The streets of Manehatten were still and silent. Twilight Sparkle a.k.a. Mare-Do-Well, stood on top of one of the roof tops remembering all the good times she had had with one of her friend Rainbow Dash a.k.a. The Dash, stopping villains like: Gorilla Grodd, Captain Boomarang and Mirror Master. But now she was gone. The only thing left to remember her by was a bronze statue which stood near one of the many banks of Manehatten. On the plinth below the statue was a plaque which read “In Marmoreal” and below that "Hero of Manehatten".
Suddenly Mare-Do-Well’s sad thoughts were interrupted by an explosion coming from the bank near where the Dash’s statue stood. The pony who had caused the explosion stepped out of the bank with a huge bag slung over his shoulder. Mare-Do-Well recognized the pony immediately, she was one of Rainbow’s old enemies, Heat Wave.
Heat Wave let out a satisfied sigh, "It's almost too easy" he said.
Mare-Do-Well knew she had to act and launching herself at Heat Wave she caught him off guard with a powerful kick causing Heat Wave to fall on his face. He turned to face Mare-Do-Well who said defiantly
"The Dash may be gone Heat Wave but there's no way I'd let this city fall to the likes of you".
"Too bad" Heat Wave said, getting back onto his hooves "because the likes of me have you surrounded."
Just as Heat Wave finished saying this Mare-Do-Well heard a crackle and was struck by lightning that seemed to come out of nowhere, taking her completely by surprise. The source of the lighting was another of Rainbow’s old enemies, the Weather Wizard. He was riding a storm cloud and the jewels he had stolen were on another cloud next to him.
"The rogues are taking this city by storm", he said sarcastically.
Mare-Do-Well turned to see another of Rainbow’s enemies, Captain Cold.
"See, Weather Wizard I told you one of Dash's friends would show up" Captain Cold said in a depressed voice.
"Its not the same Captain Cold there's no...." Heat Wave said sadly,
"Joie de vivre" Weather Wizard finished dryly.
“Sorry to disappoint” Mare-Do-Well said and with that her horn emitted a bright flash of light which blinded all three of the villains.
Captain Cold was the first one to get beaten, Heat Wave was next, but Weather Wizard managed to surprise Mare-Do-Well by using his Weather Wand to conjure up wind that swept Mare-Do-Well off her hooves and sent her smashing into The Dash’s statue.
When Mare-Do-Well was back up again Captain Cold made his move, firing a blast of ice from his horn, freezing Mare-Do-Well in place.
“You’ve got no style Mare-Do-Well, no panache” he said and nodded to Heat Wave. Just as Mare-Do-Well freed herself from the ice, Heat Wave fired a blast of heat at the hero.
Mare-Do-Well shielded herself from the blast, but Heat Wave had been expecting her to do that. He fired another blast but this time at the statue of The Dash. The bronze started to glow red hot and melt slowly. Weather Wizard used another wind storm to suspend the runny bronze in mid-air above where Mare-Do-Well was standing and with a further nod from Heat Wave, Weather Wizard dumped the hot bronze on top of her.
Mare-Do-Well tried to struggle against it but the bronze was too sticky. Captain Cold fired another blast of ice at Mare-Do-Well and the bronze solidified.
The three villains gathered round the trapped hero.
“If Dash was here she would have been creative, she'd have run circles around us spinning away our oxygen” Heat Wave said, like a filly at a party,
“The old Rainbow Speedster would have vibrated her molecules right out of that bronze” Captain Cold continued,
“and with a smile and an ‘Aww, yeah!’ that just made you want to rip her to shreds, you know?” Weather Wizard finished, saying it like he was remembering a good time.
All three of the villains let out a disappointed sigh.
“You miss her?” asked Mare-Do-Well, confused,
“Who us?” Captain Cold said taken aback,
“Miss The Dash...” Heat Wave said just as taken aback as Captain Cold,
“don’t be absurd” Weather Wizard said, even though all three missed her secretly.
Before these three ponies could react, an azure blue and golden blur came rushing at them catching them all off guard.
“...Was that?” Heat Wave said, joy rising in his voice.
“...Could it be?” said Captain Cold, with the same happiness.
“...The Dash?” said Weather Wizard just as happy. The blur finally slowed down and all three villains face’s fell. It wasn’t the Dash they had been expecting, it was Soarin a.k.a. The Original Dash.
“Not that Dash, but the Original Dash” he said smiling.
“Huh... it’s just Wonderbolt Dash” Captain Cold said disappointed.
“Not the same, not the same” Heat Wave said just as disappointed.
“No, but I’m more then enough to handle you losers” Soarin said sarcastically.
All three villains fired their weapons at the Original Dash, he managed to dodge all three blasts and knocked Captain Cold to the ground so his ice blast hit Heat Wave, freezing him to the ground. Weather Wizard managed to use a wind storm to catch the Original Dash off guard.
When it looked like the Original Dash was trapped, another blur appeared. This one was coloured yellow and scarlet seemed to have sprung out of nowhere. It stopped near Weather Wizard. The blur turned out to be a small Pegasus filly called Scootaloo a.k.a. Kid Dash, Rainbow’s kid sidekick,
“Hey Wiz, mind if I borrow your wand?” Kid Dash asked.
Weather Wizard didn’t have time to react before Kid Dash snatched his wand and sent the Weather Wizard flying a few feet with a powerful punch.
“Great to see you Kid Dash, you help Mare-Do-Well and I’ll…” before the Original Dash could finish Kid Dash zipped off heading right for Captain Cold, “or I'll help Mare-Do-Well” Original Dash said to himself.
He rushed up to where Mare-Do-Well was stuck in place, “a little super powered rubdown should get this all melted again” he said.
Original Dash’s hooves seemed to blur as he rubbed the bronzes super-fast which made them begin to heat up, allowing Mare-Do-Well to brake free.
Meanwhile Kid Dash was running circles around Captain Cold dodging his ice blasts.
“First wonderbolt Dash, now filly Dash, so lame!” he said.
Kid Dash turned and headed straight for Captain Cold. He fired another blast of ice at the ground. Kid Dash didn’t have time to slow down she ran straight onto the ice and slid into Captain Cold, knocking him to the ground. She was about to get back up when the Original Dash stepped in front of her,
“Playtimes over Cold” he said.
Heat Wave using his heat blaster managed to break out of the ice block she had been trapped in,
“It’s not over until we say…” was all she could say before a powerful punch from Mare-Do-Well knocked her out cold.
“It’s over” Mare-Do-Well said. The Dashes and Mare-Do-Well watched while the police ponies were taking the three villains away to jail.
“It’s good to see you Kid. I was hoping you would stop by my house?” Original Dash said to Kid Dash,
“Been busy” Kid Dash replied. “Somepony’s gotta pick up the slack around here or haven’t you noticed?”
Original Dash just seemed to freeze at Kid Dash’s second comment.
Kid Dash turned to Mare-Do-Well, “say hi to Filly Be-Goode for me” she said, before rocketing off.
Original Dash looked down at the ground,
“What was that about?” asked Mare-Do-Well a bit confused.
Original Dash turned to his friend and sighed and said, “It's time I got you up to speed.”
