So recently a giant electric explosion occurred in the weather factory. It was apparently set off by a Mare name Puffy Smoke, or as she called herself; Misty Storm. From what I heard though it seemed like the Weathermare put a stop to Misty's plan, permanently... I don't have full details so I'm not going to be accusing anypony, but I hope Rainbow didn't actually...
Anyways, I was decorating The Well with Hearts Warming decorations. Y'know, holiday spirit and all. But Shelly suddenly reported a distress flare went off in the open plains between Canterlot and Ponyville. It could've been a basic bandit raid, but the explosion I heard as I was getting my costume on said otherwise.
I ran to the springpad, readjusted it to shoot me to the plains, then got on and fired away! Now I may not be a Pegasus, but I love flying! As I was getting closer to my landing point I saw exactly who was behind the explosion; My good old pal, Tick-Tock. I landed a few feet away from him and the thing he was blowing up. By the look of it I figured it was some kind of wagon.
To my left I saw a fairly burnt body. I decided that possibly dead pony comes first, Tick-Tock get's a hoof to the face later, and the definitely destroyed wagon comes never. I ran to the pony and saw that she was breathing, quite well I may add. Next I saw Tick-Tock continuing to explode the terrain of where the wagon once was. I swear he has some sort of fetish for explosions.
I trotted up to him before he lit the next fuse and tapped him on the shoulder. "Wha!-" He was asking as he was turning his head to me, but I politely interrupted him with a hoof to the face; Knocking him back and giving him a nosebleed.
"Well isn't this a nice reunion. I've gotta ask though, why did you blow that wagon into oblivion?" I asked with a slight chuckle.
"That's none of your beeswax! But hey, at least we get a rematch." Tick-Tock said as he got into a fighting stance. He hopped up and threw a bomb at me which I easily kicked into the air. As Tick-Tock landed back on the ground I was already there to send a punch his way. Surprisingly he was able to just barely dodge my hoof. It seemed to surprise him too.
I wasn't surprised enough to stop however, so I gave him a hard buck to the side, sending him away and onto the ground. He rolled over onto his hooves and sent a bomb at me like a bowling ball. I easily jumped over it and sent a concussion blast at him which he interrupted midair with another bomb.
He tossed three smaller bombs at me which I blocked with a shield spell. But instead of an explosion, now there was smoke, not toxic, but hard to see through. I heard Tick-Tock galloping towards me, so I waited for the right time, then ducked under a punch of his and sprung up, delivering a mean uppercut to his jaw. He staggered back then turned and tried to buck me only for me to grab his legs, spin him around, then let him fly for a short while. After his flight he got a face-full of dirt.
As he was getting up and shoveling dirt out of his mouth I asked him another question. "So how'd you get out of jail?"
Tick-Tock finished spitting out dirt then turned to me. "Wouldn't you like to know." He laughed.
"That's kind of the point of asking." I said calmly.
"Well I ain't gonna tell you!" He replied in defiance.
I shrugged. "Okay then, well it's time for you to go back anyway." I began walking towards him.
"Not if-!" I cut him off with a concussion blast.
I tied him up and teleported him to the police station then teleported the comedically burnt mare to the Ponyville hospital. As for me, I barely had enough energy to teleport back to The Well, but I did. Immediately afterwards I fell unconscious.
That was honestly more fun than a chore. Nopony was really hurt, Tick-Tock wasn't annoying, and the poor wagon got absolutely rekt. Yay for comedy being there to lighten a mood! Though I did wonder what was in that wagon.

A powerful flow of magic found itself drawn to the Everfree Forest, and smaller portions spread out across Equestria and through time.
