Wild Horse meets Equestian Girls

Ranma pov

It’s been three days since you met Sunset and you already were tired of her shit. She was lazy and demanding, expecting you to do the manual labor that kept the warehouse from falling in your heads. She spent most of the day reading her weird books and making magic jewelry outta her gem collection, that’s right magic jewelry. You’d figured that out after the second ring she made allowed her to levitate the various books around her head to quickly reference things from them.

The one time you’d tried to snatch some gem to exchange for some cash she’d blasted you with fire! They weren’t even the most expensive looking ones!

You’d come to the logical conclusion that she must be a runaway trainee witch, looking at her when she worked showed you that she wanted as much knowledge crammed into her head as quickly as possible. It occurred to you she probably ran to escape or grow stronger then her teacher, reminded you of your situation really.

“Hey, flame-head! When you gonna do something productive here?” her response was a quick moving small fireball you just tilted your head to avoid. “That's not an answers you know.”

“Yeah don’t care, I need to get myself equipped. At least till I get access to my magic again, and your constant badgering ain’t helping. Besides I don’t need your help your just freeloading and fixing this place isn’t gonna do much, after all a real home or base is needed. This place is a temporary shelter, your treating it as if it’s a home.”

You couldn’t really say anything to that, it was pretty much true.

With a sigh you stood up and got your pack, you needed to start searching for a job. You needed some money, if only to get something other than dried fruit in your stomach. You needed some rice or meat, maybe some bread.

Leaving the building and jumping to the roofs you began hopping toward where you saw the people gathering. Maybe you’ll get lucky?

Sunset pov

Well Red was gone, and while you enjoyed insulting her you really needed to concentrate. This next piece was gonna be harder than the rest, but when it was finished you’d be able to defend yourself without carrying the gun (Red had told her what it was after you pointed it at her for trying to take her gems).

What she was making now was a personal force field earring, unfortunately she already had already run out of space on her fingers. Attack and utility spells mostly, after this a maybe a regeneration spell? If she could figure out how to make one, that field of study hadn’t really been important to her before, really stupid now that she thought about it. Maybe an illusion? Than again she wasn’t very good with those, she tended to overpower and collapse the delicate spell matrix. Maybe a single point shield to compliment the force field?

“Done, and I need a break. It’s been what two-three days since I left this dirty building.”

Leaving the gun behind you walk out of the building for the first time in days and immediately had to duck behind a couple of barrels. Taking a cautious look from cover you saw what made you hide in the first place, five pon-people armed with smaller but sleeker looking gun were surrounding another person in a expensive looking suit.

“Okay gentlemen the package should be three warehouses down this way. Let’s make this fast I have a meeting to get to in an hour, if you’ll make me miss it, it’ll be your jobs.” the suit man said.

Criminals? Well this just made her curious, what were they here for and could she grab it first. After all whatever it was it’d be worth something or it could be something useful.

Slipping to the side of her warehouse she activated her levitation ring and lifted herself to the roof, the man had said three warehouses down. While they had to go through the streets filled with refuse and random containers she just floated herself to it. Opening an office window and floating in she started to sneak through the building.

She ended up finding the package sooner than expected, it was in the second office under a rotted desk. With it secured in her levitation field she quickly left and made it back to her warehouse.

“Now let’s see just what’s in here.”

A shaping knife cut through the tape binding it rather easily, and inside she found stacks of green paper and a couple of boxes. Putting the paper to the side she open the first box and found some cut magic inert gems, that was useful after she charged them up they could make more spell rings for her.

The second box was lock tight but fiddling with the mechanism with your rings opened it, and ruined the lock but that wasn’t important. Inside you found a single slim black object with a silver end on one side, you had no idea what it was but if those guys wanted it had to be valuable in some way.

Putting it all in your bags with a couple jars of dried fruit and the gun with its darts, you hurried out of the buildings and to the more public areas. You couldn’t stay in the warehouse for a bit, the people searching for the package would be tearing the area apart for a couple of days looking for their stuff if they were anything like their counterparts back home.

Overall you profited with just the gems, but if the paper was what you thought it was you’d hit the jackpot. Now to find a way to confirm without looking like an idiot or thief, even if you technically were one now.

3rd person

Sunset and Ranma had both left the area and it was just as well as the criminals had called in backup after finding the package missing. The place was practically swarming looking for said package, the money and gems were an acceptable loss but the drive. That was too valuable to lose.

Without knowing it Sunset had disrupted a criminal’s bosses plans. They wouldn’t stop till they found the drive.
