The Unique

The city of Canterlot was busy as usual. The school hour had ended which meant a huge traffic jam had built up. For many of the students and parent drivers leaving Crystal Prep, it was an annoying part of their day. And for most of them it was a waste of their time. One of these students was Sunny Flare and her friend/partner, Stellar Glimmer, her bosses son. To the kids at Crystal Prep they were normal teenagers, but secretly they were part of a secret organization created to prevent magical disasters.

At this time after school they'd head back to the Agency to work. Unfortunately they were one of the many cars stuck in the traffic jam. Stellar had his eyes closed and laid on the passenger seat, arms behind his head. Sunny Flare was driving and couldn't do what Stellar was doing which made her jealous. She wished it was his turn to drive.

"At least it isn't hot." She thought, looking up at the sky through the window. some of the sky was blue while most of it was covered in clouds.

She looked back at the traffic in front of her and felt annoyed. She honked the car horn in frustration, causing Stellar to jump a little in his seat.

"Can't these cars move already?"

"It's a traffic jam, Sunny. Nothing's gonna change that."

"I just wish it would go faster." Sunny Flare said, dropping her head onto the steering wheel.

"We're a mile away from the Agency, we'll get there when we get there." Stellar assured her. Then she heard a rumbling from behind the car. She felt the car vibrate and removed her head from the steering wheel. Stellar had felt the vibration and straightened himself.

"What's going on?" Stellar asked.

"I don't know. Earthquake?" Sunny Flare guessed.

"There's no fault line in Canterlot." Stellar informed her. Sunny ignored Stellars correction and looked at her side view mirror and saw a blue blur in the distance zooming by at an incredible speed. The blur had quickly ran by the car, causing the vibrating to settle down. The blur left behind a trail of smoke and the sound of a jet flying by.

The other drivers had saw the object zoom by and proceeded to get out of their cars in confusion. Sunny Flare and Stellar did the same and looked at the blue blur zoom off the highway and into the neighborhoods. Sunny Flare turned her head towards Stellar, who was looking at the area the blur had zoomed towards.

"So would that count as an excuse to turn the sirens on?" Sunny asked, Stellar nodded his head and grinned. They both got into the car and turned the sirens on, prompting everybody to get in their cars and get out of the way. They got about ten cars ahead before getting caught in traffic again.

What Sunny Flare and Stellar didn't know about the blur was that they knew more about it than they thought. Because the blur was secretly a student at Crystal Prep Academy. The blur had left Crystal Prep earlier and was heading towards the home she lived in. The blur had left the highway and turned towards a neighborhood that was very nice looking. It zoomed past the houses and stopped at a cyan colored 2-story house. The blur zoomed into the backyard and entered the house through the backdoor.

This was the routine she had always done for the past few days ever since the day her powers showed up. She'd get home from school and relax for a few hours and then go into the city to stop a few crimes she'd see.

She walked into the house and stretched, cracking her knuckles. She took off her backpack in an instant and plopped it down on the floor. She'd pick it up later. Right now she would happily go upstairs and lay on her be-

"Indigo Zap." A voice called out to her. Indigo stopped what she was doing and turned her head towards the couch. Sitting on the couch was a purple skinned woman with bangs and a ponytail. And to be honest, had a little weight on her.

"Uh... Who are you and why are you in my house?" Indigo Zap asked, clenching her fists. She squinted her eyes to try and see her intruder and thought she had seen her before.

"Wait a minute, you're that lady who gave the alien speech on tv."

"So you know who I am?" Starlight asked.

"Yeah, you're, uh, Madame Glamour." She said. Starlight smiled and shook her head.

"Starlight Glimmer. I'm the leader of an Agency that prevents catastrophic disasters from happening in America." She explained.

"Cool..." Indigo said, disappearing in a flash. Starlight raised her eyes and looked around the house. She turned around and saw Indigo Zap looking at her wallet.

"All checks out." She said, looking at Starlights identity. Starlight quickly swiped her wallet off of Indigo's hands and glared at her.

"Sorry, I just needed to know if you were really her." She explained. Starlight continued to glare at her and spoke up.

"We need to talk about your powers."

"If you want to know where I got super speed then I can't help you there. One day I didn't have it, the next day I did." Indigo shrugged.

"How you got them doesn't matter right now. I want you to come with me to the Agency."

"Whoa, wait. Go somewhere, with you? I don't know a thing about you?" Indigo said, raising her eye.

"I can tell you everything about me on the way there. We just need to go to the Agency."

"Why should I go with you to the Agency? I don't wanna become some science experiment."

"You won't be experimented on by anybody. The reason I want you to come with me to the Agency is because I need your help finding others like you." Starlight explained, getting Indigo's interest.

"Others like me?"

"How many have you found already?"

"Just you so far." Starlight answered.

"But what about the people that fought at the Gold tower?" Indigo asked. Starlight almost answered but hesitated as she tried to think out her answer. The thought of the life they lost that night went through her head. She quickly threw that aside and answered Indigo Zap.

"They're at the Agency. One of them at least. We lost the other that night if you remember." Starlight answered as best she could. Indigo Zap nodded and remembered looking out her window when she saw the giant explosion in the sky.

"So if I come with you will I get to meet him?" Indigo asked, hoping she could meet someone like her. Starlight seemed to hesitate but she nodded her head.

"Then I'll go with you to the Agency. I just really want to meet somebody who's like me." Indigo said, Starlight nodded her head and smiled. She stood up with Indigo and the two of them walked outside to her car.

"Wait. Gotta lock up first." She said, zooming back into the house and back out side in a second. Starlight quietly admired Indigo Zap in her head.

"With a power like hers, hopefully finding the rest will be easy." She thought.

"All right, lets go." Indigo Zap said. Starlight and Indigo got in the car and buckled up. Starlight turned on the engine and drove to the Agency with Indigo Zap.

Norman was sitting at his desk in an empty classroom. The school had ended hours ago. But as a teacher, it was his job to stay behind and check the students homework. He wasn't completely alone in the classroom. His sister, Bonbon sat in a chair beside Norman. She was helping him check the homework also. The two had been chatting about the students good and horrible answers for the history test earlier that day and were talking about their days.

Life had returned to normal for the two of them since the incident. Ever since the Agency went public, people had been asking questions across the world. There were riots across the world for the first few days. Then the world settled down and went on its business. The greatest discovery in the history of mankind happened and people went back to work. The Agency had managed to keep the public unaware of the magical girls at the school. To the world, Canterlot High was a normal school and that's what Norman hopes it will always be.

The two of them had finished checking the work and decided to leave the school. They turned everything off and left the building. They continued talking to each other towards their car. They were completely unaware of the portal that had opened up inside the school. Inside the portal was a dark jungle with twisted dark wood rising out into the sky. A small dark creature was staring at the portal with curious red eyes. It looked inside the portal and saw the dark halls of the school. It's eyes glowed a intense red and quickly crawled through the portal and into the schools dark hallway. The portal behind it immediately closed, but the creature was too preoccupied by its new surroundings to notice.

The creature raised its insect head into the air and looked around. It's sharp vision allowed it to see in the dark. It switched its vision with a fold that covered its red eyes. With this change in vision the creature was able to see in infrared. It looked around for any heat source and saw nothing, it switched back to its normal red eyes and started exploring.

The creature looked around the dark hallways and crawled towards the front entrance. It looked up at the ceiling and realized how big the place was compared to it. It crawled around and looked at everything inside. Then it heard a car engine start up, causing it to jolt up. It screeched and moved into a defensive position. It's tail raised high into the air, showing off its four horns on the tip. The horns folded together and formed a spear like tip on its tail. When it realized it wasn't under attack, it looked for the source of the sound. It spranged into action when it saw a light in the distance. The creature quickly realized that it came from outside and screeched. It crawled towards the doors with its six dragonfly-like legs.

It looked around and saw through the glass doors leading outside. It crawled to the door and watched as a car drove out the parking lot. It's red eyes stared at the car with a infrared vision and picked up the cars heat source. The creature mouth opened, dripping saliva onto the floor. It wanted that car. The creature roared and charged the door. It hit the door with a thud. The door didn't break, so it kept trying. And trying. And trying. And trying.

With one final charge the creature had managed to break the glass and quickly crawled toward the empty parking lot. The creature stared up at the light posts lighting up the parking lot. It leaped onto the pole and quickly crawled towards the light. It's body covered the light and created a shadow of its self on the floor. It stared at the light and opened its mouth, revealing a set of fangs. It sinked its fangs into the light and was zapped. Sparks flew out the lamp as the creature continued to absorb the light. The creature absorbed all it's electricity and stopped. When it finished feeding, it's body grew in size. The creature then jumped off and screeched. It stood motionless on the ground as it's body grew two new limbs on its back. When it finished growing it spread its new limbs far out. Then a set of dragonfly wings sprouted out the limbs. The creature roared again and jumped high into the sky, its wings activating.

The creature looked around its new surroundings and could see energy sources all over. The sight of it all made the creature drip its saliva. It screeched again and flew into the clouds for cover. Then it saw it in the distance with its enhanced vision. it saw a huge energy source towards the mountains. The creature screeched again and flew off into the distance towards the mountains, towards Canterlot's nuclear power plant.

Starlight and Indigo Zap had made it to the Agency. At the moment they were sitting in the car talking to each other.

"How did you build this without getting people's attention?" Indigo asked, looking at the huge underground parking garage.

"The Agency was built here before the city expanded to cover the area." Starlight explained.

"Wow. You guys are old." She said.

"Indigo, before we go in I need to establish some rules."

"Lay them on me."

"First, you cannot tell anyone where this Agency is. No telling your parents, friends, or the internet." Starlight said, with authority. Indigo nodded her head in agreement. She expected that to be the first rule.

"Second, don't act like a fool. And third, you listen to everything we say or tell you to do. Got it?" Starlight asked, solemnly. Indigo nodded her head and answered.

"Got it. I'll listen to whatever you say." Indigo said, giving her a salute. Starlight narrowed her eyes at her in suspicion. She accepted the response and proceeded to get out the car. When she closed the door, Indigo was already standing beside her.

"That won't get annoying." Starlight thought to herself.

They walked to the building in the center of the garage and entered the elevator. Indigo Zap was quiet on outside but on the inside she was barely keeping in her excitement. Ever since she saw the broadcast on tv, she wanted to meet the electric man that had apparently fought a evil alien after getting powers from said alien. It wasn't like she had never gotten close to seeing people like her before. The Friendship Games quickly entered her thoughts as she remembered what her friends had told her happened. They told her about a girl named Twilight Sparkle had turned into a flying purple demon and some girl from the other school turned into a angel and talked to her.

She didn't believe it for a second. A girl turning into a flying demon was very far fetched. Although the principal was arrested for blackmail the day after. So something had to have happened that day. She wished she was there to see it for herself. She had unfortunately been struck by a random sickness the day before.

But this afternoon, things were finally gonna change. She'd meet the electric guy and finally have someone to talk to about her powers. She held her excitement as the elevator moved farther and farther underground. And when it finally stopped, she had a huge smile on her face.

When the doors had finally opened she gasped at how huge the place was. The building was so tall that she could see five stories up. The elevator lead her on a straight bridge that went all the way to the wall. The bridge had two stairs that went down both sides and two more paths that split into offices at the end. To her right was a huge amount of computers with Agents typing away on their keyboards. On the wall next to them was huge Tv's that were broadcasting every channel. To her left was even more Agents typing away on computers. The whole place was decorated with a futuristic white color. White lights were lighting up the entire building from the ceiling. The place was exactly like Indigo thought it would look like.

"Follow me." Starlight commanded, walking towards the offices. Indigo followed her while looking around.

She looked at every single Agent on the computers and examined their faces. One was typing away with zero distraction, while another one was laying back in his chair typing with one hand. As she looked at all the Agents she noticed a rather tall Agent silently, leaning on a wall. He seemed to be staring off into space with his arms crossed. He looked out of place with all the Agents who were working. She wondered who he was. Starlight had noticed who Indigo was staring at and quickly stopped. She turned to the balcony and made herself known.

"Agents." She said, with authority. The Agents had looked up at her in unison and saluted her.

"Madame." They said, together. Starlight and the Agent looked at each other. She motioned with her eyes at Indigo Zap, getting the Agents attention. He nodded his head and walked out the room. Indigo Zap had been caught off guard by the announcement that she didn't notice the Agent had disappeared. Indigo looked at the Agents and decided to salute as well.

"At ease." Starlight said. The Agents immediately went back to work like nothing happened.

"Wow." Indigo whispered, her respect for Starlight increasing. Indigo looked back towards the wall where she saw the Agent and noticed he was gone. She raised her eyes and looked around the place. The Agent had disappeared.

"Where did he..." Indigo muttered. Starlight heard her and asked.

"Where did what?" She asked, staring at Indigo. Indigo looked around and gave up.

"It was nothing." Indigo replied, shrugging her shoulders.

The two of them reached the end of the path and turned right. They walked to a door and went through, leading to a small office. Starlight's office. Indigo Zap sped through the office and sat on a spinning chair infront of Starlight's desk.

"This is your office?"

"Yes. Why?"

"Just seems...boring." Indigo said, picking up a picture frame on Starlight's desk. She looked at the photo and saw Starlight and a orange guy standing next to three kids that resembled the two of them. Indigo realized she was looking at Starlight's family photo.

"She's married?" Indigo thought, just now noticing the ring on Starlight's finger. She looked at their kids and examined every detail. The youngest in the photo was a short happy orange boy who looked eight years old. The middle child was a purple girl with straight magenta hair with a sliver of green on the left side. She had black dimmed glasses and her smile revealed that she had braces. She looked at least ten in the photo. Then she looked at the oldest in the photo. He was purple like Starlight, but had black hair. He was standing with his parents, crossing his arms with a slight smile on his face. He looked about eighteen in the photo. Indigo Zap dropped her mouth in realization. He was one of her friends at Crystal Prep.

"Ronin? Ronin is your son?" Indigo asked, in shock. Starlight nodded her head and smiled.

"Ronin was at Crystal Prep during the Friendship Games. He told me everything that happened so I'd be able to cover it up. That's why it never made news." She explained.

"So that's why I never found anything online." Indigo said, recalling her prievous attempts to find anything online.

"So how did you find me?"

"We found you by using this." Starlight answered, pulling out a list from her desk. She handed it to Indigo who quickly read its contents. The list was filled with names, pictures, and a description of their powers. Indigo recognized a few of the names on there from her school. The list had used their yearbook photos for their profiles. Indigo looked at Starlight in confusion.

"How did you get this?"

"It was given to us by a very powerful alien. One, who you might get to meet someday."

"Wow." Indigo said in amazement.

Outside the Agency, the sun had set behind the mountains. Night had formed across the city. At this time, families would be leaving work and heading home to get ready for dinner. Cars had filled the highways once again. The amount of energy being emitted from the city was enough to get the creature to moan in excitement. It had never seen such a buffet before in it's life. It flew to a construction site outside the city limits and was eating the generator lighting up the site.

It's black insectile body grew even more. It's wings expanding farther and farther apart. The length of its fangs grew even bigger as well. When it finished eating, the site was enveloped by darkness. Causing the construction workers at the site to stop working. They huddled together towards a mobile home and took flashlights from inside.

"Woods what happened to the power?" A worker yelled.

"I don't know. Let me check." Woods replied, walking towards the generator. The creature quickly hopped off the machinery and hid in the shadows. It saw the worker walks towards the generator and watched. The worker flashed his light at the generator and dropped his jaw in disbelief.

"Holy shi- Hammer call the police!"

"Why?" Hammer asked, walking up to woods.

"Someone beat the crap out the generator." Woods explained, lighting up the two holes that went deep into the generators electronics.

"Who could've done that?" Hammer said in wonder.

"Hell if I know." Woods said, having no clue what happened.

The creature watched with its blank emotionless stare and watched the workers talk to each other. It backed up to hide and accidentally snapped a twig. The workers raising both their flashlights towards the sound.

"Hey, the asshole's still here." Woods said.

"Lets get em!" Hammer replied. Woods nodded his head and the two of them rushed to the source of the sound. The creature then spread its wings and started to hover above them.

The workers had stopped and looked at the area they heard the twig from and looked around with there flashlights. The two had saw nothing and had walked into a wall. Hammer scratched his head in confusion.

"Where could they have gone? The wall here is fifteen feet." Woods asked, looking at the concrete blocking their way. Hammer then heard a sticky wet sound drop and land on clothes. Hammer turned his head towards Woods and saw some type of drool had fell onto his shoulder.

"Woods, your shoulder." Hammer said. Woods looked at his right shoulder and looked at in disgust, trying to wipe it off with his gloves. Then they both heard a growl above them. The workers both looked up with their flashlights and saw two red eyes and a black insect body drooling at them. The two workers screamed, while the creature screeched and jumped towards them. The creatures screeching echoing through the construction site.
