Alfreda somehow grew a beard as he continued to rummage through junk in the basement as another Wirewolf walked behind him. "Hey Alfreda what'cha looking for?" He asked.

"Who the heck are you?"

"Oh I'm Matt, Mom built me incase they ever sent her back to Balkham so that way I could break her out."

"Well I didn't hear her laugh upstairs so you're doing a terrible job at it. I'm looking for something to make today interesting." Alfreda said before he found a plug but couldn't see what it was connected to. He pulled on it and it caused a huge pile of junk to collapse and a large machine rolled out. Alfreda looked it over it great curiosity before looking back to Matt. "The heck is this?"

"The power siphoner, created by the Mane-iac's smartest henchman from the Golden Age of Heroes. Used it to take the powers of the Power Ponies of back then and transferred them into the Alliance of Malevolence."

"What happened then?"

"The Power Ponies turned them against each other. And the real reason it worked was because 3 blotlings attacked High Heel, who received Saddle Rager's powers, meaning their take was out of play for the fight. In my opinion she should've been at maximum angry to escape."

Alfreda looked at the machine before an idea struggled to from in his technical two month and some change fresh head. "Hold on, can this thing be used to transfer abilities instead of just stealing them?"

"I think so, why?"

"Awesome! Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"I think so, but aren't you not allowed at the Zoo anymore?"

"No not the thing with the tutu, and who told you about Bert? I mean I may have found the solution to my problem." Alfreda walked out of the basement with the confident smile as he looked up at the storm clouds. "I have learned I cannot be hurt from Lather when she brought me down some food after a week in that basement, I think I trade it with someone else's powers. If you can hear me now Faust, send me a sign if I should do it." It began to rain.

"I'll take that as a yes! So if you could please, turn the rainwater into wine! For today belongs to Alfreda 'Quarter Spine'- " Alfreda didn't finish as he moved back as to not be hit by a passing car. "That was close." Alfreda held he mouth open expecting the rainwater to become wine, but was only rewarded with a lightning bolt to the mouth shocking his whole body.

"Ouchie." Was all Alfreda said he he laid on the ground smoldering.

Zapp patrolled across the city, bored as there was barely any crime that took long to take care of. She stopped near an alleyway when she heard something. "Hey, you cool?"

"Heck yeah, I'm the coolest pony in all of Equestria." Zapp said walking in. She looked around not seeing anyone until someone came behind her and covered her mouth with a rag of chloroform knocking her out. "Weather Manipulation for Healing? That sounds better already." Alfreda said dragging her away.

Alfreda made sure Zapp's bonds were tight even if she was unconscious, then looked over to Matt. "Is everything in place?"

"All good to go." Matt replied.

"All right. Hello to personal snow days in three... two-Gah! Scratch that, I need to launch an butt to toilet missile, wait until I get back on the platform." Alfreda then walked away to the bathroom while Matt grabbed a magazine featuring the Mane-iac not noticing Saddle Rager flying in on the platform.

"Alfreda? Man you go mad quick." Matt noted before turning on the machine, switching Saddle Rager's powers with Zapp's and vice versa. Matt looked up from his magazine and panicking, his Saddle Rager with a concussion blast from a gun he was working on. Alfreda came into the room hearing something. "Matt what the heck I'm not even in the room yet." Alfreda stop noticed Matt standing with his rifle ready. "Matt, you didn't turn on the machine right?"

"I thought you were on it." Matt replied.

"Wait a minute, if Zapp's tied up, and we're the only ones here, then the hell's was on the platform?" Alfreda before looking over Matt seeing the unconscious Saddle Rager then grabbing the gun angry. "MATT! What the heck!? I can clearly see she wasn't provoked, and I could've gotten two powers for one."

"You're not the kind of guy to get angry." Matt noted, neither Wirewolves noticing Zapp beginning to wake up groggily.

"wha?" Zapp groaned out groggily before she saw a smoking Saddle Rager with alfreda standing over her.

"Uh oh."

"What did you DO?!"

Alfreda threw the gun back to Matt as he began to back away. "It was in self defense and he did it!"

"You coward!" Matt yelled.

"Well it's true!"

Zapp was ready to pounce when her head started to hurt extremely. She saw herself in a nearby mirror, her beginning to glow red with anger.

"I'm going to be the first to crap myself while I die slowly." Matt said.

"Too late, I beat you too it." Alfreda replied terrified. Zapp then began growl as she grew, her muscles thickening as parts of her costume ripping during the transformation. The sound of cracking bones filled the air as her coat color deepened slightly and her wings grew bigger, different from Saddle Rager's. Finally her necklace with the pendent on it snapped falling to the ground near Saddle Rager. She stood over Alfreda and Matt, now the size of Saddle Rager, if not much bigger, as she let out a roar of pure rage, roughly translating in any language to, "You're about to die."

"Super run away!" Alfreda yelled before he ran for the window followed by Matt. Alfreda fell a few feet before he landed on his feet on the ground below. "Huh, so that's why I'm called Catman, I just thought they were being insensitive about my species." Alfreda noted before Matt landed in a dumpster behind him. He heard a rumble before Zapp bursted through the wall next to him and looked at him, a want for his death in her eyes.

"Save us Catman!" Matt yelled before Alfreda slammed the lid on him. "Save yourselves!" He yelled before running away. Alfreda ran as fast as his legs would allow him to go, his motivation coming from the stomps of Zapp. As Alfreda turned a corner, something clicked in his head. Since Saddle Rager's wings stayed the same, it would most likely be impossible for her to fly. Alfreda deployed his wings and flew up out of Zapp's range to grab. "I won't be able to get you on the ground, but these are the skies, the domain of those who can do it." Alfreda gloated with a laugh before a huge flap caught his attention. He looked and saw Zapp with a smile on her face as her huge wings kept her up.

"Correction, the skies, my domain." Zapp corrected, scaring Alfreda as her voice was deep.

Alfreda made what was possibly the dumbest mistake in his life, and tried to punch Zapp only for her to grab his arm with her tail. "Please don't break my arm."

"No." Zapp snapped her tail breaking his arm earning a scream of pain from him.

Some henchponies were relaxing at a cafe as Mane-iac was locked up in Balkham Asylum so they technically had a week or so off, depending on how long it took her escape. Lather was simply enjoying her latte in peace while some henchstallions were enjoying some wine. "Come on Lather, lighten up and get with the times." Prell asked her.

"No thanks, I got that out of my system back when the original Power Ponies were around." Lather noted before Alfreda ran by the cafe, his left arm broken in three places and one of his wings sticking out crooked as he screamed. The other henchponies minus Lather simply shrugged it off, until Zapp, bigger then the size of Saddle Rager ran by them chasing Alfreda. Prell looked at the other henchponies and they all thought the same thing then threw the wine bottles they had to the floor. Lather simply groaned before lighting her horn and vanishing in a teleport.

Zapp scanned the docks around her, knowing Alfreda had ran into this area, then sniffed the air, grinning as she had caught his scent: fear drenched in lot and lots of urine. Zapp made a jump across them and looked at a nearby shipping container, she tore a piece of it off, finding a bunch of wirewolf shells covered in Alfreda's urine. 'Smartass.' Zapp thought to herself before she heard something crash. "Son of a bitch!" A familiar voice said, prompting her to(All though almost impossible to) sneak to behind a corner and peak seeing Alfreda covered in traffic cones from another shipping container before he ran off. With a plan forming in her head, she smiled and took a flap of her wings alerting Alfreda slightly.

Alfreda looked behind him from hearing a flap but then turned back and began to speed walk afraid. He heard another whoosh and began to sprint until he heard a series of rapid whooshes and looked in front of him. "Protect me cone!" He yelled as Zapp rammed into him, slamming through several shipping containers until they both hit and tore into a freighter. Alfreda pulled himself out of some shrapnel and began to run to the hole. Zapp almost pulled him back with her tail but thinking on his feet he cut the hair and jumped out and rolled surprised to find Lather there. "Lather what're-"

"Shut up and duck." Lather simply said before firing a rocket launcher at the freighter, hitting it's fuel lines and blowing the whole thing up, the shock wave caused a craned to swing around hitting him into the water. Alfreda rushed to the surface and kept himself afloat before turning to Lather. "How'd you find me?"

"Not hard to follow a trail of holes left by her, as well as the long yellow puddle in the middle. Speaking of which what exactly happened to her?"

"Matt was an idiot so naturally he accidentally switched her powers with Saddle Rager's. I wanted to switch my Healing factor with Zapp's powers, you see what happens when I have idiots help me in crucial stuff."

"You do realize Zapp's powers come from her pendent, and only the worthy, which you are far from, can wield it?"

"Oh come on! I wasted hours fixing that dumb machine just to find out my plan meant jack squat?!" Alfreda yelled, not noticing the large rainbow mane move through the water like a shark fin behind him before sinking. Lather began to stutter as she saw the mane and pointed at it, but no words came out of her mouth. "Knock it off, I've seen your Shemp, it was only funny the first time." The mane moved through the water again but closer to him. "Okay what feels like Jaws?" Alfreda looked behind him right in time before Zapp to rise up with a smirk. Alfreda made his best Curly impression as he tried to swim away only for Zapp to grab him then pull him under.

Matterhorn looked around the flaming docks where she could as Filli-Second ran next to her. "Find her yet?"

"No. I don't understand, how is it this hard to find a pony that size?" Matterhorn asked as Alfreda zoomed past them like a skipping stone and smashed into some shipping containers.

"I can do this all day." Alfreda said slurry. "You can crush me but you can't crush my spirit." A shipping container fell then crushed Alfreda where he stood. "AHH MY SPIRIT!" Alfreda yelled before the shipping container was lifted by Lather with her magic and pulled Alfreda out then running away. Zapp rammed through some other containers running for them until Marevelous' lasso wrapped around her neck and pulled her back.

"Easy Zapp, don't make us hurt you." She asked.

"Get off!" Zapp yelled swinging her head around throwing Marevelous into a shipping container. Applejack got up shaking it off as Zapp charged at her only for some purple chain constructs from Radiance to wrap around her legs causing her to fall down. "Matterhorn has she said anything to you over the link?"

"I tried talking to her but I couldn't hear myself over her."

"What'd she say?"

"Rage. Just rage, and lots of profanity,like an unnecessary amount, especially for Alfreda and Marevelous."

"Zapp smash!" Zapp roared slamming herself into the ground cracking the chains causing Radiance to sweat as she put more energy into the construct before Zapp pulled with all her might shattering it with little to no effort. Angry with how they tried to chain her, Zapp charged at Radiance and Matterhorn before a lightning bolt hit her causing her to stumble and stop. She looked at her back seeing the scorch mark which began to heal as she grew angrier before looking up trying to see whoever struck her, surprised seeing Saddle Rager with Zapp's pendent around her neck.

"Zapp! You stop this rampage right now! You should be ashamed of yourself causing all this destruction over a simple misunderstanding." Zapp began to cower slightly, beginning to shrink as Saddle Rager gave her an intense stare as she flew in front of her face. "Just because you have my powers doesn't mean you're special. That's good for me though because that means I can reprimand you without changing! You stay right there because you have a lot of time to think about what you've done." Zapp was back to normal, hiding her face with her wings as Saddle Rager huffed before calming herself down.

"Saddles that was awesome!" Filli-Second yelled excitingly.

"Good job, as soon as she's done cowering like that let's try to find Alfreda."

"What'd you say?!" Zapp yelled before Radiance created a cage construct around her.

Alfreda laid in the hospital bed, several Iron lungs attached together and onto his body, only his right arm, which was in a cast, and his head were visible. Matt and Lather stood by him as the doctor walked in. "Well guys I got good news and bad news and good news. Good news is he survived. Bad news is that that Iron Lung is the only thing that's keeping him alive. The good news after that is I still get paid from him being hooked up to those." The doctor told Alfreda with a chuckle at the end. "I'll leave you and your friends to figure out what's next." The doctor then left leaving the three of them in the room.

"So what now?" Matt asked.

"Well we ned to figure out how to solve this Zapp Rager problem. So time to wake up the only guy that knows how." Lather said before taking out a taser and zapping Alfreda in the nostrils with it.

"PLEASE ZAPP NO I CAN'T AFFORD DRY CLEANING!!" Alfreda yelled waking up seeing the confused faces of both Matt and Lather about his choice of words. "You forget you heard that."

"How do you fix this?"

"Easy just switch her power back with Saddle Rager's. The key to it all is to attach the sparkplug it needs to work. Luckily I grabbed it from the machine before I ran. It's amazing how sturdy it is." Alfreda said earning a deadpan from both Lather and Matt. "What?"

Saddle Rager escorted Zapp to her desk, both of them out of costume wanting to stay incognito, Saddle Rager making sure no one was going to anger her. "You don't need to be here Fluttershy, I can do this myself."

"No Rainbow Dash, you be calm now, but getting my powers made you more volatile, and we can't risk you changing while you're in public out of costume."

"Fine, anger management seems like too much but if it'll make you feel better sure. Also I'm sorry I lost control, I just felt so intoxicated from that strength all I thought about was getting Alfreda for what he did."

"I know that feeling way too well to let it get you too Rainbow."

"So you admit you like throttling him?" Rainbow said, her eyes sly.

"What? N-no I was just trying to empathize with you on my powers-"

"All right shut up, your teachers here!" A voice said interrupting Fluttershy as a Wirewolf walked in drinking a bottle of cider sitting at the desk up front facing the room. "Terry? You know the teacher sits there."

"Duh. I am the teacher."

"You? When you can't even control your cider problem?" Dash complained her eyes a tinge pink.

"Hey I can quit anytime I want, I chose not to, now shut it, it's Anger Management not a CA meeting. Seems appropriate that you're here."

Rainbow clenched her jaw as she growled. "I'll give you a reason I'm here..."

"Okay let us begin, I am your teacher for Anger Management, Terry Tearing-Limbs R~odriguez. You're all here for several reasons, some of you came on your own accord which is pure bull. Others have done something which caused them to have to come here to find out why they're full of rage. To find out how to uncover that we must first ask what is rage? Rage is just like cider, when aged to a certain point, it can have a long lasting effect on you, and may bring out emotions that you've never known you had but kept suppressed." Terry then downed the rest of the bottle his body and shuddered as he put it in the trash.

"Hey Cider Vacuum what the hell does that mean?" A mare in the back asked.

"Huh?" Terry asked slurry. "Oh yeah it means the first step to solving anger is not drinking."

"Yeah I don't buy it."

"If I wanted to see an idiot drink cider, I'd have gone to the Cider Drinking class."

"The drinking of Cider is much like your rage." Tirek said gesturing to the bottle he held.

"Just drink the cider ya pansy!" Kul'as yelled agitated.

Rainbow walked into the room with the others Fluttershy escorting her. "So how'd the class go?" Applejack asked.

"What'd you think?" Dash asked annoyed. "It was pointless. Especially with Terry being the idiot to teach it."

"Whoa calm down, he can be dumb but there's no need to go there." Spike replied.

"Stay out of this!" Dash shouted at him.

"Alright you two no need to all worked up." Applejack said as she gently nudged Dash away from Spike.

"Stay out of this AJ before kick you flank all the way to Washingtrot!"

"Them's fightin' words Dash. Ya'll hunker down before ya do something you'll regret."

"Oh I'll regret?" Dash yelled as her eyes glowed red with rage. "You're the one who's gonna regret this!" Dash's body began to grow in size as her strength multiplied. When her transformation was complete she let a menacing snarl escape her lips which caused AJ to back up nervously.

"Good going Applejack." Spike said sarcasticly. "Now we're both screwed."

Fluttershy flew up to behind Dash's ear where she scratched at it while talking to her. "Calm down Rainbow Dash, we're all friends here, there's no need to get mad, we're all trying to find a way to fix this."

Dash began to shrink as she calmed down until she was back at her normal height.

"Really that's it?" Spike asked. "That's all it took to calm you down?"

"Would you rather I get pissed off again?" Rainbow asked as her eyes flashed red once more causing Spike to turn tail and run away hinding behidn Twilight. "That's what I thought. Thanks for keeping me in check Fluttershy."

"Oh of course Dashie. It would be just awful to see you hurt our friends. I know you don't mean the things you say." Fluttershy said smiling.

"Actually I do mean most of the things I say."

"Like the mean things even?" Rainbow nodded.

"Oh well um you would still feel bad for hurting your friends when you get mad right?"

"Not really. If I pound them they probably deserve it."

A transmission broke through the mane computer as Lather appeared on it. "Hey, Zapp, you there, I have a deal for you. I know you guys took the power siphoner, but we have the key piece it needs to work. Come over to Mane cool as a cucumber and this won't end bad."

"That's not how you make them come." Matt said as he bumped Lather"Hey, I'm betting you're too chicken to come over here and face Alfreda by yourself or you can keep your new powers for good." Matt then hung up the transmission.

Alfreda's eye twitched uncontrollably as he spoke. "Matt come here." Matt obliged coming closer allowing Alfreda to use his free hand to strangle Matt. "YOU'RE DEAD! IF I'M GONNA DIE YOU'RE DEAD FIRST YOU EMPTY HEADED CAN OPENER!" Lather separated the two before Alfreda could finish the job and calmed him down.

"Easy Alfreda, she's probably not gonna take it seriously."

The Power Ponies simply stood there staring at the static before Pinkie came back to her senses first. "So are we gonna got in peacefully and just talk to them or is Dashie really gonna go hooves punching?"

Everyone looked over at Dash before her eyes began to glow red as she began to smile evilly. "I'm going to enjoy pummeling him way more then I should." Dash said jumping through the nearby window as she began to transform running in towards Mane Street.

Lather rolled Alfreda's bed, Iron Lung and everything down the street as Matt ate a fancy dinner that was on a food cart attached to it, sitting in a chair he attached to it as well. "So we just need to get you back to Mane-iac's place and we can put this behind us when we attract." Lather explained before a rumbling shook the ground.

"ALFREDAAAAAAAAAA!!!" A familiar voice shouted deepening.

"Welp that's our cue to leave you Alfreda." Lather said as Matt finished the drink.

"But Matt ate my hospital food, which in this situation I consider my last meal." Alfreda pointed out.

"Well look at it this way, if that's being the worst thing to happen to you today consider yourself lucky." Lather said seeing Zapp running at them.

"Do they really allow to leave a guy in my condition to be executed like this?!" Alfreda yelled.

"From this point on we're out of here." Matt said before running away along with Lather.

Alfreda tried to stare Zapp down, until he saw the ocean of rage within her eyes and grabbed the remote his his intact hand turn around and drove away. Alfreda screamed as he drove away but then he saw he was still ahead of Zapp. "I'm gonna live. I'M GONNA LIVE!!" Alfreda yelled in happiness as he rolled away until he felt a shadow over him and saw behind him

Zapp was using her wings to get right behind him. Alfreda saw a ramp ahead of him and moved for it Zapp following. Alfreda cheered as he flew over the ramp. Only for him to crash on the other side and was rammed into by Zapp, tearing off some of his Iron Lung before she punched him into the ground repeatedly.

"I surrender! Mercy! Uncle! I call all the relatives!"

Zapp grabbed his and lifted him up to her eyes.

"You taunted me and you expect mercy?"

"That was my idiot friend! I want nothing to do with him."

Zapp dropped him to which he got up, realizing his legs were healed.

"3 minute headstart."

"Really? A sporting chance?" Alfreda asked touched.

"Two minute."

Alfreda ran as fast as he legs carried him, much faster this time what with them being newly healed, and quickly ran into the construction site. Zapp crashed through a wall looking at him.

"Cramped space, bad idea."

"That's the thing, it's scheduled to be blown up right about..." Alfreda said before the whole building was encompassed in a huge explosion.

A few of the henchponies were gathered around drinking as they mourned in loss of Alfreda. "Won't be the same around here without Alfreda here." Matt said mournfully.

"I feel like he'll always be here watching us." Lather agreed.

"Hey guys what's going on?" Alfreda asked them causing them to panic as they saw him. "Alfreda?! We thought you were dead." Lather yelled.

"You sound like the construction worker that spotted me, I heard something move through the rubble, figured that was Zapp, and so I decided to dig my way out in the opposite direction, I ended up landed next to a dump truck then took the bus down here. So what happened while I napped?"

"They switched Zapp's powers back, so you know that's sort of good."

"Well great, I think I'm like 3 months old from when I was built and I already have 3 enemies that left scars on me."

"3? Who else's powers did you switch with Saddle Rager's?"

"Oh no, no one like that, I'm not that stupid. It was a whole other Sea-World centered but unrelated incident. I'd like to not talk about what transpired. I've been so busy with the basement I haven't tried other crimes besides burglary and ponynapping. I'm going to give grave robbing a try. And also doing this." Alfreda grabbed a shovel off the floor, smacked Matt senseless upside his head with it, and walked away with a burlap sack in hand. "That was for wasting my day."

"Sis get the first aid kit ready." Lather sighed.

Alfreda crawled out of the grave dusting himself off looking at his loot. "Wow this night turned out better then I thought, all this loot and no guards." Alfreda went into the next grave, odd at how the dirt looked freshly dug and found a massively coffin. "Oh I hit the motherload." Alfreda gloated happily opening the coffin only to find a smug Zapp waiting for him. "Knew you'd survive. We still have unfinished business." Zapp said.

"Up yours!" Alfreda yelled then threw dust in Zapp's eyes and slammed the coffin shut as he pushed the pile of dirt back onto the pile, running like the wind. 'Huh, this coward running stuff actually isn't half bad. It feels so right.'

Author's Note

Oh Alfreda is going to get more used to running then he knows.

The idea of Rainbow Rage came to me while i watched the episode again and thought about Tanks for Nothing, I felt it went hand in hand and this chapter was born out of it.

I'm letting you know now, there's about four chapters left after this one.
