//------------------------------// // Welcome to Ponyville // Story: BLOODLUST : Equestria's Deadliest Assassin // by WinterStormed //------------------------------// Ponyville. A town every brony knows as the home of the mane 6..... *Toot!* *Toot!* "SUPRISE !" "WELCOME TO PONYVILLE ! STRANGER !" ....and my current nightmare. That fricken pink mare. Obviously the whole damn town was in my newly acquired house. I was expecting it. I've already watched the show and read multiple fanfics to know what happens to new ponies that come to Ponyville. Stuff like breaking and entering, wrecking the damn furniture. Whose going to pay for this mess ? Fortunately, I was smart enough to lock myself in the bathroom and waited until all the bastards left. It was really amusing that they did not realized that the party was thrown for me, the new pony in town. They just partied till midnight while I tried my best to suppress the urges to go on a killing spree. "Haaaa" At least they are all gone. I opened the bathroom door, revealing the mess left behind. *Squish* I looked down at the brown substance on the carpet. *sniff* Peanut Butter. These fuckers. "Do you need he- EEEP!" Luckily I sensed the entity behind me. I crouched and spun around, tackling the target onto the floor. I stared at her baby blue eyes. Her expression was of surprise and shock. Shit, I just counter-surprised the master of surprises, Pinkie Pie, bearer of Laughter. I frowned at the situation. Should I eliminate her ? Wait. Where the fuck that thought came from ? Have I really been degraded into a shitty killing machine ? As I was contemplating the morbid thoughts that were swirling in my head, Pinkie began to giggle. "Why do you look so serious ? Did you enjoy my Welcome to Ponyville party ?" Pinkie Pie said as she jumped up and down. Wait a minute ? Wasn't I pinning her to the floor ? "No. I did not. " Pinkie Pie stopped jumping, her mane deflating a little. "Y-you did not enjoy the party ?" She suddenly was right in front of me. That surprised me. How the fuck did she do that ? Me, Equestria's most deadliest Assassin had his back against the wall because a pink mare invaded his personal space. She was shorter than me . I looked down to her eye level. Ha. This is so embarrassing. Her breath smelt like hard candy.... Pinkie Pies cheeks turned a bit red when she realized how close she was. "S-Sorry !" She scooted backwards as she sheepishly chuckled I scowled at her before sighing again. I just want to sleep. "Although I did not enjoy the party but I do appreciate the effort you put into it." That seemed to satisfy her as she had a big smile on her cute face. "Okie dokie ! My names Pinkie Pie by the way ! I plan parties, work as a baker and a teacher at Twilight's School of Friendship ! " Yeah. I ain't introducing myself. I'm too tired. We going to cross paths again tomorrow anyway. "Thank you Pinkie Pie." I said as I pushed her towards the exit. "Have a good night." "You too Shadow !" *SLAM* I leaned against the door. How did she now my alias ? Pinkie Pie is a scary mare. I only slept for about three and a half hours before waking up and started my daily routine. Wing-ups, go to the toilet, a bath, brush my teeth, eat buttered toast with tea, brush my teeth again, neaten myself and now..... Reading the letter that was sent to me. Dear 177 As you know this mission is an anomaly even for the agency's standards. It has come to our concern that the elements of Harmony are being targeted by, shall we say, foreign agents that have infiltrated the campus. This has been confirmed. What has not been confirmed is that we do not know if the bearers have been blackmailed, influenced or even...replaced. As you also aware, the Cleopatra Directive has been activated, any member of the Equestrian government and/or Monarchy, directly or indirectly, that has been compromised shall be eliminated lest the enemy obtains confidential information , affecting Equestrian interests. You are to infiltrate the campus as an assistant coach to Rainbow Dash, since a vacancy has been posted. Your Alias is Shadow Blitz. Good luck I squashed the paper before disposing of it in the fireplace. It seems it's worse than I thought. Shit. The Cleopatra Directive. Are they really that scared ? Who the hell are these foreign agents anyway ? I glanced at the clock. It's 6 : 00 am. Will the campus be open ? I extinguished the fire and exited the house. Time to get employed. Walking around town was interesting. No pony was out, obviously. A really quaint town..... *Swoosh!* "Fuck !" I rolled , my cheek was stinging. A single blast was etched on the ground. I glared at the hooded ponies around me . Assassins to kill an Assassin ? How original. Oh well. Red liquid swirled around me as I transformed into my human form, my sword appearing in my hand. "Your'll don't look surprised. Perhaps from the agency ?" That got a reaction from them as they flinched when I said 'Agency' My red eyes glinted with delighted. I though this day would be boring. I immediately dashed towards the pony in front of me, severing his neck in a single strike. The other's breaking from their stupor began to shoot their magic. It seems they are all unicorns. Being a human was actually a cheat in this world because ponies are limited in terms of combat especially earth ponies. Unicorns on the other hand are just plain irritating. I swung my blade in a wide arc as multiple limbs went flying every where. Fortunately, none of them screamed, for some odd reason. Ahhh. They running away. Should I chase them ? I looked at my bloody clothes and my bloody surroundings. "I'll let them go this time." I immediately left the scene. Wait. I looked back at the mess I created. Won't the locals get suspicious ? I arrived, the new pony, and the next day multiple body parts are found. "Guess I'm going to have to use it." I fished the incinerating scroll Blueblood gave me. I only had one and now I'm going to have to waste it on these bastards. I squinted at the bodies before throwing the scroll. They would be dust by the time the locals are up and about. I sighed as I held the bridge of my nose. Their mouths were stitched. The Stitched brotherhood. "Can't believe these fuckers are involved." I said as I made my self scarce. If these guys are involved that means.... Oh. What a great way to start the day. Fuck. I had a bath twice that morning.
