Heroes and Villains

Chapter Two: Trinity Star

Twilight Sparkle, one of, if not THE, strongest unicorn in Equestria, and adopted daughter/personal student to the Goddess of the Night. Law and Order was something Twilight had gotten into ever since the deaths of her real parents. It was still fresh in her mind, the flows of crimson staining the alleyway, a pool of red which would have been beautiful had it not been from the ponies she cherished most. Buck, she had to admit that it wasn't just her that got into the ideals of justice, law, and order when her parents had died. Her brother, Shining Armor, was CAPTAIN of the royal guard.

Such a fact made her beam with pride, and vice versa when her brother found out that she had become Princess Luna's personal student and adopted daughter. It was a welcoming feeling, even her brother accepted the Princess as his new Mother. It wasn't perfect, but it gave Twilight everything she could ever dream of. A home, a family, an unending river of books and knowledge. The only downside was the arguments, which, Twilight had to admit she started. She hated how lax the Equestrian judicial system was. How ignorant ponies were to the evils that surrounded them, and Twilight wanted Luna to tell them, to show them. Which was refused on multiple occasions.

It was understandable to Twilight. Luna had told Shiny and her about the great sacrifice she had to make for Equestria's safety, how her sister, Celestia, was banished and locked away in the sun. Celestia had been loved by all and had been known for mercy, to give everypony a second chance, even if she had forced the world into a false imaginary Utopia of peace. But Luna held only the ideals of her sisters mercy close to her heart. Twilight on the other hoof thought differently, no second chances. Especially if a pony knew what they were hurting other ponies.

And that was why Twilight felt her rage burn through her like molten lava. She was investigating the Manehatten Robbery, which had been deemed the most disturbing crime of the new era. Her parents death had been dubbed as such as well, honestly Twilight believed that the media tended to spin things out of proportion. But... Every victim she had visited from the robbery was under the effects of some sort of alchemy. The doctors told her they were getting better, but Twilight would hardly call it better.

Every question she asked she was given a response. But each response they gave was punctuated with a fit of intense giggles, and Twilight could see the torment and desperation in their eyes each time they started laughing. She knew that these ponies wanted nothing, nothing except for the pain to end, for the mad laughter to leave their ears. It filled Twilight's heart with hate and sorrow when she saw them suffering, she knew that these ponies would never truly laugh again without questioning how genuine it was,. Just like her, except she could never shed another tear after her parents death.

This is why Twilight had to take the law into her own hooves, something Luna and Shiny would never approve, but something that was a necessary evil in the world they lived in....

"HELP! HELP! SOMEPONY! ANYPONY!" She screamed, it was all she could do. Two ruffians had struck in the dead of the day when most ponies were asleep, breaking into her boutique. Now they were trying to break down the door to her bedroom. Oh if only she had sprung for that extra security that Lightweight had offered. "Of all the things that could happen. This is THE. WORST. POSS-"

THWACK!

The wooden door buckled as the two ruffians broke through into her room. She let out another shrill scream. "Back! Back I say! I have a lamp, and I am not afraid to use it." both of the large earth ponies looked at one another before bursting into a fit of thick laughter. "Oi, she thin' a lil lamp can stop us. Silly mare ain't she." the first one said, she decided she would call him Bucktooth on account of his teeth. "Real purdy ta if ya askin' me brother." the second one, which she dubbed as Scrawny, said. "Y'know, ah thin' she is! Real purdy..." Bucktooh and Scrawny took a step forward.

The distressed mare swung her lamp wildly at the two, screeching in a high pitched voice. "STAY BACK! BACK I SAY! YOU.. YOU RUFFIANS!" Bucktooth smacked the lamp to the floor, the poor decorative lamp shattered into pieces, never again would it light someponies day. "Now now, ain't how a ladeh such as yerself should act.. Me an' mah brother just wants ta 'ave some fun missus, we won't hurt ya.. Promises ya will like it.." Her eyes widened at the implications, another shrill scream leaving her muzzle.

CRASH! POW! BAM! It happened so fast that she nearly couldn't believe it. Bucktooth and Scrawny were on their sides and a pony wearing a full black body suit, which even covered her mane, tail, and horn. A justice scale rested over the new intruding pony's flank and her eyes glowed a bright white. "JUSTICE SHALL PREVAIL!" it was a mare, she knew that now. Her ears winced and she instinctively flinched back at her saviors loud words which reminded her of the Royal Canterlot voice. Out of style, but it works, I suppose.

"FINE CITIZEN OF EQUESTRIA. IS THOU ALRIGHT? DID THESE MONGRELS LAY A HOOF UPON THEE? WE MUST KNOW." Now it was just getting obnoxious, and painfully so. But she had to show respect to the mare that saved her. "No no, I am.. I am fine. They were going to.. To.... " a shiver ran along her form, "It was so barbaric!" She felt queasy now that she thought about it, her heroine nodded her head, thankfully the voice toned down now. "Thou will be compensated for the destruction of thou's property by these heathens. We will make sure of such, my lady." An aura of violet magic wrapped around the unconscious criminals. "Wait!"

Her savior stopped and glanced back at her. "... Thank you for saving me, can I.. Have your name at least? Perhaps I can make you a thrilling new outfit! That one is not suiting for a hero such as yourself miss..?" Silence followed, several seconds of it actually. "I know! Oh, I mean.. Trinity Star, yeah.. That sounds good... Ah, buck! I'm so sorry about your window, I'll take care of that too alright!? Uhm.. Bye!" Trinity Star dashed out of the room and down the stairs, she could faintly hear the mare call back. "I am Rarity, it was a pleasure meeting you, Miss Star!"

Twilight Sparkle pressed her forehead against the cold wall, careful to avoid damaging her horn. The water was equally cold and she loved every moment of it. Today hadn't just been amazing, it had been so.. So.. Right. It felt good, saving a pony that nopony else could save, being the hero, being thanked! Of course, she did muck up near the end and lost the Royal Canterlot 'We' but it was her first try. She may have expected perfection from her first try but sometimes it was all about trial and error, much like magic or science.

A shower turned out to be the perfect way to clear her thoughts and make a list on what she did right and wrong. It was quite easy to clean herself as she thought. "Canterlot voice, check. The royal we, no. Breaking the window.. No, I shouldn't have done that. I'll pay for it though, secretly.." she mused aloud. If she was going to get this justice dealing business correctly she would need to practice with her magic and hoof to hoof combat. Yes, everything was going to end up perfectly, justice would be served....

Author's Note:

Yes, everypony is in Manehatten. Why? I DON'T KNOW AHHH.

So, is the Night = Day and Day = Night confusing anyone, because it sure as buck is confusing me. I'm still keeping it.

Why does every chapter end up with a pony in the shower!? I don't know. I like showers. And ponies. So.. There?

.... so twi is batman.... and pinkie is the joker... i wonder who flutters will be...
anyways nice job. it's kind of strange seeing the DC universe in pony form, but why the heck not. as long as you stay true to ponys and DC at the same time, i'll watch this. also, AJ is Wonder Woman, right?

2625060 I won't lie. I have no idea where I'm going with this story. It's why most of my stories are on a form of hiatus (Not to mention I am a slow, slow writer and started this a month ago.). I'm still debating who is a villain, who is a hero, etc etc. And it's not going to fully go with the DC universe at the same time. Pinkie Pie did it to make ponies laugh and to get some bits to open up a bakery rather then just to inspire pure chaos. Twilight IS a definitely more Batmanish though, perhaps to a stronger extent of Law and Order.

Rarity, AJ, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash are undecided so far. Due to me being.. Well.. Me.. I want to even it out. One Pegasus villain, one earth pony villain, and one unicorn villain and vice versa with the heroes.

In short, AJ will likely fit Wonder Woman (I'll need to do my research). Rarity will turn bad (I may go Two Face style with her, the Dark Knight Two Face.) while Fluttershy & Rainbow Dash can still be either or.

... I should really plan things that I write rather then winging it.
