[Cloudsdale and Ponyville's local speedster masked hero appears on the scrolls with a message for all. There is a wall behind him but it is blank.]

This is the Wondrous Bolt. I'm a masked hero who has been fighting crime in Cloudsdale for the past year.

After witnessing the events during Calice's last appearance I have one thing to say: we need to work together if we're going to stand a chance.

I can't say how powerful Calice is or if it is possible to fight her head on, but I do know that I'm not the only one here who wants to protect those who can't protect themselves. I know a few ponies are attempting to work together but let's be honest with ourselves, that last confrontation was overall sloppy. If we can get more organized, if we can work together as a larger team making the most of each individual's abilities, then I believe it will open up more opportunities for us to collect information on Calice. I also know that if we work together, we'll do a lot better keeping others safe.

Calice doesn't like it when ponies cooperate. She thinks friendship, even team cooperation, are useless. Let's prove her wrong. Let's make the best team we can. Enough trying to take Calice down alone or stroking egos. [Oh how hard that lesson had hit him in the past at home.]

To start, I'm reaching out to you all now for a role call. I'm creating a list we can all access with our abilities and whatever name you would like to go by. -It's up to you if you want to share your ID. Think of adding yourself to this list as an agreement to give this team idea a chance.

This invitation is extended to all. You don't have to be a masked hero like myself. You don't even have to be a fighter- we need all kinds of talents. There is more to saving the day than throwing punches.

[He looks a little sheepish or even pained as he adds a last message.]
Lastly, Magical Girls, I know you're out there. I know I'm a guy in a mask and maybe it's not cool to let me into the group, but please consider joining. This effort is for the greater good. We can't limit our allies to those of one kind of title or power any more.
[Okay, maybe he's been a little peeved knowing that the magical girls have been keeping all the other hero-types and would-be-helpers out of the loop.]

[ooc: tl;dr This is a call upon others to all work together and make an effort to become an organized force against Calice for the next fight/to support the information gathering effort. A new page for the list (see tab "List for Team") has been added to our group's spreadsheet. If your character wants to join the effort, add their info to the list. Super powers are not required. Just a willingness to help.]

Do you control plants or animals or something?

[He nods.] It's not like you can predict what Calice will say either.

I wish there was something we could do to help ensure your... Well. Your safety -or to make it a easier for you.

Is there anyway to protect yourself over-er-in there? [What's the right term to use for where Jappleack goes?]

Not really. I can summon vines and move a piece of the earth a little. That's about it.

[Yeeeahh. Coco's the weakest precure in Equestria and not just because of inexperience.]

He has a few attacks, but they're pretty basic. He's really just geared toward gathering information. And before you ask, I already tried scanning Calice, but it was too much to make any sense of.

Yeah. He's me and I'm him. Try to be careful about insults since that's technically insulting me too.

His, or rather my, arcana is the Sun and I've got some healing spells as well as a fire attack, a physical attack that can attack multiple enemies but hurt every time I use it, and a couple other spells. One temporary boosts magic attacks and the other is mainly a spell that cancels a certain type of spell. It's not that useful except against other persona users.

...Wish us luck.

Going as friends will help keep us safe. Having friends back here wishing us protection and not to funk up? Might help even more.

I tried numerous times to contact this world from my own. Nothing worked. Not even utilizing the powers of a God did it. Though Blue has his own problems to worry about.

I've made it as far as high Equestrian Orbit, halfway to the moon. Maybe if I opened a wormhole I could make it TO the moon.

Can't guarantee I'll be too great at taking orders, but I've been getting better at playing well with others.

The V-watch is a transformation item that only works for people chosen to inherit it. Its powers are...well, pretty much what it says on the tin. Slow slows things down, makes landings easier and gives you more time to process things. Good for messing up an enemy's aim, too, since you don't slow down quite as much, and it amplifies the force of an attack.

Mach speed lets me move a lot faster than I normally could, fast enough to create tornadoes if I didn't have a much less dizzying method of doing that. Pretty much what people think when they hear super speed, really.

[Billy is wearing his uniform---blue spandex, white diamonds---though his helmet sits on the ground beside him. He's given up the whole secret thing.]

I'm Billy, but you can call me Blue Ranger. I'm definitely capable of combat, but I'm really best at inventing tools for other heroes to use---weapons, shields, grappling hooks, or any other tools. If there's anything the team needs, I'll do my best to provide it.

For whatever it's worth, I'll add my name to the list. I know I won't be able to help the ponies that plan to extend friendship and forgiveness to her, so if I can help in any other way, I'm willing.

I'm Vergil, by the way.

Fairly new...I've been here for a couple weeks or so.

Really...? My kind of powers?

[While her parents did a great job training her back home, they couldn't really do much helping her with her powers.]

I'm not really all that great at fighting, though I am still working on the shelter and bunker I started. I can fight if I'm really needed, but... I think a safe, defensible place for whoever can't fight to go... The community center doesn't really seem to be the best option.

I'm game. Just keep me out of any charges you might wanna lead; shields are for defending, not attacking.

Flare Star, though I'm sure I've made my name way too well known lately.

Ha, thanks!

Uh, my powers mostly stem from healing abilities and I haven't been one too long back home. Probably only a few weeks, maybe even a month...it's complicated.

[Gosh. Is everypony revealing their identities? Wally almost feels guilty for not telling his own.]

Good to meet you Billy. You can make weapons and tools? That'll be super helpful!

I see you're a unicorn right now. Have you tried out any spells? Maybe ones that could help you build stuff or reinforce it?

Welcome to great Pony struggle then. You'll settle into your new body- if I could anybody can. [He was really unenthusiastic about his situation upon arrival.]

Yeah, I mean, technically Miss Martian uses cloaking instead of invisibility but it's pretty close. And Rocket- force fields are her specialty.

Can you show me an example of your abilities?

You went home for a while then?

If Calice brought us here I wouldn't be surprised if she has the power to send us back. Perhaps she interfered with your attempts.

Hi Vergil. Don't worry we won't ask you to go hold Calice's hoof. I figure, leave the friendshipping to the experts any way. You will be expected to have the backs of other ponies when they need you though. Do you think you could still help out those who want to try saving Calice from her... whatever her problem is?

You're building a shelter? Wow that's really helpful!

Where is it located?

Thanks for volunteering your help Flare Star. We'll do our best to save you for the defense lines.

[He pauses, then asks.]

Um. I am aware that you are not so fond of vigilantes. Are you going to be okay with working with ponies like myself?

It's getting a little easier now...I've had some people - er, ponies helping me when I first came.

So...did you know a lot of people with powers? [Just out of curiosity.]

Well...I'm still kind of getting used to having to channel my powers through magic...but...

[Setting the scroll down, she takes a couple of steps back, revealing her whole body, still clad in the superhero suit. Her horn began to glow with violet energy, which soon spread around her, forming a giant bubble.]

Huh. So Mach speed gives you super speed abilities, while Slow makes your perception of things faster? Or does it actually literally slow other stuff down?

[In both cases one would move faster than everything else. He had to ask again to make sure he understood the difference.]

Uh what do you mean by too much? Too much power for the scan to handle? Or information?

Never had a problem with you, Bolt. You work with the law instead of doin' your own thing regardless of what anyone says.

The other hero types could learn from that example.
