> Silver Blizzard > by Pinkiepie321 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue:The Masked.....Filly? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was midnight and everypony in Ponyvilee was sleeping. Well all but five. Four ponies dressed in black were breaking into TickTocks Jewelery shop. The first pony was a short and scrappy unicorn and had a uneven chopped up mane.The second was big and clumsy looking earth pony with a mohawk mane and impossibly short tail. The third pony had a dark grey mane and tail, with white streaks in it. The last pony was obviously the leader. Taller than the first and third ponies but smaller than the second, this one stood tall. He had bright green eyes and a jet black wavy mane and tail.He was the only Pegasi of the group.The third one was trying to turn off the magic spell for the security alarm. "Come on, we haven't got all night" hissed the first one "Do you want to try?" challenged The third one "Would you two shut your traps" snapped the leader "we can't let anybody find us. DO NOT DRAW ATTENTION TO YOURSELVES!" The leader had started to yell at the top of his lungs. His eyes widened and he closed his jaw with an audible "click." He looked around nervously. "Okay" he breathed "I don't think anypony heard us so-" The sound of someone clearing their throat from behind,startled him, and he spun around, eyes squinting looking for the owner of the voice in the shadows. "Ah but that is where you are mistaken." The figure stepped out into the light. It was a foal wearing a white suit with silver markings,like lines going from her neck to her flank. A white mask with similar markings covered her whole head with holes for the eyes,ears and horn. The leader chuckled "Silver Hoof,can you please show this here kid that it's wrong to stick her nose where it doesn't belong. The giant earth pony now known as Silver Hoof stepped forward. "Sure thing boss" He said in a low deep voice, slowly approaching the filly. "Don't worry darling, this'll be all over soon" He mocked. Just as he was in hitting distance, the filly disappeared. The leader was shocked. The filly didn't use a teleportation spell,she was too young for that. Besides her horn didn’t glow. This was something entirely new. Silver Hoof looked around, bewildered. Suddenly the foal appeared in front of him. "How did you " He began but stopped short. A few seconds later,he turned around and started walking towards the others. His eyes were pure white and he walked as if in a trance. "Silver Hoof" whispered the unicorn eyes wide. He stared at his brainwashed comrade for a few more seconds, before bolting for the exit. Just before he reached,the masked pony appeared again and punched him. He went flying backwards, crashing into the Pegasi and the other earth pony. They were all now adequately terrified.They no longer saw a filly playing a game.They saw a grown mare. They saw a dangerous enemy. They saw fear itself. It didn't take much. All the filly had to do was summon a lightning cloud to zap them and they were out cold. It was just too much for them.The masked mare relinquished control on Silver Hoof and left the crime Scene. In just a few days everypony would be wondering who is the masked mare? Well the only one who can answer that is Sweetie Belle > The Newspaper > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sweetie Belle was in The Cutie Mark Crusaders Clubhouse. Even after they got their cutie marks, they still proceeded to do crazy things in between helping others. Today Scootaloo suggested skydiving, as she wanted to know what it felt like to fly. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo rushed in, with The Foal Free Press. "Hey guys!" greeted Sweetie Belle, leaping to her hooves "are you ready?Hey whats with the newspaper? You guys aren't thinking about joing again because the last time didn't turn out so good." "Where we're you the last half hour?" cried Scootaloo, leaping into the air, her wings fluttering like a hummingbirds. "It's about the robbery last night." Sweetie Belles eyes lit up "really? Let me see!" Apple Bloom threw it to her. ROBBERY STOPPED THANKS TO A MASKED.... FILLY Four of the most wanted ponies in all of Equestria, Silver Hoof,Crystal Diamond,Feather Fall and Hoof Pick were trying to break into TickTocks jewellery shop. However they were stopped in their tracks by a mysterious masked filly.The royal guards later found them unconscious. The leader, Crystal Diamond,claimed that she could teleport without a spell, create storm clouds and was stronger than any earth pony. It was confirmed that she was a unicorn. She was described as a filly in a white suit with silver markings with a mask that had markings similar to it. Everypony is asking, who is The Silver Blizzard? "The Silver wah?" asked Sweetie Belle confused. "The Silver Blizzard. That's what ponies are calling her. Ya know, she is wearing silver and white and she has the power to conjure up storm clouds" explained Scootaloo This is what I get for not putting an embalm on my suit. BatPony had the right idea, Sweetie Belle thought, remembering her favourite comic book. "So do they have any idea who this Silver Blizzard is?" Sweetie Belle wanted to see who they were thinking of. "No idea. Lots of theories going from a small mare, to an actual filly. I don't care, I'm just glad that someponies helping others besides us" stated Apple Bloom. "Really? You don't care?" said Sweetie, shocked. "No why should we? As long as this filly is helping thats good enough for us" shrugged Scootaloo. Sweetie grinned "I agree as well. Now weren't we going skydiving today?" Apple Bloom galloped for the door, giggling, with Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo at her tail. Their laughs could be heard all over Ponyville > The Mugging > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After a failed attempt at skydiving,The Cutie Mark Crusaders all went their own ways. Scootaloo was scooting down an alley, smiling,remembering the feeling of wind in her wings.A rustle behind her snapped her out of her thoughts. "Hello?Anypony there?" called Scootaloo,her tail swishing nervously.Heavy breathing confirmed this. Scootaloo slowly backed up, only to run into a broad stallion. "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't see you there. I'll be going now" Scootaloo babbled, starting to run in the other direction. A hoof coming down on her tail stopped her in her tracks. She was slammed against the wall, while another pony,a mare inspected her scooter with interest. "Hey let me go!Thats mine!H-help! Somepony help me!" "Shut her up, will ya?" hissed the mare to the stallion.The stallion nodded and bucked Scootaloo in the stomach. Scootaloo let out a cry of pain. "Won't somepony help me?" she whispered, as the stallion loomed over her. MEANWHILE.... Sweetie Belle was skipping back to Carousal Boutique, when she heard a noise on the other side of town. "Won't somepony help me?" the voice said. Sweetie Belle's heart skipped a beat. Scootaloo! She was in trouble! Sweetie Belle dived behind a dumpster, where no pony could see her. Superhero Scene Go! Sweetie Belle stamped each of her hooves and a white fabric appeared at this bottom of each of them. Spreading up, it covered her body,mane and tail. Once it reached her neck, she nodded her head, causing the mask to appear. She bucked a few times before striking a heroic pose.Then she sprinted off to where the sound was coming from,flames appearing in her tracks. BACK AT THE ALLEY.... The stallion had bucked Scootaloo into a wall and slammed her into the ground, twice. She was just about to give up when she heard a gravelly voice "leave her alone." The stallion looked up, startled, to see a backhoof coming down. He flew across the alley, landing at the mares feet. The mares eyes widened,seeing a filly dressed up in some kind of outfit, and tried to run in the other direction, but the filly was already there.The filly stamped her hoof and ice spread across the path. Huh, thought Sweetie Belle, that's new. The mares legs flailed, trying to keep her balance, before collapsing in a heap and The Silver Blizzards hooves. The Silver Blizzard teleported them to a place they could never hurt her friends again. In Celestias Castle Dungeon.. The guards were doing normal routine when two horses, a mare and a stallion appeared in a cell."Where did they come from?" asked the younger guard. The older guard shrugged "Celestia knows." And they continued on their jobs. "Are you okay" Sweetie Belle asked Scootaloo. Scootaloo nodded. "Ar-Are you Th-The Silver Blizzard?" Scootaloo stammered, torn between shock and awe. Sweetie Belle winked and teleported back to Carousal Boutique. > The Angry Rainbow Dash > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainbow Dash was clearing the skies, yeah take that! and that, when she saw Scootaloo. "What's up squirt?" asked Rainbow Dash casually. Then she did a double take. Scootaloo was limping,had a black eye and her back left hoof was raised off the ground. "What happened to you?" whispered Rainbow Dash, taking it all in once more. "I was mugged" panted Scootaloo. Rainbow Dash frowned and picked her up, racing for the pony doctors. FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER.. Rainbow Dash was in the waiting room, flipping through magazines, when Doctor Whooves walked in. Rainbow jumped to her hooves "How is she? Is she alright?" she demanded "Calm down Ms. Dash, she's fine.One of her back hind legs were sprained and she has a black eye, but if it wasn't for, and I quote "The Silver Pony" it would be a lot worse.She says she wants you now." Rainbow Dash trotted into the room to see Scootaloo with a bandage on her leg and an ice pack on her eye. "He Squirt" Rainbow said, softly for once. "Hey Rainbow Dash" said Scootaloo cheerfully, despite the cast on her leg. "Are you okay? What happened?" asked Rainbow looking her up and down critically. Scootaloo explained everything, from walking down the alley, to the mugging, to the Silver Blizzard, to here. "Oh no! My scooter" Scootaloo realized "I left it in the alley!" Rainbow Dash stared off into the distance "I'll get it for you later,but first,where did they go? When I find them,I'll make what The Silver Blizzard did seem like foals play!" Rainbow Dash was practically seething now. "Rainbow Dash" said Scootaloo cautiously "it's alright, they're gone now. They can't hurt me or anypony else again." "Yes b-bu-but" Rainbow Dash collapsed "I should of have protected you! I should of been there!I'm your sister!" "And you can't always be there for me" Scootaloo said gently "one day I'm going to have to do things on my own without somepony watching over me." "I know your right" Rainbow sniffled. Was she.. crying "It-Its-just-just so" she was cut of as Scootaloo pulled her into a hug.And that iis the same position Dr. Whooves found them in almost an hour later. > Friendly Neighbourhood Rainbow Dash PT.1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It had been almost a month since "The Scootaloo incident" as it was now being called and there was no sign of The Silver Blizzard, which was annoying for Rainbow Dash. All she wanted to do was thank The Silver Blizzard for helping Scootaloo, but there was no sign of her.Rainbow didn't want to thank the masked hero,no, she wanted to thank the filly behind the mask. But how? Rainbow Dash was up in her cloud house, when she had an idea. I was able to find out who Mysterious Mare-Do-Well was because she showed up after I became a superhero. That's it! I'll find out who she is by drawing her out then I'll thank her in pony [person???] she thought to herself.With that, Rainbow Dash flew out the window. "There has to be somepony that needs saving" said Rainbow Dash, doing a barrel roll mid air. "Somepony help"Oh please help!" a young mares voice rang out. Rainbow dive bombed towards the sound. "Thief!" the young mare said, pointing a hoof at the retreating figure. They were so far away, it was impossible to see if it was a mare or a stallion. [For the sake of story telling that it's a stallion.] Rainbow paused for a moment then flew off in the direction the stallion was heading.By now, he was just a dot. The air around Rainbow Dash began to compress, her ears flattened, her eyes watered, the corners of her mouth pulled back and with a loud "whooom!" she performed a sonic rainboom. She was catching up to the figure with every passing second, when she heard a sound of hoofsteps directly beneath her. "Wah?" Rainbow said, slowing down to look down, only to find nothing. She looked back up and gasped. The thief was chained to a lampost and ponies were cheering. Following their line of sight.Rainbow Dash saw a small figure on top of the mayors office, searching the crowds with light green eyes, before nodding once and disappearing ."Hey you!" called Rainbow, flying up to meet her. But by the time she was up there, The Silver Blizzard was gone. queHMMM,The Silver Blizzard has light green eyes, thought Rainbow. And with that she took off for Carousal Boutique. > Friendly Neighbourhood Rainbow Dash PT.2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainbow Dash trotted into Rarity's shop. "Hey Rarity" she said glancing around the shop "is Sweetie Belle here?" Rarity looked up,startled to see the pegasi in her shop "uh no,she went out to town,why." Rainbow Dash didn't answer for a moment,just glanced around the shop. "Okay" Rainbow Dash lowered her voice two octaves "you say you know everyponies eye color so you know which dress matches who, yes?" Rarity nodded "why yes,darling,but I don't see how that has to do with-" "I need you to write me a list of all light green eyed ponies in ponyville" interrupted Rainbow, stamping her hoof emphatically. Rarity looked really confused,but did as she was told. "There you go but why do you need it exactly?" Rainbow Dash frowned,then remembered that she hadn't exactly explained the situation clearly. "Oh right sorry. Well I want to thank The Silver Blizzard in pony,not with that outfit on,so I decided to become a superhero too. I failed BUT I now know that The Silver Blizzard has light green eyes,so I'm going to hunt down all green eyed ponies and see where they were at the time." Rarity frowned "are you sure you want to do that? What if you have to unmask here in front of everypony?" she asks ,concerned. Rainbow Dash shrugged "then more ponies will thank her, I guess, and all the better for her." She grinned satisfied with herself then picked up the list and flew out the window. Rarity shook her head "I have a bad feeling about this," she muttered, shaking her head. Sweetie Belle trotted in "hey sis" she said cheerfully "what's up?" Rarity shook her head,this time in bafflement "Rainbow Dash wants to unmask The Silver Blizzard so she can thank her in person, and she noticed that she had green eyes, do I gave her a list of ponies with light green eyes." Sweetie Belles own light green eyes widened "what! Is she insane?! Wait, you didn't put my name on the list,did you?" Rarity nodded. Sweetie Belle's eyebrows went so high they practically vanished. "Uh gotta go bye!" she exclaimed diving for the door,swinging it open and leaping out back into Ponyville. Rarity sighed "fillies" she sighed ***** Rainbow Dash spent the whole day looking at all kinds of ponies from Apple Jack to Joe's Donut, but she still wasn't any closer to finding out who she was. The very last pony on the list was simply Sweetie Belle. Rainbow Dash crossed it off without a second thought, and stuffed it into her bag. Just then Sweetie Belle raced past and bumped into her. "Sorry!" she called over her shoulder. Rainbow Dash shrugged and gave up for the day,promising herself that she would search the green eyed suspects homes tommorow. Unbeknowest to Rainbow, Sweetie Belle was already burning the list. That night, Rainbow Dash decided to look at the list to try and make sense of it. To her shock, it was gone. "What!Nonononononono! I must of have dropped it! But where" she wailed pulling at her mane. She climbed miserably back to bed. What am I going to do she thought in anguish. How am I going to thank her when she won't even try to talk to me. And with that, a new plan began to form in her mind. Rainbow Dash grinned. Yes, it might work, no, she corrected herself, it WILL work. While Rarity tucked Sweetie Belle safely into bed, Rainbows plan quickly began to solidify. > Friendly Neighbourhood Rainbow Dash PT.3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainbow Dash had chosen her spot well, a narrow alley, on the outskirts of Ponyville, so that nopony would be able to hear her. Taking a deep breath in she screamed loudly "HELP!SOMEPONY PLEASE HELP!" Far away, in Ponyville Schoolhouse , Scootaloo was repeating her story again to her other classmates. "That is so cool" said Diamond Tiara. Ever since she had stood up for The Cutie Mark Crusadors, they had become close friends. "I can't belive you got to meet THE Silver Blizzard!" Twist said, eyes round in awe. Snips nodded viigoursly "y-yeah a-and SHE WINKED AT YOU!" he gushed. Sweetie Belle ,who was watching this with a smile on her face, suddenly froze. Her ears twitched backwards and suddenley she heard Rainbow Dashs voice, calling for help. Without hesitating, she raised her hoof "uh Miss Cherilee, may I go to the bathroom, I feel kind'a sick" she held her stomach, to prove the point. Cherilee, eyes round in sympathy,nodded. Diamond Tiara looked at her new friend with concern. "Are you going to be alright?" she asked. Sweetie Belle nodded then walked as slowly as she could let herself allow, to the toilet. Once inside, Sweetie Belle transformed and teleported herself into the middle of Ponyville. Spinning around, she raced to the direction of the voice. In seconds, she rounded a corner to the alley where Rainbow Dash was in. She was going so fast, she didn't notice Rainbow Dash appear right in front of her, until it was too late, and she crashed into her. She collapsed in a heap at Rainbow Dash's hooves. Rainbow Dash got the breath knocked out of her but quickly recovered. "Lets see who you are" she said, gripping the mask between her teeth. Sweetie Belle was trapped. She couldn't hurt Rainbow Dash but she couldn't run or teleport away, if somepony was touching her when she did it, they traveled as well. Oh, I am SO sorry Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle thought to herself. With that, she summoned a energy blast to knock Rainbow Dash unconscious. Except, Rainbow Dash managed to fly up and dodge it, before releasing a volley of hits and kicks, trying to wear her down. What can I do? moaned Sweetie Belle inside her head.Rainbow Dash,seeing a chink in her amour, aimed at her legs.Sweetie Belle leaped and the blow passed beneath her.Quickly she teleported behind Rainbow Dash, who instantly turned around and leaped at her. Sweetie Belle used her speed to back up four feet and used her newest power, ice. Stamping her hoof, the ground where Rainbow was about to land turned to ice. Rainbow Dashs eyes widened and her wings spread, but it was too late. She was to close to the ground to do anything but crash face first into the ice and skid into a wall. Sweetie Belle listened to Rainbow Dashs steady breathing and let out a relived breath. "Just unconscious" she said aloud, before The Silver Blizzard turned and ran back to the schoolhouse, vowing to herself that she would never fall for one of Rainbows tricks again. She raced back to class in time for lessons to start. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom gave her a look that said "Where were you?" when she trotted back in. She too her seat beside them "I'll explain later" she whispered. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo nodded, satisfied, for now. Sweetie sighed, this was not going to be easy. > Friendly Neighbourhood Rainbow Dash PT.4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Okay class" Ms. Cherilee said looking around at her faithful students "if your on your own in a dark alley and a pony asks for money or he'll hurt you,what do you do?" Diamond Tiara raised her hoof "like The Silver Blizzard? She fights ponies like that all the time?" Ms. Cherilee nodded "yes,like The Silver Blizzard." "Simple" called Apple Bloom "ah, would use my energy blast." Scootaloo stared at her "no! You should clearly use super strength or mind control it's cooler." Apple Bloom frowned "is not." "Is to" "Is not" "Is to" "Is not" "Is to" "Is not" "Is to" "Is not" "IS TOO!" "IS NOT!" "Well I think flight is The Silver Blizzards coolest power" said Diamond Tiara breaking up the fight. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo stared at her for a while then grinned. "She's got a point" conceded Apple Bloom. Scootaloo nodded "yeah flying is pretty cool." "Hang on" Sweetie Belle interrupted. The other three fillies looked at her. "Since when could The Silver Blizzard fly?" "Since forever" stated Scootaloo,like it was obvious. The truth of it was Sweetie Belle had tried to see if she could fly when she had first discovered her powers. She had failed. Miserably, ending with a broken leg and a black eye. "Yeah Sweets, how could you have not known about that?" questioned Apple Bloom, not knowing that she was talking to The Silver Blizzard right now. "Speaking of which where did you go just now?" asked Scootaloo. Sweetie Belle smiled slightly. "Okay you got me. I was trying to read up on The Silver Blizzard without Ms. Cherilee noticing. You know how she hates to be interrupted." "Exactly" said Ms. Cherilee "so please pay attention." The four fillies flattened their ears and turned to the board once more. ***** Rainbow Dash was flying up to her cloud house, thinking over what just happened. "Stupid!" she cursed herself. Of course The Silver Blizzard would put up a fight,who wouldn't? Now she would be wary of her. Dang it! How was she supposed to- A light brown streak slammed into Rainbow Dash,knocking her out of her thoughts. "Woah!" she yelped as she landed on her side in the ground. A light brown pegasi with a purple mane landed and started kicking Rainbow Dash. She vaugely recalled a warning going around about an escaped convict. She did the only thing she could do, she opened her mouth and screamed as loud as she could "HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLPPPP!!!!" Sweetie Belle's ear twitched. Oh no, she was NOT going to fall for that one again. Rainbow Dash was slowly being beaten into the ground. "Somepony, anypony help" she gurgled, spitting out blood. Sweetie Belle froze. She could hear Rainbow Dash getting kicked. She glanced up, hoping that Ms. Cherilee would let her leave when the bell luckily sounded for reccess. Breathing a sigh of relief, she raced out of the classroom, calling over her shoulder "I wil be right back! I have to run an errand for Rarity!" Diamond Tiara, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo shrugged. It wasn't unusual, Rarity asked Sweetie Belle of something and she usually forgot. Rainbow Dash's assaulter had pushed her up against the wall. He was about to punch again when a silver streak hit him,sending him sprawling. Rainbow rubbed her eyes.Standing over him was The Silver Blizzard. She looked at him for a second then teleported him back into his cell in prison, before turning to Rainbow Dash. "I know you want to thank me for saving Scootaloo, but this isn't thee way, I was happy to help her." And with that The Silver Blizzard vanished into thin air, leaving Rainbow Dash, bloody and beaten in the middle of the street. DEAR DIARY TODAY I TRIED TO REVEAL THE SILVER BLIZZARDS SECRET IDENTITY JUST SO I COULD SAY THANK YOU,WITHOUT A THOUGHT FOR HER LOVED ONES. I LEARNED THAT SOMETIMES SECRETS ARE BEST KEPT.... WELL SECRETS- RAINBOW DASH > The Mayors Mistake PT.1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Silver Blizzard went missing for two months. Many ponies were confused. Why save ponies but then a few weeks later, disappear? Only Rainbow Dash knew why. She knew The Silver Blizzard felt guilty for not coming when she called for help a second time, even though it was completely reasonable. It was Rainbow Dash's own fault, she knew it. She remembered when Scootaloo doubted her flying abilities and decided not to represent Ponyville in the Equestria games. It was eerily similar. Bandits and thieves were invading Ponyville once more. It was a bright and sunny morning and Mayor Mare had decided to pull a town meeting just outside the town hall. Everypony in Ponyville was there, chatting and joking, but when she stepped onto the newly built stage, hush fell. "Thank you everypony for coming today" Mayor Mare said "we are here to discuss our biggest dilemma, The Silver Blizzard." There was an immediate outcry, some believing that The Silver Blizzard was a problem that needed to be fixed while others believed that she was a hero, not a villain. Sweetie Belle stayed quiet, not knowing what to say. Mayor Mare cleared her throat. Hush fell once more. "Thank you. Know as I was saying, The Silver Blizzard has been helping Ponyville for three weeks, and I will commend her for that. However" she glanced at the crowd "I believe that Ponyville does not need her anymore. So I have permission from Celestia to set up The Ponyville Police!" Everypony looked at each other before turning back to the stage with renewed interest. "They will reinforce the law" continued Mayor Mare, seeing as she had every bodies attention "stamp out thieves and robbers and kidnappers.We even have a few new laws" Sweetie Belle sat up straight.She was considering taking up her old..job as it were. This is good, she thought,imagining The Silver Blizzard and the police working together to fight crime. "One of those rules, is that The Silver Blizzard will be put in jail if found." Pure silence spread over the clearing. Even Pinkie Pie was quiet, a cupcake she was eating halfway to her mouth stopped. Sweetie Belle nearly fell forward onto her face. "Now wait just a minute" objected Rainbow Dash, rising into the air. Mayor Mare held up a hoof. "I know what your thinking but we need to be able to defend ourselves without The Silver Blizzard, and as mayor I hereby ban The Silver Blizzard. If anypony has any information on who she may be, please come forward." Rarity looked at Rainbow Dash out of the corner of her eye. Rainbow Dash knew The Silver Bizzard's eye color, but she wasn't speaking up. Should she? On cue, Rainbow Dash looked at her and gave her the tiniest shake of her head,no. Rarity nodded and turned back to the now empty stage. A few seconds later, a lightly built stallion with a navy blue coat and a white and cyan mane stepped up onto the stage. "Hello there" he said, voice fast and lively "my name is Officer Shield or, Golden Shield as it where, and I'm captain of the Ponyville Police. I can promise you that I will do anything in my power to keep Ponyville safe from harm!" Everyone clapped their hooves and wolf whistled. Officer Shield bowed then stepped down from the stage. Sweetie Belle sighed. It was going to be a long night. > The Mayors Mistake PT.2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hostage situation at BonBons sweet shop, sir"a pegasi reported to Shield. Shield nodded then turned to his squad "alright, you heard him.Move out." The squad filed out evenly. They had just reached the sweet shop, two full grown stallions flew out the window, spraying glass everywhere. Seconds later a silver figure leaped out after them,landing gracefully on her hooves. "The Silver Blizzard" breathed Chief Shield. He was in shock. He had heard stories but he thought that maybe she was just some kind of legend. A unicorn filly with superpowers? Doubtful. And yet here she was in flesh and mane. In the split second that it took for him to regain his senses, Sweetie Belle had taken in the Policeponies and knew they were no threat, turned back to the robbers. "Quick!" shouted Chief Shield,pointing a hoof at Sweetie Belle."Get the Anti-Blizzard guns, now!" The guns in question were bright silver with a small pure white rectangle jutting out from underneath. Sweetie Bell frowned. She had been expecting counter measurements but THIS? A gun? Really? Sweetie Belle wanted to laugh at their stupidity. Chief Shield pressed down on the trigger and a silver white beam shot out and hit The Silver Blizzard. Sweetie Belle fell thrashing on the ground. The beam hurt, it hurt like fire. Oh Celestia, please help, she thought in pure undeniable anguish. Oh please. Chief Shield cautiously lowered the gun and motioned for two of his horses to collect the bandits while he approached the now unconscious Silver Blizzard. "Lets see who you are" he murmured,peeling back the face mask. The Silver Blizzards eyes snapped open at the last second, grabbed his hoof, put her back hooves on her stomach and pushed. Chief Officer Shield went flying backwards. One of the officers reached for the gun and hit Sweetie once more. Wincing, she shot a lightning bolt at him,rendering him unconscious. Sweetie Belle tried to run away, but crashed face first into another wall. "Whats with me and smashing into walls these days?" she said, so softly that no-one could hear her. Then broken,beaten and bloodied The Silver Blizzard teleported herself into her bedroom. > The Mayors Mistake PT.3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sweetie Belle angrily stuffed her book called "How to be a superhero" into her closet. It wasn't like she would be needing it anymore Oh no. The Ponyville Police could handle it just FINE without her. She wasn't wanted, okay, that was fine. It wasn't like she cared or anything... so then why am I crying? Sweetie quickly brushed away the tears. "Sweetie Belle!" Rarities voice drifted from upstairs. "Can you please go and fetch the pastries I ordered from SugarCube Corner?" Sweetie Belle tried to put as much cheer into her voice as she could "okay,I'll be right back!" she said bounding out of Carousel Boutique. Sweetie kept up a smile right up till the counter, where she met Pinkie Pie. "Hey, Sweets! Whats wrong?" she asked instantly. Sweetie Belle frowned "how do you know somethings wrong?" she squinted at Pinkie Pie, who shrugged. "Smiles all wrong" before Sweetie Belle could process what she just said, Pinkie Pie tilted her head "is this about you being The Silver Blizzard?" she asked, eyes wide. Sweetie reeled back, shocked "h-how do you know about that?" Oh no, please don't tell anyone, please don't tell anyone. Pinkie Pie giggled "I know everything about everypony! Don't worry I won't tell anyone" Pinkie paused,then said "you know, I used to be a superhero like you as well." Sweetie Belle sat up"what!?" she screamed at the top of her lungs. Pinkie motioned for her to be quiet, flattening her ears, a blush appearing, Sweetie Belle complied. "My name was The Mysterious Mare Do Well" explained Pinkie Pie, with a far away look in her eye. Sweetie blinked, too shocked for words. Pinkie Pie was The Mysterious Mare Do Well all along? The same mare who had inspired her to use her powers for good? WOW! Sweetie Belle had soooo many questions. Was it this hard for her? for example or how did she manage to lead two lives? Pinkie Pie shook herself and turned to Sweetie "but that's enough about me, whats wrong, Sweetie Belle?" With a sigh, Sweetie told her everything, from Rainbow Dash trying to capture her, to the fight with the policeponies. "And there is no more Silver Blizzard anymore. I am hanging up my cape, metaphorically or course as I don't own a cape. The policeponies can handle themselves just FINE without me." Pinkie Pie clucked her tongue "come with me. I have something to show you." Sweetie Belle noticed that for some reason, Pinkie Pies hair had gone completely straight. They walked outside. "Look" Pinkie Pie gestured to where Winona, Apple Jacks dog, was trotting alongside the road. Chief Officer Shield caught up to her, walked beside her, and kicked Winona right into the middle of the road, directly in front of a carriage! At the last second however, Officer Shield grabbed Winona from under the carriages wheels. Ponies cheered while he put a show of putting Winona down safely onto the ground. Sweetie Belles jaw dropped. Pinkie Pie bent down and hissed "not everything is as it seems, Sweets. Remember that." Sweetie Belle blinked "w-why are you helping me?" she quavered. Pinkie Pie smiled "two reasons. One, only you can protect this town from danger. That is what your destiny is to be. Why you even said it yourself" she gestured towards Sweeties cutie mark "you got your cutie mark for helping ponies in need. And you are, just doing it a bit differently than the other Cutie Mark Crusadors." Sweetie Belle smiled as she realized her destiny was to be The Silver Blizzard. "Two" she said" you said two." "Pinkie smiled back "there's that smile! Two, you have the word "Sweet" in your name. And I happen to love sweets." Mrs. Cake popped her head out the door. "Oh Pinkie Pie! Necklace from Maude!" she cried, holding out a rock necklace. Pinkie Pie's mane poofed back into shape when she saw the necklace. "Oh okay then, bye Sweetie Belle, I hope you will think about what I said!" she called over her shoulder as she trotted back into Sugarcube Corner. "Here you go Sweetie" said Mrs. Cake passing Sweetie Belle a box full of pastries. "Thank you Mrs. Cake!" cried Sweetie Belle, setting off, then, lowering her voice to a murmur, she said " I'll think about it Pinkie, I pinkie promise." That night Sweetie Belle picked up her book "how to be a superhero" and started at page one. If she was going to do this, she was going to do this right. And even as she read, her mind kept turning. Law breakers were now more common but they were still extremely cautious. And yet the same night the Police had com to Ponyville robbers had decided to break the law? It just didn't make any sense. Unless, the thieves had been put up to it.Another thing: that gun could of have killed her and yet the Mayor specifically asked the Police to arrest her. So The Ponyville Police were faking at least SOME of the crimes and wanted to make sure that The Silver Blizzard was kept out of the way, so they created a gun that could hurt her. But what am I going to do? Sweetie Belle thought, as sleep overtook her.If I attack them, it looks like I'm the bad guy, but if I keep letting them do this, someponies bound to get hurt. But slowly and surely, a plan, though weak, and not very strong began to take place deep in her subconscious. As Sweetie Belle slept, a smile spread accross her face. It might work. However, it was going to take a while. Days, weeks maybe even months. But it'll all be worth it she thought to herself, in the end. Pinkie Pie was right, she realized, there really is more than meet the eye, and no more so than with me. Look out cops because in a few weeks time, you are as good as dead. > The Mayors Mistake PT4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hostage Situations at Saint Cloppels street" the magic text red. Chief Shield frowned "hostage situation but there wasn't meant to be one until at least two weeks in-" he cut himself off, realizing that the other pony officers were staring at him. "I,uh mean, hostage situations rarely happen, and usually if there's going to be on, it takes two to three weeks AT LEAST" he said quickly. This seemed to work, as the other PolicePonies shrugged and got out their weapons, for pegasi and earth ponies, swords, batons and a anti-Blizzard gun, for unicorns magic. It took them a second to reach there. A young pony, dressed in black, was holding down both Scootaloo and Apple Bloom. Chief Shield strode forward. He could hear, Rarity, Apple Jack and Rainbow sigh with relief. In their eyes, he had stopped two robberies and at least four foalnappings, all paid to do so by him. Still this mare shouldn't b too hard. "Let them go" he commanded, puffing out his chest importantly "by order of Ponyville Police, you are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent." The masked pony snickered "I know what you did Golden Shield" the masked pony, now identified as a mare,said. Officer Shield felt his blood run cold. "I-I have no idea what your talking about" he stammered, flattening his ears. The masked mare tilted her head "oh but I think you do. So" she gestured towards the now huge crowd "what better time than now to tell them." Shaking his head wildly, Chief Shield tried to back up, only to remember the huge crowd that was blocking his way. A split second later Chief Shield was on his stomach, with his hoof wrenched up by the mare. "Confess!" she hissed angrily, jerking the hoof up a few notches. Panting with pain, Shield blurted "okay! Okay! I set up those crimes! I did it all! All of it!" Rarity gasped "the foalnappings?" Chief Shield nodded. "I paid two of my horses here to foalnap two foals so I could rescue them" he admitted "The robbery at BonBons sweet shop?" questioned Rainbow Dash. Chief Shield looked down at the ground and sighed. Lyra had to hold back an angry BonBon. "The other two break ins?" frowned Apple Jack. "All me" confirmed Golden Shield "all of it." The crowd parted to let the mayor through "I am horrified to what I am hearing. Chef Shield, you are stripped of your PolicePony duties and you and all the rest of The Ponyville Police are hereby banished from Ponyville." Apple Jack turned to look back at Golden Shield "Pinkie Pie, you can leave him alone now, he confessed." Golden Shields assailant jumped off his back, and took off her mask, sure enough was Pinkie Pie. The crowd gasped. "But how?" Mayor Mare murmured. Rainbow shrugged "Pinkie Pie came to us two weeks ago, telling us about how Golden Shield had pushed Winona in front of a carriage before saving her, to get the glory. She wanted to expose him, but we needed proof. So we asked Scootaloo and Apple Bloom to pretend to be hostages and Pinkie Pie would make him confess. And it worked a charm" explained Rainbow Dash. Suddenley, Golden Shield began cackling, an evil, insane laugh. "You think you can get rid of me that easily" he laughed "no, I will be back, and I will have my revenge!" With a loud roar, he sprung directly at Scootaloo and Apple Bloom, smashing their heads against the concrete ground, killing them both instantly. Or at least he would of have, if not for at the last second The Silver Blizzard wove her away in front of Scootaloo and Apple Bloom, blocking them from the instant kill. Sweetie Belle was flung backwards and hit her head multiple times. She staggered to her hooves, to find the end of the Anti- Blizzard gun pointed at her. Wincing in anticipation, she did the only thing she could think of, Sweetie Belle summoned a thunder cloud and zapped the gun out of Shields grip. BAM! Golden Shield fell to the ground, spitting up blood with the loss of his two front teeth. Sweetie Belle bucked him once in the stomach, causing him to cough up more blood. She reared up above him, ready to inflict some REAL damage, when Pinkie Pie spoke up "stop it" she said with an authoritative voice. It took a few minutes for Sweetie to regain her senses but when she did, she was instantly horrified. I was going to- No don't even think about it she told herself. I almost killed him, a small part of her brain whispered. But I didn't and that's what matters. Pinkie Pie grabbed hold of Shield "don't worry, Blizzard, I'll take him to a place where he'll never lie or hurt anypony ever again." Sweetie Belles horn sparked as it always did when she was curious then teleported out of there.The crowd quickly broke up, leaving just Apple Bloom and Scootaloo. They watched with interest at the sparks. Apple Bloom whispered "Sweetie Belle?" Scootaloo nodded in amazement watching the light green sparks that they knew came out of their friends horn vanish. > Confessions Of a Filly Superhero > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The CMC were in their clubhouse. Sweetie Belle, who was suffering from sleep deprivation, yawned and wondered why Apple Bloom and Scootaloo called A Cutie Mark Crusaders Emergency Meeting so early in the morning. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo looked at each other, wondering who should speak first. They were accusing Sweetie Belle of lying to them after all. "Hey Sweetie can we ask you something?" asked Scootaloo, nervously. Sweetie Belle raised an eyebrow and nodded. "Are you The Silver Blizzard?" Apple Bloom blurted out, before slapping a hoof over her mouth. Sweetie Belles eyes widened. "What!?" she screeched, leaping to her hooves, and beginning to pace across the floor. "Oh please don' be mad at us" apologized Apple Bloom "we saw a green spark and-" Sweetie Belle who wasn't listening turned to them and snarled "okay, who snitched? Tell me NOW!" Scootaloo and Apple Blooms moths dropped."You mean, you actually are The Silver Blizzard?" Scootaloo asked. Sweetie snorted "of course. But who told?" Apple Bloom and Scootaloo exchanged looks. "Nopony. We figured it out when we saw a light green spark from your horn." Sweetie Belle sighed "okay. That's fine, just please don't tell anypony, Pinkie Promise?" Apple Bloom and Scootaloo did the hoof motions for a Pinkie Promise. "Good. Now then" Sweetie Belle sat back at her haunches and looked at her two bestest friends in the whole world. "What do you want to do?" "Well I for one, want to see your powers. I only got a quick glance when you were saving me from those muggers" suggested Scootaloo. Apple Bloom nodded vigorously. Sweetie Belle spent the rest of the day, doing tricks for Apple Bloom and Scootaloo. First she would give Apple Bloom a apple and she and Scootaloo would go to the other side of the farm. Sweetie using her incredible eyesight, would start running the second Apple Bloom dropped the apple and would catch it just as it was about to hit the ground. Next she would lift boulders and blast them to shreds with just one hoofkick. Apple Bloom, in particular seemed extremely impressed at this. Sweetie Belle would summon storm clouds low near the ground for Scootaloo to kick, much to her delight. Sometimes she made them zoom away just as Scootaloo was about to kick it, causing a chase to begin. Sweetie Belle refrained from using her ice or energy blast, as it would draw a lot of unwanted attention. "Well that's just about everything" Sweetie panted "oh and by the way, despite contrary belief, I can't fly, so don't ask me to do that." Scootaloo looked sheepish "sorry about that" she muttered. Sweetie Belle waved away her apology "nah it's fine, listen, I gotta go home now, Rarity will have a fit if I don't get back by sunset. And remember do NOT tell a soul." Scootaloo and Apple Bloom nodded solemnly before going their separate ways.Rarity found her sister fast asleep, and quietly closed the door. > Twilights Studies PT.1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight Sparkle was in her castle, pouring over her books, trying to find the answer to her question. How can a filly teleport without magic?The other powers didn't bother Twilight, those could just be put down as being fast or strong for a unicorn and an energy blast wasn't a hard spell to learn. But teleporting without magic? Not even Discord could do that! So how did she do it? Twilight had spent the better of two weeks searching through books trying to get a decent answer besides "superhero." "You know what I need Spike?" asked Twilight suddenley. Spike looked up cautiously "what?" Twilight smiled " a blood sample." Spike was shocked. What, did Twilight think that she was just going to waltz right up and demand a blood sample. Like, that would work. "Umm what?" he squinted at her, trying to see if she had lost her mind again. "If I'm going to find out how she does those weird things, I need to find a scientific reason. If I want to find a scientific reason,I need a DNA sample" insisted Twilight, before flying out of her castle. Spike sighed "oh boy." ***** Twilight ,who was finally getting the hang of the whole flying thing, did a quick barrel roll mid air, thinking about The Silver Blizzard. When she had first heard of her, she had assumed that Crystal Diamond had imagined that The Silver Blizzard teleported without a spell. But when Apple Jack confirmed it,Twilight knew it must of have been the truth. "I can't wait!" a light green pegasus,with a shamrock for a cutie mark, exclaimed to her friend, a pink pegasi,with a a cutie mark of cotton candy. "I know!" squealed her friend, pink mane twitching. Pinkie Pie would LOVE to make friends with her, Twilight thought, amused. "Can you imagine meeting THE Silver Blizzard!?" Twilight snapped her head back at the shamrock ponies words. "What did you say? That there is a chance that somepony might meet The Silver Blizzard?" Twilight asked excitedly. The two pegasi, realizing that they were flying with royalty,bowed their heads hastily. "Princess, we are SO sorry, we didn't realize you were there" apologized Shamrock. "Yeah Lucky Clover was just s excited to talk to me about Silver Blizzard Day" The pink pegasi explained. "Silver Blizzard Day?" question Twilight,feeling confused about the whole thing. "My name is Candy Floss" the pink pegasi introduced herself "and Mare Mayor,feeling guilty if trying to buck [kick] The Silver Blizzard out of town is giving her the key to the town in honor of her.We're also going to release balloons up into the air. I am in charge of that. Well me and some other pony, called Pinkie Pie. I hope we get along" she touched her pink mane as if to check it was still there. "I think you will get along fine" promised Twilight, smiling at Candy Floss. "Wait you said that somepony might meet the Silver Blizzard, who?" Lucky Clover blinked slightly "The Silver Blizzard is coming to accept the key and is giving a speech to all of Ponyville onstage, why?" Twilights eyes widened. This could be her only chance "oh I'm just a fan" she answered quickly, before flying away, preparation's already taking place in her mind.If she could get a blood sample, she could see what was in her DNA, and discover how she did all those strange things. For a brief second a picture of Pinkie Pie appeared in her mind. "Remember what happened there" a little voice in her head whispered "just accept what she can do like Pinkie's Pinkie Sense, before it's to late. Twilight quickly shut down that voice. "No I need to find out. Pinkie Sense is just Pinkie being Pinkie, this was WAY different. Pinkie cannot teleport xcough yeah she can xcoughx The Silver Blizzard could. And Twilight Sparkle needed to find out how. > Twilights Studies PT.2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Equestria has been ravaged by thieves for these past few months and none more so than Ponyville" Mayor Mare said to the large crowd gathered. She pounded her front hooves on the wooden podium. "But that is in the past now thanks to The Silver Blizzard" she gestured to the silvery blue ribbon that hung from a banner saying "Thank You Silver Blizzard!" on it. A silence fell, ponies looking this way and that,trying to find their hero. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo exchanged worried glances. Sweetie Belle had been reluctant to receive this award, deciding to stay at home. It took three full hours for Apple Bloom and Scootaloo to persuade her to come. Did she change her mind? The crowd looks everywhere they can, but no Silver Blizzard. The crowd turn around and sadly walk back to their homes, when a bright flash of silver is noticed out of the corner of Diamond Tiara's eye. "Look!" she exclaimed,pointing dramatically. The crowd turns around and gasps. With one hoof raised and in a beautifully made costume, The Silver Blizzard looked stunning. Even Apple Bloom and Scootaloo felt shocked. In that outfit, their dearest friend looked entirely different from just yesterday, too calm and serious. Sweetie Belle gave the crowd a awkward wave of her hoof. I never did handle big crowds well, she remembered. The Silver Blizzard stepped up to the podium beside The Mayor, who murmured "I am sorry for what I did to you." Sweetie accepted this with a brief nod of her head. Then lifting her head high, she looked at the group of ponies gathered there. All so familiar,all wearing a Silver Blizzard T-shirt [they have dresses] or some other kind of merchandise. They all looked so different and yet Sweetie Belle could say each and every one of their names on sight. Realizing that the crowds were waiting for something, Sweetie bucked the air, before teleporting herself beside a flower bed. Quickly prising a dandelion between her teeth, Sweetie Belle teleported beside Silver Spoon and gave her it. Silver Spoon was shocked. Her whole life she had got exactly what she wanted,yet there was no love in this. And here was a filly her own age giving her the smallest most heartfelt and most precious gift Silver Spoon could ever get. She looked back up at the Silver Blizzard,tears in her eyes. The Silver Blizzard smiled once before teleporting back onto stage. Twilight had worked her way onto the stage. "As the Princess of Friendship,I would like to thank you for protecting Ponyville in ways even the Elements of Harmony couldn't." The crowd erupted into cheers, and hoof stamps and wolf whistles. Sweetie Belle saw Spike look up at her in adoration mumbling something about "Power Ponies," whatever that means. Twilight gave Sweetie Belle a quick pat on the shoulder, and if Sweetie Belle had been paying attention, she would of have felt a sharp prick of pain, as the tiny microsopic needle drew a few drops of blood out of her. Twilight smiled. She was already halfway there in accomplishing her goals. Sweetie Belle, remembering somepony telling her that Twilight was confused on how she teleported without magic, winked slyly at her and vanished once again into thin air,leaving Twilight in the metaphorical dust. > Twilights Studies PT.3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deep underneath Twilight's castle,dark magic was at work. Twilight Sparkle and her assistant, Spike were watching in horror and fascination as The Silver Blizzards DNA was placed in a giant tube. Twilight pulled down on a lever and slowly but surely, the tiny bit of blood began to change. First it seemed to solidify, until it was almost rock like. Then it began to stretch out, forming legs, a body and a head. The few seconds afterwards the DNA grew a spiky mane and tail. Twilight smiled at her terrified assistant. "Cloning was a success!" she announced,oblivious to Spike's stares. "I thought clones where meant to look like the original, and this doesn't look like anypony I know" Spike averted his gaze to the cone. Twilight rolled her eyes. "I took the DNA and mixed it with the blood of a few animal to create an own organizm. So" she turned to the clone "what shall we call you? Or do yo have a name?" "Yes" the clone nodded "I am The Black Tornado." The clone was a filly, with a black coat, silver hooves and tail and red eyes and mane. Two tiny wings, the blood of an eagle were tucked firmly against her back. "Why the Black Tornado?" asked Spike,genuinely curious. The Black Tornado smiled and spread out her long wings. On top of her back, a red and black energy ball was beginning to form. "What are you doing?" asked Twilight, rising to her hooves, horn at the ready. She was too late. Seconds later, Twilight and Spike were blown straight up into the air. Twilight gathered herself and using her wings and magic, stopped her and Spike from falling to their deaths. However just before they were about to land, Black Tornado raced towards them and slammed into them, sending them crashing in different directions. Meanwhile, Scootaloo,Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle were walking down the street. "For the last time no" insisted Sweetie Belle 2you are NOT becoming my sidekicks,not now,not ever." "Ahhh! Why not?" asked Apple Bloom. "I'm still strong and Scootaloo is fast!" "If that was how it worked, Rainbow Dash and Apple Jack should both be superheroes" Sweetie pointed out. "Umm Sweetie Belle..." Scootaloo trailed off pointing high up into the air,where The Black Tornado was in the process of summoning a black energy ball a meter above her head, ready to crash down on Twilight,who lay un moving on the ground. "Well, you did say you wanted to see me in action" Sweetie tilted her head, then in a flash of white, was in her super suit and racing towards The Black Tornado. Just as The Black Tornado was firing the beam at Twilight, Sweetie pushed her way in between. A silver shield appeared and the black beam bounced off it and hit a building,burning straight through it. "That was weird,right?" asked Silver Blizzard. Black Tornado nodded slightly, then shot another beam at them. "Who are you?!" The Silver Blizzard shouted. The Black Tornado smirked "I am The Black Tornado,your evil clone." Sweetie squinted. Wow, nice introduction,smart mule [not a swear], she thought sarcastically. "And I am The Silver Blizzard and I am going to kick your rump all the way back into the grave in which it belongs!" Sweetie snarled, crouching down. The Black Tornado laughed "ohh, I am SO scared" she mocked "oh watch out! Silver Blizzard is going to use tickle attack!" Sweetie Belle straightened "hang on... are you mocking me?" Black Tornado frowned. "Yes!" Sweetie nodded "oh." Then The Black Tornado was hit with the force of a mountain. They chased each other through Ponyville,slamming into each other and firing beams, ninety eight percent of the time missing. It was an equal fight. The Black Tornado was given insane strength and powerful beams. However The Silver Blizzard was faster, a lot faster and more agile than her counterpart. And she could teleport. The Silver Blizzard had The Black Tornado pinned.The Black Tornado gritted her teeth and pushed The Silver Blizzard as far away as she could with her hind legs. Sweetie went flying through a building, landing on her side. Panicking, she teleported away. > Twilights Studies PT.4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Black Tornado paced up and down in her cave. It was annoying. She was more powerful than Celestia and Luna combined and she got shown up by her counterpart! It was unacceptable! Especially as The Silver Blizzard probably would of have beaten her too, if Tornado hadn't gotten the upper hoof at the end, Blizzard surely would of have won. "I can't let her go back and lick her wounds, then gaining strength to find me once again, I need to attack her at the heart of the problem" The Black Tornado smiled, showing off pointed teeth "Ponyville. . . . ." * * * * * Twilight was getting back to her hooves when she saw her. The Silver Blizzard. She was leaning against the wall,front hooves crossed. "Oh My Celestia! I am SO sorry! When I created her, I didn't think she would be like that!" Sweetie Belle silenced Twilight's babble with one hoof. "Are you telling me that you created that THING?" Sweetie practically spat the word thing in Twilight's face. Twilight flinched "yes but for SCIENCE" she struck a pose. "Oh yes, because if The Black Tornado tries to destroy Ponyville, that's an excuse to tell the judges"FOR SCIENCE!"" The Silver Blizzard closed her eyes and breathed in a few times. "Do you know that every evil scientists excuse is always "I did it for science?" she asked. Twilight was horrified "I'm not an evil scientist, I am a princess" she protested. "THEN START ACTING LIKE ONE!" screamed Sweetie Belle taking a step forward. "A GOOD princess does not risk the lives of hundreds simply to satisfy their ow curiosity. Well,are you SATISFIED NOW!" Twilight shook her head, petrified. "Well, if YOUR creation happens to destroy Ponyville, it's on your own hooves Miss Sparkle, NOT mine." And with that, The Silver Blizzard teleported out of view. "Spike" Twilight let out a puff of air "I think we made a mistake . . . " Spike rolled his eyes "You.Don't. Say." * * * * * Sweetie Belle, now... Sweetie Belle stormed up to her room. The kicked the door open and slammed it shut to find Apple Bloom and Scootaloo sitting there staring at her in shock."What happened?" asked Scootaloo eyeing her friends cuts and wounds. "I don't want to talk about it" muttered Sweetie, walking past them. "Well, we do. What happened?" Apple Bloom got to her hooves and kept pace with Sweetie Belle. Sweetie reared around,turning on one hoof to face her friends. "You wanna know what happened? I got my tail handed to me, that's what!" She made to leave. Scootaloo blocked the way. "Talk" she urged. Sweetie Belle told them everything, Twilight's HUGE mistake, The Black Tornado being born and the fight. "I can't even hurt her" Sweetie said, putting her rump on the ground. "She's too strong!" To Sweetie Belle's surprise, Scootaloo and Apple Bloom started to laugh. "What?" she demanded angrily. "Sweetie, don't you remember how long it took you to be able to teleport? Or only now you have ice powers?" Apple Bloom wiped away a tear of laughter. "Face it Sweets, you have something that The Black Tornado doesn't, experience" said Scootaloo. "When did you two become so wise?" asked Sweetie Belle looking between the three of them. "I must be rubbing off on you!" "Hah! Better late than never" laughed Scootaloo. "Now get out there and kick some Black Tornado behind!" As Sweetie Belle vanished, Scootaloo and Apple Bloom heard a knock on the window. Both of them turned around to see a spiky maned black pony..... * * * * * The Silver Blizzard jumped from rooftops to rooftops,trying to find The Black Tornado. "Silver Blizzard!" a voice cried from above. "Help!" Sweetie looked up. Dangling from the top of the town hall, was Scootaloo and Apple Bloom, The Black Tornado holding onto their tails, nothing more. Slowly ponies began to realize what was going on. Apple Jack and Rainbow Dash cane sprinting up. "Hey! You better put them down right nor or ah'll" Apple Jack hollered. "Or you'll what" mocked The Black Tornado. "Lasso me? I am shaking in my mane and tail as we speak." With a roar, Rainbow Dash flew as fast as she could at the filly, only at the last second to shoot her black rays at Rainbow, effectively knocking her out. The Black Tornado felt amazing. She knew that sooner or later, The Silver Blizzard would come and then she could finish her off for good. The next thing Tornado knew, she was falling of the edge of the building, the air knocked out of her. The Silver Blizzard had thrown her full weight against The Black Tornado, hoping it would make her lose her balance. Catching her breath again, The Black Tornado spread her wings and began to fly, while The Silver Blizzard teleported herself, Scootaloo and Apple Bloom safely down on the ground. The crowd, especially Diamond Tiara,cheered. The Black Tornado quickly charged an energy beam at the three fillies. Sweeties eyes glowed pure white, and ,just as it was about to hit them, a transparent,but rainbow colored at the same time, plasma shield blocked them. Oh.... Sweetie thought, smiling, Yeah. Apple Jack who was watching this in horror, was surprised when Apple Bloom materialized at her hooves and Scootaloo who appeared at Pinkies. Pinkie put her front two two hooves in front of Scootaloo,blocking her from view, and giving A.J a nod to say "I got her." The Black Tornado,too busy shooting another ray, didn't see the giant lightning cloud form just over her. It was only when hundred a fifty billion volts entered her body that she realized that next time she should look up. Sweetie Belle teleported into the air just beside The Black Tornado. Seeing an oppurtunity, Tornado punched The Silver Blizzard with all the strength in her body. The heroine fell down to earth. Just before she could hit the stone path,however, Sweetie Belle teleported back into the air once again. This went on for a while. Sweetie teleporting up, The Black Tornado to hit her down, only or it to repeat. The Silver Blizzard,instead of teleporting back up, went closer to the ground. If she began to fall too far, Sweetie would teleport back up to her starting position. The Black Tornado tucked in her wings and aimed straight down, before letting herself drop. A few seconds later the air began to compress around her and with a WHOOOSH! She performed a sonic rainboom. Seconds away from breaking every bone in her body, The Silver Blizzard teleported a few feet to the left. Slamming into the ground was painful, but it outright humiliating when The Silver Blizzard landed lightly on all four hooves beside her. Springing up, The Black Tornado grabbed her and threw her up into the air, before flying after her, punching at Blizzard while they were in the air. With one final punch, The Silver Blizzard was thrown twelve feet deep into the ground. The Black Tornado turned to face the horrified crowd smiling, when a loud BOOM sounded behind her. Spinning quickly around, The Black Tornado was met with a amazing, and scary sight. Crouching down, completely unharmed, was The Silver Blizzard. But that wasn't the scary part. When she lifted her head, her eyes were pure white, except for tiny little black pinpricks for pupils. White lightning like aura surrounded her, and when she spoke, her voice was deep and demonic. "So you want to go? Do you even lift?" she snarled. A clap of pure white and everypony went blind for a few moments. When they opened their eyes, the place where The Black Tornado was standing was now a mile deep flaming crater. "YAHOO!" screamed Apple Bloom and Scootaloo grinning at their now back to normal enough best friend, who smiled then turned to Twilight. She took the crown off Twilight's head, stared at her hard and said "learn from your mistakes or learn how to fix them by yourself." She placed the crown back on Twilight's head. "Citizaens of Ponyville, that monstrosity that was ravaging our young was created by me" admitted Twilight "I accept full responsibility for whatever harm she had done. I am deeply sorry." Twilight looked at Sweetie who nodded then vanished. Dear Diary, Today I learned something similar for Pinkies Pinkie Sense: Sometimes somethings just can't be explained and you have to accept them for what they are. And if you going to clone somepony,make sure that the clone isn't evil -Twilight Sparkle > The Apple Thief > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sweetie Belle was leaping from building to building, scanning the town for trouble, when she heard a loud voice "stop thief!" and saw Pipsqueak chasing after a mugger,who started running. The mugger looked fearfully behind him,then pulled up." What am I doing" he asked himself,then turned around and knocked Pipsqueak over with on hoof, the picked him up."Hey! You put me down right now!" Pipsqueak yelped,kicking his hooves in the air, trying to reach the ground. In response, the mugger shook him like a dog with a chew toy. "Hey!You heard him! Put him down!"Sweetie Belle dropped, batpony style, to the ground and faced off against the mugger. The mugger smiled and threw Pipsqueak over a convenient cliff. The Silver Blizzard froze for a second,then slowly turned to face the mugger, who smiled once more, now more nervously. "I-Uh-I'm Sorry?" he offered, then stopped and half closed his eyes. "Your going to beat me up,aren't you?" he guessed. The Silver Blizzard smiled and nodded, threw the mugger through a building then jumped off the cliff thinking "I'm a lunatic." After teleporting them both to the ground once more, Pipsqueak fell at Sweetie Belle's hooves. "Thank you, Silver Blizzard!" he cried. Townsponies around him began murmuring their praise. The Silver Blizzard smile grew more and more with each word. She gave a quick salute,then vanished. * * * * * Meanwhile, at Sweet Apple Acres, Apple Jack was reading the newspaper. After a while, she threw the newspaper down on the table, a look of disgust on her face. "Ah don't believe this!" she cried, scowling. Apple Bloom looked up from her apple pancakes. "What you talking about,sis?" she asked. Apple Jack threw tossed the newspaper to the youngest Apple. Apple Bloom quickly skimmed over it. Apple Thieves In Appleoosa! Last night, over 100,000 bits worth of apples were stolen from Appleoosa. In Manehatten last week, the exact same problem occurred as well as Filly-Delphia. Many Ponies are naming these thieves "The Apple Thieves." But who are they? And what is the point of stealing all these apples? This is Spilled Ink, bringing you exclusive information. See you next week. Apple Bloom squinted. "Appleoosa, but that's right next to Manehatten. So if the thieves are going to strike next,It will be.. In Ponyville!" Apple Bloom lurched forward and her pink eyes widened. "We can't let em!" she cried. Apple Jack wrapped a hoof around her sister. "It's alright, because I am going to stay awake all night, and if they think they can touch The Apple Families Crops, well, they're in for a surprise." That Night.. Apple Bloom,Granny Smith and Big Mac were all in bed, fast asleep. Apple Jack was curled up in a hay bale, snoring slightly. Nopony saw the three shadowy ponies pass by. They unlocked the barn door and began to stack all the apples into crates. Then giggling, and nudging themselves, thy rode off into the night. About halfway, there, a loud munching sound could be heard. The three crooks froze, then shone their flashlight this way and that. It swept past a figure leaning against a tree, then doubled back and focused on it. The Silver Blizzard stood there, munching on an apple. "So, you like apples,huh?" she asked. Two of the ponies went flying, one of them landing with a loud THUD as he smashed into rock. The last pony was suddenly flying up through the air, legs flailing. "How dwa like them apples?" The Silver Blizzard called up. Then she and the crates vanished. The Apple Family found Apple Jack fast asleep against crates of apples and three tied,gagged, bruised and beaten ponies. When Apple Jack woke up, she was showered with praise and admiration. She shook her head, dazed. "I must have amnesia or something" she muttered. > Confessions Take Two > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- When Sweetie Belle got home, she was surprised to find, not only Rarity, but Apple Jack,Fluttershy,Pinkie Pie,Rainbow Dash and Twilight all there waiting for her. "Uh....... hi" she said,looking between the friends. "Okay, who ratted me out!"She yelped, flattening her ears nervously. Rarity frowned. "I don't even want to THINK about what you probably blew up, but anyways, this is about you Sweetie." The others all nodded solemnly. Sweetie Belle frowned. "What about me?" She asked, sitting down on the ground. "Miss Cherilee says that you have been missing three days of school this week" Twilight said, staring hard at Sweetie Belle. "And you missed out on Twilight Time for the last three weeks. What is going on?" "Nothing" Sweetie gave a fake smile. Rarity slammed on the table, startling everypony in the room,including her. "Sweetie Belle! What is with you? You go out late at night-" Sweetie Belle never realized that Rarity had noticed before. She probably thought she was doing something with the Crusaders. " And you often run off at random intervals. Now tell me young filly. What.Is.Going.On?!" "NOTHING!" Sweetie Belle stormed upstairs to her room.
