How The Mean 6 should have ended

In The Crystal Empire, or more accurately, just outside it Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo are sitting relaxing on the shore of a lake, the only sounds are birds and jumping fish.

"Heh, the fish are really jumping today aren't they?" Rainbow Dash said, thinking for a second weather fishing was actually an entertaining activity...and if she could fish using a sonic rainboom.

"I mean, I guess" Scootaloo replied in a disinterested tone, she seemed deep in thought too...just not about fish.

"What's the matter squirt? You know you can tell me if you're worried about anything right?" Said the older Pegasus, fluttering over to the filly to sit next to her.

"I don't know Rainbow, I guess I just miss my friends, with them being back in Ponyville..." She said, looking out to the lake with a thousand mile stare

"Hey don't worry, I'm sure they're fine...besides you're going home tomorrow, it'll be like nothing ever happened!" Rainbow Dash says, wrapping a wing around Scootaloo and looking out at the lake too. A little way out into the lake a large fish jumps out a few metres and makes a massive splash "Hey did you see that?" she says, pointing out at the ripples on the water

"Heh, that was pretty awesome" Scootaloo says with a laugh "It was huge" that's when she glances up and sees an airship in the air "Hey look! It's Applejacks airship, lets watch it land!" She yells, jumping to her hooves and running up the hill

"Talk about dull Scoots..." Rainbow says, rolling her eyes

"Hurry, we'll miss it!" The filly says, jumping on her scooter and kicking off down the valley, her wings buzzing as fast as they can, dodging past rocks and boulders and other obstacles. Rainbow Dash flies behind, making sure to fly slower to keep an eye on her...can't let her get hurt...

It isn't long for Scootaloo to lose control and hit a rock, sending her flying off into the air, Rainbow effortlessly flies under her, catching her on her back and carrying on flying "If you're gonna fly Scoots, fly in style" she says, flying low and ducking through the canyon, with Scootaloo hanging on tight.

As they fly Scootaloo looks to the side, spotting a view of The Empire "Why not stop here?" Scootaloo asks

"You want a good view right? We're goin right for the top" Rainbow boasts, looking up at the mountain while still flying through the natural obstacle course, the pegasus was sure Scoots wouldn't mind the free air show. Along the route though Rainbow spotted Twilight Sparkle sitting under a tree, probably a spell book...perfect.

Rainbow sped past leaving a rainbow streak behind, the whiplash blew both Twilight's book and her hair in wild directions "Rainbow! Fore Celestia's sake I..." Twilight yelled out, but the pair were already gone up the mountain.

"Here's as good a spot as any" The blue pegasus says as she lands right next to a telescope, Scootaloo quickly dismounts her friend and runs up to the telescope, turning it to face the airship as it flies past.

"Wait...Rainbow there's a hole in the airship!" the filly yells out, zooming in on the damage

"Excuse me?" Rainbow quickly runs over, taking over the telescope, zooming in she sees Evil Twilight and Crysalis standing in the opening, Crysalis quickly notices they're being spied on and unleashes a volley of spells at the pair, a few accidentally hitting the airship.

Rainbow quickly runs and grabs up Scootaloo just before the spells hit the mountain, starting a monster rockslide "Attack!" Yells Crysalis, the first to fly out of the now doomed airship, quickly followed by Evil Twilight and most of her changelings. Three changelings fly towards Rainbow, blasting spells at the pair that the speedster can just about dodge.

"Stay still so I can kill you!" one of the changelings, before it lands and starts spinning up a powerful spell...one Rainbow knows she can't dodge. Then suddenly out of nowhere Twilight flies by, hitting the changeling with a stun spell, that sends it's aim off, causing it to annihilate one of it's friends. Twilight then blasts the changeling with magic, sending it falling down the mountain...the third after seeing this flies away.

Rainbow flies down and hovers beside Twilight, who's still panting "Not bad for an egghead" She chuckles

"Egghead? I just saved you and you're telling jokes?" Twilight exclaims, before looking back up the mountain and seeing Evil Twilight swoop in, they just manage to duck under a few spells before flying off themselves towards The Crystal Empire.
