The Mare of Weather, Zapp!
Rainbow's new powers
Previous ChapterLighting Dust and Flame Thunder sat in the waiting room, hoping that Rainbow was ok. They had trouble touching Rainbow as the electric kept shocking their hooves. Thanks to the rubber gloves, they had in case a Thunder Cloud gave out too much lighting, they were able to carry her to the hospital. After telling the doctors what happen and gave them rubber gloves, Rainbow was taken and was being look over. Lighting Dust sigh as she waited. She and Rainbow Dash was friends since fillyhood. Hers and her Dad's were best of pals, She also knew that her Dad fell for Rainbow mom once, but he was ok with once Rainbow dad marry her. Lighting Dust look at the ceiling hoping that Rainbow would be alright.
Flame Thunder was furious at himself, He promise Striker that he watch over his only daughter and he let him down. He knew if Daring was here, she would be furious at him as well. Flame had fire Dr. Elector for ignoring the number one rule of the factory, make sure all rooms are clear before starting anything. He look down hoping Rainbow was going to be alright.
They turn at the sound of hoof-steps as one of the doctors walk up to them.
"How is she?" Flame Thunder ask.
"Well, she's fine, but what ever happen to her it making her unstable. If she doesn't find a away to stable whatever is inside her, she may not make it." He said.
Lighting Dust eyes widen in surprise as Flame Thunder sigh.
"Thank you doctor." He said.
"You can go see her if you want." The doctor said.
"Thank you again, doctor." Flame Thunder said and they went to find the room Rainbow was in.
Rainbow open her eyes to see that she was in the hospital. She look around before raising her hoof to see electric over it. She could also see that her fur coat was wet. Rainbow got up and notice a thunderbolt necklace near her bed.
"A gift? Who would send them something when I'm in the hospital?" Rainbow asked and pick it up.
Rainbow look at it and place it on. To her surprise, the electric stop and her fur coat was now dry. Her mane fell in her eyes, which she just brush it back with her hoof to fix it. Rainbow stood up and started stretching. The door open and she saw both Lighting Dust and Flame Thunder walk in.
"Rainbow!" Lighting Dust said and hug her friend.
Flame was surprise to see that the electric around Rainbow was gone, in fact Rainbow fur coat didn't look wet, her mane wasn't moving as if there was wind around, in fact she look just fine.
"Rainbow? How did you get all stuff on you stable?" He ask.
"Not sure, I found this necklace and when I put it on, I just felt great. Rainbow said pointing to it.
Lighting Dust look at it and saw it was a thunderbolt.
"Wow, talk about matching our cutie marks." She said.
"Good to see that your ok Rainbow Dash, I'm going to take you off of school for a few days to make sure nothing else happens to your and the others students don't get hurt if they act up again." Flame Thunder said.
Rainbow nods, before seeing that pattern of a rain cloud flash through her eyes and how it was made.
"Rainbow? Are you ok?" Lighting Dust ask.
Rainbow shook her head and said, "Yeah, I'm fine."
Flame Thunder paid for Rainbow's fee in the hospital and was release at the same time. Flame Thunder took Rainbow back to her home and stop her from going inside.
"Rainbow, I want to take it easy for a while ok?" He said.
"I know. It was weird today, I take some notes for extra credit, trip in the machine and get zapped, waking up with electric, water and wind all over me, finding a necklace that makes me normal, you get my point." Rainbow said.
"Yes, but please Rainbow. You must take it easy for real. I'm giving you a whole week from school so you can recover. I'll let your teachers know and Lighting Dust will bring your homework over so you two can study." He said.
"Thanks, Flame." Rainbow said and walk inside.
Rainbow decide that she needed a nap after what happen and thought a cloud would be better then a bed. Her necklace glowed and a cloud appear in front of her.
"Whoa! Where did that come from?" She asked herself.
Rainbow then yawn and look at the cloud.
"I'll worry about that later, I'm tried after what happen today." She said and lay down on it.
Dr Elector sat in his office in his house and look up to see some of his workers enter the room.
"Hey boss, sorry about your job." One of them said.
"It doesn't matter, that machine was a failure anyways." Elector said.
"I heard that a pegasus fell in as it started up." Another one said.
"Does that means it got the some powers as you boss?" An third one ask.
"It possible, but unlike if she even survive her powers. After all, I'm the only one that can do so." Elector said.
"I got an idea boss, why do you bring the pegasus in? Have her join us, teach how to control her new found powers." The second thug said.
Elector thought about it and said, "Mace, my good friend, that a wonderful idea. But we need to wait until she show her powers. We got to make sure we don't get the wrong one. I haven't learn the name of the pegasus fell in, but I do know she close to Flame Thunder."
"Thanks boss." Mace said, smiling.
"Mace, come up with an idea?" The third thug ask.
"He normally too stupid to think of something like that." The first one agree.
"Now, now gentle-colts, Mace can come up with a plan every now and then. Take the time to enjoy it, before he returns to his stupid self." Elector said.
"That's cold boss." Mace said, his smile turning into frown.
"So you want us to take care of some busies while we wait?" The first thug ask.
"Yes, do whatever you want. I'm going to take a nap. It was a long day and I need my rest." Elector said.
"Sure thing boss, sleep well." Mace said and the thugs left the room.
"Hpmh, idiots. I know just who fell in. I have to wait until Rainbow Dash survive her powers." Elector said as he raise his hoof and electric cover it.
He look out the his window and smile. The weather call for a rainy day for the ground below and he was going to give it to Cloudsdale instead.
"Hope you can stop this Rainbow Dash." He said and held his hoof out.
Rainbow awoke after a 20 minute nap, feeling like herself again.
She flew towards her fridge and open it. She took out some milk and drink it. She stop as she heard a knock on her door. She put the milk away and went to it. She open the door to find two officers at her door.
"Can I help you?" Rainbow ask them.
"Rainbow Dash, the daughter of the weather pony Rainbow Striker and the adventurous daughter of Daring Do?" One of them ask.
Rainbow eyes widen in surprise. She knew her parents was a weather pony and an adventure pony, but how did they know she was their daughter? Her mom stop by once a year to see Rainbow until her dad pass away.
"Yes, is there a problem?" She answer and asked back.
"We need you to come to the office. It important." The other said.
Rainbow look confuse, but nods anyways. She shut her door and follow them. They flew until she reach the CPD building. They took her inside and she saw Captain Soarin.
Soarin was once a Wonderbolt himself until he hurt his left wing. He retired and started working at the CPD in order to help Cloudsdale. He was also the fillyhood friend of Spitfire.
"Ah, Rainbow Dash. Welcome." He said.
"Uh, hi Soarin." She said.
"Thank you boys, I'll take from here." He said to the officers and took Rainbow to his office.
"So Rainbow, I heard about what happen to you in the weather factory. Are you ok?" He said.
"Yeah, a little rest and I'm back to my old self." Rainbow said.
"Good, good. Now for the reason why your here." Soarin said.
"I didn't do anything wrong." Rainbow said, thinking she was in trouble.
"I know. It just that the machine you saw, was it build to make and transport weather to the place it needs to be at?" He ask.
"Yeah, it got destroy when I fell in it. I'm surprise I survive being zap and exploded on." Rainbow answer.
And was the one working on it name Dr. Elector?" He ask again.
"Yes, Flame Thunder told me that he fire him after failing to make sure the room was clear before staring it up.
"I see. Rainbow listen, if you ever see Elector again, don't trust him. He build a machine like the one before and he got caught in the same thing as you did. He can make the weather with his own thoughts and do what ever he wants with it. We been trying to take this guy down for years but we can find the place he lives. Not even his goons can tell us." Soarin explain.
"Really?" Rainbow ask.
He can make his own weather? I wonder if I can do the same thing. She thought before Soarin spoke up.
"Rainbow, please be careful." He said.
"Right. Thanks for the warning Soarin, I'll tell Lighting Dust and Flame Thunder about him." Rainbow said.
"Rainbow, those something I need to tell you that your father told me." Soarin said stopping her.
"What that?" She ask.
"With great power, comes great responsibility." Soarin said.
Rainbow could never forget those words. It was her father catchphrase, hearing them again made her smile.
"Sure, Thanks again Soarin." She said and walk out of the office.
Rainbow flew back home and look at her thunderbolt necklace. It was keeping her new found weather powers until control and if Elector was just as bad as Soarin said, then she got to help. But she can doing it as Rainbow Dash, no she had to be some one else. A mare that can be like a hero, can be look up to, a mare that can use her powers to stop evil. Rainbow land near her house and walk in side. She look around and pull out some cloths she had save under her bed. She got a pair of scissor and got to work.
She was finish after a few hours and look at her new outfit. It was black with white the bottom and her top was the same way, She put thunderbolts on the hooves and smile.
"Now I need a new name." She said and thought about it.
"Hm, since I can created my own weather, I need a name that fits it. Let's see....Weather mare? Nah! Thunder? No, I can make more then that no doubt. Zapp? Yeah that sounds good." Rainbow said thinking over the names.
"When I wear this suit, I'll be the Mare of Weather, Zapp!" Rainbow said as her necklace glowed.
