The land of Equestria has been turned into a desert wasteland. And it's all Twilight Sparkle's fault! Dubbed the Cursed One by all ponykind, Twilight must now live in hiding to keep herself alive. Even her once close pony friends have abandoned her. The only one by her side is her number one assistant, Spike, who has becomes a gun wielding badass bounty hunter to keep her safe.
This story has no connection with what I call my TwiMacVerse. I've actually had this idea for a while. This also doesn't use anything from Season 3 as it has just started.
WARNING: This story contains some violence and strong language. Viewer discretion is advised.
Also I'm aware that this image of Spike won't match the description of him in the story. It was the coolest pic of him I could find at the time. If someone wants to draw him in a more cowboy style, go for it and send me a link and I just might make it the new cover pic. ^_^

Come with me, sir, I have something wonderful for you…
1651386 Is this good or bad?
1651391 Very good.
Don't censore yourself, it makes you look like a dumbfuck.
1651398 Glad to hear. Your comment was a bit vague.
1651399 Kay, it's fixed.
1651409 There we go! This was a nice story, not the best, but nice. 6.9/10.
1651399 I was JUST looking at your profile!
1651409 You have a Skype? I can call you in an hour or so to explain what this is.
Also, Regi, you seem like a good guy to have on this. One to keep my shit in check. You have a Skype as well?
1651428 How'd you like it?
.....Why do your stories bring me in a happy ass mood?
I suggest a collaboration!!!
1651417 Well I wasn't going for a masterpiece. I just got the idea a while back and finally decided to write it. I always liked the idea of Spike growing up to be some sort of cowboy bounty hunter type.
1651431 It was pretty cool, all that Nirvana stuff.

Don't bounty hunters also have bounties on them ?
1651722 I suppose you have a point there. I haven't totally thought about that yet. Also Fluttershy isn't really a bounty hunter, and the most trouble she causes is making sure her animals are safe. Course I suppose someone out there might want her to be brought in.
1651747
But you do know the most interesting thing about some bounties ?
Some clients want their targets alive.
Intresting... getting a watch to see how it turns out
1651471 Ah, I see it now. That's a real goofy smile.
1651776 Don't worry, I bring that up in the next chapter.
JJ (John Joesco) did the cover art by the way.
1652006 Thank you, I wasn't really sure as I found it at random one day online. I'll be sure to give credit.
umm....that last sentence confused me with the wording.....maybe it should be switched.
1652033 Which sentence?
1652099 umm one sec i need to find it again also i'll be sending you a pm later for some other things
1652099 this one...
Her only protector became her number one assistant.
Her number one assistant became her only protector.
see the difference?
1652247 oops
1652033 fixed
1652427 alright
also any ideas and help you need i'll be willing
, also do you already have an idea for spike's first bounty hunt or latr ones cuz i have an idea for one....and yes he is a past oc of mine and this is the only fic so far with the perfect setting 
1652484 I hadn't really thought of elaborating on his first bounty, unless I bring up later in a flashback or something.
1652484 But I may tweak the newest chapter I'm working on.
1652509 so yep imma pm you now
1652531 My internet lingo isn't so great, what's pm mean? And if you wanna tell me about this character, you can type about him on here or send me a private message about him.
1652551 hehehe sorry
pm or P.M means private message, but yea i'll send you his info.
i'll say one thing about him here.....he is a pacifist
1652589 That's ok, I just don't use a whole lot of abbreviations. A pacifist in a savage wasteland? Sounds interesting.
1652617 Yeah i can tell.
1652509 i sent you a message XD
This is what I picture Spike sounding like now.
Listen to the opening narration.
nice very nice....now i can't wait for the big boys to come out to play since all spike is getting is small bounties.
Chapters are short, concise, lacking in detail, and displaying feelings and thoughts rather well in a few short sentences.
This, it makes for an excellent read. Do continue.
1653786 Thanks. I never felt the need to use an excruciating amount of details. Plus I imagine this will span a lot of chapters, so I might as well keep them short when need be.
