Assassin: Savior of Canterlot

Niko walked into the famous, the one and only carousel boutique. He looked around at everything and took a deep breath. He rung the bell that was on what was presumably the front desk.

"One minute!" an English voice sung. Niko sighed and crossed his arms. He sat there impatiently tapping his foot, checking his wrist watch from time to time. He glanced around at all the people in the shop.

"This might be a problem." Niko thought. A white skinned, purple haired girl walked out with a measuring tape dropped over her shoulders and a pair of glasses sitting on the bridge of her nose.

"Hello and welcome to the carousel boutique. I'm Rarity, how may I be of service on this fine day?" the girl said.

"Yes, hi. I'm working on a secret project, and I was wondering if you had a place to discuss the details in private." Niko said. Rarity smiled and gave him a nod.

"Follow me to my office." she said. "sweetiebelle! Darling! hold the register for a moment, I have work to do!" She lead Niko to an office where she closed and locked the door. "there we go, now we have complete and total privacy. So, what is it you have in mind?" Niko looked at the door.

"Is the door sound proof?" Niko asked.

"Yes, why?" Rarity asked.

"This is very top secret. No one can find out about this." Niko said.

"Ooo, a surprise. That sounds wonderful darling. When is the big reveal?" Rarity asked. She sat down on a stool and gazed at Niko.

"Well, that's the thing. There is no reveal. Just a secret to be kept, and a mission." Niko said. Rarity gave him a strange look.

"I see. Does it have something to do with... You know... Recent events?" she asked. He gave her a small nod. She stood up. "Alright, what is it you need?" she asked.

"I need a jacket with a beaked hood. Preferably made of leather for durability." Niko said. Rarity nodded.

"I'll see what I can do." she said. "but first i'll have to take your measurements. Speed your arms and legs for me." Niko nodded and did as he was told. She used the measuring tape around her neck to take his measurements. "do you have any color preferences?"

"Black." Niko said.

"Alright, I have some thing in mind. But i'll need two blades with these dimensions to complete it. Do you think you can get them." she handed him a piece of paper with numbers on them. One was for a small blade, the other was for a longer one. Niko chuckled.

"Get them? Hell, I can make them. Just give me a day or two and the blades will be done." Niko said. Rarity nodded.

"May I ask what side your fighting for?" Rarity asked.

"I'm fighting against Viper Head. I was a witness to their first attack, I got lucky enough to find a way out. I still have nightmares. In them, I hear the screams of the people and the sounds gunshots. With each shot the screams become quieter. The latest attack is what pushed me to this decision. I just.... Can't stand by and watch them kill more people." Niko explained. Rarity nodded.

"You made a noble decision Darling." she said. "Now, back to business. I need you to take a look at some fabric swatches I have, I need to know what material to line the inside of your jacket with." she lead him to a wrack with roles of fabric on it. He looked at many of the fabric samples, making sure to take in the various textures and properties of each one. In the end he settled for a short, red colored fur to line the inside of the jacket.

"Alright, any other things I should incorporate into the design?" Rarity asked.

"Yeah, I have these wrist mounted Hidden blades. So the sleeves can't be too tight." Niko said.

"I see. Do you have them with you?" Rarity asked.

"No. Why?" Niko said.

"I'll need you to come back with them later, ill need the proper measurements for your wrists while your wearing them." Rarity said. "In the mean time, I will get to work on the main body of the jacket."

"Alright, i'll come back after I make the blades you asked for." Niko said.

"That will be much appreciated darling." rarity said.

"What are the blades for anyway?" Niko asked. She made a zipping motion across her lips.

"That's a surprise darling." Niko raised an eyebrow. He shook his head and just brushed it off.

"Alright then, ill come back with the blades." Niko said.

"Have a nice day darling." she said. Niko gave her a nod and walked out of the office.

"I guess I need to make two blades now." Niko thought.
