Equestria Girls-Heroes Canterlot City Season 2
Chapter 3: Episode 3-House of Cards
Previous Chapter Next ChapterIt was another dark and gloomy night in the City of Canterlot. As Spade aka Jonah Shaw was up to his old tricks. The Shaws were once the lords of high society, but the family fortune was lost making the biggest losers of all time and Jonah knew the best way to rebuild the fortune was to train common birds to do high-flying robbery and carry high sacks of money to him.
"Yes my pretties," Spade called his birds. "Show me the money!"
Then Rarity enters the scene as her chilly superhero fashion-forward persona "Ice Breaker." She fired a blast of ice magic to freeze on his birds carrying the money.
"Sorry to rain your parade," Rarity said then draw her Ice daggers. "This isn't yours to steal."
"Heh," Spade laughed armed his swords. "I'm always prepared for all kinds of weather."
Both Rarity and Spade clashed their swords at each other.
"Chop-chop, Ice Breaker," Spade said and then threw one his sword at her then she dodged it.
Spade grab the sack of money then and took it to the skies via his rocket boots. Rarity drop down the building and went to her motorcycle she called it the Ice Cycle, she got in and followed.
Spade grinned then look to see that Rarity was following him with her ride.
"Now that's a cool ride," Spade thought to himself.
Rarity increased her speed on the motorbike and jump off the ramp, and while she grabs his shoes, she freeze them so that he would fall down on a couple of stairs, two signs, and then into a pile of trash.
Spade got up and Rarity drop down from the building.
"It's time back to the cage, brute," Rarity said that he going to prison.
"Not before we rattle yours," Spade said with a smirk.
"I'm sorry, who 'we'," Rarity asked before she got kicked by Spade's robot bodyguards.
Rarity groaned a bit and saw Spade get in the truck and fled the scene.
Meanwhile with Spade...
"For once, I have got to pull a job someplace that Ice Breaker isn't," Spade said. " Or any other Rainboom for that matter."
Then Spade lookout window. "Stop the car!"
She's known by many names. Fashion Designer, Talented Actor on one side, Impressive Singer on the other. But who is the real Rarity?
"You," Spade growled seeing Rarity's face.
Despite a larger-than-life public persona, Rarity has privately managed to remain a mystery? Join me, Jessica Bailey for the first in-depth interview with Canterlot's most eligible bachoerlette... on "A Day in the Life"
In fit of anger, Spade threw a Spade Dart at the TV which then explode.
"If there's anyone I despise more than the Rainbooms, it's Rarity!" Spade growled. "She's got looks and money."
Then Spade grinned a bit. "Yes, money. Rarity's money."
Then morning arrive and Coco Pommel had just arrived at Cauroal Boutique
"Oh, it's about you came Coco," Rarity's sister Sweetie Belle saw her. "The TV people will be here any moment."
"Are you sure that Rarity has to go through with this?" Coco asked.
"Yes," Sweetie Belle replied. "Super Hero Guidelines 101 says any hero with a social life must cultivate their public image."
"But Jessica Bailey has a rep of making private lives a little too public." Coco reminded her. "She could be messing with the wrong people."
"I know, but if Rarity has always been quite the go-getter and complexes her hair, the bottom line is this avoiding the press only just makes them more curious."
"I see your point, how long will this thing last." Then the two heard the doorbell.
"From Dawn to Dusk."
Moments later Rarity had just put on her casual attire and saw a camera in her face.
"You are getting my good side, yes?" She asked.
"We are," Jessica smiled. "I pride myself on catching muy subjects off-guard. After all, I'm here to get to know the real Rarity."
"Nice digs." The cameraman said.
"Wait until to see where I work at," Rarity implied. "I'll show the rest of the boutique after we had dinner."
"To Talon Labs then," Jessica said.
As Rarity took the crew to the lab. Both Coco and Sweetie Belle were hard at work making dinner when they heard the doorbell.
"Well that's strange," Coco said. "Dinner not until 8'o clock."
"I'll check it," Sweetie Belle went to see who it is. "Who... is it?"
The little girl look up and had a worried look on her face.
"Long time no see, Sweetie," Spade greet her.
"Sweet Celestia! 😱" Sweetie Belle exclaimed.
It didn't long for Spade to tied up both Coco and Sweetie Belle from escaping.
"Ooh, it's getting dark," Spade grimly said. "Good thing I brought my evening jacket."
He enters the room with a gentleman's robe that was custom designed by Rarity.
"And since my feather friend cut the phone and power we won't have any interruptions while catching up, lassies."
"Now where is Rarity, kid?" Spade asked Sweetie Belle.
"Rarity is in the city on very important business," Sweetie Belle answered him.
But really Rarity was showing her latest designs via by fashion show.
"You see, bold colors project can bring an aura for confidence," Rarity said.
"Even the fashion designers have a personal stylist," Jessica said.
"Then we await for Rarity's return," Spade mentioned. "We are gonna have some fun."
Spade was having fun as he wrecked the house.
"I must insist that you leave the premises at once," Coco requested him.
"Without settling with her?" Spade asked then threw an orange at a picture of Rarity and her friends. "Bull's eyes!"
"What as Rarity ever done to you!?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"Oh, nothing really except own everything that should rightfully be mine!" Spade glared at her. "I am from noble blood! The Shaws were once the toast of society! I am a Shaw!"
Then a timer went off.
"What's cooking?"
Spade left the room, and both Coco and Sweetie tried to break free.
"Now we're talking," As Spade was in the kitchen. "The perfect crime... diner and burglary.
Meanwhile...
"Are how coming along?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"Almost there." Coco reached for the house phone. "He made cut the power to her cell phone but not the house phone!"
"Oh, ladies!" Spade called them. "The roast is overcooked but not bad. what you got there!"
Spade grabbed the house phone from her possession.
"Trying to give your gal pal Rarity a call, huh?"
"Good idea,"
Back at Talon Labs...
"At Talon Labs, this amazing industry has over a dozen separate divisions including elections, engineering, biomedical research, all cutting edge as the kids say," Rarity said. "My friends and I work under Trevor and Tyler who have accomplished many great feats!"
"Working at a place like this must be honor and privilege," Jessica then Rarity's phone ringed.
"Oh, excuse me, darling," Rarity said. "Hello?"
She heard Spade's laughter over the phone.
"Guess who?"
"It's Mable?"
"No, it's Spade. Is this the right number?"
"Of course, I remember. I never forgot a voice that pretty."
"I'm home with your sister and Miss Pommel and they wanted me to tell you dinner getting cold."
"For you my good sir, I'd drop anything."
"And no Police, and they get it? Understand?
Then Spade ends the call.
"Can we call it a rap?" Rarity requested. "I have a friend in need."
"No problem," Jessica said. "The camera loves drama."
"Sorry, but where I going, no cameras are strictly off-limits."
"Now what?"
With Rarity. she harnessed her geode and became Ice Breaker and got on her Ice Cycle and called Applejack.
Meanwhile, at Sweet Apple Acers, Applejack was snoring in her room just as the phone went off.
"Who is it?" Applejack groggily answers.
"It's me," Rarity's voice was on the phone. "We have a situation, Spade is at my house and he is holding both Sweetie and Coco hostage, meet me at the boutique as soon you can.
"Don't worry partner I'll be there," Applejack then became the heavy lifter, Rock Roller.
...
"Top floor, ugly furniture, tacky artwork, bad Feng Shui," Spade made bad comments on decor. "Time to redesign the bachelor pad."
Then a golden horseshoe caught Spade by surprise.
"What on earth?" Spade was puzzled then turn around.
"I say," Sweetie Belle act surprised knowing her sister and Applejack's secret identity. "It's Rock Roller and Ice Breaker!"
"What? How did you find me!?"
"It's what we do," Applejack said knowing Spade's pattern.
Then Jessica and the cameraman enter the boutique.
"Hello, any home?" She asked then both of them heard clanging.
Both of them went upstairs. and saw Rarity and Applejack were fighting him, Applejack threw her golden horseshoe at him but he dodged It then lunged forward at Applejack but Rarity did a spin kick.
"Forget, A Day in the life with Rarity," Jessica sees the two heroines.
"Please," Applejack requested. "Go before you get hurt!"
Spade threw his Spade chain at the girls and knock them out and slammed them on the ground.
"Oh, horseapples," Coco said in concern.
"Well, what do we have here?" Spade looked at the TV Crew.
Both made a run for it both stopped by his robot guards.
"Don't harm us, Mr. Spade." Jessica pleaded.
"Oh. you're that reporter from TV," Spade knew them. "So, where's Rarity?"
"I'm beginning to wonder myself," Jessica added.
"Forget her, I'm your new star! I'll give you an exclusive over here."
Spade picks Rarity up.
"The true identity Ice Breaker."
Sweetie Belle, Coco Pommel, and Applejack gasped upon hearing this.
"Get ready for close up," Spade said. "Glacier couldn't bring the heat against Cyber Witch and Phoenix, Black Falcon and Blowtorch were flying in circles against Tornado, and not even that screw-lose Trickster could pull off what I'm about to do."
"Time to break the ice," Spade said as got hold of Rarity's mask.
Just as he was about to pull it off Sweetie tackled him. "That's for ruining the roast."
Then she was cornered by Spade's robot guards.
"Oh, you're going to regret that, little brat," Spade glared at her then Applejack cleared her to grab his attention to see that both of them were free due to Applejack's strength.
"Ready for a rematch," Applejack said.
"Round two then," Spade smiled. "Break those blockheads!"
The robots lunged forward and the Applejack kick them into the cameraman and the film got out.
"The tape," Jessica exclaimed.
"I've got it," Sweetie Belle said then accidentally kick it. "Oopsy."
The tape went into the fire destroying it!
"Sorry, I'm a bit of a klutz," Sweetie Belle sheepishly said.
Meanwhile, Spade knocked both of them into a wall and then bring most of the house on them hoping that would finish them but they were safe as Rarity summon her gem shield.
"I can't get a break here," Spade groans a bit then went to the top of the roof prompting both of them to follow him.
Applejack threw a horseshoe that exploded knocking him back but did a backflip kick at Applejack. Rarity fired a blast of ice magic at him but it missed him. Spade armed his Spade Chain and fling his sword at the end of it. Rarity froze the sword part and Applejack grabbed the chain along with him then hold him in the air.
"You should learn to play nice, Spade," Applejack said then punch his lights out. "And now your down for the count."
"Well played," Rarity liked it and then both of them left.
"Did you get all that?" Jessica asked the cameraman.
"I'd hope so," he replied as then Rarity and Applejack walked up to them as themselves.
"Jessica?" Rarity asked. "What are you... What's going on here?"
"It was one of those Rainbooms show up," Jessica said then gave Rarity and Applejack a sudden look.
"What?"
"Funny how you and that Ice Breaker have never been in the same place at the same time tonight,"
"Look it's them!" The cameraman pointed up seeing Ice Breaker and Rockroller on top of the building then saw them on the Ice Cycle and headed back into the city.
A few hours later, Detective Spitfire and the CPD escorted Spade and put him in the armored car.
"Well that's enough excitement for one day," Rarity said. "Shall we finish the interview?"
"Thanks but I'm on a different subject," Jessica said. "There's more to Spade than meet the eye!"
"Looks I stole one thing from you after all," Spaded proudly said. "The spotlight!"
The police, the TV Crew all left the Ice Cycle came back with Ice Breaker and Rock Roller.
"Nice show, you two," Rarity praised both of them.
They took off their mask and revealed Sweetie Belle and Coco posing as them.
"Thanks," Sweetie replied turned to Coco. "And you were right, about flirting with disaster."
"In more ways than one, she was right," Applejack said knowing that publicity and superheroes don't end well.
"
