The group watched with awe as the test dummy was hit by a snowball. The snowball made impact and immediately caused the test dummy to freeze and shatter into pieces. The group had entered the Agency and were in the Armory's training room. The group were behind the glass while Sugarcoat was inside shooting things with her magic. They were watched in amazement as Sugarcoat shattered every test dummy into pieces with a snowball.

"Thats so cool!" Lemon Zest said, to the groups annoyance.

"Really, a pun?" Sunny Flare said, cringing.

"What? That was all I could think of." She shrugged.

"That is some real magic, right there. How long did you say she had this?" Deacon said, impressed by what he sees.

"She said she had it for weeks. She managed to keep it a secret and was practicing every chance she got." Ronin explained.

"She's had powers longer than me." Indigo Zap stated, looking at the broken dummies in awe..

Starlight Glimmer was among them, looking at the magical power that Sugarcoat had.
She was impressed by what she could do and wanted to see what else she had. She moved to the front and pressed a button to talk into the room.

"Alright, you can stop now. Come back in so we can look at what the others can do." She ordered. Sugarcoat turned and gave them a thumbs up, taking off the headphones on her head.

Sugarcoat walked in and handed Lemon Zest the headphones. The Agents had complimented her skill and congratulated her. Indigo had zoomed infront of Sugarcoat and exclaimed her amazement.

"That was amazing, Sugarcoat!" Indigo said. Lemon Zest put on the headphones and nodded. She walked into the training room and stood in the center, she turned and waited for instructions.

"Okay, Lemon Zest, I want you to listen to everything I say. Got it?" Starlight asked. Lemon Zest nodded and awaited orders.

"Create a box." Starlight ordered.

"Okay. Create a box... I can do that." Lemon Zest mumbled. She closed her eyes and concentrated. When she was done concentrating two giant pink hands rose out of Lemon Zests actual hands. The Agents watched in amazement as she used the big hands to sculpt a pink box into existence. The pink box fell to the ground with a thud and fizzled in and out of existence. Starlight was intrigued by the fizzling that came out of the box.

"Get rid of the box." Starlight ordered. Lemon Zest snapped her fingers and made the box disappear within seconds.

"So, she can create objects with her magic." Starlight said, writing it down.

"Deacon, release the dummy's." She ordered. Deacon pressed a button on the wall and immediately caused three test dummy's to rise out of the ground. Lemon Zest looked at all three of them and waited for orders.

"We've established that you can make things with your magic. Now we need to know what else you can do. Try and smash the dummy on the left with a giant hand." Starlight ordered. Lemon Zest nodded and proceeded to concentrate, closing her eyes. She opened them when she had summoned giant pink hands out of her actual hands.

She smiled and clenched both of her hands. She raised the left up and stretched it over to the dummy on the left. When she aligned her hand with the top of the dummy's head she dropped her hand. Smashing the dummy from the weight of her magic.

The group behind the glass exclaimed at the sight of it. Lemon Zest looked back at the glass and saw the excitement on her friends faces. Starlight smiled approvingly and wrote what happened on the clipboard.

"Now create a spear and try to throw it at the dummy on the right." Starlight ordered. Lemon Zest looked at her and scratched her head. She was unsure if she could do that. Starlight took the hint and talked into the mic again.

"Try." She said.

Lemon Zest turned and looked at the dummy on the right and took a deep breath. She closed her eyes and concentrated. The giant pink hands formed around her hands again and she carefully sculpted a spear in the air. When she was done she had a long pink spear with a sharp tip. She grabbed onto it with her giant hand and grasped it. She looked at the dummy again and focused completely on it. She inhaled and exhaled slowly as she launched the pink spear construct into the air.

The group watched with anticipation as the spear flew towards the dummy. Starlight looked at the spear and was ready to write on her clipboard. Lemon Zest watched the spear pierce through the dummy and hit the ground behind it.

Lemon Zest freaked out and raised her arms in excitement. She turned to see the group inside the room smiling and clapping. She could see Starlight inside the room giving her a smile of approval.

"That'll be all. Come back inside." Starlight ordered. Lemon Zest walked in and greeted her friends. They had rushed around her and congratulated her. Starlight and Deacon watched the whole thing and stood in the sidelines.

"So what next, Madame?" Deacon asked.

"It's Indigo Zaps turn, now."

"You gonna put her on the field?" Deacon asked.

"Yes. I need to know how fast she can go." Starlight said. Starlight stepped up to the group, separating immediately.

"Good job, Sugarcoat. Lemon Zest. You've taught me a lot about your magic, today."

"Now what?" Lemon Zest asked.

"It's time for Indigo Zaps turn to show off. We'll be testing her in a different room." Starlight said.

"Where?" Indigo asked. Ronin and Sunny Flare exchange glances, knowing what room she was talking about. The group left the room and headed down the hallway and entered a big dark room. Starlight turned the lights on and revealed just how big the room was. The three students all looked inside with jaws dropped. The room was small, but had a window that revealed an even bigger room with tons of different equipment. Sugarcoat looked at the size of the room and realized it was as big as the football field at Crystal Prep, maybe bigger. There was a shooting range, a pool, a gym, and a fake two story house inside. All these things were within a giant path that went around the whole room.

"This is the training ground. It's what we put all our Agents in when they first start out." Starlight explained. They all looked down at the room and wondered how to get in.

"Follow me." Starlight said, opening a door on the side of the room. The group followed her and walked down the stairs that lead to the training ground. Starlight opened the door and let the group through first.

Indigo Zap walked in first and zoomed into the fake house. She zoomed back out and asked Starlight a question.

"Why is there a house in here?" Indigo asked.

"That house is used for closed quarters training. What to do and not to do when inside a house." Starlight explained.

"What are we in here?" Sugarcoat asked.

"This is where we'll be testing Indigo Zaps speed and endurance." Starlight explained, pointing to the track around the room.

"What am I gonna do?" Indigo asked.

"You're gonna run for as long as you can. Once we know your limit, then we can start to try other things." Starlight asked.

"But first, here you go." Starlight said, lightly straining. She gave Indigo a 60 pound weight with both of her arms. The groups eyes bulged as Indigo held it on one arm without any effort or strain, not even her muscles were showing. Starlight looked at Indigos arm and wrote on her clipboard.

"Are you trying?" Starlight asked.

"No, it's actually not that bad." Indigo said, truthfully. Starlight raised an eye and took more notes. She put the clipboard down and picked up the other 60 pound weight and gave it to Indigo.

"Now lift both of them up, but progressively faster." Starlight ordered. Indigo did what she said and slowly lifted them both, getting faster each time. Deacon from up in the control room pointed the security camera at Indigo Zap. He watched Indigo Zap lift the weights without any effort. He was stunned by how fast she was able to lift the weights. The group down there were stunned as well. Even Starlight was surprised by her speed. Deacon was so stunned that he didn't notice Indigos arm was just a blur on the camera.

Indigo Zap looked around the room while she was going and noticed how slow things were. She could see dust particles in the same spot for 30 seconds. She wondered how fast she was going. When she finally stopped, she felt sweat drip down her forehead.

Indigo Zap wiped the sweat off her forehead and looked at the groups faces. Starlight and the her friends were looking at her like she did something g wrong. She dropped the weights onto the ground and snapped them out of it. Starlight snapped out of it and tapped the mic.

"Deacon, how fast was that?" Starlight asked.

"That was so awesome!" Lemon Zest exclaimed.

"You were going really fast." Sugarcoat said, having nothing else to say.

Up in the control room, Deacon was at a loss of words. He snapped out of it and rushed towards the camera.

"She went faster than the camera could handle. Her arms are completely blurry. She broke camera 1." Deacon said in surprise. Starlight listened and raised her eyes. She was very impressed by how fast she was. She wrote it all down on her notes and continued the test.

"Okay, clear the track." Starlight ordered. The group immediately moved away from the track and watched as Indigo Zap prepared to run.

"How long do I go?"

"After you do a thousand miles." Starlight said.

"And how much laps would be a mile?" Indigo asked, stretching her muscles.

"4." She answered.

"Alright, I'm ready." Indigo Zap said, getting in position.

"You ready, Deacon?" Starlight asked.

"Camera 2 is ready to die." Deacon said.

"Start." Starlight ordered. Indigo zoomed off, leaving Starlight in the dust. Starlight and the group watched as Indigo Zap had passed by them multiple times. She was going so fast that they lost track of her. Instead all they saw was a blue blur that enveloped the whole track. Starlight couldn't believe what she was seeing. Indigo Zap was still picking up speed as she passed the starting line for the hundredth time.

Deacon looked out the window and saw the blue that enveloped the whole room. The blur blocked the inside of the room, so all he could see was the blur. Deacon looked at the camera for a second and noticed it was completely static. Deacon looked back out the window, completely dumbfounded.

"Done." Indigo said, exhaustingly. Inside the control room, Deacon had only one thing to say.

"Holy fu-"

"That was amazing!" Lemon Zest exclaimed, blocking out Deacon in Starlights ear.

The group had their own reactions to the speed they had witnessed from Indigo Zap. Starlight and Ronin were equally amazed by Indigos speed and were at a loss of words. Lemon Zest was the complete opposite of everyone else. She was jumping up and down in excitement. Indigo watched Lemon Zests reaction and laughed.

"Very excellent job, Indigo. Looking at you now, you don't seem to be that tired." Starlight observed. She was right, Indigo Zap had already stopped sweating and was starting to breath normally.

“So what now?” Indigo asked.

“Now that we’ve tested your powers we can accommodate them to the normal agent training. Follow me to this door.” Starlight said, directing them towards a door in the center of the track. The girls didn’t notice the door and looked at it in confusion.

“Has that door always been there?” Lemon Zest asked.

Deacon rushed down the stairs and jogged through the practice room, catching up to the group. Starlight opened the door, revealing a new set of stairs.

“How much stairs does this place have?” Lemon Zest asked in annoyance.

“Trust me, you don’t want to know.” Sunny Flare answered, Ronin turned his head and nodded with her.

“Where are we going?” Sugarcoat asked.

“Science division. We’re gonna be meeting with our head scientist, Professor Ion. Starlight answered. They reached the top of the stairs and opened the door that led to the science room.

In the room was rows of tables filled with microscopes, science equipment, and machinery. The room was very reminiscent of Crystal Preps science room, except millions more funding.

At the far left side of the room was a wide open space that had a projector in the middle, lighting up a X-ray of a familiar alien.

“Is that Taurens body?” Indigo asked.

“Yes.” Tauren said, behind her. Indigo Zap flinched and jumped away in fright. Deacon moved up and shook hands with Tauren.

“Hey, T.” Deacon greeted. Tauren nodded and replied.

“Good afternoon, Deacon.” Tauren said.

“Madame.” Tauren and the scientists said in unison, saluting Starlight Glimmer.

“At ease.” Starlight said. A scientist approached Starlight and greeted her.

"Good afternoon, Madame, I see you brought new recruits." Professor Ion said in a british accent. He looked at the three new faces in his lab and wondered why Starlight brought them here.

"Good afternoon, Ion. I'd like you to meet our new recruits Indigo Zap, Lemon Zest, and Sugarcoat." Starlight said, introducing them. Professor Ion gave them a nod and a wave. The three of them gave their own waves and hello's. After that was done, Indigo and the group moved towards Tauren to talk. Starlight and Professor Ion stayed behind and talked. Ion grabbed papers from a nearby scientist and showed them to Starlight.

"We did a full body scan of Tauren's anatomy and I have to say he's an exceptional example of his species." Ion complimented. He pointed at Tauren's skull and continued. Starlight looked at the X-ray and noticed a large tumor on the side of his brain.

“Tauren had a tumor?” Starlight said with concern.

“Yes and no. It’s a tumor, but not like any we’ve seen before. The tumor did absolutely nothing to him- he didn’t even know he had a tumor until we showed him the X-ray.” Ion explained.

“We performed surgery on him and successfully removed the tumor.” Ion said, showing Starlight the next image of the tumor on a table.

“We talked about it and we came up with a theory that would explain the tumor from the little information he gave us.”

“And your theory?” Starlight asked.

“We believe the tumor was never a tumor to begin with, but was a vessel used by the real monster, lilith." Ion said. Starlight thought about what he said and nodded in agreement. The two of them continued to talk to eachother while the gang had left to see Tauren.

“Hey, Tauren.”

“Hello, Indigo. I heard Starlight was testing your powers?”

“Yeah. I can do stuff really fast without getting tired, apparently. These are my friends they also have powers like me.” Indigo said. Tauren looked behind her and saw Lemon Zest and Sugarcoat waving hello.

“What powers do they have?” Tauren asked.

“Lemon Zest can make stuff from her mind and Sugarcoat can control the weather. She made it snow, today.” Indigo answered Tauren.

“You don't look like the guy on tv.” Lemon Zest said, causing Tauren to raise an eye. Sugarcoat elbowed her shoulder.

“Uh, I mean. You don’t have horns and you look human and yeah...” Lemon Zest said in embarrassment.

“It’s nice to know that we’re not alone in the universe.” Sugarcoat said, offering a handshake. Tauren shook her hand and corrected her.

“Actually, Im not from this universe.”

“The multiverse theory is true?” Sugarcoat asked. Tauren nodded his head.


The train roared as it grinded to a halt. Within seconds of stopping, the doors opened up. Crowds of people exited out the train and walked up the stairs to the outside world. The subway was more packed than usual due to the snow that had fallen.

The driver took a sip of his soda as he watched the crowds of people enter the train with his cameras. He was too preoccupied by the cameras to notice a tall figure come out the shadows, infront of the tracks.

Crackdown got infront of the trains window and peeked inside. The driver still hadn't noticed the rock man in his front window.

Crackdown raised his hand and formed a fist. He reached for the window and proceeded to knock three times. The driver heard the knocks and jumped a little. He turned around and looked at the door behind him and saw nobody was there.

He rolled his eyes and shook his head.

“Damn, kids.” He said, turning back around. He took another big sip of his soda and finished it off. That was when he finally saw the rock that was looking at him through the front window. Crackdown gave him a mischievous smile and waved his hand.

The driver gasped and spit out his drink. He got up from his seat and freaked out. His voice frightfully stuttered as he walked backwards.

“Ma.. mo... mon...”

Crackdown laughed as he punch his arm through the glass window. Crackdowns arm had reached the driver, grabbing him. The driver screamed as he was lifted up inside his train.

“This’ll be fun.” Crackdown said, smiling sadistically. The driver screamed from hearing the rock speak English.

The new crowd of people that had entered the train sat in silence, waiting for the train to move. Instead they all jumped in surprise when they felt the train bump and shake. The people who were standing were struggling to stand up. The rest were holding onto a pole.

They could hear bending metal and could feel the train shake and creak. The loudest sound of all was the footsteps that made the floor vibrate. Then the front of the train was ripped open with a loud rip. The crowd all turned towards the front of the train and saw Crackdown throwing the piece of the train he ripped off to the side. The people could see the drivers side of the train was completely crushed by the rock monster that stood in front of them.

The crowd screamed in fear as they got up out of their seats and rushed towards the doors. Crackdown laughed and stepped inside the train and walked over to the doors as well. Everyone in the subway rushed outside in fright, leaving behind the security guards.

The security had rushed to the train and pulled out their guns. Crackdown grabbed the door frame and pushed it wider. He walked out the train and stood at full height, looking down at the terrified security guards.

“Do- don’t move!” The guard stuttered, his body was shaking in fear. Crackdown smiled and laughed at the shaking guards. Crackdown took a step forward, causing the guards to step back.

“Stop moving!” The guard ordered. Crackdown didn’t listen and took another step forward. The guards stepped back again, and started to sweat.

“Don’t move! Don’t mo-“ The guard was pushed back by Crackdowns arm making contact with his chest. The guard flew back and hit the wall, causing it to crack. The other guards watched their fallen comrade hit the floor. They didn’t know if he was alive, but they couldn’t see him move. The guards looked back at Crackdown and fired.

“Open fire!” The guard shouted, shooting a barrage of bullets towards Crackdown. Crackdown charged them and rushed forward with fists in the air.


Norman And Adagio drove through the streets at fast speeds. They easily drove through streets without any worry to civilians. After the Agency went public, they were given a few upgrades to their cars. The newly installed sirens blared loudly above the car. Anyone within hearing distance knew to get out of the way.

Norman, Adagio, and Bonbon prepared for what was ahead of them. Shining Armor had called them for assistance with fighting Crackdown. Norman knew the police were losing by the tone in Shinings voice.

"So, any idea how to fight this guy?" Norman asked. Adagio shrugged her shoulders in response.

"We got rockets." Bonbon said, pulling out a rocket launcher in the backseat, the front of the rocket poking Norman in the back of the head.

"Watch where you point that!" Norman exclaimed, gripping the wheel intensly.

"That was in the backseat?" Adagio asked, looking behind her.

"Yeah, the seats are hollow, see. Norman has the rocket and your seat has the ammo." Bonbon said, showing off the compartments.

"I'm gonna have to ask Deacon what the hell they added to the Agency cars." Norman said, out loud.

"Do you think we'll need the rocket?" Adagio asked. Norman was then forced to hit the brakes when a burning car flew by them. The three of them watched the car fly to the left of the street, bits and pieces falling onto the road. They watched it land with a thud and blow up upon impact.

"I think we'll need more than rockets." Bonbon said. Norman made a right turn and stopped the car. Infront of them was a huge battle with the rock monster and the police. Police were cowering behind their cars as they fired bullets at the giant rock monster. Crackdown held his ground the whole fight and was slowly getting closer and closer to the cops. Civilians were running for their lives on the sidewalks trying to avoid the monster and the gunshots.

The agents exited out the vehicle and opened the trunk. Norman pressed a button in the trunk and opened up the secret compartment. The secret compartment held guns and ammo inside. Bonbon grabbed the electric charges and grenades.

Norman and Adagio grabbed guns and ammo while Bonbon left with all the heavy weapons.

“I hope this is enough.” Norman said. The three ran towards the battle and reached the cop cars where they promptly cowered behind. They snuck there way to Shining Armor who was busy shooting the monster. Norman grabbed Shinings shoulder which startled him.

“It’s just you guys. Woah.” Shining Armor said, looking at the weapons they were carrying.

“I got your call. What’s going on?”

“Crackdown showed up in a subway and attacked the train. The civilians escaped but the driver and all the security guards are missing. We’re assuming the worse.” Shining Armor said. The groups faces went serious at the assumption.

“I have to get in the subway.” Norman said.

“I’m going with you. You’ll need help.” Adagio said. Norman nodded in agreement and stuck his head out. Crackdown was getting closer and closer towards them. Norman looked behind Crackdown and saw the entrance to the subway. He ducked his head back and discussed the plan.

“You, Bonbon, and the rest of you guys distract Crackdown. Me and Adagio will sneak past Crackdown while he’s distracted and look for the missing people.” Norman ordered. Shining Armor and Bonbon nodded their heads in agreement and went to work.

Bonbon moved in closer and threw electric charges onto the ground infront of Crackdown. Crackdown looked at the device and picked it up. Bonbon pulled the trigger in her hand and activated the charges. Crackdown was immediately enveloped by a burst of electricity. Crackdown shouted in pain and fell to his knees as the electricity struck his body.

“Quick, while he’s down. Go!” Bonbon said. Norman and Adagio nodded and quickly snuck on the sidewalk and walked past Crackdown.

The two of them reached the subway and pulled out their flashlights. The subway lights flickered and crackled, sparks falling onto the ground.

“You ready?” Norman asked.

“It’s nothing compared to what I’ve seen.” Adagio said, walking down the stairs.

Back at the Agency, the group watched the chaos on the news through the giant projector on the wall. They were shocked to see the police getting destroyed by the giant rock monster. The group stood there with anger as the rock monster turned the street into a battleground.

“We’ve gotta do something!” Lemon Zest exclaimed.

“Tauren.” Starlight said.

“Yes, ma’am?”

“Get out there. Ronin and Sunny will catch up with you.” Starlight ordered. Tauren nodded his head and walked towards the main door. Indigo zoomed infront of him and stopped him from advancing.

“We want to help.” Indigo said, solemnly. Tauren turned his head and waited for Starlight to respond.

“No.” Starlight said.

“Why?”

“None of you are remotely ready to face a threat like this. This isn’t a monster, this is a escaped criminal.”

“But sending Sunny Flare and your own son to fight criminal is okay?” Sugarcoat blurted out with her arms crossed. Starlight glared at Sugarcoat with a death stare that actually made Sugarcoat drop her stance.

“My son and Sunny Flare have been training under the Agency since they became teenagers. I trust the two of them to handle criminals more than a bunch of kids with superpowers.” Starlight exclaimed. Deacon, the group, and the scientists glanced back and forth at each other. Tauren was surprised to see Starlight drop her serious demeanor like that and opted to end it.

“The Madame says no, Indigo. Let me go and help them.” Tauren pleaded. Indigo looked up at him and sighed, dropping her arms. She zoomed back into the room and let him go.

“Thanks.”

“Beat him up for us!” Lemon Zest exclaimed.

“I will.” Tauren said, leaving the room. Starlight turned back to the group and glared at them.

“You three may have powers, but you don’t have any experience in fighting. I’m not going to risk any of your lives. Especially against a criminal.” Starlight said.

“Then don’t. We don’t have to be near him at all.” Indigo said. The group looked at Indigo with confusion.

“What do you mean?” Starlight asked.

"What do all of our powers have in common?" Indigo asked. The group thought about it and came up with nothing.

"They're awesome?" Lemon Zest guessed. Indigo Zap rolled her eyes and answered them.

"We can all use our powers at range."

"Go on." Starlight said, taking in what she said.

"You started the snow storm this morning, right?" Indigo asked, looking at Sugarcoat.

"Yes, but it took a lot out of me to do it. But I don't see why you're asking me. What can I do against that thing?"

"Sugarcoat, you can influence the weather. All you have to do is make another storm and hit him with whatever you can muster."

"So, hail?" Sugarcoat asked.

"I was thinking thunder." Indigo said. Sugarcoat raised an eyebrow and sighed.

"I can try."

"But what can I do?" Lemon Zest asked.

"You can make things with your mind. So how 'bout throwing spears from a rooftop? Better yet, you can make a bow." Indigo suggested.

"Just like archery class!" Lemon Zest exclaimed.

But what about you?" Sunny Flare asked.

"I can go around getting people out. I'm faster than a bullet, remember? If anything he'll just be seeing a flash of light."

"What do you think, mom?" Ronin asked. Starlight took in what Indigo Zap had said and thought it out in her mind. She couldn't see any major problems that couldn't be avoided in her plan and proceeded to nod her head.

"If you don't engage him in hand-to-hand and keep out of range, then I'll allow it. But as soon as this is over you three and Sour Sweet start training, immediately. Got that?" Starlight said, making herself clear."

"Yes, ma'am!" The three of them exclaimed, saluting her.

"This is great and all, but how are you gonna get there? Tauren teleported in about five minutes ago." Deacon asked, waving his hand towards the projector. On the projector, a reporter was filming Tauren and Crackdown, in combat, through a building's window.

"Simple." Indigo Zap said, letting her actions speak for herself. She moved between Sugarcoat and Lemon Zest and put one hand on both their shoulders.

"What are you doing?" The both of them asked.

"If we're gonna get there in a instant, we'll have to get there with my superspeed. Just be prepared and close your eyes." Indigo Zap said. The two of them listened to her and braced for whatever was about to happen.

"And don't breath." Indigo warned, catching the two of them off guard.

"What?" They both said before disappearing out of the room with Indigo Zap, speeding them out of the building. It was just the scientists, Starlight, Ronin, and Sunny Flare left in the room. Sunny Flare and Ronin glanced back at each other and sighed.

"I guess we're driving."


Down in the subway, Norman and Adagio walked through the pitch black halls with flashlights on hand. They looked for any signs of the missing guards and the driver. They took in the structural damage and gulped. The subway was shaking and pieces of concrete were falling off the ceiling. Adagio kept moving with Norman behind her.

"Hello?" Norman shouted, his voice echoing through the subway.

"Over here..." A man's voice strained to their right. They turned to their right and pointed their flashlights at the source. They saw a man staring at them, doing his best to cover his eyes from the bright light. He struggled to hold his arm up as he waved at them. Norman and Adagio rushed towards the man and knelt beside him. The man's shirt was torn off, revealing the cuts and bruises on his green body.

"Can you move?" Norman asked. Adagio stood up and shined the light on the man's wounds and saw the extent of the damage. The man had been thrown into the wall, back first. His back might be broken.

"Where's the others?" Norman asked. The man coughed and looked up at Norman with red eyes.

"Over there." The man said, pointing infront of him. Adagio followed the direction of his finger and pointed the flashlight in that area. The rest of the security were lying on the ground in pain. The sight of their broken bodies and groans unsettled them. With the subway collapsing at any time and the driver still missing. The two of them wondered how they were going to get them all out.

Meanwhile above ground, Shining Armor and Bonbon were busy dealing with Crackdown. Bonbon and the officers continued shooting at Crackdown while he was getting electrocuted. Crackdown laid there in pain as the anger inside him began to build up.

Crackdown roared as he tried to stand up. He lifted his left leg and kneeled. Bonbon realized he was gonna break free and pulled out the rocket launcher. Shining Armor looked at the launcher with wide eyes.

“Your gonna use that?”

“I have a clear shot with no chance of missing. Of course I’m gonna use the rocket launcher.” Bonbon exclaimed.

Crackdown roared as he slowly stood up to full height. He clenched his fists and dropped them down on the charges. The sheer force of his arms broke the charges, disabling the electricity. He lifted his fists back up in the air and laughed.

He looked up at the officers and was immediately hit, dead center, in the chest. The force of the rocket was enough to blow Crackdown thirty feet in the air. He roared in pain as he hit the street, again. His impact left a huge crater in the ground.

Bonbon and the officers stopped firing. Not taking any risks. They stood their ground and stared at the crater. They didn’t see Crackdown and wondered if they had beat him.

“Did we win?” An officer asked.

As he said that, a rocky hand rose out of the crater. Then Crackdown came out of the crater with pure rage.

“Fire again!” Shining ordered, shooting at Crackdown. Crackdown moved forward, completely silent. The rumbling his feet made was the only sound he was making. Bonbon pulled out a grenade and threw it at Crackdown. The grenade hit Crackdowns chest and fell on the road.

The grenade exploded with a loud bang, but Crackdown didn’t react at all. His huge rocky body walked through the explosion with no effect.

Crackdown unclenched his fists and hit the road, obtaining pavement in the road. He raised both hands and clenched them. He roared and threw the pavement at the officers on his sides, leaving the front safe.

“Do you got a backup?” Shining asked.

“The rocket was the backup.” Bonbon said, breathlessly.

“Oh shit. Fall back!” Shining Armor ordered. The officers complied and retreated into the sidewalks. Bonbon and Shining Armor started to run but we’re stopped by Crackdown. Crackdown picked up Shinings police car and raised it in the air.

“You tried, but it wasn’t enough.” Crackdown laughed. Crackdown dropped the car on top of them and laughed. He watched as the car flew down on top of them.

Then it suddenly stopped. Crackdown stopped laughing and looked at the car in disbelief. Crackdown then noticed a huge red hand hold onto the door frame and crush it. Crackdown watched in disbelief as the car was crushed infront of him, revealing a a huge red creature with horns.

The red creature glared at him as it stood up to full height. The two of them stared at each other face to face. The red creature was the same height as him. The creature flexed his huge muscles and flared it’s nostrils.

“Stop what you’re doing, now.” Tauren said, threateningly.

“What the hell are you?” Crackdown asked, glaring at him.

“I could say the same to you, Crackdown.” Tauren said, causing Crackdown to tense up.

“How do you know my name?”

“I know a lot of things about you, Crackdown. I know that you’re just a criminal looking for revenge. I’ve seen what you’ve done. The people you’ve hurt.” Tauren said, giving him a death stare. Crackdown raised his eye and shook his head.

“So, Satan has a heart, huh?” Crackdown said, referring to Tauren's appearance. Tauren was unphased by it and stood his ground.

"Stop this useless fighting and turn yourself in. You need help in a hospital, not in an asylum."

"I need help? You're a demon for Gods sake! And i'm not going anywhere until I've got what I wanted."" Crackdown exclaimed.

"And that is?"

"To kill you." Crackdown said, knocking Tauren back with a huge punch. Bonbon and Shining Armor watched as the two began fighting each other. Shining Armor and the officers looked at the fight in disbelief. This was the first time they were seeing the real Tauren. And he was helping them.

"Is that-"

"Yes, that's Tauren." Bonbon cut him off.

"He looks.. so much like-"

"Don't even finish that." Bonbon said, defending her friend.

Crackdown gave up on Bonbon and the others and focused his rage towards Tauren. Tauren had just stood back up from the punch when he was immediately assaulted by Crackdown. Tauren flinched as he was rapidly punched in the stomach by Crackdown. Tauren fell back down and was pushed onto the ground. Crackdown stood on top of him and lifted his foot in the air. He broght his foot down on Taurens chest and crushed him deeper into the pavement. Crackdown stomped him repeatedly in an effort to tire him out. It seemed like it was working, but he was wrong. When he lifted his foot in the air, Tauren took this chance to grab his foot before it could land.

Tauren stopped Crackdowns assault and threw him to his left. Crackdown flew in the air and crashed through the front of a store. Crackdown destroyed the roof and landed on tables, crushing them under his weight. He groaned and crushed another table, getting up. Tauren walked towards the building and entered through the huge hole. He looked at Crackdown who was struggling to stand up. Tauren concentrated and formed a yellow mist through his hand. He pointed his hand at Crackdown and released the yellow mist. The mist travelled and enveloped Crackdown. Crackdown was pushed back onto the floor by the mist.

"What is this?"

"You don't know whats going on here, do you?" Tauren asked, keeping Crackdown restrained.

"I've been in prison." He growled.

"I'll be sure to give your cell a tv, then."

"I'm not going anywhere!" Crackdown roared, his rage reaching out of his control. Crackdown tensed and squirmed around in the mist. Tauren was losing his grasp and tried to hold it. Crackdown began to roar and raised his fists. His roar echoed through the building and into the streets. Tauren lost his grasp and broke the connection, sweating profusely. Crackdown punched Tauren in the face and kicked him into the kitchen. Taurens body flew through the wall and landed with a thud.

Crackdown entered the kitchen and lifted Tauren up with one arm. Tauren tried to break free from his hold, but he was punched in the face repeatedly. Crackdown punched with the strength of a moving train, pounding on Taurens face with his rock fist. Crackdown threw him out the front of the store and continued the fight outside.

Bonbon and the officers had taken the fight as a chance to get more civilians out. Luckily they succeeded in getting the civilians out of harm. All they could do now was shoot Crackdown in an attempt to weaken him. Nothing they had was working on him.

Tauren was lying there on the street in pain. As he laid there he suddenly heard the sound of a car scraping the road. He turned his head to his right and saw Crackdown slowly walking towards him, dragging a police car behind him.

Tauren tried to get up, but to no avail. He was to weak to move. He struggled to lift his arm in an attempt to use his magic, but also failed to keep his arm up. Crackdown laughed at his weakness. He was enjoying every minute.

“I never thought I’d ever kill a demon before. But I’m not complaining.” Crackdown laughed, picking up the car.

“So much for arresting me, demon.” Crackdown said. Tauren closed his eyes in anticipation for the pain, but nothing happened. Suddenly a giant pink anvil fell on Crackdown, crushing him under it. Tauren was caught off guard by the sudden anvil and looked at it in disbelief. He looked to his left and a blue blue zoom past him and head into a two building to his left. Crackdown, still under the crater, didn’t see a thing.

“Remember the plan, girls. I get the people out of the subway, while you two distract him long enough for Tauren to make a comeback.”

“Right.” The two of them said, nodding their heads. Indigo quickly zoomed off and headed into the subway. Sugarcoat and Lemon Zest went to the roof and looked down at the street. Sugarcoat raised her eyes when she saw the pink anvil crushing Crackdown.

“An anvil? Gee, where’d you come up with that?” Sugarcoat asked.

“It was all I could think of at the moment.”

“Keep him down there. I’m gonna try something.” Sugarcoat said, starting to concentrate. Lemon Zest looked at her anvil and waited for it to move. When the anvil started to shake she quickly thought up another one and slammed down on top of the first anvil. Sending both Crackdown and the anvil deeper underground.

Tauren recovered and struggled to stand up. He stretched every part of his body and felt relief everytime he heard a bone crack. He was definitely going to feel this all in the morning.

Tauren looked back up at the anvil and recognized the form of magic in use. He looked at the anvil with impressed eyes. He never thought he’d see a giant pink anvil save his life. Tauren quickly took this opportunity to heal himself with magic. Tauren wondered where Lemon Zest could be and looked around. He looked on the roof of a two story and saw Lemon Zest waving at him. Tauren waved back and gave her a thumbs up.

Deep underground Crackdowns rage had mutated to an animalistic rage. He didn’t have time to think and only focused on his strength. Crackdown roared like an animal and held onto the anvil. Within seconds Crackdown broke out of the anvils, causing them to disappear. Lemon Zest eyes bulged at the sight of the enraged rock and looked at Sugarcoat.

“Sugarcoat, he’s really angry!” Lemon Zest said, getting nervous.

“Hold on.” Sugarcoat said.

Tauren looked at the berserk sediment and quickly formed a bubble shield around him. Crackdown sprinted towards Tauren and Rammed the bubble shield, nearly breaking it. Tauren looked at the damage and gulped.

He looked up at the clouds through the shield and noticed it was starting to rain heavily. That was when he realized what was going to happen. Tauren looked at Crackdown as he punched the shield and closed his eyes, teleporting out of there. Crackdown stopped his punches mid swing and looked at the empty shield in confusion. As he looked around the street for any of sign of Tauren, he noticed the street was cleared. All that was left was him and the damage he caused. He roared as he thought they ran off, only to be hit from above.

"ZAP!!!"

A huge lightning bolt struck Crackdown, sending waves of shock through his body. He screamed in pain as he felt the scorching heat sting his rocky surface. He tried to walk, but was immediately hit by another bolt of lightning. The second bolt cracking a huge piece of his body off. Lemon Zest saw the cracks and tried to tell Sugarcoat, but she already dropped another bolt of lightning. Crackdown was sent face first into the street, as his arm flung off him to the side of the street. Lemon Zest gasped and grew sick to her stomach.

"Sugarcoat, I think you got him." Lemon Zest exclaimed. Sugarcoat stopped and walked to the ledge, taking in the sight. She flinched in disgust at the separated rocky appendage and felt bad for him. They saw Crackdown slowly get up with one arm and did nothing. Crackdown looked at his fallen right arm and looked at the perfectly preserved human arm where his previous rock arm was. He heard a flash infront of him and looked up to see Tauren looking down at him in pity.

"Give up, yet?" Tauren asked. Crackdown glared at Tauren and roared.

He clenched his one rock arm and reeled in for a punch, Tauren easily countered his advance and punched him in the face. The force of the punch broke through his head and revealed his real human face. Tauren grabbed the unconscious Crackdown and watched as the rock slowly cracked off him, revealing Crackdowns real body. Tauren took this moment to catch his breath. The fight was over. He and the girls had saved it. Seeing news vehicles approach, he held onto the unconscious Crackdown and teleported away.


Inside a building, Two guards carried a heavily restrained Crackdown to his cell. He showed no resistance and simply glared at the guards that past by him. The two guards stopped at a lone cell and opened it. Throwing him inside, he struggled to get up without his hands. He glared at the smiling guards and charged them. They quickly closed the door and laughed when Crackdown hit the door.

"Welcome to Tartarus, Crackdown."

Crackdown struggled to get back up and glared at the guards on the other side of the door.

“I swear, when I get out, you’ll be the first to die.” Crackdown threatened. The guard cracked a smile and laughed.

“I’d love to see you try.” He said, blowing bubblegum in his face. The guards laughed at the angry prisoner and left him alone. Crackdown, in a fit of rage, charged at the door repeatedly.

“You won’t get out by crying.” A voice said in the dark. Crackdown stopped his charging and turned around. He looked at the dark cell and focused his vision. In the dark was a green man with dark green hair, lying on the bed.

“So you’re the rock guy on tv.”

“How do you know that?” Crackdown asked, his answer came when a tv screen in the dark side of the room lit up.

“You’ve got everyone talking.”

“Who are you?” Crackdown asked.

“Someone who’s got power, like you. They don’t know it, though. Except you.” The man said. Crackdown recalled his memory and remembered Neo’s plan. He realized who he was talking too.

“You must be, Nitro Blast.” Crackdown said, getting the man’s attention. He sat up from the bed and peeked his head out of the shadows.

“Now, how do you know that?”

“I work with Neo, and I have a message from your sister.” Crackdown said. The man stared at him in silence before cracking a smile.

“Go on.”


Author's Note

Possibly the longest chapter in the story. Thank you for waiting so long. Unfortunately, I never got to see the mop movie because of the wildfire, but I did see the three shorts. They were good and they left a lot open to expand upon in fanfics. Then the YouTube shorts came out and ruined a lot of ideas I had for my stories. Overall, they were pretty good.

Thanks for reading my story. Please leave a comment if you see any grammar or spelling mistakes.
