Mitsu Mirage     It's getting to the late afternoon, the sun is setting and the small little shack on the outskirts of Canterlot has a set of lights on, possibly from a dust cartridge being set on fire. Inside that cottage, there's some hammering and fist pounding and lots of cursing and beeping from something and someone inside. "Damnit, Kratzenfaust, I've tried everything under the sun and can't get the crystals to respond." she angrily yells at the crystals, as if it was supposed to do something.

    <Unfortunately, I am not able to provide assistance. My knowledge on these crystals is nil.> this response from Kratzenfaust gives an angry look to the 'rabbit-mage's face. "Fine... I'll just take these back to Concord HQ, I'm pretty sure they have things to do with it." Her eyes look over the pilfered armor... "On second thought, lemme try something." She looks at the armor curiously, gives a faint shrug... and moves to don the gaudy peice. "Let's try this..."
Princess Luna      The news that the newest Equestria recently had a high profile heist take place during a technology expo has no doubt spread by now. In the streets ponies are still talking about it every now and then. The troublesome mage known as Mitsu Mirage made off with several magic crystals. If asked, they would readily tell visitors that those crystals power all of the technology the ponies use. They would then be directed toward Canterlot Castle, where after completing the moonrise Luna is gathering a few guards and any willing to help for an excursion to find the missing crystals.

     Crystal Corona is also here, a unicorn pony with fur that is crystal pink in color and a mane and tail that have several different streaks of colors often associated with gems. Ruby, sapphire, quartz, topaz, to be precise. She is mostly coming along to ensure the crystals have not destabilized. Once all those helping Luna are gathered, they head out. Crystal tracks the crystals to the very shack that Mitsu is currently inside of.

     Luna approaches the door, then looks to the others. "Alright...I shall surround the shack with a magic shield to block her escape. Please try to use minimal force, but if she attacks thou art all entitled to defend thyselves. I doubt she is expecting us, so perhaps she shall surrender without a fight."

     Princess Luna's horn glows and a shimmering pale blue shield forms around the shack, then she produces her magical scythe before she steps back. In her Royal Canterlot Voice she bellows, "Mitsue Mirage! Thou art surrounded! Surrender thyself now, and perhaps thou shalt earn some leniency!"
Rarity Rarity was here for the theft, and as an artist and businessmare she knows how it feels to have someone try to steal or misuse your work. So it's between sympathy for Crystal Corona and worry what a wayward mage could do with the energy storing crystals that she is here.

As Luna prepares an anti-escape shield the unicorn nods, then closes her eyes and concentrates. In a flicker of magic the Element of Generousity appears around her neck, and her form is briefly sillouetted by the glowing energy as it consolidates into her Harmony Knight guise. Just to be on the safe side.
All-Seeing Eye All-Seeing Eye arrives first via warpgate, and after a brief bit of information-gathering on the streets, he unfolds his hoverbike and rides it up the cobblestone paths to the castle. Of course, he's sure to observe speed limits where posted and respect right-of-way! Any self-respecting Paladin would.

     Princess Luna will find a human-looking sort among those willing to help. Tall, slender, and with taupe brown skin, he offers a formal bow which sees his long raven hair dipping to the ground with him. He wears today a sleek, black, double-breasted longcoat, open enough to reveal a polychromatic cotton tee and sleek grey slacks beneath. He accompanies her retinue to the shack, nodding with a coy smile.

     Minimal force? Oh, bother... "Very well!" He offers a chipper response, his vision attempting to pierce the walls of the shack. Meanwhile, he activates the miniaturized Essence cannons in his eyes, setting them to nonlethal force. If there's no exotic materials or other anti-scrying fields set up, he'll try and relay the mischievous mage's wherabouts within the shack to the others.
Mitsu Mirage     Getting comfortable in that armor, trying to make it at least fit somewhat properly... "God damn chest." she mutters, only to hold onto something as the world seems to shake around her, "What the hell? An earthquake?" Kratzenfaust warning chimes loudly, <Warning! Magical Barrier is forming.> MItsu gets this 'I'm done with this shit' look upon her face at this and she sighs. "Luna." <Pardon?> "That pastel colored, scythe wielding, 'this isn't magic you idiot' ponylike thing." <Master, could you be...> "NO!"

    Mitsu punches the door open and stalks out of the house, Kratzenfaust in a new mode now, the Wild Shooter form. She aims, and grins, "Look, I'm not here to play with you. I'll come back for that scythe later!" a pause, wait, there's two more with her... and possibly a bunch of Canterlot guards. "Well... shit." it's high tide she books it, running /away/ from the group, only to bash right into the barrier, falling on her ass. "Ow!"

    Picking herself up, she aims at the barrier, the twin cannons on her arm light up with a huge ball of energy. "Now, how to get out of here... Let's try this... BREAKER BEAM!" as soon as that last word was uttered, twin laser blasts, concentrated on a single point, fire from those gauntlet guns, trying to break through that shield barrier.
Princess Luna      Princess Luna offers each of her helpers a smile of thanks as they wait for Mitsu to show herself. They do not have to wait long...

     "I keep informing thee! This scythe has no special magical powers except the ability to serve as a lyre!" Luna says to Mitsu before Mitsu makes a break for it. Luna can't help but smirk and let out a smug little 'hmph' as Mitsu bounces off the shield. The Breaker Beam though...that causes some damage! The shield fractures badly and so does the beam, bouncing about the shield like lasers in a room of mirrors. "Look out!" Luna exclaims, barely avoiding getting hit herself. After the shack is looking like it is made of swish cheese and the shield is on the verge of collapse, Luna moves in. She isn't carrying her scythe yet, as she doesn't really -want- to hurt Mitsu. "Surrender, or we shalt be forced to use extreme measures!" she exclaims.

     Crystal Corona doesn't have much in the way of special powers, but when she sees that Mitsu is wearing her special armor, Crystal gasps. "Hey! Take that off this instant! You are disgracing everything I value simply by wearing that, you petty thief!"
Rarity "Oh my!" Rarity's horn glows briefly and several crystals burst from the ground, forming a protective barrier in front of herself and Crystal Corona. Though while sheilding the two unicorns it might not help with the lasers bouncing, so she pulls up several more and scatters them to intercept the beams, trying to redirect them to bouncing amongst the crystals and not hitting somepony important until they finally fizzle out their power.

"Stealing someone else's style is totally uncouth!" is the fashionista's addition to the sentiment.
All-Seeing Eye As Mitsu bursts free of the house, Eye's brow raises in surprise. Where does she think she's going? With both hands clasped behind his back, he slowly turns and watches her bounce off of the shield.

UNKNOWN ENERGY BUILDUP DETECTED

     What's this she's doing with these weapons? Ah. How crude. They're a primitive form of Essence cannon, it would seem! With a flick of his wrist, a steel cable snaps free from the inside of his sleeve. A crackle of purple electricity travels down the whip, swatting the laser away from him. He smiles smugly at this, until the ricochet off the barrier nearly sends the beam right into his stomach. A timely assist from Rarity, however, sees it redirected away once again.

     "Agreed," says the Exalt, flipping his hair over his shoulder contemptuously. Luna is the ranking authority here, so he'll follow her lead... as much as he'd like to cut loose. "If I were you, I'd take Her Majesty's mercy while it's still on the table~!"
Mitsu Mirage     The Breaker Beam fractures that shield... but with the shield bouncing it like a mirror everywhere, Mitsu herself shows why she's called the Rabbit of the TSAB... by bouncing everywhere to avoid the lasers! "Woah, hey, no, stop, ENOUGH OF THE BOUNCING DAMNIT!" she shouts, panting hard with the movements, looking at the fracture in the shield. "Mercy? She tried to kill me last time." she comments, a grin upon the face of the rabbit. She turns to the group, giving a light shrug as she points one cannon to the fracture.

    She turns to Crystal Corona then to Rarity, "Eh, the armor's gaudy, but hey, it'll serve its purpose soon enough." she nods, then she turns to the Exalt, "Look, I don't know who you are, but I kinda like that steel cable whip. Looks nice. And with electricity? My favorite. We should trade ideas sometime... at least, not until I'm done here, y'know. I mean, you're helping them so, our relationship may be strained."

    There's a turn to the barrier. "Breaker Blaster." A high powered shot erupts from the cannon... and the nice shattering of the shield is heard... and off the rabbit goes. "Follow me if you dare!" followed by rapid firing of her other cannon towards the group!
Princess Luna      Crystal Corona has to duck behind the crystal barrier that Rarity provides, and when the beams finally stop she peeks over them before smiling to Rarity. "Thank you!"

     Luna was not quite as lucky. She was hit by one of the beams and smashed into her own barrier. She slides down, then mmphs as she lands on all fours. "...I..only attacked thee after thou hadst hit me several times with lightning attacks!" she exclaims as she rises up. She can't form another shield yet, so she spreads her wings and takes off after Mitsu as the shield shatters. "Do not let her escape!" Luna and Crystal shout at the same time. Crystal isn't sure what she can do to help, but she still takes off after Mitsu as fast as she can.

     But, Crystal only makes it a few steps before she stops by All-Seeing Eye. "This might not be the time, but...do you also use magitech? Weapons are not my thing, but the craftsmanship seemed high quality." Seems the inventor and engineer always has time to learn about new tools.
Rarity Rarity lets out an exasperated sigh as Mitsu takes off. "Why do they always run? Chase scenes are -so- droll." Despite her complaining, the unicorn sucks it up and takes off to follow after the rabbit mage. While doing so she summons Crystal Stitcher, and fires off a few quick shots at the fleeing bunny with the magical bow... Though she's firing crystal arrows with blunted ends, wanting more to delay the thief than actually hurt her as Luna requested.
All-Seeing Eye The Exalt gives the princess a side-eye to rule all side-eyes. Tried to kill the mage, did she? Ah... in self-defense. Still!

     Mitsu breaks the shield, which is exactly what he was hoping she'd do. "You'll have the chance to see much more of it now, darling!" Another whip extrudes from the opposite sleeve. The two whips are then whirled, each one spinning so quickly that they form two translucent, grey discs in front of Eye. Electricity surges through each, and the mage's attacks are deflected off of them.

     Behind him, he can see Crystal Corona, and her question causes him to chuckle as Breaker Blasts bounce off of his improvised target shields. Though the Princess has asked him to give chase, he's never too busy to indulge an adoring fan. "Nonsense," he says, as Rarity gives chase and harries the mage with her bow. "I always have time for admirers~ I am All-Seeing Eye, Chosen of the Machine God," proudly announces the Exalt as he brings a whip overhead to block an errant shot. "One might say I /am/ 'magitech.'" One of Mitsu's shots strikes the ground nearby, sending up a plume of powdered cobblestone and debris.

     A put=upon sigh escapes his full lips, and in response, a few bursts of purple lightning streak from his eyes in pursuit of Mitsu... or rather, ahead of her! They strike a cart of bananas, upending it slightly ahead of her path.
Mitsu Mirage     Heh, Mitsu moves fast, grin upon her face as she turns her face forward to make sure she doesn't run into something. Which is probably a good thing as the cart of banana's that was near is turned over... Unfortunately for Mitsu, she trips right over it, taking a blast from lightning from the All-Seeing Eye, the mage starts tumbling to and fro, only to hop up and start running again... at least, until that arrow of Rarity's smacks right into that armor.

    There's a loud crack, the mage slows down and blinks, tilting her head, "Eh?" the crack comes again and she frowns, "Well.. sh..." there's a reaction on that armor as the rest of the crystals start to shatter and soon, something that would make Crystal Corona faint...

    EXPLOSION!

    All the crystals upon the mage explode: The fire dust crystals she carried for her gunblade... the magic crystals she stole and the crystals on her stolen armor soon go up in a magical fireball... with a Mitsu comically running around on fire. "AUGH DAMNIT HEY OW OW OW!" she drops and rolls to put the fire out and grumbles... "Ow ow ow ow... I'm going to need some healing after this..."
Rarity Rarity skids to a stop. "Oh my... Oh dear..." She back pedals a few steps... and then turns right around, scrabbling for cover as the cracks grow and the armor explodes due to what else Mitsu was carrying. "I'M SO SORRY I WAS ONLY TRYING TO STOP HER NOT DESTROY YOUR HARD WORRRRRRK!" she practicaly whails to Crystal Corona in a high pitch that could almost give the Royal Canterlot Voice a challenge.
Princess Luna      Luna is just about to add her beam to the fray when things go a bit badly for Mitsu. Explosions! The armor Mitsu had stolen is left in ruins, and all the stolen crystals are destroyed! The explosions are enough to obliterate the cart and blow the windows out of nearby buildings and sends nearby ponies running! Between the cart and the explosion and the fire, it seems Mitsu will be easy to catch! Luna flies toward her and the guards move in, ready to make the arrest when Luna realizes...something seems off.

     As the smoke and flames start to die down, it seems the magic within the crystals and the magic and energy of the various attacks has caused a reaction! The magic suddenly released has infused Mitsu, and...when she comes back into view...she's been turned into a pony! Luna's kind, not Rarity's. Her coloration is the same as her skin and hair color from before, but her mane and tail are decidedly more poofy and long! And she even has an appropriate cutie mark! Princess Luna lands, staring in bewilderment. The guards are also staring. "...Mitsu?" Luna asks uncertainly, though there seems to be no way it could be anyone else. Luna shakes her head, then motions to Mitsu-pony. "Cuff her." The guards move in.

     Crystal Corona blinks in amazement as All-Seeing Eye claims he is entirely magitech, but further discussion is interrupted when...her armor and crystals! They were all destroyed! Crystal seems oddly okay with this, as she can always make more and it means that Mitsu has none. She just smiles to Rarity and gives her a pat on the back. "Do not worry about it, Miss Rarity. Destruction is not as bad as it seems. Although it will take a while to make more armor like that, it was mostly decorative anyway."
All-Seeing Eye Another job well done! The Exalt is all smiles as his whips stop spinning and snake their way back into his sleeves. His irises slide back over the Essence cannons, concealing them once again. When the smoke clears, his brow once again raises, though this time in more genuine surprise than imperious derision.

     Rarity's bemoaned cries play havoc with his enhanced hearing, such that he can be seen visibly wincing--though thankfully, Corona is quick to soothe her fears. "It was a fine work of craftsmanship, dear. I'll be looking forward to your next with bated breath!~"

     The hoverbike, Tranquil Egress, is ejected from his palm as a cube that rapidly unfolds itself into an actually usable form. Sitting astride the vehicle, Eye addresses the Princess. "It was a pleasure to visit your fair world, dear Princess!~ And to hear your voice in person. Should you need video evidence of this incident for judicial purposes, I shall be more than glad to provide."
Mitsu Mirage     MItsu's encompassed by a bunch of smoke and flame... it takes a while for her to get out of said flames but she's enclosed by everyone... the guards, Luna... something felt off, but with a shake of her head she mutters something under her breath. She slowly picks herself up and soon falls back over, her center of gravity felt odd. She looks up, looking to stare at Luna with eyes of hate, but a strange look fills some of her vision, a muzzle? She opens her mouth and eyes watch the black facial appendage follow the motion, a hand moving and... soon she touches her head... feeling the horn.

    She GLARES at Luna and with a frown, "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO ME?!" she shouts as the cuffs get slapped on her. "Nngh." <Master? Going dormant due to capture.> "Kratzenfaust... just when I need you the most..." she grumbles, looking up towards Luna and the rest, "Great... first you put me in this accursed form and /now/ I'm being arrested..."
Princess Luna      Princess Luna has just about had it with Mitsu. "Thou hast the audacity to blame ME for THY misfortune?! Thou art the one who made off with items that were not thine own! THOU art the one that evaded capture and assaulted the crown! This is a result of THINE OWN actions! And for thy crimes, thou shalt be banished to Tartarus!!"

     Luna is huffing in anger by the end, and Crystal Corona approaches. "Um...Princess, I think in situations like this we usually just give community service?" she says a bit nervously. Luna is scary when she gets going! Luna blinks, then sighs softly. "...alright." she says to Crystal, then looks at Mitsu. "But, thou hast used thy last chance with me. If you wish to return here after thou hast served thy sentence, it shall be without thy weapons, and magic-dampening bracers. AND under constant guard surveilance." Seems either ponies don't have trials often, or a princess's word is enough to have a sentence carried out. All-Seeing Eye's comments and Rarity's dismay draw her attention as the guards make sure that not only are Mitsu's hand's bound, but her ankles as well. "Thank thee both for thy assistance. And Sir Eye, if it is necessary, a recording of this event would be most useful."

     Crystal Corona looks to both All-Seeing Eye and Rarity. "Even though we didn't recover the crystals, they are no longer able to be used for nefarious purposes. Thank you both. And please, come visit my workshop. I'm sure both of you would be able to offer great insight into my work!" she says, showing that quick cheerfulness ponies are known for even after something bad has happened.
Rarity Rarity quickly rebounds with Crystal Corona's reassurance. ".. Oh. Oh! Of course." She's back on her hooves in a flash. "This is just an oppritunity to make improvements! One broken project a true artist's inspiration shall not stifle! I can find you some really nice formations to work with. The least I can do to make up for shattering the last se--"

She pauses, blinking at the pony being bound up. She was so into her fit that she missed what had resulted from Mitsu's mishap. "Who's the strange unicorn? Did you carry off that problematic miscrient already?"
Mitsu Mirage     There's not much that Mitsu can do in this state, her body practically betrays her at this point. "Fine." she mutters, her hands bound, ankles bound... she shakes her head and looks towards Rarity... wait, she didn't know who she was? She tries a last ditch effort, "No, I'm ... I'm just some random...unicorn!" smooth, Mitsu... "The real criminal, escaped towards the forest! You need to convince them to let me go so I can help capture them. I saw everything!"

    She takes a deep breath, that tail twitches and it causes her to shudder, muttering "that's a weird feeling" under her breath as she looks to Rarity.. then Eye with a 'pleading' gaze. Maybe those two can be somewhat compassionate in this new state... then the problem would be... how to get /out/ of this form! "Please? Lemme go? I'm innocent!"
All-Seeing Eye Tranquil Egress hums to life, the vehicle hovering above the ground on jets of purple flame. Idly playing with his hair, the Exalt perks at Rarity's question. "Oh?" he asks, his lips curling into an amused smile. "You didn't see?" Eye leans forward and rests on the handlebars. "The... 'problematic miscreant' and the 'strange unicorn' are one in the same!" He giggles impishly. "...after a little magical mishap."

     Princess Luna's judgment seems quite lenient, given the mage's apparently rampant recidivism. Such a criminal would have been recycled long ago, on his world. After her speech, he sits up straight and gives a polite, petite round of applause. "Personally, I don't see why she's upset, your majesty. She looks adorable!" And she wants to deceive, as well. "Ah--and her attempts to elude capture are no less so~" He chuckles, turning to sit side-saddle on the bike and cross his legs.

     "It's very unbecoming to lie, darling!"
Princess Luna      Luna shakes her head at Mitsu. "...if thy place of origin were not outside of this kingdom, I would certainly entertain the possibility of banishment to Tartarus. Thou wouldst do well to remember thou art a visitor here. I do not often grant banishments, but thou art pressing thy luck more and more surely with each passing word." she says. The guards get Mitsu up on her feet, then Luna motions around. "Thy punishment shall be helping to restore the buildings to which thou hast caused damage. Without any use of magic powers. But first, thou shalt spend a day in solitary confinement. If thou seekest to cause any trouble, thou shalt be immediately ejected from Equestria."

     She then looks at Mitsu-pony again. "We do try to make friends of our enemies, but even a pony's patience can be pushed only so far. Especially when thou hast put the lives of our citizens at risk with each encounter. At least Chrysalis only captures citizens. Even Tirek did not cause physical injuries."

     Crystal has all but forgotten about Mitsu. The issue is resolved, and Luna is handling it. "Exactly!" she says to Rarity. "A craftsmare never lets a few setbacks set her back! I learned that from you, you know! Er...well, sort of you." Crystal giggles to Rarity, then nods in agreement with All-Seeing Eye. "It isn't unheard of for strange things to happen when a crystal battery explodes. Although I don't think anyone has been transformed before. This could be a whole new use for crystal energy!"
Rarity Rarity blinks slowly as few times as Mitsunicorn tries to play on her confusion, but then Eye quickly explains what has happened. "..." And then she rolls over in a fit of laughter. "Oh my! What a fitting punishment for making so much trouble here! Take a walk in another pony's horseshoes, as we say." After the somewhat unlady like fit of laughter she ahems softly, whiping her eyes dry as she stands again. "And he's right, you are quite adorable."

As for Crystal's praise she smiles in return. "Well -a- me is just as good, dahling." Then puts a hoof thoughtfully to her chin. "I wonder if me meeting me sometime would cause some sort of paradox..."
Mitsu Mirage     "Seems your guards have a better stake on 'prisoners' than you do, 'princess'." Mitsu mutters, shaking her head as her hair...mane... whatever, goes in front of her face. There's a grumble then a rapid shake of her head, "GET BACK THERE..." she yells at her own hair, grumbling some, at least it's just community s...wait, no magic? "Wait, what?" she mutters, "Fine... just hope this blasted body you trapped me in doesn't betray me. Wouldn't want to be thrown out in this accursed form just because a hammer decided to injure someone."

    She couldn't face /anyone/ like this, it'd ruin her.

    She shoots a glare to both Rarity and Eye, the adorable comments just make the glare more intense, "Adorable?! How..." she grumbles, and sighs, shaking her head. She's in no condition to fight right now... cuffed, ankle braced, and Kratzenfaust's in idle mode, "Fine... fine..." she mutters, "Can... we just get this going so I can get out of this form somehow?"
Princess Luna      Luna is somewhat confused by Mitsu's statement, and her response is stifled by Mitsu having trouble with her mane. "The blasted body that -thou- hast trapped -thyself- in is unlikely to betray thee. Unless thou hast little practice walking on hooves." Luna says with a small smirk. "Sir Eye, wouldst thou be so kind as to copy me some photographs of Miss Mirage in this form? I suspect they shall work quite well as protection against further incidents."
Mitsu Mirage     "Last I checked, I was a human." Mitsu retorts, "Of course I don't know how to walk on hooves! I'm not a familiar." she grumbles even more and her ears perk up... causing the PonyMitsu to shudder again, god this is going to take some getting used to. "Don't you dare... I don't authorize this!" she snaps, "No pictures!"
Princess Luna      Luna just smirks again. "Very well. I shalt simply use thy...what do they call it? Mugshots?" she says as she and the guards lead Mitsu off to the castle for official proceedings. "Thank thee again, All-Seeing Eye! And thee, Miss Rarity!" Crystal Corona also thanks the pair again before the pink unicorn heads off with Luna and Mitsu, snickering at Mitsu. "Well, I hope you enjoy a vegitarian diet for a few days!"
