//------------------------------// // Part 6: Court of The Innocent // Story: A Simple Repair // by MajorFrostwing //------------------------------// A Simple Repair Part 6: Court Of The Innocent By: Major Frostwing I awaited outside of the royal court room I was shackled to 6 guards in case I tried something. Not that I would be so foolish to do something like that. "Prisoner walk forward ." One of the guards barked as I began the walk into the court room. I saw both princess' and knew I was screwed. "Kneel prisoner." The guard barked again I did as told. The restraints were tightened as I was secured to the floor. "Ex-Major Frostwing of the 9th Battalion of Halo Fliers you are charged with the assault of one Colonel Flame Nova of the 9th Battalion Halo Fliers." Luna's words were strict and procedural. "How do you plea?" She asked me not a single hint of sorrow. "Not Guilty." I said calmly I did nothing wrong I was attacked first. Now the hard part to prove my innocence. "Your evidence?" Celestia asked me watching me carefully. "I had a witness with me that can prove I was attacked first." I said looking up at her. A guard grabbed my head slamming it down criminals weren't allowed to look directly at the princess. "Who is this witness because we have an entire restaurant worth of people saying you attacked him first." Luna stated which I expected no one anywhere liked me because of my past. "A very good friend of your student Princess. One Miss Rainbow Dash was with me the night of the alleged assault." I said with a smile the news shocked the princess'. "Why were we not informed of this?" Celestia asked Flame Nova. "He is obviously lying your highness." Flame said with a bow. "The only one lying is you Flame." I yelled at him venom filling my words. A guards boot slammed on the back of my head. I continued to stare down Flame he was scared of me I could tell. "Your majesty allow me to take this filth to the firing squad so we can deal with his treason accordingly." Flame said which shocked me but Celestia raised a hand. "This is a trial Colonel he has to be proven guilty before any punishment could be handed down onto him." She said looking down at me. "Frostwing why do you say Colonel Flame Nova is lying?" She asked me kindly. I was taken aback by this kindness. "I didn't throw the first punch until he hit Rainbow Dash but that isn't the only thing I am talking about." I wasn't going to let him weasel out of this. "Back to the day of the accident I didn't do anything to the A.W.G.s of my comrades the design that was planted was flawed. I would never endanger my team I would test out the design myself." I shot a look at Flame who was sweating. "And if I did why is it that myself and Flame are still here instead of in the ground?" I asked directing my question at Flame. He stomped his foot. "Enough silence the prisoner." He ordered My mouth was sealed with magic before I could say another word. Celestia glared at Flame which made him flinch. I was able to speak once again. "The charges right now are about your alleged assault not that mater remember that Frostwing." Luna said with a scowl. I bowed my head understanding. "My apologies your Majesty." I looked back to Flame he looked like he was panicking. "I did not attack him until he attacked Rainbow Dash she can vouch for me." I said calmly smiling. "Guard." Celestia said calmly. "Send Rainbow Dash in." She ordered. "Yes your majesty." The guard quickly went out. He came back with Rainbow walking next to him. She stood next to me glaring down at me she had a black eye from where Flame hit her My blood boiled when I saw it. "Rainbow Dash were you attacked by this man." Luna asked motioning towards Flame. Rainbow nodded her head quietly. I saw Flame flinch. "Tell us what transpired last night Rainbow Dash." Celestia said with a smile. Rainbow looked down at me then back up. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After a few minutes of an intense story by Rainbow Dash Celestia looked down at me then to Flame she shook her head at Flame. "Release the prisoner." Celestia ordered. The guard stood me up and un-cuffed me quietly. They bowed to the princess' then left. I stood there rubbing my wrists calmly. "Thank you Princess Celestia." I said calmly glaring at Flame. "I do have one request Princess." I took my eyes off of Flame to look at Celestia. "What right do you have to request anything of us Frostwing?" Luna asked angrily. "I just want to settle a simple score with my little brother." I said with a gentle smile but it was filled with malice and hatred. Celestia must have picked up on this. "What did you have in mind Frostwing?" Celestia questioned me I looked at Flame cracking my knuckles. "You want a duel against your brother?" She was puzzled by this hatred between brothers. "Yes I want to make him suffer for what he did to our friends and family." I felt a hand on my shoulder which made me stop. I looked over to see Rainbow Dash stopping me. "Granted." Celestia said calmly. "No A.W.G.s will be used in this duel only your skills with a blade and your fists." She smiled. "And the wager?" She said with that same smile. "How about if I win Flame is stripped of his rank all the way down to private." I smiled feeling my blood boil at the thought of getting back at him. "If you lose Frostwing you will be imprisoned until you die are the conditions clear?" Luna asked me smiling. I bowed my head before walking up to Flame I took out one of my work gloves. "No offense brother." I said smacking him across the face with the glove. "But I will not lose to you." I stated before punching him squarely in the face knocking him down to the ground. "Not after what you did." I whispered walking away. Rainbow quickly followed me. "Are you Stupid Frost he is a trained soldier he will tear you apart." She yelled at me which caught me off guard. "Rainbow I won't lose for a very simple reason." I stated to her my eyes were Ice cold. "And what reason would that be?" She placed her hands on her hips looking at me disapprovingly. "He was always used to speed being his power not fighting someone face to face." I stated calmly. "Also I was military as well instead of practicing on speed I focused on tactics and power." I smiled thinking to all the times I put my brother face first to the ground. "I won't lose not when the wager is so high." I cracked my knuckles walking down the hall. I was finally going to get revenge on my brother for what he had done.
