Moments earlier

Scootaloo hopped behind the counter and aimed a bit at the sword. Kitty handed Rainbow a ring before asking one of the guys to come with her to the back room. Before leaving the room she gave Spike and the two stallions a glance before walking off. Spike pressed a switch on the side of the counter that started making a soft ticking sound.

Tick

As Phoenix moved into place, the others noticed his tail moving side to side in time with the ticks. The stallions pulled out some weapons as Spike grabbed some metal claws.

Tick

The GPF men look around the room as they slowly put the pieces together.

Tick

The large stallion slowly moved his hands close to two of the guys that stood in front of him as he slowly smiled.

Tick

The GPF captain who walked up to Phoenix slowly looked up as all hope of a premonition left as he realized what was going to happen.

Tick

Music started as Scootaloo made the shot, hitting the sword. Seconds later, the sword fell free and into Phoenix's waiting hand. He quickly brought the sword down on the guy cutting him in half before looking at the others.

As the song kicked into a quick beat, all hell broke loose. The stallion smashed the two men's heads together and started punching his way through the crowd as the GPF men charged at Phoenix and the others who returned the attack as they moved to the music.

One guy with an electric stick, hit Rainbow with full power. After a moment the two of them as well as several onlookers stood silently as she blinked and looked at the guy. His eyes went from the stick and followed the electric trail to her fist as it was swung at him. "Mommy."

Rainbow watched as he went flying then smirked. "Shocking." She laughed, and took the stick for herself.

Spike and the Guys did their best to keep the fight in one part of the room.

Scootaloo stayed behind the bar using a crossbow she kept there to snipe guys from cover. However her ear twitched and blood boiled at a comment one of the guys made. "Once we find that princess, we can have our fun with her before ditching her with the beasts. Heck-" was all he got out a Scootaloo sprang out and started punching the guy in the face.with brass knuckles. His comrades looked in shock and terror as she took him down with only a few blows.

"You are not going to touch my mother!" She shouted, punctuating each word with a punch. Her ear twitched and hand went up snatching a club from another guy. Which she quickly used to smash the guy's skull with, breaking his neck and the club. Taking the two half she went from one guy to the next stabbing them repeatedly till they stopped moving and going to the next.

As she felt a hand on her shoulder, she spun to stab them and was caught by Phoenix. After a moment of looking at him, she dropped the bloody weapons and fell into his arms crying as her body shook.

"It's ok." Phoenix said softly. "It's over." Picking her up in his arms he carried her to a chair that Spike pulled out for them and sat down holding her close. Taking a deep breath he looked to the others with rage and determination in his eyes. "Time to up the search."

The large stallion walked in and ripped the uniform off. "Man am I glad to be out of that." As he pulled off his t-shirt, a pair of large black wings shot open. "So… are you going to introduce me to these lovely amazones? Or should I just go check on the boys?"

"They're my mates." Phoenix warned.

"Got it." He sighed. "Still. Names? Or should I just call them Zena and Tepist?"

"That's Rainbow Dash. And this is Scootaloo." Phoenix replied as he kissed her forehead. "Kitty is her mother."

"Wait… back up… hold the phone… KITTY DELIVERED?!?!?!?! WHEN? WHERE? HOW?"

"Why do you care so much?" Rainbow spat. "Because of those thugs she had to… abandon her in Equestria." It felt wrong to talk about such things. But from what she knew…

"You did a good job buying them time." Phoenix sighed. "I just wish I knew how long she was away so we could help them." He added, motioning to the others.

The large stallion knelt down. "Scootaloo was it?" He asked brushing her mane back. "It's a beautiful name. And I'm happy to see you grow into such a lovely lady."

"Why do you care?" She huffed.

"I see you got your mother's sass." He laughed. "And my right hook I noticed."

"Wait. Are you?"

"I met your mother on a different planet. At the time, she was injured." Sighing he looked to the back door. "She was a spitfire back then…"

"Still is." Phoenix and Scootaloo corrected in unison.

"Right. It wouldn't be until we started dating that she'd tell me about her past. And it wouldn't be till I got the news that she told me about the GPF." He sighed pulling out a pair of booties from his pocket. "Soon after she gave me these. They found us. In order for her to get away… I went with them."

"That was what thirteen years ago?" Rainbow asked.

"More like twenty." He replied.

"Sounds about right. I did spend a few extra years here before you guys showed up." Scootaloo explained. After a few moments she slowly looked over at the stallion with a soft smile.

It was at that moment Kitty came out with the now former member of the GPF. "The papers are all sent." He said, tossing his uniform into the trash. "Thank you for the tea."

"It was my pleasure." She replied with a smile as he stepped over the bodies and walked out. Once he was gone she looked to the others. "Does she know?" After receiving a nod she continued. "Great. Because I have good and bad news for everyone." She took a deep breath and sighed. "They know about Equestria."
