Everyponies eyes widened, the princesses, ponies wanted them dead. Their reactions where varied , Twilight sat there with her mouth open wide, Cadence stared at the floor, Luna looked like she might explode and Celestia glared down harder at the four... assassins.

The room was quiet again every soul waiting to see what the princess would do, but she only raised her eye brows and said " Who is your leader?"

The ponies before looked at the mare once again" I'm so sorry your highness, we decline to share that information." The mare stared defiantly up at the deity of the sun, but Celestia switched her gaze to look at the three WonderBolts, who in turn nodded back.

Rainbow Dash stepped forward, still limping from her wound. She gestured for one of the guards to follow her, as she walked up to the ponies who had tried to rid them of their leaders. As she approached, the mare snorted at her" What's she gonna do, do a flip and captivate us to tell you? Ha!"

The look on Soarins face was outraged, he took a step forward, but Spitfire put a hoof on his back, shaking her head.

" Seriously, we're not afraid of a little filly!" The mare laughed again, rolling around in hysterics. It was then that Twilight heard the voice of her long lost friend for the first time in two years.

"Oh really?" She said in her raspy voice that had become softer, more feminine," Well you should be..." and the guard behind her handed her an object, said object happened to be a knife.

Rainbow suddenly jumped on the mare, pinning her to the floor. She raised the knife and brought it down upon the still laughing mare, silencing her and the other assassins, along with all the other ponies seated in the room, except from two certain alicorns.

Twilight looked away as the knife came down, unable to bear the sight of blood. She looked back when there was a strangled sob. The mare was led on her back, hooves covering her face, wings spread out and a dagger sticking out of the right one. Rainbow Dash stood above her, scowling down at her fiercely" I'll ask you one more time, who do you work for!?" Everypony but the wonder bolts, Celestia and Luna where cowering back in fear of the cyan mare, how could this once kind hearted spirit be so, so cruel.

" No! I won't, I... I can't!" The mare sobbed, wriggling around on the floor, trying to escape the other mares strong hold.

" Alright then." Rainbow said, as she reached forward and twisted the knife in the mares wing. The blood curdling scream made some ponies faint.

" Alright, alright! I'll tell you!" The mare looked up into Rainbows gem like eyes and said three words" He sent me..." and she passed out on the floor surrounded by her own blood, and not the blood of the ponies she and her companions had come to kill.
