TMMDW:The Mysterious Mare do Well

Episode 3: The little bang

So you may be asking, now what? Well the answer to that is; I'm going to Canterlot. Simply put, I don't want to steal Rainbow's thunder, plus there's bound to be more crimes in Canterlot than Ponyville. In my admittedly short time in Ponyville, the Canterlot noble's didn't even bat an eye. But now that I'll be operating right below the princesses noses, I doubt it'd be hard to notice.

Also I recently found out that The Well has an elevator that goes right into Canterlot's clock tower. That's pretty useful!

So with nothing better to do, time to go batmaning around Canterlot.


[Third person pov.]

Mare do Well watched over the city from the clock tower, ready to stop any crime or disaster in Canterlot.

Just on cue there was a sudden loud boom that was heard throughout the whole city. In a matter of seconds Mare do Well leapt off the clock tower and glided down towards where the sound resignated from.

MDW ended up at a wall, but not just any wall, this was Canterlot's outer wall. The one that wrapped around the entire city. Just by looking at it, anypony could tell that it was going to fall. And even worse was that, it was going to fall inwards, taking some of Canterlot with it.

MDW quickly hopped to action, there was no way she'd be able to stop the wall from falling over, but she could at least save the ponies in the vicinity.

Quickly going to each house MDW told the ponies to evacuate away from the wall. Some were more 'difficult' than others, but after a few less than friendly words from MDW they would no longer argue. MDW got everypony out of the area and as expected the wall came crashing down. That was until Celestia flew into sight and used her magic to halt the rubble and lay it into a pile.. Ponies simply looked up in awe, while MDW decided to disappear.


[First person pov.]

Believe me when I say this, I was just as surprised as you. Celestia? Doing something?! Holy cheese and crackers! Though after a bit of thought, it makes sense. Celestia wouldn't just let half of Canterlot be destroyed.

Also I had no doubt that because of me getting ponies out of the danger area; word of a costumed vigilante would spread like a wildfire. That was fine though. I just hoped that Celestia was gonna be reasonable about it. I'll be honest though, I wanted to be hidden for at least three more days, but I guess the world just doesn't like me. Why three more days? I dunno, seemed like a good amount of time.

But... Something was bothering me about the wall situation. Why did it suddenly crumble and what was that 'boom' sound? I knew that with a wall that size, maintenance would be mandatory. So if it was by natural wear-and-tear, Celestia would no doubt see it coming. But that means it could only be foul play. That leads to the the question of who'd want to break the wall, but let's not get ahead of ourselves, I decided to anylize the crime scene and see if my theory was correct.


So I travel back to a building adjacent of the wall. The broken part of the wall now had police tape blocking it off and a couple guards. I drop down behind the guards, then smack their heads together, incapacitating them. Celestia really needs some better guards. I go past the police tape.

Now it was time to look for clues. The first thing out of place that I immediately noticed was a feather. It wasn't Celestia's or the guards, because they were white. This feather was a dark green. So already I know that a Pegasus is, or could be involved. I put the feather in my utility belt, yes I have one, then continued searching.

Seeing as there was nothing visible to the naked eye, I decided to use a material detector spell to see if there was anything that it could sense. It took only three seconds to pick up traces of an explosion. seemingly not a large one though. It was just big enough to make the wall fall under it's own weight.

The explosive seemed to have been placed inside of the wall. The strange thing is that you'd need a spark spell to ignite the bomb since it was, y'know, inside the wall. Don't even get me started on the fact that the perpetrator would have to know a replacement spell. Not to mention I found a feather!.. But then a thought came to me. What if multiple ponies were involved!? And that's if the green Pegasus had a part in this.

Seeing as I couldn't find anymore clues, I decided to head back to The Well.


So once I got back I tell the computer to anylize the feather and see who it belongs to, I also ask it to search for any demolition experts in Canterlot.

"It will take a day at most." The computer responded.

"Well then I'm havin' a nap." I declared as I walked to my bedroom. If I was gonna have to fight soon, then I wanted to be well rested.
