The problem with the missing children is only getting worse. More parents have reported thier kids myteriously vanishing without a trace, no one knows where, but are certain these kids are still alive. All parents who were asked said the house they lived in did not look like it was broken into. No broken window, no broken down door. As the problem started to get worse, renowned scientist and inventor Rose told everyone she had sent out an investigation team to look out for them.
"Just stay calm everyone!" she had told them. "We'll find them and you'll reunite with your loved ones!"

Somewhere within the apartment complex of Canterlot City was home to some of the most vicious gang members in the city. The apartment itself was run down. 5 stories, definitley not high quality looking. A car pulled up in the parking lot: Chance's car. He got out and went to the back where he bought out a big bag. He put it over his shoulders. He knew he was supposed to be on the lookout for Berry, but he figured the kid wasn't going to show up anytime soon, so he might as well do a bit of selling. He went to the apartment and walked up the three flight of stairs. He approached a door. He knocked on it 2 times, then 5, and then 1. It was a secret way so there would be little chance of getting caught. The door opened to reveal a man, probably in his late thirties. He had on a hoodie, ripped jeans, and athletic shoes. He was light skinned and had black hair.
"What you want?" He asked in a threatening manner. Behind him his thugs looked ready to attack. Chance coolly walked in. He gave a small smile.

"Hey now, Ace, I'm not the enemy here right?" I came to see if you'd buy these." He walked to the living room with the bag still in his right hand. He set it down on the table. He motioned Ace to open it. "Why don't you take a look inside?" The leader carefully walked towards the bag. Placing his hands on the zipper he unzipped and opened the bag. Then, he turned it upside down, and dumped the contents on the table. It was a bunch of dangerous weapons, but they weren't normal. These were highly technologically advanced. Grenades, plasma pistols, deathrays, and even sniper beam rifles. These were some of the most lethal weapons.
"Pretty neat, aren't they?" Chance asked with a smug. Ace took one of the death rays and held it in his hand.
"So this is supposed to be a one-shot kill?" he asked. Chance nodded. "Yes, I am very positive on that." Ace then picked up a sniper beam. He went out to the balcony and aimed in the air acting like he was going to shoot. He went back inside.

"Do you like it?" Chance asked. Ace smiled.
"Love it." He whistled for one of his men to bring out a bag. He set it down on the table and Chance opened it. Inside were wads of cash, all filled with stacks of 100s. He grinned to himself and took the bag.
"Thanks for you're time, enjoy your new weapons." He waved goodbye and left with the money bag in his hand. He got in his car and drove off again. When he got to a red light, his phone started buzzing. He answered it.
"Mhm, I don't think he's shown up yet so I decided to give these weapons while I waited....Yes they accepted them and I got the cash...Starlight is working just perfectly, it seems like nothing can stop her...Ok I'll call you back if I have anything else to report. He hung up just as the light turned green and he coninued driving back to Canterlot Theater.

*flashback*
*one year ago*
Berry woke up from his cell. It was a dark room, and with no clocks he didn't know what time of the day it was. He groaned as he got out of his bed. It wasn't an ideal comfy one but it was perhaps the most luxurious thing there was in the cell. It had a torn matress and the legs looked so old and scratched. Two guards came and opened the cell door. They escorted him to a room. In it were average adult sized dummies. It was the training room. Where people like Berry would work on thier powers. He groaned. He had done this since he was five. He walked inside the room and raised his hands. The dummy flew back knocking the others. He then motioned his hands to the right and the dummies flew across the room to the right. He raised his hands in the the air and did a fast smack down in the air. The dummies rose up and smacked down hard on the floor.
"Nicely done," One of the guard said. Training went on for awhile. Agility, speed, technique were all used. When they were done, they escorted Berry back to his cell. His sister was there too. She was two years old, asleep on the bed. She was so young so they didn't put any powers in her yet. She started to wake up. She then started to cry, so Berry quickly thought of a way to shush her. He went towards her and put his arms around his sister.

"shhh it's ok, Lily..." the poor girl kept on crying softly as she buried her head on his belly and hugged his waist. Berry kneeled down to her level and looked at her.
"I know you don't like it here, but I don't know where else we can go...." He himself felt like crying too. This place was not a nice one. Children like him were very vulnerable to abuse, and once they have "outlived" thier time here, they were going to be sold into trafficking. The thought made him furious. He wanted to send the person responsible for this flying through five walls.
