Twilight trotted and looked around the area she was in using her horn as a light source ''Not everything that shines are crystals?'' The detective repeated six times ''What the hell does that mean?'' Twilight asked herself ''Guess i'll have to wing it'' she said before firing a powerful beam, which ended up bouncing off multiple crystals before landing right next to the unicorn detective creating a small crater. ''Maybe i should try a less powerful beam.'' Twilight said to herself before firing a less poweful beam, even though this one was less powerful it still ended up bouncing off a crystal and almost hitting Twilight.

''GOD FUCKING DAMM IT!'' Twilight shouted dropping to the floor putting her front hooves over her head. ''There's now way out of here unless i beat the first test that i can't seem to find.'' The detective said starting to sob a little, then she noticed something about the crystals in the cave. They were shiny and all showed a reflection of the light coming from her horn this is when Twilight noticed that a set of them weren't shiny and showed the reflection. ''Not everything that shines is crystal That's what it means!'' Twilight said as she charged up her shot aiming at the sets of crystals before.

When the set of non reflective crystals were destroyed behind them was a metal door Twilight walked up to the door and tried the handle it moved but the door didn't seem to open. ''Looks like this requires more firepower'' The unicorn said to herself before firing a beam only for it to once again bounce off and almost hit detective. ''Guess i'll have to do this the old fashioned way'' she said before charging at the door trying to force it open. Once being able to get the door open a metal cord got pulled and come off activating a trap.

The lights all of a sudden turned on revealing Princess Cadance was in the trap. The lights ended up waking the ailcorn up ''Huh what the...WHAT THE FUCK SOMEPONY HELP ME'' Cadance yelled. Her body was covered in scratches and marks and her mane was all messy and all over the place, her horn and wings weren't surgically removed instead her horn was broken and wings were tied down.

Twilight walked up to Cadance in the trap and noticed a tape player wrapped around her neck and decided to play it. ''Hello Detective Twilight i wanna play a game for your first test you must see what i see witnessing a pony struggle trying to escape but in the end only she can save herself. The trap Princess Cadance is in it's my personal favorite i call it The Rack even wonder how far a hoof can twist? It will slowly start twisting her hooves one by one before getting to her head and slowly twisting it as well but there is a slight chance she might live if she-'' The tape was suddenly cut off

''If she Whats, IF SHE WHATS'' Twilight yelled pressing the play button then pressing the rewind button revealing the tape player didn't die "WHAT THE FUCK'' Twilight yelled

All of a sudden the gears on The Rack started moving ''No..no..no..no..no..no..no AHHHHHHHHH!'' Cadance yelled starting to sob.

Twilight looked around the cave area she was in hoping to find something like a key or lockpick to free Cadance. She eventually gave up on the idea and decided to go with jamming the gears to either stop The Rack or buy herself some time. ''DO SOMETHING!'' Cadance yelled sobbing as her left front hoof was starting to get twisted. ''Forget jamming the gears'' The detective said firing a beam at The Rack but this only ends up with Cadance's left front hoof getting twisted 360 degrees. ''AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!'' Cadance yelled in pain sobbing as The Rack started slowly twisting the right front hoof.

The Unicorn Detective tried to use her telekinesis to stop The Rack from twisting her right front hoof the same thing happend here with her hoof getting twisted 360 degress and stabbing through the skin again like The Rack was immune to magic or had a bad reaction to it. ''STOP THAT DETECTIVE YOUR MAKING IT WORSE!'' Cadance yelled sobbing as The Rack started to slowly twist her left back hoof.

Twilight looked around once more to double check for something then noticed a hacksaw behind the door. ''Guess i didn't noticed that when i came in'' The detective thought before trotting over to the hacksaw picking it up with her magic. She noticed a note tied to it and it said Confess on it ''Confess i'm not corrupt like all the other Royal Guards, Detectives and Informants'' Twilight said as she ran over to The Rack about to use it to jam the gears.

''HELP ME!'' Cadance yelled sobbing making Twilight realize that The Rack has managed to twist both her back hooves and moved onto her head. Twilight then noticed that all the wires were exposed, she went for the wires easily being able to cut the first couple of wires but when gettiing to a mess to wires it was a struggle. ''AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH'' Cadance yelled her neck starting to get twisted a little. ''Almost got it'' Twilight strained being able to cut the last wire turn off The Rack.

Once The Rack was deactivated the restrains were released causing Cadance to fall onto the cave's floor unconscious from all the bone twisting the door had also opened back up. Twilight checked for a pluse and found that the ailcorn heart was still beating ''Come on let's go'' Twilight said putting Cadance's left front hoof around her neck carrying her out of the room.

Flashback how The Movement to lower the crime rate as much as possible by killing innocents ponies started

Princess Cadance was looking writing a scroll to a couple of detectives before all of a sudden Royal Guard Jigsaw burst through the door using his magic to pick 3 lassoed up earth ponies ''Your majesty i found a earth pony terroizing a flea market unfortunately he was able to break my hoofcuffs somehow.'' Jigsaw said showing Cadance one part of the broken hoofcuff before showing the other part of the hoofcuff on the earth pony. ''Later on i learned he head 2 accomplices so i have to lasso them up.'' Jigsaw explained

Informant Ocellus flew in through a window ''Your majesty while disguised as a salespony i've seen some suspicious activity in areas of ponyville with very little ponies could be something shady going on here.'' Ocellus explained

Detective Silverstream walked in she had handcuffed a hippogriff ''Pretty sure i was this hippogriff with a illegal substance can't say for certain since as soon as i saw her she threw it into the lake so a investigation will have to be runned'' Silverstream explained before realizing the hippogriff's gone ''OH COME ON!'' Silverstream yelled

I'll GO GET HER!'' Ocellus said flying after the hippogriff.

Once every creature was out of the Throne Room Cadance check the crime rate showing that i went up A LOT in the past few weeks. ''Welp guess it's time for Plan B'' Cadance said walking into the evidence room opening a file cabinet and using her magic to pick up files. ''Give a speech nope failed 5 times, publicity stunt to raise attention nope failed 2 times both times lead to chaos. Ah here it is the last resort lower the crime rate as much as possible by killing innocent ponies didn't think'll come down to this.

Author's Note

The Rack will be used again

Reminder: I based Detective Twilight Sparkle on Eric Matthews and Daniel Rigg from Saw since according to the Saw Wiki both of them have a temperamental and focused personality. Eric is one of my favorites characters from the Saw series but it kinda suck he was a corrupt cop so that why i made Twilight one of the only non corrupt law enforcers in her department
