"You don't have to be so much of a pushover you know." Grif said. "You should try being a bit more... assertive."
"Oh no, I tried that before." Fluttershy said sadly. "I took a class but it turned me into a monster."
"I'm not saying turn into an asshole, I'm just saying say no once or twice..." Grif trailed off, "Say, is that Sarge?"
Sarge, Caboose, Pinkie, Applejack and Big Mac then appeared on the other side of the market.
"We're almost there." Applejack said.
"My legs are tired." Caboose said. "Stop it legs."
"Quit your groaning Caboose." Sarge grunted.
Just then, the stallion that had lost the bet at the eating contest stood in their way.
"Mind moving kid? We're trying to get somewhere." Sarge said.
"You owe me some bits." The stallion said.
"Oh? And who are you?" Sarge laughed.
"My name is not important to you old colt." The stallion said. "Now I suggest you pay your due or this could get really ugly really fast."
"I don't owe you anything, so I suggest you step out of the way." Sarge grunted, glaring at the stallion.
"You threw that competition and you know it." The stallion snarled. "Because of that I lost my money. So, as I said, pay now or I can't be held accountable for what I might do."
"It's not my fault you were an idiot. Besides, we didn't know anypony was actually betting on who would win."
"Yeah... well, you and those other hicks are going to pay me for my loss."
Sarge glared at the stallion and his left eye twitched. "Hey Big Mac? How about we show this kind, young stallion some good old-fashioned Apple family hospitality."
"Eeyup." Big Mac replied with a smile.
Big Mac then walked behind the stallion and hoisted him up, holding him so he couldn't move.
"Hey, what the-" The stallion said, struggling to break free.
"You can say what you want about me, but you made a serious mistake." Sarge said, turning around.
"P-Please... Please don't!" The stallion said. "I'm sorry, I'll leave you alone I swear!"
"That's not going to help you now." Sarge said with a smirk.
Sarge brought his legs back and kicked the stallion in the chest. The kick created a large flash and sent Big Mac and the stallion flying backwards. The force of the blow made a large noise, one that was very close to Sarges heart.
"Sarge that sounded like your shotgun-type thingy!" Caboose said.
"I know, I heard." Sarge laughed, smiling wickedly.
Sarge walked up to Big Mac and helped him up.
"Sorry about that big guy. I guess I don't know my own strength." Sarge said with a laugh.
"My chest! Oh Celestia, my chest!" The stallion moaned, rolling back and forth.
Sarge then turned his attention to the stallion who was on the ground, clutching his chest.
"You going to apologize for that remark son?"
"I'm sorry." The stallion said. "I'm so sorry sir."
"Not to me you idiot." Sarge said, backing up allowing him to see Big Mac and Applejack.
"I'm extremely sorry about calling you hicks. It won't happen again I swear." The stallion groaned, stumbling to get up.
"Glad to see everything is well." Sarge said, turning his gaze to the stallion. "Now get the hell out of my sight before you get Sarge'd again."
The stallion promptly stood up, still clutching his chest, which was now bright red, with one hoof. He looked at Sarge and then started speed walking away.
"Thanks for sticking up for us Sarge." Applejack said.
"Don't mention it. Nobody disrespects any reds. Except me." Sarge finished with a hearty laugh
"That was amazing!" Caboose then looked at Sarge’s side. "Hey Sarge you're getting one of those thingies."
"What are you talking about?" Sarge asked, looking at his flank. “Oh...”
A symbol was starting to appear on his flank. It took a couple seconds, but soon it was clear. It was a red shield, but with a pair of hooves kicking a pony in the chest embedded onto it. Sarge stared at his mark for several seconds and started to smile.
"My true talent is hurting others?" Sarge asked, still grinning. "I had a feeling it would be something amazing. Where's Grif when you need him?"
"Congratulations Sarge." Applejack said, extending her hoof which Sarge met.
"Hey Sarge! We should start calling you Buck Shot!" Caboose said excitedly.
Sarge glanced at Caboose, then back to his cutie mark.
"You know Caboose, that ain't half bad." Sarge said. "S-dog was getting a bit old, I think I'll retire that name."
"Sarge that was pretty fucking awesome." Grif said, walking up to Sarge.
"Grif? What the hell are you doing here? I didn't expect to see you ever again." Sarge said. "I expected you to be sleeping all day for the rest of your life."
"I was just giving Fluttershy a little help."
"I think this is the most work I've ever seen you do. Ever." Sarge said.
Grif shook his head, trying to get his head clear. "Woah, that was weird. Now I need to work on bringing my average back down." Grif yawned. "Hey Fluttershy, mind if I go back to your place to crash?"
"Well, we got the food so we were about to go back anyways." Fluttershy said.
"Great, time to catch some Z's" Grif said with a small laugh. Grif then looked at the tall red stallion. "Who's the big dude?"
"That's Big Mac." Sarge said.
Sarge then turned his side to Grif.
"Hey Grif, look what I got." Sarge said.
"Sarge, no offense but I really don't want to look at your ass." Grif said, shielding his eyes and looking away.
"Not my ass you moron, my mark thing." Sarge grunted.
"Oh, good job Sarge." Grif said, looking closely at it. "What did you get it for- GAHH!" Grif then found himself flying through the air with a heavy pain in his chest. "Ow my chest!" Grif moaned. "What the hell was that for?"
"You asked how I got it." Sarge said, letting out a hearty laugh. "So I showed you."
"Why am I not surprised your special talent is hurting people?" Grif asked, trying to stand up. "Come on Fluttershy, I need to sleep off this pain."
"Oh okay." Fluttershy said, trying to ease some of the burden off of Grif by putting his front leg around her neck.
Saw Sarge's talent coming from a mile off. Was expecting him to gain it from Grif though, not a random civilian. Still he did use it on Grif in the end, so all is well.
Now I think of Episode 3 of Season 8 on Red vs Blue
Way to go
Dangit! I hadn't even finished my first chapter and I find this!
306002
We ALL knew it was coming
306017
Thank you sir
306066
Sorry about that
Buck Shot. I would have never thought of that.
306454
Sounds like a name for a fighter pony doesn't it?
Buck shot awesome nickname. Now to include my favorite ammo Dragons breath where sarge's hooves light on fire. That's just my fantasy there.
This... is... AWSOME! I've always wanted to see the Blood Gulch gang in MLP! This is so cool!
12PM here and i'm reading a bunch of stories about colorful ponies right now, what am I doing with my life?
Hilarious. Can't wait to see what the others' special talents will be.
One thing that I noticed: last line says "trying to ease some of the burden off of Grif by putting his arm over her shoulder."
I think that ponies' front limbs are technically legs. You might want to go back and fix anything like this.
306738
Yeah I really didn't know what to call them, so I'll go through later and try and catch them all.
Grif is the only one who I don't have plans for in regards to the cutie mark, and I don't want to make it just something like 'zzz' or a hammock because it would be way too obvious, even more so than Sarges
306498 Eh How ya been man? /)
306900 Good luck man
It'll be more funny if he combined O'malley and doc together but i don't see how that'll be possible as a pony. Multiple personality disorder? and wonder if somehow Tucker's kid came in and ruins Tucker's moment.
This could be a great Rom-Com
309011
Doc and Wash are planned to make an appearance quite a bits away
But O'Malley is going to have an influence soon.
His special ability is to kick flank?
I can see that...
Aww, I was hoping for a shotgun for a leg cutie mark, grindhouse style. Still pretty damn epic though
306753 Forelegs usually works for me.
"Now get the hell out of my sight before you get Sarge'd again." haha awesome
306454
and the worst: Caboose was the one who came up with it
Buck Shot? I see what you did there.
"Sarge, no offense but I really don't want to look at your ass." Grif said, shielding his eyes and looking away.
"Not my ass you moron, my mark thing." Sarge grunted.
"Oh, good job Sarge." Grif said, looking closely at it. "What did you get it for- GAHH!" Grif then found himself flying through the air with a heavy pain in his chest. "Ow my chest!" Grif moaned. "What the hell was that for?"
So much lol.
I was hoping Sarge's cutie mark would be a shotgun, but this is great too.
I LOVED it, he got his cutie mark like hurts people two pains in the chest. God I love this story.
Nopony disrespects the Apple family. They founded this town, and if you say anything negative about them, there will be hell to pay.
Wait. They were blank-flanks? Why didn't anypony notice? Why didn't the Crusaders do anything about it? Why didn't the Crusaders' bullies give their say? Although they'd probably get their flanks kicked.
Buck Shot is best pony
as the word of the Carmines "Sweat."
YJGS
(You Just Got Sarge'd)
Thank you RvB for your PSA's
For pure epicness, and the fact that everyone saw coming I am giving you your 7th fluttershy.
"Now get the hell out of my sight before you get Sarge'd again."

Can't help but think that when writing this, DarkWing was doing three things at the computer:
1. Doing some sort of drug, preferably weed.
2. Listening to every episode of RvB ever.
3. Watching MLP on the TV.
Holy crap did caboose think of something?
Buck Shot...
BUCK SHOT!!!!!
...
sheer genious...
every time he kicks some one i will have a recording of a shot gun blast then him saying " you just got sarged" also " how about a tasty lead sandwitch with a side of sarge ( BOOM) hold the life and the mayo"
I can't no I wont believe it Caboose actually

Godamnit...
Damn it Sarge
PURE. FUCKING. GENIUS!
Still listening to the red team's jeep music. I've got to say, I've added something else to my bucket list. Ride in a real warthog with 2 friends, all of us in spartan armor, one red, one maroon, and one orange, play this music, then go on a road trip.
Soon after, I shall realize soon after that nothing in my like shall easily surpass this moment in greatness
Unless I get to meet the red vs blue cast while doing this
4740364 tell me the name of the music so I may do that
You got Sarge'd!
My true talent is hurting others? Best cutie mark ever!
4934717 It doesn't have a name, just look up "RvB jeep music" and it'll be the first video.
5138253 I think it was more protecting others, but hurting people makes sense too.
4740364 I'll gladly join you.
