The day begins in the halls of the Canterlot magic school. In a fairly used hall of the school there was a dark red pony, with a black mane, and with a cutie mark of beakers, his name was Regal.
Well today was a day that he thought that was going to be a normal day. He was supposed to in his levitation class, but instead he was on his way to the library, while he was in the hallway, he heard the schools PA system turn on “attention to all student the school is going into lockdown. All students please stay inside your classrooms or for those inside the hallways, run to the nearest available room” over the intercom.
“That didn’t sound like the principle, there’s something about that voice that sounds familiar,” thought Regal. He stopped walking and panicked, he thought he had heard somepony walking behind him, and the only room that was close was the Janitor room. So that is where he hid, all he could see through was the little crack on the bottom of the door and saw a shadow of somepony stopping in front of it. He tried holding his breath to make sure that the pony won’t be able hear him, “But, what if it’s a teacher?” he thought, “Should I take the cha….” The doorknob started to shake, “To bad I don’t know an invisibility spell.” The door opens and there stands a dark blue pony with a brown mane and the cutie mark of a red moon, in come his childhood best friend, Night Rush.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Night and Regal have been best friends since they were colts. Night wasn’t really one to pick fights, or even to try to defend himself. Whenever Night was caught into a situation with some of the neighborhood colts, Regal would always be there for him. Regal was the only pony that Night could talk to and know that whatever he shared with Regal, would stay between them.
Regal was to be sent to the magic school in Canterlot and Regal was lucky enough to bring Night along. Regal had an easy time in school while Night struggled to get by. He had a hard time getting through his classes, without the help of Regal. Regal was the bookworm while Night was the hoofs-on building pony type.
Night would get bullied whenever Regal was never at school. The next day that Regal would show up, Night would tell him about what happened the previous day. The only thing that Regal could do is just try to comfort him. Even though that was the only thing he could do, it still worked.
When Night was young, his parents had died while he was asleep. Someponys say that they had died in their sleep, others say that they had killed each other. There are some that also suggest that one of them committed suicide and the other couldn’t live without the other, forgetting about Night Rush all at one time. The most possible solution on how they died was that a thief broke in and killed them. Unfortunately, no pony knows what actually happened. The only family he had was Regal, to him he was a brother.

“Night! Where, how? Do you know what in Lunas sake is going on?” Regal asked.
“Regal…I didn’t know that you would be here…I thought you would’ve been home today,” worried Night.
“No, my parents made me come to school today even if it’s just for the same levitation class that I have had for the past 2 years.”
“Well Regal, I really think that you should go home,” Night demanded.
“Well obviously I want to leave but I can’t. Remember the whole school is on lockdown, plus who knows if the Royal Guard is on their way. Hell I’ll be surprised if even Princess Celestia shows up!” Regal said sarcastically.
“Regal I know…
“Have you been able to see what has been going on?”
“Regal…can you please…,” but got interrupted again.
“Night can you tell me”
“REGAL!” Regal was shocked that Night had raised his voice at him. It was the first time that he had heard Night raise his voice.
“I’m sorry Night I’m just happy to see that you are okay.”
“Its fine…just listen to me…I am the reason why the school is on lockdown.”
Regal is to stunned to be able say anything.
“Surprised right?”
“What?! This cannot be right…are you joking with me?” questioned Regal
“No, I am not joking with you,” he assured Regal.
“What happened?”
“No pony has hardly ever liked me for who I am. I can’t even get noticed around the nerds of the school. Do you even think I can even get a mare friend? I have had enough with everypony treating me like an outcast….I’ll show them Regal…you will see,” he said with anger and hatred in his voice.
“Can’t we try to talk this over?” reasoned Regal.
“NO! I have already started, I have had it with this place,” Night yelled.
“Can you at least tell me what happened?” he asked nicely.
“If you really want to know then fine.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Regal, this all started a couple of weeks ago, when you had to skip school for that whole week, since you were sick. Do you remember?” Night asked.
“Yes I remember, and they started picking on you because I wasn’t around to protect you?”
“Yes it was. And can you guess who were the ones picking on me?”
Regal took a while to try to think of who, but no one came to mind, “No I can’t think of anypony”
“Well it was your so called ‘friends’…,” he says sarcastically, “they took the advantage of you being away for the week. So, they decided to mock me by my past through out the whole school.”
“What did they do to you?” Regal asked.
“They started spreading rumors that I was the one that killed my parents. They said things to them that can make sense and lead everything back to me. Most of the school believed them, some didn’t. Even some of the faculty believed it and moved my seat to the back of the class. They made my life more miserable than I thought it could get.”
“I’m so sorry Night.”
Night ignored him and continued, “So the same day that you came back, I decided to stay home, and try to find a way that I could convince them that I am not a killer. Nothing would have worked, so I thought about sending a letter to Celestia but I knew she wouldn’t have done anything about it. So instead I took matters into my own hooves, I started coming up with these ideas, some crazy ideas. If they wanted me to be seen as a killer, I will give them a killer. I wanted to see them hurt, so I thought about making some type of bomb, but then I thought about it, nooohooo I want to see their face and I want them to know who did it. So I decided to make a spell that would paralyze them permanently. Some will die right away but, I think that is fine. But hey I am a killer right? I guess that’s what killers do.”
“Night, yes what they did to you was wrong. Making it seem that you would kill your own parents is stupid. Couldn’t you have found a better way to fix all of this? Did you even try talking with the headmaster?”
“Hahaha! The headmaster?! He did the same thing as everpony. He just ignored me and just said no. He said that he can control rumors.”
“So this morning I came in very early and had a private chat with him, and I asked him one last time to tell everypony in the school to know that I am not a killer. I also told him that if he didn’t, there would be a big problem on his hooves. Can you guess what he said?” He asked Regal.
“He said no,” Regal answered.
“Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner! So I did what needed to be done. Hehe the fool still sids in his office, ohh what a face he has…,” Night leans in towards Regal and whispers, “It’s so priceless! HA!”
As soon as he started to laugh, Night heard the sound of marching and shouting, the wonderful music that he wanted the assembling of the Royal Guard.
