"I choose the contract on Mr.Conductor" said Spike. "Vary well Spike Mr.Conductor will meet Sithis in the void this night" said Fluttershy. "Right but how are we going to do it?" ask Spike "Well that is up to you Spike this is your contract after all you decide on how to do it" said Fluttershy Spike thought for a bit before coming up with a idea, he will head to ponyvilles train station look at the scheduled too see when Mr.conductor is working a night shift Spike would use the cover of the night to take out his target. But there might be witness there he'll have to find away to lure him out of sight from them. "Have you came up with a idea yet Spike" ask Fluttershy. "No we better go to the train station to see if Mr.Conductor is working a night shift that will make my job a bit more easy." said Spike "There might be witness Spike what are you going to do about them?" asked Fluttershy "I'll think of something when we go to the train station there might be something there we can use to lure him with." said Spike "All right lets go then" Said Fluttershy Spike fallowed Fluttershy out of the sanctuary through her secret door in her room. "So you have a secret door in your room that leads to the sanctuary?" asked Spike. "Yes it was all ready build in when i first arrived in ponyville, you can use it when ever you want just be sure to shut the door" said Fluttershy. Angel ran up the stairs to Fluttershy holding a cook book in his mouth with a picture of a fancy salad. "Hello Angel we where just about to leave what is it that you want?" ask Fluttershy Pointing to the fancy salad he showed that he was hungry and wanted a fancy salad for his dinner. "I'll make you a salad Angel but we have to go when i get back ill make you a salad how does that sound."said Fluttershy Shaking his head in disapproval he pointed at the fancy salad again showing that he wanted a fancy salad for dinner and nothing more. "Angel right now the carrots are not ready to be taking out of the ground yet and we don't have tomatoes along with most of the ingredients on that salad im sorry." said Fluttershy. "Hold on a second i think i know how to get Mr.Conductor out site from every one else" said Spike. "Really how?" ask Fluttershy a bit surprised. "Well how about we use Angel to lure Mr.Conductor on the other side of the train by the train carts where no pony can see me take him out" said Spike. "Not a bad idea but i dont think Angle will help in any way tho" said Fluttershy. "Well how about we make a deal with him" said Spike looking at Angel who at first look not interested but seeing this is how he is going to get his fancy salad he stared listing. "If you help me out with this contract Angel i will buy the ingredients for your fancy salad what do you say?" ask Spike. Angel thought for a second before nodding in agreement. "That settles it then we have a plan but we still have to see if the Conductor is working a night shift tonight." said Spike. Spike and Fluttershy headed down stairs and out the front door they are heading to the Ponyville train station to look over the schedule for his target,the train station has bulletin bored that tells when the next train departs if there is one leaveing to night he will be there if not Spike is going have to wait, the bulletin bored is next to the front desk where you buy the tickets The bored will tell what time the train departs the conductor name and what time he is working. They arrived at the Ponyville train station it was crowded with pony's, Spike and Fluttershy made there way to the front desk to check the if there was a train leaving to night. "Did you find it yet Spike?" asked fluttershy. "No not yet ah wait here it is, there is a train leaving to night at 12:00pm and Mr.Conductor will be here" said Spike. "Good this is really good by the way is his name really Mr.Conductor?" asked Fluttershy. "I guess that what it says in the bored Mr.Conductor will depart the 12 o'clock train" said Spike. "well...ok then" said Fluttershy. "See any idea on how you are going to lure him with Angel Spike?" asked Fluttershy. Spike look around seeing if there is any thing that could be use to help him out with his contract when he spotted a cargo cart attached to the train, thinking if Angel got under that cart Spike would hide in side out sight from the conductor he would wait till the conductor had to go around the train to get Angel out and that is when he will strike. "Yes...yes i do how do you feel if Angel went under that train cart there(he pointed to the cargo cart) making the conductor go all the way around the train to get Angel out when i will be waiting inside that cart to strike." said Spike. "Not a bad idea now come we must get ready for tonight then." said Fluttershy. They stared to head back to Fluttershys house to get arm and ready for tonight contract. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The time was 11:00pm Spike was placing on his uniform it was a regular BrotherHood suit with a few modification it was made for a creature that walk on two legs in stead of four along with a piece for Spiks tail being the only dragon in town if some one seen his color of his tail he would be found out and along with the BrotherHood. "Spike are you ready?" asked Fluttershy. "Yes i am just trying to get the my tail inside the stupid thing" said Spike. "OK when your done come here i have something for you" said Fluttershy. "OK come on you...there we go." Spike finally got his tail in the suit and into the added part where his tail goes into, he made his way out of the armory heading for Fluttershy, Spike walk up to Fluttershy who was sitting at a table she was not wereing her armor for her part does not require her too there was something on the table it was a dagger it look like the one he used to kill the griffin but the design was much more different, it had a curved blade with brown cloth warp on the handle of the dagger the crossguards on the dagger where pointing down, giving it a look of two fangs biting down on the hand. "You said you had something for me?" ask Spike. "yes i do here this is yours" Fluttershy handed him the dagger. "Thank you Fluttershy this is most kind of you" said Spike. "Your welcome Spike any thing for family" said Fluttershy. Spike and Fluttershy made there way out the sanctuary picking up Angel on there way out they made there way too the Ponyville train station where the conductor was going over last minuet inspection's on the train. "Ok Spike how are we going to do this?" asked Fluttershy. "This is whats going to happen Angel your going to run under that train cart there(Spike pointed to the cargo cart) try to get the conductor to go to the other side of the train to get you Fluttershy chase after Angel yelling his name so you can get the conductors attention have him go get Angel i will be waiting in side the cargo cart, when he trying to get you out Angle i will finish him off." said Spike. "Ok lets get ready then" said Fluttershy. every one headed to their locations Spike was inside the cargo cart waiting for Fluttershy to let Angel go, Fluttershy went behind a few tall box's letting Angel go he made a dash for the cart he was told to go. "ANGEL ANGELGET BACK HERE!" yelled Fluttershy giving chase to her pet rabbit. Mr.Conductor saw these making his way too Fluttershy quickly before she went under the train to get Angel. "Miss please stop right there whats wrong?" ask the Conductor. "My pet Bunny Angel went under your train i have to get him out before he is hurt" Fluttershy said worrying for her pet. "No mam it's too dangerous ill go get your pet for you" "Oh thank you so much please careful" said Fluttershy in a worried voice The Conductor made his way to where Angel was at but he could not reach him he had to go around the train to go get the little rabbit. The Conductor dash to where Angle was on the other said of the train finally reaching where the little rabbit was at he knelt down trying to grab Angle, the little guy was further back so he stared to crawling to the little whit rabbit. He was all most close to getting Angel when a sharp pain shot through his back he let a cry of pain as more pain shot through him it felt like he was being stabbed repeatedly, he tried to get out but with the pain in his back he could not move he heard some one yell "all aboard" then came the sound of the engine starting up. With terror running through him now he tried to yell for help but no one could her him over the engine the little white rabbit ran away from the conductor like nothing was wrong then he heard the squeaking sound of the wheels moving, to his horror they where slowly but picking up speed quickly right toward him. The last thing that went through his mind was his family his waif and two filly's making a prayer to celestia begging to make it quick. The sound of bone being broken and a body being drag with the train was cut off by the trains whistle,the only trace left of the conductor was his hat and a long trail of blood and gore heading to Canterlot train station. Spike POV Spike dash to the train cart hoping that the conductor did not spot him,he made jump into the cargo cart where he will be waiting for his target. "All right all i have to do is wait for Fluttershy to release Angel then wait till he comes this way" Spike thought to him self. "Angel Angel get back here!"Fluttershy yelled "That's the sign all right here we go" Spike said. Spike listen to the Conductor telling Fluttershy she cant go get Angel its too dangerous for some one like her and that he will go get her pet, music to Spikes ears. Spike waited behind the wall of the open cargo box staying out of sight from any pony who might walk by he hide in the shadows his armor making him blend in with the dark he waited till he spotted his target right in front of him. Making sure to be absolutely quiet so the target wont see him Spike waited for the right moment to strike, luckily the target knelt down giving Spike a chance to sneak up a little bit when he saw his target lying on his stomach half way under the train trying to get Angel, Spike made his move he jump off the cargo cart landing behind the Conductor, unsheathing his dagger from his side, turning the dagger upside down he raised his arm high then brought the dagger down on the conductors back. The Conductor let out a painful scream as Spike continued to stab the Conductor. Thinking the Conductor might be dead he jump back into the cargo cart and went out the other side, he stop and place his hands up to his mouth and yelled "all aboard" seconds later the train engine stared up as the engineer started putting coal into the furnace. Spike watch as the train sped up and began moving faster with every second, he watch as the train went to its destination a blood trail fallowed behind the train remembering he left the Conductor's body still half way under the train before it took off. Fluttershy walk up next to him and began congratulating him. "Nice job Spike a bit messy but nice job you earn the 110 bits today" Fluttershy said with a proud smile. "Thanks i thought i would never get him if he did not kneel down to grab Angel" said Spike smiling back at his teacher. Angel pop up right next to Fluttershy letting her know that its time to go home and make some dinner that he earn from this. "All right Angel where going home to make your fancy salad, thanks Spike for buying the ingredients for his salad" said Fluttershy, by the way Spike you got red on you." Spike look at his arms chest and legs he had a few bloodstains on him. "Thanks for telling me and your welcome i need to go home and get this thing clean up" "Do you have a place to hide it from Twilight?" Yes i do there's a hidden department in one of the book shelf that has a horse shoe symbol we found a book there it's empty now so i can place it in there she'll never look there for a BrotherHood suit." "That's good spike i'll see you tomorrow we still have two more contracts to do remember" said Fluttershy "I did not forget, were going after Flash next right?" ask spike. "That's right and i have just the idea for him" "All righty then good bye Fluttershy" Spike said heading home to clean the bloodstains of his suit. "Good bye Spike" said Fluttershy heading home to make Angle a salad for doing such a good job. 2 days after Flash and Dr. Hooves contracts are complete Rarity was look over what she had done she could not believe what she did, dropping the scissors on the floor small drops of blood coming from the blades. "wha...what have i done!" Heading into a fetal position. "What have i done" she started crying.
