Cancelled. Thanks for believing in me, and sorry I let you down.

It was an ordinary day for the Payday Crew, the most notorious criminals in Washington D.C. Steal a package from a vault, and receive half a million dollars in 24-carat gold each. After fighting their way through, they found the package waiting for them.

But they hadn’t expected the package to be alive, or a winged pony that could talk.

It was a terrible day for Rainbow Dash, Element of Loyalty and fastest Pegasus alive. She’d been kidnapped by unknown assailants, stripped of her wing strength, and couldn’t be sure if she was even still in Equestria. To top it all off, she was going to die in a few hours.

She hadn’t expected to be rescued, or for her saviours to be a species she’d never seen before.

Along with the usual contracts, a mysterious new contact on Crime.net wants a few more jobs from Bain and his unstoppable force. But as she puts them up against more and more immovable objects, it’ll be down to their newest member to help them weather the coming storm.

And though she hates owing her life to a group of criminals, Rainbow Dash will come to learn that there is honour, friendship, and even loyalty among thieves.

Rated M for frequent swearing (in multiple languages) and bloody violence. Also, the game itself is rated M, so it’s kind of a given that anything involving it would be the same way.

Ponies speak English because this is entirely unrelated to my other work.

Payday: The Heist belongs to Overkill Software, and My Little Pony belongs to Hasbro.

For those who somehow stumbled across this without knowing the game but want to read it anyway, left to right is Hoxton, Dallas, Wolf and Chains. For those wondering about chronology, it's Payday 2 before Old Hoxton is broken out, and some uncertain point after the last episode of the show, though there's little reference to MLP's chronology.
