City of Progress

Ponyville, the City of Progress, once a small quiet community was now a bustling city that grew with each passing day. Under a new act passed by Princess Celestia, Luna, Cadence and Twilight, a new type of law enforcement ponies called Enforcers were created, these Enforcers job was to maintain the peace and serenity in the large cities as well as capturing any criminals that emerged in the new day and age. Part of the cities growth had been thanks to Sweet Apple Acres and another part was from a war that had happened, it had been many years since that war though and peace was reigning again.

It was a quiet day in Ponyville as the Enforcers made their through their shifts as they did day in and day out, today was no exception or so they thought. The cackling was heard throughout the city and ponies started running around screaming that they were told to panic, doing their jobs the Enforcers slowly regained peace over the city until they saw the message spray-painted in bright pink on the wall of the town hall.

"Everypony, panic!"

The Enforcers quickly took control of the area searching for the criminal but had no luck as the voice faded away, they hoped it would be a one off event but deep down they knew the new criminal would be back but they would be waiting for them, whoever they were.

Over the next few days more graffiti was found saying the same thing with the cackling not far behind. Citizens were starting to become unsettled as each time they went out they had more and more chance of bumping into the criminal. After a week of these taunts reports started coming in. Sighting of a white pony with a blue mane and pink eyes, who was always carrying weapons and laughing when she was seen. Slowly the Enforcers started to gather information on this new criminal and after two weeks of this the Ponyville Enforcers had decided that they had, had enough, so they sent out a request for help, a request that got given to me, I mean after all I am the best Enforcer there is in Equestria.

My name is Vi and this is about me and how I tried to take on the Loose Cannon who gained the nickname of Jinx.

My board was covered with the little information I had about Jinx as well as a few blurred photos of her. Sighing I sat at my desk and rubbed my temples, this was impossible, how could somepony as loud and as obnoxious as her just disappear without a trace, then reappear at will to cause more chaos. What's more is that she loves to play games, especially with me. Facing the board again I saw her latest message to me, a time, date and location, daring me to catch her when she attacks the Royal Bank of Equestria, but I will be waiting for her, and will take her down if it's the last thing I do so this city can rest peacefully once again.

“Fishbones? Check, Pow Pow? Check, Zap? check.” The sing song voice said as she checked all her weapons ready for her showdown with Vi, the Enforcer of Equestria and her younger long lost sister, but Vi didn't know that of course, all she knew was she had a sister. Blowing a tuft of mane from her face Jinx sat down and started recording some more of her song, a present to be left for Vi in her office, one she knew Vi would listen to and be more determined to catch her. Sighing Jinx stood up grabbing Pow-Pow and started firing off dozens upon dozens of rounds to help ease her boredom. That was Jinx's main problem she got bored too easily and Ponyville was the perfect place to get a laugh and not be bored, especially after Vi started chasing her down.

As the clock struck 7pm a pony could be seen jumping from building to building towards the Equestrian Royal Bank with her plan already set in motion, she knew Vi would be there waiting for her and all she had to do was let Vi chase her and blow the building on her way out adding to the insult of not been caught all the gold would still be there.

As the last of the ponies filed out of the bank for the day, Vi sat smiling and watching the entrance, this was the night that she would catch the criminal Jinx without a hitch in her plan. Jinx would turn up and set off some sleeping gas then Vi would arrest her so she could be charged for her crimes against the city and Equestria. At that moment the clock stuck 7pm and the bank closed for the night. Only half an hour until would arrive and another 15 minutes on top of that to apprehend her.

Vi was ready for this and so was Jinx, only time would tell as to who the victor would be though.
Suddenly a voice broke the silence as Jinx stepped out of the shadows towards Vi

"Looks like you turned up after all and here I was thinking I was going to be bored out of my mind until I triggered the alarm." Jinx said teasing Vi.

"Hold it right there Criminal Scum or I'll shoot." Vi spat back hoping to get Jinx to give up.

With a grim smile Jinx replied to her law enforcement sister "You're starting to bore me."

"You're Crazy!" Vi said back.

Laughing Jinx responded "You think I'm crazy? You should see my sister!"

"You have a sister?" Vi asked back confused.

"Whatever, let's just start shooting!" Jinx said before running off into the bank to start the chase of a century, one that would ultimately change one of the sisters lives forever.
