It was a bright and beautiful day when Canterlot high school student Sunset Shimmer was getting ready to go home for the day when suddenly the blue blur of Rainbow Dash zoomed past her, making her drop her belongings in the process.
"Oh, Sunset, sorry for running into you, I'll try to be more careful next time." Rainbow Dash said as she came back to help Sunset put all her stuff back in her backpack.
"It's ok Rainbow Dash, just try and be a little more careful next time," Sunset said as she got back on her feet. "By the way, why are you going off in such a hurry?" Sunset asked in curiosity.
"Oh, you didn't hear, the ShadowBolts are going to be playing against the WonderColts this week, and I heard both team captains are coming in about 30 minutes to sign autographs, and Crystal Prep and Canterlot High's Principals Cinch and Celestia are going to give some big speech at the Canterlot national park to wish both teams good luck during the games." Rainbow Dash said in absolute excitement.
"Ok, then why are you going to the park right now, it's only like 5 minutes away from where the school is," Sunset said.
"I want to be there so I can have a signed autograph from my idol Spitfire herself, ohhhh that will be so awesome when I hang that up in my living room!" Rainbow said.
"Okkkkk," Sunset said, a little creeped out. "But, since everyone else is coming and I don't really like being cramped in such a huge crowd, could we go to your place and watch it on the news."
"Alright, alright, I guess I'll guess I'll call scootalo to watch it with us too."Rainbow Dash said, with a disappointed look on her face.
On the way to Rainbow Dashe's house, Rainbow stopped Sunset so she could talk to her about something that was on her mind "Oh, I wanted to ask, what do you do every night, I heard last night on the news that not only were two bank robbers beaten to a living pulp by someone they called Daydreamer but some guy at an apartment building was murdered last night, had his head blown up by what the police said was a shotgun."
"Oh, that sounds very odd, we never had any murders in a long time," Sunset told Rainbow Dash. "Did they find the perpetrator?"
"No, but not all I heard, the next part is even weirder," Rainbow said. "They found these 5 people in this abandoned warehouse that all had these grotesque deformities such as Dark purple skin and Big grins on their faces, they said it was like something out of a horror film."
"Oh, well I'm sure that it's just some prank made by that alleyway kids just to scare people, that's all," Sunset assured Rainbow, calming her worries to rest.
When they finally got to Rainbow Dash's place, Sunset went to the living room to wait while Rainbow Dash was preparing nachos to enjoy during the big game speech. Once the nachos were made, and everyone, including Scootalo, was in the living room, Rainbow Dash turned on the tv and the three of them relaxed as the game began.
"Before we start our series of games, We have some words from our kind, honest, and loyal principal, please give applause to Crystal Preps Abacus Cinch!" One of the announcers said as Cinch stepped onto the arena.
"Welcome everyone to these fine games tonight. I just wanted to give out a few words before the start of the games. First of all, I have unfortunately found out that, our team captain Twilight Sparkle, has been missing after she was taken into a chemical plant by unknown assailants." Cinch said, giving the ShadowBolts a condescending look, making them turn their heads down. "But, for the games to continue, I am switching the rank of team captain over to Lightning Dust for the time being until she is found."
"Their Team Captain was taken in a chemical plant, I wonder if this has anything to do with the people at the warehouse." Sunset thought to herself.
"Second, I just wanted to tell all of you that, to achieve victory, you must all work as a team, you must help each other, and (cough, cough) further-more (Cough, Cough, Cough)..." Cinch said before she stopped to clear her throat.
"Ms. Cinch is something wrong, do you need me to take over," Celestia asked Cinch, whose coughing was changing into quiet snickering.
"No no no, I'm fine, heh heh heh, I just got (heh) something in my (heh heh) throat," Cinch said as her snickers then changed into hysterical laughter.
"Ms. Cinch, I think you need to let me..." Celestia said before she saw that Cinch's normal blue skin was slowly turning into a dark purple, and her grin was getting bigger and laughter was getting louder.
"NO, NO, HAHAHAHA, I HAVEN'T BEEN BETTER, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I FEEL SO GOOD, MY WINDPIPE IS BEING CRUSHED FROM THE INSIDE OUT, HAHAHAHAHA, SO FUNNY, HAHAHAHAHAHA Heh...heh....heh!" Cinch screamed in laughter as she finally fell in the arena, stone dead.
Everyone, including Sunset and Rainbow Dash, was shocked in awe at what they had just seen, as paramedics rushed over to the scene. A dark figure appeared from the audience stands and rushed into the arena, followed by five thugs wearing purple tuxedos, four carrying machine guns telling everyone to put their attention to the Girl up front, and one taking one of the news cameras and pointing it towards their boss.
"Helllooo everyone, sorry for interrupting this very special occasion tonight, but, after I went shopping for this awesome costume and then killed the shopkeep, it was either I come here and poison a principal who looks happy by the way, love that big smile, or I blow up an orphanage full of defenseless children that were 10 blocks away, and unfortunately, your school was on the chopping block, so I'll say, HELLO, GOODBYE, YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA," The mysterious girl said, as she laughed maniacally. "Sorry, it's just that I'm so funny, I just kill me."
"But, let's all get down to business, I bet that all of you sports fans and tv watchers at home are thinking, "Ohh, This crazy lady just killed a principle tonight, I bet there's nothing worse this lunatic can do tonight, right." She said, in a sarcastic tone of voice. "Well, tough luck chuck, because you're all dead wrong, I've got a lot more shenanigans in store for all of you tonight. Let's see, what to do, what to do? OHHH, I know, let's have a little fun tonight."
"Indigo Zap, I hear the hand of fate pointing at you tonight," She said in a sinister tone of voice. "Now if I was looking at a crystal ball, I'd say your future is dim, and that the evil spirits of goofiness will come and get you when the clock strikes twelve...Ohh, what the heck I'll just say it to you. Indigo Zap, you will die at precisely midnight. So, let's all sit down in our comfy sofas, get some snacks, and enjoy a cruel laugh at her expense." She said as she raised a revolver and pointed it at the camera.
"BANG!" She said as a white flag came out of the revolver that had the word bang on it.
"Ohh, my word. What is this, you just can't trust old ammunition these day's, so luckily, for me, I have a backup weapon, looks like I'm riding "Shotgun" tonight," She said, as she raised the Double-Barreled shotgun, laughed maniacally, and shot at the camera, leaving Sunset and Rainbow's tv screen at static.
"Ummm, ok, Sunset, one thing...CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT JUST HAPPENED!" Rainbow Dash said in absolute distress.
"I DON'T KNOW, RAINBOW, just calm down, and let's think about the situation," Sunset said, finally calming Rainbow down.
"Look Sunset, I know that Indigo Zap is on the opposing team, but she's still a human being, and I'm going to go see to it that Indigo makes it through the night," Rainbow said, sounding like some kind of sci-fi hero. "You coming with me Sunset?"
"Oh, sorry, I have something I need to do, don't worry, I'll meet you later when you're with Indigo," Sunset said.
"Ok, I guess I'll see you later," Rainbow said as Sunset left her house.
Once she was away from anyone listening, Sunset went into an alleyway and thought, maybe Sunset Shimmer can't solve this, but maybe Daydreamer can." Sunset said as she hurried towards her house.
