"You what!" Magnificent yelled when she entered my cell from the courtyard. Val and me were talking about how many available Slashers and Sisters we have. She also told me that Night Gale was wanting to see me in the cafeteria old cell. Apparently some of the my mares have been causing issues for that Sisterhood bunch. " Silver! You have killed a member of the Servants, you can't just casually walk back here without bating an eye!"

"Val, please give me a second," I smiled.

"Sure, I'll let Sky Breaker know what's going on," Val trotted out and gave Magnificent a look.

"Maggy, darling, please calm down. I have this under control. Besides, its been two weeks. If they cared about that filthy shit they would have done something about it. Didn't you even hear how it all went down? I'm sure they did, and I'm especially sure they aren't thinking of act too hastily." I stepped down from my bed and stopped in front of the multi colored mare." They'll send me an invitation, then I'll see if their worth keeping alive. Once I determine if these Servants are as dumb as their name is, then we'll deal with them..."

"S-silver..." Magnificent stammered.

"Shhh, now go, I have to prepare. I'm meeting what's left of Malories mares. So please, calm yourself." Magnificent's expression didn't lighten, she just slowly walked away with her head down. I shrugged it off, I beckoned Swipe. She quickly appeared in front of me. "I need you, Slashers and a few Sisters, we have a meeting in the cafeteria."

"Right away Silver Streak," She quickly trotted off. I made my way to meet with Night Gale.

Night Gale was smoking, she put the bud out on the table. She looked up and grimaced. I saw the sisterhood with her. They all looked at me as if killing me was all they had thought about doing. I was half expecting to see some Sinister Sisters with them, but apparently the conflict between the two groups is exactly what we're discussing. I sat down in front of Night Gale, Swipe was on my left and Pin Needles was on my right, assuming the role of temporary chief given the sudden death of Crooked Nails." I'm here..." I said with a smirk," What's the matter?"

"Where's Upity?" a small white mare asked with malice in her voice," I know you have her!"

"You don't own her anymore, besides you took too long to get your stray back. Shes mine, deal with it..." I glared at the tiny mare.

"Clean Slate, quit it." Night Gale commanded

"But-"

"Shut it!" Night Gale's horn glowed and the mares mouth vanished." Anyway, Silver Streak, we have had some issues with the Sinister Sisters. We excommunicated them basically. This didn't cause a problem till Crooked Nails got involved. Red Star killed her, but it was an accident."

"Y-yeah...sorry about that heh" She twiddled her hooves.

"We want blood, not apologies!" Pin Needled yelled.

"Yeah, life for a life!" A mare with purple highlights screamed.

Night Gale sighed," If we do this it'll cause to many issues. You have to make them understand Silver. If we do this, it'll be back and forth."

"They want a reasonable trade Night Gale...Red Star, give us her and then everything should be fine." The face painted mares glared at me. One yelled bullshit, Night Gale motioned her to quiet down." I don't care how they feel about it Night Gale, Red Star, or I'll kill this little bitch in front of me. I don't care witch it is, but some pony is going to die, now...."

"Night Gale come on, don't let her do this," Red Star pleaded," This is ridiculous."

"Alright, I'll do it," Night Gale said, looking in my eyes.

I smiled," No you wont, Swipe will."

Night Gale's eyebrows shot up when she noticed the pony sitting next to me wasn't there. A blade shot up from Red Stars lap. It entered the bottom of her jaw and out the top of her head. Swipe brought the blade down, Red Stars head slammed on the table as the blade pulled out. Swipe came from under the table and cleaned the blade. "Your welcome," Swipe said softly.

Clean Slate started to rip the skin off were her mouth should be. She started to scream and lunge forward. Swipe grabbed her and held her, the blade rested on the small mares neck. Slate breathed heavily, swallowing hard as the blade grazed her." I will not hesitate to kill her. This isn't about peace, this is about tolerance, simple as that, right?"

Night Gale relaxed and took a deep breath," Y-yeah, just...get the fuck away from us alright."

"I'm glad we could handle this in a civilized manner. If this happens again, I'll kill you all myself," I said jerking Slates head over to me. I laid her down in front of me." And if you really want me, just ask..." I got close to her lips, she gasped, she was stunned...I slammed her head into the table. She held her head and whimpered, tears were fighting to run down her face but she kept from crying. Stubborn..."Goodbye Night Gale.."

"Wait...," Night Gale called out

"We don't have to do this Night Gale...," A light blue buck suggested.

Two Sisterhood mares picked up Red Star and took her back to the cell block they were from, "No, we do...we want to. I would like to, back you up for whatever your doing in the future..."

"Why?" I asked, "I thought me and you were done."

"The Sisterhood is bitter about you but...Their boss isn't so angry. She' on the outside, but she asked if I'd be willing to be the bridge between them and you...I said yes..." Night Gale smiled," I'd hope to talk in private about it...

Slate was next to Night Gale again rubbing her head, "Bring that little headache of yours and we'll talk."

I got up from the table. The Sister Hood mares where staring the Sinisters down, but I didn't care. Their petty problems were not my concern. But if they would let it become an issue, a roadblock for me, then I'd handle it my way. Upon our return to the courtyard, a stallion with an axe was sitting at the picnic table. Big Sis and Bella were watching him as he sat, he didn't seem to notice or care for that matter.

"Hey, Silver, this guy wont leave." Big Sis pointed to him," Can I beat him up?"

I looked at him, at the mention of my name he looked over to me, "Ah, so your Silver huh? Thought you'd be taller than that. All these damn ponies every say about is how imposing you are. Or how big and strong and stuff, thought she was Silver for a second...Turns out the biggest part of her isn't her ego. So, I'm sure your the one I'm looking for..."

The stallion was blood red. His eyes were golden. He's long black mane confused me at first sight, but It was well kept for a stallion in prison. His axe was a little jagged on the edge. Something told me that was done on purpose." I hope you didn't come here to fight?"

"Oh no, no, no, more like invite you over for massages and blood. I'm guessing that's what your into yeah?" He chuckled," I'm one of those Savants, there's only three of us since you killed Desno in Black Label. We were impress how fast you did it. He isn't a push over. Although the things you did in there were...less than believable. Its hard to trust the word of any of his cronies. What I mean to say is, they all do drugs." The stallion paused for a second," Although, we would at least like you to come by and explain why you not only Killed Malorie, but Desno as well? We let that thing with Malorie go. We cut her off after that riot, but Desno was doing his job. So what gives Silver?"

I wasn't prepared to answer these questions. My mouth opened but nothing came out...Wow, why did I kill him again? Right, to gain control, that's what I needed. Thats how my plan will work. But I cant tell him that," They hurt my mares, they got in my way. It was the only way to end this power struggle,"

"Uh huh, well that seems like a fine reason and all, but if you had just stayed out of Malories way, we wouldn't be talkin right now." The stallion got closer, he grabbed his axe. Bella was ready, and so was Big Sis, but he didn't seem to pay attention to them." You are one complicated mare, I swear. Your solution to every problem is to kill it huh? No matter. Your moral alignment doesn't effect me or what's gonna happen next. Just follow me so we can talk with the rest..."

I motioned for Bella and Big Sis to stand down," And what if I don't?"

"Then I guess my very boring job here is done..." The stallion stared down at me with his gold eyes." Now ya coming or not?"

"Wait for me here you two," Bella and Big Sis reluctantly nodded.

The cell block was cleaner than the ones I'd seen so far. It made Black Lable look even worse compared to the shiny floors and clean cells. The stallion kept his distance from me, at least it seemed so. Every time I'd get close, I was pretty sure that he would make sure he'd get a little further away from me. Something against mares? There didn't seem to be any major gangs here, there was however one Sinister Sister I had never seen before. Her mane was all over the place. It had various highlights in diferent shades of purple and yellow. She had stockings instead of fishnets and a necklace with a key. She winked at me as she lied against the cell door smoking. She was the only pony out of place. "Who's that?"

"Huh, that bitch...Eh, that's Spoiled Rotten. She was part of this rich family. Didn't fit in with the scene here of course. She could never understand that we try not to look trashy. So she got kicked out, joined that Sister club, and bam, lesbian. But, her parents found out, got her placed here indefinitely, didn't want her in danger or something stupid. Look, I know you like mares and all, but keep it tucked away. She isn't worth it..." The stallion chuckled under his breath.

"Tucked away, very funny," I trotted beside him," Maybe she break your heart, is that why you don't like mares."

He glared at me," We're here."

The door was decorated in tacky gold trimmings that accented it. The knobs were glass, I thought how easy it'd be to break. He pushed the door open. On two pillows in front of me sat two ponies. A wide brown mare lay to my far left. Her coat was dotted with tan, white, and black spots. Her mane looked like a bee hive and her tail was short and curly. Her brown eyes followed my movements as I sat on the pillow in front of the taller mare. This unicorn mare was distinctly taller than any other pony I met save for the princesses. She had a long elegant neck, and an extremely slender frame. She was pink, and her mane was a pure white color. So was her tail. Her eyes were a deep black. Making her other features intensify her eyes even more. She had a large smile spread across her lips. The blood red stallion sat on a stool in much the same he did when we were in the court yard.

The pink mare cleared her throat," Introduce us," She said under her breath.

"Oh haha, yeah, yeah, Welp, ummm. This here is Ms. E, and no she is not married I case you were wondering. She use to have the twins before you did, but they were let got after some...things happened. Anyhow, she kept track of the cupons, the new inmates and the salon when we had one. Long story short, it was dreanched in blood. Oh and I'm Chad, Chad The Badass. Its not the name I would have chose but I earned it as most would tell you. Anyway, I trained most of the heavy waits, and Malorie, how to fight, even petitioned for macaroni to be the only food item. They're still processing that order...Oh yeah, the Sinister Sisters was another thing I was behind until they got, rotten...Had much better talent, ya know, until you killed them that is."

"Chad, please get on with it dear, before we die of old age." The pink unicorn said in an accent that sounded similar to Magnificents.

"Oh yeah, and This is Le'Flour. She is the head of the Savants. She basically ran this prison until Upper Management toughened up those years ago. Although she still had some control, until you killed Malorie, and of course Desno." Chad glared at me.

"Ah yes," Le'flour smiled," You have killed and shortened my reach. I had to reach out to Night Gale just to know what's happening outside this very cell. I would had offered her a better position but she was a looser no? You had killed her once already, and with all the advantages she's had, you have made more progress than any of us have done since we ourselves have gotten here." The unicorn mare giggled," What I'm trying to say is, I'm impressed. How could I not. But you have stepped on my hooves, wounded me so to speak. All I want to know Silver, is why would you do such a thing to such a cute mare such as me?"

"So this is it?" I asked smirking.

"Ex-excuse me?" Le'flour said surprised.

"You invite your worst enemy here and you expect them not to retaliate? I hope Red over there isn't your only protection..." I looked the unicorn dead in her eyes.

"Oh no she didn't, DIS-RE-SPECTFUL this thing here," Ms. everything said out loud.

"S-silver, this is merely me showing you hospitality. I-I don't understand what the problem could be in showing you we mean no harm," Le'flour smiled again," All I want to know is what you are trying to do, because from were I'm standing my dear, it appears you are trying to destroy everything I've worked for. I SIT on this comfortable pillow, EAT the finest things because I have worked for them. I lost friends, sacrificed them a well...Let me understand why'd you'd spit in my face..."

Le'flour's gaze started to mimic that of the princesses. Not a sternness, but a sad disappointed kind of look. I hadn't noticed before but her horn was glowing this whole time..." So you don't trust me huh..."

"Mmmmhh? Le'flour smiled." Silly mare, I can sense your anger grow as you talk, your aggression rather. I don't trust anyone..."

"Alright, I'll spill it," I said as I cleared my throat," I only did what I did so I could make room for a few plans I have in place."

"Plans? May I ask what they are Silver?' Le'Flour questioned with a strain of patience.

"Yeah, tell us about the plans," Chad griped his axe," I'm sure we wont have an issue..."

"A riot, it'll take place a few days from now...It'll allow me to reach the outside and continue what I started..." Le'Flour's smile faded slowly. Ms. E shook her head.

"A, a riot Silver? I can accept the losses o far, but a riot? Things are already pretty hectic here as it is. In fact, its gotten even crazier since you've arrived. But a riot is unacceptable. That will loose me control, debts unpaid if ponies escape. Even if everything were to get under control, the issue is what will those snooty princesses do when their most precious, and darkest secrete gets let loose onto the world. It'd only get even more difficult to live as comfortable as this. I cant have you interfering with that...And since I am certain that the warden is in your pocket, it'll be a success." Le'flour's horn was glowing brighter

"So you'd get In my way...?" I asked the slender unicorn.

Le'flour grimaced," On the contrary, you are in mine..." The room grew silent. The tensions was heavy. I could see her magic growing, as if widening its reach around the room. She stared at me with her cold black eyes. "I beseech you Silver, you'd be better of joining me instead of crossing me. Because I know ponies like you. You think you can handle all the physical pain your enemies can dish out. But your weakness darling, you wear it on your sleeve. I don't need to raise a hoof to a hair on that precious mane of yours, I'll just attack your heart, destroy everything YOU worked for. You could instead side with me, scrap this riot idea...and even find out what its like to have actually sex...Like I said Silver Streak...I know ponies like you...What do you say about that?"

I looked at the three ponies, they weren't afraid. Even if they knew what I could do. It wouldn't be a problem if they weren't willing to oppose on the riot. I've worked too hard for this to be it. This is not going to detour me..." I'll be going..."

Le'flour opened the doors for me, I walked through them. My heart felt like it was being strained, was I worried? As I made ,my way through the doors, Le'flour got me attention. "Oh and Silver, don't come back here again...I will kill you...," Le'flour smiled at me as I walked out...

...I will kill you...
