Lockdown looked at the monitor as the Orange wirewolf with a scar on his right arm came up on the screen. Lockdown remembered him as a guy who worked for Diablo and his tone was impatient and hot headed. “You have Saddle Rager? Hand her over at once! That Power Pony will pay for what she did to Kul’as!”

“Speaking of payment Flame, I’d like mine now if your buddy would be so kind.”

A creature moved Flame to the side and came up on screen. It was biped like a human but dark blue and light blue with a tail with a hand on the end and a snout like a dog’s. Lockdown remembered reading about those things and remembered it was called Ahuizotl. When Ahuizotl spoke, his tone was polite and polar opposite to Flame’s.
“You’ll get your payment my bounty hunting acquaintance, provided Diablo Corps isn’t disappointed with your results.”
Ahuizotl was pushed out of the way by a pony with green hair that could automatically by recognized as the Mane-iac. “I wanna see her hulk out! Can I!? Can I!? Ha-ha CAN I?! Ahhahahahahahaha!!!!” Ahuizotl pushed her out of the way and cut the transmission off, leaving Lockdown with static. Lockdown only sighed and headed back to the cockpit.

“Why do I feel like I switched out Blitzwing for pony Blitzwing right about now?”

Diablo Corps paced back and forth inside of the shipping Warehouse looking up occasionally. “Where the Slag is he?” Blood and Fred were playing War on a box nearby and Fred enlightened his boss. “Maybe he walked out on ya.”
Diablo Corps stopped in his tracks and walked straight towards Fred and came a very close face-to-face with Fred who looked terrified at how fast he came over and how calm yet terrifying his tone was. “Tell me Fred, if you were Lockdown, what would you do if you walked out on me?”

“I-I’d see her to the highest bidder and head for somewhere you’d never find m-me.”

“Well, you wanna know what I’d do?” Fred mearly nodded his head know thinking inside how he’d regret it. “I’d send every bounty hunter I can get after you, have them drag you here and bring Saddle Rager, strip you of all your upgrades, let Saddle Rager loose on you than send her back to her friends, than take your parts and send every single piece separately across every galaxy in the known universe and hang your head on the front of the club to send a message to every guy who takes an important job from me: Don’t…Cross…Diablo…Corps.” The doors were heard opening as Lockdown was seen opening the doors.

“Speak of Unicron, and Unicron shall appear.”

“Nice analogy to you chaos god, you have it?”

Lockdown snapped his fingers and some drones set down a large Cryo pod with an Enraged Saddle Rager inside. “Used the P.O.K.E. I got from Swindle to level a Zoo to get her mad, didn’t know if you wanted her at maximum rage when delivered so I leveled a petting zoo for good measure.”

“Perfect-wait, you didn’t run into the other Power Ponies did you?”

“Yeah? Don’t see how their enemies have so much trouble with them.”

“They didn’t track you did they cause the whole plan will go to slag if they tracked you.”

“I threw them in a shuttle with on fuel and limited life support in orbit of a black hole. Took Zapp’s pendant, Radiance’s Bracelets, Mistress Marevelous’ lasso as Trophies, and put Filli-Second and Matterhorn in Suspended Animation tubes. I’m positive they couldn’t track me.”

“Are you crazy? If Saddle Rager breaks out, she’ll turn you into a pile of Slag that’ll need a GPS scanner to find his own exhaust port, find out I hired you than kill me! Than find a way to bring us back and kill us again and throw our bodies without the heads into the black hole, than put our heads on new bodies to kill us again. It’ll be a vicious cycle of revival killing and new bodies.”

“I put them in orbit of the black hole. I never kill unless it’s in the contract. A plumber ship passes by every 3 hours so those jokers might be the only things you’ll need to worry about. Lost my hook in the fight but luckily I have my old one.” Lockdown took out his old hook and placed the opposite end of the hook on the wound and the crack sealed up. “Now with that out of the way, about my payment…”

“On your hook you’ll find a small hatch.”

Lockdown looked on his hook and found the hatch and opened it. He reached inside with his hand and pulled out a stick. It was a staff at pony size but the size of a small stick to a Transformer. “The Arcane Rod, the most powerful magic using weapon created by that unicorn with the beard. It’ll be great if I come up against a magic user.” Lockdown tucked the Rod back into the hatch and turned to Diablo Corps. “Now what’s this grand scheme I’ve heard so much about?”

“Inside the hatch is a piece of paper, read it at an disclosed location, I want this to remain to where not even Celestia herself would be able to find out unless in person.”

Lockdown was confused at this but than Blood shot him square in his Rubsign causing it to burn and Lockdown to groan a little. He got the arrow off and looked to Diablo Corps.

“Sorry man, but I have a rule after someone does something for me. Shadowheart32, Cerulean Swirl, Voltsthevoltsvolts, blackmaskthebrony1256. It even applies to guys who aren’t even working for me, but one day they will. Dagayemer, JusSonic, VampDash, Phantom Fan 21, Darth Gonzo, Nocturis Comics, Lunar Metal, Defender2222, DarknessRising, the list goes on, but they’re my top 9. They’ll someday know the rule, that once you help Diablo Corps…” Lockdown looked at his Rubsign and now it had Diablo’s face engraved to fit the sign. “…You’re a Diablo Corps for life.”

“What makes you think I’ll work for you?”

“Work? No, no, no my friend. I like you, so now it is more of working with me.”

“What if I refuse that too?”

“Oh you can’t refuse. Any guy that tires to back out… let’s just say they’re in a better place, so the rest of them fall in line. Originally it was done by an acquaintance named Red Horn, but than he backed out. But the guys I sent for him got their Flanks whooped so I went and said good luck, than went our separate ways. But don’t underestimate me Lockdown, I will find you.”

“Ok Dr Monologue, I get it, don’t quit but I ain’t gonna be running around as an errand boy.”

“Oh you won’t. In fact after you read the paper and observe what I got planned, you can go back to your bounty hunter life-style, but you will still owe me, so when the time comes, I will expect you to deliver.”

“No sweat.” Lockdown transformed and drove out, the drones trailing behind him and leaving the Cryo tube. Diablo turned to Blood and Fred. “Fred, get a forklift, and take the Tube into the back. You drop that, just jump into the nearest hole you see. I figured you’d drop it and get killed, so I dug you a grave, but I had no clue where she’d smash you so I just dug a bunch of them.”

“Gee thanks for the confidence.”

“Blood check on Night Wolf. Is she still kicking?”

Blood walked to the cage on his left and was about to put his hand in when he stopped and grabbed a pipe off the ground, than stuck it into the cage where some scratching sound was heard, and he took it out, and the end that was inside was bitten clean off. Blood smirked than looked at the cage. “Ha! Not so tough now, are ya?” Blood stuck his tongue out to the cage victorious, only for the other pipe end to be thrown at him from inside the cage knocking Blood out cold.

Shadow Blot looked at the sky looking around for a flaming ball. He looked to Rodan, Dusk and Humdrum. “Any sign of them?”

Dusk looked behind Shadow Blot. “Ricky, did Timberwolf say they were gonna come down as a ball of fire?”

Ricky looked behind him and saw a ball of fire descend down though the clouds towards the ramp Ricky built. Ricky sidestepped as the pod zoomed doom the ramp and landed in the pile of crash pads at the end. Ricky looked up seeing a smaller ball fire come down than turned into Terry. He ran down the ramp but tripped and rolled down, putting out the fires on him. Masque walked to the shuttle and his hands into sledgehammers, and then slammed them into the door opening it letting the girls out. Radiance ran to Humdrum and hugged him.
“Oh Spikey it was horrible, some brute took Fluttershy and hurt us.” Rarity looked at her hooves and found her bracelets gone “and he took our items! Of all the worst possible things, this is the Worst! Possible! THING!” Rarity used her magic to summon her couch to which she fainted on it.
Terry got up and brushed himself off, smirking confidently. “You mean these items?”
Terry opened his chest hatch and Radiance’s bracelets, Mistress Marevelous’ lasso, and Zapp’s Pendent fell out. Marevelous was awestruck. “How did you get them back?”

“I didn’t. I just switched out your real stuff from the fake stuff. He stole the fake Equipment, this is the real deal.”

“But how did you switch it out?”

“When you guys stopped at the ship port, I snuck behind you and switched the lassos. When you guys stopped inside I managed to get the Pendent off Zapp.”

“What about Rarity?”

“I had Pinkie switch out the bracelets.” Terry twirled Zapp’s pendent in his hand not seeing the storm cloud form above. “It’s amazing how many things you can get done with the fastest mare on Equis as your friend.” A bolt of lightning struck Terry’s butt, he looked and saw it ignite on fire. Terry yelped in panic than began to run around, smoke form his butt trailing him. Ricky looked at Matterhorn who approached her asking him something. “Ricky, I managed to see a glimpse of the guy. Do you know about a robot with red eyes, a black and white face, and a sort of punk biker look?” the rest of the PP gathered around Ricky for his answer while Terry was behind them, dragging his butt across the ground like he had worms.

“There’s only one transformer that could match that description and possibly kidnap Fluttershy. Lockdown. But the actual question is why would Lockdown kidnap Saddle Rager?”

Lockdown drove to the junkyard and transformed and sat on a pile of junk. He took out the envelope and opened it up.

“Now what’s so interesting that I have to read it here?”

It was another regular day in Ponyville. And Twilight Sparkle was walking up to her mailbox and saw a special paper inside. It was special because it stood out of the rest of the papers. She took it out, brought the rest of the mail inside but took it with her as she walked through the street with Spike by her side and read the title. “ ’For your eyes and those who also receive this only’. Weird.”

“TWILIGHT!!”

Twilight looked up and saw Pinkie Pie and the girls walking towards her with an envelope that looked just like hers in each of their mouths.

“Hey girls. You got the same paper I did.”

“Not just them.” Twilight looked up in the direction of the voice and saw Terry fly down with an envelope in his hand. “I found this on my face when I woke up from my nap.” Terry then walked past the girl who then huddled up. Rarity was the one to address the situation.
“Girls don’t you find it just a tad suspiscous that Terry came down just as we came to each other with the same envelope?” Applejack was the one to respond.
“That would make since. Probably to get some alone time with Dash.”
“I seriously can’t believe you still believe they’ll be an item. Plus he and Rainbow Dash got the envelopes too.” Rarity looked at the huddle and saw one was missing. “Where is she anyway?” Rarity looked behind her and saw something that made her jaw drop. Dash flew up to Terry’s eye level looked around than gave Terry a peck on the cheek, Terry retailated by turning blood red in the face from blushing. She looked to Applejack who smirked in satisfaction. “Ah believe somepony owes me 6 bits.” Rarity huffed and brought the said bits out, giving them to Applejack while Pinkie Pie bounced behind her. “Called it.” Rarity than brought out an additional 6 bits and gave those to Rarity. Twilight walked up to Terry and Dash. “If you two are done hiding it, let’s head to the castle to read this. Everyone could tell.”

Dash stammered a little at the revelation but then mearly shrugged. “Meh. Might as well.” she than grabbed Terry’s head and brought it in for a kiss, and she used a bit of tongue in it. She broke it while Terry blinked at the shock and blushed as red as a beet but then realized what happened than whispered into Dash’s ear, than her wing flared out before she tucked them back in. “maybe after.”

Twilight only walked away and met up with the girls then Ricky and Dash came in. Rarity turned to them. “Before we read this, we’re gonna have to do a Quadruple Pinkie Promise.”

“Really?”

“It’s what the beginning said.”

All 9 of them preformed the Pinkie Promise four times than opened the envelope than read what it said. Not knowing beings across the multiverse were also receiving it, along with a certain bounty hunter.

“Dear receiver of paper, you have been personally invited to…
