Dash sped down the road towards the bank, with Twilight adjusting her tube top. The cyan mare eyed her.

"Whatcha doing, Twilight?"

"Trying to fix my top..." said the mare. "It just barely covers my breasts..."

Dash chuckled. "I think Sterling did that on purpose..."

"You think?" asked Twilight, finding a comfortable position before looking out the left window. "What's that?" she asked, seeing a large, cleared out area with construction vehicles, all of which were parked and empty.

Dash eyed it. "There's a company that's trying to build a lab here, but they've been halted by the gang wars."

"A lab?"

Dash nodded. "New Horizons. Not sure exactly what they're into..."

"Huh..." muttered Twi. "I guess we'll find out eventually..."

"Expect the gang war to be over soon?" asked Dash with a chuckle.

"Hopefully..."

After a few more minutes, they pulled up to the bank. A few of their own team's cars were already, along with a couple empty black vehicles. Dash parked her car and she and Twi got out.

"Rainbow Dash," said Shining Armor, walking over to them. "and T... Twilight?"

Twi chuckled nervously. "Hey, big bro..."

"You look... different..."

"I'm wearing more revealing clothing?"

Shining smiled. "That's probably it," he said, eyeing both mares' collars before turning. "This way," he said, walking to a nearby car where a green colt had a laptop set up. "Tech has some info on what we're up against in there."

Twi and Dash followed him to the green colt, who had short dark green hair with on strand that hung down the center of his face. He wore a purple vest over a bare chest and long, ripped jeans. He also had goggles on his head and headphones around his neck.

"Tech..." said Shining, stepping up next to him. "Show them the footage."

"Okay," said the colt as the two mares gathered around to look at the screen. "I tapped into the camera feeds in the whole building. Now, check this out," he said, rewinding the footage to the start and playing it.

The camera was behind the front desk, up on the wall and pointed at the front door. It showed two guards sat at the front desk, one reading a magazine and the other watching the front door. Then, a red mare entered dressed in a long black leather jacket that went down her legs and black leather gloves on her hands. Under the jacket she had a black tube top which covered her D-cups and black leather panties. On her feet, she wore black leather boots. She also had long, black hair that went down to her butt in the back, down to her breasts on the front sides of her face, and just above her eyes in the front.

"Can we help you, ma'am?" asked the non-reading colt.

The mare walked up to the counter and, in one quick movement, pulled out two pistols and shot the guards. After a brief moment, an alarm went off. Guards began entering the room from the left and right and the mare eyed them.

"Hands up!" one yelled. "Or, we'll shoot!"

All the guards aimed at her, three on each side of her. She smiled as she she slowly began raising her hands. Once she was in a T-pose, she flicked her wrists outwards as a thread shot from both sleeves, each with a small dagger at the end. They flew through the air and shot through the heads of one guard on each side. The remaining four guards all stared as the mare retracted the blades back into her sleeves, the two guards falling down dead. She then shot the remaining two on her left, ducking and spinning to dodge bullets as she shot her blades through the last two colts' legs. Both fell to the floor as she retracted the blades. She then shot one guard as she walked over, the last one staring at her.

"Please... don't..." he begged.

The red mare smiled and put a hand on his head.

"Shhh... It's okay..." she said gently, before her blade shot through his head.

It was then pulled back into her sleeve as the guard fell. The mare looked around the room before walking away.

Dash looked at Tech before looking at Shining. "This bitch is still in there?"

"Her and two others, one of which looked like a kid," Shining replied. "Why do you think we haven't gone in?"

Dash sighed and groaned. "She has wrist blades that can be retracted with a strong thread... Unbelievable..."

"And, that's... kinda why I'm here..." said Tech. "You see... the one who built that for her... is my sister... She was captured a week ago..."

Twilight looked at him. "I'm sorry..." she said apologetically, before looking at Dash. "What do we do? Go inside?"

Dash crossed her arms in thought. "First time we'd be fighting a member of the Skulls... They're usually so discreet..."

"So, what do we do?" asked Twi. "Stop the Skulls and find out where Tech's sister is?"

"Yes, and... hopefully..."

Shining nodded. "Now we need a plan..."

Dash nodded. "I'm all ears..." she said. "...because beating a mare that fast and that skilled... is gonna take some work..."
