SOMEWHERE ELSE, 2:45 pm

Jericho was at his desk, sitting on his chair and looking out the window. That window allowed him to see all of Canterlot City. He had gotten word from one of his men, that three more members of his gang, who were robbing a store have gotten beaten by another masked vigilante, and got taken in by the police. He was not happy knowing that this has been happening for the past three weeks. Nearly everyday his gangs were getting their asses handed to them.

"Bunch of low-life people." He said as got up out of his chair, still looking out the window.

"What makes them think that they can be heroes and not worry about the consequences of their actions?" His train of thought was interrupted by the sound of knocking on the door to his room. "Come in." He replied. A women entered the room with a look on her face that said she had something to say. "Sir, It has come to my attention that, one of our men was spotted and chased by someone last night." The woman said to her boss.

"What?" He replied back to the woman in the room.

"I said that-" She was stopped by Jericho, who raised his hand to stop her from finishing. "I heard what you said. So, another one of those masked heroes was running around and giving us problems again?" Jericho asked while walking over to a counter that had a wine bottle and a couple of glasses. He opened the bottle and pored some into a glass. He sighed not believing that they have another one on their case.

"Well, no sir. They said that they were not wearing a mask, so it was probably just some random civilian who was there at the time being."

Jericho looked out of the window again. "Whether they're with them or not, I do not want another 'hero' in this city, we already have enough as it is." Jericho then looked at the woman."Did they say what the person looked like?” He asked the women.

"Not really sir. All they know is that it was a male and that's it, nothing more."

Jericho began thinking. "Okay, keep an eye on the streets. If you find this guy, deal with him, got it?"

"Yes sir." The woman walked out of the room leaving only Jericho to his thoughts. He took a drink from his glass. "If we don't get rid of this problem, all of this will be for nothing."

CANTERLOT CITY HOSPITAL

BEEP…BEEP…BEEP

Josh woke to the sound of a beeping noise. Slowly opening his eyes, Josh noticed he was lying in a bed. He checked his surroundings, realizing he was hooked up to a heart rate monitor. He was wearing a hospital gown.

“What the hell what hap-OW!” Josh felt a pain in his head.

He traced his hand to his forehead, and felt a bandage wrap around the upper part of his head. Josh was confused. How’d he get here, who brought him here? As he tried to think, he heard a voice call to him.

“Oh good, you're awake.” The doctor said as they were walking towards the bed. “It's a good thing you were brought here. Any longer and you would have suffered massive blood loss.”

Josh looked around for a bit. This wasn’t the first time he had been in a hospital. He had been in hospital a couple of times.. “How do you feel?” The doctor asked.

“Ugh… I feel like I got hit by a semi-truck.” Josh lifted himself up so until he was sitting on the bed. “What happened? How long was I out?” The doctor sighed then looked at the boy. “You were out for… six days.”

“WHAT!?” Josh was shocked at the information he was given. “Six days? I've been out for six days?”

“Yes, but don’t worry,” The doctor began, trying to calm the boy down. “It was just a minor injury, nothing too bad. Like I said, you were lucky that you were brought here so soon. Any later and your injuries would be a lot worse.”

Josh sighed and tried to calm himself down. The doctor was right after all, it could have been a lot worse. “I guess, but how did I get here anyway, Doc?”

“You were lucky someone was around when you were knocked out. They said that they found your body in an alley way and that you were still breathing. If anything, they saved your life.”

"Do you know who they were, Doc?" Josh asked.

"No, not all. I wasn't around during the time. All I heard was that you needed medial attention, that's all."

“Huh.” Josh was surprised. Why would this random stranger go out of their way to help him. Back home, if someone was lying in an alley way, most people would just not care and go on with their lives. Well... not everyone on, but still. “Whoever they are, I owe them one, that’s for sure.” Josh thought.

“Oh, I almost forgot” The doctor said as he was walking towards the door. “A group of people want to see you.” The doctor opened the door, pocking his head outside. “You can come in now, he’s awake.”

The door to the room opened. There, walking in the room were Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and his parents. They all had a look of worry on their faces.

“Oh, my little boy! Are you okay?” His mother said as she wrapped her arms around him.

“I’m fine, mom. Just a little banged up, that’s all.” Josh said to his mother.

Josh’s dad looked at the doctor. “Is he going to be okay Doc?”

“Yes, I think your son is going to be fine.” The doctor then pulled out an X-ray of JT's head. “There is but a tiny fracture to his skull. But if he were not to be brought here sooner, he would have lost a lot of blood then he already had."

Sunset then looked at Josh with concern in her eyes. “When you didn’t show up at school for the past two days, we thought that you were sick or something. But when we heard you were in the hospital, we all got worried.”

“Why?” Josh asked. “I mean, you guys only got a chance to talked to me six days ago?”

“Because, that’s what friends do, darling.” Rarity said with a comforting smile. “Friends are always there for you.”

“Yeah,” Rainbow started. “We weren’t going to just ignore you when you’re down. That’s not what friends do.”

“You see, Josh.” Sunset added. “You can always count on us to be there for you. If you have any problems or anything you need to get off your back, you can come talk to any of us.”

Josh felt happy inside, knowing that Sunset and the others were here for him. He told himself that friends are not there for you, but maybe it was different here. He thought maybe he was given a second chance. So he decided to take this opportunity and looked at the seven girls in front of him. “Thank guys, I appreciate it.”

The seven girls had a smile on each of their faces. Josh quickly turned his attention towards his parents. They too had smiles on their faces, knowing that their son has made some new friends. However, there was one question on their minds.

“Um… just one thing.” Applejack said with a confused look as everyone looked at the farm girl. “Who brought you here to the hospital?”

Everyone had the same expression as they all looked at Josh, hoping for an answer. “The doctor said someone was around and found me lying on the ground and took me here, other than that I don’t know.”

"Well who ever they are, that was very nice of them to help." His father said with his mother nodded in response. “I agree. It goes to show that not everyone is a cold and heartless person in this world."

Sunset was thinking about who saved her friend's life.

“What’cha thinking sugarcube?” Applejack whispered to Sunset.

“I'm trying to think of who saved Josh.” Sunset said. "I mean, it couldn't have been us. Last time we saw him was when he got called to Vice Principle Luna's office. And no one really knows about him except us."

Applejack put a hand on Sunset's shoulder. “Maybe they were just trying to be nice. Ever thought of that? For now, let's just be glad Josh is fine, okay?"

Sunset then nodded. "Yeah, I guess you're right, Applejack. That's all that matters right now."

“What are you guys talking about?” Pinkie said, interrupting Sunset and Applejack’s conversation.

“Nothing, Pinkie. We were just talking, that’s all.” Sunset said to the hyper-active girl.

“Okie-dokie-lokie!” Pinkie said as she skipped to chat with the others. After a while of talking. The doctor came back in the room. “Okay, we checked to see if anything else was wrong, but it seems you’re going to be fine. Just take it easy for a while, okay?”

‘Yeah, sure doc.” Josh replied. “I’ll try to take it easy.”

The doctor nodded. “Good, now we’ll just check you out and you can leave whenever you're ready.”

After Josh was finally checked out and able to head home, he grabbed his belongings, said goodbye to his friends, and road home with his parents. During the trip home, his mother spoke up.

“So you finally made some friends, I’m happy for you, Joshua. But why were you in the hospital?” She asked. Josh didn’t want to tell his parents that the reason he was in the hospital because he was chasing down some thief. Who robbed a store, ran in traffic, and jumped from rooftop to rooftop trying to get back what the robber stole. So he decided to make up something.

“Well you see, I was walking home and these guys jumped me. There were three of them and I tried to defend myself, but one of them hit me on the head and knocked me out.” Josh said, hoping his mother wouldn’t know he was lying.

“Well, just try and be more careful, okay? There are some fights you can’t win.”

“Okay Mom, I’ll try.” Josh said as looked at his feet.

After driving through the city, they arrived at Aunt April’s house. Once inside, Aunt April hugged Josh until he felt like his back was going to give out. After an hour, Josh went to have a nice relaxing shower and went into his cousin’s room to get some well needed rest. He stripped down to his boxers and plopped on the bed. He checked his phone to see that it was 2:23 AM.

“Man, after what happened the past few days, I think I deserve some time to relax all by myself.” Josh closed his eye and waited to be taken to dreamland.

SOMEWHERE INSIDE A BUILDING ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE CITY

There were a group of people, both male and female. Some were talking, watching television, playing arcade games and some were just relaxing on some couches. Three figures were sitting at a table, two males and one female. They were playing a game of poker. One of the males looked at the other one with a curious look.

“Alright Jax," He started, getting the man's attention. "Tell us what you did to Jericho's men at that store again?” he asked.

Jax put his cards down and looked at the guy across from him. “Well, thank god I got there in time. The poor store clerk was about to get a bullet to the brain. Once I got inside, one of them walked up to me and told me to 'fuck off' so I grabbed his pistol and knocked his ass out with my bat. Then I threw my bat at one of the other assholes, knocked him out too and *chuckles* I swear I could've heard his nose break. Then the last one ran up to me and tried to kill me, but I grabbed him and threw him into one of the freezer doors and shattered them. He then pulled an SMG on me. Long story short, I whooped their asses, got a snack and a drink, and left.”

“That seems all well and fun, but,” The female said, looking at Jax. “Can we get back to our Poker game? Because I think I'm going to beat your guy's asses.” She said as she had a confident smile on her face.

The male let a small chuckle. “We'll see about that.”

They continued their little poker game for while until...“Yes! Royal Flush!" The female cheered as she won. Both boys put their cards down.

“Damn it!” They both said. She started laughing. “Read it and weep, boys.” She then looked at Jax. “You mind taken me home, Jax?”

Jax sighed and got up from his chair. “Yeah sure, why not.” He looked at the other male. “I'll be back, okay. I still want that rematch on the arcade games.”

The male then nodded to Jax. “Oh don't worry, I'll be waiting for you to come back so I can kick your ass again.” He chuckled.

Both Jax and the female walked out of the building and walked to Jax's car. “This is a nice ride, Jax.” The female said as she placed her hand on the hood of the vehicle.

“Yep, it's a nice ride alright.” Jax said, looking at his car. He got into his car as the female got into the passenger seat. Jax started the car up and drove onto the road towards the female's home. While driving, the female turned the radio on. Soon music started to play. During the drive, the female looked at Jax. "Man, I bet we get under Jericho's skin with the stuff we do to him and his gang, huh?" She asked.

Jax let out a small chuckle. “Yeah we sure do, but...” Jax said the last word with uncertainty.

“But, what?” The female asked.

Jax let out a small sigh. “It's just that... I know we have a nice group to keep the streets safe from Jericho, but... I feel like it's not enough, no matter what we do. It feels like. He just keeps recruiting more men and women to join each and every day.” Jax said as his grip on the wheel tightened.

The female put her hand on Jax's leg. He then looked at her for a bit. “Don't worry, Jax. We'll get through this. Someday, Jericho and his gang will be stopped.”

Jax sighed again and looked at the female. “I know, someday, that day will happen.” After awhile, they finally came up to the female's home. It was an apartment building that was ten stories up.

“Well here we are, home sweet home.” Jax said as he and his female partner got out of the car and walked up the steps. Once they were at the the double glass door, leading into the lobby, they looked at each other. “Well, I guess you'll be coming back sometime tomorrow?" He asked her.

The female then let out a light chuckle. “Well... I was wondering.” She leaned in closer to Jax, putting her hand on his chest and whispered in his ear. “Maybe you can come inside and we can have some time to ourselves?” She asked in a seductive manner. “Come on, Jax. You know it's been awhile since we've been alone. Just the two of us.” Jax looked into the female's eyes. Gleaming in the night sky, a smirk formed his face.

“I guess so.” He planted a kiss on her lips and she kissed back. Soon after said kiss, the female looked at Jax.

“This time, I'm on top.” She said as she walked in through the doors.

Jax let out a small chuckle. “I wouldn't have any other way, Spitfire.” He soon followed Spitfire into the apartment building, where they can have some 'alone time'.
