In the middle of the deserts of Applelousa, a blue portal opened out of nowhere and Lockdown drove through with Diablo Corps inside of him as the portal closed behind them. Diablo looked out the window poked his head out of a window than sighed. “Man that was close. By the way Lockdown, while you’re catching Foxy, if you happen to find Waspinator, bring him in. my guys will give Foxy a swift kick in the tailpipe, I’ll personally tear Waspinator a new Waste-Disposal Unit for ratting me out.”

“No problem.”

Diablo Corps took a bottle out of his pocket and looked at it. “This is Zapp Apple Cider, Ponyville Apple Family makes this for occasions that will definitely be remembered years to come. This is one of the very first bottles that they made. I’ve been saving it for years, and this is an occasion I think calls for this: evading capture and possible death by Saddle Ra-”

A loud boom interrupted his speech and Diablo looked back saw something that generally surprised him: a portal opened up exactly where he closed his, and Saddle Rager jumping through with the Power Ponies and Mighty Machines alongside her.

“How did-”

Terry popped up out of Saddle Rager’s mane, smirking with the universal transporter in his hand.

“You’re not the only guy with a universal transporter!”

Diablo groaned and put his head back in the car. “Lockdown, get into overdrive!”

“You got it boss.”

Lockdown shifted fears and boosted forward to stay ahead, but on Diablo Corp’s side, Filly-Second came up and looked at Diablo.

“Apologize!”

“If there’s anything I learned watching Norman Osborn, it’s never to apologize. Except for family and friends. And last I checked we weren’t really friends.”

“We will be someday!”

Diablo threw a jar at Filly-Second and she got stuck where she was as it was a jar filled with super-glue. He looked ahead and saw a railroad with a train on the side coming up. “Right on schedule.”

Radiance created a tank with rocket boosters and gathered Everypony inside making it closer and closer to Lockdown, eventually they were on his side when Saddle Rager raised her hooves and was about to bring them down when Radiance made a sharp turn, as they came up to a train, Lockdown took a turn the opposite way and made it to the engine and Diablo got out through the roof of the car and prepared to jump when Lockdown spoke. “By the way I delivered like you expected. Does that mean we’re even?”

“Not even close.”

Diablo Corps leaped to the engine as Lockdown pulled away as to make sure the Power Ponies didn’t go for him next after they got Diablo Corps. He turned and saw the train conductor get engulfed in a green flame and Masque was in his place. “Surprise.”

Masque lunged in for a punch only for Diablo Corps to dodge and kicked through the back door, sending him through every single car door and out the caboose. Diablo regretted it immediately as Pinkie Pie of this world ran towards him through the cars. “You have a lot to answer for meanie pants! Apologize!”

“Never!” Diablo slammed his foot on the connector of the engine to the car, breaking it and causing the engine to speed ahead thanks to less mass. He turned saw he smashed through a sign and was heading for a cliff. Diablo took all of the coal and poured it into the fire, sending the Train rocketing towards the canyon. around ad was meet face-to-face with old Waspinator.

“Now Waspinator can talk to Bug-Man. Waspinator no like bug-man. Bug-man always sends Waspinator to missions where someone would always die. Because it is always Waspinator who dies! Waspinator sick of being butt monkey,” Waspinator reached behind his head and ripped of something than waved it in Diablo Corps’ face revealing it as Diablo Corps’ insignia. “Sick of being Diablo Corps! Waspinator especially sick of YOU! Waspinator Quits! So now Bug-Man can just pucker his lips, and plant one on” Waspinator stuck his but in Diablo Corps’ direction. “Waspinator’s big, fat, stripy-”

Diablo Corps’ grabbed Waspinator and threw him in the engine, speeding up the train as it came to the canyon to which it flew over and was reaching the other side. “Astrotrain, TAKE OFF!”

“Get in boss.” Diablo Corps was surprised as he saw Astrotrain outside flying by.

“Wait if you’re out there and I’m in here…” he looked forward and saw the train nosedive into the canyon. he knew his end had come and than only thought of the last words of the most famous Soundwave Cassette of all time.

“ Diablo Corps... FOREVEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!! ”

The Power Ponies (Saddle Rager finally calmed down) and Mane Six came to the canyon edge, just in time to look into the canyon and see the engine explode at the bottom of the canyon with any hope of Diablo Corps surviving vanishing in the raging inferno, and the pieces flying up. One screaming piece flying towards Terry who managed to get the piece in his hands revealing it to be Waspinator.

“Waspinator is not having good day.”

Terry perked up. “Actually you got out in one piece, or in this case your whole head. It’s gonna be awesome to have you here around, we’ll hang out, exchange stories. In fact I bet Pinkie Pie will throw you a party when we get back just for trying to stop the bad guy.”

“Waspinator thanks wolf-bot. Waspinator feels luck is finally turning around.”

The Girls and Terry with the new Waspinator as and addition to their group. Masque ran up t the Power Ponies as he finally caught up but was out of breath than looked to the girls and guys. “Did…we…catch…him?”

Timberwolf had to be the bearer of bad news. “If ya count crushed under train wreck in the bottom of a canyon caught than yes.”

“Bummer. Glad that you’re not super mad anymore Shy.”

“Me too. I don’t think I’ll ever get that mad at anyone anymore.”

Timberwolf thought so too. “Yeah- wait, you could get mad at Masque.”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean some of the stuff he said about you the past 4 days and did. For example, he said he could fill in your place until you were found. He did a perfect impression of you to emulate this. Don’t get me started on Angel”

“What about Angel?” Saddle Rager queried, not seeing Masque behind her making a throat chopping motion-telling Timberwolf to shut up.

“Well he bugged Angel like Discord usually did, but than he started stealing Angel’s carrots.”

“How could you do something like that?”

Masque responded calmly as if he had been rehearsing and role-playing this while she was missi-which he did not at all! “I can explain. For one thing he like a dozen carrots so I figured he wouldn’t miss one or two. Plus I have a Beta-Carotene deficiency.”

Saddle Rager began to think over the information she was just given form both sides when Timberwolf intervened. “The deficiency that has a guy leaving a rabbit only 3 carrots?”

“Hey! You said you didn’t see anything. Plus the amount of carrots I need. Plus I didn’t know if she was gonna be alive, and I didn’t wanna take care of all her animals.” He looked to Saddle Rager and saw she was taking deep breaths but knew she was gonna blow her top. Saddle Rager looked directly at him, anger building up in her eyes. “Run.”

“Hey I didn’t mean it like that but you gotta admit, that is quite a handful, and I think what I did could discipline Angel way better than you ever will-”

“Run, now.” Masque looked to Saddle Rager ready to continue the argument when he saw her temple sticking out and throbbing while her face contorted into more anger. A green flame surrounded masque and in his place was Blurr who ran like there was no tomorrow, to which Timberwolf opened the portal-allowing Masque to go through. Saddle Rager continued doing the breathing in and breathing out to stay calm and felt herself getting calmer when Timberwolf spoke after his face looked like it was in deep thought. “And he sold all your animal care stuff.”

After Timberwolf said that, Saddle Rager’s eye filled with red like she popped a blood vessel in both her eyes.

The henchmen began to retreat as the titans proved too much for them. Wasp finally put himself back together and stood proud in front of the entrance with Deadpool at his side. “Uh Wasp? Are you sure it’s a good idea to stand here? Cause I just got word that Waspinator’s luck is finally turning around. I’m no scientist, but I can tell you that it’s a sign the pain count is your turn.”

“Wasp not listen to Pajama Man. Wasp become hero by stopping bad-”

A blue portal opened behind the two of them and Masque ran through. “Hey guys! Bye guys!”

Deadpool looked into the portal and jumped out of the way while Waspinator just stood there looking at Masque run away. “Blurr-bot? How did you-”

Waspinator’s thoughts were interrupted as Saddle Rager pretty much ran him over and leapt towards Masque, landing on him and kicked him into the Power Ponies HQ. Than the henchmen came through as the portal closed allowing them inside the building and trample Wasp who grunted in pain several times. When the last one went through, Deadpool walked up to the broken Wasp.

“Hey Wasp, why does everyone around you like hurting you?”

“Because…shut up.”

It had one day immediately after Diablo’s demise, and the Criminal underworld was taking his loss slow. Kul’as made no attempt to regain the territory he lost, as that empire would need everything it’s got to stay together after it’s boss got canned. His office had been kept the same since that day and was only dusted. Blood and Fred looked out the window and turned around to see Lockdown enter the room with Foxy tied up and gagged thrown to the floor. Blood took out his wallet.

“How much?

“Nothing. You have my condolences on the loss. Consider this on the house.”

“Thanks.”

“So who’s in charge now?”

“We’ll we could hold an election-”

A familiar voice rang though the office despite the window being broken. “The day we go to Democracy…” the trio looked at the trap door on the left of the room and saw a familiar figure in a cloak standing on it, who flipped his hood off, allowing the face of Diablo Corps to be seen. “Is the day I let Lockdown go.”

Lockdown smirked. “You slick psycho. You planned to crash that train into the canyon.”

“Yep. Had to keep them off my trail. For a while at least.”

“Your bottle of Cider?”

“Tucked it back in my pocket and used Waspinator to break my fall. Lost my arm but I got a brand new one instead.” Diablo Corps showed off his right arm with was now that of the very first Galvatron.

“Nice. You plan on drinking the cider.”

“Not yet. You see everyone thinks I’m dead, including Saddle Rager. Wouldn’t that be fun to know the one that offed her, would be a ghost of her past.”

“Clever plan. You plan on doing it with your own servos?”

“Killing blow. I’ll need something to work up to that. Lockdown, you think you can find a heck of a bunch of parts for a suit to for me to go up against her? ”

“I can find the parts: Kinetic shock absorber, electro Gauntlet, name the parts I can find it.”

“And in case Devastator jumps in to save the day?”

“Electromagnetic pulse cannon, tractor beam, a metal I came upon immune to his powers, the Polaris Gauntlet, need I go on.”

“No need. You can start collecting the parts now if you want.” Lockdown left the room, and a grin formed on Diablo Corps’ face as he looked out the window, at the city. “Sleep well Saddle Rager, it may be the last time to sleep soundly again.” Diablo Corps began to a evil laugh on a Joker scale when he almost tripped over Foxy, to who he looked down angrily at than to Blood and Fred. “Get him into the quadruple torture basement. He broke the number one villain rule: never interrupt a evil laugh, and make sure the jumper cables are on his chest this time.”

Diablo Corps walked out and finished what he stared as Blood and Fred dragged Foxy out of the room, who struggled with fear in his eyes: a maniacal Joker style laugh.
