Beginnings of a Immortal Wirewolf: Prequel to Alfreda and El Quatros Locos

Alfreda rolled through the city park with a smile on his face as he stopped on park bench relaxing in the sun. Unbeknownst to him, a figure in a black robe with a large scythe appeared a few feet away and before to walk to him. Lather walked by and sat next to Alfreda on the bench, shuffling to him a little with a blush.

"Hey Alfreda, there's something I wanna talk to you about." Lather said to Alfreda.

"If it's about that week in the Artic alone I told you we take that to our graves."

"No. It's...I think I like you."

"I like you too."

Lather began to blush even more as she moved a bit closer to Alfreda. "As in...lo-" Lather didn't finish as the figure in the cloak sat in between them. He was the size of an average pony, but was a Claptrap, only his arms and wheel visible as he bore a black cloak, allowing only one unblinking red eye to be seen on his face.

"Um, excuse me, you interrupted the lady. Could you apologize then kindly move?" Alfreda asked causing the Claptrap to look at him as Alfreda and Lather got off the bench. "Okay Lather, what was it you wanna tell me?"

Before Lather could speak, the Claptrap got in between them again and shoved a piece of paper in Alfreda's face. Alfreda took the paper off his face and saw it said 'Death Certificate: Alfreda. Signed, The Grim Claptrap.'

"Well I'm sorry Mr. Grim but you've got the wrong guy." Alfreda said crumpling up the piece of paper and throwing it away.

Alfreda was about to walk away when Grim stood in front of him scythe at the ready. Lather got in front of Alfreda ready to defend him only for Grim to hit her with his scythe into a jewelry store. Alfreda brandished his chainsaws and charged for the Grim Claptrap, only to be knocked back by the blunt end of the scythe. Alfreda rolled back afraid when an idea popped into his head. "Look! Joan Rivers!"

Grim looked behind him giving Alfreda the chance to run away and out of the park, to which Grim busted through a wall and after him. Alfreda hid behind a trash can allowing Grim to run by him and stop to look around him near the Power Ponies HQ. Alfreda got an idea and changed his shell color and put on a mustache approaching Grim. "Hey there! You must be the new intern. Perfect, You couldn't come at a better time."

Alfreda said in his fake Manehatten accent as he pushed Grim towards the door. He pulled out a large sack of money and tucked it into Grim's cloak as he pushed him through. "Just a little incentive for good luck." An alarm went off as Grim stepped in, then turrets sprouted up and fired on Grim forcing him to run around as they fired. The turrets then stopped for some reason allowing Grim to look in his cloak and find the bag of money. He looked around just in time for Mistress Marevelous' hoof to hit him down. Filli-Second ,Radiance and Humdrum came to her help and beat Grim senseless as he tried to head back for the door.

Alfreda rolled away back into the park until a whacking sound from far away could be heard and Alfreda saw a cloak and scythe heading towards him, to which Alfreda jumped out of the way as it landed. The cloak reformed and Grim dusted himself off before he took out a list titled. 'Special Cases to take care of' and put the names of the four heroes that just beat him onto the list.

Alfreda climbed into a tree and got a noose ready before whistling. "Hey bland and black! Try the trees!" Alfreda shouted prompting Grim to climb up after him only to fall through the noose and end up dangling from the branch out in the open with the rope around his waist. Alfreda rolled up to him with another sack of money in his claws.

"This is for Lather." Alfreda whispered into Grim's face before throwing the sack right in his face. Alfreda then rolled off knowing the next part, leaving Grim to frantically dangle trying to get the rope loose. Behind him, Filli-Second lead Zapp and Matterhorn and spotted him. "Get Em!" She yelled tackling Grim and ending up wearing his cloak though he was nowhere to be seen. Filli-Second then began to punch herself before tearing the cloak off causing Grim to tumble back in the cloak as Zapp shot lightning at his wheel. Grim ran away in Alfreda's direction prompting Alfreda to do the same and hide in a trash can along the way as Grim passed by, Zapp and Matterhorn in pursuit until Grim tripped and they then effortlessly bombarded him. Alfreda sneaked away as they continued to beat up Grim until he was a safe distance away and sighed in relief. "Alfreda?" A voice was calling out, to which Alfreda looked and saw Lather looking around for Alfreda.

Alfreda peaked out of his hiding spot and rolled up to Lather. "Lather? You're all right!" Alfreda shouted happily and ran up to his friend giving her a big hug. Lather laughed a little as he let go. "Well I see you got rid of that Grim psycho. Here's a little something for my short knight in shining armor." Lather gave him a kiss on the cheek, causing Alfreda to short circuit and collapse. Lather giggled a little as Grim rolled past them, with various cuts an burnt marks on him as he pressed a button on a remote, opening a door into the underworld in a tree and walked in. As Grim closed the door, Lather teleported behind him with Alfreda on her back. "Forgetting someone?" She asked sly.

Grim pushed them both out of the door frantically. "What's wrong? You want him don't you?" Lather asked before Grim took out the death certificate and tore it up. "You think tearing that thing up will change his mind?" Grim held his head in annoyance and panic before something clicked in his head and he played an audio of Alfreda. "Look Joan Rivers!" It played.

"Where?!" Alfreda yelled waking up and looked around. "Wait, I don't think that's her. That may be a man."

Grim took this chance to sneak back into the tree. Grim was ready to press the button when Alfreda put his wheel in front of it to stop him. "Here's a going away present." Alfreda told him tossing a tied and gagged HumDrum at him, then rolling away along with Lather. Grim looked at Humdrum then saw the Power Ponies, with the new addition of Saddle Rager, running straight for him, and beating his daylights senseless as the door closed behind them.

"You do realize you just trapped the Power Ponies in the Underworld." Lather told Alfreda.

"Yep."

"Loot stores?"

"Loot stores." Alfreda agreed with a smile.
