Dark Sun Celestia

Two security ponies were standing guard at the door. Two more stood behind the door, invisible to any outside observers. But no the those opposite the bank, sitting in an unassuming armored carriage. The occupants of the carriage had been planning this heist for a long time. Five of them, each given a code name corresponding to a celestial body. The ringleader was Mr. Jupiter, a bald stallion with white eyes, a face marked with scars and mask that covered his mouth. This man was larger than the others, the unquestioned leader and the one sitting back, as if to meditate.

The man to his right, appropriate considering his status as Jupiter's right hand stallion, was Mr. Pluto. A diminutive stallion, a relative newcomer to the criminal lifestyle, Pluto was taken adopted by Jupiter from an orphanage. They were distant relatives, and Jupiter had been quick to snatch him so as to bolster his ranks. Pluto was a natural thief, a true speedster. He could snatch and run better than anyone in Equestria but his true talent was blending in the crowd. He had the uncanny ability to camouflage himself amongst crowds and virtually any scenery. How he did this was kept as a trade secret.

Mr. Mars was the man sitting opposite Jupiter. A true pony of war, Mars had spent much of his life fighting in guerilla wars all throught Equestria, working as a mercenary for anyone with the bits to spend. He was a loose cannon, a true cowpony, someone who thought rules didn't apply to him. Working wth him was treacherous, as most would attest. He had once beat a co-worker to death over a spilled cup of coffee. During a mission. Jupiter had been reluctant to take him into this mission but he knew that Mar's ability to fight outweighed his volatility.

In the front of the carriage, the drivers if the carriage was moving, were Mr. Neptune and Saturn, identical twins. Both had blue hair, and both were unicorns. The two were noted metamorphs, able to transform their bodies into anything they needed. They could poses as other ponies, inanimate objects, even the wind, the sky. They were involved in the great heist of the Fillydelphia Sierra Madre casino when they outwitted an entire security team and Princess Celestia, stealing several million bits. It is said that not even the twins knew how they gained the ability to metamorph as it is not a power normally asociated with unicorns.

All five of the prospective criminals were wearing stylish black two piece suits, similar to those seen in the catwalks of Canterlot, altough these were custom-made and untraceable. All except Jupiter were wearing black sunglasses, less a stylistic statment and more a means to hide one's identity without wearing unattractive masks.
Jupiter took a bag from under his seat and opened it in the middle of the carriage. Inside were several guns, designed to be used either in the mouth, or otherwise with the front hooves. Jupiter took them and gave his companions their weapons.

"Five of a kind. there's about 15 security guards in that bank. They're not gonna let us in without a fight. No use for stealth. You two go in first. Keep the guns hidden, they won't suspect a thing. I'll come in and make my move my move. Then both of you make yours. The twins should already be inside. They'll sneak in once we start. Now." He points an accusing finger at Mars. "no killing unless necessary. This should look routine. Anything out of the extraordinary and our friend at Canterlot will make his move on us. And I don't want that to happen. Not yet anyway"

Mars nods his head and touches his chest. "I promise I'll try. So what were we stealing today."

"The orb of the Solarium, one of the time relics left by Queen Chronos. This, along with the orb of the Lunarium, and my... other stone will allow us to execute the final stage of our plan."

"What plan is that?"

"Taking control of the sun of course."
