~Colorful Act~

Where the Chapter lives and begins

<--------------------------------

Corvus: Be-Berryll *surprised*

Berryll:...

Presenter: Now Loki. KILL THE PRINCE!

Oni: So that's your name

Berryll: Ehhh? *surprised*

Corvus: You again?

Oni: *smile* Hi prince. Hi Luna. Hi Stella

Presenter: But how...?

Oni: *smiling at the Presenter*

Presenter: Pfffttt... Kill this meddling colt.

Oni: Meow (= ^w^ = )

At the view of all, Oni wasn't making big movements to dodge each one of the attempts to attack him. The most impressive thing of that was that he didn't loose his innocent smile of cat and kept his eyes closed.

No one knew if he really was doing so or he was just playing.

Presenter: Your interference will cost dear to the Nocturnal Family. KILL THEM ALL!!

Corvus: NOOOO!!!

Oni: *smiling*

Presenter: But what...? What are you doing? I SAID...

Oni: *smiling* They can't move their arms

Corvus: Ehhhh?

Oni: It's what I call ''Magic Touch''. And it doesn't have anything to do with magic

Corvus: Who taught you that? Was it Sherem?

Oni: Nope. I figured it out by myself.

Berryll: But when...?

Oni: Hehe

Corvus: What is so funny?

Oni: It's the first time I hear a Changeling talking with HIS real voice

Corvus: A Changeling?

Oni: You showed us your real voice. Why don't you show your real you?

Berryll: So... you discovered it.

Oni: *Smile*

Corvus: What are you talking about?

Oni: Berryll was never here. She never arrived to Canterlot, didn't she? *looking at her*

Berryll: He's right, Prince *smile*

Oni: Hey, you smiled. But I already saw that smile. Can I see your real smile?

Berryll: If you ask that way

Corvus: What does that even mean?

Oni: *smiling* Show him

A light ring ran through Berryll's body until the pink became black.
Showing HIS true body

Corvus: You ARE a Changeling?

Loki: Uhhmmm... yes? He's kind of slow *talking to Oni*

Oni: I know, but It's our *imitating a royal voice* Prince of Night

Corvus & Presenter: *Annoyed* STOP TALKING YOU TWO!

Luna: Well done, Oni!

Stella: I knew you'd come to save me *tone of schoolgirl in love*

Corvus and Luna: *looking at her in a weird way*

Stella: I mean... thank you for save us *normal tone*

Presenter: Hey hey hey! This is not over yet. I still have all the theater... WHAT HAPPENED...

Oni: ...with your bandits? Apparently they can't move too *smile* And if I were you, I'd get out of here as soon as possible. For some reason all the guards of the kingdom found out that all the Nocturnal Royal Family were in danger. And I guarantee you they won't be happy if they discover that they were at the mercy of a masked guy and his bandits... who now look like stone. By the way that's a nice mask, I would like one. Where did you get it?

The Presenter remained silent until...

Presenter: Pssstt hahahaha...

Oni: But fortunately I am not you, so...

The Presenter made a singular and very high whistle.

Oni: Uuuhhhh And I couldn't know your name

Suddenly more bandits jumped from rooftops and windows creating a big smokescreen in the place

Oni knew what they were going to do so he didn't worry that someone innocent got hurt. In the hall, confusion and chaos was reigning among the crowd who wouldn't find themselves cornered long time

Presenter: Withdraw!

OniBlack noticed that the Prince's eyes changed and were similar to his. He perceived that he would not have to worry about the security of the Nocturnal Royal Family for the rest of the day.

Oni: OK *smile* Where is my candy?

Helped by his demon senses he succeeded finding it in a corner next to the window. 

Oni: Hey, you didn't show me your smile yet

Loki: You came to catch me? Who are you? Are you part of a special Royal Guard or something like that?

Oni: I told you before, I'm just a simple courier of library *smile*

Loki: What does that even mean? What you want?

Oni: You see, I'm curious.

Loki: I don't know how they managed to outwit the force field to enter the city. They do not consider me important enough to let me know these things, they don't even consider me important. The only thing I know is that I was the first they made enter.

Oni: Actually I was about to ask you how you can survive being the only Changeling here

Loki: Oh...

In that moment one of the bandits, who appeared to be a Pegasus, came out of the smoke and took Loki in the air by the window. And it is during that time until Loki disappears where Oni look in his eyes and achieves to notice his '' I'm sorry '' in them.

Oni: Don't forget your promise

When the smoke vanished all the criminals, including the paralyzed ones, were gone. The royal guard entered with the Prince Corvus ahead unlocking the entries and releasing all of the hall. Fortunately, there was no report of any injured, only the bodies of many guards were found

When the guards managed to evacuate the crowd only the prince and the demon were left, who kept looking out the window where they took Loki

Demon: I never saw snow fall... in the dusk.

The Prince turned around to leave but he said before

Prince: You are from PonyVille, aren't you?
