Trixie sat down at a desk in her home. She sighed as she used her magic and pulled her typewriter out. She then began typing.
My notes over the Rainbooms:
Approximately one and half years ago, the thieves known as the Rainbooms made their first appearance. They were originally believed to have first been located in Baltimare due to their first four crimes happening there. Their first crime was the Necklace of Zebras, a necklace made of white and black pearls worth 5 million bits. It was located in a museum in Baltimare run by a corrupt noble who had been blackmailing several notable artists. Their second crime was the Jewel of Purple Lightning, worth 8 million bits. It was located in a mansion run by a pony crime family. The third crime was 15 million bits from the Baltimare 'Double Shine' Bank. The owner of the robbed bank was leading a double life as mafia boss. Their fourth crime was a failure in Baltimare where they tried to steal the 25 million bit Emerald of the Cat. They tried to steal this gem from another museum but the police arrived early. The Rainbooms successfully escaped capture however. Then I suspect they decided to leave Baltimare and ended up in Manehatten, where I have been currently chasing them. Their fifth crime was a success though. The fifth crime was stealing the Gold Statue of the Stars, worth 30 million bits which was a statue in the Museum of History in Manehatten. I later investigated and arrested the owner of the mansion, Ink Battery, who had been secretly illegally selling art pieces on the black market. Then they committed their sixth crime last night, the Fantasia Jewels from Muggy Snide.
Trixie stopped typing. “Ugh, Trixie can't believe those thieves still haven't been caught. Trixie looked all over the crime scene and didn't find a single thing.” she said to herself, letting out a huge moan. “Now, what do I do......?”
Meanwhile at the Rainboom's hideout....
Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Applejack were asleep in their rooms. Rarity then woke up in her bed and let out a huge yawn. She then slowly got up to get a glass of water. As she wandered down the hallway, she saw a bright light flashing in the meeting room. She drifted into the room and saw a hunched over pony in the corner, typing away at a computer. It was Twilight, still working.
“Twilight, darling, go to bed.” said Rarity.
“Hello Rarity, sorry, but there is still so much to do.” Twilight said exhaustively as she continued typing.
“Twilight, we just got done with the heist last night, we'll be able to sell them to the buyers next week, alright?”
“I know, I just...I don't know...”
“Look, we have plenty of money even before we did the heist. It's fine.”
“......I just, think we need to do more...”
“Look, I know how we use the money and its fine, it will all be okay.”
“I know, I just want to at least know what our next heist will be...”
“It's fine, I use the money for my jewelery and dresses, Applejack uses it for her family, you for your inventions, and Fluttershy uses the money to help animal shelters.” remarked Rarity and then said, “And we know Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash do this for the thrills.”
“I know, I just....wait a minute...”
“What? You got something?”
“Yeah.....The Gem of Tiger Eyes.”
“The 65 million bit gem that we decided not to steal when we moved to Manehatten?”
“We decided not to steal because the owner is squeaky clean, no crimes, no nothing.”
“So why can we steal it now?”
“Because somepony bought it. A certain Canterlot noble.”
“Let me guess, the pony is a dirty little criminal?”
“There is evidence to suggest it, the buyer is Rich Flower, a noble who deals in the black market time to time...We've almost made a few deals with him a few times.”
“Really?”
“The Jewel of Purple Lightning and the Gold Statue of the Stars, he tried to buy them from us...but his price was too low.”
“What a tightwad.”
“No kidding, according to this, he will be coming in a blimp two weeks from now to pick up the gem and have the nobles have a party in Manehatten because they're rich.”
“Loves to throw money around, huh?”
“Yep. Alright, I'm going to try to make a plan for another heist. That and complete my new inventions.”
“No.” said Rarity sharply.
“No?”
“Go to bed Twilight. You can try to make plans tomorrow.”
“But...but...but...”
“You need to sleep Twilight!!!” yelled Rarity.
Twilight then shrunk in her chair and then squeaked, “Okay.”
Three days before the heist....
“Okay girls, I got us a new heist. So girls, once again I must ask you..” spoke up Twilight. “Do you want to do this?” asked Twilight as she put her hoof in the air. “Tell me, if you don't want to, it's okay.”
“Sugarcube, don't worry about a thing, we're all in. Right girls?” replied Applejack.
“Yeah, we're with you all the way!” said Pinkie.
The other five put their hooves in the air and Twilight smiled. “Thank you girls.”
Twilight adjusted her glasses and then put several papers on their meeting room table. “Okay, let's go over the plan. Now, unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to get the gem at the party they will have before leaving Manehatten.”
“Really?!” asked Rainbow surprised.
“Yeah, there will tons of police ponies there. There was no real safe route. Sorry.”
“It's fine darling.” said Rarity.
“Instead, I have made a more extravagant plan to say the least. First, take a look at these.” she said and put out two metal rings that could easily fit on people's hooves.
“Rings?”
“Watch this.” said Twilight as she put on one of the rings. The rings shine and suddenly Twilight's skin turned Purple to Orange and her mane Purple to Dark Green. “Impressed?”
“Whoa! You look like a different pony!”
“Yeah, they're called disguise rings, I made them with the money from our last heist, unfortunately I didn't have enough time to make any more than two of them. I also made this.” she said as pulled out a huge square shaped device.
“What's that?”
“A giant mattress expansion device. It can grow to the size of three story building. It can expand and shrink in mere minutes.”
“So its a giant pillow?”
“Um...yes. Anyways...” remarked Twilight. “Now, let's begin. This is a three part plan. First, Rairty and Applejack will wear the two disguise rings. I've bought us two tickets with our extra money. Rarity, you'll need to make a very noble looking dress, just make it look fancy, I don't care.”
“Of course darling.”
“Alright, Applejack will be disguised as Rarity's bodyguard. You'll need to wear your disguise tuxedo from the last heist.”
“Um...okay.”
“Well, both of you will board the blimp. Then you will need to plant these around the blimp as secretly as possible.” said Twilight as she pulled out several small orbs.
“Ah, smoke orbs! From the Jewel of Purple Lightning job!”
“Yeah, I can trigger these remotely when necessary. Anyways, then Rarity must trick and get the key from the head guard in the blimp. We need the key to storage, that's where the gem is. Then, we will trigger the smoke orbs and Applejack will need to break one of the windows. At the same time, Rainbow Dash will need to take some clouds and make a lightning storm in front of the blimp. Don't worry, I've checked the weather schedules, there will be plenty of clouds in the sky on the day of the heist. Then the second part of the plan happens. When Applejack breaks the window, Rainbow Dash will fly into the blimp window and grab the key from Rarity. Then she will dash to the storage room and grab the gem. You'll only have thirty seconds at most so be quick Rainbow Dash. According to the blueprints I was able to find, there will be a one way door in the storage to the outside of the blimp. Use that to make your escape.”
“Okay, Ah know this plan already sounds crazy and risky but what about me and Rarity sugarcube?”
“That's part three, which involves Pinkie and Fluttershy. Pinkie will be reining the escape carriage while Fluttershy will be with her with the mattress device. The rings have tracking devices so we know where you are at all times. I'll teach how to track both of you and use the mattress device to catch you when jump out the blimp's window.”
“Jump?” yelped Rarity.
“Don't worry, the device will easily catch you, it won't hurt at all.”
“O...okay...” squeaked Rarity.
“So, are you all still in?” asked Twilight.
The other five grinned and all said in unison, “Let's do it!!!”
