Equestria Girls-Heroes Canterlot City Season 2
Chapter 19: Episode 19-Meltdown
Previous Chapter Next ChapterIt was another dark and gloomy night at Blackgate, Cantetlot's prison for the worst of the worst. And the one medic was heading into Trickster's cell.
"Alright, Trickster," The Medic open his cell. "Time for your medicine."
"But my dear flunky, you left the meds outside," Trickster mentioned.
"Not the kind of medicine I had in mind!" The Medic was really Slimer.
"Either I'm crazy, or you're melting!"
"It's payback time, Trickster, you're going to suffer for making me what I am!"
"I'll take what I deserve but do I know you?"
Slimer screams and forms two Spike Balls slammed them at Trickster but he dodges it.
"Help!" Trickster screamed so loud that it was Pinkie, Rarity, and Fluttershy in disguise then became their alter-egos.
Back in the cell Slime cornered him and formed a drill and lunged right him, but Fluttershy form a leaf shield blocking it.
"Out of the way, Vine!" Slimer warned her. "Trickster had this coming for a long time."
"I understand your frustration, but we are not here to help him we're here to help you," Fluttershy said then from behind Rarity threw a Freeze Bomb at him only for him to absorb it.
"Seriously, Ice Breaker is that the best you got," Slimer mocked her.
"Wait for it," Pinkie smirked then Slimer was frozen in place.
"It pains me to use brute force," Rarity mentioned. "You're gonna get the help you need. As for you, Trickster, consider yourself..."
Rarity turned around saw that Trickster was gone.
"...Lucky."
"Clown about town!" Trickster said as he was escaping.
Morning came as Slimer was on trial.
"Court is back in session," Judge Caleb said as he sat down. "Mr. Recks you may call your first witness."
"Your honor, the defense calls Detective Spitfire," Recks said.
Spitfire was on the stand.
"Detective, your former partner stands accused of resisting arrest and aggravated assault of Chief Damon Andrews. Shouldn't Greg Galloway be held responsible for these crimes?"
"It isn't that cut and dry, Mr. Recks. Detective Galloway was also kidnapped by Trickster and Melvin. He was subjected to intense psychological torment then exposed to unstable chemicals which mutated his body and mind."
"Objection, this witness is not qualified to testify to Slimer's state of mind!"
"Your honor, I object to the use of the media term 'Slimer.' My client has a name. It is Greg Galloway."
"Both are sustained."
Then the new keeper of Blackgate, Arthur Black was the stand.
"Please state your name and occupation for the record."
"Black. Professor Arthur Black. I'm a senior resident at Blackgate for the criminally insane. Mr. Galloway was psychologically traumatized. by our former patient, Trickster, and by his own transformation."
"Traumas he suffered in the line of duty?"
"Precisely, temporarily insanity if you will. I've since had many sessions with Greg. I cannot speak for the body but I am conceived he is now a completely sound mind."
"I'm Dr. Mark Desmond head of BioMed at Talon Labs. My team has run a battery of tests over the last three months. Though tissues samples were extracted we've been unable to develop a cure for Mr. Galloway's affliction. However, we've learned that each time Galloways uses his morphic abilities his mutated genes self replicate. But those mutating cells quickly fell into remission from lack of use since his capture. We at Talon Labs believe that Mr. Galloway's human side can remain stable as long exercise mind over matter."
Then Trevor was on the stand.
"I've known Greg since high school. He's a good man and a best friend."
"And do you trust him, Mr. Sanders, even now?"
"Of course, I'm prepared to offer Greg a job today as head of security for Talon Labs."
"Greg Galloway, I'm placing you on probation. You're to continue your therapy and refrain at all times from the use of your so-called morphic abilities. You will also be subject to regular chemical testing to ensure that you are obeying the conditions of your probation."
Moments Later at Talon Labs.
"First day, Greg," Rainbow brought up as they were on an elevator. "Nervous?"
"I was a cop for six years, Rainbow, I think I can handle staring at a monitor," Greg replied.
"Whoa," he saw the monitor room.
"Make that 350 monitors."
"Trust, Trevor and Tyler safeguard. top-secret data, research materials."
"Not to mention millions of dollars worth of modern art,"
"Greg, this is Weber the data shift, supervisor, and residents art critic, he reports to you."
"Great to have you aboard sir," Weber said.
"Thanks, and it's Greg,"
"Well, I'll leave you to it then," Rainbow then left.
...
"I suppose they've assigned you a new partner by now," Greg said as he and Spitfire were at Sugarcube Corner.
"Well not exactly," Spitfire said.
"I going miss it all."
'Don't glamorize it, the job took its toll on you."
"I know but it was my identity. who I am."
...
"Looks like I'm a little short," Greg as he got some groceries. "Do you think I can owe you 50 cents?"
"No problem at all,' The cashier said then Damon came up.
...
"Idiot! You wanna end up back in the cell?" Greg said to himself in the mirror. "All that work, all those months?"
"Ditching Andrews as kind cool."
"Gotta hold it together. That's it. Gotta keep buys. Gotta remember who I am." He turns on the TV.
A daring high-rise gold robbery committed by Trickster.
I don't know how that clown got in here and I'm not sure where he went. He just stepped of the balcony and disappeared.
This Is like the beginning of yet another Trickster crime spree. The question is will the crazy crime clown be stopped before someone gets hurt?
The Next Morning
"Galloway, you're here early," Weber said.
"Happy to be working," Greg replied.
The elevator opened up showing Mark.
"Mr. Galloway, I found you,"
"Time for your court-orderd test, sir,"
"Right with you doc."
...
"Whoo, fools' gold!" Trickster said stole something from the observsroty.
"Your through, Trickster." Greg said as slam him until a wall.
"Ah! Detective. Or should I say night watchman?"
"Oh, so you remember me now?"
"I never forget a face I've tormented."
"Speaking of happy days..."
Trickster grabs him and jumps off the bulling the actived his slits.
"... Don't me these aren't sptiffy clodhoppers!"
"Listen,"
"To sound of you going splat? Great Idea!"
He drops then heard a splat.
"Wowza! That's a splat!"
"Trickster!" Now Slimer was in control.
"Dectetive Galloway, you're Slimer?"
"You turned me into slime!"
"Funny. I was trying to turn you into dust!"
"I'm gonna chop down to size!" Slimer form a axe swing it at him.
"Who you are calling tall?" Trickster fired a boxing spring at him that he dodges then harden his fist but misses.
"TTFN. Ta-ta for now!" Trickster escaped through a manhole.
"No!" Slimer scream then Rainbow and Sunset grabbed him drop him on top of a building.
"What are you two doing here? I almost had him."
"Yeah right," Rainbow snorted a bit. "Who almost had Trickster."
"Aren't you taking a risk here, Galloway?"Sunset asked him.
"It's not how it looks, Slimer didn't track down Trickster. Greg Galloway did. Slimer just--"
"Rear it's ugly head?" Rainbow implied.
"Something like that, point is I'm not headed for a meltdown. This isn't about revenge. It's about making sure Trickster did to me never happens to anyone else. Can either of you understand that?"
"We both do. But for your sake please go home, and him to the rest of us."
...
"Okay, I'll get straight to the point, Greg," Trevor said. "Docotr Desomnd show us the test results."
"There's some indication that you been morphing again," Tyler told him.
"Is he going to bust my parole?"
"The results were inclusive and and I convinced him not to be hasty. But Greg, your cells are active. If you keep this up you could pass the point of no--"
"Guys, It slipped for only a second. it won't happen again."
"We're not speaking you as bosses. We're speaking as your friends. Us and the girls seen the news. Trickster's out there."
"Yeah,I know."
Later that night, Greg was overlooking the montiers unware that Trickster was already on the scene.
"I can't belive I have to the night shift duty," Weber exclaimed then saw Trickster.
"The nighty-night shift," He use the boxing spring and knock him out.
"Don't know what it is, but I know what Il like!"
"There gold in them there hills!"
Trickster proceeded to head to the elevator.
"Going up!"
Weber sounded the alarm that prompted Pinkie and Fluttershy to intervene.
Meanwhile
"Trickster!" Slimer called him.
"Slimer! Just the do gooder I was hoping to see." Trickster grinned.
"I'll be the last do gooder you'll ever see!"
Both of them stare down each other.
"Let's dance drippy."
"Sorry, boys," They heard Pinkie's voice. "We're crashing this party!"
"Sparkplug, Vine and Slimer. So much for my gold spree."
"Having problems with your personal demons again, Galloway?" Fluttershy asked.
"Not this time, Vine."
"This is the only spot in Talon Labs without secruty cameras, thought I might just get away with it."
"Just didn't count on you or any other Rainbooms getting here quite so fast, and I thought Torando would show up."
"My. you are good."
"I'll just be going." Trickster said as he hightail out of here.
"I think so!" Pinkie fired a thunderbolt and Slimer fired some sluge at him.
"No fair, three on one?"
"We make a good team? Eh, ladies."
"Please give it up, Galloway." Fluttershy pleaded.
"In your case, doing good is act of self-destrution."
"Call it that you would take the high road, Vine."
"Guss it's time to settle our differences,"
"We're not your enemies,"
"You or other any Rainboom are the only ones I see standing between me and my freedom."
"You got options,"
"Like prison or Blackgate? I go with eliminating witnesses!"
"That's the slime talking!"
"How do you know where Galloway ends and Slimer begins!"
Slimer form two hammers swung at Fluttershy but missed then Pinkie threw an Ice Glitter Bomb at him but he harden his body before it made impact.
"Saw that coming, Guess you'll have to learn a new trick, huh, Sparky?"
He sliced the coupling of the elevator that Fluttershy and Pinike were on casung it to drop.
"Ah, chip off the old block," Trickster mentioned.
Both got off the elevator only for Slimer to grab both of them only for them to be crush by an another elevator.
"Go on kiddo, take off some steam,"
"Kiddo?"
"I made you who you are. You said it yourself."
"And from I'm dangle, you fair better as a villain than vigilante."
"Besdies, crime pays more." Trickster showed his the gold he got. "Join Team Trickster!"
"Tempting." Slimer let both Fluttershy and Pinkie. "But I work alone!"
He grabs the gold that Trickster had.
"Hey, what about the my cut?"
Slimer pry opened the elevator doors and left.
"Oh, they grow up so fast," Trckster said then Pinkie electrocuted him.
...
"Hold it!" Spitfire stop him while holding her pistol.
"Wait a minute, Spits you wouldn't shoot your old partner would you?" Greg asked.
"Didn't know you collect modern art?"
"What do you plan to do with it?"
"Melt it down. You know to jump-start my new life."
"My good sir, please stop this madness before it too late," Rarity said as she and the others readied themselves.
"Isn't it, Ice Breaker?"
"Look, here's the problem as I see it, being Greg Galloway is really hard. Being Slimer is cake. Say your goodbyes This is the last time you'll ever see him."
Greg transforms back to Slimer.
"Now step aside or I'll mash every last one of you, mash anyone who gets in way!"
"Good to know," Spitfire said as she secretly pulls out a Freeze Sparkle Star. "You made this a whole lot easier."
She threw as his body then Slimer backs away.
"Didn't expect that from you, Spifire," Slimer said as turning solid. "I guess you do have some new partners."
With that, Slimer was comperltely solid.
At Blackgate...
"I guess we really lost him, haven't we, girls?" Said a defeated Apple Bloom.
"Yeah," Both Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo agreed.
"Greg's past the point of no return," Trevor said while Slimer glares at them.
"Now... Only Slimer remains," Tylerr added.
At Sunset's apartment.
"Everyone, although we stop him from pulling off the heist," Sunset told the others. "Slimer is now at point of doing something bad and will hurt people."
"Don't worry," Twilight and others hugs her. "We'll stop him together."
"Yeah we show that silme ball what's what!" Rainbow exclaimed.
"We'll make sure no one have theirsmiles upside down." Pinkie added while Fluttershy, Rairty and Applejack nods.
"Yeah, I'm so glad to have friends like you!" Sunset said as she wiped her tears from her face.
