Load Full StoryNext Chapter"Hold still..." I mumbled, following the pony with my scope from my cliff which was quite a bit up from the pony and his camp. He was trotting around mumbling and every time i got set up to shoot he would turn, i cursed under my breath and noticed he turned to go to sleep. I cheeked my old pocket watch my father gave me, apparently it was a family heirloom, it was around 3 AM, i yawned and look in my scope, he was getting into bed, i aimed at his head with my scoped hunting rifle and then i noticed he was getting undressed. I had to look away "Ugh... God damn it... Hey Merya what do you think of this?" I turned to my pet radscorpion who just stared at me "Ya i think so to..." I aimed in and i saw him in the bed finally, i aimed for his head again and took a deep breath to steady my aim, letting half of the breath go. Thats what i learned after all, i slowly pull the trigger and saw the bullet rip threw his head, i swung my rifle on my back and trotted down with Merya following close behind, i stopped hearing guns cock, i look around seeing around three ponies aiming diffrent guns at me, one with a 10mm pistol, another with a sawed off shotgun and another with a unscoped hunting rifle, i sighed slowly "Who are you guys and what do you want?..."
One of the ponies, the unicorn pony with the 10mm, spoke up "You just shot our leader ya fuckin' zebra prick!"
I smirked "Oh no need for that kind of language..." I walked over to his rubbing his face softly before punching him, grabbing the pistol in my mouth fireing a shot into the shotgun wielding earth pony, the other unicorn with a hunting rifle fired at me, barely missing. I rolled behind a rock peaking over just to fire a shot of the 10mm into the knocked out ponies head. i tossed the 10mm, i looked around realizing Merya noticed them before i did and he got to hiding, i smile taking out a 10mm SMG, firing at him to keep his attention. I came up to fire more but i felt his bullet rip threw one of my front legs, i yelled in pain dropping my SMG, i slowly picked it back up in my mouth and i kept firing, but i noticed he wasn't there. I got up and walked over seeing Meryas tail as stuck threw his back. I smiled and walked over to my target talking out a knife taking off one of his hooves, i took what ever was useful from there dead bodies, drank a health potion i brewed my self, and headed back to New AppleLoosa, or as i called it NAL...
I walked into Fruitpop's office tossing her the hoof "Nice work Kalin, here your pay... But i had to take, city tax, tax for you renting my room, tax for you using my rilfe, and there you go. Ten caps, nice pay right?" i raised my hoof to him noticing i dont have any fingers then i put down my hoof trying to figure out what the hell i was trying to do. I walk over taking the caps.
"Unilmanta!" I yelled a zebra cuss at her, she smiled
"Have a good day to you to!" Shes a bitch... Moving on, i trotted to my room taking off my barding and i toss my weapons on the table, i pat Merya's head laying down in my very uncomfortable bed, patting a space next to me and Merya climbs on bed next to me curling up into a ball, i snuggle up next to her slipping into the abyss of dreamland...
I woke up seeing Merya slaughtered and a diamond dog staring at me, it leaped at me. I rolled looking around for my guns but i saw nothing there. I looked for my combat knife but it was also no where to be found. I turned and i saw it right in front of me. Its claws was about to slash my face in two. Then... I really woke up.
My face was drenched in sweat i looked at Merya and she was fine, i saw my weapons on the table like normal, i sighed getting up. I slipped into my leather barding, swinging my rifle on my back, putting my combat knife in its sheath, and i put my SMG in its holster. I walked out opening a pocket in my barding taking out my caps cheeking how much i had "Ugh... Only 24 caps... I guess i can buy some noodles for breakfast with a sparkle-cola. I walked over to Star Charmer, she runs the only restaurant. Shes one of the only ponies who is kind to me, i guess she dosnt care if i am a zebra. I sat down at the counter "Hey Star, can you give me noodles and a sparkle-cola?" I toss 14 caps on the counter "Ugh... Now i only got ten caps..."
"Sure thing Kalin, How about the sparkle-cola on the house?" She slid me back four of the caps.
"Thanks..." I sat back and relaxed waiting for the food once it came i had to ask "Hey, why are you doing this me?"
She smiled "Well i know how much Fruitpop been taxing you so i thought you could use some help. So this sparkle-cola is free and you will get discounts"
I smiled a bit "That will help quite a bit i guess" and i start eating, feeding half of it to Merya.
I walked into Fruitpop's office "So your ready to go 'deal' with another target?" I just nodded "Great, there is a caravaner who has been holding out medical supplies from the camp they supply. People in the camp gathered some caps together so get the caravaner killed. You are going to have to kill the gaurds to, they are between NAL and Dodge City, here your going to need this. And i wont tax you for it, though i should" she handed me a stealthbuck. I slipped it in one of my barding pockets and i headed to my mission with Merya following...
