Force, Torque and Fulcrum

by Zap Apple Smash
Five earth ponies hatch a plan to get leverage on an ambitious private security contractor who seeks to blackmail an innocent stallion for his own ends. Because sometimes honest ponies make the best thieves.

Heavy Roller is a stallion satisfied with his life as a single father of Scootaloo, one of the most energetic pegasus fillies in Ponyville.

But when a strong-arming businesspony named Stone Wall tries to force him to work for him by threatening to ruin his dead wife's reputation and use Heavy's own checkered past to get him declared an unfit parent, what can one pony do to keep his daughter?

Lucky for him a certain school teacher with a checkered past of her own and some of her friends might just have the talents to help him:

Cheerilee - Elementary school teacher, ex-party mare and partially reformed retrieval expert.

Big Macintosh - Full-time farmer, part-time bounty hunter and combat specialist.

Filthy Rich - Prominent Ponyville business stallion skilled in negotiation and manipulation.

Notary - Former personal assistant to a corrupt Canterlot noble and unparalleled information broker.

Together they will head down to Manehatten and just maybe they can get the one thing Heavy needs to get the Stone off his back:

Leverage.
