Power People Metropolis Last Defenseby Nightmarity19ChaptersChapter 1 ReunionChapter 2 InformationChapter 3 MayhemChapter 4 UndergroundChapter 5 AnswersChapter 1 ReunionUnity is strength...when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved ~Mattie J.T. Stepanek. Vehicles of all kinds entered the rooms as the 6 girls stepped out their and took their individual seats awaiting for Princess Celestia's arrival. "Why is she always late?" Twilight asked looking at her watch. But as soon as she looked back up, Celestia arrived and stood in the middle of the room. "Hello everyone welcome to your new HQ it's 15 stories of heaven on earth," Celestia began. "Huh it's amazing what you can do with just a wave of your finger and a few billion dollars," Dash admired the construction of their headquarters. "So we're an official team?" Spike asked. "Yes I was asked to create a team to stop Kate Taiga's band of most wanted criminals," Tia said. "So with this Kate person does she have some kind of grudge against you or something like that?" Applejack asked next. Celestia let out a low sigh to signal the country girl to not say anything else about that. "Now fortunately this base can be used for battle tactics as well housing your super suits," Celestia explained showing 6 pods with all the suits from Masked Matterhorn to Saddle Rager. Everyone looked in awe, mostly Twilight who couldn't believe her suit was first. "Princess since mine is 1st does that make me the team leader?" Twilight questioned, wondering if Tia picked her as the head honcho of the Power People. Celestia gave a gentle nod to say no before explaining that she wants everyone to participate, not just one person doing nothing while the other teammates do the dirty work. After Tia explained Dash along with everyone else understood what had to be done. "Now for your first mission I received an SOS message from a Lunar Base downtown but something was questioned in that signal," Celestia said thinking something isn't right. "You think it might be a trap?" Fluttershy asked a possible outcome. "Maybe but I can't be too sure," Celestia replied. Twilight got out first then Rarity. "Alright guys we got our first mission as a team so let's suit up and ride the jet downtown," Twilight said. Everyone nodded then went into the tubes that dropped each one of them down put their super suit on and land in the skinny 16 ton jet Spike constructed himself with Celestia's help of course. Once everyone was strapped in Spike opened the hatch, turned on the engine lifting it above ground before shifting it to driving mode and flying through Metropolis. Fluttershy looked outside in amazement considering she hates flying in any fashion whether it's a helicopter or a commercial airline plane but this time she was comfortable with Spike driving. "How close are we to our intended target?" Dash asked ready to drop down for the element of surprise. "We're about 2 kilometers from the target," Spike replied looking at the sonar device near some switches. Twilight did some last minute checks on her weapons just in case they fired what she used and not what it wanted. "So Fluttershy what were you doing in Ohio?" Rarity asked, wanting to start a conversation. "Oh I was studying nuclear science for an environmental program at least that was I wanted to do until that shadowbolt Nighthawk had a SWAT on me while vacationing in Rio," Shy explained. "I see," Rarity said seeming to increasingly intrigued. Their conversation would end when a holograph version of Tia showed up. "What's going on Celestia?" Pinkie asked getting close. Applejack backed the party girl back just a little so everyone could see her too. "The SOS was sent about 12AM early next morning until a problem with communications posed a problem so far all we know someone was there and had intentions," Tia explained about her findings. "You know anyone at that base other than Luna?" Rarity asked. "The only other person who was present at the base was Spitfire so you may able to talk to her just to get a general idea of what's going on," Celestia suggested. "Ok princess we will get on that and contact you should the need arise," Twilight replied. Celestia nodded and the hologram turned off. "We're here," Spike announced, finding a safe place to land. Twilight stepped out first then her friends followed close behind. "Where to now sugarcube?" Applejack asked looking around. "I'll go find us a way in," Pinkie said zooming around to find an entrance. "While Pinkie is looking for an entrance way I think this is a perfect time to see if our culprit left any clues lying around," Twilight thought now was a good time to check on clues. Everyone agreed to do so all of them searched the area around the base for anything helpful. Dash found some torn tapestry paper with half of the moon on it. I wonder where this came from? Dash thought. Pinkie searched high and low for some kind of entrance but as she went to search, Spitfire happened to be in her path even though something wasn't right. "Hey Spitfire you ok? You look pale," Pinkie said concerned. Spitfire happened to have 2 bite marks on her neck and fangs extended that signaled she was hungry for blood. "Uh oh," Pinkie said. She came at the same speed as Pinkie but she avoided a claw attack only to unleash a wicked good kick in the face knocking Spitfire through the Lunar Base, causing Twilight to run over to her until she saw what just made that hole and Spitfire flat on the wooden floor. Dash, Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy walked over as well. "Well we don't have to worry about going in," Dash said trying to make a joke when it clearly isn't funny to everyday else. "Come on," Fluttershy said walking through the hole Pinkie made. The others followed Shy into this dark part of the base so Twi activated a light function in her suit so they can all see what or where that SOS laid. "This place doesn't sit well with me Twilight I'm scared," Fluttershy said shivering. "It's ok Shy I'm here," Twilight reassured her friend with a smile. The front part was in shambles with broken computers and bodies laid in chairs or on the floor. "Looks like someone was here," Applejack assumed from what she could see. I think it was odd for Spitfire to have two bite marks on her neck when she attacked me," Pinkie recalled. Rarity stopped and looked over to Spitfire noticing bite marks deep in her neck. Twilight scanned those marks so Spike could analyze later on today. Applejack grabbed some rope then with Dash's help, tied up Spitfire tightly so she wouldn't escape. "That should keep her out of our hair for a while or at least till we find a way to change her back to what she was before becoming this...thing," Twilight said sharply. The others agreed. "You all go on ahead and I'll keep Spitfire entertained," Pinkie said willing to stay behind. "Are you certain darling?" Rarity asked skeptical. Pinkie shook her head smiling brightly and giving her friends a thumbs up. "Ok be careful and don't fall for any tricks she may try to pull," Applejack warned. "I'll be alright," Pinkie said. Twilight and the others left the party girl with Spitfire who was still tied up. They went deeper into the Base unknowing of what kind of horrors that may surface. Still, Twilight was determined to find out who sent that SOS distress signal to lend them here. Dash looked around a weapons/war room where chess players portraying battle tactics and map of Metropolis laid but something was odd, looking at the map closely. On what looked like the city wrote word play smeared in fresh blood. Bloody Mary Has Risen Applejack took a peak at it as well and was appealed with she started at. "What do you suppose it means RD?" Applejack asked turning to face Dash. "To be honest this could be anything at this but isn't Bloody Mary an urban legend or something?" Dash questioned not believing she's real at all. "She is but this is fresh blood meaning Mary may have been here before," Applejack replied. Dash ran her finger up on the blood then sniffed it, giving on assumption that it was recent. Twilight noticed an open coffin near the kitana right below Luna's portrait. "What is this doing here?" Fluttershy asked inspecting it further. "Dunno but I can tell you it might have something to do with Spitfire having bite marks," Twilight stated. Fluttershy blinked. "Shy the only thing capable of producing bite marks and causing Spitfire to attack one of our teammates is a blood sucking night walker," Twilight concluded. Dash and Applejack joined up with their friends. "Did you find any clues?" Twilight asked. "Yea we did; on the map of Metropolis someone scrawled Bloody Mary Has Risen in fresh blood," Applejack replied. "We think it might be a night walker," Twilight said. "Don't you mean vampire?" Dash corrected. Twilight was slightly annoyed that she was interrupted and corrected. Rarity came out from the computer control center with a folder of important classified documents. "Where did we find those?" Dash asked wondering how Rarity got those without being discovered. "They were just sitting there baiting me to take them and well I gave in and plus it can aid us about who sent that distress signal," Rarity explained. Twilight nodded in intriguing face at Rarity's thirst for information. They all headed back to Pinkie who still had Spitfire tied up despite awakening after being kicked hard by the pink speedster. Huh, I guess she wasn't kidding when she said it was all handled Twilight was thoroughly impressed. Soon enough the band of heroes walked out and into the jet, being greeted by Spike who smiled at them as they came aboard. "So did you find who gave that distress signal?" Spike asked flipping his sliding chair to face them. "We have found some classified documents; a threatening sentence and some other things we need to look into further; think we're ready?" Twilight questioned being right for the job. "Yep," Spike answered turning his chair away from them and to the switches. He pressed the ignition which started it up the engine before flying off. A woman with dirty dark red hair wearing a low top and skinny jeans looked up at the jet taking off and stared up at Masked Matterhorn aka Twilight very closely licking her lips. I will get her to be mine the woman said. Chapter 2 InformationReturning back to their HQ Dash put the image of what she found in that war room scribbled in someone's blood. "Hmm it looks like the victim was decapitated then had his blood smeared all over to create the message Rainbow saw," Spike elaborated. "Is this Bloody Mary real?" Fluttershy asked. "No she's an urban legend that she lured young girls into her home so she could kill them and drained their blood to stay young forever," Twilight said explaining the story of Bloody Mary. "Yea and if you say her name 3 times she'll come through any mirror to kill you," Dash added in. Fluttershy gulped hard, whimpering to herself at what Dash just said to her. Applejack rolled her eyes. "Don't worry Shy we're safe; all we need is figure out who sent that distress call," Applejack said reassuringly. Meanwhile, Rarity and Pinkie in their normal clothes sat in the coffee shop enjoying some Gingerbread lattes while talking about how things have been doing. "So you went to go see Bruce Wayne?" Pinkie asked gleefully and eager. "Not yet Pinkie; Bruce told me in a few days I can come to Gotham to help him with a clothing line he has in mind for me," Rarity explained taking another sip of the latte. "Still that must be cool to work with a big top millionaire like him," Pinkie praised her friend. Rarity gave a slight nod and both girls exchanged giggles. The warm sensation abruptly ended with an ear piercing scream which prompted those two to run towards what happened. Pinkie could see a man on the ground clutching at his neck to point out that he was attacked by something. "I'll get him to a hospital," Pinkie instructed seeing as how she could get this man to medical personnel quicker. Rarity gave a quick nod and went to follow the blood trail keeping her guard up. Appearing from above and coming down were what looked like night walkers wearing torn up clothes and drawing swords ready to attack. "You wanna offer me a dance? How lovely," Rarity said sarcastically as she drew her twin battle axes. The warriors charged at Rarity trying to slash at her but failed as the fashionista avoided every attack, even tossing one axe at a warrior's head causing him to fizzle into nothing more than dust. "Whoa," Rarity said blocking another attack and kneeing him in the chin knocking his teeth out as well as out cold. The last one tried to sneak attack Rarity but she back punched him, stopping his incoming strike dead. "For warriors you guys are amateurs," Rarity said coldly picking up one of her axes from the ground. Examining it further it did have blood on the tip, the thing that got Rarity thinking was a simple fact these warriors were looking for someone but the question was: Who? Pinkie returned minutes later and saw the wreckage of what her friend just did. "So it seems that you had a fun time," Pinkie assumed looking at the three semi knocked out bodies. "Yes these fine gentleman decided to dance with me so I followed their lead," Rarity said in a joking tone. Pinkie giggled at that comment. Rarity walked out with her party speedster friend to head back to Headquarters. The same woman walked out of the darkness, surveying what Rarity just did to those warriors. She killed the other 2 with no hesitation and with an expressionless, emotionless blank face. "I instruct you to find Masked Matterhorn not fight a heroine and expect yourself a victory," she said. That was until she spotted a picture of who she was looking for alongside Rarity aka Radiance. "Looks like I know my goal," The woman rubbed a single finger around Twilight's cheek. The elevator's bell to signal Rarity and Pinkie had arrived. "So did you two enjoyed a day at the coffee shop?" Applejack asked wondering. "Yes it was amazing except that some night walkers warriors were looking for you," Rarity responded. Twilight blinked a few times trying to understand what her friend just said just now. "Me? What do they want with me?" Twilight said confused and embarrassed. "That's odd," Dash said trying her best not to laugh at her friend. Twilight wanted to know why some deranged psychopath night walker with her minus blood. "Anyway did you find out any information in those documents I found?" Rarity asked changing the subject. "We did and from the contents of it was very unsettling at the very least," Spike started, showing the picture of crucification and blood draining into a large bathtub with a naked woman sitting there. "You were right Spike this is very unsettling...or at least for me," Fluttershy said in response to Spike's caution. "Wait I happen to catch a glimpse of that woman sitting in that bathtub when I was passing by to take someone to the hospital to get treatment for his injuries," Pinkie explained pointing out who was saw. "Who might you think could it be Pinkie?" Applejack asked seeing that she may be in the right path. "That could be Bloody Mary we've been looking for that probably sent that distress signal to lure us into a trap," Pinkie said. Everyone looked at her because she had never made sense in her life until now. "Wow Pinkie that was actually smart I'm proud of you," Dash gave her pink friend a pat on the back. She smiled. That following night Twilight took a nice shower with some classical music playing. She washed her hair with shampoo and conditional to give her hair that beautiful glow. She heard a noise somewhere in the other room so Twilight put on her role and went downstairs to investigate what made that noise. Twilight walked slowly downstairs, being cautious of whatever decided to enter the base. She went into the kitchen area to see Pinkie making herself a sandwich and got frightened when she saw Twilight holding a flashlight. "Oh hey Twi sorry if I woke you up," Pinkie apologized. "No need I thought Bloody was in here and I would teach her how invaders are treated," Twilight said cracking her knuckles. Pinkie chuckled, finishing making her sandwich then headed back to her room leaving Twilight with a smile. "She is such a good friend eh Twilight?" Mary asked appearing out of the shadows revealing herself. "I knew you were here which leads to another question I have, what do you want from me?" Twilight asked in an demanding tone. Bloody chuckled and snapped her fingers having an unnatural force pushing Twilight to a wall. She kissed her deeply before fading into darkness leaving Twilight stunned and very still from the sudden kiss. Twilight stood on the wall for a couple of minutes before heading back to her room to sleep this off and hopefully be alright tomorrow morning. Bloody watched from the balcony of another building smirking seeing that she enjoyed her lip locking with Twilight a few moments ago. Chapter 3 MayhemZapp flew above the city looking down to spot any kind of trouble whether it be big or small. So far nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary so she finished patrolling, she came back home then took off her super suit into normal street clothes. Twilight came out of her bedroom yawning and stretching her arms out. "Good morning everyone," Twilight greeted in between yawns. "Morning Twilight," Her friends said in unison and sitting at the table having waffles. Dash was the only one just having cereal and blueberry Pop tarts this morning. "So Twilight darling did you sleep well?" Rarity asked happily. "Oh I slept fine except for the fact that somebody decided to pretend she is a lawnmower all night," Twilight hissed stared at Dash. "Hey I can't help it if my snoring is loud ok? My body is starting to get used to this place," Dash defended herself. "I saw how your apartment looked and my goodness it looks like a tornado blew through it," Rarity added making Dash want to shock her so much she would have a heart attack. "I get it! My house is a mess ok? I'm not clean and organized like you all," Dash said blaming no one but herself. "Now y'all listen here! Princess Celestia didn't put us together just so we can bicker at each other like old ladies debating over political issues. We are a team now and we need to act like one or else this world will end in mayhem," Applejack interjected into a possible argument between Rarity and Dash, something AJ didn't like. Rarity and Dash looked at each other with ashamed looks. "Now you two apologize to each other," Applejack commanded. "I'm sorry," Rarity and Rainbow Dash apologized to one another. Applejack smiled at the result of her speech. "Wow AJ that was one amazing speech," Fluttershy said impressed. "Thanks Shy I created it myself," Applejack thanked Shy for appreciating what she said others wouldn't. "I should apologize too cause I was the one who started this whole argument," Twilight said feeling guilty. Applejack gave the go ahead to do so. "Rainbow I'm sorry," Twilight apologized. Dash came over and hugged her as a way to accept her apology before returning back to where she was sitting down. "So this Bloody Mary was in the coffee shop? Any word from any news source about her whereabouts?" Fluttershy added. "I checked all potential sources and all of them have come up with nothing except one news panel from FOX even we all despise that branch of journalism," Spike explained. They all nodded in agreement of hating FOX News or anything that has something to do with them. "Despite why we hate FOX please elaborate for us Spike about what they said darling," Rarity said wanting Spike to explain in more detail. "They claimed that Bloody was spotted at a nightclub last night and likely going to be there again performing a song," Spike explained what he saw on that newscast. "Ok that's a start; me and Applejack will head there as guests and investigate and bring back any findings to you guys," Twilight planned out. "Hold on are you sure Applejack can handle a nightclub?" Rarity said doubtful. "I am perfectly safe with Twilight and I can handle nightclubs,' Applejack responded sharply. Spike nodded and handed them ear piece communicators to keep in touch with them. "Good idea Spike," Dash said congratulating him for thinking ahead. "So in the meantime we'll head to that Lunar Base from before and see if we can find another clue that we missed," Rarity suggested. "Wait what about Spitfire?" Pinkie asked. "I checked on her last night and she says that she'll have a talk with me about what happened to her that lead to what Pinkie saw," Fluttershy said next. I forgot Shy took Psychology in college as a minor so that could come in handy Dash thought. "Ok we all know what we're doing tonight," Twilight said making sure everyone understood what was going on. Everyone nodded in agreement. Meanwhile Bloody Mary stood above the city admiring what human beings meant in this world. A slight smirk escaped her face knowing that tonight when she sings all those people will find her irresistible. Including Masked Matterhorn if she ever showed up with a friend. "Do I really have to wear this?" Applejack asked in protest. "Yes if you want inside that nightclub you have to look the part," Rarity replied. What AJ was wearing a strapless dress with fishnets along with her traditional cowgirl hat. "Now see Applejack darling you look absolutely beautiful and club ready," Rarity complemented. "My mother would be scolding me right now if she me in this ridiculous getup," Applejack said strapping on her cowgirl boots. "In this sense I'm sure this is appropriate for our task at hand right now," Twilight said showing off her cutoff jeans and halter top and long black heeled boots. "Whoa," Applejack and Rarity said in unison. "What?" Twilight asked confused at that reaction. "Twilight you look amazing," Applejack said before Rarity who was lost for words. "Well you two should head out before it's too late," Rarity reminded them guiding those two to the garage. "I'll be with AJ so make sure you and Spike are hooked on to our communications," Twilight reminded Rarity. "Sure," Rarity replied with a smile. Applejack and Twilight entered in the car before driving off to the nightclub to began their mission. "You think they'll be fine?" Twilight asked worried. Applejack nodded. Fluttershy took the elevator down to the holding chambers and walked down a few cells until she reached Spitfire's who was sitting on the far side staring at the shy brute. "So I'm guessing your going to be the one who wants an explanation about what happened in that Lunar Base?" Spitfire guessed. "Yes tell me all you know," Shy replied with a pen and a paper ready to record notes. "So it all started with the other guards daring each other to stand in front of a damn mirror and say Bloody Mary 3 times. The only problem was the lights went out, that woman killed every guard that desperately tried to escape but met with death; some more severe than the next," Spitfire started to explain. "Uh huh," Fluttershy said listening and recording every word that was spoken. "She bit me in the neck as you saw and turned me into the instrument of war," Spitfire continued to explain the events at the Lunar Base. "Anything else you remember about that day?" Fluttershy asked hoping to get some information she missed. "She did mention about raising an army of night walkers and have them fight for her to take over Metropolis," Spitfire recalled. "Other than that I don't know anything else." Fluttershy wrote last minute notes and walked over to the plexi glass that had holes in specific places. "Thanks for your help," Fluttershy said smiling. Spitfire shared a secret kiss with the shy brute before Shy left to get on the elevator. Applejack parked the car in a parallel parking situation before getting out with Twilight. They stopped to get in line, as soon as they got inside the nightclub; it was exactly as Applejack feared. Booze, horny teenagers and worst of all drugs not counting the countless strippers some of which who were topless. "She'd better be here because this is not my cup of tea," Applejack said feeling uncomfortable. "Don't worry if someone offers you a drink don't do it," Twilight cautioned Applejack about date rape cases. It didn't take long for the strippers to let Mary have the floor to perform a song while they danced. Twilight took a seat in the middle and AJ took one beside her. "What do you think her voice sounds like? My money is that she'll sound like Adele or Carrie Underwood," Applejack whispered to her friend. "I don't think it will be that simple my friend. We will hush and listen," Twilight replied. Mary cleared her throat and began to sing a soothing sexual tone that made the strippers dance along to Mary's tone of voice. Twilight was hypnotized by just hearing this wonderful song Bloody Mary was performing. "Twi this sounds pretty good I guess she could have a career in music," Applejack joked. She noticed Twilight was too deep into the song to pay attention to what Applejack just said. "Twilight?" Applejack called out shaking her with no luck. Mary held out out her hand for Twilight to join her on stage and she did willingly. Applejack didn't like the way this was going so she activated a sonic EMP sound device in one of her boots to emit a high pitch ear shattering sound wave causing everyone in the club to cover their ears breaking Mary's trance she had on them. Twilight shook her head to notice Mary had vanished again but left a black rose behind her. "You ok Twilight?" Applejack asked concerned. Twilight nodded with a bit of head problems like she was run over by a truck. "Hey guys did you get something at the club?" Rarity asked over the communicators. "Yea we got a black rose," Applejack replied. "A symbol for a dying love for someone in the vampire night walker community," Twilight mumbled to herself. "You say something Twilight? I didn't quite hear that; you may have to speak up darling," Rarity instructed from Twilight to understand what she was saying. "Oh it's nothing Rarity I meant it's just a way people show affection towards each other," Twilight lied. "Alright darling just come back to HQ so we can have a look see," Rarity suggested. "Yea we're on our way," Applejack said walking out with Twilight following close behind. That thought she had of her almost being turned into a night walker couldn't leave her mind even on the ride back home. To think...Mary almost turned me, I wonder what that felt like Twilight wondered looking out the window. Applejack became increasingly worried about Twilight's decisions lately but she couldn't judge her friend based upon what sort of actions that were placed upon her. Dash looked all around the Lunar Base but found nothing new, Pinkie wasn't having much luck as well. "Find anything yet Pinkie?" Dash asked hoping the speedster found something. "Actually I did, come look," Pinkie gestured Dash to where she is. They both looked at a old photo of Bloody Mary standing alongside a person who looked identically like Twilight except for the hair. "Hey Dash not to alarm you but does this person standing beside Mary looks like Twilight to you?" Pinkie asked handing the picture to Rainbow. She took on quick glance and handed it back to Pinkie. "That looks too real to not be Twilight," Dash replied blankly. "We'd better get to the others and quickly," Pinkie said. Dash used her lightning transport to have them return to Headquarters. Fluttershy just got off the elevator. Chapter 4 UndergroundEveryone sat down in a circular table as a hologram version of Princess Celestia came up. "How goes with the search for Bloody Mary?" Tia asked eager to see what everyone had found. "Well I interviewed Spitfire she told me the night guards were messing around and dared each other to summon Bloody Mary in the first place along with how she bit her thus turning her into a night walker," Fluttershy started off reading notes she gathered from Spitfire. Celestia began to gain interest into Shy's findings being that she's supposed to the brute of this team. "As for me and Dash we found an old photograph of Mary standing next to a Twilight lookalike and we still need to analyze this as well," Pinkie said holding the picture up so Tia can see it. "Interesting, now I have some news to report so I need you all to pay attention," Celestia commanded. The 6 super heroines each sat down in their chairs to pay attention to what Tia had to say to them. "Bloody Mary and her band of night walkers are planning to start an attack on the city...if they are not stopped then our world will be doomed," Celestia explained. "How many are we talking here?" Dash asked. "Probably in the hundreds maybe in thousands; I need you all to go underground to stop them from reaching our way of life and making it destructive," Tia guessed the number of night walkers Mary has at her disposal. No one was more prepared than these 6 they all nodded in agreement for this mission for this would be the biggest challenge in history. "We are all counting on you Power Heroes; make our city proud," Celestia said before ending the transmission. Spike was in the jet as he set his jet to underground where it looked like a high powered drilling tool that will tunnel through anything in it's path. The girls arrived in their seats fully suited up and ready to get this over with. "Ok what's our objective Tia?" Spike asked wanting to know what they're main goal is for this underground battle. "Eliminate the night walkers and Bloody Mary before they reappear on the surface," Celestia said. Spike nodded. Everyone fastened their seat belts in, knowing this is going to be a short but bumpy ride. "Um Twilight your not at all shocked someone looks exactly like you next to Mary," Fluttershy said wondering. "This won't have any impact on me because this ends now. I'm tired of all her games and a sudden kiss she gave me; this time I am going to end her myself," Twilight proclaimed putting on her goggles. "Spoken like a true super heroine," Dash mumbled to herself smiling. Spike activated the underground drilling function and once that was turned on, it nosedived into the ground rumbling about making Rarity turn green in the face. Applejack handed Radiance a barf bag that she used 12 times. "Everything ok back there?" Spike asked looking back using his mirror to look behind him. "Yes everything's fine just Radiance over here having underground sickness that's all," Applejack replied. "Oh ok," Spike said returning back to his control panel. Going deeper until the jet stopped abruptly causing everyone to fall forward even the pilot. "I guess we're here," Fluttershy said struggling to stand upright. Spike activated a fail safe that shook the jet free and shifted back to it's original function. "Alright good but now-" A blaring alarm interrupted what Twilight was going to say. Flying night walkers fired blasts on to the jet causing to shake and rattle. "Everyone hang on!" Spike yelled trying to gain control. That's when Twilight flew out from the bottom hatch to deal with those night walkers. "What is she doing?" Dash asked angrily. Flying over some, she fired repulsors at them clipping one of their wings causing a fall to his death. The last two went for a double attack but Twilight stopped them before firing her repulsors, reducing them to dust. "Wow she seems more focused than normal," Rarity noticed. Twilight came back inside smiling at the display she just put on for her friends. "Twi that was more amazing than wrangling loose cattle and sending them back home," Applejack said quoting a metaphor. "Thanks you guys but now's not the time for celebration because we have to deal with Bloody Mary," Twilight stated staying focused on the task. "Roger that," Spike replied landing the jet on a clearing before letting everyone else off. "Be sure to blast any flying night walkers that happen to pass you by," Rarity said to Spike. He took that into consideration then flew up to do cover air travel just in case more decided to show up. Twilight and the others entered a Victorian style castle; the main foyer had tarps on the walls of Mary's symbol which was blood drips ripped up. "Well I must say I do love her choice in decor," Rarity admired. "There is no time to bask in her glorious tarps Rarity we need to find her," Applejack said annoyed. Mary came from across the hall with her guards standing by her side. "Well, well, well it would seem that the Heroes of Metropolis have entered my home," Bloody said in a joking yet cold tone. Her followers attacked the heroes but were pushed back by Fluttershy's brute strength coming as a real factor as she bulldozed her way to Bloody Mary; she went to punch her, Mary grabbed her fist then pushed her into a boatload of guards and some of the remaining team members. Dash went up in the air to unleash an thunderstorm shocking those night walkers. Mary escaped but Masked Matterhorn was hot on her heels, wanting to catch up so she wouldn't make it above ground to cause murder and mayhem all over Metropolis. She attempted to escape but was met with a tackle by Matterhorn, stopping whatever spell she was trying to perform. "You never give you do you mi amor?" Mary asked speaking a little French. Snapping her fingers and made twin swords appear in both hands smirking evilly. "i say bring it on!" Twilight proclaimed gesturing her to fight her. Mary jumped up and brought her swords down even when Twi used her arm to block it. She broke the hold and kicked the night walker in the cheek hard; sending her up in air which gave Twilight an opportunity to jump up and repeatedly kick Mary's stomach before one final kick rocketed Bloody Mary into the ground smashing it in two as Twilight landed gracefully. "Last chance to give up Bloody," Twilight warned. Bloody rushed Twilight into a kiss that she held, tongue kissing her until Twilight eventually gave in before breaking the kiss. "I knew you couldn't resist me forever," Mary said moving Twi's hair to side attempting to bite. Making a slight growl she felt a repulsor blast in her chest as she stared at her chest that was chared then back at Masked Matterhorn. "Checkmate," Matterhorn said winking. Mary fell backwards into the Earth's crust until she was engulfed by flames or molten lava as Twilight looked down then turned away to return to her teammates. Dash zapped the last group of night walkers until for some reason they suddenly turned into dust unexpectedly. "So I guess we won?" Pinkie guessed. "Yea and now we should head back to higher ground," Twilight said. They all left the castle and got on the jet as Fluttershy watched as the castle collapsed causing a big boom which helped the jet return to the surface safely, then jet landed at Headquarters safely. "Whoa I wasn't expecting that explosion to give us a catapult back home," Dash said. "Well at least we got out of there," Applejack said next reassuringly. Twilight looked at the photo Spike found with someone looking like her was actually her mother. "Spike I have something I have to do, I'll be back ok?" Twilight said. Spike nodded. Twilight's wings activated when she flew in the air and adjusted the navigation to her mother's house. Chapter 5 AnswersTwilight entered her mother's house with no incident but upon entering the house; the way it looked was in shambles with glass everywhere. She spotted her mother unconscious but laying beside her, Twilight picked up green hair that didn't sit well with a guess she had. "No way," Twilight said. Whoever did this wasn't about to just sit idly by and watch Metropolis become safe. A woman with long green hair looked through a broken window spied on Matterhorn assessing the damage caused some unknown assailant. "Don't worry Matterhorn we will meet again and this time you won't ruin my plans for Metropolis," It was clear now who the true monster was.
Chapter 1 ReunionUnity is strength...when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved ~Mattie J.T. Stepanek. Vehicles of all kinds entered the rooms as the 6 girls stepped out their and took their individual seats awaiting for Princess Celestia's arrival. "Why is she always late?" Twilight asked looking at her watch. But as soon as she looked back up, Celestia arrived and stood in the middle of the room. "Hello everyone welcome to your new HQ it's 15 stories of heaven on earth," Celestia began. "Huh it's amazing what you can do with just a wave of your finger and a few billion dollars," Dash admired the construction of their headquarters. "So we're an official team?" Spike asked. "Yes I was asked to create a team to stop Kate Taiga's band of most wanted criminals," Tia said. "So with this Kate person does she have some kind of grudge against you or something like that?" Applejack asked next. Celestia let out a low sigh to signal the country girl to not say anything else about that. "Now fortunately this base can be used for battle tactics as well housing your super suits," Celestia explained showing 6 pods with all the suits from Masked Matterhorn to Saddle Rager. Everyone looked in awe, mostly Twilight who couldn't believe her suit was first. "Princess since mine is 1st does that make me the team leader?" Twilight questioned, wondering if Tia picked her as the head honcho of the Power People. Celestia gave a gentle nod to say no before explaining that she wants everyone to participate, not just one person doing nothing while the other teammates do the dirty work. After Tia explained Dash along with everyone else understood what had to be done. "Now for your first mission I received an SOS message from a Lunar Base downtown but something was questioned in that signal," Celestia said thinking something isn't right. "You think it might be a trap?" Fluttershy asked a possible outcome. "Maybe but I can't be too sure," Celestia replied. Twilight got out first then Rarity. "Alright guys we got our first mission as a team so let's suit up and ride the jet downtown," Twilight said. Everyone nodded then went into the tubes that dropped each one of them down put their super suit on and land in the skinny 16 ton jet Spike constructed himself with Celestia's help of course. Once everyone was strapped in Spike opened the hatch, turned on the engine lifting it above ground before shifting it to driving mode and flying through Metropolis. Fluttershy looked outside in amazement considering she hates flying in any fashion whether it's a helicopter or a commercial airline plane but this time she was comfortable with Spike driving. "How close are we to our intended target?" Dash asked ready to drop down for the element of surprise. "We're about 2 kilometers from the target," Spike replied looking at the sonar device near some switches. Twilight did some last minute checks on her weapons just in case they fired what she used and not what it wanted. "So Fluttershy what were you doing in Ohio?" Rarity asked, wanting to start a conversation. "Oh I was studying nuclear science for an environmental program at least that was I wanted to do until that shadowbolt Nighthawk had a SWAT on me while vacationing in Rio," Shy explained. "I see," Rarity said seeming to increasingly intrigued. Their conversation would end when a holograph version of Tia showed up. "What's going on Celestia?" Pinkie asked getting close. Applejack backed the party girl back just a little so everyone could see her too. "The SOS was sent about 12AM early next morning until a problem with communications posed a problem so far all we know someone was there and had intentions," Tia explained about her findings. "You know anyone at that base other than Luna?" Rarity asked. "The only other person who was present at the base was Spitfire so you may able to talk to her just to get a general idea of what's going on," Celestia suggested. "Ok princess we will get on that and contact you should the need arise," Twilight replied. Celestia nodded and the hologram turned off. "We're here," Spike announced, finding a safe place to land. Twilight stepped out first then her friends followed close behind. "Where to now sugarcube?" Applejack asked looking around. "I'll go find us a way in," Pinkie said zooming around to find an entrance. "While Pinkie is looking for an entrance way I think this is a perfect time to see if our culprit left any clues lying around," Twilight thought now was a good time to check on clues. Everyone agreed to do so all of them searched the area around the base for anything helpful. Dash found some torn tapestry paper with half of the moon on it. I wonder where this came from? Dash thought. Pinkie searched high and low for some kind of entrance but as she went to search, Spitfire happened to be in her path even though something wasn't right. "Hey Spitfire you ok? You look pale," Pinkie said concerned. Spitfire happened to have 2 bite marks on her neck and fangs extended that signaled she was hungry for blood. "Uh oh," Pinkie said. She came at the same speed as Pinkie but she avoided a claw attack only to unleash a wicked good kick in the face knocking Spitfire through the Lunar Base, causing Twilight to run over to her until she saw what just made that hole and Spitfire flat on the wooden floor. Dash, Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy walked over as well. "Well we don't have to worry about going in," Dash said trying to make a joke when it clearly isn't funny to everyday else. "Come on," Fluttershy said walking through the hole Pinkie made. The others followed Shy into this dark part of the base so Twi activated a light function in her suit so they can all see what or where that SOS laid. "This place doesn't sit well with me Twilight I'm scared," Fluttershy said shivering. "It's ok Shy I'm here," Twilight reassured her friend with a smile. The front part was in shambles with broken computers and bodies laid in chairs or on the floor. "Looks like someone was here," Applejack assumed from what she could see. I think it was odd for Spitfire to have two bite marks on her neck when she attacked me," Pinkie recalled. Rarity stopped and looked over to Spitfire noticing bite marks deep in her neck. Twilight scanned those marks so Spike could analyze later on today. Applejack grabbed some rope then with Dash's help, tied up Spitfire tightly so she wouldn't escape. "That should keep her out of our hair for a while or at least till we find a way to change her back to what she was before becoming this...thing," Twilight said sharply. The others agreed. "You all go on ahead and I'll keep Spitfire entertained," Pinkie said willing to stay behind. "Are you certain darling?" Rarity asked skeptical. Pinkie shook her head smiling brightly and giving her friends a thumbs up. "Ok be careful and don't fall for any tricks she may try to pull," Applejack warned. "I'll be alright," Pinkie said. Twilight and the others left the party girl with Spitfire who was still tied up. They went deeper into the Base unknowing of what kind of horrors that may surface. Still, Twilight was determined to find out who sent that SOS distress signal to lend them here. Dash looked around a weapons/war room where chess players portraying battle tactics and map of Metropolis laid but something was odd, looking at the map closely. On what looked like the city wrote word play smeared in fresh blood. Bloody Mary Has Risen Applejack took a peak at it as well and was appealed with she started at. "What do you suppose it means RD?" Applejack asked turning to face Dash. "To be honest this could be anything at this but isn't Bloody Mary an urban legend or something?" Dash questioned not believing she's real at all. "She is but this is fresh blood meaning Mary may have been here before," Applejack replied. Dash ran her finger up on the blood then sniffed it, giving on assumption that it was recent. Twilight noticed an open coffin near the kitana right below Luna's portrait. "What is this doing here?" Fluttershy asked inspecting it further. "Dunno but I can tell you it might have something to do with Spitfire having bite marks," Twilight stated. Fluttershy blinked. "Shy the only thing capable of producing bite marks and causing Spitfire to attack one of our teammates is a blood sucking night walker," Twilight concluded. Dash and Applejack joined up with their friends. "Did you find any clues?" Twilight asked. "Yea we did; on the map of Metropolis someone scrawled Bloody Mary Has Risen in fresh blood," Applejack replied. "We think it might be a night walker," Twilight said. "Don't you mean vampire?" Dash corrected. Twilight was slightly annoyed that she was interrupted and corrected. Rarity came out from the computer control center with a folder of important classified documents. "Where did we find those?" Dash asked wondering how Rarity got those without being discovered. "They were just sitting there baiting me to take them and well I gave in and plus it can aid us about who sent that distress signal," Rarity explained. Twilight nodded in intriguing face at Rarity's thirst for information. They all headed back to Pinkie who still had Spitfire tied up despite awakening after being kicked hard by the pink speedster. Huh, I guess she wasn't kidding when she said it was all handled Twilight was thoroughly impressed. Soon enough the band of heroes walked out and into the jet, being greeted by Spike who smiled at them as they came aboard. "So did you find who gave that distress signal?" Spike asked flipping his sliding chair to face them. "We have found some classified documents; a threatening sentence and some other things we need to look into further; think we're ready?" Twilight questioned being right for the job. "Yep," Spike answered turning his chair away from them and to the switches. He pressed the ignition which started it up the engine before flying off. A woman with dirty dark red hair wearing a low top and skinny jeans looked up at the jet taking off and stared up at Masked Matterhorn aka Twilight very closely licking her lips. I will get her to be mine the woman said.
Chapter 2 InformationReturning back to their HQ Dash put the image of what she found in that war room scribbled in someone's blood. "Hmm it looks like the victim was decapitated then had his blood smeared all over to create the message Rainbow saw," Spike elaborated. "Is this Bloody Mary real?" Fluttershy asked. "No she's an urban legend that she lured young girls into her home so she could kill them and drained their blood to stay young forever," Twilight said explaining the story of Bloody Mary. "Yea and if you say her name 3 times she'll come through any mirror to kill you," Dash added in. Fluttershy gulped hard, whimpering to herself at what Dash just said to her. Applejack rolled her eyes. "Don't worry Shy we're safe; all we need is figure out who sent that distress call," Applejack said reassuringly. Meanwhile, Rarity and Pinkie in their normal clothes sat in the coffee shop enjoying some Gingerbread lattes while talking about how things have been doing. "So you went to go see Bruce Wayne?" Pinkie asked gleefully and eager. "Not yet Pinkie; Bruce told me in a few days I can come to Gotham to help him with a clothing line he has in mind for me," Rarity explained taking another sip of the latte. "Still that must be cool to work with a big top millionaire like him," Pinkie praised her friend. Rarity gave a slight nod and both girls exchanged giggles. The warm sensation abruptly ended with an ear piercing scream which prompted those two to run towards what happened. Pinkie could see a man on the ground clutching at his neck to point out that he was attacked by something. "I'll get him to a hospital," Pinkie instructed seeing as how she could get this man to medical personnel quicker. Rarity gave a quick nod and went to follow the blood trail keeping her guard up. Appearing from above and coming down were what looked like night walkers wearing torn up clothes and drawing swords ready to attack. "You wanna offer me a dance? How lovely," Rarity said sarcastically as she drew her twin battle axes. The warriors charged at Rarity trying to slash at her but failed as the fashionista avoided every attack, even tossing one axe at a warrior's head causing him to fizzle into nothing more than dust. "Whoa," Rarity said blocking another attack and kneeing him in the chin knocking his teeth out as well as out cold. The last one tried to sneak attack Rarity but she back punched him, stopping his incoming strike dead. "For warriors you guys are amateurs," Rarity said coldly picking up one of her axes from the ground. Examining it further it did have blood on the tip, the thing that got Rarity thinking was a simple fact these warriors were looking for someone but the question was: Who? Pinkie returned minutes later and saw the wreckage of what her friend just did. "So it seems that you had a fun time," Pinkie assumed looking at the three semi knocked out bodies. "Yes these fine gentleman decided to dance with me so I followed their lead," Rarity said in a joking tone. Pinkie giggled at that comment. Rarity walked out with her party speedster friend to head back to Headquarters. The same woman walked out of the darkness, surveying what Rarity just did to those warriors. She killed the other 2 with no hesitation and with an expressionless, emotionless blank face. "I instruct you to find Masked Matterhorn not fight a heroine and expect yourself a victory," she said. That was until she spotted a picture of who she was looking for alongside Rarity aka Radiance. "Looks like I know my goal," The woman rubbed a single finger around Twilight's cheek. The elevator's bell to signal Rarity and Pinkie had arrived. "So did you two enjoyed a day at the coffee shop?" Applejack asked wondering. "Yes it was amazing except that some night walkers warriors were looking for you," Rarity responded. Twilight blinked a few times trying to understand what her friend just said just now. "Me? What do they want with me?" Twilight said confused and embarrassed. "That's odd," Dash said trying her best not to laugh at her friend. Twilight wanted to know why some deranged psychopath night walker with her minus blood. "Anyway did you find out any information in those documents I found?" Rarity asked changing the subject. "We did and from the contents of it was very unsettling at the very least," Spike started, showing the picture of crucification and blood draining into a large bathtub with a naked woman sitting there. "You were right Spike this is very unsettling...or at least for me," Fluttershy said in response to Spike's caution. "Wait I happen to catch a glimpse of that woman sitting in that bathtub when I was passing by to take someone to the hospital to get treatment for his injuries," Pinkie explained pointing out who was saw. "Who might you think could it be Pinkie?" Applejack asked seeing that she may be in the right path. "That could be Bloody Mary we've been looking for that probably sent that distress signal to lure us into a trap," Pinkie said. Everyone looked at her because she had never made sense in her life until now. "Wow Pinkie that was actually smart I'm proud of you," Dash gave her pink friend a pat on the back. She smiled. That following night Twilight took a nice shower with some classical music playing. She washed her hair with shampoo and conditional to give her hair that beautiful glow. She heard a noise somewhere in the other room so Twilight put on her role and went downstairs to investigate what made that noise. Twilight walked slowly downstairs, being cautious of whatever decided to enter the base. She went into the kitchen area to see Pinkie making herself a sandwich and got frightened when she saw Twilight holding a flashlight. "Oh hey Twi sorry if I woke you up," Pinkie apologized. "No need I thought Bloody was in here and I would teach her how invaders are treated," Twilight said cracking her knuckles. Pinkie chuckled, finishing making her sandwich then headed back to her room leaving Twilight with a smile. "She is such a good friend eh Twilight?" Mary asked appearing out of the shadows revealing herself. "I knew you were here which leads to another question I have, what do you want from me?" Twilight asked in an demanding tone. Bloody chuckled and snapped her fingers having an unnatural force pushing Twilight to a wall. She kissed her deeply before fading into darkness leaving Twilight stunned and very still from the sudden kiss. Twilight stood on the wall for a couple of minutes before heading back to her room to sleep this off and hopefully be alright tomorrow morning. Bloody watched from the balcony of another building smirking seeing that she enjoyed her lip locking with Twilight a few moments ago.
Chapter 3 MayhemZapp flew above the city looking down to spot any kind of trouble whether it be big or small. So far nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary so she finished patrolling, she came back home then took off her super suit into normal street clothes. Twilight came out of her bedroom yawning and stretching her arms out. "Good morning everyone," Twilight greeted in between yawns. "Morning Twilight," Her friends said in unison and sitting at the table having waffles. Dash was the only one just having cereal and blueberry Pop tarts this morning. "So Twilight darling did you sleep well?" Rarity asked happily. "Oh I slept fine except for the fact that somebody decided to pretend she is a lawnmower all night," Twilight hissed stared at Dash. "Hey I can't help it if my snoring is loud ok? My body is starting to get used to this place," Dash defended herself. "I saw how your apartment looked and my goodness it looks like a tornado blew through it," Rarity added making Dash want to shock her so much she would have a heart attack. "I get it! My house is a mess ok? I'm not clean and organized like you all," Dash said blaming no one but herself. "Now y'all listen here! Princess Celestia didn't put us together just so we can bicker at each other like old ladies debating over political issues. We are a team now and we need to act like one or else this world will end in mayhem," Applejack interjected into a possible argument between Rarity and Dash, something AJ didn't like. Rarity and Dash looked at each other with ashamed looks. "Now you two apologize to each other," Applejack commanded. "I'm sorry," Rarity and Rainbow Dash apologized to one another. Applejack smiled at the result of her speech. "Wow AJ that was one amazing speech," Fluttershy said impressed. "Thanks Shy I created it myself," Applejack thanked Shy for appreciating what she said others wouldn't. "I should apologize too cause I was the one who started this whole argument," Twilight said feeling guilty. Applejack gave the go ahead to do so. "Rainbow I'm sorry," Twilight apologized. Dash came over and hugged her as a way to accept her apology before returning back to where she was sitting down. "So this Bloody Mary was in the coffee shop? Any word from any news source about her whereabouts?" Fluttershy added. "I checked all potential sources and all of them have come up with nothing except one news panel from FOX even we all despise that branch of journalism," Spike explained. They all nodded in agreement of hating FOX News or anything that has something to do with them. "Despite why we hate FOX please elaborate for us Spike about what they said darling," Rarity said wanting Spike to explain in more detail. "They claimed that Bloody was spotted at a nightclub last night and likely going to be there again performing a song," Spike explained what he saw on that newscast. "Ok that's a start; me and Applejack will head there as guests and investigate and bring back any findings to you guys," Twilight planned out. "Hold on are you sure Applejack can handle a nightclub?" Rarity said doubtful. "I am perfectly safe with Twilight and I can handle nightclubs,' Applejack responded sharply. Spike nodded and handed them ear piece communicators to keep in touch with them. "Good idea Spike," Dash said congratulating him for thinking ahead. "So in the meantime we'll head to that Lunar Base from before and see if we can find another clue that we missed," Rarity suggested. "Wait what about Spitfire?" Pinkie asked. "I checked on her last night and she says that she'll have a talk with me about what happened to her that lead to what Pinkie saw," Fluttershy said next. I forgot Shy took Psychology in college as a minor so that could come in handy Dash thought. "Ok we all know what we're doing tonight," Twilight said making sure everyone understood what was going on. Everyone nodded in agreement. Meanwhile Bloody Mary stood above the city admiring what human beings meant in this world. A slight smirk escaped her face knowing that tonight when she sings all those people will find her irresistible. Including Masked Matterhorn if she ever showed up with a friend. "Do I really have to wear this?" Applejack asked in protest. "Yes if you want inside that nightclub you have to look the part," Rarity replied. What AJ was wearing a strapless dress with fishnets along with her traditional cowgirl hat. "Now see Applejack darling you look absolutely beautiful and club ready," Rarity complemented. "My mother would be scolding me right now if she me in this ridiculous getup," Applejack said strapping on her cowgirl boots. "In this sense I'm sure this is appropriate for our task at hand right now," Twilight said showing off her cutoff jeans and halter top and long black heeled boots. "Whoa," Applejack and Rarity said in unison. "What?" Twilight asked confused at that reaction. "Twilight you look amazing," Applejack said before Rarity who was lost for words. "Well you two should head out before it's too late," Rarity reminded them guiding those two to the garage. "I'll be with AJ so make sure you and Spike are hooked on to our communications," Twilight reminded Rarity. "Sure," Rarity replied with a smile. Applejack and Twilight entered in the car before driving off to the nightclub to began their mission. "You think they'll be fine?" Twilight asked worried. Applejack nodded. Fluttershy took the elevator down to the holding chambers and walked down a few cells until she reached Spitfire's who was sitting on the far side staring at the shy brute. "So I'm guessing your going to be the one who wants an explanation about what happened in that Lunar Base?" Spitfire guessed. "Yes tell me all you know," Shy replied with a pen and a paper ready to record notes. "So it all started with the other guards daring each other to stand in front of a damn mirror and say Bloody Mary 3 times. The only problem was the lights went out, that woman killed every guard that desperately tried to escape but met with death; some more severe than the next," Spitfire started to explain. "Uh huh," Fluttershy said listening and recording every word that was spoken. "She bit me in the neck as you saw and turned me into the instrument of war," Spitfire continued to explain the events at the Lunar Base. "Anything else you remember about that day?" Fluttershy asked hoping to get some information she missed. "She did mention about raising an army of night walkers and have them fight for her to take over Metropolis," Spitfire recalled. "Other than that I don't know anything else." Fluttershy wrote last minute notes and walked over to the plexi glass that had holes in specific places. "Thanks for your help," Fluttershy said smiling. Spitfire shared a secret kiss with the shy brute before Shy left to get on the elevator. Applejack parked the car in a parallel parking situation before getting out with Twilight. They stopped to get in line, as soon as they got inside the nightclub; it was exactly as Applejack feared. Booze, horny teenagers and worst of all drugs not counting the countless strippers some of which who were topless. "She'd better be here because this is not my cup of tea," Applejack said feeling uncomfortable. "Don't worry if someone offers you a drink don't do it," Twilight cautioned Applejack about date rape cases. It didn't take long for the strippers to let Mary have the floor to perform a song while they danced. Twilight took a seat in the middle and AJ took one beside her. "What do you think her voice sounds like? My money is that she'll sound like Adele or Carrie Underwood," Applejack whispered to her friend. "I don't think it will be that simple my friend. We will hush and listen," Twilight replied. Mary cleared her throat and began to sing a soothing sexual tone that made the strippers dance along to Mary's tone of voice. Twilight was hypnotized by just hearing this wonderful song Bloody Mary was performing. "Twi this sounds pretty good I guess she could have a career in music," Applejack joked. She noticed Twilight was too deep into the song to pay attention to what Applejack just said. "Twilight?" Applejack called out shaking her with no luck. Mary held out out her hand for Twilight to join her on stage and she did willingly. Applejack didn't like the way this was going so she activated a sonic EMP sound device in one of her boots to emit a high pitch ear shattering sound wave causing everyone in the club to cover their ears breaking Mary's trance she had on them. Twilight shook her head to notice Mary had vanished again but left a black rose behind her. "You ok Twilight?" Applejack asked concerned. Twilight nodded with a bit of head problems like she was run over by a truck. "Hey guys did you get something at the club?" Rarity asked over the communicators. "Yea we got a black rose," Applejack replied. "A symbol for a dying love for someone in the vampire night walker community," Twilight mumbled to herself. "You say something Twilight? I didn't quite hear that; you may have to speak up darling," Rarity instructed from Twilight to understand what she was saying. "Oh it's nothing Rarity I meant it's just a way people show affection towards each other," Twilight lied. "Alright darling just come back to HQ so we can have a look see," Rarity suggested. "Yea we're on our way," Applejack said walking out with Twilight following close behind. That thought she had of her almost being turned into a night walker couldn't leave her mind even on the ride back home. To think...Mary almost turned me, I wonder what that felt like Twilight wondered looking out the window. Applejack became increasingly worried about Twilight's decisions lately but she couldn't judge her friend based upon what sort of actions that were placed upon her. Dash looked all around the Lunar Base but found nothing new, Pinkie wasn't having much luck as well. "Find anything yet Pinkie?" Dash asked hoping the speedster found something. "Actually I did, come look," Pinkie gestured Dash to where she is. They both looked at a old photo of Bloody Mary standing alongside a person who looked identically like Twilight except for the hair. "Hey Dash not to alarm you but does this person standing beside Mary looks like Twilight to you?" Pinkie asked handing the picture to Rainbow. She took on quick glance and handed it back to Pinkie. "That looks too real to not be Twilight," Dash replied blankly. "We'd better get to the others and quickly," Pinkie said. Dash used her lightning transport to have them return to Headquarters. Fluttershy just got off the elevator.
Chapter 4 UndergroundEveryone sat down in a circular table as a hologram version of Princess Celestia came up. "How goes with the search for Bloody Mary?" Tia asked eager to see what everyone had found. "Well I interviewed Spitfire she told me the night guards were messing around and dared each other to summon Bloody Mary in the first place along with how she bit her thus turning her into a night walker," Fluttershy started off reading notes she gathered from Spitfire. Celestia began to gain interest into Shy's findings being that she's supposed to the brute of this team. "As for me and Dash we found an old photograph of Mary standing next to a Twilight lookalike and we still need to analyze this as well," Pinkie said holding the picture up so Tia can see it. "Interesting, now I have some news to report so I need you all to pay attention," Celestia commanded. The 6 super heroines each sat down in their chairs to pay attention to what Tia had to say to them. "Bloody Mary and her band of night walkers are planning to start an attack on the city...if they are not stopped then our world will be doomed," Celestia explained. "How many are we talking here?" Dash asked. "Probably in the hundreds maybe in thousands; I need you all to go underground to stop them from reaching our way of life and making it destructive," Tia guessed the number of night walkers Mary has at her disposal. No one was more prepared than these 6 they all nodded in agreement for this mission for this would be the biggest challenge in history. "We are all counting on you Power Heroes; make our city proud," Celestia said before ending the transmission. Spike was in the jet as he set his jet to underground where it looked like a high powered drilling tool that will tunnel through anything in it's path. The girls arrived in their seats fully suited up and ready to get this over with. "Ok what's our objective Tia?" Spike asked wanting to know what they're main goal is for this underground battle. "Eliminate the night walkers and Bloody Mary before they reappear on the surface," Celestia said. Spike nodded. Everyone fastened their seat belts in, knowing this is going to be a short but bumpy ride. "Um Twilight your not at all shocked someone looks exactly like you next to Mary," Fluttershy said wondering. "This won't have any impact on me because this ends now. I'm tired of all her games and a sudden kiss she gave me; this time I am going to end her myself," Twilight proclaimed putting on her goggles. "Spoken like a true super heroine," Dash mumbled to herself smiling. Spike activated the underground drilling function and once that was turned on, it nosedived into the ground rumbling about making Rarity turn green in the face. Applejack handed Radiance a barf bag that she used 12 times. "Everything ok back there?" Spike asked looking back using his mirror to look behind him. "Yes everything's fine just Radiance over here having underground sickness that's all," Applejack replied. "Oh ok," Spike said returning back to his control panel. Going deeper until the jet stopped abruptly causing everyone to fall forward even the pilot. "I guess we're here," Fluttershy said struggling to stand upright. Spike activated a fail safe that shook the jet free and shifted back to it's original function. "Alright good but now-" A blaring alarm interrupted what Twilight was going to say. Flying night walkers fired blasts on to the jet causing to shake and rattle. "Everyone hang on!" Spike yelled trying to gain control. That's when Twilight flew out from the bottom hatch to deal with those night walkers. "What is she doing?" Dash asked angrily. Flying over some, she fired repulsors at them clipping one of their wings causing a fall to his death. The last two went for a double attack but Twilight stopped them before firing her repulsors, reducing them to dust. "Wow she seems more focused than normal," Rarity noticed. Twilight came back inside smiling at the display she just put on for her friends. "Twi that was more amazing than wrangling loose cattle and sending them back home," Applejack said quoting a metaphor. "Thanks you guys but now's not the time for celebration because we have to deal with Bloody Mary," Twilight stated staying focused on the task. "Roger that," Spike replied landing the jet on a clearing before letting everyone else off. "Be sure to blast any flying night walkers that happen to pass you by," Rarity said to Spike. He took that into consideration then flew up to do cover air travel just in case more decided to show up. Twilight and the others entered a Victorian style castle; the main foyer had tarps on the walls of Mary's symbol which was blood drips ripped up. "Well I must say I do love her choice in decor," Rarity admired. "There is no time to bask in her glorious tarps Rarity we need to find her," Applejack said annoyed. Mary came from across the hall with her guards standing by her side. "Well, well, well it would seem that the Heroes of Metropolis have entered my home," Bloody said in a joking yet cold tone. Her followers attacked the heroes but were pushed back by Fluttershy's brute strength coming as a real factor as she bulldozed her way to Bloody Mary; she went to punch her, Mary grabbed her fist then pushed her into a boatload of guards and some of the remaining team members. Dash went up in the air to unleash an thunderstorm shocking those night walkers. Mary escaped but Masked Matterhorn was hot on her heels, wanting to catch up so she wouldn't make it above ground to cause murder and mayhem all over Metropolis. She attempted to escape but was met with a tackle by Matterhorn, stopping whatever spell she was trying to perform. "You never give you do you mi amor?" Mary asked speaking a little French. Snapping her fingers and made twin swords appear in both hands smirking evilly. "i say bring it on!" Twilight proclaimed gesturing her to fight her. Mary jumped up and brought her swords down even when Twi used her arm to block it. She broke the hold and kicked the night walker in the cheek hard; sending her up in air which gave Twilight an opportunity to jump up and repeatedly kick Mary's stomach before one final kick rocketed Bloody Mary into the ground smashing it in two as Twilight landed gracefully. "Last chance to give up Bloody," Twilight warned. Bloody rushed Twilight into a kiss that she held, tongue kissing her until Twilight eventually gave in before breaking the kiss. "I knew you couldn't resist me forever," Mary said moving Twi's hair to side attempting to bite. Making a slight growl she felt a repulsor blast in her chest as she stared at her chest that was chared then back at Masked Matterhorn. "Checkmate," Matterhorn said winking. Mary fell backwards into the Earth's crust until she was engulfed by flames or molten lava as Twilight looked down then turned away to return to her teammates. Dash zapped the last group of night walkers until for some reason they suddenly turned into dust unexpectedly. "So I guess we won?" Pinkie guessed. "Yea and now we should head back to higher ground," Twilight said. They all left the castle and got on the jet as Fluttershy watched as the castle collapsed causing a big boom which helped the jet return to the surface safely, then jet landed at Headquarters safely. "Whoa I wasn't expecting that explosion to give us a catapult back home," Dash said. "Well at least we got out of there," Applejack said next reassuringly. Twilight looked at the photo Spike found with someone looking like her was actually her mother. "Spike I have something I have to do, I'll be back ok?" Twilight said. Spike nodded. Twilight's wings activated when she flew in the air and adjusted the navigation to her mother's house.
Chapter 5 AnswersTwilight entered her mother's house with no incident but upon entering the house; the way it looked was in shambles with glass everywhere. She spotted her mother unconscious but laying beside her, Twilight picked up green hair that didn't sit well with a guess she had. "No way," Twilight said.
