//------------------------------// // Welcome To APPLEO- Ow! // Story: PAYDAY : Wait A Minute... // by PBY_Jacko115 //------------------------------// "Oh..... Fuck it, oorah." The dark and eerie sewer laid before him. The darkness was about as enticing as fermented herring dipped in cat piss. Still, the man pushed on, taking shallow breaths to avoid the stench. This was Chains straight after running around Canterlot for almost an hour from the royal guard and local police force. One in particular wearing a Hawaiian shirt and aviators caught him off guard. Dust fell from the ancient ceiling as everyday busybodies walked around the surface above. A grate revealing a view of the surrounding area showed itself for what seemed like forever ahead. Grabbing the ancient filth covered bars, he grunted as he pushed against them. The gave in to Chains strength, making the world outside the mountaintop city free to him. First things first, try and find his fellow members. Hopefully they were having better luck than him. ----- "OH SHIIIIIIT!!!!" Dallas yelled as several beams of magic whizzed by him. Many just barely clipped his brown plaid suit, scorching the once, and still, tacky piece of fashion. Wolf and Hoxton ran alongside him, although Hoxton was slightly ahead from his more lithe size. Wolf was in the rear occasionally shooting bullets back, none of them hitting on point. "Hey Wolfy, got a plan!?" Hoxton yelled, quickly jumping to the left to avoid a bolt of magic. "In the forest! It's easier to get rid of them!" "I don't know Wolf, it's unnaturally dark in there!" Dallas interrupted, pointing out the forest up ahead was indeed darker than it should be. Hoxton wasted no time as he took a right and crossed a bridge, pushing a pony over the side in the process. Dallas crossed and soon did Wolf who stopped and fired a stream of bullets at their pursuers, who took cover from the deadly bits of lead. He then dropped a yellow brick onto the bridge and soon joined with his friend. Bringing up the detonator, he mashed the trigger, the walkie-talkie attached sending an electric current that caused the compounds to ignite and destroy the bridge. ".... They fly to, you realize that, right Wolf?" Dallas deadpanned as the smoke covered their retreat. "I completely forgot. Oh well, no more bridge, their loss." And with that, they ventured into the dark and foreboding forest full of terror. --- "And you're the last one. Welp, have fun!" The mercenary didn't have a chance as he was kicked into the deadbolt locked room. Bain looked through the shock-proof window and waved before high-tailing it back to cover. He pressed a detonator and blew the contents inside to nothingness. "I ain't going in there," Talking to no one in particular. "I got business to run. After all, I did say CimeNet runs deeper than people think" Behind the ski mask, Bain smiled as he threw a camera into the room. "Maybe.... We'll make greatest heist the world has ever known. We're going to kidnap aliens." He then proceed the blow the abused room up again. --- The scenery around Chains changed from a peaceful grassland to a blistering desert reminiscent of the Old West. Panting and throat dry, Chains kept walking slowly, head hung down. He collapsed, breathing heavily, not caring about the sounds that approached him and the shadow that covered his body. He was lifted by the unknown creature and carried off. Chains fell unconscious from the heat that bombarded him. A few hours passed by and Chains awoke to the sounds of deep voices discussing a matter. He groaned as he sat up, stretching his cramped limbs. Opening his eyes, he saw two buffalo staring at him, one wearing a rather magnificent headdress and the other just a headband. "Oh, you have got to be shitting me." Chains said, disbelief upon his face. --- "Okay, anyone know what the fuck that thing is?" Dallas said pointing at the creature who was hissing at them, staring deeply into his eyes. "Sorry mate, beats me." Hoxton replied shrugging his shoulders. Wolf just grunted as he fired his STRYK at it, completely decimating it. They moved up and upon closer inspection, it seemed to be a snake with a chicken's head. The thing moved a little bit and Dallas ended the notion with a well placed curb stomp. "I don't get it. First that giant as all hell scorpio-lion thing, then a pack of wooden wolves, and then this? What's next a dragon, because that'll just be wonderful." Hoxton said, still looking at the remains. The American just sighed and started following the path again, not waiting for his accomplices. Overhead, pegasi were flying, trying to spot the robbers in the dense forest. Of course unknowingly to the robbers, the were currently in the Everfree Forest, deadly by pony standards, by human standards, more like target practice. They continued to walk through, and they kept walking, and walking.... And walking. Eventually the forest ended and was replaced by a desert with a town in the distance. With Dallas as the unspoken leader, they went towards it, preparing their arms for the probable bloodshed.
