The Fall of Cloud

Was it that dream I had that was making me angry, no it couldn't have been. Outside the compound was the exact same as the simulation I flew up and took the symbol off the sign kicking it down to the ground, I also tore it off my saddlebag leaving a white tear on my leather bag, I started my way to Las Pegasus. Cloud get your ass back to the compound, I heard Snow Piercer say in the back of my mind, no I won't go back there till I actually kill somepony that I'm supposed to. I made it to Las Pegasus and got the same room I had during the simulation. I wasn't fucking around this time, I tore off part of the pillowcase into the shape of a rugged black bandana and tied it around my muzzle. I guzzled down the purple liquid gaining my horn but not passing out this time. I put the bandana in my bag as well as my two pistols and started out of the door with my map floating in front of me. "We told you to get back to the compound" NightShade said landing in front of me in the middle of the street. "Hey asshole did ya hear me" she said following behind me "I heard you, I just don't like our son for some reason, so I'm not gonna come back to the compound." I said trying not to stare at her "that's idiotic, he loves you" she said "hah that's a great fuckin lie" I said. "Do you wanna get a few drinks? She said, I moved my head toward her "yeah, I would love that, but you can't" I said "why the hell not?" She asked, my horn glowed and a syringe injected her in the back of the neck. "You'll be paralyzed for about two hours, I'll see ya later" I said walking away, I turned back but she was gone. Maybe she was never there, maybe I didn't inject enough into her neck. I continued walking, I was going to kill Filthy Rich this time because there was no Trixie this time to stop me. The casino had a guard out front of it, I had to distract him somehow. There was a stand selling sweets across the way from the casino I floated one into the mouth of the sales pony and he started choking. "Oh my Celestia does anypony know cpr?" I screamed, and as I thought the guard came rushing over and started pounding his hooves on the stallion. The inside of the casino was too smokey for my taste, I could barely see my own hoof in front of my face. Cigars and ash trays littered the casino slot machines made noise, I walked up to the bar "I'm looking for Filthy Rich, have ya seen him?" I asked the bartender cleaning out some glasses. "He's in the back, private poker" he said setting down the glass "great, could I get a glass of whiskey?" I asked "hell no, we don't serve your kind, no blank flanks" he snapped. "Ugh fine" I levitated a knife out of my bag and slit his throat, maybe all the smoke was a good thing. I made myself a drink and chugged it down, I put a sign on the counter that said "on break" on it. I tied the bandana I made around my muzzle, one so I wouldn't be recognized by anypony, and two so I could breathe. I headed to the back of the casino, I saw Filthy rich walk past me into the bathroom. I could do this and not have anypony know, I followed him. He went into a stall, I stood out in front of the stall he entered with my pistol ready, the stall door opened and filled his muzzle with lead. It wasn't him, "fuck, I fucked this up damn it" I yelled slamming the stall door closed, I thought of another idea, I threw the stallions vest it on as well as the chip dispenser making sure I got off all the blood. I locked the bathroom door and headed down the hall "hello boys I'm your croupier for tonight" I said sitting down at the round table. "Hey what happened to the other guy?" Somepony said sounding Italian "he's on break" I said dealing out cards and chips. Beer bottles were littering the floor they all were blind drunk "hah straight" yelled the Italian pony "listen here mister I got a full house" said Filthy Rich as he pulled in all the chips "damn it" yelled the Italian. "I could kill you for that" the Italian yelled "now calm down your actin like a foal" Filthy Rich said as the Italian pulled out his pistol and tried to shoot Filthy Rich "huh ya gotta have better aim than that to kill me"

"well I wasn't trying to kill you, I'm trying to kill him." He said levitating the gun in front of my face, he fired an missed my head by a mile "ah shit" he yelled as I pulled out my gun and shot him thrice in the neck. "Kill the bastard" Rich yelled as I hovered all the guns in the room toward him and his men. "That's gonna be pretty hard to do when I have the upper hoof" I said "alright what do ya want" he asked me "well, what do I want... I guess I want to not hate my son but ya know it's just one of those things all dads gotta do" I said filling the two poker ponies that hasn't said a word with lead. "Now what to do with you, maybe make it so you don't have children, or maybe have a few drinks with ya and become a crime lord like yourself... or maybe" I filled the fucker full of lead and heard a mare scream, the table lifted and Spoiled Milk ran out from under it. I grabbed her in a red glow "see I can't have you around because, heh well ya know" I started choking her and levitated my pistol into her muzzle. "Tell Filthy Rich I said good riddance" I said pulling the trigger, I removed the getup I was wearing and threw it down. I grabbed all the chips and shoved them in my saddlebags, I walked out of the casino and made it to my hotel, I drank the wing potion, NightShade wasn't with me nor was Snow Piercer so I had to "entertain" myself the old fashioned way, my wings felt so much more different than NightShade or Snow Piercer, night one alone without some other pony in my bed was actually very roomy.
