//------------------------------// // Chapter 4: The Vigilante // Story: Equestria Ninja Girls: Justice or Punishment? // by LoganRyder //------------------------------// The next day, after Frank had spent the day hanging out with the Rainbooms and the boys, he had began to slowly get up from his sleep and looked at the clock. "Morning already?" Frank said Frank began to get off his bed and get ready to wake up. He then looked at his closet and wore his signature black shirt with his skull vest along with his tactical pants and shoes. As soon as he did, he pulled out a black half mask and said "Well, if I'm gonna go patrolling, may as well go out unnoticed." He placed the mask on his mouth like a half face mask, tied it back and left the apartment and closed the door, locking it. He then began to leave the building. Now outside, Castle walked around the city and thought to himself with a frown. "Even though I'm in a different universe. That doesn't mean I won't let the scum in the world walk free and hurt someone here. It's time for the Punisher.....to punish the guilty." As Frank walked, he began to look around and saw different shops and buildings around the city. "Come on, again?!" A female voice said in annoyance Frank turned and saw a older woman near a dark blue car. She had light skin and dark and light blue hair while wearing a purple shirt with a white collar with a moon symbol along woth dark blue pants and shoes with a purple and white design. Her car's tire had been flattened and she had trouble trying to fix it. Castle saw the woman struggle to fix the car wheel and began to walk to her. "Need a hand?" Frank asked The woman looked up and saw the skull wearing man giving a look of curiosity. "Yes please, my car has a flat tire and I need help getting to work." The woman said Frank saw the car had a flat tire on the left and began to remove the screws first holding the wheel and slowly removed it. He then removed the tire cover and grabbed the one the woman was trying to put on and slowly put it on the wheel. After that had been done, Frank proceeded to reattach tge wheel back in place and screwed it back in. "Thanks for the help." The woman said "No problem." Frank said "Oh, by the way, my name is Luna." The woman, now known as Luna, told Frank "Names Frank." Castle replied "Thank you Frank." Luna said with a smile. Castle nodded in response, and he made his way. As soon as Frank continued to walk, he only thought to himself. "Ok, even though I may be in another dimension of some kind similar to my world, that doesn't mean I won't stop searching for answers or stop the scum that walk around hurting the innocent. But first.....I need some tools." Frank only continued to walk his way down the street...until a crash was heard. "Sounds like trouble." Frank said, quietly heading to the source of the sound. The Punisher slowly walked and saw the sound came from. The sound lead him to an nearby alleyway, where he saw at surprising sight. A woman and her daughter were surrounded by at least 5 thugs. "Hand over your stuff ya little brats!" One thug said threatningly. "No way jerks!" The woman said defiantly, holding her daughter. "Oh yeah?! Your funeral!" Another thug said, pulling out a gun. Seeing the scene, Castle stealthily walked behind the thugs and grabbed a brick. He then smashed one thugs head with it. "What the?!" Another thug shouted in shock. Punisher then roundhouse kicked a thug on the left and threw him into another. The other two saw and the 4th thug said "Get him!" They charged at him together, but Punisher jumped over them and grabbed them by the back of their shirts and smashed their heads together. He finished the dazed remaining thugs by smashing them to the hard ground and savagely kicking them hard in the head to the ground. The Punisher grabbed their weapons and went over to the mother and daughter. "You two ok?" Punisher asked The little girl hugged the vigilante and the woman gave a grateful look to the Punisher. "Thank you mister!" The child said in tears of happiness. "Your a hero! Thank you so much!" The woman said with a smile "You both should get home, it's not safe here." Punisher comforted They nodded and left the area, Punisher then glared at the thugs and said while pulling out the first thug's gun. "Time for you to be PUNISHED." Punisher said. Gunshots were heard and then there was silence..... Punisher was heading back out and quietly left the area. "Even though I did some work, that doesn't mean should be careful, I should get prepared and arm myself while finding some answers as to why I'm here and how to get home." Punisher thought. Punisher only continued to discreetly leave the area and continue his patrolling. An unknown figure was watching Punisher leave the area and spoke on a phone. "He's made an first impression here already. What should I do?" The figure said "The Punisher always kills criminals, maybe we can draw those pesky girls and those annoying turtles to him and get them to deal with him. " "And if he finds out where you are?" The figure asked "Then we'll create a diversion to draw him away and make sure we don't have to deal with him. In the meantime, keep observing what's going on. I'll decide what resources are necessary to deal with him. " "Sure boss." The figure said before leaving. Castle was back in his apartment and removed his mask and vest. He placed his vest on a table "Well, lets see what I found." Frank said Castle emptied his pockets and pulled out the weapons and items he confiscated. They were two guns, two knives and at least a pair of brass knuckles. Aside from that, he took was a phone along with some money. "I'm not one for stealing, but for scum, I'll make an exception." Frank said He said the items aside and began to head to his bed to rest....
