Pinkamena must co op with a new baker and her cousin in taking over the sweet business.
Pinkamena Diane Pie, also known as Pinkie Pie to her friends, is the most party-loving and most sweet-loving pony in Ponyville. But underground, she is most known for her killing spree of over 100 ponies and baking them into delicious sweeties. Now she is not alone as a new underground baker comes and sets the records almost close to hers. What new alliance can be found with these Demon Bakers and how will it affect their business when trying to rule the sweeties of Equestria?

"Pinkie, are you sure you can handle store buy yourself?" Mrs. Cake said while putting Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake's toys in their baby bag. She also runs to the fridge not forgetting to gather the twins's bottles in packing them up too.
"Don't worry Mrs. C! I'll be fine. Besides, whats the worst that could happen with me being in charge?" Pinkie said cheerfully hopping on her tail with excitement. She can hardly believe that the Cakes have been invited to a Bakers Convention all the way in Las Pegasus and will be gone for almost for 5 months. That feels more like a vacation then just some Convention. Shouldn't conventions be as long a just 3 or 4 days?
"Now Pinkie, need I remind of the 'Giant Cupcake' you created which took almost 2 clean up around here and half the street of Ponyville?" said Mr.Cake with a look of concerned and worry about his shop. As he trying to get that horrible image of his mine, he stared at Pinkie and his beloved shop. " I don't know! Maybe we should just cancel the trip!"
Mrs. Cake stopped packing up food from the refrigerator and trotted towards to give him a hug. "Now come on sweety! You know how important this is for business to expand. Not to mention were not the only ones going to this convention alone from here".
"That's Right!" Pinkie said still bouncing on her tail and now towards the cakes. " The Hooves family were also invited with you guys and they have pretty good muffins around here too! But wait, why are the twins going with you guys again? Wouldn't it get boring for them?"
"Not exactly Pinkie" Mrs.Cake said as she went to get the foals from upstairs and Pinkie just followed. "You do know their daughter, Dinky, right?" Pinkie nodded. " well turns out that she really wanted to go with them so they decided to tag her alone for the ride. Derpy was kinda against it but since it was the summer, she thought one little trip wouldn't hurt her". As Mrs. Cake and Pinkie entered the twins's room , they the two foals sleeping near their packed bags. "Looks like they must be excited as I thought."
As Mrs.Cake picked up Pound Cake, Pinkie picked up Pumpkin Cake and they both trotted out the room, in the hallway, and then down stairs. Mr.Cake was making sure they have everything as their suitcases were all near exit of the shop. As soon as the Cakes but their foals in the respectful cribs and both gave Pinkie a hug, the taxi and just pulled up near the entrance of the shop.
"Well, looks like our ride is here" Mrs. Cake said and started taking foals to the cab and getting them situated. Mr. Cake stared levitating all their suitcases and the twins' bags to the cab and sat them down near it. Pinkie trotted to the cab and started helping them getting their stuff rightly situated.
"Now Pinkie, are you sure you can handle shop while were gone?" Mr.Cake said with not worried face anymore but more of a smile as he remember the the Giant Cupcake incident last year and realized that Pinkie has since then matured then.
"Don't worry Mr. C! I will have this place looking jiffy when you all come back and see how much money I have raised selling our sweeties!" Pinkie said giving him a brightfull smile.
"Hahaha! Well we all will be looking forward to it" Mr. Cake said as he and wife were now getting into the cab. As the cab started leave they both waved goodbye to Pinkie and she waved back as now saw the Cab disappear down the road and heading toward the train station.
Pinkie looked up at the bright blue sky and saw a few Pegasi fly by looking cheerful. She also spotted good bit ponies all trotting on road and some standing near their respectful shops looking as cheerful as always these days. As she trotted back into her shop, she noticed the sign was saying 'OPEN' and chuckled a little think Mr.Cake probably forgot to switch it around to show it saying 'CLOSED'. As she switched them around, she trotted into the store and locked the door behind her. She looked around the shop to see if anything needed cleaning. The wooden floors looked mopped, the counters looked clean along with the utensils in their right places, and the tables looked spotless. After doing a quick inspection, she trotted towards the basement door.
As she entered the basement, she spotted a few flour bags on the floor and putted them back neatly on the shelves. After that was done, she started to the plain and grey looking wall at the end of the basement. She placed her hoof on the wall and gently zig zagged around it. Soon after, the wall splitted in two revealing a long and dark corridor. their were 2 torches that instantly lit up at opening of the door. Pinkie happily trotted inside as the hidden door behind her closed up and sealing itself like it never opened in the first place. As she trotted down this dark corridor, more torches, like the previous ones, started lighting up the more she trotted. On both sides of the wall looked like caged doors that if you listen closely, you could her moans and crying from them but these didn't bother Pinkie not one bit. Soon she came in sight of a doubled door twice the size her and as she opened them, the sight of what was inside would make even the strongest stallion faint from just one glance.
The room was as wide as a ballroom floor except it the atmosphere horrifying to say the least. The walls were a darkish brown and contained specks of blood from the decor that was on them. The walls contains what looks like disembodied pony limbs,skinned skin that have pony's cutie mark on them, and what this room even stranger was how their was banner hanging up from the wall that is facing the entrance stating "Welcome to my Party". But what is interesting is the center of the room that contains a large table with somepony strapped to it and a large lamp that seems to shed some light around the room since it hardly showed any light in there.
Pinkie walks towards the center where the pony that is strapped down seems to be conscious at the moment. The pony looks like a mare who has a brown coat, white mane, dark blue eyes, and a cutie mark that resemble a cinnamon bun. The pony's mouth seems to be covered with a cloth that seems to prevent her from saying anything but her eyes seems to speak more then she would have anyway. They are expressing sheer terror like they just have seen monster kill a little foal in his sleep. When she spots Pinkie towering over her, she begins speaking over in mumbles since the cloth is preventing her from any sound. Pinkie takes a chair and sits it next to the strapped-down pony and begins talking to her with a smile.
"Well it seems the Cakes have finally left for their vacation so it looks like i'm in charge of the store. Even though i really wanted to go, there is a lot of hungry ponies out here in Ponyillle that needs their sweets and I ,the only party, can't let them down. You get where i'm coming from right?
The pony only mumbles.
"See? I knew you would understand. know if you don't mind i'm going to kill you so i can feed my hungry friends out there in Ponyville".
The other pony proceed to cry as this insane pony is talking to her when she isn't saying anything as her mouth is immobile at the moment.
"Don't worry! I'm sure you will be delicious as I too enjoy cinnamon, as well as a colleague I use to train back when I was still there".
Before the other pony could wonder what she was talking about, Pinkie starts to cut open her chest. As she begins to do her baking, she stops at the moment as she realized she completely forgot something. Then she remembered as her poofy mane and poofy tail drops and becomes straight. Her Light pink coat also turns into a darker pink.
"Ah! that's better" Pinkie says a little a colder than usual, " Now we can began our cooking. By the way, it would be best to remember me as Pinkamena Diane Pie, the Demon Baker, as your killer".
*2 hours later*
"Oh My Celestia! These are good!" said a red coated stallion pony sitting at a table in Sugar Cube Corner.
"Yes you are right! I never had cinnamon flavored cupcakes like these before." said a baby blue mare coated pony sittting across from him.
After hours of baking the cinnamon pony, Pinkamena never seen so many ponies run into shop at the same time. It would seem that cinnamon flavored cupcakes are hit right now. Business is blooming in only after a few hours. Even when she selling these cupcakes for 5 bits, it felt like they were giving more than the amount was suppose to be.
Pinkamena was never the type to be greedy over money so all the bits she gained didn't matter to her. What did make her happy was seeing all the ponies in town eat the sweeties that baked. After that, A thought popped up in her head.
Pinkamena, standing over the counter, looked at everypony from that's in the shop. "Even though I'm happy," she ponder with a thought, "Why for some reason do I want more?" Before she could continue anymore with her thought, A pony walked in the shop. As she heard the door open and was about to turn and greet the 51th pony in the shop, her eyes shrunk.
The pony walked in seems to be a stallion just a tad bit taller then her. He has a green coat that's on light side, A brown mane that's seems to be a little towards the eyes, and his eye color has a blue feature to them. He looked around and seemed to be astounded by crowd that's in the shop. As he decided to walk further in, he noticed the pink mare looking at him with such shock in her eyes. Somehow he figured she must be the owner so decided to trot towards her.
"Hi there! You probably don't know me but I own a bakery around the corner and I noticed a massive crowd coming here. My curiosity peeked so came over to see what all the commotion about." As he stopped talking for a while, he noticed the mare was still in shock mode. he chucked a little as realized he didn't introduced himself.
"Hahaha! I don't think I told my name yet" he said still staring at the mare. " Well my Name is Sco-"
"Scoutker"
"huh?"
As Pinkamena decided to get out of trance faze, she blinked frequently to make sure she wasn't seeing things.
"Scoutker!?" she screamed out, although everypony else in the shop were to into the pony flavored sweeties that they didn't know they were eating so they wasn't paying attention to Pinkie's outburst.
"Wow" Scouter thought. "How did you know my name?" I don't think we met befo-"
And then it hit him.
Scoutker never did get a good look at the pink mare but as he looked at her straight mane and dark pink coat, the pieces were coming together. She look familiar like the pony he met at the......organization..... wait it couldn't be! Could it?
"Mena!?" he also blurted out.
"Scoutker!?"
"Mena!?"
"Scoutker!?"
"Pat!"
The two ponies looked at the left and saw a light blue stallion looking at them. He had cutie mark that resembles a piano note on the side. the blue pony looked at them awkwardly then decided to back away slowly.
"Woooow! You've really done a lot these 12 years Mena!" Scoutker said with a bit a jealous tone in his voice. He trots to the nearest table to take a seat. It's been 5 hours since the bakery had been bringing in ponies like a storm and now the crowd seems to have died down now so it's just Pinkie and Scoutker in the their alone.
Pinkie has been in just a shock faze after having that many many ponies in the bakery. Somepony actually complemented Pinkie on her new hair style in which completely forgot it she still had it straight flat. Since it was just her and Scoutker in the room, she decided to leave like it is. She looks him one more time notices that he actually gained some meat on those skinny bones he use to have. His physique looks almost, but not as close, to that red stallion that works on the farm on the outskirts of Ponyville. But still, Scoutker does look handsome more than he use to those years ago.
Now that the shop was empty, Pinkie decides to go to the back to bring two more of those new cupcakes she baked hours ago and give her guest and herself one. As she takes her seat, Scouker look away from the window and to Pinkie.
"Are these two for us?" Scoutker said as he looks at the cupcake with curiosity. The cupcake had this glazed look to it which made some saliva slip from the side is mouth a little.
"Well duh" Pinkie laughed as she picked hers' up with her hoof, " Why else would I bring out 2 of these? It would be a little nice to eat with a old colleague."
Scoutker said no more as he picked his cupcake with his hoof and gave it a chomp. As he chewed it for 10 seconds, he already had a little tear sliding from the side eye and also a little smile as he was eating something from not only a colleague, but from one of the best bakers he ever met.
"Mena"
"Hmm?" Pinkie sounded from her mouth as she was also eating her newest masterpiece that she can proudly add to her menu.
"This cupcake......is freaking delicious! I would expect nothing less from the best baker in Ponyville!" Scoukter said as he manage to get that sentence from still eating the cupcake.
Pinkie starts to laugh." Im glad you think so! Feels nice to here it from an old friend."
"But....." Scoutker said as he put the cupcake down for a second " I do have one question to ask...if you don't mind that is?"
Suddenly Pinkie starts to put hers' down as well. She had a confused look as to what he was to ask her."Um....sure go ahead."
Everywhere around the shop started fell different. The Atmosphere around the 2 ponies started to feel tense up a bit. As Pinkie was staring into Scoutker's eyes ready to his question, she notices something that's changing with him. His bright smile he just had moments ago started turning into a look of one who is not amused by something, his mane also just a tad bit wild, and his eyes, that were still staring into hers, had this gleering look in them. If looked closely one can see aspect of bloodsthirsty red within them.
Soon, His unamused smile had turn into a sinister looking one as he was about to talk.
"Can you tell me who was unlucky pony that I should thank for this tasty treat?"
Suddenly, Pinkie's confused looked turned into one that is sadistic. Her coat and mane became somewhat of a dark pink instead of a bright look. Last thing that changed on her was eyes that her pupils dilated themselves and more blue was shown.
"Hmm...some mare by the name of Cinammon Flower" Pinkie said as she smiles at Scoutker.
"Hahahaha..... now that's the Pinkamena look that I was looking for!" He said as he starts to pick back up eating where he left off.
"Pfft.....not like I was trying to hide from you." Pinkie blantly said as she also resumed eating.
"So......Cinammon Flower huh?....meh.... not a bad name if I say so myself"
"Scoutker, every name is not a bad name to you"
"But, their are somepony's names who carries great value with them"
Pinkie laughs as she seemed to miss his wannabe wisdom talk. Dusk seems to hit them both as Pinkie got up and closed blinds the on inside and also put the 'Sorry, we're closed' sign on the door. "By the way Scouker..."
"hmm?" Scoutker hummed as he finished his treat.
"What are you doing here in Ponyville?" Pinkie said as she started to trot to the back of the kitchen. Scoutker picked up tray that had their cupcakes on it and trot to the back with her.
"I Already told you that Mena. I have a bakery that's a few blocks down yours" He stated as he started helping her clean up.
"You know you don't have to help me clean ya know?"
"Yea, but it feels just like old times" Scoutker shrugged.
Pinkie put the mop down and started staring into space. Scoutker saying that just made remember her 12 years back at that the Organization. That place is where she became who she is today........and where everything had started.
12 years ago
Pinkamena's head was throbbing. It felt like somepony had punched her forehead because the more she was moving, the more the pain felt like it felt like hell. Wait a minute......i'm not walking......why does it feel like it im on something and its carrying me? As Pinkamena began pondering the thought, it was interrupted by the thing that was carrying her.
"Ah! I see your finally awake."
"Huh...a wha?" Pinkamena began blathering weird sentences until her head started to calm down little. She started looking at her carrier to see who this pony was. Apparently, that pony seemed to be a red stallion. She spotted a horn on his forehead so she figured he must be a unicorn. She couldn't see how tall he was given that she was his back and still a little woozy from what ever whacked her in the head. But it seeing as she was way off the ground, he must be pretty tall if she had to guess. But what really peeked her interests, as she looked down on the left side of his flank, was his cutie mark. It was ball shaped and it seemed to be covered in flames. She then began wondering what that meant.
The stallion carrying Pinkamena turns his head around and sees her staring at his cutie mark. He started chuckling. "You see anything you like back there?" he said as he started to joke with her.
Pinkamena quickly turned her head as she was blushing from that question. "N-n-no I was curious" she stuttered. "By the way....who are you?"
"Hmm you don't remember already" he said started facing forward. "That fall must have got you good"
"Huh" Pinkamena asked confusedly "What fall? I don't remember falling?"
"Oh i'm sorry. I think the term 'trip' falls into place."
Suddenly, Pinkamena starts to remember something. What appeared in her head suddenly looked like a rock and also a faceplant. Now starting to puzzle what happened, She started mad blushing like she wanted to hide under a rock. "Damn I hate those rocks" she thought to herself.
The stallion was chuckling a little louder than before. "Don't worry, I won't tell anypony what happened. You have my word"
Hearing that made Pinkamena sigh a breath of relief. She then thought back to her original question.
"Um mister?"
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
"Can you tell me who you are? If you did tell me earlier, it seems I forgot."
The stallion smiled. "Sure. My name is Gill."
"Gill?" Pinkamena said out loud. That was a weird name as she never heard a name like that before. But nonetheless, it sounded cool to her.
"Yes that's my name" Gill stated calmly. "If your also wondering, we just left your place 2 hours ago. We can't stick around a crime scene now can we?"
"Crime Scene?"
And at the moment, reality started to blow in Pinkamena's face like a hurricane. Everything started come into place in her mind. She started to remember what happened those few hours ago. Like how she threw a party in her family's shed, and her and her family partied together, and how she poisoned poisoned the punch bowl and watched her father get cup and drink some of it. She then watched him fall to the ground and started choking. Her mother ran straight towards him but to no avail as a flying knife impaled her in the forehead and fell inches from her husband. That stab instantly killed her Obviously. The sisters, Inky and Blinky, started screaming and ran to the door but as they made their way to the exit, 2 ropes, simultaneously, wrapped around their forelegs and quickly lifted them in the air. They both were next impaled by 2 more flying knives in their their foreheads ending their lives in a swift second.
The was a sad a moment for the father as he struggled to stay alive from the poison. His famliy just died around the corner of his eyes and he couldn't do anything to save them as he was mere minutes away from death's door too. He tried to gain his balance on the table but the poison got to all his legs so he fell back on the ground. As he was looking ahead, He saw a Pink figured walking towards him. I knew from the size that is was his daughter, pinkamena, and called out to her.
"Pinkamena! G-g-g- go get help qui-" was all he could say after getting a good look at his daughter's face.
Instead of having a petrified face, It was more of psychotic look than an anything he seen is his life. And for that look to be on his daughter's face was more terrifying than anything. It's like she was practically enjoying this! Seeing him and her family die before her eyes......no it couldn't be....
"P-p-p-Pinkamena.......you didn't...."
"Sorry father...... I don't know about you guys but i just had the best time of my life!" Pinkamena said while smiling sadistically towards her father.
"B-b-but why?"
"Because I was bored and staying on this farm was not gonna help me find happiness. So why not throw my family one last party before I go?..hahahaha" Pinkamena started laughing hysterically while her father was starting to cry as to see what his daughter was becoming.
"Pinka-" was all he could say out of his mouth before the poison finally done it's job and he was gone........
Pinkamena sat on haunches for a few minutes and look around to admire her work. Her family was gone and she only remained, which means could do whatever she wanted without anyone holding her back. But the real question remained: Where would she go from here on out? She doubt anypony would want a murder living with them. Soon after, a tear fell from her cheek and then she started crying. She didn't know if it was from sadness or happiness but the tears starts coming on out on their own.
She sat their for a minute, pondering in her thoughts, and decided it was time to go. Where to? Who knows. As she was about to go get here things from her house, A bright light appeared from the shed's entrance. The light was too bright for her to see what but what came out of the light surprised her. It was a stallion. A tall unicorn stallion to be exact. He had a golden-like mane that reached to his back, a light red coat, blue and red eyes, and cutie mark on his left side that looks like a fireball.
"Well little one. It seems someone had a little too much fun here." the stallion chuckled.
"Who are you?" Pinkamena asked.
"My name is Gill. And you would be?
"Pinkamena Diane Pie."
"Well it's nice to me you Pinkamena" Gill said giving a warm smile.
"Thanks but why are you here?" Pinkamena said confusedly.
"Why it seems i'm here for you of course?"
This caught Pinkamena off guard. What would somepony like him want with her?
"I can pretty much guess your wondering what I want with you right?" Pinkie nodded. "Well while I was on my way back from Canterlot, I sensed this evil aura far from where I was. I was interested in what was giving of such power so I had to come see it from myself. And what do you know? It's coming from this little filly right here." Gill stated while point at her.
"So what do you want me for?" Pinkamena asked now curious.
"Pinkamena Diane Pie, I want you to become a part of my organization for gifted creatures. This world is corrupted in so many ways that I can't help to save it by myself. Will you help me purify this world?"
Now this offer was a stand still for Pinkamena. One part of her didn't want to trust this guy as he just came out of nowhere asking her to join him; the second was that she wanted to see what lies beyond this farm and going with this guy would she ever experience it.
Gill thought that was too much for her right of the bat so he decided to help her out. "Pinkamena, I promise that if you come with me, you will find happiness with your new self soon."
That it was she wanted to her right their. Since she is now a murderer, their no going back to her old life so now she wants to see what she can accomplishe with the new her. "OK i'm in" as she gave Gill a big smile.
"Excellent!" Gill said, "We shall depart at once."
"Hold on second!" Pinkamena said while leaving Gill for second and ran to her house.
"Something the matter, Pinkamena?" Gill called back.
A minute had passed and Pinkamena came out of her house with a little saddlebag. "I had to get my things. OK now i'm rea-" as soon as she started running towards gill, she didn't see the little rock under in front of her and ended up tripping on her foreleg which ended in a faceplant on the ground.
Gill sat their watching her little accident and chuckled a little "My, you are something special." he said while he lifted her unconscious self with his magic and sat her on his back. "I can't wait to see what you accomplished in the future, Pinkamena Diane Pie." He then trotted, with Pinkamena, away from the farm only to lose it in sight.
"I remember now." Pinkamena said now out of her thought from what happened at the farm.
"I figured it would come back to you." Gill said without turning his head around.
"But Gill, I also realized you didn't tell me where we were going"
I didn't? Oh my i'm sorry, I guess I forgot to mentioned the place." Gill said while smiling" Where we're going is my organization's hideout."
"Organization's hideout?" Pinkie said.
"Yep and it has a name other than organization."
"So what is it called?"
"It's called the Demon's Garden."
ZOMG WHERE THE HELL ARE WE!? IS THIS REALLY THE DEMON'S GARDEN!?
Pinkamena and Gill walked for almost 8 hours in a grassy plain surrounded by nothing but grass. Pinkamena felt like she was half way across Equestria with the pace that they were going. But that wasn't bothering her as much as her mind was still on where Gill was taking her.
"Um......Gill?" Pinkamena said a little shy.
"Yes?" Gill asked while his eyes were still locked on the path they were heading"
"So what is this Demon's Garden?"
"It's a facility I started 1000 years ago to bring out creatures, your kind and non-alike, hidden potentials that they've kept in secret or hasn't unlock them yet."
Pinkamena had a little smile on her face kinda hoping to meet more ponies like herself.
"So when will we get there Gill?" Pinkamena asked.
"We're here now" Gill said while staring foward.
As Pinkamena looked forward, she notices that..........it was nothing but field grass. As she was about to get angry, Gill took notice of her emotion and laughed so he walked 3 steps forward. With those 3 steps, they entered an entirely new landscape.
Th sky that was blue was now completely blood red. Pinkamena was completely shocked as she stared into the sky. As Gill lifted up his right hoof into the air, a symbol surrounded them and they both teleported from the grass they was standing on. Soon they reappeared in front of a tall gate Pinkamena looked at the gate and noticed that in the middle of the gate, there was symbol of two wings each on both sides.
"You can hop of now Pinkamena" Gill said looking at the gate in front of him.
"Okay" Pinkamena said jumping of the stallion. As soon as she trotted in front of Gill, she notices the building behind the gate. What she thought she saw was not at all a building. In her eyes, she didn't see what looked like castle but more of like a empire.
The gates suddenly opened and Gill started walking followed by Pinkamena. Two mares walked towards the two and made Pinkamena jump since they just appeared out of know where. The one on the left was had a grey coat, black mane and tail, and blue eyes while the one the right had a black coat, grey mane and tail, and pinkie eyes. The both kneeled in front him and Gill lifted his hoof up which signaled them that they could rise.
"Good evening Star Crusher and and Light Breaker" Gill said to them with a smile.
"Good evening to you as well my Lord" the one on the left, now known as Star Crusher, spoke with a gentle voice.
"Your pretty late as usual Master Gill" the one on the right, now known as Light Breaker, spoke with a bit of annoyance.
"Well the meeting in Canterlot ran a little late and i stopped on little detour after it. And i must say it was worth it." Gill said as looked down at the little filly next to him.
The two mares looked down at where their Lord was looking and notice a pink little filly next to his hoof. At first they looked confused but then both met their eyes gazed back Gill.
"Ladies, I would like you both to meet Pinkamena Diane Pie." Gill said to the mares.
Pinkamena looked at the two mares and gave them a soft smile.
"Um......hi" Pinkamena said, still feeling the awkwardness in the air.
"Hello Pinkamena" said Star Crusher.
"What's up little squirt?" Light Breaker as she went up and ran her of hoof on Pinkamena's head.
"Nice mane ya got their."
"Ugh thanks" Pinkamena said while still trying to get Light's hoof of her head but to no avail.
Star Crusher was laughing the moment that her sister and the little filly was having but then looked back at Gill with concerned look. Gill looked away from the other two and looked back at Star.
"My Lord, I know what you do is none of our business but where did you get her from and why?" she asked.
"She's the reason I took a detour after the meeting" Gill said while looking back at Pinkamena.
"Really?"
"Yes. This one here Star, she is something special. She maybe somepony the Garden needs." Gill said proudly.
"Well my Lord, as much as we like to hear meeting of you two, their is a problem." said Star with a worried look on her face.
This problem Star spoke of just brought Gill out of his happy faze and into one of a more ruthless dictator. Star suddenly felt massive energy from her Lord and felt like running away but stood here ground. The energy even made Light stop playing around with Pinkamena and trot toward her sister with care. After Pinkamena straightened her mane back to the way it was, she looked back at Gill and notice the looked the death glare he was giving to Star. Out of nowhere, she felt this sudden rush of Adrenline running in her body, begging her to let loose on somepony.
"What is this problem you speak of Star? Answer now!" Gill demanded, his voice sounding like it could it make over a 1000 ponies sit on their flanks.
"Um sir......it's about that...." Star found herself stopping to tell her Lord for what was going on. Thinking, if she told him, things would be more chaotic then it already is in this place.
"GO ON!?" Gill demanded.
"SIR!!! IT'S ABOUT THAT LITTLE COLT!!!" Star found herself screaming then covered her mouth with her hoof.
"Scoutker!?" Gill said while closing in on Star.
"Yes My Lord!" Star said, suddenly bowing her head. Her sister also did the same.
All of a sudden, the energy around them seemed to lighten alot. Gill Changed from his angry look and started to have a smirk on his face.
"HAHAHAHAHA!!! That boy," Gill said while calming down from his laughter, "What has he done now?"
Star and Light also seemed to lighten up as well after their Lord's faize.
"Well, it seemed that he was getting picked on by the older colts in their dorm."
"And?" Gill said while looking puzzled.
"And well.........he killed 20 of the colts while 12 were injured." Star said looking at the ground.
"Hm....did he say why killed them?
"No my Lord. He won't even tell us why."
Gill thought for awhile then had an idea that could change these two kids lives. He looked down at Pinkamena, who was still pounding her head with her hoof to get rid of that headache.
"Pinkamena, lets go." Gill said.
"Huh? What?" Pinkamena said while looking back at him.
"We're going to go see your possible roomate and first friend in this facility."
Gill looked at the two sisters.
"Excuse us ladies. I will go have a talk with him at once." Gill said.
"Of course my Lord! He's in the Dorm right now." Star said bowing her head. Her sister followed as she did.
As Gill and Pinkamena left the two sister by the main gate, Pinkamena felt like some questions about this new friend needs to be said. She recalled hearing Star says something about him killing about 20 ponies for picking on him. Most ponies would probably feel scared about meeting some pony like that, but she felt more excited to meet this killer colt.
Seems the day in the Demon's Garden is just getting started it.
This entire facility, from Pinkamena's perspective, looks more like a empire for a God of Princess Celestia's Status. Her and Gill have walked for what felt like half an hour or so, with the speed they were going. As she looked around with her surroundings, she spotted a few Griffons flying in the distances along with some walking on the ground. She also spotted two big and muscular Minotaurs on her far left guarding two double doors to a huge building of some sort. Overall, she thinks that this place looks really cool and wait to go exploring later. But right now her thoughts were on the colt that Gill said he's taking her to see. What kind of pony is he? she thought to herself. Is he friendly or mean and fierce? Star Crusher said he killed 20 ponies for picking on him. If I say something wrong on first impression, will he choose me as his next target? Pffft like he will be able to to touch me.With those thoughts going through her head, she found herself giggling at them. Gill took notice of her laughter and decides to intervene on her private thoughts, as well as lighten the mood.
"Well well. Looks like somepony is having them a good thought." Gill said chuckling as he walks.
Thus, Pinkamena snapped out of her thoughts and looked back at Gill with a hint of red on her cheeks
"What? Oh it's nothing. Just doing some funny thinking." Pinkamena said while trying to look some other way to hide her face.
"Hmm I see." Gill said chuckling. Suddenly, A thought hit him.
“By the way Pinkamena” Gill said looking at her with concern “I’m sorry you had to feel that painful magic of mine. I can easily control myself but when something doesn't go the way I wanted it or if trouble is loose around here, I can lose my temper. If you know what I mean.”
“Oh that’s OK! It felt good.” Pinkamena said normally.
After hearing that, Gill stopped walking immediately and looked down at Pinkamena. Did she really just say that?
“What….do you mean it felt…good?” Gill said while looking at Pinkamena with curiosity.
“Well….I don’t know can I can explain it but when I felt that magic, I felt this surge of adrenaline hit me like a ton of bricks. At that moment, I felt like killing something with no reason.” Pinkamena said.
“I…see” Gill said.
Gill suddenly felt like shouting at the world saying he found a worthy Foal saying that he found somepony worthy of handling is aura. But he knows that she must overcome greater obstacles in the future in order for to achieve power to help him with his purification of the world.
“Did I do something wrong?” Pinkamena asked.
“No…it’s just not many creatures can handle essences of my power and for you to overcome it so easily is astounding” Gill reassured Pinkamena and not telling the whole reason.
That made Pinkamena smile a little bit.
“Now then…shall we continue our walk to the dorm?”
“Yep”
After their short conversation they continued the long path to the dorm where Scoutker resumes. Pinkamena realizes that since their both in talkative mood, that she should get some info on this Scoutker guy.
“Um…Gill?” Pinkamena asked.
“Hmm?” hummed Gill.
Can you tell me some things about Scoutker? I like to know more about him if there is a possible chance of us working as partners here.”
“Hmm pretty observant are we? Gill said with a chuckle. “I'm pretty sure he will tell about himself but I can tell you about few things about him.”
Pinkamena’s ears perked up, ready to listen.
“As you have yet to see, Scoutker is just like you; a colt who suffered family loss. Now unlike you, he didn't kill his own family but rather watched them get murdered by a couple Diamond Dog thieves that broke into their home late at night.”
“Wow” Pinkamena said “How did he survive?”
“When I found him, he was in the Hollow Jungle, covered in blood.” Gill said.
“The Hollow Jungle?” Pinkamena said looking slightly confused.
“Yes the Hollow Jungle, a forest even more deadlier than the Everfree Forest that resides close to Canterlot. How Scoutker even survived in there is a mystery to me.”
After their conversation, the two arrive at a huge dorm taller than anything Pinkamena ever seen. There are two guards standing by the doors. They must be to their keep watch on something dangerous. As they spotted Gill, they presented themselves in front of him.
“Lord Gill! We have Scoutker locked in his room” the guard on the left said.
“What are going to do to him my lord?” the guard on the right asked.
“Don’t worry about it. I have everything under control” Gill said calmly to the guards. “You both may leave your position and take a break.”
The two guards looked at each other smiling and turned back to Gill.
“Thank you, my lord!” they both said in union.
As they took their leave, Gill and Pinkamena went through the doors. Pinkamena couldn't believe her eyes. The dorm looked like palace within a building. She expected to see blood and dead bodies all over the wall and floors but what she saw was big chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, a lot of huge red and blue curtains on each of the windows, the floor itself looked like it was made from diamonds but they are just plain floors that still shine like them, huge stairs that look like they reach about 30 stories, and not a single being in site…….wait what?
“This place looks amazing but where is everypony? I expected to see about 1000 or more creatures here!” Pinkamena said while puffing her cheeks out.
“Star Breaker informed that she made sure everypony was out of the building, because of Scoukter’s incident, until I had arrived.” Gill said.
“So where is his room at? I have to imagine that it have to be on the very top floor huh?”
“That’s not a problem. His room is #1 on the second floor”
Pinkamena looked confused.
“So the rooms start on the second floor?” She asked.
“Yes. The first floor’s rooms are generally for resting areas or rooms for them to practice their abilities.”
“So how many rooms are there in this building?”
“2000. But don’t let that mistake you for the number of creatures that are here. While some have their own rooms, some actually share with each other as roommates or a new-founded respect of friendship.”
“Ah ok. That makes more sense to me now.” Pinkamena said smiling.
“Well as much as I like talking with you Pinkamena, I believe we should get going. Don’t want to keep him waiting now do we?” Gill said with a chuckle.
“Oh yea that’s right. Let’s go.”
As they made their way up the second floor and at Scoukter’s door, Pinkamena felt that there was a killing intent behind that door. Sadly, the intent just made her more curious then cautious. As Gill opened the door, Pinkamena walked in first.
Scoukter’s room was surprisingly not covered death. It looked like any other colt’s room with enough space for two ponies. Only thing different about his room is that the posters on his wall looks like pictures of the inside of a pony’s body. That only raised a question….where is Scoutker?
“Wow….a filly in my room.”
A voice appeared. Pinkamena looked around but she didn't see the where it was coming from.
“I never killed a filly before but hey….first time’s the charm!”
Suddenly, Pinkamena saw a blur in front of her which quickly pinned her down on her little back. She tried to move her front hooves but was unable to because of the force that was put on them. As she calmed her mind she noticed what was holding her down. It was a pony; a little colt that looked around her age to be exact. He had a green coat, brown mane and tail, and his eyes were blue.
“You’re Scoutker aren't you?” asked Pinkamena in a calm voice despite the position she was in.
“And the filly knows me too. I guess I’m infamous now huh?” Scoutker said with a sadistic grin.
Scoutker looked at the pink filly and notice she was actually kind of cute. Too bad he has to kill her now to satisfy his hunger.
“You’re actually pretty cute you know?” Scoutker said. “Sadly, I’m not interested in dating my victims. But you do look like you would make a tasty treat though.”
“So you’re going to eat your new roommate?” Pinkamena said with sly smile of her own.
“My new roommate?” Scoutker asked with a confused look.
“Yes your new roommate” Gill said while walking in the door and closing it.
“GILL!!!” Scoutker shouted while hopping off of Pinkamena and running up to Gill to hugging his front leg.
“Ha-ha! It’s nice to see you too, Scoutker!” Gill said while patting him on the head.
As Pinkamena got up, Scoutker turned to her.
“Gill, who is she?” Scoutker said looking confused.
“This is Pinkamena Diane Pie, your new roommate and partner.”
Pinkamena got up and dusted herself and took out a hoof.
“Hello! It’s nice to meet you, besides you trying to killing me.” She said with a giggle.
Scoutker shook her hoof.
“Um…yea…it’s nice to meet you too.” Scoutker said while looking concerned. “Gill?”
“What is it Scoutker?”
“I thought I didn't need a partner. My style fits me going solo. I like to go all out instead of being held back by somepony.”
Gill closed his eyes for a few seconds and opened them back up looking at the kids.
“The reason I’m putting you two together, Scoutker, is because I think with you two can become more powerful when working together. Pinkamena here also has the same killing intent as you so I believe that will also help in building both of you two’s individual abilities.”
“Well….” Scoutker started to think when Gill put his hoof on his shoulder.
“Don’t worry. It’ll be fine.” Gill said with a reassuring smile.
“Well…..OK! I’ll work with her.” Scoutker said smiling back at Gill.
While watching the other two, Pinkamena had a smile on her face too. "Too Much smiling going on here." she thought.
“Well now, I think it’s about time you tell what’s happened here don’t you think?” Gill said with frown on his face.
Scoutker actually wanted to lie about the ordeal he just through with those bullies but he knew Gill would see through him. He thought it would just lessen his punishment if the just go ahead and tell him what went down.
"Well, Scoutker" Gill said in a nice tone voice "Care to explain?"
Scoutker walked past Pinkamena and sat on his bed. As he got comfortable, he notice that his bed felt bouncy but resisted the urge to bounce on it. "Well it all started before you guys got here. I was in the lunch room going to get something to take back to my room. But that's when he and his gang stopped me.
*
"Well, look who decided to stop by to see us, guys! It's Gill's little pet." said the tall black stallion with green and red stripes on his mane and tail. His height almost rivals Gill. Him and his gang stands in front of Scoutker.
"Whoa, Black Jack! I can actually see you standing in front me." Scoutker said with a straight face followed by a little smile.
"What the hell does that suppose to mean?" Black Jack said while looking a little aggravated.
"I'm just saying that if this little meeting was in a alley somewhere, you would blend in perfectly in the shadows. Actually, that would be a good a thing since nopony would have to see your ugly appearance."
That comment gained a few good chuckles from the other creatures in the lunch room. Even one of Black's goons chuckled a little until he got a death glare from Black. That made him straighten his ass up.
"You know for a little shrimp, you do like to talk shit don't you" Black said with a smirk.
"What do you want, Black? I just wanna go back to my dorm to eat my food" Scoutker said looking annoyed. "But that seems unlikely as you and your shitty ass crew are standing in front on the door."
That comment made the gang pissed and were about to walk closer to Scoutker until Black held up a hoof which signaled them to back down.
"What do I want? Hehehehe i'm surprise you didn't notice yet." Black said with a sinister smile.
"Notice what?" Scoutker said looking confused.
"Gill is not here! Which means their is nopony to stop us from killing you and becoming his right hoof pony. And don't think about his secretaries coming to save you since their always with paperwork to come and look at little scrabble. Also, this might be a true or false rumor, but i'm pretty sure those twins have it out for you as well."
Scoutker pretty much tried to ignore everything he was saying since it all sounded like shit to him but the last statement made him think. The twins having it out for him? Sure they would be to busy to with their paperwork but wanting him dead? That sounded like crap to him since he like the twins. Their like the big sisters he never had. Instead of dwelling on that thought for now, he turned his attention back to Black.
"Why do y'all have it for me? What have I ever done to y'all other than talk shit to ya?" Scoutker said. He was starting to look serious this time.
"Why you say!? It's because you're a fucking faker that's what!!!" Black said in a pissed off tone.
"What?"
"You heard me you piece of shit! Ever since you arrived here and Gill just automatically announced you as his right hoof pony, you haven't even shown us what the hell you could actually do that impressed him so much. You hang around him like a spoiled little foal that wants attention. But you know what? That's gonna change today."
This made Scoutker arch a eyebrow up. "How so?"
"Simple" started Black. "By killing you, Gill would wake up and notice that you wasn't worthy of his time. He then would make one of us talented ponies out here his right hoof pony; or basically pick me because of talent being able to break an entire building with one punch."
At this point, Scoutker just sighed and shook his head. "You're so pathetic."
"What did you just say?" said Black in a most gruesome tone. Getting told your pathetic by somepony is one thing, but getting told your pathetic by a little foal made his blood boil even harder.
"Unless your going deaf, then unclog your ears. The reason I don't show ya'll my talent is because what's the point? I maybe be a little cocky bastard but even I wouldn't show my abilities to weak asses like you and your shitty crew. It would just be a waste of power and my time." Scoutker said with evil smile.
At this point, the whole lunch room was quiet as a mouse. If anypony ever heard the saying "The calm before Storm", then this would be it.
"Well, I guess that shut all of you up" Scoutker shrugged. "Now then if you wouldn't mind, I would like to back to my dorm so i can be my fo-"
That was Scoutker could say before a hoof, out of nowhere, connected with his muzzle and sent him flying across the room, pass everypony's table, and into the concrete wall which the force made a crater like shape in it.As he hanged in their, blood came dripping from the back of his head while a small-like river of blood dripped from his forehead. Everypony in the lunch room turned to look at the little colt in the wall-like crater. Scoutker's body eventually dropped from the wall and landed him in the pile of rubble from it. He didn't move....at all.
Everypony started to mutter words about how that was cheap thing that Black had did to the little colt. Mostly it were the mares. They know that age doesn't matter in the Demon's Garden and anypony could get killed but this guy just killed their's Lord's right hoof pony. One mare sneaked out the back door while the commotion was going on and muttered something about informing the secretaries. The stallions on the other hoof, was just stared at the body while looking emotionless or chuckling at it. They knew that colt had a bad mouth on him and thought he deserved it. Right hoof pony or not, he was still little colt and need to learn respect towards his elders.
Black and his gang were laughing so hard, they might have died from popping a blood vessel. "You see kid!? This what happens when you piss off the Bloody Terror Gang! We leave bodies in our wake! Mares and Stallions, fillies and colts, we kill anything or anypony that gets in our way!"
As the crew were going to celebrate there victory, there was a small chuckle from the pile of rubble that was recently made. Everypony in the lunch room, including the Bloody Terror Gang, was quiet and stared at the rubble. Black, unlike the rest of them, was shocked the most. From what he's seeing from his perspective shouldn't be physically possible for a little colt.
Scoutker rose from the pile of rubble with scrapes around his coat, blood around his face, and with a cold look in his eyes that stare into a pony's soul. The blue color of his eyes changed into that of a crimson like blood to them. This eerie grin formed on the side of the colt's face to make him look more sinister. All in all, he looked hungry.
"hehehehe! Is that all your punch had to offer? Pathetic!" Scoutker said while laughing. "Even the Secretaries hit way hard then that!"
This infuriated Black as he wanted to charge in and straight choke the colt to death but he couldn't on the count of something holding him back. His fear. Nobody has ever survived a full force punch from him! But this little shit head in front of him just did and is shrugging it off like it was nothing!
"Black! What's wrong with your face? You look like you just seen something worst than a ghost. A devil perhaps?" Scoutker replied, still laughing.
Black tried to speak but something prevented him as not one word left his mouth. At the point, Scoutker took at his surroundings and saw everypony staring at him in fear. Using this to his advantage, he yelled out single sentence in the lunch room with a demonic voice.
"EVERYPONY WHO IS NOT APART OF THIS SHITTY ASS CREW, GET THE FUCK OUT! NOW!!!"
With in a instant everypony that wasn't apart of Black's crew scrambled out in 15 secs flat. Everypony had their own way of evil inside of them, but this colt's aura felt like he was different level them, maybe even close Gill's level.
"Well! Now that their is nobody here to interrupt us, I can enjoy my big buffet here" Scoutker said while walking slowly towards the gang. His smile turn into a sadistic grin. "Since you guys ruined my lunch, I'll just have to use y'all as my appetizer." He licked his lips after that last statement and continuing to walk towards them.
One of Black's unicorn lackeys couldn't take the insults anymore and went charging towards Scoutker screaming. "THAT'S IT! I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU THINK ARE TRYING TO SCARE THE BLOODY TERROR GANG, BUT NO LITTLE SHIT IS GONNA MAKE A MOCKERY OUT OF US!" He levitated a knife as he reached Scoutker. He then had pointed the knife straight to the little colt's head, trying to finish him quickly. "DIE!"
"bon appéti, Scoutker"
"Wha-" was all the unicorn could get it out of his voice before a little hoof went straight through his neck, tearing through the skin and tearing his throat out. The unicorn was dazed as he didn't what just happened and fell on his side,choking on his blood, and eventually dying instantaneously.
The rest of the crew just stood there.....speechless. Nopony knows what just happen but as they see their member laid out on the floor, their gazes when back to Scoutker.....who was slurping the blood off his hoof! He literally eating somepony's blood of his hoof! Where they do that at!?
After Scoutker finished the eating some dead unicorn's blood, his sight turned to the others and a creek smile formed on his mouth.
"That was just appetizer! Now it's time for the full course menu!" Scoutker whispered in a low voice but enough for the others to here it.
The other crew members couldn't take it anymore and all 30 of them went charging at Scoutker! He may have killed one stallion, but there is no way he can take all them on at once they thought. As they circle around him, each one pounce in for an attack.
That was when their ambush went to hell as Scoutker grew smirk on his face as he muttered two words "Puppet's Clock."
*2 minutes later*
"W-w-what?" was the only word Black could get out of that mouth of his.
Black has was speechless as look around the lunch room. If he didn't know any better, he would have thought this was a slaughter house as countless of his men were scattered across the lunch room. Heads were detached from their necks and around somewhere on the floor, limbs were scattered across while some hanged from the ceiling, but was worse that some of the corpses of the dead stallions were bent back in ways that should never be tried unless you were practicing Yoga. What actually made him sick was the all this blood that everywhere in the room. Now he has seen a lot blood before, as it also comes with his gang's name since he cause bloodshed before too, but this too much even for him as whatever he this morning came back at a brutal force and made its way on the floor in front of his legs.
As Black looked away from his ealier food from the floor, he notices Scoutker looking dead in at him in his eyes; those percing red eyes. Black couldn't believe that at a little colt did all this massacre in a short amount of time and didn't even look like he broke a sweat. But the evidence was right in front him as he finally comes to terms with his conscious to see why this colt was choosen as Gill's right hoof pony; he was a demon incarnate. As he shook himself, he decided to get away from this demon. It's was futile as for some unknown reason, he couldn't move. He couldn't even let out a single word as Scoutker was instantly in front of him.
"You know that was really fun, Black! Too bad your people were weak minded and it only lasted for a short while." Scoutker shrugged.
Black stayed silent as he looked at Scoutker in fear.
"Hmm? What's wrong with you? Cat got your tongue?" Scoutker giggled to himself "Oh god, that was so corny. anyways, the reason you can't move is because of my technique that I like to call "Puppet's Clock". It's named after the guy that I saw in my dreams one day. Don't worry about him though but the point is that I am able to bring out the fear in anypony's heart and manipulate it to my will. For example I could have made your crew slaughter each other like a puppet in on a string but instead I just made them paralyzed so i can do it myself."
If Black could cry, he would but can't on the account of him being paralyzed too by this move. After giving this speech to Black, Scoutker decided that it was enough talking to someone who is about to die by his hoof.
"You know Black? We could have got along in the future but you had to go be a dick and look where it got you? Mostly all of your crew is dead and it's basically your fault. Scoutker shrugged. " But it's cool though. You will be joining them soon enough." Scoutker gave right then gave him a Sadistic grin. " Now then, time to put you down like the dog you are."
It seems fate gave Black a little hope now that the Secretary Twins busted through the door looking angry as hell. However, that dropped when they at the bloodshed around the room. Star Crusher almost felt the urge to throw up but Light Breaker let out a low whistle and seemed to be rather impressed. "Not as bad when I made a mess in here before but it's a start".
"Oh shut up" Star Crusher said as she looked annoyed at her sister. This is going to be more when we have to explain this to our lord! Wait......where is Scoutker?
They both looked around until they found a little colt pointing a knife at bigger Stallion. Scoutker saw them and immediately dropped the knife. The hold he had on Black had suddenly released and caused the stallion to fall and pass out. Scoutker's whole demeanor changed and he shook in fear when Star Crusher stomping over to him.
"WHAT....HAPPENED HERE, SCOUTKER!?" Star yelled which much force to rival Gill's voice.
"Umm........ummm.....uh...." Scoutker was stand still of what to say. He knew if he told them what happened, he might get a punishment worse then what he did to these guys. Unless.........
"Um......I Love You"Scoutker said with a big smile.
....
....
Star had hoofpalmed her face while Light was laughing her ass off.
*
"And that's what happened." Scoutker said as he layed on his pillow.
Pinkamena didn't know what to say. This was first time her blood got this pumped from hearing somepony's story that involved him killing a entire crew by himself. Not only that, she seen his whole flashback. How this even possible? Did I see this colt's story with my own mind too. I guess there is more to me than I thought she thought.
"That...was.. AWESOME!" Pinkamena screamed.
"Huh?" Scoutker asked confused.
"Your Flashback, silly! It was the best thing I ever seen in my life! My favorite part was when you used your Puppet's Clock on that first guy that attacked and you made him slit his own throat while the others thought you did!"
"Hahaha well thanks. I never did get a chance to ma-what?"
"What's wrong?"
"You just said that you enjoyed watching my flashback describe your favorite part......"
"Yea and?"
This ignorance from this pink pony made him scream out. "YOU WATCHED MY FLASHBACK EVEN THOUGH YOU WEREN'T THERE! HOW DID YOU DO THAT!?"
Pinkamena looked startled. "What's wrong? Is that bad thing? can other ponies not see other people's flashbacks?"
Scoutker was amazed. Not only is this pony a ignorant to her surroundings sometimes, she can see through other people's mind. I mean, Unicorns can do that but they have to connect their horn with the other pony's head but this filly not an earth pony but saw an entire flashback without any connection. Seems there is more to her than just that cute stupid look of hers.
"Oh it's nothing um.....what's your name again?" Scoutker said while bending his head sideways.
"Pinkamena Diane Pie. But you can call me Pinkamena or Mena for short." Pinkamena giving off a nice smile.
"Pinkamena huh? Ok I will do to remember that."
As much as it was nice to see these two have a conversation, Gill was on a tight schedule now that he's back so he decided to intervene in their chat.
"Well it seems you two are getting along very well now. I guess that it's safe to assume say that she can stay with you, right Scoutker?" Gill looking down at Scoutker.
"Yea she's cool" Scoutker shrugged.
"Excellent! You two have hidden abilities no one else here has and I can't wait to have ya'll awaken them. While not only working together and getting close as best friends, i'm pretty sure your abilities will waken much sooner than you think. But Scoutker."
"Yes, Gill?"
"Your powers may be a blessing but it can also lead to your demise in the future. You need to learn to control your new-found blood-lust or you may end up loosing control of yourself. You understand?"
"Yes, sir" Scoutker looking shamefully on ground.
"Good. Because of your show earlier, your grounded for a week. You are a smart pony and you knew there was away to avoid that incident but instead you showed. I wouldn't be surprise if everypony is scared of you now or out for your head. Now if will excuse me, I have a few things to take care of now."
As Gill turned to walk out the door, he looked back at Pinkamena gave a smile. "Welcome to the Demon's Garden, Pinkamena. Wish you good luck in your adventures here while your hanging with this troublemaker here."
And with that, Gill disappeared in a instant flash. Pinkamena was shocked as she never seen a teleport that fast before. She was starting to wonder if he was really a Earth Pony or a Unicorn.
"So, Pinkamena" Scoutker said while interrupting her thought "Since we're roommates, you wanna go see the arcade room? They have so many games it's not even funny!"
"Sure!" Pinkamena shouted loudly.
As the two kids left the room and headed down the hall to the right, on the left was two watchful eyes that be belonged to two twins that smiled at the two that was going to bring change in the future.
"Mena? You ok?" Scoutker asked looking at a trance-looking Pinkamena.
"Huh? wha?" Pinkamena looking dazzled now that she's out of trance state.
"I asked were you ok? You been staring at the wall for at least 2 hours now."
"Really? That long? Haha it felt like months."
"What? What do me- ah never mind." Scoutker said with a chuckle. He almost forgot how Pinkamena was usually random back then.
Pinkamena looked at the time and noticed it was getting late and realized she didn't finish cleaning up the kitchen. "Looks like me being spaced out wasted time for us to clean up. Sorry, Scoutker"
"Nah, it's cool. We can finish this up before I leave." Scoutker said with smile. As the two resumed their clean of the kitchen, he thought it would be a good time to know what she thinking about. "So, do you know why you were spaced out?
"Yea. I was just think about the past and how i met Gill and you. It was good times back then and i learned a lot about clean killing with out making a public mess. Though I like to get dirty now and then these days." She said with a wink towards Scouter. He shrugged and laughed.
"Yep, I was little badass back then. I couldn't control my lust for blood and ended up making trouble in the garden. Now, I learned to control it and now it's pretty much apart of my killing style. I'm still called the Bloody Baker but i'm much on the laid back clean style of murdering my victims unlike you."
Pinkamena rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Don't knock it till you try it."
As soon they finished the cleaning, they walked to the front door of the bakery were Scoutker was about to head home. Luna's incompetent moon rose to the sky filling it with beautiful stars of the night. As Scoutker headed out the door and into the street, he realized he forgot to ask her something.
"Hey Mena." Scoutker asked.
"What's up? Pinkamena asked
"I was wondering can-"
"Tomorrow."
"Huh?
"You can see the basement tomorrow. That's where all the magic happens, duh."
Scoutker laughed. "You just love reading minds, don't you?
"I didn't read your mind. That was just a guess."
"By the way, Scoutker paused. "How do you get your shipment of ponies? I know you can't kill tall these ponies in Ponyville or it would raise suspicion as to many disappearances."
"Cloudsdale." Pinkamena said nonchalantly.
"Cloudsdale?"
"Yep. I have a supplier who ships me ponies from time to time. I she's also apart of the Wonderbolts she wouldn't be suspected."
"A Wonderbolt acquaintances huh? Nice. Anyways I have to go. See ya!" Scoutker shouted as he trotted down the road.
Pinkamena put the 'Closed' sign on the doorknob walked back into the bakery. Before going to her room, she walked to toward's the basement's door and made sure it was locked. After that she walked up stairs to her room. Then suddenly, a random thought came to her. I wonder what she's doing? I need a new a shipment soon so I think I'll contact her tomorrow as well.
It was just a normal day like every other day around the Wonderbolts. Fame. Fame is everywhere they go. Fame is where ever there casual hangout is. But mostly, fame is always during their work time.
As all the Wonderbolts was getting ready for well rounded break from their shows for a month, it didn't mean they would slack off on their work at the academy for there was still work to be done at the headquarters. Spitfire, Captain of Wonderbolts, knows all to well that most of the members would go out to Cloud 805, the most well known club in Cloudsdale , either to drink, get laid with other chicks or dudes, or start fights with other ponies. She was in her office finishing some of the paper they got from Canterlot about the new outfits that would be getting soon. After that, she plans on getting all the members together for quick lecture on what NOT to do on the well deserved vacation. This was all going through her head until Soarin, Vice-Captain of the Wonderbolts, came running in through the door breathing hard like he just got into a fight with a dragon.
“Um….should I even be asking why you look like you ran 500 laps around the field?” Spitfire asked looking confused but at the same time trying her best not to laugh.
Spitfire and Soarin have been the best of friends before their leaderships of the current Wonderbolts. From foalhood to now full grown adults, these two have worked hard to get were they’re at now and hold in their hoofs the future generation of young flyers's dreams everywhere.
"I was running away from her!" Soarin said with a angry face.
"Her?" Spitfire asked with a curious face.
"Yes her! She's trying to take me somewhere but I don't want to go! But no matter where I hide, she always manage to-
"SURPRIIIIIIISE!"
Soarin and Spitfire was startled as they saw Surprise bursting in from the office door.
"Me....." Soarin sighs in defeat.
"Watcha guys talking about?" Surprise asks while hopping on Soarin's back.
Surprise is a year younger then Spitfire but what is most shocking about this silly mare is that she's oldest member of the Wonderbolts, period. She was the first pony to ever be accepted in the Wonderbolts at the age of 8. The previous Captain of the Wonerbolts, Tempest Wind, assigned her to be his wing pony at the age of 10 and she became his Vice Captain at the age of 12. Her skills was kept secret from the press by the Wonderbolts themselves and was passed on as 'She's a very talented filly at her age. A Genius born out of a million ponies in the world.' When she reached the age of 20, Tempest had stepped down from Captain as he stated that it was his time to pass the torch to the next generation. Some months later, the rest of the oldest members had followed Tempest's hoof steps and retired too but Surprise was the only one that stayed. A Year Later, Spitfire had became the New Captain of Wonderbolts. She wanted to disagree the position because she believed the Surprise, being the oldest member, should be the Captain but Chairman Committee of the Wonderbolts told her that it was Surprise herself that recommend her for next Captain. Sometimes Spitfire try to ask Surprise about why she did what she did but Surprise always shrugs it off. Till this day, no matter how silly she is, Surprise is still a mystery to all ponies except her earth pony counterpart, Pinkie Pie.
"Surprise, we were talking about why you were chasing Soarin around like a mad mare." Spitfire asked with a warm smile.
"Well, since we are getting a 1 month vacation, I figured what way to kick off our vacation than to all go out to Cloud 805! "Surprise said beaming with glee.
"Uh......you want all of us to go clubbing with you?"
"Yep Yep! I already asked Firestreak, Lightning Streak, Misty and Wave Chill and they said they'll be there. I also asked Fleetfoot but she said her and Rapidfire already got plans for tonight. Rapid also said something about not letting pretty boy get too drunk."
Soarin looked away not wanting to remember what happened that day.
"Well that sounds um..... nice Surprise. But that places is a little expensive for my money at the moment." Spitfire said with said face.
"Oh don't worry about, Spitfire. This is my treat for all my friends and I made reservations."
"Well.......I guess I need a drink from all this work. Sure Surprise, I'll come with you guys."
After hearing Spitfire's answer, Surprise did a backflip cheering out loud. meanwhile, Soarin was having conflicted thoughts about going back to the club that almost put him in the hospital.
"Surprise, I don't think it's okay for me to go back there. You know I almost died!" Soarin blurted out.
"No you didn't, silly! You just almost lost all your pretty little teeth. Besides it was your fault for kissing those mares WHO had boyfriends by the way!" Surprise said while patting Soarin on the head.
"I WAS DRUNK!"
"Wellll, DRINK RESPONSIBLY!"
Soarin couldn't retaliate after that comment so he looked away. All the while he spots Spitfire trying so hard not to laugh the scene in front of her. The death glare Soarin gave her still didn't calm her from laughing to herself.
"Anyways" Surprise spoke as she started walking towards the door, " I have to go get some things sorted out for tonight but Spitfire meet with me by the entrance gate when ya get finished, ok?"
"No problem." Spitfire said with a smile.
"Great! oh and Soarin?"
"Yea?"
"I will watch out for you so you won't get into any trouble. But if I see you talking to any other mares,I'll slice their throats and then I'll cut off your dick, okay luv?" Surprise said with a straight smile face.
"WAIT WHAT!?!?"
"I said I'll look after you, silly!" Surprise walks towards Soarin and gives him a kiss on the lips. "Welp, See ya later!"
As Surprise bounces her way out of room and down the hall, Soarin turns to Spitfire with the most confuse look on his face. "Spitfire...what just happened?"
At this point, Spitfire couldn't hold it any longer and released her all the laughter builded up in her while Soarin continued to look at her with an annoyed face expression. Then again, the way she looks while laughing always makes his cheeks blush since she looks so cute look that.
"Hahaha I'm sorry Soar!" Spitfire wiping tears from her eyes,"But you should know at the is point that you can't explain Surprise."
"Yea yea" Soarin said with his head down.
"Aww don't look like that." Spitfire said while getting up from her chair walking towards Soarin."Tell ya what. Before I go meet up with her and we lock up the academy for the month, how about you and I go get some races in on the field?"
At that Soarin, shot up with the biggest smile on his face that made Spitfire blush. "You're on! First to 10?"
"Sure!"
As they walked out in the hallway and spitfire locked her office door, she gave Soarin and sincere smile. "And Soarin? Don't worry about the what happened that night at the club, ok? Surprise says she's going to look after you. I mean what's the worst that can happen this time?"
Soarin gave her a Are-You-Serious look.
"Spitty..... with Surprise looking out for me, A lot of shit can with her around in just 1 day."
