Fable 2: Equestrian Cove

Dear Princess Celestia

Today the showmage Trixie came into town and started damaging property. Aside from damages to the town she hurt two of the Elements, Rainbow Dash and Applejack. I'm sure she would have destroyed the whole town. None of us could have stopped her if we tried, she was stopped though, not by anypony though. Trixie was stopped by a monster, it took Trixie's most powerful offensive spell like it was nothing and returned a shock spell ten fold. I fear the worst from this creature, it didn't physically harm Trixie, instead it took her to who knows where.

I feel the best course of action would be to send guards to detain the creature. Please, heed my warning and send guard to Ponyville.

Your faithful student

Twilight Sparkle.

PART FIVE: THE PRINCESS

Sparrow walked along side Trixie down the road to Ponyville. "Sparrow, remember when you first saw me, back in town, ponies were afraid of you, one called you a monster and even tried to attack, don't you think they would have prepared for our return? Guards and such?" Trixie started.

"Nothing I can't handle." Sparrow responded.

"Wouldn't fighting not be a good idea?"

"I suppose even self-defense would get me into some trouble." Sparrow thought. (Don't you fucking criticize me, Sixteen!)

"Let's just hope Twilight didn't get paranoid and send a letter of 'warning' to Celestia." Trixie laughed before stopping in her tracks.

"What's wrong Trixie? Well shit." Sparrow facepalmed. "She did just that...didn't she?"

"Probably." Trixie sighed.

"Good! Good!" Twilight clapped her hooves together as she spotted the Canterlot guard patrol walk into Ponyville.

"Geez Twilight, you didn't need to invite all those mean guards to Sparrow's party." Pinkie said, appearing behind Twilight.

"Why don't you see that he is dangerous? He has usable magic! Dangerous magic!" Twilight argued.

"I think you are just jealous that he is more powerful than you. If that scares you, think about this, Viper could turn you into a rabbit if he wanted to!" Pinkie laughed "That would be funny!" Pinkie topples over in a giggle fit.

"You keep talking about this 'Viper', but does it even exist?"

"Of course he does! Hold on for a second." Pinkie puts her hooves on and invisible wall and pulls it apart.

"Pinkie! What are you doing!"

"Not important!" Pinkie sticks her head in the tear and speaks to an unseen being

"Can you just do this for me?"

"No Pinkie! You're already ruining the flow of the story!"

"Plllleeeaaassseee?"

"Ffffiinne"

Pinkie takes her head out of the tear and closes it back up. Twilight turns into a parrot.

"See? I asked him to do that!" Pinkie exclaimed as Twilight returns to her normal form.

"B-b-b-b-but that doesn't make any sense! How did you! Never mind..." Twilight sighs.

"This won't work anyways. He won't fight." Pinkie laughs again before disappearing.

"Pinkie...? Where did you go..."

Trixie looked towards the town from a bush and spotted several large patrols. "Sparrow, she did. She prematurely branded you a monster." Trixie sighed.

"Well, two options, we walk into town, I get arrested for no reason, you get arrested for attacking them earlier, or, we walk into town and ignore the guards as much as possible." Sparrow suggests.

"I choose the latter." Trixie stomps a hoof. "And if it fails?"

"Well, arresting me would not be a very good idea. Lets keep it at that." Sparrow laughs.

They walk into Ponyville's market and are immediately spotted by a group of guards. "I'm pretty sure that one is Twilight's brother, I don't remember his name though." Trixie whispers.

'Okay, this is obviously the monster, Celestia said to detain it at any cost.' Shining Armor thought to himself. "You! Stop right there criminal scum!" He shouts. Sparrow and Trixie keep walking though. "Stop!"

"I think they're ignoring you." A guard points out.

"I said stop!" Shining conjures a blade and holds it to Sparrow's chest in hopes to stop him. Sparrow laughs and jerks forward, causing the blade to jab into him. "Oh Celestia..."

Sparrow laughs.

"I suggest you leave, you won't get me." Sparrow gets down to eye level with Shining. "I'm not going to attack you." Sparrow pulls the blade out and smashes it. "So yeah..."

"We have orders to detain you! Submit and we won't hurt you." Another guard chimes.

"It's not worth it." Sparrow sighs.

"We also have orders to detain the showmage Trixie, and she doesn't put up much of a fight." A guard steps toward Trixie with cuffs in his magic. Sparrow see's this and stabs The Daichi into the ground in front of Trixie.

"You're not arresting her either." He says coldly. Something clicks in the guards brain and he falls over in false pain, making it look as though Sparrow had attacked him. "How did I know that would happen?"

"I am charging you with assault on a guard and terrorizing Ponyville!" Shining shouts quickly.

"I'll go, but you will regret it seriously." Sparrow lets himself be cuffed along side with Trixie.

"Sparrow! What the hay!" Trixie scolds.

"Trust me, I know what I'm doing." Sparrow laughs.

Celestia sat atop her throne in wait of this so called 'monster' her student warned her about. "Luna dear, what do you think this 'monster' will look like?" Celestia asked her sister.

"I imagine something like a mix of a Manticore and Diamond Dog." Luna answers.

"That's silly." Celestia laughs. She hears doors opening and closing outside the chamber. "I think our guests have arrived."

"Princess we have caught the monster and the showmage." Shining takes a knee. "The monster hurt a guard while we tried to stop it's rampage."

"A you kidding me?" Sparrow laughs "None of that happened!"

"Yeah, Sparrow didn't do any of that!" Trixie repeats.

"Quiet!" Shining demands.

"Monster, give me your side of the story." Celestia commands.

"Where do I start? Oh yeah. After helping Trixie deal with family problems, we returned to a Ponyville full of guards, we tried to ignore them for we, well, I had done nothing wrong. Your guard stabbed me when I ignored him. I tried to defend Trixie and another guard faked an injury so you could charge me with assault." Sparrow explains in a truthful tone.

"Is this true, captain?" Celestia asks Shining.

"He jerk forward and caused my blade to stab into him!" Shining argues.

"And I wasn't rampaging!" Sparrow adds.

"You seem innocent enough, but you are obviously too dangerous to let roam free. I will hold you for examination here in the castle." Celestia states in a 'you are doing this because fuck you' tone. "But, Trixie will be arrested for harming two of the Elements."

"What gives you the right to detain a royal official?" Sparrow put his plan into action.

"What do you mean? Trixie is not a royal official." Luna says.

"She is my royal official." Sparrow smirks. "And you are not holding me here for any reason."

"You are not royalty either!" Celestia booms.

"Oh but I am. You have arrested the king of Albion for no reason, if you do not release me and my official I will take it as an act of war...and you do not want me as an enemy." Sparrow stands and snaps the cuffs off his legs and wrists.

"Albion doesn't exist!" Luna states.

"Yes, sister...it did." Celestia sighs. "It used to be on this planet, but I had to destroy it. I didn't know where it went."

"Yes, now, drop the charges or war." Sparrow demands.

"I will drop the charges on one condition." Celestia says.

"And what would that be?" Sparrow laughs.

"That you beat my top guards to prove you could handle a war by yourself." Celestia smirks 'There's no way he could beat them...weaponless'. "No weapons, my student said you have magic, so that is what you will use."

"You're just making it easier for us!" Shining says arrogantly.

"I'll do it." Sparrow agrees.

"Shining Armor, Midnight Storm, Spark Weaver, and Feather Blitz versus Sparrow. This should be fun." Luna claps her hooves. "We'll make an event of it!"

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna formally invite you to a battle!
