private Canterlot Mystery

[Nothing&NoOne 695]

Ebony nodded and smiled the entire time. "Of course, it's fine." She said in a strained voice. She shut the doors and locked them with her magic when they left, and she sat on the ground, sighing. She got up after a few minutes and went to her mirror. Her eyes were watering, but they looked angry. She recoiled from her reflection. 'What's wrong with me?' She thought. She leaned closer to the mirror, inspecting her vengeful eyes. She touched the mirror with her hoof and her eyes flashed, and turned completely white, glowing in a ghostly way. The mirror cracked and shattered where she touched the mirror. She took a few steps back from the mirror, feeling rage and power grow. Her eyes flashed white again, and the windows behind her cracked in one spot, then spread upward. She heard something clicking and turned in time to see a Nix fly from the darkness at her, startled when the windows started cracking. It launched itself at her, clinging onto her right foreleg with sharp claws, edges, and long spiked teeth. She screamed in pain and anger, swinging it off her leg, blood trickling out of the gashes. She put weight on her leg and hissed in pain, lifting it off the ground. She looked up and saw the Nix on the ground, looking winded. She snarled, a black magic spell shooting from her horn and into the Nix's eyes, killing it instantly. She stood there fuming, her eyes burning with glowing white fire.

Stonewall felt something wrong in the magical feild, but was unable to pinpoint it. For the first time in eternity, he collasped in his own bed, falling asleep immeadiately. Cidersoul was in much the same position. But, she couldn't sleep peacefully. When she awoke, she found herself outside of Ebony's door. Confused for a second, she tried to enter, only to find it locked. Her confusing growing, she tried to open it again when she heard the scream. "Ebony!" she yelled at the top of her lungs. In an instant Stonewall was at the door, bashing it down. He burst into the room to see a very flammable Ebony.

 

Pinkie Pie was latched onto Cameron the instant they were in the truck. She kept looking at him in a creepy manner. Finally, she moved over and sat on his lap provacatively. "So... you've never kissed a mare?" She asked seductively. "Come here and let Pinkie show you what you're missing.~" Wrapping her hooves around his neck, she closed her eyes and planted her lips on his. This quickly devolved into a french kiss, and soon he was laid on his back, with her kissing his neck.

Cameron's Eyes widened and he blushed wildly. ''Uh...'' Said Splinter as his jaw dropped. Cameron pushed Pinkie Pie off of him. ''I wouldn't want to!'' Said Cameron as frowning. ''Cameron... Gods Gracious.'' Said Splinter as staring at Cameron.

[Nothing&NoOne 695]

Ebony turned towards the door, blood trickling down her right leg and dripping onto the floor. She growled in a very un-ponylike way, her eyes narrowed dangerously into slits. Her horn glowed with black magic again, and a few of the windows shattered. She ignored the glass raining down on her and kept her eyes on the possible threats in front of her, black magic crackling around her.

[null123456 759]

''Pinks, Cameron hates mares.'' Said Splinter as looking over to Cameron.

[HigurSan 195]

Pinkie Pie looked at Splinter, then Cameron. "Well," she said after a moment. "You're going to have to break him of that Splinter. Otherwise he's going to be spending some time in my storage room at Sugarcube corner." The way she said it sounded completely innocent. But somewhere in there was a very disturbing undertone, speaking of what might happen. Looking back at Cameron, she was instantly bubbly again. "Oh I'm sure we're going to have such fun! Did Splinter ever tell you about the time he was bisexual for a month? If he has, oh well! Let me tell the real story." So the conversation went like this as the truck went to wherever it was going.

 

Stonewall looked somewhat shocked at Ebony's appearance. "Ebony...," he whispered softly. "Its okay. Please, let your magic down. The threat is dead." While saying this, he carefully moved forward, step by step. Eventually, he was face to face with her. "We need to get you to a doctor, you're bleeding alot Ebony. Please, just calm down." Cidersoul had made the right decision and retreated to find a doctor by that point. A moment later, a cautious medical pony poked its head around the corner, gulping in fear. "M-ma'am," it said. "We need you to uhm, let the magic disperse before we can deal with you."

((OMG i missed sooo much. sorry i was super busy without notice. can someone message me a quick summary?))

After the murder and Stonewall and Ebony carrying on, Artemisia felt she was unable to fulfill her duty. She left Canterlot to see her lady like mother for advice. She returned back to Canterlot as all this was happening with a new found confidence.

 

((Then can someone tell me where i should be?!))

The truck arrived at a Rainbow Colored Building. When everyone walked out they were welcomed with 3 armed soldiers. ''Okay.. I'm Splinter Hood. I'm allowed in here, And I would like to bring my companions in... We cool?'' Said Splinter to the three armed soldiers. The Armed Soldiers saluted and let them in. A insane party zone was inside the building. Many Drunk mares and Stallions were in the party zone. Sadly, a few of them were too drunk and tried to attack Splinter. He knocked them out then looked over to Pinkie Pie.

''The zone is all yours!'' Said Splinter as saluting.

Ebony's ghostly white eyes cast light onto Stonewall's face. She growled lowly again, the remaining windows cracking. She gasped suddenly and her eyes went back to normal. Her pupils her very small and she stared straight ahead into nothing for a few seconds, then cried out in pain and put a hoof to the side of her head. She trembled and the rest of the windows shattered.

[HigurSan 195]

(Basically Art, a few people went crazy. Stonewall is now King of Westriver and he is getting married to Ebony and Cidersoul (another mare, who is being forced to marry him despite them being childhood friends.) Otherwise, we had a Gala, which stuff happened at. Splinter is far away with Pinkie Pie (by me) at a huge party.)

 

Pinkie Pie looked at the massive party and sighed heavily. "Seriously Splinter? You think this is even a challenge to me? Watch this." One moment she was there, the next a giant congo line was snaking across the room. As the line continued, she was making out with three stallions and a mare at the same time. The party soon grew to revolve around Pinkie, as always. Massive amounts of cider and sasparilla were consumed. Needless to say, Pinkie Pie dragged Splinter off to a bedroom again, taking his entire squad with him, even Cameron, who recieved a strapping young stallion for his benefit.

 

Stonewall caught Ebony in his hooves as the doctors rushed in. Inspector Coppertail was not present for once. Instead, his second, Lieutenant Ice-eye was in attendance. Unlike his name, the unicorn was a very friendly pony, despite his alarmingly blue eyes. Stonewall followed the medical help into the doctor's office, where they proceeded to heal Ebony. When they were done, the doctor gave him a status report. "My Lord, she has suffered alot of bloodloss due to cuts from glass and that... thing. It appears she will be fine, but she might not be able to walk without assistance for a week or two. I would recommend bedrest, but that obviously is not an option. So, we will be supplying a wheelchair until she can walk."

[null123456 759]

''I swear as soon as I get out of this...'' Said Cameron in a Enraged tone. ''Wow... This is so Much FUN!'' Said Ryan as smiling widely. ''I've never been so exhausted in my entire life...'' Said Conner as breathing heavily. ''When will I get to do this alone with Pinks?!'' Yelled Splinter as he rolled his eyes.

[Nothing&NoOne 695]

Ebony was fighting with herself not to struggle against the doctors. She felt like she was going to snap again at any moment, so she stayed quiet, her eyes squeezed shut and grinding her teeth.

[HigurSan 195]

At that point in time, the party was drawing to a close. In the center of the sputtering storm stood a small filly. She was a pretty thing, all golden locks of mane and a silky coat. Many of the ponies seemed to be ignoring her, except for those too drunk to not notice. One unfortunately mare happened to stumble into the filly, causing her to fall on her rump. A flash of light and a scream later, a large pony sized smoking crater was suddenly present. In an instant, the party turned to look at the hole, then the suddenly scary filly. Standing to her full height of about half of a regular mare, the filly growled. The first pony to move died instantly, vaporised in a beam of magic. Like the dam breaking, chaos spread as more ponies fled for their lives, crashing into each other in a frantic attempt to escape. Eventually the screams and yells punched through the wall of Pinkie's personal room. Rolling her eyes, the party pony opened the door to a scene of misery. Ponies lay around the floor in various states of half-death. That was if they were lucky. A stallion, presumably a guard, was trying to crawl away from the little horror. The filly simply stepped on his back, crushing his spine and slowly pressing the life out of his body.

 

Pinkie, as was usual, wasn't shocked in the slightest. However, she was as mad as any pony ever was. A growl like a feral animal rumbled from her throat, her tail twitching back and forth. This drew the filly's attention, looking to the pink pony with disdain. "Oh, Pinkie darling," a much older voice said. "I was hoping to find you here. Your friends and guests were just telling me about how wonderful the party was." The filly picked up a mare by her head, smiling. "Wasn't it wonderful deary?" The mare, scared for her life, nodded weakly. With amazing strength, the filly threw the mare across the room into the wall, shattering her skull on impact. "Oh, it appears that the party-goers have to go home dear. They have to go ALL the way home." A crying stallion was silenced forever by a burst of magic. "Now Pinkie, come with me so I can take you to a REAL party. The BEST. ONE. EVER."

 

Pinkie Pie then did the impossible, as was done by her every day. Pulling a cannon out of nowhere, she pulled the trigger. A large, and very angry crocodile launched towards the filly, only to bounce off a sheild an fly into the ceiling. As the filly advanced, Pinkie pulled more party tricks out to play. Cake, candy, balloons, and even streamers. All of them bounced off the inpenetrible sheild of magic. Finally, the pair stood face to face, both panting heavily. Pinkie, in a last ditch effort, made the greatest of all party tricks: A disappearing act. The filly simply reached into the air above her and pulled a struggling Pinkie to the ground. "Now deary, you know momma hates it when she has to punish you. Please be a nice little filly so momma can speak to your friend." This only drew another fit of biting and kicking from a enraged Pinkie. The filly walked into the room, dragging Pinkie by her hair. "Ah Splinter, its so good to see you," the filly said with a grin. "I hope to see you again soon. Be sure to bring your squad when you want to come over and play. Ta-ta now. Me and the little darling have to get hom before supper." In an instant, the filly and Pinkie vanished.

 

Stonewall walked over to Ebony, seeing her pain. As the doctor's went away, he smoothed her hair and whispered in her ear. "Ebony, whats wrong? Have the Nix done something to you, other than the bite on your leg? Please tell me."

[Nothing&NoOne 695]

Ebony looked at him, then closed her eyes and shook her head. She was scared; she could lose control like that around someone and kill them. She almost killed Cidersoul and Stonewall, and she felt horrible. But she did like all the power that she felt when the black magic was surrounding her, and she felt shame and guilt because of it. She killed the Nix with one shot and broke all her windows without even meaning to. She looked at the gauze that was wrapped around her right foreleg, stained with blood in some spots. She touched it with her other hoof and winced.

[Artemisia 166]

Artemisia was at the palace, she had just arrived, and was taking a stroll in the garden. So much had happened while she was away. She was dumbstruck. What happened?

 

 

((Back to the garden ))

[HigurSan 195]

Stonewall sighed as it appeared that she continued to blame herself. He got on the medical bed next to her, pulling the mare into his embrace. "Please don't be sad," he whispered in her ear. "This... its my fault. I should have been able to find another solution to Cidersoul's problem. I love you so much, it hurts. Please find it in your heart to forgive me." He laid his head on top of her neck, drooping his ears. The doctor's thought it best to inform Ms.Atremesia and inform her of current events.

[Nothing&NoOne 695]

Ebony held onto him as well. "It's not your fault. I don't blame you for anything. You're a good friend..doing what you are for Cidersoul." She sniffed, burying herself in his arms.

[null123456 759]

Splinter's jaw dropped, so did the others. ''Was that... My old Girlfriend?'' Said Splinter as his eyes widened. ''AND SHE JUST KIDNAPPED THE NICE DERANGED PINK MARE I WAS GOING TO SCORE WITH SOMEDAY, MAYBE!'' Said Splinter as grabbing his mask from a nearby table. ''Splinter... Almost every girlfriend you have ever had are mentally insane or party crazy.'' Said Cameron as rolling his eyes. ''Shut up Cameron.'' Said Splinter as putting his mask on. ''Everyone ready for a Marehunt?'' Said Splinter as smirking over his mask. ''I'm ready!'' Said Conner as smiling.

[HigurSan 195]

Stonewall sighed and drooped his eyes some more. A rather confused doctor trotted by, obviously on his way to do something. The fact that he came galloping back the opposite direction drew Stonewall's attention. The hallway outside of Ebony's hospital room was eerily silent. A slow clippity-clop was all that was heard. When a rather adorable filly in a hospital gown limped into the room, Stonewall dismounted the bed. Trotting over to her, he was about to ask her if she was okay when she looked into his eyes. It was like looking into the eyes of everypony he had ever hated and feared, wrapped in a golden coat and curled grey mane. The pair stood there for a moment, when the filly tackled Stonewall. For a moment he struggled, until he realized she was hugging him. Looking down at her on his chest, he looked at her more closely. Despite the differing colors, she looked alot like him. Looking at her sides, he noted pegasus wings. "J-jasmine... lil sis... is that you?" he asked with a whisper.

 

The filly nuzzled into his neck, not saying a word. With a confused glance, he stood up, holding the tiny filly in one forehoof. Looking at the hallway again, the sound had resumed moments ago. Her eyes were still giving him the same feeling, it was just less noticable. Turning back to Ebony, he said. "Uhm... this is my youngest sister Ebony. I... I haven't seen her since a week after she was born. I left my home and started my journey here before we really got to know each other. I don't think she can talk." The filly remained with her head in his chest. Inspecting her, he noticed that her her right hindhood was in a cast. "Oh sis, what happened to you?" "She was attacked," said Lord Fireheart, who had just entered the room. Stonewall looked up at his father in suprise. "A large brick was thrown at her two weeks ago. You see the result."

 

"But why would someone do this?" Stonewall asked. "She's just a filly." Lord Fireheart sighed and gestured Stonewall over to the bed. Once he was seated, the explanation began. "Stonewall, I know this comes as a shock, but your mother and I have come to believe that the deaths of you brothers, and the attacks on our family are because of you." He continued before the stallion could protest. "It has become apparent that the longer you remain off the throne, the more these attacks will increase. As we cannot find the perpetrator, I am giving you the throne for the sake of your siblings. All of our family has arrived in Canterlot to attend your coronation. I can only hope that we will catch the ponies responsible should they make an appearance." During the conversation, Jasmine had left Stonewall's embrace to cuddle inbetween Ebony and him, hugging them both.

 

At the remains of the party, medical ponies had arrived, though the mortality rate was high. Out of the ponies attending, only a third would survive until the next morning. Survivors were questioned, specifically Splinter and company. A very angry Lieutenant Ice-heart was glaring at the group. "Now listen you ponies," he commanded. "My brother died tonight. I want everything you know about what went on here, and I want it now."

[null123456 759]

''Listen, Lieutenant. That was my old girlfriend... And I have no idea why she would kidnap Pinks.'' Said Splinter as taking off his mask. ''You are Insane.'' Said Conner as rolling his eyes. ''All your fault.'' Said Cameron as looking as Splinter. ''Even I have to agree with this.'' Said Ryan as frowning. ''SHUT THE HELL UP!'' Yelled Splinter as huffing. ''She could kill anyone in a heartbeat... I saw her talking to Pinks.. And... And.'' Said Splinter as he ripped his mask off. Tears rolled down his eyes. ''I don't know what happened to her.'' Said Splinter as wiping the tears from his eyes. Edited June 20, 2012 by Calirolls

[Artemisia 166]

Artemisia looked down at her hooves surprised? "Monsieur Fine Tune, It's a pleasure to see you again. Are you alright?"

Ebony looked up when the filly came into the room. She stayed quiet and looked at the bloody gauze wrapped around her foreleg and sighed. She stiffened when Jasmine hugged her, and she turned her head away from her. She remembered being the same when she woke up in the hospital after the carriage accident.

[HigurSan 195]

Lieutenant Ice-heart looked over the scene, tears beginning to bud at his eyes. Shaking his head, he sighed. "Why would anypony do this. I know all of these deaths mean something, even twisted as it may seem. Sir, I'm going to ask you something personal. I am as of now giving you complete authority to track these bastards down, no matter how long it takes or where it takes you. You want Pinkie Pie back, and I want my brother to be avenged. While... while we may not get both of those, I want you to make damn sure at least one of those is accomplished. Now soldier, go get em before Equestria descends into Chaos."

 

The stallion sighed and looked out on the scene again. "This foulness, it's spread beyond Canterlot. Ponyville, Cloudsdale, Westriver, and Trotterton. They're all very different places, but they are also all drawn into this mess. Over the last month, there have been more murders than in the past century. Your unit is probably the best trained military squad available for this mission. The parameters are simple, kill or capture any ponies responsible for the chaos. I want this plot ripped to shreds, you hear me? Make them regret they day they first set foot into Equestria."

 

Stonewall sighed, looking over at Ebony and hugging her. Jasmine managed to squirm out of suffocating, and popped her head out onto his shoulder. Soon, the little filly was alseep like a rock. Lord Fireheart made a move to take her away, but Stonewall warded him off. The soon to be ex-king nodded. "Before I go," the stallion whispered. "Your coronation is tomorrow at high noon. Both Princess's will be attending as will the majority of Equestrian nobility. I know what happened the other night is unforgivable, but please remain civil with Celestia. She deeply regrets what she did, and I expect she will be making an apology. Aswell, the wedding has been arranged as you asked, and will take place directly after to Coronation. Good luck son. I know that you'll make a marvelous king, husband,... and father." The last comment was directed at Ebony, with an added wink of encouragement.

[Nothing&NoOne 695]

Ebony nuzzled him lightly, still lost in her own thoughs. She looked up when she heard "father", letting her mane fall infront of one of her eyes. She gave a weak half smile to Lord Fireheart and tried pushing herself up into a more seated position. She put weight on her injured leg without meaning to and bit back a cry of pain.

[null123456 759]

Splinter Saluted. ''Vengeance with be given, Lieutenant. Okay, Team. LET'S GO!'' Said Splinter as signalling for his team to follow him. They got in the truck. ''Cameron, I need your tracking device.'' Said Splinter as the truck began to drive. Cameron tossed his Tracking Device to Splinter in a Heartbeat. ''Were going to Canterlot first... I know a friend who can help.'' Said Splinter as the Truck began to drive to Canterlot. ''Who is it?'' Said Ryan as cocking an eyebrow. ''His name is Stonewall... If I can find him he will be a big help.'' Said Splinter.
