Wisdom's: Journey to find Lily Peace

by InnerWisdom


Chapter VIII: The Demand

I was strapped into a chair in a torture room of some sort and my muzzle had been muzzled shut, ironically. I only say a torture room because of all of the medieval devices that were around me. I could hear somepony coming and while I awaited I thought to myself, and came to the conclusion, that there was no way I was going to tell Destro a single thing.

The door opened and Destro says, “Well, well, well. I hope this room is comfortable for you, cause now I need you to cooperate for me, or else. . .I get to have fun.”

I just sit and stare at Destro as he unwraps a sheet and unveils several cutting tools.

Destro then says, “all I want to know is. . .Celestia’s Plan of attacking me. If you cooperate I promise to let you see your friends and Lily again before I end up killing you.”

Again, I just remain motionless and as I do so he removes the muzzle and says, “well say something at least so that I know that you understand me.”

“You’re Scared,” I say in a hushed tone.

“Scared? Scared of what?” says Destro completely curiously and lost.

“The truth, the answer, and the outcome, because no matter what I tell you, you will be scared,” I say.

“I won’t be scared by you or any other pony, so just tell me, what are Celestia’s Plans,” says Destro who’s growing angrier and impatient.

“You really think I’m going to tell you, are you that desperate, that scared, you must be if you're asking the one and only Wisdom for information, and if I may say so, your interrogation techniques are just cliche,” I say chuckling.

“Well then, why don’t we just skip to the torture, and why don’t we start with. . .your wings, then the rest of your body, and we finish off with your dignity,” says Destro with a look of pleasure.

A series of horrifying screams are heard all around the facility, guards start laughing and hoofing each other. Destro grabs some scissors clipping several of the feathers from my wings off, he beats me with sticks, metal poles, and even tortures me by dunking me underwater.

He then throws me in the chair and says, “Now, do you have something useful for me, something that I need to know.”

Exhausted beyond all belief, I pull myself together and say, “You can clip feathers from my wings, you can beat me up, you can torture as much as you’d like, but I will never tell you Celestia’s plans.”

“So be it, I guess I must torture some pony important to you in order to get my answers,” says Destro before calling for a guard, he then says, “Bring prisoner L!”

“You leave Lily out of this. . .” I say before being interrupted.

“Who says Prisoner L is Lily, what if it’s somepony else,” says Destro laughing maniacally.

Moments before the interrogation

My friends were outside of a guard station planning to capture a guard and question him.

“Alright, Weep, Sleep, Peachy, and Tick will go to the left, while I lead Lily, Sgt Fears, Dynamo, and Dr. Shenanigans, take the right. Monstershy. . .hmm, Monstershy, I want you to cause an aerial distraction,” says Pondi.

They all shake their heads in agreement and then attack the guard station. Three guards try to get away but Peachy, and Lily tackle them. Sgt Fears duct tapes them to a wall and Dr, Shenanigans begins the painful interrogation.

Moments later, Dr. Shenanigans walks over to the group and says, “Their keeping the pony on the other side of the facility near Destro’s main office. However, Destro isn’t going to be in his office, he is about to begin interrogating Wisdom.’

“Then it’s time to gallop!” says Pondi.

They start galloping to the other side of the facility when they hear a huge scream coming from somewhere in the facility. Then when they think that they have found the containment cell for the pony, Pondi says, “Monstershy, rip it off!”

Monstershy rips the door off and they find no pony inside.

“Where is this pony?” says Weep.

“Was there even a pony?” says Sleep.

“Perhaps we were too late,” says Pondi.

They then decide it’s time to save me. They start galloping again towards the sound of the screaming. As they approach guards swarm around them and the fight begins.

Pondi pulls out his staff and swings it around knocking several of the guards out cold, Lily keeps punching and kicking the guards while Peachy hops on one of the guards backs and rides him around crashing him into a wall. They fight until the guards are defeated, they then head towards the screams once again, slowly approaching the door.

Back to the interrogation

The guards enter the room with a pony with it’s head covered.

“Well, well, well, Prisoner L, before I remove that bag I must tell you that you have been doing well being locked up here for several years. I hope your ready for this, (Slowly getting closer to Prisoner L’s ear, whispering) Cause I sure am,” says Destro.

The bag is removed and a stallion is revealed. This stallion has light green fur, and a red mane. He looks at me and says, “Who is that, why are you doing this to me.”

“I’d like you to meet Wisdom, he is the one who is currently following in Zircon’s hoof steps, and has been learning from all the other elders including your wife, Sequoia,” says Destro.

My mouth drops as I look over to the stallion and say, “Your Wife! wait, wait, wait, You’re Sequoia’s Husband, Lily’s Father, but we all thought you were dead.”

“No, I was never dead, I was merely ponynapped by him and forced to give away the location of the hives. . .”says Lily’s Father.

“But why, why did you?” I ask.

“I didn’t, it was that assistant of his, Clank if I’m right. He gave Destro all the locations,” says Lily’s Father.

“Enough! Now, I will kill him, if you don’t tell me Celestia’s plans,” says Destro menacingly.

“What’s your name?” I ask.

“My name is Cosmos Peace,” says Cosmos

“I said ENOUGH! This is your final chance to tell me Wisdom or else I will kill him,” says Destro as he puts a blade to Cosmos neck.

“Fine!”I say.

“Don’t do it Wisdom, I’ve served my purpose and now you must serve yours,” says Cosmos.

“What?” I say confused.

“You must take care of Lily, keep her safe, and whatever you do, kill this motherbucker,” says Cosmos.

“You’ve got three seconds. . .” says Destro before being interrupted.

“She plans on using another army and attacking this very same facility,” I say.

Destro laughs and says, “Good. Now that I know what she plans on doing I can prepare my troops for battle. I shall finish you off, afterwards.” Destro leaves the room with Cosmos and I still inside.

“Why’d you tell him Celestia’s plan, now there’s gonna be no chance at stopping him,” says Cosmos in shock.

“I gave him the plan Celestia had in mind, but I didn’t give him the real plan,” I say smiling.

I explain the plan to him and he looks at me and says, “That’s brilliant, but how are we gonna get out of here.”

Just as he says that the door get ripped away, the lights turn off, and Monstershy trots in and finds me. He rips the straps off and as he does my friends trot in to see my wounds and bruises.

“Wow, he really did a number on you now didn’t he,” says Sgt Fear.

Lily gallops on over and hugs me and says, “I was so worried that I was going to lose you. . .”

I stop her and say, “I’m okay, I missed you too, but I’ve got a huge surprise for you.”

I walk over into the darkness and untie Cosmos straps and walk with him over to Lily.
As soon as she see’s him, she gallops onto him, crying tears of joy. Cosmos explains everything to her. It was a wonderful father and daughter moment.

I then say, “It’s time to end this, once and for all.”
As I say that Clank walks into the room and gets tackled onto the ground.

“Well, looky who it is, I told you I’d put a grenade in your mouth and pull the pin (As he starts to put a grenade in Clanks mouth)” says Dynamo.

“Wait, he must answer for his crimes first,” says Sgt Fears.

“Yes, throw him into the chair and strap him down,” says Dr. Shenanigans.

He is thrown into one of the chairs but before they strap him in, I say, “Wait he’s still with us.”

Everypony looks at each other confused but then I say, “I planned for him to capture us, and bring us here, I knew it was the only way I was going to get to see Lily. I also knew it was the only way I could stop Destro. Isn’t that right Griffin.”

“Right? Isn’t that Right, well when you took us into that room and said what you pretty much just said then I guess you’d be right, so yes,” says Griffin.

“As I said before, it’s time for me to end this,” I say heroically.

“Wait. You can’t do this by yourself, I’m going with you,” says Lily worrisome.

“I can’t allow that, I can't put you in harms way, nor could I have the rest of you put in harms way again,” I say before I start to fly away.

All my pegasus friends start carrying the others and fly next to me.

“We never leave a friend behind,” says Peachy.


“Yea, you may be in charge but we can’t just let you go like this, it’s suicide,” says Weep.

“Yea, plus Destro is getting an army ready, you're going to need us to help,” says Sleep.

“Plus when this is all over, I would be more then happy to learn more about the one who risked his life and his friend’s lives to save my daughter,” says Cosmos.

“Well then, my friends, it’s time WE end this, once and for all,” I say proudly.
