The Last Sparks

Chapter 3

The Servants

"YOU TWO!! THOMAS AND LAUGHY!!!"
"Yes, ma'am, how can we help you?" Thomas said.
"Take him to the Emergency Room downstairs."
"Yes, ma'am."

Thomas and Laughy ran downstairs to the Emergency Room for the Emergency Crew to take care of him.
"What happened?" Asked one of the nurses.
"He was hit with a plank of wood." Laughy said.
"Okay, tell Verein he should be okay. Just let him stay down here for a while and we'll send him up maybe tomorrow. As you can see, he's still asleep, so send her down while she still has the chance."
"Alright. You have a great day."
"You, too!"

Thomas and Laughy told Verein that she could go down when she's ready.
"I really wouldn't recommend going down there right away, ma'am." Thomas told Verein.
"No pony cares. Now, please, GET OUT!!!" She said as she slammed the door in their faces.
"And you call her a nice boss." Laughy said.

An hour later, Verein came out of her room and went downstairs to the E.R. She was escorted by soldiers in bronze armor.
"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?" Verein yelled to a random guard.
"N-nothing, ma'am." The guard gulped.

She turned her nose at him and continued trotting to the downstairs E.R. When she reached the E.R., she asked everyone to leave and escort everyone else to the hospital down the street. She turned off all lights and trotted to Jump.

Back in Ponyville city, fireponies were putting out the fire from hours later. Everypony around the area was being questioned for the disappearance of Jump.
"I don't know, officer. I trotted up to him and held him in my hooves. He was knocked out from the explosion." Twilight said. "He disappeared when Nurse Redheart ran over."
"He really misses you, and it's been over 300 years since you've seen him." Celestia said to Accord, Jump's father.
"I understand, and I wish I could've been there to provide for him, but unfortunately, someone banished me to Venus." He said in his deep voice.
"I know... and that was one of many mistakes I will never make again." Celestia said.

Accord had just returned from Venus, very aware of what was unfolding in Ponyville. He had something to attend to at that moment and left.
"Cherry Dash, are you okay?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Yes, I'm fine. I just want to know where my dad went to." She said.
"I don't know, he just... disappeared. Listen, the police are looking for him now, I'm sure. Just be strong, okay?" Rainbow said.
"Okay." She replied.

Spike was walking around, freaking out, wondering if he should've told everypony, or at least warned them about what happened.
"Scar, would it be bad if..." Spike said.
"Bad if what?" Scar asked.
"Bad if Jump told me all of this was going to happen, and I didn't tell anypony?" Spike asked.

Scar looked at Spike's face and had a deep pit of helplessness, fear, and shock.
"Look, if you knew this was going to happen, why didn't you tell anyone?"
"Because then, I didn't believe him, and I knew if I didn't tell anyone else, they wouldn't believe me." Spike said.

Rainbow Dash was inside, turning on the radio. Verein came on the radio.
"Good afternoon. I have been informed that there was an attack in Ponyville city. Crews have been called to the scene, and are now clearing up the scene." She said. "I was alerted that there were no deaths or injuries, except one: former Prince, Jump, was knocked out. Now, he is okay and resting."
"Oh, thank goodness he's okay!" Twilight said cheerfully.
"Now, I must go. Thank you."

Everyone began to wonder WHERE he was. Ponies wondered why did this happen. Some thought it was fake, or for a movie. News spread around that Jump detonated the bomb. But, none of this was true.

The next day in Canterlot...
"C'mon, honey, get... wait. That isn't my alarm clock." Jump said. "I'm in my old room. How did I get here?"

Verein began to wake up as well.
"Time for breakfast. C'mon." Verein said.

Jump didn't recognise the voice as Twilight's, Cherry's, Spike's, his mother's, or Rarity's.
"Oh, hello." She said.
"Who are you?" Jump asked.
"Don't you remember me? I am Queen Die Prinzessin der Kranken Böse Gesellschaft. You can call me Verein." She said.

Jump widened his eyes and shook his head to see if he was seeing things.
"How did I get here? What did you to Twilight?"
"Oh, that nasty thing? I got rid of her."
"She isn't nasty. She's my wife!"

She dragged him by his mane and pulled him off the bed.
"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL HER?!!" She yelled.
"My wife. What else should I call her?" Jump said.
"Definitely, not that. When you're in here, you don't call anyone that but me."

She threw his head back on the floor.
"I'm sorry, I still don't understand why I'm in here."
"That's none of you're business at the moment. Now, let's go downstairs."

Verein and Jump went downstairs to the diner hall, where the two were greeted with applause.
"Thank you. I have achieved what the ponies of the Ponyville Republic have asked me to do. We still have more to accomplish in the next three and a half years." Verein said. "Now, please, let's eat."

Verein became infamous internationally after that day. Everypony afterward thought she would try to take the world. Her goals were to ruin the good name of the last ruling family of Equestria. Everyone else tried their best to ruin it as well. They began to blame Celestia, Jump, and Twilight for not saving Equestria.

With their ever growing hate for them, everything became more and more strange everyday.
