I've Been Better
Making bank
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI awoke to some rustling in the shrub behind me. The dogs were fast asleep, and I alone had to deal with this problem.
I slowly got up, being quiet as humanly possible I tip-toed my way over to the bush. I look over expecting to see some unimaginably grotesque abomination, like that of Scrappy Doo, annoying little cunt. But alas, all I see is a puny snake gobbling down it's supper, a rat, probably attempting to breach our food supply.
"Fucking hell, I thought you were something else."
I turn around and feel a sudden bop on my head, and all is black.
-
I awaken to voices. I open my eyes and see nothing.
'Shit, they've blindfolded me, how will you get out of this one Macgyver?'
"Put 'em ova' there with the dogs."
My blindfold is pulled off and I see the same group of ponies as before.
"Hey Fagicorn, wanna tell me what this is all about?" I demand. Fuckin' fag ponies think they can fuck with me.
"What this is about? Motherbucker, you told us the diamonds would be at Lake Celestia!"
"Yeah, and you fell for it. The fuck do you need from me now?"
"Oh, you mother-" the fagicorn floats a box around, then promptly throws it at my face.
I dodged like a boss of course.
"You thought that would work Fagicorn?" I laugh proudly and give him the finger. I stand up and free the dogs of their binds, only to notice their throats had been slit, and must have bled out hours ago. This filled me with rage, they killed my comrades, I'll have their fucking heads! 'Time to get out of here.'
And, of course the Pony Rangers get in the way.
"Move aside or I'll rip that horn off your fucking skull."
"Do it." Oh, you're gonna taunt me? This unicorn is about to feel some serious pain.
I charge them, the Pegasi are already dive bombing me. Without breaking stride I grab both of their heads and slam them together, both of them out for the count, that unicorn is my main target, the rest are just small fry. Next up is the earth pony, headed straight for me with a venomous look on his face, I brace myself for impact, and swiftly kick him in the face, instantly KO'ing him. Only the unicorn is left, and oh, will I enjoy this.
"It's just the two of us now bud, ready for your dirt nap?"
"I've been ready to kill you all day, MONSTER!" He spat with venom.
Now this, see this really pissed me off. Me? A monster? I've been nothing but kind to the ponies of this world, and I get called a monster? He's the monster, he killed the dogs. The unicorns eyes were wide, filled with fear, as I had a very dark lookmon my face.
"You're dying today. You killed them, and now I'll kill you. You're the monster, FUCKING DIRTBAG!"
I charged him, dodging his puny shots of magic all the way. Grabbing his horn I pulled him up and looked him in the eye.
"You killed them, my friends."
I grabbed his head and pulled on his horn, ripping it off almost effortlessly.
"You'll never use magic again. Don't try and find me, because next time it'll be your head."
I swiftly turn around and leave. I'd never seen anyone die before, let alone a friend.
I've got to finish the job, for them.
I head towards the File River, fully intending to get those diamonds.
-
I've been running for hours, and there's no sign of this fucking river. I'm dirty, cold, hungry, and very close to losing my shit.
Splashh
That's the sound of running water! Sweet buttery jesus here I come!
I walk towards the river, fists at the ready, been ambushed too many times recently to not be cautious. As I get through the brush I see three ponies and a cart full of diamonds, next to a huge river.
As I approach them one of them holds out their hoof. "Halt, this delivery is for three diamond dogs, you don't look like a diamond dog to me." Shit, I hadn't thought about this.
"They uhh, they're back at our camp. They decided to let me handle the pick up."
"Okay then, what's the password?."
What. The. Fuck.
"Uh, password?" I reply; dumbfounded.
"Yeah, you're supposed to say the password before we can hand it over."
I start to sweat. Okay I can handle this.
And handle it I did. I charged them, sending two out of the way, and one grasping the edge for dear life.
I grab the cart and look over, and see the pony losing its grip. Shit. I rush over and grab the brown earth pony, and pull him to land.
I grab the cart and haul ass out of there.
Okay, the camp is a two hour haul, and it's nighttime, great. Should I stop here or keep going? I don't have any shelter here, and I can't sleep on the ground, I'll get sick like that. I decide to make the trip, grumbling I stand up and head to camp.
-
After a grueling two and a half hours, I make it to the camp. I cover the diamond cart with pine and start a fire, collapsing on my sleeping bag from last night I can't help but think about Milo, Rex, and Spot. If I wasn't so carefree all the time and tried to save them they wouldn't have died. It's my fault, I should've taken them out when we first met them.
-
I wake up and run over to the diamond cart. I pull off the pines and check, safe.
I piss on what's left of the fire pit, zip up and grab the cart.
I got a long way to go before I get to Hoofshire.
I start to head off before I realize, what if these diamonds are stolen? What the hell should I do? If I take them to a bank I could get arrested on the spot. Maybe I should take them to an appraiser first.
I head to town, getting more and more nervous every step I take. I can't stop thinking that they're stolen, and I'll be a criminal. Shit shit shit, I'll get ass raped in prison by some bigass pony hopped up on steroids. Please, let this work.
-
I pass the bridge to Hoofshire, passing through town with my cart. Jealous stallions stare viciously, not even close to intimidating. I head to the nearest appraiser, nothing ventured nothing gained I suppose.
I walk in and head to the counter, and ring the bell. Shortly after an older mare walks through, surprised at my presence she gets big eyed and whimpers. I give her a disarming smile and show her the diamonds.
"I'd like to get these appraised please."
She grabs the diamonds and studies them, all 401 of them.
Forty-five minutes later she finishes.
"These are great diamonds, good size, they're uncut though so I'd say their total worth is 2,051 bits."
"So uh, exactly how much is that?"
"You could buy two mountains, a river, a mansion, and have money left over."
"Okay, holy shit. Who will buy these?"
"I will, here take this."
She hands over a check for 2,051 bits.
"Uh okay, thanks."
"No problem!" She yells back as I leave. Okay, so where is this bank?
I head towards town square, assuming it will be there. The whole way there I receive glares, and looks of fear from the population. Well, fuck you guys too.
-
I enter the bank and see a line consisting of two ponies. After waiting thirty some minutes for them to finish, I walk up to the receptionist.
"I'd like to open up a bank account and make a deposit."
"Umm, o-okay, we'll have someone with you shortly. Please fill out this paperwork." The receptionist replies.
I fill it out quickly, it just needed my name, and birth date.
Shortly my ass, it took an hour for the damn pony to arrive.
"Hello, my name is Full Pouch, I'm here to help you set up your bank account."
"Alright let's do this."
"So, I've got everything set up for you, here's your Golden Hay Banking card, now you said you wanted to make a deposit?"
"Yes, here you go."
Her eyes widen, and her mouth opens a bit.
"Okay, I'll get this in. Thank you for your time, you can make a withdraw at the front if you'd like."
"Will do, and thank you."
I head to the front and withdraw 50 bits, time to get some sleep.
I head to the motel I slept in last time, grab my key and drop a few bits on the counter.
I walk in my room and crash on the bed.
