"Pretty much yeah" "What do you mean "pretty much"?" "YES, I am just nervous" "Well don´t be, you studied this like 5 times at least" "Yeah you´re right, but just to be sure one more time" "Uhh alright but make it quick we don´t have much time left" "Alright so......" **************** You and Fluttershy will fly up on the roof while I, AJ and Pinkie will enter through the main entrance. After we enter we will split up, AJ will go to the vault and talk to the guard about the maintenance we ordered yesterday. "How did you ordered it again?" "I hacked into the bank, wrote an email as a bank manager to the maintenance firm working with this bank" "Right, then what´s next" Well, when AJ will be talking with the guard Pinkie will go find the security center and I will stand in a line as a usual customer. "Still don´t believe you let Pinkie handle the security" "Don´t judge her just by her look, she may not seem like it but she can be very capable sometimes, remember the parasprites?" "I am and I will" "Good now then..." After AJ will start with the "maintenance" of the vault Pinkie should be at security room, and don´t forget I am at the line and we don´t know how much ponies will be there so be quick. Meanwhile you will prepare our "exit" while Fluttershy will distract the guards. And since Pinkie should be in control of all cameras you can begin right after Fluttershy will get the guards down from the roof, but just to be sure wait a few seconds just in case Pinkie has a delay. "Noted" By the time you will be completing our "exit" AJ should have the vault door opened, Pinkie should have total control and I should be just at the reception. Now the important part when you will hear first shot fly down to Fluttershy and take out the guards then take the bodies in and close the door to the roof. I and AJ will get guards down at the hall and will get ponies controlled. And at the same time, the shot will be fired, Pinkie will close every door and shadow all windows. When we will have every pony controlled, you and Fluttershy will open the vault and begin to pack up all cash you see. After you will have everything packed and ready you will fly on the roof and light a flare while Fluttershy will prepare cash to transport **************** "Then roof will go boom and well you know the rest" "Yeah my favorite part, but I have one more question" "Yes?" "What if it won´t work?" "Ain´t I am the one that worries here?" "Yeah, but I just want to be sure what if we will fail to go your way?" Suddenly the door behind them opened with AJ standing in them with LMG hooked around her neck and holding under her hoof. "Then we will shoot the hell out of them sugar cube" > The Heist > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- **************** At the entrance of Main Canterlot Bank **************** "Alright let´s begin" Group split. Two pegasuses flew up on the roof while three ponies entered the building. Earth ponies split each heading to their destination. While the pink pony happily walked to the right almost without being noticed, the orange pony was stopped by a guard. Alicorn camouflaged as unicorn began to sweat as she watched the conversation. After a few seconds of conversation, the guard stepped aside and let orange pony to the vault. **************** Meanwhile on the roof **************** "Alright distract them" "On it," the yellow pony said as she moved near the guards and began her theater. **************** "How is she gonna distract them anyway?" "Simple, don´t you know the old "OH I am lost" theater?" "Yeah, but it´s kinda short for that time that even I need" "That´s why I come with an upgrade, Fluttershy would you please?" Fluttershy came from the shadows behind Rainbow Dash and leaned on her. "Oh hello there handsome," Fluttershy said as she leaned more "I am afraid I got lost would you be so kind and show me the way down?" she said with a seductive smile and half-lidded eyes Rainbow Dash totally shocked and with mouth hanging down "See told you it was gonna work even on her" Twilight said as Fluttershy pulled back on her hooves and started to circle the table with the map. "You were right…..as always" "How….did…….Fluttershy??" Was all Rainbow could say After an awkward moment Rainbow finally came back to her senses. "Fluttershy….you are.....you were…..what" "What, even to a pony with my character sounds a few million bits like a good reward for what we did for Equestria" **************** "That cannot work, that cannot work" After a few seconds, a yellow pegasus was leading the guards inside. "Fluttershy, you sly pony" Blue pegasus flew in the targeted area and began to plant bombs to form a square. **************** At the lobby **************** "Pinkie what´s your status?" Unicorn says to the radio "Hey hey hey Twilight" "What?" "I spy with my little friendship eye som-" "Not now Pinkie, AJ what about you?" she said quietly "Done" "Good, Rainbow?" "Ready" "Alright showtime," Unicorn said as she approached the reception "Welcome to the Canterlot Main Bank how may I help you?" mare behind the desk said After a moment of silence, Unicorn begins to blow and changed form to an Alicorn with a mask, purple fur, and violet-pink mane. After a moment of realization, Twilight moved up her weapon and shot. After a few seconds, blinds fall down from the ceiling and covers the windows and all exits close. Then a magic bubble is formed around Twilight and expands to the entire building and changes AJ mane to blond, Pinkies to pink, Fluttershy's to pink and Rainbows to a rainbow. "Ah finally," Rainbow says "never changing color again!" she said as she and Fluttershy shot the guards on the roof "EVERYPONY ON THE GROUND" Twilight began to scream and as soon as every pony heard this they´ve done as they were told. Aside from guard on the left now aiming to Twilights head. "Put that gun down or I will shoot" Twilight slowly turned her head to the guard and after another silence he was shot from behind. "Too late," said AJ with ironical tone and smirk of disappointment behind her mask "EVERYPONY DOWN ON THE FLOOR OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES," Twilight said as she and AJ saw a few resisting "Oh sweet apples" AJ silently angerly cursed as she hopped on the nearby desk "ALL RIGHT Y´ALL LISTEN CLOSELY IF YOU DON´T PUT YOU BUCKING FLANKS DOWN AND LAY ON THE FLOOR I SWEAR TO MY CORE I AM GONNA WASTE THAT BUCKING AMMO ON YA SO GET YOUR FLANKS DOWN AND KISS THE FLOOR" With that, all remaining ponies laid down like good pets. When AJ hopped down again and looked to the vault door were now two standing pegasuses staring at AJ with their blank mask faces. "You could have used little more "non-brutal" language," Twilight said to AJs ear "This way they won´t cause any problems" "Point taken" Two ended their conversation as they now aimed at downed ponies and signaled to pegasus to move in. **************** In the vault **************** Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash flew through the vault door and to the safe door where was a standing manager with a pistol switching his aim between them. After another few seconds, he was surrounded by an aura and suddenly fainted and dropped on the ground. Behind him was Unicorn which now opened the safe doors and turned to the pegasus. "What took you so long," Unicorn said as she waved her violet mane to the side "Sorry little complications," Fluttershy said as she flew over to her Rainbow dash was shocked to see Rarity. "And since when you are part of this heist" "Since the beginning darling" "But you weren´t in the apartment with us when we planned" "Of course not darling I still have some boutiques in Canterlot that I need to take care of, but Twilight said she told you about me, weren´t you listening to her?" "Yeah well, I was….." **************** "You two will fly inside and along with Rarity who will be waiting there with the key to the safe you will take out bank manager," Twilight said Hmm will I bye a new poster for Wonderbolts or a new uniform what about a new house with posters of Wonderbolts that would be awesome "So does everyone understand?" Twilight asked as every pony noded …..what about oh wait every pony is nodding and twilight just said something just nod Rainbow just nod and smile alongside with Rainbow dash "Good now…." **************** "...distracted" Rainbow said "Oh alright anyway we should have to go help Fluttershy with the bags darling" The two went inside the safe. **************** After a few minutes of picking up the bits **************** "Alright I will go place the flare you prepare bags to transport" "Of course darling" Blue pegasus flew out of the safe and from the vault on the roof lighted up the flare and went back inside next to Twilight. "Alright everything is ready" "Good, he should be here in a few minutes so go to the vault and prepare the bags" "Got it," Rainbow said as she flew back inside the vault After another few minutes, Twilight receives a call to the radio. "I am here" "Alright, Rainbow blast it" "Alright bo-time!" she said as she detonated the charges on the roof Through the smoke on the ceiling could Rainbow, Rarity and Fluttershy could see decreasing metal ribcage on the rope. When it was at their level they started to throw the bags into the ribcage. "Alright Twilight we are loading the ribcage" "Alright, Pinkie we are leaving get in here" "Okie Dokie Loki," Pinkie said as she happily hoped to Twilight and into the vault. "Let´s go AJ" Twilight said as she moved back into the vault "Finally," AJ said and moved into the vault as well All of them got to the safe when the last bag was in the ribcage. "Alright every pony with no wings go in, get it up," Twilight said As the ribcage began to increase it´s height with all "non-winged" ponies inside, after going from the smoke they saw balloon over their heads. When they got up balloon began to move away from the bank into the mountains. "Good work Spike good work" Twilight said as she rested on the side of the balloon "Thanks, Twilight I was learning how to control this thing since you told me what you got in the plan" "Looks like it paid out" "Yep now let´s get us to the drop point" As the balloon was increasing towards one of the tops of the mountains it disappeared in the fog. > Epilogue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- **************** Somewhere on the top of mountains **************** "We made it!" Rainbow exclaimed as she landed next to landed balloon "we really did!" "Of course we did darling, what did you expect?" "I dunno some action you know, panic, running, flying, bullets everywhere this kind of action" "That´s not how it works Rainbow" Twilight as she began to deflate the balloon "this is not a movie or one of yours Daring Do books if we had done that like you are saying we would end up like……." "Trampled apples" AJ completed the sentence "Precisely, sure it would have been more "active" but this was something that required more delicate plan" "Ah I guess, so how are we gonna split up?" "Well you, Fluttershy and Rarity will go through the old mines that way," she said as she pointed to the snowy road "that should get you to Ponyville while AJ and Pinkie will go through another mine the that leads to a lake beneath Canterlot and hide bags there on prepared ship, then they will go to Ponyville as well," she said as they were watching AJ and Pinkie unloading the ribcage "And what about you and Spike?" "We will color the balloon back to pink and hide it back in Canterlot once we get there" "Wait they will be looking for you don´t they?" "No" "How so?" "Do you remember the bubble and the transformation?" "Well yeah the change-mane thing" "Exactly, now they will think that some random group of ponies transformed themselves into us, and let´s be serious here who would suspect the "elements of harmony, protectors of Equestria" to rob a bank" "True enough, alright then see ya," Rainbow said as she flew away to Fluttershy and Rarity "Let´s get going shall we," Rarity said as she lighted her horn and began to move into the old mine **************** At the exit from the diamond mines **************** "And here we are darlings back to Ponyville" Rarity exclaimed as she pointed a hoof towards a town in the distance When they walked down from the diamond hills one of them started to ask. "So, what will you do with all those bits?" Rainbow asked flying next to Rarity "You see darling I would like to see some expansion of my boutique and the rest of my stores and perhaps to buy a new one" "I am looking forward to expanding the park for the animals I have, those little cuties just needs more area to move around" Rainbow suddenly stopped. Fluttershy and Rarity stopped and looked back. "Is something wrong darling?" "That´s it, those are the only things that you two want" "Yes darling, why? Is that too much?" "It´s bucking small" "Now now darling don´t be so rude" "Yeah yeah whatever I am just surprised that there nothing more that you want" "Well, what do you will do with the bits then?" Rarity asked curiously "Well………." After Rainbows "dreams come true" presentation. "And of course that all will make me at least 20 percent cooler and with that training ground even more" Fluttershy and Rarity looked between themselves and then back to Rainbow. "Now that´s one bear of dreams" "Hope that some bits will last darling," Rarity said with a giggle After a moment of silence, all three began to laugh. **************** At the lake under the waterfall from Canterlot **************** "So what you will do with these bits Pinkie?" "Well I really don´t know actually" "Wha? Then why did ya went to that robbery with us?" "I just wanted to help my friends," Pinkie said with a smile "That is……….so Pinkie like," AJ said as she pointed at Pinkie anyway let´s load these to that ship over there "Okie Dokie" Pinkie said as she began jumping towards the ship alongside with Applejack. **************** Somewhere at Canterlot **************** "So what are you gonna do with your bits Twilight?" Spike asked "Well I was looking forward to repairing our old library back at Ponyville and our castle could use some new books" "Now that´s some upgrade" "What about you Spike?" "Well I was looking forward to buying something to Rarity and maybe a little to Ember as a gift to dragonlord" "That´s honorable Spike" "Thanks, Twilight" As they were walking down the streets of Canterlot they came to a crossing. "Look they finally realized there´s something wrong," Spike said as he pointed at the bank located left from them "It seems that way" Twilight said with a giggle "now stick to the plan, go back to our apartment and hide it," she said as she levitated the box with the balloon to the Spike's hands "Still don´t know how did you make that balloon so small" "A little reduction spell I learned now go I must get there" "Good luck" "To you too Spike" After they crossed ways, Spike walked to the apartment and Twilight has gone to the bank. "What is happening here?" Twilight said with her newly found royal voice to the crowd "Oh princess of friendship is here!" a mare exclaimed as crowds looked at Twilight with troubled looks Twilight flew to the royal guards standing near the entrance of the bank. "What is happening here?" Twilight asked with a confused look "Princess," one of the guards said as they both bowed "it seems this bank is in some kind of a lockdown, we are thinking that- " "A robbery?" Twilight completed worryingly "Yes ma´am" "Let me enter" "No ma´am it´s too dangerous we are waiting on specialize-" guard was cut off once more "Let me enter, I am the princess of friendship and I will not tolerate no such thing as robbery in Canterlot or nowhere else" After that, the guards stepped aside and let her pass. When Twilight approached the entrance she began to speak wit royal voice again. "This is princess Twilight Sparkle, I don´t know why are you robbing this bank, but I am giving you one chance to repair this crime, step outside the building and put everything that you have on the ground or as much as I am princess of friendship I cannot stop Guards form doing their duty." After a moment of silence, she walked back to the guards and asked. "How long before those specialized units are here?" "They are right there ma´am" the guard pointed at the unit of guards running down the street to them with princess Luna in the air. "Princess Luna!" Twilight shouted at the sky "Twilight?" Luna said silently and now decreasing her height "Twilight what are you doing here?" "Well I saw the scene and reacted, and I tried to contact someone inside, no response" "We shall act the other way then, tell citizens to step aside" After Twilight told ponies to go a little more back Princess Luna commanded the special unit which began to form a circle around the building. Princess Luna re-looked around to see everything is fine and finally gave the order to "assault" the bank. It was a quick process and after a few minutes, the commander stepped out of the building and run to the princess Luna. "I am gonna enjoy the look on your face" Twilight muttered quietly to herself After the commander talked to Princess Luna she gasps with a face expressing words "WTH is going on here". Twilight giggled a little to herself as she saw princess Luna enter the building. After a few minutes ponies began to walk out of the building with the special unit and behind them was princess Luna with confusion on her face and heading directly to Twilight. "I am gonna enjoy this so much" Twilight muttered as she put on the confusion face "so what was it princess?" "It was" Luna looked back "strange" "How so?" "Well, you see the manager and the personnel along with the civilians are saying the same thing" "What is it?" "That it was you" Twilight gasped at that "T-That's impossible" "I know" "I was right there with you at the tea party about a few minutes ago" "I know" "I couldn´t possibly" "I KNOW" Luna shouted at Twilight "look sorry about that I am back from the moon for nearly a few months now and I am still surprised at something that "new world" has to offer, however that is not possible it simply isn´t," Luna said with a confused look Twilight was shaking. "Look Twilight don´t worry I will see to that these...imitators are captured and sent to jail, I know it´s not easy to be accused with this so go after my sister and rest I will secure all of this" "T-thank you, princess Luna," Twilight said with tears in her eyes "It´s the least I can do now go," Luna said as she returned to the commander and started helping with the civilians Twilight began to slowly walk to the castle. When she was at the entrance on the palace that someone was waiting on her there and immediately rushed to her and put one claw over her back and helped her walk in. "So did they ate it?" Spike asked silently "Totally," Twilight said with a smile under her tears
