//------------------------------// // "Fate" // Story: Death Note: Alight Equestria // by DeviousNights //------------------------------// Aryan Blues sat at her desk in her office. Just another meager day. Her job had become significantly easier ever since Kira began his "revolution". Even someone as devout and full of justice as her had to admit that much. No pony dared to commit any crimes for fear of being executed by "God". There were the few brave exceptions that commited crimes anyways, but they were very easily apprehended, as the police department made sure to work in record speed to capture them before Kira had a chance to murder them. As an extra precaution, the department notified Outcast TV to not put out any more criminal reports until further notice, or be threatened with legal action. She sighed out of boredom, wondering wait Colonel Dynamo must be doing at the time. He was on paid leave to investigate the case so instead of sitting in an office waiting for a crime report he was able to move about freely to investigate the case. He was good intentioned, but knowing him he probably got sidetracked. Aryan shook her head at the thought as she turned and noticed a Pony walking through the front doors of the station. But it wasn't just a pony. It was what was next to him that shocked her. Nightmare hadn't killed anyone in three days. Ever since his meeting he hadn't been able to kill anyone. Not because he was afraid to or because the notebook simply stopped working, but because there had been no crime reports within the last few days. He figured that this was the work of the police station attempting to stop the murders by simply not broadcasting them at all. However, that wasn't gonna fly with him, he thought as he opened the front doors to the police department. He walked into the Hoovington Police Department, giving the secretary his reasoning that he was there for "no other reason but to see if he could get a case to prosecute". He walked straight forward, not giving her a chance to rebut or ask any questions. He didn't have time for mouth breathers. The two ponies spotted each other as he walked besides her office. Aryan saw the giant black humanoid feature flying besides him, her jaw hitting her desk. She flipped her name plate around in record time as Nightmare stared directly at her. Shinigami eyes would be pretty nice right about now. Nightmare invited himself into her office and sat down on the cushioned seat directly in front of Lieutenant Colonel Blues's desk. He allowed himself to sink into the cushion, giving an intimidating grin. Nightmare pulled out his military ID. "Major Nightmare Moonlit, 3rd Divison, Unicorn Company Executive Officer Retired." He introduced himself, awaiting her own introduction, half knowing it would not be that easy to get her name. "Nice to meet you Major." Aryan said, being wary of not saying her name, as at this point she could connect that dots given to her yesterday and figure out that this was Kira. The black monster that Colonel Dynamo mentioned yesterday was undoubtedly what was right in front of her. The last thing she needed was to slip up and let him know her name. "It's customary for military officials to address each other by name and rank "Lieutenant Colonel"." Nightmare mockingly said. Certainly a Lieutenant Colonel at the very least knew of proper military etiquette. "And that would be my name..." The disturbed Lieutenant Colonel replied meekly, unsure what to make of the situation. She tried to keep her eyes focused on Nightmare, as the monster seemed to be trying to attract her attention for some reason. "Tch. I'm not here for formalities anyways." He tossed his back hooves onto the top of her desk, knocking off the jar of lollipops she had sitting there for any children who walked in. It crashed onto the floor, glass and suckers flying in all different direction on the floor. "We both know why I'm here." Nightmare knew that she knew he had something to do with the murders. The look in her eyes, how she was trying her best not to look to her immediate left, where Ryuuk had positioned himself, it all couldn't be a coincidence. Not only that, but after the stunt she pulled on him the other day, having him think he was murdering her, but only a criminal was inexcusable. He had to get her name somehow. He was in no rush though. If he ever frantically needed her name all he would have to do is do the "eye deal". Sure it would cost him half of his life span, but it'd all be worth it in the end. Aryan herself felt Ryuuk's appearance combined with the fact that Colonel Dynamo testified that he was the only one around who could actually see the creature concluded that only those who touched the notebook could see the thing that was standing upright next to her. The look in Nightmare's eyes registered to her as cold and unforgiving, his face seeming like the face of the murderer he was. Before another word could be spoken, the phone rung on her desk. She picked it up, greeting the caller. Her eyes went wide as she shot up from her seat. She hung up the phone and looked at Nightmare. "I'll be taking my leave now so you'll have to go." She said, attempting to not let him sense the fear in her voice. Nightmare snorted and got up from his comfy position. "Before you go I need new case files for me to work on." "That'll have to be another time Major, she said rushing him outta the door, with him shouting words of protest. She looked the door, double checking to make sure it was locked and rushed out of the building. Nightmare shook his head and walked up to the secretary. "Yes, I need to request recent case files. Maj. Nightmare Moonlit with the Prosecutors Office. I need all the cases from the past two weeks besides the ones that I prosecuted." Nightmare waited for the secretary as he watched Aryan Blues rush through the front door. He wondered what it was that made her get up and leave so quickly. It couldn't have been simple fear could it? Aryan Blues rushed out of the front door and ran west. She and the rest of the police committee had been requested to meet up with "L B". Thoughts rushed through her head about the encounter before she ran upon her destination. It was plainly marked "Hotel". She surveyed the outside. It was very dirty and rundown, a sign that said "You do not receive a mint on your pillow for staying here" was hung on the front door. The windows, save for one, was covered in dust and some with glistening mold crawling across the window screens. She entered the Hotel to find the rest of the group, minus Colonel Dynamo all standing around the counter, requesting the room. She joined them around the counter, and they were told that the room was A6, which was a flight of stairs and the last door on the left. Before the group of cops reached the stairs. Colonel Dynamo rushed through the front doors and slammed right into the wall as he attempted to make a sharp right. "FFFFFFFFFFFFFffffff..." Colonel Dynamo stopped himself from cursing as the pain surged through his facial muscles. He rolled on the ground, holding his face as Colonel Sweet Pen shook her head. She trotted up to him, wrapped her hoof around his mane and began dragging him with the group, with moans of pain emanating from his closed mouth. He put up a faint struggle, but gave up after a minute as Sweet Pen's superior size and strength proved to be too much for the young stallion to handle. The rest of the group made it up the stairs in decent time, however, Colonel Dynamo was in great pain as Colonel Sweet Pen maliciously let his head hit every bump on the stairs. Sweet Pen was given the signal to hurry up, which she responded by rushing up the stairs, allowing Dynamo to slam face first into a wall on the way up. Sweet Pen giggled, thinking her evil act was amusing to everyone else. She was frowned upon as a result. Soon enough they were all faced with room A6. Sweet Pen ripped out the patch of hair that she was holding on to, causing Colonel Dynamo to scream an obscenity. Everyone told him to quite down as Colonel Heaveswood opened the door to the room. They were greeted with a blast of sweet coffee scent. They all cautiously entered, a single chair in the middle of the room. The room was barely decorated, however it should be credited that the window was at least wiped down. The chair rotated, revealing a yellow maned unicorn with glistening yellow eyes. She was sitting in an upright fetal position. Her mane was styled in a way to where it looks like she had been struck by lighting, with gray patches on portions of her mane. She wore a pair of goggles on her head. Her hooves had lighting bolt patterns on them, them appearing to animate as she petted a piece of metal that was between her back hooves. The contraption looked to be a petite robot, with conveyor belts on the bottom of it that allowed for movement. It also had claw like hands, seemingly for picking up things. It appeared to be off at the moment. She gave a weird grin, her lips half pursed. "I am "L B". She said, allowing her grin to become a full smile. "Nice to meet you." Everyone else in the room froze.
