Anyone who has worked for the Speedwagon Foundation for any length of time knows the history of its founder, Robert EO Speedwagon. Once a simple street urchin growing up on Ogre Street in London, England, by 1888 he had became the leader of a gang at least a hundred men strong. But right as his gang was at their height of power, they immediately changed their ideals. The reason for this was a chance encounter with a pair of siblings, Jonathan Joestar and Lydia Twilight.

Speedwagon had never liked the upper crust of society, feeling they didn't deserve all the fancy titles and monikers of "nobility" due to their snobby attitudes and they way they looked down on those that made less than they did. But Jonathan and Lydia proved to be much different, to the point where Speedwagon soon considered Jonathan a true friend, and actually fell in love with Lydia. Lydia shared that sentiment, and after the first defeat of Dio Brando, they were married.

It wasn't long after that Speedwagon saw his fortune reverse completely. While in Dallas, Texas helping Lydia find the arrow that gave her a Stand, they stumbled across a natural oil well. Now finding himself a wealthy man, Speedwagon swore to put his newfound wealth to good use. To that end he created the Speedwagon Foundation, a corporation dedicated to progressing humanity through advancements in medicine and technology. And as the company grew, so too did Speedwagon's family. The Speedwagon name eventually fell out as Speedwagon's only granddaughter got married, but ownership of the company remained with that bloodline.

Currently that ownership was meant to be split between the two siblings of the current generation, Iro "Rainbow Dash" Dashell and her twin brother, Rusty. However Rainbow was very much like her ancestor's early days, more of a rebel without a real cause. Luckily she also inherited his good qualities, such as a gift for attracting followers. And while she had little reason to want to run the family business, she still worked there regardless so as to show she never forgot her family's legacy.

Among the group of friends she gathered was an eager but clumsy young girl whom everyone called Scootaloo. She was a likable sort, and Rainbow chose to take her under her wing. Unfortunately, bad times would soon strike. Rainbow was shocked one day to find out someone had attacked and brutalized Scootaloo. There might have been other damages but Rainbow was too stunned by the news to pay attention. Luckily the kid would survive, but Rainbow wasn't about to let it go so easily.

So she started studying. She suspected there had to be more than one person involved, and she wanted a way to fight multiple people at once. Eventually she learned of the ancient battle technique called Hamon and heard there was a master of the art living just off the coast of Venice, Italy. She was already able to generate this power naturally, so she sought out that master to control it. When she met the man, Messina by name, he confirmed that she had the capacity to learn to harness Hamon. He warned her that seeking revenge for what happened to Scootaloo would result in serious consequences.

Yet he encouraged her actions regardless, saying fate would put her in a position to help save the world if she accepted those consequences. This was the fate he had read from her using Hamon, an energy said to be able to create miracles. It was during this time that Rainbow's latent Stand started to form, enough to let her see the invisible world of Stands but not enough to awaken her power just yet. By the time she was done with her basic training, she had learned enough to accomplish her goal. Messina said he would be waiting for the day when Rainbow would return to complete her training.

In the meantime Rainbow used her connections in Speedwagon to locate the bastards who attacked her younger sister figure, and used what she learned to deal them a harsh lesson. She wasn't surprised to learn they had powerful connections of their own which they tried using to paint her as a dangerous psychopath, but their efforts were in vain. Regardless, she still agreed to plead guilty to assault, knowing that her efforts would insure they would get worse. And while she didn't know what trick of fate put her in contact with the current heir of the Joestar legacy, she was certain this was what Messina might have been referring to.

Back in the present, Rainbow seemed to have a dark look on her face as Kenzo announced his intentions. "So that's what it's all about to you, isn't it? Just gathering more and more. You caught a lucky break when you survived a dose of karma when your followers were interfering with the whole of society, yet you haven't learned your lesson." Kenzo scoffed. "I don't have to explain myself to some street urchin who knows nothing of responsibility. Just how many people did you put in the hospital for the sake of one insignificant child?"

"None," Rainbow said coldly, "Because there is nothing insignificant about Scootaloo. She's a friend, and always will be. For someone who relies on feng shui, you sure rack up a lot of negative karma." "You know, she's got a point," Dragon's Dream pointed out, "The only reason you've escaped until now is because of my advice." Kenzo groaned. "You may be my Stand, but it's annoying that you help my enemies as much as me."

"And one more thing," Rainbow said as her fist started crackling with energy, "I'm not just some punk off the street. I'm a proud member of Speedwagon family! Our origins may be from the London backstreets, but we've long since stepped out of the shadows! And just like my ancestor, Robert EO Speedwagon, I can't stand people like you who act like more than they really are out of sheer arrogance!" She stomped the ground, generating a Hamon shockwave.

Kenzo and Dragon's Dream gasped as the compass ring went wild. "She's doing it again!," Dragon's Dream realized, "Everytime she strikes with her Hamon the energy of the area changes, causing the feng shui to reset!" Kenzo growled. "To think there would be a force out there strong enough to alter feng shui. We'll need to take this elsewhere. Dragon's Dream!" The statue of Dragon's Dream returned to the compass ring and started spinning. "There we are," Kenzo said, "The perfect place to finish her." He leapt down the nearby staircase, Rainbow following. "I hope she knows what she's doing," Anasui said, "Those stairs lead to the punishment ward's execution chamber..."

I hope you aren't too mad about what I put through Scootaloo through. I promise it was for a good cause...

That said, we'll be finishing off the Kenzo fight next chapter.
