Although RivalDragon's OC Top Speed is with rainbowdash in his fic, im sad to say that in the world of Thunder Eclipse he shall be an ex from her time in college. If you want a measure of his background i suggest reading some of Rival Dragon's fics, he probably does a better job at it than i would. And im not trying to single you out by not writing a backstory for your OC rivaldragon, its just you've already used him. Any way onto the next part of my double header. The crime boss alicorn, Shifty Underground

The young colt was lying on the ground. He had just recieved the beating of his life from his father. His wings were broken, tangled and bloody at his side. His face was covered in lacerations and hoofprints. He would wait until his father turned his back to get his revenge. All these years of taking beatings would finally be worth it.

"Shifty, you are a huge dissapointment. I take the time to knock up a princess and get custody of the foal, and what do I have to show for it? An alicorn who won't defend himself. A failure in everyone's eyes? Tell me, what do you think you're worth, cuz it can't be much."

"I'm worth ten times what you are. You are the worst pony anyone could have for a dad. I dont even care what you think anymore."

SMACK!

"Now let me tell you something, you better show me the respect I deserve, otherwise, you might wake up in another country one day. Now when you learn some decency you can come bucking home." As he turned around, Shifty pulled out a simple hoofgun that was small enough for even him to use. He fired three shots into his father's back. As the older dark red unicorn fell to the ground, he whispered one last thing.

"So now you grow a spine..."

The once energetic and cruel pony now lay on the ground, his life seeping out of him. Shifty got up and walked down the hallway draggingnhis father's body to a dark tunnel. A pair of ponies in black suits walked up to him.

"We are ready for the transfer of power Mr. Underground. We must be quick though. We only have a short time before we lose him completely."

"Alright.. agh...ow... let's ...ahh.. get it over...with."

They stood in a triangle around the body as the ponies performed dirty magic. They took the power and magic out of their former leader's bodu and gave it to shifty, who instantly began to heal.

"I guess all I needed to be a full alicorn was a little boost."

He laughed maniacally as he set off for his underground office. He had a lot of things to do.

Fast forward seven years.

He now stood as the most powerful crimelord in all of equestria. He needed to prove it to himself though. He had sent for one of the most notorious thieves for hire he could think of, Gambit.

"So, you're the infamous Gambit Roulette? Humph, I expected more. But I guess since you came all this way I might as well use you."

"Now listen here Mr. Underground, I am the best there is. I may not be able to fly or use magic, but that doesn't make me any less qualified. For instance I already took your wallet, gun, communicator, and money." As he said each item's name he placed it on the table. Each item made Shifty's eyes get a little wider.

"Well it seems I underestimated you Gambit. You are the perfect pony for this job. Now listen closely. I'm only going to tell you once. I'm sending you on a covert mission to ponyville to gain information on the upcoming royal wedding. After you've done that, you'll head to Canterlot to infiltrate the wedding and steal the regalia of the bride. Do you understand?"

"I believe I do. Now, will I have an alias set up, and how can I expect to be payed."

"You will need no alias as you've never been heard of before. And your money will be delivered by wire to your account under the name of Poker Chip."

"Good, good, I'll leave right away."

"Farewell Gambit. Good luck. Midnight, could you lead our guest out please."

"Why of course sir, please follow me Gambit." Gambit followed the mare staring at her flank whenever she wasn't looking.

"To ponyville it is..." he said.

"Mother, you will regret not keeping me." Said Underground while no one was around to hear him.
