It's been five years since Spike last saw Twilight Sparkle, or any of his old friends for that matter. He's since joined the Royal Guard, and was placed into the Investigation Bureau, and moved on from his childhood. Or so he thought. He picks up a lead one day to a string of recent murders linked to a new and upcoming gang, comprised of people he long thought gone. Spike finds an unexpected ally, one that he used to be quite close to. With their help, perhaps they can stop this gang once and for all.

120% Co-written with We'll_Never_Know. I take only half the credit for the story, as for we both worked together, and put in an equal amount of effort to write this.
