Author's Note

Sorry if this chapter seems subpar; I haven't been feeling well but still tried to turn out something.

Explanations and Fangs

Silvermane sat unable to move; Twilights' magic was strong, no matter how hard he struggled against it he couldn't get free.

The light they had in his face made this an all too familiar picture for him. This wasn't his first interrogation and he never cracked. But then again that was by cops not his girlfriends' friends.

"Alright let's try this one more time," Rainbow dash said frustrated. She was learning her first lesson about mob ponies, interrogations are a way of life.

"What are you doing in ponyville really?" she asked rubbing her temples.

"You won't get nothing out of me copper, I want my lawyer, wait." Silvermane shook his head before speaking again. "Sorry about that, force of habit."

"Yeah we know," Twilight spoke up. "it's all you've said this whole time, well that and go to tartarus." They had been at this for almost an hour and had nothing to show for it.

Twilight released him and turned the lights back on. It was obvious that this was a lost cause with a guy like him, But she got an idea.

She had heard that sometimes mob ponies tell everything to their mare friends. She whispered something into Raritys' ear.

"Well I would have done that if the rest of you hadn't jumped on him." Rarity went up to him and placed her hoof on his shoulder. "Silvermane just tell me the truth, all of it, I promise I won't look at you any differently."

Silvermane sighed, then scratched under his chin. He then rubbed the back of his neck. "Alright, alright." He was going to tell her the truth sooner rather than later anyway.

"I just got out of jail, I couldn't go back to manehatten so I came here." Silvermane showed the cut on his ear. "This is the cut all mob ponies have, where on the ear and how it's cut depended on what family he's from." He explained.

"That mare you saw me fighting was the Icemare, she was a member of Murder Inc.." The girls shot him a confused look and he sighed. "They're a group of hit ponies that answer only to the commission, which means my father sent them."

"Why would your father do that?" Fluttershy asked softly causing him to let out a low chuckle. "Well I might have broken one of our rules and killed a made pony."

The girls sat in horror as Silvermane told them about how he and his friends beat, stabbed, and buried another pony alive.

"After a week or two we had to go back and dig him back up," Silvermane went on to say. "the smell was so bad, Stardust threw up all over himself." Silvermane couldn't help but laugh at the memory.

"Then I got pinched for racketeering, I was locked up in iron colt prison when I heard they found the remains."

"But why come here?" Applejack asked. "Well I knew what we did would come to light and there would be a hit put out on us," He went over to the window and gestured at the seen. "I don't think any mob pony has ever even heard of this place until now."

He began to leave when Rarity stopped him. "Wait, I don't care about your past but why keep going with this life?" A sly smile crept across his face. "I've spent my whole life as a criminal, since I was a fold, getting out is not a luxury I have."

He started walking out the door, "Stay here, I'm going to go check in on the boys, keep the doors locked ok." Rarity tried to protest but he left before she could say anymore.

On the other side of town Star dust and Lucky waited impatiently. "I don't like this Star, Silvermane's taking too long."

Star dust opened the window he was looking out of. "He's probably at that broads place, I'll go get him and reminded him where his loyalties should be."

He was half way out the window when lucky grabbed his tail and pulled him back in. "Use the door, they'll be expecting the window."

Star dust trotted out the front door but a few minutes later a knock came at the door. "Back already?" Lucky asked as he opened the door. A hoof came out of nowhere and collided with Luckys face. Lucky went flying back into a wall.

He looked up to see a black and purple earth pony with purple and black hair. "Ivory fang, I should've known you'd be showing up."

Ivory fang smiled showing a mouth full of razor sharp fangs on a metal hinge. "How's it going Lucky, long time no bite." Fang unhinged his jaw to open his mouth wide and snapped it shut.

Just as Lucky was getting back up Fang tackled him, almost putting him through the wall. Lucky kicked him off and quickly snatched up a nearby horse shoe.

Fang came in for a bite, Lucky jumped back just in time for one of the fangs to just cut his face. Lucky took a swing at him and while all his hits connected Ivory fang seemed unaffected.

Lucky was hit with a right that rattled his teeth. He stumbled as he felt Ivorys back hooves hit him dead in his side, the sickening cracking of his ribs was like music to Ivory fang.

Lucky was fighting to keep his balance as Fang went for his neck. Right when he opened his mouth Lucky took a chance and punched him in the throat. Ivory fang was stunned but still managed to bite down on Luckys' shoulder.

Once Ivory fang bit down he locked his jaw. With a strong grip on Lucky he threw him full force across the room. Lucky collided with a wall and before he could regain his composure he was tackled through the wall.

The two tumbled into the next room and Lucky thought 'what would Silvermane do?' He racked his brain to try and come up with something but it's hard to do that when you have somepony on top of you bashing your teeth in.

"Well Lucky, looks like your luck has run out." Ivory fang unhinged his jaw ready to bit off Luckys head; that's when Lucky looked down and noticed where his back hooves were in relation to Ivory fangs body.

He quickly drove his hooves strait up in between Ivory fangs back legs as hard as he could. Fang reeled back in pain, Lucky quickly drove his back hooves into Ivory fangs jaw with all his might smashing the hinge.

Fang staggered back in genuine pain, unable to move his mouth, and made a move for the door. "Same old Fang, the moment you start losing a fight you turn tail and run."

Lucky let him make it to the top of the stairs before tackling him at full force. The two managed to hit every step on the way down until they finally hit the floor at the bottom.

Lucky had hit his head and was fighting off a concussion as he tried to stand. He almost slipped on the blood covered floor but was relived to find that the blood was coming from Ivory fangs head which, in addition to being twisted almost the whole way around, had a large gash on it.

"Sweet Calestia, what's going on here?" Lucky turned expecting another fight but was relived to see Silvermane and Star dust. "Oh, hey guys how's it hanging?" Lucky said before passing out.
