It was late at night in Canterlot as Rainbow Dash as her alter-ego Tornado was soaring through the skies of the great city as she went to Manga Tower as she was about to bust a break-in.

"Sheesh," Rainbow said looking at the hole in the wall. "Looks like the glass gotten seared, just like at Kibble Research lab."

She went inside and saw all the tech was burned to a crisp. She walked to the end of the room and see the man was doing< Rainbow picks up a rock and throw it at him grabbing his attention. Rainbow took cover just as the man turn around.

"Working late?" Rainbow asked him.

"Midnight shift," The man replied. "Like you Tornado."

The man fires a laser at Rainbow who avoided it then grabs him and threw out of the building Rainbow landed on the building and the man flying by jetpack was on his back looking down on her.

"Well, you're full of surprises." Rainbow was shocked that he recover in the air.

"I'm Blowtorch," Saying his name. "Get it, 'cause I bring the heat.

Just he was about to fire, three magenta stars came out of nowhere throw his aim off. He then saw Twilight standing right next to Rainbow then liquid-like substance drip out of his blasters.

"Mm-mm-mm." Blowtorch said looking at then aimed at the girls. "You're paid for doing that Cyber Witch."

He looked at the fuel gauge was empty.

"Next time," As Blowtorch flew away.

At the Rainbooms Secert Lair.

"Thanks for having my back," Rainbow thanked her.

"No problem, I guessing that our arsonist," Twilight asked her.

"Yep,' Rainbow responded. "What his deal?"

"Not sure why is he targeting computers?" Twilight wondered. "But he has a jetpack and laser tech like nothing I ever..."

She looks and notices that her hairpin was burned.

"Blowtorch huh?" Twilight coldly said. "I'm calling a night beside and Trevor had to meet up Mayor Tomlin tomorrow."

Later in the morning Twilight and Trevor were at city hall looking at the photo.

"Ha-ha," Tomlin spoke up. "Don't let the photograph fool you. I may be holding that but Trevor's Dad caught it."

"Dad always did subscribe to charity," Trevor mentioned. "Mayor Tomlin."

"Trevor, Twilight it's been too long," Tomlin said while shaking their hands. "But unfortunately I didn't call you two here for a social visit."

"Talon Labs business," Trevor asked.

"I ain't going to sugar coat this," Tomlin pointed out it was bad news. "As both of you know, the city's about award the contract to rebuild and expand to children's daycare."

"Yeah, to Talon Labs," Twilight said.

"The council is leaning toward JackalCorp," Tomlin said.

"What?!" Both Twilight and Trevor gasped.

"Talon Labs and the foundation have supported the daycare from the beginning," Trevor explained. "My dad, Dean Candance, and Twilight's Parents founded it."

"And when does JackalCorp do public service?" Twilight added. "They have a history of allegations, investigation, and resignations. Too many 'ations' for my taste."

"Guys," Tomlin spoke up. "The council isn't concerned with JackalCorp's reputation. They're leery of yours."

"How?" Trevor asked.

"Public Image," He pointed it out. "Well, let's just say it doesn't inspire much confidence. Look, your dad, Twilight's parents, and sister-in-law are close friends of mine. You got the passion but they see you as a..."

"A party boy," Trevor said. "Mayor Tomlin, let and Miss Sparkle let me the case for the Talon Foundation. Give us a chance to convince them. Please."

"The voting of the contract starts tomorrow at 8 a.m, sharp," Tomlin said. "And wear a tie."

"We'll be here and at the top of my game," Trevor said.

At Trevor's house.

"8 in the morning sounds bright and early," Rarity said as she was stunned. "Maybe it's the best idea to get a good night's rest."

"No, not until I have gathered enough ammo regarding JackalCorp's questionable business practices," Trevor said while the information. "This is the company that produced dangerous weapons to take you and the others down and yet they don't see the big picture. The daycare was dad's cause, not to mention, Twilight's family had great memories. I need to be sure that both of us can sway the council's vote."

Then the alarm went off.

"Police alert," Trevor looked at it. "The security system of a law firm's have been trip."

"On the 64th floor," Rarity wondered.

"Blowtorch," Trevor said then his phone buzzed.

"Message from Twilight," Trevor looked at it.

(I got word from Detective Spitfire that Blowtorch is at it again. Both me and Rainbow will handle it.)

With Twilight and Rainbow...

"One thing's for sure," Twilight said examining the window. "Blowtorch's work alright. But a law firm doesn't fit the profile."

"The only question is now is where the bug?" Rainbow asked then a bright flash came by and Blowtorch was right in front of them.

"What do have here," Blowtorch said. "Two Rainbooms that have wings."

"Time for you flickered out," Twilight said then fire a blast of magic at him but Blowtorch dodged it then she and Rainbow took to the skies and followed him.

"Ready to play some chicken," Blowtorch said.

Twilight threw a couple of bombs at him.

"Oh, no," He said as they went off. "Tear gas? I give something to cry about."

He then fires lasers at them who quickly avoided them.

"Horseapples!" Twilight remembered something. "I got to get up early for the meeting with the grand council. Can you handle this?"

"Sure, I have him flying in circles," Rainbow said as Twilight flew away.

"Alright, Blowtorch where are you?" Rainbow called him.

"Right above you," Blowtorch said as hovering over Rainbow then fire a laser beam that send her crashing into a building. "So long Torando."

Hours after the Meeting.

"So, how did it go?" Fluttershy asked them.

"It went bad," Trevor sighed with defeat. "They already cast their vote."

"I already failed twice," Twilight felt guilty. "As Cyber Witch and myself. I tried to do everything and failed to accomplish anything."

"It's not your fault," Sunset reassured. "You two trying to take a position that means a lot to parents."

"And what happened to Rainbow?" Trevor asked then Rainbow came in bang-up.

"My word," Rarity gasped. "What happened?"

"Blowtorch," Rainbow said while clenching her fist. "He pulled a fast one and I ended up crashing into an abandoned building and nothing left but my pride in pieces."

Police are investigating this stream of arsons plaguing Canterlot. The latest is a law firm which many of Canterlot's industrial clients. The firm major bankruptcy cases' as the girls watch the news.

"Well it seems that Blowtorch has busy," Pinkie said then gasped. " Wait a minute those companies were arson victims too."

Pinkie then looks up the most recent news. "Mercury Telecom declares bankruptcy after arson! That's it!"

"What's it?" Applejack asked.

"Think everybody," Pinkie asked. "Who'd profit from these companies being out of business?"

"JackalCorp," Applejack replied. "That's who."

"Of course now I get," Twilight realized. "It was staring me in the face the entire time. Blowtorch doesn't commit arson. He commits corporate sabotage and he's working for Henry Jackal."

"Makes sense," Rarity thought about it. "No wonder why that nasty scoundrel Jackal is so interested in funding for the children's daycare."

"Nothing like a little good PR to keep the nosy public distracted from dirty business," Sunset added.

"The only question is now is how do we stop both Blowtorch and JackalCorp," Fluttershy asked then Trevor and Tyler came in.

"We're going to fight with fire," Tyler said showing them a couple of jetpacks. "These bad boys are going to even the playing field."

"And I think I have a way to draw out our pyromaniac friend," Trevor said being confident.

And in local business, Trevor and Tyler Sanders stepped into the spotlight again this time with breaking news at Talon Labs. as the newscaster for the Canterlot Weekly was speaking.

"Due to the board being concerned about our competition," Tyler said. "We can't go into full detail yet but in the next few days, Talon Labs will unveil a prototype that makes us the premier tech company in Canterlot."

"In fact, it would set the tech world on fire," Trevor added.

Any concerns about competition from Jackal Corp?

"Let's just say I wouldn't be them right now," Trevor mentioned as Blowtorch was watching the TV as the phone started to ring.

Blowtorch answers the phone. "Yeah I'm watching it," Spoke to the person on the phone. "No problem, my usual rate, I understand, like the others. Talon Labs will go down in flames."

...

It was nighttime in the City of Canterlot, and Blowtorch made it to Talon Labs. He blasted right at the wall and made a circle went inside, without knowing that Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash as their alter-egos were quietly following him.

"Hello, Blowtorch," Rarity said as the three stepped into the light standing face to face with the villain.

"Tornado," Blowtorch laughed a bit. "I see you survived you crack up."

"Game's over, we know about JackalCorp." Rarity sternly said.

"What?" Blowtorch asked. "Is that like a rock band or somethin'?"

"For someone who gets his kicks scorching tech companies," Applejack sternly said. "I mighty find hard to believe you've never heard of them."

Blowtorch fired his flamethrower at them but Applejack threw a golden horseshoe at him throwing his aim off.

"Give it up, Blowtorch," Rainbow said. "Your goose is cooked. "

"Says who?" Blowtorch said rocket out of there. "No one touches me in the sky."

The girls press a button on the chest and activate their jetpacks.

"What?" Blowtorch was surprised.

"This time, we brought the heat," Rainbow said with a smirk.

In a brief moment, Rainbow and Applejack punched him then got out there and then fire lasers at the three but they all avoided them swiftly.

"Handles nice," Blowtorch said. "But does it have horsepower?" As he uses the afterburner.

As they were chasing, a man saw them up in the air.

"I'm moving to Manehatthen," The man said.

The three Rainbooms were still Blowtorch through the city, Applejack armed her rope and lasso his legs trying to pull him which allowed Rarity to go from behind and ice his jet pack which caused him to fall down to the top of a building. Then Rainbow came to ground level.

"Last chance, Blowtorch," Rainbow said.

Blowtorch once again fires his lasers but it doesn't work.

"Your tanks on empty." Rainbow pointed out that the Blowtorch's gear has been put on ice. "It's you and me."

Blowtorch ran towards her hoping to land a hit but Rainbow sidesteps and punches his ribs.

"No one touches me..." Blowtorch holding himself together.

"In the sky?" Rainbow asked pointed up then down. "Not anymore."

Blowtorch yelled and ran right at her, then Rainbow kicks him right in the face which cause him to lose his balance, he regained it did multiple punches at her but proved futile due to her speed. Blowtorch lunged a kick at Rainbow who catch his foot then spin it which fell to the ground.

"Face the facts," Rainbow said as Blowtorch saw all seven of them as his mask started to crack. "You've been burned."

Moments later most of CPD along with Detective Spitfire were at JackalCorp saw Blowtorch all tied up and unmasked.

"JackalCorp employee of the month," Spitfire said as she knew The Rainbooms handled this.

At City Hall...

"Well based on recent facts that come to light," Tomlin said reading the newspaper that JackalCorp was behind the events of
the Blowtorch arsons. "I suggest that the council recast their vote in the matter of the daycare as well as all contracts currently held by JackalCorp."

Most of the council had guilty faces that all voted for someone that was willing to eliminate the competition by sabotage.

"Trevor, your dad would be proud if we're here today," Tomin said.

"Thank you, Mayor Tomlin," Trevor thanked him. "I like to think there's more to me than a good-looking tie."

With that not that Blowtorch was behind bars, Henry Jackal will face a lot of lawsuits.

Villain File 01- Miles Blackburn alias Blowtorch

Miles Blackburn was already an expert in and with a thorough knowledge of flammable agents. After he is horribly scarred by a blaze at a chemical factory, Blackburn mechanically engineered an insulated, fireproof to protect himself. This specialized outfit is equipped with an extensive arsenal of fire-creating weapons, including a military-grade Flamethrower, various incendiary devices like grenades, napalm bombs, and a sword-like blade of superheated plasma for close-ranged hand-to-hand combat. A jetpack is also mounted on the back of the armor to allow for high-speed flight. Thus earning the name Blowtorch.
