Lying On The Floor When I Break Through.

Celestia barged in through the doors that were keeping hold of the three foals, only to see something that made her stomach turn.

The three foals were all lying on the ground unconscious except for the eldest colt who was writhing in pain. She looked around only to see Lieutenant Reaper standing just a few feet away from them.

She looked towards the eldest colt who was lying on the ground next to a puddle of blood, she looked at his blood soaked mane as she slowly began to walk towards him. As she looked towards his head all she could see was a small stub of what, she presumed used to be his horn. She slowly approached him. Just standing within inches of the young colt he slowly looked up.

“Princess please...” He pleaded. Before too falling unconscious.

The princess wasn't sure what to make of this situation. More importantly she wasn't sure what to think. Here was a young colt who had his whole life ahead of him. Laying. Bleeding on the castle floor, no longer possessing the ability to control magic. His entire life had been lost, and she found that she did not care.

She turned around to find Lieutenant Reaper still standing in the same spot. Seemingly un-phased by his actions.

“Lieutenant?” Celestia asked with a calm tone.

“Yes princess?” He said while not changing his body composure. Slow, calm breathing, barley blinking, all in all he looked like just any other guard on duty.

“Do you know what happened here?” Celestia said fearing the answer but already knowing it.

“Yes princess” He stated still keeping his calm composure.

“Care to enlighten me?” She said taking a few steps closer to the guard.

“I stripped these foals of their magic, for they had no right to own it princess. I will not lie to you and I am willing to face the crimes I have committed.” He said in a calm tone. Celestia was not shocked by what she heard. Being in the same situation she might have done the same. She knew that Reaper was only doing what might have never been done. Getting justice. As he had said that Celestia began to hear hoof steps down the hallways. By the sound of them, they were more guards. She took one last look at Reaper and then at the foals lying on the ground, she took a breath, her horn began to shine and she made a choice.

“Princess! Princess!” Three guards, including Sargent Spark came running into the room. Only to be shocked by what they found.

Princess Celestia what standing a few feet away from the injured foals, and a few inches from the unconscious body of Solo Reaper.

“Ah guards” She said calmly while walking towards the triple, flustered guards.

“Are you okay princess?” One panic-stricken guard said.

“I am fine, but it appears that Lieutenant Reaper has been knocked unconscious while he was in here, guarding the three foals that are suspected of raping and assaulting Twilight Sparkle”

“Do you know how her became unconscious princess?” One of the guards asked.

“Timber wolf attack it seems, many of them have been seen prowling around the castle I've heard” Celestia said while looking at the three guards.

“And I believe that the foals under suspection have received the same fate” She turned around to and pointed to the three foals.

“Any witnesses?” One guard asked.

“I am unsure” The princess responded. Then as if on cue, the board directer of the school who was interviewing the foals walked in.

“I saw what happened your magistracy” The stallion said as he entered the room.

Celestia's ears perked up. Sargent Spark who was present, saw the worry in her eyes while the other guards were paying attention to the stallion.

“What did you see?” One of the guards asked.

“When I left after interviewing the foals, I left them in the hooves of Lieutenant Reaper. I went to go find Sargent Spark to inform her that they were now ready for the princesses arrival” The stallion looked at Spark.

“Can you confirm this Spark?” One of the guards asked.

Spark knew he was lying. She'd never spoke to him she went to tell Celestia about Twilight then went straight back to her patrol before being informed that she had to guard Cadences rooms. Yet she knew this was for protecting Reaper. She knew he only did what he did to protect Twilight. An innocent filly who had done no wrong to the world. They say there are two kinds of evil. Ponies who do evil things, and ponies who see evil things being done and do nothing to stop it. Reaper was not evil. He was not spiteful. He would never hurt a pony without a reason. She knew this so she made a choice.

“Yes I can, after I left informing the Princess on Twilight's condition and were-abouts, He found me outside of princess Cadences room and he informed me, I then proceeded to come find you two in order the escort the princess to them” Spark said with a strong voice.

“Okay. Then what happened” The guard said.

“I then realised, I had left my clipboard with my notes from the interview in... here... somewhere... ah ha! Here they are” The stallion said while picking up a clipboard and a pen.

When did they get there? Celestia thought I didn't see them there a few minutes ago.

“So I came back to collect them when I heard a shattering noise, I rushed to the room and opened the door to see a timber wolf attacking Lieutenant Reaper, I rushed out trying to find Sargent Spark to come help with the matter” The stallion finished.

“Thank you” The guards said in unison.

“What do you wish we do now princess?” One guard said.

“I wish that you go and find Doctor Reeetro and bring him here immediately” She said.

“Yes princess” They both said and ran out of the room to fulfil her orders. After they left the stallion at the door merrily winked and walked away.

Celestia took a glance at Reaper on the floor and the wound on his chest, she sighed.

“Did I do the right thing Spark?” She asked as her ears fell.

“I'm not sure princess but what ever you did, I would not blame you. I have know Reaper for seven years he's a good pony, and the last thing I could stand would be seeing him behind bars” Spark smiled up at the princess before continuing.

“Many ponies are capable of many things, but acting out without a reason was not one of Reapers. He's a good pony he would never hurt somepony without a reason, that you and I both know for a fact. Whatever the outcome I would have defended him. Just like I would defend you princess.” Spark smiled and began to walk away.

“Now if you don't mind I must return to my post outside of princess Cadences room. Do you wish I inform her? Well... more specifically do you wish I correctly inform her?” Spark asked.

“Yes, tell her the situation I think she knew what was going to happen anyway. If anypony is relived to find justice it will be Cadence” Celestia smiled and added.

“And thank you Spark for everything” She smiled.

“My pleasure princess” Spark walked out of the room and left Celestia with the foals and Reaper.
