private The Other Ponies

[NinjaCPU 270]

"Five minutes doesn't sound too bad." Carrick sat down. This was a lot to shove in somepony's face in the morning. Trixie, this...pony who has the ability to create something as strong as S Class magic. Not many unicorn can do that, only the elite have been such powerful magic or so he's been told in books.

 

A slight silence came into the air and something felt off. Another pony? Carrick got up slowly as he took each and every detail on his surroundings. Everything seemed fine but, something felt off. "Uh, you." Carrick didn't ask his name as he pointed to Thunder. "Guard that alicorn for the time being." Carrick then turned to Blaze "Blaze, you feel good to take a stroll with me?" Carrick asked.

"Sure, anything I can do to help" Blaze said eagerly.

[NinjaCPU 270]

Carrick adjusted his fedora as he galloped outside Twilight's treehouse. The cloudy skies were forecast today as pegasi moved the clouds around the town of Ponyville. The shade was pleasant from the humidity that was present in the summer day. Still, not even the shade would help relax the citizens of this town. Ponies still gave looks of fear and anger to Carrick and Blaze. Some muttered stuff under their breath.

 

"Heh, even though we seem to help, these ponies seem to hate us." Carrick said. Carrick looked at each and every pony as they gave them stares...

[Half-Note 273]

"Will do," Thunder said.

[Samurshy 708]

"I believe the hate is directed toward me, or rather toward my pedigree" Blaze replied.

[NinjaCPU 270]

"Yeah," Carrick agreed with Blaze. "I guess it must be hard having a infamous parent..." Carrick replied. Though many ponies were gave sharp glances he still felt odd. Carrick continued to gallop forward, his eyes took glances at each and every detail. He took each glance of every ponies' glance, cutie mark, clothing, eyes, mane, tail, everything. Still everything seem fine, maybe I'm just-

 

His eyes widen, as he felt the presence behind him....Nothing. Did they just disappear? Did somepony spy on him? Maybe it's not him, maybe it's Blaze. Who knows... "I must be getting paranoid," Carrick thought aloud.

Ponyborn finished with his spell and ran to find Carrick, his friends had told him some news that he just had to hear. He saw him galloping through Ponyville with Blaze so he ran up to catch them. "Hey Carrick." Began Ponyborn, "They already know were Trixi is...shes in jail...for practicing illegal S class magic." He said

[NinjaCPU 270]

Carrick turned again, this time he knew he wasn't crazy though it wasn't the spy or somepony else, it was the blue alicorn. Ponyborn started "Hey Carrick, they already know where Trixi is...she's in jail...for practicing illegal S class magic."

 

In jail? Carrick attention went to the matter at hand."When did she go to jail?"

[Jonesy 40]

"Three weeks ago." Ponyborn replied

[Samurshy 708]

"Illegal S class?"Blaze said "There are rules to magic, You cannot use S class magic to control free will, reanimate the dead, or murder the living. Those are the rules to S class magic. Something just doesn't sit right with me though, when learning S class magic, the fastest way is to learn from someone else who already knows the spell. I think we should pay this trixie a visit, I have a feeling she had a mentor and I want to know who it is." Blaze said.

[Jonesy 40]

"sounds like a plan, on our way over there" Replied Ponyborn

[Half-Note 273]

"Well let's go see Trixie," Thunder said.

[NinjaCPU 270]

"Which jail? I don't have wings ya'know" Carrick replied.

[Samurshy 708]

"It is okay, I can teleport you there, if need be." Blaze said

[Jonesy 40]

"Just in the Castle Dungeons, they know were comming so lets go." Said Ponyborn

[NinjaCPU 270]

"Alright," Carrick replied. Interrogation with a criminal. It has been a while hasn't it? The conversation between what could lies or truth. An S-class magic spell caster, an illegal spell caster. This one could be very sly with her words. Carrick had to be on top of his game to see what goes farther down this rabbit hole.

 

"Whenever you are ready Blaze, we can go." Carrick said.

[Samurshy 708]

Blaze walked up to Carrick. He bowed his head down so his horn would touch Carrick's forehead. Blaze closed his eyes and his horn began to glow. Blaze felt the familiar tingly sensation that came with teleporting, almost like a low voltage shock. And in an instant they were at the entrance to the royal prison. Blaze stepped back dizzily, his magic casting today has taken its toll, and now fatigue was setting in. Blaze knew this was no time to give into exhaustion, so he put on a serious face. And faked a can-do demeanor. "We are here" He said as he noticed Carricks eyes shut tight still.

[Jonesy 40]

"So they teleported when there is a portal they opened for us right there...in the open...Ok everyone else who wants to come go through the portal." Ponyborn said to the others at Twilight's house. He arrived in the dungeon masters lobby were he saw Blaze and Carrick. "Props to you two for going the hard way." Said Ponyborn

[Half-Note 273]

Thunder followed Ponyborn through the portal.

[NinjaCPU 270]

The touch of Blaze's horn cause Carrick to close his eyes. He doesn't remember himself being teleported ever. He slowly felt a tingly feeling all over his body though short, felt weird to Carrick. He held his eyes close, Carrick didn't know if the feeling meant that he just started or they were already there.

 

"We are here" Blaze said. Carrick opened his eyes. The Royal Prison. Though he has been here many times before he was always amazed by the immense size of the building. A color of dull grey that touched the walls. Small windows covered with metal bars. On each corner, had Ponies to guard the building as well as Pegasi that flew around to guard this building with their lives. The detective turned to Blaze. Though his face was full of determination. He's seen that look on himself so many times. A look of a fatigue. Though it might be small, Carrick took a mental note on it. "Let's go" Carrick went inside the building.

 

The lobby room was a plain white room. There were chairs for ponies to relax and waited to be called on if it was to see a family, friends, or their fates. Carrick went to turn to see Ponyborn and Thunder already inside "Props to you for going the hard way" Ponyborn said.

 

"Well it's always fun going the extra mile" Carrick said. The detective went to the guard up front. The guard was wearing the royal guard uniform. His fur was of a white color and his mane was blue that was neat and clean. He was built strong and has seen some battles as a two large scars came from his forehead and his nose. His large blue eyes held straight up as he guarded the door behind him.

 

"Carrick Murphy, Detective. We're here to see Trixie"

 

The guard indifferent expression turned to dumbfound "Oh Cal! I haven't seen you in a while."

 

"Well, I've been busy having cups of tea and dancing on the moon, Rick." Carrick said sarcastically.

 

Rick gave an unimpressive look, "You still have that odd humor of yours. That's going to kill you one of these days. Y'know?"

 

"Hopefully not anytime soon. Now, as much as I would like to catch up, time is of the essence."

 

"Oh, sorry. Come in." Rick moved out of the way. He opened the door for the four ponies.

 

The hallway lead to two doors an interrogation room and the prison itself. There was also a two guards that protected the prison door.

Carrick walked in as another guard open the interrogation room. The interrogation room was just a small white room. A mirror that behind was Carrick and a door. There was a small wooden table in the middle of the room. There was a small window on the side as well that showed the late morning. Carrick sat down and gave an relaxed sigh "It has been a long time, hasn't it?" Carrick said more to himself than the group...

[Samurshy 708]

As Blaze walked through the prison, he was met with stares of disdain and disgust, from both the prisoners and the guards. It was clear everyone here knew who he was, he heard one prisoner shout "Hey, Pheonixtear come inside my cell I have a hoof I want to shove in your face" as Blaze followed Carrick, (who was already in the interrogation room).

[Half-Note 273]

Thunder stood at the corner of the room. To himself he secretly wanted to see Trixie again.

[Jonesy 40]

Ponyborn decided it was best to stay out of Carrick's way while he talked to Trixi, so he hung back next to Thunder in the corner.

[NinjaCPU 270]

Carrick started prepping himself. He went and read the notes that have written down in this investigation. He took everything the other ponies and himself had said in this case. He'd have to go solo for now. This is the time where he has to shine. Any hesitation, any screw up can mess up this case. The door open, two guards were holding a blue unicorn. The blue unicorn had a white mare that was straight with a curl at the end of each of side. An old orange uniform that various other inmates have worn before her. Her purple eyes gave a glance at each and every pony in the room. At quick surprised at the sight of Blaze as her eyes grew slight smaller. Though at slight gasp and dilation of her eyes as her eyes connected with Thunder. Flabbergast to see him.

 

"Ahem!" Carrick said, annoyed by her stare. Trixie quickly turned her eyes back to Carrick. Trixie was let go of by the guards. "Tell us if there is anything you need, Detective. We'll be right outside" Carrick gave them a nod as they walked out of the room and closed the door.

 

"Good Morning, my name is Carrick Murphy. I'm here to ask you some-"

 

"Trixie knows why you are here! The powerful and great Trixie knows all!"

 

Carrick gave a slight "heh" under his breath. "Fine then. What is your name?"

 

"Have you not have heard of MY name?! I have just said I am the great and powerful Trixie! Do you not listen?"

 

Carrick wrote down her name. "What was your occupation?"

 

"The Great and Powerful Trixie IS a magician of great feats!"

 

"Alright than. Let's get started. Why have you been incarcerated?"

 

"Trixie was found doing magic spell that is not legal in the parts of Equestria."

 

"What kind of magic spell?"

 

"A magic spell that would have amazed many patrons! A mind control spell!" Trixie pulled both her hooves in the air, it was like she was at her show, full of excitement.

 

"Oh, so the idea of your spell was to amaze your audience? I don't believe you." Carrick look at Trixie's body language and eyes, trying to perceive a fallacy from her.

 

"Well, Trixie is telling the truth."

 

"Why would you do a spell that would be illegal to a group of ponies? Why get into big trouble for that?"

 

Trixie gave a big hmph and turned her head away from Carrick. "Trixie does not have answer those questions. Either ask some other questions or Trixie is done with you."

 

If I push her on that, I might lose her. I better try another approach.

 

"Can you tell me what happened when you were arrested?"

 

"Why do you keep asking Trixie such trivial questions? Haven't you read the report?"

 

"Enlighten me." Carrick said.

 

Trixie gave a annoyed sigh, "Trixie was caught in the house Trixie was residing. Trixie was practicing her spell late at night on a unsuspecting pony. Trixie needed to get the spell just right so when she showed it to the world it would be amazing! However, a damn pony saw some suspicious activity at my resident and the police came around. When they saw Trixie doing the spell they arrested me on the spot."

 

"So, I'm guessing the spell worked like a charm?"

 

"Yes! It would have been so amazing to show Trixie's adoring fans." Trixie said excitedly.

 

"I see," Carrick wrote down what she had said, "how did you learn that spell?"

 

Her eyes shifted to the left for a second than turned back to Carrick. "Trixie learned it from a book."

 

"Oh? How did it take you to learn that spell?"

 

"It only took Trixie three months to learn it! Since Trixie is all powerful!"

 

"Three months? I don't believe you."

 

"Trixie is telling the truth! What would Trixie get if I lie you?"

 

"That's what I'm wondering myself. It take at least a year for anypony to learn that kind of spell even a pony with innate skills like Twilight Sparkle."

 

"DO NOT SAY THAT I AM LOWER THAN THAT PONY!" Trixie's horn glowed for a second before it dissipated. Carrick seemed unfazed by that small tirade. He found a trigger.

 

"If you say that pony's name again Trixie will leave!" Trixie stated.

 

"I apologize," Carrick said. "though you seem to have a beef with this pony, why?"

 

"That damn pony destroy any credibility Trixie had! Trixie is happy that Twilight has disappear as well! She get for what she has done to Trixie!" Trixie gave Carrick a deadly glare.

 

"Very well. However, I'd like to go back to you learning that spell. If you say you have found a book. What's the book called?"

 

"The book? Uhh...." Trixie looked left again "....The Book of Ultimate Spells?"

 

"By who?"

 

"Uhh.......Princess Celestia?"

 

Carrick shook his head. "You're a bad liar, Trixie. If there was such a book, I doubt that it would Princess Celestia to write it. Next time, try Star Swirl the Bearded."

 

Trixie eyes widen, she got trapped by such a simple trick. She gritted her teeth "So what? Trixie lied! That doesn't mean anything!"

 

"Oh, it does because now lies the question on why you lied...."

 

(As much fun as it is writing the dialogue between these two, it's 1:15 in the morning. I'm TIRED. You can still reply a bit (since this is a major point) I'll finish this in the morning after I get my breakfast. Have a good night.)

[Half-Note 273]

Thunder walked up from his place at the corner of the room. "Come on doll. Just tell him what he wants to know," Thunder said to Trixie.
