-Down Town-
“Well, this was expected, but I didn’t think it would turn out this way,” Sunset said to herself as she was walking through town. Hundreds of people, mostly men, were checking out Sunset and the way her breasts and hips were stretching out her new clothes, yet still barely able to maintain their shape. For the women, they were checking her out with jealousy, gritting their teeth and wanting to have her already-flawless body.
Despite the attention, she still kept to herself and kept going about her merry way. Just then, this strange sensation in her head told her to watch out from behind. She leaped away in time and turned around to see this random man trying to slap her ass.
"Whoa! You've got some serious reflexes, girl. I like a girl with spunk," he said all flirty. Sunset cringed internally from this guy and how rude he was.
"Thanks, but you're not really my type. Besides, I already have a boyfriend," Sunset said before she turned away and kept going, but the guy persisted.
"What? Come on, what does your "boyfriend" have that a guy like me doesn't? For all I know, he might just be neglecting you for some other woman," he said. "But if you join me, I'll show you what a real man can be."
‘Someone clearly can’t take a hint,’ she thought to herself. "For one thing, he's modest and hates bragging. 2nd, he's more of a man and can whip your butt and so could I, so unless you want me to take out the trash, you'll buzz off and leave me the hell alone," she warned.
"Oh-ho, can you now? Well, listen, how about we get rough back at my pla--" just as he placed a hand on her shoulder, Sunset grabbed him by the wrist and tossed him over her shoulder and slammed him in the ground hard. But during the throw, she heard something pop out of place. The guy yelled in agony, gripping his forearm. "WHAT THE FUCK, LADY?! YOU NEARLY TOOK MY ARM CLEAN OFF!!!
"Don't… fucking… touch me, you creep!" Sunset said in a deep, threatening tone. He tapped the sidewalk to let her know he gave up. She loosened up and let him go. He got up and ran as far away from her as possible. Sunset picked herself up and dusted off her clothes before continuing along the path to get lunch, but felt shocked. "I don't know my own strength. Better not try that again on petty things. Makes me wonder how Eternal is doing.”
-Carousel boutique-
Eternal set Rarity down on one of the chairs and followed the scent of blood. "Please don't let me waltz into a murder scene! Hondo, Cookie, Sweetie, please be okay," he muttered to himself, trying not to panic. He stops and hides to the side of the doorway leading into the kitchen where the smell of blood is strong. 'Wait a second… what if… oh, please let me be wrong about this,' he thought to himself before listening to the sound of Sweetie's voice… muffled, as if something was covering her mouth.
"Shut up, you little brat! Unless you want a bullet stuck in your brains, you'll quiet and shut the hell up." a male voice said quietly.
"This is boring, why are we even robbing this joint anyways?" a 2nd male voice asked. “There’s nothing here but damned fabric.”
"Are you stupid or what? The owner of this place orders real jewels to use for accessories to some of the clothes she makes. Imagine walking out of the place with that kind of cash! Now just remember the plan. We force the bitch to load the bags, she gives us the goods and she gets her family back… and send them on a one-way trip to the next life," the 3rd guy stated.
Just then, Sweetie let out a muffled cry of fear. He sneaks a peek to see that Sweetie Belle and her parents were tied up with rope and had their lips covered with duct tape. Hondo was all bruised up and bloodied up from taking a beating. Eternal then saw one of the guys whack Sweetie upside the head and knocked her out. "Stupid brat! I told you to shut the fuck up!"
Cookie could only watch through tearful eyes at the state her family was in and all for what Rarity does for a living.
"Hey, while we're at it, why don't we triple team this bitch? She's kinda fine-looking with all that extra skin on her." Guy #1 suggested, dropping his gun while smirking.
"Hmm… why didn't I think of that? It's been a while since I had some fun with a lady," Guy #2 agreed, smirking at Cookie.
"Just so you guys know, I get her down there. You guys can take her ass or her throat. But remember, we also ditch the bodies, leave no evidence behind, got it?" Guy #3 said. The other two nodded before putting their guns down. They all then surround Cookie, which Eternal took this chance to make his move.
With one deep breath, he zoomed into the room and kicked one of the guys away from Cookie, then grabbed the other two by the shirt collars and threw them against the wall. "Touch one hair on my friend's mother and you'll regret the day you fuckers were born!" Eternal yelled.
"Big mistake, pal!" Guy #1 said, reaching to grab his gun. He took aim, but Eternal acted quickly and dodged him before grabbing him by the arms and slamming his fist on it, making him yell in agony. He socked him in the face, knocking him out, then attacked the other two, drop kicking the 2nd guy in the guy, elbowing him on the head, knocking him out. Finally, the last guy was beaten to a pulp and piled on top of the other two.
"That… was for ganging up on Hondo," Eternal growled. Looking back at Sweetie and her parents, he went over and cut them loose from their ropes and took off the tapes from their mouths, checking their conditions. "Are you guys gonna be okay?" he asked, concerned.
“Yes we're fine,” Cookie said with a sigh. “I’m just glad you got here in time. Is Rarity with you?”
“Yeah, I brought her over and she’s downstairs,” Eternal added. “What happened when she left earlier?”
"We were just doing our daily routine. Cookie and I were watching the shop while Sweetie Belle was relaxing in her room. Then, just as we were about to go on our lunch break, these guys just barged in here and attacked us," Hondo said. "Well… mostly me, because I tried to stop them, but that didn't go too well. They tied us up and demanded us to know where the jewels were. However, none of us told them because Rarity keeps all her jewels locked up and secure. Even we don't know where she keeps them hidden! And then that's when you showed up and… saved us all."
“I was just taking Rarity home and I didn’t think I’d walk into a break in,” Eternal added. “Who were these guys anyway?”
“We’re not sure,” Cookie added. “We’re just glad you got here in time before they…” she trailed off as she didn’t want to think about any of what was about to happen in front of her own husband and daughter.
“Um Eternal,” Sweetie Belle asked as she tugged on his leg. “You look...different.”
"Uh… it's a long story, Sweetie, I'd rather not talk about it. But I'm glad to know you're safe and sound and still breathing," Eternal said. "Listen, what matters is that you’re all okay. Now, I need you guys to pull yourselves together and call the cops. I'll make sure these guys don't try anything funny."
"Thank you, deary," Cookie said before getting her phone out of her purse. She dialed 911 and asked for the police and paramedics. Meanwhile as they had their back turned, one of the guys who were beat up by Eternal, was slowly regaining consciousness. He looked up to see Eternal and saw that he had his back turned, and one of the guns on the floor. He was filled with rage and now wanted nothing more than to kill this ‘wannabe hero’ in front of him.
Just as he was cocking the gun, Eternal's senses kicked in. He turns around, seeing the guy about to pull the trigger. Out of instinct, he backflips towards the guy and stomps him flat, making him drop his gun and grunt in pain. Everyone overheard what happened and turned around to see that Eternal was now on the man’s back and the gun was on the floor before it fired.
“We didn’t even see him pick up the gun,” Cookie said in shock. “How’d you know?”
“Not sure, it's like I had this… weird feeling that I was in danger and my body just… completely acted on its own,” Eternal said to himself as he wasn’t sure what happened. He knew self defense, but he never thought that he would be this strong. Meanwhile the sounds of footsteps walking upwards got everyone’s attention. The door then opened to reveal that it was Rarity.
“Can anyone explain to me what that awful smell is?” She said aloud, but she then looked up to see the three knocked out males and the state her family was on. “What in heaven’s name happened here?”
“Some punks I beat up held your family hostage when they tried to break in and steal the jewels you gathered,” Eternal mentioned. “Even went as far as to smack Sweetie Belle when she was screaming for help.”
“HOW DARE THEY!!” Rarity exclaimed, full of rage.
"But, I taught them a lesson and subdued them. Your mother just phoned in the police and the paramedics for your father and Sweetie Belle. He took a serious beating trying to stop them and Sweetie took a nasty blow to the head," Eternal said.
“I’m just glad everyone is alright,” Eternal followed up. “We should wait until the cops and Paramedics arrive.”
“Good,” Rarity followed up as she picked up her sister and her mother helped walk her father downstairs.
-Meanwhile-
“Guess he wouldn’t mind if I stopped for something here,” Sunset said as she arrived at The Burger Joint and entered the building. The moment she entered, everyone stopped to look at her. She was glad that it was a slow day and saw that there weren’t many people there.
“I just need to get some food and get out,” she said as she walked forward. She had to ignore the stares her way as her curves bounced lightly. She went over to the cashier, who was a female and even she was jealous of Sunset's smoking hot body. But she tossed her jealousy aside to do her job.
"Welcome to the Burger Joint, miss. How can I help you today?" she asked.
"Let's see… umm," Sunset replied, trying to think… only to feel her stomach rumble extremely loudly, like she hasn't eaten in weeks. "Uh… I'll have two large triple decker combos and two large supreme spicy burger combos. All with garlic fries. 2 Orange sodas and 2 Coca-colas," Sunset said.
"O-Of course… And would you like that for here or to go?" the lady asked.
"To go, please," Sunset replied.
"Right. So, two triple decker combos, two supreme spicy combos, garlic fries, two orange sodas and two Coca-colas, that comes down to… $38.85." the lady said. "Will you be paying with cash or card."
"I'll be using my card," Sunset replied before reaching into her purse. She takes out her debit card and hands it to the cashier. She inserts the card into the chip reader and transfers the money into the register.
"Okay, you're good to go. Your order number is 69," the lady said, handing Sunset back her debit card. She takes it and puts it back inside her purse. Sunset then headed off to one of the tables and sat herself down by the window.
While she's waiting, the sounds of blaring sirens get her attention as everyone else's. She turns around and sees a group of police cars and an ambulance speeding by. "Hmm? I wonder what's tipped them off this time," Sunset said to herself.
In 10 minutes, Sunset heard her order number and walked over to the counter. She grabs her bag of food, thanks the cashier and leaves the building. She soon headed on her way to the boutique since she wanted to check on Rarity, but paused in shock with what was in front of her. The same police and sirens that she saw earlier, were in front of Rarity’s boutique. And Rarity's father and little sister were being taken in by paramedics with three other men being taken by cops. One of them were taking in by paramedics as well. Sunset rushed over to see what was going on, and saw her boyfriend and Rarity were here.
“Eternal! Rarity!” Sunset shouted, getting their attention.
“Oh Sunset, Darling!” Rarity said in shock.
"Sunset! Hey there," Eternal said.
"Eternal, what happened? Is Rarity okay?" Sunset asked.
"She's safe and so is her sister and parents. There was a break-in during their lunch break. Hondo took a nasty beating and Sweetie Belle got knocked upside the head. They're gonna stay overnight at the hospital to recover. I took out the bastards who did this and got them carted off to jail," he explained.
“What about that one?” Sunset said as she pointed to the one that looked like his back was broken.
"Oh, him… uh… I might've busted up his back when he tried to shoot me," Eternal said, scratching the back of his head. "Just ask my foot." Eternal said, shaking his left leg.
“Any reason why they wanted to attack you Rarity?” Sunset asked, turning over to her.
“They were after the jewelry I collected to create my dresses,” Rarity said. "And Eternal told me that the robbers were going to kill me and my family after they ran away with the jewels!"
“Guess we can add attempted murder to their list of charges,” a voice said from behind everyone. Sunset, Rarity, and Eternal all turned around to see who said that and found Shining Armor behind them in his police uniform. “Are you all okay?”
"Hey, Shining. Yeah, we're alright." Sunset said.
“I overheard everyone talking, I’m just glad you’re okay,” Shining added. He does look at Eternal and Sunset in confusion. “Why do you both look so different?”
“It's a long story, kinda difficult to explain," Eternal said.
"Yeah, we're not sure how we ended up looking like this. I guess we just… ate all of our food groups and exercised," Sunset said nervously.
"Y-Yeah, just like Popeye… we ate all our spinach," Eternal chuckled nervously.
“Ooooookay then,” Shining said in confusion. “Anyways, Rarity if you and your friends could come with me to the station, maybe we can talk about what you learned.”
“Oh, actually I just got here when I saw the cop cars,” Sunset explained “I was grabbing some lunch for me and my boyfriend.”
“Okay tell you what,” Shining said with a smile. “You guys can finish your lunch and meet me at the precinct.”
"Sure thing. Thanks again for all yourself… both of you," Rarity said to Shining and Eternal.
“Don’t mention it,” Eternal followed up.
“Okay madam, let’s be on our way,” he said, guiding miss Rarity to his police car.
“Maybe we should get out of here and let the police do their job,” Sunset followed up.
"I agree… and I'm starving. Let's eat," Eternal nodded. Sunset and Eternal walked away and found a secluded place for them to eat. Finding themselves near the park with a tree over the bench proving shade, it was the perfect spot. The two of them sit themselves down on a bench. Sunset gives Eternal his lunch while she gets out hers. But then… "Uh… Sunset, why did you order two supreme spicy burgers? Are they for both of us?"
"No, actually… I ordered them both for me, same reason why I bought 2 large triple decker burgers for you. Both of our orders are combo meals." Sunset explained. "Besides, I think that spider bite enhanced my appetite. I'm so hungry I could eat a whole antelope."
"Hmmm… makes sense. I could eat a whole zebra if I wanted," Eternal said. "Thanks for buying us meals, babe." he said, making her smile. The two of them began enjoying their meals. Sunset was nearly devouring her burgers faster than a garbage disposal. "Whoa, slow down there, Sunset. It's not like anyone's gonna steal your food."
"Sorry, but it just tastes so good," Sunset replied while still munching. “It feels like I haven’t eaten in weeks.”
"Heh, don't come running to me if you burn your stomach with those spicy burgers," Eternal chuckled before going to take a bite of his burger, only to bite his finger. "OW! What the?" he said, looking at his hand, which only had a small piece of a burger bun. "What the hell? I was so busy lecturing I didn't realize I already ate all of my burger."
"And you tell me to slow down?" Sunset asked with a chuckle. "You're cute, you know that?"
"Me? Cute? Hah! This coming from the girl who's brimming with cuteness," Eternal said, stroking his girlfriend's soft, cute cheeks, which are puffed up from the food she's eating. She giggled and winked at him in response. "So, how was your day?"
“Well the walk through town was interesting as people wouldn’t stop staring at me and my new figure,” Sunset gestured, looking down at her cleavage. “Had to throw a creep that tried to slap my ass as well. Didn’t really know my own strength as he yelled that I almost took off his arm.”
"Damn, at least those combat lessons paid off… perhaps a little too well. I also got stares from the people while I was carrying Rarity home," Eternal replied.
“Hey, at least they worked,” Sunset added. “I didn’t even see him, I just felt someone was trying to make a move on me.”
“Huh, the same thing happened to me,” Eternal added. “I ended up reacting to a guy who tried to shoot me, and I backflipped and stomped on him, paralyzing him."
“Guess that explained why he was on a stretcher.” Sunset added with a sigh. “So who do you think those guys you fought worked for?”
"I'm not exactly sure. But judging from the heat they were packing, they were probably working for someone else. If they were petty, lesser criminals, they'd only have either pistols or knives. Maybe even crowbars." Eternal said.
“Makes sense,” Sunset said with a sigh. “Someone must have quite a lot of money on their hands if they're willing to go this far to attack one of my friends families like that.”
"It sounds to me like their boss is a sort of Kingpin. And if my hunch is right, his reach must be unlimited or something. It'll probably take the police years to find out who it those crooks' employer was," Eternal said.
“That would be nice if some of the cops weren’t so corrupt,” Sunset said with annoyance.
“What makes you say that?”
“I’ve seen some dirty cops back where I lived,” Sunset said in annoyance. “Pay them the right amount, they can either make people go away, destroy evidence, or even intimidate and harass people. I feel the only few decent cops are Dark Renegade and Shining Armor.”
Eternal's eyes widened in realization. "That's it! Maybe some of the cops are secretly working for this… Kingpin. If that's correct, then they'll probably delete any evidence linking to their so-called boss!" he said. "Sunset, this might sound crazy, but if push comes to shove… we'll have to take matters into our own hands and find him ourselves."
“Are you sure?” Sunset asked. “We don’t really know the full extent of what we can actually do.”
"Then after we give our statements, we'll go to the old abandoned warehouse to test out the full extent of our newest transformation, like we talked about earlier," Eternal said.
“Sure, after we’re done eating at least,” Sunset added. “So what precinct does Shining work at again?”
"I think it was Canterlot Central," Eternal replied before biting into his food.
“Okay, we’ll either have to take the subway or bus to get there,” Sunset added, taking another large bite of her burger. As she bit into it, hse felt something drip onto her chest. Looking down, she saw some ketchup form the burger she just bit into dripped onto her rather supple cleavage. “Oh great, as if I won't be getting enough attention as it is."
"Here, allow me," Eternal replied. He reached into his bag and pulled out a napkin before rubbing it against her ketchup-stained breast, only to receive a surprised moan from her. "Oh, sorry, are you okay?"
“Sorry, that just...felt weird…” she said, a light blush appearing on her face.
"Right, sorry. I guess having a bigger rack makes you twice as sensitive," he admitted, rubbing the back of his head. Afterwards, both individuals finished their meals and threw away the wrappers into the trash. Sunset let out a big burp before clearing her throat.
"Excuse me," she chuckled nervously.
"No worries, it's cute how you burp like that," Eternal chuckled.
“You jerk,” she said, her cheeks turning pink. “Anyways, should we take the bus or train to get to the precinct in Canterlot Central?”
"Sure, I've got some change in my pocket." Eternal said. He then handed Sunset some money just in case. "Here, now we both got bus fare."
"Thanks. Let's get going," she said. Eternal nodded and soon, the two headed off to the nearby bus station, heading on their way to the precinct.
“I think we should have just taken the car,” Sunset said with a sigh. The fact that Sunset even agreed to take a bus was silly since most people wouldn’t stop staring at her and her boyfriend Eternal. They were waiting at the bus station for the ferry to get there, but having several pairs of eyes on your back is annoying to no end.
"Perhaps you're right. I can handle a few stares, but not from a crowd this close.
“So we take the bus back home to get a car then?” Sunset said in annoyance.
"Yup. The sooner the better. You wanna drive or me?" he asked.
“I think I’ll drive if that’s alright with you,”
"Sure. The sooner we get home, you can get behind the wheel," Eternal replied. Sunset nodded and stood close to him. In a few minutes, the bus arrived and all the passengers boarded. But just as the doors were about to close, another group of people rushed to the bus in the knick of time before taking their seats.
"Next time get here a little early," the bus driver said before heading off.
“Guess they got lucky huh?” Sunset said as she and Eternal went to the back of the bus and sat themselves down.
"Apparently." Eternal replied. During the trip, everyone remained silent, even while some of the people kept looking at the hottest couple. The stares they were getting from nearly everyone was getting rather annoying as it was making them both uncomfortable in the process.
"Hey! Knock it off already! Try taking a picture, it'll last longer!" Sunset yelled. As if to add insult to injury, that was what happened as some folks started to take out their phones and taking pictures of the two, much to Sunset’s dismay.
“Me and my big fat mouth,” she groaned slumping into the seat while pinching the bridge of her nose.
"That was a figure of speech you jerks! So back the hell off right now or I'll show you what 230 pounds of pure muscle is capable of!" he warned before bashing his fist into the palm of his hand hard. By that point, everyone finally got the message and left them alone.
"Thanks, but it's only a matter of time before the pictures show up online," Sunset groaned, hiding her face in his chest. Eternal hugged her and held her for the remainder of the trip. Moments later, the couple arrived at their destination. They weren't directly at their house, but they were close by. So, hopping off the bus, they headed down the street to their home. However… Sunset and Eternal felt that similar
“Do you feel that?” Sunset asked in confusion. “It's just like last time.”
"Definitely. Be on your guard," Eternal whispered back. As they walked to their house, a small group of guys was following them, making sure not to get too close.
“Is that the guy?” Thug 1 said.
“Yeah that’s him,” Thug 2 said. “Hair and eyes match the description we got.”
“One of our guys managed to get an ID on him,” Thug 3 added. “Can’t believe he busted up our operation all by himself.”
“Yeah, well now our boss wants to send a message to make sure that he doesn’t butt into our business again,” Thug 4 added, patting a gun in his holster. “And if he doesn’t, anyone around him suffers."
"Including that thick chick he’s with right now?” Thug 1 said with a smirk.
“As much as a pain it is, yeah,” Thug 4 added.
The thugs keep following Eternal and Sunset, keeping their distance until the right time to strike. In just a few minutes, the couple finally made it home. "I'll be right back, babe. I'm gonna go get the car keys so we can take off," Sunset said.
"Alright. I'll be waiting out by the car," Eternal replied. Sunset gave him a peck on the cheek before heading inside. Now that Eternal was alone, he went and leaned against the car and waited patiently for his girlfriend. Just then, his senses kicked in just before he heard a gun cocking behind him. He looks behind him and sees 4 thugs, one of them pulling a gun at him and the other three surrounding him. "What's the big deal here?" he asked in a calm, serious tone, upping his guard.
"We heard you were the one who messed up our associates," thug 1 said.
"Associates? Are you talking about those goons who hurt my friend's family? You're lucky I even let them live. Next time, they should try a real job instead of this crime crap," Eternal rebutted, folding his arms.
"Yeah, yeah, talk smack all you want, but we've been told by our boss to relay a message. Stay out of our business or your loved ones'll get hurt!" thug 2 replied.
"And to be sure you cooperate, that little girlfriend of yours be made an example of," thug 3 added with a cocky smirk. Right away, Eternal's fists clenched, but the 4th thug caught on.
"Don't even try it! One wrong move and you can kiss high school graduation goodbye!" thug 4 said, getting closer and putting his gun right at Eternal's temple.
"Just one question…" Eternal said in a low tone. "...do you drink milk every day?" The other thugs were confused by his question, but then… Eternal gripped tightly on the 4th thug's wrist and threw him to the ground, making him slam against the concrete. "And a word to your boss: He has no say-so in who lives or dies. So unless he wants more of you bozos 6 feet under, he'll come face me like a man or I'll hunt him down myself!"
"Big mistake, buster!" thug 1 said before pulling out a knife. Thug 2 went and got out his electric baton, ready to rough him up.
"Yeah… big mistake… ON YOUR PART!!!" Eternal yelled before charging in. The two thugs took some swings at him, but he parkour dodged them before sweeping one of them by the legs and uppercutting the other by the chin. The thug was sent flying in the air and Eternal jumped up and landed a barrage of rough punches and kicks before knocking him out with one final kick to the jaw.
The knocked out thug landed face first, blood leaking out of his mouth while the other tries to get up from the leg sweep.
“YOU’RE FUCKING DEAD, PUNK!!!” thug 2 yelled
"I broke your partner's jaw, I can do the same thing with you… but worse," Eternal said, cracking his knuckles. The thug took a desperate swing at the big bruiser, but he caught his wrist and slammed his fist against the thug's rib cage. He yelled in agony before collapsing onto his knees and dropping his knife. Eternal delivered a roundhouse kick to the guy's other rib cage, but felt no collapsing ribs. However, he'll be feeling that one in the morning.
Eternal grabbed him by the shirt collar and by the hem, lifting him over his head. "I'm gonna give you to the count of 3 to tell me who your employer is and what he has to gain for wanting to shut me up!" he warned. "1… 2…"
"Compared to this, you don't know what he's capable of! Do you even know what he's gonna do to me if I give out his name?" the thug asked.
"Something… like this?" Eternal asked, slamming him against the wall of his and Sunset's house, but not too hard. The thug grunted in pain from the impact as blood trickled down his forehead. "And I'm just getting warmed up!"
"Oh yeah? Well guess what!" the thug with the gun shouted. Eternal looked back and saw the guy holding his wrist. "While you were busy with us, we snuck one of our guys into your house to deal with your little girlfriend personally!"
“YOU WHAT!!?”
"Yeah, that's right! Any minute now, she's gonna be--" thug 4 was interrupted when the thug who snuck in was literally kicked out of the front door. His face all bruised up and missing a few teeth and blood trickling out of his mouth. Not to mention the fact that both of his arms were broken as well.
"Next time you sneak into my house, I'll send you to prison in a body bag," she threatened. “And maybe that oughta teach you to keep your hands to yourself, asshole!”
“The fuck?” the thug said in shock.
“What, you expected me to be weak?” she said in annoyance.
"Oh, did I forget to mention the combat training I put my lady through? Yeah… if you know what's good for you, you'll relay my message to your boss: either he faces us like man… or we drag his ass straight to prison ourselves," Eternal said
"Grrr, you'll regret messing with us! You'll see! We know where you live!" the remaining thug said vengefully.
"Oh really?" Sunset asked confidently, before knocking them out. “I’m gonna go inside and call the cops.”
“Good call,”
And so after another set of goons were carted off, Eternal and Sunset were escorted to the police station as a precaution in case anymore thugs show up.
"We can't thank you enough for helping us out with this, Shining," Sunset said.
"Think nothing of it, Sunset. It's the least I can do for my sister's best friends. Sorry you got followed back to your house,” Shining said with a sigh.
“Some asshole got butt hurt that I kicked the asses of his goons,” Eternal groaned. “Hope this gets my message across next time.”
“Noted, if you’re this tough, then I’m glad that Twilight has a boyfriend with a tough sibling to look after them,” he said with a smile. “Anyways, does your mother know about your...changes?”
“We haven’t really told them yet,” Sunset admitted. “Figured that it might be a growth spurt.”
“Well I’m sure that they’ll be surprised to see you like this,” Shining added.
“Speaking of surprises, what’s gonna happen to the guys we beat up at Sunset’s place?” Eternal asked.
"Considering how they followed you guys there, and for intimidation no less, we'll probably arrange a speedy trial for them. Hopefully, they'll be placed under lock and key," Shining said.
“And you already have witnesses as well,” Sunset added. “Also given the injuries we gave them, does that mean we’ll be affected in this too?”
"No, your actions were justified as self-defense, so you'll only need to give your statements," Shining reassured.
“That’s good to hear,” Sunset added. "By the way, how's Twilight doing so far?"
"She's alright. I heard she went out for ice cream with Heat Blitz. I even saw the little music box he gave her. He's got a good head on his shoulder. Kinda like your boyfriend, Sunset," Shining pointed out. “Also Eternal, we contacted your family to let them know what happened.”
"That's fine. They deserve to know everything," Eternal replied.
“We’re almost at the precinct,” Shining said. The rest of the trip, Shining, Sunset and Eternal said nothing and waited to get out. Soon, Shining parked his patrol car in the parking lot and climbed out. He unlocked the door and let Sunet and Eternal out of the back seat.
They followed Shining inside the station while his partners brought in the thugs who followed the couple to their home.
“So glad they won’t be bothering us anytime soon,” Sunset said with a smile.
“I wouldn’t be so sure,” Shining added. “We may have to put you all in witness protection if this keeps up. So as a necessary precaution, You're gonna have to stay with Celestia and have a patrol car parked outside, guarding you just in case. You'll be guarded until the trial ends." he explained, to which they nodded.
“I plan on locking my door when I go to pick up some things anyway,” Sunset followed up. Around that time, the door to the precinct opened to reveal Twilight Sparkle, Heat Blitz, Celestia and Luna. Celestia was at the front desk, looking extremely worried, hoping her son was okay.
“Where is he?” Celestia asked frantically, shaking one of the officers. "Please tell me my son is okay, I have to know!"
"Ma'am, please calm down!" officer #1 said while being shook.
"I have to know if my son is alright or not! If he's hurt I--" Celestia said before getting cut off.
"Mom, I'm over here," Eternal called out. Celestia turned his direction, gasping. She felt relieved to hear her son's voice. She didn't even hesitate to run over and hug her son. But… when she felt her son's body, she noticed that something seemed… off. He felt… bigger… and taller. And when she looked at him, she was surprised to see that he might've had a major growth spurt.
"Honey… wha… what happened to you?" Celestia asked in shock.
"It's… a long story," Eternal said hesitantly. Meanwhile, his aunt Luna took one look at him and instantly fainted. Twilight checked both him and Sunset out and instantly got a nosebleed. Heat, on the other hand, dropped his jaw.
"I was so worried about you. I thought I'd lost you!" Celestia said, hugging him again.
"I'm sorry. But I'm okay now. Me… and Sunset." Eternal assured.
“What happened to you guys yesterday?” Heat asked in confusion
"Like Eternal said it’s a long story, but we should really give our statements to Shining after he stopped a break in and stopped us from getting assaulted,” Sunset followed up.
“Exactly, so if you would both follow me,” Shining mentioned as he opened a door to another room. Eternal and Sunset walked with Shining leaving the rest of the family to wait outside. Meanwhile, Heat's phone vibrates and he takes it out. He sees that he got a text from Summer Solstice, saying she'll be coming back after studying abroad.
Heat texts her back, telling her he'll be waiting, then puts his phone away.
Right now, Shining has now arrived in the interrogation room and is currently interviewing Eternal Flames.
"Alright, let's get this show on the road. Tell me everything that happened up 'till now," Shining said, recording everything on his digital recorder.
During the interrogation, Sunset watched from outside, as did a couple of police officers. Even after taking down a bunch of thugs, she was still shaken up about the whole thing. This whole incident just made her feel less safe in her own home. Even if they do get convicted, what's the point if their boss knows where they live? At this point, she might just have to move to a new place, but she can't. Not with her current budget.
“Hey, what’s wrong?” a voice said getting her attention. She looked up to see Vice Principal Luna talking to her.
"Oh, hi Luna. I'm just… I'm a little worried. Some goons followed us home and now I don't feel safe there anymore. They might have told their boss where we are now. What if he sends an entire army after us… or worse. What if… What if he comes after our friends and family?" Sunset asked, rubbing her arm, trembling a little.
"I see," Luna nodded in understanding. "Look, there's no need to worry. Shining's already taking care of the situation and he'll probably open up an investigation on whoever their boss is. Give it some time and before you know it, he'll have taken him out”
“Well with whatever Shining may have planned, I can’t exactly go back home now,” Sunset added. “I really don’t have a place to stay at the moment.”
"You're considered family, so you could always stay with me and my sister for the time being. We have plenty of room at our house," Luna offered.
“A-are you sure?” Sunset asked. “I-I mean I don’t want to be a bother.”
“Nonsense, we never turn our backs on one another. I can't recall the many times you helped us and now it's time we helped you," Luna said, patting Sunset lightly on the shoulder. Sunset wasn’t really worried about staying where her boyfriend lives, it was that Luna, if angered, can be very scary sometimes.
“I guess I can take your word for it,” Sunset added. Around that time, they both heard the door open next to them.
“Thank you for your time Eternal,” Shining said with a smile. “I’ll also make sure that the ‘other Problem’ is taken care of.”
“Thanks Shining,” Eternal said with a smile.
"You're welcome. Okay, Sunset. It's your turn," Shining said.
"Coming," Sunset replied. Eternal waited patiently, leaning against the wall while Sunset waved to him as she walked inside. Her boyfriend nodded and waved back at her before the door close
“So what’d you talk about with Sunset?”
“I offered her a chance to move in with us,” Luna said with a smile.
“Just promise that you don’t scare her,” he said with a sigh.
“Why would I scare her?”
“No offense auntie, but you tend to get a little intense. Remember that heated argument you had with mom because she ate your slice of cake?” he brought up.
"You are never gonna let me live that one down, are you?" Luna asked, rolling her eyes.
"I don't like doing it, but when you deny it, I have to bring it up. But then again, I guess I could lay off a little," Eternal said.
“Fine, I’ll try to take it easy,”
"That's all I ask. Thanks, aunt Luna," Eternal replied before hugging her. “So Sunset will be moving in with us as of today?”
“Yes, hopefully we can take care of everything when this is over,” Luna added with a smile. Eventually the door behind them opened up and Shining and Sunset stepped out of the room.
“Thank you for your time Sunset,” Shining said with a smile.
“Thanks Shining Armor,” Sunset followed suit.
"No problem. Now that I've gotten both statements, you guys are free to go home. But I recommend you stay away from your own home for a while, at least until the heat dies down or when the trial ends," Shining said.
“That’s nice, I already found a place to stay anyway,” she said with a smile looking at Celestia and her family.
“We should probably get going then,” Celestia added. “You can tell us what’s going on when we get home. We do have a spare bedroom you can use.”
“Alright,” Sunset said with a smile.
“Oh and Twilight, I’ll see you at home,” he added with a smile. The group then walks out of the precinct, and Shining armor would be doing what he does best. Sorting through paperwork.
Author's Note
That's another chapter in the works, and ready for the next chapter later down the road. Anyways, we hope you're enjoying this series. Credit goes to Israel Yabuki with the ideas and funny moments for this chapter as well as the action scene.
Web Warriors of Canterlot City
“So, would you both explain to me what exactly happened and why you look like this?” Celestia said while she, Heat Blitz, Sunset, Luna, and Twilight were in the car with her. They were driving through the city on their way to their Two-story house that was just a few blocks away from Canterlot City.
"Uh… extra vitamins and minerals?" Eternal shrugged.
“I find that rather hard to believe with how we saw you just yesterday and you suddenly wind up like this today,” Luna added. “Not to mention how nervous you’re both acting.”
"Uh… I'm not sure you'd believe us if we told you," Eternal said.
“Um...Principal Celestia,” Twilight said, getting their attention. “I think we should save that subject for tomorrow. They both had to deal with an assault and attempted murder earlier. So maybe we should focus on something else for right now.”
"Fair point. We can discuss your changes tomorrow.” Celestia nodded
“Thanks,” Sunset followed up. “I did make sense to talk to Rarity and explain our situation, but let’s just say that she got a little...distracted…”
"Let me guess, she checked you two out and fainted from seeing your, pardon my choice of words, your honkers, perfect curves and my brother's brickhouse body," Heat said deadpanned.
“BLITZ!!” Sunset yelled, her face burning red.
"Like I said, pardon my choice of words," he said, raising his hands defensively.
“You’re lucky Twilight likes you…” she grumbled, with a pout.
"Anyways, do you both want anything while we’re out driving?” Celestia asked.
"No thanks, we just ate a big meal during lunch some time before we went to the station," Eternal shook his head left and right.
"Maybe not, but me and Twilight are famished. We haven't had a chance to eat in a few hours. So, Twilight, what are you having a hankering for?" Heat asked.
"Hmm… now that I think about, perhaps maybe I could indulge in some pizza. It's been a while since I had any," Twilight said.
“Which place?” Celestia asked.
"Ooh! Maybe you can stop by Cheesey Pete's Pizza?" Twilight asked. "They make the best stuffed-crust pizzas there."
"Mmm, stuffed crust. You can eat it… in reverse!" Heat agreed.
“Okay, I’ll call them in, and we can pick it up on the way home,” Luna added. "And, uh… might as well get two in case Eternal and Sunset need something for dinner."
“Guess it’s a good call,” Eternal added.
"Yeah, something tells me we may have to… start dinner a couple of hours early," Sunset added, chuckling nervously.
"An early dinner? You two must have a high metabolism or something," Celestia replied.
“You could say that,” Sunset added. They continued to enjoy the drive and Luna even picked up two large Deep Dish Pizzas. One was classic Pepperoni for Heat Blitz and Twilight, while the other Pepperoni and Jalapeno Pizza was for Eternal and Sunset later. After picking up both Deep Dish pies, they arrived at their place.
Celestia and Luna climbed out of the car to go unlock the door to their house while Celestia's boys and their girlfriends helped unload the pizzas. She unlocks the door and everyone quickly walks in one at a time.
"Alright, everyone put the pizzas down on the table, wash your hands and then come back." Celestia said.
“Thank you for letting me stay over Principal Celestia. I promise I won’t be a burden to you,” Twilight said as she followed Celestia and her family inside.
"Don't be silly, Sunset. You're part of the family as far as I'm concerned. What's ours is yours and what's yours is ours," Celestia reassured.
"Should I set up a guest room for Sunset to stay in or do I just let her crash with me over in my old room?" Eternal asked.
“She can bunk with you, so long as neither of you try to make a move on each other,” she said with a smirk. Sunset and Eternal immediately blush in response.
“P-principal Celestia!”
"M-MOM!!! Gimme a break, you know I'm not gonna try that until after I'm an adult!" Eternal objected, covering his face with one hand.
"Relax, son. I know you're patient. But I must remind you that your 18th birthday as well as your brother's is in a couple of days. Twilight, Sunset, you're both 18 right now, right?" Celestia asked the girls.
"18 and a half, to be exact," Twilight confirmed.
"Yeah, that's right." Sunset nodded, but hiding her face in her hair.
"Well, as soon as my boys turn 18, you can have as much fun as you want… as long as you don't get pregnant too soon," she teased again. Everyone other than Luna blushed at her words as Celestia giggled and walked upstairs.
"I swear to god, she can be a real troll sometimes," Eternal groaned.
"You're telling me. Mom's a real work of art when she wants to be," Heat agreed.
“You get used to it after awhile,” Luna added. “Back in our younger years I walked in on her and her husband making love. It was… rather awkward and it was even more awkward as she made a joke to me after that.”
“I don’t think I want to know,” Sunset sighed.
“Same here,” Twilight added, her face bright red from embarrassment.
“I understand,” Luna added as she walked upstairs to join her sister, leaving the group of teens alone.
“Okay, well with that out of the way,” Heat said as he turned to Eternal and Sunset. “Maybe you both can explain why you both look like supermodels from a magazine?”
“And how did you defend yourselves from the thugs that tried to attack you earlier?” Twilight followed up, as she was washing her hands.
"Alright, I suppose you deserve to know," Eternal sighed in defeat. He then gestured both Heat and Twilight over. They huddled in close and loaned them their ears. "Do you remember when our class trip got cut short at the Filthy Rich Corporation?" he whispered.
"Yeah, but we didn't know why," Heat nodded, whispering.
"The thing is… Eternal and I snuck off on our own to check out one of the exhibits. It was some kind of spider exhibit and one of the researchers dropped a box full of genetically enhanced spiders and broke the box. I think two of the escaped spiders hitched a ride on us," Sunset whispered quietly.
"And when we got back to school, those little buggers bit us, Some time after we got home, we felt weak… and tired. So, Sunset and I passed out on the couch and then, the next thing we knew, we woke up and our bodies were more filled out," Eternal whispered, leaving out the part about Madam Webb.
"Wait, so your bodies changed because of a couple of genetically altered spider bites?" Twilight asks quietly, astonished. The fiery couple nodded. "Oh wow! I never thought such a thing would be possible in this day and age! Tell me, what other kind of enhancements did you two? I have got to take a note of this!" she said excitedly.
"Easy, Twily. Your adorkabetes is showing," Heat chuckled.
“Thanks bro,” Eternal followed up.
“Well other than the new bodies, we did get something else,” Sunset followed up. “Earlier today while I was on my way to get lunch I sensed someone trying to make a move on me. And when he tried to grab me, he yelled that I almost took off his arm. Then there was the attack where I kicked that one guy in the face and he flew out my door.”
"It's the same for me when I was almost shot, but when I dodged, it felt like I was flying in the air when I jumped, despite my large stature. On top of that… I think our appetites might've gotten a little bigger," Eternal added. "Oh… and there's also… these," he then opened up his mouth and showed the two sharp fangs.
"Whoa! Those are sharp! Did you bite yourself by accident?" Heat asked, shocked.
"Yup… and it didn't feel well." Eternal replied.
"And don't even get me started on these," Sunset replied before showing her claws. “I accidentally ripped his previous shirt because of ‘em.”
“You have claws and he has fangs, this is amazing!” Twilight said in shock.
“We were planning on testing our powers at an abandoned warehouse, but then that mess happened,” Eternal added.
“So after you guys eat we can check out the Abandoned Warehouse to see what we can do?” Sunset added.
“We'd love to help you, but we have a project we need to do first," Twilight said regretfully.
"Yeah, that’s kinda the reason why I invited her to my place,” Heat added. “Last time she tried to invite me to her place, her crazy dad tried to shoot me.”
“Oh man, how could we forget that?” Sunset followed up. She and everyone shuddered at the thought when Celestia found out. She nearly tried to break him in half when that happened. If Luna didn’t calm her down who knows what she could’ve done.
"I still can't believe mom had him bed-ridden for 3 weeks. It's gonna take a long time before that man even thinks about trusting us. But he should've known better than to lump my own brother with that cheating bastard,” Eternal said.
“Isn’t her dad mentally scarred whenever he sees her?” Sunset asked, turning to Twilight.
“Yeah, let’s just say that parent teacher conferences and open houses at school have been very awkward as he avoided eye contact with Principal Celestia after that day,” she said. “He had to seek therapy and he’s still scared of her.”
"In my honest opinion, aside from therapy… he needs closure. Put this whole mess behind him and for both of our parents to apologize," Heat recommended.
“That’ll be later. Okay how about this, we help you guys with your project and see if we can get it done tonight, and we go to the warehouse as well. That sound fair?” Sunset asked
“I guess that would work,” Twilight nodded.
“Okay, but we'll worry about that after we eat,” He said as he and the group washed their hands. Later, Celestia and Luna came down in casual wear and they, Twilight and Heat Blitz ate first while watching some TV. As celestia was flipping through channels, a news report was starting to go through.
"Breaking news today as a group of armed robbers have been apprehended with the help of a couple of individuals. Earlier today, three armed robbers infiltrated Carousel Boutique and held a family hostage. These masked menaces would've gotten away with a big score had it not been for the courageous act of a young man who is choosing to remain anonymous for the time being.. Reports from the victims stated he was bringing their oldest daughter home at the time of the incident," The news anchorman said.
"But that's not all, that very same young man and his girlfriend had an encounter with 4 more goons who threaten him and his girlfriend, who also chooses to remain anonymous, to stay out of their business. The couple was told they were working for someone else," The news anchor woman next to him. “Luckily, they managed to fight them off and had them detained until the police arrived. Some of them will be treated for injuries and then be taken into custody.”
“Glad we chose to stay anonymous,” Sunset said with a sigh. “I’d hate to gain the ire of whoever sent those assholes after us.”
“Well you’re welcome to stay with us for as long as you like until the Trial starts,” Celestia said with a smile.
"That's nice of you, Celestia. I could use a break from all this. Today's been nothing but a string of hostile events," Sunset accepted. "Celestia, have you ever had to deal with something similar to our current situation?"
"I don't know. It's been a long time, I might've forgotten one. But I happen to remember, I'll let you know," Celestia said. "For now, let's just focus on trying to relax and have some dinner. You've already been through enough as it is."
"Yeah, good point," Sunset nodded. Everyone then quickly served themselves a plate of their pizza slices and took their dinner to the living room where they all continued to watch TV. They flipped through another channel and noticed that Shining Armor was on.
“Hey Twilight, your brother's on!” Heat stated. Twilight gasped and watched with glee.
"We've apprehended the suspects and plan to prosecute them to the max extent. If their boss has a problem with losing a few men, then he can take it up with me man-to-man! I won’t rest until this monster and his criminal underworld have been brought to justice.”
“That’s so Shining Armor,” Twilight said proudly.
"Gutsy move… but also dangerous," Eternal said, feeling a bit uneasy. “I mean; I get not having any fear against anyone, but we don’t know who this one asshole he’s going after is capable of.”
“You know Shining Armor’s old saying; No matter how hard things get, you always have to be responsible,” Twilight said with a smile.
"Let's just hope it doesn't get him killed," Heat said.
“Hey, my brother is tougher than he looks,” Twilight pouted, smacking her boyfriend in the arm.
"Ow! Sorry, I'm just worried about him," he groaned. “I wasn’t doubting the guy.”
“I hope not,” she added with annoyance.
"As much as I would like to hear you talk about your brother, shouldn’t we finish this pizza?” Eternal said with a dull stare. Twilight and Heat looked at each other, and blushed in embarrassment as they continued to eat as they watched the news. Another anchor showed up as she was having an interview with a very familiar male that Sunset ran into on her way to get lunch earlier.
"In other news, it seems there was a fight that broke out in our city and it was all captured on film, but be advised as this footage may be a little too graphic for some viewers," the news anchorwoman explained before showing a video of Sunset roughing up a random stranger, followed by the guy being interviewed.
"She's a freaking masochist, I tell you! And to think that my babe and I were close! I thought I was gonna die back there!" the victim said, looking traumatized.
“That fucking asshole!” Sunset shouted, standing up from her seat, and getting everyone else’s attention.
“Language Sunset,” Celestia said with a sigh.
“Who’s that guy?” Eternal ask, and Sunset pinched the bridge of her eyes in frustration.
“That’s the jerk who tried to slap my ass earlier when I had my back turned,” Sunset groaned in annoyance. “He’s just mad that he was thrown by a girl. Fucking creep.”
"I believe my sister said "Language," young lady," Luna said.
"Oh, I'm gonna put some dirt in his eye," Eternal said, getting up from his seat.
“I actually have a better idea,” Twilight said with a smile as she took out her smartphone. “Since that guy tried to defame you, we already know what he looks like. All I have to do is make one little phone call to someone I know.”
"You're calling Shining Armor, aren't you?" Heat asked, smirking.
"Hmm… maybe," Twilight replied, smirking as well. “Just give me a few minutes and I’ll be back in the room.” Twilight then stepped out of the room and made the phone call to her brother.
The news continued on, along with the creep saying he was going to press charges on his "girlfriend" for throwing him for no reason. And after his little rant, the news directed their attention to something else, mostly good stories of people recovering from illnesses, bad stories of more murders in the city. But then, later on, there was an interview with Shining Armor about him making an arrest on the same guy who tried pressing charges on Sunset.
"I recently got… an anonymous tip from someone that the young lady was framed. I ran a background on this guy and turns out, he's had a previous record for stalking minors. We've already arrested him and am asking to give my sincerest apologies to the young lady and her real boyfriend for having to deal with this immature creep." Shining said.
“I’ll ‘bleep’ get you, you ‘bleep’,” he yelled on the air.
“Glad TV shows censor that,” Sunset said as she turned towards Twilight who came back down smiling. “Thanks Twilight, you rule…”
“Glad I could help,” she said with a smile. “I’ll bet the network was nervous about getting hit with a lawsuit and decided to go with the anonymous tip.”
“Good to hear,” Eternal added. “Anyways, Sunset and I have somewhere to be.”
"Oh, is that right?” Celestia asked, smirking slyly. "Don't tell me you're gonna go and start giving me "grandchildren" are you?"
"MOM!!! DON'T JOKE LIKE THAT!!!" Eternal shouted. Celestia laughed it up as a joke.
“Where could you both be going at this time?” Luna asked with a concerned and confused look. “Especially with everything that’s happened today.”
“We wanted to check the abandoned warehouse to find some stuff for our project,” Eternal added. “Twilight and Heat said that they wanted to help us out as well.”
“Are you sure you’ll all be alright?”
"With the way we've changed right now, I think we'll be alright,"
“You both still owe us an explanation about why you look the way you do when you get back,” Luna followed up sternly. “You can't’ keep dodging this forever.”
"And we'll tell you eventually, I promise," Eternal assured. “Just need to get this out of the way while we’re at it.”
“All right, just be careful out there and don't let anymore creeps jump you,” she warned.
“At least try to protect your brother and his girlfriend as well,” Luna added.
“Don’t worry, we’ll be careful,” Eternal followed up. “You want us to get you anything while we’re at it?”
"Hmm… let's see… nothing comes to mind," Heat said.
“Nothing that I’m aware of,” Twilight said as she placed her laptop into her bag. “I do at least want to work on my project while we’re out.”
“Okay, come with us. But stay close when we get there,” Sunset said. "We don't want anything bad to happen to you, so we'll be your bodyguards."
“At least try to stay out of trouble, and if you see anyone suspicious, call the police,” Celestia said with a smile as she and Luna saw them out.
"We will. See you later, mom," Heat said.
"Don't worry, they're in good hands," Eternal reassured, patting his brother on the back.
“Alright,” Celestia said with a sigh. The group of highschoolers then began to get the car ready in the garage and buckled themselves up before Eternal started the engine. He pulled out of the garage and drove off while his mother and aunt watched, hoping their boys and their lovers would come home safely.
“I just hope that what happened on the news blows over soon,” Celestia said with a sigh.
“You’re still worried that something bad may happen to your sons like what happened to your husband?” Luna asked Celestia. Celestia simply sigh, as a single tear ran down her cheek.
“Is it that obvious?” she asked as she hugged her sister.
“You know that you can’t hide your hurt feelings from your sons or their girlfriends forever right?” Luna brought up with a sigh. Celestia could never forget what happened to her husband that tragic day. It was just about a year ago when her sons just entered their junior year in high school and their sister Summer Solstice went abroad. Blaze Burn was a top notch investigative reporter who wouldn’t slow down in his journalism. He was about to publish a story on a member of one of the mafia crime families when he was killed in a car crash. The day he died Celestia cried herself to sleep.
When her boys heard about the news, Eternal was bitter and wanted to kill the people who took his father away. Heat had isolated himself in his room for days, crying over his loving dad being gone from his world. The worst part was that their father promised to take them on a 1 week Summer vacation on a private island after he planned on finishing the case and his boys doing well in school.
A funeral was made for her husband and an investigation later went into work to determine if the crash was based on foul play, but it was ruled an accident. Sadly it was covered up as Celestia believed that a murder happened. Celestia had a strong belief that her husband's death was ruled as an accident to cover up the fact that he was murdered. But she didn't wanna risk making a move or those same people would come after her sons, so Celestia remained silent about the whole ordeal. She did what she could to keep them safe, but she still wanted to be sure that nothing would happen to them.
“To this day it still hurts,” Celestia said with a sigh. Right now, she's hoping her own kids don't put themselves in danger because right now… this is out of her reach.
A blue Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross was driving through the city with four passengers inside. Sunset, Twilight and their boyfriends, Heat and Eternal. Their destination: an abandoned warehouse, but on the way there, a few questions rang inside their heads.
“So how long are we going to be there?" Sunset asked.
"At least half an hour so we can get all the info we need on our project," Twilight said.
“What exactly are you and Heat working on anyway?” Sunset asked.
“Oh my project is actually based on Trigonometry,” Twilight explained. “We’ve been gathering seismic activity in specific areas, and then we have to perform a presentation where the seismic activity would affect the wavelengths in natural disaster cases to better prepare for them.”
“So like if an earthquake hits the city, Twilight’s presentation would help deduce where it's most likely to hit the hardest and help everyone prepare for the worst,” Heat followed up.
"Wow, talk about genius. I hope you guys ace the exam. Keep up that teamwork and you'll be entitled to a really big scholarship," Eternal calmly praised.
“Thanks,” Twilight and Heat said in unison. "Jinx!" they said again before laughing it out. Sunset and Eternal shook their heads in amusement.
Before long, the group had finally arrived at the abandoned warehouse and around that time, the sun was nowhere in the sky, but its rays were still there. It was almost too dark to see out, so this put Sunset and Eternal on high alert. They all got out and handed each other some flashlights from Celestia's glove compartment.
"Now remember, don't wander off too far and if you run into trouble, flick your lights on and off and we'll be there as quick as possible. Okay?" Sunset asked.
"We will," Heat nodded in understanding.
After their little agreement, Heat and Twilight went in first before Eternal and Sunset just so they'd keep an eye out for them more effectively.
"So, how are you guys gonna measure the wavelengths? Did you bring some sort of equipment that can do that for you?" Sunset asked.
“It’s all on my laptop,” Twilight said with a smile. “I have software that records seismic data and I even have a microphone in my bag to record the data as well.”
“Okay then, go ahead and do your business and we'll be waiting close by,” Eternal nodded as he and his girlfriend gave the two some space to work.
“Shouldn’t we at least tell them now, while we’re here?” Sunset asked. “We can’t keep dodging this forever, and the same goes for your mom and aunt as well.”
“You got a point babe, but how would they react when we tell them?” Eternal added.
"We'll just have to hope for the best and prepare for the worst," Sunset said.
“Okay we should at least try to-” Eternal was cut off when he heard what sounded like something hitting the floor. “What was that?”
“It came from back there,” Sunset said as she also heard the crash. Eternal and Sunset made a quick dash to where they heard that loud crashing noise. It was just outside of the warehouse and thought something was off. Using hier flashlight, they shined a light towards the ground and found Twilight’s Laptop on the ground. It’s screen was static as the laptop was damaged.
"Twilight's laptop! It looks like she dropped it. The only question is… why?" Eternal asked before his light caught something else on the ground; a footprint. "Sunset… either Heat's feet grew… or he and Twilight might've been taken." Eternal said, on the verge of panicking… and losing his violent temper. Sunset then looked down to see more footprints and what looked to see drag lines on the floor.
"You might be right about the latter… there's more footprints. And they all seem fresh. Quick, if we hurry, we might be able to save them!" Sunset said urgently.
“Where do you think they’d be?” Eternal asked.
“We’ll have to go inside to see what happened,” Sunset said. Eternal nodded, but before they could go inside, Sunset peeked through one of the broken windows. They peered around the room and were stunned with what they found. There seemed to be a total of about fourteen goons with various weapons, like bats, crowbars, and two of them had pistols. Two guards were guarding one way, while another two were guarding the other way. The remaining group were in the center of the room and looked to be talking.
“Oh crap,” Sunset whispered, slowly peeking her head down.
“Yeah, I don’t think we’ll be going inside," Eternal whispered. "Wait… look there," he pointed out. One of the goons, looked to be holding something in his hand… possibly a duffle bag or a briefcase, but it was too dark to see clearly. It looked as if they were conversing with the man with the big money stacks. The other had what looked like white bricks.
“We at least know what’s going on, but we don’t know who they are, or where Heat or Twilight are,” Sunset added.
"Then, we'd better find another way in to scout the area and find Twilight and Heat. They're lives are our top priority." Eternal whispered.
“Well how exactly are we going to get in the- wait!” Sunset stopped herself from talking and thought about what happened to them. “If we’re able to sense things like a spider, could we be able to climb the wall like a spider?”
"Beats me… but it is worth testing out. Let's see if your theory is true," He replied. The two stared up at the wall, then down to their hands. The first to test out the theory was Sunset, who jumped straight onto the wall, hoping to stick to it… and she did. She looked shocked, but also pleased to know her theory was right.
"Huh? Did you guys hear that?" Goon 1 asked.
"Relax, probably just a stray mutt," Goon 2 replied.
Sunset and Eternal stayed silent for a bit just to be safe.
“Sorry,” Sunset said as she looked at Eternal who slowly walked towards the wall, and softly placed his digits on the wall, slowly climbing up onto the wall with Sunset. This time, both of them made sure not to make too much noise as they scaled the walls.
They make it to the top floor through an open, broken window. Luckily none of the goons heard them coming in and kept climbing until they reached the ceiling.
Both wall-crawlers looked down to find where their friends were being held captive. "Do you see them anywhere?" Eternal asked quietly.
“Not yet, it’s too dark to- Wait, over there…” Sunset whispered as she pointed towards two figures that were huddled together and were being guarded by two more guards, one with a shotgun and another with a rifle. They both had bags over their heads so she couldn’t see their faces. “I can’t see their faces. We’ll need to get closer to help them.”
"How? If we get too close, they'll spot us and likely shoot all of us. Unless you have some sort plan to subdue them," Eternal whispered.
“Wait,” Sunset said as she reached in her back pocket and took out a few coins. “I still have some change from lunch earlier.”
"Coins, how are we-- oh wait, wait, I think I get it now. I trust you," Eternal said in realization. Sunset nodded to his support before tossing some of her coins to a corner of the warehouse at a bunch of barrels, making loud, hollow clunking sounds, alerting the goons.
"Hey, what was that?" Goon #1 asked.
"Dunno. Somebody go and check it out!" Goon #2 commanded.
"On it.” The goons that were guarding the two people were the first to leave, allowing Sunset and Eternal to crawl on the walls and onto the floor. They stayed hidden in the shadows and walked over to the bodies that were tied up. When they got closer, they saw that it was Twilight and Heat Blitz that was tied together. They could recognize their clothes, but they couldn’t see their faces since they had bags covering them.
"Guys, are you okay?” Sunset whispered, getting Twilight’s attention.
“Eternal, sunset, is that you guys?” Twilight whispered in a scared voice. “What are you guys doing here?”
"Shh… it is. Listen, we're gonna get you guys outta here soon," Eternal whispered back. "Heat, are you alright?" he asked, but got no response. "Heat?" Again… no response. "Heat, what's the matter?" he asked one more time before peeking under the bag.
“Oh god, what happened to him?” Sunset said in shock.
“It was after we were jumped by those creeps,” Twilight added. “Heat tried to defend me and they hit him in the face and back of the head with one of their weapons. After that, they dragged us here and we were tied up, said we’d be taken care of after the were done with their deal.”
". . .They. . .did. . .what?" Eternal whispered, clenching his fists. "Oh, those bastards are gonna pay for what they did to my brother."
"Slow down, Eternal, let's think this through.” Sunset said, trying to hold him back. “Lashing out in anger will just get you killed. Not to mention that you might get your brother seriously injured. He’s still unconscious.”
Though he wanted to blow his top off, he knew getting angry wouldn't help. Eternal sighed and nodded at Sunset. "You're right. So how do we plan to get them out of here?”
“First, let’s cut them out of their ropes,” Sunset said as she unsheathed her talons, cutting the ropes that had them bound to a large crate. A light snip, she cut the ropes and Twilight could finally move her hands and she knelt to her boyfriend.
“Okay, if we can knock out those two we can sneak away,” Sunset mentioned as she pointed towards the two thugs that were guarding the other entrance to the abandoned building.
“But what about my laptop?” Twilight asked.
“It’s still outside when we entered through the roof,” Sunset mentioned. “Can you be able to carry him?”
“Only over my shoulder, but I can,” Twilight mentioned.
“Okay, soon as we get out of here, we’re calling your brother,” Sunset added.
"And if some of them come after you, either keep going or find someplace safe to hide until the police come," Eternal said.
“Shouldn’t we all try to get out of here?” Sunset said as she looked at Eternal with worry in her eyes… and of course, Eternal nodded.
"Alright. We came here together and we'll leave together." Eternal whispered. With complete agreement, they help Twilight up while carrying Heat Blitz. The two sneak towards the main entrance/exit of the warehouse, making it outside, only to be spotted by the two guards.
"H-He--" one of the guards tried to say. But Sunset jumped and did a double split kick, knocking both of them out. But one of the guards unconsciously fired his weapon, alerting all the others.
"Hey! What the?!" one of the goons shouted. Just then… they noticed that the two hostages they had were now gone.
"The hostages are gone! How’d they get loose?” Another goon yelled.
“I don’t care how they got loose damnit! Find them!" another goon called out. No sooner than he did, a rush of multiple footsteps could be heard. This was their chance to escape.
“Oh crap!” Sunset yelled
“Shit, Run!” Eternal followed up before they bolted at full speed. Sunset and Eternal helped with Heat Blitz who was still unconscious and were still leading them away.
“Damn, bastards are gaining,” Sunset said as she looked behind her to see the group slowly catching up.
"We have no choice, we'll have to set Twilight and Heat down someplace safe. Then we'll take care of the goons!" Eternal replied.
“Hey there's your car,” Sunset said, pointing at the blue vehicle.
"Good eye, babe!" Eternal replied. They managed to get to their car and helped Twilight and Heat Blitz into the vehicle.
“Stay here, and keep your heads down till we get back okay?” Sunset told them.
“What're you going to do?” Twilight asked as the group of 16 goons soon arrived.
"Serve up a whole sandwich dinner platter… tonight's flavor… knuckle sandwich!" he snarled, clenching his fists. Soon afterwards, the goons surrounded the car, and had their weapons drawn on them.
“You caused us a lot of trouble butting in on our business,” The head good said stepping between the other goons.
"And you made the biggest mistake of taking a couple of minors hostage! And in the middle of their high school projects. Didn't your mothers ever teach you to wait your turns?" Eternal quipped angrily.
“Who's the slut next to you?” one of the guys called out making Sunset blush and get angry at the same time.
“Excuse me!?” She yelled, stomping one of her feet onto the floor
"You realize that you’re all surrounded right?” he boasted. Why don’t you make this easy on us and turn yourselves in, before things get ugly?”
"More goons… more pleasure for me to take out my anger… especially after you called my girlfriend a "slut," as you put it… and BEATING UP ON A KID!!!" Eternal shouted.
"The feeling's mutual. No one calls me a slut and gets away with it! Especially not a group of limp dicks like you crusty old freaks," Sunset said with a scary smile on her face, cracking her knuckles in addition.
As most of the goons cocked their guns, Sunset and Eternal leaped into action and started fighting them off one by one. Some of the goons shot their weapons at the couple, but missed every shot with their evasive maneuvers. Sunset grabbed one of the goons, then drop kicked him in the groin, punched him in the gut, then the chin, knocking him out… along with a few teeth loose.
Eternal, on the other hand, knocked a few of them out and left them with bloody noses and mouths, even twitching from the hard blows.
"How the hell are these two freaks beating us?!" goon #1 asked in frustration.
"Just keep shooting, you idiot!!!" goon #2 shouted, firing his pistol.
Goon #1 went after Sunset with his crowbar and took a swing at her, but she dodged with a backflip and swept his feet, then kicked him in the ribs. He grunted in pain, hitting the hard ground with an audible thud. She jumped at Goon #2 and latched around his neck with her legs and did a backwards somersault, slamming him into the ground and knocking him out.
“You fucking bastards are really starting to piss me of,” one of htem yelled as they took out an assault rifle and aimed at directly at Sunset and Eternal.
“Oh crap!” Sunset eeped, seeing the weapons trained on her and her boyfriend.
"GANG WAY!!!" Eternal shouted. The goon then pulled the trigger and a spray of bullets was aimed at them. Both of them dodged out of the way and the bullets ended up shooting the car. Twilight screamed as she kept her head down as gunfire whizzed passed her and her boyfriend Heat Blitz.
“Twilight! Heat Blitz!” Sunset shouted, as she glared at the one guy who fired at them. “Are you insa-!” She didn’t get to finish what was going to say when she saw the barrel of the gun that was still hot with the magazine that was just fired from it.
“You cost us a big day you bitch,” he threatened. “You cost us our cash, you invade our territory, and make a mockery of our gang, now you’re gonna pay for it.”
“Sunset!” Eternal yelled as he tried to get closer, only for the guy to cock his gun in Sunset face.
“Make a move, her face will have a new hole,” he threatened, making Eternal back off.
"You… fucking… son of a bitch, I OUGHTA--" Eternal said.
"No! Eternal! It's not worth it!" she cut him off, then turned to her captor. "Look, maybe we can work something out… like… a payment plan. I'll do anything to resolve this… anything!"
The goon was annoyed but looked at Sunset, mainly at her rather large chest. Just then, the guy got this creepy smile on his face. "Anything?"
Sunset found where his eyes were directed and gave a disgusted sigh. "Yes… anything."
"Don't… you… dare!" Eternal threatened, glaring.
"You're in no position to bargain, so shut the fuck up!" the goon said, pointing his gun at Eternal before pointing it back at Sunset. "Now… on the subject of your… deal. I'll gladly let you go free if you… flash your tits… and live the rest of your life as our personal fuck toy… or at least until you're too old."
Just then, Eternal got so mad that without even realizing it, he spun a web at the goon's weapon, surprising both him and Eternal. He didn't know how it happened, but without even thinking, he tried yanking on the web line to get it off, but ultimately disarmed the goon. Sunset was flabbergasted at first, but took this chance to sock the goon in the face, making him fall to the ground hard, knocked out.
“Sexist asshole,” she grumbled to herself as she joined her lover. “How did you do that?”
"I… I don't even know myself!" Eternal replied, still shocked as he looked at his wrist, seeing a small strand of webbing on his wrist. But then he shook his head when he realized… "But that's not important! We have to check on Twilight and Heat to see if they're okay!"
“Oh right,” Sunset said as they checked on the car, that was now riddled with bullet holes. Even having a broken window and windshield. “You think your mom and aunt will notice the damage?”
"Not a chance, even if they were paid to not notice. But telling them the truth about how there's a hole in the window… I propose there'll be an… 85% certainty they'll go easy on us," Eternal said before gulping.
“Twilight, Heat Blitz, are you okay?” Sunset asked as she looked inside.
“Sunset, Eternal,”Twilight said with a smile. “That is one experience I never want to go through ever again.I’m glad you’re at least okay though.”
“Ugh… wha… where am I?' Heat asked as he got up. "Wait… why are we in the car?"
"We… got jumped earlier and you were knocked out. Does… does it hurt anywhere, Heat? Are you bleeding anywhere?" Twilight asked, checking his body.
“Other than head trauma, a bruised eye and ego, no I’m fine,” he said but he then noticed sparks from behind her. “Isn’t that your laptop?” Twilight heard his words and looked behind her.
“Ah, my laptop! Our project!” she freaked out and began having a panic attack seeing all of her work destroyed thanks to one bad night. “All that work flushed down the drain!”
“Guys I’m so sorry, had I not suggested to come out here, none of this would’ve happened,” Sunset told them.
“What the hell happened to our car?” Heat Blitz added, not noticing the damaged windshield, windows, and bullet holes in the car.
"Gang attack. We were followed. Twilight, is your laptop hard drive still operational?" Sunset asked, hoping to at least help her out a bit.
"Uh… I don't know," Twilight replied, looking at her busted up laptop.
"Alright, well look, we'll have a look at your laptop when we get home. In the meantime… I'm gonna make a call," Sunset replied before getting out her cell phone and dialing the police. “We should probably get you a paramedic as well Heat, we don’t know what kind of damage you took from that blow to the head.”
Within minutes after the call was made, the authorities arrived with multiple patrol vehicles to arrest the goons and confiscated their drugs and the large wad of cash… with marked bills. The paramedics also came by to check on Heat's condition. It came as no surprise that Celestia and Luna came by after the cops alerted them about the incident. Needless to say when they saw what happened and heard about what happened, they were furious. Not necessarily about the car, since Celestia had plenty of insurance saved on the car. They were mostly furious at Eternal for not watching his brother close enough to prevent his hostage situation from happening and possibly scarred him for life.
"I'm sorry, okay! If I had known there was gonna be a drug deal taking place, I never would've brought him here! The place looked empty enough and I did say we would keep a close watch on them!" Eternal tried to argue.
“And what about Twilight and Heat Blitz?” Celestia yelled “they were in the car when it got riddled with bullets, and you weren’t there!!”
"If I started the engine, they'd box us in and we'd ALL be swiss cheese! Do you have any idea how limited our choices were? This was the only choice we had left! We either fought them off or take a one-way trip to heaven! And I'm NOT ready to die just yet!" Eternal argued back.
"Celestia, please understand! We did our best to make sure none of us got killed, especially Twilight and Heat and they're still alive! Yes, we should've looked out for them better, but we didn't know their school project would be on the same date as the drug deal! If we'd known or looked better, we would've left the place right away!" Sunset added. Celestia opened her mouth to say something, but didn’t speak. She was still pretty frustrated at the fact of what happened tonight, but she was happy that her sons and their lovers were safe. She let out a sigh and looked at him.
“I know, I just don’t want to lose either of you. After what happened to their father, I… I couldn't live with myself if my own flesh and blood suffered the same fate as he did. I'm… sorry… but worrying about your safety is part of being a mother. But the important thing now… is that you're all safe." she replied, unable to hold her tears back before hugging Eternal. Yes, even Sunset was included. “I want you to live a happy life but situations like this always make me worry about the both of you.”
“We know mom,” Eternal added, hugging his mother back. “Sorry for scaring you like that.”
“It’s okay,” she added. Around this time, Shining armor walked over to everyone.
“Is everyone alright?” Shining armor asked, checking on the group.
“We’re fine,” Sunset replied.
“I’m glad, I’ll be taking over from here,” he added. He then turned to Twilight who was still distraught about her ruined laptop. “Twilight are you alright?”
"I'm fine… but Heat and I can kiss our project goodbye now that my laptop's kaput! All that hard work for nothing," Twilight sulked.
"No need to worry, Twily. I can take care of that for you. This way, you'll have an excuse for why your project is late," Shining said, offering to take her laptop.
"Uh… you sure? Because, I'm not sure if my teachers'll believe me," Twilight said, nervously.
"I can cover for you, Twilight. Maybe permit your teacher to give you an extension on your project
“Thank you Principal Celestia,” Twilight said as she turned towards the paramedics that were taking Heat into the ambulance. He had some bandages around his forehead that covered his left eye as well. “Is Heat Blitz gonna be alright?”
“The paramedics said that he took a nasty hit, but he doesn’ have any internal injuries,” Shining explained. “He should be fine after a few days.”
“Thank you Shining,” Celestia said. “I’ve also called a tow truck to pick up our car, we can take our car back home.”
“That’s good to hear,” Twilight said as she hoped for the best for him.
"Alright then. You guys be safe out there and make sure not get jumped by anymore of those nasty freaks on the way home. Would you like me to have a police car parked outside in case you're suddenly followed?" Shining asked.
“That would be nice,” Celestia added.
"Got it," Shining nodded. He turned to the cops then whistled for their attention. "Hey, I'm gonna need one of you guys to watch the family overnight in case more suspects follow them. Anyone who's available, give them a police escort." Two officers walked forward and gave Shining the salute to aid them. "Good. Now you're all taken care of. Take care now."
"Thank you, Shining. You've done so much for us, we really appreciate it,"
“Hey, long as you’re taking care of my sister, you’re all good friends to me,” he added with a friendly smile. Celestia smiled happily before she, her sister. The girls and her boys all climb into her other car and then drive back to her home. Alongside them, the police officers followed close behind. Let's hope that tonight, they can sleep peacefully and avoid anymore action than they can handle.
Author's Note
And another chapter to Web warriors has been added. I want to try and make the powers for each of them unique and be more surprises later down the road. Credit goes to my friend Israel Yabuki for the amazing setup as well. Hope to continue more of this series later down the road.
Web Warriors of Canterlot City
While the two sisters finally made it back to the house safe and sound and having some kind police watch the house, Celestia still felt unnerved about the whole situation that her own boys and their girlfriends were put through. As soon as they were inside, Celestia told everyone to sit on the couch. Sunset and Eternal looked pretty nervous about what was going to happen, while Twilight was still trying to salvage what was left of her laptop. Heat had an ice pack over his left eye as he was still recovering from the fight.
"Now, I know you had to do what you two thought was right, but still… I have to ask… how were you two able to even fight off that many thugs?" Celestia asked, trying to not freak out again.
"Yes, it's clear you're hiding something and we only want to know so that we can understand, not punish you," Luna added. Eternal nodded and Sunset looked down, feeling a bit guilty.
"Okay, you win. But if we told you the truth, you wouldn't believe a word of it if we told you," Sunset pointed out. Celestia shook her head left and right. Luna also did the same before explaining themselves.
"After all the events that have taken place in this school year, between raging she-demons, magical sirens and evil forest entities, nothing is hard to believe anymore," Celestia assured.
“So try us,” Luna followed up.
"Okay then… here it is," Sunset then cleared her throat. "It all started during our trip to Filthy Rich's company. I… convinced Eternal to come with me to the spider research exhibit. There was this… accident that had everyone evacuate, but a couple of spiders that made their way out by hitching a ride on us, bit the both of us on the hand, and well...you know the rest…"
Celestia looked shocked… and somewhat infuriated. "You wandered off by yourselves without my authorization?" she asked, crossed.
"I'm sorry, Celestia. I just… wanted to look around a little! I will admit, I was wrong to wander off and drag Eternal into it, knowing full well he was against the idea. But just… hear me out before you flip out some more." Sunset said, putting her hands up defensively. Celestia's mad expression still remained, but it wasn't as intense. "After the spiders bit both of us, Eternal drove us back to my house, we rested and then… the next day, our bodies… they became like this and I couldn't fit in any of my old clothes."
"Same here, my new body tore up my clothes. We called in Rarity to help make us a new wardrobe, which she did, but… due to having seen us in our… birthday suits, she wound up fainting after the whole mess." Eternal added. Celestia and Luna were both shocked and had noticeable blush.
"I… I see. D-Don't tell me you--" Luna almost jumped to conclusions.
"No, I made it clear to Rarity that she didn't try anything with Eternal, I even stayed in the same room with him for reassurance. So anyways, after getting our new wardrobe, I decided to go and pick up some lunch for me and Eternal. And of course… I got sexually harassed, but kicked the creep's ass," Sunset went on.
"And while she was getting us lunch, I carried Rarity home to her shop. But… when I got there, I caught the scent of blood and stumbled upon a burglary in progress. The jerks planned to rob Rarity's shop and then kill her and her family so no witnesses could be found. And they were about to… have their way with Rarity's mother. But I acted on instinct and attacked each of them and subdued them before calling the police." Eternal said from his perspective.
"And after that, we told the police what happened, ate lunch and then headed back home, but wound up being followed by a couple of goons who were obviously working for someone. We took them down as well, but now that forced us into hiding. You… already know about the dinner we had with you, so later on, we took Heat and Twilight to the abandoned warehouse where they could work on their projects,"
“But you already know the rest with how well that turned out,” Eternal followed up while looking at Twilight's shot up laptop. "However… the thing we didn't tell you… was how we saved both Heat and Twilight and stopped the bad guys. Well… Sunset had a theory that we might have similar attributes to the spiders that bit us and… she was correct. Watch," Eternal instructed.
He then walked over to a bare wall of the house, proceeding to climb up it like a spider. Luna and Celestia watched with shock and awe that their son/nephew is demonstrating a hint of his spider powers before safely climbing down.
"Not only that, but I also spun a web… at one of the thugs, but I don't know how I did it,” Eternal followed up. "Maybe it was some kind of hand gesture, but I can't remember." he made different kinds of hand signs and without even thinking, he made one particular hand sign with his middle and ring finger pressing against his palm while his thumb, pinky and index finger were extended outwards… which triggered the webbing and… ultimately hit Celestia square in the face. Celestia let out a muffled groan as she staggered back when the webbing hit her in the mouth.
"Uh-oh… Twilight… Now would be a good time to…" Heat said, slightly terrified.
"I hear you," Twilight replied, sharing his fear before they ran up Heat's bedroom. Sunset backed up as Celestia glared at her son, pulling the web off her face. Luna snickered a little from seeing the web facial her sister got.
"Uh… oops?" Eternal shrugged, chuckling nervously. Celestia's face turned red with anger. "Okay, look that was
"Oh no you don't!" Celestia yelled before Luna intervened.
"Now, now, sister. He didn't mean it. After all, that was a good look for you," Luna giggled. Celestia wanted to blow her top off right now. "Wait, before you explode, perhaps some cake will help calm your nerves. You love cake after all."
The angry principal's temper then slowly faded and sighed in defeat. "I suppose one slice of cake wouldn't hurt."
"Sister, if you had the chance, you'd eat out an entire bakery," Luna joked.
"Would not!" Tia scoffed.
"Would too!" Lulu teased.
-Eternal’s Bedroom-
“Well,” Sunset said as she sat down on the bed. “The past two days have been pretty eventful to say the least.”
"Two? We barely got our powers yesterday," Eternal corrected.
“Come on, we can crawl like a spider, you’re able to shoot webs, we fought off at least several thugs,” Sunset said with a smile. “We’re practically untouchable.”
“You can’t be sure about that,” Eternal added. “We aren’t sure who hired those guys and I feel the closer we get to their boss the more he’ll want our heads later.”
“I hate it when you’re right,” Sunset said with a sigh. “Still I feel really bad for getting Twilight’s laptop shot. There’s gotta be some way I can repay her for what happened.”
“I’m sure we’ll figure something out,” Eternal assured.
“Yeah, well I need to lie down after today,” Sunset added with a sigh. “You got any spare sleeping bags or anything?”
“Actually, maybe you and I could share a bed?”
"Uh… r-r-really? Won't your mom get mad?"
"Sunset, worst case scenario, she'll probably just embarrass us to death with thoughts of us getting down and dirty overnight," Eternal said.
“Probably,” Sunset said with a sigh. "If you insist, I'll sleep with you tonight. Just gotta change out of my day clothes."
"Alright. I'll go ahead and give you some privacy," Eternal then left his room and closed the door to let Sunset do her business.
“Okay, you can come on,” she said after she was done. He walked back in and saw his lady in a purple tank top that was unable to cover her belly button and had on black panties. “What, is something wrong?”
"N-No, it's just that… you look so… beautiful… and cute," Eternal blushed, seeing her flawless figure like this.
“Look if you’re uncomfortable-” Sunset blushed, covering herself a little.
“No, it’s fine. I like you just fine the way you are. I was just… surprised by how gorgeous you looked just now," Eternal assured.
"T...Thanks, that's… real sweet of you." she replied, flicking some of her hair out of her face. "So, anyways… shall we… head to bed then?"
"Yeah… we've had… a long day today," Eternal nodded. Both him and Sunset get into his bed and begin snuggling under the covers. He leaned in and gave her a kiss on the cheek and whispered in her ear. "Goodnight, babe. Love you."
"I love you too, babe. Goodnight," she whispered back before snuggling in her boyfriend's arms safe and sound, making cute snoring sounds.
-Heat’s Bedroom-
“All my work….down the toilet…” Twilight said, still in shock at the damage her laptop was in.
"I'm sorry, Twilight. If we had all been extra careful, then maybe we could've saved our work. But now I guess we'll have to salvage the thing for parts," Heat said, hugging his girlfriend.
“How’re we gonna explain how my laptop was practically shot at when we were dealing with deranged bandits?”
"My mom and aunt can probably vouch for our teacher and tell them what happened, so... " Heat paused when he realized something, "Hey, wait a minute! Twilight, do you still have your laptop with you?"
“Yeah, but I was planning on trashing it soon, why?” she asked.
"Don't do that yet! I need to check your laptop first," Heat said. He took Twilight’s laptop form her and went to his dresser and took out his toolkit. Taking out a screwdriver, he turned it over and opened up her laptop. After opening it up, he smirks and takes out the one thing that was still intact. Her hard drive. "BINGO!!! Twilight, it looks like we're getting that passing grade after all." he said happily, waving her hard drive in his hand.
Twilight gasped as her eyes twinkled adorkably and a huge smile dawned on her face. "HEAT BLITZ, YOU'RE A LIFESAVER!!!" she shouted.
“If anything, I think we just got lucky,” Heat added. “If it was a few inches closer, your hard drive would’ve been history.”
“Yeah, but how am I gonna afford a new laptop?” Twilight added with a worried tone. “My dad’s been behind on his job for awhile, and my mom is still doing what she can for our house.”
"Uh… good point. And I hardly have enough in my allowance jar for the right laptop model," Heat said, slumping down on the bed. "I guess I didn't plan that far ahead."
“I know they both worked very hard to get the laptop that’s now riddled with bullet holes, but now it’s destroyed.”
“I’m sure we can figure something out,” Heat added with a sigh. “But for now, I think we should hit the hay, I’ve had enough excitement for one day.”
"Yeah, me too. I'll go ahead and get some blankets and head downstairs," Twilight said, getting up and ready to leave.
"No, wait. You can sleep in my bed if you want. You're a guest in my home, so it's only fair you get to sleep comfortably," Heat insisted.
"I can't do that. Those jerks hurt you, remember?!" Twilight said.
"Okay, how about this… we can both sleep in my room. It's been too long a day and we deserve a little break.”
“Um, wouldn’t you mom, react a little...I don’t know… bad?”
"You know my mom better than anyone, she'd never be upset with us because I'm her most trusted son and you're her star student. That and she knows we'd never try anything "improper" when we're alone." Heat explained. "So, what do you say?"
“I guess,” she said blushing.
"Alright then. I'm gonna step out so you can change," Heat said before leaving his bedroom and closing the door. Heat waited a little while until…
"Okay, Heat, you can come in now," Twilight called out. Heat walked in and there, he saw Twilight, sitting on his bed in her cute cream yellow pajamas with pink hearts. He blushed a little from seeing her in those.
"Wow… y-you look so… cute in those pajamas," he stuttered hesitantly.
"Uh… thanks," she giggled nervously.
-Next Morning-
Morning soon rolled around the corner as Celestia and Luna were fixing breakfast. The sounds of birds chirping happily outside and the stove was on.
“Boys, Twilight, Sunset, breakfast is ready,” Celestia’s voice called out as she was fixing Ham and Cheese Omelettes with Hash Browns and Sausages.
Luna was stretching her limbs while turning on the TV and then sat herself down, scooting against the dining table. Sunset's boys, along with their girlfriends all got up and came downstairs, still in their sleepwear.
“Morning mom,” Eternal said with a yawn.
“Morning Ms. Celestia,” Twilight yawned, stretching her arms
“Morning,” Celestia said with a smile. “Just wash your hands and enjoy the omelettes. I plan to do some shopping for you both, seeing your new forms after what happened yesterday really threw me for a loop.”
“But we brought up Rarity the other day,” Sunset mentioned.
“I know,” Celestia added. “And doesn’t Rarity run a boutique at the mall?”
“Oh right,”
"I think her general manager, Sassy Saddles, keeps the business running in that boutique," Eternal brought up. “If we're lucky, we might run into her if Rarity stopped by there.”
"Good idea. So, after breakfast, I would like for you two to brush your teeth and get dressed so we can head out later, okay?" Celestia said. “You’ll need new clothes when you go to school tomorrow.
“Okay, you got it,” Sunset said with a smile as they all ate their breakfast. She smiled as she ate Celestia's delicious home-cooking. "So good." she said after gulping down a bite.
Eternal chuckled. "That was cute," he said. Having made Sunset glare at him with her cheeks puffed up and pouty, he chuckled some more and kept eating his meal. While they were eating, Luna flipped to another channel and it was the WWE channel.
"Ugh… this again? What is it with a bunch of muscle-bound meatheads throwing each other around like a bunch of lunatics?" Heat asked, facepalming himself.
"Beats me, but I heard a few WWE wrestlers got into movies," Twilight said.
"Regardless, it looks more like a big-ass street fight for oversized kids," Eternal said.
"Shh, quiet! Look!" Sunset pointed as the commercial went on.
"Are you feeling lucky today?! Do you have the courage to step into the ring? Do you have the guts to step in and take on the reigning CHAMPIONS?!?!?!" the man on the TV asked. The TV then showed two wrestlers. One was a man who looked like an older version of Bulk Biceps, but with a beard and had longer hair. The other was a woman with purple grape-colored skin, turquoise eyes and hot pink hair.
"You… have got to be kidding me," Sunset said in disgust.
"If so, then come on down to the Canterlot Stadium! TONIGHT at 8PM sharp to sign up! And whichever tag team takes down the reigning champions will win a grand prize of $3,000!!!" the man shouted excitedly.
Just then, Twilight's eyes lit up like the twinkling night sky. "THAT'S IT!!! THAT'S THE ANSWER TO OUR PROBLEM!!!" she shouted.
"If we had that prize money, we can get you a new laptop!" Heat said in realization.
"Well, we are out of options for other means of earning money, so perhaps Eternal and I can enter the tournament," Sunset offered.
Eternal was drinking his orange juice until he choked on Sunset's words. "Uh, excuse me?" he asked, thinking he misheard her.
"Uh… I dunno, Sunset. I'm not sure I feel comfortable having you and Eternal use your newfound powers for me,” Twilight brought up.
“Honestly, I'm not exactly too fond of this idea myself either” Celestia said with a stern tone. “I dealt with enough drama last night after that incident with those thugs. I'd rather not have my own son be used as a rag doll for some chump change.”
“Come on Please?” Sunset asked. “I feel really bad for what happened after Twilight’s laptop was destroyed."
"My answer is "no" and that's final! Those wrestling matches are nothing but trouble!" Celestia said sternly again.
"Listen, mom, I know you don't like the idea, but Twilight's laptop is broken. Even if I were to save up my allowance more, it wouldn't matter because our report would be long overdue," Heat tried to reason.
"And I understand, but like I said before, those kinds of sports are dangerous and barbaric. I will find a solution for Twilight's problem somehow, but I will not have my oldest son wrestle. No, that's it. End of discussion," Celestia said sternly to the point where Eternal got annoyed.
Unknowingly, he made the hand sign under the table and spun a web at the ground, frustrated. So, with the whole issue out of the way, he finished his breakfast and got up from his seat. "Thanks for breakfast. I'm gonna go change now," Eternal said before leaving.
"Mom, don't you think you were a bit too hasty?" Heat asked.
"Heat Blitz, your mother has made her decision!" Luna butted in, startling him with her yelling.
"Luna, you don't talk to him that way, I'll handle it," Celestia yelled back. While the two sisters were arguing, Sunset excused herself after finishing her breakfast and went upstairs to check on her lover.
There he was, squeezing the bridge between his eyes. "Hey, babe…" she said hesitantly.
"Hey, Sunset." he replied calmly, but still felt frustrated. Sunset sat next to him, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Sometimes, she just… gets on my nerves." he groaned.
"I know you're upset and so am I. But try to understand from your mother's point of view. She's worried about your well-being, we barely escaped from those bad guys last night, so I'm pretty sure she's still on edge. I know you want to help Twilight, but sometimes…" Sunset paused, trying to come up with the right answer.
"Sunset… if she understood how I felt and had a little more faith in me and my newfound powers, she'd have let me take a shot at this. It's the fastest and only way to get the money for Twilight's laptop." Eternal argued. "Look at us, we've been granted powers for a reason. To not use them just because my family says so would be a waste."
"I understand, babe. But you gotta understand how scared your mother is for you. Both you and your brother are the only kids she has left of your father. She almost lost one of you, imagine how she'd feel if she actually does," Sunset argued.
"I'm stronger now! I'm faster, more agile and can practically do anything a spider can," Eternal, at the mention of the word "spider", jumped to the ceiling, sticking to it like glue. "If she had faith in my powers, she'd be more understanding of what I
"Maybe you forgot…" Sunset said before jumping onto the ceiling with him. "...we're on the same boat here. The only difference between your powers and mine is I can't shoot organic webs like you can. Nor do I have that venomous bite of yours. But I'm still as strong and fast and agile as you. Remember…the wrestling match is a tag-team match."
"And how do you propose we get there?" he said. “From the way my mom was acting, she’s going to expect me to bring the car directly home after we get out of school.”
“You have your webs don't you?” she added. “You can probably use them to hop and swing from rooftop to rooftop.”
“Yeah, but you don’t have that means of travel,” he told her.
“What, you can’t carry me?” sunset pouted. “I can piggy back off you and we can be back before your mom has a chance to figure out what’s going on.”
"Hmm… you know… that's not a bad idea. But the other question remains: where are we gonna get our suits?
"Well… you got a lot of clothes you hardly wear anymore, try that," Sunset said. "I'll see if I can find any clothes of mine I can use for a wrestling outfit."
“Well what about me?” Sunset asked. “I’d rather not give your mom a heart attack knowing that I was on TV.”
"Hmm… You can borrow some of my own clothes. I think my old size can probably fit you," Eternal said.
“Okay,” she said with a smile. “Let’s see what we have then,”
After talking it over, Eternal went and closed and locked his bedroom door so his mom wouldn't peek in and then began looking through all of his clothes. Both from his closet and his drawers. Needless to say, they were making quite the mess. One that Eternal would eventually have to clean up afterwards.
Soon, Eternal stumbled upon an old grey, long-sleeved shirt and an orange tank top he got from a couple of years ago." Hey, I found some tops that we can use.”
“Okay, but we can’t exactly have them blank,” sunset told him. “What can we do about that?”
Eternal thought about it for a bit until he remembered some of the tools that he keeps under his beds. He goes around to check where his bed is, and pulls out a box. He then opens the box to take out some spray cans.
“These can take care of that,” he told her. “Got an idea what you want your spider symbol to look like and what color?”
“Well since it’s an orange top, I’d like a yellow spider symbol,” she told him. “Plus I’ll be the one to paint it, I'm more careful with the paint.”
“Do what you want babe,” he told her with a smile. “I have some ideas for my setup as well.” Eternal then set his outfit aside on his pillow before folding up some of his clothes and putting them away while hanging up the rest. Afterwards, Eternal got out a notebook and began drawing up a symbol for his wrestling outfit.
He then gave Sunset his notebook so she could draw up her own symbol for her costume. As soon as both of them finished, Sunset took some scissors from Eternal's home desk and cut out the symbols before placing them on each of their outfits.
"Babe, I'm gonna need you to hold it for me while I get the spray paint." she said. Eternal happily obliged and held their designs together before Sunset worked her magic. Some of the paint got on Eternal's hands, but it was easily removable with coconut oil and washable.
Moments later… their outfits were complete. Now they just had to get rid of the excess paint from their skin. So, they exit out of his room and quietly walk downstairs. Luck was on their side when they found that Celestia and Luna weren't downstairs, nor were Heat and Twilight. They must've gone upstairs while they were busy or maybe left the house to go do something.
“Where’d everyone go?” Sunset asked as she and Eternal walked around.
“Don't know,” he added. As he looked around, he saw what looked to be a note on the counter top.
“Dear Eternal,
We left to go and find a new laptop for Twilight that’s compatible with her hard drive, and we’re also having a guest come over to talk to everyone about the upcoming trial in about two weeks, and other things,
Love, Celestia.”
“Looks like mom and aunt left with Twilight and Heat to find a new laptop for her,” Eternal added.
Eternal seized this opportunity to grab the coconut oil from one of the cupboards. The young couple drenched their hands in the stuff, making sure they got all the areas. Once it was time, they washed their hands and BOOM, no more spray paint on their skin.
"Okay, so now what do we do?" Sunset asked.
"Now… we wait. And just so you know… I've had little to no practice with… swinging," Eternal quietly whispered that last part to Sunset.
“Neither do I, and I can’t spin webs like you can,” she said in annoyance. “I guess I can experiment with my claws and new found agility.”
"Alright. Follow me to the backyard. There's plenty of space," Eternal said.
“Sweet,” she said with a smile. After that, she followed her boyfriend, Eternal out towards the backyard, which was so huge, you could fit a big pool out here and host a potluck at the same time, too. The Backyard is like a large square. Trees on each corner and a very grassy yard with a wooden bench on the right side. "Wow… I remember this place used to be a lot bigger when we were little."
"Yeah, but what can you do? We all gotta grow up eventually," Eternal said. "Now then, let's get to practicing, shall we?"
Sunset's confident smirk said it all and soon, she started things off by running a few laps around the yard. The more she ran, the more her speed increased. But then, she almost crashed right into the fence and without even thinking, she jumped and placed her hands on the fence, pushing herself backwards in the air, doing a double backflip.
“Woah, that was a rush,” she said with a smile. “I didn’t think that I’d run or move that fast.”
"You're way more acrobatic than before," Eternal commented.
"Hmm… I wonder what else I can do," Sunset said, looking over at one of the trees in the corner outside of the backyard. With her smirk lighting up even more, she backed up a little and then ran off towards the tree and then jumped, landing against the fence, but catapulted herself onto the tree trunk. "WOO-HOO-HOO!!! Check me out, babe!"
"Looking good, but… you do realize that sticking to the tree… with your bun-buns showing off from the top is kind of… revealing," Eternal pointed. Sunset blushed and looked behind her and saw her big ass cheeks. He's right and if anyone saw her in this position, she'd be screwed if they got a picture of this.
So, in a haste, she tried to get off the tree trunk. But… she couldn't. Her hands seemed to be stuck to the trunk and was slightly panicking. She pulled and pulled, but couldn't break free. Eternal could tell she needed help. He went over to her and grabbed her hand.
"Alright, Sunset. We're gonna work together on this. Just… relax… and on the count of three, we pull. Ready?" Eternal asked. She nodded. "One… two… three… PULL!" and so he pulled on her wrist while she pulled her hands away from the trunk, but nothing happened. "Damn… Sunset, how can you get stuck on a tree trunk, but not on a fence?"
“How should I know?” she asked in a panic.
"Okay, calm down, no need to snap at me," Eternal said… then suddenly. "Wait… I think I got it. Sunset, think of something that relaxes you. Anything at all. Soft music, a tasty meal, a comfy bed, whatever it takes, think of something that relaxes you."
"Uh… o-o-okay," Sunset nodded. She took in a few deep breaths, closing her eyes as she tried thinking about something soothing. And the first thought that pops into her head… was snuggling with her boyfriend in a warm, cozy bed. Right then and there, her warm smile returned and her hands finally let go of the trunk… only to wind up falling onto her lover, which caused him to fall to the ground.
“Hehe, sorry about that,” Sunset said with a nervous smile. “I’m not even sure why that happened to be honest.”
"Maybe our powers are affected by our emotions, or maybe they're linked somehow." Eternal said, thinking about it. He was about to get up, but when he put his hands on Sunset's hips, she gave a slight moan, making him stop. "What's wrong? Did I hurt you or something?"
"No, I… i don't hurt that easily," Sunset said as she got up herself. She stretched herself and Eternal watched her, trying to figure out why she moaned like that. "I don't know, babe, it's like my entire body just… jolted from a single touch. I'm not sure why, but I think it was from when you touched me. Did, uh… did you… by any chance, squeeze me a tiny bit?"
"Not too tightly, I hope. Why?" Eternal said.
"I think the added force in your grips on my hips kinda triggered something inside of me. I don’t think I've ever felt that happen to me before.”
"Must be some newly added feature to your… transformation. Let's uh… “ Sunset didn’t even give Eternal a chance to speak as she went for his groin, cupping it in response to see if there was a similar reaction. He jolted in response and let out a light moan himself.
“Wh-why’d you do that?” he asked as to why Sunset ust did that.
“What? I wanted to see if it was just affecting me or not,” she shrugged. “Plus you did grope me earlier after you saw up my skirt.”
"That was for when you tried to feed me that churro! Do you realize how hard it was to chomp down on that thing? I almost broke my teeth, it was like eating a crowbar," Eternal said.
“Come on, I said I was sorry,” she teased as she let go. “Besides, it’s not fair if I get flustered.”
Eternal looked down and saw his bulge as well and blushed deeply. "Uh… we may… n-n-never speak of this to anyone, okay?" He extended his hand to his girlfriend to call a truce. And Sunset just nodded and went over to her boyfriend, hugging him.
Some time passed and Sunset and Eternal were now back inside the house, watching TV and trying to think of something to do with the prize money. They couldn't just show up with a brand new laptop with some mysterious money they somehow "came across," because they'd be found out by Celestia and Luna.
“Okay, so if our folks can’t find a laptop for Twilight's hard drive, how’re we gonna explain when we get a new one if we get the prize money?” Sunset asked Eternal.
"Good question. We don't really have a lot of options here, so…" Eternal paused for a bit and then went off the tip of his tongue. "What if… after we buy the laptop she needs… we could always say we… ran into Mr. Filthy Rich and he maybe offered to buy it for us." Eternal said.
“Is your mom really gonna buy that lie?” Sunset added with a dull stare.
"Probably not, but maybe if we gave him what's left of the money as a way to… have him play along with our cover story." Eternal said before realizing… "No, that's a stupid idea. He's much too honest. And we can't even do odd jobs either. They don't pay enough," Eternal said.
“There’s also the fact that-” Sunset was cut off when they heard the front door open.
“Sunset! Eternal! We’re back!” That was Heat Blitz called out walking in..
“Hey guys, how'd it go?” Sunset followed up as she and Eternal got up from their seats and met with whoever was at the front door. They walked up to not only just see Twilight, Heat, Celestia and Luna there. Twilight’s parents, Shining Armor, Spike, Flurry Heart, and Dean Cadance were also here as well.
“Hey everyone,” Sunset said with a friendly smile. “Oh and Flurry’s here.”
“Hi Ms Sunset,” she said with a smile on her face.
‘Why is she so cute?’ Sunset thought to herself.
“It’s good to see you Eternal. Same to you Sunset,” Twilight Velvet said with a smile on her face.
“Hi Ms. Velvet,” Sunset said with a smile.
"Hmm? I didn't know we'd have company over. What's the occasion?" Eternal asked.
"We ran into them after we browsed through every store that sold computers. And… unfortunately, we couldn't find any laptops that were compatible with Twilight's hard drive," Celestia explained.
"So we went to the tech support guys and explained our situation, and they said that the laptop that we’re looking for won’t be shipped for another three weeks,” Heat followed up.
“Oh man,” Sunset said with a sigh. “That must've been a nightmare.
"Did you find any laptops you could get next day delivery? Maybe ones online?" Eternal asked.
"Yes, but… it was too expensive. $650. And none of us had the proper funds to make that kind of purchase," Luna stated.
"Blast!" Eternal said in frustration, making sure not to cuss in front of the baby. "And graduation day is in 4 days. What do we do now?"
"We'll worry about that later. For now, Shining has something he wants to say to all of us. And it's in our best interest to hear what's up," Celestia said.
"O-Okay," Sunset said. After everyone was inside and the door closed, Eternal turned off the TV and everyone else took a seat on the couch. However, Heat sat far away from Night Light, since he was still shook up from when he almost shot at him. Night still felt guilty and couldn't look at him, mostly out of shame for himself.
“So what’s new?” Eternal asked.
“Well, I’ve got good news and bad news,” Shining explained.
“What's the bad news?" Sunset asked.
“Well as far as bad news goes, they’re pretty much keeping quiet about who hired them and they won’t give up a name,” Shining explained. “When I asked them why, there was one of them that was sweating bullets. They won’t tell us who hired them to go after you at the beginning.”
“Great…” Sunset said in annoyance. “So what's the good news?”
“If you all can come to testify in a few days, we can make sure that the ones’ that attacked you and your friends, can be put away for life,” Shining added. “I even talked to Rarity and her family about the same setup. They plan to testify in a few days as well.”
“Guess that’s a good thing,” Sunset added with a smile.
"I also wanted to go over what happened last night, recently. It seems like the guys who were making an illegal trade are actually members of a dangerous gang. Two of them had a devil-ish ram tattoo on their backs, meaning they were one of the higher-ups. You're lucky you didn't get shot by any of these guys, they're bad news. And I doubt their boss is gonna sit around and let them squeal. Can I trust you guys to testify about the stuff that went on there?" Shining asked.
"Sure. We'll do what we can," Eternal nodded.
"Same with me and Twilight," Heat agreed.
"I won't let this hold me back," Twilight also agreed.
"Thank you. Now, Celestia… if you don't mind, I'd like to talk with your oldest son and Sunset alone, if that's alright." Shining said.
“What about?” Celestia asked.
"Just a little… coming-of-age talk, if it's alright. They've done a lot for me and my family… especially my little sister." Shining clarified.
"Hmm… well, okay. I suppose it couldn't hurt." Celestia approved.
“Okay,” Shining said as he walked over to Sunset and Eternal. “Is there any place where we can talk in private?”
“We can try my room,” Eternal mentioned.
"Alright, lead the way," Shining shrugged. The eldest son led the police captain upstairs to his bedroom with Sunset following close behind, leaving the rest of the families downstairs. After arriving, Shining closed the door and cleared his throat. "Alright, you two. Have a seat."
The young couple do so, but are confused. "Shining? What's going on? Are we in trouble?"
"No, you're not in trouble. But… I did hear from Celestia that… you two wanted to help pay for Twilight's laptop using some prize money from a wrestling match. The only problem is… she doesn't approve, right?" Shining asked.
“She told you?” Sunset asked, a little nervous.
"Yeah. But… I'm a different case." Shining began. "You see, guys… you're about to reach that age where you're gonna wind up making choices that'll change you into the type of man and woman you'll become for the rest of your lives. But every choice has a consequence as well as a reward. You just gotta be careful with how you'll make these choices. Sometimes, you'll wind up making mistakes or the wrong judgement call. But it's still up to you to make up for any mistakes you might make… because that's what being an adult is all about. And you two are… how old?"
"I'll be 18 on Thursday," Eternal confirmed.
"I'm already 18," Sunset said.
"Okay, well since you're technically an adult, you gotta pay attention to the choices you make. And Eternal… you'll have to be prepared for whatever life throws at you. And sometimes, you'll either have to handle problems on your own or as a team with your family and friends and I can tell that you two have this spark that's ready to shine from within you. A very powerful spark. But always remember this: With great power… comes great responsibility," Shining finished.
“So that’s your big talk with us?” Sunset asked, confused.
“Yeah, seeing as you’ll be making your own choices one day,” Shining added with a smile as he walked up to shake both of their hands. “Good talk you two.”
“Um… thanks for the advice Shining Armor,” Sunset added.
“Okay, I’ll be heading out, and make sure you keep my sister safe alright?” Shining added as he walked out of their room, leaving both Sunset and Eternal alone.
“Okay, that was awkward,” Eternal added as he and Sunset looked at each other. “I was expecting him to yell at us or something.”
“Same,” Sunset followed up. “We’re gonna have to come clean after we win the tag team match.”
Author's Note
Had fun with this chapter, and credit goes to Israel Yabuki for the setup of the chapter.
Web Warriors of Canterlot City
It was close to night time now and Sunset and Eternal had packed their outfits, ready to head out and collect that prize money. Eternal peeked out his window to make sure his mom, or aunt, or even his brother weren't there. It seemed everyone was downstairs at the moment, so they haven't lost their window of opportunity.
He closed his door slowly and quietly and turned to Sunset. "The coast is clear. Now's our chance to swing on outta here," he whispered.
“Okay, are you ready for this?” she said with a smile.
"Ready as I'll ever be," Eternal nodded. The young Rambo kneeled down a little so Sunset could climb onto his back. She does just that with their suits in hand. Eternal stood up and opened up the window before stepping back a little. He shoots two web lines, one on each side of the window frame. He pulls back and looks over his shoulder. "Hold on tight." He warned before looking at their escape route, "CATAPULT… LAUNCH!" he yelled as he flung straight out of the room and out of the house.
He had flung quite a distance and then jumped from rooftop to rooftop, hoping to get to the city faster and then swing over to the stadium. "Are you holding on alright?" He asked his girlfriend.
"Just fine! Thanks for the warning!" Sunset assured him confidently. Sunset wanted to shout out loud from how exciting this felt for her. However, she'd rather not attract any attention to herself or her boyfriend. The rest of their swinging trip went by quietly before reaching the city and landing in an empty alley.
"This should be close enough to the stadium for us to walk the rest of the way. Shall we?" He asked. Sunset chuckled and then climbed to his arm as they walked out into the open. The people who were still out at this hour gave the young couple stares of envy or even proud stares. They did their best to ignore the people and kept on marching towards the stadium.
-Wrestling Ring-
Upon entering the stadium, Sunset and Eternal rushed towards the top row to peek at the competition below. Except it looked more like a massacre as Bone Biceps had one of the unconscious competitors… or victims, in this case, being held above him before throwing him out of the ring. Tempest, on the other hand, had painfully pinned down the other tag teamer and the ref counted to 3, making them the winners once more.
"Damn… that's gotta hurt," Sunset said, shivering a little. "Are you sure we're ready for this?"
"If we don't do this now, we'll have come all this way for nothing. Come on." Eternal then took her over to the locker rooms on one of the lower levels. There, they changed into their wrestling outfits and came out, looking pumped and ready for the fight of the century.
They arrived where all the other wrestlers were and waited their turn. The line was growing smaller real quick and Sunset can only guess the horror that's befalling the other tag teams. Finally, it was their turn.
"Uh… aren't you two a little on the spring chicken side? This ain't no kiddie game you know," the sign-in lady warned.
"We know what we're getting ourselves into right now. We still wanna sign up," Eternal stated.
"Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you. Down the hall to the ramp, may god be with you kids. Next!" She dismissed, With the two signed up, they waited their turn by the ramp. Both of their hearts were pounding and ready to leap out of their chests at any moment.
Suddenly, they heard a crash and some unlucky saps crying out in agony.
"Ooh, you just know that had to hurt! It looks like another victory for our Tag Team Champions, Bone "Saw" Biceps and Tempest "Sinister" Shadow! Now will the next victims please enter the arena! If they can survive just 3 minutes in the cage with the dynamic duo, the sum of $3,000 will go out to…" he pauses before whispering to the two from behind the curtain. "...what's your name, you two?"
"Spider-Man," Eternal said.
"And Spider-Girl," Sunset added.
"Spider-Man and Spider-Girl, huh? Well, it's your funerals," the announcer said. "The sum of $3,000 will go to… the terrifying… the deadly… The Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Girl!" He called out as the curtain finally rose and a light shines down on the couple. Right away, loads of men in the audience whooped and whistled at Sunset's costume. The young couple stepped down the aisle, ignoring the many cat calls and jeers. Both of them soon leaped into the ring without touching the ropes.
“I hope we can wrap this up,” Sunset followed up. “The constant catcalling is getting ridiculous.”
“You’re not the only one,” Eternal followed up, trying to drown out the jeers from the rest of the crowd.
"Aww, don't worry about that, little man. You won't be staying here for long. Because Bone Biceps is gonna send you back to your mama… IN A BODY BAG!!!" Bone said, all cocky.
"Looks like that leaves just you and me, Boobs McKenzie," Tempest said, grinning at Sunset sinisterly.
“Excuse you?” she said with a glare on her face.
"This guy's a total meathead. I can see the resemblance in his son appearance-wise, but they differ in personality. Sorry, Bulk. I gotta pummel your dad." Eternal said.
Right away, the bell rang and right away, Bone charged in like a raging bull and Tempest leaped towards Sunset. The bacon headed beauty took a stance to prepare herself while Eternal dove at Bone's leg, making him trip. Eternal rolled to the side and jumped back to his feet.
Tempest landed on Sunset's shoulders and then locked her legs around her neck. The berry-colored brawler leaned back and slammed Sunset down to the ground, but Sunset wasn't gonna allow her to have the lead. Still pissed at what she called her, Sunset grabbed Tempest's legs, stood up and spun her around in the air. Slowly, her legs were loosening up and before she knew it, she was sent hurdling against the ropes and then onto the mat.
Sunset, however, was dizzy after that and tried to shake it off. As she's doing this, Eternal and Bone tackled each other, but Bone wrapped one of his arms around Eternal's neck and slammed him down, keeping him in a stranglehold.
"You got some serious balls, little man! Too bad ya didn't train your guns enough! Who knows, maybe after this match is over, I'll show that hot piece of ass of a girlfriend of yours how I REALLY treat a woman." Bone taunted confidently.
Bad move on his part. Before he knew it, Eternal rose up to his feet in anger and slammed Bone against the corner hard, with one big charge. Bone grunted in pain before letting go. He then regrouped with his girlfriend and helped her regain her footing before the two stood their opponents down.
"Let's get something straight here, you fucking assholes. My boyfriend is ten times better than any man in the world and he doesn't treat me like I'm just another pair of tits!" Sunset scolded.
"And anyone who dares to talk about sneaking into my women's pants… IS GONNA PAAAAAAAAY!!!" Eternal shouted in a rage. Soon, both of them charged at the champions. Eternal threw Bone high up and then grabbed his legs before repeatedly slamming him down onto the mat over and over.
Sunset and Tempest were evenly matched at this point. Sunset would have Tempest pinned underneath her and then she'd turn around and pin Sunset. Both power women tackled each other, their boobs squishing against one another as they tried to out muscle the other.
"You've got the moves! I'll give you that much, Boobs McKenzie," Tempest taunted once more.
"Again with the Boobs McKenzie shit! You know what, at least my boobs are bigger than yours," Sunset retorted.
"Fine with me. The bigger they are, the faster they sag when you get older!" Tempest fired back.
"Ugh!!! Well at least I have a man who doesn't care what I look like!" Sunset countered before finally taking the lead. She swipes at Tempest's legs, then while her balance is off, Sunset tosses her right over her shoulder and into Bone Biceps, knocking both champions out.
The crowd goes wild while the ref starts with the count. "ONE… TWO… THREE!" and that was it, the ref ran up to the two new champions, raising their arms up high in the air.
Neither of them could believe their luck. It looks like they're gonna get their friend a new laptop after all.
-Office-
“What do you mean we’re not getting the money?” Sunset asked in annoyance as she was with Eternal. They were both standing in the office of the man who held the contest in confusion as he sat there taking a sip of his coffee.
“You technically didn’t follow the rules,”
“We both won and defeated the Wrestling Couple.” Eternal followed up.
“You only lasted two minutes against the two,” the man in front of them said.
“We won though,that should count for something,” Eternal added in annoyance. “How the hell is this fair?”
“Hey I make the rules, and to be fair you made me lose a bet,” he added as he tossed them only 100 bucks.
“Is this a joke you creep?” Sunset added. “We needed that money to help our friend.”
“Probably should’ve thought of that before you both embarrassed my two top wrestlers,” he snarky remarked. “It’s not my problem.”
“You BASTARD!!” Sunset yelled as she was about to punch him, but she felt her arm held back by her lover Eternal. “What’re you doing?”
this fat piece of shit's not worth it,” he told her. “Let’s just get out of here.”
“Fine,” she said in annoyance, feeling dejected for what happened earlier. They wanted to earn enough for Twilight’s new laptop, and now they can only go back with nothing. As they were about to walk out of the room, Sunset failed to notice the manager looking back at her soft ass.
“You know, I may change my mind,” he said, getting their attention.
“What do you mean?” Sunset asked.
“Maybe if you flash me your tits I might reconsider-” he didn’t get to finish when Sunset grabbed his coffee, which was still hot, and poured it all over his head. He screamed in agony as Eternal and Sunset stormed out of the room.
“God that fucking asshole,” Sunset growled in annoyance. “First he snuffs us and then he does that to me thinking I’m some kind of tramp?”
“It kind of sucks since we came all this way for nothing and all we got was 100 dollars out of it,” he added. “How’re we gonna help Twilight now?”
“I don’t know,” Sunset added with a sigh.
“Btw, pretty funny seeing you dump that coffee all over that guy,” Eternal added. “I would’ve done something worse since I was the one in the room.”
“Shouldn’t have made a comment about me,” she added. “Plus he deserved it.”
"Amen to that," Eternal replied. Well, with a bittersweet victory under their belt, they were about to leave until they heard a commotion in the prize room. There were two individuals arguing inside.
“Give that back you damned thief!” Sunset and Eternal recognized the voice belonging to the same man that they were talking to earlier. There was a man who was holding what looked to be a bag and he was darting off in a hurry. A pair of guards as well as the man that Sunset poured hot coffee on were chasing him. By the looks of things, he was running for the open elevator behind them.
"Hah, looks like fatso got his healthy dose of karma," Eternal grinned.
“Hey, don’t just stand there, stop him,” he yelled out.
Sadly, the cheating fatfuck got no help when the couple stepped to the side with a loud, audible "Oops!" Right when the thief passed them. As that happened, the thief, as he called him, ran for the elevator and made it. He then turned to Sunset and Eternal with a smile.
“Thanks,” the guy who ran towards the elevator said as it closed behind them. The two guards were annoyed and the man that they talked to earlier was furious as he glared at Sunset and Eternal.
“Fucking IDIOTS!,” he yelled at the top of his lungs. “That was the fucking prize money that he just ran off with, why dind’t you stop him?”
“Weren’t your exact words, not my problem?” Sunset snarky reminded the man as they walked away.
"If you had paid us in the right amount and not cheat us, we would've happily taken that punk down for you," Eternal called out.
‘Y-you…”He was fuming as he couldn't think of anything to say. Sunset and Eternal high-fived each other before taking the elevator and watched as he was tearing his hair out in frustration.
After that satisfying fiasco, the two new champions headed back to the locker rooms where they changed into their normal clothes. Afterwards, they exit the stadium, now with another big dilemma.
"Well, we came… won… but only got rewarded with chump change," Eternal said in disappointment.
“Where do you think that one guy went anyway?” Sunset followed up.
"Who knows. If we did run into him at random again, maybe he can work out a deal with us," Eternal shrugged.
“I doubt it,” Sunset followed up. “From what I saw, he was desperate or something. I don’t think we’ll see him again anytime soon.”
"True. Well, we'd better get home before my mom finds out we snuck out. We didn't make much so we can say this money is part of what's left from your paycheck." He explained to her.
“Good idea,” she added as she and Eternal walked around the building and looked around to see if there was anyone watching them. After making sure the coast was clear, they climbed the wall and jumped up onto the roof.
“Okay, I’m gonna swing us home,” Eternal added. He was waiting for her to jump onto his back, but when he felt nothing, he turned around to face her.. “Sunset?”
“Wow,” Sunset said as she looked out at the scenery at night. The entire city was lit up and she smiled watching everything that was playing out. “I’ve never seen the city this bright before.”
"Me either. It's… so beautiful. Like you," He said, turning to face his girl, smiling.
“Charmer,” Sunset teased, as she booped him on the nose. “You know when you turn 18 in a few days we’ll have some fun before the trial of those guys that harassed us,"
"Sounds good to be, my sunshine," Eternal retorted with a boop to her cute little nose. “Alright, we should get out of here.”
She giggled and nodded before following her boyfriend back into the closest alleyway and changing back into their wrestling outfits to hide their identities. Sunset and Eternal both climbed up the walls, reaching the rooftop where Sunset jumped on her lover's back. Eternal went and jumped off the roof and spun his web, swinging back home.
Sunset and Eternal managed to arrive back at the house. He peeked through the window leading into his room. No one was inside, so he crawled inside and slowly closed the window before going to check his bedroom door. It was locked, just like how he left it. He sighed and gave Sunset the thumbs up. She climbed up after him and they both began to change back into their civilian clothes. Sunset then gathered both of their wrestling clothes and folded them neatly before placing them inside a black box and shoving it right under Eternal's bed.
“Well, at least we managed to look cool at the show,” Sunset added.
“You mean when your chest rubbed against that one girl in the ring?” Eternal teased, earning him a punch to the arm.
"Keep that up and I'll leave you blue-balled when we fuck on your 18th birthday," Sunset warned, grinning.
“Okay, I’m sorry,” he added. “I’m just glad that we didn’t get caught.”
"Eternal Flames, Sunset Shimmer, come downstairs for a minute… now," Celestia called out. The guilty party froze up, wondering if maybe they
Sunset and Eternal both exited his room and headed down the hall and down the stairs where Celestia was standing behind the couch, staring at the two with a stern look.
But she wasn't alone. Luna was also there, standing next to her sister. And even Twilight and Heat Blitz were with them. It seemed like they might've figured out the truth as well.
"So… any particular reason why you two were so quiet upstairs in your bedroom? And why was your door locked as well?" Celestia asked, folding her arms.
“Given your teasing nature towards my sister’s son Sunset, it was awfully quiet up there,” Luna added.
Her son and his lover turned to face each other before sighing as they decided to come clean. "Alright, mom. You caught us. Remember how you said we weren't allowed to go to that wrestling match earlier?" Eternal began.
"You mean… this one," Celestia then pulled the TV remote out of her shirt pocket and pointed it at the TV, turning it on and showing the two a recording of the live wrestling competition. Sunset and Eternal blushed as they saw themselves winning the competition as Celestia stared at them with a disappointed look.
Her son let out a defeated sigh. "That's the one."
“Man, how were you able to suplex someone who’s twice your size bro?” Heat added.
"And how did either of you not wind up with any injuries despite being tossed around the ring like a couple of rag dolls?" Twilight asked.
"You're missing the point, you two. Your brother and friend broke the one rule my sister set in place for their own safety" Luna said sternly.
"Please understand, Celestia. We didn't mean to go against you, but we wanted to do our part to help out our friends with their problem. We did it for a good cause," Sunset explained.
"And yet you still broke the one rule. Have you both no shame?" Luna asked sternly.
"We're sorry, aunt Luna. But we couldn't just sit around doing nothing. What kind of friends and brother would we be if we sat idly by and not help out Twilight and Heat?" Eternal asked.
"Bro, I get that you were trying to help, but it's okay. Truth is, even if we didn't get a replacement laptop on time, the school has a surplus of computers which we could borrow so we could show our report." Heat explained.
"He's right. And Celestia did say she would cover for us. So, while you didn't have to wrestle, it means a lot that you tried to help. So, thank you," Twilight added.
Celestia just stood there, listening to every word of their confession before approaching them. "I just want to say how disappointed I am that you two would go behind my back and compete in a dangerous sport. However… to be fair, I understand your motives and I'm glad you decided to come clean about it right away. I won't punish you this time, but I am letting you off with a warning the next time this does happen. Do you understand?" she asked sternly.
"Yes," both replied.
"Good. Now… about the prize money," Celestia mentioned. Sunset then pulled out the $100 bill out of her pocket and showed it to her.
"What the?! That's all?!" she asked in surprise.
"How repulsive! A measly $100? Where's the other $2900?" Luna asked, upset.
"Wasn't the prize supposed to be 3 grand if you somehow survive 3 minutes against the champions or even defeat them?"
“Well, technically we took them out in two minutes,” Sunset followed up.
"But then that fat piece of shit cheated us out of the actual prize. He blames us for making him lose a bet and not lasting the 3 minutes in the ring." Eternal said.
“I see,” Luna added with a sigh.
"What did this guy look like? Other than him being fat?" Celestia asked.
"He had faded green skin, purple-ish blue eyes, messy hair, but was bald on the top and had matching purple-ish blue eyes." Sunset described him. Right away, Celestia's eyes shrunk and she was pissed. Luna also looked shocked and then… Death could be seen in her eyes.
"Oh no he fucking didn't," she mumbled quietly.
“Um, Ms. Celestia?” Sunset asked with a worried look.
"Uh… is there something you're not telling us, mom?" Eternal asked.
"I don't know how to say this… but you got cheated out by my old high school stalker, Sludge.” she said with a sigh, as she pinched the bridge between her nose.
“Wait, they ran into that bastard?” Luna asked in shock. “How’d he get out of prison?”
“Wait what?” Twilight asked. “He was in prison.”
“Yes…he was…” She said with a sigh. “That creep only cared about two things in his worthless life: Money and women. He was even expelled at high school because he tried to rape my sister. But after a little… friendly chat with the fucker and a little "persuading," she paused, punching the palm of her left hand. "I made sure he never tried that shit again."
"Well, apparently he didn't learn his lesson when he tried to get into my girl's pants as a way to get the prize money," Eternal said. The sound of glass shattering was heard and everyone flinched in response. Celestia’s right eye was twitching as she had a look that scared everyone in the room. At that moment… Celestia was now out for blood.
‘Oh no,’ Luna thought as she saw that look in her sister's eye before. She remembered the last time she was angry and nearly broke someone’s skull when he made a comment about her butt.
"Excuse me while I run an errand," she said sweetly, smiling to cover her dark motives. Both lovers were terrified of Celestia and weren't sure if stopping her would be the right call. They weren’t far behind as Twilight, Luna, and Heat were also shuddering at what Celestia might do to Sludge when she sees him again.
“I just hope that she doesn’t go overboard like last time,” she added. “I’d hate to read the paper of my sister being arrested for assault.”
"Or worse, 1st degree murder," Heat shivered in fear.
"Hey, Heaty. I just thought of something," Twilight said. "What if some of our other classmates saw the wrestling match and it becomes the talk of the school? They're gonna instantly recognize Sunset on that stage and assume Eternal was with her that night."
“We had masks on, they wouldn’t be able to recognize us for that,” Sunset added, until she looked down at their figures. “But I know that heads are gonna turn. If the town looked at us funny for this, it makes me wonder how they’re gonna react to this.”
"Yeah… you two might wanna have to watch out for any thirsty and jealous boys and girls when we head back to school." Heat pointed out.
“I can already Imagine Trixie’s reaction when she sees us,” Sunset sighed as she did what Celestia did earlier and pinched the bridge of her nose. “I’m just glad that she has Starlight as a girlfriend.”
“You know what I’m glad for?” Eternal added.
“What?”
“That Timber Spruce won’t be there,” he added.
"Please don't mention that name. It still leaves a bad taste in my mouth," Heat cringed.
“That makes two of us,” Twilight added. “I’m just glad your mom took care of it.”
Speaking of Celestia, she was just coming back from her room, now fully dressed and ready to head out somewhere.
“Sister, please don’t go too far,” Luna asked her.
"Oh, don't you worry, Luna. I won't hurt him… too much," Celestia chuckled deeply. She then headed out the front door and out of sight. Luna still feared what her big sister was getting herself into, but couldn't do much about it. She can only hope Celestia keeps her word. What with her career and family on the line.
“So what’re we supposed to do now that your mom is gonna go crazy on that guy?” Sunset asked.
“Well how about I order a pizza and we can watch a movie?” Luna added.
"Hmm… sounds good. All that wrestling did work up quite an appetite," Eternal nodded.
"I'd love a pizza, too. Thanks auntie," Heat added.
"I could go for a delicious pepperoni pizza," Twilight agreed.
“Good, which movie would you like to watch until my sister gets back?”
"How about Creed II? I always did love a good boxing movie," Sunset said.
"Very well then. I'll get to it," Luna said. She pulled out her cell phone and dialed the number for the nearest pizza parlor. She also switched to Amazon Video and searched for the right movie to rent.
While she's handling the orders, Sunset and Eternal took a seat on the couch to rest up. Their day has gotten real crazy as of late. While resting, Eternal glanced over at the family photo hanging on the wall, gazing at his father's photo. If he could see his son right now, he'd freak out from his new transformation and powers. If he were still around, he'd ask his dad for some advice right about now.
Back in the city, the same male that Sunset and Eternal let go, was still running from the cops that the manager of the wrestling stadium sicked after him. He darted for the next alleyway as he was running away from them. He was soon met with a brick wall, a dead end. The footsteps from the cops were coming closer and he had to think fast. After awhile, the cops showed up, but they couldn’t find the thief who they believed gave them the slip.
“Damnit, where’d he go?” the first cop said as they looked around.
“He couldn't have gotten far,” the second one added. “Damnit, I hate having to write reports on perps that got loose.”
“We saw his face at least,” the first cop added. “Bastard was too stupid to not cover it.”
“He might’ve darted in the other direction,” he added.
“Let’s get going then,” the first cop added as they both left.
“Finally, I lost those assholes,” the theif said as he peeked out from the dumpster. He then looked into the duffle bag to see that amount of money that he had. He smirked to himself after seeing the fat wads of cash that he had. “If those stupid punks didn’t let me slip, I wouldn’t have been able to leave with this. Hopefully it’s enough to pay off my debt.”
He followed up by getting out of the dumpster that he was lucky was empty and then left the alleyway, after checking that the coast was clear. He continued to move around through the city for a bit until he arrived at a large warehouse to meet his ‘boss.’ There was a sign at the top that said “Bombshell Funhouse” on the top showing that this area was a stripclub. There was even a series of neon lights sigh that shows a woman with big tits, and stars covering her nipples to solidify that. Two guards were standing by the front door and the ‘thief’ showed his card that he was meeting someone here. The two guards let him in and he walked inside and smiled.
“Ah, sanctuary,” he said to himself as he watched some of the strippers working their magic to entice clients on the other end. He did enjoy some of the girls here, but he was here on a job, and he needed to see someone. He walked ahead and towards the backroom to find two more guards, and a figure in the shadows who was sitting on the desk. Only his eyes could be made out, but he looked up at the ‘thief’ and he gulped nervously as he closed the door behind him. The room was surrounded by soundproof styrofoam so no one would hear what was going on.
“Well, look who decided to show his face,” the shadow figure said as he set down playing cards. He was in the middle of playing solitaire and set down his cards on the table. “So you come to try and weasel your way about borrowing money from me again?”
“Not today boss,” the thief said as he pulled out the duffle bag. “I’m actually here to pay you back the 7000$ I owe ya.” He follows that up by tossing the duffle bag into the table.
“Really now?” he said to himself as he opened the duffle bag. He saw the amount of money that was there and looked back at the thief. A pair of red hands going into the bag and pull out the money from the bag. He had a look of contempt, but it soon turned to a look of disappointment.
"You call this repaying your debt? You're shy of $4,100! When I said you had to repay your debt, I meant in full. Or should I report your blunder to… him?" the figure threatened.
“Wait, what?” he said in confusion. “But the guy back there said 3000$ when I ran into him earlier.” He was about to back up but he bumped into two of the guards that were there and one of them was already cracking his knuckles.
"Well, looks like he miscounted seeing as a $100 bill is missing.” He growled as he snapped his fingers. “I’m not a fan of being cheated, and you need to be made an example of.”
“Come on man, give me another chance,” he added as he was slowly backed into a corner. “I’m not gonna screw up this-” He was cut off when he was met with a fist to his face as both guards began to beat him up.
“Idiot,” he was about to leave, when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up to see one of the dancers in modest clothing looking back at him “What is it? I’m busy.”
She leaned down and whispered into his ear as he was still sitting in his chair, not caring for the man who was getting beat up. When she finished what she told him, he sighed to himself and snapped his fingers again. The two guards stopped beating up the thief and he was bruised, sporting a black eye and cut lip. He looked up in confusion as he was fearing for his life right now.
“It seems that my plans have changed,” he said to the thief who looked at him in both fear and confusion.
“Wh-what plans?” he whimpered.
“Listen, I could have you singing with the fishes right now and you'd never see the light of day again." the figure said. "However… it would seem that I've got other problems on my hands. But the question is… are you up to the task?" he asked.
"Y-Yeah, of course! Anything!" the thief replied nervously, as he was coughing up blood from the bruises from earlier.
"Good. Then here's the deal; one of those goodie-two-shoes men in blue's been snooping around in our business and getting a little too close. He's got to be stopped and I want you to make sure he never walks again." the figure ordered before snapping his fingers. One of the guards then came up to the thief and brought him a small box. "Inside there's what you need to put him on ice for good. And remember, this is your last chance. Anymore screw-ups and you'll wind up a stiff, got it?"
“Y-yes sir,” he said readily.
“Good, now take the contents and go, and try not to be foolish by getting yourself caught.” he told him. The ‘theif’ then leaves trying his best to cover his face as he leaves the area, so as to not arouse suspicion.
“Good riddance,” he said in annoyance. He then turned to the dancer with a smirk. “I’ll be seeing you in my personal chambers, Pearl Star.”
“Yes sir,” she told him as she walked away with a sway in her step.
"And if you do a good job, there'll be an extra $300 in your pocket. 500 even," the figure added in a deep, yet smooth tone.
"Of course, sir." Pearl nodded.
An hour has passed as the group was watching Creed 2 and enjoying the boxers going at it. Thirty minutes ago, they were able to retrieve 3 large pizzas. Two were pepperonis, and the other was a meat lover's Pizza.
“He’s really put in the training hasn’t he?” Sunset added.
Around that time, they heard the front door open and looked behind to see Celestia.
“I’m back,” she said with a chipper smile on her face.
“Sister, you’re back,” Luna said with a sigh. “So how did it go?”
“Oh I just paid him a visit and reported him to the authorities after I explained what he tried to do to my son's girlfriend and for cheating them out of their actual prize money,” She added with a smirk as she took off her jacket. “He was fired on the spot after that and let go from his position. And when he was alone, that was when I made my move to go see him again.”
“Why do you have blood on your hands?” Twilight asked as she noticed the blood stains on Celestia’s knuckles.
“His mistake was charging at me,” she added as she cracked her knuckles. “I actually punched out a few of his teeth before throwing him into a dumpster in the alleyway. It was so fitting seeing him humiliated and beaten like that.”
“Mom…” Eternal groans.
"I'm not gonna lie, you definitely take after mom, Eternal," Heat said, pinching the bridge above his nose.
“Oh, is that pizza?”
“Wash your hands first sister,” Luna remarked.
“Fine,” Celestia sighed as she walked to the kitchen and washed the blood and grime off of her hands. She then joined the group to enjoy the pizza that was still warm and watched the movie. By the time it ended, everyone was already feeling tired from today.
“Okay everyone, this is the last week of highschool and I do hope that you all can enjoy your summer vacation properly when you all graduate,” Celestia added with a smile on her face.
"I still can't believe it's happening. I mean, it seems like just yesterday we were starting out as freshmen and now… we're leaving CHS," Heat said, feeling emotional.
"So many adventures, so many friends… and we might have to leave all that behind. I wish we had more time to spend with our classmates." Twilight said.
"True, but you guys are actually set. You've both got scholarships to a prestigious college. We might not see each other all that much after school, but we'll still have each other and our friendship to boot," Sunset said.
"But even still, we should enjoy this vacation while we're at it. We have 3 whole months worth of Summer fun, so let's make it count in our own way," Eternal added.
"Correct. Oh and on a side note, try not to go showing off your powers to anyone in the school, not even the girls, is that clear?" Luna pointed out.
“We know Aunt Luna,” Eternal added.
“We’ll try to keep a low profile,” Sunset added.
“Good,” she added. “Goodnight everyone.”
The ‘thief’ was stumbling outside away from the stripclub as he walked into an alleyway and fell onto the floor, cursing god for the life he had to live.
“I can’t fucking believe this,” the male ‘thief’ said as he was groaning form the beating that he endured. “I have to do a hit after I barely got away from the cops last time, and I get the crap beat out of me for it!” He hit the wall behind an alleyway in frustration as he looked at the box he was given.
“I’ll at least be grateful for this,” he added as he looked at the newspaper that he had in his hand. It had a picture of the cop that he was after. “With him alive, he’ll help me live longer with his death.”
He then set down the box and looked inside to see what was inside. Inside was a ski-mask, a pair of gloves and a loaded gun with three clips worth of ammunition. He puts them on and hides the gun in his jacket as he walks out of the alleyway towards his home.

Web Warriors of Canterlot City
Morning had risen over the city, and it was time for everyone to wake up and get ready for work… or school, in Celestia's family's case. Celestia and Luna had gotten up earlier than their sons/nephews so they could head to school a little early to fill out some paperwork. So, at the moment, the boys were alone in the household with their girlfriends.
The girls were the first to wake up and took this time to head into the showers to freshen up while their sweethearts woke up afterwards to gather a fresh change of clothes. They decided to wait their turns since there's only 1 shower in the whole house.
And as the girls were washing themselves, Twilight yelped when Sunset pressed herself against her nerdy friend and hugged her. The adorkable egghead felt her face heating up madly while also feeling her friend's massive, squishy mounds against her back.
"S-S-Sunset, what gives?" Twilight asked, embarrassed.
“Just been awhile since you and showered together,” she teased, as she hugged her close “You remember the last time when your boyfriends walked in on us when you fell on me before?”
“You’re never going to let me live that down, are you?” Twilight groaned, her face getting redder.
"Hell no. Besides, if I'm honest. I always did find you kinda cute. And don't take this the wrong way, but your girls seem to fit perfectly in the palm of my hands," Sunset said, groping Twilight's subtle breasts.
“S-Sunset!”
While that was going on, the guys were slowly waking up from their dreams and stretching their limbs, loosening any tense muscles. The boys gathered some clean clothes from their closets and drawers. Well, Heat mostly since Eternal's new body made him outgrow his old wardrobe. If Rarity hadn't made him some new clothes, he'd be in a deep pickle.
He pulls out a regular black T-shirt and blue jeans that Rarity had sewn together for him the other day and folded them nicely for when it was his turn to take a shower. Heat, on the other hand, still in his pajamas, went into the kitchen to fix up breakfast for his brother, as well as both of their girlfriends.
“When are the girls gonna get out of the shower?” Eternal asked himself. As soon as he asked that, he heard the bathroom door upstairs opening. He steps out of his room to see Sunset and Twilight walking out of the shower. Sunset had a smile on her face while Twilight looked to be red faced.
“Hey girls,” Eternal said with a smile on his face.
"Hiya, handsome." Sunset giggled.
"Uh, hi," Twilight said, embarrassed. Both girls had towels wrapped around their bodies, though Sunset's could barely contain her flawless, sexy, naked body. A huge chunk of her breasts were poking out from the fabric of the towel and left much to the imagination.
"What's up with Twilight? Did something happen?" he asked.
“I may have gotten a little too handsy when we were bathing together,” she admitted, while sticking out her tongue.
“You pressed yourself against me and slapped me on my butt Sunset!” she yelled in annoyance.
"Aww, come on, Twilight. You just look so cute when you're naked. I'll bet even Heat loves giving that booty of yours some love." Sunset chuckled, giving Twilight's adorkable booty another spanking, making her yelp.
“Could you please stop that?” Twilight added. “I don’t want to feel anymore awkward now.”
“Okay, I’ll lay off,” Sunset followed up. “I just wonder how the school is gonna take in our new forms after we show up for our final week of high school.”
"I will say this: this'll be one hell of a last week no one's ever gonna forget," Eternal said. “Okay, I’m gonna go in first. Heat’s currently in the kitchen right now.”
“Sure,” Sunset said as she and Twilight went to the brother’s rooms to go and change. Eternal then walks into the bathroom for his shower. Meanwhile it cuts back to Heat Blitz, thinking about his future and well as his family when his sister Summer Solstice comes to visit. It's been quite a while since he's ever had a chance to see her.
Right now, Heat's halfway done cooking up a tasty breakfast for everyone. He was currently cooking sausage links, omelets, French toast and even oatmeal. He normally doesn't make this much, but considering his brother's and Sunset's increased size, their appetites might have gotten bigger too. By the time that he was done, he already made a buffet that would feed at a bed and breakfast. IT covered most of the entire table.
“Wow, I made more than I thought they would,” he said to himself. "Let's hope we won't have to worry about leftovers."
“Something smells good,” a female voice called out, getting Heat’s attention. He turned around to find Twilight, already dressed in her school uniform. He always found her cute whenever she wore her glasses on her face.
"Hi, Twilight. You're looking as cute and adorkable as ever," Heat chuckled, going over to give his sweetheart a hug.
“It's kinda cute seeing you in your PJ’s,” she followed up but stopped when she notice the large spread. “You really fixed a lot of food.”
“With how much my brother and your best friend have grown from what happened, I needed to be careful,” he added. “Where’s Sunset?”
“Oh she’s still getting changed,” she added.
“Was getting changed,” another female voice called out, getting their attention. They turned around to see Sunset walking down the stairs, dressed in her new wardrobe. She was wearing a sleeveless burgundy shirt with her cutie mark stitched on the front of it. She still had her black leather jacket and skinny jeans with normal black combat boots. “Geez, you really fixed a lot of food.” she said as she stretched her limbs and noticed the large spread of breakfast.
“H-hey Sunset,” Heat said, a little nervous since it would take a while to get used to her brand new body. He knew that Rarity knew how to make clothes to make anyone sexy and Sunset was looking very sexy. Twilight noticed Heat’s reaction and turned to Sunset.
“Sunset, could you please not try to steal my boyfriend?” Twilight said with a dull tone.
"I'm sorry, Twi. But I can't control how I look. Though I am flattered he finds me attractive, I would never try to steal him away from you. I'm not the same cold-hearted bitch I was back then during the Fall Formal," Sunset assured. “Besides, you know my heart belongs to Eternal.”
“Okay, Speaking of Eternal, when’s he coming down?” Heat added.
"You rang?" Eternal called out. Heat's big brother can be heard coming down the stairs and he could see him coming into view, wearing a short-sleeve black T-shirt and blue jeans, his long, red hair mostly combed back and glistening after finishing up his shower. He looked like a younger version of Rambo. What with his well-toned chest and six pack poking through the fabric of his shirt.
“Eep!” Twilight chirped, feeling her face flush red again.
"Bro… seriously? Do you have to wear something THAT revealing and in front of my girl?" Heat asked in a dull voice.
"It wasn't my intention. Besides, I barely have enough new clothes to last me the whole week before graduation. Just try to picture me as an ugly fish or something," Eternal replied.
‘Gonna be hard to do with a body like that,’ Twilight thought to herself as she turned away from him and towards the food.
“Man everything smells good,” Eternal followed up. “You really outdid yourself Heat.”
"Thanks, bro. Anyways, let’s dig in,” he added as he washed his hands and joined the others at the table for the large breakfast that was there. Needless to say, Heat and Twilight ate their fill pretty quickly, roughly 75% of the food was gobbled up by Sunset and Eternal. Heat was right to call on their huge appetites. Luckily, all the food was eaten and everyone had their fill. Later, after Heat left to go and take his shower, the others pitched in and washed the dishes thoroughly before waiting for Heat to come out, fully dressed. Afterwards, they grabbed their stuff and headed off to school.
Canterlot High School, most of the students were getting ready for the final week of high school as the Seniors prepare for graduation while the others prepare for their Summer Vacation and how they're gonna spend it. Some of the students arrived via the bus, others drove themselves to school, or were driven to school by their families. But this final week was gonna be a hell of a surprise when the students saw two of the top seniors arrive.
Speaking of which, Eternal and Sunset both arrived at school by driving. They even had the courtesy to give Heat and Twilight a lift. Once they parked, all of them exited the vehicle and walked on campus grounds.
Right away, gasps rang all throughout the school as all eyes were on the young Rambo and the sexy bacon head.
“Woah, is that Sunset and Eternal?” one of the students said in shock.
“Holy crap she’s hot,” another added. “Damn, that Eternal guy is lucky.”
“When did Eternal become such a hunk?” A female student followed up.
“Guess those videos and pics spreading around were true,” another added.
It continued for that point on as Sunset and Eternal walked forward towards the school, leaving Heat and Twilight behind trying to ignore everyone’s comments.
"Ugh… this is gonna be a long week," Sunset groaned.
"The sooner we get done with this final week, the better." Eternal replied. Their troubles didn't stop there, as expected, since more students inside were eyeballing the couple. Chicks looked at Sunset with envy and towards Eternal with lust and want. It was vice versa for the guys sneering at Eternal and undressing Sunset with their eyes. Of course, there were a small handful of gays and lesbians wanting to get with them and who could blame them?
“Where do you think our friends are, and how do you think they’re gonna react to this?” Sunset added.
“Hopefully away from this massive group that we had to push past,” Eternal added.
And it just got even more wild when they bumped into their friends.
"Hey guys, who wa-- WHOA!!!" Rainbow Dash said in shock, backing away. "Dude… what the hell did you two take to get those bodies?"
"Wow, your boobies have gotten bigger, Sunset. And so has your booty. Did you have some sweets that went straight to your girls and your rear end?" Pinkie asked casually, smiling.
"Oh… my. W-W-What happened to you two?" Fluttershy asked, blushing and looking away.
"Please tell me this wasn't an experiment gone wrong or somethin'," Applejack said.
"Oh no, darlings. They didn't take anything. Though, I will be honest. I do so rather LOVE what I'm seeing right now," Rarity let out a sultry growl, smirking.
"Rarity, now might not be the best time to be thinking with your crotch. Sunset, Eternal, would you mind telling us what happened?" Israel Yabuki asked.
"It's a long story. We'll tell you about it during lunchtime. Right now, we wanna get as far away from these all-seeing eyes as possible." Eternal said.
“There’s also a chance that you probably wouldn’t believe us even if we told you,” Sunset followed up.
“Considering half of the stuff we’ve done together with magic, you can try us,” Applejack added.
"That's fine with me." Rainbow shrugged.
"If that's how you feel, then here's the short version: genetically enhanced spider bites transformed our bodies," Sunset explained nonchalantly.
The others looked at her with widened eyes and jaws agape. Just then, Rainbow Dash broke the silence by breaking into a massive fit of laughter. Everyone just looked at her silly and Sunset simply groaned at this reaction.
“What did I just say?” she said in annoyance.
“Bahahahaha! I’m sorry, but a spider…it’s just too hilarious…” She added.
“Yeah well it’s the truth,” Eternal added. Before anyone else could say anything, the sounds of the bell ringing got their attention. "What'd you expect when you're trying to explain things to Rainbow Dash? Come on, we don't wanna miss the 2nd bell."
“Sure thing,” Applejack added. “You still owe us a bigger explanation after lunch,” she followed up as she carried Rainbow Dash towards her next class. The group eventually splits off and try to handle the last week of school for their graduation. For Sunset and Eternal it wasn’t easy. Sunset would not stop getting cat-called by some of the guys that tried to make a move when they had her alone when Eternal and her didn’t share a classroom. Only it didn’t last that far when they were confident thinking that three of them would force her to comply, only to be met face first with a nearby trash can. Eternal would be annoyed by the girls that tried to give him their phone numbers, but he would constantly decline. There was a point when Sunset walked by and saw her boyfriend being bothered by a group of girls and she had to walk by and give a harsh glare saying that he wasn’t interested. By the time the bell rang for lunch, both individuals could breathe a sigh of relief.
“Well, that was annoying,” Sunset followed up as she went to her locker. “How was your school day?”
"Same as yours. If you hadn't set those boundaries on the other girls who were flirting with me, I'd probably have to deal with having my clothes ripped and them trying to get into my pants. Teenage hormones are extremely dangerous." Eternal groaned, leaning against his own locker. "Did any of those bastards try to touch you?"
“Few times they did,” She added, closing her locker. “Three classes I had to deal with at least one of them, and they tried to corner me when I was on my way to the bathroom. I had to shove the three of them in a trash can to make them get the hint that I’m not interested. I swear If I have to deal with another one of those assholes, I’m gonna lose my mind!”
"Then let me take care of them for you," Eternal said, patting her on the back gently. She smiled up at her boyfriend and clinged to his arm before they left their lockers and went to the cafeteria.
Once inside, they took a seat at the table where their friends were waiting. "Hi, gang. Sorry we're running late." Sunset said. "Classes were murder with all the boys trying to make a move on me."
"And girls kept shoving their phone numbers into my face. Thank god we finally got a chance to breathe a little easier." Eternal added.
"It's hard to imagine what you two have been going through." Israel commented.
"Sorry ya had to deal with that kinda torture. If there's anythin' we can do to help, ya know we've always got yer backs," Applejack said.
"We all do," Twilight added.
"Wouldn't that make things worse?" Sunset pointed out.
"How exactly?" Heat asked.
"Look at it this way, if a guy is suddenly surrounded by girls won’t people get the wrong idea and it would make things worse?” Sunset added.
"You mean, people'll think he's got a harem or he's some kind of pimp if we're guarding him?"
“Exactly,” Sunset added. “I’d rather not get anymore attention and wait for our graduation to be over with.”
“You know that also means putting up with a bunch a people starin’ at ya and yer boyfriend right?” Applejack bluntly pointed out.
“Don’t have to be reminded of that one Applejack,” Sunset groaned.
“There’s still the explanation you guys owe us involving the whole ‘Genetically altered spiders’ you guys mentioned earlier,” Rainbow Dash added. “What's the deal with that story?”
"Oh yeah… the story that you laughed off when they told us about it briefly?" Israel pointed out, looking at Rainbow with a deadpanned expression.
“I’d like to get something to eat first,” Eternal added. He then pulled out his overstuffed lunch box and opened up the contents, revealing a bowl full of chicken alfredo pasta, an assortment of freshly steamed vegetables and leftover pizza slices from last night. Sunset also had the same thing in her lunch bag.
“I guess I’ll start then,” Sunset added. “You remember when we went to Filthy Rich’s company?”
“Yeah we do, why?” Rainbow Dash added.
“Well we were bored for a bit on the tour so we snuck off for the time being,” Sunset added. “We ended up in the large spider exhibit where they were altering genetics with Spiders that would make their webbing stronger, something about making ropes with this as well as support beams.”
“Really now?” Rarity added.
“This is so exciting,” Pinkie added.
"However, we couldn't stay there for long because one of the scientists dropped a glass container full of those creepy crawlers. It got so bad they had to order an immediate evacuation until the spiders were fully contained." Eternal added.
"Unfortunately for us, two of the spiders hitched a ride with me and Eternal. When we got back to school earlier that day, those same spiders bit us on our hands and were given the rest of the day off from school. We got to our home and rested in the living room… woke up the next day and… boom. Our bodies transformed and we lost our old wardrobe." Sunset finished.
“I can vouch for them on that since they called me to arrive at her house,” Rarity added. “It was…quite a sight…”
“Can you please not go there, Rarity?” Sunset added as she bit into one of her pizza slices.
"She made us a new set of clothes that would fit our new sizes. But, uh… on that same day, I stopped by her house and saw that her place was being robbed. Thankfully, I saved her sister and parents and got those punks arrested." Eternal said.
“Right, Weren’t you just telling us about that Rarity?”
“Indeed,” Rarity added. “It was dreadful. I was unconscious for most of it, but when I came too, my family told me what happened. They were jumped by thugs because they wanted the jewels that I use to make some of my designs and even tried to rape my mother.”
“That’s terrible,” Fluttershy added.
"How dare they! Them hooligans ain't got no place in our peaceful society," AJ said, clenching her fists.
“I kicked the snot out of those assholes and they got what was coming to them, but that wasn’t even the worst of it,” Eternal added. “They tried to go after me and Sunset after they found out who beat them up.”
“Oh goodness,” Rarity added in shock.
“There was also that time when we went out and we came across a drug deal and almost got shot in the process,” Sunset added with a sigh.
“Which cost me my laptop, but not my hard drive,” Twilight added.
"And that meant only one thing: They work for someone else who's got lots of power in the criminal underground and whoever's their boss, he means business." Sunset added. "Which is why Celestia offered me a place to stay at her house for the time being until this whole ordeal blows over." Sunset continued.
“And where we testify against those guys that tried to come after us,” Eternal added.
“When’s that gonna happen?” Rainbow Dash added.
“My brother is supposed to contact us about that but he’s still getting things ready,” Twilight added. As soon as she said that, she heard her phone beeping. She reached into her pocket and pulled it out, answering it. "Hello?"
“Hey Twilight, it’s me,” a male voice said over the phone.
“Oh, hello Shining,” she added with a smile. “What is it?”
“We got a special prosecutor on the case, and he’ll be able to put these guys away if you and your friends testify on Thursday,” Shining added.
“Okay, we can do that,” Twilight added.
“Good, see you guys Thursday,” Shining armor added as he hung up and Twilight turned to the group.
“Okay, that was Shining Armor,” she added. “He just told me that we have to testify Thursday for the trial of the groups we had to deal with.”
“That’s good to hear,” Sunset added. “At least after this I can finally go back to my house.”
“We just have to last for the next few days and get our diplomas,” Eternal added. “Hopefully without getting bothered after awhile.”
“I just want to put what happened to us earlier behind us,” Twilight added.
"And then when all is said and done, I can finally try out for the Olympics and one day open up my dream gym!" Rainbow said, excitedly.
“Ah plan to look after the farm with mah folks and hopefully settle down one day,” Applejack added with a smile with a tip of her hat.
“I plan to become a veterinarian with my boyfriend Israel,” Fluttershy added with a cute smile on her face.
"I'll be helping Fluttershy as best as I can, but also plan on starting up my own voice acting career, which'll take some time." Israel added before pecking Fluttershy on the cheek.
“I plan to work with the cakes and one day open my own bakery,” Pinkie added with a smile on her face.
“I plan to go to fashion school and take my designs to the next level in the fashion industry,” Rarity added.
"For me, I'm hoping to get accepted into a good university so I can further my studies and become a scientist who'll develop endless cures for so many illnesses in the world!" Twilight proclaimed proudly.
"With a little luck, I'm hoping to get a scholarship at a good university. But I plan to study a little more about becoming a family therapist." Heat added.
"Maybe I'll become a famous singer, or even study to become a teacher or a lawyer. I'm not too sure, I've got so many options to choose from." Sunset says.
"As for me… My goal is to join the firefighters. It's dangerous work, but I feel like helping others by risking my neck to save them is what I was meant to do." Eternal stated.
“Then why don’t we propose a toast everyone,” Israel added as he held up a milk bottle in hands. Everyone else followed suit and either held up milk bottles or juice bottles in their hands. “To our graduation and future lives.”
“To our graduation and future lives,” everyone else followed up as they continued to enjoy their lunch.
It was a long day for most of the group of friends, but the day finally ended, but now without certain frustrations. Mainly for Sunset and Eternal. It was already at the end of the day and they were both annoyed at the constant attention from either guys wanting to hit on Sunset, or girls wanting to flirt with Eternal. It grew to the point where they would want to punch a few holes in the wall, but luckily not to actually do it. They knew that they’d have to deal with this until graduation on Friday, and they could only pray that they wouldn’t deal with the constant dirty looks they get from either side of the aisle.
“Man, what a day,” Sunset said with a groan.
"Indeed. At any moment, I might wind up having to punch a hole through something! RRGH!!! I'm the only boy in school for pete's sake.
“Right there with you Eternal,” Sunset added.
“You guys okay?” Twilight asked as she and Heat Blitz ran up to them worried about them.
“You both look like you had it rough,” Heat added.
"Oh, you don't say," Eternal replies sarcastically, acting surprised.
"That's not even the half of it! If I have to deal with anymore horny little boys staring at my ass or tits, or even reaching to grab them, I might just have to turn a whole damn, fucking house UPSIDE DOWN!!!" Sunset yelled, stomping her foot on the ground, leaving a crack on the sidewalk, which freaked out Heat and Twilight.
"And that's not all, apparently one of them already HAD a boyfriend and he got mad at me for trying to "steal his girl." He tried to pick a fight with me, but… well, you try punching one of these and finding out my bones are harder than steel." he points to his bulky arm.
“I’m guessing he broke his hand trying to hit you?” Twilight asked.
"Correct. He had to get rushed to the hospital because he punched my arm so hard, it cracked the bones in his hand.
“I’m guessing that him assaulting somebody and punching you isn’t gonna look good for him,” Sunset added. “The way I see it, they might think that he tried to punch my boyfriend and hurt himself if he moved out of the way.”
“I don’t see him getting ahead in life if he can’t keep his anger under control,” Twilight added.
"He'll be lucky to work in a warehouse if he doesn't drink himself to death at whatever pub he visits in this city." Heat brought up.
“Where’s everyone else by the way?” Sunset added.
“Oh they left already,” Twilight added. “My brother is coming to pick us up to introduce us to the special prosecutor.”
“You didn’t tell us that during lunch,” Sunset added.
“He just called me,” Twilight said defensively. “He said that he wanted to introduce us so he’ll be coming to pick us up in his car.”
“Guess we’ll have to follow him in our car then,” Eternal added. “So when’s he coming here?” His answer was met with the sound of a car horn that was coming in from the driveway. It was Shining Armor driving in a civilian car and was waving at the group.
“I think that answers your question,” Twilight added with a smile as she grabbed Heat’s wrist. “You guys can use your car, we’ll get in with Shining Armor.”
“Sure,” Eternal added as he and Sunset walked with each other towards their car. Twilight and Heat both got in the back of Shining’s car while Sunset and Eternal got in their car. Both had their seats adjusted with their new physical changes and hoped that the week of constant stares would hopefully die down after they graduate.
A pair of cars were driving through the city as they were abiding by traffic laws and were on their way home. Wanting to check on how the other was doing, Shining turned on the speakers of his car so everyone could hear each other.
"Thanks again for giving us a ride home, Shining." Twilight said.
"Think nothing of it, Twily. I gotta do what I can to keep my little sister safe. Same goes for your friends here. Hey, you guys gonna be okay back there?" Shining asked Eternal and Sunset.
"A little cramped, but we'll manage." Sunset sighs.
"I still can't believe such a thing was possible for you guys. You sure you don't wanna see a doctor about this?" Heat asked.
"Trust me, it's best that no one else knows about our powers and how we got them. Do you have any idea how stupidly corrupt the government is in today's day and age? They'd take us away from our families and run experiments on us nonstop. Nosey dicks." Sunset ranted.
“She’s not wrong,” Eternal followed up. “So we’re on our way to the house?”
“I just need to make a quick stop to the precinct for a bit to check on the prisoner for interrogation,” Shining added. “I asked him about who he worked for earlier, but he seemed very scared whenever I asked about it.”
“Either he’s someone who he’s embarrassed by or is someone so known that they probably don’t want to die,” Sunset followed up. “Are you thinking about offering him a plea deal or something?”
“That’s if I can convince him to cooperate,” Shining added. “So far he’s pretty clammed up at the moment.”
"If I had to guess, the suspect is probably too scared to have himself get cut from breathing. Which means he's working for someone extremely powerful in the criminal underground. But we don't know who." Twilight said.
"Who knows why he won't spill the beans. What I'm hoping for is him and his gang to back off from us and let us carry on with our lives. I've got a lot ahead of me." Heat said.
“I’m hoping to have some witness protection on hand with his sentencing added on top of his sentence, and have guards that I personally trust by him at all times,” The young cop added.
“Hey, if it means this guy gets busted, then that's more than enough to get him out of our lives,” Sunset followed up. Shining sighs as he drove ahead and saw the familiar blue building in the city.
“We should be getting close to the precinct,” he told everyone.
"Alright. Just do what you gotta do. But, uh… should we come with you or just wait in the car?" Twilight asked.
"Best to be safe. You might wanna have to wait in the lobby inside the station. I'll try to make this as quick as possible and then you'll be home safe and sound." Shining explained.
Shining then arrived at the station, pulling into the parking lot. After that, he unlocked the car and let everyone out. Twilight and Heat exited the car with Shining while Eternal got out of his car with Sunset and they all followed the police captain inside. But it wasn't until the very last minute that the toned-up couple realized they're gonna have more eyes locked on them.
And sadly, it's happening. Policemen and policewomen as far as the eye can see had their eyes locked on the two. Sunset and Eternal both groaned and Shining gasped in realization. Some of the policemen were lowering their sunglasses, having a peek at Sunset, either wondering if she's some kind of prostitute or just admiring how sexy she is. Definitely wondering if she's already an adult. As for the policewomen, they caught quick glances at Eternal and felt their faces heat up before turning away to fan themselves using their police uniforms.
"Uh… okay guys, back to work, nothing to see here!" Shining ordered.
‘Of course, we're the center of attention. WHY am I not surprised?’ Eternal thought, annoyed.
'Why didn’t he just let us stay in our car?' Sunset thought in annoyance.
"I'm so sorry you have to endure this again after such a long day," Shining said. "I’ll try to make this quick and we’ll be on our way.” He then walked away from the group and went to another part of the precinct leaving the pre adults alone. Sunset immediately slumped on a bench as she shivered, feeling a bunch of male gazes on her, specifically her feminine assets. She had to try and avert even looking at them as this was making her uncomfortable. As for Eternal, he had to make it violently clear to everyone in the precinct that Sunset was his girl. He wraps his arms around her, hiding her face in his warm chest and glaring at everyone, as if saying "stay away from her or else."
“I really hope Shining Armor gets done with whatever he’s doing soon,” Sunset added, looking up at her boyfriend. “I really don’t think I can take much more of this.”
"I know, babe… I know. Believe me, this is killing me as much as it is with you. So, let's try to veer away from the subject and focus on something else entirely. Like, uh… Twilight, how's your project coming along?" Eternal asked.
"It's actually gonna come along a lot easier than I thought. Turns out CHS has a super computer and I can use that to present the data from my hard drive," Sci-Twi replies, feeling glad.
"So it wasn't a total loss at that abandoned warehouse after all," Heat added happily.
"Well, that's a relief to hear. Sorry we couldn't win the money for a new laptop, Twilight. If that fat slob hadn't cheated us out of the reward, we'd have done this a whole lot smoother," Sunset said with a sad smile.
“Hey it’s okay,” Twilight added, with a smile on her own. “I already decided to try and earn money for a new laptop for when I go into college, so it’s not a big deal.”
“I guess that’s good to hear. So what’s the next plan from her after the-!” Sunset freezes for a bit when she feels a strange tingling in her head. Eternal followed suit as he felt the same thing.
“Hmm?” Heat said in confusion as he saw the strange looks that Sunset and Eternal had. This also catches Twilight's attention as she stared at her friends in confusion.
"Sunset? Eternal? What's the matter?" Twilight asked.
"I dunno, for some reason my head is tingling like crazy!" Sunset said, gripping her head.
"Same here! Something's not right." Eternal said before seeing a bunch of cars pull up outside of the police station. They were confused at first, but then, a bunch of men burst out with several guns locked and loaded, pointing towards the police station. There was no time to do anything except… "EVERYBODY, GET DOWN!!!" he shouted.
Right away, the four of them ducked for cover behind something to avoid getting shot. At the same time, gunshots rang and the alarm was tripped. The police station was being invaded and several police officers, prisoners, or civilians were being gunned down, dead or alive. Sunset and Eternal guarded Twilight and Heat behind a desk as the streams of bullets were still raining and entering the building. Twilight stayed quiet as well as Heat, Eternal and Sunset as they thought to themselves, who’d be crazy to pull a stunt like this. They could also hear the sounds of screaming coming from outside as civilians were running for their lives from the chaos. It felt like forever, but the hail of bullets finally stopped after about 30 seconds. Sunset, Eternal, Twilight, and Heat dared not to move, wondering what was going on. The sounds of footsteps coming up to the building causes the group to freeze as they wondered who was there. The doors were then kicked open to reveal the armed men all with ski masks were looking around. They also had body armor, knives for close quarters combat, and armor piercing side arms with grenades
“Search the area, make sure there aren’t any survivors,” the leader said as they looked around. The men began to search among the dead bodies for survivors to see if they were alive or not, all while Sunset, Eternal, Twilight, and Heat were doing their best to stay as quiet as possible. Twilight was frozen by her fear, but she was hoping that her brother was still alive after what happened. The others were thinking along the same line, but the sounds of a silent gunshot got the group's attention. They all looked behind them slightly to see that the men were shooting the bodies to see a reaction to make sure that they were dead.
‘What the fuck? These guys are monsters,’ Sunset thought as they shot another group of bodies near them. She realizes right away that if they get near her and her friends, they were going to die. The group of males started to stalk closer to Sunset and her friends, leaving them cornered like sitting ducks. But then, Eternal whispered in her ear.
"Create a distraction when you see their eyes. I'll then capture them when they're off-guard," he whispered quietly. Eternal then backed up and went as low as he could to the ground. Sunset wasn't sure how to distract them, but she had to trust her boyfriend's judgment. So, with a silent, heavy breath, she breathes in and exhales before waiting for the signal.
As soon as she saw multiple eyes peek over the desk they were hiding, her spider senses kicked in and next thing she knew, her feet kicked the desk hard, sending it flying at the gunners and knocking them back. Their fingers pulled the triggers on their guns by instinct. While they were blinded, Eternal seized his moment to web them up and cover them up completely. He shot thick webs from his wrists to make sure they would hold out long enough.
"Now! Get Twilight and Heat outta here! There's bound to be backup on the way. And don't use the main exit, they might have guards on stand-by. Use one of the fire escapes." Eternal said quietly to Sunset.
"Okay, but what about you?" Sunset asked.
"I'll join you later. I've gotta go and see if there's more of them and then get Shining Armor. He might be in some serious danger," Eternal replied.
Sunset wanted to argue, but there was no time. Who knows how many more goons are lurking the building. "Alright. But you better hurry. Good luck," Sunset wished Eternal good luck with a kiss on the lips before taking Twilight and Heat with her to the fire escape in the very back of the police station.
With them out of the way, Eternal scouted the area as quietly as possible. He peeked through each corner of the building, trying his hardest to ignore the carnage those monsters caused. So much blood… so much death… it was like something out of a graphic horror film. There was nothing more he could do to save these poor lost policemen and women, except help those who are still alive.
While scouting, he felt something grab his leg. He stopped and looked down to see a downed police officer, clinging onto dear life.
"Help… me. Help. . . me. . . please," he begged. Eterna's eyes couldn't unsee the horror in front of him. He kneeled down and tried to help the guy.
"Just hang in there, I'll try and get us outta this mess," he whispered, trying not to panic. Suddenly, his spider senses kicked in again when he heard a gun cocking. He flipped out of the way and maneuvered through each gunshot aimed at him and when he was closed enough, he kicked the gun out of the guy's hand and uppercut him in the chin hard, knocking him out. He glared down at the goon for a second before continuing his search.
He scanned the building some more for any survivors until… "Oh no!" he uttered. His eyes landed on a familiar police captain who's barely keeping himself propped up against the wall with bullet wounds in parts of his body. "SHINING!!!"
Sunset, Twilight and Heat went down the fire escape and found themselves in the underground parking lot of the precinct, still trying to process what was going on. Sunset was trying to stay calm despite what was going on, but Twilight was frozen in shock from the death and destruction that she just witnessed.
“What the fuck was that?” Sunset said in shock. “We're just minding our own business and these guys just show up and shoot up the place like a wild western movie.”
“Yeah, well the wild west doesn't have automatic weapons nowadays,” Heat added as he was trying to comfort his girlfriend who was still in shock. "Hey! Twilight! Snap out of it! Now's not the time to lose your cool! I know you're scared and all, but we can't stay here!"
“It’s no use Heat,” Sunset said, realizing the state that she’s currently in. “I’ve seen this state, and there’s no use trying to break her out of it right now. The best we can do is find a way out of here and wait for your brother to get back.”
“What I want to know is who the hell sent those guys to the precinct to turn the place into target practice?” Heat added.
“I don’t know, but we need to-!” Sunset is cut off when she hears the sounds of footsteps in her direction. “Dammit! You take Twilight and try to find cover!” Sunset tells Heat and responds by picking up Twilight and placing her on his back and running behind the big SWAT van. Once safely hidden, he sat down and sat Twilight in his lap, hiding her face in his chest while he stroked her hair comfortingly.
While the two were safely hidden, Sunset made use of her spider powers and leaped up above the door and attached to the wall like a spider. The door opens up seconds later and sees a goon coming out. But… something's different about this one. Unlike the other henchmen, this one had a more padded suit on, along with some heavier armor and a tactical metal mask.
'Hmm, it looks like this guy must be the ringleader. I gotta be careful with this guy,' she said in her mind.
“Dammit, he said no witnesses in the building,” the leader said to himself. “Boss’s gonna kill me if he finds out that three civilians got away.”
“Whoever hired you assholes is the least of your worries, you monstrous son of a bitch!” Sunset shouted as she jumped from the doorframe and onto the goon who was started from seeing Sunset on the wall and pinned her underneath him.
"Aaagh!!! You little bitch, I'll get you for that!" the goon grunted.
"Not until I make you pay for what you've done to those policemen and women!" Sunset yelled in anger. She grabbed the thug by the collar of his armor, performed a front-flip and slammed the thug to the ground hard. But his heavily armored suit shielded him from the impact. He picked himself up and drew his weapon, turned around and shot at Sunset.
The raging, bacon-haired Amazonian could see each bullet coming and moved her body with great precision, twisting and dodging and jumping through the air, avoiding the bullets. She doesn't have any webbing like Eternal, but she can make do with the powers she had.
"Hold still, you little brat!" the goon growled.
Sunset doesn't give up and keeps avoiding the gunshots. Once she heard empty clicks, she charged in and threw a barrage of punches and kicks at the goon. While he wasn't feeling that much damage, the impact was still there and it was knocking the wind out of him.
"You can shower me with all the hits you want, you AIN'T stopping me! It's only a matter of time until you get tired and I come after your little shitty friends, too!" he taunted through the blows.
And that comment… signed his own death warrant. "You… stay away… FROM MY FRIENDS!" Sunset's rage poured into her next attack and shattered the man's armor with one mighty punch, sending him flying and hitting one of the patrol cars. Sunset's rampage didn't stop there as she poured on more hell onto her prey. She punched and punched, leaving cracks in his armor, including his mask. "First the police, then my friends… I WON'T LET YOU LEAVE THIS PLACE ALIVE, YOU FUCKING GUTLESS ASSHOLE!!!"
The goon was getting pummeled and the more it continued, he couldn't help feeling scared, thinking she was gonna kill him. He was trapped with nowhere to go.
"Help! Mercy! MERCY! PLEASE!!!" he begged. This infuriated Sunset even more as she grabbed him and ran up to the wall and slammed his head against it again and again.
"MERCY?! DID YOU SHOW MERCY TO THOSE POLICE… WHO HAD FAMILIES AND FRIENDS WAITING FOR THEM?! YOU FUCKING MAKE ME SICK!!!" Sunset shouted, throwing him onto the ground, then followed it up by jumping and then knee kicking him in the solar plexus, knocking the air out of him.
Once the guy was stunned and unable to move. She glared down at the goon and grabbed his mask tightly. "Now… let me see the shithole who's behind that metal facade," she demanded in a low, menacing tone. And with one swift yank, she unmasks her opponent. The very second that she saw his face, she froze. Lying beneath her battered and bruised was the same guy that she and Eternal let go that following night. She was still trying to process what was going on as she didn’t realize that the male beneath her was trying to get away.
"G-G-Get off me!!!" In a fit of adrenaline, the goon shoves Sunset off and tries to make a run for it, but suddenly… he's tackled to the ground by Heat Blitz. He then grabs the goon by the hair and pulls his arm back to restrain him.
"Nnngh!!! Gotcha!!! Sunset, hurry, I can't hold him for long!" Heat called out. This shook Sunset out of her stupor as she turned over to Haet who tackled the man to the floor.
"You… the little shit with the gang who followed me home that day! Ooh… you better start explaining yourself, and I mean NOW, mister!"
"Okay! Okay!” he said as he didn’t want another beating like before. “I owe a head honcho a big sum of cash and I had no choice! I had to kill them or my boss is gonna kill me! He calls the shots and he can't risk having any witnesses giving him away! You make one single mistake and he'll kill you on the spot.”
"What's his name? You'd better talk now!" Sunset demanded between her teeth.
"I can't! I… I CAN'T! He has eyes and ears everywhere! If he knew I gave away his name, he'd have me dead in a heartbeat!" he squirmed. "So pummel me all you like, but I'm not telling. I… like… breathing."
And as Sunset was gonna stomp his head, Heat stops her.
"No, don't! It's not worth it. He's clearly not gonna tell us. Whoever his boss is, he's definitely no joke if he can't even say his name. The best we can do is hold him until the police arrive from the other districts." Heat explained. And Sunset wanted to pummel him some more, but… what's the point when she knows Heat Blitz is right. So, she helped Heat restrain the thug by knocking him out with a chop to the back of the neck.
Meanwhile, back upstairs with Eternal, he checked Shining to see if he was still alive. "Hey, come one, captain! Open your eyes! Please tell me you're okay!" he urged.
Hearing his voice ring in his ears, Shining lifted his head up and looked at Eternal. "E…Eternal, is… is my sister… okay?" he asked, straining to stay awake.
"She's okay. She's still alive. They made it to the fire escape in case there's danger out in the front door. Don't worry, I'll get us outta this mess," Eternal then rested the captain onto him while he called for some ambulances and more cops. It was around that time that Shining Armor passed out from the pain.
“Shining! Shining Wake up!” Eternal yelled as he shook him, but he was unresponsive.

So sorry this took so long, but I was focusing on stories for my Fanfiction account. Also, another writer that I know of will be taking a long hiatus in mid-May, so I won't be able to keep in touch with him after that. Anyways, here's another chapter as things have gotten dark very fast from the police shootout. I want to try and flesh out the characters more for when they take on their mantles. Hope to see you in the next installment of Web Warriors of Canterlot City.
Web Warriors of Canterlot City
Author's Note
Hello everyone, last year was one hell of a mess with the outbreak, but I hope that we can move past that and into a new year. Anyways, this is a new story Idea I wanted to try out ever since Mils Morales was released and I'm getting help from my good friend into making this. I hope you enjoy the story and how far it will go.
Chapter 1
-Canterlot High School-
High School, one of the many steps into adulthood when you want to try and be proficient in a career and move onto the next step in your lives. This was the mindset of most of the students that were attending Caterlot University, a school that was run by Principal Celestia and her sister Vice Principal Luna. They were joined by their new freshman students that were attending the university and were all in front of school buses for this trip.
“Alright everyone, we’ll be going to the Filthy Rich Corporation for this year's field trip, so please be on your best behavior. This is not a reward, but a privilege to be exploring the place. Let's not have a repeat happen last year when the seniors got too...curious of places which should've never been discovered,” Principal Celestia said.
Among that group of students was a select group of friends who were all in their senior class and were excited for the school trip.
“I can’t believe we’re going to take a tour of the Filthy Rich Corporation, this is so exciting!” a familiar and studios girl in the group said with a smile on her face. This was one of the seniors of Canterlot High, Twilight Sparkle. She was originally a student of the Crystal Prep Academy, but transferred to Canterlot high for a new lease on life since her old school was nothing but a mess of torment and sorrow. Wearing her old crystal prep uniform that she changed to not have the logo, and her usual trademark glasses, she’s known to be at the top of her studies. “I can't wait to see what kind of new science projects they're testing! Just think of the infinite possibilities," Twilight fangirled very adorkably.
“You're really into this aren’t you?” A familiar redhead said with a smile on her face as she crossed her arms. This was Sunset Shimmer, a friend of hers that she met and helped her with her problems previously.
"I can't help it! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get a tour of one of the biggest corporations in the city!" Twilight replied, still fangirling a bit.
“Just wish it wasn’t a boring trip to some building,” A rainbow haired girl mentioned as she lazily sat on the side. This was the sports fanatic Rainbow Dash and the head of the Soccer team. “It’s probably gonna have nothing, but old test tubes or something."
"Not every science corporation is about chemicals, Rainbow Dash," a male voice said. Rainbow looks to see that it was Heat Blitz who spoke. He had short, orange hair, light yellow skin, bright purple eyes like Principal Celestia and wore a purple shirt and blue jeans. "Some science corporations specialize in designing new technology."
"He's right, you know." Another male voice said. The guy who spoke was Eternal Flames. He had white skin, long red hair, sapphire blue eyes and wore a black short-sleeved shirt with scarlet red long sleeves poking out through the shorter sleeves and had brown pants. "Science comes in all shapes and sizes and subjects."
"Perhaps if you studied a little better in science, you wouldn't be spouting that nonsense," yet another male voice called out. That voice belonged to another one of their friends, Israel Yabuki. He wore a long-sleeve blue shirt with tan pants, had bright yellow skin, silver white long hair, even had hazel green eyes.
"Hey! It's not my fault they made the subject so hard to understand?!" Rainbow countered.
"But it is your fault for not putting an effort to try and understand," Israel retorted.
"Come now, darling. There's no need to insult Rainbow so much," a posh voice intervened. They all turned around to see Rarity walking by with a smile on her face. "I'm sure she can learn science properly with the right tutor."
“The teachers just need to make it not sound like jumbled nonsense,” she groaned, leaning on the side of the bus.
“Or maybe ya need to pay more attention in science class,” a southern voice mentioned. The group turned around to see Applejack and Pinkie Pie standing beside her holding a camera. "All ya ever think about is sports an' the next upcomin' matches.”
“Oh and Rainbow Dash bad news,” Pinkie chimed in.
“What?”
"Your coach said if you don’t pass your next two exams, he’s gonna ax you from the team,” Pinkie added. Rainbow's face went pale hearing that and she was sweating up a storm.
“Okay, I seriously need to find a tutor,” she said in a panic voice. “I’d kill myself before getting axed from the team.”
“You know you can’t kill yourself right?” a stoic voice mentioned getting the girls attention. The last few to show up were Starlight Glimmer, Fluttershy, and Spike, Twilight's younger brother. “Especially since the team values you, Lightning Dust, and Spitfire and their star players.”
"Plus, you know how much I despise suicide," Israel said. "But anyways, I am curious about what kind of projects this corporation is working on."
"Well, I don't approve of how they experiment on poor, helpless animals. It's like they don't even care about what they think," Fluttershy said, disapprovingly.
"Oh, Fluttershy. I know it's hard for you to accept that, but there's nothing we can do. If we could, we'd probably free all of the animals there," Rarity said.
"Alright, students. Everyone climb aboard, take your seats. No shoving, please," Celestia said. The seniors, as instructed, all boarded the buses, taking their seats. As the girls boarded the bus, each of them cringed when they saw who was driving the bus. Twilight instantly recognized the familiar pine green haired man with matching pine green eyes and redwood colored skin.
"You…" Twilight said, squinting her eyes, disapprovingly.
"Twilight! Long time no see, right?" the guy said, trying not to make it awkward.
"Cut the flattery, Timber. What are you even doing here?" Twilight asked, frowning.
"Okay, look. I got fired from my lifeguard job and I needed to find a way to provide for the camp, so I took some lessons and became a bus driver. But at least now, I can give you a ride and be closer to you. You always did love talking abo--" Timber was then cut off.
"For the 100,000th time, no! And you getting fired as a lifeguard? No surprise there. You probably couldn't stop hitting on other girls, even when you and I used to be a thing. The sad truth is, Timber Spruce, is that you'll never change. I've found happiness again and my new boyfriend… he's always there when I need him." Twilight scolded before taking Heat's hand and bringing him to the back of the bus.
Timber was left shocked, but also quite jealous of the new guy she's dating. While he was fuming and looking in his mirror, trying to see Twilight, the other students blocked his way as they were all taking their seats. AS thy were taking their seats, Starlight sat with Sunset and Eternal Flames.
“What was that about?” Starlight asked in confusion as she turned to Sunset and Eternal.
“That guy driving the bus is named Timber Spruce,” Sunset said with a sigh. “He and Twilight used to date until that day back at the public beach when she caught him hitting on another girl.”
“Right, that was the day she ran to you crying,” Eternal mentioned, glaring back at Timber. “I ran over to that asshole and hit him hard enough to break his jaw.”
“Yeah, after that he introduced her to his brother Heat Blitz and they hit it off pretty well,” Sunset added. “I’ll bet he took this job just to try and take Twilight back.”
“He tries anything, I’ll do more than break his jaw,” Eternal added, cracking his knuckles. “He knows he can’t win in a fight against me.”
“And risk getting expelled?” Sunset said, holding his arm. “I’ll bet he knew that if you tried anything without evidence, you’d be out of her faster than he could blink. You almost got banned from the beach last time because of it.”
"A liar always gets theirs when they least expect it.” He added. “Didn’t you and Flash date awhile back?”
“Once when I was a jerk and we broke up, and the other where we wanted to start over, until things always got really awkward between us, even on a simple lunch date, so we simply broke up again after realizing we just… don't match,” Sunset admitted with a light blush on her face.
"How did he take it?" he asked.
"He actually took it better than Timber did with Twilight. He said he was fine that we were friends and we don't feel awkward with each other anymore. I guess Flash felt more like a brother to me than a boyfriend," Sunset said.
“I see. I'm glad things worked out in the end. Shall we?" Eternal asked, gesturing for his lady to sit down in one of the empty seats.
“Ah hope Twilight doesn’t get hurt after what happened last time,” Applejack added, sliding her hat to cover her face. Meanwhile, Twilight sighed to herself as she sat down with Heat Blitz.
“Hey Twilight, you okay?” Heat asked, holding Twilight's hand.
“Y-yeah, I’m fine,” she quietly said with a sigh. “Just something I don’t want to talk about.”
"Just let me know if you do need something. I'll do what I can to help," Heat says, patting her hand gently. Timber can see this and grows even more jealous, but keeps it to himself before turning on the bus and following the other buses. While traveling, most of the students were minding their own business and talking about what to expect on the trip. Eternal was keeping a close eye on Timber making sure he wasn’t trying anything, not only to protect Twilight, but his brother Heat Blitz as well. After awhile the bus began to slow down and the students began to notice the large and tall building With The FR logo on the towering building.
"So… this is it. They sure know how to draw in a crowd," Heat chuckled.
"I'll say. This place is huge!" Twilight said, wanting to fangirl again.
“It’s practically touching the sky, just how many floors do they have?” Sunset asked in shock.
“Well from what I’ve learned about them, their focus on military technology, space traven, environmental friendly workspaces and focusing on experimental treatments,” a student with a similar haircut to Twilight, but had creamy skin with red hair and purple streaks in it. She followed up by standing up and pushing the rim of her glasses on her face. “Their one of the lead donors in Canterlot City ever since Filthy Rich founded the company.”
“Quite a lovely introduction, Moondancer,” Vice Principal Luna said with a smile. “But can that wait until we arrive at the building?”
“Yes Ma’am,” Moondancer replied. She sat back down into the bus and soon as it arrived with the other two buses, it came to a halt and Luna stood up.
"Thank you. Now, everyone please exit the bus in a single file line, no shoving, no pushing, keep your hands and feet to yourselves, that includes the couples," Luna said, not messing around. Everyone got up from their seats and did as Luna instructed before exiting the bus. But when Heat was the last to exit, Timber shot him a dirty look, but Heat just ignored. He joined his brother, and their friends with the principal as they were waiting outside of the building.
“Okay class,” Principal Celestia said as she joined all of her students. “We will be entering the building soon, we just need to wait on a tour guide to arrive from inside. We may have passes, but it would still be considered trespassing without a guide. And remember to behave. We're all still guests here, so stay out of trouble. Is that clear?” The Classes agreed and waited on their guide to arrive. "Good, now everyone follow me."
Everyone other than the bus drivers followed their teachers and entered the building. Everyone walked in the building and what they saw inside amazed them. At first, there's a reception desk when everyone walked in, but behind the desk were a bunch of newly advanced technological equipment, ones that were thought to be made of science fiction, now turned into reality. Soon, a man with faded brown skin, blue eyes and black hair walks up to the class, wearing a navy blue business suit with a red necktie that had a dollar sign stitched to it. Next to the man was a woman with hot pink skin, dark violet hair, cyan eyes and had expensive golden jewelry on her, from her earrings, to her wedding ring and necklace. She wore a baby blue silk dress and dark violet trims.
And standing next to the man was Diamond Tiara, all dressed in her golden yellow coat and silver shirt and black skirt.
“Ah, you must be the Senior Class of Canterlot High,” the man spoke in a broad voice. “Welcome to Filthy Rich Corporation, where we’re constantly evolving for the future.”
“It is good to see you Filthy Rich,” Principal Celestia said with a smile.
"That's Mr. Rich to you, miss!" the woman corrected, snobbishly
“Now now Spoiled, their our guests, and they seem to be the friendly bunch,”
"Guests or not, they are to address us formally and properly," she persisted, keeping her snoot in the air.
'How can someone so snobbish look so damn hot?' Israel thought in his mind.
"Apologies for that. This here is my wife, Spoiled Rich. And of course, you know my daughter here, Diamond Tiara. My pride and joy," Filthy said.
“Oh, hi Diamond. What brings you here?" Heat asks nicely.
"Oh, that's right, today is "Bring Your Kid To Work" Day for the Freshmans. So instead of being at school, I'm here to see how my daddy does his work here." Diamond explained.
"Makes sense." Eternal said.
“Anyways, we’ll be giving a tour of the building and to show you all what the future will look like inside these walls,” he said as he walked over to a display and pushed a button. The sounds of an elevator activated and it was below the students as it was slowly rising up towards a floor above them. “And we’ll start with our space center research and development.”
Scientists working on unheard of technology ranging from moonrovers, spacesuits, drones, and spaceships designed for travel.
"If you think these are amazing, just wait until you see the top floor. That's where you'll find tech no man has ever dreamt of creating," Filthy said. The elevator soon stops and the doors open, revealing a display room with tech that one would only find in science fiction. "Right this way, if you please." he said, guiding the students and faculty. "If you'll direct your attention here, this is what we call the Neo-Cube." he shows the class this small little black cube with neon blue lights on each center. "This thing may be tiny, but one cube is enough to generate enough power to any rechargeable device in mere minutes. And you don't even have to plug it in."
“Would anyone like to volunteer?” Vice Principal Luna asked, rather intrigued at the device.
"Hmm… I'd like to. My phone's almost about to die and I forgot to charge it," Israel said, handing over his phone, which was at 12%. Luna took his phone and placed it near the cube. Filthy activated it and sure enough in probably 2 minutes or so, the cell phone was charged up to at least 87%.
"Whoa! Get a load of that!" Heat said in astonishment.
“That is amazing,” Twilight said in astonishment as she and Moondancer started taking notes of what was around them.
"Whoever invented this, I'd pay top dollar just to have one of these!" Rainbow said with a big smile on her face.
"You can thank one of our gifted scientists for this. But unfortunately, the product will not be shipped out to any store until the next 9 months so we can clear out the bugs," Filthy said.
“Ugh, lame…” she said in annoyance as she turned back to the class.
“Now now, let’s continue on with the tour and I promise you’ll be leaving satisfied,” Filthy said before the tour went on. "Now, over here, we have a display of what we call the Hypno-Ray. Now to some people, it just looks like a laser pen. But by flipping the switch here…"
“Hey Eternal,” Sunset mentioned as he pulled onto his arm. “Why don’t we look around and have our own tour?”
"Isn't that against the rules?" Eternal whispered.
“Come on, isn’t this pen thing boring to hear?” Sunset said, giving him a pouting face.
Eternal almost died from her cute, pouty face and then sighed. "Okay, but let's hurry back or we'll get in trouble,"
“Sweet,” she said with a smile. “I already have a map of the building on my phone, so we can look around and get ahead, before anyone finds us.”
“Okay then, lead the way,” he whispered. While they were sneaking away, the Hypno-Ray that Filthy was demonstrating wound up bugging up and then created a flash blue light that ended up hypnotizing everyone on the tour and putting them to sleep.
“So glad we snuck away from that little mishap,” Sunset said as she and Eternal walked towards another room.
"True. I would've been all messed up if that thing put me to sleep this early," Eternal nodded. “So where do you want to go first?”
“Why don’t we check this enclosure on the fifth floor?” she said pointing towards her phone that showed the room with a closed door.
"Hmm… I suppose it couldn't hurt." Eternal said. Sunset and Eternal had to move quietly to avoid some staff that was walking through some of the areas until they made it to the fifth floor.
“Hey, I think we found the room,” Sunset said pointing towards the two swinging doors with glass, circular windows and a golden metal spider welded on each door.
“Considering the two golden Spiders on it, I’m not surprised,” Eternal said with a sigh. “Isn’t this the room where they use the Spider’s Silk to make a special strong rope or something?”
“Couldn't hurt to see what’s here,” Sunset said. She took him by the hand and guided him inside the room where they spotted hundreds of spider enclosures and a few people taking a look at the exhibits, learning about their traits.
“Woah, this is huge,” Sunset said with shock on her face. “Just how many spiders do they have in here?”
"Beats me. Also, regarding what you said earlier… that's what she said,'' Eternal joked. Sunset chuckled and patted her boyfriend's cheek lightly.
"You're funny, you know that?" Sunset asked. “Let’s look around and see what other spiders are around here.”
"Alright then,” Eternal said with a smile. He and Sunset began to look around each of the spiders that were in each of the enclosures. One spider they checked out had a unique jumping agility, perfect for catching prey.
"This spider kinda reminds me of you, baby," Sunset chuckled.
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Eternal asked.
"Because of the way it pounces. It's just like how you pounce on me when we got laid on our 18th birthday. I'll never forget that wild adventure," Sunset reminded.
“Yeah, but we still have to graduate High School before we have a full adventure you know,” Eternal added as he hugged Sunset close. Suddenly a crash was heard getting their attention as well as the attention of other individuals around them. The sounds of a frantic scientist rushing over to the enclosure that broke that had a group of spiders running around.
“What was that?”
“Came from whoever’s over there,” Eternal said. The couple looked over to find that some of the spiders had escaped from the glass enclosure the scientist was carrying after he accidentally dropped the thing.
"Didn't I tell you to hold that thing still? Quick! Get all the spiders as soon as possible and don't let ANY of them escape!" scientist #1 said.
“I’m sorry everyone, we’re going to have to ask you all to leave currently, an accident has occurred, and we need to deal with it accordingly,” a tour guide said.
“Well this sucks,” Sunset said in annoyance, as she puffed her cheeks. “I wanted to see more of these things.”
“Well we can’t see any more if we catch whatever they have, so let’s go. We can head to your house after school to do something fun, is that alright with you?” he asked.
“Would be nice,” Sunset added as she and Eternal left. Unknown to either of them, two spiders managed to slip away from the scientists in the lab and slowly crawl on the legs of both Sunset and Eternal Flames. After awhile, Sunset and Eternal managed to slip right back up to the top floor with the rest of the class unnoticed, as Filthy Rich was speaking to everyone about what just happened.
“Again, I’m mighty sorry about this ma’am, I wasn’t expecting it to bug out that fast,” Filthy Rich explained.
“It's quite alright, we know that it was an accident,” Principal Celestia said with a sigh, as she looked at everyone.
"That's right. It just means there's room for improvement. Rome wasn't built in a day," Twilight said with understanding.
"Right you are, young lady, right you are," Filthy said. “But I’m sorry to say that we’ll have to cut this tour short. I received word from some of my employees that an accident occurred down in the 5th floor. So, until we take care of whatever happened downstairs, I'm afraid we'll have to stop the tour a little early.”
“We understand,” Vice Principal Luna agreed as she turned to the rest of the class. “Sorry everyone, we’ll have to go back to campus because of an accident that occured downstairs.”
Most of the seniors groaned in disappointment as they were just getting into the tour and wanting to see more of the technology the corporation had. Sadly, there was nothing they could do, so they agreed to go back to the buses. Sunset and Eternal blended back in with the group and pretended as if nothing happened to them.
“Wow, glad we managed to sneak back over here,” Sunset said with a sigh. “How much trouble do you think we would’ve gotten in if we got caught?”
"Probably enough to get suspended for a few days maximum. A week of detention at minimum. You know how my aunt can be over the top." Eternal whispered.
“That's true. I don't think she knows the meaning of the phrase "holding back." But anyways, hey, Heat, Twilight, you guys okay?” Sunset asked, as she noticed Twilight and Heat.
"Okay? OKAY? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness humanity's evolution in technology and have to leave this beautiful place because of an emergency!" Twilight whined, having a major meltdown as they were leaving.
"Calm down, Twily. I know it sucks, but maybe we'll come back next time. Or if we're lucky, Israel can make similar tech and show us how it works. He's been working very hard as a scientist and an engineer," Heat tried to cheer her up.
"Oh, is that right?" Filthy asked. "Forgive me for listening in on your conversation, but did you say one of your friends is an inventor?"
"Hmm?" Heat asked before seeing Filthy up close. "Oh, that's right. Israel's been putting in most of his extra freetime into making new inventions. But since he doesn't have a good budget, he's mostly helped out with fixing stuff."
"Like the time he fixed the amplifier for my guitar!" Rainbow chimed in.
"Or the time he helped Big Mac fix the truck," Applejack added.
"My, sounds like he's a handy young man. Perhaps if he goes to college, I might consider offering him a position at my company," Filthy said proudly.
"I'll think about it when deciding my career, sir. Thank you for the offer," Israel said.
Filthy Rich chuckled proudly before wishing everyone a farewell as they left the building and arrived at the buses.
“Alright everyone, on the buses, single file as well,” Principal Celestia said as she watched the students do as instructed. They boarded the bus one at a time, then when it came for Heat to walk inside, Timber shot a nasty grin at him. Heat found it strange, but shook his head at Timber's childish attitude. He went to go and take his seat, then reached under the seat to get his backpack. He pulls it out and opens it up.
Heat rummages through his backpack, looking for something, but when he checked inside, he couldn't find what he was looking for and panicked. "What the? Where is it? I know I had it in here when I left! Where'd it go?" Heat asked.
"Uh, Heat, what's the matter?" Eternal asked.
"Remember that gift I bought for Twilight?" Heat whispered and Eternal nodded. "Well, it's gone and I…" he paused when he recalled something from earlier. "...I think I have a pretty good feeling what happened. Can you let mom know when the time is right?"
"Yeah, sure. No problem," Eternal nodded before they all took their seats. Once everyone boarded the buses, the drivers headed off, driving the students back to school.
The buses finally make it back and a bunch of disappointed seniors climb out, heading back to their regular classes, but… for Heat Blitz, he stopped right next to Timber and looked down to find a familiar small box. Knowing Timber, the man probably emptied it out, taking the gift. Heat glimpses at Timber and sees something silver and shiny tucked in his shirt collar.
"What? You're at school, get off," Timber urged, getting anxious.
"Not until I get all of my stuff out," Heat shook his head.
"What do you call all that?" Timber gestured to his backpack.
"This is only most of my stuff. But there's one item missing and I'm sure you know what I'm talking about," Heat said.
"U-Uh… nope, not a clue," Timber denied, sweating bullets.
"Don't play coy with me, I know you have it," Heat said sternly.
"Is there a problem here, son?" Celestia asked, walking inside the bus.
"N-No, there's no problem… right?" Timber asked Heat, wanting him to play along.
"If there's no problem, then why are you sweating so much?" Heat asked. "Oh right. Mom, did I tell you I forgot something on here?"
"Well, go ahead and look for it, but you don't wanna be late for classes," Celestia said.
"I would, but… the sad thing is… Timber took what I was looking for," Heat said, now causing Timber to get a bit more nervous.
"Y-You don't have any proof I took anything from you. Show it to me," he's gonna regret saying that after Heat's done with him.
"Fine, but you leave me with no choice," Heat said before pulling out a receipt. "This is a receipt I kept on me from yesterday when I visited an antique store. And if I'm not mistaken, that little gift box by your feet and that shiny thing tucked in your shirt look exactly like the items I bought just yesterday. So tell me… why do you have them?"
Timber was sweating buckets at this point, looking back and forth, but it was only a matter of time before the man cracked. "Okay, okay! Here, take the stupid stuff!" he exclaimed before taking the gift, putting it back in the little gift box and throwing it at Heat, which he catches with one hand.
Celestia, looked down at the young man disapprovingly, glaring at his criminal actions. "I'm going to have a long talk with your superiors for stealing my son's possessions. You'll never change… not in a million years," she said in a deep, stern tone. "Heat, you may go now."
"Sure thing, mom. See ya," Heat said as he put the gift back in his backpack and headed off while Celestia stayed behind to make an important phone call. Heat then returned to Sunset, Eternal, and Twilight who he was glad to meet.
“What took you so long?” Sunset asked in confusion.
“Oh, just left some stuff on the bus, but everything's good now," Heat replied with a chipper, happy tone.
“You sound in a happy mood bro, what’s up?”
“Just something I’ve been meaning to give to my girlfriend earlier,” Heat said with a smile.
“What do you mean?” Twilight asked. Sunset and Eternal stood back and watched Heat work his magic as he pulled out the gift box from his backpack and handed it to Twilight. "For me?" she gasped.
"Go ahead, Twilight. Open it," Heat encouraged. Twilight instantly opened it up and gasped happily when she found a beautiful silver necklace with a locket attached to it. Inside the locket was a cute little music box that played a beautiful melody once it was opened. Twilight's eyes widened as her ears took in the most heart-warming melody she's ever heard.
"Aww, shucks. I'm glad you liked it, Twilight. I thought of you the whole time when I bought that necklace for you," Heat chuckled nervously.
"Well, I love it very much. Thanks again, Heat," Twilight replied before laying a kiss on his lips. Most of the class watched and gave out "awws" of approval, happy for the young couple. Meanwhile Sunset and Eternal watched the both of them and smiled.
"Aww, that's so sweet. It's so nice to see the-- OW!" Sunset exclaimed when a sharp pain jolted from her hand.
"Sunset? What's the ma- GAH!!!" Eternal exclaimed, feeling the same pain on his own hand before both looked at their own hands. They saw two spiders and bite marks, so they shook them off, which made both spiders fall and land safely on the grass. "That smarts!"
"Sunset? Eternal? Is something wrong?" Celestia asked, going over to her oldest son and his girlfriend, checking up on them.
"Not really, we just got bitten by a couple of spiders," Sunset replied before groaning in pain. Celestia took a look at each of their bite marks and saw them swell a bit.
"Oh dear. Well… I suppose I could arrange for you two call in early, but be sure to have those wounds looked after as much as possible," Celestia said. "Are you feeling any symptoms?"
"Aside from the pain of the bites, no. But I don't wanna take chances and get the others sick."
“Same here,” Sunset added as she looked at Eternal. “Think you can drive to my place?”
"Yeah. I can drive. Sorry for the inconvenience, mom," Eternal said.
Celestia shook her head side to side. "Don't worry about it. You just go and get some rest. Get well soon, okay?" Her son nodded before he grabbed Sunset by the hand, taking her over to his car which is a red 1997 Acura NSX.
“We’ll see you guys later,” Sunset told their friends who gave them waves as Eternal unlocked his car. They get inside and buckle up before driving off. When they left the school grounds, Twilight turned to Heat Blitz.
“What do you think bit them?” she asked Heat.
“Not sure, but knowing my bro, he’d rather not take any chances,” he added. They then hear a frustrated Timber behind them as he is being taken by Vice Principal Luna to the office. “Just like I’d rather not take chances with that asshole being on school grounds. What history do you have with him?”
“I’d rather not talk about it,” she said with a sigh. “It’s more...personal reasons…”
“I understand, that's fine. I won't pry any further," he added as both he and Twilight walked back to the school.
-Meanwhile-
"Hey, babe. What kind of spiders bit us when we saw them?" Sunset asked.
"I don't know, but I'm not taking any chances. We're heading to the hospital to get these things checked out." Eternal replied.
"You got a point there. By the way, after our trip to the hospital, why don't you stay the night at my place? It'll be a lot easier for the both of us to keep an eye on each other for any symptoms that may occur," she offered.
"Sounds good to me. I could use some rest after this little accident," Eternal replied.
Luckily for them, there was a clinic nearby, so they didn't have to worry about long travels. They got their wounds checked out and turned out, Sunset got bit by a black widow, so the doctors gave her some medicine that might help keep poison at bay until it dies down. Eternal, on the other hand, got bit by a burglarized spider. The bite wasn't as serious, but he was gonna feel a little woozy after some time.
After getting their wounds checked out, they left the clinic and made it back safely at Sunset's apartment where Eternal parked the car safely. Soon, they get out and lock the car doors and towards the front door.
“Glad we got home in time,” Sunset added as she pulled out her key and put it into the door. “You can spend the night at my place till these spider bites clear up for us. Can’t risk infecting the whole school right?”
“You said a mouthful babe,” Eternal said as he followed Sunset inside her apartment. Sunset’s apartment wasn’t big, but it wasn’t small either. Being a two bedroom apartment if she ever had guests visiting, it was more of a quiet non luxurious apartment. She had a big living room in the center with a wide recliner couch, a kitchen on the far left, staircase on the right leading to the upstairs bathroom, and two bedrooms right next to one another upstairs.
“Sorry it’s such a mess, I haven’t cleaned up for a week after getting some new school gear,” she admitted with a blush.
“No worries,” He said with a smile. “So, you got anything we can chow down on for the medication?”
“I have some instant noodles for right now if that’s okay,” she added.
"Sure. I can go for some instant noodles," Eternal nodded.
“Which kind do you want?” she asked, reaching into her cabinet. “I have chicken, shrimp, teriyaki and jalapeno.”
"I'll have some spicy jalapeno noodles," Eternal replied.
"Sure thing. Coming right up," she nodded before heading into the kitchen. Meanwhile, Eternal walked over to the couch, then suddenly felt a little itchy. He scratches his arm where his hand got bit. Then surely, he felt his vision getting blurry, then almost lost his balance.
“Whoa, Eternal you okay?” Sunset asked, worried for him. She didn’t open any packets and she put down the pot, turned off the gas and went over and walked over to her lover. Sunset catches him before setting him down gently on the couch.
"C-Can't… stand or… see straight. Can… barely stay awake," Eternal replied, trying to fight off the urge to pass out.
“I think the bite is starting to affect you, I need to get your medi...medi..cine…” Sunset began to trail off as she felt her body heating up. “D...damn...I think this is starting to affect me…”
“G...get...our...medi...cation…”
"C...Can… do. . ." Sunset replied before suddenly collapsing on the couch next to Eternal. Her entire body felt heavy and tired as well as hot. She clinged to her lover, trying to stay awake and get their medication. But to no avail as both lovers soon passed out in each other's arms. Both of them thought that they were going to die, but little did they know was that their lives were going to take a drastic change.
