Author's Note: Hello everyone! Glad you stuck with the story! Please understand that some chapters may come later because I am in school with crap tons of homework as well as work so please bear with me. Also we have a new character to this big 'ole mash up.
I present to you; Night Stalker, who comes from a Lord Guffington. Other than that, thank you and enjoy!
Crap this guy was heavy…I kept trying to renew my grip on his shadowbolt outfit but he wouldn't hold still. Oh Lawd Jesus give me the strength to not bi**h slap the holy sh** out of him. He kept thrashing and shouting "Let me go will yah!" and "I'll whoop yer a**". The mouth on this guy I tell ya what. Finally we arrived at this little sheriff's station or guard station in town (which I had no idea they even had one). Outside stood one of Celestia's royal guards and one of Luna's. Whoa, are they working together? I guess so, whatever.
"Halt, what business do you have here?" The gold armored stallion asked as they both blocked our path with spears.
"We have a suspected um…evil…doer that we'd like to question." I said kind of shrugging. What else should I say? The guards looked to each other questioning my motives until the purple armored colt spoke up.
"You may proceed." He said as they brought their spears back to an upright position.
"Thank you kindly gentlemen." I said, tipping my invisible hat, almost losing my grip on Lightning. He gave up a long time ago though, but he's planning something. I dragged him inside as Rainbow said she had to go deal with the others or something like that. I lugged him to a room that looked like your stereotypical crime investigator interrogation room with the window that you can only see into the room but inside the room you see a mirror. Just then another one of Luna's guard came out almost if he was expecting me. This guard though looked like he was ready for anything; his armor looked a little heavier than normal guard's armor. With soft brown eyes, he looked just a bit smaller than Big Mac with large wings (most likely to support his weight). He had a charcoal coat with a blood red mane and tail.
"What do we have here?" The dark pegasus asked, looking between Lightning and I.
"Well, I've got somepony with information that I would like to know." I replied. With that he looked straight at me.
"So who gets to be good cop and who gets to be bad cop?" He asked smirking.
"Haha, which ever you'd prefer." I said. He took Lightning away into the room and cuffed him to the table. Though, the cuffs looked like they could be slipped off easily lightning never tried to. The guard removed Lightning's hood the left his mane to fall into his face. I thought that they could put their hair through the top of their suit? I guess he didn't want to to keep his identity hidden? Maybe he was trying to hide his yellow mane. I don't why because it actually looked pretty sweet with a green lightning design going through the middle. With a red coat, I wonder how he became a shadowbolt because I mean damn he was colorful. I mean there's nothing wrong with that! I'm just saying!
Lightning bent down so he could push the hair out of his face and sat back into an upright position as the guard came out and shut the door behind him.
"Before we go any further-" he started as he turned to me extending a hoof to me.
"I'm Night Stalker." He said, introducing himself. I did what anyone or any pony would do when a hoof is extended towards you. I shook Night's hoof.
"Pleasure to meet you, I'm Scotty." I replied. With that he simply nodded and looked into the room.
"Alright, who's first?" he asked.
'I already asked him a few questions before we got here so how bout you give it a try. His name is Lightning Thrash, a pegasus that is a member of the Shadowbolts. His right wing is broken so either be careful of that or use it to your advantage." I said, filling him in on everything that I knew so far. Night nodded again and walked back into the room with the calmest expression ever. He started to talk and Lightning replied. This went on for a good few minutes that felt like hours. Sometimes it would get a little heated and Lightning never answered clamly, even though I couldn't hear any of them I knew from the strain on Lightning's neck that he wasn't talking calmly but more like shouting. Can this fella at least try to just talk? Jeez. I could see that Night would always try to cool him down and reassure Lightning that there was no need for such volume. This made Lightning sit back and huff, shutting him up permanently. Night walked out and over to me, again shutting the door behind him.
"Well that was eventful." He said flatly.
"What did you get out of him?" I asked.
"Well, he said he wasn't involved with the party incident and had no idea of the mysterious figures that were there, but he has noticed that there were a few new faces among his little group." He said.
"The Shadowbolts you mean?" I asked.
"Yea, them." He replied. "He says he has never seen their faces before but he welcomed them like any other group member. Do you know what happened at that party?" He asked.
"Yea. Sadly I do, that party was for me. It was my welcoming party but it wasn't much of a party." I said.
"I'll say." He replied. "Sorry that happened to you."
"It's not that, I just feel bad about those that lost loved ones." I said, coughing to clear up any sign that I was tearing up. Hey, this was pretty serious for me; I now know what it's like to lose a loved one. Try possibly losing everyone. No, I must avenge them. I. Must.
I finally pulled myself together and headed into the room.
"Howdy there partner." I said, mocking a little bit and he just replied with another huff.
"Alright sorry, that was out of line. I just want to know what the heck is going on here. What with the party, the new faces you're seeing in your group. I'm looking for answers. I'm looking for a way to get those shady characters out of Equestria." I said.
"Look, ah have no idea who yer talkin bout. Ah ain't even seen these characters ya speak of." He replied.
"Well what of the newbies in your group? Have they said where they came from?" I asked
"Nope, fellas hardly speak a word. I reckon that's a good thing. They are given an order and they do 'em, no questions asked, just a simple yes ma'am or sir and they're off." He said.
"Is there anything else strange about them?" I proceeded to ask.
"Not that I can think of. Now it's mah turn to be askin questions. These characters you're rambling on about. Who are they?" He asked.
"Well, I don't really know. (I actually don't I just have a very strong guess). All I know is that they are no good. Worse than you Shadowbolts." I replied.
"Worse than us? Ha! That's a hoot, there's no one worse than us! We are feared all over Equestria, people tremble at our name. When a stormy cloud floats by y'all better be hopin it's not following one of us." He said with a smirk.
"Oh! Oh I'm shaking, so scared!" I said, choking on the sarcasm.
"Oh hardy f***kin har, y'all don't have to be rude about it." He replied.
"You know what, we're getting off topic. Just please tell me all you know about the situation we're in." I said. Sitting down, fed up.
"We? What ya think we're a team or somethin? Listen, we are not friends here. I hope those, whoever the heck they are take all y'all out. Even them damned Wonderbolts!" He yelled with a sneer. That's it; I'm not getting anything else from him. Maybe Night can give it a try.
I walked back out of the room rubbing my head.
"Ugh, he's such a headache." I said.
"You're telling me." Night said as he trotted back into the room. I watched through the mirror but there wasn't much to see. Just Night trying to talk to Lightning but Mr. Thrash was done. Not a word escaped his lips. Night was approaching the door so I thought I'd be nice and get the door for him. It seems the door got me; it smacked me square in the face. The only thing I heard was hooves sprinting down the hall. I shook it off and looked into the room to see Night knocked out cold and turned to see Lightning bolting (ha, pun) down the hallway. I immediately started sprinting after him. Thankfully the door that leads outside was closed which slowed Lightning down just enough so I could tackle him.
I stood up a little, keeping my knee on his neck.
"Move and I snap it." I said, quite pissed off.
"Alright alright!" He shouted. "Just get yer fat a** off me!" He demanded.
"Make me run after you again and I'll break the other wing too. I am done with your sh**. I have tried to help you, to be reasonable with you, but you keep pushing it. I was going to try to get your wing fixed and get you back to your friends after the questions, but that little stunt just now most likely ruined those chances. Now behave and I still might help you." I said. I wasn't furious I was just done basically. What with barely any sleep and no food for what like two days? That kind of stuff gets to ya. Thrash just grumbled.
"I don't want to be your enemy; maybe I was looking to be your friend or at least an associate." I said. "I'm just trying to figure what the hell is going on, if I can stop it, and how. Ok?" Thrash let out yet another grumble that sounded like "yea whatever."
"Ok?!" I shouted.
"Fine! Just get off of me!" He shouted back.
"No, not until a guard comes by. You're not going anywhere and I'm going to make sure of that." I replied.
As I kept Thrash pinned down my mind began to wonder. These new faces he spoke of, did they come from the same place as Molestia, Pinkamena, and all the others? Where did they come from? Are there more universes of My Little Pony? If so, which one am I in? Is there a tear in the space-time continuum?! Did I ever remember to turn the stove off?!
There are so many questions to be answered! Though, to be honest, I'm kind of scared to go search for them. No, I have to.
