(Disclaimer- This story was written with the help of fellow fimfiction author LikeaBaws. It was made as sort of a Role Playing game between the two of us, which is why the two main characters share our names and told from each's point of view.)

We are Alex Rite and Winter 'Baws' Frost- master thieves in the world of Equestria, known to the public only as the Black Mask Brothers. Our success in thievery is due mainly to our teamwork, mastery of combat, and our magical abilities. Over the years, we have amassed a large horde of treasure, and are Equestria's most wanted thieves, though they will never catch us, as we appear and disappear, never seen for longer than a single glance. What makes us most famous, though, is that we only steal from other thieves. After all, there's no honor, no challenge, no fun in stealing from ordinary people. This, of course, splits the people's opinion of us: some think of us as vigilantes who get scum off the street, others think us no better than the criminals we steal from. Eventually, though, we meet our match when the Vendetta Family starts to surface. These villains are a menace to society, having a branch in every major town in Equestria, each led by a top ranking member of the Vendetta Family. If they're allowed to continue at the pace they're at, even the Princesses themselves will be forced under their boot. As honorable thieves, it is our sworn duty to take these creeps down (and make a few bucks while we're at it). Only problem is, these guys are too big, too informed, too tough for even the two of us to handle on our own. So what do we gotta do? We gotta put together an expert team, that's what! Taking down the Vendetta family one by one, filling our ranks with experts in all sorts of fields all the while, from hackers, to demolition experts, to even ex-members of the Vendetta Family, we will bring the Vendetta Family crumbling down!

Alex Cooper was once a pretty average human teenager at the age of sixteen. He lived as an orphan for most of his life with only his older brother and twin sister to keep him company. After his sister mysteriously disappears, he goes into a depression. One night, before going to bed, he wishes that he could be somewhere where he could be a hero instead of an orphan loser. When he wakes up he finds he is in a place he does not recognize. He soon finds out that he is in a land known as Equestria, and he meets the main six. Is this the place he had wished for? Only time will tell.

(I would also like to thank my buddy ShadowWeaver for the cover art for this fic. It has highly exceeded my expectations, and my expectations were already very high! Thanks again man!)
