Zapp The Awesome Chapter 1 Thunderbolt
Dash was sitting at home watching the news while also eating a plate of chips, wearing a tank top and shorts feeling bored at the report. She wanted to change the channel but an extreme weather alert caught her attention as she glued herself to the TV.
"The national weather service has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for the Metropolis area, please do not attempt to go outside for this storm is extremely dangerous. Stay indoors until the storm has passed. Take cover and stay away from power lines."
The alert was on repeat so Dash did the opposite of what the alert said so she went outside but only saw rain, a streak of lightning plus a few rumbles of thunder nothing special. Dash felt disappointed at the fact that the extreme thunderstorm warning was probably in the city of Metropolis. All of a sudden a strong lightning bolt hit the ground, causing an electric shock on everything it touched but when it stopped a gold necklace seen visible through the now heavy rain.
"Whoa" said Dash in sudden amazement before walking closer to the necklace on the ground a few inches away from her.
The gold necklace had what looked like a lightning bolt on it glistening in the rain shining brightly as Dash ran in the house to avoid getting sick just so she can examine the necklace further.
"I wonder what kind of awesome things I can do with this" pondered Dash as she set the necklace down on table as it began to spark lightly.
You appeared from a lightning bolt that must've been a part of the storm
Instead of leaving it there to examine it later, Dash again did the opposite of what she did so she decides to wear it around her neck. A spark turned into a ball of electricity surrounding around Rainbow giving her a whole new outfit: Navy blue costume with white grayish lightning bolts around the sides and shoes. Reappearing in her room while also surveying the sudden clothing change Dash circled around herself, looking into her wide mirror.
"This is a little strange, now one problem how do I change back to normal" questioned Dash.
Like a light bulb in her head just popped up, she tapped the necklace once then sparks appeared before she had her normal tank top and shorts but with the lightning bolts still there but very small to see.
"Not what I expected but still cool though" said Dash smiling gleefully.
A knock at the door could be heard from across the room.
"Hey Dash you in there? You said we were going to the bar tonight" said Gilda.
"Yea yea I'm coming Gilda" yelled Rainbow from across the room as she grabbed her car keys before opening the door to greet her friend.
"There you are, I was waiting for you" said Gilda impatiently.
Rainbow rolled her eyes.
"Let's just go like we planned" said Dash feeling a bit annoyed.
The two friends got in the car, Dash started the engine, backed it out of her garage before looking behind her to see if anyone was behind her. When the coast was clear she backed up then drove off. Gilda sat back in her seat relaxing a bit enjoying the ride but then she noticed Rainbow's new necklace.
"What's with the new accessory? I never thought you were the type to wear jewelry" teased Gilda.
"It just looks cool ok?" responded Dash sharply but also blushing in embarrassing.
Gilda busted up laughing while giving her best friend a friendly dig in the arm, Dash gave an awkward laugh before she parked her car in the bar parking lot then got out and walked inside the bar. Inside were people having conversations about things Gilda wasn't interested in or just flat out didn't really care about. Dash found a seat on a stool ordering a scotch whiskey and Gilda got a Jack Daniels as the two drank away their problems as if they had any.
"So Dash how is Scootaloo doing?" asked Gilda trying to start a conversation while they were here.
"She's doing ok in Italy getting some well deserved R&R that is until she comes back in a year" answered Dash downing her scotch whiskey.
"That sounds pretty cool" responded Gilda.
Doors suddenly flung open as a bunch of guys and two girls stormed in as everyone stopped their conversations then proceeded to leave except for Dash and Gilda. One of the girls tapped Gilda's shoulder and was met with a knockout punch to the nose breaking it.
Leave it to Gilda to start a bar fight
Gilda knocked out three more guys with kicks in the face and punches in the stomach or heart whichever came first. A lone man was charging at Rainbow so without thinking quickly enough, she moved like a bullet train causing the man to lodge his head into of the beer taps barrels.
"Whoa" said Dash surprising herself.
2 of the attackers ran off with their tails tucked behind their legs as Dash still surprised at her sudden quick thinking saved her life then looked at her hands as they sparked like crazy but hid them as Gilda walked over to her.
"You ok Dash?" asked Gilda.
"Yea and how about you?" responded Dash asking her friend the same question, still having the sparking hands.
"Yea I got a little banged up but nothing nice hot bath won't fix" proclaimed Gilda.
The two girls drove back home but Gilda wanted to go home first which was not too far into the city of Metropolis.
"Well see ya" said Gilda getting out of the car waving goodbye before going into her apartment.
Dash waved goodbye as well before driving off pondering the thought of what happened to the earlier. Her body just moved on it's own causing the man to get his head stuck in the beer tap barrel.
That wasn't a trick, that actually happened
She knew the necklace had some involvement in this, I mean she didn't do this on her own power there was some outside force causing her to suddenly move like that. This thought didn't leave her mind as she drove home but something caught her eye as she saw an apartment fire so Dash stopped her car in a safe area away from oncoming traffic then got out the passenger's side.
"Alright time to put my new powers to the test" said Dash, as she tapped the necklace bringing out a ball of electricity giving her the costume from before she went to the bar with Gilda.
The fire was spreading throughout the building and doing so fast so Dash looked up at the sky then raised her arms to summon rain and a dark cloud loomed above the building with heavy rain which doused out the fire inside and out.
Whoa it's like I can control the weather or something
Dash shook that sudden excitement putting on her serious face walking in the building covering her nose and mouth so she wouldn't breathe in any smoke evacuated everyone in the building as paramedics arrived to tend to anyone wounded in the fire but from where Dash was standing, it looked like everyone was ok for the most part.
"Hey thanks for the assist, we need more people like you" said an EMS worker.
"It was no trouble at all, by the way you can call me Zapp the Awesome" proclaimed Dash standing proud but the worker was not impressed.
"How about just Zapp?" he asked a little annoyed.
"That works too" responded Dash as she flew off in a streak of lightning back to her room.
Tapping the necklace once again changing back to her normal self, Dash collapsed on the couch asleep.
