I Want Him Back

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

My name is Cale McManus.  22-year old assassin and the Horseman of War.  I wear a black shirt, a red leather jacket, dark pants, and dark running shoes.

Some ponies believe that I am a former assassin, but I am not. I'm still a lethal killing machine.  But I don't kill unless a situation calls for it.  If somepony is wanted dead or alive, I bring them back dead.  Alive is not an option.  It has been 2 years since the incident with Sir Prize and it has been a month and a half since the incident with an entity from Princess Luna/Nightmare Moon's dream.  I still have the marks from our battle all over my chest and back, and I'm told that said said marks make me look intimidating.  There are cruel people in this world... Men, women, and rarely children.  If I ever run into these types of people, I give them a one-way ticket to Hell without a second thought.  However, I do make up for kills I made to those who didn't deserve death by praying and asking God for forgiveness.  I hoped that one day, I pay the price.  The only time I don't ask God to forgive me, are the ones who sin 24/7.

I am not the only human living in Equestria however.

Remy 'Gunslinging' Brecht.  A gunslinger at the age of 24, quick with the trigger of any gun you put into his hands earned him why he is the Horseman of Death.

We wears a gray shirt, a black leather jacket, jeans, a black leather belt with a silver belt buckle with his initials on it, and black shoes.  He also wears a cap that he's so proud of, that anyone who touches it, will get a bullet.  Though this bullet is only for wounding, not killing.  The reason for that is because this cap was given to him by a friend of his family as a Christmas present who later died in a fire 2 months later.  From that point on, he wore that cap whenever he is not in his house.

Unlike me where I kill the ones who deserve to die, he kills the people he really doesn't like.  Also, he never targets women or children.  Also, he doesn't make up for his killings.  He just puts a bullet in his victims, and walks away and pretends the whole thing never happened.

Then there's Wild Card Jack.  A 21-year old thief and skilled gambler.  He is the Horseman of Famine because he likes to balance things out.  What I mean by that is that there are homeless, poor and needy people.  This upsets him to the point to where he thinks 'These people needs a home, money, and necessary items, I'll give it to them.'  How does he do this? He steals from the greedy of course.  Like I mentioned before, there are criminals, very rude, and greedy people.  Those are his victims.  He steals from the ones who have no respect for the law.  He also pickpockets them.   However, he only targets two items.

Wallets- Throws away I.D. and credits cards, hands out whatever cash is in it to the ones who needs money and sells the wallet to a used item shop.

Cell Phones- Deletes every data inside, has it fixed and repaired to the point where it looks brand new, and hands it to someone who needs a cell phone.

He can't promise the homeless people a home, but he can provide them money for necessary items such as food and drinks.  He also tells them the best place to take shelter in case it rains, snows, or if a storm is coming.

Last up is Casanova Chase.  A 19-year old who is the Horseman of Conquer.  By conquer, he likes conquering the hearts of girls who are the same age or about 3 years older than him.  But he doesn't flirt for love.  He does it for comfort.  Basically he is the Sherlock Holmes for girls.  He can deduce what they're going through, if they have boyfriends, etc.  The only one who he actually loves is a mare named Princess Twilight Sparkle.

Canterlot, 11:30 pm.

Every night, we Horsemen run night shifts around the castle along with the Canterlot guards.

1 patrols the halls

1 patrols the rooftops

1 patrols the gardens

and 1 spends 10 minutes guarding the throne room, Princess Twilight's room, and Princess Celestia's room while she sleeps.

Every other week, our roles switch.  In my case, my last job was to patrol the gardens.  Now I'm patrolling the halls.  During my walk, I saw Chase standing with Jack by Princess Twilight's room.  "Chase, it's ok, I got it under control" Wild Card Jack said.

"No, its not ok, she is worried sick" he said.

"What seems to be the problem here, and Chase, why aren't you patrolling the gardens?" I asked.  Chase sighed.

"Ok, Princess Twilight misses her doll and I'm worried about her" he answered.

"Come again?" Jack asked.

"Look.  Her doll, Mr. Smarty Pants.  She had him since she was a little filly.  And now, she misses him so much that she hasn't eaten the things she normally chows on, she hasn't been getting enough sleep, hell, she hasn't even left her room." I stroke my chin.  Come to think of it, Princess Twilight was acting oddly these last couple of weeks.

"Where did she see him last?" I asked.

"Ponyville" Chase answered.

"What's the plan?" Jack asked.

"Resume your posts.  I'll take a quick run to Ponyville and ask around.  Then I shall come back and report what I found.  Then we'll search for the doll together."

"Sounds like a plan" Chase said.  As I separated from the two, I heard a loud cry from inside the room and I didn't like it.  The noise sounded like a filly looking for their lost momma.

"I want him back!" Princess Twilight cried from inside the room.  "I want him back!"

  I stepped out of the castle and whistled.  A red portal opened and a red horse galloped out.  I mounted the steed, grabbed its reins and flicked it.  It galloped down the streets of Canterlot, over to the train station, and down the tracks towards Ponyville.  I have a feeling that my plan is easier said than done.
