Manehatten, Baltimare and Clues
Dameon scowled as he sliced into another bandit with his ninjato. You would think that after two days of nonstop attack that they would learn. Meanwhile Luke was in the background taking potshots at bandits that got too close to Dameon. At least, before a bandit ran through his back with his sword.
The bandit smirked through the sword pommel that was in it's mouth, waiting for Luke to slide of his blade. Instead, he was very surprised when Luke spun around and landed a spinning kick to the side of the pony's head. Luke reached behind himself and pulled the sword out of his spine, before slashing horizontally, cutting of a unicorn's head, before slamming his leg backwards into the next bandit that rushed at him.
As Dameon ran his ninjato into the last bandit's throat, Luke started to get to work on the bodies. He quickly sawed off the unicorns' horn. A few weeks of traveling towards Manehatten, they both learned that there was a black market, who would give a lot of money for unicorn horns. It was, strange, to say the least. You see, unicorn horns were connected straight to the skull, and had a thin cord of muscle that led to the brain, which could cause a unicorn to use magic. Both Dameon and Luke learned that the hard way when they first done that. Cutting the strange piece of meat off the end of the unicorn horn they first cut off when bandits came after them.
When Luke was finished, Dameon opened, what he dubbed a 'pocket dimension', and placed the horns into it. A pocket dimension was a small dimension used to store multiple items, and it continues to grow with each item put into it, and shrinks when an item is taken out. Then, they continued along the path, Manehatten in sight.
Meanwhile in Ponyville
Almost everybody was in a panic, for the past five weeks there had been no word of Luke and Dameon being anywhere, even after they stopped the prejudice against Zecora not even two days ago, she couldn't tell them either.
However, the only one who wasn't panicking was a single unicorn. She was Twilight Sparkle, and she wasn't panicking, no instead she was worried. Worried about what might happen. She looked at the letter she copied down before sighing, she went to everybody's place and invited them over to the library.
"Twilight, what's this all about? We need to be looking for Luke and Dameon!" exclaimed Rainbow Dash.
"This has to do with Luke and Dameon," Twilight stated as she lifted the letter and read it aloud to them all.
"So wait, they're going to look for someone? Then why didn't they start here? Or better yet, why are they threatening the princess?!" shouted Rarity.
"I don't know, but it must be someone important. As for the marking, I searched the entire library for any mention of the mark, but none appears. Maybe someplace else has it and that's why they left? I don't know!" yelled Twilight, both angry and sad at losing a friend.
Meanwhile at Manehatten
After a fit of sneezing they finally managed to get to a large library. They looked at it and nodded at each other, before walking up the steps and into the library. As they entered, they immediately ignored the librarian and strode forwards.
They got to a reference section and looked around for anything that could point them to clues on the marks. Finally, they found a book that had a section pointed to something titled 'The Old King'
They looked through the library until they finally found it. A reference they read that before the two princesses ruled their kingdom, there was an old ruler, who, as the book stated, just wanted to, 'brighten up the place' though it never said anything about the past ruler's description. Still though, the book could be useful as well as a few others that they saw earlier, they calmly grabbed a them.
"Prepare fo plan alpha." stated Luke as they walked towards the door, before the librarian attempted to stop them.
"I'm sorry sirs, but I cannot allow you to leave with those books." she stated, smiling nervously.
Luke looked at her, before stating, "Plan Alpha is a go." His body was enveloped with light temporarily blinding everyone that was near them. Meanwhile Dameon ducked into a corner, put his two pointer fingers into a cross and muttered, "Shadow Clone Jutsu." Dozens of clones appeared, half of them staying the same, half of them morphing into Luke's color of scales and height, making easily 20 copies of them throughout the library.
Finally Luke's light died down, and when everybody looked, they gasped as they saw multiple Lukes and Dameons all of them holding the same books in their arms. They all gave devious smirks before shouting all at once, along with the originals, "Scatter!"
Needless to say, there was chaos. Guards tried to find the originals, but most of what they got were clones, but, since the clones were extensions of Dameon, each one knew what to do if they were close to getting caught. They would each pull shadows in, hiding them from sight, and do the Jutsu over again, making more and more copies until the originals finally got away. At which, all clones dissipated into clouds of smoke.
Meanwhile in Canterlot
Celestia was in her room, rubbing her temples, trying to fight back a headache. After the letter from Luke and Dameon. Multiple bandit groups went missing, when it was investigated, the unicorn's horns were cut off of them, along with the rest of the bandits dead. At first it seemed like a blessing, until the nobles started to ask questions.
At first it didn't seem like much, just random questions that tried to slip her up, but then it got progressively worse. Now they were actively trying to get answers, answers she couldn't give, since she herself didn't know either.
Then, earlier today, there were reports of multiple dragons that looked the same, running around town after they stolen some books, then, after a few hours of the chase, they all vanished into a puff of smoke, gone.
"Tia, what's wrong?" came a voice from behind her, Celestia jumped and turned around facing her sister Luna, before she flopped onto her bed.
"I don't know Luna," Celestia answered, "It's just after Twilight sent that letter for Luke and Dameon, everything is going worse."
"What letter, Tia?" asked Luna.
Celestia inwardly cursed herself out, before sighing and stated, "Here, read for yourself." She levitated the letter to Luna and waited for her to finish.
"Tia, you don't think they will try to free-" Was all Luna managed to say before Celestia cut her off.
"No, I don't think they will, at least, so long as we don't tell them." stated Celestia.
"But did you even read what it-" started Luna before Celestia interrupted.
"Yes I did read the letter, and I don't think they have enough manpower to attack the castle. No matter what they do, this is an empty threat." Celestia said harshly.
"Whatever you say, Tia," Luna said sadly at not being taken seriously.
3 Weeks Later
Dameon scowled heavily. They just got to Baltimare and was immediately arrested by the guards, one of them stating that they looked like the two wanted criminals that Princess Luna personally handed out to the major cities.
Luke and Dameon were having the same thoughts, 'That bitch! After we fucking saved her soul from eternal damnation she repays us by making us wanted criminals!' Demons were known for condemning their host souls to eternal damnation, never to allow the host soul to return for rebirth. They both sat down in the cell and started to contemplate a way out without alerting the guards. Finally, Dameon realized that the bars were made of metal.
Muttering after slapping his face, he waited until their weren't any guards around that he reached for the bars and gripped them. He focused and pulled them apart, his metal powers softening them until they had the same flexibility as rubber.
They both stepped through the hole, let all of the other prisoners out, mainly to cause hell if any of them escaped to outside the city and a small part to get revenge on the Princess. Together they all walked out, and, with the prisoners running one way, Luke and Dameon the other, they raced away.
Luke and Dameon rushed to the library, quickly searched, taking a few interesting books, along with the book they were looking for, and bolted out of the place, all the guards occupied with other escaping prisoners they went out and escaped without any resistance.
In Canterlot
Celestia sighed heavily in her quarters as new report came in of Luke and Dameon being apprehended. She walked towards the door, getting ready to get into a carriage to Baltimare, when another letter came in. She opened it up, eyes widening with each line. She slumped on the bed. Before calling a guard to fetch Luna.
As soon as Luna came in, Celestia inquired, "Why did you, Luna, send every major city after Luke and Dameon?"
"They are a threat!" exclaimed Luna, "They are threatening us and literally telling us that they are going to free the most protected prisoner on the planet! Everypony knows what would happen if they succeed!"
During conversation
"I still say it represents abstractness." grumbled Sweetie Belle.
"What are you, a dictionary?" asked Scootaloo.
One week later, Ten Miles outside Canterlot
Both Luke and Dameon shivered ever so slightly as a breeze blew from the direction of Canterlot.
"He's back in action." was all Dameon stated as they quickly picked up the pace towards Canterlot.
