Hell hath no fury...

The school finally ended but the Cutie Mark Crusaders still felt guilty about Diamond Tiara, who spent the breaks in the toilet, crying.

    They slowly walked to Hase's mansion. But, strange, on the doors they were stopped by a pony with sunglasses and an official suit, who asked them for their passes.

" Ah, what? " Scotaloo didn't catch that

" Happpy, leave the kids alone! " a young yellow mare with a red- brownish mane went out.

Nothing else could riddle the three fillies as the two ponies.  They stared at them.

" Ah, Hase? " the mare shouted.

Hase quickly came to the door and when he saw the confused faces of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, he remembered, that he forgot to introduce them.

" Ah, Scotaloo, Sweetie, Applebloom, meet my bodyguard Happy Hooves and my personal assiastant, Pepper Pot."

" Oh! Nice to meet you! " the three fillies replied.

The dinner was short and soon it was time to go to bed. But Scotaloo, who still, unlike the other two Cutie Mark Crusaders, felt guilty about Diamond Tiara, couldn't sleep. She decided, that if she go to Hase, she could tell him how wrong he was.

  She got out her room and went to Hase's. But when she entered the room, there was nopony.

' Strange. ' she thought. ' Nevermind. '

She decided to leave this for tommorow and take a juice or something from the thing, that Hase called " a fridge" and somehow kept all  the things inside cold.

She opened it's door and took out a cup of juice. Perhaps this night would've been much more calm, if Scotaloo didn't hear a noice from the basement. A normal pony would of scared, but Scotaloo instead went down the stairs and hid behind a column. Hase was awake and was there. He was implanting some kind of miniature gadgets under his skin.

" Last implant active. Test for the Mark XLII Cutting Edge Suit is ready. " Djarvis spoke.

" OK, let's start. " Hase spoke

Scotaloo coudln't enter the room, because it was behind a glass screen and the door in the screen opened only with a password, which only Hase, Pepper and Happy knew. She could of broken the glass, but Djarvis would of sounded the alarm. That's why Scotaloo remained behind the column next to the stairs and silencely watched.

Next to Scotaloo, on the other side of the glass wall, a pile of parts stood. At first she thought, that this was a pile of spare parts, but when they began to move, she realised, that it was a suit. One part flew to Hase and he caught it with his front left hoof. It unwrapped and formed the glove of the suit. Soon the other parts also flew to Hase with such speed, that he had to leave them first crash into the wall behind him and then catch them. The mask flew in circles around him, several times hitting the walls, untill it finally attached to his face. This suit looked a lot differently from the other 7. Unlike in the others, the gold yellow, not the red, was the main colour in this suit. When Hase made his tech check, his little fan realised, that the so- called Mark XLII also had more room for missiles, lasor charges and all other kind of stuff. The Unbeam also was much stronger than the one of the Mark VII.

" Impressive, sir. " spoke Scotaloo with her voice- changing gadget, which she, Celestia knows why, had brought with her

" Don't act like if you didn't see the one of the Heartbreaker, Djarvis. " Hase answered with a bragging voice.

" Sir, I am completely well aware of the propulsion possibilities of the Mark XVII Artillery Level RT Suit. I am afraid we have a spy. " Djarvis replied.

Hase quickly spun and shot a repulsor in the glass in front of Scotaloo.

" You'll have to pay for that later. " Hase said as he saw, that the intruder was Scotaloo

" Why did you shoot the window? "Scotaloo was confused.

" Celestia, foal! Do you know how many enemies of Equestria wopuls sell their mothers to have one of this suits? " the landicorn told her

" Well, sorry. Impressive job, after all. But why don't you sleep? And why do you name your suit Mark XLII, after you have only 8 suits after all? " the young filly burried Hase under a pile of questions

" Djarvis, could you reply this ? " Hase asked his computer

" Affirmative. Young mare, your information seems to be inaccurate. The Mark XLII Cutting Edge Armour is named this way, because it's the 42nd Iron Stalion Battle Armour. "

" I'll tell you why I don't sleep later. But now, do you want to see the other 34 suits?"

" Yes! " Scotaloo was exited

" Djarvis! The floor. " the stalion told his assistant

The middle of the floor, which had circular shape, opened and reveled stairs. The walls of the hole were completely covered in show cases, behind which the other suits stood.

" Wow! " the young pegasus spoke, as she followed the stalion.

" I'll say something about the most importrant. Here we see the Mark XLI Skeleton Suit, aka Bones. "

This suit looked really strange. It had the figure of the suits Scotaloo knew, which were these from Mark I to Mark VII., but it wasn't silver, golden or red, but black an it's exterior resembled a skeleton.

" The main idea of this suit was to be extremely agile. The bones were my idea! " the landicorn continued to speak.

" Ah, Hase, why do you need so many suits? " Scootaloo asked

" Each one is ment for a different situation. For an example, when I need to be super agile and manouverable, I'll use this suit, because it was ment for that. Do you understand? "

" Yes. "

" OK, I'll go on.The Mark XL Hyper Velocity Suit aka Shotgun. As you can understand from the name, it's ment for a very big speed. You can even make a Sonic rainboom for just ten seconds with this baby. "

This one was entirely with the original metalic colour and was lacking the fissure for the mouth, which the others had.

" The Mark XXXIX Sub Orbital Suit aka Gemini is ment to travel on the edge of the atmosphere, almost in space. "

This suit was white. It was sealed a lot better than the other suits, because on the edge of space, Hase needed all the oxygen he could get.

" You can travel in space?! " Scotaloo was amazed

" Nope. Only on it's edge. And this is one of my favourites! The Mark XXXVIII Heavy Lifting Suit aka Igor or Shyulkbuster! "

At first the filly was amazed from the suit itself. It was blue, way bigger than the other suits and it's head was lower than it's  neck. "

" It can lift anything and it can bust anything! "

" But why Shyulkbuster? " the pegasus couldn't get it.

" Remember last time when you made Fluttershy mad and she escaped in the Everfree forest, smashing everything on her way? "

"Well, yeah. " she felt uncomfortable

" This baby stopped her. And this baby, " Hase went to the next suit  ", travels underwater. The Mark XXXVII Deep Lake and Sea suit aka Hammerhead."

This suit resembled Gemini ,but it looked cooler, and unlike it was armed and ready to fight.

" Because you won't see many monsters in outer space, but when you're underwater, just like when I fix the Arc Reactor powering my house, sometimes things get rough. " Hase explained to Scotaloo, when she asked him why does he need weapons  when underwater.

" And if you're in trouble, you could depend on this guy. The Mark XXXV Disaster Rescue Suit aka  Red Snapper! "

This one was really bizzare. It's forehead was a lot bigger than normal, his hands were very big and had pincers on it's ends.

" We'll skip one, so... the Silver Centurion! Also one of my favourites... "

" You mean the Mark XXXIII Enhanced Energy Suit, right sir? "Djarvis spoke

" Right! " the landicorn replied with an annoyed voice " It's propulsion levels are as high as they can be! "

This one lacked the gold. It had strange looking shoulderplates and unlike the most suits, which had round or rectangular windows for the reactors inside, this one had a triangular one, with it's peak pointing down.

" The construction suit. Mark XXV aka Striker. I am sure you, like all the other ponies wondered, how I built this mansion for only two weeks. Well, this baby is the reason! " the stalion spoke. He described each suit like if they were his foals.

Instead red, this suit had dark- blue and gold. The front hooves ended with huge drills.

" But... I don't understand!  You should of kept it somewhere. And the owner of the house would  of said this to somepony and the whole Ponyville would of known! "

" Listen, I trust you, and I hope, you won't tell anypony about this, OK? If there is a huge disaster- and I've been through huge disasters- the suits from Mark I to Mark VII might get destroyed. But here, in this hole, I keep all the other suits and a copy of the suits Mark I- VII. This way the enemy would think he's destroyed all of my suits and actually, he would of destroyed none. The mare, in which house I kept the suit, agreed. I hope you would agree too. "

"I agree, but who's that mare? " Scotaloo asked

" I'll give you a hint. She has a multicoloured mane and can walk on clouds. "

The young pegasus was almost going to shout " Rainbow Dash ?!?! ", but Hase made a silence field magic on time and nopony woke up.

" Yes, she! Now don't wake everypony in this house! " the landicorn told to her.

" Rainbow Dash? Does she have one of these suits? "

" You should ask her! This is the Mark XXII aka Hot Rod. It is one of my earlier trials and isn't very good. "

This one looked just like Mark II, but had a  machinegun on one of it's shoulders and the window for the reactor was rectangular, not circular.

" We missed the Mark XXVII Chameleon Suit aka Disco, which is the ultimate copycat and can blend in any enviroment and the Mark XXVIII Radiation Suit aka Jack, which is ment to work in radiation zones. Obviously. "

The first one looked like the Mark III, but was multicoloured. When Hase told Djarvis to turn on the cammouflage, Scotaloo could swear, that a suit stood there before a second, but not to see it.

" Aah, what's radiation? " she asked Hase before they moved on.

" Oh. You don't know? "

The young pegasus confirmed.

" Well, it's a kind of energy, that is exremely harmful for ponies and other living things. There are three types of it: alpha, beta and gamma. The first is easily stopped by somepony's skin. The second is stopped by a half- inch metal plate and the gamma ones are only stopped by a 3 inch thick lead plate. Thanks to the Iron Stalion tech, now it's thickness is reduced to a less than a billionth from an inch and this suit is still fast, altough lead is the heaviest none- radioactive element.  And by the way, the Tesseract emmits a very low level of gamma radiotion, which is harmless. "

"And where is the Tesseract? "

"I am afraid, that you don't have access to this area. " Djarvis replied instead of hase

" Secret! " Hase smiled. " And now the... "

" Mark XVII Artillery Level RT Suit aka Heartbreaker! " the young filly recognized the suit with the optimal Unibeam and Repulsor Ray power by it's design. The window for the reactor was bigger than the others. It was also very prostustive,because the reactor inside was with the power of two. The whole design led the eye of the pony to the reactor.

" You will replace the Widow one day! " Hase told the young filly, as he realised, that she was spying on him for a lot longer, than he thought.

" And these are the last one I will talk about. The Mark XVI and XVII Black Stealth Suit and Stealth Suit, aka Nightclub and Sneaky. Ment to be stealth, of course. But while Sneaky focuses more on the weapons, Nightclub focuses more on stealthyness. "

  The both suits resembled each other, but the Nightclub was black and didn't have so much space for rockets, as Sneaky hat.

Finally, Hase and Scotaloo exited the pit and it closed behind them.

" OK, but why won't you sleep? " the filly asked her foalsitter

" I just can't. And when I do, I have nightmares. Of something, that I think I will remmeber, but I can't. "

" That's bad. But you shouldn't treat Diamond Tiara this way. "

" Yeah. Tell her, that I am sorry. I made a mistake. Even the thing in my dream said, that it is dissapointed from me and I was a way better pony once. I just can't figure out from where does it know about it! You know what, I'll come to your school tommorow and I'll personally apologise. I'll even give her a party gun, so she could continue making her little pranks on you. Hope this will cheer her up.  And now, " Hase put the parts of the now dissassembled Mark XLII in a case " , we'll go up and won't tell anypony about it. Right? "

" Right. "

The both ponies went to the kitchen just on time to see the sun rise.
