Arguments and Detective Work
Canterlot City
The door to Sunset's apartment flew open as an angry Princess Twilight Sparkle and an equally angry Sunset Shimmer, with a neutral and confused Spike, all walked into the apartment. Twilight stomped towards the couch while Sunset took Spike out of the backpack so he could finally move around.
"Okay, Twilight, confession time!" Sunset started in a stern tone, trying really hard not to lose her cool, "You are going to tell me what the hell is wrong with you right now!"
Twilight groaned exasperatedly before dragging her hand down her face, "Sunset, for the last time, I don't want to talk about it!"
But Sunset wasn't having any of it, evident when she stomped her foot on the floor, "NO! That's not an excuse anymore! For God's sake, Twi, you nearly got us all killed! Do you even realize the amount of danger you put us in?!"
Being as defiant as ever, Twilight crossed her arms, "I-I had it handled..." She replied, not even convinced herself that she had the situation under control.
Sunset, resisting the urge to groan, gave her friend a stern look, "You're so full of it. Twilight you need to learn that this," She gestured to her surroundings with her hands, "Isn't Equestria, where you sing a little song and your problems magically disappear!"
Spike, who jumped onto Sunset's sofa, looked to Twilight and nodded in agreement, "She's right, Twilight."
Twilight snapped her head to Spike and gave him an angry look, "Since when do you always take her side?!"
"SINCE SHE BECAME THE ONE MAKING SENSE!!!" Spike shouted back, trying and hoping to get through to his best friend, "This is just like what happened back on Mt. Aris! You shut yourself down and carried the weight of the world on your shoulders until you lashed out on everypony! Driving them away when you needed them most!"
Twilight curled her fingers in frustration, "That's different, young Dragon!"
"It isn't and you know it!" Spike replied hotly.
Sunset, having had enough of this, stomped over to Twilight, "You want proof? Fine! You have been nothing but distant since you got here, you're temperamental and hot headed, which is unlike you, you won't talk to anyone, you rush into things without thinking clearly, and you have been nothing but cold to Twilight." Sunset listed off to her angry friend and teacher.
Twilight snarled and all of a sudden, stomped her foot on the ground, "SHE'S NOT TWILIGHT!!! I'M TWILIGHT!!!" She shouted, catching Sunset off guard, "So what? You meet a new version of me and suddenly I'm not good enough anymore? She's suddenly your Twilight? Glad to know that I'm sooo easy to replace!"
"R-Replace?" Sunset stuttered out before asking, "What do you mean by that?"
Twilight rolled her eyes as she folded her arms over her chest, "Hmm, let's see. Ever since you met the other me, you've barely stayed in contact with me using the journal. The last message I wrote to you was months ago and you didn't even respond! Now you're calling her your Twilight when I'm right there with you, do you know how that makes me feel? It makes me feel like you don't need me anymore! Which makes sense since not even Equestria needs me! I'm a failure there and I'm a failure here, so thank you so much, Sunset, for showing just how much you don't need me and how much of a bucking failure I am!!!" She finished shouting, panting heavily with her face so red due to how angry she was.
The apartment was silent until the dams finally burst.
Twilight started to cry.
She fell to her knees and covered her face, Sunset instantly rushing over to comfort her distraught friend. Spike whimpered and jumped off the couch and curled up next to his mother figure to try and comfort her. As Twilight sobbed into Sunset's chest, the former Unicorn couldn't help but wrap her arms around her friend for support.
The docks were abandoned, perfect for a temporary base of operations. The Batwing slowly landed next to the warehouse, covered in its cloaking mechanism as to not draw attention towards the docks. Once the Batwing landed, the top of the cockpit slid open, allowing Batman to jump out before closing again.
The Dark Knight entered the warehouse, it was a small setup, what with the two training dummies, the weights, and the miniature Batcomputer at the back of the warehouse. Batman removed his cowl and made his way towards the Batcomputer as it turned itself on.
Bruce Wayne, billionaire playboy by day, vigilante by night.
Bruce took out the device he found from his Utility Belt and placed it on the scanner to his left. He then typed on the keyboard and brought up multiple pop up windows as the scanner finished scanning the strange device. Once the scanner did its job, another window popped up, showing some sort of map of Canterlot City.
"This must be how the device is connecting to Nygma's main server. But if I want to find out where he is held up, I'm going to need the other devices he has placed around Canterlot to build a stronger connection to the server." Wayne thought to himself as he typed on a few more keys to try and locate the next device.
Unfortunately as soon as he pressed a key, another window popped up, this time one of Riddler's head and a wagging finger with the text, "Ah ah ah, you didn't say the magic word." The window stayed like that for a few seconds before it disappeared, a window with a riddle and an answer box replacing it.
"A riddle, how original."
The riddle on the Batcomputer appeared to be one that led to the next device's location. The riddle asked,"I’m a dividing line at an edge; a squiggle of land lacking rock or ledge.
I stretch out far and sometimes wide, but you'll stay dry if you pick my side.
There's salt on my breath, and I've sand for feet; you sometimes sit with me in the heat.
When waves come to call, I hold them back- keeping your visit right on track.
But remember, should they ever choose to rise, those who leave surly are wise.
What am I?"
Batman shook his head before typing in the answer, "The Beach." He pressed the 'Enter' key, to which the pop up window disappeared and moved towards Canterlot Beach, where the entire area was highlighted.
"Riddler's not making it easy." Bruce thought to himself before bringing up his own map of Canterlot for reference. He zoomed in on Canterlot Beach and the various buildings and construction sites in the surrounding area. He zoomed in on a Shipping Yard that was close to the beach itself, "There's a Shipping Yard right next to the beach. It's secluded and abandoned, has been ever since it was bought out from Filthy Rich. That's where the next device is." He deduced before shutting off the Batcomputer and putting on his cowl.
He pressed his finger to his ear, activating the Comms in his cowl, "Alfred, Nygma has the next device stored in a Storage Yard next to Canterlot Beach. I'm heading there now to retrieve it."
"Be careful sir, there's no telling what that mad man has in store for you at that Shipping Yard." Alfred reminded his surrogate son in a worried manner, "He obviously wanted you to find it."
"Makes sense. This is all a game to him, Alfred, to prove that he's smarter than I am." Batman said as he made his way out of the warehouse towards the cloaked Batwing, "I'm going to prove him wrong."

Fess up girl. You've got some explaining to do.
About time she opens up
Let's recap:
Back at Sunset's apartment, Twilight finally confesses that she was jealous of her human counterpart and began to believe that she was no longer needed in the Human World.
Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne (the man behind Batman's mask) solves a riddle on the Riddler's device he obtained in the building, which tells him his next target: an abandoned Canterlot Beach shipyard.
Have I forgotten something?
About time Pony Twilight opens up and finally admits why she's been acting out of character.
It took a screaming match (of course), but Princess Twilight finally confessed her problem to Sunset and Spike.
Let's hope she'll calm down and talk to them properly.
And Batman figured out that the Riddler's next location. Looks like it's time for more bat action!
Great chapter!
Umm, care to elaborate?
Aww! Poor Twilight.
It's not please is it?
Huh. Why buy something if you had no immediate plans for it?
Run out of cash Mr. Rich?
Nice mention of the Rich Family by the way.
Riddler better hope that whatever ambush he left behind is better than three armed men.
So Twilight finally opens up good it’s bad keeping those negative emotions bottled, hopefully she won’t do something as stupid as before that would warrant her a signature Bat Bitch Slap.
And the Dark Knight is on to the next mission of his crusade, only next time he has an official obstacle in the form of the Worlds Deadliest Assassin.
11429108
Agreed! What the heck is Twilight on about?
11429190
This is obviously right after the events of the Movie between seasons 7 and 8 so she's feeling guilty over those events
I just read the newest chapter and man this was a heated argument. I can't blame Sunset for being upset as she pointed out how Twilight was behaving and even listed off on what Twilights been doing. Even Spike had pointed out on how she was acting out. Princess Twilight finally snaps and says what's been bother her and said she felt replaced because of Sci-Twi. Then the poor girl breaks down crying and I really hope Sunset and Princess Twilight can work things out.
Speaking of the Mt.Aris part in Twilights defense I can't blame her for when she lashed out that time. She was trying to save Equestria from the Storm King while her family, the citizines of Ponyville and even her friends family's were held prisoner but the other five were treating the quest like it was a damn vacation. It was stupid for Pinkie and Rarity to trust Capper right off the bat like that in Klug Town and they all could have got sold off and seperated if they got captured. Then Rainbow Dash was stupid enough to perform a Sonic Rainboom during her little song and dance which lead to Tempest finding them. But the one I was angry at and I honestly hate this character is Queen Novo. Princess Twilight was begging for help but that coward did nothing to help and I wouldn't be surprised if she sold out Equestria to save her own skin and was more concerned with getting beauty treatment. Yes I understand what Twilight did in the movie was wrong trying to steal the pearl but she was desperate and she wanted to save everyone. Sorry for this rant everyone.
Anyway back to the story. Batman has now found out were Riddler is and I liked the Jurassic Park reference when Riddler made that riddle on the computer. I hope he will be careful like Alfred said to him as he will be going up against Death Stroke soon. Though I wonder what the Rainbooms will do next chapter and I honestly hope to see more soon.
Good Luck Battwell.
11422910
Yep
11429237
Good point.
Whoa, mama. Definitely an (appropriately) emotional chapter. Yeah, definitely appreciated the dialogue, characterizations and future chapter set-up. Yeah, there was a fair bit of shouting, but Twilight finally opened up to why she has been acting so out of character - she is only too aware of how many mistakes she has been making lately and feels like she is not needed anywhere. And, yeah, Batman is right in that Riddler making that clue so easy is a pretty good indication that it's a trap. That's why Eddie hired Deathstroke after all.
And, yes, really looking forward to more of this.
11429237
Well it's after the events of Season 8.
The thing is that it's not clear what (if anything) she's blaming herself for here. Or if she's just pitying herself for being ignored.
11429190
Now we'll undoubtedly find out more in the next chapter, but her thoughts have been so wonky it's hard to pin down what exactly she's talking about.
Which to be fair, is not unusual in a emotionally charged discussion.
(wrong answer buzz) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7teTvq2MHH0&ab_channel=ColombiaMadrigal
'On the beach' is WRONG!
Let's look at the riddle again:
"There is one of these called Easter.
With statues of faces made of stone.
If you were on a desert one.
You're probably shipwrecked and alone.
Where am I?"
The correct answer is: On an island.
11429879
Technically both answers are correct, I got the riddle from a riddle website so technically, both answers are right.
11429915
Nope. That riddle is about ISLAND.
You want a beach riddle?
I'm a dividing line at an edge; a squiggle of land lacking rock or ledge. I stretch out far and sometimes wide, but you'll stay dry if you pick my side. There's salt on my breath, and I've sand for feet; you sometimes sit with me in the heat. When waves come to call, I hold them back- keeping your visit right on track. But remember, should they ever choose to rise, those who leave surly are wise.
What am I?
Now, that is rather simplistic for Riddler. But he usually gives easy ones when he is trying to get Batman in a trap.
11430642
Thanks for the suggestion
11430657
Where is the next chapter it's been like 4 days
11432193
God of War Ragnarok
That’s all the explanation I got lol
11432195
Oh man gosh ur playing a long game that's why, and if you beat the game pls continue the story k
Oh now I get it Twilight isn't actually mad at sci-Twi she was just the last straw that broke the camel's back and on another note I think sunset is underestimating how dangerous Equestria can be because if actually think about it ponies just have a high quality of life in comparison to Earth but a Equestria is still pretty dangerous
11429480
Twilight was still in the more wrong.
Not having faith in your friends and then using them as a distraction (That could've worked) to steal.....
wait....If she knows that not everyplace is like Equestria then why is she acting careless here?
Wheres the logic in that?
The problem with the movie is that Twilight could NOT trust her friends to DO WORK. They did NOTHING helpful. Escape onto ship? Pinkie will jump on rope, and make Twilight spend an effort saving Pinkie. Travel quetly in clouds, hidden? Rainbow will fix it with Rainboom, and show the enemies EXACTLY where they are. So no, this argument from Spike just doesn't work.
11458094
Yeah, because YOU will have TRUST in your FRIENDS, who did NOTHING but made you WROK to save their asses. Need I repeat what the guy said?
Pinkie jumps on roap, and Twilight has to workj hard to SAVE her ass! After that Pinkie LAUGHS, as it was a ROLLECOASTER!
They are quetly making way in clouds to the mountain? Rainbow will fix this, and perform a BOOM to point the enemies RIGHT at their position. After that Twilight has to carft a hot air baloon in MID AIR, while her friends are FALLING to their DEATHS!!!
TRUST them. When your kingdom is in ruins, and you need them to pull their WEIGHT, to do WORK, and they just sing and dance.
