Assassin: Savior of Canterlot

Niko stepped into Rarity's shop once again, this time with two gauntlets and two custom blades. Both were inside a wooden box as to not draw attention to them. But he was also carrying a bag on one of his shoulders, with an unidentified object inside. He walked to the back room where he and Rarity were working last, making sure not to draw attention to himself. He knocked on the door and waited a moment. The door opened and Rarity's head peaked out. She took a few steps back and let him inside.

"I got the gauntlets and blades you asked for-" he stopped when he noticed there were others in the room. Rarity wore a look of concern.

"I'm terribly sorry darling, I couldn't keep this from my friends. I would like you to meet-" she was cut off.

"I know who they are, but WHY DID YOU TELL THEM!" he said. Rarity gave a nervous smile. "None of you told anyone else, did you?" Niko asked.

"Don't worry dude. We won't tell anyone without your permission. We have your back man!" Rainbow said. Everyone else gave a nod of agreement.

"Ok. Anyway, I made the blades you asked for. I also brung the gauntlets." Niko said.

"Wonderful darling, just leave them on the desk and head to the waiting room upstairs." Rarity said.

"i never knew you had a waiting room upstairs." Niko said.

"Its for VIP's. girls, you can keep him company. I would like some peace and quiet while I'm working." Rarity said.

Niko sat down and set his bag down next to him. He sighed as he relaxed into the chair. The girls sat with him, each taking a chair near him. Rainbow was the first to break the initial silence.

"So... whatcha got in the bag?" Rainbow asked bluntly.

"Rainbow!" Sunset said.

"What? Just asking." Rainbow said. Niko chuckled.

"Well to answer your question, I can show you." he said. He opened the bag and pulled out something black. the girls gasped when the realized what it was.

"Is that a-"

"A Remington bolt action riffle with a sniper scope, yes. But I also..." he reach into his bag and pulled out a colt 45. "have this babies."

"Why do you have those?!" Rainbow asked.

"These will be added to my arsenal of weapons." Niko said. "You didn't think that I would be fighting them with knives alone, did you?"

"Well, no." Sunset said.

"My point exactly." Niko said. He put the weapons back in the bag, and removed an object made of leather. "This is a holster for the pistol, I can attach it to anything will a belt."

"Just don't shoot yourself. That would cut your mission short pretty quickly." Applejack said. The door to the waiting room opened and Rarity stepped in. She pushed something into the room with a white sheet draped over it. It had a human-like silhouette to it, which only succeeded in peaking Niko's curiosity.

"Alright, your outfit is ready." she said. She removed the white sheet and stood next to the mannequin that was hold the outfit. The girls gave a collective 'ooo'. " I stuck with your intended materials, while adding in a few of my own. The arms, shoulders, chest and abdomen all have a lightweight Kevlar armor that can stop a forty caliber bullet. The armor is inside of the jacket, between the leather exterior and the fabric interior. I also gave you two new weapons. You made the blades for them, but I had a specialist make the rest. You have a one handed long sword with a sheath, as well as a chain whip with a dagger on the end of it. The dagger can be thrown like a-"

"Like a dart, I know. I had to make one to get out of their first massacre alive." Niko said.

"Well, do you still have it?" Rarity asked.

"No, I left it on a rooftop somewhere in town. I didn't want to be shot at by police when I reached their check point." Niko said.

"Now you have one. Anyway the back of the jacket comes down just passed the knee. I also took the liberty of giving you finger-less leather gloves." she said. "What do you think?"

"I think its perfect. How much?" Niko asked.

"Free of charge. Its the least I could do for someone who will be fighting for our freedom." Rarity said. She pointed to a hallway at the back of the room. "the changing room is down that hall over there, why don't you try on your new outfit?" Niko nodded and grabbed his bag. Rarity looked at him curiously as she took the coat and weapons off the mannequin.

"Why do you need your bag darling?" she asked.

"It has a few weapons of my own in it." Rarity nodded and handed the coat to him.

Niko came back from the changing room with his hood up, and his new outfit all together. He had the riffle slung over his back via a strap that ran diagonally across the torso. The sword, sheath, and the holstered gun all sat attached to his belt. The chain whip and dagger wrapped diagonally around his torso, opposite of the riffle strap. his gauntlets were mostly concealed, and the blades were retracted. He was still wearing his black jeans and boots, but the outfit didn't come with anything but the jacket and extra weapons. The girls looked at him, and Rarity smiled.

"You look very intimidating darling." she said.

"Thanks. well, tonight I'm going on my first patrol. I'll get to keep those Viper Head fuckers out of our town." Niko said.

"Do you even have any combat training?" Rainbow asked.

"Unfortunately, yes." Niko said.

"Why is that unfortunate? Isn't that a good thing?" Sunset asked.

"It's unfortunate because of the way I learned it. You see, my father was an ex-spetsnaz. He strongly believed that he should teach me everything about being a spetsnaz. If you've ever heard of the spetsnaz training regimen, its brutal to say the least. I passed the training, but my father always put me under various tests, like breaking cinder blocks over my body and such." Niko said.

"You said he WAS an ex-spetsnaz. Is he a spetsnaz again?" Sunset asked.

"No, he-uh... He died of cancer a few years ago." Niko said.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to-"

"It's ok, you didn't know." Niko said. "But if there is one thing I know, its that those terrorist are going to wish they'd never launched those attacks."
