As String Shot tortted from the toy shop in Ponyville he whistle happy tune he herd from a tv show he like as he played with his new yoyo. It matched his blue coat and stringy mane in terms of color and such. The young colt was trying new tricks he saw in a book about magic and using yoyos for it quiet oblivious to everypoy else around him. Little did he realize the atenction aside from the oohs and ahs some of the other colts and phillys were making seeing him with the yoyo one pacific pony at a table yards behind the colt spoke on his cell phone

String was so focused on twirling his yo-yo, he didn't notice one silvery horn near the back of the crowd, glowing with fluid gray magic. As he reeled in his toy for another trick, it simply... stuck. Jammed, if yo-yos could do that. No matter how hard he shook it, the yo-yo's string simply refused to unravel.

 

Mercury giggled at his plight from her place. Sure, she had to rear on her hind-legs to see him (she wasn't the tallest filly her age) but what glimpses she did get of it were simply hilarious. The crowd leaned in, vaguely confused, as Mercury fought to stifle her giggling. She didn't want to ruin it, after all.

The stallion in the cornor table slowly moved from it leaving a tip for the waitress "subject is distracted be ready" he said in his small mic pece to his partner who was climbing the rooftops of ponyville watching on as well.

With a fizzling noise, the yo-yo dropped from String's telekinetic hold and bounced along the ground, rolling into the crowd that had gathered. As soon as it was out of his sight, Mercury simply picked it up and levitated it over, though she kept it well below the eye level of her peers. Gently, she set it in her outstretched hoof and discreetly walked away, flicking her long, dark-red tail in a gesture of scorn. As she walked, her magic gently undid the knot in the string that had held it in place.

 

Humming a quiet tune of her own, the silver-bright filly walked into an alley and vanished from sight.

"copy" said the stailon seeing the young colt go from confusion to anoyence looking franticly for his new yoyo

 

"where the hey did it go?" he began to look franticly

[TerminalObsession 250]

Mercury walked towards a haphazard pile of crates and barrels stacked in the back of the alley. Levitating the yo-yo in gray magic, she jumped onto a barrel, kicked off of a crate, and scrabbled onto the roof of a house that formed one of the alley's walls. Folding her hooves under her, she watched as String Shot searched, a smirk decorating her face. Her ears twitched, but she was oblivious to the griffon that followed her.

Mercury slumped forward, nearly falling off the roof. The yo-yo dropped out of her telekinetic grip, bouncing to the street below as her horn went dark. She was surprisingly light in the griffon's talons. It was no wonder, really, that she'd dropped instantly.

Mercury winced and put a hoof to her forehead, just below her horn. Slowly, she sat up. "Where...?" she mumbled as another throb of pain went through her head. Blearily, she looked up at the ceiling before turning her eyes back to String Shot. "How?" she mumbled once again, slumping against the wall and closing her eyes.

Mercury didn't move. Instead, she simply curled up tighter, whimpering slightly, burying her face in her tail. The tiny filly muttered something indistinct as everypony else left the car. Once everypony else had left, however, she stumbled to her hooves and walked after them, trying her hardest to keep her headache from getting worse.

string shot was a bit shaken by the yelling slowly following the other looking back he was glad to see the philly he met before hoof followed. He turned towards the rest

 

"welcome to the dark circus one and all the play ground that's always open!" a voice boomed in a cheerful tone with what seemed like carnival music playing in the backround. in front of them was a stage that had a pink pony talking into the mic

Mercury's eyes widened fractionally, but she urged String on all the same. "Anywhere but here," she whispered. "This place is bad."

 

Twisting her head around as she started to gallop, Mercury locked eyes with Star Bright. Though the tiny filly was a unicorn, she was still too young to use magic and the knife was clutched tightly in one hoof. Mercury gave the filly a wink as her horn lit with gray radiance. A similar glow wrapped around the knife's handle.

 

With a skill she'd learned from pickpocketing, Mercury gently twisted the knife from Star's awkward grip and levitated it into her mouth, ignoring the spike of headache it caused. She'd been so gentle taking it, it took several seconds for the filly to realize her hoof was empty. Mercury twisted her head back so she was facing forward, giving String another shove as she did.

Mercury herself walked slowly backward until she was standing back-to-back with String Shot. Nervously, she glanced back at him. Her eyes darted back and forth a few times, her brow furrowing as she made her decision. Telekinetically, she gently tugged one of String's ears, eyes narrowing. Lifting one silver hoof, she pointed to a gap between two of the bones. It was barely large enough for String to fit through, if he tried hard enough.

 

Abruptly, Mercury kicked off of the ground, taking off at a gallop. Leaping lightly, she vanished into the inky darkness behind the gap. The tip of her tail curled around one of the bones before vanishing into the darkness as well.

Mercury snorted, flicking String with her tail. "That's not gonna help," she said. "What will help is picking up your hooves and moving. So do that." Tossing her head, she started to move forward at an even canter, her hooves clip-clipping across the clean, white tiles that reflected the harsh lighting of the tunnels. Mercury didn't even glance back, though she kept an ear turned towards String. She clearly expected him to follow.

"This isn't fair one moment I have a new yoyo and now I loose it and find myself here" he looked at the Philly seeing her resolve impressed him not knowing many other phillys to act like this. "Well guss we have a maze to go through. Names string shot" he said holding out a hoof to shake.

"Mine's Mercury," the filly replied, extending a silvery hoof and shaking. Her eyes were narrowed and hard as steel, but they shimmered faintly with tears and String could hear her ragged breathing as she marched ahead. Gradually, as they rounded corners and turned at dead-ends, Mercury was speeding up into a canter, each hoofbeat the smallest bit faster than the last as she struggled to find the way out.

As much as they searched they still didn't makee too much progress "slow down, we need to think this through" string shot said almost keeping up with the mare as he gathered his breath from the running around and over all shock of what's happens the young colt asked "so, any idea why were here?" he said looking around at the walls around them giving no answers. "this can't be the same as miss pinky at sugar cube corner could it? No it would not make any sense why she of all pony's would do this she must be possessed or something" he thought out loud
