“GODDAMMIT SIN!!” a voice boomed through the hallways.

Thundering hooves and flapping of wings came down the hall, turning sharply around the corner and speeding up. Speeding down the hallway was none other than Sin, himself. He stopped galloping and stuck to flying until he saw some pipes up ahead. He quickly adjusted his wings, just barely making it under the pipes, slightly scraping his back.

“Ah fuck! Just got the last scar on my back stitched up,” Sin shrugged as he carried on. “Well it’s only minor so whatever!”

Right on his trail was Nightshade. Her eyes glowing with pink aura as she fumed with anger while chasing after the bigger stallion. She snarled, her teeth baring as aura appeared out of the small gaps behind her teeth and in between them.

“SIN! GET YOUR FUCKING ASS BACK HERE!!!!” She hollered as the aura helped speed her up.

Sin, for once, looked back with fear instead of his cocky hardheadedness. When he thought she was gone, he slowed his pace. He turned his focus in front of him, but immediately stop when he ran into an all too familiar figure that he was hoping to avoid. He then flopped onto his back, staring up at the pony. In front of him stood Nightshade. Her glare seemed to burn right through him. She stepped forward, pink aura leaving slight burn marks in the ground as her heavy hooves pressed against the ground. Sin backed up trying to avoid Nightshade as best as he could. He finally stopped when he realized he was now up against the wall. He looked up at Nightshade slowly, yet cautiously. She snarled as she took another step, now standing over the larger stallion, her right eye visibly twitching. After a minute, she took a deep breath and sighed, her expression hardening as she glared daggers at him.

“Now… I’d like an explanation as to why…. YOU WOULD TAKE THE CRYSTALS FROM MY DAMN OFFICE AND USE THEM AS FIREWORKS!!!!” She growled in his face.

“N-now captain! I c-can explain!” Sin sputtered.

“Well? I’m waiting.” She said as she slightly tapped her hoof, her patience beginning to run out.

“W-well y-you s-s-see….. I-I… I… I um… it… well um….” He stuttered, his voice reaching an octave higher s his voice cracked.

Nightshade furrowed her brows, her expression getting angrier and more impatient by the minute.

“Sin. I swear to Celestia’s sex dungeon, if you don’t tell me, I am going to castrate you right here and right now.” She said, her voice cold and harsh.

She raised her hoof above Sin’s stallionhood, slowly getting ready to stomp.

Sin’s eyes widened, a squeak escaping his throat in fear as he crossed his legs. He flailed his front two hooves immediately.

“Ok! OK! I’ll spill it!” He quickly yelled out.

Nightshade raised her hoof more before pulling it back and putting it back onto the ground.

“Go on. I’m listening.” She said, a slight tone of anger in her voice.

Sin sat up a bit, his legs still crossed, and explained.

“It started with me, Ruin, and Moon….”

*flashback*

“Hehehehehe! YES! She’ll never suspect it!” Cackled Ruin, running his hoof through his golden blonde mane.

Sin grinned, slightly laughing.

“Yeah, her reaction will be pretty priceless. The good ol’ firecracker prank. She sits down, a couple go off. Priceless!”

Moon stood there, an eyebrow raised in annoyance before speaking up

“You two idiots are going to get yourselves killed by this stupid shit.” He said, his expression stoic and cold.

“Awww Moony-Moon! You’re no fun! What is she going to do about it, hmmmm?”

Moon stayed quiet, glaring.

“Nothing. That’s what I thought.” Ruin said before going back to his shenanigans.

Ruin levitated the crystals with his own crystal aura and set them in Nightshade’s chair, around it, and even some sprawled out on her desk. The crystals glowed, slightly sparkling a light flame around them as they made small clinking sounds. Sin put them in some of her drawers, and he and Ruin even took some of the crystals and hid them elsewhere. Moon shook his head slowly, obviously not approving of this whole scheme.

“You two can stay here and get caught. She will be returning soon and I am NOT going to stick around and lose my balls because of you two morons.” Moon said as he walked off, using his crystals to turn him invisible when he passed by Nightshade who was heading towards her room.

Ruin’s ears flicked forward causing him to glance at the door and immediately poof away. Sin turned around, looking around for Ruin and Moon.

“What? Where’d you guys-?” He was cut off when Nightshade opened the door.

She stared at him for a minute, her eyebrow raising as she slightly glared.

“Sin…. What the hell are you doing in my room?” She asked, her tone sounding quite annoyed with him.

“Oh! Cap’n! I um… I was looking for you… But! I seem to have found you, so… I’m just going to….go…. BYE!” He shouted as he quickly ran out the door.

Nightshade stared at him and his odd behavior before shaking her head and going to sit at her desk. Just as she sat down, the crystals went off, causing paperwork to go everywhere. Her desk was in pieces as the chair was forced backwards from the force. She quietly snarled, eventually getting louder and louder. Her head shot over the chair as she immediately stood up and hauled ass after Sin, the only thought on her mind was to find him and beat him senseless.

*flashback over*

“Aaaand yeah….. So by the time I looked, both Ruin and Moon were gone.” Sin said, finishing his explanation.

Nightshade continued to glare, stepping closer again.

“So you assisted them with this little prank of yours?” She asked.

“Uh...yeah…” Sin said guiltily.

“That’s all I needed to hear.” She said with a sigh.

Sin flinched at first then stopped and looked at her.

“Oh, so I’m not in tro-?” he was cut off with a swift blow to the crotch.

He froze and fell to his side, his forehooves in between his hind legs. Nightshade grabbed him by the neck and brought him close, quietly growling in his face.

“If you pull that shit one more time, I’m going to make a catheter out of sparklers and light it. Got it?”

Sin nodded quickly, his voice slightly cracking as he was thrown back to the ground on his side, grunting in slight pain. Nightshade huffed before walking away and down the hall. She glanced around before continuing on her way, eventually running into another figure, but this time, smaller than her. She readjusted herself and glanced down at the figure, her eyes widening before narrowing into a glare. Standing before her was Moon. He glanced up at her before standing in a still pose and saluting to her.

“Afternoon Captain.” He said, his voice strict and command like.

“I was looking for Ruin, but you’re another pony I wanted to see….” She said, her voice sounding dark and a little angry.

Moon looked up, getting a little nervous for a moment. He then realized what this might be about.

“Those two idiots did it, didn’t they?” Moon asked flatly.

“Yes. Yes they did. I just dealt with Sin. I’m trying to find Ruin now. But I figured he’s your little fucktoy and you might know where he is.” She said.

Moon’s eyes widened as a subtle blush crept across his face.

“Captain! I would NEVER refer to him as my….fucktoy….” Moon said with a visible shudder.

“Oh hush, Moon. You know he is. Just accept it. But anyway, have you seen him?” She asked once again.

Moon shuddered again before huffing and answering.

“Last time I saw those two dumbasses, was in your room setting up the crystal firework prank. Sin, you obviously caught. But the nutcase is more than likely hiding in the shadows, or in his room.” He spoke in his serious tone.

“Alright. And Moon?” She looked back at him.

“Yes Captain?” He replied.

“If I see him wanking it off, I am immediately putting him in your room…” She said before walking off.

Moon stared, wide-eyed.

“Thanks for that lovely image, Captain….” He grunted before wandering off.

“You’re quite welcome, Commander.” She said as she made her way farther away from Moon.

Nightshade slowly walked down the hallway, the clip-clop of her hooves being the only sounds, beside the engines of the fortress that were slightly heard. She looked into the darker parts of the hallways, her eyes narrowing and squinting as she tried to find the crazed stallion. She said nothing, but instead activated her crystals as a light source to help see the darker areas a bit better. The crystal let out a soft pink glow, lighting up the shadows a bit better. She scanned around, on the walls and in the crooks of the floors and walls. Just as she ran the crystal across one area near the ceiling, she stared. Hanging there upside down by his tail, was none other than Ruin. His eyes black with white pupils as he grinned and cackled mischievously. He spread his wings as he dived down and full on tackled Nightshade to the ground and laughed.

“Oh heeeeyyyyyyyy! Cap’n!!!!” Good to see your commanding face around these halls!” He laughed as he flopped over on his back.

Nightshade gave him a flat look as she grabbed him by his neck instantly. He snickered and poofed from her grip and hovered upside down.

“Ruin, I recommend you knock it off before you piss me off more than I already am. Especially after that little prank you and Sin pulled. Moon, I didn’t have to do anything to. He’s one of the good commanders. You and Sin on the other hoof….” She paused, glaring at Ruin again as he perched on top of her head.

“Aww Cap’n! Come on! You know you love us!!” Ruin sneered.

“Um. Yeah, no. Having crystals that can be limited blow up on your desk from two idiots pisses me off.” She scoffed and huffed.

Just as she tried to grab the annoying stallion, he spread his wings, and with one large flap, he was in the air hovering above her head. She glared at him, opening her wings and lifting off.

“Ruin. You’re testing my patience….” She said, a slight growl in the back of her throat.

Ruin only cackled and flew around in circles.

“Oh Cap’n… So simple minded. So easily angered. It’s so amusing. You are so blind at times, I swear. But it’s fun to go along with your little games. Just to watch you try and figure it out.” He said, a hiss in the back of his throat.

Nightshade snarled as she sped up and attempted to tackle him but received a sudden block.

“Tsk tsk tsk… Cap’n… Haven’t you learned yet? It’s never a good idea to mess with the crazy ones!” He grinned psychotically.

Nightshade stared, her look only growing angrier and angrier. Ruin found pure amusement out of all of this. She already knew she wouldn’t be able to get a hold of him, quite annoyed by the fact of it. She sighed in annoyance then glared at him.

“You are probably the one to test nerves…. But I’m going to let you off…. Even though I SHOULDN’T. But I swear to Luna’s fake ass cheek, if you come into my office and pull that shit again, I am going to kill you straight up on the spot.

Ruin snickered, grinning widely.

“Awww, whatever you say, Cap’n. Hearing that makes me think you actually have….” he gasped “A HEART!” he fell back and started laughing.

Nightshade rolled her eyes before quickly socking Ruin upside the head.

“Don’t do it again, fuckwit.” SHe growled as she started making her way back to her office.

She walked down the hallway, it getting dark in some areas and lighter in others. She turned a hallway and continued walking, immediately spotting her office and sighing, knowing the mess she’ll have to clean when she gets in there. She then opened the door to her room, and immediately, she got a pie launched at her face and a bucket of water dropped to her head. All was heard was a cackle in the distance as she growled and snarled out.

“GODDAMMIT RUIN, YOU MOTHERFUCKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
