The King Mob of Manehattan
Chapter 20: Final Steps
Previous ChapterNext ChapterBullet Count helps me up, as I wipe my tears of pain away like a three year old. "You're right, that does hurt," I say weakly. He nods with a humph.
"Yeah it does, now come on," he says. I nod, wincing as I look at me wings. "They'll be fine Fire," he says. I nod.
Hell has been set loose, cannons of the fortress/castle are set off, artillery from my guys are going off. Machine guns are to be posted as soon as we break down the door. For the most part, the queen did not look happy. She's looking down at me, scoldingly. I smirked at her expression and held up one of my feathers at her. Bullet Count looks at my wing. "... Wrong feather," he says simply and continues directing fire. I look at my wing and groan. I adjust it a little and earned a gasp from the doppelgänger princess. "I think she realizes you're not controlled anymore," Bullet says. I nod.
"Oh yeah, now I'm pissed. I got scared, thrown into garbage, got mind controlled, hallucinated, and had my wing shot at, IN THE SAME FREAKING DAY!!!" I start yelling. My comrades start going at a faster pace at my raising voice. "Oh yeah, I want some sweet ass revenge," I say. I hear the sound of triumph as the gate finally crashes down, providing a nice path. "Onwards my friends! We're going to do some good for once!" I scream, getting cheers all around. Machine guns are promptly posted, fending off the spear-wielding guards with ease. The anti-magic spell seems to work for the most part. I get out a magnum and start shooting rapidly. I keep getting kills, guards that turned out to be changelings run away in fright. I smile almost insanely at all the chaos. I quickly charge into the throne room, finding Queen Chrysalis on the throne, giving orders to drones.
"... And make sure he DOES NOT come in HERE! Remember, he's only a pony-" She turns to me and stops.
"Gel, I'm only one pony. Though, you gotta admit, I have some kick-ass style am I right?" I ask. The drones hiss at me, earning a head shot each. "We honestly could have had a thing going on for us Chrysy, but you proved stupid. One, I have a co-founder who knows me well, two, no real back up plan for if I break out of your trance. Then, this one messed ya up big time, three, I had everything you planned, mapped out in my head since you gave the instruction when I was controlled," I say. Chrysalis scoffs.
"Petty pony, you are not as smart as you think you are," she grins maliciously and throws a vial at me. It breaks on impact, covering me with a green liquid. I stare at it for a few moments.
"... What is this? Your saliva? Was it supposed to be acid or-"
"How are you not affected?! Aren't you alive?! Aren't you a pony?!" She yells. I scoff.
"Not exactly, I was not originally a pony," I say. Chrysalis gasps, backing up, only to hit the throne.
"W-What are you?" She asks in fear. I chuckle as Bullet Count walks in.
"I guess you could say I'm the Devil, bitch," I say, ending the sentence with a shot from my gun. Her body slumps to the floor, green goo staining the carpet. "... That was way too easy," I say. Bullet nods.
"That's right master," he says. I sigh and shoot the fake Bullet's head. The real Bullet Count walks in.
"I hate changelings," he says, shooting the dead body again for good measure. Muffled cries sounded in the room. I hear thumping from the throne and shoved Chrysalis' body off. I pushed the oversized chair to see a concealed door in the floor. I unlock it and open, seeing a thin, dirty and pitiful version of what seems to be Celestia, reaching out to knock on a door, gasping at the new faces. I pull her out and she hugs me, crying for the release of her imprisonment. Bullet gives me a worried look. I nod. I start stroking her mane, shushing her, hopefully calming her down. She doesn't really calm down, though she does cry some more.
After a month, I was found in a store LEGALLY buying stuff. I was brought in to the newly built Canterlot Castle, to a room bigger than my apartment. I was sat across from the most powerful made in Equestria. She sips her tea, although very shakily. I cleared my throat in awkwardness. She looks up at me and smiles.
"Sorry, Fire Shot was it? I um..." She falls silent, trying to pick the right words. "... This is funny, I was kept in a room some ponies used for an outhouse, by an insane mare who didn't know what to actually do, and I'm wanting to personally thank the most wanted criminal in all of Equestria for my rescue."
"... If it makes you feel better, I did take back the castle for good intentions," I say. She giggles softly. She stares at me, having a knowing look.
"... I think I heard you say you weren't a pony, correct?" She asks. I sighed. Nodding, I took a sip of tea. She takes a sip too. "... Who are you really Fire Shof?" She asks. I sat silently. I take out a vial of my own making, uncorked it and took a sip. The familiar modeling of my body morphs back into human. Although I change back everyday, I never get used to it. Celestia simply stares at me. Then it clicked. "... Anon? Why are you like this?" She asks. I sighed, my clothes also morphing to fit me thanks to a few spells.
"It's also funny for me too ya know? I was always wishing to get away from my old life, start fresh as a decent person... Yet here I am, happy with how rotten I actually am... I don't want to pull the plug... I don't want to go back to being normal... What started as simple revenge turned into... This!" I say, using my hands to gesture all of myself. "Now I run a mob that's the most dangerous organization in Equestria... I have to tell Rainbow all this soon though, she's getting an idea of what I'm like, but it's off. At first she joked about it, but as soon as I even mention anything related to mobs, she shuts up like I slapped her or something... It's not easy for me, and I know it's not easy for her either... I just hope I can make it right somehow..." Silence lingers on, Celestia taking another shaky sip of tea, I'm just taking a nibble of cake.
