Vacation pt 3 (Un-Edited)

Shining pinched the bridge of his nose. He had decided to stay up late again and deal with the case. He and Solar were no closer than when they started. He pressed his head against the table as he looked all the notes. He wished Solar could stay longer, but he had to get back to Twilight. Not mentioning his nieces started school very soon and Solar wanted to get them ready for it. He sighed as he wished there was more time in the day. But he was speaking to deaf ears about that.

I should get some sleep. Maybe curled up next to Cadance wouldn't be half bad. Maybe I should go to the store and finally buy those condoms. I haven't had a nice night with her in ages, well in weeks. Shining sighed as he pulled the file in front of his face. One last look through before bed. I can't strain my brain and lack of sleep doesn't help. Shining opened the file again and looked it over.

So we know that they were each brothers. Their father died when they were each two and their mother raised them. She was strict as hell on them. They quickly become skilled unicorns and attended Celestia's School For Gifted Unicorns. They graduated and found jobs at the school. But that's where it ends. Nothing about what they do connects. Shining tossed the case onto the table. He sighed as he got up and stretched his legs. He then walked over to the door of his office, when something caught his eye. It was piece of paper on the floor.

He picked it up and read it. It read, 'Go to the school archives'. Shining looked for some sign of who wrote it. But the only pony could be the Lunar Guard, but they weren't to friendly to him. They hadn't accepted him as the captain of the guard yet. Though he was happy that Solar was able to deal with them. Well this is strange, but it could be a lead to something. I might as well take any lead I can get. Shining exited his office and headed towards the school.

***

Shining walked into the school and used his horn to light his way. Since he was the captain of the guard, he had a key to the school. It was for an emergency of somepony going crazy and attacking the school. But Shining didn't feel right in the school. He held his sword's hand tight. School at night sure can give a stallion the creeps. Shining soon found himself in front of the archive room. He took out his keys and opened the door. He entered the room and closed the door behind him. Time to see where this clue leads me.

Shining started to search every inch of the archive. He soon found what he was looking for. The research of the brothers. Shining looked around to make sure no pony was around and opened the file. Something told him not to do it, but he had to know. He looked over the file, but nothing was jumping out till he reached the ending part.

What the, they were researching liquid medical spells. If my memory serves me, any liquid spell is illegal. A liquid spell can contain multiple spells all put together. What would the New Blood want with that? I wonder if that explains why they were killed. It seems they were getting grants from the school for research on medical magic, but in reality they were using it for liquid medical magic. The school cut them off, three days before they were killed. This has to be it, the New Blood couldn't risk the guards finding out the truth, I need to get this to Solar. Shining then heard something moving and turned to see nothing. He placed his thumb on his sword's handle. He slipped the file back into place and slowly turned around. He slowly made his way towards the door. Nothing happened to him.

Damn, this case has gotten me crazy. Shining exited the room and started to walk down the hall. He then heard a sound. He started to unsheathe his sword, but felt a cold liquid touch his neck.

"I wouldn't if I were you." Said a voice

"Let me guess, your a New Blood assassin. You came here looking for the same thing I was." Said Shining

"You're a smart and dumb guard. You see, I slipped you that note. I was unable to find the last bit of info I was looking for, but a guard of Canterlot would be able to. So like a fly following the spiders trap, I caught you in my web. I thank you for locating that last file. But since you saw the truth, I can't let you escape." Said the voice

"Let me guess, that blade is a katana made of blood. If I'm right that makes you Silent Killer, the pony that attack my brother in-law." Said Shining

"Well I guess you are smart after all. Not smart enough to see this trap." Said Killer

"Well even at that, I'm not an easy pony to kill." Said Shining

He quickly teleport to the other side of the the hall. He drew his sword and readied himself. Then he watched as a red orb was flung to sky, it then hung above them. Then Killer came out of the shadows he was hiding in. Shining felt a shiver down his spine to see the hornless unicorn. Damn, so this is the pony that attacked Solar. Looks just like the description I was given. Damn, I never thought I would feel so scared to see him. I need to be careful. Those weapons maybe made of blood, but I tell they can still kill. I need to finish this fight quick. I know I have never killed, but I guess I have to start with somepony and he looks like the right candidate.

"What's wrong Shining Armor, are you scared of me." Said Killer

"More freaked out then scared. How could a unicorn even think of removing their own horn?" Said Shining

"It did hurt, but it was worth it to move forward. Now I can't let you leave this school alive. You know to much. Prepare to join my blood and become my weapon to use." Said Killer

"As if, you'll be the one on the ground dead." Said Shining

"Think that, it will make this fight so much better." Said Killer

They stood looking each other. The red orb giving off a red sickly color to area around them. Shining looked at his enemy and Killer looked at his prey. Then came the hard pounding sound of rain. Then a flash of lightning and booming thunder. Well that's a convenient storm.

"Enough waiting, I will spill your blood and drink from the fountain that springs from your body." Said Killer

"You'll see who is springing fountains." Said Shining

The two rushed each other as another flash of lightning came down.

***

Cadance rose in her bed and looked out at the storm. She knew something was wrong, very wrong. She quickly got out of bed and headed down to Shining's office, but he was gone. She asked a few of the Lunar Guards, but they only told her that Shining left fifteen minutes ago. Cadance watched and heard as another flash of lightning came down with a boom of thunder. She held her hand to her heart as she looked towards a window. She knew Shining was in trouble. Shining where are you?

***

Shining and Killer clashed swords as the red sickly light lit their fight. Shining couldn't believe how strong Killer was. Damn, this is bad. Solar wasn't kidding about his strength. I've trained against some of the strongest guards around, but this guy is more than anything I have ever faced.

"What's wrong Shining Armor, you can't get a hit on me? I guess you won't be finishing this match so early." Said Killer with a dark smile on his face.

"I'm going to wipe that grin off your face." Said Shining

Shining rush with his sword ready and Killer did the same. Shining quickly raised a defense and blasted it back at Killer, throwing him off. Shining then saw his moment and struck Killer hard in the chest. Shining smiled as his blood now tipped his blade. Shining slide to a stop and looked at Killer as he stumbled. Killer then turned around and ran his hand across his wound. He looked at the blood on his hand. Shining raised his eyebrow at him, but watched as he licked the blood off of his hand.

"The taste of freshly spilled blood always gets me so happy. You were lucky with that attack, but you won't be with any other attack. So I think it is time I spill your blood and have a taste of it, for myself." Said Killer

Killer ran at top speed at Shining. Shining barely had time to get his sword up to block his attacks. Their swords clashed against each other. Shining wasn't able to keep bringing his sword up to defend him. killer was striking him with powerful attacks that deflected his sword back. Well this is perfect. I can barely keep a defense up with this guy. Shining quickly teleported behind him and gave another cut to his back. Killer stumbled forward.

"Solar wasn't able to get hits on me in our fight and here I'm letting you carve me up like a nice fresh piece of fruit. I think it's time I take off the gloves and show you my truth strength. I'm not the numbered one assassin for nothing." Said Killer

He came even faster at Shining. Shining couldn't see Killer's attack as Killer disappeared. Soon Shining felt pain through his body, scratches come across his body. He then a sharp sting go through his back. He's quick, but a shield blast should take care of him. Shining charged his horn and released it. Killer was blasted back and stumbled around. I've got one shot at this. I have to separate his arm from his body. Without it, at least one of his weapons will be destroyed. Shining charged his horn and placed the spell on his sword. He then ran while Killer was still dazed. Before Killer could do a thing, he left Shining's steel sword slice through his arm. Shining appeared on the other side as Killer's arm feel to floor with a pool of blood forming under the stump and severed arm.

"Now I think you see what I can do." Said Shining

Killer was silent till Shining heard him laughing. It was a slow laughter before it started to became a much darker laughter. Then Killer tossed his head to sky as a flash of lightning went by with a massive boom of thunder.

"You think that by cutting off my arm, you have wounded me." Said Killer with an even darker smile

"Without it, you can only use one of your blood katanas. I've got the upper hand." Said Shining pointing his sword at him.

"Shining Armor what a fool you are. I wasn't going to show you my full power, because I kind of enjoyed playing with you. But cutting off my arm is on a whole another level. Now I think it time the spider in my is released. Prepare to meet your worst nightmare." Said Killer

"What?" Asked Shining

Shining watched in horror has spider legs started to come out of Killer's stump. He watched as they went down and entered his served arm. They slowly then brought it back up to him. Shining took a step back as his body shook. The arm was then put back in place before being reattached to him. Shining wanted to vomit as he watched the arm twitch till Killer had control of it again. Then Shining watched in even more horror as Killer's wounds started to come together and disappear. Then Killer started to shack as something was happening to his body. Soon to massive spider like legs came out of his back. Then his chest opened up and spider legs came out of it and then folded together. Shining never liked to curse, but this time he felt it was right.

"What the fuck are you?" Asked Shining

"Silent Killer is my name, but to the New Blood I am the Spider's King. So little fly, you entered the spider's web, are you ready to deal with the king of this web." Said Killer as spider legs came out of his mouth and hooked to the side of his face.

"May Celestia have mercy on me." Murmured Shining

***

Cadance looked to see Solar next to her. The rain wasn't calming down and the storm just kept raging on. Solar had been woken by Cadance, as she was worried for Shining. As he was nowhere in the castle. Solar ordered the Lunar Guards to search out in Canterlot for him. Solar now stood with Cadance in her room looking out at Canterlot. He placed a hand on her shoulder.

"It will be alright, Cadance." Said Solar

"I sure hope so, I know something bad is happening to him." Said Cadance

Soon the door was bust open and wet bat guard came in. He bowed to the princess and prince. He then spoke as he rose.

"We have spotted Shining Armor. He is in Princess Celestia's school. But we also have some freighting news. He seems to be facing some kind of spider like creature." Said the guard

"Spider like creature." Said Solar

"Yes sir and it doesn't look good for the captain." Said the guard

"Alright, Cadance you stay here. I'm going out to save Shining Armor. No matter what, don't leave this castle. I have a bad feeling about that this spider like creature thing. Alright guard, lead the way." Said Solar

"Yes my prince." Said the guard

Solar and the guard left the room leaving Cadance alone in the room. She looked at the window as the rain came down harder and harder. She could know hear the wind howling like crazy. She knew this weather had something to do with this spider like creature, but to make a storm this strong would take a lot of magical strength. She decided to make sure her nieces were ok. She ran down the halls to their room meeting Celestia and Luna already holding both. Luna thought it was safer in the basement of the castle. She had already ordered the guards to take shelter or stay with Solar. Now Cadance felt a shiver fear run down her spine as she followed her aunts. Shining stay safe, Solar is one his way. But even more, what in the name of Equestria have we disturbed?

***

Shining ran through the halls of the school. Shit, shit, fucking shit! Shining was no match for Killer now. He had to get away, but outside was no option. He was trapped in the spider web of the school. Shit, he as right, I was a fly that got caught in his web.Who would have thought he was literal about the spider stuff.

"Why are you running Shining? I thought you could take me down." Said Killer walking the halls

This isn't good, I need backup if I'm going to take down this guy. Shining stopped as spider legs burst from the floor before him. He quickly teleported away as they came down. Shining then turned to see Killer walk back up to him. I still have one trick up my sleeve. I think if I get enough of his body separated, I can beat him. Shining charged his horn and placed the spell on his sword again. But he knew the spell would drain him after he used it. So this was his last chance.

"That spell again Shining, I would saw your a young dog with no new tricks." Said Killer with a laugh

"I would say you are very wrong about that. This young dog still has some tricks up his sleeve. Get ready to see one of them." Said Shining

Shining released the spell and struck Killer all over. Easily splitting him apart. Shining smiled but it quickly disappeared as more spider legs came out and started to connect all the served body parts. Soon his wounds started to heal. Shining couldn't take it. He took the last of his strength, on one final chop. He was going to cut Killer's head off. He easily landed the blow as Killer was occupied with healing his body. The head landed on the ground and the body kept up. Shining huff and puffed, but raised his eyebrow as nothing was happening, then felt the color in his body just disappear.

Killer's head began to get up as the spider legs from his mouth began to make it get up. Shining just shivered as he backed up. He dropped his sword and watched as the head began to get back on the neck. Spider legs came out of the head and went into the neck before the head was reconnected with the body. Soon Killer was back and looking at Shining with an evil grin.

"Now I think you have seen that I'm literally immortal. Now I think it is time I deal with you once and for all." Said Killer

Shining just stood there motionless. He couldn't believe his eyes. Nothing can kill him. Nothing I do can even harm him. How do you even kill somepony who can repair themselves? Shining was pulled from his thoughts when he felt a stabbing pain in his shoulder. He looked down to see one of Killer's spider legs in his shoulder. He groaned as he felt a hard strike to his gut. It easily cracked a rib of two and made him cough up blood. He then was lifted into the air and brought down hard on the front part of his body. Killer laughed till he heard hooves pounding on the floor and a pair of shoes. Damn, so they found me. Well time to make my exit. Killer removed his leg and recreated his normal body once again as the group came up. They stopped when they saw Killer.

"Killer!" Said Solar

"So it seems me meet again Solar. That's our second meeting, which means there is only one left before I finally kill you. See you till then." Said Killer as he vanished

Solar growled, but watched as the storm started to lighten up. Could that storm really have been caused by Killer. Solar was pulled from his thoughts as a guard got his attention.

"Prince Solar, Shining Armor needs a hospital."

"I agree, take him to the nearest one. I will make sure no other ponies are here that shouldn't be." Said Solar

The guards nodded and took Shining away. Solar looked back out the window and tightened his fist. So two down and only one meeting left. Though seeing Shining defeated like that, it makes me think, what power does Killer have hidden? Shining is the best combat fighter next to me and to be defeated by Killer is something else. I got a bad feeling of what is coming. Solar looked around and began to search the school for any clues. As he did, Killer stood on top of building smiling as he looked at Solar.

Oh young prince, only if you could have seen my true form. But in time you will. Now I must ready myself for our final fight, where I will finally release your true form. Then with that done, our battle will be one for the history books. Killer laughed as he began to jump away.

***

Shining sat in his hospital bed.Solar stood looking out the window at his home town in Shining's room. He ran his hand through his hair. He had learned the truth behind what the brothers were doing that interested the New Blood and what the New Blood killed them for. Shining hadn't decided to tell Solar about Killer's true side, he knew it wasn't a burden for Solar to bare.

"So liquefied medical spells." Said Solar

"That's what the file said, any idea why?" Asked Shining

"Only one, a liquid spell is much more powerful because of its ability to be combined with other liquid spells to creates spells that can't be cast. The spells also can be taken every where and used in any fashion. A weapon that will certainly make catching the New Blood just one step harder." Said Solar

"But I still don't get why they need it. The brothers were only developing medical spells. Our files say that the New Blood would rather die than heal their own wounds. So why would the New Blood want the brothers to further their research into such a product?" Said Shining

"I wish I knew Shining, I wish I knew." Said Solar looking out the window

Shining gave a sigh before looking out the window. So the plot thickens and I fear that we are all just pawns in the New Blood's sick game. But I have a feeling that Solar is much more than just some pawn to them, but what would they gain from Solar. A plot with to many questions and not enough answers. Hopefully we get the answers before this 'coming' happens. Shining sighed as he sat down on his pillow and rested his head as he looked back at his brother in-law. He then closed his eyes and began to sleep away his pain.

Author's Notes:

So part 3 of 3 is done. I do hope you enjoyed this little three parter. I will continue to do multi part chapters later on. Now it seems we have just gotten a little more info about the future of the New Blood and more about our assassin, Silent Killer. So many questions, but so many spoilers to answer them. I guess I'll just have to leave you all hanging with those ideas as you wait for the future to tell you.

Comment, like, follow, share and tell. I can't believe it, half way there to 200 likes. Let's keep this like train rolling. So I will leave you on this faithful day, till me meet again. Note, I will be working on The Lawyer and the Queen a little more. So Solar Son chapters will be put on a slower pace. So expect them to come out much later, while The Lawyer and the Queen comes out more often. Just wanted to get more chapters to my third story. Well see you all next time.
