Chapter 1: Regretting that one rainbow

Rainbow Dash was in Doctor Tremor's office after he requested her to come visit him.

"So Miss. Dash, have you had any problems come up since our last talk?" Doctor Tremor asked as he looked calm and focused starring at Dash.

Rainbow Dash was looking at the ground, avoiding any eye contact with him. This made Tremor frown due to her not responding back to him.

"Ms. Dash, are you alright?" Tremor asked but, she still didn't respond. "Dash I need you to respond to me." He said hoping to get at least a single word out of her.

Dash slowly looks up to Doctor Tremor. The expression she gave Tremor was the face cover in fear and pain as if she witnessed something terrible happening. She looked almost as pale as a ghost. Dash takes a moment to speak and says in hurtful, painful tone, "Doctor Tremor. I...did something I regret after our last meeting."

"And what was that?" He asked becoming concerned about her petrified face.

"Somepony very close to me, who I cared a lot about, is…" She stopped speaking and began to shake.

"Who Dash?" Tremor asked not losing his focus and determination to get Dash to tell him what was weighing her down.

"She's dead, I let her die." She said as her voice began to quiet down into a weak whisper. She had begun to cry.

Something was extremely weighing her down and Tremor had to know what it was and how to fix it. "Tell me Dash, who did you let die?" Tremor asked sternly.

"My little sister Scootaloo she's, she's…" She said looking down feeling broken being unable to finish her sentence.

Tremor became sad and shocked he's seen Scootaloo before always riding her scooter pass his office window. He once shouted out to her to slow down or she could get hurt and even though the orange filly Pegasus barely listened to him. She still smiled and wave at him saying 'Hi' or 'Good morning Doctor Tremor'.

"How did you let her died?" He asked calmly.

Dash looks out the window and saw the gray clouds. It was raining outside. "All because of that damn stallion I did something that I will always regret for the rest of my entire life." She sobbed. "Scootaloo, I'm so sorry." She said with the tone of sorrow and regret.

In Rainbow Dash's Cloud Castle before the Doctor visit

"Hey big sis are you here to train me how to do the Sonic Rainboom?" Scootaloo asked while she was flying around happy and free spirited in Rainbow Dash's cloud made castle.

"Not now Scoot I had a rough day." Dash said tiring as she flew up towards her room looking exhausted.

"But, you promised." Scootaloo whined.

"I know but, maybe tomorrow okay." She said, not bothering to look at the filly Pegasus.

Scoot was frowning and looking down. "Oh…well that's okay." Scoot said sounding disappointed.

Rainbow Dash stops and turns around looking back at her little sister. They weren't really related. But, Dash was an idle to Scoot. She took her in her home when Scoot's family felt ashamed that their daughter never achieved to obtain a cutie mark. Scoot couldn't stop Dash but, she was happy that someone like her really cared. Dash was like a big sister to her and Scoot was like a little sister to her.

"Sorry Scoot, how about tomorrow? I'm going to teach you the Sonic Rainboom I promise." Dash said, trying to cheer Scootaloo up by giving her a smile. Scoot looked up at Dash seeing the smile on the cyan Pegasus face happily.

"You mean it!" The little filly smiled.

"Yeah I mean it." Rainbow said sincerely. Cheering Scootaloo up was successful but, keeping that promised, Rainbow Dash had no clue if that was going to be possible. After all, not all promises are meant to be kept.

"Thank you so much Rainbow Dash! You're the best sister EVER!" Scoot said as she flew around excitingly with a wide smile on her face. One that cheered Rainbow up a lot every time she gets back home after work. Scoot's smile was the best thing that Rainbow loves to see. It even came first, leaving the Wonderbolts in second place.

"Now I'm going to bed don't stay up late okay." Rainbow said walking to her room.

"You got it sis!" Scoot said still happy you might as well call her the filly version of Pinkie Pie with wings.

Dash soon flies into her room and lands on top of her cloud made bed exhausted. "Today's work with moving clouds here and there sure made me tired." She said slowly drifting off to the dream realm.

'Hey Rainbow Dash, why is the sky crying?' Scootaloo voice echoed in a painful saddening tone causing Rainbow Dash to suddenly wake up as her began to tremble while she looked around her room franticly.

"Who's there? Is that you Scoot?" She asked but, there was no response heard back. Looking out the cloud made window Rainbow Dash saw nothing outside but darkness. Dash was confused why it was pitch black outside.

"Who's Samuel?" She heard Scoot from outside her room speaking to someone.

'Who is she speaking to and why is this pony in my house?' Dash thought to herself getting mad that Scootaloo let a stranger into her house. She gets off her cloud bed and left her room but, as soon as she walked towards the stairway. Rainbow Dash stops in her tracks looking down the stairs, a black robe hooded pony looking at Scoot. The hooded pony looked up at her grinning as flashing glowing red eyes flashed through the pony's hood.

"Hey mister, you didn't tell me about this Samuel?" Scoot said getting him to turn his head to her.

"I'm sorry it's just I know your friend behind you." The pony said was a stallion with a mild pitch tone that creep Dash.

"You're my sister's friend?" Scoot asked smiled.

"Scoot come over here now and get away from him!" Dash yelled.

Scoot looked behind her then back at the mysterious stallion and asks, "Rainbow Dash is asleep do you want me to wake her up?"

Rainbow Dash was shocked. Scoot just looked at her then asks if she wanted to "wake her up". Was she still asleep? Was this a dream?

"No, thank you I'm sure she needs her rest after all she worked herself quite a lot." He chuckled shaking his head no.

Scoot was this naïve. "Who are you anyway?" Scoot asked tilting her head slightly left curious about this strange stallion.

"My name's Erebos Scootaloo, and when Dash wakes up tell her this that tomorrow's weather forecast will be rain and tears." Erebos said giving off a creepy chuckle.

Suddenly Dash wakes up, sweating and breathing very fast. Looking outside it was sunny. "It was just a dream." Dash sighed in relief as her fear went away.

"You're awake." Dash turned to the sound of Scootaloo's voice and saw the orange filly pegasus smiling at her next to the doorway.

"Yeah but, why are you in my room Scoot?" Rainbow Dash asked a little bit annoyed since she didn't like it when ponies go into her room without knocking cloud made doors or not. She did liked insecurity for herself in her room after all.

"Well I heard you mumbling and thrashing in your sleep I had to check what was wrong." She said frowning and becoming worried Dash would get mad. Dash had caught her frowning and decided to let this problem slip by. Dash gave Scootaloo a smiled reassuring her she wasn't angry.

"It was just a bad dream. I'll be alright." Dash said reassuring Scootaloo she was alright.

"So are you gonna teach me the Sonic Rainboom after work?" Scoot asked hopping up and down excitingly.

"Yeah, remember I promised. Now you fly off to school I have to go to work today." Dash said. Scootaloo nodded her head yes smiling.

Scootaloo soon left for school while Rainbow Dash was flying around Cloudsdale.

"Oh Rainbow Dash." Erebos voice was heard behind Rainbow Dash which suddenly stopped her. She looked back seeing no pony behind her leaving Rainbow Dash confused.

"Right here Rainbow Dash." Erebos was heard again causing Rainbow Dash to look down seeing the cloak pony. Rainbow Dash was

"What do you want with me?" Rainbow Dash asked as she landed down glaring at Erebos.

"Oh it's nothing really, just happy to see you." He chuckled which irritated Rainbow Dash.

"Look Erebos, leave me alone." Rainbow said as she trotted past him with a look of disgust on her face.

"How was your sleep?" He said stopping her dead in her tracks.

Looking back at him she was furious. "Who do you think you our going into my home when I said never to get near me again!" She yelled as she got in front of his face angry.

"You're near me to be exact." He said being a smartass.

"What do you want with me?" Rainbow Dash asked gritting her teeth.

"Do you really want to know my dear Dashie?" Erebos asked as he began to chuckle.

"Yeah I do." She said with a disgusted tone. She didn't like him.

"You saw me in your so call dream but, that was no dream. No that was your spirit. That couldn't be seen by Scootaloo." He said giving Dash a visible grin through his hood.

"What's that's supposed to mean?" She asked.

Erebos's grin widens and he says, "It means that you've been target by Azazel's demon." Erebos chuckled at the end of his sentence.

"Who is that?" She asked becoming concern.

"Why Azazel is the twin brother of Lord Samuel my dear Rainbow Dash." Erebos answered smiling at her.

"Look all I did was sign the contract in protecting my friends." She said walking away.

"Oh really, my pride bearing pegasus?" Erebos chuckled but, suddenly Erebos chuckled was cut off by a smack into the face that stunned him. Erebos sighed while rubbing his chin after Dash's hoof hit him in the face but, it wasn't strong enough to knock his hood off.

"You shut up! I'm the bearer of loyalty and you think I'll disobey my deal!" She yelled in his face furious.

Rainbow Dash was piss in which made Erebos only chuckle and say, "Let me give you a warning Dashie. Tonight you're going to feel regret like no other painful moment that had happened before to you. Even the deal you made will not protect you from what will happen."

"What's going to happen tonight? I've already performed a sacrifice." Dash said in which Erebos responded back to her with another chuckle.

"Yes you did a simple sacrifice of a Manticore but, my dear Dashie tonight you will regret what's going to happen to the one you love the most. Oh it will rain, and the blood won't be washed away. No it will stain your mind." Erebos said with a more evil hearted tone.

"Is that what you meant when you were speaking to Scootaloo that "Tomorrow's forecast will be rain and tears"?" She asked in which Erebos nodded yes.

"Who is this demon?" Dash asked wanting to figure out who she might encounter later on.

"Its name is Faliximis; it is the executioner of families and nightmare traveler. You see it's a cold blooded killer that murders the ones who murdered his or her own kin. This means the bond this pony shares with to their family has been separated/ripped apart forever." He said causing Dash to shiver just by the thought of being ripped in half.

"Why is he after me?" Dash asked becoming worried.

"Don't know until tonight of course. You know Dash, I can help you." Erebos said giving her a serious look but, knowing Dash she wasn't known to let others help her. She always considers doing things by herself.

"I don't need your help and I don't need you following me." She got into his face again gritting her teeth.

"Funny don't you think, this reminds me of the time when we first met. You got in my face, I took a hoof in the face, I gave you a book challenging your pride, you read it, made a deal to Lord Samuel and now I'm your guardian devil and again you're in my face. But, now you don't need me. No you want me gone. So I will leave you be and tonight you will be on your own. You might survive against Faliximis on your own." Erebos said grinning.

He walked away chuckling but stops and turns around saying, "One more thing Dash, death comes with a price if you want to survive." And with that Erebos vanishes in thin air.

Dash only scoffed and walked away but, she stops and looks down. "What have I done?" She said as she gritted her teeth and then say, "I never should have made that deal."

Whatever was going to happen tonight Dash was ready to defend herself and those that she loves but, didn't know one thing. Who was in danger?

Scootaloo came back from school excited that she was going to learn the Sonic Rainboom. She was at home and Dash was not there.

"I wonder what happened to Applebloom and Sweetie Belle they seem so different." Scoot asked herself. Shrugging it off Scoot just lied on the cloud couch.

"I'm back now Scootaloo!" Rainbow Dash called as she entered into her home.

"Hello Rainbow Dash!" She said leaping off the couch. "You're ready to teach me the Sonic Rainboom?" She asked. Rainbow Dash chuckles seeing her little sister hopping up and down excited; another thing that seem to always spark a feeling inside her.

"Yeah let's go and not waste time." Rainbow Dash said as she smiled at Scootaloo.

Scootaloo cheered happily. On their walk to a nice space of clear open clouds. Scootaloo told Dash about school and how Sweetie Belle and Applebloom where acting weird. She told her how they had no time for cutie mark crusading and for the first time all they wanted to do was head home fast.

Soon they got to a nice open space of clouds, perfect for Scootaloo to fly around. Dash looks at Scootaloo and says, "Alright the first step to perfect the Sonic Rainboom is focus, speed, and style." Scootaloo nodded her head yes preparing to fly.

"Now you need to fly without stopping. Not for a second. You need to focus on your speed ignoring the wind velocity. No matter how the much the wind blows back at you, you have to keep on flying. Following these steps along with speed and some style then you will succeed in completing the Sonic Rainboom." Dash said proudly as Scootaloo began to flap her wings.

"Now Scootaloo, are you ready?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Yeah I'm ready." She said giving Dash a smirk.

"Go do it." She said and with that Scootaloo had flew off. She was faster than Dash, expected probably due to all the previous training she had gave her before.

Scootaloo felt the wind crashing hard on her face as she flew ahead without stopping or turning. Scoot didn't go that far as she was still close enough to where Rainbow Dash could watch her.

"Alright now step one speed." Scoot said to herself remembering her lessons Dash had given to her. She began to fly around three clouds just as Rainbow Dash done before when she was training for the Cloudsdale flying competition.

"Focus was already complete so no worries about that." Scootaloo said focusing then says, "Now for the last step, style." She then flies up.

Dash was amazed, smiling seeing Scoot performing her flying skills with impeccable fluency. She was flying very far up. "Come on Scoot keep going." Dash said biting her bottom lip hoping Scootaloo would pull it off. Scoot was going to perform her first Sonic Rainboom. The one she always loves to see Dash do. Now she's going to succeed in doing it herself.

Scoot felt the winds trying to break her down from her pursuit to happiness. The Sonic Rainboom she's been training for now was in her grasp. She was getting faster and faster. Tears formed out her eyes flying back due to the rushing winds colliding into the filly's face. She was picking up more speed. Scoot was going so fast her mane seems like an extending color of purple. It could be compared to Rainbow's speed.

Then like that, the sound barrier was broken causing a Sonic Scootboom (It was the only thing I came up with, bear with me). Dash covered her eyes, not cause of the flash of Scootaloo's Sonic Scootboom, but because of the sun that was blinding her from seeing Scootaloo.

Shaking her head, Dash smiles, Scootaloo had finally done it. She perfected the very technique that made her name spread out all over Cloudsdale and all of Equestria. Now Scoot's going to have her name spread as the second filly to achieve the Sonic Rainboom.

"Huh?" Dash gasped as she looked up. Her expression suddenly changes to a confused look, then to shock look as she saw Scootaloo falling down from the sky fast.

"Scootaloo hang on!" Rainbow Dash yelled as she flew up towards Scootaloo about to catch her but she instantly misses. Dash doesn't waste time and flies down towards the falling unconscious filly Dash not stopping. No she couldn't stop at all because Scoot's life depended on it.

They were close together. The technique Scootaloo had finally succeeded to perform knocked her out. They were getting close to the ground pushing Dash to edge. Then a loud bang ran through Dash's ears. She just did the Sonic Rainboom. She finally grabs Scoot but, then a pop was heard. Rainbow Dash's wings popped a bone causing Dash to hold tight to Scootaloo, crashing into the ground.

When they crashed her impact caused a huge dust cloud form near the Everfree Forest. It began to clear by the wind as Erebos appeared, walking down the massive crater grinning. He saw Dash and Scootaloo lying on the ground not moving. Scootaloo suffered some scratches and cuts but, was still breathing. She was still unconscious. But, Dash had suffered the worst. Her wings were completely destroyed. Her bones were popping out from both sides of them and blood was pouring slowly down her head as her mane blocked part of her face. Her eyes were dull. Her body was covered in massive cuts and scratches. She wasn't breathing.

Erebos stopped as he looked at Dash brutalize body. He began to laugh falling on to the ground while holding his head then tilt his head with a nasty grin visibly shown through his hood. "Oh Dashie I warned you my lovely cyan dear." Erebos said, chuckling as he began walking towards her body.

Gray clouds began to form as rain began to pour down. "You should have listened." Erebos said as his eyes glowed red through his hood. Dash's body began to suddenly glow. Her wings began to snap back together fixing themselves. The cuts and scratches she's received were vanishing. Soon Rainbow Dash's body was completely healed. Her dullest eyes regain back their color. Rainbow Dash suddenly shot up breathing fast. She then looks right next to her seeing Scootaloo.

"Scootaloo!" Dash yells getting up only to fall on the ground. She felt weak all of a sudden.

"Easy my dear you died remember? Let your body regain its strength." Erebos said frowning at Dash.

She ignored him, crawling towards Scootaloo. "Scootaloo come on wake up." Dash said shaking the little filly. "Scootaloo come on wake up." Dash repeated herself beginning to panic as she continues to try and wake up Scootaloo.

The young filly opens her eyes slowly looking at Dash and says, "Hey…big sis." Scootaloo smiles as her voice sounded weak.

"Scootaloo hang on I'm going get help." Dash said hoping to keep her alive.

"Did I do it?" Scootaloo asked, her voice sounded very vague as if it was fading.

"Yeah you did it Scoot, it was awesome." Dash said smiling as tears began to seep out her eyes.

"Sweet…are you proud?" Scootaloo asked. Dash nodded as she still continues to sob.

"I feel tired." Scootaloo said which caused Dash to know right there from the start that her dear little sister wasn't going to make it.

"Erebos do something!" She yelled giving him a pleading look.

"I can't. I am not under contract with her and didn't you say you did not need my help in the first place. This situation you're in my dear is only yours to handle." Erebos said with a small chuckle in the end.

Dash couldn't believe it, she was useless. There was nothing she could do.

"Hey Rainbow Dash why is the sky crying?" Scootaloo asked but, Dash didn't say anything back so Scootaloo then says, "Rainbow Dash?" Scootaloo turned slowly to see that her big sister's petrified face.

"I-I'm so sorry." She said in which confused Scootaloo for a few seconds until she figured out what she meant.

Scootaloo smiles at Dash who had shut her eyes shedding tears still, Scootaloo says, "Big sis. Don't be sorry. I did it. I completed my goal. Like you taught me plus, I got my cutie mark see." Scootaloo said still smiling but, it was weak painful one, one that had brought the cyan Pegasus into tears.

Rainbow Dash opens her eyes slowly and saw it, Scootaloo's cutie mark. It was a pair of white wings connected to a dashing cloud. Just looking at it had reached her point of sadness in which had broken her down. Rainbow Dash cried hugging Scootaloo gently.

"I feel so tired." Scootaloo said in a faint whisper as her eyes began to slowly close. Her hearing began to fade as she drifted off into darkness. "I love you sis." Scootaloo whispered to Dash. Then she smiled as her life slipped away. Even as she was dead Dash still didn't let go and continued to cry.

Erebos looked up at the clouds seeing a black shadow with glowing eyes watching them. It soon vanished. "Azazel, you prick." Erebos said, sighing. He looks at Dash seeing the blood washing off of her. "You'll get pay back my dear. After all…I'm still here to ensure it." Erebos said grinning.

Present Time

Tremor frowned at Dash. She was crying after explaining to him had happened.

"I regret for what I did. I should of have had Erebos protected her. It's my fault." She sobbed burying her hooves into her face as her tears continue to roll out her eyes dripping on to the ground.

"Dash it isn't your fault. It's Azazel's fault. Not yours, not Scootaloo's, not Erebos's. Now look at me." He said making the cyan Pegasus look up to him.

"Stay with this Erebos for now. You hear me? Stop blaming yourself you think Scootaloo would want that?" He asked in a stern voice. Dash shook her head no. "Then stop blaming yourself and do what you believe is right. Go with Erebos and find this demon that took Scootaloo's life. Do it for her and when you complete your mission, then you cry not because of her death or your regrets no, but because you finally achieved your mission, you achieved in avenging Scootaloo." Tremor said causing Dash to not cry anymore. Dash tears had stopped and her head went down looking at the ground. She then looks at Tremor nodding her head having a brave expression.

"Now go and when you are done. Come back." He said giving Dash a friendly reassuring smile.

Dash walks to the door stops and looks back at Tremor smiling at him and then says, "Thanks doc." He nodded his head. Dash nodded back and walks out his room leaving him alone.

"This day just can't get any better can it?" He asked himself feeling exhausted.

Picking up a file, he opens it revealing a picture of Rarity and Applejack. "Redheart, get me patients Rarity and Applejack please?" He asked out loud.

Looking at the photos again Tremor says in calm tone, "Now let's see how you progressed so far."
