GTA V Equestrian crisis

"This is insane, after witnessing that owl thing's performance in dealing with these criminals, I can only how imagine this 'Demon' thing can rival it?" Twilight remarks. The 'former' green teem captain sighs.
"One on one, Demon can give Batowl a run for his money in close quarters combat, the others are just canon fodder distractions compared to their level of skill. Might be the edge the Batowl needs to take Demon down." As the captain finishes his sentence, gunshots could be heard behind the rooms closed doors, followed by death cries.

The guards in the room with the elements and captain, rush to block the door with shields and swords ready. The elements crowd the balcony with Twilight and the captain. The gunfire and screaming suddenly stops, everyone on edge, the guards holding fast. Waiting for whatever it is to come through the door. A small thud cold be heard as the door raddles a small bit. The guards flinch slightly as they continue to stare down the door, ready to defend the elements and their princess.

"Oh no, I hope spike and starlight are safe on their trip to the crystal empire!" Twilight whispers faintly, unsure of the state of the other provinces. Then one of the guards near the door speaks up.
"Does any pony else hear that noise?" She asks. Everyone stays silent and listens carefully, then another guard speaks.
"Yes, is that...beeping?" The guard inquires. The captain draws his sidearm and ponders.

"Beeping, why would they be hearing...Get away from door now!" The captain shouts, but it was already to late. The door explodes and kills the guards closest, sending others flying into the walls and a few staggering back but still standing. The captain fires a few shot at the door trying to hit the intruder, only to have his pistol shot from hands. The elements ducking to the floor.
Rushing into the room was the red and black monkey mask wearing vigilante. The guards that hit the wall recover and charge Lui, with incredible dexterity Lui raises his advanced rifle and quickly takes aim at their heads. Then with great and speed kills them with one shot to the unarmored face, whipping his gun left to right and right to left killing one at a time as they charge. As they all lay dead, the six remaining form a wall of two vertical shields in front of the captain and elements.

Lui quickly notices an opening on both sides of the shield wall, his rifle disappears as he raises his arms outward in a v form and fires his arm mounted guns. The two bullets bounce off each wall and go through each of the six crouching and standing guard's heads, destroying the wall formation as each guard falls dead. Leaving only the elements and captain left in the room with masked killer. The elements watch in horror as Lui lowers his arms and his advanced rifle reappears in his hands, lowered and relaxed. "Ola amigo." Lui says with an indifferent tone of voice.

"Calibre!" The captain says with venom. He walks in front of the girls as they stay down. "You bastard, you just murder them all, why damn it why!?" Lui raises his rifle.

"Lets keep this professional, there's a price on your head and I'm here to collect. Any final words to get of your chest before I put one in it?" Lui questions. The captain grunts angrily before giving up and sighing, he reaches into his back pocket and Lui tenses up for a moment ready to pull the trigger, relaxing when he see's it only a wallet.

"Trying to buy me off captain?" Lui taunts. "It won't save you."

The captain says nothing, opening the wallet and pulling out a picture. In it a man, a women and two children. "Sandra my love...John my boy...Lindsey my girl..." The elements look up at him, as his thumb lovingly and slowly sweeps across the photo as he names his family. "Daddy's coming to see you again." He says as his arm lowers with the photo in hand, then drops it at his side. The elements look at it then back up to the captain, tears starting to form in their eyes. The captain reaches for his belt, drawing his combat knife. Lui cocks an eyebrow as the captain raises it, pointing the edge of the blade at him.

"May my words be true to myself, now that my time come, may I have dragged as many of you devils down to hell with me as possible!" Lui huffs, then without warning, the captain charges Lui knife in hand. "AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Lui fires two shots into his chest and one in his head, ending the captain's life. The elements scream and cry as he falls dead his hand releasing the blade.

"Even in the face of death, died fighting, I respect that captain." Lui complements the fallen agent. "You heartless beast!" Rarity shouts, mascara running down her face. "Sorry you had see that ladies, its just business." Lui remarks indifferently.

"There he is!" Lui looks over his shoulder and sees two men dressed in black gear. "Light'em up!" Viking shouts as Sev comes into the room rifle at the high ready. Lui rushes forward at the elements shooting Viking's head, the bullet being stopped by the combat helmet. Before Lui could reach the elements, Twilight uses her magic and puts up a pink shield dome around them and herself. Lui runs up and over it then jumps off the balcony, Sev tries to shoot Lui before he falls, but Lui spins around and shoots Sev between the eyes. Lui then pulls a cord on his reusable parachute falling safely to earth.

"Shit SEV!" Viking calls to his fallen squad mate, crawling over to him still dazed from the impact to his head. Viking quickly see's the gunshot wound in Sev's head, he solemnly lowers his head, resting it on the floor. He puts two fingers to his radio headset. "Demon...come in, Demon..."

"Ha!" Wildcat tries to punch Demon with his brass knuckles. Demon steps into his attack, blocking it with his left forearm he delivers a revers right elbow strike to his jaw, then puts Wildcat into a cradle lock. Demon stacks wildcat into Batcoon and pushes him off himself.
Nogla comes in for an vertical strike to Demon's head with his bat, Demon takes his staff and turns it horizontally and blocks with both hands holding it, then gives Nogla a swift curl toed kick to the groin.

Batowl comes in for a left hook punch to the unarmored ribs, Demon steps back and deflects his fist with the short of the staff, Demon follows up with a quick two smacks to Batowl's head with the long and short ends of his staff. Following the second hit with the short end of the staff Demon spins and tries to hit Batowl hard on the head with a vertical strike with the long of his staff, but Batowl sidesteps the attack and knee's Demon Hard in the face. This makes Demon stagger back, as he does Batowl goes in for anther punch, this time to the jaw. Demon slides his hand outward towards the ends of his staff and blocks with the middle part, then deflects Batowl's fist to the side with a spin and smacks his head again with the top end of the staff. Going with the spin Demon tries to jab him with the bottom end, Batowl catches Demon's staff and elbows him hard in the lower part of his back, it knocks Demon away from himself and Demon turns back to face him.

"Fuck dude this bullshit!" Wildcat complains.
"We can't land a focken' hit!" Nogla interjects.
"Yeah only you can Batowl!" Batcoon says.
"Alright, you three go, I can handle this." They all nod and Batcoon drops a smoke pellet. When the smoke clears there all gone.
"Wise of you send them away, but foolish if you believe it will save them, it only further allows me to savoir the hunt! Time to clip your wings!" Demon taunts.
"Bring it Demon!" Batowl retorts.

They both take a fighting stance, when Demon gets a call on his radio.

"Demon...come in...Demon." Demon answers. Go ahead Viking."
"Its Sev boss, he's down, Sev is dead. Green captain is also dead. I'm sorry."

Demon goes stiff, his eyes widen, disbelief plaguing and clouding his mind. Batowl takes notice of this change in attitude, lowering his arms to his sides, staring Demon down from the middle of the street. Then the sound of shuffling armor could be heard approaching, Batowl looks to see many guards in golden armor coming from the castle, a crowd forms about twenty feet away.

"What's happening here?" A guard with a look of seniority asks.
"A professional disagreement, I respectfully ask that you allow us to sort this out ourselves." Batowl says holding a hand up toward the crowd.
"But why fight, you fight the same enemy, no?"
"Some of us aren't very different from our enemies."
"Make way, the princess and elements are here!" A guard somewhere in the rear calls.

The guards part at the center and a group of mares came forward along with Viking. He was about to come to Demon's aid. When Demon held his hand up to stop him, Viking hesitates before stepping back to the elements side. A few moments pass, Batowl and Demon staring each other down, unmoving and silent.

"Please!" Twilight calls out to them "We don't know why you fight each other, but we beg you to stop, there has been enough bloodshed!"
"Yeah dudes." Rainbow chimes in. "I'm all for a good tussle, but this crazy!"
"Come on sugar cubes, no more!"
"Please darlings do not persist with such actions!"
"Don't be party poopers!"

Demon and Batowl continue to stare for another few long moments, until with a flick of his wrist, Demon retracts his metal bo staff into the length of a baton and holsters it. The elements take a collective sigh of relief, believing the situation to be resolved.

"How did die Viking, how did Sev he go out?" Demon calls to his squad mate. Looking to him in the sea gold.
"It was Lui Calibre, he assassinated the green team captain, murdered the princess's security and killed Sev when tried to stop him!" Viking reveals to him.

Demon looks to Batowl, eyes narrowed in anger.

"We both know whom he associates with!" Demon shouts back.
"I didn't know he had a bounty he was trying to collect Demon." Batowl responds. "But knowing what you do, you can't say it wouldn't be hypocritical to judge his actions as different from your own."
"True, but now your all on the top of my shit list!" Demon growls stepping forward, drawing the sword from his back.

With one hand Demon thrusts his sword going in for a stab, which Batowl deflects to his side with his left gauntlet. Now with both hands gripping the hilt, Demon begins his clockwork assault, forcing Batowl to retreat. Slashing from two then ten o'clock, then one o'clock to eleven. Batowl continues to deflect with his gauntlets, when Demon jumps and does a left spin trying to go for a hard twelve o'clock.
Batowl catches the blade in between his left gauntlet blades, bringing the sword down off to the side, giving Demon a hard sideways hammer fist to the side of the face then grabbing the back of his head. Batowl tries to clock ward spin Demon to the ground with his grapple, before he could Demon uses his left hand to push Batowl's griping right hand off himself, while sliding the blade free from his gauntlet.
Demon then slashes at three o'clock but Batowl blocks this, Demon step to the left and again cleaves at three o'clock for a decapitation strike. Batowl see's this and blocks the blade again, Demon quickly spins right and reverses his sword grip going for a stab to the gut. Batowl quickly reacts and deflects the blade with his right gauntlet, Demon spins left going for another twelve o'clock strike. This time Batowl catches the blade with both gauntlets and traps it between the small angled triangle blades, then pulling in both directions, Batowl brakes Demon's sword in half.

The crowd audibly voices their astonishment, seeing the display of combat, death one wrong move from happening.

Batowl spins right and tries to elbow Demon in the face, Demon blocks with his right arm and steps back. Demon uses the broken sword like a long dagger, slashing at nine o'clock and quickly changing hands from right to left, going for a reverse gripped stab to the neck.
Batowl stops his attack by grabbing Demon's left arm, and delivering a hard punch to the right side of his ribs. This stuns Demon for a second, but he quickly takes the blade in his right hand still with a reverse grip, uses it to pull Batowl's armored forearm away. Demon then goes for a reversed grip slash at three o'clock to Batowl's stomach but misses, coming back at nine o'clock for a reverse slash to the neck.
At this point the fight had moved form one end off the street to the other, Demon's back had been put to a wall.
Demon tries to go for another three o'clock swipe, but Batowl grabs Demon's right wrist and stops the attack, then pushes Demons head hard into the wall.
Demon retaliates by using his left arm to push the hand away and grab the back of Batowl's head, then head-butting him. Demon then pushes forward jumping and pushing the blade to Batowl's throat and bending him backwards. Making Batowl almost lose footing, Batowl holds Demon's right wrist with his left hand barley keeping Demon from cutting his neck as Batowl is forced to do the matrix.

Some of the guards give audible "OH's!" unable to contain their excitement at the display of combat skills from both combatants. While some of the elements clasp their hands to their mouths emotionally, preparing to witness death by the sword. With the exception of Rainbow Dash and Applejack, being more tomboyish and emotionally stable, they only bite their lower lips while they look onward. Then Rainbow Dash's wings flare open, Applejack eyes her with confusion.

"What?" Rainbow asks. "I'm a black belt in karate, this stuff excites me!"
"This is life or death combat Rainbow!"
"It's not like, I just admire their skill is all, I don't want anyone to die!"

Batowl puts his left leg on the wall and pushes off doing a backflip. Landing behind Demon with his grasp still firm on his wrist, Batowl takes his other hand and grabs Demon's right bicep and uses his arm like a lever. Throwing him over his hip and back into the middle of the street. Demon roles with the momentum and recovers to his feet, sliding a few more feet back while crouching. Standing up, Demon switch's the broken sword from his right hand to his left, starting to walk forward to resume the fight.
When a gunshot sounds behind Demon and the rest of the sword's blade is removed from the hilt. Demon looks down at the bladeless sword hilt, having felt the impact for a brief moments he could tell the shooters location. Demon turns halfway around and raises the hilt to the assailant, unspeaking and silently starring daggers.

"Ha ha, as much fun as it is to watch you two go at it, I'm afraid I'm going to have to...cut this short!" Lui remarks in a snarky tone.
Demon grunts irritated "Your next Calibre!" he shouts back.
"This honorable one on one combat, do not interfere heathen!" A young guard protests.
"Yes, such actions are cowardice and a disgrace to our knight guard code of honor!"

With everyone distracted, Batowl maneuvers around Demon, now standing in front of the crowd. Batowl draws his grapple gun and shoots Demons armor chest plate, retracting the wire Demon is caught off guard and pulled toward Batowl. He clotheslines Demon with his right arm, making him backflip and land face down in the dirt. With the grapple line disconnected, Batowl holsters his grapple gun as Demon quickly pushes himself up into a crouching position, reaching to grab his heavy pistol from his holster. Batowl see's this and quickly closes the distance, side stepping Demon when he draws and fires at him. Batowl delivers a spinning left kick to Demon's hand, making him drop the gun, Batowl the continues with the spin and attempts to kick Demon in the head with his right leg. Demon stands up catching his leg and Hammer fisting down on Batowl's unarmored upper lliotibial tract.
Batowl responds with a wide swipe from a sideways knuckle first hammer fist to Demons jaw. Demon ducks under the attack and pushes Batowl away.

Lui still stands on the roof, opposite end of the street. Looking though his sniper's optic, waiting to get a clear shot as Batowl and Demon continue to fight in hand to hand combat, blocking and trading punches and kicks.

"Come on Demon." Lui says. "I had this bullet made just for you."
"Pics or didn't happen!" A battle cry roars from behind Lui.

Lui turns to see Viking coming at him with a battle axe. Viking cleaves down at twelve o'clock for Lui's head, he turns around and blocks the attack with his sniper facing sideways, both hands on it trying to push Viking's axe away. Lui tries to kick Viking back but Viking stops Lui short, Kicking Lui's leg back down before he could lift it any higher.
Viking slowly over powers Lui, pushing the axe closer by the second, when Viking suddenly rears the axe back then cleaves the sniper in half. Viking then elbows Lui in the chest, knocking him close to the roof's edge, Lui nearly falls while flailing his arms for balance.
When Viking comes up and kicks him from the roof, Lui falls a short distance but grabs onto a poll sticking out from the building, using his momentum to swing himself back up to the roof. Viking looks over the edge to see where Lui had fallen, only to be hit in the face with the bottom of a black boot. Viking slides back from the impact as Lui lands on his feet.

"That's not very nice." Viking mutters to himself, shaking his head to clear away the dizziness.
"Was your friend not enough of an example of what happens when you get in my way?" Lui asks.
"You know, I just realized your head would make a fine decoration on my wall, that way you have first row seat to ll of my personal 'conquests'." Viking says with a dark smirk, a mad glint within his eyes.
"Sometimes you just have to be admired." Lui say's, pulling a pellet from his back pocket. "Until we meet again."

Lui drops the pellet and smoke bursts from it, consuming Lui in its shroud. Viking runs forward and swings his axe through the smoke, hitting nothing. "Awe, it was just getting to the good part!" He remarks, bitter he hadn't been able to finish him right then and there. Slumping forwards at the lost opportunity.
Viking looks down onto the street and see's Batowl and Demon standing a few feet apart, breathing heavily and maintaining their respective fighting stances.

"Oh!" Bouncing back from his temporary melancholy. Leaning forward and squinting, he put a hand to his brow and said. "I spy with my little eye, a friend in need of help!"

Suddenly Batowl pulls out a nerf gun and points it at Demon, to which he laughs.

"Ha ha, a nerf gun, and what are you going to do with it, shoot me dead?"
Batowl smiles and says. "Nope." He then shoots the nerf dart at Demons head. It hits and disperses a green type of gas, Demon caught off guard by this he inhales it. He coughs and starts to stagger before dropping to one knee.

"Damn it... sleep..." Demon falls over.
"Well that was anticlimactic!" Viking mutters to himself, jumping from the roof and landing in the street with a roll. He charges Batowl battle axe in hand, when Batowl reaches into his utility belt and grabs a smoke pellet, throwing it down at the ground being cloaked in smoke.

Viking runs through the smoke only to find that Batowl had disappeared as well. "Awe come on, can't I have at least a little fun without being interrupted?" He shouts, looking at Demon who was now limp on the ground. "Demon; Demon you good man?" Viking asks as he roles Demon over onto his back. Checking Demon's neck for his pulse, not at all surprised he found it beating normally. He noticed the small rise and fall of his chest, indicating he was still breathing.

"A nerf gun that shoots sleeping gas?" Viking says to himself "Well, I'll give the guy points for creativity, that must be embarrassing for. Or at least it will be, when you wake up."

The crowd closes in on the two of them, the elements stepping forward.

"Is..is your friend ok?" Twilight asks concerned. To which Viking replies.
"Yeah, he's taking a short nap, give him a minuet."
"Oh good, we feared the worst!"
"I didn't." Viking says chuckling to himself.
"Who are you guys anyway?" Rainbow questions.
"Me and him are the last of our agency's unit."
"Agency?" Rarity inquires.
"Look, if you want know more, I'll tell you later but right now..." Viking said hoisting Demon over his shoulders. "I have to scavenge some basic supplies and find a good spot for us to camp, while we live somewhere as space hobos."
Viking turns and starts to walk away with Demon on his back.
"Wait!" Twilight calls out to him.

Viking turns halfway around and cocks an eyebrow under his mask.

"Yea, something you else needed?"
"You and your agents fought for the security and safety of Ponyville and its ponies, we can't leave you out on the streets!"
"Actually you can." Viking says scratching his head one hand.
"Yeah sugar cube, come ta the castle rest yer weary heads!"
"Yes please darling, its the least we can do in exchange for service!"

Viking ponders the offer for a moment, after a few moments he accepts. "Alright, whatever." He said shrugging his shoulders, causing his friend to shift slightly. "At least it beats foraging for wood for a campfire tonight.

Twilight nods and waves him to come, then turns to address the guard with the look of seniority. "Captain Stalwart Shield, It pains me to ask this of you and your guards but..." Twilight looks around at the many dead bodies littering the street. Captain Stalwart Shield nods understanding. "Yes your majesty."

The guards part to allow the elements and the last remaining agents to pass.

"Alright ladies and gentlecolts, while the battle is over we still have one last job to do..." Captain Stalwart Shield begins to order the guard. The elements stumbling through the street trying to avoid stepping on the dead bodies, averting their eyes trying their best to keep looking strait with grim expressions.

Stepping on a thugs corpse, Viking commented. "Well, looks like to coroner's office is going to be busy today."

The elements glance back at him uneasily, unsure as to how he could be so nonchalant in the face of such carnage. The continue through the sea of death until the reach the castle stairs. Two sentries stand at the door, opening it for the elements and closing it behind them as the enter.

"Swanky place you have here." Viking says looking around at the lavishly decorated entrance hall.
"Um, yes thank you!" Twilight said.
"A little bit to fancy for my liking, but you got to give the princess her do's I suppose."
"Let me show you to your quarters, I'm sure your friend his heavy enough with all that armor on. I think you would like to get him off your back."
"I mean I could just drop him here, bet it would wake him up faster. But that would be a bit impolite, I suppose."

The elements exchange another questioning glance.

"Right...this way please!" Twilight beacons. Leading everyone down a hallway and up a curving staircase. "Just right here." Twilight opens the door. "Please you first!" She bows slightly.
"hmmm, if you say so." Viking said, moving into the new room.

At the back was a king size bed, plenty of room to move around. Two separate bathrooms, A flat screen TV and a computer. Dressers, plug in fans and mini-fridge. It had all the luxuries of a house hold, minus a kitchen.

"I hope its alright?" Twilight inquires.
Viking looked around whistling. "I guess its pretty swanky." He then leaned backwards, shifting his shoulders.
Demon slid off and landed on the ground with a load *thwump*. "Wake up lazy ass, we have shit to do today. Viking said leaning back whilst popping back.
Needless to say Demon did not wake up, who would have thought a little blunt trauma wouldn't wake someone up from knockout gas. Amid the completely stunned silence, after waiting a couple of moments for any reaction from the unconscious man, Viking then turned towards the stunned mares.
Before then throwing up his hands in a shrug while saying. "Well, I've done all I can do." Before walking back out of the room.

Rainbow Dash could not help but to silently mouth "What the fuck?" She and Applejack then with all their might, hosted him over their shoulders and help lay him down on the bed. "Who the fuck does that?" Applejack Whispers to no one in particular. "Oh my heavens girls, please with the language...but fuck me if I do say that is not how a friend should treat another friend."
"Shh, don't let him hear us!" Fluttershy whispers.
"To late there I'm afraid!" Viking said, popping his head in the door with a wink before pulling it back out.

Fluttershy *epps* hiding behind her own hair. The rest of the girls hissing inward through their teeth, not speaking any further about what had just occurred. They each exit the room one by one, leaving Demon to sleep in what is now probably a coma.

"Um..." Twilight starts. "Lets go back to the thrown room and we can discus a few things."
"hmmmmmmm K" Viking responds.

The group goes back the way they came, until they comeback upon the six thrones. Each element taking their respective place on them.

"Now lets get started, I am princess Twilight Sparkle. These are my friends Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. Together we are the elements of harmony, we have been Equestria's defenders sense we first became friends!"
"Alright, a bit on the cutesy side but go on." Viking replied, standing with his arms crossed.
"Who are you, and your friend up stairs? Both your skills in battle are impressive."
Viking scratched his masked cheek, before slowly answering, "I'm not sure what the full extent of what you saw was, but in all honesty, that's a question better answered by my napping associate. But for now, just know that we're here in relative peace, and we mean your people no harm. You have my and my partner's word on that."
"A fare answer, What is it you do?"
"I suppose in a way we are bounty hunters, we work with our peoples government to bring down those whom would make life difficult for the average citizen."
"Can you elaborated on this." Twilight asks.
"Difficult to explain, we don't deal with the common criminal, as we have our own police force for that. We also do not deal with external threats, as that is what our military is for. You could say we deal with the likes of gang leaders, kingpins and drug lords. To summarize, we deal with threats that seek to destabilize the daily live of our citizens. Though lethal force if necessary, and trust me as sad as it is, it is more common than not."
"That...is evident by all that has transpired today, we are glade to of had all of you services on this day of crisis. We are sorry for your losses."
"I only wish we had more of us left to continue our work."

The elements bow their heads solemnly, silently paying their respects.

"I guess this means I hope you can forgive me for my unorthodox behavior easier, as the stress of losing comrades in the heat of battle does weird things to me." Viking nods his head. Each element voices their acceptance of his actions.

"But of course sir." Twilights said. "We hope your mental wellbeing will keep heathy, we have had our own share of battles, all be them far less...bloody."
"Yes well, blood and death is an unfortunate fact of life where we're from. Not a day goes by where we are not forced to take a life in service to our people."
"We will be sure to hold a service for all who have perished this day." Twilight said putting a hand to her chest.
"Thank you that would be most appreciated, I'm sure if Demon was awake he would be thanking you as well."
"Yeah about that..." Rainbow begins to ask.
"I know what I did was unusual back there but trust me, you'll understand why I did what I did when he wakes up."
"Right...not what I was going to ask but, why is called Demon, what's up with that?"

Viking paused, with a surprised and dare they say fearful expression. Before eventually adding in a nervous tone, "Lets just say that there are many reasons that the criminals of our world fear the dark, and that Demon is the cause of most of those fears." Before he added with a dark smirk, "Just be glad he's on your side."

The elements feel a shiver run up their spines. Grim curiosity plaguing their minds, wondering what actions one must commit to be branded a 'Demon'.
