Riddle one, the world is full of _______
Riddle one, the world is full of _______
A group of teenage ponies were running along a course which had climbing, moving underneath things, jumps and targets. A small group of 3 made it to where a single mare was standing but all lost the fight against her.
''You wouldn't be coming back alive like this!'' yelled the mare, cracking a stick in half with her magic, ''No target would wait for you to kill them, beat them to every breath of their body is gone, that's when your job is over,''
Then, a single unicorn ran along the course without a single expression on her stone cold face.She was a lavender mare with a dark purple-blue mane that was streaked with pink and violet. She also had violet eyes that were orb like and didn't have circle pupils, they had digger pupils. Her cutie mark was a pink star overlapping a white and was surrounded by 6 others.
She throw a dagger into one of the targets with her magic but the moment she throw it, her magic aura left it to soar into the target on it's on. It hit the target dead on in the center and she throw two others and some over targets. She ran towards the mare.
She glared coldly at the mare, the mare had a smirk on her face. The unicorn moved closer to her, grabbing the mare by the shoulder and twisting her over. The mare landed straight on her back, yelping in pain and surprise.
The teenager contiued the course, jumping through a square at the end. She landed, turned quickly and threw her last dagger at a target. The overseers gasped and wrote down.
''Training complete. First successful pony is Twilight Sparkle!'' yelled one of them.
''Canterlot Academy. As somepony of this world,'' said a alicorn with flowing mane and tail and a cutie mark of a sun, ''You should know what that is?''
''I do,'' said Twilight, coldly.
''Your gonna transfer from here. You'll be joining the 'Black' class along with 12 other students,'' continued the mare, ''Your job is the kill the target, which for reasons unknown, is a 'normal' earth pony mare about your age,''
''I understand,''
''All the other students are assasins. What you get in return is anything you wish for,'' After a minute pause she continued, ''Twilight, what do you wish for?''
''Nothing,'' replied Twilight, without hesitation. ''There's no reason to over think it, if I have to kill her. I will just kill her''
''Also, here's a riddle for you,'' the mare clicked a button on the cell phone she was holding. Twilight's phone blazed. The unicorn grabbed it. On the screen was written, 'The world is full of_________' from Celestia.
''Curses?''
''Buzzzz, wrong. Curses, you really are stupid,''
''Does it matter?''
''Hey, Twilight. Live to kill or kill to live, which one would you pick? Or would you make use of your useless life?''
''Idiot. I got no idea where your going,''
Twilight walked from the entrance of the enormous Canterlot Academy as the Celestia told her via cell call.
''Canterlot Academy, a huge campus that works with elementary, middle, high and university. Your in the 'Black' class which isn't used much. You need to find and kill the target. If you need help, ask the judge,''
''Judge?''
''One student and the chairwoman,''
Twilight walked through the hall. A voice lingered in the air. She moved closer to the classroom where the voice was coming from. Looking inside, she saw a pink earth pony mare. The mare had darker pink hair that despite being fluffy, was tied back into two pigtails. The ribbons holding them back were blue just like the mare's eyes.
''Student number one, Twilight Sparkle,''''Student number two, Rarity Belle. 'Student number three, Dinky Hooves. Student number four, Scootaloo, hmm..No surname written....,student number five, Photo Finish. Student number six, Apple Jack,''''Student number seven, Luna Night,''
Twilight stared at the girl as she continued to read out the names.
''Student number 10, Split Cream. Student number 11, Queen's Lady. Student number 12, Fluttershy Animal.....student number 13, Pinkie Pie or full name Pinkamena Diane Pie,'' stated the mare, taking a pause before adding on, ''Pinkie will graduate for certain,''
Pinkie looked over to Twilight and smiled.
''Are you in 'Black' class, too?''
''I...Er...'' stuttered Twilight, before running into a earth pony mare. She glared at the mare who crippled.
''What? Home room is starting,'' said the mare.
Only five students were in the classroom in total. Twilight was sat at the back while everypony else was near the front. The teacher, the mare from before was smiling.
''Hi, everypony. My name is Cheerilee Flower, I teach biology. I done home room only a few times before so treat me well,''
''Why didn't I see her before, she's like a normal mare....,'' Twilight's thoughts were shaken when a unicorn mare in the front laughed. The mare had stylish purple hair, a white body and blue eyes that like Twilight had a dagger pupil. Her cutie mark was three gems.
''Mrs is funny, but your not my type. Looking at you, I'd say your no younger then 40 at least,''
''Ehh, Over 40 are too old,'' said a mare in the front. She was a pegasus. Her coat color was oddly black while her mane was blood red and actually appeared to be dripping. Her eyes were a dangerous dagger like orange.
''40 isn't too old,'' started the mare before going dangerous, ''Unless you have a death wish,''
''Sooo scary,'' uttered the pegasus mare, ''Student number 10, Split Cream at your service,''
''Don't fight over me,'' said Cheerilee.
''I guess it's time for introductions. Split has already done hers so it's my turn. Student number 2, Rarity Belle,''
''Hmm, good. Student number 12,'' a yellow pegasus on the second row from the front, right next to the window. She had pink hair with teal eyes.
''I...will do it after a sundown....,'' she whispered.
''Huh?''
''I will do everything...after the sundown...,'' she whispered again before adding, ''Don't make me repeat myself...,''
''Okay then, student number 1,'' Twilight stood up without a single expression on her face.
''My name is Twilight Sparkle, never call me Twilight. I often get asked so I'm telling you now,''
''Did she mean that 'Sparkle','' asked Rarity.
''Who knows,'' answered Split even though she wasn't asked.
''So the last one....,''
''Okay!'' yelled Pinkie, standing up. ''I'm Pinkamena Diane Pie, please call me Pinkie!''
''Pinkamena Diane Pie?'' thought Twilight.
''Umm..Pinkie brought straps for everypony,'' said Pinkie using third pony, blushing as she tried to get the straps from her bag. She eventually did. They were a cute pink heart and had three balloons which was just like the imprint on the full sized vest which included some short skirt that covered the top half on her back hooves and sleeves that Pinkie wore.
''Oh, thanks!'' said Split.
''I don't need one, they look lame!'' said Rarity. In the end, everypony got one on their desks.
''I don't need it. I will depose of it later,''
Standing in front of a window, Twilight stared at the message riddle. She heard a voice.
''It's amazing isn't it?'' Twilight turned to see Split, ''I mean, the builders get injured at lot or how there legends about a graveyard underground. Say, we should team up, I will be your underling,''
''How you confirmed the target?'' Twilight asked, coldly.
''At least I know it's not you, you have a unpleasant smell,''
''You, too. It's likely student 13, her scent is different from us,''
''Who knows. But she did come prepared,'' said Split, taking out the heart and balloon strap that Pinkie gave her, ''a GPS or a listening in thing. I don't need it,''
Split throw it out of the window, but then in a flash, Twilight had it in her magic. Split looked shocked.
''Huh?'' wondered Twilight in her head.
''Since you don't want it, is it safe to say that it's mine?'' said Twilight, staring at Split while still holding the strap in her magic.
''Even though, I thought I didn't want it....''
''Then take mine too!''
A strap was flung towards Twilight who caught it in her hoof in a matter of seconds. Standing near them was Rarity.
''You too?''
''I don't want some thing that could listen in on me. I mean, it's likely to be student 13 isn't it?''
''Who knows,'' said Split. Twilight watched them, silently.
''Miss Sparkle!''
It was Pinkamena Diane Pie. Twilight turned.
''I'm Pinkamena Diane Pie, you roommate,'' Pinkie yelled as she stood beside Twilight, ''Wanna walk to the dorms together?''
''I don't mind...,''
They began walking. Twilight looked at Pinkie who was going on about something.
''Pinkie wants to gruadlate from 'Black' class,''
''That's your wish?'' asked Twilight, confused.
''Uh....Yep!''
Then a voice broke the area.
''Pinkie! Twilight!''
It was Split, she was standing in front of the entrance to the dorms. Pinkie ran over.
''Split Cream!''
''Just call me Split. Twilight so lucky to be sharing with you, Pinkie!''
''Don't!'' it was Twilight. The two mares looked at her, confused. ''Don't call me Twilight, call me Miss Sparkle,''
''Eh, why?!'' yelled Split, annoyed.
''No can do,'' said Twilight, grinning slightly.''What's with this pegasus? She smells like a rotten sea.''
''Miss Twilight,''
Both mares blinked and then looked at Pinkie who had broke into the short argument, she was blushing.
''H-how about 'Miss Twilight'?'' asked Pinkie, nervously.
''Do as you wish,''
They walked into the hotel like dorm room.
''Wow! It's like a hotel!'' yelled Pinkie.
Pinkie then ran into the bedroom part.
''Miss Twilight? Which bed do you want?'' she then noticed that she had lay on one already, ''sorry, I lay down on one...,''
''I don't care,'' said Twilight before her eyes went wide.
On Pinkie's legs just below the skirt was a scar going all the way round both back hooves. And one of her flank. You could now see the cutie mark, it was 3 balloons but they were cut in half by a huge scar.
''Knife wounds?'' said Twilight, getting closer, ''show me,''
''Oh..,'' said Pinkie, blushing at the closeness, ''there from a former accident that put me in hospital,''
''I understand,'' said Twilight. But she soon made a flash move. The skirt lifted, showing the scars even more.
Pinkie blushed scarlet as she screamed, ''Miss twilight....your a bully,''
Twilight picked up the dorm book she had been given. Pinkie walked into the main room and saw the roll call.
''Hey, is the the roll call book form the dorms?!''
''Yea..,''
''Pinkie will help you!''
''I don't need help,''
''We're roommates. Roommates are meant to help each other,'' said Pinkie as if she knew everything about roommates.
''I don't need it,''
Yet despite Twilight telling Pinkie not to come, Pinkie still did and was in from the Twilight who was just staring coldly had the words on the roll call.
''Roll call, everypony!'' yelled Pinkie Pie. She went over to a door and knocked on it. The door burst open to reveal a orange earth pony with blonde hair in a plait. She had green eyes and was wearing a cowfilly's hat.
''Applejack, so you arrived?'' said Twilight, not caring that Pinkie was on the floor, rubbing at the back of her head.
''Oh, you know me?''
''Considering your not Rarity, I figured it out,''
''Oh, Mistress Rarity is in the bath right now,''
''Mistress?'' mumbled Twilight as she watched Applejack help Pinkie up. Applejack gripped harder onto the pink mare's hoof.
''These hoofs aren't made to do bad things right?''
''Pinkie doesn't do bad things,''
''Hey, dorm manager. Want a chocolate?'' asked Applejack to Twilight.
''No,'' Twilight began walking off.
''Take them instead!'' yelled Applejack, throwing 4 chocolate sticks towards Twilight.
Twilight twisted and with the roll call book, she was holding, hit the chocolate sticks and they crumbled to the ground.
''Ohh! Nice reflections,''
''Miss Applejack, you shouldn't throw food,''
''Sorry,'' said Applejack placing a hoof on Pinkie's head.
Twilight and Pinkie continued walking down the hall. Soon, a mare and a filly past them. The mare was cyan and a rainbow tomboyish mane and tail. Her eyes were magenta. The foal was a orange pegasus with purple hair and eyes. The filly was carrying a teddy.
''Good evening,'' said the filly politely.
''You too,'' said Pinkie, with her eyes closed. She opened them to see the pony she had been talking to was just a filly.
''A elementary schooler, why is she here?''
''Ele...uhhh...,'' muttered the 'foal'.
''This filly is in the black class like us,'' said the mare.
''A classmate!?'' said Pinkie before bowing. ''Nice to meet you!''
''Rainbow Dash, student number 9,''
''Scootaloo, student number 4,'' said the 'foal'. Twilight looked at the roll call which stated the two mares to be in the same room.
''Miss Twilight, you should smile more. Beauties look cuter smiling!'' said Pinkie, smiling herself as if to prove the point. Twilight got a whiff of the smell that allowed her to think that Pinkie was the target.
''You smell....,''
''Ehh! I smell, what of?'' screamed Pinkie, sniffing herself.
''I didn't mean it like that. You smell like dust, I could sneeze,''
''Ehh,''
''Don't you know, that's the scent of the sun,'' said what sounded like a insane voice.
The mares turned to see student number 12 but her normal eyes had faded into dagger pupils like Twilight's.
''What are you doing?''
''Introducing myself. It's nighttime so I'm gonna,'' said 12.''I'm Butchershy, in the light, I'm Fluttershy,''
''Huh?'' muttered both mares.
Later, Pinkie lay in her bed, looking out of it till.
''Pinkamena,''
''Huh? H-hai!''
''Can you answer this?'' said Twilight, showing Pinkie the riddle she had gotten.
''Hmm, a riddle. Is there a hint?''
''None,'' explained Twilight, she closed it and said. ''Don't worry, you don't have to answer,''
''Forgiveness. If I had to pick, I would say forgiveness,''
Split sat up on the rooftop to Canterlot Academy, looking at the setting sun.
''The time has come huh?'' she muttered.
