Around the world a number of crimes have been committed, with the crimes where someone saw or a camera caught the criminal in the act are the villainesses from Power Ponies. The crimes are all strange as many of the crimes are aimed at either villains or crime groups, stealing as much cash as they could before getting away. There are also the robberies where they go after mundane items like kitchen appliances and building supplies. They didn’t just steal from USA but from other countries.

And Madeline has the power that allows her to augment reality in any way she sees fit. She mainly uses to create "Dream Bubbles", tiny pocket dimension-like spaces in which she has total control.

In the PRT HQ -
“Hey I didn’t know that Entrapta has a little sister,” Assault said pointing to one of the screens on the big tv screen showing the robbery at a superstore warehouse.
On screen has the clearly adult, Entrapta who besides wearing metal armbands and leggings, is basically just wearing a light grey camisole. Is commanding robots to steal electronics from kitchen to game consoles from the warehouse. Her power is controlling her long purple hair but she is also a tinker and the one who created the robots. There is also with her a younger woman who looks to be in her late teens.
She is shorter and a bit stocky, and has olive skin, rose eyes, and long, lilac-colored hair that she wears in pigtails. Her hair is prehensile like her big sister, meaning she can move it around at her own will like limbs. She is always wearing her work attire, consisting of heavy gloves, steel-toed boots, arm covers, a welding mask with red lenses, and a pair of overalls worn like pants. The shoulder straps are left loose over a white undershirt, which has been blotted with grease. And unlike her older and buxom sister her figure is much more tamed.
“She doesn't. Looks like the spin off with the Princess Horde who are younger then their main counterparts were also summon,” Battery said.
“What?” Assault asked.
“The Princess Horde are the villains in the short lived New Adventures of the Power Ponies where they’re all 18 year olds who are still in high school. They’re all redesigned in that show and are much less supermodels with busty and nubile bodies,” Battery said pointing to the two She-Ra’s one being a sexy supermodel while the other is a shorter and muscular young adult.
“So what do we do? We were already outnumbered by the gangs already but now, with LOVE running around its more like a dozen or so now,” Assault asked.
“From what I managed to gather they’re building something,” Dragon said over the com channel. She has made a list of all the items the members of LOVE have been stealing all over the world. “They’re not just stealing but also buying it outright using the money they stole from villains and crime rings. They only resort to stealing when they couldn’t just buy it.”
“And some of them are just taking things from junkyards and bringing up wreckage from sunken ships or abandon ruins from endbringer battles,” Battery said.
“Well has something like this happen before in the show?” Assault asked Battery.
“It’s been years,” Battery said.
“There was the episode where the Shadowbolts stole things like fishbowls and other seemingly worthless items and built a lightning gun with it,” Dragon said over the com channel. “I watched all the shows and the spin off to learn all about the villains.”
“Wait they’re cartoon villains from a show where they’re mostly killed off as its a villain of the week show. From what I remember the villains always have a big weakness that allows the heroes to kill them,” Assault said.
“Oh yeah, the Apple Family were tricked into fighting each other allowing the Power Ponies to kill them off when they blew up the apple factory they were in. The Shadowbolts all have a voice activated secret override password that shut off their prosthetics and upgrades. Juniper Montage put that in, so that if the others ever betray her, she would always have the upper hand. The ones who can zap people into photos, tv shows, or books need their tool to do it and are helpless without them. Also there’s having the villains use their powers on each other, like that water villain being used to kill that electric villain,” Battery said realizing that they can just beat the villains like what happen in the show.
“No the villains have learned from their past mistakes, some of the heroes who tried to stop the villains as well as some of the villains tried to use how they were beaten in the show. Destroying their power source for their tinker gear doesn’t work as they made sure the metal is stronger, their power supply isn’t stupidly small where using it more than a few minutes will drain their gear. Using high-pitched frequency, weaknesses aren’t as effected or they work with others so that if they’re hit with their weakness they’re not alone, and have better control of their powers. They also work as a team now and aren’t falling to fight each other,” Dragon explained.
“How did that happen?” Assault asked.
“During her talk with her father Nightfall said that thanks to several villains combining their powers she and her new mother Nightmare Moon were able to spend years in a pocket dimension where they didn’t aged and time moved faster inside. Using it to train and bond together. The villains must have done the same for all of them so that they can’t be beaten the same way twice. And from the reports they all care for each other now, looks like they spent the time bonding with each other,” Dragon said.
“Oh just great, the villains are now friends and work as a team,” Battery said.
“Well, Nightfall is a fan of the show. She has a huge collection of dolls of all the villainesses,” Assault said remembering the photos of Nightfall’s room.
“The Power Ponies were dull, I watched the show more for the villains and the fights,” Battery said. (3)
“Wait, I think I remember in a show I saw they figured out what the plan was by looking through the items stolen and seeing what could possible be made by combining all of them together,” Assault suggested.
“I already thought of that but this isn’t a cartoon show, whatever they’re doing isn’t going to have something that would be known here. The show has time travel, going to different universes, crossovers with other shows and movies, they had an episode where Santa is has a team of super powered elves who helped the Power Ponies save Christmas. It’s a silly cartoon show from the late 80’s with lazy writing in how things happen,” Dragon said.
“Yeah, I miss those kind of shows,” Assault said. (4)

Author's Note
1 - Rainbow Brite and the color kids have complete control over the colors they represent. Which means anything that is the color they represent is also under their control. And adding lantern powers where they aren’t limited by emotions but just by color they become over powered really quickly.
2 - Strawberry and her friends all have complete control over everything to do with the food item or plant with not limits but what they can think up. And for a cake which is made up of lots of ingredients, they have power over all of them as well. Like how there is sugar in just about everything and someone has complete control of it even if it’s in your body.
3 - One of the reasons why the Powerpuff Girls reboot failed was that the main draw was always the big fights and the villains. While, the girls weren’t that interesting as they lack much personality.
4 - I miss shows where heroes are heroes and villains are just villains.
