I was in school when the incident happened. There was a commotion in the town center. I can only tell what I have heard. It was a two weeks after our connection with Wavelength. Two stranger came to Canterlot for something. Nopony knows what, not until they were done.

"So, is the answer 4.5?" Mystic asked Wavelength

"Not quite, you arranged the equation wrong," Wavelength said.

"Hm? What did I do wrong?" Mystic asked.

"You forgot a number, the number 8. The answer should be 0.5625" Wavelength said.

"...Whoops, that's a big mistake. Thanks, Wave," Mystic said

"And what about yourself, Techno?" Wavelength asked

"I got 1.125... What did I do wrong?" Techno wondered

"Let me see... that's a square root 4. Not 4" Wavelength replied.

The lunch bell rang. "Okay class, we'll continue this when you get back," the teacher said.

We had no idea what was going to happen. It wasn't going to be a normal day anymore. It was in the town center.


Outside the town center

"Simply foolish. The capital to be this under guarded," A red unicorn with orange mane said.

"Blaze, you do know this place has a lot of guards," a big burly brown Pegasus said.

"Hah! Have you forgotten, Anchor? Though Celestia is queen, she's a terrible ruler. This crime will show that" Blaze said smiling.

"Sorry sir, you're right!" Anchor said.

They were in the town center. They were waiting for someponies. The Tree family.

They were on their way home from the store when they ran into each other.

"Ah finally, you took your sweet time getting here," Blaze said, sounding rather amused.

"Who are you?" Tree Flame's mother stopped and asked

"You don't need to worry about 'who I am?' and more of 'what am I going to do?'. Alexandra," Blaze said in a charming voice.

"What are you talking about?" Tree's father chimed in.

"You too, mister. You won't be missed" Blaze said as an eerie grin came across his face.

"What the-" Alexandra said before getting attack by Anchor

"Get off her!" Tree's father said

"No! Get the kids to safety!" She said, struggling to free herself.

"Haha, you're not escaping!" Blaze said as he grabbed Tree's father in a magical spell.

"Tree! Take your brother and run!" Tree's father said

Tree Flame looked at his father in shock, too scared to do anything.

"I said GO!" Tree Flame's father yelled again

At that moment, Tree Flame grabs his brother's hoof and ran as fast as he could away from the town center. He didn't see much as he fled, but what he did see was his parents getting killed, and nopony to stop them. Soon he was out of sight.

"Should we leave him?" Anchor asks

"The kid can't do anything, leave him. It's less trouble we have to go through" Blaze said with a smile on his face.

"What about these bodies?" Anchor asked

"Leave them, we need to go now. With them gone, we can move on to phase 3" Blaze said as he started to trot away. Then he teleported them both back to their base.


It was halfway through recess when we were told what happened. A crime has occurred so you all get to go home for the day. Our parents came to pick us up and take us home. When we saw Techno's mother in tears, we knew something wasn't right, but we weren't told until we got home.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Techno asked, worried.

"Your aunt died," She told them all

"A-auntie died...?" Techno studdered

"Miss Alex is gone...?" Mystic asked

"Who died?" Wavelength asked

"Alexandra Flame, my sis..." Techno's mother

Techno started to tear up and Mystic tried to comfort him. I tried, it was bad, knowing somepony close to you is in a bad state. He may not have known her too well, but he loved her just as well. Wavelength may have seemed heartless, but she didn't really know her too well. Wavelength tried to act empathetic, though.

Those two, Blaze Runner and Anchor Temper, where the two that would cause all the ponies I know pain and suffering. I've been known to be nice a friendly, but those two, I'd never forget them or forgive them. I didn't know who they were just yet though.


"Phase 2 is complete, sir. Now on to capturing that 'pegasus'" Blaze said, looking rather pleased
