"...I knew that that easy flank would reveal we're here!" Said Hoxton, while breaking one of the windows, and opening fire randomly. "Oooh, if I see her ever again..."
"Count me in." Said Wolf, shooting trought the window with his 'Betsy', at anypony he saw. "Dallas, this is your fault!"
"Mine??" Replied the leader, trying to figure a way out of the train. "At least I'm trying to find a freaking way out of this mess! Bain! The closest way out of here!"
"Eh..." Replied the voice in the radio, "Sorry guys, Twitch had to move places, the Royals would have catched her. She'll tell you where she landed. Untill then, hold it there!"
"Great." Said Hoxton, swapping from his Bernetti-9, to his packed CAR-4, and shooting out, randomly. "Heh, just like in the 'Mercy' hospital, back in Manehattan, right?"
"Don't make me remember that disaster!" Said Chains, shooting like a Madman from the aperture in the roof of the vagoon, both shooting and receiving magic shots, that were instantly absorbed by his full-body armour. "That almost ended in a freaking virus breakout!"
"Naaaah." Replied Wolf, while reloading his 'Betsy'. "The Royals were intelligent enought to burn the hospital... With everypony inside."
"Yeah... remind me to thank Bile for taking us out of that hell later." said Dallas, observing the end of the wagon. "Ah-hah! Got it! Wolf, you still got your 'Graneades' around?"
"Each one of them. Planning on bombing the Royals?"
"Better. We're leaving this damned wagon." Dallas walked over to the other end of the wagon, and took out his pack of ductape. "Wolf, the explosives."
Wolf threw him the graneades, without pulling the trigger. Dallas catched them in mid-air, and taped them to the door, that was pretty well closed. He pulled the pin of one of the graneades, and trotted to the other end. "Fire in the hooooole!"
The following explosion made the door blast away, and the resonance of the blast almost left deaf all the group, but not blind. Dallas signalled the group to run out the wagon.
Once outside, the constant fire of magic blasts ceased, probably due to the explosion. They saw a warehouse at the other side of the tracks, somewhere where they could cover their flanks. They trotted there the fastests their hooves could, while carrying the saddlebags filled with heavy ammounts of bits.
"Crap, the other two bags!" Remembered Chains, while turning to the half-blown up wagon. "I'm heading back!"
"Chains, wait! It's not safe out!" Said Dallas, pulling his tail.
"Dallas, I've got the armour, and we've got sniper cover, remember?"
Then, the radio channel started. "I'm still here, guys. I've got already seven for y'all."
"Fine. Hox, what if..." When Dallas turned, Hoxton wasn't there anyore. Well, his saddlebag with bits yes, but not him. "...Great."
"Howdy. Missed me?" Said Hoxton, while trotting in, with another saddlebag on his back. "I ain't leaving this behind."
"I'm going in!" Shouted Chains, while jumping outside. The magic blasts started again, and every single one of them were aimed at him. Luckily, the heavy armour was absorbing every single hit. Once he reached the wagon, he jumped in, and started to shoot back. "Shiet!" He said to the radio channel, "The armour's not going to hold another wave like that!"
"Give it time, Chains!" Replied Wolf's voice. "That's pure Innovation Inc. shit. It should regenerate itself with the energy of the blasts themselves."
"Holy Luna. How does that work anyway?"
"I've got no idea!" Replied Wolf's voice, followed by shotgun blasts in the background.
Chains grabbed the Saddlebag, and made his run back to the Warehouse. When he entered, the rest of the group just saw horrified how damaged the armour was. It almost had holes in every inch of it, and the mask was barely recognizable.
"Well, at least we know they're not treating us exactly well." Suddently said Wolf.
"No shit Mr. Genious!" Said Chains, throwing his money saddlebag over where the other five were stocked at.
The firefight continued for at least three minutes, untill a very disturbing message appeared from the radio.
"Eh, guys, how to say this..." Said Bain's voice. "They're throwing in heavier gear... Way heavier..."
"Bain, please... Don't tell us..." Dallas looked at the roof.
"BULLDOZEEEEEER!!!" Shouted Wolf, while pointing at a rather huge Buffalo, wearing a complete body armour, even heavier than the one that Chains was wearing. It was walking on it's hind legs, and wearing a shotgun, even larger than Wolf's 'Betsy'.
"...Bullshit."
...Meanwhile, in Appejack's room...
"Are y'all right, Applejack?" Asked Applebloom, while sitting next to her.
AJ. was covered in her blankets, shaking in fear. What if they come back? I kept my nouth shut, but... What if they do come back? These were the only thoughts in her mind. She still had the note she found in her pocket, in her pocket. Applejack tried to keep on, like if nothing, but she knew perfectly that if she said anything, she would be risking all the Apple Family.
"Applejack..." Applebloom poked her in the shoulder.
"Eeeep!" She almost jumped out of her bed. "Don't creep me like that!"
"Sorry Applejack, but y' haven't aten anythin' since this morning..."
"Ah, sorry for that, sugar cube..." She placed her brown hat back on. "Ah'll go down and eat somethin'..."
"Okay, sis..." Applebloom looked at AJ's eyes, that completely seemed to be somewhere else...
"Twitch!!! Where the BUCK are you!!" Shouted Wolf at his radio.
"You don't need to shout to me like that!" Replied the radio, "But, since you're asking, we're at the other side of the Warehouse you're at."
"Allright everypony! Let's get the hell out of here!" Shouted Dallas, picking one of the saddlebags. Hoxton followed, so did Chains. Wolf was too nervous, shooting at the Bulldozer with everything he had, untill...
"Aw, why do I always forget about..." He dropped the suitcase that was in his back, that once attached in the ground, automatically opened, and its frontal side aimed towards the Bulldozer. Then, it started to shoot it. Even through the Bull's bodyarmour was stopping every single bullet, they hit hard enough to actually make him slowly back up.
This gave enough time for the group to pick the rest of the bags, and meet up with Twitch, that was awaiting at an alley, at the back of the warehouse. The group just loaded the bags in, and jumped inside the carriage, that quickly settled off to the Safehouse.
"Phew." Said Hoxton, while taking out his mask. "Close one, eh?"
"You can say that all the times you want." Replied Wolf, taking out his.
Dallas did the same. "Why did it took you so long, Twitch?"
This time, Twitch didn't had her sunglasses on, since it's already night time. "Damned Royals had almost all the tracks locked down. I had to say these two to find a way around." She pointed at the two Stallions pulling the carriage, the fastests their legs allowed them.
"I see." He poked Wolf, and threw out a smile. "Hey, at least we made it out alive, eh?"
"If they have Bulldozers here..." He started to scratch his chin. "...Maybe they also have... Tazers... Or, even Cloakers..." He started to shake of the idea.
"C'mon, don't be scared about that." Said Hoxton. "Oh, and Chains, take off that armour already."
"Eh..." Replied Chains. "I'm not sure if it's such a good idea."
"Why not?" Asked Twitch.
"...Because... I feel a very... Itchy swetting here." Replied Chains.
"...No shit that..."
Before Chains could reply, he felt uncontious in the seat...
Chains opened his eyes. He was laying in his bed, facing the roof. He also had bandages covering his torso, and forehead. He tried to get up, but his strong hooves didn't had enought strenght to lift him up. "Twitch? Hox? Dallas? Wolfie? Anypony around?"
No response. He could only hear the fan that was in his right side, over a side table. Chains looked at the window across the room. It was already in the afternoon, of the next day. He sighted, and leaned his head back in the couch. Probably, I went too far yesterday... He thought, while trying to roll on his bed, and get a more comfortable position.
Then, he heard the back door open. Hoovesteps heading to the kitchen, somepony opening the microwave, closing it, and walking towards the room he was laying on. It was Twitch.
"Oh, mornin'." She greeted Chains. "Or, should I say, good afternoon?"
Chains looked at her, and blinked a few times. It was the first time he actually saw her without her suit, sunglasses, and her cutiemark covered with the blue ductape. "What did I miss?"
"Not much. Just a breakfast, and the fact that you survived four hits in your chest, and one in your head." Twitch pointed at the bandages he had. "And, it's not exactly nice to patch you completely."
"Ah, so you're my guardian angel?" He mocked.
"Hah, no." She replied, combing her hair, and looking towards the kitchen. "Actually, Dallas helped a bit. He's the one that knows medicine."
"Like as always. And, where is the group anyways?" Chains asked.
"Hm." Twitch started to rub her chin, trying to remember. "Dallas is walking in the park... Wolf's probably drinking, trying to forget the Bull from yesterday... And, I don't really know where Hoxton is. Oh, and the Twins are probably sleeping in the carriage."
"Allright. What abbout Bain?" He asked, after another attempt to get up.
"He's trying to figure out who sent the ambush from yesterday night." Twitch replied. "You hungry? We've still got some pizza from yesterday. I've placed some in the microwave, if you want."
"I'd like some, actually." Another attempt to get up, that ended with his head back in the pillow, while Twitch was looking, laughting to the insides. "You gonna' help or what?"
"Heh, let me enjoy this situation a little bit more... The badass Chains, isn't capable of getting out of the bed..."
"Ha, hah. Very funny."
...Little bitch...
"Well, once you feel better, be ready to go back to the fight. Bain told me that we're hitting the Library next. Something about gathering intel from Canterlot."
"...The Library? Why that place?" Chains asked.
"Don't you know? Princess Twilight lives there. And, since she's a princess, she must know something. At least that's what Bain says." Replied Twitch, while taking the pizza from the microwave, and bringing it to Chains.
"I see. So, we're going to ponynap a princess?" Asked chains, while eating the pizza in one bite.
"Yup."
.............really?
Tell and we will mruder you.
applejack jumps into the middle of town shouting into a speaker.
"Some awnree bastards just robbed my farm! An' if any of them are in the crowd.............. I'm the gawd damn element of Honesty. I am under the protection of the princesses themselves and all. Mess wi me and they kick yer keesters across the horizon!"
also.............. they are seriuosly trying to hold an alicorn hostage? try that and the first thing they will say is "Say a single..........why did my gun turn into chocolate?" soon to be folowed by, "OH CELESTIA MAKE THE SHOCKING STOOOP!~"
3734075
*Aherm*, wait till' the next one, and all your questions will be answered, my dear!
(Hoh, I like to make y'all wait, eh? )
...But that was a good idea, actually... If she's in the middle, she's a perfect target practice for Bruce!
possibly followed by a
"OH GOD THIS IGUANA IS EATING MY NON CHOCOLATE GUN!"
"I'm a dragon."
"Well i guess that explains why the bullets bounced off youoAAAAAAAAH IT BURNS!"
"It still stung you idiot."
3734090 and then he will be hunted down by two fucking demigoddesses that likely a bullet will not take down to begin with.....................
"See the princess, taking the shot....................... D............... did my bullet turn into a gumdrop?"
"Did you really think that we would not have created some method todefend ourselves from bullets? Though it was Celestia who decided the bullets should be turned into gumdrops," luna gulps down gumdrop, "A most delightful treat. Shall you make me more, or should i simply break you limbs for harming one of those pure hearted mares that saved me from myself? Decisions, decisions."
...................
3734125
Hm. I tought that only Discord could do that.
...But. Demigod doesn't mean being a god. If Hercules could be beaten to death, Celestia (AND Luna) can be mowed down too!
...Wait. I think that iv'e just startled both NLR and SE... Shiiiiet....
One last thing before my corpse is found in a river. Why are you being such as contradicting to my poor, little crossover?
3734090 ............. think my largest problem is hamfisting projectile weapons into equistria. while i do liek the writing, guns just........ don't fit. less the whole weapons or hooves thing, i mean they ahve swords and such and all. the hwole MAGIC thing. not only the fact they shoot energy and such, but also anything they would make for explosives and such would have a mystical origin too.
not to mention with magic it is possible to compeltely and totally eliminate the threat that is the bullet............... via gumdrops.
3734158
I get your point. Well, what if we say, that any kind of gun and explosive was illegalized by Equestria, only limiting it's use for certain groups (Explanation on why the Bulldozers wear shotuns), limiting it for the only way that theese violent criminal activities can go on. And since we're at this, CrimeNet goes waaay more deeper than what you'd think...
...Overall, that was the only way to let Earth Ponies and Pegasus ones to actually deal some damage in the battlefield. Think of it...
3734140 as said with that other comment, the whole hamfisting guns into the mix. they do not fit into equistria. not because weapons or hooves, but because, well, WHY would they develop them? one reason we developed porjectiles like that is to kill othes and or prey........... unless they had to deal with a sudden attack of feral potatoes, which is unnervingly likely, guns are not gonna happen.
...............no discord is not the only one able to alter things. he is the only one that can do it on a major scale with little effort, being a chaos beast and all............. just ask the orangefrog species that twilight accidentally created.
the whole gumdrop is for the whole moral breaking effect. one thing to see the bullets stoped ro reflected, another to further emphasis the humiliating futility by making the bullets turn into a snack.
3734196
...Again, think. If somepony's twisted enought to start thinking as we, humans, do, it would start to make theese little monstruosities... And of course, any criminal net would happily say "Oh y'course, i'll buy them.". And, iv'e expect them to develop guns sooner or later, the Everfree holds a bunch of feral creatures...
...Now, to deal with magic. If you're good enought to actually cast a spell, in the time that a bullet, that travels faster than the sound hits you, then congratulations. You'll only have to do it about 100 times per minute to get away harmelss from a STYK.
...And, if it's already hard to see a sniper round getting close, it would be even harder to cast the same spell on time...
3734180 it is less legalizing and more why would they be d eveloped? if you haven't noticed, technology is acletic at most in equistria. they have steam trains, yet more advanced technology in the same area, and their cabs are fucking wagons...............
................. earth ponies have the brute force to charge down enemies and break through ranks. pegasus can send the very weather against the eneny, and could carry around small thunderheads to use as powerful ranged weapons.............
i ask again, why would a gun be invented?
the only time i have never equstioned guns in an mlp fiction was in Starlight over Detrot. and that is because the guns have a magical nature and they had to develop something to fight against organized dragon armies, and the guns have a highly magical background; even the shotguns have a tendency to become 'vindictive' over mistreatment. that and the author developed that the guns are easily stoped by magic anyway, if the right magic is used, and the guns use a complex harness.
3734236
...Then, we're now talking on Equestria's miss-technological advancement...
Oh, another little detail. It's called 'Fanfic' for something, right? Alternative Univere? Hmmmm?
3734253 ...let us just say ti seems the only create what is needed. guns are not needed when you can throw tornados and lightning at your enemy and your ground troops are living battering rams.
also i never think of ponies as being pacifists. largely think that while they will not kill first, they will kill if pushed to that extreme........... and have lots nd lots of attributes to help them in that regard.
largely think you could ahve been more creative than guns and such. like having that sniper using specialized magic rather than actually having a gun............... and the likelyhood that the moment guns were invented celestia owuld ahve come up with a defense against them. criminals or not, Celestia owuld realize their danger and create some kind of magic to defend against them...................
also she is powerful enough to dessimate an entire castle........... pretty sure that it is hard to aim a gun when someone is releasing raw magic beams able to puncture through castle walls at you.
3734310
...Almost everypony in CrimeNet is an Earth pony, Ergo they have no such special powers, so, they need to get a way to earn their power, so they get guns for that.
...But. I'll give you a point on the Sniper.
...And... I see that you're a very Magic-Based one, eh? Technology will win!
Since we're at this, I'd suggest you join this group. Maybe you could give some good discussion there.
...But not on my poor Crossover!
3734335 ........... the idea technology would overcome magic is stupid by this sole factor; magic is not limited to what you can build. not to mention magic could directly affected the devices. hard to nukers to launch when the uranium has been turned into rock candy................. or even worse, a clever magician creates a small mystical effect inside of the missile and causes it to explode.
see? tech is far too limited, and the technology of the enemy can be stolen and then amplified with magical techniques. though it does depend on wht the magic is. the magic from the original MLP would not cut this factor............ the magic in fim, put simply, is capable of making soldiers cry bitter tears.
kinda a good thing magic is not real..............
shrugs. fanfics is fanfcis but that does not excuse odd decisions............. definitely far from the worse fanfic though. once read one where someone murdered twilight, and for some reason despite the murderer somehow suffocating her to death with magic and being in the same god damn building, not to mention having a questionable past............ not a fucking soul suspected him.
hell so long as you do not have a scenario where for some reason a panicking, fighting for her life tiwlight is not releasing magic to free herself i will be fine..................... had major issues with that story.
3734404
-I'll keep facehooving for a while.
...Now, Tech. Ah, technology... Let's see, Magic consumes energy from the user, right? TEchonlogy, if it has it's propper energy source, can be limitless. Nukes? They explode over the place thay're planned to bomb. Overall, if you do this at midnight, when everypony's sleeping, and with a silent plane (Developed with techonlogy, why not. No pegasus can carry a 10-ton bomb.), boom. Good-bye Equestria, Good-bye Canterlot, Good-bye Celestia.
...Now, if you got some kind of spell against radioactivity, nor the bomb's blast itself, then, welcome to Overpowered Oc's club.
...And, iv'e noticed your patriotism, talking b'out imaginary Enemies.
...What if, thoose Enemies were your own people, developing that tech? Hmmmmmm?
...Now, back to Twilight's Kidnap. Just wait till next chapt's released... Bwhahahahhaa!!!!
3734438 ................. that is sitll relying entirely on a device. technology cannot stand when ir is e facing a force that can turn its most important parts into something else............ hell all they would need is a thin barrier around equistria to deal with a stealth plane coming in. if you disrupt a plane in a significant enough way it completely lose control and crash. planes are very delicate, even the most advanced of plans.
also, considering they could theoretically shoot fire, heat, lightning, and other forms of energy............. exposing ponies to the existence of radiation would suddenly have ponies developing lethal radiation beams to shoot at enemies. it is still a form of natural energy, radiation.
that and nukes cannot explode if its uranium is turned into lead............... or rock candey for the sake of humiliation.
hope these batards are willing to accept the consequences of holding hostage the practical daughter of one of the most powerful beings in equstria and her sister. not to mention a unicorn able to create a field large enough to encompass an entire castle and another alicorn that can potential get you into a homoerotic hallucination if you pissed her off.
3734504
...Gesh. You're planning to keep giving battle, eh?
Fine. Talk abbout the Radiation effects with the creator of Fallout: Equestria, and everyone that made their own part of that. Huge ammount of people? -Of course.
Now, I just saw there that you don't like, or what I'm doing here, or Payday itself...
Hm. Relying in one device... Hm... Tactical Nukes... Firebombs... Misslies themselves... Inside jobs... And the list continues...
...But well. I'd like to end this pointless discussion over what I did here, if you're kind enought. Well, just wait till' I'm done with this. Now, I'm more aware on Twilight's abilities... So is the crew.
3734533 don't hate it, just find a bit of it a little hamfisted.
and i will finish with this....... ALL of those are devices. they rely on all their parts remaining their parts and not something else.............. tech has no way of dealing with magic if magic is already on guard. all i will say.
/...................how do you prepare to deal with a fire breathing, bullet proof (kid resisted lava and is disturbingly durable for a creature his size), who could probably eat your gun, and also deal with a super mage capable of turing your guns into something else and electrocuting you in an instant? not to mention having the baggage of 'if you kill me the fucking demigoddesses and their entire army will hunt you down' on her.........
they are sooooo gonna get it. iuf they kidnap her, they are screwed. if they hurt or even kill her........... well be go from emrely screwed ro being ass fucked to death with a flaming spear basically.
would be somewhat interesting to see them fall.
3734648
Aherm, let me do this:

...This is going to continue untill Technology kills you, or Magic kills me, right?
3734673 ........dude i just made one final statement and went to the subject of how you do all of that with twilight, possible consequences of what is technically a direct attack on the government............... also how they aer gonna pull this off when her home is in the middle of ponyville........................ went off that previous subject alerady dud.e
