Emerald Nimbus always disliked traversing Canterlot's lower sections. Sure, it was mostly safe. But not where she normally walked through. The alleyways were not as well lit, and regardless of how safe upper parts of the city were, seedy ponies still committed their sins where the sun couldn't catch them. As Emerald walked through one mostly bare street in the late evening, she almost wished she had stayed with her parents for a year longer. She shook her head right after the thought came in. No, she didn't need them! She'd lasted for five years on her own! She knew how to defend herself, and had gotten enough of a name for herself to not get attacked unprovoked by those who knew of her. Unfortunately for her, a few stallions slowly converging on the pegasus did not know, and with their numbers, they'd quickly be able to incapacitate her, regardless of how fast she wiped out her knives. Emerald moved as quickly as she could, now getting the eerie feeling of being followed as a stallion moved in front of her, staring down at her as if she were some extremely lesser species. "Well, what's a pretty little mare doing out here all alone?" He said, giving a sneer. Emerald stopped, looking up at him nervously. She didn't say a word, but she quickly tensed up. "Now I see summa those blades on you." The stallion continued speaking, the sound of several sets of hooves getting close to Emerald's back. "Especially the ones in your cutie mark. Don't you be trying anything on me. Real nice ass, by the way." "Sh-sh-shut u-up..." Emerald growled. The stallion only chuckled. "You sound scared for a mare with knives on your flanks." He said, slowly leaning in. "Maybe I could get you to calm down a bit, show you there's nothin' to be scared of." His face was inches away from hers, even as she backed away, she stopped, she could already hear the light chuckling and heavy breathing behind her. "I s-s-said shu-shut up..." Emerald repeated, giving him her best scowl. The stallion just grinned back at her, his nose almost touching hers. "Why don't ya make me? My mouth's right here, begging for a nice, big, wet–" SHINK. Emerald, with a swift move of her right wing, had driven a wingblade directly into the stallion's right foreleg, and he immediately buckled to the floor, giving a loud groan of pain. "I-I was trying to be nice about it!" He snarled through gritted teeth. "Screw that! Guys, grab her!" Emerald immediately took off, leaping up and over the Stallion's body, him uselessly biting at her tail. The other stallions quickly followed after her, the loud rumbling of hooves echoing through the alleyways. Fly, dammit, Fly! Get the hay out of here! She shouted at herself, flying as frantically as she could away from the scene. She was not a fast flier, unfortunately, and quickly enough, one of the pegasi of the group bit her tail and threw her down to the cold cobblestone. Emerald slowly staggered to her feet, only to be knocked down by a swinging hoof, and suddenly she was surrounded by four, five, or six stallions. She couldn't tell. "H-e-he-help!" She shouted out as they continued hitting her, trying to incapacitate her as quickly as possible. "H-HELP! HELP M-ME!" She managed to get out. |

Dartbreak had been walking down the street, taking a day to relax before reporting to his next client. He had received a letter from a rather annoyed mailpony, who had apparently been travelling for over a week to find him. Dartbreak heard a bunch of noise coming from around a corner, the sound of a scuffle, and a shout of pain. By the time he arrived, however, there was only one pony, a stallion, with an injury caused by what looked like a wingblade. Dartbreak smiled in the depths of his hood, his face hidden by the perpetual shadows as he stepped up and stood over the stallion. "Who did this?" The stallion growled. "I started flirting with some mare, and she stabbed me! Ya gotta- OW!!!" Dartbreak leaned in to peer into his face, his eyes glowing an icy blue as he pressed on the wound. "Why don't you tell me what really happened?" he asked. "Or I'll show you why they call me 'The Shadow of Fear'." The stallion spilled everything, and Dartbreak took off in the direction he indicated, arriving just as they started pounding on Emerald. He frowned, calling out. "You know, that's not any way to treat a mare. Why don't you colts step off and let a real stallion show you how it's done?" |

The stallions quickly turned to look at Dartbreak, and Emerald curled up in the middle of them, whimpering quietly. One of the group swatted her right cheek, causing her to yelp, before they all took a few steps back. "This bitch just stabbed our friend!" One of them protested. "We were givin' her what for, is all. She's got knives all over!" Each of them nodded assent, looking from Emerald Nimbus to Dartbreak. Emerald herself hardly reacted to any of them, curled up into a ball and shivering, holding several bruises on her body. She did, however, find the voice of her savior eerily familiar. |

Dartbreak hopped off the building, landing softly and padding over to Emerald. Seeing her condition, his eyes gazed down on her bruises coldly, narrowing as he saw how many covered her. "Somepony tell me, how many points are there on the Equestrian body that can instantly kill or permanently cripple one?" he suddenly asked. |

The group of stallions looked at one another, their angry expressions starting to fall to nervous ones. "Um... seventeen?" One hazarded a guess, before shrinking back amongst the others. |

Dartbreak vanished, reappearing with a hoof outstretched and jammed into the side of his neck. "Incorrect. Somepony else try while he tries to recover enough to scream. And do hurry; he's not breathing." |

The stallion Dartbreak hit buckled to the floor, his face in an expression of an agonized scream, but not sound coming out. He tries to grip at his neck, as if being strangled by some unseen force, but all he can do is writhe around. The other stallions now looked fearfully from the stallion to Dartbreak, and another one spoke up. "...U-uhm... f-five hundred?" They all looked at him in question. "W-well... over five hundred...?" Emerald still lay on the ground, sobbing and holding her body in pain, but she swore she knew that voice from somewhere... |

Dartbreak vanished and reappeared again, this time with his hoof jamming a pressure point on the stallion's side. "Closer, but wrong again. Enjoy your agony." he said, pulling his hoof away. Looking over the remaining stallions, he grinned as he watched their terrified gazes. "There are 5,271. I have learned the locations of all of them. I know how to most effectively trigger them..." Dartbreak's eyes narrowed maliciously. "And I have used every last one." |

The Stallion yelped as his body seized up, and he fell to the ground, his body completely locked up so that it couldn't move. At this point, the other stallions watched him with terror, a few of the staggering backwards to try and run away. The rest tried to walk away with as much dignity as possible, while a few could be heard screaming as they turned tail and fled. Emerald still cried, though uncurling herself and looking up to see that she was alone with the other pony, her crying died down a bit. She looked at Dartbreak blindly, the tears in her eyes preventing from seeing clearly even as she tried blinking them out. "P-p-puh-please d-d-d-o-don't huh-huh-hurt m-me..." |

Dartbreak walked over after releasing both of the stallions, offering her a hoof. "Come. Let me escort you to your parents." |

Emerald's crying had calmed a bit, but taking his hoof and standing up, she stared at him confusedly. "Whu-what? M-m-my p-parents? Wh-wh-who a-... a-are you? H-huh-how d-d-d-duh-do y-you kn-know m-my p-p-par-parents?" She asked, looking at him with distrust. |

"I was hired by your parents to protect you, Emerald Nimbus. I can't say more unless under their roof." |

Emerald looked at him warily, nodding, but keeping her eyes on him. "F-fuh-fuh-fine... t-t-tuh-take m-me there... b-bu-but do-don't tr-tr-tr-try a-an-anything..." |

Dartbreak chuckled, starting to lead her to her parents' house. |

Emerald followed him closely, limping a bit from the previous barrage of blows she received from the band of ponies. Quickly enough, they came upon her parent's house, and the door opened immediately. "Emerald!" A female pegasus cried out, significantly older than the both of them, as she flew out of the door and took Emerald Nimbus in a tight hug. "Mmph... h-huh-hi m-mo-mom..." She said, wincing as her mother touched the bruises all about her body. "Celestia and Luna... look at you! Covered in bruises... how many knives are you wearing?" Her mother said, before turning to Dartbreak. "What the HAY happened? You were given strict instructions not to let a hoof harm her! AND LOOK AT HER! Did you beat her yourself or something?" Emerald sighed. Overprotective when it was unnecessary. Good old mom. |
