My little mafia kneecapping is magic

The day had started out bright and beautiful; Lucky and Star dust had just gotten out of the hospital and had been hanging around the carousel boutique. They weren't the only ones either, Silvermane had sent a letter to the Las Pegasus mob. The Godpony of Las Pegasus was Don Diamond dust, a long time enemy of Don Dapper hoof, who had been trying to get Silvermane in his corner for the longest. When he heard Silvermane was in need he was more than happy to help. He sent several of his best guys to ponyville who, under Silvermanes instruction, had turned the boutique into a fortress.

During the day everypony could come and go as they pleased but when ever Rarity or Sweetie belle left they had a body guard follow them every where they went. At night the boutique was locked up, nopony in or out and it was driving Rarity crazy. "Silvermane, I've had enough of this, I'm a live in hostage in my own home." She said as she walked into the kitchen. Silvermane was teaching the crusaders how to cook spaghetti. He liked the crusaders; he was an only child and always wanted a little brother or sister. He loved answering their questions about the mob life and helping them with their problems.

"Alright girls when you cut up the garlic use a razor blade to get the onions as thin as possible." He said carefully slicing the garlic for the sauce. "Silvermane are you even listening to me?" Silvermane poured all the vegetables into the pot and stirred the thick sauce. "Now what you do is add a little wine." He continued to ignore Rarity as he poured half a bottle of wine into the sauce. "Gives it a little extra kick." "Silvermane!" She hit him in his ribs finally getting his attention. "Silvermane this has gotten out of hoof, I can't walk down the street without one of your goons following me and scaring off my friends, I can't live like this." He sighed and took of his apron. "You girls watch the sauce for me will ya." "Sure thing Mr. Silvermane." The crusaders all said at the same time.

The two went up to Raritys room, there were to many ponies in her house for comfort. At night she found it hard to sleep with them outside her door. "Good kids if they were a little older I'd bring 'em into the family." he said still Ignoring Raritys problem. "Silvermane I want all these ponies out of my house, all my customers are to afraid to even come in here, it's bad for business." "Yeah I know but It's just a little while longer, once I know you and your sister are safe we'll all leave." "Wait, we'll leave?" Silvermane scratched his chin and sighed, obviously trying to find the right words. "My gang and I are going to Las Pegasus; I'm going to have my own family and casino there."

She turned her back to him to hide her watering eyes. "And when were you going to tell me, you were just going to leave without a word weren't you?" "What no, Rarity I want you and Sweetie belle to come with me, Rarity I want you to marry me." Her eyes went wide and her heart sped up. "Silvermane I…" She was cut off by a knock at the door. "Boss somepony dropped off a package for ya." Silvermane opened the door and took the box one of his men had brought him. It was a plain brown box but when he opened it he found a pair of spats wrapped around a fish. Silvermanes eyes began to water up, Rarity nudged him. "Silvermane are you all right; what does this mean?" He placed the top back on the box, "It means my old friend Spats is sleeping with the fishes." He pushed the box away and wiped his eyes. "lock down the house, I want everypony ready, my father has arrived in Ponyville."

Silvermane spent the rest of the day ducking under windows, checking locks, and ducking for cover at every loud sound. When night fell he had Sweetie belle locked in her room and had his guys giving him reports every five minutes. "Silvermane, sweetie please come to bed." He hadn't moved from his spot by her bedroom window in three hours. "I can't, in the criminal world we call that slipping."

She got out of bed and walked over to him, she wrapped her hooves around his neck. "Earlier when you asked me to marry you, I want to say yes but I don't think I can live the mafia life style, it's just too much." "Rarity I promise you that in two years I'll be able to go straight completely legitimate, that's what the casino business will do for me." She breathed a heavy sigh and rested her head on his neck. "Well then in two years come back and ask me again."

It wasn't what he wanted to hear but he understood how she felt, he didn't want to put her in a position that would make her unhappy. He was just about to pull himself away from the window and go to sleep when he saw a light moving around outside. It wasn't just any light it was the glow of a unicorns horn and it was joined by several others. "Rarity get down!"

He threw her to the floor and jumped on top of her. She screamed as bolts of magic ripped through the window. Silvermane jumped up and returned fire through the hail bolts shredding the glass. With every hit he landed another unicorns light died out; what was left of the hit squad turned tail and ran. Silvermane hit the floor, he had took multiple hits but was still moving.

The door flew open as Lucky and Star dust ran into the room. "Silvermane hang in there buddy we'll get you to the hospital." Star dust said as their leader was placed on his back. "No, no hospital, they'll be expecting that." Silvermane said pushing them away. "But boss look at you, you need help." Silvermane got on his hooves, "I'm fine." He groaned out falling to the floor. "No you are not." Rarity interjected. She gestured to Lucky, "You, I have some rubbing alcohol in the bathroom and a bottle of very strong cider under the kitchen sink, bring me both." As he ran off she turned to Star dust. "I need my sowing kit out of my work space quickly." Star dust quickly went to fetch what she had asked for.

"What are you up too?" Silvermane asked as she turned him over onto his back. "Nothing just a little sowing, you know that thing I'm good at?" Lucky and Star dust returned with what Rarity had asked for. The cider came first, Rarity made him drink the whole bottle down. "Is this really a time to get drunk?" Silvermane groaned out. "Quit moving around and you'll wish you got drunk faster once I get started."

She poured the rubbing alcohol over his open wounds. Silvermane gritted his teeth, "Stings more than getting shot." Rarity bent the needle and threaded it with a piece of silk, "Hold him down tightly." She said as she pushed the needle into his skin and slowly began sowing his wounds.

"You do know that surgical silk and regular silk aren't the same thing, don't you?" He laughed. She jammed the needle into his skin causing him to twitch. "Quit moving around, you'll shake the stiches loose." She replied, gaining a laugh from Star dust and Lucky. She never took her eyes off her task and she didn't stop till she ran out of silk. "Amazing isn't she boys, a seamstress and a surgeon." He said as he was moved to the bed.

He gestured for lucky and Star dust to lean in to hear what he had to say but didn't start talking till Rarity left to put everything back. "Never thought I'd say this but all bets are off on my dad, I want to set up a meet to discuss his "retirement." The two knew full well what he meant by that; he wanted to move the gang to Las Pegasus and he would have to remove his father to do so.

"How do we do that boss, I mean he's not just gonna walk right into his own hit." Star dust asked remembering the last time somepony tried to whack the Don, they still haven't found that guys body. "Kilo volt, he's my fathers favorite do boy and I know he was the one who sold us out." Lucky nodded his head, "Yeah he was suppose to be with us when we hit Blue jaw." "You find him, he'll make great leverage."

The Don paced around his temporary office, which was the sitting room of the hotel room he had been staying in. His men where all nervous; when ever he gets like this he gets violent. "Where in Equestria is that louse Kilo jolt?!" He bellowed through the room. Everypony was sweating, there's no telling what he might do when he's this angry. A knock came at the door when one of the Dons men opened it he found a letter that he passed to the Don.

The Don opened it and found a lock of Kilo volts hair. The letter read: 'We've got your boy. You want him back, come to Sugar cube corner tonight at nine. His life is in your hooves, so don't be late.' The Dons breath became fast and heavy. Everypony could see a vein bulging in his neck and his eye twitching.

"That's it I want him dead, you hear me dead in the ground, and that broad he's living with, all of 'em!" He yelled shaking the walls trying to catch his breath. "Boss need I remind you that he killed half the hit squad we sent, Your son's a hard stallion to kill." The Don regained his composer and fixed his clothes, "He wants a sit down we'll give him one, who can tell me about this Sugar cube place?"

One of his body guards spoke up, "It's a bakery near the center of town; it's a family place with good food." The wheels in his head began to turn and he got the biggest smile on his face. "Oh boy have I got his number, get ready to throw one heck of a party."

Night fell quickly as all of ponyville closed down; all except Sugar cube corner, which was still open for a private party. The restaurant was occupied by a group of shady looking stallions, all happily eating and drinking. Normally the Cakes would never serve cider but they knew it would be a bad idea to refuse them. The Don swallowed down the piece of cake he was eating, "Are my ponies in place?" He asked his body guard. "Yeah boss, they should be moving in now."

On the other side of town five ponies walked up to the Carousel boutique. "Alright," The lead pony spoke up. "you two hit 'em high, you two hit low, and I'll hit every where else." The five ran up to the door and the leader kicked it in. "Special delivery!" He quipped as they all began firing.

Back at sugar cube corner Silvermane had finally arrived and took a seat opposite his father. "What's this Silvermane, I don't see you for a while and not so much as a hey pop?" Silvermane shifted around in his seat, "Let's just cut to it alright." The Don wiped his mouth and laughed, "You see that's the problem with you young bucks, no sense of respect." The two locked steely gazes; Silvermane sneered and replied, "I get it from my father."

The Don calmly placed his hooves on the table. "Alright fine, where's Kilo volt?" Silvermane sat back with a smile. "He should be dead by now." He said with a laugh. The Don rose up from his seat, "You don't seem to understand, you're done; you, your crew, all of it." Silvermane was unfazed by the vein popping out of his neck.

"My ponies are on their way to rub out your crew; but I must thank you for turning me on to the ponyville rackets, a whole new world to conquer, now where is Kilo volt?" Silvermane laughed even harder as a flash came from his horn. " Well last time I saw Kilo volt he was strapped to a chair at my girls place."

He looked over at a clock on the wall. "If I'm correct your little hit squad should be discovering that they've just shot him up; that's if the poison gas I flooded the house with hasn't killed them already." The Dons eyes went as wide as possible, "What!?"

Back at the boutique the five hit ponies had stopped shooting to find the only thing they hit was pony tied to a chair. "Whoa is this… this is Kilo volt." One of them exclaimed. "We gotta, gotta…" They all began to choke with blood coming from their eyes. They all tried to stagger for the door but it slammed shut and locked. "No let us out!" They all banged on the door before finally falling down to the floor with blood pouring form their mouths.

"You're a monster." the Don said. "Once again, I get it form my father." Silvermane shot back. "It's your own fault for being so predictable." Silvermane added. The vein in the dons neck and his eyes bulged. "You have to know that there's no way you're walking out of here alive, boys give him the treatment!" He called but all he heard was the sound of ponies choking. He looked back to see all his men holding their throats struggling for air.

Then the Don himself began to feel it, his throat was closing up. "What… what have you…?" He wheezed out. "Did you enjoy the cake pop, it was my very special recipe activated by that flash of magic I made a minute ago." "I'll kill you!" The Don lunged out for Silvermanes throat but slumped onto the table and slid to the floor. Before his eyes rolled back Silvermane pulled the dons cuff links from his sleeve. Silvermane rubbed the lucky charm around his neck. "Bet you wish you were wearing this don't ya?" He said as his father wheezed out his last breath.

Silvermane calmly walked outside where Rarity was waiting for him. "Well that's done." He said in a cheery tone. "Is it, I mean was all this blood shed worth it?" Silvermane got face to face with her with the same gaze he had given his late father. "Rarity I love you and I value your opinion but I'll say this once and once only: Don't ever question my judgment." Rarity turned and stormed off. "Wait Rarity I'm sorry." He called but she refused to hear him. "Damn it Silvermane." He said sighing and rubbing his temples.

The day had finally come for Silvermane and his crew to go start their rackets in Las Pegasus. They were all at the train station getting all their things loaded up. "Do you really have to go Mr. Silvermane?" Sweetie belle asked. "Yeah it seems so." He answered back hugging the little filly.

He slipped his horse shoe out his saddle bag and gave it to her. "If that Diamond tiara gives you any more trouble don't hesitate to use this, I expect you to be running this place when I come back." The two shared a laugh as the train whistle sounded. Silvermane looked around one last time.

"Guess your sister's not showing." He lamented as he made his way to get on the train. "Silvermane." He heard her voice just as angelic as the first day he met her. "Rarity, I'm surprised you showed up." "Well I thought about it and I suppose you're doing what you feel you have to." She explained slowly trotting up to him and resting her head on his neck.

"I wish you two would come with me." She pulled back shaking her head. "I can't as much as I would love to, my life is here but that doesn't mean you can't always come back and be part of it." He took of his lucky charm and placed it around her neck. "No Silvermane I couldn't." He silenced her with a kiss, "Think of it as collateral, to make sure I have to come back."

He stepped onto the train and took his seat. Out the window he could see Raritys eyes watering up and Sweetie belle hugging her. "You alright boss?" Lucky asked passing him a drink. "Yeah, a toast boys to Las Pegasus; as my father would say, a whole new world to conquer." They all clinked glasses and took a drink.

"And to leaving behind the worlds greatest mare." He whispered under his breath as he watched the landscape change. He hung his head really wounding what this new world could have for him as the train pulled him away from the best thing to ever happen to him.
