Grand Theft Pony: San Equestrias
Ponies Don't Die Everyday
Load Full StoryNext ChapterLos Ponies. The city known as the envy of the world. Throughout all of Equestria many ponies dream of visiting the city. A city where entertainment is a trade. Here the famous filmmakers and celebrities mingle to the pleasures that life itself had to offer. A city with so much acclaim yet very few outside of the city limits know the darker truth. While the wealthy and famous live in extravagance, the poor have been left off to live in slums and ghettos. Many ponies who had dreams of making it big in Los Ponies were soon disillusioned as they couldn't realize their goals. The "envy of the world" was just another hypocrisy.
Applejack, also known as AJ, has been a street gangster ever since she was a filly. Growing up in East Los Ponies, life was hard and the promise of a successful life was bleak. Big Macintosh, her older brother, was one of the founders of the Apple Street Families. Both he and AJ have lived the tough life of the ghetto. Ever since their parents died they were left to take care of their younger brother and sister, Red Delicious and Applebloom. Life seemed to go as life always does, but tragedy was about to unfold.
It was just another weekend afternoon, Applejack and Applebloom were watching television while Big Mac was outside washing his car. Then, without a warning, a gunshot pierced the silence of the day. This woke up Red Delicious, who was sleeping on the couch.
"Hey sis, what was that?" said Red frantically.
"I'm not sure sugarcube. Sounded like a gunshot. We'd best ask Big Macintosh," said Applejack as she got up from the couch. She walked outside with Red and Applebloom following her. They approached Big Mac who had a worried look on his face.
"Mind telling us what that was?" asked Applejack.
"A gunshot. Come on sis even you know that," said Big Macintosh as he looked at her with a smug look.
"I know that," said Applejack, "i just wonder if it means trouble,"
"AJ, a gun always means trouble," said Big Macintosh
"Look Big Mac i'm not in the mood for any of your games," said an annoyed Applejack, "The sound of that gunshot was nearby. I know when there's trouble a brewing,"
"Well then why the hay are you asking me if it means trouble," said Big Macintosh with a cross expression. Applebloom heard her siblings argue and didn't want to hear it anymore.
"Alright you two, that's enough!" yelled Applebloom. This caught their attention and ceased the bickering. There was a moment of silence as Applejack was thinking thoroughly about what she was about to tell her little sister.
"Listen Applebloom, i'm worried for all of us," said Applejack, "Ever since mom and dad passed away, there's nopony else we could depend on," As she said these words, tears started to form around her eyes. That fateful day was engraved in her forever. Even when she wanted to forget it about it, the memory came back with more intensity.
"It just isn't fair!" thought Applejack, "Why did Mom and Pop have to go? Why?" Applejack felt guilty. In the back of her mind, she thought that she could have saved her parents from their oncoming death. To see them lying cold on the asphalt was something no pony should ever see. Applebloom noticed her sister's tears and gave her a hug.
"Don't worry about it too much sis," she said trying to console her, "We've got through all these years. Mom and pop would be proud of us," Hearing this made Applejack smile. Even when they're not around, their presence is still felt.
"Thanks Applebloom," said Applejack. Unbeknownst to them, an ASF member came up to them running. From the looks of it, it seems like he came out of a desperate situation. Applejack recognized who it was.
"Now what's Clint up to?" said Applejack.
"I'm not sure but hopefully he's not gonna tell us one of his bucking jokes," said Big Macintosh. He ran up to Big Macintosh who was as confused as the rest of them.
"Big Mac I got some bad news," said Clint.
"What is it Clint? This better not be one of your annoying antics. We're not falling for it," said Big Macintosh.
"No way Big Mac, i'm serious," said Clint.
"Alright then speak up," said Big Macintosh who was still doubtful about what Clint had to say.
"Ok man listen to this. So me and the homeponies were just cruising through the hood when out of bucking nowhere the bales starting shooting at us," said Clint, " We didn't see nobody on foot but right behind us they were trying to pull of a drive-by on us. Man I managed to jump out of the car before the Bales blew up the car. Damn, that was close but Lil Fuji and Yellowbloom are dead,"
"What!" said Big Macintosh with a tone of anger, "They're dead?"
"That's what I'm telling you, and that's not the worst part. The bucking Bales are driving over here planning to kill everybody in Apple Street," said Clint. The news of the Bales coming seemed unlikely but seeing how they killed Lil Fuji and Yellowbloom, it seemed like they were capable of doing it. Big Macintosh knew what he had to do.
"Alright everypony, y'all get strapped up and get ready to shoot these Bale motherbuckers," said Big Mac. As all the ASF got themselves armed, Applejack sent Red and Applebloom inside.
"Now listen here you two, I can't have you out here it's gonna be dangerous," said Applejack.
"But i wanna kill some Bales," said Red.
"Yeah me too!" said Applebloom. Applejack was annoyed by her younger siblings. She didn't want them to get hurt but they just didn't get the message.
"Okay you two that's enough!" said Applejack, "I said you can't come out here and you are going to do what I told ya to!" The two young ponies went inside with their ears down, complying with their sister's orders. Applejack resumed what she was doing as she put the ammo in her gun.
"You sure about this Big Mac?" asked Applejack.
"Sure I'm sure AJ," said Big Macintosh, "It's for Apple Street, for the families,"
"If you say so brother," said Applejack. As they continued gearing up. An ASF member yelled out to everyone.
"Hey everypony! They're here! The Bales!" he said.
"Alright let's show them what we're made of," said Big Macintosh. After he said this, gunfire started to happen. It was raining bullets from both sides. Although there were more Bales, the Apples had the advantage of home territory. Some were inside the houses sniping the enemy. Even with this advantage, bodies were still falling. Applejack kept firing but she was running low on ammo.
"Darn, I just had to run out of ammo now," said Applejack as she pulled out a gun from a dead family member lying next to her. The shooting continued as more and more ponies from each side died by the bullets. Inside the house, Applebloom and Red were inside hearing everything that was happening. Red was starting to get worried, thinking that AJ or Big Mac could have been killed.
"I need to go see what's going on," said Red.
"What are you out of your mind?" said Applebloom, "You heard sis it's dangerous!"
"What if something bad happened to AJ and Big Mac?" said Red, "I need to go see," He pushed out of the room and was trying to get to the entrance door, but Applebloom was holding him back.
"Don't do it Red! Just don't! You gotta stop being stubborn," said Applejack. After she said this, Red knocked her off.
"I'm gonna go see what's going on. Let go of me!" said Red and he made his way to the exit.
"Fine, see if I care," said Applebloom. She was mad at him but at the same she was worried. Worried that he might get shot.
As Red walked outside, he saw the aftermath of the gunfight that happened. Many ponies were dead, most of them being Bales. To his joy, Applejack and Big Mac were still alive. He was relieved to see that his family was still alive. As he ran up to them, a bale, who was still alive, wanted to get another kill before he died to blood loss. His sights were aimed at red and he had his trigger hoof ready.
"Applejack! Big Macintosh! Over he—," said Red. He stopped when the bullet hit him. Applejack and Big Macintosh ran to Red, who fell down.
"Red!" said Applejack as she couldn't believe what was happening. Meanwhile an ASF memeber shot the Bale who shot Red.
"Applejack! It hurts alot! Help me!" he said as he was bleeding. Applejack and Big Macintosh were trying to keep him well.
"You," Big Macintosh said at an ASF member, "call the ambulance quick!" The ASF member quickly ran to the house to call the ambulance.
"Don't worry Red, you're gonna be ok," said Applejack. Applebloom ran outside to see what was going on. When she found out about Red being shot, she was breaking into tears.
"I don't want Red to die," thought Applebloom as she was crying, "Why did this have to happen? If only he had listen to me, he would still be alive,"
Every minute waiting for the ambulance felt like an eternity. Applejack was in disbelief of what was going on but knew that this was reality, not a nightmare. Every second that passed was another second lost. But out of everyone feeling pain, Red felt it the most.
"I don't wanna die. There's so much I wanted to do," thought Red, "Oh Celestia, why is this happening?"
Soon the ambulance came and the technicians mounted up Red. The ambulance was followed by Big Mac's car and they were soon on their way to the hospital.
