Author's Notes:

Just a bit of some filler for ya. Fluffy fluff fluff and fluffed up fluff. :derpytongue2:

Special thanks to Twilight_Shimmer for a contribution at the end of this chapter.

A few days passed by and everyone kept their ears and eyes open, wondering when The Markless stranger would give them a call. Thankfully their call had been made. Around Friday evening, one by one, everyone had been sent a message. The coordinates of where they had to go were made, and they knew just what to do.

Saturday morning, at roughly 8:00 AM, everyone had pulled themselves together and were rushing out their doors and grabbing their materials. Food, their cellphones, and most important at least in their heads; weapons. While none of them had access to real firearms, they did at least have a few arsenal of secondary weapons to help them out. Well, with the help of the Dazzlings and Amethyst, of course.

There was just one place that Trixie needed to go first.

"Trixie, why are we at a storage facility?" Starlight asked.

"Because I need something in here. I remember a while ago, Adagio gave me a set of keys to pull out some stuff that they kept in storage. And I know just what I need."

Trixie dashed off towards the right, leaving Starlight Glimmer by herself. She tapped her foot against the ground, and she turned her gaze around, looking to see if anyone was around or nearby. No one. It was just her and Trixie out here.

After a few moments, Starlight turned her head around to look towards the shiny finish that was attracting her eyes. Pulling out slowly and nicely was a red, shiny, and absolutely stunning sports car. Its body was slender, making it long in length. The finish was perfect and clean with no scratches or stains. It was practically spotless. And on the hood of the car, right near the grille was a small hood ornament with a small dolphin.

She looked and saw Trixie's head poke out the side window, grinning.

"Like it, Starlight?"

"Whoa... how did... what... did she--"

"Uh, Adagio and her sisters are really good at paying their bills! Plus they saved up a lot of stuff, so they got this!" Trixie said. "Come on, get in!"

Starlight walked over the shot-gun seat, and climbed in. Inside, she could see it was just as pretty as the outside. Its seats and cushions were a nice shade of tan. The dashboard was alive and steady, and the seats looked so comfortable she could relcine back into it if she wanted.

"We need something fast to get there, and this is the perfect thing for it. Now lets go find the girls!" Trixie said, her hand pushing against the stick-shift.

The engine roared and hummed. The powerful beast was coming to life, and it was ready to clock some miles. With a windup, it sped its wheels and the car sped out of the storage facility and onto the road. Now it was time to meet up with the girls.


The sports car slammed its breaks outside of Canterlot High. Now all she would do would be to wait for the others to arrive.

Looking down, she felt her phone buzzing. Pulling it out, she looked down and saw a text which made her smile.

Vinyl: The Song Of The Sea has been gathered. We'll be meeting you soon, and we shall shout out our call signs!

Trixie grinned and chuckled a bit.

"What's so funny?"

"Well, as silly as this sounds... the girls are coming, and they've got call signs for themselves."

"Wait, what?" Starlight asked, tilting her head.

"I don't know, but they said they'd be here soon," Trixie replied. She turned her head to the side. From a small decibel, she could hear the sound of a song blasting out of a stereo. Big stereos. "And that would be one of them now."

Trixie and Starlight adjusted the windows, pulling them down so they could get a better look and sound. Coming from the corner with a screech was Vinyl Scratch in her music car. Big beats of a song were blasting from the stereos in the back, and grins could be seen on their faces.

"Alright, what's your so called, 'call signs'?" Trixie asked.

Turning the music down, Octavia in the seat next to Vinyl, replied. "Considering we've helped save the world, I figure it's best that we have our own superhero names!"

"Octavia, we're not superheroes," Trixie said, shaking her head.

"Maybe now, but just you wait, we'll be them eventually! And after all, we're on a rescue mission, are we not?"

"Well, yes, but--"

"--Then we're getting superhero names! Vinyl, care to start us off?" Octavia shouted with excitement.

"Oh boy," Trixie held her head.

Vinyl sprung out of her car, landing on her feet nice and easy-like. In one of her hands was the fiddle for her violin which she twirled around in her fingers, intertwining it so nice and easy. She wore a neon blue tank top over shorts with the same color, and running shoes to match with her tank top. Lastly, a pair of sunglasses rest on her eyes, hiding her magenta colored pupils.

"Class Act, ready and standing by!" Vinyl cheered, grinning with enthusiasm. "Alright, take it away Octavia!"

Octavia played a few chords on her guitar, rocking her head out like she was performing at a concert. "Rocktavia, ready to rock and roll!"

Around another corner, came a girl on a green motorcycle. She sped up with an intense amount of power, and with a swerve she flipped the parking part out on the bike and jumped off of it like a ninja. Jumping into a fighting stance, she extended a katana that was hanging on her back along with a shuriken.

"Gurīn ninja! Junbi ga dekite, tatte iru!"

"Great to see you Lyra!" Trixie grinned.

Rolling out from the same corner was a black SUV, and there was an equal amount of music bleeding through the speakers. Jumping from the open door, was Bon Bon. Dressed in a baker's outfit, and twirling a cooking knife in one hand and a rolling pin in the other.

"The Baker, ready and standing by!" Bon Bon grinned. "Amy, you ready to kick some madman's butt?"

Amethyst smirked and grinned as she pulled herself through the sunroof of the van. She adjusted the padding in her shoulder pads, trying to make herself look better than before. And in one of her hands, she gripped a black and white colored Rubik's cube.

"Retro Girl, ready and standing by! Alright Trix, you got yours?"

Trixie awkwardly looked at everyone, and her finger drooped. "Um... no."

If a record could scratch, it would. But instead, the music just shut down, and everyone stared at her awkwardly.

"Okay seriously, do you not have a superhero name?" Amethyst asked.

"Here's my question, why is this of all things your biggest concern right now?" Trixie asked, folding her arms.

"Because if we're gonna fight a bad guy, we should at least have individual names!" Octavia shouted.

"This is not a priority, Octavia!" Trixie called back.

Amethyst and Octavia groaned.

"Fine. Party pooper," Octavia grunted, getting back in the shotgun seat of Vinyl's car.

"You do have weapons on you though, right? Anything useful?" Amethyst asked. "I've cooked up plenty of explosives for all of us to keep on ourselves just in case."

"Well... I did bring some smoke bombs?" Trixie said, bashfully.

"Anything else?" Vinyl asked, rolling her hand around.

"Okay, I did bring a few magic tricks and items that I think could be useful," Trixie admitted.

"It'll do! What about Starlight? She bring anything useful in our ragtag band of geeks?" Lyra asked.

"Lyra!"

"It was a compliment! We're all a little geeky."

Starlight shrugged. "Well, I did bring something with me. I have it sitting in the back seat, actually."

"Good enough!" Amethyst called.

Trixie closed up the windows of the car, and everyone got back in their seats. Reaching to her belt, Trixie grabbed a small radio and spoke into it.

"Okay, first of all, thank you Vinyl for taking radios into consideration," Trixie spoke.

"Copy that, Trixie. You're very welcome."

"Alright, so if I remember correctly, all of us are connected here. Anything we have to say, we'll all be in the know so if anything goes wrong, we'll know about it. If any of you sees or knows something that needs to be addressed, let us know. We're all in this together now. Our friends lives are on the live, and they need us. I know I can count on you girls, and I know we've got each other's backs."

"Hear hear!" Bon Bon spoke.

"Alright. Song Of The Sea--"

"--We really need a better name for our group, just saying," Octavia interrupted.

"--Lets dazzle the crowds and make it loud!"

She expected to hear replies. Or really, anyone's thoughts. But all she was getting was a 'really?' look from Starlight.

"I couldn't think of anything on the fly," Trixie sheepishly said.

Starlight just chuckled and rolled her eyes. "Lets just go."

"That was just terrible."

"You know I can hear you." Trixie sneered.

"I'm only saying," Bon Bon said.

"You probably should work on that some more."

"This is not important right now! You are wasting a lot of time right now!" Trixie snapped, no longer able to hold it in. Her face was a bit red from yelling, and she could feel herself shaking. "... S-Sorry."

"No, its fine Trix." Amethyst replied.

"Lets not waste anymore time."

"Right. Lets go!"

Trixie's hand hit the stick-shift, and the car began to purr. With a big rev of its engine, it swerved out of the area and made a right turn to exit out of the CHS area. Lyra hopped back on her motorcycle and she followed straight after as well. Not long after, Vinyl's car was next, and lastly Amethyst followed.

Four vehicles, seven girls, one mission. It was now or never. Everyone's hands gripped the wheels of the vehicles they were driving, not taking their eyes off the road for even a second. They needed 100% focus, and this wasn't something they were going to lose.

Trixie's hands stuck to the steering wheel as if she had glue attached. She wasn't going to let go for even a second. Thankfully, Starlight wasn't complaining. She just laid back in her chair and looked through a few CDs and cassette tapes for some music to play. On the dashboard, Trixie had put a picture of herself and Adagio close. The photo itself was taken of the two of them outside the abandoned theater, the day they officially declared themselves partners.

A smile graced her lips and her finger slowly wiped on the picture, focused on the beauty that was Adagio Dazzle.

"Don't worry Adagio. We're coming to save you all. I promise."

Unbeknownst to the group, they were watched by a pair of eyes. Two pairs, actually. They had watched them pull up in front of the school, and they watched as they departed to the destination that was unknown.

"Do you think it is wise for them to go?" Vice-Principal Celestia asked, watching the final car go.

"Do you think it would be a good idea to stop them?" Principal Luna asked. She smiled as she watched the group leave, staring ahead at the rising sun.

"Bring them home girls," Principal Luna whispered, watching them go.
