Bat Colt, Imagine Comet, and Tom Folk: Your triple life

You walk into town hall. The secretary looks up from her work and looks back down calmly. You wait a moment, then she looks back up scared. She pulls out a radio communicator. "Security!" She calls. You had hoped that you could just give her the ransom note and explain. You run out the door and fly in an open second door window. You see the mayor there. It is obviously the mayor because she has a desk top name card that says Mayor Mare. She is surprised by your entrance, so you quickly explain.

"I'm BatColt, and there has been a threat made against town hall. Here is the ransom note I discovered at the boutique." The Mayor quickly reads over it. "I will handle the villain. If you would like, I will keep in contact via radio. I'll set your radio to the correct frequency." You do. "I will tell you if I need back up. Go ahead and have a bomb squad on speed dial, as well as the prison. I'll send word when I have the Prankster."

"I don't mean to be rude, but that would be if you catch him. Who are you anyhow?" Asked the Mayor.

"I'm BatColt!" And with that you do a back flip out the window. You then glide to the ground after turning right side up. You sneak by the houses to the Botique. You then try and think of what to do for the next several ours. It was only 10:00. You decide to find somewhere to sleep. You tell Spike.

"We can't go back to the Library. Two ways we could get caught. Also, we need to stay in costume to be ready." Says Spike.

"Also, not here. The Prankster will be here guarding the place."

"How about the mechanics shop?"

"Some pony might see us."

"How about Sugar Cube Corner? I could hide you two there! I'll wake you up at 12:30!" The pink pony from earlier suggested. Pinkie pie, as Spike told you when explaining the Elements of Harmony.

"Pinkie, were you here the whole time?" You ask.

"Well, duh. I want to save Rarity, too. By the way, nice costume Spike. You too pony from earlier. I never got your name."

"I must hide my identity, even from you. Sorry, but it'll save your life."

"It's okay, I know about secret identities. I was Mare Do Well. Well, one Mare Do Well. There were four."

"Anyway, can you really hide us at sugarcube corner?" Asked Spike

"Sure! I'll feed you, too, if you'd like."

"Great! Thank you Pinkie! I don't know how to repay you." You say.

"Hey, what're friends for?" You all head back to sugar cube corner. She lets you use her bed, and Spike use a spare basket. She went and slept in the baby room. You had a pleasent dream. Sadly, you can't remember it when you wake up. Pinkie woke you up at 12:00.

"Pinkie, you said 12:30." You say gently, not to hurt her feelings.

"I know, but I wanted to ask you something." She says.

"Okay, shoot."

"Do you think I'm pretty?"

"Yes, why?"

"Because I just now realized that I'm friends with everypony in town, but not a single one is semi interested in me."

"Pinkie, that can't be true. You're pretty, kind, outward, very jumpy."

"But because of the last one, nopony would consider me in anyway romantic."

"There has to be somepony."

"Would you consider kissing me and doing romantic stuff with me, in theory."

"I would, but I don't feel that way about you. Some pony has to, though."

"That's just it, nopony feels that way about me."

"I'm sure they do, but maybe they're to shy to say so."

"Your right! Some pony must like me and be too shy to say so! Thank you sooooo much!" You hadn't noticed earlier, but her hair had been down and straight. It was now poofy and curly like it used to.

"Glad I could-" you get cut short by Pinkie pulling your face to hers and kissing you. It was quick, but it felt great. "-help." You quickly fall back asleep. A half hour later, you wake up. This time it's Spike.

"Let's get something real quick to eat before we leave." He says. Pinkie had laid out two cupcakes for you. You took the red velvet, Spike took the strawberry. You two relaxed for a bit, then stretched. Before you knew it, it was 12:45. You and Spike sneak to the Botique. Spike grapples to the roof, you fly. A short time later, you see a white pony with a green mane with a white horn. It wore a purple tux with a flower in one pocket. He had two ponies tied together in a cart. One was a white mare with oddly perfectly styled amethyst mane. The other was a white foal pink and light purple mane. They were both terrified. The Prankster had a remote with a large red button on it. Also in the cart was an oversized mallet and a gun. When he gets to he front of the Botique, you ready you Batarang. You had been practicing earlier. You fin it is easier to aim with your hoof than your mechanical horn. You make sure that it will slice the remote in half, or at least not hit the button when it gets knocked from his hand. You throwing and hope for the best. It knocks the remote clear from the Prankster's grasp. It breaks when it hits the ground you leap with your hind leg aimed for his head. He looks up just in time to see you kick him. He is knocked to the side. You quickly get another batarang and cut the ropes holding the ponies together.

"Thank you, mysterious bat pony!" Says Sweetie Belle. She runs inside. Rarity looks at you. "Who are you?"

"I'm BatColt. I'm here to help you. Run inside and watch the young mare. Dragon wing and I have this handled." As if on cue, Spike landed next to you.

"Spike? What are you doing? You could get hurt!" Rarity says.

"I told you the disguise wouldn't work for you." You tell him. "He was so upset about your disappearance that he insisted on helping save you." You then feel a huge pain in your skull. You fall over and notice that the Prankster was back up. He is about to hit Spike when Rarity kicks him with her hind legs so hard he dents the tree he crashes into. You use your artificial magic and quickly throw a batarang at him. It knocks his hooves from under him and his head hits the ground. You get up and touch your head. You quickly pull away when you feel the pain. Your head is pulsing, but most of the pain is only felt when you touch it. Rarity quickly pulls Spike inside. The both watch at a window. Sweetie Belle is at the other window, closer to you. The prankster gets up and looks right at you.

"Who is this Bat Freak? You can't stop my plans. I can still kill Rarity once you're dead! The bombs are on a timer to go off in an hour. Meanwhile, I can have fun killing you and your little Dragon. The other ponies will be a snap!" He speaks. His voice was obviously being faked. He tried to sound scratchy and evil, but you could tell that it used to be sophisticated. You can see that the green is a dye and that his mane used to be blonde. He runs at you magically levitating the mallet. You leap and fly over him, getting out a net grenade. You toss it at him and he is caught in the net. His flower squits out acid, and he escapes.

"Mayor, the bomb is in the basement of each building. We have an hour. Hurry!" You quickly speak into the radio. The pony gasps as he notices your wings and horn. Seeing my blue coat, he then asks a question that reveals too much.

"Is that you, auntie Luna?" He asks. "No matter who you are, you will not stop me from the task at hand!" You knew Luna and Celestia were the princesses of night and day. Spike mentioned them in the Elements of Harmony briefing.

"BlueBlood?!?" Rarity yelled from the window.

"Yes, it is I, Prince BlueBlood. You rejecting me drove me to insanity! So many mares saying I was self centered, selfish, and ungentlemanlike. I lost it. Now, I'll destroy you, and your precious-" you didnt let him finish. You had flown down to attack and started pounding him with punches. He had tried to kill people over his own behavior! You couldn't stand this. His nose began to bleed and he has a black eye. You figure he'll be uncontious for a while. You begin to talk via radio again.

"I have the Prankster. I'll bring him by town hall." You then throw a net grenade and he is trapped in a net. "No, I'm not Luna." You say mostly to yourself. You fly him to the town hall where the Mayor and many Police are standing. You take the net up to them and drop it there. "You may want to call and tell Luna and Celestia their nephew tried to murder you all and Rarity and Sweetie Belle. I'll be off." With that, you rush to Rarity's house. Sweetie Belle and Spike were asleep on the floor. Rarity was levitating Sweetie Belle up stairs to her room. You are about to leave with Spike when Rarity notices.

"Are you taking him to the Library? I think Spike would get in a lot of trouble if she knew he was out here. Leave him here. I'll say the Prankster came and got him in the night and you saved him, Sweetie Belle, and I. Thank you, by the way. How can I repay you." She said. She deductively batted her eyes.

"No thanks nessicary. I did it for justice, not rewards." You respond. She walks over to pick up Spike. She takes him to a her room and sets him in her chair. When you guard is down, she quickly grabs your head and pulls it to hers. She kisses you, her tongue dancing on yours. You return the kiss and begin to gently stroke her mane. She lays down on the floor, as do you. You feel her warm coat next to yours. It feels wonderful. She slowly begins to kiss slower, until she, too, falls asleep. You unlock your lips and levitate her to her room. You wake up Spike, and you too sneak out. You and he get home and in bed at 1:30. You are about to take off your costume when it hits you. Still, is the basement of Raritys Botique, was a ticking time bomb.
