A Villian is Born

Lightning Dust's POV

The first part of my plan would be the hardest if I hadn't saved Pitch from the guards. There's this place called "Equestria Laboratories" in Canterlot that specializes in advance technology. So what does that have to do with my plan. Simple, have them build for me a suit that'll allow me to combat Mare-Do-Well ,at horn-point if necessary. Even if Pitch is a musician, any unicorn pony can shoot magic blasts for offensive or defensive purposes.  After Pitch's arrest, I followed the guards to Canterlot, and took them out before they reach the prison. Freeing Pitch, we made our way over to Equestria Labs. From the outside, it was just a large square building painted white with windows at regular intervals along the sides. At the front were two glass doors.

"Okay, how are we going to do this?" the stallion asked.

"We go in and demand what I want, and if they refuse, you blast them." I replied.

"Seems kind of crude." he commented.

"Crude, but effective." I replied.

We walked casually into the build and straight to the front desk.

"Excuse me, where do we go to order a metal combat suit?" I asked.

The pony stared at me like I was crazy. She pressed a button on a box on her desk.

"Security needed at front desk." she said into a box.

"Blast her!" I ordered.

A blue blast knock the secretary out cold.

"Come on, before we have company." I ordered.

Pitch and I ran through the facility, looking for anything that could help us.  The inside wasn't much different from the outside, white tile walls with windows that showed what was going on inside the rooms. One sign read "Testing Track" above us, and inside I could see a red pegasus wearing a jumpsuit and strange braces on her hooves holding some kind of gun.

"Wait, let's see here." I said

We watch as the red pony shot something blue from the gun at the wall. The blue ammo made a blue circle on the wall. Then she shot orange ammo on another wall, making an orange circle that you can see through, also,you can see through the blue circle now. She then went through the blue hole and came out the orange one.

"Oh, I get it, it's some kind of portal device." Pitch said excitedly.

"Great, but not what we need, keep moving." I replied.

As we ran through the halls, I saw another sign that read "Hazardous Environment suit". We stopped and looked into the room. Something that looked like a pony wearing black and orange armor with guns on its back was shooting at pony shaped targets.

"Bingo!" I cheered.

We walked into the room. Two scientist had their backs to us.

"I don't think it needs guns." a large  brown stallion said.

"Do you not know what "hazardous" means Dr. Brown?" a donkey retorted.

"Yes Cranky, I realize that some danger will require fire power to be dealt with, but this suit is mean to help somepony survive areas were the air is poisonous and can hurt you inside and out." Dr. Brown replied.

" Dr.Time Turner, what do you  think?" Cranky asked.

The pony wearing the suit took off the helmet. I recognized him as the pony I met when I first went to Ponyville.

"Actually Cranky, I changed my name to Hooves." Hooves said.

"Dr. Hooves? Did you change name because of your side job as the protagonist on that TV show Dr. Whooves?" Cranky asked.

"Yes, once I got home from my audition and got the lead, the new got back to Ponyville and nopony would call me by proper name, so I got my name changed. I wanted it to be "Whooves" with a w, but the name was copyright, so I settled for "Hooves" without a w, on the basis that they sounded  the same." Dr. Hooves explained.

"Great, now Hooves, do you feel the HEV suit need guns or not?" Dr. Brown asked.

"Guns are fairly new technology, and many ponies aren't going to know how to use them. Maybe when this kind of weaponry is more common we add them to the suit, but for now, I feel it would be best to leave them out." Dr. Hooves replied.

"Alright, the guns come off, at least until ponies are more familiar with them." Cranky said.

"Oh, I beg to differ." I cut in.

The three scientist turned at looked over at me.

"An intruder!" Dr. Brown exclaimed.

Dr. Hooves pointed the guns at Pitch and I. Pitch got his horn ready.

"Alrighty, listen, just hand over the suit, and nopony gets hurt." I replied.

"Why should we?" Hooves asked.

Pitch, somehow reading my mind, took a shot at him, knocking him out, along with the other two. I walked over to Hooves and took the suit off him. Putting it on suit, I had Pitch make a few adjustment, including making holes for my wings, and changing the color scheme to green and yellow. I walked over to the window and looked at my reflection.

Third Person POV

To say Lightning Dust was happy was an understatement. She was BEYOND happy, so much she laughed. Manically.

"Um, Dust?" Pitch asked

Dust looked over at the unicorn.

"My name isn't Lightning Dust anymore. My name is...Takedown."

"Okay, so now what do we do?" Perfect Pitch asked.

"We? You've served your purpose Pitch." Takedown said pointing her guns at the stallion.

"WAIT! I'm not worth the kill, please spare me!" Pitch cried.

Takedown stopped an considered.

"Your right Pitch, the only blood I want on my hooves is Rainbow Dash's. Well, I suppose a jail cell will suit you fine." Lightning Dust said, glancing over at a spool of wire sitting on a nearby table for some  strange reason.
