“This makes no sense.” Star said as he paced around the small office that he and Storm shared. “What did you mean by something coming out of the Everfree forest?”
“I know what I saw Star it ran into the forest on two legs when it first saw me. Trust me I wish I had a better look at it so I know what it looked like.”
It’s been 8 hours since the meeting had ended. Night ordered to find the two fillies and keep quiet about this so that the town doesn't go into full on panic mode. It’s most likely that she and the mayor don’t want a repeat of the Super twister incident. There was an amber alert declared and search parties were created to cover more ground in case the abductor had already town.
“Look Storm, how did you know what you saw was even true let alone real?” Star asked. “This was when it was around the dead of night and stringer thing have been seen and misunderstood for something else in this town. Pinkie Pie told me so.”
Storm took a moment to think before answering. Star was right, it was near midnight and weirder things had happened here. Maybe it was just a prank Nightmare night was less than a week away and pranks are known to happen near the event.
“Well, you may be right, It could have been a prank. But that still doesn't hide the fact that a two fillies were reported missing that night I found the marks on my house.”
“We may never now detective.” A familiar voice said from above them.
Storm and Star looked up and saw Discord on the ceiling hanging like a spider.
“What the? How the hay did you get up there?” Star asked.
Storm was completely dumbstruck by how Discord was able to stay up there and how did even get in the room without Storm or Star noticing that he was there the whole time.
“Questions for later.” Discord answered as he jumped off the ceiling and landed feet first on the ground. “I just wanted tell you that this whole thing is pretty fishy.”
“Fishy how.” Storm asked starting to get curious.
“The kind that know matter how you peace it together and how matter how much you know about the kidnapping. It just doesn't add up the way it should.”
Discord then snapped his fingers and a brack wall has the same claw marks that were on his house and on the house were the filly went missing.
“What are you getting at?” Star asked inspecting the piece of wall closely. “Is there a new type of bear that we don’t know about?”
Discord shaked his head. “I wish it was. A normal bear can’t just walk right into Ponyville and take two fillies in the upper class part of town and take them out of their house, a two story house.
Discord was actually making sense. None of the things that happened have given the Department and solid lead on who or what did it and why. There has to be something bigger going on. “Do you have any ideas of how or what it is?” Storm finally asked Discord.
“Well, I have something but I don’t think that it will be much help.” Discord once again snapped his fingers and a very thick book appeared, it looked very old the cover had dust on it and it was as big 3 dictionary.
“What in the wild world is that?” Star asked.
“This is a book based on unknown creatures that a scientist had found and then created them for his own personal use. He wanted to make a army of these things to take over equestria. However, the princesses catched wind in his plan a stopped him before he could even start and I took the book.”
“Wait,Wait.” Star said scratching his head in confusion. “Now I’m not the smartest unicorn in equestria but, weren't you and both of princesses enemies? How did you get your hands on the book.”
“Oh that. I just took it before they could notice and had it in safe keeping.” Discord admit. “But besides that this book could help you two with this thing running loose in Ponyville.”
“Have you even read any of it?” Storm asked blowing the dust off the cover of the book.
Discord took a moment to answer. He was talking to himself and counting his fingers while looking up. “Two pages.” He finally answered. Storm and Star rolled there eyes.
Star then begin levitating the book. “Well, if this huge book can help us then we need to go for it. And when I mean we I mean you. Star said while putting it into Storm’s saddle bag.
“Why me?” Storm asked.
“Because.” Star begin with a fake happy tone. “You're the smartest pegasus the Ponyville.” Then his voice changed back to normal. “And we both know that there is no way that i’m going to either read 4 pages and fall asleep or not read it at all.”
Star had a point. He's not the type to read books that are bigger than his horn. “Point taken.” Storm admit. “But what are you going to do?”
Star sighed. “I think I’ll just look around a little bit more before I had home. I can’t just go to sleep at night knowing that two fillies are missing.”
“You and me both brother.” Discord said before teleporting.
Storm was now making his way home to begin reading the book Discord had gave him. Usually Storm would have already been home by now. But because of what he found out about the thing not being a pony but a monster created by a mad scientist didn’t help ease his guard. He kept turning around and double checking shadows of buildings to see if anything was hiding.
Storm finally was home he locked the door put up all the curtains. Now he knew what that thing was he didn’t want to see it in case it came back for some reason.
Storm took the book out and set it on the table in his living room. He opened it and begin to skimmed through the book to find anything interesting. Just as he was about to give up he saw something that catches his eye. It was a drawing of what look like to be a bear with longer arms and had a small object in it’s hand, it looked to be a yo-yo.
There was something written under it. “It carries a pendulum-like device that can cause anypony to be hypnotized if they look at it directly.” He then kept reading and saw something that said it creates it's home by using forbidden magic. Storm kept reading till he started to make up words as he went along. So he decided go to bed and call it a night. When he was in bed he could help but think of that sentence he read. "It carries a pendulum-like device that can cause anypony to be hypnotized if they look at it directly." Did the two fillies look at the device and were hypnotized? Before he could second that thought he went to sleep.
Little did Storm know things are going to get worst for the town.
