Rainbow stood back slightly, readying her fists, as the large man approached. He bared a toothy grin, as he picked up speed, soon running full tilt at her, hands raised to fight. The guy might not have had a Stand, but Rainbow knew more then anything how easy it would be for her to get her ass kicked by this muscle-head if she underestimated him. He barreled forward, swinging at her head, as she ducked and weaved past him and struck him in the back. He turned on his heel, and slammed the back of his fist into the side of her face. It was a glancing blow, but with all his power and strength, enough to knock her off balance for a moment, as she backed away and got her bearings.

"Come on, hit me harder! Give me your best shot!" He challenged. "I was hired to fight the strongest of their group, and I need the challenge!"

"Crazy fuck." Rainbow Dash muttered, as she got into a fighting stance.

He charged once more, a crazed grin on his face as she swung her back leg. The kick and her boot connected with the side of his ribs, a soft crack sounding  as he brought his arm down and bashed her leg aside, before grabbing her by the shoulder and head, throwing her down to the ground, he  jumped on top of her. He blasted her in the face, his punch almost knocking her jaw loose, as her eyes widened in anger. He pulled back, a maniac expression on his face, as he swung down again. Rainbow raised her arm, and hooked it around the punch, redirecting it's blow away, and towards the ground near her face.

The man growled, pulling back as his other fist to hit, as Rainbow Dash quickly hooked the same side's leg, and popped her hips, pushing him off balance and into the air, before both landed, Rainbow between his legs as he interlocked them, keeping her close. Rainbow curled her lip up in disgust, and pulled back her right fist, before driving it into his guts. The man grunted, as she puled back and did it again, before striking with the other hand. He gasped in agony, as she pulled back her right again, and waited, smirking again, as went she for his stomach. He shifted, allowing it to slide past him, before wrapping both arms around hers in a lock and hold, and swinging his left leg over to the front and hook around her neck.

Rainbow Dash yelped in surprise, and immediately bent her locked arm, and interlocked her hands together.

"Stop resisting damn it! I'm gonna win this!" He roared, eyes wide and insane. "I'm gonna smash your face in! SMASH IT SMASH IT SMASH IT SMASH IT!!"

"Yare yare dawa." Rainbow grumbled, as she struggled against both his arms. "There's only one thing getting smashed today."

She struggled against him, as the fight continued.



Crimson Vision was surprised at himself. Despite not having the most powerful Stand among The Secret Emperor's users and minions, he was managing to hold his own surprisingly well. Despite being a team who had faced so many Stand users on their own, they didn't coordinate too well.

'Hmm, perhaps they do.' Crimson thought, as he jumped away from another barrage of Rarity' Stand. 'I am more aware of strategy and all. Yes, that's it.'

Sunset and her Ice Phoenix blazed to life in front of him, barraging him with punches. He leapt backwards, keeping away from her as her Stand rushed at him with reckless abandon. Such ferocity and strength! No wonder the Secret Emperor desired their deaths so quickly. He smiled as Sunset squared up, and Pinkie aimed, ready to fire away at him. Let her try, his ability was still in effect, there was no way she could coordinate with her Stand to aim now. Pinkie locked eyes with him, for once, a determined and fiery look in her eyes, as her Canon powered up.

Crimson's cocky smile quickly vanished when he saw Twilight's Deep Purple standing by her, two fingers pressed into the side of her skull. Deep Purple and Twilight fixed him with a fiery gaze, as Pinkie Pie fired, a blast zooming forward and striking in the chest, and sending him flying with a concussive blast seconds later, and through the wall. He gasped in shock, slowly rising to his feet, as Sunset leapt through the hole in the wall, and activated Ice Phoenix, the Stand slamming directly into Iron Sabbath's face, before barraging the smaller stand with a barrage of fists.

Crimson hit a wall in the next room over, wiping the blood from his lip, one eye swollen shut. He struggled to his feet, coughing and groaning, as Sunset stepped over the hole that his body had made, Ice Phoenix appearing beside her. He narrowed his good eye, trying to clean the dust, dirt and blood off his suit, shaking slightly from his injuries.

"You have fought well." He struggled, holding his side, as Iron Sabbath appeared beside him, armor and body cracking.

"You should probably surrender now." Sunset advised. "There's no need for further injuries on your part. You might be too hurt to carry on your mission."

"Can I tell you of another Stand I encountered once, named Survivor?"  Crimson offered, slowly straightening himself. "It, like mine, works on manipulating the electronic signals in the brain and body to get desired results from others."

He continued, as Sunset looked at him wearily. "But it can't do much. Just apply 0.07 volts of electricity, to a certain part of the brain, and get them angry. Really angry."

Iron Sabbath lifted up it's fingers, sparks building up at it's tip, as Sunset pointed to him. "Crimson Vision, don't you dare try anything."

"My Stand isn't as focused as Survivor, so it shouldn't last long." He stated, before Iron Sabbath swung it's finger downwards. "But it should give me an opening!"

Ice Phoenix shot forward, swinging a hook punch aimed at Iron Sabbath's body. The stand lifted it's other arm, blocking her strike, before jamming it's finger into the ground and sending a wave of electricity outwards. Sunset immediately jumped up and away, as Crimson broke off contact, the increased distance from it's master taxing Ice Phoenix's abilities, as Crimson melted away like water from her.

"You should've gone for the head." He muttered, before disappearing into shadows.

Sunset cursed herself, as she heard a series of arguments break out in the next room, and turned to see the rest of her friends in an all out brawl. She was taken a back by how quickly Crimson Vision's strategy had worked, but paid it no heed, and ran inside. Most likely, it was stimulating part of the brain related to aggression and lack of self-control. She hated to do it, but knocking them out would be the best option.

'I'll be holding back though.' She thought, as she saw Applejack swing a kick aimed at Fluttershy's head, caving in a large portion of the wall she was standing in front of. 'They won't be due to the electrical signal. I'll have to be extra careful.'



Rainbow Dash struggled to break free of this Attacker's hold, one hand wrapped around the other, before she struck his rear with her closest knee. He grunted in irritation, redoubling his efforts to finally lock her arm down and break it. She had seen enough martial arts to know what arm bar could do.

'A dislocated or broken elbow.' She thought, as she narrowed her eyes. 'I can't fight too well with only one arm, especially against a guy this big.'

She looked around for a weapon or object to use or toss at him, but found nothing. She grimaced for a moment, remembering the words of her martial arts instructor coming back to her, regarding what to do if you're in a pinch and need to get the upper hand on your opponent.

'Grab them where you wouldn't want to be grabbed! Poke them where you hate being poked!' His words came to her, as if to remind her of his lessons. 'Remember, it's a street brawl, not a tournament. If it lets you win, use it.'

She grimaced to herself, as she released her arm and quickly reached in between his legs. He straightened her arm out, ready to bend it backwards at the elbow and break, when she found...something. She groaned to herself, almost wishing she could have a broken arm, before squeezing with her hand as hard as she could.

Rainbow almost felt her arm beginning to bend upwards, when the man released an ear-splitting scream. She was almost taken aback by how loud and shrill it was. She almost pitied the guy. He released her immediately, letting her roll away, as he grabbed between his legs, rolling on the ground in pain. She looked at for a second, before remembering why she was here, and ran past him, jumping over him to try and get to one of the bikes.

He, through blurry, tear-filled eyes, glared at her in rage, before reaching out with a hand and grabbing her ankle, stopping her mid-jump and sending her to the ground with a thunk. She hit the metal floor face first, yelling in pain, as she struggled up, he still hanging on. Blood gushed from her nose like a geyser, as she, at first, feebly kicked out with her foot, before putting more emphasis into it.

"Let go you fucking psychopath!" She yelled at the top of her lungs, pulling back her other leg and slamming it into his face with a crunch.

He released her, as she stood up, and ran towards one of the other attackers under Crimson's control, still comatose on the floor, and began to fiddle with his shoes. The Main Attacker blinked several times, trying to get his bearings, as he got to his feet. He took a deep breath, releasing it slowly, as he tried to get his bearing.

He enjoyed himself a good brawl, to get in a break some bones, bleed a bit, bruise some knuckles. But that last move, that was a dirty move. he hated dirty moves.

'Stupid bitch just can't accept her loss like a true fighter!' he thought, eyes wide and bloodshot. 'I've got to show her defeat in a battle is just as beautiful and fulfilling as a win, even if I have to leave her face unidentifiable to the boss and his Boss.'

He turned slowly towards her, nostrils flaring, as his eyes narrowed. 'What is she doing?'

He stepped forward, eyes wide with rage. "Don't you dare turn your back on me! I ain't finished with you yet!"

He stepped towards her, at first slowly, before picking up speed and going full tilt at her. She quickly finished whatever she was doing with the fallen minion, just as he was about to stomp down on her head. She ducked and rolled away from him, as his foot crushed down on the metal where she was kneeling. he made a deep-throated growl, balling his fists tightly.

"No one just writes me off in the middle of a fight!" He declared in rage. "NO ONE!"

Rainbow grimaced as she stood slowly, trying her best to hide what she had stolen from the other fighter's body, and prepared herself for another attack. She prayed and hoped that this worked. She stood up slowly, before getting into a combat stance, and preparing for his next attack. He ran straight at her, as she began to slightly twirl her fingers about, and prepared for him to get in range. Timing was everything, and if she messed this up, even by a second, it wouldn't work.

She glared at his charging form, and offered silent prayers to whatever deity decided to listen to her today. 'Please, please, let this work!'

He skidded to a stop in front of her, and swung outwards, aiming a straight right punch right to her nose, the fist zooming towards her face. She lifted both hands, revealing a series of shoelaces tied together to form a net between her two hands. As his fist crossed into her personal space, it caught in her make-shift net, as he yelled in surprise. She closed her fists, and crossed one over the other, entrapping him further. She pulled back, yanking his arm towards her shoulder, and practically out of the socket, and throwing him off balance. As he staggered forward, she swung her knee up, striking him in the chest, and knocking the air out of him.

She released her string trap, and kicked him away, the shoe laces hanging off her fingers as she quickly tried to undo them, as he tumbled end over end. He rose up quickly, breathing hard, as he cracked his knuckles.

"I'll admit, I didn't think you had much fight in you, but I like your spirit!" He declared, raising his fists in a fighting stance. "I'm gonna remember this brawl fondly for years to come! Your one of my favorite opponents!"

He ran at her again, grinning manically. "I'm gonna enjoy splattering your brains across the train car!"

Rainbow looked in shock, and prepared for another attack from him, as he ran at her, pulling back his fist to throw a hook. She prepared to defend, but rather then punch, he stopped half way through his swing, and instead swung his leg out in a round house kick, hitting her in the knee with a wet, loud crack. Rainbow yelled out, hands shooting to her damaged knee, before The Attacker swung his hook again, this time slamming into her face. She felt her jaw snap out of place for a moment, and the world spin, as she hit the ground, trying to concentrate through the pain.

"Now that I win, I can get my own Stand, and work my way up!" He declared, toothy grin enveloping his face. "That's when the fun really gets started!"

"You have to win first." Rainbow struggled, getting on her knees as she struggled to breath through her injuries, before turning to face him, eyes burning with rage. "And I'm not done yet!"



Sunset activated Ice Phoenix's fist, the Stand's balled hand striking Applejack in the side of the head, and knocking her into a wall. Thankfully, she was still breathing, but didn't get up again. Next, Fluttershy rushed at her, numerous versions of her Stand flying straight at Sunset. Sunset grimaced, as she pulled away slightly. She had seen what Fluttershy had done to Frozen Mist, and wasn't eager to experience that herself. She sent Ice Phoenix forward, the Stand swinging it's fists and shattering several of the Beautiful Day Stands.

"SUZAKU!" It announced, as Fluttershy narrowed her eyes in annoyance.

Before she could send more of her Stands out, or counter and prepare her counter, Ice Phoenix swung forward, hitting Fluttershy in the face, knocking her out instantly, as she fell to her knees, falling like a sack of potatoes to the ground. She turned, ready to knock out the next two, before seeing Rarity comatose and on the ground. She looked up, to see Twilight with a glazed expression in her eyes and face, as Deep Purple manifested in front of her, eyes focused in rage, and hands raised in front of itself, opened and palms outwards.

Sunset knew she had to finish this one especially fast. Not only had she lost the element of surprise in this fight, but Twilight had a Stand that was, on some level, just as strong as hers in Close combat and more then durable enough to stand toe-to-toe with her without needing to retreat.

'Combined with the extended operation range, it will be able to move around and attack form other directions without problem.' Sunset thought quickly, as the two squared up.

Deep Purple swung a right hook, aimed at Ice Phoenix's head. The orange stand leaned back slightly, dodging the blow, before swinging and uppercut up into Deep Purple's chin. The stand user stumbled back, as Ice Phoenix rushed at Deep Purple again, ready to throw a right hook at it's face. Deep Purple sent a quick jab into ice Phoenix's face, sending it back, followed by a roundhouse kick, swiping out Ice Phoenix's legs, and then Sunset's by proxy.

Sunset was about to hit the ground, but before she could Ice Phoenix lashed out with it's leg, striking the inside of Deep Purple's knee, causing it and it's master to fall to the ground, Twilight yelling in pain. The two hit the ground with a thud, Sunset tucking her head to avoid injury, Twilight covering hers. Sunset shock slightly form her injuries, shaking her head in disbelief and pain, before taking a deep breath and rising to her feet.

'I got to stop him before he escapes, and finish this mission.' She thought determinedly. 'I'll put my friends out cold quick, and make sure he doesn't do this ever again.'

Twilight rose to her feet as well, her knee swollen from the kick, but she didn't seem to mind, ignoring it despite her grimace of agony, and sent Deep Purple at her foe again, hands extended outwards. Sunset's eyes widened, as Ice Phoenix parried every attempted grab from Deep Purple without issue, before both backed away again.

'She's trying to override my brain!' She thought in terror. 'I don't want to get too out of control, but I may have to throw more force into this if Twilight won't stop coming.'

Deep Purple launched another attack, this time, rushing with it's palms, trying to overwhelm Sunset with as many strikes or attacks towards her head as she could. Though Deep Purple had superior range, there was one thing Ice Phoenix had. It quickly leaned away towards one, grabbing Deep Purple's wrist with it's left hand, and swung an open palm right into Deep Purple's neck. Twilight gasped, as she fell over, cold, and Sunset took a deep breath.

"Sorry." She muttered awkwardly, looking around the whole room, nervously. 'No time to dwell on this.'

She turned and ran off towards where Crimson Vision was, looking for any sign of him. He needed to pay for all of this, no matter how difficult he made it.



Rainbow and the Brawler glared at each other, before the Attacker's face broke into a toothy grin. She hated how much he was enjoying this, but she was grateful he didn't have a Stand to call upon. Considering how bloodthirsty he was, she didn't want to imagine how powerful his stand could be once called upon or awakened. 

"Don't try and play tough, Rainbow Dash!" He roared, smiling like a mad man at her, jamming his finger. "I know you're injured. You've got a good poker face, but I ain't fooled!"

Rainbow said nothing, merely grinning and running at him, full tilt, seemingly ignoring her leg injury. Crimson's fighter was taken aback at her for a few minutes, before coming to his senses. She was merely forcing herself along, trying to intimidate him. But he would not be intimidated. Crimson had recruited him to be the muscule, and he would muscule through anything in his path, regardless of Stand or no.

He prepared for her attack, as she jumped at him. He raised a knee, preparing to throw a front kick to hit her in the ribs and knock her out of the way, but her attack never came. In fact, she didn't even come close to him at all. He gasped, as she jumped over him, grinning slightly, as he watched her jump over his head, hit the ground, and roll, all without using her damaged leg, and continued running towards the bike rake.

"Rainbow Dash, you cannot win this!" He yelled at her, as she jumped onto her bike.

"Wanna bet?" She asked with an audacious grin.

An energy sparked and ran through her and bike, as she started it up, getting it free from the bike rake, and rolled it out, before it exploded with a wave of rainbow energy. The Attacker turned his eyes away, as Radar Love came into being through the bike. He turned back, looking on in shock.

"Come on, bud." She taunted. "Still want to have a go?"

He looked at her in shock, and slight terror. He had no Stand, he couldn't hope to win. But Crimson needed him to win, and he'd be damned if he wouldn't give it his all before the end.

"I'm going out in a blaze of glory!!" He shouted. "I'm the scales of justice, and the choir of sweet death!"

He ran at her full tilt, as Rainbow reeved up Radar Love.



Crimson stopped, gasping from his injuries, but cackling to himself in a joy beyond words. He had done what should've been impossible! He had turned the Sunset Team against each other, escaped before Sunset could injure him too badly, and should've taken out Rainbow Dash without much trouble, especially with her lack of a Stand that could be summoned on a whim. If he could just escape and make his way to the forest, it would all be well. He just needed to call up his minion.

He reached into his jacket and pulled out his phone, hitting the speed dial button, as the machine whirred for a few minutes, before he picked it up. Crimson didn't wait, talking immediately.

"Boxer, I escaped Sunset and her team, I'm making my escape." He stated quickly. "Make your escape."

He heard nothing at first, except a loud sound of an engine and tires smashing into meat and bone, crushing whoever was hit immediately, and, just as soon as it started, the sound ended. Crimson blinked quickly, unsure of what to make of the sound, and it's sudden departure, before someone else picked up the phone.

"He's gonna be out for a while, can I take a message?" Rainbow Dash asked sarcastically.

Crimson closed the phone immediately, eyes going wide with rage, as his nostrils flared, fist clenching his phone tightly. He didn't notice someone entering the suite he was currently using.

"This is horrific!" He shouted, throwing it aside. "I needed her out of the picture!"

"It's about to get a whole lot worse." Sunset remarked, as she got closer, within range of both of their stands.

Crimson calmed down, taking a deep breath and recomposing himself. She couldn't be here, not now! He had put her entire team against her, had put so much space between them, how could she catch up to him now?

"Don't make a move Crimson." She ordered, Ice Phoenix appearing beside her, crossing it's arms in an "X", before assuming a combat stance.

He waited for a moment, the two glaring at one another, waiting, before his right hand twitched. Iron Sabbath appeared, already Stand rushing her with it's fists, only for Ice Phoenix, to counter with it's own rush, smashing aside any of the rival Stand's attacks, before uppercutting it and sending both it and it's master into the train car's wall.

"I told you not to move." Sunset said, approaching him.

He grinned, despite his blood and injuries, before Iron Sabbath smashed through the wall with another barrage of punches. She stopped, as he smashed a hole through the train, and jumped out, saluting her, as he hit the ground, rolled away, and stood up far away from the train, as it sped away.

"He escaped, after everything he did." Sunset cursed.

Yet, things were not as finished as she thought. In the rear train car, standing over Crimson's minion's comatose and brutally beaten up and mashed up body, Rainbow looked out the window after hearing the sound of crushing metal, shattered glass, and rushing air, and saw a guy in a torn up, beaten up red suit.

She didn't know why or how, but she knew this had to be the Stand user that had attacked them. Reeving up Radar Love once more, and turning it around, pointing to the very back of the train car's caboose. She had one more guy to beat the stuffing out of before she celebrated, it seemed.



Crimson breathed hard, before pulling out another cellphone, a throwaway, and punched in his numbers. He had escaped. He wanted to laugh, but first thing was first, he needed to prepare for the meet-up with his partner and prepare the finishing touches on their attack.

"Crimson, that you?" The voice from before asked. "Why you using a burner?"

"Long story Azure." He replied, walking through the long grass. "I need you ready soon."

"What for, you comin here?" Azure asked.

"Yes, I escaped Team Sunset, and I'm gonna work my way to you." He explained quickly. "You see, I...."

Before he could finish, something from the train exploded, he ducked slightly, before turning to see the rear of the train smashed apart by Rainbow smashing through it with Radar Love. She flew through the air and crashed down, driving off towards him at high speed, reaching him before he could react. Sunset watched from her own damaged car, smiling at her friend's sudden reappearance.

"Azure, I..." Crimson began.

"Don't think you can escape so easy, Crimson." Rainbow declared, pointing at him from the back of her Stand-Bike. "We're not to bright, but my Team and I got ways of smacking you idiots around."

"Crimson, what's happening?" Azure asked over the phone, as Crimson lowered his phone to his side, summoning Iron Maiden once more. "Crimson?"

He needed to hit her with one quick, powerful strike. Finish this fight before it could even start. He spread his legs wide, taking a combat stance, one hand on his thigh, as Iron Sabbath's body began to spark and shimmer, as Rainbow started up her Radar Love, dirt and gravel flying from under it's wheels. He had one chance of making this work, and he was going to make it!

Sparks and electricity built up in Iron Sabbath, before exploding form it's hands, a torrent of electricity going up one of the phone cables closest to him, traveling through the high wires above them, the long, copper-coated wires sparking and fizzling with energy.

'I can't do much damage on my own, Iron Sabbath can manipulate electricity like that.' He thought with a grin. 'But any sparks I send out can definitely pick up heat real quick.'

A blue bolt burst from the wires, and traveled down, quickly snacking towards the ground, as she sped at him. As she got within a few meters of him, the bolt struck down and hit her in the back. Electricity sparked and fizzled across her body and the bike, smoke rising from it as he grinned in victory.

'This is it!' He thought in joy, body shaking with excitement. 'I've won!'

As he watched however, quite the opposite occurred. The electricity sparked and fizzled around her body, before dispersing around her, and she drove on without much thought. He recoiled in surprise and horror. His main attack had failed, but how? In the few seconds before she could make contact, he analyzed her and her stand, before spotting something in her that wasn't mentioned. She was wearing a jumpsuit of sorts.

It was the same color as her Stand, glowed with the same energy. It explained many things, such as her ability to travel at high speeds without getting aboslutely destroyed by the friction such speeds caused, and immunity to his electrical attacks. He took a deep breath, before placing Iron Sabbath in front of himself, to prepare his final attack.

Radar Love jumped through the air, engine roaring, as he sent Iron Sabbath at her, fists disappearing into a blur. Radar Love smashed into the Stand, crushing and pushing it into its master, before grinding the tire into them and sending them into the ground. Iron Sabbath continued to fight, punching feebly with it's right arm, it's pinned under her tire, as she continued on with her attack.

Crimson's eyes rolled back into his head, as he dropped his cell phone, and struggled against her a little longer, before his Stand vanished, and his body fell to the ground, out cold, a pool of blood all around him. Rainbow looked down at his body for a moment, not comfortable with just how...gone...he looked.

"Crimson?! Crimson!?!" The voice on the phone called, as Rainbow looked down at it. "Answer me man!"

She shook it off, looking back at Crimson one last time. "Sorry."

She drove off towards the train, before she lost it completely. No matter how much all this fighting and brutality bothered her, she couldn't let it distract her form getting back to her friends, and looking out for their best interests and well-being.



Sunset sat amongst the group as Fluttershy healed them up, again. The train car was practically emptied now, most of the injured crew and people being moved to other areas of the train, as they hashed out their game plan. Applejack held an icepack on the side of her jaw, Rarity holding one on her arm, and another tied to her leg, as the rest nursed similar injuries.

"Crimson was talking with someone before I got him." Rainbow explained, as the train went along. "Someone probably waiting near the mansion or something."

"Then we'll have to deal with him or however many others are with him." Twilight said,  rubbing the bruise on her neck gently.

"We should ready up for whatever this Emperor has ready for us," Sunset said, before looking around. "and get off at the next stop. We'll be behind, but we need to leave before people start asking questions."

"Right." The whole group said at once.



Night fell as they got off the train, but what was most important was what was happening in the woods, not far from the private abode of the Secret Emperor. A man stood in the woods, clutching his phone in anger and rage. His eyes were wide and bloodshot as he stomped through the woods, visibly shaking with rage. A larger man, covered mostly in shadow except for his blood red eyes, looked at him passively as he silently raged in the night.

"Are you alright Azure Spark?" The man asked, seemingly ignoring his companion's rage.

"They got him! They killed Crimson Vision!" Azure shouted. "I can't believe this! He was the one I trusted most in this organization!"

"Unfortunate." The shadowed man said coldly, as he stood up from his tree he was leaning on and approached. "You know what you have to do now."

The man looked up at him, uncertainty, as the Emperor laid a cold, unfeeling hand on his shoulder. "You and Nix must avenge Crimson's fall, and the others of your comrades that have fallen, and finish these seven. Understand?"

"I don't need her." He snarled, standing up straight. "For this mission, I'll finish all of them on my own!"

The Emperor stepped away slightly, heading back towards the shadows. "I am certain you will. Such rage will drive you where others would fall. Remember that Azure."

He disappeared into the night, as a sickly grey glow surrounded Azure, and his six Stands manifested around him.
