"Not too bad. I mean, it hurts. Duh. But not as much as you think it would. Although that's probably because I'm not really with it at the moment. I think this town's effecting me." She said. She moved round and looked through the window. It didn't look like anypony was in, although after every thing that's happened, she knew that almost everything in this town was decieving. She made sure nopony was watching her before levitating a rock again. And another. And another. Then, she used her magic to spin the rocks around her, making sure they were aligned in a perfect triangle the entire time. She then proceeded to sit down and close her eyes. It was a relaxation trick, supposed to clear one's head. Shadow Strike figured her odd behaviour was due to stress.

Silver Ice looked at the pony next to her (cheeky). "Hi, I'm Silver Ice. What's your name?" She asked politely. Well, this place looks happy. she thought, looking around at all the armed guards and the large, monstrous device in the middle of the room.

"Well it goes without speaking that this town is messing with your head. Given that you're used to the cushy Canterlot lifestyle, this is probably one of the biggest paradigm shifts you could ever go through. That's why I suspect that you'll cross the invisible line that keeps you a normal member of society here. After all, live in the lies and shadows long enough and the truth becomes crystal clear." He said, speaking in an odd philosophical way. It was especially confusing since he was about the same age as the both of them.

(I do predict that she'll become just as much of a sociopathic hero as Chain Mail)

"This town is certainly strange. But I think it's the perfect opportunity to practice my specific skill set. And yes this town is affecting ponies. How would it be that in all of beautiful Equestria, where all equines are happy and living there good lives, there's one town where everypony kills each other."

 

"Some people are certainly more susceptible then other though" He thought while looking at Shadow Strike performing her anti stress tricks.

Carnation yawned, realizing how little sleep she had gotten. "Turing morning already. I guess It will just be another all nighter, not that I can complain. The night been quite wonderful except for that sorry excuse of a..." She turned towards her valued customer and said, "I'm sorry, I will be another moment. Please tell me about finalizing your purchase when I return. It's getting very late, or in this case early."

She trotted towards the door, and was surprised to see so many valued customers... and then one not so valued. "Oh... you've returned... with 'friends'. What do you all want?" She stepped out side and closed the door, not wanting to lose her composure in front of company she cared to keep.

 

(Cheeky) 

 

Cheeky was terrified, but happy to hear a less threatening voice. She turned towards the pony that spoke to her, and timidly said. "M-my name's Cheeky..."

 

(Sound thought, I came back and didn't know you were all here. Missed opportunity, he comes in later.)

"A place for these 2 to rest. More her, and I might rest later when somepony would take shift. And I know that you won't turn us down. You do, after all, know what me and my 'friends' here are capable of." He explained, having a MAJOR air of superiority, with a rigid hardness that would make the toughest of gems look like regular rocks. "And I'm sure you would hate to lose your company." He added as additional insurance that she listened to his demands.

Shadow Strike could feel herself getting angry. The rocks shattered into millions of razor sharp shards flew in all directions, a few going through the shop window. "Oh for Celestia's sake." She muttered, quickly using her magic to retrieve the shards that went thoroughly the window before repairing the actual window. She swiftly used her magic to restore the rocks so that Nopony could get hurt on the shards of rock. "Think happy thoughts, happy thoughts." She mumbled, trying to calm back down, "Think of the bookstore and Canterlot. Think of when Celestia gave you your first mission, anything." Regaining her composure, she wandered back over to the door.

"Yes, I do apologise for before. I do like your dresses, really. I just had some business to attended to. Such a talented pony as yourself should know what it's like after all. You must get tons of calls from out of town."

"Well thank you Chain Mail. I'd certainly like a place to rest, I made a long journey coming all the way to here." he said while smiling gratefully at Chain Mail.

 

"I haven't met you before" He said turning to the dressmaker "I'm NightStrike, pleasure to meet you, how do they call you?"

 

Then he heard the sound of breaking glass and looked at the unicorn mare hastily repairing the windows. "Well it seems like somepony has major anger management problems, that could be useful later on" He thought while grinning on the inside.

And with that, Chain Mail had his blade on her throat. "Did I not make myself clear?" He asked. "Now, since casually telling you what I can do, I'll open up to actual threats. You will go through with what we are asking you because there we all 3 are heavily trained in the art of killing ponies. Piss me off any more and I'll whittle each of your hooves into a bloody stump on each of your legs, impale you with several white hot spikes into each of your legs before ripping each of your ribs out and using them as makeshift knives to stab you to death with. Understand?" He said, his voice as smooth as the silk she had failed to make dresses out of before. "Now, I don't know if you've read the newspapers, but you are almost as infamous as I am. Care for me to expose you for what your special material that you make dresses out of, Dressmaker?" He openly threatened.

"Whoa everypony is going mad here" NightStrike thought "I don't think there is even such a ting as officials here".

 

"Well well, no need to act all mad, should we ponies. I'm sure we could get to an arrangement." He said while while trying to get Chain Mail away from Carnation which wouldn't work.

 

Turing to Carnation "I'm sorry dear did I say something wrong? Or was it Shadow Strike who broke your windows? I think she might have some problems with all the troubles she faces in this town please don't blame her." He said while nodding in an apologizing way.

 

"I was only trying to get a place to rest, I really do. Traveling all day makes you tired. And of course I'd really to take a look at your beautiful dresses." NightStrike added with a big smile.

The pony's calm attitude about these situation only made Carnation even more furious. "I've got a crazy pony with a blade up to my neck! My dresses mean very little if I can't make them." The cold edge of sword, stopped her from continuing her outburst. She knew that for once she would have to control her anger, but she was failing miserably at this task. "Son of a~"

"So, you understand exactly what kind of disadvantage you're working at don't you?" He asked, as calm as ever. In all honesty, if his companions didn't know about the fact that he used to do crap like this for a living it would be fucking surreal to see a pony with a sword so calm. "I suggest that you just be quiet and give us a room for about 12 hours." He said, paying Night's comments no mind. "And do remember, we're all 3 military." He added.

"There is no need for violence." ShadowStrike snapped, before saying to Carnation "I apologise if I offended you in any way. I love your dresses, really, I just had to attend some urgent business. Surely you'd know what that's like, being a top class dress maker. Although I would honestly understand if you didn't want us here." Shadow Strike sat down and looked at the dress maker. She has nice hair. Then again, so do I. When it isn't tied up of course. Shadow Strike thought enviously. She glared at Chain Mail in a way that said 'put the sword down.'

These ponies were mad! Choking the life out of her, and then playing the friend card. Does this pony really know her secret? Wait it's not a secret there all willing. What's even going on?

 

Carnation was suffering from her own denial, and the reality of the situation around her. All she really knew was to keep her anger in check, and not to let any of these ponies stay. Who knows what might happen?

A pony wearing an odd coat walked slowly towards the scene of the chaos. "All right, I think that's enough out of the entire lot." He turned towards Carnation and Chainmail, and said in a very unamused voice, "I expected a lot more from you rookie." Then he turned towards the entire group and counted, "Three, four... Wait, how was I off. There should have been at least two more following you all." He shrugged, "oh well, makes this a lot easier."

 

 

Note: running at him will fail.

"Well, finally. Somepony else that speaks my language." He said, completely amused. "I must say, I'm rather impressed that somepony with an ounce of brain power would think to find me here." He added, still keeping his blade to carnation's throat. "I'd say I'll kill her, and you do know that I would if you know who I am, but I take it that you care just as little about the life of equestria's third most wanted serial killer as I do." He said, watching with the same analytical look that Sound Thought had. "But, what I want to know is. Who are you?" He asked, not appearing to pay any attention to Shadow or Night.

NightStrike turned around with an impossible speed, and looked at the newcomer, he instantly realized that fighting wasn't the best option so like most times, he tried the diplomatic approach. But still he tensed every muscle in his body to be prepared for anything.

 

"Well hello there, I'm NightStrike, I fear things might have gone a little out of hand. You see, I was just asking for a place to rest, when your friend here denied, Chain Mail was kinda eager to make sure she'd accept us."

Shadow Strike swiftly adopted the 'everypony is against you and everypony is your enemy' attitude. She had only one reason for being in Hoofsdale and that was to complete the mission Celestia had given her. "Look, as much as I would like to stay and fight, I really ought to be getting on with the task Celestia gave me." She said bitterly. Shadow Strike took several steps away from the other ponies. "So nopony comes near me until I say." She said aggressively. She sat down and put up a protective barrier around herself, ready to fire at anypony that came near her. Just in case.
