//------------------------------// // Epilogue // Story: Equestria Girls: Rage and Fear // by Time Agent pony //------------------------------// The next day. Flash stepped through the doors of CHS, since yesterday he had manage to patch things up with his band members and everyone he had ether hurt verbally or physically, while drunk on the power of the red lantern. He had also, on the advice of Amadeus Cho, started seeing Leonard Skivorski, Jr. a.k.a. Doc Samson for weekly anger control sessions. Midnight had done the same, she had apologised to Twilight, Rainbow Dash, the rest of Twilight's friends and her friends along with reporting Manchester Black, Aftershock and Mortar along with Komodo and Hardball to Principal Celestia. Twilight and her friends had accepted Midnight's apology and admitted that they had been at fault for not attempting to help Midnight with her powers in first place. Komodo had been the only one of the bullies who felt sorry for what she had done, Flash had forgiven her and the two had become friends, Komodo had even joined Flash's band as their bass player. Twilight had recommend that Midnight join one of the school's power controlling groups so she could be among people in the same position she had been in and pass on what she had learned to others. As well as that, Twilight had reached out to other magic users like: Doctor Fate, Zatanna, Daimon Hellstrom and Doctor Voodoo and was considering sending Midnight to Strange Academy, a school set up by Doctor Strange to help people with magical powers and backgrounds. As for Madame Rouge, she, seemingly had been taken by the authorities, but in actuality she had been taken by agents of H.I.V.E. in disguise. And now she was at the mercy of the head of H.I.V.E. Sebastian Blood a.k.a. Brother Blood. "You failed to bring the red or yellow lanterns to us," Brother Blood said, "in H.I.V.E. we do not tolerate failure." "I was unprepared," Madame Rouge replied, "the amount of allies and abilities they had was not something that was forese.." "I am not interested in your excuses," Brother Blood interrupted, "you failed and failure will not be tolerated." Madame Rouge was about to argue when a sharp pain shoot through her mind preventing her from speaking, it was from Brother Blood who was using his psychic abilities on her. "However," Brother Blood continued, as Madame Rouge struggled against his mental powers, "you are too valuable an asset to eliminate." "Therefore," he carried on, releasing Madame Rouge from his mental grip, "your position as H.I.V.E.'s top agent will be filled by another more reliable individual." "And who would that be?" Madame Rouge asked, as she recover from Brother Blood's mental attack on her. "Lets just say that he's a master of completing tasks," Brother Blood replied. From out of the shadows, stepped Anthony "Tony" Masters a.k.a. Taskmaster. "Hopefully Mister Taskmaster, will be able to carry out missions effectively," Brother Blood said, "and hopefully he can teach you to be more effective at completing simple objectives." "Yes sir," Madame Rouge replied, as she glared at Taskmaster, she felt insulted that H.I.V.E. had chosen someone like him as their new top agent. "Hey, Flash," Sunset said, as Flash headed for class, "about yesterday I can explain." "You mean when you kissed me?" Flash asked. Sunset was so surprised that Flash remembered her kissing him, the only things that came out of her mouth was non-sensual jabbering. "Wh...what," she replied, as she tried to recover from the shock, "kiss? Miss? Abyss? Dismiss?" "It's OK," Flash smiled, "you don't need to explain, but.." "But?" Sunset asked. "If you wanted to go on a date with me," Flash answered, "you only needed to ask." Sunset laughed a little, "So what about a movie tonight?" she asked, finally. "Sounds goods," Flash smiled. Holding hands the two headed for class, the seeds of a blossoming relationship forming between them. Elsewhere. "You Ok?" Twilight asked, as she and Midnight gathered the appropriate school supplies for their first lesson. "Yeah," Midnight replied, "In fact, I've never felt better." "Thats good," Twilight continued, "because I've got some great news." "Really?" Midnight asked, "what?" "I got a text from Shining Armour yesterday," Twilight responded, "he and Dean Cadance are beginning to plan their wedding." "Wow," Midnight replied, smiling, "thats wonderful." "I was going to tell you," Twilight added, "but then we had that trouble yesterday." "Well," Midnight responded, still smiling, "I'm glad you waited." The two continued smiling as they headed for class.
