Chapter 1: Dasheresque, Ready for Action
We see static before seeing Phobos's claw that held a sign that said 'Few or Something Years Later!' (while we hear the Dasheresque theme song); The mare known as Dasheresque, who is played once more by Rainbow Dash, driving her car through the mean streets (which we can see as the mare is in her car that doesn't work and the fact that Spike, Snips and Snails are coming back and forth by carrying fake trees).
Ever since Momeresque has left her for unknown reasons (unless you folks has decided to skip the prologue), Dasheresque has been on her own, fighting off crime and taking on anyone lame enough to get in her way.
"Ring, ring," Dasheresque made some ringing noises, "Ah, my car phone!" The mare picks up her car phone (AKA an unplugged VCR) and speaks into it. "You got Dasheresque. Who it this is?"
"Dasheresque; It's me, Tardis, your partner." Tardis (played once again by Time Turner) is heard on the other end (though it's just him calling from off screen). "Stop rampaging through town and get back to the office."
"Oh, yes, leave it to me, you know. I will be back in too shakes of a pony's...ZOOM!
Rainbow pretends to be turning via screeching noises as the camera moves a bit, with a fake hubcap seen rolling.
------------
Dasheresque came into her office, her kind of home away from home. Tardis, an Earth pony stallion wearing stallion, was waiting. She said, "Welcome back, Dasheresque, buddy. Say...how did that space program went?"
"Ugh! Don't bring that up! I got kicked out by Professor Egghead!" Dasheresque exclaims with a groan. "Anyway, what's the big news?"
"News? Err..."
"The news of the rulers from another kingdom visiting, Time Turner," Rainbow is heard whispering from offstage to Time Turner, who has trouble remembering his lines.
"Right, right," Time Turner whispers before going back into character, "The news of the rulers from another kingdom visiting, Time Turner, " Rainbow is heard groaning offstage. His friend notices the mare sighing at a picture of herself with another mare. "Who is that? That's the special friend you knew?"
"Yes...I was with her, but something...came up. I had to leave her in Eaglypt." Dasheresque said grimly as she remembers what she herself was doing not soo long ago...
--------------
We see Spike holding a sign that said 'Flashback to Yesterday'. We see the place of Maris, a land of romance and lame mimes (which is the bridge in Ponyville). Dasheresque is wondering through town with a mare with black sunglasses, a black dress and has a black Mane and tail (of course, it is Fluttershy with the mane and tail being a wig and a tail cover).
"I got to admit, I enjoy spending this time in Maris with you, Dasheresque." The mare known as Beautiful Fillymore said with a smile. "I wish we will do it all the time."
"Yeah, all the time," Dasheresque said while nuzzling Beautiful with a nod.
"Listen, as you made a thought...about my special offer?"
"Oh yes, that, I made some thought...of it. Sometime now..."
"And," Beautiful Fillymore asks Dasheresque with a hopeful smile. "Want to..."
"Wait, hang on...ring, ring!" Dasheresque said, pretending to hear her phone ring and speaking into it, "Yes, uh-huh; Right. Whoa! Really; all right, Dasheresque there!" The hero hangs up quickly.
"Is a mission?"
"Yes...a bus full of foals from one big explosive volcano with Quarray Eels is in trouble! It's at a place so secret, can't tell you about it. Sorry!"
"Oh, I see." Beautiful Fillymore said with a sign then looks at her 'special friend' hopefully. "But about my offer..."
"Sssh." Dasheresque said, covering her mouth with a smile. "Tell you what: meet me in Eagylpt and I will tell you."
"Oh, okay, I will be waiting."
Beautiful Fillymore smiles as she trots, waiting for an answer; Dasheresque pauses then flies off, mumbling, "That is one answer that I will never give! Nope, ever! I am not a one mare parent."
"Eeew," Some ponies are heard offscreen.
"Hey, shut up, I am not like that!" Rainbow exclaims to the other ponies in annoyance.
-----------
Spike fix the camera for a moment then get off camera as we go back to the 'present'. Tardis sighs, "Tough break, eh? How did she take it?"
"Never mind, Beautiful is a thing of the past. Now is this mare's time to deal with the present...and the future...and the history." Dasheresque said to Tardis in a dramatic moment. "So what's this I hear about the rulers?"
"Oh. Turns out the rulers from another country are visiting...and turn out somepony is targeting them for kidnapping! If something bad happens to them, their country is going to declare war on us!"
"One thing I hate…and that's war! Also pony clowns, not funny. They are scary. And maybe bullies with bad backs; And...commitment. Now then, who is behind the kidnapping?"
"Search me, I don't have any clue." Tardis admits to his friend with a shrug. "The head officer of this place is still upset with you over the recent accidents so I didn't get much info."
"Ha ha ha! Oh yes, those were good times. Blowing up buildings with folks inside, stealing diamonds while claiming to return them, running down stuff..." Dasheresque said with a light chuckle. "Well, if I must find out any info, there's only one pony to turn to for that."
"Oh yes, you mean..."
"We must hit the streets and find the Snitch!"
----------------
The city of Canterlot was busy and filled with life (which is actually Ponyville with fake props to look like a city). The citizens (or some extras) are busy doing whatever it is, they are doing...
Spike's camera is on Twilight who is talking to Ben, arguing, "I can't believe my friends, brother and mentor would trot out on me like that at the whole wedding thing. I may forgive but I ain't forgetting. Those..."
"Ahem." Ben said as he motions to the camera, making Twilight yelps as they saw that they're rolling.
"Eep; Ix-nay, ix-nay," Twilight exclaims as she and Ben quickly gallop off camera.
Dasheresque and Tardis came into view, saying, "Canterlot City...city of mystery and rough houses. If one must find some information, only one place to start."
"Hopefully we can find our Snitch before the rulers show up." Tardis comments to his friend with a nod. "But where will we find the Snitch?"
"Let's ask one of the locals." Dasheresque said while trotting up to a local (which is Tough Apple), "Hey big guy!"
"Eh, what," The local ask Dasheresque with a scoff.
"Tell me where's the Snitch is." Dasheresque demands sternly.
"An' why should Ah?" The local ask Dasheresque with a frown.
"Either tell me where the Snitch is...or hit me in the face!" Dasheresque exclaims being more demanding.
The local grunts as he holds up a fist then throws it...hitting Derpy who is in Rainbow's place, sending her crashing into a wall.
"Ouch." Derpy said with a groan. "These stunts hurt."
Dasheresque got up from the trash cans, sighing a bit. A familiar voice spoke up, "Dasheresque?"
Dasheresque turns to see a yellow mare with a pink long mane and three butterflies for a cutie mark nearby looking at her (played again by Fluttershy). It's Pretty Fillymore, his other 'Special Friend'.
"Pretty? What are you doing in town? I thought you were in Fillymore or something." Dasheresque said to Pretty in surprise.
"Oh, just came here...waiting for the arrival of the rulers." Pretty said to Dasheresque with a smile.
"Rulers; Who," Dasheresque asked.
"Oh, come on. Did you forget already?" Tardis ask Dasheresque in concern. "It's Prince Armour and his bride Credenza. The ones I told you about."
"Oh yes...I was making sure that you remember...Tardis. Anyway, we're looking for a little filly known as the Snitch." Dasheresque explains to Pretty while frowning to the local, "Got a run in with a bad local."
"Oh, well, you need to treat them nicely. Allow me." Pretty said to Dasheresque with a giggle.
"Eh, if you can talk to Big, Tall and Purple, go ahead." Dasheresque said to Prettyy with a shrug.
Pretty trots up to the local while asking, "Excuse me, sir? We're looking for a little filly called the Snitch. Can you be a dear and tell us where she is, please?"
"Oh, shucks, sure. She hangs out over there." The local said to Pretty with a smile while pointing to an alley with a hoof. "Can't done miss her."
"Thank you, Tou...err, sir. You're a good pony." Pretty said to the local with a giggle.
"Wow, she sure is a nice filly." Tardis comments while he and Dasheresque looks on. "Kinda remind you of some pony, eh?"
"Yeah..." Dasheresque said with a sigh as she remembers another time.
-----------
In another scene at the bridge, we see a knocked out guard (the Jabberwocky cardboard sign knocked down) nearby as Dasheresque and Beautiful are trotting off with some golden apples (apples that are painted gold).
"Oh yes, that was awesome." Dasheresque said to Beautiful with a grin. "We got to try this again sometime."
"Oh yes...as long as I'm with you." Beautiful said as she leans to Dasheresque, nuzzling her. The heroine blush (or pretend to since this is a movie) as the two are getting comfortable.
Well, too comfortable. Rainbow, getting uneasy, stage whispers, "Fluttershy? You're getting way into character here. Stop it now."
"Oh, sorry, sorry," Fluttershy said as she got off Rainbow as Spike turns the camera off.
---------
In the present, Pretty came up while saying, "There, you got to know how to talk to these ponies. Better?"
"Yeah, yeah, Dasheresque here," Dasheresque remarks while rolling her eyes a bit. "Tardis and I got a Snitch to talk to and a war to stop."
"War; what war?" Pretty asks her 'special friend' in alarm and confusion. She doesn't like the sound of that at all.
"Oh, nothing some flank kicking won't fix." Dasheresque remarks with a smile. "Come on, Tardis. We got to talk to the Snitch."
"Right, Dasheresque." Tardis nodded.
"Do you need my help?" Pretty asks Dasheresque.
"Dasheresque needs help from nopony! I work alone...except with Tardis which is all the time!" Dasheresque scoffs as she and Tardis heads off the alley.
In the alley is a filly shining on a customer's (Noteworthy) shoes. She has a mahogany mane and tail, amber skin, white freckles and light spring bud eyes, wearing overalls and a hat. She is the Snitch (played by Babs Seed).
"Hey, Snitch." Dasheresque said as the customer leaves. "Got a minute?"
"Don't know anything, can't get nothing from me." The Snitch snaps to Dasheresque sternly in a Manehattan tone of voice. "You don't get either."
"Look, Snitch, we need info about some rulers visiting and the fact that someone is targeting them!" Dasheresque snaps to the Snitch in annoyance. "Start talking or I'd get rough."
"Make me." The Snitch remarks a bit.
"She's a filly, Dasheresque, you got to give her what she wants." Tardis explains to his partner.
Dasheresque sighs as she gave a bag of bits to the Snitch, asking, "Will this help?"
"Yeah, I believe it's enough." The Snitch said with a smirk as she grabs the bag.
"Now do you know who is targeting the rulers that are visiting?" Dasheresque ask with a frown to the Snitch.
"Word on the street is that a fiend named Lucille is planning on abducting them upon arrival." The Snitch explains to Dasheresque and Tardis quietly.
"Lucille...why does that name feel so familiar to me," Dasheresque ask with a frown. "As if it's someone I will shout out in danger very soon."
"Oy! That's the name of your mom's partner before your mom left ya...not that I know anything about it." Tardis said with a slight chuckle.
"Yeah...but why do I feel like I want to wave a hoof into the air and shout her name out in anger?" Dasheresque ask before giving more bits to the Snitch. "And I will pay you to tell me since Tardis will not liking wanting to talk."
"Because word is that Lucille betrayed Momeresque that's why." The Snitch said to Dasheresque with a shrug.
Dasheresque's eye twitched furiously then she held up a hoof in fury, yelling out, "LUCILLE!.!.!.!.!.!.!"
"Wow." The Snitch said in surprise upon witnessing this. "I guess she really dislikes the mare now?"
"Her mother was special and the one thing of many things that Dasheresque hates, it's those who turned on her mom. That's why she doesn't like to talk about her dad often." Tardis explains to the Snitch with a shrug.
"Oh, Lucille is so going down! What is she going to do with the rulers?!" Dasheresque demands furiously.
"Don't know nothin'." The Snitch remarks in denial....until Dasheresque gave another bag of bits to her. "Oh wait, I remember. The prince and his bride will be arriving tomorrow. She is sending her most dangerous agents to ba them when the time is right at 6:04 right on Central Street."
"Oh, she is, is she?" Dasheresque asked.
"Right and I don't know why she wants to make a war between the countries. Seriously, not even a bag of bits can get that out of me, you know?" The Snitch asks Dasheresque with a shrug.
"Hmmm, well, it's time we figure that part out and introduce Lucille to my old pals: Paingiver, Jawbreaker, Flankkicker and Dancemaker!" Dasheresque exclaims, introducing her legs along with her hooves, "Time to go Tardis! We got a case to solve...and money to get."
"We're getting paid?" Tardis ask confused. The two leave the area, the Snitch watches the two go in a pause. One is wondering if Dasheresque will stop Lucille. One is wondering about something else after another long pause.
"Spike; Fade out already!" Rainbow's voice snaps to Spike in annoyance, realizing that he hasn't fade the scene away yet.
"Oh, right! Sorry." Spike apologized before getting the camera to fade out.
----------
Dasheresque sat in her office as she looks at the paper that announces the upcoming visit of the rulers (which is a piece of paper that said 'Rulers To Visit' on a newspaper). The mare frowns to her partner, "It won't be easy tracking down Lucille."
"Well, if anyone can stop Lucille from kidnapping the rulers, you can...or just kick some flank." Tardis remarks with a nod. "But of course, we don't have a clue as to where she is."
"Yes...wait, I got a suspicions...that someone is watching us right now."
"Awww, that's a bunch of horse flank. No one is watching us, no need to worry."
A suspense sound is heard as a shadowy figure (Spike of course) is peeking through a window then leaves the area. His boss must be informed.
-----------------
In a shadowy room (which is of course the inside of the Carousel Baroque), a familiar figure in a new dress (Rarity's Gala dress) of course listens to the report of her little minion who is wearing a top hat, a cape and a mustache (Spike of course has chosen to wear his disguise from when he tried to frame Twilight's owl).
"So...Momeresque's little filly is on the case, eh?" Lucille asks her little minion with a smirk. "Is that the case, Dragon Whiplash?"
"Yes, my lady! Dasheresque wants to stop us from making war, no, yes?" Dragon asks with a fake laugh and Russian accent.
"Looks like she is turning out to be a nuisance liked her crazy mom; Well, I will have my little war...and if Dasheresque gets in the war, she will have to deal with my secret weapon and her doom!"
Another suspense music is heard as the camera goes to an alicorn figure in the shadows (which of course is Princess Luna) glare right at the boss. Yes, Lucille will have her way if she has any say in it.
