(Moondancer’s house)

“Well...This is something I wasn’t expecting.” said Kaoru looking at the dead bodies of Moondancer’s foster parents. “Looks like we can’t get any information out of them huh?”

“Something tells me that somepony was listening to our conversation with the power ponies.” Moondancer said as she looked over the damage. “Shot in the head for my mother, and sword wound to the chest to my father.”

“You don’t seemed sad about it.”

“They’re my foster parents that lied to me my entire life, what do you expect me to feel about them?”

“Fair point I guess. I’ll have a look around to see if they have anything that might be useful to the league. You deal with the bodies while I do my thing.”

“Why do I have to do that?”

“Because they were your parents right?”

“........Fine, just make sure that what you find is useful.”

“Don’t I always do?” Kaoru asked as she began to head up stairs. “Now let’s see what we can find up here that might give us something interesting.” The Ghoul said as she began her search in Moondancer’s parents room.

When she entered Moondancer’s parents room, she noticed something written on the wall with blood.

I AM WRATH. I AM STEEL. I AM THE MERCY OF THE ANGELS!

“......Seriously? Great. Not only do we have no clue on who Moondancer’s foster parents are, but now we have to hunt down the idiot that killed them. And I was really hoping this night would be easy.” She said while taking a photo of the writing on the wall. “Maybe Adagio might be able to figure out the pony that wrote this by their writing.”

“Hey, found anything Kaoru?” Moondancer asked.

“Only writings on the wall in what could possibly be written in your dead parents blood. I mean seriously this something you would see in a horror movie. It’s kinda funny to some degree.”

“When you think about it, it is.” Moondancer said as she giggled a bit.

“I’m sending the pic to Adagio to see is she can find the pony that has the same handwriting as this. How are you doing with the bodies?”

“Just got rid of them.” Moondancer said and gestured to her stomach.

“Never thought you would eat them, but than again I’m not surprised that you would do that.”

“Let's head back to HQ and report this.” Moondancer said.

“Yeah, but stay alert. I get the feeling that whoever did this is still near by watching us.”

“Agreed.”

(League of Vigilante Justice HQ)

“We’re bacK!” yelled Kaoru as she and Moondancer entered through the front door of the league HQ. “So anything important we missed while we were out?”

“Well you missed today's news.” Adagio said as she plays the News recoding.

“This is news live as we are at Solace Asylum. As we have received information that all the prisoners are killed! This prisoners were once henchmen to the villains that the Power Ponies defeated. The only survivors are the prison guards. “The reporter said. “Right now, we are going to interview the head chief. Excuse me sir, what happened in the prison during the attack?”

“I don’t know, it was so quick! It was just a normal day in the prison and instantly, a whole bunch of armored bipedal creatures just waltz into the prison and started killing the prisoners with weapons I never seen or heard off! They didn't leave any survivors but us. And sweet Celestia, their helmets! It look like a skull made of metal with blood red eyes! It look like I was looking at Death itself!” The chief said.

“And there you have it. Who are this strange beings? Why did they kill the prisoners but not the guards and what do they want? Right now Power Ponies are on the scene to apprehend the ones who invaded the prison. Stay tuned till we co-” The reporter was soon cut off as a loud explosion destroyed the Asylum also knocked the police, reporters and others who were close to the blast unconscious.

Suddenly a pony figure walked up to the downed camera. But something was wrong with the figure as it was a bit wavy mixed with static. The figure disappeared revealing a bipedal creature with some sort of advanced armor, it's helmet was geometric in shape and has two blood red eyes glowing.

It picked the camera up and faced the camera to it's helmet and spoke in a deep masculine distorted voice.

“Expect us.” Was all he said and destroys the camera.

“I get the feeling Chrysalis wants us to investigate the situation huh?” Kaoru asked.

“Pretty much yeah. Only this time she wants you and Sonata to see what’s going on.” Adagio said as Sonata rushed in the room with Aria chasing after her.

“You called?” Sonata asked as she dodge Aria’s bullets

“Yes I did. Aria, stop trying to kill Sonata.” Adagio asked.

“Then tell to stop stuff tacos under my door. I’m getting tired of cleaning up everytime she does that.”

“You cannot stopped the powers of tacos!!!” Sonata shouted.

“Wanna bet!” Aria said as she pointed a shotgun at the siren pony’s head.

“Can’t hit me!” Sonata said as she dodged the shotgun rounds easily while doing oppa gangnam style.

“Sonata, Chrysalis want’s you and Kaoru to investigate what happened on the news.”

“Roger that!” Sonata said while she saluted to Adagio.

“Normally we wouldn’t get involved in stuff like this. But seeing how he attacked an asylum like that, we need to find out what his motives are. If they’re good then we’ll leave him be, but if he’s some mad man with a gun then take him down with extreme force.”

“You got it Boss!” Sonata said.

While they discussed their plans, the base tv along with other TVs in Maretropolis started to go static.

“Oh okay, that can’t be a good sign.” Aria said as she stopped choking Sonata.

Soon the TV started showing images and videos of the Afghanistan war, The Crystal Empire during Sombra’s rule, the Vietnam War and the Nightmare War. Later it's shows the image of a coffin which has a sick grin,with eyes that looked like it's staring at something and a skeleton arm on its left.

The series of images stopped and showed a live recording. A hooded figure walked up to the camera and reveals his face. A skeletal mask with an eternal grin, blood red eyes and two circular objects on both sides of his mask.

“Greetings citizens of Equestria. Don't bother to change the channel as they are all hacked to show this live feed.”

“Dammit! You monster! I was watching my favorite soap opera!” yelled Kurona.

“And I was busy watching the cooking channel you prick!” yelled Nashiro.

“We are Laughing Coffin. We hunt those who committed unforgivable sins, we hunt those we threatened the innocent and we hunt those who do not bring proper justice. Yes, that's right. Power Ponies, we are hunting you down including your enemies and we will kill you all mercilessly. We have been watching you all for a long long time. Laughing Coffin sends their condolences to those who lost their loved ones to those who were involved in the many attacks made by your so called villains.” He said as a pair of armored bipedal creatures from before appeared behind the leader. They were dragging what looks like a unicorn pony.

“This pony here, is a villain from Las Pegasus and has caused untold suffering to his victims by controlling them with his magic. Watch closely as he shall pay the price for his crimes.”

The two armored soldiers take out what looks like a shock baton and started torturing the unicorn as he started screaming while electricity cooked his flesh and fur. Both armored soldiers stopped their abuse as another armored soldier appears behind the unicorn. The soldier was holding a large combat knife, he grabbed the unicorn’s head with his knife raised and brings it down thus cutting the unicorn's horn easily and caused him to scream in pain even more.

“Let this be a reminder to those who seeked to harm the innocents! Take this unicorn's lesson as a message of what we will do to you.” He said and pulled out a Black Star Type 54. “This is my gun. My power and tool to kill those who harm the innocent. Know this name and fear! The name of the gun and I hold! DEATH GUN!” He announced as he executed the unicorn with a single bullet and faced the camera again.

“We will not stop until we kill you all including you Power Ponies. Expect more attacks. It's showtime.” Death Gun said as the live recording ended.

“Welp, this is going to be a long night.” Kaoru said as she grabbed Sonata. “Come on Sonata, we got an idiot grim reaper to find.”

“You got it!” Sonata said cheerfully.

(Moments later)

[Abandon projects)

        Moments after a quick briefing with Chrysalis, and getting the location of where the broadcast came from. Kaoru and Sonata made their way to the Abandon Projects of Maretropolis city. “Okay this should be the place that the guy with the skull mask was broadcasting.”

“So what are we going to face?” Sonata asked.

“A displaced thinking he can take the law into his own hands. Granted that’s what we’re doing, but it’s in secret and we don’t make ourselves public.”

“I don’t know, I have a bad feeling about this.” Sonata said.

“What are you worry about? You can’t die seeing how you’re like Deadpony from the comic book.”

“I know, it's just that this guy just give me the creeps.” Sonata said.

“So does Aria without her make-up, but you don’t see anypony complaining.”

“Guess your right. But still, I feel like he's hiding something from us.” Sonata

said.

“How hard can it be to find a guy that looks like something you would find in a Nightmare Night store?”

“I just have another bad feeling because you said that.” Sonata said dryly.

“Oh like he’s gonna appear right behind?” Kaoru said sarcastically.

“That’s correct.” A deep distorted voice spoke.

“....You know one of these days I really got to learn when to keep my mouth shut.” She said as she summon her kagune. “Guess we found the guy that interrupted the twins shows huh?”

Suddenly Kaoru kagune was blown in half which caught her by surprise.

“Eat taco bombs!” Sonata yelled as she threw a bag full of tacos at him, only them to do nothing. “Worth a shot.”

“Well….that was something.”

“Don't bother to pull any tricks. I have snipers within 2km, armed with M2000 Intervention and .50 Cal Barrett and are using anti-kagune rounds.” Death Gun said.

“Oh yeah well,” Sonata reached for her bag as she pulled out, what appeared to be, a brain in a jar. “I have magical genie that can grant me any wish I want. What do you think of that?”

Another shot rang through the air as it destroyed the jar and the brain in it.

“NO! My magical genie!”

“I have no intention to kill you both because you're not my targets.” Death Gun said. “Come, let us talk.”

“Normally I would, but I think Sonata might not trust after destroying….her magical genie thing.” Kaoru said only for her attention to caught by a noise behind. As she turned around a portal appeared a few inches away from Sonata. “....Sonata...this magical genie of yours...would it happen to be a displaced?”

“Yeah why?”

“You summoned one.” Death Gun said. “All units, clear the vicinity now.

“A little late don’t you think?” said a mysterious voice coming from the portal. “Then again it wouldn’t matter if you moved out of the way or not,” The figure began to walked from out of the portal.  To Kaoru’s surprise it was an with anthro pony with red eyes and blonde mane, wearing a white coat. “Now who the dumbass that shot my token?” Kaoru and Sonata simply pointed a finger/hoof at Death Gun like children putting the blame on someone else.

“Really…” Death Gun said. “Sigh...people these days.”

“Well you did fire at us first so you’re the one that started mister Texas ranger.” Kaoru said.

“When you first saw me, you showed aggression and my guards are trained to take out those who show aggression.” Death Gun said.

“Which means that it’s still your fault, because they work for you. And if they fuck up then you’re to blame for it.” Gremmy said as the Ghoul and pony nodded in agreement. “So who the guy that looks like something from a horror movie reject?”

“My name is Death Gun.” Death Gun said emotionlessly.

“....Really?....That name’s suck.”

“I can’t remember my name or my past. What do you expect.” Death Gun said.

“Fair enough, so give me a reason why I shouldn’t kick your ass for destroying my token?”

Before Death Gun could reply, he heard a series of sirens from a distance.

“It would seem our time is cut short.” Death Gun said as a Stealth Black Hawk decloaks behind him. “And my reason, I did not know what’s a token.” He entered the helicopter as it takes into the air and disappears in a distance.

“Show off.” Kaoru said as she turned her attention at Gremmy. “So mind telling me who you are pony?”

“The name’s Gremmy, Master of Imagination and….the genie that Sonata mentioned earlier.” Gremmy said as Sonata latched herself Gremmy.

“Yay! My Genie is alive!”

“For the last time I’m not your genie Sonata.” Gremmy said only for Sonata to rub his head.

“I wish for raining tacos.”

“....I’m starting to regret giving you my token.”

“My name is Kaoru, the ghoul of Maretropolis.” Kaoru said as she extended a hand to shake Gremmy’s.

“Pleasure to meet you Kaoru.” Gremmy said as he shook the ghoul’s hand. “So care to explain who that guy was that ran off like a bitch?”

“All I know is that I was ordered to investigate that guy that ran off. For some reason Chrysalis see him as a threat to some degree, and she wanted info on him.”

“Info as in whether he’s insane or just an idiot that doesn’t know the meaning of keeping your organization a secret. I’m going with the second one on that guy.”

“We might want to leave here. I prefer not to deal with the police like I did back home when ever my sister get into trouble.”

“Fair enough, plus I’m on the Maretropolis’s wanted list. We’ll take you to our base so we can talk some more.” Kaoru said as she jump from rooftop to rooftop. “Follow me!” She yelled as Gremmy followed with Sonata riding on his shoulders.

(League of Vigilante Justice.)

“So you two found the idiot who ruined my cooking show?!” Nashiro asked.

“Pretty much yeah. Though I think we might want to boost up on our defenses seeing how he can shoot through our kagune.” Kaoru said as she showed her damage kagune still recovering.

“That’s impossible!” Nashiro gasped.

“Oh it’s possible, which means we need Adagio to help us out if we have a run in with Death Gun and his cronies.”

“But I wonder, how did he developed a weapon that could easily cut through our kagune.” Nashiro said.

“My guess is he has a connection with one of the displacers that send displaced humans to equestrias.” Gremmy said as he place Sonata down. “But that’s just a guess in my book.”

“That could be possible.” Sonata said. “Oh yeah, I want the sky to rain tacos!!!”

“I told you I’m not a….you know what fuck it.” With a snap of a finger, Gremmy simply point outside as it began to rain tacos from the sky. “There, happy now?”

“YAY!!!” Sonata squealed and heads outside as she started dancing under the rain of tacos.

“She’s your teammate? How the hell hasn’t she gotten herself killed yet?”

“Have you ever heard of Deadpony?” Adagio asked.

“Oh...so no matter what happens to her, she’ll be fine in about a few minutes or so.”

“Yes.” Adagio answered.

“.........”

“What’s wrong now?” Adagio asked.

“Nothing, just trying to figure out if the constant of her getting killed a lot has cause any damage to her brain.”

“Never thought about that.” Adagio said. “Aria, don't even think about it.

“What? I wasn’t doing anything this time.” Aria said as she hid the bat she was holding behind herself.

“Why do I even bother…” Adagio muttered.

“Back to the topic at hand,” Kaoru said waving a hand at the doctor pony. “Can you figure out how to deal with Death Gun damaging our Kagunes?”

“That might be tricky. I need the weapons he use against your Kagunes.”

“Oh! I have on of his bullets stuck in my genies token thing.” Sonata said as she handed her the bullet.

“Excellent. Now I can find out ho-wait…This is a normal sniper round.”

“Really? Huh? Oh well, why not use the bullet that’s still stuck in Kaoru’s tail thing?”

“That could work.”

“Wait wha?”

“I wouldn-.” Kaoru was cut off mid sentence as Sonata plucked the bullet out of her Kagune. “OW!”

“Here you go doc.” Sonata said as she passed the half melted bullet to the doctor.

“I shall find out how this bullet destroyed your Kagune.”

“Good, because I prefer not to come back to HQ with holes in me.”

“So...what now?” Sonata asked. “How are we going to go against Death Gun?”

“I might be able to help with that one.” Gremmy answered. “Master of Imagination standing right in front of you all.”

“But he could be on our side but went for a different approach. He did say Laughing Coffin protects the innocent and their after the villains that we faced. But I don't know why they’re after the Power Ponies.” Sonata said.

“Hence the reason why we have to stop them.” Chrysalis said as she enters the room “If those idiots attack the power ponies, then they’ll think that we sent them there and the meeting we have with them would be meaningless to clear Kaoru’s name.”

“Explain please?” Gremmy asked.

“I ate a child’s mother when I was starving to death.”

“Ah, that would make anypony see you as a criminal. Okay guess I’ll have to stay here for a while then to help you out. But I’m only here until the meeting between you and the power ponies are done. Have to get back home before my daughter’s born.”

“You better do once you have the chance dreamy boy.” A feminine voice said.

Everybody turns around and see a dark pink pony sitting on a chair with her legs resting on a table. She was wearing a tight Tactical catsuit. “You should improve your security firewall systems because it took me less than 30 seconds.”

“I take you’re with Laughing Coffin correct?” Gremmy asked as he glared at the dark pink pony.

“Why yes.” She said. “Where are my manners, the name is Pinkamena Diane Pie.”

“Care to explain why you’re here, and why I shouldn’t turn you into atoms?” Chrysalis asked glaring daggers at Pinkamena.

“My,my, my, such threats. The reason I'm here, is to talk.” She said. “Let’s just say my boyfriend plan didn't work since a bright light appeared out of nowhere. Who wouldn't miss that.”

“No shit captain state the obvious, but that really answer my question to the fullest.”

“Anyway, We’re here not to kill the Power Ponies. The reason Death Gun threatened them is to teach them a lesson.” Pinkamena said. “Why, let’s just say Zapp is too brash and always head first. Fili-second who is my doppelganger doesn't take the gravity of the situation seriously. Saddle rager needs to learn courage.”

“Yeah because making a threat like that won’t have any repercussions what-so-ever.”

“Maybe. But I know the Power Ponies stay idle for long.” Pinkamena said. “And Kaoru, don't worry, Laughing Coffin is not hunting you down.”

“Oh thank god. I thought I had to wear another costumes. Sonata! Burn the costumes! We don’t need them anymore!”

“Aw come on!!!” Sonata whined.

“Oh and by the way, I suggest you upgrade your security systems. It's pathetic.” Pinkamena said.

“Oh I’m sorry, incase you haven’t notice.” Aria said as a piece of the roof left a few inches away from Pinkamena. “We don’t have the funds or the materials to upgrade our piece of shit of a HQ.”

“That we can help you with.” Pinkamena snapped her fingers as three squads of armored soldiers appeared out of nowhere.

“Well….that was unexpected.” Chrysalis said. “Wait what’s the catch?”

“The League of Vigilante Justice and Laughing Coffin have the same goal. Deal with those who threatened the innocent.” Pinkamena said. “But we made ourselves public to drive the attention on us but not you.”

“So you want a team up, is that it?”

“Correct. And I'm giving you two squads of engineers. They have access to the materials you need and will help you with the security and development of your base. The the last squad are ordered to guard the base and will not let anyone who is not part of the league in. But if you want them to train you, good luck as they are ruthless in battle.”

“Noted. So is that all or is there something else you wanna tell us?”

“Yes. Kaoru, the Power Ponies have increased their efforts to search for you.” Pinkamena warned. “I suggest you bring one of my men to follow you.” She gestured to one of the armored soldiers who are holding a Famas which has a Acog scope and a grenade launcher.

“That won’t need. I have Arima to keep an eye on her in case they try to capture her.”

“Still just to be safe.” Pinkamena said. “I better get going. Oh and don't tell this to my boyfriend.”

“And who is your boyfriend?” Chrysalis asked.

“Death Gun.” Pinkamena answered. “If he hears about this, he’s going to give an hour long lecture about resources and stuff.”

“We won’t tell him.” said Sonata.

“Good.” She said as she make her way to the exit. “Engineers, get to work now.” Was all she said and left the base.The Engineers took out several tools as they started to maintain and upgrade the base.

“Well...I’m going to head off to bed.” Chrysalis said as she walked off. “Tomorrow I have a mission for you and Trixie to investigate a mysterious hideout at the edge of the city. For some reason some weird stuff have been coming out of it, and it’s causing damage to the city. Find out who’s in charge of that place and bring him down.”

“That area has been dealt with 2 months ago ma’am.” One of the soldiers said.

“Really now? Then care to explain why the city was attacked by a plague of mosquito a few hours ago?!”

“That swarm came from the southwest of the city. The hideout is at the North.” He said.

“Aria, show them the video.” Chrysalis said as Aria show them where the swarm came from. “You may have taken care of the building, but you did look underneath it. There a secret doorway that leads down stairs to a secret facility. Whoever it is that’s down there is the cause of that swarm.”

“I'll inform my superiors about these.” He said and left.

“Good, the mission will start tomorrow. Get some rest team, because tomorrow is going to be a busy day.”
