Chapter 12: 12) The man responsible

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Roden pulled up to the sidewalk near the building that Sapphire called her home. Looking out if the car window he examined the house top to bottom. It looked to be bigger than an average house with its brick walls painted slight blue and the roof tiles being dark blue.

"Someone likes blue..."

"I don't think we have the right to criticise, everything we own is black or green."

"Not true! The art stuff, the games, the microwave and the bathroom aren't black and green."

"Ok most of the stuff we own is black and green."

"Thanks for the ride home Roden. I'll see you on Monday after I've gotten everything packed up." Sapphire thanked as she got out of the green hummer.

Roden just nodded and pulled up his scarf a little more out of fear of it slipping down. Once Sapphire walked into her house Roden pulled out and drove down the street while letting his mind wander. Having nothing to do for the remainder of the day he began to think of something he could do to pass the time other than drawing, playing videogames or napping. It's safe to say he was having trouble coming up with anything that didn't involve any of those categories.

"What do you two think I should do?" He asked the voices in his head as he focused on driving instead of day dreaming.

"Oh! How about going to see a movie? Remember the Ratchet and Clank movie is out?"

"Maybe we could just go to Starbucks and get a latte, sit and relax for awhile before going out to the park or something?"

Roden tossed both of the ideas around in his head before nodding. "Alright, we'll go to Starbucks now to get a coffee or something. Then we go see Ratchet and Clank, afterwards we get some fresh air in the park before heading home to get a bit of exercise done?"

"That seems like a pretty solid plan."

"Yeah, and God knows you need that exercise, you're practically paper thin!"

Roden just deadpanned and groaned. "For the last time Zerlinda, I'm not that thin, I've still got a decent amount of muscle mass."

"Nope, you've got stick arms bro."

Roden just groaned and blocked the voices out.


Meanwhile

Octavia smiled as she set her cello after finishing her daily practice, Mise and Vinyl sitting in the corner having listened the entire way through. "That was great Tavi, you're getting better and better each time you pick up that thing." Mise praised before taking a swing of his flask.

"When are you gonna let Treble and me remix your songs? It's been years and I'm still waiting on an answer." Vinyl said with a happy tone although there was a hint of annoyance in her voice as she readjusted her glasses.

Octavia turned to her friend with a smirk. "When you start playing an actual piano instead of your laptops keyboard then I will let you remix my songs."

Vinyl just groaned and placed her headphones on to distract herself from the disappointment.

Mise just chuckled and placed his flask back in his chest pocket. "Well, I'm in the mood for some coffee. What's say we all head down to Starbucks and get something?"

Octavia nodded and smiled at the idea. "It would be nice to get out of the house for awhile. Come along Vinyl, we'll invite Treble and get you both cookies."

"Cookies?" And like that Vinyl was straight to Octavias side.

"Alright, let's go, we'll take my tank!" Mise exclaimed as he rushed out of the house. Oh yes and for the readers that don't know, Mise has a tank, so...that's a thing.


Meanwhile at the Canterlot Security Prison. Yep, getting into plot territory now

Before rushing off to get an overpriced coffee, Roden had one place he wanted to visit beforehand. He walked through the halls of the huge prison with two security guards at his side. He could hear the yelling of the inmates from afar, but blocked it out as he focused on the door at the end of the hall that would lead him to a room where he would talk with a very specific inmate.

As he took his seat on one side of the table divided by a wall of glass he waited for the prison staff to bring in the one he wished to see. Soon enough, a tall man of medium build with peach skin and short black hair wearing normal orange prision clothing walked in on the opposite side of the glass and sat down, staring Roden right in the eyes. "Well well well, look who it is. The one I couldn't finish off." The man spoke in a surprisingly sane voice. "Still wearing that scarf to cover that little reminder I gave you?"

Rodens left cheek began to burn, but not wanting to falter under this criminals gaze he remained still. "Falcon Sight, how horrible to see you again. I'm surprised you haven't tried to get out of this place after all these years."

"Hah! Like I'd be able to get out of this place with all these guns pointed at me. Nah, I'd much rather stay here and deny you the sweet satisfaction of my death." Falcon teased as he rubbed his thumb and index finger together. "So, what do you want? Closure? An explanation perhaps?"

"No, none of those things, I've come here for something else." Roden answered as he clenched his hands into fists. "This is about your son. Rider Sight, I know that you've been tricking him, manipulating him, trying to get him to continue your work."

"Oh yes, my little Rider, the boy really takes after his father. I hope that one day he'll be able to finish what I started with your family!"

*CRACK!!!*

Falcon jumped as Roden punched the glass with all of his strength, causing it to crack. "I'm only going to say this once. If you so much as talk to your son to try to turn him against me it will be the last thing you ever do. Your plan won't work, you're wrong, Rider is nothing like you, he's just been manipulated to believe that he is you. I'm going to fix that, I can promise you on that. So sit comfy, so that I can deny YOU closure. I have the drive to kill you right here and now for what you did...but that wouldn't solve anything. Goodbye."

As Roden got up to leave he stopped as he heard Falcon speak. "Keep trying to find something to dream about. It will make things much more enjoyable to destroy a person with precious dreams."

Roden took in a deep breath before walking out of the room, two guards dragging Falcon back to solitary confinement.

Author's Notes:

Yeah, the main storyline is starting to take effect. There's no life threatening fights or whatever, just an upcoming villain that will make things difficult for Roden on a personal level.
