The Four Horsemen of Equestria 2: Lucifer and the Seven Deadly Sins

  When they entered, Remy and Chase had to walk down this dark, neon-lighted corridor.  On either side of the walls were various neon colored designs of a black widow spider.  Not far from them, loud music can be heard.  2 bouncers stood on either side of a revolving door and both looked tough.  "Tickets and I.D.s?" One of the bouncers asked.  The two pulled out their tickets stubs and handed it to them.  The bouncers noticed the writing on the stubs.

"We have a meeting with The Rat" Remy said.

"And your I.D.s?" The second bouncer asked.  "No oe can go in without an I.D., even if they have a meeting with The Rat."

"Sure.  Here's my I.D." Remy quickly struck the left bouncer in the throat and Chase then struck the other at the side of the right bouncer's neck.  As soon as the two thugs hit the floor, Remy looted a silenced handgun from one of the bouncers' back pocket and Chase found an Uzi lying in the corner.  Remy cocked the handgun and planted a bullet in each bouncer's head and turned the safety on again.

"Trade?" Chase asked.  Remy glanced at his handgun, and then Chase's Uzi.

"Eh, why the hell not?" He asked as the two traded weapons. Chase tucked his handgun in his pocket but Remy just pulled the slide back on his Uzi.

"What the hell are you doing?" Chase asked him, shocked.

"Strip clubs are favorite hideouts for criminals.  I must be prepared" Remy answered him in a calm way.  Chase gave him a look.  "Oh all right fine" he gave in, turning the safety back on.  "But of things go to hell, I'm pulling the trigger."

"That makes two of us" Chase said as he went through the revolving doors.  Remy followed suit.  On the other side, they saw patrons dining, drinking, smoking, and trying to flirt with strippers.  Several strippers stood on stages dancing erotically.  Remy took a quick glance and saw something wring.  Chase was ogling at the dancers.  He smacked Chase in the head.

"Get your eyes off of the strippers.  Your heart belongs to Princess Twilight Sparkle!" Remy shouted.  If music wasn't playing right now, everyone would've heard him.  "Now get your head in the game.  We have to find The Rat." He glanced around the area.  "The ticket did say that he was in a back room."

Back Room

The room in the back was the only part of the bar that wasn't dark and lighted with neon lights.  In fact, all it had were regular lights.  Separating the bar itself and the room was a large window.  Anyone in this room can see what's going on in the bar, but for anyone in the bar, this window will be a mirror to them.

  A man in a black suit holding a glass of red wine that looked like he hasn't taken a sip from it yet sat in an armchair.  He had black hair gelled back, and a pencil thin mustache.  Lucifer stood in front of him tapping the goat-head shaped knob on his walking stick.  "Ok out with it" he said.  Standing behind Lucifer is Envy and Wrath.

"The deal's off.  I'm not sending my men over to your goon's drug storage.  I'm perfectly comfortable here."

"You once worked for one of the 12 most wanted criminals in Hell City.  And wasn't there a law stating every gang should respect their new leader?"

"Work for Greed? Please, the man cares about nothing but drugs."

"Says the man who sits on his chair and ogles at the strippers and whores!" Wrath shouted, unsheathing his sword.  Lucifer held up his walking stick to block Wrath's strike.

"Cool it.  You will have your moment."

"Of course sir.  My apologies sir" Wrath said, sheathing his sword again.  Lucifer approached closer and looked over The Rat.

"Do you mind? I have two gangsters coming to meet with me."

"And discuss what?" Lucifer asked.

"We will no longer join your criminal organization.  I run my own organization! This club and bar, this Black Widow's Nest will be the next big hideout for any criminal in Hell City! Oh, and side note, most of the patrons amd workers out there are part of my gang, so if you wish to continue living to run whatever organization it is you lead, I suggest you leave! Oh and you can just take your--" as he ranted, Lucifer made a gesture to Wrath who swiftly pulled out his sword and sliced The Rat's head clean off.  Lucifer quickly grabbed the glass of red wine before it shattered on the floor.

"Now I see how he got his name." He drank down the serving of red wine in one gulp.  "Always ratting out on people."  He turned to Wrath.  "You're The Rat now.  The gangsters want a meeting with The Rat, we'll give them one."  Envy and Lucofer approached the door.   Lucifer stopped and turned to Wrath.  "Oh, there is a really small chance that the gangster could be Horsemen in disguise.  If that's the case, don't kill them."

"And why not?" Wrath snapped.

"Wrath my dear boy, no matter how badly you strike them, they will never back down.  The only one who could really make them surrender is me.  So if you think you can take them on, by all means to for it, but don't go yelling at me when you find out that they are the toughest sons of bitches you've ever encountered."  Wrath let out a frustrated grunt.  "I'm taking that as an understanding." Lucifer and Envy left the room.  "Oh" Lucifer said, sticking his head back in.  "And do something about that body." His head retreated from the room and the door closed.  Wrath glanced at the head which had already made its way by the bar.  It left behind a trail of blood.  By Wrath's feet was the headless body lying on a pool of blood.

Back in the Bar

Remy and Chase sat by the bar counter and looked around.  "One of these crooks should know The Rat" Remy said.

"And the problem is, probably a lot of them know him" Chase added.  "If they suspect foul play, all guns are up, people are screaming, and bodies are hitting the floor."  The two turned back to their drinks unaware that Lucifer and Envy walked by them.   When the two men exited the bar, Lucifer turned to Envy.  "Pay a visit to Greed.  Tell him and his goons that there are buyers coming within the hour."

"Yes sir" Envy said.  "But sir, what of the Horsemen?"

"The Horsemen are my problem, not yours.  Just do what I say."  Envy nodded and went the opposite direction.
