Sunset Overdrive: Manehattan's Finest

Even amongst the rainy streets of Manehattan, ponies stopped to talk with one another, sharing a recollection of events from their private lives from weeks ago. However, even as ponies were packed closely together, nopony paid any kinds of attention to the two hooded figures moving from alleyway to alleyway. After passing by a local food joint, the two figures removed their hood.

The first figure was Sunset Shimmer, her crimson and gold mane plastered to her golden coat. She looked around the corner and asked, "Do you think anypony saw us?" Her voice barely even a whisper.

The second figure was Sonata Dusk, her ridiculously sized violet and electric blue ponytail somehow remained dry through their journey here. Sonata groaned and whined, "We've been running for HOURS, Sunset! Can't we just relax for a little bit?"

Sunset groaned and facepalmed when a loud and cheery voice called, "EXCUSE ME, YOU LADIES SEEM TO BE LOST!!!"

The two mares looked right as an electric blue pegasus approached them, his bright orange mane slicked back to keep out of the stallions face, his sparkling orange eyes flicking from mare to mare as if he were contemplating which one to dissect first.

Sunset was about to tell him off when Sonata flashed him her dazzling smile and said, "Yup! We're TOTALLY lost!"

"If I may be so kind as to extend my hospitality..." The stallion conked his head with a hand as if he'd forgotten something. "Where are my manners... I'm Overcharge!"

Sunset groaned and facepalmed again and said through gritted teeth, "I'm Sunset Shimmer and this is Sonata Dusk."

"Yo!" Sonata interjected, waving a bit.

Overcharge's ears flicked and he stood in between the two mares, spreading his wings to make canopies for them, right as the rain picked up again.

"If I were to extend my hospitality, would you both accept it?" He asked as Sonata patted his head.

Both mares nodded and walked alongside him, Sunset casting a wary glance up at the stallion.

The group walked in silence until they reached a door covered in graffiti, Sunset immediately noticing one of the symbols on the door was from her time before her banishment. A simple slash mark with what appeared to be a 'U' with an 'x' in it with two horizontal lines along the slash.

"The House of Secrets." Overcharge announced as he tapped the door.

The door was opened by a violet pegasus with-

"THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT!!!" A voice screamed, snapping me back to reality. "WHAT'S WITH THIS BULLSHIT?!?"

I look up and see Sunset Overdrive holding up the script, a look of disgust upon his face.

"Overdrive!" I snap, reaching for the script. "Every good hero has an origi-"

The stallion gasps and says, "There's something on your face!" My hand reaching to swat off whatever it is.

THWACK!!!

My head snaps back as he punches me in the face.

"IT WAS PAIN!!!"

I hold my now bleeding nose and lunge for Overdrive... only to have him vanish back into the story... and leave the origins completely blank.

"MOTHERFU-"

"Well THAT was boring." Overdrive said with a yawn, knocking back a Hard Cider then tossing it onto a pile of discarded bottles.

"Indeed it was!" Announcer chimed in. "But it was nice to see the author..."

"Who the fuck is 'the author'?" Fizzy snapped.

"Wait... YOU CAN HEAR ME?!?"

Fizzy let out a hearty laugh and smiled. "You're the loudest voice in my head."

Sunset Overdrive chuckled a bit then snapped his hand out, a crowbar appearing in it.

"You know... the first rule of being spy-" He rolls forward and there is a sound of metal hitting flesh as a black armored pony is wrenched out of the shadows, the crowbar lodged in its eye... a killing blow. "Is you don't make a FUCKING sound."

Fizzy let out a low whistle and nodded approvingly. "Nice-"

SNAP!!!

Fizzy whimpered as she heard the neck snap. Overdrive NEVER lost his cool... if he's losing his cool...

"Better!" Overdrive chimed as he wrenched the crowbar out of the deceased ponies skull. "Fizzy, analyze him... I don't think he's alone..."

I reach into the story, feel around and pull out Sunset Overdrive by his tail.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!?" I shrieked.

"SOMETHING WAY BETTER THAN THE SHIT YOU HAD EARLIER!!" The stallion snapped in response.

I groan, he was right, I was never good at romantic back stories, just smut roleplays, violence, and video games.

"Okay, how about a compromise." I say as I set him down. "I will introduce the characters in special chapter sequences with references to romance. There will be plenty of violence since {This text has been removed due to spoilers}."

Sunset Overdrive nods and extends his hand. "Deal."

We lock hands and give a brisk shake, then Sunset Overdrive returns to his story.

At that time, I jump into the seat at my desktop and begin typing:

BACK TO ME:

"Alright, back to the story."

"So what the fuck is happening now?" Fizzy asked, scratching her head.

"The other characters are going to be introduced." Sunset Overdrive responded as he plopped onto the sofa.

Things are out of hand already!

Will Sunset Overdrive and Fizzy be able to counter the afore mentioned threat?

PROBABLY NOT!!!
