Can online ponies tell you who you are? (Rift Trial: Rion Part 1) 


“Well isn’t it good to be back here once again!” Kamen was giddy with excitement. “You know the drill, find out who was the one who killed Rion and he or she will get a special punishment. But pick the wrong one and I’ll punish everyone else!”


Darkedge growled, “Yeah, we get it! Let's just get through this as fast as possible.”  


Scriptless sighed, having her tail cover her face. “We get it, you don’t need to hammer that in.”


“Regardless, get used to it as we are gonna be in here for a while.” Keyframe responded, not pulling back any punches.


Toon smirked, “Can we get to the case now please?”


Right! “I would like us to start on where he was murdered if that is possible?”


“Smart choice Unova!” MasterCode cheerfully chimed in.


“Oh… that’s easy!” Jae quickly jumped in, “It… was the baseball bat!”


“Wait what!?” Brush’s mouth hung open as her eyes shrunk.


Scriptless nodded, “We found a metal bat just behind the couch in the crime scene.”


“So what are you saying?” Golden asked, her gaze fixed on Scriptless.


Scriptless looked away, staying quiet for a moment.


Let's see what she has to say.


Rift discussion!


  • Bookshelf

  • Metal Baseball Bat

  • Hoof marks

  • Bruise marks


Scriptless: During our investigation…


Scriptless: We found the murder weapon right behind a couch.


AnY: What is a bat doing in there?


Brush Stroke: Rion must of received a lot of beatings from that weapon!


MasterCode: Impossible! Especially when it was shown he was crushed by the bookshelf!


Sapphire: Or maybe that shelf was a cover up on what really kill him.  


Finn: That does make a lot of sense.


Darkedge: It's official!


Darkedge: The metal bat is the true murder weapon!


A bat could be what caused the bruises but something doesn’t quite match up!


YOU GOT THAT WRONG!


“Wait!” I catched Scriptless’ attention.  


“What is it Unova?” Scripless rolled her eyes.


“I don’t think a baseball bat could be the murder weapon here.”


“But… we saw bruise marks on some of Rion’s body!” Jae shouted.


I presented the evidence, “These marks don’t even look like it came from that.”


“Well they kinda do if you think on how the bat is used.” Scriptless offered her possible theory.


“There is one problem with Script,” MasterCode intervene. “The bat looks badly shaped but Rion is not a strong earth pony to be able to bent that by impact.”


Keyframe nodded, “I agree there. Rion is not some strong alloy bench to have it result into that.”


“Which can only mean one thing,” Finn let out a quick sigh.


“I’m sorry to say, but Rion is such a weak tool that I don’t think the bat would of bend that way.” Dark snarkily laugh, acting all snazzy about it.


“Where did the culprit got a bat like that?” Cat Avenger place her hoof on her bottom lip.


“Actually me and MasterCode did find where the metal bat could come from,” I face him. “Isn’t that right?”


He made a wide, cheerful smile, “Well it was your idea to check the closet.”


“Ugh…” Dark shivered, having his spine tingle, “Does anybody find him creepy when he said that?”


Sapphire nodded slowly, “Yep…”


“Never mind that!” Toon build himself up for excitement, “I have reason to believe that the metal bat was nothing more than to distract us.”


Golden sighed a bit, “The culprit could’ve fooled us if it wasn’t for the fact of how badly bent the bat was.”


“So the bookshelf was the murder weapon here,” Brush Stroke glanced around. “Wouldn’t y’all agree?”  


Everyone gave a single nod.


“Now that we got that out of the way, why don’t we figure out the long complicated process of how this murder went, shall we?” Toon tip his hat, making a small smirk.


“I say we start on why Rion had to meet with the killer in the first place?” Keyframe growled a bit, “I feel something is off from just thinking about it.”


“Well how about we ask Brush, then?” Scriptless faced her, giving her a wide eye look, “Anything you like to add?”


Brush stuttered a bit, “Unfortunately, I already told everything that I know within the testimony.”  


“Ugh!” Darkedge launch his hooves up in the air, “What a waste of time!”


Brush’s eyes twitched, “Hey! I am trying to help in the best way i can!” She pointed her hoof at his direction, “So just shut your mouth there, minster!”


“No wait!” I shouted, “Can you at least tell us what Rhino had said before he left your sight?”


She let out a sigh, “Alright. It went a little like this…”


“You’re letting this get to your head!” He shouted to the cloak figure.  


The figure gave no response as he enters the stair case.


Toon let out a quick sigh, “You can be a such a drama queen at times.”


“Ok...I know this is gonna sound weird but…” Sapphire scratched her mane, “It kinda sounds like that Rion was trying help the killer.”


Finn’s eyes widen but such thought, “Could it be that our killer is looking for friendly advice?”


Cat tip her glasses up a bit, “That could be the case.” She turn her head away, letting out a sigh of sadness. “The culprit might of wanted to change…”


“If that were the case, what led the culprit to murder him?” Golden scratch his head, giving a wide eye look.


Sapphire close her eyes, letting out a long withered sigh. “Maybe the culprit didn’t like the answer he gave him.”


Golden looked down on himself, “I wouldn’t be surprised if the killer didn’t like the answer at all.”


Finn put his head down, “Well hearing some criticism is not an easy task.”


AnY growled, “Hearing this sounded so dishonorable.”


“Now the question is who killed him.” MasterCode smiled, having his left pet of his mouth rise.  


His smile was starting to pierce through our skins. All of us don’t know how to respond to it. Well… almost all of us.


Darkedge grined his teeth, slamming his hooves down. “Would you please stop acting like some crazy psycho!?”  


“Dark!” Brush called out his name, widen her eyes in shock.


“Let’s not butt heads about this please!” I really don’t want any of that regardless.


“So… this culprit doesn’t know how to take criticism?” Jae giggle a bit, “That is very petty.”


“But it still doesn’t lead us to who the culprit could be!” Brush let out a long drawn out growl


“Pffft!” MasterCode nodded his head sideway, “I believe that you should check the evidence again.”


Ugh… I don’t know what he is talking about there! I need to think of this a bit.


Rift Discussion!


  • Red eyes

  • Piece of scrunched paper   

  • Holes on Bookshelf

  • Holes on neck


Cat Avenger: I think I know what MasterCode is trying to tell us…


Sapphire: What would that be Cat!?


Cat Avenger: I don’t want to say something pointless…


Goldenfox: Oh come on cat, don’t think that.


Keyframe: MasterCode, I would like you to start explaining what you meant there!


MasterCode: I might as well tell you.


MasterCode: The killer was trying to stay away from specific ponies.


Finn: Did someone do something behind our backs?


Scriptless: There wasn’t anypony suspicious during the investigation that I could remember.


Jae Fox: So…


Jae Fox: MasterCode could be misleading us then…

Darkedge: HA, I KNEW IT!


Something that we are missing…


YOU’VE GOT THAT WRONG!


“Finn!” I quickly grabbed his attention, “I think you’re on to something there.”


He proudly pat himself, “Well I’m glad to be of help there.”


“Finn’s being as helpful as ever,” Sapphire made a smirk.


Darkedge growled. “Well what is it then?”


“Ok. Finn mentions about a possibility of somepony doing something while we weren't paying attention,” I brought out the evidence in plain sight. “Well the holes on Rion’s neck is what I believe could fit into that description.”


“If I could add on this,” MasterCode intervenes. “I believe someone might of put there to either throw us off or it could have been to finish the job.”


Goldenfox gave a wide eye look, “But what could’ve made those?”


“Oh! Oh!” Darkedge quickly jumped, raising his hoof, “It has to be a knife!”


“I’m sorry but…” Cat hesitate, letting out a short sigh before continuing. “Those holes looked way too small to be a knife. In fact no knife could even make those perfect holes.”


Toon raises his lip, look up words. “What if it was some skewer as that seems to be the closest thing that could make those holes right?”


“I believe that would've made more of a mess there,” Golden wasn’t too amuse.


“So we got nothing on the holes then?” Scriptless questions.

Something that could make the holes? I wonder…


S N A K E   B I T E


I FIGURE IT OUT!


“Those holes are made by a natural born predator!”


Toon jumped a bit away from his sit, “Wait what!?”


“So you know who could’ve done it then?” MasterCode made a devilish smirk, “Well point it out for us if you so please.”


“Wait...You don’t mean?” Key’s mouth drop as her light green color eyes began to fade away.


Ugh… I really don’t want to do this! “Scriptless…”


Her eyes widen but quickly holding them down. Jerry started to glare me down, having his snake tongue slide out of its mouth.


I gotta admit… that was uncomfortable to watch.


Scriptless booped her tail, pushing it back. “Yes Unova?” Her calm demeanor really sounds convincing.    


“I’m sorry to say Scriptless… I think it’s you.” I won’t hold back… not even for a friend.


“Well… that is very surprising.” She continue to kept her cool. I gotta say, she is really good at it.


“SCRIPT!” The entire court went silent, hearing Key’s scream threw out. “DON’T YOU GET IT!? YOU’RE BEING ACCUSED!” The anger… it’s not something I have seen her in.


“Scriptless!” Golden grinned his teeth as he looked her down. “May I ask what is going on!?”


“Now now!” AnY quickly intervene. “I would like Unova to explain this accusation.” He faced towards me, “Now proceed.”


Ok… “Now we all know the holes are snake bites from Rhino’s neck.” I closed my eyes, “Well there was holes right on the bookshelf as well.”


“Which would mean that Scriptless sneaked up on Rion through the secret entrance!” MasterCode pointed at Scriptless, “Isn’t that right, Scriptless!?”


She only responded with a shrug.


“Wow…” Sapphire’s mouth dropped, “You are not giving a single fuck, aren’t you?

“Ummm Scriptless…” Finn awkwardly scratched his head, giving an uncomfortable smile. “I believe you should try to tell him that you’re not the one who has done this?”


Sapphire’s eyes closed tight, with her teeth rammed together. “Scriptless, I don’t know what is going on with that head of yours but it’s getting pretty annoying with the attitude you’re expressing there!”


“I was just joking on wanting to leave this place…” Dark slowly raises his hoof, having an awkward face to boot.  


Scriptless petted her tail, “It’s alright everyone. I’m letting all of you finish the conclusion you made before I call out any illogical fallacies.”


Wow… Is she really not fighting this?


“Script…” Golden’s voice lowered, having to look away as the eyes were covered by the shadow of his hair. “You’re not doing what I think you’re doing…”


All she could respond was a long drawn out sigh.


MasterCode let out a small burst of laughter. “While you continue to stay silent, I might as well continue to shed light on this case.” He grabbed his shirt, straighten it out. “Now someone is probably asking how Rion was crushed by the bookshelf so easily right?”


Brush slowly raises her hoof.


He gave a little smirk, “Well it would’ve of gone like this!” His face is locked on, showing his eyes piercing with flames from within. “Scriptless attacked Rion but having her tail putting paralyzing poison within his system!”


“Why paralyze instead of killing him outright?” Cat looked at him awkwardly. “If Scriptless wanted to kill him quickly, it should’ve of done so with the poison…” Cat quickly covered her face, “I’m sorry Scriptless…”


“Pfft!” She made a small but comforting smile, “It’s alright, Cat.”


“I haven’t finish my explanation there.” He pulled his hair back, only to flip back. “As Rion couldn’t move because of the poison, Scriptless went threw the secret entrance. Once she made it to the other side, she push the bookshelf right on top of him.”


“Meaning...that she probably let her tail push it, knowing the bite marks that was left there.” Jae Fox looked a little disappointed there.


“Wait!” Toon shouted, “How the fuck did Scriptless see through all that darkness!?”


“Scriptless is a nocturnal animal,” KeyFrame fiercely pointed out.


Toon covered himself with his hat, “I apologize there…”


“So…” Brush puck her lips together, “She use nocturnal vision to see through there?”


“I can attest to that Brush!” I remember it as plain as day. “When I enter that cave, I saw red bright nocturnal eyes right in front of the dark side of the cave.” I shivered, unable to sustain my body.


“You mean to tell me that the adorable chimera has bloodshot eyes that glow in the dark?” Sapphire scratched her head, unable to process such a thought.


Keyframe awkwardly laugh, “well you should see her grow to the size of a giant.”


Golden face hoof, letting out soft annoyed growls. “Don’t remind me…”


AnY giggled, sticking out his tongue. “Well you did shoot me before.”


“So Scriptless was in the caves but why is half of it shrouded in darkness?” Finn place his hoof on the tip of his lips. “Weren't there torches in there?”


“Well… I think somepony has blow off the fire.” Jae scratches his, clutching his teeth together. “But… aren't they a little far off reach for Scriptless?”


Hmmm….I got it! “She main a be a little short, but who is to say it was her who blew off the torch.”


“You’re talking about her tail, I presume.” AnY looked at me, having his left eye lid lowered.   


“You’re right on that as I found some scrunched up paper right next to where the the darkness started.”  


MasterCode rubbed his chin, “I guess natural selection just starts at inconvenient times.”


“So that scrutch piece of paper that Unova found was Actually Scriptless snake tail shedding?” Brush Stroke dropped her jaw.


“Scriptless…” Golden couldn’t take it.


However Scriptless on the other hand, didn’t let a single emotion run through.


“GAH!” Dark presses his chest down, closing his eye tight. “Does this mean the metal bat was her doing as well?”


“AH!” Brush puts her hooves together. “You mean she purposely bent that bat to distract us!”


“She probably got it where the sports rack,” MasterCode turn his back on us, “There are a lot of equipment that could be use for murder or shall I say, similar to what could cause the murder in the first place.”


I faced at Scriptless. All she was doing was stroking her tail like it was nothing.


“So…” Toon’s voice muffled a bit, “does this mean it’s over now?”


Scriptless glance around, letting out a long withered sigh. “I guess you have caught me then.” A small giggle was let out, “I guess this is the end for me, huh?”


“Scriptless, stop this!” Golden cringed his teeth, giving her a glare. “Aren’t you gonna fight at all!”


All she could do, was just give him a single nod.


Something just doesn’t feel right about this… what is going here!?
Ok first half done. I await to see who you think killed rion as all of it will be reviled in part 2. 

:iconflairnightz: I'm gonna check if the rift has any buffets around. A master mind like myself can get really hungry at this moment.

Yeah I knew Scriptless was involved.  Those two holes I immediately thought of Scriptless's Jerry snake, but I still don't think she's the killer.  Just like in the 2nd trial it seemed that at one point it was obvious who the killer was but it reality it wasn't.
