Inside her apartment, Sunset Shimmer was busy with a podcast. Wallflower Blush was by her side.
"And, that's it for today's show." Sunset said. "I hope you had as much fun as we did."
"That's true." Wallflower added. "This is Wallflower Blush and Sunset Shimmer saying 'Ta Ta for now."
"And, don't forget. Me and the rest of the Rainbooms will be performing at Canterlot State Park this coming weekend. Bye."
Sunset turned off her equipment. And, grabbed a couple of water bottles from her fridge. She gave one to Wallflower.
"Thanks for helping me with my podcast, Wallflower." Sunset said happily. 
"Not a problem." Wallflower replied. "I kept being told I should get out more. Can't stay shy and hidden forever."
"I agree to that."
As the two girls continue to relax. A thought and to Wallflower's head. "Sunset, are you still thinking of your adventute?"
"Adventure?" Sunset gasped. "What adventure are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about how you helped the COPS chase down that road hog: Turbo Tutone."
"Oh, that. Yeah, I still think of that. I felt very proud helping Highway get that charity money back."
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Sunset went over to see who's paying her a visit. It could be Twilight or Principal Celestia.  When she answered the door it was neither. It was a black haired man wearing a navy blue shirt, sky blue pants, and black boots.
"Hello, Sunset Shimmer." The visitor greeted. "I've been wanting to meet you."
"Really?" Sunset replied. "Wow."
Wallflower Blush was a little nervous. Sunset comforted her. "Wallflower, this is Roger Wilco from the LAPD. Codename: Airwave. Specialty: Communications Officer."
The man known as Airwave saw the green haired maiden. "Miss Wallflower Blush. A pleasure to meet you too."
Wallflower Blush soon blushed. "Aw."
"What brings you here, Officer Airwave?" Sunset asked.
"I've tuned in to that podcast you hosted." Airwave replied. "I must say, you have a unique personality."
"You really think so?"
"I do. You rose up greatly from your days as a mean bully. I've done my own research."
Sunset is impressed with anyone praising her for what she is today. Monday, Sunset was just walking down the hall to head for her next class. Just then, she was approached by Mr. Cranky Doodle. 
"Miss Shimmer," Cranky Doodle said, "somebody is trying to disgrace you again."
She was called into Principal Celestia's office. Soon the princess played a video of some person in a dark green trench coat and fedora. He also wore sunglasses so nobody can recognize him. 
"Do not trust Sunset Shimmer." The figure said in a deep male voice. "You must only look at her as a She-Demon!"
"That video has been played only on certain phones and other computers." Celestia explained. "Somebody is trying to destroy your reputation as a reformed student."
"Who'd want to do that?" Sunset asked. 
Just then, her phone rang. She answered it, and was stunned who it is.
"Officer Airwave." Sunset said. "What can I do for you?"
"I studied that little video you were watching." Airwave said, donning his communications equipment. "It turns out it was made outside of the school."
"Outside of the school? Where could this creep be then?"
Mr. Cranky Doodle soon had an idea. "There's an old shack across the street from the school. Maybe this mystery man is hiding there."
Sunset went back to her phone. "Did you hear that, Airwave?"
"I did." Airwave replied. "I'll meet you there."
Vice Principal Luna turned to Sunset. "Go ahead, Miss Shimmer. Your reputation is at stake."
Minutes later, Sunset and Airwave were at the cabin. It's made of old but sturdy wood.
"Hmm." Airwave said. "Whoever the perpetrator is, probably picked this place because even though it's old, it's very strong."
"Yeah." Sunset replied. "But, why pick on me?"
Suddenly, the door opened. And, out came a brown haired man. He wore a blue jacket, navy pants, and black shoes. The duo saw who it was and were surprised. The man was equally surprised to see them.
"Brannigan!" Sunset gasped. "Who let you out of jail?"
"Surprised?" Brannigan said. "You should be. When Berserko and Rock Krusher broke out of jail, I decided to slither out with them."
"Why did you decided to pick on me?"
"You had a terrifying past, Sunset Shimmer. Being a brute on campus,  being the target of the Anon-A-Miss conspiracy, it's all too juicy to pass up."
"So, you decided to disgrace this young lady." Airwave figured. "You knew she tried to put all of that behind her."
Sirens were heard at a distance. Airwave gave some information. "Before we came here, I asked Miss Celestia to call in the local police."
"It's over, Brannigan." Sunset informed. "It's back to jail for you."
Getting nervous, Brannigan rushed them both. "Out of my way!"
The crafty criminal left the school grounds before the police arrived. Recovering, Sunset got upset. Fortunately, Airwave was there to comfort her. In her office, Principal Celestia was studying the information Airwave dropped off.
"Hard to believe, dear sister." Luna said. "Brannigan escaped the campus before the police arrived."
"Not to worry, Luna." Celestia replied. "He'll be caught someday. Just like he was caught being Big Boss's spy in the office of Mayor Davis."
"I recently talked to Mayor Davis. And, kept him informed of our students battling the Big Boss gang. He's very impressed."
Meanwhile, in a hidden location, Big Boss read some useful information. 
"So, the Rainbooms are performing at Canterlot State Park this weekend." Big Boss read. "A perfect opportunity to unleash something those seven girls never expected."
In walks a bald man wearing a lavender jacket and red vest over a yellow shirt. He also wore blue pants and white shoes. This man is Squeeky Kleen: Big Boss's man servant. 
"You wanted to see me, Big Boss?" Squeeky asked.
"I certainly did, Squeaky." Big Boss replied. "Get our big surprise and one of my special suits ready. Crime's a wastin'!"
