Case File 0-0: "When Hell Was Let Loose​ at Canterlot High"

>3:00 PM, May 20th at Canterlot High's Summer Sun Celebration
>You are Moondancer
>And you have no idea why they put this thing on
>Well, you DO, considering it's meant to celebrate the transition of spring to summer, childhood to adulthood, moving up grades (or in your case, graduation), all that stuff
>It was unfortunately mandatory, so you had to come
>You could have been at home playing the new Final Fantasy, but no
>You HAD to be here
"wooooooooooooo."
>Sweet Jesus, even Maud would be offended by how unenthusiastic that was
>You're currently sitting in the auditorium alone near the back, wearing an old dress that happened to be available
>Looking around, you spot a few people you know
>There's Twilight, sitting with the Rainbooms
>Looks like she's waving for you to move over there
>...
>Nah
>Sure, you and Twilight knew each other before she transferred here, but you know zip about her friends, and you don't want to go over there only to be ignored
>Though you're sure Sunset would find something to talk about
>Apparently she's become quite popular even AFTER that whole demonic bitchfit
>You look around more, until you find...
>What's his name again?
>Wiz Kid! Right, yeah.
>He and Derpy are giving each other fuck-me eyes
>Eugh
>Like you need THAT right now
>Your eyes moving around the room, you spot Anon
>That mysterious green fucker
>Sophomore, if you're correct
>Apparently about as much of a shut-in as you
>Even when you exchanged Steam keys, he never actually played anything with you
>Good taste in vidya though
>Then there's Big Mac, senior jock extrordinaire walking towards him and putting a hand around his shoulder
>They stare into each other's eyes
>Longingly
>...
>Oh
>OH
>OHHHH
>That, uhh...
>Huh
>Good for them, you guess
>In an attempt to move away from thoughts of HOT MAN-ON-MANON ACTION, you look around more
>Someone else catches you eye
>Brad and his flunkies, Snips, Snails, Fido, and-
>No Norman
>Huh
>Whatever
>You realize something as you look at all of these familiar, yet distant faces
>You know none of them
>On a personal level
>Hell, even Twilight might as well be a stranger
>Wow
>Even with all of these well-known people around, you have no friends
>You're not sad about this
>You're not sad about this at all
>Nope
>Zip
>Zilch
>Nada
>Not. At. All.
>(Cue: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dzA6kMTbUQI )
>It's not like you're not used to being alone
>It just... hurts that much more when you see the joys of cameraderie in stark c-
>*CRASH*
>A noise like a truck ran through the school's front doors snaps you out of your mariachi-induced sadness, along with the auditorium shaking
>*BZZZT*"Students of Canterlot High, we are going into a lockdown situation. Please stay put and wait for -*BZZZZT*"
>The fuck?
>Is this a senior prank or something?
>Everyone in here is starting to look concerned
>It's... probably nothing, right?
>*Pfcheeeeewwww*
>The power goes out
>The fuck is this?
>You use your phone to light up the dark a bit-
>The left auditorium door closest to the stage bursts open
>Who needs light anyway?
>Someone wearing a hood with one of those fully black masks that blocks everything and blue jeans walks into the room
>Without hesitation, you duck behind your chair
>Does he have a gun?
>Is he going to kill all of you?
>What's he doing in here?
>Why?!
>Why NOW?!
>None of these questions are answered as a single voice fills the room
>A voice like the angriest, rowdiest black man in existence hatefucking the Devil
>"WHAT'S GOOD NYUKKA?!"
>Well
>That certainly... Put you off a bit
>You were expecting an Allahu Ackbar
>A gunshot
>Not... THAT
>Of course you don't willingly risk yourself by standing up to see who the hell this guy is, but you do peek from behind your folding chair
>And the sight before you is...
>It's fucking strange
>The Rainbooms attempt to apprehend the unknown assailant, but they're all flung to the wall
>And he hasn't moved an inch
>If you weren't currently scared out of your wits, you'd probably comment on how curious it was that he could do that
>You know magic exists (considering the past four years here have held for you experiences involving demons, sirens and all other sorts of strange stuff), but was that magic?
>It certainly didn't glow like regular magic did
>Yet how did he just fling the Rainbooms like ragdolls without moving?
>You overhear the guy as a few more students attempt to fight back against him
>"COME AT ME MUHFUKKAS! Y'ALL AIN'T SHIT!"
>"OH BUTTON BABY, DIDN'T YO MAMA EVER TAKE THE DICKS OUTTA HER MOUTH TO TELL YA HOW VIDYA GAMES IS BAD FOR YA BRAIN? WELP, GUESS IT'S TOO LATE NOW!! HEHEHEEEEEH!!"
>"SO SCOOTY BOOTY, WHAT'S IT LIKE BEIN' SUCH A LIL' BITCH THAT NOT EVEN YA PARENTS CAN STAND YA?"
>"AY BIG MAC, Y'ALL DON'T MIND IF I TAKE A TURN WIT' YO LIL' BOYTOY, DO YA?!"
>It's like he's trying his best to piss everyone off
>"RAIMBOOMS? MO' LIKE RAINBITCHES, AM I RIGHT?"
All the while beating them down like there's no tomorrow
>It's frankly odd
>And terrifying
>"GET BACK HERE YOU WALL-EYED BITCH! I AIN'T DONE WIT' YOU YET!"
>It's fucked up
>God why?
>Who would do this?
>Why would any sane person do this?!
>Oh god, you have to go
>You have to get out of here NOW
>You have to do SOMETHING NOW
>Before he sees-
>"OHHHH MOOOONDAAAANCAAAA!"
>FUCK
>An invisible hand reaching out of nowhere grabs you by the throat as the masked assailant draws nearer and nearer
>"HONEY, I GOTSTA ASK, HOW'S IT FEEL KNOWING AIN'T NO ONE GON' BE MOURNIN YOU WHEN YOU DIE TODAY?!"
>Gotta...
>Do...
>Something...
>No matter how much you struggle, whatever is keeping you like this isn't letting go anytime soo
>GOTTA. BEAT. THIS FAT. SACK OF SHIT.
>BUT RUNNING. OUT OF AIR.
>"Y'ALL AIN'T EVEN TRYING AT THIS POINT. THIS YOU FETISH OR SOMETHING GIRL?"
>PLEASE
>SOMEONE
>help...
*KACLICK*
["You're just giving up?"]
>...Who was that?
*BANG*
>With that, the invisible force let's you go, now replaced with a giant green hand
>"OOOH SHIT. DIDN'T THINK Y'ALL HAD THE BALLS TA SHOOT UP THE PLACE!"
>As you fall, a new person comes into view right in front of you
>Like a shadow got up and dressed like one of those old-timey detectives
>Trenchcoat and all
>He's even got a tie with a magnifying glass motif
>"I thought you better than that."
>He looks down at you, a face of pitch-black nothing with a pair of white, blank eyes
>"Get up, c'mon."
>His voice is deep and gruff
>He reaches his hand down towards you, and you grab onto it
>*ACHEM*
>Your attention turns towards the one who started it all
>"How's it going Moony?"
>What in the hell?
>Now his voice just sounds like a normal 20-something guy's voice being distorted
>"Well? You got something to say?"
"Wh-what's wi-your vo-I-?"
>Out of nowhere, the masked man seems to crouch down
>"I-D-DUH, I DUH MOONMOON! That's what you sound like right now."
"Who are y-"
>Before you finish, that same hulk fist that choked you just a minute ago slams into your face, throwing you across the room
>"HAHAHAHAHAAAAAA! RIGHT IN THE FACE!"
>The fuck?
>When you get up he's...
>Laughing?
>What is WRONG with this guy?
"The hell is your problem?!"
>"Nothing. Just havin' a little fun."
>...Fun?
"Fun?!"
>"Yeah."
"You walk into our school, beat up-"
>"Ah ah."
>He points his finger up, as if indicating to you to stop speaking
>"Murder. I murdered them."
>I-what?!
>"Gotta admit though, I was having a bit of trouble with the Rainbooms for a second. That purple bitch has a left hook, let me tell ya."
>You run towards the other side of the auditorium, the only light coming from the open door
>"Let me get that for ya Moony."
>The lights turn back on giving you a full view
>OH JESUS-!
>It's a bloodbath!
>It's like a mass grave!
>You can't-!
>*HURK*
>*HUUUURRRRL*
>As the chunks come flying out of your stomach, laughter is heard from behind you
>Tears blur your vision as you fall to the ground, mouth covering your face
>Twilight...
>Wiz...
>Button...
>Anon...
>Even Brad...
>Everyone..!
>Why?
>WHY?!
>WHYYYYY?!
>"Oh come on now. No need to be so sad..."
>You feel a hand grope your breast
>"I'll make you feel better."
>Instinctually, you turn and-
>Or rather, the detective guy from earlier pulls out his gun?
>And you knew he'd be here and do that?
>It's ike you and him are connected or something
>Never mind that
>You-no, HE aims it right between his eyes and pulls the trigger
>*BANG!*
>The shot sends him flying onto the floor
>Fun...
>He barges into the school...
>He murders students...
>He gropes you...
>FOR FUN?!
>You stand up, the detective joining your side with his gun pointed at the mystery man
>He's laughing again
>But now he has a trickle of blood running down from the front of his mask
>"Hahahahaha! Ahhhhh! Hot damn, you got some moxie! Dead center too!"
>He just took a bullet to the head and he's laughing?!
>"Gotta admit, if it weren't for my Stand, you might have done in there."
>It's like this is nothing to him!
>Who-
>No- WHAT is he?!
"Is this just a game to you?!"
>The answer he gives is surprising
>"Absolutely!"
>That sets you and the detective off
>You run towards that monster, fists raised, while the detective joins you, firing at will
>You feel the detective's footsteps
>His breathing
>His heartbeat
>What the hell is today?!
>A *PLONK* like a bottle was opened distracts you
>And then, everything begins to brighten
>Too bright...!
>AAAAAHHHHHH-


>"-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"
>You lurch up screaming
>You're...
>Not at school?
>No dead bodies...
>No mysterious... THING killing everyone...
>You're at home, in bed
>Thank God
>You sigh
>Looking up, you see the-
>-detective guy again?
>"Honey! What's wrong?!"
Your father runs up the stairs to your room, his short hair and long beard ungroomed
>"MOONDANCER?"
>He looks around the room, searching for any would-be attackers
>He somehow misses the vantablack Dick Tracy cosplayer standing next to your bed
>You look towards him in confusion
>"Oh thank God, I thought something had happened to you."
>Turning back to your dad, you find him hugging you, seating himself on the side of the bed you're not laying under
>"What happened, Ramona? You scared your mom and I something fierce."
>That's the first time you've heard your dad called you by your real name in a while
>He just kinda took to calling you Moondancer like everyone else
>You must have spooked him real good with that screech of yours
>Your mom walks in, baseball bat in hand, also not noticing Shadow Man, Private Eye
>"Is everything okay in there Perry?"
>"Yeah, we're all good Margaret."
"I-it was a bad dream."
>He sighs
>"You look pale, dear."
>Your mother lowers the bat and puts her hand over your forehead
>"You're burning up! You can't go to school like this!"
>"I'll call the school tomorrow, let them know you aren't coming in."
>"Is there anything we can get you before we head back to bed, dear?"
"No thanks."
>"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, dad. Good niiight."
>They both give a look of concern before saying goodnight and leaving the room, closing the door on the way out
>...
>...
>You grab your phone off the bedside table
>May 1st, 12:00 AM
>But... It was the 20th just a second ago...
>Was it all a dream?
"That was the weirdest dream I've ever had."
>"That wasn't no dream, kid."
>Oh, he's still there
"How would you know?"
>"Well, for one, that punch to the face would have woken you up from the shock. That and you felt pain from it."
>To be honest, you DID feel pain, but... still, it was too crazy to NOT be a dream, even WITH all the magic bullshit that's been popping up at school
"How do you know I felt pain?"
>"Simple, really. I'm your Stand."
>That word
{"If it weren't for my Stand, you might have done me in there."}
>What's a Stand?
>"Call me The Distiller."
>He pulls something out of his pocket
>"Want a smoke?"
