Mega Mare Dash
Armored Armadillo
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe fight with Spark Mandrill took a lot out of Rainbow then she thought. Her body ache a bit after the armor come off, still she couldn't believe how fast the fight when she fond the weakness of the strange monkey. She also had to admit that her secret was almost reviled to her friends before the pain kick in. Then out of nowhere she heard a voice that snap her back to where she was at.
"RAINBOW DASH! ARE YOU LISTENING?!" A voice shouted. Rainbow then remember she was at the Wonderbolts Academy for more training.
"Sorry Ma'am, still tired from yesterday, Ma'am." Rainbow said to Spitfire the leader of the Wonderbolts.
"What about yesterday?" Spitfire ask. Opps! She almost gave her secret away, She quickly recover and said, "With everything going on these few days I stay up almost all night trying to find out what going on, Ma'am."
Spitfire raise an eyebrow before seeing the sleep in Rainbow eyes. She wasn't lying of course. She did to find out why the Chaos Soldiers master wants Ponyville so badly and why they were attack other place as well. Rainbow didn't fall asleep until 2 in the morning.
"Well I see you're not lying, so I'll let take this training off this time got it?" Spitfire said. Rainbow was surprise. She was tried, but she never thought Spitfire would let her sleep during training. Noticing she was waiting for an answer, she said, "Yes Ma'am." and walk in the mess house.
After Rainbow got some shut eye, she was call into Spitfire office.
"You wanted to see me, Ma'am?" Rainbow ask.
"Yes Rainbow Dash please take a seat." Spitfire said and look at the two guards. The guards left and Spitfire began to speak again.
"You have heard about the Strange creatures that attack the four place in Equestria right?" She ask.
Why would she ask me that? Rainbow thought before she answer, "Yes and I come to call them Chaos Soldiers, Ma'am."
"You can just call me Spitfire, Rainbow Dash." Spitfire said.
"Oh, ok, Ma'am...I mean Spitfire." Rainbow said using the leader real name.
"I'm surprise that you are looking on to these strange attacks." Spitfire said.
"Well I have heard that their master wants Ponyville and since I live in there I do anything to protect my home." Rainbow explain.
"And what did you find?" Spitfire ask.
"So far nothing. I don't get it. Why take Ponyville? If it was Canterlot I can understand, but Ponyville? That strange." Rainbow answer.
Spitfire thought about it and ask, "What do you think about Mega Mare Dash?"
This caught Rainbow Dash off guard. She wanted to know what she thought about herself in her armor? None less she gave answer.
"Well Spitfire, I think she has good ways toward us and helps in any way she can and unlike some ponies I don't think she apart of the Chaos Soldiers." She said not trying to brag about herself.
"Just what I thought, So you say she a hero?" Spitfire said and ask.
"Yes I do and what do you think about her?" Rainbow ask back.
"That she a hero to me as well." Spitfire said before a knock was heard.
"Come in." Spitfire said and Soarin rush in.
"Spitfire! Something strange is going on under Snowy Mountainside!" He said.
Spitfire jump up and ask, "Are you sure?" Soarin nods and see Rainbow Dash there.
"Hey there Rainbow Dash, I heard you took a snooze during training." He said to her.
"Spitfire let me and I feel better now, but what this about Snowy Mountainside?" She ask.
"Blast! I did it again!" Soarin said face hoofing himself.
"Relax Soarin she be looking into this as well." Spitfire said.
"Really? Well that a surprise. Is she going to...you know? " Soarin said and ask.
"She already plans on joining us as a Wonderbolt you know." Spitfire remind him and at the same time telling him not to talk about their new team.
Soarin got the hit and said, "Well the others are waiting for your orders, so I'll head back." And left.
"What that all about?" Rainbow ask.
"Sorry Rainbow Dash, but that for Wonderbolts members only, you're still training." Spitfire said and walk her to the door.
"We will finish this talk another time." She said.
Yeah after I find out what going on at Snowy Mountainside caves. Rainbow thought before rose her hoof to her head and walk away.
Spitfire turn back into her office and close the door. They must be up to something. She thought before walking back to her desk. She place her hoof under the desk and hit a switch. The wall beside her open to reviled Red Armor.
Incoming Mission...Search the caves of Snowy Mountainside for Chaos Soldiers
Ready? Start!
Rainbow appear inside the caves with her armor. She look around a bit before coming to a mine cart.
Haven't seen one of these since we went to save Rarity. Rainbow thought and hop into it. No soon then she did the cart move forward and Rainbow was riding across the cave at high speeds. She couldn't help but to shout in excitement as it move. She soon saw that her ride was coming to an end when she saw a tall wall coming up ahead. She jump out a watch as the cart boucle off the wall and disappear into the darkness alone. Rainbow then turn and walk on.
She drop down a hole and heard something before here. She turn only to see some kind of machine bust through the wall and started to chase her. Using her boots, she dash away for the machine and jump over a few Chaos Soldiers and a large pit of spikes. She turn to see the machine fall into the pit and be destroy. She took a breath and move on. She spotted a second cart and hop in, hoping for another wild ride. And that just what she got. It last longer than first and once the end show up Rainbow jump out.
I never knew going thought this place would be so fun! Even Pinkie would like to ride those carts. Rainbow thought as she let her body get back to normal. She drop down another hole and land behind another strange machine. This time it start to move as she near it. She watch it dig a bit before getting bored.
This thing is way to slow, no wonder I out ran the first one. Rainbow thought as she look at her weapons choice. She has use all but two weapons she got. Spark Mandrill's attack and Flame Mammoth's attack. She decided to go with the fire wave weapon and ran up to the machine. She shot the fire wave and kept it out, without fully charging it. Once it was destroy she ran past it and jump over a pit of spikes.
She move on taking care of the Chaos Soldiers before seeing a third cart. Oh yeah, Three a charm. She thought and jump in. This one was the longest ride she been on, she even had to fire her buster to knock a few Chaos Soldiers that flew in the air. Soon her cart shot out of the cave and into the air. She saw a large cliff ahead and jump out before the cart hit it. She slide down the wall slowly until she saw a hole in the cliff.
She drop into it and saw the boss door. She walk in and recheck her weapons and energy. The three cart rides she has been on, allowed her to take little to no damage at all. Only her Electric Spark was still full with energy. She smile as she walk through the another door. One in the room she found it was empty. She raised an eyebrow and look around. Then she felt the area shake as her mind scream, “WARNING! WARNING!." She watch as a giant ball appear from the ceiling and turn into a armored creature she never seen before.
"Well I knew sooner or later I'll get some pony in my caves." It said.
"So what are you suppose to be? A Giant armored rat or something?" Rainbow ask.
"A RAT?! How dare you! I am Armored Armadillo, the one in charge here!" He yell.
"An Armadillo? Never heard of that before, Are you sure you not a rat?" Rainbow ask again.
"That it! You are going to eat dirt you useless horse!" Armored Armadillo said angrily.
That made Rainbow mad. She ready her buster as the fight began. First Rainbow fired her buster only to find Armored Armadillo curl into a ball and roll at her, causing her shot to boucle off. Rainbow Wall jump over him and charge her buster. Once Armored Armadillo uncurl she fire but watch as he absorb her charge shot and release as his own attack. Rainbow was hit and throw back from the surprise attack.
She shook her head to clear the stars that appear around her and jump just when another attack came at her. She then fire normal shot, but Armored Armadillo block them with his arms. After that he started rolling again.
His Armor project him from my attacks! I need to hit him with one that will hurt him no matter what! Rainbow thought as she quickly search through her weapons. She decided to give Electric Spark a try. All the blue left turn yellow and she fire one at Armored Armadillo. He try to block it, only to be shock when it touch him. Rainbow watch as he was electrocuted and his armor fell off.
Once Rainbow saw what he look like with out his armor she laugh and said, "I was right! You are a rat."
"Grrr! I'll show you...!" He said and started rolling again. Rainbow dodge and watch as he started to boucle all over the place. She soon found a pattern and dodge the attack with easy. Once he stop, Rainbow fired another Spark. Armored Armadillo grew even more angry and roll at her again. This went on for a few minutes until Rainbow send the last shot.
"Wh...what?!" He shouted as he stop moving.
"Too bad, I was hoping for more fun, but I guess the rat is all tried out." Rainbow tease him.
"I'm not a rat you stupid pony!" Armored Armadillo shouted as he exploded.
"Yeah, you're a rat all right." Rainbow said as she check her buster. 'Weapon Get! Rolling Shield!' Appear on it.
"Well my job done here and I got to say this has been the most fun mission I ever been on." She said before teleporting out.
Little that she knew that she was watch from the shadows.
"So you think she will joins us?" A male voice was heard.
"She getting stronger, but still has ways to go before she joins us." A female voice said.
"Are you sure? She might look like she was having fun with it, but took the fight pretty well." The male voice said again.
"Come on Soarin, She only beat five of them, and she still has many ways to go." The female voice said.
"Fine. Whatever you say, Zerofire." The voice said again and click off.
