Equestria - Ponyville
The music coming from my alarm clock awake me from my little nap. Damn, I needed that. Walking outside my room, where on the floor was some pizza boxes from the passing days, I go to the kitchen to get a quick snack and I on the table were my planflet from 41 Blessings, that I still didn't put somewhere else. Approuching at it, I give another read
"THANK YOU FOR SUBSCRIBING TO OUR NEWS LETTER! WE APPRECIATE YOUR INTEREST IN OUR CAUSE. EQUESTRIA IS A TUNE. IT MUST BE SUNG TOGETHER. -41 BLESSINGS"
Picking it up, I put inside a drawer in the kitchen.
Going to the living room, to check my answering machine, I see on the table in front of my sofa the newspaper, that talked about my last hits,
that I start clipping somedays ago. Going to my phone I see that, surprise, I have a message. Picking the phone up, I press the button "You have "one" new message"
"Hi, it's 'Kate' from Ponyville's dating service. We have set up a date for you this evening. She'll be waiting for you at Southwest 53rd place. As usual, make sure you wear something fancy"
"Wait, this adress is from..." Rarity said to herself.
Well, that was a smart cryptic message. Also, this adress is kinda familiar to me. Trotting to my bedroom, I go to my closet where was a box with some masks, that their own names, that they, who ever they are, delivered to me, along with some "acessories" that came along with each mask. Tony, a tiger mask that came with a pair of brass knuckles, making my punchs more lethal and making things more easy, so, this wasn't my favorite. Aubrey, a pig mask that helped find more guns than usual. The last one I received was Earl, a walrus mask that came with a kinda weak ballistic vest, making me survive some shoots. If it wasn't for the warning that, I can only use this acessories with the mask the came with, I would use the ballistic vest more often, but, whatever, I prefer my rooster mask. Picking up my mask Richard, I pick the disguise draw that was under the box and put everything inside my jacket, proceding to make my way out the house, to start my first mission on day. This is going to be interesting.
"Oh, by the goddness!" Rarity said.
"What is it, Rarity?" Twilight ask, seeing how shocked she was
"This adress...is from...Red Romance's house in Ponyville!" Rarity said "It was...him who killed him!" She said in rage "This monster...this killer...this...ASSHOLE!"
This new her surprised everypony. They didn't expect to see her like this Then again, he was somepony she respect and cared "Rarity, please..."
"No, Twilight, there is nothing to say" Rarity said in rage, but, calmed down, just a bit "I know there is no way of making Pinkie give up of this, and I respect her decidion, just know, when this memory is over, I'm out, ok?" She said to Twilight and Pinkie, who simply nod in answer "Thank now" Turning around from everything that was happening, she sit on the "floor" "Now, if you excuse me, I won't pay any attetion to what this...thing will do" She than put both her hoofs on her ears.
After sighning, Twilight and the ones who could watch, prepared for the horros, and Pinkie payed attetion to everything that was happening.
After a little run, and passing by some civilians, I get to my destination. A big house, that, if I'm not mistaked, is from someone famous, I think. Not wanting to waste any time, I prepared myself. Putting the disguise draw, check. Rooster mask, check. Headphones to make this more enjoyable, check. Let's roll.
Going to the front door, I prepared to bash in...but I descovered that it was open,hmm. Moving in, I see another door, that also was opened, and I was greeted by a mobster on his back to the door, playing with his pocket knife, taking advantage of the fact he didn't notice me, I quickly approuch at him, shut his mouth with a hoof and hold his throat with the other and procced to rip his throat out. One down, how many the Goddness knows to go.
Moving on, I turn left, and enter a small square area, with a door on my right, and a small corridor in front. Taking cover on the wall, I check corridor, that lead it to a double door, and a mobster that was chilling with a double barrel shotgun by his side. Looks like he is guarding the door. Jackpot, perhaps? Also, I notice two doors on the corridor, one on the right and one on the left. Maybe I should take this guy out, before moving one, and my oportunity to do this is on the floor. A soda bottle. Quickly picking up the soda, I take aim and throw at the asshole, and quickly returning to cover, hoping that "Oww!" Yep, got him. Running to mobster on the ground, I pick his shotgun and start bitting him with the gun's wood side, breaking his head.
With this done, I now had three more doors to go. One on my right, on my left and the double doors on the front. Moving to the double door, I try opening it, but it was locked "Leave me alone!" Someone inside scream, and since the doors don't open, I do as you wish, Mr. Who-the-fuck-you-may-be.
Going back to the first door I could choose, I put my ear on it to hear if someone was inside "Stroka, stroka , stroka vashey lodke. Ostorozhno vniz po..."
"I swear to our king that I will MURDER your face if don't SHUT. UP!" Two mobsters, and they were arguing. One I could kinda hear in a specific place, but the other, the one singing, was approuching and distancing from the door, and this, gave me a idea. With the shotgun in hoof, I wait for the idiot singing approuch the door. With he behind the door, I buck the door and throw the signing Rucheling on the floor in the procced "What the sh..." The other didn't have time to think as I hit his face with the gun, making him fall on the floor in pain. Deciding to finish with the singing mobster first, I hold his jaws and rip it out and smash his head woth my back hoofs, ending his misery with more misery "Ahhh, mother fucker" The other one said, holding his broked nose while trying to get up. I kick his belly, making him stay on the ground, and start bashing his head on the floor something and end him by breaking his neck.
In the room was a door that lead to the room in front. With the bubble darryl...DOUBLE BARREL in hand, I kick open the door and blast the two fucker inside. Where that bubble darryl shit came from? The blast had killed them instantly...no, actually, it only killed one of them with one blast. The other was dragging himself away from me. Deciding to finish the job, I get on top of him and turn his head 180 degress. NOW, I was done here. Also, on the room was the stairs that lead to the next floor, but, I need to make sure I'm done here, first. Picking a M19 Assault Rifle that belong to one of them, I leave the room.
Getting out of the room, by a door the lead back to the corridor, I go to the last room to check, the one on the left, in the corridor. Opening and advancing, I, shit, quickly retreat and take cover on the wall, dodging a shotgun blast "You're mine, shit head!" Well, fuck. Crouching, I wait for the first one to appear "I got him, I...!" I got a bullet on your head, is what you want to say, pal.
"Shit, he is armed!" You bet your flank I am. Going all guns blazzing, I unload the gun on the two last mobster. With them dead, I throw the gun away and pick up a baseball bat that one of them had, that I could feel it was weak and would break at the first hit, and return to the stairs on the other room, to make my way to the second floor.
Upon climbing, I see a mobster playing snooker, and he had a double barrel by his side. Seeing two doors, one on the front of the pool table and another on my right, I think quick and decide to take the mare out and run inside the room on the front. Advancing on her, I hit her head strongly, sending some of her teeths and blood on the table, and as I presumed, the bat broked. Picking up the pool cue that she was using, I rush to the door in front of fuck. I see a mobster with a double barrel shotgun and another down on the hall. Changing my plans, I rush to the room on the right, where I should...goddamn it.
"Who the fuck?" Two mobsters were inside the room. Luckly they wasn't using fire weapons. I rush at the closest one and hit him strongly with the pool cue, killing him and breaking my weapon, but still useful since now I can pierce the other. Dodging the other attack, by rolling to the side, I approuch to him and shut his mouth, procceding to stab him on the neck, repeatedly. Finishg the job, I see that I had two doors, one on the end of the room and one on my right, probably...
"Hey, I heard a..." A mobster comes out of the door on the end of the room, armed with double barrel and not a bit happy of seeing his partness dead "Sonofaouch!!" I throw the broken pool cue in him, distracting him and giving me a oportunity to punch him. Getting in top of him I pick up the broken pool cue again, raise it up and stab his heart, pushing to go all the way down. With this done, I procced to go check the room he came from, and I see it was just a bathroom. Checking inside, to see if someone was hiding, Ionly found a big bathtub full of water and with some roses in it. Smelling myself, I see that I NEED a bath.
Getting out of the bathroom, I go to the other door on the room and I just open a bit, to see who was in the other side. In front was a dinning room with a long dinning table and two armed mobsters, both armed with M16, on the other side. Also, on the right, I see a door to another room. Looking more to the left, I see one more, the one I saw before, armed with a double barrel and was almost sleeping, and since this pony is here, the other ones is "Hmm?" Shit. The pony with double barrel on the right. I quickly close the door and take cover by the wall "I think I saw something"
"So, check it out, tupitsa" Another voice, probably coming from the almost sleeping mobster.
"Blow me" I hear the mobster aprouching. The door was opened, and the mobster gets in, looking left and right for me "Hmm, Maybe I washmmm?!" Holding the asshole's by his neck, I break his neck. A silence death.
With the double barrel shotgun in hands, I return to the door, I kick it open "What the..." And procced to shoot the mobsters on the end of the room, were lauched on the wall by the blast.
"Holy..." Not forgetting the sleeping, I throw my weapon at him, making he fall on his back on the wall, and I procced to buck his head, smashing his head.
Going to the last room to check, on the end of the room, I decide to finish this job quick and I pick the M16 on the floor. Kicking up the door, I see that was a bedroom, with a mobster on a sofa, with a bat by his side, and another close to the bed, armed with a double barrel shotgun. Not giving them time to react, I give quick shots on their heads, killing them instantly. And with this, my job was done.
Breathing slowly, I was about to take off my mask, but I notice a camera on the wall, making me change my mind. I throw the gun away and procced to go downstairs. After this, I need a drink.
Getting down the stairs, the music that was playing stopped, and it played the next one.
I heard a door being opened with force "Gotta do everything by myself, hmm...!" I heard someones voice and someone aprouching, and suddendly, the door, that lead to the corridor, was opened with force by a fat and bald red stallion, using a dark trech coat with a purple shirt under it "I gotcha now, bitch!" The fucker advanced on me, and dodge his attack. With the oportunity, I punch his face with force, but "Hehehe, this is the strength of the Killer Beast who killed my security?" My punch didn't do nothing, but the punch he gave back did a real damage, launching me backwards on the floor "He is going to pay me well for your death!" Still on the floor, I see a M16 under the sofa and didn't waste the oportunity. Rolling to the sofa, I pick up the weapon and I turn to the asshole, hold the trigger and unloading the gun on his chest, the result was something a wasn't expecting "Hehehe. Hahahaha" The pony laught at what I just did. Opening his shirt, he reveal a "Red Romance is always prepared. Kevla vest, biatch"
"I got to say" Twiligh said, looking away from the gore images, looking at her friends "I didn't expect Red Romance to be somepony like this"
"You and me sis" Rainbow Dash said, and looked at Rarity, who still recused to look at the images "Do you think she can hear what is happening?"
"In my opinion, she can, Sugarcube" Applejack said "She only recuse to look"
"Maybe, there's more about this stallion than she knows" Twilight said, and, she decided to stay strong and look at what was happening.
Running out of the room, to the corridor, I look around for a weapon, and lucky to me, I see a shotgun inside the room that was closed "Get back here!" The fat guy comes after, and I don't lose any time. Running to the room, I pick up the shotgun and quickly take aim, and send a blast on his chest, sending him to the ground "You gotta do better than..." I send another blast on his chest, as he was getting up, and start aprouching at him. I could simply blast his head, but...no "Grrr, you going to..." I send another blast on that asshole as he was getting up again, and this time, I think it was enough. Looking at me, he start crying and had some blood coming out of his mouth. Yup, it was enough "Oh, goddness" he said to me, and cough a bit of blood and extending his hoof at me in defence, as I was simoly standing in front of him "Please, don't" Sorry, you started. Going to on top of him, I start pressing his eyes, as he scream and try to push me away, but it was useless. With my hoofs deeply inside his head, I give one quick push, that made him stop moving, meaning that my job here is done. Getting out of him, I start to make my way out.
"Hey asshole, you can't just *cought* leave me here. I got nowhere to go"
Wait, that voice Rarity think to herself, but shake off the though, but, decided to give a little peek just to make sure
A female voice, coming from the room where the fatty was. And the sound sounded weak. Trotting back to the room, I give a better look inside, and...holy shit, the fucker was a filthy pig. I look at the pink mare with blond and messy mane and tail, with eyes in tears, messy make up and using a provocative cloth, who screamed at me, on a bed with some "items of pleasure", hancuffs and a syringe, that I may have a idea what have inside. I can clearly see who was the victim here. Looking to the right, I see some monitors, and by the looks of it, it show images from the security cameras. The fatty was watching his security being killed by me. What a dick. But, one monitor in particular was playing something else. Something starring the fatty, some random pony and...the mare.
"Oh my goddness" Rarity said, tears in her eyes as she see her friend being abused in such way "Beauty, by Celestia, what Red did to you?!" Twilight and the others now look at her, felling sorry for her. The voices from the video also proved one thing: Red Romance was enjoying this more than the other two "Red Romance, you PIG!" Rarity said in rage, while she was crying "I loved you, I respect you, I MOURNED you! I wanted to have your talents, but now, now I see how much of a disgust and filthy pony you are!" This moment get the attention of all her friends, even making Twilight pause the memory reproduction "You deserved to die! YOU DESERVED TO DIE BY THIS MONSTER, FOR ABUSING MY..."
"ENOUGH!" Pinkie screamed, slapping Rarity's face to bring her back "Rarity, calm down! I know how angry you are, but staying like this won't help" Rarity stared at her, with a stream of tears on her eyes "He maybe was the monsters he was, but is not right to wish other's death"
This surprised Rarity "You are..."
"I'm not saying that he shouldn't receive a punishment. He does, but not death. Never death!" Pinkie said to her "Do you think Beauty Maker would want you to be this sad and vengefull, for what happened to her?" Rarity didn't answer "Well, I'm not sure, but I pretty sure she doesn't" Pinkie start giving her a conforting smile "She would want you to smile, to be happy, happy for her, now she cannot feel anything else" With this, Rarity couldn't hold anymore. She procced to hug Pinkie and let out all her tears. She needed that. She missed her friend from the bottom of her heart, and she knew that she wouldn't come back "Shh, is okay. Everything will be okay"
"I just..." Rarity said between tears "I just want her to come back"
"I know, I know, but she never will be death, you know?" Pinkie saie, pushing Rarity away to look her in her eyes "As long that you care, love and never forget her, she will always be alive, ok?"
This made Rarity smile. Now she really, REALLY, is happy for having such amazing friends, Hugging Pinkie again, she said, more recovered "Thanks Darling. And, I'm sorry" She let her out of the hug and procced to clean her eyes "I really did I show, didn't I" She said with a weak smile.
"Hihi, is okay" Pinkie said.
"Now, how about we finish this memory, eh?" Rarity said, and Twilight procced to play the stopped memory, and...
"Hey, Twilight" Rainbow Dash calls Twilight's attention "Why did you stopped the memory and didn't just let it playing? The spell didn't said we need to watch, right?"
This...made Twilight really think of why she did stopped the memory "I have absolutely...no idea" She simply said that, and procced to reproduce the memory.
I fell bad. Not for watching this, but for the mare that probably was forced to do such things. Turning to her, who was simply starring at me with the same hopeless spirit, I aprouch at her "Yeah... just get it over with" She said, probably thinking on her death "I knew it woule end like this" With this, she cough, and close her eyes, waiting for the inevitable. I have a mission: kill every last Ruchrling Mobster and take care of the ones that saw me. I never, NEVER, had any problems with witnesses, and this was the first one. The thing is, it have to be someone like here? I...I can't kill her, but, I couldn't just leave her there...but, there is somethint that I can do, and I feel is the most correct choice.
Standing on my back hoofs, I grab and hold her with both my hoofs. She not waking up show that she blacked out. Picking up the bed cover, I put of me and start making my way out. Outside, I start looking for something to carry her, and lucklly, I found a simple carriage. Putting her inside, with the cover on the top of her to hide her, and obviouly removing my mask snd disguise drae, I start pushing the carriage back to my apartment.
Rarity feelt...good, for this act of kindness that Jacket die to her friend. Yeah, she was expecting this, and she still don't trust him by complete, but, she was happy.
Before going to my apartment, I decide to give a quick stop by a friend's bar. Parking the carriage, I do a last check on the girl and enter the place. The place was kinda full, and...some of them looks like some musicians. Deciding to do my bussines, I trot to the counter, where Cool Beard was waiting for me, aparrently.
"Hold up" Rainbow Dash suddendly said "I don't remember Beard having a bar" This actually made things more confuse, but, they decide to keep watching.
"Hi there, welcome!" Beard said to me, and notice my state "...you don't look so good. Are you alright, sir?" I nod at him "Are you sure it iw okay for you to be drinking" I nod once more "Alright... then I get you something special" Beard said and start mixing drinking down the counter "Maybe you want it bitter? I think I know what you want... one moment" After some seconds, he slide my drink to my side. With one quick sip, I finish the drink and go outside, back to the.
"Oh, hey, it's you" A mare said at me, and looking at her direction I see a brown mare with dark brown mane, using a dwek hoodie with white sleeves, drinking soda. Wait, did I saw her before? "You are the guy from the pizzeria, correct" I nod. Yeah, I think remember her, but I think I saw her before that "I see you are out to get a drink, nice" She then look up the sky "Yeah, is good time to drink, since this day I feel some new wind blowing. Good winds, you know? Can you feel it?" I was confuse by what she was saying, but, I kinda understand what she was saying "This means that changes are coming. Good ones. So, don't be scare of any changes on your life, K?" I nod at here "Well, sorry for kepping you for no reason. You may go now, servant hahahaha. Just kidding, just kidding. See you around, dude" She said at me and returned to drink while looking at the sky. She, this mare, remind me someone...important. Forgetting about this and focusing in what was important, I return to the carriage and start pulling it back to my apartment. I hope my medical knowledges helps.
Everything blacked out for the 6 mares, but lights returned and they were back at Jacket's mind. Looking at the memory they were just in, it began to shine but the lights soon died as the memory, that was shattered, was now fixed "Okay, one more finished" Twilight said, and walk to Rarity "Now, you said you would leave after this one, right?"
Rarity start thinking for a second, and makes her decision "Actually, Darling, I think I stay" Her answer confuse her friends "You see, Jacket is a puzzle, and now that see how he and Beauty met, I kinda create a small interest on him. So, I think, just for a little while"
"Me too" Fluttershy said with a small smile "He was very kind in rescuing her, wanting to help her"
"And me" Rainbow Dash said "You know, for moral support"
"And me. After I see how he felt for killing a homeless pony by instinct, I don't think he is a someone bad" And then Applejack
"Yaaay!!" Pinkie said in happines, hugging her friends "The team stay together!" She said with a smile.
"Hehehe, yes Darling" Rarity said and look at Twilight "So, were do we go now?" She ask Twilight, who advance to the next shattered memories, stopping at the one they wanted "This, may 5th. Let's..."
