//------------------------------// // Chapter Eight: Court. // Story: Mare Do Well Begins // by shanetommas111 //------------------------------// In a court room a serial killer named Red Lightning that had killed six stallions and forty seven mares. A light brown stallion with an orange mane and a skull with cross bones for a cutie mark in a black suit were pacing through the court room. “Mr. Lightning here has killed six stallion, and forty seven mares, proving that Lightning is not suitable for Canterlot prison and must be put in Arkhoof Asylum.” Then a yellow mare with a mint color mane and a balancer as a cutie mark stood up and said. “Doctor Crow, just because Red Lightning had murdered these ponies do you think he should be transferred to an Asylum. And by accounts he hasn’t done anything in Canterlot prison.” Crow just looked at her for a second before walking up to Red. “Miss Warm Heart, I know more about psychotic ponies enough to say that they are a living time bomb for disaster and Mr. Lightning should be in an Asylum before he goes off.” Crow pointed is right hoof at Red but unknown to anypony in the court room Crow had a hidden devise under his right sleeve and it sprayed an invisible gas that Red breathed in. Red Lightning stood there his eyes looking at everything that was in his field of vision. “Does his lawyer have anything to say about this?” Red Lightning’s lawyer stood up and was about to speak until Red suddenly smashed a class of water and grabbed the biggest shard then stabbed it into the lawyer’s neck. The mare started to panic trying to pull the shard out but Red kept punching her while crying out in horror. It wasn't till the security guard tackled him that he finally stopped. Everypony in the room were all shocked by his sudden outburst all except Crow that only had his eyes widen. “You see! This is why he should’v gone to Arkhoof Asylum!” He yelled pretended to be shocked while paramedics were attending to the mare’s critical injury. ******************* After the trial Red Lightning’s transfer was agreed by everypony all except for Warm Heart storming her way out of the court him with one of her friends by her side then spoke. “Do you think it was strange that after Crow talked about sudden break downs Red attacked his lawyer?” Warm’s friend looked her and said. “I don’t know? But I’m just glad she lasted long enough for her to get to stabilize at the hospital.” He then saw Warm walking to Crow and he said. “Warm what are you doing?” She didn’t answer and just went face to face with Crow and said. “You had something to do with this! Did you?!” Crow simply took off his classes and said. “What do you mean miss Warm Heart?” “How did you now he was going to attack her?!” She snarled at him. “Have you ever heard of a coincidence miss Warm Heart? Now I must go to meet with somepony and I might be late.” He pushed Warm Heart aside and said one last thing. “Goodbye.” Warm just starred at Crow till he exited the building and said. “He’s hiding something and I’m going to find out.” Her friend looked at her and gave a look of ‘How?’ She smiled to her friend and said. “I need to make a call.” ******************* In Ponyville Twilight was enjoying a cupcake in Sugar Cube Corner till she heard the news about the court incident with Red Lightning. “Just two hours ago the trial of the curial killer Red Lightning to be transferred to Arkhoof Asylum turned into a brutal incident when Lightning attacked his lawyer by stabbing her in the neck with a shard of class.” Twilight and the other ponies in SCC gasped about what Newsmare said on the television. “Fortunately his lawyer survived from the sudden attack but is her injury is critical in the Canterlot General. This is your local Newsmare with your news.” Then Mr. Cake turned off the TV for his costumers would get worried. Twilight was shocked because one of her old acquaintance from Celestria’s Gifted Unicorn Academy was there. She was about to call her till her phone rang and saw that it was Warm Heart. She sighed in relief knowing that Warm is ok. She then answered her phone to talk to Warm Heart. “Warm what happened? Are you hurt?” Twilight questioned Warm Heart. “Yes Twilight I’m fine but I need to ask you to do something for me.” Warm Heart asked on the phone. “Have you seen the news about the trial?” “Yeah Red Lightning went crazy and attacked his lawyer.” Twilight answered. “Why you ask?” “Because in the trial Red was com a moment ago then Crow talked about mental break downs and after that Red went berserk.” She told Twilight in a serious tone. “Do you think it was a coincidence that Red broke down after Crow spoke?” Twilight then wore a questionable face. “Yeah it does sound strange if you think about it.” Twilight then asked. “Why are you telling me this?” “I need you to investigate of what exactly happened. Find out what Crow is planning and see if he has any ‘friends’ that are linked to this.” Warm asked. “Can you do that?” Twilight was silent for a moment before saying “I’ll gonna go to Canterlot right away.” ******************* Somewhere in a Canterlot hotel, Dr. Crow is meeting with a stallion. The stallions name is Al Copony, the biggest underground crime lord in Canterlot. They began talking about things involving the transferring of criminals from Canterlot prison to Arkhoof Asylum till Crow brought up another topic about Warm Heart. “When I was at Mr. Lightning’s trial I ear-drop on Warm Heart talking to Twilight Sparkle and they are being suspicious about me.” He then took off his classes. “Can you take care of them?” “Alright how much are they worth?” Al Copony asked while enjoying a mare’s lap dance. “That won’t work on them Mr. Copony. There dreamers.” He sat strait up on his chair. “I see well I also have a way dealing with those types.” He said still looking at the mare’s flank. “Of course, but I advise you to go after Twilight first.” He then got up preparing to leave. “She’s the one investigating, and I imagine she’s on her way to Canterlot by this very minute.” He smiled and said. “I’ll do that. Now come on enjoy yourself.” He then grabbed the mare’s flank and pulled it to him, of course the mare didn't like it but she was in no position to argue, unless he makes her go in a position. Crow just looked and said. “Sorry I’m not that kind of stallion. Oh and also my associate will be coming to Canterlot.” After saying that Al Copony’s eyes widened and pushed the mare away and asked. “She’s coming here! When will she come?” “In a couple of weeks at best, so I advise you to finish any operations you have here and leave.” Crow then walked out of the door before saying. “Goodbye and… good luck.”
