Mare-Do-Well the Brave and the Bold: Requiem for a Rainbow Speedster

by Time Agent pony

The truth revealed

The three heroes reappeared in a futuristic version or Equestria, Mare-Do-Well checked her magical tracker.

"The 25th century" She said,

"And looks like reports of Lighting's death were slightly exaggerated" Soarin said, he was looking at something behind the group.

Mare-Do-Well and Kid Dash turned to see a giant statue of Lighting Dust, the reverse Dash with her name and pictures of her around it.

"How do we find Rainbow? Scootaloo asked,

Before anypony could answer a voice interrupted, "Unauthorised superponies" the voice belong to a security droid that had noticed the three, "alerting the Lighting Force" the droid finished, it had already identified who the three of them were,

"I doubt that will be a problem" Mare-Do-Well replied,

A squad of flying chariots with police siren on them soon arrived, identical looking stallions stepped out of the chariots, they were wearing suits coloured black and scarlet with grey coloured armour with scarlet lighting blots on their chests and the same coloured visors covering their eyes.

"You are under arrest by the order Lighting Overlord" one the stallions said,

"She's not my Lighting Overlord" Scootaloo said, she dashed straight at the stallions,

"Kid Dash, wait!" Soarin cried, but he was too late,

One of the stallions that Kid Dash was aiming for, avoided her with the same speed as Scootaloo. In a quick move the troopers had her surrounded three lighting fast punches and Kid Dash hit the ground.

Soarin was about to jump in, but Mare-Do-Well stopped him, her horn emitted a smoke screen that just gave Soarin enough time to slip away. The trooper's front hooves turned seem to turn into blurred as they blow the smoke screen away, the troopers then surrounded Mare-Do-Well subduing her and Kid Dash.

Moments after, both heroes were handcuffed and being escorted, by two troopers, down one of the hallways of the castle on the edge of the city,

"Can you believe Soarin? Runs off and leaves his partners behind...again" Scootaloo fumed,

"Enough! Soarin's the original Dash and deserve your respect" Mare-Do-Well replied, "you're not mad at him, you're mad at yourself because you feel just as guilty about leaving Rainbow behind as he does. But the Rainbow Dash I knew wouldn't stand for either of you wallowing in guilt or being at each other's throats",

Scootaloo gave Mare-Do-Well an angry look, the two past through a door, with a scarlet backwards lighting bolt on it, into thrown room where a familiar pony sat on a thrown, it was Rainbow's arch enemy Lighting Dust a.k.a the Reverse Dash alive and well.

"Mare-Do-Well and Kid Dash" Lightning said, as the two entered "welcome to the Lighting fortress",

"Lighting!?" Scootaloo asked, shocked "how did you survive? When Dash...."

"Fell right into my trap?" Lighting finished, "it was foal's play to lure you all into the Rainboom dimension, which I had already arranged to teleport me to the 25th century" he continued, "My only regret is that I didn't get all three of you still, I got the prize I sought. The key to my conquest of the future",

"Wait, are you saying the Dash is still alive?" Scootaloo asked,

"Here she is, the Sonicrainboom Spectacular, the Rainbow runner, the once great Dash" Lighting finished.

Some doors to the right of the Lighting's throne room opened.

Inside was a huge futuristic hamster wheel on which ran a rainbow maned pegasus in scarlet costume, she turned to look at them only for a second, while still running.

"Now a living dynamo powering my troopers super speed and my rise to absolute power!" Lighting declared.

All Rainbow Dash could do was look on.

Hey there. Again, thanks very much for getting the next chapter up. The exchanges, emotional content, action and future chapter set-up were all done in all the right places. I will definitely be looking forward to more of this as soon as time and inspiration will allow.

Oh, and I'm still trying to think of possible casting for your planned story based on "Legends of Tomorrow".
