Unnoticed Threats

The Ultimate Alicorn

Doctor Whooves was in his office and seeing patients today, they were mostly talking about family problems and personal relationships, Equality was nice enough to divide the work so Doctor Whooves would not be overwhelmed. The most recent patient leaves and Doctor Whooves hears walking, and much to his surprise, the people who came in were Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Sweetie Belle, Applejack, Big Macintosh, Apple Bloom, Granny Smith, Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Sunburst, Spike, and Derpy all walk in,

"What are you all doing here?" Doctor Whooves asked,

"You don't remember, Doctor? We have heard about the stories you were receiving from your patients, so we decided to come today so we can watch and find out what else went under our noses." Twilight Sparkle replied,

"Oh, right, that was today, I didn't think it'd be this many people, though." Doctor Whooves said,

"Well, Doctor, the tales your patients tell have caught the attention of all of us, so we decided to come today so we can find what else we missed." Princess Celestia replied,

"Well, go on and stand to my sides behind the desk." Doctor Whooves replied, and they all do.

Everypony waits for the next patient with Pinkie Pie bouncing up and down,

"I'm so excited for the next patient." Pinkie Pie said,

"You ain't the only one." Applejack replied, and she nudged towards Flurry Heart, who cooed and smiled,

"I'm kind of excited too." Derpy said,

"Stay calm, guys, still though, I don't understand how you all are excited for listening." Rainbow Dash replied, the next patient came in afterwards, it was Gogh, he sat across from Doctor Whooves,

"What's with them?" Gogh asked,

"They're curious about what tales my patients say." Doctor Whooves replied,

"Oh." Gogh said,

"What is on your mind today, Gogh?" Doctor Whooves asked,

"I've been thinking about Eurydice, I wonder how things would've been different if she was still alive right now." Gogh replied,

"Would you have still moved here?" Doctor Whooves asked,

"Probably not." Gogh replied,

"Gogh, I hope you understand, since I am the Princess of Love, I can feel your grief, every time you are sad, I feel it wherever I'm at." Princess Cadence said,

"I know, but I'm still sad about the loss of who would have been my wife." Gogh replied,

"Gogh, remember, we're your friends, and through the power of friendship, we too, feel and share your pain, we will do what we can to help you." Twilight Sparkle said,

"Thank you, all of you." Gogh replied,

"You're welcome, Gogh, it is very tragic about what has happened, it really pains me as well, I will do what I can to help you as well." Princess Celestia said,

"So will I, your grief is painful to watch, I wish to relieve you from it." Princess Luna said,

"What about the rest of you?" Gogh asked, they all nod,

"Thank you." Gogh said,

"We're still looking for them, Gogh, we promise, we will find those two and bring them to justice." Shining Armor said, Gogh nodded,

"Doctor, another thing that has been on my mind was that you said you had met your alternate self as well." Gogh said, surprising the others,

"Indeed, I have." Doctor Whooves replied,

"What, you too?" Starlight Glimmer asked,

"Yes." Doctor Whooves replied,

"I met my alternate self in the human world once, too." Twilight Sparkle said,

"I remember that, she's a friend of ours now." Sunset Shimmer replied,

"Oh yeah, I remember Twilight talking about that." Spike said,

"Can I ask you something, Gogh?" Sweetie Belle asked,

"Go on, Sweetie Belle." Gogh replied,

"What was Eurydice like?" Sweetie Belle asked,

"Friendly, pacifist, singer." Gogh replied,

"Awwww." Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle said together,

"She really would've liked meeting you three." Gogh said,

"Was she nice?" Scootaloo asked,

"Very nice." Gogh replied,

"Ah would've to like meet her, too." Apple Bloom said,

"I don't blame you, but Eurydice would've liked meeting Flurry Heart the most." Gogh replied, Flurry Heart chuckled and smiled,

"Still though, Ah can't believe what happened to ya, to lose yer loved one at such a young age, Ah lost mine a few years back." Granny Smith said,

"Is she on your mind right now?" Sunburst asked, Gogh nodded. Twilight Sparkle was looking down while she listened,

"What's wrong, Twilight?" Derpy asked,

"It's just... the more I hear about her, the more I wish I could revive Eurydice." Twilight Sparkle replied,

"I wish I could revive her, too." Sunburst said, the others were sad,

"Say, Doctor, what was your alternate selves like?" Spike asked,

"There are four alternate versions of me, one is called Doctor Hooves with no W in the last name, another one is called Time Turner, the third alternate me is a Pegasus version of me, and the fourth one is a unicorn version of me, they all tried to replace me, so I had to go to their realms through paintings and come back here, I took them down afterwards." Doctor Whooves replied,

"That was all, Doctor, thank you for listening." Gogh said,

"You're welcome, session is ten bits." Doctor Whooves replied, and Gogh pays him,

"Remember, Gogh, not just Doctor Whooves is here to listen to you, we're all here to help." Princess Celestia said,

"Is that true?" Gogh asked,

"Yes, as your friends, we all feel your pain, we want to ease it anyway we can." Fluttershy replied,

"Eeyup." Big Macintosh said,

"Thank you, I'll keep that in mind." Gogh replied,

"Uh, Gogh, darling, are you in the mood to paint today?" Rarity asked,

"Already finished for today." Gogh replied,

"Oh, well, I'll take a look at it after I'm done here." Rarity said, Gogh smiled and he exited the home.

Twenty minutes pass and a pony enters the home, it was a unicorn, she had a bluish-black coat, her mane and tail were long and straight, they had pink, green, yellow, blue, violet, orange, and white streaks in them, her eyes were dark purple, and her cutie mark was three northern light streaks,

"Oh right, I was having a new patient today." Doctor Whooves said, and the unicorn sat,

"State your name and occupation." Doctor Whooves said,

"Aurora, northern lights creator." the unicorn replied,

"Oh, I remember you, I deliver your mail to your home." Derpy said,

"Yeah, I know you, Derpy, you're famous throughout all of Equestria." Aurora replied, Derpy smiled,

"So, what is on your mind, Aurora?" Doctor Whooves asked,

"There was an incident in my hometown a few days ago, I'm still having trouble accepting it and coming to terms with it." Aurora replied,

"Aurora, trust me, you won't believe how many strange stories I have heard with this job." Doctor Whooves said,

"Yeah, I've heard, I thought you would be able to understand, I'm sorry, Doctor, but I'm another one of those patients who has a strange story." Aurora replied,

"It's alright, I've seen and experienced many strange things myself, go ahead and start." Doctor Whooves said, and Aurora begins her tale.

---

Aurora lived in the northernmost town of Equestria, the town was famous for its northern lights, which Aurora created. Aurora's parents passed away a few days ago, and things have been hard, she had two brothers, one older, one younger, her older brother's name was Borealis, while her younger brother's name was Australis, they both had the same coat color, same mane and tail colors, and same cutie mark as her, Borealis' mane and tail were long while Australis' mane and tail were short. The three were easy to tell apart from one another, Borealis was a stallion, Aurora was a teenager, and Australis was a foal, all three of them were unicorns.

Aurora was at home making dinner with Borealis while Australis sat at the table,

"I wanna help." Australis said,

"You can when you get older, Australis, there are some things in the cabinet you can't reach yet." Aurora replied,

"But I've got a horn." Australis said,

"Have you been practicing your telekinesis?" Borealis asked,

"Yes." Australis replied,

"Show us then." Aurora said, and Australis uses telekinesis his magic aura was a light blue, he gets a white plate from the top of a cabinet and moves it forward, Borealis and Aurora watched with impressment, thinking he may be able to help after all, but Australis sneezed and dropped the plate on the floor and broke it,

"Oh, I'm sorry." Australis said worriedly,

"It's okay, Australis, it's not your fault." Aurora replied,

"Yeah, sneezes can't be controlled, try it again." Borealis said, and Australis does, he got the plate on the table that time,

"You may be able to help after all, keep doing it." Borealis said, and Australis does, they finished making dinner faster than usual.

The three have dinner and converse and laugh as they talk about their days. Aurora thought she was lucky that she and her siblings got along great, because the last thing she wanted to deal with after losing her parents were siblings who did not get along, and argued and fought all the time. The three continue having dinner until they hear an explosion outside, they run out of their house and look around the town, they saw smoke and other ponies looking around, a male unicorn emerged, he had a light turquoise coat, a long bright blue mane and tail, purple eyes, and his cutie mark was a flask with a purple liquid in it and light brown goggles. The unicorn was Darwin, the town's resident mad scientist,

"Ugh, what is Darwin doing this time?" Borealis asked,

"Probably blowing up his own home again." Australis replied,

"Guys, now's not the time, he might be hurt." Aurora said, and they watch.

Darwin comes out and looks, he saw a fusion of his current experiment in front of him, it looked like a pony, it had a unicorn horn, Pegasus wings, a fin of a seapony in place of its tail, it was black like a shadow, and seemed to have had a crystalline body, it turned into mush and dissolved,

"Ha-ha! Yes! Yes! I final did it! I have created the formula to make the ultimate alicorn!" Darwin said,

---

The ponies except for Doctor Whooves were in utter disbelief,

"Did you say the ultimate alicorn?" Princess Celestia asked with shock,

"Yes, please hear me out, this pony was a mad scientist." Aurora replied,

"Still though, one can only become an alicorn by doing a princess worthy deed." Twilight Sparkle said,

"Wasn't that foal there born as an alicorn?" Aurora asked while pointing her front left hoof to Flurry Heart,

"Well, yes, but we don't understand that, either." Princess Cadence replied,

"See, there's more than one way to become an alicorn, and what Darwin became surpassed you five." Aurora said,

"Well, let's continue, our time is limited." Doctor Whooves said, and Aurora continues her tale.

---

Aurora watches with her two brothers and wondered what Darwin was doing, he was panting tiredly at the moment,

"At last! My creation is complete, revenge is mine. Mom, dad, Emma, my child, you all will be avenged!" Darwin said loudly, the ponies were unimpressed,

"Oh, that Darwin." Australis said,

"Revenge? In his dreams." Borealis said,

"It's almost night time, I have to go to work now." Aurora said,

"Okay, see you in the morning." Borealis said,

"Take care." Australis said,

"You two take care, too." Aurora replied, and she hugged Borealis and kissed Australis on the forehead and she went into the house to get her saddlebag and she headed to work.

Aurora went to a factory where she worked with other Pegasi, Aurora used her magic to make the northern light colors while the Pegasi put it in the clouds and skies, Aurora's magic aura was pink. Aurora was the most outgoing and sociable of her siblings, she was friends with almost everypony in the town, not only was she considered one of the most beautiful ponies in the town, but she was also one of the kindest and friendliest ponies others have met.

Aurora continues making the northern lights for the Pegasi to put in the sky, she loved her job, Borealis did the job before he quit, he was leaving soon to join the royal guards in Canterlot. Australis would come over to help when he had the time, the three were well liked by the townsponies, and they all had many friends. Aurora's life was perfect until their parents passed away from an unknown illness, the ponies remember the day of their funeral, Borealis was completely stoic and emotionless, Australis tried to hold his tears back but cried a few, and Aurora was crying her eyes out and bawling loudly, the ponies knew that while Aurora was the most sociable and friendly of the three, she was also the most emotional and sensitive of the siblings, so the other ponies were careful not to upset her.

Aurora was working far into the night and heard a pony coming, it was a male earth pony, he had a dark yellow coat, a short dark blue mane and tail, orange eyes, and his cutie mark was a brown gavel. Aurora did not recognize him,

"Why, hello, beautiful." the earth pony said, Aurora chuckled,

"Thank you, compliments might just get you a new friend." Aurora replied, the earth pony chuckled,

"I'm Comet Strike, I'm friends with Cloud Buster, Houdini, Shadow Trail, Navy, and Crystal Coat." Comet Strike said, Aurora knew all five of them, Cloud Buster was a Pegasus, Houdini was a unicorn, Shadow Trail was an umbrum, Navy was a seapony, and Crystal Coat was a crystal pony, they were all stallions, and Cloud Buster and Houdini bullied Darwin in the past, which made Aurora suspicious of Comet Strike. Aurora keeps working while Comet Strike watches,

"What is your name?" Comet Strike asked,

"Aurora." Aurora replied,

"You know, you'll have to watch me, if you're not careful, I'll steal a kiss from you." Comet Strike said,

"Please don't." Aurora replied, and she continues using her magic to put the northern lights in the sky,

"We're alone right now, my dear, Darwin would be so crazy if you and I were dating." Comet Strike said, Aurora turns around walks to him while using her telekinesis,

"I know Darwin very well, he doesn't have feelings for me, and he had a lover before she was killed, so I doubt he would be jealous." Aurora replied, Comet Strike was infatuated with the pink aura on her horn,

"Your horn." Comet Strike said,

"What about it?" Aurora asked,

"It's beautiful when it glows like that." Comet Strike replied,

"There's nothing special about it, it's only a magic aura when I cast magic with it." Aurora said, Comet Strike reached with his front right hoof and touched her horn while the pink magic aura was around it,

"What are you doing?" Aurora asked,

"Your horn is very pretty with that pink aura around it." Comet Strike replied, which made Aurora very uncomfortable, she tried to think of a lie to get Comet Strike to stop rubbing her horn,

"Uh, Comet Strike, I have to file my reports on my job now." Aurora said,

"No, you don't, this factory doesn't document workdays." Comet Strike replied, Aurora was surprised that Comet Strike knew it was a lie, she tries to think of something else,

"My shift is about to end, I need to get ready to go home." Aurora said,

"You should come home with me instead." Comet Strike replied,

"Sorry, but I have a little brother to watch over." Aurora said,

"How old is he?" Comet Strike asked,

"Six." Aurora replied,

"He's old enough to take care of himself." Comet Strike said,

"No, he isn't." Aurora replied, Comet Strike was still touching her horn, he began caressing it, which made her blush. Aurora tried to think of something to say in order to get Comet Strike to leave, but she only had one thing to say, she sighed, unable to believe what she was about to say,

"Comet Strike, I have to pee." Aurora said,

"I'm sure you can hold it longer for me." Comet Strike replied,

"Comet Strike, I am serious, I really do have to use the bathroom." Aurora said a little sternly,

"Oh, sorry, go on then." Comet Strike replied while taking his hoof off of her horn,

"Thank you." Aurora said, and she went to the bathroom while she stopped using her magic.

Aurora uses the bathroom and finishes quickly, she heads back out and saw Comet Strike was gone,

"Comet Strike?" Aurora asked while she looked around, he was nowhere to be found, she continued her work late into the night and headed home many hours later.

Aurora heads home just when the sun was rising, she hears loud static noises at Darwin's newly built house, which he rebuilt with his magic, light blue and white electricity shot out of the home while Aurora watched with curiosity.

---

Doctor Whooves' eyes were wide at hearing about Darwin,

"Is something wrong, Doctor?" Aurora asked,

"Sorry, it's just that, this Darwin is bringing back memories of my teacher." Doctor Whooves replied, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Applejack had widened eyes afterwards,

"What's the matter?" Aurora asked,

"Doctor Whooves' teacher came to the School of Friendship as a guest last week, he taught in Applejack's class." Twilight Sparkle said,

"Yeah, that's one lesson Ah'll never forget, it was a disaster." Applejack replied,

"What happened?" Aurora asked, and Applejack recalls the events.

---

Doctor Whooves' teacher was in Applejack's class and was about to show the class something he made,

"Gentlemen, behold!" Doctor Whooves' teacher said,

"Ahem!" Ocellus, Yona, Smolder, and Silverstream said angrily along with the other female students,

"Sorry." Doctor Whooves' teacher said, and he tries again,

"Everybody, behold! Corn!" Doctor Whooves' teacher said, everycreature except Silverstream was unimpressed, she flew up close to it,

"Wow! It's as exciting as stairs!" Silverstream said as she had her hands on her cheeks and smiled,

"Good! Then let the mating begin!" Doctor Whooves' teacher said, and the corn laughed, stood up on its own, and several of them shot onto Silverstream, with the husk going onto her face. Silverstream screamed as she hit the wall, the students screamed in terror while Applejack looked on in shock.

---

Aurora had a shocked face at the story,

"What happened to Silverstream?" Aurora asked,

"She had to go home for a few days, the corns that shot onto her injured her, removin' that husk from her face was a hassle." Applejack replied,

"Sounds like something you'd create, Doctor." Derpy said,

"Trust me, you won't believe what kind of things my teacher did." Doctor Whooves replied,

"Can you list a few, Doctor?" Aurora asked,

"One time, he grafted a deer antler to his groin so he can fit in with the rest of the herd." Doctor Whooves replied, everybody around him had shocked faces,

"He did what now?" Apple Bloom asked,

"What else did he do?" Aurora asked,

"He once talked with his flank into a microphone, he called himself Doctor Buttocks." Doctor Whooves replied, surprising the others, Rainbow Dash laughed while Applejack and Granny Smith chuckled a bit,

"What type of pony is Doctor Whooves' teacher?" Princess Luna asked,

"An earth pony." Starlight Glimmer replied,

"What a surprise, we should study this as well." Princess Cadence said,

"Well, that's enough, let's continue, Aurora, our time is limited." Doctor Whooves said, and Aurora continues her tale.

---

Aurora watches Darwin's house and it explodes once again, the neighbors were not bothered because it has happened many times, and it was almost time to wake up anyway,

"Yes, it's done." Darwin said, Aurora did not see him until he stood up, she looked at him in shock,

"I have done it, I have it all, the magic of a unicorn, flight of a Pegasus, strength of an earth pony, the coat of a crystal pony, the shadow powers of an umbrum, and the fin and gills of a seapony, I have become the ultimate alicorn." Darwin said. Darwin walks forward and he had a black shadow-like coat, it was also crystalline, his mane was still the same, but his tail was replaced with the tail of a seapony, and his unicorn horn was now red, and he had Pegasus wings on him, his cutie mark was still the same.

Darwin looks at the moon and watched the sky,

"Just you six wait, the world will soon know what you all did." Darwin said, Aurora watches Darwin as he looks at the moon,

"No, let's leave Borealis be, he never truly done anything bad to me." Darwin said to himself, what surprises most ponies was Darwin was a lot older than he looked, he looked like he was around Aurora's age, but he was almost the same age as Borealis, and the two have never truly gotten along, but they can tolerate one another. The sun begins to rise and Aurora heads home, she saw Borealis and Australis were already awake and having breakfast,

"Welcome home." Borealis and Australis said together, Aurora chuckled,

"Thank you, I'm going to go get some sleep." Aurora replied,

"Alright, off to school now, Australis." Borealis said, and Australis hugged his brother and sister and left, Aurora went to her bedroom and slept in her bed.

Aurora wakes up later and sees she has slept for four hours, she felt that something has woken her up, she listens and realizes it was foals playing outside that woke her up, she smiled and did not mind because she did the same thing when she was a filly, and it angered the adults, there was one incident when Aurora was playing with other fillies and colts in the afternoon, one earth pony stallion got angry with the noises they were making, and ran to them and started physically attacking her and the other foals. Aurora's parents had to take her home and treat her wounds while she cried in pain, Borealis stood by and walked with her to make sure it did not happen again.

Aurora stops looking back and went downstairs, Borealis was practicing for the royal guard boot camp,

"You're up early." Borealis said,

"Foals playing outside woke me up." Aurora replied, Borealis chuckled and continued doing pushups.

Aurora headed outside and walked around, she looked and saw Australis outside, he was hanging out with his friends, and having a good time, much to her happiness. Aurora becomes curious about what Darwin was doing and went to go check on him, but saw that he was not home. Aurora walks around and saw five friends walking together, it was Cloud Buster, Houdini, Shadow Trail, Navy, and Crystal Coat.

Cloud Buster had a white coat, a long pale mane and tail, whitish-blue eyes, and his cutie mark was two white clouds. Houdini had a dark purple coat, he had a long dark red mane that was tied at the bottom, and a dark red tail, his eyes were dark red, and his cutie mark was black chains. Shadow Trail had a black coat, a short black mane and tail, a red horn, his eyes were reddish-brown with green sclerae, he did not have a cutie mark, and was a living shadow. Navy had a dark blue coat, a short and spikey light blue mane, a light blue tail that was divided, light blue hands and hooves, light blue eyes, and had a necklace with a purple pearl on it, he was in his hippogriff form. Crystal Coat had a light pink coat, a long mane and tail with light blue and white streaks in it, green eyes, and his cutie mark was a white hexagon-shaped crystal, he had a crystalline coat.

Aurora watches them and they laugh as they converse, she decides to walk to them,

"Excuse me." Aurora said as she went to them, the five look at her and smile,

"Where's Comet Strike?" Aurora asked,

"Sorry, but Comet Strike is busy right now, he wishes not to be disturbed." Cloud Buster replied,

"Doing what?" Aurora asked,

"Planning, he's the leader of our group." Houdini replied,

"And why is that?" Aurora asked,

"Cause he's the oldest." Shadow Trail replied,

"That reminds me. Shadow Trail, Navy, Crystal Coat, what do you three think of this town?" Aurora asked,

"It's alright, but could be better." Shadow Trail replied,

"Well, it's good, but I still liked the Crystal Empire better." Crystal Coat said,

"It's okay, but I do miss the water." Navy said,

"I see, well, I'll be going now, talk to you guys later." Aurora said, and she walked away.

The five friends walk together and Aurora watched them, Cloud Buster was a member of the royal guard, Houdini was a schoolteacher, and Shadow Trail, Navy, and Crystal Coat did not have any jobs because they been in the town for only six months, but Cloud Buster and Houdini bullied Darwin a lot when he was a foal, Aurora was not sure if Comet Strike was a foalhood bully to Darwin as well, the five friends converse and go their separate paths, Aurora was curious and decided to follow Navy since he was a hippogriff, and she was curious about his kind of people.

Aurora walks behind Navy and watches him, he was snickering and looked at the grave of Darwin's parents, Aurora was immediately suspicious of him, her gut feeling was telling her that he had a role in the deaths of Darwin's family. A black mass appears in front of Navy and it scared him and Aurora, it comes downwards and forms into Darwin. Aurora and Navy were in complete shock at what he looked like, his coat was black and shadow-like, his entire body was crystalline, his eyes were reddish-brown with green sclerae and purple mists coming out of them, his mane was black and flowing, his pony tail was replaced with a seapony tail, its fins were red, he still had his cutie mark, his unicorn horn was red, his front hooves had changed to the feet of a hippogriff with red talons, he had four wings, two Pegasus wings, and two hippogriff wings, red seapony fins on his back, and he had the beak of a hippogriff, which was red.

Aurora and Navy looked on in surprise and shock at what they saw,

"Remember me, Navy?" Darwin asked, to Aurora's relief, Darwin's voice has not changed,

"Yes, I do, your parents died along with your lover and child." Navy said smugly while smiling, Aurora did not like his tone of voice, Darwin began to growl, Navy smiled widely,

"Your family were idiots, and lowlifes, they deserved to die." Navy said, Darwin screams in rage and changes into a shadow form. Aurora was angry at what she heard, Darwin's parents were friends with hers, the two were very friendly and good ponies. Darwin's horn had purple mist on it and he fires a black blast of dark magic towards Navy, he exclaims in terror and flies away, Darwin changes back to his alicorn form and chases Navy by flying,

"Darwin, wait!" Aurora said as she ran to him.

Darwin chases Navy and the two were flying, but Darwin was catching up to him easily, due to him having four wings, he flew two times faster than an average Pegasus, this caught Aurora's attention as she ran and followed him, because she knew there was no way Darwin can master flying with wings that fast. Navy looks back and sees Darwin coming up to him, he becomes scared and looks around, he sees a body of water and he flies to it, he uses his necklace to change to a seapony and he goes into it. Navy swims away but he hears swimming behind him, he looks back and sees Darwin's fins and seapony tail gave him the ability to swim in the water, but he was slower than a typical seapony. Navy smiled and swam away, but Darwin's horn had a purple aura around it and he teleports to behind Navy, he exclaims in shock and swims faster, but Darwin changes to his shadow form and chases him, he was able to keep up with him easily. Navy jumps out of the water while Darwin's shadow form just grows bigger, Navy tries to use the necklace to change back to his hippogriff form, but Darwin shoots black crystals onto it so Navy cannot use it. Navy flops around on the ground and could not move, Darwin had an angry face and he shoots a purple blast at Navy's head,

"Now, to expose what you have done, to everyone else." Darwin said, and a white screen appears in midair, everybody in town sees it and a projection appeared. A picture appears on it and everypony sees Navy break into Darwin's home and he attacked Darwin's parents by scratching them with his talons, there were two black silhouettes there with him as well, but nopony can tell who it was. Darwin's parents scream as they were attacked, Navy laughs as he walks away from the lifeless bodies of Darwin's parents.

Navy was frozen in terror at his crime being exposed, Darwin growls and shoots a purple blast from his horn onto him, Navy screams as the explosion hits him. Aurora looks on in shock at what Darwin did, the smoke clears and Navy was obliterated, only his shadow remained.

Darwin changes back to his alicorn form and looked at the shadow stoically, only Navy's necklace remained, Darwin took it with him,

"Darwin!" Aurora said as she ran to him, he turned around and faced her,

"You can't do that!" Aurora said,

"I have my reasons." Darwin replied,

"But still, it's wrong." Aurora said,

"Are you saying he should have gone unpunished for his role in the death of my family?" Darwin asked,

"Well, no, but you should've let society punish him." Aurora replied,

"Tried it, didn't work." Darwin said, Aurora was shocked, Darwin turned to his shadow form and went away,

"Darwin! No!" Aurora said as she ran after him.

Darwin moves around the land and saw Shadow Trail up ahead, he heard soft growling to his right and looked, he saw Darwin coming. Darwin arrived at him and glared at Shadow Trail while showing his teeth,

"Who are you?" Shadow Trail asked, Darwin turned into his alicorn form and revealed himself,

"It's me, Shadow Trail." Darwin replied, Shadow Trail became shocked and he immediately turned into his shadow form, knowing exactly why Darwin has come after him. Shadow Trail's horn had purple mist on it and he shoots a blast of dark magic to Darwin, Darwin moves around and dodges it, the two were making black crystals come out of the ground. Shadow Trail uses his magic and puts black crystals on Darwin's horn so he could not cast magic, Darwin simply grabbed the crystals with his hippogriff talons and took it off. Shadow Trail becomes surprised and shoots a blast of dark magic at Darwin, but he moves around and dodges it, he then shoots a purple blast at Shadow Trail's forehead and another projection popped up.

Everypony sees the other projection and it was the same one as the one with Navy, but they see Shadow Trail to his left and behind him, Aurora realizes that Shadow Trail also had a role in taking the lives of Darwin's family because he put black crystals in their horns so they cannot cast magic. The projection goes down shortly afterwards,

"No! My good pony image! Ruined!" Shadow Trail said in shock, Aurora was shocked to see that Shadow Trail cared more about his public image than morals,

"Exposure complete, time to put you down." Darwin said, and he fires a big purple blast at Shadow Trail, he screams and it fades away, he was obliterated as well, only his shadow on the ground remained.

Aurora looked on in horror while Darwin changed back to his alicorn form,

"DARWIN!!" Aurora yelled as she ran to him,

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Aurora asked angrily,

"It is simple, Aurora, they took the lives of my family, so I'm taking theirs as revenge." Darwin replied,

"Darwin, you need to stop this." Aurora said with tears in her eyes,

"Why?" Darwin asked,

"You will become even worse than them, you are stooping lower than your targets." Aurora replied,

"Don't give me that crap." Darwin said, Aurora became shocked at what she heard,

"You just think what I'm doing is wrong because it's wrong to you, everyone's beliefs on what is right and what is wrong is different, while it's wrong to you, it's right to me, just stay out of my way." Darwin said, and he flew away with his Pegasus and hippogriff wings.

---

Aurora was sitting across from the other ponies present with tears in her eyes,

"I see, so Darwin is one of those types of people." Doctor Whooves said,

"What do you mean he's one of those types of people?" Aurora asked tearfully,

"There are people out there who's belief what is right and what is wrong is different from most of us, it's likely his belief on what is justice is different from most people as well." Doctor Whooves replied,

"What causes someone to think like that?" Aurora asked tearfully,

"Usually, past experiences, and cultural beliefs." Doctor Whooves replied,

"I tried to tell him that he will be worse than the people he was targeting, but he didn't care." Aurora said tearfully,

"I'm sorry, Aurora, but I know from experience, sometimes, taking a life is more effective than forgiving your enemies." Doctor Whooves replied,

"Why? Why does the world have to be like that?" Aurora asked,

"I'm sorry, Aurora, and it is unfortunate, I have been alive for many years, most of the time, in almost every situation, nothing is straightforward, everything is twisted, there is no black or white morality in such situations, only gray." Doctor Whooves replied, Aurora was crying softly at what Doctor Whooves said,

"Uh, Doctor, can you please give us some insight on what you mean?" Twilight Sparkle asked,

"There are times in life where the hero and the villain are not what they seem, the hero may be saving the world, but they are doing bad things, such as stealing and taking lives in order to save the world, while the villain may be doing bad things, but they have good intentions and noble goals, there are also times when it looks like it's clear who the hero and who the villain is, but if you dig into the history, watch their actions, and learn about them, who is the hero and who is the villain is actually reversed, one of the most common ones I have seen and heard is the villain having lines he or she will not cross, but the hero will, for example, the villain will not take the life of a child or an animal, but the hero will. I can go on forever about this, but I'll stop here since time is limited." Doctor Whooves explained, surprising the others,

"So, what you are saying is that sometimes, the villains do bad things because they good intentions, while the hero will also do bad things, but it is so it will stop the villain." Rainbow Dash said,

"That's one way, there are many, but Aurora has to continue, our time is limited." Doctor Whooves replied, Aurora sighed,

"Okay, I'm ready to continue." Aurora said, and she continues her tale.

Aurora runs after Darwin as he flies through the air and he was going to Crystal Coat, who was gloating and posing in front of regular earth ponies,

"That's right, you regular ponies, I've got a crystal coat because I'm special, unlike you regular ponies." Crystal Coat said, Aurora groaned in disgust while shaking her head. Darwin flies to behind Crystal Coat, the four earth ponies look on in shock and run away, Crystal Coat turns around and saw Darwin, he landed on the ground,

"Who are you?" Crystal Coat asked,

"I am Darwin, the ultimate alicorn." Darwin replied,

"Oh, it's you, hope you like the spit and kicks I put on your family's graves." Crystal Coat said smugly while smiling, Darwin glared at him, he shoots a purple blast at Crystal Coat to zap him, but he strafes to his left and runs to Darwin, he turns around and then tries to buck him with both of his hind legs, it did not do well, Crystal Coat looks and sees Darwin had a crystalline coat as well,

"I too, have a crystalline coat, my body's defense is equal to yours." Darwin said, Crystal Coat becomes scared and runs, Darwin flies after him while Aurora runs to him to stop him.

Crystal Coat runs as fast as he could to escape Darwin, unfortunately for him, he was an earth pony without the crystalline coat, and thus, was powerless against Darwin. Darwin flies down and lands on his back, he grunts as he fell,

"Now, to expose what you did." Darwin said, and he shoots a purple beam to Crystal Coat's head and a projection pops up for everypony to see.

The projection showed Crystal Coat attacking Darwin's wife, he ran to her before she could zap him, he bucks her with his hind legs and hits her in the stomach, she screamed as she flew through the air, Crystal Coat smiled at seeing her fall, he walked to her while she was down,

"I'm not aiming to take your life, I'm just taking yours to take the life of the child." Crystal Coat said, Darwin's wife screamed and Crystal Coat bucked her in the head. The projection changes and Crystal Coat was at the graves of Darwin's family, he spat on them and bucked them, damaging the gravestones,

"Hope you all rot, I'll enjoy watching Darwin's suffering." Crystal Coat said smugly while smiling, and the projection went down.

Crystal Coat was paralyzed in terror at his crimes being exposed, Darwin then shot a purple blast out of his horn and obliterated Crystal Coat, he screamed in the pain in the process, it faded, and all that remained was his shadow on the ground.

Aurora has had enough and ran to Darwin, she zapped Darwin in rage and he grunted as he fell, he stood up and faced her,

"DARWIN, THIS HAS GONE ON LONG ENOUGH!!" Aurora yelled angrily,

"I have my reasons, Aurora." Darwin replied,

"But what you're doing is wrong!" Aurora said,

"And it's right for them to take lives and go unpunished?" Darwin asked,

"That's what we got justice for!" Aurora replied,

"They escaped justice, that's why I've delivering it, myself." Darwin said,

"This isn't justice!" Aurora replied angrily,

"You don't have the full story." Darwin said,

"I don't need it to know the difference from right and wrong." Aurora replied,

"I would like to know why you're judging my actions when you don't even have the details on what happened. Even your brothers have some knowledge on my situation." Darwin said, Aurora was speechless, she did find it a bit suspicious that Borealis and Australis were not with her, they normally would be here to help her and support her,

"Don't believe me? I have proof right here." Darwin said, and he fires a projection of himself grieving at the graves of his family, he was on his hind knees with his head down, crying softly, Borealis and Australis walk behind him, but they stop and look at him,

"Hey, look, it's Darwin." Australis said,

"Yeah, he just lost his family, somepony took their lives." Borealis replied, Australis smiled mischievously and was about to sneak up on him and scare him, Borealis touched Australis' left shoulder with his front left hoof,

"Don't, Australis." Borealis said, Australis looked at him with surprise,

"What happened to Darwin was tragic, and shouldn't happen to anypony, your child passing away before you is the biggest fear of anypony, we may not like Darwin, but he didn't deserve this, if there's anything you should feel now, it's sympathy, just leave him be for now." Borealis said, Australis was very surprised, because Borealis usually did not have nice things to say about Darwin,

"Come now, let's go buy the groceries." Borealis said, and the two walked away.

The projection goes down and Aurora was in disbelief,

"See, your brothers only knew a small part, but it was very important, they know exactly why I'm doing this, and that is why they're not here for you." Darwin said, Aurora was still in disbelief, she let out a disappointed grunt and ran home while Darwin watched her.

Aurora ran into her house and saw Borealis and Australis were playing a card game at the table,

"How could you two?" Aurora asked sternly and sadly,

"How could we what, sis?" Australis asked,

"Know something about Darwin's situation and not stop what he's doing." Aurora replied, Borealis and Australis were caught off guard,

"Wait, what's going on?" Borealis asked,

"Darwin is killing the ponies who killed his family!" Aurora replied, Borealis and Australis were a bit surprised,

"I didn't think he would actually go through with it." Australis said,

"Me neither." Borealis replied,

"Why aren't you two stopping him? Why weren't you two there to help me?" Aurora asked a little angrily,

"We didn't know." Australis replied,

"What?!" Aurora asked with shock,

"That's true, Aurora, we didn't." Borealis said,

"Didn't you guys hear and see the projections?!" Aurora asked, losing her temper, Borealis and Australis become shocked, realizing they were caught,

"Wait, I knew it! You guys do know!" Aurora said angrily,

"We have no reason to go after Darwin." Borealis replied,

"But he's taking lives!" Aurora replied,

"Lives of the guilty." Australis said,

"IT'S STILL A CRIME!! WHY WON'T YOU TWO HELP ME?!" Aurora asked angrily,

"Aurora, who do you think is the guilty one? The one taking revenge out of grief over the loss of his family? Or the ones who took his family away from him in the first place?" Borealis asked calmly, Aurora was speechless for a minute,

"They're both guilty." Aurora replied in a calmed down but still angry tone,

"Which one do you think is more guilty?" Borealis asked, Aurora could not decide, because they were both equally guilty to her, she breathes hard while she tries to decide, her brothers realize she could not, she screams in rage while clutching her head, she ran to her bedroom while Borealis and Australis watched her and shrugged.

---

The ponies who were listening to Aurora's tale were a little surprised,

"Care to explain why you screamed?" Doctor Whooves asked,

"Because I had no idea on what happened, while everypony else did, I was so frustrated, I ended up crying in my pillow afterwards, that was also the very first time I ever fought with my siblings." Aurora replied,

"You still bothered by it?" Applejack asked,

"Kind of." Aurora replied,

"I know that feeling." Fluttershy said,

"I think we all do." Twilight Sparkle replied,

"What about you, Doctor, who do you think is more guilty?" Aurora asked,

"The ponies who took the lives of his family, of course, they're the ones who made him like that in the first place." Doctor Whooves asked,

"But Darwin's a criminal, too." Aurora replied,

"Aurora, listen to me, Darwin wouldn't be called a criminal in this situation, what he would be called is a vigilante, he is delivering justice his own way, the way he believes is right." Doctor Whooves said,

"What? What about the criminals?" Aurora asked,

"There are a lot of criminals out there, the justice system can't catch all of them, that is why vigilantes exist, if they escape the justice of society, then they will deliver their own form of justice, and usually, it's taking that criminal's life." Doctor Whooves replied, Aurora was speechless but shocked,

"Why do such people exist?" Aurora asked tearfully,

"Because they feel the justice of society is not enough, or those who wronged them escaped justice, so they take matters into their hands or hooves, I'm sorry, Aurora, but that's just how the world is." Doctor Whooves replied, Aurora put her head down and cried a bit, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Derpy went to go comfort her,

"Aurora." Princess Celestia said, Aurora held her head up,

"Yes, Princess Celestia?" Aurora asked,

"Do you feel like stopping?" Princess Celestia asked, Aurora wiped her tears away,

"I'm ready to continue." Aurora replied, and she continues her tale.

---

Aurora was on her bed and crying into her pillow, she felt like she was left out of whatever was happening, Borealis and Australis did not mind because they knew she was just acting on her emotions, like she always has, so they just leave her be, and continue playing card games.

A loud blast is heard outside and Aurora looks out the window, she saw Darwin chasing Houdini, Aurora ran outside to go see them, Borealis and Australis,

"Wait, Aurora." Borealis said, but it was too late.

Aurora ran to Darwin and tried to stop him, Houdini looked back and fired red zaps at Darwin, he was currently in his shadow form and dodged them, he teleported towards Houdini as well, he fires a zap at Houdini's horn and puts black crystals on it, shocking Houdini.

Darwin fires a purple beam at Houdini's forehead and a projection comes up. It showed Darwin trying to make friends when he was a foal, only for Houdini to intervene and cut him off from them, along with stealing his lunch. The projection changes and Houdini was talking to foals at the school,

"Everypony, there's this unicorn in town named Darwin, he is a bad pony, and a nerd, and you all know what we do to nerds." Houdini said, the projection changes to the foals physically attacking Darwin at his home,

"Good job, kids, you all got extra credit." Houdini said,

"Yay." the foals said, Aurora was shocked. The projection changes and she saw Houdini standing outside of Darwin's house while screaming was heard,

"Get back here!" Darwin said angrily, and Navy, Shadow Trail, and Crystal Coat run out while Darwin came out, Houdini pointed his front left hoof,

"That's him! That's the culprit!" Houdini said,

"What?" Darwin asked, the projection changed to Darwin being in court and was found guilty for the deaths of his family, Houdini was in the crowd, along with Cloud Buster, Navy, Shadow Trail, and Crystal Coat, the five laugh at him while he was taken to the dungeon.

The projection goes down and Darwin growls, he begins to shoot a blast at Houdini, but Aurora zapped him and knocked him back, Houdini used that time to run away,

"What are you doing?!" Darwin asked,

"This can't go on, if you're not going to stop, Darwin, then I will no choice but to fight you." Aurora replied, Darwin growled and shoots a blast at Aurora's horn, she tries to fire back but could not, she looks and saw black crystals on her horn,

"My horn!" Aurora said with shock while she looked, Houdini turns around and throws a rock at her and hits her, she exclaims in shock and Houdini runs away while laughing. Darwin teleports to in front of him and above him, Houdini tried to run around him, but Darwin shoots a purple blast at him and obliterates him, Houdini screamed in the process, and only his shadow remained.

Aurora watched in horror as Darwin continued his revenge, a spear is thrown at Darwin but he uses telekinesis to hold it up, he looked up and saw Cloud Buster coming, he was in his royal guard uniform,

"You're under arrest, Darwin." Cloud Buster said, Darwin flew around with his four wings and was twice as fast as Cloud Buster, he could not keep up. Darwin went behind him and grabbed his wings with his hippogriff hands and Cloud Buster fell onto the ground, Darwin shoots a purple zap at the back of Cloud Buster's head, and a projection came up.

Cloud Buster was bullying Darwin as a foal, and severing whatever friends he tried to make, along with locking him in the classroom when class ended, he was always late and got in trouble. The projection changes and Cloud Buster was standing on the roof of Darwin's house, Navy, Shadow Trail, and Crystal Coat run out, Houdini accused Darwin of being culprit, and Cloud Buster landed behind him and held him down, he then arrested Darwin and took him to court,

"Please, you have to believe me, I'm innocent." Darwin said,

"Tell that to the judge." Cloud Buster replied, and he took him away. The projection changes and Cloud Buster was with the other royal guards in the town,

"There is no need to investigate the crime, the evidence was very specific, it all pointed to Darwin being the culprit." Cloud Buster said,

"But we didn't even get to check it." a male earth pony royal guard replied,

"I already did, it was very clear, no need to investigate." Cloud Buster said,

"Well, if you say so." a male unicorn royal guard replied, and Cloud Buster left with a smile on his face.

The projection goes down and Darwin proceeded to blast Cloud Buster and obliterate him, he screamed in pain, and only his shadow remained,

"Okay, one more." Darwin said to himself, and he flew up into the clouds, he stood on one and looked around, he sees his next target and teleports there.

Aurora looks around and tries to find Darwin, she hears him appear to the northwest of her position, so she runs there. Aurora arrives and sees Darwin, and to her surprise, Comet Strike,

"I've waited long for this kill." Darwin said,

"I am superior to you in every way." Comet Strike replied,

"Not this time." Darwin said, and Comet Strike ran to him and bucked him with his hind legs, he pressed his teeth against one another, Darwin's crystalline coat made him more durable than before,

"Now, to expose what you done." Darwin said, Comet Strike moved back in fear,

"No, Darwin, please, Celestia have mercy." Comet Strike said, and Darwin shoots a purple beam at Comet Strike's head.

A projection comes up and it showed Comet Strike and Darwin as foals, Comet Strike bullied Darwin by taking his stuff away, and his lunch, it was like a typical bully routine, Comet Strike was a jock, and Darwin was a nerd, Comet Strike had many friends while Darwin had none. The projection changes to Darwin befriending a female earth pony as a foal, only for Comet Strike to get involved in it and sever their friendship, Darwin cried while Comet Strike smiled at him. The projection changes to many years later where they are adults, the mare gives birth to a colt, only for Comet Strike to leave her and she had to raise the child on her own. Projection changes several times to show Comet Strike seducing female unicorns, Pegasi, and earth ponies, he got them all pregnant and left them once when the foal was born.

The projection changes and Comet Strike was in Canterlot, reading about what was going on in the town, he found that Darwin has gotten married, so he left. The projection changes to him meeting up with Cloud Buster, Houdini, Crystal Coat, Shadow Trail, and Navy,

"For you three who don't know me, my name is Comet Strike, I'm an old friend of Cloud Buster and Houdini, I have a job for you five, we're going to destroy Darwin's life." Comet Strike said,

"Why him for?" Navy asked,

"Because I don't like him, never did ever since we were foals, and if I don't like somepony, then nopony can." Comet Strike replied,

"What do you have in mind?" Cloud Buster asked,

"Since Darwin has a child coming, we're going to target his family, we're going to take the lives of all of them, and let Darwin take the blame, think of it as a prank. Shadow Trail, Navy, and Crystal Coat, you three take their lives, Cloud Buster, you arrest him and make sure none of the royal guards investigate, and Houdini, you act as a witness so we can have somepony say they saw him in court, and I'll do my part." Comet Strike replied,

"You always did take pleasure in a job well done." Houdini said,

"True, but Darwin's suffering is my pleasure, too. He doesn't know I'm coming back, we haven't seen one another ever since we were foals, just imagine his face when he discovers I've returned." Comet Strike replied, and they snicker.

The projection changes to Darwin being in court, and Comet Strike was the judge,

"Comet Strike, is that you?" Darwin asked,

"Yes, but I'm not here to look back, Darwin, the evidence speaks, and we have a reliable witness, you're guilty, Darwin, I sentence you three months in the dungeon." Comet Strike replied,

"What?! But what about my testimony?" Darwin asked,

"Don't need one, the evidence was solid, and there were five people who saw you, they're all here in this courtroom." Comet Strike replied,

"But there should be a trial, I can prove I'm innocent." Darwin said,

"No, we have evidence of your guilt, three ponies saw you attacking your family, two heard you, the three ran out in fear when you tried to take their lives to cover up your own crimes, the first pony who heard you revealed your crime, and the second one restrained you, giving you a trial will be a waste of time." Comet Strike replied, Darwin was shocked with tears in his eyes,

"Take him away, boys." Comet Strike said, and the royal guards take him away while Cloud Buster, Houdini, Shadow Trail, Crystal Coat, and Navy laugh at him, and Comet Strike smiled as Darwin was taken to the dungeon. The projection changes to today and Comet Strike was outside early in the morning, the other five conspirators ran to him,

"Comet Strike, it's Darwin, he's transformed himself." Houdini said,

"It's fine, we can stay out here in the public, Darwin is still hated by the townsponies." Comet Strike replied,

"You sure?" Cloud Buster asked,

"Of course, just hang out and have fun, I'll catch up to you guys tomorrow." Comet Strike replied,

"Well, if you say so." Navy said, and they walk away, Comet Strike proceeded to pack his things and was getting ready to leave the town.

The projection goes down and Aurora could not believe it, Comet Strike was the mastermind behind the deaths of Darwin's family, he also sacrificed his five friends just so he could escape, and he was planning to get her pregnant and was going to leave her with her to tend to the child on her own.

Comet Strike was in tears at his crimes being exposed,

"No, please, don't do this, Darwin." Comet Strike said tearfully, Darwin looked at him angrily,

"May your soul rot in the afterlife." Darwin said, and he blasted him, he screamed and was obliterated, leaving only his shadow behind.

Darwin sighed in relief and had tears fall from his eyes,

"Mom, dad, Emma, my child, you have been avenged." Darwin said, Aurora cannot believe it has been six months since their deaths, Aurora was scared, so she ran back to her home.

Aurora arrives home and Borealis and Australis saw black crystals on her horn, the two look at it, the door opens and Darwin comes in, Borealis got defensive,

"What did you do to my sister?" Borealis asked,

"I'm not here to fight, I'm just here to remove the crystals." Darwin replied,

"Wait, you're not here to take our lives?" Australis asked,

"No need to, my revenge is done." Darwin replied,

"So what are you going to do now?" Borealis asked,

"I'm going to continue living my life, I wish to be left in peace." Darwin replied, Borealis and Australis agreed, Darwin uses his magic to take the crystals off of Aurora's horn, she can use it again, and Darwin went out.

Darwin walked forward and Aurora ran out,

"Everypony, this pony has taken the lives of six people." Aurora said, the ponies just looked at her, but did not react,

"What? Why aren't you ponies arresting him?" Aurora asked,

"Let it go, Aurora, Darwin had his reasons." a male earth pony replied,

"What? But what about their lives?" Aurora asked,

"We've seen what they did, Aurora, even the law enforcement punished him for a crime he didn't commit, Darwin is innocent." a male unicorn replied,

"Come on! He just committed murder!" Aurora said angrily,

"Let it go, Aurora." Borealis said from behind, Aurora exclaimed in shock, Australis was standing to his right,

"Yes, Darwin took lives, but his reasons were justified, and he was framed for a crime he didn't commit, despite his punishers knowing full well he was innocent, let him go, Aurora, Darwin's suffered enough." Borealis said, Aurora cannot believe that even her family sided with Darwin, Aurora felt tears rolling down her eyes because she felt helpless once again, she ran into her bedroom crying and stayed there for the rest of the day while Darwin walked off scot-free.

---

Aurora was sitting at across the table while the others looked at her,

"What happened afterwards?" Doctor Whooves asked,

"Borealis left to join the royal guard the next day, and I took a vacation from my job, Australis will be doing my job for me." Aurora replied,

"Are you still frustrated and upset, Aurora?" Derpy asked,

"Yes, I am." Aurora replied, some of the ponies comfort her,

"Who did you think was right, Doctor?" Aurora asked,

"I'm sorry, Aurora, but I'm going to have to side with Darwin on this." Doctor Whooves replied,

"What? You too?" Aurora asked,

"As I said, this is not straightforward, this is complicated, Darwin did do wrong things, but he did it for the right reasons." Doctor Whooves replied, Aurora was crying a bit from it, Princess Celestia touches Aurora's right shoulder with her front left hoof,

"Aurora, how do you see it?" Princess Celestia asked,

"Darwin committed murder, regardless of reason, so did the other six, they're all equally guilty to me." Aurora replied,

"Perhaps you should see things differently, those six did cause him to become like that." Princess Luna said,

"I know, but still." Aurora replied,

"Where is Darwin staying now?" Princess Cadence asked,

"My hometown, I told Australis to send me weekly letters on Darwin so he doesn't cause any problems." Aurora replied,

"Let's go then, we have a pony to get." Shining Armor said,

"Are you going to arrest him?" Aurora asked,

"Well, I was hoping we could bring him here and have him speak, yes, I'm still going to arrest him, but if possible, we also wish to help him, he has a lot of grief within him as well." Shining Armor replied, Aurora smiled,

"Well, we're out of time, Aurora, till next time, price is ten bits." Doctor Whooves said, and Aurora paid him, and she was about to go out,

"Wait, Aurora, there's something I want to ask you." Twilight Sparkle said,

"Yes?" Aurora asked,

"What is that spell Darwin used to expose their crimes?" Twilight Sparkle asked,

"It is a slightly advanced spell that allows the spell caster to reveal memories of that person to others, the caster chooses the memories, it's very accurate, I've tried it once, myself." Aurora replied,

"I see, well, that's all I wanted to know, let's go get Darwin." Twilight Sparkle said, and Aurora headed out along with everybody else.

Aurora walked forward and saw Casanova in front of her,

"Is everything alright?" Casanova asked,

"No, I've been wondering if what I did was right." Aurora replied,

"Well, if it's what you think was right, then you're not completely wrong." Casanova said, Aurora smiled,

"I'm Casanova, by the way." Casanova said,

"Oh, so you're Casanova, my mom dated you once." Aurora replied,

"I thought you looked familiar." Casanova said, Aurora chuckled,

"Can you look over my brother for me?" Aurora asked,

"Sorry, but I have a son and an adopted son to watch over." Casanova replied,

"Oh." Aurora said,

"Well, come with me, let's get you some comfort." Casanova said, Aurora smiled and followed him.

Aurora arrived at his home and met Equality and Marine,

"Are you here to be another surrogate sister for me?" Marine asked,

"Sorry, but no, I have my own little brother to watch over." Aurora replied,

"You know, I'm also a patient of Doctor Whooves." Equality said,

"Really?" Aurora asked, Equality nodded,

"What's your story?" Aurora asked, and Equality talked about it, it made Aurora speechless,

"A town with no female ponies?" Aurora asked,

"Yeah, there are females there now." Equality replied,

"I see." Aurora said,

"Go on, take your time here, make yourself at home." Casanova said,

"Thank you, you're as kind as my mom said before she passed away." Aurora replied,

"How long are you staying?" Marine asked,

"A week." Aurora replied, and she began to unwind. A week passes quickly and Aurora left Ponyville and went back to her hometown to continue her job.
