Later at the Rainboom secret hideout "Chalk that one for us," Rainbow boasted then Pinkie started to decorate the lair. "Uh, Pinks what are you doing?" "Preparing for our anniversary, silly," Pinkie giggled then put a party hat on her head. "Oh right," Sunset realized."It's been three years ago to this night since we began helping the city." "Exactly," Pinkie brings out a cake. "Well, I'm for one to say I am proud to be a friend and ally to stop those brutes," Rarity exclaimed. Then Morning approaches Cheif Andrews, can verify rumors that it was the Rainbooms who handled Tyson Kidd and his gang last night? Do you know of anyone who's actually seen them? Because they are known as an Urban Legend. As the news was on. "Are you kidding me?!" Scootaloo exclaimed while watching the Daily Horseshoe. "You guys are so real!" "Easy Scoots," Rainbow calms her down. "Remember, we are not supposed to attract the heat." Well there you have it. In only three years' time, our crime rate has dropped to a nationwide low thanks to Canterlot's finest. Back to you Jim. Next up, Billonares Trevor and Tyler Sanders contributed an unprecedented sum to Canterlot children's hospital. And in sports, Wondercolt Basketball kicks off a new season with a home game with Shadowville Hunters. "Shadowville? Who the heck are they?" Scootaloo asked. "The Shadowville Hunters are a second biggest rival to Crystal Prep," Rainbow explained. "But it has been back and forth with them." "We are going to the game right?" Scootaloo asked. "We are," Rainbow agrees. "But Trevor and Tyler have something to show us." At Canterlot PD "Got anything on vigilantes this time Galloway," Andrews asked his detective Greg Galloway. "Other the fact, that they wrap Kidd's butt for us?" Greg stated. "Well, it's up to you and your new partner to see if they don't become a folk hero," "Partner? Since when?" "Since I decided two heads are better one," Andrews let someone in. "Detective Greg Galloway, meet Detective Spitfire formally of Cloudsdale PD. Their loss." "Hey, partner," Spitfire greeted him. "Welcome to Canterlot," Greg shakes hands. "Now that both of you are acquainted, find me the Rainbooms whoever they are." At Talon Labs "Ladies, you may be wondering why we call you here today? Trevor asked. "Yeah, what with that?" Rarity asked. "Apart from working here, we notice that most of you have social lives give or take and wonder what would happen if criminals started to act? Well, worry no more. we have the answer." Trevor exclaimed and handed the girl strange-looking devices. "What are they?" Applejack asked. "The Rainboom Wave, they are connected to the police mainframe meaning if something happens outside the lair they will let you know." ... At Blackgate, Canterlot's home for deranged criminals. One of the workers checked out the cells. "Steiner, check. Mcswain, check. 223 vacant." The worker saw someone inside. "Hey. no one log any new arrivals. What are you doing in here?" "I was feeling a little screw-loose so I checked myself in," the man said. "Who are you?" "My card," the man shows him his card then release a gas-like substance and release the east wing of Blackgate. Back to Canterlot PD "Let me tell you something, The ladies never leave a trace, no prints, no follicles, not even match on the tire tracks," Greg told her. "All of them are custom jobs," Spitfire mentioned. "They have resources." "And a knack for showing up where crime is and police aren't." "I never laid eyes on any of them." "Just in. An unknown perp released all patients from the East Wing of Blackgate." "What? That's crazy!" "Crazy enough to lure a Rainboom." Both detectives left out and Rainboom Wave caught wind of it. At Canterlot High School "Hey Rainbow," Scootaloo asked Rainbow. "Do you think you can become a coach?" "I'm not even sure on that," Rainbow replied then her phone rang. "What's up?" "A break-in at Blackgate. Scoots save my seat. I'll check it out. "Sure thing," Rainbow left the school gym and went outside and got into costume and became the carrier of wind, Tornado, and called for her bike, the Cloud Chaser but it ran right past her and stop. "Note to self remind Trevor to work on the braking," Rainbow thought to herself. "Hey, Sunset," Rainbow called on her phone. "You there?" "Yeah," Sunset was on the other end. "What's up?" "There's a report of break-in at Blackgate out of nowhere someone knocked the medic and release most of the prisoners. Something tells this is no ordinary jerk is at it. Interested?" "On my way," Sunset replied then became firey female Phoenix and headed to Rainbow's location. ... Some time Later Both Rainbow and Sunset along with the police arrived at Blackgate. The officers got out and most of the prisoners walking around and the saw a large jack-in-the-box. "What the..." The box stop turning and exploded taking out part of the bridge both Rainbow and Sunset watch on the other side from afar. "That was theatrical," Rainbow said. "No kidding," Sunset agreed. "Let's have a look." Both girls headed inside and searched around the prison and saw someone. Rainbow walked up and turn him around only to see he had a nasty grin and was frozen in place. "Whoa," Rainbow gasped then heard someone laughing. "Takes after his dad, wouldn't you say?' The man asked then grins. "What did you do to him?" Sunset asked. "Just some laugh gas, drag. Don't tell me you're not an inmate." The man jumped to Rainbow and Sunset's level. "What rationals beings dress like you two? Speaking of threads think this a good look for me?" "Who are you?" Rainbow confronted him. "Trickster." "No what, who?" Rainbow started to wipe the face paint off him but it didn't come off. "Smear-free. It's perma-clown." Rainbow narrowed her eyes at him. "Ohh, tough crowd." Trickster did a backflip. "Look! Nothing up my sleeves," He pulled out a spray can. "Nothing that won't put a smile on your face. Say cheese." Sunset fire a small flame making Trickster lose his spray into sewers. "I'm out of gas," Then Rainbow approached him. "And I'm out of patience!" Rainbow punches him, ripping the long sleeves off of him. "You really know how to spoil a coming-out party. How do you expect me to spread mirth and whimsy with a proper hideout?" "Dude, you're sick!" Rainbow shot back. "You need help." "Well, maybe I am a little off." Trickster did a double kick and send both Rainbow and Sunset to the ground. "But what are gonna do, lock me in the loony bin?" He asked them. "I'm already here." Outside, Spitfire and Greg arrived at Blackgate and exited the car. "Situation report?" Greg asked one of the officers. "We're rounding up patients and waiting for choppers to take us over," An officer said as Spitfire started to walk. "Like we'll get any drier," she said as she dives into the lake. "My new partner, triathlon whiz," Greg explained as he did the same. Inside Both Rainbow and Sunset engage in battle with Trickster. "You know I really love this place," Trickster said as he dodge their attacks. "My old hideout's a shambles and these digs scream me." Sunset did a scissor kick and Rainbow followed up with a punch and send him to the ground, "Okay take back the asylum but mark my words, this town has happy days ahead," Trickster threw his razor-sharp cards at them but both of them duck the cards at the wall and then ran away making Rainbow and Sunset follow. Both of them turned the corner a saw the jack-in-the-box. "You gotta be kidding me," Rainbow groaned then reserve the letter and stopped only for it to pop out confetti. "Smile, Canterlot," They heard Trickster's voice.' Meanwhile "Well, better split up," Spitfire said as she and Greg got out of the lake and then went opposite directions. Greg turned around and saw Rainbow and Sunset with the Medic. "You have the right to remain silent," Greg pulled his badge out before Rainbow and Sunset took off. "Galloway, spot the perp?" Spitfire asked. "Okay, so they are real," Greg thought to himself. At the Rainbooms' Secret Lair. "Rainbow, Sunset, a stranger in the lair?" Twilight asked as she and Fluttershy entered. "Make this an exception," Rainbow said. "What happened?" Twilight asked. "New villain who goes by Trickster," Sunset replied. "Oh dear, the man could use a dentist," Fluttershy added. "Or a medic," "Right then," As Fluttershy and Twilight pitched in. ... Cheif Andrews, any suspects yet in this bizarre jack-in-the-box hostage incident? I'm not at liberty to reveal whom. But I feel confident our detectives are closing in on him as we speak. As the news was on in Sunset's apartment. "And Wondercolt alumni Rainbow Dash, with nary an alibi," Twilight said as she and the rest of the girls enter the room. "How is the patient?" Sunset asked. "Despite the massive grin, fit as a fiddle. The poor fellow is simply a prisoner in his own mind." The knock appeared at the door. "Who that can be?" As Applejack checked it out. "Twilight?" Fluttershy asked turning to her. "Can you make an antidote?" "I need a sample of Trickster's gas for it to work," Twilight replied. "We need to find it before this madman leaves a permanent smile on all of Canterlot," Rarity exclaimed. "But where could he be?" "He did mention an old hideout?" Pinkie asked Sunset who popped out of everywhere. "Yes," Sunset replied. "So if we find out the old hideout we find the Trickster." "Uh, girls someone is here to see us," Applejack said. "Who is it, Applejack?" Rarity asked. "The cops," Applejack as they saw Dect. Galloway at the doorway. "Detective, what with the sudden visit?" Fluttershy asked. "I came here to say how it's been guys," Greg smiled. "It been wonderful darling," Rarity said. "Rainbow went to the game last night." "Speaking of what happened to Trevor, Tyler, Scottaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Apple Bloom? We were supposed to shoot hoops last week." "Those two have been buried in work 24/7," Twilight said. "Considering the fact we work for them." "You guys work at Talon Labs?" "Yeah we do silly," Pinkie appeared right in front of him. "So, why the sudden visit?" Rainbow asked. "Just needed to talk to someone. Other than the guys at the station, I mean. This going to sound weird but last night.., I saw the Rainbooms at least two of them." Then Pinkie accidentally broke a vase upon hearing this. "My bad," Pinkie aplozied. "So," Sunset refocused the conservation. "the Rainbooms are real? What did they look like?" "One of the artists had this drawing of them," Greg gave them the photo of Rainbow and Sunset in their costumes. "Whoa," All of them gasped. "Whoa is right, but this is the tough part, I really believe that the Rainbooms are helping Canterlot even if they are on the wrong side of the law. But they're getting a bad rap and the heat's on me to bring them all on down." ... ... "Are sure this is the place?" Rainbow asked Pinkie while both were looking at an abandoned factory as Tornado and Sparkplug. "Yep," Pinke replied. "The perfect place for a clown-like him." Then both of them enter a saw him. "Stop me if you heard this one before," Trickster said. "There were these two fellows in abandoned party favor factory. One says the other..." "Where are you keeping the gas, Trickster?" Rainbow asked not following his joke. "You called that a punch line?" "I don't share your sense of humor. Unlike Sparkplug I share hers." "But we're linked, like comedy and tragedy, two sides on the same coin." "The gas, Trickster, or vow I will turn your smile upside-down." "If it's gas you want," Trickster cut one of the ropes causing a sandbag to fall down on the down but they avoided it. "Place all tray tables in their upright positions." He said as took off in his blimp and laugh maniacal. "Rainbow," Twilight's voice was on her earpiece. "Any luck on finding the gas?" "We did, but we have a problem," Rainbow replied. "What kind of problem?" "That Trickster filled his ballon with his gas. And going to pop it over Canterlot," Pinkie said. "Ok, that is a problem, calling in the big guns," Rainbow called for her motorcycle. At Canterlot PD "A ballon downtown this time of year?" Greg asked. "That's-" "Crazy?" Spitfire finish his thought. "I'll drive." ... ... "If loving me wait you get a load my pop," Trickster said without reazling that Rainbow and Pinkie were followed him on his balloon jumped on it and kicked him. "Alrlight clown, stop this thing," Rainbow demand while grabbing him. "With what brakes," Trickster grinned then throw her off him and right into Pinkie. "It's Tornado and Sparkplug." Spitfire saw them while driving. "And they're pummeling a clown." "The jack in the box, Spitfire," Greg thoughted. "What if clowny behind the Blackgate incident?" Tirckster send Pinkie and Rainbow dangling from the balloon then he armed his mallet. "Explains the missing orderly," "Maybe they took the medic, because... the guy needed help or something." "Fair enough. Where chasing three perps. A crinmal and two vigilantes." "Watch the pinkies," Trickster prepare to swing but missed. "Twilight, are you there?" Rainbow asked. "I'm here," Twilight said she as tech whiz Cyber Witch. Twilight used her magic and guided the balloon away from the state. "East, Canterlot Bay," Spitfire followed them to the shore. "You have made one very sad clown!" Trickster prepeaed to swing his mallet. "That's odd where they go?" "Knock-knock," A voice said. "Who's there?" Trickster turned around and Applejack was right behind as the heavy hitterherself Rock Roller and knocks him out. "Fluttershy, are you ready?" Sunset asked her. "Yeah I'm ready," Fluttershy was the nature loving Vine. "Here goes nothing," Fluttershy brought forth two vines and brought Trickster's balloon down into water. "Balloon is down everyone." "Perfect," Rartiy smiled as the chilly superhero fashion-forward persona Ice Breaker . "Allow me to accqiuire the sample." Rartiy went in the water and used her ice daggers and torn a hole through the balloon disperse in the water. "My precious gas, passed by a couple party poopers," Trickster said as he was in the water. "Sorry my good sir, Me and my friends had an different punch line in mind." Rarity said boldy then froze him. As the Rainbooms left Greg and Spitfire arrived at the scene. "At least we can take the clown in," Spitfire said. "I know you love to swim," Greg joked. "Scoots," Rainbow called her. "Can you and the rest of the guys move our guest out of the Lair. We got an antidote to whip up." A few hours later. "Steiner, check. Mcswain, check. 223, new arrival. Check." The Medic saw the Trickster in his cell. "They all said I was sick in the head. They said I needed help. Well maybe I am a bit batty. Blame the Rainbow in my belfry," Trickster ranted then laugh manical knowing this wouldn't be the last time they see him. Short Story #2-Call of CardsAuthor's Note After much waiting here the second story of HCC explaining the Rivalry of Spade and Rarity Short Story #2-Call of Cards It was another night in Canterlot City as CPD was on the scene. “Third high rise this week, all with the same MO,” Greg said to Spitfire. “No prints, no forced entry, no physical evidence of any kind.” “We can’t rule the Rainbooms if any of them were burglars,” Spitfire said. Both detectives left the scene and Cyber Witch and Ice Breaker walked through the window. “Alright now that cops are gone, let’s see if they have any clues to these robberies,” Cyber Witch said then turned on her mask’s flashlight and found something. “Well, what do we have here…” Cyber Witch took a photo of it. “Say I found something rather strange,” Ice Breaker found a feather and then heard footsteps. “Do you hear that?” “Yeah,” Cyber Witch replied. “The cops let’s go.” Both walked out of the apartment before the police. Later at the Rainboom Lair. “So what is it?” Rarity asked while Twilight check it out. “It appears to strictly nebulosa laponica, a rare species of owl native to China,” Twilight explained. “According to the Rainboom search function, these scratches from the victim’s table match the owl’s talon span. Which means…” “Someone had trained a bird to perform burglaries,” Rarity finished the thought. “Oh good heavens, I just remembered something, Trevor and Tyler are hosting a gala fundraiser and all of us need to be there.” “Isn’t that tomorrow night?” “It is ‘tomorrow night’.” Later “Do we really have to do this?” Applejack asked. “Yes,” Rarity replied. “We wouldn’t any guests growing suspicious of how most spend our night.” “Well be a monkey’s uncle,” a man exclaimed. “Rarity , how are you this fine evening?” “Have we met?” Rarity asked. “Shaw. Jonah Shaw, of the new Casual Shaws, but you call me Jonny and must say you look a princess.” “Thank you, but I never heard-“ “I’ve been abroad. Just got back of from the tour of the orient.” “I see.” “Nice seeing you, I hope we can meet each other again… ooh appetizers,” Jonah went for the snack bar. “That guy is weird, weirder than Pinkie,” Applejack said. “I never heard of them.” “Well I did heard of the Shaws,” Trevor said as walked to them. “My both my uncle and aunt worked for them back in England and very obnoxious bunch as well. They worked themselves to the bone for wretched snobs and treated them like dogs then have the absolute nerve to fire them!” “Let’s just hope that he not like them,” Applejack said. “Trust me, AJ, once a Shaw always a Shaw.” With Rainbow and Sunset “You know, trespassing’s against the law,” Rainbow said as both of them walked to Greg’s car. “Busted,” Greg exclaimed. “Greg. I see you brought a guest.” “My partner.” “Hi, Name’s Rainbow and this Sunset.” “Detective Spitfire.” “If not any trouble, you can join the party.” “Not tonight, we’re on the clock.” “Cheif’s orders. Keeping an eye on high-profile events with that strings of robberies and all.” “Aah!” A woman screams caught the group's attention. “Are you okay?” Sunset asked her. “A bird attack me.” “Freaky. When I was a kid, a seagull snagged my sandwich.” “I’m sure it just thought your rubies were berries.” Hours later, everyone was cleaning up. “The odd thing is, I was certain, I’d heard of the Shaw Fortune had been lost for decades,” Trevor said holding Shaw’s donation. “They had to leave England to avoid shame.” “I’m sure that they found some luck along the way, bro,” Tyler came to his side. “But we have a board meeting in the morning and don’t dream about them in your sleep and what about you ladies?” “We have some bird-watching to do,” Pinkie said as she and others entered the lair. … Tornado was flying through the city and sees birds carrying jewels. “Time for bird control,” Tornado exclaimed as flew after them and straight to a limousine with his kimmo girls. “One of Shaw’s girls.” “So where it’s twin?” The second one came down and kicked her to the ground and both drop the clothing and revealed to razor sharp claws. “Whoa,” Tornado exclaimed as one them came right at her but dodges it and then a spin kick at her not before the other one kicks her into a wall. “Great. Double Trouble.” Before anyone can do anything, both of them were shocked, Sparkplug came down. "Thanks, Sparks," Torando thanked her. "Now let's kick their butts," Sparkplug exclaimed then both got in the car and left. "Party poopers." "Hey, Sparkplug. Tornado, head back to the lair," Vine came through on their through on comms. "Cyber Witch had a breakthrough." ... "High-rise jewels thefts baffle the police," Twilight read the newspaper in the Chinese article to the others. "Dozens of similar crimes across Asia when suddenly stopped last week." "So?" Rainbow asked. "Then stopped in China, then started back up in Canterlot, meaning Shaw is behind it," Twilight figured it out. "And he use the guest list for tonight's crime spree." "Uh, as anyone has seen Trevor?" Fluttershy asked. "I'm not sure, he told me he was going out for a bit," Tyler asked. "But it a good thing that our phones have tracking signal... just a moment and got it. that's odd." "What's odd?" "According to his location, he is at the Shaw Mansion. No wonder why he left out, Shaw must've pickpocketed him without knowing." "We need to get there before he does bad to him." ,,, "Well speak of the devil," Jonah said while looking at Trevor. "What brings you here?" "Well, first of all, reclaiming some stolen property of mine, and believe me the only thing keeping me from kicking your butt, is the shame of the news of losing the family fortune." "Who cares. about that, the good old days when Shaws were kings are coming back, cause I am gonna restore the Shaw name its former wealth and glory." "And let me guess, and the best way to do is stealing like a common criminal, you have a long way to go." "Not as long as think, buddy," He shows Trevor the sash of gold then one of the birds shows up. "You were behind the high rises," Trevor said then strapped down his robots. "My pets haven't been fed this evening," Jonah said then release his birds. "And they are famished. But why feed them seed, when they can have a treat of meat." As the birds came and were about to converge on him from out of nowhere a gem shield stopped them and Ice Breaker holding it. "Who's that?" Jonah asked. "What are you doing here?" She asked him. "Long story," Trevor replied as the rest of the Rainbooms showed. "Sorry about this," Vine said as she used her telepathy to make the birds fly out of Shaw Manor. "Come back, pretties!" "Nice going." "So, the tales of Rainbooms are true but really who names themselves after a rainbow and a sonic boom," Jonah smirked and send his robots but not after Cyber Witch used her magic and put the two in a cage and lock them. "That takes care of those two," Tornado smirked. "Now where is that cheese head." "I just one question for all of you," The Rainbooms and Trevor heard his voice. "How you'd find me?" "You left a trail of breadcrumbs, Shaw," Sparkplug answered him. Pheonix felt a sting on her head, showing a vision that Shaw was right behind Vine ready to strike. "Vine! Look out!" Vine kicked him in the gut, knocking him back a little, and he recovered and had two swords behind his back. "Please! Now that all pretenses are off, call me Spade, because all always have an ace in my sleeve!" He threw one of them at Rockrolller and Tornado, then blindsided them with a swift kick. "Holy cupcakes!" Sparkplug exclaimed. "A couple of tricks I picked up at the orient," Spade laughs than a magic blast almost hit him. "I have few tricks of my own," Ice Breaker said as she armed her Ice Dagger. "Bring it Ice Queen." Both of them lunged at each other with their weapons. Both of them went to the tree and Spade drops two cages on her and then strike his sword as he came down, but not before Pheonix did her Flame Spiral Kick at him and landed Spade on a branch. "If you what good for you, stand down," Pheonix told him. "Not a chance lass," Spade said bringing out his Spade Chain and slicing the branch. "Let me guess, a little something you picked up in the orient." Cyber Witch came to her fellow heroes and armed her Sparkle Stars and threw one of them. "Nothing gets by you," Spade deflects it, freeing Trevor's right hand. "How convenient," As Trevor frees himself. Spade continues to use his chain, as the Rainbooms dodged it, until, the chain caught Ice Breaker and was trapped. "Ohh, caught me a big one," Spade exclaimed while reeling her in. "How dare you, you vile brute!" Ice Breaker snapped at him and pulled him toward him and gave a Freezing Kick and send him crashing into the birdfeeder and seeds fell down on him. "Ouch, he's going to feel that one in the morning." Rock Roller exclaimed. "There's a nice cage waiting for you in Canterlot Prison," Ice Breaker said. "As it was thrilling watching you guys, kick bad-guy butts, now then, " Trevor said. "From now on, I shall leave you the sleuthing." Casuse I'm going to restore the Shaw Family to its former wealth and glory, Spade woke up and arms his guns and was prepared to fire. "Behind you!" Trevor said, then Ice Breaker froze him solid. "And that for aunt and uncle." "Should we leave him?" Vine asked. "Let the police deal with him, darling." Ice Breaker told as they left. Short Story #3-TractionDeep within the sewers of Canterlot. "Why are meeting here?" One mob boss said. "Everyone knows they have eyes everywhere." "Relax," A second one said. "The Rainbooms thinks we left town months ago." "I encounter three of them and they dismantled my op brick by brick and all before lunch." "Took down all my men that money could buy. Heck, I can't even sleep nights." "Yeah, those girls ruined me as well," A third one came in. "But you can kiss those worries goodbye. I found the solution to our problem. A merc volunteered for some physical enhancements in a secret lab deep in the Amazon. Wild, eh?" "Yeah, we got the money." "We're in." "Gentleman, meet Jawbreaker." A guy in a trenchcoat approached them. "Are you sure this guy can take them down?" "Yeah, seven on one are bad odds." "There is much more to me than meets the eye." "Hey Tyler," Applejack greeted him. "What you're working on?" "Don't know yet, but it will be cool. The engineers have no clue, that they're building tech for you and the others." Hours later, an armored truck was making its way to the bank. "What the" The driver was forced to stop by a construction sign. "Construction, at this time of night. Then the truck was flipped over by an unknown figure, then Rock Roller arrive and walked toward the truck. "The money's still there, I've been baited." "Rock Roller I assume?" "The masked look is really catching on," "Defeat me, and you can remove it." "Sorry bucko, I don't fight for the pleasure." "Then fight for your life!" He charged right at her only to miss. then Rock Roller easily overpower him and threw him into the armored truck. "Alright, partner, start talking, you can start with name and motive." "I am Jawbreaker, the person you ever face or see." Jawbreaker used his chemical steroid infusion to make himself bigger and stronger. Jawbreaker roared and tried to punch her but Rock Roller dodged it, and hit a lampost instead. "Lights out, Rockhead!" Rock Roller tossed her rope and swung on out of there. "Go on, flee!" Jawbreaker didn't realize that Rock Roller swung around and kick him in the face. As Jawbreaker closed in, Rock Roller did a series of punches and kicks that he was unfazed by, which force her to form pillars of stone and throw at him but still hang on, in a quick second Jawbreaker grabbed her and smashed her toward the ground then threw on a wall, then back on the ground, Then Jawbreaker throws her across the wall that knocked her out. "Take the money! Take it!" one of the guards pleaded. Jawbreaker approached the truck and lift it only for him to take two money sacks. "Pocket change. With the muscle gone, Canterlot is mine," Jawbreaker exclaimed then left. Hours passed as Rock Roller came around and used every last bit of energy she had to get walk into an alley "Fluttershy, need help," She called Fluttershy's number as Spitfire and Greg showed up. "What happened?" Spitfire asked as she and Greg untie them. "Big guy! Wears a mask!" "One of the Rainbooms?" "Bigger! Threw Rock Roller that wall!" Greg and Spitfire looked a the wall where Rock Roller was thrown. "Okay, if a dude was buff enough to her through bricks," Greg stated. "There's no way that Rock Roller could walk away from it." "So, where'd she go?" Little did the detectives know that Vine had Rock Roller on her back by using spirit bear form. "Dispatch, requesting APB on masked suspect of Rogers and Engelhart, be advised perp is extremely dangerous," AS Greg called HQ. "And send units to all area hospitals. We're looking for any new admissions with multiple fractures. If we find the patient, we find out Rock Roller's true identity." "So let me get this straight, Applejack had a run-in with Jawbreaker that some kind of weapon that made 10 times stronger and put the hurt on her," Rainbow asked Fluttershy which she nodded. "Then why not take her to the hospital, darling," Rarity added. "I tried but the police were already there by the time I made it," Fluttershy explained. "Spitfire must've figured if Applejack was admitted to hospital and had the same injuries as Rock Roller her cover would blow." "Hey what's this I hear about the cops combing hospitals for Rock Roller?" "I thought this guy was supposed to solve our problems." "If I did not break all of Rock Roller's bones. I guarantee you, I crush her spirit!" Jawbreaker assured them. "How's she doing?" Rarity asked. "So far she is stable, but looking at the x-rays, we're looking at multiple fractures," Trevor explained. "I thought she had rhino-like skin?" "She does. She can take a multitude of blows and still be strong enough to fight. As long as they're not all critical blows." "And with AJ sitting in here, Jawbreaker is running around Canterlot taking whatever he wants," Rainbow exclaimed. "As there's no way the police can handle him. We got to do something!" "May I remind you, that Jawbreaker has a fuel line that makes him strong and nearly invincible skin, how are we supposed to deal with him?" Twilight asked then noticed something. "Has anyone seen Trevor or Tyler?" "Are you sure about this? Trevor asked as the two had finished Building something "I'm sure, knowing AJ she doesn't want to back out, but this design will even the odds," Tyler said as Applejack enter the lab. "Well would look that, AJ, how you are feeling?" "Feeling fine, still feel a little tight across my back," Applejack then look at something. "What in the hay is that?" "This is what we called the Rock Golem, it battlesuit that is strong as you in the event that really something bad happens," Trevor explained. "Like dealing with Jawbreaker, say where are the others?" "Take a good guess." All units, disturbance at 437 Adams. Masked Intruder on-premises. As the police dispatch on heard in Spitfire's car. "This Spitfire, I'm in the area. I'll check it out." "Spitfire, Galloway, thought we were off-duty." "Jawbreaker didn't the memo." "Wait for my backup," Galloway only that Spitfire left her car and ran up the building whereas Jawbreaker found a vault filled with money. "Canterlot PD! Hands in the air!" Spitfire exclaimed as she aim her pistol at him. Jawbreaker threw his fist at Spitfire only to step back then actually grab her gun and smash it. Then he grab her and tossed her across the room. "Night-Night, detective," Jawbreaker exclaimed then the elevator opened up and saw the Rock Golem. "So you did survive." "I'm tougher than I look." Jawbreaker came right at her but Rock Roller braced it and tossed it into an elevator then Jawbreaker got out and ran back to her. Downstairs, Greg waited for the elevator only for it to come crashing down. "Alright, stairs it is." Back up top, both Jawbreaker and Rock Roller continued to brawl with each other. That until Jawbreaker lunged forward, then both landed on another building. Jawbreaker quickly grabs a pillar and tries to slice her. ... "Spitfire!" Greg saw her lying on the ground. "Need an ambulance, 437 Adams, and every available unit for backup." Then Ice Breaker tapped his shoulder. "Are you sure want to do that darling?" Ice Breaker asked as he looked through and saw the Rock Golem and Jawbreaker fighting. "On second thought... Dispatch cancel backup, just the ambulance," "Thank you, good sir," Ice Breaker said then jumped out of the window to meet up with the others. "How she's doing?" "Not good," Torando replied as Jawbreaker tore right through it then Rock Roller plucked the pillar and tackle right into him then Jawbreaker punch her right in the eye. "You can't... beat...Jawbreaker." Jawbreaker holds her and smashes her through a wall. "I left you with some dignity last time but now I will unmask you and then break the rest of your bones." As Jawbreaker tore it, Cyber Witch look at the fuel line and hatched an idea. "Sparkplug, a static blast as his fuel line!" "Done!" As Sparkplug fired a plasma bolt at Jawbreaker fuel line that severely shock him then it shorted out returning him back to normal. "Uh, I appreciate the offer but I may need a little help," Rock Roller said. "Say no more," Tornado said. ... [Jawbreaker was found unconscious at the scene amid signs of a struggle but who Jawbreaker struggled with remains a mystery. "Call me crazy there was different about her?" "You know that doesn't change things." "Yeah, I know." "Are you sure you want to go through this," Tornado asked as she and Rock Roller prepare to spar. "Don't you worry, Dash, I just need to watch those sudden moves, so what the ante this time?" Rock Roller asked. "Loser has to buy pizza the next time we have a sleepover." "Done." As both of them collied with each other. Author's Note That does it for this chapter next time it's two for one. Short Story #5-Topsy TurvyAs nightfall reaches the city, we head over to the courthouse to see a judge working in the late hours, he didn't realize that someone was in the shadows watching him then the judge heard a loud clank. "Hello? Is any there?" The judge asked then suddenly was ambushed by Trickster. "You? But I sentenced you, put you away for years. You're supposed to be in Blackgate!" Trickster said nothing a blasted his ray gun at him giving off a purple flash. Hours later, the police arrived along with Spitfire and Greg, including Pinkie and Fluttershy were watching from a building. "Canterlot PD," Greg holds his badge to the janitor. "In there. But you won't believe it," The janitor exclaimed. The officers and detectives enter the room only to see the judge being carded. "He's been carded. Literally," Greg gasped. "Quick, chip him out," Spitfire said as they ran over to him. Just as they reach for him, the carded judge was yanked by Trickster who was in his go-kart. "Trickster?" "After him!" The cops gave chased and Trickster exited out of the courtside ramming through the blockade. Once Greg and Spitfire were out, they saw two motorcycles passing by them. One detail with pink balloons and lighting bolts and the other one with butterflies, and leaves. "I love a good car chase!" Pinkie exclaimed as the two got close to Trickster. Trickster did a hard right, and two girls follow him to Canterlot bridge then Trickster press a button on his kart, which let out an oil slick that cause both Pinkie's and Fluttershy's motorcycles to spin out of control and right into a pillar luckily the girls didn't sustain any injuries allowing Trickster to escape. "Cupcakes, he got away!" Pinkie glared as Fluttershy console with her. The next day at their hideout. "According to Blackgate, Trickster is still locked in his cell and has been there ever since," Twilight read the recent news on Blackgate. "Perhaps, Trickster left some manner of decoy in his place?" Rainbow asked. "Could be, but other things don't add up," Fluttershy came in. "Trickster abducted Judge White Castle but not before for the police and Pinkie and I to see." "Darling, you're not expecting Trickster to make sense, are you?" Rarity asked. "It was his calling card. His way of announcing his plan," Pinkie popped out of nowhere. "You think there's more to come?" Applejack asked. "Maybe, Tricky's out to collect a full deck of people who crossed him." "That would be about 51 more victims? Where do we even start?" "There's sure to a couple of names is sure to be on his list, us." ... "So what are doing here?" Fluttershy asked while she and Pinkie were inside Tricker's hideout. "Simple we're being bait for him, if you were a demented clown trying to bring a smile to Canterlot where you be?' Pinkie asked. As the two looked around, none of them knew that Trickster was watching from the shadows, but it lasted long as Pinkie's Pinkie Sense came at the right time as they avoided a laser blast from him then Fluttershy yanked the gun away from him which allowed Pinkie to kicked him right into debris to where he grabs a pogo-stick. "What's the matter Tricky, cat got your tongue?" Pinkie asked. Then the pogo-stick became a blaster and fired an energy blast at her but Fluttershy at the last second made her and Pinkie invisible so that it would miss creating a cloud of smoke and from within the cloud of smoke Pinkie fired an electric blast that cause Trickster's pogo-blaster to overload and explode and send him right into the wall. "Where's the judge?" Pinkie asked him while holding him. "How can you be in two places at once? And why the mime act?" Something dropped out of Trickster's shirt it was a pin with a radio of Trickster's laugh. "Wait a minute," Pinkie wondered then wipe his face only to see skin. "You're nothing but a cheap knockoff?" "How did you know?" "The real Trickster doesn't have makeup." Pinkie removed the mask after seeing a person. "Don't hurt me!" "Who are you?" "Quiet Fade, an orderly." "Blackgate?" "Trickster said he'd do me in unless I help him with his plan. Gave me the keys to his place bring him stuff." "Who else is Trickster after?" Quiet Fade reached for the gun and fired only that it was fake and with a message. "Suprise?" Fluttershy asked then heard a ticking sound which Pinkie knew all too well. "Get down!" both lay on the ground as the gun exploded and in a few seconds Quiet Fade was carded. "That could've gone well," Fluttershy sighed. "Clearly Trickster didn't want him to squeal," Pinkie realized. "So why didn't we chip him out and question him further?" "Don't you get it, Vine, Trickster play us for fools, it's time we get some answers, straight from the horse's mouth, at Blackgate." Both girls there way to Blackgate and snuck inside their way to Trickster's cell. "Well, look what the cat drag in, Sparky and Vines," Trickster said as the two inside of his cell. "What if I hadn't been decent?" "You were never decent to begin," Pinkie retorted. "Why bother sending a stand-in to your collection instead of us?" "To drive you and your galpals batty, of course. And it's working," Trickster then Fluttershy encased him in roots then slammed him on the wall. "Answers now!" She used her Stare on him. "Do you honestly think that I would send fluke to eliminate the likes of you? Ha! That is a pleasure I want for myself. And because I miss your company. Two sides of the same card. After all, Sparky knew where I would send my lookalike to find you and I knew all along that if I left a trail of breadcrumbs you gobble them up." "Then why have an orderly do your dirty work when you could just have him unlock your cell?" Pinkie asked. "Because you were my ace. My ace in the hole!" Trickster pulled his flute, played a note, and spew out gas that put both Pinkie and Fluttershy asleep. "I don't even need you two or the others in my card collection, I never play with a full deck!" Trickster laughed and then grabbed the keys from Pinkie. "Thanks to you, I'm right on schedule. Off to the theater!" Moments passed then both Pinkie and Fluttershy were outside of Blackgate. "Thank goodness we woke up before anyone saw inside, only for him to escape," Fluttershy said. "Then what are waiting, let's hightail to the Canterlot theater and also call the girls," Pinkie exclaimed. As Pinkie calls the others, Greg and Spitfire had made it to the Canterlot Theater. "If this is a prank, it's not funny," Greg groaned. "Feels more like a trap," Spitfire suggested. "You couldn't be any more right, my dear!" Trickster was right in front of them. "Showtime!" He used his knock-out gas and put both detectives in deep sleep. Moments later the two woke up to be inside the theater with everyone else that Trickster kidnapped then everyone else woke up when the music played and the spotlight shine on Trickster. "Welcome to Trickster's Revenge-O-Rama," Trickster started. "Allow me to introduce you to our first guest..." He quickly came off stage only to come back with the carded White Caste. "Judge White Castle! He's such a card." "I'll deal Trickster a hand once I get my foot out of this shoe." "Wait, partner, let's not do anything rash," "Now, most of you are wondering why are you here. Because you all done me wrong!" Trickster exclaimed. "Whitey, you sentence me to life in the loony bin. Detectives, you slapped the cuffs on me. Shame on you. Frisk, how many times do have I told, you I hate mac and cheese! Oh, how I've wanted to deck all of you. So deck you I shall!" Trickster warms up his Deck Blaster then pulled back the curtain to show the ocean and kicked the carded judge into the sea. "Have fun with the fishes!" "Let's see you laugh at this, clown!" Spitfire slipped out of her shoes, then lunge at him. Trickster fired the Deck Blaster at her, and in sheer minutes Spitfire was carded. "Ahh, the queen of hearts." "Trickster, you better not..." "Don't make me slap you, Jack!" Trickster warned him. "Get it? Slapjack?" Nobody realize the Rainbooms were watching from above. "Set nozzle to wide. Time for my favorite game, 52 pickup!" He was about to fire when suddenly the curtain dropped down on him. "The reviews are in, Trickster," Twilight said as he looked above to see them. "Your show's a flop!" Trickster fired his Deck Blaster at them, making all of them dodge it, then both Rainbow and Applejack kick him at the ribcage. "You girls, can't stay away from me, can you? I guess opposites do attract. He pulled on the rope that send him up, and a sandbag down that the girls avoided them then Pinkie and Twilight followed him. "Come on, let's get these people out of here before Trickster brings the house," Sunset addressed as the others help the people. ... Trickster made it to the top but was quickly stopped by Twilight's magic blast. "You're going back, to Blackgate, for a long game of solitaire!" Pinkie exclaimed. "Funny, Sparkplug, you're quick with the punchline!" Trickster fired his boxing glove spring at her making her fall down, then Twilight yanked it away with her magic, then the two of them crashed him back into the theater. Trickster got up and slowly walked to his Deck Blaster. "Sorry, ladies! But he who laughs last laughs the best." He fired the Deck Blaster at them but a Diamond came in front of them to repel the blast and came right at him and carded him. "You gambled Trickster, you've lost," Rarity smirked seeing the carded villain. Short Story #6-Know your CluesAt the Canterlot Oprea House, Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer were enjoying a lovely concert as the violin playing was finished. Before we continue, I'd like to acknowledge some of the donors who made Canterlot's great concert hall possible. Trevor and Tyler Sanders and Sound Beat, philanthropist and successful pianist. What will play for us tonight? "I will be playing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata Opus 27, #2." Sound Beat sat down only for a whoopee cushion to go off, then he prepare to play a note only for a toy duck to pop out from a piano then it rolled off stage. "Go time?" "Go time." Twilight and Sunset exited from their seats and put on their costumes and chased after the van that had kidnapped the pianist, just as there were to get close the driver step on the gas making the van go faster losing them. "Talk about burning rubber," Sunset said. Later at Rainboom Hideout... "Well despite the glossier uptown venue. Tonight's abduction of Sound Beat and Bright Light has all earmarks of this afternoon," Sunset reading the Daily Crown web page. "Both were highly theatrical and public humiliations." "Like those game shows from Japan," Spike wondered then Sunset and Twilight gave him confused looks. "What? I like to watch the TV when you are out of the house." "Could the kidnappings be for money?" Twilight asked. "There's no ransom, whoever is behind it must be personal," Sunset thought about it. "Which means there has to be a link between them," Twilight searched for any possible matches then her computer found one. "Got it, both of them worked together 30 years ago on a game show called Think. Thank. Thunk." "I've heard of that show," Sunset said. "The show was canceled due to a scandal." "Well, it looks like someone is harboring a grudge," Twilight then looked at an old video of the show. "It seems that Greedle Vunder, a talented young mind lost. His mom filed a lawsuit against the producer, Bright Light was rigged." "Bright Light was loaded with money and had friends inside of City Hall." "So what happened?" Spike asked. "The case was in favor of Bright Light and the case was dismissed and for Greedle, he faded into obscurity and Violet became a world chess champion. That's it!" "What it?" "Violet's playing in Canterlot tonight, and that means so our villain of the day." At the Canterlot Dome, Violet was playing a chees against a chess-playing robot and Violet was winning, when Bishop Piece snatched her and went backstage, then Sunset and Twilight kicked it. "Knight takes Bishop," Twilight said then Sunset tackled a hooded guy to rip off the hood seeing a guy. "What the...oof!" Both girls ambushed by swarmed by them. One of them leaped forward only for Twilight to use her magic and send him to the ground. "Hey fella, try picking on someone your own size," Sunset said before a hood guy threw a flash grenade at them blinding them the remaining hoods took Violet into the same getaway car. "That could have gone well." "Let's get, before the cops show," Twilight teleported herself and Sunset out of there. ... "Greedle Vunder was a student with a bright future, but it looks like threw it all away all over obsession with a game," Sunset said. "Thank Celestia, Princess Twilight knocked some sense into me before I played out my revenge plot. " "And now we got to deal with a quiz guy trying to re-act his childhood revenge fantasy." "Welcome one and all to Think. Thank. Thunk I'm Quizmaster and now let's meet our players. Three of the worst liars and cheats seen on national television. Here's how it works. You will take turns asking me questions. If get it wrong you get a point. Get three points and go free. However, if I guess correctly. I score a point. Three points for me and you all get dunked in acid." ... "This is the place," Sunset said as she and Twilight found the place. "Let's go." Both dropped down and headed to the doorway and enter. "Get ready for anything." Several Quizmaster goons surrounded them and the of them being to fight. ... "With Jason being the last one, that's all 50 Argonauts, am I right?" Quizmaster asked then one of them nodded. "That's one point for me." "Come on, that was an easy one? Give me a harder one?" Meanwhile, Twilight and Sunset fought their way downstairs and made it to Quizmaster's compound where he scored again. "Two points for me, and zero points for you. You better score or it's acid town." "In the subject of math, what is the number of pi?" Violet asked. "Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. But that number cannot be expressed as a finite decimal. But in the spirit of gamesmanship, I will reduce it to 100 decimal places." "But you won't have a chance to do it," Sunset said then look at Sunset and Twilight. "Ah! Pheonix and Cyber Witch. Your timely arrival proves that there's at least, that is some intellect in Canterlot worthy of Quizmaster." "Give it up, Greedle.' "Greedle Vunder never surrenders, but in terms of fairness, I give you, Cyber Witch one chance to spare their cheating lives. A bound round!" "Sorry, buddy, we're not in the mood for games," Sunset came in. "But she will play or they get acid-washed." "Is this all you have to show for your life, Greedle? Bitterness and revenge. You could have done something with your talents." "Bonus round! Stop Quizmaster and they go free." Twilight are you sure you want to do this? Don't worry Sunset, I got just the question to ask him. "Ok, Quizmaster, I'll play along. So, what can I ask you about?" "Anything." "No topic is off limits?" "Any topic as you please, get on with it!" "Okay. Name the identity of the Rainbooms." "Trick question! Ask another question!" "You said I could ask anything." "No fair!" Quizmaster complained then proceeded to drop the constants in the acid until Twilight her Sparkle Stars to jammed it. "Cheater! I'll show you the true identity of the Rainbooms!" Sunset quickly fired a magic blast at his feet making him fall down. Shortly after Quizmaster was taken to Blackgate... "Not bad, Sparkle, beating Quizmaster at his own game, so what do you want to do next?" Sunset asked. "Up for a game of chess?" Twilight suggested. "You're on," then two of them started to play chess. Short Story #4-Fire and IceIt was a cold and freezing day in Canterlot as a snowstorm came by, but a robbery was usually in progress courtesy of Blowtorch. "Come down with your hands up!" an officer said as the Canterlot PD arrived. "You shouldn't play with Blowtorch," He said as he flew right at them blasting a laser and slicing the car and causing them to crash. "Are those guys okay?" Another one asked. "Yeah, they're alright." "In this town, I'm the heat." "No I'm the heat," Pheonix proudly said as she wore her winter gear. "Burn!" Blowtorch fired a laser at her but she dodged it and was on top of him. Blowtorch tried to shake her off but Pheonix hanged on. "So how'd you plan to get me down?" "You're going to run out of fuel soon." Then he saw a truck with a gas tank. "Well let's fill her up, then!" Blowtorch blasted the tank and then drop Pheonix as the tank exploded. "Take that!" Blowtorch smiled then he flew away. Moments later Pheonix came out of the fallen debris a little shaken up but not before the police caught up and surrounded her. "Forget, Blowtorch, we just scored chief's public enemy number one," An officer looked at Pheonix then most of them aimed their guns. "I'm really not feeling the love here, boys," Pheonix said as she did a flame blast on the car that cause an explosion blinding them and allowing her to fly away. At the lab that Blowtorch broke into, Spitfire and the recon team were checking for clues, not knowing to any of them, that Spitfire receive called Pheonix on the Rainboom Wave. "Detective Spitfire." "You and Blowtorch had quite the winter cookout," Spitfire said seeing the explosion. "It was a blast, do you know what he took from the lab?" "Working on it." "Blowtorch has always worked for hire, if we knew what he took maybe we'd know who he took it for." "Honey, I'm home," Blowtorch said as arrived at Glacier's lair. "Got you something." He showed a snow globe to him. "Is this a joke?" Glacier asked. "Saw it in a window, but also got you the other thing," He gave him a computer chip. "Nice, but what kept you did the ice slow you down." "No, Pheonix, but I clip her wings." "Are you she was done for?" "Not sure, I bailed before the cops had a chance to catch up." "Nothing must stand in my way when I..." Blowtorch glared at him. "When we extend Canterlot's harsh winter into the permafrost. The city will be ours to shake up or shake down anytime we want. " At Rarity's house "Despite the cold," Rarity said as she made the final touches on her dress. "The Canterlot Police Gala has become the hot ticket. Though, Sunset, I rather find it odd that Trevor and Tyler are hosting the event given our stand with the knights in blue." "It's the least they could do for Canterlot's finest, but one day they will have their approval," Sunset chuckled a bit then received an alarm on her phone. "What is it?" "The Rainboom Wave, There's a break-in at Sanders Labs?" "Who would be crazy to pull a break-in in this type of weather?" "Only one person who can't feel the cold and nearly iced me." Meanwhile, Glacier froze the wall and was in the coldest part of the lab. "Liquid nitrogen. Don't touch," He read the sign that was holding it and grab a case of it. "Ahh..." Then a small diamond was struck at his fingertips. "I was expecting someone with a little more flair," Ice Breaker said as she and Pheonix came into the scene. "Such a cold reception, Ice Breaker." Glacier did a cryoblast at them making ran to opposite sides then Ice Breaker threw a flash grenade in his eyes blinding him then the two of them did a kick on both sides then the frosty villain came around and trap pounds of ice. "How shall ice you this time? Allow me to pick frozen brains," he arms his burning tip and walked towards them. As he continues to walk toward them, Pheonix launched a small fire orb at the tank of Liquid nitrogen that exploded and froze Glacier then he broke free, Then Rarity grab his burnt and use it on the ground to split up the floor and made him fall down. "Drat, he got away." "Don't worry about it, no doubt we see him again along with Blowtorch as I figured out that working together." With Blowtorch and Glacier "The vents are rerouted, G-man," Blowtorch welled the vents and moved them. "The heat that flows through these vents warms every blinding in Canterlot. With my cryo-accelerator we can do something about that," Glacier implied. At the police station, the party was in full swing. "Those girls think that some kind of savior but they're more harm than good Tyler," Chief Andrews said to Tyler. "I mean both Ice Breaker and Pheonix along Glacier trashed the lab!" "Both of them were lucky I wasn't there, I would've opened a can of hurt on them and delivered straight to you," Tyler replied. "You're my kinda guy, Sanders. Anyway getting more Cocco, catch you later." As the chief left, Rarity came up to him. "You don't mean that, do you?" "Of course not, considering the fact I get freezer-burn from the two of you, so what did Glacier grab?" "All he grab was a case of liquid nitrogen and he has formed a partnership with Blowtorch." "You know what they say, opposites attract." ... "The Freeze-o-Matic 9000's ready to blow." "As the cryo-accelerator amplifies my powers ten-fold. every citizen in Canterlot will have nowhere to run, as block by block, they are frozen out of their homes,' Glacier explained. "And what better block to beta-test than where the entire police force fortuitously assembles tonight." "I can hear them now. How did these ice cubes get in my pants?" "Let us begin." Blowtorch inserts the liquid nitrogen into the device causing it to warm up. "Fire up." Glacier put his hands on the controls and send an intense blast of ice into the vents that lead straight to Canterlot P.D. ... "Is it just me or did someone turn down the thermostat?" Rarity asked as the place feel a little cold. "Maybe the radiator is on the fritz," Sunset suggested then all of the vents poured streams of ice and freezing everybody including Rarity and Sunset. As they remain frozen, Sunset's geode started to glow and the ice started to melt. "That was a close one," Sunset was relieved. "Now on for more important things." Sunset did a fire blast that broke Rarity out of there. "Thank you, but now I have an understanding of what it means to be frozen," Rarity replied. "Shall we?" "Yep," Both headed out of the department and became their alter-egos, Pheonix and Ice Breaker once then headed out, Phoenix threw a fireball at a pillar of ice that exploded showing a trail to their boiler room. "Where there's frost, there's fire," they walked to the villains' location. ... "Second stop on the freeze-burn tour, City Hall," Blowtorch changed the vents to the direction of City Hall as he did, he caught in Ice Breaker's Crystal Ribbon. "Ice Breaker and Pheonix!" Glacier exclaimed. "Don't sweat it, I got them!" Blowtorch fired his laser at them, forcing Ice Breaker to retract it and dodge it, then Ice Breaker the terminal to the room. "Go, I cover you!" Pheonix said as she engaged with him and then made him fire right at the generator to the accelerator then joined Ice Breaker. "Idiot, you damaged it!" "We fix it. Chill!" "You chill!" As Glacier fired at Blowtorch and froze him solid then fired at Ice Breaker and Phoenix which they dodged. "Both of your demises may even warm my cold heart." As Glacier prepares to freeze them, Blowtorch frees himself and blasted him. "That was cold, Jack!" Blowtorch grabbed him and hurled Glacier into a vent and the two blasted at each other. "Well, that didn't take long," Ice Breaker exclaimed as they ran back to the terminal. "Now let's bring the heat." Ice Breaker pulls the burning tip forcing the ice to shatter she pulled on the lever to warm up the boiler and the ice around started to break. "They have started the boiler!" Glacier exclaimed. "Yeah, well some of us like it hot!" Blowtorch shot back then Glacier threw him and froze his fuel tank! "My fuel tank!" Glacier came out only to be caught by Ice Breaker's rope then he froze it, knocking her back and right into Pheonix. "Bye-bye, Ladies." "I wouldn't be so sure." Vent came out and release hot air that Glacier passed out by it. "Feed a cold," Pheonix started. "Starve a fever." Ice Breaker finished. ... At the police station "Hey, guys! Check this out!" One of the officers grabs everyone's attention and heads outside they see both Glacier and Blowtroch in a crystal cage. "Glacier and Blowtorch did this?" Andrews asked. "Well these two won't be giving us any trouble," Spitfire said. "Nice work, boys." "It wasn't us," The officer shook his head. "It was them." He pointed up and saw Pheonix and Ice Breaker landed on the building, then the people started to clap for them. "I told you, that the people would adore us," Ice Breaker said as she smile back at them and then left.

"Exactly," Pinkie brings out a cake. "Well, I'm for one to say I am proud to be a friend and ally to stop those brutes," Rarity exclaimed. Then Morning approaches Cheif Andrews, can verify rumors that it was the Rainbooms who handled Tyson Kidd and his gang last night? Do you know of anyone who's actually seen them? Because they are known as an Urban Legend. As the news was on. "Are you kidding me?!" Scootaloo exclaimed while watching the Daily Horseshoe. "You guys are so real!" "Easy Scoots," Rainbow calms her down. "Remember, we are not supposed to attract the heat." Well there you have it. In only three years' time, our crime rate has dropped to a nationwide low thanks to Canterlot's finest. Back to you Jim. Next up, Billonares Trevor and Tyler Sanders contributed an unprecedented sum to Canterlot children's hospital. And in sports, Wondercolt Basketball kicks off a new season with a home game with Shadowville Hunters. "Shadowville? Who the heck are they?" Scootaloo asked. "The Shadowville Hunters are a second biggest rival to Crystal Prep," Rainbow explained. "But it has been back and forth with them." "We are going to the game right?" Scootaloo asked. "We are," Rainbow agrees. "But Trevor and Tyler have something to show us." At Canterlot PD "Got anything on vigilantes this time Galloway," Andrews asked his detective Greg Galloway. "Other the fact, that they wrap Kidd's butt for us?" Greg stated. "Well, it's up to you and your new partner to see if they don't become a folk hero," "Partner? Since when?" "Since I decided two heads are better one," Andrews let someone in. "Detective Greg Galloway, meet Detective Spitfire formally of Cloudsdale PD. Their loss." "Hey, partner," Spitfire greeted him. "Welcome to Canterlot," Greg shakes hands. "Now that both of you are acquainted, find me the Rainbooms whoever they are." At Talon Labs "Ladies, you may be wondering why we call you here today? Trevor asked. "Yeah, what with that?" Rarity asked. "Apart from working here, we notice that most of you have social lives give or take and wonder what would happen if criminals started to act? Well, worry no more. we have the answer." Trevor exclaimed and handed the girl strange-looking devices. "What are they?" Applejack asked. "The Rainboom Wave, they are connected to the police mainframe meaning if something happens outside the lair they will let you know." ... At Blackgate, Canterlot's home for deranged criminals. One of the workers checked out the cells. "Steiner, check. Mcswain, check. 223 vacant." The worker saw someone inside. "Hey. no one log any new arrivals. What are you doing in here?" "I was feeling a little screw-loose so I checked myself in," the man said. "Who are you?" "My card," the man shows him his card then release a gas-like substance and release the east wing of Blackgate. Back to Canterlot PD "Let me tell you something, The ladies never leave a trace, no prints, no follicles, not even match on the tire tracks," Greg told her. "All of them are custom jobs," Spitfire mentioned. "They have resources." "And a knack for showing up where crime is and police aren't." "I never laid eyes on any of them." "Just in. An unknown perp released all patients from the East Wing of Blackgate." "What? That's crazy!" "Crazy enough to lure a Rainboom." Both detectives left out and Rainboom Wave caught wind of it. At Canterlot High School "Hey Rainbow," Scootaloo asked Rainbow. "Do you think you can become a coach?" "I'm not even sure on that," Rainbow replied then her phone rang. "What's up?" "A break-in at Blackgate. Scoots save my seat. I'll check it out. "Sure thing," Rainbow left the school gym and went outside and got into costume and became the carrier of wind, Tornado, and called for her bike, the Cloud Chaser but it ran right past her and stop. "Note to self remind Trevor to work on the braking," Rainbow thought to herself. "Hey, Sunset," Rainbow called on her phone. "You there?" "Yeah," Sunset was on the other end. "What's up?" "There's a report of break-in at Blackgate out of nowhere someone knocked the medic and release most of the prisoners. Something tells this is no ordinary jerk is at it. Interested?" "On my way," Sunset replied then became firey female Phoenix and headed to Rainbow's location. ... Some time Later Both Rainbow and Sunset along with the police arrived at Blackgate. The officers got out and most of the prisoners walking around and the saw a large jack-in-the-box. "What the..." The box stop turning and exploded taking out part of the bridge both Rainbow and Sunset watch on the other side from afar. "That was theatrical," Rainbow said. "No kidding," Sunset agreed. "Let's have a look." Both girls headed inside and searched around the prison and saw someone. Rainbow walked up and turn him around only to see he had a nasty grin and was frozen in place. "Whoa," Rainbow gasped then heard someone laughing. "Takes after his dad, wouldn't you say?' The man asked then grins. "What did you do to him?" Sunset asked. "Just some laugh gas, drag. Don't tell me you're not an inmate." The man jumped to Rainbow and Sunset's level. "What rationals beings dress like you two? Speaking of threads think this a good look for me?" "Who are you?" Rainbow confronted him. "Trickster." "No what, who?" Rainbow started to wipe the face paint off him but it didn't come off. "Smear-free. It's perma-clown." Rainbow narrowed her eyes at him. "Ohh, tough crowd." Trickster did a backflip. "Look! Nothing up my sleeves," He pulled out a spray can. "Nothing that won't put a smile on your face. Say cheese." Sunset fire a small flame making Trickster lose his spray into sewers. "I'm out of gas," Then Rainbow approached him. "And I'm out of patience!" Rainbow punches him, ripping the long sleeves off of him. "You really know how to spoil a coming-out party. How do you expect me to spread mirth and whimsy with a proper hideout?" "Dude, you're sick!" Rainbow shot back. "You need help." "Well, maybe I am a little off." Trickster did a double kick and send both Rainbow and Sunset to the ground. "But what are gonna do, lock me in the loony bin?" He asked them. "I'm already here." Outside, Spitfire and Greg arrived at Blackgate and exited the car. "Situation report?" Greg asked one of the officers. "We're rounding up patients and waiting for choppers to take us over," An officer said as Spitfire started to walk. "Like we'll get any drier," she said as she dives into the lake. "My new partner, triathlon whiz," Greg explained as he did the same. Inside Both Rainbow and Sunset engage in battle with Trickster. "You know I really love this place," Trickster said as he dodge their attacks. "My old hideout's a shambles and these digs scream me." Sunset did a scissor kick and Rainbow followed up with a punch and send him to the ground, "Okay take back the asylum but mark my words, this town has happy days ahead," Trickster threw his razor-sharp cards at them but both of them duck the cards at the wall and then ran away making Rainbow and Sunset follow. Both of them turned the corner a saw the jack-in-the-box. "You gotta be kidding me," Rainbow groaned then reserve the letter and stopped only for it to pop out confetti. "Smile, Canterlot," They heard Trickster's voice.' Meanwhile "Well, better split up," Spitfire said as she and Greg got out of the lake and then went opposite directions. Greg turned around and saw Rainbow and Sunset with the Medic. "You have the right to remain silent," Greg pulled his badge out before Rainbow and Sunset took off. "Galloway, spot the perp?" Spitfire asked. "Okay, so they are real," Greg thought to himself. At the Rainbooms' Secret Lair. "Rainbow, Sunset, a stranger in the lair?" Twilight asked as she and Fluttershy entered. "Make this an exception," Rainbow said. "What happened?" Twilight asked. "New villain who goes by Trickster," Sunset replied. "Oh dear, the man could use a dentist," Fluttershy added. "Or a medic," "Right then," As Fluttershy and Twilight pitched in. ... Cheif Andrews, any suspects yet in this bizarre jack-in-the-box hostage incident? I'm not at liberty to reveal whom. But I feel confident our detectives are closing in on him as we speak. As the news was on in Sunset's apartment. "And Wondercolt alumni Rainbow Dash, with nary an alibi," Twilight said as she and the rest of the girls enter the room. "How is the patient?" Sunset asked. "Despite the massive grin, fit as a fiddle. The poor fellow is simply a prisoner in his own mind." The knock appeared at the door. "Who that can be?" As Applejack checked it out. "Twilight?" Fluttershy asked turning to her. "Can you make an antidote?" "I need a sample of Trickster's gas for it to work," Twilight replied. "We need to find it before this madman leaves a permanent smile on all of Canterlot," Rarity exclaimed. "But where could he be?" "He did mention an old hideout?" Pinkie asked Sunset who popped out of everywhere. "Yes," Sunset replied. "So if we find out the old hideout we find the Trickster." "Uh, girls someone is here to see us," Applejack said. "Who is it, Applejack?" Rarity asked. "The cops," Applejack as they saw Dect. Galloway at the doorway. "Detective, what with the sudden visit?" Fluttershy asked. "I came here to say how it's been guys," Greg smiled. "It been wonderful darling," Rarity said. "Rainbow went to the game last night." "Speaking of what happened to Trevor, Tyler, Scottaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Apple Bloom? We were supposed to shoot hoops last week." "Those two have been buried in work 24/7," Twilight said. "Considering the fact we work for them." "You guys work at Talon Labs?" "Yeah we do silly," Pinkie appeared right in front of him. "So, why the sudden visit?" Rainbow asked. "Just needed to talk to someone. Other than the guys at the station, I mean. This going to sound weird but last night.., I saw the Rainbooms at least two of them." Then Pinkie accidentally broke a vase upon hearing this. "My bad," Pinkie aplozied. "So," Sunset refocused the conservation. "the Rainbooms are real? What did they look like?" "One of the artists had this drawing of them," Greg gave them the photo of Rainbow and Sunset in their costumes. "Whoa," All of them gasped. "Whoa is right, but this is the tough part, I really believe that the Rainbooms are helping Canterlot even if they are on the wrong side of the law. But they're getting a bad rap and the heat's on me to bring them all on down." ... ... "Are sure this is the place?" Rainbow asked Pinkie while both were looking at an abandoned factory as Tornado and Sparkplug. "Yep," Pinke replied. "The perfect place for a clown-like him." Then both of them enter a saw him. "Stop me if you heard this one before," Trickster said. "There were these two fellows in abandoned party favor factory. One says the other..." "Where are you keeping the gas, Trickster?" Rainbow asked not following his joke. "You called that a punch line?" "I don't share your sense of humor. Unlike Sparkplug I share hers." "But we're linked, like comedy and tragedy, two sides on the same coin." "The gas, Trickster, or vow I will turn your smile upside-down." "If it's gas you want," Trickster cut one of the ropes causing a sandbag to fall down on the down but they avoided it. "Place all tray tables in their upright positions." He said as took off in his blimp and laugh maniacal. "Rainbow," Twilight's voice was on her earpiece. "Any luck on finding the gas?" "We did, but we have a problem," Rainbow replied. "What kind of problem?" "That Trickster filled his ballon with his gas. And going to pop it over Canterlot," Pinkie said. "Ok, that is a problem, calling in the big guns," Rainbow called for her motorcycle. At Canterlot PD "A ballon downtown this time of year?" Greg asked. "That's-" "Crazy?" Spitfire finish his thought. "I'll drive." ... ... "If loving me wait you get a load my pop," Trickster said without reazling that Rainbow and Pinkie were followed him on his balloon jumped on it and kicked him. "Alrlight clown, stop this thing," Rainbow demand while grabbing him. "With what brakes," Trickster grinned then throw her off him and right into Pinkie. "It's Tornado and Sparkplug." Spitfire saw them while driving. "And they're pummeling a clown." "The jack in the box, Spitfire," Greg thoughted. "What if clowny behind the Blackgate incident?" Tirckster send Pinkie and Rainbow dangling from the balloon then he armed his mallet. "Explains the missing orderly," "Maybe they took the medic, because... the guy needed help or something." "Fair enough. Where chasing three perps. A crinmal and two vigilantes." "Watch the pinkies," Trickster prepare to swing but missed. "Twilight, are you there?" Rainbow asked. "I'm here," Twilight said she as tech whiz Cyber Witch. Twilight used her magic and guided the balloon away from the state. "East, Canterlot Bay," Spitfire followed them to the shore. "You have made one very sad clown!" Trickster prepeaed to swing his mallet. "That's odd where they go?" "Knock-knock," A voice said. "Who's there?" Trickster turned around and Applejack was right behind as the heavy hitterherself Rock Roller and knocks him out. "Fluttershy, are you ready?" Sunset asked her. "Yeah I'm ready," Fluttershy was the nature loving Vine. "Here goes nothing," Fluttershy brought forth two vines and brought Trickster's balloon down into water. "Balloon is down everyone." "Perfect," Rartiy smiled as the chilly superhero fashion-forward persona Ice Breaker . "Allow me to accqiuire the sample." Rartiy went in the water and used her ice daggers and torn a hole through the balloon disperse in the water. "My precious gas, passed by a couple party poopers," Trickster said as he was in the water. "Sorry my good sir, Me and my friends had an different punch line in mind." Rarity said boldy then froze him. As the Rainbooms left Greg and Spitfire arrived at the scene. "At least we can take the clown in," Spitfire said. "I know you love to swim," Greg joked. "Scoots," Rainbow called her. "Can you and the rest of the guys move our guest out of the Lair. We got an antidote to whip up." A few hours later. "Steiner, check. Mcswain, check. 223, new arrival. Check." The Medic saw the Trickster in his cell. "They all said I was sick in the head. They said I needed help. Well maybe I am a bit batty. Blame the Rainbow in my belfry," Trickster ranted then laugh manical knowing this wouldn't be the last time they see him.
Short Story #2-Call of CardsAuthor's Note After much waiting here the second story of HCC explaining the Rivalry of Spade and Rarity Short Story #2-Call of Cards It was another night in Canterlot City as CPD was on the scene. “Third high rise this week, all with the same MO,” Greg said to Spitfire. “No prints, no forced entry, no physical evidence of any kind.” “We can’t rule the Rainbooms if any of them were burglars,” Spitfire said. Both detectives left the scene and Cyber Witch and Ice Breaker walked through the window. “Alright now that cops are gone, let’s see if they have any clues to these robberies,” Cyber Witch said then turned on her mask’s flashlight and found something. “Well, what do we have here…” Cyber Witch took a photo of it. “Say I found something rather strange,” Ice Breaker found a feather and then heard footsteps. “Do you hear that?” “Yeah,” Cyber Witch replied. “The cops let’s go.” Both walked out of the apartment before the police. Later at the Rainboom Lair. “So what is it?” Rarity asked while Twilight check it out. “It appears to strictly nebulosa laponica, a rare species of owl native to China,” Twilight explained. “According to the Rainboom search function, these scratches from the victim’s table match the owl’s talon span. Which means…” “Someone had trained a bird to perform burglaries,” Rarity finished the thought. “Oh good heavens, I just remembered something, Trevor and Tyler are hosting a gala fundraiser and all of us need to be there.” “Isn’t that tomorrow night?” “It is ‘tomorrow night’.” Later “Do we really have to do this?” Applejack asked. “Yes,” Rarity replied. “We wouldn’t any guests growing suspicious of how most spend our night.” “Well be a monkey’s uncle,” a man exclaimed. “Rarity , how are you this fine evening?” “Have we met?” Rarity asked. “Shaw. Jonah Shaw, of the new Casual Shaws, but you call me Jonny and must say you look a princess.” “Thank you, but I never heard-“ “I’ve been abroad. Just got back of from the tour of the orient.” “I see.” “Nice seeing you, I hope we can meet each other again… ooh appetizers,” Jonah went for the snack bar. “That guy is weird, weirder than Pinkie,” Applejack said. “I never heard of them.” “Well I did heard of the Shaws,” Trevor said as walked to them. “My both my uncle and aunt worked for them back in England and very obnoxious bunch as well. They worked themselves to the bone for wretched snobs and treated them like dogs then have the absolute nerve to fire them!” “Let’s just hope that he not like them,” Applejack said. “Trust me, AJ, once a Shaw always a Shaw.” With Rainbow and Sunset “You know, trespassing’s against the law,” Rainbow said as both of them walked to Greg’s car. “Busted,” Greg exclaimed. “Greg. I see you brought a guest.” “My partner.” “Hi, Name’s Rainbow and this Sunset.” “Detective Spitfire.” “If not any trouble, you can join the party.” “Not tonight, we’re on the clock.” “Cheif’s orders. Keeping an eye on high-profile events with that strings of robberies and all.” “Aah!” A woman screams caught the group's attention. “Are you okay?” Sunset asked her. “A bird attack me.” “Freaky. When I was a kid, a seagull snagged my sandwich.” “I’m sure it just thought your rubies were berries.” Hours later, everyone was cleaning up. “The odd thing is, I was certain, I’d heard of the Shaw Fortune had been lost for decades,” Trevor said holding Shaw’s donation. “They had to leave England to avoid shame.” “I’m sure that they found some luck along the way, bro,” Tyler came to his side. “But we have a board meeting in the morning and don’t dream about them in your sleep and what about you ladies?” “We have some bird-watching to do,” Pinkie said as she and others entered the lair. … Tornado was flying through the city and sees birds carrying jewels. “Time for bird control,” Tornado exclaimed as flew after them and straight to a limousine with his kimmo girls. “One of Shaw’s girls.” “So where it’s twin?” The second one came down and kicked her to the ground and both drop the clothing and revealed to razor sharp claws. “Whoa,” Tornado exclaimed as one them came right at her but dodges it and then a spin kick at her not before the other one kicks her into a wall. “Great. Double Trouble.” Before anyone can do anything, both of them were shocked, Sparkplug came down. "Thanks, Sparks," Torando thanked her. "Now let's kick their butts," Sparkplug exclaimed then both got in the car and left. "Party poopers." "Hey, Sparkplug. Tornado, head back to the lair," Vine came through on their through on comms. "Cyber Witch had a breakthrough." ... "High-rise jewels thefts baffle the police," Twilight read the newspaper in the Chinese article to the others. "Dozens of similar crimes across Asia when suddenly stopped last week." "So?" Rainbow asked. "Then stopped in China, then started back up in Canterlot, meaning Shaw is behind it," Twilight figured it out. "And he use the guest list for tonight's crime spree." "Uh, as anyone has seen Trevor?" Fluttershy asked. "I'm not sure, he told me he was going out for a bit," Tyler asked. "But it a good thing that our phones have tracking signal... just a moment and got it. that's odd." "What's odd?" "According to his location, he is at the Shaw Mansion. No wonder why he left out, Shaw must've pickpocketed him without knowing." "We need to get there before he does bad to him." ,,, "Well speak of the devil," Jonah said while looking at Trevor. "What brings you here?" "Well, first of all, reclaiming some stolen property of mine, and believe me the only thing keeping me from kicking your butt, is the shame of the news of losing the family fortune." "Who cares. about that, the good old days when Shaws were kings are coming back, cause I am gonna restore the Shaw name its former wealth and glory." "And let me guess, and the best way to do is stealing like a common criminal, you have a long way to go." "Not as long as think, buddy," He shows Trevor the sash of gold then one of the birds shows up. "You were behind the high rises," Trevor said then strapped down his robots. "My pets haven't been fed this evening," Jonah said then release his birds. "And they are famished. But why feed them seed, when they can have a treat of meat." As the birds came and were about to converge on him from out of nowhere a gem shield stopped them and Ice Breaker holding it. "Who's that?" Jonah asked. "What are you doing here?" She asked him. "Long story," Trevor replied as the rest of the Rainbooms showed. "Sorry about this," Vine said as she used her telepathy to make the birds fly out of Shaw Manor. "Come back, pretties!" "Nice going." "So, the tales of Rainbooms are true but really who names themselves after a rainbow and a sonic boom," Jonah smirked and send his robots but not after Cyber Witch used her magic and put the two in a cage and lock them. "That takes care of those two," Tornado smirked. "Now where is that cheese head." "I just one question for all of you," The Rainbooms and Trevor heard his voice. "How you'd find me?" "You left a trail of breadcrumbs, Shaw," Sparkplug answered him. Pheonix felt a sting on her head, showing a vision that Shaw was right behind Vine ready to strike. "Vine! Look out!" Vine kicked him in the gut, knocking him back a little, and he recovered and had two swords behind his back. "Please! Now that all pretenses are off, call me Spade, because all always have an ace in my sleeve!" He threw one of them at Rockrolller and Tornado, then blindsided them with a swift kick. "Holy cupcakes!" Sparkplug exclaimed. "A couple of tricks I picked up at the orient," Spade laughs than a magic blast almost hit him. "I have few tricks of my own," Ice Breaker said as she armed her Ice Dagger. "Bring it Ice Queen." Both of them lunged at each other with their weapons. Both of them went to the tree and Spade drops two cages on her and then strike his sword as he came down, but not before Pheonix did her Flame Spiral Kick at him and landed Spade on a branch. "If you what good for you, stand down," Pheonix told him. "Not a chance lass," Spade said bringing out his Spade Chain and slicing the branch. "Let me guess, a little something you picked up in the orient." Cyber Witch came to her fellow heroes and armed her Sparkle Stars and threw one of them. "Nothing gets by you," Spade deflects it, freeing Trevor's right hand. "How convenient," As Trevor frees himself. Spade continues to use his chain, as the Rainbooms dodged it, until, the chain caught Ice Breaker and was trapped. "Ohh, caught me a big one," Spade exclaimed while reeling her in. "How dare you, you vile brute!" Ice Breaker snapped at him and pulled him toward him and gave a Freezing Kick and send him crashing into the birdfeeder and seeds fell down on him. "Ouch, he's going to feel that one in the morning." Rock Roller exclaimed. "There's a nice cage waiting for you in Canterlot Prison," Ice Breaker said. "As it was thrilling watching you guys, kick bad-guy butts, now then, " Trevor said. "From now on, I shall leave you the sleuthing." Casuse I'm going to restore the Shaw Family to its former wealth and glory, Spade woke up and arms his guns and was prepared to fire. "Behind you!" Trevor said, then Ice Breaker froze him solid. "And that for aunt and uncle." "Should we leave him?" Vine asked. "Let the police deal with him, darling." Ice Breaker told as they left.
Short Story #3-TractionDeep within the sewers of Canterlot. "Why are meeting here?" One mob boss said. "Everyone knows they have eyes everywhere." "Relax," A second one said. "The Rainbooms thinks we left town months ago." "I encounter three of them and they dismantled my op brick by brick and all before lunch." "Took down all my men that money could buy. Heck, I can't even sleep nights." "Yeah, those girls ruined me as well," A third one came in. "But you can kiss those worries goodbye. I found the solution to our problem. A merc volunteered for some physical enhancements in a secret lab deep in the Amazon. Wild, eh?" "Yeah, we got the money." "We're in." "Gentleman, meet Jawbreaker." A guy in a trenchcoat approached them. "Are you sure this guy can take them down?" "Yeah, seven on one are bad odds." "There is much more to me than meets the eye." "Hey Tyler," Applejack greeted him. "What you're working on?" "Don't know yet, but it will be cool. The engineers have no clue, that they're building tech for you and the others." Hours later, an armored truck was making its way to the bank. "What the" The driver was forced to stop by a construction sign. "Construction, at this time of night. Then the truck was flipped over by an unknown figure, then Rock Roller arrive and walked toward the truck. "The money's still there, I've been baited." "Rock Roller I assume?" "The masked look is really catching on," "Defeat me, and you can remove it." "Sorry bucko, I don't fight for the pleasure." "Then fight for your life!" He charged right at her only to miss. then Rock Roller easily overpower him and threw him into the armored truck. "Alright, partner, start talking, you can start with name and motive." "I am Jawbreaker, the person you ever face or see." Jawbreaker used his chemical steroid infusion to make himself bigger and stronger. Jawbreaker roared and tried to punch her but Rock Roller dodged it, and hit a lampost instead. "Lights out, Rockhead!" Rock Roller tossed her rope and swung on out of there. "Go on, flee!" Jawbreaker didn't realize that Rock Roller swung around and kick him in the face. As Jawbreaker closed in, Rock Roller did a series of punches and kicks that he was unfazed by, which force her to form pillars of stone and throw at him but still hang on, in a quick second Jawbreaker grabbed her and smashed her toward the ground then threw on a wall, then back on the ground, Then Jawbreaker throws her across the wall that knocked her out. "Take the money! Take it!" one of the guards pleaded. Jawbreaker approached the truck and lift it only for him to take two money sacks. "Pocket change. With the muscle gone, Canterlot is mine," Jawbreaker exclaimed then left. Hours passed as Rock Roller came around and used every last bit of energy she had to get walk into an alley "Fluttershy, need help," She called Fluttershy's number as Spitfire and Greg showed up. "What happened?" Spitfire asked as she and Greg untie them. "Big guy! Wears a mask!" "One of the Rainbooms?" "Bigger! Threw Rock Roller that wall!" Greg and Spitfire looked a the wall where Rock Roller was thrown. "Okay, if a dude was buff enough to her through bricks," Greg stated. "There's no way that Rock Roller could walk away from it." "So, where'd she go?" Little did the detectives know that Vine had Rock Roller on her back by using spirit bear form. "Dispatch, requesting APB on masked suspect of Rogers and Engelhart, be advised perp is extremely dangerous," AS Greg called HQ. "And send units to all area hospitals. We're looking for any new admissions with multiple fractures. If we find the patient, we find out Rock Roller's true identity." "So let me get this straight, Applejack had a run-in with Jawbreaker that some kind of weapon that made 10 times stronger and put the hurt on her," Rainbow asked Fluttershy which she nodded. "Then why not take her to the hospital, darling," Rarity added. "I tried but the police were already there by the time I made it," Fluttershy explained. "Spitfire must've figured if Applejack was admitted to hospital and had the same injuries as Rock Roller her cover would blow." "Hey what's this I hear about the cops combing hospitals for Rock Roller?" "I thought this guy was supposed to solve our problems." "If I did not break all of Rock Roller's bones. I guarantee you, I crush her spirit!" Jawbreaker assured them. "How's she doing?" Rarity asked. "So far she is stable, but looking at the x-rays, we're looking at multiple fractures," Trevor explained. "I thought she had rhino-like skin?" "She does. She can take a multitude of blows and still be strong enough to fight. As long as they're not all critical blows." "And with AJ sitting in here, Jawbreaker is running around Canterlot taking whatever he wants," Rainbow exclaimed. "As there's no way the police can handle him. We got to do something!" "May I remind you, that Jawbreaker has a fuel line that makes him strong and nearly invincible skin, how are we supposed to deal with him?" Twilight asked then noticed something. "Has anyone seen Trevor or Tyler?" "Are you sure about this? Trevor asked as the two had finished Building something "I'm sure, knowing AJ she doesn't want to back out, but this design will even the odds," Tyler said as Applejack enter the lab. "Well would look that, AJ, how you are feeling?" "Feeling fine, still feel a little tight across my back," Applejack then look at something. "What in the hay is that?" "This is what we called the Rock Golem, it battlesuit that is strong as you in the event that really something bad happens," Trevor explained. "Like dealing with Jawbreaker, say where are the others?" "Take a good guess." All units, disturbance at 437 Adams. Masked Intruder on-premises. As the police dispatch on heard in Spitfire's car. "This Spitfire, I'm in the area. I'll check it out." "Spitfire, Galloway, thought we were off-duty." "Jawbreaker didn't the memo." "Wait for my backup," Galloway only that Spitfire left her car and ran up the building whereas Jawbreaker found a vault filled with money. "Canterlot PD! Hands in the air!" Spitfire exclaimed as she aim her pistol at him. Jawbreaker threw his fist at Spitfire only to step back then actually grab her gun and smash it. Then he grab her and tossed her across the room. "Night-Night, detective," Jawbreaker exclaimed then the elevator opened up and saw the Rock Golem. "So you did survive." "I'm tougher than I look." Jawbreaker came right at her but Rock Roller braced it and tossed it into an elevator then Jawbreaker got out and ran back to her. Downstairs, Greg waited for the elevator only for it to come crashing down. "Alright, stairs it is." Back up top, both Jawbreaker and Rock Roller continued to brawl with each other. That until Jawbreaker lunged forward, then both landed on another building. Jawbreaker quickly grabs a pillar and tries to slice her. ... "Spitfire!" Greg saw her lying on the ground. "Need an ambulance, 437 Adams, and every available unit for backup." Then Ice Breaker tapped his shoulder. "Are you sure want to do that darling?" Ice Breaker asked as he looked through and saw the Rock Golem and Jawbreaker fighting. "On second thought... Dispatch cancel backup, just the ambulance," "Thank you, good sir," Ice Breaker said then jumped out of the window to meet up with the others. "How she's doing?" "Not good," Torando replied as Jawbreaker tore right through it then Rock Roller plucked the pillar and tackle right into him then Jawbreaker punch her right in the eye. "You can't... beat...Jawbreaker." Jawbreaker holds her and smashes her through a wall. "I left you with some dignity last time but now I will unmask you and then break the rest of your bones." As Jawbreaker tore it, Cyber Witch look at the fuel line and hatched an idea. "Sparkplug, a static blast as his fuel line!" "Done!" As Sparkplug fired a plasma bolt at Jawbreaker fuel line that severely shock him then it shorted out returning him back to normal. "Uh, I appreciate the offer but I may need a little help," Rock Roller said. "Say no more," Tornado said. ... [Jawbreaker was found unconscious at the scene amid signs of a struggle but who Jawbreaker struggled with remains a mystery. "Call me crazy there was different about her?" "You know that doesn't change things." "Yeah, I know." "Are you sure you want to go through this," Tornado asked as she and Rock Roller prepare to spar. "Don't you worry, Dash, I just need to watch those sudden moves, so what the ante this time?" Rock Roller asked. "Loser has to buy pizza the next time we have a sleepover." "Done." As both of them collied with each other. Author's Note That does it for this chapter next time it's two for one.
Short Story #5-Topsy TurvyAs nightfall reaches the city, we head over to the courthouse to see a judge working in the late hours, he didn't realize that someone was in the shadows watching him then the judge heard a loud clank. "Hello? Is any there?" The judge asked then suddenly was ambushed by Trickster. "You? But I sentenced you, put you away for years. You're supposed to be in Blackgate!" Trickster said nothing a blasted his ray gun at him giving off a purple flash. Hours later, the police arrived along with Spitfire and Greg, including Pinkie and Fluttershy were watching from a building. "Canterlot PD," Greg holds his badge to the janitor. "In there. But you won't believe it," The janitor exclaimed. The officers and detectives enter the room only to see the judge being carded. "He's been carded. Literally," Greg gasped. "Quick, chip him out," Spitfire said as they ran over to him. Just as they reach for him, the carded judge was yanked by Trickster who was in his go-kart. "Trickster?" "After him!" The cops gave chased and Trickster exited out of the courtside ramming through the blockade. Once Greg and Spitfire were out, they saw two motorcycles passing by them. One detail with pink balloons and lighting bolts and the other one with butterflies, and leaves. "I love a good car chase!" Pinkie exclaimed as the two got close to Trickster. Trickster did a hard right, and two girls follow him to Canterlot bridge then Trickster press a button on his kart, which let out an oil slick that cause both Pinkie's and Fluttershy's motorcycles to spin out of control and right into a pillar luckily the girls didn't sustain any injuries allowing Trickster to escape. "Cupcakes, he got away!" Pinkie glared as Fluttershy console with her. The next day at their hideout. "According to Blackgate, Trickster is still locked in his cell and has been there ever since," Twilight read the recent news on Blackgate. "Perhaps, Trickster left some manner of decoy in his place?" Rainbow asked. "Could be, but other things don't add up," Fluttershy came in. "Trickster abducted Judge White Castle but not before for the police and Pinkie and I to see." "Darling, you're not expecting Trickster to make sense, are you?" Rarity asked. "It was his calling card. His way of announcing his plan," Pinkie popped out of nowhere. "You think there's more to come?" Applejack asked. "Maybe, Tricky's out to collect a full deck of people who crossed him." "That would be about 51 more victims? Where do we even start?" "There's sure to a couple of names is sure to be on his list, us." ... "So what are doing here?" Fluttershy asked while she and Pinkie were inside Tricker's hideout. "Simple we're being bait for him, if you were a demented clown trying to bring a smile to Canterlot where you be?' Pinkie asked. As the two looked around, none of them knew that Trickster was watching from the shadows, but it lasted long as Pinkie's Pinkie Sense came at the right time as they avoided a laser blast from him then Fluttershy yanked the gun away from him which allowed Pinkie to kicked him right into debris to where he grabs a pogo-stick. "What's the matter Tricky, cat got your tongue?" Pinkie asked. Then the pogo-stick became a blaster and fired an energy blast at her but Fluttershy at the last second made her and Pinkie invisible so that it would miss creating a cloud of smoke and from within the cloud of smoke Pinkie fired an electric blast that cause Trickster's pogo-blaster to overload and explode and send him right into the wall. "Where's the judge?" Pinkie asked him while holding him. "How can you be in two places at once? And why the mime act?" Something dropped out of Trickster's shirt it was a pin with a radio of Trickster's laugh. "Wait a minute," Pinkie wondered then wipe his face only to see skin. "You're nothing but a cheap knockoff?" "How did you know?" "The real Trickster doesn't have makeup." Pinkie removed the mask after seeing a person. "Don't hurt me!" "Who are you?" "Quiet Fade, an orderly." "Blackgate?" "Trickster said he'd do me in unless I help him with his plan. Gave me the keys to his place bring him stuff." "Who else is Trickster after?" Quiet Fade reached for the gun and fired only that it was fake and with a message. "Suprise?" Fluttershy asked then heard a ticking sound which Pinkie knew all too well. "Get down!" both lay on the ground as the gun exploded and in a few seconds Quiet Fade was carded. "That could've gone well," Fluttershy sighed. "Clearly Trickster didn't want him to squeal," Pinkie realized. "So why didn't we chip him out and question him further?" "Don't you get it, Vine, Trickster play us for fools, it's time we get some answers, straight from the horse's mouth, at Blackgate." Both girls there way to Blackgate and snuck inside their way to Trickster's cell. "Well, look what the cat drag in, Sparky and Vines," Trickster said as the two inside of his cell. "What if I hadn't been decent?" "You were never decent to begin," Pinkie retorted. "Why bother sending a stand-in to your collection instead of us?" "To drive you and your galpals batty, of course. And it's working," Trickster then Fluttershy encased him in roots then slammed him on the wall. "Answers now!" She used her Stare on him. "Do you honestly think that I would send fluke to eliminate the likes of you? Ha! That is a pleasure I want for myself. And because I miss your company. Two sides of the same card. After all, Sparky knew where I would send my lookalike to find you and I knew all along that if I left a trail of breadcrumbs you gobble them up." "Then why have an orderly do your dirty work when you could just have him unlock your cell?" Pinkie asked. "Because you were my ace. My ace in the hole!" Trickster pulled his flute, played a note, and spew out gas that put both Pinkie and Fluttershy asleep. "I don't even need you two or the others in my card collection, I never play with a full deck!" Trickster laughed and then grabbed the keys from Pinkie. "Thanks to you, I'm right on schedule. Off to the theater!" Moments passed then both Pinkie and Fluttershy were outside of Blackgate. "Thank goodness we woke up before anyone saw inside, only for him to escape," Fluttershy said. "Then what are waiting, let's hightail to the Canterlot theater and also call the girls," Pinkie exclaimed. As Pinkie calls the others, Greg and Spitfire had made it to the Canterlot Theater. "If this is a prank, it's not funny," Greg groaned. "Feels more like a trap," Spitfire suggested. "You couldn't be any more right, my dear!" Trickster was right in front of them. "Showtime!" He used his knock-out gas and put both detectives in deep sleep. Moments later the two woke up to be inside the theater with everyone else that Trickster kidnapped then everyone else woke up when the music played and the spotlight shine on Trickster. "Welcome to Trickster's Revenge-O-Rama," Trickster started. "Allow me to introduce you to our first guest..." He quickly came off stage only to come back with the carded White Caste. "Judge White Castle! He's such a card." "I'll deal Trickster a hand once I get my foot out of this shoe." "Wait, partner, let's not do anything rash," "Now, most of you are wondering why are you here. Because you all done me wrong!" Trickster exclaimed. "Whitey, you sentence me to life in the loony bin. Detectives, you slapped the cuffs on me. Shame on you. Frisk, how many times do have I told, you I hate mac and cheese! Oh, how I've wanted to deck all of you. So deck you I shall!" Trickster warms up his Deck Blaster then pulled back the curtain to show the ocean and kicked the carded judge into the sea. "Have fun with the fishes!" "Let's see you laugh at this, clown!" Spitfire slipped out of her shoes, then lunge at him. Trickster fired the Deck Blaster at her, and in sheer minutes Spitfire was carded. "Ahh, the queen of hearts." "Trickster, you better not..." "Don't make me slap you, Jack!" Trickster warned him. "Get it? Slapjack?" Nobody realize the Rainbooms were watching from above. "Set nozzle to wide. Time for my favorite game, 52 pickup!" He was about to fire when suddenly the curtain dropped down on him. "The reviews are in, Trickster," Twilight said as he looked above to see them. "Your show's a flop!" Trickster fired his Deck Blaster at them, making all of them dodge it, then both Rainbow and Applejack kick him at the ribcage. "You girls, can't stay away from me, can you? I guess opposites do attract. He pulled on the rope that send him up, and a sandbag down that the girls avoided them then Pinkie and Twilight followed him. "Come on, let's get these people out of here before Trickster brings the house," Sunset addressed as the others help the people. ... Trickster made it to the top but was quickly stopped by Twilight's magic blast. "You're going back, to Blackgate, for a long game of solitaire!" Pinkie exclaimed. "Funny, Sparkplug, you're quick with the punchline!" Trickster fired his boxing glove spring at her making her fall down, then Twilight yanked it away with her magic, then the two of them crashed him back into the theater. Trickster got up and slowly walked to his Deck Blaster. "Sorry, ladies! But he who laughs last laughs the best." He fired the Deck Blaster at them but a Diamond came in front of them to repel the blast and came right at him and carded him. "You gambled Trickster, you've lost," Rarity smirked seeing the carded villain.
Short Story #6-Know your CluesAt the Canterlot Oprea House, Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer were enjoying a lovely concert as the violin playing was finished. Before we continue, I'd like to acknowledge some of the donors who made Canterlot's great concert hall possible. Trevor and Tyler Sanders and Sound Beat, philanthropist and successful pianist. What will play for us tonight? "I will be playing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata Opus 27, #2." Sound Beat sat down only for a whoopee cushion to go off, then he prepare to play a note only for a toy duck to pop out from a piano then it rolled off stage. "Go time?" "Go time." Twilight and Sunset exited from their seats and put on their costumes and chased after the van that had kidnapped the pianist, just as there were to get close the driver step on the gas making the van go faster losing them. "Talk about burning rubber," Sunset said. Later at Rainboom Hideout... "Well despite the glossier uptown venue. Tonight's abduction of Sound Beat and Bright Light has all earmarks of this afternoon," Sunset reading the Daily Crown web page. "Both were highly theatrical and public humiliations." "Like those game shows from Japan," Spike wondered then Sunset and Twilight gave him confused looks. "What? I like to watch the TV when you are out of the house." "Could the kidnappings be for money?" Twilight asked. "There's no ransom, whoever is behind it must be personal," Sunset thought about it. "Which means there has to be a link between them," Twilight searched for any possible matches then her computer found one. "Got it, both of them worked together 30 years ago on a game show called Think. Thank. Thunk." "I've heard of that show," Sunset said. "The show was canceled due to a scandal." "Well, it looks like someone is harboring a grudge," Twilight then looked at an old video of the show. "It seems that Greedle Vunder, a talented young mind lost. His mom filed a lawsuit against the producer, Bright Light was rigged." "Bright Light was loaded with money and had friends inside of City Hall." "So what happened?" Spike asked. "The case was in favor of Bright Light and the case was dismissed and for Greedle, he faded into obscurity and Violet became a world chess champion. That's it!" "What it?" "Violet's playing in Canterlot tonight, and that means so our villain of the day." At the Canterlot Dome, Violet was playing a chees against a chess-playing robot and Violet was winning, when Bishop Piece snatched her and went backstage, then Sunset and Twilight kicked it. "Knight takes Bishop," Twilight said then Sunset tackled a hooded guy to rip off the hood seeing a guy. "What the...oof!" Both girls ambushed by swarmed by them. One of them leaped forward only for Twilight to use her magic and send him to the ground. "Hey fella, try picking on someone your own size," Sunset said before a hood guy threw a flash grenade at them blinding them the remaining hoods took Violet into the same getaway car. "That could have gone well." "Let's get, before the cops show," Twilight teleported herself and Sunset out of there. ... "Greedle Vunder was a student with a bright future, but it looks like threw it all away all over obsession with a game," Sunset said. "Thank Celestia, Princess Twilight knocked some sense into me before I played out my revenge plot. " "And now we got to deal with a quiz guy trying to re-act his childhood revenge fantasy." "Welcome one and all to Think. Thank. Thunk I'm Quizmaster and now let's meet our players. Three of the worst liars and cheats seen on national television. Here's how it works. You will take turns asking me questions. If get it wrong you get a point. Get three points and go free. However, if I guess correctly. I score a point. Three points for me and you all get dunked in acid." ... "This is the place," Sunset said as she and Twilight found the place. "Let's go." Both dropped down and headed to the doorway and enter. "Get ready for anything." Several Quizmaster goons surrounded them and the of them being to fight. ... "With Jason being the last one, that's all 50 Argonauts, am I right?" Quizmaster asked then one of them nodded. "That's one point for me." "Come on, that was an easy one? Give me a harder one?" Meanwhile, Twilight and Sunset fought their way downstairs and made it to Quizmaster's compound where he scored again. "Two points for me, and zero points for you. You better score or it's acid town." "In the subject of math, what is the number of pi?" Violet asked. "Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. But that number cannot be expressed as a finite decimal. But in the spirit of gamesmanship, I will reduce it to 100 decimal places." "But you won't have a chance to do it," Sunset said then look at Sunset and Twilight. "Ah! Pheonix and Cyber Witch. Your timely arrival proves that there's at least, that is some intellect in Canterlot worthy of Quizmaster." "Give it up, Greedle.' "Greedle Vunder never surrenders, but in terms of fairness, I give you, Cyber Witch one chance to spare their cheating lives. A bound round!" "Sorry, buddy, we're not in the mood for games," Sunset came in. "But she will play or they get acid-washed." "Is this all you have to show for your life, Greedle? Bitterness and revenge. You could have done something with your talents." "Bonus round! Stop Quizmaster and they go free." Twilight are you sure you want to do this? Don't worry Sunset, I got just the question to ask him. "Ok, Quizmaster, I'll play along. So, what can I ask you about?" "Anything." "No topic is off limits?" "Any topic as you please, get on with it!" "Okay. Name the identity of the Rainbooms." "Trick question! Ask another question!" "You said I could ask anything." "No fair!" Quizmaster complained then proceeded to drop the constants in the acid until Twilight her Sparkle Stars to jammed it. "Cheater! I'll show you the true identity of the Rainbooms!" Sunset quickly fired a magic blast at his feet making him fall down. Shortly after Quizmaster was taken to Blackgate... "Not bad, Sparkle, beating Quizmaster at his own game, so what do you want to do next?" Sunset asked. "Up for a game of chess?" Twilight suggested. "You're on," then two of them started to play chess.
Short Story #4-Fire and IceIt was a cold and freezing day in Canterlot as a snowstorm came by, but a robbery was usually in progress courtesy of Blowtorch. "Come down with your hands up!" an officer said as the Canterlot PD arrived. "You shouldn't play with Blowtorch," He said as he flew right at them blasting a laser and slicing the car and causing them to crash. "Are those guys okay?" Another one asked. "Yeah, they're alright." "In this town, I'm the heat." "No I'm the heat," Pheonix proudly said as she wore her winter gear. "Burn!" Blowtorch fired a laser at her but she dodged it and was on top of him. Blowtorch tried to shake her off but Pheonix hanged on. "So how'd you plan to get me down?" "You're going to run out of fuel soon." Then he saw a truck with a gas tank. "Well let's fill her up, then!" Blowtorch blasted the tank and then drop Pheonix as the tank exploded. "Take that!" Blowtorch smiled then he flew away. Moments later Pheonix came out of the fallen debris a little shaken up but not before the police caught up and surrounded her. "Forget, Blowtorch, we just scored chief's public enemy number one," An officer looked at Pheonix then most of them aimed their guns. "I'm really not feeling the love here, boys," Pheonix said as she did a flame blast on the car that cause an explosion blinding them and allowing her to fly away. At the lab that Blowtorch broke into, Spitfire and the recon team were checking for clues, not knowing to any of them, that Spitfire receive called Pheonix on the Rainboom Wave. "Detective Spitfire." "You and Blowtorch had quite the winter cookout," Spitfire said seeing the explosion. "It was a blast, do you know what he took from the lab?" "Working on it." "Blowtorch has always worked for hire, if we knew what he took maybe we'd know who he took it for." "Honey, I'm home," Blowtorch said as arrived at Glacier's lair. "Got you something." He showed a snow globe to him. "Is this a joke?" Glacier asked. "Saw it in a window, but also got you the other thing," He gave him a computer chip. "Nice, but what kept you did the ice slow you down." "No, Pheonix, but I clip her wings." "Are you she was done for?" "Not sure, I bailed before the cops had a chance to catch up." "Nothing must stand in my way when I..." Blowtorch glared at him. "When we extend Canterlot's harsh winter into the permafrost. The city will be ours to shake up or shake down anytime we want. " At Rarity's house "Despite the cold," Rarity said as she made the final touches on her dress. "The Canterlot Police Gala has become the hot ticket. Though, Sunset, I rather find it odd that Trevor and Tyler are hosting the event given our stand with the knights in blue." "It's the least they could do for Canterlot's finest, but one day they will have their approval," Sunset chuckled a bit then received an alarm on her phone. "What is it?" "The Rainboom Wave, There's a break-in at Sanders Labs?" "Who would be crazy to pull a break-in in this type of weather?" "Only one person who can't feel the cold and nearly iced me." Meanwhile, Glacier froze the wall and was in the coldest part of the lab. "Liquid nitrogen. Don't touch," He read the sign that was holding it and grab a case of it. "Ahh..." Then a small diamond was struck at his fingertips. "I was expecting someone with a little more flair," Ice Breaker said as she and Pheonix came into the scene. "Such a cold reception, Ice Breaker." Glacier did a cryoblast at them making ran to opposite sides then Ice Breaker threw a flash grenade in his eyes blinding him then the two of them did a kick on both sides then the frosty villain came around and trap pounds of ice. "How shall ice you this time? Allow me to pick frozen brains," he arms his burning tip and walked towards them. As he continues to walk toward them, Pheonix launched a small fire orb at the tank of Liquid nitrogen that exploded and froze Glacier then he broke free, Then Rarity grab his burnt and use it on the ground to split up the floor and made him fall down. "Drat, he got away." "Don't worry about it, no doubt we see him again along with Blowtorch as I figured out that working together." With Blowtorch and Glacier "The vents are rerouted, G-man," Blowtorch welled the vents and moved them. "The heat that flows through these vents warms every blinding in Canterlot. With my cryo-accelerator we can do something about that," Glacier implied. At the police station, the party was in full swing. "Those girls think that some kind of savior but they're more harm than good Tyler," Chief Andrews said to Tyler. "I mean both Ice Breaker and Pheonix along Glacier trashed the lab!" "Both of them were lucky I wasn't there, I would've opened a can of hurt on them and delivered straight to you," Tyler replied. "You're my kinda guy, Sanders. Anyway getting more Cocco, catch you later." As the chief left, Rarity came up to him. "You don't mean that, do you?" "Of course not, considering the fact I get freezer-burn from the two of you, so what did Glacier grab?" "All he grab was a case of liquid nitrogen and he has formed a partnership with Blowtorch." "You know what they say, opposites attract." ... "The Freeze-o-Matic 9000's ready to blow." "As the cryo-accelerator amplifies my powers ten-fold. every citizen in Canterlot will have nowhere to run, as block by block, they are frozen out of their homes,' Glacier explained. "And what better block to beta-test than where the entire police force fortuitously assembles tonight." "I can hear them now. How did these ice cubes get in my pants?" "Let us begin." Blowtorch inserts the liquid nitrogen into the device causing it to warm up. "Fire up." Glacier put his hands on the controls and send an intense blast of ice into the vents that lead straight to Canterlot P.D. ... "Is it just me or did someone turn down the thermostat?" Rarity asked as the place feel a little cold. "Maybe the radiator is on the fritz," Sunset suggested then all of the vents poured streams of ice and freezing everybody including Rarity and Sunset. As they remain frozen, Sunset's geode started to glow and the ice started to melt. "That was a close one," Sunset was relieved. "Now on for more important things." Sunset did a fire blast that broke Rarity out of there. "Thank you, but now I have an understanding of what it means to be frozen," Rarity replied. "Shall we?" "Yep," Both headed out of the department and became their alter-egos, Pheonix and Ice Breaker once then headed out, Phoenix threw a fireball at a pillar of ice that exploded showing a trail to their boiler room. "Where there's frost, there's fire," they walked to the villains' location. ... "Second stop on the freeze-burn tour, City Hall," Blowtorch changed the vents to the direction of City Hall as he did, he caught in Ice Breaker's Crystal Ribbon. "Ice Breaker and Pheonix!" Glacier exclaimed. "Don't sweat it, I got them!" Blowtorch fired his laser at them, forcing Ice Breaker to retract it and dodge it, then Ice Breaker the terminal to the room. "Go, I cover you!" Pheonix said as she engaged with him and then made him fire right at the generator to the accelerator then joined Ice Breaker. "Idiot, you damaged it!" "We fix it. Chill!" "You chill!" As Glacier fired at Blowtorch and froze him solid then fired at Ice Breaker and Phoenix which they dodged. "Both of your demises may even warm my cold heart." As Glacier prepares to freeze them, Blowtorch frees himself and blasted him. "That was cold, Jack!" Blowtorch grabbed him and hurled Glacier into a vent and the two blasted at each other. "Well, that didn't take long," Ice Breaker exclaimed as they ran back to the terminal. "Now let's bring the heat." Ice Breaker pulls the burning tip forcing the ice to shatter she pulled on the lever to warm up the boiler and the ice around started to break. "They have started the boiler!" Glacier exclaimed. "Yeah, well some of us like it hot!" Blowtorch shot back then Glacier threw him and froze his fuel tank! "My fuel tank!" Glacier came out only to be caught by Ice Breaker's rope then he froze it, knocking her back and right into Pheonix. "Bye-bye, Ladies." "I wouldn't be so sure." Vent came out and release hot air that Glacier passed out by it. "Feed a cold," Pheonix started. "Starve a fever." Ice Breaker finished. ... At the police station "Hey, guys! Check this out!" One of the officers grabs everyone's attention and heads outside they see both Glacier and Blowtroch in a crystal cage. "Glacier and Blowtorch did this?" Andrews asked. "Well these two won't be giving us any trouble," Spitfire said. "Nice work, boys." "It wasn't us," The officer shook his head. "It was them." He pointed up and saw Pheonix and Ice Breaker landed on the building, then the people started to clap for them. "I told you, that the people would adore us," Ice Breaker said as she smile back at them and then left.
