"Where is he?" One officer would ask.

"Didn't he say something about being late?" Says another. "I could have sworn he did."

"Note didn't say anything about that." A third still speaks to his compatriots.

The downtown Canterlot office was packed with about ten of Shortfuse's appointed officers, each equally confused as to what they were supposed to be meeting here for. They each had received a signed note instructing them to be here for a meeting of some importance, but none of them knew what for. So they all sat and waited patiently. Or impatiently, depending on the officer.

Archon stood on a nearby building watching the meeting unfurl. It was rather sloppy but Archon found out that the few of shortfuses officers were meeting in this office.

It wasn't like shortfuse to be so careless or so obvious, it made Archon worried. He knew this was a trap but at the same time it was too tempting a target.

Archon readied his bow and created a magical arrow and aimed it at the officers patiently.

As Archon would watch, one of the officers would close the blinds, effectively cutting off any visuals the vigilante had. Though, if he paid attention, he might see a particularly fancifully dressed Pegasus enter the building from below, that appeared to be Shortfuse himself. What he was doing in this part of town was anyone's guess, perhaps he wanted to meet in a place he knew he wouldn't be disturbed. Or perhaps this was indeed a trap, and he wanted to be there to spring it himself.

Archon didn't need to see to shoot his bow. He quickly modified the arrow with magic and loosed it. The arrow flew true and shot through the blinds, impaling itself into the floor. It exploded a second later in a fiery boom.

Archon moved quickly. Now that some of the officers were wounded and the building on fire, they would have to evacuate. He'd wait on another nearby building for their departure.

The building did evacuate, and the officers along with the rest of the patrons, though they did not split up, they all stayed together and ran(though some of them limped) down the same alley, darting into a small warehouse for safety.

That was odd. None of that was protocol. Archon followed the group into the ware house, tailing the group while invisible, his bow disgarded and hidden nearby.

He cast a spell on himself making himself invisible and stepped into the warehouse with the fleeing ponies. Looking around the warehouse wordlessly and standing a healthy distance away from the group.

"Shit! What the hell?! Was that the black knight?!" One would cry.

"Good call keeping us all together. We'll be able to take on anyone with our numbers. No damn crazy in a black costume's gonna get all of us." Another would say. They bunched together, swords drawn and ready for conflict.

Archon used magic to throw his voice and increase its volume.

"Each of you has failed this country. You're bringing Equestria to its knees not saving nor protecting it. Each of you are evil, selfish and destructive. You've all been marked to death... And with your passing and the Princesses reinstatement this country will be whole again." He said, if only to unnerve them.

"This country doesn't need to be whole." A familiar voice would sound against Archon's own. "It needs to be reformed."

The officers huddled together would appear equal parts terrified and confused.

"Alpha." Archon said with grit. "You're goal is not reformation but rather destruction. You would have the balance of power toppled, Equestria destroyed and its citizens killed or worse. Even if you wanted to reform Equestria the one holding your leash does not. They want the utter annihilation of harmony." He said pacing silently some.

"Clear out Lackeys" He'd command of Shortfuses officers. "Show yourself Alpha, Lets talk face to face."

The officers would head for the nearest exit, not knowing and not caring whether or not it was a trap. They just wanted to get out of there.

Alpha would reveal himself, only he would step out into the darkness behind Archon, wearing his own set of armor and a peculiar set of goggles. "Invisibility? Surely a tough guy like you doesn't need anything like that." He says, looking at Archon directly.

Archon would turn around calmly, dropping his invisibility spell. "I'm an assassin. Stealth is kind of the game." He'd retort staring at Alpha.

"The first time we met I didn't give you a chance to speak. However, if memory serves you love to talk."

"Yes, I do." Alpha states as several figures emerge from the shadows. "Unfortunately for you, I didn't come here to talk. I came to kill you." He says, claws shooting out from their compartments on his hooves. "If you'd like to chat, we can do that in tartarus.

Archon... started to laugh. A very amused albeit monotone laugh.

"You're even a bigger fool than I thought." he said his horn starting to glow and ten pieces of shiny steel appeared and made a ring about him. They came together, formed a sword and ignited into a bright golden fire.

"How can you kill what is already dead?" he asked, moving into a bladecaster stance. "Brightroar." he said and the sword responded, the flame growing in intensity for a moment.

"I'm not intimidated by your little light shows, knight." Alpha says, getting into a stance. "I'll do this as much as I have to, but only one of us will rise from the grave again." He says, the forms in the shadows illuminated by Archon's sword, showing them to be the husks that Alpha had acquired before. Only they seemed to be different, their movements were let's sluggish and more jittery than the last time Archon had faced them, and their armor seemed to decay and corrode actively, reforming only to corrode away and reform again.
