Sunset Shimmer had just gotten back to her Gotham City apartment building so she could just cry her heart out and drown her sorrows in alcohol. Even though she had moved into a new town and tried to start a new life, she had still not gotten over the physical and psychological trauma that she was, well, forced really, to endure at the hands of her classmates. Even when she tried to sleep, she could still hear the laughter of her evil classmates from outside her apartment window, like they were waiting to finally end her life. But every-time she went to check, she saw nothing as she knew that it was just her mind slowly turning to mush. She would usually huddle into a corner of her bedroom and spend the rest of the night crying, but this time she had finally had enough, as she stormed out of her apartment room and out in the cold rain as she looked at the sky almost she was looking out into the heavens. Even awake she could still hear that horrid laughter emanating from every direction, Sunset always's wondered why she had to suffer still and why God hasn't come to free her from this mental torture. It was almost like God had forsaken her, almost like God was playing a cruel joke on her, and she was the punchline. Sunset couldn't hear the rain drops anymore, all she could was the laughter and the jeering and judging voices of all her classmates. "PLEASE STOP IT, WHY WON'T YOU LEAVE ME ALONE!" Sunset screamed hysterically. "STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT STOP ITTTT!!!" Then, when Sunset opened her eyes she saw that she was in some kind of factory or plant or something like that. Then she saw that she was facing a vat of green liquid that was bubbling. Then the vat transformed into the face of a clown, as it began to cackle maniacally as a swarm of hands were pushing her into the vat, Sunset tried to fight it off but to no avail, her attempts were proven useless. The hands finally dropped her off the ledge she was on as she was then engulfed by the mouth of madness. Thank goodness it was only a nightmare as Sunset woke up screaming as she saw that she was once again in the safety of her room, but this brought the poor teenager no comfort as she knew that if she fell asleep again she would just have to go through that hell all over again. Sunset instead just spent the rest of her evening crying at her bedside just hoping that the next day wouldn't get as bad or worse. The next day, Sunset had come to a deli near her apartment so that she could quickly grab a to-go order and leave so that no one would have to even acknowledge her presence at all. However as she was leaving, she didn't notice that Gilda and her cronies were there and they were looking right at Sunset as she was leaving the deli. "Well well well, this is where Sunset Bummer has been this whole time," Gilda said as she grew a sadistic smile. "I don't really care if those Cmc's were really Anon-A-Miss all this time, making Sunset's life miserable has just felt so good." "You know what, I'm done humiliating her, I think its time we cut her out of the picture permanently," Gilda said as her cronies all nodded their heads in agreement as they quietly followed Sunset to her apartment complex. They then hid under a bush as she went inside her apartment complex. They had to wait for three hours before Sunset finally left her room so that she could get some dinner. Gilda then slipped out from the bushes in some kind of twisted clown mask so that she could hide her identity. Her cronies identical clown masks. They followed Sunset throughout 5-10 blocks before they finally got behind her. Gilda then tapped Sunset's shoulder and as she turned around she saw the people in clown masks, and it immediately raised red-flags. "Who are you, what do you want," Sunset asked with a worried tone in her voice. "Please, I've had a really hard day today, so please just leave me alone, I don't have any money." "We don't want money," Gilda said. "What we want is revenge on you Anon-A-Miss." When Sunset heard what she said she tried to run, but she was immediately knocked out by a Crowbar. Gilda then saw a building that said in big letters, Ace Chemical Plant. "Hey boy's, take her to that chemical plant, over there," Gilda said. "You got it boss," One of her cronies said with a smirk. "Wait, what if Batman comes after us," Another Crony said. "So what if the big bad Batman comes after us, we have guns," Gilda said. "What's the worst he could do?" "Oh, I don't know, he might break through a window and smash our faces in," The goon said. "Alright, can you just shut the fuck up," Gilda said. "You're stressing me out!" When Sunset woke up, she saw that she was facing a similar green vat of chemicals. "Gilda, where am I," Sunset asked. "You're in Ace Chemicals, Genius," Gilda said. "Besides, I didn't think that you would actually have come all this way to Gotham City." "Please, don't hurt me, I'm not Anon-A-Miss," Sunset Pleaded. "Oh, we know that you're not Anon-A-Miss," Gilda said. "The Cmc's confessed everything, but really, we just don't care. I've been waiting a long time for this moment to occur, where I can finally get rid of you for good." "Please don't do this, what will killing me accomplish for any of you," Sunset asked. "Well, nothing really, it's just that causing innocent people misery just feels so damn good," Gilda said as she was slowly pushing her towards the vat." "Wait Miss Gilda," One of her Cronies said. "Let's put this clown mask on her just to show how much of a joker she really is." "Yeah, great idea," Gilda said as she put the mask over Sunset head as she continued crying and pleading for them to stop. "Alright got the mask on, even though we already put make-up on her," Gilda said. "Alright, ready to drop her into the vat boy's," Gilda said. "Yep, we're ready boss," the goons said. "Alright, 1...2..." Before they could do anything, the doors were suddenly burst open and flooded with police officers. "Alright, Gilda, this is the GCPD, let go of the hostage and put your hands behind your head," Rainbow-Dash said. "Rainbow-Dash," Sunset thought to herself as she recognized her former friends voice. "GO TO HELL, DASH!" Gilda said as she and her goons started opening fire. This made Rainbow and the rest of the officers start to open fire as well, actually hitting two of the four goons. "STOP," An unknown voice said from the shadows, which was then revealed to be The Legendary Batman. "Don't shoot, I'll do things my way." The Batman then knocked out one of the goons while the last one took off running. "You cowards, kill the stupid Bat," Gilda roared. "I'm getting out of here, screw you Gilda," The Goon said as he disappeared through the door. Gilda finally was at the peak of her frustrations, as she grabbed Sunset by her neck. "Don't you come any closer, Bat-Freak, or I'll dump this bitch in the vat," Gilda said. "I've been waiting for revenge for 5 years and I'm not letting some guy dressed as a Bat fuck this up for me!" "You have two options Gilda, let her go or you're jail sentence is going to be worse than breaking and entering," Batman said. "Don't you lecture me Batman," Gilda roared. "ALRIGHT, I'VE HAD ENOUGH!" Before Gilda could react, Rainbow shot Gilda in the leg, Gilda let Sunset go as she screamed in pain. Batman then swooped in to try and get the hostage out of harms way. "It's ok, you're safe now," Batman said as he tried to reach for Sunset. "I'm here to help you." However, Sunset was still delirious from a mixture of impact of the crowbar to her head and the fumes from the chemical vat, and what she saw instead of Batman was a giant man-bat creature with green glowing eyes. What she heard him say was, "I'm here to kill you!" "No, stay away from me, don't come any closer, you monster," Sunset said in her state of demented stupor. "I have to get away," Sunset said as she saw the vat of chemicals. "No, stop," Batman said. "Don't do it!" "Have to...GET AWAY FROM IT!" Sunset said as she jumped over the ledge and down into the chemical bath. Sunset never resurfaced. "Drain the vat, she may still be down there," Batman ordered two GCPD officers, however when they drained the Chemical Pool, they found nothing, except for a burned clown mask "No, I was too late," Batman said with a face of pity. "I'm sorry, I couldn't save you." "Don't worry Batman, we'll make sure this punk spends a long time in a cell in Black-Gate," Commissioner Gordon said as two officers escorted her and three of her goons into a patrol car. Meanwhile, in the shoreline of The Gotham City Beach, a couple were walking close to the shoreline as they were enjoying their 7th wedding anniversary together, that was until they saw what appeared to be a body drifting towards the shoreline. "Honey, call the life-guard," The wife said. When the life-guard saw the body, he then called the Gotham state hospital, and when the recovered the girl and brought her to a hospital room, they noticed that her skin was now bleached white as snow, and her hair was now completely emerald green, she almost looked like a circus clown. "Mmm," Sunset murmured as she woke up. "Aww, You're finally awake, we almost thought that we had lost you," The doctor said. "Where am I, Who am I," Sunset said as she started to look around her surroundings. "You're in The Gotham City Hospital," One of the nurses said. "Wait, you don't know who you are?" "No, I can't really remember anything," Sunset said as she was rubbling her head. "Ok Doctor, she has Amnesia," The Nurse said. "Probably a psychological after-effect from all the chemicals she had." Then Sunset saw her face, and started laughing a little. "Miss, is something wrong," The Nurse asked. "No, nothing's wrong, it's just my face makes me look like one of those Jokers you see in a deck of playing cards," Sunset said. "I was just laughing because it kinda made me look a little silly looking, ha ha ha ha," Sunset said as it made her laugh again. "Alright, well the adds another one officer," The Doctor said as The Officer had a notepad that had three names on it, "The Criminal, The Comedian, and The Clown." He then put in a second name, "The Patient." Chapter 1: Sunset Shimmer (The Patient) A surprise visitSunset Shimmer was in her hospital room eating from a Granny Smith Apple just as Nurse Red-Heart entered her room. "Good Morning," Nurse Red-Heart said as she came in with supplies. "Good morning Nurse," The Patient said. "Thank you for the food." "I'm glad that you like it," Red-Heart said with a smile. "By the way, you have a visitor." "Who is he," The Patient said. "I heard that he's some kind of comedian," Red-Heart said. "He goes to children's hospitals all across Gotham for charity and he likes to tell his jokes to all the kids. The kids just love him." "Ok," The Patient said with a kind smile. Then both of them heard a knock on the door. "Come in," Nurse Red-Heart said. Then the comedian appeared as he opened the door. "Hello there," The Comedian said. "My Name is Joseph Kerr, I heard about the accident at Ace Chemicals, I hope you're feeling really well today Sun..." Before Joseph Kerr could finish, The patient turned to him and said. "Could you call me Joker, that name makes me feel better." "It's ok, I understand," Joseph said. "We all just live in a world where sane and rational people are just more spread out than people like us, they just don't understand a lot of the things people like us think about." "It's like I've alway's said, some people can just simply go insane with just one bad day." "I bet," The Patient said, still eating her apple. "You know, this kinda reminds me of a joke I used to tell to people, but no one ever got the joke, I'm sure that you won't be able to get it either," Joseph Kerr said. "Hey, I bet I will, please tell me," The Patient said in a curious tone of voice. "Alright, alright, I'll tell you the joke," Joseph Kerr said. "Sigh, Alright, here goes nothing." “See, there were these two guys in a lunatic asylum... and one night, one night they decide they don't like living in an asylum any more. So one night, They decide they're going to escape! So, like, they get up onto the roof, and there, just across this narrow gap, they see the rooftops of the town, stretching away in the moon light... stretching away to freedom. Now, the first guy, he jumps right across with no problem. But his friend, his friend didn't dare make the leap. Y'see... Y'see, he's afraid of falling. So then, the first guy has an idea... He says 'Hey! I have my flashlight with me! I'll shine it across the gap between the buildings. You can walk along the beam and join me!' B-but the second guy just shakes his head. He suh-says... He says 'Wh-what do you think I am? Crazy? You'd turn it off when I was half way across!” At first there was no response, making Joseph Kerr have an embarrassed look on his face, "Darn it, I blew the Punch-Line again," Joseph Kerr said under his breath. Suddenly, Sunset then bursted into a fit of laughter. "That's the funniest Joke I've ever heard," The Patient said as she continued laughing. "Wow, you're the first person who actually got the joke," Joseph Kerr said as he started to smile. "Hold on a minute." "Nurse Red-Heart," Joseph said, as she turned to face him. "I would like to ask if she could come over to my home. "There are other children there that are just like her that suffer from the same affliction, and I think the other children are going to love her. "That is fine with me," Nurse Red-Heart said. "As long as her Doctor say's that it's ok." "Oh thank you so much," Joseph said. Just as the Doctor gave Joseph Kerr permission, he then escorted Sunset by Wheel-Chair to his car so that she could be sent to her new home. "Don't worry, once we're home, you'll be safe from those who would want to hurt you," Joseph said to Sunset, who was asleep while sitting in the backseat. (This will continue with Chapter 2: Meeting the other Jokers). Author's Note Chapter 2: A Maddening Trip down Memory Lane, The Comedy Begins"Ahh, home at last," Joseph Kerr said as he parked his car near a purple and green-painted house known as The Gotham Clown-House. "Wanna hear a little fun fact, This used to be the old Gotham City State Orphanage until it was abandoned in 1986 after a caretaker named Lazlo Valentine went crazy and chopped up his entire staff with an ax, plus two of the children that lived there." "What happened to Mr. Valentine," The Patient said. "No one knows, he disappeared before the police could apprehend him," Joseph Kerr said. "But let's not think about an old Gotham Folktale, let's think about what's happening right here right now." Joseph then knocked on the door and said, "Oh honey, I'm home." "Coming Mr. J," A woman's voice said from the other side of the door. Then the door opened to reveal a blonde-haired woman with glasses and a white coat. "Oh, this is Dr. Harleen Quinzel," Joseph Kerr said. "She helps with not only taking care of the children but also helping them recover from any mental trauma they may have faced in their childhood." "Dr. Quinzel is there a spare bedroom for her to sleep in," Joseph Kerr asked. "Yes, there is a room available for her," Harleen said. "She can be Twilight's Bunk-Mate." "Twilight," The Patient said to herself. "Why does that name sound so familiar?" "Now Child, please give me a minute," Joseph Kerr said. "I need to go to the restroom to change, finally be rid of this make-up and black hair dye." "Oh, I think you should change clothes as well," Joseph Kerr said. "Unless you wanted to go out in public wearing that hospital gown." "Ok," The Patient said as she went into the bathroom in her bedroom. Then she saw Twilight sitting in her bed quietly giggling to herself while petting a baby Spotted Hyena she named Spike. She also saw an orange-haired girl who had a horrid Glasgow smile, the name on her bed said, "Adagio Dazzle." When she entered, she saw that there were clothes already neatly folded and waiting for her. The clothes were a green undershirt with a purple Biker Jacket and purple Biker Pants, followed by a piece of red lipstick. "Well, as they always say, The Clothes make the man, or is it the Clown," The Patient snickered to herself as she changed out of her hospital gown and into the clothes on the sink counter. As she did so, she began to regain her memories, and what pain was as unbearable then regaining bad memories. She remembered her name, Sunset Shimmer, she remembered the cause of her present predicament, Anon-A-Miss, She even remembered all of her old classmates' bullying and jeers towards her. Sunset clung to her head as the mouth of madness began to envelop her completely, making her body quiver as she laughed maniacally while doing so, as she realized that friendship was nothing but a cold cruel joke put on her. It was all just a dark twisted demented gag. Once she had gotten into her new clothes and biker attire, she applied the red lipstick, and once that was done, her smile then resembled that of a devilish clown. She then wanted to change her name because she thought the name Patient wouldn't be threatening enough, so she changed it to The Punk. "Lookin good Sunset, Lookin good," The Punk said. "You're gonna knock them dead...literally, heh heh heh." The Punk then saw a Barbed Wire Baseball Bat sitting next to the place where she found the clothes, and once she got it she left the changing room. "So Mr. J, how do I look," The Punk said. Joseph Kerr turned around to reveal white skin and green hair, and he was now wearing a purple suit. "Oh kiddo, you look perfect," Joseph said. "Oh and you don't need to call me Joseph Kerr, that was just an alias, just take away a few letters, rearrange a few, and you get...JOKER, HAHAHAHAHAHA," The Joker said. "Yes but, who is the Joker really," The Punk said. "Because I think we both realize that The Joker is not just a single individual, but is an idea and a philosophy of pure madness, hahaha." "Yes, exactly," The Comedian said. "However, all those sane and rational bottom-feeders would think otherwise," The Punk said. And they would rather bully, jeer, and shame us to the point where we would just sit near a corner, crying and begging for the suffering to end...just like what they did to poor little Sunset Shimmer, she's dead because of them, and in her ashes, a new Joker is born." "However, this tale isn't a tragedy, it's going to end in a comedy...well, for me that is," The Punk said with a maniacal grin. "And soon all those responsible will pay for the actions that destroyed Sunset Shimmer." The Punk then got out her phone and wanted to send a little message to her old friends and spread this message worldwide. (As Sunset was in a private room, she started the audio recording) Hello, my old friends, Long-Time-no-see, I guess most of you may have forgotten the name of whose talking to you right now is, if not, then that makes me very happy. I guess you all heard about the accident that occurred in ACE Chemicals the other day? Yeah, I remember it too all too well, heh heh heh, you all must have been laughing your little heads off huh? I know you were and I know how that feels all too well. It's contagious, isn't it, laughing at the poor and defenseless, well guess what shitheads, now the Jokes are on you. The Jokes are on all of you. I hope that all of you are prepared for the fun and happy days that are ahead for all of you, Especially you Rainbow-Dash, aka Captain of the GCPD. Soon Sunset Shimmer will be avenged, and all those that are responsible will pay for all those heinous acts and crimes that destroyed Sunset Shimmer, and the ones who destroyed the rest of us shall suffer as well. You all better get ready, because The Jokerz are coming for all of you. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! With Smiles, Your former friend, Sunset Shimmer. "Before we go, I would like to introduce you to the Head Honcho who started this whole Joker Gig in the first place," The Comedian said. "Say hello to the Criminal." The Punk then saw an older man wearing a purple trench coat. "Well, it is a pleasure to finally meet you, my new Joker," The Criminal said. "Let's hope you make a great advancement to serve our goal, to show everyone in this wretched world the true meaning of the Joker." Now the everyday high school girl Sunset Shimmer was no more, and in her place was one of many psychotic maniacs and murderers that will be known by many. Those who would dare try to speak the name of this group of people would tremble in fear that they were going to come for them too. These psychopaths were known as the Jokerz. (Will continue in Chapter 3: The Jokerz strike, This Joke will just Slay you!). Chapter 3: Rainbow on the Move, an Unwanted Reunion. In the Dark of Night, Rainbow-Dash was in her GCPD Patrol Bike as she was going on her daily patrol, just to see if everything was alright in Gotham City. "Sigh, Gotham never changes," Rainbow said as she was looking upon Gotham's dark and gloomy sky. "Well, at least we have people like Batman here to protect us from these so-called super-crooks, even though I think that Batman should stay out of Police Affairs." Rainbow then heard a voice come from her walkie-talkie, revealing it to be her partner, Soarin Blitz. "Hey Rainbow, you there," Soarin said. "Yeah, what's up," Rainbow replied. "There's been a disturbance in one of the local bars," Soarin said. Rainbow let out a frustrated sigh, "I know who it is, don't worry Soarin, I'll come by the bar and take her home." Rainbow then hung up as she got closer to the Bowery Bar and Casino. As Rainbow entered the Bar, she saw her old friend Applejack holding a broken beer bottle and swearing at other patrons. "Sigh, not again Aj," Rainbow said to herself as she approached her friend. "Hey, gi-git away from me, ya hear," Applejack said in her drunken stupor. "Aj, calm down, it's me, Rainbow-Dash," Rainbow said as she tried to calm her down. "Rainbow, what are *hic* you doing here," Applejack murmured. "Waiter, I want another one." "I think you've had enough Aj," Rainbow calmly said. "C'mon, let's take you home before the manager calls security." "Wha*hic*Whatever," Applejack slurred as Rainbow carried Applejack to her patrol bike. "Man, she's been like this ever since Sweet Apple Acres went out of business," Rainbow Dash said to herself. "Well, it was inevitable due to all the lawsuits she had since Applebloom and her friends did that Anon-A-Miss crap." Rainbow felt sorry for her old friend, as she had become a drunken shell of her former self. Once Applejack was securely put in the backseat of her patrol Bike, Rainbow then got on and drove her home. "Aj, you've been off your depression meds again, haven't you," Rainbow said as she was driving. "Why do you care, I'll just*hic*take it when I feel down," Applejack said. "You know that's not how the medicine works, you're not well," Rainbow said. "Besides, you shouldn't be drinking, don't you know that alcohol is bad for your body." "Y-You're talking just like Rarity," Applejack said. "I never wanna see that bitch again." "Hey, don't talk like that, Rarity was our friend," Rainbow said. Rainbow then began to think about her other friends. She then thought about Fluttershy, who had to be sent to a mental institution due to attempted suicide. Rainbow hadn't seen Pinkie Pie since Anon-A-Miss was revealed. "Oh, I'll never forgive them for *hic* taking my Applebloom away," Applejack slurred. "She deserved to be taken to Juvenile Detention," Rainbow said. "The CMCs are the ones that tore our friendship into pieces, just because they weren't getting attention from us! I mean, how petty is that?" Applejack couldn't do anything violent since she was put in handcuffs. Rainbow then stopped by a nearby apartment complex, just as Applejack had fallen asleep from the Alcohol. "I'm sorry it had to be this way AJ," Rainbow said. "But we can't change the past, all we can do is see what the future will hold for us." Once Rainbow had put the Sleeping Applejack onto the couch of Applejack's Apartment room, she quietly closed the door behind her and went to the Police Station to finish her night shift. Suddenly a group of bikers zoomed right past her patrol Bike. "Oh, you made a big mistake, speeding in my city," Rainbow said as she put her sirens on and chased after the bikers. "HEY, YOU'VE BEEN BUSTED PUNKS, GCPD, STOP YOUR BIKES AND PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR," Rainbow said as she spoke through a megaphone. Rainbow saw that the bikers were wearing clown masks. "These must be some of Joker's men," Rainbow said to herself. "Don't tell me he broke out of Arkham again." Suddenly the Goons took a sharp left towards a neighborhood, and Rainbow followed them in hot pursuit. Suddenly, Rainbow saw Lightning Dust come next to her. "Lightning, what are you doing here," Rainbow asked. "Thought you would need me as Backup to take these clowns," Lightning said with a smile. Rainbow then pulled her Double-Barreled Revolver and shot at one of the goons' tires making him skid and crash into a fence. "Lightning, go after the others, I'll question this dirtbag," Rainbow said. "Alright, you got it," Lightning said as went in pursuit of the others. Then Rainbow approached the crashed Joker Goon and began to interrogate him. "Alright, Dirtbag, we can do this the easy way or the hard way," Rainbow said. "Where's The Joker?!" "Which one," The Goon said with a smirk. "What," Rainbow said in confusion. "What do you mean which one?" "There's always been more than one Joker," The Goon said. "So how many are there," Rainbow said. "Seven," The Goon said. "S-So, where are they, TELL ME!" Rainbow said. Suddenly a voice came from behind her and said, "One's Behind you, hello Dashie." This brought a chill down Rainbow's Spine, as she had not heard that voice in 5 years. Rainbow then turned around, and when she did, the blood in her veins ran cold when she saw the person's face. "S-Su-Sunset," Rainbow said with a face full of terror. "What did Joker do to you?!" "What, that's it," Sunset said with a face of disappointment. "No how have been Sunset, Oh you're new face looks beautiful Sunset, really Dashie, I'm hurt." "But really, I'm happy to finally see you again, we've got a lot of catching up to do, old friend," Sunset said. "But, first, you're going to be taking a nap," Sunset said as she slammed her Crowbar into Rainbow's head, knocking her out. "Alright, you load her into the Car, I still have a lot of catching up to do with her," Sunset said as she giggled when she got on her Joker-Bike and went straight to the Jokerz lair. (Will continue in Chapter 4: Sunset's Revenge-O-Rama, Inside the Laughing House). Chapter 4: Back to the Clown House, The Love of Two Jokers.Chapter 4: Back to the Clown House, The Love of Two Jokers. Meanwhile, back at the Laughing House, The Punk (Sunset Shimmer) parks her Joker-Like Motor-Cycle as the truck holding an unconscious Rainbow-Dash in the back. “Hey, easy on the parking, boys,” The Punk stated. “We don’t want our Captain of GCPD too banged up.” She then went inside the house, to see Harley preparing something. “Hello Harley, what’s cookin',” The Punk asked. At first, there was no response. “Hey, I just asked you a question, it’s quite impolite not to reply,” The Punk said in a slightly annoyed tone of voice. “Oh, nothin' little J,” Harley said as she turned around, only to reveal a shiner in her left eye. “First of all, Harley, can you please just call me Joker,” The Punk said. “Whenever I hear the saying, Little J, it makes me feel like I’m tiny and insignificant. Maybe it’s a coping mechanism I’ve had for a while.” “Second of all, you seem like a sad sight for a sore “eye,” heh heh,” The Punk said as she laughed a little at her joke. “Sorry JJ is the name JJ ok with you,” Harley asked. “All right, JJ good…enough,” The Punk replied with an honest smile. “Did the Comedian get mad at you again?” “Yeah, I’m sorry, I didn’t get the Joke,” Harley whimpered. “Boss J was telling us of a grand plan he was crafting, and I sort of interrupted Boss J while he was talking.” “You mean the Criminal, right,” The Punk asked. “Yessarunie,” Harley said. “Mr. J didn’t like that much, so he corrected me for it.” “Look, Harley, it’s fine, I’m sure The Comedian just has a lot on his mind right now,” The Punk said. “It’s best to do what he says without questioning it.” “Ok JJ,” Harley said as she continued cooking. Suddenly, The Clown came into the house. “Everyclown, I’m home,” The Clown said in a jittery tone. “And I’ve brought some goodies home with me.” “Yay, Cotton Candy is my favorite,” The Punk said as she got one of the Cotton Candy Sticks. “Oh, I also wanted to say that there are two packages outside,” The Clown said. “Oh, that’s for me,” The Punk said as she went outside to retrieve the package. “Yes, my new Purple Biker Jacket and my Tigerfish have arrived.” “Tigerfish,” The Clown asked in confusion. “South Africa’s equivalent of the Piranha,” The Punk replied. “They’re distant relatives.” The Punk, as soon as she put the package on her bedroom dresser, opened the Package, revealing an aquarium of African Tigerfish. “Now I just gotta wait for my Goliath Tigerfish to arrive in two weeks and then I’ll be all set,” The Punk said as she examined her new pets. “Well, I wish you little guys didn’t have those ugly frowns,” The Punk sneered. “But don’t worry my scaly friends, Little Miss Joker will fix that.” The Punk then retrieved some Fish food laced with what she called Smilex. “Let’s put some smiles on those faces,” The Punk said as she dropped the fish food into the tank and watched as the Tigerfish gobbled them all up. “Hmm, so it is true, Tigerfish do hunt in packs, the more you know I suppose, hahahahahahahahaaa!” Sunset watched as the Tigerfish's normally tan bodies and faces turned as white as snow and their fins, eyes, and tails turned bright green. Their mouths also stretched into a rictus grin while turning a bright red. “Aww, aren’t those luscious ruby lips and those beautiful smiles just adorable,” The Punk said as they tore a Goldfish, she put in the tank limb from limb. Suddenly, Sunset turned around to see the girl they called Twilight Sparkle watching what Sunset was doing from her bed. “Oh, sorry, didn’t see you there, just getting ready for our Captain of GCPD to have a little fish-fry,” The Punk stated. “Say, you look a little familiar to me, that face, what’s your name kid, well besides the Joker.” “Umm, Twilight Sparkle,” The other girl said. “But the Criminal wants me to call myself The Student.” “Hmm, good nickname, really suits someone like you,” The Punk said. “So, what made you get a ticket for the Crazy Train? Let me guess, mother killed by the mob maybe, or was your brother killed by a simple mugger?" “My principal and classmates,” The Student said while giggling nervously a little. “They were jealous of my intellect, so they turned me into this.” “The problem with my classmates was, they had so many frowns, so I made them smile again, and as can see, they’re a whole lot happier,” The Student said. “My next victims were my apartment neighbors, they were causing a ruckus so I just rerigged some wires and I turned them into fried salmon…Heh, salmon, get it heh,” The Student said looking at The Punk’s fish. “HAHAHAHAHAHAH, HOHOHOHAHAHAHAA,” The Punk roared with laughter. “OH MY GOSH, YOU ARE HEE-HAWLARIOUS HAHAHAHAAA!” “You are really like my other half, like the Judy to my Mr. Punch,” The Punk said. “It’s almost like I can see into your soul, and what I see is someone who actually understands all of the pain that I’ve gone through, The two of us are going to be going places.” “Oh, really, heh heh, well I guess so,” The Student said blushing. “All right, now with all the lovey-dovey stuff aside, time for the both of us to get down to business,” The Punk said. “Now help me get this video camera and tv ready to be filmed live.” “All right time for those sorry saps at Canterlot City that Sunset Shimmer is back, and better than ever before,” The Punk said as The Student and the Singer (Adagio Dazzle) started up the equipment. “All right Lights…Camera…ACTION,” The Punk said as they finally went on air. “HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAA, Holly Alloy Oxen Freed, again you Canterlot Cantaloupes, it’s me, The Joker, The Clown Princess of Crime, coming to you from my new Tv Channel, “Jokervision,” The Punk said as the Logo for Jokervision would appear. “But you all knew her as that no-good two-timing school bully, Sunset Shimmer, but I knew her as a once dark angel that was reformed to the side of good…only to get trampled down to the dirt by a group of 5 double-crossing LITTLE IMPS!” “I’ve already gotten one of these little liars, The Captain of GCPD, Rainbow-Dash,” The Punk stated. “And soon I’ll have the rest of them to set my grand plan into motion.” “Oh, and for this grand plan, I’ll need the work of your precious princess of Equestria to be here, and her magical little friends as well,” The Punk said. “Oh, and to add a little motivation to come here, I’ve planted bombs filled with my Smilex all over Canterlot and Gotham City, and I’ll have them rigged to detonate when I press the big red button on this detonator, turning the gloomiest city on earth into the Happiest city on Earth.” “Oh, and to make things interesting, I’m planting a few simple rules,” The Punk said. “If I hear the flapping of Pegasus-Wings see the little glitter of Equestrian Magic, or see a grown man dressed up like a bat, I’ll detonate the Bombs immediately.” “So, you’re gonna have to try and stop me the old-fashioned way, and I know for a fact that Equestria’s precious Princess would never result in physical violence,” The Punk stated. “Or just ignore this warning broadcast and let Canterlot turn into wacky land and let the memory of all the deaths of those people be on your hands…or hooves I suppose, heh heh heh heh,” The Punk stated. “So come along try and stop me with no magic…well, if you’ve got the stomach for it, heroes of Equestria, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!” Sunset retorted before Sci-Twi and Wallflower then turn off the live tv. “All right, that will get the Princesses' attention,” The Punk snickered. “All right, Twilight, Adagio, Wallflower, let’s go round up the rest of those liars and then watch the sparks fly as my grand plan goes up in a blaze of glory. The Punk, the Student, The Singer, and The Outcast (Wallflower), went into a Joker-like armored truck and they all laughed maniacally as they went to give Canterlot City, a nice…big…smile.
Sunset Shimmer (The Patient, The 4th Joker).Author's Note Sunset Shimmer (The Patient, The 4th Joker). Sunset Shimmer had just gotten back to her Gotham City apartment building so she could just cry her heart out and drown her sorrows in alcohol. Even though she had moved into a new town and tried to start a new life, she had still not gotten over the physical and psychological trauma that she was, well, forced really, to endure at the hands of her classmates. Even when she tried to sleep, she could still hear the laughter of her evil classmates from outside her apartment window, like they were waiting to finally end her life. But every-time she went to check, she saw nothing as she knew that it was just her mind slowly turning to mush. She would usually huddle into a corner of her bedroom and spend the rest of the night crying, but this time she had finally had enough, as she stormed out of her apartment room and out in the cold rain as she looked at the sky almost she was looking out into the heavens. Even awake she could still hear that horrid laughter emanating from every direction, Sunset always's wondered why she had to suffer still and why God hasn't come to free her from this mental torture. It was almost like God had forsaken her, almost like God was playing a cruel joke on her, and she was the punchline. Sunset couldn't hear the rain drops anymore, all she could was the laughter and the jeering and judging voices of all her classmates. "PLEASE STOP IT, WHY WON'T YOU LEAVE ME ALONE!" Sunset screamed hysterically. "STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT STOP ITTTT!!!" Then, when Sunset opened her eyes she saw that she was in some kind of factory or plant or something like that. Then she saw that she was facing a vat of green liquid that was bubbling. Then the vat transformed into the face of a clown, as it began to cackle maniacally as a swarm of hands were pushing her into the vat, Sunset tried to fight it off but to no avail, her attempts were proven useless. The hands finally dropped her off the ledge she was on as she was then engulfed by the mouth of madness. Thank goodness it was only a nightmare as Sunset woke up screaming as she saw that she was once again in the safety of her room, but this brought the poor teenager no comfort as she knew that if she fell asleep again she would just have to go through that hell all over again. Sunset instead just spent the rest of her evening crying at her bedside just hoping that the next day wouldn't get as bad or worse. The next day, Sunset had come to a deli near her apartment so that she could quickly grab a to-go order and leave so that no one would have to even acknowledge her presence at all. However as she was leaving, she didn't notice that Gilda and her cronies were there and they were looking right at Sunset as she was leaving the deli. "Well well well, this is where Sunset Bummer has been this whole time," Gilda said as she grew a sadistic smile. "I don't really care if those Cmc's were really Anon-A-Miss all this time, making Sunset's life miserable has just felt so good." "You know what, I'm done humiliating her, I think its time we cut her out of the picture permanently," Gilda said as her cronies all nodded their heads in agreement as they quietly followed Sunset to her apartment complex. They then hid under a bush as she went inside her apartment complex. They had to wait for three hours before Sunset finally left her room so that she could get some dinner. Gilda then slipped out from the bushes in some kind of twisted clown mask so that she could hide her identity. Her cronies identical clown masks. They followed Sunset throughout 5-10 blocks before they finally got behind her. Gilda then tapped Sunset's shoulder and as she turned around she saw the people in clown masks, and it immediately raised red-flags. "Who are you, what do you want," Sunset asked with a worried tone in her voice. "Please, I've had a really hard day today, so please just leave me alone, I don't have any money." "We don't want money," Gilda said. "What we want is revenge on you Anon-A-Miss." When Sunset heard what she said she tried to run, but she was immediately knocked out by a Crowbar. Gilda then saw a building that said in big letters, Ace Chemical Plant. "Hey boy's, take her to that chemical plant, over there," Gilda said. "You got it boss," One of her cronies said with a smirk. "Wait, what if Batman comes after us," Another Crony said. "So what if the big bad Batman comes after us, we have guns," Gilda said. "What's the worst he could do?" "Oh, I don't know, he might break through a window and smash our faces in," The goon said. "Alright, can you just shut the fuck up," Gilda said. "You're stressing me out!" When Sunset woke up, she saw that she was facing a similar green vat of chemicals. "Gilda, where am I," Sunset asked. "You're in Ace Chemicals, Genius," Gilda said. "Besides, I didn't think that you would actually have come all this way to Gotham City." "Please, don't hurt me, I'm not Anon-A-Miss," Sunset Pleaded. "Oh, we know that you're not Anon-A-Miss," Gilda said. "The Cmc's confessed everything, but really, we just don't care. I've been waiting a long time for this moment to occur, where I can finally get rid of you for good." "Please don't do this, what will killing me accomplish for any of you," Sunset asked. "Well, nothing really, it's just that causing innocent people misery just feels so damn good," Gilda said as she was slowly pushing her towards the vat." "Wait Miss Gilda," One of her Cronies said. "Let's put this clown mask on her just to show how much of a joker she really is." "Yeah, great idea," Gilda said as she put the mask over Sunset head as she continued crying and pleading for them to stop. "Alright got the mask on, even though we already put make-up on her," Gilda said. "Alright, ready to drop her into the vat boy's," Gilda said. "Yep, we're ready boss," the goons said. "Alright, 1...2..." Before they could do anything, the doors were suddenly burst open and flooded with police officers. "Alright, Gilda, this is the GCPD, let go of the hostage and put your hands behind your head," Rainbow-Dash said. "Rainbow-Dash," Sunset thought to herself as she recognized her former friends voice. "GO TO HELL, DASH!" Gilda said as she and her goons started opening fire. This made Rainbow and the rest of the officers start to open fire as well, actually hitting two of the four goons. "STOP," An unknown voice said from the shadows, which was then revealed to be The Legendary Batman. "Don't shoot, I'll do things my way." The Batman then knocked out one of the goons while the last one took off running. "You cowards, kill the stupid Bat," Gilda roared. "I'm getting out of here, screw you Gilda," The Goon said as he disappeared through the door. Gilda finally was at the peak of her frustrations, as she grabbed Sunset by her neck. "Don't you come any closer, Bat-Freak, or I'll dump this bitch in the vat," Gilda said. "I've been waiting for revenge for 5 years and I'm not letting some guy dressed as a Bat fuck this up for me!" "You have two options Gilda, let her go or you're jail sentence is going to be worse than breaking and entering," Batman said. "Don't you lecture me Batman," Gilda roared. "ALRIGHT, I'VE HAD ENOUGH!" Before Gilda could react, Rainbow shot Gilda in the leg, Gilda let Sunset go as she screamed in pain. Batman then swooped in to try and get the hostage out of harms way. "It's ok, you're safe now," Batman said as he tried to reach for Sunset. "I'm here to help you." However, Sunset was still delirious from a mixture of impact of the crowbar to her head and the fumes from the chemical vat, and what she saw instead of Batman was a giant man-bat creature with green glowing eyes. What she heard him say was, "I'm here to kill you!" "No, stay away from me, don't come any closer, you monster," Sunset said in her state of demented stupor. "I have to get away," Sunset said as she saw the vat of chemicals. "No, stop," Batman said. "Don't do it!" "Have to...GET AWAY FROM IT!" Sunset said as she jumped over the ledge and down into the chemical bath. Sunset never resurfaced. "Drain the vat, she may still be down there," Batman ordered two GCPD officers, however when they drained the Chemical Pool, they found nothing, except for a burned clown mask "No, I was too late," Batman said with a face of pity. "I'm sorry, I couldn't save you." "Don't worry Batman, we'll make sure this punk spends a long time in a cell in Black-Gate," Commissioner Gordon said as two officers escorted her and three of her goons into a patrol car. Meanwhile, in the shoreline of The Gotham City Beach, a couple were walking close to the shoreline as they were enjoying their 7th wedding anniversary together, that was until they saw what appeared to be a body drifting towards the shoreline. "Honey, call the life-guard," The wife said. When the life-guard saw the body, he then called the Gotham state hospital, and when the recovered the girl and brought her to a hospital room, they noticed that her skin was now bleached white as snow, and her hair was now completely emerald green, she almost looked like a circus clown. "Mmm," Sunset murmured as she woke up. "Aww, You're finally awake, we almost thought that we had lost you," The doctor said. "Where am I, Who am I," Sunset said as she started to look around her surroundings. "You're in The Gotham City Hospital," One of the nurses said. "Wait, you don't know who you are?" "No, I can't really remember anything," Sunset said as she was rubbling her head. "Ok Doctor, she has Amnesia," The Nurse said. "Probably a psychological after-effect from all the chemicals she had." Then Sunset saw her face, and started laughing a little. "Miss, is something wrong," The Nurse asked. "No, nothing's wrong, it's just my face makes me look like one of those Jokers you see in a deck of playing cards," Sunset said. "I was just laughing because it kinda made me look a little silly looking, ha ha ha ha," Sunset said as it made her laugh again. "Alright, well the adds another one officer," The Doctor said as The Officer had a notepad that had three names on it, "The Criminal, The Comedian, and The Clown." He then put in a second name, "The Patient."
Chapter 1: Sunset Shimmer (The Patient) A surprise visitSunset Shimmer was in her hospital room eating from a Granny Smith Apple just as Nurse Red-Heart entered her room. "Good Morning," Nurse Red-Heart said as she came in with supplies. "Good morning Nurse," The Patient said. "Thank you for the food." "I'm glad that you like it," Red-Heart said with a smile. "By the way, you have a visitor." "Who is he," The Patient said. "I heard that he's some kind of comedian," Red-Heart said. "He goes to children's hospitals all across Gotham for charity and he likes to tell his jokes to all the kids. The kids just love him." "Ok," The Patient said with a kind smile. Then both of them heard a knock on the door. "Come in," Nurse Red-Heart said. Then the comedian appeared as he opened the door. "Hello there," The Comedian said. "My Name is Joseph Kerr, I heard about the accident at Ace Chemicals, I hope you're feeling really well today Sun..." Before Joseph Kerr could finish, The patient turned to him and said. "Could you call me Joker, that name makes me feel better." "It's ok, I understand," Joseph said. "We all just live in a world where sane and rational people are just more spread out than people like us, they just don't understand a lot of the things people like us think about." "It's like I've alway's said, some people can just simply go insane with just one bad day." "I bet," The Patient said, still eating her apple. "You know, this kinda reminds me of a joke I used to tell to people, but no one ever got the joke, I'm sure that you won't be able to get it either," Joseph Kerr said. "Hey, I bet I will, please tell me," The Patient said in a curious tone of voice. "Alright, alright, I'll tell you the joke," Joseph Kerr said. "Sigh, Alright, here goes nothing." “See, there were these two guys in a lunatic asylum... and one night, one night they decide they don't like living in an asylum any more. So one night, They decide they're going to escape! So, like, they get up onto the roof, and there, just across this narrow gap, they see the rooftops of the town, stretching away in the moon light... stretching away to freedom. Now, the first guy, he jumps right across with no problem. But his friend, his friend didn't dare make the leap. Y'see... Y'see, he's afraid of falling. So then, the first guy has an idea... He says 'Hey! I have my flashlight with me! I'll shine it across the gap between the buildings. You can walk along the beam and join me!' B-but the second guy just shakes his head. He suh-says... He says 'Wh-what do you think I am? Crazy? You'd turn it off when I was half way across!” At first there was no response, making Joseph Kerr have an embarrassed look on his face, "Darn it, I blew the Punch-Line again," Joseph Kerr said under his breath. Suddenly, Sunset then bursted into a fit of laughter. "That's the funniest Joke I've ever heard," The Patient said as she continued laughing. "Wow, you're the first person who actually got the joke," Joseph Kerr said as he started to smile. "Hold on a minute." "Nurse Red-Heart," Joseph said, as she turned to face him. "I would like to ask if she could come over to my home. "There are other children there that are just like her that suffer from the same affliction, and I think the other children are going to love her. "That is fine with me," Nurse Red-Heart said. "As long as her Doctor say's that it's ok." "Oh thank you so much," Joseph said. Just as the Doctor gave Joseph Kerr permission, he then escorted Sunset by Wheel-Chair to his car so that she could be sent to her new home. "Don't worry, once we're home, you'll be safe from those who would want to hurt you," Joseph said to Sunset, who was asleep while sitting in the backseat. (This will continue with Chapter 2: Meeting the other Jokers). Author's Note
Chapter 2: A Maddening Trip down Memory Lane, The Comedy Begins"Ahh, home at last," Joseph Kerr said as he parked his car near a purple and green-painted house known as The Gotham Clown-House. "Wanna hear a little fun fact, This used to be the old Gotham City State Orphanage until it was abandoned in 1986 after a caretaker named Lazlo Valentine went crazy and chopped up his entire staff with an ax, plus two of the children that lived there." "What happened to Mr. Valentine," The Patient said. "No one knows, he disappeared before the police could apprehend him," Joseph Kerr said. "But let's not think about an old Gotham Folktale, let's think about what's happening right here right now." Joseph then knocked on the door and said, "Oh honey, I'm home." "Coming Mr. J," A woman's voice said from the other side of the door. Then the door opened to reveal a blonde-haired woman with glasses and a white coat. "Oh, this is Dr. Harleen Quinzel," Joseph Kerr said. "She helps with not only taking care of the children but also helping them recover from any mental trauma they may have faced in their childhood." "Dr. Quinzel is there a spare bedroom for her to sleep in," Joseph Kerr asked. "Yes, there is a room available for her," Harleen said. "She can be Twilight's Bunk-Mate." "Twilight," The Patient said to herself. "Why does that name sound so familiar?" "Now Child, please give me a minute," Joseph Kerr said. "I need to go to the restroom to change, finally be rid of this make-up and black hair dye." "Oh, I think you should change clothes as well," Joseph Kerr said. "Unless you wanted to go out in public wearing that hospital gown." "Ok," The Patient said as she went into the bathroom in her bedroom. Then she saw Twilight sitting in her bed quietly giggling to herself while petting a baby Spotted Hyena she named Spike. She also saw an orange-haired girl who had a horrid Glasgow smile, the name on her bed said, "Adagio Dazzle." When she entered, she saw that there were clothes already neatly folded and waiting for her. The clothes were a green undershirt with a purple Biker Jacket and purple Biker Pants, followed by a piece of red lipstick. "Well, as they always say, The Clothes make the man, or is it the Clown," The Patient snickered to herself as she changed out of her hospital gown and into the clothes on the sink counter. As she did so, she began to regain her memories, and what pain was as unbearable then regaining bad memories. She remembered her name, Sunset Shimmer, she remembered the cause of her present predicament, Anon-A-Miss, She even remembered all of her old classmates' bullying and jeers towards her. Sunset clung to her head as the mouth of madness began to envelop her completely, making her body quiver as she laughed maniacally while doing so, as she realized that friendship was nothing but a cold cruel joke put on her. It was all just a dark twisted demented gag. Once she had gotten into her new clothes and biker attire, she applied the red lipstick, and once that was done, her smile then resembled that of a devilish clown. She then wanted to change her name because she thought the name Patient wouldn't be threatening enough, so she changed it to The Punk. "Lookin good Sunset, Lookin good," The Punk said. "You're gonna knock them dead...literally, heh heh heh." The Punk then saw a Barbed Wire Baseball Bat sitting next to the place where she found the clothes, and once she got it she left the changing room. "So Mr. J, how do I look," The Punk said. Joseph Kerr turned around to reveal white skin and green hair, and he was now wearing a purple suit. "Oh kiddo, you look perfect," Joseph said. "Oh and you don't need to call me Joseph Kerr, that was just an alias, just take away a few letters, rearrange a few, and you get...JOKER, HAHAHAHAHAHA," The Joker said. "Yes but, who is the Joker really," The Punk said. "Because I think we both realize that The Joker is not just a single individual, but is an idea and a philosophy of pure madness, hahaha." "Yes, exactly," The Comedian said. "However, all those sane and rational bottom-feeders would think otherwise," The Punk said. And they would rather bully, jeer, and shame us to the point where we would just sit near a corner, crying and begging for the suffering to end...just like what they did to poor little Sunset Shimmer, she's dead because of them, and in her ashes, a new Joker is born." "However, this tale isn't a tragedy, it's going to end in a comedy...well, for me that is," The Punk said with a maniacal grin. "And soon all those responsible will pay for the actions that destroyed Sunset Shimmer." The Punk then got out her phone and wanted to send a little message to her old friends and spread this message worldwide. (As Sunset was in a private room, she started the audio recording) Hello, my old friends, Long-Time-no-see, I guess most of you may have forgotten the name of whose talking to you right now is, if not, then that makes me very happy. I guess you all heard about the accident that occurred in ACE Chemicals the other day? Yeah, I remember it too all too well, heh heh heh, you all must have been laughing your little heads off huh? I know you were and I know how that feels all too well. It's contagious, isn't it, laughing at the poor and defenseless, well guess what shitheads, now the Jokes are on you. The Jokes are on all of you. I hope that all of you are prepared for the fun and happy days that are ahead for all of you, Especially you Rainbow-Dash, aka Captain of the GCPD. Soon Sunset Shimmer will be avenged, and all those that are responsible will pay for all those heinous acts and crimes that destroyed Sunset Shimmer, and the ones who destroyed the rest of us shall suffer as well. You all better get ready, because The Jokerz are coming for all of you. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! With Smiles, Your former friend, Sunset Shimmer. "Before we go, I would like to introduce you to the Head Honcho who started this whole Joker Gig in the first place," The Comedian said. "Say hello to the Criminal." The Punk then saw an older man wearing a purple trench coat. "Well, it is a pleasure to finally meet you, my new Joker," The Criminal said. "Let's hope you make a great advancement to serve our goal, to show everyone in this wretched world the true meaning of the Joker." Now the everyday high school girl Sunset Shimmer was no more, and in her place was one of many psychotic maniacs and murderers that will be known by many. Those who would dare try to speak the name of this group of people would tremble in fear that they were going to come for them too. These psychopaths were known as the Jokerz. (Will continue in Chapter 3: The Jokerz strike, This Joke will just Slay you!).
Chapter 3: Rainbow on the Move, an Unwanted Reunion. In the Dark of Night, Rainbow-Dash was in her GCPD Patrol Bike as she was going on her daily patrol, just to see if everything was alright in Gotham City. "Sigh, Gotham never changes," Rainbow said as she was looking upon Gotham's dark and gloomy sky. "Well, at least we have people like Batman here to protect us from these so-called super-crooks, even though I think that Batman should stay out of Police Affairs." Rainbow then heard a voice come from her walkie-talkie, revealing it to be her partner, Soarin Blitz. "Hey Rainbow, you there," Soarin said. "Yeah, what's up," Rainbow replied. "There's been a disturbance in one of the local bars," Soarin said. Rainbow let out a frustrated sigh, "I know who it is, don't worry Soarin, I'll come by the bar and take her home." Rainbow then hung up as she got closer to the Bowery Bar and Casino. As Rainbow entered the Bar, she saw her old friend Applejack holding a broken beer bottle and swearing at other patrons. "Sigh, not again Aj," Rainbow said to herself as she approached her friend. "Hey, gi-git away from me, ya hear," Applejack said in her drunken stupor. "Aj, calm down, it's me, Rainbow-Dash," Rainbow said as she tried to calm her down. "Rainbow, what are *hic* you doing here," Applejack murmured. "Waiter, I want another one." "I think you've had enough Aj," Rainbow calmly said. "C'mon, let's take you home before the manager calls security." "Wha*hic*Whatever," Applejack slurred as Rainbow carried Applejack to her patrol bike. "Man, she's been like this ever since Sweet Apple Acres went out of business," Rainbow Dash said to herself. "Well, it was inevitable due to all the lawsuits she had since Applebloom and her friends did that Anon-A-Miss crap." Rainbow felt sorry for her old friend, as she had become a drunken shell of her former self. Once Applejack was securely put in the backseat of her patrol Bike, Rainbow then got on and drove her home. "Aj, you've been off your depression meds again, haven't you," Rainbow said as she was driving. "Why do you care, I'll just*hic*take it when I feel down," Applejack said. "You know that's not how the medicine works, you're not well," Rainbow said. "Besides, you shouldn't be drinking, don't you know that alcohol is bad for your body." "Y-You're talking just like Rarity," Applejack said. "I never wanna see that bitch again." "Hey, don't talk like that, Rarity was our friend," Rainbow said. Rainbow then began to think about her other friends. She then thought about Fluttershy, who had to be sent to a mental institution due to attempted suicide. Rainbow hadn't seen Pinkie Pie since Anon-A-Miss was revealed. "Oh, I'll never forgive them for *hic* taking my Applebloom away," Applejack slurred. "She deserved to be taken to Juvenile Detention," Rainbow said. "The CMCs are the ones that tore our friendship into pieces, just because they weren't getting attention from us! I mean, how petty is that?" Applejack couldn't do anything violent since she was put in handcuffs. Rainbow then stopped by a nearby apartment complex, just as Applejack had fallen asleep from the Alcohol. "I'm sorry it had to be this way AJ," Rainbow said. "But we can't change the past, all we can do is see what the future will hold for us." Once Rainbow had put the Sleeping Applejack onto the couch of Applejack's Apartment room, she quietly closed the door behind her and went to the Police Station to finish her night shift. Suddenly a group of bikers zoomed right past her patrol Bike. "Oh, you made a big mistake, speeding in my city," Rainbow said as she put her sirens on and chased after the bikers. "HEY, YOU'VE BEEN BUSTED PUNKS, GCPD, STOP YOUR BIKES AND PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR," Rainbow said as she spoke through a megaphone. Rainbow saw that the bikers were wearing clown masks. "These must be some of Joker's men," Rainbow said to herself. "Don't tell me he broke out of Arkham again." Suddenly the Goons took a sharp left towards a neighborhood, and Rainbow followed them in hot pursuit. Suddenly, Rainbow saw Lightning Dust come next to her. "Lightning, what are you doing here," Rainbow asked. "Thought you would need me as Backup to take these clowns," Lightning said with a smile. Rainbow then pulled her Double-Barreled Revolver and shot at one of the goons' tires making him skid and crash into a fence. "Lightning, go after the others, I'll question this dirtbag," Rainbow said. "Alright, you got it," Lightning said as went in pursuit of the others. Then Rainbow approached the crashed Joker Goon and began to interrogate him. "Alright, Dirtbag, we can do this the easy way or the hard way," Rainbow said. "Where's The Joker?!" "Which one," The Goon said with a smirk. "What," Rainbow said in confusion. "What do you mean which one?" "There's always been more than one Joker," The Goon said. "So how many are there," Rainbow said. "Seven," The Goon said. "S-So, where are they, TELL ME!" Rainbow said. Suddenly a voice came from behind her and said, "One's Behind you, hello Dashie." This brought a chill down Rainbow's Spine, as she had not heard that voice in 5 years. Rainbow then turned around, and when she did, the blood in her veins ran cold when she saw the person's face. "S-Su-Sunset," Rainbow said with a face full of terror. "What did Joker do to you?!" "What, that's it," Sunset said with a face of disappointment. "No how have been Sunset, Oh you're new face looks beautiful Sunset, really Dashie, I'm hurt." "But really, I'm happy to finally see you again, we've got a lot of catching up to do, old friend," Sunset said. "But, first, you're going to be taking a nap," Sunset said as she slammed her Crowbar into Rainbow's head, knocking her out. "Alright, you load her into the Car, I still have a lot of catching up to do with her," Sunset said as she giggled when she got on her Joker-Bike and went straight to the Jokerz lair. (Will continue in Chapter 4: Sunset's Revenge-O-Rama, Inside the Laughing House).

Meanwhile, back at the Laughing House, The Punk (Sunset Shimmer) parks her Joker-Like Motor-Cycle as the truck holding an unconscious Rainbow-Dash in the back. “Hey, easy on the parking, boys,” The Punk stated. “We don’t want our Captain of GCPD too banged up.” She then went inside the house, to see Harley preparing something. “Hello Harley, what’s cookin',” The Punk asked. At first, there was no response. “Hey, I just asked you a question, it’s quite impolite not to reply,” The Punk said in a slightly annoyed tone of voice. “Oh, nothin' little J,” Harley said as she turned around, only to reveal a shiner in her left eye. “First of all, Harley, can you please just call me Joker,” The Punk said. “Whenever I hear the saying, Little J, it makes me feel like I’m tiny and insignificant. Maybe it’s a coping mechanism I’ve had for a while.” “Second of all, you seem like a sad sight for a sore “eye,” heh heh,” The Punk said as she laughed a little at her joke. “Sorry JJ is the name JJ ok with you,” Harley asked. “All right, JJ good…enough,” The Punk replied with an honest smile. “Did the Comedian get mad at you again?” “Yeah, I’m sorry, I didn’t get the Joke,” Harley whimpered. “Boss J was telling us of a grand plan he was crafting, and I sort of interrupted Boss J while he was talking.” “You mean the Criminal, right,” The Punk asked. “Yessarunie,” Harley said. “Mr. J didn’t like that much, so he corrected me for it.” “Look, Harley, it’s fine, I’m sure The Comedian just has a lot on his mind right now,” The Punk said. “It’s best to do what he says without questioning it.” “Ok JJ,” Harley said as she continued cooking. Suddenly, The Clown came into the house. “Everyclown, I’m home,” The Clown said in a jittery tone. “And I’ve brought some goodies home with me.” “Yay, Cotton Candy is my favorite,” The Punk said as she got one of the Cotton Candy Sticks. “Oh, I also wanted to say that there are two packages outside,” The Clown said. “Oh, that’s for me,” The Punk said as she went outside to retrieve the package. “Yes, my new Purple Biker Jacket and my Tigerfish have arrived.” “Tigerfish,” The Clown asked in confusion. “South Africa’s equivalent of the Piranha,” The Punk replied. “They’re distant relatives.” The Punk, as soon as she put the package on her bedroom dresser, opened the Package, revealing an aquarium of African Tigerfish. “Now I just gotta wait for my Goliath Tigerfish to arrive in two weeks and then I’ll be all set,” The Punk said as she examined her new pets. “Well, I wish you little guys didn’t have those ugly frowns,” The Punk sneered. “But don’t worry my scaly friends, Little Miss Joker will fix that.” The Punk then retrieved some Fish food laced with what she called Smilex. “Let’s put some smiles on those faces,” The Punk said as she dropped the fish food into the tank and watched as the Tigerfish gobbled them all up. “Hmm, so it is true, Tigerfish do hunt in packs, the more you know I suppose, hahahahahahahahaaa!” Sunset watched as the Tigerfish's normally tan bodies and faces turned as white as snow and their fins, eyes, and tails turned bright green. Their mouths also stretched into a rictus grin while turning a bright red. “Aww, aren’t those luscious ruby lips and those beautiful smiles just adorable,” The Punk said as they tore a Goldfish, she put in the tank limb from limb. Suddenly, Sunset turned around to see the girl they called Twilight Sparkle watching what Sunset was doing from her bed. “Oh, sorry, didn’t see you there, just getting ready for our Captain of GCPD to have a little fish-fry,” The Punk stated. “Say, you look a little familiar to me, that face, what’s your name kid, well besides the Joker.” “Umm, Twilight Sparkle,” The other girl said. “But the Criminal wants me to call myself The Student.” “Hmm, good nickname, really suits someone like you,” The Punk said. “So, what made you get a ticket for the Crazy Train? Let me guess, mother killed by the mob maybe, or was your brother killed by a simple mugger?" “My principal and classmates,” The Student said while giggling nervously a little. “They were jealous of my intellect, so they turned me into this.” “The problem with my classmates was, they had so many frowns, so I made them smile again, and as can see, they’re a whole lot happier,” The Student said. “My next victims were my apartment neighbors, they were causing a ruckus so I just rerigged some wires and I turned them into fried salmon…Heh, salmon, get it heh,” The Student said looking at The Punk’s fish. “HAHAHAHAHAHAH, HOHOHOHAHAHAHAA,” The Punk roared with laughter. “OH MY GOSH, YOU ARE HEE-HAWLARIOUS HAHAHAHAAA!” “You are really like my other half, like the Judy to my Mr. Punch,” The Punk said. “It’s almost like I can see into your soul, and what I see is someone who actually understands all of the pain that I’ve gone through, The two of us are going to be going places.” “Oh, really, heh heh, well I guess so,” The Student said blushing. “All right, now with all the lovey-dovey stuff aside, time for the both of us to get down to business,” The Punk said. “Now help me get this video camera and tv ready to be filmed live.” “All right time for those sorry saps at Canterlot City that Sunset Shimmer is back, and better than ever before,” The Punk said as The Student and the Singer (Adagio Dazzle) started up the equipment. “All right Lights…Camera…ACTION,” The Punk said as they finally went on air. “HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAA, Holly Alloy Oxen Freed, again you Canterlot Cantaloupes, it’s me, The Joker, The Clown Princess of Crime, coming to you from my new Tv Channel, “Jokervision,” The Punk said as the Logo for Jokervision would appear. “But you all knew her as that no-good two-timing school bully, Sunset Shimmer, but I knew her as a once dark angel that was reformed to the side of good…only to get trampled down to the dirt by a group of 5 double-crossing LITTLE IMPS!” “I’ve already gotten one of these little liars, The Captain of GCPD, Rainbow-Dash,” The Punk stated. “And soon I’ll have the rest of them to set my grand plan into motion.” “Oh, and for this grand plan, I’ll need the work of your precious princess of Equestria to be here, and her magical little friends as well,” The Punk said. “Oh, and to add a little motivation to come here, I’ve planted bombs filled with my Smilex all over Canterlot and Gotham City, and I’ll have them rigged to detonate when I press the big red button on this detonator, turning the gloomiest city on earth into the Happiest city on Earth.” “Oh, and to make things interesting, I’m planting a few simple rules,” The Punk said. “If I hear the flapping of Pegasus-Wings see the little glitter of Equestrian Magic, or see a grown man dressed up like a bat, I’ll detonate the Bombs immediately.” “So, you’re gonna have to try and stop me the old-fashioned way, and I know for a fact that Equestria’s precious Princess would never result in physical violence,” The Punk stated. “Or just ignore this warning broadcast and let Canterlot turn into wacky land and let the memory of all the deaths of those people be on your hands…or hooves I suppose, heh heh heh heh,” The Punk stated. “So come along try and stop me with no magic…well, if you’ve got the stomach for it, heroes of Equestria, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!” Sunset retorted before Sci-Twi and Wallflower then turn off the live tv. “All right, that will get the Princesses' attention,” The Punk snickered. “All right, Twilight, Adagio, Wallflower, let’s go round up the rest of those liars and then watch the sparks fly as my grand plan goes up in a blaze of glory. The Punk, the Student, The Singer, and The Outcast (Wallflower), went into a Joker-like armored truck and they all laughed maniacally as they went to give Canterlot City, a nice…big…smile.
