Fallout Equestria : The Bounty Hunter

There is always something to do...

        After receiving the reward from Red Eye's contractor for the death of the ghoul slaver,Quick Draw decided to check out a little encampment of traders in the East Manehattan area,north of Gutterville to be precise and see if there is any work to be found.

Upon arriving the encampment Quick Draw was greeted by a pale red maned earth pony mare with a light red coat and cyan eyes that was wearing the usual trader clothing:

"Hey there traveler,what brings you around this places?",to which Quick Draw said:

"Hi,i heard that some traders settled by and i wanted to check out what you fellas got"

"Sure thing stranger,if you got the caps we got the stuff's,so are you looking for something in particular?",the mare said,

"Well i was hoping to buy some ammo for my forty fours",this words seemed to make the day for the mare,

"You have to look no further if come with me to my tent i assure you will get the finest quality ammo for a reasonable price.",the mare began to trot fast towards her tent and Quick Draw following her,in her haste she almost bumped into a trader,but the trader managed to get out of her way,unfortunately she bumped into a caravan guard,a big one at that,the impact sent the mare on her rump but the caravan guard didn't even moved,towering over the red mare,seeing what happened the guard said to the red mare in a deep serious voice that sounded close to a stallion almost.

"Is this guy bothering you Spring?",Spring pick herself off the ground and said:

"Who..oh him nah,his my customer",then she turned around to the other merchants and with a louder tone she said:

"MY costumer!",the caravan guard looked at Quick Draw and then at Spring and then at the crowd,then she shrugged and carried on with her patrol ,

"Ahem!",the bounty hunter draw back the attention of the mare name Spring,she flushed a little then,recompose herself and said

"Amm...Right ammo sorry about that.",after that little show the pair began to walk again towards the tent with the ammo,to brake the silence Quick Draw said

"So let me guess you are not getting many costumers,do you?",the mare nodded,

"Well it ain't like i don't get any but the others merchants tend to steal my costumers",Quick Draw raised and eyebrow ,

"Really?",the mare nodded again,

"Well,at the end of the day it matters how many caps you got not how you got them or at least that what i heard.",after they passed a another tent the pair finally reached Spring's tent,and the trade began.

"Now here ya are two boxes full of forty four round,fifteen caps",offered the mare,

"Alright now,fifteen caps for this rounds,but do you have any three'o'eight?",the mare shook her head,

"Sorry i'm out of those"

"Well damn,i guess i wont use my sniper rifle that often",in curiosity Spring asked

"Well stranger,i got to ask what do you do for living?"

"Well you see i'm a bounty hunter,now i go after scumbags only so please don't worry and i also do other jobs that don't involve killing".Spring took some time to think and then said:

"Well then that explain the look,but i wonder if you'd like to do something for me?",Quick Draw took a moment to think about it

"And what that something would be?",Quick asked,the mare smiled

"Well its nothing hard actually,i need you to deliver this letter to a friend in Tenpony Tower,and i give you three more ammo boxes and maybe i can find some sniper rifle ammo to,so what do you say?".

"Deal,now i should go,thanks for the ammo",the mare's smile widened,

"Thank you ugh... I believe i didn't quite introduce ourselves.",the mare the looked shocked for a moment,then recomposed herself again.

"Sorry i forgot were my manner were when we've met,I am Spring Rose,who are you?"

"Um,Yeah i'm Quick Draw nice to meet you",

"Are you alright?"

"Um,yeah,"

"I'd better get going,"

"Is getting dark and Manehattan,"

"Dangerous at night,"

"Ugh..BYE!"

And with that Quick Draw the 'badass' bounty hunter runs like there is no tomorrow from a mare that he had some 'certain' thoughts about.            "Huh...what and odd fella."

After bailing out of a awkward situation Quick continued his journey to Tenpony Tower.

A ghoul lunges forward but its head is torn to pieces by two forty fours magnum rounds<well fuck that son of a bitch,coming out of no were ,pft,still not fast enough but i should keep an eye open for...>,a cacophony of roars comes from the distance and with it a whole pack of feral ghouls<Well shit>as the horde is making its way through the ruins of Manehatten Gardens Quick Draw is looking frantic for a better and more defensible spot to hold his ground against the incoming horde<come one,come on>,he sees a broken down sky wagon<death trap>,a ruined house<hmm... maybe>,he starts toward the ruined house then stops and spots more ghouls coming out of it,<well fuck>,then he spots a coffee shop that seemed clear, and runs as fast as possible,he jumps through a broken window draw his guns and scan the room<nothing,great,now lets barricade and pray>.

The horde of feral ghouls reached the coffee shop and then hell broke loose as they charged the windows and the door,breaking through the makeshift barricades and right into a mine field,as Quick Draw runs through the back door yelling:

"SEE YA LATER YOU UNDEAD BASTARDS!",the coffee shop full of feral ghouls is obliterated in big bang while Quick Draw resumes his path to Tenpony Tower giggling<Mines,never leave home without them>

Of course Quick Draw's victories are usually short lived as he gets attacked by raiders,give the circumstances,the only thing he could do,is of course to curse his luck,

"OH COME THE FUCK ON,AT LEAST GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK!",and well of course shooting them is a more sensible thing to do,but its not Quick's thing,but still it has to be done,given the raiders had knifes and bats  and the fact that they were just three it was no big deal,so you find out ,if you didn't already,Quick Draw's name is literal,in seconds the three charging raiders dropped dead to the ground

"Pft, a walk in the park",that is if you consider a second wave of better armored and better armed raiders 'a walk in the park',Quick sighed in annoyance:

"Here comes more,i hope they got their tickets ready for a RIDE TO HELL",then Quick pulls his sniper rifle and takes a better look at them through the scope<...four,five,...,six...assault rifles,hunting rifles,shotguns,oh well they got ...some guns...wait what is ...what the actual fuck?>There was a seventh raiders and he had a big minigun,

"Nah,fuck this,i'm out of here",and for the second time in this story our 'badass' bounty hunter runs like there is no tomorrow,at least this time he runs for his life.

After getting his ass shoot twice and gulped his last healing potion,Quick finally got away from the raiders,<FUCKING HELL,that was close>,then he sat down hard and winced from pain and jumped up in the air;

"OH FUCK,fuckidy ,fuck,fuck!"<ok are those damn potions working or what...oh wait they heal wounds not fix pain...silly me...damn it and i don't have any med-x>,

"Um,karma no offence ,BUT YOU ARE A FUCKING BITCH",then he start trotting forward hoping to find that damn tower already,when he turns a corner,Quick stops and with a sheepish grin said:

"Sorry Karma",there it was Tenpony Tower in all its fancy and unscorched glory,"OK,now just to get in and get paid.".

"Halt!,outsider what brings you to Tenpony Tower?",said a stallion guard<what the...oh right these fancy asses don't let everypony or should i say everyone inside>,

"Business."

"What kind of business",asked the tenpony guard.

"I got a delivery for your DJ and a letter for another one of your residents",when the guard heard this he seemed skeptical;

"What resident and for that matter what delivery?"<OH COME ON>

"Give me a second",<i accepted to deliver a letter,but never checked to who should i deliver it>,then Quick pulled out the letter and read to who the letter is addressed to

"For Helpinghoof."<huh were did i heard that name before?>,"As for the deliver,well,your DJ keeps complaining about the fact that he doesn't have that many new songs".

"And i should believe you why?",<UGH! ,From all the fucking guards of this tower could have i had to bump into the most skeptical>,but before Quick could lose his temper and do something he would regret a more feminine voice shouted:

"JUST LET HIM IN ALREADY!"

"But...",the stallion guard began to say,but he was cut off by the same mare guard this time without shouting,

"No buts,no asses,no nothing,he has the damn letter out and the DJ really needs some new songs so stop being an overzealous ass and let him in already,is getting late too,now you wont like having him on you conscience if the blood wings get him,do you?",after that little outburst the gates to Tenpony Tower finally opened to welcome the bounty hunter.

As Quick enters the tower the stallion guard that 'interrogated' him was making the 'i got my eyes on you' sign,while the mare that let Quick in approached him with a welcoming smile and said:

"Welcome to Tenpony Tower sir,now if you wish to proceed further inside you will have to turn in your ammo.",at the confused look she received,she shrugged and added:

"Those are the rules".to which Quick said:

"No offence,but it is  a stupid rule,i mean why not save time and energy by taking the guns rather than the ammo in them.",<now please don't get offended and kick me out>

"I know,but i don't make them,i just enforce them."

"So give in all the ammo you carry,please."<at least she is polite.>

After getting stripped of all the ammo,and looked in awe at how clean the tower is compared to the rest of the wasteland,to bad the residents were regarding Quick Draw with some sort of worried disgust probably because he was covered in the dirt and grime like any other wastelander was cover in,but walking the wastes isn't like going to a spa.<of course,if you are not as fancy as them they will look at you like they are a bunch of bigots and you are ghoul,to which i  think they are,if i recall they don't allow ghouls in just because they look like corpses,anyway i need to find this Helpinghoof and DJ Pon-three.>,so Quick Draw tried to ask the tower residents that passing by were he can find DJ Pon-three or Helpinghoof,but they just ignored him or just ran off,Quick sighed in exasperation,but after a bit of wandering around he found the tower's clinic<Helpinghoof Clinic?.. oh right now i remember it that was the name of those prewar clinics,hmm... interesting,so this guy is named after them...so he is a doctor,talking about dedication.>,he entered the clinic and spotted a brown earth pony stallion,with a stethoscope hanging from his neck looking over some papers.

"Good evening,doctor Helpinghoof,i assume.",

The brown earth pony stallion put the papers on a nearby table and turned to face his guest.

"Yes,i'm doctor Helpinghoof what can i do for you?",

"I got a letter for you",then Quick Draw pulled out the letter that somehow was still pristine,well as pristine you can get out in the waste and gave it to Helpinghoof,the doctor smiled a little when he read from who it was and said:

"Spring Rose,still looking for adventure's and fortune?",the doctor said with a smile,out of curiosity Quick asked:

"So did you know her?"

"Yes,she used to live here,but always complained about how boring it was to live in here,that's why she left,thanks for bringing this to me,i assume you didn't had a easy time getting here,so is there any way i can help you?"

"Well i'd like some medical supplies,if you got any to spare that is."

"I'm sure i have some supplies to spare..uh...i don't think you introduced yourself",<now were are MY manners>

"Oh,right,I'am Quick Draw."

"Alright Quick Draw i will see what i can find."after lightening his pockets of some bottle caps and then filling them with some healing potions and med-x,Quick left the clinic and instead of asking the impolite to the strangers residents,he decided to ask the tower guard were he can find DJ Pon-Three,and fortunately the guards were more cooperative than the residents,unfortunately the DJ was unavailable but Homage,his assistant was,to which Quick gave a small box with some holotapes with songs he bought from a merchant oblivious of their true,now of course he had to do something,apparently even the DJ had jobs to give him,at least the job is paid well,but the mission seemed a bit odd.

"So what does this little 'guardian angel' mission involves and who am i watching after?",asked Quick a touch skeptical.

"The DJ received some info on the stable dweller,apparently she and her gang are to participate to a prisoner exchange between the steel rangers and the steel rangers outcasts at the Bucklyn Cross,now i'm not sure if i can trust them to be civil so since you are here he will pay you a nice price for making sure that the stable dweller has some backup.",explained Homage,<HOLY SHIT THE STABLE DWELLER NEEDS MY HELP...but wait there a second,why me?>,still skeptical Quick Draw said:

"Are you sure i'm fit for the job?",

"The DJ has many contacts and well you got a quiet a reputation,competent and always get's the job done,and well you are already here so, what do you say?"<OK first i have a reputation?well i had but not here...and second me...competent...ME,well i get the job done but i wont use such a big word>

"Point me to the nearest ammo shop and you get yourself a deal."<well,now i know pissing off the steel rangers isn't going to be a good idea but what can i say helping the heroine of the wastes and getting paid to do so,why not,plus i always wanted to take a shot at those bastards.>

Looking more relaxed and a touch happier she said:

"Thank you,you have not idea how much this matters to me"<'how much this matter to me'...i knew the stable dweller had fans but never thought they were so dedicated.>
