An Assassin's Love

Chapter 1: A New Position

I stood outside of the council room where everypony is disgusting over politics, something I do not quite find interesting. I then saw a fancy outfitted guy with blond, groomed hair, and instantly despised him. Blue blood, the steam for brains as Luna called him. He strode over to the door, pausing right beside me.

"Oh look, a crook is here," he mocked. I gave him a stare with no emotion.

"Luna's in there," I said frankly. "It seems like your unfashionably late again," I said. He rolled his eyes and continued. I sighed as I quickly got bored. There is literally nothing to look at in this hallway. Out of all the hallways, I got this one. I then started hearing hoofsteps of guards. I smiled as I have something to look at now. Celestial strides in, crown and all. "Your highness," I said, slightly bowing. She nods back. She strides into the room, strangely with only three guards. Usually she had four surround her. I heard running hoofsteps coming from the other end of the hallway. I got out my hidden blade just in case. Instead of an enemy, a mare with gold armor and sword ran into the wall.

"Stupid armor," she muttered. I cleared my throat, grabbing her attention. "Oh, sorry," she regained a proper posture and stroded into the room. What is it with striding today? I wondered. After five minutes, the mare came back out and leaned against the door, looking down the hallway. I stood in silence, not really bothering to think of a topic. After five minutes I'm wondering why that nopony is gonna attack today. I look over to get a good look at the mare. She had a neon blue coat, and a neon yellow mane. I'm not even going to try to wonder why she is not sneaky. Her eyes though, were forest green. I then looked back forward and remained position. After what seemed like hours, Blueblood walked out of the room, looking furious. He turned to me and then smirked.

"I see that my aunt has stooped so low, that she hires criminals to be her guards," he said. I looked at him, a little angry with what he said.

"And I see that you have became stupid enough to mess with someone who can kill you," I spoke stoically. Blueblood gasped.

"Are you speaking against me peasant!?" He asks.

"No, I'm giving you advice," I said. He growled and turned away. With a fancy shmancy huff he walks away. The mare beside me starts laughing once he's gone. I looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "What's so funny?" I asked. She stopped herself and regained her posture.

"You're the only one who gave him advice for his own safety," she said still smirking. I slowly smiled. "I'm Spada by the way, what's yours?" She asks. I stand in silence for a moment.

"My name's Quickblade," I said. We stood in awkward silence for what seemed like two hours when Luna and Celestial walked out.

"I think that will settle it sister," Luna said. Celestia nodded in response. I looked back at the room inside to see a couple of ponies stayed. It is an old trick in the book. "We should go discuss this in private," Luna continued. Celestia nods. Spada walked with the three other guards in formation. I delayed a little, making sure we aren't followed. I put my hood on and look down the hall to see two ponies coming. I quickly tried to see any weapons. I managed to see one of them carrying a dagger in their boot. I hurried off and caught up with the group.

"Spada, two ponies are following us," I said. Spada looks at me in disbelief.

"Who?" She asks. I looked behind us to see if they're still following.

"I don't know, one has a dagger and the other seems to be unarmed. I'll take out Mr pointy, you take out Mr strong once we stop, got it?" I ask. Spada nods. We continued walking in the maze of hallways, and those two ponies have not stopped following us. If they're gonna try to kill them, at least do it correctly, I thought. We stopped when Celestia and Luna entered a chamber, and all five of us guarded the door. Spada nods at me and I walked to the corridor where the attackers had stopped.

"Dude, there's five of them, one of them is an Assassin! I am gonna die if I try!" One said.

"He's a pegasus, you are a unicorn, do the math," the other said.

"Fine, but I'll kill you again if we're in hell," he said. I got out my hidden blades. Never mind about the plan, I can take care of these two. I have two pistols ready to fire. I got out from my hiding place and shot the guy who tried to encourage his friend.

"Oh crap," the unicorn said. I got out the other gun and aimed at his leg. I shot, the unicorn falling over. This will be an easy interrogation. I walked towards him and picked him up. I walked over to a window, rope darted his leg, and dangled him from the window."Oh Celestia please no!" He screamed.

"What are you doing?" Spada asked as she got a sight of me.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm interrogating," I said. She gives me an unamused look.

"Pull him in right now," she said. I rolled my eyes.

"This'll be quick, give me a second," I said. I leaned out the window.

"Hey buddy, who sent you here?" I asked. The unicorn kept babbling on for me to not drop him. "I will drop you if you don't answer my question!" I yelled.

"Alright alright I'll answer your questions! Just pull me up dear Celestia please!" He screams.

"Thank you crybaby," I said, pulling him in. I took out the rope dart, looking him in the eyes. "Last time, who sent you here?" I ask.

"I don't bucking know! I just got this letter today asking me to kill Luna or else I'd die!" He said. I face palmed at this coward. I got out my hidden blade and aimed for the neck.

"Quickblade! No!" Spada said before I ended his misery. I groaned.

"Why do you think you're the boss of me?" I ask her.

"Because I am a Captain, I outrank you," she said. I shook my head.

"No, actually you don't, I outrank you," I said simply, pulling the unicorn back with a rope dart.

"At least leave him to live because we need to interrogate him too," she said, crossing her arms. I sighed.

"Fine, here's your suspect," I said. The unicorn started babbling on how thankful he was of the mercy he's been given. I watched as the unicorn was taken away by three guards. Celestia and Luna opened the chamber doors.

"What was all the fuss?" Celestia said.

"Before I answer your question do I outrank Quickblade?" Spada asks.

"Okay, Luna, be honest and try your best to let miss bright as a sun here down easy since I obviously outrank her," I said. Celestia and Luna started giggling at our fight.

"What did I tell you, perfect team," Luna said. Spada and I have our eyes wide open, shocked at the news.
