And for some reason, he was wet. All three realized where the direction of Marey’s drink landed. The stallion spoke. “I said where the hell do you think yer going…” Doctor spoke first. “Uh..W-We were j-just leaving actually, I hope you don’t mind.” “I DO MIND THANK YOU VERY MUCH!” “EEP!” Shining Armor stepped in. “Look, were not looking for trouble! Were just here for the mare, that’s it!” “Is that right? How about this, give us the mare and we’ll let you go. She needs to learn a lesson for her ‘accident’ she caused earlier, Deal?” *Pow* The stallion flew back and crashed onto a table unconscious, everypony who witness it turn to the direction where it caused it. “No Deal…” said Connor as he held a hoof in the air, revealing he was the one who caused the stallion to flay back by punching him! “You…You bastard!” Suddenly a group of three ponies surrounded the three stallions and readied themselves to attack. Connor and Shining Armor readied themselves to defend, as for Doctor, well, he did his best to hide behind the two stallions. “Remember what I said about not looking for trouble?” said Shining Armor. “Looks like we found it.” “Yes, sorry about that.” Said Connor. “Ah don’t worry, it was bound to happen.” “Speaking of trouble, do you know how to fight?” “Know how? Your speaking to a royal guard incase you forgot, of course I can! You?” “I was trained by a pony who was a friend, but was like a father to me. Doctor! Can you fight?” “*Whimper*” “Prefect…” The three stallions stood there and waited for the first attack. Luckily, one of the thugs ran towards the stallions and attacked with a punch. But the punch never connected as it was caught by Connors hoof! But the pegasus didn’t end it there as he punched the thugs elbow inward, braking it in the process. He then finished it by back hoofing the thugs face, causing him to be dazed, Connor then grabbed the thugs head and shoved it to the ground, and kicked his head hard as he could. Seeing the thug is not moving, Connor turned to his next opponent. Another thug came rushing towards Connor, ready to attack. Connor prepared himself to defend, knowing this was to hurt. A lot. As the thug got close, he was tackled down to the ground by Shining Armor! The unicorn picked the thug up to his hoofs, punched his face a couple times, threw the thug straight into a near by wooden pole head first, and finished it by kicking his head further into the pole knocking him out. “Good Show lads!” said Doctor as he congratulated his friends. “Come here you!” “Gah!” Doctor ran from the thug around the tavern like a mad pony, as the thug chased him. Connor and Shining Armor saw what was happening as they stood there watching with an amused look. “Shouldn’t we help him?” said Connor. “Nah, I think he’s got this one.” Said Shining Armor. “If its too much for him we’ll help.” “Hmm…fair enough.” After running around the tavern for a quite a while, the thug finally managed to catch up to Doctor and tackled him down. He then threw him onto a near by table and started to choke him. Doctor started to panic as he was being chocked to death by the thug, he quickly looked around the best as he could to grab something to hit the thug with. Luckily he found a beer bottle near by, without time to think, Doctor grabbed the bottle and smashed it on the thugs head, knocking unconscious. “I…I did it…I did it! Yes! I got him! Whoohoo!” shouted Doctor. “Hey!” Doctor turned around and saw another pony behind on the same table he was being choked on. “Uh, can I help you?” “Yeah, you smashed and wasted my drink!” Doctor looked at the broken bottle on the floor and back at the stallion. “EEP!” *Pow* … “Let me at her!” said the earth pony bully. “Heh, suit yourself.” Said the unicorn bully. The earth pony bully smiled and pounded his hoofs together. Scootaloo took a step back. (“Grrr…Where’s Sweetie Bell and Dinky!? What’s taking them so long!?”) “Here I come brat!” The earth pony bully threw himself at Scootaloo to end the fight quick, but the pegasus filly was quick enough to dodge the tackle. Making the bully hit the ground. “Missed me!” said Scootaloo. “Grr! You just got lucky brat!” The earth pony stood up from the ground and charged at Scootaloo, surprisingly the filly did the same. As they got closer and closer, Scootaloo slid underneath the bully with no problem thanks to her size. The bully looked back as he continued to run with a shocked look on his face from the filly sliding underneath him. Scootaloo shouted back at the bully. “You may want to turn around!” The bully turned around and- *Wam* -ran his head straight into a tree. Scootaloo winced at the scene. “Ouch, that’s gotta hurt.” The bully shook his head to get rid of the dizziness and looked back at Scootaloo. “That’s it! Playtime is over!” The earth pony stood up more and ran straight at Scootaloo with a punch ready, the pegasus stood her ground as she readied herself. As the bully got closer, he threw the punch. But Scootaloo ducked the punch as it connected to a- *Pow* *Crack* “GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! MY HOOF!!!” -a metal pole that’s part of a jungle gym. Seeing this gave Scootaloo an idea, she climbed the metal latter all they way to the top and looked down to see the bully still in pain and holding his hoof. She jumped off the latter and landed on the bull’s head, knocking him unconscious. Landing safely on the ground, Scootaloo smiled at her. “Lights out!” … Back at the tavern, things got out of control. After Doctor was knocked out by another pony because his drink was used as a weapon and smashed into pieces, Connor and Shining Armor ran up to the pony and knocked him out. This action caused a bar fight, some of the pony’s friends stood up and attacked the two stallions. While the rest decided to start for no reason since there was a fight going on. As for Doctor, he was dragged away by the bartender and placed him behind the bar next to the passed out Marey Mare after drinking another alcoholic bottle. Connor and Shining Armor continued their fight against the other ponies to defend themselves. One thug ran towards Connor, but the white pegasus was quick. As the thug got close, Connor kneed him in the stomach, grabbed his shoulders and smashed his head into a nearby wall. A second thug attacked with a knife, as the knife came down Connor Blocked it with one of his hidden blades,with a free hoof, the pegasus punched the thug in the face, causing him to be dazed. Connor retracted of his hidden blade, punched his face once more, sweeped one of the thugs hind legs that forced him onto the ground, grabbed his head and kneed him in the face. A third thug with a pool stick attacked Connor with a swing, he easily grabbed the stick, kicked the thug in the groin, wrapped his head with an arm, and head dropped him into the ground. Connor quickly stood up from the ground and readied himself for another attack, instead he saw Shining Armor surrounded by a few thugs ready to attack! Seeing his friend in danger, Connor ran towards Shining Armor to aid him. … Seeing one of their own defeated easily by the filly, it angered both bullies. The pegasus bully yelled in anger. “That’s it! She’s dead!” “Make it quick will ya! We got a schedule to keep!” shouted the unicorn bully. Without another word, the pagasus bully flew towards Scootaloo at quick speed to show her no mercy. Luckily, the young filly rolled to the side and dodged the bully. Seeing his speed made her nervous, but she put it aside and focused on the fight. The pegasus bully turned around and flew towards scootaloo once more. Again, Scootaloo rolled to the side and dodged the bully. She knew she couldn’t keep this up forever; she needs to end this now! The filly looked around to see anything useful, and she did. A baseball bat. (“That could work.”) Thought Scootaloo as she picked the bat up. The bully pegasus turned around and with all his strength he flew fast towards the filly, hoping to finish her once and for all. As he was getting closer, Scootaloo raised the bat and prepared herself. Seeing this the bully slowed down, but he was coming too fast. He couldn’t stop! “Batter up!” shouted Scootaloo. “WOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAW!!!!!” *Whak* As the bat collided with his face, the bully spun around out of control and crashed into a nearby tree. Knocking him out. Seeing this, Scootaloo celebrated. “Ha ha! Homerun!” “You’re out…” Hearing a voice behind her, Scootaloo slowly turned around and saw the unicorn bully with his horn glowing with magic with a smile on his face. “*Gulp*” … “Come on you guys, give it a rest!” shouted Shining Armor as he was surrounded by a few thugs. “I already took down most of you! Get it through your thick skulls, your outmatched!” “True,” said one of the thugs. “but you wasted your energy on the others. Meaning we have the upper hoof!” Shining Armor cursed. (“Damn! He’s right, I focused on the fight too much I didn’t get a chance to catch my breath!”) “Get him!” “I don’t think so!” Connor charged towards the thugs surrounding Shining Armor, he slid to the first thug, grabbed his leg, and tripped him onto the ground. Connor quickly stood up and punched the thug in the stomach, causing his landing to be rougher. Lastly, he elbowed and kicked the two remaining thugs in the face and the chest. With that done, Connor turned to Shining Armor and helped him up. “Are you alright?” “Heh, I’ve been better.” Said Shining Armor. “We gotta get out of here, things have gone crazy here. The Royal Guard will be here any minute now, and personally I rather not be here when they come!” “What do we do?” Before Shining Armor could speak, he was tackled down by a random thug! “Shining Armor!” shouted Connor. As Connor was about to run towards Shining Armor, he was pulled back by his hood by another thug, one of the three thugs that he knocked out earlier! Without a second to think, he elbowed the thug in the face. With his grip tight on the hood, the force of the punch caused the hood to rip from the robes and the thug slipped into unconsciousness. Connor knew with the robes ruined, Rarity will say something about it. But it doesn’t matter now, Shining Armor needs help! As Connor turned forward. *Slash* “Gah!” A knife slashed across his chest, giving it a large cut as it bleeds. Once again, ruining the robes further and soaked in blood. (“Rarity is going to kill me for this…”) Looking at his attacker it was another thug armed with knife, quickly the thug slashed the knife fast as he could at every direction. Connor Managed to dodged the attacks, but the longer he fights this thug. The more danger Shining Armor is in Danger! With another Slash Coming towards him, Connor Grabbed the thugs arm and used one of his hidden blades, and stabbed his arm. The Thug yelled in pain as he dropped the knife, got on his knees, and grasped his wounded arm to stop the bleeding much as he could. With that out of the way, Connor focused on finding Shining Armor. Until. *Smash* A small black ball smashed though the window and landed nearby Connor. As everypony was busy fighting each other, Connor was the only one to noticed the ball, and immediately knew what it was!” “Oh no…” *Poof* *Hiss* Smoke came out of the ball and quickly filled the tavern, causing everypony to stop what they were doing and coughed harshly from the smoke. (“Damn! A smoke bomb!?”) Connor thought as he also coughed from the smoke. (“Who has he means of having one!?”) “This is the Royal Guard! Stay where you are or we will be authorized to use deadly force!” (“Well…that answered my question. But most importantly, how do I escape!?”) “Hey! Over here!” Connor turned to where the voice called out his name, it was the bartender in the far back of the tavern holding the back door open. “Quick! Get over her before its too late!” Having very little choice, Connor ran towards the back door and escaped. As he went outside, the bartender closed the door. With him where Shining Armor, and both the passed out/unconscious, Marey Mare and Doctor Whooves were there. “Shining Armor, are you alright?” Said Connor. “Just some bumps and burses, nothing I can handle. How about you?” “Its just a scratch, I’ll live.” “A scratch!? That’s a gash if ask me! Hell, you’re even bleeding fro Celestia’s sake!” “Your friend is right pal, you need to get that checked.” Said the Bartender. “I said I’m Fine!” shouted Connor. “What? Don’t tell me you’re afraid of the doctor huh?” Connor didn’t reply as he gave the bartender a glare. “*Sigh* Look pal, I understand if you have reasons not to go to the hospital. But you need to get that checked.” “Then what do you suggest?” “I know this mare who’s good at taking care of animals and patching them up, she took care of my pit bull, sully, when he was attacked by a squirrel after he chased it around the park.” Connor and Shining Armor gave the bartender a blank look. “What? He’s a lover not a fighter. Anyway, if she can help animals she can help you.” “Do you know where she is?” Connor asked. “Yeah, she lives at the edge of town. She’s not much of a talker, but I’m sure she’ll get the job done.” “Then lets move,” said Shining Armor. “the Royal Guards will be sweeping the around area to block anypony leaving and entering the place.” … “GAH!!!” Scootaloo screamed in pain as the unicorn bully held her in his magic by the neck. “You’ve been a real pain in my flank when you took down my friends. That makes me look bad.” He then turned his attention to the other fillies and colts who were watching the entire time. (“Oh, I’m going to enjoy this…”) The bully spoke to the children. “Let this be a lesson to all those who go up against me!” The bully’s horn grew brighter as the two magic auras glowed around Scootaloo’s wings. “Then, he pulled them. Slowly and painfully. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!” Scootaloos screams were so loud that the bully enjoyed it, as for the children, they couldn’t do anything as they stared in horror and afraid of what he might do if they interrupt. Scootaloo continued to scream in pain as the unicorn bully pulled her wings. Seeing she’s had enough, the unicorn bully decided to end this fight. With more pain. “Alright you little brat, time to put an end to your misery!” The bully pulled her wings more violently, causing Scootaloo to scream in pain louder. As the wings were still being pulled. *Snap* “GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” “Take him down!” *Bang* “AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGH!!!!” The bully’s magical grip disappeared as he harshly fell on the ground in pain with a bullet wound on his chest bleeding. With the magic aura gone, Scootaloo fell on the ground and laid there motionless. As she was fading from the pain, she saw two familiar unicorns shouting her name. "Scootaloo! Scootaloo!" … … … To be continued…
