Kickplot

Things had, for the most part, returned to normal for Nova. Sure. he had been all over the news. but for now he was enjoying a coffee with Spring. Until Kickplot made a return, he could rest easy.

“So I’ve been thinking of trying to find Kickplot” Spring said bluntly. His ears perked up when he heard that. “I just need his help with something is all”

“Well, you know you can tell me.” Nova smiled. He would find out what she needed help with and go take care of the problem. “I’m no superhero, but I might be able to help.”

“Well, one of the charities I work with does a needle exchange.” She sighed, knowing how drugs such as cumblious had become a problem in the world. “One of the ponies that is there quite frequently, he’s become a bit of a problem for me.” She shuddered slightly. “I just want to know if I can get Kickplot to help me somehow. I’m worried turning to the authorities may make it worse for me.”

Nova nodded. He knew what he had to do and that was get information. He wasn’t gonna just jump into this blindly.

As the day passed, Nova had been planning how he would take out, Medicamentis, the stallion Spring had told him about. Thankfully he had given Spring a fake address to drop a letter to. It was in an abandoned house, but as far as she knew it was Kickplot’s base. Knowing where to go, Nova walked in his wet suit with his batons, and now a cheap pocket taser he… borrowed from his mother. Last time made him realize his swing was a bit too weak on its own.

He hoped to be able to talk to Medicamentis and get him to leave Spring alone for good, but sadly he didn’t think that would work, so for his own personal protection he had brought his weapons, if somepony could even call those weapons. He walked into a rather large, almost run down looking brick building and went up to the fifth floor. According to the letter, he was in apartment 4-E.

When he walked up, he saw a rather large and bulky pegasus brandishing a large hunting knife on his side. Nova gulped and walked up to him. “Hey, I-I need to speak with Medicamentis.” He knew why he was nervous, but he couldn’t stop asking himself why he was.

The larger stallion chuckled. “Go home. kid” He flashed the knife. “It’s not Nightmare Night.” He stated in a threatening manner.

“I’m here on behalf of Spring Meadows.” As soon as the sentence left his mouth, the bulky stallion went inside the apartment and came out, motioning for Nova to go in. “Thank you.” He said as he walked in. He could smell cigars and different drugs, but he knew what he had to do. “Now which one of you is Medicamentis?” He asked the group of unpleasant looking ponies in front of him.

A rather tall pink mare with a white mane stood up. “That would be me.” She giggled. “Can’t you tell from my curves and my nice flank?” She burst out laughing at the confusion on the colt’s face.

“Well listen, I have a message from Spring.” A, to Nova, massive beige earth pony stood up.

“And, uhh, just what could that message be?” He lit a cigar. The smoke was as grey as his mane, and smelled just as ashey.

Nova took a deep breath. He had to in order to keep himself calm and not make his suit a literal wet suit. “You are going to leave her alone. Understand?” Everypony in the room began laughing at him. “Or so help me I’ll rip off your fucking testicles and replace your eyes with them.”

“You seem to have a death wish kid.” Medicamentis said, grabbing a pistol. “So now I’ll grant that wish.” Before he could pull the trigger Nova shot the taser and watched the barbs land between his eyes as he was being shocked.

“Alright. now its time to die.” One of the unicorns said, breaking a beer bottle to make Nova regret his stupid decision.

As if by sheer luck, a filly wearing almost all black leather and a purple and black plaid skirt with a mask came in through the window.

“Who the hell is this?” Asked one of the stallions in confusion.

Her mane and tail were purple as well, but when she lifted her head they both noticed she was wearing a mask. “Is this super day or some shi-” He didn’t even finish his sentence as a butterfly knife made its way into his throat, turning his sentence into a gaspy gurgle.

Nova fell down in shock at what was happening and backpedaled into the corner. The filly seemed to have a doubled edged spear on her back that she expertly grabbed with her wings and began slicing at some of the ponies in the room. Nova wasn’t able to fathom what was going on how was a filly better than he was/ And stronger from what it seemed or maybe she wasn’t a filly and was just really short. He wasn’t sure where it was more embarrassing to get one upped by a kid or a midget. Whichever it was, Nova was amazed.

“Duck!” She shouted. When she did that. he was positive it was a filly, but did as she said. The filly slammed the spear-that Nova noted had now been pulled in two halves-into the door. He also noted the belt she wore that had the letters “H-F” on them. He wondered what it could stand for. When he looked back. he noticed she was offering a hoof to help him up.

“I’ll kill you both!” The white mare from earlier grabbed a shattered bottle, but only made it one step before she fell to the ground, blood pouring from a new hole in her head that came from the window.

“Sorry, Daddy.” The filly pressed something on her ear, apologizing to some mystery stallion. “I know, back on the wall.” She quickly grabbed the spear and put it back together. “Come with me.” She told Nova, jumping out the window and spreading her wings, allowing her to glide to the next building with ease.

Nova, however, knew he’d have to jump. When he looked back, he saw a large stallion dressed up almost like he was Bat-Mane waving at him. Instead of taking the roof route, Nova ran. It was the best thing he could think to do.

As soon as he got back home, Nova made sure to hide the suit in his closet as well as his batons. “That was crazy” He mumbled, still shaky from the whole experience. “Who the fuck where those two?!”

“Hit-Filly and Big Daddy.” Said a gruff voice. Nova spun around and saw the two of them and began wondering if they had followed him home. Or how they got in his room. “And no, we didn’t follow you home, if that’s what you are wondering.” He felt his heart stop for a second “No, I can’t read minds.”

“H-how the hell did you find me?” He watched as the stallion, who he noted was still dressed as Bat-Mane, pulled out some kind of device that he had heard of. It was supposed to track a unicorn’s magic to where they lived. He gulped, feeling scared. “Listen, what happened there, I’m done I’m just going to retire the suit.”

“But you looked so funny, all huddled up and scared” The filly commented.

“And you have potential.” Big Daddy said. “We saw what you did on the news, Nova.” He showed the device again. “And we want you to partner up with us”

“L-like I said,” He stuttered, “I’m done.”

“Well, in case you change your mind.” Big Daddy placed a match on Nova’s bedside table. “That match will allow you to send us letters. You just write something down and burn it. The match is reusable, so don’t worry about that.” He smirked. “Just write “Going on vacation” and we’ll know how to find you,” Nova dumbly nodded and soon the two left out his window just as they came in,
