Previous ChapterNext Chapter

The sun rises over the horizon, a grey stallion wakes up with a saddlebag, some guns, and other items, such as a deck of cards, a small suit with a twelve on it's back, and a bag full of caps, and a note. "Ungh, where am I, who am I?" The stallion thought to himself, he held his head and looked around. "I'm alone." He said. "Why am I alone? and why does it make me feel sad?" After a bit he stood up and gathered up the items with him, he looked to his rear and saw a cutiemark, of a playing card. "huh?" He took out his deck of cards and looked through them. "There must be a name for this card." After a while of searching the deck he found the card that was on his flank. "An ace of spades huh? well guess that's my name." The stallion looked around and started walking in a random direction, in hopes of finding something.

"Come on pass the cider over." The stallion heard a voice say from afar.

"Not yet, i'm not drunk." Another voice said.

'Well yall need to pass it back to me." A third, more feminine voice said. Without thinking the stallion walked towards the source of the voices, and he saw a camp. "Now see, was that so hard?" The feminine voice said.

"Umm hello?" He said as he stepped closer to them. He was able to see the three ponies that where talking, one of them was brown and had a black mane, he was also wearing some sort of makeshift armor, the second pony he saw was an orange pegasus mare, and the third was a black unicorn "I'm kind of lost, and I wa-"

"Stop right there and give us all of your stuff." The pegasus said.

"Why would I give you my stuff?"

"We outnumber you, three of us, and one of you, and if you don't want to die." The brown pony said. "Then you'll give us everything you've got."

"Make me!"

"You asked for it." The black unicorn levitated a pistol up to the grey stallion's face. "I'll blow your brains out, it'll be messy, but we'll have your stuff." Panicking the stallion looked around to try to find a way out of this situation.

"You have to the count of three." The pegasus said.

"One..." He looked the unicorn dead in the eyes, making sure to show as little fear as possible.

"Two...." He reached slowly into his saddlebag to grab one of his guns.

"Thr-" He quickly pulled out his pistol and shot the unicorn right in his face, his face caving into itself, blood and bits of brain flying backwards.

"Kill him!" The pegasus said. The brown pony took out a knife and ran swinging. Swiftly dodging the blade, the grey stallion shot into the pony's side, making him wince and fall in pain. The pegasus had already took flight and was flying away to try to escape him.

"Oh no you're not." The stallion took out a rifle and aimed down the sight to the pegasus. "You're kinda slow." He pulled the trigger landing a single shot into the back of the pegasus's neck, making her fall to the ground below. He looked around and saw the dead ponies and nearly threw up. "I can't believe I actually killed ponies, I think i'm going to be sick." He looked down towards the ground. "What happened to me, it was like I had no control over my body."

"Unng." The brown pony groaned as he tried to crawl away.

"Where do you think you're going?" The brown pony looked back at the grey stallion who had shot him in the side.

"N-nowhere." He said with panic in his voice.

"Good, stay there and answer some questions for me."

"S-sure, whatever you say."

"What is this place we're in?" He asked as he looked over the dead unicorn.

"You're kidding right? We're in the wastes, it's kinda what used to be Equestria after the pony zebra war."

"Okay, tell me what this unicorn was wearing."

"It's reinforced leather armor, we don't know where the leather came from, probably dead cows, but it's kind of useful for protecting from gunshots and stab wounds."

"Well it's mine now." He took the armor off the unicorn and started to put it on. "Why did you guys try to kill me?"

"We where desperate, and it's kind of what ponies do now a days, there's limited resources, so you know." He shrugged.

"Well it's wrong, if you had asked nicely and not pointed a gun at me, maybe I would have shared with you three." He finished putting on the armor, it fitted snugly on him, not restricting his movement.

"No pony wants to share."

"I would have, maybe." He walked over to the downed pony. "Now you get to ask me a question." He gave a smile.

"Who the hell are you?" He spat at the pony standing over him.

"Me?" He said with a pause as he raised the barrel of his pistol to the brown pony's head. "I'm Ace of Spades." He fired, blowing the pony's brains out, blood splattered onto Ace. "And i'm going to find out what i'm doing out here with no memory." He said to himself as he walked into the wastes, making sure to cover his tracks.
