This story is a sequel to Buck My Life

About a year has passed since the human-turned-pony named Jason arrived in Equestria. The events of the past still haunt him and two certain alicorn sisters have noticed. They believe it is time to give the self-appointed protector of their kingdom a new start. He is less than agreeable however and feels as though their 'gift' is nothing but a royal pain in the neck. Join him on his journey through life as he tries to cope with the ponies around him, daily life, and this change that could very well give him exactly what he needs.

Growing up in the ruins of Fillydelphia, the orphan Spike is abducted by a group of six of the most dangerous mercenaries, bounty hunters, assassins, and roundabout crazy people in Badworld. The six have little interest in working with eachother, but a blackmailing Celesticorp and rival Luna Industries can make the life of any Badworld survivor tenuous at best.
Spike is stuck relying on his would-be captors if he wants to avoid Luna Industrie's subversive grasp.
Fortunately, Gilda always has an ace up her sleeves, or in this case a horse in her dreams.
A ragtag bunch of 'friends' is more than many have in the Badworld, but it's not always enough.
