The Attack on Mango tour van pulls up to a one story house just outside the suburbs of Ponyville. After three days of driving, Nar, Asuka, Juno, and Cookie are glad to have finally reached their destination. With a big stretch, and a long sigh, Nar surveys his surroundings. (https://youtu.be/WhexSDjwXrM?si=dQy6fJ1gd5JRTKSo) It's a beautiful, sunny day in Ponyville. It's warm, but not too hot, or humid, and a soft breeze blows through the town. There's hardly a cloud in the sky, letting the...

(https://youtu.be/5bO7u_1C6hs?si=NH1PGHAmPsm0CJsH) It's the night before Nar, Asuka, and Juno move back to their hometown. After a lively goodbye party with all their friends at Stinkin' Steve's, the three, along with Cookie, have made their way home to sleep for the night. Once everyone else in the house is asleep, Nar quietly slips out on his own. He has one last goodbye to say before he leaves the city. After a night skate through the city, Nar arrives at his destination. A lone Astral Hig...

A businessman paces the lobby of his workplace while an office assistant watches from behind the front desk. A small package sits atop the front desk with the word 'PRIORITY' stamped atop it. "The courier will be here soon, sir." The office assistant speaks up. His bosses pacing is really starting to get on his nerves. The businessman wheels around on his heels. "Good! He'd better be as quick as you say the app said he is! We need that package delivered by 1 PM! If it isn't the higher ups are go...

(https://youtu.be/vnbsHl4fswk?si=CATEzGKHRdq_ckvp) It's been a long, hot day of making deliveries for Nar. With the sun setting over the horizon, it takes it's heat with it, and a cool breeze blows through the streets of Vanhoover. Nar is more than a little tired, but the cool air revitalizes him in a way not even the strongest espresso could. Taking a deep breath of the fresh night air, Nar heaves a content sigh as he glides along the streets of the city towards home. Having motors in his sk...

(https://youtu.be/XKd8jZojD5w?si=-yTh9zLNsOk61Rr5) Late in the Vanhoover night, Nar sneaks out of his house. He navigates the streets of the city until he eventually finds his way to a supposedly 'abandoned' warehouse in the city's old industrial district. When he arrives, he finds there are lights on inside, and some sort of scanner set up in front of the entrance. As he passes through, the scanner flashes a green light. He assumes that means he's allowed in. Inside, the warehouse looks far ...

Winston Dreamglow takes one last look out the window of the penthouse on the top of his company's headquarters. In the distance, he can see a helicopter making it's way towards the building. Behind it, dark clouds begin to roll over the city. It looks like he'll get out of here just before a bad storm hits. Perfect! Winston slips on his stylish white jacket, and uses his magic to grab all of his essential items. Phone, wallet, keys, keycard, money, ect. As he exits his penthouse, two guards fall...

Juno's eyes follow his best friend as he paces back and forth in the living room of the band's shared house. He knows things haven't been great for Nar as of late, so he opts not to say anything about how annoying it is. In truth, everyone in the room is worried. Himself, Nar, Ruby, Scrappy, and Deena, but Nar the most of all. He almost looks to be a nervous wreck. Something Juno has never seen from him before. He can't blame the guy though. Not after everything he's been through. All manner of...

12:07 AM, Winston's Arcane Technologies Headquarters, Vanhoover. A security guard sounds off over his radio. Nothing to report on his patrol. After the recent vandalism of multiple of the company's properties, every property of Winston's Arcane Technologies has seen a significant upgrade in security. New cameras everywhere, extra security guards, and even some experimental arcanotech developed by Winston himself. It's been a few days since the vandal last struck, and this guard doubts the...

After their heartfelt crying session last night, Nar, and Aki have decided to have a little 'family day' today. Early this morning, the two took Cookie to get breakfast at Pancake Cabin, and have been doing family activities since then. The three have been having a wonderful time. At the moment, the three walk down the streets of Vanhoover, on their way to the park after a nice lunch at a local deli. Nar walks hand in hand with Aki, with Cookie in front of the two. Her little wings flap with exc...

It's been a while since Nar has been to visit his uncle Steve. Well, Steve isn't actually his uncle, but they have that kind of friendship. After a good month or two since his last visit, Nar has decided that tonight, he's going to go to the bar, and see how Steve is doing. The doors to Stinkin' Steve's are pushed open, revealing it to be fairly packed tonight. There's a Vanhoover Timberwolves game on almost every TV in the bar, which the majority of the patrons appear to be watching. It's q...

(https://youtu.be/TCUdopNuhG4?si=8heB7jr2rHE4-jBg) Muffled voices fill Aki's ears. She sits curled in the corner of her room in her childhood home. A shadow looms over Aki, as a figure stands in the room's doorway, blocking most of the light trying to get in. The voices of her parents trickle in from the other room. She can hear them talking about her. Comparing her to Miki. Degrading her. "I wish Aki would learn to smile like Miki does!" "Miki has so many friends! She's so popular! Aki just si...

The sound of her phone ringing forces Aki to rouse from her slumber. She lets out a groan as she reaches over to check what time it is. 8 AM? That's far too early for anyone to be making a phone call. However, when she checks the number, she vaguely recognizes it. Too tired to recall exactly who the number belongs to, Aki picks up her phone, and places it to her ear, accepting the call. She doesn't even realize that the number isn't an Equestrian number. "Hello?" Aki's voice is groggy, and s...

The smell of cheap Neighpanese takeout fills the tiny living room of a two bedroom apartment. Sat on the couch of the small living room, with food laid out on the coffee table in front of them, Nar sits with his new friend, Aki. A plasma TV sitting atop an entertainment center displays scenes from some sort of shonen anime. After finishing his plate of curry, and rice, Nar leans back into the couch with a contented sigh. Aki doesn't seem to notice, as she's fully invested in the anime they'r...

With the sun reaching it's peak over the sky of Vanhoover, the city was beginning to come alive in full swing. Everybody is winding down from Mandy's party the day before, with many nursing the worst hangover they've ever had. Despite this, the city is still plastered with Attack on Mango merch, and decor. Seems the city's going to milk their cash-cow for as long as possible. As Nar skates through the streets, he looks around at his face plastered all over, alongside those of his friends. On...

Getting stood up on a date, and ghosted by the mare who asked you out in the first place, really stunk. Nar COULD feel sorry for himself... OR, he could- oh hey! A text from his friend, Spins! Meet up for pizza? Hell yes! Nar quickly begins to draft a reply, excited for some pizza with his friend whom he hasn't seen in quite a while. As Nar exits the little park he'd just been in, he stops to complete his reply to Spins. However, he can hear a sounds quickly approaching him from down the stree...

(https://youtu.be/_TePxy7Hc3M?si=-235qI6PPKKdUDSB) Day 10. The last of the evidence has been presented, and closing arguments have been made. Now all that's left, is the verdict. ...

Day 8. After many days of evidence, testimony, and questioning, the trial was reaching it's conclusion. Following testimony from a captain of the Canterlot guard, multiple witnesses, the two guards who responded to the incident, and even the two guards who had been stationed to patrol the streets around the alley the night of the incident, it was time for one last witness. At this rate, Litigious is hoping for a lighter sentence for his client. He doubts their self defense angle has done muc...

Day Three. "The Prosecution calls the Defendant to the stand." Nar rises from his position at the defense table, and is escorted to the stand by the bailiff. As he sits, he is sworn in, and the prosecutor approaches the stand. ...

//in order to not have a storyline about a trial take as long as an actual trial, I will be splitting the witness testimony segments into their own stories. I'll only be addressing the most important testimonies, leaving the ones with less impact on the storyline out. Day 2, Asuka Yakushi. After being called to the stand, Asuka is sworn in, and Litigious Exculpation approaches to begin questioning. (https://youtu.be/RJ5eklOlrQE?si=UrImyqOzj3xHHCFb) ...

7:30 AM, Canterlot Courthouse, Courtroom C, Lobby. (https://youtu.be/3tgDWKlJsSM?si=KzOFV7m1iGNEIToz) Asuka Yakushi and her family sit patiently outside of the courtroom as her mother quietly reminds everyone about courtroom decorum. She's been drilling proper courtroom attire, and how to act inside into everyone's heads for the past few days now. It makes sense. She is an attorney herself, after all. Though, she deals with the civil courts, not the criminal courts. Though, the principals...

Tiny hands push on Nar's arm until he begins to rouse. His eyes begin to open, and his ears pick up a voice, but his brain doesn't quite process the words being said. The bed shakes slightly, and Nar finally turns to see who keeps pushing his arm. There, the excited face of Cookie bounces up, and down, just barely peeking above the bed. "Papa! Santa! Santa!" Instantly, Nar is wide awake. He begins to shuffle out of bed, only for Cookie to take off out of the room. Nar slips his slippers ...

The Voices are all consuming. Fear, Pain, and Suffering surround Nar in a cacophony that tears away at his very being. He can feel the tendrils of the Voices attempting to rip apart his mind, and steal the memories within. He screams, but it only joins the thousands of other screams coming from within the Voices. There is no defense against the Voices once you're in it's clutches. Deep within the parts of Nar's mind, not yet under assault, he knows it's only a matter of time before he becomes li...

//CONTENT WARNING: MENTIONS OF BLOOD, AND DEATH. NOT DESCRIBED IN DETAIL. (https://youtu.be/6JeaK_7Owow?si=_OtQGw88wIqiDzh1) The air is knocked out of Nar's lungs as his abdomen slams into the edge of a large piece of stone. He feels himself begin to slide backwards. His arms reach forward, and grab hold of the other edge of the stone, pulling himself up so his chest, and abdomen can rest atop it. As Nar gasps for air, he takes in his surroundings. He's stuck on a piece that's broken off of on...

Three figures stand before the doors to the throne room of Canterlot Castle. The first is the royal jester, Pulsar, standing in the middle of the two doors. Behind him, Nar, and Amy stand in an embrace. A sinister, powerful, arcane energy radiates from within the throne room. It pulsates in rhythmic fashion, like a beating heart. He is expecting them. He will not allow them to leave of his own accord. They're going to have to fight their way to the exit, and Pulsar is going to help them do it. ...
