Ponyville's Biggest Threat

by MLPkillers


An Assassin's Job!

“Well, this must be the place.”

Looking at the Rock Farm with a sinister grin. Comber teleported to the right of the barn. That had to be where the Pie’s was at. He looked at the home. He walked over and gently knocked on the door.

(”If they don’t answer, then they must’ve gone off somewhere?”)

Comber thought although he could use magic to see through the home. Comber used his magic to open the bag concealed underneath his cape. He wanted to be ready just in case of an answer. The door squeaked open.

“Yeah! What you want!?”

The rudeness of the pony is smothering; not like Pinkie Pie at all. How she comes from such a turbulent family?

“Is this the Pies’ residence? I’ve been sent to give you and your sisters a message.”

He knew that was Limestone Pie. He needed the other two to be drawn in; then he might be able to get them outside.

“I’m here to see You, Maud, and Marble. Can I?”

Maud! Marble! There’s a stallion here to consult with us!

Marble and Maud accompanied Limestone at the door. They looked dusty; spring cleaning Comber thought. He made his way to the field; confusing Limestone Pie; didn’t he just want to see her and her sisters?

“Can you mares come over here for a sec? I got tragic news to tell you...”

The assassin said with grief, his expression supporting his mood, this will deceive them.

“Fine, let’s get this done with!”

Limestone bluntly said with boredom in her tone; this better be important.

“Um, doesn’t this seem a little... Fishy?”

Marble’s shy tone took the attention of her sisters. Yeah, this did seem to be... “Fishy,” but, what if this is tragic news? What if something had happened to their mother and father?

Limestone Walked over to Comber’s position. Giving him a nasty look. She turned to her sisters.

“Come on girls!”

Maud and Marble Limestone again accompanied Limestone at her side.

“What’s this about?”

“Were you girls doing spring cleaning?”

“Yes! We were!... Until to showed up!...”

(”What’s with this pony’s attitude?”)

“Ahem! Alright, sorry to get off-topic: “Do you happen to know Pinkamena Dana Pie?”

Comber’s question startled the sisters. Pinkie Pie never told anypony her real name; everypony calls her Pinkie Pie; besides their mother and father; who do call her by that... Name, unless her name got around from them, which they doubt since nopony ironically in Ponyville would know who that is.

“How do you know that name!?”

Limestone spoke with Eerie in her tone.

“Pinkie Pie never told ponies her real name!!”

“Well, you see the terrible news is...”

Grabbing a knife out of his bag with his magic. Limestone saw the blade shine. She tried to react, but the delay was too much; her reaction time was too little. Comber stabbed the knife into Limestone’s jawbone. It penetrated the front lobe of the brain. The other sisters startled back; Marble falling on her rear end. She looked at the gruesome sight. Tears formed in her eyes. She just lost her sister.

“Marble!! Run! It’s a trap! You Were Right!”

Marble was stunned with horror, nearly paralyzed to move. Maud sprinted over to Marble; forcing her up. Marble regained her senses, she started to sprint along with her older sister. They both attempted to escape Comber’s clutches.

(”Runners are all the same”)

Comber thought to himself. Grabbing Maud by her back hoofs with his magic. Tossing her over by him. Marble stopped and turned to her oldest sister. She looked like a fallen bird. Comber stood over her. Maud swiftly got up and attacked the assassin; he dodged the attack, keeping that pace. Maud was thinking about Limestone Pie. This was her chance to take revenge and make him pay for what he just did. Comber yanked his knife from Limestone’s jaw with magic; the mandible looked like it was only being held on by the skin. The knife hovered over to Comber; he grasped it while dodging. He teleported away; Maud punched the air very hard instead.

“You should just let this be over, it’s inevitable.”

Comber told Maud with boredom in his tone.

“Marble! Run!”

Comber Teleported and stabbed Maud in the chest; the knife penetrating the right side of the heart. She will die in a minute; that being the latest.

“Wh-why...”

Her tone sounded weak, it was a submission in Comber’s eyes. He saw her eyes turn pale before punching her in the neck; slicing the knife upwards, then out of the neck.

Marble started to weep, watching her two beloved sisters die. She remembered what Maud told her to do. She started to run as fast as she could to Ponyville, She thought she could get help, and make this colt pay. Marble Pue underestimates this assassin. Comber noticed Marble Pie run, letting her run out into an open field, in the middle of nowhere. He cleaned his knife and put it back in his bag before Walking over to Limestone’s body. Comber put a hoof on Limestone’s chest, feeling for a heartbeat, not feeling a heartbeat, he then started walking over to Maud, seeing her breath.

“You’re a stubborn one, aren’t you”

“Yes-to resist you, and-and stay alive!”

Maud said in pain, trying her best to stay alive; even though it was not going to change the outcome.

“Do you know how many jobs I’ve received?”

The assassin asked, feeling a tiny bit of sorrow for his target.

“N-no. Why...?”

Maud asked before spitting out blood. She wasn’t going to die suffocating on her own blood.

“Why what?”

Comber asked in confusion; he had an idea what she was going to ask.

“Have you... Been hired to... Kill us?”

“The reason wasn’t given. Most likely due to your family’s rudeness, but you seem to be normally the calm one.”

Maud took this as an insult. He invited us to our deathbed early basically and he says the reason he’d been hired is because of their attitude? He’s ruder than they are.

“Aren’t, you the one who’s... Killing us... Aren’t you ruder?”

Maud attempted to say in a sarcastic tone but failed to sound sarcastic.

“I’m serious.”

The tone in his voice confirmed he was serious. Maud closed her eyes in defeat. She succumbed to her wound. She joined Limestone. Comber gave her a straight face with a tiny bit of sorrow.

---

(”Did I... Escaped...?”)

Marble Pie Looked behind her, then turned back around, bumping into Comber’s chest. Looking up with eyes full of tears. Her answer was not what she liked.

“Aw, what’s the sad look for?”

Comber softens his voice. Giving her a cunning stare.

“AHH! You killed my sisters!”

Walking backward from Comber. She was terrified of this Assassin; at the same time, the fire scorched high, and her rage burned in her.

“So runner, are we doing this the hard way or the easy way?”

Comber bluntly asked with confidence. Marble was thinking about her sister’s death more, filling her with rage. She remembered the time when they all joined Pinkie in Ponyville; it was fun. Tears started to flow down her cheeks as she remembered them laughing because of Pinkie Pie after making the rock candies with her and the rest of her sisters. The assassin, this assassin took it all away. She would never see her sisters again. All this was frustrating, but most of all... Anger! Marble attacked the assassin, connected a punch to Comber’s jaw, bombarding him with consecutive Punches; Shocking the assassin; Marble started gasping for air.

“You shouldn’t have done that to my sisters!!!...”

Charging the assassin with fury. Comber disappeared behind Marble, swiping her hind legs, causing her to fall on her face. Marble tried to get up but was slammed back down by her head, giving her a concussion.

“This was fun and all...”

Casting a heal spell. Eliminating all hope for Marble Pie. Marble started to cry.

“Why, sob! Why are you doing this!?”

Marble asked with complete despair.

“Because...”

Comber’s tone was again cunning. He lifted her by the front of her mane.

“Let me put this in a way You comprehend.”

Connecting a shocking hoof punch to her nose, causing it to bleed.

“Somepony didn’t like you.”

Grabbing the knife he used to kill her sisters with; it will do the same to her.

“Any last words... Marble Pie?”

“Mon-monster.”

Comber stabbed the knife into Marble’s chest, pulling the blade down to her torso. Pulling the knife out, then pushing her over with a devious smile.

(”Well, my work here is done.”)

Comber finished his job, he was a tiny bit regretful as he he was satisfied. This wasn't fun at all for him. A job is a job.

(”Who’s next?”)

Grabbing a watch out of the bag; putting it on and activating it; Comber looked at the pony with surprise. Somepony wanted her dead? The Pony was a yellow Pegasus with pink and a pink Mane corresponding to her tail. Comber looked at her cutie mark and saw 3 pink butterflies. Comber knew who that was. He laughed with disbelief.

(”I don’t know why anypony would want to kill her this badly; a job’s a job though; no more Elements of Harmony I guess.”)

Comber Teleported to his next target location, still wondering why somepony would want that pegasus dead. Been awhile since he knew a very kind pegasus.
