Twilight Sparkle has always loved stealing things. Ever since she was little, making plans and carrying them out with something of a payday. Now, she feels that she's ready for the BIG ONE! But even she, with ridiculously elaborate plans, can't do this alone. So now she must, with Spike's help, find the Five. The five mares who have become legends in their field. Which is good because Twilight needs to best of the best if this is going to work.
Author's Note: There is some lore to this alternate universe you should know. First off, Celestia and Luna are legends bordering on myth. Think of them as King Arthur, there was a king named Arthur but some of his feats may have been a hyperbole. The country is run by council by three (corrupt I should add) head ponies and one delagate from each of the towns across Equestria. Second, Twilight and Shining Armor are orphans. He still joined the royal guard. And lastly, this takes place in a semi-modernized Equestria. Please criticize below and hope you enjoy the ride!
