Sweetie Belle happily ate the cotton candy that she held within her hoof, the unicorn filly smiled looking at her older sister. Who decide it was a good time to spend some sibling bonding time, since Rarity been away from home.

“Thanks Rarity. This has been the best night ever!’ Sweetie Belle said, a smile beaming on her face.

Rarity shut her eyes, “That’s no problem…” When she open them her younger sister was gone.

“Sweetie Belle.” Rarity said in a panic, just to see that filly playing some games.

The older unicorn mare made her way over to her sister. Getting there Sweetie had just finished only being able to win a lab coat and flight goggles.

Rarity just shook her head.

“Come on Sweetie, it’s getting late.” Rarity said, causing the filly to lower her head in sadness and follow her sister while carrying her prizes on her back.

“You never going to wear those.” Rarity said, causing the young unicorn to look at her.

"Plus what kind of prize is clothes?" She question

“Well maybe not. But as long as I have them, they’ll be a reminder of the best night ever. With you sis.” Sweetie said, showing that sweet smile of her’s.

“Too bad, I didn't like music that they decide to play. It's just so boring and tasteless for the music in Equestria." The filly added.

“Well you might not like modern day music. I have a few songs from back when I was a filly, when we get home. You can listen to a few of them, before going to bed.”

When the two unicorn's got home, Rarity set up her laptop in her sister room. Saying goodnight and that if she see’s a song that she likes. Download it onto the empty unused I-Pod that sat next to the computer.

Sweetie Belle click the first song she saw, Born To Be Wild by Steppenwolf. She couldn't stop tapping her hoof the beat. It start by listening to the fifteen songs Rarity had, then downloading more she liked from the same artists. Then she started listening to more and more, soon making mixes of songs she enjoyed.

The sun rose the next day, Rarity enter her sister bedroom to see the young filly fast asleep next to the laptop and a full I-Pod.

“How many songs did you get?” She whisper quiet enough to not wake her sleeping sister.

Looking at the computer screen answer all of her question. The songs all neatly put in their rightful artists making a playlist for all of them. Then a mix of twelve different songs from music ranching from the fifty's to the nineties.

Rarity kissed her sister forehead before leaving for college. Sweetie smiled in her sleep, feeling safe.

A few hours after Rarity left. It just happen all so fast, a group of Diamond Dogs with a Changeling and a Griffin broke into their house and kidnapped Sweetie Belle. Taking her and her I-Pod, lab coat and flight goggles.


Blank flank, blank flank, blank flank. She heard it sang from every pony in her school, Apple Bloom bit her lip. Holding down her rage, she might be a young earth pony. But Apple Bloom have to see a doctor each week for her anger management problems.

So what if one or three colts had lost a few of their teeth after making fun of her. That wasn’t a fun afternoon, she felt the disappointment from her granny and older brother stares.

The two stayed quiet on the walked back, most of the family did around her. Every pony in her class, turn their heads calling her a freak under their breath. Not daring to say it out loud, afraid on what might happen to them.

So Apple Bloom became a lone wolf, the young filly rather stay by herself than go and played with the other ponies her age. She didn't care about friendship, (screw it.) The gym is where she work on her punching, until her older brother came and picked her up.

Her family didn't even let her out of their site anymore, they didn't even let her help out around the farm anymore. Ever since Applejack had left for Maretropolis, the Apple family been having a little trouble with getting their food ready for selling.

Then one day, a pegasus known as Knuckles and a unicorn known as Amber. Came to their door step, they told Big Mac and Granny Smith that they can take Apple Bloom to a magical and safe place that would not only help her, but the rest of Equestria. Big Mac and Granny Smith shared the same worry expression at the two strange ponies. But they both thought it was the best since Apple Bloom have just been getting worst.

That was the last time, the Apple Family saw their youngest member. While leaving the farm, Apple Bloom couldn't help, but wonder if her so called 'family' are happy without her.


Scootaloo sat bored, watching The Wonderbolts race. It's every pegasus dream to become one, but Scootaloo have to see one. Each and every day, it lost the spark after the first one hundred times. All because her mother is captain of the Wonderbolts, while her father is away traveling all over Equestria.

It just left Scootaloo here, with her mother. Who meant to here watching her, but instead racing for thousands of ponies. Cheering for their favorite Wonderbolt to win, each time before a race began Scootaloo had to wish her mother good luck.

The flame coat pegasus gave the orange pegasus filly a kiss on the forehead, before shooting off to meet with the rest of the Wonderbolts.

A red dragon sat in the audience, watching something other than the show. The teenage dragon watched the orange pegasus filly from afar. The perfect test subject for his boss little pet project on destroying all super heroes in Equestria.

Garble let out a smile, the red dragon stood up and left the crowd of ponies. He hated being around them, why could his boss pick Knuckles, Thomas, Night Shade or Dawntail. Those four hid better than a tall red dragon, he couldn't believe the day where he would like that dragons are now friendly towards ponies.

Scootaloo lean on her right front hoof, a shadow creep slowly and quietly behind her. Scootaloo soon fell asleep of boredom causing Garble to smile and take the pegasus away.


A white coat unicorn flutter her eyes open, she looked around the damp and darkened room. She noticed two other fillies close to her age, one is a yellow earth pony with a red mane. While the other one is a orange pegasus with a purple mane.

“Where am I? Who am I?” The earth pony filly question, once she woke up.

The unicorn and the pegasus shared the same question, but just didn’t feel to repeat what have already been said. The metal door open, blinding the three fillies by the shining light.

“Boss lady wants you three front and center. Follow me.” The tall dog creature said.

The earth pony push the two out of the way, causing the pegasus and the unicorn to hit the cold hard ground. The two fillies got up and quickly caught up with the dog.

A unicorn mare walked into the room, her brilliant amaranth mane with light apple green stripes that shined in the light. She blew out her light amber mane from blocking her eyes.

“Greetings test subjects. My name is Sunset Shimmer, now you all did volunteer here of your free will. Unfortunately we had to get rid of some unwanted memories in your mind.” Sunset explain, grabbing a folder with her magic.

“Subject One;” she spoke to the unicorn filly.

“Your name for now on will be Summer. Don’t worry about we have a few clothes you came with and a I-Pod for some unknown reason.” Sunset shot a Diamond Dog a death glare.

“Subject Two;” she spoke to the earth pony filly.

“Your name for now on will be Winter. You had nothing on you at the time, but fear not you’ll be provided something on your stay. To make it more comfortable”

“Subject Three;” she spoke finally to the pegasus filly.

“Your name from now on is Autumn. You'll also be provided somethings alongside Winter, so please get to know each other. From now on, you three are now a team.”

“Now part of The Deadly Three Project.” Sunset finished with a smile that made her look sinister.

The three fillies enter back in the room, the metal door slammed shut. Blocking out the bright light, the high window shined a bit rays of lights, but because of the metal bars blocking it. There was little to none.

“This doesn't seem right.” Summer spoke up

“What gave you that idea, genies?” Winter asked, sarcasm drip from her mouth.

“Look if we’re going to make it out of here. Alive. We need to work together, wait for the right time to strike. After that, we never need to see each other again.” Summer said, Winter rolled her eyes.

“Fine then. As long we don’t hold hooves or some other dumb friendship stuff.” Winter stated, crossing her legs.

“I’m in. Maybe we can be friends after this is over.” Autumn said hopefully, causing Winter and Summer to share the same horror expression on their faces.

“Let see how these next few weeks play out, Autumn.”

The metal door open for three brown cardboard boxes to enter the room. Each marked with their names, Winter open to get a leather jacket. Her smile said everything she was thinking, Autumn was more confused getting a top and shorts. She looked at Summer to see a lab coat and flight goggles with a blue I-Pod.

Summer looked at it, like it was the most most important thing in Equestria. Something about this small music player made her feel safe. She hit the play button.


An Diamond Dog lead Winter towards a room down the hall, she saw Summer and Autumn taken to different rooms close to her. He unlocked the door, kicking her inside. Winter saw Sunset waiting, standing in front of a machine

The Diamond Dog, pushed Winter forward. The earth pony filly felt scared, but at the same time excited for what is about to happen.

Winter climb in, the glass closed. Blocking her only way out, Sunset looked at the machine seeing it only on a two. The unicorn mare began turning it up until it hit max.

“What are you doing? That might kill her!” The Diamond Dog yelled out

“You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs.” Sunset spoke, stopping once it hit the maximum number of ten.

Winter breathing got harder and harder. The heart monitor next to it stopped, Sunset Shimmer didn't really care. She lifted up her notebook and started to write some stuff down.

The heart monitor began to spike again, Winter hoof punch right through the glass, the filly climb out with rage in her eyes.

“What was we meant to give her again?” Sunset asked, not looking from her notebook.

“Super Strength. It seems like she isn’t hurt at all.” The Dog explained, Sunset Shimmer smiled.

“Winter. Well done. You lived and seem to gain more than I thought. I’ll have to test out your new found powers.”

…............

The crowd screamed, Winter walked out looking to see thousand of criminals watching, betting against her. There were two ponies, right next to Sunset Shimmer.

Winter looked at the unicorn and the pegasus. She feels like she might have seen them someplace before. That thought quickly went away, when the metal door open showing her opponent.

Amber and Knuckles watching with Sunset Shimmer, seeing the fully grown dragon breaking through the metal door and releasing his fire breath by moving his head up.

“Miss Shimmer, are you sure that the dragon is such a good idea. What if she loses? Fillies don’t grow on tree and Big Boss clearly said that he wanted the fillies we bought you.” Amber said, causing Sunset to smirk.

“Watch and learn Amber. I made Winter strong enough to lift something one thousand times her own size. This is just to see if it's working.” Sunset explain, Amber grab her popcorn when the match started.

The dragon let out a loud roar, that shakes the whole colosseum. The beast let out his flames, Winter blocked her eyes with her right front leg. The earth filly, moved back with the fire burning a bit off her tail. The fire burning around her, blocking the view from the audience.

“Well that's the end of her. I’m not going to be the one to give the news to Big Boss.” Knuckles said, Sunset and Amber glared at him for completely different reasons.

The fire stopped, Winter jumped to punch the dragon in the belly. The young filly lift the beast by his spike toe, slamming him towards the ground. Winter climb on top of him, then repeatedly punching him in the face.

Sunset, Amber and Knuckles watched that poor dragon. Amber shook her head and smiled.

“Well good job with this one Miss Shimmer. With Winter strength and her unbreakable coat, she will be unstoppable.” Amber spoke.

“That just the first member of The Deadly Three Project. Test Subject One: Summer is up next. I want her be able to turn invisible, making her the perfect assassin.”

Amber and Knuckles left, while Winter got drag off back to her room with the other test subjects, by the Diamond Dogs.

“Now I just need someone to clean up Winter's mess.”


The next day, The Diamond Dogs had a sleeping Summer (wearing her lab coat and flight goggles) on a cold metal table. The door open with Sunset walking in, the unicorn looked at the jar of millions of tiny robotic bug on the desk.

“Umm… What's going on in here. Summer is meant to turn invisible!” She cried out

“Yeah. We didn't know if that was possible. We tried all day yesterday with no luck. So a new idea came up, the intelligence bugs. Once poured into a pony brain, the bugs will work to make that pony super smart.”

“So you are going to use MY INTELLIGENCE BUGS, to do something that you messed up on!” Sunset Shimmer yelled, while the bugs got pour into Summer's brain.

Summer woke with a start looking around, quickly left to right, up to down. Her right eye starts twitching, while she mutter random words.

“Great. The intelligence bugs were still getting worked on. I believe you just gave that poor filly brain damage, take her back with the others.”

The Diamond Dogs threw Summer back inside their room. The unicorn filly laid on the floor looking towards the ceiling.

“Hey; you think Summer alright?” Autumn question

“Why should I care. It's a load off my back.” Winter said, trying on her new leather jacket.

“The square root of pi is 1.77245385091,” Summer yelled out, sitting up.

“Did you know low-level clouds lie below 6,500 feet (2,000 meters). Meteorologists refer to them as stratus clouds. They're often dense, dark, and rainy (or snowy) though they can also be cottony white clumps interspersed with blue sky. The most dramatic types of clouds are cumulus and cumulonimbus, or thunderheads.”

“Ever wonder where the phrase “It’s raining cats and dogs” comes from? In the 17th century many homeless cats and dogs would drown and float down the streets of England, making it look like it literally rained cats and dogs.”

“The word “gorilla” is derived from a Greek word meaning, “A tribe of hairy women.”

“A single cloud can weigh more than a million pounds.”

Summer took a breath, before she could start talking, Winter covered the unicorn running mouth.

“Now hold on there. What the heck going on with you?” Winter asked

“Intelligence Bugs, the dogs decided to fill my head with all knowledge in the whole of Equestria which isn’t that big. Only consisting of Earth Ponies, Unicorns and Pegasi. My brain is now going over with Dragons, Yaks, Zebras… It just so much information!”

“I know a ship, I can make a ship. That runs off my music from my I-Pod. Did you also know…” Summer started, before Winter covered her mouth.

“We don’t need more useless information!” Winter said angly

“Well that cats and dogs one was interesting. To say the least.” Autumn said, causing the two to look at the pegasus.

“I’m going to be forced to spend the rest of my life surrounded by the biggest idiots in Equestria.” Winter stated, Summer let out some noises from her mouth, making Winter let go of Summer's mouth.

“I said, if I can get my ship working. We can just fly out of here, once free never need to see each other again.” Summer spoke

"I mean with all of the knowledge of Equestria running through your head. All you could think of a ship that doesn't hurt the environment." Autumn added.

“Alright then. I’m in, anything to get out of hanging out with you two.” Winter said, placing her hoof on Summer's.

“You are really mean. But I’ll help too, for Summer because she's my friend and nothing else.” Autumn, placing her hoof on Winter's while hiding her face to keep away the blush.

…...........

Sunset Shimmer, went to look outside to see the three fillies working on the ship, while music blasted. Winter helping Autumn (who is now wearng her shirt and shorts to cover up the scars around her body.) Out while Summer looked over the plans, a black Changeling walked up next to the unicorn seeing the three fillies working together.

“This is a bad idea. What if they escape, you put three fillies together even when they hate each other.” The Changeling said

“Well Thomas, you’ll be amazed nothing bring ponies closer together than a common goal. They will be a team, they will work for Big Boss. Autumn over there is meant to control all four elements, fire, water, wind and earth.”

“Let me guess nothing has happened yet.” Thomas said, Sunset rolled her eyes.

“We mix her DNA with the types of creatures that control that type of element. The dogs think she might go crazy,” Sunset smirked.

“I just need to show these girls what happens when you double cross me.” Her eyes landed on Summer, “I know just who to use.”

“Right then. I’ll tell Big Boss and next week we’ll be over to pick The Deadly Three Project up.” Thomas said, leaving the insane unicorn well that what Thomas thought of her.

The ship, now called Summer's Ship. That Autumn begged to name, which was a mistake since she wasn't good with names. Is finished and ready to fly anytime, Sunset Shimmer call the three of them in a room. Winter, Autumn and Summer took their seat just to be chain down.

“So a little birdie told me, you three are planning to escape. I need to show you what happens to PONIES that don’t follow my orders.” Sunset spoke, pulling Summer to face the other two.

“I thought I had anger issues.” Winter whispered to Autumn

I HEARD THAT!”

A Diamond Dog walked once he heard the yelling, Sunset faced him with a smile that all the Diamond Dogs learn to fear.

“Give me your knife's.” Sunset spoke

“But my mother gave me these knife's” He said, once Sunset to turn to look at him with rage and hate. The dog dropped it and ran.

Sunset pick it up with her magic, holding Summer's eyes open.

“You see kids. I'm not nice, I hate Big Boss, I hate superheroes like The Masked Matter-Horn always getting in MY WAY! That why I made The Deadly Three Project, until you three screwed everything up for me.” Sunset explain, using the knife to cut through Summer's left eye twice.

Autumn began shaking, her eyes turning from purple to yellow. Winter look at the pegasus she soon about to call a friend. Autumn let out a yell, causing the ground to start shaking, spikes began to shoot up from the ground. Sunset ran out, Winter broke free running up to Summer.

“Are you alright?” Winter asked, Summer held her left eye.

“Besides getting blind in my left eye and Autumn going crazy. Everything seems normal,” Summer spoke, causing Winter to smile.

“We need to get out of here.” Winter said, Summer saw a past out Autumn on her right.

“Not without Autumn. Once a team, always a team.” Summer said, Winter shook her head

“Can you walk?” Summer nodded, “Good, I’ll carry Autumn. You can still fly that ship we built?”

“I made it. I fly it.” Summer said, following Winter out to the ship. On the way she grab the two knife's that causing the lost of her left eye.

Summer jumped into the pilot seat on her left. She brought down flight goggles, Winter placed Autumn safety down.

“Where too, I always wanted to go to Hawaii.” Summer said, Winter let out a frustrated yell.

“Fly us anyway. Just not Hawaii” Summer let out a disappointed moan, before flying away.


Autumn woke up on the top of a mountain in the desert, Winter and Summer sat by the edge waiting for her.

“Good you’re up. I thought you never get up.” Winter said, Autumn sat next to Summer.

“So what now. Is Sunset Shimmer no longer a problem?” Autumn question

“Never say never. But we did say to just leave on our own ways after Sunset Shimmer… But I was thinking maybe we should do some crimes maybe find this 'Big Boss' and take him down.” Summer spoke up

“Well we’ll need a name.” Autumn said

“The Deadly Three.” Winter answered, causing Summer and Autumn to look at the earth pony filly.

“You want to be apart of this. I thought you hated us?” Summer wondered.

“What can I say, I want to spend the rest of my life surrounded by the biggest idiots in Equestria.” Winter stated

“The Deadly Three it is then” Autumn said.


A bat-pony flew into a dark room, the only light is from the windows. Night Shade stopped looking at the large throne.

“Big Boss sir, The Deadly Three Project is a failure. Sunset Shimmer is still alive, but we may have found what you been looking for. One of The Elements of Harmony.” Night Shade said.

“Good job, bring it to me” Big Boss spoke in a deep and loud voice.

“Yes Big Boss, right away Big Boss.” Night Shade said, leaving the room.


Author's Note

Just saying this now, when you see green. That's a song, you don't need to listen to them to understand the story at all. Plus there's is going to be a full song list at the end of the story.

This is what made me come back to FIMFiction, I wanted to do a better version of these three and well if I'm going to bring them back. I have to go big or I should just go home. Even through I write these stories in my room...

I sadly couldn't find a proof reader for this small story of mine, I'll have to edit it myself. So there's one problem, chapters will take awhile to edit; this is a soundtrack on my cellphone I made sometime last year. It's Volume 2, if your wondering why I don't use Volume 1. It's because it was used for the first The Deadly Three story that I gotten rid of. I might make a blog of the old songs later if I feel like it.

I hope everyone enjoy this story. I been wanting to make what I thought that The Cutie Mark Crusaders would be like in The Power Ponies world, since they most likely had never met each other at Diamond Tiara's party. Well I'm going to leave links to the blogs I made before I posted this story just encase anybody would like to learn more about The Deadly Three, Sunset Shimmer and Big Boss.
