Rainbow Dash snoozed quietly on a cloud over Ponyville. She was going to get up in a few hours to practice some moves, but for the time being her only objective was to sleep.
Her eye twitched when she heard Scootaloo, “Look, Rainbow Dash, I’m flying!”
She liked Scootaloo quite a bit, but found that she didn’t understand personal space.
Rainbow waved a hoof dismissively in the direction of the sound, “Yeah yeah, nice work, Kid”
As the silence thickened, Rainbow slowly drifted back off into sleep, until…
“Wait…” Rainbow’s eyes snapped open, “Scootaloo can’t fly”
She sat up and rubbed her eyes, letting out a yawn as she scanned the ground for a little orange spot. Rainbow scratched her head when she noticed that the filly wasn’t there.
“I could’ve sworn I heard her…” Rainbow whispered before she noticed somepony hovering behind her.
She spun around and gasped in shock at what she saw. The mare’s bright orange coat shined in the sunlight, and her dazzling hair seemed to radiate light, forcing Rainbow to squint. Her hair had grown, resembling Rainbow’s more than her old self’s, and her tail seemed luminous and slightly hypnotic in its beauty. What struck Rainbow the most, however, was that Scootaloo looked about twice as old as she had been before, and that her wings were fully grown and developed. Despite all these changes, however, the filly still had a blank flank, oddly enough.
“What do you think Rainbow Dash!? Now we can fly together like proper sisters. Isn’t this great!?” the mare asked Rainbow hopefully.
Rainbow finally blinked after what seemed like an eternity, “Uh, you look great, Kid, but how’d you grow up so fast?” Scootaloo flinched slightly when she heard ‘kid,’ but she decided to touch on that later.
She motioned to the Cutie Mark Crusader Clubhouse with a smile, “Red’s candy! He took away the other two, but he didn’t see the last one!”
Rainbow fought back a shudder at the kind of candy that could do that much to a filly, “Uh, that’s great and all, Kid, but-”
Scootaloo cut her off quickly, “Don’t call me kid anymore. I’m a grown mare now”
The two locked eyes, showing Rainbow what was making her so uneasy. Her purple eyes normally held the depth of her childish innocence, but now held a stern look of power and confidence. Now that the little filly mastered flight, she wanted more. Much, much more. She wanted power over all else, and she seemed like she would do anything to achieve it.
Rainbow sighed and rubbed her temples, worried for her little sister’s mental state, “Look, Scootaloo, it’s great that you can fly and all, but I don’t think you can-”
Scootaloo interrupted again, “Don’t worry, Dash, I can handle myself just fine. I am a grown mare now, after all”
Before Rainbow could speak again, Scootaloo continued, “Besides, if one of those candies did this to me, imagine what two or three or ten could do to me! I could become faster than you, even during one of your Sonic Rainbooms!”
Rainbow nervously took to the sky without a word, approaching her sister slowly and cautiously.
Scootaloo backed up furiously in response, “What, you want to stop me from becoming the best I can be!?”
“Nothing like that, Scoot,” Rainbow said as she reached a hoof out to try to reconnect herself with Scootaloo, “I just think that the easy way might not be the right way”
Despite this, she watched in terror as the bond the two had molded for so long snapped in front of her.
Rainbow could only watch numbly as the filly she once knew knocked her hoof away angrily, “My name is Scootaloo. I’ve tried and tried and tried some more to fly, but it just didn’t happen! I’m through doing things the right way and getting no results!”
Scootaloo glared at Rainbow with hatred, “I guess big sisters have never liked being eclipsed by their little sisters. Maybe that’s why Luna was banished. I don’t wanna see your stupid face in front of me ever again! We’re done here, ‘Sister’”
Rainbow made a grab for her, but it was too late; she had already sped off into the clouds and vanished without a trace.
Red and Lyra walked down the street, noticing a strangled air around the town. Right before Lyra was about to comment on it, however, both Twilight and Rainbow made a beeline toward them, signifying that there was a problem.
“Red, watch out!” Twilight yelled as Rainbow made and move to grab Red by the collar.
He made no attempt to resist the mare, who hovered in the air in front of his face so as to be eye level.
“What did you do to Scootaloo!?” Rainbow yelled as she shook him back and forth angrily.
Lyra tilted her head, “Uh, I think you’re going to have to be a little more specific, Rainbow”
Rainbow glanced to Lyra before returning her gaze to Red’s, “YOU gave Scootaloo some kind of candy that made her grow! Now she’s completely off her rocker!”
Red blinked, then looked to Lyra with a hint of seriousness in his eyes.
Lyra cleared her throat, “I think he says either ‘oh crap’ or ‘this is not good,’ take your pick”
She seemed proud of her translation skills, but quickly frowned as what she said seeped in.
Twilight opened her eyes in disbelief, “Oh crap…”
Rainbow released Red, who quickly swung his backpack around and hastily counted all of his rare candies. His eyes narrowed and he swallowed hard, which the three took as confirmation of Lyra’s translation from earlier.
After a moment of silence, Rainbow spoke up, “Alright, then, have a problem on our hooves. How do we reverse it?”
Red turned to her and shook his head silently, confusing her. Lyra and Twilight threw each other worried glances as Red put his backpack on again.
“There’s…there’s no way to reverse it?” Twilight whispered her question, afraid of the answer.
Red nodded as he avoided eye contact.
“No way to reverse it!? How could you bring anything here that would do…THAT without knowing how to reverse it!?” Rainbow screamed at him.
Before he could be scolded more, his body stiffened, and he clamped his grip on his bag as an unseen force swooped in and attempted to wrench his bag from his grasp.
“Scootaloo! What are you doing!?” Rainbow screamed as she watched in horror at the orange blur that was Scootaloo was forced to a sudden halt.
Red’s grip was strong, and his stance immediately took one that would give the most resistance. Even so, he was being dragged by his feet by the mare who was pulling with all her might to take his bag. The backpack, tired of being pulled and not used to that amount of abuse, made a unanimous decision. The handle that Red desperately held onto was ripped clean off.
The three ponies had already dived for Scootaloo, but were too slow as the bag and the pegasus rocketed down the street before crashing into a house. Red was the first to recover, glancing at the tatters of fabric in his hand and giving a whistle. He quickly helped Lyra up, and Twilight and Rainbow were already making dashes for the bag.
Rainbow was easily the fastest, being halfway there in the first second, but Scootaloo was faster, grabbing all of the blue candies in the bag and stuffing them into her mouth, wrappers and all.
Rainbow tackled Scootaloo to the ground and squeezed her cheeks in an attempt to push some of the candies out, “Spit those out right now or else!”
Scootaloo glared at her defiantly and kicked her off as several half-dissolved candies were pushed out of her mouth. Twilight and Lyra held her down and squeezed her cheeks as well with their magic, releasing even more of the candies.
“No!” came Rainbow’s strangled cry as she saw in horror that they hadn’t gotten nearly enough of them out.
The mare began to swallow them, but Red tickled her throat and caused her to cough out the remaining candies that she had yet to swallow into Red’s face, who ignored it. Suddenly, Scootaloo kicked all of them off with unseen strength, and got back onto all fours.
They all took a step back from the mare-turned-monster with awe. The candies that she had gotten down her throat started to take effect immediately, and Scootaloo began to shine more than before. Lyra looked to Red and became sick with worry.
They were blinded momentarily from a bright flash of light, then immediately looked around for any signs of Scootaloo. Far above, a bird too high up to pick out any features soared on the wind. A shrill cry toward the front of the group sparked their attention, and they all looked forwards at the form in front of them. Its shrill sound began to grow in volume, before light erupted once more and the creature approached.
“I…am…SCOOTALORD!” It called out angrily.
…Now would be a good time to send Pikachu out.
Oh god, Scoots EVOLVED! Shit, we need to end this. Where did I put my Salemence (Salamence? Spelling no good) Aw well, found Metagross Does that help?
There is not enough fan for the shear amount of shit here
Da faq just happened?

Scootaloo went mad with power?
Ok, this a bit weird. How can something not a Pokémon be affected by something meant for only Pokémon? I would imagine someone besides a Pokémon eating a rare candy would end up like this.
2347366
You forget, that's made by some person, not me. And that's a human, NOT A PONY. Therefore, it does not apply to this story.
And besides that, how boring.
What the hell did you do to scoots
That's not what I expected.
So the Missing No was someone who ate a Rare candy?
This...is...SCOOTRA!!!

Its fine, no probs..
I saw a few awkwardly punctuated sentences but who Fucking Cares!!!

Does it flow ok, not too fast or slow?

Its fine, besides; Its not like anyone is going to slit your stories throat just because of bad pacing... oh wait, then there's me.

heh
SCOOTALOO!!! Poor Scootaloo...
Oh well...Makes it more interesting even though I liked her the way she way.
Wonder what would happen if that big white pegasus had a rare candy... 0-o
... When I read the last line, I immediately thought of Red vs. Blue for some reason...
Red should have pressed "B" to cancel the evolution.
I called it again! Haha!!! :D
This gonna be soooo cool!
Sadly, Lyra has a type disadvantage for this but I hope she pulls through.
Thing is though, Scootaloo didn't eat all the candies and despite all the ones she stuck in her mouth I don't think shes all that powerful, a quick water attack from Blastiose would probably be a one-hit crit.
At times like this, I wish Lyra knew Water Pulse.
Anyway, since Scootaloo didn't eat all of the candy Lyra can maybe eat one if she's still not strong enough...
Think you could maybe throw up a stat sheet of Scootaloo once the battle is over?
That would be cool.
And lastly, I hope Red catches her. It'll be the only fast way to calm her down effectively.
And off handily guessing, would I be right in thinking that Scootaloo is around level 30-35 now?
GO LEVEL 100 TORTERRA!!!
Nooo not the candies...You know how f***ing hard it is to get a hold of them?! YOU WILL PAY SCOOTAC*NT!!! No seriously those things cost a lot of money they're not called 'Rare' for nothing.

Well bang later, okay?

And how would that work in a story?
'Red pressed b'
Boring.

In the next chapter.
oh god...
Make her pay with her life

No romance, their just close friends.

See, Red? This is exactly why getting 99 Rare Candies using the Action Replay is a bad idea.
2348027
Because she wasn't Red's Pokemon. You can only cancel your own Pokemon's evolutions.
That... just suddenly went to Creepy Town for me... I don't even want to think how can this work on non-Pokemon... unless Ponies are Pokemon, just didn't know it, and still don't...
Anyhow, I do wonder how will you go with this and if it's reversible.
Awaiting next chapter, though a tad less eagerly than before.
Anyone have an EV trained thunder or rock-type?
IS it charizard time?

Yes my earlier chapters are when I didn't have a proofreader, and I cannot have them go back as it means I can't release a new chapter that day.
Lyra is a fannon character, hence she appears different to EVERYONE, and this is MY version of Lyra.
And what's the use of sign language if no pony can understand it?
2351722
As for lacking depth, consider the fact I am not good a juggling characters, something I am slowly getting better at.
It's hard to handle 3, and even then keeping them multi dimensional at all time even when they're not in the limelight, is hard.
Also: Bear in mind I may be wrong here, characters start off simple and as you get to know them they become deeper.You don't have a multi layered character who already knows everything, that's boring.
2349197 haha XD
Its times like this when you need a lvl.74 typhloson.
Well this can't be good!
All that power has gone to Scootaloo's head. Time to bring her down a few notches.
