Celestia let out a sigh when her phone rang. She picked it up and held it to her ear.
"Hello?" She asked, before going wide-eyed and letting out a gasp.
She then quickly hung up, grabbed her jacket from the coat hangar and took off out the door.
Ponytropolis...
The alicorn drove up to the site of the explosion in her sleek, white car, before slamming on the brakes. Quickly getting out, she ran over to the burning car. A small explosion from the burning car made her stop and put a hand to her mouth.
"No!" She yelled, muffled by her hand as tears fell from her eyes.
On the other side of the burning car were a couple parked police cars. One of them was empty as its driver was most likely in the alley. Celestia quickly made her way around the car and into the alley, spotting Spitfire.
"Wh-What happened?" She asked, wiping her eyes.
The orange mare looked up from the corpse. "I figured you'd be involved..." she said, before looking at the alicorn. "This doesn't seem like a normal crime." She then pointed to the bloody text on the building.
Celestia walked over to her and looked at the words. "The apocalypse is near..." She then looked over at the burning car. "I... I sent them out... on patrol..."
The pegasus eyed her before walking passed her and out of the alley. "Alright, boys!" She called. "Move out!" She said before getting into her own car.
Celestia left the alley to see the cop cars driving off. After they left she spotted a familiar car speeding towards her.
Earlier, Hospital...
Twilight pulled the wet towel off the bed before setting the dry black mare down onto the bed.
"There," she cooed, setting the bathing items aside before putting the hospital gown back on the mare.
"Thanks, Twilight," Rogue said with a smile before Twilight's cell phone rang.
She smiled at the mare and quickly answered it. "Hello?" She asked. "Wait, what?! I'll be right down," she said before hanging up.
"Duty calls?" Asked Rogue with a light smile.
The purple mare nodded and leaned in, kissing her on the forehead. "Get better... If not, I'll visit you again..." She then pulled the covers back over the black mare before running out of the room.
"Thank you!" Rogue yelled.
After a couple seconds, Twilight stuck her head in the doorway. "You're welcome," she said quickly before taking off again.
Ponytropolis...
Twilight sped down the road as three cop cars passed her. "Almost there," she said, spotting Celestia standing near the alley. It wasn't long before she arrived and slammed on the brakes, quickly getting out. "Celestia! What happened? You really shouldn't be out in the open when--"
"I... I killed them..." was all the white alicorn said, cutting Twilight off.
Twilight looked at the burning car before looking back at Celestia. "Um... What? Who?"
"Citrus and Blitz..." Celestia said as tears ran down her face again. "I sent them... on patrol... I sent them to their death..."
"No, no," Twi said as she put a hand on the mare's shoulder. "No! You didn't do this! It was them!"
The alicorn sniffled and rubbed her eyes. "B-But, if I hadn't--"
"There's no way you could've known," the unicorn said, trying to calm down her leader. "Now, let's stop and think... How can we catch these assholes?"
Celestia sniffled some more and looked around. "The cameras..." she said. "Every street and intersection has them."
Twilight nodded and headed back towards her car. As she passed the burning wreckage she skidded to s top. "Wait..."
"What is wrong, Twilight?"
"Car bomb," she said, pointing to Citrus and Blitz's car. "We have to check ours first."
The alicorn quickly pulled out her cell phone and dialed, before putting it to her ear. "Yes. Tech? It's Celestia. Get over here with your bomb detection kit. Use the smoke to find us."
Twilight pulled out her own phone and dialed, holding it to her ear.
"Ponytropolis Police Department. How may I direct your call?" A female voice asked.
"Is Brass Star available?" Twi asked. "It's urgent."
"One moment..."
A moment later, another voice answered. "This is Brass Star."
"Hey, it's Twilight. I need a favor."
Elementals' Hotel...
Sunset Shimmer knocked on the door to Trixie and Lightning's room. After a moment, she received a response.
"Who is it?" Trixie called out, muffled by the door.
"It's Sunset."
There was a brief moment of silence before Lightning spoke up.
"Come in!" She called. "And quickly close the door!"
Shimmer tilted her head. "Alright..." she said, gripping the doorknob. She then quickly opened it, entered, and quickly shut it. "There," she said, turning to face the two mares. "I just..." she started, stopping when she saw both mares naked. Lightning was sitting on the couch with Trixie in her lap. It looked as though they had just been making out. "You two at it again?"
"We can't help it," Lightning cooed. "We're in love."
"And, Twilight made me so horny..." Trixie whined with a pout as she leaned in and began kissing Lightning's neck.
"Look, girls, I..." Shimmer said, as she walked over and sat beside them on the couch, leaning her head back and staring up at the ceiling. "I wanted to apologize... for how I treated you when you were in my gang... I raped you for all to see as your punishment for failure... I was never kind to you... But, now that we're all back together again... I just... I feel really bad about it, and I-- What the fuck?" She asked, looking down as she saw Trixie with her face between her breasts. "I'm trying to apologize."
"I know..." the blue unicorn replied. "But, like I said... I'm horny right now..."
"Come on, I... I actually want a boyfriend..." Shimmer said as she watched Trixie reach her hands up and grip her mounds, making Shimmer gasp sharply.
"Then, let's have one final fling," Lightning cooed watching them.
Sunset eyed her and then looked down at Trixie. "Oh, fine... One last round."
Trixie smiled as she gripped the bottom of Sunset's shirt and pulled it off, throwing it aside before pulling her bra above her breasts and then sucking on the left nipple.
"So eager..." Dust said with a chuckle as she began to finger herself, watching her lover enjoy the body of their former boss.
Ponytropolis...
Tech pulled up beside Celestia's car as the green colt quickly hopped out with his laptop. "I'm here," he announced, heading around to the trunk of his car and setting his laptop on it. He then eyed the burning car. "Oh, god..." he said, before shaking it away and opening his laptop. "Let's see..." he said as Twilight and Celestia headed over to meet him, the unicorn still with her phone to her ear.
"What do you plan on doing?" The alicorn asked.
"Well, I can hack into the police database and get access to every cam in the city," the colt explained.
"Do it," Celestia said, leaning in.
"Wait," Twilight said, speaking up as she held up a finger. "He's here," she said into her phone. "The access code, please?" She asked as Tech smirked and pulled up the police database. Instead of hacking into it, he waited for the password. The unicorn then nodded. "490283641."
"490283641..." Tech repeated as he entered it in and then hit Enter. "Got it. We're in," he said, pulling up the street cameras.
"Thank you, Brass," Twi said with a smile.
"Just keep our city safe..." the mare replied, sounding nervous about this whole "apocalypse" situation.
"Not a problem, ma'am," Twi said before her and Brass both hung up.
Tech kept clicking on camera feeds until he found the camera on their current street. "Found it," he said, before rewinding a bit.
Celestia had to look away as they saw the car de-explode and Blitz and Citrus back out of the car and into the alley. Twilight eyed her with a sad look before looking back at the feed. A few seconds before the two backed into the alley, a sleek red and black car backed up into a parking space near Blitz and Citrus' car.
"Is that..." Twilight began to ask as a colt wearing a black trench coat, black pants, red shirt, a red bandanna over his mouth and nose, and black boots and gloves backed out of the car. He also had on a black, large-rimmed that that looked similar to Dirge's. "Dirge?"
"No... We buried him," Celestia said as she kept looking, an angry look on her face as she saw the mystery colt approached Citrus and Blitz's car and then reach under the front of it. He then pulled out a black, circular device and then back up back to his car.
Tech then pressed play as the watched the footage in real time, seeing the colt place a device underneath the car and then leave as quickly and quietly as he came.
"This motherfucker killed them..." Celestia growled.
Twilight eyed her and gently took her hand. She then looked at Tech. "So?" She asked, wanting to know about what to expect.
"Well, it's clearly a car bomb... And no one else arrived afterwards so your cars are safe..." Tech explained.
The unicorn nodded. "Thanks... And, you should now have permanent access to the Police database. Just don't abuse the privilege."
Tech smirked and closed his laptop. "Don't they change it daily?" He asked, seemingly knowledgeable with how the police operate.
Twi chuckled. "It's your own personal access code so they know when we're in the system."
"I see..." the colt said as he picked up his laptop. "So... 490283641?" He recited quickly.
The mare smiled. "490283641, yes."
"Well, come on," said the alicorn as she began walking away.
Twilight watched her start to walk away when she saw a red dot on the mare's head. Letting out a gasp, she quickly pulled the alicorn towards her, before they all heard the sound of machine gun firing. The window on Tech's car shattered as holes began being blown in it. When Twilight caught the alicorn, she quickly pulled her around to the other side of the vehicle.
"Damn," Celestia growled as she gently pulled free from Twilight and sat up against the car with the unicorn and colt. She then quickly pulled out her cell phone and dialed her sister. "Luna!" She yelled, not giving the blue mare a chance to finish her greeting. "We are pinned down and need help now!" She yelled as bullets shot over the top of the car.
