Rainbow Dash sat on her cloud, looking into the sky. She just finished clearing it and was trying to take a nap, but couldn't for some reason. She wasn't sure, but something told her this will be her last day of her life.

Last day of my life? Where did that come from? Rainbow thought and shook her head. 

The idea sounded stupid, there was no way her life was going to end today. 

She must be trying too hard to take a nap.

After tossing and turning a few hundred times, Rainbow gave up and flew away. The thought ran through her mind again and again, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't get rid of it. Rainbow flew over Sweet Apple Acres and heard her friend Applejack talking to Apple Bloom. She stopped and decided to listen, maybe it could help her get rid of that stupid thought.

"Now, Apple Bloom, I understand finding yer cutie mark is imported and all, but it will have to wait till later, Granny Smith wants us to help clean up the farm." Applejack said to her younger sister.

"I know, Applejack, but I promised Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo that I'll meet them for our Cutie Mark Crusaders meeting and I don't want to tell them that I can't make it." Apple Bloom replied.

Rainbow listened and thought of a way she can help. She flew down to the two Apples.

"Maybe I can help with that." she said.

Both Apples turned to her in surprise and confusion. 

"Rainbow? Did you just ask to do chores for the farm?!", Applejack asked to make sure she heard  her right, "Are ya sure?"

Rainbow nodded. 

"Yeah, Apple Bloom can go to her meeting and I'll take her place." She said.

 And maybe I'll finally get rid of this stupid thought. Rainbow added in thought.

"Well, Apple Bloom," Applejack said, turning to her sister, "Looks like ya got lucky, go ahead to your meeting."

"Thanks Applejack, you too, Rainbow Dash." Apple Bloom said and ran off.

Shortly after Apple Bloom left, Applejack turned to Rainbow Dash. 

"This is a first, Rainbow. Normally I have to ask you to help out and you just take a nap most of the time unless it's breaking down the old barn." Applejack said.

Rainbow Dash shrugged. "Yeah, I know, but I need something to do right now and I can't take a nap for some reason."

Applejack rose an eyebrow out of suspicion before shaking her head. 

"Alright," she replied. 

"Well, Granny Smith wants that hay over there in the barn. It's a little tough, but I'm sure that with your speed, you can do that in no time." Applejack told her.

"Yeah, no sweat, I'll get it done in ten seconds flat." Rainbow said and flew to the barn.

"Sure you will." Applejack said to herself as she walked off to do her chores.



A few hours later, Applejack was already done with all her chores and decided to check up on Rainbow. She went over to the barn and saw Rainbow was still working on it, normally this is expected but Applejack noticed Rainbow was just barely a quarter way done. Rainbow should be almost done by now, but she wasn't even close to halfway. Not to mention how as Rainbow kept an unsure, uncomfortable and worried look on her face. Applejack could tell something was wrong.

"Hey, Rainbow?", Applejack called out to the pegasus, "You're taking an awfully long time with this, plus you're actin' all glum, is somethin' wrong?"

Rainbow winced out of surprise as she turned to Applejack, trying to come up with an excuse. 

"Uh... nothing! Nothing's wrong, this hay is just heavier than I thought, but it's not a problem, I'll have it all done before dinner! Maybe even sooner.", she replied, doing a horrible job at lying, "So, uh, where'd you get it, the market?"

Applejack gave an unimpressed look as Rainbow floated down to her. 

"Uh-huh, sure, now tell me what's really goin' on." she said.

Seeing that Applejack wasn't going to fall for any lies, Rainbow sighed. 

"Ok, this is going to sound weird and you're probably not going to believe me, but have you ever gotten a weird thought or feeling that just appeared out of nowhere and doesn't go away?" Rainbow asked.

"Rainbow, we all get that sometimes," Applejack said, rolling her eyes.

"This is different! This thought was something that never happen to me. It saying that today was my last day alive." Rainbow said.

Applejack looked at her as if she grew a second head. 

"What in tarnation made ya think that?" she asked.

"I don't know, it just appeared. I'm trying to ignore it, but it keeps coming back." Rainbow answered.

"Rainbow, ah don't know what made you think that, but please don't let it get to you, I'll help ya out if it makes you feel better, then I'll go see if Twilight has an explanation for this." Applejack said, not believing such a thought could say that, but wanted to make sure it wasn't something she should worry about.

Rainbow nodded and the two got to work. But try as she might, she just couldn't get rid of that thought and it was started to annoy her. What she didn't know that her thought was right, her old life ends today, but a new life for her starts tomorrow.



With Applejack's help, Rainbow got the hay in the barn in half an hour, but the thought never went away, by now it was just getting very annoying. She walked by passing all ponies still shaking her head occasionally to try and get the thought out, but it stayed and wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Just when she was about to give up on trying to forget it, Rainbow bumped into a white unicorn stallion, causing both to fall down and several blueprints to fly everywhere. Rainbow rubbed her head as she looked up. The unicorn was fully white. His mane and tail was white as well and looked very similar Pinkie's but shorter and he had a light bulb cutie mark.

The stallion shook his head as he stood up

"Sorry about that." he said, picking up the fallen blueprints with his white aura magic.

"Nah, it's my fault.", Rainbow replied, "I wasn't looking where I was going."

"No, no, it's fine." he said as he continued to pick up blueprints.

"Hey, are you new around here? I don't think I've seen you around before." Rainbow asked.

The stallion nodded. 

"Yes, I had to get away from the stress of the city life and my assistant told me about this place, so we came here, I just entered an hour ago." he said.

"Alright well then, welcome to Ponyville." Rainbow said, welcoming him.

"Thank you, now I must be on my way." he said and walked off in a hurry.

"Wow, he kinda reminds me of Twilight a little bit, what an egghead." Rainbow said to nopony before noticing something in the distance, a kinda black, foggy, cloud-ish thing, it kinda reminded her of... smoke?

"That's not good." Rainbow replied as she flew towards the source.



Meanwhile, Applejack was heading towards Twilight's to talk about the thought Rainbow told her. She knows Twilight was the best choice because of her experience with these kinds of oddities, maybe Twilight could figure out what they mean, or at least found a way to calm Rainbow Dash down. She reached Ponyville Library and knocked on the door, which was shortly answered by the familiar purple and green baby dragon.

"Hi, Applejack!" Spike said happily.

"Howdy, Spike, is Twilight home?" Applejack asked.

"Yeah, she's looking through her books again, come on in." Spike answer with a groan.

Applejack walked in and indeed saw Twilight looking through all her books, this enjoyment for books is why Twilight earned the title of 'Egghead' from Rainbow Dash. Which reminded Applejack why she came here.

"Hey Twi," Applejack said, scaring Twilight, who accidentally knocked over a nearby pile of books from the shock.

"Applejack! Don't sneak up on me like that." Twilight said, trying to catch her breath as she re-stacked the book pile she was working on.

"Sorry, Twilight, but I got to talk to you." Applejack said.

"About what?" Twilight asked, not turning her attention from the books.

"It's about Rainbow Dash." she answer.

"What about her?" Twilight asked again, still not turning.

"Well, she's been acting odd today, she asked to help out with the Farm chores, she takes longer than normal to get done," Applejack explained.

"Asking to help with chores is strange enough for Rainbow, but taking a long time to get them done? Is something wrong?" Twilight said, beginning to understand.

"I think so, when I went to check on her, she told me that she got a thought saying today was the last day of her life." Applejack said again.

That got Twilight attention. She turned to Applejack with wide eyes.

"What?" she asked in confusion.

"Yeah, I don't get it either. That's why I came to you, maybe you can talk to her and figure out what made her think that. I already tried and she just said it came from nowhere." Applejack said.

Twilight thought about it and said "I don't know, normally ponies don't get persisting feelings like this, but I'll try, where is she?"

"Last time I saw her, she heading into Ponyville." Applejack said.

Twilight grab some paper and her quill and put them in her saddlebags. Then she turned to her assistant.

"Spike, watch the Library! I need to find Rainbow Dash." She call out as the sound of something dropping answer her.

Twilight roll her eyes as she smiled. Applejack covered her smile when she heard it and they both walk out knowing Spike was ok.

No soon then they step out, they started to notice something was very wrong.

"Hey Twi, you smell that?" Applejack asked.

"Yeah, it smell like... smoke?" Twilight said before it dawned on them.

Where there's smoke, there’s...

"FIRE!!" The two mares shouted and rushed to where it was at.



A huge Mansion that sat on a hill sudden went up in flames for some unknown reason. Twilight and Applejack reached the burning mansion and saw three of their friends already there, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rarity. Fluttershy and Rarity helped the injured while Pinkie gave them large bowls of ice cream.

"What happened?" Twilight asked once they reached the others.

"We don't know, all we were told was it just went up in flames." Rarity said as they watch pegasi, unicorns, and earth ponies work together to put out the fire.

"Is there anything we can do?" Applejack asked.

"I don't think so," Pinkie said, helping herself to some ice cream, "They're already running a check for anypony that's still in there, but if you can find a way to get past them and make s'mores using the fire, go for it!"

"I don't think now is the time for s'mores, Pinkie,"Applejack said.

"I know, but if something bad's happening, I always say to make something good out of it." Pinkie smiled as she took a large bite out of her ice cream, then she clutched her head and yelled, "brain freeze!"

"Wait, where Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy asked, afraid that her friend was trapped inside.

"Right here!," Rainbow's voice spoke as she flew next to them, "What's happening?"

"We were told it just bust into flames." Pinkie explained before they heard a stallion speak up.

"Are there any more ponies inside?" he asked.

"No, I think that was the last of them." another replied.

"Help!" a young voice call out and they all look to see a filly with a white fur coat with a bright yellow mane and tail on the top floor.

"We can't get up there! The stairs are busted and the pegasi are too busy to go in and try." a third firepony shouted, fearing that it was too late.

Rainbow gave a face of determination. "I got to go save her."

"Wait! Rainbow!" Twilight tried to stop her. "Do you really think you should?"

"Twilight, there isn't anything left to do, I have to save her!" Rainbow said.

"But, Rainbow!" Twilight tried to warn her about how this could link with her thoughts, but it was too late once Rainbow became a rainbow-colored, blurred line that zoomed into the mansion. 

"Rainbow Dash! Ugh!" Twilight groaned.

"What is it, darling?" Rarity asked.

"You're not going to like this..." Twilight started to explain Rainbow's feelings about dying and how the mansion could relate to this. 

The other elements of harmony just stared in horror at the thought of their friend dying.

"Oh dear," Fluttershy said.

"I hope you're wrong about this." Pinkie said.

"You know what, Pinkie?" Twilight responded. "So do I."



Rainbow flew in without thinking when she heard the filly being trapped on the top floor. She was over her head, but a young pony's life was in trouble and she going to save it whether she died or not. The heat started to slow her down, but she kept pushing. A beam fell in front of her, but she jump back so the flames wouldn't hurt her.

"Help!" she heard the filly again.

"Where are you!?" Rainbow shouted.

"In here!" she heard once more.

Rainbow jump over the beam, feeling the flames lick at her fur coat. She ran until she found some doors and call out again, "Which door are you in?!"

"The fifth door on the right!" she heard again.

Rainbow could tell time was running out. She flew to the fifth door and kicked it open. She flew in and saw the filly in a corner wrapped in a ball. Rainbow flew up to her and picked her up.

"Don't worry, I got you." Rainbow said.

Rainbow tried to fly out the window until several boards blocked her path.

"Dang it," Rainbow muttered, seeing how she couldn't go that way anymore, quickly she started to try running back the way she came, jumping over some more beams and started to run down the stairs as fast as she could.

Rainbow looked back to the filly.

"You doing alright back there?" she asked, the filly nodded.

"Look out!" the filly exclaimed as she pointed.

Rainbow looked ahead and was just barely able to stop herself from running into a giant wall of fire.  There was a crack and Rainbow was sent plummeting all the way to the ground floor, luckily they were unharmed. Rainbow stood back up and shook off pieces of ash as the filly did the same.

"You alright, kid?" Rainbow asked, the filly smiled and nodded. That was wheard another crack and looked up. The ceiling was starting to fall and the filly was underneath it!

There was only one thing to do.

Rainbow pushed the filly out of the way as the ceiling fell on her instead. The filly stood up and tried to go back in hopes to help the mare that trying to save her, but Rainbow knew there was no time.

"Listen! You gotta get out of here! This place is about to collapse!" Rainbow told her.

"But what about you?" the filly asked.

"Don't worry about me! Get out of here! The exit should be around the corner!" Rainbow said again.

The filly didn't want to leave Rainbow behind, but she could see that she was right. Then she hugged her hero and ran out as fast as her legs can carry her. Rainbow smiled as she watched the filly disappear around the corner just before more boards fell in front of the only exit.

Guess that thought was true after all. Today is my last day, and I'm okay with that after I know I helped somepony from having their last day. Rainbow thought before she heard more cracking.

Rainbow lay her head down and close her eyes. She was ready and she did have the best life, at least if she was going to die, she was doing it heroically.



Outside, all the ponies watched as the filly came running out, but no sign of Rainbow Dash.

"Where's Rainbow?" asked Fluttershy as the filly came to them.

"The mare is still inside! She's trap under a piece of the ceiling!" the filly shouted pointing to the mansion.

The rest of the Mane Six was about to run in hoping to save their friend, but it was too late.

The mansion finally gave in to the heat and flames and collapsed with Rainbow Dash still inside!

"RAINBOW DASH!!!" Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie, Rarity, and Fluttershy shouted in pure horror.

They stood and look over the burning wreckage. They couldn't believe what just happen. Rainbow Dash, their friend and one of the Elements of Harmony, was gone.

Pinkie's mane immediately lost its poofiness as she hugged Fluttershy for comfort, both were crying a river of tears. Applejack removed her hat and put it on her chest as she looked down in despair. Twilight and Rarity just kept looking at the smoldering rubble.

"She sacrificed herself," Twilight said. "At least she died a hero."

And this was just the start of Rainbow Dash's heroism.

A few hours after the fire burned out, several worker ponies were cleaning up the wood that didn't burn up, and there was a lot of it. The news of Rainbow's death spread across Equestria like wildfire, it was truly a very sad day. The rest of the Mane Six had shut themselves away from others. Many ponies thought they needed time alone and left them be. A big funeral was planned once Rainbow's body was found or at least until her death was confirmed.

One worker let out a loud groan as he looked at the giant pile that was left.

"Ugh, how many more layers of rubble are there left?", he complained, "We've been going at this for over four hours!"

"Stop complaining!" another responded. "The sooner we get this done the sooner you can go home! Besides, there's still a pegasus body under here!"

"If that body still around!" a third worker argued. "Even it it wasn't destroyed it's probably a skeleton or piles of ash by now, plus it's not like somepony's going to find it and shout-"

"HEY, OVER HERE!" a third shouted, almost on cue.

Quickly all the other workers hurried over to help remove more rubble to find what they were looking for: the pegasus body that died in the wreckage. What was left of Rainbow was a black husk of singed ash and flesh, a couple bones  were visible and broken, her rainbow-hued mane was turned to a black, burned, pile of ash along with her coat. In all honesty the only way they knew it was Rainbow Dash was that the body belonged to a pegasus because of the wing bones and the obvious fact that Rainbow was the only one in the building when it collapsed.

"We better call the royal guards." one of the workers said and the rest nodded.



The news about Rainbow's body being found quickly overtook her death. Once the news reach her friends, they rushed to Ponyville Hospital. Following behind them was CMC, like the Mane Six, they too took Rainbow's death hard, especially Scootaloo, since she's one of Rainbow's biggest fans, the very thought of Rainbow Dash being dead crushed her soul.

Once they reaches the hospital, they immediately began asking staff and searching for their friend's room, all while the princesses Celestia and Luna were in that room in question with Dr. Stable, who oust completed the autopsy.

"We did all that we could do, Princesses," he said as he covered Rainbow's body with a sheet. "But I'm afraid that there is no chance she survived the fire. Currently her body is too damaged for public eyes."

"We understand, Doctor," Celestia replied. "We have already sent a message to her parents about what happen. Rainbow Dash was very brave to save that filly and give up her own life, she will not be forgotten."

The distinct sound of Pinkie's voice came from outside. 

"This is it! Here it is!" She said before shortly she, the rest of the mane six, and the CMC came in before being stopped by Dr. Stable.

"I'm sorry, but visiting hours are over, you will have to leave," he said before Celestia put her hoof on him to gain his attention.

"They are Rainbow's friends and as such have full permission to be here for as long as Luna and I are here," she said.

"Oh! Of course, Princess." Dr. Stable said with a bow before leaving the room, allowing the other elements and the CMC in.

Once he did, Scootaloo was the first to ask what was on their minds.

"How is she?" she asked.

"Her body was worse than we've ever seen. I think it would be unwise for you to see." Luna said.

"Guess Rainbow's thought was true after all," Applejack said.

"What thought?" Celestia ask.

"When Rainbow offer to help with the farm chores, she told me a thought appear in her head saying that it was her last day alive," Applejack explained. "I already told Twilight and I was hoping she could help, but when Rainbow went in to save the filly..." she caught herself from emotion. 

"Guess we're never going to see her again," she finished with a sigh.

The moment of silence was broken by a new voice. "Excuse me, is this the room of Rainbow Dash?"

Everypony turn to see the same white unicorn that Rainbow bumped into earlier, walking in along with pink earth pony mare with a dark blue mane and tail.

"Who are you?" Twilight ask them.

"My name is Light, a well-known inventor across Equestria," he said.

"And I'm Spay, you may know me by my variety of mane products," the earth pony said next.

"Of course, I heard of you," Rarity said to Spay. "You provided some of the most astounding ways to keep hair full of color, but what is somepony like you doing with an inventor such as Light?"

Light stepped up to answer. "Well, Spay and I actually share very similar dreams of peace across Equestria by means of technological advancement. Also..." he hesitated. "Spay's under house arrest for doing dangerous experiments."

"All I want to do was extend everypony's lifespan!" Spay argued.

"Spay, we already went over this, your theories and plans are excellent, but too flawed and dangerous to put them into action." Light remind her.

"What was wrong with them?" asked Fluttershy.

"Spay wanted to implant cybernetics into ponies," Light replied. "Some even to the point of complete roboticization."

"I don't see a flaw for that, that's awesome!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"No, Pinkie, it's not!", Twilight replied, "If ponies were turned into robots, they might lose free will, they would only do what they were told to do and lose the ability to make their own choices, not to mention how dangerous that is alone."

"Thanks for rubbing it in," Spay grumbled.

Light stepped in to end the discussion. "Now, now, let's not pour lemon juice on the papercut here, I did tell you that I would support you in the future, and I believe now is the perfect time to accomplish both our goals at once."

"Says you..." Spay said under her breath.

"What was that?"

"Oh, nothing!"

"Alright, anyway, if we were to have a look at the body, we could see if the procedure will have at least a fraction chance of success."

Celestia showed the documents and the charred body of Rainbow Dash, the two looked at them with interest.

"Brain slightly damaged..." Light muttered as he read the documents. "Organs damaged... but all relatively intact," he said enthusiastically. 

"Spay, this is the perfect speciment we could use!"

Spay nodded. "This is perfect, almost coincidental." she said.

"Um, what are you talking about?" Pinkie asked, confused.

"You see, Rainbow Dash has extreme damage in her skin, but her organs and brain remain intact enough to still be functional if given a little 'jump start', so with some robotics and machinery to support her body, we may have a way to bring your friend back," Light said, surprising the others.

"Really?!" Scootaloo asked, almost about to jump on them and beg them to start working.

Light nodded. "Yes, we plan on giving Rainbow Dash a new body to continue her life as a reward for all that she has done for Equestria, with the Princesses' permission of course."

"Wait! You want to make Rainbow Dash into a robot?!" Rarity asked in surprise.

Light nodded. "In a way, yes."

"But, what will happen if it works?" Fluttershy asked next.

"Truth to be told, we never did something like this, it's our first time working with biological bodies and robotics together so to be honest, we don't even know if it will work." Light answered.

"Alright, so let's say it does work," Twilight replied, "How will Rainbow act? Will she be a new pony that has to relive her life or will you be able to have her the way she was?"

"If we were building a robot we would give it an AI, but like I said, this is a real, biological body we are talking about. I don't exactly know what will happen if we do this," Light answered once more.

"I'm not sure how I feel about this..." Celestia said.

Pinkie looked at the princesses, giving them the desperate 'puppy eyes'. 

"Please Princesses?" she asked. "It won't be as much fun without Rainbow around."

Celestia and Luna looked at each other after giving it some thought, clearly they were thinking the same thing. 

"All right," Celestia said. "We will allow it, but only out of the fact that there is no other option left. If it fails, we will have the funeral."

"Thank you, Princesses," Light said with a polite bow. "Spay? Can you go fill out the papers so we can take Rainbow's body to a place where we can work?"

Spay nodded. "Of course, but where are we going to work? I'm not sure if we have the right resources for this kind of work."

"Maybe we can help," Luna answered. "Whatever you need, we will get it for you."

"We are grateful for your kindness, Princess Luna." Light said with a bow.

"Is there anything we can help you with?" Scootaloo asked pointing to her and the rest of the CMC. "Maybe this could give us cutie marks in... whatever you're going to do."

Light smiled at them but shook his head. "I appreciate the offer, but you three are a little too young for this kind of work. As for the rest of you, we mean no disrespect, but we need to be alone for this, this process requires undisturbed concentration."

"We understand, but you will tell us how it goes, right?" Twilight asked.

Light smiled and nodded.

"Yes, you have my word, Twilight," Light said as Spay walked out to sign the papers to allow the two to begin.

Hours later, Rainbow's body was moved to a room in Canterlot Castle that was blocked off from all pubic eyes, not even the media was informed to give Light and Spay the needed privacy, the only ones allowed in were the princesses to give them their needs. material when they needed it. The work was long and slow, only stopping to eat, sleep or take care of other things, such as keeping Rainbow's friends updated on Rainbow's status at the end of each day. Finally, after three long weeks, they were finished and about to exit the lab for the last time.

"Spay, why don't you go wash up? I'll let the Princesses know that we're done," Light said.

"Of course Light, but I must say, if we can do this then imagine what we can do to all of Equestria!" Spay said, smiling about their work. "We could extend ponies' lives, cure diseases, maybe even stop world hunger!"

Light sighed. "Spay, we already discussed this, I am always willing to help other ponies I only did this to help the others. I will not turn ponies into machines, it's just too risky. We got luckily time, I'm still surprise we got her mane and tail to grow back in its normal colors."

Spay wanted to argue, but instead she said, "Fine! I'll see you later," then she almost stormed out of the room. Light sighed and used a spell to clean himself up, then went to find the Princesses.

Meanwhile, Spay found a wash room and clean all the 'work' off her. She was still steaming about what Light said, she just wanted to give ponies a way to live longer and make life happier, she had no plans on making them full machines. Spay was tired of her ideas being ignored, she comes up with a brilliant idea that could save ponykind and it goes over everypony's heads, but when Light makes a machine to do a simple task, everyone knows about it. Her Mane Products may be a big hit around Equestria, but her other ideas were never taking notice; she doesn't even like working with mane products, her true passion was with robotics, but when even her partner denies the credits she deserves, that is where she draws the line.



Light walk through the castle and soon found both Princesses talking to the Mane Six and the CMC's. He stepped up and clear his throat.

"We are finished, all that is left now is to see how she acts when she wakes up, which should be any minute now," he said.

"Can we see her?" Twilight ask.

Light nodded. "Of course, follow me and thank you again, princesses for giving Spay and me this chance."

"You're welcome, just don't try this with any more ponies after this." Celestia said.

Light shook his head. "Don't worry, we won't, the process is too severe to be done on other ponies, Rainbow Dash was a suitable candidate for this project because of her body being too mangled that she would have died regardless."

"We wouldn't have to worry about that if you would listen to me for once." Spay grumbled under her breath.

"Now if I'm correct, Rainbow should be waking up by now," Light said and led them to the room.



>Checking system functions... 100%

>Checking solar energy...100%

>Systems online...

Rainbow open her eyes and look around, tried to push through the blurry surroundings as she sat up slowly, immediately noticing something odd and different about her body. However, before she could question the mysterious difference, Rainbow suddenly had an extreme headache that made her clutch her head in pain and lie back down. Once the headache left and she could recognize everything, Rainbow could now see that she was in a lab of some kind and she was sitting on a table. She got down on all four hooves and tried to step forward, only to lose her balance and fall off the table.

What's going on? Where am I? My legs feel like jelly. Rainbow thought.

She decided to take it slow, she didn't know how long she was out, but then again her brain was out of whack too and thinking too much made her head hurt again. Rainbow took small steps until she was able to walk without grabbing something to catch herself. Rainbow walk to the door close by and open it. She step out to see she was in Canterlot Castle. Rainbow then tried to fly, but her wings started hurting when she flapped them.

What's going on? I can't fly and I still feel weird. Rainbow thought again.

She took it slow again and soon she was flying once more, albeit only a few inches in the air for only three seconds. Rainbow was going to continue before hearing some hoof-steps. She turn and saw the Princesses, her friends, the CMC and the unicorn she bumped into. Once they reach her, her friends just stood there in shock. Rainbow look all over herself thinking she might got something on her.

"Rainbow Dash? Is that really you?" Fluttershy asked.

"Huh? Of course it's me, why do you say that?" Rainbow replied, confused.

She was answered by her friends jumping on her,hugging as hard as they could. Rainbow was surprised to see that she hardly felt any of them, she was about to ask them what was going on before noticing something on her head which turned out to be Scootaloo with tears in her eyes.

"Scoots, are you crying?" Rainbow asked.

"Yeah, I'm just happy to see that you still remember us," Scootaloo said, wiping away a tear.

"Huh?" Rainbow asked, confused. "Remember you? What are you talking about?"

"Allow me to explain," Light said as he stepped up.

"Hey, I know you, you're that unicorn that I bumped into earlier," Rainbow said.

"Yes, we never did have a chance to tell each other names. I'm Light and I rebuilt you," Light said, introducing himself.

"I'm Rainbow Dash, the coolest and fastest pegasus in Eques-"  she caught on to what he just said. "Wait... REBUILT ME?!"

Light nodded. "Yes, do you remember anything that happen to you before now?"

Rainbow began to think about what happened, she remembered sitting on a cloud, helping Applejack with the farm, rushing in to save a filly, having a piece of the burning ceiling fall on her... then waking up here. She stopped and her eyes widened with shock once she figured out what happened to her.

"I... died?" she ask softly.

Light nodded sullenly. "I'm afraid so, Rainbow Dash, fortunately my assistant, Spay and i took your body and rebuild you in a robot, but it looks like you still have your memories."

Rainbow head was spinning. She died and was built into a robot?

>Warning... systems overheating... begin shutdown mode.

"What..." Rainbow started to say before her vision went black and her body drop with a loud 'CLANG!' throwing Scootaloo off as well.

"What happened?" Twilight asked Light.

"It appears the shock was too much for her to handle and had to shut down to stop from overheating," Light said before Spay came walking in, already seeing Rainbow on the floor.

"Did you move her already, Light?" she asked.

"No, Rainbow Dash just woke up on her own and I guess she was taking time to get use to the new body. We arrive to see that she was flying a little before I explain what we did to her, her system overheated and shut down," Light said then noticed that Spay was still dirty. 

"Spay, I thought I told you to get cleaned up."

"I did, but headed back to the lab to check on the Robot Masters," Spay said.

"Robot Masters?" Twilight ask.

"Yes, they were the first robots we built before we moved here," Light said. "We were hoping there would be enough peacefulness for us in Ponyville to put on the finishes touches on them before we can show them to Equestria."

"Can we see them?" Twilight asked excited.

Light chuckled. 

"Well, I guess so, we need to return to Ponyville anyway to finish on Rainbow's design," he said, picking up Rainbow's body with his magic.

"My sister and I will bring in a transport for you while we remain in Canterlot to schedule an announcement for this wonderful event," Celestia said. "But be sure to return within a few hours."



They returned to Ponyville to see a huge lab built on hill not to far away. Light lead them inside and were greeted by a red earth pony mare with a blonde mane and tail much like Applejack's, except with a green band on her head.

"Hi Light! Hi Spay!" she said cheerfully.

"Wow! She got to have as much energy as Pinkie." Applejack said.

"Oh, you brought friends with you! Hi, I'm Melody." the earth pony said, taking notices of the guests.

"Nice to met you, Melody, I'm Twilight Sparkle and these are my friends, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rarity; these are the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo," Twilight said.

"Nice to meet you all! I was hoping Light would bring some friends after being gone for so long, get boring being in this lab all day," Melody said, before she spotted Rainbow Dash. 

"Who's that?" she asked. "A new robot?"

"That's Rainbow Dash, Melody, a friend of ours who lost her life saving a filly from a burning mansion and was rebuilt into a robot," Light explained, "We just brought her here to finish the last touches on her design."

"Your Kidding! A pegasus rebuilt into a robot," Melody said amazed as Light took Rainbow into another room before she turned to the others. 

"So that's what he was doing for three weeks. Wow, and to think it took him a month to build me."

"I know r- wait, built?" Twilight said, surprised. "You're a robot?"

Melody nodded. "Yep!"

"She looks like a real pony to me." Applejack said, shocked as well.

"Melody! Can you give me a hoof please?" Light called out from the other room.

"Be right there!" Melody replied before turning to the others. "I got to go, maybe we can hang out some time."

Shortly Light returned to the others. 

"I understand your confusion, I tried to make Melody as pony-like as possible, and it seems I did a good job. Anyway, would you like to see the Robot Masters while we wait for Rainbow to wake up?" he said.

The guests nodded and followed Light to another, much larger room that had six deactivated robots of each pony type. 

"I'd like to present the Robot Masters," he said. "Each one was build to help in any way they can. Guts Stallion's strength enables him to easily work with construction and heavy lifting situations, Bomb Stallion's Hyper Bomb will assist in demolition and wreckage clearing in a safe, Cut Stallion's razor sharp blades allow easy methods of deforestation and cutting various obstetrical, Ice Stallion's design allow him to easily survive and study arctic ecosystems, Fire Stallion's burning heat provides easy waste-management situations, and finally, Elec Stallion's design helps him keep the voltage in power plants stable. I also had three other designs for time travel, oil management, and adhesive construction, but there was no point in building the first two and I lost the designs for the third one a long time ago, but that doesn't matter right now."

"What about Melody?" Twilight asked.

"Melody was made for two things: to help around the lab and to be my daughter," Light told.

"Really?" Fluttershy asked.

Light nodded. "Yes, I was once married years ago, unfortunately I lost my wife in an accident. She was going to have a filly as well," Light explained sadly.

"We're sorry for your loss, Light," Applejack said knowing that he misses his family.

"Thank you, Applejack. Anyway, now we should see if Rainbow is awake," Light said as he started to walk away with the others following.

Twilight walked up to Light. "Hey, Light, I got a question, how many robots did you build?"

Light thought about it. 

"Hm, counting Rainbow Dash, that makes nine robots so far," he answered.

"Nine? Who's the last one?" Applejack asked.

"Oh, he's no longer around, I don't want to talk about it," Light said, mildly depressed.



>Systems cooled down... reactivating.

Rainbow opened her eyes again and looked around.

"Wow, deja vu," Rainbow said, seeing she was once more in a lab, albeit slightly different.

Rainbow got off the table she was laying on and thought back to what was told her, she was a robot? Rainbow looked in a mirror and saw that she didn't look anything like a robot. In fact she still looked like a pegasus. Even if she was one, she found it weird and cool at the same time. Maybe she can use this new body to do more tricks. She then heard the door open and saw Spay walk in.

"Um, Hi?" Rainbow said, never seeing her before.

"Hm? Oh, I see you're awake. My name is Spay, I helped bring you back to life," Spay said as she reached her hoof out.

"I'm Rainbow Dash," Rainbow said, shaking it, making Spay wince in pain.

"Ow, Ow, Ow!" Spay exclaimed as Rainbow shook.

Rainbow immediately removed her hoof. "Sorry! Still getting use to this, I don't know my own strength anymore."

"It's fine, I'm well familiar with robots being stronger than ponies" Spay said, waving her hoof to shake out the pain.

"So, where am I now?" Rainbow asked, remembering the last place she was in was Canterlot Castle.

"You're in Light's and my lab in Ponyville," Spay answered. "Now, there's something I want to tell you-" before she could say anything, the door opened again and Light and the other walk in.

"Good to see your awake again, Rainbow Dash." Light said. "Now, if you'd mind, we'd like to-"

"Hold on a second, Doc," Rainbow interrupted. "Spay was about to tell me something."

"Oh, it can wait," Spay said, silently growling.

"Alright," Light said. "Anyway, the princesses have scheduled an announcement to tell about your rebirth, so until then of you'd like, we need to go over some test with you to make sure everything is working just fine."

Rainbow thought about it for a brief moment before shrugging and nodding. 

"Yeah, I'm cool with that," she said. "Heh, I bet everypony would freak if they saw me alive again."

Everypony laughed, except Spay on the other hoof just walk out without anypony noticing. She was hoping to get Rainbow to work alongside her in making some ponies like her, but with the Princesses around, there was no way for her to do so. She has to come up with a plan.
> Birth of Mega Mare Part 2
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few days later... Rainbow was holding huge blocks with her friends watching. They were trying seeing how much she could hold. Each stone was weight 1000 pounds each and she was hold up three of them right now. Light took some notes and place another one on. Rainbow grunt as she try to hold on. Every though she was a robot now, she was still the same pegasus her friends knew and love. Rainbow was willing to take the chances with her new body and was doing great. Her speed had greatly increase in the air and land. She could easily do a Sonic Rainboom without any problems. Thanks to Light explaining some things about her body, Rainbow discover that with Celestia sun she can run a lot better like she was fully awake and didn't need naps. When she ask about nights, she was told there was a back-up for her energy source where she runs off of Luna's Moon.

Another stone was drop on and Rainbow was starting to have a hard time holding them up. It look like her new body had reach it limit. She threw the stones up and flew out of the way. Once she was in clear, she sat down to catch her breath. She knew she was a robot now, but wanted to remain as a pony and did everything to make sure to be one.

"5000 pounds. I knew we made you strong, but not that strong." Light said impress.

"Yeah, surprise me too." Rainbow said and stood up.

Pinkie appear in front of her with a cupcake. Rainbow was a little surprise to see one, but roll her eyes. She took it and Twilight spoke up.

"Rainbow you do know because you're a robot now you don't have to eat." She said.

Rainbow sigh at those words, she was never going to get use to being call a robot.

"I don't want to be one Twilight, So I'm trying to be as pony as possible." Rainbow said.

"Pony as possible?" Applejack repeated.

"Don't worry, Because I use your old body you can still eat and sleep like normal ponies." Light said and began to check up on her.

Rainbow remain still. She remember she could never stay in the same place for long, but her new body had that remove and now she had no problem being still. After Light check up on her, he wrote down more notes and nods.

"Ok Rainbow, We are done for the day. You're free to go, but I like for you to return in an week for another check up. Got to make sure your body doesn't malfunctions until then." Light said.

"Ok, now can I go? Princess Celestia wants me at Canterlot so everypony can see I'm alive." Rainbow said.

"Ah yes of course. It also where I can show the Robot Masters." Light said.

"Can I come too?!" Melody asked, when she heard what was going on.

"Huh? You never be to Canterlot?" Twilight ask.

"No, in fact I never left the lab at all." Melody said.

"What in tarnation...Light!" Applejack said angrily at the Unicorn.

"Please relax, I been waiting for the right time and I think it time for Melody to see Equestria." Light said, throwing his hooves up.

"Well Melody you're in luck! Not only because we been to Canterlot many times, but Twilight was born there!" Pinkie pipe up happily.

"Really?! Wow! Why didn't you tell me Twilight?" Melody ask.

"Err...," Twilight try to get the words out, but luckily Rainbow came to the rescue.

"We can worry about it later. After all Princess Celestia is waiting." She said.

They all nods and Twilight put a cloak spell on Rainbow. After all, all of Equestria still thought Rainbow was dead. It was better for it to remain that way until the Princesses show her to them.



Spay was already at Canterlot. She waited until the others arrive before she put her plan into action. She decide that if her ideas won't be noticed, then she'll made them notice. She was so caught up in making her ideas noticeable that she slowly started to think that no one else cares about her. There was one plan she had, get the Robots and reprogram them. Once every pony left the room where the Robot Masters were store. Once they were alone she got to work. They may look like ponies, but they will follow her commands.

Outside, all the ponies in Canterlot gather at the Castle. There were some news about seeing something new and some rumor that Rainbow's body has finally be found. They all went quiet when Princess Celestia step up.

"My little ponies, today I have something to tell you. Something that will shock all of you as it did me and my sister." Celestia said and the ponies talk along themselves.

"First we have a shocking surprise. You all remember Rainbow Dash, the pegasus that give her life to save a life?", Celestia ask letting the thought sink in, "Well she been found and she been reborn."

Luna then took over, "With help from two ponies name Light and Spay, Rainbow Dash was built as the first robot pegasus, but before we show you, we ask you all to treat her the way you treat her before."

Twilight knew what to do and drop the cloak spell and everypony gasp to see Rainbow flying over them.

"Rainbow was rebuilt in a robot like Luna said and here is one of the ponies. His name is Light." Celestia said and Light step up.

"Thank you Princesses Celestia and Luna. Yes, I'm one of the ponies that turn Rainbow Dash in a the first pony-turn-robot. However, it was no easy task mind you. Replacing parts of her body would be too great to tell you and it was very messy work. I also would like to welcome a group of Robots that me and my partner Spay had built. I give you the first Robot Masters!" Light said then try to show them the robots.

But they didn't appear. They all waited, but nothing appear.

"That odd, I upload the command to appear when I call them." Light said confuse.

Rainbow found it odd too, but then her mind started shouting...

WARNING! INCOMING DANGER! WARNING!

Rainbow shook her head before looking up to see a giant piece of the castle falling straight at the Princesses!

Rainbow quickly flew up to the piece and caught it. Good thing it wasn't over 5000 pounds. Rainbow quickly threw it away from Canterlot and began to look around. There was a sound of thunder and Rainbow look up to see Elec Stallion ready to fire his electric. Rainbow was quick by grabbing a cloud and placing it in the attack path, turning it in a thunder cloud. The she heard some laughter.

"AHAHAHAHA! You ponies really believe that Light really did all this?", Spay said as she stood on the castle, "For too long you have ignore my ideas whiling you love my Mane products. Well no more! The Robot Masters will follow my commands now!"

"Spay! What are you doing?! We did not built them to attack others!" Light shouted.

"Say what you want, you dismiss my idea of giving ponies a chance to live longer and we just show that by showing Rainbow Dash." Spay said.

Then she turn to her and smile once more, "Join me Rainbow Dash, join me and we can show what a robot pony can do."

Rainbow wasn't having any of it. She flew in place and cross her hooves in front of her.

"Forget it!", She shouted, "I'm grateful to both you and Light for giving me another chance to live, but I don't want to be seen as robot. I was born as a pony and I'll stay as a pony!"

"You could so much more with that body. You're special Rainbow Dash, you deserve a better life than this." Spay said.

"Give it up Spay, I won't go to the side that starting to using robots for evil. I'm loyal to my friends and I will never leave them hanging." Rainbow said.

Spay was getting mad. She offer Rainbow a chance what she could do with her new body and she turn it down because she didn't want to live her friends? Spay decided that enough was enough.

"Fine then! From this day forward, Spay is no more! I will now be... DR. MANE-TIC! And I will rule over all of Equestria!" Spay said.

"What?!" The Mane Six shouted.

"Spay! Have you lost your mind?!" Light shouted.

"No, Light I have not.", Dr. Mane-tic said, "I have been reborn like Rainbow Dash and there nothing you can do to stop me. I even taking control of all your robots!"

"What? NO!!!" Light shouted.

"For now, I will fall back and start my new plans. For too long you outshine me in every way. Well now it my turn! HAHAHAHAHA!" Dr. Mane-tic laugh and disappear along with the two Robot Masters she already had.



A few minutes later, Light sat on the floor trying to warping his mind on what just happen. Spay is trying to take over Equestria and using their robots to do it? He hug his head in shame. The Mane Six, on the other hand, were talking about how they were going to stop Spay from taking over Equestria.

"I can't believe that one of Rainbow savors is trying to take over Equestria just because she thinks her ideas weren't notices." Applejack said shaking her head.

"There got to be a way to stop that meanie before somepony gets hurt!" Pinkie added.

"And get Spay to realizes she was thinking wrong." Fluttershy said.

"Maybe we can use the Elements to stop her." Twilight said thinking.

"It won't work.", Light spoke up, "We build the Robot Masters to stand up against anything. That even means the Elements of Harmony."

"Then what can we do?" Twilight ask.

"If only there was a way to stop the bots." Fluttershy said sadly.

Rainbow was thinking on what had happen since she was reborn. The thought of Spay...no...Dr. Mane-tic ruling Equestria didn't suit well with her. 

She then look up and said, "I'll do it."

Everypony turn to her. They saw the look in Rainbow's face, but they were confuse in what she was talking about.

"Do what?" Twilight ask.

"To go and stop the Robot Masters." Rainbow said with a seriously look on her face.

"But Rainbow, you were just brought back! We don't want to lose you again." Fluttershy gasp.

"I own both Light and Spay my life. If Spay is turning into a mad-pony then I'm going to have to stop her. Please, I'm the only one that can right now." Rainbow said.

Light sigh once more and stood up.

"Alright, We can help get you ready for battle. There were two prototype armors I made in case something like this would happen, though I never wish it. With one of the armors, I can give your body upgrades." He said.

"What kind of upgrades?" Twilight ask.

"Powerful body armor that can stand powerful blows, a Plasma Buster, a Weapon Change System built inside. I even have one blue." Light said, thinking about one of the armors.

"How long will it take?" Rainbow ask.

"Not long. It be pretty easy for you to wear due to you body being rebuilt. Only thing is it back at my lab." Light said.

"Then let get you and Rainbow there so up can upgrade her." Pinkie pipe up.

"We, in the meantime, will look out for Spay and the Robot Masters." Celestia said.

"Once Rainbow is ready, we will send the location over once we find them." Luna said.

"Of course, Now are you ready Rainbow Dash? This is something I never wanted to happen." Light ask her.

"Yes, I'm ready and I will stop Dr. Mane-tic." Rainbow said ready for anything.

"Melody, I need you to stay here and keep an eye out for anything. I put tracker spells on all of them and you should able to sense them." Light said to the robot earth pony.

"Will do Light." Melody nodded.



At Light lab, Light got to work instating the armor on Rainbow Dash. Her hooves were cover in dark blue with her left hoof being able to turn into the Plasma Buster. Her lower hooves had air boosters that allow her to jump higher. The rest of her body was cover in the same color as her fur coat, but cover her cutie mark. Her tail still stick out from behind and her wings still came out as well. Once Light was done Rainbow look over herself.

"Hm, This is kind of cool, but how will this help me again?" Rainbow said then ask.

"The whole armor is build out of light ceramic chitin, the rarest metal in Equestria. With your body being turn into a robot, it was an idea choice for you." Light explain.

"I see." Rainbow turn and saw the Helmet to the armor. 

She walk over and pick it up. It was dark blue with a light blue square and line on it. She also saw what she believe were pony ears only cover in metal on it. Just then Spike comes running in the lab, thanks to Twilight telling him where it was, with a letter in his claw.

"Are you Light?" Spike ask.

"That is me, I take your Spike? Twilight told me about you." Light answer.

"Yeah, Here!" Spike said and hand him the letter.

Light read it and then turn to Rainbow who place on her helmet.

"The Robot Masters have been spotted attacking Canterlot City. Are you ready?" Light said then ask.

"I was born ready." The blue armor pegasus said.



The Robot Masters were indeed attack Canterlot City. Bomb Stallion threw his Hyper Bombs at everything making buildings blow up as well as other things. Guts Stallion destroy buildings by running into to them and even pick up large rocks and threw them. Cut Stallion threw his Rolling Cutter, slashing up stands as ponies duck under the incoming blades. Fire Stallion shot his fire even where, which started some fires. Ice Stallion shot his ice, freezing everything and even got close to freezing some ponies. Elec Stallion shot his electric in the air and made lighting bolts strike the ground. Dr. Mane-tic watch over as the Robot Masters attack the city. She order them to leave Ponies alive, but scare them with their attacks. Just as thing was started to look it worst and new sound was heard in the air.

All the Robot Masters stop what they were doing and look in air to see a cyan beam descend from the sky and land on the ground. They saw the beam turn into a blue mare with parts of it rainbow mane sticking out of it helmet and a rainbow tail as well. It stood up with a determined look on it face.

"What this? Rainbow Dash?", Dr. Mane-tic ask herself before ordering, "Robot Masters! That is a enemy, destroy it!"

Rainbow watch as all six Robot Masters walk up to her. She could tell this was a fight, but she didn't come here for one. She decide to talk to them first.

"I don't want to fight." She said.

"Well, you got one." Elec Stallion said.

"I ask for you to surrender and return to Light side." Rainbow said again.

"Heh, think we'll surrender? We will never do that." Guts Stallion said pounding his hooves.

Rainbow sigh, she was really hoping it wasn't going to this. She raise her left hoof in the air and it turn into her buster. She quickly fire, knocking down Fire Stallion, Ice Stallion and Bomb Stallion. Elec Stallion call forth his electric and charge at Rainbow. She quickly counter by firing at him. After Elec Stallion was knock down, Cut Stallion threw his sub rolling cutter which Rainbow dodge by standing on her back hooves and turn her to body to the side. She then ran up and deliver an uppercut that knock him into the air and crash into Guts Stallion who started to rush in. Ice Stallion stood back up and ready his ice. Rainbow fire casing him to throw his aim off and freeze Bomb Stallion instead. Once they were all down, Rainbow walk over and pick up Elec Stallion.

"Give up, I really don't want to hurt you. You were made to help ponies, not attack them." She said.

"Who in Equestria think you are?" Elec Stallion ask.

Luckily, Rainbow already came up with a name.

"I'm Mega Mare." She said and place him back on the ground.

"Fall back!" Dr. Mane-tic order.

The Robot Masters stood back up, surprise to hear an order.

"Come on we can take her!" Guts Stallion argue.

"It doesn't matter. Fall back and retreat. I have a plan." Dr. Mane-tic order again.

"That mare must be stop!" Bomb Stallion said once he thaw out of the ice.

"Follow the orders." Elec Stallion said.

The other teleported away, but Fire Stallion remain to look at her.

"Mega Mare. We will meet again." He said before teleporting after the others.

Rainbow was about to go after them, but decide against it because she didn't know where they were going. She stop the attack for now and Canterlot was safe. She look around to see ponies coming out of their hiding places and some even got close to her.

"It save now, but I fear they may return." She said.

"Who are you?" A pony ask.

They don't recognize me? I even have parts of my mane and my whole tail in plain sight and they don't know it me? Rainbow thought in surprise.

None-less she answer them with the same name as she told the Robot Masters.

"I'm Mega Mare and I will stop Dr. Mane-tic." She said and was teleported away.

All the ponies watch as she did and some look in the sky. Mega Mare, a Mare of Justice. They knew there was hero along them.



In a dark room, the Robot Masters stood in front of Dr. Mane-tic with a map of Canterlot on the wall.

"Here the plan, you will spit the city in six parts and do what you do best. That way the city will fall faster and the Princesses will be unable to stop you." She said.

"What about this blue mare? This...Mega Mare?" Elec Stallion ask.

"She is not like the rest of you. She was once a pony that lost her life saving a Filly from a fire. Me and Light rebuild her into a robot while still keeping her memories. If she appear again, destroy her! She already turn down my offer and now is an enemy to my new empire." Dr. Mane-tic said.

Fire Stallion was quite surprise to hear how Mega Mare die. But he kept it hidden. He knew once he meets her again he can then ask. He was also wondering why she didn't want to fight. Again he had to wait until he meets her again.

"Now here are the places, chose your mark and start attacking. Dismiss!" Dr. Mane-tic said.

They all walk out and look over the map to decide which area to go after first. The battle was far from over, oh no, it only just began.
> Mega Mare Vs. Cut Stallion
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rainbow teleport in Light Lab were Light, Melody and her friends were waiting for her. Rainbow step up and remove her Helmet.

"Rainbow are you alright?" Twilight ask.

"Yeah.", She said and turn to Light, "I did my best not to destroy them. I just wanted to send a message."

"Ya know Rainbow, You are sounding less then the one we know." Applejack said.

"And is that suppose to mean?!" Rainbow yell before she nearly fell flat on her face.

"Take it easy Rainbow Dash. Your body still needs time to adjust to your new battle body." Light said helping her up.

"Right, still having a hard time believing you and Spay turn me into a robot." Rainbow said as she place a hoof on a nearby table to keep herself up.

"Melody, why don't you go take Rainbow to get a Energy Can so she can rest up a bit." Light said.

"Sure, come on Rainbow." Melody said and lead Rainbow out of the room.

Once they were gone Twilight decide to ask something.

"Is there any way we can help?" She ask.

"For now, just be by her side when she alone. And for some strange reason I can't find a trance of the Robot Masters. Either Spay found a way to block it or remove it, both which sound impossible." Light answer and then told them.

Twilight nods. They couldn't really help, but Twilight was starting to get the ideas of what Light and Spay made. Maybe she can build something for Rainbow Dash. Before she could, they all notices Pinkie was staring at the window.

"Pinkie, What in tarnation are ya doing?" Applejack ask.

"I'm keeping a eye out for the Robot Masters." Pinkie said turning around with binoculars on with her eye sticking out a little.

Light look at Pinkie confuse while the others just shook their heads. Spike then spit out a letter that Twilight knew was from Princess Celestia, she open it and read that one of the Robot Masters was spotted in a forest and she keeping all ponies away until Rainbow can deal with him.

"A forest? That was suppose Cut Stallion job before Spay reprogram him." Light said when he heard what was on the letter.

"We better go get Rainbow Dash." Rarity said and the group nods.



In another of the lab, Rainbow was sitting down with her helmet in her hoof. She already drink the Energy Can, which she found tasty, then again that properly her robot self, and thinking about what happen. Melody walk over and sat next to her.

"You ok Rainbow?" She ask.

"No, Ever since I was reborn, I been different then I'm use to." Rainbow said looking at her hooves.

"Well, what were you like before this?" Melody ask.

"Well, I was bash, always wanted to show off, practice my flying, taking naps about anywhere at anytime, But now? Those are gone. My new body doesn't have them anymore. I have no regrets of Light and Spay bringing me back, it just, why me? Why did I have to die and be reborn?" Rainbow told her, sighing at the end.

"Hey, I can't say I didn't know you before you were reborn, but maybe there a reason." Melody said.

"Huh?" Rainbow ask.

"You know, when I read the paper about your death I never seen Light so worry before. I knew he still trying to get over his wife death, but hearing about yours remind him of her. So he got Spay and rush to the hospital telling me to watch over the lab. And now that I think about it, you got the same fur coat as her." Melody said.

"Does he have a picture of her around here?" Rainbow ask.

"Sure! Hang on." Melody said and rush away coming back a few seconds later with a picture.

Rainbow took it and saw it was a Pegasus with her fur coat and Celestia's mane and tail. Rainbow didn't expect Light have a wife to look like a fuse of her and Celestia. Her cutie mark was a little tricky to see, but Rainbow could make out to what looks to be a leaf of some short.

"Wow, not only is she pretty, but she looks like me and Celestia combine." Rainbow said out loud.

"I think that one of the reason why he brought you back." Melody said before the others walk in the room.

"Rainbow, we got trouble in the Forest." Applejack said.

"Trouble? Which one?" Rainbow ask, putting the picture down and standing up.

"Cut Stallion, we don't know what he's doing, but we do know it can't be good." Fluttershy answer, worry about the animals in the forest.

Rainbow place on her helmet and check her energy.

"I'm good to go, Light how close can you get me to Cut Stallion?" Rainbow said then ask.

"I'll get you as close as I can. We don't want falling into a trap." Light said.

"Right, time for Mega Mare to make her return." Rainbow said ready to fight once more.

Melody could see what Rainbow was talking about now. She always live for adventures but some of the things she use to do were gone. Melody smile, there was one thing Rainbow over look. No matter how much she change she will always be who she is.



Rainbow was teleported in a forest and look around. No enemies in sight so far. She walk into the forest keeping an eye out for anything unknowing that she was being follow. As Rainbow walk through the forest she felt highly unease. Normally she won't shrug it off but her new body really made her pay attention no matter what, she was still getting use to it after all. As Rainbow walk on, she stop wherever she heard something and ready her buster. When noting appear, she move on. Rainbow continue and kept an eye out for any thing. She just look away for a second before hearing something behind her. Rainbow span around and rise her buster. She stop when she saw a grey Unicorn with a red mane and tail. He even had shades on. His cutie mark had some shield on it. Rainbow lower her buster and look at him.

The two look at each other before Rainbow broke the silence, "What are you doing here? It dangerous."

"I know.", He said with calm voice, "I saw you going in and follow you."

"I see, Well you better get out of here then. By the way, I'm Mega Mare." Rainbow said and decide to be friendly.

"I'm just a unicorn trying to watch out for trouble." He said and held out his hoof.

Rainbow shook it and started to walk away when she heard him say, "Being a robot has noting to do on what you are. As Robots, we want to be normal."

Rainbow stop and turn around, but saw he was no where in sight. She did heard a whistle tune in the air. Rainbow look around confuse, just who was that pony? She shook her head and walk away wondering who that unicorn was.



After walking for a while Rainbow heard the sound of something cutting. She had one guess who that was. She walk into a clearing to see Cut Stallion throwing his Rolling Cutter at trees to practice his attack. Then he notices Rainbow.

"Mega Mare. I see you made it." He said.

"Getting to you wasn't hard. The walk through the forest was nice." She said crossing her hooves and closing her eyes.

"I made it easy for you. The others won't be so nice. Though Fire Stallion be acting strange." Cut Stallion said then whisper to himself.

"Well, If you surrender, we can skip the fight. Being robot help see things differently then I have before." Rainbow said opening her eyes.

"Sorry Mega Mare, but that won't happen, You are maybe a robot. But you don't know a thing about being one." Cut Stallion said and got ready to fight.

Rainbow sigh and uncross her hooves.

"I really did not want it to come to this. I'm sorry Cut Stallion." Rainbow said.

"Hm, I heard you were different then this, what a matter? Being a robot got you down?" Cut Stallion ask and then threw his Rolling Cutter at her.

Rainbow roll out of the way and return fire. Cut Stallion raise his hooves to block the shots, but he didn't know that what Rainbow wanted. She rush up and threw an upper cut like she did before knock him away a bit. Rainbow then ran up and threw another punch that knock Cut Stallion back a little. He was caught off guard when Rainbow kick him. He spin around then fire his Rolling Cutter which Rainbow dodge.

"Miss me!" She said smiling started to feel like her old self.

However she didn't see them come back and was hit.

"Did I?" Cut Stallion ask mimicking Rainbow's smile.

Rainbow jump back up and fire her buster once more. Cut Stallion block the attack again and was thinking Rainbow was going for another uppercut and flip away. Only to see Rainbow standing and raising her buster. She fire again and hit Cut Stallion. He grab his hoof as sparks come from it. Rainbow smile again before she knew the only way to stop him.

"Cut Stallion, let's stop this fight. I don't want to destroy you." Rainbow said lowering her buster.

"Don't waste your time! You're just a robot like us! You have to follow your program!" Cut Stallion said.

"I don't have a program! I doing what I think is right." Rainbow told him and was caught off guard by a Rolling Cutter.

Rainbow was knock to a tree and close her eyes as she grab her side in pain. She open one eye to see another Rolling Cutter heading for her. Putting her boots to work Rainbow jump in the air and try to flip her wings. But instead of flying, she floated back to the ground softly.

What? I can't fly? Wait a minute...Light said this was a prototype! That means it not done yet! So no flying in this armor, only gliding and floating, got it! Rainbow thought and raise her buster again.

She fire a fire shots, making Cut Stallion raise his hooves again and once Rainbow stop and Cut Stallion ran to her and threw a punch. Rainbow saw it coming and block it before returning her own punch knocking him back. Rainbow fire her buster again and again trying to give lots of space between them. Once he was far away enough and charge after him. Cut Stallion land on his hooves and threw his Rolling Cutter at her. Rainbow dodge by moving side-to-side, but reach him and threw another punch that Cut Stallion block with both hooves.

"I must say Mega Mare. You are good, for a robot." Cut Stallion said.

"Two thing Cut Stallion, One I'm not a robot, I'm an pony.", Rainbow told him before getting a sad look on her face, "and two, I'm sorry."

Cut Stallion was confuse until he feel something force it way through his body. He step away and look down to see his citrus buzzing. He look up at Mega Mare and knew what happen. By using both hooves to block her punch, he left himself open for her buster attack. He was going easy on her to test her and now notices that was his down fall. And the look in her eyes told him that she was not please with what she did. Cut Stallion felt his systems shutdown and he fell to the ground casing dust to raise from it.

Rainbow sigh and knee down. She look at Cut Stallion and sigh again.

"Normally I would make a joke and say something like 'Rest in pieces', but I haven't been myself since I was reborn.", Rainbow said, "I am a pony and a robot. But I keep seeing myself as a robot when I'm trying to a pony like I always was. Good-bye my friend."

As Rainbow soon say that, she place her hoof on Cut Stallion body. No sooner then she did, a glow appear around her.

Coping Weapon....

Rainbow snap her eyes open and stood up. She watch as her dark blue on her turn grey and the light blue turn white. Rainbow was surprise.

Weapon Get! You got Rolling Cutter!

Rolling Cutter? Is this the Weapon Copy ability? Rainbow thought and decide to try it out.

She raise her buster and shot out a blades that cut like scissors and spin around. She caught it when it coming back to her and she look in surprise.

Heh, I got to say, that pretty cool. Rainbow thought smiling a little.

She look down at Cut Stallion and pick up him up. She knew Light will be glad to see Cut Stallion and hopeful fix him. Rainbow teleported away unknowing she was being watch by the Grey/red Unicorn and by Dr. Mane-tic.



In Dr. Mane-tic lab, she growl at Rainbow defeating Cut Stallion and somehow getting his weapon. She reach over her controls and contact the rest of the Robot Masters.

"Masters! This Mega Mare just defeated Cut Stallion! When you face her don't take her lightly!" She order.

"It not a problem, I can crush her in one punch." Guts Stallion said proudly.

"She won't stop me. After all, I'm the strongest." Elec Stallion said let his electric lose a little.

"She sounds really tough. Stand your ground Soldier!" Ice Stallion said acting scare at first then having an sudden change in person.

"Heh, If she comes after me. She in for a big boom." Bomb Stallion said laughing.

"Something tells me we don't want to underestimate her. She was born a pony unlike us." Fire Stallion said as he lead on a building watching ponies walk by.

"Fire Stallion is correct, Me and Light rebuild her ever well, however, I never got a chance to study her body. But no matter, keep up on what your doing and don't go easy on her!" Dr. Mane-tic order again and shut the connection.

Fire Stallion close his eyes and give a small, 'hm' before opening and looking in the sky.

Mega Mare...I got questions for you and you better still alive until there. He thought.
> Mega Mare Vs. Elec Stallion
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rainbow once more teleport back into Light's Lab and set Cut Stallion on the table. She sigh once more his words still echoing around in her head. She look at Cut Stallion once more.

"Rainbow Dash?" She heard and turn around.

There she saw her friends at the door staring at her. There was one reason she could think of why.

"So how do I turn this off?" Rainbow ask hoping somepony knew.

Light step up and raise her right hoof, which was her buster, and open a screen. Rainbow then saw that a strange bar with the letters 'CUT' near it. She saw another that just had the letter 'P' on it. Light highlight the 'P' and she turn back to her normal colors.

"WOW!", Pinkie shouted and rush up to her, "I didn't know you can change colors, Rainbow."

"That what the Copy Weapon Ability does. In order to know what weapon is being use, the armor changes colors show the user that he/she is using the weapon they want." Light explain.

As Light explain how the copy weapon system work, Twilight notices that Rainbow was looker more "blue" then normal. She saw Cut Stallion and walk up to him. Twilight saw the damage that was done and guess Rainbow had no choice, but it still didn't explain why Rainbow look this way. She turn to see Rainbow walk out and had in mind to follow her. She knew Rainbow needs one thing right now and that was a friend by her side.



Rainbow sat down in the park after taking her armor off. She look up and saw ponies going on with their lives not knowing what she was going through. Her death and rebirth was long forgotten. Now Mega Mare was the talk of the village. Rainbow sigh before felling something tap her side. She turn and look down to see a filly. It took her awhile, but she notices that the filly look just like the one she save!

"Hi!" She said.

"Hey." Rainbow smile.

"I know you! Your that mare that save my life!" She shouted once she knew her.

"Heh, heh." Rainbow laugh sheepish.

"But I thought your were dead and thought somepony just make that robot up!" She said.

"Well, it true I die, but that robot was indeed me." Rainbow said.

"Wow, But how did they..." The filly started to ask.

"Heh, I don't know really. I wasn't alive when they turn me into a robot." Rainbow said then frown.

"What's wrong?" The Filly ask.

"It just, I don't feel like myself. Ever since I was reborn I feel more robot then a pony." Rainbow said sadly.

"It doesn't matter if your a robot. Your still a pony in my eyes, miss...uh?" The Filly said before she remember she didn't know the mare name.

"Rainbow Dash kid, The fastest Pegasus in Equestria." Rainbow told her.

"Rainbow Dash? That's a cool name!" The Filly smile.

"Heh, I am cool." Rainbow smile back.

"I'm Sunrise." The Filly said.

"Nice to met you Sunrise. So what are you doing here?" Rainbow said then ask.

"I'm just here to play with my friends when I saw you and couldn't help that you look familiar." Sunrise said.

"Yeah, I bet some ponies are having trouble believing that I'm alive. Heh, I bet even Cloudsdale will be shock." Rainbow said then laugh at the image of the ponies in Cloudsdale faces.

"Hey Sunrise!", A voice call out, "You know what time it is?"

"Oh, not her again." Sunrise groan.

Rainbow look up to see a red filly with a black mane and tail. She had a jewel for her cutie mark and Rainbow wasn't sure, but that filly remind her of some one when she was younger.

"What now Jewels?" Sunrise ask.

"Don't pretend you don't know. I'm going to have fun this time." Jewels smile.

"You're not going to pick on me anymore! I'm putting my hoof down." Sunrise said.

Rainbow smile to see that filly stand up for herself after hearing that she was pick on by this Jewels pony.

"Hey! You do what I say when I say! Just because your family rich doesn't mean you can boss me around." Jewels said.

Sunrise family is rich? Rainbow thought in surprise.

"Does it look like I care am richer then you? You think that because I'm rich that make me a target? Well you are dead wrong! I'm trying to be a normal pony." Sunrise shouted at her.

So, she's trying to be normal too? I guess not even pony has the same problem trying to fit in or in my case fit back in. Rainbow thought once more.

"Don't you dare raise your voice at me!" Jewel shouted back and started to throw a punch.

Sunrise was getting ready to duck when something blue move in front of her and the sound of a loud "CLANG!" was heard. She look up to see Rainbow Dash in front of her taking the blow. She look past Rainbow to see Jewel holding her hoof as she cry out in pain.

Once she stop, Jewels turn to Rainbow and said, "Hey! Stay out of this!"

"No, I'm quite surprise to hear that Sunrise is rich and she trying her best to fit in and all you care about is showing her place? If there one thing I hate, its bullies." Rainbow said.

"So you hire a body-guard? HA! Like she will help you." Jewels said to Sunrise laughing.

"I'm not her body-guard. I'm Rainbow Dash, the pegasus that give her life to save a live." Rainbow told her.

"What?! Likely Story." Jewels said.

"You know, you remind me of a bully that try to pick on me when I was a filly. Sea Blaze, yeah, that it." Rainbow said.

"Sea Blaze? You know my dad?" Jewels ask surprise.

"Sure do, now I know he might be proud of you doing this, but I can sure that if Sunrise parents found out, you both will be in big trouble." Rainbow said.

"HA! As if! Her parents are too busy being rich to do anything thing." Jewels laugh.

"Hm, I met lot of rich ponies in Canterlot and there one rich pony that treat others the way he want them to be treated, What was his name again? Oh ya, Fancy Pants." Rainbow said.

The name Fancy Pants shock both Jewels and Sunrise. Jewels knew about Fancy Pant from her father and Sunrise knew because he was her uncle.

Rainbow look back down and added, "That what he did when he met my friend Rarity and when he met us. We may be from Ponyville, but we were good friends."

"Sunrise!" Another voice all out casing the three to rise their heads.

"That Mom." Sunrise said.

"Great, you got luckily this time Sunrise, but next time your body-guard won't save you." Jewels said and limp away.

Rainbow cover her mouth to hide a smile. She notices that Jewels was keeping her hoof in the air during the whole talk and she didn't figure out Rainbow was a robot. Rainbow turn to see earth pony in dress that could make Rarity go nuts over with an light blue mane and tail. Her fur coat was yellow and she couldn't see her cutie mark.

"Sunrise, what did we say about talking to stranger ponies?" She said.

"But Mom, this is the mare that save me from the burning mansion." Sunrise told her.

She look at Rainbow and knew she was part of normal ponies, but if she was the one that save Sunrise then she might as well thank her.

"Thanks miss for saving my daughter." She said.

"No Problem, Names Rainbow Dash." Rainbow said and held out her hoof for a shake.

"Dress Rich." She said not taking the hoof.

"Gezz, and I just stood up for Sunrise when she was going to get hit." Rainbow said.

"WHAT?!" Dress Rich shouted and started to look over Sunrise for any marks.

"Mom! I'm fine. Rainbow Dash took the blow." Sunrise said.

Dress Rich look back at Rainbow and notices there wasn't a mark in her.

"How come your not hurt?" She ask.

"Two reasons, One I'm a grown mare and two I'm a robot." Rainbow told her.

"What?" Dress Rich ask confuse.

"Mom, she die after she save me and was rebuild to be a robot." Sunrise said.

"I can vote for that." Another voice said that Rainbow knew.

"Twilight?" She ask as they turn to see her walk up.

"Twilight? Wait, you mean Twilight Sparkle? The student of Princess Celestia?" Sunrise ask.

"Heh, yeah." Rainbow laugh.

"I been looking for you Rainbow, I notices that you been more down then before. You want to talk about it?" Twilight said to her.

"I don't believe it, what is the Princess student doing here of all places?" Dress Rich asked.

"It a long story, but the Princess let me stay here to be with my friends." Twilight said before thunder was heard in that sky.

"That odd, the was no reports of a storm today." Dress Rich said.

"I hear ya. The Weather Factory said there won't be a storm for another three weeks." Rainbow said.

Then a Thunderbolt strike out of the clouds and headed right for them!

"MOVE!" Rainbow shouted and they jump out of the way.

They stood up to see a black spot were they just where.

"Something tells me this is no normal storm." Twilight said.

"I'm going to have to agree with you Twilight. I'm guess it Dr. Mane-tic robots." Rainbow said.

"Heh, you're right!" Say another voice as they turn.

Rainbow and Twilight stood in front of Dress Rich and Sunrise ready to fight as Elec Stallion walk up to them.

"Nice dodge there, of course I only did that to find Mega Mare." He said smiling.

"Mega Mare huh? Well you're looking at her." Rainbow told him.

"Who Mega Mare?" Dress Rich whisper to herself.

"Twilight, can you teleport my armor to me? I sure Light had to make the armor with a teleport system if I can't get back to the lab to change." Rainbow ask her friend.

"Yeah, he did. Hang on." Twilight said and started to focus her magic.

She close her eye as the spell started to become harder to do, but soon Rainbow was cover in a bright light and once it faded, she stood there as Mega Mare. Elec Stallion was quiet surprise to see Mega Mare being a pony that live along ponies. Looks like Dr. Mane-tic wasn't lying.

"So you ready think you can stop me? The strongest of the Robot Masters?", Elec Stallion ask, "Heh, can you handle my power?"

"Heh, being a Pegasus is easier then you think. I know a lot about your electric." Rainbow said.

"We better get out of here.", Twilight told the two ponies who was a bit confuse on what was going on, "I got a feeling that this is not going to be pretty."

They nods and ran off. Rainbow look to see them do that. That will make it easier for her. With ponies nearby she will have to worry about their safely. Elec Stallion notices too, but let them go. He wanted a fair fight. He call his electric and fire at her. Rainbow jump out of the way and fire back. She was shock as Elec Stallion suddenly disappear, making her miss.

"What?! Where did he..." She said before she heard something from behind her.

"Are you sure you know about my electric?" He ask before shooting more at her.

"AGHHHHHHHHHH!" Rainbow shouted and then fell to the ground once he stop.

"Heh, you should know that I the first Robot Master that Light built. You are a sad waste of a robot." Elec Stallion said.

"And I know Light would want you back.", Rainbow said as she roll around, "so please come with me back to Light and we can fix you."

"HA! Like I'm fall for that. Light may created me, but Dr. Mane-tic is my master. And you are in her way." Elec Stallion said and raise his front hooves as to smash her.

Rainbow roll out of the way and jump back up and fire her buster. She made a hit, but watch in surprise as Elec Stallion move towards her at a speed she never seen before. She felt a hoof hit her and was knock away. She roll on the ground before jumping back up. She saw Elec Stallion appear in front of her and jump in the air to dodge a punch.

"How can he move so fast? I can move at the speed of sound once I break the Sound Barrier." Rainbow ask herself.

"It simple.", She heard from behind her, "Electric is light and light travel faster then sound."

Rainbow cry out again as she felt the electric shock her. Once it stop she fell to the ground. She try to push herself up only for Elec Stallion to push a hoof down on her.

"Look at you, I don't get how you beat Cut Stallion. Your a weakling." He said and ready his electric again.

Before he could fire, something jump on him and grab his mane. As he turn to figure out what was pull it, he heard a voice.

"You leave Rainbow Dash alone!" Say small voice.

"Sunrise!" Dress Rich shouted to her daughter.

Rainbow roll away and saw Sunrise on Elec Stallion. She was surprise to see her do a dangerous thing.

"GET OFF ME YOU LITTLE FILLY!" Elec Stallion shouted and release his electric over his body.

"AGHHHHHHHHH!" Sunrise scream as she was shock.

"SUNRISE!" Dress Rich shouted.

Rainbow watch as she was shock. After Elec Stallion stop, she felt to the ground. Rainbow just look at her. The Filly she save in the burning mansion was hurt. Rainbow just stare at her when Elec Stallion sigh.

"She luckily she didn't get a full power shock. Now to deal with you." He said and turn back to Rainbow.

Rainbow just continue look at Sunrise. She was breathing, but was badly hurt. Rainbow couldn't get over this was her fault. She wanted to protect her, but instead she let her get hurt. She look down the shock well in her eyes.

"So long Mega Mare. It been nice knowing ya." Elec Stallion and ready his electric again.

"Sunrise." Rainbow whisper.

"Hm?" Elec Stallion ask.

Rainbow stood up and look at him. Elec Stallion was totally surprise at the look in her eyes. The look was the look of she just lost some one and was out for blood. Rainbow step forward and Elec Stallion took a step back forgetting he still had his electric out. He was terrified by Rainbow's look.

"If your the strongest Robot Master then what stopping you from destroy me? Is it because of the first rule of the robotics? Or is it because your scare?" Rainbow said walking closer.

Elec Stallion didn't know what was going on. He just continue to walk back as Rainbow walk towards him. Then he notices his electric was still out.

"I'm not scare of anything! THUNDER BEAM!" He shouted and fire his attack.

It hit Rainbow covering her in smoke.

"Heh, I was worry for bit there." He said smiling.

But it fade as he saw Rainbow step out with the electric cracking over her.

"WHAT?! But how? The last few times you cry out in pain!" He shouted.

"That because I didn't know what to expect from you. Cut Stallion went easy on me because he thought I was joke. Too bad he thought that and you, you just hurt a filly. You just broke the first Robotic Rule!" Rainbow said then her armor change to grey and white.

"What?! Your armor, it just change color." He said.

"Yeah, and here taste of my attack. ROLLING CUTTER!" Rainbow said then fire a Rolling Cutter from her buster.

The Rolling Cutter hit his body and his core. He cry out in pain as the shock was too great for him to control. Once the shock stop, he drop. Rainbow walk over and raise her buster at the falling robot. She was attending to destroy him here and now for hurting a filly. She was stop by small voice.

"Don't do it Mega Mare."

Rainbow look back and saw Sunrise stand up weakly.

"Please, I know he didn't mean it. It was my fault. I rush in without thinking." She said.

The look in Rainbow eyes disappear and replace with sadness. She turn back at Elec Stallion and lower her buster then knee to him.

"Elec Stallion, don't worry. You be fix up once you reach Light's Lab." She said and place her hoof on his body.

Once more Rainbow glow and hear the thought in her head.

Weapon Get! You got Thunder Beam

The dark blue once again turn grey but this time the light blue turn yellow. She then turn it off, seeing she didn't need it right now.

Rainbow sigh and turn to see Sunrise talking to walk to her. She fell as she got close, but Rainbow caught her.

"That was very stupid. You could have been kill." Rainbow told her.

"I know, but if it wasn't for the mare who save my life, I wouldn't return the favor." She said.

"Heh, you remind me of Scootaloo." She said.

"Scootaloo?" Sunrise ask.

"Yeah she a filly like you and is my number one fan. She looks up to me." Rainbow said.

"Well, I do too. You were awesome!" Sunrise said before grabbing her sides.

"You might want to rest, Hey Twilight!" Rainbow told her then call out to the unicorn.

"Yeah, Rainbow?" Twilight ask.

"Take Elec Stallion back to Light Lab. I got a filly to take to Ponyville hospital." She said.

Twilight smile, looks like she was started to get over being a robot. She nods and said, "Sure, I'll let the others know where your at."

Dress Rich stood there for a few seconds before running after Rainbow worry about her daughter. Twilight use her magic and look at them. She smile as Rainbow started to tell Dress Rich about herself. Twilight then turn and walk back to Light's Lab.



"GAH! Mega Mare has defeated Elec Stallion! The rest of you better not fail me!" Dr. Mane-tic shouted.

"Relax Doc, Elec Stallion was the second strongest of all of us. I crush her in no time." Guts Stallion said.

"This does look bad.", Ice Stallion said before his voice change suddenly, "Delay that talk soldier!"

"I gotta admit, I didn't think she'll beat Elec Stallion." Bomb Stallion said.

"Hm..." Fire Stallion hmph to himself.

"Remember fail me and you all be buckets for the scrape yard!" She shouted. 
> Mega Mare Vs. Ice Stallion
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few hours later, Rainbow left the hospital after dropping Sunrise. She was still in her armor and many ponies were shock to see her. Rainbow roll her eyes. When she enter the hospital, both Doctor Stable and Nurse Redheart were shock and wasn't sure what to make of her. Luckily her voice snap them out of it when she told them what happen. Dr. Stable took Sunrise and got a few ponies to help. Nurse Redheart ask who she was. She told them that she was Mega Mare and then left. Rainbow didn't far when she spotted the Cutie Mark Crusaders not to far from her and Scootaloo didn't see a small rock because she was looking at her friends. She hit the rock and they all flew through the air.

Scootaloo wasn't sure what just happen. One minute she and her friends flying through the air then the next a strange pony in blue armor caught them.

"You're three alright?" She ask.

"Yeah! Thank you...um?" Sweetie Belle said.

"Mega Mare, Gezz I got to known by now. I just fought two of Dr. Mane-tic robots." She said shaking her head.

"Rainbow Dash?" Scootaloo ask knowing that voice.

"Yeah, it me." Rainbow said before the three started to look all over her.

"Rainbow, how did get that armor?" Sweetie Belle ask.

"And is it part of the Canterlot guards armor?" Apple Bloom ask next.

"It cool too!" Scootaloo said last.

"It a prototype. It not finish, but I'm using to stop Dr. Mane-tic from taking over Equestria." She answer their questions at once.

"Really? Wait, isn't that dangerous?" Sweetie Belle ask fearfully.

"So far nothing has put my new life in danger. I think it because I'm a robot now." Rainbow said, thinking about it.

"So what now?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Well, don't know really." Rainbow answer.

"Hey Rainbow, what are you doing at the Ponyville Hospital?" Scootaloo ask.

"Just dropping off a hurt filly." Rainbow answer again.

"An hurt filly? Is she ok?" Apple Bloom ask.

"Yeah Sunrise is fine. She just got to rest for a bit." Rainbow said smiling.

"Sunrise?" Sweetie Belle ask.

"The filly I save from the burning building." Rainbow said.

"Wow! I heard you did that and it really crush my heart when you die." Scootaloo said sadly.

"Hey, don't worry. I maybe a robot, but I'm still Rainbow Dash." Rainbow said and mess up Scootaloo mane.

Scootaloo roll her eyes, but smile. She was glad Rainbow was still cool even as a robot.

"So, what now?" Apple Bloom ask.

"I plan on returning to Light's Lab for right now. I got to see how Cut and Elec Stallions are doing." She said.

"Cut and Elec Stallions? Aren't those the Robot Masters that Light and Spay build?" Sweetie Belle ask.

"Yeah, you all heard about Spay trying to take over the Equestria?" Rainbow ask and they nod, "she reprogram the Robot Masters and I'm fighting them to stop Spay who change her name to Dr. Mane-tic."

"Really? Is that why you call yourself Mega Mare?" Apple Bloom ask.

"As of now, yeah." Rainbow answer.

"Can we go see them too?" Sweetie Belle ask.

"Heh, I'm sure Light won't mind. Plus Melody would like to see you three again." Rainbow said smiling.

Rainbow turn back to the hospital and saw Sunrise looking out the window. Rainbow wave to her and she wave back.



Ice Stallion look over Ponyville and begin to think.

"It a peaceful place." He said.

"It also home to the enemy!" His other side said.

"She just doing her job." He said.

"And we'll do ours!" The other side said.

"But..." He started to said.

"Enough talk Soldier! It time to fight the enemy!" His other side said.

Ice Stallion jump from the cliff and land on the ground ready to start his mission.



Rainbow and the CMC's made it to Light's Lab and saw Cut Stallion outside looking at the sky.

"Cut Stallion?" Rainbow ask.

"Huh? Oh, Mega Mare!" He said and stood up.

"Looks like Light not only repair you, but program you back to the way you were." Rainbow smile.

"He did and I'm going to repay for what I did. But right now Light said it better to wait until all of us is save." Cut Stallion.

"Yeah, many ponies might have trouble being around you." Rainbow said.

"So what brings you here?" Cut Stallion ask.

"To see how you and Elec Stallion are doing." Rainbow answer.

"I'm doing great and Elec Stallion should be done by now." Cut Stallion said.

"Right you are, my dear Cut Stallion." Elec Stallion said as he step up.

"Ah, Mega Mare! It nice to met you my lady." He said acting like a Gentlecolt. 

"You can just call me Rainbow Dash now. Mega Mare is just a name I made up." Rainbow said.

"Rainbow Dash, a fast name like yourself." Elec Stallion said.

"Wow, He sound really different then before." Scootaloo said.

Yes, It was the way I was program before I was reprogram." Elec Stallion said before a snow flake fell on his nose.

"Huh? Snow?" He ask.

"What? But there isn't suppose snow for another four months." Rainbow said.

"Wait, there only one pony that can do this." Cut Stallion said.

"ICE STALLION!" The Three shouted.

They ran inside with the CMC following them.

Light saw them run in and knew the problem.

"Yes, Ice Stallion has show himself. It appears that he trying to get you to come out Rainbow." He said looking outside.

"Where is he? I got to stop him and bring him back to his real family." Rainbow ask.

"Real?" Cut Stallion asked, looking at her.

"Family?" Elec Stallion finish also looking at her.

"Of course! You guys are brother right? If I save him then I have only have half of the amount of Robot Masters." Rainbow said smiling.

The two nods. They understand what Rainbow was doing.

"Rainbow Dash, before you go we would like to teach you to master our attacks." Cut Stallion said.

"Huh?" Rainbow ask.

"It won't take long Rainbow. The way you have our attacks are very weak, but if we can teach you to master them then fighting our brothers should be too hard." Elec Stallion agree.

"Sure, teach away." Rainbow said ready to learn.



Ice Stallion stood in Ponyville square with snow around him. Many Ponies have heard about his reprogram and stay away. The rest of the Mane 6 also stood near by in case they can do something.

"Where Rainbow...I mean Mega Mare?" Pinkie ask.

"I don't know. Even in her new body she late." Twilight answer and sigh.

"Hm..." Ice Stallion other side said.

"Sir? Is there something wrong? Ice Stallion ask.

"Those five ponies there, they are not scare like the rest." His other side pointed out.

"Well, they already knew about us before we were activated." Ice Stallion said.

"Doesn't matter, once we freeze Mega Mare they be joining her." His other side said again.

"But..." Ice Stallion started to say.

"STAND DOWN SOLDIER!" He shouted casing all the ponies to turn to him with confuse looks.

"Um sir... I think you were a little too loud." Ice Stallion said.

"I have to agree there." Said another voice.

"Huh? Who there? Show yourself!"" Both sides of Ice Stallion ask.

"I'm here, and I will save you. I promise your brothers I would." The voice said before Rainbow drop down.

"Mega Mare. So you show up at last." Ice Stallion other side said.

"I don't know sir, she did beat two of our comrades." Ice Stallion said nervously.

"You better not back down on me now solider!" His other side yell.

Hm...sounds like Ice Stallion is trying to resist Dr. Mane-tic program, but the other is keeping him line. I better see if I can help the real Ice Stallion Rainbow thought as she watch them fight.

"So Ice Stallion!" She call out, "are you going to fight me or ague with yourself all day?"

"Heh, guess it time soldier. Let stop her for greater good." Ice Stallion other side said.

"Yes...sir." Ice Stallion said scare.

Yeah, the reprogram is trying to take over and the main program is too scare to fight back. Gezz, I'm really started to sound like a egg head. Must be my new body. Rainbow thought.

"Mega Mare by the order of Dr. Mane-tic, I will destroy you!" Ice Stallion other side said ready to fight.

"I never seen you active when I was brought to the lab, but I can assure you, I know this is not you." Rainbow said before taking a grey and white color.

"What?" Ice Stallion said in surprise.

"Hey that once of the weapons Mega Mare got from Cut Stallion." Twilight pointed out not sure if Rainbow wanted her real name being use.

"Well? You going to fight or not?" Rainbow ask.

"Oh, We'll fight, right soldier?" Ice Stallion other side ask.

"Right...sir." Ice Stallion said.

"ICE SLASHER!" Ice Stallion said and some ice in a form of a arrow shot at her.

"ROLLING CUTTER!" Rainbow shout and threw her attack.

The two attacks hit each other and the Rolling Cutter was frozen and fell to the ground.

Rainbow use the time to get close and threw a hoof punch at Ice Stallion. Ice Stallion duck under the attack and jump back. He threw another Ice Slasher and Rainbow jump back as the ground below her froze. She fires another Rolling Cutter that is frozen by Ice Stallion. Rainbow had guess that Ice Stallion doesn't have close combat skills and believe that Rolling Cuter wasn't going to cut it.

Rainbow laugh at the pun and brought her buster up. She open her weapons slot and select Thunder Beam. While the grey color remain, all the white turn yellow, showing that she had a new attack. 

"What?!" Ice Stallion ask.

"Another weapon I got from your brothers, THUNDER BEAM!" Rainbow said then fire a thunderbolt that shock him, literally. 

Ice Stallion was throw back from the shock he receive and crash into the ground. He stood back up and ready his attack again.

"Sir, she too powerful! We must retreat!" Ice Stallion said.

"Stand Down Soldier! We must defeat the enemy at all cost." Ice Stallion other side said.

"Ice Stallion, are you really going to listen to him?", Rainbow ask, "you don't want to hurt anypony and you don't want to get hurt by me. So why are your listening to him?"

Ice Stallion stood still even though his other side push him forward.

"ICE SLASHER!!!" He shouted and threw another ice arrow at her.

Rainbow just step to the side and the attack miss, hitting the ground behind her.

"Fight it Ice Stallion, your brothers are watching you." Rainbow said again.

This time Ice Stallion stop completely. His eyes were wide in shock even though his other side try to get him to move.

"What are you doing Soldier?! ", He yell, "Attack!"

"No." Ice Stallion said.

"WHAT?!" His other side yell.

"My brothers are alive. They are watching me, I won't hurt any more ponies." He said.

"She trying to trick you! Attack!!!" His other side yell.

"NO!!! This is my body and you not my leader! Get OUT!!!" Ice Stallion shouted and electric started to appear over his body as the two programs started to fight more.

"Mega Mare! Please stop me! I want to see my brothers again!" Ice Stallion shouted as he fought his other self.

Rainbow nods and raise her buster. She aim at Ice Stallion's body and fired.

Ice Stallion stop moving as both Programs felt the attack hit. The real Ice Stallion smile as he felt Dr. Mane-tic program fade at the same time his did.

"Thank you....Mega Mare..." He said and felt to the ground.

Rainbow walk up to him and knee in front him.

"Nice work, Ice Stallion. You fought the program that try to take you over and you did it. Your brothers are proud of you." She said and place her hoof on him.

 Weapon Get! You got Ice Slasher!

All the yellow on Rainbow turn white and the grey turn light blue. Showing she had Ice Slasher now. The rest of her friends step up and look at Ice Stallion.

"So he was fighting the program this whole time and it wasn't until you told him what happen to his brothers that he fought it even more." Twilight said.

"Yeah, let get him back to Light. I'm pretty sure his brothers would be happy to see him." Rainbow said and pick him up.

The rest nods and follow her back to Light Lab, unknowing that a Unicorn wearing shades was watching them.

"You're getting better Rainbow. Keep it up and soon you won't see yourself as a robot any more." He said and walk away whistling a tune as he did.



"GAH!!!!!" Dr. Mane-tic shouted as she threw an useless device at the wall.

"Mega Mare as all ready defeated half of you! If any of you fail me don't brother trying to stay alive because I'll destroy you myself!" She yell.

"Mega Mare..." Fire Stallion said in thought.

"Huh, so that Blue dweeb is tough, well guess you got to be careful now, but I still can't wait to pound you in the ground." Guts Stallion said.

"Not before I blow her to pieces!" Bomb Stallion argue.

"You both will be defeated by her. I'll fight her next." Fire Stallion said walking away from his brothers.

"And I got questions for you Mega Mare." He said to himself.
