The Rise of Batmane

It had been a couple of months since Twilight Sparkle took a position within the Canterlot Police Force. Luna came to her personally to see if she could help the police clean up the city. Unfortunately it was far worse than Twilight imagined. After she moved from Ponyville with Spike, she had seen the police force first hoof, it was not a pretty sight. Many key ponies were corrupt and a lot more didn't say anything just to stay alive. Twilight sat in her office, looking at case folders she had cleared. She had become a hero in the town in a way, stopping robberies, catching murderers, she had seen a lot. She often thought about why she took the position within Canterlot. Was it to honor Princess Celestia? To clean up the city that was once so clean? Gain favor with Luna? Or was it to search for that one pony that ended her friend's life. That one pony that disappeared without a trace after the deed was done. That horrible, repulsive, deed.

“Why did she-?” Before she could finish, someone was knocking on her door. “What?” Twilight hated being interrupted mid thought.

“Twilight!” It was Spike. “We got a new case! Something about a giant- bat?” Twilight rolled her eyes.

“Spike, there are no giant bats in Canterlot- it isn't the right climate for them.” She said as she continued to read her case files.

“But Twilight, this thing has been thrashing criminals. He's beat up 40 ponies alone tonight.” Twilight looked up and sighed. She placed the case folder down and walked over to Spike.

“Alright Spike, let's get a good look at this bat character.” Twilight turned off the light in her office and locked the door. But out of the darkness, was a figure dressed in a gray suit with a black cape and cowl. On his chest was a symbol of a bat. His cutie mark also had a bat symbol. He scanned the folders, assimilating all the information he could find.

The city has many crime lords including, “Himmler” a griffon, “Oak” an Earth Pony, and “Quartz” a Diamond Dog. All three of these crime lords all had special ties to the Mayor of Canterlot, “Hoofington,” the police commissioner, “Gill,” as well as many other names. He closed the folder, and jumped out the window, armed with more knowledge and finding more about a potential ally.

Batmane jumped from roof top to roof top, continuing his patrol of the city. He looked down to see three colts carrying out items from an apartment. He jumped down into the middle of them, and growled like a raging buffalo, another gift from them. He punched the colt in front of him and the bucked the two in back of him, knocking them out easily. The first one he punched was still conscious. He placed his hoof on top of the thug, staring down at him. The thug was whimpering.

“Don't-*sniff*- kill me man- don't kill me!” The thug pleaded over and over. Batmane pressed down harder on the thug.

“I'm not going to kill you- I want you to tell all your friends about me.” Batmane growled.

“WHAT ARE YOU?!” The thug screamed. Batmane leaned down so he was face to face with the thug.

“I'm Batmane.”
