The Vengeful Guardians: the mercs of justice

The police sirens rang loudly in her ears but she didn't care. Silent Rose ran to the rubble and started to madly throw parts of the rubble everywhere in her search.

“Hey!” a purple pulse blew the rubble off Matterhorn's shield which had protected all six members including the still unconscious Saddle ranger. Zapp raised her hoof at the metal changeling and shouted again. “Hey criminal mare, I'm talking to you.”

Rose didn't pay attention and just kept searching. She heard a moan and dashed for it pulling up a large ventilation shaft.

“T~~~wo h~oov~es” Two hooves moaned out his spiral eyes facing two other directions and a large swelling bump on his head.

“Dammit!” She threw him away only to be caught by Matterhorn's grip.

"R-uby." Her ears flicked at the faint moan and morphed her hoof into a hammer smashing her way through until she saw tattered coat sleeve covered forearm. She grabbed it and pulled Red horn free holding him close.

”You're...okay...that's..great.” Red horn said with a painful chuckle that turned into cough that leaked a little blood from the cracks in his helmet before he went limp in her grip.

“listen.” Matterhorn demanded the knocked out two hooves on her back. “I can help him and you but, only if-”

“I'll do whatever you want, just heal him please!” Silent Rose yelled frantically gripping him close. Matterhorn lifted her head and raised her wings with a calming breath.

“I want you two to surrender to us and proper authorities, and answer any questions-”

“He's bleeding out I'll do what you say!” The changeling screamed frantically metal spikes growing randomly from her body. Twilight hesitantly allowed her horn to take green glow before showering the two and green sparks.

Red horn groaned and moaned as his eyes opened to hazy vision of gray.

“Wh..what happened?” He tried to move his legs but thry were chained to the bench he sat on.

“You idiot” He looked up seeing his partner chained up by thrice the chains he had and what looked like a shock collar around her neck. Her mask and hood had been pulled away revealing her beautiful completely amber eyes that glared at him. “Why did you do that?”

“I just didn't... want you to...get hurt.” He said hesitantly. To avoid her gaze he looked at himself his jacket was gone his guns were gone but his armor was gone aside from the under suit he wore under it and he guessed from his darkened cracked vision his damaged helmet was still on. ”Guess the idiots couldn't get it off.”

“I have a metal body, i could have shielded you” Red horn sighed as looked away from her.

“I just forgot okay.” Silent Rose narrowed her eye at him in a glare.

‘That's an excuse and you know it Crescent, your not an idiot.” Red horn looked back at her shushing her.

“You know not to say our real-” Crescent stopped short as the changeling sniffed and held back. “I'm sorry okay, i just worry about you Ruby.”

“And you don't think i worry about you.” Runy clenched her eyes shut letting a few tears slip down her cheeks. “What you did back there was nearly suicidal!”

Crescent cringed and looked away from her again not be able to look at her in the eye.

“I'm...so..sorry” Crescent stuttered out but when he heard her sniff again his head snapped back to her looking her straight in the eye.

“Ruby please don't cry because of me.” He tried to reach for her but only pulled the chain. He tried to reach out for her with his magic but was given a shock by his own electric coller.

“C..cr..crescent!” Ruby shouted seeing him fall back as the shocking stopped.

“Your wrong about me i am an idiot, so let this idiot make it up to you.” Hearing his words Ruby tried her best to dry her eyes with the her mane before trying to reach for him her chains constricting her.

“I'm gonna figure out how to get us out of here, then no jobs for a month just you and me.” Crescent said leaning as close to her as possible.

“But you know Arkmane will cover his ass and not pay us.” Ruby said matter factly with a final sniff.

“So what I'll dig into our savings.” Crescent said smiling under his damaged helmet.

“But Crescent, our plan.” Ruby said with concern but Crescent just laughed a gentle laugh.

“Yeah but if it gets you to smile again, I'd say it's worth the setback.” Ruby gave a small laugh at that.

“Your right, you are an idiot.” They both laughed together smiling until the the truck came to a stop and the doors open. Several armed guards came in with shock sticks and attached metal bindings to them both and dragging them both out.

“Resist and will shock you.” one guard shoved his shock baton into Crescent's chest making him roar in pain.

“Hey stop!” Ruby shouted before getting baton broken across her head.

“Hit her and die!” Crescent roared before he was dragged into a special wheelchair that had hydraulic locks keeping each of his limbs in place.

“Yeah yeah!” Another guard laughed out before shocking him again.

Ruby sat chained to a chair in the middle of the white hospital room. Two guards were next to her and two more were standing by the door. After a few minutes of sitting in silence the door opened and Matterhorn stepped inside with a doctor.

“What are we doing here?” Ruby asked. One of the guard moved to hit her but he was stopped when Matterhorn used her magic to pull the shock baton from his grip.

“She is allowed to speak.” Matterhorn said before tapping the guard on the head giving him a small shock. “Anyway, we thought it best to let a few of the doctors take a look at you and your associate to make sure that both of you are mentally healthy.”

“Your psychoanalyzing us?” Ruby asked blowing her mane out of her eyes.

“Yes we are. If you cooperate then we can have this done quickly.” The changeling just rolled her eyes at the hack doctor.

“Now Then, is Silent Rose your real name or an ailas?” Ruby just kept her flat stare at the doctor not moving an inch.

“Ummm...is this Silent Rose you or do see that name as another persona?” Ruby still remained silent.

“Okay new question were you born that way, or did something happen not to be rude but you don't look like a normal changeling?” Ruby lazily looked out the barred window staring out into space. The doctor grumbled before putting his clipboard down smiling and faking a laugh hoping to lighten her mood.

“Okay um, does the carpet match the drapes?” for his joke he received a shot of changeling spit right in the eye.

“Pervert!” She yelled her voice breaking and cheeks turning pink.

“Ok fuck it send her to the meta pony prison for all i care.”

“Um shouldn't you do a proper psychoanalysis of her?” Matterhorn asked worried receiving a neigh from the doctor.

“Hey she doesn't want to answer the questions, it's not my problem if she gets eaten in prison.”

Matterhorn walked down the hall a bit to Crescent’s room outside she saw the doctor that was supposed to be analyzing him.

“Doctor is something wrong? Shouldn’t you be giving your evaluation to the patient.”

“I would miss but I can’t properly give the evaluation if I can’t see his face, however we can’t seem to remove his helmet and is refusing to tell anyone how.” Arkmane walked out and stood next to the doctor his mane slicked and eyes full of confidence.

“Normally we call someone with Spark labs over but it seem their busy with something miss Matterhorn.” Matterhorn gave an awkward grin.

“Wow that sure is weird.” Ignoring her awkward laughter Arkmane smiled confidently.

“But i called a local company and you won't believe who volunteered to help us!” Just as he excitedly shouted a door was slammed open as a grey unicorn stallion of average height with medium length messy black mane and tail wearing a bright orange scarf that matched his eyes wrapped around his mouth and neck

“Are you...Ocean Stardust?” Matterhorn asked. ”What’s the c.e.o of Stardust industries doing here?”

“Yes, now please I don’t have a lot of time to spare, may I enter the room please?” Matterhorn nodded to the guards at the door and watched as Ocean entered the room through the pane of one way glass.

“Good luck techie.” A guard inside said to Ocean. “We’ve been trying to get that thing off for almost fifteen minutes. Nothing will make it budge.”

Ocean looked over the helmet. Meanwhile Crescent turned his head slightly and spoke.

“Who's this asshole?” Ocean glared at the mercenary before his horn glowed and pulled a laptop from his saddle bags and connected a usb cord to the helmet before magically typing.

“I heard about what happened between you and the Power Ponies, i admit standing against them like you did is quite impressive, And this helmet of yours is quite complex since the last time i saw.” Then with a his the back of the helmet segmented and folded upwards separating from the suit from the and Ocean lifted it off Crescent’s head. “I’ll have to take a look at it after the authorities confiscate it.”

As the helmet left his head a long mangy spiked red and blue mane spilled forth and a red slitted glared down at Ocean with a sneer revealing a lair of small fangs.

”Girls girls!” Twilight screamed frantically over her team's psychic link.

”Darling what's happening?”

”Sugarcube calm down and explain”

”Somepony call Moon knight we've found him, we found New moon!”

Ten years ago

“Eep!” The still freshly dubbed Masked Matterhorn jumped back from the sword of strike of a hooded black assassin with a purple and green hood.

“Get away from her!” A stallion in the guise of a knight wearing purple and gold armor marked on the chest with the equestrian flag his face concealed by a spartan helm shadowing his face only leaving only two glowing orbs of blue visible. He tossed his kite shield with the symbol of equestria his horn aglow making several magic copies bash away the ninjas before returning the shield to his leg.

“Thanks shin-, i mean Captain Equestria” Twilight adjusted her little indigo mask before smiling at her big brother.go mask. An alicorn mare her wings wrapped in a flowing green blue and pink cape and wearing a simple red costume with gold stripes crawling up her legs and body meeting the Sun over a purple shield on her chest the only part of her pure white coat showing being her face with her floating mane the same colors of her mane.

“Don’t worry just take baby steps, Matterhorn” She winked at the little filly making her nod.

“I'll make you proud Solar mare!” beams of intense heat  shot from Solar mare's eyes flying over the little Matterhorn melting the  sword of a ninja behind her. “what?”

“Solar mare, I'm sorry she isn't-” The good Captain stopped short as his little sister froze the ninja solid.

“I said I'm gonna make her proud and i will, so don't worry about me.” She puffed out her cheeks firing a barrage of magic missiles at several ninjas.

“Still there's a lot of them!” Captain yelled bashing one into a wall.

“Do not worry.” Solar mare said simply. “i called for backup.”

Moon shaped rained from the sky at the hooves of the ninjas exploding into rubber cement trapping them place.

“Do you really require my assistance?” Matterhorn jumped at the sudden Appearance of another alicorn mare slightly shorter than Solar mare. She wore black cap connected to hood that glittered as if it were made from the night sky, over a suit of arof black armor and dark blue spandex with a silver crescent emblem on her chest.

“Maybe, and maybe i just don't get to you see you enough.” Solar mare said coyly making Moon knight glare at her with her void white eye slits the only thing visible from the hood besides her dark blue covered horn and muzzle guard. Her eyes then went to Matterhorn making the little filly flinch.

“New sidekick?” Moon Knight asked.

“As a matter of fact, yes. I have seen what she can do I think she can go far with the right guidance.”

“Hmm.” Moon Knight said as she looked Matterhorn over. “Young but you can certainly see the spark in her eyes, she’s a determined one that’s for sure.”

“You speak as though you’ve seen the same thing in somepony else.” Solar Mare said.

“Perhaps I have. What of it?” Moon Knight asked with a smile that Solar Mare returned.

“Well you’ve seen mine, now it’s only fair you show me yours.” Moon knight voice filled with pride as several Shadow league assassins started to drop from the sky like flies. “But unlike yours sister, he has more than just determination.”

An assassin landed in front of Matterhorn making her jump.

“Don’t scream little filly.” A young cocky voice said before a blur of white landed on the assassin dropping him face first into the asphalt. A young colt said standing up from the fallen assassin he wore a similar costume to his mentor only white armor with gold accents over black spandex the only thing obscuring his black coated face was a white indigo mask with gold eye's . ”New Moon is here.”

His slightly curved horn glowed red before in flash of red appeared in front of a shadow league assassin delivering a roundhouse across to their jaw knocking them out. New moon grabbed the short katana from the knocked out assassin and clashed it with the blade of another.

“Just because I'm new, don't underestimate me.” New moon laughed out before kicking the much larger shadow league stallion in the chest before grabbing the assassin's longsword dual wielding the two blades before giving the large stallion a hollow “x” slash across the chest making the assassin howl in pain. Smirking New moon smashed the handles of the swords against the assassin's head making his eyes roll back falling limp.

New Moon turned to face the other assassins as he continued to smile under his mask.

“Anyone else? Come on I’m just a kid.” New Moon said.

As he stood there the assassins looked around at each other, some of the backing up a bit while other just ran away.

“Cowards.” The head assassin said under his breath which caused New Moon to chuckle.

“I couldn’t agree more.” New Moon chuckled until Moon Knight walked up next to him and placed a hoof on his shoulder.

“Calm down New Moon, there is no need for them all to fall, they may join their fleeing comrades if they wish.”

“True.” New Moon magic flared red flinging the swords into the leader's shoulders making him scream until receiving a strong punch from Moon knight knocking him out.

“Excellent work New Moon.” Moon Knight said as New moon bowed to her.

“Yes mam.” He said smiling confidently as he kneeled down in front of her as a knight would to his queen.

“So he's the newest New moon, which one is he the ninety fifth or sixth?” Captain Equestria asked looking at the colts slightly curved horn cautiously.

“Ninety fourth!” New Moon proclaimed standing tall. He pulled down his hood revealing his tide back red mane with a navy pony tail and his ears with fluffy tufts on his ears smiling revealing the little cute fangs he had.

“*Gasp*, a vesper I'd never thought I'd see one of those.” Twilight said under her breath making New Moon’s ears flicker hardening his expression slightly and snort before smiling again and turning to the purple filly making her jump.

“Hey pretty filly, just because you're only the second to hold that name don't underestimate me!” Captain Equestria placed a protective hoof in front of his sister.

“Hey what's your problem?” New moon laughed again at him. He peeled his mask off revealing a pair of gold and red slitted eyes making Matterhorn stare right into them out of curiosity. He winked at Matterhorn whose eyes widened as she looked away.

“Let me just say this to start Captain, I'm fairly strong.” Moon knight slapped the back of his head as she sighed.

“Put your mask back on now Crescent.” She said with a strict authoritarian voice making him bow again his confidence disappearing for obedience.

“Yes mam, sorry mam!” He placed his mask back on and kneeled to her again

“I thought he was dead.” Twilight whispered under her breath as Crescent formerly known to her as glared at everypony.

“Please everyone let's settle down.” The psychiatrist said sitting in front of the stallion as the guards worked to get off his suit handling him more like a wild animal then a pony as they took it off and chained him to the floor.

“So Red horn tell us is that your real name?” The psychiatrist asked taking a peek at the mark on his flank golden crescent moon overlaid two crossed red swords.

“No it's off, first name fuck.” The psychiatrist laughed at him.

“Oh good you have sense of humor, tell me are you mutant or were those deformities a cosmetic choice?”

“Are you calling me deformed?” Crescent asked with a growl his long mane spilling over his face.

“Well you are aren't you, we know your unicorn with that functional horn and last time i check bat ponies have wings not a horn, so either you're a mutation or a pretender.” The psychiatric pony then laughed again as he finished his sentence. “But then the latter raises the question, why would a unicorn pretend to be one of those mongrels.”

Crescent and Ocean gave the stallion a death glare before the former threw his head back  and released a loud screech that made all the ponies in the room except Ocean who rolled his eyes as everypony fell to ground.

“How's he doing that!?” A guard tried to smack Crescent but he dodged and bit down on the un-barded side of his sleeve the fangs biting through easily staining the pearly whites with the guards blood.

“Argg, the bastards got me!” Crescent bite down further causing the guard to drop his baton. As Crescent growled around the guards blood an orange aura of magic clenched around his nose.

“Let him go, Crescent Wilson Blade” Crescent glared up at Ocean when he whispered into the vesper’s ear. He let go of the guards leg and spit out his blood

“How the hell do you know my name” Crescent questioned as the injured guard made his way out the door to get help with his profusely bleeding leg.

“As soon as your cutie mark was revealed i my laptop recorded it.” He lifted up the device revealing picture of his cutie mark next to a picture of a much younger Crescent.

“And thanks to a simple program of mine it looked up for the owner of said mark, i admit your good at covering your tracks, but no one starts out that good.” Ocean held no pride in his voice and took no gloating gesture with his speech. He merely looked down at the chained vesper with a flat stare. “So i wasn't surprised when i found several mug shots and a missing child report from here in Goth'thorn about an orphan born from criminals.”

“Don’t you dare lecture me.” Crescent said with a low growl.

“May i please be alone with him?” Ocean said as he packed up his laptop and cables. His scarf making it difficult for Crescent to get a read on him.

“Mister Stardust I ensure you that's very dangerous.” Arkmane said over the rooms intercom.

“I'll donate your asylum a blank check.” Ocean said with an eye roll.

“You heard him men leave the room.” Arkmane said the guards exiting the room in a speedy fashion.

“That's incredibly stupid and dangerous Arkmane he-” Arkmane shushed Matterhorn with a wave of his hoof.

“Don’t worry, were all outside and we have perfect view through this two way glass.” Arkmane slicked his mane back as he stared at the two unicorns staring each other down.

“Well?” Crescent sneered at him his long mane falling over eyes only revealing the red one. Ocean only reached under his scarf with a hoof.

“Sir we lost audio.” a guard said monitoring the equipment of the room.

“Don’t worry he's a non-meta and fully chained.” Arkmane sat back relaxing.

“Actually Red horn displayed a power to make sword constructs.” Matterhorn looked over at him.

“I read your report Matterhorn, the power is connected to his magic which is restrained and those chains have held the Maneac, so me and my boys are going to sit back and enjoy our easy payday.” Arkmane smiled at Matterhorn's annoyed look.

“Good they can't hear us.” Ocean sighed putting his hoof down.

“What do you want?” Crescent got as comfortable as the chains allowed closing his eyes.

“I want answers.” Ocean answered glaring at him.

“Really, i would've never guessed.” Crescent spat out sarcastically blowing his mane out of his face absentmindedly. Ocean took a calming breath before speaking.

“My father was thestral.” Ocean pulled out a small little device from his scarf with his telekinesis.

“And your jealous that you're not a vesper like me.” Crescent gave a throaty chuckle at him cracking his red eye open at him.

“No it means I'm not as ignorant as that “Doctor” about thestrals.”

“What you think that earns you my respect?” Crescent said aggressively as he pulled at his chains.

“No.” Ocean said flatly. “I just wanted you to know that I get you, at least to an biological extent.”

Crescent raised a brow to Ocean’s for that. “And that tells you what about myself?”

“I know more then anyone in this asylum with the possible exception of your compatriot.”

“What are you talking about?” Crescent asked.

“Did you ever stop to think about your actions and the results they have.” Crescent opened both eyes to stare at him.

“What do you think you know?” He glared at Ocean with his golden eye.

“For starters i know that other eye was red, i can tell it was changed by a spell with the sclera damage.” Ocean adjusted his scarf huffing.

“Most likely to avoid identification after Crescent Blade age eight committed assault on several foals and ran from the law.” Ocean showed an old newspaper clipping that he kept in a scarf showing a picture of a mugshot of Crescent much younger bandages wrapped around his eye and head.

Local colt hospitalizes five others in school fight and has escaped custody please call police if spotted.

“How nostalgic, you're close but wrong my eye is a result of that fight.” Crescent said with pride laughing proudly. “That bastard blasted my eye, so i crushed his windpipe.”

“Not surprised, you seem the power hungry type.”

“Says the man who once had a monopoly.” Crescent shot back.

“This is not about the actions of my company, this is about us!” Ocean snapped making Crescent smile.

“I don’t see how the origin of my eye involves you.” Crescent said before a his eye's widened feeling his eardrums ring with a stinging sound.

“Don’t interrupt me, i know the weaknesses of thestrals even of your living weapon subspecies.” Ocean held a pen like object in his magic glaring at Crescent who wreathed in pain. He flicked it off causing the ringing in Crescent's head to stop. “After your assault, Crescent blade disappeared, with only a few sightings of a pony resembling around Goth’thorn over three years mostly around acts of young gang violence before disappearing entirely.”

“To be honest, I'd rather you kill me with your toy then bore me to-rah!” Crescent reeled back in pain as the ringing started again silencing him before stopping.

“That colt disappeared off the face of the map for eight years until the war against Yakyakastan happened with a massive draft for every able bodied stallion in equestria and companies like my families were asked to help.” Ocean glared at Crescent who breath raggedly. “So imagine for a certain project connected to my family's company, a stallion under the name Blade Wilson was registered, and a black unicorn with a navy mane at that.”

“If you're asking if i fought in that war, the answer is yes nearly every stallion my age did.”

“That’s not what i asked.”

“Well then enlighten me, what are you asking, because that scarf crap is getting annoying.”

“I’m asking you to tell me the truth about who you are, I’m almost certain my assumptions are correct but I can’t be sure unless you prove me right, I want you to tell me that you are who I think you are.”

“Why do you give a damn about who I am or what I do, you’re the top dog of a big fancy company that makes more money than anyone could ever hope to hear about in their entire lives, what do I have to do with you, why do you care so damn much about me?”

Ocean raised the pen again but he didn’t emit the the tone. Instead he breathed a heavy sigh before turning so he was facing completely away from the window before he pulled down his scarf allowing Crescent to see his whole face.

“The serum was made to create a squad of suto-super soldiers with special armor and helmets, but it was considered a disappointment by most the serum barely affected most of them.” Ocean started to shake in place while Cresent stared at him oddly. “All except for one, one who killed all the other soldiers and the scientists all of them had blade wounds, except the lead sci..scientist who...was killed executioner style!”

“So?” Crescent rolled his eyes not taking a stuttering stallions shout seriously.

“You killed an innocent mare like a mons-”

“Ha!” Crescent clenched his eyes close as he laughed. “That mare was not innocent.”

“Bastard.” He clicked the pen making Crescent ears ring. But the vesper continued to smile his eyes becoming dilated and bloodshot. “Admit you killed that mare so you'd be the only one, tell me you power hungering bastard tell me why you killed her!”

“Ven...ven...ven..” Crescent rasped out his fanged smile remaining strong.

“Tell me!” Ocean shouted getting in Crescent's face.

“Vengeance!” Crescent roared before going for Ocean's neck his fangs gleaming.

“Stop!” Matterhorn shouted her amplified voice shattering the two way window a purple glow grabbing Crescent by his jaws stopping him.

Ocean quickly pulled his scarf back over his muzzle as he and Crescent glared at each other. Matterhorn pushed Crescent down to the floor as Ocean stepped toward the door.

“I think it’s time I take my leave.” He said as he returned his pen to his scarf and picked up his laptop across his back before leaving the room without another word.

All was silent as the guards surrounded Crescent and Matterhorn pondered what just unfolded.

“Well that was exciting.” Arkmane said as he stepped into the room himself a little shaken his ego wavering a bit. “Certainly less boring the most of my hospital trips.” Matterhorn turned to look at Crescent who had lost his smirk.

“What happened?” She asked. Crescent was silent.

“Tell me what happened!” She asked again. Crescent looked at her before speaking.

“I want to see ru- Silent Rose.”

“You're in no position to be making demands.”

“Nether are you” Crescent said his smirk returning ever so slightly. “I know you won't torture me, it's not in your nature.”

“it's no use he's simply a crazy beast who needs to be lock-” Arkmane immediately shuted up and backed away in fear as Crescent snapped his fanged maw right at Arkmane nose.

“Oh shut the hell up you coward!” Crescent yelled getting restrained by several guards and the magic of Matterhorn.

“Hey fifty shades of purple I'll tell you this much.” Crescent pointed his hoof at Arkmane who gestured to his guards for something.

“That coward hi- rgghhrmmm!” Crescent yelled as a muzzle was forced on him muffling his speech.

“Such a foul mouth was probably about to call me a homophobic slur.” Arkmane regained his composure as he faced Matterhorn. “Wouldn't you agree?”

“Yes most likely.” Matterhorn said dismissively before moving away toward Crescent who only growled at them both.

“Don’t worry about your friend, she's being transferred to Moon rock.” He jumped at that glaring at her. “Don’t worry i have friend who will make sure she's safe and out of general population.”

He calmed down but his glare remained.

“I'll keep her safe, and all i ask is that you'll answer my questions.” He huffed at her before turning away.

“ithwitllkilhyou” he mumbled through his muzzle.

“Transfer him to general population, no buts Matterhorn” Arkmane ordered his guards dragging Crescent away.

“So sugarcube.” Marvelous said sounding concerned. “What were you freaking out about.”

“New moon is here!” Matterhorn said frantically.

“Yeah we got that dear.” Radiance dryly replied.

“Who's that by the way?” Zapp asked digging her hoof into her ear. Everypony stared at her as she layed back lazy and flicked some wax from her ear.

“You still haven't read the history book i wrote?” Matterhorn narrowed her eyes at Zapp who avoided her gaze.

“Maybe, what of it?” Twilight rolled her eyes and sighed.

“New Moon was Moon Knight’s sidekick, New moon was the first sidekick a legacy stretching back to near equestrian colonial times!.”

“Wait you mean?”

“Yes Rainbow he used to be Luna’s sidekick, he used to be a hero.” Twilight said as she looked down the hall that Crescent had been rolled down.

“So what you're saying is he dropped of the edge of the planet and shows back up as a criminal? Some hero.” Twilight awkwardly scratched the back of her head from Rainbow’s small rant.

“More like he died.” Her team looked at her with wide eye's.

“Ah sure sugarcube, i mean the feller seems tough he could have-”

“I was there, i saw him die.” Twilight sighed shaking her head. “By the hooves of Nightmare moon.”

Arkmane smiled a slimy grin as the guards dragged Crescent through the halls his chains now replaced with a straight jacket toward the door pulling a remote from his suit Arkmane clicked it deactivating the locks on said door.

“Remember Red horn try to behave.”

“I will after i break one these guards hooves up your ass.” For his comment the fanged stallion received a punch to his face.

“Aww you poor animal, don’t worry we'll help with those anger issues.” Arkmane petted Crescent’s head making him snarl. “Along with those illusions of me hiring you.”

“I will rip out your kidney’s with a sword.” Arkmane removed his hoof before the vesper could bite into it.

“I’d like to see you try, after lock up in general population”  with a click of the remote the door opened and the guards loosened the straight jacket releasing Crescent’s arm’s before tossing him into the atrium.

“Fresh meat!” Arkmane yelled before the door slammed and the hydraulic locks re-engaged
