"Crap, Crap, Crap, Crap, CRAP!" Rarity muttered in a hurry as she ran down the school halls. She flipped a switch inside of herself sending more of her energy to her lower body and legs in an attempt to run faster. She is completely flabbergasted by the fact that she was late to class. Pushing the rest of her base energy. She didn't have as much energy than she would have if she didn't skip out on breakfast.

Seeing the door at the end of the hallway. She sees the clock ticking inside her head. She manages to bolt into the room as fast as she can. She manages to make it just in time for class to start. The history class she took wasn't too interesting just a lesson on the wars of the Robots and Humans. The same war that their Principle Celestia, and even Rarity's own parents fought in. She ended up spacing out halfway through the class due to her low energy levels. She ended up not really listening to the lesson as she had heard of the wars thousands of times.

The rest of the day was quite dull as she attended the rest of her classes. Lunch made her feel quite a lot better as she was able to recover more of her energy. She almost felt relieved to hear the bell ring. Walking out the front door ready to get back to her apartment to work on her next prototype fashion line. She was in such a hurry that she didn't notice that she passed by a group of people waiting in an alleyway for her. "Hey! Purple hair!" one of them called out aggressively. She stopped in her tracks groaning and turning around to face her antagonists. "What do you want, Lightning Dust?" she called back clearly not having any of it.

"I just wanted to repay you for your generous deeds from yesterday." The other robot girl said approaching Rarity slowly. Two other human students following behind her.

"What are you talking about?," questions Rarity completely oblivious to whatever Lightning is on about.

"You know fully well what I'm talking about!", the electric yellow haired girl yelled. "Grab her boys!"

The two boys following her grabbed Rarity by the arm holding her and keeping her from escaping. "Wha- What are you doing!?" She asks the bully, struggling to get away. Her arms thrashing against the grip of the guys holding her there.

Lightning dust reared her fist back and slammed it into Rarity's stomach knocking the wind out of her. Gasping for air and struggling more to get away as lightning continued to wail on her. Until, suddenly she felt something clicking inside of her.

"Hey Lightning?!" The guy on the left of Rarity asked.

"Shut up!"

The guy let out a small yelp before letting go of Rarity's arm. In the heat of the moment Rarity swung towards her attacker the sound of a gun being fired echoing through the alleyway. Lightning dust stepping back and clutching her chest in pain a gaping hole in the middle of it. Circuitry sparking and oil leaking out of it. The other guy letting go of Rarity's other arm out of fear and astonishment.

Rarity decided to take this as an opportunity to run away from them and the alleyway they were located in. As she ran she noticed there was slightly more weight on her arm than she remembers. Looking behind her to makes sure that she wasn't being persued. Once she was sure the coast was clear she ducked between two buildings before she took a moment to check out what was going on with her arm. Panting from getting the crap beaten out of her and the long run to where she was, she sat down against a wall trying her best to take some long deep breaths. Lifting up her right arm to see much to her surprise a Y-11 High Caliber Solar Buster colored deep purple just like her hair in place of where her lower arm should be.

"Wha..? Where did this come from?" She asked to nobody in particular. "How did it get there..? How do I make it go away..?"

She tried looking for a setting in her options to make it go away. She then noticed a button that she never saw there before labeled meganize and it was checked, sort of. For you see it was kind of glitching inbetween on and off.
Maybe if I time it right? ,she thought to herself. After for the most part getting down the pattern she flips the switch.

She missed...

The switch flipping on and panic setting in. "Welcome back, Mega Mare." a text to speech sounding voice said. A UI popping up displaying her energy and weapon energy. A helmet assembling itself around her head and armor assembling around the rest of her body. Some of it colored the same deep purple as her gun. Her eyes changing color from light blue to deep purple as well, other parts of the armor matching the original color of her eyes.

Once the transformation ended she felt energized and didn't hurt as much. Despite all of this she was still quite terrified and needed to find a mirror. Calm down Rarity!, right now i need to get home before anything else. She flipped the switch one more transforming her back to her normal state. Running down the street to her apartment as it was becoming dark.

-=Rarity and Rainbows Apartment=-

Rarity was mesmerized by the robot in the mirror as she inspected her reflection. The armor was the same colors she saw from before, her eye color matching the armor. What got her the most were the pony ears on the helmet as well as the unicorn like horn on the forehead of her helmet. Her cutie mark imprinted on the sides of her helmet. Looking down at the buster on her arm. "Mega Mare..?" she whispered to herself.

"Rarity, I'm home!" called her younger sister Sweetie Belle as she heard the door closing. "The cmc group project was cut a bit short to- what the...?" she stopped as she opened the door to see her sister in the newly discovered battle mode. Looking down at the weapon that has replaced Rarity's lower right arm.

"Uhh... I can explain."

"Cool!" her little sister exclaimed running up to her. "Is that a mega buster?! How strong is your armor!? Where did you get all of this?" She asked, circling her sister like a shark.

"I don't know..." Rarity replied nervously.

"So are like you some sort of secret super hero or something now?" Sweetie questioned, looking up as her elder sister.

"I guess, If somehow i never knew about it." She replied, holding up her buster and admiring the sparkly purple metal of on it.

"So what can you do?" The younger bot asks.

Rarity goes silent. "Apart from shooting I don't know..."

Sweetie Belle looks perplexed at her sister. "Well then, come on! Let's go find out!" She exclaims grabbing her sister by the hand and pulling her out of the apartment.

-=City Streets=-

Upset was not even the word that could describe how Lightning dust felt as she walked down the streets to her house, holding her chest trying to keep as much oil inside of her as possible. It burned, only fueling the fire to her rage. Her vision blurry and sparks occasionally flying out of her. "I'll get her back for that." She growled under her breath. "She will pay for putting this hole into me."

"Yes, and that she will." A mysterious voice came from an alleyway.

"And who the hell are you?" The broken bot asks turning to face the cloaked silhouette.

"I saw the capabilities a robot like yourself could bring to my cause. If you don't mind me asking, your name?" The figure spoke.

"Dust, Lightning Dust..." She replied.

"Ah yes, the girl of many strengths" it said. "I am here to offer you a job."

"And why in the world would I want to help you?" Lightning questioned.

"Lets just say it could help you get back at that Rarity girl." it said. "So, would you like join me in world conquest?"

"I don't need your help, and you don't need mine. I can prove myself better than Rarity all by myself!" She snapped back, getting ready to walk away.

"Oh?" The silhouette replied.

"Yeah, so screw off!" she shouted.

"To bad it wasn't a question." It said before raising its arm a ray gun like object in its hand. Pulling the trigger, a beam firing out of the end. The red beam hitting Lightning Dust square in the face. She tried to run but couldn't. She felt her memory chips slowly being wiped over time, her eyes changing from electric yellow to dark blue. Once the process was over she stood there like she just saw a ghost. "Now, Lightning Dust... how do you feel about upgrades? Metal Mare is getting quite lonely."
