The Adventures End?

by Dragon Shimmer


Mercenary trouble.

Yesterday was just a headache for Sunset because she had to deal with the racist and the fillies. For her, the racist is easier to deal with than the fillies. Lucky that the racist won't come back again, the orange dragon sighs in relief as she wakes up and doesn't see the purple duo. Walking downstairs and taking the newspaper, she sees Rarity has succeeded in the fashion show. Sunset flips another page and sees Flora is taking the main character in a play.

A knock on the door as Sunset opens it. The dragon sees Swift Blue is glaring at her. Sunset tilts her head as she is confused. "Can I help you?" Sunset asks as the blue pegasus points the spear at her, "Hey, hey. Don't need to do that."

Swift Blue puts the spear down and announces to the dragon, "Dragon, you are summoned because you have been suspected of threatening a stallion by cutting the horn."

"Why am I hearing so familiar?" Sunset rubs her head. "Is that the brown unicorn?"

How did you know?" Swift Blue's eyes widen, "I didn't tell it in detail."

"Because the only one I cut the horn is the one who burns the school." Sunset answers while Blue Swift grasps, "Oh you don't know? You can ask Cherrilee and the kids, they can be my witnesses."

"I... see," Swift Blue rubs his chin, "I will go to school to ask. You don't have to come with me."

"See ya." Sunset waves her claw as Swift Blue goes away. She returns to check her money but it is empty, "ah hush, I'm out of the money. Maybe I will ask Twilight and Spike to borrow some." Sunset thinks for a while then shakes her head. She closes the door and goes to the Town Hall to see if anything can help.

When Sunset walks on the street, she sees a group of three ponies is watching her. Feeling suspect, she decides to keep walking to see if the group follows her or not. As the orange dragon expects, the group is following her. Sunset changes the direction to walk toward the Everfree forest. When she walks inside the forest, Sunset stops and pulls out the staff, make the group step back

"You can come out now," Sunset looks at the sky without turning, "I know you are following me." The group decides to take out the hood as Sunset turns to look at them, "Oh I thought you are all ponies, I never thought there are two griffins in here."

"You are right, dragon," the black griffin says as they all aim the crossbow to Sunset, " And you will my easy target,"

"Before you shoot," Sunset asks, "Can I ask who hired you to do this?"

"You nearly die anyway so I will tell you." The black griffin answers, "It's our boss named White Rich who hired us. Now die,"

All of them shoot arrows at Sunset. Sunset catches all of the arrows easily, making the group step back. The black griffin takes out the blade but his claw is shaking. Sunset breaks the arrows, "Don't tell me that you are not ready to go to the grave, but to go to kill someone." Sunset's sentence makes the group step back. The orange dragon teleports near the griffin then kicks him in the stomach. The griffin is slammed directly to the nearby tree and coughs some blood

The griffin stands up, "You...You are not a normal dragon."

Sunset burns herself then creates some fireballs, making it float in the sky. "Tell you one thing. If you want to kill someone, you have to prepare to be killed," Then she rushes at the group.


Coral is enjoying her coffee on the deck. Today is a free day for her because there is no case today. She turns on the radio to enjoy her favorite music channel. Suddenly, an explosion comes from the Everfree forest, making ponies in the town panic. Swift Blue rushes into Coral's room and breathes hard.

Swift Blue looks at his captain, "Captain Coral Blade, there is an explosion coming from the Everfree forest. I don't know who caused this."

Coral sighs, "Oh right. But I know who caused this explosion." Coral Blade stands up, "Well, call the hospital, we will need it." Swift Blue nods and he runs out of the room while Coral stands up and takes the weapon. She sighs, "Well, a free day is gone. Thanks to you, orange dragon. Oh wait, I have to give you this." Coral takes a bag of bits and go out the room


Sunset is sitting on the stone and looks at the sky. Beside her is the group, all of them are tied up by vine, the one Sunset takes out from the forest. Sunset looks at them with angry eyes, while all of them are terrified, they don't know this dragon has magic.

Sunset asks, "then tells me about this White Rich."

"Please," The stallion begs, "We don't know anything."

Sunset sighs, "Oh right." The orange dragon takes out the feather, "You are tied up in the vine that has spikes. I will tickle you to let the spikes rub your body and give you more pain," Then she put the feather near his back hoof, making the stallion breathe harder than before. Sunset grins, "now talk or I will..."

"Okay, I will talk, I will talk," The stallion yells, " Please don't hurt me," Sunset smirks and she sits on the stump as the stallion starts to tell everything, "He just hired úd to kill the dragon because he really hates dragons. He wants all of the dragons not to be in Equestria anymore."

"I see." Sunset stands up and sees the royal guard is coming here. "Look like the guard came here. See you in jail." Sunset flaps the wings to fly away but a harpoon flies toward the dragon, making her have to catch. She turns around and sees Coral Blade is glaring at her. Sunset sighs and lands near the captain, "Nice throw Captain Coral Blade, do you want to assassinate me or something?"

Coral looks at her and points at the tied-up group, "Then may you explain this?" Sunset explains everything about these murderers, the noble named White Rich, the battle. Coral nods, "I see. I agree that White Rich hates dragons but like this is an outrage." Coral Blade pats the orange dragon, "I don't know. But this time you have to be careful."

"Looks like we have to find the evidence to solve this problem huh?" Sunset sighs, "I don't know though."

"Well, just take a rest," Coral gives the dragon the big bag of bits, "Here are your rewards from two cases. That's 1500 bits."

"Thank you." Sunset takes the bit, "You save me this time."

"Your welcome."

Sunset flaps her wings and flies back to the library. This thing is not good for her right now.


Sunset flies up to the sky, she sees the clouds are quite a lot today. The orange dragon doesn't care as she heads to the library but a flash is passing her y. Turning around, the orange dragon sees Rainbow Dash is flying with her and waves her front hoof. Sunset sighs and flies down to the library. When she just comes down to the library, Spike is on the way to the library with a book. Sunset lands next to him, making the purple dragon jump forward, and look back at the orange dragon.

"Sunset," Spike gets up, "Don't scare me like that."

"Sorry," Sunset points at the book, "And what is that book?"

"Oh, this is for Twilight, she told me to buy that book, and she borrowed my money." Spike points at the bag, "And what is that bag?"

"Just some bits," Sunset rolls her eyes, "About 1500 bits."

"That's a lot." Spike comments, "Where did you get that?"

"Just some reward for two cases that I have solved before." Sunset points at the door, "I don't know they put a reward. Let's go inside and I will talk about it later.

Spike nods and the duo goes inside. The door slams hard as the dragon duo only sees Pinkie Pie is sitting on the sofa and waves her hoof cheerfully. Sunset looks around and doesn't see the purple unicorn anywhere.

Sunset asks, "Hey Pinkie Pie, where's Twilight?"Pinkie points at the door as Spike goes to the door, he sees the purple unicorn is sticking on the wall, "Since when do we have a unicorn sticker?"

"Not funny," Twilight gets off the wall, "I don't understand, how can she do it?"

"Pinkie Sense is not the one you should research, Twilight," Spike gives her advice, "I believe that 'magic' makes no sense too."

"Well, it's just her sixth sense is too strong," Sunset explains while sitting next to the pink pony and hugging her, making Pinkie Pie feel good. Twilight looks at her as the orange dragon continues, "Just think her sixth sense affects her body. That's all."

"No, it does not explain everything," Twilight drags Pinkie to the door, "You come with me Pinkie." Pinkie Pie is so happy when being dragged. Sunset sighs and takes out the pony anatomy book to read it.

Spike feels weird about this. "Why are you reading the pony anatomy book? Is that necessary?"

"Yeah, I don't like to hurt two of you when teaching the magic theory," Sunset flips another page, "In fact, I want to see if my theory can do with earth pony and pegasus."

"You mean earth pony and pegasus can do magic too?" Spike surprised, "That will be the best. Rainbow Dash will be so happy about this."

"And Rainbow Dash can't learn it," Sunset looks at Spike, "Because learning magic requires patience. You know Rainbow Dash doesn't have it right."

"You got the point," Spike looks at his claw and sees the book, "Aw man, I forgot to give the book to Twilight"

Sunset stands up and she and Spike go to the basement to see Twilight. The door slams hard as they don't see the purple unicorn, they see the pink pony is bouncing out of the basement. Feeling weird, Sunset closes the door and sees the purple pony is stuck on the wall, again.

"If you like to be a sticker. Please tell me." Sunset teases.

"Not funny Sunset," Twilight gets out of the wall, "I will research about this Pinkie Sense." Then she rushes out of the library.

"Sorry, Sunset," Spike walks to the door, "I have to help Rarity with some of her clothes, see ya." Spike walks out of the library, leaves the orange alone with her library.


Sunset returns to reading a book, but something is not right around. She opens the door and sees nothing around. The orange dragon decides to go inside. She swings her claw as the arrow is now in her claw. Looking at the left, she sees the stallion is stepping away from her. The orange dragon doesn't see anyone around but she decides not to teleport this time. When she rushes at the stallion to catch him, a net is thrown above her. Sunset is faking a struggle as three other creatures use the rope to tie around her snout to prevent her breathing the fire.

"Hah, now we can get our reward." One of them says, "And another one is down."

The griffin looks at Sunset as she is looking at him without being scared. "Don't worry, we will take you to our boss White Rich. He will make you a nice trophy." Sunset faceclaws and shakes her head, making the griffin feel weird, "What is she... whoa." The griffin jumps back when Sunset's body is on fire, making the net burn around, "How...how can it be possible?"

"Look like I have something to the captain of the guard," Sunset steps closer to the griffin as the griffin steps back, "And I have a lot of things to tell you."

"No... don't come here." The griffin runs away with the group but the firewall standing in their way, makes them stop and look at the dragon. The griffin stampers, "What... What are you?"

"Say that to the station." The orange dragon cast a magic circle on her claw. "I don't have a right to do this here." Then the group is terrified as they are having a nightmare and wishes to wake up, so they faint.
