It was a rather ordinary day in New York City. The citizens went about their day, going from place to place between buildings, whether to jobs or school or vacation time. The sun shone brightly through the special skyway built for Zuki, the Asgardians, and other law enforcement agencies to get about the city readily without interfering with civilian traffic. There was even a giant green lizard rampaging atop it. All perfectly normal for the city of New York these past few years.
It took a full hour of said rampage before anyone realized that the lizard in question had wings. It was another hour before anyone came to the conclusion that this wasn't just another stage of Zuki's growth, and law enforcement agencies - including the Avengers - were called in.
Needless to say, Fin Fang Foom was unamused. "Two hours?" he snarled. "I attack the city with all my might for two full hours before anyone does anything about it? Do they not know the power of Fin Fang Foom?" He glanced at the skyway he'd been attacking. "Not that I have much damage to show for the investment of my time...how is it that this city can be so prepared for a dragon attack?" Turning, he saw police vehicles gathered nearby above the skyway, forming a perimeter but not attacking. "So, at least you respect the might of a dragon-"
The mighty dragon's rant was cut off as a massive form, a darker green than his, slammed bodily into him, sending him careening over the skyway.
"What?" Fin Fang Foom demanded angrily. "Why would a dragon side with these mortals over one of his own kind?" Getting a clearer look at his opponent, he snarled. "You are no dragon!" he spat. "You are just some mutated beast! You dare defile me with your touch?"
Zuki roared in defiance, although in reptilian speak the roar carried overtones suggesting what Zuki had once done to Fin Fang Foom's mother, which showed he'd been spending too much time around Hawkeye.(1)
"You take that back!" Fin Fang Foom roared, lunging at the lizard with fury in his eyes and murder in his heart.
Zuki grinned as he lowered his head for the clash.
Some distance away, a well muscled, green skinned man with pointy ears dressed in gold, green, and purple, stared at the conflict in stupefaction. "What the hell is that?" he demanded.
"That's Zuki," Rainbow said happily as she hovered in her armor, the other Avengers gathered nearby. "He's my puppy!"
Mandarin stared at Rainbow in confusion. "Your...puppy?"
"Yup!" Rainbow said happily. "He's my good little puppy! Sic him, Zuki!" Rainbow shouted to Zuki.
Zuki roared in response before catching his draconic opponent off guard with a blast of radiation breath to the crotch.
"You will pay for that!" Fin Fang Foom roared in response, though his voice was much higher pitched.
Mandarin stared at the battle of giant lizards in confusion and frustration. It had been his intent to have Fin Fang Foom's rampage cause a great deal of damage to New York, distracting most of the Avengers and give himself time to discover, isolate, and capture the source of the magic that was so like the power of his rings and had generated the power that had protected the planet from the destruction of the Skrull...oh, and had destroyed the Skrull.
He had not anticipated that Fin Fang Foom would land on a transparent shell around the city that protected it completely from all the force the dragon could bring against it. He also had not anticipated the Avengers having their own tame giant lizard to fight Fin Fang Foom. He really should have looked into more current events than 'the nature of the massive magical burst that made his rings flare and awoke him from his magical slumber'.
Still, he wasn't going to let things not quite going his way stop him from claiming what he had come for. "You utter fools!" he proclaimed, pointing dramatically with his left hand. "Do you think your power is anything to match the might of the rings of the Mandarin?"
"Wait, Mandarin?" Rainbow interrupted. "So this is the guy you were worried about hunting me down because the magic of my Sonic Rainboom is similar to the wavelength shared by his rings?"
Tony facepalmed. "Yes, Rainbow, he's the villain we didn't want to know that you generated that sort of magic."
Rainbow blinked, then rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment. "He he, oops."
Mandarin grinned widely. "So, you are the source of power! Well, no matter!" He raised his hand dramatically again. "In the past I have defeated you all soundly all on my own! This shall be no different! You haven't attacked yet, and I know why! You fear my power-"
"Yoink!" Rainbow called suddenly, zipping past Mandarin.
Mandarin blinked. Seeing nothing changed, he raised his other hand. "And wise you are to fear me! For with the power of the ten rings at my command, I am invincible-"
"Yoink!" Rainbow called again, zipping back to her original position.
Mandarin scowled. "And despite these distractions, you shall all now feel my wrath!" He raised his hands dramatically over his head, intending to obliterate them by unleashing the full power of all ten rings at once. But nothing happened. "My wrath! Where is my wrath?" He looked up at his hands. "Where are my rings?"
"Looking for these?" Rainbow teased. The ten rings were suspended in her forehoof repulsors.
Mandarin gaped. "What?"
"Geeze, you're slow," she teased. "I swiped these when I 'yoinked' past you. So these are the magic rings that have the same wavelength as my Sonic Rainboom?" She looked them over. "How do I use them?"
"You put them on your fingers," Tony groaned as Hulk and Thor laughed and Mandarin continued to gape in disbelief.
"Oh," Rainbow replied. "But I don't have fingers...maybe I can draw out the power with a Rainboom!" Without waiting to think it through, she shot into the sky.
"Rainbow, wait!" Tony called out, shooting after her.
By the time he caught up to her, however, she was already on the way back down, the mach cone already formed. He dove after her. Off in the distance, he spied Zuki tearing Fin Fang Foom's stomach open, devouring his flesh, and raising his head in a triumphant roar over the dead dragon.
The mach cone shattered explosively as the Rainboom formed. The Rings - held in front of Rainbow at the focal point of the mach cone - also shattered explosively.
And the sky beneath them tore open.
To be continued...
(1) Some people have questioned why Hawkeye gets so much hate in this. It has nothing to do with Hawkeye's character. It's simple process of elimination based on rolls of how Rainbow interacted with everyone. Tony was Father. Pepper was Mother. Hulk was Nanny. Ultron was funny robot. Captain America was idol. Thor was funny Uncle who got what she was going through. Nick Fury was the gruff uncle who secretly likes you but won't admit it. Natasha was the other female role model Rainbow wasn't sure she wanted to be. That left Clint as the not-so-nice Uncle who's a bad influence and gets blamed for everything.
So, basically, he's written the way he is because he's the one I know the least about as a character.
Uh... Opps? Well, reunion time, i hope...
Calling it now, this sends New York to Equestria.
Or at least Rainbow and Tony.
Or forms a stable gateway between the two worlds.
Well, to be fair Hawkeye is usually the smartass of the group in most iterations of the Avengers, the cartoons especially. So I'm not suprised by his behavior.
5828098
And...that means what, exactly?
5828104 Reaction shots!
5828107
Ah.
MOAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Welp, anyone up for some Mandarin Oranges? No? Well isn't that just peachy. Talk about a rift caused by food.
So, is this where Rainbow returns to Equestria?
best line ever!!
hum Mandarin sure is slow on the up tack.
rings gone is 1 second flat.
Hah, by the power of the Rainboom, another Rainbow Dash becomes a dimension traveler!
as always you make me laugh hysterically please keep up the great work
and you are so evil for the cliffhanger but that's you being you
because it seems like you always live for the cliffhanger
5828160 Technically she already was, since this is a reverse-aged version of the canon Dash with no memories of her time in Equestria
Well, that was certainly an interesting battle with the big bad of this story.
5828129 well i sure hope not. but maybe this is where the ponies back on equestria are able to find her, thanks to the power increase from the rings? or maybe she just absorbs it all and gets a super saiyan form or something. something like this:
fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/048/9/1/super_rainbow_dash_by_cresento_d4wcq4q_by_super_rainbow_dash-d5vbkhl.png
or both. both would be sweet! but if i had to choose, it's be the super saiyan 3 rainbow dash form!
"Yionk!"
That's so Rainbow
and I didn't say bannana.
And yah Zuki doing Godzilla
5828168
My point was that she used the power of the rainboom to rip through the fabric of dimensions here, unless that's going to be the reason all the rest got displaced and de-aged.
by the way realized something realized something this story can be considered one of the Displaced stories just the reverse of all the ones we've seen so far so instead of a human learning about magic and gain magical powers in Equestria.
Rainbow Dash learning about science and becoming a super genius in the human world or at least a Marvel world.
personally I like to Twilight's reaction to Rainbow Dash more intelligent than her
The part with Zuki was funny. And I almost thought Rainbow Dash pantsed Mandarin for a moment.
It'd make sense for the family placement in the Avengers, too. I kinda pegged Clint as the immature older brother before you brought that up.
Fin Fang Foom
Big bada boom
BIG BADA RAINBOOM !
5828204 Not sure if Dash is smarter than Twilight. Sure, Dashie's super smart in this one, but Twilight is also amazingly smart in her's as well.
Poor Fin Fang Foom. RIP.
Dragon VS 2014 Godzilla (Zuki)
Taking all be-oh, the dragon's dead already.
...
...
...
Taking funds for the dragon's funeral!
5828228 true but this Rainbow Dash has developed technology that uses science and magic in equal parts to do things not to mention she's figured out how to get into spaceusing only her own power
I always pegged Clint as the bad influence if it came to children. Way to go!
OK, I was wrong about the blast that destroyed the Skrulls sending Rainbow to Equestria. This time, I'm sure the energy burst sent her there!
I thought Zuki was a girl...,I was preparing to ship Zuki and Fin fang foom
5828429
No, Zuki's been male from day one, aside from a few typos.
YES! I LOVE HAWKEYE AS A BAD UNCLE!
5824362 *cue coming up with random ideas for random ponies*
zatch bell
baka and test summon the beasts
cased closed (just looked up how long it is and i must say DAAAAMN 130 episodes and 5 movies)
digimon
fairy tail
kill la kill
professor layton
phoenix wright ace attorney
yeah i cant think of anymore at the moment .-.
*runs away*
EDIT: actually... i would like luna with a gentleman such as professor layton... but then again the puzzles...
so basically tony and rainbow dash just went through a dimensional rift created by a double rainboom
5828574 Dark souls sunbutt.
Can't wait to see the reactions of the Mane Six when they get a tech savvy Dashie.
5828614 oh god no i hate dark souls img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121211224810/mlp/images/6/65/FANMADE_Lyra_in_disgust.png
plus they already entertained a idea for celestia i like which is her being raise by jean-luc picard
5828574
Don't know it.
Don't know it.
Don't know it.
I like other people's crossovers with it better than anything I could come up with, and there's no way I could do an MLD style story with it.
Don't know it.
Don't know it.
Don't know it.
Don't know it.
5828646 dont know a lot do you? sorry i know most of what i put is relatively unknown the only really known ones i put were zatch bell (though its kinda old), digimon, professor layton, and phoenix wright ace attorney
5828670
Yeah, I don't know a lot. And even what I know of in the 'lesser known' tends to be obscure.
5828634 hmmm what about Flim and Flam being raised by the wonder twins?
5828574
...Do you mean Detective conan?
Bruh if you think 190 episodes is long then you havent caught up in the slightest. Try 799.
5828688 dont know anything about the wonder twins other than they need to fist bump (aka tap their rings) and say some stuff to transform and idk how flim and flam would fit into that
edit: oh yeah im not even the guy thats writing this good stuff why am i answering about this stuff?!
GJ for getting on the front page!
5828698 i like english dubbed not subbed so i say cased closed and where i was locking there was only 130 episodes plus on wikipedia it says theres only 774 episodes and to correct myself theres 6 movies
.... the sad part is that your almost spot on for more representations of not-on-Duty Hawkeye....
TO CARTOON NETWORK! (i guess that will happen)
Hahahahahaha Hawkeye is a baby Is influence on everybody. And I mean everybody.
5828717
I must correct myself to, for my number was as exaggerated as the gap between the two series.
And as for the English dubbed...To each his own. I personally think the voices are awkward (Especially the choice of having
ShinichiJimmy use two drastically different voices instead of one constant). BUT LET ME CLARIFY THAT NO ONE READING THIS SHOULD START A DUBBED VS SUBBED WAR!...wait, they might do it out of spite...
I GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO HAVE A DUBBED VS SUBBED WAR IF YOU ARE BORED AND UNPRODUCTIVE ENOUGH!!
There, that'll show em...
...Now I have this amusing idea of shipping the Rainbow Bridge with the Bifrost. Since Dash probably just reopened the first one.
5828765 meh i thing subbed is just as good as dubbed i just hate reading the subtitles they take must of my attention away from the actual episode most of the time so if i have a choice i pick dubbed but when i dont have a choice... i just go on and watch the subbed (like when i marathoned Katekyō Hitman Reborn! )
