What wold you do if you ware trapped in a school with no way out. Fallow Flash Sentery and his classmates as they try to survive
Harmony peak academy is the most presages school in all of Equestria. Only problem is that it's bin turned in to a prison. Now Flash Sentry and his class mates must find a way out and survive the deadly class trial
Harmony’s Peak Academy is the most prestigious school in all of Equestria. It acts as a beacon of hope for the future. The academy's student body is made up of the best of the best of the best, all chosen by Princess Celestia herself. The only way to get in is to be invited and the the only way to be invited is to be nothing short of exceptional. So who would have guessed that a nobody like Flash Sentry would be invited?
Standing at the front gate was a orange pegasus with a blue mane and a shield and lightning bolt cutie mark. He wore a green hoody. "I still can't believe it."
Flash Sentry: Superpony-level luckster
"I mean, out of all the ponies, why me?" He mumbled to himself. "I'm not special, I don't have any amazing skills. I'm just average." Flash never stood out at his old school. His grades were average and so were his tastes in music and movies.
"Well, no use standing here." Flash took his first steps through the gate. "Uh!" All of a sudden the world began to spin around him. He began to stumble all over until he fell to the ground. The Pegasus began to black out. The last image the colt saw was the front entrance of the school.
“Huh." The the blue maned pony woke up. He looked around to find that he was now in a classroom instead of the front entrance. After a few minutes, Flash realized that it was no ordinary classroom. The first thing that was odd was that all the windows were all locked shut with iron plates. He taped his hoof on the plate to see that it was shoed.
"Wow, they must really want their students to focus," Flash said to himself. He also noticed that there were security cameras all over the classroom. He then turned around to the desk that he was sleeping on a moment ago to find a piece of paper. The paper was a crudely drawn pamphlet. "This look like a pamphlet for the school," he said.
The paper said, "Student orientation in the gym at 8:00," on the front.
Flash looked at the clock to see that it was already 7:58. "Oh no, I’m going to be late!" He said as he dropped the paper and ran out the door. Flash ran as fast as he could to the gym. On his way he noted that the school was empty. No sign of either students or teachers. It was almost as if Flash was the last pony in existence. He stopped dead in his tracks when he passed the main entrance.
“What the hell!” a huge vault like door now stood at the entrance to the school. Ok the metal plates on the windows are weird enough but this ridiculous. Did i just entered a school or some sort of twisted prison. Now a sense of fear filled the colts mind. he ran strate to the gym in a panic and busted through the dooors
"’Bout time you got here!"
"Is that everyone?"
"I think so."
Flash entered the gym to find 14 others. Not knowing what else to do Flash raised a hoof and introduced himself. "Hi, my name is Flash Sentry. Glad to meet all of you."
"Well I guess we should all introduce ourselves," another pony said.
“Ooh, me first! Me first!" The second one to introduce herself was a pink earth pony with a rose mane and a pink dress. "I'm Pinkie Pie, and I'm so happy meet all of you!"
Pinkie Pie: Superpony-level party animal
Pinkie Pie was known for her amazing parties. They were so incredible that everypony had heard of them. The Princess has even asked her to plan the Grand Galloping Gala on several occasions! "Maybe after orientation you can help me set up a party to celebrate the new school year!"
Wow, I can't believe she's here! I heard her parties were legendary, Flash thought.
"By the way I feel I should tell you that we're trapped. We've tried every way we can think of," a female voice said out of nowhere. Flash turned around to find a lavender unicorn. She had a pink highlight and a braid in her purple hair. She wore a purple jacket and a red tie over a dress shirt. "Oh I forgot to give you my name. It’s Twilight Sparkle."
Twilight Sparkle: Superpony-level… Uhh… Let’s just keep going.
"So, how did you get invited to the school?" Twilight asked." You don't look too impressive to me."
"Oh, apparently I won some sort of lottery," Flash said, rubbing the back of his head. "I guess I'm not too lucky if it landed me into some evil experiment. So, what's your claim to fame?"
"I...don't remember. I only remember waking up a few minutes ago in the AV room. All I do know is that we need to get out."
"Well, I guess I'll be seeing you around"
"Hey, doesn't Trixie get a introduction?" Everyone's eyes were now on the blue unicorn in a sailor style uniform." Fine then. I am The Great and Powerful Trixie! Of course, you all know that already."
Trixie Lulamoon: Superpony-level celebrity
Trixie was an up-and-coming magic performer. She had made a name for herself performing magical feats for ponies of all ages and was very well-known. It's even been rumored that she'll be trying her hoof at singing, with no evidence if it’s true or not.
"I can't believe it. I've never met a real celebrity before," Flash said after the unicorn interrupted.
"Trixie is sure it a real honor to meet her, too," Trixie said stroking her own ego.
"Excuse me, little filly, but if anyone deserves a formal introduction, it's me." A right proper voice called out. Soon the focus was on a white unicorn stallion with a blond mane wearing a green suit. "I am Prince Blueblood, 13th heir to the royal throne."
Prince Blueblood: super pony level scion
As he said, Prince Blueblood was a part of the royal family. He has been groomed for his entire life for greatness. The stallion was schooled in government, economies, foreign cultures, and law. So there was no question that a pony like him would be invited to this academy. "Now I demand someone tell me why we're all trapped here."
Wow, two overeager airheads. I don't think the building can hold the two of them, Flash thought.
"I thought I smelled the air of a self-centered jerk," another regal voice said. The voice belonged to a white mare. Her mane was purple and she wore a black, gothic dress.
"Ah, Rarity, I didn't think I'd see you hear." Blueblood said.
"The feeling’s mutual," the mare now known as Rarity replied.
Rarity: Superpony-level high roller
Rarity was an expert gambler. Her skills on the card tables had earned her not only a place in high society but also the title of "The Queen of Lies". It’s even been rumored that she was able to win over 10 million bits in one night and bankrupt everypony else. "If I'm correct the last time I saw you I think I cleaned you out at your aunt's last dinner party."
"That's only because you cheated, you hussy!" Blueblood yelled with a blush on his face
"Why don't y'all get a room and let the rest of as have a turn?!" A southerner voice interrupted, defusing the argument. The voice came from a orange mare with a blonde mane tied in a green bow. Her school uniform was ripped up and in bad condition. Standing behind her was a taller red stallion with dark orange mane. He only wore a white button down shirt over an orange t-shirt and a black school uniform jacket on his shoulders. "My names Applejack and this here is my brother Big Mac."
"Howdy," the red colt said
Applejack: Superpony-level fighter
Big Macintosh: Superpony-level shaman
Applejack was a top-tier fighter. She's been named the country's top fighter female, three years in a row. She even became the first female to participate in the male divine. They say that her rear kick was considered to be a lethal weapon and made two grown stallions be hospitalized
Her brother Big Mac on the other hoof was a famous fortune teller. He had many clients, ranging from housewives to celebrities. With his life on a farm and understanding of the spirit world made him a very wise colt.
"Well then," another voice cried out, "If we're all just introducing ourselves whenever we want then I guess it's time for Harmony’s Peak Academy's awesomest new student to make herself known." All of a sudden a rainbow colored blur flew up in to the air. It did a few loops, stealing the attention of everyone. Soon, hovering above the stands in the gym, was a light blue pegasus with a rainbow colored mane holding her hooves up in the air. She was dressed in a white jacket with metal pieces and a white shirt with a splash of red. "The one and only Rainbow Dash!"
Rainbow Dash: Superpony-level all star
Rainbow Dash was an ace flyer. She was a prodigal flier, even as a filly. Her speed and skill was on par with the leader of the Wonderbolts herself, Spitfire. Rainbow Dash held more records and earned more awards than anyone else in her old school. She has even performed the Sonic Rainboom. Everypony was silent.
"You’ve got to admit, she really knows how to make an entrance," a young voice said.
Flash turned to find not a pony but rather a small purple dragon with green spikes and wearing a gray suit with a orange tie ."Wow I didn't know dragons can go to this school." He said in amazement.
"Well it's not too often. In fact I think I'm the only dragon in history to attend Harmony peak." The dragon said as he put both his claws behind his head. "By the way, the name’s Spike."
Spike: Superdragon-level otaku
Spike is a huge comic book fan. His knowledge of the fictional world crossed many genres. From sappy romances to action packed thrillers. However his real achievement is in his almost professional writing and artwork. He sold over a thousand copies of his spinoff comic of "The Power Ponies" called "The Tale of Humdrum and Radians" at his school festival.
"HEY!" another male cried out. It was a white unicorn with a blue mane. He wore a white military uniform with a red leg band on his right front leg and was using his magic to get Rainbow Dash down to the ground. "I know we're unsupervised but stunts like that are not welcome in a school environment."
Shining Armor: Superpony-level compass
Shining Armor was a model student at the Royal Guard academy. His grades are among the top in the country and his record is spotless. Many of his teachers believed that one day Shining Armor would become Captain of the Royal Guards. His one flaw was that he was a bit too keen on keeping order in a school environment.
Rainbow Dash ignored him and stuck out her tongue.
"Um, excuse me, Rainbow Dash, but I think you should listen to Mr. Armor," a timid yellow pegasus said as she walked up to Shining. The pegasus was dressed in a black cardigan over a dress shirt and a red and white bow in her pink hair. "I mean, if that's ok with you, that is..."
"Oh yeah? And who are you to take the side of Mr. Stick-Up-His-Plot?" Rainbow Dash said as she came down to the yellow pegasus's level.
"Oh.. it's-- um, my name is Fluttershy," she said as she started to clam up.
Fluttershy: Superpony-level model
Fluttershy was a fashion model that had taken Equestria by storm. She was discovered a year ago by the famous Photo Finish. Though shy in nature, she doesn't show it in her photos, always showing an air of confidence in her looks -- not to mention the truth that many found her quite pretty. Fluttershy also admitted that she always donates a large part of her paycheck to animal charities.
"Hm... Fluttershy. Now, why does that sound familiar?" Rainbow Dash asked as she rubbed her chin.
"I thinks it's because we both went to Golden Wing's School for Young Flyers," Fluttershy said. "I used to watch you at the flying competitions."
"Um...excuse me, but are you Fluttershy, the famous model?" Flash said as he came closer to the pegasus. "I'm a huge fan of your work. You look just as cute as in your photos."
"Oh, why thank you!" she responded as she pushed a lock of hair away from her face, blushing. "Though I hope you know that they use makeup and other stuff, I'm really not that special."
"I'm sorry," Shining Armor interrupted. "But we have three other students and it would be rude if we don't give them a chance to introduce themselves."
"’Bout time. Thanks, hard flank," a deep voice said. Waking up to the group was a large, white, muscular pegasus with a buzz cut. He wore a long black coat and sunglasses above his eyes. "The name’s Bulk Biceps, leader of the Rad Snowflake gang."
Bulk Biceps: Superpony-level outlaw biker
Bulk Biceps was the leader of the ruthless biker gang, the Red Snowflake. Unlike other biker gangs, the Red Snowflake actually protected the helpless. It started as a way to help with Bulk's younger brother's bullying problem -- and soon became the most well-known gangs in Equestria.
"Me next! My name is Seabreeze and I want to get out of here ASA now!" a high-pitched voice screamed.
"Um, excuse me, Seabreeze, but where are you?" Twilight asked as everyone looked around the gym.
"I'm down here!" The voice yelled. Everyone looked down to find a dark blue, fairy-like pony with pink hair wearing a green dress. "And yes, I'm a breezie. What of it?!"
Seabreeze: Superbreezie-level programmer
Seabreeze was an expert hacker, programmer, and can even build his own computers. His small size and vast knowledge allowed him to build much more advanced computers and processing systems than any other technician in the world.
"Oh my goodness!" Fluttershy said a she leaned in closer to the breezie. "You are so adorable!" She then posited to scoop up the small creature in her forelegs.
"Oh, come on, Fluttershy, let her go. It's clear that she's in a bad mood," Spike said.
"I'm a boy!" The programmer said with an unamused face.
"Why are you in a dress. then?"
"Because your currency doesn't convert well into mine and the only thing I could wear was my older sister's hoof-me-downs," Seabreeze said as the yellow mare let him go.
"Wow, rough."
"And I'm Derpy!" The last student revealed herself as a gray, lazy-eyed Pegasus with a blond mane. Everyone then turned to the back of the room to find the young mare. She wore a blue one-piece bathing suit under a skirt and a red jacket.
Derpy Hooves: Superpony-level swimmer
Derpy may be a mess on land and in the air, but when it came to the water, no one was a match for her. Her swimming abilities were almost Olympic-level. However, she was still teased by her classmates for her eyes. "I'm really happy to meet all of you!"
"Same here!" Pinkie Pie said as she came in to hug the gray pony.
"Now everypony knows everypony else's names," a new voice said. Everybody looked around to try to find the speaker.
"Who are you!?" Flash said.
"Why I'm the new principal of the school" soon a pink puff of smoke appeared on the stage. "You may address me as Principal Discord." Everyone gasped. Standing on the stage now was a tall dragon like creature made up of a lot of different body parts from different animals. This strange creator was also wearing a violet suit.
"Why on earth did you trap us?!" Flash yelled.
"What happened to Principal Luna?!" Twilight yelled following Flash
"And why aren't you a black and white taking bear that will just be a robot controlled by Fluttershy!?" Pinkie Pie asked out of nowhere.
"WHAT!!" Fluttershy yelled
"With the last two first" Discord said with a smile slowly creeping on his face." The resign I'm not a bear is because we're not going to use the original script on this story." He then flue over to Fluttershy "Hear Fluttershy have this" with a snap of his fingers a small flash of light caused a small stuffed Baer toy to appear in her grasp. The Baer was white one side and black on the other. "As for Luma, well my lips are sealed on that one."
he then disappeared and then reappeared next to Flash with a lion's paw over his shoulder." And to answer your question lover boy, I trapped you hear to spread chaos. After all I am the spirit of disharmony." He then disappeared again only to reappear back on the stag."and to do that I figured why not start by sending Celetie's precious beacon of hope in to the drakes deps of despair."
"Listen hear. I don't care who you are, you better let us out before me and my new friends hear buck you up real good." Rainbow Dash said as she, Bulk, and Applejack got ready for a brawl.
"Hay these no need to get violent." Discord said trying to calm the three down." The way to get out is quiet easy."
"Then I demand you tell me how this instant." Blue Blood said.
"The way to get out of hear is the same way you get out of any other high school." In a flash of light he the changed his clothing to a gown and cap. " graduate"
"But how are we supports to graduate if there's no teachers?" Flash asked
"ooh that's the fun part." Discord said as he changed back to his suit and started pace back and forth on stag ." You see I pondered for weeks on the best way to have all of you fall in to despair. And then it hit me. Why not have incense life's end others"
"Watt you want us to murder each other!?" Seabreez yelled out
"But I don't want to kill anypony" Derpy cried
"Yes. Stab,cut,burn,bludgeon,or poison, any way you want to do it is fine by me." The principle said. "And the last one standing without without anyone knowing it was theme gets to graduate."
Soon everyone's face had a look of shock on it. They couldn't believe what this creature was saying. They had only met each other a moments ago and now there were being forced to kill.
"We won't kill each other. True some of us mite be rude but not murderer" Rarity said.
"Well then you all can sit hear and let your hair turn gray"
"Hu, do I have a gray hair?" Rarity said frantically
"Your a monster" Said Twilight.
"Be that as it may I still have other stuff I need to get to." Discord then clapped his hands together. Out of nowhere strange rectangular devices appeared in front of everyone." These are your student IDs That'll allow you to uses some of the facilities in the school. Now let's go over the rules." The students looked at there IDs to see what the rules are as read them off
Rule1: All students must spend the rest of there days in the school.
Rule2: Students can move freely threw the school at any time
Rule3: 10:00pm to 7:00am is considered "night time". The water will be turned off and some of the areas will be off laments at this time.
Rule4: Tampering with the cameras and violence against the principal is prohibited.
Rule5: Sleeping anywhere other then the dorm rooms will be considered sleeping in class.
Rule6: breaking any of rules will result in severe punishment.
Rule7: the criminal who kills a fellow student can leave as long as they can hide the guilt from the others
Rule8: additional rule will be added if needed
"As long as we play by theses rules then everything will go swimmingly" Discord said as he finished reading the rules off his own ID. He then threw the ID behind him as it exploded in midair. "Anyway my job done. Night time begins in two hours. Ta Ta for now." In another puff of smoke he disappeared. Everyone looked around to see if hi'll reappear again
I can't believe it. My first day of class and me and my fellow classmates are now trapped in some sort of chaos god's twisted game. I'm support to be the super pony level luckster. But I'm anything but. I'm the super pony level unluckster.
After orientation the group gathered up in the cafeteria. Everyone's face had a look of both fear and sadness. A strange creature who just did who knows what to their principal and is holding them hostage with the only way out is to kill someone. A situation like that would suck the hope out of anyone. Well almost anyone.
"Hey what's with all the sad faces!?" Pinkie Pie said unaware of everyone's mood." It's the first day of the new school year. We should be celebrating. "Everyone looked at her. There expressions unchained.
How on earth is she so happy at a time like this. Flash thought to himself. I mean we're all being asked to kill each other and she as peppy as ever.
"Um Pinkie Pie." Spike said as he waked up to her." I really don't think we're all in the mood to party right now. Not after what we all went threw."
Pinkie looked around to all the other students. "Oh!" She said now releasing the weight of their situation.
"Hay I have an idea." The attention was now on Seabreez who was floated above everyone else." If we have five unicorns then why can't any of them use there magic to get us out."
"You think we didn't try that you insect." Trixie said." The school has an enchantment that prevents unicorns from using high level magic. We can only use levitation and other beginner level spells. That's why we can't use magic to get out."
"I real worried about Applebloom." Stated Applejack changing the subject.
"Who's Applebloom?" Flash asked
"She mine and Big Mac's little sister." The fighter replied. "Yer see we're were suppose to be there when she got home from her first day of middle school. She's going to be real heart broken when she see we're not there."
"Eyupp" said Big Mac
"I feel the same way about my sister Sweetie Bell" Rarity said as she came up to the Apple siblings. "She must think I went out gambling again. I must be the worst big sister ever"
"Hm. Wonder how the squirts doing" Rainbow Dash said to herself as she leaned back in her chair, throwing her hoofs behind her head.
"I really hope Slugger ok." Flash said rubbing the back of his head.
"You got a little brother too" Bulk said as he put a hoof over Flash's shoulder. " don't worry I'm hear for you bro. I know exactly what your going threw."
Twilight soon turned to Shining Armor. "Do you have any siblings." She asked
"Yeah" he said in a low tone. "A little sister. Her name is...." He paused mid sentence as he scratched his head looking for the words."....I can't remember her name! I can't remember anything about her! I can remember everything else except her" he said in a panic
"looks like you have the same problem I do. It obvious this amnesia is unnatural. We both know something Discord doesn't want us to know." Twilight said as she look at the rest of the students. "I think we're the only two who's memories have been wiped"
"I really wish He was here." Derpy said to herself." He would know what to do and no one would half to die."
"Who are you talking about?" Fluttershy asked.
"Oh Uh. no one!" Derpy yelled with a blush on her face.
"Hay! I think we have bigger problems than your siblings!" Blue Blood said with a look of anger on his face." How are we going to live if the pony next to you mite be a killer." Soon everybody was looking at each other with concern. They all have forgotten about the fact
He's right. How can we go on if the pony we just made friends with will end up putting a knife in owe heart. Flash though.
"Well I guess we all got to trust each other then." Pinkie Pie said keeping her optimism.
"Are you mad!" Blue Blood yelled slamming his hoofs on the table." We all just met each other a few hours ago. I don't even know the names of half of the ponies hear and you want me to trust that you won't kill us all in owe sleep"
"Now why would I do that?" Replied The pink pony.
"It's the only way as far as we know to get out of hear." The Prince yelled, his anger becoming greater.
"Excuse me!" Fluttershy said as she came between the Pinkie and Blue Blood."I think we're all just tired after such a long day. I feel that after a good night sleep we'll be able to tackle this problem together." She said as everyone started to calm down.
"I'm going to have to agree with Fluttershy. It has been a long day." Twilight replied.
"All right then" Rarity said as she stamped one of her hoofs on the ground. "But let's all make an oath to see each other here tomorrow morning alive. Agreed."
"Agreed!" Everyone yelled all together.
one by one all the students began to leave the cafeteria to there respective dorm rooms.
Flash entered his dorm room. It a wasn't very special or anything. The walls were decorated in red. There was a desk with a small lamp on it, a bed with light blue sheets, a monitor on the wall, a door that led to a bathroom, and the same security cameras that were all over the school. The windows in the room were also bolted shut with iron plates. Flash looked around his new room to find a key with a keychain that resembled his cutie mark and a note on the desk. The note said
Dear student
I felt that I should leave you this note to tell you about your new dorm room
-The water is tern off during the "Night Time"
-All rooms have locks on the doors that can be opened with the key provided.
-All boy's bathroom doors don't have locks but all girl's bathroom doors do
-Only one student can sleep in a room at a time. So don't get any ideas
-There is a tool set in the desk drawer of all boy's dorm rooms and a sewing kit in all girl's rooms. Do with them as you please
any way, good luck surviving. You're going to need it
Principal Discord
After reading the note flash opened the draw to find the tool set that was mention in the note.
he must have just given us this stuff so we can use it to kill each other with it that sicko.
Flash crumpled the note and threw it into the small trashcan in the room. He then laid down on his bed and looked at the plain white ceiling with both hoofs behind his head and began to nod off to sleep. Why me. Why do I have to live in this hell. I can only imagine what mom and Slugger are going threw. Not to mention how everyone else is feeling. I know I won't kill anyone but how long will it take for one of the others to snap. I need to find a way out of here.fast
*knock* *knock *knock*
Flash's dream was interrupted by a knocking at the door.He looked at the clock to find that it was almost 10:00. He got out of bed and made his way to the door. Fear started to fill his head as there could be a merrier on the other side. He slowly began to open the door.
"Oh. Hi Flash." It was Spike." Do you mind if we take."
"Yeah. Come in" flash said as he invited the young dragon in to his room. "So what do you want to take about?"
"Well you see." Spike's cheeks started to turn red as he started to fiddle with his claws." I sorta, maybe have a crush on one of the girls" the room was silent as a small grin started to form on Flash's face." So do you have any advice on picking up fillies? The only experience I have is with throws dating sim games and I thought you mite know something"
"Spike, I have to admit I not to experienced in this sort of thing." The orange colt replied as his cheeks turned red. "I don't know. Get her flowers or something. I think that's a good place to start. Then try to get to know her."
Spike then put a claw to his chin." Yeah. I think that might work." A big smile formed on the dragon's face." Thanks Flash"
"Don't mention it. Who is it any way." Flash said as he waved a hoof.
"Hey I'm not telling." Spike said in defends
"Oh come on. I'll tell you mine."
Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong!
There conversion was cut short by a school bell soon followed by Discord's voice on the loudspeaker.
"Attention students! It is 10:00pm and the start of the Night Time. The water is turned off, the cafeteria is closed, and all students are advised to return to their dorm rooms. Pleasant dreams."
" I guess we're going to have to get uses to that. Anyway I'm off to bed. Goodnight." Spike said as he began to yawn.
As the young dragon began to leave the room Flash followed." Yeah see you in the morning." The Pegasus said as he closed the door. He then whet back to his bed and after a few hours finally fell asleep
Day Time
"Rise and shine everyone. It is 7:00 am. Time to wake up and sees the day."
The blue mained colt woke up to the anointment hoping that what he just whet threw was all just a bad dream. Unfortunately when he turned his head he found the metal plats that reminded him that he was cutoff from the outside world. Flash got out of bed and whet to the bathroom to start what was going to a new morning routine.
After taking a shower, brushing his teeth, and getting dressed Flash made his way to the cafeteria. As the student entered the dining area he saw that there were already fore ponies around the main table. Shining Armor, Seabreeze, Derpy, and Applejack.
"Good morning Sentry." Shining Armor said in a upbeat tone." Have a seat, breakfast is almost done."
"Thank you." Sentry said in a happier tone as he grabbed a chair next to Derpy who was already stuffing her face with muffins." I don't think I had anything to eat since we got here." He sat down as he smelled the aroma from the kitchen." Who's cooking by the way. It smells delicious."
"Fluttershy" Seabreeze said sitting on a tipped over pepper shaker that was on the table
"Applejack can you help me bring out the food." Fluttershy asked her voice coming from the kitchen.
"Sheer thing Sugarcube." Applejack said as she walked to the kitchen.
"Food, awesome I'm starving." Rainbow Dash said as she, along with Bulk, Pinkie Pie, Blue blood, Trixie, and Big Mac entered the cafeteria. They all assembled around the table as Fluttershy flue out of the kitchen wearing a pink apron and caring two metal trays. One with cooked eggs and the other with toast.
"Hope y'all hungry" Applejack said coming out of the kitchen with a tray of Hay Bacon on her back. Soon all three trays were on the table.
"This all looks delicious." Trixie said amazed with the spread.
"Thanks. it was nothing really" The model said." I learned how to cook from my grandmother."
"All right then, let's dig in" Bulk said as he began to put food onto his plate.
"Don't you have any manners you uncivilized brute" Blue Blood said as he interrupted the bicker's attempt at food. "We have to watt for everyone to be seated before we eat"
Soon after saying that Spike ran into the cafeteria in a freeze."GU...GU...GUYS!"
Everyone turned and looked at the dragon. "Calm down little fella" Big Mac said." Now tell us what's wrong."
"Th....Th....Th"
"there's been a muddier." Twilight announced as she came up behind Spike.everyone's jaws dropped in disbelief. They all looked at each other in worry* before they all ran to the one classmate it could be. Leading the charge was Flash Sentry.
Thoughts began to fill the Pegasus's head. Why? We all made a promise to see each other alive. Rarity was the one who suggested the promise. Who could have fallen so deep into disperse that they would kill.
When everyone came down the hall they saw that the gambler's door was broken open. The students all piled into the doorway. The site was so horrifying that Derpy had to go to a nearer by trash can to throw up. The room was a mess and the floor was covered in blood. And in the center of it all was a white unicorn who's cote was stained red as she laid there with her mouth wide open staring at her classmate with dead blue eyes.
"Where's that trust you were taking about now" Blue Blood said looking strait at Pinkie Pie.
"Shut up Blue Blood. This is series" Pinkie replied her eyes still fixed on the room
Flash was speechless. He wasn't the only one upsets. He looked at Spike as tears began to roll down his face. I think it's a safe bet that Rarity was the one that spike had a crush on. I feel sorry for the little guy. Soon the anointments came on
Attention students. A dead body has been found. All students please assemble in the gym.
"DAMN YOU DISCORD!!!" Spike yelled at the top of his lungs
The students all assembled in the gym. All of them were upset with the situation except for Twilight who was quite level headed about seeing one of her new friends dead. they all continued to exchanged looks at each other before they were interrupted with a formula puff of pink smoke.
"Wow I didn't expect for someone to die so soon." Discord said as the smoke cleared. He was wearing a blue kimono with a pink cloud design and held a bamboo fan." I thought it would take at least a few more days before till we see some action. One of you must really want to get out of hear." He said fanning himself.
"Cut the crap Discord we all know it was you! You sick twisted....whatever you are" Applejack yelled.
"Hay! Hay! Hay!" Discord said holding up two empty hands. "I will not stand here and be insulted. I'm innocent hear and I know for a fact that it was one of you who ended poor little Rarity's life." He then appeared leaning up agnes Applejack in what looked to be Rarity's clothing.
"And do how we know you're not lying?" Rainbow Dash yelled
"what's the point of the seventh rule if I'm just going to kill you off myself." Discord replied as he changed back into his kimono. As soon as said that everyone started to remember the rules that he listed off yesterday.
Rule 7: the criminal who kills a fellow student can leave as long as they can hide the guilt from the others
"Trixie has been meaning to ask this but what do you mean by 'hide the guilt?" Trixie said in confusion.
"Well I guess I should have explained this earlier" the principal said as he returned to the stage and held the fan in both hands." In fact that's the whole reason I called you all hear in the first place. You see it one thing to kill a pony. It's another to kill a pony and get away with it. So to see if this menderer did cumin the perfect crime we'll hold a class trial."
"ooh a class trial, that sounds like fun" Pinkie said
"Oh and it will be my friend" Discord said patting her on the head. He then turned around to everybody else in the room." You all have one hour to find clues to try and find the real culprit. To help you out I put an autopsy report in all of your IDs." A beeping sound came from everyone's IDs. They all took them out to find that the screen said " autopsy report: case 1 has been added."
Autopsy report :case 1
Victim: Rarity
Cause of death: saver blood lost.
Time of death: 3:32am
Location of death: dorm room No.8
"After we figure out who did it they will be punished just like the society of order you all ones live in”
“And what if refuse to participate?” Trixie asked
"Then I’ll see to it you end up just like you're little gambler friend.” After he said that there was a brief silence. “Any who see you all at the trial" discord said as he disappear.
"what does he mean by 'punished?" Seabreeze asked looking at everyone else.
"I don't know and I don't care. There's a mender among us and I'm going to find them." Blue Blood said as he made his way to the exit.
"Not so fast pretty boy!" Applejack yelled stopping the Prince in his tracks. "How do we know you a't the culprit and you're off to cover yer tracks."
"she's right, any one of us could be the killer." Flash agreed with the southern mare.
"We need to assign a pair of volunteers to keep guard . It's The only way to make sure we're not doing anything that can tamper with the crime seen" Shining Armor said.
"YEAH!” Bulk yelled. "Good idea. Me and Big Mac heart will guard the crime scene. How bout it bro!"
"Eeyup"
Blue Blood had a pissed off look on his face. "All right then. Come with me um Trixie was it" He said as he looked at Trixie.
"Ah yes The Grate Trixie will accompany you your majesty." Trixie said as she waked up to the prince with a smile on her face.
"Your majesty" Blue Blood said as a smile slowly appeared on his face." My you are quite a well raised mare"
"Well it's not everyday a prince asks Trixie to help him" The blue unicorn replied with a sly look on her face. The two unicorns continued to take and laughed as they left the gym.
Flash turned and saw that Spike was still crying and waked up to him "Hey Spike are ok." The Pegasus asked with concern for the young dragon.
Spike's claws were balled up into a fist as tears ran down his face. "Who?!" He yelled as the turned his head. "Who could have killed someone so beautiful?" He then wrapped his arms around Flash's neck.
"It's alright Spike" Flash said as he tried to confer the young comic fan. “We're going find out
“You don’t get it Flash.” Spike said still sobbing. “ you see she was the one i was talking about last night.”
“I sorta figured that out already.” Flash said as he rubbed the back of his head.
“Is it really that obvious”
“Don’t worry Spike.” Derpy came up with a small smile on her face. “Why don’t we go to the cafeteria and get something to eat". The young dragon said nothing as he followed the gray mare.
One by one the students exited the gym and headed to the dorm room where Rarity's dead body laid.
Day time
Dorm room No.8 (Rarity’s room)
The room already had several students investigating. Seabreeze, BlueBlood, Trixie, and Twilight. Flash waked into the doorway that had Bulk and Big Mac gardening the door on both sides and began to look around. The first thing he noticed was the purple unicorn examining the dead body. However Flash stopped in the doorway and looked over it. “Wow the killer really did a number on the door”
“Actually the door was locked when I found the body” Twilight said . “I had to break it down when Spike tried to wake Rarity up.”
Flash then walked over to the body. “So did you find anything?”
Twilight was silent for a moment before she placed a hoof over the white unicorn’s neck. “After examining the body i found a deep cut on her neck.”
“So was that what killed her?” Flash asked
“Most likely”
New Ammo
Cut on victim’s neck: Most likely what caused Rarity to die.
“I also found that her left fore leg is broken” Twilight added as she put her hoof onto her chin. “Which makes me think that Rarity tried to fight back”
New Ammo
Broken fore leg: The killer must have broke it when Rarity fought back.
“Wow your really good at this” Flash said as he looked over the body. “You must have been like a detective of something”
The mysterious mare’s cheeks began to turn red as she looked away from the orange colt. “I don’t know about that but I do remember reading a lot of mystery novels.”
The two laughed for a moment before they continued the investigation. “Hey check this out.” The colt said as he pulled out a length of rope from under the body.
New Ammo
Rope: It was found under the body and is about 6 feet
“The killer must have taken this from the utility closet.” Twilight said
“HAY! Look what I found” Seabreeze yelled. Both Twilight and Flash turned to the fairy like pony. he held up a ripped piece of paper with writing on it. The paper said
Rarity
We need to talk face to face. You're the only one I feel I can trust. Leave your door unlock and I will be there by 3:30. Tell no one.
The rest of the note seems to have been ripped off. The only thing left on the paper was two triangles where the rip was.
New Ammo
Note: The senders name seems to be ripped off
“Looks like the killer was smart enough to tear their name off the note before leaving” Blueblood said
Rarity was a smart mare. She wouldn't have left her door open unless it was a pony who she trusted very well. Flash thought. “Where did you find this”
“Over there by the sewing kit.” Seabreeze said as he pointed to the small plastic box on the floor. The box was full of needles but only had three spools of thread. Red, dark green, and light pink. There was also a diagram of a pony body with pressure points on the back of the lid.
New Ammo
Sewing kit: The same sewing kit that's in every girl’s room
The next thing the Pegasus investigated was the large object on the floor. The object was a gilded sword. It was unsheathed and had blood on the blade. The sheath was on the floor next to it.
New Ammo
Gilded sword: If this isn't the murder weapon I don’t know what is.
“Blek” Blueblood yelled in disgust as he came up to flash. “That sword is so cheap. just look at it there's gold flakes everywhere.”
“Theirs even some leading out the door.” Trixie said as everyone turned their heads to the small trail of gold flakes that went out the room.
]New Ammo
Gold flakes: The sword is so cheap that the gold comes off just by touching it
“Lets find out where this trail leads” Twilight said as she began to wake out the doorway.
“Watt I’m coming too.” Flash said as he followed the unicorn out the door. The two walked down the hallway till the trail ended at the incinerator room. When they got there Shining Armor and Pinkie Pie were already there. “What are you two doing here?”
Shining turned to the orange pony. “ Oh! Hi Sentry.Me and Pinkie Pie were just investigating. The incinerator was left on overnight. You know we really should assign a janitor. What are you two doing here”
“We followed a trail from the crime scene here.” Flash responded. “The killer must have came here to get rid of evidence.”
“That is the most likely conclusion ” Shining Armor said.
“Look, look I found a thing.” Pinkie Pie said excitedly. The object she held in her hooves was charred black and was shaped like a diamond. “ It was the only thing left in the incinerator when I turned it off”
“How do you know that's important?” Twilight asked.
“I just have a sixth sense for these type of things.” Pinkie responded
New Ammo
Strange object: Pinkie found it in the incinerator
“Did you find anything else?” Flash asked.
“No .Sorry” Shining answered. The group continued to search the room but didn’t find any new clues. “You know its getting close to the trial. Why don’t we take a brake.”
“That sounds like a good idea. "Flash said as he wiped the sweat off his brow
After his search, Flash went to the vending machines in the hallway. He put the bits into the machine and pressed the button. A secant later a can of orange juice fell from the bottom. the young Pegasus took the can and sat down on the floor next to the machines. As he opened the can he was interrupted by a voice.
“Hey there Flash. What's up” The colt looked up to find that it was Rainbow Dash.
“Oh hi Rainbow Dash” Flash responded as the mare put her bits into the machine and picked out her drink. “I'm just thinking.”
“Let me guess. it about the trial” Dash said as she opened her can of fizzy apple cider.
“I'm just worried about what will happen if we get it wrong. What if we don’t have enough evidence.”
“Calm down.” the flyer said as she sat next to Flash. “ I get that you're nothing special but you gotta have some confidence in yourself. Trust me a little confidence can go a long way.”
“You’re really shoe we're going to find the killer?”
“Nope.” the blue mare said as she stood up.“ But if I didn’t have confidence in myself I wouldn't be called the Superpony-level all star.” She then chugged down her drink.
“Well guess that makes sense.” Flash said after taking a sip of his. drink
“Of course it makes sense. that the same thing my dad told me before my first race.”
“was that the same race you did the Sonic rainboom?’
“Eeyup.” she said before she let out a large burp. “And that was when I found my love for racing.”
"Thanks Rainbow Dash." all of a sudden the announcements came on again
Attention students. The class trial will be starting in 5 minutes. Please make your way over to the elevator.
After the announcement all the students assembled into an elevator in the main hall. Everyone kept looking at one another as the elevator continued to go down.It was silent until a loud ding signaled that they arived at the bottom floor.
Calm down Flash. Everything going to be fine. The colt thought to himself as he left the elevator along with the others. They all entered a circular room covered in red curtains. in the center were 15 stands that you'd see in a courtroom and on the walls opposite of the elevator was a throne. sting in it was Discord still in his kimono.
“Glad to see you all made it. Let the trial begin!” Discord said. soon everyone took their places at each stand.
TR-I-A-L
ALL RISE
Discord-alright lets get things started. In this trial your votes will decide who the killer is. get it right and they will get there well deserved punishment. But if you get it wrong then the killer will go free and everyone else will be punished. Now then, any questions.
Flash Sentry- Are you sure it was one of us?
Discord- As sure as Celestie’s love of cake.
Spike- IF SOMEONE HERE DID KILL RARITY THEN THEY BETTER FESUP NOW!
Shining Armor- Calm down Spike. Outbursts like that won’t help us find her killer.
Twilight Sparkle- I have a question. Do you mind telling us the meaning of that?
As Twilight said that she pointed her head at a propped up picture frame of Rarity with a big pink X threw it.
Discord- Just because someone's dead doesn't mean they can't join in the fun. Now if there aren't any more questions lets get this show on the road with the case summary.
Trixie-alright then. well we all know that it was Rarity who was killed
Fluttershy- the murder took place in her bedroom.
Rainbow Dash- and from what we saw when we found the body was that the killer broke the door down and attacked her while everyone else was asleep.
NO THATS WRONG
Flash Sentry- Rainbow Dash, you weren't there when we were investigating but it was Twilight who broke the door down.
Blueblood-So we can only assume that she was the one that committed the crime.
Flash Sentry-No we can’t. don't you remember that Spike was there when she did it.
Spike-That's true and it was pretty cool to see her use her magic to do it
Applejack- That must mean that the killer must have locked the door after they killed her.
Derpy-But how could they have locked the door from the outside?
Seabreeze-Isn’t it obvious. The killer used her key to do it.
Big Mac- So where's the key
Flash Sentry- The murderer must still have it.
Bulk Biceps- Alright then! what next
Rainbow Dash- I think the next thing we should take about is the murder weapon. That's how these thing go right?
Twilight Sparkle- Right
Pinkie Pie- Wow! we're really starting to sound like real detectives.
Shining Armor- From what we could tell someone definitely slit Rarity's throat.
Seabreeze-So it was something sharp
Applejack- you mean like a kitchen knife
Bulk Biceps- Yeah I think a kitchen knife is a safe bet.
NO THATS WRONG
Flash Sentry-It wasn't a knife, the only thing at the scene of the crime that was sharp was the gilded sword.
Rainbow Dash- you know, I think I saw the sword thats was in the trophy in the main hall was missing this morning.
Blueblood- so we all know she was killed by that cheap sword. that still doesn't get us any closer to ending this nightmare.
Spike- He’s right. we’re still know nothing about the killer. its hopeless
Twilight Sparkle- No. there's still evidence we can use to find the killer. If we keep at it I’m sure we’ll find something.
Pinkie Pie- You're talking about the sewing kit.
Twilight Sparkle-Not specifically.
Pinkie Pie- Yeah the sewing kit that’s in every girls room that you guys found on Rarity’s floor.
Trixie- the pink one brings up a good point. Why would something like that be left out like that.
Derpy- Maybe the killer needed it for something.
Seabreeze- you dits. why would a killer need a sewing kit.
Flash Sentry-Discord gave us the sewing kits and the tool sets to kill each other with.
Shining Armorr- but we already established that it was the sword was the murder weapon.
Fluttershy- maybe *they* needed to sew their clothes or something.
Blueblood-I’m sorry but how is the fact that the killer needed to fix their clothes help us
Flash Sentry-it means that when the killer attacked Rarity she ripped there clothing.
Applejack - so one of us has some part of owe cloths with stitching on it.
Flash Sentry- I guess so
Pinkie Pie- and what about that note
Spike- Pinkie Pie why does it sound like you're leading the trial?
Pinkie Pie-someone has to keep this thing going
Flash Sentry- No she’s right. The killer sent Rarity a note to keep her door unlocked.
Blueblood- But the killer ripped the part of the note with their name on it.
Twilight Sparkle-Not completely. As you can see there are still something odd about the part that was ripped off
Flash Sentry- The triangles that on the line the paper was ripped. Coude that somehow lead us to the culprit.
Rainbow Dash- looks like someone drew something.
Derpy- you know it sorta looks like part of a star
Twilight Sparkle- your right it does look like a star.
Big Mac- you know it could be someone’s cutie mark.
Trixie- and there are two unicorns in this room who has stares cutie marks. Twilight and Blueblood
Blueblood- Then it must have been Twilight.. as a royal a can't stain my hoof with blood
NO THATS WRONG
Flash Sentry- I know for a fact that not only is Twilight is innocent but that it was you who killed Rarity
Blueblood- and how do we know that you're not lying to protect her. you two could be actinoplanes working together to get out of hear.
Seabreeze- could there even be aconplesnes
Discor- Yes but only the one who actually committed the murder would go free. plus can guarantee you this was a solo job
Blueblood- so wheres your proof to support your claim.
Flash Sentry- just look at the note. Twilight’s cutie mark doesn't line up with the drawing.But yours does.
Twilight Sparkle- in addition there's one piece of evidence staring us right in the face.
Blueblood-and what would that be.
Twilight Sparkle- Tell me Blueblood, as a royle do you typically wear a shirt where one of the buttons sewn on with a different color thread.
Fluttershy- You know now that I look at it his top button douse look at it, it does look more pink then white.
Twilight Sparkle- that's because Rarity must have ripped one of the buttons off in the fight.
Flash Sentry- And if he used the sewing kit to fix it he’d only have three colors to use. Red, dark green, and light pink
Applejack- But didn't we say that killer would have Rarity’s room key
Blueblood- Th-That’s right, and I don't have the key anywhere in my possession. Go ahead search my room
Pinkie Pie- Well du. of course you don’t have the key,he got rid of it.
Spike-What are you talking about Pinkie Pie?
Pinkie Pie- do I have to spell it out to all of you. He threw the key into the incinerator. The black thing I found was Rarity's keychain.
Shining Armor- That would certainly explain why the incinerator was left on overnight.
Blueblood-NO NO. IF YOU COMINERS THINK THAT I DID IT YOU'RE ALL AS FOOLISH AS EVER!
Twilight Sparkle- You still deny it. Thats a real shame.
Blueblood-THATS BECAUSE I DIDN’T!
Twilight Sparkle- Flash do you mind explaining what happened so we can end this?
Blueblood-WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY “END THIS”!
Flash Sentry-I think I Can. OK here's what happened...
Clowning Argument
Some time after “The Night Time” started. Blueblood slid the note under Rarity’s door. The note said that he’ll be there by 3:30 and to keep her Door unlocked. When the time came Blueblood had arrived. What Rarity didn't expect however was that Blueblood was armed with the gilded sword.
Blueblood attacker her but Rarity didn’t go down that easily. As they foute Rarity ripped off one of the buttons from his shirt. Eventually Blueblood used his magic to tie the rope I found to restrain her and use the sword from the main hall trophy case to slit her throat.
After the fight he used the sewing kit in her room to fix his shirt he ripped his name off the note and took Rarity’s key to lock the door from the outside.
And to make sure he destroyed all the evidence linking him to the crime he threw the key into the incinerator.
Flash Sentry- Am I right?
Blueblood- HA HA HA HA. ALRIGHT FINE. I’LL ADMIT IT. I WAS THE ONE WHO KILLED THAT WHORE!"
Derpy-But why?
Blueblood- WHY? I’LL TELL YOU WHY! When I was a colt, the only pony who ever made me feel like i mattered was my aunty Celectie. We were very close. That is until that cominer started to show up. All of a sudden she began to gain favor from my ant. I COULDN'T STAND IT. So when the opportunity presented itself I took it. the fact that I was getting out of this hell hole was just a bonus.
Discord- Well it looks the virectin is quite obvious then. Now I think its time to vote on who the guilty party is. in front of of you all are switches which you’ll be using to vote
With the snap of his clawed fingers a slot machine appeared. it soon started to spin with all the students faces on the wheels. after a moment all three stopped on Blueblood’s face. after it stopped confetti and streamers fell from the the ceiling.
Discord- Congratulations you all got it right and as I promised the one who was found guilty will be punished immediately.
With another snap of his claws a chain and caler jetted out of one of the curtains and clasped around Blueblood’s neck. He was then pulled away
Game Over
Prince Blueblood has been found guilty
Time for the punishment
On a stage set, a group of what appeared to be puppet ponies dressed in old Equestrian clothing holding pitchforks and torches were caring Blueblood who was tied up with ropes. The puppets carried him on to a platform before he was thrown on to a wooden table. A wooden stock was then placed on to his neck. For fear of what was about what was about to happen the prince looked up to find a large ax blade suspended by a very thin thread with Discord laying on it. He also saw that all the other student were standing behind a chain link fence
The King’s Death
Discord then pulled out a small pair of scissors and placed the thread in between the two scissor blades. With a smug look on his face Discord cut the thread. at that moment the blade fell. As it fell it started to spin. The Prince shuke in fear as the blade got clowser. Soon the blade hit the ground effectively cutting off his head.
The other students could only watch in horror as their classmate was gruesomely decapitated.
I can't believe it. Flash thought to himself. What I just watched...What I just Watched was the true face of despair
