Hoity toity found himself held down by Silvermanes' magic while Lucky and a light blue Pegasus with a gray mane kicked his head around. "Alright now, are you done being a upity prick," Silvermane lifted him into the air upside down. "or do my friends have to really get rough?" Hoity spat up blood, "Please I'll do whatever you say."

Silvermane rolled his eyes and dropped him. "Now it the future, when Rarity shows you a design, what will you do?" Hoity toity tried slowly to get on his hooves, only to have the pegasus sweep kick his legs from under him. "Did we say get up?" the pegasus asked stepping on Hoitys' back.

"Easy Star dust, don't break his back just yet." Silvermane lifted Hoitys head and charged his horn. He touched the tip of his horn to Hoitys forehead. Hoity screamed in pain and the smell of burning flesh filled the room. "So what's the score with Rarity?" Silvermane asked as he slapped Hoity toity.

Hoity shook as he answered," I love her designs, I want to use the in my shows." A smile crept across Silvermanes' face, "Good boy, now remember you may know who we are but we know who you are," He charged his horn again and got close Hoitys' face. Hoity began to fight to get away. "so unless you want another hot spot you'll keep your mouth shut, capise?" "I understand just please don't hurt me."

"Good work in there boys." Silvermane said to his crew as they left. In the short while they had been in ponyville they had cemented Their foot hold. Ponyville had no criminal underworld until Silvermane and his crew came to town. They had a casino in the basement of the quill store and sold bootleg cider. They also ran a loan sharking racket out of an office, which was also the face of their legal business.

Silvermane was the boss with Lucky as his under boss and thuggish enforcer. Star dust was consigliere, he not only took part in enforcing but also handled all the legal stuff. Of course nopony could prove they were doing anything and the few that could loved life too much to say anything. However, there was one thing upsetting the trio, Rarity. Sometimes it seemed like Silvermane was more focused on her than he was on leading the gang.

Lucky may be tough, Star dust may be smart, but Silvermane was the most ruthless unicorn ever born. The two knew better than to take him lightly. "Well boys I'm off to see Rarity, I'll see you tomorrow." Lucky stopped him and worked up the courage to speak. "Look boss, me and Star dust have been talking and um well you see." Star dust sighed and jumped in, "We think you've been spending too much time with this Rarity chick."

With every word Star dust spoke he saw the look on Silvermanes face turn to one of pure rage. Star dust knew he should have got out the way but he was too scared to move. Silvermane was always quick with his hooves and Star dust was just reminded how quick. Silvermane hit with force that even made lucky flinch.

Star dust spit out a tooth and snorted; he tried to scramble to his feet for a fight but was encased in Silvermanes' aura. "If you think for a minute that I've gone soft or that you can disrespect me or Rarity," Silvermane lifted both of them into the air with his magic. "then I suggest you get such ideas out of your head or I knock them out for you." He dropped both of them on the ground and turned to walk off. "Don't forget why I'm in charge here." he called over his shoulder.

Silvermane was fuming after what happened, 'I can't belive those two after everything I've done for them and they have nerve to call me out.' His thoughts were broken by the sight of Rarity crying at her front door. He walked up and put a hoof around her shoulders, "Hey what's this about?" She wiped her eyes and sniffled, "My client didn't like the dress I made for his wife and refused to pay," Her eyes welled up again as she clung to him. "but the worse part is he called my work tacky and uninspired."

Silvermane couldn't belive this, first his crew now this. What was today: let's all piss off Silvermane day? Okay if that's the way it's going to be fine then he'll play along. "Do you know where he is now?" "That's him right there." She pointed to a stallion talking to his wife across the street. "Right wait here, daddy's got to go to work."

She didn't know what he was talking about until he pulled out a heavy horse shoe. He calmly walked over to the couple and pushed the wife out of the way. "Hey we were having a conversation rude much." Silvermane said nothing as he hit the other stallion in the face. The wife screamed bloody murder as Silvermane beat her husband into a bloody pulp. He refused to let up as his fore leg shook with the impact. He finally stop when heard the stallions jaw bone crack.

Silvermane charged his horn, "If you have any further criticisms of Raritys dress making skills keep them to yourself." He touched the tip of his horn right on the stallions' eye; who screamed and trashed about as he was blinded. He turned to the wife. "Please don't hurt me." She begged, tripping over her own hooves trying to back away. "Whatever she makes you will wear, I don't care if it's a bunch of paper bags sown together understand." She shook her head as fast as she could and cradled her bloody husband.

Silvermane walked back over to Rarity, who was trying to wrap her head around what just happened. Silvermane slipped her the horse shoe,"Hide this for me, I need to wash his blood off." Most mares would have gotten out of there the moment their coltfriend gave them a weapon to hide but not Rarity to be honest his show of power kind of turn her on.

She found his air of danger attractive, so she slipped the horse shoe into a box of ribbons in her work space and went to Silvermane in the kitchen. The two of them stood there in silence before Silvermane spoke up, "I'm sorry you had to see that but nopony messes with my sweet flank." He said chuckling through his teeth. "First, We've discussed you calling me sweet flank and second, I didn't know you had that in you." Rarity said placing her hoof on his shoulder nuzzling just under his neck.

Silvermane wrapped his hoof around her and nestled his chin in her hair. He looked at the blood staining the cuff of his sleeve than at the white mare, who seemed so happy and safe in his embrace. He took a deep breath in and let out a heavy sigh, "Rarity I've got something to tell you about me," He had hoped to put this off for as long as he could but now it was time to come clean. "you see I'm..." He was cut off by a customer calling for the owner and she sounded intent on being served.

"Let me handle this quickly darling." Rarity walked into the show room to greet a powder blue unicorn mare with white hair and icicles for a cutie mark. "Can I help you?" The mare gave her a catty look before saying, "Yeah, you can tell Silvermane to come out here and face me." "Excuse me?" Rarity asked as the mare charged her horn.

The icy blast came faster than Rarity could react but lucky for her it wasn't to fast for silvermane. He levated her out of the way but the beam still got her back hooves. The mare laughed,"Looks like your girls got cold hooves." "Icemare, it would be you." Silvermane said fro the doorway. Icemare charged her horn, before she could fire Silvermane bum rushed her.

He had wrapped himself in small force field so he could head butt her at full force. As she went flying into a large dressing mirror Silvermane turned tail and ran. Icemare shook off her daze and yelled "freeze." Silvermane felt a blast just miss his head as he duck out the back door. He needed to get her away from the boutique and to a place were he could control the fight. 'I got it,' He ran for town square.

"I'm cold on your heels." He heard Icemare call out. "Don't you ever stop with the ice puns." He yelled as he fired a beam at her, missing by a hair. "Hey, my puns are ice-cold." She shot another ice beam, which he countered with a heat beam. The two beams met head on creating a pillar of steam.

Silvermane used it as a smoke screen to disappear into the crowd in the square. When the steam dissipated Icemare looked around for Silvermane, "I know you're here and I'll ice everypony here if I have to." As a show of force she froze a random pony solid. The frozen pony broke into a million pieces when Icemare pushed her over. There was a moment of silence as every pony stood with their mouths open. Then somepony screamed and everypony ran for their lives.

As the crowd thinned out Icemare still didn't see Silvermane. "Hey, ice block over here." Silvermane called from behind the building were he was taking cover. He fired a shot that hit right on, taking her off her hooves but not out of the fight. She hopped back up and fired hitting the wall next to him.

Silvermane made a bright flash of magic to blind her and took off running farther from the fight. Icemare got her sight back and was so angry she charged at his direction without thinking. She saw a blurry shape and flung several icy spikes at it. She hit her target but she got close to find all she hit was his suit coat draped over some plants. She looked up just in time to see Silvermane rushing her at full speed. She fired off ice spike after ice spike, which shattered against his force field. Silvermane began to levitate off the ground and was now flying at her with blinding speed.

The impact sent her through the air and into a puddle of water. Silvermane charged his horn and hit the soaking wet mare with an ice spell freezing her solid. He pulled his coat back on and trotted over to the ice statue with his cocky smile. "Hey, Icemare chill out." He quipped pushing her over, braking her into a million little pieces.

"Silvermane, I heard somepony was turning ponies into ice and thought Icemare." Star dust said as he landed next to him. "Yeah she was but I put her on ice." Star dust shook his head, "Really, an ice pun, it's bad enough when she does it." "Never mind that get Lucky and get over to the office, the rest of murder, Inc will be around." Star dust took off as Silvermane went to see to Rarity.

When he got back her friends were already there and had freed her. They all gave him the evil eye as he walked in. "Rarity are you ok?" Rainbow dash got right up in his face,"She is now no thanks to you." Then apple jack jumped in, "What kind of stallion runs away when his marefriend needs him?" next came Flutthershy, "Um, that wasn't very nice." Then Twilight layed into him, "And you got a lot of nerve coming back." Pinkie pie jumped in, "So what do you have to say for yourself?"

Silvermane breathed in and rubbed the bridge of his nose, "Look I need to speak to Rarity alone." Before the others could protest Rarity cut in, "Ok, in my room." once alone Rarity asked, "Who was that mare and why was she trying to kill you?" Silvermane closed the door and worked up the courage to speak.

"Alright, I use to be in the manehatten mob and that mare was Icemare, she's a hit pony sent to kill me." A collective 'what' was heard followed by the mane six crashing though the door. 'Great just what I needed, could this day get any worse?'
