It was just an average morning in Canterlot City, actually average is a bit of a rarity in the city of Canterlot. You see, everyday something new is always happening in the grand city, festivals, professinal sports games, celebrity visits, you name it and it would most likely be there!
But that isn't to say that everything is all rosy and safe in Canterlot all the time, as you may already know. Almost everyday, there's always a new crime taking place, and almost every so often, an even bigger threat unleashes their deadly wrath onto the otherwise nice and innocent city.
*RING RING RING RING!*
The sound of a bank security protocol going off, signalling to the police a robbery has taken place and well, it did. A robbery did take place but, it wasn't by any ordinary criminal. Well actually 'criminals' would be the correct term to use in this situation.
Inside the bank, three supercriminals were acting out a heist at a bank! Holding everyone hostage, threatening to kill a person who tries to be brave.
"Alright y'all! Just stay put and you'll be able to make it out of here in one piece!" Jackson Brice! The Texas native Codenamed Montana and under the new alias, 'Shocker!' He wears a red and gold super suit, allowing him to shoot shockwave and vibration blasts through the gauntlets on his wrist! The ring leader of the group.
"OX! You mind breakin' through the doors?" Coming from Los Angeles, Daniel Brito! Codenamed Fancy Dan and under the new alias 'Ricochet!' A master in mixed martial arts, he wears a specialized armor in red and grey, allowing him to bounce off of any solid surface.
"WITH PLEASURE!" and finally, Raymond Bloch! Codenamed Ox and under the new alias OX! The 'for life New yorker' as he likes to call himself is the brawns of the team. Given specialized armor with a similar colour scheme to Ricochet, he possesses enhanced strength, more than Rhino ever had, even being given reinforcements if he got tired!
These three supercriminals formed the deadly trio known as the enforcers! A criminal team working under none other than The Big Man, one of Canterlot's most powerful crime lord! All wearing duffle bags over their shoulders.
OX grimaced behind his mask, displaying mainly his health statistics like his endurance level. He raised his foot to the door and kicking the door off it's hinges with virtually no effort. "Alright! we're in! Let's get what we came for and scram!" said Ricochet.
Shocker, Ricochet and OX all made their way through the door, directly leading to the vault, with Shocker pointing his two gauntlets at everyone, making sure no one tries to be a wise ass and do something heroic. Of course he knew that they'd all probably run out the bank and contact more police officers, but there was no harm in making sure they're operation wasn't disturbed.
"Thank you all for yer cooperation!" He picked up the pace with his two partners and walked through the doorway.
The three all gazed at the vault door, a circular entrance with a dial. No doubt there was a combination to open the vault and get into the room where all the precious metals and cash were stored. Everything they needed was all stored in that vault room.
OX pounded his fist into his palm, "I'll take care of--"
"No!" Shocker raised his arm, signalling OX to stop, "I got this one!" Shocker raised two of his arms and pointed them at the vault door. The two gauntlets on his wrists began to glow a teal color with small sparks of electricity crackling. Shocker cracked his neck, leaning it one way and then to the other.
And then....
*BoOMMm!*
Shocker let out a violent blast of shockwave energy! The thought to be, strong steel vault door was blown into bits by a deadly shockwave blast!
Ricochet glanced at Shocker, "Uh Mo? Don't you think it's a bit of a jackass move to just blow up the door? You know with the gold and shit.." He trailed off and shrugged.
Shocker shrugged, "Eh what can I say? Back in that there high school I went to, they'd call me Jackass Brice!" Shocker was a bit of a cocky person but was proud of it, even going back to his middle and high school days. "But enough pish posh, let's get what we came for and get out of here!"
The three walked through what was left of the vault lock, making their way into the actual vault itself. It was filled with stacks of paper bills, gold bars, iron bars. It was a criminals dream and heist man's paradise. The room glowed because of how much gold was stored there.
"Ox, you take the metal while me and Dan over here will take the paper loot!" Shocker ordered, "No doubt Big Man might want a cut of the earnin's!" OX went one way to collect the gold bars while Shocker and Ricochet went to go get the cash.
***
Only a 15 minutes later did the three emerge from the Vault room, their duffle bags filled to the brim with cash and gold, collecting their sum of loot from the huge 'deposit' they would so on so make from the bank. "Alright, let's get back to Sherman's tower and report to Big Man!" said Ricochet.
The three emerged from the doorway in which they'd destroy only a few minutes ago. They were met with police officers and SWAT officers pointing guns at them, taking cover hiding behind anything they could find. The Capitan of the police force, Capitan Kurt Marshall, speaking from a megaphone.
##"OKAYY!"## His voice echoed through the room loudly, ##"IF YOU PUT THE STOLEN ITEMS DOWN AND COOPERATE WITH US YOUR PUNISHMENT WON'T BE AS SEVERE!##....
Ricochet rolled his eyes, he'd heard this one far too many times, "Bitch please! If I'd heard a nickel for every time I'd hear that one I'd be rolling in them!" That signalled the other two to back off as Ricochet decided he would take it from here.
Ricochet took a deep breath and leaped in the air, curling into a ball in midair. The Police officers were signalled to shoot but, they couldn't hit him, he was just too fast. Ricochet was gonna hit the ground level and the officers thought they'd have a chance, but they were wrong!
As soon as Ricochet hit the ground he immediately bounced into the wall and ricochet, hence his name. The officers were in disbelief, they'd never seen anything like Ricochet before, and they'd seen Sandman, Rhino and Electro unleash their wrath before.
Ricochet bounced off another wall and was barreling mid air, in the direction towards one of the officers. And then...
*WHAM!*
The curled up Ricochet collided into an officer's head, knocking him out! This was just the beginning of Ricochet's long chain of collisions towards officers. He hit one after another, after another, it was endless!
Eventually Ricochet hit every last cop that was in the bank, he and the rest of the group knew that there would be more on their way and they'd have to escape fast. "Okay, y'all!" Shocker opened the door, "Let's get movin' before they're so called reinforcements arrive!"
OX and Ricochet nodded, both of them bolting for the door with Shocker, completing another successful heist....
***
The Enforcers made their way back to Sherman's tower, the name of Big Man's business center, otherwise known as their base of operations. Though it acted like a business center at day, at night it usually was the place Big Man's men went for orders, including the Enforcers.
But it was just before opening hours of the center. For the people who worked their that meant they'd have to wait until the doors to the building actually open, but to the Enforcers that just meant Big Man was waiting for them in his office.
The three stood in Big Man's office, telling him about the operation.
Big Man tilted his head up, sitting in his chair and giving the three the quizzical look, "So, How'd it go?"
"It went flawlessly sir." Said Ricochet, "We got the cut you demanded and took out a lot of police officers." The three all handed their duffle bags to Big Man.
But Big Man was less than impressed, he wasn't very interested in what they'd actually get, he was interested about whether Spider-Man showed up or not, whether they'd squash him, "Let me guess, the bug didn't show?" he arched an eyebrow.
The three all looked to the floor. OX shook his head, "No sir! He didn't show."
Shocker let out a sigh, "We've tried everything Big Man! We've set a place on fire, cause a public disturbance, he just hasn't showed around."
Big Man's lip curled a little in disappointment, "Either the bastard is out of town or he's just waiting for the right time to strike!"
"Are... you sure?" Ricochet arched an eyebrow, "I mean he could be dead or somethin? I mean the odds aren't that much against him."
"Believe me, I trusted those two peanuts Sandman and Rhino but they couldn't get the job done, we have to be patient wait for him to act first not us, clearly the approach we've taken for the past week hasn't done us any good." The three were confused, the big question on their minds was how would they know when Spider-Man was gonna show around, but they were given orders about the different approach they'd take, "The three of you! Try something one more time, wait until Spider-Man shows around and rush him! There'd be no way he could survive against the three of you!"
They all looked at each other, guessing they didn't really have any other option they shrugged and nodded, agreeing to Big Man's order to find and kill Spider-Man!

Author's Note
And that was The first chapter to Issue #5.
So if the title might've seem a bit alluding if you read the majority of the chapter, wondering how a succsesful heist could've been alluding, but later on it's revealed it was just another on of the Enforcers failed attempt to lure Spider-Man into their hands.
So the Enforcers overall, I decided to go with the Spectacular Spider-Man versions of them, really liking how they were potrayed in it, of course tweaking some parts about them, (I.E Using the comic names for Fancy Dan and Ox.)
So this is the second story where I there is no villian origin in the first chapter, doing it intentinally in Issue #4's epilougue (with the exception of issue #3 becuase Serpent's origin is revealed.)
So... I can't believe that it's almost December! I started this Fimfiction account in July and I honestly never thought I would keep going on it daily. It's really crazy to realize 3 months have almost past.
Tell me what you think in the comments and hey maybe even leave a like, I don't know!
