This story is a sequel to Grand Heist on the Friendship Express


This story is also set after The Cutie Mark Crusaders and A Hearth's Warming Play, so keep that in mind.

Grand Heist is currently making a nuisance of himself in Ponyville, and Rainbow Dash's pleas to do something about him fall on deaf ears. However, after Grand Heist proves himself to more problematic than previously thought, a new Hero appears on the scene to steal his thunder...

Actually, Rainbow doesn't seem like she's out of character in this.
In fact, if the canon version of her were in a similar situation, I think she'd act the exact same way.

6424236 well thanks for that :3 still I'm a worrier and rather indecisive...

6424987 You're welcome.
And if you need any advice, I'd be happy to help if I can. Although, granted, I might not be able to do much, since I'm more of a reader than a writer.

This is starting to get intense.

6447262 XD oh you think so?

6448425 Yeah.
Which is odd since, in the grand scheme of things, not much has really happened yet.
I guess the stuff that HAS happened was strong, though.

6448449 XD yeah I was gonna say that really chapter 2 hasn't done that much different from chapter 1, apart from introuding mare do well.

also see if you can spot the reference :3

6450112 Honestly, I don't think I could.
I've seen quite a few shows, but lately MLP FiM is the only one that I've made sure to regularly watch. And even then, I don't usually get the references that the show itself makes.

6450300 XD okay so the whole bit with "it's a bird" and mare do well's response is a reference ot an old cartoon called Underdog, about a super hero dog, a running gag had people shotuing "It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a frog! a frog!?" and underdog responding "Neither bird nor plane nor even frog, its little old me, underdog."

and now I ruined the joke XD

glad you're enjoying the story! I guess its a vast improvement on the previous one?

6450575 Underdog is one of those things that I've heard of, but never really seen.

And yeah, it's much better.

Hi Ace. Nice start off to this fic, and I'm still working on that fic. Just taking me a bit.

6476499 That's fine, got worried after I didn't hear from you for a while though.

Anyway, glad you like the fic, I am currently working on the next chapter as we speak. :3

Well Grand Heist got blown away (literally) and is likely not going to be coming back there soon. I'm still in progress of finishing mine, but I'm a bit stuck on what to do.

6580084 that's alright :3 take as much time as you need friend.

I was thinking of adding an epilogue to this story, to fill in some unanswered questions and for setting up another story : 3

Grand Heist is utterly, pathologically, sociopath-grade insane, isn't he?

I mean, for one thing, he seems to believe that a smug, petty thief with a habit of harassing ponies and rubbing his superiority in their faces should obviously be more popular than a hero who saves lives.

For the other, he seems to believe that everypony will still see him as a dashing and lovable rogue after attempting murder, destroying property, endangering lives, and committing acts of terrorism, when even the most moderate real-life government would put him on their Most Wanted list and set out to have him captured, tried and locked away for the rest of his life.

Honestly, the fact that Celestia is still trying to sweep the case under the rug and insists he's "harmless" after he blew up occupied buildings and tried to murder Rainbow Dash... it makes me wonder if there might be something very, very wrong with this Celestia.

6674459 indeed, as later stories will show, Grand Heist is NOT sane, but the nature of his insanity I shall keep under wraps for now.

and there is a reason for Celestia's behaviour. It's not a good reason and rather selfish and close minded, but she does have a reason and will be called out for it.

To be fair, Grand heist IS seen as a rather interesting and dashing figure in-universe, but to the degree that Grand heist thinks he is if word got out about his recent behaviour, his popularity would take a NOSEDIVE.

I do so hope you are enjoying this story and setting though :3

So is Grand Heist chrysalis or some other (powerful) changeling?

you'll find out in 'Who is Grand Heist'

"Fluttershy bopped herself on the head, sticking out a tongue. “Oopsie doodle. It’s fiiine! Everypony knows a superhero can’t beat up a super bad guy without breaking a building or two!”"
:pinkiegasp:
Really reminding me of pinky pie right there . . .

9307351
ALso, can we have an epilogue as a seperate story?

9307363
hmmm Dodge Junction kinda sorta goes on from this on, so it SORTA acts as a semi-epilogue to this one? Basically I didn't do an epilogue because what it would've covered would serve just as well in Grand heist's later appearances, so yeah.

also: yes, Fluttershy ehre is very much just Pinkie Pie. which um might not be that great but still though, that's her deal >.>;

9307497
It's all good and thanks. Any interesting adventures lately?

9308132
well, just realized that part of your bio was that you liked adventures, so. . . yah. . . .*boops*

9308136
XD I just meant I like writing and reading adventure fics

9308144
ah. . . oh, well then, anything interesting going on idea wise?

9308156
