After leaving the school to go live in Povania, she noticed an alicorn figure behind her, following her. It was too big to be Twilight Sparkle and when she looked behind her, she noticed that this pony’s coat was white and it’s mane was wavy, as if it were made of magic. Whaehonah didn’t want to lead this pony to her safe place, so she decided to drive in a different direction. Instead of driving to Povania, she drove towards the old castle ruins since it was also abandoned. After driving across the bridge and fearing that it was gonna break under the weight of the car, she parked and ran inside, the alicorn following right behind her. Whaehonah ran around the castle for a while before flying around, the alicorn didn’t stop following her. Whaehonah eventually flew into a large room with a dusty pipe organ and found out that it was a dead end. At this point, the alicorn spoke out.

“Why are you running?” Said the alicorn

“I’m just trying to get away from ponyville.” Said Whaehonah

“But why are you running from me?” The alicorn asked

“I don’t know who you are or why you were following me.” She replied

“I’m Princess Celestia, and I heard about what happened at the school, I wanted to talk to you about that, I also know about your history of cannibalism as well as killing my officers and wanted to work out a deal.” Said the princess

“So you know about everything I’ve done and only want to work out a deal?” Whaehonah responded

“Yes. I can’t stand to condemn anypony, so I want to work something out.” Said the princess

“What are you offering?” She asked

“My guards and Cloudsdale police are having a hard time figuring out what happened to a pegasus mare named High Winds. I figured that with your strength, coupled with your indestructible machine and the armor you took from a wanted thug, you could help with the case. In return, I will make sure that your slate is wiped clean, as long as nothing else like it happens again.” The Princess explained

Whaehonah thought about the deal for a few seconds and then gave her answer.

“I will help with the case, if you wipe my slate clean.” Said Whaehonah

“It’s a deal then. You will start helping tomorrow.” Said the princess.

Princess Celestia left the old castle and returned to Canterlot. Whaehonah decided to play the pipe organ before her, even though she wasn’t as good as her mother, she could still play it. She remembered one song in particular that her mom would play for her on an upright piano, even though it wouldn’t sound the same coming from a pipe organ, she decided to play it anyway. The song was a rather soothing tune, not enough to relax one to the point of slumber, but it was definitely enough to make an angry pony happy. Equestria the beautiful was the name of it, and Whaehonah found it to sound a little bit better coming from a pipe organ than it did from a piano.

After playing the organ for a while, she decided to get back to the car and get to Povania so she can find herself a house to live in. Upon arrival, it was already dark, but with the car’s lights, Whaehonah saw something that she would never be able to unsee.
It was hard for her to even believe she was seeing anything in front of her. It looked like something from another world entirely, she couldn’t even explain it to herself. It looked like a living pile of tendons, arteries and veins, and it was clearly eating a bear. Whaehonah, immediately put the pedal to the metal and drove right over it and went to make sure her sister was alright.

When she arrived at Senthrio’s house, she ran up, not even knocking on the door and went straight inside. She rounded the corner into the kitchen and knocked Senthrio down.

“Whaehonah, what is going on? You look like you’ve seen some kind of monster.” Senthrio said as she stood back up

“I’m pretty sure I did.” She replied

“Was it the tendril creature?” Senthrio asked

“You’ve seen it?” She asked

“Yes, it’s from this book I found at the entrance to town.” Senthrio said as she picked a book off the counter

Whaehonah was shocked, how could something from a book, be real.? Whaehonah began examining the book that Senthrio had given her and the first thing she noticed was that it had been hoof written, while every other book was written using a typewriter.

“May I have this book?” She asked

“Sure, I’ve read it several times anyway.” Senthrio said, allowing Whaehonah to own the strange book

“I do have one question. How could that thing be real, if it’s just a creature in a horror story?” She asked

“I don’t know, it’s a mystery to me as well.” Senthrio answered

“Alright, well good night sis.” She said as she headed back to the car

Senthrio nodded and went upstairs to go to bed. Whaehonah brought the book to the car and put it in her saddlebag, then proceeded to get into the car and go to sleep for the night.

The next morning, Whaehonah woke up and immediately remembered her deal with the princess. She opened the back of the car and grabbed the armor she took from the thug in Canterlot, then proceeded to put it on, the armor was a perfect fit surprisingly since it was made for a stallion. After putting on the armor helmet, she flew to Cloudsdale and went straight to the police station. The desk pony immediately asked how they could help her.

“I’d like to speak with Lightning Rain please.” Whaehonah said walking up to the desk

“Sure thing, he’s right through that door.” Said the desk pony

“Thank you.” She said as she went and opened the door.

As soon as she walked into Lightning Rain’s office, he asked her to sit down.

“I was expecting you. Princess Celestia told me about the deal.” Said the detective

“So, where do we start?” She asked

“I want you to go get that thing you were in yesterday from wherever you keep it, and you can use it to carry some things for our investigation. You know like food and the battering ram, plus we can use it to stay out of sight. We can meet at the hospital.” Lightning Rain said, explaining the plan

“Alright, but it’s gonna take a while for me to get to the hospital.” Said Whaehonah

“That’s alright, as long as you’re there before night, you’re good.” Said the detective

Whaehonah flew back to Povania while Lightning Rain flew to the hospital. Whaehonah arrived in Povania, got the car and made sure to drive as fast as she could to the hospital. After arriving at the hospital, she noticed that she beat Lightning Rain to it. As soon as Lightning Rain arrived, he was amazed at how fast Whaehonah was able to get to the hospital, but he didn’t have time to think about it. They went right inside, walked up to the desk and Lightning Rain showed the desk pony his badge.

“We’re here to see a patient of yours, High Winds.” Said the detective

“Oh, yes and who’s with you? Is she a friend?” The desk pony said, asking about Whaehonah

“Yes, this is my partner Whaehonah, we’re investigating an attempted murder on High Winds, we just need to ask a few questions.” Said Lightning Rain

“Well, she’s in room 704.” Said the desk pony

“Thank you Sunbeam.” Lightning Rain said as him and Whaehonah walked down the hallway

When they walked into the room, High Winds was in the middle of breakfast. She was having a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a glass of milk.

“Hello High Winds, that’s a pretty good looking breakfast you're eating.” Said Lightning Rain

“Yeah, it’s okay.” She replied

“Well I’d like to ask you a few questions if you’re alright with that.” Said the detective taking a quill and notebook out of his saddle bag

“Sure.” High Winds said granting permission

“First question, did you see who knocked you out of the sky?” He asked

“Not really, but I did catch a glimpse of a tail as I went down.” Said High Winds

“Alright, what colour was the tail?” He asked

“It was like amber with a little bit of gold.” Said High Winds

“Alright, was your attacker wearing any clothes?” Lightning Rain asked

“Uh, yes, it was a black suit, with some green markings on the underside.” High Winds said causing the detective to grow angry

“Thanks, you’ve been a great help to me. I’ll let you eat now.” Said Lightning Rain

He stepped out of the room and walked out of the hospital, Whaehonah following right behind him.

“Damn, I didn’t know we were dealing with one of them.” Said the detective in an angry tone

“Who?” Whaehonah asked

“The Washouts.” Said Lightning Rain

“Who are the Washouts?” She asked

“They’re a group of insane pegasi that enjoy being reckless and just acting plain crazy.” Lightning Rain said growing even more angry

“I’m not gonna pretend to know who they are, but they sound like a gang of morons.” Said Whaehonah

“They kind of are, but I’m pretty sure we’re going after Lightning Dust.” Said Lightning Rain

The two got in the car and Whaehonah began driving. Lightning Rain told Whaehonah of a place that the Washouts commonly hang out.

“The Washouts normally hangout near the secluded pond on the other side of the park.” He said showing a map of Ponyville

“Alright, is that where we start?” She asked

“Yes. You know, this is actually a pretty comfy ride.” Said Lightning Rain

“Thanks, my brother built this for me. It’s called a car.” She replied

“Well he did a great job and for this investigation, the dark windows will keep us out of sight if we have to watch somepony.” Said Lightning Rain

The two arrived nearby the secluded pond, only to see the Washouts building some kind of stunt that couldn’t possibly be legal. Lightning Rain got out of the car and went straight to questioning.

“Alright, what are you all fixing to do to yourselves now?” Said the detective

“Oh look, it’s our old friend detective nag.” Said a heavily scarred pegasus

“You’re gonna have to come up with a better insult than that crater maker.” Said the detective

“What do want?” Said another pony

“Better grammar would be nice, unless your brain is gone from knocking too many trees down with your face. I also need the whereabouts of your friend Lightning Dust.” Said Lightning Rain

“Lightning Dust isn’t with us.” Said the scarred pegasus

“Then where is she?” He asked

“What do want with her?” Said the second pegasus

“I need to ask her a few questions.” He said

“Well then ask that stupid Wonderbolt she passed at the train station?” Said the scarred pegasus

“I’ve already talked to her and you better watch what you say about the Wonderbolts.” He said getting angry

At this point Whaehonah stepped in.

“Hey imbecile, just tell us where we can find Lightning Dust and we’ll leave you alone.” She said

“Where’d you get that armor? A dumpster?” Said the scarred pegasus

“Not important, tell us where Lightning Dust is.” Said Whaehonah

“Ask the dumb Wonderbolts, we don’t know.” Said the scarred pegasus

“Alright that’s it, I’ve had enough of you insulting the Wonderbolts. Now if you don’t want me to use your head to demolish that contraption of yours, then you’ll tell us where Lightning Dust is at.” The detective snapped

At this rate, Lightning Rain had the attention of the other three pegasi in the group.

“Alright, settle down. She went to a farm called Sweet Apple Acres to talk to a filly named Scootaloo.” Said the scarred pegasus

“Thank you, now was that so hard?” Whaehonah asked

“Yes, yes it was.” Said the scarred pegasus

“Now let’s get to Sweet Apple Acres and get Dust before she can manipulate an innocent filly.” Said Lightning Rain

“I’ve met Scootaloo before.” Whaehonah said as she got back into the car

“Good, so you’ll know what she looks like, now let’s get over there.” Said the detective

Whaehonah put the pedal to the metal hoping to arrive at Sweet Apple Acres before Lightning Dust. They did arrive at the farm, Whaehonah got out and asked a red stallion if he had seen Scootaloo.

“Excuse me sir, Big Mac right?” Said Whaehonah

“Eyup.” Said Big Mac.

“Is Scootaloo here?” She asked

“Eyup.” Big Mac replied

“Where is she?” She asked again

“In their treehouse that way.” Big Mac answered pointing in the direction of the treehouse

“Thanks.” Said Whaehonah

She got into the car and drove it in the direction of the treehouse. Upon arrival, they saw their suspect landing on the doorstep of the treehouse. Whaehonah quietly got out of the car, flew straight at Lightning Dust and tackled her to the floor while the detective watched from the car.

“You’re coming with us mam.” She said, tying Lightning Dust up like a turkey

Whaehonah tossed her into the backseat of her car and drove off to the closest place to Cloudsdale while Lightning Rain told her why she was being arrested and read her the rights.
Once they arrived at the parking spot, Whaehonah pulled Lightning dust out of the backseat of the car and carried her into Cloudsdale by the handle she made on the rope. Lightning Rain directed Whaehonah to the interrogation room.

“I’m just gonna start with the basics Lightning Dust.” Said the detective

“You have nothing on me old man.” Said Lightning Dust

“Oh yes we do.” Said Whaehonah

“Shut up blank flank.” Said Lightning Dust

“No, you shut up. Unless you’re giving us the reason for attacking High Winds, you keep your mouth shut before I shut it for you.” Whaehonah said getting angry

The three went back and forth between each other until Whaehonah slammed Lightning Dust’s head onto the metal table, knocking her four front teeth out.

“That’s enough, are you gonna give us the reason for trying to kill High Winds, or am I gonna put you through the wall with your wings tied up?” Whaehonah said, holding Lightning Dust against the thick cloud wall.

“Alright I’ll talk, I’ll talk. Just don’t kill me.” Said Lightning Dust, begging for her life

“Good so talk, in pure truth.” Said Lightning Rain

“Okay, I didn’t try to kill High Winds, I only knocked her out of the sky during an argument we were having. I didn’t intend on killing anypony. I may be reckless but I’m not homicidal.” Said Lightning Dust

Neither Whaehonah nor Lightning Rain were able to sense any dishonesty in the statement that Lightning Dust gave them.

“You stay here Lightning Dust, we’re gonna go talk to High Winds to see if you’re telling us the whole truth.” Said Lightning Rain

“I told you the truth, what else do you want.?” Said Lightning Dust

“Just sit there and wait for us.” Said Whaehonah

The two went down to the car and went back to the hospital for the rest of the story. They hoped that there was at least another side of this. They arrived at the hospital and went back to room 704 to get High Winds’ side of the story.

“Hello High Winds, we just have a couple more questions for you.” Said the detective

“Alright.” High Winds said, granting permission to further question her

“Okay, Lightning Dust said that you and her had an argument. Is that true?” Said the detective

“Yes, it’s true.” Said High Winds

“Okay. What was the argument about?” Whaehonah asked

“She told me that the Wonderbolts aren’t daring enough to be called that, I told her that the Wonderbolts are more daring than she thinks and it went downhill from there. I don’t know why she said this but I do know that she seemed a bit drunk or high on something.” Said High Winds

“Interesting. Alright, we’ll leave you alone now.” Said the detective

The two of them went back to the car and drove back to the parking spot. When they got back to the interrogation room, Lightning Dust was on the floor, trying to get something out of her suit. Whaehonah untied her legs, gave her a strip search and found it. She held a bag with some kind of substance in front of her face.

“Care to explain?” Whaehonah asked

Lightning Dust stayed silent.

“I see you're using your right to remain silent.” Said Lightning Rain

She still kept her mouth shut.

“Lightning Dust, you’re under arrest for assault of a wonderbolt and possession of an illegal substance. You have the right to remain silent, if you give up that right, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law, you have the right to an attorney, if you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to you.” Said Whaehonah

They put Lightning Dust into a cart and the paddy wagon flyer took her to the Cloudsdale city jail. Lightning Rain gave Whaehonah the okay to go home and get some sleep.
