Schorl Tourmaline watched as the act went on. Several prominent mares and stallions had turned up for this act. As the magician made a slave have a fake orgasm, the audience roared with laughter and lewd comments. Schorl smiled to herself. "I guess capturing her was worth it!" The magician finally made her sob in agony and pain, and she finally produced milk in a stream from her breasts. The audience roared with delight. Schorl smiled.
"Drinks are on the house tonight!" she yelled.
The audience roared louder with delight, but before they could get up, a crash, thud, and the click of pistols were heard. Everyone froze, and the door burst open. At least 25 different police officers burst into the room, some with riot shields, others in hazmat suits. "FREEZE! MANEHATTAN-CANTERLOT POLICE!" they yelled, and everyone froze. As the cops went about arresting the ponies, including Fancy Pants, Fleur-de-lis, and and other prominent ponies in society, Detective Aegis Blade smiled at Schorl, who glared at him. "Do you even have a warrant for this?" she said angrily. "Matter of fact, we do. This whole place is being shut down!" he said as he unfolded the warrant, then he swept his arm under Schorl's legs, who toppled to the floor. He then placed he in handcuffs, and then went to the hard part. Or in his terms, the most fun part of shutting down this boutique of BDRM.
'Schorl Tourmaline, you are under arrest for prostitution, kidnapping, assault with deadly intent, battery, extortion, bribery, slavery, and 50 other charges. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do will be held against you in a court of law..."
After nearly 15 minutes of evil-intent magic reversal squad working to reverse the spells and crystal heart charm effects on the mares and colts who had been captured, and the psychiatric workers giving them mental checkups, Aegis Blade walked towards the suspect car. The mares and stallions, including Fancy Pants, Fleur-de-lis, Blueblood himself, Lightning Dust, among others, glared and muttered insults at him. Aegis Blade smiled, gave them the single hoof(the finger) at them, and then pounded twice on the side, signaling the car to drive to the county prison. As the van drove off, Aegis looked at the newly rescued slaves, all in blankets and fully clothed, and they were all sipping water. As Schorl walked past them escorted by a heavily armed police guard towards the suspect van reserved just for her, one stood up and spat in her face. "How dare you!" she screamed at the mare. The mare stood stalwart. "You are no longer our master. You ruined our lives and our ponyanity. You deserve to DIE!" she said loudly and clearly. As an officer settled her down and began to take their family's addresses so a letter could be sent notifying them that this mare or stallion was found, the mare looked at Aegis Blade and smiled. Aegis smiled back and proceeded to walk inside.
"Wonder how those evidence techs are doing" he thought to himself as several policeponies walked past, carrying crates of evidence, some carrying mares or stallions that hadn't been led out of the "kennel" yet, he walked into the main room. Ponies were taking photos and videotape, bagging evidence, and gathering contraband. "Detective, we've managed to gather up all the passionfruit juice this society had. Over fifty crates of the stuff." A policepony said to him.
"Good job. make sure that the techs scour every nook and cranny for anything that incriminates these horrible ponies. Leave no stone unturned!" Aegis Blade replied.
The tech saluted, and went back to his work. As he took out his camera, he walked down to the Hazmat techs who were gathering the bodily samples from the torture room, and he walked into Tourmaline's office. He scowled at the crate of sex toys that was on her desk. He put on some gloves, then took photos of her business transactions, office papers, mandates, slave lists, etc.
As he was finishing up, he noticed two alicorns standing in the doorway, accompanied by a policepony.
"Princess Twilight, Princess Cadance, a pleasure to meet you two!" Aegis said with a salute.
"We heard about the raid from Princess Celestia. What exactly went on here?"
"You don't even want to know. Basically this whole "society" was just a slave den/brothel for the rich. A crystal pony was running the whole thing. She was selling slaves, ordinary ponies picked up off of the streets to famous mares and stallions, and using some sort of ritual to take away their free will, which is in my opinion, unforgivable." Aegis said, and Twilight gasped.
"Take away their free will? that's impossible!" Twilight said, horrified.
"It's possible. We found several of these gems that we promptly destroyed. The ponies are recovering, and they are being hospitalized." Aegis said, and both princesses sighed in relief.
"By the way, any of you know a mare named Suri?" Aegis asked.
"My friend Rarity is her rival, but what does she have to do with all this?" Twilight replied.
"She made dresses for the society."
Twilight made a disgusted noise.
"Believe it, I was surprised too." Aegis replied.
"Well, I gotta run. This investigation can't run itself!" Aegis saluted them once more, and walked out.
As he stepped out of the hallway, he noticed one of the former slaves staring at a expertly made white dress. The cuffs were embroidered with silver, and the skirt was expertly sewn in with gems on the skirt hemming.. He recognized her from the lineup outside about an hour earlier. He began to walk up to her.
"Problem, ma'am?" he asked.
"Oh! no, I was just admiring this. Too bad it was used for things like...well....this!" she replied.
"I understand. Let me see it for a sec." he scanned it with a UV spell, and it came up clean.
"Well, its clean, so I guess you can keep it." he said, taken by the mare's beauty.
"Thanks." she replied, and she began to put the dress on, and she motioned for him to zip up the corset. As Aegis did, she affixed a tiara into her hair, and she turned around, swirling the skirt as she turned.
"You look great." Aegis said, spellbound.
"Thanks. My name's Arden Star, by the way."
"Detective Aegis Blade."
"Want to dance, like, a ballroom dance?" Star asked. "I've had enough of the dances that they do in this place!"
"Don't see why not." he replied, and he took her hooves, and they began to dance.
After about 5 minutes of dancing, Aegis stopped. Star smiled, gave him a quick kiss, then began to change out of the dress. Aegis smiled as she put on a bra, followed t-shirt and a skirt. As the two of them walked out to Aegis's squad car, they smiled at each other.
"Just another day at the office." Aegis thought to himself as he entered the driver's seat as the sun began to set.
At the Manehatten Crime lab, Aegis Blade, in full lab coat, inspected the DNA/Semen samples he had retrieved from the slaves and from the society's "kennel" respectively. He had seen enough of Tourmaline's twisted society to last him a lifetime. As he slowly drew out the samples from the analyzer, he noticed that the samples all had one thing in common. All shared Tourmaline's DNA in many different points. He smiled as he put the evidence into plastic cases. As he gave the cases to the resident DNA specialist, Decoded Genome, who curtly received his DNA with a "thank you" in the sort of air which says. "Thanks. Please Amscray." Genome was the kind of Stallion who wanted to keep his lab spic and span at all times. Aegis was used to it by now. As Aegis left around 5:00 at the end of his shift, he noticed Arden Star sitting on a bench with a small suitcase. Aegis walked up to her.
"Oh. Arden Star, was it? What are you doing here?"
'Oh? sorry. I'm lost in thought. Trying to figure out where I'm gonna stay."
"Hey. I got a spare bedroom. You can stay with me."
"Thanks a lot. By the way, this was everything the police could salvage that belonged to me."
After a short walk, they arrived at Aegis's apartment. It was medium-sized, with photos commemorating his Police accomplishments alongside modern art pictures. A small tan sofa sat next to a small Radio, and it was modestly furnished, and Arden took a few breaths. It was hard for the former sex slave to comprehend.
"It's not much." Aegis said, interrupting Arden's train of thought. "I actually own the place, well, my dad back in Stalliongrad bought it for me when I moved here. Nice view, huh?" he said as he moved the blinds. Arden stared out the window at the shimmering lake outside the window.
"Right on the lakefront. One day, when i'm off work, we can have a little fun in the sun." Aegis quipped. "Lemme show you your room."
Arden set her stuff down on the oak table and flopped down on the bed. The mattress sank to compensate for her body weight. She took off the T-shirt and jeans she was wearing and took out the nightgown that she had managed to keep hidden from Schorl. As she put it on, she reveled in the silk clothing.
As she walked out of her room, she saw Aegis making a cup of tea. As she sat down on the couch and opened a book, Aegis set the tea down on a coaster near her.
"Thanks, Aegis."
"No Problem."
As Aegis turned on the radio, classical music filled the apartment. As Arden relaxed on the sofa, Aegis turned up the volume slightly.
"Easy case. All the evidence we needed was gathered at the scene. I promise you Schorl Tourmaline will never be seen or heard from again."
"That's good news. Finally I can relax."
