Fallout Equestria: Premonition
Chapter 1: Promotion
Previous ChapterNext ChapterChapter 1:
“Promotion”
Early in the morning before the moon took to sleep and the sun brought a new day, a young female pegasus woke up unaware that her life was going to take a drastic turn for the worst.
It was the city of Cloudsdale, the mare opened her rose red eyes to the new day.
Arrg is it morning already? I shouldn’t had stayed awake so long last night. ‘Sigh’ I can’t keep staring at the ceiling need to get ready for work. If I wasn’t used to waking up this early, I would be passing out right now.
I mustered all my strength, stood up and shambled up to the bathroom to get ready for the day. Afterwards, I headed to kitchen table to finish up on a project from last night sorting out all the letters her mother had sent to me. My sorting skills are terrible and I was making more piles for myself to work with later.
I don't even know how to sort this. I really need to hire some pony to do it, but then again I don't want them to see these letters.
I find one with a photo attached to it. At least I have a picture of us- aw crap, I forgot to drop of my letter to her yesterday! I'm going to tell her on how I applied for the equestrian royal guard job so I could get transferred closer to where she is stationed. Taking a quick glance, at the clock I realized what time it was and needed to hurry up.
“Okay need to hurry and get ready for the day.” I quickly trotted into my bedroom and with the aid of the mirror braided my blood red hair “No miss mo-hawk today!” then I grabbed my gray Cloudsdale armor. “I hope I don’t have to guard that super loud, super fast, and super annoying blue mare who has a ego the size of the…moon, of the sun?” I stopped trying to put the armor on my silver gray coat to contemplate which sister has the bigger ego.
The zebra stripes that adorn my body make the armor look odd and out of place but it can't be helped. “Thanks dad!” I grumbled as it makes the armor look uneven. At least the glyph of protection on her rump helps, I think it says protection I can't read zebra just looks like a shield to me. As I slid my saddle bags on my helmet fell onto my head. “Okay need to drop the letter off before going to work.”
Knock Knock Knock.
“Hello who is it?” I asked.
A powerful stallion yelled through the door, “THIS IS THE EQUESTRIAN ROYAL GUARD, IS A SILVER HERE?”
“Yes this is Silver.” I answered, trying to match the seriousness in his voice.
“YOUR DUTY IS RE-ASSIGNED PLEASE come out” his voice softened.
Opening the door, I nicely got reminded about my freakishly Luna sized height having to look down at the two lunar bat ponies standing on the porch.
No longer yelling through the door the bat pony on the left informed me “The Princess of the moon Luna has summoned you.”
Oh Celestia this is my big chance, can't screw this up, “Lead on.”
“Squeek Squeek.” The other bat pony responded with a series of high pitch squeaks. Wait?
“Sorry, he lost his translator.” The first bat pony spoke with a look of mild annoyance. The second bat pony nodded his head in confirmation.
“Will this be a short visit or will I need to pack?” I asked with curiosity, looking back into my cloud house.
“It is urgent mam and she would like to get this meeting done before she goes to sleep.” He answers getting ready to take off.
“Okay let's go.” I responded briskly, as the three of us took off.
Unfortunately, due to my large body and great wingspan I’m not the best of fliers. So the two bat ponies that decided to fly right next to me were swatted like a bug.
“WWWWWHHAAAAAAAA” Left bat pony screamed.
“SQUUUEEEAK” Bat pony without a broken helmet followed, as the two where sent spinning away just to return keeping a substantial distance from me.
“Oh sorry.” I had a sheepish smile and batted my wings faster keeping an eye on the lunar guards. This seemed urgent I don't know what is but I'm super excited! Smiling to myself as I started to approach to the castle.
As I approached the palace door the guard on her left suddenly spoke “The princess will meet you in the throne room.”
“Thank you.” I said as I landed on the steps and trotted into the palace.
“Squeak squeak squeeeeak.” The squeaky bat pony said with a raised eyebrow.
As the guards move to leave the left guard hits Mr. squeaky over the head, “ ‘Eherm!’ Be professional”.
Chuckling, I entered the palace snickering to myself, “I think Mr. Squeaky was checking me out.”
Suddenly a wild Luna appeared! Waiting in the entrance hall watching me, weird.
“Ah, good evening.” Luna spoke delicately witch was strange to hear coming from her. That was anti-climatic I was waiting to be blown back by her grand Canterlot voice.
“Good evening Luna.” I bowed before the princess.
“We request your aid. We are to understand that you have put in an application to become a royal guard.” Luna started trotting back towards the throne room.
“Yes your majesty.” I quickened my pace and trotted up beside Luna.
“We have a situation, a high classified pony has done something that deeply enraged our sister and we are worried that he knows something that he is not letting on. We would like you to go and interrogate him and find out any information that you can. You are given a week to do this, for that in a week he is to receive the death sentence-” Luna lowered her head “-which is a first time in a long time in Equestria's history.” She waved away any guards we saw as we walked down the halls.
Also hell yes all I have to do is be a detective cool. “If I may, which methods should I use to question him?” I asked hesitantly, I hoped they don't expect me to get all seductive with him.
“Any you seem fit. WE understand that you are exceptional in hoof to hoof combat so if you need to hurt him go ahead.” She answered taking no time to worry what I might resort to get that information.
Wow, I wonder what he did to piss off the princesses.
“If you do this for us, consider your application to have a high recommendation from us when our sister looks at it. Also, we must ask that you tell no pony of what you are doing for us.” A bat pony ran up with ribbon sealed folder and hoofed it to me.
“I understand it will be completely confidential.” I nodded and packed away the folder
.
“We have expunged any other work given to you by any other officials this week.” She walked right past the throne room.
I was hoof pumping in my head and tried to mask my sheer enthusiasm.
“As you are talking about him do we already have him in custody?” I was very curious.
“He is currently in the psych ward at Canterlot hospital. We cannot use a regular prison cell and Tia won't tell us why-” I gave an inquisitive look. “-or how she knows him. This mustn't matter now as that he has hurt others he is now a threat to Equestria”.
“If I may interrupt since he is a danger to ponies, is there something I should be concerned about?” Like for example is he deadly?
“He is well skilled in zebra weapon fighting, so keep anything that can be used as a weapon away from him." Luna responded.
Are they using me because I am also part zebra and am I expected to relate to this guy? That's a bit racist if that's the reason for it, but if this gets me a promotion I'll do whatever the princesses ask of me.
“Don't worry princess I excel in hoof to hoof combat, if need be I will unarmed him.” I snapped back into focus.
“That's one of the reasons we chose you.” Luna attempted to reassure me.
Yeah, yeah totally besides being a zebra.
“I would like a report every day at the end of the day of what you have learned and document your findings in the portfolio we will provide you with.” She looked at me to make sure I was not going to dare question it.
Shit I have paperwork. A week's worth of paperwork paper work god no NOO!
“Um Silver is everything okay?” Luna asked, with a concerned expression.
“NO 'ahem' no nothing's the matter. Is there a format I should use in order to document my findings?” I was quick to regain my composure.
“Just bring it to us at the end of the day the hospital it's not too far from the castle. Do you have any more questions?”.
If I do will you make more paperwork?
“Just one last question what is his name.” I needed to know at least his name for now.
“His name is Crescent Moon. All the information we have on him will be in the portfolio.” Luna answered, while rubbing her eyes. “The hospital does not open till nine o'clock so you will have time to read and maybe grab breakfast while you wait. If you need any help feel free to call for assistance from the royal guards. Do you understand?” Luna yawned as we arrived at her room door.
“Yes mam, sorry for keeping you.” I tried to look sorry for keeping her up.
“It's fine but we must ask that after his death you don't speak his name. This is all being kept from the public eye”.
This mission is going to be hidden when done? How will ponies know what I did to get this job then? “I understand. Farewell my princess it was nice to meet you.” I responded and bowed before her.
“You to Silver.” Luna reached out and shook my hoof. Sweet Celestia a princess just shook my hoof and it- felt like any other hoof.
“Before I forget Shining Armor will give you papers in order to get past the guards go get them before you try to see him. You're dismissed.” With that I trotted off and let the princess retire for the day.
Finding a cafe in Canterlot wasn't too hard but finding one that is not overpriced is nearly impossible. 'Le Cheval Faim Cafe' at least has a good view of the sun and enough lighting to read this portfolio. It's very quaintly decorated with shimmering crystals all around the banner. There were white tables and chairs, the brickwork on the building gave it a nice and elegant design.
This place looks so out of my price range but it's the only place that isn't as busy so I can focus on reading the paperwork. Ponies think guard work is about standing there looking strong and beating ponies up. Half of it is reading and writing, but then again this is not guard work.
I was approached by a waiter as she sat at a nearby table grumbling to herself. He had a dark yellow coat with a white mane perfectly combed back and wore a topaz suit.
“My name is Silky Meadows and I will be taking care of you today, what may I get for you today?” The stallion asked eloquently with his Canterlot heavy ascent.
I quickly skimmed over the long list of things on the menu. Shit this is a lot more options than I usually get in the barracks.
“Um, I'll try the apple strudel!” I said with determination as it was not that expensive.
“Madam, you are looking at the the dessert menu. If I may make a suggestion.” He said as he grabbed the menu.
Did he just chuckle at me? Let me guess 'may I suggest the most expensive thing on the menu.
“A black silk double diamond coffee with a berry bouquet muffin.” The waiter suggested.
Ooh sounds delicious and like it will eat all my bits but what the hell might as well. “That sounds pleasant, yes please.”
After bowing he left with my order.
“Let's start this.” Opening up Crescent Moon's portfolio I was quickly disappointed on how empty it is.
Age: Unknown.
What is this no estimate or pictures? Am I interrogating a filly and they don't want to tell me? A baby on death sentence how could they!?
Height and Weight: Average stallion.
He is regular height and weight not a filly phew.
Origin: Zebra lands but no new place of residence.
I didn't know of many ponies that live in the zebra lands.
Family: None.
Well he had to have a mom and dad at one point.
Eyes: Green.
Hair: Back with green tips.
Coat: Deep red.
Cutie Mark: Has a black crescent moon as his cutie mark but as a side note Crescent Moon insists it is not.
“What is it suppose to be a black croissant?” I snickered to myself.
Reason for Detainment: Attempted to destroy a train that was transporting the zebra Caesar. We don't know why and that is why this file is empty. “I still can't figure out why he is in the psych ward instead of jail” That's it and now only another side note must be written by someone higher up:
'Crescent moon has no official job but he works privately for Equestria. His work is to send helpful letters all across Equestria on seemingly random things. Most of what he sends is insightful to the pony that reads receives it but anyone else would think it is gibberish. Every pony he has written to has had their lives improved by him which is why I chose to employ him. He signs the letters with a B. It seems now he has changed and intends to do harm. The reason he is being held in the psych ward is it was the only place I could magically buff before he got back. Strangely, this pony can manipulate zebra magic which is why he need special caging to contain him. If he starts chanting or whispering words you do not understand stop him immediately. I hope you get to the bottom of this Silver.'
What the hell the folder is so thick and it's mostly empty pages and this one says write here. “They gave me too many pages!” I grumbled. Great, now I have to fill all this in or it looks like I'm doing nothing. I'll have to ask so many questions, though they will probably be happy with anything they get. As the waiter walked back, I checked my bag to see if I had enough bits to pay the stallion.
“Miss don't worry about the bill, my manager says it has already been paid for.” The waiter brought my food and hurries off to the next table. I should have bought better food or ordered more if I knew it has was payed for Damn! I ate my delicious muffin and drank my black coffee then I was on my way to Shining Armor’s office.
The barracks were mostly empty this morning everyone was already out doing their patrols or on their designated point. Few of the night guards were turning in and others that had the day off hung around playing games or talking gossip. Shining Armors office was at the top floor at the end of the hall with two guards at it. As I approached, they both nodded to me and let me approach the door.
Knock Knock Knock.
“You may enter.” He sounded tired.
I opened the door and saluted before entering the room.
Shining armor looked busy sifting through the papers on his desk. ”How may I help you?” Shining Armor spoke without looking up from his desk.
“I have been sent by princess Luna-” He cut me off.
“Yes right here.” Shinning armor opens a drawer from his desk and withdraws a paper with Luna's and his royal seal. He floats over the paper to me.
“Thank you sir.” I immediately put them into my bag.
Looking up from his papers Shining Armor glanced at me, “Go downstairs to the armory and switch your armor with an outfit we have put aside for you. We don't know how he will react with a guard trying to interrogate him. Also, if you ever feel in danger you are free to call for the royal guards.”
“I probably have to pose as a psychiatrist or something.” I mumbled, wondering if they even have something my size.
“Hmm, probably” Shining Armor chuckled, “Thinking aloud are we?” He smiled at me pulling a small picture from his general uniform pocket.
“Sorry sir.” I said sheepishly rubbing the back of my head.
“It's ok Twily used to do it all the time don't worry.” He chuckled as he put the picture away.
I stifled a laugh, 'Twily' he must be referring to Celestia's apprentice.
“Silver, you have the highest ranking authority at the hospital. If any of the doctors or guards give you a hard time just show them the paper and they should behave. Do you understand?” He asked.
He was putting me in charge, sweet!
“Yes sir.” I said nearly beaming, I was so happy.
“Good dismissed!” He nodded and I left towards the armory.
Hurrying down to the armory, I changed into the outfit that was left for me. A white button up blouse with a black pencil skirt. A stallion whistled, as others watched me change. This might had bothered any other mare but I was used to it. Once done I hastily left before they start asking me out or attempted to make a move. What kind of clothes are these?! Are they expecting me to go off and sleep with him? Whatever gets the job done I guess.
I trotted over to the crowded hospital that was several block away. As I entered, I starts spotting badly hidden guards among the staff and patients. That is one buff nurse and I think that one has a tattoo hiding under his sleeve.
“ 'Cough cough' ” A stallion guard starts pretending to be sick by doing the worst fake cough ever.
My god it wouldn't surprise me if half these 'sick' ponies were guards. Really? They need this much protection for one pony and there sending me in by myself unarmed. From my description he sounds pretty mundane and boring.
“Hello,” A small white nurse with a light blue mane is sitting behind the reception desk. l realized I must have been lost in thought and probably had been standing here for a while. “How may I help you?” the nurse was smiling at me.
“The princess has sent me to talk to Cr-” I was cut off by the nurse.
“Ppssssshhhhhhh” The small nurse waved her hoof at me shushing me. “Him, yes go down the hall to your right till you find the double doors on your left. Then go all the way at the end of the hall you should see a door on your right that says psych-ward. Go down the stairs and the guards will meet you there.
“Thank you.” I just trotted off.
I followed her instructions down to the psych-ward. The halls had less guards then the front but they were still terribly hidden. Walking down the hall, I did see a few patients who weren't guards and decided to keep my distance. One even followed me sniffing for a bit until a nurse redirected her back to her room. Eventually, I found the door but had to duck my head to go through it. As I walked down the steps towards the psych-ward the music from upstairs faded away into an eerie silence. The lights seemed to be dimmer down the stairs as well. The squeaky clean marble flooring turned into a harsh concrete floor and the walls transitioned into a murky brown paint. Am I walking into a dungeon?
At the bottom of the stairs, I spotted three guards in a dugout on the side of the hallway. One sat at a desk in the dugout looking bored ass hell. The other two were on the floor playing some card game. The brown unicorn stallion at the desk imminently looked up at me as I walked up to his desk.
“Finally, someone has come are you the next shift?” He moved to get up but stopped when I shook my head.
“I'm Silver, I am suppose to talk to the 'crazy'.” My words made him slump back into his chair and resume his grumpy pose.
“Be careful yesterday he got very violent.” The stallion says then rubbed his jaw. None of them had name tags. “He was fine the previous three days doing absolutely nothing calm as a butterfly, just sat there mumbling to himself. Nothing out of the ordinary for crazies or needing to raise alarm, but yesterday he started screaming his head off saying that he will curse us and that terrible things will happen to us.”
“Do you know what triggered it?” Surely something had to happen for his mood to change so drastically.
“If we knew that we would have removed it but after that, none of us are going near the cell.” The brown stallion gestures towards the two stallions beside his desk playing cards. Both are pretty big in there uniforms although the orange stallion with the black and blue eye looks like he is winning whatever card game they're playing.
“Did he experience anything out of ordinary that day?" I asked knowing that something had to have triggered it.
“Nope.” Shaking his head the brown guard answers. “So you know if they're going to send in those reinforcements?” Damn he was really desperate for the next shift.
“No, sorry.” I looked at the orange guard with the black and blue eye. For buck's sake these guys are wusses a black eye that's it.
“Hey, if he starts rambling shit, hoof him in the face!” the orange stallion said, aggravated at something past my knowledge. “Him and his fucking curses.”
“Did hitting him work for you?” I tilted my head over trying to figure out what game they're playing.
“Didn't get to him in time!” the guard grumpily responded.
“Well I should get going before it gets too late.” I said gesturing with my hoof down the hall.
“Spend as much time as you want but if you wish to go in the cell we will have to chain him up.” He was quite excited at that idea.
“I don't want to make him too uncomfortable yet, I'll just stand outside the room talking to him through the slider.” I frowned at the orange guard, “How did he hit you if he was tied up?”
Looking up and pointing his free hoof at his eye, “He didn't hit me.”
“Then how did your eye get black and blue.” I waved my hoof at his eye.
“I was walking home and a wooden beam swung down and hit me in the face, it's the curse I say!” He imitated a swinging beam hitting his face, with his hoof.
“Since you where not paying attention to where you were walking you think it's the curse?” I raised my eyebrow with suspicion.
“That wire should have never broken. I know ponies says that curses don't exist but when all five of us get hit with something-” He glared at me.
“That doesn't make you cursed that makes you unlucky.” I cut him off and gave him a flat look in return.
The guard pointed his hoof at me ,“You will see for yourself when he curses you!”
“I'll be nicer than you and we will see.” I gave him a smug smile in return. Maybe if I allure him he won't 'curse me'.
Without another word I walked down the hall towards the only door with a name tag on it. This door just so happens to be the last one down the hall with a light flickering outside it every so often. Several magical markings etched around the door. I approached the steel door with a small slider, sliding it open. I noticed that the prisoner is off to the side of this well lit cell drawing strange glyph markings. He is using his own blood to write it on the stone walls. I hesitated, creepy start but okay let's do this.
*Knock knock knock*
“Hello Crescent Moon I'm here to talk to you.” I desperately tried to hide my uneasiness.
The bloody hoof leaves my small field of vision, a tired and worn down stallion calls out “Hello, Silver.”
“You know my name! How do you know my name?” That's creepy. I nervously took a step away from the door.
“Silver could you please get me a glass of water it's very dry in here.” He asked while staying outside my field of vision.
Stepping back up to the door, I resumed searching around for him. “I can throw water in there but I can't' give it to you because I can’t get in-”.
“Oh come on, it's dry in here.” He whined back at me.
“You might use the glass of water to cut me with.” I frowned with irritation as I couldn’t find him.
“I'm dying in here Silver” He kept whining.
“Seriously how do you know my name!?” I leaned back from the door.
“I knew you were coming” He dry chuckled as he responded.
“How? How much do you know about me?” I started to take notes.
Suddenly a pony tongue appeared in the looking visor!
*SMACK*
“Ow my tongue” He said as the tongue disappeared back into the cell.
I growled, “Don't stick out your tongue at me!” I heard him move from the door and his hoof go back to drawing on the wall. “What are you doing? I am trying to talk to you.”
Calmly he mumbled, “Thinking, thinking a lot actually.”
“Why are you thinking so much? I'm here to talk to you and get to know you but you probably know that already.” I surveyed the area again but couldn’t find him so I leaned back not wanting him to lick my eye.
He paused, “No, I honestly didn't know why you were here. Just figured you come to execute me or something.”
“No! I'm here to talk to you not kill you.” I said while frowning. He expected me to kill him?
“That's great! I didn't want to fight you anyways.” He responded.
“You must have heard good things about me.” I added as he sounded weary about potentially having to fight me.
“I've seen you fight.” He retorts, nonchalantly.
Has he been stalking me? “How in the hell did you see me fight? I normally stay in Cloudsdale. You are a earth pony, you can't walk on clouds!” I affirmed.
“You did training in Equestria's capital Canterlot.” He stated, smugly.
“That means that you were also in Canterlot, is that how you know princess Celestia?” I asked.
Crescent Moon chuckled, “Hehe, it might be a long hall out there but I know they can still hear us talk.”
“I'll tell them to go away for now if you want.” I got up and looked down the hall to see the three guards getting up. The brown one has picked up the bag from underneath his desk and is floating it beside him. “And don't try to run away or else you won't get far.” I reached up to close the visor.
“Can I have that glass of water?” Crescent Moon pleads.
“NO! You can stick your tongue out and I'll pour water into your mouth.” I retorted.
“That's what I was doing before and you smacked me.” He whimpered.
“I'll be back, then we can talk in private.” I stated as I closed the slider muting the pony inside and started walking back to the guards, “Hey can you guys move to the top of the stairs he doesn't want to tell me anything while you guys are here.”
“That's why we were offering to let you into the room. The door is magically sound proof. We think he might have figured that out.” The guards stop in front of me.
“Could I get a cup of water in a plastic cup? He wants some water.” I stated to the guards. I fear if I don't get him his water he wont stop his annoying whines.
“Yes mam.” The gray Pegasus guard said as nodded and ran off.
“If you will wait here we will go tie him up so you can go in.” The guards start walking with me back to Crescent Moon's cell.
“Will he resist? If I tell him he is getting water out of this he might behave.” I pondered aloud.
“We would prefer if we surprise him so he doesn't make a run for it, but if you think it helps you can give it a try. Don't come crying to me if you get caught in the crossfire.” The brown unicorn gestured towards the door.
I trotted over and opened the sliding visor and heard him humming inside. “Just so you know in order for me to give you water I will have to go in there and in order to go in there you will have be restrained. So don't do anything stupid.”
“Come on don't restrain me it's stuffy in that thing.” He whines back still unable to be seen.
“I don't care if it's stuffy it's the only way I'm allowed in there.” I barked back.
“Fine” He grumbled.
“Just behave so they don't think I'm letting you out and don't try to run for it or I will take you down.” I closed the visor and looked back at the two guards who were standing behind me, “Go ahead.”
The guards step past me and open the door just enough to fit through.
“Hey guys what's up!” Crescent Moon happily called out.
The door closes behind them and I waited in silence staring at the magical markings on the door.
The gray pegasus guard returned with the plastic cup of water.
“Thanks.” I took the cup with in my mouth and he responded with a salute. After a few seconds I might have snuck in a tiny sip of water.
The two guards walk back out of the room and got ready to redo the lock on the door.
The unicorn was rubbing his jaw on the way out. Shit he hit him what the buck?!
The guard leaned over and whispered into my ear, “Knock four times to leave.”
I nodded and entered the cell, spotting him on the other side of the room. He had a iron mask on along with all four of his hooves in shackles. He is bound with a strait jacket and a collar keeping him upright against the wall by a metal ring embedded into the wall. Along with two bars, one keeping his back hooves spread apart and the other across his back making sure he can't move his front hooves, that are already bound with the strait jacket. Finally his tail is wrapped up and clamped together.
“Oh geez they really did a number on you. I figured they would just chain you to the wall but they went all loony strait jacket on you.” I frowned and slowly approached. The door closed as I entered the cell then a magical shimmer went across the door as the lock clicked. “Why are you quiet?” I stayed by the door while watching him.
*Pop* What was that?
*Pop* I watched as the bars fall off.
*Pop pop pop* The chains fall off one by one leaving him completely unrestrained, the mask falling off with it. I saw the 'fucked up pony' that is Crescent Moon.
“Bastards.” Crescent Moon sits there and gently rubs the new bruises that seem to blend with the countless scars all over his body.
“What did they do to you, did they hit you?” I examined the bruises and saw that they were recent.
“Well no shit, they don't exactly like me.” Crescent growled back.
“Oh, because you gave them a 'voodoo curse' oh the horror.” I said sarcastically while waving my hooves around.
Crescent Moon chuckled.
“For fucks sake if you get hit in the eye for something that stupid, it's not a curse” I retorted.
“I didn't actually curse him but bad things happen to pony when they worry too much or don't pay attention to what's around them.” Crescent smiled as he moved off the wall and stretched.
“Ya the guards were probably paranoid about the things you said to them so they were not paying attention.” I lowers my hooves and starts taking notes again.
“All I said was-” he switches to the zebra language“- oggi boogie woogie I curse you oogie boogie gooo.” he said while waving his arms around.
I fell over laughing, “Bet you said the curse part in pony language.”
“Nope.” Crescent moon leans up against the wall.
“Shouldn't they have a zebra translator when dealing with the zebra.” I said, after calming down from my small laughing fit.
“They do but he isn't here right now. ” Crescent smiles as he sat down in the corner of the room.
“I don't get it you are suppose to be very terrifying and a danger to Equestria but you have been a little annoying at most.”
“That is because I took down sixteen engineers, the train conductor, and almost set of a bomb that could have killed around one hundred fifty ponies.” Crescent tried to get comfortable in the corner.
“Well I guess trying to kill hundreds of pony will do it.” I frowned and leaned a little away from him.
“I was only aiming for the zebra Caesar and three of his advisers. I just brought too many explosives” Crescent shrugs, “and that has caused this.” He waved his hoof around the room to all the markings in the room. Slowly, he walked to the middle of the room and picked up the glass of water. “Thanks by the way” Crescent Moon picked up the cup and slowly drinks the water.
“If you try to stab me with that cup I will be very pissed and surprised.” I cautiously back away from him more.
Crescent moon smiles, “So miss Silver, how are you today?”
I'm taken aback by the question, “I'm fine I guess.”
“Silver, could you be honest with me, am I going to die in a few days.” His tone changes.
“I can't do anything about that. Maybe I can do something if you talk, but I don't know what to ask.”
“Sadly it doesn't matter because since I messed up everyone is going to die.” HE curls up into a ball.
“Now we're hitting the cryptic shit to freak me out. Can you elaborate a little?” I cringed.
“Fine, I needed to kill the four zebras including the Caesar and three of his advisers so the could not help end the world.” His voice starts cracking.
“Do you have anything leading you to believe that they were going to hurt ponies. I doubt four zebras can as you say 'end the world.' ” I makes sure to write all this information down.
“You would be surprised how much one zebra or pony can change the world.” He faced away from me, “Because I fucked up the world is going to end.”
“Why do you sound so depressed. If were going off what you said those zebras will end the world not you.” I attempted to explain.
“Are you believing me?” Crescent Moon raises his head a little.
“I'm telling you not to blame yourself when you did nothing wrong. I'm no psychiatrists but I know that's what they would say. Just because you could not stop that doesn't mean you started it.”
“That's all hypothetical to you isn't it.” He spun back around to look back at me.
“Doesn't matter if it is true. So don't beat yourself over a dead horse.” I countered looking up at him.
“So you believe me?” he smiles with a hint of hope in his face.
“I just met you and I'm not going to believe everything you say, especially how crazy it sounds. But I'll hear you out if you want to talk.” I rolled my eyes as I attempted to brighten up the mood.
The conversation went on for a couple of hours. I went over and edited his bio during that time and even put down a few notes. During that time he warned me that 'Twiglet Sparcal' (He tricked me into writing that) is in dire danger. Unfortunately, he didn't say more as to see if I can get a plea bargain in exchange for the information. I learned is that his cutie mark starts with a 'T' which I took a couple of guesses at but was unable to figure it out. Crescent Moon even had the nerve to ask me to aid him in escaping that I immediately shot down.
“So let me understand, Celestia is afraid of a adolescent red dwarf pony-” I said amid reviewing my notes.
“Hey! I'm only a half inch under a regular stallion height Mrs. colossus-” Crescent Moon mutters “- and I'm not that young, you are only three years older than me.”
“Yeah whatever, what time is it?” Frowning, I looked around for any indication of time.
“No idea but if you leave I have to get back in those chains again.” He pouts.
“I'll help you for fucks sake, I'll tie you up.” I replied.
“It's not that hard.” He stands against the wall and re-locks his tail.
“What? How the fuck?” I watched in shock.
Crescent Moon smiles as the green in his mane and eyes start to glow. Small magic strands start coming out of his coat and grabbing the restraints. First the jacket, then the collar, next the chains, and finally the bars. The helm slowly floats up and stops in front of his face. “Now if you excuse me I won't be able to talk once I put this thing back on. Also the latch is on the side. One more thing before you visit Luna you should get your jacket it’s going to pour out.” Smiling at me he puts the mask back on.
“What the fuck? .... um ok bye weird pony.”
I went home arranged my notes and made sure everything was written down. My friend Solar Flare visited for a while. Had a great talk with her, unfortunately I am terrible at keeping secrets and accidentally informed her that I was on a secret mission for Luna but no details for her. I left my house but not before giving Crescent Moon the benefit of the doubt and bringing my jacket with me. Thank Celestia that I did that, there is was rough storm from the Everfree that came down on canterlot. When I tried to hand in my report, Celestia was still on the throne and made me use the ceremonial blow-horn outside Luna's door. Luna opened the door with her messed up mane looking furious and took the bio book from me before slamming the door shut. After that ordeal I went back home, cleaned up and went to bed.
I woke up to some strange shuffling in my living room. Okay Silver, act like you're sleeping and when they come in I'll take them down. After a few seconds I heard the person leave her house. Okay fuck that was scary! Need to check everything. Searching the entire house I couldn't find anything missing except my favorite pair of velvet purple panties. This wasn't a normal theft all my shit is still here except for my panties. They could have been here to steal the portfolio, could have been someone from Crescent Moons group. Great it's early as hell and now I have to go to Luna and debrief her on my finding from yesterday “FUCK!”
Upon visiting Luna she only wanted to discuss the properties of his magic. After the hour long visit I grabbed a quick bite to eat before going back to the hospital. Sadly, it wasn't free today as she learned that Mr. B paid for her meal last time. Damn it today sucks I could only afford a bagel it feels like it's going to be 'one of those days'.
Walking down the psych-ward I spot the familiar three guards.
“I'm going inside the room to talk to him. Don't bother restraining him it won't work. He got out of it yesterday when I was in there.”
The guards jump up and follow, “Shit not again.” The orange guard slammed the bag of restraints on the ground with irritation. “Silver the password is six knocks.”
I stop and hush them.
“I want to see what he does in there when he thinks he is alone.” She reaches up and silently slides the slider open.
“No that won't work maybe this, um nope.” The blood symbols on the wall are all arranged differently and it seems as though he can move them with only a touch of his hoof and a little glow of his mane. Looks like some kind of blood magic creepy voodoo necromancer.
Silver watches for a little then speaks, “WHAT you doing over there?”
Crescent moon screamed like a little girl and spun to look at me.
“I saw that.” Smiling, I closed the slider.
The guards walk up and opened the door.
In the room the wall is set up is back the way it looked yesterday, no blood symbols.
The guards close the room behind us.
“You liar... how did you do that?” I said as I point at the lack of blood marking on the wall.
“Do what?” Crescent said, while sitting in the middle of the room.
“I saw you, you can't lie to me. Moving blood with your hooves that's not normal. Anyways do you know who stole my panties?” I said while glaring at him.
“Pfffffff what someone stole your panties? And the first thing you did was ask me about it.” He stifled a laugh.
“Someone stole my panties and I think they might be with you or some 'friends' of yours” I point at him accusingly.
“Nope not me or my people.” He shook his head.
After thanking him for the food yesterday. I poked fun of his height for a while goofing off for a bit. Unfortunately all these fun conversations didn't last.
“I told you the world is going to end and you won't believe me.” He sat up.
“Do you know how?” I flipped the page.
“Yes, but you would never understand.” He said as he lowered his gaze.
“Give me the dumb downed version.”
“We're all going to burn, we're going to kill each other, we're going to kill each other's children, and do you know what we're it's all for nothing. Fucking nothing.” He started shaking and was almost in tears.
I underlined every letter in his statement on my notes.
“You are being so dramatic, it's not like it has already happened.”
“You haven't seen what I have seen I will defy fate!” He said trying to calm down.
“So the end is nigh.” I raised my eyebrows and frowned.
“Not if we stop it.” He declared.
“Okay I need to ask different questions.” I review my notes.
“It would be great if you helped.” He smiles at her.
“No, I need this promotion and I can't trust what you are saying is truthful. If all you say is true then you know that you will leave this place right?”
“No I have seen my own death to many times to count.” He sighed.
Need to ask more questions but they didn't give me a list of things I should ask. There is way too many empty pages in this portfolio. “So any hint on the twilight in danger.”
“Nope, I told you yesterday some of my visions are useful and some are very unimportant and don't give me shit to work with.”
“What do you you do in your spare time?” I pout at the lack of info.
“I write letters, and reflect on what I have seen in my visions.” He looked around the room “I meditate in order to look upon my memory of it.”
“Fine, how? Show me.” I asked while crossing my hooves.
He sits there and bites his front left hoof and starts making a circle with his blood “This is a standard meditation ci-”.
Wow their land must be so dirty from all the blood they use. Actually they probably don't need to use blood. They maybe could use chalk or paint. That's it I will get him a plastic cup of paint so he won't cut himself anymore.
“- and now sitting in the completed circle you sit there and enter your own mind and soul.” He breathed in and out slowly.
It got boring after a little just watching him meditate.
“STOP!” I jumped in horror as he opened his eyes and blood is running down his cheek. I walked up to him apprehensively then poked his cheek *poke* no reaction *poke* eww I got blood on me from poking his eye, wow he really is out of it.
“Um guards.” I say as I tried to find something to wipe the blood off.
The metal door instantly swings open and two guards rush in to restrain Crescent Moon.
“I didn't do this.” I backed away from the two.
He is like a doll as the guards restrain him against the wall.
“Mam we need your bags there has been a breach in security.” The stallion holds out his hoof.
“What?! Here you go.” I hooved over my saddlebags.
“I'm going to need you to put these on.” He cuffs me in iron cuffs.
“Why cuff me? What the hell there is a breach in security and you suspect me of doing something wrong by sitting here talking to him?” I whined as all my four hooves are cuffed.
“Until you are cleared.”
After cuffing me they walk up to the door and knocked nine times and left.
So what? I got here tried to do Luna's bidding and get cuffed? I pout sitting there cuffed and trying to wipe clean the blood off her hoof with no avail.
Crescent Moon suddenly gasps and starts to take of the restraints.
“AAarrrg my eyes! What the hell?!” He exclaimed.
“There was a breach in security. Can you take my things off?” I hold up my cuffs.
Still having blood in his eyes he starts taking off his bindings, “You want me to take of your clothes?! I mean that's an unusual practice of interrogation but I'm not complaining if you have to-”
“NO MY CHAINS!!!” I shook my front cuffs in front of his face. “I have a feeling that anyone that becomes friends with you is hated.”
He finally gets freed and quickly starts rubbing the blood from his eyes.
“My eyes they burn!” After he splashes water from the cup and cleans his eyes he walks over then with a tap of his hoof, a whisper of magic, and a glow of hair and eyes he frees me.
“You also have lock picking magic. Do you invent magic as you go?” I stared in confusion as the cuffs fall off.
“Yes for the first on and no for the second one. Have to learn lots more than a regular unicorn in order to cast a spell. I have had great deal of practice with this spell since helping ponies isn't the most honest job sometimes.”
“Now we're here stuck because one of your friends has probably decided to get you out.” I waited by the door.
“Nah probably not.” He rubbed his head.
The door visor opens and I am shocked when I see myself, “Didn't know I had a clone!”
“EQUESTRIAN ROYAL GUARD!!” The Silver on the other side of the door yells in.
“Equestrian royal guard! Wait I'm not a royal guard yet.”
“Will be once this job is finished.” The other Silver responded.
“Thanks future me!” I say to my other self.
“You will be sharing the same sentence of Crescent Moon's.”
Real me snarks back, “Wow future me is such a bitch. Is this what happens when we become royal guards? That sucks I don't want to become that.” I looked back at Crescent Moon whom face hooves.
“It's illegal to impersonate a royal guard.” Other me points out.
“Are you trying to make me not look like me.” I growled.
“I don't have to do anything. I visited Shining Armor yesterday and he gave me this.” Other Silver pulls out the official royal seal from Shining Armor and Luna. I suddenly realized what was stolen from me that morning.
“You fucker! I'll talk to my mother because my mother knows me best.” Crescent Moon just sits in the back continuously facehoofing. “Mother knows me, she doesn't know some stuck up bitch who is pretending to be her daughter! Now if you don't mind I'm going to give my report to the royal sisters on how one of his assistants could impersonate a royal guard, future royal guard.”
Other Silver puts the paper away, “Also there was a witness to see you break in my house and steal my stuff.”
“Screw you you're going to take my promotion away from me you bitch! I don't care if you hate him but you're screwing me of my promotion!” I stomp down on the floor.
“You mean MY promotion!” Other Silver growls back.
“Can you make this bitch shut up.” I spun back to Crescent Moon.
“Love to but cant do anything.” He shrugged.
“Do you mean shutting me up like how he killed all sixteen engineers and the train conductor. “ Other Silver growled.
“BULLSHIT!!” he screamed back.
“Just join me in ignoring the bitch, don't give her any attention.” He scowled at the other Silver.
“Fine I'll just tell the guards to ignore you and not feed you!” Other Silver slammed the door visor closed.
“They're not going to even test if I'm the real me.” I complained.
“Not as long as she has that paper, and by the way how do you lose a paper that important.” He poked my chest.
“I forgot about it and it's not my fault the guard didn't ask about it. They should go to jail to for being incompetent.”
“They probably will.” He got up and starts walking around.
“Going to tell my mom, if I could.” I pouted.
“Unless the other you tells her first. And then she will look out for her as though she was you.”
He burst out laughing, “HA! You're on death row with me.”
“How?” I said, with a hint of concern.
“Aiding a criminal.” He said flatly.
“I was just talking to you, that’s all just doing my job.” I aggravatingly stated.
“Yep, but you could have been trying to help me bust out.” He countered.
“I haven't done anything yet!” I argued back.
“Nope. This is someone taking your life from you.” He shrugged, then cuts his arm and went back to work on plotting strange glyphs on the wall.
“Now you have to help me in order to live.” I said sarcastically while impersonating Crescent Moon.
“Nope you don't have to help me, just if you want to get out of here I would need help.” He said smiling, then pressed on one of the symbols on the wall and the whole arrangements of symbols appear the way it was this morning.
“So then, who was your friend?” I glared at him.
“No idea, and they are not my friend she probably targeted you for being nice to me.” He shrugged.
“I was doing this for a promotion!” I slammed my hooves down on every word.
“Hah! Who got screwed over now.” He spinned around to face me just in time for my hoof to connect to his face.
“OW! What was that for?” He yelped in pain and puts a little distance between me.
“I'm not a guard anymore so now I can hit you as much as I want!” I jumped at him just for him to dodge and have my hoof connect to the wall. He tumbled and picked up his helmet up and slid it over his hoof. I pounced at him and tried to pound on him but used the damn helm as a shield.
“You fucker give me that!” I yanked the helm off his hoof.
Suddenly he moves faster than I could see. Clank! His shackles suddenly clamped down on all four of my hooves and he slid to a stop behind me.
“YOU ASSHOLE!” I threw the helm at him only for him to duck it.
“Don't attack me and expect me to do nothing about it.” He spun around and hissed back at her.
“You were laughing at me for this bullshit, I'm going to die with you and will never get my promotion!” I struggled with the chains.
“I was laughing because you're in the same situation as me.” He corrected.
“YOU KILLED PONIES!” I yelled in his face.
“I DIDN'T KILL THEM!” He stood his ground.
We both sat there glaring at each other.
I fight with the chain for a bit, “Take me out of these damn chains! I'm a damn lady and you're a gentleman.”
“Tartarus no! Now, if you will excuse me I need to think of a new plan.” Slowly, he turns around and starts working on the glyphs again.
“This is not funny, my hooves are killing me. These shackles are not made for ponies like me.” I grumbled.
“Only after you promise me you will not hit me I will let you go.” He glanced back.
“Fuck you! my hoof wants to go up your face.” I test how far I can raise my hoof.
“If you try that I'll hit you hard enough with this to knock you out.” He bounces the restraint bar on his back.
“That's why you're the villain!” I pointed out.
“I have seen you take a pony's head off with those hooves so I won't let you hit me.” He continued his work.
“I have taken ponies heads off? When?” I smirked and jabbed at the air a few times. “Okay mister smarty pants how do we get out of here?”
“No idea.” he shrugged.
“Then what are you doing?” I pointed out the obvious marking he has been working on.
“Well now that you are stuck in here with me guess there is no harm in telling you.” He smiled as he finished the glyph he was working on.
“The glyphs on the walls will show the barrier and its strongest/weakest points.”
Looking around this ten by ten by fourteen foot cell I would guess that either the toilet or the light in the ceiling is the weakest point. Walking over, I looked at the toilet and frowned noticing it’s an air toilet, why that's just not fair. “Shit the bottom of it has a damn magic circle.” I frown walked away from the toilet.
“Yep just like the one on the door and please don't break it cus I don't want to spend the rest of my days without a toilet.” He walked beside me and released my cuffs.
“The light is probably the weakest point” I examined the ceiling.
“Maybe, but we won't know that till we can see the barrier.” He layed down on the floor.
“I could help you write the pattern glyphs then.” I thrusted my hoof at him.
Suddenly, he swings the pipe down with a nice ping as it hits the floor. I cringed as a small stream of blood suddenly starts dripping down my hoof.
“BUCK! that hurt why didn't you let me hit the wall with my hoof to make myself bleed. Also, what good will the be I can't command blood like you”.
“Firstly, doing that would only hurt the wall. Second, that would never make you bleed enough. And finally, I can't command blood either so I'm going to take a nap for a little while you do that. Night!” Curling up he fell asleep.
I grumbled to myself as I started drawing the markings on the walls.
I'm too young to be a traitor, should have done something fun like robbed a bank or something cool like that. Well at least helping him gets me the hell out of here I hope. Hmm he looks uncomfortable let's just move him to rest against the toilet. I reached over and gently grabbed him, he jumps up and swing his metal bar at me. “SHIT!” I backed up and watches the bar slam against the ground.
“Mmh oh sorry.” Slowly he stood up and examined the room and marks I had been writing.
“Hey don’t hit me or i’ll kick your ass!” I raised my hooves.
“I said sorry geez! So how did it come out.” He walked over to the center of the room and started cleaning up the meditation circle from yesterday.
“Did quite a bit. I don’t want to stay here any longer!” I whined as I watched him work.
“Let's see if we can find it.” Smiling, he sat down and closed his eyes.
The whole room is enveloped in red light, symbols on walls glow and the barrier became visible. It looks like we were inside a big lamp or a glass room. Magic veins on the wall started to show themselves a beautiful blue against the red. Veins seemed to be everywhere in the room but as they came into focus I could see that some were more concentrated than other parts.
“Ha! I was right.” I smiled to myself.
“What? You didn't say anything.” He started releasing the magic.
“The weak point is on the ceiling, and I did say that while you were sleeping you agreed to pay me too if I got you out” I grinned.
“WHAT?! Actually, fine I'll pay you once we're out of here.” He glared at her.
I glanced at the light, “When do want to do this?”
“Anytime you want.” He stood up and got ready, picking up the two metal bars.
“Does the tiny pony need help getting up?” I sticked out my tongue.
“I will be fine just start.” he grumbled back.
I flied to the ceiling and slammed my front hooves against the glass, shattering into plastic fragments. The edges of my hair singed as I fell down twitching.
“Shit” He tossed his pipes and slid underneath me.
*THUMP*
“Ow” I slowly rolled off his chest.
Suddenly the power flickers.
“Might want to hurry up they probably know what we're doing.”
“Give me minute I just fried myself.” I shook my head as small plums of smoke came out of my hair.
He ran to the door tapped a small glowing area and a zebra glyph appears on the wall.
“That should give us a little time!”
After stretching a little bit I extended my wings and started to ascend the room.
*BANG BANG BANG*
The door shook violently on its hinges.
“ANYTIME NOW!” He said urgently.
Hearing his complaining I pointed one hoof to the ceiling and pulled the other back. This is going to hurt, the roof cracks as I slammed my hoof through the ceiling. The pain feels like a ursa major playing drums on my arms. Debris and blood came down as I smashed my way past the ceiling.
“Um wow.” He stands astonished at the display.
Suddenly, a floor tile uptop shattered and the light from first floor shined into the cell.
“Yes!” I am almost there need to make it bigger then go back and get him. The door slammed open as I finished bashing it open.
“THANKS!”
Why is he than- ow ow ow owow. Looking back she could see that Crescent Moon had hoped up and bit down on my tail! The three guards run in and looked up at us shocked. Flying through the hole I tossed Crescent Moon off my tail and onto the floor. That asshole bit my tail, I tried to comb it better but the braid is beyond repair for now. Did he take some of my tail off? “What the-”
“No time for complaining, time to go.” He said, as that a group of guards entered the first floor hallway and blocked the way we needed to go. We turned around and started running.
“Where are we going?” I asked.
“Storage room.” He answered as we tuned into another hall.
“Why in the right mind are we going there for!?” I asked, confused if this even part of his plan.
“TRUST ME!”
As he said that a pegasus guard jumped at me from the next hall with his spear aimed for my leg. I brought my right hoof back and maneuvered my left hoof across steping on the spear tip breaking it in half. I threw the sharp end to Crescent Moon.
“Fhanks.” He said with a newly acquired spear head in his mouth.
Just for good measure my left hoof went right back up to the poor guard's jaw knocking him out for good. Taking the spear tip he subdued the other guard with a slap from the flat of the blade against his windpipe. Shit more guards at the end of the hall.
“FWOOO OON FHE FEWAY” he yelled something with the spear tip in his mouth but hell if I know what he said.
Two more guards with their swords appear at the end of the hall running at us. He slammed into two of them stabbing the right legs of one and tripping the other. While the last one is distracted I ran towards the other guard and slid towards him smacking him square in the jaw.
“Quick, up the stairs!” he shouted as he rushed up the stairs.
“Any idea why we haven't seen anyone since two floors ago?” I checked again behind me and yep no one.
“Celestia probably ordered the guards to keep it low key if something happened so my guess, we're fucked if we don't hurry.” Spotting the storage room he barged in.
“Why are we he-”
Movement from behind shit! Spinning, I grabbed the sneaking guard and smash him down to the ground.
We spotted a mob of guards started advancing from behind.
“Needed more time.” He started looking around the storage room.
I carefully placed my hoof on the downed guard's neck, “I have a hostage and I'll break his neck if you come any closer.”
All the guards stop advancing towards them except one. A medium black stallion took one step ahead of everyone, that unicorn was an officer.
“You have nowhere to go. We have the building blocked off so no more running just come quietly and no one needs to get hurt.” The stallion said as he took a step forward with a smug look on his face.
After applying a little pressure on our downed guard, he stops advancing and horn starts to glow.
A spear tip suddenly starts flying at him and embeds itself into his horn causing the stallion to scream and stagger back into the sea of guards.
“NO MAGIC!” Crescent Moon screamed.
Guess he was keeping an eye on me along with whatever the fuck he was doing in there.
“Hurry up!” I urged him.
“Don't worry she won't do it.” The fake Silver stated.
She walked past her peers as regal and imposing as if she was Luna herself.
“Don't worry I'll catch the imposer and recapture the crazy. Fake Silver you are charged with assaulting an officer, destruction of public property, assault with a dangerous weapon, theft of government documents, impersonating an officer, and stealing my fucking identity!” She stomped her hoof down.
“Oh you're trying to make me look like the fake now are you. Changeling blood looks different so if I wasn't one my blood wouldn't be red wouldn't it?” I held up her bloody hoof “See it's red she is the fake!” Frowning the other Silver cuts herself on one of the guards blades. The blood is also red. What? but he told me changeling blood is green.
Damn, how am I supposed to prove that- Interrupting my thoughts Ms. Fake changed into a blur that slammed into my chest making me tumble back. Back on my hooves and ow my chest feels like a train hit it. Ms. Fake grabbed the unconscious stallion and got ready to toss him back. As fast as lightning she dropped the guard and launched her self to the side of the hallway. A whistles is heard. Several guards yelled in pain as a bone spear appeared on the wall at the other end of the hall. Blood burst out of two rows of guards from cuts down their sides. Some of the guards took advantage of the situation and rush to grab the hostage. No we still need his stupid ass. Standing up I rushed back to the hostage just to be kicked into the hallway wall by a really annoying fake me.
Three more whistles. What? how? Pulling myself out of the wall that bitch was waiting for me, too bad I was ready for her this time. She swung her front hooves at me and landed a few good hits. She lunged her left front leg at me which I punched her joint away from me followed by smacking my elbow to her face. Taking a quick glance, Crescent Moon has the hostage and the guards are all under cover attempting to avoid the strange spear. Guess he is finally doing something useful.
Yep, definitely regretted looking away as that bitch took my front right leg and tossed me. Spreading my wings, I stop in mid air just for her to buck me against the other wall. Not sure which hurts worse right now my front legs or my body. Dropping off the wall that bitch missed me on the second hit. Reaching out, I grabbed her tail and yanked her off the wall and smash her down on her back. Let's see if this bitch can take the same beating as me. Jumping on top of her I start drilling at her face with my front hooves. Quickly, she brought her hooves up in defense but unlike me she wasn't deflecting the punches but simply covering herself. Payback's a bitch bitch bitch!! Slamming on her front legs fake Silver started to whimper in pain. HA Hahahahahaha oh. As I sat there pounding on her legs she reached up and grabbed my head with her back legs. Then slammed my skull into the ground. Ow now I get to add a migraine to the mix.
Standing was a little tough but she is having trouble getting up aswell. Probably fractured one of her legs, not that she is any worse then I am now. Whatever Crescent is doing he needs to hurry.
“This is enough!” Fake Silver screamed, as she readied her wings up and lunged at me.
Guess me flying up in return wasn't in her plan when she charged at me. Her look up at me was priceless before the double hoof buck she was given. Finally, to put icing on the cake she slid on her face till she reached the wall.
She got up and bolted at me in a blink hitting my chest as I was hovering. I was unable to keep up something was different. It was like time stops just to hold me there so she could pound on me. Then it hit me all at once. The pain made having a train hitting me feel like a walk in the park. I couldn't count the amount of times she hit me but the final results said a fuck ton. The bitch's shadow appeared above me. Placing one hoof on the wall and pulling the other to finish this, her eyes were glowing red.
“Cheater you used magic.” I mutter out barely being able to breathe.
Smiling she whispered, “Night.” and tensrd up ready to crush my skull.
The storage room lit up and Crescent yelled “Silver It's ready!” Stepping out of the room he carried his spear on his back under a bag. Behind him a swirling portal of multi colored clouds cracked up and swirled.
“NOOO!” Fake Silver said without a second look springing off me to stop him. As she got to him his body moved like water. He slid to the side of her hoof and stayed a inch away from her as she overshot him and passed by the swirling cloud portal.
The portal erupted in dust and rocks. The guards all ducked into cover as the hall was filled with dust and Silver was pelted with rocks.
“Silver it's time to go.” Opening my eyes Crescent stood there holding his hoof out to help me up.
“I'm good.” Slowly getting up my body aches and the dusts started to settle.
“Where did she go?”
The 'portal' dissipates showing the fake Silver half through the wall. Hehehe her ass is sticking out.
“One thing first okay?” I said while slowly approaching the fake who was stuck in the wall where the portal was.
“Quick.” he frowned and glanced at the guards.
SMACK!!!! had to give her an ass smack just to rub in the victory bitch. Oh Celestia she made a sound that I never wanted anyone else to hear.
“Time's up!” he yelled as he bolted for the window. Shit he expects me to catch him? I followed him out the third floor window catching him. I had to check how bad this was going to be. Especially since smart ass over here apparently doesn't know a lot of the guards can fly too. Then a huge blue electrified bubble surrounds the hospital and the guards on the other side glared at us as they stood there trapped.
He started laughing at them, “Take that you shitty guards!”
In response I dropped him the last two floors. After moving away a few blocks we stopped and performed passable first aid on me. He was a bit grumpy after I had apparently made him scream like a little filly when I dropped him. On the other hand I am having the best time of my life, well besides now being a wanted criminal.
