The three ponies knock at the door waiting for answer. "Who is it?" the voice sounded sarcastic, Ravage answers back, "look New Dawn we know you got letter we sent so could you let us in," then New Dawn stated back "Not if my mother is out there, I told her that I never wanted to talk her, again,". Crimson Rose walk up and said, "New Dawn, your mother is not out here, it is just me, Dark Dusk, and Ravage Blues, that it,". Finally the door flew open with New Dawn's magic, as she walked out, "Oh hello Crimson and Dark, I didn't know you would be here, go right in, But Ravage you stay outside,"
"What, why?"
New Dawn look direct at him, with flame in her eyes, and simply said "Clarity Rose's Wedding,"
"What, please tell me your not still mad me too, their was a mission, can't you at least understand that, I mean your husband is the great Gold General, I am sure he is constantly busy too" said Ravage while the others walked in
"Yes he is but even he know to always be there, for me on "Special Days"," New Dawn said as she slam the door in his face, and Dark Dusk, and Crimson Rose sat down to talk with New Dawn, so they can find out what she knows.
"Speak of which where is your husband anyway," said Ravage, while still standing outside,

Meanwhile back in the closed alleys of Canterlot, the Golden General, Solas Fine is called to a murder scene,
"Sargent have you found anything out about the bodies," said Solas Fine,
"Well, Golden General, it seem that the two gang members had their head slice off at same time, in one quick slice," said the Sargent,
"And what about the one they were about to attack," said Solas Fine,
"What do mean sir, these is the only bodies here, shouldn't you say they was attacked," said the Sargent,
"Look at the weapons they had, they were clearly about to attack somepony, and by the look of things," said Solas Fine,
"Are you sure of that, sir," said the Sargent,
"I am definitely sure, now the only thing to figure out is who killed these earth ponies, was it the one they were attacking, or was it somepony else?" said Solas Fine, "Hold on what is this?" he as he use his magic to levitate some evidence from the scene,
"What is it sir?" said the Sargent,
"It appears to be dragon scales," said Solas Fine,
"But sir, there has not been a dragon in Canterlot for centuries," said the Sargent,
"I know.......I need to go check with Princess Celestia about something, you keep investigating," said Solas Fine,
"Yes sir," said the Sargent,

Back at the Home of New Dawn, Captain Dark Dusk continues to tell New Dawn what they have found out.
"So my father gone missing and you thought he would show up here," said New Dawn,
"Yes that is what we thought he would, but it seem that was wrong," said Crimson Rose,
"Where do you think your father would go then," said Dark Dusk
"Maybe you should go check with my brother Sunrise Dyau, he works at the Canterlot Library, he is always is telling that father was constantly checking out books from there, and father was always telling him not to say anything to my mother," said New Dawn,
"Maybe he can tell you what else my father was researching," said New Dawn,
"Alright we will go check with him," Crimson Rose,
So the they got up and left.

Hours later back in Canterlot Main Castle, Salos Fine meets with Princess Celestia,
"Hello Son-in-Law, well what brings you here," said Princess Celestia,
"Hello Princess, I am here about this," said Solas Fine, as he pull out the evidence with his magic,
Her heart almost stop, as she look at the scales and said, "That the same kind of scales, that Dark Dusk's group found,"
"What was Captain Dark Dusk doing here," said Solas Fine,
"Well look like I have got some explaining to do," said Princess Celestia

Meanwhile in the Canterlot Underground, a place where criminals and gangs go to hide out. Sit The Strange Looking Pony on a make shift throne. His old torn clothes and hood that always cover his face. And the Gang members that survived bought him here. He didn't know why they had bought him here or why was he siting on a make shift throne. All he did know is that he needed help. But from where, he could not ask the soldiers or she would find out and and he did not want her to find him looking like this. Or maybe he should get help the help of these gang members. He didn't know. Just then, one of the gang members walked up said, "So the guys and I were talking, and..."
The Strange Looking Pony said "And, what," with any annoyed tone.
"We think since you killed our boss and his second in command, we think the one who should lead us......now......is......you," the gang member replied,
The Strange Looking Pony look up at the earth pony, with his scaly eyes and said, "Why would I lead you gang members anywhere,"
"Because it is clear that you need help, and we can get you anything down here, Drugs, money, anything," the gang member said hastily,
"Anything, well I guest I could use your help," The Strange Looking Pony replied,
"Wonderful sir, Wonderful sir, wait what is your name sir," the gang member asked, remembering that the gang never found out.
The Strange Looking Pony got up and looked at himself in the old broken mirror beside him, he looked at what he had become, he no longer look like a pony. He even look more disfigure then the legendary Discord. Then he simply just said "What is my name, I have lost the right to my true name once I got this new look, so you can call me Freak Show,"
