- Be Norman
- City rooftops
- >Running through the rooftops with Lyra.
- >On a race against time to find Rainbow's classmate Derpy.
- >She's being hunted by the army under suspicion of holding Vinyl's necklace.
- >And we're out of leagues on where she may be.
- >"Goddammit, Norman. This is your fault. If you hadn't taken away the necklace..."
- "...You'd be found out by Octavia, friendship strained and the scientists would be one step closer to getting our artifacts."
- >Lyra fell silent.
- >You jump through buildings. Civilians take a bit of notice.
- >"Did you even BOTHER to call Derpy?"
- "Can't. Rainbow said she lost her cellphone from last week."
- >"Oh for Faust's sake...GRAAAAAH"
- "Lyra?"
- >She's having another vision. I just hope it's about Derpy.
- >Her vision ended.
- "You alright?"
- >"I'm fine. Just another irrelevant vision."
- >You reassure her that you will find her before the scientists, or the army does.
- >She silently cusses at the world.
- >5 minutes later, you arrive near Derpy's home. You stand on a nearby rooftop since Lyra needs to catch a breath.
- >"You think she's here?"
- "I'm checking."
- >With the power of the ring, you zoom in with your eyes. Your eyeballs pop out as your pupils shrink.
- >"...that...that's disgusting."
- "Hey, at least I can make kids at the hospital laugh."
- >"You're not using that to peek at the girl's shower rooms, right?"
- "Stop giving me ideas. I'm not that desperate."
- >"Whatever. Did you find her yet?"
- >Suddenly, a foreign voice from below.
- >"EXCUSE ME!"
- "WHOA, JEEZ!"
- >It's Derpy's neighbor. Carrot Top.
- >She's a senior who's graduating this year.
- >"Hey Carrot Top!" Lyra says.
- >"What are you doing here, and how did you know my name?" she asked in anger.
- "Listen Ms. Top, we're looking for Derpy. It's a matter of life and death!"
- >"To him, because if he doesn't find her, I will strangle him till his eyeballs pop out again."
- >She looks at us with suspicious eyes.
- >"Do you take me a fool to trust you masked strangers? I'm not helping!"
- "Look, miss. We-"
- >Before you can persuade her, Lyra blackmails her with certain knowledge.
- >"Look, Top. If you don't give us a clue on WHERE she is, a certain photo of someone will get out."
- >"W-what photo?"
- >Lyra takes a photo from her bag and shows it to Carrot Top.
- "Whoa..."
- >It's a picture of Carrot Top using a carrot to [spoiler]pop dat cherry top[/spoiler]
- "Hey, what the hell?!" you yell at her.
- >"Let's exchange information, Top."
- >"W-where did you get that?"
- >"Let's say I knew a guy who knows a guy...who knows another guy who knew the janitor who had access to Canterlot High's archived cameras.
- >Lyra taunts her with the photo. Your white knight instincts made you grab it from her.
- >"Hey, what gives?"
- "We are NOT blackmailing a teenager!"
- >"WELL YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE LOST IT THAT DAY!"
- "YOUR OBSESSION WITH THAT ARTIFACT IS MAKING YOU CRAPIER TO BE WITH!"
- >You hand the photo to Carrot Top. She thanks you dearly.
- >"Oh well GREAT. NOW how will we find the blonde klutz?"
- "We'll find her. Just not like this."
- >"Excuse me?" Carrot Top interrupts.
- >"Just tell me, WHY you need to find my neighbor?"
- "We need to find her before the army does."
- >"What!?"
- "Long story short, she accidentally has something that the army and a league of scientists wants."
- >"If she gets captured by the army, she forfiets her house, and you'll be under suspicion as well" Lyra adds.
- "Please, just help us on this, miss Top." you plead.
- >"A-alright, alright! She...uhh, said she wanted to go to the baker's convention up at Pear street!"
- "Where?"
- >"It's in the Buttermilk convention building! That's all I know!"
- "Alright, we greatly appreciate your help, Miss Top.
- >Before you could leave, Carrot Top whistles to Lyra.
- >"What?"
- >"Have we met?" Carrot asked
- >Lyra proceeds to flip her off and jumps to the next building.
- >You apologize to Carrot for her behavior.
- "I'm sorry. She's just on the edge lately."
- >"Just get away from my house..."
- "Y-yeah, again, sorry!"
- >10 minutes later you and Lyra arrive on top of a building near the Buttermilk convention building
- "Lyra, may I ask WHY you have a photo of Carrot jerking off with a carrot?"
- >"I used to work for the school newspaper. I know all the secrets of stalking my victims.
- "Wow..."
- >"Relax, I don't have some dirt on you...so far"
- "sigh"
- >"Alright, how do we do this?"
- "Here's the plan. You go in as a civillian and find Derpy."
- >"I'm already in my civvies, Norman."
- "You really need to get a costume."
- >"Look you autistic prick, I'm not in this for the superheroing bullshit, I'm here to get what was wrongfully stolen by me!"
- "...which was rightfully stolen by Brad to which you got it from him.."
- >"OH WILL YOU SHUT UP?"
- >She puts on her sweater to cover up her jacket and comes down from the building with your help.
- "Don't forget to look out for any military or the white jacket bozos!"
- >"You too."
- >You climb up again as Lyra enters the building.
- >Operation Wall-Eye is a go!
- Split Segment 7:30-7:50
- Be Derpy
- Baker's convention
- >WOW, LOOK AT ALL THESE PASTRIES.
- >You spend your time looking at cooking tools and cakes.
- >All these muffins, cakes and waffles. You're in heaven
- >"Free taste, madame?"
- >The merchants offer you a free taste of their delicious mooncake
- "Thank you sir!"
- >You chow down on the round delicious pastry. The crust of it is crispy. Cooked to perfection.
- >Your tongue gets a taste of it's fillings. It's sweet crumby texture pleases your tastebuds.
- >As you enjoy your treat, a familiar face greets you with a smile.
- "Hi-ya Derpy!"
- >It's Pinka Pie! One of the best bakers in the school.
- "Pinkie! Are you a baker here too?"
- >"No, silly! I'm here as a customer!"
- >You notice her plastic bags filled with ingredients and cooking supplies.
- "Wow, Pinka, you must be baking a feast for the gods!"
- >"Oh, you. Say, you think you and your friend want to go to the chocolate fountain?"
- "Oh boy!...wait what friend?"
- >"Isn't that guy with you?"
- >You turn around to see a man in a shady fedora wearing a trench coat. He instantly turns away as soon as Pinkie noticed him.
- "He's not with me Pinka"
- >"Oh, well then I must be mistaken then!"
- >You then follow Pinka through the crowd.
- >You look back for a moment to confirm your suspicions.
- >The man is still following you, but he seems to be keeping his distance.
- >Then suddenly, right before your eyes, a huge chocolate fountain!
- >It's aroma stuffs your nose with it's brown, sweet scent.
- >It's glorious oozing chocolate mixed with milk.
- "Aww, Pinka, are we in heaven?"
- >"No, silly! We're in purgatory! We can't even dip our fingers in that without paying for the 250 dollar dipping fee!"
- "Two hundred and fifty dollars!?"
- >You look down, disappointed.
- >Suddenly, an explosion from the other room!
- *BOOOOOOOOOM*
- "WHOA!"
- >The explosion causes a panic amongst the masses. People scattered all over the area!
- >"What's going on?" Pinka said
- "Come on, the exit's this way!"
- >You grab Pinka's hand but you're grabbed by the neck and mouth by the trench coat guy
- "MPPPH!"
- >"HEY! LEAVE MY FRIEND ALONE!" Pinka said, stomping on the guy's boots.
- >The trench coat guy runs, carrying you. Pinka runs after the guy.
- >You hear the man speaking to his watch.
- >"This is Agent Potsandpans. I got the girl!"
- >What's going on!?
- >Before the man could carry you any further, he's attacked by an arrow from his side.
- >"AHK!"
- >He stumbles down and lets go of you.
- >You crawl away from him but he grabs your foot as his other hand holds the arrow stuck to his arm.
- >"Hey asshole!" a voice from nearby.
- >A green hooded girl comes in and kicks the man in the face.
- "Ahh, thank you!"
- >Pinka comes in and says "WOW, THE ARCHER GIRL ON TV! CAN I GET YOUR AUTOGRAPH!"
- >The hooded girl does not listen, and picks up the man's earpiece.
- >After she listens, she drops it and says "Oh no..."
- "What's happening?"
- >"They're here."
- >A band of armed men swarms the place from a distance incapacitating the guards.
- >The hooded girl grabs you by the arm and hides by the a long table. Pinka follows through.
- >The armed men intimidates several of the civillians, as they yell;
- >"THIS IS A ROBBERY.

- Baker's convention
- >So...this is what /ck/'s house would look like.
- >Good lord, the smell here is heavenly.
- >Freshly baked deserts and pastries all around.
- >But this isn't the time to get your fill.
- >You paid 5 bucks to get in, and you're going to find that cross-eyed klutz whatever the cost.
- >...
- >But that free cake slice looks...oh dear.
- >The cake pulls you in, and you undulgde on your cravings.
- >It's a chocolate moose cake, free as a test-taste from the merchant.
- >You put the cake in your mouth. It's creamy chocolate melts on your tongue.
- >The white vanilla whip cream scatters through your lips.
- >The chocolate cake layer satisfies you greatly. Oh gods, this is holy.
- >You look at your watch to see what time it is.
- >You wasted 5 minutes.
- >Dropping the paper plate to the trash, you proceed with your search to find Derpy.
- >As you look around, you find a tall man in a trench coat blocking your view from the distance.
- >In front of him is Derpy with Pinkie.
- >At long last, your search is over, but something's wrong.
- >The shady trenchcoat guy is following Derpy, or atleast looks like he's following her.
- >Need to watch her back for this.
- >They go to the area with the chocolate fountain.
- >Lauren Faust, it's HUGE!
- >I'd love to take a dip in that gluttonous fountain.
- *BOOOOOOOOOM*
- >WHAT THE BARBEQUE!?
- >The entrance just blew up!
- >Debris falls down from the ceiling near it.
- >Shit, something's wrong.
- >You slip under the table and took off your sweater, put it in the bag and took out your lyre.
- >You rise up and put on your hoodie, and in an insane way, your lyre converts to your signature bow.
- >Alright, where's Derpy?
- >The trenchcoat guy's stealing Derpy away.
- "I'll be damned if that's Brad."
- >You run torwards them, step on a table and jump-shot the trenchcoat man on the arm with your bow.
- >"AHK!" said the man
- >He drops to the ground. Derpy tries to crawl away but he grabs her leg
- >Oh no you don't.
- "HEY ASSHOLE!"
- >With a swift kick, you knock the man out, and you took out his tooth.
- >You then look at Derpy, to which she proceeds to thank you as she gets on her feet.
- >"WOW, THE ARCHER GIRL ON TV! CAN I GET YOUR AUTOGRAPH!" Pinkie says
- >You ignore her to check if you know the guy.
- >...
- >Oh good it's not Brad. You take his earpiece and put it on your ear.
- >>AGENT POTSANDPANS, ARE YOU THERE, OVER?
- >>...
- >>DAMMIT, WE LOST HIM. BRING IN PLAN B.
- >Plan B?
- >>SEND IN THE MERCS WE HIRED!
- "Oh no"
- >The whole thing is a setup. The real prize is Derpy and what she's carrying.
- >"What's happening?" she asked
- "They're here" you said.
- >A band of armed men swarms the place from a distance incapacitating the guards.
- >You grab Derpy and hid by the table. Pinkie follows through.
- >The armed men intimidates several of the civillians, as they yell;
- >"THIS IS A ROBBERY.
- >Robbery my ass...
- Split Segment 7:30-PRESENT TIME
- Be Norman
- Building rooftop
- >Alright, time to scout ahead for outside trouble.
- >You look through the city streets. You see some suspiciously parked vans in a straight line.
- >Well they're either police for a drug bust or they're vans for the merchants in the convention.
- >But if they were, why aren't they parked in the parking lot?
- >Before you can trot along with your suspicions, you recieve a call from Aryan Beauty.
- *beep*"HEY...Aryan?"
- >"Norman! I'm been worried sick! Your parents said you haven't gone home yet, you aren't with Rainbow, Applejack, Pinkie, Twilight or Fluttershy!"
- >Aww, she's worried about me.
- >...
- >This is a bad thing for your alter-ego.
- >CRAP!
- "I'm fine, Aryan! I'm just...err... hanging out with my good pal Lyra."
- >"SHE SAYS SHE HATES YOU" says a distant voice from Aryan's location.
- "Hey, who else is there?"
- >"It's Octavia, and she's a bit drunk."
- >"I AM NOT DRUNNNKGGSSHZZ"
- >"Forgive her, she just lost Vinyl to the hospital, and Lyra to you."
- "Oh..."
- >"Norman, when Rainbow talked to you, you looked worried. If there's something going on, please, you have to tell me."
- >You would love to tell her, but you can't.
- >The more people would know of your costumed self, the more likely the info will pass around and catch on to the scientists and the army.
- "I...I'm sorry Aryan. I...I just can't."
- >"...this is about Lyra isn't it?"
- >Well, it's about you, Lyra and Brad, but he's not really holding an artifact.
- >"Aryan, I...-"
- *BOOOOOOOOOM*
- "WHAT THE HELL!?"
- >"Norman? NORMAN!? What's going on?"
- "I have to go!"
- >You close your cellphone and jumped to the convention's rooftop to get a closer look.
- >"THIS IS A ROBBERY" you hear.
- >SHIT!
- >You check by the windows. Lyra's handling the Derpy situation.
- >Looks like Ponka's in this mess as well.
- >You ran by the side of the building. You see the black vans you suspected.
- >More robbers coming out of it. I can see...20 armed men!
- >What's going on?
- >Phone rings. It's Lyra.
- "LYRA!"
- >"Norman!" she whispered. "It's all a ruse. They're not here to rob the place, they're here for Derpy!"
- "Did you get the necklace from her yet?"
- >"I don't even know where it is on her, and even if I did, I need my powers more than ever now."
- "Alright, just hang tight, I'm almost there!"
- >"Okay, I...AAARRGHH"
- "Lyra? LYRA!"
- >...
- "DAMMIT!"
- >You check by the windows again. The guys found where Derpy, Pinkie and Lyra are hiding.
- >Alright, LETS DO THIS!
- >You jump from the building all the way to their vans.
- >You crush one of their vans. They saw you.
- >SHIT.
- >You rip off the car door and used it as a shield.
- >"HOSTILE! OPEN FIRE!"
- *BANG BANG BANG*
- >Too much gunfire!
- >You rip off another car door and threw it right at them.
- >The door ricochets and hits 4 guys.
- >Bradica...crap now Brad's got you doing it.
- >You then charge through the debris with your cardoor shield.
- >"OH SHIT, RUN!"
- >You managed to incapacitate 3 other guys in your line of charging.
- >You look by your right to see a few other civilians. They praise you as they make their escape.
- >By the distance, you see the three girls. Pinkie's getting grabbed!
- "Not on my non-existing watch!"
- >You throw the cardoor onto the two guys near the girls.
- *BONK*
- >Derpy looks in awe as Pinkie smiles with glee.
- >You hear helicopter noise from above.
- >Is it the SWAT team?
- >A group of armored men crash through the windows using the ropes attatched to the helicopter
- >"AAHH, HEEELLP!"
- >Pinkie's grabbed by one of the men and moved on outside.
- >DAMMIT!
- >There's still two girls you need to rescue. Lyra's incapacitated by her visions.
- >"FREEZE, VIGILANTE!"
- >You hear a carbine cock from behind you. [spoiler]no, not that sexual cock[/spoiler]
- >Damn. You lost Pinkie, and you may as well have lost the ring.
- *phowp*
- >"ARRGH!"
- >The guy behind you got hit by an arrow...fired by Derpy!
- >You give her the thumbs up, to which she smiles as she puts the bow back to Lyra's bag.
- >You look around. More people pointing their guns right at you.
- >You don't know if they're SWAT, army or robbers anymore.
- "Time to bail!"
- >You grab Lyra and Derpy by their waists
- >"Whoa!" Derpy said.
- "Hang on!"
- >You then walked on the wall for a few steps and grabbed the rope connected to the helicopters.
- >At that exact moment, the helicopter flies away, leaving you hanging by with two ladies.
- >"haha, wheeee!" Derpy said. She's so adorable.
- >Lyra wakes up.
- >"AAHH!"
- >You then let go of the rope and land on the rooftop.
- >"Oh my god, that was the best bakers convention EVER!" yelled Derpy.
- >"Ugh...what happenned?"Lyra asked
- "You got a vision and went stunned."
- >Her hood is off.
- >"Oh wow, LYRA!?"
- >Damn, her secret is out.
- >"Lyra, you're the Chronos?"
- >Chronos?
- "Hey, you didn't tell me you made a superhero name for yourself"
- >"It was an alias, you doofus, for Vinyl*."
- [spoiler]As seen in issue #17 -Dan[/spoiler]
- >"I don't even know how that name got out."
- >She then proceeds to take your mask off.
- "H-HEY!"
- >You took it back and wore it, but it was too late. Derpy recognized you.
- >"AND YOU! YOU'RE NORMAN!"
- "Dammit, Lyra!"
- >"Now we're a bit even, no?"
- >"Rainbow's talks about you alot! No wonder! You're the coolest guy I know after saving us!" Derpy cheerfully says.
- "Listen, Derpy. YOU CAN'T TELL ANYONE about this! If the secret is out..."
- >"Don't worry Norman! I'm an avid comicbook fan myself. I know the risks" She said with a smile.
- "Oh, good."
- >..."Where's Pinkie Pie?"Lyra asked
- "Oh yeah...OH NO!"
- >"What?"
- "She got abducted by the robbers!"
- >"...well that's your problem now."
- >She turns to Derpy and asks her to bend over.
- >"W-what!?"
- >"Look, you have a necklace somewhere with you."
- >She then checked her pockets. Nothing. She checked her butt. Nothing. Her chest, nothing.
- >"WHAT? WHERE THE HELL IS IT!?"
- "Lyra..."
- >"WHAT?"
- "I think I know where."
- >"WHERE?"
- "Pinkie Pie."
- End of Chapter 19.
