(THE NEXT DAY, IN A TREE HOUSE)

"Attention, everyppony. Attention! The official Rainbow Dash fan club will come to order. Let's get right down to our first order of business." Scootaloo said. "I motion that Rainbow Dash be declared the most awesome pony in Ponyville." She continued.

"I second the motion! And might I add that if you looked up the word 'awesome' in the dictionary, there would be a picture of Rainbow Dash." A yellow skinny unicorn said. Everypony nodded.

"I object." A little fat blue unicorn said. "I think the word 'awesome' is played out. Rainbow Dash deserves better. I motion that we declare her the most stupendous pony." He said.

"Stupendous? Is the that the best you got? I motion that we declare her wonderrific." Scootaloo said.

"Astonishing." He said.

"Breathtaking."

"Astounding."

"Bedazzling."

"What about super-ultra extremawesomazing?" Somepony said.

"Yeah." Everypony agreeded.

"All in favor of declare Rainbow Dash the most Super-ultra extra- uh, whatever you said- pony in all of Ponyville, say 'Aye'." Scootaloo said.

"Aye!" Everypony said.

[chuckling] Rainbow was behind a window looking at the fan club, laughing.


(LATER)

Rainbow was flying around the clouds, "What a beautiful day. There's nothing like a dip in the clouds to make a pegasus feel super relaxed." She said.

"Help! Help!" She heard a voice under her.

Rainbow looked to the ground, and saw that the voice was coming from a old well.

"Looks like my sky swim will have to wait." She dashed inside the well, on the bottom she found a little pony, covered in dirt. She picked the pony then dashed out of the well.

There where a crowd around it when she came out. Rainbow landed asa the crown cheered to her.

"Wow. What's with this crowd? Uh, thanks, everypony. It was really no big deal." Rainbow said.

"To me, it was. You're my hero, Rainbow Dash." The little pony she saved said, they cheered again. Rainbow then flied to the clouds again.

"That Rainbow Dash sure is something." Scootallo said.

"Something special." The unicorns from the fan club said.


(NEXT DAY)

[Scream] A pink earth pony screamed as her baby cart with her baby, was running road down out of control.

Rainbow from her cloud, her the baby crying and didn't waste time before dashing to the cart, grabbed the handle and used her hoofs as brakes to stop it before it fall off the cliff.

Everypony cheered as Rainbow looked at the baby. [gasps]" Oh, no, There's something wrong with the baby!" Rainbow said.

The crowd stopped cheering. "...She's not cheering for everypony's favorite hero, Rainbow Dash!" She said, clear that she was enjoing the attention as the crowd cheered again.

She then bring the baby back to their mother, then some ponies beginned taken photos of her, she begin making poses to it.

"There just aren't enough words in the dictionary to describe Rainbow Dash's awesomeness." Scootaloo said.

"I can think of a few new words." Twilight said to Applejack.

"And I bet 'modest' is not one of them." She said.

Rainbow then dashed through the sky, making a smoke trail, forming her element simbol on the sky.

"No, but she is sure kind of awesome." Twilight said.

"Let her have her moment. It's not like it will have something for she to save tomorrow, right?" Sonic said.


(NEXT DAY)

In the balcone of the nursing home, was four old ponies minding their business, when suddently the balcony begin cracking up. They gasped as they hold on it.

"Never fear - Your friendly neighborhood Rainbow Dash is here!" Rainbow said, dashing under the falling balcone before it crashed on the ground, she slowed it until reached the ground to releasing it.

[All cheering] "We'd be lost without you!", "You're a hero, Rainbow Dash." Some random ponies shouted from the crowd, boosting her ego.

She then flouted above then. [chanting] "Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash!" The crowd cheered.

[Singsong voice] "I can't hear you!" Rainbow said.

[Chanting louder] "RAINBOW DASH! RAINBOW DASH!" The crowd cheered even louder.

Rainbow then beginned to make some stunts.

"Call me silly, but I think this whole hero thing might be going to Rainbow Dash's head." Twilight said.

"You may be right... Silly." Pinkie Pie said.


(LATER, INSIDE THE BAKERY)

"And then I zoomed into the well. I knew it would be dark and dangerous, but I didn't let that stop me. Danger is my middle name – Rainbow Danger Dash." Rainbow said, put her sunglasses. "Thinking back on it, I acted pretty awesomely heroic that day." She said.

"... That day." Spike repeated as he writes.

"Awesomely heroic that day and awesomely arrogant ever since." Applejack said.

"Mm-hmm" Both Twilight and Pinkie agreeded.

"Hey, Applejack, how would you like to be immortalized as my friend?" Rainbow asked as she brings Applejack to take a photo.

"Immorta-what?" Applejack asked as the photographer take photos of them.

Spike noted what Rainbow said. "Are you taking notes?" Twilight asked.

"Yep. I've been hoof-picked by Rainbow Dash herself to write her autobiography." Spike said.

"Um, autobiographes are supposed to be writen by the pony their are about." Twilight said.

"Maybe for your normal run-of-the-mill ponies, but I'm far too busy saving lives to stop and write. And that's why I hired Spike as my ghost writer." Rainbow said.

[screams] "Spike's a ghost!" Pinkie Pie shouted as she runned out of there.

"Anyway, Spike, here, writes down everything I say don't you, Spike?" Rainbow asked.

"...Don't you, Spike?" He writed. "Got it." He said.

"This way, I can stay focused on perfoming those acts of bravery that nopony else has the guts to perform." Rainbow said.

"Excuse me?" Sonic said, offended.

"Yeah. Takes guts. But it also takes brains. And some times, a big lunch and a nap. Being a hero is durely not for everypony, but I'm up to the challenge." Rainbow said, making Sonic frown.

"Well, then good luck with your stupid heroism, but if you need help, don't come to me." Sonic said upset, leaving the bakery.

"Huh? What's wrong with him?" Rainbow asked.

"You just don't see you offended him?" Tails asked.

"What? I just say the truth." Rainbow said, then went to take some photos with the little ponies. The girls and Tails looked at each other, then leaved.


(AT THE LIBRARY)

"We need to do something about Rainbow." Applejack said.

"Hmm... I think I have an idea. Why don't we disgueses our selfs and then we steal Rainbow's fans by saving the ponies before her." Twilight said.

"But we don't have the skills to compete against her." Tails said.

"We all could use our combined skills to beat her on it." Twilight said.

"Well, I think I can make the clothes for you guys, but should we call Sonic's help?" Rarity asked.

"I don't thing Sonic is in the mood to even heard about anything that envolves Rainbow." Tails said.

"Ok, but how we will do about Rainbow's speed?" She asked.

"I think I can make a device that can predict a desaster, so that will help you girls on getting to position before Rainbow even get the chance to do anything." Tails said.

"Then it's settle. Tomorrow we will put the plan on action." Twilight said.


(THE NEXT DAY, AT THE CENTER OF THE VILLAGE)

Rainbow was signing autographs, there was a big line to it. "Ah, there you go." Rainbow said, signing another photo of her.

"Someday, I want to be just like you." The white little pony said.

"Aim high, kid, but don't aim for the impossible." Rainbow said. Then there was a scream.

They saw a ballon falling with a pony inside it, shouting for help.

"Uh, don't you think you should go and help?" One of her fans asked.

"Yeah, yeah. I've got a good 10 seconds to spare. Just one more." Rainbow said, signing another one. She then flied to the ballon, but not really using her speed.

"The tension is unbearable. Will Rainbow Dash make it on time?" Spike narrated as he continued writing it, then he notice a shadow past him, he looked and saw a disguised pony jumping from roof to roof, then jumped high and grabbed the pony from the ballon, before Rainbow, who just hit it. Then landed on a tree.

She get up and saw the ponies cheering to the misterious pony. Then it leaved the scene.

"Holy Turnips! That pony came out of nowhere! I've never seen such bravery in all my life!" One pony said.

That's right. Ponyville has a new hero – a mysterious mare that has done well by our fair city today. I dub this new masked hero the mysterious mare do well!" The mayor said. [all cheering].

"Mare do well, huh? Well, that mare would do well to stay out of my way. Ponyville's only got room for one hero, and that hero is me." Rainbow said, triping on one of the ropes from the ballon.


(THE NEXT DAY)

A carriage with some ponies inside, was runing out of control in a path that leaded to a cliff.

[screamings] Rainbow then fliyed at the side of it. "Never fear – your friendely neighborhood Rainbow- ", "Excuse me. Uh, do you think you could skip your catchphrase and just hurry up and save us?" One of the ponies asked.

"Ugh, fine." Rainbow said, as she flied in front of it then tried to use her hoofs as brakes to stop it, but she wasn't strong enough to stop it, and she was thrown back by it. Rainbow looked helplessness to it, when suddently the Mare Do Well appeared and used her hoofs to stop the carriage before it fell off the cliff.

"Oh, thank you, Mare Do W-" They saw the Mare juping the hills and dessapearing behind one.

"I can't believe it. Mare Do Well is stronger than me? Well, a hero is more than just muscle. She's gonna learn that the hard way." Rainbow said.


(SOMETIME LATER)

In a costruction site, one of the cranes begin malfunction, Rainbow flying around saw it, "Never fear – your friendly neighbor – whoa!" Rainbow said as she dodge a wood beam. It crashed at the building in construction, who beginned to shake and drooping construction materials and tools, making the area dangerous.

"Never fear - Ah!" Rainbow interrupted herself as she dodge a brick. "I'm coming!" Rainbow said as she tried without sucess, rescuing one of the workers.

"Look!" One of them said, pointing to Mare Do Well, who was o above the crane, she jumped of it, evaded with ease every drop then begineed rescuing the workers.

Rainbow then saw a crate of bricks falling above one of the workers. She dashed to him, saving him just by two seconds before the bricks get him. She then beginned dodging the drops, the worker warning her, she reached the safe area. "Here you go. Safe and sound." Rainbow said, then the building finally collapsed to the ground, the worker she saved just passed out.

"Oh, well, Mare Do well. Or should I call you Mare Do Slow? You're gonna have to pick up the pace if you want to compete with me 'cause I move like lightning." Rainbow said.

"Actually, she saved all of us. We owe her our lives." One of the workers said. They leaved.

[growls] "Okay, she's strong, fast, and somehow knows what's gonna happen ahead of time. I've got to set up my game." Rainbow said.


(LATER AT THE DAM)

Rainbow flied pass it, but then saw it has a big crack on it.

[gasps]" If the dam breaks, the whole town will be flooded! Looks like Ponyville needs a hero." Rainbow said to no one. She went and put her hoof on it, preventing it from leak out.

"Easy peasy." Raibow said, not noticing the crack expanding, "My game is officialy back on. If only somepony were here to pat me on the back. Guess I'll have to do it myself." Rainbow said as she removed her hoof from the wall of the dam, it cracked all over it before breaking and hitting Rainbow withthe water.

"Ahhh! Help!" Rainbow said as she was being pushed by the stream, she was having problems on keeping from get drowned, when somepony grabbed her hoof and put her on the ground. Rainbow coughed some water, then looked to who saved her. "Sonic?" She asked.

He only glared at her but didn't say nothing, the they saw the Mare Do Well removing her hat and charged her horn with magic, levitating a lot of rocks and using them to fix the dams walls, it looked as if never breaked in the first place.

"Wow, she's good." Sonic said.

"You have to be kidding me." Rainbow said.

A crowd appeared then cheered to the Mare as she leaved.

"Let me get this straight- She's strong, she's agile, and she's magic? UGGHH. [thud] How so I compete with that?!" Rainbow said. "Wait a minute. I do have a leg up on her." She said.

"And that is?" Sonic asked.

"Wings!" Rainbow then begin flying, but then the Mare appeared out of nowhere flying with wings as the crowd cheered again.

"Oh, come on..." She said, Sonic chuckled.


(NEXT DAY, INSIDE THE BAKERY)

"Got to hand it to the girl. That Mare Do Well sure can pull off some pretty heroic feats." Applejack said.

"I must say, I was impressed by that spell she used to fix the dam. Seems like something like that would take quite a bit of study." Twilight said.

[growls] "She really cares about everypony's safety." Fluttershy said.

"Have you seen her costume? It's to die for. If you ask me, she's a hero of fashion." Rarity said.

"And she's modest and humble. She let's her actions speak for themselves. You got to admire that." Applejack said.

"I don't admire that! I don't think she's all that great!" Rainbow said.

"She's great" Spike noted it. "I didn't say that." Rainbow said to him.

"Sounds like somepony's jealous." Twilight said.

"Who, me?" Rainbow asked.

"Rainbow Dash is jealous." Spike said, noting it.

"Don't write that, Spike!" Rainbow said, annoyed.

[laughter] The girls beginned laughing. "Correction – 'Rainbow Dash is very jealous.'" Spike said, noting it.

"Fine! Laugh all you want. But I'll be the one laughing when I prove to you all that I'm just as good – No, that I am a better hero than Mare Do Well." Rainbow said, dashing outside.

"You really need to do that?" Sonic asked.

"What?" Twilight asked.

"Annoying her. I'll follow her to make sure she don't make something stupid." Sonic leaved. The girls just shrugged.


(WITH RAINBOW)

"Ugh, no sign of trouble here." Rainbow said as she flied through town, "Buses and baby carriages are always careeing down this hill, where is an out-of-control vehicle when you need one?" Rainbow asked as she continued searching for any trouble. [groans] "There are absolutely no freak natural disasters going anywhere. How I'm supposed to prove myself when everything's so normal and safe?" She questioned herself. [sighs] "Who I'm kidding?" She said saddly.


(LATER)

Rainbow Dash was lying down on a dark cloud, "Ugh! All anypony talks about is Mare Do well this and Mare Do well that. What about me? How could everypony forget about me so easily? I mean, have I changed? Same sleek body. Same flowing mane. Same spectacular hooves. Nope. I'm still awesome. They're wrong. But then why am I alone? I hate being all alone." Rainbow said.

"Then you won't mind me being here, then?" Sonic asked as he landed on her cloud.

"Sonic?" She asked.

"That's me." He said.

[sighs] "Look, I'm sorry about being rude with you some days before." Rainbow said, looking at the ground.

"Well, I forgive you. But you don't look good, it's about the Mare Do well, right?" He asked.

"Yeah. Everypony just keep talking about her, but what about me? They just forget me." She said sad.

"Well, you shouldn't be upset about that. A true hero doesn't do it just for fame and glory, a true hero do it because it's the right thing to do. So, you're a hero or not?" Sonic asked.

"You... You're right, I shouldn't be chasing fame or glory. Thanks Sonic." She said.

"You're welcome. Now why don't we go to Mare Do well celebration the mayor prepared?" Sonic asked.

"Wait, what?" Rainbow asked, frouning.

"The mayor making a celebration to Mare Do well." Sonic said.

"The mayor never did a celebration for me." Rainbow said.

"Come on, Rainbow. Don't be jealous, now." Sonic said.

[Sighs] "Fine." Rainbow said, following Sonic to the celebration.


(AT THE CELEBRATION)

"Welcome to Ponyville's first, but surely not last, thank-you parade in honor of our city's greatest hero, the mysterious... Mare Do well!" The mayor said as the Mare appeared through the paper with her image.

[all cheering] "Now that's overstatement." Sonic said as Rainbow nodded. She then flied to the Mare. "Wait." Sonic tried to grab Rainbow but was too late.

"The mysterious Mare Do well, huh? So, what are you hiding? Let's see how mysterious you are without that mask." Raibow said as she tried to grab her mask, but the mysterious mare ecaded her, then runned to town, Rainbow right behind her.

"Ugh, you have to be kidding me." Sonic said as he runned after her.

Rainbow saw her turning a corner, but as she turned it, she couldn't find her. Sonic reached her.

"Rainbow, what your doing?!" Sonic asked.

"I want to see who is she." Rainbow said, then saw the mare in another alley, she dashed with Sonic to there, but the mare wasn't there anymore. "Where did she go?" Rainbow asked.

"There!" Sonic pointed behind them, but before they turned the corner, they heard a whistle, they looked behind to see the mare running behing a corner.

"What the? How did she get there?" Sonic asked. They went after her, but stopped when they saw a wall with her on top of it, jumping to the other side.

"Let's split up, you continue chasing her, I will cut by the alley." Sonic said as he went to an alley, while Rainbow continued chasing the mare. They continued until Sonic appeared of nowhere, crashed on the mare and hold her down.

"Finally. Now let's see who is this." Rainbow was about to remove the mask, when suddently they heard a explosion.

"What was that?" Sonic asked as he and Rainbow looked at each other.

"Don't know. I will check it out." Rainbow went outside the alley, only for a blur to hit her.

"Rainbow!" Sonic dashed to her, forgeting the mare, who get up and went to investigate.

"You okay?" He asked.

"Ugh, I think so. But I think I saw a blue robot hitting me." Rainbow said as she lokked around.

They heard another explosion, "We better destory it before he destory the town." Sonic said, then he saw Mare Do well walking to them. "You're gonna help us too." Sonic said, the mare nodded as she runned ahead.

"Well, what are you waiting? Let's not leave all the fun for her." Sonic said as he and Rainbow runned after the sounds of explosions.

Suddently, when they turned a corner, they saw three Mare Do well, they were attacking the blue robot, who was actually winning against them. They saw that Rarity and Tails appearing from a corner engaging the robot too, while Fluttershy pulled the ponies out of there.

"There are three of them?!" Rainbow asked.

"Less talk, more fighting, Rainbow!" Sonic said, crashing head on the robot, making it crashes on one of the buildings.

'Wait, where's Twilight, Applejack and Pinkie Pie?' Raibow Dash wondered as she joined the fight.

The robot get up, and in a speed that got even Sonic by surprise, hitted him hard and making him crash on a building.

"Sonic! You gonna regret that!" Rainbow dashed to the robot with a kick, but it reflect it and kicked her, making her fly some distance before she stopped the fall with her wings. Tails was using a electric blaster he removed from a robot that attacked before and fired multiple time at the robot, who just evaded then and fired back, making Tails got cover to not get shot.

Rarity and the three mysterious mares attacked together the robot. Rarity levitated some boulders she pulled out of the ground and thrown at the robot, who just punched them, One mare fired a fire ball at him, he just dodge it, as he blocked a kick from another one, and then the other fired at him a ball of confetti so hard he did lose some balance and giving Sonic the perfect time to spindash him as he returned from the crash.

The robot was damaged moderally when he was hit by Sonic who then landed but before he could react, the robot slashed him on his chest then kicked right on his head, it hitted him so hard that Sonic was thrown to the other side of town, Rainbow then attacked the robot with fast kicks but the robot was blocking every single one.

Tails took that opportunity and fired a overcharged electric dart, which caused the robot to begin sparkling and malfunction. "L-low ener-*indescribable noise of static*-rves. Initia-*more static*-reat." It said as he punched Rainbow, then dropped a smoke boom, it made a dense smoke wall, making impossible for the ponies to see the robot retreating back to the forest.

After the smoke dissipates. [gasps] "Sonic!" Rainbow dashed to where he landed, Tails,Rarity and the three Mares followed behing her.


(AT THE HOSPITAL)

The recepcionist was reading a book, when the doors were slammed open, a group of ponies came inside, a rainbow colored one who had some bruises, was holding a bleeding unconsious blue pegasus, they came running to her. "Please! Our friend here is seriously injured." Twilight said, the recepcionist called imeddiately the nurses, who came running with a stretcher, they put Sonic on it and bring him to the emergency room. They followed her until one of the nurses stopped them. "You wait here." She said as she entered the room, a doctor rushed inside too.

"I hope he get well." Rainow said as she let a tear fall, nopony notoce it, except Tails but didn't say anything as he too was scared for Sonic.


(FOUR HOURS LATER, NIGHT TIME)

One of the nurses exited the room. "Is he okay?" Rainbow and Tails asked the same time.

"He's stable now, but..." She didn't finished.

"He's what?" Rainbow asked.

"... He's in a coma." She said.

They gasped. "B-but when he will wake up?" Tails asked.

"We don't know." The nurse said.

"No..." Rainbow said as tears begin fall from her eyes.

"Can we see him?" Twilight asked.

"... I guess you could. Here." The nurse opened the door, they entered the room when they saw Sonic they gasped again as he has his head totally bandaged, his chest has bandages that were a little bloody, and one of his wings has being stitched.

Tails looked to the side, don't wanting to see Sonic in this state anymore, Twilight hugged him. The others just looked at him, Rainbow was heartbroken inside, she was furious at that robot, and was angry at herself for let that thing escape. Nobody said anything, as they didn't have anything to say or wanting to worse the mood of the room.

"Look y'all should leave now. The visit hours have ended already." The nurse said.

"Can't we stay, at least one of us?" Fluttershy asked.

"Just if is his family or girlfriend." The nurse said.

"I'll stay." Rainbow said imeddiately.

"You is his girlfriend or familiar?" The nurse asked.

"Uh... girlfriend." Rainbow lied. The others looked at her but didn't say anything.

"Ok, the rest of you can come tomorrow to visit him on the visit hours." The nurse said as she lead them outside.

Rainbow pulled a chair to the side of Sonic's bed, she set down on it then looked at him. One tear fell on the bed, then another one, then two more fell and so on. She was feeling like she has been stabbed on her chest, as the more she looked to him, the more it hurted. She begin asking herself if she still considered him a friend or if he was more than that.

"Sonic... please come back to me." She said, holding his hoof as she cried herself sleep.


(SOMEWHERE IN THE FOREST)

"Where the hell is Metal?" Eggman asked one of his robots servents, when suddently, Metal Sonic came in the room, barely able to keep standing.

"What happened?" Eggman asked.

*static*-feated by so-*static*" Then it crashed on the ground, out of power.

"Great." Eggman said sarcastically, he then grabbed Metal's memory video data, while Orbot and Cubot bring Metal to repair and recharge.

Eggman put the data on his computer and watched the video.


(AFTER THE VIDEO)

Eggman slammed his hands on the metal table. "That pests! How could that blue one be that fast?! Only if..." He went to where Metal Sonic was been repaired, grabbed a sample of the blood that were in his claws, then went to test it.

After some minutes, Eggman got the results on his computer. "Just as I thought. That rodent got thrown here too. But he have been transformed into a pony? Whatever, I will destroy him, even it is the last thing I will do!" Eggman exclaimed, then he beginned watching the video again, searching for more information he could find.
