her narrow defeat at the hands of Rainbow Dash, who defeated her mother, Luna has send the past five years training in hoping to defeat her. She then felt something that left her in shock. "Uh? Huh? Huh? What is that? I've never felt so much power! Uh...huh...? It can't be Rainbow Dash, it's too horrible. Huh! Who is that!?" She said in surprise before seeing the human-pony that land in front of her. What? He got wings like me and Rainbow? Luna thought in surprise. "Excuse me for dropping in. I'm trying ta find a woman named Aurora Spectrum. I thought you were her." He said. Luna wasn't sure who this 'Aurora Spectrum' was, but she didn't like the way he was talking to her. "Well you thought wrong. Now turn around and get outta here before I get angry." She warn him. The Human-Pony just smile and said, "My-my, Someone's having a bad day..." "Believe me, you have no idea. Now get lost!" Luna yell. The Human-Pony laugh and said, "Oh, you'd like that, wouldn't you?" Luna watch as he raise his hand to his face and hit a button on the device he had. "Power level three hundred and twenty two. I can tell you're not from this planet, but you'd be a fool to attack me...with such an insufficient power." He said and laugh again. Now Luna was really getting tick off. She clutch her fist and bare her teeth. "Now, listen to me. You came here. I have no intention of starting a fight." Luna said, really wanting to fight Rainbow instead of him. "I do." The human-pony challenge. "Alright, if that's the way he wants it!" Luna said to herself before letting out her strongest attack. Luna smile then laugh thinking she defeated the Human-Pony, but was shock as he appear unscathed! "Impressive. You actually managed to singe some of my leg hair." He laugh. Luna was totally shock, that was her strongest attack and he brush it off like it was nothing. "But allow me to demonstrate a more effective attack.", He said and smile, "It's one of my favorites. I call it a double Sunday. Now, see if you can follow this one." Before he could let his attack out, his scouter beep one more. "Uh? Well, I guess it's your lucky day, blue woman.", He said and check his scouter, "There it is. Just on the edge of my scouter's range. And it's big. It must be the largest power level on this planet. It's Aurora Spectrum. This time I'm sure." He flew away leaving in shock as she just witness a human-pony that was stronger then she was. "I don't believe it. I hit him full force and he didn't even flinch. This guy could be a problem." She said trying to catch her breath. The Human-pony check his scouter again and said the himself, "Have you forgotten your pride Aurora Spectrum? We are Pegasi, the mightiest warriors in the universe. I can still remember the day that we first sent you to this planet as an infant. We had high hopes for you then Aurora Spectrum, why have you not carried out your mission? Aurora Spectrum!" Who is this mysterious Pegasus warrior that now darkens the sky with his presence? His search for the one name Aurora Spectrum has already lead into Luna, one of the most powerful fighters on Equestria. Could it lead him to Rainbow as well?
