The Mane-iac has a reason, a method to her madness, and one that will shock the Mane Si-er, the Power Ponies to their core.

Because it's not exactly evil, and aren't we all crazy when we're in love?

The Power Ponies are coming again.

Another escape from custody, another scheme to take over Maretropolis, and another chance for the Power Ponies to defeat her. Such is the cycle that Mane-iac has endured for as long as she can remember.

And she's sick of it. She's sick of all of it. Now on the cusp of one more battle with her nemeses, she can only think of how much she has sacrificed for the city in her battles against the Power Ponies, and how much more she can take.

Everyone has that one friend that they've known since childhood, that one friend that they'd do anything for, that one friend that means the world to them. For me, that friend was Luxurious Locks, the mare that runs the most prominent hair-care product company in Maretropolis. We were the best of friends since childhood, and whenever one of us was down, the other would be there to help out.

But I guess some things don't last forever.

Luxi has disappeared, and she's been missing for over a month. To make matters worse, a deranged mare named the Mane-iac has been attacking the city with no clear motive.

Little did I know that she was looking for someone, too...

This is an HiE Anthro one-shot taking place in the Power Ponies universe, so the Mane 6 are not the Power Ponies. It also goes without saying that this is not related to any of my previous stories.

Visiting her sister was nice. A degree in rock science was within her grasp. There was just one last thing nagging at her. She had a mission to complete. It was that time of the month again. Time to pay a visit to the House of Enchanted Comics.

This idea suddenly came to me, and I just had a super burst of inspiration. I'm a big fan of classic 1960's Marvel comics, so this was a joy to write for me personally. Not only that, but I adore Maud, which should be fairly obvious.

I'm assuming there are plenty of other fics with a superhero named Iron Mare (I didn't check) but I decided to stick with the name anyway. It just fit too perfectly. I was considering changing it to Super Maud but I just couldn't get over Iron Mare. Hope somepony out there enjoys reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Written for Equestria Daily's Writer's Training Grounds #12: "While it was nice to meet Pinkie and her friends, Maud Pie must now return to her regular life. She never did let Pinkie know about her other side..."

Twilight after witnessing the summer sun celebration as a little filly, she decides to try and get into Celestia’s academy for gifted unicorns. Opening a book with a title that was missing a single letter on it's cover, Twilight picks up a rather interesting passion while studying for the entrance exam.

That's when things start to slowly 'grow' out of control.

This story is a sequel to Found You!

Luxurious Locks, formerly known as the Mane-iac, loves her boyfriend, Aaron. She'd do anything for him, and there's nothing she'd love more than to spend every waking moment with him.

Except when he's at work.

With nothing to do while her lover's away, she decides to spend an afternoon with one of her ex-nemeses turned close friends, but there's something fishy going on, and Luxi can't help but wonder what it is.

This is an HiE Anthro one-shot taking place in the Power Ponies universe, so the Mane 6 are not the Power Ponies. I totally didn't copy and paste this from the first story.

It's also highly recommended that you read the first story before diving into this one.
