H.E.A.R.T. Station Zone

Final Showdown in Space

Once Dash arrived at the space station that had not yet left the atmosphere, she was greeted with a boss rush of all four of Dr. Eggheart's most recent failures. After destroying the balloon machine, Rainbow Dash began taunting "Is this it? I gotta say I'm disappointed, I was expecting more from a final encounter from the 'oh so amazing genius of Eggheart!'"

"You want a challenge? Fine! I'll give you one." Eggheart shouted back. After shooting through a pipe elevator, Dash found Eggheart standing in front of her. "Wow! Okay, you got me, I give, I mean you're actually STANDING!" Dash mocked.

"That's not all!" Eggheart jumped down a hole that opened up in the floor, with Dash looking on in some curiosity. Then the hole was capped off by a giant dome that looked like Eggheart's face, and a giant robot that resembled him, standing on two legs and had spikes at the end of its arms, was lifted from the hole. It was another old robot, and one that actually nearly defeated Rainbow Dash last time. But this time Dash was anything but nervous, "This old thing? You've really got to get with the times here, all you've been using is a bunch of failures! I'll get bored smashing the same robots again and again."

"I'll have you know that they were not the same, they were all enhanced!"

"And yet they were even easier to beat, now to add this one to the list." She began to pound the machine finding it, unsurprisingly, easier than last time. The robot would occasionally fly into the air and try to land on her, and shoot it's spiked hands at her, but it was all for not. Dash had already got about a dozen or so hits.

Then things started to get crazy, suddenly sparks started flying from the machine and the alarm started to sound alongside red flashing lights. Dash started getting nervous, as the robot started becoming more erratic and started throwing lasers into the mix of its attacks. She could hear Eggheart within screaming out "Wah! No! The controls won't respond! I can't stop it!"

The body was surrounded by electricity, leaving no opening unless Dash wanted to get a major shock. That is until the robot shot out its arm, and it dug into the ground, "That's it!" Dash realized as she homing attacked the arm back into the robot which tipped back, revealing a weak spot.

She took full advantage and scored about four hits, after repeating a couple more times, Eggheart began to scream "No! It's falling apart! My beautiful plan! Grr.." He launched the robot into the air one last time, "Hehehe, well you know what they say my dear; If I'm going down I'm taking you with me!" With that he smashed onto the floor attempting to hit Rainbow Dash, with her narrowly escaping and she deled one final blow, and the robot began to burst, taking with it the floor. As it feel, Dash began to make her exit, and the robot smashed into the power core of the station and the entire place started going up in flames….!

Rainbow Dash Cleared The Final Stage

Rainbow Dash made her way back to Splishy Splashy Hill Zone to regroup with the others. They greeted her by applauding her success, with Dash eating it up as usual.

"But there's still one thing that I don't get, just why did Dr. Eggheart lock us up exactly?" asked Applejack.

"Huh, I never really thought about that." replied Rainbow Dash.

"Well I suppose it doesn't really matter now does it? He's already been put in his place." commented Rarity. Just then, the five gems that Dash had collected popped out and began to circle above them and glow, and then… they vanished.

"What just happened!?" asked a startled Pinkie Pie.

"I don't know, but it's not the first time that's happened. Only last time, I actually tried to use them.." said Rainbow Dash.

"I wonder where they went?" said Fluttershy.

Epilogue

In the depths of the Egg Plant Zone, Dr. Eggheart was putting the finishing touches on his newest invention. "Hehehe, everything went according to plan. Except for the Elements of Harmony, I couldn't find out why the energy samples from the elements were reacting to those five ponies. Oh well, I still have what I need, and now that I have the data I needed, I can finally complete my most brilliant creation yet." Pistons pumped and electricity sparked as it breathed artificial life into the robotic being. Its eyes glowed magenta as it roared to life. "Ehehehe, now all we need to do is take you on a test run.."
