Illusio and Sandbar were mere inches from each other, ready to strike. Rainbow was off to the side, barely able to see what was happening through her protection. She could only see one thing for sure.

Neither of the boys were moving at all.

One of the mirror shards started floating. "Let me tell you something. When I ended up in this world, I immediately started looking for work. This being Equestria, I wasn't having much luck. Then someone attacked me, apparently desperate to get away from the royal guards. Me being an assassin, that didn't work out well for him."

Sandbar's eye was twitching. So... cold...

"But that caught the royal guard's attention. They brought me to the castle, where I met our old boss, Risotto Nero, and my old partner, Melone. Sure enough, they were able to vouch for my skills, so now I'm working with my old boss once more. I got extremely lucky to meet them again."

Rainbow struggled to get a better view of what was happening. "What the heck is going on?"

"What I'm trying to say is that finding our old team would be like finding a needle in a haystack. There's so much hay, or other creatures in this case, that it's near impossible to find that one little needle, or that specific person you used to know. So I don't fault you for not trying to find any of us. You almost certainly wouldn't have."

Illusio swallowed as he looked through the mirror at the white griffon as he adjusted his glasses.

"But at the same time, there would never have been a hit on these two. Our new boss wouldn't have allowed that."

The griffon took a deep breath.

"SO WHY ARE YOU ATTACKING THEM? THERE'S NO MONEY INVOLVED! AND YOU WOULD END UP HUNTED IF YOU KILLED EITHER OF THEM! GET OUT OF THAT MIRROR AND BRING THE TWO OF THEM WITH YOU, YOU DIPSHIT! WE HAVE IMPORTANT MISSIONS TO DO! SO STOP TRYING TO DO SOMETHING THAT WILL ONLY GET US ALL KILLED!"

"OKAY! OKAY! OKAY!" The three creatures went from the mirror world to the real world in a flash, where the white griffon was waiting. "We're out! See? I won't hurt them! I promise!"

Rainbow tested her hooves for a full second before her Stand wrapped itself around her. "Urk! Get off! You're crushing me!"

The griffon grabbed the changeling. "I'M NOT THE ONE YOU NEED TO MAKE THAT PROMISE TO! THAT WOULD BE OUR NEW BOSS! I CAME HERE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH THE HOSPITAL! I ONLY NOTICED WHAT WAS HAPPENING HERE BECAUSE I SAW SANDBAR'S STAND ACTIVE!"

Sandbar sighed. "These two are a real pair, huh Rainbow?" Sandbar looked around. "Rainbow?" He ran to the end of the alley, where he caught sight of Rainbow flying towards the hospital. "Ghiaccio, did you just say something happened at the hospital?"

"Yeah. Secco got it."

Sandbar looked at his partner. Why is she freaking out? Is one of her friends there right now?

"You got involved with the Hospital incident, didn't you?"

"So? Rarity was in danger... I owe her."

"That didn't make it the right move. Imagine if... found out."

"I already know."

"Urp!"

"Hehehe. You're in trouble."

"Don't talk for her!"

"I don't blame you... That being said, you stepping in might pique Celestia's curiosity in us."

"Is that bad?"

"Only if she decides we're threats."

"Well, Paper and I are fine, and as long as... there's nothing for you to worry about. That being said, Angel of Darkness is a complete wild card."

"Heck yeah."

"Either way, I need to go..."

"R-Right. Should I-"

"That would just reveal who you are. Just act like you don't know what happened at the hospital."

"Yes, ma'am."

"By the way, have you..."

"No... After all, there's a reason it is called Wild Angels."

The final part of a sixteen part long section. And we end with ominous talking between some unknown creatures. And Ghiaccio being Ghiaccio. And no, that conversation isn't supposed to make sense. Yet.
