The King Mob of Manehattan

After me and Bullet Count decided it was official, and that we will actually create a gang of our own, we named it The Hellbringers. Very fitting if you ask me. My newfound friend Bullet Count had many friends, and said that many of them would probably join. He has friends of all kind, unicorn, pegasi, griffons, earth ponies, and even diamond dogs. He gave me a potion to use that would turn me into a pony. He also took some of my hair and put it in a cauldron, saying it will turn me back to human whenever I feel like it. I will be the first to admit, I looked cool as a pony. I had red fur and yellow hair, with a few black stripes at the tips, styled the way my normal hair is. I was a pegasi, and my cutie mark had a target with bullet holes in it. It was weird at first, stumbling around. Surprisingly, I even had pony clothes. My dark red fedora matches with my black suit jacket with a red collared shirt underneath. I didn't have a tie on, but it was debated it. My pants were my black and grey striped suit pants. Bullet Count had a black leathery jacket that went well with his feathers, and also had two holes for his wings. He looks at me questioningly as he gets out a crate of weapons. "How long have you been in the business before you got here?" He asks curiously.

"About six years," I said. He nods, and continues sorting out weapons. "Did you ever do this?" I ask. He shakes his head.

"No, but I have an idea. I have some friends willing to join and help us," he said. I nodded and got out a pistol. I don't know how I do it, but I'm able to shoot when I want to. I also strap a shotgun to my back, fixed to not bother my wings. I slip on wing gloves to hide the color of my feathers. I loaded everything up and made sure that my eyes couldn't be seen.

"I'm a little rusty, so don't think I'm perfect okay?" I'm ask. He nods smirking. We head out in a carriage with one pony and one griffon in the back, ready for action. We all had an earpiece to communicate. The plan is to look around the store and marking what is and isn't valuable. We use a certain magic to mark it, and it is only visible to us. We decided to take as much as we can in three minutes. The store we are robbing is a jewelry store that has slow days like today. We pull up and the two companions in the back nod, meaning they're ready when we are. Me and Bullet Count get out, looking around the store.

"Hello! How can I help you today?" A mare asks behind the counter. She has a dark red coat and a lighter red mane. Her eyes were green like a leaf.

"Just looking around," I said. She nods. I look at her desk quickly and notice that everything is neat and in order. I almost assumed she's a neat freak until I noticed everything is either polished hurriedly or waxed to be shiny. "Are you new here?" I ask. She looks at me surprised and nods. I picked up observance while I was on Earth, so that way I could be able to tell how much time we had to get out, or to make the job easier. Right now, it's both. I notice that she kept looking down at the laptop in front of her.

"Yes, I just started today, and I'm still trying to get around. Sadly, I'm short staffed today," she said. I smile and nodded. I nudged Bullet and motioned him to check the back. I walk over to the mare to distract her.

"Did they all take a holiday or something?" I asked, eyebrow raised. She looks up and smiles sadly.

"Yeah, they thought I was able to handle myself here, and they were definitely right. Things have been really slow," she said. I nodded.

"Anon, there's something you should see," said Bullet's voice through the ear piece.

"Oh, by the way, what is your name?" The mare asks. I felt my mind scream in realization. I forgot to have a code name. I smiled calmly before saying the first name that came to mind.

"Fire Shot," I said quickly. She smiles. "But, most of my friends call me Shot."

"Anon get over here," Bullet said. I quickly thought of an excuse and hunched over a little.

"Oh man, I gotta go to the bathroom, I didn't think that flamethrower grass was serious," I said. I galloped quickly to the back, as the entrance was next to the bathroom. It would look like I did go. I got to the back and saw Bullet, staring at something. "What did you find?" I ask.

"Information about that mare," he said. I look at where he's looking to find that three ponies were tied up. That means we aren't the only ones robbing this store. I pull out my pistol with my wing and galloped to the desk to see the mare starting to leave. I hide the pistol under my wing and smiled.

"Hey, I didn't quite catch your name," I said. She jumps and looks back smiling.

"Sorry, I must go now, work just ended," she said quickly.

"This store just opened though," I replied. She paused. She turns around, smiling nervously. I noted myself that she is an earth pony, and yet she doesn't have any weapons. "Oh well, even thieves slip once or twice," I said. She smirked.

"What makes you think you can stop me?" She asks. I pull out my pistol with an unamused look. She has a surprised look and growls. Before she made a break for it, I shot her leg. She cried out and stumbled. Billet Count looks at my gun and sees a silencer.

"Why did you bring a silencer?" He asks.

"Just in case," I said. He shakes his head. He walks over to the mare and picks her up.

"We're taking a road trip," he said. I signaled the others to put on silencers and come in the store. They got all they could and I got some as well. Bullet Count had the mare in custody. We all got in the carriage, but me and the mare and one of Bullet's friends in the back. I helped the mare's leg up and she looks at me quizzically.

"You shot me," she said. I nodded. "You didn't kill me," she continued. I nodded again. "Why are you healing me?" She asks. I sighed.

"Because I'm not the usual gangster douchebag," I said.

"Yet, you planned to rob a store?" She asks. I nodded. Silence ensues for a few minutes. "My name is Ruby by the way," she said. I smiled and tipped my hat to her. Bullet Count pulls up at the warehouse we decided to use as our kind of base. It's where the people in our gang either live or wait for missions. Ruby looks around. "So, you have a gang?" She asks. I nodded.

"We're called the Hellbringers," I said. She nods.

"Nice name," she comments. Then, the phone in her bag she was carrying rang. I got it out. "Don't answer that!" She said. I did the opposite and leaned in.

"Hello?" I ask.

"Hey, you're not our sis! Where is she?!" Yelled a young voice. I paused for a moment.

"Ruby? She's fine, just training at the gun range," I said. "She gave me her phone, saying that if this number called I should pick up. Right now your sister is doing quite well," I said. A pause was heard on the other line.

"Can I talk to her?" The young voice asked.

"Sure, give me a sec," I said. I look at Ruby. "It's your sister," I said. Bullet Count looks at me worriedly. "Don't worry, we don't know where she lives and we don't know her sisters name," I said. I gave the phone to Ruby and she looks at me. I see the look of someone thinking on wether or not to tell someone they need help, or if they're fine. She seems to come to a conclusion and nods.

"Hi? Gemmy is that you?" She asks. "Yes, I'm at a gun range. Are you done doing homework?" She asks. I sighed in relief the same time as Bullet Count. "No, everything is fine," she says. "Okay, I love ya too you little dweeb," she finishes before hanging up. I smiled.

"It's the least I can do for you since you fixed me up," she said. I nod at Bullet Count to let go. Ruby looks around the warehouse, seeing many different species.

"I'm Bullet Count, co-founder of Hellbringers," he said in a gentleman way. He bowed slightly, and I know exactly what he's doing.

"My, what a gentlecolt, and a griffon too!" Ruby exclaimed. I shook my head, knowing what is going on.

"Would you like a ride home?" Bullet asks. Ruby blushes a little, nodding. I wave him bye as he leaves, and I go off to get my human serum.

I arrive back at my apartment and look at my account to see I had two to five thousand dollars transferred to me and Bullet's account. I heard a knock on the door and headed over to open it. I open it to see a surprised Rainbow Dash. "Hey Rainbow Dash," I said. She rushes upwards and hugs me.

"Where were you knucklehead?" She asks. I sighed.

"What's wrong?" I ask. She punches my stomachs, but I barely feel it.

"You scared me badly!" She said. "You weren't here when I was here, and you didn't return my calls! Luckily I decided to check back here again before going to the police!" She exclaimed. I sighed sadly.

"I'm sorry Rainbow, I forgot. I went shopping today and couldn't really find too much," I said. She sniffles into my chest and I sighed. I have to be more careful next time. I don't want to let her know I'm a gangster and that she's a target. After she stayed for a visit, she left and I went to my computer. Alvin gave me a message. "You will have two separate page, five thousand by tomorrow, and five thousand the next Tuesday."

"I groan. I look at my personal account to see five thousand in my savings. I noted myself that I owe Bullet Count. I went to sleep that night after I gave Alvin the money through email. I wish I didn't have to have a nightmare of what happened had I didn't.
