The Quiet Kid: Day by Day

You Can Trot on For a long Time...

William locked gazes with the Chancellor. Snarling with anger as the slowly approached the arrogant stallion.

"Just try, I could have the royal guard here in an instant-"

"Shut up." William said, the tone in his voice was raspy, he was still partially limping from the unfortunate fall earlier. A Mossberg 590 appeared in his hands, not the most effective shotgun in the world, but it would be more than sufficient for what he intended to do with it. As he expected. Twilight tried to stop him.

"William, think about this for a moment, he hasn't done anything wrong-"

"Quiet! I've had enough of your bantering for now. I've been neglected, harassed, and most recently, dropped from 2 stories up. I'm way past calm. And I'm not taking my anger out on him...He's done nothing wrong, it's you, you- you Equestrians!" He stepped over Twilight, and looked him right in the eyes, his pupil's were full of terror.

"How pathetic, you know, I never made an oath to defend this world, or to uphold good. Go, get a head start if you please, I ####ing dare you." With one fluid, practiced movement, he racked the shotgun in one hand. Once more hearing the sound of a fresh incendiary round seat itself in the chamber.

"II-I'm sorry..." The chancellor murmured.

"To late." To the horror of the crowd, he raised the shotgun, and brought it's synthetic stock down on the unicorns muzzle. He breathed out a sigh of relief as he did. As soon as he had, the weapon disappeared from sight. he crouched down on one knee and bent over to chancellor, somehow still upright, but clutching his bloody muzzle in shock as to what had just happened.

"No, I'm sorry, I never wanted this to happen, I'm still a big fan of ponies." He grabbed the unicorns hoof and gave it a single, firm, yet sarcastically long shake, then swiveled back to the crowd and clapped.

"So, cake?" About half the ponies in the crowd collapsed where they stood. He peered over at Twilight, who seemed to be taking what he had just done to the deserving chancellor, quite well. Like, shockingly well.

"Ya welcome. "He whispered.

"Was awesome! Yak did not think pony school was this awesome! Maybe come here self!" He heard the yak chief call out.

"Glad someone appreciates me. " He limbed back over to Joey, who was still wiping the tears from his muzzle.

"You did nothing wrong, get up, I'm not going to coddle you." He told his friend.

"Yes. I am." The alicorn sniffled, and got to his hooves, wondering why William hadn't yelled at him more.

"Heh, guess I was right, looks like the Quiet Kid's got a bit of loyalty in him after all."

"The hell did you just say?"

"Nothing."

"Hey, you! Don't think you're getting off easy!" He turned to the 5.

"Uhh, is we're sorry enough?"

"Damnit, y'all are to competent to be terminated. You can stay." Resulting in a collecting of weak, confused smiles. He looked back at the Chancellor. Who was still in the process of being bandaged up.

"This school is closed." Taking Twilight off guard.

"This will never happen ever again, I promise."

"Regardless of promises, you failed to meet E.E.A standards, irresponsible teachers, students skipping class, endangering ponies, and... HIM!" He jabbed a hoof at William, who promptly responded with a raised middle finger.

"You let a manic on school grounds, oh, when Celestia hears about this..."

"It's just that, she ain't gonna hear about it, understood?" He patted his holster, where his trusty Glock 19 lay.

"Regardless, this school is still closed. And it's not just your fault, and you, get out off here!" He turned to the group of diplomats, and began jeering at them. As William expected, one by one, they left. He scowled, there wasn't a point in being happy anymore. The way things went in this world, Twilight would get her school back. No matter how hard William despised the idea of it. To his surprise, the Unicorn turned back to the damaged school. He tapped the seal on his robe, and horn began to glow bright orange.

"Oh no you don't, William drew his Glock, laid the horn in between the pistols sites, and pulled the trigger, again, and again, and again, it was to late, the spell activated, and a set of magical chains encompassed the school, sealing the main doors. The flash loose magic from the spells activation had made Williams 3 round burst, which ad been aimed at the unicorns horn go high, slamming harmlessly into the treeline beyond.

"By order of the E.E.A, I am shutting this school down!" He collapsed in pain from the bruise on his muzzle. William walked up to him.

"You- You saw what I just did right? you don't scare me." His quivering spoke otherwise.

"I'll see you in Tartarus." He took aim aim at the star at the highest point of the school, steadied his hands. And opened fire, expending the remaining 12 FMJ rounds in the magazine. Of the 12 rounds, 7 struck the star, 5 went wide, impacting the mountain beyond, of the 7 that hit, 2 struck the center. As soon as he completed his show of force, he hit the magazine release with slightly more force then necessary. The spent mag disappeared just before it hit the ground as a fresh one appeared in his hand, inserting in into the chamber, he cycled the action, and placed the weapon back in his holster, the who 'demonstration' lasted all of 12 seconds. Leaving the six, Joey, the Chancellor, and the remaining ponies with looks of confusion, amazement, and horror plastered across their adorable equine faces.

"Ah, stress relief, just what I needed, that's why." A hatchet appeared in his hands. He turned away from the school, and mad for the confection table, scooping up a piece of chocolate cake with his gloves. He bit into it.

"Mmm, that's good cake, whoever made this, I commend you." He turned around, walked to the front door. And waited, eating his cake as he did.

"Well." The chancellor said, clearing his throat, "Until next time." He disappeared in a flash of white light. William took one good, long stare at the magical lock.

"Magic, meet Quiet Kid." He stuffed the rest of the cake into his mouth, and began violently hacking away at the lock.
