Scootaloo was going full speed on her scooter, above her Rainbow Dash flew lazily overhead.

"Come on squirt you got this." She called as Scootaloo put all she had into it, She had challenged Rainbow to a friendly competition to get to Sweet Apple acres the fastest, she was going as fast as she could when she saw a pothole in the trail, she attempted to avoid it and ended up hitting it at an angle, she and her scooter tumbled over each over and into some bushed, she started sniffling once she stopped and got up into a sitting position, Rainbow landed next her and help her to her hooves.

"Geez kid you alright?" Rainbow asked as she looked over Scootaloo's cuts and scrapes.

"I'll be fine." Scootaloo responded as she held in some tears "I'm tuff." Rainbow let go of her as left her to pick up her scooter when the sound of a howling monster hit her ears.

"What was that?" Scootaloo asked as she pulled her Scooter up. the was a gust of Wind and Rainbow took flight.

"Sorry kid we'll have to reschedule," she called as she watched Rainbow shoot off to Ponyville.

"Wait, can't somepony else handle it!?" She called as he left her scooter and moved onto the trail, she watched as Rainbow shot off and sighed. "I guess I'd better grab my scooter and head home."

"No offense but you look less than well at the moment." Scootaloo jumped at the voice and looked around for the source. "Now don't get me wrong, you were going plenty fast, and it was very nice of Rainbow Dash to humor you, I mean yeah she left you at her first chance, and so what if she was toying with you the entire time."

"What? Who's?" Scootaloo looked around in confusion at the area, wondering who was talking to her "What are talking about?" She asked.

"I'm just asking you, do you really think you could keep up with Rainbow Dash, on a Scooter?"

"Well no, I was just for fun," Scootaloo replied as she tried to pinpoint the voice.

"Oh yeah, nothing quite like always losing, must be a real hoot." Scootaloo felt wind pulling on her mane, and ears, but she didn't hear any as the voice talked "Come to think of it It must be really hard, knowing how unfair everything is to you, especially your own body."

"My-my own..?" Scootaloo stuttered as she thought about this

"Think about it, look at your wings! there not even really wings are they, you're the chicken of the Pegasus world!" Scootaloo's demeanor changed once she heard that

"Oh, you think you're funny!?" She demanded angrily.

"Oh my, are you crying?" The voice asked a tinge of laughter in it.

"So what if I am!?" She yelled back "I just hurt myself, it's normal to cry after a scooter accident." Scootaloo wiped her eye's as the voice laughed, the clouds gather above her as it laughed.

"yes, go ahead and tell your self that Chicken wing, but If I can ask, how often does this Rainbow Dash call you by your name? Its always Squirt and kid isn't it?"

"Its...its just...just.." Scootaloo had no good answer to this as the Clouds formed into a funnel, a twister formed around Scootaloo, as this happened Applebloom and Spike emerged from their hiding places.

"oh what do you think she'll look like?" Spike asked as he walked out of his puddle, his tail flopped into it and sucked it all up, leaving a small pothole behind.

"No idea," Applebloom responded as the Twister dissipated and Scootaloo was revealed, Her fur was now a dark shade of Gray, and her mane was now Dark Purple, She had large Bat wing's on her back, he tail was now long and whip-like, her canines where now long and pointed, all the rest of her teeth where all pointed. She was still wearing her Cargo shorts and a Tanktop, she looked pissed.

"Sup Bitches?" She asked once she saw her two new companions as she walked over to them "Where's Sweetie Belle a- oh Spike that's a good look for you." She walked over to him and shook the Tentacle that was covering one of his eyes.

"Why thank you," Spike responded, reaching out and tugging on her ears.

"The hell you doing?" Scootaloo asked

"Well it was either this or pulling on your mane, this is about what you're doing to me." He responded happily as they let go of each other.

"Fair enough Squid boy." She responded as she turned back to Applebloom, Spike's happy face melted momentarily and turned sower before returning to a smile

"Actually I am an Octopus." He corrected.

"Yeah sure whatever," Scootaloo said as he threw her arm over Applebloom. "So my old buddy, let's go reunite the team!" She said happily.

"Well last I saw, before a most unpleasant event, She was helping Rarity do something at the Boutique."

"Oh boy, let's move, maybe we'll get there before the fire starts," Spike said cheerfully as he moved forward, Spike didn't make it far before a wall of vines shot up in front of him.

"Slow it down." Applebloom said as she moved forward "We all stick out like a sore thumb, so what say you two go back to the clubhouse, I get Sweetie and bring her there, then we can..."

"Better Idea." The voice interrupted. "Why don't you go get Sweetie, and these two go find another member to recruit."

"I know!" Scootaloo said "Let's go get Babs! Really make this a Crusaders thing!"

"I want at least one other member to not be a Crusader!" Spike interrupted "Can't we look into some other ponies?"

"We can talk about number 6 once we've got 4 and 5" Applebloom interjected. "Let's meet up at the Crusader's clubhouse once we've gotten our friends."

"Um...isn't the clubhouse in the Apple-."

"Once we're in it I'll move it, now you two move it!" Spike gave a nod and Scootaloo took flight

"Come on Scootaloo lets find a Bucket so you can carry me."

"there's probably one at the Barn at Sweetapple," Scootaloo said as the two moved out. once the two had moved out Applebloom turned sank underground before moving towards Ponyville.
