"Ya closing for the night Crammy?"

"Done the inspection. Everything is a-okay as of now." Crammy said to his buddy, Frost Bolt. Both stallions stepped out of the shop as Crammy closed the door behind him. Using his magic, he levitated the right keys and locked the door, creating a clicking sounds as well. Twisting it back and retracting it from the keyhole, he pocketed it in his jacket.

"Cold out huh?" Frost said to Crammy.

"It's December. Of course the pegasi will set up some clouds as soon as the first day of December comes." Crammy replied, putting his hooves in the pockets of his jacket. Both starting to trot away from the shop creating hoofprints as a track.



Inside the shop they locked up, a figure moves quite fast in the dark. Taking everything they can before security measures can detect their presence.

One small figure ran on one aisle and started knocking down the boxes of toys that were on the shelf, landing as well inside the duffel bag they were carrying.

Another figure, who this time was tall, sneakily trotted up to the bits register, and pulled out the bits drawer. The figure started plucking out the golden plates of value from the drawer, housing them either on their pockets on their duffel bags.

The last figure was still placing all the goodies of the boxes at the back of the shop on his duffel bag. Before it completely became heavy as hell.

The 2 figures inside the main portion of the shop entered the backroom, quietly gesturing their partner to move with them, since they are done stealing what they have needed. The trio found themselves a ladder, climbing up lead them to the roof. Where the trio then dropped from the top and moved out to their safehouse fast as possible.


 
"The fuck happened there?" Vanoss asked and pointed to the shop.

"There's royal guards, some serious shit I guess." Wildcat replied.

"Wait, what month is it?"

"Um.. Spike!" Wildcat called out to the dragon. Looking at him in the process. "What month is it?"

"December." Spike said sipping his hot choco.

There Vanoss and Wildcat stood there, took a glance at each other, before taking out their phones and messaged their friends.



"ALRIGHT EVERYBODY! LISTEN UP!" Vanoss yelled as he slammed his hooves on the table of Sugarcube Corner's dinner table.

"This better be some good shit 'cause you woke us up at 6:30 in the morning." Marcel said, rubbing his eyes to remove the remaining eye bags left on his eyes.

"Well this is worth because.." Vanoss said rubbing his hooves together. "Guess what month it is today?"

"Wednesday." Lui mumbled with a yawn in his voice.

"September." Mini said.

"November." Nogla said, placing his head down on the table.

"No you idiots, it's fucking December!" Vanoss yelled, with that, the 6 other stallions jolted their heads up and looked at Evan with tension.

"December?" Delirious asked.

"Yep." Vanoss replied.

"De-fucking-cember?' 

"Mmhmm." Delirious launched himself to Vanoss and held him by his coat.

"Let's go fucking shopping."



"You sure this is the shop Evan?" Wildcat asked, pocketing his hooves on the jackets of his pockets. 

"This is what Dash said, the one and only clothing store in all of Ponyville." Vanoss said, looking from his map and up to the sign. "You got the money Delirious, Miniladd?" He asked, his two bros raised their wallets, shaking it to know it's full of bits. "Then let's shop in here.. Kuai." Vanoss said, pushing through the glass door and went in followed by his friends.



"Princess Celestia!" Twilight yelled with surprise in her voice. Bowing down to her used-to-be mentor.

"Formalities Twilight." Celestia said, making Twilight raise her head from her bow, along with a sheepish smile she always has.

"Sorry," She said rubbing the back of her hair. "force of habit." She looked up at her mentor, now looking seriously. "So, what brings you here to my lonely library Celestia?" 

"I came here for a discussing matter. About that robbery last night." Twilight fixated at Celestia. "I request you to look into it. The guards lack some high-ranked forensic scientists to investigate the scene. You can use the skills you learned back then to know more about the situation."

"Thinking of anypony? Vanoss, Delirious.. Wildcat?" Twilight suggested, pausing before saying Tyler's name.

"No. not them. I suspect something more out of this realm."

"From Taurtarus?"

"Yes. Have you ever read 'The Colt Who Went'?" Celestia asked, getting a nod as a response.

"The part where demons steal in Hearth's Warming Eve every 5 years?"

"Yes. That part is quite based on a true story. 9 decades ago a similiar heist happened, it involved what I think.. is a redcap and a centaur."

"Anyway, I maybe able to look into the crime scene. Please do tell me later what exactly do you need."

"Thank you Twilight." Celestia said turning to the door. "Also, do tell.. I have arranged a meeting for me and Vanoss."

"When?"

"Tomorrow, 3' in the afternoon. Tell him."

"I will." Twilight said as Celestia nodded. A yellow aura surrounding her when she disappeared with a yellow flash.



"Well that was worth it." Vanoss said, pushing the glass door and going outside. 

While a some time ago he was in his usual form, no clothing and just shades, now he's wearing a dark green jacket with a yellow and red scarf which looks like the house of Gryffindore.

Followed by him was Delirious in a Santa outfit. Though he still does have his hockey mask. "Wildcat looks alright for sleeping time!" Delirious said. 

The two turned to Wildcat. Who was still wearing his mask and helmet but with PJ's that has a neon blue background with palm trees as silhouttes. "Hey! We look dope as fuck man!"

Then Marcel came out with his usual bear hat but wore a navy blue sweater with Christmas designs. Such as ginger bread ponies, Christmas or Hearth's Warming Eve trees, reindeers and so on and so on. Not only that but with a green scarf as well. "Heh, Marcel looks like Finn!" Vanoss commented.

"Oh yeah!" Delirious said, the three afterwards laughed.

"Exactly bro." Then there was Nogla, who had grey ear muffs on his paper bag head, and a green sweatshirt with green jeans.

"Nogla just bought his Christmas janitor outfit." Vanoss said as the crew members outside chuckled.

"Yep." Now Lui was out of the door and outside showcasing what he bought and is wearing as of now. He wore his monkey mask with the cigarette, and had a red sweater along with green jogging pants and a crimson red tie on his neck. On his hooves were his own shoes, elf shoes.

"Lui looks like a Christmas tree!" Wildcat laughed and so did the others. "I doubt mall guards would allow you to get in!" Wildcat laughed again.

"Where's your low budget Christmas spirit?" Lui said.

"I don't see as how that's low budget considering you fucking bought a tie placed on your neck." Vanoss said, the crew laughing along with him.

"Where's Mini Ladd at?" Marcel asked.

"Here." Speak of the devil. Mini was wearing yellow PJ's with pony silhouettes and his yellow filp flops.

"You remind me of last year's Christmas attire. Where I wore yellow PJ's and my utility belt." Vanoss said.

"It's a fucking parachute." His friends yelled at him.

"No, it's my utility belt!" He said as some weakly laughed at his statement.

"Anyway, where's Brock at?" Nogla asked.

"Beside you." Moo said, spooking the shit out of Nogla, who gasped and jumped to the air before crashing himself to the ground. Everyone laughing at his reaction.

"Bitch don't do that!" He yelled as a hoof peeked out of the snow. Followed by his head. He quickly took a good look at brock. Wearing a rainbow sweater and a large size of blue cargo pants. 

"Brock never changed his attire." Wildcat said with a laugh, some also did what he did. 

"I could think of PJ's but I'm assuming it would be too much since there's already a lot." He said.

His friends laughed. "Brock there's literally like two of our friends wearing pajamas. You could just join them but you joined the sweater team. There's already a lot on that team." Vanoss said.

"Oh yeah!" Brock said, joining them in the laugh.



"Who wants to play finish the story?" Vanoss asked.

"Me!" "I do!" "I like dat!" Everyone agreed. Now they were sitting around a campfire Vanoss had spawned just in the middle of the road.

"Once." Vanoss started.

"Upon." Marcel said next.

"A." Wildcat said.

"Time." Brock stated.

"And." Nogla said.

Then everyone except Nogla bursted in laughter. "The fuck is that shit Nogla?" Wildcat said.

"It works! Kind of." Nogla retorted.

"Let's go the other way around." Vanoss declared. "Once."

"Upon." Mini stated.

"A." Delirious said.

"Time." Lui said.

"There." Nogla finally complied.

"Was." Brock said.

"A." Wildcat said.

"Piece." Marcel said.

"Of." Vanoss said.

"Shit."

"Named."

"Fuck."

"Boy."

Some chuckled. "Little."

"This a new sentence?" Vanoss asked.

"Yeah." Brock replied.

"Did."

"They."

"Know."

"There."

"Was."

"A."

"Microscopic."

"Pfft.. penis."

Then everyone bursted down to laughter.

"I can't think of anything else!" Brock excused.

"Sure you can't." Vanoss said with sarcasm in his voice.



"Excuse me." Twilight said alerting a guard.

"Princess, at your service." The guard bowed.

"You can call me Twilight." She said as the guard raised his head. "Anyway, permission to access the scene?"

"Permission granted." The guard said, stepping aside and allowed Twilight to raise the police tape and step inside the empty robbed shop. She equipped her rubber gloves and started examining. 

Looking around she saw the cash register empty and a lot of boxes open and left on the open aisle. She saw some CSIs as well investigating the scene. She took out her notepad and started writing what could've happened. 

Seems that the suspects were in a hurry. They left scratch marks and big prints of their feet/hooves.

She placed her notebook inside her saddlebag. Her horn brightened and suddenly a purple ray of light shined out in front of the horn. She smiled, looking down she saw large hoofprints and small footprints. She kept on looking around. She then was near the register, she quickly pulled the handle with her magic, the drawer detracting from the main body of the register. She took a good look at it and shined her light onto it. There was also some scratches left behind, and another thin thing which seems to be..

A piece of hair.

Quickly surprised, she pulled out the piece of hair and place it inside a plastic bag she had gotten from her satchel. 'That's one piece of evidence.' She thought.



Finishing the last bits and getting some more of that hair from the store, she is now trotting her way home. 'I should be able to examine these pieces of hair and maybe cross-reference them, if it does find any matches.' She thought. She was so excited and giddy that she had lowered her guard only for a corrupt dirty colt approach her.

"Big surprise lady. Where ya think you're going?" The stallion asked. Twilight froze and sweat dripped from her forehead.

"My way home." She gulped.

"You think this is even a way home?" Another stallion said appearing from behind. Grinning at the defenseless Twilight.

"I am the princess of friendship, I do not rely on violence." She defended.

"Oh we know, it's why we use that violence." The earth pony said flipping his switchblade.

"Fuck you bitch!" A voice yelled, kicking the colt behind Twilight in the process. The stallion wearing PJ's punched the hell out of the guy in front of Twilight, knocking him out. The guy that he had picked managed to recover, and took a glare at the two before charging towards the masked colt. 

Wildcat swung a lunch but was only able to hit nothing. The guy who ducked from his attack punched Wildcat on the stomach. He staggered and hits the mugger with a knee. He recoiled and punched him back as hard as he can, launching him backwards, not too long.

Wildcat staggered and leaned on the wall for support, he looked at Twilight then looked into his chest. He pute pressure on his chest, only to touch liquid. "You're bleeding!" Twilight yelled.

"I know, calm down." Wildcat reassured, he took out a meteorite bar and ate the bar in one swallow. Slowly, he can feel the tissue and his muscles forming again. It felt it somehow healing, he took in a breath and exhaled to release the air inside him. Twilight was still worried, Wildcat pulled a piece of his clothing to show his now healed wound. Twilight sighed in relief. 

"Glad your okay." She said to Tyler.

"No, I'm just glad you're okay." Wildcat replied.



"Here's the house. Let's get in." Tyler said, Twilight nodded and entered. They both saw Vanoss on his sleeping bag snoring the fuck out.

Wildcat yawned.

"I'm just gonna.. sleep. 'Night Twi." He said before falling on his sleeping bag and slept. Twilight smiled and giggled at his antic. 

"Goodnight Tyler."



She spun the hair and adjusted it. Looking at the cells or some shit inside it. She stopped looking into the microscope and looked at her book. 'I may have gotten the results and information I needed. But I need to make sure.' She thought, she turned to the info she had made and rolled it up. Sealing it with a red seal, her horn glowed and the pink aura came to life, pink aura started surrounding the files and with a flash of light, disappeared in purple.



Celestia, now awake from her slumber, just read the results Twilight had gotten. With a look of worry, she had to make sure it wasn't what she was thinking. Getting up from her bed, she flared her wings and flew to the archives along with the file. It had been too long since they returned, and they return always with a reason. A reason she has yet to know.

Now in her grand library, she flew up and stopped at a certain bookshelf. She dug through the line of books, and found what she has needed. Yellow magic enveloped the cover and scroleld through pages and pages, until she had found her desired information. She pulled the seal and looked at every information Twilight had made. She crossed-referenced the information together. At that rate she is now quite sure it is them. 'I have to wake my sister.'

With no time to lose, she enveloped herself in a yellow aura and teleported to Luna's room in a flash. 

The doors slammed, quickly waking and startling Luna. The yellow faded from Celestia, and trotted to Luna with an angered expression. "Sister?" Luna asked, shielding her eyes from the light.

"There is no time to watch the night sister. This is more of the urgent matter."

"Well, what is it then?"

"Contact Princess Cadence. We have work to do."



Somewhere..

"456..457..458.. and 459. It's done." The Redcap said to his centaur friend who grinned and placed down a map with a bunch of pictures of a mall.

"This is our next target."
