What's up! Welcome to the third episode of my own stories season! I wasn't really that satisfied with writing that last episode, so I think I'll just stick to writing most stories that have something to do with my OC. I'll still write some stories that are from others POV most of the time, but the whole plot will still revolve around Blitz. If you guys have any other ideas, feel free to tell me. No idea is a bad one!

Also I wanted to ask a community question. This doesn't replace the QotC, but I still want to have it answered by you all if I can.

Should I give shoutouts to some readers who leaves a review? Please tell me what you think about that.

Disclaimer: I don't own MLP... I know, big shocker huh?

Twilight's POV

Oh, this day could not start out better! The new shipment of books came in today, and several of them have advanced spells I haven't even seen before! Princess Celestia will be so proud when she hears that I've learned so many advanced spells!

As I took in all of the new books that were being delivered, I couldn't believe it! There were so many different kinds of books that were brought in, and the new selection is sure to bring in more ponies! Could this day get any better?!

"Hey Twilight, here's the last of them!" Spike said, bringing in more books than he could carry. I gladly took half of them, but when I tried to get more Spike assured me that he had it taken care of.

"Thanks Spike, I know you wanted to help Rarity out today, but I really needed your help with this." I thanked him as he set the last of the books down with the rest of them.

"No problem Twilight. I just wish that the delivery mare would watch where she was landing. She nearly crashed in to me several times!" He said annoyingly. He knew he couldn't really blam Ditzy Doo, but he still felt the need to mention it.

"Oh well, all the books were delivered. And on time too. Now all we have to do is organize them." I said as I went over to start.

"Uh Twilight? I was actually wondering if it would be okay to go ahead an go to Rarity's now." Spike told me, really wanting to go. Somethings never change I guess.

"Well... okay fine. Besides, it'll give me the chance to see what exactly all these books are about myself." I said. It would take longer, but I don't mind.

"Great, thanks Twilight!" Spike said as he rushed for the door.

Bad news for him though, as soon as he got to the door, it flew open with Applejack on the other side. She opened it so strongly that it made some of the books that were stacked up, fall to the ground.

"Twilight, we gotta problem! Those no good Flim Flam brothers are at it again!" Applejack said angrily.

"What?! There after Sweet Apple Acres again?! Didn't they learn there lesson last time?!" I asked as I went to the door.

"Not Sweet Apple Acres! This time, their after the Ponyville Construction Crew! Come on, we gotta high tail it there and stop em!" Applejack told me. She then ran off, expecting us to follow.

Spike then fell out from behind the door, getting hit from the door because of Applejack's urgent news. "Ow..." He said dizzily.

"Come on Spike, there's no time to fool around! We need to get to follow Applejack to the construction cite. Because if The Flim Flam brothers are really after the Construction Crew, then that means Blitz might be caught in the whole situation!" I reminded him of the situation.

"I wasn't trying to be lazy Twilight." Spike defended as he got up and jumped up on my back, riding on me to the construction cite.

When we got there, we saw that the two twin brothers had yet another one of their machines, but it was different from there apple cider making machine. It was more simple looking on the outside. It looked more like an upside down drill, and at the bottom of the machine was a stand that had a blueprint under an odd-looking light. Around the top were retractable arms that were picking up tools, wood, and nails and working on a nearly finished building.

"So as you can see folks, the The Excellent Qualified Self-Running Builderizer 2000 is seven times more efficient than any lousy Construction Crew! No matter how many hooves are in said crew!" Flam said to every pony that was watching.

"Not you two again!" Apple Bloom said out loud. Applejack put her hoof over Apple Bloom's mouth, but it was to late.

"Ah if it isn't our old rivals, the Sweet Apple Acres family. Pleasure to meet you again!" Flim said to them with a confident smile.

"Why're you two back in Ponyville?! You agreed that if you two lost the bet, then you'd be out of here fer good!" Applejack reminded them.

"But we didn't lose! In fact, if we recall we made many more barrels of cider then your family and friends made within an hour. We won, but honorably let your family stay in business. So, we are still allowed to come and go as we please." Flam said.

"Then how about you get going?" We all turned to see Blitz coming over to the Apple sisters and the Flim Flam twins.

Blitz POV

I was mad to say the least. 'Lousy Construction Workers'? These two didn't know hard workers when they saw them.

"You must be one of the Construction workers that were slowly working on this building. Luckily for you, we helped you all finish the job. No need to thank us." Flim said. That just made me, along with the rest of the construction crew madder.

"Your right, no need to thank you. Especially when no on asked for your lazy help." I snapped at them. I wasn't about to let these two go down without standing up to my crew.

"Lazy? Well young lad, I think that's quite the opposite! We took time out of our busy schedule to-" I cut him off before he could say what I knew he was going to say.

"Press a few buttons and do nothing as you gloat about trying to steal hard working ponies jobs." I finished. From saying that, I heard some of the ponies in the audience 'ooo'ing about what I said. I knew how to talk them down without going to far. I was the king of finding a way to weasel out of situations. If he got a chance to stretch the truth, then I might not have much to say.

He and his twin just chuckled as they put their full attention on me. Mustache spoke up first. "You know, you remind us of... well, us! A young go getter, climbing the ladder of efficiency."

"Yeah, I guess so. That is if I was a wimp that hid behind machines." I sneered. I was already part machine, and most of the watching ponies that I knew understood that.

Sadly, so did they. They just chuckled some more. "I think I recall something about you. You must be that new cypony we've heard so much about!" Flim said.

"How did you-" "We're travelling entrepeneurs lad! We hear news all across Equestria! You've been brought up quite a few times, especially to ponies like us that appreciate the new generation of technology!" Mustache boated.

"Well, if me of all ponies are complaining about your creations, then it must be faulty." I told them, working that bit of information to my advantage.

"Yeah, yer machines do nothin but cause trouble! Or did y'all ferget about your apple cider makin do-hickey?!" Applejack said, coming over to my side in defence.

"Our Apple Cider 'do-hickey' as you call it missy, would've been a complete success if we simply acted more careful about it." Flam defended.

"Yeah right! We would've creamed you either way!" Rainbow Dash said as she flew over and landed near me and Applejack.

"That remains as a matter of opinion." Flim said. "We'll never know for sure."

"It doesn't really make sense though..." I said, thinking out loud.

"What doesn't Blitz?" Twilight asked as she and Spike, who was walking next to her now, walked over.

"If what all of you are saying is true, why are they so in to Apple Cider making, and now they're charging in to facing a whole construction team now?" I asked to every pony that was around me.

"Well that lad-" "It's Blitz, not lad." I interrupted. "How would you like it if I called you mustache, mustache?" I asked Flam, who had called me lad for a total of to many times.

He growled a little at that name, but got the point. "Fine. Well that sir is a very excellent question." I didn't really like being called 'sir' either because of personal reasons, but at this point anything was better than hearing their obnoxious voices call me lad for the umpteenth time.

"You see, we thought that we had our talent in just apple cider. But as it turns out, we have a wider horizon then just that. We can build machines that can do ponies jobs more efficiently, and there for, provides more free time for ponies to enjoy themselves. This way, every pony can enjoy the fruits of our labor." Flim added.

"I don't think this thing does anything more efficently. If anything, it's just a burden. By building this, your putting a lot of ponies out of their jobs." I showed them. The workers were just standing idly by, not sure what to do.

"Yes, but now they can do something else our machine can't do, thus making it easier for every pony when they find new jobs. Besides, as it still stands, this way is better!" Mustache announced. Every pony in the crowd gave them judgemental looks, but didn't say anything.

"Yeah right! I bet just some a the Constructionin' Crew, can be better than yer machine!" Apple Bloom said, coming over to me, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Spike, and Twilight's corner of the argument. Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy joined our side too, all of us staring down the twins with me at the front of most of the group and Apple Bloom right in front of me, standing up for us by making it worse.

"Now Apple Bloom, you know what happened last time ya tried to stand up to these two varmits. We almost lost Sweet Apple Acres." Applejack reminded her as she brought her behind me.

"I think the little lady's on to something! How's about a challenge, sir?" Flam asked me.

"There will be no such challenge." The mayor said, stepping in between the groups. "You may have found a loop-hole in to coming back here, but there is no way were letting you try and get the best of Ponyville's kind nature." Wow, she's actually helping with a pressing issue? What reality of Equestria am I in again?

"Besides, our local Construction Crew is second best, next to Canterlot's." The whole crew, including me, smiled confidently at that.

"Sadly, not the best against us. We our an up and coming industry, and we rival even Canterlot's CC! We can probably work faster with better quality, and more efficiency!" Flim boasted again. "Besides, we don't even need a spineless mayor to run our ideas by." Oh, that isn't going to run by the mayor well, is it?

The mayor, took a step back. She was never insulted about her work. And apparently, it didn't go well with her at all. "You want to have a challenge? Fine!" She turned around and looked for the closest Construction Worker. In this case, me. "You! You manage the challenge on your side! I'm putting my trust in you! And whatever you do, do not let these two win!"

And with that, she left in a huff. I stood there, jaw-dropped. What. Just. Happened? "Well, I guess we'll begin. Both sides get to say two rules." Flim said.

"Fine." I said, getting my composure back together. If I'm going to be forced into this, then that means I gotta get my head in the game.

"Great! First rule, only five workers on each team. Since we have five arms, that means you and four of the other Construction Crew members will face off." Flam told me.

"Second rule," I started. "this challenge is about who can build the best building in the shortest amount of time. So no time limit." I said.

"Third rule," Flim began. "No substitutions."

"Final rule," I said. I thought of something that would help us, and all I could come up with was "Me and my team picks the blueprints."

"And those are the rules folks!" They both said simultaneously to every pony watching.

"Now if we win, we become the new mayors of Ponyville." Flam said to all of us.

"What?!" Most of us yelled out.

"Why would we say yes to that?!" I asked them. Do they share one brain or something?!

"You don't have a choice, lad." Flam said 'lad' just to get on my nerves. "Your mayor already said yes."

I groaned in annoyance. "Fine. And if we win, then you two aren't allowed one hoof in Ponyville ever again."

"Deal. First thing tomorrow, the competition starts. Be ready by then, if you even want to have a sliver of a chance to win." They reminded me. They then sat back and waited for me

"Blitz, what are you going to do?" Twilight asked me. They were all in shock along with me by what the mayor had agreed to, and the fact that I had to clean up the mess.

Wasting no time, I turned around and faced the rest of the crew. "Okay, who wants to volunteer?" I asked. I had to start somewhere.

Sadly, all of them took a step back. They didn't want to be shown up by the Flim Flam twin's machine. And even worse, the only one who didn't step back, tripped forward somehow.

"Well, there's your first volunteer!" Flim said. As the pony in question tried to get up, he tripped forward even more. The brothers laughed at that, and he got up again. This time staying up.

"I'm good. Really, I don't think I should volunteer." Jumpy J said as he rubbed his head, which he hit on the ground twice now.

"To late. No substitutions remember?" Flam said. They both laughed as Jumpy J hung his head in shame and tried to go back over to the line.

"Any pony else?" I asked kind of desperately. Just me an Jumpy J against that machine? No offense to him, but Jumpy J is just going to make things harder for us.

"I'll step up." We all turned and saw Ginger Star step forward. I was kind of ticked at her. She boasted to me about how they never gave her an embarrassing nickname, while I got something humiliating.

"Thank you." I said. At least now there was a construction worker who was able to help more than mess stuff up. Again, no offense to Jumpy.

"I'm helpin too." I turned and saw Applejack volunteer.

"Sorry missy, but only members of the construction crew can volunteer." Flam reminded.

"Actually, I am part of tha crew. I volunteer to help whenever they need it." She explained to them.

"It's true! She does." Fore Hammer said, glad that there was four of us now.

"Err..." Flim growled slightly. He cleared his throat an calmed himself down quickly. "Not a problem, it won't matter anyway. Now, pick your last volunteer!"

"Come on every pony! One of you have to want to help out here!" I said to them all. After none of them stepped up, I got an idea. "Hey Fore Hamer, can you help out?"

He couldn't say no to that. It would make him look like a wuss if he tried to weasel his way out. And with him being the fore pony, that would not be good at all for him.

Luckily, he saw this and sighed as he stepped forward. "Alright fine, I'll help. But this is on your head if we lose Blitz." He called me by my actual name. That proved that he was serious.

"Well, it seems you have your team. Good luck now! You'll need it!" They all laughed as they jumped on their machine, which was mobile. As they drove off, they drove past me an my friends. And as they did, some blueish smoke puffed out of the muffler and me, Applejack, and my other friends too. We got caught in it since we were right beside the machine.

"That was a cheap move." I said angrily as I waved away the smoke with my hoof.

"Those two have gotta learn their lesson sooner or later." Applejack agreed.

"Either way, let's get ready. Were not gonna beat that machine of theirs just by standing around." I said. The other four agreed, as did my friends. Sadly they all knew that they had no way to help because of the rules, so they were just here for moral support.

I then looked at my team, and we started planning. We just had to make sure that we were ready for the challenge, and everything would be just fine... At least, I hope it will.
