Episode 4: An "explosive" night

So after a good night's sleep, I got up and went to the computer to see what information it gathered.

"Computer, what'ya got?" I asked, grogginess still sluring my words..

"The feather belongs to a pegasus named Airhead." The computer responded. "Are sure you don't need more rest?" It asked me, seemingly concerned.

"I'm fine 'mom'." I say with a chuckle and rolling my eyes. "Did you find any demolition experts?" I asked, back to being serious.Ish.

"Yes, in fact, only one. His name is Big Boom, a unicorn convicted of several explosion related crimes. Goes by the alias Tick-Tock." The computer explained. "He is most known in Vanhoover, where he blew up a school... It was a school day. There were over a hundred deaths and there were even more injured" The computer showed the reords on-screen as it told me.

"...So we have two leads. Where does Airhead live?" I didn't want to think about children dying.

"Downtown near west street." The computer also seemed to not want to speak about it.

"Thanks." I said simply. And with that, I had a quick, if somewhat depressing breakfast, then costumed up and headed out.


It didn't take long to get to my destination and now I was looking right at Airhead's house. Unluckily for him, he lives in the slums, so his 'house' is more-so an apartment. Anyway a quick bound and I'm in. He should really have closed his windows.

The place was a complete mess. pizza everywhere. Chinese food and unclean carpets... Nevertheless I ventured forth. Eventually I came into the living room, if you could even call it that. In the middle, on a chair and surrounded by beer, sat a sleeping green Pegasus, Airhead.

I lifted an empty bottle of beer in my magic, then dropped it to the floor, shattering the glass and waking Airhead. He awoke with a start and quickly found his eyes on me. "Who are you and how'd ya get in here!?" He asked angrily, getting out of his chair.

"I'm somepony who you don't want to mess with. Not unless you want to lose a wing." I warned. Luckily my mask had a voice modifier, that way I can hide my true identity. It also sounds pretty threatening.

He didn't seem to think so, because he let out a hardy laugh. "Oh really? Y'see, I don't take likely to pitiful threats." He mocked as he got into a fighting stance.

"That wasn't a threat, it was a warning. I know you were involved with the explosion at Canterlot's outer wall. Tell me where to find the rest of your friends and maybe I won't break too many bones." I bluffed about knowing, hoping I was right I got in a similar stance.

"Like Tartarus I'd tell'ya!" He yelled, then charged at me. I simply spun on my forehooves and bucked him in the face, knocking him into the chair and dizzying him. I tackled him onto the ground, breaking the chair in the process, then held my foreleg to his throat.

"Tell me, or you'll be eating out of a straw." I warned, putting more pressure on his throat.

"I-i'll talk I swear!" He panicked. "Y'see, w-we were plannin' to blow up the castles left wing! We were gonna meet at the garden tomorrow at 10:00 p.m! P-please jus' don't hurt me!" He pleaded, it was actually quite funny.

"Thanks for the info." I then knocked him out cold by thrusting my right forehoof at the side of his head.

After that I had the computer send an anonymous note to the police, telling them that one of the ponies responsible for the outer wall explosion was apprehended. If you're wondering how I told the computer to do that, then it's simple. Technology exists in Equestria, but normal ponies aren't that advanced. My computer on the other hoof, does. I basically have an earpiece, comunication device.

Anyway now I had a time and place, I just had to be patient. Eventually the time to stage the steak out was at hoof. I quickly made my way to the castle garden and waited. Soon enough, a group of three ponies arrived, all masked.

"Hey, where's Airhead?" One of them asked looking around himself.

"Pfftt who cares? We don't need him anyway. We still get to blow something up!" Another said excitedly.

"No you don't." I said from atop a tree branch. They all turned their heads to me with wide eyes, except for the excited one, he still looked crazed, even with a mask on.

"W-what?! How'd we get found out?!" Asked a very skinny one.

"What does it matter?! We can't have any witnesses!" The hyper one said, sounding a little too happy, then threw a bomb at me. Needless to say, I was caught off guard. Luckily it only hit the tree branch that I was standing on. The downside was that it hit the branch that I was standing on, sending me falling into a bush.

One of the thugs stupidly went to investigate, whom of which I pull into the bush and knocked out. I teleport behind the other unarmed thug and silently strangled him to sleep. I was about to do the same to the one with bombs, but he turned around just then and the second he saw me, he threw a bomb at our hooves, knocking both of us back.

I got back up only to see two more bombs being hurled at me. I caught them in my magic, then threw them into the air, where they safely exploded. I charged at the stallion, dodging a few more bombs while doing so. Once I got to him I delivered a hard uppercut to his jaw. I followed that up with a left hook, then a gut punch sending him to the floor and knocking him out.

I got the knocked out criminals into a pile, then with the help of my magic, tied them up. I informed the police, then headed back to The Well to get some 'Well' deserved rest. I hate explosions.
