"We've got a live one!" Score laughed as Grif dragged him down.
Sharing a grin, Hoops and Dumb-Bell darted towards their friend. Grif managed to hit Score in the ribs one time before the other pair got to them and ripped him off of their friend by his wings. Grif let out a pained grunt as the pair threw him back towards the booth, chuckling as he stumbled back and fell to the ground and bumped into the table. Grif then got up and zipped towards them with his forelegs spread out, clotheslining Hoops and Dumb-Bell, making him laugh. As they fell to the ground, clutching the areas where he struck, Score flew straight into him and slammed him into the ground.
"Not laughing now, are you?" Score asked.
Grif replied to his question with a hit to the gut, winding him. But before Score could react to it and counter in his own way, Grif slammed his forehead into his attacker's snout, making him fly upwards. he flapped his wings before he hit the ceiling, catching himself before he went through it. Dumb-Bell got out of his state and lunged towards Grif with Score. Grif managed to dodge Score, but Dumb-Bell managed to grab him and took to the air. As they reached the ceiling, Dumb-Bell dove straight down and body-slammed Grif into the ground, making his eyes go wide. While Grif took a deep breath and tried to shrug off the pain, Dumb-Bell got up and wrapped his right foreleg around Grif's neck, lightly applying pressure to it, then flew up a yard, presenting him to the crowd.
"You'd think that they'd be going to get a bouncer or something," Grif said as if the choke-hold was nothing.
"I think they're waiting to see how long it takes for you to quit," Dumb-Bell said, tightening his grip. "You just have to say uncle and we'll stop."
"Will saying uncle make you guys stop annoying us?" he asked.
"Probably no-" Dumb-Bell started, but was interrupted by the side of Grif's skull connecting to his jaw.
"Way to go, Grif!" Tucker whooped, drinking some of his alcohol, laughing as Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy watched in stunned silence as Dumb-Bell slumped to the ground, knocked out cold.
"I actually managed to take one of them out!" Grif whooped, slightly surprised.
"There's still two more of us, and Dumb-Bell won't be down for long," Hoops growled.
"Yeah, but I didn't think I'd make it this far," he said, only to be hit in the throat by Score who came around to his side.
"Doesn't feel good getting hit by a cheap shot like that, does it?" Score asked seriously. "Now come on, just stay down so we can say we won and you don't actually get hurt too bad. We love to fight, but the last thing we want is to really hurt somepony. This started more as a workout for us, but now it's becoming a chore. We'd actually hate to do some lasting damage."
"If you hate to do lasting damage, why do you keep harassing Fluttershy?" Grif asked, panting heavily.
"Because our words won't do any lasting damage, feathers for brains."
"They won't, huh?" he mumbled, then lifted his back hoof and connected with the grappler's privates. "Dick."
Score started to scream, but within a second it became very high-pitched. While Score fell back, Hoops tried to flank him, but Grif opened his wing and slapped him to the side with it, making him fly into Dumb-Bell, waking him up. The pair quickly got back up and shook their head, jiggling their senses back into place as Score tried to get off the ground, holding himself.
"I thought you guys have been training," Grif said. With a heavy breath, he got back on his hooves and spat some blood onto the floor. "I know I'm used to getting the shit kicked out of me, but this is just sad. My grandmother could fight better than you."
"Why won't he stay down?" Dumb-Bell moaned, both out of fatigue and annoyance.
"Because I spend most of my time laying down. You've pissed me off enough to actually get up," he said, wiping his mouth. "And I'm used to being used as a meat-shield by others, especially when it comes to physical pain. If I can survive an insane dude with superpowers who took out a bunch of others who were trained in fighting, I can survive your sorry asses."
"Insane dude with superpowers?" Dumb-Bell paused, squinting at him. "What do you mean by that?"
"Don't listen to him, he's just trying to scare us off," Score muttered, limping between Hoops and Dumb-Bell. "He doesn't want his special somepony to be made fun of, so he's trying to make it so we'd be too afraid to-"
Score thought screeched to a halt as Grif glared at him. But it was not the glare that caught his attention, but rather the fact that his wings slowly began to turn into a dark-gray metal, feathers turning into rounded, sharp blades. The crowd around them were now focusing on him, scared but curious about what was happening.
"How are you doing that?" Hoops asked, a slight edge to his voice as he looked at the now metal wings.
"With an empty stomach, rage, and pixie farts," he said, folding his wings out. "Now I'm giving you one last chance. Give me some money to pay for my fries, back the hell off and go away. I know you want to prove how cool you are to everyone here since you clearly can't impress them with what little there is in your head, but I know that bitch Tex that kicked your asses. She used to kick the shit out of me at every chance she got, but now we're friends. While I'm not strong enough to keep you down, she is, and she'll be glad to do so again if I ask her."
"You know her?" Score shuddered, recalling about why they never wanted to return to Ponyville again.
"Yeah, and let's just say she knows how to bring pain to your amigos," Grif said, pointing near his crotch area. "So what's more important. Your pride, or your other pride?"
Looking around, Score looked at the crowd who was watching them, then looked at Grif and his metallic wings. He shook his head and turned around, folding his wings in, deciding it wasn't worth it. Dumb-Bell and Hoops followed his lead and walked into the crowd silently.
"You guys can stop looking at us too. The show is over," Grif said to the collective of pegasi, wings turning back to feathers.
He then turned turned around and walked to the booth, taking his seat back. He then grabbed a fry off the table and bit into it.
"Grif, that was so cool," Rainbow Dash whispered with a huge smile on her face. "I'm glad I got to see that!"
"I know," Grif said, then grunted and rubbed the back of his neck. "Might have a concussion from when I got slammed into the ground, though."
"Let's be honest, you've had far worse than a concussion before," Tucker said, pushing a drink to him. "Besides, if you do have one, I'm sure you'll just go to sleep and power-nap through it."
"That's probably true. Hey, did you manage to order me more fries?" he asked.
"Sorry, we were kind of distracted."
"Dammit, Tucker. You had one job."
TUCKER YOU HAD ONE JOB!!!! GRIFF IS COMING FOR YOU
Grif winning a fight. Alone. That's a first.
ONE JOB TUCKER THATS ALL GRIFF ASKED FOR!!
Badass Grif is badass. So do those wings also shoot grenades like the Grifshot?
DAMNIT, TUCKER.
You had one job tucker
Also badass griff for the fucking win
2365974 I think the griff shot fires rockets since they explode on impact.
ONE JOB TUCKER AND YOU FAILED TO DO IT, HOW MUCH MORE WORTHLESS CAN YOU GET, YOU CANT EVEN SEDUCE RAINBOW YOU FOOL!!!!
DAMNIT TUCKER! JUST ONE JOB AND BLEW IT!! REALLY MAN?!
Grif finally gets a few nut-shots in.
Vengeance is so sweet.
Was hoping for Grif to get hit in the dangly bits himself, only to shrug it off.
"How are you still standing? I just hit you in the-"
"Compared to some of the stuff my balls have been through, that might as well have been a handjob."
And the Grifshot makes an entrance. FUCK YEAH!
2365974
Maybe he can launch explosive feathers.
2365990 2365967 2365973 I think the waitress would hav been too distracted to take the order anyway
Grif has over shield!!!
2366005 Its akin to a grenade launcher. But that was awesome.
Tucker......I am disappointed in you.
Grifshot-wings? Awesome. Also, didn't the timberwolf... venom... stuff... back in MLC I give him some added resilience? That paired with years of Sarge's insane plans and surviving Tex and the Meta... it's no wonder he put up such a fight.
That was also a pretty good part, considering the fact that in some twisted-logic sort of way... it makes sense.
Grif's line right at the end there sealed the deal, this has been one of the most amazing chapters I've read. All that's left now is to see how quickly they all get permabanned from the place.
2366005 Many grenade launchers (both nowadays and presumably in the future) actually fire grenades that detonate on impact, such as the 40x46mm used in the modern-day Milkor MGL and M203 grenade launchers. They can be seen as more of an explosive projectile than a grenade, if you're looking at grenades in the more traditional sense.
Let that be a lesson to all, don't make fun of Fluttershy or eat someone elses fries.
Sounds like a joke from The mentally advanced abridged.
ONE JOB TUCKER!!!
*sees that the bandwagon is full*
SON OF A BITCH!!!
That last line made me chuckle
Dammit Tucker, you had one job!
Best line ever!
Too bad the Meta probably isn't alive. It would've been awesome to see how he would look, act, or even talk in Equestria
But Grif really jumped the ranks in my list of likable characters in this fic.
All of my YES. It felt a bit short, but was OOOH so SWEET!
lol, I actually thought he was going to get the shit beaten out of him.
2366506 Oh man! I would love to see the reactions on the three idiots faces if they had to fight a pony Meta ! I mean, seriously, even though it was with Wash's help, he pretty much killed Tex, and also threw back a warthog all on his lonesome!
You could have made him use the cone for one hit you know
Why did Grif's wings turn metal?
And now Fluttershy will likely clop to that image when she gets home...

Some of the guys retained traits of their iconic or main weapons which become a physical part of them. Tucker gets the energy sword which appear from his front hooves and make have electricity course through his body, Sarge's shotgun is part of his hooves which are basically 'Buckshot' rounds, Simmons has the rocket launcher missiles as a magic projectile, Church was shown to have his 'Lazer face' attack when he became alpha, and lastly Grif in this case has the
BruteGrifshot built into his wings (The bayonet blade).If you haven't figured out why so far:
----------------*SPOILERS!!!!*----------------
Grif stole the Meta's weapon way back in the Revelation season.
-------------------*****-------------------
Basically a lot the guys (Along side Grif- Finally!!-) are essentially more Badass.
...Then again even w/o great training or the bonuses they still have badass moments.
Later that night...
Tucker slowly climbed to bed, yawning and quickly falling asleep.
Grif stood over Tucker's sleeping body, holding a bloody knife. "One job..." Grif whispered. "You had one job..." He pressed the knife on Tucker's neck and...
"AHHH!" Tucker woke up. He looked at the beer bottle next to him and dropped it. "That's the last time I drink anything Grif gives me."
God, that was amazing.
I can't wait for Doc, Donut, Washington, and Sis to appear unless they don't then again I'd love to see more of their weapon based powers
Wait a minute... Wings, partly metal, partly real... Griff is now a silverhawk.
I'm going to go marathon my RVBX blu ray now, bye!
That was an awesome chapter!! One of the best :D would've liked to see a cone though, I do have a protect me cone T-shirt :')
2366994 yeah he called it the Grifshot, much to everyone's annoyance
lazy badass 3:stupid idots 0
2365357
True dat
2367462 You want to have one of the most advanced pieces of technology known to man, so you can hang it in your living room!
2367679
2367679
Well, okay, yeah, when you say it that way it sounds dumb.
2367980 That's because it IS dumb!
Screw you.guys I have the grif.shot and.its hunting time!!!
ONE JOB
It's 1am, I'm tired, and now the whole building has woken up because of that one, fucking, line.
Good god that laugh was badly out of control...
2365974 I think his wings are supposed to represent his driving abilities rather than the grif shot seeing as he discovered that could happen 7n the last story which came out before season 10.
Ah yeah I knew Grif would eventually get the power of the grifshot
2366013 I think it would be easier to seduse Rainbow than order fries
2370078
It's because he is basically as tough as Iron after that timberwolf bite.
2366039
Darkwing,
Puh-leaze make this happen!
