The bar is in chaos… . Drinks flying everywhere, ponies pounding each other into submission with their hooves, and last of all; the villains; (plus Luna); are currently in the middle of it; surprisingly unaffected by what’s happening all around them… .

“We should go now…” Cozy Glow said while getting up from the floor.

Luna nodded, and then said; “but first; we have to get Shining Armor out of here… . It’s the least we can do… .”

Sombra sighs; mainly because he hated his enemy, but then reluctantly says; “fine… . But it doesn’t mean I’ll help him in future endeavors you know… .”

Luna then replied; “fair enough… ;” and then went with them to retrieve Shining Armor, and then leave before anyone notices.

Yet unfortunately; before they could make a clean getaway; Reginald stopped in front of them blocking the door. And as you might have guessed; he got a few small cuts from glass shards of broken dishes; plus a big bruise on his cheek from King Sombra giving him a good punch… . Not only that, but he was not happy.

King Sombra cleared his throat, and offered an apology; only to have a few royal guards point their spears at him; causing him to back off.

“I’m sorry that it has to come to this… ;” began Reginald. “but it has come to my attention that you villains have indeed caused trouble, and that you and the Princess are gonna have to face trial for your crimes… . What do you have to say for yourselves?”

Cozy Glow then reveals herself slightly from hiding behind King Sombra, and then meekly says; “not guilty… ?” Reginald then scoffed, and said; “wrong answer… ;” causing the guards to point their spears once more; now with determined looks.

With that; the group backed each other into a center, and awaited for their punishment in fear. Reginald then smirks, and then replied; “any last words… ?” Sombra then just said; “just one… ;” before hitting the deck and shouted; “incoming!” Soon after that; Reginald got nailed by a flying metal cart right to his face; causing him, and the guards he was with to be thrown outside, and lying on the ground with various injuries… ; (nothing too severe; just some cuts and bruises). With their chance of escape; the group took it, and got Shining Armor the heck out of dodge.



After collecting themselves at the edge of the Everfree Forest; the group then checked each other out for any injuries, and then gave the all clear once they were sure that no one had gotten hurt.

Unfortunately; before they could go to hide out in Sugarcube Corner; Shining Armor then passed out with a audible thud, and then just stopped moving entirely. This caused the group to pick him up, and run away; for fear that Reginald was gonna be back… .

This little night of theirs is definitely gonna get a lot more worse from here on out… .
