SCOOP



TENEBRIS IS BACK


written by Tabloid

Originally I was going to write my name in a higher size, as my boss Paper Pile always wants to, but I feel this is not some kind of news where I can promote my figure. Serious journalism and scoops, in my times, weren't about the name, but the news.

This is not a joke. This is serious, this is a fact. Princess Celestia has just confirmed that Tenebris, the evil night ram which still resonates in my throat, in my sweat, in my bones, has returned. How? We still don't know. Nothing about how did he escape has been confirmed by the princesses, but we already know Tenebris' disappearance from Tartarus is real and it's happening. I repeat, THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

However, Tenebris was not the only one who managed to escape from there: Luna has confirmed Lord Tirek, the menacing filly Cozy Glow and, interestingly, the recently jailed robber Stone Chisel, whose partner Stolen Bag is still out there, maybe wondering how in the hell did his partner get on with these big villains with names, have also escaped with him and formed an alliance with former changeling queen Chrysalis and there are no confirmed facts to know why... maybe to dominate Equestria one more time.

I've got to say (and admit) there is a thing here. Almost all of the villains and evil-doers Twilight Sparkle, Mi Amore Cadenza and even Celestia and Luna have defeated, were all alone at the time they lost, and the legend which says Discord and Grogar left Tenebris and his community of now-extinct Night Rams a la deriva when they were defeated, only proves my point. This kind of alliance only worsens things and makes everything different... will this procrastinate the rumours of retirement from our princesses? I hope so... because I assure you they, along with the Elements of Harmony and the remaining communities' warriors, are the only ones who can protect us from them. And if they can't...


... nobody can.


Please, stay safe, cautious and be quiet. In case you see something suspicious don't hesitate and call the local police, sheriff and also the Kingdom's brand new numbers, which will be revealed night in all of the newspapers of Equestria, including on the back of this scoop. 

Thank you for reading, and please, take care of yourselves. Thanks.

Ink Pot's notes:

Tabloid's scoop has just been released an hour ago, and everything is coming out of the pit. A sharp increase in the percentage of ponies who want the End Punishment back, which was actually cancelled and forbidden by orders of Princesses Celestia and Luna thousands of years ago. (Write something about this. Tomorrow?)

End Punishment, better known as Execution Punishment or the Fusillade, has been requested by Canterlot, Manehattan, Fillydelphia, Vanhoover and Cloudsdale to be the punishment for Tenebris and his allies. A percentage has shown more than 80% of Canterlotians want the fusillade back and only once... only this time.

"We want it back because Tenebris can't be stopped so easily," said a demonstrator, out in the streets of Manehattan. "The Princesses' decision of locking up the ram in Tartarus was a bad one... and we need to let them know! We don't want that murderer, that genocidal beast alive and among us! We want to be free!"

On the other hand, due to Stone Chisel's mention on Tabloid's scoop as an ally of Tenebris, a protest has just begun in Manehattan, in front of the main building of Shiny Picks Gem Company, whose owners are Stone Chisel's parents, which may be involved (although not confirmed. Jeez, Tabloid! You've got to spit facts!) in the infamous Surigate that now every equestrian knows about. I've seen the protestants and they shout in the unison: "STONE CHISEL BROUGHT US DOWN, THE PICKS MADE US CRY...."

Tabloid's article, Gems on Fire, was released on this afternoon's gazette, along with his other article A Chiselled Cage and that only has worsened things.

Gosh, Tabloid.

Where are we?
