«I have made many mistakes, but I accept the debt I'm paying because of them. I believe that there is no such thing called failure, because I learned that it's just another opportunity to learn. To show how strong-willed you are, and how much can you struggle to finally achieve your goals.

Prison has changed me. I saw my talent. I saw my true potential. But what good are those two when you don't put them to good use?

I also found out more about my... enemies. I saw their ways to hurt me. I saw how they're willing to get rid of me, because I am a threat to them. I ignored their insults. I endured.

They thought they'll be fine with me behind bars. They thought they're free to do whatever they want, to say whatever they could say, while I presumably rot in this place. In my home.

Love blinded me. My love for the city. My love for her. I put up with them, because of my love.

But the devil took my throne.

My freedom.

And everything that mattered.

She took everything I worked so hard to achieve. All my accomplishments, my reputation, my work, was gone in one day.

But my eyes, they are open now. And she'll never see me coming.

I had enough time to consider my options, and I saw the error of my ways. I made my choice.»

«What is it that you're saying? »

«I want to make a deal ».

(Intro)

«Piggly Wiggly! »

Applejack sighed in frustration. This has been going on for quite some time, and it was not pleasant. She knew she had to ignore them, but it was still frustrating.

The day after the slumber party, people started harassing her with her childhood nickname. The cowgirl didn't know how they found out about it, but they did. The only people that knew about it were her family.

And Sunset.

She couldn't help but think about who this ''Anon-a-miss'' person was. Sure, the girls would shrug it off eventually, saying it's all gossip.

But she knew something was up. How can you be calm when the whole school suddenly know about your secret, and after you told it, too?

That was enough for her to start questioning some people.

And that hit a dead end.

Anon-a-miss's profile picture didn't give away a good clue about who she (or he ) was, but the colors were a tad bit familiar,
with red and yellow streaks of hair.

But AJ thought that's just a coincidence, or a simple misunderstanding. Sunset was their friend, after all.

But then Applebloom, her younger sister, suggested that the only people who knew about Piggly Wiggly were her family and Sunset. The other Rainbooms were informed after that.

Now Applejack, being the good friend she was, told her little sister that it was nonsense. Sunset Shimmer would never do that to her friends.

She changed.

But she was nowhere to be seen right now.

Sunset stood in silence as she watched the lavender skin bookworm walk around her lab-more like a workshop, in Sunset's opinion-in a crazy manner. She was doing another one of her crazy researches about possibly anything that didn't make any sense to her. All in the name of science.

And a few other benefits.

Sunset let out a small chuckle. She was hiding in the darkness, but she could still see her new friend, doing a research on

"Let me guess... magic'', Sunset thought.

After she told her about the existence of magic (which she tried her hardest not laugh, seeing her face was so shocked and puzzled), Sunset asked her for another favor, which she hesitantly accepted.

It was Twilight Sparkle, after all. Always there for a friend in need, no matter which dimension she was in.

Apparently, she didn't know not to trust strangers, which was good in Sunset's case.

However, the moment she walked out of the shadows, she was greeted by a short-lived scream.

Sunset swore it was high-pitched enough to make her deaf, if she was listening with her heightened senses.

Thank god she didn't.

Daredevil, on the other hand, didn't mind her reaction. She was used to it. It was actually very entertaining, except for the screaming part.

She smirked and said: «I thought you were used to seeing me like this ».

Twilight, after realizing that it was just her, sighed with relief. Then she replied angrily: «How can you ever get used to a cosplayer, dressed up in a devil costume, suddenly emerge from the shadows?! ».

__Hey, you designed it to be scary!

__Because you told me so!

__Fine. I'm sorry I did that. Though, it was a bit cute.

«Hey!», Twilight said, trying to hide her blush.

Daredevil started walking around the lab, examining all the equipment there. She noticed a strange device laying on Twilight's desk. She didn't know what did it do, but she couldn't ask Twilight about it. She didn't want a lecture that took forever.

Twilight was really a sucker for science. So was Sunset, but she was less enthused about it.

What she didn't know was the fact that she knew how she could make a Heavily-armed suit. Bulletproof, too. She always thought that Twilight Sparkle, Princess of friendship, was always a peaceful per-err, pony. Her counterpart should have held the same similarities.

She was right, to some extent. Even so, knowledge wouldn't hurt anyone now, would it?

"I'm thankful for the suit at least.", Daredevil thought, "It helped me a lot during my final battle with the Prince. Plus, it showed that my ridiculous idea for a costume wasn't that bad after all. This one is better than my last costume. Though, I still miss the old one".

Sunset stopped herself from drowning in her thoughts and turned to Twilight, trying to start a conversation:

__So, how have you been?

__Well, things have been... rough, to say the least. But I'm doing fine myself. Although, socializing is not a common thing for nerds in Crystal Prep, despite your humble opinion.

__Sheesh, and I thought our guys were assholes! Wait... I didn't kick their dad's ass or anything, did I?

__No, you didn't. They might be snobs, but they're not criminal material! Most of 'em, anyway.

__Heh, figures. Oh well, their loss.

Twilight smiled at her friend with appreciation. They only knew each other for two weeks, and not under the best circumstances. But they were warming up to each other. Still, she didn't know who the lady behind the mask was.

Twilight suddenly remembered about her gift. Without hesitation, she went and while she was looking for it, she exclaimed:
«I made something else for you. Hope you like it».

Daredevil, now turning her attention to her, asked: «What? I don't think I requested another suit or anything. You sure?».

«You didn't. It's a gift. And it's something I always wanted to see working», Twilight replied. A few moments later, she returned with a stick like figure.

Sunset was a bit surprised about the creation, so she asked:

«Umm, thanks. But may I ask you what is this?».

Twilight, smiled as she heard and went into what Sunset called the 'Lecture Mode'.

«This is a modified version of the weapons you used before. I'm no expert in weapons, but I think they were called ''Billy Clubs''. They were useful in combat, but they were pretty old-fashioned. This beauty here is my latest gadget. This will be your signature weapon. As a specially designed baton, it is a multi-purpose weapon and tool that contains 30 feet of aircraft-control cable connected to a case-hardened steel grappling hook. The weapon can also be adjusted to combine both sticks into an Eskrima sick. Most notably, it can be disguised as a blind man's cane. The weapon can be hold by a holster on the side of your suit, on the left leg.

«I don't wanna question your intelligence or profession, but why did you choose to turn it into a blind man's cane? I'm not blind, you know.», Daredevil interrupted, curious.

«Well, since I thought it would draw less attention if it was a blind person's crane, seeing how it can be tied together. It was just something that came to my mind.», Twilight responded.

Sunset was a bit hesitant. Sure, it was handy thing and all, but was it really necessary?

She would have said no before, but after fighting the Prince, she was sure she'd need an upgrade sooner or later.

She only came to one conclusion: Take it.

«Thanks. It is really cool-looking, by the way», Daredevil said in a thankful tone.

«You're welcome. I owed you one. You can consider this an early Christmas gift», Twilight responded.

"Huh. My very first Christmas gift.", Sunset thought, "It wasn't that common, but it was still something''.

After another hour of chit-chat, Sunset said she had to leave. She wanted to go to the second slumber party with the girls, and she didn't want to be late.

After saying their goodbyes, Sunset headed straight for Rarity's boutique. She knew it was going to be fun.

But she couldn't shake the feeling that something was going to go wrong.

"Well, paranoia is something you'll get when you go crime-fighting at night", Sunset told herself.

Suddenly, she heard someone screaming for help.

She tried to concentrate. It was how her senses worked. After a few moments, she could hear a man's voice:

«SHUT UP! No one's gonna hear ya. You're just gonna cause more trouble. Now, you keep quiet an' let me do what I want, or you're gonna be bleeding on the street. I can do it both ways».

«HELP! PLEASE, SOMEONE HELP ME!!!», the woman screamed, clearly terrified.

"And I thought they would respect the spirit of Christmas'', Sunset thought, ''They literally disgust me. Ponies wouldn't even think of rape. Here, it's just an ordinary thing''.

Sunset finally found the source of the voice. Rare Find Alley.

''Okay. Let's do this".

She landed on a rooftop when she reached the alley. She then saw the two individuals in question. One of them was a man, clearly in his mid thirties. He wore a black jacket, with a balaclava on his face.

And a kitchen knife in his hand.

The latter was a woman, presumably in her mid twenties. She wore a high neck jacket, with gloves and a red scarf. She was slowly backing away from the man. He shouted with his raspy voice:

«NO ONE IS HERE to save you're sorry ass. It's only me an' you, sweetheart. Now, you give me some o' that action, or...-

«The only kind of action you're getting is going to be a kick to the face, and some broken ribs. If you play rough, I might even grab you by the tip of your dick and make it rain... blood», a third voice joined the conversation.

«Who the fuck was that?! I'm armed, ya bitch!», the man exclaimed.

It was the last words he said, as he was met with a kick to his face. It send him flying, but not high enough before the devil caught him and he was shoved against the wall.

«I didn't think you scums had the balls to act with the devil around. Now, you wanna get knocked out, or have each and every one of your bones broken? The choice is yours to make», Daredevil told the man, who was breathing heavily against the wall.

«L-ll look m-man! I don't want any trouble. I-I_I Just wanted to have s-some fun! I-».

He fell silent as Daredevil started punching him in the face, time after time after time.

«STAY! THE FUCK! AWAY FROM HER! Do you understand me? », Daredevil yelled at the nearly unconscious man.

The only reply she got was the sound of grunts and groans he was making.

«Good.».

She then bashed his head into the bricked wall, as the man fell on the concrete, knocked out cold.

Daredevil then turned to the woman, who was hiding in the corner, crying. Daredevil asked her:

«Are you okay, ma'am? Did he hurt you or anything?».

The woman, while still crying after the experience, answered:

«I-I'm fine. Thank you, miss-s. *sob*I was s-so scared, I didn't know what t-to do-o!».

«No need to thank me. It is my job, after all».

She then went over to the man. After taking off his mask, he saw his bloodied and bruised face.

"Yeah, It's my job.", Daredevil told herself.

She then heard the sounds of a police siren. She informed the woman that she should tell the cops about what happened.
The woman nodded and watched as her savior disappeared in to the night.

"No wonder they call her the 'Lady Without Fear'", she thought.

The time Sunset entered Rarity's boutique, everyone else was already there. She felt a bit embarrassed, seeing she was the last person to enter. But hey, she wasn't that late.

The party was even better this time. They sang, they played games, etc. But the best thing they did was taking some outrageous selfies.

With some funky clothes! Oh, how silly they looked in them.

There was tons of different costumes to try out. Apparently, Rarity had this ''Closet of Shame'', which she had the silliest clothes she made (or the ones she thought were useless) stuffed in. She donated the clothes from time to time, so they were lucky to get their hands on them.

However, there was one in particular, which made Sunset's face pale.

It was a Daredevil costume, though it wasn't the actual costume. It was... redder than hers, made of... leather? Latex? Sunset wasn't sure. It also had a symbol on the left chest part. Two D's, crossed in each other; With one on top of the another. It was weird, but inspiring to Sunset. She decided to ask Rarity about it.

All she said was that it was just an inspiration that came to her min, nothing more.

Sunset was relieved to hear that.

After taking tons of selfies and doing some weird things with the clothes, they all agreed that they should call it a night. They were all seemingly tired, which was why they went sleep fast.

Sunset, on the other hand, was still awake. She was used to being awake in night, but even she was feeling tired. But first, she decided to write to Princess Twilight about her fun with the girls. She wrote:

«Dear Twilight.

My second slumber party with the girls, and already I feel so much better.

I haven't felt so loved, so accepted, in... well... ever!

I feel like I finally have a home again.

Without all of you to help and support me, I'd be-

"Insane? Dead? Locked in a cage for display in front of the town hall?", Sunset thought, but decided to let it go an continued writing:

Well, you know what I would be!

Anyway, I should get some sleep.

But I wanted to let you know, before I do...

... that I love you all.

Your friend
Sunset Shimmer»

Sunset finished writing. Then, she laid on the bad, closing her eyes as she thought about her life.

It was truly amazing.

She then drifted off to sleep, but not before saying her last sentence.

«Friendship is Magic».

«If there's one true thing that I learned about life...

... is that life is not a fairy tale.

And not everyone deserves a happy ending.».
