Angel Unknown

The assailant slowly regained focus, finding something bipedal and lavender standing in front of him.

"Wake up." The bipedal one commanded. There was no response. "I said, wake up." He put the scythe to his neck, the cold, metallic feeling jolting the changeling awake.

Once it's vision cleared, it saw the target of the assassination attempt. "You..."

"That's right. It's me you little shit." Obvious rage tinting Luminous's voice.

Twilight recoiled a little at his sudden use of foul language.

"I admit. You did a good job hiding from us this long human." The changeling said, venom coating the word human.

"Why do you want to kill me?" Luminous bluntly said.

"Oh? Did I make it that apparent?" The changeling grinned smugly.

Luminous slowly felt even more rage beginning to overcome him. "Why do you want to kill me?"

"Like i'd tell an outsider."

"Am I really going to have to do this?"

"You won't get any-AHHHHH! Mother of Chrysalis, it hurts! It hurts!" It began flailing it's arms and fore leg back and forth, somehow hoping to get rid of the pain. Looking down, the Changeling saw it's green blood spewing from it's leg, while the leg itself was lying on the ground. It looked back up and saw the bipedal, holding a weapon over it's shoulder, covered in dripping, green blood.

"Well, I'm surprised any neighbors haven't come to knock and say hi."

Twilight stared in absolute horror. The lengths he would go to in order for some information was unbearable. He cut off it's for Celestia's sake! "Luminous! Why would you do that?!" She screamed in absolute horror and shock as to what Luminous had just done.

"It's called interrogation. It's a method humans use to get info out of terrorists and or criminals." He glanced back to the changeling, who was gritting its teeth hoping the pain would soon disappear. "Though, they only go to this length back in the old days."

"Just because you want info out of them doesn't mean you have to cut off their limbs!"

Suddenly, the door to the library burst open and Applejack suddenly busted inside the library. "Twi! are you..." Her sentence faded off as she took in the image before her. A changeling, strapped to a chair with a limb missing with Luminous being the apparent victim as there was blood on the scythe he was holding.

"What in tarnation did ya go doin' that for?!" She said in a half shout, half question.

His glare somehow managed to turn even darker than before. "I should have figured. It's always friends and or enemies first, then it's whatever else. Do you do this to all foreign visitors to or just me?"

"What are ya-" Applejack stopped when she felt a hoof stop her from moving forward.

"He's right Applejack. We're sorry we never listened to your part of the story. Please go on. We're listening."

Luminous's glare lifted and was replaced by a slight smile. "Thank you Twilight. What happened before was-"

Suddenly, something dark green slowly wrapped around the changeling's chest, revealing something strapped and ticking quickly.
