Scootaloo was told to stay with Aaron and Expert for a few hours while Rob went to the mayor for what they wanted. And later, Rob came back. "So, what did the mayor of the city want? I have to admit, not even the UNA knows what he would want." Aaron said.

Rob sighed. "The entire city basically built this house on a hillside for me, and gave me the deed free of charge. Not sure what I'm going to do with five stories of living space, but I'm going to have to think of something, as the mayor insisted on me having what is basically a mega mansion." He explained.

"What do you mean by five stories? I don't think five books is that much space." Scootaloo said.

"Err...what Rob means to say is, the mansion he was given apprently has five floors to it." Aaron said. "...WAIT A SECOND, FIVE FLOORS?! ARE YOU ACTUALLY BEING SERIOUS?!" Aaron suddenly exclaimed, being obviously taken aback by that.

"Yeah, apparently the whole town got together to build the damn thing." Rob said. And then Aaron fainted.

"What's the big deal about five floors?" Scootaloo asked. She didn't want to bring up Twilight's castle and how it has seven floors and Celestia knows how many rooms to the point where it's easy to get lost in the thing.

"Well, let me be clear: In addition to the master suite; that's what they call a master bedroom with the master bathroom connected to it; there's five thousand bedrooms, three pool rooms, a simulated beach room, at least seven closets with cleaning supplies in them, and err..." Rob noticed the vacant looks he was getting from not just Aaron but Scootaloo too. "...I think I better stop there before I completely break your brains." He added.

Forget Twilight's castle; THAT place just took the cake for being the biggest place ever. Scootaloo thought to herself.

"I have one question: How the hell does the city expect you to maintain that place by yourself?" Expert asked.

"Not sure, but there is something the mayor mentioned: Several residents went missing out near a mansion out in the woods. Scootaloo, mind taking a look with me?" Rob asked.

"Yeah sure." The pegesus said. Anything to get my mind off of how damn big that mansion is. Scootaloo thought to herself. Then blinked. Now I'M doing profanity. Rainbow Dash would wash my mouth out with soup if she heard me say something like that. Scootaloo added to her thoughts.

Well safe to say, the mansion with the rumors turned out to be someone who was using the Orange Time Stone to transform whoever came across the mansion into female anthro Pokemon with...very noticeable breasts to say the least while also brainwashing the lot.

It creeped Scootaloo the heck out. And this prompted Rob to seek Cole's help for some of the people who were brainwashed against their will.

"Hrr...never really tried to restore personalities before. Still, at least this is more of just a mental thing, then both a mental and soul related issue." Cole said. "...Oh dear." He said, looking at some of his readouts.

"What? Is something the matter?" Rob asked.

"Yes unfortunately there is. Some of these folks have been like this for so long...I doubt there's anything left of their old selves." Cole said.

"Talk about bad news." Aaron said.

"Even science has it's limits I'm afraid. Still, perhaps you should consider keeping the ones who either too far gone, or the ones that will wish to remain like this as some sort of cleaning staff." Cole said.

"Hey, I don't want to be that kind of guy." Rob said.

"You don't have to be. Just put them on some sort of payroll." Cole said.

"...I hate that you just brought up a good counterpoint." Rob said. "Especially when I already have a lot of wealth from everything that happened. More then I know what to do with, that's for sure." He added.

"Well then, take this as the sort of opportunity to find a way to spend some of that. Waste not want not after all; it's one of the few principles of society I can actually get behind." Cole said.

"I don't get it." Scootaloo said.

"Err...Cole, Waste not want not means to basically means to avoid using a commidity on a big splurg." Rob said.

"Well this isn't much of a splurg is it? I'm willing to bet that you'll STILL end up with more money then you'll know what to do with." Cole said.

"...Dammit, why do you have to be right again." Rob said.

"Regardless, I still don't agree with you taking the law into your own hands." General Hightop said. "You clearly aided a known criminal. That's cause for arrest." He said.

"Like I told Rob here, there's always a loophole." Cole said before handing General Hightop a piece of paper.

"...What the..." General Hightop said. "This is a contract of consent. And one of the things the signer agrees to...is that by agreeing to undergo the procedure, the act of them becoming someone different willingly can fall under the Good Samaritan Law regardless of the patient's past actions." He added.

"Like I said, there is always a loophole when you know where to look. Society is full of contradictions. That's why I can't stand most notions of Society because those same notions can cause contradictions. Sure, it's against the law to aid a known criminal. But the same law protects those who only wish to help someone in need, even if the person doesn't want your aid." Cole said. "So, while your laws vandalize those who aid criminals, it also protects those who aid them if those criminals seek aid willingly. It's an example of a legal loophole. You can't arrest me for aiding a known criminal without getting slammed with me acting under the Good Samaritan law. Which means I get to walk out those doors scott free, or else your own laws will be called into question." He said. "And if you do arrest me, it only proves my whole point right: That society doesn't care if a serial killer wants to change; they'd sooner rather said killer be shot to death in a firing range." Cole concluded.

"This...this isn't over. I'll find some way to arrest you legally without you getting out of it because of some loophole." General Hightop said.

"I look forward to seeing you try. So long as my acts of aiding serial killers happen on US soil, you can't touch me." Cole said.

However, one thing no one expected was that the moment Cole stepped out of those doors, he was shot by a sniper. It didn't take the UNA long to find the sniper and arrest him. Cole was able to ultilize a loophole, showing just how mendable the law really could become under those who knew how to use it. But for this, there was no defense against it. It was murder. Plain and simple.

Still, General Hightop wanted to confirm for himself about Ere, so Rob escorted him towards Ere. However, during the questioning, a massive earthquake struck, caused by a rampaging Nidoking. This rampage killed everyone in that building who didn't make it out in time, which included Ere and several others. Even if Elise was a different person, they shouldn't have just died like that. However, Rob and I were being tasked to go after the next time stone first, as it like the Nidoking, was on the move. General Hightop decided to put some UNA spies on the Nidoking's trail to see where it goes. But little did anyone realize just who; or rather what; that nidoking was really like.

This wouldn't be the last time we would see Cole though. But that's for another time.

Author's Note

Yeah you know it's a big deal when I use profanity to describe how big something is.
