Rain was coming own hard on the streets of manhatten like a shower as residents went too and fro from work to home and such. It was around the beginning of the night 10pm to be exact, around the time most ponys would be ending their day save the noctunes. One of which wasn't having the best of nights as he was limping on the roof top.

 

This nocturne was a bat pony unlike others of his kind this one was a special one, one would ask if it was hits more pale coate then the usual black one most batponys have. Could it be the lack of the cuti mark, the limp perhaps, or maybe the red and white mane he had.  

 

The answer will come in time dear friend "got ya!" a speaker said pointing his pistol at the bat pony

 

"you cant fly with that wing you monster, your all out of cards and not even your night mother could save you" the speaker in question was a unicorn who was flanked by a gryphon and another batpony. both had pistols tried on the limping bat.

 

The pale batpony smiled turning around "no, just the start" stepping back off the roof he fell down,  "Damn him!"

 

The hunter rushed towards the ledge unable to see our pale pony.....

Ember was on her way back to her hotel room after a night out she passed an alley...

 

Only to hear a rather loud crash as somepony smashed into some rubbish bins. She looks into the alley but it was in total darkness not to mention the rain made things even worse. For some reason the mare decided to head in the alleyway to see what happened. She slowly walked in trying to see in the dark, "what am I doing?" She said outloud to herself then lit up herhorn to try and see into the dark alleyway.

 

"Hello? Anypony there?..." As she walked into the alley.

[cwhip9 1,078]

As she would follow where the noise came from the shifting would happen more aggressively followed by a groan. The said groan would be found by one of the dumpsters, blood could be seen on the ground and the garbage container.

 

Weather the mare herd the hoofs behind her or not the stench of the drunk pony behind her could easily be smelt "and what ya doing around here lil lady" the stallion said behind her. Another chuckle was herd from the drunks buddy at this comment, if she turned she would see 3 pony's rather drunk and not one you would invite to a tea party. Or any party for that matter for any reason as this stallion would stink worse then a common pig.

[Mentis Soliloquy 3,025]

"You lads think your finding a parking lot for your cars... well I'm afraid you're going to be having a car crash when I'm done with you!" She turned away from the vampire she knew not of to face the possible would-by attackers, picking up a object in her magic she was not sure what it was, just that it was heavy.

[cwhip9 1,078]

The lead drunk pony laughed "what makes you think were asking?"

 

At the end of his sentence the 2nd drunk rushed forward to the mare to try to hold her down but to her shock or surprise a grey blur moved in front of her pinning the 2nd to the wall opposite her.

 

The leader trying to work out what was happening didn't realize his comrade was dead by the time he hit the ground. The grey bluer moved behind him going for his 3rd comrade meeting a similar fate....

 

Turning to where his 3rd was, or where he hopped his 3rd was his drunk confident smirk turned to horror as he saw a spray of blood hit his face. He stumbled backward against the wall opposite the mare seeing his 2nd comrades neck ripped open "b...brick?!....Heavy?!!"

[Mentis Soliloquy 3,025]

The mare was in a similar state of shock and fear as the drunk as she watched whatever the creature was doing something messy to the stallion. If she had courage against the drunks she had none against this create, she dropped her weapon and screamed for her life...

[cwhip9 1,078]

The drunk pony got up and began to gallop his way out of the ally, as the mare screamed the grey bluer stopped moving looking at the mare in an annoyed look.

 

The creature was a familer batpony with a red and white mane, blue eyes, a now blood covered muzzle and bat wings that extended. The batpony looked like it was going to say something to her but then police sirens were herd. The creature blurred then seemed to vanish in the dark as the sirens got closer. Some pony's that got out of the car galloped pass her "its over here!" shots rang out from the cops, but to no avail as the creature disappeared.  

[Mentis Soliloquy 3,025]

She slumped down not sure what to do with herself, even after the police had seen to her and gotten her back to her hotel the entire event felt somewhat as if it were a dream to her, she simply walked into her room and went limp on the bed until sleep finally claimed her... her dreams were strange and vivid as she tried to figure out what had happened.

 

(I sleep too, until later) 

[cwhip9 1,078]

(will sleep after this as well)

 

As the next day would come around the hunter paced back and forth in front of his bounty board. The hunter was a red stallion with a blue mane, and a broken unicorn horn. On the board had the batpony from the previous night with a high reward underneath his picture of 5 million bits, or the "retirement" as some would joke.

 

"how in the hell did he get away, we had him we HAD him!" The pony slammed his hoof on the bounty board in anger. The door opened to his office as the gryphon entered. "boss I got a phone for you"  

 

"I swear to Celestia Bones if its another crappy job..."

 

"no its actually the academy" the gryphon called bones said

 

The pony raised an eyebrow "the academy?"

 

The unicorn picked up the phone "ya?"

 

"Why are you going after retirement" a mares voice said on the phone

 

"cuz your too lazy for it, now unless you have some actual information for me your wasting my time"

 

"Streak your the 7th hunter who's trying to get him right now the first 5 died chasing him seriously he's not worth it"

 

"I'm hanging up now" Streak said

 

"noodles! try the pasta shops, all the notes say he loves noodles when he's not feeding hit up a pasta shop"

 

The unicorn called streak blinked "thanks" he sighed "look dark just"

 

"I know, just don't be ok." the mare hung up he sighed sitting down in the chair. Streak looked at the picture on the board.

 

"tonight cresent, your mine come sun down" he swore to the picture.......

[Mentis Soliloquy 3,025]

Ember did not go out that day, she lounged around her hotel room watching TV and ordering room service, she was still unable to put together what had occurred the previous night and may well of been just trying to bury the memory in her head by doing menial things and watching day time TV hoping the back of her mind that whatever occurred was just her imagination running wild.

 

Most of the day passed and she was getting restless to do something at least, so she headed out to find a place to get takeout and then go back to her room to watch some movies or something, but she had to get out and was walking the streets of the city that night...

[cwhip9 1,078]

As the night began the rain was absent which relived most of those coming and going or just having a night in the town of it all. Yet even though it was decent night whether wise, the mood in the city was more tense then the usual crime and such being around the streets. In the newsstand the front page was ablazed with THE PHANTOM STRIKES AGAIN with a paper pony calling it out

 

"extra extra read all about it phantom killer strikes again baffled police. Is this a cover up or simply a mad pony? extra extra!" the young colt called out. Seeing Amber he offered the paper too her "2 bits mom?" he asked  

 

With the crime scean of last nights strange attack photo'd on the front page that happened around ember. The papers were more covering the lone drunk who survived then any mention about amber being their when it all went down. Yet nothing on the creature she saw the night before though.

[Mentis Soliloquy 3,025]

She read the newspaper as she walked to find a place to eat, the pony on the front desk said there was a good Easten (Chinese) resraunt not too far from the hotel and that was her destination. Her mind thought about this phantom attacker and whether he would finish her and the drunk off as they were witnesses? "Nah I'm being paranoid..." She dismissed the idea as she walked.

[cwhip9 1,078]

As she would find her seat at the restaurant and such chatter would be herd around from the other patrons, some about gossip others trivial things like hats, and somehow the discussion of the attack last night came up by some.

 

"The grey phantom you know news papers are running out of ideas when they get into properganda" one patron said

 

"you really believe that conspiracy idea, why would the gov bring out something that harms its own people willingly" his 2nd said

 

"crime wave, experimental weapons, its the big pony you never know" said the first

 

" 'hey celstia I have a weapon to test on pony's know a good spot?' like that'll happen next thing your saying its a vampony rebellion or what ever you read in the tabloids" the 2nd said disgusted.

 

One of the staff brought over a drink of hot sake for ember "your drink madam, from table 7" the pony bowed and continued his work. If she were to look at where table 7 was she would find a white stallion with blue hair and a green scarf wave friendly like. Then continued to eat his food.   

[Mentis Soliloquy 3,025]

She looks over to him. "Why do they think buying drinks gets them somewhere?" She gives a faint hint of acknowledgement and went back to her menu. She really was not too fussed to be meeting anyone new today, considering who she may of met the other night. 

 

But she had a feeling the stallion would invite himself to her table.

[cwhip9 1,078]

Her feeling was understandable yet there was a note on the bottle of sake

I have answers about last night that will help you

 

A # and address was below the writing of the note, she would then see the stallion walk away from his table and leave the resteraunt instead of inviting himself over to her.

 

In the booth behind her a voice spoke up "sorry about last night, I only meant to help you"

 

If she would turn around she would see a gray pony with a hat covering his head along with a trench coat looking into his menue trying not to draw attention to himself. His back was to her but she would probably see a bit of red and white mane under the hat, it was the bluer from the previous night.

 

"don't look at me just focus on your menu please" the pony said.   

 
 

[Mentis Soliloquy 3,025]

Ember was in half a mind to run for her life and never look back at this city mind anything else. She did not run however. "S-save me? Y-you killed two ponies!" She said in a quite voice but worried and scared and demanding she tried to be. "I...I don't even know what you did to the second one?! You ate him or something!" 

[cwhip9 1,078]

(on Mobil/break) "You wouldn't understand" the pony said. Not in anger, not in rage, more sounding tired. "Look if I'm" the pony began but was interrupted by the door bell ringing. The ones who came in aproched the pony. They were 3 ponys all of them in suits. "I think Youv caused enough trouble eh?" said the leading pony. The other two were muscular earth ponys. All of them had shades on. "Last I checked noodles ain't much of a crime" the grey pony said "well your in our spot which is a crime so think we can be resonibul" the lead pony sneard. He didnt smell bad more fancy like more then anything else. "I'll be leaving then" the grey pony was going to stand up but was shoved down by the leading pony. "wait a minute...I've seen you before" The grey pony sighed "I'm sure your mistaken sir" "no, I think not I never forget a face, I think you were on a poster of some sort right boys" The muscle behind him grunted in agreement. "Maybe another bat perhaps look are you going to let me go my noddels are getting cold" The lead pony laughed "well we could help with that" he then shoved the grey ponys muzzle into the bowl of ramen noodles. The patrons all watched or just was too scared to do anything. It was clear this pony owned the restaurant and possibly more. As he pulled the bat from the bowl his face was reveled for all to see "some phantom" the leading pony snered. "Call the pigs boys looks like we just got our retirement"....

[Mentis Soliloquy 3,025]

She turned around too look at this killer and the three who seemed to have him captured. But from the other night, they'd be no match for him if he actually tried to do anything, judging by how he'd been on that night they met. "If you say what you say is true, don't hurt these three then Phantom." 

[cwhip9 1,078]

@@Mentis Soliloquy, The leader smiled "your squeeze here has a good idea Mr. phantom even better" he said slamming the grey pony onto the seat with one hoof raising his other hoof up

 

"you don't hurt me, my boys will hurt her" he smiled a not so friendly smile that would rival a puppy killers.  

 

One of the muscled pony's grabbed ambers mane roughly putting her in a head lock at the leaders prompted command.  "I don't know her leave her out of this" the grey pony said

 

"then lets see what you got, MR Phantom" And slugged the grey pony hard in the face "what you going to do now huh?" he said continuing the punching.

 

A hoof stopped the punch monetarily, the leader didn't notice but as the gray bat pony glared at the body guard who had handled amber. The muscle seem to freeze in place as he held her not by orders of his leader but amber could possibly feel the muscle shaking....in....fear?   

 

The grey bat pony blinked hen closed his eyes letting go of the raised hoof getting hit by the leader, then started counting for each hit it was at the 8th hit that the leader paused.

 

"you keep counting making sure your still awake?" he said bringing the bat pony close to his face

 

"just...waiting..."

 

"your going to die the more you wait" the leader said as he continued his beating of the batpony...was he what he said or would he crack?

[Mentis Soliloquy 3,025]

The lock Ember was stuck in would not allow her to fight back, she could not use her magic either without him knowing and squeezing more around her neck she tried to struggle though, maybe she should not of opened her trap and just ignored him cose now she was stuck in with this bat pony.

[cwhip9 1,078]

As she would try to struggle through the grip of the muscle would lessen for her more as if by fate, will, or something. Yet she was close enough to tell the action wasn't made by the pony's will more like he was...controlled?....forced?...the pony had shown no sign of what was said about the grey phantom but something was their that effect the muscle pony to let her have enough room to speak. would she take that chance?

 

would she risk her neck as the grey pony in front of her seemed to be doing as well?

[Mentis Soliloquy 3,025]

She took the chance in one quick move slipped under his leg, he fell forward to compensate for the lack of something to lean on this allowed Ember to buck backwards knocking him off his hooves entirely. She pulled the first knife she could find in her magic. "Well shall you two dance?"  

[cwhip9 1,078]

As the first muscle stumbled the 2nd mussel rushed her swiping the blade away from him going for her neck fast but not lightning like, which could give ember some room for flexibility.

 

The grey pony attempted to move against the leader who had him pined, the leader looked back "Fixer what they hey you doing?!"

 

Seeing the grey pony move he slugged the thestral in the neck making it hard to breath, he attempted to speak "please...stop..." but to no avail as the leader placed his hoof on the bat ponys neck.

[Mentis Soliloquy 3,025]

She was not really ready for the other pony and tried to counter him too by striking him somehow in their flurry of movements, she was very confused in the back of her mind why and how she was doing all the fighting and this Phantom was doing what seemed nothing to help her in a fight she'd not even signed up for. 

[cwhip9 1,078]

(on Mobil also happy New years!)Whether she signed up for it or not a fight was what ember would find herself in as the 2nd muscle would counter her response till his boss was flung into him. The grey bat pony cracked his neck standing over the leader. The muscel picked the leader back up about to charge the pony when he brought his hoof up towards the muscle. "Go home, find a better job and never work for this twit, your better then that" he said. Much to some of those who watched surprise the muscle wordlessly dropped his boss and simply trotted out. The first muscle seemed frozen still by an unknown reason. The grey pony simply stomped on front of the 2nd muscle who followed his coworker. The leader stired and the gray pony stomped on the leaders leg followed by a loud crack. The leader screamed in pain "your not worth my time" the pony said then trotted out putting his hat back on leaving a top before leaving the dinner.....
