BlueBlood’s life could not have gone worse.

One moment, one run in with a random Dragon and everything he had worked for, had crumbled away.

His status, revoked.

His fortune? Gone.

His Aunt?…she hadn’t even bothered to come and see him and neither had his so-called ‘Cousin’.

All because of one Dragon, one stupid Dragon that stuck his nose where it did not belong.

A guttural growl escaped BlueBlood’s throat as he sat in his cell, slumped against the wall in a dark orange prisoner jumpsuit, his normally well kept mane was disheveled and unkempt, he could hear the loud shouts and conversations and arguments between prisoners and guards all around.

There was part of him that was more focused on the fact a simple police precinct had an entire underground cellblock, but in truth it made sense, very few unicorns could learn the teleportation spell, and those who did know it could realistically only teleport a few meters so an entire underground cellblock was actually rather ingenious on their part, at best if a criminal who could use magic could get the nullifying brace off their horn the best they could manage is teleporting outside their cell.

Ah yes, the brace, BlueBlood glanced up at his horn in annoyance, a dark metal object wrapped around his horn, a purple jewel embedded in it canceling out his magic, while he did have use of his Stand, he doubted he could make use of Hurdy Gurdy Man to escape, incapacitating the guards would be easy…but getting out of this hellhole and getting this damned brace off would be next to impossible on his own.

Slowly BlueBlood got to his feet, before letting out a roar of rage and slammed his fist into the stone wall of his cell, not even flinching as he wound up drawing blood from himself as a result.

“I swear, the minute I have my hands on that Dragon, I will personally end him and everyone he holds dear…” BlueBlood snarled to himself as his Stand aura flared up “Then, I will use Hurdy Gurdy Man to teach everyone of those bastards who let me rot in here a lesson, starting with that bitch Celestia…” he hissed.

As he allowed his anger to build for a moment, he suddenly took a deep calming breath.

“I am..not staying here another day, I will break out of here today, magic blocker or not…” he promised himself, he would just need the right opportunity to escape.

-

The elevator doors swung open as a trio made their way down a stone hallway, before coming up to a large metal gate.

“THREE COMING IN!” A voice could be heard before the metal door slid open, allowing the trio to get a view of the large subterranean cellblock.

Celtis marveled at the sight for a moment before glancing down at the prisoner the two were escorting, the currently disguised Deer sent his ‘partner’ a silent glare.

Sunny caught his glare and simply shrugged, she had no way of knowing this unexpected turn would happen. So she decided to strike up a conversation with the prisoner.

“What did you do to get yourself arrested?” Sunny asked, her voice still disguised due to her ability.

Virgil just let out a small hum, before looking up at the ceiling as if he was trying to remember. “Nothing major…” he mumbled “I assaulted a noble pretty much.” He smiled.

“Define assault.” Celtis said, showing mild interest, only to be disappointed as the Pegasus just shrugged.

“Assault is assault, and it be my word against a noble’s not much to be done about it.” Virgil said with a sad smile “It is the world we live in.”

“Where Ponies abuse even their own kind…despicable.” Celtis huffed “And not at all surprising-“ he began only to wince as Sunny lightly nudged him.

“Not what it’s important right now, may not like it but we have a ‘job’ to do.” The disguised Pony reminded him as they continued to move through the underground cellblock, before finally seeing another guard waiting by an open cell door.

Without a word they walked over and escorted Virgil inside before locking him in, the Pegasus did not react at all, he calmly just went over to his bed and sat down.

With their prisoner safely locked away, Celtis turned toward the guard and nodded “Excuse me, do you know where the former Prince BlueBlood’s cell is?” He asked.

The guard in response glared at him as Sunny winced “Are you trying to bust him out or something?” He grunted.

Celtis shook his head, flashing a smirk “No, I just wanted to see for myself, that arrogant brat being locked in a jail cell sounds to good to be true!” He chuckled, intentionally making a partial lie to get into the guards good graces.

However, he failed to notice Virgil narrow his eyes in response to his words, while the guard just nodded.

“Fair enough, his cell is at the bottom floor, take the stairs and keep going then hang a right, can’t miss it.” He instructed as he walked past the duo and headed towards the only exit to the cellblock.

“ONE COMING OUT!” The same voice form before echoed out as the gate opened up for the guard.

Celtis and Sunny nodded to each other before heading towards the stair case, leaving Virgil to watch them go with a hidden frown on his face.

The old Pegasus wasted no time getting back up and ripping his bedsheets from his bed and proceeded to hang them up onto his cell bars, only to stop as another guard called him out.

“The hell are you doing inmate?” The guard growled, a big and burly Pegasus who calmly reached for his collapsible baton on his belt.

Virgil answered by jerking his thumb behind him, pointing at the lone toilet in his cell “Figured I should enjoy the option of privacy while I still have it, until I get an eventual cellmate.” He lied calmly.

The Guard glared at him for a moment before sighing “Right, fine, but yeah don’t get used to that, you won’t be having that option where you are going.” He grunted and turned his back towards Virgil while intentionally edging away from the cell incase the older Pegasus had any ideas of attacking him between the bars.

Virgil nodded in appreciation and continued setting up the privacy curtain before backing away, making sure the sheets were secure before a pale gray enveloped him.

Virgil closed his eyes and calmly held up his hand, the aura taking shape as he slowly closed his hand in such a way as if he was holding something, before finally, a long silver and gold key formed in his hand with several jewels embedded in the handle.

Virgil smirked as he held up the key, it was his Stand “Keys to the Kingdom~” he whispered before walking over to the wall of his cell and pressed one end of the key into the wall.

The key glowed for a moment, before sinking into the wall as a keyhole had formed. Virgil gave a small clockwise turn as an outline of a door formed and suddenly the wall opened up, allowing Virgil to step inside and vanish from his cell as the newly formed door closed behind him.

-

“Any ideas on how we are gonna handle this?” Celtis asked in a low tone as he walked alongside Sunny “His horn will be banded so he can’t use magic but he would still have his Stand to defend himself with.” He pointed out to his disguised partner in crime.

“Already taken care of.” Sunny said as she pulled out a dark green fruit from her pocket, making Celtis look at her in confusion.

“…An Avocado?” Celtis asked looking lost as Sunny shot him a look.

“You are part of the botany club at school, you do realize these things are highly toxic to horses right?” She asked as Celtis nodded.

“Yes I know that, but so would BlueBlood. How are you going to get him to eat it?” Celtis asked with a frown.

Sunny just smiled and pulled out her Stand again, the spyglass glowed as she focused it on the small fruit, before it began to change before Celtis’s eyes into a tray with a singular piece of food on it, a hayburger.

“…Alright, then why bring me if your plan is so easy?” Celtis asked as Sunny shook her head.

“This is just to get him sick and weakened so he can’t fight back, you are the one who has to land the killing blow, up to you how you want to do it.” Sunny said simply as they walked past a few more cells before finally coming to a stop in front of their destination, the two turned and expected to see BlueBlood in his cell-

But his cell was empty…

A look of shock washed over the duo’s faces as Celtis quickly crouched down and grabbed the door, his ability activating as mold overtook the lock of the cell door and opened it.

“This can’t be right!” He hissed as he stepped into the cell, an action that made Sunny panic.

“H-hey! Don’t just go in!” She hissed and reached out to try and grab him, only to stop herself as so she could check their surroundings to see if they had garnered any attention from inmates or other guards.

The coast was clear, so she resumed her action and went into the cell to try and drag him out.

“Don’t just barge in like that!” Sunny hissed as she grabbed Celtis by the arm “This could have been a trap!” She chastised him.

Celtis was not listening, he was too busy looking around the room for any sign of Unicorn.

“This makes no sense!” Celtis growled as his Stand aura briefly flared up “He should be here!”

“Keep your voice down!” Sunny hissed as she glared at him. “We cannot get caught here, he couldn’t have gotten far, this place is buried deep underground-“

CLANG!

The duo froze as they heard the sound of the cell door slamming shut behind them, before they both turned and saw a smirking BlueBlood standing on the other side of the door casually waving at them.

“Next time, check the ceiling.” He said before he turned and bolted.

The duo reacted in an instance, Celtis rushing toward the cell door and his Stand aura flared up, only for Sunny to stop him.

“Wait, do not use your Stand yet.” She said before clearing her throat “CELL BREAK!” She hollered out at the top of her lungs, her voice echoed across the prison block and caught the attention of several guards.

“What?!”

“Cell break?!”

“It’s BlueBlood I see him!”

BlueBlood paused as a guard ran up the steps towards him, brandishing a baton and took a swing at the former noble, however BlueBlood quickly cupped his hands together into a combined fist and swung them, nailing the guard in the side of the head since his left side was unguarded before he delivered a kick to the disoriented Pony’s stomach, sending him tumbling back down the stairs.

However, soon more guards began to advance on him, some brandishing stun batons, leaving BlueBlood little choice.

“Hurdy Gurdy Man!” He hissed much to the guards confusion, however unknown to them the Stand of BlueBlood had materialized and coated his arms in its simulation gel, said gel crawled up his arms all the way to his shoulders and took shape into a transparent muscular shell around each arms, giving him arms that one would expect a body builder to have.

One of the guards moved in and swung their stun batons, only for BlueBlood to grab said guard’s arm and bend the baton back so that it shocked them instead, before he easily threw the guard over the railing and sucker punched another that tried to jump him, knocking out one of the guards teeth in the process.

All the while several inmates were cheering on the former noble.

“YEAH! GET ‘EM BLUEBLOOD!” A changeling prisoner cheered as his cellmate hooted and hollered.

“GIVE THOSE GUARDS ONE FOR ME YA RICH BASTARD!” An elderly prisoner cheered.

“BLUEBLOOD BLUEBLOOD BLUEBLOOD!” Several inmates began to chant as BlueBlood dispatched the guards, however he was briefly distracted by the cheers.

“They…they are cheering for me…” BlueBlood blinked as he allowed a smile to grace his features, and it was at this moment one of the guards took the chance and got a cheap sucker punch in, angering the Unicorn in the process.

“Stand down you scum!” The guard sneered as the other guard soon charged in, one latching onto BlueBlood’s back to pin him down as guard after guard began to dogpile and attack him, while the prisoners began to shout insults at the guards for their tactics.

“He’s getting dog pilled.” Sunny noted as Celtis watched with mild interest.

“That he is.” The disguised Deer nodded as he summoned his Stand, and had Infected Mushroom casually coat the bars of the cell with his mold, making them easily break apart with only a small pull “And we still have a job to do.” He reminded her.

Sunny nodded as she brought out her Stand, before turning the burger disguised avocado into a Bowie knife with her ability “So long as the stuff gets into his system it will kill him.” She said, however Celtis snorted at this.

“I don’t need to poison him, his attempt at a break out just gave me the excuse to get my hands dirty.” He said as Infected Mushroom cracked his knuckles.

Sunny didn’t have time to protest, Celtis took off in a mad dash towards the pile of guards trying to restrain BlueBlood.

Unfortunately, their efforts were soon proven to be futile.

ゴゴゴゴ

“GET OFF ME YOU UTTER TRASH!” BlueBlood’s enraged roar echoed out, before a massive discharge of his Stand aura fired out along with an omnidirectional blast of his Stand’s gel, guards were launched off of BlueBlood screaming in pain as from their perspective it felt as if some unseen force was attacking them and burning them due to the gel’s properties.

“IT BURNS IT BURNS!”

“FUCK I’M STUCK TO THE WALL! WHATS GOING ON?!”

“BACK Up, WE NEED BACK UP!”

BlueBlood took a moment to relish in their shouts of pain, before he caught sight of Celtis rapidly approaching him, with a Stand at the ready by his side, BlueBlood narrowed his eyes.

“Should have figured.” BlueBlood scowled before he rushed forward, and swung a fist at the disguised Deer only for Celtis to duck under his punch and swung his leg up, kicking BlueBlood in the chin and knocking him back, but the disgraced noble wouldn’t let that take him down.

“Hurdy Gurdy Man!” BlueBlood called out, his Stand instantly took aim with its arms/nozzles and began to rapid fire globs of gel.

Celtis instantly overlapped his legs with that of his Stand, jumping backwards and landing on the guard railing “Prince BlueBlood.” He called out as he crouched down and gripped the guard rail with his hands “Asterisk sends his regards.” He sneered as mold began to rapidly grow on the guard rail before growing across the platform and towards BlueBlood at an alarming rate.

BlueBlood’s eyes widened as Celtis spoke the name, before his Stand pointed their nozzles straight down and blasted a concentrated stream of gel propelling both it and BlueBlood up into the air, avoiding the mold at the last moment, much to the shock of the prisoners and guards.

Halfway into his accent, BlueBlood brought his Stand closer, having Hurdy Gurdy Man latch his legs around BlueBlood’s waist as gel secreted out from the Stand’s torso and wrapped around BlueBlood’s own torso, turning the Stand into an impromptu jetpack.

Celtis only had one thing to say to this, and it was the same virtually everyone non-Stand user said in unison to such a bizarre spectacle, even if most of them could not see Stands.

“DA FUCK?!”

Celtis grit his teeth in anger, briefly recalling Asterisk’s words from earlier about BlueBlood’s Stand.

“Not good in a one on one fight my ass!” He hissed and glanced back at Sunny, seeing her perched atop the railing and having dropped her disguise, a quick glance at himself also showed that his own disguise had faded some time ago.

“So it has come to this? That bastard has finally decided to try and kill me?” BlueBlood asked with a scowl as he looked down at the Deer “I should have known, I could never trust that bastard, but if you think I am just gonna lay down and die, you are sorely mistaken.” He said.

“I’d like to see you try and stop what you have coming to you, you Unicorns aren’t much without your magic.” Celtis snorted.

Surprisingly, BlueBlood let out a chuckle “Oh you are right about that I’m afraid, without my magic, I can’t really do that much in a fight.” He smirked “I suppose then it is a good thing when those guards dogpiled me I managed to swipe this.” He said as he held up his fist and revealed a simple iron key.

Celtis reacted in an instance, calling out his Stand and formed a baseball sized wad of mold in his hands, before rearing his body back and kicking up his leg, and with a swift jerk forward Celtis launched the mold at BlueBlood, intending to hit the key out of his hand and spread his mold onto the Unicorn, unfortunately BlueBlood managed to dodge to the side to avoid the mold, which slammed into the wall of the prison where it began to fester and slowly spread downwards.

“A nice pitch, you are rather athletic, that pitch reminded me of my time in college.” BlueBlood sighed wistfully as he reached up to free his horn from the magic nullified attached to it “But that was the last, and this is the present…and you….” He grinned as the key entered the keyhole and he unlocked it “Have no future…” he hissed with glee as the nullifier feel down to the ground.

The moment the nullified hit the mold covered floor, Infected Mushroom’s mold instantly covered it as BlueBlood went on the offensive, with his horn lighting up and fired a blast of magical energy at Celtis.

Celtis quickly slammed his foot down, causing a large wall of mold to form and block the blast of magic that the Unicorn fired from his horn, but the former noble was far from done.

As BlueBlood’s command, Hurdy Gurdy Man jerked its canister arms up slightly and fired its stream of gel out at the barrier, but the shot curved around the mold wall.

“SHIT!” Celtis shouted as he jumped back, however the gel managed to slam into his foot at the last second, causing a sensation of burning pain to shoot up through his body, causing the man to fall down to the floor writhing in agony, causing Sunny to rush to his aid.

“Seems you were only given the bare minimum of what my Stand can do.” BlueBlood spoke as he briefly eyed the Pegasus Mare “Sunny, how good to see you.” He smirked.

Sunny responded by bringing out the knife disguised avocado and flinging it at BlueBlood with a surprising level of skill, the Unicorn just barely managed to swerve out of the way.

“Still as volatile as ever.” BlueBlood shook his head as his horn glowed, some of the gel that he had launched across the room began to slowly rise and form into a series of balls that began to fly around the room “Let’s see if you are still just as agile!” He sneered as the gel balls began to launch at Sunny and Celtis.

Without missing a beat, Sunny scooped Celtis into her arms and opened her wings and took flight, avoiding the projectiles as best she could while the other prisoners watched in a mix of excitement and confusion.

“This ain’t good..” Sunny growled as she tried to maneuver around in the air, avoiding the gel to the best of her ability.

“Why…why are you saving me?” Celtis groaned as the pain from the gel began to subside “I have been nothing but rude to you-“

“Save it for when we aren’t in danger!” Sunny told him as she flew to the side, just barely avoiding the goo flying at her “Your an ass but I don’t leave people I’m on a mission with to their death, that is not how I role!” She grunted “Unless I think they can handle it themselves that is.” She added while flying straight upwards, the gel balls hot on her tail.

“What are you doing?!” Celtis asked in shock as the ceiling grew closer to them “This is dangerous!”

“Not as dangerous as what I am about to do!” Sunny said as she did a quick U-turn made air, her hooves barely scrapped across the ceiling in the process as she flew back downwards, towards BlueBlood.

Behind her, a few of the gel balls crashed against the ceiling while the remaining balls turned and continued to peruse Sunny.

BlueBlood could not help but be amused by her tactics “That’s your big plan? To have my gel crash back into me? I am unaffected by my own gel you fool!” He lied, he was actually not immune to his own ability, but chances are they did not know-

“Asterisk told me everything I need to about your Stand, I know that is a crock of shit!” Sunny smirked as BlueBlood’s eyes narrowed.

“In that case, no need for me to be foolish then!” He said as the balls stopped their pursuit of Sunny, before BlueBlood began to rotate in the air, slowly picking up speed as he was propelled by his Stand still acting as a propulsion system for him, his magic instead focused on the pooling pile of gel down below that began to trail up the slowly forming vortex of wind BlueBlood was creating.

“SHIT!” Sunny shouted as she came to a stop just narrowly avoiding crashing into a sudden wall of gel, before she was soon staring down a translucent pink tornado of magic and gel.

“Let’s see you get past this!” BlueBlood called out from within the gel hurricane, a gellicane!

Sunny backed up slightly while a few of the guards also got sucked up into the attack, quickly meeting their fate as the simulated pain from the gel proved to be to much as the rapid rotation of the attack tore them apart, all while the prisoners who while they couldn’t exactly see everything that was happening, cheered at the carnage seeing the guards killed so ruthlessly as they chanted BlueBlood’s name.

“BLUEBLOOD BLUEBLOOD BLUEBLOOD!” They chanted as Celtis couldn’t help but look and listen in horror.

“They are cheering for it…barbarians…” He muttered in shock and disgust at such a vicious mentality before glancing at Sunny “How do we stop this?”

“I…I don’t have an exact idea, but if he’s doing this…he must be using some method so he doesn’t suffocate in the center of this.” Sunny said as she noticed the gellicane was remaining stationary, she was lucky she was strong enough to resist the pull of the wind otherwise they would get sucked in-wait…that was it!

“I think I have an idea.” Sunny suddenly said as her Stand aura flared brightly “But it is gonna be super risky, I need you to cover us both with that mold of yours, I assume you can use in a way that won’t eat me alive?” She asked as her features changed, her fur became longer and more added as she grew a lions mane and a more elongated face, a long lion like tail sprouted form behind her while her wings became more reptilian but with thicker more durable looking webbing, she had become a Gargoyle, one of the more rare species in equestria.

Celtis looked at her in shock, before nodding “How much of your body do you need-“

“All of it, wings in clouded but hold off on coating them till I give the order.” Sunny said as she began to fly back, and adjusted her grip so that Celtis could better hold onto her “Because what i am planning is probably the dumbest thing I have ever done.”

“Noted.” Celtis said as his Stand aura flared up, and mold soon encased his entire body before spreading onto Sunny, who began to fly in a circle, also picking up speed as she did so, flying with the current of the gellicane to garner more speed but keeping herself from being sucked into it.

From within his safe zone within the storm, BlueBlood was confused, watching their actions he was unable to figure out just what they were planning, it made no sense. She would clearly tire herself out doing this.

BlueBlood himself glanced up at the top of the funnel he had created, the gap was to narrow for her to slip inside, but he had manipulated the suction of his attack to filter in air through that narrow point so he could avoid suffocating from his own attack, the ultimate defense.

“If only I had thought of an attack like this when I was fighting that despicable Dragon…” BlueBlood grunted to himself in annoyance, things would have gone much differently then.

“NOW!” Sunny suddenly shouted as she preformed an odd turn, allowing the suction and her built up momentum to fling her directly at the gellicane!

Sunny quickly wrapped her large gargoyle wings around herself as she began to rotate, like a drill, and as she did. Mold rapidly spread from her body onto her wings, coating them in a thick layer of dark grin mold that seemed to rapidly harden till it was almost like stone.

The improvised shell collided with the gellicane, the mold getting torn and ripped off in chunks in the process but the two inside remained realativly unharmed ugh to BlooBlood’s shock.

For BlueBlood, time slowed down as his safe zone was penetrated, he could only watch as the shell opened up, slowly from his perspective, but in reality it was all happening in the blind of an eye.

He could only watch helplessly as his two opponents emerged with their fists reared back, before said fists crashed into his face at full force! Slamming him into the wall of his so called perfect defense!

BlueBlood roared in pain and outrage as his won gel burned him, the simulated pain of fire and electricity he had been simulated with it hit him full force, but what was worse, some of the mold that had been coating the duo had latched onto him and was rapidly growing on his body, but was quickly washed away as it got swept up in the gel.

“DAMN YOU DAMN YOU BITH TO HELL!” BlueBlood shouted as his magic came to a stop from the pain and the gellicane fell down around the two, who looked down at BlueBlood with looks of utter contempt, they had no sympathy for the man.

“This is over.” Celtis said as he used his mold to clear a small landing space for Sunny to bring them down to the ground.

“Not yet.” Sunny said as she descended, she grabbed part of the railing bars and ripped it out from the rest of the railing “He is still alive.” She told him as she handed the pipe to him “You have to prove your loyalty remember?” She reminded him.

Rather than argue, Celtis took the makeshift weapon without a word as they landed, and calmly began to advance towards BlueBlood who was in far to much pain both from his own gel and the mold weakening him to even stand up.

“My my, how the mighty have fallen.” Celtis said as he casually twirled the metal bar “Seeing you, an arrogant noble pony so helpless and vulnerable…it gives me such a feeling of euphoria.” He smirked as he slammed his foot down on BlueBlood’s chest.

BlueBlood let out a scream of pain as he could swear he felt one of his ribs fracture from the action, was the mold really making him that weak?

“You know, in most situations like this, one would expect me to gloat, to monologue…but I won’t.” Celtis said as he calmly leveled the sharp end of the pipe up towards BlueBlood’s neck “Because…you just are not worth the effort.” He spoke calmly and reared the pipe back, intending to stab the unicorn through his throat and pierce his carotid artery to end him quickly.

BlueBlood’s eyes widened in horror, he tried to use his magic, but he no longer had the strength to do it, coupled with the intense pain stopping him from concentrating, he was as good as dead.

“No! This can’t be how it ends for me! I am not ready to die! I DO NIT WANT TO DIE YET!” BlueBlood thought in a panic, from his perspective time seemed to slow down as the pipe was thrust forward, nearing his neck with him unable to do anything “I DON’T WANT TO DIE!” He cried out in a mix of fear and outrage, as if begging the forces at be to take pity on him one last time.

ゴゴゴゴ

Suddenly, an alarm blared loudly, a loud constant ringing filled the underground prison, catching everyone’s attention and making Celtis stop his attack just short of ending BlueBlood, but before he could realize his mistake, the sprinklers went off.

“The hell?!” Sunny asked as water rained down from above, dousing everyone within the prison with water, but it also served to wash away the dirt and grim on the floor…along with the gel and mold!

BlueBlood blinked as his body was slowly washed free of his own gel and the parasitic mold, but the first thing that was fully cleansed, was his horn.

Celtis heard the hum of magic lighting up and turned his head just in time to take a blast of magic straight to the chest, sending him sailing back and crash into Sunny while the metal bar he had intended to use to kill BlueBlood had fallen onto the ground with a metallic clang.

BlueBlood was quick to grab the bar, using it to slowly prop himself up, he was still in immense pain, but his agony had been overcome with a new feeling, his survival instincts, his desire to live above all else, at this moment someone or something had answered his call to save him, and he would not waste it.

“The both of you…I will not be killed by either of you.” BlueBlood growled as he summoned his Stand, while also struggling to stay on his feet as he glared at Celtis and Sunny “And that bastard…I will make him regret trying to send assassins to kill me…because….” He slowly raised up his free hand in triumph as he shouted “I AM PRINCE BLUEBLOOD, I WILL CLAW MY WAY BACK TO THE TOP AND END MY BITCH OF AN AUNT FOR DARE ABANDONING ME IN THIS HELL HOLE!” He roared out before he charged at the two with his Stand in a blind fury, fueled purely by pain induced adrenaline.

Celtis instantly jumped back up and brought out his Stand “INFECTED MUSHROOM!”

“HURDY GURDY MAN!” BlueBlood roared as his Stand formed two gel arms for it to use in the fight, rapidly hardening the gel so they would not be washed away by the downpour of water, both men were intending to kill the other in this final bout-

Only for the ground underneath BlueBlood to open up!?

BlueBlood was shocked as he lost his footing, finding himself falling into an oddly door shaped hole in the floor, that quickly closed up as he fell through, cutting off his line of sight with Celtis.

Celtis stopped mid attack, a look of shock on his face as he and Sunny stood there, the prisoners likewise were in their cells shocked.

Prince BlueBlood had..vanished?

-

BlueBlood let out a shout as he hit the hard concrete floor, seeing that he had fallen into…the same room as before, he was back where he was when he had fallen through the trap door, the same underground prison, sprinklers going off as the alarm blared, but the difference was, there was no Celtis, no Sunny, no prisoners or dead guards.

The prison was completely empty save for himself…and one other person.

“Master BlueBlood.” Virgil spoke on a neutral tone as BlueBlood stared up at his former employee in shock and relief.

“Virgil…” BlueBlood said seeing the Earth Pony before him.

“Come now master, I have come to get you out of here.” Virgil said as he calmly approached BlueBlood.

The normally arrogant Unicorn did not argue, he allowed the older man to pick him up with relative ease, and began to carry him off, but one thought came to BlueBlood’s mind as he did so.

“You did this…you saved me…” BlueBlood spoke, stating it as a fact, not an accusation.

“With the power of my Stand, I entered a world where actions here reflect the ones there.” Virgil told him calmly “You will not be able to show your face to the public for some time, so in the meantime, you said you wanted revenge? I apologize sir, but you are not strong enough yet.” He spoke with a calm yet authoritative tone “I promised your father that I would look after you, and I intend to keep my word.”

BlueBlood said nothing in response to this, he was fading out of consciousness, his actions during the battle and the damage he took having finally caught up with him as he fell asleep in the strong arms of his former servant.

Virgil did not dare try to wake him, instead his Stand aura flared up as a new door opened up before him, leading to a new place, a place where he could allow BlueBlood to recover, and to grow.

A storm was coming to Equestria, one that could shape the future of this land, and Virgil would make sure that once the storm had ended, that BlueBlood would be the one people saw standing atop the rubble, why one may ask?

Because…Virgil gave his word.

…To Be Continued…
