private the Docks

[Sinusoid 37]

Sinusoid quietly says to Fracture as he looks throug the window, "I's clear that she's not working on a fashon line... wait... are those..." He stops and quickly turns away from the window as the door opens, looking at the robotic pony.

Fracture says, "Wow. I'm not sure what to say here, but that's a nice robot."

"If it tries to harm me, I will steal it. Please give me the wrench."

"Yeah, sure," Fracture says, and reaches into one of his boots and gives the wrench to Sinusoid.

Applekore looked at the ponies the out of his back two machine guns and turns toward Sinusoid and Fracture and opens fire.

inside the warehouse Shifter was sowing the dress she would wear on the day of the rift opening. "hmm it needs more sequins." Shifter said with a smile and levitated a chest full of purple gems and begins to sow them onto her dress. "Oh my stars this dress is gonna be magnifique."

At the exact moment that Sinusoid sees the robot's guns, for his fear of them, he jumps and immediately hides behind a corner. Fracture reacts to Sinusoid's movement and follows, just barely evading the stream of bullets, one of them taking a clump of hair out of his tail. Having prepared for a situation like this, Sinusoid initiates another one of his original magic spells. He uses telekenesis to pull all air away from the robot, restricting the oxygen supply to the chambers of its guns, rendering them unable to fire.

"GET TO COVER" Buzz shouted as the bullets began firing. Both Buzz and Hits ran behind a corner, in the ally they were in earlier. "You have to get out of here." "What about you?" "If that thing didn't fire at us, it means there are other ponies that may need help." "And why do you have to help them?" "Because it's what i've been trained to do." "Well, i'm not going anywhere without you." "Hits, this isn't time for a debate!" "Well, the only way i'm leaving is with you!" At this moment the fire rate of the guns started to slow down. Buzz peaked his head around the corner to see what looked liked the robots guns 'malfunctioning.' "Fine, just stay here!" Buzz said as he swiftly moved around the corner. Hits tried to say something, but he was already gone before she could open her mouth, leaving a groan to come out instead of a sentence. Buzz started to tip toe towards the robot as the gunfire slowed down, so the thing could not hear him.

Applekore stopped firing and deactivated his machine guns, and let out a beeping sound that drawn the attention of Shifter who had finished her dress, she let out a huff and teleported to Applekore's side. "well this should be interesting." Shifter said before causing the space around her to bend and twist as something else took their place. the thing was a medium sized manticore that let out a roar.

[Buzz 1,769]

Buzz was only 15ft from the robot when the white unicorn appeared beside him. "You?" Before Buzz had a chance to react, the two were gone, and now Buzz stood only a few feet away from a manticore. "HITS...." Buzz shouted as he ran towards where she was. Hits poked her head around the corner, then her entire body followed. "Oh my......" Before she could finish her sentence, Buzz had grabbed her, turrned her around and was now pushing her, thinking she was in to much shock to run herself. Eventually she began to run to. "Just keep going, we have to lose it before we enter the city." Buzz said, unsure whether it was chasing them, or with the other ponies back by the warehouse.

[Sinusoid 37]

Sinusoid stares at the manticore, silent and unmoving, shocked by his complete lack of understanding to how this had been accomplished.

Fracture says, "Well, THAT'S a good way to change things up a little."

Sinusoid manages to say timidly, "We should go away." He tries to sneak away slowly, but seeing that this does not work, he breaks to a gallop in the opposite direction.

Fracture follows; "We should follow them." He points to where Buzz and Hits went, and they go along that path. "I think that this should be all right, 'cause we saw them do that... thing."

"Agreed," Sinusoid says heavily.

[Scare Effect 312]

the manticore roared and suddenly vanished along with all traces of the warehouse.

on a nearby building that overlooked the docks stood Shifter and Applekore, "Those ponies know too much and need to be dealt with." Shifter muttered to herself.

"Leave them be they will be dealt with soon enough." said a voice from behind Shifter, 

Shifter let out a terrified squeak and turned to face the owner of the voice. "Spinner." Shifter said with a bow. Spinner was hidden behind shadows only her purple glowing eyes were visible.

"Enough formalities i have a new job for you. I need you to find information on a detective in town." Spinner slide a photo over to Shifter. "I want you to keep tabs on her. Silent seems to have targeted her as well, We need her alive if Silent tries to kill her you are to step in and kill Silent. i will not have nothing stop this invasion not even the five of you."

Shifter bowed again."As you wish my Empress."

As the two ponies run, Fracture looks back to see that the manticore had disappeared, and says, "Sinu, stop; it's gone."

Sinusoid stops quickly and looks back; "I'm glad..." He says while breathing somewhat heavily, "We should go back there... to investigate... something is quite definitely not normal... and I suppose that something suspicious is happening in that warehouse." Sinusoid begins to trot back to the warehouse without waiting for a response.

"Uh... yeah... sure..." Fracture replies, reluctantly following.

Sinusoid leers through the window, carefully preparing to defend himself.

[Scare Effect 312]

Shifter watched as Spinner left, once gone Shifter spotted the two Stallions approaching the warehouse again. Hmm what are they up to know? all well I need to find this Detective but i will leave them with a parting gift, she thought as her horn glowed then faded and she left.
