Rainbow Dash stuck herself in Twilight Sparkle's basement for 3 days. Whenever she came out and went to Ponyville, she came back with odd things. Scraps of metal, a shiny gem from Rarity, and other things Rainbow Dash wouldn't normally have with her. On the fourth day of this madness, Twilight finally decided to check on what was going on.

She ran downstairs into her basement and saw Rainbow Dash working on what seemed to be a robot, but was actually a metal suit. It had the colors red and gold all over it with the giant gem in the middle. It had slots for the wings to stay out but it seemed that it wasn't really needed because the bottom of the hooves had jets in them.

As Rainbow Dash finished, she turned around to see her friend, Twilight Sparkle, staring in awe. "How did you...?" Twilight asked, completely amazed at this contraption. "Well I've actually been working on if for a whole month, I just started the first few weeks in my place but they were planning some thunderstorms and I just moved my project here."

Rainbow Dash then held out her front hooves and watched the hooves of the suit stick onto her. Twilight was just sitting there, staring. She couldn't believe the Pegasus could make such a thing. Rainbow Dash was finally in the full suit, looking at Twilight Sparkle. "This is the Iron Mare. I've been planning to make this right after your birthday and bam. Here it is. Now why don't I go take it a whirl?" She said powering up the jets. "Wait! No! Not here-"

Twilight got cut off by Rainbow Dash blasting off, leaving a hole inside the treehouse. Twilight then walked under the hole that the rainbow pony has made and shook her head, face hoofing. As Twilight started cleaning up, Rainbow was flying in the air, going in zig zags and loops.

She felt amazing or should I say, awesome? Whilst flying through the skies of Equestria, she arrived right above the Everfree Forest and saw what seemed to be a unicorn with a black cloak over her, causing a ruckus around the forest (Rainbow Dash wasn't up too high, she wanted to have a good look at everything below her too.) She then swooped down to check it out.
