Once she left, Scootaloo called Apple Bloom.

"Talk to me, Bloom how are things?"

Not good, we're too late, Alex is heading way to the Plaza, and that's not even the worse thing, TAS Corp and Underground are all over Ponyville, it's a war zone.

"Hang tight, I'm on my way!" Rocket Blade made her way to Ponyville before reaching the Plaza. there she saw the two sides fighting. TAS Corp soldiers were in an all-out war with the Underground; brutes would knock soldiers out of the way, allowing the Underground to advance, only to be met by Roxxon using shields to block the gunfire and gauntlet users.

Even though it would help if these two sides just took each other out, she couldn’t let them cause destruction during their fight; she jumped down to the street and got the attention of the two small armies.

“Hey, if you’re going to shoot at someone, shoot at me,” Rocket Blade stated.

Both gangs turned to her and aimed their weapons at her, Scootaloo should have thought about this threw before jumping into action. The TAS Corp soldiers fired their blasters at her, while the Underground equipped their melee weapons and charged toward her.

Rocket Blade jumped over the Underground and shot Taser Lines at TAS Corp, the webs disabled their guns, allowing her to get into a fist fight with them and punch them all to the ground. She turned back to the Underground and was ready to fight.

The first thug jumped towards her, but Rocket Blade shot a thunderbolt into his face and kicked him to the ground. The next two attacked together, but she was able to strike both of them; she jumped up onto their shoulders and shots some web-lines at their heads, she then pulled their heads together, knocking them both out.

When three of their guys were down, the rest of the Underground didn’t know if they stood a chance against Rocket Blade as the rest of The Crusaders and the Underground backed away as she asked, “You guys want a taste?!”

“No girl, it’s cool.” One of them said as they dropped their weapons and ran away, “It’s cool.” The guy repeated.

"Really 'want a taste'?" Ground Breaker asked."

"Not my best wordplay." Then they noticed something else on the street below them; as she was passing her neighborhood, she could see Rainbow Dash and the others helping the people.

"Hey look it's them!" Derpy saw them as they came down.

"Guys, we need to get out of here!" Harmonic exclaimed. “Alright if you keep moving up this street, you should be at a safe distance from the plaza. Just make sure that you get everyone there.”

Rarity nodded, "You the young lady, people; we go door to door and get to safety, no one gets left behind.”

However, before the crowd could start moving, the TAS Corp soldier got off the car and picked up a blaster; he aimed it at Ground Breaker and said into his comm, “I have eyes on her, commencing execution.” But before he could fire, a green blast stunned him and knocked him unconscious.

Everyone turned to see the Phantom along with Siren Squad walking towards them;

“Come on folks, I’ll lead you to where you can be safe,” Phantom said leading the group.

"Let us handle them!" Aria as she made quick work of them; kicked one of them in the face and knocked him to the ground, she then lifted the other guy over his head and threw him on top of the other. They both made the right choice by choosing to stay down."

"You got more important things to do," Arctic Ace did a cryo blast freezing them.

"Go," Applejack said to them. "We'll handle it."

At TAS Corp Plaza, Alex had super-charged the Nuform earlier today, and now he was plugging it into the machine to destroy it. All that was going through his mind were memories of him and her sister; and how he couldn’t save her life, he didn’t even try to.

But this was his way of avenging her death; by destroying the ones who had started this whole mess in the first place.

"Finally, this will end in a moment," Cyber Knight said before the Crusaders came from behind.

"Alex, stop this would this be what Maya wanted?" Harmonic asked her.

“My sister is gone! And it was my fault; so this is me making up for it and don't need pity from any of you!" Cyber-Knight materialized his gauntlets around his hands, charged towards them, and all three were too late to dodge the attack. The villain punched them into the air, then grabbed all of them by the ankle and slam them back down; once she saw the opening, Cyber-Knight grabbed them by the neck and used his magnet shoes to run up the side of the building.

Both of them smashed through a window to the top floor, Cyber-Knight threw the Crusaders across the room; she then smashed her gauntlets together.

"Alright, since you're not going to listen. We'll do this the hard way," Ground Breaker said.

"We can't let do this," Rocket Bladed added.

"I can't let you stop me."

Cyber-Knight charged forward and smashed his gauntlets into the ground, but they jumped out of the way; once Harmonic saw an opening, she used her Sonic bomb toward the villain making him wince, and began punching and kicking him down. He blocked one of the attacks and punched Harmonic away; she then deactivated her gauntlets and equipped a sword instead.

“Listen to me, Hailey changed the specs; you’re not just going to destroy TAS Corp Plaza, you’ll take out all of Ponyville.” Ground Breaker explained.

“Who fed you those lies? Hailey?! I ran the numbers! She can't change the reactor, she's not that smart!”

"She's smart enough, we need to stop it!"

Ground Breaker dodged the sword attacks and jumped away from Cyber-Knight, she then grabbed a piece of debris and threw it at her; the debris stunned him for a moment, allowing the young hero to jump forward and punch and kick her. Cyber-Knight swung her sword at the hero, knocking her away.

When the opportunity presented itself, Rocket Blade shot a spark of Plasma into Cyber-Knight’s face, she then jumped over him and kicked him away. And after that, she pulled the villain back to him; She punched him up into the air, jumped up after him, and kicked him in the side. He was thrown across the room, he crashed into a pillar and smashed it to bits, but got back up and continued the fight. “How much is she paying you to protect her precious plaza?!”

“I’m not protecting the plaza, I’m trying to save the city.”

However, Harmonic called for her hoverboard and shot two grapple lines to the ceiling, and pushed Tinkerer upwards, spinning around and dropping her on her back.

"We don't have time for this!" Harmonic said. "We shut it down, now!"

"No, I'm not running away never again," Cyber-Knight got up and engaged his gauntlets to attack the trio. "I gave you three every chance to leave.”

The villain knocked all of them into the wall and walked up to them.

"You can't win, so why do keep fighting?"

"Because it's our job!" All three of them shouted knocking him off then the building started to quake.

"Crap! We're too late! The reactor reached critically and blow the place up taking it down with them

...

"Is everyone okay?" Cyber-Knight asked.

"Yeah."

"Me, too."

"I'm okay! But we need to stop it."

"But how do that exactly?"

"We need to drain the reactor completely and we have to do it at once!" Cyber-Knight exclaimed.

"Okay! Hands in! We never tried something like this, but now we got no choice!" Apple Bloom said as they put their hands in.

"I like half-spun ideas!"

"It's time to go out with a bang!"

"It's now or never!"

All of them emit a glow of Equestrian magic, with Apple Bloom being bright yellow, Scootaloo being purple, Sweetie Belle, being white, and Alex showing black. The energy came charge into a spirit ball and the energy was drawn to it!"

"Now!" All of them shouted.

The spirit ball fired at the reactor absorbed all the Nuform out of it and was shot into space. The result of doing result of them doing, caused them to collapse. But not before Cyber-Knight mustered any strength he had to get up.

“I’ll look forward to when we meet again.”

Cyber-Knight left the group, right Rainbow, Rarity, and Applejack saw them lying on the ground without their masks.

"Sweetie Belle," Rarity hugged her. "If you hear, please say something!"

To their relief they all cough a bit.

"Is everyone..." Scootaloo weakly asked.

"We're safe all of us," Rainbow replied. "Nice going."

"Uh, guys we got company," Applejack saw the news van for the Canterlot Weekly, then saw Spitfire, Fleetfoot, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Soarin, Lemon Zest, and Indigo Zap.

"What waiting for you," Spitfire said to them. "Get going, kids, we'll take care of them."

Doing as they were told they put on their mask and left. The reporter came up to Spitfire and hold a microphone to her face.

"Who are they, did you get a look at the faces?"

"Them, they're our Rainbooms."

Four weeks later

The police were bringing Amanda Hailey out to the car, she was in handcuffs and shouting at the officers that had her.

“Oh please, gentlemen; those reports are fake. And can you really trust the words of those heroes,” The police weren’t listening, they just shoved her into the can. But she kept talking, “Do you know who I am; give it two months, I will own you…” the officer shut the door, finally free of her whining.

A report on the radio by Vinyl Scratch was explaining everything that had happened,

“That’s right my friends, Amanda Hailey is in prison; Thomas Ridley AKA the Phantom flipped on her, and TAS Corp. Thomas will serve time but could get a reduced sentence. In my opinion, I think we all learn something from this. Together we're stronger and having your own personal heroes is fricking sweet!

As the city was rebuilding from the crisis, the Mane 7 were watching the city, among them, the Crusaders joined them.

"My word, I still can't get over those suits that Trevor and Tyler made," Rarity exclaimed.

"Gotta be us," Sweetie Belle said. "Can we ask a question?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"Has this job ever gotten easy?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Some of it, yeah, but some things never get easier in the long run," Twilight replied.

"TAS Corp did this uptown because they saw us as disposable," Scootaloo said looking around. "Us, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Alex, Maya, Fleetfoot, Vinyl, everyone in Ponyville. I think part of our job's making they get away with it."

"I add to the Pinkie Promise!" Pinkie exclaimed. "Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!"

Suddenly, police sirens could be heard from down the street; it was a car chase by Fasttrack.

"Go time?" Rainbow asked.

"Go time!" Rocket Blade said and all of the head to the action.
