Chapter 25: Chapter 24 - The Boogeywoman Strikes Again

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

The next day, 12:30 PM.

It was literally a good day for the Rainbooms and Juniper to take a walk to the Sugarcube Corner, except for Twilight of course who is still grumpy about all she did these days and all she did as a soldier. Even though the weather was much more cloudy but it didn't indicate rain would fall down from the sky from the looks of the light grey colors, just in case of this situation she wears blue jeans and winter-pattern camo jacket plus a black beanie on her head which delight Rarity to see it. Well, even they had a good day to walk to the Sugarcube Corner a little far, Twilight didn't expect that Sunset was also bringing along Princess Twilight and Starlight Glimmer from Equestria with them, which practically she would say, 'much of a shitter'. Twilight was basically the one who were at the very front of them to lead the way grumpily as she muttered to herself something they don't know of. Princess Twilight and Starlight then caught up with her not wanting to lose her pacing.

Twilight, as usual, looked around her making sure there's no danger around. But still angry at herself for her memories, especially remembering herself as a monster. But for a moment she let it go now, and took another step in mind which is trying to talk with them. But the only thing that exist around them is only the silence from Twilight, the princess, and Starlight while those on behind them chat happily (and making sure to not piss Twilight off because saying the wrong word). But what made Twilight much more annoyed and pissed was to listening every single loud word from Pinkie who is keep talking for two hours straight, especially when talking about party. Twilight try to hold her emotion for now and kept walking.

Then for a while, her brother, Shining Armor, with Principal Cadence and her mother, Twilight Velvet alongside him, met them on the sidewalk and greet them (Good thing is they both are already get used to see double Twilight). They all greeted, but Twilight only greet them with an upset nod. Shining, Cadence and her mother did asked her what's wrong with her, by she didn't reply, instead only kept her eyes straight as she walked in silence. Even she got called by them again, she only ignored it. But they keep insisting to call her over and over again, while her friends behind (Including the princess and Starlight Glimmer who decided to go back behind her) still talking to each other.

"Twilight!" Shining called.

"Twilight!" her mother called as she nudged her harshly. "Why you ignored us?"

Twilight then looked to her right to see them. "Sorry, I'm just lost in thoughs."

Cadence suddenly worried to hear that. "Something troubles you?"

"Nothing troubles me," Twilight replied with cold, not bothering to answer whilst to look at them. "I assure you."

"I don't think so, sis," Shining said as he looked on her expression. "You looked upset."

"I'm fine, min bror," Twilight replied. "There's nothing troubles me, alright?"

"It is true that you got mauled by a bear back in the camp?" Cadence asked, Shining and Velvet were shocked to that rumor they didn't heard of, Twilight only act casually upon hearing it. "I heard the rumor from your friends behind you."

"Yes and I died," Twilight answered, her mother, her brother and Cadence were surprised and amazed to that. "Now you see me I'm still alive after I died."

"What?!" Velvet shouted in disbelieve at her. "How do you even able to get away with it, do you even kill the bear, Sweetie?"

"Yes I kill it with my shotgun and had to walk 500 meters to reach the camp," Twilight said as she looked at her mother. "Even if I was in fatal state I manage to get through the day."

"W-wait," Shining though he was misheard that Twilight has a weapon. "You have a shotgun?"

"Yes I have," Twilight answered with a nod.

They four then went silent upon hearing it as they walked, Twilight, after a moment, sighed before saying something to them. "We will talked about this again once we're at the Sugarcube Corner, okay?"

Because the destination of those three were actually heading to the Sugarcube Corner they all only nodded. Twilight, her mother, her brother, and cadence were the only one who were silent along the road. Still her friends behind them actually still happy to talk. to each other. As they walked they looked around them to see how's life in the city going.

Like the normal things going on the city, all the people are in happy and joy. Chit-chat here and there, some did jogs on the sidewalks, kids playing around the road, and cars driving along the roads peacefully with the birds chirping in the air. Despite they cloudy day, some of the citizens were also bringing their umbrella on their hands and wears jacket just in case if it's rain. Besides Twilight and Sunset who were wearing jackets, they didn't bring any umbrella or waterproof jacket with them.

Princess Twilight and Starlight then decided to join up with Twilight after a moment of talk with the 6 friends behind them. The princess and Starlight did tell her anything about what they discussed back there, but Twilight only nodded at all they were saying. It's not that she wasn't listening about it, she wasn't care for that. What was she's pretty cared about was wanting for Pinkie to shut the hell up because she's still talking aloud until now (she's of course talking aloud when Twilight was talking to her family and Cadence next to her). Hard to say, Twilight trying to find a way to shut her up without any vulgar or violent act but it was pretty pointless.

A little longer later, Pinkie still talking aloud from behind her until she decided to hop forward to catch up with Twilight. Twilight felt like her head going to blow off in steam to hear Pinkie still talking. Much more a shite to her was, Pinkie directly speaks aloud right next to her about everything pretty fast including the parties she would planning. Twilight of course can hold the loud sound right next to her ear since she heard a lot of firearms and gun shot (And for a couple of times, she nearly deaf because she was standing next to the cannon of the tank that was firing). Twilight tried to shrug it off but can't though, Pinkie looks like much the worst one than Carl who always fuck shit up, and her emotion was kinda mixed with anger and cold.

"Uh, Pinkie?" her mother called. "It's not nice to talked to her like that."

"Oh come on," Pinkie teased whilst nudging the grumpy Twilight. "She would like about what I'm saying."

"I'm not sure about that, Pinkie," Princess Twilight said in doubt, Starlight then said. "She looks pretty upset."

"Well, I'msureTwilightgonnalike-" Pinkie said, before she got interrupted by an arm striking her throat from Twilight and keep pushing until Pinkie's back hit the wall, it surprised all of her friends and all the people around them.

Twilight was already pissed, she choked her throat again in anger whilst saying softly to her as Pinkie's eyes locked in hers. "Pinkie, you've been talking a lot for TWO...... FUCKING HOURS.......... STRAIGHT. And I am very annoyed, very sick, and very tired to listen to you talking like that. So do me a favor, don't say anything about any parties you were talking and I want for the next 5 hours straight....." Twilight change her voice into a very loud one. "YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! ALRIGHT??!!."

Pinkie quickly nodded in understood and fear, then Twilight let her throat go an Pinkie quickly took a deep breath. "Good."

After Twilight released her, she looked around her and saw everyone was in shock and awe to saw her violent actions to Pinkie. Her mother and brother were quite in shock until they had to left their jaw open, while Cadence, the princess, Starlight, Sunset, and the rest were amazed and felt quite disbelieve on what she did. Twilight then turned around at Pinkie and saw her were holding her throat, notice she felt a little pain there. With obnoxious feeling, she looked down to her right for a moment before she blinks and shook her head because of what she did. Then she turned again towards the path to the Sugarcube Corner and kept walking on, nearly leaving them behind to catch up with her as the people around them starting to get back on what are they doing.

Twilight and the group kept walking on. The princess and Starlight not sure what to ask to her since she was look so pissed, but when they saw her temper calmed down, they can be only glad with that. Pinkie, who was already with Sunset, Juniper and the others only shuts her mouth, do what Twilight ordered her to. Shining, cadence, and Velvet were worried on what is making her mad than that while the princess and Starlight thinking of something to ask. Twilight then looked over to her left to see if someone wanted to ask her something.

"So," Starlight said. "How's your day at the camp going?"

"Worst than I though," Twilight said in regret. "I unintentionally hurt someone back there."

"Why though?" Princess Twilight asked curiously.

"Well, they keep asking on what troubles me in a threatening stance," she replied to her. "So that has made me angry and I had to beat them."

"I hope you're not making enemies, Twilight," her mother said as she looked at her daughter. "Not after that terrible day."

"I'm not," Twilight replied quickly. "I just can't control on my own situation, it's just....." Twilight only shook her head in loss of word.

"Easy, we will continue this conversation after we get there," Cadence said to her, then Shining continued. "You look so thirsty, sis. Take a break to not talk for awhile."

"Alright."

"Uh, Twilight?" Pinkie called from behind her.

Twilight stopped and made them all stopped as well, she turned around towards Pinkie in cold while the other next to her turned around and glance at them. "Yeah?"

"Look, Pinkie want to talk something to us," Fluttershy said softly to Twilight. "Can you, well... give a little leeway about not talking for 5 hours straight?"

"I agree with Shy," Dash said, Sunset, Juniper, Rarity, and Applejack gave a nod of consent. "Besides, it's not good for someone to keep their mouth shut for long."

Twilight took for a moment to decide it by looking down right out of the corner of the eyes, before looking back at them. "Fine, Pinkie may talk for every 30 seconds. Remember, I don't want to hear any loud voice from you and I don't want to hear anything about party, alright?"

"Thank you, Twilight," Pinkie said at last in relieve as she nearly bowed and nod her head at Twilight.

Twilight nodded for reply before she turned around and kept walking on, the rest follow suit. The whole group can only felt upset to see Twilight's behavior like that for now.

Moments later, they reach the Sugarcube Corner where Pinkie live and work. They can see that there were a couple of two-seat tables on the front of the building. one was occupied by Lyra and Bon Bon, second was Neon Light and Royal Pin from Crystal Prep, third was Cherry Crash (CHS) and Frosty Orange (Crystal Prep), and the fourth was Valhallen and Heath Burns. The group greeted them before they went inside the white building of the Sugarcube Corner. After they enter, Twilight can felt nothing but a fresh feeling in her mind to take a break.

Inside the building, there were some two-seat tables, 4 4-seat tables, and two particular spot for more than 4 people to sit. There were Octavia and Vinyl, Tennis and Cloudy, Teddy and Ringo, Watermelody and Baton, Fleur Dis Lee and Upper Crust, Timber and Daisy and more of them on the two-seats tables. The Dazzlings band plus Photo Finish and The Illusions band plus Flash took two 4-seats tables, and the third 4-seats table was occupied by the Crystal Prep students which are Cold Forecast, Diwata Aino, Garden Grove, and Crystal Lullaby. For the seats more than 4, one of them occupied by Mrs. Cherilee, Mr. Cranky, Principal Celestia, VP Luna, and former Principal Cinch.

The group greeted all of them but in upset. They asked why they were upset but only gave a shook or stating that there was nothing making them upset for reply. Sunset and her band plus Juniper, Starlight, and Princess Twilight sat down on the more than 4 seats and ordered some snacks and drink, While Twilight, her mother and brother, plus Cadence decided to head to the 4-seats table. When Twilight about to headed to their table, she was called by Tennis and she turned around towards behind her, also making Shining, Cadence, and Velvet to turn around. Tennis was standing in front of her in grief of something.

"I just want to say," Tennis said to her as she's clenching her both hands underneath her stomach. "I'm sorry for your loss, Twilight."

Twilight knew who was she referring to, and with grief she smiled at her. "Thanks."

"How are you doing?" Tennis asked.

"Not well, to be honest," Twilight replied with a slow shrug and sighed. "I just felt tired after yesterday and the days before, you?"

"Actually," Tennis paused for a moment. "I'm just worried about you. Well, you know? Seeing how you are holding up..."

"I understand," Twilight nodded at her, but then she pointed her thumb to behind her whilst saying. "I want to talk with my mother if you don't mind."

"That's fine," Tennis said to her. "I want to get back to my seat now."

"Sure," Twilight said before they both head back to their seats.

They four sat down on their seats. Shining is next to Twilight while in front of them Velvet is next to Cadence (Next means on their right). After they sat down, they chat a little. Velvet asked her to tell what are their food order to Mrs. Cake. After each one of them said what they want to order, Twilight get off her seat and walked over to the counter where Mrs. Cake was standing. Mrs. Cake immediately took a notebook from the table counter and readied her pen.

"Hello there, Twilight," Mrs. Cake said in a little nervous after she saw her presence back in 11 June in her uniform. "May I take your order?"

"1 onion rings, 1 pasta salad, and 1 cinnamon roll," Twilight said as she lifts her fingers one by one according to the orders. "For the drinks, 2 coconut-soda juice, 1 cherry-grapefruit, and 1 moccachino coffee."

"Ok, your order will be coming soon," Mrs. Cake said as she puts her pen and her notebook on the table. "Please wait for a few minutes."

"Ok," Twilight said as she turned around towards where her mother, brother, and Cadence were seating.

"Wait," Mrs. Cake said to her, stopping her before turning around at her. "May I ask you something?"

"What is it?" Twilight asked.

"That time in 11 June," Mrs. Cake said as she remembers it, and with moderate voice although everyone doesn't heard what she said. "Are you soldier?"

Twilight only glance at her with emotionless eyes, before saying. "Yes I am."

Twilight then turned around again to head back to her seat, waiting for the orders to show up. They four only waited for the orders to show up in silence, none of them did talked after seeing what Twilight did to Pinkie which truly shocked them since she was her friend. Moments later, the orders showed up and all the orders are put down on the table. Twilight drank her coffee slowly as the others were only enjoying and eating their food and drinks. After Twilight put down her cup of coffee, her mother looked at her in concern.

"Why you don't eat something, Sweetie?" Velvet, her mother asked her.

"I'm not hungry," Twilight said as she leaned her back against her chair. "I'm just thirsty."

"Why coffee though?" Cadence asked. "I mean, it's already afternoon."

"I want to make sure myself that I'm not tired," Twilight said to her as she corrected her glasses.

"Well, you don't look tired to me," Shining said, which is literally a joke.

"Look again," Twilight said to her brother in annoyed.

"You sure don't want to eat something?" her mother asked in a little concern.

"I'm fine, mom," Twilight responds to her as she rubbed her left eye. "I just need a drink."

"Hmpf," Velvet then decided to bring up the last conversation back in the sidewalk. "Alright, what about telling us where and why did you buy a shotgun? I though you've had enough with firearms."

"And I bought one because I want to protect myself and my friends," Twilight replied firmly. "as for where did I get it, is I bought it at the gun shop near Camp Everfree."

"Wait, what?" Shining was kinda disbelieve with this fact as he looked at her sister. "I never knew that place was near the Camp."

"Look, it's...... very complicated to tell you this," Twilight said to them, unsure where to start. "But.... I'm a soldier."

They all only shocked and dumbfoundedly stare at Twilight after she said that. "What?"

"I can explain," Twilight said to them calmly. "I know you'll be angry about this-"

"Well, I am now!" her mother said angrily, gladly not loud nor even very. "How did you able to work as a soldier!? You're only a smart girl who do study and research!!"

"I have a friend that able to help me join the military so I got signed up," Twilight said calmly to her mother.

"Even despite the fact that this job could kill you?!" Cadence asked angrily.

"Yes," Twilight answered. "I can handle myself."

"Why you want to work as a soldier?!" her mother asked in disbelieve and outburst.

"I just want to proof myself that I can handle myself on every situation," Twilight replied still in calm. "Plus getting some adventure of my own."

"Why can't you asked your friends for that?" Shining asked her.

"Because they were busy on their own business for the 6 weeks vacation," Twilight answered firmly and calm. "So I had my own kind of adventure."

"And how it goes?" her mother asked, with an expectation.

"Not well," Twilight said, which is like what her mother expected.

"That's why I'm angry, Twilight!!" her mother said furiously. "You should have talked to us about it instead you just joined up like that!!"

"I'm sorry," Twilight said calmly to her. "I suppose to be do that but I already joined up because I was either excited or stupid to join up that fast."

"And I'm really glad if you didn't die again after what happen back in that day," Cadence said as softly as she can.

Twilight somehow went quiet after that and paused whilst staring at her. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Actually I did died," it shocked the three of them, this actually grows concern on her mother.

"How?" Velvet asked her.

"I don't want to talk about it," Twilight said grimly as she looked away to her left, looking towards the crystal prep students on the 4-seats table across them.

They don't know why she won't answer, but Shining asked another question to her. "Tennis mentioned you loss someone, who is it?"

Twilight only shook her head, not wanting to answer. It would set herself off if she did. She only felt hate, sick and tired to tell them that.

"Hey!" Velvet called her softly. "Don't you look away from us like that! Just tell us!"

"I can't," Twilight shook her head at them doubtly. "I just can't."

"What do you mean you can't?" Cadence asked in confuse.

"I can't!" Twilight said in little angry and doubt. "When I want to talk about it, it just makes me hate myself!"

"Whoa, wait," he said to her. "What makes you hate yourself?"

Twilight paused herself as she looked towards her brother, but then she spoke out that word. "I hate myself because for I am a monster...."

They three only aghast on what did Twilight said. Twilight limply leaned her head against the chair and sighed. Though this time she didn't cry, she was in grief, angry and hate to herself. She then limply pulled out a part of a dog tag from underneath her jacket on the neck and took a look at it. It was Dolker's dog tag she was holding and they though it was her dog tag (Which is actually she left it at home). She simply put it back underneath her jacket and slowly glanced at them.

"Why did I said that?," Twilight asked to particularly no one but herself in grief.

"A-a monster?" her mother asked confusedly. "You're not a monster, Sweetie."

"You just don't see it yet," Twilight said to them.

"Why don't you just... stop on what you're doing?" Cadence asked her.

Twilight only paused for a moment before she leaned forward and answered to her. "Because this is the path I chose, alright? I can't just walk away like that after I have got this far to survive. You can't change that except myself."

Twilight then folded her arms on the table, she then bowed her head for a moment before glancing back at them in a little angry expression before she leaned back against her chair in frustration. "Can we just stop this conversation? I don't feel like I want to talk more of it and I felt frustrated."

They just listened to her and take a look on her expression, it was clear she needs some break. "Alright, if you say so."

"Thanks," Twilight said before she sighed as she blinks.

Velvet though that she should asked one of Twilight's friend, Sunset to know what's the whole story with her. Seeing how is Twilight doing now, they decided to have some eat on their food. Twilight obligingly took an onion ring from her brother as they eat. They noticed Twilight was looking around her whilst drinking her coffee sip by sip.

Twilight see her friends in the cafe are happy. It was such a pure friendship she saw though, Crystal Prep are friends with CHS after that Friendship Games, gave a chance to new people to be friends, something like that. Though she was so worried about one thing. Because she is a soldier, she only fear if, she brought her war and troubles here with her. It was something that she kept thinking over and over again.

It was something she feared a lot for the whole time. Perhaps it will break her friendship, but also afraid that she would lost someone she love. Whether by the hand of the evil people or perhaps herself because she's gone fucking insane and angry at herself after all she did. Though it's only the matter of time waiting for that to happen. But she kept very glad at herself that none of someone she knows got hurt until now, except for what she did at Pinkie of course. But then she blankly stared at the Crystal Preps and The Illusions band with Flash, thinking of something as she felt something.

"You're okay, sis?" her brother asked, snapping Twilight back to reality.

"Sorry," Twilight said quickly as she glanced at them. "I'm just being cautious."

"Why so?" Cadence asked curiously.

"Just in case if there's a robbery, I had to deal with them," they three chuckled at her statement.

"How though?" her mother asked. "You don't have weapon to deal with the robbers, besides they used firearms for that."

"Wouldn't believe if I say I was The Boogeywoman?" they were frozen after hearing that.

"You're.... the one who killed them with a pencil back in that restaurant?" Cadence asked.

"Yes," Twilight answered slowly. "With... a fucking... pencil."

Her mother was speechless for a moment except Cadence and Shining who were shocked to hear that, not only because she was a soldier, she can kill someone with something plainly simple as a pencil. "What?"

Twilight bowed her head for a moment before leaning again against the chair. "Yeah, Mom. I can kill them with a pencil."

"Because you had to, right?" her mother asked worriedly.

"Yes, I had to," Twilight replied with a nod. "I make sure every good people that were in danger didn't get harm."

After that, they continue to eat until the food is empty. All that's left is only emptying their drinks. Twilight still sipping on her warm coffee while the others enjoying their drink. As they did that, they chat to each other about other topics. Cadence and Shining both tell about how their both relationship doing well and how is going on in the Crystal Prep school. Velvet however, tell a topic about the library in town plus the Major Mare wanting to execute a community service at the park.

Twilight did got called by the princess and Starlight from across. Twilight came over to them and they asked her some questions regarding she as a soldier after Sunset told them everything. After a moment, Rarity kinda give her a doughnut for hampering her hunger generously. Twilight then get back to her seat after that.

"Do you think she'll be okay, Sunset?" Starlight asked to her.

"Hopefully," Sunset replied in concern. "After all she did lately."

"It's scientifically impossible that she came back alive again after died after fatally wounded," Princess Twilight said as she shook her head. "Of course except for the first one."

"Do you have any idea how she came back alive?" Juniper asked.

"Probably her magic that's still inside her sorta resurrect her I guess," Dash suggest as she shrugged with her arms folded.

"That would be impossible too, Dash," Pinkie said, before Sunset able to spoke something out from her mouth. "If she dies then her magic would gone just like that, no other theories than that."

"But how though?" Fluttershy asked as she thinks with her index finger under her chin. "Even with defibrillator won't work?"

"Ya' know?" everyone then looked over to Applejack, who has put down her cowgirl hat on her thighs. "Yesterday back at the Camp when ah' looked over to her. She asked me a question, a hard one. Her question was why God forbid her to die."

They all glanced at her with confusion of Twilight's question that was given to her, but then both Starlight and the princess don't know about one. "Who's God?"

"Well, He is the almighty spirit and the creator of the universe," Rarity answered. "He ruled this world in the afterlife."

"Oh," Starlight then focused everyone back on Twilight's question. "What did you answer to her question?"

"Well, ah' said to her that ah' don't know why," Applejack said as she raised both hands above her shoulders. "But in ma'h opinion is that she was lucky to have God by her side."

Everyone continued their enjoyable day at the cafe. Until, blokes of consist 5 black wool-masked men entered the Sugarcube Corner with their pistols aimed at them. Princess Twilight nearly sat up to face them until Juniper stopped her with an arm across her chest and tell her that they will kill her right away if she do that. Everyone in the cafe screamed and didn't able to contact the police by phone. The robbers shouted to raised their hands in their seats or when they still stand up. There were around 7 robbers on site, 4 of them are inside the cafe and the other 3 are still outside, securing their hostages that are currently seating or standing at those tables out of that cafe.

They told everyone in that cafe to pull out their money, including Mrs. Cake who was at the counter. The lead robber was standing between the 4 tables where The Dazzlings band plus Photo Finish and The Illusions band plus Flash were seating with their hands up. He and his robbermates though everything is going well as planned, until he saw something off. The lead robber was staring at the only person who didn't raised her hands, which is Twilight, who was still sipping on her coffee. All of her friends (including her family), were all staring in shock and awe towards her.

Her friends from near and distant and her mother and brother were all trying to told her to raise her hands up, but she didn't listen but to sip her coffee. The robbers then shut them up and the lead robber then ordered Twilight to raise her hands. But she didn't even obey. And Dash somehow knew she was actually implying she didn't give a fuck about it.

"Oi, you!" shouted the lead robber as he aims at her. "I said raise your hands."

As she still doesn't give a fuck about it, she silently inspects her equipment she coincidentally brought today by feelings. She brought her M9 sidearm that she holstered on her belt, hiding underneath her winter-camo jacket. No knives were with her, but there's one melee weapon she brought today, a fucking pencil.

"Alright, you stubborn girl!" The lead robber shouted, then quickly aiming his pistol downward a few times whilst saying. "Stand up and get over here!"

Twilight only stand up from her seat and firmly walking towards him, and standing right in front of him and his aimed pistol. What was making the robbers and everyone in the cafe surprised was Twilight didn't show any fear, worry nor nervous. Twilight only gave an expression of cold, annoyed, and grumpy at the lead robber. The lead robber was confused a little why she had that kind of expressions, but he tried intimidate her again, but first he ask questions first.

Before that, Twilight recon the area quickly with her eyes darting everywhere. The lead robber is currently standing in the center of the floor, in the center of the 4 seats-table position. There was another robber on the right side of the lead robber, standing between the Crystal preps students on the front and The Dazzlings on the back. There were also another 2 robbers behind the leader, the nearest behind him was the one between The Dazzlings and The Illusions while the farthest was the one between Watermelody and Baton on the right side and Fleur Dis Lee and Upper Crust on the left side. The other three are still outside taking money from those who are outside the cafe as they took a glance many times to inside by windows.

"Do you know this is a robbery, right?" the lead robber asked as he tilted his head to the left and his right hand armed with pistol still aiming at her.

"Yes, I know," she replied with a nod and in a flat tone.

"Then why don't you raise your hand?" the robber asked.

"Because I don't give a fuck about it," Twilight answered coldly, everyone including the robbers and her family were very surprised to hear that.

"Do you think we're playing here!?" the lead robber shouted as he cocked his pistol with the *clack* sound before aiming back at her.

"No, and I'm not worried about your gun aiming to my head," Twilight replied bravely and coldly.

"Oh you want to play dare, eh?" the lead robber said with a chuckle and a few nods. "That is not a wise step, moron."

Twilight was insulted by that word, but still she kept her calm. "I'm not playing dare and I'm very serious about it."

"Oh, do you even want to die, girl?" the lead robber asked with shook. "You are stupid enough to see that coming."

"No, you're the one who is stupid enough to see what's going to happen next, bastard," Twilight replied coldly, with a little anger.

"What!?" the lead robber asked back with a feeling of insult. "Alright, I'm going to kill y-"

Before the lead robber managed to pull the trigger on the pistol, Twilight quickly grabbed the pistol by the barrel with left hand and bend the pistol along the robber's right hand to her right, basically aiming at the wall next to them. Whilst doing that, Twilight quickly pulled her pencil out from her pocket of her jacket with the right hand and quickly, stabbed his hand by his front wrist and went through the back of his wrist. The lead robber screamed in pain as his hand automatically pulled the trigger, only to found out that the gun didn't able to fire some bullets because her hand is gripping and locking the barrel very strong and it made the pistol jammed. Everyone in the cafe including the robbers were shocked and frightened on what the hell just happened. After that, Twilight pulled out the pencil from his bloody wrist and he dropped the gun and he quickly grabbed his bloody wounded wrist with a scream.

They all didn't see what weapon she used to attack him, they though she use a small knife to attack him. Twilight, after pulling the pencil out from his wrist, she proceeds to grab his back of the head and pulled in. Whilst swinging her hand that was armed with a pencil, towards his forehead and stabbed deeply. After that stab, the screaming-in-pain lead robber suddenly stopped, leaving his mouth open and eyes closed. She's still holding the pencil that was already struck into his forehead as he still standing in dead, before she pushed his and let his corpse fell to the ground. Everyone in that cafe was beyond shock, Fluttershy screamed in horrid, her mother and brother just said 'oh my God' in dumbfounded, the principals gasped in frightened and scared, the robbers were staring in heavy surprise and dumbfounded at their robbermate corpse, the rest of them, who knows about her secret were surprised, those who didn't were shock. What makes them much beyond shock was, they saw there was a pencil was attached to his forehead as blood pouring out from him.

For the first time in their life (except for Tennis, Cloudy, Adagio, and Trixie), they saw Twilight just killed someone with a pencil right in front of them. WITH A FUCKING..... PENCIL. They all felt disbelieve on what the fuck did they just witness. Some of the students who doesn't know Twilight's secrets (including the Crystal Preps) realized that, Twilight is not just a student. And they really hate to admit that, the Twilight they saw. SHE WAS THE FUCKING BOOGEYWOMAN.

"Rest In Peace, motherfucker," Twilight said at the dead body a little aloud, everyone felt staggered to hear that, Rarity was the one who felt that was one horrid insult and it scared and disgusted her

"Holy shit!" the robber between The Dazzlings and the Crystal prep students shouted. "IT'S THE BOOGEYWOMAN!"

"Shoot her!" the robber between the Dazzlings and The Illusions shouted in alert.

Before they able to aim their gun at her, Twilight quickly pulled out her pistol from the holster underneath her jacket and aimed her gun at the robber on her left between the Crystal Preps and The Dazzlings by aiming below her stomach and shot him in the stomach with one hand, before aiming again quickly with both hands and aimed down the sight and shot his head. While those shots occurred, everyone in the cafe were screamed and ducked down to the floor, under the table, and took cover behind chairs and tables (In principals and Sunset's case, she and her friends along with the principals took cover behind the sofa they did sit on. After killing a robber there, she quickly aimed and ran towards the robber standing between The Dazzlings and The Illusions who was able to aimed his gun at her but didn't have time to pulled the trigger due to Twilight shot him twice on his shoulder whilst she's running towards her. He nearly fell to the ground after Twilight hugged him by his neck and use him as a human shield. The next robber between Watermelody with Baton and Fleur with Upper Crust fired 3 shots towards Twilight but only to get hit by his robbermate that was used as a human shield on his back.

Twilight aimed her pistol across the left shoulder of the dead human shield as she ran towards the robber ahead and shot him in the stomach once before proceed to shot the head quickly and he fell to the ground. Twilight is still using the human shield and charged to the next robber as the 4th robber ahead shoots his gun at Twilight but only to end up at the human shield. Until, his gun has jammed, which is one of everyone's nightmare when they are at combat. Upon hearing the gun jammed, Twilight dropped the human shield harshly to the left and charged at him with her gun on the right hand. Twilight was closed enough to him so the robber try to make a blow by swinging his right hand armed with pistol from behind his shoulder to her. After Twilight reached that bastard, she blocked his blow with her left arm and quickly hit his chest with her right hand-armed pistol (finger not on the trigger) to staggered him and then grabbed his head with her right arm across the shoulder to his back of the head and then pulled him downsides to the floor, make him turned upside down on the floor, head near her foot.

She then quickly aimed her pistol at him and shot his head in cold. Counted there're still 8 bullets left in the magazine. Using her instincts, she can felt that two of the robbers outside are heading inside to kill her. She quickly turned around and ran towards the entrance of the cafe with her gun now on the left hand. The 2 robbers entered the cafe and the one in front of the other robbermate aimed his gun at her. But upon pulling the trigger, it was interrupted by Twilight who caught his hand-armed pistol with her right hand and cause him to spin around towards his robbermate behind him along with Twilight.

Twilight quickly did a quick shot at the robber behind him in the stomach before quickly shot the robber in the stomach after he spun around by Twilight. She quickly raised her gun to aim the head of the robber she's still holding by his hand and shot him before quickly aiming her gun with both hands at the robber behind the robber she killed, aiming by the head and pulled the trigger, killing him. Only one of those bastards left, she quickly walked towards the entrance and suddenly the last robber popped out in front of her. Good thing was, she was close enough to him, she quickly hit his hand-armed pistol away and shot his right shoulder to prevent him from aiming and shooting her and made him staggered. He took a couple of back steps and Twilight quickly hits his throat with the firing end of her pistol before shot him again in the left shoulder and made him to step back a few times again. With a scream, Twilight kicked him in the stomach which making him stepped back to the intersection of the road (off from the sidewalk) and before he fell to the ground, he was crashed by a car that was about to pass by the traffic light.

*BRAK*

(If the music still playing, stop the music now)

The car stopped as the robber got crashed and his upper body hit the hood of the car pretty hard before he fell to the ground hard and his gun thrown away, feeling some of his body got broken. Twilight however, standing coldly at the edge of the sidewalk, watching the last robber that was laid down on the road in pain. All the people around her, which are all the students of CHS and Crystal Prep (excluding some of the civilians she doesn't know of), are terrified of what just happen. But what was more horrid for them, was they all saw Twilight holding a pistol on her side. Those who still are inside the cafe, some of them looked outside through the windows, some of them came outside the cafe (which are only her mother, Tennis, Sunset, Flash, Baton, and Timber) after they witness her killings back inside.

The weather was already cloudy and dark like it was about to rain. The dying robber slowly crawled on the road, for sure he was reaching for the gun. Twilight calmly walked onto the road, walking towards him. Before he managed to reach his gun, he turned his body around only to found out that Twilight already aiming her gun at his head. Seeing this, the robber didn't do anything except being frozen as he stared at her gun is aiming at his head. There's only one bullet left in her pistol, and it may be used to kill him.

It was a very intense sight. Everyone was in silent as they were scared of what Twilight will do next. Even when Twilight aimed her gun at him, she has some thoughs. There was one part telling her that, let him live, and there's another telling her just kill him. She felt both pity and anger towards the robber. She took some times until she made a decision.


Her killing part wins the game.

*DOR*

Everyone suddenly screamed in horrid after the robber was shot in the head, leaving his blood from his holed forehead into the road, and eventually, rain drops from the sky. Despite the cold water of rain that are pouring down to them, they were still froze after Twilight took the shot at the bastard and still aiming her empty pistol at him cold-blooded. Twilight then slowly lower her gun and put her weapon on the holster as she kept staring at the dead robber. She took a couple of deep breathes before she slowly turned around and walked back to the entrance of the Sugarcube Corner. Then she stopped right there, in front of her friends who were still terrified, before Twilight turned around again looking at the dead robber in the middle of the road.

She then took out her phone and called in 911. She put her phone next to her ear whilst the phone beeps. After a moment, the call has been answered.

"911, what's your emergency?"

"911, this is Twilight. I got code 131 and code 132, I repeat, I got code 131 and code 132 at the Sugarcube Corner. I had to deal with them and I got 7 robber KIAs. No civilian killed nor injured. Requesting officers to secure the perimeter of the Sugarcube Corner and ambulances to clean up the KIAs, over."

"Roger that, Twilight. Officer Kurt and Deputy Copper are heading to your location now. The additional officers and ambulances will be coming to your location ETA 10 minutes. Stay at where you are, over."

"Roger that, I'll wait," Twilight then closed the phone call and put it back in her pocket on the jacket.

The friends near her were surprised with that. Not only she can kill them, she talked to 911 like how a soldier or a police officer would say. But seeing how she handle the situation, she is pretty decent to handle this sort of situation. After that, Twilight turned around towards her friends and her mother in front of the entrance. Still, she gave her cold expression to them.

"You're okay, Twilight?" her mother asked worriedly.

Twilight only remained silence after her question. But reply with a shook after a moment of pause. Sunset and Tennis come over to her and Twilight (with them leading her) came back inside the cafe. Anger, obnoxious, hatred expression was much more overwhelming her.

When about to return to her seat, she stopped at the entrance as she looked at everyone coldly while her friends and the principals, were very terrified, worried, scared and upset about what did she do. But they do understand that she had to (In the case for those who know her secrets, they understand that she had to do it as a soldier). She then walked on with her friends and mother, avoiding to stepped on one of the corpse of the robbers. Before she reached her seat, she knelt down near the robber she killed with a pencil, left struck in his forehead. Without hesitation for the gore she would made next, she pulled the pencil from his head like it was nothing, making Fluttershy fainted to watch it while the principals are disgusted with the sight.

She then sat down on her seat in calm and cold with her mother in front of her. Blood was on her right hand, she grabbed her cup of coffee and drink it. Everyone felt shabby that Twilight didn't bother if would leave the blood on the cup she's drinking. Twilight then put down her empty cup on the table, only to realize that she silently forgot to clean her bloody hands after she drank the coffee. Nevertheless, she only put down her hand on the table and clenched it with the bloody pencil next to it.

Then she looked around her again, this time focusing on the Crystal Preps. She can see Fleur, Neon, Royal, Upper, Cold, Garden, Crystal, and Diwata are seem to be afraid of her judging by their cautious behavior of keeping distance. When looking over to the principals and the teachers, they all shook their head in worry. Looking over to her friends, they all were dumbfounded and speechless. Looking to those who are outside the Sugarcube Corner which are her friends, were stoned and frozen on the sidewalks whilst looking to the scene and at Twilight through the window. The air in the room only filled with silence, it was only a moment until someone dare to asked her something.

"Twilight?" Photo, who was next to the teachers called, Twilight then looked over to her slowly.

"What is it?"

"Is it true...?" Mr Cranky then paused. "You're The Boogeywoman?"

Twilight then looked away from him, but gave a griefly nod to them.

"May I ask how did this started, Boogeywoman?" Mrs. Cherilee asked.

"It's a long story," Twilight replied in low voice. "And please, don't call me by that name for now."

They don't know why she asked that, but they accept to not call her by that name for now. After a minute, a sound of a police siren came closer and the police cruiser parked right in front of the Sugarcube Corner. Deputy Copper and Officer Kurt got out from their car and radioed the station before Deputy Copper secured the dead robber in the middle of the intersection whilst Kurt entered the Sugarcube Corner with hand on the pistol holster. And yep, he wasn't surprise to see those kind of killings if Twilight is around. They were confused by the officer's expression like he had nothing to worry about. He then walked forward passing the dead bodies of the robbers and stopped right next to Twilight. They did expect that Twilight got arrested for that, but they were wrong.

"So, uh...." Kurt said as he looked around the scene. "You're not working right?"

"Nope," Twilight replied with her eyes straight forward to her mother, everyone in there especially her mother, the principals and the teachers were felt awkward by this.

"Self-Defense?" Kurt asked. "And stopping the robbery?"

"Yep," Twilight replied still locking her eyes to Velvet.

Kurt did not surprise about this, but of course he didn't expect to see this killing coming. "What a mess you made, Boogeywoman."

Everyone was very surprised by the name he mentioned. "Wait, you know that she was a Boogeywoman?!" the princess asked with her eyes wincing.

"Yep," Kurt replied towards the princess. "Don't worry about 'she's about to get arrested stuff'. She did the right thing as a friend of police officers."

Everyone single one of them gave their unbelievable glare at him and was speechless for a moment. "WHAT!!??"

Kurt only kept his cool at this, until Copper came in the cafe. Surprised a little to see killing being done by Twilight herself, she was also impressed that none of the people in there were harmed. Copper already said to Kurt that the additional officers and ambulances were already on the site as the sirens of those police and ambulance cars came closer and stopped right in front of and near the cafe. The people who were outside the cafe were instructed to stay behind the police line, while those who were inside the cafe were said to be not out from there for awhile for some reason (except Mrs. and Mr. Cake who can't stand to kept looking at the dead bodies of the robbers).

Kurt asked questions to her friends which are the Rainbooms and the Dazzlings (Princess Twilight, Juniper, Starlight, and Flash are included) while Copper asked questions to the Crystal Preps and with the Illusions band, plus with Lt. Cobbler was on site, Cadence and her family were called away from her for private questioning. Those who didn't get ask by the police only sat straight on their seats as they occasionally looked over to Twilight either by the corner of their eyes or turning their heads at her. After a moment of waiting as the paramedics moving the dead bodies to the ambulance, Dash, Timber, Diwata, and Starlight came over to her and sat near her (in Diwata's case, she stood next to Twilight).

"I gotta admit, Twi," Dash said with a little smile but wincing her eyes. "That was awesome."

"How did you even didn't get hurt by them, or killed?" Diwata asked.

"Skill," Twilight replied with a sigh, which Diwata accept her answer awkwardly.

"Right..."

"Do you really had to kill him?" Starlight asked, then Timber continued. "You already hurt him much bad after the car crash. Why did you kill him?"

Twilight paused for awhile in though with her head bowed down, but then she answered. "I... did though about letting him live or not. But my killing part made me do it. I just had to..."

"Easy, that's alright," Dash said as she patted her shoulder. "We know your job is a rough one."

"Uh.... what job?" Diwata asked confusedly.

"Oh, yeah we forgot about you," Timber said as he looked towards her. "Well, it's a long story but I'll try to explain later."

After a moment, someone else than an officer has entered the Sugarcube Corner despite the police line was made around the perimeter. Copper and Cobbler was about to tell him to get out, but they were surprised about who was he. The man who entered the cafe was a soldier. He was still wearing his kevlar vest but his sidearm was still on the belt and his rifle was in the rifle bag on his back. And he didn't wear his helmet on for his helmet was leave hanging on is back also, revealing his small black of hair. Everyone felt odd of his presence in the cafe.

Cobbler then walked over to him and asked him a question. "Who are you and what are you doing here, sir?"

"My name is Colonel Parry Marshall Wenton," he answered. "And I'm looking for someone, her name is Twilight,"

"Oh, she's right there, sir," Cobbler said pointing at Twilight which was with her friends. "You're Twilight's commanding officer?"

"Correct, excuse me," he said then he walked over to her and her friends.

Seeing a soldier is a usual sight for them. But seeing a soldier walking into a crime scene like that was an odd one. After he walked over to them, they greeted him respectively and Twilight stood up from her seat and salute him firmly. Dash, Starlight, and Timber know why she salute him but Diwata and the rest (except those who knows) were confused by this.

"I didn't expect you'll be here, Colonel," Twilight said to him.

"And I didn't expect you'll be here also," the colonel replied (yes, he was a bit surprised to see that the robbers were killed by Twilight and he didn't know she'll be here). "Guess I'm giving you some lecture about this, Corporal."

"Wait, who's Corporal?" Diwata asked though she misheard.

"Twilight is the corporal," then it reminded him on something and he looked over to Twilight. "Did you tell them about it?"

"Some of them, but not too many," Twilight replied. "And still I'm not in the mood of talking about that now."

"Okay," Marshall said to her. "Is your friend Sunset is here?"

"Yeah, she's over there," Starlight said as she pointed towards Sunset with her band and Juniper. "Why you're also looking for her?"

"It's about what Twilight doesn't want to tell me about."

"Wait, The Red Day?" Timber and Dash asked almost simultaneously.

"Oh, you know this?"

"Yeah," Diwata answered. "See that girl who is identical as Twilight here? She's the princess from another universe, of ponies. Well, she and Sunset were both trying to find a way to save this Twilight to bring her back alive. But we had to send Applejack, Indigo and Sour to save her." Colonel understood the detail, but what made him taken back was when she mentioned that Princess Twilight is a princess from a universe of ponies.

"Uhh... did you just said ponies?" Marshall asked disbelieve on what he heard.

"Yep, universe full of magics," Dash said, but then Colonel have understood about how did she get the magics.

"I see," Colonel then looked over to Sunset with her band (and manage to wake Fluttershy up after she fainted) that were talking with Officer Kurt before looking back to Twilight and her friends. "Now if you don't mind, I want to talk with Sunset."

"Sure, actually me and Starlight want to talk to them," they three then headed forward Sunset and her band, leaving Twilight, Timber and Diwata at the 4-seats table.

After a moment, Flash walked over to Twilight wanting to talk. "So, does this reminds you on any mission?"

"It reminded me when I had to infiltrate enemy building with machine guns alone to take them out."

After they three reached Sunset and her band, Kurt looked at the Colonel and greeted. "Afternoon, sir. You must be Twilight's commanding officer, Colonel Marshall."

"Yes, I am," he answered. "May I talk with Sunset and her friends for awhile?"

"Go ahead talk to them," Officer Kurt answered with a smile. "I just finished asking questions."

"Thank you, sir," Colonel said.

When Officer Kurt is about to leave to handle the crime scene with the other officers, he added a couple of words to Colonel. "Also, good job on kicking those Talibans asses."

Colonel laughed a little at this and replied back at him. "With pleasure, Officer."

"Um, Colonel?" the princess asked awkwardly.

"Oh, yes?" Colonel asked to her.

"What are Talibans?" Princess Twilight asked.

"In short they are terrorist, evil soldiers who terrorize the good people and the government. In their case they had a war with the United States for their religion and mostly politics, but also they swore that foreigners in their territory will be removed."

"Oh, I understand," the princess said with a smile. "Um, you want to ask us something?"

"I want to get some information about Twilight, regarding The Red Day."

"Oh," Rarity was a bit surprised about that. "That's what Twilight doesn't want to talk to you about?"

"Yes," Colonel nodded.

"Ah' would suggest we talk about this in private," AJ said to him. "We don't want everyone 'ere heard what we are talking about."

"Let's talk outside," Sunset suggested.

"Alright, ladies first," Colonel and Sunset along with her band then walked out the cafe to continue their conversation in private despite the police forces are around.

After the police asking questions to everyone in that area, they all are free to go. Twilight now heading somewhere else again, this time accompanied by her band, the principals, her family, Timber with his sister, Flash, Juniper, Starlight and the princess, along with the Colonel. Twilight only remained silent as the colonel talk to them as they walk, talking how much Twilight had done for her service in the army. And it was good to say, it was very pleasant for them to hear. Colonel then looked over to the Corporal who was still upset about something.

"You're okay, Twilight?"

"No," Twilight then stuffed her hands in the pocket of her jacket.

"Care to tell me what is it?"

"I got a feeling that I'll bring chaos whenever I go."

Colonel paused for a moment after she answered that. "Actually I believe that you don't bring something like that around, I assure you. You only had to do your job, follow orders, and did some bad things and good things for the right way."

"I see."

They then walked in silence again as they tour around the town. You know? Twilight been asking to herself, just keep asking one question that anyone can hardly answer.

When will she die?

Well, you had to do what you had to do, Twi.
