Celestia's take on Hackalot's death
We at EQI feel that it is our duty to know what the friends and family members are saying about Hackalot's death. Joining us now via Skype is Princess Celestia.
"Good evening my faithful subjects. It is a sad day in Equestria" Celestia said with a saddened tone. "Tonight we remember the stallion that once was, is, and always will be, Hackalot Spark". "My sister Luna and I knew him very well, Luna more than I considering she went to his house more often than I did, but that's beside the point." "I am very concerned about who the assailant is and will not rest until this "sangre azul" character is brought to justice and sent to the moon at once without due process" "Until that day my faithful subjects, we shall continue to remember what Hackalot has done for the Ponyville community, and for Equestria."
Celestia has confirmed that she will be at the viewing, and funeral for Hackalot Spark in 3 weeks. Until then, there will be a vigil at the Sparkade in all locations until next Friday, please find the opportunity to make your way to any of the Sparkade locations to pay your respects. Thanks for watching this special edition of the Equestria Inquirer, I'm Joe Stevens and until next time Good Night, and Good Buck.
Note to the Reader: You will now read this video in the First Person POV as Shining Armor as he is questioning Zecora for supplying "sangre azul" with the poison to kill Hackalot.
Meanwhile at the EverFree Forest
"Admit it Zecora, we know it was you who supplied "sangre azul" with the poison that killed Hackalot. ADMIT IT" Shining Armor shouted. "You're accusing me? Your wife must be driving you crazy, I told you before my memory is a bit hazy" Zecora said in her defense. "Don't give me that rhyming bullshit. You know as well as I do that you are the potions mistress here and the opposite of potions, is poison. I know it and you know it. Now spill it, did you or did you not give "sangre azul" the poison that killed Hackalot" Shining Armor said looking Zecora dead in the eye. "You looked in my diary and you went right through it, and it perfectly shows that I didn't do it" Zecora said looking back at Shining Armor.
"Alright she's not wanting to talk. I guess we'll have to keep on investigating. But just know this Zecora, if we find out that you're lying to us...Celestia will send you to the moon so fast that by the time you get there, you'll have a whole book of rhymes to say. Let's go guys, we got a brother to avenge" Shining Armor said as he and his men left Zecora's hut.
Out of First Person
When Zecora closed the door she opened her closet revealing Hackalot's dead body. Attached was a note that said "Bring him back to life and I will reward you handsomely. Sincerely, Luna". Zecora didn't expect this, she thought that Hackalot's body would be at the funeral home by now getting embalmed, but thanks to a certain moon alicorn and a foolproof plan, the body was in the hands of Zecora. What she would do with it...was up to her.
Note to Reader: You're now watching another episode of the Equestria Inquirer special edition
Shining Armor's take on Hackalot's death
We at EQI pride ourselves by talking with those who have been affected by recent events, Hackalot's death is no exception. Joining us now is none other than head of the Royal Guard, Shining Armor via Skype.
"Hey EQI. So I talk into this thing right? Cool! So about the whole Murder case, I think we may have some more leads, we found out that the poison was actually not made in Ponyville, but in Canterlot! How odd is that? We had checked some of the stores and found no evidence as to who the seller of the poison truly is, however we are on the case and we will have a culprit. As far as Hack's concerned...I'm gonna miss him! He was my best friend, a mentor, and he was a great running back for the Canterlot Cavaliers! He may be gone, but he will never be forgotten"
Thanks Shining Armor for your insight into this. Mares and Gentlecolts I have received word that in Hackalot Spark's will he had put down that 10% of his net-worth would go toward the land of Equestria as far as funding for things is concerned. He also mentioned that 5% of his earnings would go toward the Equestria Inquirer because he loves us so. He's a big fan you know...anyway that concludes another special edition of the Equestria Inquirer and as always, Good Night, and Good Buck.
Note to Reader: SURPRISE! A side event that happens between our assailant and our little "poison dealer" POV: Narrative.
Meanwhile in the Canterlot Caverns
It was a dark night in the Canterlot Caverns, but that didn't stop one man from making a deal with a dealer. The assailant made his way to the caverns knowing that he was supposed to meet somepony there to strike a deal. "So it's done. Hackalot's dead and you got what you wanted. Now where's my money" the dealer asked. "I got it right here" he said while holding a sack filled with bits, around 250 of them. "Excellent, now remember don't squeal me out...or else you'll suffer the same fate" the dealer said looking him dead in the eye. "Me? I would never tell a soul! Honest to Celestia I would never tell anypony who you are" the assailant said. "Good, then we got a deal. Don't squeal me out, and I won't squeal you out" the dealer said. They shook hands and left the Canterlot Caverns running back to their homes.
Since I'm closing my account on January 17th I want everypony to know what happened in the story...
At the funeral Prince Blueblood was shouting insults to Hackalot's coffin, not aware however that Hackalot wasn't in the coffin, as they would later find out...instead Hackalot would be walking behind everypony as shock them all with his...wait for it...resurrection. Luna later paid Zecora in 5000 bits AND Blueblood was later found guilty for Murder as well as his accomplice. Both were sent to the moon and in the end Hackalot got engaged and then later married to a certain...Lunar Pony ;). Why? Because A. She's a beautiful mare, B. She wanted me to come back from the dead, and C. Buck You that's why!
