Episode 16: Starting The First Bounty! Capture The Cattle Rustlers!

Before you head down there to capture the two bulls, and gain the awesome red coat, you pull out your,

Get the Power Glove in one hoof, the Boomstick in the other, and get ready to bucking party!

Trusty Boomstick while making sure the Power Glove is at full blast. You remember the last time you fought buffaloes back at Appleoosa that it took a lot to get them down and out for the count. Bulls are about the same size, so you figure that a combination flames, lighting, ice, and so on would be enough to knock them out. You smirk slightly at this before thinking,

And if not, then a blast to the face from the Boomstick should knock them out.

And with that you begin to head towards the safe house, and as you do all your attention so focused only on the...

Lord Sergal's Comment

glorious, beautiful, awesomeness that is that coat. You begin to grin creepily as you think,

Soon that coat will be mine! All mine!

Bugze...

When I get my hooves on that puppy my badflank costume will be complete and nopony will be able to stop me!

Bugze!

I'll become the most well know bounty hunter in the whole world! I'll capture all the Crimsion Knights, and with that coat I'll be know as THE-

BUGZE!!!

You snap out of your thoughts as you say,

"Hu-*trip*OwOwOwOw!"

You were so focused on your thoughts about retrieving the awesome coat that you didn't pay attention to where you were going until you tripped over something. After rolling painfully down the hill, you groaned in pain until the object tumbled down and smacked you in the back of the head.

Grumbling in annoyance you get back up and look down at the object that hit you. Picking it up you find out it's a book called "Tzeentch's Book of Convenient Knowledge." Curious, you flipped it open to a random page, which happened to reveal a top-down map of the house along with markers for the outlaws and cones representing their fields of vision.

"Cool!" you whisper-shouted as you tried to flip the pages, only to find them apparently stuck together. You tried harder only for a bookmark to flip down and the inside cover to pop open, revealing the words,

"If you try to force my pages again, you will spend the rest of your life with only three hooves."

Your eyes widen in fear as you gulp and slam the book shut before saying,

"Well, I'll only be using this when I absolutely have to..."

With that said you turn around and are about to continue your walk towards the co-I mean safe house when you remember something.

Oh yeah, what did you need Selena?

You can hear Selena groan in annoyance before she says,

I was going to say, watch out for that book you’re going to trip over it, but you kept daydreaming about that coat.

It’s a nice coat, you defend.

Regardless, I would be wary about that tome. Something about it seems…off. It’s as if it has a mind of it’s own, she explains cryptically.

You chuckle nervously at this as you put the book into The Inventory.

"Tzeentch's Book of Convenient Knowledge" Added to The Inventory

Hehehe, your probably right. I'll only use this as a last resort. Or if I run into a boss battle, one of the two.

You can image Selena nodding as she says,

Of course I'm right, I always a-wait...boss battle? This isn't a video ga-

Shoosh! I need to think of a plan to get them out of that house.

With that said you put on your thinking face, and ignore Selena's shout of annoyance, as you think,

Now what can I do to get those bulls out of the house? As much as I want that red coat, I can't risk going after it as long as those two aren't captured. Now besides yelling like a maniac, cause let's face it I do that way too much and it's getting old, how else could I get them out?

Your gaze lingers over to the chimney and soon you hear a *ding* and your eyes widen as you think,

BrownDog's Comment

I know! I'll go all rebooted True Grit on them!

Rebooted tru- what does that even mean? Selena asks confused.

With that question, you whisper.

"It means I'm going to use a clever trick used by one of the few movie remakes that I feel is actually better than the original," you say aloud.

Ok...what trick is that?

"If I get up on the roof and block up the chimney, I'll be able to smoke them out."

It would not work, they would hear you on the roof immediately.

"Hey, I'm not THAT heavy," you remark.

Unless you are the weight of a child, then yes, yes you are, she deadpans.

"Hmmm...actually that gives me an idea."

You open up The Inventory.

"Nightshade, come here baby," you whisper to her.

"What is it daddy?" she asks.

"Honey, I'm about to get some criminals, but I'll need your help OK?"

Her eyes brighten, and Selena begins to chide, before you say

"All I need you to do is to place this coat," you say holding up the leather jacket, "over that chimney there, and once you do, I want you to run to those bushes way past the house there and hide," you tell her.

"Oh, but Daddy..." she pouts.

"Ah ah ah! No whining young lady. I'm not going to have you in a fight when your mother and I can handle this, understood?"

"But..."

"Understood?" you say firmly and she looks down.

Answer your father Nightshade, Selena commands, causing Nightshade to look up at you.

"Alright, alright, I won't help fight, I'll go hide in the bushes," she says downtrodden as she grabs the cloak.

"That's better. But don't be so down honey, this is very vital to the plan." you say as you both start sneaking.

"Uh-huh, whatever..." she says still pouting.

You both continue sneaking as you mentally ramble about that snark.

She'll get over this. She's not a teenager YET. She'll see how important her task is, you rationalize in your head

Although I agree with your plan, next time ASK me first before deciding to place our child in the middle of it! Selena growls at you.

"Okay, Okay, sorry..."

As you reach the house, you use your telekinesis to lift her onto the roof gently. You look back at the bulls in the window and see they haven't noticed anything. You give her the go ahead signal and she nods her head as she sneaks up to the smoke stack. She places the coat over the chimney, before creeping to the edge of the house. She then hops off and uses her wings to gently glide down into the bushes.

"Ugh, I gotta teach her to fly somehow," you think before you hear the bulls inside.

"What the hay?! *cough* Where's that smoke coming from?!"

"I don't know! *cough* Put out the fire!"

They all start coughing harder, so taking this as a cue you stand up and flip the switch on your mask to reveal your teeth, and turn on the scary voice as you yell out to them.

"Alright, come on out with your hooves up, we have you completely surrounded!"

"What's going on, who's out there?" comes a voice.

"I'm, uh...a Law Stallion, and I have my posse her, come out with your hooves up and you won't be shot!"

"Screw you copper!" comes a voice.

"Would you kindly eat lightning!" you yell as you send a bolt through the window, hearing a scream.

"Alright, alright, we surrender!" comes the voice.

Two bulls come out, one with yellow hair and a burn on his leg, and the other a big one in a tan trenchcoat. You walk up to them, and they seem disturbed by your mask.

"In the dirt!" you command.

You place them on their bellies and duct tape their limbs together.

"Shoot, there's only one of ya?" says the bull flabbergasted.

"Who are ya?"

"That's...uh... classified," you say.

"Classified?" the bigger one asks.

"Yes classified. My get up isn't complete yet...speaking of which." You head over the line and pull the coat off and gaze at it in the moonlight.

"Hey, that's my coat!" protests the yellow haired bull.

"Not anymore, criminal scum," you say.

Before you put on the coat, you can't help but,

The Pony Spartan's Comment

Hug it tightly as Selena says,

...Seriously...?

You ignore her and squee in delight. (You swore you heard the surrounding area and Dodge Junction shake from you squee, but you don't pay attention to it.)
"Precious..." You say creepily.

Nightshade walks back over to you from the bushes and looks at you strangely as she asks,

"Daddy? What was that noise and shaking?"

"Precious..." You say again having not heard her.

You daughter shrugs before asking

"Ok...can you put me back on the roof to get the coat? I don't want to leave it up there," she says.

You snap out of it at this as you do just that with your Telekinesis.

"Wait a dang minute, it was just you and a little filly?! Dang it Stampede, I told ya we shouldn't have given up!" growls the big one.

"Well how was I supposed to know?! Lightning came in through the window, and I thought the house was on fire!" replies the yellow haired one.

After Nightshade takes the coat off the chimney and gets back in your Inventory you look at the two bulls and say

"Alright you lugs, lets go back inside and have a chat shall we?"

"But it's smokey in there," they reply.

"Oh, right...hang on a moment."

You take a deep breath, head inside and push out your arms for some Air Bending...which only serves to push the smoke in the corner.

"Dang it, gotta practice this more instead of not at all...Would you kindly get pushed back?" you say using your Telekinesis to move the smoke out the windows and doors.

You then pick the bulls up and put them back in the cabin and tie them to the chairs.

You then finally put the awesome coat on and you can't help but feel complete with it. With a sigh of satisfaction you look over yourself in a nearby mirror.

"Don't get comfortable in that mister, that there is mine and mine alone," Stampede growls.

"Ownership is 1/3rd of the law...or something. Anyway," you dramatically turn around and point at them, the coat billowing about you as you growl.

"You're part of the Castle Rustlers, so where's the rest of them?"

"We don't know nothing," protests the bigger bull.

"Yeah, we're only here on vacation, we don't know no Cattle Rustlers," the yellow haired one says unconvincingly.

"Bullspit...litteraly," you say as you show them the bingo page.

"I know who you are," you say dangerously.

"Oh lord, it's one of them bounty hunters Stampede," says the bigger one.

"Come on mister, this is just a big mistake. Just let us go, and nothing bad will happen."

"Um...how about no. How about you tell me where your friends are, I beat them up too, and you all go to jail together for being criminal trash. Now where are they?" you command.

"W-we don't know. Ain't seen 'em in weeks. We ain't a part of them no more anyway," says the big one.

You raise an eyebrow and look back over to the fireplace, where a big pony sized cauldron of of beans is cooking.

"Uh-huh, and what, you were gonna eat all these beans by yourselves?" you accuse.

"Y-yeah, we're pretty hungry..." the big one lies.

You walk over to him and slam his head on the table.

"Enough bullspit, tell me where they are!" you growl.

The yellow haired one then looks at a nearby clock, then looks to you and smiles cruelly.

"What are you so happy about?" you ask.

"Cause I know where my friends are mister..."

Suddenly, you hear large beating hoofbeats outside.

"And they're already here..."

"Oh Buck Me..." you moan.

"Stampede, Brick! You better have those beans ready, cause we are hungry!" comes a large booming voice.

You run over and quickly lock the door. As soon as you do, the bull on the other side slams into it.

"What the hay? Brick, Stampede, what's going on? Open up!"

You look over at your two prisoners and whisper.

"Not a word. Stay quiet and..."

'WE'RE IN HERE BOSS! BOUNTY HUNTER'S GOT US! HELP-*whack*" you silence him with a smack of the boomstick staff.

"You motherbucker!" you growl.

You turn around quickly and hold up the Boomstick as the door is busted open to reveal...

A lot more bulls then the wanted poster had! Your eyes widen in fear as you think,

What the buck! There has to be thirty or more bulls! The wanted poster only showed like ten! Where'd they all come from!

You can hear Selena click her tongue in annoyance as she says,

That wanted poster was outdated, remember?! They've obviously recruited more into their numbers since that picture was taken!

You can't help but gulp at this as a big blue bull with a skinny black hat begins to stalk towards you.

"I am King Longhorn and this is my property. Who in the hay are you, and what are you doing with my crew?...And why are you wearing Stampede's coat?!"

"I, um...*cough* I'm here to take you in, you slabs of beef! And this coat's mine now! MINE MINE MINE!!!" you growl out in your intimidating voice, to which he flinches at, before his eyes sharpen in resolve.

"Is that so?" he says as he snaps his hooves, and more bulls enter the room, trapping you.

You gulp as you look around and mentally panic.

Kropsling66's Comment

This is bad. So very very bad. Why must I be the only changeling cursed with bad luck?

MEANWHILE, AT A DIFFERENT LOCATION

A lone changeling is walking down an alleyway muttering to himself.

"This is just great. First I got separated from the hive then a creature with a black cloak and weird monkey hands ambushes me and takes away my magic. Now I can't even disguise myself! I try to find the hive and make my report to the Queen, but the only changelings I do find kick me out and call me a freak. And to top it all off they kept calling me 'Kropsling'. What the heck even is that? A gardening tool? Are they calling me dirty or something? Well time to make stand. I'm number 66. I will not let Equestria get the best of me!" number 66 declares.

"YOU HEAR THAT EVERYPONY?! I'M NUMBER 66! I WILL DIE STANDING SO DO YOUR WORST!" he shouts...only to immediately drop as he gets hit in the back of the head by a stray bottle which knocks him out.

"Oops sorry about that you ok?" says a cloaked figure.

"I'hmm..." Kropsling mutters.

"Better take you inside. Hey Fireheart give me hoof with this changeling" says the figure as he lifts one end of Kropsling up.

"Aww, Do we have to? I was right in the middle of doing something cool Pentakill," Fireheart says as he lifts the other end up.

As the two guys lifted Kropsling up he had few words to say while being carried off.

"...Your the man now dog..." Kropsling said

"Alright lets get him to the hideout," and with that they carry Kropsling to the hideout.

BACK WITH YOU

You feel a sudden shiver as you think,

Why do I have the sudden feeling that another changeling is Lady Luck's punching bag...and why do I feel jealous!?

Worry about your feelings for Lady Luck later! Deal with these idiots now!

Snapping out of it you notice that one of the bulls is charging at you. Thinking quickly you...

Kersey's Comment

flail your arm out and Falcon Punch him into one of the safehouse's wooden pillars, cracking it and causing the others to look at him in shock.

Taking the opportunity while they are shocked, you Psycho Crusher through said pillar and out through the wall, causing the roof to collapse as King Longhorn and his bulls all scream in fright. You look back as the house begins to fall apart and collapse. Once it's done breaking, you hear the moaning of all the bulls that got the roof dropped on them moaning. You smirk and start walking towards the wreckage as you mutter

"Mediocre."

You look over to the now unsafe house to see that about 10 of the bulls are knocked out from the debris, but about the rest, including Longhorn are conscious and pulling the debris off themselves . You see one of the bulls pull out the yellow haired one (still duct taped to the chair) from the rubble and that he's still awake too.

King Longhorn lets out an angry snort as he shouts,

“You’re gonna pay for that varmit! That cabin was a gift from my mother!”

“Oh don’t worry, I’ll pay you back. Once I bring you in, I’ll have more than enough money to do so,” you snark.

"You flippin Crimson Knight nutjob! I told ya'll we weren't interested in joining! But if you want a fight, we'll give you a fight!"

Your eyes widen at that statement, but narrow again as you menacingly say.

"Oh I'm not with those freaks, they're actually on my list. I'm just a simple Bounty Hunter, and they are probably far worse than what you can muster up...and yet even as I say that..."

Silver Strange's Comment

Brown Dog's Comment

MEANWHILE, WITH SILVER STRANGE AND THE CRIMSON KNIGHTS

Oh Buck! Oh Buck! Oh Buck! I'm finally joining them! Silver thinks in glee as Brown Dog and Silver open up a trunk.

It was tough but he had finally completed all of their trials, even if they were insane. They stole Yusei's deck in the Museum of Anime of Manehatten (yes. Yes, it is really a thing) and they defaced the Mayor of Baltimare's house.

Sure there were some close calls, such as almost drowning after deciding to take an impromptu swim in the Mayor's pool...while he was inside it. But after tying him up with pool floaties and locking him inside his own closet, they spray painted 'FREE 'SERVICES' INSIDE on the wall in front of the building.

Then while Silver was stealing the deck, Brown Dog apparently used his awesome ninja skills to disable a gaurd who had spotted them.

Thank the Queen Brown Dog's ninja skills are over 9000. Seriously! He was right in front of him! With the dang lights on! AND HE STILL MISSED HIM! He and SnapDrake are god tier, he thinks as they lift out a bag.

What Actually happened.

The Brown Dog actually intentionally broke cover and let the gaurd see him. What Silver thinks are Ninja skills of the Brown Dog, is actually just sheer confusion on the guard in question over why a Diamond Dog would blatantly stand in front of him while doing the macarena. Silver was so busy stealing the deck, he didn't quite see what happened.

"Wh-what are you..." the guard babbled out in confusion.

"The California Raisins Stole My Brain, Now I'll have nothing to offer to the Zombie Overlords," the Brown Dog said as he continued dancing, making the guard even more confused.

"I-I don't...wha...?" the guard's brain refused to function.

"I'ma knock you out now," the dog said as he bonked the poor confused guard in the head before turning around and giving the thumbs up to Snap Drake, who recorded the whole thing while snickering.

"I can't believe you actually did that," he chuckled.

"Hey, when you make a bet, I roll with it," Brown Dog replies.

"Oh wow, how'd you knock him out so easily?" Silver asked with the deck walking in on the scene.

"My awesome ninja skills, heh heh heh..." the Brown Dog joked while Snap Drake burst out laughing.

Back with Silver's Mind

I'm so lucky to be in their group, and now I get my own Cloak!

SnapDrake hands him the cloak and he puts it on.

"Welcome to the team buddy. Sure we may be rag tag, not know who the higher ups are, and get weird as heck orders now and again..."

"I thought the Viagra in the water supply over Heart's and Hooves Day was hilarious," Brown Dog quips.

"But we are what we are. Congrats," Snap Drake finishes.

He, Brown Dog, and some other random cloaked mooks then start clapping.

"I'm happy to be here. What do we do now?" Silver asks excitedly.

"I don't know...get drunk?" suggests Brown Dog, to which everyone cheers at.

Back with You

Irony washes over you again causing you to shiver.

"Gorramit. Quit contradicting me future enemies!"

Longhorn sees you shivering and calls out.

"What's the matter? Shaking in fright?"

"NO! You're the ones who should be shaking if you knew what's coming!" you yell as you point at him.

As you do, you realize that there is a very tiny tear on the left sleeve.

“NNNNOOOOOO!!!!” you scream in anguish.

“I only just got this coat! This beautiful amazing coat! And it’s already got a blemish! GGGRAAAAGGGHHH!!!”

“What?! You tore my coat?! YOU TORE MY COAT?!!!” shouts Stampede as his eyes roll over red in rage. Suddenly he stands up tearing through his duct tape manacles, even taking ripping some hair out in the process, but his rage masks this.

In your anger you look at the group of bulls who are all huffing, as Stampede looks at you in equal rage.

Asriel Dreemur's Comment

Pentakill Apocalypse's Comment

“I’M GOING TO PUT MY PAIN INTO YOUR SOUL!” you shout.

“I WILL MURDER YOUR FACE!!!” Stampede shouts.

“I HAVE THE SHINIEST MEAT BICICLE!!!” you yell angrily as you insanely run towards the group of bulls.

“AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!” he laughs madly and charges, the other bulls following soon after.


“FOR MY COAT!!!” both of you shout as you jump in the air at each other, both silhouetted by the moon. As time seems to slow down, you hear a giddy Selena say.

This is going to be fun…

WHAT DO YOU DO?
