Rarity's New Contacts (FGTS sequel)
The Proscecution Meeting
Previous ChapterNext ChapterDark Side trotted slowly into the cold, threatening room. There was a large table in the middle, holding some of the best minds in Equestria. Each of them turned their head as Dark Side made his way to the ten foot chair where it looked like someone of importance would reside.
Dark Side walked in wearing a red uniform with a plain black shirt underneath and has multiple silver items on his shirt that looked like badges. His right foreleg was obscured by a white gauze, indicating he may have broken sprained something. His hair was also also a bit tattered, unpleasant it usually is, neat and clean.
Dark Side sat down calmly in the cold chair. A black magic aura surrounded a nearby gavel as he slammed it onto the pedestal in front of him. He then proceeded to cross his front forelegs on the pedestal.
"This meeting of the Proscecutorial Investigation Committee will now come to order!" Dark Side said loudly as his words attracted the attention of the rest of the individual in the room. All heads turned his way and he then noticed a few distinctions from the rest of them.
One was Twilight Sparkle, which was very shocking, considering she was a defense attorney. Not only that, but she seemed to be looking at him like she was puzzled about something. For whatever reason she tied her bangs in the back of her head into a ponytail and she wore reading glasses. Dark Side figured she must've heard that the Prosecutorial Investigation Committee oversaw and had the authority to pass on or deny any laws a leader of Equestria makes. She must've heard today's topic would be chakra control.
Another standout was a wolf, his back against a wall at the door of the room. He had a white pelt and Dark green eyes. He also had a badge on, indicating he was with the International Royal Guard. Dark Side recognized him as Kiba Lang, and old friend of his. Very often he was arrogant and a bit self-centered but he was as always loyal to those that he trusts, making him the ideal choice for the Assistant Captain of the Royal Guard.
The last individual that stood out was a bit unprecedented.
Starshooter. In the front right seat of the committee table was his long lost younger brother. Dark Side wasn't even sure how he got in there, considering he had next to nothing to do with Equestrian law. He looked at Dark Side quizzically, as if he wasn't sure what to make of him. It has been awhile since they'd seen each other. He broke all contract with his family when Dark Side started prosecuting. That. Would mean he was missing for about 8 years.
"The first subject that Princess Luna wanted us to discuss is Chakra control. In the absence of Princess Celestia, Luna now makes the calls for what this committee is to discuss. So I adhere you all to abide by this and answer all questions truthfully, as this is a very highly controversial topic." Dark Side explained in a regal tone, indicating how deadly serious. He was going to take this topic.
Twilight Sparkle's eyes widened as she heard the word 'Chakra' mentioned and it looked as though she was about to say something but she apparently had second thoughts, and shook off the urge to object.
"Now then. You all know what Chakra is, I trust. But in the presence of the new council witness, Starshooter, who is sitting to my far right," Dark Side explained, mentioning a hoof at his distraught-looking younger brother, who stood up so that everypony in the room knew who he was. "Chakra resides in...a select few ponies bodies. In order for a pony to have chakra, they must have been either born from the blood of one of the Royal families, whether it be Senji or Moonlit, or they must've been transferred it by someone who has it. Do you understand Starshooter? I won't go further unless you do y'know?" Dark Side asked, to which the teal pony responded with his head nodding.
"Sonata!" Dark Side called as his most trusted assistant trotted up to his seat. "Please bring me the brief regarding this meeting and a cup of coffee with sugar cubes on the side.
"Yes sir." Sonata responded leaving the room and coming back a few seconds afterwards, green magic surrounding a teacup set and a royal scroll. She sat the both of them down in front of Dark Side before bowing and leaving the room, but not before Dark Side thanked her.
"The brief hereby states that we consider the....elimination of all witholders of chakra?!" Dark Side exclaimed in surprise. He figured eventually one of the princesses would pull something like this. But what they didn't know is that Dark Side is the highest ranking official in the law department, so he technically had the final say, even though he could be overridden by the rest of the council if more than 3/4 were to vote in favor.
"Wait Dark Side." Started Kiba Lang from the corner as he trotted out towards the table. "Maybe you just misinterpreted that. Why would she want to rid the world of holders of Chakra? If she did that the Royal Guard would..." Kiba trailed off as he saw the overly serious look Dark Side had on his face. He knew Dark Side wasn't in the mood for assumptions that weren't supported by valid evidence.
"I am absolutely sure that this is what she is suggesting. Thinking it over, it seems she's trying to make the world peaceful as it once was, considering it's state before Chakra was introduced. But we must not overclock the fact that Luna's Chakra control abilities have also come into question in the past. That Nightmare Moon incident shall not be forgotten for many years to come." Dark Side explained, trying to sway the members of the Prosecutorial Investigation Committee to vote against Luna's proposal.
"I will allow a fifteen minute break and everyone's choices must be decided by then, so if not, you will be apprehended by Sir Lang over there for interrupting an international investigation. This meeting will hereby reconvene in fifteen minutes. The meeting is now adjourned!" Dark Side stated, slamming the gavel onto the pedestal once more, signifying that the meeting was over, for now at least.
Dark Side retreated from his seat behind the pedestal only to be confronted by his little l e brother.
"Dark Side?" Asked Starshooter, still unsure whether to call him that or not.
"Yeah Starshooter. How you been?" Dark Side asked his little brother. He hadn't seen him ever since he was a little colt, when the two fought Madara to protect Fluttershy. But that was a story for another time. Starshooter hadn't changed much. He still had that distinct teal coat, same dandelion hair, same dark red eyes. It seemed like he literally had not changed in the least, besides his height.
"I um...need to know what happened to mother!" Starshooter said shyly at first but determined to get his answer.
"Well, uh, y'know...Y'see? Um... the uh." Dark Side said struggling to find the right words. All of the sudden, there was a giant explosion sound, followed by a scream of a mare.
"Who?!" Starshooter exclaimed
"I dunno but we gotta go see! C'mon!" Dark Side yelled back jogging into the foyer in record time. As his raced down the stairs he saw blood on the ground below. As his hooves hit the marble floor below him, he noticed that he had stepped in blood. Then he noticed the owner of the blood.
Twilight zoomed past him and leaned her ear onto the fallen dark blue alicorn's unmoving body.
"She's... dead..." Twilight said in a low murder mourning the death of Princess Luna.
"This isn't possible...!" Dark Side said, clearly in disbelief.
As they all stood there in utter disbelief, a bell rung, indicating the reconvention of the meeting.
"Dark Side. Get everyone inside of the meeting room. It couldn't have been anyone but someone in the building NOW!" Kiba screamed at Dark Side.
"Everyone in!" Dark Side said leading everyone back into the room.
Author's Note
Yeah...thought I'd go ahead and try this scenario before a fight. So Luna's been murdered and there are less that 10 suspects, most of which have an alibi. Pretty sure we all know where this is going. Thanks for reading.
