"What are you two doing her! This doesn't make any sense! You're a cellist...." Twilight pointed to the gray mare known as Octavia. "And your a DJ!" And then pointed to Vinyl.

"Well I'm sorry for not telling you that we're assassins!" Vinyl yelled with a little more volume than she intended. "It's kinda taboo to tell outsiders that your an assassin."

"Yeah, I know. Never compromise the brotherhood, I already heard that." Twilight smirked a little. "It's just a little surprising that you two would be here."

"Yeah I know, but-" Octavia said and paused, processing what Twilight had said. "Did you just say, Never compromise the brotherhood?"

"Yeah, why?"

In the blink of an eye, Vinyl and Octavia were standing right in front of Twilight, eyes full of fear and curiosity. "Who told you?!" They asked in unison.

"Lunar Shade, why?!" Twilight asked, a bit taken aback by their reraction.

"Oh, this is bad, this is bad, this is bad........" Octavia repeatedly said, trotting in place as her mane started to become a little disheveled.

"Octavia calm down. Don't you think it makes sense that Shade would do this." Vinyl said with a hint of worry in her voice.

"Why would it make sense if she did that? Why is this bad?" Twilight said as a growing sense of worry seeped itself into her mind.

"Because, she has a grudge to-" Octavia was interrupted by a three chime bell going off, sounding a bit foreboding on the last chime. "settle."

"What was that for?" Twilight was starting to go into full panic mode from the absence of information she was being given.

"Do not ask for whom the bell tolls...." Vinyl said as she and Octavia pulled up their hoods, and as two assassins approached them. "For the bell may toll for you."

When the two assassins approached, Octavia and Vinyl quickly made their ways back towards the direction they came. "Miss Sparkle, we need you to come with us, please." The assassin, clearly a mare from her voice, said as she and the other assassin flanked her right and left.

"Why, where are you taking me." Twilight asked out of fear.

"The elders are to judge you and your friends." The assassin on her right, clearly a stallion, said as they started to walk towards a tower with a belfry.

"Judge us for what?"

"You know our secrets, and if you're let out of hear, we need to make sure you keep them. Or you die." The assassin on her left said mercilessly.

After a small walk out of the garden and up a flight of stairs, the trio had come upon a large set of white doors, with the assassin symbol in the middle. As one of the assassins opened the doors, Twilight could hear her friends arguing with someone on the other side.

"What do you mean we can't leave? Why do we even have to see these elders of yours!" the muffled voice of Rainbow Dash said at some unknown pony.

When the doors were fully open, Twilight saw that her four friends were arguing with Lunar Shade.

"Looks like you finally arrived, Miss Sparkle." Lunar Shade said, a barely suppressed giddiness in her voice. "Oooo, I can't wait till the verdict." At this, Lunar Shade squeeled like a school filly.

"Why are you so excited?" Twilight asked, confused at why she was the only assassin that wasn't showing a grim mood.

"Because I-"

Lunar Shade was interrupted by the joyous laughter of a certain pink and bubbly mare and aging stallion walking towards them from the entrance hall.

".....And then after he drank the glass and threw the chocolate milk away, it exploded!" Pinkie exclaimed, causing the stallion to burst into another roar of laughter.

When they both finally stood in front of the five mares and three assassins, Twilight was able to see that the stallion was a dark gray with a black mane and goatee which has a few white hairs in them. His cloak was the color of wine, and his cutie mark was the assassin symbol with a phoenix in the middle of it.

"F-Freedom Seeker!" Lunar Shade stuttered as she and the other two assassins bowed out of respect.

"No need to bow to this tired old man, Shade." Freedom Seeker said with his Roaman accented voice.

"Not to be rude, but, are you from Roam Mr. Seeker?" Rarity asked.

"Ci. I'm just here to help keep the order together." freedom Seeker said with a smug grin.

Rarity gasped with an excited grin. "Pinkie, how did you meet this handsome stallion!"

Pinkie Pie just giggled at her friends question, knowing all too well that Rarity would probably ask about the fashion trends in Milan. "Oh, it's kinda funny how Freedom and I met......"

As Pinkie Pie hopped down the halls of the assassins home, she eventually found a slightly opened door that led into a large room filled with a wide assortment of cloth, supplies, books, and a king sized bed.

"Can I help you?" asked a light gray stallion from behind a desk.

"Nope! I was just admiring your room Mister!" Pinkie Pie said as she hopped around a bit more before coming to a halt in front of the stallions desk. "Hey do you like funny stories?"

"I could go for one."

"Well, this one time when my friend Twilight met our friend Zecora....."

"Ever since then, we've been roaming the halls and just laughing at each others stories." Freedom said, smiling at his new friend. He then turned to the four mares and three assassins. "Now, why are you hear, my children."

"These six have become a potential threat to the Order. They need to be dealt with properly." Lunar Shade said with a smug grin. "I think they should all be executed."

"What!?" The six mare exclaimed in unison.

"W-Why would you want us executed?" Fluttershy fearfully said as she hid behind Rainbow Dash.

"Tch, because of what you six have done." Lunar Shade spat with venom. "You took something from me, and I want what's coming to you."

"We barely even know you! You have no reason to hate us!" Rainbow Dash said as she got into Lunar Shades face. "And if you even lay a hoof on one of my friends, I'll kick your sorry flank!"

"I'd like to see you try, hot head!"

By now, Twilight and her friends were starting to argue with Lunar Shade. The only ponies that weren't arguing were the two assassins, Freedom Seekers, and Pinkie Pie.

After a couple of minutes, Freedom Seeker decided that he had waited long enough for the furious mares to calm down, he pulled out a small, wooden ball with a wick in one end. He then pulled out a small match and lit and threw the ball towards the mares, causing the mares to be shrouded in a light grey cloud of smoke.

Once the smoke had cleared and the coughing from the mares had stopped, the six mares stared at Freedom Seeker.

"You six can settle this when we get to the meeting hall, but for now, try not to kill each other on the way there." At that, Freedom turned around and beckoned the small group to follow him.

Twilight and her friends stood in between two large crowds of assassins, while in front of them on a raised pedestal sat Freedom Seeker and two mares and a stallion.

"Before we begin, let me introduce you six mares to my colleagues and close friends." Freedom said. "These two are Cherry and Apple Blossom." He pointed to the twin pegasi mares.

Cherry Blossom had a light green coat with a pink mane accented with dark red streaks that complimented her deep brown cloak. While Apple blossom had the same green coat and brown cloak, her mane was a stark white with light pink highlights. Even though they looked fairly young, there amber eyes spokes volumes of knowledge that spoke beyond their years.

"And the stallion over here is Quick Draw." Freedom Seeker said as he pointed to the unicorn

Said unicorn had a burgundy coat and black mane that went well with his pale green cloak. He looked around the same age as Freedom seeker, but his deep blue eyes made him seem like a young colt.

"Now, before we begin, I would like to know the charges be known to the accused and attending assassins." He looked towards the six mares and started reciting the one, but gravest of accusations that they had committed. "You six have been charged with compromising the brotherhood by learning the history and possible location of our home. The penalty for this is death. What do you say in your defense?"

"I would like to say that my friends and I had no intention to do any harm to any of you. We had no idea us being here could cause such danger." Twilight said apoligetically.

"I say we eliminate them from the equation." Lunar Shade said as she looked at the six mares mercilessly. "Permanently."

Multiple gasps were heard from both the crowd, the elders, and the six mares.

"Lunar Shade!....." Cherry Blossom Began as Apple Blossom finished.

"What has gotten into you?"

"They deserve it for what they did!" Lunar Shade said, flaring her wings out as she did so.

"And you had no hoof in their accusations?" Quick Draw asked, his tone making it obvious that the six mares weren't even a real concern.

"Does it even matter?!"

Freedom Seeker just shook his head at what Lunar Shade said. "Lunar Shade, I know you've been hurt, but that doesn't mean you can take vengeance. If you keep on this path, you might become corrupt like-"

"I will never become like them!" Lunar Shades wings were now in a more threatning stance as a few stray tears started to form in her eyes."They have taken too much from me, and I will make them pay!"

After hearing this, the four elders huddled together and started talking with each other. And after a few minutes of consulting, the four elders had finally come to an agreed decision.

"We have found the charges against you, as I have just been informed, the elements of harmony, to be false and void." Freedom Seeker said, which caused the six mares to cheer. "However." But those cheers quickly died down. "Lunar Shad must instead face the same penalty."

"Wait!" The four elders turned their heads to see where the sudden interruption had come from. What they were met with was both Vinyl Scratch an Octavia rushing over to Lunar Shade. "You can't do that! Shade was blinded but can repent. Isn't there another way?" Vinyl asked as Octavia tried to calm down Shade.

"She made her bed, now she has to lay in it." Quick Draw spat.

As Octavia continued to calm down Lunar Shade, she had gotten an idea she was sure would work.

"Excuse me my elders, but I have a suggestion that may work for all of us."

"And what would that be..."

"Our child?"

Octavia couldn't keep the satisfied grin from her face as she told them, which shocked both Twilight, her friends, and Lunar Shade.
