Revenge is all that's left.

Chapter 3-Lightning Strikes again!

The pony stood confidently at the foot of the library and continued to grin widely at the young Pegasus filly. Scootaloo just stood there with anxiety, petrified by the older pony's reaction.

"Hey kid, you. Scootaloo was it." The pony called out to her, smiling widely. "What are you doing out at this hour?" Questioned the mare, disregarding Scootaloo's perplexed expression.

Scootaloo gazed up at her still in a state of shock. "Who is this pony?" Scootaloo thought silently, returning her attention to the pony that knew her name. "Um... getting home..." Scootaloo replied carefully backing away, never loosing eye contact with the mare.

"It's a beautiful moon, eh?" The mare said as she stole a quick glance of the moon with a thoughtful smile. "Kinda reminds me of my foal hood." Scootaloo nodded in agreement, sighing delightedfully at the beautiful moon of Princess Luna.

Luna had outdone herself with the moon tonight. The moon shined brightly against the darkened shadowy night campus, companied by a few small twinkling stars that stood out far in the distance. The lovely serene relaxed the orange filly, she breathed deeply  and responded with a small nod. 'Yeah.'

"Are you just going to stand there all night!" The mare snapped in a demanding tone, cutting Scootaloo's train of thought.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Scootaloo asked, backing away staring up at the mare with horrified eyes.

"Come here!" The mare suddenly charged towards Scootaloo, leaping into the air only a few feet above her.

Scootaloo gasped in confusion as the flying pony dove towards her with her hooves outstretched in her direction.

"SCOOTALOO!" A voice shriek in the distance, followed by loud galloping. She knew this voice, it was Rainbow dash.

"Rainbow dash? Is that you?" The filly asked, nearly breaking into tears.

"SQUIRT! NOOOO!" She ran faster, nearing the filly.

"Rainbow dash... I'm scared..." Scootaloo said in a quiet whisper trying to run, but tripped over a tree stump.

"SCOOTALOO! NO!" Rainbow dash shrieked loudly running towards her.

She felt somepony lift her from the ground, holding her tightly. Someone she didn't know well, someone she didn't feel safe around. She felt her body stiffen as her brain reacted on it's own and suddenly, she began pushing the pony away from her.

"Stop it you brat! I'm not going to let someone as small and defenseless as you let this opportunity slip away." The mare punched the filly on the side of her head to silence her. Blood trickled down from Scootaloo's forehead and she groaned loudly.

"Stop!! Put her down!" The voice neared and a hard impact collided with the mare's back.

The mare turned around and hissed at Rainbow dash. "Go away nerd!" She shouted with an angry glare and flew away faster, making sure not to drop the filly that was laying softly in her arms.

"Lightning dust!" Rainbow dash charged in her direction and caught up in no time.

"Oh no you don't!" Lightning dust said looking behind her back, in Rainbow dash's direction. "I've waited too long for this!"

She raised her hindlegs and gave Rainbow dash a nice hard kick square in her face.  Lightning stopped and levitated slightly and turned around to make sure Rainbow dash fell to the ground.

"Um hmm!" She nodded, laughing evilly.

"Y-You big jerk!" A voice screamed, sobbing.

Lightning dust turned her head to the direction of the voice.

"So what!" Demanded Lightning dust. "She's gotten what she deserved!"

"Y-You-"

Scootaloo's eyes went wide quickly, then slowly closed. "Y-You can't... you w-won't get away... with this..." The filly calmed down and soon fell asleep. Lightning dust removed the small white cloth from the filly's muzzle and flew down to the ground.

She landed beside Rainbow dash who was laying on the ground groaning loudly, still recovering. "Y-You b-"

A cloth was placed on Rainbow dash's muzzle, she tried crawling to Lightning dust's hooves and looked up at Scootaloo with kind eyes. "Scootaloo..." She reached up with a forehoof and stroked her mane slightly, but soon her eyes closed and her body collapsed underneath her.

"Sorry dashie!" She said teasingly and turned around, her back facing Rainbow dash.

Rainbow dash's eyes opened once more and she removed the cloth away from her muzzle. She tried getting back up on her hooves, but collapsed on to the dirt road.

"Don't worry I'll take good care of her!" Lightning dust snickered and saluted Rainbow dash as she flew off.

"Squirt..." Rainbow dash flapped her wings desperately and tried flying after Lightning dust, but was too sore to even fly, she crashed against the dirt road with a loud 'THUD'

Scootaloo's blinked her eyes open she looked up at Lightning dust, her head shaking furiously. "Dash!!"

"Scootaloo?" Rainbow dash peeked her head up and saw Scootaloo had waken up.

"Shut up!" Lighting dust punched Scootaloo and she whimpered lightly, enduring the pain in her right shoulder.

Rainbow dash got on her hooves and walked slowly over to them. Taking small baby-steps, being careful as to not trip and fall.

"Rainbow dash!" Scootaloo pulled away from Lightning and escaped her grip. Scootaloo suddendly began falling to the ground very quickly... nearing death.

"Scootaloo!" Rainbow dash shrieked moving quicker.

Lightning dust was about to fly after the filly, but stopped as a mischievous grin plastered on her face. "Actually... I'd like to see how this plays out.."

Scootaloo shut her eyes tightly and bit her lip, awaiting her faith....

Soon she stop falling and felt someone's arms around her tightly hugging her.

"Am I... dead?" Scootaloo opened her eyes and looked up into her rescuer's eyes. Their features were too blurred to make out and Scootaloo passed out, everything soon becoming black...
