The following takes place between 12:00pm and 1:00pm

A pair of fillies, a unicorn and a pegasus, played ring toss. The pegasus tossed rings on to the unicorn's horn. One instance, the pegasus used her wings, and the unicorn used magic. They were both playing unfair to each other.

Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo walked home from school. They had a rough day.

"That homework is so difficult," complained Apple Bloom.

"More like a never-ending task," agreed Sweetie Belle.

"It's an excuse to limit our free time," concurred Scootaloo.

It's just a normal day in Ponyville. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were going to their clubhouse.

"We could help each other," suggested Sweetie Belle.

"You're right. We can finish this faster if we're together," said Scootaloo.

"Best idea ever," smiled Apple Bloom.

A unicorn wore a cloak, cover the horn and nearly all of his body. Hiding behind a house right near the post office. Derpy hooves was outside on her break. She took a huge bite of her muffin. It was a mixed berry muffin, filled with strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries. The cloaked unicorn sneaked in the back, magic emitted from the horn created a key. He inserted it in the hole, unlocking the door.

Upon entering, he checked different mail bags. Letters and parcels being shipped to different parts of Equestria were in every bag. He moved the bags to the wall, clearing a path in front of him. He wasn't interested in any of the mail. A cabinet was what he's searching for. Using the magic from his horn, he searched through the folders.

Trotting hooves made him stop and hid behind some bags. A blue pegasus picked up a bag with her teeth, placed the strap over her head, and exited the room. The bustling noises of ponies filled the room for five seconds.

The unicorn moved the bag to the side after the door closed. He continued to search, finding a folder full of documents. They contained item being delivered in a few hours. He hid the folder in his bag and sneaked out the door. He tossed the cloak in a nearby trash can.

He headed for Canterlot, He arrived a mile away from the castle entrance. He didn't want to cast suspicion by surprising any pony. He hid behind a bush, pulling out armour. He changed his mane, skin and eye colour, to look like one of the royal guards. The armour fitted him like a glove. He walked towards the two guards near the entrance.

"You're the new recruit," one of the guards said.

"Eagle Eye reporting for duty," the unicorn saluted.

"Head to the east wing. One of the guards is nearly finishing his shift," said the other guard.

Eagle Eye used a map to find the east wing. He kept an eye on anybody who might be following him. He went past some rooms before reaching the entrance.

He closed the door behind him, his contact was waiting inside. He's wearing the same armour as the guards.

"Never knew guards have shifts," said Eagle Eye.

"Never knew you came up with a ridiculous name, Sigma," his contact replied.

"It was the first name that came to my mind."

"Hope you brought those documents."

Sigma handed him the folder. He was puzzled. "Why do you need them?"

"We're going to replace them with other documents as cover ups for the real delivery. I have ponies working to make sure they don't suspect anything."

"Anything else?"

"Tell Beta to begin the next step."

"You got it." Sigma left the room and began his post.

He waited until there's no pony in sight. He wrote a letter to Beta, which he teleported with his magic.

---

Beta found the letter floating in the air. He immediately read it and set to work. He donned as a mail carrier and went inside the post office. He came to the cabinet where Sigma peaked in. He placed the folder inside the cabinet. Just as he was about to leave, one of the carriers stopped him. "Hey, that area's restricted."

"Sorry." Beta quickly apologised, he almost blew his cover.

Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo practiced outside. They were challenging themselves on who can reach the clubhouse the quickest.

"Get ready," said Apple Bloom.

"Get set," said Sweetie Belle.

"Go!" said Scootaloo.

Apple Bloom dashed, Scootaloo used her wings and Sweetie Belle used her magic. Apple Bloom struggled up the tree. Scootaloo struggled to use her wings. Sweetie Belle made her horn glow, a folder magically appear in mid-air. She originally wanted to teleport to the clubhouse.

Scootaloo was barely floating in the air, Sweetie Belle jumped on top of her. "Scootaloo! Look What I made appear!"

"Sweetie Belle I was almost there!" complained Scootaloo.

"You were floating for like five seconds. I was going to use my horn to teleport and I made this appear." Sweetie Belle showed her the folder.

Apple Bloom was the first to reach the club house, she checked to see what's happening. "Hey, what's the hold up?"

"Sweetie Belle made a folder appear."

Apple Bloom saw it and raced down to them. She stopped in front of them. "How did you do that?"

"I was going to teleport to the clubhouse and then that folder appeared," explained Sweetie Belle.

They opened it, revealing the documents Sigma stole from the post office. After reading them, they're shocked to learn what's being delivered today.

"We better tell some pony," said Scootaloo.

"But we must keep this safe," suggested Apple Bloom.

They all agreed that it couldn't fall into the wrong hooves. They hid the folder in a chest. They were heading home, when a crimson unicorn with navy mane and tail, prevented them from leaving. He was looking for them. "Hello fillies, nice day isn't it?"

"What do you want?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"You have something that belongs to a friend of mine."

Apple Bloom was nervous to speak. She stared into his evil eyes. "What is it that you seek?"

"A folder with documents. My "friend" is very impatient. If I don't give him what you have, you won't live to see your Cutie Marks."

The unicorn threatened them with his snarly voice. Sweetie Belle decided to show him. "This way, it's in our clubhouse."

The unicorn stroked her mane, treating her like a pet. "There's a good girl."

He followed her inside. She unlocked the chest, she can see the folder under a lot of junk. She quickly noticed scraps of paper. She thought of an idea. Using her magic, she duplicated the print on the documents and placed them on the scrapped paper. She placed them in the folder and handed to the unicorn.

"There you go. Hope you friend will be happy." Sweetie was so nervous, her legs were shaking.

The unicorn didn't reply, he just teleported out of the clubhouse, instead of leaving on hoof.

Apple Bloom and Scootaloo were happy to see Sweetie Belle. They didn't know what was happening inside.

"Are you OK?" asked Scootaloo.

"I'm OK. I gave him what he wanted. But he doesn't know that it's a copy," said Sweetie Belle.

"You duplicated those documents?!" Apple Bloom was certain that she got into trouble.

"Hold it, he didn't see me do it. I figured that if we keep the original and hand him the duplicates, we'll bring him and the culprits to justice."

A thought entered Scootaloo's mind. "Maybe that will give our Cutie Marks."

Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom thought it was an opportunity to good to miss.

"You're right!" exclaimed Apple Bloom.

"Cutie Mark Crusaders…" They stopped mid-sentence. They didn't what they might get Cutie Marks for, so they made one up. "…Bad Pony Stoppers!"

They gave each other "high-hooves" in the air.

The unicorn met the contact Sigma met in the castle. He was outside the castle grounds.

"Got what you wanted Alpha. That unicorn was easy to negotiate," he said.

"You did a wonderful job. I'm glad I hired you, you were able to detect what's wrong in a millisecond."

"I learned that technique at the Centerlot School for Gifted Unicorns. That princess was a complete airhead, she never knew my real intentions."

"Glad to see some pony doesn't appreciate Celestia than any pony else."

A group of ponies entered Sugarcube Corner. The locked the main door behind them. They each drew their weapons.

"Every pony on the floor!" shouted the leader.

They surrounded the area, barricading every door and window. One of them cornered Mr. and Mrs. Cake. "Empty that register!"

Mr. Cake was shaking in fright. He opened the register and the pony handed him the bag. "Fill it, every single bit."

Mr. Cake struggled to place the bits in the bag. Mrs. Cake didn't attempt any heroics. She feared her husband might get killed or injured if she tried.

The pony nudged Mr. Cake, telling him to hurry. Some of the bits spilled on the floor. Mr. Cake gathered them up and dumped them in the bag. The register was empty. The pony grabbed the bag. He turned to his companions. "Time to leave."

They were leaving before a certain pony burst in. Mr and Mrs Cake knew it was. Pinkie Pie burst through the door. "Hello, every pony!"

"Watch out! Those ponies are packing heat!" said one of the ponies on the floor.

Pinkie can see the situation, all the ponies were on the floor. Some were under the tables and chairs. One of the thieves aimed his weapon at her. "You're just in time to see us leave."

Pinkie can what he's holding in his hooves. They were mini-cannons attached to their hooves. Pinkie's amazed with such contraptions. "Are those cannons?"

"Custom made," said the pony.

"Not as good as mine." Pinkie Pie immediate showed them her Party Cannon.

The thieves were jaw-dropped. They didn't know that a pink pony can carry a cannon this big. One of them wanted to give it a try. He ran to Pinkie, he gave a big grin. The leader found it creepy as hell.

"I wanna try it!" he shrieked.

He took hold of the cannon, he was ready to fire. Pinkie noticed something's wrong. "Wait, I think it might be blocked."

The pony fired the cannon, he flew back and crashed through the main door. He wrecked Applejack's apple cart. Apples flew everywhere, some smashed and bruised. Applejack and Big Mac were in a mess. Some of the citizens drenched in crushed apples. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were the messiest.

"Ew!" they screamed in disgust.

Applejack was mad at the pony. "This will cost you everything!"

"Eyup!" agreed Big Mac.

A band of armoured ponies arrived at Sugarcube corner. They entered and restrained the thieves.

"It's OK, we'll take them in," the leader said in a calm comforting voice.

One of them handed back the stolen to the Cakes. The ponies didn't leave until all of them left.

Pinkie Pie rushed over to Applejack. The pony that ruined the apple cart joined with the rest. Applejack didn't know what was going on. Despite bouncing around, she was able to know what happened.

"Did you see that? I saved Mr. and Mrs. Cake!" Pinkie Pie couldn't hold it in any longer. "I let one of them use my Party Cannon, something got jammed inside and after he fired he flew and… crashed into your cart. Oops."

"No big," forgave Applejack. "We could always build another one."

"Eyup," agreed Big Mac.

One of the culprits, a unicorn, attempted to use magic. The police restrained his hooves just before he fired a beam in the air. It created a portal to another world. One of the guards forced him to close it, after spotting it. After locking all of them in the wagon, it flew up in the air.

"Who were those guys?" wondered one of the spectators.

"That's the new police force in Equestria," said the pony next to her.

A strange object fell from the sky. None of the ponies spotted it. It just plummeted into a house. The loud noise shook up some of the animals. They ran away from Fluttershy, who was feeding them. She felt the vibration. She tried to comfort the animals, they were already gone.

"Oh my," she said in a worried voice.

She went in her house to find it in a big mess. A big hole in the roof and ceiling, debris scattered everywhere, furniture covered in dirt, and a body under the rubble.

"Oh my." Fluttershy was more worried.

She rushed over, pulling away the rubble. She carried chunks of wood and threw them aside. She struggled due to the weight. Her hooves swept away the tiny fragments, her eyes widen, and she gasped at the sight of the injured body. "Oh My!"
