It seems that Equestria is finally at peace, Since throughout the year there's been a lot of havoc. Between Night Mare Moon escaping the moon, to Trixie's fans luring Ursa-Minors to Ponyville. But can the peace really last?

"Come on, Twilight. All I'm saying is that if you just put together some sort of telekenisis machine together with your magic, you can truly make me do sonic rainbooms without even going to top speed!

" Rainbow Dash said. In response to this, of course, Twilight wasn't pleased by Rainbow's ignorance over computer programming, magic, and engineering.. But as a friend, she simply used an answer very similiar to the last one, ignoring the building annoyance in her gut. "Rainbow, I've told you before. I'm an expert in magic and simple logic over physics. Not computer programm-" Rainbow Dash cut off Twilight from finishing the sentance by swiftly saying "Twilight Sparkle, Everyone knows that magic can accomplish anything!" Twilight's response was fairly flat, due to being tired of Rainbow Dash's ignorance. But it had a bit of spark to it, Twilight being a bit amused from the half-joke Rainbow made.

"I thought I was the expert on magic here." "Twilight, are you even serious about this? I'm telling you this is a really good idea!"

Twilight was about to respond when all of a sudden the Mysterious Mare Do Well swooped overhead, being chased by a sillhoutte going to fast to identify. "What in Celestia's name was that!?" "Rainbow... I think that was Mare Do Well.. Like, the one I and the others pretended to be!" "That's impossible, Twilight!"

And that's when it happened.

  -BOOOOOOOOM!!!-

"Hoy apples!!!" yelled Rainbowdash, "Did you see that?" BASH! Something's exploded! we gotta find cover! That debree's flying everywhere! And everywhere includes here-" -BAM! "ARGH! That was too close! Come on Twilight!!!" BOOM!

~~~~~-=Meanwhile, 2 hours earlier...=-~~~~~

"Finally. You're trapped now. You can't escape this time, Mare Do Warp." "Mare Do Warp? What a silly nickname. Did you make it for me?"added Mare Do Warp. "Trapped by a bounty hunter and you still make jokes. I honestly can't understand you." "Ha ha... I understand myself perfectly, Anyways; you think you've finally done me in, Darklight?" snapped Mare Do Warp...

Darklight was a pegasus pony with dark grey skin, while his mane was like twilight's except near white, one stripe bright gray the other flat gray. Blue eyes that have seen too much, with a solar eclipse cutiemark, which has been cut badly near the edge of it, leaving a scar and thus making it a not-so-cutiemark. Darklight moved his left hindleg back a bit, along with his left frontleg, and then to keep that uneven setup in the front, he slowly pushed both frontlegs forwards, tilting his torso and head downwards, while slightly uprising his posterior and tail. Mare Do Warp hesitated, and then recognised that combat stance. []火焰衝[/] or, in English, Flame Punch. It's a kind of Karate that is designed-not necessarily for defense-but to deal damage. Designed by some of the most aggressive warriors in all of equestria, who were, actually, quite religious... Flame punch consists of 10 moves, and 2 stances. Mare do warp only knew 5 of the moves and both of the two stances. Celestian Pounce, a deadly attack stance, Lunari stone, A defensive stance, that doesn't do much good, but is easy to get into. Darklight was currently in the Celestian Pounce stance. Half-suprisingly, Celestian pounce, although can be used for a pouncing move-Celestia's rage-the Celestian pounce can also be used to truly deal a Flame Punch. which of course, most predictably, is the main attack. Celestia's rage or Flame punch, that was what Mare Do Warp was expecting. But she had her doubts, Knowing that a truly cunning pony would know to not be obvious in the art of combat.

All of a sudden, Darklight's left front-hoof moved up and back as if Darklight was reeling back and then forwards to deal the deadly Flame Punch, Quickly, Mare Do Warp dodged, leading to the deceptive trick played by Darklight to work. Quickly, Darklight reeled back as if he was uncontrollably continuing the punch, but then he quickly pounced forwards when most of his weight was on his hind-legs. "Shifting energy" is what they call it. A side affect from reeling back for a punch... Or a pounce. Mare Do Warp was barely suprised by this and entered the same stance Darklight was in, and then quickly did a weaker flame punch they call Match Fist, which is faster but less powerfull, and deliberately blunt to stop a pounce without dealing too much damage -- or start a stagger backwards.

Darklight was intercepted by Mare Do Warp's right hoof, quickly twisting midair to absorb-rather then take-most of the damage from the attack, landing on his hooves he was caught off guard by Mare Do Warp's charging attack while he was getting out of the un-counterable dissyness a Match Fist can deal. Cracker's Blade is the move Mare Do Warp used, an attack designed to paralyze the foe by sort of creating a bruise by half-impaling the victim with the tip of the attacker's hoof, where it is sharpest, though it can't just hit anywhere. It MUST, on all accounts, MUST hit the lower middle of a pegasus-pony's neck in order to work. A ground ponie's weak spot for this attack is right where the neck connects to the torso and shoulders, while a unicorn-pony's is where the neck connects to the head - Where the air pipe would be at it's most vulnerable for a ground pony - but there is a move that involves the destruction of a pony's air pipe connecting to the pony's lungs.

Mare Do Warp lashed out, and right before she hit, Darklight barely managed to counter with Lunari Stone. Dark cringed in pain from Mare Do Warp's attack, as noted earlier, This is an art of attack. Not defense. But he wasn't fully paralyzed.. though the attack slowed him. Badly. Mare Do Warp jumped over him quickly, and fled through a window. After a few seconds of rest to lose the paralyzation, Darklight got up and went after Mare Do Warp.

~~~~~+=Back to current time...=+~~~~~

BOOOOSH!!!"-AARGH!" "Rainbow!"

"I swear to Celestia, that's the last time Mare Do Warp's escaping me... But, I should help clean up the mess caused by Mare Do Warp blowing up this building..."

"...But of course, I should look out for ponies who have been hit by debree."

"Urgh! Come.. on.. you.. stupid.. debree.. ARGH! It won't budge! Somepony, Anypony, help!"

"Hmm.. this seems to be a real hotspot for landing debree. Wait, what's that?"

Darklight spotted a pony waving in the air as if she needed help, which would make sense being in a world like the nether due to being so close to the explosion...

Instinctively, Darklight dove in to help.

"Are you okay?" "No! Yes! I mean, my friend! Help me move this debree!"

Darklight joined in with Twilight to try and tip over the debree, though Darklight did not know that Rainbow Dash was under it.. yet.

"Oh my Celestia, there's a pony under here!" "Yeah Sherlock Whooves. that's why I needed you to help!"

"I'll get her to the hospital.. Can you keep looking out for ponies stuck under debree?"

"Sure thing." Immediatly, Darklight picked up rainbowdrash by the stomach-carefully-and started flying. Many ground ponies and unicorn ponies don't know why they can't just put items on their backs, but pegasus ponies know why; it would compromise their wings.

"There! The hospital!" Darklight swooped down almost as fast as he could. Any faster, and the gravitational shift from landing would hurt Rainbow Dash further.

"Uuurngh..." "We're losing her! Come on, get her heart beating!" "No, not like that. That would injure her further!" "Aargh..." "Screw your thoughts! We have to take the risk!" "Charging!" "Ready!" "Go!" Zap. "Stay with me darn it!" Zap ."Come on..." Zap.

"Uuuhnn..." "My head..." Rainbow Dash woke up, though, of course, the last thing she remembered was half of a roof falling on her, so she really had no idea where she was... "Finally, you're awake!" "Twi... Twilight? Where are we?" "The hospital," added Twilight. Darklight walked in, though Rainbow Dash had no idea who the heck he was.

"Is she awake yet?" "Yeah, I'm awake. But a real question is... Who the heck are you?" "Darklight. Pleasure meeting you." "Now, I have a few questions. And answers, I'm sure you're both curious about what you saw." "First off, What did you see?"

"We saw a pegasus pony chasing after Mare Do Well... even though partially, I AM Mare Do Well." said Twilight. "That was not Mare Do Well." "Of course it was...! Well... actually..." "It was a different pony altogether, and as long as she's out there Ponyville will be a living nightmare, and Mare Do Well's reputation will go through the floor." "So what do we do?" "Catch the fake, of course." "Do you know who is behind this?" "No, I only know that isn't the real Mare Do Warp. I don't know the mare behind the mask." "Hmm..." "We should set a trap!" said Rainbow. "Wait, You've never told me your names." "I'm Rainbow Dash." "And I'm Twilight Sparkle." "Hmm. Well, anyways, Mare Do Well is not one to fall for traps. We need to find her and corner her. Then we must defeat her... which I have failed many times. Incase you didn't see the scar on my cutiemark, that's from one of the battles... She had a knife."

"Okay, the plan's simple. Split up, Find the fake, call for backup, done!" "No, you don't wanna be talking into a phone while you have her in a corner. Unless you want her to paralyze you and flee." "..." "We have to stick together." Added Darklight. "That's not very efficient. but it would work I geuss." Said Twilight. "But wait, Rainbow's wing can't fly." "That's a huge problem, since she's the only other airborne pony in this group. We should get more ponies to help." "Alright."

"So, you're Soarin and Spitfire?" "Yeah... Who are you?" "Darklight. I need help, there's been a pony causing havoc while being duisgized as the Mysterious Mare Do Well. Ponyville's a living nightmare, now. And we need help" "Okay." They said in unison.

"Applejack, There's a fake Mare Do Well creating chaos, we need help fighting her!"

"I'll help." "Spike, you need to look for that old spell tome that gives you fake wings."

"Okay, Twilight."

"The Wonderbolts? You got the Wonderbolts to help?" "Yes, he did."added Spitfire.

"We'd be happy to help clean up a criminal." said Spitfire "Same here, y'all." "Okay, so here's the plan. We start searching for her and when she shows her mask anywhere, we pursue." "Okay."  

"Twilight, I found the spell tome." "Thanks spike. Let's see..." "Okay, I think I've figured it out. Applejack, stay perfectly still." "Okay sugarcube." said Applejack.

Twilight's horn started to glow faintly, then fairly, then highly, and Twilight finally unleashed the built energy onto Applejack. All of a sudden, Applejack grew translucent butterfly-wings. "Perfect. Now, on myself." And the process repeated.

Twilight also grew the butterfly-wings. "Okay, Let's go." said Darklight.
