Equestria Girls- Heroes of Canterlot City Season 3
Chapter 17: Episode 17-Underground Part 8-Light and Shadow
Previous Chapter Next ChapterWhen Scootaloo came around, she wasn’t on the rooftops anymore; she didn’t know where she was. She couldn’t leave the room she was in, because she was trapped behind a green energy shield.
The shield was see-through so Rocket Blade could see where she had been taken; it looked like an old underground subway station, one that had been abandoned. The question that was on her mind now, ‘how did she get here’?
“I didn’t want it to come to this, but you left me no choice.” A voice said.
Suddenly, the Phantom uncloaked himself and appeared in front of her. “You think I wouldn’t keep an eye on you after I found out about your day job.”
“You’ve been spying on me."
“Yeah, and it’s a good thing I was; Thomas explained. “Let Cyber-Knight and TAS Corp destroy each other; go back when the heat dies down.”
“No, this city needs me.”
“I’m trying to teach you and the others how to survive.”
“If you want us to survive, then why sell out why one of my friends then?”
“It wasn’t meant to go down like that; you weren’t supposed to get caught, Hailey broke our deal.”
“That doesn’t change the fact that you betrayed my trust.” She then looked at the energy field trapping her, “Now let me out of here.”
“Damnit Scootaloo, I’m not going to lose you too!"
“I'm not going to let people die, just save my ass," She prepared her Plasma Punch " You underestimate me.”
When the force field came down, Rocket Blade pulled herself forward and kicked her uncle away. They both landed on one of the station’s train tracks; Phantom activated his gauntlets, ready to fight.

“I don’t want to fight you, but I will if I have to.”
"So will I."
Phantom charged his gauntlet and released a blast of green energy, Rocket Blade jumped out of the way and shot a Lighting Bolt to his face; once he was temporally blinded, she pulled herself towards him and began punching and kicking him. But when Phantom pulled the web off his face, he knocked her away; she jumped backward and got ready for his next attack.
The two of them spoke while they were fighting, “Why can’t you see I’m trying to protect you?!”
“Because all I see you doing is blasting me with that green energy,” She replied as she jumped out of the way of one of his blasts.
Phantom grabbed her by the wrists when her guard was down, he pushed her against the wall, trying to get her to listen. He said to her, “Didn’t Rainbow Dash teach you anything other than being a hero will get you killed?!”
“She taught me to do the right thing and help others; even if they don’t appreciate it.”
“Why?!”
“Because it’s right.” Rocket Blade kicked him in the chest and pushed him away. She then pulled herself towards him and began punching and kicking him again. When he was knocked away by the final kick, he decided to take a different approach to this and cloaked himself.
Rocket Blade now had no idea where he was, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t sense him coming; with her training with Pinkie. She jumped behind her cloaked uncle and pulled him up into the air; this uncloaked him, allowing her to kick him in the back and slam him onto the ground.
While Phantom was recovering from that, Rocket Blade flew up to one of the platforms above them; she took this time to get her breath back. But suddenly, her father uncloaked himself again and appeared next to her; she moved away from him to avoid any attacks.
“You’re throwing yourself at enemies you can’t beat; do you know who else did that?”
"Don't you dare say it, you lost the right when backstabbing me!"
Phantom then supercharged his blaster, and he then released a powerful blast from his gauntlet; but Rocket Blade once again dodged the blast and pulled herself towards him, she once again punched and kicked the air out of him.
However, when Phantom knocked his niece away, he pushed a button on his wrist, this generated an energy shield around his body. Rocket Blade needed away to break this shield, she knew she couldn’t touch it directly, so she used objects and throw them at Prowler.
All the items she threw just broke to pieces upon impact, they weren’t doing anything to the shield, Phantom just kept walking towards her. But when Rocket Blade threw a fuse box, it was disabled.
Night Light just shouted to his daughter, “How are you going to stop Cyber Knight, do you even have a plan?!”
“No, but that’s the way we do things; we make it up as we go along,”
Rocket Blade then jumped towards her dad and kicked him off the platform, they both fell back down to the train track, with Prowler hitting the ground first. He rolled across the floor to the wall; when he sat up against it, Rocket Blade shot an electro web at his arm, trapping him.
“Look, I know I messed up; but we're family.
“Family; that didn’t stop you from lying, manipulating, and fighting me, being family isn't enough."
"It doesn't have to be like this, you and me hating each other, that's how to happen between me and Rainbow, I won't repeat it.
"I don't either, but like it or not I need to help people, and I'm going to let you down, I need to be better than that."
