Rainbow Dash gains leadership of the Wonderbolts. She quickly discovers that whoever coined the term 'the joys of command' must have possessed a twisted sense of humor. Scootaloo arrives with a familiar, cocky attitude, not helping matters.
Dash has never been happier now that Scootaloo has her wings and can finally start training for the Wonderbolts. Only problem is, Scootaloo has no intention of joining and now has to tell her sister the truth and risk disappointing her forever.
A few weeks after Scootaloo's camping trip, and her experience with those nightmares, Luna's concern for the filly still persists. Intent on making sure that Scootaloo is alright, she goes to visit her one morning.
After many hard years of living with weak and stunted wings, Scootaloo finally decides to end it all. The way to her grave takes her through a snowy Ponyville night, and she spends her last moments reflecting on the past that has haunted her.
Sweetie Belle searches a vast desert world for her lost friend Scootaloo. But she finds a great and terrible secret sought by a number of dangerous ponies. A secret that could spell the end of the world.
Scootaloo can't fly. Is she going to let that get her down? Of course not. She's Scootaloo; she won't let a silly thing like flightlessness cramp her style . . . Right?
