"Are you okay Mr. Wanderlust? we could use your help with these Hooligans." Maple asks. looking him over a little more closely


Wanderlust groans, and mutters something about guardian angels. A little more coherent for Maple's help, he responds, "Just...gimme a minute. I'm looking for the tag-out option..."


Maple gives him a hoof bump and Jumps back into the fight... taking up a back row position to keep herself between Wander and the enemy


Static grins back at Maple. "What took you so long?" he asks in an obviously not serious, playful manner.


"I don't have to cheat by using counterfeit unicorn magic" Maple huffs back, equally playful and non-seriously

Misty lifts Symphony onto the roof of the boxcar. "Alright! C'mon, we gotta help the others! Let's go!"

Using his momentum to swing himself around, Scarlet saw the gangs if fillies attacking Wanderlust and... Static?

How did...?

Shaking off thoughts for later, Scarlet launched himself into the fray! Cannoning into one of the fillies fighting Static, Scarlet snagged with his lasso and yanked the unfortunate pony of her feet. Sending her slamming into one of the fillies who seemed intent on pummelling Wanderlust into the floor. Then he lept forward to dish out a few choice strikes of his own to the (hopefully) disoriented ponys.

"You think i'll wait my turn while you pummell my friends? You will deal with me now!"


One of the fillies ran up to to Maplejack but then stopped. "D'aww, how adorable! Like...like a foal! Or...like a puppy! Oh, I know, like a..." "Cut the chatter and prioritize! One of them is down and another is adorable, so we can wait for heavy reinforcements on them since they'll be less of an issue. So now it comes down to the simple determination of which of the other two you think we can deal with the easiest." "Don't you think we should maybe deal with the easy targets first? And how will the reinforcements know who to deal with?" "Quit asking so many...alright, anypony got a marker?" A filly drew a big 'X' on Scarlet Spectrum's face. The others then focused on pummeling him. Then, a few more rushed in to the train car and joined the attack!

Spoiler


Finally done feeling sorry for himself, Wanderlust accepts that there is no tag-out option. This is the life he's stuck in. At least there were violent young children for him to vent at. As the fillies rushed away from him to attack Scarlet, he snags one of their legs with one of his own. "You know, I never actually took the Hippocratic oath." he comments to Maple. "There just never seemed like the time. One minute you're treating dragon pox, the next you're delivering a clutch of eggs, and then you're carted off across Celestia only know how many miles, and the next thing you know, you're on a train getting beaten up by teenagers. In this particular instance I'm a little glad that I didn't, honestly." As he talks, he levers himself up on his hind legs, using the other two to flip the filly into two of her comrades like a table. "No matter how far you travel, vows have a tendency of catching up to you."

Spoiler


Static turns his glare to the one who's giving out the orders. "You sure give a lot of orders, don't you? Guess that means you're the leader of this little gang then? Hello, new target! Static would almost feel bad about beating up on a juvenile. But let's face it, they are delinquents and they aren't exactly giving them much of a choice. So he dives in at the leader with reckless abandon.

Scarlet jumped back as one of the fillies lunged at him with a marker.

"What the...!"

Before he could say--or do--anything else, Scarlet was swarmed by the workers, much as Wanderlust has been seconds before. Taking the pounding with growls and gritted teeth, Scarlet decided to play up their attacks and attempt to lull them. Building his strength for a high speed countersttack!

But as the hits kept coming, Scarlets act became, well, less of an act.

Welp. Better me than anypony else.

with another of her friends taking a group beating, maple sneaks into the pack of tiny stompers and starts applying items from her medkit... the worker next to her drops a hoof on him, Maple puts a medicated bandage down on it... During this time Maple jabs one with a wild knee to the solar plexus before the mob breaks up and she has a chance to run back over to Wanderlust and give him another little bit of aid


Misty Monsoon, Symphony, and Night Cap managed to reach the train car with their friends just as they all heard a thunderous sound approaching. Throwing open the train car door was a pink earth pony mare with a pale pink mane with a turquoise streak. She had a tulip tucked behind each ear and with her cutie mark being a tulip surrounded by dizzy stars--the same Rhapsody once found on several business cards--it was immediately apparent that this was none other than Tipsy Tulip! However, there was something else immediately apparent. The train cars were so tall and wide because Tipsy Tulip herself stood at a height eve! n taller than Princess Celestia. Wasting no time, she charged in and body checked Static Signal. She blocked his attack and only his own steely bracing prevented him from being bowled over. Looming over him, she down upon him and said while grinning, "Now now, dearie. It would behoove you to pick on somepony your own size." One of the workers tried to rush in and assist but she disapprovingly said, "What are you doing? Do you not see this beautiful machinery he's carrying? I'll handle this. You, remember that X marks the spot." So the rest continued to focus on Scarlet Spectrum, save for the one struggling to barely escape Wanderlust's grasp.

Static takes a couple steps back as Tipsy Tulip joins the fray...right between Worker 13 and Scarlet. [color=DFDF00]"Oww!"[/colorHe takes a deep breath as he squares off against Tipsy. [color=DFDF00]So, you're Tipsy Tulip: caused a bunch of Cuckarockas to riot on a town presentation in Caballuston, tried to bust into a bank in Petrichor Falls where a very dear friend of mine was thrown off a helicopter..."[/color A wide toothy menacing grin spreads across his face. [color=DFDF00]"Reckon I'm gonna enjoy this!"[/color

"From what I'd heard, I didn't think she'd be such a shrimp." Maple Laughs


Wanderlust tsks at the pony that nearly slithers away. "You're not going anywhere." He informs them gravely.

Scarlet weathered another round of beatings. However, just as he was about to counterattack, he saw the tall form of Tipsy Tulip enter the carriage and focus on Static. That changed his mind.

"So... You're the boss of these ne'er-do-wells, are you? Back off my friends!

Bursting free of the group of Worker ponies, Scarlet at the mare with the flowers in her mane and enveloped her a whirl red and blue spiral of hooves and wings and kicks and pain!


After arriving in the midst of the scuffle, Misty nearly goes crosseyed trying to figure out where to jump in and join the fray.

Spoiler


Symphony looks around at the battle around her as she tries to figure out what to do. She takes a breath and starts to concentrate her magical aura around her, as her power grows lightning strikes out against her foes.

Spoiler


As the workers continued to assault Scarlet Spectrum, Tipsy Tulip almost charmingly replied to Static Signal with, "You seem to be mistaking things ponies have done with my inventions with things I have done. If anything, stealing money sounds utterly uninteresting. I do wonder just what the results were with the cucarockas, though. Or perhaps what the machine on your back does. I mean, I've figured out the hull structure already but..." She was then interrupted by the attacks of Scarlet Spectrum and Symphony. Frowning, she said, "Hold that thought." She then strongly backhoofed Scarlet Spectrum across the room.

Maplejack realized that she hadn't been to this area before and she thought that she saw a bridge up ahead going across a large ravine and perhaps something approaching from the sky. However, this was interrupted by Scarlet Spectrum colliding into her and the inertia causing her to crash into Night Cap. Tipsy Tulip then charged Symphony, stopping just in front of her. Calmly placing a hoof over the tip of Symphony's horn, she scoldingly said,
"Watch where you point that thing. You just might hurt somepony."

Symphony blinks and glares slightly as she feels a slight numbness in her horn. "Heh... Y-You really think you're so big and bad?" She asks with a slight giggle. "You're nothing..." She giggles again. "L-Last time I faced... faced a mare made of lava. Now that... that was scary... You? You're just a pompous jerk that needs to be knocked down a peg or two. And if there's one thing that... that my family is good at... its knocking!" She says with another giggle and a soft grin. It was rare that she felt confident, but after her power up she certainly felt empowered and already knew what she was going to do this ego trip on four legs.

She closes her eyes as her horn glows. "Really... y-you should be the one watching where she points something... B-Because I'm sure this is still gonna hurt you m-more then me..." She says as she shoots off a powerful blast of fire from her horn, while Tipsy is standing right in front of her. Symphony huffs for a moment, looking like that attack drained her but after a moment she focuses her magic once again and looks revitalized. "And I... I can keep knocking for... for as long as it takes!"

Spoiler


Static intercepted the backhoof intended for Scarlet. "Eyes right here, mule!" Then Symphony lands her attack. "Makes it easier for her to do that," he says with a grin. "You're doing your sister proud, Sym! Keep it up!" He then returned his attention to Tipsy. "What happened with the cuckarockas I'm sure is a matter of public record. I don't think I'll tell you though, just because you want me to. As for my equipment, you can have it over my cold dead body!"

Electricity starts to crawl over Static's body. He's getting more and more pumped the angrier he gets. And Tipsy is making him really angry. Maples taunt to Tipsy helped him focus that energy into one single punch, which he was more than happy to deliver straight to Tipsy's smug little face!

Maple groans after the collision, fortunately, the close contact -surprising though it was, allows her the chance to dispense some good feelings back into her teammates. "Ouchy, that's not the most fun way to get back into a fight... I think there's a bridge up ahead of us." Maple adds the last bit shaking a tiny bit of concussed-ness out of her mind.


"Here I coooooome...!"

A blue blur launches itself into the remaining worker fillies, bopping noses, feather-poking eyes, tripping hooves, and generally causing an unruly ruckus. "Ha-hah! That'll teach you to mess with my teammates!"

Spoiler


Having successfully defeated a single grunt, Wanderlust looks up to see Symphony blasting Tipsy Tulip, and monologuing besides. He feels...strangely proud.

As Night Cap sails past him, he's also highly appreciative of Tipsy's technique. He charges forward, planting his shoulder into on of her goons and launching them into Tipsy like a projectile.
