there's no list so we don't know our order Though I think I was before you, maybe just just nudged me out of the way being bigger and all.

Marble licked her hoof, "yep, you got a deal" she finished before frowning, "should we run from you before you lose control?" she added backing away. She would rather not get eaten, she turned to the group "lets go quickly" she finished trotting away from the monster.

Marble had just started her third slice of melon when the Judge began talking, she continued to nibble after he had finished, the courtroom grew silent apart from her munching. *munch* *munch* *munch* *munch* When she finished the melon she put it to one side with the rest of them, she then again began to slice a fourth slice of melon. "The case is quite simple really, The defendant was found over the body of the deceased with the murder weapon in hoof" she finished before beginning to nibble on her fourth bit of melon. "The strangest part of the case is the Defence, who is rather new to the court proceedings" she remarked glancing at him smiling, "Since it's you're first day I will be nice, I will let you change you're defence from 'Not Guilty' to 'Guilty' and have the defendant be imprisoned for 20 years, rather than life." she said smirking at him. "Or I can present the autopsy report, Witness and have your honour who's looking fabulous as always bang his gavel and declare 'Guilty'" she finished looking at the Defence waiting for his response.

Marble pulled out a watermelon from under her bench and began cutting it into segments, she then popped a small piece in her mouth and began eating it. She glanced over at the defence "So, you that new defence guy right? When you lose, you want to go back to mommy?" she asked him smiling, she nibbled on another segment of watermelon. She just loved her fruit being a bat pony and all. (that text size though)

Marble looked at Wilhelm and snorted, great while we are talking lets just wake up and interrupt the damn spirit, she thought as he went on a mumbling rampage. She put a hoof to her face and groaned as he continued talking, oh please, lets just presume this creature killed the guard for the armour because it looks ugly. She waited for him to finally finish. She watched him finish with some sort of creepy smile, damn even I smile better than that, fangs and all. Why not just punch the thing in the face and scream 'hoofbump' she thought. She then looked at the spirit and smiled "one minute". She then dragged Wilhelm to the back, "yeah you stay here, and don't talk, be a tree or something" she told him before going back to the spirit. "sorry about that, so you want us to lift the shield that's keeping you here? Do you know where the shield is?" she asked the spirit, before glancing back at Wilhelm, if he did piss this thing off, hes going to be first on the buffet list.

(ZE PROSECUTOR IS HERE XD) Marble sat ontop of the prosecutor's bench. She wondered who she would be facing today. Not that it mattered, she would win flawlessly as ever. She hoped this trial would be interesting, it wouldn't matter though it would be over in several minutes, all she had to do was wait for the judge and saw the Defence walk in and eat a sandwich she smiled at him, her fangs glowing in the light. she couldn't wait to get her teeth into this stallion and tear his defence to shreds. (note: shall let everyone get seated and judge to bring the court to session then, I will present initial findings, nopony post the initial findings since its up to the prosecutor, which is me, to do the start) (sidenote: shall be off for around 9 hours after this post XD)

Marble studied the group as they approached, the smaller ones were all taking order from the larger tentacle pony, they were sniffing for something, Marble frowned maybe they were sniffing for Trivy. Her focus then went to the larger pony, since she didn't know anything of their culture she waited for its approach, noticing it was combat ready and seemed angry. She blinked as it talked slightly smiling, at least it didn't squash her. Since it didn't squash her this made her think of two reasons, either it wanted to know if she was a threat, or was simply curious. She decided to play it safe with this pony, rather than hope it had a conscience, which after squashing all the bushes she decided it didn't really have one. "who am I? why I am Marble, Marble the bat pony. Who is it that I am speaking too?" she asked it before adding "Were you the one that caused my party to gain access through the shield" she finished. She could have simply asked it hundreds of questions, though that would probably anger the thing,

Marble got closer towards the ponies before standing ontop of a rock to see them, she unfolded her wings just in case they were actually hostile. She then waited for their approach, if they were friendly then they could talk, if not then she would fly away as fast as she could.

Marble blinked "er, I can't see you" she said sniffing at the invisible Trivy, "but I can sure smell you" she added blinking. "lets go, we don't need anymore ponies to join us otherwise it wont be a scouting mission" she finished before trotting away towards the party of mutant ponies.

Marble smirked and closed her wings, "well, you going to start running or what? I can fly remember" she finished, "if anyone got any binoculars we can see what they do when they reach the bus" she finished. Marble then started galloping towards the shield away from the mutated ponies.

Marble frowned, "maybe I could scout ahead and see if they look friendly while you lot hide, and if they are not friendly then I can fly back and we run for it?" she snorted. "If these ponies are friendly and they see us running from them, then it would just make them hate us" she argued. She opened her wings, "you ponies used to think bat ponies were scary, maybe these ponies just look like this for some reason" she added.

"lets try talking to them, maybe they are friendly" she said before putting her saddlebag back on. "no point running when we don't have to" she added. She glanced at the group, "but what do you think about that, they don't look too dangerous just more, well mutated"

She glanced at Bramble before glancing back at the horde of ponies. She knew she felt something sinister about the city and she was right, they looked almost like zombies, with a massive one driving the 'horde'. Straight towards them, she quickly galloped over to Bramble and the others, "looks like we are being rescued" she said as she approached. "I'm not going near that shield, it can kill you instantly, you don't understand it" she said frowning, "how we going to take Wilhelm" she asked him frowning.

"Yes I was, whenever I lose something I retrace my steps which is remarkably helpful, you're memory is like a pair of keys, just lots of keys slotted together to make a puzzle, you've just misplaced the puzzle pieces" she informed her before stopping several meters away from the wall. "wait here i'm going to try something" she instructed. "now this thing is simply fascinating" Marble stated before slowly putting her hoof towards it, she stopped a meter away from the wall and withdrew her hoof. "hmmm, strange" she frowned before picking up a stone and tossing it at the wall. It instantly vaporised as it hit the wall. She smiled and glanced back at Trivy "good thing I didn't touch it" she remarked. Her eyes followed the beam of light before frowning, "it's in the middle of the city, the last place we should go" she sighed. her wings began buzzing again and she frowned, she picked up another stone, much larger and threw it at the wall causing that to disintegrate again. "this shield should have destroyed us all, yet it didn't, almost like something wants us here" she finished. "we shouldn't split up, lets get back to the others" she told Trivy giving her a curious look, she was still thinking, about something.

Marble didn't like this new Trivy, she just rolled her eyes. She decided not to make a smart comment about the old Trivy actually being nice, rather than acting like she just sat on a cactus. She began smirking at the thought of Trivy sitting on a cactus. "classic" she coughed under her breath. She then finished her melon in silence, she glanced at the shield and wondered if they should go investigate it, she looked over at Trivy and Lavender talking and decided against suggesting it. She left her bag on the ground and walked away from the group her figure disappearing into the shadow, she trotted towards the wall they had crashed though inside the bus, that was where the answers are.

Marble blinked and backed away, "well I ain't no doctor, or unicorn wiz for that matter thank you very much" she snorted at them. She then began nibbling back on her watermelon glaring at Lavender and Trivy. 'who made them so special' she thought to herself as she began eating thoughtfully. "why don't you then rethink you're steps, that's what you do if you lose something" she advised before going back to her melon, she had given out her quota of helpful information today, let the rest of them do some thinking.

A sudden hoof smashed into the back of Trivy's head. "you remember now?" Marble asked dryly. Her wings buzzed in annoyance, "can't you do a spell to fix her" she asked Lavender before slapping Trivy's head again. "what about now?" she continued becoming amused, this was turning into a fun game. She raised her hoof for a third strike.

Marble glanced at the ice cube and then back at the injured pony, "yeah it didn't work, you just wasted water" she grumbled. She then flicked her tail. in annoyance, "well go towards the city, don't come crying to me if you get turned into a smore, whatever that is" she said frowning. Marble didn't like Lavender's snortishness, "where we going to go now then?" she asked.

Marble stopped dragging him, " you need to fix that erroneous assumption, who's to say these ponies are friendly? They might be unfriendly" she said frowning, she then glanced at her supplies and brought out a large watermelon covered in red "well I got lots of these, but you won't want it" she said giving the melon a nibble, she just loved fruit among other things. That's was her equipment, lots of fruit, her medical supply's and her wing blades, which she already had on.

Marble's ear twitched as Lavender asked about a river. She dropped down off the bus closing her wings as she trotted over to the mare. "River? We don't need a river, we need a cave" she snorted glancing around, something was definitely watching them, if only she saw it. She turned back to Lavender "no we shall stay by the bus or inside it, we are not welcome here" she said before glancing back at the city. She then glanced at the injured pony and gave him a sniff, "Wilhelm will need to be moved, regardless of his injuries" she said poking him with her hoof. She frowned before trotting inside the bus, she then rummaged around getting out her saddlebag, she trotted back to Wilhelm and began throwing salt over him. One of her bat pony traditions of healing. She then began rummaging in her saddlebag again and drew out some phlox moss which had a strange aroma, she then threw several clumps over Wilhelm. "better she remarked drinking from a bottle in her saddlebag draining it completely". "well if he doesn't heal, we can always eat him" she remarked picking up his hoof and slowly dragging him towards the bus.

Marble flew away from the blast and towards the city, as she drew closer she felt very nervous. She glanced down at the building which looked abandoned. Not liking the spooky feeling she spun around and blitzed back to the bus still getting childs down her spine. She landed on the bus causing it to make a sudden *shrike* sound. She began moving from one side to the other. *boom* *boom* *boom* each hoofstep echoed across the barren landscape since no sound was being made, Finally she stopped her dark figure glancing down at the group of ponies, the loud 'boom' of her hoofsteps slowly fading. Marble watched the group from below contemplating what to do next. her orange eyes glowing like coals in the darkness.

Marble ear twitched as she picked up a strange cracking sound. She trotted to the front of the bus and glanced down as the hood began to smoke. She frowned wondering if it was meant to do that, trying to remember if it had looked like that while they were traveling. She decided that it would probably need to be mended, since she didn't have the correct skills she trotted to the back of the bus, minding the large gap in the side as she went. She spotted Trivy slowly get off the bus, she smirked down at her "Orange, you might want to move faster, quickly " she suggested before flying into the air, she decided being 50 meters up should be safe enough. She watched the events from up high wondering if Trivy will take her advice.

Marble heard yelling from inside the bus, she licked her hoof and smirked "not very clever these diurnal" she remarked to herself, she thought she was safe enough ontop of the bus, but she waited for them to scurry out of the bus like ants. She then glanced at the black city and frowned wondering what it was, she couldn't recall any cities being out here. Though she didn't really look at maps of Equestria so she wouldn't know all of the cities. From the top of the bus a pair of orange eyes glowed dimly, the only sign that she was actually there, her grey coat and dark blue mane blended into the darkness behind her, the orange eyes stared curiously at the city before a strange feeling came to Marble, she frowned before continuing glancing around slowly realising that they were trapped within the city. "maybe I can't sue anypony after all" she grumbled,

Marble grumbled as she flew over the dashboard and though the window. She grumbled brushing glass off herself and getting up stretching, nothing was broken which was good. She tested her wings by flying ontop of the bus before noticing a pain in her right hoof as she landed. She glanced at one hoof which was bleeding and began licking it fiercely. She enjoyed the slight salty taste but soon it was all sealed and her concentration turned to the matter at hoof. Marble glanced down at the other ponies from the top of the bus. Who should she sue and how much for. She settled for suing the driver 500 bits, while deciding the 'most experienced' pony should be sued 5000 bits. (unlucky Orion Caelum) Marble was quite pleased with her reasoning and glanced down looking for the most injured pony, she saw some pony asking for the name of another and asking if they were dead. This looked promising, amnesia would really boost the amount of bits she would be given, she could then decorate her cave like she wanted too, though looking around this dark place was rather 'homely'. She was nocturnal after all being a bat pony. She didn't like the look of the city though, cities were large, noisy and generally a pain to fly in. She had been given a fair few warning for 'flying out of hours', Whatever that meant. She then returned her focus back to herself wondering how to go about demanding a raise or some sort of compensation, maybe limping around and pretending she had a broken wing for good measure, she decided that would be sufficient for now. she returned back observing the small group, being grey coloured it was doubtful anypony would notice her, she wasn't the most 'popular' pony, since she missed most classes due to 'sleeping'. She never understood why they never had night classes, these ponies were rather, 'strange'.
