NO POV. TRAIN

We see a group of friends on the train as they head towards Manehattan, where they hope to find the mysterious being.

"Ok everypony, we need to come up with some sort of plan on how to find this pony. Any ideas?" Twilight asked

"What if we split up, ah reckon we can cover more ground." Applejack suggested

"That sounds like a good idea, and it shouldn't be too hard to find them, right?" Spike said as he read a comic book

"Spike's right, just look for something... Different, not too hard." Rarity said as she looked at her fingernails

"I still think we should rough them up a bit, just to make sure they won't be a threat." Rainbow Dash said, wanting to make sure that her friends won't have harm come to them

"Rainbow Dash, we AREN'T hurting them." Fluttershy said sternly, her caring Nature taking control as she wouldn't harm an innocent creature. Especially after they were told to help them. Rainbow Dash flinched a bit, Whenever Fluttershy stopped acting shy she could become quite scary.

"Let's throw them a we "won't hurt you and welcome to Equestria and let's be friends party!"" Pinkie Pie jumped as she took out her party cannon from... Somewhere.

"Ok! No no, let's just wait and see how they'll react first, ok Pinkie?" Twilight said as she stopped Pinkie from firing her cannon, Pinkie whined cutely but nodded. Sitting back down. After a couple of hours, they soon reached the train station in Manehattan. They all got off and started walking

"Now, let's look around and see if we can find the whereabouts of this thing." Twilight said

"Guys." Spike said, looking over at a newspaper stand

"Let's split up, Me, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie will check the main square." Applejack said

"Guys." Spike said, once again being ignored

"Got it, I'll fly up and see if I can't find them." Rainbow Dash said, flapping her wings

"Guys!" Spike shouted, tired of being ignored

"Spike, what is it?" Twilight asked, not liking that her number 1 assistant shouted. Spike pointed at the newspaper stand, the headlines showed a picture of the Red Hood holding a foal in his arms in front of a burning building

"Mysterious Stranger Saves Lives In Burning Building"

"Spike, why didn't you say anything before?" Twilight asked, Spike stuttered a bit and just groaned, face-palming himself. They all looked at the pictures, from the look of it it seemed to be a male in strange armor, a brown jacket, with a red Helmet

"Looks like it saved some ponies from a burning building. See, Dash? We don't need to worry about him being unfriendly." Applejack said, crossing her arms at Rainbow, Rainbow Dash sighed

"Fine fine, so he MAY be nice." Dash said, "But still, we gotta be ready for anything."

"Maybe we should check the hospital, One of the ponies from the fire might be there and they can give us a clue... I-if you think that's... A good idea..." Fluttershy said shyly, rubbing her arm

"Marvelous idea, darling!" Rarity said as she looked at the newspaper, She sighed dreamingly "A caped crusader, saving the innocent. Mysterious, strong, brave, heroic, my own mysterious hero." She said, having a fantasy of some love story.

"A Hero? Then we need to throw them a Heroes party!" Pinkie Pie said as she put on a party hat and pulled out her party cannon, again from somewhere.

"No no, let's meet him first. No parties. At least not yet, Pinkie." Twilight told her hyperactive friend. Pinkie whined again and put away her cannon in her hair, somehow

"Awww, fine. But I will throw a party!" Pinkie Pie said, a determined look on her face as she put away her party cannon, somehow able to fit it in her hair.

Soon they all headed towards the hospital that was closest to the burning building, taking a taxi. After a bit, they reached the hospital, walked inside, and went up to the front desk

"Uh, excuse me, but we were wondering if we could speak with any of the ponies that were in the fire?" Twilight asked, holding up the newspaper. The nurse looked up and noticed that it was the Elements of Harmony, She then quickly nodded

"Yes, some are still here. A young Miss Star is still here. I'll show you." The nurse said, getting up and leading them all towards the room. They took an elevator all the way up to the 4 floor, The nurse walked towards the room and opened it. Inside was the young filly sitting on her bed eating some pudding

"Star, you have some visitors." The nurse said

"Who?" Star asked, still eating her pudding. Star had a long light green mane, blue coat, and blue eyes.

Soon Spike and the elements stepped inside, Star gasped and her eyes lit up

"The Elements of Harmony?! W-Why are you all here?" She asked, her young mind trying to wrap around this

"We wanted to talk to you about what happened at the fire." Spike said, pointing at the newspaper. Star smiled as she saw this

"My hero! He saved me from the fire, he's awesome!" Star said happily

"Well, I mean, sure it was brave and all, but it could have been more awesome." Rainbow Dash said, puffing out her chest a bit. She didn't like it when other ponies were called awesome unless she said they were awesome, hurts her pride.

"He ran into a burning building, saved me, jumped out of a window to get me to safety, ran back inside the burning building to save even more people... I don't think it could get any more awesome." Star said "But why did you all come, it couldn't just be you want to know, right?" She asked, tilting her head

"Since we're the elements of Harmony we wanted to see if he is friendly, and wanted to speak with him." Applejack said, which kind of was true.

"Oh, uh, ok. Well, he's brave, strong, and when he spoke it was like everything was going to be ok." Star smiled, remembering her Hero

"Ah, such bravery." Rarity said as she sighed dreamingly, having another fantasy with the mysterious Hero. Spike's jaw dropped as he was a bit jealous over this, and he never really met the guy

"Anyway, do you know where he is or would go?" Rainbow Dash asked

"Uh... No, sorry." Star said sadly. Fluttershy gently put her hand on Star's shoulder

"It's ok, you helped us better understand who he is." Fluttershy said as she gave Star a kind and warm smile.

"Thank you, Star. We'll leave and let you rest up, darling." Rarity said as they all smiled and waved goodbye to her as they left the room.

"Back to square one." Twilight said, sighing softly

"Hey, cheer up. At least we know that he's a good guy, right? Why else would he save those ponies?" Spike said, trying to lighten up the mood

"Spike's right, I mean did you see how that little filly was smiling and acting when we brought him up?" Applejack smiled, giggling a bit at how the filly acted

"Yeah, so NOW he really does deserve a party!" Pinkie Pie bounced up and down in excitement. Twilight sighed and decided to just Pinkie to be Pinkie.

"So, what's the plan this time? Split up?" Rainbow Dash asked

"Seems to be the only option." Rarity said

"Then let's go. Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity will search the main square. Rainbow Dash, you check from the air. Me, Fluttershy, and Spike will check downtown. If we don't find anything or if we do, let's meet back up at the hotel we stayed last time we were here." Twilight said, They all nodded and soon headed out. Going with their groups and to their destination. Rainbow Dash flew up high into the sky and looked down, flying over the city as she looked for any sign of the mysterious Hero. Applejack and her group took a Subway train to head to the main square of the city. Twilight and her group took a cab downtown.

ONE HOUR LATER

Twilight and her group were now walking around downtown, still looking

"Hey, what's going on over there?" Spike asked as he pointed at a shop that had some guards with some yellow tape in front of the building

"L-lets check it." Fluttershy said, quickly walking over. They all looked to see some outline tape of... A pony. They gasped as, while they were not used to these things, they weren't completely naive. They knew that somepony died, and from the looks of it more than one

"What... What happened?" Twilight asked one of the guards

"We were told by the clerk and some civilians that a group of stallions were trying to rob this place, but somepony by the name of Red Hood showed up and... Well, this. No civilian was hurt, but we just can't let something like this slide." The guard explained

Twilight, Fluttershy, and Spike gasped again as they heard this

"R-Red Hood? You don't think....?" Spike asked, not having to finish as he assumed they would know what he was going to say. Fluttershy didn't say anything as she just shook in fear, not having to hear about something like this in all her life.

"W-well, we still need to find him." Twilight said though she was definitely a bit more scared now after hearing what happened. They all soon left and started walking, all now scared and confused as to what to do.

Meanwhile, in the sky, Rainbow Dash kept using her speed to get from one end of the city to the other as she looked down

"Come on, where is this guy?!" She shouted in annoyance, not having found anything on him. She looked up and saw some Pegasuses form some dark clouds together "Oh great, now it's going to rain." Dash rolled her eyes. She started flying towards the hotel, waiting outside for her friends. After 45 minutes of waiting Twilight and the others walked up to the front door of the hotel.

"Anything?" Rainbow Dash asked

"Not a lick of clues, sugar cube." Applejack said

"Well.... We might have found something..." Twilight said softly, rubbing her arm

"What is it, darling?" Rarity asked

"Let's head inside first." Spike said as they entered the hotel, paying for some rooms to stay for the moment. They all got in the elevator and then walked into one of the large hotel rooms

"So, what did y'all find?" Applejack asked

"Uh... W-well, that's um..." Spike couldn't find the words to say it, so Twilight spoke up

"We saw a donut shop that was recently in a robbery, and the one we are looking for was.... There. He... He killed the ponies that were... Robbing the place...." Twilight told them, making them all gasp in shock. Unable to wrap their minds around such news.

"So he's a killer! We need to put him in jail!" Rainbow Dash said, hitting a wall.

"I'm not saying I agree with HOW he did it, but he did save ponies' lives. He's probably a... Uh, what's it called again? Uh... Antihero? Yeah, an Antihero." Spike said

"Antihero?" Fluttershy asked

"Yeah, instead of the whole putting bad guys in jail and stuff, they... Well, you know. But they only go after really bad guys, like, REALLY bad guys." Spike explained

"He's a killer, plain and simple!" Rainbow shouted

"How about we talk to him?" Pinkie asked, looking out the window

"We don't even know where he is?" Twilight said

"He's up there." Pinkie pointed up, just as a loud thunder rang out, the light from the thunder showed a shadow of something. Soon they all rushed towards the window to look up, On top of a building stood the Red Hood looking down on the city

"He's mine!" Rainbow said as she opened the window and flew out, flying towards the Red Hood. The others soon ran out of the room and into the elevator to go down

JASON POV

I was standing on a roof looking over the city, sighing softly

"Can't something happen?" I asked out loud, Just then I felt something hit me across the face, hard AND fast. I grunted and flew back, but I quickly spun and landed on my feet "The Hell?!" I asked as I soon got hit again, this time landing on my back

"Ha! Take that!" The... Whatever the hell just hit me, but it sounded female

"A speedster, huh? Not the first time." I mumbled to myself as I smirked underneath my helmet, I got up again. This time just before she could hit me I moved my head to the side, feeling the punch just inches away from my face. I quickly grabbed her arm and neck and tossed her over my shoulder, slamming her into the ground. I held on tight to her arm and pressed my knee against her back, twisting her arm a bit to hold her down. I got a good look at this world's speedster, she had blue skin, or coat whatever, rainbow hair and a design on her pants of a could with a rainbow thunder

"Ah! Let go, you murderer!" She demanded

"Murderer? Oh, you mean the ROBBERS that were ROBBING a donut shop and had HOSTAGES, right?" I said, still adding pressure on my hold on her.

"Stop right there!" A voice shouted. I turned to see a group of girls and...

"Is that a fucking Dragon?.... That's actually pretty cool." I said, laughing softly as I didn't think I would see a dragon.

"Let our friend go, now! I ain't asking again." I heard an orange woman say

"Hey, this is an act of self-HOLY SHIT!" I yelled as suddenly the rainbow girl flew up high into the air, taking me with her.

"Let's see how you handle this!" She laughed as she started doing tricks, trying to throw me off

"I! Have! Been! Through! Worse! Than! This!" I shouted, holding on tight. I kept screaming as she kept flying, she was DEFINITELY a speedster. Sure I've seen faster, but she is definitely one. I then touched and held in her wings

"S-stop~!" She said, but...

"Wait, did... Did you just.... Moan?" I asked, having a what the fuck look on my face. I then smirked as I decided to use this to my advantage, no matter how weird it was. I touched both of her wings, making her moan more as she started to lose control. I pulled out my grappling hook but she quickly hit a wall, making me let go of my grappling hook and fall down. I noticed that she was knocked out and groaned

"Damnit, why did I have to come back to life with a fucking heart?" I grabbed her and held her close as I crashed into a wagon, my armor took up most of the damage, but it still hurt like Hell "... Fuck... That hurt... Like a lot." I said as I let go of the rainbow girl. I soon felt something on my hands, I looked up to see a bunch of spears pointed at me, and my hands cuffed together "..... Be careful what you wish for." I said as I just laid there, I could probably, definitely, get away but I wanted to see where this goes

"You are under arrest." One of the guards said as two others lifted me up, the spears still pointed at me

"Blah blah blah, whatever." I joked as one of the guards punched me in the gut, I was still in pain from the fall "Ah, fuck you." I said as I then head-butted the one who punched me

The guards moved their spears closer to me after I did that

"Take him away, the Princess will judge him." Another guard said

"Wait!" I heard someone shout out, I looked to see it was the group of girls and the little dragon from earlier

"What? Come to finish the job?" I asked, I saw a yellow one with pink hair walk up to me

".... You saved her." She said softly

"Saved who?" I asked. She pointed at the Rainbow chick, who was now slowly getting back up

"You could have let her drop, but you didn't." She said softly, giving me a smile

"..... Never. Speak. Of. It." I said "Go ahead and bring me to Princess sun butt." I laughed. I got punched across the face

"Don't you dare insult her Majesty." A guard said

"I'm sorry, did you hit me? I honestly couldn't tell." I laughed "Can someone get a guy who can... Measure up." I joked, the guard punching me again "Hahaha! I know old ladies that can hit harder than you!" I mocked him. The guard repeatedly started punching me over and over and over

"Stop!" The yellow girl said, but the guard didn't listen. Just as he was about to hit me again I moved my head to the side, letting him punch the guard behind me

"Damn, you guys are dumb." I said as I grabbed the guard and tossed him towards the others, knocking them down. I jumped over the yellow girl as I threw the handcuffs away. I took out my knife and got ready for a fight "Don't feel bad, you aren't the first group of law enforcement that failed to get me." I said

"Hold it right there." Another voice said, I glanced over to see the group of girls all getting ready to fight

"Today is getting more and more interesting." I said as I twirled the knife in my hand

"P-please, there is no need for fighting." The yellow girl said

"Sorry, whoever you are, but I don't think that's an option." I said as soon the guards charged at me. I used my knife to deflect and block their spears and used non-lethal takedowns on them. I jumped on one guard and slammed my foot into his head, then jumped off him and Roundhouse kicked another. I ducked under a swing from two spears, I then grabbed one of the guards by the arm and tossed him over my shoulder, hitting the other guard. I suddenly felt a rope wrapped around me

"Gotcha!" The orange cowgirl tightened the rope around me and tried to pull

"Oh no you don't!" I grabbed onto the rope and pulled hard, bringing the cowgirl towards me. I then delivered a hard clothesline to her, making her flip and hit the ground "Hey, you get points for trying." I joked

"Meanie!" I turned around to see a fucking cannon aimed at me

".... Ah shit." I said as I was then hit by the cannon, I thought it would be a cannon ball but it was "Wait... Is this fucking frosting?" I poked my head up from the frosting "Oooh, strawberry." I smiled underneath my helmet as I loved strawberry

"I love strawberry!" The pink woman said, apparently she was the one that shot the cannon

"Enough of this!" A loud voice shouted. I then felt my body be lifted up into the air and held up against the wall. I grunted as I tried my best to get free

I then saw two girls with a horn and wings. From the pictures in that book from the library, I knew who they were

"I take it you two are the rulers, huh?" I asked, looking up at them. I don't know how I didn't notice it before but the women here are.... Very well-built with amazing assets

"You are correct." Princess Celestia said I knew what they both looked like and who was who from the book

"That's great, I'd bow but I'm busy at the moment." I said

"What is going on here?" Luna asked the guards and the multi-colored girls

"We're stopping a murderer!" The rainbow-haired one said

"Hey, those fuckers were robbing the place AND had hostages!" I shouted back at her "So shut it, Skittles!"

"Don't call me Skittles!" The rainbow chick said

"Make me!" I said

"Oh, with pleasure!" She was about to fly at me until the purple girl stopped her

"Rainbow Dash, that's enough. The princess will handle this." The purple one said

I rolled my eyes at this as I looked at both of the Princesses "So... What do you two plan on doing?" I asked

"We will take you to Canterlot and question you. Then we will decide what to do with you." Celestia said

"Fine fine, let's get this over with." I said as they used their Magic to put me in a bubble and started flying to whatever they said
