Finally A Day Off
Chapter 15: The Mare with a Harp of Gold
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"It was this body that started that group. But it wasn't me I can promise you that." Trebass said, sighing deeply.
"It doesn't matter what you say." Shock snapped, "I'll never believe you after what you did."
Trebass wondered, "Bable... Look at the mess you've gotten me into."
Shock shouted, "I stood there in the crowd. I could have killed you on the spot, but I ratted you out to the authorities. I wanted to take your name and destroy it. But nopony knew your name, some of them didn't even know your face! That made me furious, and I devoted the rest of my life to killing you. I joined the Canterlot Knights, received combat training, but it wasn't enough. I snuck my way into Underground Canterlot, and finally found a white unicorn living in Ponyville. A shady pony showed me a picture of you, and I tore it up at that moment."
Trebass thought to himself, "Who could have seen me? That's not important right now, I can't even imagine how Deviree is feeling. She must think I'm a monster..."
The mint green pegasus simply stood there, leaning on the desk behind her, staring at the ceiling. She couldn't even move, or she risked herself or Trebass getting hurt.
Shock continued, "Then came to Ponyville, and met a beautiful blonde mare with a red highlight."
Trebass' eyes widened in guilt. First his brother, and then the mare he cared about get's stolen from him. He didn't care if it was Bable or not, he knew his shell committed the act.
"She bumped into you, and I could sense something... I knew you were going to do something to her, I didn't know what. But I knew she was in danger. So I tried to take her to the darker corner of Ponyville, I took her to a bar but you were there too. I tried to escape with her from that weird world you dragged us into! We even took that machine Alex made out of that world without you! And I'm positive Alex never went back to get you." Shock shouted so loudly that the traffic outside the window, hundreds of feet below, sounded like a quiet breeze.
"He knew I could get out on my own." Trebass snarled.
"I bet he wished you would have stayed there." Shock growled back.
And at that moment, Trebass lost all control of his body. His vision began to blur, and he was seeing doubles too. Everything around him went mute, his body wobbled and shook, "NO. NO! NO! It's happening!" He thought to himself.
"I won't let you... NO!" He covered his head with his hooves, "You can't.... YOU CAN'T!" He shouted.
Suddenly, papers and books from around the office began to fly in around the three ponies in a swirling motion.
"W-What the--" Shock said, as he stumbled backwards onto his flank.
Short bursts of tiny lightning bolts flew around them, but they never made contact with anything, not the ponies nor the office. Books, papers, and all sorts of office appliances turned into a tornado in less than a minute. Deviree thought she could see somepony in the center of the tornado.
"Who's that?" She wondered, as she reached for her revolver with her wing.
Then, the blowing winds stopped, and the tornado of office devices dropped to the ground. In the center of the tornado was a white unicorn with a brown mane. A golden glimmering harp was strapped to her back.
Shock Bolt's eyes were open wide, as was his mouth, "What is this?!"
The white mare rushed to Trebass' side, "Hopefully I'm not too late!" She said, as she pulled a clay vial from her messenger bag, "Here, drink this." The mare uncorked the vial and put it to his lips.
Deviree saw how Shock was distracted, she positioned her wings and legs correctly, and then burst towards the blue pegasus. She slammed him into the wall, and he dropped the gun he was threatening everypony with. She apprehended him in handcuffs, on both legs, wings tied together with a stiff rope, and she threw him into onto the desk where she was standing.
Trebass finished the entire vial, and then gasped for air, he threw the vial to the side.
"Thanks Notelie." He said.
"Hee hee, no problem!" She giggled.
The stared at each other for a while, until... "N-NOTELIE?!"
Trebass jumped back, "W-W-What are you doing here?!"
Notelie stood up, "Well for starters, I could tell that 'he' was coming out. So I came to help you."
Deviree turned to the two, "So who exactly are you? And what did you just put down his throat?"
The white mare turned to the pegasus, "Oh, it was just a fifth (5th) of AppleJack Daniels." She giggled.
