Kill the five

The early morning sun shun brightly on the beach. Winter just starting to lose its grip and only a thin blanket of dry snow remained on the bright sand. The sky was cold and blue, not a single cloud in sight. A strong wind pushed the sea to form waves breaching on the shore line. The cold smell of salt filled the air.

“So let things straight, your telling me that some crazy cunt chopped her way through all of Zilas Bloodletters, got Black Dynamite and Slit-throat with only one revolver and a katana?” Heartbreaker scratched the back of her head and pushed her hoof over her crimson mane.

“No,” Shade Stir replied. “she killed Zila and all his Bloodletters and Black Dynamite was about to get her when Slit-throat decided to split his skull in half. For some reason.”

Heartbreaker laughed. “She always was a mad mare.”

“Know why she did it?”

She shrugged. “Slit-throat wasn´t exactly the most talkative pony in the world. It was always hard to tell what exactly she was thinking. I guess she thought that mare would make for a good fight. And from what your telling me it seems that she was right. Any idea who she was?”

“That’s part of the reason why I´m here. Seems to me that she killed Noose first, before coming after Slit-throat. Not to mention that she told me to make sure that the rest of her friends know that she´s coming. Seems to me that she has some kind of history with you and the remaining Immortals.”

“Told Cinder yet?”

“I did and seemed to know who she was but then refused to tell me. His brother wasn´t much use either.”
Heartbreaker´s horn started glowing and she elevated a six pack of beers out of the ocean. “So what did she look like?” She asked after opening the first can.

“Red mane, yellow coat, golden brown eyes. Young, had a bit of an accent.”

“Doesn´t ring a bell.” She took a few chugs out of the can.

“You sure?”

“We´ve been at this for so many years and even more ponies have come after us I´m honestly surprised nopony has managed to start hunting us down sooner. Whatever we´ve done it must have sure as hell pissed her off.” She took another chug and gave Shade Stir a harsh stare with her cold blue eyes. “You do realize that by coming here you may have just lead that mare right to me?”

“Of course I do. Don´t think it matters though. She managed to track me down, find and kill Noose before that. I think she´ll find you sooner or later regardless of what I do.”

“So why did come here?”

“I already told you. She told me to make sure that the rest of you know that she´s coming.”

“Bold cunt.”

“She cut her way through twenty specially trained ponies, all with different weapons and skills and she made damn sure that we knew she was coming. And not to mention she somehow managed to get Slit-throat even after cutting up every single Bloodletter. I´d say she has earned the right to bold.”

“We´ll see how she fares against two of us at the once.”

“Think you´ll get her?”

“We´ll kill her. I may not know who the hell this crazy cunt is but she made it personal the moment she killed Noose.”

Shade Stir chuckled. “Betting both your lives in dangerous game like this. Now I´m starting to wonder who´s bold.”

Heartbreaker drew a knife from her hoof and pressed the tip under Shade Stir´s chin. “I may be bold, but I´m no cunt.”

“Are you trying to scare me?” Shade Stir chuckled and meet Heartbreaker´s gaze. He took the blade in his hoof and pressed down until steaming blood dripped onto the white snow. “Between you and that sword swinging, sharpshooting, vengeful mare… I´d rather take my chances with you.” Both their hooves trembled as Shade Stir pressed down.

Heartbreaker´s face formed a hard frown. Her eyes narrowed into small, sharp gashes and she felt her heart making hard, loud beats in her chest. She blinked and heard the muscle beating inside her barrel like a loud, thundering drum. She opened her eyes again and stared right back at Shade Stir. The corners of his mouth had formed a cocky grin. With her free hoof she drew another knife from her belt and stabbed Shade Stir right in the groin.

Shade Stir´s eyes widened and his face turned pale when the knife pressed into the flesh between his legs. His grip on the knife under his chin loosened.

“It´s a dangerous game alright.” Heartbreaker said and pressed the knife through his jaw and twisted the knife between his legs. “And you just got snake eyes.” A jolt of pain spread from Heartbreaker´s chest. She let go of both of the knifes and put a hoof against her chest. Every time her heart beat she felt an electric wave of pain spreading from her barrel.

Shade Stir fell to the ground. Pools of blood spread from his jaw and his groin. He managed to get the knife from his under jaw out but the knife between his legs just tore of more flesh as he moved. Above him he could see Heartbreaker struggling to breath. He spat a mixture of saliva and blood that smattered on her back. “Kill her!” He shouted with gargled voice.

Two stallion came charging over the beach’s hill.

“Hammerhead!” Heartbreaker yelled.

A massive, brawny unicorn with shattered horn on his head came galloping over the hill. His purple eyes filled with rage, his hooves spreading clouds of sand and snow. He reached the stallions before they were even halfway to Heartbreaker. With one sweep of his hoof the first stallion was pummeled into the ground sand, bones in his muzzle cracked at the impact.

The second stallion rammed his hoof into Hammerhead´s side.

The massive stallion showed no signs of pain on the impact. He grabbed the stallion with the broken muzzle by the neck and flung him around like a ragdoll. Hammerhead lifted the stallion above his head and, with the entire weight of his body the behind him, he slammed him headfirst onto the remaining stallion.

Both their skulls crushed each other on impact and bits of pink brain along fragments of shattered bones over spread the white beach.

“Heartbreaker?” Hammerhead said with a concerned tone. He ran up to her and put a hoof that was as thick as a log on her shoulder. “You okay?”

She meet Hammerhead´s soft gaze with her blue eyes. The giant was on the verge of crying with fear. “I´ll be alright.”

“You fucking bitch.” Said Shade Stir with a voice that was barely managing to form words over the blood spreading from his mouth. “When that bitch comes she´s gonna-”

The dying stallion was interrupted by a hoof the size of a log that came ramming down onto his face. Blood dripped slowly from the hoof as Hammerhead pulled it back to put it under Heartbreaker´s chin.

She smiled and stroked his cheek. “Don´t worry. Just give me a minute.” Heartbreaker took a few slow breaths and felt her heart beating slower with each one. “I´ll be alright.”

“Don´t scare like me.” The massive stallion said, sniffing.

Heartbreaker couldn´t help but release a small chuckle. “Don´t scare me like that.” She laughed before pulling her hoof around his neck and pulling him in for a soft kiss on lips. “Goof.”
