Chapter 1: Did you ever guess ?

    Did you ever guess, I mean would you ever in your wildest dreams that you a petty thief from Dodge city would have your hooves on princesses Celestia's crown ? I didn't I barley got my hooves on any gold. I should tell my story, our story because I'll be dead soon anyway.

ONE HOUR  EARLIER

    '' Crazy do you have the preparations ? '' My long time friend Johnny free said from the other end of the cart pulling on his ski mask. I put my on and my ear piece as well.

   '' Yeah and from now on out we go my our first letter of our name got it ? '' I called out. I don't know how billy Jon, Johnny's cousin got of hold of this old but working war cart roof and all. My names Crazy wolf-gang, I'm a Stallion from Dodge city and thats all I can say the rest is classified.

   '' Are we sure about this C ? this isn't right I mean what will happen if- '' I cut him off.

   '' Can it J this is too big for this kind of nonsense, if we fail there's two options 1. we die trying 2. we die anyway '' I said loading my bow and arrow. Damn Johnny is allays worrying about something, always the goody goody.

   '' Crazy, crazy I don't know if this is ethically right ? I mean he has a family ! ''  Damn he never shuts up about that job we did a few months ago about this guy who ratted us out. That's me I clean up what Johnny doesn't, but thank Celestia he's not a rat. I wen't over to Billy who had his thick headphones on and shaded sunglasses on, How can he see with those things ?

   '' How much longer B we got a time zone ? '' I asked from the back. He took a minute to answer.

    '' Not much longer just over this hill, I'll be parked next to the water fall '' he said putting on his headphones again. I slumped back and stroked my red mane. J is gonna bring him and I up to the tower and I'll repel down and grab the crown. After about five minutes of silence and the constant fitiging of J we came upon Canterlot a master piece of stonework and marble I say.

   B parked us next to the waterfall like he said and me and J gathered our stuff. I would get the repel equipment and J would carry the both of us.  I stepped out and saw J stretching his wings, I talked into my ear piece.

   '' Lets make this clean boys in and out if worst come to worst we go out in a blaze of glory '' I said threw my mask. I felt like the only one who thought that going out in glory was a good idea. I must say myself that I felt a little arrogant. J strapped me to him and we were off, we must of looked like flies compared to this place. The night was a odd blue with sprinkles of stars all of around I looked at the moon to see the blue hue around it. The night always calmed my nerves, always but not tonight.

   After a few minutes of uneasy flying we landed on top of The princess room. We nearly fell hard on it but luckily J pulled himself together. I took out my torch gun and started to cut a hole threw the roof. This is crazy I thought to myself, I'm nearly having a heart attack I gotta stay calm. I looked over to my left and saw guards patrolling the towers. I slumped down over the flame and signaled towards J.

   He pulled out a two inch leather tarp from his bag and slung it over me hiding the flame. Smoke filled my lungs but I had to keep silent so no one would hear. The last of the circle it took me almost about twenty minutes but it was worth it. SLLLING ! The circle nearly fell my I caught it by the ridge. Sweet filled my mask and ran down my snout almost there I gotta pull threw. J pulled off the tarp and started to set up the repelling machine.

  '' Phase one complete moving one '' I said in a hushed tone in my mic. I strapped on the equipment I need this to work I spent the last of my money on this thing. I slipped threw the hole and in moments I was above the sleeping giant known as princess Celestia. She looked like she was in a restless dream tossing in turning below me. I could of fainted then and there but I was on a mission, thank Celestia I was wearing a mask or a gallon of sweat would pour out of my face.

   The crown was beside her on a nightstand in all it's golden beauty it looked sharp enough to stab someone. I was inches away from it barley touching it until . . . .a rope snapped and I was sent swinging and slammed against the wall. I grabbed the crown on my way to the wall. To my fright the princesses Shot up and her eye meet mine her eyes went from confused to a random hanging pony in her room with a ski mask on. She grew angry and ran towards me I screamed at the fire in her eyes and J pulled me up quickly.

  Soon I was on the outside with J and he looked like he had seen a ghost and I don't blame him I must off looked like a dead pony walking. I heard yells and marches of guards. Suddenly J had a purple glow around him and was pulled threw the hole leaving his torso on the rim hanging on for dear life.

   '' CRAZY HELP ME ! '' he screamed he used my real name. I had to make a choice leave my friend or help him. I opted for latter I grabbed his hoof and pulled him threw the hole with all my might. Huffing and wheezing I pulled him threw and we went tumbling down the tower. I had the crown on my head so not to fall off, J grabbed my hoof and pulled me closer to him. We wear falling like lighting threw the night sky landing underneath the waterfall.

   We swam to the cart where B was. We ran as I stuffed the crown into the bag, we jumped in and B was off this time I could hear Billy's death metal blare threw his headset. I pulled off my mask and so did Johnny I started to laugh as he started to hold his heart.

   '' WOOOO BOY THAT GETS THE BLOOD PUMPING ! '' I yelled over to Johnny who was staring behind us.

   '' Cr . . .Cra . . .CRAZY ! '' he yelled ducking down and putting his hooves over his head. I looked threw the opining at the back of the cart and saw five war chariots rushing towards us. Wide eyed I yelled at Billy.

   ''  BILLY GET US OUT OF HEAR ! '' I yelled and went towards the front of the cart. Billy speed up to a amazing speed out running the chariots. We where in the clear it looked like.

  '' BILLY NOOOO! '' We flipped over and tumbled down a large rocky hill. He flipped and tumbled for what seemed forever only living in the moment. Finally we landed in a large stream with the wheel turning. My head felt fuzzy and strained and  the crown was gone nowhere to be seen. I saw a sunrise over head how long was I out ? I wondered I broke the wooden door off his hinges and crawled out  landing in the wet sand.

    '' B !, J ! '' I called out among the wreckage. I didn't see a soul anywhere, no body's just me alone. I did see hoof prints in the sand. I tried to walked But I feel over, my leg was twisted backwards and I couldn't move. I yelled in pain and waited for a moment, blood trickled down my leg and into the dirt.

    I sat there trying to fix my leg and dwelling on  my doom because I had lost the crown my goal, OUR GOAL. A little time passed by when twenty armored pony's surrounded me and out came the Princesses smiling with a  . . .crown on her head smiling looking down at me.

    '' Could you spare some help princess ? '' . . .
