Trouble always finds me

I was sitting on my bed and just staring, at what... well the wall. I was not a very interesting pony it seems, I mean who just stares at a wall. I do it seems, maybe I was just lost in thought, I'm not entirely sure why. I was likely there for hours, just staring at that wall. My ears twitched as I heard a knock at the door, I looked over quickly and saw Rainbow Dash staring at me from the open door. I waved with one hand and a hoove each, Oh the expression she made was priceless!

"Hey um Ace what are you doing?" I pointed to the wall and she tilted her head but quickly shook it. "No, I mean why?" I shrugged, honestly confused myself. "Well, the girls wanna 'talk' to you. Come on, Boss."

I blinked at her word, 'Boss? I am no one's Boss, I am unsure on where you formed that thought.'

She smiled, "Well, I will be going your little team only issue is. Well, military training, I mean seriously how can you go and protect the world and not expect me to help?! What kind of pony would let her friend fight all alone"

I turned my head and stared at her, 'Why would you consider me a friend when I do not know you?'

She smirked, "Because you are awesome just like me, I haven't seen it yet but I have a feeling. I am almost never wrong about these things, Also Pinkie Pie is also joining us."

'Who is that mare?!'

"Who pinkie?" I nodded, "Honestly I have no idea, She is so random it is almost its own science. I have seen her float on ballons, keep up with me when I am at top speed. She can sense or even foresee things, but the weirdest thing about her is can pull items from thin air! None of us really know her history, we know she lived on a rock farm. I even met her family, they were normal I suppose. Pinkie is just Pinkie, I don't think there is another pony like her. Though I am unsure why she wants to join military operations, she is a party pony and not like me or AJ. I mean seriously, why would she join us?"

"Well, because I told her to why else?" Both me and Dash jumped and looked into the hallway to see Tia. "Pinkie Is an Odd pony, not even I know how she is capable of what she does. Though one thing I know for sure, she is more powerful than she looks. She once gave me a look that made my heart nearly stop, only a few ponies I have seen were able to do that. Morning Star included, though I could sense she was holding back."

'Who is Morning Star?' Celestia looked at the words over my head and smirked, okay now I was concerned.

"Can't say, you are not ready yet. You must shatter that barrier you have that keeps your powers locked away. When you do that come to talk to me. I know Morning star will be glad to meet you, he always loved teasing ponies. Though when you see him, don't be surprised. He is old almost older than Me, and I have been alive for two thousand years."

I shrugged, 'Whatever I will be waiting for that day then, until then, what am I supposed to be doing?'

Celestia looked at me before shifting her gaze to my wings, "You need to learn how to fly, I heard you haven't unfurled your wings yet. You need to learn how to fly."

Rainbow Dash looked at me with an expression of shock, "You have wings and haven't used them?!" I rolled my eyes and glared at the smug Tia. "I will be teaching you how to fly we need a large open space with plenty of room to fly."

Tia looked thoughtful and spoke softly, "Go use the courtyard just don't destroy my roses please." I shrugged and followed dash as we left my room and walked down the hallway.

"Yo Were you going Ace?" I jumped and squeaked, and looked behind me to see a cocky Eternal. I gave her a death glare but she ignored it. I also noticed her fur was dripping wet, I likewise ignored her fur. Though I didn't ignore the fearful looks the ponies in hallways gave Eternal, what did she do?

Dash answered Eternals question for me, "We are going to teach Ace how to fly, she hasn't even tried to fly."

"Ahh, that's a good idea she has to use those wings of hers, She won't be as useful if she is grounded and unable to dodge." I snorted, They act like I won't be able to handle myself. As if the universe was trying to prove me wrong, A pony came around the corner we were about to pass. While Dash and Eternal disappeared in a blur, I wasn't so fortunate. The cobalt blue unicorn stallion slammed into me with enough force to actually knock the break from my lungs. I gasped in silent pain, I and the pony rolled on the ground a few feet before stopping. The stallion got up shocked, but looked behind me and started to run again. Only to be flipped in a full 180 over Eternal as she heaved him over her, before slamming his body into the ground. The Stallion looked fearful and shocked, he whimpered weakly. This all happened while I was attempting to catch my breath, Damn that bloody hurt!

I heard Eternal scream at the stallion who looked like he was about to piss himself. "What's your idea bud?! You run into someone and you don't even say sorry?!" Suddenly a white unicorn with a golden mane and tail had a gold star for his cutie mark. He turned and looked to Rainbow dash, who glared at him.

"Well, if it isn't Rainbow dash, tell me how is Rarity doing?"

I heard her growl, "Better after you pushed her away, I can't believe you even did Blue Blood that to her?!"

"I have to keep gold digger like her away! All they want me for is money, and status. I.Am.Fucking.sick.of.it!" He emphasized each word with a stomp of his hoove, "It sickens me to think of the Element of Genoristy as a gold digger, I would have had done anything to remove her from Celestia's party if I knew that! After that stuck-up party, I was going to ask her to forgive me, but I see that pointless! She only wanted to be like everybody else, it sickens me, that when she was done she would leave." Dash backed away in shock, I can see she wasn't expecting what he said. I expect she was expecting him to be arrogant and an asshole, now I just feel bad for him. "Anyway I need that stallion back, he was accused of a crime."

I blinked and stepped between the two, 'What crime?'

"Well, we found a pony dead today in the castle."

Eternal blinked and groaned, "Yeah that was me." Everypony including the stallion under her froze and looked at her, "What?"

Blue blood coughed, "Well you see, You are under arrest for the murder of ten ponies, twenty griffins, and the Son of The Griffin Emperor."

Eternal, almost screamed. "I am sorry, WHAT?"

The hallway shook from the force of the shout, Blue Blood looked confused and he frowned. "So you didn't kill them?"

"Fuck no, I hate politics, I killed that bitch of Doctor who removed Ace's tongue! He also had 2 guards, those two may be nothing but a puddle of blood. No one can handle Judgement cut."

Blue brown grimaced, "Well, I can say he did deserve to die. Though this is off-topic, that stallion there is a murder."

I looked to the stallion and tilted my head, My vertical pupils focused. 'Expect he is not the one.' Those blue flaming words hung over my head like a light in the darkness. Everyone stared at me shocked, even Eternal's jaw was dropped.

"How do you figure that?" A new voice spoke, from behind me. I looked behind me to see another white unicorn stallion, this one wearing fancy armor. He had a blue mane with lighter blue strips, also had a shield with a star as his cutie mark.

'Simple, he has no blood or even faint sights of blood on him. He also smells like roses and a more private smell. While this may be good for some I can also tell you something he would not like anyone to know.' The stallion stared at me with a pleading expression and I sighed. 'Fine' The stallion looked relieved, but I quickly glared at him. 'You owe me.' He nodded, 'Good' I looked at the ponies around us and rolled my eyes. 'He was tied up for a whole night.'

"What do you mean tied up?" I looked over to Eternal, I gave her a flat look she took the hint. "Oh, Bondage?" I sighed and nodded. "Some people get all the damn luck." That comment earned a look from everyone most of those looks were one of disgust. She just smiled and shrugged, "Seriously though, he didn't kill anyone. Also, why am I not being arrested?"

The newest white unicorn with a blue mane and tail sighed, "Well because you made every single guard in Canterlot fear you with one single sentence, and you have diplomatic immunity, well unless you attack someone important."

Eternal frowned and looked to the stallion, "That is all well and good but why?"

The stallion frowned, "You see we cant arrest you even if we tried could we?" Eternal shook her head, "Exactly you would be able to destroy my shields with one attack, you also could kill Celestia or Luna if you wished you have so much power that when you are angry the planet shudders. We made a choice that you are too dangerous to retaliate against unless we have no other choice, And then there is her." He pointed at me, "You told all of us that she is the most powerful creature on this planet even surpassing you! So what FUCKING choice do we FUCKING have?! Arrest you and risk you KILLING all of us?! Or better yet, We kill you, and years later someone more FUCKING powerful than both of you appear! THAT'S NOT EVEN THE WORSE PART, You stated that over and over again that each world you visited crumbled into FUCKING dust. So I can only ASSUME that you are the ONLY ponies that can POSSIBLY defeat this force!" I shrank back from his rant, and Eternal looked shocked. Rainbow Dash had an expression of rage when she looked at Eternal.

Eternal frowned and sighed, "Maybe I was being stupid... I didn't tell you this. You see Ace had her tongue Surgically removed, so you have one guess on who did it." I was confused when everyone stared at me and I just shrugged.

Rainbow dash, "So that's why she hasn't talked, I assumed it was just because she was shy or even fearful of her own voice." Her confused expression shifted to rage. "It was the doctor, right?" Eternal nodded, "You killed him huh?" A second nod, "Good because I would have done the same thing. I don't like it when somepony hurts my friends. Though I wouldn't have been so brutal."

Eternal just shrugged, "It wasn't the worse way to go, in honesty the last thing he would have felt was a slight pain. We are off-topic. Who killed these griffin delegates, that is our mission now." I nodded, And Blue blood sighed. I looked at the stallion on the ground as he whimpered in fear.

"Well if he didn't do it who then?"

I blinked and had an idea, 'Let me see the crime scene, please?'

Blue looked at me and nodded, "Now how do you know he isn't the pony behind the murder."

'Being Half Demon and Angel had some perks. My Angel side allows me to sense when a pony lies, and my demon Side allows me to sense malicious intent for anyone, not just one target. I didn't sense anyone he hated that was Griffin, he hates Blue though.'

"That makes some sense but why are you calling be Blue?"

I looked at him and smirked, 'It is cute.' I saw his jaw drop, and I heard Eternal gasp. 'Oh, are you jealous Eternal?'

"Maybe a smidge." She said with a smirk.

'Good, now where was this murder at?'

"It wasn't a murder, it was a Massacre. Like I said Ten ponies, Twenty Griffins, and one Royal Griffin. All dead, their bodies show they did not even struggle while the murder happened, which is odd considering those numbers could easily kill any normal pony. I am thinking it could be the Super Killer, they always seemed to have a grudge with griffin."

My eyes turned to glare, I didn't even look at blue, I let my words show my rage. The normally blue flames changed into black with red outlines. 'YOU mean to tell me, there was someone capable of killing ponies, and you haven't arrested them yet?!'

Blue was taken aback and sighed, "I am not a warrior and this thing is more powerful than Shining Armor, I mean seriously. They took out ten Royal guards and twenty Griffins and neither side even tried to struggle before their deaths, how is that possible." They had no idea but I did.

Eternal looked at me and smirked, she knew also. "Well I'm pretty sure, Ace knows." Blue, and Shining both looked at me.

'I am not actually sure.'

They all responded with a loud, "HUH" Even Eternal looked confused, "What do you mean you are not actually sure!"

I glared at Shining, 'I mean just that, it isn't possible for a demon to do this. Most demons attack with wild abandon and the Demon Lords are a lot more careful on who they kill and how. They wouldn't attack someone if it would expose them, so that is not possible. So we are dealing with an unknown variable, we should be very careful.'

Eternal sighed, "I hate unknown variables, they always end up with me in the hospital or worse! I really hate having broken bones.'

I rolled my eyes and smiled, 'You protect me Eternal I will protect you got it?' She nodded and blushed slightly. 'Good now where is this room-' My mind went blank at what I saw I couldn't even finish my message when I saw the gore and death my body froze in fear.

There were bodied if you could call half-eaten mounts of flesh, each body had the same claw markings all over them, some bodies hung from the ceiling and also the lights. What I didn't see was signs of a struggle, it was like these ponies slept through something eating them alive. How was that possible, I also noticed that none of the bodies was female? Each one was male, this added a clue to the identity but I was unsure how. I also noticed something scared the piss out of me, the walls had been scorched in some areas. I looked back to Blueblood who looked sick, and Rainbow dash who had been silently following us. Which was uncharacteristic for her, I knew her type loud and adorable. I chose it would be a good idea to talk to her later.

"So Blue what do you know about what happened." Blueblood looked to Eternal and sighed, oh I can tell this is going to suck.

"Well, you see the bodies were found last night after we heard a huge disturbance. Since today is the Ceremony for Ace the Princess decided to hold on to the investigation or do it in private. As you can tell it was private, My aunts decided to send me to do the investigation. I may not look like it, but I was trained by the previous Captain of the Royal guards. I was also trained in interrogation Magic and also capture the magic. Sadly I am not as good as my teacher it is not my talent after all, but it gets the job done." He took a deep breath, and let it all out. "You see the Griffin Embassator decided it would be better to take what they want by force, and was going to return to their country. Ponies and nobles all disagreed, but that cocky prick assumed Equestria was weak! Anyway, as I had said he wished to return home. His griffin escorts and some of the royal guards joined him for the party, well 'party'. As you can see the party ended in blood." I blinked as something didn't make sense, why would they have a party?

Eternal looked even more confused, "You missed something blue, why were they having a party?"

Blueblood sighed in defeat, "This is top secret okay don't tell anyone!"

We both nodded, And Blue growled, "I am serious."

'Doubtful' I said with a smirk.

"Fine all those that joined him were gay! Like every single one, not one of them was straight!" I blinked, that's all?

I heard Eternal fall over laughing, I couldn't help it either I curled up on the dirty ground and giggled.

Blue looked pissed but he sighed, "Yes they were gay, I don't know why that matters though."

I took a deep breath before squeaking, I sighed. 'It is very important, you see whoever killed these many either had something against gay or something personal with someone. The others could have been a bonus and the Emperor's son? Well, he could have just wanted to return some hate to the griffins, that or this was planned.'

Blue looked surprised, "What do you mean planned?"

I rolled my eyes, 'What would happen if the pony responsible was never caught?'

Blue and Shining's eyes widened in realization, "You don't think?"

'No I have a hunch, it is not concrete yet.'

Rainbow looked confused, "So what is your hunch?"

'You will know in due time if I am right at least. If I am wrong, well we will be at war with the griffins and I will have to kill them all.' Rainbow nodded, I sighed before walking out. 'Also get someone to write down EVERYTHING as evidence in this room, I wanna read the report soon.' One guard nodded, well why does my life have to be so damn problematic?
