//------------------------------// // Secret of Octavia // Story: The Bismarck // by cellum95 //------------------------------// "Who are you?" Celestia asked the mysterious but familiar pony. "I will tell it later, but for now-" The pony cut her sentence when she fired another round to one of the ponies. Instantly, the pony got killed by the head, and the mysterious pony cock the gun again. The Germans, on the other hand, saw what happened and was astonished when they saw the mysterious pony, but keeps firing anyway. After 30 minutes of intense gun fire, the armed ponies flee away, leaving the princesses, chief and the Mane 6 astonished. "I will repeat my sisters question: who are you mysterious pony?" Luna asked the same question. With a heavy sigh, the pony said: "I'm Octavia. Yes, it's me. But some pony, in this suit, call me Mafia Octavia because I got a mafia of my own, but it's a secret." The pony gasped, but Heinrich asked anyway. "What caused your life from a musician to a Mafia? Please tell us. It's interesting if it's possible." "Okay, I will tell it once, and please don't tell it to my friend, Vinyl." With a lot of nods, she now narrates her story. "It happened 4 weeks ago. I was just performing in a local bar as a special guest to perform with my beloved cello. It was just a typical day for the bar, I was performing, while customers like my music. Then, when it's like another day, 5 armed ponies ransacked the bar. They took the liquor, money, and my cello. I tried to save it, but I was knocked unconcious, but regained it minutes later. For 3 days, I'm in a state of depression. Although I still eat and drink, it's just little. I'm cried for my beloved cello, and I think what I will do next. After those days, I finally reached a decision." "What was your decision dear? I do hope it's not revenge." Rarity said. "But it was revenge that was in my mind. I was fueled by anger and the desire of vengeance, so in the next few weeks, I trained on a gun range, and buying my suit, the one for my Mafia and the one for my regular one. After those weeks, I was ready. My first trial of fire is that I got to an abandoned building, and I saw the same 5 armed ponies, chatting how great they are. With some concentration, I jumped to them and I fired my gun, hitting 4 out of the 5 of them, killing them. The last one was completely scared, and I interrogated him." "What did you ask him?" Twilight asked. "Oh not that much, although one of my questions, 'Who is your leader?', he answered 'The Flim Flam Brothers'. With satisfaction, I marched out of the building, but not before retrieving the looted goods from the bar and my beloved cello. For another few weeks, I hunted the brothers, going to abandoned buildings, killing those who are a part of it. But it was useless, and the ones surrendered joined me, but I keep a watchful eye on them. After a meeting with them, I decided that my Mafia's name is the 'Black Cello', and all of them agreed. But because of few arms, we raided gun shops, getting all of the guns and ammo, and killing those who are part of the brothers' mafia." There was no reply at first, it was complete silence, before Pinkie said: "It's a sad story Octavia. I'm sorry for it. Scratch that. We're sorry for your loss." "It's okay. However, sometimes I also regret my actions of killing the ponies part of the brothers' mafia." But before anyone(or anypony) could reply, Applejack jumped in and said: "Those brothers a li'l vermints I say! Let's get them!" But Octavia put a hoof on her shoulder and said: "Don't do what I did before." With a sigh, Applejack nodded. Gunther jumped into the conversation and said in German: "Tun sie wollen zu kommen uns?(Do you want to join us?)" Octavia pauses for a moment, hesitating for a moment, but with a hand given to her, she replied with a 'Ja', and they, with the other ponies, walk back to the German ships. -Few Minutes Later- "Wow." Octavia claimed as she saw the ships. It was beautiful, much more beautiful than she imagined. It was elegantly designed, with different sizes of guns on it. The ponies listened as one of the sailors approached the Captain, with Heinrich and Octavia knew that it was a plane returning from a showcase. "Octavia, I will ask my colleagues to teach you with our weapons. Would you like that?" Heinrich offered. "No thanks. My gun is enough." "As you wish." "Now, with all those chit-chat, I could still remember when you said that the Bismarck has eight, 38 cm SK C/34 Guns, while the secondary ones are twelve 15 cm L/55 guns, with sixteen 10.5 cm L/65, 3.7 cm L/83 and twelve 2 cm Anti-Aircraft or Flak guns. Is it correct?" Luna said. "Well yes. And I could still remember when you asked the Prinz Eugen's weapons right?" Heinrich said. "Yes, and could you please tell us?" Celestia pleaded. "Alright then, the Prinz Eugen has eight 20.3 cm SK L/60 guns, with twelve 10.5 cm L/65, 3.7 cm and eight 2 cm Flak Guns. She also has twelve 53.3 cm torpedo tubes. Like the Bismarck, she's also a fortress." "It's interesting. By the way, could you please show me your weapons? I'm very interested in it." Octavia said. "Well, okay, but don't touch them." "I won't." Octavia replied, with Heinrich getting the sailors to showcase their weapons.
