Later, Trixie's house.

Trixie placed the briefcase on her bed, she still couldn't believe it, the Mare-Do-Well's suit was right in front of her.

She opened the briefcase fully and took the suit out, a note that Trixie hadn't seen fell from the suit as she removed it from its container.

It said, "you have been chosen to take up my mantle, become the protector the Canterlot City needs."

"Cool," Trixie thought to herself, "Mare-Do-Well chose me to carrying on her legacy."

She turned her attention from the note to the suit.

"I can't wait to try the suit on," Trixie said, as she picked suit and began putting it on.

The suit fitted her perfectly, almost like the person who wore it before her had been a teenager like her.

"and now for the final piece," Trixie thought as she prepared to put on the mask.

With that, Trixie put on the mask, "this suit fits me like a glove," she said, as she looked at herself in the mirror, "almost like I was born to wear it."

After admiring herself for another minute, Trixie was about to put the suit away when she suddenly had an idea.

"How about I take this suit for a test drive," she thought, looking out her bedroom window, "time for Mare-Do-Well to return."

Now determined, Trixie walked over to her bedroom window, open it and climbed out on the roof of her house.

"Fear not Canterlot City," she said, "your protector is here."

With that, Trixie activated the suit's wrist mounted grappling line and swung off into the night.



Elsewhere, in an alleyway a mugging was in progress, one man pointed a gun at a woman while his partner made sure that the woman's husband didn't call the police or call for help. 

"Alright, lady," The lead mugger smiled, "just hand over your money and nobody gets hurt."

"And don't bother thinking anyone is coming to save you," the mugger's partner added, as the woman handed over her handbag, "all the major heroes are too far away to help you."

When they were done the two muggers beat a hasty exit with the stolen goods.

Once they were far enough away, they inspected what they had stolen.

"Alright," the lead mugger exclaimed, "American Express card, never leave home without it."

The two continued riffling through the stolen handbag.

Suddenly a voice, seemingly from nowhere, spoke, "Return those stolen goods immediately, you despicable bandits!"

"And who are you?" The lead mugger retorted.

"I'll tell you who I am," the voice replied, a cloud of smoke suddenly appearing, "I AM THE TERROR THAT STALKS CRIMINALS IN THE NIGHT, I AM THE CLASSIC ROCK BAND THAT NEVER RETIRES, I AM THE MARE-DO-WELL!"

From out of the smoke, the owner of the voice, Mare-Do-Well appeared in front of the two muggers.

"I won't ask again," Mare-Do-Well said, "Give back those stolen goods."

"Or what?" the lead mugger asked, "you think we're scared of some teen dress-up?"

"Yeah," the mugger's partner added, sarcastically, "oh no, we are SO scared of a teenage girl trying to play Batman. I know Batman. I once ratted out a counterfeiter to Batman and YOU aren't any Batman."

"Very Well," Mare-Do-Well responded, "don't say I didn't warn you criminal scum."

Before Mare-Do-Well could act, the two muggers draw their guns and opened fire.

Mare-Do-Well managed to drive behind a nearby dumpster, none of the bullets had hurt her thanks to the bulletproof material in the suit.

"Come on, come on," she said, as she began to look through the pockets in her utility belt, "there's got to be something in here that can help."

Finally, after a little more searching, Trixie found a small pellet-looking object.

When the muggers stopped to reload, she chucked the pellet at the muggers.

As the muggers reacted in confusion at what had been thrown at them, a fine pink mist was released from the pellet.

For a moment, nothing happened, then the two muggers began sneezing uncontrollably which caused them to drop their guns and their loot.

"Sneezing power pellet," Trixie remarked, "nice."

Before the two muggers could react, Mare-Do-Well knocked the two out cold.

After which, Mare-Do-Well took some rope from her utility belt and proceeded to tie up the two muggers along with retrieving the stolen handbag and returning it to its rightful owner.

"Thank you," the woman who the handbag belonged too said, as Mare-Do-Well handed the handbag back, "thank you so much!"

"Think nothing of it, citizen," Mare-Do-Well replied, "I am but your friendly neighbourhood protector, Canterlot City's defender of justice, the thing that criminals check under the bed for at night, I am the Mare-Do-Well!"

With that, there was a puff of smoke and Mare-Do-Well vanished.



Moments later.

Trixie stopped, after she had gotten a good distance away and looked out over the city.

"Let this be a sign to all those who lurk in the shadows and prey upon the innocent," she said, to herself, "Let terror pierce their blackened hearts, for though they may flee to the ends of the Earth; though they may fight with all their might; no evildoer shall escape or defeat THE MARE-DO-WELL!"
