The Black Mystery

Location-Canterlot High (closet)
Time-12:34
Dawn

Research has been done on the Ice Hood.
The subject seems to be affected by some sort of magical substance.
I will be informing you on findings about The Shadow as well.
From djhdushduis

He stumbled as someone knocked on the closet door.

“Is anyone in there? Hello?”

Sent. Damn.

“Well, I guess I’ll be informing them as djhdushduis.”

“Hello?”

He walked out and put his laptop in his bag.

Sunset Shimmer was there.

“Um. Not my finest moment.”

“Lunch has started. Come on.”

He walked over to the cafeteria, took out a lunch box, and ate. The 7 friends were in front of him.

“Did you see the news last night?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Yes. The Botanical Gardens are finally adding Birch to their collection. About time.” Cyrus replied.

“Not what I meant. I mean The Shadow!”

“Yeah! He went up behind that meanie man. And WAH-BLAM! Knocked him out and saved the hostages!” Pinkie Pie replied.

“He saved those people.” Fluttershy added.

“And he was darn tootin strong!” Applejack said.

“And those silk robes were simply beautiful.” Rarity added. They all stared at her.

“What? They looked nice.”

“I think he needs to be put in check.” Sunset Shimmer shot back.

“What?”

“You heard me. He’s a vigilante. Not a police officer. There is no code he abides by like the police. He choked that guy! Could have killed him. He needs some way we can trust him. Otherwise we should track him down and arrest him.”

“Gee, thanks for the vote o’ confidence.” Cyrus thought.

“What do you think?” They asked.

“Huh?”

What do you think of the robe wearing vigilante?”

“Uh. Well. While Sunset brings up reasonable arguments, and he did save those people. But I have my own view on the subject.”

“NO! Please..” The woman was being robbed.
“A guy who runs around in robes punching criminals..”

Cyrus punched the mugger and threw over a dumpster in the alley.
He saved her.

“Well, he clearly has issues.”

“Okay. I need to head to the bathroom. Bye..? I guess.” He stood up walked away and went outside.

And on to the roof to test his abilities.

He closed his laptop, and went down the stairs in time for class.

“Cyrus. You got out of my control. How?”

“Wasn’t too hard. I was inspired by my failure too stop what I could have earlier. My anger got the best of me.”

“I want to know. How will I die if I take you of of me?”

“I bonded to your nerves. Too much. If you stop me from being bonded, they will shut down.”

“Killing me instantly. Well done. You win a million dollars for being an absolute idiot.”


Location-Joes donuts.
Time-4:04

Cyrus rushed through the door.

“4 minutes late man! C’mon! You have 1 big order.”

“What is it?”

“12 boxes, all boxes half a dozen. We have a 15 minute guaranteed order arrival.”

“How far?”

“80 blocks. In 15 minutes. Your bike is ready.”

He stared at him.


He rode through the streets trying not to be run over. Going smoothly so far.

A taxi opened their door.

“Oh god!”

He grabbed the donuts and leapt off the bike, it soaring into an alleyway. Perfect landing.

“How’d you do that?” A kid asked.

“Uh, eat your broccoli!” He ran trying not to be late.

“Says the guy with a bunch of donuts.”

He put on his mask. 36 blocks. He was very fast. The costume appeared out of nowhere.

“It only takes the mask to be put on?!”

He jumped off the ground and onto a lamppost.

And dropped down onto a car.

“Hey can I get a lift?”

The car honked.

“I’ll take that as a no.”

He leapt off and ran as fast as he could.

8 blocks. 2 minutes.

“Almost there..”


He skidded to stop. He was there.

He knocked on the door.

“How much time?”

4:23

“4 minutes late.”

“C’mon, answer! I’m gonna get fired!”

He looked at himself.

“I’m wearing my costume.” He took off the mask. In his ordinary grey hoodie, blue jeans and brown shoes.

The door opened.

“Sup. I’m sorry for being a minute late. Here are your donuts.”

“Boy! Thanks!” It was Pinkie Pie.
“Wait. I thought you could bake?”

“I can. I accidentally blew up the baking powder.”

“What’s the occasion?”

“My sister Mauds’ birthday!”

“Hoo-ray.” Maud said in the background.

“Wanna come? It already started.”

“Gee, I mean, I got my shift though so..”

“Please?”

He thought. What the hell?

“I’m in.” He sighed reluctantly.

“YAAY!”

He walked inside. The 7 friends were all there.

He walked over to Maud.

“So, hows the birthday girl?”

“Do want to meet boulder?” That was out of the blue.

“Uh. Sure.”

“Here he is.”

She pulled out a rock from a bag.

“I like rocks. Considering I grew up in one. An orphanage, I mean. Built from granite from Lundy Island at the Griffish Isles.”

She didn’t reply.

He awkwardly walked off.

She went up onto a wooden stage.

“Hello? I have a song.”

“Here goes.”
“Now this is a story all about how.
I started to like rocks and anyhow,
I’d like to take a minute just sit right there,
I’ll tell you how a rock became my friend in the middle of nowhere.
(instrumental)
In West...”


“Well, that was, something.”

“Get ready! We have the donuts now! Let’s sing happy birthday!”

“I’m sorry, I gotta go.”

“Aww. Can’t you stay a little longer?”

“Um. Not really. I don’t wanna be fired, what’s the time?”

4:27

“I really have to go. Bye..?”

He had never felt so awkward.

He closed the door and ran fast!
