Blue sighed in relief as the white unicorn managed to get up on his feet. He knew the cut on his neck wasn't too bad had still feared for his life.
"Thank Celestia he's alright." Thought Blue as he watched him get up.
When the unicorn finally managed to stand, he thanked Blue and began to study the pegasus on his back with great detail. Gesturing at her, he warned Blue to watch her head, in case she had gotten a concussion from her previous impact. Blue looked behind himself at the pegasus. She looked to be in pretty bad shape; he cursed himself, thinking most of this was his own fault.
Suddenly, he saw the white unicorns horn glow a bright green, and the knife, which had been such a problem to all of them before, appeared between the both of them, lifted by the unicorn's magic. Blue looked suprised at its sudden appearence.
Out of nowhere, he heard the captain of the guard shuffling torward them.
"Muh muh m-ine, give-knife-back, stupid unic-unicuh, must kill peg-sis, kill you." The stallion was muttering weakly.
The captain was in horrible shape. He was beaten and bruised, and was coughing up blood. He seemed to have a glazed look over his eyes, and was attempting to move closer to where Blue and the Unicorn where.
Blue turned around and put a hoof behind himself, protecting the pegasus on his back. He wasn't going to let anyone, especially not her, suffer anymore harm.
Then as soon as it started, it ended. The captian slowed down his advance, and his body began to slump onto the ground. With one final breath, the stallion hit the dirt, and was still.
Blue couldn't believe what was going on. Just the morning, he had woken up expecting one of his first days in Ponyville to go smoothly, (He had arrived a few days ago) but little did he expect what had happened. Taxes, fees, insane guards, even death! What in the hay was going on here.
Quickly, he began to notice an event taking place all around him. The bodies of the guards that had been knocked down, save for one, began to vanish. Some mysterious force caused them to just fade away, and soon there was nothing but empty spaces where the bodies had previously been.
"What sort of magic is this...?" Blue muttered to himself, eyes fixated on the body of the captain, as it too began to fade.
However the captian's body did not fade all the way, and Blue was soon staring at the skeleton of the stallions former body. The skeletion then proceeded to burst into dust. Blue's face contorted in disgust. What was all this?
He looked back at the white unicorn and saw a small pool of blood had began to form around his hooves. Blue gestured torward his neck. He would have to worry about what was happening later.
"That cut isn't looking so good, man. We're going to have to find you, and HER," he motioned to the pegasus on his back with a nod of his head, "a doctor, and quick."
Looking back at the captain's dust pile, he added, "As for him...I don't think any amount of medical attention is going to matter. What in the hay is going on here?"
His head turned a little to the right and saw two ponies. The unicorn which had been knocked down twice and the dark earth pony were standing over the body of a guard, which had not yet vanished.
