Healing of the Scarred

Not in my Comfort Zone

The next day...

Vengeance woke up to his alarm "Ugh, where's the coffee."

"Seriously, you just woke up in a unknown place and your reaction is 'where's the coffee' and your suppose to be the most feared being in the wastelands." said a very annoyed Shining.

"Yeah, yeah." Vengeance waved a hoof back and forth nonchalantly "I'd like to see you do half the stuff I do, and by the way, I've ended up in stranger and mare disturbing places, most of the time tied up or hanging by a hook."

Shining just rolled his eyes "Don't remind me, I still have nightmares about that on griffon." he said with a shiver.

"Don't worry, she's either dead or looking for another AI to bang." Vengeance said with a small smile upon his face.

"Good morning, Vengeance, did you have a good dreams while you were sleeping." Zecora said as she walked in groggily

"I can't say that I did, but it was pleasant to wake up and not be tied up for ransom." Vengeance said calmly

"N-Nopony here would do that to you or anypony else." Zecora stammered

"Really, then why were those ropes around that pony skeleton a few trees away." Vengeance questioned cooly

"What, show me." Zecora ordered Vengeance

Vengeance pointed in the right direction "That way, don't miss it."

Zecora took of faster than a trained eye could see, leaving Vengeance in her house alone with only a quick 'thanks'. Not two minutes later she came back with some tears in her eyes.

"Zecora, I'm sorry for that pony's death, but I think your tears would do any good." Vengeance said while wiping away a few tears.

"Your right of course, but how do you not show your remorse." Zecora asked Vengeance.

"I've seen enough of it."  he answered flatly.

"Okay, I'm fine, no more delay." Zecora said while starring at him intently while they were walking through the forest.

"Miss Zecora, if your going to try and rape me, please refrain until we are inside your hut." Vengeance said calmly.

"W-What, no Vengeance, I meant to ask you something if you would listen and don't tell me that has happened on your mission." Zecora stammered as a blush appeared on her face.

"Okay what is it and yes." Vengeance said as if nothing happened.

"Okay, do you want to go to Ponyville as a visit or to stay." Zecora asked.

"Who said anything about going to Ponyville." Vengeance asked.

"Well, this is my house and I don't think I can harbor you under it." Zecora said quietly.

"Oh, that makes sense, I guess stay." He said with a calm demeanor.

"Great, I should let them know before it gets late." Zecora said with glee.

"Why don't we just go now." Vengeance said as they unknowingly made their to Ponyville.

"Oh no, they would scream and run, and leave you in the mud." Zecora said calmly before a scream broke out.

"MONSTER!" Every pony in the market, which was conveniently placed to blocks into town, screamed in terror and ran from the zebra and the apocalyptic survivor.

"Well that bad, lets get out of here before they go mad." Zecora said worriedly.

"To late." Vengeance pointed to six mares charging them, with the intent of tackling him to the ground.

Zecora was about to step in when Vengeance stepped in front of her. She realized what he was going to do and knew that it involved a lot of fighting. As Vengeance prepared for battle, he scanned his opponents, he liked his odds. Only two of them show much physical strength and one dangerous magic user, the others were basically useless, except for that pink one who seems to hold warping abilities. 'Oh no not a pony with Stalker abilities' He thought as he charged his opponents.

Just as predicted, the fastest one of the group sped ahead to take the glory. Vengeance sled under and bucked up, only enough to crack her ribs. The second was the strongest, tried to buck him, but he proved to be to fast for the pony and ducked underneath the pony. He slammed her chest with a hoof sent her airborne, saw a flash of lavender and rolled out of the way of a magic blast. Shining did a quick scan and sent the results to Vengeance as quickly and efficiently as possible. Liking the results of the blast he charged the unicorn, slamming into her sending her flying backwards. The pink one charged, he avoided the charge but did not engage her, knowing full well that it was pointless to hit a Stalker, instead lead right into a trap.

Instead of slamming into him, she slammed into the yellow one rendering her unconscious the pink one stood up and got ready to charge, but this time he knew she wasn't going to like the results. The strongest one had gotten up and was twirling a lasso, ready to toss. When she did he dodged both attacks, the lasso tying up the pink one as she tried to escape, the cowpony ran over to try and untie her but knocked unconscious by a single hoof.

Only three ponies left, a alabaster with a purple mane, the lavender one with the horn and wings that he failed to notice earlier, and the cyan pegasus with a rainbow mane. This time he knew they weren't going to underestimate him, that he knew for a fact, if you lose half of your party to one individual you either run or don't make the same mistake. He waited for them to move, then he noticed something. He forgot about the pink one who was trying to sneak up on him with a rock. With a simple kick backwards he was awarded with contact of her face, knocking her out in a instant.

The others were in shock that he noticed, that he took advantage of. He charged, slamming into the cyan one before she could react, sending her flying into a nearby carrot stand.  Dodging multiple magic blasts and rocks, he advanced towards the last two. He slammed his hoof in to the lavender ones face, knocking her out instantly, then did the same to the other one.

With their team KO, he trotted back to Zecora, who was dumbstruck.

"I think we're fine for now." Vengeance said as he began to leave town, only to be stopped by Zecora.

"Oh no,we're already here and you are going to apologize to them when they wake up." Zecora said with unwavering determination.

"I would but something tells me that either I should leave fight an entire village." Vengeance as he pointed behind her.

Oh, what do you me-" Zecora said as she turned around and saw a angry mob slowly moving towards them "Okay."

"Well see ya back at the hut then, if they want to talk I'll be there." Vengeance informed before taking off at supersonic speeds.

"Okay time to get them to the library and explain to them what happened." Zecora said as she tied them to her and took of running towards the Golden Oaks Library.
