Misfits Night One

The trees of the farm shot by as I made my way to town. It had only been a couple minutes but the trees seem to stretch forever. The dim lights of town get closer and closer. I stepped off the main road and loaded my earth magic into my legs before being launched through the air on course for a field close to town. I landed with a roll right outside of town only scuffing my armor slightly. The street lamps were the only sources of light besides the light from stores and houses that lined the sides of the street. The calm silence of the night was broken by a group of voices.

"I hope the boss has more plans then just bullying this little town." Bingo!

"Yeah the petty money is almost not worth it."

The voices were coming my way and there was only one place to hide, I jumped into an alley off to the side of the street. The two reached the alley and were walking past I finally have a good look at them. One was a unicorn the other a earth pony. The earth pony held a bat and the unicorn looked unarmed, they're obviously up to no good.

Leaving the darkness of the alley I was right behind them. Stomping my glowing foot to the ground a wall of stone shot up in front of the ponies.

Turning around to face me their faces hold cocky grins. The unicorn looks to his partner, "How much bits would that armor fetch?"

The earth pony's smile widened , "enough to get the bosses attention."

I don't feel like this taking forever. Throwing my fist forward fire blasts toward the ponies. Dodging my fire the earth pony rushes me from the right. His bat coming inches from my face. His swing left him wide open. Swinging a punch to the back of his head caused him to fall on the street. Stomping my foot down, the ground around the earth pony shot up launching him into the air, one down one to go. The unicorn was no were in sight. The earth pony came back to the ground in a heap. I aimed my hand at him and my fingers shook as electricity sparked from my fingers, I winced slightly not sure of the outcome. The bolt of energy left my hand and the earth pony shook violently before going unconscious. I opened my eyes and poked him with my foot, "Yo who's in charge?" He was very unconscious, I shackled him to the ground with earth magic around his wrists and ankles, I picked up his bat and continued on.

2 Hours Later

The night air is still cold and fills me with an infinite amount of energy. There had only been small scuffles here and there nothing more than one punch fights or accouple comedically timed bolts of lightning all ending with a nice pair of stone shackles. The only things that stuck out was the fact that there was no pegasi in any of my encounters. I was currently on a ginger bread house roof with assistance of a ladder I found behind the building. The view would of been enjoyable if I wasn't hunting ponies.

The calm streets were interrupted by a certain unicorn from earlier. His panic was apparent in his movements, he ran while rapidly moving his head checking everywhere he could. Well I guess lookout duty was over, dropping to a knee and grabbing my wrist while my left hand began to fill with electrical energy. As the ball grew my control of it started slipping, the unicorn must of felt the accumulating power as he turned and noticed me. Jumping the gun I released the bolt of lightning which narrowly missed its target before ricocheting towards the sky filling it with many arching veins of electricity. The rolling sound of thunder still filled the sky as I pulled myself from looking at the sky to see the remainder of the road, It was scorched black and still smoking.

"Damn I was holding back." I got the slightest glimpse of the unicorn dipping into a alley down the street. My light steps didn't make a noise as I pursued the unicorn but that really didn't matter as half the town was probably awake from that light show. Turning in the alley the only place it lead to was a metal door. Pushing on the door it's locked. A little trick for metal things like locks and hinges for doors is the simple two finger blow torch. Extending my middle and pointer finger a blue flame grew and I got to work on the hinges of the door. The metal door fell as the last hinge was cut from the door frame. Revealing a bar full of thugs, I froze as multiple sets of eyes were on me.

I griped my new bat bracing for the inevitable fight. The unicorn from earlier stood up from a table, "that's the human that jumped me earlier and tried to blow me up."

A random thug stood up, " he has Thrashers bat too."

Rushing forward bat in hand I began to swing at anyone who got too close. The first drunken bastard hit the ground so fast I was worried he may never get up some static electricity still sparked off him courtesy of my bat. The second had more fight in him. The bat made contact with his ribs making him stagger and his hair stand up, the second blow put him to the floor. My wide swing left me open, I was tackled to the floor by an earth pony. I recovered fast smashing the base of the bat into the ponies teeth. Rolling off me he began spitting out blood and teeth, with my free hand I clenched a flaming fist and brought it down on his head bouncing it against the floor rendering him unconscious and crispy. The next pony picked up a chair his accuracy probably wasn't the best from the added effects of the alcohol. He stood close enough for me to shook him safely. my fingers shot out bolts of lightning and he jerked violently along with the several thugs near him before flopping over unconscious. The fifth was ready for a fight , My bat skimmed him but it didn't phase his punch to my face. I recovered from hitting the ground and sent out an sustained blue arc of electricity, anymore than a couple seconds probably would kill him. From the other side of the bar a pony leapt onto me catching me by surprise. He began to punch my face fueling my anger, my hands catching fire I swung a flaming punch full force the earth ponys jaw went slack and he rolled off me. My rage now fueling each movement. The last rushed couple rushed me but I was ready and pissed, my bat connected to the firsts head knocking him out with a audible crunch and with my pent up rage let out a plume of flame that rendered the rest unconscious and the room charred. I leaned down and felt a heart beat from my bat victims and smiled, if I was lucky I would be able to get through this without killing anyone.

Once again the unicorn must have slipped out when I was fighting and there was no one left to shake down. The night had been pretty successful but I don't envy the cleanup team in the morning as I dragged the unconscious thugs in the street to be collected.

1 hour from Dawn

I spent the rest of the night climbing buildings seeing nothing then moving buildings, only notable events I almost caught an owl. The slow walk while whistling was a competing sound to the humming of the electrically charged bat as I walked to the farm. Making my way into the barn I crawled up the latter and rolled into the loft snapping my fingers the pieces of my armor fell. My eyes begin to shut encasing me in darkness. I really hope that I don't get in trouble for the road.
