My Little Pony: Assassin's Creed

Chapter 2: The Assassination

In the room of Golden Oak Library, Twilight looked very sad, upset and depressed, looking at her photo album, on the bed. Her photo album consists of her and her family, smiling within the pictures. Tears leaked out from her eyes, flowing down on her face, and then the both dripped down, Twilight sobbing in sadness. Even though her long younger brother returned from not only the death but also freed from Grimmore's control, Starlight left and continued his journey, involving of redemption.

Twilight had read the letter Starlight had sent. It made her sad and worry that she won't see him soon.

Shining Armor and Spike came up the stairs to Twilight's room. They both saw Twilight Sparkle, sitting alone on the bed. They sighed of upset. They approached her. Shining Armor placed his hoof on Twilight's left shoulder.

Twilight gasped. She turned and saw her brother and her son, were behind of her. She sighed, "Hi..."

"Hey there, sis," Shining Armor greeted gently. He sat on the bed, nuzzling on his little sister's head, "You okay?

"Yeah. I'm fine."

"It's Starlight, isn't it?"

Twilight sighed in upset. She looked up at her older brother's gentle eyes, she said, "Yes. Ever since I learn my brother's identity when he was Equestrian Eliminator, I felt happy and proud to see him alive, but I'm upset too."

Shining Armor nodded his head, "I had that same feeling too, Twiley. I was so angry and upset. Not because of Lorcan, but that Demon God. He manipulated everyone and even our little brother. It make me so angry to kill him."

"Yes. I felt that too. But I saved him. And I'm supposed to be proud and happy to see him alive. I should also be proud to see him being adult. But I... I..."

"I know how you feel. You want to be with him, don't you?"

Her heart felt pain yet sadness, Twilight cried out loud in despair. She turned and hugged Shining Armor tight. He caught and hugged her in his hooves, patting on her back gently and calmly.

"Shh..." Shining Armor hushed his little sister calmly, "It's okay, Twiley. Breathe in, then out. You're not the only one who is sad to see him leave."

Twilight sniffed, wiping her tears off from her eyes as well as breathing in and out. She sighed, "Yeah, I know. That's the reason... I wish he could stay here with us."

"But he chose to go for a quest, ever since he got both map and cloth from someone."

"Yeah... But what does it mean?"

"I don't know. But it might be the answer that Starlight is looking for."

"What would that be?"

"A Redemption. Just like Nyx... and Lorcan..."

"I see..." Twilight sighed, "Will we see him?"

Shining Armor sighed, "I hope so... But everything will be fine. After all, we've been through the worst."

Twilight smiled. She hugged her older brother while nuzzling on his head. Shining Armor nuzzled back on her head.

Feeling happy and joy, seeing the happy scene of siblings, Spike smiled at it.

Spike approached the brother and sister, interrupting their moment, "Sorry to interrupt," Spike said, causing Twilight and Shining Armor, turning to the young dragon. "Our friends and Princess Cadance are waiting."

Twilight smiled, "Of course. We'll be there."

"Thanks for telling, kid." Shining Armor smiled.

"Don't mention of it," Spike said happily.

Twilight and Shining Armor, off the bed, walking towards the down the stairs, with Spike.

On the grassland near to Ponyville, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Shining Armor, Princess Cadance and Spike were walking out while chatting happily.

Boring in seeing and flying, Rainbow groaned before looking down at Twilight Sparkle, "Twilight! Where the heck are we going?"

"Finding Ben and Flash," Twilight answered, "I was told that they both are training, just outside of the Ponyville. I wonder what they're training."

"I don't know. But it sure sounds... FUN!" Pinkie squealed loudly.

Fluttershy sighed, "Must you be so... enthusiasm? I mean, if you feel offended, then I'm sorry for it."

Pinkie continued smiling, "Nope. It'a okie dookie lookie, Fluttershy. Nothing's wrong."

Spike shrugged before heading to the front, walking besides with his adopted mother.

"So, what kind of training Flash and Ben working on? Is it... speed? Or something?" Spike asked curiously.

Twilight shrugged while sighed, she answered, "Well, I can't be certain. But Ben saying that Flash is possessing something that make him... quick and fast..."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know, Spike. But when we first face Starlight, he managed to avoid and fought against us hard and quick through his Shadow Magic. But Flash... he's the only one who is able to make a quick move to fight back. He's like the wind..."

"Seriously?! You don't think he's-" Spike gulped, knowing what Twilight is talking about, before he asked, "He's the Holder of the Element like Crashfire or Snowcrystal?"

Twilight sighed, "I'm not really sure. But it's possible."

Shining Armor chuckled, "After all, he's not the only one that has the Element. Maybe I could have one?"

Princess Cadance giggled gently, "Really? Because I remember in Crystal Empire is where I had my Element of Love appeared when I first fought Frozen Queen."

Feeling Impressive and amusing, Shining Armor chuckled, "Yeah. I'm so jealous on Twiley, her friends, Ben and even my own wife."

Twilight giggled gently, she commented, "Maybe it could, Shining Armor."

"There they are," Rainbow exclaimed in excitement, pointing at her target.

Twilight, her friends, her brother, her sister-in-law and her adopted son turned and followed Rainbow's pointing in front of them. Surprising and astonishing, they watched both Ben and Flash trained together in both flying and fighting. They spotted Nyx, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo were watching the boys' fighting as well. Twilight and her herd approached to the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

"Hey there, guys," Twilight greeted gently, "Whatcha you doing?"

Nyx turned and showed her smile to her mother, greeted and answered, "Hey, mommy. Just watching daddy and Uncle Flash training."

"So..." Rainbow asked gently yet curiously while approaching to her number one fan, "So, what they're doing?"

"They said they're trying to find out about Flash's ability," Scootaloo answered with her smile, "Pretty neat, right? I can't wait to find out how and what kind of talent Flash got."

Applejack whistled, "Hoo wee! Sounds fun to know about it."

Apple Bloom giggled, "You said it, sis. Let's watch. The fighting and training are about to start. This is gonna be good!"

The silent sounded in the plain grassland, both Ben and Flash held their swords in position of preparing to fight. The leaf plucked out from one of the tree's branches. It fell and flew slowly yet gently in midair. Upon reaching on the ground, the leaf touched it, with the sound of gentle.

On both sides of the plain field, Ben and Flash charged in while crying out in battle. Ben swung his sword from the top of Flash, was trying to strike him down. The young Pegasus blocked the attack, with his sword holding up of his head. He pushed his sword up against the Master Sword of the young prince, swinging his sword on his right. Ben blocked and pushing it on his right against his friend, he thrust his sword right on Flash's chest. Flash swung the attack out to his left, thrusting his sword at Ben's chest. Ben thrusting his sword at Flash's sword. The blades of both sides clashed at the same time.

Ben and Flash held their swords tight, pushing their blades against each other. For the moment later, they departed, swinging their swords against each other's from right to left and left to right, and the routine of striking continued. For the multiple times later, Ben jumped up high and over his best friend. Ben ran around, round, round and round around on his best friend, in the middle of battle.

Flash hissed in concern, looking at the situation. He breathed in deep, and out he breathe. Feeling the wind through his skin, instinct of his kicking in, Flash closed his eyes, calming from it. Through his eyes, he sees the foreshadowing of Ben running, running and running around him. Ben's movement became slow, slower, and very slow than before. Flash smirked as if he knows when to strike.

As Ben kept on running, Flash turned to his back, held his sword in front of him. Everyone had their eyes widened in surprise and shock, seeing Ben had stopped his movement at the exact target Flash had placed.

Ben whistled, "Wow. That's cool. I guess your little 'Wind' kicking in?"

Flash smiled, nodded his head, "Yeah... I don't know how. But like you said, it just kicked in. Like yours before."

"We'll never find out of how you came with that instinct, and not to mention... it could be the Element of Wind."

"Don't think so. If that really happen, it could have happen at the same time as you are."

"Maybe. So take a break?"

"Yeah. We can. Finding out of what my power is, not easy for us."

"No kidding."

Ben and Flash put their swords back to the sheaths, turning to sides. Seeing their friends waving to them, Ben and Flash headed towards them.

Twilight, her friends and her family, returning home of theirs: Ponyville. Upon they're walking, they heard loud noise and chatting. These noise were not friendlier, but angered and upset. They looked around, seeing and looking at many ponies galloping and heading to their destination: Ponyville Hall.

"What in the world? What's going on?" Twilight asked in concern. She spotted Filthy Rich heading to his destination. She approached to Filthy Rich, calling him out, "Mr. Rich! What's going on?"

Filthy Rich gasped, "Princess! Thank goodness, you had come! We need you now! Ponyville need you! We have unwanted seller in our town."

Looking concern and worry, Twilight remained calm and firm, nodded her head. She, her friends and family, followed Filthy Rich, all the way to the Ponyville. They looked at the situation: the angry, hatred and unsatisfied citizens, argued and shouting angrily at brownish Arabian Male Horse, with black mustache, wore the robe and had brown Muslim's head-wear, talking to both Mayor Mare. Behind him are couples of light brown stallions wore the red, blue and green Muslim's robes and headwear.

Looking concern and worried, Twilight approached to the front of the Ponyville's Hall.

"Mayor, what is going on?" Twilight asked in concern.

"Your highness! Thank goodness, you are here!" Mayor Mare exclaimed in happy yet concern, "I've been trying to tell this stallion off, but he persistently wants to have his black market on our town."

"What?!"

"I know! But I tried to deny his request. But he refused to listen, and keep on decreasing his price down, and asking us to have his black market here."

Twilight narrowed her angry eyes. Turning to the brown stallion, she questioned in anger, "Who are you?! What do you keep disturbing my home?!"

The brown stallion bowed before Twilight Sparkle as he explained, "Forgive me, your highness. My name is Tamir. I came from Saddle Arabia. As I had said before, I am here to sell my deliveries, weapons, armors, goods and more for black market."

Twilight gasped in shock.

Tamir smiled, continued, "But unfortunately, your Mayor kept on denying, I tried to keep everything fair, but she -!"

"Stop right there, Tamir!" Twilight ordered, causing Tamir to stop his talking, "I know what is her reason. She wants to have both fair and equality for everypony in both Ponyville and Equestria. If she truly chose the black market at our home, there will be nothing but corruption. But I will not accept it. And so does the citizens of Ponyville. Am I right?"

Citizens of Ponyville cheered happily and wildly for their Princess of Ponyville, and so as her family and friends.

Tamir chuckled gently and lightly, making Twilight to be suspicious. He cleared his throat before said, "Forgive me, your highness. Maybe it wasn't fair for everyone as usual. Perhaps, I cut down the price for you and your ponies, so that you can have the things you need."

"I'd say 'NO'!" Twilight answered, "I will not accept the black market at my hometown. Never and ever accept such term! So, I want you to leave this place. Go to any place that you can sell your Black Market than my home or any place that has no interest of buying black market."

"Come now, your highness, let's negotiate -!"

Irritating by Tamir's stubbornness on giving up of asking Twilight Sparkle on building and marketing his Black Market at Ponyville... Why is he so interested on selling black market items on her home?

"What part of 'no' do you not understand?!"

"Please, your highness, I assure you that -"

Interrupting by one of Tamir's Arabia's old Earth Pony Merchant, coming in between Twilight Sparkle and him.

The old merchant said, "Enough, Tamir. When Princess said 'no', she means it. You must respect her and her wishes."

Angered by his employee's interruption, Tamir scolded, "How dare you interrupt my conversation and business between me and the princess."

"I speak of what is right for not only me, my friends, but Equestria. And it is you! How dare you to speak the princess like you own her?!"

"I did not! I'm only trying to negotiate. And, I'm doing the business as usual, like everyone else."

"Like everyone else?!" The merchant demanded and argued, "You?! You will do anything to get more bits for your own gain than others?! While here, I'd see something special, especially the princess, they are kind and fair. But you, you used the corruption and lies to earn the bits! Just for what?! For your client?!"

Feeling angered by his merchant's words, Tamir groaned angrily, "How dare you?! I treated you well. And this is how you repay to me?! I ask you to be silence?! Is that too much to ask? Without me, you will never have money."

"Maybe..." Merchant admitted, before shaking his head, said, "But what you did today... It is the most unacceptable. Speaking against the Princess. You keep asking her to accept your business when clearly she doesn't want it. And worst of all: you had mistreated us, put the blame on us, and betrayed us! I will not work for you. You are a liar and cruel, Tamir!"

Citizens of Ponyville mumbled in concern and worry about Tamir's true intention, business management and treatment.

Angered by his merchant or employee, Tamir snarled angrily, approaching to him, saying angrily, "I mistreated you? You, insolent old pony!"

Tamir spitted his watery at the old pony. Everyone gasped in shock, as well as Twilight, her friends and family.

"You dare disrespect me?!" Tamir asked angrily.

The old merchant gulped, speaking in concern and worry, "Please, Tamir. I meant no insults. I'm just - um - trying to stop you getting into trouble."

"Trouble?! I am in trouble! Because of you! You should have shut your mouth!" Tamir argued angrily, taking the knife out and cut on the old merchant's chest.

Everyone gasped in shock and fear. Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow Dash quickly covered Apple Bloom's, Sweetie Belle's and Scootaloo's eyes, with their hooves.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" Ben demanded angrily.

"Teaching this old pony a lesson!" Tamir answered,

The old merchant became scared and worried as his body shivered in fear, while covering his bloods bleeding from chest, begging, "Please, Tamir! Stop!"

"Stop?!" Tamir asked angrily before scoffed, "Ha! I'm just getting warm up!"

Tamir swung his knife on the old merchant continuously, smiling and enjoying in harming him, with his pure anger yet joy. The old merchant screamed in pain. Everyone that watched the scene and sights, and not even Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon dare to watch, hiding behind of Filthy Rich's back. Tamir couldn't careless of anyone, but dare to kill poor old stallion.

"That's enough!" Twilight Sparkle demanded angrily.

"You had gone too far!" Flash said angrily.

Ignoring Twilight's order, Tamir stopped his stabbing, glaring at the old merchant, saying, "You dare to stood in my way?! You dare to interrupt my conversation between me and my princess?! And you dare to insult me?!"

Tamir groaned as he stabbed on the old merchant's back brutally, ruthlessly and cruelly while crying out loud, "You - Must - Learn - Your - Place!"

Old merchants coughed out loud painfully. Taking the last breathe, he fell to the ground hard. Everyone who saw the event, looked shock and scared in seeing the event, mumbling in concern. Tamir... was indeed a monster than pony.

Frightened and concerned by the shocking and disturbing event, Twilight became speechless, out of fear, and so as her friends and family.

Tamir turned to his merchants, explained angrily, "If any of you ever try to stop or interrupt my work again, this - will - be - your - warning! Do I make myself clear?!"

The merchants looked down in both fear and concern. They nodded their heads, knowing that if they defied him again, Tamir will kill them.

Tamir smirked in pleased, "Good. Now where was I? Ah yes, the business,"

Tamir turned to Twilight. She gave a big punch on his muzzle hard. He screamed in pain, "Ow! What is the meaning of this?!"

"You! How dare you kill him?! How could you?! Right in front of the foals?!" Twilight asked angrily.

Mayor Mare nodded her head, "I must agree with her highness. This kind of behavior will not be tolerated in our home or Equestria. Therefore, we will not accept your stupidity black market, nor your attitude and treatment towards to your merchants."

"Thank you, Mayor," Twilight said gently, "I hope that get to your thick skull."

"No! I do not care of that. But the point is that we are talking about marketing, not about employee. They are no concern of mine." Tamir insisted angrily.

"That's the point. You don't care about their lives!" Twilight argued, "I don't know what is the worst. Your stubbornness or your ruthlessness and cruelty. You kill that poor old pony, without having mercy or regret?! At least that old merchant is much more sensitive and considerate than you are!"

"I regret nothing. And you dare to compare me to that old fool?!"

"Then that is your biggest mistake! Without the employees, you won't achieve good business but troubles! You did not show any sign of caring and kindness to them!"

"That is nothing -!"

"No, you listen!"

Both Princess Twilight Sparkle and Tamir continued arguing at each other about business and lives. Everyone looked concern and worry of what happen next. It seemed that Tamir takes 'no' for his black market, and didn't care of what happen or consequence if he continued to try or done stupid...

Ben sighed in concern, "I can't believe it. I'd always thought Superior, Grimmore or Dark Curse is worse, but him. Killing old pony is the worst thing to do. Mom will hear about this."

Flash nodded his head in agreement, "Yeah. I had to agree with you for that."

A wind blew his both mane and body, giving a shiver to his spine. His instinct had kicking in again! Flash gasped in shock and surprise as he had thoughts: 'What the?! What is... this feeling? What's... going on? I'd... never felt it before... What's going on?'

Continuing in finding the strange yet mysterious source and instinct Flash had received, he looked around in finding it. Feeling worry and concern, He had his head sweated out, as well as looking around in the area. The ponies continued mumbling and chatting in concern, anger and upset. He can't shake his 'instinct' out that something bad is about to happen.

Flash gasped in concern. He spotted the mysterious white hooded robe with brown shoulder wooden plate and had brown horseshoes, both his front hooves had gauntlets, walking straight to the front while gently pushing some ponies to aside.

"Huh? Who's... Who's that?" Flash asked in concern.

"Flash? What's up?" Ben asked in concern.

"Troubles. Come on," Flash said in concern and serious.

Ben nodded his head, knowing his best friend is catching on something. Ben followed Flash, both heading to the front while pushing some ponies aside.

Feeling annoying and angry, Twilight argued, "For the last time, it's 'no'. If you keep this up, then I'll be happy to make a report of what you had done!"

Tamir scoffed, "If you truly do such a thing, then you would ruin your reputation and business, your highness."

"I'd rather saved and protect lives than reputation! I will not let you get away with it!"

"Then, you are -!" Tamir was about to argue. Interrupted by the shadow looming over him, he gulped in concern. His body shivered in fear. He panted in concern and fear, fearing that someone had found him. Turning to his left, he gasped in fear, "No! No! Not now! Stay away! Stay away!"

"Huh?" Everyone asked in confusion and concern.

Twilight turned to the direction of Tamir's looking. She gasped, upon seeing the white hood pony, in midair, raising his left hoof up. His left's gauntlet's bottom revealed its blade out.

Ben and Flash gasped in fear, as well as Mane Six, Shining Armor, Princess Cadance, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Spike and Phobos, watching on the event. They quickly headed to the front.

"Twwwwwwiillliiiiiggggggggghhhhhtttt!" Everyone cried out in fear and concern.

Twilight screamed in fear, watching the white hooded pony, came out of nowhere. She feared that her life has come to an end, and knowing her enemies couldn't risk of letting her live.

Instead of Twilight, Tamir screamed even more than her. The white hooded pony thrust his Hidden Blade against on his target's throat to the ground hard. Twilight Sparkle gasped in shock, finding that the white hooded pony targeted on Tamir, not her. Why?

"Why now..." Tamir said weakly.

"Simple... You have no protection..." The white hooded pony answered calmly, "He abandon you... Shadow Assassin is dead..."

"You'll pay for this. You... and your kind... I may had fail to gain bits or building weapons. My part... is done... My brothers... and He... They will come for you... They will know of this... He is the true ruler... of all..."

"He will never be freed. I look forward in ending their lives. I promise."

"Such pride... It will destroy you, Altair bin Al-Lahad..."

With his last breathe to give, Tamir fell to the ground. Everyone gasped in shock and confusion, as well as worrying and concern. They mumbled and muttered of what they had saw. Altair, using his right hoof, covered Tamir's eyes down.

"Rest in peace. Free from pure corruption and greed," Altair said calmly.

Feeling concern and worry as well as feared, Twilight had her spine and body shivered, seeing Tamir murdered in front of her. Altair turned to her. She gasped in concern, filling her mind in concern or worry. She became worry of what the Assassin do next.

"Princess? Princess! We must leave at once! You are in danger!" Mayor insisted in concern.

Twilight did not move but watched and looked at Altair, who smiled gently.

"Fear nothing. I have not come for him." Altair said calmly. "He is... one of us..."

Feeling scared and worried, Twilight's eyes widened in shock and concern, "One... of... us?"

"Twilight!" Ben cried. Twilight gasped, turning to Ben, her friends and family charging in, saving her from Altair. "Hang on, we're coming!"

Twilight turned and saw Altair, charging and running towards her. She gasped in shock. Before she could do anything, Altair jumped over her. He started running as fast as he could, and away from his enemies.

Ben hugged Twilight tightly and gently, asking, "Twilight! Are you okay?"

Twilight shook her head quickly, showing her firm and serious face, giving instruction, "We've gotta go after him! He knows something."

"Why?!" Shining Armor asked in concern.

"No time. He has answers! And we're going to find out!" Twilight said out loud.

Her friends and family nodded their heads. Twilight and her gang, charging and running after their mysterious enemy: Altair, as fast as they can. They chased him across the houses and shops. They are meters away from him yet continuing chasing him.

Altair quickly jumped on the boxes, climbed on it to the top. He then jumped to another building, grabbing the lantern tightly. He jumped up, climbed on the rooftop's front parts to the top.

"What the-?!" Twilight said in concern, "Rainbow! Fluttershy!"

"On it!" Rainbow cried.

Both Rainbow and Fluttershy headed to their directions: the daredevil headed to west while shy pony headed to east, and Twilight headed to the center. They flew up to the sky, hoping to catch their mysterious enemy. Upon reaching to the top, Twilight, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy found nothing.

"What the-?!" Rainbow Dash asked in shock, "Where did he go?!"

Fluttershy gasped in concern, pointing at her direction of north, and said, "He's over there!"

Twilight and Rainbow Dash turned to the north, seeing Altair is far away from them.

"Shining Armor!" Twilight shouted.

"On it!" Shining nodded his head, turning to his friends and comrades. He instructed, "If we're gonna catch up on him, we need to split up and covered more grounds. Spike, Phobos, Cadance and Cutie Mark Crusaders, with me to north. Ben and Flash to west. Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Rarity to east. We need to catch him!"

"Right!" Everyone cried.

Shining Armor, Cadance, Spike, Phobos and Cutie Mark Crusaders headed to the north direction. Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Rarity headed to the east. Ben and Flash headed to the west.

Shining, Cadance, Spike, Phobos and Cutie Mark Crusaders running and charging at Altai,r who remained on the building's top, running and jumping from one to another. They watched from the below, hoping to follow and capture him. To the end, hoping they can catch him when he jumped down. Instead, Altair turned to his east while Shining Armor, Cadance, Spike, Phobos and Cutie Mark Crusaders gasped in shock. They quickly turned to their east, and found... nothing...

On the east, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Rarity continued walking and looking around in their surroundings, as well as ponies coming towards them: old, middle and young aged. Three heroines looked around and finding their suspected enemy, yet so far found nothing but ponies and buildings. Passing them by, Altair lowed his head down while following the ponies crossing the road to the very west, and passing three of Mane Six.

On the west, Ben and Flash, showing their determination and heroic, they chased after Altair to the end of the road. Altair quickly jumped on the wall, grabbing its one of the bricks. He climbed it up to the next one and another, with his speed and agility, all the way to the top. He then disappeared from their sighted. Ben and Flash gasped in shock.

"Damn it!" Ben groaned angrily, "How are we gonna catch him?!"

Before Flash could speak up, his eyes open widened like his instinct had kicking in. Through his vision, he sees the world of black and white while seeing the wind and air in green. Altair, the crimson aura of a pony, running and jumping from one building to another. The green flow followed Altair, yet to the end of his road revealed the greenish land and the waterfall.

Flash gasped in shock while saying in surprise, "What the..."

"What's up?" Ben asked in concern.

"I know where he goes." Flash answered.

On the grassland, Altair continued running away and fast as he could from Twilight and her friends. Running upon to the end of the edge, he saw the waterfall in front of him. Reaching till the end, he stopped at once. Feeling something or someone had followed him, Altair turned and saw Twilight and her friends surrounded him.

"We've got you now, buster!" Pinkie said eagerly.

"Alright, white hooded pal! Start talking!" Rainbow demanded angrily.

"Who are you?!" Rarity demanded.

"Why did you kill Tamir?! Applejack demanded.

"And more importantly, why do you spare my sister's life?" Shining Armor demanded, "Usually most of the assassins come and assassinate my sister at once, without having thoughts or second."

Cadance nodded her head, demanding, "What is going on?"

"If you don't mind answering," Fluttershy said meekly.

Altair remained silent as he slowly going back.

"Don't even think about that! Killing yourself won't make you happy from the bad things you had done!" Ben said angrily. "So start talking!"

"Besides, we want everything you had to said," Flash agreed with Ben's statement.

"First, you must answer mine." Altair spoke calmly and firmly.

"Hey buddy! Are you even listening?!" Spike demanded angrily.

"We are the ones asking!" Phobos said angrily.

Ignoring of the questions that Twilight and her friends had given, Altair asked, "How did you find me that quickly? I doubt Alicorn are quicker in finding me easily."

"Did he just ignore the question we asked?" Apple Bloom asked curiously.

"I think so." Sweetie Belle shrugged in concern.

"Or he doesn't care." Scootaloo said angrily.

Feeling unsure and concern, Nyx sighed, knowing it would be pointless if they continued arguing. She answered, "Uncle Flash's instinct led us right here. That's how we know where you heading."

Hearing of what Nyx had said, Altair nodded his head in understanding, answering their questions, "So, who is Flash?"

"I am," Flash answered.

"Good enough. You indeed possessed something greater. Something that helps you to see and foreseen the upcoming event of your enemies' movement. Therefore, I humbly answered to you," said Altair, calmly, "You had seen what kind of pony Tamir is. Showing no mercy or kindness to his merchants and employees. Worse of all: selling black market to your home, and using corruption against the Princess, hoping to gain popularity. This is something that I must do for greater good."

Twilight shook her head, "Even so, it doesn't mean you can assassinate him. We can talk him to give his stupid black market out."

"He's beyond of that. He is... not a pony. He is a monster."

"How do you even know that?! The only monster is -!"

"One who had forgotten the ponity is the true monster. Unlike you or your friends or family, you had not forgotten, and neither one of your kin since he is one of us."

"Wait?! What?! What are you talking about?! Who are you?!" Twilight demanded.

"My name is Altair bin Al-Lahad," Altair answered, slowly went back of his, causing everyone to gasp in concern and worry. "I am one of Wind Assassins. An order which will bring peace and tranquility to the Equestria. An order will make sure that 'He' will never escape from his prison."

Everyone looked confused and dumbfounded at Altair's answer, he said firmly, "If you wish to seek more, seek Princesses of Sun and Night, and your Mystic friends to answer your questions. They know the organization well. We shall meet again."

Before any of them could do, Altair jumped back of him. Twilight, her friends and family gasped in shock and fear.

Altair fell to down of the river. Everyone looked closely at how Altair survived the fall. Feeling anxious, concern and worry, they watched the event. Altair fell to the river, with loud splash.

Everyone gasped in shock, continued watching the event carefully. The river bubbling more and more, as if something is coming out. Something flew out from the river. Altair revealed himself to be unexpected for Twilight and her friends, right in front of them.

"Altair is a Pegasus?!" Twilight and her friends asked in shock and surprise.

Altair turned away and flew off.

"What... what was that about?" Fluttershy asked in concern.

"I... I really don't know," Twilight answered, "But I do know one thing to do. If Princess Celestia and Princess Luna know something, then it is time to find out."

Her friends and family nodded their heads in agreement with Twilight. In their minds filled with questions for only one: What is 'Wind Assassins'? Only one can answer.

To be continued...
