Intro
Maretropolis! A huge city located off the coast of Equestria. The city is famous for five things: Solaris Tower, Lunar Island, The Daily Stable, Timer Square, and Element Park. Ponies from all over come here for the lights, the music, and all sorts of things. However, Maretropolis also has a problem that people tend to overlook when it doesn’t involve them: crime. Despite the popular attractions in Maretropolis, crime, villainy, and corruption is high and has been high for the past 120 years since Maretropolis was born and has continued to grow as Maretropolis grew over the years since it was born.
However, 50 years ago, a group six individuals raised up to fight against the crime and villainy in Maretropolis; they called themselves the Power Ponies. They are: Masked Matter-Horn, Mistress Mare-velous, Fili-Second, Saddle Ranger, Zapp, and Radiance. They took a stand against crime in Maretropolis and managed to bring down crime by 67%. As a result of their actions, Maretropolis managed to find peace and it caused Maretropolis to expand in such a short time and a new generation of heroes were born from their actions, especially after the Power Ponies retired; however, new forms of criminals were born from their actions.
In a white penthouse located on the mountains of Maretropolis, Rootwood Hills, an elderly pony is sitting on her reclining chair, drinking a glass of bourbon, and listening to music on a record player. The elderly pony’s name is Golden Lasso, but she was once the Power Pony known as Mistress Mare-velous. While she is listening to her music and drinking at the same time, she lets out a tear while looking at a picture of herself and the rest of the Power Ponies back in their younger years. She then said: Were we ever so young? Oh, how we look so happy. What Bullshit. After saying this, she grabbed another bottle on the
Outside at the front of the door, someone in a black cloak and hood with a strange marking on it waves their hand in front of the door and enters the house. Once inside, the hooded figure appeared before Golden Lasso.
“Mistress Mare-velous. Prepare to die.”
“This isn’t the first time that I’ve been told that sort of thing, but I guess this time it’s actually going to happen. Before you do it, I’d like to know who sent you to kill me. Was it The Mane-iac, Pharaoh Phetlock, Long Face, High Heel, Smudge, or Shadowmane? If it’s Shadowmane, I wouldn’t mind considering she’s my arch nemesis, but I’d prefer that she come and kill me herself.”
“I don't serve these outdated villains; I am a humble servant of The True Ruler of Maretropolis.”
“Oh, I get it now; so “that” pony wants me dead. Can’t say that I didn’t have it coming either way. Tell your Ruler that if it’s any consolation, I’m sorry.”
The hooded figure then placed his hand on Golden Lasso’s hand and it started to glow.
At the docks, a group of smuggler ponies are bringing in a shipment of goods from Saddle Arabia illegally. There are a total of 10 stallions; 4 stallions guarding the area, 3 stallions loading the shipment onto one of the three wagons, and 3 of the stronger stallions holding the wagons that will hold the shipment. What these stallions didn’t know is they are being watched by some pony in the distance. This pony is a mare with a purple latex bodysuit with some yellow on it, a red mask latex mask that covers her eyes, a red mane wig, a yellow star in the middle of her outfit, and a yellow utility belt. Before this mare could do anything, she grabs her walkie-talkie and presses a button on the side.
“This is Danger Star; I’m in position. Over.”
“How many goons? Over.”
“Ten. I can take them down with ease. Over.”
“Don’t do anything yet, Danger Star. We haven’t heard anything from Silver Crescent or the police yet. Over.”
“I know that Mach 10, but I can easily take on these guys and I’m ready to starting kicking ass; you know me. Over.”
“In more ways than one. Over.”
“This is Silver Crescent; save the pillow talk for later. Also, I’ve got what we need from them. You may proceed to taking them down. Over.”
Danger Star took this as a blessing and ran over toward the smugglers and kicks one of them in the face. The other smugglers then grabbed guns from their sides and began shooting at her. She managed to avoid the bullets with ease and got behind a wall inside of an open storage unit. The thieves began to run toward Danger Star and finish her off now that they have her cornered, but before they could do that their guns disappeared. Danger Star used this opportunity to grab out her staff from her utility belt and began hitting the rest of the thieves on the head, their stomachs, or even their testicles. After all the smugglers were knocked down, they were easily handcuffed and tied up with rope. The stallion who tied them up is wearing blue and orange football uniform with the number 10 on it, black running shoes, and an orange football helmet with a visor covering his eyes.
A few minutes later, the police arrived to pick up the smugglers and confiscate the illegal merchandise. Mach 10 and Danger Star are watching the smugglers get arrested from afar while Silver Crescent is talking with the police officer in charge; Silver Crescent is wearing an all silver outfit (with some green on certain areas on the outfit), such as a white hood with green on the back, a green crescent moon, and a white mask that covers his entire face with green eyes on the mask. After he finished his conversation with the pony in charge, he left the area to join Mach 10 and Danger Star.
“Looks like we managed to stop those smugglers from bringing in illegal magical necklaces that supposedly give you enhanced speed and strength and orbs that can supposedly summon ancient magical creatures. This is the fifth smuggling operation relating to artifacts from not only Saddle Arabia but also Somnambula, Rockville, and the ruins of the Crystal Empire. The extra evidence and files that I managed to get will help in ending this smuggling operation once and for all. I’m helping them come up with the planning with a bust operation for tomorrow, but I wanted to know if you guys wanted to help out.”
“Sorry, but it’s my day off starts tomorrow.”
“And Harshwhinny wants me to judge some potential recruits’ tomorrow; she thinks having me, Danger Star, as a judge bring out the ones who really want to be heroes and she wants me to see how well they fight since I’m the best one.”
“Alright. I’ll tell the detective that the two of you will be unavailable.”
“Are you going to help out?”
“Yes; the detective wants my help in the operation.”
“Aren’t you going to go home for tonight? You should rest.”
“I’m fine. See you guys later.”
“Night…. I mean Silver Crescent works too much; don’t you think?”
“Yeah; the stallion needs to learn to lighten up a bit. Well, see you later Danger Star.”
“After Mach 10 ran away, Danger Star left the area too.”
A few hours later, she sneaked into her apartment room without alerting anyone and changed out of her hero costume and into a purple nightgown; she is no longer Danger Star, but Twilight Velvet. Before going to bed, she fixed herself some hot cocoa. As she is sipping her hot coco, she looks at an old photo of herself and her friends when they were in High School: Night Light (Silver Crescent), Hondo Flanks (Mach 10), Stormy Flare, and Ethel Peachbottom. She thinks to herself how much has changed since they graduated High School and later became heroes for Maretropolis; it’s been two years since then. After she takes her last sip of hot cocoa, she goes to sleep.
The next morning, she turns on the radio and gets ready to go to “work”. However, as she is getting ready, a hears a news report saying that Golden Lasso, also known as Mistress Mare-velous, has been murdered.
