By the Nightly
Chapter 4 Target Acquired
Previous ChapterNext Chapter((This is gonna be in third person because I cannot make first person fight scenes to save my life))
Rumble was the first one to make a move. He charged Nightly in an attempt to stab him in the chest and end it quickly, but failed as Nightly side-stepped and brought his elbow down on the back of his head, sending him into the tile floor. Before Rumble could pick himself back up Nightly delivered a swift kick to his chest, sending him flying outside (through a closed door) into the middle of the square, attracting the attention of everyone passing by.
Nightly pulled out his wand and pointed it at Rumble enveloping him in his magical hold and lifting him up ten feet in the air with a flick of his wrist, and slamming him into the ground. After repeating the process ten times Nightly finally stopped and put away his wand.
'No way! This can't be happening! He can't be beating me! I'm a former commando for Celestia's sake!' Rumble thought with frustration.
Rumble turned his head and glared daggers at Nightly who was walking slowly towards him with his hands in his jacket pockets (whistling the Clint Eastwood theme). 'What the hay?! Is he even taking this fight seriously?'
Nightly stopped walking about ten feet from where he was laying, "Are you giving up yet?" he asked in a bored tone.
"No way in hell! That was a fluke!" Rumble shakily stood back up and took up a fighting stance.
Nightly sighed and looked directly back at him, "You don't get it. Sie sind unterlegen.((You're outmatched))
"No! I refuse to lose to you! I'm not going to be beaten by another one of Celestia's dogs!" Rumble yelled with anger. Nightly could almost feel something snap after that sentence and soon fell silent
He simply stared at Rumble with an unreadable expression. "Vhat did you just say to me veakling?" Nightly spoke with spite laced in each and everyone of his words.
"You heard me you stupid, d-" Rumble was cut off as Nightly wrapped his hand around his throat.
"You don't get to speak to me like zat you useless coward!" Nightly yelled as he tightened his hold on Rumble's throat. "I serve novone! You hear me trottel?"
Rumble couldn't do anything except stare a Nightly and cough out random curses at him before being silenced by a hard punch to his right temple knocking him out instantly.
"Fricken idioten"
((Back to first person))
Nightly POV
'That was probably the most boring fight I've had with a target ever.' I drop Rumble onto the ground and look around. There are at least twenty people staring with fear and shock at me (except one girl with wall eyes who looked more confused than scared). Every time I so much as glanced in their direction they would avoid my gaze (except for the wall eyed girl)
In the end I just sigh and sling Rumble nonchalantly over my shoulder and walk back into Sugarcube Corner. I focus back on the couple behind the counter who are just staring at me shock.
'Uh, maybe I shouldn't have kicked him out the door. I knocked it off the bloody hinges.'
"Sorry about ze mess, how much for mein food and ze damagez ma'am?" I ask ignoring their shock completely.
No response. "Hello~?" They finally snap out their shock.
"I-I'm sorry, what did you say sir?" the woman asks.
"Um...how much?"
"Absolutely nothing!"
I blinked in confusion at her, "I'm sorry, I think I misheard you. Can you say zat again."
"You just saved us from that robber your holding, so I won't charge you." she explained with a smile as the man left to get whatever I ordered.
"Um...vell thank you."
"It's no problem son, now have a nice day now." the man said with warm smile, as he handed me my order.
"Danke"
'They were nice.' My shopping trip was rather uneventful after I left Sugarcube Corner. Minus a couple stares I bought a pink rose and I'm now on my way back to the hospital without a hitch this time. The order (which was apparently a cupcake) is in my hand while the rose is floating alongside me. 'I feel like I'm forgetting something.'
After about five minutes of thinking I eventually give up and start walking towards the front doors of the hospital. When I open the door everyone was still there in the waiting room in the seats except they wore looks of shock when they saw me walk in (except for Screwball). 'Did they not expect me to come back?'
"Uh...Gutentag, can I help you?"
No response. It doesn't even seem like they even looking at me. It wasn't until I followed their looks towards Rumble 'oh'. "Zhis iz Rumble he tried to rob a place called Sugarcube Corner, so I kicked his ass."
"So why is he with you?" Twi asked never taking her eyes off us.
"Classified."
"What do you mean classified? Are you a spy?" Rainbow asked with suspicion.
".......Vhat?"
"Ignore the last part. What do ya mean classified?" Applejack asked.
"I mean classified. It'z very simple."
Screwball stood and started walking towards me. "Boss why didn't you call me? I could've helped with the target." The puppy dog eyes, Must.....Not.......Look......damnit
"He should vake up soon if you vant to take a sving at him." Damn you Screwball.
Almost on cue I heard a groan come from Rumble. 'Good, I was starting to get tired of carrying him around' I put my hand on my spell gun just in case he tried to fight again.
"*groan* Where am I?" he was either very groggy or very unobservant, either way Screwball won't have much of a fight from him since I didn't have that much fun. I drop him onto floor so he can see who carried him.
"Oh how ze mighty have fallen." I can't help, but smirk at the terrified expression on his face. "Vhat? Are you not happy to see me?" I ask with mock hurt.
"No, I'm not, German!" I let out a small chuckle.
"Zat'z good, because Screwball here vanted to play unt I don't like you anyvay."
I look at Screwball, and she's jumping in excitement. "Yay! Yay! YYYaaaaayyyyy~! Thank you so much Nightly!" she jumped at me and wrapped her arms around me in a hug continuously thanking me and nuzzling me with her head.
I think for a quick moment about what I just did as she thanks me: I just released the Daughter of the Chaos God Discord on an average mortal. 'Ok maybe I should change my meaning.'
"Um Screwball maybe you should vait until ve reach Canterlot ja'?" she stopped hugging and looked up at me in confusion.
"Why?"
"I'd razher not have Celestia mad at me and revoke my payment because you got carried avay fighting him." I deadpanned.
"Awww come oooon I won't get carried away I promise!"
I simply stared at her with no emotion. "Awww fine, jerk!"
"Call me vhat you vant It von't change my mind."
"I see thou art still getting along well Nightly!" a familiar (very loud) voice shouted.
'It's been a while since I heard that voice.' I turn my head to face my old friend.
"Gutentag Luna."
