Back at Fynns mansion Speedy sat in the infirmary putting a ice pack on the back of his neck while nursing a beer in his hand while Fynn paced in front of him. “So……” Fynn finally said “This zebra is a old enemy of yours named Xander from the Zebra lands. He's skilled in the highest trained combat there and you believed he was dead all this time. Except he is not dead and is currently working for the enemy as a mercenary focusing on tötung anypony who gets in the way?”

“ That's about it in a nutshell” Speedy said sipping his beer “That fucker is dangerous and squirrelly. There was a reason the Zebra communism only used him when necessary. The Republic of Zebracia and the Equestrian Marines marked him as a trump card that needed to be burned. I was sure that I killed that fucker when I put a bullet into his head.” Speedy looked at the beer and clenched his hand into a fist crushing the can and threw it in rage “MOTHERFUCKER!”

Fynn went to his friend and calmed him down and sat next to him. “Don't let the past cause drama in the present. We'll get him and make him pay for his verbrechen once and for all. Der Feind stirbt nie mit Ehre.Nur durch sein Blut wird der Held Frieden bringen.”

“Please for the love of fuck stop speaking Germane for a bit please. What about Applebloom and Ruby?” Speedy said resting his forehead on his knuckles. Fynn got up and walked towards a nearby table and looked at some files left there. “Miss Ruby suffered from a broken nose and a chipped horn but she'll live. Young Bloom had multiple cuts and bruises on her face and body, no doubt High Rise. But otherwise she only suffered from shock. She's up and with her friend now.” Fynn turned around and looked at the Marine and gave him a comforting look.

“They'll be okay. You should get some rest Speedy and wait till later to get the last one. I know you want to get her ASAP but you need your rest and overworking would just hurt you and others around you. Now go back to your suite and rest.” As Speedy walked to the door Fynn gave out a light cough. “You'll be glad to know that I got in contact with young Star's family. They'll be retrieving her soon. I've also taken consideration and decided to raise young Ruby as my daughter. The local Polizei were willing to let me since my reputation and all the work we have done with them. You should be proud Speedy.” Speedy gave Fynn a smile and left as the Germane stallion continued his work.

As Speedy entered his room he was tackled into a hug by Scootaloo and Applebloom and landed on the floor. “Thank you so much for bring back Applebloom Speedy!” Scootaloo said as he hugged her blue hero. “Ya. Thanks again mister for savin us.” Applebloom said as he hugged tighter. Speedy's face turned a darker blue to the strong fillies bear hug and pushed at their sides. “Girls…… can't breathe…… bruised ribs……..” The two caught on and let go causing Speedy to cough a few times. “You two are welcome. Just doing my civic duty of killing and maiming rapists and saving young fillies.” which caused the two to roll their eyes before tackling Speedy in a hug again.

Meanwhile

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'S DEAD?!”

“First off: do that again and I'll strangle you with your own tongue. Second: he is dead. You really can't survive a forty five caliber bullet to the brain and a seventy foot drop to the concrete.” Xander said rubbing his temples. Since their confrontation Xander escaped and returned to the Rise mansion and stole some of the weapons, High Rises orange McLaren P1, and is currently driving out of Vanhoover. The portly stallion on the other end of the call was red with fury upon discovering his clients and businesses are dropping like flies.

“Look. You have one more chance to redeem yourself Xander. Aldo recently got a large amount of money from his…...ugh…..onion farm and is currently en route to Las Pegasus to gamble it. You will protect him at all costs and his little bitch and daughter. He'll have his other bird friends with him so they'll help out as much as they can but don't trust them. If you fail this you won't be paid and your little revenge plot will be nothing but fantasy.” The call went silent as Xander groaned in annoyance.

“I hate my job.”

Back in Vanhoover

“His name is Aldo and reins from south Griffonstone. Your plan to buy out his land has worked and as of now he's on his way to Las Pegasus to gamble it. Luckily our inside man Godot has let us know that he is staying at my casino and that young Sweetie Belle has a daughter named Melody. I can have the staff keep us updated and if possible rig the games to make him lose everything. Also I'm upgrading your weapons and giving you a new car. That Roadrunner costed me a quarter million Speedy.” Fynn said as the duo walked to the underground armory.

The armory itself was a large bunker containing anything ranging from guns and missiles to special military vehicles and a mobile operations semi. The semi itself was a armored Freightliner while the trailer contained housing accommodations and a weapon, armor and vehicle workshop. Through the back door the two saw Speedy's Charger currently in parts while the workers fixed tue parts and added new ones. “The Python please.” Fynn said reaching out his hand to Speedy. Speedy upholstered his Colt and gave it to Fynn, who gave it to a worker who walked away.

“I'm giving you two powerful hand cannons to keep on you at all times. A Smith and Wesson five hundred revolver and a Desert Eagle semi automatic pistol. Both are fifty caliber handguns meant for destruction. Also we have a reserve of explosive tipped bullets in the glovebox of your current car.” Fynn said giving the revolver and pistol to Speedy and walked to the vehicle storage area. Fynn stopped in front of a supercharged white 1968 Pontiac Firebird. “Please for Faust sake not wreak this one. Also young Applebloom will be accompanying you in Las Pegasus. Las Pegasus Days is this weekend and I'm planning on hosting a party that day. That will be your only chance to get rid of Aldo and retrieve young Belle and her child.”

Speedy nodded as he took the keys for the hot rod and put them in his pocket. “Now go get some sleep. Your leaving with young Bloom after breakfast tomorrow.” Fynn said pushing Speedy away. After a few minutes of walking Speedy returned to his suite to see Scootaloo and Applebloom sleeping in his bed. As Speedy grabbed a blanket and prepared to sleep on the couch Applebloom woke up and spoke quietly to him. “Scoots and I wanted y'all to sleep with us. It makes us feel safe that your here with us. Plus Fynn said we'll be posing as a fancy young couple so might as well fit the part.” she said half joking the last bit. Speedy thought about it and decided to share the bed with the two. Soon all three were in the queen size bed with Speedy in the middle of the two while they cuddled up next to him.

“Two down. One to go…..”
