Shining Armor and an army of police officers drove through the quiet streets of Canterlot Their sirens blaring and lights flashing. The police were on high alert after the gold tower fire was extinguished. They feared of any possible attacks in the city and patrolled the streets to find the blue man. They didn't expect to get caught by gunfire in the middle of a street.

When they turned to another street they were ambushed by twelve men with guns. They fired rapidly into the cop cars, breaking the windows. Shining armor quickly stopped the car and opened the door. He took cover behind the door along with other cops.

"Is everyone alright!" Shining yelled.

"We're alright! Wind is hit!" An officer yelled back, his partners painful screams following after.

"We need backup!" Officer soundwave yelled.

"Can somebody reach their radios!"

He saw soundwave attempt to reach his radio, but was quickly shot in the chest through the glass. He screamed at the bullet impacting his armor. He got out and went back to his cover.

"I can't!"

They shouted at one another to get help, but none of them could reach their radio. They returned fire at their attackers, who were reloading their weapons. Shining fired his shotgun into the hood of their vehicles, causing the metal to bend.

After the intense gunfire, officer silver managed to shoot one of them. They heard the blast hit the man, his screams shortly followed.

The cops cars suddenly started floating up,surrounded by a yellow mist. They stared up in disbelief as their vehicles crashed into each other and were crushed into a ball above their heads .They quickly tried to get new cover after losing their cars, but were quickly surrounded by men with guns.

"What do we do, armor?" Silver asked. Shining groaned and gave the order to surrender. The cops held their hands up in the air and put their guns on the ground. The men smiled at their victory and quickly disarmed the cops. They gathered them into a small circle on the grass and held their guns at them. Shining stared at the ground in defeat and thought about his loved ones. The other cops gave up hope, too. They stared at the ground in sadness and waited for death. Instead they heard the guns click into safety. The men had standed down and stared at the officers. Shining looked up and saw a large figure come out of the crowd. The officers gasped in disbelief at the size of the figure. The figure stepped into the light, revealing his elongated face and his sharp horns that reflected light from the street lamp. He stared at the officers with a smile on his face, and held back the urge to laugh. The cops all stared at behemoth in shock and fear.

"Scorch, well done." Behemoth thanked.

"Thanks, boss." Scorch replied, saluting behemoth.

Behemoth stared at the group of officers and inspected their faces. They all looked at him in fear, except shining armor. He was looking at him in anger, causing behemoth to raise an eyebrow.

"Your face shows fear, yet your inside shows anger. How maddening is it to see yourself in this position?"

"What the hell are you?" Shining asked.

"Im behemoth. And you're gonna help me make show sure tonight goes perfectly ."

"If you think I'll help you then-"

"Failing to cooperate will lead to the death of your fellow comrades by my soldiers. You swore an oath to serve and protect, correct? I'd advise listening to me. Or else." Behemoth demanded. Shining armor looked at his comrades. Their faces were covered with fear and filled with tears. Shining armor didn't want his friends to die because of him. With heavy reluctance, he gave in to behemoth.

"What do you want from me?" He said with sadness. Behemoth pulled a phone out and threw it on the ground infront of him. Shining looked up at the phone in confusion.

"Call your sister." He ordered.

"What, no! No way." He yelled. Behemoths nostrils flared in anger. He kneeled down and got in shinings face.

"Listen to your orders, officer." He growled.

"What do you want with her?"

"That is not for you to know." He said. He raised his fist and signaled the soldiers to raise their guns. They cocked their guns and prepared to fire.

"No, I'll call her! Just don't shoot!"

"Don't test my patience, shining armor." He growled. Shining quickly grabbed the phone and dialed his sisters number. Shining held the phone to his ear and listened to the ring. He hoped that twilight would answer. He heard the ring stop and twilights voice speak through the phone.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Twilight, its me, Shining armor. I'm borrowing someone else's phone." He explained. Behemoth smiled at his cooperation.

"Shining! I'm with the girls and Norman."

"You're with Norman?" Behemoth widened his eyes at his name. He remembered Norman from Sunsets memories. There was something about him that interested him.

"It's a long story." Twilight answered. Behemoth snapped out of his thoughts and issued an order.

"Tell them police is at the school and that you'll see her there." He ordered. Shining hesitated, but followed through.

"Listen, I need you to head to the school.”

"Why?" Twilight asked.

"The city is under attack. Trust me, me and the police are there helping people. The school is a shelter. You'll be safe, just get there, please." Shining hoped Twilight would listen.

"Okay, I'll see you at the school." Shining sighed in relief, but grew scared for what behemoth had planned at the school.

"Thanks Twilight. I love you."

"Love you, too." Twilight said, hanging up. Shining dropped the phone on the ground and looked at behemoth. His face was more serious than before.

"If you hurt her-" shinings threat was cut off by behemoth covering his mouth.

"You'll do what? Stare at me to death?" He joked, uncovering his mouth.

"You've done well, Shining Armor. For that I’ll let you live.” He said, standing up. He got up and walked away from the group.

"Put them in the back with Neo. I'll deal with them later." He ordered, getting in the truck. The group cuffed them and dragged the officers into the back with Neo. Shining quickly stood up and charged towards the men. They closed the door before shining could reach them and walked away. Shining hit the door with a thud and fell on the floor. He cried and prayed for his sisters safety.


"He wants us to go where?" Norman asked. His face looked puzzled as he drove through canterlot.

"The school. It's the safest place in the city." Twilight said.

"Canterlot high is not the safest place in the city." Bonbon replied, remembering the friendship games.

"Somethings not right, here." Norman whispered loud enough for everyone to hear.

"I trust my brother. He would never lie to me." Twilight said, defending her brother. The group of friends gasped at the sudden revelation that twilight had a brother.

"You have a brother?" Sunset asked.

"Didn't I ever tell any of you?" Twilight asked. The girls all shook their head at the same time.

"Is he white with blue hair?" Pinkie excitingly asked, raising her hand.

"Yeah, how'd you know?"

"I know everyone in the city. See." Pinkie said, pulling out a picture with Shining Armor and the whole police force smiling at the camera. Pinkie was in the middle wearing a police outfit. The words "Happy Retirement" were displayed on a banner at the top.

"The commissioner knew my dad." Pinkie explained. They all rolled their eyes at the response. Norman decided to drive to the school. Yet he couldn't shake off the feeling that they were driving into a trap. He said nothing and instead focused on driving. Normally, it would take thirty minutes to get to the school from here, but thanks to the clear roads. It would take just ten minutes.

"We knew." Bonbon smiled, getting a response.

"Well of course, you knew. We didn't even know you were secret agents until today." Rainbow said, rolling her eyes.

"What do you do there, anyway?" Rarity asked. The girls nodded in agreement and looked to bonbon for answers.

"What I already told you. We travel the world and work with other agencies like us to stop and prevent all future disasters. We go from search and rescue, spying, some double agent stuff, and global disaster sort of stuff. Everything we do is for the benefit of mankind." Bonbon explained.

"How long have you been around?" Twilight asked, genuinely interested in the agency.

"The agency was founded ever since the beginning of America. We've had a part in every war we've ever been in." Bonbon answered.

"Ever since Sunset, the agency hasn't been the same." Bonbon added

"What do you mean?" Rainbow asked in suspicion.

"What I said. When sunset entered our world in like 2010, 2011? Bonbon guessed looking back at norman for the answer. He shrugged his shoulders and gave her a clueless expression.

"We picked up a huge burst of EM frequencies located on the school grounds."

"EM frequencies... Like what I discovered before the friendship games?" Twilight blurted out. Bonbon nodded her head and continued.

"At first, we thought our satellites were glitching up. Then, when it happened again late last year we knew something was up. So they sent me."

"Has the agency ever been in a situation like this before?"

"We've dealt with immigration before, but nothing like this." Bonbon replied

"Immigration?" Applejack said, raising an eyebrow.

"Before the sirens, Sunset was the first alien to ever visit Earth. The agency didn't know you were here for the past three years and sent me to investigate. When we first saw you I was supposed to establish first contact. But in the end, I was already too late." Bonbon said, looking at the friends Sunset had made. Norman drove past a sign with directions to canterlot high and informed his passengers.

"We'll be reaching the school, soon." Norman said, turning right onto another street. Norman drove past the quiet neighborhood. They had entered a housing area a few minutes ago. He could see a clearing and a tall building poking out the hill in the distance. He smiled as he reached his destination.

His smile turned to suspicion when he saw the barren school grounds. He had expected tons of vehicles in the parking lot and in the field and instead saw nothing. He thought back to when he was stuck in a school after a flood hit the city he was working in. He remembered the self made operating tents and ambulances parked on the lot and the field. He was expecting to see the same thing now. He was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard the sound of tires screeching on the road. Norman turned his head to the left just in time to see a car ram into the truck. He fell into unconsciousness from the force of the crash. The truck was pushed down to its side. The girls screamed at the top of their lungs, fearing for their lives. Their bodies crashed into each other as the truck flipped to its side. Fluttershy was the first to recompose herself. She sat up and looked at the driver seat. Norman was unconscious and was bleeding on the side of his face. Bonbon was still awake and was trying to get out of her seat. Fluttershy crawled to Bonbons seat and helped her.

"Are you okay?" Fluttershy asked, trying to help bonbon out.

"Yeah, I'm just stuck." Bonbon said. Fluttershy removed Bonbon seat belt and started pulling her. She successfully helped pull her out of her seat and they stood up and looked at Norman with concern.

"Is he okay?" She asked, staring at the blood dripping off his forehead. Bonbon had the same concern and jumped on her seat and checked Norman pulse. She sighed in relief when she felt a pulse.

"Help me get him down." Bonbon asked, fluttershy nodded and reached for his seatbelt. Bonbon braced for impact and caught normans body, barely falling from the weight. Fluttershy effortlessly helped Norman up and brought his arm around her shoulder. Bonbon was surprised by fluttershys efforts and followed suit. She and fluttershy carried Norman by his arms and dragged him to the floor. They carefully placed him on the floor, his head falling to the side.

Soon after they heard the girls all start groaning in pain. One by one, they slowly got up from their uncomfortable positions.

"What happened?" Sunset said, rubbing her head. They heard rarity scream and looked at her. She was screaming at her ruined hair in her mirror. Rarity saw her friends give her a look and nervously smiled.

"We were hit by a car." Bonbon answered, pulling out a gun. The girls all gasped and expressed their concern.

"How did they not see us? We're the only ones driving." Rainbow said, oblivious to the obvious. Applejack face palmed.

"Obviously they hit'n us on purpose. Ain't that right?" Applejack asked bonbon. She nodded her head in agreement and opened the back door. They walked outside and were immediately greeted by twenty men carrying guns. Fluttershy bolted back inside in fear.

"Grab them!" Scorch commanded. His men walked towards the girls with open hands. Bonbon knew she couldn't take all of them and surrendered. The simple math went over the other girls heads as they tried to fight off their attackers.

"Hey, let me go!" Rainbow yelled, punching the man in the face. The man held his fist in the air and prepared to punch back. Before he could punch her, he heard Scorch shout at him.

"Unharmed, Iron!" Scorch yelled. Iron dropped his fist and grabbed Rainbow Dashs arms. The rest of the girls were easily taken. Scorch ordered his men to get Fluttershy and Norman.

"Please be careful! He's hurt!" Fluttershy quietly yelled, being pulled away from norman by a soldier.

"Take them inside. Behemoth will be happy to see our new guests." Scorch ordered. The men complied and grabbed their prisoners. Norman woke up in the men's hold and fought them on reflex. He flipped his attacker over and knocked him to the ground. He punched the other man in the face and grabbed his gun. The group of men pointed their guns at Norman and waited for him to make the wrong move. Bonbon looked at him in fear.

"Norman. Don't..." she pleaded. Norman looked at her stressed face and listened. He dropped the gun and stood there. The two men he attacked punched him in the face and stomach repeatedly. The girls winced and stared in horror at every hit. They punched and punched and punched until Norman started coughing up blood. Scorch decided then that enough was enough.

"Thats enough now. I think he's learned his lesson."

"Behemoths not gonna like that you harmed his guests." Twilight threatened, causing the group to laugh.

"I'm sure we can convince him it was for a good reason." Scorch smiled. The two men brought Norman to the group, putting him side to side with Bonbon. She looked at Norman with worry and hoped he was alright.

The men took their newly acquired prisoners and headed towards the school. They reached the front and saw the mess that used to be the front of the school. Trash cans were on fire and cars were smashed and piled against each other. They stared at the car pile and gulped. They reached the front doors and were pushed inside where they finally saw behemoth in the flesh. He smiled as he looked at his new guests. His smile faltered when he saw Normans bruised up face.

Norman looked at behemoth in fear. He was exactly as he remembered in his dreams. His evil smile and giant form.

"I thought I said not to harm any of our guests?" Behemoth said glaring at his men. They all gulped in fear at his glare. Scorch stepped up and defended his men.

"He knocked down two of my men and attempted to shoot us." Scorch claimed, hoping it was a good enough reason.

"Is this true?" Behemoth growled, staring at Normans face. He looked up at behemoth and slowly nodded his head. Behemoth noticed normans behavior and laughed. He didn't expect his appearance to be that frightening.

"It's like he knew who I was." He thought to himself. He inspected normans face and took in every detail. He had never seen Norman until now, yet he was acting like he met him before. He'd have to deal with this later. He looked up at scorch and waved his hand.

"Take them to the classroom." He ordered. He waved at another man and pointed at Norman.

Scorch nodded and turned to his men. He pointed at the girls and told the men to grab them. They followed his directions and grabbed on to the girls. They struggled in their grasp and tried to break free. None of their efforts worked. Rarity whined about them crushing her arms, but they didn't listen and only squeezed harder.

"Take him to the office. I will talk with him later." He ordered, his men complied and grabbed norman. Bonbon looked at norman with concern. She hoped nothing bad would happen to him. Norman looked back at her and smiled. He gave her a wink before he was grabbed and taken to the office. Bonbon knew that wink from the missions they had together. He had a plan. Bonbon hoped it was a good plan and was taken to the classroom with the girls.

Behemoth walked over to Scorch and congratulated him on his success. Scorch stood straight and saluted Behemoth.

"Walk with me." Behemoth ordered. Scorch complied and followed Behemoth down the hallway. They walked in silence until Behemoth stopped at a door. Behemoth looked at the door and opened it. He saw stairs and proceeded to walk down them. Scorch following behind him. He walked down the stairs and saw behemoth staring at him. He looked around the room and saw old school equipment and a large generator behind his boss. He walked over to Behemoth and looked up at him.

"You've done remarkably well in the short time we've been partners, Scorch."

"I try."

"I can tell you do... that is why I'm promoting you." Behemoth said, solemnly.

"What did you have in mind?" Scorch said, hiding his smile.

"I'm sure you've seen the power I hold inside me?" He asked. Scorch nodded, not sure where this was going.

"How would you like to have power of your own?"


Dodge had quickly travelled through the power lines and entered the city in half an hour. With nowhere but the agency left, he flowed through the lines and went underground. He bypassed the sewers and entered the agency elevator in just a few minutes. His appearance in the elevator set off the sensor and reacted with his electricity. The elevator door closed and started to move down into the agency without dodge pressing any button.

He returned to his normal form and kept his angry face and crossed his arms in frustration. Neo refused to help him after everything he had done for him and his gang. He hoped the agency was doing something to help or else he would go mad. The door opened and he was greeted by a group of agents staring at him.

"Dodge!" Chow exclaimed. Dodge walked around the agents and walked over to chow. He climbed the stairs and was immediately slapped by adagio. The slap took him by surprise and felt the burn on his cheek.

"Are you out of your mind?" Adagio said, loudly. He put his hand on his cheek and caressed it. Adagio gave him a stern look and folded her arms in disapproval.

"You could've gotten yourself killed!"

"You said it yourself, I never should've trusted him." Dodge said.

"I tried to take on behemoth alone and I failed. I know now that I need help, so help me. " Dodge pleaded.

"We know you need help. He has an army, now." Adagio informed dodge, causing his eyes to widen.

"What? How?" He yelled in disbelief.

"Behemoth got some evil criminal gang to join him. They've taken the city hostage and already imprisoned the agents sent to get behemoth." Chow said, floating next to them. He extended both his hands and formally shook hands with dodge and adagio.

"Hi, i'm chow. I don't believe we were properly introduced." Adagio pulled her hand away from chow and glared at him.

"What? Don't do handshakes?" Chow asked, adagio continued glaring and folded her arms.

"I can see you're mad, but look he's fine. He's right here isn't he?" Chow said, trying to lighten up her attitude. Dodge thought about behemoths criminal army and hoped his suspicions weren't true.

"What kind of criminals did behemoth hire?" Dodge asked, chow turned serious and faced dodge.

"The organized kind. They used to work for a guy called, Neo." Chow explained. Dodge immediately looked down and turned towards the wall.

"I was just there." Dodge groaned, lightly punching the wall next to him. Chow raised an eyebrow in interest.

"What do you mean?" Chow asked. Dodge sighed and explained everything.

"I used to be a part of that gang. Adagio knows this."

"Tell me everything you know. Anything that can help us fight them." Chow asked politely.

"I was supposed to be dead, today. I had to steal 3000 from some rich guy and give it to Neo. Instead I gave it to a poor family that needed it." Dodge explained, remembering the mornings events.

"Dodge, we need to know what they're capable of." Chow asked. Dodge nodded and continued.

""If we're lucky, he only has the gang in the city. We got a hundred fifty members in the city." Dodge said, explaining the gang hideouts and strategy. Starlight approached and listened in, while chow was listening intently. Adagio had calmed down and also listened to his information. When he was done, starlight left and prepared more agents to enter the city. She gave the order and a wave of agents zoomed by towards the armory.

"Thanks, dodge. If you hadn't told us this, things could've been a whole lot messier." Chow thanked, relief filling his voice. He shook his hand and dodge accepted without hesitation.

"Anything to take him down." He said solemnly. Chow nodded in agreement and flew off. He directed agents to the armory in preparation. Dodge and adagio were left alone, giving time for them to talk. Dodge looked tat her with worry.

"How's your head?"

"It's fine, now. Chow snapped his fingers and fixed it."

"This chow guy seems pretty strange." Dodge said, Adagio nodded in agreement.

"He reminds me of someone back in my world. I never met him, but he apparently messed with the rulers and was turned to stone for thousand years."

"Geez, sounds rough." Dodge commented. Adagio nodded her head. They watched a group of agents walk by them toward the armory. Dodge wondered how many agents were in the building. He saw their serious faces and could tell they had experience fighting. He wanted to walk, but hesitated. Then adagio started walking with them.

"Where are you going?" Dodge asked.

"I'm not gonna stand here and let behemoth win. I'm going with them."

"You don't have to do that. They have experience."

"Dodge, I've been in more wars than any one should have been in. I know how to take care of myself."

"So what if you know how to shoot a gun or drive a tank. Behemoth is stronger than both those things. You shouldn't risk your life for this. It's my fault you're here, anyway." Dodge said, looking down in sadness.

"Dodge, I'm happy that you brought me back." Adagio said, walking close. Dodge raised his head and looked at adagio in disbelief.

"I might not like this world, but I live in it now. I've been here longer than my life in the other world. This is my home now. I have family to take care of. And I'm not going to stay and watch while the world is at stake. Thank you, dodge. For reminding me." She said, hugging him. Dodge was caught of guard and did nothing for a second before accepting it. He gave in to the hug and accepted it. They stayed for a few seconds until adagio pulled away. She turned and saw the empty hallway into the armory and faced dodge.

"I have to go."

"Me, too. Im getting a head start on you guys. You know where to find me." He said, changing into his electrical form. Oddly enough, nothing negative happened around him. Adagio slowly walked to the armory, still looking at dodge.

"Be careful." She said,

"I will." He promised. Adagio turned and walked through the hallway.

"Adagio!" Dodge yelled. She quickly turned and saw him floating towards a plug in the hall. She stopped and watched as he slipped his arm into the plug and slowly flew in. They said one last goodbye to each other.

"Thanks." Dodge said, truly meaning it. Adagio smiled and nodded her head. She saw dodge disappear into the plug and headed off into the armory. She thought about the threat they faced and hoped things would turn alright in the end.
