Chapters Ponyville, the City of Progress, once a small quiet community was now a bustling city that grew with each passing day. Under a new act passed by Princess Celestia, Luna, Cadence and Twilight, a new type of law enforcement ponies called Enforcers were created, these Enforcers job was to maintain the peace and serenity in the large cities as well as capturing any criminals that emerged in the new day and age. Part of the cities growth had been thanks to Sweet Apple Acres and another part was from a war that had happened, it had been many years since that war though and peace was reigning again.
It was a quiet day in Ponyville as the Enforcers made their through their shifts as they did day in and day out, today was no exception or so they thought. The cackling was heard throughout the city and ponies started running around screaming that they were told to panic, doing their jobs the Enforcers slowly regained peace over the city until they saw the message spray-painted in bright pink on the wall of the town hall.
"Everypony, panic!"
The Enforcers quickly took control of the area searching for the criminal but had no luck as the voice faded away, they hoped it would be a one off event but deep down they knew the new criminal would be back but they would be waiting for them, whoever they were.
Over the next few days more graffiti was found saying the same thing with the cackling not far behind. Citizens were starting to become unsettled as each time they went out they had more and more chance of bumping into the criminal. After a week of these taunts reports started coming in. Sighting of a white pony with a blue mane and pink eyes, who was always carrying weapons and laughing when she was seen. Slowly the Enforcers started to gather information on this new criminal and after two weeks of this the Ponyville Enforcers had decided that they had, had enough, so they sent out a request for help, a request that got given to me, I mean after all I am the best Enforcer there is in Equestria.
My name is Vi and this is about me and how I tried to take on the Loose Cannon who gained the nickname of Jinx.
My board was covered with the little information I had about Jinx as well as a few blurred photos of her. Sighing I sat at my desk and rubbed my temples, this was impossible, how could somepony as loud and as obnoxious as her just disappear without a trace, then reappear at will to cause more chaos. What's more is that she loves to play games, especially with me. Facing the board again I saw her latest message to me, a time, date and location, daring me to catch her when she attacks the Royal Bank of Equestria, but I will be waiting for her, and will take her down if it's the last thing I do so this city can rest peacefully once again.

“Fishbones? Check, Pow Pow? Check, Zap? check.” The sing song voice said as she checked all her weapons ready for her showdown with Vi, the Enforcer of Equestria and her younger long lost sister, but Vi didn't know that of course, all she knew was she had a sister. Blowing a tuft of mane from her face Jinx sat down and started recording some more of her song , a present to be left for Vi in her office, one she knew Vi would listen to and be more determined to catch her. Sighing Jinx stood up grabbing Pow-Pow and started firing off dozens upon dozens of rounds to help ease her boredom. That was Jinx's main problem she got bored too easily and Ponyville was the perfect place to get a laugh and not be bored, especially after Vi started chasing her down.
As the clock struck 7pm a pony could be seen jumping from building to building towards the Equestrian Royal Bank with her plan already set in motion, she knew Vi would be there waiting for her and all she had to do was let Vi chase her and blow the building on her way out adding to the insult of not been caught all the gold would still be there.
**********
As the last of the ponies filed out of the bank for the day, Vi sat smiling and watching the entrance, this was the night that she would catch the criminal Jinx without a hitch in her plan. Jinx would turn up and set off some sleeping gas then Vi would arrest her so she could be charged for her crimes against the city and Equestria. At that moment the clock stuck 7pm and the bank closed for the night. Only half an hour until would arrive and another 15 minutes on top of that to apprehend her.
Vi was ready for this and so was Jinx, only time would tell as to who the victor would be though.
"Looks like you turned up after all and here I was thinking I was going to be bored out of my mind until I triggered the alarm." Jinx said teasing Vi.
"Hold it right there Criminal Scum or I'll shoot." Vi spat back hoping to get Jinx to give up.
With a grim smile Jinx replied to her law enforcement sister "You're starting to bore me."
"You're Crazy!" Vi said back.
Laughing Jinx responded "You think I'm crazy? You should see my sister!"
"You have a sister?" Vi asked back confused.
"Whatever, let's just start shooting!" Jinx said before running off into the bank to start the chase of a century, one that would ultimately change one of the sisters lives forever.

P.o.V might change during the story
More information about the war/sisters will be added later on
For those who don't play LOL (League of Legends) Vi (pronounced Vye) and Jinx are both characters from that.

I was running after her as fast as I could, explosions were going on all around me, curse that Jinx and her weapons, if it hadn’t been for the war she wouldn’t have them.
Everything was peaceful in Equestria, Princess Twilight Sparkle had just been crowned and everypony was happy and excited about the upcoming Equestria Games to be held in the Crystal Empire.
Not everypony was happy though, some sought power, others sought fame and fortune and together they created new technology, technology that everypony would want leading to an industrial revolution making Equestria boom into a new age, but this was all part of their plan.
Shortly after the industrial revolution, the group of ponies who formed it revealed their true form and intentions as changelings working with the griffon empire to start a war and bring Equestria to its knees.
The war sought the invention of guns and other firearms, which would keep been developed after the war had ended. The war lasted for a good two years before the Elements of Harmony were used to take down the Griffon and Changeling leaders.
Peace reigned once more. The Enforcers were created and I was born ten years later.
Huffing and puffing I skidded to a halt in front of a mirror after losing her somewhere in this forsaken bank. Stopping I examined my reflection, I was a mid height solidly built pony with a pink mane and blue eyes with a light cashmere coat. I snapped out my state as I heard “You gonna chase me, fat hooves?" before Jinx took of running again with me close at her heels.
I chased her for what felt like hours all through the bank, smashing through walls with constant explosions, every now and then I would have to dive for cover as she would suddenly turn around and whip out her minigun and start shooting at me. Eventually Jinx got cornered in the vault with me at it’s entrance but instead of surrendering she just started cackling lifting her rocket launcher up and fired it.
When I woke up the dust was only just settling, she had brought down half the building if not more and had gotten away. Again. To add more to the insult of getting away she had not taken a single bit from the bank. Getting up, I heard her laughing and taunting me with her sing song voice, groaning I made my way outside when a hexplosion went off taking down parts of the six largest buildings that were in the city.
Making my way through the chaos that was now Ponyville I stopped by my office only to find a recording on my desk, without a doubt I knew who it was from. I put it on and listed to it only to be taunted through the song, time and time again. Ponyville was her playground and I was the only one who could stop her but that would mean I have to step up my game.
The news spread quickly of my failure no doubt who helped to do that but it eventually reached the ears of the Royal Princesses. Two days after the incident at the bank I received a letter from Princess Celestia saying she wanted to meet with me and to discuss what had happened. Three days from the bank incident and I was on long term suspension without pay. Been forced into unpaid suspension made me even more determined to catch Jinx.
Jinx soon spread chaos all over Ponyville while all the time always taunting me to come and play, to catch her if I could. She knew I was suspended, so why did she still want me to play the game and that kept eating at my conscience, it just didn’t add up. Why was it me she wanted to chase her when anypony would clearly be more suited to the job than me.
Hearing my letter box shut I snapped out of my thought and went and fetched the mail and low and behold another recording for me. Sighing I put it on wondering what she could want from me this time and as the song started I was pulled into my train of thoughts, this menace caused citywide chaos and lost me my job, now wanted to be my friend. Nothing added up, nothing made sense. Curse that Celestia damned loose cannon.
She still doesn’t get it, how can she not realise we’re related yet? I asked aloud talking to myself as I placed my weapons away for the night. It’s not like I wasn’t been obvious about, or maybe she just didn’t remember because I was the older sister. Sighing I sat down on my mattress and got lost in my memories.
Our mother had died during childbirth and our father had only survived till we were old enough to start school, then the accident happened, a piano fell and hit our dad as he dived to push Vi out of the way, she still got hit on the head with some debris, causing her to enter a coma for a week, when she woke she had no memory of who I was or what had happened, all she knew was her own name.
After the accident we got placed in an orphanage but I ran away because I got hit repeatedly for asking for my daddy. Good four-shoes Vi got adopted a day later and we never saw each other again. Well not until recently.
Sighing I made my way to the kitchen and poured myself a drink and looked at the photo on the fridge, it was when we still young and part of a happy family with dad still alive. If only that bucking mare wasn’t so clumsy nothing would have happened and we would still be a happy family. Looking up at my reflection in the window I knew what had to be done, I had to kill that bucking mare and reunite our family, I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face if I tried.
All good things come to an end
Two years later and the city was in complete and utter ruins. Jinx had destroyed what was once a great and beautiful city, now it was only me and her left. Over the course of the two years she had left many notes and a piece of a photo but gave the rest to me, always taunting, always one step ahead. What did she know that I didn’t? Why was she obsessed with taunting me?
Extract from Vi’s diary, xx64
*****
I have been staking the city for weeks on end now and I have finally found where she has been hiding, the old clock tower, right at the top about the clock faces, in the old time keepers room. Somehow I think she knows but doesn’t care, however tonight I make my move, tonight I capture Jinx and restore my honour and this now hell hole of a town to its former glory.
A few hours later and I found myself moving towards the clock tower as quietly as I could, little to my knowledge did I know I was been watched by Jinx. As I climbed the tower I got more and more anxious, I was about to catch the most wanted criminal in Equestrian history. Stopping as I reached the top to admire the view quickly I saw it… the door resting between me and Jinx, or so I thought.
As I stepped through the door the first thing I noticed was it was quiet, too quiet. Making my way through the building I stopped in front of her fridge and then I saw it, the piece of the photo she sent me, it was from this photo but I couldn’t believe my eyes I was in the photo. How was I in this photo, it had to be as old as me, and there next to me was Jinx, smiling and holding my hoof and behind us a stallion in front of a building.
“Hello sister”
I spun around as Jinx opened her mouth and greeted me.
“How? Why not tell me? Why destroy the city?” I asked in response
“How? Our parents bucked. Why not tell you? This was more fun. Why destroy the city? That was to get your attention” Jinx answered all my questions and giggled and walked towards me.
“Mum died during childbirth and dad raised us on his own. There was an accident a few days after the photo was taken, something fell out of a cart flying over head and was going to hit you but dad dived pushing you out of the way. Unfortunately the object hit him and he died instantly, however some of the rubble hit you and you were hospitalised with amnesia. A few days later you could only remember your own name. After that you were adopted but I was left to fend for myself. I eventually found you again but by that time you were a goody four shoes” Jinx finished her story and sat in front of me.
“That was well a ummm interesting story” I stammered as I approached her with the hoof cuffs.
“Don’t worry, I’m not going to run or fight now I know you know the truth” Jinx said as she looked at me with a sad look in her eyes “I admit defeat and accept my punishment”
Looking down at her I felt my stomach pang “Damnit Jinx I hate to do this now but you have to pay” I said as I hoof cuffed her.
“It’s okay sis, maybe one day we can be together again” Jinx said as I led her away to the prison, where she would await trial.
“I’m sorry but I promise I’ll come and visit” I tried to convince her but she didn’t buy it but at least I did my job and arrested Jinx and shortly soon after Ponyville returned to it’s former glory.
***
The sirens rang loudly as the laughter faded, the guards would later report a cloaked figure with a pink mane help her escape but these reports were denied, all I know is I got called in to track her down. Tracking her down was the easy part, the planning for what we were going to do next, avenging our fathers death was going to be the hard part. Smiling we both picked up our guns and left the clock towers room where Jinx had told me the truth.
