//-------------------------------------------------------// Information On An Enemy -by Evictus- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Sorting Out Another Possible Situation //-------------------------------------------------------// Sorting Out Another Possible Situation Rarity was going over to Princess Twilight's castle as she had important intel about a criminal activity going on over in Appleloosa that could possibly threaten the monarchy. Rarity knew that this situation had been going on for a while but she had only learned about it two nights ago after she had a meeting with Cheerilee at the Ponyville school house about Sweetie Belle because after the meeting she had overheard a guard mention it on the way out of the classroom. She questioned the guard on how he knew about it and he said that he learned it from a trespasser in that tried to get past Canterlot's security and was arrested for it. She was skeptical about it first but decided to try and find out about it anyway. She met with prosecutors for advice and they advised her to mention it to Twilight so that's where she was going right that moment. Rarity knew that she could never take action against the activity herself which was why Twilight or Celestia would have to deal with it with the elements or something. Rarity had been worried about the activity since she found out about it, she knew that this Intel was probably hinting at possible villians she would have to get together with her friends to defeat, she hoped that their werent to many. When she entered the castle she went to the throne room expecting Twilight to be there but found that it was empty so she went up to Twilight's room. When she entered she saw that Twilight was on the floor doing a Salah. Rarity knew that she should have knocked but had forgotten in that moment due to the situation weighing down on her mind. She watched Twilight pray as she stood by the door patiently. She thought about leaving for a bit and coming back but then realized that it would be unessessary to do since she had already walked in on Twilight. She decided that she would knock next time. Rarity waited Twilight to finish and when she finally stood up and went over to her friend and Rarity greeted her. "Asalamu alaykum." Rarity said. "Alaykumu s-Salam." Twilight greeted her back, Rarity handed her the paper, Twilight grabbed it from her. "What's this?" Twilight said looking it over wondering what it was that Rarity was showing her. She then realized what it said by the time Rarity told her about it. "Intel from the royal guard is saying a warning of a possible crime syndicate in Appleloosa. Nobody knows what they are doing exactly and it's frustrating since we cant just send a spy to find out about it." Rarity said. "Applejack doesnt know?" Twilight asked as she looked over the paper as she thought over the details and wondered what to do. "No. Besides she wouldnt know because she lives in Ponyville." Rarity said as she wondered if Twilught forgot during that moment that they were speaking. "But she does kow the area so she should have some idea." Twilight said as she read the information, she set it down in her room and walked back out. "I want you go to see Applejack about it, if we need to take action we will bring the elements but I dint think that will be necessary." Twilight stated. "You dont think their will be a civil war do you?" Rarity asked. Twilight thought about the possibility doubting that it would actually happen and if it did happen it would be very short lived since they had enough man power to stop it. "If there is one we will either have to deploy the elements of harmony meaning all of us will have to get together. Or we can deploy the royal guard which would cause us possibly casualties but nothing to serious." Twilight said, Rarity sighed. "Great! Another thing we have to worry about. Alert Canterlot about it. Celestia will have to evacuate Canterlot." Rarity advised Twilight. Twilight hated to hear that but she knew that it was a possible move she would have to take in order to protect Celestia. "Do you really think that's necessary?" Twilight asked. Rarity nodded sadly "Yes unfortnetly. We can't make the same mistake that Celestia and us made during Chrysalis's infiltration of Shining Armor and Cadences wedding. We must be alert and we must believe the gut feeling that something is wrong." Rarity said. "Alright I'll make sure it's done. Thanks Rarity." Twilight said. Rarity left and went to talk to Applejack. Applejack gave her all the information that she knew. Once they did this they carefully plotted how they ould go about attacking the attackers, one wrong move and the entire monarchy could be in trouble. They also worried about the elements of harmony, they knew that the criminals could get their hands on Equestria' best defensive weapons and corrupt them making them work against Equestria. They decided to hid them during the days when they went about the plan. After this they lured the criminals to Ponyville under a false pretense that they would help the criminals. Once the attackers got there Applejack dropped logs on the area of where the criminals were hurting them. They ones that were hurt would be locked up in Tartarus for several years or for the rest of their lives as threatening the monarchy was a serious offense. After they did this they went to work on arresting the remaining threats that were still loose in Equestria. They were able arrest the remaining criminals and take them away once this was done they got the elements back and met up a day later. "That's not the end of it you know. They will have back ups. If they have future criminals plan a retaliation then we should take safety precautions." Twilight stated. "You got it." Rarity said. They went to work on these new protections for the monarchy and themselves as well They made sure to be very precise when they went over these protections as they had to be adequate enough to protect them as they were designed to. Once they did the criminals stayed away although Twilight and her friends knew that they would be back. Twilight told the rest of her friends what had happened and they warned her to watch for the return of more enemies.
