The Crystal Empire (Part 1) in Three Minutes

Con went inside the bar, and found the pony he was looking for.

Con: Are you Rain Bouvier?
Rain: Yeah, what's it 2 ya?
Con: I am Mane. Con Mane, my best friend Fenix Lighter works for the same organization you do, and Sanchez's gang nearly killed him.
Rain: Who do you work for Con? Are you a spy?
Con: Yeah, for the C.I.E.
Rain: Well I think we can work together.
Con: Good.
Dario: *walks in bar*
Rain: Oh damnit!
Con: What is it?
Rain: It's Sanchez's right hand man, Dario.
Con: And he's brought company.
Waitress: Hey there, anything I can get you?
Con: Two beers, that's all.
Waitress: Alrighty, coming...

Forty Wayne Indiana, Fort Wayne International Airport, 3:27 PM

Orion, and Snowflake had to land their helicopter in order to refuel. The landing pad they were putting their helicopter on was next to a runway with flashing lights.

Orion: *Lands helicopter*
Snowflake: I'd say we were both off on what time we'd reach Trenton. We'll most likely get there tomorrow.
Orion: Honestly, I think you're right. Stay here, I'll refuel the chopper. *Gets out of helicopter, and begins to refuel it*
Snowflake: Well, at least we won't have to worry about that snowstorm on Friday. *Turns on radio*
News Pony: We...

Barry, and Aurora found that the door to the roof was locked. They could not get to Lexi while she was making the snow bigger, while making it fall faster.

Barry: *Knocks on door* LEXI, OPEN THE DOOR RIGHT NOW!!!
Aurora: I could try to fly up there.
Barry: I can't let you do that. The snow is too intense.
Aurora: Oh please. They don't call me Northwind for nothing.
Barry: Good luck.
Aurora: *Looks outside, and sees that two feet of snow are on the ground, and the snow is falling in big chunks* On second thought, let's try breaking the door down.
Barry: *Hears an explosion* That's the 30th explosion...

Since the bridge collapsed, and everypony had to evacuate Frenchtown, the police made everypony cross the ice that formed on the Delamare River.

Police Pony 64: *Looks around* I have a feeling we forgot a few ponies.
Police Pony 57: They probably ended up dead.

But they weren't. Saten Twist was with a few ponies inside his restaurant. Neither of them heard the alarm, because Saten Twist was playing loud Rock & Roll songs, and the explosions were too loud. Now there was no music, and Saten Twist was getting annoyed with two ponies in his restaurant.

Eddie: *Sings* Like the wallpaper sticks...

Ten minutes after Metal Gloss left the station, Roger was about to arrive. He did his best to drive the train, but nopony trusted him.

Vandal Pony: He's almost here, get that wooden plank on the tracks now.
Vandal Pony 2: *Puts wooden plank on tracks near station*
Roger: *Applies brakes, then hits wooden plank*

One end of the plank hit the bottom of the platform, and Roger's engine derailed.

Michael: *Runs out of station to see what happened*
Roger: *Walks out of engine*
Vandals: *Runs away*
Nikki: *Walks over to train*
Michael: No more work for you today.
Roger: What's that supposed to mean?
Michael:...

Silver Tune stayed up all night thinking about what Snow Flake said. A tear rolled down her cheek as she listened to music. Music was her only friend.


As Silver Tune closed her locker, Trixie and another popular pony appeared right in front of her. Silver Tune stared at the two ponies for a while.

ST: What do you guys want?
Trixie: What are you doing?
ST: Why do you care?
Trixie: It's almost lunch. I need money.
ST: *raises eyebrow* And?
Trixie: Ehem. *stares at ST's wallet*
ST: *Laughs* Yeah, I don't think so.
Trixie: Give me your money, now!
ST: I don't want to!
Trixie: I'm not asking you if you...
