From Hooves to Hands; the Dust Remains

Walker awoke with a crick in his back and a headache. Slowly he arose and began moving toward Fluttershy's home.

When he arrived at the door he heard a soft crying from behind it. Opening the door and drawing his .45 called out. "W-we're in h-here..." Was the response he got.

Entering he found Monarch and a beaten Gale in the living room. "What happened to him?!" He asked kneeling down beside Gale and drawing his medical supplies.

"We got up this morning to find a bunch of men pulling Fluttershy out of the house... h-he tried fighting back but they over powered him. T-they left a note." She told him, drawing a note from her pocket.

He read it over quickly. "We found you, and we found her... if you want her to live come to the cliffs below Canterlot." Was all it said. Dropping it he ran out of the house and through town.

Entering the town he was tackled by Rainbow Dash. "What did you do?!" She screamed at him.

Throwing her off he jumped back to his feet. "I didn't do anything ya crazy bitch! Now if you excuse me I have to go save Fluttershy." He said before running through town, knocking people out of his way. She watched him go before running to find Twilight.

He ran through town and toward the mountain that he under stood was where Canterlot sat. At the base he looked for a way up to the cliffs. Taking a deep breath he grabbed a stone from the mountain. "Benji don't let me down now!" He said, slowly climbing up.

Reaching the top he saw a guard standing on the ledge above him. Pulling his .45 he shot the guard in the leg. The round pierced the guards leg forcing it to give out from beneath him. The guard fell forward over the ledge; looking down all that was seen was a spec hitting the ground and a splatter of red.

Hefting himself up he looked around, no one. No other guards were in the area, not even any life signatures nearby; not like it mattered.

Standing up he pulled the survivalist rifle from his bag. Unloading the 12.7mm clip he pulled out another clip, same ammo with different dynamics. 12.7mm ammo is powerful; just less powerful .50 cal rounds, 12.7mm Hollow Point ammo is like a smack to the face and a boot to the dick. The hollowed round makes it mushroom and fragment on impact, killing fleshy targets with ease.

"Whoever the fuck decided they wanted to take that fucking girl better get his ass out here right now and throw himself off this cliff... because if I have to come find you than I'm gonna bash your brain into the mountain, pull out your bones and suck the marrow from them, make your skin into a festive fucking hat, and eat your internal organs while you are still alive!" He screamed into the cave.

When no response came he hefted his rifle and began moving in. First he could hear the boots scuffing the ground in the shadows, then he saw their signatures. Turning he saw a door that held no signatures. Opening it and walking in he saw a telephone with the 'call waiting' light on.

"Hello." He said coldly into the phone.

"Hello sir, I see you made it." Said a monotone voice from through the phone. "You killed my boys down in Ponyville... as the good book said an eye for an eye."

"Listen, you let her go now that'll be the end of it; I will not look for you, I will not pursue you... But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you." For a moment he thought he heard laughing. "Then I guess I'm going to be coming for you." He said about to hang up the phone.

Suddenly he heard a heart breaking noise from the speaker. "W-w-walker." Fluttershy said. "T-they came a-and took me in the night... t-they beat my dad."

He felt a tear in his eye. "Fluttershy listen to me, they aren't going to hurt you. I'll tu-"

Fluttershy cut him off with words he never though he'd hear. "Kill them, make them pay." He heard a sharp smacking noise and the phone changing hands.

Walker kicked the table the phone was on. "Don't push me, don't push me... let it go I'll give you a war you won't believe." And with that he slammed the phone down and walked out.

Entering the hallway he saw five guys standing around; guns pointed on him. Smiling he sat down his rifle and put his hands up. When the one closest to him lowered his rifle and went to grab his hands his training kicked in.

Grabbing the guy he flipped him around, he may not have killed him but the hail of gunfire his comrades unleashed did the job. Grabbing the dead mans gun he trained his fire on the closest enemy; unloading the clip into his chest point blank.

Dropping the dead man he rolled behind the next guy; grabbing his rifle in the dive. Landing behind him he  put the carrying handle to his neck and pulled back on both sides of the rifle. He felt the man struggling to no avail. When he felt the last ounce of life leave the man he flipped around his rifle and opened vats.

Selecting his targets he put two shots in one guys head and one in the others stomach. He watched as if time had slowed down when the rounds hit each man, killing one and wounding the other. Dropping the dead man he was still holding he walked over and kicked the man still alive.

"Can you hear me hillbilly boy! I ain't done with you, I'm about to go medieval on your ass!"  He yelled pulling is broad machete. Reaching down he grabbed the mans hand and put the lade on his middle finger. "You're about to finger fuck your new hole."

The mans screams filled the cave as Walker slowly cut off his finger. When the finger was left with just a little bit of  flesh holding it to his hand he ripped it off, taking a sizable amount of flesh from the area around with it.

The man's screaming was nothing compared to the sounds he made when he took the bloody separated finger and shoved it into the wound in his stomach. Standing, Walker made the man think it was over... until he turned and stomped the finger into the mans body.

With a final scream the man died from the pain. "That's a sample of what I'm about to do." He said to the dead body before walking off.

Body after body fell to his rifle and the hollow points. Finally he reached a room at the end of the cave with no more than three signatures behind it. He brought up his boot and kicked in the door. Silently Walker stood in the door with his rifle in one hand and his duster blowing in the wind.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw a man grumble and slowly make his way toward him. "So you the fucker I'm supposed to kill?" He asked Walker.

Walker responded by pulling the Light Shining in Darkness and pulling back the slide.  The man was about to do something when he saw him putting a strange round into the chamber. "Don't worry, you'll see what this does in a moment. " He told the man.

Smirking the man charged at Walker. When he was almost to him he felt something pierce his stomach. Looking down he saw the small red handle of the throwing knife sticking out of his gut. Slowly he looked up at Walker. "This is one kick in the head." He could almost see the evil smirk behind the mans mask.

Walker pulled up the Light Shining in Darkness and cocked back the hammer. The over powered hand loaded round flew from the barrel and impacted the mans head; reducing it to nothing but blood sausage and thick red paste.

Holstering the .45 he looked up at the man. He saw the familiar fire in his eyes, the look a man gets when he's loosing the battle that he knows if he doesn't win he dies. The legate wore the look, Joe Cobb wore the look. All who wore that look died because that look signifies a broken will and a loosing spirit.

"So finally we meet. Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you! You have been a bothersome one, and now I shall lay my vengeance upon you. You're gonna die here; and I'm gonna smile while you do." The man said to him.

"What's your name?" Walker asked.

"They call me Kenrick." He responded.

Sighing Walker took off his duster and un-clipped his gun belt, taking off his helmet he shook out his helmet hair. "You wanna fight; we'll fight. But yea know, thou shall learn the fury of a godless killer. As god can not fight this battle, and I shall not go easy on you.Thanks for the name, now I know what to put on your tombstone"

The man smiled and took off his gun belt. Walking closer he brought up his fist and made a gesture to come on. Walker brought up his fist and jabbed the man in the throat.

Recoiling he grabbed his throat; lowering his defense. Up came Walkers knee into the mans gut. Doubling over he saw Walker stand above him. Walker grabbed the mans neck and began to squeeze. "I'm gonna send you to a deep, dark place; and I'm gonna have fun doing it!"

The man lashed out and hit Walker in the nose. He recoiled allowing the man time to get up. "I was God! I ruled men and towns! The princesses were blind to the fact they had no control over me and my kingdom. Those who joined me were rewarded with glory and gold, power was saved for  those who had minds rivaling mine. You could have been a king in my court! A soldier like you would have been an amazing asset, but you decide to kill my soldiers and me for some bitch!"

"I'm not doing this for her, I'm doing this for honor, justice, and freedom. I'm killing you for retribution!" Walker yelled; running full sprint at the man. He tackled the man to the ground and began to beat him severely. "Though. Shalt. Feel. Gods. Wrath!"

Grabbing the mans shirt collar he dragged him back through the cave to the cliff looking over Ponyville and the surrounding area. "You see this land? God promised it to all for free, not to be ruled by any except for him. Know, that the sin of blasphemy cannot be forgiven. And so I say, you shall die, one a throne of greed and lies, to be brought forth before God and judged for your sins. You may know a line from the bible, but you know not that god said not to compare yourself to others; especially the Lord."

In an instant Walker's hands transferred to the side of the mans head; snapping his neck silently.

He looked down at the body of the man laying on the ground floor below him before remembering the woman he left in the Anti-Chamber. He turned and ran toward the room. Entering he saw the only life signature in the room. Walking up he saw a beaten and bloody Fluttershy passed and tied to a chair.

Walking over and grabbing his things he pulled his Broad Machete from his holster and cut the ropes; releasing her from the chair. When the ropes released she almost fell to the floor, if Walker hadn't caught her just in time. "Easy now girl, let's get you to a hospital."

He picked her up and began to walk toward the exit, leaving his things upon the cave floor. He could come back nad get them later; for now the only thing that mattered was getting Fluttershy to safety.
