//------------------------------// // "Good" day to be a mare // Story: The Adventures End? // by Dragon Shimmer //------------------------------// Sunset is walking on the town happily. Everypony around is greeting her, some of them can't leave an eye for her. When Sunset is humming on the street, the orange unicorn sees Coral is thinking about something. Coral sees the orange mare and finds that she is quite pretty. Then she walks in front of Sunset. Coral Blade asks, "Who are you? I haven't seen you before in this town." "Hello, guard," Sunset answers and lies, "My name is Sunshine. I'm just coming here. Is there any problem?" Coral taps her chin, "Actually yes, there are kidnappers who kidnap the pretty ponies around here. The ponies here have reported it to me and we are investigating. You can be one of their victims, be careful" "I see," Sunset grins, "I will be careful." Coral nods and walks out the street. When she is walking, she finds that the mare is something familiar to her. Sunset continues walking in the town as many stallions are secretly watching her. Sunset is aware of that and she decides to go to the Everfree forest. The stallions follow her to the Everfree forest too. Sunset sighs and thinks, 'Look like I have to act like a victim today.' The stallions are following the orange mare. They are preparing a net, sleeping gas and magic inhibitor ring. Sunset knows that they come here to kidnaps her so she decides to go fishing to make sure that she is vulnerable to be kidnapped. The stallions grin and one of them throws the net to catch her. Sunset is faking the struggling, then the sleeping gas comes to her, making everything in smoke. Sunset uses a spell on her nose to make the gas not knock her out, then she faints, fake. When the smoke is out, the orange mare is fainting. "Look like we got another one," The gray unicorn cheers, "I will get this mare. You two check the wagon to make sure that no one can see it inside.The two stallions nod as the brown one is carrying Sunset to the wagon. Once he gets there, he put Sunset with two other mares inside as he smirks, "Another hunt successful." and he carries the wagon away but he doesn't know that is the last day of his gang. Sunset opens her eyes and sees two other mares are sleeping. Sunset shakes them to wake them up. The mares open their eyes and gasp. When they look around and see Sunset is near them, they are going to scream but Sunset puts her hoof on their mouth to stop them from screaming. The aqua mare asks Sunset, "Where am I? and who are you?" "The name Sunshine," Sunset answers, then she looks at the stallion, "Looks like we have been kidnapped." "Kidnapped," The aqua mare stampers, "To where?" "Don't know, but I promise that I will get you two out." Sunset exclaims, "Trust me." "Right," The aqua mare sighs, "My name is Minuettes," then she points at the light orange mare, "And this is Carrot Top." "Oh..." Sunset points at her, "You must be the one who plants the carrot, right?" "Yes, it's me." Carrot Top sighs, "I remember that when I am planting the carrot. A net is thrown on me, next time I can't remember anything." Sunset nods and looks at Minuettes, "I bet that you got kidnapped by the same way right?" Minuettes nods, "You right. I don't know what will happen to us now. Our hooves are chained and you can't do anything Sunshine," Then she points at her ringed horn, "Not without your horn," Sunset grins, "Let's see about that." The wagon stops as the brown stallion comes and opens the door. "You three come out there. And welcome your new home," Two other stallions lead the mares out of the wagon. Sunset looks around and sees many mares and stallions are caged, some of them even have a lot of bruises, and there are some fillies and colts too. "What are you looking for? There is nothing to see here," The brown stallion demands. "Sorry, just look at this 'beautiful' place," Sunset smiles, "Are we in Las Pegasus?" "You seem more intelligent than I thought, mare." The brown stallion smirks, "Don't worry,... " He puts his forehooves to the orange mare's chin, "I will give you to our boss." "Easy there," Sunset pushes the stallion's away, "I will enjoy this place much." "You will be our slave," The brown stallion warns and glares at Sunset, "And don't think that I will be easy to you, Mrs... eh... What's your name anyway?" "Sunshine," Sunset lies, "Just call me Sunshine," "Sunshine huh," Then the brown stallion puts his mouth near her ear and whispers, "The name Brown Dirt. I will arrange you three in the auction with our boss." Then he turns to other stallions, "Make sure that these mares won't escape until the auction." "Yes, sir." The stallions lead the mares to the cage while Brown Dirt smiles as he knows that orange mare is not usual. He smiles because this place will be destroyed. Brown Dirt goes into a room and sighs. There are many pictures of mares and stallions on his wall, and many newspapers on the ground. Brown Dirt lies on the floor, closing his eyes, and listens to the clock running. As he is relaxing, a green mare comes to his room and hugs him. He pats their mare and kisses her on the cheeks The mare asks, "How long will you bring these guys to the light?" "Soon, Leaf Cutter, soon," He traces his hooves through the mare's mane, "I'm sorry to make you suffer for 2 years. Now we can make these guys pay what they did. I have called Celestia's guards and police nearby." Leaf nods, "So, have you got any plans for the future?" "No, maybe living with you then," Brown answers as the mare hugs her tighter, "You know, today we will get out of here." "How can you be sure about that?" Leaf asks, "Don't tell me you have a plan." "I didn't," Brown lies on the bed, "But that orange mare will do that for us." "Oh... You have eyes on another mare," Leaf lies on his body and pinches him, make him yelp, "I will have no mercy if you do that." "Ouch ouch, of course, I'm not." Brown pushes his marefriend away, "Geez, you are so scary when you do that." "I hope so." A guard comes inside the Brown's room and announces to him, "Sir, our bosses summon you," Brown gets up and nods. Then he follows that guard to the boss room. Sunset and others are led to the prison room by two guards. Looking around, they see many stallions, mares, and even fillies and colts are trapped in here. The orange unicorn looks at those prisoners, some of them are thin enough to see the bones inside. Sunset turns to the guard and asks, "What in this place? Look like some kind of Tartarus." One of the guards smirks, "Don't worry. All of the prisoners are here," Then the guard comes close to the orange mare, "and don't worry, some of the nobles are here to buy you in the auction." Sunset laughs out loud, making all of the room pay attention to her as the guards are confused. "What are you laughing at?" Sunset stops laughing and she starts standing on two back hooves, making the guards point the spear at her, "You know what? I am going to break this prison and release all the prisoners you have captured." The guard laughs at her, "Are you dreaming? Only you can't do anything." Sunset grins, "Did I say there is only me?"The guards are confused. Before the guard can do anything, they go hit by Carrot Top and Minute with the stones. Sunset smirks at the fainted guards, "Idiot." Then she takes the keys and unlocks all of the cuffs for them. "Nice," Carrot Top smiles, "We have to get out of here. I can't stay this for any longer," "Then the chance you got captured back is very high." Sunset retorts, making the mares step back, "What? Do you think the guard will leave you alone?" "Then what will we do? We can't stay here and I want to go home," Minuettes asks the orange mare, "You have a plan right?" "No," Sunset shakes her head and looks at the prisoners, "I don't have a plan. I just make a large prison break, enough to make this base down." Sunset grins and the prisoners keep staring at her with hope inside, "Right, guy." The prisoners cheer at the orange mare as Sunset continues, "Today, this place will down," The boss tosses Brown Dirt the papers about the mares that are going to auction today. Many nobles have come here to buy them as Brown Dirt knows that he will escape tonight. The brown stallion bows to his boss and is going to go outside. When the brown stallion is going to leave, one of his guards is running and breathing heavily. Brown Dirt asks, "What is going on here? Why are you running like that?" The guard says, "Boss, there is a dragon leading the prisoners to break out this base. They are coming here to get you." "What?" The boss slams the table and stands up, "How can a dragon break this prison? Dragon is never helping a pony like this." "But this dragon does," The guard answers, "I don't know how she can get in here but we can't hold them anymore. We must escape before it's too late." The boss nods as he and Brown run out of the building and goes to the train to escape. The train is not so far from the building. As they are just leaving the building, an orange dragon is standing in front of the door alone without any prisoners nearby. She is on fire as the dragon opens her eyes. The dragon asks, "Going somewhere? You will pay for what you did." The boss steps back and stampers, "Who.... Who are you? And how are you coming here?" "Easy," Sunset grins, "I am that orange unicorn that Brown Dirt takes me to here." Everyone looks at Brown Dirt as he is surprised, "You... you trick me into this." The orange dragon swings her pole as a wave of fire goes around them. After that, firewalls are raised to block the group's escape ways, "Nowhere to run, bossy. The train that you are going to escape is captured and all the nobles are arrested." Then she teleports in front of Brown Dirt and pulls him over her, making him fall to the ground, "And you don't have to be a spy like that Brown Dirt." The boss looks at the brown stallion, "What... what? You are a spy? For two years?" "Yes," Brown Dirt stands up and walks beside the dragon, "I am actually a spy from Manehanttan city, I come here to investigating you." Then he looks at the orange dragon, "I am impressed when you can cast spells, dragon." "Sorry for burning your hoof," Sunset grins, "The boss is all yours. I'm done here." Sunset flies upon the sky. The police and guards are coming here as the boss's face is on the ground, admit to defeat. The police arrest the boss and his guard while Truth Seeker is walking to the Brown Dirt as the brown stallion is looking on the sky, " What are you looking at Browny?" "Just watching an orange dragon who just destroys these criminals in one night." Brown Dirt sits on the ground, "I should say thank you to her." "I see... Wait," Truth Seeker looks at Brown Dirt, "Is that the dragon has two metal plates on her horn?" "Why yes. You know her?" "I know her," Truth Seeker nods, "She is the one who helps us to close the pony trafficking case." "Look like I got interested in her." Brown Dirt smiles, "I should investigate her though." "You should, she is in Ponyville's librarian." Truth Seeker sighs, "And Coral Blade is investigating her so you don't have to give a hoof on that." Brown Dirt shakes his head and smiles, the duo goes back to the police as they are arresting all of the nobles and criminals. The prisoners are hugging each other happily, some of them have tears from their eyes because they are free and can come back to normal life. Sunset flies to the library to sighs, the day enjoying being a unicorn is ruined by a spy but she smiles because she can free all of the prisoners inside. When the orange dragon opens the door, Twilight is lying on the sofa tiredly. "Wow, are there any unicorn ghosts here?" Sunset teases the unicorn as she glares at her. "Not funny," Twilight points at the dragon, "And where are you going? You are gone all day." "Just doing some business." Sunset looks outside, "Hope that they are fine. Anyway, you have to deal with something." "Well, Princess Celestia came to our village while the bugs that can multiply themselves were eating anything and destroying the village." Twilight sighs, "Luckily that Princess Celestia did not punish us. In fact, she was enjoying it though." "Told ya," Sunset points at the purple unicorns, "She is really a playful pony." "I don't think so," Twilight retorts, "How much do you know her, Sunny?" Sunset closes the door and walks upstairs, "More than you know, Twily," and she goes to the bathroom to relax. The day is done.
