A few weeks after Slimer's arrest, Trickster was soaring through the skies in his Blimp along with his goons and his heavy hitters Brick and Smash.

"Okay, boys let's brighten up the brownstone with Trickster White," Trickster said as his minions handed him his paint spray and covered most of the city in white.

"Tweet, tweet," Trickster heard Spade as he on his rockets boots.

"Coming through."

He used spray painted black and white on the east side.

"Black and White, the colors of Spade,"

"This my turf, card shark!"

"The east side belongs to me, Trickster, and you're violating my air space!"

He tears right through the blimp causing it to fall.

"You've derailed my dirigible!" Trickster growled then put on his springs.

"Spring forward, fall back!"

Trickster kicks him causing him to lose control of his jets and crash. Then his goons ran only stop by his robots.

"I proclaim, this street Rictus Rule!"

"It's my hood and it's Shawville!"

Then out of nowhere a flag bearing a red castle and the building revealed two blue swords that were crossed with tiger claws marks appeared along with two individuals.

"I prefer the ring of Trident Avenue."

"In my opinion, Regel Valley."

"And who are you two?"

"The name's Danu."

"I'm Cozy Glow."

"Cozy Glow and Danu, eh?"

"What I suppose afraid of a little kid?!"

"What yourself pal," Cozy confronted him then slam him against a wall. "I'm a lot tougher than I look!"

"Kid's got spunk," Spade snickers. "But Canterlot ain't big enough two of us, skinny let alone four!"

"Exactly, which I propose we settle this with a wager," Danu suggested.

"What's the game?" Trickster asked.

"Any of us who manages to capture and unmasked our greatest foes shall hand the victor their part of Canterlot without question."

"But no matter..." Trickster started

"...who wins..." Cozy Glow continued

"... the losers will be the Rainbooms!" Spade finished realizing the only people who can stop them are the Rainbooms.

By first light already the Canterlot News and Police Department were on scene.

A turf war continues to plague our city as Trickster, Spade, Cozy, and even Danu clash to become Canterlot's premier crime boss. Canterlot PD has of yet been unable to restore order. Chief Andrews, are you expecting The Rainbooms to get involved?

The way I see it, The Rainbooms are the root of the problem. Canterlot never had lunatics like these until they showed up! Mark my words, we're taking down these villains and the Rainbooms.

Upon hearing that Rarity muted her TV.

"You know Rarity," Sweetie Belle spoke up. "I hope to see the day that you and others no longer have run away from the long arm of the law."

"Appreciate your opinion, Sweetie," Rainbow chimed in. "But I don't think that Canterlot PD is deputizing any of us, anytime soon."

"Why is Chief Andrews think we are the problem?" Fluttershy asked. "All we doing is trying to help."

"In his case, having heroes means that super-villains came as they please but he doesn't know without you or the others the city will be in chaos," Twilight answered.

"But there are some of Department who would be pleased to have us," Pinkie added then unmute the TV.

Canterlot's new commissioner of police had this to say.

"Canterlot is in midst of a serious crime wave," Clay Morrington the new commissioner was having a press conference. "And with criminals like these,' it may be time for Canterlot PD to start thinking outside the box."

"Well it seems Mr. Morrington has open mind us," Applejack said.

"Maybe, it's time for us to think outside the box and go public with his support," Sunset suggested.

...

At Canterlot Precinct

"We're going show the commish what Canterlot PD is made of," Andrews declared. "And that means not standing by while the Rainbooms nails these crazies for us, Not this time!"

"I want every last one of you to step up efforts to find Trickster, Spade, Cozy, and Danu because finding them you'll find the Rainbooms!"

As Andrews was talking, Spitfire was heading making the chief suspect.

Outside Spitfire is called the Rainboom Wave.

"Detective Spitfire," Rainbow answer it flying through the city. "What's new?"

"Chief's pulling out all stops. You and the others need to low." Spitfire addressed the situation.

"Not when four of Canterlot's Most Wanted running lose."

"Then we need to strategize," Spitfire suggested.

"Meet me and the others at the abandoned cannery on Tekken Street."

"Sure, Give me an hour."

"Well, that explains a lot!" Spitfire turned a saw Andrews was behind her.

"I was wondering why you're always sneaking away?" He grabs the Rainboom Wave and smashes it. "You won't need this anymore, don't worry about it, your little powwow will go right as planned but first your badge."

...

One hour later the Rainbooms were there.

"Okay this is the place," Sunset said. "Any word on Dect. Spitfire, Rainbow?"

"Not sure, she turned off the Rainboom Wave as soon I got off with her," Rainbow responded.

"Both of my shoulder and back are starting to feel sore," Pinkie addressed as her Pinkie Sense was going off.

"Meaning?" Applejack asked her.

"Were walking straight into a trap."

"Oh dear," Fluttershy shudder a bit.

"Trap or not, we can't take a risk it," Rarity exclaimed.

"Your right," Rainbow agreed. "We can do this!"

All seven of them went inside without knowing that the villains were watching them with Danu watching via video screen.

"Detective Spitfire?" Twilight called for her. "Are you there?"

"Don't move!" Andrews said then several lock-on lasers were on them and police officers surrounded them and lights came and he steps into the light.

"Nice work, Spitfire," Andrews said on setting the trap then Sunset took a step forward then a shot was fired.

"Stay put, ladies," Andrews said holding his pistol. "That unless you want the shock of a lifetime."

Outside several police cars surround the exit.

"Canterlot PD beat us to the punch!" Trickster exclaimed.

"How did that happen?" Spade asked.

"So that means nobody wins this contest?" Cozy wondered.

"Until those, the masks come off the game is on," Danu said it ain't over.

Back inside...

"Radio the commish. Let him know Chief Damon Andrews is about the meet the ladies behind the Boom."

"Well, Rainbooms you gonna remove the masks, or do I have to come over there and do it one by one?"

"Take a wild guess," Rainbow mocked him.

"Stun them!"

Then the lights went off.

"Somebody get the light!"

"Huh?!"

"What's going on?" Fluttershy asked.

"Who knows, Rainbow grab the Detective and head to the roof," Sunset called.

"Got it," Rainbow nodded.

"Get those lights on! Now!" Andrews shouted.

Rainbow grabbed Spitfire and heard to the top of the building.

"Did Cyber Witch do this?" Spitfire asked.

"Nope," Rainbow shakes her head in denial.

Up top of the building both Applejack and Rarity barricaded the door down.

"Uh, I just want you to know that I didn't have anything to do with..." Spitfire pleaded.

"We know," Sunset said then melted the cuffs. "Andrews will do anything to get us even using you as bait."

"The whole city's got dark. Not that I'm complaining."

A couple of Danu's Gang symbols appeared on the buildings.

"Danu," Twilight said grimly. "He must hack into Canterlot's central grid."

The door opened and Andrews and two officers appeared.

"Stop them!"

"Any ideas?"

"Sure do, be readied to jump,"

All of them jumped off the building and landed in Sunset's Car 'The Dragon Dasher' and zoomed out of there with the police cars, Trickster, Spade, and Cozy in their vehicles as well.

"So much for my career in law enforcement is over with," Spitfire said.

"Don't bet on it," Sunset said as she activated the radar. "Twilight, any luck on finding Danu?"

"Got his signal he's at a broken-down warehouse, "Twilight reconfigured the map.

"Never thought I'd I'd be on this end of a police chase," Spitfire admitted the Sunset initiated the turbo boost.

Meanwhile, Danu was typing on his computer making sure that he ends the victor and created serval obstacles for Cozy, Trickster, and Spade.

"Why is Danu so interested in being our guardian angel?"

"Danu doesn't want to share any of us with Canterlot PD or anyone else for that matter," Rainbow replied as Cozy, Trickster, and Spade were following them.

Danu turned on the bridge as soon the Rainbooms got off.

Trickster took out a pogo-stick while Cozy Glow's Car turned into a jet.

"Mind the gap, Spades! Ha-ha!"

"Mind your yap, screw-loose!" Spade turned on his jet boots.

"Hasta la vista, suckers!" Cozy exclaimed.

...

"Are you sure this is the place?" Rainbow asked Twilight.

"Yeah," Twilight asked. "He should be right here, "

"Then what's this?" Rarity picked up something and then handed it to Twilight.

"Is this the source of the blackout?" Fluttershy asked.

"No, it's a transmitter, Danu routed a signal to lead to us here," Twilight said then the transmitter popped a screen.

"Welcome, I've been expecting to see you again," Danu said.

"Where are you, jerk?" Rainbow asked him.

"You'll find out very soon. Let's say cops and robbers don't mix and where I sit neither do two things."

"Danu Smellu!" Spade called him out. "The game belongs to Spade!"

"Back off tubby, they're mine!" Trickster exclaimed.

"Ladies first, boys!" Cozy grinned.

"You need to find us, first!" Pinkie created an explosion concealing themselves.

"Oh no, you don't!" Trickster said as the three ran in there.

Danu pressed a button and a capturing device was sprung and the device flew out of there and headed to Danu's location.

"And the game moves to a swift finish... Danu's favor."

...

Danu's crew hoisted the device on dry land and surrounded it.

"Careful. The Rainbooms and their helper are sure to be in a foul mood."

It opened and revealed to be Cozy, Trickster and Spade.

"Boys, eliminate the competition."

The goons armed their weapons and close in.

"Something tells me we are about to receive some special guests."

Meanwhile, The Rainbooms and Dect. Spitfire was on the water in Rainbow Surfer.

"Danu hacked into Canterlot's power grid through the transatlantic fiber-optic cable," Twilight explained.

"But how'd he splice in?" Spitfire asked. "The cable runs along the ocean floor.

"Remember Danu's riddle," Sunset brought up.

"Yeah, he sits near two things that don't mix. Whatever that means?" Rainbow asked.

"The answer is water and oil," Applejack replied.

"So we're on the water..." Fluttershy started.

"...And heading to an offshore oil platform." Twilight finish it.

"We have our Rainbooms," Andrews said overlooking his binoculars.

"Let's move, people! I want these boats ready to launch now!"

"You're busy man, chief," Morrington said.

"First, I receive the word you're unmasking the Rainbooms then poof. You're on the docks sending half our force to sea."

"Commissioner, we sighted the Rainbooms heading east in an unlicensed watercraft. They have a fugitive in tow!"

"So could be The Rainbooms on the lam or maybe they got something about this pickle we're in."

"You're not saying you want a couple of vigilantes to do police work?"

"I'm saying we need to be smart about this, If we stop them now we may never find out where they are headed."

At the lower deck of the oil rig.

"Plan?" Spitfire asked.

"You keep a lookout," Rainbow said.

"I thought we were partners."

"But you're not our sidekick."

Meanwhile...

"You're a lousy host," Trickster mentioned.

"And you three are lousy competition," Danu shot back then snapped his fingers to motion them.

"You know guys, maybe there is enough in Canterlot for three to share," Spade grinned the Cozy and Trickster grinned right back and easily took care of Danu's men.

"Now, what was that you were saying..."

"About the quality of the competition," Cozy Glow brought up.

Spade, Trickster, and Cozy back Danu into a wall.

"Hey losers!" Rainbow called them out making them turned her and the others.

"No more playing games," Applejack said. "You want us..."

"Here we are."

Spade stared down Rarity and Applejack, Rainbow, and Fluttershy prepared themselves at Cozy. Trickster and Pinkie did a starting contest, and Danu look at Sunset and Twilight.

Spade, Rarity, and Applejack engaged in a fist-off, and Rainbow and Fluttershy battle Cozy in the air. and Trickster and Pinkie did their to out prank each other.

"What kind of bird packs a punch?" Danu asked. "A crane."

He presses a button on his gauntlet that activated a crane and slammed the hook at Sunset and Twilight both of which dodged it.

"There's nowhere you can go that I can't reach!"

Both dodged the incoming hook as Spitfire climbed up.

"In my book, keeping a lookout also means watching your back," Spitfire said as she head to Danu's control box.

Rarity, Applejack, and Spade jumped to the signal tower and the three flyers were right behind them. Fluttershy created a root and grabbed Cozy's leg and threw her right into him and both crashed into a couple of pipes then Applejack tie both of the up with her rope.

"No fair!" Cozy complained.

"Danu's remote control system," Spitfire saw the control pannel.

"Bye-bye!" Trickster lunged a kick at Pinkie only for her to do a backflip kick at him.

Trickster pulled out an exploding rubber chicken and threw it at her only to roll out of their way, then Trickster tackles right into her, and then Pinkie did a lighting kick at him send him then fired her party cannon knocking him out. The crane got closer to Sunset and Twilight until it stopped.

"What!?" Danu exclaimed as he pressed buttons and nothing worked.

"Lights out, Danu," As Spitfire ripped the control.

"Give it up while still can," Sunset suggested.

"I'm the last man standing! The game belongs to me!"

Danu swung his staff at them which they dodged, then Twilight used her magic and tried to hoist away but Danu held on but Sunset did a flaming karate chop and broke it in the hall. The Twilight did a quick punch to his gut making him fall to his knees then both of them punch his lights out then Twilight dropped the other half. Both of them saw Spade and Cozy trying to get free and Trickster being dazed from Pinkie's cannon. All seven of them saw the building change Danu's gang symbol to the Rainboom symbol of crossed guitars with a rainbow lightning bolt having two wings on each side then Spitfire walked toward them.

"I thought you guys some good press."

On a boat, Andrews rolled his eyes, and Commissioner Morringtion smiled.

"Yeah!" The Crusaders hive-five each other.

...
...

Both Morringtion and Andrews made it to the top and saw the four villains all tied up along with Spitfire.

"I surrender," Spitfire said while having her arms out.

"I promise to save a cell for them right next to yours," Andrews said as held the handcuffs.

"I'm not sure this is a good idea, Cheif Andrews," Morringtion intervenes.

"Detective Spitfire aided and abetted known criminals and resisted arrest and fled police custody!"

"That's one way to look at it. Here's another way."

"Detective Spitfire helped to bring in four of Canterlot's Most Wanted."

"It seems to me that the department's had its share of bad press lately."

"Do you really think it's wise to arrest a hero?"

Andrews said nothing and walk away but Morringtion stop him.

"Aren't you forgetting something?"

Andrews hands Spitfire back her badge and then walks away.

"Nice work, detective."

"Thank you, Commissioner."

A few days later, Morringtion was reading the Canterlot weekly then Sunset showed up as Phoenix.

"Dect. Spitfire informs me the pager you supplied to her is on the blink," Morrington told her.

"What's on your mind commissioner?" Sunset asked him.

"You know, I feel chasing you or others is counterproductive not to mention a waste of police resources."

"Thanks to you and the others Rainbooms, the time is finally right to take our alliance to the next step."

"Commissioner?"

"Good press sometimes goes beyond the law."

"The hearts and minds of Canterlot are behind all of you."

"But we do our best work from the shadows."

"That won't need change. All I ask is that every last one of you guys helps me make the city a safe place for everyone."

"I understand."

And Sunset left leaving a fiery trail into the night
