"Oh, yea. Why would you use an ordinary revolver in this day? Any overly-strong magnet would easily pull it away."
(I'm laughing as well Dreamer. It actually is quite funny.) "I don't always use the custom revolver i have called "Ambassador", it's something special i use to execute pony's like you. It shoots shotgun shells, so don't bother moving. This can take a pony's head straight off." Octavian said, she turned around to the guards behind her. "Plus this isn't magnetic, it's made of a magnetic resistant metal. So, dont get any ideas." "Take them out and put them in the van. Secure them first, and do another check for anything valuable or can be used as a weapons, even if it's a sharpened toothbrush that can be used as a knife." she ordered. "Now, i have rules for you. You resist, you will die. You escape, you will be hunted down and then killed by our snipers. You hide anything valuable such as stolen goods, they will be returned." Octavian said. "Do i make myself clear?"
"Hmmm... hunted down? How long did it take you to find us the first time? Of course I could not leave my friends here, even though I could escape all your forces without even trying." Avarice smirks at Octavian, teasing any sense of curiosity inside the commander's mind.
"If you want to run then fine. I'll give you a five second head start before we drop you like a stone." Octavian said sarcastically. "Nice try, but that wont work on me"
"Well... Now I'm interested in how you'd try and catch me. Sorry Domri, love. I promise I'll break you out once I find the treasure. I'm sure it's a weapon given what the file says... actually... too easy. Breaking out and then hunting the treasure. That's an adventure waiting to happen." Avarice sits down and smiles up at Octavian. "Don't lie. An ancient lost treasure of some of the best thieves in history. You have to be a bit interested..."
Octavian smiled slightly. "Oh, i know it. I was considering sending a force to intercept those interested but thought that the people interested in sending a blockade wasnt worth the amount of time. We had better things to do, such as catching you. Before i decided to hunt and find you, it took the regular departments over a decade. I found you within hours and pinpointed your location to all High Equestrian officers in my command." "I must admit, you are quite organized. Others who had followed in your footsteps have found themselves caught within minutes while they tried to follow your actions. You guys are different, and i respect that. Unfortunately, i wish we can be on the same team. It looks like the good guys win again."
"And what did we do that made us the bad guys exactly? Stole money from the rich that let it sit and collect dust and reinserted it into the economy? Stole overpriced products and donated them to those that could never hope to afford it? Maybe we stole a couple things unnecessary, like this." Avarice points to the necklace sparkling around her neck. "But c'mon, he did it to try and be romantic. You have to forgive that." Avarice took a few slight steps towards Octavian. "And let's be honest, with your skills, you could probably overthrow the entire corrupt system and remodel it into the right thing. If you must kill me, then by all means, but at least think about what I've said before you go and pull that trigger." Avarice's gentle smile turned to a frown before she spun in place and walked to one wall. "And thank you for your compliments. I'll be sure to tell our teachers in the afterlife that they taught us well."
[PLOT TWIST INCOMING!] “The system....” Octavian said, thinking about Avarice’s words. She smiled at him and put her revolver away. “I despise corruption and I see that you fight with words. But you have just saved your friends lives by the way.” She then ordered her men to walk into the building and remove their masks and holster their weapons. While they were all different races and had different colours and appreances, they all had one thing in simular, they had a strange tattoo on their necks. Octavians was engraved on her neck by Celestia, who had carved the symbol using a knife through torture which the rest of the group adopted. “Ever since the Assassination of Princess Luna, Celestia has turned into something else. She had cracked down virtually anything that poses a threat to her rule. She has changed from a benevolent ruler to a tyrant in every sense of the word. I wanted to change the world by making it safer, not by making it worse. That’s why the H.E.P.D was formed, the best hoof picked enforcement group in the country. We are actually not who we say we are, we are actually a revolutionary group who are pretending to be police officers. The creation of the H.E.P.D was simple, we have somepony who got the creation of the group approved by Celestia herself. She does not know that she had signed her own death warrant. My parents were personally executed by her, and she made me watch. My loyal followers have suffered similar stories like me and have decided enough is enough. We have been killing the system from the inside until we can rally enough people to finish the job." “We have found you. We never actually came to kill you, we just had to persuade the princess that it was the real thing. If she believed that you had died, she will stop looking for you. We need the country to be reborn from the ashes, and hence, The Phoenix was an appropriate name for you. We came today to ask you an important offer which would change the future of this nation. Do you want to change the world by joining our cause?"
Avarice lets out a giant sigh. "Oh my Luna, I was afraid that wouldn't work..." Avarice collapses without moving from her location. "I'll help you... Just give me a minute." Avarice falls unconscious.
"...SO YOU BROKE MY LEG?!?!" Domri screamed, outraged. "You better give me back you shanking knife you... you... ARGHH! STUPID LANGUAGE!! STUPID PONIES!!" He began to curse and scream in changeling.
"Oh... Ow... Be quiet cupcake." Avarice stood up and a quick flash of yellow magic hit Domri. "There, does that... That feel any better?"
"P-P-Perfect. Hurts a little, th-though. Thanks, Ava." Domri muttered. "I think I'm alright. Thanks."
