Sometimes heroes make themselves through courage and skill. Other times, heroes are people who were merely at the right place at the right time, or born from the correct womb. Some are heroes for they are destined to be so. Rainbow Dash is a hero for all of these reasons; lineage, destiny, timing, and deed. Unfortunately, being a hero is hard, and not nearly as glamorous as one might expect. It could even be called undignified, embarrassing, or a needlessly cruel curse. Nevertheless, justice shall be done, no matter how humiliating. Just as long as no one sees it happen.
This is a silly fic for when I'm not working on my more serious projects. Don't expect much from it. Either in terms of quality, or consistent updates. Do, however, expect numerous references to things, and a really weird story.

This fic just screams awesome and it's only the first chapter!
Awww... I was hoping RD's change into a magical girl would be more awesome. Then again, the fights make up for it...
also: dat mannequin scene with Rarity...
5689499 You. I like you. My pre-readers never got the reference. Which I considered heresy.
5690227 Rainbow Dash hasn't gotten a transformation yet. That's literally just the mundane outfit. If you noticed, she wasn't any stronger or faster than she was normally. It's just that her basic physical abilities transferred over to the Night, unlike normal ponies, which are physically incapable of harming anything. A real magical girl would have special powers from it.
... Also, her outfit isn't complete yet.

5692267 Never seen that movie actually. Phage's cutting isn't a reference to that, it's...
More due to the fact he's not actually the mannequin, he's something inside of it. He just stays in his shell due to wanting to look presentable. Like a 'white knight', for his lady.
5692607 Yeah I figured, I only posted that image because it closely resembles how you described Phages first encounter, with the scalpel and all.
The movie, I admit, looked pretty dumb. The very reason I never watched it.
5693008 Ah, I see.
Dis looks cooool, i'm gonna enjoy seeing where this goes! Faved.
Sorry about the heavy exposition, it's supposed to be episodic, so it's a bit slow to start, and will pick up more as the episodes go on, as any first season of a cartoon.
