Space Sector 2812
A dark blue beetle shaped was being driven into space carrying various large dark blue scarabs which were beetle shaped, the pilot was a large bulky being in dark blue and black high tech beetle shaped armour.
“Yes master I am transporting the Scarab Probes as we speak........” the being who was the ship’s pilot said as he before he noticed what seemed to be a green blade made out of energy cut a circle open though the ship.
“I will have to call you back master as my ship is under attack by this sector’s Green Lantern.......” the pilot said as the hole was smashed through and floated in was a blue slug like creature with only one eye, four arms and he was wearing a black and dark green uniform with a symbol that was a green circle with a green line connected to the top of it and another green line connected to the bottom of it.
“As Green Lantern of Sector 2812 and under authority of the Guardians of the Universe, I Ord Mergel order you to surrender warrior of the Reach!” the being said to the pilot with a glare and pointing a glowing green ring on his finger to him.
“Green Lantern menace, the Reach will destroy your stupid Corps!” the pilot said with a snarl as he spoke to Ord Mergel “Soon the entire universe will belong to the Reach!”
“The Reach will meet their downfall and the Corps will destroy every single one of your Scarabs!” Ord told the pilot with a glare “So get ready as you are taken to justice and these scarabs are destroyed!”.
“No, get ready Green Lantern as this will be another victory in the Reach’s war against your Corps!” the pilot snarled as he got up from his chair and transformed the hands of his armour into cannons.
The pilot then began firing at his cannons at Ord only for him to dodge the attacks, Ord then used his ring to create a glowing green construct of a sword which he began using to start slicing the Scarabs in half destroying them.
The pilot began snarling in furious anger as he turned his hand into a blade and charged at Ord who used his construct blade to have a sword duel with the pilot.
The pilot managed to use his blade to shatter Ord’s construct but he was sent into the wall by a blast of green energy from Ord’s ring. “You will not win Green Lantern!” the pilot snarled as he transformed his hands back into cannons and began firing at Ord once more.
Ord dodged as he created another sword construct and began using it to cut more of the Scarabs in half, “ Let’s see your scarabs survive this!” Order told the pilot as Ord used his sword to smash the control console of the ship.
The pilot then began screaming as the ship was beginning to crash, he tried to use the beetle like wings of his armour to fly out but Ord use a blast from his ring to damage the scarab on the pilot’s back and destroy his wings.
Just before the ship crashed on the nearest planet Order flew out of the hole he created in the ship and observed it crashing, he then surveyed damage and saw that all but one of the scarabs had been completely destroyed.
“Go.....find a planet to extend the Reach’s power...........” the pilot managed to say activating the scarab before he was knocked out by a fist construct from Ord’s ring.
Ord then began firing beams at the Reach scarab and it was damaged as it flew away, Ord then used a construct of a chain to tie the pilot up.
Ord then faced his ring finger to his eye and told it “Ord Mergel Green Lantern of Sector 2812 requesting to contact Oa.”. Then the ring brought up a green hologram of a four armed creature with a pink insectoid head that was wearing a uniform just like his.
“This is Green Lantern of Sector 1418 Salaak, what do you want to stay Ord?” the creature asked Ord.
“Salaak please inform the Guardians that i Have completed my mission and the Reach scout ship was destroyed, the pilot is now under my custody and I will be taking him back to Oa.” Ord told Salaak “All but one of the Scarabs have been destroyed and the pilot managed to activate it but I had managed to heavily damage the Scarab as it was taking off.”
“A damaged Scarab will not be that dangerous, I will let the Guardians know right away of your success and we will have a cell in the Sciencell ready for when you arrive back with the Reach pilot. Hopefully we can remove his scarab from him, provided of course it has not caused too much damage to its host.” Salaak told Ord and he smiled.
“Thank you Salaak, Ord Mergel out!” Order said smiling to the hologram before it disappeared, he then took the Reach pilot and began flying back to Oa thinking after he dropped him off he could go back to his planet and spend some time with his family.
The Scarab slowly flew through space Sector 2812, unable to go very fast due to the damages to it caused by Ord Mergel. After a year it was hovering above the planet that Equestria was on.
It then fell to the ground and landed in Ponyville (just a day after Equestria had been invaded by the Pony of Shadows) and went into a dormant state, when it would be reactivated again it would go for the nearest inhabitant of this planet so it could use the inhabitant as it’s host for the Reach’s mission of universal conquest.
In its dormant state it was attempting to fix the damages done to it by Ord Mergel a year ago, however because of the damages whoever it chooses as a host would have a chance not to be entirely taken over by the A.I. inside the scarab unlike many hosts of the Reach’s scarabs.

In a warehouse in Ponyville there were two freezing chambers and inside of them each were two ponies who looked frozen with fear. One was a white furred unicorn stallion in a red sweater vest with a blue mane and his Cutie Mark was an ink pen.
In the other chamber was younger unicorn mare with a blonde mane and yellow fur who was wearing a black sweater vest and her cutie mark seemed to a pen and paper.
Approaching the chamber was a unicorn mare about half of the size of Princess Celestia herself. Her snow white fur seemed to be glowing with light blue wind and except for a few strands of blonde hair; her head seemed completely bald of any mane.
She was wearing a mechanical vest and a bowl over her head which had a hole for her horn to poke through, her eyes was covered by goggles with dark red lenses, on her face she was sporting a smirk. “Hello my fear old husband Icicle and my little filly Frost, I remembered what had happened that lead us to this situation!”
“Here I was respected scientist Victoria Freeze researching a poor injured WIndigo that our department had found.” The mare recanted while walking in a circle “one night you decided to get greedy and tried to kill me so you can pose it as an accident and claim the 500 thousand bits insurance money; however I survived and merged with the Windigo’s ice powers making me reborn as a Mare of Winter, having to use this armour the doctors provided to help me survive in warm temperatures.”
“Because of your murder attempt you both got sent to Blackgate, I could not stand while my pool beloved family was trapped in that awful prison so I broke you both out this morning.” Victoria continued to talk as she levitated an ice blue orb to the top of both chambers and by blasts of magic it connected to both of them.
“I should thank you my family, with this godlike power I feel just how Princess Celestia herself must feel.” Victoria laughed a bit maniacally “to show my gratitude I will use this artefact I stole to boost my ice powers to power these machines to make you both just like me, we will be on big happy family once more!”
“Your family will be going back to Blackgate, Freeze.” Victoria heard a voice say and she turned around and saw a unicorn mare dressed in a purple costume with a full face mask, hat, cape and boots “and I will have to send you to Arkham Asylum!”
Freeze then laughed out loud “what a pleasure is it to meet Ponyville’s own night time vigilante Mare Do Well!”
“Don’t forget me!” as a white furred unicorn filly with purple mane walked up to Mare Do well until she was standing at her side. She was dressed in a black cape, an eye mask and a red costume “Filly Be-Goode the Filly Wonder!”
“Who is this, your daughter Mare Do Well?” Victoria laughed out loud again causing the two costumed ponies to glare at Freeze “No a responsible parent, are you?”
“Says the mare that plans on forcing her daughter into a freak experiment.” Mare Do Well said glaring at Victoria.
“I just planning on making my young daughter a goddess just like me and I will not let you both stop me!” Victoria said as she then firing ice out of her horn.
Mare Do Well dodged the ice beams and began firing her electrified bolas at Victoria, one of them managed to connect with her armour dazing her enough for Mare Do Well to kick her into a wall and completely knocked out.
As this was happening Filly Be-Goode let the doors of the chambers open and then Frost and Icicle rushed out, “Send us back to Blackgate please, anywhere that my psycho mother can’t get back to is fine by me!” Frost pretty much begged as she was on her knees in front of the two costumed vigilantes.
“Yes please put me in a cell, melt away the key, and have me sent there for life as long as I don’t have to deal with the ice monster that used to be my wife I don’t really care!” Icicle shouted broking down into tears as he was in the same begging state his daughter was in.
**
The Ponyville Police was called in, Victoria would be getting sent to Arkham Asylum, Icicle and Freeze as they wanted would be going back to their cells at Blackgate and the artefact was returned to the museum where Victoria had stolen it from.
Mare Do Well and Filly Be-Goode were now in their cave lair beneath the Carousel Boutique; Mare Do Well had put her costume and equipment away and was now her alter ego - the Ponyville fashion designer Rarity.
Filly Be-Goode had also put her costume away and was her alter ego – Rarity’s little sister Sweetie Belle. There in the lair was also a smiling green unicorn with a black mane; he was their lifelong family friend Alfalfa. “Had a good time on patrol tonight?” Alfalfa asked her two old charges.
“Sweetie Belle has really learnt from the training I have been giving her, Alfalfa.” Rarity smiled as she then turned to Sweetie Belle “okay it is off to bed, you have a big day ahead of you since I know your friend’s cousin is coming to visit!”
“Yes Applebloom is excited that her cousin Babs is coming to visit as well!” Sweetie yelled in excitement, Sweetie had befriended two other fillies who had yet to earn their Cutie Marks: Applebloom and Scootaloo. They had formed a group called the Cutie Mark Crusaders dedicated to doing anything until they found their Cutie Marks.
Applebloom had told them that Babs Seed her cousin from Manehattan would be coming over to visit and Sweetie Bell was excited to possibly meet a new friend. She then rushed to her room excitedly.
“Sweetie Belle still has their fillyhood to experience and enjoy.” Rarity sighed with a look of sadness on her face “my fillyhood ended when mother and father..........”
Alfalfa with a serious look on his face put a sympathetic hoove on Rarity’s should to which she gave a grateful smile.

PONYVILLE GAZETTE
PONYVILLE IS SAVED BY SUPERMARE.......AND SUPERFILLY?
By Intrepid ReporterJust yesterday our fair city was attacked by the team of mercenaries calling themselves ‘the Intregang’ who attempted to attack one of the Rich’s Barnyard Bargains warehouses. Luckily the heroine known as Supermare stopped them and they are now in police custody. What is also known as Supermare, however the member of the Super Friends of Equestria was joined by a younger filly in a similar costume and seemed to have displayed similar powers! Does Supermare have a younger sibling or perhaps a daughter......
That morning sitting in his office at the main Rich’s Barnyard Bargains headquarters, the company’s wealthy owner and CEO Filth Rich stopped reading as he just glared at the headline of his newspaper as it laid on his desk while at the same time trying to stop the blood boiling inside of him from reaching his head, it was supposed to be a simple crime: hire the Intregang to attack one of his not so successful warehouses so he can use the insurance money to invest in a contract that would make his business even richer.
A simple but effective crime that would have made him (pardon the pun)even more filthy rich, it would have if Supermare hadn’t stuck her nose out of business that clearly did not concern her and had not interfered with his insurance scheme! Now not only did he not get the insurance bits but he had to spend some more of his bits to make sure the crime could not be linked back to him (ever since Supermare first appeared his crimes were becoming more and more harder to cover up)!
Ever since about a month or two ago when Supermare started appearing and interfering in his not so legal affairs it seemed he was losing business in his not so legit schemes, now it seemed she had a sidekick who was helping her meddle in his projects! At this rate his entire criminal empire will go bust and he will have to stick to exclusively running Barnyard Bargains if he did not want to face serious prison time!
He did not want it come to that, especially since in Blackgate he would have to face the inmates, a quarter of whom had been his henchmen who he abandoned when he deemed them to have outlived their usefulness and purpose to him. The fact is that he would not survive a night in Blackgate so getting caught was not an option.
He would have stopped his no so legal affairs but it was becoming so difficult trying to keep up his and his family’s wealthy lifestyle when business would sometimes be slow for Rich’s Barnyard Bargains. He started up his little criminal empire (around the time Mare Do Well appeared and began destroying the organized crime ring that had been happening at night in Ponyville) about a year ago and it helped him stay in his current lifestyle while giving him a feeling of power in Ponyville: a feeling that he could do anything at all with no consequences, it was a tremendous glorious feeling that he did not ever want to lose but nor did he want his life to be ended by being sent to Blackgate.
But now thanks to that flying super strong earth pony in a cape, the only path for him is to find out how to permanently eliminate the Supermare threat once and for all, then came into his office was his young filly daughter Diamond Tiara.
Managing to turn his face into a somewhat pleasant smile he asked “is there something you was after Diamond Tiara, my little princess?”
“Me and Silver Spoon are going out to play daddy!” Diamond Tiara said in her most sweet voice and giving her most innocent smile, Filthy Rich then had his smile grow even further. He was sure that with his teaching Diamond could prove to be a worthy heir to the Rich family empire.
“Okay now Diamond sweetie, go and have fun!” Filthy Rich and Diamond Tiara nodded as she turned back to the door but before she started walking out Filthy said “one last thing Diamond.”
“Yes Daddy?” Diamond Tiara asked as she turned her head back to her father “what do you want to say?”
“I have heard you have been behaving yourself.” Filthy Rich responded referring to the fact that since their last talk Diamond Tiara has toned down picking on the fillies that had yet to receive their Cutie Marks or ‘Blank Flanks’ as she and Silver Spoon liked to call them “I am pleased to hear that, please keep up the good behaviour Diamond Tiara.”
Diamond Tiara cringed a bit remembering how much it pained yet to even act nice to those ‘Blank Flanks’ but she nodded as she was walking out of the door and said “okay Daddy, I will!”
Filthy Rich waved his hoove to Diamond Tiara as she left her father’s office and then closed the door, deep in thought about she is really annoyed about her father telling her to try and be nice to the Blanks Flanks, if not tolerate them.
Oh well, at least she can spend the day with somepony that actually mattered and actually had their Cutie Mark, her best friend in all of Equestria: Silver Spoon. They were planning on taking a walk around Ponyville for the day.
She walked out of her mansion and then began walking to the mansion that was the home of Silver Spoon, as long as they did not have to meet with any Blank Flanks then their day would be great. Who knows what could happen that day, maybe they will run into those idiots from school Snails and Snips and they could come up with some scheme to amuse themselves that could involve their dumb schoolmates.
Maybe on their little walk they can find something that could prove very useful in their schemes and could make this the best day of their lives, who knows.
