My Little Pony: The Changeling of Friendship
Season 3: Episode 4 - Legacy of the Rainbow
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"She's really getting into that whole flying thing, isn't she?" Soarin asked Rainbow Dash.
"Yep. It makes me proud of her." Rainbow Dash said.
"You do realize you won't always be around her from now on, right?" Spitfire asked. "That is, should you continue to choose to be a wonderbolt." She added.
"Pharynx is helping her. And I think she's starting to see him as a father figure. Besides, she gets it. She actually wants to become a Wonderbolt like me someday." Rainbow Dash said. "And trust me Spitfire, she's got the gumption to do it." She added.
"You should know, she's your kid." Spitfire said.
"Well, we better get back to training." Soarin said.
"Yep." Rainbow Dash said.
"Scootaloo is getting better and better." Diamond Tiara said. Just last week, the cutie mark crusaders and her became real friends and by doing so, she had been the trigger to help the CMC earn their cutie marks.
"Yeah. She takes after her mother it seems." Apple Bloom said.
"Mother?" Silver Spoon inquired.
"Didn't you hear? Rainbow Dash is Scootaloo's biological mother." Sweetie Belle said.
"What about her biological father?" Diamond Tiara asked.
"Scootaloo believes that until he shows up and apologies to her mother for essentially rutting and running as she calls it, she wants nothing to do with him." Apple Bloom said.
"Apple Bloom, you know we don't use that kind of language." Applejack said.
"Crude laungauge or not, I too would like to give the one who cut out of Scootaloo's life a piece of my mind for abusing our friend Rainbow Dash like that. And while she was weakened by liquor no less." Rarity said.
"I agree one hundred percent." Spoiled Rich said. She's trying to not be as judgemental, and actually try to get along with those that her daughter calls friends. She tried her best to convince her husband, but he refused to budge, and brought up the whole Zap Apple contract between Banyard Bargins and the Apples to hault her arguement about Diamond's new friends in their tracks. "Brash or not, no mare deserves to be used like that." Spoiled Rich added.
"You're telling me. I'm just glad Pharynx is helping her. Changeling or not, you can't argue with the results." Silver Spoon's Mother, Silver Platter said.
"From what Rainbow Dash told me, he trains almost as hard as Rainbow Dash does everyday." Rarity said.
"And Scootaloo has being going through the sae training." Pharynx said as he came up to the mares. "Sorry for interrupting the mare only meeting going on here." He added.
"Crass, but it's not really a meeting of only mares. We were just talking about Scootaloo is all." Spoiled Rich said as Scootaloo landed.
"Pharynx, I think I'm ready." Scootaloo said.
"Ready for what?" Pharynx asked.
"To race you!" Scootaloo said.
"...She's kidding right?" Phayrnx asked.
"I wanna see if I can do a Sonic Rainboom just like mom, and the best way to test that is with a race!" Scootaloo said.
"I don't think your mom's first sonic rainboom being during a race was done just out of nowhere. She managed to do one because of willpower; the kind that comes from helping someone other than yourself." Pharynx said.
"Well I want to be able to do one. I want to make mom proud of me. It's my legacy now." Scootaloo said.
"Legacy?" Spoiled Rich asked.
"Yeah. My mom made a Rainboom, so now it's my turn. I've got to make my own rainboom if I wish to continue my mother's legacy." Scootaloo said.
"That's nice and all, but one simply does not make a Rainboom just because it's their legacy." Pharynx said.
"Well, I'll make one day, you'll see!" Scootaloo said.
A few days pass, and Scootaloo was still trying her best to keep training herself. She had a goal in mind. But just then, a dragon started attacking Ponyville. It was a large dragon that was defiantly not Spike. And the wonderbolts were not able to do much, not even Rainbow on account of the Dragon having a device that stopped pegasi from flying.
"Mom!" Scootaloo said running over to her mother.
"Heh...hey squirt. You need to run." Rainbow Dash said.
"No. I won't run. I've got to save everyone!" Scootaloo said detirmined and got up in the air right away.
"Is she crazy?" Spitfire asked.
"...Yep...she's defiantly Rainbow's kid. I saw the look in her eyes." Soarin said.
"HEY DRAGON BREATH, GET A LOAD OF THIS!" Scootaloo said before she started going faster than she ever thought possible for her the dragon aimed the device but then...
Boom!
Suddenly a cloud of orange and purple smoke filled the air as the sound barrier broke which allowed Scootaloo to destroy the device the Dragon was holding which gave back the pegasi who had their power of flight stolen from them and thus allowed the Wonderbolts to make sure the dragon was captured.
"Garble, I am very disappointed in you." Dragon Lord Ember said. "What were you thinking exactly? No, scratch that. I know exactly what you were thinking, and it was to try and start a war with the Ponies." She added.
"So what if I was? Both you and your father were too soft on them. Ponies are weaker creatures; we dragons should be ruling these lands!" Garble said.
"THAT LINE OF THINKING IS EXACTLY WHY DRAGONS CAN'T GET A GOOD ENOUGH EDUCATION! Because of dragons like you, dragons are banned from most schools in Equestria. I hereby punish you to egg watching duty for the next three weeks." Ember said.
"You think I'm the only one who thinks the way I do? Wake up to reality. It's only a matter of time before a mutiny rises in the Dragon Lands and you won't be able to stop it." Garble said. "And when it does, the days of Ponies ruling Equestria will be over." He added. Ember took Garble back to the dragon lands.
"I hope Garble is wrong." Spike said.
"I hope so too." Sweetie Belle said.
"He has to be." Apple Bloom noted.
"But in the case that he isn't." Scootaloo started.
"We'll be waiting for them." Applejack said.
"And we will be ready for them." Rainbow Dash said. "By the way Scoots, you were awesome. That was more of a Sky Blaster then a sonic Rainboom." She added.
"I wonder if every Pegasus who can break the speed barrier has a different manifestation of the sonic Rainboom." Twilight said. "Perhaps someone has the same manifestation long ago as Rainbow Dash and Rainbow Dash is a descendent of that person." She added.
"That would be awesome. It's like I would have my own legacy if that was the case." Rainbow Dash said.
"I think you already have started one with Scootaloo." Pharynx said.
"He's got a point." Amiticia said.
Author's Note
Silver Spoon's family goes unnamed in the show, so I decided to go with Silver Platter for Silver Spoon's mother's name.
