The Bounty of Evil

The Mane Six have finally arrived to The Steel Mill and see all of Sionis's goons guarding the place, they then hear Sionis's thugs having a Conversation at the front entrance.

"What you think they're doing in there?" one of sionis’s men asked

“Why do you want to know?”

“Hey I’m just curious.”

“Oh really and what makes YOU so curious about it?”

“You don’t think she’ll kill him do you.”

“Buddy it’s Sionis...What do you think?”

"Well whatever she’s doin', that dragon deserves it." One of sionis’s men Told Them.

“Damn man thats cold, its just a kid.”

“I know, thats what makes it even more funny.”

"Heh. Yeah. I wouldn't mind taking a few whacks at that little drake myself." One of Sionis Men chuckled.

"Me neither." One of sionis Men told them.

"Ain't that the story of our lives?" One of sionis men Asked them.

After Hearing This, Rainbow Dash has had enough of this, She and the mane six took down the Guards.

“Well if this is her main base of operations I’m guessing that this place will be heavily guarded”

Twilight said to the girls as they then they went inside to The Steel Mill, where they see some of sionis’ men are having a conversation…

“Guys, why are we still doing here? it's still midnight.” Sionis’s men asked to the guys.

“She said she wants us to guard this place against the mane six when they get here, that's what i've heard."

“Great… sounds like we’ll be here all night.”

“O come on guys think about...If we kill them we get the prize money.”

“Hey your right. Alright then we’ll wait and when they do come…. we’ll knock them out, break their horns and rip their wings off!”

“........”

“What?”

“Dude are you drunk?”

“......Yeah.”

“I knew it.”

The mane six shudder to what they said, and they just went to sneak attack on the unaccepting thugs, they then head off to sionis's Office, while more of sionis's men are talking.

"Listen up morons! Sionis ordered us to guard this hallway to her office so we got the turrets up and running so there is now way they are getting passed us!”

"That's what they think..." whispered rainbow dash

"How do you know it works?"

"Trust me, it works."

“You sure about that because I don't want these things turning on us.”

“Believe me the only thing they will be shooting at are those six brats.”

Twilight then uses her magic to remove the screws of the vent and removed it out of the way, so they can crawl inside to sionis's office. While they reached sionis's office, they see five of sionis's men inside guarding.

"I dont like this.” One of the thugs said as he sounded worried.

“Oh come on man its just six little girls. Why are you so scared of them?”

“It’s not them I’m scared of. It’s that Copperhead that I’m worried about.”

“Yea she gives me the bucking creeps. I hate changelings.”

“Me too.”

“At least she isn’t with us.”

“Guess that’s true..”

Then unknowingly to them, The Mane Six came and did a Surprise attack on the Guards with Rainbow Dash dive attacking the first guard.

"There they are!" one of sionis's men shouted

“Get them!”

The Mane Six then attack them with Applejack using her hind legs to kick the guard, Rarity and Twilight, Using Their Magic to Blind the Guards and Give Pinkie a Chance to Punch the Guard, and While The Guard is about to attack Fluttershy, She covered in her hoofs and mane, but that's when the guard tripped on her and got knocked unconscious.

"Girls, I need to hack the computer, so i can find some information about Sionis.” Twilight asked to the girls.

“Pfft! yeah, as if you would need to know”

Then Twilight ignored Rainbow Dash as she just started hacking the computer as it projected a big screen to them as they took a look at sionis’s profile:

Name: Sionis

Gender: Female

Age:  18

Former Student of Princess Celestia

"Well this is interesting, Sionis is a Former Student of Princess Celestia….What do you have to say about that egghead…...Egghead.” Dash turned to twilight as she had her back turned away from them as it looked like she was holding what looked like a photo.

“Twilight, are you okay?” Dash asked as the rest of them got closer to her only to hear her sniffling.

“Twilight, what is it?” Rarity asked in a worried tone as Twilight turned back towards with tears in her eyes as she revealed to them the photo she was holding, they only needed to take one look for all of them to gasp…

“Twi.. what is this?” Applejack asked to Twilight.

“It’s...it’s... it’s a picture of me and Sionis as fillies.” Twilight sniffled as if she was about to cry… “But I remember this….. Is this what she wants me to remember?”

“So this is just about you then, we are in this mess because of you.” Dash said

“No hold on th-”

“NO Applejack! Not this time….We have all of our lives threaten just because she knows Sionis but doesn't want to admit it, So tell us Twilight…and don’t you lie about this...WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON!”

“I...I don’t-” and at that moment, Twilight was hit by a wave of memories as she collapsed to the floor and started to remember.

Eight years earlier

It was an average day in Canterlot for Twilight as she always got up in the morning and went to her school for her special teaching with Celestia. Her parents would walk her to the castle, she would then give her parents a big hug and a kiss and go inside. As she was walking in the hallways for her teaching with the princess she happened to notice a white filly was sitting by herself in front of Celestia’s chambers, she went over there to greet her.

“Hi there are you here to see Princess Celestia.”

“Ummm...Yes.”

“Oh well hey there, my name is Twilight, what's yours?" Twilight asked the filly.

"M-m-my name is Sionis" she replied quietly to twilight.

"What was that?” twilight asked her.

"M-m-my name is Sionis" she replied again quietly to twilight.

“I didn’t catch that.” twilight told to Sionis.

“My name is Sionis“ Sionis replied with a squeak and is about to cry...

“Hey, don’t cry I just wanted to know your name?” twilight said as she is trying not to let Sionis cry... then princess celestia came calmed Sionis down...

“I see that you met one of my new students, Sionis, she’s gonna be studying with you” Princess Celestia told her student twilight...

“So that's your name, Sionis...That's a pretty name."

“R-Really?”

"Yup I wish my name was as cool as yours."

"Thanks." sionis said as she formed a small smile.

“Twilight would you mind giving Sionis a bit of a tour around the castle so she can get to know the place.” Celestia asked.

“Sure!” Twilight then gives Sionis a tour around the castle of Canterlot…

“Um….Twilight.” Sionis peeped out.

“Yea.”

“I’m sorry.”

“For what.”

“For crying like a baby.”

“Oh don't worry about it...I cry when my brother takes my doll. So don't worry about it alright.”

“Okay…...Thanks”

“You’re welcome”

After that they went through the castle and from that moment a friendship was made that would one day become more…..Well almost.

Present

Then After The Flashback was finished, she got up to her hoofs and rubbed her head.

“Twilight are you alright.” Pinkie asked as AJ helped her up.

“Yea I think so.” Twilight said as Dash was not staring daggers but more of a worried look.

“Listen….I’m sorry for yelling at you and saying that this is your fault.”

“Its okay…..I just need to find Spike and Sionis.”

“Twilight, are you sure that’s a good idea?”

“Yes, I'm sure…We need to get to the bottom of this.”

“Alright then, let’s get going then.”

Then they went back down and attempts to try to find them as they went to the loading bay depot, but there was a shadow that came and went as a flash…

"What was that?" Rainbow Dash asked

"I don't know but something tells me that we should be on guard." Then they went inside the warehouse to see Sionis's men working with the crane trying to shut it down...

"We need to find a way inside that room" Rainbow Dash Told to her friends.

"But we need a plan, Rainbow" Applejack Said

While they're talking, Sionis's men are talking while one is messing with the crane controls and the other is angry at him.

"C'mon, Why are you messing with the crane, She said we're suppose to be locking this place down"

"Okay, okay, let me shut it down." and then he shut the crane down.

"Why do we gotta lock this place down anyway? Black Mask expecting the cops or the royal guards?" One of Black Mask's Thugs questioning the whole thing.

"I heard it ain't the cops nor the royal guards she's worrying about, it's Twilight Sparkle."

Rainbow Dash Glared Angrily at Twilight, while She Nervously Stepped back.

"Twilight Sparkle, This Mare for real?" He asked as if that guy's serious.

"Well the boss seems to think so." then one of Sionis's men shrugged and replied.

"Yah, well the boss also thinks red and purple are an acceptable color combo."

"What are you trying to say?"

"I’m saying that red is the new black."

“What.”

“Never mind..Just get back to work!”

The mane six decided to just attack Sionis's Men, and then they went to have a multi-pony rumble of The Mane Six against Sionis's Men, with Rainbow Dash taking one of the men down, applejack kicked that man in the head, rarity did a lady-like kick at two of Sionis's Men, twilight used her magic to break Sionis's Men's legs, and Fluttershy used the stare at the big guy to distract him... and then pinkie pie knocked him out cold.

"Alright, ya'll, let's break this there wall." Applejack replied.

"Twilight, care to do the honors darling?" Rarity asked Twilight to turn on the crane so they can break the wall.

Twilight then turn on the crane and they see that the crane came to the wall and it crashed but not a whole lot.

"Well, that was lame..." Pinkie Pie Bluntly Replied to that Crane hitting the wall weakly.

"BOO! Come on, give it a little more effort Twilight, I'll show you how it's really done..." Rainbow Dash then flied to the Crane and is about to smash the wall…

"WAIT, RAINBOW, DON'T DO IT, NO, NO, NO!!" Rainbow's Friends tried to reason with her, but her ignorance must be working as she ignored her protests and she pushed the crane and smashed the wall.

"Well... that worked" Rarity said as she brushed off the dust from the wall…

"Now that's more like it" Rainbow smugly replied to the way of her work... until

they hear chuckling as the same shadow flies off, as they went for the elevator, they heard a voice...

"GET THEM OUT OF ME! HELP! NO! OH, CELESTIA! PLEASE NO! GET OUT! GET OUT! GET AH!" one of sionis's men Screams as the Elevator door opens while they hear the same sick laugh.

"Who did this to you?" Twilight asked as the Mane Six sees the body of one of sionis's Men in horrific and scarred looks, then while the Elevator starts moving down, Twilight then used her magic to see what happened to him.

"No signs of assault... hmm... His systems have been shut down from acute toxicity, He's been poisoned." Twilight told the girls about his diagnostics.

"Poisoned? B-B-But who poison one of Sionis's Men?" Fluttershy asked Sacredly Twilight about this.

"I don't know, but we're gonna find out." Twilight said to Fluttershy as she attempts to calm her down as the elevator came to a complete stop.

"He just lost it. Started clawing' at his own skin and then he just ran into the elevator." As one of Sionis's men talked about one of them who got poisoned.

"Maybe we should call for backup" one of Sionis's men suggested.

"What, so we can get laughed at because we can't handle our jobs? HELL, NO!" As one of Sionis's men talked that it would be a bad idea to do that.

The mane six quietly came inside the facility maintenance.

"I swear it was some kind of magic or somethin'." one of Sionis's men asked them.

"We ain't gonna make it out of here. None of us are." one of Sionis's men said worriedly and sacredly.

Rainbow Dash attempts to sneak up to one of Sionis's men.

"Hey, something doesn't feel right here. It's like we're being watched or something."

“You got that right!” then Rainbow Dash Took one of Sionis's men down in a instant, while The Mane Six Attacked Sionis's Men and tooked them down, they then continued on with their rescue mission, when they see a locked door, but twilight used her magic to unlocked the door and they went inside the lab to see some guards waiting for the mane six to come out, the mane six then hide.

"They're holding spike in here somewhere" Twilight told to the girls.

"Let's hope Spike is here or else I'll Give Copperhead & Sionis a piece of my mind" Rainbow Dash Cracked her hoofs and neck.

"Easy there, rainbow, we'll find him." Applejack told to her hoping that she doesn't want rainbow dash to get fed up.

"Now we just need to find where he is." Twilight suggested to the girls.

"Relax, I can fly remember?" Rainbow Smugly asked them as if they forgot about rainbow dash's wings.

"But they got laser sights, and they can see you with them" Twilight Argued Back to her.

"Oh Fine! We'll Use Your Magic!" Rainbow Dash Deadpanned argued to twilight and and attempts to accept twilight's suggestion.

"Thank you." Twilight then used her magic to see where Spike is and shockingly, She Found him.

"I Think I Just found Spike." Twilight Told the girls.

"Where?" Fluttershy asked her.

"There." Twilight then pointed her hoof to where spike is.

"Now we just gotta get rid of these guards" Applejack Said to the girls.

"I got this." Rainbow Dash said as she then silently attacks the guards without the guards noticing.

They then head inside the place where they're holding him...only to realize that Spike isn't even being held hostage is he was reading a comic book.
