Serenity chuckles at Octavia's words. "Thanks are hardly worth
fishing for. She could be handling this better, but she could be
doing worse too."
When the demolition crew rumbles forward, she frowns and sighs.
"Some ponies just don't know how to leave well enough alone."
She steps up, kicking a few cards out of the way, until she's
standing beside Brash. She raises her wings, wishing she had
something aside from her low-key glower to help her look
threatening.

Octavia can only stand and watch as the scene in front of her
unfolds. After the fillies' outburst, most of the construction
ponies there just turn to the filly, looking somewhat amused at
her rant, but their attention is on her now. "Well little filly,
you know quite a lot. Usually you would be correct in saying you
have 24 hours to repair your house. Unfortunately for you, the
building which you destroyed has been ordered to be taken down
immediately by the Ponyville Council in interest of public
health and safety, something that I heard from the good ponies
of Ponyville, that you don't care too much about. If you don't
believe us, we have the proper authority and papers to do so."
he says, showing Brash the papers, long enough so that she could
read it but quick enough so that she can't take it. "Now, this
is a construction area, a quite dangerous area at that so I will
have to ask you to take whatever possessions you may have before
you are evicted and we do our job. If you don't believe us, or
choose to not listen, we will have to forcefully remove you.
Don't worry your pretty little head, we're allowed to do so.
We're giving you 3 minutes to get whatever you need before you
are to leave. I suggest you get going little one. That applies
to you to ma'am." he says plainly. As he says this, one of the
biggest, probably the strongest construction pony there steps
forward, his gaze piercing Brash, indicating that he can and
will move Brash out of the way, and judging by his size and
likely strength, there isn't a whole lot she can do to stop him
from moving her out of the way in 3 minutes time. Octavia,
making her way forward to her says to her. "I suggest you listen
to them. You don't like it, but you have no choice. They're
letting you have this chance to get what you need and leave.
Don't make a bigger scene, just go." she says calmly,
rationally, but sternly, almost like a mother giving their foal
a lecture.

"You don't want to have a standoff with me." Brash snarls. "I'll
take my three minutes." She hands the orb to Serenity.
Brash turns away and toward her house, mocking Octavia's last
few words as she heads into her house, "Don't make a bigger
scene..." With sounds of shuffling, hay, paper, and chunks of
wood. Then, a spark, Brash emerges from a broken window with a
lit torch, "I'm not a very nice pony." Brash announces, "A stray
wind spreading some fire wouldn't bother me in the least. Why
would I burn my house down? Because as I stated, I'm having it
rebuilt anyway. And why not let you at it? You asinine lot of
disgusting buffoons would do worse than fire could. Here's a
better question before I hold this flame over the tinder: What
health or safety risk does my isolated house even pose?" Brash
gestures to the empty land between her home and the others, hers
being far enough that the collapsing house wouldn't even be
alarmingly audible to others. "The smoke is gone and with enough
yellow tape you could block off the area for the time that I
require without interrupting anypony's day. So take your pick,
retreat or fire."
She places the torch in her mouth and stands ready to dive into
her home with it before anypony could reach her.

Serenity stands dumbfounded, glancing between Brash and the
machines of destruction. She sighs. "I guess I take back my
remark about how she could be handling it worse."
She sits back on her haunches, the orb in her hoof. "Sprocket,
huh? I don't suppose you have any insight as to why ponies are
so illogical?"
Serenity raises her eyebrow questioningly as the orb rolls
towards her face and emits a few flashes, freezing in case
anything untoward happens. When it doesn't, she relaxes. "I
guess we both just have to wonder."

From a young age, Octavia had always been raised to be a
respectable pony, and to see the good in others. Today, she had
done the complete opposite of that. And Brash threatening to set
her own house on fire, certainly didn't help with the later.
"You could say that again, she's insane." she says, watching on.
Meanwhile, the construction ponies are taking this a little bit
differently. Some edging closer to stop her, others running off
to get help. "Now now little filly, even though its your house,
you're still destroying it by burning it alive, which is a
crime. You're already in deep water by dropping a boulder on it
and threatening the lives of civilians at the time. I don't
think a filly like you would want to be sent to prison." he
says, trying to edge closer to grab the torch.

"Well..." Brash says as the torch slips from the grip of her
teeth, "Prison isn't an option." The torch drops and hits the
tinder Brash built up and the flames begin to spread. "Not like
you could catch me." Brash snatches up the torch and tosses it
behind her, into the house, jumping in after it.
A much more sinister smoke begins to rise and Brash calls out
from it, "I at least hoped you all would be reasonable out here
in Ponyville. All you had to do was listen, now you've gone and
made an enemy out of me."
The fire spreads quickly, the tinder Brash set intelligently
placed to account for the wind, and reaches every corner of the
house.

Serenity takes a moment to stare at the fire before she sighs...
again... and rubs her temple. "I need a spa day soon."
She looks at the orb before depositing it into the laundry
basket. "Guess you'll be staying with me for a while." Then she
picks up the basket and begins walking away calmly.

Octavia can only watch in absolute shock as the filly jumps into
the burning building. She knows that there probably isn't a way
for her to escape the burning wreck that is her house. "Oh
Celestia..." she mutters before soon grabbing her cello,
following Serenity, but staying close to the site.
Meanwhile, the place is in absolute chaos. Construction ponies
are running around, evacuating whoever is left, calling for
help, and trying to put out the fire. The intensity of the
flames and the winds aren't helping matters. Soon enough nearby
trees were starting to set alight. It wouldn't be long before
fires were starting. And it didn't look like they were going to
be put out soon. The only way for this to be stopped would be
with a miracle, or even magic...

Watching from the nearby trees, completely hidden from sight, is
a hooded pony. They saw everything that had happened, all the
way up to the filly setting her house on fire. "She takes orders
from no one, and she has a thirst for knowledge and discovery.
That orb is true indication. She would make a fine member of the
Rebel Yell..." they say to themself. Extending out their hoof,
time seems to freeze, except it doesn't. All they did was freeze
everything. The ponies were all frozen in place, some not
realizing that they are frozen, others are aware, but they can't
say anything. The flames come to a complete halt, the flames not
moving at all, and the heat of the flames rapidly subsiding. It
only takes a little bit of time until the flames are completely
put out, all that is left is the burnt wreck of the two storey
mansion. Behind the house is the little filly burying her books
in the dirt. "Soon... it will take time, but soon..." they say
to themself as they remain completely invisible, and dropping
whatever spell or enchantment that was there, allowing the
ponies to move once again.

Brash freezes as she shovels a last bit of dirt over her small
assortment notebooks in the backyard of her house. In the moment
she didn't care to understand it, she simply took in her
situation. The rubble of the house high enough to conceal her
movements from the front and the fire fading faster than she had
hoped, she decides it best to make for the trees and watch from
afar as she waits for Carri and Gizmo Industry employees to
arrive.
As she gets behind the nearest tree she peers out, relieved to
see nopony had tried to jump in and save her. Making sure to
keep an eye out for any who might try to catch her she sits on
her haunches.
