The Dictators of Ponyville 3 The Rise Of The Shadows

Twilight was laying in her bed wailing in sadness. She had gotten a call from Ponyville's police department, that her little brother Spike was dead, as was his friend's. Twilight just, couldn't believe it. She got out of her bed and decided to head into the city and towards the police station.

As she walked into the station, she noticed some family members of Rumble, Pipsquek, and Twistin. They caught her eye's, and she nodded looking down. She sat down on one of the chairs. She waited until the one working in the reception called her up. Twilight walked up towards the little reception.

"So, what can I help you with?" The mare asked. The mare was oranged fured, and had sapphire blue eye's, with red mane and tail.

"Um, I'm Twilight Sparkle, I'm here concerning my brother, Spike the Dragon." Twilight explained, not knowing how to put it gently.

The mare nodded in realisation and motioned for her to sit on the waiting area. Twilight walked over there and sat down lost in thought.
She had gotten the call in the early morning around three or four A'M. The officer had said, that they found Spike's body, and said other bodies of his military crew had been killed in very violent way's. He had not specified, (wich Twilight was actually thankful for) but Twilight just needed to hear the word violent and she'll immidiently would get the picture. The officer had asked Twilight if she could come to the station in the morning if she could, wich she had responded with; "I'll have to see in the morning, but if I can then I'll come." Wich the officer agreed to.

Twilight was waiting and waiting, in wich it felt like an eternity. Until an officer came and called out her name. She looked up and walked over to him, she then proceeded to follow him into his office. She sat in the chair on the opposite side of him, as he took his seat across from behind the desk.

"Hello, my name is detective Sherlock Hooves and I a'm currently investigating the murder of you're brother and his friend's. Are you with me so far?" Sherlock Hooves asked, hoping he wasn't jumping to deep into his work. He didn't want to seem non-caring.

"My name is Twilight Sparkle. I got you're call, but I will not lie, I actually hoped it was a sick joke at first." Twilight said, wanting to get that of you're chest.

"That is completely natural, and very very understandable." Sherlock Hooves said.

"So, I understand you grew up with Spike, until Ponyville became a tyranny rule?" Sherlock Hooves explained, hoping he had understood it right.

"Yes, me and Spike first lived in Canterlot with my parents and brother. My parents name and brothers are Twilight Velvet, my mother. Night Light, my father, and finally my brother Shining Armor. We lived together for a while until I read a book, stating that Nightmare Moon would return after a thousand years, I sent a scroll to Princess Celestia through Spike's fire magic. I got a response saying, I needed to make friend's and sent me here to Ponyville. We defeated Nightmare Moon and gained the elements of harmony. Spike was alway's there to help us, but we kept giving him work and chores. We abused him mentally and physically. When we came under the tyranny rule, Spike became a soldier, we didn't approve and some of my friend's got angry at him. That's when we had our falling out, he told us all the sins we did towards him and then he left and we didn't speak to him until yesterday. Well now when I think of it, I believe my friend Fluttershy mentioned something about reconciling with Spike, and if that really is the case then she is the only one "close" to him." Twilight explained, her whole life story, hoping it was of use.

Sherlock Hooves nodded. He did find something odd tho, why did they all of a sudden start speaking just yesterday? Was there a reason? Is it connected to the case?

"Miss Sparkle, if you don't mind me asking, everything you have said is very important, but I must ask. Why did you speak to each other yesterday? Was it to reconcile? Now I realise this was a stupid question." Sherlock Hooves felt like hitting himself, for his own stupidity.

"No,no, it's no problem. I had called him because I hoped he could shed some light on our previous leaders. You see, I have a theory that they might be possessed or were possessed. He told me he saw some type of possession, saying it was without a doubt most likely The Pony of Shadows." Twilight explained, feeling lighter weight on her chest.

Sherlock Hooves thought for a second that he had to much earwax in his ear and heard Twilight say; The Pony of Shadows, the he realised he hadn't mistaken and was lost in such thought that it could rival Albus Dumbledore. If it was true about what miss Sparkle has said, then the world may be in grave danger.

"Do you believe in the Shadow Pony detective?" Twilight asked, curious to know his response.

"Yes, I have faced monsters demons and other creatures I didn't believe existed, until I took this job. I have seen thing's that I would beg Faust to erase from my head and memories." Sherlock Hooves said, with a blunt voice.

Twilight sat there thinking he was mental. Then she came to the realisation that he has a point. There are thing's she has faced, where even she wondered what existed and what didn't. It made sense to her that someone like Sherlock Hooves believed in that kind if stuff, considering that she has heard his tales.

"Well, thank you for coming on such short notice. I a'm deeply sorry for what has happened." Sherlock Hooves said, with sincerity in his voice.

Twilight nodded as she walked out of the room, then the station and headed back towards her apartment.

"Two day's, and there will be no worries!" Shadow Pony said, in a voice that suggested that he was angry over something.
