Prologue
The earth pony sitting in the velvet chair pulled his pocket watch out and looked the time. 9:30 was the time, he put his watch back into his coat pocket and then heard a knock on the door.
" Who is it ? " he asked in a stern voice.
" It's me boss, you wanted to see me."
" Come in then." He then turned his chair.
The door then opened and a maroon unicorn walked through the door.
" Sit down." He said pointing to the chair adjacent to him from across the desk.
The pony then sat down, looking rather sheepish. He then looked down at the floor. The earth pony behind the desk noted this and looked toward the back of the room where another earth pony stood. This pony had a brown coat and a cutie mark in the shape of brass knuckles, which surprisingly was his name.
The unicorn looked up from the floor for only a short moment before he spoke," The pegasus you wanted brought to you." The pony behind the desk raised an eyebrow.
"Yes what about him, is he outside the door?" The unicorn looked down again.
"You see, about that...... He's gone." The look on the earth pony's face turned from interest to that of pure anger.
"What did I tell you about him, he's crafty and a pain in my ass, not to mention that this is the last time you will ever disappoint me Brimstone."
With that Brass Knuckles pulled out a revolver from is leather jacket and shot the unicorn. As he slumped onto the floor crimson began to pour from the wound on the back of his head.
Soon Knuckles looked to the pony in the chair,"What now boss?"
"You know what to do you moron! Find him, and bring him to me alive." The earth pony retorted.
Soon the hulking mass the was Knuckles stepped out the door and into the hall where two other ponies were waiting. They looked at him and then looked down. A dark blue pegasus look at Knuckles and then he nodded. The three of them left the apartment complex and into the streets of Filydelphia as Luna's moon shown bright in the night sky.
