Snow is trying to block Coral's attack with a sword, but the attack is too strong and make the sword is broken. When the halberd slams into the ground, it leaves a force to blow the kirin a bit. Snow Storm is amazed to see the earth pony's strength. Coral gives her a smirk and she lifts the halberd to charge at her. Snow sees that and she lits herself up on fire, making the captain stop.

"Ah ah ah," Coral smiles, "Someone is on fire. Both literally and mentally." 

"You force me to do this captain." Snow Storm's horn glowing to levitate the earth pony. Coral feels herself to be levitated as she smiles. She throws the halberd to the kirin. The kirin sees that and quickly jumps aside to dodge. When she looks back to her opponent, the captain is already in front of the kirin. The kirin is trying to levitate back but it's too late. The earth pony blows a punch into her chest, making the kirin cough and lie down. Coral looks at her hoof and it is burned a bit.

Coral looks at the kirin, "Look like you lose." then she looks at her hoof, "At least you burned me a little bit."

The kirin tries to stand up, "I won't lose, not this time."

Coral sits on the kirin's back, makes Snow Storm yelp, and struggle to get out. Coral then lies on her back, "Don't try too hard." Snow Storm stops struggling and huffs. Coral stands up, "Training over. You pass the tutorial. Good job, Toothbrush tail," then Coral walks out of the training room and laughs.

Snow Storm stands up and sighs, "Wow, she is really strong."

"That's our captain," Swift Blue wraps the bandages around the kirin's wounds, "I bet that she will skip work again." Snow Storm tilts her head in confusion. Swift Blue walks out of the training room, "Don't believe me? I will show you." Snow Storm follows the vice-captain.


The duo walks to the captain's room and opens it. They don't see Cora anywhere. Snow Storm looks around to investigate. as Swift Blue turns to the kirin, " See what I mean? I am struggling to find a way to make her take the job seriously."

"So... How much she skips her works?" asks Snow Storm

Swift Blue answers, "Three days a week." 

Snow Storm keeps walking around the room to see if something weird is happening. When she looks at the bookshelf, she sees a book that does not match the line with others. The kirin takes the book out and sees a button in there. Snow Storm presses the button and the bookshelf is moving left. Swift Blue is surprised and looks at the secret way. 

Snow Storm rubs her head, "Is that how our captain always manages to skip her work? I can think about that."

Swift Blue shuts his mouth and turns to Snow Storm, "Hey, can you call eight more guards here? We will drag this bad captain."

"Yes sir," The kirin runs out of the room as Swift Blue looks at the secret door. Now the captain will be arrested.




The purple duo is following the Abyssian to the Diamond Dog mine, much to their confusion. When they just come inside a room, there are many bottles of wine and beer. A bartender is serving his customers as all of them enjoy the chilling music. Twilight and Spike look at Breaker in confusion while the Abyssian just sits down.

Breaker orders, "Give me a good cocktail," then she points at the purple duo, "And two mocktails, please. They can't drink alcohol."

"Right away, lady." 

The bartender starts making the drink while Twilight and Spike sit next to Breaker. Looking around, everyone is talking but not so loudly while some of them are just alone and drinking wine. Spike asks, "Why did you take us here? You already know we can't take too many alcohols,"

"Silly," Breaker takes out the Equestria's magazine about the bar rating, "This is the magazine about the best bar and this one rate top 3," 

Twilight looks at the magazine and it is exactly what Breaker says, "And why are you leading us here? I'm still ...." Breaker puts her paw to Twilight's lip and silently points at the blue pony. The purple pony coughs, "So, you think you're still good..." and they start faking to talk friendly to each other.

The blue pony looks around to see anything suspicious. When he sees it clear, he sits down at a table and orders a drink. The purple duo and Breaker continue to drink and talk while spying on that pony. After a while, one griffin comes inside and notices the blue pony. The griffin then walks to the pony and sits beside him.

The pony asks, "Did you succeed in breaking that farm?"

"A little," answers the griffin, "We are planning to burn all of the apple trees tomorrow. The storage breaking is just a smoke bomb to cover ourselves. The family has to focus on fixing that storage."

"I see." The pony nods, "If you succeed, I will give you double the prize. Do your best."

"That's generous of you, Mister." The griffin stands up, "We will succeed. Don't worry."

The pony grins as the purple duo glare at him. When they are about to talk to him, Breaker drags them back to the seat and shakes her head, "We got the information. Don't rush it." The purple duo looks at each other as Breaker stands up, "Anyway, you two will pay the money for the drink and we will get out of here." Breaker is already walking out of the bar while Spike puts the bag of bits and goes out of the bar.




Celestia tries to close her eyes to sleep but she can't due to the hard training. Her muscles are stiff. The white alicorn wakes up and whispers, "Look like I can't sleep. Hope that Luna can sleep." The white alicorn walks to the balcony to watch the peaceful night sky. 

The white alicorn closes her eyes to feel the wind of the night blow into her fur. Suddenly, the door clicked as Celestia looks at the door. She finds no one in there. The white alicorn feels weird and she turns back to the balcony. Suddenly, the vase is dropped and broken, making Celestia feel something not good. Looking around, she sees a shadow on the ground. Before she could do anything, a force slams her down as the alicorn looks at the roof. She realizes that is a dark figure with a dagger. The figure is going to thrust at her as Celestia closes her eyes.

Opening her eyes, she feels that she is still alive and breathing heavily. The alicorn looks around and sees a dagger is plugged next to her neck. Standing up, Sunset is already in front of the alicorn and shaking her head. The orange dragon crosses the calendar.

"Where is the assassin?" The white alicorn looks around, "Did you get him?"

"Are you still sleepy or not?" reminds Sunset, "You are already dead if that is the real assassin."

"Wha....what?" Celestia doesn't believe what she hears, "Even at bedtime, you don't give me a rest?"

"No?" Sunset shakes her head as the white alicorn glares at the orange dragon, "I love that face of yours, Celly," the orange dragon points the dagger at her, "and so does the real assassin."

Celestia grunts and sits next to Sunset, "You give me a heartache, Sunset. I hate you so much."

"Thank you," Sunset starts peeling an orange, "I appreciate that."

Celestia huffs, "Even your old teacher, you show no mercy."

"If I am mercy, I maybe die in another world," Sunset gives the alicorn a smirk and stands up, "Now time for Luna. Let's see she is better than you or not. See ya, Princess Mashmallow"

Celestia grunts as the orange dragon flies away. Celestia looks at Sunset flying into Luna's room from the balcony as she doesn't know what will happen to her sister. Taking a chair, she sits down to wait for the result. After 15 minutes, Luna screams, "Guards! Guards!" as she stands up. The white alicorn runs to her sister's room and sees what happens.

When she gets there, the black coat dragon is flying away as Celestia sighs. All of the guards nearby are rushing inside the room. Celestia walks inside her sister's room and feels jealous of her. 

Luna breathes heavily, "I thought I was dead," then the night princess stands up and takes a deep breath.

One of the guards asks, "You okay? Princess."

"I'm okay," The princess of the night walks on the bed, "Leave us alone. I want to talk to my sister. Oh, remember to guard the castle carefully,"

"Yes, your majesty," 

The guards go out of the room as Celestia sits next to her. Luna sighs, "I don't know if someone wants to kill us."

"Honestly," Celestia looks at the balcony, "Get out of there, Sunset. I know what you're doing." The black coat appears on the balcony as she reveals herself. 

Luna glares at the orange dragon, "Why did you do this? You are giving me a heartache, you know?"

"Part of training." Sunset takes a cup and makes the tea, "Let see how you can survive when an assassin suddenly appears and wants to kill you." Luna sighs as she lies down on the bed. Sunset continues, "I have to say that you are doing better than Celly."

Luna gives her sister a smirk while Celestia just rolls her eyes. Celestia turns to the dragon, "Can we know what we will train in tomorrow."

"Just like today, dodge." Sunset is sipping the tea, "Don't worry. The level is still the same because you two can't dodge them all."

Luna huffs, "I don't know how much mana you have inside, but that's a lot to dodge." Luna turns to the orange dragon but she is gone, "What? That's impolite to her." Celestia pats her back to calm her down as the blue alicorn sighs.





Breaker and the purple duo are standing in the Sweet Apple Acres as they are looking at the map that borrows from Applejack. Breaker is thinking about it as Twilight and Spike look around, it is creeping in the night. 

Breaker walks to the purple duo and says, "This farm is too large. That griffin can burn everywhere he wants. I can call Feather and Bull this time."

"We can make traps, right?" suggest Spike, "It will be effective when we do traps everywhere."

"That will cost a night." Breaker folds her paws, "And if we do that, we don't have the energy to stay awake tomorrow."

Twilight takes out the yellow potions, "At least Sunset gives us these things." Breaker takes the potion as Twilight continues,  "These potions allow us to stay awake in 24 hours. But after 24 hours, we will sleep for another 24 hours."

"I ....see. Sounds risky, huh?" Breaker drinks the potion, "I take this risk. I need a rest after all."

"Sure," Spike drinks the potion, "I will take the tool to make traps. You two will decide to set the trap." Spike walks to the storage while Breaker and Twilight think about which place to set a trap. 





Coral is enjoying the drink of the bar without no one knowing as she is confident that no one knows her here. The poke on her back makes the mare look back. When she is looking back, Swift Blue, Snow Storm, and many guards are standing behind her. 

Coral smiles nervously, "Uh... how can you know that I'm here?"

"Well," explains Snow Storm, "I discovered your secret way to go outside, then I asked some diamond dogs nearby and they told us that you are usually here. Nice way to be a bad captain." 

Coral glares at the kirin, "I hate you, Snow Storm." Snow Storm drags the captain out of the bar while Coral accepts the drag, "Fine, you win this time." The white kirin is humping her first victory as Coral grunts. This will be fun.
