Five years after dealing with Discord, everything seems to be going Rainbow Dash's way. But she suffers a crippling injury which forces her to give up her element, and costs her the ability to fly. Now, as a war with the changelings looms on the horizon, Scootaloo must take the element of loyalty. But will she be able to handle the responsibility? And will Rainbow Dash be able to reclaim the skies?

How does a crippling injury end up making her disloyal?
Sure, it makes her cutie mark invalid because no more sonic rainbooms, and we all know how much she likes doing sonic rainbooms, but now I'm glued to this story wondering how it will be possible that her wings being broken makes her any less of a friend.
780107 I haven't read anything but the description but I think the author means she passed the physical element unto Scoots.
780107 maybe its useless to have an element that cant move or something?
anyways good story however this needs to go somewhere soon before its loses its catch on viewers
Why did you stop there? That's just cruel!
The idea that because Dash broke his wing, he's no longer worthy of the element of loyalty... that's like saying your car doesn't work because the radio died. (Remember kids, it's whats inside that counts)
For the note, I only read the summary. If this wasn't the message you were trying to say, then you might want to change your summary.
Yay! The chapter we've all been waiting for! For once it's not "dash broke her wings" its "dash broke everything" though giving her a spinal injury is kinda mean. I wonder if ponies have stem cell treatments?
It took til' fucking chapter 3 for me to realize who you were AstonMartinLover. It took a direct reference to Rainbow's Redemption to catch on that you we're the same guy who's 1st fic I followed from day 1. I'm sorry, I'm a shitty fan
811783 maybe since she's a stunt flyer, she gets to be like one of those moto guys that paralyse themselves, say do-over or some shit to the doctor and then they're okay in a few months.
I guess this is a literal example of "the pride cometh before the fall."
The Weapon? Hmm I dont like the sound of that
You jerk, killing him off like that, bad form!
Great chapter!!
Great chapter....but I still hate you for killing sparky.
Well holy shit, I predicted it. I knew there would be some insane cure that would un-paralyse her.
811252 That is a horrible lesson in friendship.
Today, Rainbow Dash broke every bone in her body and is now in the hospital.
Me and the others have decided to completely abandon her as a friend because who needs a trashed up broken down Pegasus who can't even walk?
I personally took it as my responsibility to tell Fluttershy and Rarity that if they lose their wings or horn nobody will care about them either; because if you are a non-earthpony with some form of disability, you are the scum of the earth and deserve to die alone.
From, Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle.
Does dash not realize she's healing? Like, to not be crippled? Supposedly at least.
Great chapter, keep'em coming!
Awesome.
Does that mean Rainbow Dash is a christian?
872814
Healing, yes, but not healed.
Months for the bone a muscular damage to heal, couple year for her to get her nerves reacting properly under stress. Chances to go 'Bolts again is low.
That and the war is already on.
My hats off to you sir.
Rainbows's Redemption is one of my most favorite stories here, I'm really glad you made this, I hope you can find a way to tie your other stories into this.
Good job, hope to see more stories like this, if not...A SEQUEL TO A SEQUEL! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Great story mate! You had me hooked right from the start!
the f***?
Is this universe slightly different than the canon universe in terms of the Royal Wedding? Because Chryssy seems to be pretty pissed at Twilight and Twilight especially, she may have exposed her and helped rescue Cadance... but ultimately it was Shining and Cadance that defeated her...right?
Anyway, this looks really good, looking forward to where it goes from here!
Yowch, this doesn't look great for Rainbow... the story is great so far, but I gotta say I am insanely curious about everything in the past you keep alluding to, I suppose all will be explained in time... or enough rather

Well...this is a sequel to another story I wrote, and there are hints to it throughout this, if that's what you mean. Reading the first isn't really necessary to get the gist of this one though.
Shadow's a cool guy, I'm liking him so far... and steadily losing respect for the woefully inexperienced Equestrian Medical system.... an element of harmony... that big of trauma... and they don't notice her foreleg is dislocated
Everypony is screwing everything up around Scoots, including Scoots... and Chryssy is a pushover, even if Scootaloo was being possessed by the element
I prefer to think of Celestia and Luna as super-powerful god-like beings who could pretty much smash the heck out of any threat short of other god-like beings like Discord... which would include upstart possessed fillies and changelings. I realize it makes for difficult storytelling and not everybody chooses that as head canon, so whatever floats your boat, but personally I feel like the alicorns in your story (including I guess Chryssy) are way underpowered.
1616359 Yeah, I realized that about chapter 15 or 16, whenever you mentioned Rainbow going to Cloudsdale Penn, but being innocent... I have actually read the other story, but it was a REALLY long time ago, I think before I even had an account here. I felt pretty stupid to be honest once I realized. Good story though, and I liked the ending, especially Shadow and Rainbow... is there a chance for them?
1617804
I haven't really decided yet. I'm a bit of a SoarinDash kinda guy so...maybe.
Wait a minute...a TREE fell on the changeling and all it did was CHOKE him?
Awesome story bud, that was such a good storyline, the way everything flowed together and the slow reveal of shadow's personality, sooo awesome
and the mention of spike as well as the mane 6 always goes down well with me 
A changeling with a ray gun?!?!
I'm 75% into the story. I had this story saved on my phone from awhile ago and decided to read it for the past couple days. One thing I can say is that you have a solid plot, and character development, and progress of the story is amazing. I would of never thought Rainbow Dash would be working along with a changeling. Also, making Scootaloo go rogue was another unexpected but pleasant turn that you gave to the story. I'm really looking forward to finishing it soon.
It was o.k
Wow this story is FANTASTIC so far! The plot is good and the whole storyline it great! You really know imagery. I can feel everyone's pain!
Oh my, so intense! LUV IT!!
WOW.....we need that cure.........like in the real world.
FIRST LOL! Poor Rainbow.....
yes but then there would be no story tubaguy
Scoots last sentence though......"Ill be better............"
Lock and load kids. We bout ta kick butt and take names
Get to the chopper.
Pass me the spare ammo, we're going in after them
Would have been great if he flew in there shouting "alluh akbar!"
Could've used this as a plot for magical mystery cure instead

Agreed!
Congrats Mane 6? You have unlocked Dark Scootaloo as a secret boss.
