MLP-Harmonics: Legacy pt.1

On a city made of clouds floating in the sky a young orange pegasus with purple hair wearing a backpack on a scooter races down the street as other pegasi fly out of her way as she dashes faster and faster. She eventually reaches a break in the clouds before jumping over it flapping her wings along the way, landing in front of a large crowd of other young pegasi with a older blue pegasus with rainbow hair alongside a duo of other pegasi one torques with orange hair and a black one with light blue hair.

            “You’re cutting it close pipsqueak.” The blue one says approaching the orange one.

            “Sorry Rainbow Dash, sir.” The orange one says saluting her.

            “But, those were some sweat moves there.” Rainbow Dash says losing her composure before quickly regaining it. “Okay Scootaloo, this is the third time so as punishment you’ll be the first on today’s practice session.” Rainbow Dash says berating her. “So get into formation.” Rainbow Dash says as Scootaloo rushes into the crowd.

    “Okay now then co-second in command’s Lightning Dust and Thunderlane have an announcement.” Rainbow Dash says addressing the crowd as the other pair steps in front to address the crowd.

    “Okay then, now before we begin today’s practice we have a minor announcement for you junior Wonderbolts.” Lightning Dust says to the crowd.

    “We’ll be holding a race for you junior’s within two weeks, and next week we’ll hold a qualifier for said race.” Thunderlane says addressing the crowd.

            “So then everyone do your best and to get ready for the race.” Rainbow Dash says flying over the crowd.

A while later the crowd gathers in front of a large obstacle course in the air.

            “Okay then, let’s get started because you were late Scootaloo you get first lap.” Rainbow Dash says to Scootaloo

Scootaloo stands in front of the starting line before reaching into her bag and pulling out a pair of metallic wings and straps them onto her back overlapping with her miniscule wings.

            “Okay ready to go.” Scootaloo says getting into position as Rainbow Dash signals the start.

Scootaloo races along the track faster and faster as the group look on.

            “Look at her, thinking she’s so good.” One of the little pegasi says looking at Scootaloo’s racing.

            “Yeah, she can’t even fly by herself she needs to use that pathetic apparatus thingy.” Another one says.

            “Hey I have an idea.” The other one says before whispering into the other’s ear.

Scootaloo finishes the first lap and Rainbow Dash signals the others start the course in small groups until they’ve all gotten onto the course.

            “They seem to be doing well.” Lightning Dust says looking at the young pegasi flying.

            “Yeah, your right this course could be a little too easy for them.” Rainbow Dash says observing them. “Thunderlane, turn on the weather effects.” Rainbow Dash shouts out to Thunderlane who signals a few other pegasi who fly onto the course and mess with the clouds starting a small rumbling in them.

            “Okay avoid the clouds and finish the course I wand fifty laps.” Rainbow Dash says to the young pegasi who do just that.

As they fly around the course the two little pegasi catch up to Scootaloo and the two start boxing her in before they crash into her sending her into a thunder cloud. Rainbow Dash seeing this rushes onto the course and catches Scootaloo before she falls down.

            “Everyone, today’s practice is over please leave and practice individually.” Lightning Dust says to the group who dissipate. “You two.” Lightning Dust shots out to the two little pegasi before they can leave “You two come to my office now.” Lightning Dust says threatening the pair.

A while later Scootaloo sits atop a roof looking out at the sky, before Rainbow Dash fly’s over to her.

            “How you doing squirt.” Rainbow Dash asks Scootaloo concerned for her. “Is it about your apparatus?” Rainbow Dash asks still concerned.

            “No, it’s not that it’s broken, my dad can easily fix it it’s just that I’ll miss the race at this rate.”  Scootaloo says as she opens her bag and starts looking at her apparatus.

            “How long will it take to fix?” Rainbow Dash asks curiously.

            “It’ll take a week to ship to dad, and it’ll only take him a day to fix, and then another week to ship back.” Scootaloo says explaining things.

            “Oh, yeah your dad’s living in that canyon place right?” Rainbow Dash asks curiously.

            “Yeah, the Valley of Invention.” Scootaloo says answering her.

            “So then, if it takes a regular mail-pony a week to get there, it should take me about three days at full speed.” Rainbow Dash says boasting to Scootaloo.

            “Yeah, that’s true but you can’t take it your busy running the Wonderbolts.” Scootaloo says dejected.

            “Yeah, but Lightning Dust and Thunderlane can hold the fort for a few days without me; especially if were just running training drills.” Rainbow Dash explains to Scootaloo.

            “Really?” Scootaloo says elated at the thought.

            “Yeah, besides I could use a few days for a break, I could stop by and visit my friends along the way.” Rainbow Dash says explaining things to Scootaloo.

            “Hey Rainbow Dash, do you ever miss it?” Scootaloo asks curiously.

            “Miss what?” Rainbow Dash asks curiously about her question.

            “You know, Ponyville and our friends.” Scootaloo says answering her.

            “Oh yeah, it’s been three years, I’ve been so busy since Spitfire retired and let me take charge.” Rainbow Dash says answering her. “But I do have to admit I do miss Twilight and the others.” Rainbow Dash says nostalgically.

            “Yeah I miss the other crusaders to,” Scootaloo says along with her.

            “I got an idea, how about we invite everyone to the race; I mean it’ll be your first race after all.” Rainbow Dash says thinking about their friends.

            “Wouldn’t that be difficult for everyone I mean this race is in Cloudsdale?” Scootaloo says asking Rainbow Dash.

            “Well yeah, but when I was in a similar situation Twilight came up with this spell that let everyone walk on the clouds, temporarily of course.” Rainbow Dash explains to Scootaloo.

            “Yeah, that would be awesome.” Scootaloo says excited by the idea.

            “The hard part might be finding Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie since their traveling around, but the others are defiantly in.” Rainbow Dash says explaining things.

            “So then while I’m gone I want you to practice hard even if you can’t fly right now that doesn’t excuse not practicing.” Rainbow Dash explains to Scootaloo.

            “Of course, I’ll train extra hard and I’ll defiantly win that race.” Scootaloo exclaims loudly.

As the two relax Scootaloo notices a small black cloud in the sky,

            “Hey Rainbow Dash was it supposed to rain today?” Scootaloo asks curiously.

            “I didn’t hear anything about rain.” Rainbow Dash says suspiciously as a pegasus flies up to the cloud and busts it.

As they bust the cloud it grows larger and larger until it pops and a swarm of changelings pop out from inside.

            “What the?” Rainbow Dash says surprised by the sight. “Someone gather out forces, were under attack.” Rainbow Dash exclaims as the changelings get closer.
