Several weeks has passed since Dusk Claw attacked the city, It was a crisp night at the industrial plant, and as usual, a bad guy was there to cause trouble.

"I'm here." He said as he was talking on the phone.

Good, proceed with your mission, Temple, and give them a good quake

"Aren't you forgetting something?"

Don't worry, payment in advance and in full.

"Good, let's rock,"

Temple did a thunderclap and caused the building to collapse and then the police show up and armed their pistols.

"Freeze!" One of the cops said.

Temple sends a shockwave right at forcing to dodge it.

"Officers need backup, repeat backup." They radio Clay Morrgntion.

"Don't worry it's on its way," he said.

"Hoo-yah!" Temple exclaimed as Phoenix came down and kick him only for him to deflect it. "Howdy, the name's Temple, what's yours?"

"Phoenix and I don't suppose you not with the wrecking crew!"

"Please, I am the wrecking crew, and what happens to buddies decide to go solo?"

"Nope, she decided to bring someone to the party!" As Sonic came by and did a Spin Attack, Tails kick him.

Temple, I'm waiting, have you completed your mission?

Temple did a seismic blast sending all three of them back, then literally leaped out of there.

"Set up a perimeter," Clay said as the cops surrounded the place. "If Mr. Quake so much as breaths I want someone there to tell me what he had for lunch.

Clay walked further into the plant.

"It's okay to show yourself, neither or your friends on our most wanted list."

"Sorry, a force of habit," Phoenix as she, Sonic, and Tails approached him.

"This is the third building in a week that Temple has taken out and we still can't nail the pattern," Tails said.

"But, we do have the motive, he's working for someone," Sonic said. "I borrow his phone from him. Maybe Cyber Witch can trace it?" He boosted out of there.

"How fast can he go?" Clay asked.

"I'm not sure," Tails simply said.

At the Rainboom hideout, Twilight was hard at working tracing a signal throughout Temple's phone.

"Got anything that will lead us to the source of the messages?" Sonic asked.

"The Rain-Boom Wave's intercepting a live message, " Twilight said.

Temple, I have a new target for you. I want you to destroy the corporate headquarters of Chrologene. Its destruction must be total.

"Whoa, that's isn't good," Sonic said. "We need to get over there quick!"

...

...

Temple had made it to Chlrogene.

"And here I thought earthquake struck without warning," Sonic said as he and Cyber Witch were behind him.

"You two just dialed 'D' for destruction." Temple charged its hands only Cyber Witch to throw a Freeze Sparke Star and freezing them, then he charges right them forcing both to go the other way.

Sonic kept him busy by striking him at high speed, Temple back away only for Cyber Witch to throw an Electro Sparke Star that temporarily shock him.

"Give it, yet?" Cyber Witch asked.

Temple ignored her and then did a seismic blast to the ground that Cyber Witch and Sonic lost their footing, allowing him to escape.

"I hate when jerks used sound as a weapon,' Cyber Witch said.

Very much later...

"The Rainboom Wave traced the messages to their source, Petal Dancer," Tails said looking at the location. "I know that name, Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo, and been hanging around with her."

"I do hope, that the girls are not somehow involved in this," Fluttershy said being concerned for them.

"Same do I. Look like it's picking up another live message."

I have a new target for you, the Chrologene research labs. It's located...

"Yeah, I got it, it's near the corner from me, before we discuss that there seems to be a little problem with the money transfer."

I'm sorry, but didn't you just blow the last job? Listen, Temple, if you're getting instead paid at all, you better get here right here and now...

Petal Dancer cut off the call with Temple. "Damn it, I said here."

"Temple?' Apple Bloom asked.

"Is a friend from homeroom?" Scootaloo added.

"Looks like you caught me red-handed, girls," Petal admitted.

"Did your twigs snap, you hire a thug!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed.

"You'd be surprised what you can find on the internet."

"It's not too late, you have to stop this before someone gets hurt, or worst the cops take you away."

"And here I thought we were peas in a pod then again, I shouldn't trust three do-gooders."

"The way works, boss," Temple said as he came out of the shadows and grabs Petal's computer. "Is when you don't pay... you pay."

Then he smashes it and approaches them.

"Woah, their mister, we don't have to go to brute force," Sweetie Belle said and her voice send him back. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry."

"You going to regret short stuff," Temple said as caused the ground to rumble.

"Hold on, girls, I got this," Scottaloo as she grabs Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom at high speed. "Holy cow I'm fast just like Rainbow Dash!"

"Look out for a wall!" Apple Bloom said as they crash into the wall knocking them out cold.

Inside the lab, Temple slams the ground making the bridge that Petal Dancer was on, fall to the ground.

"Any last words," Temple charged his hands.

"I have some," Rock Roller said then punch from behind that lost his balance.

Temple broke a pillar and caused a steel case of toxic waste to fall on Rock Roller, she used her Strenght and caught it and set it down. Both of them got up close and personal and traded punch after kick.

"Let's see if you dodge this!" Temple said as he straight for Rock Roller only to miss causing the second vat of toxic sludge to fall on unconscious Petal Dancer then Rock Roller knocked him out.

...

"Is she going to be okay?" Apple Bloom asked as she and her friends saw Temple being carried off to police while Petal Dancer was being carried into an ambulance.

"We'll know more after the detox procedure," Rock Roller said then vanish.
