"...you know how much you owe me?" Starlight demanded, she was on the phone talking to an old associate of hers. "Oh really?" She asked "I may not be in the big leagues anymore but that doesn't mean I can't hit you with a well aimed twister," She nodded as the voice responded "Alright, now that we're on the same page you can pay up, the old base has been looted like hell, just hook me up with your usual, Electricity and water," Starlight nodded as the voice responded "Yeah same place...yeah...yeah...OK see you in 20," She hung up and looked at Trixie and Rerun, who where having an odd argument.

"How is Teleportation dangerous?" Trixie demanded as she lay back on the thin mattress that was her bed.

"Leaves a very small imprint," Rerun replied simply "Do it to many time in a set amount of time and you'll end up with a magnetic field," Trixie looked at Rerun in confusion and he got ready to begin a lecture that would have been infinitely more confusing than helpful when Starlight jumped in.

"If you teleport to the same place to frequently you'll cause a space ripple, no creature would notice, but the place you've been teleporting will develop a magnetic field and in no time every compass, magnet, and all radio signals nearby will start converging on that location, won't take long for the Vault to track you down, and when that happens they alert every hero in the area." Trixie looked at Starlight in silence who smiled "So basically never teleport to the same location more than twice within the span of a week."

"Alright," Trixie said as she got up "I get it, I'll just walk down the block and get us some food, but oh wait," She looked around the room then pointed to herself, "We're all wanted criminals for good and bad reasons," Trixie looked at Starlight for a long moment before groaning, in a blink she was wearing a hoodie and her fur had been dyed brown. "I look so stupid," Trixie muttered angrily as she turned to leave only For Rerun to jump on her back "What the hell?" She demanded as he smiled at her.

"And I'll be the backpack!" He declared loudly as he wrapped his limbs around her shoulders, before Trixie could complain he turned into a Backpack, she stared at it in silence and looked over at Starlight in confusion, who shrugged back.

"He hasn't really had much to do in the past few months, just let him have this," Trixie groaned and continued on her way. Starlight watched them go before turning to the mostly empty warehouse and then the pitiful collection of furniture in the center of the room. She turned her attention back to her phone and dialed up an old friend.

"Yes It's me," She said in response to the surprised voice on the other end. "You still have all my emergency gear?" she listened to the response and smiled "Good, Same place as before, yeah, yeah Threes a good time,"

Trixie grumbled angrily to herself as she made her way down the street. The Bag unzipped itself and Rerun's head popped out.

"Something wrong?" he asked.

"Get back in there idiot, every super in the city will come running if you of all creatures are spotted,"

"Just trying ta be polite," Rerun retorted as he sunk back into the bag, as soon as the bag was closed a ringing sounded from her pocket, Trixie blinked and reached into it, finding a Dark brown flip phone, she looked to her back and found the bag was now gone, she groaned and flipped it open, Reruns 8-bit face looked back at her from the small scream.

"How's this?" He asked, Trixie rolled her eyes and put him up to her ear.

"Less crazy," She admitted as she crossed the street.

"So tell your new best friend what's wrong," Trixie looked at the phone for a moment, she wasn't sure if she liked the living Toon but he certainly wasn't how she'd expected him to be, she'd never seen him due to him never actively going to the west part of Maretropolis but she'd heard stories about how ruthless and monstrous he was, having met him she was confident that the stories were either exaggerated, or he was a dam good actor. In the offshoot that it was the later, she decided to be cautious in talking to him.

"I just got a bounty placed on my head because I forgot to make my mask indestructible and got it torn off, now the Government wants me, I can't go anywhere for any reason without a disguise, and just to top it off I bet my asshole ex-landlord is gonna feed them a shit ton of lies for a quick buck."

"Don't worry," Rerun said with a serious tone "I'll track him down and fill his house with Cherry Pie's," Trixie let that soak in for a moment.

"I sincerely doubt that would help, but if you actually do that I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't find it funny," Trixie crossed the street, unaware of a group of three ponies on top of a nearby building.

"Any sign of her?" A male voice asked.

"Dimly," a robotic female voice replied "Whatever she uses to make her illusions it has a very dim magical field,"

"So She's close by at the very least," A 2nd Male Voice questions, his voice having a dim robotic effect to it.

"Not just close," The Robot mare replied as she looked at her arm, "I've put sensors across the block since witness reports indicate this is one of her old hangouts, I'm getting dim feedback from three of them, one faint, one strong, one going wild, So if I work some of my own brand of magic we can deduce she is-" The Robot mare did some calculations before the scream on her arm went dark and she pointed down the block to a Corner store. "-At this moment in the store, and judging by the magical feedback She might not be alone," After a moment the Male with the none robotic voice jumped off the building with ease and made his way towards the corner store, Inside Trixie was grabbing a few odd's and ends.

"Why don't you just make food appear?" Spike questioned.

"Because when I do it's taste Horrible," Trixie replied "I can survive off it, but I don't really wanna," Trixie was tossing a box of crackers into her basket when he walked in, the store went quiet as the few customers and the two staff members looked at him. The Colt wasn't big or threatening, but his Armor caught their eyes, The Colt wore Robotic armor all around his body and had a Metal helmet over his head, Trixie was silent as she looked at him.

"Is that Iron Mane?" She Heard Spike ask threw the phone.

"In full battle armor," Trixie confirmed as she waved her hand over her cart, it's contents disappearing and a fair amount of cash appearing in the register unnoticed. "Shopping trip's done and I just used my last teleport on our food, let's hope we can get out of here,"

"Why didn't you teleport us with it?"

"Because I panicked you dick, shut up and turn into a bag," Trixie dropped the phone and it turned into a bag as Iron Mane went to the counter.

"H-Hi," The colt behind the counter said in awe.

"Don't panic," Iron Mane said calmly "But there's currently a Villian who uses Halicinagenic gas in your establishment, I'm gonna do a sweep for them, but when I find them they will certainly-" Iron Mane turned to the door in a flash and held up his hand. "-Ma'am," He said calmly as Trixie froze at the door. "Please turn around and move to the back of the store, I'm about to do a scan for-" Trixie turned to the hero swiftly and tossed several smoke bombs at him before dashing out the door. "-Yeah I figure as much," Iron Mane said simply as he headed out the door," Trixie made it about 20 feet away from the store before the remaining two heroes landed in front of her and she slid to a stop.

"Hello," Sweetie Bot said as she and Mega Mac Looked at her, Sweetie bot was fully robotic, while Mega Mac seemed to still have most of his head intact, save for his right eye. "You must be Trixie, Please to meet you,"

"Heard about the work you did taking down a few super villains," Mega Mac said as he eyed her. "I was hoping the paper's where bullshitting about you, but after you beat the shit out of the peace squad sent to your home-"

"Those guys broke down my door, threw a canister of some random shit at me, then tried to beat my face in," Trixie snapped back, "They fuck was I suppose to do, let them kick my shit in?"

"What you're supposed to do is register your crazy mind stuff with the Government, your parents are already being taken into custody as we speak just in case your mind-stuff is a power and not a chemical,"

"I can confirm," Sweetie Bot said as Trixie's fur turned back to her normal color and her clothes turned into her super suit save for the bag. "That whatever she is using to do what she does, it is a power, not a chemical,"

"Then your parents will be placed into the Vault maximum security prison and you will be instituted into the Vault itself untile you are deemed stable enough to be a hero,"

"But I wasn't born with these powers!" Trixie snapped back instantly "You can't-"

"There is no way to prove that," Mega Mac replied simply "if you are telling the truth then I Apologise for all of this, I really do, but if I bend the rules for you I have to bend them for everyone, and the rules are what keep the world in order So I will ask this only once, Surrender or be detained by force," Trixie took a step back when A Net wrapped around her, Instantly the net was gone and she turned to Iron Mane.

"I'll be the first to admit," Iron Mane said as his screen's flashed inside his suit "That was impressive, my suit isn't even registering the net anymore,"

"Please understand," Sweetie said as she moved forward "If you don't come quietly the vault will label you as a Villian and your stay there will be incredibly longer than if you just surrender,"

"That's a Lie," Rerun shouted back from the bag, There was a moment of Silence as Mega Mac, being the only one at the moment who faces could properly emote, Looked at Trixie in shock.

"Why are you still wearing that bag?" he demanded as she gave her a once over "You changed the rest of you, so either you didn't notice-" The gig up Rerun turned back into himself and rode Piggyback on Trixie.

"-or it wasn't a bag," Mega Mac finished as he looked at Rerun in silence before looking back at Trixie "Guess the papers got it right, Detain them both fast," Iron Mane shot a Lazer from his hand, and Rerun swung into action, Batting it away like a Ball with a Bat he pulled from nowhere, Mega Mac's hands turned into Large blaster Cannons and Two Sholder guns appeared on Sweetie as she looked past Trixie and at Spike in silence. Trixie took her chance and rushed Mega Mac, Who fired his gun only for her to turn into bubbles and land on his head, he swung at her and she turned into bubbled again and formed behind him, high tailing it down the street.

"Well that's gonna be Annoying," He said angrily as he rushed after her. Sweetie was standing still as she stared at Spike, for a brief moment she flashed back, pain erupting from her broken Body and Rerun held the Crowbar up to finish her, but after a single pleading word, his smile faded and he had walked away. Sweetie stared him down had before calling out loudly.

"Spike," Rerun froze and Iron Mane took his chance and blasted the toon in the face, sending him flying past Sweetie and into Mega Mac, who fell over upon being hit, Rerun turned into a ball and rolled off the Hero and speeded after Trixie. Rerun turned back into himself and pulled a remote with one large button on it and began pressing it rapidly.

"The hell you-" Trixie turned into Bubble and Rerun lost half his body as one of Mega Mac's blasts hit him, he went flying and landed on his face, his missing parts repairing themselves and he turned to his foe, Who slowed down and held his hands up.

"Hey Spike," He said calmly, earing an eye twitch from Rerun "Remember me? Your old buddy, We use to Hang out every other weekend," Rerun frowned and took several steps back.

"What-I don't-I'm not-?" Rerun replied in confusion as Sweetie slid to a stop next to Mac.

"Come on Buddy," She said in a soothing voice "I know you didn't mean to hurt me, to hurt anyone, your sick, come with us so we can help you," She held out her Hand and Rerun looked at it. As this was happening Trixie was dodging around Iron Mane's attack.

"You know Illusionist, your pretty good at dodging," Iron Mane held his arms up and several parts of his armor came out to reveal small missiles. "Let's kick it up a notch," Iron Mane Fired, and Rerun took a step back when the sky went dark and a Storm came to life above them.

"Three versus Two seems unfair," Starlight said as she floated above them in a small air cyclone, Electricity sparking around her body as she stared down at the Heros "Let's even the odd's a little shall we?"
