Ponyville 10 days after the Shadowbolt's interruption of the Wonderbolt Derby

Twilight was sitting in the park with Rainbow Dash shooting over head doing her daily rounds in her weather patrol job. She was reflecting once again on Celestia's words,
“I know you all wish I had more to tell you but, as of right now, my best advice is just to watch and listen for more of these Shadowbolts, until we fully understand who they are and what they want. We cannot do much for or against them as we do not know what would truly help.” She could not help but sigh every time she remembered that, as it meant that they were just being extra eyes for now. Twilight got up and began to walk her way through the park, lost in her thoughts.

“Stop Thief!” Rang through the air as a strong built earth pony stallion ran by a unicorn mare snatching her saddle bags off her back. Criminals where rare in Equestria but that did not mean they did not exist entirely. Twilight turned her body to follow the thief when she was beaten to it. A black and purple blur tackled the earth stallion to the ground wrestling him. Twilight was stunned watching what could only be called a “Shadowbolt coloured Mare-Do-Well who was a colt” Physically man handling the thief while another Shadowbolt landed with a second one, this one having its hat float off revealing a unicorn filly in the costume with the red filly flier pulling out several ropes that the unicorn used to tie up the thief in question. The scuffle ended quickly now as the thief struggled against his bindings as the Colt-Do-Well stood up fully. Twilight realized this one was an earth pony, as the filly put her purple hat back on with her magic while the colt carried the bags back to the mare who the thief had taken them from, “I believe these are yours ma'am,” He said carefully hefting them back onto her back as she smiled,

“Thank you so very much!” She kissed his cheek and went on her way. A young pegasus colt walked up to the Colt-Do-Well holding a black hat, much like the purple one the unicorn filly had,
“I think you dropped this mister,” He said as the colt would nod putting it on,
“Thank ya kindly,” He wold join the other two as they headed off quickly together leaving a small crowd of stunned and impressed ponies in their wake.

“So ya'll saw them Shadowbolts having earth ponies and unicorns in their group?” Asked Applejack as she pushed a cart with some snacks and juice to her friends at the table. They had decided to meet up here when Twilight called an emergency meeting.
“That's what I said,” Twilight said slightly annoyed at being asked to confirm what she just explained,
“And they where using the Mare-Do-Well costume we designed but with the shades of purple and black of the Pegasus Shadowbolt uniform?” Asked Rarity earning an eyebrow twitch from her fellow unicorn,
“Yep.” Pinkie spoke up next,
“Oh oh and they have chosen different hat colors to show which members are earth ponies and which ones are unicorns right?!” She said energetically as Twilight nodded,
“It would appear so.” Rainbow Dash looked down slowly sighing, receiving the collective attention of her friends.
“It seems like they wear the forms of things related to me, doesn't it? The Shadowbolts where both used to try to turn away from saving Equestria, and then my Nightmare-Night costume, and the Mare-Do-Well was what you girls did to help me realize how foolish I was getting.” They looked at each other wondering if Rainbow was some how blaming herself for all this.

“Dash they just took the idea and ran with it. This has nothing to do with the fact we had any hand in it,” Said Twilight putting a hoof on her friend's shoulder, trying to comfort her. Dash looked at them as they where all smiling at her trying to take that worry out of her mind as she slowly smiled,
“Yeah I guess you girls are right. It just is odd that they use both of those uniforms after all they mean to us and what we have done.”
“Ah reckon I understand that Rainbow, but just may be me but if they are using the Mare-Do-Well outfit, and stopped a thief like that, I can't say we have to worry about them being evil or what not.” Fluttershy nodded,
“I mean maybe they are trying to get recognized for their own talents and some of them are trying to use the secrecy of their uniforms to be heroes which might be a life goal for some.” With little else to go with, the girls just agreed to keep an eye out for more of these “Shadow-Do-Wells” and Shadowbolts and watch their actions carefully.

They did however not have to wait long. Later that Day, a tour trolly broke off its pullers and tumbled down the side of a hill, very dejavu for Applejack watching it as she was about to leap into action when a black hatted colt jumped in and body slammed into its front as he pushed against it, being forced down the hill side with it. However the faulty harness was not the only weak point. The back wheel axel snapped on the way down, sending both back wheels flying off and wood shrapnel in multiple directions but it allowed for the trolly to drag itself down as much as the earth pony colt. After some of the ponies got off, the colt staggered slowly as he turned blood dripping onto the grass soliciting a scream from a very faint unicorn mare.

A solid section of the axle had shot out from under the trolly when it broke and lodged itself firmly into the colt's left side, much to everypony's horror. A black unicorn colt with a short well kept mane got off the trolly quickly with heavy saddle packs on, “Give me space everypony! I am a trained physician!” He said as he put his hoofs carefully around the wounded colt's injury asking for another colt to help him lay the wounded hero down. He shrugged off his bags quickly once they had him on the ground as he began using his magic to pull out key objects. Applejack recognized gauz, what appeared to be rubbing alcohol, 2 differently worded kits, both probably medical, and scissors. The medic colt bit into the uniform carefully pulled it away from the wound, using his magic to make the scissors cut. He then began to use his magic to trace a cut from where he started to the wound, slowly making the cuts so not to disturb the wound worse.

Applejack would notice the crowd forming and decided to do something to help by trying to get them to back up and give him space to work as she tried to keep an eye on it as well.
“Sir, I need you to focus on my voice for a bit,” Said the medic getting AJ's attention. She noticed the colt under the Shadow-Do-Well uniform was white furred, as the medic had lifted his mask past his muzzle but still hiding most of his face with it bringing a white rag to his mouth,
“Please bite into this to help endure the pain of this, I do not know how deep the object has penetrated so this could be very unpleasant.” AJ noticed just how calm and almost cold the unicorn seemed saying this as the earth pony colt bit into the rag hard. She noticed that the uniform was fully pulled away from the wound, revealing that the wood spike had some how stopped him from bleeding. AJ didn't fully understand but while being a rough type, she had rarly seen any sort of impaling injury, not aware that with enough force such a injury would inherently put pressure on the area stopping blood flow until it was removed. The unicorn had opened both of the medical kits, which one had a set of needles and thread as well as some knives. Applejack did not recognize and other materials as the unicorn carefully felt the area around the wound,

“Okay sir, now I need you to relax, on the count of 3, I am going to remove the spike.” He said pouring some of the alcohol on a thick cut of gauz preparing it with his magic quietly.
“Okay sir, 1” He started lowering his head close to the spike,
“2.” Applejack watched as soon as he finished the number his teeth instantly sank into the spike and yanked it straight out as the gauz pressed against the wound quickly adsorbing a good amount of blood. The earth pony colt growled into the rag in pain as the unicorn would spit the spike out onto the grass.
“You must forgive me but through my study of the many patients that I have taken care of, I know one relaxes most just before it happens but tenses right when they expect it. To make it easier on your system, I waited until you where at your most relaxed.” He would pull out one of the needles and a set of thread calmly as he would remove the gauz slowly, checking the wound while using some fresh water from a new bottle, he would gently wash out the wound,

“It seems you are very lucky sir. The wound is fairly shallow compared to how bad it could have been.” He would begin to use the needle to literally sew him up, which made Applejack blink. She had seen stitches before but she had never seen a pony actually making them on another pony. As he finished and sniped the end of the thread about a half dozen Shadowbolts arrived 2 where ground, one a unicorn, one an earth pony, another 4 were pegasi and 2 where pulling a cart, clearly having been rigged up to carry their wounded ally. Applejack instantly recognized the one leading them as Night Fury, the winner of the Wonderbolt Derby almost 2 weeks prior.

Night Fury seemed a bit livid about the situation as she had the 3 not pulling the cart carefully put the wounded Shadowbolt into it to take him back with them.
“You have a lot of strong willed ponies in your group miss,” Said the unicorn, having repacked his saddlebags and put them back on with his magic,
“I am just glad I could help the stallion who saved my life in return. It is not often I can use my medical knowledge so readily like that.” She would look at him slowly, getting the odd sense of dejavu.
“Black coat, blue mane, blue eyes, if he had wings and not a horn, without staring directly at his cutie mark I swear im staring at Stream.” She thought to herself just nodding to his words,

“Well it is fortunate that you could help him, I do not think any of ours are trained to deal with such an injury.” He smiled kindly tipping a invisible hat to her,
“Happy to help Ma'am, The names Cosmic Spark,” Night Fury felt this odd wrench in her gut, Cosmic? His first name was Cosmic too?
“Something wrong miss?” He asked seeming to notice her facial expression through what little he could see,
“No,” She said keeping her composure as best as she could,
“You just remind me of someone is all.” He smiled,
“Well if you travel a lot I am sure you are bound to run into similar ponies over time.” He smiled before his face softened some,

“Though, I do have a younger brother....” He seem to grow rather sorrowful saying that,
“Have not seen him in... 3 years. I think if he is still out there...” Night Fury's brow furrowed under her uniform as she ordered her team to take the wounded colt back to base. She turned back to Spark calmly,
“Well, I am not for sure of this but I may have met him, if your brother is a pegasus, with a rather unkempt mane.” Spark's ears went from a neutral to very perked up and attentive state at that.
“Was his name Cosmic Stream?” He said as Night Fury felt a knot in her gut. She wanted to scream yes for some reason, just drag him to Stream right hoofen now!
“I believe it was, I only ran into him like, twice I think” She said able to keep her calm mask despite all of this seeing the unicorn's ears droop.
“Oh... well um, if you see him again could you please tell him, that his older brother is looking for him? And misses him greatly?” Night Fury nodded slowly,

“Sure I will pass it on if I ever do see him again.” Night Fury quickly did excuse herself to follow her fellow Shadowbolts back as she was now nursing a rather large amount of anger for Stream. When she got back there was going to be yelling, lots and lots of yelling.
