“All units! We have a 2/11 in progress near the business district, seven, maybe eight attackers! Code 99 red! I repeat, code 99 red! Jack is down! He’s hurt badly! ”
“Dash responding!” Judge Dash changed her course and sped up; making her winds go as fast as she could. It sounded like Judge Luna, thought Dash. Ever since she started that damn TV show trouble just seemed to follow her everywhere and anywhere. Still, she was a good Judge; she had not faltered in her duty. But Dash thought she could be doing a better job if she wasn’t “acting” all the time.
“Hang in there Jack. I’m coming!” shouted Luna. She leapt from behind a chariot, opening up her lawgiver. “My – UNHH! – priority now is to get my partner out of the firing line.”
“You’re seeing this live folks, as another two, three shots rip into Luna!” Crowds had gathered to watch the spectacle; they always do!
“They killing her!” one filly screamed, “They killing Judge Luna!” Luna was lying in a pool of her own blood, her wounds were serious; if she did not get medical attention soon...
“Prepare to die, Luna!” shouted one of the attackers as he sprang from cover, “You’re finished –“ His pathetic chants were cut short by Dash filling him with sweet, sweet lead. “It’s Dash!”, shouted a coat.
“You’re seeing this live folks! Judge Luna has been cut down while trying to drag Judge Jack to safety! But here comes Dash!”
“Judge Dash! Judge Dash will save her!” exclaimed a young filly in the crowd. Judge Dash ignored the crowds; she was never good with people. There was only one thing she was good at: dealing out justice!
He proceeded to deal out justice, one bullet at a time. The creeps in this city were a disgrace: they couldn’t aim a Las-blaster if they’re miserable lives’ depended on it... good job he could. As the last creep came crashing to the ground, she slipped his lawgiver into the poach under her right wing.
“Where’s the Med chariot?!” she yelled over the radio.
“With you now Dash.”
“Buh... Jack...?” stammered Luna
“Easy Luna.”
“A med chariot is now speeding Luna to hospital! And we’ve just heard that... oh grud it’s too awful!”
“Gruddamn it Charlie read the frigging line, the viewers got to know!” exclaimed the camera man.
“Judge Jack... Judge Jack was declared dead at the scene. Damn I loved her... Judge Luna is being taken to the specialist wounds unit at Justice-Dale.”
Dash looked around the scene, “Mutants” she grumbled. It figures, as candidate for next Chief Judge the Mutants are afraid of her. She would sweep all the reforms away and they would be forced to live in the Everfree forest again.
“What happens if Luna dies?” asked Judge Shy, “About the election I mean.”
“I suppose the anti-mutant brigade will find another candidate, plenty to choose from.”, replied Dash.
“Well it’s not looking good for Chief Judge Celestia”, said Judge soarin’, “The pony is a hero!”
“The pony is an actress!” retorted Dash.
“That doesn’t matter, the public love her... and you can’t change that Dash.”
“Maybe I won’t need to... she’s as good as dead.”
