After the talk with the princess, who appeared to be normal now Twilight Sparkle decided to take some rest feeling relief.
She laid down in the bed in a room and closed her eyes… She was resting for some time when suddenly heard a voice. She fast opened her eyes and looked around confused but after not finding anyone there…
She thought that it was only her imagination so she closed her eyes again…
But after some minutes later she heard another noise but it appeared to be closer and louder.
She just ignored the sound and tried to fall asleep now, thinking that it must have been something nearby outside.
But the third time she heard that it was right next to her head. She fast rolled out of the bed right on her hooves and activated her magic as she didn't knew what happened. She looked around slowly just to see that nothing/no one was in the room.
Then she remembered that thing… teasing her back in the throne room and she became a bit more cautious.
"Show yourself!" Said Twilight Sparkle while she was ready to shoot a beam at anything that was about to attack her.
"Hahahah… you couldn't have possibly think that it would be that easy." Said the "thing".
There was something in its voice that just made chills running through Twilight Sparkle's back.
"As I have seen, you wanted to have some nap time… Can I help you by turning off the lights?"
All of the sudden all the lights were gone… Twilight Sparkle could only see the glow of her horn and for some reason the frame of the window but not the sun which was supposed to be up still…
She became a bit scared when this happened.
"What do you want from me?!" But she only heard some whispers that she couldn't understand. She started walking towards the window since that was the only thing she could see.
After a small period of time she realized that she wasn't getting nearer to the window… I t was like she was getting farer away…
"Twilight! Are you in there?!" Heard the unicorn suddenly all the darkness going away. She shook her head and shouted back: "Yes I'm here!" She was very confused of happened to her…
Some days later…
In the Crystal Empire the ship turned out to be totally abandoned, and it only delivered some gadgets and other mechanical stuff. The security system turned out to be not working properly at all!
Nothing special/interesting happened during these days, the harmonics were resting most of the time but were planning to send Scout get some news.
Garvel was currently sitting in the throne chair bored as he was looking at the door waiting for anyone to enter since he was sitting there for at least 2 hours.
He remembered the first time he meet the other harmonics. At first they didn't even knew that they will be fighting evil in this world. He didn't knew why the mercenaries from their world were even on the "good" side while they could have been simply evil… Well, Steve… He must have thought that the first thing he heard had to be the right thing to do because he said that he never met anyone else except villagers who couldn't even speak his language… He sighed since he never wanted to be in the spotlight, he wanted to live a life where he masters the ins and outs of destruction and conjuration magic without a need of using it that many times…
Suddenly the door opened for his surprise. He straightened up and wanted to stand up to meet anyone who was about to enter but then remembered that he was a ruler so he stayed sit.
A little crystal filly who was an earthpony walked inside the room shyly taking small steps as being amazed by the view granted by the room. She got a little frightened when the door closed behind her.
Garvel sighed and shook his head a bit and said: "Come forth, if you will."
The orange transparent furred filly gulped when she noticed Garvel sitting in the throne because he had his cloak on but she walked closer.
Garvel noticed that she had a letter in between her teeth along with a small… thing…
"Tell me how can I help you?"
"Umm… I'm supposed to… uh, deliver this letter to you."
The dark elf was a bit surprised but said: "Please let me see the letter."
The filly hesitated for a bit before running up to Garvel and she placed down the object that was unknown and he looked at the letter.
He immediately noticed that the seal wasn't on the letter. He scowled and looked at the pony. But then he shook his head and started reading the letter a bit disgusted since the letter was in the filly's mouth after all…
"Dear Harmonic Warriors (and Zaveron),
I am writing to you from the Equistrian city of Manehattan. However, I will leave the city once my business has been completed. I have taken a job from Princess Luna, though I am not at liberty to say what I am doing. I can say, however, that it pays well, and I am satisfied with it.
What I can say is that I am having a problem, or rather WILL be having a problem soon. I need ammo, and I have no way of getting it. Engi, will you please find some way of sending me ammo? I cannot convert weapons to ammo, for a reason I do not understand.
Garvel, I have acquired a strange piece of stonework that is supposedly from your land. I have sent it with this letter. Please have a look at it, and tell me what it does.
Oh, and on a further note, if this letter came to you opened, please kill the pony who delivered it. It is kind if important. At the very least, jail him/her so that he/she may not return to his/her boss. Again, very important…"
Garvel looked up at the filly and scowled again but he decided to first finish reading the letter.
"On one last note, as Scout knows, I managed to have access to 6 weapons, and 3 Miscs, at the same time, with 2 of the weapons being linked to different classes. I will explain how to do this... Later. My partner, whom you may meet if I run into you guys before my work for Luna is complete, is now ready to proceed with our... Work... Sorry, still classified. Nothing I can do about that... Sorry.
Your Sniper,
Head Hunter"
Garvel stood up after he finished reading the letter and walked up to the filly silently expecting the worst, maybe even a changeling, so he quietly activated a spell that would create a dagger…
The filly was looking around the room still measuring the room. She looked innocent in Garvel's eyes but he still held the magic orb in his hand behind him.
He ducked next to the filly who suddenly noticed him and squeaked as she backed away some steps in fear.
"My dear, can you see this letter?"
"Y… Yes…" Said the filly scarred to death.
"And before you walked in here, haven't you noticed something strange about it?"
"N… No!"
"Are you sure? Because I think that the letter was open…"
"I… I didn't know!" With that she backed away even more.
Garvel stood up and continued questioning the filly: "Okay, if you weren't the one who opened the letter… Then who?"
The filly looked around the room for any help but couldn't find any.
"Because the seal has just been broken from the letter." With that he walked closer to her with his cloak still on making him scary for the little earthpony.
"I… I…" The filly wanted to back up more but she suddenly hit a wall behind herself and she couldn't escape. But the dark figure just continued walking towards her. She was so horrified that a tear came up in her eye. "Okay I was the one! I opened the letter!" Shouted the filly and she curled into a ball covering her eyes.
Garvel sighed a bit and couldn't help but put on a slight smile for a second while he deactivated the magic.
"Don't worry I'm not going to hurt you."
The filly who was shaking looked up after a few seconds later from behind her hooves, but when she noticed Garvel she still couldn't move from the fear.
But he suddenly took off his cloak slowly showing his face which showed a small smile.
She became a bit calmer.
"My name is Garvel and it's nice to meet you. Who are you?"
After about a minute of silence the filly opened her mouth and said: "I… My… name is… Peach…"
"Peach what?" Asked Garvel thinking that she has to have another name. But it seemed that she didn't wanted to answer. "So Peach, can you please tell me who gave you this letter?"
"I… I got it at the post office, I wanted to help my mom, so I took this letter and decided to…"
"So this means that no one else could have seen this letter, right?"
The filly nodded slowly.
"Okay, thank you for your services." With that he took a bit from one of his pockets and he gave it to her.
She was a bit surprised but she finally warmed up towards him and slowly stood up and walked up to him and took the bit from his hand.
"Well, I hope to see you soon, you can leave now." Said Garvel as he waved bye.
The filly let out a small smile and waved back as she left…
Garvel sighed and walked back to his throne and sat down. After reading the letter once more he took the object which turned out to be a stone. He examined the stone more closely to see what it really is. He was quite surprised when he realized what it was but he decided that he will explaing the sniper later.
He walked out of the throne room to find his mates and tell them about the letter. For his luck they were all in their rooms so he told all of them to come into his room.
After few minutes everyone arrived for the discussion.
"So what's up?" Asked Scout as he laid down on the bed and crossed his legs.
"Nothing very important, but our friend sent us a letter."
"Gimme! I'll read it!" With that Scout took the letter from Garvel before he could even react.
He just rolled his eyes and waited for Scout to start reading the letter but there was silence…
"Scouz, my freund, read it aloud so we can hear." Said Medic
"Yeah, we would appreciate that." Said Engineer too.
"Oh, okay!"
After Scout read the letter most of the resistance just shrugged, but Zanveron was happy to hear his name next to the Harmonics but Bombinomicon and Green Shock were hurt a bit.
"Okay, I can do that!" Said Engineer
"Hah, I already know how to get more miscs, never mind!" Said Scout.
"But we need someone to deliver all this, and our friend didn't even told us where he is exactly going." Said Zanveron.
"Hmmm…. Well we could…"
"I'll do it! I'll be back in a second!" Said Scout.
"But you don't know where you should be going…"
"Psfth! I can figure it out by asking some people, I'm pretty sure he had to sleep somewhere!" Said Scout.
So it was settled, after Scout got ready for the trip and Engineer gave him the ammo and others said him what they want to tell Head Hunter…
A/N: Hello everyone. So the case is that in the last month/2 months I didn't get that much of a chance to write, and when I did I wasn't in the mood of writing so I postponed it more and more and now here we are... I'm sorry that I became very innactive lately but I haven't got any other excuses.
So, about the first part: I have a plan for that character that is haunting Twilight, I know that it may appear a bit strange maybe not that well writen and things like this, but I hope you'll like my idea, also the letter in the second part, is actually from Head Hunter Sniper's story which is by the way a "fan written" story, that I suggest you to read, you just have to search his name.
Thanks for reading!
