Songs of Sorrows

The sound of sirens began to gradually get louder and louder, until they came to a sudden halt. Police officers drifted in one by one. They instructed the civilians to remain still as they began to clear the rooms. It didn't take long for things calm down, as the police officers drifted out. The cafe acted like nothing had happened, regardless of the fact that a colt was killed about twenty minutes ago.

"I guess nows a good time for that song huh?" Royal Flush asked jokingly.

Trebass' only caught part of what she had said, since he had been traumatized of the fact that he practically killed another pony with his own hooves. He had never shot a gun before, he only kept his revolver around for defence. Since Ponyville was a safe area, it was the first time he had ever used his firearm.

"Hellooo?" Royal Flush poked Trebass' chest repeatedly.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, the song..." Trebass snapped out of his trance, and took his guitar to the stage. He sat on the stool, and adjusted the microphone, "This song is for that special mare out there" He spoke into the microphone. He could see Royal Flush smiling and blushing, while staring at the ground. This gave him confidence, enough to sing to all of Ponyville.

He began to strum on his guitar. But the moment his hooves touched it, the strings broke. The audience whispers could be heard throughout the cafe. Giggles echoed through Trebass' ears. He fell from the stool onto his hooves and knees. His breathing began to intensify, sweat traveled down his neck, and his eyes were wide open.

"Shut up...." He whispered to himself quietly. The crowd kept giggling, and laughing.

"Shut... Up..." He whispered to himself again, except this time slightly louder. The crowd couldn't hear his quiet, yet violent, voice.

He stood up with fury in his eyes. "JUST SHUT UP!" He screamed at the top of his lungs and pulled his revolver from his vest.

The crowd screamed as everypony dropped to the floor. The screams turned into quiet whimpering and crying. Royal Flush was the only pony who seemed to hold back her tears. The silence was broken by an insane laughter coming from the stage. Royal Flush peeked from behind her chair to see a horrific sight. Trebass had his revolver pointed at his own head, his eyes bloodshot, and a mad smile on his face.

"Haha.. It's all over! Who's laughing now?! Haha.. haha.." Trebass sounded mental, crazed and sick in the head; all at once.

"STOP!" Royal Flush cried out. She tried to move towards him, but Trebass' revolver snapped towards her.

"DON'T MOVE! You never liked him, you never cared about him. Your just using him! Haha! That's it, isn't it?!" Trebass sounded like a lunatic.

Royal Flush didn't know whether Trebass was referring to himself, or somepony else when he said "Him"

Suddenly, a blue blur appeared from the corner of the room and tackled Trebass off of the stage. The sudden burst of movement was followed by a loud bang. Which was also followed by a loud crash from above. In all the confusion, Trebass had accidentally shot the ceiling lamp; which had shattered into many shards of glass which luckily missed the ponies standing under it. Trebass' assaulter was in clear sight now, but his face was hidden by a helmet. The helmet was golden plated and attached to the two pieces of armour wrapped around the wings of his foe. The masked pegasus began to punch Trebass repeatedly, until a sudden outburst stopped the fight.

"ENOUGH!" Royal Flush grabbed the mysterious pony by the wings and tore him from the half-unconscious Trebass.

"I can't believe you two!" She glared at both of them. Trebass lay on the floor, with blood dripping from his nose. And the other colt, stood as straight as a ruler with his armour on.

"And take off that stupid mask Shock Bolt!" She yelled at the masked colt, revealing his identity.

The blue pegasus removed his mask and his wing armour, to reveal that it was indeed Shock Bolt behind facade.
