The City of Canterlot; The Office of Mayor Melinda Mare

For now four whole years there have been unexplained events occurring in the area around the city of Canterlot. Originating at the front lawn of one of their most prestigious and well known schools; Canterlot High School, home to the Wondercolts an plethora of students and staff from all walks of life and in recent years? That criteria had gotten even more expansive with the arrival of one such student. Sunset Shimmer; a girl who was no mere girl, female for sure but her actual race? That was where things got tricky. Beyond the great stallion statue on the front lawn of Canterlot High exists a portal to Sunset's home world, a place of magic and mystery known as Equestria and in the beginning Sunset Shimmer's plans for this world and for Equestria were safe to say not of pure intent.

However after the intervention of a certain magical purple princess who had aid from five kind, funny, generous, honest and loyal girls? Sunset's evil plans for Equestrian domination were thwarted and Sunset Shimmer was given a chance to redeem herself and while it was a long process she had gotten her chance to shine.

When three devious, manipulative and cunning sirens had taken control of the minds of hundreds in the city with full intent on taking the entire world? It was Sunset Shimmer and her will power and willingness to do good that saved the day in the end, accepting the power of harmony as the 7th element of harmony: Empathy. She had earned the favor of her peers and had begun a new path that she was more than happy to walk. During the Friendship games when CHS would go toe to toe with their rivals at Crystal Prep; star student Twilight Sparkle had used magic she didn't understand under the blackmail and pressure of her schools now previous principal Cinch and transformed into a reality destroying monster called Midnight Sparkle and it was Sunset who managed to harness all seven of the elements of harmony and transform into Daydream Shimmer to defeat her and make her see sense; again saving the day.

Then recently in the Everfree forest dozens of lives were saved and a national landmark was preserved thanks to the efforts of the same seven girls who also managed to defeat a raging plant girl. Then finally at Canterlot City mall very recently a young girl was transformed into what can only be described as a giant movie diva and he was talked down by a random girl...who also happened to be a unicorn from the world Sunset Shimmer is from. All of these things taken into account its very obvious that magic is on the loose and needs to be contained, controlled and studied as its affects are much different than they are in Equestria. This is why the local band known as The Rainbooms, have all been called here today.

It was getting close to the beginning of summer and all seven of the rainbooms had passed their classes, gotten their year books, Rainbow Dash had one big final soccer match to bring a trophy home from and there was still the big graduation party that was being planned by Pinkie Pie, Vinyl Scratch and freshmen Cheese Sandwich. Many of the rainbooms had their plans set for after high school with only a few of them deciding to take up college at the local university while the others would be content working for a living where they already do. However with all the magic attacks and reports coming in lately countermeasures were needed and rather than sending in cops and SWAT to bring these girls in and force them to reveal how their powers work, Mayor Mare had a more traditional, humane and admittedly fun way of handling this.

Currently the mayor sat at her desk with her hands folded and her glasses framed on her face as she kept her expression neutral. She was dressed in a grey business suit and her hair was long and grey of the same shade. She had each of the seven girls sitting comfortably in front of her each with a folder in their hands detailing what it is she wanted from them and what the deal would be. After a good 20 minutes the first one to speak up was Rainbow Dash who promptly closed the folder, slapped it down on the mayor's desk and said

"I'M IN! WE GET TO BE SUPER HEROES AND IT'S LEGAL?! THIS IS AWESOME!!" Rainbow exclaimed

"Totes! We get to be registered pro heroes like in my hero academia!" Pinkie announced having been watching that anime a lot lately with Applejack and the rest of the girls.

"Ah think its a mighty fine idea really; ah mean heck we do a lot for this here town already, don't see no harm in doin' a lil more; 'specially if it means we can set a good example for the kids." Applejack stated having taking considerable time to look over the document to make sure there weren't any loopholes, she could spot a lie or half truth faster than anyone and so she, Rarity, Sunset and Twilight ALWAYS handled contracts and documents like this.

"Plus with how much tourism we would bring in? I mean we already agreed to stay together as a band once we graduate and we have that big summer concert coming up next month for the 4th of July to debut to more people but now we will OPENLY be super heroes?! Oh this is sure to be fabulous! IMAGINE ALL THE NEW COSTUMES I COULD MAKE?!" Rarity said as her eyes started sparkling and she squeed. "Eeeeee! I'm already getting inspiration flashes!!!"

"Well as long as its safe and we are doing good for others I can't say this is a bad thing...I just hope really scary super villains don't show up...again" Fluttershy muttered still a bit unsure about everything because of the danger level of it all but it appeared that the mayor had taken all safety measures into account especially with Fluttershy in mind.

"And you'll be giving us full access to the old golden oaks library?! And to live in!!! Eeeeeeeee! I've wanted to set up a lab there for sooooo long but I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get the property because it was set to be demolished! Oh thank you thank you thank you sooooo much Miss.Mare!" Twilight Sparkle aka Sci-Twi squealed with joy as she read over the document a few dozen times. She found no errors, no holes, no risk, no attempts to use them as sideshow clowns or attractions; the mayor genuinely wanted them to do good as super heroes for the city because she saw the good in them and she also personally recognized Twilight's brilliance and knew she could use her brains to help better the city even beyond begin a hero.

As Sunset Shimmer finished reading everything she kept an even expression. As she put the document down she stood up, walked up the mayor and extended out her hand with her expression still neutral. The other girls knew what this meant and it would be the final yes or no when it came to the final call. Sunset was their leader, the one who always made the big decision and often made the best calls and more so now than ever since she was able to read the thoughts and hearts of others via direct contact or even full telepathic if she focused hard enough or if one of them ended up over using their powers which caused an imbalance.

The mayor didn't hesitate, taking the young woman's hand firmly she would allow her to read her mind and see her thoughts. What Sunset saw was the mayor going over the plans day and night for three straight months, going over every detail, making sure everything suited the needs of not just the people but the girls who would be serving them. She wanted the best for the city that had elected her to office, these girls were apart of that just as much as the citizens and the mayor wanted the best for them as well as everyone else especially if they would be putting their lives in danger to help others or taking time out of their lives to solve magical problems big or small.

As the visions ceased Sunset smiled her trademark 'You can count on me' smile and properly shook the mayor's hand.

"You've got yourself some heroes ma'am; you can count on the Rainbooms to always serve justice!" Sunset proclaimed after shaking the woman's hand giving her a encouraging thumbs up.

"Thank you girls all so much; truly this means so much to me and the city, I know that this has come out of nowhere but I want you to know you have my full support and I will do everything in my power to help. These first six months will be critical; you'll need to work hard to build good public opinion and keep the populace happy so that the program can continue having funding." The mayor explained pushing up her glasses in a similar fashion to Twilight.

"So basically be awesome heroes and make everyone happy? Pft we do that without trying half the time!" Rainbow Dash said with full confidence.

"I admire your enthusiasm Ms.Dash but please remember you are on call only heroes; the only time you are allowed to use your powers to intervene in matters when you are not called is if lives are at risk and you are unable to prevent it by normal means. Wouldn't want the police, firemen and other 'heroes' to be out of a job now do we?" She said with a sly smile looking to Twilight Sparkle.

"Hehehe no no we wouldn't want that at all; my brother just got promoted to captain since Mr.Law retired last month after all. He's so excited about it! I can't wait to tell him I'm gonna be a certified scientist AND a super hero! Just like in our old comics!" Twilight squeed as she couldn't wait to begin constructing more things in her soon to be constructed laboratory. So many robots!

"Right I know but still it's gonna be like SO cool! And we get codenames too!" Rainbow exclaimed

"AFTER; you complete the training regiment." The mayor explained further.

"Ehehe right. I mean no biggie, I do pretty harsh training already so this shouldn't be too tough. And we have all Summer to do it too which is fine." Rainbow stated but then prepared to ask a question. "Who will be training us though?"

"You'll meet the trainer when you arrive at the golden oaks library, its construction and renovation should be complete by next week. That'll give you girls time to get your personal belongings gathered and you'll have likely graduated by then also so it'll give you a few days to relax before your training begins." The mayor said with a smile and then chuckled as she pushed up her glasses. "Let's just say she is a very militant but fun trainer once you get to know her."

"Well this oughta be fun" Applejack said with a chuckle placing her stetson back on her head. "I'll be dammed, I'mma cowgirl and a super hero now...hehe hear that ma? pa? Yer lil apple is a hero" Applejack said with a smile as a small tear rolled down her face remembering how her parents died in an act of heroism to save hers and her siblings lives when they were young at the cost of their own.

"I pity the poor baddie who dares to try and march into Canterlot now!" Pinkie exclaimed with a big happy smirk on her face.

"We promise to protect this town and look fabulous while doing it!" Rarity proclaimed

"We'll make sure everyone stays safe and sound" Fluttershy announced with a nod and a smile.

"I can't wait to start studying magic more and using it to better the city! This is gonna be great!" Twilight said clasping her hands together in excitement.

"Awww yeah! I can't wait to get my hero codename! This is gonna be awesome!" Rainbow announced pumping her fist into the air. "I'm gonna be the #1 hero!"

"We've got this for sure Ms.Mayor; I promise we will keep the magic in this town under control and ensure the harmony is kept too! We pinkie promise, right girls?" Sunset proclaimed turning to the rest of her friends who began to preform the sacred promise without a moments hesitation.

"Cross our hearts and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in our eye!" They all recited the chant of their most sacred promise and now made it a promise to protect the city.

"Excellent! After your training is complete by the end of the summer we will officially register you as the city's heroes. I'll prepare an entire celebration...oh well of course I am sure Ms.Pie will have the party covered but I'll handle all the official stuff." The mayor chuckled.

"But of course Ms.Mare; we'll do our best! C'mon girls we've gotta head back to school and finish up plans for project graduate and then we've got the sleepover at my place! Heheh can't believe I'll be moving out of there in a couple weeks but all things must come to an end so other things can begin anew." Sunset said in a sage like manner much like her former mentor Celestia.

"You girls go on ahead and handle your business, have a fun weekend and I will see you after your graduation! I will be sure to try and attend but you know how busy politics can be" The mayor replied chuckling sheepishly at the pile of paper work that sat behind her. Organizing this effort was going to be murder on her writing and signing hand.

"We pity yet admire you great Ms.Mare; see you later! C'mon girls" Sunset said as she lead the girls out of the mayors office closing the door behind them leaving the middle aged woman alone now.

"Alright, next order of business; renovations...lets see, golden oaks is at the top and about to be completed so next up is...oh dear." The mayor gave a mighty sigh and groan as she removed her glasses and rubbed her temple in annoyance. "Shit. This does need immediate attention; lately at least a handful of inmates have escaped but the funds are stretched so much because of the library renovations...hopefully we can recapture them and improve the structure quickly because from what I heard these escapees are more than a little unhinged." The mayor stated looking over another file; one that listed the escapees.

"How so many people could have fallen to malice is beyond me; but hopefully we can recapture them before they become too dangerous. I feel sorry for a few of these people like Melisa Mane and Wind Rider but the others like Chrysalis and Victor Storm? They NEED to be in jail; but at the very least 'He' didn't get out; I made sure they tossed that sicko in the deepest hole with nothing but his sick drawings to keep him company. May God have mercy on his poor soul." The mayor grimaced when thinking about the most recent prisoner to be added to the ranks of Canterlot Maximum Security prison, a disgraced and certified insane comic book artist who had crossed one to many lines and was a dangerous internet troll and hacker the likes of which probably shouldn't have been allowed to exist with how skilled he was.

Shaking off that grim thought the mayor went back to work on setting up the girls with their residence at the renovated Golden Oaks Library as well as their trainer. She was an injured mercenary who actually used to work for the now escaped Victor Storm as apart of his gun for hire group called 'Maelstrom' and he went by the codename 'The Storm King'; he was ready to slaughter millions but in a last ditch change of heart that cost the woman her right arm she managed to stop his plans and bring him in. She was given a trial and this was her 'punishment' and so Mayor Mare was to set everything up; she had met with the woman, she was damaged and had a big chip on her shoulder but that's where she felt these girls would also be of some aid as much as she would be able to aid them in becoming combat ready.

"Let's see if friendship really IS magic shall we?" The mayor said as she began to set up the meeting between the rainbooms and their new trainer/roommate/handler.

Meanwhile Across Town...

Canterlot City Maximum Security Prison: Tartarus Wing(Asylum Level)

"Alright you sick bastards! Time for grub, get to your doors and open the hatch and then step away to accept the food; any unsafe moves and you get the collar!" Shouted an orderly who marched through the hallways as the chefs brought the prisoners their food.

This guard and the chef were all accompanied by armed guards who aided in delivering the food. Each of the doors were numbered and had the initials of the prisoner marked on them. As the guards and chefs went down the line and slipped the prisoners their food, the main guard who stayed back at the end of the hallway called out individual names to make sure everyone was accounted for and had their food. There had recently been a few escapes and security was in the process of updating and tightening to prevent this.

"Prisoner 9087-S...Sombra?" The lead guard called out.

"Accounted for!"

"Prisoner 9088-S...Stygian?"

"Accounted for but won't accept food!"

"His loss. Prisoner 9089-M....Miasma?"

"Uh I think she slee-aaaah!" The guard and chef jumped back when they saw the black haired woman with purple skin lunge at the door wildly and laughing.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAH GOTCHA!" The woman shouted with physcotic glee.

"Fuck you! She's accounted for and still a bitch!" The guard replied.

"Mmmm I bet that's what you wish you could say to my face without that big fucking gun in your hand or this collar around my damn ne-aaaaaaaaaargh!" The woman tensed up and fell to the ground as she received a big shock to the system via the collar around her neck.

"Damn your annoying." the guard said slipping in the food.

"Alright last one; prisoner 9090-D...Discord?"

The one guard who was in charge of handling his door went down there when they heard no answer and then knocked on the door with the butt of their gun.

"Hey freakshow! You awake in there?" The guard called out

"Do be a good little solider boy and just leave the food on the tray will you? I'm in the middle of drawing here." Discord stated in a rather chipper tone of voice.

"And what is the oh so great and misunderstood Discord drawing up this time?" The guard rolled his eyes and looked into the mans cell.

"Hohoho I am SO glad you asked but first a question; hows the girlfriend? Things going well?" Discord asked

"That ain't none of your fuckin' business freak!" Snapped the guard

"My, my so sensitive! I only ask because well you know that Chrysalis escaped some time ago and I happen to remember you were quite...unruly with her...and well we both know you have a drinking problem as well as a violence problem when it comes to your relationship." Discord pressed on and the entire time he sounded gleeful.

"And well you know how the old saying goes...'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!' and how funny is it that the last time you went on one of your drunken prisoner beat downs that you happened to mention how you don't even get to beat your girlfriend like how you beat the crap out of us. tsk tsk tsk now I felt that to be just a bit unfair; why should we be the only ones to get the full brunt of your fury? So before she broke out I let Chrysie in on a little secret..." Discord whispered with a grin so devious the devil probably would have clapped.

"What did you do you freak?!" The guard snapped and very visibly began to panic.

"Oh I simply let your girlfriends name slip to dear ol Chrysie is all; what was it again? Melody Burn?" Discord asked nonchalantly.

"ARIA BLAZE YOU FUCKING TOAD! AND I SWEAR TO GOD IF THAT BITCH TOUCHES HER I AM GONNA-" The guard had hurled open Discord's cell and grabbed him by the white jacket he was kept in and yoked him up into the air with fury in his eyes but then Discord began to laugh.

"Hehehe you wanna know something else funny? Neither I nor Chrysalis knew her name...until just now that is" Discord grinned again showing that he had a homemade wire attacked to his chest behind the jacket and still in his other hand was the drawing he created. "Oh by the way? This is what I drew, it's me fooling you, killing all of you, breaking myself and my other imprisoned brothers and sisters out of here then? Well you'll have to wait for the next issue of this comic to come out...IN HELL!" Discord said with a wild and twisted look in his eyes as then with surprising strength he subdued the guard and used him as a human shield against the other guards who had trained their guns on him.

"Let him go you freak!" The lead guard shouted keeping his gun steady trained on the unstable man.

"Hm....okay...if you insist" He grinned viciously and pulled the pins on a few of the grenades on the mans belt, one was a tear gas grenade, one was a regular smoke grenade and the last was a flash-bang. Kicking the man forward and shielding his eyes the grenades exploded and the entire room was filled with the gas and smoke. Quickly grabbing one of their AR 15's he shot out the camera and promptly shot and killed the guards all except one, the head guard. Walking up to him totally unphased by the tear gas he grinned an insane smile and kicked the man over on his back and stomped a bare foot on his chest with the guns barrel pointed right in his face.

"W-Why...How t...this doesn't make any...s-sense...how could you do all this?!" The man coughed and gasped for air as he knew what his fate was about to be but simply wanted an answer to his question and the answer he got would haunt him in his final moments as the twisted and broken smile of Discord was the final site he saw.

"Wheres the fun in making sense? This town...this world...its too peaceful and so I plan on livening up this place by introucing something this world NEEDS...and do you know what that is? Pure...unadulterated...uncontrolled and absolute..."

He emptied the entire clip and smiled.

"CHAOS!" Discord was free and ready to act as an agent of chaos against its newest heroes. Things were about to get chaotic. Just the way he liked it!
