One day at Havencraft…
"Dylan, I'm very proud of you. You're making tremendous progress. You need to continue therapy but I know you'll be great out there."
"I owe it all to you, Dr. Elena. Thanks.
As Elena heads back into the building, Plasma conjures a small bolt of electricity on a phone booth and makes a call.
"I'm out!"
Excellent, Dylan. I'm so pleased. On the other side of the phone was Madame Mayhem.
"You're the person who wrote to me in Havencroft, Doctor Saddles."
Given your special case. An interest that should benefit both.
"Yeah, I love the idea of double team you know who!"
"Double team? Surely, we can do better. Busy tonight?" She asked Regina as she, Slick, and Tusk were lifting weights.
"TC indicated we were available," Regina told her.
Later the night, Raptor, who was put in charge of dinner for the convicts was headed to their cells, one to Iron Bull and one to Sandstorm.
"Are you kidding me?! A sandwich!? This has to be a joke, right?! Raw silicates! Feathers, I don't eat food anymore!" He threw the sandwich at the door.
"Just save room for dessert, Solar a la mode," Raptor smiled.
Just outside of the prison island, Plasma retracted his mask and began to short the generator.
Two guards took notice and ran straight to him.
"Freeze!" one of them said until Plasma fired a thunder blast at both of them knocking them out, then fired another one at the generator destroying it, causing the power to short, which the cells that Iron Bull and Sandstorm were in powered down.
"Do not approach the wall... or..." the voice stammered until it was silent and the alarm came on.
"Finally she shuts up!" Iron Bull exclaimed, rammed right through it then Sandstorm emerged on the other side.
"Heck yeah!" Both high-five each other as they make their way to other cells and free The Elites, Raptor, and Madame Mayhem, and head outside.
"Stop right there!" A prison guard said as they fired voltage lines at Iron Bull who felt a little jolt.
"Tickles," Iron Bull exclaimed as plowed right through them on the other side Plasma blew up the wall to see them.
"Ahh, Dylan it's good to see you," She said.
"No offense, doc, I go by Plasma now," Plasma pointed out.
"I understand completely if you would do the honors?"
Plasma charged Madame Mayhem's power core causing it to glow, then a helicopter came down showing Tiger Claw's chopper.
"Hello, gents," He greeted as he and the chauffeur handed the gear to most of them.
"Okay, Slick, Tusk, with me. Regina, stick with these mooks for now, the last boat on the island was that way," Tiger Claw said as Slick and Tusk boarded.
The chopper took off as the villains got on the boat away from Canterlot Prison.
…
…
"Man," Sunset woke up, "Gotta love these lazy Saturday mornings."
She looked at her phone and saw it was 12:16.
"Or noon's, better get up," Sunset as she reached for the black suit only for it to come on her. "Wow, this alien suit is a timesaver."
Then she put her regular clothes on top of it.
"How can you ever live without you?" She asked then headed out.
…
…
"Hey, Brisk! How's it been?" Sunset said to him only for her to give her the cold shoulder. "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong?! You take pictures of Solar stealing the alien- -life form instead of calling the cops! And yet you wondered what's wrong with me?!"
"Gee…"
"Save it, this is who you are, Sunny, a user. You do want to get ahead despite the fact you hurt the people who are close to you. What you need is a taste of your own medicine and something you care about taken away from you. The problem is, I'm not sure you care about anything."
Brisk left on his motorcycle, leaving Sunset with a glum look on her face.
Hours later…
"Oh great. Perfect. Wonderful. I lost my oldest friend," Solar said. "Who needs him? I got the cool new suit!"
Solar then saw police sirens heading to Canterlot Theater.
"And a little something for me to blow some steam off," Solar as she followed them.
At the Canterlot Theater…
"It's so nice of mom, let us have a day together, Twilight," Flurry Heart said to Twilight.
Then both heard sirens as police cars around and set up a roadblock.
"What with the cops?"
"There was a breakout at Canterlot Prison, six of Canterlot City's worst have escaped and all of them want payback," Twilight told her.
"Freeze, Bit!"
They all heard stomping then they fired their blasters at Iron Bull but it had no effect and ran through it.
"Isn't that the jerk who threatened Applejack and Sunset a few months back?" Twilight wondered.
"Well, well," Solar appeared right in front of him. "Iron Bull. I knew there was no prison wide enough to hold you."
"Wide enough, funny,".
"I knew they taught trades in the slammer but sense a humor?" Then Solar's head flashed. "Whoa, usually they don't get the flashes unless the bad guys in plain sight."
Then out of nowhere a large sand fist came at her and punched her.
"Sorry, Sunshine. Was I supposed to wait my turn?" Sandstorm asked.
"Oh, you two are partners again," Solar groaned.
"Just us?" Sandstorm implied as Discharge came in.
"You're not getting off that easy," Discharge smirked.
Solar looked up to see Raptor landed, Plasma slid across a panel, and Madame Mayhem leaped over some cars to join her fellow villains.
"Now them, any last words?" She asked.
"Homina, homina, homina, come to mind," Solar gulped.
The six baddies prepared to approach the hero, Twilight stood in front of them.
"Little girl, you may want to step aside."
"So, you can attack her, over my dead…"
"Miss, I'll be found, please get to safety," Solar said to them.
"Plow through them!" Iron Bull urges but Mayhem waves him off.
"Look like the show's starting!" Solar grabbed both Twilight and Flurry's hands and took them inside the theater. "You okay?"
"I think so…"
Then a hair tentacle grabbed Solar.
"Go! Through the theater! Get far away!"
"Yes! Run along, now ladies," Madame Mayhem said as the two girls headed into the theater.
"Pull!" Discharge called.
Madame tossed Solar in the air Discharge blasted her with a shockwave which made her land near a car then Plasma tried to shock her, but Solar avoided it.
Then Iron Bull tried to ram her, but Solar jumped over him and was in the air.
"Only six. Huh? Didn't invite Elf or Nightcrawler to the dance," Solar said. "Need to get some altitude and deal with them one…"
Then Raptor zipped by her, but Solar was on his blind spot.
"First things, let's ground this bird!" Solar punched the back but winced in pain.
"Nice try, I already picked up on your tricks, my tech is protected by reinforced steel!" Black Falcon crashed her into a wall.
"None of your former methods will work on us a second time!" Madame Mayhem grabbed and slammed onto the ground then threw her to Sandstorm.
"And the Wondercolts, win the pennant!"
Sandstorm created a bat and swung her into a wall she fell on the ground groaning a bit.
"Hate to admit it, but I can't beat these guys together, time to bail!"
Solar blinded all of them with a bright flash which allowed her to escape to the sewers.
"Not again!" Iron Bull growled.
"Let her run, she is delaying her demise."
Later the criminals were at a fancy restaurant that they broke into and had dinner.
"A toast to Solar's culminating defeat," Raptor said as he held up a glass.
"Defeat?" Discharge asked. "Seems a job ain't done till it's done."
"I was topside, you yahoos, lost her when we were blinded. The next time I see her I'll smash her myself!" Iron Bull exclaimed.
"Man, what's with you and revenge? I want a big score!" Sandstorm said.
"This obsession with her is a mere annoyance, it's Mercer who earns my wrath."
"If that's how I want to play it, I'll call TC, and see if it's okay to ditch you...!"
"What are you doing!?" Plasma stopped all of them. "I need a cure but the only way to get what we want is to trust the doctor."
"Thank you, Plasma, yes, we are frustrated but she will be crushed."
"How? She's long gone by now!"
"We simply force a situation where she has to play the hero, she'll come, she can't help herself, check please."
"It's on the house," The waiter said.
"How kind of you and wise."
At Sunset's place, Sunset was lying on her bed, when her phone rang showing Platinum Writer's number.
"What does he want now? Probably to yell at me about not getting pictures of the bozo beating, that we won't need." Sunset hangs up. "Oh, I hope Twilight gets home safe and sound. And I hope I could wake up to find that Mayhem and her goons are in jail." Sunset fell asleep.
Hours later the radio came on saying the Savage Six have left Canterlot Square and now are holding hostages from The Horseshoe Bank at Canterlot Park. Sunset waved her hand as the suit came on her.
…
Solar was flying to the bank, Raptor tackled her from her blindside.
"She's back!"
Solar fell to the ground and immediately Sandstorm grabbed by the leg and slammed her into the wall then chucked where she got blasted by Plasma and then punched by Iron Bull. She landed on the ground then Discharge zapped her then Madame Mayhem held Solar in the air.
"Well you call it, doc. I guess some folk are too dumb to live," Discharge said to her.
…
…
"Iron Bull, you win the coin toss. Will you crush his skull or impale her heart with your horns?" Madame Mayhem asked.
"Impale! Impale sounds good!"
Solar looked up and glared at him.
"What's the matter creep? Too scared to crack a joke?"
Iron Bull charges at her but Solar telepathy creates a magic sphere and fires at him which blindsided his eyes and then blinded Madame Mayhem in the eyes.
"I got them!" Plasma fires a thunderbolt but sends both of them to the park.
...
...
"Shatter, Dana secured the hostages in the bank," Shining said. "Colt, Ironstash with me."
As the police headed into the park, Mayhem did a seismic blast at Solar but dodged it and jumped over a Discharge's blast she went underneath but not before dragging Madame Mayhem down which made Sandstorm punch her and lose his solid form.
"I'm going to fry you for that freak!"
Solar duck from both Discharge and Plasma attacks. She fired two flash orbs which blinded them and then used her magic and slammed both their faces on the beam. Then Solar got punched by Sandstorm as Solar regained her footing.
Sandstorm created a giant ax and charged forward then Raptor swooped down and charged at her. Solar pulled herself out of danger causing the two villains to crash into each other. Then Iron Bull grabbed her and tossed her into the air Solar lunged back and brought her shield back at Iron Bull knocking him off balance. Both Discharge and Plasma got up and fired at her, forcing her to dodge, just as they were doing that, she threw her Sticky Ball in their arms, catching them off guard, which allowed her to trip the two up just as Iron Bull turned around and saw her.
Solar motioned him to bring it which made him snap.
"That's it!"
He charged right at her forcing Solar to dodge him, then blinded his face with a magic blast Discharge and Plasma got and fired their beams only that Solar became intangible, and that hit Iron Bull instead.
"Oh, man!"
"Dang it! Keep shooting!"
Both continue to fire at her which makes Solar get behind Iron Bull
"Move in, I got you!"
Discharge told Plasma to move forward and fire at their blindside, but Solar threw Iron Bull on him.
"Uh-oh!" Plasma exclaimed as Iron Bull was on top of her.
Discharge blasted Solar but avoided the first but the second one made her fall to the sewer hatch.
"What the heck happened to Bit?" Sandstorm asked as he and Madame Mayhem and Raptor came topside.
"Sandstorm, help Plasma," Madame Mayhem said.
"Get him off!" Plasma said then nearly shocked Sandstorm.
"I'm trying to turn down the juice!"
"Drat she's going to escape again!" Raptor lunging at her prevents Solar from running.
"Raptor, move! I don't want to take out another of our own!" Discharge shouted.
Raptor moved, giving Discharge a clear shot to fire a shockwave at her which she dodged and then got a Raptor's back.
"Stop, I will not stand for this…"
Solar pulled the headgear off Raptor's head forcing him to the ground then grabbed one of his claws
"Now I got you!" Discharge charged her laser only for Solar to throw a claw at it and hit one of her blasters, shorting it out. "What in blazes!?"
Sandstorm came right at her but Solar dodged Discharge's shockwave blast that tore through her then Solar used her magic to pull Discharge making her thrust into Sandstorm which turned him into a pile of dust Solar punched Discharge then ripped one of the gauntlets to keep Sandstorm at bay.
"Try to dodge this!" Discharge came right at her with a punch but Solar created a barrier that caused an explosion and sent him back.
"I knew you were getting serious when you stopped cracking your pathetic little jokes," Madame Mayhem came out of nowhere and captured her. "Just as I knew you spent your stamina fighting my allies. Leaving me to deliver the coup de grace, Apologies Iron Bull were doing this my way!"
Madame Mayhem flung her to the ground where the hero got back up.
"Your new suit intrigues me. I'm going to enjoy peeling it away for further study."
Mayhem fired her laser at her but Solar bounced it back at her knocking her out then Solar picked up the villainess.
"If I ever see you again, you're dead!" Solar coldly as she lets go and flies off.
The next day, Sunset woke up having no idea what she did last night.
"Man, how long was I asleep for?" Sunset looked at her phone and it was 5:00 "I've been asleep for nine hours. If I slept for that long, why am I beat?"
Sunset stretched herself and noticed a scar on her arm.
"I don't remember taking this much of a beating at Canterlot Square and how on earth I got this scar from."
She went outside to check the paper and was shocked to see the headline.
"Solar stops Deadly Six! Photos by Sunset? I don't remember any of this. It's like I slept through the whole fight. This wasn't me wearing the suit. It was the suit that was wearing my body. This alien is like some kind of symbiote."
Still, what do we care? Shimmer gets paid for the photos and the Six were put down hard. What else matters?
"Sunset?" Rainbow came to her on her skateboard. "You didn't answer your phone yesterday, what happened?"
"Been in a deep sleep, did I miss anything?"
"Yeah, Twilight got a heart attack and went to the hospital," Rainbow told her, which made Sunset gasp.
