Aboard the Consular-class cruiser…
We were on a course heading to the Centaur Kingdom to begin a new life that HK-47 had told me about. I was going to begin a life of being a Bounty Hunter. I had thousands of credits [Economy advanced from bits to credits]. I already had a crew with me, ready for action and dying to hunt others. A battalion of HK-50s, programmed to serve me first and both Soundwave and HK-47 second. HK-47 had reprogrammed T3-M4 to serve me. As for Soundwave, he was going to be programmed to serve me alone and follow my orders. We had a list of what we were going to do. We knew that the Consular-class cruiser was going to be tracked down so we were going to ditch it on the landing platform. We were going to Pablo’s Shop to get me my bounty hunter equipment. Next, we were going to upgrade our droids, to make them even more deadly. Soundwave wasn’t going to get much upgrades but we had ordered ahead to have some parts ready for Soundwave. He had blueprints on two minicons named “Rumble” and “Frenzy”. I didn’t think much on it though, with Amnesia, it wasn’t much to remember besides powers and skills. Anyway, after the upgrades, we are going to get our new ship and upgrade it to the finest. Finally, we begin our new career as Bounty Hunters and we begin to make a reputation with can make me a dangerous pony.
“All I need is a name…”
HK-47 said “Recommendation: How about Shadow?”
“No…”
HK-47 asked “How about Yondu?”
“No, I don’t like that name. How about…Phantom…but needs to add something else to it, but what?”
HK-47 said “Phantom…Master? Keeper?”
“Wait, how about Lord! Phantom Lord!”
Soundwave nodded with approval. HK-47 admitted that he like the sound of that name. It brought fear and terror to the name itself and would make anyone terrified to know that Phantom Lord is after them.
HK-47 replied “One Hundred Percent Approved.”
I smiled and then we heard beeping. We looked at Soundwave and he showed a map. We were approaching the landing platform.
“Let’s go.”
The Cruiser landed and the landing platform lowered. We got off with our entire crew and Soundwave programmed the ship to explode when anyone from the Equestrian Empire tried to examine the logs and everything. Once entered by Equestrians, the ship would instantly explode. We talked to the Landing Bay Officer and told him to don’t touch the ship and leave it there until Equestrian Empire Ponies came to examine it. At first he didn’t approved but I paid him to just do it and he did. It is surprisingly easy to bribe others to do it without question. We left the Landing Zone and head into Pablo’s shop to begin the new life.
Inside the shop…
“Give me your best bounty hunter armor Pablo, if I’m going to be dangerous, I want the best of the best.”
Pablo, who was surprisingly a Griffin, went into the back and pulled out some armor.
Pablo explained to me “This armor is known as “TT-16B Master Powertech Imp”. This armor comes with all types of equipment and toys. The armor is able to take blaster bolts with ease, it has a micro energy field, Penetrating radar, resistance to fire, poison, acid, and cold, 360 degree field of vision, Infrared Scanner, Environmental filter, and it can track 30 targets at once. Its weaponry includes Concussion Grenade Launcher, Wrist Gauntlets that has Flamethrowers, Fibrecord Whip, Wrist Laser, Concussion Rockets, and Stun Rockets. You can carry lightsabers with this armor as well. Its jetpack, known as a Mitrinomon Z-6 Jetpack, can allow you free mobility and flight. You don’t need your hooves to activate it, it can last you in flight for a while, you can travel fast with it in the sky, it has a magnetic grappling hook, and an anti-vehicle homing rocket.”
“I’ll take it, and can you add a Wrist attachable Carbonite Freeze Ray, Explosion Tarts, and Wrist Missiles? Plus, can I have it in black.”
Pablo nodded and went back into the back. After 10 minutes, he came back out with the upgrades and color change. I put it on and activated my equipment. I was impressed and paid for it.
Pablo asked “Anything else you desire?”
“Yes. I’ll take two of your R-30017 Aikion Blasters, one of your electrostaffs, and one of your electro-whips.”
Pablo nodded and got those weapons. I paid him for the weapons and left to head to Dr. Gubacher’s Droid Update Shop.
We arrived and began to talk with Gubacher, who was a Centaur who loved droids. We began to upgrade my droid crew, starting with HK-47. HK-47 was given new upgrades that would make him able to fight against Jedi Knights. He had Flamethrowers, Freeze Rays, Grenades, sonic screamers, cluster rockets, plasma charges, poison gas, and mines. HK-47 loved his new toys and he was given advance Targeting computer, which made his marksman skills even more deadly. His Sith Sniper Rifle was upgraded even further. HK-50s were given the same upgrades but not as advance as HK-47, making him a superior model. T3-M4 was upgraded with advance computer skills and some stuff, like advance stun ray and shield disrupter. T3’s skills of hacking would be able to rival Soundwave’s Hacking Skills. As for Soundwave, he didn’t received any upgrades but made his two minicons and they were able to become part of Soundwave, into Data Codes and Soundwave can deploy them from data codes, forming them into living metal again. After the upgrades, I pay the doctor before we left.
I was looking at the selection of ships I could use. Before I could saw anything, we heard a giant ‘BOOM’ from the landing platforms. I looked at Soundwave and his face showed the Consular-class cruiser picture with an “X” crossing it, meaning: The Ship’s Self Destruct Trap went off, telling us that the Equestrian Empire was here.
“We need to get out of here before they begin setting their search parties to look around.”
I looked at them and then I noticed a ship that grabbed my attention. It was one of a king ship, it was grey and brown. I liked it and looked at the shop owner.
“What is that ship called?”
The Owner answered “It’s known as the Ebon Hawk, it’s one of a kind. Do you like to buy this ship?”
“Yes and I want to upgrade it.”
I began to have the ship upgraded and when they were finished, I loved the new ship. We went inside and we see it came with additional Droid Pilots, Pilot Battle Droids. I had them upgraded as well to be able to pilot a ship with ease and no problems. I went to the controls and a Pilot went to the other set. I checked the fuel and we were loaded. We took off; heading towards the place where Bounty Hunters can be hired and welcomed at, it was known as Hutt Lands, a territory where not even the Equestrian Empire can touch without starting a war. Bounty Hunters, Smugglers, and Mercenaries were welcomed in those lands. To start a reputation, why not work for a Hutt? I knew just the Hutt to work for, Nem’ro the Hutt. We began to head there, beginning a new life.
