Octavian pointed her revolver at Dormi. While none of the others noticed, she managed to find out. It was one of her special talents, she could tell anybody apart and never forgets a face. "Do you want to find out shape shifter?" she said coldly.
"LEAVE HIM ALONE." An echoing voice boomed from Avarice, suddenly standing over Domri with a deep blue aura surrounding her. She didn't move or say anything else, she didn't even blink. She just stared at Octavian angrily.
"You have a choice, surrender and submit to authority or die." Octavian said. She knew reinforcements would arrive soon. If she cannot make them decide, the rest of the H.E.P.D will
Avarice remained silent, as if not aware of the cop speaking to her. She just stared, the aura becoming slowly darker as time passed.
"You will get what you deserve, Life in the Canterlot dungeons with no parole." Octavian said. She then looked at her guards as they raised their guns higher. "You have 10 seconds, what's your choice?"
"Now... Wouldn't being forced to rot in a dungeon be much worse than death?", Inferus asked, scanning them over
"Exactly. You wont die as we will monitor you constantly and give you the usual food and water. But it's better than death, unless you want to accept it." Octavia then looked at her watch. "Five....Four...Three...Two..."
"I'd rather not. I'd rather the floor conveniently collapsed underneath us leading to an ancient cavern. Of course there is NO chance of that happening, is there?" The aura fades and Avarice slumps slightly, seemingly drained of energy suddenly. "W-what... GAH! COPS!" She turns and runs, colliding with a wall face-first, almost comedicly. She stands up and rubs her nose. "ow... What's going on?"
"Your times up. Either speak up now or prepare to become injured, disabled or dead. We have every right given by us from the Princesses to execute our orders as we see fit. And right now, you are going to fit inside a cell or coffin.
"Someone has a- ugh" Avarice grips her head. "Has anger issues... As a citizen of Equestria I have the right to know all accusations against me." Avarice was trying to stall to try and regain her focus and energy to try and use the magic in the necklace again.
"Is that a threat, or are you just trying to back yourself up?" Octavian said. Reinforcements have arrived and were outside the HQ and have secured all exits.
"No, I'm just stating a fact", Inferus says in a very serious, & cold tone of voice, not at all choking or coughing on a single word
Octavian got a small radio transceiver (The fancy name for a walkie-talkie) and spoke into it. "Suspects are not responding to instructions, reinforcements have surrounded the building from virtually all directions. Gave the countdown and still refused orders, suspects could be taken dead or alive but i would rather take them alive. Orders?" Octavian said. After a brief moment, a feminine voice of authority responded. "Sorry that it has to come to this Chrome, Execute order 33. The Phoenix must not escape at all costs." "Understood. Octavian out." she said before putting her radio away. "I gave you a chance to live yet you ignored it. Im sure Equestria would be better without you." she said before she turned around to her guards. "Sic' em." she ordered. And with that, the guards opened fire on The Phoenix with ridiculous firepower which shredded tables and various other items. Octavian's mask then came down on her face as she aimed and fired with her revolver.
