“What should we do first?” Electro asked.

“Well, I say we take down Vinyl Scratch first…that mare needs to learn her lesson” was DnB’s answer.

“We shouldn't be too hard on Vinyl,” Trance replied. “There are a lot of other artists that would be easier to dethrone.

“Hey…I hear Octavia Melody is a good target,” Glitch Hop chimed in. “She doesn't do EDM, but classical is still a bit mainstream around here…”

“Classical could kind of be considered EDM in our group” Hard Dance said, before yelling up to the sky “Hey EDM! Get down here!”

EDM descended from the cloud, with Monstercat following. “What’s up?” EDM asked.

“We have a job for you too” Drumstep replied. “We need you to make a few classical pieces that will blow Octavia Melody and the Ponyville Symphony Orchestra off the list of dethrone targets. It’ll be a turkey shoot.”

“I’m on it.” EDM then flew off into the distance, with multiple glowing white instruments floating around him.

Monstercat was left to handle the rest of the group. “So…what’s the plan?” he asked.

“We’re going to tackle some of the smaller artists first. Then we can try to get Vinyl” Dubstep explained.

“Should we have the singles come too?” House asked. “Nobody-” he cut himself off. “Nopony has heard from them yet. They might just be the ones to get this started.”

“Good thinking,” Monstercat replied. With that he snapped his fingers and six more cats appeared.

These cats were even smaller than the EDM sub-genres. Two were Drumstep’s color, two more were Glitch Hop’s color, one was Dubstep’s color, and one was EDM’s color.

The first up was a drumstep cat. He had a jetpack with two metal wings attached to it on his back, always left running. No matter what, he was ready to fly, hence his name being Flight.

The next was another drumstep cat, who had feathered wings on his back. Unlike Flight’s, these wings didn’t come off. This cat could also use them to fly. He was known as Halcyon.

After Halcyon was a glitch hop cat. This one had a tux on, with a distinct green tie. He was also holding a saxophone, and his four sharp teeth were gone. He was known as Toothless Hawkins, and he commanded the one and only robot jazz band.

The next one looked incredibly fierce. He was another glitch hop cat, and his teeth glinted in any light source seen. He also held two sharp knives in his hands, which he would be completely merciless with in combat. He was known as Razor Sharp, or just “Razor” for short.

The only dubstep cat in the single group was next. He had a distinct purple haze around him, and he usually sat cross-legged, levitated off the ground. He was also best friends with Trance, and they were meant for each other with his name being Calm Down.

The last cat was an EDM cat, and he possessed powers that cannot be imagined by anyone. The only thing special about his appearance was that his headphones had a microphone, but behind that was a soul that could not be broken. He was known only as Forever.

These six cats represented the best music that was heard back in the human world, and their powers would be a great help to Operation: Dethrone II. Toothless Hawkins was the first to speak, asking “What’s the situation?”

Monstercat answered “You all know how to perform music other than your own, right?”

“Of course!” Razor shouted, twirling his two blades.

“Good” was Monstercat’s reply. He then casted a spell, and before anypony knew it each cat had a bag of bits in their hands.

“Use these to rent out whatever concert halls you can perform in. We have 15 days until the mission begins, so you need to get moving fast. Got it?”

“Yeah!” all the other cats replied at once. The money was put into invisible inventories, and all of the felines dashed off in different directions. As Monstercat watched them run off, he said “Now to organize a tour of my own…” Monstercat pulled a map of Equestria out of his inventory, with a path drawn over it in black marker. “Perfect” he said under his breath after thoroughly analyzing the path.
