Chapter 2
Enter Iron Claw
I walked on the the stage and looked out upon the thousands of screaming fans that filled the Manehatten arena in the setting sun. I smiled and quickly grabbed the mic
"ARE YOU READY TO ROCK?!" I yelled
The crowd cheered loudly and I took it as a yes
"Alright folks this ones an oldie but a goodie so get ready cause Here I go again"
[youtube=www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3MXiTeH_Pg]
I don't know where I'm goin'
But, I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises
In the songs of yesterday
And I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time
But, Here I go again
Here I go again
Tho' I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Luna, I pray you give me strength to carry on
'Cos I know what it means
To trot along the lonely street of dreams!
And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to trot alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
I'm just another heart in need of rescue'
Waiting on love's sweet charity
An' I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my days
'Cos I what it means
To Trot along the lonely street of dreams
And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to trot alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
But, here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again
I then slipped into a higher octave before belting out
Here I gooooooo
Power Chord then rocked out to his solo masterfully hitting every note with precision and heart before turning it over to me
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to trot alone
'Cos I know what it means
To trot along the lonely street of dreams
And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to trot alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
But, here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go
Here I go again...
As the song faded away I felt a buzzer go off and I turned and nodded to Violet before twirling in the air and disappearing before reappearing in my headquarters along side the others
"What do we got this time guys?" I asked trotting towards my costume
"looks like a mob attack on the corner of 7th avenue and 14th street" said Violet looking on to our main computer
"Let's just hope old Cold Case doesn't get there first" said Drumroll
"Alright kid this is a recon and investigation mission. Just get in there find your clues and get out before the cops get there. Got it?" asked Power Chord
" I got it Pops see you in a flash" I said as I flew out the hole in the ceiling and towards my target
'See you in a flash? Seriously? Geez I really need a new catchphrase' I thought as I came up at my target
I landed and quickly realized what had happened here. It was a drive by shooting using magipistols. I could smell it in the air. The residue of magic lingered as I searched the crime scene. Suddenly I noticed something. It was a large dark brown feather, much too big to belong to a pony. I put in a bag before continuing my search. Minutes later after finding a few hoof prints I heard the sound of sirens
"Well I guess that 's my cue to leave" I said before taking off and heading back towards headquarters
Meanwhile Detective Cold Case arrives at the scene
He was a semi buff grey unicorn who sported a very fancy looking blonde mane and tail with an magnifying glass for a cutie mark
"Begin your search men and if you find any sign of that vigilante Nightfury I want you to report straight to me!" he yelled
"I will find out who is behind that mask and he will pay for what he did " whispered Cold Case
Back with me I entered the headquarters
"I'm back!" I yelled
"Good. What'd ya find?" Asked Violet
" Not much. Just a few hoof prints and this feather. Couldn't really do an extensive search before Coldy's boys got on me" I said
"Well let's have a look" she said before she took my evidence and ran it through a large machine
"Hey where's Vinyl? I haven't seen her all day." I asked
"She and her marefriend Octavia were going to the Grand Galloping Gala tonight" Explained Violet
"And why weren't we invited to the triple G?" I asked
"Cause the canterlot snobs hate our music" commented Drumroll
The machine made several noises before a bunch of stuff showed up on screen
"Oh no" muttered Violet
"What is it?" I asked
"While the hoof prints are the victims the feather is........Iron Claw's" Explained Violet
"Iron Claw....*Sigh*"
*16 years earlier*
(Blazewing's POV)
I trotted down the last of the Manehatten streets I had to patrol for the night when suddenly...
"Well if it isn't our boy Blazewing! You ready to pay up?" asked the large griffin
"Look Iron Claw, I told you I'd pay next week"
"Ya know what Blaze I'll cut ya a deal if you can pay within the next five seconds I won't have my boys shoot you into a thing of swiss cheese"
"But-"
"5"
"Please!"
"4"
"No!"
"3"
"Goodbye Blitzy" I cried
"2"
I closed my eyes "I Love you baby girl"
"1"
(Fret Shredder's POV)
"Are you sure it's him?" I asked
"Positive. One hundred percent DNA match" replied Violet
I sighed "Then we got a battle on our hooves"
A Whitesnake song.
