The Bounty of Evil
Black mask
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs they flew closer towards the prison they can see more of the damage that was caused by Black mask as an army of swats teams were entering the there is another main gate to the prison. As the group scanned more of the prison Flash Sentry saw another entrance to the prison and pointed at it and called out.
"Hey there is another way into the prison." Flash then poked his head out of the carriage and called out to the two guards "take us down there now!"
"Sir yes sir!" they both called out in unison as they lead the carriage down to the side entrance of the prison.
The carriage landed at the side entrance as did Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy as the rest of the crew got out of the carriage. Slash Sentry walked up to the entrance and examined it until he turned back to face the mane six. "It looks like Black mask entered the prison here."
"So what is the plan" Twilight asked Flash.
"Well I'll take these two guards with me go to the front entrance and see if we can find Loeb and know what is the saturation in there, the six of you entire through there, and it looks like you can all fit through that hole in the wreckage. Once your in go and stop Black mask and see if you can find the warden."
"You can count on us, come on girls lets put a stop to this and head on home" Twilight said to her friends as they ran towards the entrance and started crawling through but before Twilight went through she turned to face Flash Sentry "Flash .... be careful okay?" She asked him but Flash looked at her in the eyes with a smile. "You to Twilight." And with that he and the other two guards made their way to the front entrance as Twilight stood there still looking at him until she heard a voice calling to her from behind.
"Come on Twi’ we need to go" Applejack said to her as Twilight turned to face her and crawled her way through the wrecked entrance. As twilight made it through and the whole group continued their way through the prison they can see more of the distraction caused by Sionis.
The group made their way down the hallway until they started to hear voices coming from around the corner, one of the voices which sounded like an older colt who was begging for his life and the other one who sounded like a younger colt but had a scruffy voice. The mane six went to go check it out until they see through a sizable gap in another wreckage. They see Warden Law getting beaten with a baseball bat by a colt unicorn who was wearing a black suit and wearing a black mask.
"She said she'd leave my family alone if I did what she asked." Law said to the goon but the goon was unfazed and he sounded like he was enjoying the fear coming from the old colt.
"O I hope that she keeps her word. Thing is, you ain't gonna live long enough to find out. Sorry Warden, Black mask can't leave any loose ends lyin around."
The mane six continued to watch the thug beat up the warden until Rainbow Dash had enough and started to make her way behind him but stopped when Pinkie's hoof touched her shoulder.
"Dashie what are you doing?" The party pony asked her friend.
"Putting a stop to this now." Rainbow replied and with that she made her way behind the thug. As the thug hit Law again he spoke "Oh I'll kill ya all right. But by the time I do, that eye won't be the only thing your missin." As Warden Law prepared for another blow he sees Rainbow Dash creeping up to the thug and points towards and looked up at the thug .
"Wait, look behind you!"
“O come on do you think I'm stupid, do you really believe that I am going to fall for that old trick, I mean come on Warden try something original." As the thug raised the baseball bat with his magic to strike the critical blow to the warden Rainbow Dash hit the back of the guys head with her hoof as the goon collapsed to the floor unconscious.
Law looked at Dash as he got up.
"Thank you, you saved my life."
“No problem, come on guys it's safe." As the rest of the mane six crawled through the wreckage they went up to Dash and Law.
"You guys are the elements of Harmony right, O thank Celestia you guys came, the saturation here is getting out of control." Law said to the mane six.
"Warden Law do you know where we can find Black mask." Twilight asked the Warden. Law just merely shook his head in response.
"I don't know where she is, maybe one of her goons knows where you can find her." As they finished talking with the Warden they hear loud and deep roar coming from a door behind them and Fluttershy started to shake in fear and asked "what was that."
"I don't know what it is- but whatever it was it’s huge." Law answered.
"Ok will go and stop Black mask, you stay here where it will be safe, come on guys lets go." As the group left Law alone they made their way to the door and opened it revealing even more of the prison, they scanned around to see ponies from colts to mares in orange jumpsuits yelling death threats to the mane six but they were not scared because they knew that there locked up and can’t breakout because of a magical barrier surrounding the cell bars but they were all a little bit frightened because most of these thugs were in here because on them. But they knew that they had to move on in order to find Black mask. In the room that they were in they a busted down metal gate with stars behind it leading down.
"I think Black mask went this way, come on" As the mane six went down the stars they see two of Black mask's goons talking to each other. "Those are Black mask's thugs, I bet we can make them tell us where we can find her." Twilight said. As they rest of the group nodded in agreement they walked up to the thugs, as one of them spots the mane six and his eyes widen behind his mask.
"O shit it’s them, why are they here?!"
"Who cares kill them!" The other thug as he charged towards raising up his pipe and ready to strike but stopped when Rarity used her magic to take control of the pipe and struck it down on the thug knocking him unconscious. As the other thug saw this he dropped his weapon and said "Look I don't wont any trouble ok just let me go alright."
Rainbow Dash stepped towards the thug and grabbed him by the collar with her hoof and said in a demanding voice "Where can we find Black mask."
"How in the name of Tartarus should I know." The thug responded. Rainbow was not amused “well then I hope you enjoyed having your stallionhood because unless you talk you’re not going to have any kids pretty soon." "Screw you." said the thug.
"I don't have time for this." Rainbow Dash said losing her patience with the thug as she then bucked him in said stallionhood.
The thug gave in "Ok. Ok. She's heading to the execution chamber- with Loeb." Upon hearing this the rainbow maned mare smiled.
"Smart move. Now you get to take a nap." and with that she punched him square in the face knocking him out.
"Did ya hear that? Sounds like that Black Mask fella has Loeb." Applejack said.
"Then we better hurry come on." As the girls made it down another hallway they stopped to see a flying looking creature thing hovering around the hall.
"What is that thing, would you know what that weird creature is darling?" Rarity asked her friend Fluttershy who just shook her head and replied.
"I’ve never seen a creature like that one before. It’s so…. metallic."
"It's not a creature but a robot drone but it doesn't belong here I wonder who is controlling it." Twilight said to the group as she looked at the drone looking bug.
"Don't worry guys I can catch it." Rainbow Dash said with a smirk as she was getting ready to chase the drone. However she was stopped by Twilight “We can't waste our time with that thing, we need to save Commissioner Loeb and stop Black mask."
"Oh come on you silly Twilight! Maybe that drone thingy can lead us to Black Mask and Loeb!" Pinkie said. Twilight paused for a moment before she realized that…. Pinkie Pie was right.
"Alright then lets follow it before we lose sight of the thing." twilight said as her and her friends tried to catch up with it until it flew straight up in the air, crashing through the glass above.
"Darn it we lost the drone. It’s fine we can't be too far behind from Black mask." As they continued on through the prison encountering minimal resistance from a few inmates that were out from their cells they reach another door hoping it lead to Sionis but when they opened it they couldn't believe what they saw. It was another of Black masks' goons beating on a police officer but with him they saw a huge crocodile shaped pony who had green scales, red eyes and was standing on his hind hoofs making him bigger than even Macintosh and instead of front hoofs he had big sharp claws and had pointy teeth inside his muzzle.
As soon as the crocodile pony was down beating down on another officer he left, leaving behind the thug alone with the cop. As the Twilight, Rainbow Dash and Applejack dealt with the thug and saw if the guard was okay as well as the other guard, who Fluttershy, Rarity and Pinkie Pie went to see if he was okay also. After both guards were fine the group regrouped at the door where the crocodile pony went through, upon regrouping Twilight said "I never seen anything like that, do you think he could have been that way because of a spell gone wrong or something."
"The poor thing I can’t imagine what its like living like that." Fluttershy said feeling bad about him even though he brutally beaten a police officer.
"Maybe that crocodile creep could be working for Black mask we should fallow him." Rainbow Dash said. Rarity looked at Rainbow Dash with a risen eyebrow and Dash seeing it "What!"
"No offense darling but it's rude to call someone a creep when they look different, even if they do look scary and beat up a cop but still its rude." Before Rainbow Dash could object to Rarity she was cut off by Twilight "Look lets have this conversation later but right now Dash could be right, let's follow him and see were he goes he could lead us to Sionis."
As the group were about to open the door they hear multiple voices behind the door, they opened the door slowly to see four of Black mask's goons hanging around an open elevator shaft that descends down and it looked like the crocodile pony went through it because the elevator doors were ripped right open. As they got closer to the thugs they can start to hear their conversation as they can tell even if they cant see their faces because of the Black masks that their wearing but it was two colts and two mares.
"Hey did you guys hear what happened to Billy?" Colt #1 asked his friends.
"No, actually I haven't seen him in weeks where is he." said colt #2.
"Well a couple of weeks ago he went to Sionis's office and walked up to her while she was doing some paperwork and she had her mask off, so anyway he walked up to her and said...." colt #1 was about to finish until he was interrupted by colt #2 thug.
"Wait a minute I have two questions, one how do you know this and two what does she look like, I mean I always see her but she has that mask on."
"I know this because I was in the room when it happened and she is beautiful. She has white fur, long black mane and red crimson eyes. Man you take a look at her and she will leave you breathless." answered colt #1.
"Easy their Fido continue on with your story before you drool all over inside your mask." said mare #1 chuckling at the colt.
"Right. Right. Sorry anyway I was in their, guarding her for the night, when Billy entered the office, so he walks up to her looks at her and says, ‘Hey Sionis do you think you maybe you can go out with me?’ Upon hearing this, colt #2 and the two other mares as well as the mane six eyes widened as they are listened in, even the mane six still keeping their distance away from the thugs.
"No way, then what happened?" asked mare #2 wanting to know more. Colt #1 continues on "So yea he asks her out she stops what she was doing looks at Billy straight in the eyes which felt like a good 5 minutes until she smiled and said ‘Sorry I can’t there is one problem’ and after she said that she used her magic to turn Billy into a rat and said she doesn't date rats."
After hearing that, the rest of the thugs were in shock as well as the mane six feeling bad for this Billy guy. "Damn I guess he wasn't her type." said colt #2.
"Its not because he wasn't her type but she doesn't date colts she has a marefriend, she is a lesbian."
"Really I guess Billy didn't know, but he was an idiot." said mare #2.
After hearing enough the mane six went up to the four thugs, after dealing with them they made their way to the elevator shaft and looked down to see a very short on top of the elevator to the bottom floor. After they all dropped down safely they looked around and see a huge window. They all walked up to the window to see a group of inmates around and the same crocodile pony they saw earlier slamming a prison guard to the floor, they also see two of Black masks goons holding commissioner Loeb and in the middle of it all they see Black mask, she was wearing a white suit, black shirt and a white tie which was covering her whole body and her mane and most of all she wore a Black mask resembling a pony skull and it was covering her whole head.
"They say crime doesn't pay-” The masked pony said as the crocodile pony tore open another guard. “-but somepony ought to check the good police commissioner's pockets because they are LINED with My money. And what have I got to show for it. My own henchponies in the slammer. Not no more, No. Tonight- we're making some changes, some big changes." Black mask said as she was walking away, being followed by the crocodile pony who now was pushing Loeb with his claw as they walked through the door leaving one of Black mask's thugs and four inmates.
"Come on girls lets go and save Loeb and stop Black mask." Twilight said as they all crawled through the vent that was to the left of them, they see the opening and looked down to see the four inmates and the black mask wearing thug. They all jumped down from the vent and dealt with the prison inmates but Twilight saw the goon rushing for the door and pulling down a lever raising up the magical barrier bars. He stood there looking at them very cock sure on himself and crossing his forearms
"You six aren't getting past me so why don't you all turn around and walk back home and not get into Sionis's business." The thug boasted to them.
As the mane six backed away from the bars and decided to huddle together and come up with a plane of getting through.
"I would teleport behind him but those magical bars prevent me of doing that and brute force is not going to take down those bars." Twilight said still thinking of a plan, so did the rest of the mane six. Rarity was looking around until she spotted a cell with an open vent. She though about it until she made up a plan and ran towards the group.
"I came up with a plane but I need Rainbow Dash to come with me, as for the rest of you I need you all to district that thug ok?" Rarity asked them. As the group agreed to help, Rainbow Dash followed Rarity into the cell as Rarity told Dash to give her a boost up to the open vent. Upon doing saw Rarity and Dash crawled through the vent and made it to the side of the goon who was behind a weak wall, as Rarity was about to blast the weak wall she and Dash hear the thug talking to the Mane six.
"See I scared two of your friends off, so how about the rest of you follow them." said the thug. Before he could start to laugh at them he felt a shock wave hit his side as he fell over knocked out under a bunch of rubble caused by Rarity who blasted the weak wall. After that she pushes up the lever taking down the magical barrier they all had a group hug and thanked Rarity for them getting past the bars. But they all knew that it wasn't over yet they still need to save Loeb and stop Black mask so celebrating would have to wait.
They continued onwards until they see a metal door labelled the execution chamber but it was locked so they looked for another way in until they found another way in through a vent in another room. They are crawled through, as the continued to crawl they start to hear a voice that belonged to Sionis. they crawled through until they dropped down from an opening of the vent which they all landed into that observing room. They looked through the one sided looking glass to see Sionis walking back and forth in front of the execution chamber that had a colt inside as her men were trying to get it open.
"Oooo a part of me just wants to flip that switch. But it is Hearth’s Warming Eve.... and he is the calendar colt hehehe and that is just too perfect to ignore. Your going to owe me for this one, Mr. Day. And that could be useful. Sionis said to herself.
"Umm boss what do we do about Loeb?" one on the thugs.
"Bring him in. Bring him in." ordered Black mask. And with that the metal doors to the right opened revealing the crocodile pony holding Loeb by the shoulder as he brought him in front of Sionis as well as the execution chamber door open, as Mr. Day walked out and walked away leaving. Loeb looked at Black mask and said "What is this all about Sionis, haven't I always come through for you?"
Sionis looked at Loeb and started to walk towards the cowardly stallion and said to him in a seductive voice "You may have, Loeb. But things have- changed. We are starting with a clean slate- and your not on it."
Shocked, Loeb asked as the thugs were pushing him in "What are you talking about, I'm not on it, after all I 've done for you." The thugs pushed him in and closed the door and turned on the deadly gas. As the mane six saw this they tried to break down the glass but of no success as they saw Loeb turn around and banged on the chamber glass and cried out "You can’t do this to me, I am the police commissioner dammit!" But it was too late as the gas started to kill him. As he slumped to the ground choking Sionis seemed satisfied and turned to her goons "Shows over boys lets go."
