Sweetie Belle's efforts were for naught (pun intended), as whoever at hogtied the pony knew what they were doing and the rope failed to loosen even a bit.
Wordsmith:
"... W-who did you tick off?" he asked.
Beamer mulled this question over for a few minutes longer than it really should have taken an decent pony, "Well if I had to guess..."
Begin Flashback
Beamer stood in the doorway of a very regal looking estate in Canterlot speaking to a few royal gaurd ponies, "Look I'll get it taken care of. I've finally got it cornered in here. Just keep anypony from entering for a bit and their Graces will never know. Alright?"
The two guards glanced at each other hesitantly before both giving a confirming nod and took up positions on either side of the entrance.
"Great! This shouldn't take long," the green earth pony informed the guards before slamming the door shut and locking it.
There were several seconds of foreboding silence before-
WAM!SMASH!K-TANG! Sounds of violence reverberated through the door.
"Here it comes!" Beamer announced.
BOOM!
"What the..."
CRINKLE!
"
Oh, WOW! I that crystal figurine collection sure looked expensive!" high pitched squeaky voice not belonging to Beamer commented.
"What do you mean 'looked'?" Beamer questioned?
"
Nevermind. It's over there! SMACK IT!"
KAA-RASH!
K-SSSS. The front door opened up with a hiss releasing a small plume of smoke and a frazzled looking Beamer.
TOSS!
"Well that didn't work," the earth pony commented has he tossed out the mangled remains of a cannon.
"
MASTER!" cried the other voice from within.
"Whoops! Gotta go." Beamer waved at the guards as he slipped back inside, the door closing behind him.
CRASSSHH!
"Now see what you did???"
"Sorry!"
WAM!
"Oooh, I hope that wasn't priceless..." the other voice groaned.
"Nah, I think that was something of the guards'," Beamer replied. "Now shh. I- Is that a mana torch??"
"Yeah, it's worth a shot! Take cover master!"
"Huh?"
WUMP!!! The entire estate shook at the sound of the dull explosion.
"
YAAAAH!! MY MANE IS ON FIRE!!"
A couple minutes later: Click. Tssss. The front door unlocks and opens once more with a hiss accompanied by a small plum of smoke. A singed mane-on-fire earth pony crawled out and collapsed on the floor.
"We got him!" Beamer announced. "It put up a heck of a fight, but in the end it was no match for us." The green pony wiped a tear from his eye. "I'm actually kinda proud of it. I only wish I could have salvaged its... brain..."
Beamer's voice trailed off as he noticed the death glares he was getting not only from the two, now seething, guards but by a very infuriated noble figure.
"Oh horseshoes."
Flashback End
"Yep," Beamer nodded triumphantly to himself. "I'm pretty sure that's the party in question."
