Frank was in his apartment, having created a board with pictures of Bullseye, Tiger-Claw, The girls and turtles lined together. He only gave a look confusion and said
"The Shredder. Wonder who that could be?" Punisher said confused
As Frank continued to study the pictures, he went to another room and used a computer. He began typing on the keyboard and began to look with a look of curiosity.
"Whoa. Looks like Canterlot City has some events to talk about. Hopefully not Avengers level events." Punisher/Frank Castle said
Frank continued to look at the events of Canterlot City and then began to do some digging on the events. As he did, he saw something that made his eyes widen.
(With the Rainbooms and turtles)
The girls and the turtles (in human disguise) were in the school of Canterlot High and were in the cafeteria. They only continued eating as they spoke to each other.
"I can't believe Shredder is back." Mikey said
"Hold it Mikey, we don't know that for sure." Sunset said
"Plus, for all we know, Tiger Claw could be lying." Applejack added
"Yeah, Shredder can't be back. It's been a long time since we faced him." Rainbow Dash said with reluctance.
As they talked with one another, a young girl blonde hair and a muffin in her hands. As she walked, she suddenly tripped and her muffin fell out of her hand.
"Whoa! My muffin!" The girl said
The muffin was close to falling on the floor, until a hand caught the muffin, handing it back to the girl, who gave a look of surprise.
"Here kid."
The girl looked up to see who caught her muffin......Frank Castle......the Punisher.
"Oh! Thank you sir."
She took her muffin and began to walk off eating it. As she did, this hadn't gone unnoticed by the girls, who were surprised to see Castle. Even the other students noticed him as he headed to the Rainbooms.
"Frank? What are you doing here?" Sunset asked
"Just came to stop by and visit. I had some free time and I thought I'd get to know the place better." Frank said.
"Well you came at a good time Frankie! We can show you around CHS since we already did show you around the city." Pinkie added with a happy smile.
"Well, it couldn't hurt." Applejack said
The others agreed and began to finish eating as they went up to Frank and led him out the cafeteria.
The girls and their human disguised friends had led the vigilante around the school, as they did, Frank only gave a look of suspicion.
"Someone else is watching us. The girls and their friends may be helping me, but someone else is monitoring us."
Frank looked around and noticed an unknown person in a hoodie looking at them and following them while avoiding other students carefully.
"And over here is the music room!" Pinkie said, opening a door.
Inside was a classroom with instruments and other types of musical instruments and there were a few students inside using different instruments. Frank gave a look of impressed surprise and said
"Nice."
As Frank looked, he saw a guitar and began to think of his late daughter when he taught her how to play the guitar. Seeing the instrument, Frank walked toward it and grabbed the guitar off the rack.
Castle began to play the instrument slowly and closed his eyes as he played. The girls began to take notice as he played.
"Wow, he knows how to play guitar?" Donnie asked
"And he plays it so smoothly too." Fluttershy said with a heart-warming smile.
As Castle played, not only were the girls and ninja impressed by his playing, but some students who entered the music room were giving impressed smiles and compassion at him playing of the guitar.
"Dude, nice playing." One student (Flash Sentry) said with a grin
"Oh my darling. That was beautiful." Rarity complimented
"Bro. You have to teach me to do that." Another student (Microchips) acknowledged.
Frank stopped playing the guitar and put it back on the rack. He then turned to the girls and asked
"Anything else to show me?" Frank asked
Pinkie nodded and said "Yuppers Frankie! Follow me!"
Frank got up and noticed the figure was now outside watching him from a school window, but he decided to bide his time until it was right to strike. With a final glance, Frank said
"Lead the way."
The girls continued to show Frank around the school. From the cafeteria to the classrooms, Frank had even met a few of the students and became well acquainted with them. Eventually, Frank had began to head to restroom and began to do his business. Frank began to hear footsteps and slowly opened the stall door in the stall he was in. He saw the same hooded figure from before and gave a look of recognition.
"You again?" Frank whispered, seeing the figure.
The figure was using a sink and Frank stealthily walked behind them slowly and quietly. As soon as he was close, he grabbed the figure by the throat.
"Who are you?" Frank asked
"What's it to you?" The figure said
The Punisher tightened his grip on the person's throat harder and asked in a more menacing tone.
"Why. Are. You. FOLLOWING ME? "
The figure kicked Frank back and pulled out two blades. They then charged at him, but the Punisher then roundhouse kicked the person back into a stall door, he then landed a brutal blow to the person's chest and then the left leg.
As they fought, Frank managed to remove the hood the figure wore and what he saw surprised him.
"What the?" Frank said
The person was revealed to be a humanoid fox on two legs armed in ninjitsu like attire. The fox only pulled out two sickles and said
"So. You are the feared Punisher I have heard of." The fox said
"And you are?" Castle asked
"You may call me Alopex."
"Let me guess. Shredder sent you to kill me?"
Alopex gave a look of little suprise and confusion.
"What? No. He is dead, the turtles and those girls killed him. I'm here because you murdered my brother." Alopex said, readying her weapons
Frank only gave a confused look, not just because of what she mentioned of her brother, but because of how she said the Shredder was dead.
"Brother?" Punisher said.
"His name was Tiger Claw."
Punisher looked at her and then recalled his fight with Bullseye.
"No offense Alopex. But your brother worked with a psycho who was a monster. He even killed innocent people with Tiger Claw."
"Shut up!" Alopex said, continuing her attack.
She tried to attack with her sickles, but the Punisher countered by pulling out a combat knife and karambit from his pants pockets. The two continued to duke it out and despite Punisher landing a cut on her cheek and chest while evading her slashes and attacks from her sickles, she landed a brutal kick to his chest and knocked him down on the cold floor. She then jumped on him and prepared to kill him, with some tears in her eyes.
"Any last words?" Alopex asked
"Do it." Frank asked
The blunt statement from the vigilante surprised the fox kunoichi into saying
"W-what?"
"I said do it. I lost my wife and children and everything I cared about. You'll be doing us both a favor."
Alopex looked at the Punisher. She saw the seriousness in his eyes and tone and saw a broken shell of a man who now radiated misery and anger. She then readied the killing blow and lunged, with Punisher not even flinching.
SHIKT!!!
The blade of her cursed sickle hit the Punisher in the head.....or rather the right side of the floor near his head as Alopex slowly got off him and said
"Who is this other man you spoke of?"
Punisher got up slowly and said "Bullseye."
Alopex asked again "Where do I find him?"
"I don't know. I'm hunting for him myself, but I can't find him. But he managed to escape, that's why I'm here." Frank answered
Alopex only slowly got up and said to Castle "If your lying. You will suffer.
"I've suffered more then you can live through." Punisher replied
Alopex only left by jumping and leaving through an air vent. Punisher meanwhile, cleaned his bruises with water using the sink. After a few minutes of cleaning his face, Punisher left the bathroom and made his way out the school building.
Alopex was leaving the area and leapt from building to building as she made her escape, unaware a familiar assassin was observing her.....
"So Frankie is working with a pretty little fox? What a challenge....."
