"I don't know about this," Sweetie Belle being concerned.

"I know this doesn't feel right to just lie to him but what choice do we have," Scottaloo said. "We got to do it, call Alex, get him to let us in the Underground."

Hey Scoots, Are you and the others okay?

"Yeah, why would say that?"

I saw the news about the rally.

"We're fine. Do have time to get some coffee?"

Sure, meet me at the coffee shop down in Appaloosa.

"Sure, Okay."

---

"Kinda, you called," Alex while he and Scttooaloo chatted. "I need a break."

"From what?" Sctooaloo asked.

"Been pile upon work."

"Sweetie Belle wanted to sure you were okay, she went to your house just before she got there, there was some kind of fight, I'll spare the details of what she found inside about what happened with Maya. I'm sorry."

"Anything else she finds out?"

"Yeah, she also find out that you're The Cyber-Knight, we want to help you but you got to be straight with me."

"First, I'm sorry that the others were harmed at the rally. If those Crusaders hadn't shown up it would have been a lot smoother. And second, don't try and talk me out of it, I already made up my mind and I know what am doing. And that goes for the others."

"Okay."

"That's is my big secret and why am I so busy all the time."

"And your excuse?"

"A lot has happened... school, helping out Miss Candance's rally, and I've been taking a lot more than I can handle, reasons I can't tell. That made me so distant from you. I want to know what it's like work with the Underground."

"Sure but I warn you, they're a little hostile with guests."

---

A couple of hours later Alex took Scootaloo to the Underground home operation.

"Here we are, where the plan comes together," Alex as his mask came down and they walked around.

"So, your plan how does Nuform fit in?" Scootaloo asked. "Hailey's said your stole a shipment."

"I stole a couple of canisters, I'm making some adjustments don't worry about it. Take a good around.

"Right."

"Good your back boss," An Underground sniper greeted him. "Gavin needs you."

"Can't I got showing the guest around," Alex replied as the sniper scoffed off.

"Dang, you built all these?"

"Yeah, long as the new weapons keep coming, the Underground stay loyal."

"Is that a programmable matter sword?" She asked while touching it.

"For every new enemy, new solutions are made. Scootaloo, I need to handle something, hang tight?"

"Sure, I can do that," As her phone went off.

Have you made it?

"Yeah, their base is awesome, but not point, I need to find where she keeping the Nuform."

She walked around and saw James Conner's face being scribbled.

"Yikes, Conner would like this..."

"Heh. Guy had secrets and trap doors all over the place. We cracked them all. We own his tower now."

"Did you get that?" Scootaloo asked Trevor.

Yeah, a perfect place to hide a deadly fuel source.

She continued to see more of the place until she saw stacks of cash.

"That's a lot of dough."

"Even more bills downstairs. The old man has cash."

"That sounds promising." Then look over the masks of Bedlam's gang. "Aren't those part of Bedlam's group."

"Yeah, trophies, got to establish dominance if we want to replace Conner and run Canterlot."

These must be well trained if they took down Bedlam's op.

"Makes you wonder where they train?"

"Break time's over, kids, Group 2 head down for training!"

"That's more like it," Then Alex came back.

"So, how do like it?"

"Honestly it's not bad, but I promise Rainbow Dash to help her out with something. I need to go."

"It's okay, if not feeling go right ahead. Don't have a problem."

"Thanks."

As Scootaloo left, she went into her Rocketblade Costume and headed downstairs, once she got there she found a room where Alex and three Underground goons were talking to each other, to avoid being caught. Rocket Blade used her Ghosting and made herself invisible to them allowing her to eavesdrop on the conservation.

"You moved the Nuform?" Alex asked them. "Safely?"

"Yeah, the lab uptown," The gunman said.

"Trevor, they move it," Rocket Blade spoke to him on comms.

"We're not sure if the canister is safe," The brawler asked. "It's hot, buzzing like it's unstable."

"Thank Rocket Blade for that, her powers mess with it, tell everyone not to touch it."

"They have three hideouts, and one of them has to have it."

I need a cleared picture, then I can narrow it down.

"No problem."

"We don't have a damn clue about this stuff, where it comes, or what it is..."

"It's amplified dark matter," Alex said. "And my sister created it. She was the chief chemist for TAS Corp and they killed her."

Rocketblade sends Trevor a photo of the Undergrounds Bases.

"I won't stop until TAS Corp is burned to the ground. Are you with me?"

"You know we are."

"Good, now we move on to stage two, I need power, from generators to car batteries, whatever you can find bring them to the theater."

As they left, Rocket Blade escaped through a vent and called Trevor.

"Got anything?"

Yeah, I clean up the photo, and looks like they're using the Conner construction sites as they're staging ground.

"What about a theater? Alex mentioned one."

That would be Crystal Theater. Ground Breaker is near there.

"Great, that's where the Nuform is, let her know, me and Sweetie Belle have things to tackle."

Will do.

Unbeknownst to any of them, The Phantom heard the conversation and radioed in on someone.

"Yeah, Crystal Theater; The Cyber-Knight yours, but Ground Breaker out of it."

---

"Are you sure that what you heard?" Applejack asked Arctic Ace.

"Every word, and were right about TAS Corp being snakes," He replied as was beating the escape Cozy Glow. "So far, Apple Bloom is heading toward the theater, good things that Hurricane's beat is around there. You're not mad with her."

"No, I'm sure she and the others have reasons for not telling us."
