Chapters Sunset Shimmer: Hero of Canterlot City
Chapter 3-Night of the Snake
It was a typical night in Canterlot City as a group of thugs broke into a Sugarcube Corner.
"Alright, grab the money from the safe and register, but don't touch anything, The Cakes are my relatives," The lead thug said as a bright flash was shined by Solar.
"Let me get this straight, you rob the piggy bank, but won't touch the cookie jar. Wow, you must qualify for nephew of the year twisted divison," Solar Eclipse joked.
"Solar Eclipse? Get her!"
Two thugs ran to her and swung their crowbars at her but she dodged every swing.
"Really, get her, can you be more original."
Solar kicked the big one into the others then use her magic and pied their faces, one of the thugs rub the pie off his face and started to run but not before Solar pulled our grapple gun and fired a net to trap him. Moments later the police arrived on the scene and saw the thugs inside of a net.
"You know the drill, boys, time to book them."
"Alright, let's check the to-do list, One, stop the crime, two take pictures of me in action so I can win the Canterlot Weekly Photo Contest. Check and Check. Now for step three, head home and get the photo," Solar said to her as jump on the subway and rode the way home.
...
The Next Day at Cantetlot High as students were leaving to go on about their day, where the school's biggest jerk Duke Dynamite and Gary Gumswroth was up to their tricks again.
"This will teach Sunset and her dimwit friends, not to mess with the Dukemeister," Duke grinned as they had cans of water balloons.
"Look, Pinkie, 12 o'clock!" Gary spotted her eating cupcakes.
"Perfect," Duke threw one at her but missed and hit Rainbow. "Ah, crud."
"Okay, who the wiseguy to do that!?" Rainbow exclaimed then looked up at Duke. "Really, Duke, water balloons, what are you five?"
"It's called teaching you losers, what happens when your friend decides to hang with Dan."
"For the last time, Dr. J wanted Sunset to tutor him, and besides don't you dummies have something better to do you."
"Why you- eat this!" Duke threw another one only to hit at Vice-Principal Luna.
"Mr.Dynamite, to the principal's office now!"
"Oh come on!"
With Twilight and Sunset.
"How it's coming along with Solar Eclipse photos?" Twilight asked her as they walked to Stables Labs.
"Not good, the photos had earlier were screwed since the widow caught the flash," Sunset replied. "Winning that contest means I can work as their photographer."
"But why work for them, they're always putting the blame on her when it's the other person fault's. But I'm not going to stop you."
"Thanks," Then both of them walked in. "Weird where is everyone, Barton told us to be here right after school."
"I did, so we can celebrate," He replied as he, Stables, his wife, and their kid Brisk Steel came in with the cake.
"What is exactly celebrating for... holy mackerel your not wearing your metal arm!"
"Yeah, the snake formula finally kicked in."
"Doc, this is huge the formula is the cure for limb loss and amputation in the world, were talking guarantee Nobel Prize."
"Slow down, Barton, that my husband tested on himself," Ms. Stables rolled her eyes then noticed something on his husband back. "Uh, Brisk, Barton installed Space Knights 2 on the office computer."
"Space Knights 2? Sweet!" Brisk excited and went to the office.
"Close the door if going to crank the volume," She reminded him then turned to Dr. Stables. "Take off your shirt, now."
"It's cold in here, but okay," Stables took of his lab coat and snake scales was all around him. "What?"
Hours later into the night.
"The snake DNA is primitve than human, and the reptillan part in you is growing."
"It's growing, and I regresing. I can feel it changing me," Stables said then started to changed. "Please, save yourself. I'm losing control."
"The formula created new reptile sequences faster I ID them. I have no idea how to knock them down."
"Wait Barton, what if we work the other way around created a human DNA that knock the snake coat, like a noise filter on a phone."
"That's a great idea, Sunset, it could work."
"Yeah, a gene cleasenr, why I didn't see it before, my notes should have the data we need."
"So, it would any non-human DNA?" Twilight asked.
Can it remove magic, though? Sunset thought herself the Stables started to change drastically.
"I made a terrible mistake."
Stables was now full on half human half snake creature then Barton jumped on him.
"Doc stopped this isn't you!" Barton exclaimed then Stables threw him off then left the lab. "You guys finish making the gene cleanser, I follow him for a location."
"That reminds I have a test for Autoshop class, I need to as well," Sunset left as well.
When she was outside, she slipped into her costume and became her alter-ego Soalr Eclipse leaped building to building,
"Now if I was 6'5'' humaiod snake, where would I hide?" She asked then see the destruction caused by Stables leading to the subway. "Of course, underground."
Meanwhile...
"Don't panic just head for exit," Barton said as he ran forward as Stables was about to eat one of them but punched him.
"Sorry, pal, no eating on the subway."
Stables grabbed some debris and threw it right at her which she dodged it and blasted it to save Barton then trapped Stables in a bubble.
"Doctor, we have to back to lab, understand, Doctor. S can you hear me?" She asked then Stables knocked her down.
"Okay, Fang, bring it on."
Solar Ecsiplse followed him on the train along with Barton. Then Stables wrap her around with his tail then threw her down and into the passage section. Just as Stables came down, Solar Eclispe pushed him onto the top.
"Now it's on, you big gecko," She exclaimed then mind buzzed as Stables came at her with a kick knocking Solar off the train.
"So much for Plan A," Solar Ecslpise said to herself.
Back at the Stables lab...
"Were done?" Twilight asked.
"Yeah, I think so, it all squares research, there's only one way to test it, since its skin is hard we have to find a way to make it work, we have to make it drink it," Ms.Stables said.
"Maybe by asking for help from a girl who wearing sun theme suit?" Solar ask with a cool remark.
"Solar!"
"I get that reaction a lot."
"How did know we needed you?"
"Well, I saw a 6'5'' mutated snake wreaking havoc across the city, and tried to stop it, but it did not end well," Solar replied as the phone rang.
"Yes?"
It's me, Barton, he's at Canterlot Zoo.
"Tell your friend to stay clear of Fang," She heads out with the gene cleanser. "On the way."
Who was that?
"Our local hero, she'll be there soon, with me right behind them."
At the zoo, Barton backed away from a snake then jumped Solar approached from behind.
"I get that reaction as well."
"I think he went in there, with the other creepy crawlies," He pointed to repilte area.
"Good stay put, I got this.
Solar became invisible and ran right in.
"Man, this feels like a sauna. I didn't bring my trunks."
Solar dropped her invisibility then Stables came from behind drag into a lake. Solar tried to get free but instead, she close her eyes, then crocodiles came to them. Stables dropped her and engaged them. Meanwhile, Barton brought her afloat.
"Didn't I tell you to stay put?"
"Are you complaining?"
"No way, sir, look we need a strategy, Corba Boy is not in the medical mood not when enjoying his playdate... Wait a second that's it." Both headed to the Arctic room. "The fake swap was heated, but dunk a cold-blooded reptile in freezing cold water and he'll slow up."
"Right, slow him just enough to make him swallow the gene cleanser. But first, we get him here, with snake bait."
"Don't even think it."
"My choice, just try and stop me."
"I'm impressed, Barts, " Solar heads down. "Okay, prepping time, one, make sure the polar bears do take midnight dive, then find the perfect to ambush Fang,"
She sealed off the caves and then saw Barton running from Stables, and just when had him a corner, Solar Eclipse came from behind and tackled him straight into the ice box. The cold air made him slower than normal which allowed her to swallow the gene cleanser into his mouth turning it back to normal.
"Doctor? Are you okay?" Barton asked him.
"Yeah, I'm okay, thank, Eclipse."
"Anytime," Solar smiled and flew into the night sky.
Much later at Canterlot Staute at the Sqaure.
"I never asked to be Solar Eclipse, I never asked for these powers, I never knew I end with bash up a hand, getting back before security sweep. and friends who think I'm scum. Twisted fate, and where I go bad luck will happen to me and those around me will pay for my actions, the easier decision in my life," Just as Sunset was about to take it she look at her phone showing her and her friends.
"What I'm saying, I save him, Solar, not a magic wand to make the bad things go away but thanks to her, Stables was cured and Brisk Steel get his dad back. So what if no one threw a parade, Solar stays 'cause she needed it for now."
"But when the time presents itself, I will have to reveal my secret to them."
Sunset Shimmer: Hero of Canterlot City
It was a late night in Canterlot as the Velcro truck was cruising along until it was cornered by three delivery trucks and a fourth one immediately came from behind.
"I don't like this, something going down,' The driver exclaimed as one of the trucks pushed them inside of the first one.
And just when it got inside knock-out gas was used to knock out the driver and the briefcase holder out. Sometime later, Regina used a welding torch and grabbed the case, and showed it to Tiger Claw.
"Here you go, TC, job done, what now?" She asked him.
"What now, you put on the suit," Tiger Claw opened it and showed her suit. "You still own Mr. X, one Solar Eclipse."
"Look, Twilight, I know messed up big time, if makes you happy, I quit working there," Sunset was talking to Twilight on her phone
No Sunset, I get it, you want a job, who am I to stop you, just please next time, tell me before you do that.
"Don't remind, Rainbow and Applejack gave me the look after finding out, anyway I'll see you later." She cut her off.
...
"Sorry about it that kiddo," Platinum Writer, head of the Canterlot Weekly. "Work stuff, so what brings you here?"
"You needed a photographer on Solar Eclipse?" Sunset reminded him.
"Yes, that costume freak sells papers, making us the newspaper team in the city, I've heard you get good photos of her, so I want another set by the deadline, you got two hours."
"I do my best," Sunset left his office.
Much later
"Yeah!" As Solar leaped from the building cheering without knowing someone watching her.
"She's on the move," A thug told High Rise and Bit over the headset. "Set it in motion."
Both headed out and into a truck and took off.
"Well speak of the devil," Solar said then proceeded to follow them.
"Good, she's following us, don't to go fast, or no payday," High Rise told Bit.
"Screw the payday, I want payback," Bit shot back as head straight to the city dump. '
Once they parked inside of the compactor and got out of the truck and readied themselves while Solar was above.
"Okay, two hours before the deadline, no problem."
Solar came from behind and use her magic on the crowbar that High Rise was holding then held his arm back.
"High Rise, how many times does it take it to bring you down?"
High Rise swung the crowbar but missed, the Solar got off him.
"And where's your partner, Bit?"
Bit came from behind and tried to hit her but Solar dodged it and fired a magic blast at him, then turned to face High Rise.
"Look we gotta stop meeting like this, people are starting to talk," Solar said before she kicked him in the face, then punched him in the gut. "Mostly, about how dimwitted you are,"
Solar's head flashed as a shockwave came out of nowhere and sent her back.
"I reckon, that came as shock, kid," A woman said while wearing a yellow suit while having gauntlets on her arms. "Well good, so will this."
She charged her gauntlets again and fired only to miss as Solar dodged it. She kept firing blast after blast but Solar avoided everyone.
"Hold still, girl, so out you out of misery."
"How about you put me out of my mystery, who are you?"
"Call me.... how's about Discharge!"
"How's about... your toast!"
Solar came right at her with a kick but the suit blasted her off.
"Either you have less kick than a three-legged mule, or this suit protects me from my own power," Discharge said before holding her. "I guess clothes do make the better girl."
She blasted Solar across the room.
"Eat this, freak!" Bit exclaimed as he rammed the truck at her. "Did I get her? Tell me I got her?"
"All you got was in my way," Discharge before blasting a shockwave at him. "Now stay out of this, boy, the grown-ups were talking."
Then out of nowhere, Solar held Discharge.
"Don't be mad at Bit, he gets cranky without his..."
Discharge vibrated herself which made Solar fall to the ground, once she did, Solar kicked Discharge on the ground.
"Impressive, you hired yourself out as a kiddie ride."
"Thanks, for the compliment," Discharge blasted her straight into a trash compactor. "But I already got a job."
Discharge turned it on and Solar started to sink into the compactor.
"That should please Mr. X," Discharge then reached for her earpiece. "Extraction, please, I got two guests with paychecks with their names."
As they left via chopper, the compactor was done and blocked and in mere seconds the block was blasted by Solar.
"Just my luck, another supervillain that wants me dead," Solar Eclipse said then left for home.
The next day at Canterlot High...
"So, Sunset, you still up for the sleepover at Pinkie's place," Rainbow asked.
"Sure, I'm up for a sleepover any day," Sunset replied just as a ball hit her on the head.
"Ha! How's that for aim, bacon-head!" Duke exclaimed.
"Knock it off, Dynamite, you think you can do better, how about you and I race, first to the top wins, unless you are afraid to lose to a girl," Rainbow called him out.
"Oh snap, Dash just called you," Thunder Force exclaimed.
"You on, Dash," Duke was enraged then got a whiff of Sunset's costume. "Whew, who smells like tuna?"
I thought I wash this costume Sunset thought to herself.
"What's going on here," Coach Mellor shouted. "Dynamite, if you causing trouble again I'll make a run until class is over."
"Nothing, Coach, just having a nice talk with Rainbow," Duke sweated a bit.
The only person that Duke is afraid of is Coach Mellor and Celestia and Luna.
Later at the Canterlot Weekly
"Uh, Sunset, are wearing perfume?" Gabby asked her.
"That's a long story..." Sunset said as a man walked toward her.
"You Sunset, the photographer?" He asked.
"Yeah."
"Thunder Prism, chief editor, look I'll be honest, the fact you've gotten twice the usable pictures of Solar Ecsliplse is pretty amazing, the photo themselves... have your camera?"
"Sure, but she's a little hard to keep in focus," She showed him her camera.
"This won't cut it, you want to be a Canterlot Weekly freelancer, you need a serious camera," He handed her some cash as Platinum Writer came in and grabbed the photos.
"Nope, Nada, Crud, That's a keeper," He looked through the photos of Solar Eclipse until one showed her in a pile of rubble caused by Discharge. "Now this is a good one."
"Uh, didn't want more pictures of her winning?"
"Show's what you know, nobody loves a winner. The people are a hard market, and the people want their heroes to fail, makes them feel good about themselves."
Then he got a whiff of her costume smell.
"Ugh, piece of advice, perfume does not work, tomato juice, the only thing after taking pics at a dump."
...
"For once, something went right," Sunset said as she walked to the camera store but it was locked. "Uh, sorry to bother you but I need to buy a new camera."
"We're closed."
"But, you're opened for another hour."
"Come back tomorrow." The man closed the blinds.
"Okay that was weird," Sunset said then heard grunting.
On the other side, High Rise and Bit were carrying a box into a truck.
"Once, Tiger Claw spread the word about Solar's demise, it will be open season for every hood in the city," High Rise said.
"And already cashed in my check," Bit replied then started to smell. "Sheesh, something smells bad."
"Are you kidding me? I washed this thing five times," Solar groaned then encased them in a bubble.
"You!"
"Looks you two have deduced my demise was exaggerated."
Both gave her dumfound looks.
"I'm not dead, anyway just let Discharge know I'm ready for a rematch. I got things to do," Solar left them.
....
Later at the Black Hole, Tiger Claw walked and saw Regina at the bar.
"What brings you here?" Regina asked.
"Mr. X is not pleased with handling Solar's demise," Tiger Claw said.
"Why would that be?"
"You don't think you live to your responsibilities."
Meanwhile
"Having any trouble finding a date for the Fall Formal, Sunset?" Rarity asked while walking around the city.
"I'm not sure of going there, giving the last time it happened," Sunset replied then the ground started to quake. "That was weird for an earthquake. Unless that was no earthquake, that's Discharge doing it to draw out you know who. Well then, you're going down, this time. "Listen, Rarity, something just came I got to go, take care."
"Wonder what's with her?" Rarity asked.
With Sunset she donned her costume and became Solar Eclipse.
"If Discharge calling me out, follow the quakes, it should lead me straight to her gingerbread house, The old Canterlot Theater."
"Discharge, come out, out, wherever you are," Solar called unaware the Discharge was right behind, and blasted a shockwave at her.
"Really, I thought I ended, kid, but you got more lives than bags of cats, still I reckon we remedy that situation," Discharge said as blasted her again sending her right into a wall then she walked towards her.
"One more, in close range should do it."
Discharge fired a shockwave making Solar dodge it, Solar grabbed some debris and hurled it right at Discharge and blasted it. Discharge fired shockwave after shockwave but Solar dodged every one of them.
"I do admire your spark, but not enough to let you go, of course, and that's bad for business," Discharge blasted a shockwave only to miss again.
"Who's business?"
"Can't tell the who-"
"Then tell me why, whatever I have done that you want to kill me," Solar replied.
"Nothing personal, the hard truth is a girl as honor her responsibility, and you're one of mind."
Having said that, Discharge blasted at her, but Solar created a barrier to block it.
Okay, if I can't get close, move to Plan B, bring the house. Solar thought then fire a flame orb at her only for Discharge to blast it.
"You know, it ain't wise to a dangerous person look foolish."
"You don't need my help for it, have you looked yourself in a mirror lately?" Solar joked as she dodged another blast. "Talk about incompetent, you had more shots at me, than High Rise or Bit, and done about as well."
"Those two were punks, This is my profession."
Discharge kept blasting at her.
"Wait, you do this for a living, with that accent, I was thinking rodeo clown."
"Don't you mock me, kid!"
"Oh, I mock, I'm a mocker," Solar replied as she glowed her hands. "Also a puller, yanker, and tugger as well."
Solar fired a flame blast on all three columns that cause the entire building to collapse on Discharge.
"And that's bringing down the house," Solar said as she bowed.
Meanwhile at the Mercer Penthouse.
"Sorry for the hold-up, Mr. Tiger Claw," Darell told him. "Trying to set my son straight."
"Eh, kids these days, what can you do?" Tiger Claw asked. "Now, new topic, Solar Ecislpe, we want her gone, you care."
"None of my business."
"Really, hero save your hide."
"I nothing to do, with Solar and wouldn't risk that Velcro shipment if I did."
"Then why tip us off."
"Velcro is my rival in the super mercenary field. If their prototypes go missing, everybody wins."
"Which brings up an issue my boss wants to discuss," Tiger Claw dials his boss on his phone. "Go ahead, X."
Mr. Mercer, we have a proposal, when Solar battles the likes of Raptor, Fang, or even Discharge, she's busy interfering with my empire. We would like to hire you to create more...well...let's call them supervillains.
"What's in for me?"
Ample funding and a ready supply of guinea pigs for your questionable experiments.
On a nearby street, the cops along with a report found Discharge who was stripped of her suit and tied to a lamp post.
"Thunder Prism, it's me, Kyle Bright, I'm at the location, I need a photographer... what do you mean.."
I said, Sunset was there, she emailed me the shots, but still needs a new camera.
"Discharge wanted me gone because I getting in their line of work," Sunset thought about. That would mean she was already working for someone, but who can it be and what's their beef with me?"
Sunset Shimmer: Hero of Canterlot City
It was a fine night in Canterlot City, As Solar Eclipse was flying through the city, in the sewers, High Rise and Bit were up to their old tricks again.
"First time I've blown my out of the store," High Rise said.
"Yeah, the biggest score we've ever made," Bit replied. "I'm loving it."
"Even better, that Solar is not down here to cramp our style."
"Didn't know you had any style," Solar said as she had her back to the wall. "Hello, boys."
A few hours later both were sitting behind bars.
"Two bags of cash, and we lost them, I can't believe it!"
"I can't believe it, we lost to that hot head again!"
"Bail's been paid, you're free to go," An officer said while unlocking the cell that surprise both of them.
Once their outside, a chaffer directed them to a limousine, and both got in and saw Tiger Claw
"Hello, boys," Tiger Claw greeted them. "And welcome to the big leagues."
Hours later the limo headed to a broken-down car repair shop once they were inside, Tiger Claw and High Rise got out.
"What about, Bit?" High Rise asked.
"It's a solo job," Tiger Claw as walked into a room. "And Mr.X has his eyes on you."
"Mr.X? As the biggest crime of all Canterlot, Mr. X."
"Yep, you got potential, all you need is a little help."
At Canterlot High, in the courtyard.
"Wait a minute, Duke did what?" Sunset asked Pinkie.
"He tried to dunk paint on me and Flash but it backfire and the paint ended up on Aria instead, she got so mad she punched right in the gut!" Pinkie exclaimed.
"How many times do Duke's pranks backfire on someone else who would be the last person to prank?" Rainbow asked.
"72 times ever since school started," Twilight replied.
"Enough about Duke and let's talk about the upcoming Fall Formal, who got dates to the dance?" Rarity asked.
"You know I going with Flash."
"Cheese Sandwich!"
"Believe it or not, Soarin asked me out."
"Sandalwood," Fluttershy said. "What about you Applejack?"
"Caramel Stick."
"I'm going with Fancy Pants, what about you Sunset?" Rarity asked her.
"I'm not sure if I want to go given what happened last year, even if I did who I can ask?" Sunset implied.
"What talk to the kid, Devon Daniels, I heard he's single too," Rainbow said then the bell rang. "Time for class."
Meanwhile...
"So, Doc, what with the arms," High Rise asked Sassy Saddles as she was strapping him up.
"They allow me to do difficult tasks, reach hard areas, and keep a safe distance," Sassy replied.
"Safe distance? What about me?"
"There are some concerns but you should be okay."
"Okay!?" High Rise exclaimed then Tiger Claw came in.
"High Rise, relax. Produces simple, painless, and totally worth it. Show him."
"Yes, the subject will be infused with silicon armor, that will allow bypass metal detectors, change the form, and size, making it practically impervious to any physical contact," Sassy explains.
"Impervious? Is that a good thing?"
"You bet, it means nothing or no one can hurt, including you know who."
Moments later both were accompanied by Darller Mercer.
"Are we ready to begin?" Darrell asked.
"Of course, Mr. Mercer, sir, just about to press the button," Sassy said then pull the lever.
Hundreds of tiny pieces of sand were infused into High Rise's body which changes his body completely into sand that was dissolved to the ground.
"What have I done?" Sassy watched in horror.
"What's going in there?" Tiger Claw asked.
The sand came together and it had High Rise's face
"What the heck just happen to me?" High Rise asked as his right hand formed a mallet and he swung it.
"Hey, Sandboy, chill."
Moments later Tiger Claw and High Rise were in his limo.
"There go, you got your legs, your normal clothes, and back in color," Tiger Claw replied as High Rise turned back to normal. "See, it's not so bad."
"Not so bad!?" High Rise shrieked.
"Stuff happens, but the result is the same, you got power no one else got, not even Solar Eclipse. Now, you can get even with her for every time she put you behind bars."
"Yeah...revenge is the chumps, who cares about her, I want the big score and now the power to get it."
"Now, listen, you little nobody--"
"Hey, High Rise was a nobody, but everybody will know the name Desert Doom!" He exclaimed as punched the car door and disbodied himself and left.
"You're taking this calmly. I thought X wanted a super-villain to fight Solar."
"X wanted the sun distracted, you don't think that boy won't make a good distraction? You have not been paying attention."
Just as Desert Doom approached the bank, Solar was sitting on a rooftop.
"Fall Formal coming up, and most of the girls have their dates, should I talk to Devon?" Solar asked then heard the bank alarm.
Meanwhile, Desert Doom had sacks of money on him then Solar arrived and faced him.
"High Rise, no offense this kinda getting old, where's your fellow stooge, Bit?"
"Don't need a partner anymore," He exclaimed as his hand became bigger and punched Solar in the face straight to the ground, then kicked her.
"What just-"
"Happened? I happened. Desert Doom happened."
"Now that's just wrong."
Desert Doom's right hand form a hammer and swung it at her but dodged it, Solar did a sweeping kick at him but he grabbed her and slammed her to the wall. Then his whole body formed a fist and straight to her but Solar cartwheeled out to the way. Solar fired multiple flame orbs at him but it did nothing.
"Crap, I need heat and electricity to make glass," Solar grunted then got hammered in the face. "Let me guess, you were on a reality show, changes faces or over-the-top makeovers?"
"Nice huh, Mr. X did this to me, to get to you."
"Mr.X, who's he?"
"Uh, that need's to know only, look cleaning your clock's been fun, but I've banks to rob."
Desert Doom dissolved himself and escaped the sewer vent with the cash he stole.
The next day at Canterlot High.
"Forget the fall formal, once school is out I kicking Desert Doom out of the sandbox." Sunset thoughted to herself then closed her locker then Twilight approached her. "Hi, Twilight."
"Hey, Sunset sorry if I startled you."
"It's cool, I've been meaning to ask, where is Travis?"
"Oh, he's been going to football tryouts."
"Why?"
"Something about making a name for himself, I don't know, have you thought about going to Fall Formal?"
"Maybe, look Twilight, I think about it. okay."
"Okay."
Much Later, Desert Doom had hijacked an armored truck and the police were making chase, as such Solar Eclipse caught up with them and landed on the truck. Desert Doom formed a thorn and tried to stab her but she dodges it.
"Weird, where she'd go?"
"Surprise, dirt boy," Solar came through the sidecar and kick him in the face only to be knocked back.
"Gee, sunshine, if I'm here, who's driving?"
Then the truck crashed right into a construction place and ended up Solar on the other side of the area.
"Thanks, for the assistance," Solar said as the workers help her up then her head flashed. "Uh, you might want to leave now."
Desert Doom encased her then form a blade and was about to strike, Solar grabbed the blade and free herself, then trapped him in a bubble.
"Try getting out of that!" Solar exclaimed and much to her surprise Desert Doom punch it and was free.
"Who do you think I am, High Rise, your tricks won't work on Desert Doom but do sand tricks work on The Solar?"
"This can't be good."
Desert Doom hurled several steel beams at her, making her dodge them all but a couple of beams fall on her
Just outside the police arrived where Solar and Desert are brawling.
"Seal off the area!" Shinning Armor said. "And pray to the lord, that the sun lady can handle it."
Back to fight, Solar emerged from the debris, then Desert Doom was on top of her.
"You know I hadn't planned on coming after you, but planning being the cloud over my sunny sandy beach," He exclaimed as created a hammer. "Time to change the weather, forever."
Just as he was about to strike, Solar hurled a rock pebble to his face, then her Flame Burst that sent him back.
"Alright, Desert Doom, do your worst, better yet, I show you!"
Solar fire magic blasts at him only for him to dodge it.
"Wow, you sure showed me," Then created two hammers.
"Dude the hammer thing is getting old."
Solar dodged his hammer strikes. and his attempts of grabbing her.
"I can do this all night. Can you, sunshine," Desert exclaimed.
"Okay, Sunset, if you can't punch him, then time to dive, literally. " Solar thought to herself and made Desert Doom follow near to a mixer to that point Desert did a quick punch to her gut.
"It's over, Solar, when you had the powers, you had beat, but now I reign supreme," HE exclaimed as he created a spike ball and hammer.
"Then allow me, to build a statue to your honor," Solar shot back and then used her magic to turn on the mixer and quick-drying cement was over him causing it to solidify and turn into a statue. "Michelangelo, eat your heart out."
Then the police show seeing what happening.
"We're going to need a crane," Shinning said. "It's going be a long night of paperwork."
Sunset Shimmer: Hero of Canterlot City
Chapter 6-The Invisible Hand
Following her encounter with Desert Doom, Sunset was atop a building.
"So, Mr.X is the person that created Desert Doom and Discharge to kill me, at least that solves the person behind it, but now I got figured out who is Mr.X and why is creating supervillains when I did nothing to them."
Meanwhile on the other side of Canterlot...
"It's not that kind of suit, sir," Sassy told Bit while he was strapped. "You will never be able to remove it."
"But it's tough, right?" Bit asked.
"Yes, but your skin will fuse with the armor," Sassy explained.
"Is it just me or your doctor trying to talk my guy out of it," Tiger Claw cut in. "Look, Bit, you'll be tough, tough enough to bring down you know who."
"Then what waiting for, sign me up." Bit exclaimed then moments later he was covered in slime groaning through the pain.
"I hope this goes well than the last time," Darrell said. "I expect results Ms.Saddles, we can't have any more flukes like Desert Doom. I need super-villains I can mass produce, no matter how thugs we have to go through, even the doctors."
"What with the jungle-tech looked?" Tiger Claw asked seeing Bit in different.
"The animal kingdom holds many useful ideas, the armor is now part of him, The Mexican Bull with the features of high-density plates that can't be melted down by Solar's flames thus making him unstoppable."
"Well, The Good Doctor has its quirks, but this approaches confidence, Mr.X will be pleased."
"What's going on in there?" Bit asked.
"None of your business, kid," Tiger Claw told him.
"Business, right, better get to it," Bit freed himself and then smashed through the wall and headed into the city. "Look out, Ecsiplse, you mess this bull's horns for too long."
Back in the city. a group of thugs made off with a sack of cash.
"Must 2,000 bucks in this thing, score!"
"And Sunshine, too busy stopping big bads to worry about us."
"Ta-da! Same my name I magically appear!" Solar was on top of the car. "Okay, you fasten seatbelts, boys, and you should pull over."
"Fat chance!"
He pulled out a gun and shoot at her but missed. Solar kick him in the face twice while the popped the hood to pry her off but Solar grabbed it and used it as a snowboard.
"Surf's up!" Solar exclaimed then jumped off and on top of the car. "Sorry, boys, no free rides in this town."
Solar fired the engine with her flames which made the car come to a complete stop.
"Take it, away boys!" Solar said to the arriving cops then left.
At Canterlot High School cafeteria...
"Well, it's officially girls," Travis told Rainbow and Sunset. "Not only I'm on the football team, but I'm also going to fall formal with the Jade Queen."
"Congrats, dude!" Rainbow high-fived him. "But, Sunset who are you going with?"
Before Sunset had the chance, Duke butt in.
"No way the bacon-head has a date to the formal!" Duke laughed.
"Knock it off, Dynamite!" Rainbow got in his face. "I bet she has a date to the dance."
"I bet she doesn't, what's the call Dash."
"If she does, you and the entire football team have to be cheerleaders for Halloween, If she doesn't, I wear a full-on dress for Halloween."
"You're on, Crash!" Duke exclaimed as both handshake each other while Sunset facepalmed herself.
Much later at the Canterlot Weekly building, Iron Bull arrived.
"This Sunset lady has pics of Solar, so that means she'll lead me straight to her," Iron Bull grinned a bit as he smashed his way to the very top.
...
"So, Rainbow bet what?" Applejack asked.
"She bet Duke, that I can get a dance, to the formal," Sunset explained.
"What's the verdict?"
"If I do, The football team along with Travis have to dress like cheerleaders, don't Rainbow has to be a princess for Halloween."
"Why am I not surprised?" Applejack replied then the ground started to shake. "Um, do feel that, sugarcube."
"I do, but what do get the feeling, it's not natural," Sunset said as Iron Bull smashed through the door.
"Where is she!?" He asked furiously.
There's my answer. No time to think, time to bring down whatever that thing is? Sunset quickly headed to the closest and change into her costume.
"Hey you, cowgirl!" Iron Bull grabbed Applejack. "Where's Sunset?"
"How should I know?" Applejack tried her best not to tell the truth then Iron Bull slammed her to the ground.
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Well, you are dressed stupid," Solar came through the window and fire a magic blast at his face that stunned him, then got Applejack out of the way. "Are you okay, ma'am?"
"Yeah, I think so."
"For your own, safety, get everyone out of here."
"Come on, you heard the superhero, let's move on," Applejack urged everybody to get out leaving Solar and Iron Bull.
"Okay, big guy, what do you want with Sunset?" She asked.
"You, just you, and payback for all times you took me down!" Iron Bull exclaimed.
"Wait a minute, Bit?"
"Not anymore, call me Iron Bull!"
He threw a desk at her making her dodge it, then Solar ran up to him and kick only to bounce off and then proceeded to blast him with fire but it did nothing.
"Now, who's useless!"
"First, High Rise becomes Desert Doom, now Bit is Iron Bull, what will Mr.X do next to turn Duke, into Exploder?" Solar thought while avoiding Iron Bull's attack then punch him in the face. If I can stop him, maybe two feet of concrete will.
Solar headed straight into a room and motioned him then sidestep out of the way and Iron Bull fell straight down and was okay.
"Neat," He said dusting himself off.
"Dang, so much for that idea," Solar exclaimed. "Plan B."
"Hey hornhead, the party's over here!"
Iron Bull rammed through every car that was in his path and chased after Solar.
"You liked being hunted, freak!"
"Says the dude who likes a Mexican bull."
"I may be a freak, but not a coward! The old me never run away scared!"
He approached a fire hydrant smashed it and drank the water.
"Oh, I'm scared all right, scared some innocent people may be caught in the crossfire, need to lure him away from people."
Iron Bull refreshed himself then the closest object and chucked it at her but Solar dodged it.
"Come on, move it or lose it, hippo. Okay, how to find a deserted place in a city of millions of people?
Iron Bull stopped an incoming delivery truck and tore right it.
"Stupid truck, no sunhead creep."
"Ahem, over here."
Iron Bull threw an engine at her forcing her to dodge it then stopped her magic from falling on some people, then Iron Bull tried to ram her with his horns but she jumped up, but not he grabbed her and slammed her on the ground then threw all the way into a sports shop.
"Oh, that's going leave a mark," Solar groaned then Iron Bull caught up and kick her.
"Oh, I'm going to enjoy myself," Iron Bull exclaimed as he prepares to stomp her.
Solar used her magic and caused the weight behind to fall on him then escaped just before he broke free.
"Where did you go!?" Iron Bull panted a bit then grabbed a water tank and drank it to wit Solar was watching.
"Talk about confidence, he refuels himself, then starts smashing me, unless it's not confidence, his suit must be creating extra heat, so he needs cool down, which gives me an idea," Solar smirks then fired a flame orb to get his attention.
"Okay, break's over."
Iron Bull collided right with her, then Solar forced a dumpster to collide with him.
"Overhear horns, let's play follow the leader," Solar jumped into the sewer.
"Think you hide from me down there?" He asked then followed. "Think again."
"Whew, getting a little hot in here, come on you big lug let's go for a run."
Iron Bull chased after her then Solar forced him to go straight into a pipe that released steam on his face.
"What's the matter, mouth a little dry?"
Iron Bull tried to punch her but only to burst out more steam and did it two more times until the entire tunnel.
"You think you got my number, Mr.X said I'm...invincible...and totally unstoppable," Iron Bull said.
"Too true, and nothing can penetrate if you can't perspire, your face is sweating bullets, which is probably enough for most conditions, but in a tunnel full of steam..."
Iron Bull reached for the ladder, but Solar did a flying kick to him.
"Good luck with that," Solar said then used her fire to melt two more pipes steam came out and fill out the entire tunnel forcing Iron Bull to stop himself then Solar kicked him to the ground. "Come one, come all to see the biggest dehydrated turtle."
"I swear on my life, I going to crush the skull of yours, promise X to crush you."
"Are you losing yourself, Bitty?"
"Only mom calls me, Bitty and you're not her!"
"Yes, I think you losing it," Solar remarked.
"Do I have to go to school?"
"So, Bit, tell mommy, who's Mr.X."
"We never used the name Mr. X called him, Xavier Hansen."
Moments later, Solar Eclipse came topside where police had gathered.
"Yeah, you guys are going to need a crane."
Later at the Mercer penthouse.
"I'm impressed, Iron Bull is still underground, and MercerCorp already has the contract to build his cell," Tiger Claw said as Darrell walked down.
"After our success of containing Desert Doom, who else city call?"
"Meaning you get paid to come and go. Good for you."
"Though I love it, but these brawls have caused people to ask questions should put on hold it?"
"We cool it when X gives the word. You don't people to find who created Freak I and Freak II."
"No way they can track it back Mercer or me in general."
"Really, what if they asked Saddles."
...
Back at the Canterlot Weekly building.
"As anyone has seen Sunset?" Applejack asked.
"Still in here, is it safe to come out," Sunset said in the closet.
"Yeah, it's safe, have been in there the whole time?" Applejack asked.
"Yeah, just stay in there, even if Solar Eclipse got him out of there, how are you holding up."
"I'm good, this ain't the first I get thrown down by something ugly and freaking looking, anyway I need to head back to the farm. See you tomorrow," Applejack said then left.
"Okay, so Mr. X's real name goes by Xavier Hansen, someone has to know about him," Sunset thought to herself. "Hey, Mr.Richard do any info on Hansen who goes by Mr. X?"
"I've heard rumors about him being a crime lord but I check it out, he's one of the good guys, a huge philanthropist. If there was it's not him."
Much Later at the Canterlot Tower.
"I'm here to see, Mr.Hansen," Solar said.
"Then you should make an appointment," Hansen said. "But I'll make an exception for the hero of the day. I'm Xavier Hansen."
"Like I buy it, Your Mr.X."
"I have many names, my personal favorite is Gravestone."
"I'm not in the mood right now, I literally took down Iron Bull, A dude in a suit does not scare me," Solar exclaimed as tried to punch him but Gravestone push her off and quickly subdued her.
"Don't move, just listen. And I teach you the facts of life," Gravestone said the Solar used magic and hurled 8-ball at him only to catch and crushed it. "Whoever Mr.X is, as no beef with heroes, no hero can thwart enough crime to dent his income. But you, you frighten criminals off the street entirely, except when you battle the likes of Iron Bull, then Mr.X's army of profitable criminal thugs goes underneath your notice."
"Let me get this straight, as long I fight crime, you make supervillains who not only want to kill me but make more crime?"
"Not you're getting the picture. But there is an out," Gravestone said then showed her a briefcase full of money. "Work under me, you still be the hero, and nobody will ever know."
"Sorry, buddy I made a vow to never to look the other way," Solar said then left.
"You'll be back very soon," Gravestone said while looking out the view.
Hours later at Sunset's home.
"This reeks, I won all the battles but never came close to winning the war. But Graves made one mistake, now I know there is a war, so bring it on," Sunset got changed for the formal. "For now, it's time to enjoy myself. Knowing good and well that Duke and his crew as cheerleaders, I'll take it."
Sunset Shimmer: Hero of Canterlot City
It was a crisp evening in the city of Canterlot, where a Solar Eclipse was thrown out of Canterlot Tower.
"This is not how my night was supposed to go," Solar said and popped back in. "Okay, where's the dude with nasty tude."
Solar dodged two laser shots there she faced someone who wearing an elf costume with diamond gear and was on a glider.
"Present and accounted for!" He said as threw an emerald bomb at her but she dodged it just explodes and then threw two emerald shards but only to tear a part of her suit.
"Hey, did tear your suit...whatever name is, leave the threads, that's an order!"
"Ah, but the Emerland Elf doesn't take orders from insects, he swats them with style!"
"First of all, I dress like the sun-Oh horseapples!"
Emerland Elf threw a bomb at her only for Solar to use her magic and hoisted her into the air. Then she hurled everything at him only to be blasted down.
"Do you have an invitation, Eclipse? Otherwise, I'm afraid I'm going to ask to leave."
"Why, leave now, not when Table 7 needs more appetizers," Solar replied. "How can everything go from sweet to sour in one night?"
Couple of hours before...
"Party time!" Pinkie screamed as she fired her party cannon that blasted off confetti.
"How much energy is inside of her?" Twilight asked.
"Most of us, have known not to question her," Flash said.
"Point taken, who got winning for King and Queen of the Formal."
"Not sure, but where's Travis?"
"Over there with Duke and the others," Twilight said while seeing him. "I'm glad he decides to play football, but there's that part of me that something can go wrong."
"No way," Flash Sentry gasped as he saw something.
"Is everything okay...holy mackerel!" Twilight exclaimed as she and Flash saw Sunset with Devon Daniels.
"Ahh, I win, Dynamite!" Rainbow exclaimed. "I can't wait to see you and the guys dressed as cheerleaders."
"Not that's odd?" Jade came in.
"What's odd?"
"Has anyone seen Travis? I haven't seen him."
"Last I checked he went to his locker."
Meanwhile at Mercer Corp
"Uh, is anyone there?" Sassy Saddles asked then got started by her looking at the mirror. "Oh, look at yourself, Sassy. You're afraid of your own reflection. The next thing you know you'll be seeing gremlins in the machinery."
Suddenly, The Emerland Elf had stolen the glider.
"Stop, whatever you are, that is Mercer technology," Sassy exclaimed as a duck from Elf's pursued and crashed through the window.
At broken down house...
"Why did we have to bring the safe here? I could have cracked it open?" A thug said.
"The cops we would have cracked you open. Cops or Solar Eclipse," Another thug told. "Look, Tiger Claw's waiting for Mr.X's cut. Screw the crowbar, blow it up."
"Oh, blow yourself up."
The door was blasted showing the Emerland Elf.
"Did someone mention explosives?" He asked.
"Get the freak!"
One thug jumped right at him, but he finger blasted her, then another tried to punch him but grabbed him and tossed him aside. The remainder was about to use his crowbar but Elf pulled his sword at pointed it right at him.
"I meant, get the freak anything he wants."
"What I want is your undying loyalty. Or the dying kind. The Emerland Elf is nothing but flexible."
Elf planted a miniature bomb on the safe that exploded and he tossed the sack to one of them.
"Thanks for the help, but we work for Mr. X. We switch sides and we might as well tie the toe tags ourselves."
"I'm good with knots, too. As for Mr. X, this party is over."
Much Later at the Canterlot Tower.
"May I have your attention," Xavier was on stage. "As most of you know, I am your host, Xavier Hansen. Thank you all for coming to support the Hansen Dynamic Youth Center."
Then the people clapped as well Plantuim Writer and his son Galatic Star.
"Some shindig, huh, Galatic," Platutim said.
"It's great, dad, but to be honest, I was looking forward to it just being you, me, and a rare steak."
"Oh the heck, Xavier's got enough of the newspaper's money. We can be at Edward's in 88 seconds."
Just as were going into the elevator, they were by a goon in an elf mask.
"Sorry's elevator is out of order," He armed his gun at them then two more came from the stairs.
"Stairs, too, of course, you could try a window."
Then the Emerland Elf crashed through a window.
"Oops, too late."
"Hello. Good evening. Bonjour. I am the Emerland Elf, and I am looking for Mr.X." '
"Sir, I don't know who are, but..."
"Of course, you don't. That's the whole point of the mask, genius. But I know who you are, crime lord. So step down, or I start sharing secrets."
"You're making a big mistake. Security, this man is obviously troubled. Take care of him."
"Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, still hiding behind a group of thugs, are we?"
Two of them fire their taserline at him but instead, Emerald Elf grabbed and reverse the charge and shock them instead.
Oh, he swings through the air, dishing all kinds of fear. This daring Elf on the big chandelier.
As Elf was singing, Galatic quickly disarmed Elf goon's gun at aimed at him.
"Dad, move! We have to get these people...AHH!" He got zapped by Elf's fingerblast.
"Now, now. Stay put or else," He threatened him.
"There's no need to threaten my guests."
"There is if I want witnesses."
"Kid, are alright?" Plantium Writer asked.
"Yeah, I'm okay."
Plantium Writer reached for his earpiece and called Thunder Prism.
Yeah? Okay, slow down, A emerald what now?
"Elf. Emerald Elf. No reporter, I'll cover the story myself, but get me Shimmer, this is right up her alley, and also call the police."
At Canterlot High most of the students were on the dance floor Sunset and Rarity were talking.
"I still can believe you manage to get Devon Daniels to companies you to the Formal."
"Well, Rainbow suggested that and of course worked the courage to ask him to dance with me," Sunset replied as her phone rang. "Just when I thought I can have a night to myself, I get a call from work. Sorry, Rarity I have to go."
Back at the Canterlot Tower.
"What do you hope to accomplish tonight?" Hansen asked.
"So the whole wanting to kill you and take over empire thing was not clear? Well, duh," Elf said with a remark.
"Uh, excuse me," Solar came through the window that Elf crashed through. "Can I come this way or do break my own window."
"Solar Eclipse!"
"Your timing is impeccable."
"So, your latest super jerk pulled a fast one on you, Graves?"
"I don't know who he is yet, but he's not in my employ."
"That's okay, I can pretend that he's yours while trouncing him. I still feel warm inside."
"I'm standing right here!" Elf spoke. "Talk about rude much."
"Oh, were my manners? Here you come to terrorize the Grave and I didn't say thank you. The only excuse I have is your holding innocent people hostage. It's confusing to my solarized brian."
Then Elf flew up to her.
"Yes, quite the puzzler, but I hold the solution. You and I join forces. We could accomplish a lot with our powers. We could rule Canterot City!"
"No can do, I made it clear not to align with anyone who wears green. Or completely psychotic."
"Your loss. Of Life!"
Elf's finger blasted her, but Solar dodged it, then used her magic and send two chairs right at him only to be blasted to bits then Elf lunged kick out of the window.
"This is not how my night was supposed to go," Solar said and popped back in. "Okay, where's the dude with nasty tude."
Solar dodged two laser shots and then looked to see Emerald Elf.
"Present and accounted for!" He said as he threw an emerald bomb at her but she dodged it just as it explodes.
"The moment you all been waiting for," Principal Celestia was on stage. "The time has come to announce this year's king and queen of the formal. Ms.Luna would you take it away."
"This year's king of the Formal is...Flash Sentry! And for our queen is...Twilight Sparkle!"
Both Twilight and Flash got on stage and were given their crowns then at moment they kissed each other.
"Aww." Everyone cooed at them.
Emerland Elf threw everything at Solar, then the sun-themed hero got on his glider then tighten her grip on him.
"On want to ride share? Keep our guest's comfy boys. I'll be back in a quick minute."
He flew out and started to a barrel roll.
"Seriously, Elfy, do you have a license for this thing?" Solar asked then pushed off not before alleviating herself. "Take that, gravity! Yeah haw!"
Then Elf bashed her with his gilder.
"You know the old saying, if you can't join'em, beat'em."
"Took the words right out of my mouth!"
Solar shot them all down with her magic.
"Is that felony so?"
"I certainly hope so, this little elf wouldn't caught dead committing a misdemeanor," then he threw a bomb at her.
"Nice banter," Solar doged it. "But the aim needs works."
"Well practice makes perfect."
"Keep telling yourself that!"
Emerland Elf fired a bomb from his glider that Solar caught with her magic and send it back only for him to avoid it then Solar punched him right off it.
"And that's for making me protect Gravestone."
Elf backed straight into a building, he then did a backflip over top of it, then landed on his gilder.
"Okay, I have to admit that was epic, but playtime's over!"
Just as Elf draws his sword, Solar kick him right at the face then grabbed him slammed to the ground then trap him in a bubble just as Elf was laughing.
"Now what's so funny?"
"Just the special brimstone emerland mine I left behind as a present for Mr. Hansen. Any moment now, the creme de la creme of Canterlot City is going to paint the town red. Well the ballroom anyway."'
After hearing him said, Solar teleported herself back there.
....
"Uh, what are we supposed to do?"
"Keep everyone in here until the Elf gets back."
"Or maybe clear out before his bomb goes off," Solar appears in the ballroom. "Move!"
Then the Elf goons fired there their lasers at her then Solar used her magic and swatted them.
"What are you doing? You have to get going. Bad guys as well."
"We work for the Elf."
"Every single blasted fragment of you."
"Your bluffing."
"Is that a risk you're willing to take? Especially when you've already taken so many," Hansen implied the Elf goons escape.
"Everyone takes the stairs! If the bomb goes off, the elevators won't be safe," Galatic took charge then everyone headed out.
"Okay, if I was evil emerald, where would I be?" Solar asked then saw Gravestone searching the place. "I'm surprised you're sticking around?"
"MY party, my mess."
"Solar, the chandelier!" Galactic came back and told her.
"Thanks, now go!" Solar headed to the chandelier grabbed the bomb and tossed it out of the window just as it exploded.
Much later...
"Congrats, Twilight on you and Flash on becoming King and Queen of the Formal," Sunset said over the phone.
"Sorry you had to miss it, I didn't know what came over me when I kissed Flash on the lip, I mean the whole school knew that were a couple, but that was breathtaking."
"It's called being in a moment, listen I got to get some sleep to see you tomorrow," Sunset ended the call. "From Raptor, Surge, Discharge, Desert Doom, Iron Bull, and now added the Emerland Elf. Man, I have a lot of bad guys who want me dead. I need to find out who he is before someone gets really hurt by that manic."
Sunset Shimmer: Hero of Canterlot City
After her fight with Emerland Elf, Sunset was in the confines of her apartment thinking to herself.
"Okay, so I know that Discharge, Desert Doom, and Iron Bull are working for Gravestone, but Elf just popped out of nowhere and almost tried to kill him and several others. I need to unmask that freak before anyone else gets hurt. So the question remains who is the Elf?"
Then Sunset got her in her costume.
"Maybe some good night patrol will clear some things," Solar said before heading out.
At MercerCorp...
"But what about, Solar Eclipse?" Sassy asked Darell. "He's battled Desert Doom and Iron Bull. She could trace them back to MercerCorp. To me!"
"Enough! You whine more than my son," Darell said to her. "I can't have weak employees in my organization, Saddles. Do you understand?"
"Yes sir, I'll do what I'm told."
"That's all I ask. Now run your little experiments like a good doctor."
Darell left the room leaving her all alone.
"Okay time to test my research regrowing hair," Sassy said as her hair formula was on her then suddenly Emerland Elf was right behind her zapping her hair.
"What are you doing the formula is highly reactive to any electrical exposure!" Sassy said as the lighting also made it go directly into her brain.
Just outside, Solar saw a bright light outside of MercerCorp.
"That can't be good, I need to get over there and quick!"
...
"What the devil is going on?" Darell asked.
"It's Ms. Saddles, sir. She's down, but the doors are shut..."
"Then open it, will you!"
The workers opened it and went inside.
"Miss Saddles are you okay? Where are you?" He looked around and saw her on the ground covered in rubble. "Saddles!"
"I got it," Solar came in and use her magic to get it off allowing them to get her out of there.
"How is she?"
"She's got a pulse, sir but it looks like whatever she was working on had somehow fused with her skin."
Then Sassy regained her bearing.
"Sassy, Sassy are you there?"
"I will not be weak," Sassy slowly got up then her hair started to move.
"Sassy, please get..."
Her hair grabbed him and then slammed him to the wall.
"Quiet, you impudent moron!"
"Okay, hair girl!" Solar came in. "Mr.Mercer here helped save your life."
"You!"
Her hair grabbed her and wrapped her up.
"For the record, I helped save your life, too."
"Do not insult my intellect, hero. You tracked me down and tried to destroy me, as I knew."
"Destroy you, I don't even know you."
"Oh, but I survived. And more to the point, I have improved. I am now one with my hair. Oh, you've failed, Solar Eclipse. And your failure has given me new life!"
Then she released Darell.
"Sassy?"
"Not Sassy. Sassy Saddles was weak. Call me Mistress Mayhem!"
"Look, Mayhem. Have you thought this through? The next hero who finds you understand a pile of debris might view this a cation tale."
Then Mayhem slammed to the ground.
"Gilb doesn't equal clever, Eclipse."
"Yeah, well, the ratio of hair to sanity doesn't line up either."
"Do you ever shut up!" Sassy exclaimed the punched her.
"No, my fans expect a certain amount of jokes in every battle."
Then both engage in a tussle, Mistress Mayhem threw off Solar to wall, but Solar quickly kick her right at the ribs.
"Come on, Mayhem, can we hug it out," Solar joked.
Then the hairy villain chuck several pieces of debris at her but she dodged everyone.
"You can't dodge forever," Mayhem exclaimed. "But as much I would continue this, I have things to handle, so I bid you adieu."
Mayhem grabbed Solar's leg and threw her across the room and left the lab.
Moments later at random building.
"Mistress Mayhem is long gone, as if Elf wasn't bad enough now with villian whose hair is a weapon," Solar exclaimed.
On the other side of Canterlot City.
"I can't belive I once lived in this anemic hovel," Mayhem said looking around her house. "Well, no more! And no more Yes Mr. Mercer. I'm sorry, Mr. Mercer. Please Mr. Mercer. How grovel before that man. But soon, the whole world will grovel before Mistress Mayhem, but first, I would need a power source that won't abandon me mid-battle."
She took the power source of chest armor and inserted a new one.
"But these will have to do short term. But I need solid answer to ensure the Solar's demise."
The next day at the Equestria Fair...
"Hey, Twilight," Sunset walked over to her.
"Oh, Sunset, I'm glad you're here. Something is really weird with Travis."
"And your surprised at this?"
"Sunset," Twilight glare at her.
"Okay, I'll admit, the football has gone to his head. But look at him. He's a walking commercial for happy."
"It's not that, just the other day I found him passed out on school grounds."
Then the girls came along...
"The whole gang's here," Rainbow said. "I'm so pumped for the Halloween Bash."
"I'm pretty sure, your only exitced because you want to see Duke in a cheerleader costume," Applejack said.
"Come on, AJ, haven't we all been through enough torment from the guy," Rainbow said then something caught her eyes. "What the buck is that?"
All seven of them, look up and Mistress Mayhem leaped building to building.
"Time to act." Sunset thought to herself. "Oh crud, to much sugar I need to go the bathroom, later."
"Maybe that time of eating sugar at the Starswril Festival has really got to her," Pinkie said.
At nearby lab, Mistress Mayhem who was now wearing purple jumpsuit broke through the window.
"Ahm the old stomping grounds."
"Sassy? Is that you?" A worker asked as he saw her.
"Dr. Weksi, how nice to see you again. Now perhaps you will recall that when I was last employed here, I was at work on a prototype long-term power source."
"The Megalo Pack...but..."
"My work! And yet when I departed, you took possession of it. Now in hindsight, does that seem quite fair?"
"It's in R&D. Vault 8!"
"My lucky number!"
Mayhem headed straight to R&D and saw the device.
"Ah, like an old friend," She exclaimed as she try to grab it.
"Gangway! Coming through!" Solar came by and grabbed it.
"Solar!" Mayhem grumbled.
"How it's going, love the new look," Solar said.
"Hand over the device this instant."
"I'm thinking no."
"Then you invite yourself to your doom. Your enclosed space, hero," Then her hair form spinning buzzsaws.
"Where can you hide?"
Solar avoided all of them then fired a blast of magic at her stunning her eyes allowing Solar passed.
"You will pay for this indignity!"
Meanwhile Solar appeared right behind of Dr. Weski.
"Hi. In a hurry. Being chased by hairy girl who wants this. What is it?"
"The Megalo-Pack. A Power source. Holds a sizeable charge for years at a time."
"Thanks, you should hide now!" Solar thank then jumped out of the building which Mistress Mayhem right behind her.
"So Miss Hairy needs power, which explains why she took off so fast. So just play keep away until her tank is on empty. No sweat."
One of Mayhem's hair tenetalce strikes at her sending crahsing right at the middle of the fair.
"Okay, maybe a little sweat," Solar quickly got up.
"Everybody run!" Pinkie exclaimed as the people ran away just Mistress Mayhem showed up.
"And now, back to our regualry scheduled chaos." Solar headed to right to her.
As such Mistress Mayhem caused chaos, admist of all Twilight tripped over and was right in the villains path then Solar came by and grabbed her and took her to the group.
"Thanks for the company. I'd like to stay but I got a doctor's appointment."
Then Solar got strucked by Mistress Mayhem and right into the hammer game.
"Double M, your bedside manner stinks."
She led her straight to the ferrris wheel, avoiding all of her attacks.
"Hand it over or suffer the conquesces of your stupidity."
Then a candy apple was on her face.
"Oh, you sweet talker, you," As Solar used magic and hurled several candied apples on her.
The hairy villain smashed the stand forcing Solar to dodged then roded on a ice cream cart then fire a flame blast right a her sending her right on the ground. Mistress Mayhem quicky got up and grabbed the closet object around and chuck at her but Solar dodged it by blasting it.
"Don't Solar. I got your back!" Duke prepared to attack.
"No!"
Just before Mayhem had a chance, Solar grabbed him just as she was about to attack.
"Apprecaite the help, fanboy, but keep clear. You're not pretty enough to save twice."
"Right. Smack her one for me," Duke said as he ran along.
Mistress smashed her then grabbed Fluttershy.
"Fluttershy!" Rainbow and the others shouted.
"I should've seen it sooner, Solar Eclipse. You're weak," As Mistress tighten her grip on Fluttershy. "You can't bear to see anyone hurt."
"I could learn to make an exception."
Solar fired two orbs at her but she avoided her.
"And your meager thought process is so transpeanrt. Stall until the power runs out. But this one has another hour or so at the very least. And think of all the damage I can do in one hour, starting with the girl."
Mistress led her straight to the rollercoaster.
"Choose! The device or the girl?" She asked her as smashed through it and drops her at the hole but the nature girl holds on for dear life.
"No one uses my friends for a barigning chip." Solar thoughted to herself. "You want it, then fecth!"
She threw on the other side of the fair making her chase after.
"Please somebody help me!" Fluttershy cried as started to lose her grip and fall.
As she was fallen, Solar grabbed her landed her on ground. Then head out of there and straight to the villain.
"Finallly, it's mine!" Mistress Mayhem said as holded the Megalo Pack.
"But you won't get the chance to use as long I'm conscious," Solar came right at her.
"A scenario easily reminded."
One of her hair tentacles grabs her by the leg and slams her on the ground then picked her.
"As I was saying..."
She dropped her then took out the currently and was about insert the new one then Solar used her new Solar-Signal to blinded her then used her magic to grabbed both of them the kick at the chest the then use her magic and hurled right into the broken down ride knocking her out.
Moments later the police arrived and just put the handcuff on her.
"Sheesh, what happened here?" Sunset came by.
"What happened was some hairy villain came by cause trouble here and grabbed Fluttershy, then Solar Eclipse not only rescued her but also kick her butt," Rainbow exclaimed. "And where were you?"
"After I finish powered my nose, I ran and hide from whatever that thing is?" Sunset replied.
"Apart from that, we really need to talk to Travis. I'm worried about him," Twilight came in.
"Yeah but one question where is he?"
At the Mercer penthouse, Darell and Tiger Claw were talking.
"I'm talking about the Emeralnd Elf. The nutjob's attacking Mr. X's operations," Tiger Claw told him. "And far as we can tell, he's using a lot of Mercer tech."
"My tech has been stolen. I've lost my top scientist, my lab's destroyed and my projects are risk," Darell showed him the footage of the Emerland Elf breaking in. "Why would I be behind all that?"
"Okay. you got a point. But the Elf..."
"Is a common enemy to both our lines of work. And our common goal must be to unmask him before it's too late."

Chapter 9-The Uncertainty Principle
Author's Note
Happy Nightmare Night to all of you and enjoy this chapter.
Chapter 9-The Uncertainty Principle
"Twas the night before Halloween, and all through Canterlot, not a criminal was stirring," Solar said while looking at the city while they were preparing for the Halloween Bash. "Not even the Emerland Elf. Might as well enjoy the peace and quiet while I can because sooner or later he will some trouble and tonight I will unmask him."
Meanwhile, Tiger Claw was in his car thinking to himself unaware that Elf threw an emerald shard at the tire making it pop, and crashing the car at the window.
The driver got out and aimed her gun at Emerald Elf to wit the villain threw an emerald bomb that exploded right at her and sent her back then Tiger Claw opened his door and caused Elf to take a bad spin and land on the ground to wit he smiled.
"Keep on smiling, creep," Tiger Claw retraced his claws. "I hear green's the new black and blue."
He charged right at him only to miss him entirely.
"You should be green with envy because you lack my fashion sense," Elf replied then his gilder sprayed knockout gas at Tiger Claw making him fall asleep. "Oh, and built-in gas mask."
Much later...
"Elf, I know you're out there," Tiger Claw said as he was tied up.
"Out there. In here,, Everywhere. Yes, this will soon be my town, TC, and I could use a good right-hand flunkie."
"Not going to happen. Do you think I'm afraid of a goofball dress for Halloween? Can't be afraid of what you don't respect. And I've only respected one man enough to fear."
"Mr.X or known as Xavier Hansen, I've already peeked under his mask."
"Xavier is the mask. Mr.X is Gravestone cause that's all that's left when you cross him."
"Well if that's true, then a man like must surely have life insurance," Elf pulled his sword from his gilder.
At Canterlot High...
"What's that you got there, Travis?" Twilight caught him by surprise.
"Nothing. A new soda," He replied.
"Then you won't mind me trying it."
"No way!"
"This is why you were passed out the other night! Travis, whatever that stuff is, you need help!"
"This is help! 4.0 GPA, a football stud, in-crowd, all thanks to the green," Travis said as he drank it. "A few blackouts are a small price to pay. So spare me your concern. My life's great."
At Canterlot Tower
"Dial Tiger Claw," Gravestone called his phone only to hear it ringed.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Tiger Claw can't come to phone right as this moment," Emerald said as he was in the room. "He's a bit tied up. Gotta love the classics."
"Tiger Claw can take care of himself."
"And yourself apparently. He had a portable jump with enough evidence to put dear Mr. Hansen behind bars forever. Not to worry the drive is in Elf's hands... but it's not on me but I'll have it tonight."
"When and where?"
"Believe me, you'll know."
"I smell a trap when I..."
Then his gilder came through and Elf jumped on it.
"But that's what makes it fun. Besides what choice do you have? Oh, and come alone."
Meanwhile...
"When Twilight said something's wrong with Travis she wasn't kidding, and the next thing you know I'm flying through the city to have a talk with him," Solar said then saw Elf flying. "And look who's finally shown his ugly face."
Emerald Elf was soon caught in Solar's magic.
"Ooh, caught me a big one!"
"Who's landed whom!"
Elf came right at her making her duck under it then Solar followed it.
"Where you been, Elfy? Vacation?"
"Been looking for you."
Then Solar came right at him with a punch, then Elf held her tight.
"We both want Gravestone out of the picture."
"For completely different reasons!"
"Details, details. And speaking of details, I have a portable jump with enough evidence to put Gravestone down for good."
"Great, hand it over. I'll take both of you in."
"Not so fast, it ain't on me. But I'll have it tonight."
"When and where?"
"Anyone else getting deja vu? Oh, well let's run with it. Believe me, you'll know."
Emerald Elf pushed her off and right into the ventilation fan.
Hours later it was a full moon as Solar was on the building.
"If Twilight's right, losing Elfy will seem less painful than talking to Travis."
"I'm not kidding, Travis. We need to talk," Sunset was on the phone with her.
Then come on up.
"Not a good idea, just come down."
Oh, do you give me an earful for Twilight? No thanks. Besides I need to get in costume. I'll meet you in an hour at Halloween Bash.
...
"Yo, Thunder is everything okay?" Rainbow asked him.
"I wish, I just heard from my dad about what's happened with the shuttle," He replied.
"Oh, yeah I heard about it, I guess the guy is like an older brother to you just like me and Scottaloo."
Then later, Solar was looking down at the Bash, then her phone rang.
"Twilight?"
Oh, Sunset, finally. I've been calling and what's up with Travis?
"He's meeting me at the carnival. I'm already here. Where are you?"
Then Solar dropped down right in front of her.
"Sunset?" Twilight asked.
"Nice costume, huh?" Sunset replied as dropped her mask.
"I'm gonna cream Mercer," Duke exclaimed as he and the guys formed a pyramid. "The little twerp was supposed to be the top of our pyramid! Hey look, it's the sun geek!" Duke looked at Sunset then he and the guys fall down.
"My word, that is such a fine costume, the craftsmanship is glorious," Rarity exclaimed.
"I just happened to find these lying around, whoever she is, I hope to get to meet her one day," Sunset said then the fireworks went off.
"Pretty," Pinkie and Sonata exclaimed.
Then one of the fireworks showed an elf image.
"Elf," Sunset quietly said before taking off. "He must be at Steel Mike's factory."
Just as Solar arrived, Gravestone hopped out of his chopper.
"So, Elfy offered you the secret toy surprises, too?" Solar suggested. "Trap?"
"Trap," Gravstone replied.
"Figures, don't wait up."
Both headed into the lave forge of the factory.
"A lava factory, what's with bad guys and lava factories?"
"This is so embarrassing," Tiger Claw said while dangling from the air.
"And disappointing. Did you really think you needed a jumped drive to protect you or could protect you?"
"Ah, come on boss. You can't have fallen for that. There's no drive, nor any evidence. There never was."
"Yes, yes, I'm a big fat liar," Elf replied then several bombs went off. "Like we didn't all know this was a trap?"
Solar grabbed Gravestone and then jumped to a secure location before being dunked by a vat of lava.
"Welcome to the Emerald Elf's House of Horror!"
Solar and Gravestone avoided the bombs that Elf threw at them, then Elf fired three emerald shards at Gravestone but didn't hurt him, then he turned his focus to Solar by firing his finger lasers at her then, Gravestone picked a crowbar and threw right at Elf's gilder knocking him off balance.
"Uh, thanks."
"Take the Elf or very least unmask him, and we'll call it even."
"Uh, excuse me, who rescued who from the molten steel?"
As Solar fought off Emerald Elf, Gravestone headed to the control room and pulled in Tiger Claw and freed him and both headed out.
Such as Solar knocked him off his gilder.
"Next time you throw a bash, bring snacks for the guests they'll stay longer."
"But at least l brought party favers."
Elf jumped back on his gilder and then open a chute that realise multiple bombs.
"Oh, why don't you save the trouble and give up!" Elf grabbed her then sucker-punched her.
"Cause I know secret, I know whose face is behind that mask."
"We all wear masks, Solar Eclipse. But which one is real? The hides your face, or the one that is your face?" He replied then fried emerald shards at her and she dodged it and the bomb.
"I know you're Darell Mercer!"
"Am I?"
Solar used her magic and trap him in her aura.
"Nice one, here mine," Elf's gilder fired goo at her which traps her then he uses it to harness and hook her. "What do you think of my Elf Goo? Now let's see what cracks first, the goo or your bones."
He went through a pipe and then swung her side to side.
"Well, that taught us nothing, perhaps a more drastic test is required!"
Elf went high into the full moon sky and drop her.
"Happy landing!"
"Okay, don't panic, I haven't tried this move in a long time, so fingers crossed," Solar said as rolled in mid-air and became a ball of fire and bounced all the way to the ground and remove the goo. "Okay. All this pain at least I'm still alive."
Then Elf flew down at threw a bomb at her, Solar deflect it with her magic and send it back to him and causing him to crash.
The Elf got backed up and limped his way to his gilder and took off, just as he was taking off, Solar fired a sphere of magic at him but missed.
"Go ahead. Run, I know where you live," Solar said as she followed him.
Much later, Solar arrived at the Mercer Penthouse.
"I knew it!" Solar exclaimed as Emerald Elf pulled off his mask and reveal to be Travis. "Wait a minute, you're the Emerald Elf?"
"No! This isn't my costume! I was supposed to be a cheerleader," Travis said then winced due to his twisted leg.
Then Darell came in.
"Travis? Solar Eclipse? And why is Travis is wearing the..." Darell asked then saw the vial. "Where did this come from?"
"Dad, I can explain..."
"What is it?" Solar asked.
"Elfkin Green. An early stage, experimental performance enhancer, highly unstable and addictive. Why would do you something so dangerous? So stupid?" Darell asked him, then Travis twisted his arm then tossed across the room.
"For you!" Travis exclaimed as Solar catch him. "You told me to man up! I took the green to become the son you always wanted me to be. To become a man, like you."
Travis fainted and Solar before he fell to the ground then heard him snoring.
"This makes no sense. If this kid's the Elf, why would he attack Mr. X? Why attack Mercer Corp?"
"I've had dealings with Mr. X," Darell told her. "But when I tried to extricate myself, I was threatened by his stooge, Tiger Claw. And somehow, Travis overheard, while he was under the influence of the green his subconscious created someone who take Mr. X down. I will not allow this. I'll say I was the Elf. After all, I invented the green making me the obvious suspect."
"No, sir, he needs you," Solar said. "And what good can you do him locked away for a crime you didn't commit?'
"Didn't I? This is all my fault. I drove Travis to... I will get him help, I swear. If you let me."
"Me?"
"If you turn him in, if Mr. X learns Travis was the Elf, he wouldn't survive the night. Please he's my only child."
"And my best friend." Solar thoughted then headed out. "The Elf disappears, forever leaving a mystery that never gets solved."
"Thank you."
The next day at the Canterlot Weekly building, Thunder Prism showed Platinum Writer, a paper of Solar beating Elf from their rivals, The Daily Crown.
"And should I care what the Crown runs on its front page?"
"Because their Solar Eclipse scoop and Shimmer's pictures of it slaughtered our space shuttle coverage at the newsstands."
"Which means the people have spoken, get Shimmer in here, and locked her to an exclusive deal. If they want Solar Eclipse, we'll give'em Solar Eclipse."
At Cantelot High...
"Hey guys," Sonata greeted Aria, Twilight, and Sunset in the cafeteria. "What with the glum looks?"
"Haven't you heard, Travis is taking a leave of absence," Aria replied. "His dad said he had come down with something."
"Well, at least, he finally getting some help," Twilight firmly said.
"Then why it doesn't feel like a happy ending," Sunset added. "They can never know that Travis was the Emerald Elf. That is one secret I will keep to my self.
Sunset Shimmer: Hero of Canterlot City
Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter. Sunset Shimmer: Hero of Canterlot City
It was a musky day in Canterlot City at Havencroft, a rehab facility for criminals, as one of the doctors was talking to Surge.
"Dylan, I'm very proud of you. You've made tremendous progress. You continue therapy, but I just know you'll do great out there."
"Owe it to all to you, doc, thanks."
Sometime later Surge was a phoneline and made to someone.
"I'm out."
"Excellent, Dylan, I'm so pleased," Misstress Mayhem was on the other end.
"You're the only person who wrote to me at Havencroft, Dr. Saddles."
"I've taken a special interest in your case, an interest which should benefit both us both."
"Yeah, love the idea of double teaming you know who?"
'Double team, we can do better than that."
...
"Are kidding me?! A sandwich!? This has to be a joke, right?! Raw silicates only, Stout! I don't eat food no more!" He tossed the sandwich at the door.
"Just save room, for dessert, Solar a la mode."
Just outside of the prison island, Surge retracted his mask and began to short out the generator. Two guards took notice and ran straight to him.
"Freeze!" one of them said until Surge fired a thunderbolt at both of them knocking them out, then fire another one at the generator destroying it, causing the power to short, which the cells that were designed for Iron Bull and Desert Doom powered down.
"Do not approach wall... or..." the voice stammered until it was silent and the alarm came on.
"Finally she shuts up!" Iron Bull exclaimed rammed right through it then Desert Doom emerged on the other side.
"Back in busseniess, bady!" Both high-five each other as they made their way to other cells and free Wallace, Sassy, Regina, Tauro, and Slick and headed outside.
"Stop right there!" A prison guard said as they fired voltage lines at Iron Bull, who felt a little jolt.
"Tickles," Iron Bull exclaimed as plowed right through them then on the other side Surge blew up the wall to see them.
"Ahh, Dylann it's good to see you," Sassy said.
"No offense, doc, I go by Surge now," He pointed out.
"I understand completely if you would do the honors?"
Surge charges Sassy's power core lit up then a helicopter came down showing Tiger Claw.
"Hello, gents," Tiger Claw greeted as he and his driver handed the gear to Regina, Wallace, and Sassy. "Okay, Slicker, Tauro, you're with me. Regina, stick with these mooks for now. The last boat off the island is that way."
The villains headed for the boat and Tiger Claw's chopper took off as they made it to Canterlot City.
"Gotta love these lazy Saturday mornings," Sunset said then look at her clock seeing it was already 12:16. "Or noons. Better get up."
She went to her closet and her costume was already on her.
"Wow. This alien suit is quite a timesaver," Sunset said then put on her clothes. "How can I ever live without you?"
Moments later she calls Twilight on her phone.
"Hey, Twilight, I was wondering do want to hang out?" Sunset asked.
I'd love to but I promised Flurry Heart that we spend time together. On an unrelated note, I've just heard from Rainbow that five of Solar Eclipse's enemies have just escaped.
"Did not know that. I'll be careful out there. Same to you."
"Hey Barton," Sunset greeted him only to give him the cold shoulder. "Is something wrong?"
"Something wrong, you take pictures of Solar stealing the ooze and didn't call the cops and you wonder if I'm ticked?"
"I'm sorry..."
"Save it, I was over the whole snake thing, but this who are, a user. You do what gets you ahead, even if it hurts those that close to you. At least Rainbow Dash nor Sprint Streak would leave them hanging. What you need is a taste of your own medicine, and have something you care about taken away. The trouble is I'm not sure you actually care about anything," He said to her then left on his motorcycle.
Much later...
"Oh great. Perfect, Wonderful," Solar said to herself. "I've lost my oldest friend. Well, who needs him? I got the cool new suit,"
Then she heard police sirens.
"And something to blow some steam."
At the Canterlot Theater...
"I just heard St. John Devenaux is just hilarious as Falstaff," Flurry Heart said to Twilight then police cars showed up and created a barricade.
"Freeze, Bit!" One of them said as Iron Bull came right at them.
"It's that awful bull person that Applejack told me about," Twilight exclaimed.
"Ah, Iron Bull," Solar shouted as she showed up. "I knew there was no prison wide enough to hold you."
"Wide enough, funny," He chuckled a bit.
"I knew they talk trade jokes in the slammer but sense a humor?" then her head flash. "I usually don't get flashes when the bad guy's in plain sight."
Desert Doom surprised her with a punch.
"Sorry, Sunny. Was supposed to wait my turn?" He asked her
"Wait you two are partners again?"
"Us two?" Queen Toxic implied as Discharge walked up.
"You're not getting off that easy, sister," She said as Raptor landed, Surge slid across a panel and Mistress Mayhem jumped to ground level.
"Now then, Solar, any last words?" The hairy villain asked.
"Homina, homina, homina, comes to mind." Solar said as the six approached her then Twilight and Flurry Heart stopped them.
"Ladies, you may want to step aside," Mistress Mayhem said.
"So you can attack her, I think not," Twilight said.
"I'll be fine ma'am to get to safety," Solar said to her.
"Plow through them, already!" Iron Bull shouted only for Mistress Mayhem to stop him.
"Show's stating," Solar grabs both of them and headed into the theater. "Are you okay?"
"I think so," Twilight said.
Then a hair tentacle grabs her by the waist.
"Don't worry about me, get as far away as you can!"
"Yes, run along now, ladies," Mistrees Mayhem said then both of them headed further into theater.
"Pull," Discharge said.
Mistress Mayhem tossed her into the air then Discharge blasted a shockwave at her making her crash upon a car then Surge fired a bolt at her but she dodged. only Iron Bull ram right at her but missed and hit the wall.
"Only six, huh? What happened Fang and Elf had Knicks tickets?" Solar asked. "Gotta get some altitude and deal with one at time."
"Alright, time for you to get grounded!" Solar exclaimed as she launched Raptor's back and punch his engine but only to hurt.
"Nice try, I already picked up on your tricks, my tech protect by reinforced steel!" Raptor said then got grabbed by Misterss Mayhem.
"In fact, none of your former methods will work on us, a second time!" She exclaimed then threw her right at Desert Doom who then created bat and send her right into a jumbotron.
"And the Yankees win the pennant!"
"I hate admit it," Solar said as she gets up. "I can't beat them if they're working together, time to bail!"
Solar did magic blast on the ground blinding the six and escape through the sewers.
"Uh, where she'd go?" Surge asked.
"There. in the sewers," Discharge said then Surge, Desert Doom, and Mistress Mayhem made it in,
"Uh, guys, I don't I can fit, and I don't do good in tunnels," Iron Bull said.
"You and Raptor keep the police occupied, we handle the wet work," She replied.
"And how are we supposed to spot her?" Discharge asked.
"With this!" Surge said then fire bolt down the tunnel.
"Surge, I'm pleased you've learned to conduct your power underwater but down here you present a danger to the group. Head back up."
"But the sun freak..."
"Dylan."
"Whatever you say, doc," Surge put on her mask then headed back.
"Hey, I'm turning to mudman here. Can I go too?" Desert Doom asked.
"Amateur," Discharge groaned.
"Who you calling an amateur?"
None of them realized that Solar was in invisible.
Then at Canterlot Weekly bulidng...
"The whole thing is Solar's fault! Canterlot never saw supervillains till the superhero showed up. Where's Shimmer?!" Platium Writer asked.
"Got an update from Canterlot Square," Thunder Prism said. "Plenety of property damage. No serouis injures. But one girl just collapsed."
"Well, give me a name, Prism. The people want to know who to pity."
"Twilight Sparkle."
"Twilight's my classmate, I have to call her."
"No, Gabby, I'll call her myself.
Solar reached her apartment then receveied a voicemail from her boss.
Great, Platium Writer is probably calling to yell at me for not getting pics of those bozos beating me up. That we don't need.
Sunset headed her bed while the ooze went underneath.
"Hopefully, Twilight went back home. That's the last thing we need. I wish I could wake up tomorrow with Mayhem and her goons behind bars."
Later the criminals were at a fancy restaurant that they broke into and had dinner.
"A toast to Solar's ignominious defeat," Raptor said as he hold up a glass.
"Defeat?" Discharge asked. "Seems a job ain't done till it's done."
"I was topside, you yahoos, lost the creep. Next I'll smash her myself!" Iron Bull exclaimed.
"What's with you and revenge? I all want is a big score!" Desert Doom said.
"This obsession with any of them is a mere annoyance. It's Merecer who truly earned my wrath."
"I'm calling TC see if he'll give okay to ditch you sorry..."
"What are doing!?" Surge stopped all of them. "I need a cure but the only way to get what we want is to trust the doc."
"Thank you, Surge, yes gentlemen and lady we are all angry but she will be crushed."
"How? She's long gone!"
"We simply force a situation where she has to play the hero. She'll come. She can't help herself. Check, please."
"It's on house," The waiter said.
"How kind of you. And wise."
Solar headed out where she heard the the escape criminals are holding hostages at the Horseshoe in Canterlot City. Little did know they expected her to come.
Raptor came down and punched her.
"She's back!"
Solar landed around a pile of sand then Desert Doom emerged from it then toss her in the air, to get shock by Surge, then punched by Iron Bull then was held by Mayhem.
"Well, you call it, doc," Discharge exclaimed seeing her. "Guess some folk is are dumb to live."
...
"Iron Bull, you won the coin toss. Will you crush her skull or implare her threat on your horn?"
"Impale. Impale sounds good," Iron Bull said while Solar glared at him.
What's the matter, to scare to crack a joke!"
Just as Iron Bull charged at her, Solar created two tenacltes that slashed at his eyes, then did the same to Mistress Mayhem.
"I got it!" Surge fires a thunderbolt but sends her and Solar to the park.
...
"Sentry, Fenton, secure the hostages in the bank," Shinning Armor said. "Colt, with me."
As the police headed into the park, Mayhem fired a semism at Solar only to dodge, and avoid Discharge's shockwave, but that sended her underground, but not before she dragged the hairy villain with her magic, that caused Desert Doom to punch her and lost his solid form.
"I'm gonna fry for that, freak!" Surge said as he and Discharge fired their blast at her.
Solar did two magic blasts that blinded them, allowing her to use her magic and slammed both their face on the beam. Desert Doom punched her sending her back and quickly regaining her footing. Queen Toxic created a giant axe and charge forward then Raptor swooped down and charge at her as well. Solat pulled herself out of danger causing the two villains to crash into each other. Just Desert Doom gathered himself, Iron Bull hold of her and threw her only for her come right at Iron Bull knocking him off balance.
Then Discharge and Surge got back up fired at her, forcing her to dodge, just as they were doing that, Solar threw sticky orbs at them, catching them off guard, which allowed her Solar to fire a flame blast at them casung them to fall. Beatdown turned around and look at her.
"Come and get it, horn head."
"You ask for it!"
Iron Bull shouted then charged right at her making her dodge , then Solar blinded his face. Blowtorch and Plasma fired at them then Solar got behind Iron Bull and the attacks hit him instead.
"Oh, man!"
"Damn it! Keep shooting!"
Both continue to fire at her, with Solar holding Iron Bull.
"Move in, kid, i got you covered," Discharge told her to move forward allowing him to fire at her blindside but she thew Iron Bull on him.
"Crap!" He exclaimed as Iron Bull was ontop of him. "Get him off!"
Discharge fire another shockwave sending Solar to the ground of the park. Then the rest of them grouped back.
"What the heck happened to Bit?" Desert Doom asked.
"Desert Doom, help Surge."
"Get him off!" Surge said then nearing shock Desert Doom.
"I'm trying to! Turn down the juice!"
"Wait! She's trying to escape again," Raptor as Solar heaed for a manhole forcing him stop her from running.
"Raptor, move! I don't take out another of our own!" Discharge exclaimed.
Raptormove away, which gave her a clear shot, and fire a shockwave making her dodge it and got on Raptor's back. Then she pulled the headgear off Raptor's head forcing her to the ground.
"Now I got you!" Discharge charged her gauntlet only for her fire a flame orb at one of her gauntlets shorting it out. "What the boot hill!?"
Desert Doom came right at her, but Solar dodged just Discharge fired another shockwave only at Desert Doom which made a hole, then Solar used her magic and thrust her gauntlet at him losing his solid form then kick Discharge and grabbed one of them to keep Desert Doom at bay.
"Dodge this!" Discharge came right at her with a punch that cause an explosion and send him back.
"I knew you were finally getting serouis when stop cracking your jokes," Mistress Mayhem tied her up. "Just as I knew you spend your stamina fighting my allies. Leaving me to deliver the coup de grace, Now I do believe we promise Iron Bull an implement."
"Get him off!" Surge created an electric barrier that shocked her causing her to lose her grip on Solar.
"Apologies, Iron Bull. Were doing this my way!" Mistres Mayhem said to him then turn around to see Solar's suit had repair it.
"Your new suit inteerts, me, Miss Solar, I going to enjoy peeling it away for further study."
Her hair came right her then one of them grabbed at the leg and swinged her around but Solar grabbed the pole twirled around and kick her right at the face sending right into a wall, then Solar held her.
"The next time you see me, you're dead," Solar said then drop her nad heaed out.
"Well, it's like this was handle pretty well," Shinning said as the cops rounded them up.
The next day....
"Did I overslept again?" Sunset said then looked at her clock showing 9:00 am. "I've been sleep for nine hours. So why I am still exhausted?"
She looked herself in the mirror and saw scar on left arm.
"I don't remember taking this much pushiment at Canterlot Sqaure. Where did that one come from?" Sunset said then went outside and grab the newspaper.
"Sunny stops Deadly Six. Photos by Sunset Shimmer? I don't remember any of this. It's like I slept through the whole fight. This wasn't me wearing the suit. This was the suit wearing my body. This alien... It's some kind of symbiote.
Still, what do we care? The Six were put down hard. And Shimmer gets paid for the photos. What else matters?
"Sunset!" She turned around and saw Fluttershy running toward her.
"Flluttershy, is everything okay?"
"No, it with Twilgiht, Flurry Heart told me she had heart attack last night. She's hospital and she's doing okay."
Sunset Shimmer: Hero of Canterlot City
A fine day in the city as Solar looked through a hospital window to see Twilight sleeping.
"I can't believe that Twilight got a heart attack all because of me, but thankfully she's doing okay," Solar said. "I wish could've been there sooner, hope you do better in time."
...
Later at Canterlot High, Sunset was sitting alone in the courtroom, then Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Sprint Streak.
"Sunset, we heard what happened, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I was worried when you didn't pick up?"
"Wait all of you knew?" Sunset asked.
"Yeah, I kinda spill the beans, my bad," Sprint Streak admitted. "We just want to help."
"Help? Help? That's a good one. How exactly do you plan on helping?"
"We're just trying to be your friends," Rainbow implied.
"Well, unless you have an idea other than Pinkie throwing a party, don't bother," Sunset snapped at them then storm off while Aria Blaze watched.
"We don't need friends, we need money, and more than Platinum's would ever fork over but he's not the only game in town," Solar headed to Canterlot Tower.
Once inside she quickly subdued of the bodyguards that grab Gravestone's attention.
"Are you quite through?"
"Sure, Graves. I've proven my point."
"Which is?"
"That I can still take anything you can dish. Which leaves only one question. That job offer still on the table?"
"I still think you'd make an invaluable employee, Solar. But you'll forgive me if I'm suspicious of your sudden change of heart. You need to prove you're prepared to behave. Fight no crime for one week. Don't care if a supervillain endangers public safety, but no ordinary crime. Deal?"
"Deal."
"Great just great, with the ooze gone, I have to drop out of Everton," Barton said then saw Sunset walking. "Hey, Sunset! You cost me my job!"
"Shut it!" Sunset snapped at him and then put him through a wall. "We are tired of your whining. Shove off, Barton, permanently."
After Barton left, Sunset walked along the city then her phone buzzed showing Applejack's number.
"Applejack. What does she want with us now? Well forget it, she and Barton can join the Sunset's such a disappointment dance together."
"They sell tickets to that? Or anyone who thinks you're a jerk attend?" Aria asked.
"Don't push me, Aria, I'm not in the mood."
"Yeah, Twiliy got sick. Heck, even Duke feels bad for you. But not me, if you hang up on the farmer that proves you are still an egghead like Sparkle. A girl who can't even see when her own friends are trying to help."
...
"Okay. if Aria's making sense something's off. Why did I blow off my friends? Rainbow, AJ, Fluttershy. I would never do that. And what about the battle with Savage Six? The one we slept through? Or the fact we asked Gravestone for a job? Or the fact we keep thinking 'we' instead of 'I'? It's the symbiote. It's changing me. It's taking over my life. I have to get it off!"
Solar headed to Canterlot Clock Tower and once inside she started to pull it off.
Stop, Sunset. Come on. You're overreacting. The suit, the Symbiote, it's made life better. And there's no else we need. Not Rarity, Not Fluttershy...
"Not even, Twilight? Those weren't my thoughts!"
Wait! We need each other. Stop!
"No, move the ooze!" Then Solar back into the bell causing the ooze to react violently. "The bell! The vibrations! You don't like them!"
Solar punched repeatedly then easily took it off.
No, we do not like the vibrations. They're unpleasant. But not enough to destroy our bond.
"Well, see about that," Then Sunset was glued to the wall.
In anger, you sought to hurt us. Instead, you made us stronger, We shall demonstrate.
The symbiote from a cocoon around her then it hardens.
Where am I? What's going on?
Where are we? We are inside your mind. A string of memories that led you to become who you are.
In a memory bubble. Sunset saw their class trip to Stables' laboratory where the Stables were showing them multiple power-enhanced experiments where a red geode had somehow jumped into Sunset's pocket.
It's like deja vu all over again. I got to stop it.
How can stop when it all already happened?
In another memory bubble, Sunset saw her past self sleeping in her apartment unaware that the red geode was starting to glowing making Sunset's body different, faster, stronger, and more alarmed than ever.
I'll admit it was awesome that day, I imagine what are the possibilities.
Let's find out shall, we?
A third memory bubble showed Sunset that her past self made a costume due to the lessons of fashion design from Rarity and entered into a wrestling match as Solar Eclipse with the grand prize of winning a thousand bucks. Then her alter-ego won the match but certain obstacles got in the way.
And that's when I realize, that the wrestling gig was a bust and at that moment I heard something horrible happened. Pinkie's uncle was shot, during a robbery. And made me intervene.
A fourth bubble showed her that Solar Eclipse had cornered the man who killed her best friend's uncle and then got a good look at him. Solar realized the burglar was the same person from the arena the one that she let go.
Why would you blame yourself? We didn't hurt Pinkie's uncle. The world took him away from her and us. The world takes everything we love. There's no one you can trust, Sunset Shimmer. No one except us. Join us. Make our bond permanent. Together nothing can stop us, and everything we ever wanted will be ours.
The demon became her demon self and then tried to merge herself with Sunset before it came in contact, a purple hand came in and stop it.
"Not so fast," Sunset looked up and saw Princess Twilight in her human form.
"Princess Twilight?"
We don't need you anymore, princess.
"Too bad. I'm sticking around," Twilight and Sunset walked away.
Wait, stop.
...
"Sunset... are you feeling okay?"
Sunset blinked a couple of times, slowly nodding her head. "Twilight can you be honest with me?" she asked quietly.
"Sure."
"If you could do something, and do it better than anyone else, then it wouldn't be wrong to cash in your talents. right?"
"Well, that would depend on what talents we're talking about. But, I went through the exact same thing as you when I came to be a princess. The point is just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. In the words of Ben Parker With great power comes great responsibility.
Pretty words. But what good did they do?
"Just watch and see," Princess Twilight said as she used her magic which a fifth bubble showed Solar recognized the robber from before and hanged him over a window.
This proves your point?
Wait. Watch her take her vengeance.
"Part of me wants me to drop you, but I'll learn that revenge isn't the answer because with great power comes great responsibility," Solar said as she gave him to the police.
"And that was just the beginning, from stopping the Dazzlings, saving human counterpart from Equestria Magic, destroying the Memory Stone, and saving people..."
But they ain't denying it, the great work we've done. But how were we repaid? No money, no real friends. None, that is, save us.
"I beg to differ," Twilight counted reminding her of all the friends she made.
"She's right. I'm alone in this," Sunset sternly said. "And I am not giving who I am to become one with the ooze!"
You cannot reject what you already are.
"Let him have it," Twilight said then disappeared.
Both Sunset and Symotie Sunset collided with each other Sunset grabbed the demon by the waist and tossed it into a wall.
"There's more where that came from, last chance to vacate."
Vacate? Where do you think we are?
Demon Sunset submerge her surroundings then large tentacles came out and grab both Sunset's arms and legs.
We have taken root in Sunset Shimmer, mind, body, and soul. Why bother struggling? There's no place you can hide.
"Why would I need to hide," Sunset's body glowed in Equestrian Magic breaking free of Symbiote's hold. "I'm stronger than you think."
"Now mud stain, shall we dance?"
Sunset quickly did two magic blasts and took down most of the tentacles then Demon Sunset rose up and tried to punch her but missed, then Sunset blinded her face then got close and punch her then followed it up with a kick then did blasted with a monster flame blast, to wit caused the cocoon the crack then Sunset broke free.
Don't think this is over, you will be ours!
"Don't think so, Symbiote. I know what you are now, and what you need," Sunset said then punched the bell making it wince in agony allowing her to rip it off. "You feed off negative emotions, so now I'm starving you out."
Stop! Don't do this! We only want to help you, and be with you!
"Sorry, Symbie. I know this must hurt. But we're just no good together, considered yourself dumped."
Later Solar made it to the Stables lab and put the ooze in the containment cell turning the cooling function and making it frozen.
"Sorry, if you lost your job, Barton, because of me, but it's too dangerous to study," Solar said then left unknowing that Barton watch the whole thing.
"Do you know what you've done? You destroyed my last chance!" Barton shouted. "You suppose to be a hero, but she's bad as Sunset. What's worst is that people are blind to what they truly are..."
Then suddenly the ooze broke out and called to him.
"You're alive and you're calling to me," Barton was shocked then opened it allowing the ooze fully wrap him.
Barton, we sense your fury, your hatred. And its taste is sweet. Do you hate the Solar? Do you hate Shimmer?
"Of course I hate them."
Or so you thought, well let's shed some light, some light, Solar Eclipse, and Sunset Shimmer more alike than you think, in fact, they're the same person.
"Same person? That would mean that Sunset is Solar Eclipse! Why didn't see it before? I don't have two enemies. I have one."
We have one enemy. The Eclipse, Shimmer, sought to destroy us too. Bond with us, Barton, mind, body, and soul.
"Yes."
Accpet the gift the Shimmer rejected.
"Yes!"
And together we will have our desire!
"Yes!" The Symbiote merged with Barton having the red and black outlook but with armor having the eclipsed sun. "And together we will have our revenge!"
Sunset Shimmer: Hero of Canterlot City
Chapter 1-Surival of the Fittest
It was a crisp and cool summer night in the city of Canterlot as a lone figure ran across a rooftop, hoping to remain unseen. She wore a red visor, with a red and orange suit with shimmering sun marks along with servals red spikes.
"Tell me there is something better, go ahead and try, 'How I Spent My Summer Vacation by Sunset Shimmer' I can sum up with one word I'm the Solar Eclipse!" Sunset Shimmer announces proudly. "It's the last night before school starts and I came really use some action."
The bank alarm sounded in the shine of the moon. Two masked men ran out the back door of the bank and into a dark alley. They chuckled while they carried the heavy sacks of money on their backs. As soon as they rested, they opened their bags and stared in awe at the green inside.
"Did I tell ya?" High Rise asked his partner. "One getaway jump from the next building and were home free and a million bucks richer."
"This million buck haul, after the boss takes his cut," Bit replied.
"Ah, shut up and jump."
Bit went first and was caught by a glow of red magic.
"Oh crud, not again!"
"Yep, again," Solar Eclipse exclaimed. "What is it High Rise, the third time month alone."
"Wait till I get hands, you skinny-little creep!" Bit shouted then Solar Eclipse slammed him to the wall and engaged against High Rise.
"So, High Rise, now tell me, was my new signal a little too much it's the first night trying it out, and not sure it screams friendly neighborhood.
Solar Eclipse dodged High Rise's incoming punch and used a levitation spell on the sack of stolen jewels and bashed it on the head.
"Be completely honest. With you having got trashed by me, I really valued your opinion."
At an unknown location, the action was being broadcast live.
"Is this live feed?" The figure asked then his flunkie nodded. "Then I have seen enough summon The Enforcers."
"Already on their way."
Just hours into the morning at MercerCorp
"I blame you for this!" Wallace Stout shouted at Sassy Saddles. "You told me to bring my magnetic transport here!'
"I know."
"You were supposed to set the meeting with Darrell Mercer."
"I had intentions to do so."
"He studied them and rejected every last one of them then announces MercerCorp tech-flight four months later?"
"I'm sorry for the development-"
"Don't you dare apologize, Ms. Saddles, MercerCorp has nothing to apologize for," Darell Mercer said.
"What, you stole my invention!"
"Stole, you hadn't one success under your name, and news flash, all work under my employment belongs to MercerCorp, it's in the fine print. If you didn't do anything as a young man, who going to believe that you're the genius behind tech-flight being old? Boys showed Mr. Stout the exit."
"Good news, I don't blame you anymore."
Also outside the school, aside from the morning peak students were having fun chilling, after the summer break. One of those people was a young woman named Applejack, a farmer at Sweet Apple Acres, she hadn't changed much in appearance since graduation and still wore her classic brown hat but she clearly seemed much wiser, being a young adult and all. At the moment she was currently scanning the crowd looking for her friends.
"Hey, AJ!" Someone called out.
The cowgirl turned around and smiled when she saw her Athletic friend known as Rainbow Dash walking over. "Well, I'll be, Rainbow Dash, ain't you a sight for sore eyes," she remarked as she and Rainbow embraced.
"Man, it's good to see you again." Rainbow expressed. "How's the farm?"
"Doing great," Applejack said.
"And what about your sister?" Rainbow inquired. "Staying out of trouble?"
"What do you think?" Applejack questioned with a raised brow.
Rainbow chuckled. "Yeah, I guess not," she said, amused.
"So, Rainbow, what have you been up to?" Applejack asked.
"Well, I've been trying to set up a soccer academy, you know give kids a fun thing to do after school," Rainbow said.
"Cool. That sounds like fun." Applejack
"Yeah… haven't a bit of trouble raising the money though." Rainbow shrugged.
"Just keep it up RD, you'll get there." Applejack assured her.
"Thanks," Rainbow said, sharing a smile with her
"APPLEJACK! DASHIE!" A loud voice yelled.
"Hey… that sounds like…" Rainbow began.
"Eeyup." Applejack confirmed before a certain pink-haired girl popped up near them and embraced them in a bone-crushing hug before lifting them...
"Ooh! It's so good to see you guys again!" she squealed.
"It's good to see you too Pink…" Applejack said, feeling the tightness of the hug.
"Yeah, really good…" Rainbow agreed before she finally released her and Applejack. They both rubbed their backs. "You know… I never thought I'd miss your hugs Pinkie."
Pinkie just smiled, happy to hear her friends' words.
"So Pink, what's new?" Applejack inquired.
"Ooh! I've been doing birthday parties for kids all over the place! One time, I even dressed up as a Pony, that looked like me!" Pinkie beamed.
"That… is creepy," Rainbow remarked, slowly. Applejack nodded in agreement while Pinkie smiled.
"Yoo-hoo! Girls!" Somebody said, in a sing-song voice nearby.
They all turned and saw their beautiful and fashionably forward friend Rarity walking over to them, causing every male head in the room to turn to her, even the ones who already had girlfriends causing them to get smacked.
"Hey, Rarity!" Pinkie Pie waved.
"Rarity! I didn't know you were gonna be back for our junior year." Applejack remarked.
"Well, the schedule at my new fashion job is hectic, but I wouldn't miss this for the world." Rarity said.
"Aw! That's so sweet!" Pinkie Pie gushed.
"You were expecting something else perhaps?" Rarity inquired, smiling.
"Not really, though I am expecting to get those new soccer uniforms I ordered." Rainbow pointed out, smiling. "And they better not be sparkly, ok?"
"You'll have them soon enough, I promise." Rarity assured her.
"So Rarity, how's the job?" Applejack inquired.
"Oh, it's exactly like saving the world… just replaced The Dazzling's with a pompous boss named Prim Hemline and a highly annoying fellow employee named Suri Polomare." Rarity stated, slightly agitated. "But forget them, I'm just glad to finally be back at Canterlot High after all this time!"
"Me too!" Pinkie Pie nodded. "But aren't we missing some of us?"
They all looked around and then someone softly cleared their voice to get their attention. They all turned and saw their shy friend, Fluttershy, standing right behind them.
"Uh… hi everybody…" The shy girl known as Fluttershy said.
"Fluttershy!" Pinkie cried, happily before she rushed over and gave her a bear hug and a lift into the air, also. "I can't believe it's you!"
"Uh… hi Pinkie…" Fluttershy said. "Could you… put me down now?"
"Ok!" Pinkie said before placing her back down. She smiled at her brightly while the others approached.
"It's good to see you again, Fluttershy." Applejack smiled.
"Yeah, how you've been?" Rainbow Dash asked, curiously.
"Oh… ok," Fluttershy said, shyly glancing at the floor.
"Ok? Come on, ya gotta tell us more than that," Rainbow told her.
"Yeah, come on girl, give us the deets!" Pinkie added, excited.
"But I don't have any deets, I'm deetless…" Fluttershy said, a bit intimidated by Pinkie's enthusiasm.
"Pinkie Pie, calm down, let Fluttershy calmly tell us what she's been doing all year." Rarity said.
"Oh… just doing more volunteer work… I'm even thinking about going to college to become a veterinarian like I originally planned." Fluttershy replied.
"A vet? Oh, wonderful darling! That's the perfect job for you, just like Sunset Shimmer said it would be!" Rarity told her.
"Yeah, it's practically your destiny or something." Applejack agreed, smiling.
"Thanks, girls." Fluttershy smiled, thankfully.
"Ok, let's see… there's Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Me, that leaves…" Pinkie began before someone suddenly spoke up nearby.
"Hey, guys."
They all turned and smiled when they saw her former enemy turned friend, Sunset Shimmer, who had now ceased wearing her leather jacket, approaching them with a smile.
"Sunset Shimmer, as I live and breathe." Applejack remarked, smiling. Sunset returned the smile as she and Applejack quickly embrace. "Good to see ya, sugarcube."
"Yeah, it's been a while." Rainbow agreed.
"How've you been?" Fluttershy inquired, shyly.
"Have you had fun?" Pinkie asked, interested.
"Yes, I had fun and it sure is good to be back together with you guys again after all this time." Sunset expressed.
"Likewise darling." Rarity agreed, smiling.
"So how have things been?" The former bully inquired.
"Oh, you know, same old." Applejack said. "I'm farming."
"I'm volunteering," Fluttershy added.
"I'm parting!" Pinkie chirped.
"I am designing the latest trend." Rarity said, proudly.
"And I'm starting my own soccer academy!" Rainbow boasted. "Well… trying to anyway. That reminds me a certain guy is trying to help me fund it that I need to talk with."
"Is it your boyfriend, Soarin?" Pinkie inquired.
"Pinkie!" Rainbow snapped, embarrassed. The girls all chuckled, amused.
"Well, I see you guys haven't changed." Sunset Shimmer remarked.
"Hey, why change perfection?" Rainbow pointed out, proudly.
"I have to agree with that, though with a different meaning of course." Rarity said.
"Yeah, we may have gotten older and wiser, but we're still the same and still friends." Applejack stated. The others nodded in agreement and smiled.
"Hey, do you think Twilight's gonna be here?" Sunset inquired.
"Doubt it, I hear she's in that fancy science scholarship trying to get her degree." Applejack said.
Then just as she said those words they noticed the Human Version of Twilight, who still wore her glasses, and had hair in a bun, she wore the same clothes as her pony self.
"Trying being the operative word, I'll tell you," she expressed. Everybody smiled when they saw her and Sunset quickly hugged her.
"Twilight!" she smiled.
"Hey, Sunset! Oh boy, I've missed you." Twilight said, happily. She turned to the others. "And you as well, girls."
"Aw, thanks! We missed you too!" Pinkie said, still as bubbly as ever.
"I see you've been keeping up your appearance after all this time, well-done darling." Rarity complimented.
"Thank you, Rarity." Twilight nodded. "Thought it looked nice, so why not wear it like the other me?"
"Good call. So how's getting your it's going?" Applejack asked, interested.
"Well, it's been hard but I've come up with a lot of good theories and I'm working on some pretty interesting stuff," Twilight said. "Don't worry, it's not techno sorcery, I promised I wouldn't make any more than a scanner and I haven't."
"Good, because you don't want to break a Pinkie Promise." Pinkie warned her.
"Really? Because I didn't get that after the hundreds of texts, the emails, and the hourly visits." Twilight remarked, deadpan. "Which, by the way, I did not appreciate the one when I was in the shower."
"You what!?" Rainbow asked Pinkie, shocked. The others looked at her, surprised also.
Pinkie smiled, sheepishly and chuckled. "Uh… Oopsie?"
"Yeah… wasn't exactly the highlight of my day…" Twilight said. She turned to Sunset. "And what about you, Sunset? What are you doing these days? Last I heard you were looking for part-time work."
"Yeah, it's been kinda hard trying to find one," Sunset confessed, depressed.
"Well, don't worry, I'm sure you'll find the right job," Twilight assured her.
"I hope so…" Sunset said, she paused for a bit then spoke in a more upbeat tone. "By the way, how are you and Flash doing Twilight?"
"Actually, we're doing fine," Twilight admitted. "Sure he's always on tour but we talk to each other every minute between when he's not practicing or playing in front of a huge crowd, so it's not so bad."
"But what if…" Pinkie began before Rainbow nudged her hard.
"What if he cheats on me while he's away? Don't worry, I know that hasn't and never will happen." Twilight stated.
"How did you…" Applejack began.
"I did my research on long-distance relationships and the pitfalls that come with it, but thanks to Applejack's advice and the books on lying I will always be able to determine whenever Flash is lying to me or not, which he isn't," Twilight explained. The girls looked stunned.
"Yep, you are Twilight Sparkle all right." Applejack remarked, impressed.
At nearby hangar.
"Come on in, gents the Kingpin wants a word. The Enforcers are here and encounter for."
"Thank you Tiger Claw, all right gentleman I'll get straight to the point for the last four months, a pest has plagued our operation, and at first I could hardly credit the reports."
"Thought the guys were trying to stiff us, I had to get rough to make sure there were sincere."
"Establishing patterns of the movement took all summer but last night we had live confirmation. The Solar Eclipse is real."
"And you want us to wrangle her up."
"No, Regina, I want you to smash her."
"Hours into the morning, Sunset, Twilight, and recently Sweetie Belle, were in science class, with Dr. Johnathn."
"Chapters one and two are due first thing tomorrow," The teacher said as the students left. "Ms. Shimmer, Ms. Sparkle? A moment with. I wondering if either of you remembers the field trip we took last year to the laboratory of Doctor. Stables?"
Sunset felt a little tense when he said, that was the moment that everything changed for her and her friends.
"Trust me, that is one field trip I'll never forget," Sunset replied.
"Me neither, the research was amazing," Twilight added.
"I'm glad you feel that way because he's offering two scholarships to promising high schoolers, I recommend my best students, you start this afternoon."
"Thanks for letting us crash at your place," Sunset thanked Travis. "We're not due at the lab for another hour."
"I'm surprised you're not working for the school newspaper, aren't you the best photographer."
"Let someone take pictures of Trixie and her performances or Team Rocket's classic screw-ups."
"All this stuff belongs to your dad, and he's a renowned scientist!" Twilight exclaimed as a mysterious figure came from the sky and grab Darelll right from his penthouse.
"Dad," Travis said in concern.
"What the heck that and what do we do now!?" Twilight exclaimed.
"No clue! Travis, call the cops! Go!" Sunset said to him. "Twilight go with if he asks where I'm at, tell him I'm chasing the creep by foot to keep track of his father, alright?!"
"Will, do! Please be careful!"
"I will," Sunset assured her Twilight left leaving the bacon hair girl all alone. "Alright, this is your first super-villain and saving your best friend's dad! So Focus!"
"Tell the truth, Mercer can your tech-flight can do this?!" The figure soared through the skies.
"Stout?"
"Not Stout, I'm Raptor!"
"Stout, what will this even accomplish?"
"A means to an end, Mercer something you know all about. You will announce to the world that Wallace Stout is the genius behind tech-flight, you will pay all that own! You will public apologize!"
"I never apologized, old man!"
"I may be old but not a patient one!"
Raptor drops him causing him to free fall. As Darrell fell, he was unaware of an arm wrapped around his back, pushing him back upwards. He opened his eyes, seeing purple and orange directly next to him.
"Wow, you guys play hot potato hardcore," Solar Eclipse exclaimed while her magic to hold him.
"What on earth!?" Raptor exclaimed as he followed. "These skies are mine!"
"Ever heard of sharing, didn't think so!"
"What are babbling about? Put me down!" Darrell barked.
"No offense you are the bossiest distress dude I've saved, also the ugliest and heaviest and the first."
"Who are you?" Darrell and Raptor asked.
"I'm Solar Eclipse!"
"Solar Eclipse, I thought you were a myth?"
"I need a press agent," as Solar Eclipse continues to dodge Raptor's pursuit.
"Can you put me down?" Darrell suggested. "He's catching up to us!" he grunted.
"I'll put you down as soon as possible!" she flew lower than usual, seeing the police station come to view. A police car was parked outside, with two officers sitting inside.
"Heads up!" Solar Eclipse drops him and then left.
"What's going on?" one of them asked.
"Explanation inside," Darrell said as they went inside.
...
"Looks beaks, I admire anyone who dresses like a favorite animal but still you can fly." Solar Eclipse said as he got in front of Raptor. "But I have to ask, what's your beef with him."
"It doesn't concern you!" Raptor shouted and went ahead.
"Beaks, don't fly away mad!"
"The name is Raptor!"
"That's great your's dad is okay as for me, I try to catch up on foot but it was useless, I'm running late, gotta go," Sunset cutoff her call with Travis and met up with Twilight. "Sorry about that."
"You really need to work on your timing."
"Barton, nice seeing you again," Sunset said to the former graduate.
"Likewise, Ms. Stables, Sunset Shimmer, and Twilight Sparkle are here."
"Great, Barton, great things about you."
Very much later.
"Well, at least something went right, now I need a photo of me in action, how hard can that be."
Meanwhile, Darrell's limousine was his penthouse.
"Are we clear?" Darrell asked.
"Mercer!" Raptor shouted.
"Go, go!" Darrell told the driver to speed up with Raptor following close.
"You won't escape me again!"
"My thoughts exactly," Solar Eclipse came right behind as a helicopter came right behind.
"Target sighted as last know location," Regina said. "Boys, let's us bring this sun down."
"Trick or treat!" Solar Eclipse kicked Raptor. "I mean you are wearing a costume around the time of Halloween."
"Or I'm not the one to talk."
Solar Eclipse grabbed Raptor's leg and hang on while The Eiltes'chopper closing.
"This has to be the strangest gig, the boss, ever gave us," Regina said. "We're flying with the freaks now guys, I have no idea what the big bird is all about, but I'm glad he's keeping our girl busy, firing net."
The chopper fried a net at Solar Eclipse trapping and dropping her to a nearby building.
"Slicker, Tauro, your up."
The other two members of the Elites drop and Slicker gives a quick kick to Solar's chest with Taro bearhugging her and Solar got catches a whisk of breath.
"Dude, if you needed a breath mint, you just ask."
Slicker draws his staff, just as Solar gave Tauro an aura punch, then fires spheres of magic at Slicker which dodges them all.
"Well, that's impressive." As Solar Eciplse back up a bit only for Regina to fried on the ground.
"Sorry, lass, the guys need cardio work, no need to tail."
"Seriously who are guys?"
Slicker came in and strike his staff at her, but Solar dodged it and used her magic to slam into a wall knocking him out.
"Love to stay a chat, but there's a dude in bird costume so need..."
Tauro grabbed hold of her and tightened his grip.
"Okay buddy, your strong but I bet you can't do this!"
Solar did a small flame burst through him and cause him to fall down.
"Didn't think so."
"Kid, you making the Enforcers look bad, I can't have that," Regina told her as she followed right behind her as they caught up with Raptor.
"You will apologize!" Raptor tore right through the limousine.
"I won't!" Darrell shot back then Solar jumped into the car.
"Man, this was talk about a sweet ride," Solar said the pushed Raptor out of there.
"Why do you defend that thief, Mercer!"
Raptor slice a piece off her suit.
"Uncool, do you have any idea, how much of these things cost to get stitch!?" As Regina fired bullets at her. "This is one night that been unexpectedly crazy but one thing for I can't sit by, let someone hurt the people I care about."
Then Solar got Raptor's back.
"Surf's up!"
"There, the car park, move it!" The car went into the garage missing Raptor's grasp.
"No, this is all your fault!"
Both Regina and Raptor came around and surrounded her.
"Two birds, one stone."
Regina fired blasts from her chopper, which she dodged and Raptor tried to punch her but his fist got caught in a window, then vanish right in front of Regina.
"Where did she get to now?" Regina asked as Raptor got free and saw Solar Eclipse was holding the landing deck.
"Did you really think you can hide from me, there?"
Solar got in his back and forced his right wing into the chopped forcing him to fall down.
"My wing, I can't steer!"
"Yeah, but your still airborne," Then she heard the humming. "Oh, Feathers, your back is humming."
She pulled out the source.
"You idiot, you doom us both!" As they fall.
"Dude, you haven't been paying attention," Solar Eclipse snapped her fingers and she and Raptor were on a nearby rooftop. "Now stay here, and think about what you have done."
Moments later at Sunset's house.
"So far, I was brought down three jerks, the fourth one could go anywhere, but who were they and what's there beef with me, but as Rainbow would say take the small victories, and with these photos, the money won't be a problem for now. Next thing, got to get some shut-eye." As Sunset got into her bed and fell

Chapter 2-A Surge of Power
Dark, starry skies are looming over the city of Canterlot. The night is alive: couples are having fancy dinner dates, music is blaring loudly from the nightclubs, and in the park, The Great and Powerful Trixie is putting on a magnificent magic show.
And in a dark, secluded street several blocks away, a jewelry store is being robbed.
Two people dress in black are behind the register, attempting to crack open a safe and pillage the riches inside. Just outside the store, two gunmen are keeping watch.
"Al...most... there..." As he tried a picked the lock with two needles.
"Can ya hurry it up, Quick Change?" The other one said.
"Shut up, you know these things take time!" Quick quietly snapped back. "Unless you'd like to try it?" He fiddled around with the lockpicks a bit more, until...
*click! *
"Bingo." With a satisfied smirk, Quick Change grabbed the handle and pulled. The door swung open, revealing a large sack filled to the brim with glimmering gemstones. Quick chuckled, his smile growing ever wider. "We hit the jackpot, baby!"
He didn't notice the dark shadow or the two suddenly-unconscious lookouts behind him.
"Yeah yeah, we're rich, I get it, can we go now?"
"You tryin' to ruin the moment or something?"
"No! It's just... you know that costumed hero around at night beating up guys like us?"
"What, that Solar Eclipse or whatever she's called? Pfft, just some urban legend."
"But what if she's real? I'd prefer not to go hand to hand with her!"
"Come on, we could take her on no problem."
"You sure about that?" a third voice asked.
"Yeah, I'm VERY sure ab-" Quick froze. Oh horseapples. Somebody was behind them. Both turned around, hoping it wasn't who they thought it was. Quick's eyes widened, and the crook's face went pale.
Standing in front was a lady that was in her teen years costumed in a red and orange suit with shimmering sun marks with red crystal spikes and a red mask. Her name was Sunset Shimmer but to the criminals, she's Solar Eclipse.
"Hello boys," She said with a cool remark.
Quick Change was snapped out of his trance. "Wha- how-?!" he spat out, quickly glancing at the door and spotting his two unconscious guards.
Solar Eclipse followed his gaze. "Oh, that. Now unless you want to wind up like those two, I suggest surrendering right now."
Both stood up, and while one of them cracked his knuckles, Quick Charge grabs his bat. "Get real!" he shouted.
"Want to play hardball, huh?" As Solar got into a fighting stance. "Bring it."
The man charged at her preparing to strike. The masked hero simply sidestepped and drove her foot into his side, causing him to spin and crash into the wall.
Quick Change approached slowly, taking a few practice swings with his bat. He launched an attack at Solar Eclipse, who ducked the swing. She nimbly dodged and sidestepped the ones that followed, much to his irritation. Until he landed a hit on her head.
"Good job, you managed to hit on me," She remarked as her hands glowed.
"Is that-" Quick barely had time to shout before Solar Eclipse magically yanked the bat out of his grasp and slammed it against his legs. Shouting in pain, he collapsed, grabbing his broken legs with his forearms.
Behind her, the man had recovered and was running towards Solar Eclipse, hoping he could punch her face in. She spun around and blocked the attack. He let loose with a couple more swings that were either blocked or dodged, before receiving a fist to the stomach. She punched around and delivered a solid kick with both her legs, sending the attacker headfirst into a display case where he lost consciousness.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Quick Change desperately trying to crawl away. The man gasped loudly when he saw the masked hero glaring at him, and started frantically crawling his way to the door. She snap her fingers, and she vanished.
Quick Change looked ahead and saw Solar Eclipse standing over him. His eyes widened and he started panicking. Using her magic, the heroine lifted the man upside-down into the air, dangling him.
"And just where do you think you're going?" she asked mockingly.
"Why you little-! " Quick pulled out a gun and tried to shoot her but before he could, Solar knocked it out with his hands.
"Nice try, buddy."
"I... I ain't scared of ya!" he snapped back.
"Sure, that must be why you're sweating bullets right now," She looks at his face.
Quick Change gulped. "J-just let me go... lemme go please!" he begged.
Solar gave it some thought then grinned a bit. "Hmm... how about this: I knock you out, and when you wake up in a few minutes, you'll be shackled up by the cops, on way to jail?"
"WHA-?!" was all Quick Change could get out before Solar Eclipse struck him in the face and dropped him onto the sidewalk, where he lay motionless.
Moments later, the police arrived and put handcuffs on crooks, but seeing Solar Eclipse on a rooftop, there she gave them a quick salute and then ran.
"Thanks for the help, Solar."
Later at a nearby house, Solar Eclipse enters through the window, once she enters, she immediately drops her mask revealing her gold skin, aquamarine eyes, and streaks of red and yellow hair.
“Not bad, Sunset, three muggers, an assault, and a bank robbery. But's it getting late I should turn because of my big night ahead at Stables Lab.” Sunset said to herself as she turned into her sleep attire and went to sleep.
"In nature, everything is connected," Stables said while Twilight, Barton, and Sunset look like a pool of swimming electric eels. "As scientists, we must explore and expand those connections, to benefit society."
"We're experimenting, with genetically altered electric eels," Barton explained and both girls smiled as Stables opened the tank.
"Think of the possibilities, if we could harness their bio-electricity. We could generate an alternative source of energy, a clean source of power."
"Sounds promising but you might want to clean the tank," Sunset said while tapping on it.
"Don't worry, the fluid, or I call it sludge, increases the bio-electric signature."
"Which is why we had to upgrade to bio-electric filters."
"We?"
"My mistake, we forcing Dylan here to upgrade." Stables' phone buzzed. "Oh, darn would look at that, I guess we have to wait until tomorrow. My wife needs me to pick up groceries."
"Of course, best seeing your doc," Sunset and Twilight their goodbye.
The next morning, Solar Eclipse was flying through the city and reached the school until she heard a bank alarm go off.
"For once, I like to be on time for school," She exclaimed.
A few minutes later
"Sheesh, what happen to you," Aria Blaze asked while looking at an exhausted Sunset.
"Well, my alarm went off and I overslept and I had to run the entire way over here," Sunset exclaimed.
"Alright, class settle down, I know most of you are eager for you to get your test back," Johnathan said as the students groan.
"Sweet, C+!" Rainbow said as she got hers.
"Man, not another D-, my parents are going to kill me," Dan said.
"Nice job Ms. Shimmer," Sunset received an A+ plus which ticked Trixie a bit when she got a B and picked the closet object and prepare to throw it.
In a quick flash, Sunset's mind showed that Trixie was about to throw something behind her.
"Whoops!" She accidentally drops her paper and then ducks as Trixie threw it only for the teacher to get hit.
"Miss Lulamoon!"
"Nice going, Trix!" Sunset smirked on the inside.
"How is he?" Barton asked Stables as they took Dylan to the hospital last night.
"See for yourself," Stables said as they went inside.
"Hey, Barton," Dylan said.
"Dylan's body is constantly a stream of bio-electricity. The insulation suit will contain it to protect himself and everyone else. But not to worry, we will an on a cure for you."
"Mr. Strangle a moment please," Dr. Jonhtan asked for him as everyone left. " Dan, If you want to raise that grade up, you need a tutor. I recommend Sunset for the job."
"Study, with her, come on, what about Twilight or any other person?"
"Please try to understand, I doing this in your best interest for you."
...
Later at Sugarcube Corner.
"You got to be a tutor with Dan? Why didn't he pick me? I get straight A's !" Twilight exclaimed.
"No offense, Twilight, but when you explain something you go into heavy detail and make people go 'what the buck!'" Rainbow said as the others agreed with him.
"Debatable."
Then Dylan who wearing his suit walked in.
"Yeah, but he's call, not mine, and don't think it's working he is completely ignoring me," Sunset explained.
"Of course, he would the dude as attention spam of squirrel, and science is not his strong subject."
Then suddenly the lights went out and Dylan ran away from the shop.
"Thug alert, okay, Sunset, make it look good."
"Well, it's been fun, but I really got to turn in for the night, and as for Dan, the tutor is for him, not me, if he asked what happened, I went home."
Moments later, Sunset pulled her costume from under her clothes and became her alter-ego.
Meanwhile, Dylan keeps pushing people out of the way and enters a dark alleyway unaware that Solar Eclipse was right behind.
"Hey, buddy, what with lights going out and you running away, is everything okay?" She asked him.
"It doesn't concern you! Now leave me alone!" Dylan created an electric blast and destroy an electronic store.
"Okay, Surge, no need to rain down lighting!"
Then Dylan kept firing at her as her phone she duck behind a poster.
"First Raptor, and now this! Great going Sunset, Self doubt for another time!" As Solar Eclipse glowed her hands. "Alright Surge, I'm ready to do this... he's gone."
The next morning.
"Sunset, there you are," Twilight found at her locker. "I just to Barton, there was an incident at the lab."
...
Dylan's life is trash, not only I didn't recognize him, I attacked him. I tried to help but clearly, I need to do more.
"Oh, Sunset," Dan said looking at her.
"Hey, Dan, look, I felt bad for ditching you earlier. So, if you still want help we can meet up at the Stables Lab, it's up to you."
Later that night at Stables Lab
"Have you tried siphoning the electric energy off of him?" Twilight suggested.
"No, won't work," Stables replied. "Eeels evolve to exist in aquatic enivomermet, Dylan didn't."
"And with electricity inside of him wham! You don't want him around water," Barton said then the door opened showing Dan.
"Dylan, we need you to come back to the hospital," Dr. Ridley said as he was accompanied by two cops.
"I'm done with hospitals, I just want to go home," Dylan shot back.
"Listen, Dylan after last night's little blow-up, it's either a hospital bed or a jail cell. Your choice."
"Here's my answer!" Dylan formed ball lighting and destroy the car.
"Dylan, stop we just want to help you."
"You can't help me, but I know who can."
"Maybe this isn't a good idea," Sunset talked to Dr. Stables.
"No go one, I need to check something," He said then went to his office.
"So, Barton, how it's been?" Dan asked.
"Been great, since I pretty much hang the cleats and now became a full-time nerd," Barton said.
"We all nerds here, and you can be one too," Sunset while holding a hook.
"Wonderful."
"I'm serious, you're smart, you just don't apply yourself. You just look at it a new way," She explained as she grabbed an electric eel. "In nature, everything is connected, as scientists, we must explore and expand those connections, to benefit society."
"Your lucky to have Sunset as your tutor," Barton said. "She knows her stuff, heck, maybe Nobel Prize."
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves," Twilight lightly punches him then the lights flicker then the door got blasted.
"Stables!" Dylan entered furiously then turned to Sunset and the others. "Where is he? You really don't want me waiting, kids. Where is he!?"
"Dylan, I'm right here, try to stay calm," Stables came in.
"Calm?! We're way past the point of staying calm. I can't take it anymore. You casued this, you cured it."
"I promise, I will, I just need time..."
"I don't have time! Cure me now!" His hands charged with electric energy. "Before I get really angry."
"I know you can do it," Dylan threatens him. "All you need is proper motivation."
"I distract him, you three go out the back way," Barton then ran toward him.
"Barton, don't."
Dylan saw him and then zapped him to the ground then Sunset, Twilight, and Dan went out the back way.
"Calling the police," Twilight grab her cell phone and dialed 911.
"Wait a minute, where's Sunset?" Dan asked.
...
"Dylan, please don't hurt him. We'll find a cure, we just need time."
"Liar!" He smashed the table.
"Guys, I know it's not a cure, but about some chill pills," Solar Eclipse said.
"You!" Dylan threw a lightning bolt at her but missed.
"Yeah, it's me, look I messed up really bad, and want to help," She held her hand out.
"You really want to help?" He asked rhetoricity then zaps her. "None of you get it, without a cure, I'm not Dylan, I'm... What did you call me?"
"Lighting Head?"
"Not that, Surge, yeah, I'm Surge!" He unleashed streams of electricity.
"Alright, Surge," Solar glowed her hands. "You want to vent, then vent!"
She hurls a giant rock at him only for him to create a barrier then Surge fire bolt after bolt at Solar but she dodged them all before a bolt strikes her from behind. Then Surge saw Stables and his wife carrying Barton he turns to attack them but not before Solar threw a TV at him and then created a barrier at the door.
"He was only chance for a cure, and let him escape!" Surge screamed at charged right at her with an electric punch but Solar Ecplise dodged and kick him in the chest. "That's it. Now the gloves are off!"
Surge blasted her and send her outside of the lab, then he blasted her again only to be dodged by it.
"That prize money is good as mine," A kid said as Solar saved him from a bolt blast.
"Sorry, kid, the photo shoot's over!" She said then went back to face Surge who kept firing bolts at her.
"Okay, now it's on," She said then put on the rubbed gloves then grabbed him by the leg, and sent him into a wall. "What's wrong can't handle the rubber?"
Surge got up and blasted her straight into a cell tower.
"Me and my big mouth," She groaned a bit.
"Can't escape from their, hot head!" Surge said. "This is my playground."
He went to a cell tower and make the tower glow with electricity.
"Maybe climbing a mounting tower wasn't the brightest idea," Solar said as Surge fired another bolt. "But that is the least of my problems. Okay, focus, I need to short him out completely but how? "
When Solar saw the school's swimming pool then an idea popped into her head.
"How about the world's biggest dunk tank? " Solar smiled a bit then fire two small fire orbs at him and send him straight into the pool where he fizzled out then the police arrived. "That's my cue to leave."
The Next Day...
"Sunset Shimmer as lived and breath," Adagio Dazzle said with a playful tone. "How you been?"
"Not great, but at least Dan was able to learn something, then decided to hang around Duke and the crew."
"You'll be fine, Sunset. you can't control everything. but that doesn't mean you stop trying."
"Where have I heard that before?" She asked as they headed to their class. One day, you will be cured Surge, I promise on my life.
