The zebra continued to keep the muzzle of her pistol against the lower jaw of the stallion. The disguised queen watched as her security detail slowly surrounded the little drama playing out on the club floor. Satisfied that this and her discretion sphere spell were in use she nodded her head at Senior Security Officer Number 12. The stallion pulled a inhibitor ring from his jacket and placed it on Golden Vision's horn.
The securing of the ring on his horn jolted the unicorn out of his stunned state. "What is the meaning of this! How dare you treat me like...." His voice tapered off as he notice the circle of glaring stallion's around him. One was quietly speaking on his phone while another typed away on his. After a moment the one speaking on his phone looked over at the queen. "Ma'am. There's a private banquet room just down this hall." He pointed to his left. "That the club manager says we can use to continue this conversation. He'll be with us shortly."
Chrysalis nodded her head. "Thank you." She looked over at Two Tone. "Dear. Do you think you can handle keeping this naughty pony under control as we move him a short distance?"
Two Tone continued to stare at the stallion with murderous rage. With clenched teeth she snorted and nodded her head. Chrysalis took that for a yes and in an orderly manner they spirited Golden Vision off the club floor and into a waiting banquet room. 4 of the queen's security detail followed her into the room. The other 2 took up positions on either side of the door.
With the door closed Glimmering Gems sauntered over to the unicorn and leaned an arm across his left shoulder. With an impish grin she looked at him in the eyes. "Well Golden. This time you've truly stepped in it. Hmmm. There's a phrase that describes this situation, but its escaping me at the moment."
Two Tone spoke up. "I think the phrase you're looking for is. Fuck around and find out. Well this piece of shit." The zebra nudged the unicorn's lower jaw with the muzzle of her pistol. "Has fucked around. Now he finds out!"
About this time there was a knock on the door. One of the queen's security detail opened it. Standing the doorway was the pegasus stallion Cumulus Dancer. Gone was his refined, gracious expression. Cold fire burned on his eyes as he stepped into the room while he spoke on his phone.
"Yes sir. I've arrived in the banquet room." He glanced at the inhibitor ring on Golden's horn. "Yes sir. We have him under control. Yes sir. I'll await your arrival. In the meantime I'll express your displeasure. Goodbye."
Seeing the club manager Golden Vision spoke up. "Sir! I warn you I'll be taking legal action over the way I've been treated in your establishment tonight! Now tell these scumbags to unhand me immediately!"
The pegasus pocketed his phone and walked up to the stallion. Carefully he straighten up his tailored jacket then he looked at the zebra. "Miss Two Tone. Could you be so kind as to move your pistol away from his head?"
Two Tone glanced over and looked him in the eyes. She nodded and pulled pistol away. A fraction of second Cumulus Dancer cranked up and gave Golden Vision a haymaker to the face. The punch would've sent the stallion to the floor, but the zebra yanked him back to his hooves. With wings now flared open Cumulus Dancer straightened his tie and then got up in the unicorn's face.
"My employer only allowed you back into our establishment because your family vouched for your behavior! And literally the first time we let you back in you do this!"
The stallion yanked his phone back out and brought up a video. He shoved it in the dazed stallion's face. "Our security cameras caught it all, and don't give me that you can't tell what is going on in the video crap! They." He pointed over his shoulder at the queen's security detail with his thumb. "Caught it on their cameras as well."
The bluster faded from Golden's voice and face. With blood flowing from his nostrils. He started looking at the faces in the room. Finally he sighed "Okay. Maybe I had a bit too much drink, but I don't think we need to drag other parties into this!" He looked at the zebra. "Maybe I can give you a payment as a sign of my penance for my indiscretion tonight? Say 5,000 bits?"
"Double that." Said the disguised queen.
"Okay 10,000–"
"And then add a zero at the end of that." Chrysalis said with a grin.
"A 100,000!" The stallion screeched. He looked over at the changeling. "Glimmering I fear that you've grossly over–"
"Oh I know you're good for that much. If it doesn't hurt the lesson often doesn't stick. This one should hurt." Chrysalis looked at the zebra. "Is that acceptable?"
Two Tone's eyes had gone wide at the mention of 100,000 bits but her scowl had quickly returned. She grumbled. "Yeah, that's fine."
Golden quickly pulled his phone out. "Well, Miss Two Tone if wouldn't mind giving me–"
"You'll be transferring the funds to me." Chrysalis said. "Then I will make sure she gets the funds. That way you can't immediately find out where she lives and start harassing like you've done to other mares in the past. Although I think you've already realized that harassing this mare is a very bad idea. But just in case. "
For next minute or so Golden Vision and Chrysalis typed away on their phones. Finally the changeling nodded her head. "Okay I have the received secured confirmation from your offshore account to mine."
About this time there was a knock at the door. Again one of Chrysalis's disguised warriors opened the door. Standing there was a massive but rather elderly, dark bay, earth pony stallion. In his dark suit he filled up the doorway. The years were starting to catch up with him, but he still projected an aura of authority and power. Cumulus Dancer nodded his head at the newcomers arrival. The elderly stallion had an earpiece in his right ear and was obviously in the middle of a discussion as he stepped into the room. The stallion's nostrils flared and he spoke the party on the other end of the line.
"Yeah I've arrived. He's still on his hooves." He noticed the bloody nose on the unicorn. "However I can see that my manager has expressed my displeasure to him already. Yeah I'll put this speaker phone."
He then pulled a phone from his pocket and set it on a nearby table. He pressed a button on the touch screen. Then he gave Golden a look of disgust. From the phone a male voice was heard.
"Golden can you hear me?" The unicorn glanced over at the phone with an alarmed look.
"Father! Let me explain! There was a terrib–"
"Spare me the excuses! Mister Crush Hoof has already forwarded me the security camera footage! I've done my damndest to raise you to be a stallion worthy of our family's name, and all you've done is heap shame upon it! Over and over again! Positively criminal things! Your late mother would be horrified by what you've become! Miss Two Tone can you hear me?"
The zebra crossed her arms. "Yeah I'm listening. What the fuck do you have to say?"
There was a moment of silence. "Want to say I am sorry for my son's actions tonight. They were totally inappropriate and will not happen again."
Two Tone walked up to the table and leaned over the phone and glared down at it. "Yeah I've heard that shit before. What happens the next time he pulls this kind of shit on mare who's not ready to put up a fight or doesn't have backup? You rich fuckers always think that money can make your problems go away!"
For several seconds there was silence. Then in a surprisingly sad voice the stallion on the other end spoke. "Because ma'am there will be no next time."
Two Tone was trying to parse this when Number 12 and Chrysalis's phones chimed and they read the message on them. The queen looked at her senior security and nodded her head. He went over and opened the door.
Standing in the doorway was 4 unicorns stallions in dark suits and sunglasses. Without a word Number 12 stepped aside and they silently entered room and approached Golden Vision. One of them fired a bolt of energy from his horn at him. He collapsed into another one's arms. The third one removed the inhibitor ring from his horn and handed it to Chrysalis. Then he placed a new ring on the horn. Then 2 of them picked up the limp body and marched out of the room. The other 2 turned and bowed to Mister Crush Hoof and then quickly exited.
There was silence on the phone then the voice spoke again. "Mister Crush Hoof did they take the problem away?"
The earth pony was still looking at door. "Yes they have. The final details will be taken care of. It'll be very discreet." He paused and looked back at the phone. "Sorry it had to come to this." Then he looked at Two Tone. "But a price must be paid."
The phone spoke up again. "Miss Two Tone. You... are correct. Money can make problems go away. For a high enough price. Goodbye."
Then the phone went dead. The old stallion picked up his phone and without another word walked out of the room. Two Tone was silent for a moment before muttering.
"Well fuck!"

That was cold, but handled well. I truly enjoyed that scene as well as the art.
