- >A Firebird Pontiac, running at 160mph, is crossing the roads
- >Inside, two young males are going to their next adventure
- >Their names are: Ace Thruster, agent extraordinare, and Coffee Klatch, proffesional BOI agent
- >And both have one mission: investigate the recent magic events in Equestria Land
- CK: Could you lower the volume, please?!
- >Or at least they are trying
- AT: What do you have against Def Leppard?
- CK: Nothing, just the absurd volume you are playing his songs are driving me mad!
- AT: You were ok with it five states ago
- CK: Because it made me deaf! But now I recovered my hearing, lower the volume!
- AT: Fine, anyway, why are we here again?
- CK: We are here to investigate the magic events in the amusement park "Equestria Land"
- AT: They reopened that joint? I passed it two exits ago
- CK: What? Take us there!
- >Ace turns the wheel hard, and makes an U-turn
- >Coffee's body bounces at the quickturns, while his partner manages to get into the exit
- >They reach the park, and Ace turns 180° to one occupied parking spot
- >The SUV flies away at impact
- AT: Mothefucker, he better didn't left me a scratch
- CK: A scratch? You hitted his car and send it flying away!
- AT: Whoa, really?
- >Ace takes a sniper scope, and watch the car fly and fall into an explotion
- AT: Nice, that distance could cover 3 football stadiums
- CK: Incredible...
- >Both leave the muscle car
- AT: Aw yeah, let's have some fun!
- CK: This isn't a vacation Ace, we are here to investigate
- AT: Are you expecting me to do my job when I have a rad amusement park in front of me?
- CK: Exactly
- >Coffee looks away while retrieving his notepad
- CK: Ok, the first thing is-
- >The last thing he sees is Ace entering the park like a giggling kid
- CK: Damn it Ace
- >Well, Ace fucked off somewhere, and you are no nanny, so you choose to start your investigation alone
- >A small gray man with wide glasses is in the entrance both
- >"Hello, welcome to Equestria Land! It will be $10"
- >You pay the shill-looking guy the entrance fee, and enter the park
- >As expected from these places, the area is filled with screams and exuberant laughter, as the smell of candy and sweets sweep the worries away
- >You open your notepad, and start writing the objectives
- Place: Equestria Land
- Places of interests: Security, parade, witnesses in various games or stands
- Objective: Find the magic item, and the main user for interrogation and investigation
- >Well, this is an amusement park. A business
- >And businesses have protection like guards and cameras
- >You check a map, and see the guard's post
- >You go over there to find an old man
- "Excuse me"
- >"Sure thing son, what do you-?"
- >The old man looks at you surprised
- >"Tony! Where were you, old slick?"
- "Sorry sir, I think you-"
- >the man hugs you
- >"Now, now, don't tell me you forgot about good ol' Stan?"
- "Stan?"
- >"Stanley Exsior! Remember when we were just kids sneaking home so we could read comics?"
- >This man is obviosly senile, and you always dress like you come from '52. Better play the part
- "Uhh... Yeah! Been a long time"
- >"Wish I'd see you more often. You always got into trouble trying to get easy money"
- "I don't think so"
- >"Last time I heard, some cops took you"
- "Yeah... Well... They just gave me a slap and told me to stop doing it"
- >"Hehe, that never stopped you. How about we remember the old days in my office?"
- >That was easy
- "Sure"
- >The man opens the door, but then his radio sounds
- >>"Someone recieving? Please come to the water ride. Code Brown"
- >"Darn it. Well, I'd better be going. How about you wait for me here?"
- "I can do that"
- >"Don't get in trouble you sly weasel"
- >The old guard leaves you alone
- >The room has a file archive, security tapes, and the camera survelliance system
- >File digging is your turf, you are great behind the desk just as on the streets
- >You use a lockpick, and unlock the archive. There are a lot of files
- >Not many findings, just payrolls, budgets, and personnel files
- >You find Stanley again, may as well write his info
- -Stanley Exsior, 73. A bit senile, easy to be confused. He has been working here for 2 months-
- >You draw an sketch of him in your notepad. You aren't the one to brag, but you like your little sketches
- >You return all the files, but something caught your eye
- >Why there was a cellphone in all the park's expenses?
- >As you put away the files, you write down the cellphone number
- >After everything is put in order, you contact HQ
- "Agent Klatch, badge K2407"
- >"Nice to receive your call Mr Klatch, how can we help you?"
- "I found a cellphone number. I would like to know who it is"
- >You type the number
- >"Give us some time, and we will contact you again"
- >The transmition is cut, and you are in the survelliance system now
- >The cameras show everything: the parade area, snacks, souvenirs, and attractions
- >You see Stanley scolding the grown-up man who shit in the water ride
- >You also see the parade: a person in a very flamboyant white costume is there in front of a parade car. Looks like the show isn't beginning yet
- >Finally, you see Ace. He is in front of a sushi car
- >Why would a sushi car be in an amusement park?
- >It doesn't matter, the worker is a woman, and he went inside. That means 30 minutes without reaching him
- >At least you saw the park area. You can meet there when you contact him
- >You check the videos from a week ago
- >You probably would check the ones from yesterday, but the incident happened a week ago, and the only reason you two weren't right there was because Ace was fighting with deployment so he could have a muscle car for the road
- >What's so bad about a Focus anyway? It's 4 doors, it's simple, and it drives. Fair enough
- >But no, Ace always wants to drive "in style"
- >Whatever, you find the tape and let it play
- >Normal day: kids in games, adults enjoying together, some kid with a green beanie puked in the syrup supply for the caramel apples
- >Nothing out the ordinary, except for one thing
- >A girl made dissapear some people a few times in random areas with her phone
- >Reports said those people complained they were transported to a white room
- >You take note of this, and keep watching
- >At the parade event, the girl is playing crappy music with holograms, and when she was going to use her phone against the crowd, the same 6 suspects stops her, and one of them destroyed the cellphone with an energy whip
- >You add some extra notes and a reminder to update the Hostiles 7 file
- >A while later, Stan comes back
- >"Whoo-e! People should stop eating before jumping on that log ride"
- "Sure they should. Saw the brown code from here"
- >Both share a small laugh
- >"So, Tony, what you been up to these days?"
- "Uh... You know, this and that, there and there. I've been in small investigations"
- >"Didn't took you for a snich"
- "Not like that. I make a few questions and help people find other people. Simple stuff like that"
- >"Like a private DA from the movies"
- "Exactly. Actually, I'm on a case now"
- >"Knew it. I always see you when you need something"
- "You know, old habits die hard. Mind a few questions?"
- >"Not for a friend. Go ahead"
- >You pass a few pages from your notebook, and find the sketch of the woman
- "Do you know this woman?"
- >You show him the sketch
- >"Afraid not. I just got the job yesterday"
- "Sorry Stan, but I don't believe you"
- >"I'm sticking by my story"
- >You show him the file
- "You have been working for two months. You must have seen her before"
- >"Urggh, nabit. Fine, I know her"
- "Enlight me"
- >"We did that with your homemade fireproof suit, and you were 2 months in the hospital hahaha"
- "Stan.... Please"
- >"Alright. Her name is Vignette Valencia. I don't like her one bit, don't even want to talk about it"
- "Why?"
- >"She is way to uppity with her stuff. She wants everything her way. Last time she asked me for a caramel apple, I went to the stand and she threw it away because she said it was too red"
- "Looks way too uptight"
- >"And always looking at her thing"
- "Thing?"
- >"I guess kids call it phone these days? Back then a phone was at home or hooked on a post"
- "Oh, you mean a cellphone"
- >"Yes! She is always taking pictures with that thing. Phones aren't used to talk?"
- "They are Stan, they are"
- "So, how you've been holding man?"
- >"You know, can't complain. My memory is a bit wonky"
- "How?"
- >"Doctor said I had a bit of Alzheimer. I can't remember a lot of things, but I can still remember my friend"
- "Do you remember the old days?"
- >"Like they just happened yesterday!"
- >A wide smile appears in his face
- >"We were crazy rascals. But we had to settle down. I can't complain 'bout my job here. I just wish it was more exciting"
- "Like reading comics?"
- >"Now you are getting me. Shame I lost our first comic. Couldn't recover it"
- "Why?"
- >"Well, the first issue of Superman isn't as common as it was back then, and it was rare back then too. My gramps gave it to me"
- "Shame, I would have liked to read it"
- >"Someday"
- "There were any problems recently?"
- >"Do people shit in the woods?"
- "No, but they do it in the water ride"
- >Both share a laugh
- >"Alright, there wasn't anything weird. Just a guy having a loose stool"
- "Are you sure?"
- >"Sure"
- >You show him the tape
- "A week ago there was people saying they were moved to a white room. And the tape also shows strange activities in the parade"
- >"That isn't recent. That was a week ago"
- "Still recent to me"
- >"Alright, suit yourself. That Vignette gal was more weirder than ever. She only calmed down when that phone thing got broken. Now that I think about it, we didn't threw away all that trash"
- "You didn't?"
- >"No. The next day we were about to do it, but then people came saying the caramel was rancid or something making a lot of people sick"
- >Looks like they didn't knew about the kid who puked in the caramel supply
- >"They kept most of the trash in a deposit in a far away area in the park. They are still searching for the virus I think"
- >That means the phone is still here
- "Thanks for answering my questions Stan"
- >"Glad to help. You better be going, my boss doesn't like when I bring my friends here"
- "Don't worry. I understand"
- >Both leave the security office
- >"Now don't be a stranger alright, and tell Meg to come next time"
- "Sure I will Stanley. See you around"
- >"Excelsior!"
- >The man waves you goodbye
- >You return the wave walking away. Some distance later, you cross the security area from your Place of Interest list.
- >With a small lead, you make your way to the garbage deposit
- >The area is off-limits, but there's no guards
- >While you don't like to break the law, an unguarded area is almost an admission to left it open
- >You go in taking advantage of the legal loopholes
- >Oh God, you knew it was going to stink but not this bad!
- >As Stan said, there are scientific equipment close to piles of trash. Looks like they are still looking for the "virus"
- >You go deep into the deposit. The smell is worse
- >You grab your BOI watch, and follow the magic residue. A while later, you find a pile with the cellphone
- >Thanks, BOI advancements in technology. You weren't in the mood to call HQ to grab a giant container of crap
- >You take a BOI issued plastic bag and a pair of plastic gloves, and retrieve the phone
- >You are about to leave the place, but a guard sees you
- >"Hey you!"
- >Oh no
- >"This area is off-limits"
- "Sorry, I though the bathrooms were around here. The smell you know"
- >"What's in your pocket?"
- >The phone was pocking out!
- "Nothing!"
- >"Hey! That's a contaminated item, give it back!"
- "I can't! It's evidence for an investigation!"
- >"The investigation is here. Give it to me!"
- "No!"
- >You show your badge
- "I'm a federal agent. Let me-"
- >The man takes your badge!
- >"How cute. Find it in a cereal box?"
- >The guy throws your badge to the trash
- "Hey! What is your problem?"
- >"Give me the phone!"
- >The man tries to take it by force
- >You push him away and rise your arms
- >"Oh, now you've done it"
- >The guard stands in position
- >You react quickly and poke his eyes
- >The guard, blinded, backs off a bit
- >You throw a karate chop to the neck, making him lose balance
- >He tries to punch you, but you evade it easily
- >To finish this fight, you sweep his leg from behind as you push him with an open palm hit to the chest
- >*Ploof!*
- "Attacking a federal agent is a serious offense. I'll let it slide this time"
- >You go to retrieve the fallen phone, but the guard makes you slip
- >"T-this isn't over!"
- "Don't say I didn't warned you!"
- >Both stand up, and prepare in battle pose
- >You give him a feint
- >Looks like he was waiting for it, so he is still in front of you
- >You throw two punches, and he protects himself easily
- >He headbutts you, and you take a step back
- >Taking your back leg as advantage, you return the impact with a round house kick to the head
- >This disorients him, so you go back, and use a neck choke
- >It last a while, but he recovers by slapping your head with a fake-out
- >When you lose your grip a bit, he throws a back-elbow hit, so you lose him
- >Both of you are ready to keep going, but suddenly
- [Screams in shitty japanese]
- >A guy with an orange blazer and green beanie jumps and starts beating the shit out of the guard
- >The guard reacts, and punches him in the face, losing his beanie
- >The kid doesn't stop. He is flailing his arms like spaghetti, and the guard barely evades the hits. He receives most in the head
- >The guard finally had enough, and grabs his tazer, freezing the boy
- >You take this chance and punch him in the liver. He pukes instantly, dropping his tazer
- >He grabs a 2x4 from the trash. Not the first time you took weapons from your enemies
- >But when he was ready to swing
- ZZZZAAAAPPPPPP!!!
- >"AAAGGGGHHHH!"
- >The guard falls unconcious
- >Behind him, agent Drops zapped him with his tazer
- "Miss Drops!"
- >"Hey Klatch. Long time no see"
- >A while later, after you retrieved your badge from the trash, and carried the kid away from the depo, both leave him on a bench
- >Sitting in another in front of it, both speak without making eye contact (enemies could be watching)
- "You did not had to interfiere. I had the situation under control"
- >"While BOI doesn't allow agents interfiering with another agents's investigations, I can't let my allies be in danger"
- "Who is the boy?"
- >"Normal Norman. A friend of mine"
- "Is he important?"
- >"Personal friend of Twilight Sparkle, and unconsenting lover of Sunset Shimmer"
- "The main suspects"
- >You take your notepad, but before you could make an sketch of him, agent Drops stop you
- >"He is in my case"
- "I have to report his involvement with mine"
- >"Sure, tell Mr. Smile I had to drug a random pedrestian to help you defeat a guard who saw you in a prohibited area"
- *chip!*
- >you broke your pencil. You throw it away, and grab another from your case
- "I won't report this incident if you won't speak about the events in the deposit area"
- >"Fair enough"
- >She stands up, and walks up to Norman. Then she puts his head to rest on her legs. A facade you suppose
- >You cross the deposit area from your notepad, and add the cellphone as evidence
- >Well, you are in peace for now. Let's make the best of it
- >The phone looks fine, but when you open it, the circuits are busted
- >Oh shit, you forgot. It was neutralized by that lightning whip. Maybe you took more hits than you though
- >You grab your BOI watch, and contact HQ
- "Agent Klatch, badge K2407"
- >"Good afternoon Mr Klatch, how can we help you?"
- "I think I have the item we needed to retrieve, but is too damaged. Can you take a look?"
- >You connect the phone to the watch, but no luck. The circuits are too fried
- >"Sorry mr. Klatch, but we cannot read it. We need you to bring it back to HQ. Do you have the main suspect?"
- "I'm afraid not. I though this phone could give me more clues"
- >"Sorry, but that isn't the case"
- "Darn"
- >"We have an update for you though. The cellphone number belongs to a female called Vignette Valencia. She is the director of public media in the park. She replaced her own phone a week ago"
- >This can place her in the incident area, and this could be her own phone
- "Thanks for the information"
- >"Mr. Klatch, I'm sorry to meddling, but where is Ace? Agents shouldn't be left alone"
- "Oh! You know him, I'm the one who makes the job while he whoos the females and play the games"
- >"Tipical of Ace. Just remember: if you ever are in danger, is better to have somebody watching your back"
- "Yeah, I'll keep it in mind"
- >"Wait, do you have a bruise?"
- >Oh no!
- "WellIgottagobye!"
- >You cut the transmittion right there
- >You go to the parade area, the main spectacle at sunset
- >But there are a few hours before it happens. Now the team is working on the parade cars and the actors
- >No Ace though. He isn't sight-seeing
- >Understandable. He isn't interested in this stuff unless he gets laid with a woman or play a silly game for a silly prize or eat snacks. Probably he did all three at the same time once
- >Anyway, you find the flamboyant person with the white dress
- "Uhh... Hello?"
- >The person turns around violently
- >"Who dares to speak with Phzio Deliac?!"
- >Her voice shows her gender: a female performer
- "Eh, Hi, I'm Coffee Klatch, and-"
- >The woman grabs a picture from her clothes, signs it, and gives it to you
- >"Pleased to meet fans. Hope to see you again"
- >After she gave you the pic, she turns around and minds her business
- "Hey! I didn't finish!"
- >the girl moves at your side, takes a photo, and gives it to you
- >"Tell it to your friends. Great times buddy-o"
- >She turns back again
- "HEY!"
- >She turns angry at you
- >"Can't you see I'm busy?"
- >You show your badge
- "Not for the law! I'm agent Coffee Klatch and I need to make you some questions"
- >She thinks quietly for a while
- "Well?"
- >"Five questions. After that you leave me alone"
- >You take your trusty notepad
- >You find the sketch of Vignette
- "Do you reconigze this woman?"
- >"Vignette Valencia. Director of Public Relationships. I work for her"
- "..."
- >"..."
- >Whoa, that was short
- "Eh... Could you be more specific?"
- >"I already told you all I know"
- >Better to take it from another angle
- "I meant your relation with her"
- >"Strictly proffesional. She hired me, I dazzle the audience, we both get paid. We don't speak or meet beyond that"
- >Well, at least she gets to the point
- "Have you been in any unusual event?"
- >"No"
- "..."
- >"..."
- >Dude, this girl is like a rock
- "Are you sure about that?"
- >"Yes"
- >You show some video footage
- "This woman has been dissapearing people a week ago, and you didn't notice it?"
- >"I heard about that, but that day I wasn't performing, so I didn't payed attention"
- "What do you do in the park?"
- >"Are you deaf? I'm the performer! The magnific Phzio Deliac!"
- >Wow, she was really offended by that
- "I didn't mean anything negative. I meant your performance"
- >"Well, if you say so. I dance with some friends on top of the main car. I dazzle them with my risky moves, and I leave them atonished at the end when me and the mascot of the aquatic sector play the legend of the sirens"
- "Could you tell me more about the legend?"
- >"Simple. A long time ago, 3 beasts came from the sea, creating destruction wherever they went. Feeding from negative emotions, their strenght was infinite. But somebody stood against them, and seal their powers in 3 crystals, and the sirens were reduced to 3 female mortals. They could never have their forms back, and the seal made sure that even if the crystals were used, only a small group of people would be affected. The sirens ran away, leaving the village in peace"
- "It's a pretty tale"
- >"The owner of the park loves that tale. That's why he made the park around it. We even have the sirens as mascots"
- >Phzio gives you a promo shot with the mascots. They look like the 3 sighted monsters that came from the open theater months ago
- "Can I keep this picture?"
- >"Sure, I get a lot of those"
- >Well, she is chill, so maybe you can "Ace" it up
- "Why does your head looks like Bram Stoker's Dracula haircut? Do you know it looks like a big butt?"
- >"..."
- Five minutes later
- >Security throws you away from the parade area
- >"And don't you dare comeback until you understand the genius of the magnificent Phzio Deliac!"
- >The exuberant girl then covers herself with her flamboyant cape, and goes back to the parade area
- >Ok, you got it. Bullshit is needed to make hurtful but funny comments. And when you are low on charisma (or just new to the bantz) you need somebody with you
- >Maybe that's why Ace is cool: you are the one who speaks up his bullshit and he shakes it off
- >Whatever, you cross the parade area, and so far it looks like Vignette Valencia is the main suspect
- >Time for a small recap
- >You go to the snacks area and get yourself a cup of coffee with muffins
- >Sitting in one of the tables, you open your notepad and start organizing the evidence
- - Main suspect: Vignette Valencia, female, around her 20s
- - Evidence: broken cellphone, video tape, Stanley's testimony, Phzio's testimony, files from the park
- >Well, so far so good, maybe it's time to talk with Vignette
- >"So, ditzy eyes, when's your shift over?"
- >"Well, I... I..."
- >"Take your time. I can keep looking that cute little eye of yours"
- >You know that voice
- >"Tell you what. I like womans who can keep her view beyond my penis"
- "Really smooth Ace"
- >"Hey! Coffee! Finally having fun?"
- "No, I needed to regroup. What were you doing?"
- >"You know, the usual. I fucked two girls, I gave a little kid a new balloon because hers flew away, I rode in the rollercoaster, and I won a prize!"
- >He gives you a plush of a dog in a detective suit
- >"Look how cute it is"
- "Well, while you were having fun, I was doing OUR job"
- >"Yeah, good for you"
- >He is walking away, so you follow and walk next to him
- "Ace, this is serious. I found the item we came looking for"
- >"Good, we have evidence"
- "But I got hit for it"
- >"You are alive. Take the day off"
- "I don't have too much leads. I don't know where is the suspect"
- >"You'll find out. Call me when you do and I'll take care of the rest"
- >At least you know how to get his attention
- "The suspect is a female in her 20s"
- >"Now I'm listening"
- >You show him the sketch
- "Her name is Vignette Valencia. She is the one in charge of public relations, and some of the employment. I don't know where she is"
- >Ace takes his phone and takes a photo of the sketch
- >"Wait here"
- >He goes away for a few minutes, then he comes back
- >He shows you a scribbled piece of paper
- >"We can find her in her office in the parade area, or in the dress up and cosmetics depo"
- "How did you got it?"
- >He unravels more of the paper, it has a phone number. The title is Ditzy Eyes
- "Damn it Ace"
- >"She really has a cute ditzy eye"
- "Argh, don't tell me anything about it."
- >You could go to the parade area, but you made Phzio mad. There could be problems
- "Let's go to the props place. We need disguises"
- >"It's not Halloween Coffee"
- "You know why we need them. Now let's go"
- >Now together, Ace and you go to the props place. The people in there is running from left to right and back
- >They don't mind your presence so much, they are mainly annoyed for you two to be there. Like if you were extra poles to evade
- >Whatever, a while later you two find the costume room
- >You grab the picture Phzio gave you before
- "Ok, we need to look like these guys"
- >There are cowboys for the Appleloosa's inn, the excursionists of the Temple of Daring Do, and the sirens and pirates from the Sea Road
- >"Let's go with cowBOIs"
- "I should have seen that one coming"
- >You grab the cowboy suits
- >While you choose a big mexican hat and poncho to disguise as much as possible, Ace went with the classic sleeveless leather jacket, blue jeans and boots. He is wearing a cow printed hat
- "Ace, that doesn't hide much"
- >He takes out a toothpick and puts it in his mouth
- >"Now listen here partner, this town is too small for the both of us"
- >You laught sarcastically
- "Ha-ha-ha, come on Ace, we need to keep going"
- >Both leave the room, but suddenly an alarm goes off
- >>"Time for rehearsal! Time for rehearsal!"
- >The assistants push both of you to a small scenario
- >>"Now! Time for the show!"
- "Uhh... Sorry, there was a misunderstanding"
- >>"No time!"
- >The girl walks up to Ace and you, and gives you two toy revolvers and shotgun respectively
- >She is Vignette!
- "Miss Valencia, we need to-"
- >>"Opopop: showtime, now. Talk, later"
- >The lights go to Ace and you
- >"Are we suppose to fight?"
- >>"No! Do some juggling with the toys. You two are supposed to be proffesional jugglers, right?"
- "Ehhh..."
- >Ace just shrugs his shoulders, and makes signs to you
- >Now both are looking at each other
- >"Let's just give them a show. We will speak with her later"
- "Deal"
- >Both point at each other
- >"Now!"
- >Both synchronize and throw the guns at each other
- >Ace spins and throws away the shotgun like a mere stunt stick
- >As for you, you spin the pistols putting Ocelot to shame
- >After a while, both run at each other and exchange weapons
- >You move the shotgun like the best trained soldier than you are
- >As for Ace, he throws and spins the guns like if they were silly looking balls
- >Finally, you put the shotgun at your side, and Ace puts his guns in the holdsters
- >Ace moves his fingers, and you pat your gun a few times
- "Draw!"
- >"Draw!"
- >Using one arm, you point and shot your shotgun. It "fires" a cork
- >Ace draws one of the revolvers, and shots another cork
- >He tilts his head to the right, evading the cork. His shot hits you in the chest
- "Ay caramba!"
- >You "fall" defeated
- >Ace spins his revolver, blows away the "smoke", and puts it back in the holdster
- >"Show's over partner"
- >The assistants applaud amazed as Ace helps you back on your feet
- >Vignette walks up to both of you
- >>"OMG, you guys have to tell me where you from *spin to assistants* Did somebody filmed that? I need to post this on my SG *spin back to you* Guys, stay with me. I'll make sure to make you both famous *takes out phone* selfie!"
- >Ace covers the lent
- >>"Hey! What's wrong with you?"
- >Both show your badges
- "Miss Valencia, I'm agent Klatch and he is agent Thruster. We came here to make you some questions about some incidents that happened a week ago"
- >She is shocked
- >>"Events? Nothing happened last week"
- >"Don't lie, tweet chick. Either you cooperate or we take you in"
- >Ace takes out his phone
- >"I wonder what your fans would say if you go to jail"
- >She recovers her posture, breaths deeply, and looks at both of you
- >>"Alright, I'll help. But not here. Leave the costumes and show this to the guards at the parade area"
- >She gives you two special passes
- >>"I'll be in my office whenever you are ready"
- >She walks away, gives some orders to her assistants, and leave the props depo
- "Well, you heard the "boss". Let's ditch these suits"
- >"Aww, I was just getting a feel to it"
- "Maybe later"
- >Both return the disguises at the costume room, and leave the props area
- >Both reach the parade area
- >While you were thrown away a few moments ago, the guards accept the cards, so you are in
- >Phzio was angry at this
- >"Hey, why is that girl having an ass for a head?"
- "Is her magnificent genius"
- >"Then she maybe should speak from her bum. It would have better ideas for a hairdo"
- >Both share a laugh
- >Moments later, you two are in front of Vignette's office
- *knock* *knock* *knock*
- >>"Come in"
- >Ace and you enter the office
- >>"Nice to see you again gentleman"
- "Miss Valencia, do not worry. If you are cooperative with us, maybe we can make an agreement for both parties"
- >Ace just takes a chair and sits down
- >"Take your book out and let's finish this"
- >You sit down as well, and debate your notes
- - A week ago, a magic reading came from this place. The ground zero was this place: the parade area.
- - The report said a person was using a phone to "dissapear" people into a white void room. It turned out it was a deposit room that was modified to give the belief of being a white void
- - So far, our investigations have been pointing at you using equestrian magic willingly
- >You close your notepad
- >>"And what is the problem with that?"
- >Ace and you look at each other from the corner of the eyes, and look at Vignette again
- >"We are the ones who makes the questions. Don't forget that"
- >>"Fine. Tell me your questions then"
- AT: Why do kids love the taste of cinnamon crunch?
- >You turn to Ace shocked at the stupid question
- VV: Wha-
- >Ace slams his hands on the table
- AT: Don't play with me girl, answer the question!
- VV: I... I don't know?
- >Ace pushes her harder
- AT: Well?!
- VV: I seriously don't know! It's just a cereal. Kids like cereal
- CK: Where are you going with this Ace?
- AT: Nowhere. I just like to mock my suspects
- >Vignette and you look at Ace annoyed
- AT: Hey, either we do this interrogation my way, or we don't do it
- CK: Fine. Just avoid unnecesary questions
- CK: Where did you adquire your phone?
- VV: I bought it last week
- >You show the broken phone
- CK: I meant this one
- VV: I don't know. That isn't my phone
- >You show the phone number HQ gave you
- CK: Do you see this?
- VV: A phone number?
- >You dial it
- >The cellphone of Vignette starts to sound
- VV: What?
- CK: Funny, the number I'm calling is yours
- AT: Want to know something more funny? Our bosses said this number was the same from the broken phone
- VV: Argh, fine. It was my old phone
- AT: Well sweetheart, we got something else
- CK: This phone has traces of magic. You happen to know how it got it?
- VV: No...
- >Ace takes a more intimidating stand
- AT: Stop lying
- VV: I really don't know! I just kept using it as always. Phone service doesn't call saying "Hey, would you like magic with your service for an extra fee?"
- >Well, at least you confirmed this was her phone, putting her in the place. If you get a confession on how she used it, maybe you can close this case now
- >Ace stands up, and handcuffs Vignette
- VV: Wait!
- AT: Vignette Valencia, you are under arrest for possesion and willing use of dangerous equestrian magic
- CK: Ace, hold on! We don't have her confession yet!
- >Ace shows her the video tape
- AT: As we know, the phone is a magical item that can teleport people in a predeterminated room. And she knew how to use it, she was pointing at a lot of people, and if she would have pressed that button...
- >You know that would have ended really grim
- AT: We can keep you inside for attempted murder. I wonder how popular you will be in 20 years
- VV: No! I can't go to prison! Let me go and I will help you!
- AT: Help, huh?
- >Ace drops a file on the table
- AT: I want to know your connections with these girls
- CK: the H7 file?! That's classified! You can't show it to civilians!
- AT: She was stopped by these girls, and they always appear close to cursed items or magic events. I'm sure she knows at least one of them
- >He bends her over the table
- AT: Now, who?!
- VV: I don't know! Please let me go!
- CK: Enough!
- >Ace and Vignette look at you
- CK: Vignette, you are lying. You are in charge of the employment of some people here, including assistants
- >You show the employee's files
- CK: I bet I can find one of the six girls in here. And since you have been lying during all the interrogation, we have to take you in
- VV: No! Please, the white one is Rarity! She was the one who broke my phone! I didn't want to do anything bad, the phone's magic could create and modify whatever I wanted! Even create copies for a little time! I just wanted everything to do it my way!
- >Ace rises his recorder
- AT: Got it
- CK: Well, looks like we are done here
- >Ace uncuffs the girl, and puts on his glasses
- VV: Please, I'm sorry. I don't want to be remembered as a criminal
- CK: Lucky you, you won't even remember us
- >Ace walks behind you, and you take a memory stone. A few moments later, she forgets everything
- CK: Alright miss Valencia, thanks for your help. Now, we never saw each other, this didn't happened, and whatever you remember from this are illusions
- AT: Couldn't you do something better?
- >a few moments later, you speak again
- CK: And next time my friend Stanley gives you a caramel apple or whatever you order, accept it. He is 73, be more kind with him
- >Ace and you leave the office
- >After a day of adventures, our team finally completes the case without problems
- CK: Next time I'm picking the car
- AT: You are just mad I get to drive for this mission
- >Klatch presses a button in his watch. As both men leave the park, more people in black suits are entering
- CK: Maybe. Still, you should give me the H7 file
- AT: Hey, I wanted that case after they told me a sexy demon girl was reported. Let alone how I fought when they told me a purple sexy chick and a hot angel were battling in Ground Zero
- CK: I didn't mean it like that. I said that because if cleanup sees you with it, Mr Smile will be pissed off. Besides, I have to update it. The girls were here
- AT: I should have come faster
- CK: You were the one who wanted this car
- >Both men get in the Pontiac Firebird, and buckle their seatbelts
- AT: They didn't told me there was chicks. They told me I had to come for a thing. And we got it. So, mission accomplished
- CK: True
- >As the car starts, the Pontiac goes straight to the road, guiding our team to a new story
- Epilogue
- >An old man returns home from a tiring day at his job, only to find a strange envelope on his table
- >Inside, there was a letter, a few hundreds of dollars, and the first issue of Superman
- "It took me a while, but my employeers were really happy. Thanks for helping me. Tony"
- >"Excelsior! Meg! Look at this!"
- >The cheerful old man was glad his friend still remembered him
- AT: You were always a softie
- CK: Maybe. He helped us a lot after all
