Twilight Sparkle, newly minted alicorn Princess of Equestria, has been slain in her sleep by four of her own bodyguards who were on the payroll of Traditionalists who were against the reforms Twilight was attempting to bring about. Reforms that would've seen the power and influence of several Nobles houses had had for centuries stripped away as the common folk were allowed to have a say in the Equestrian Parliament and were allowed to marry non-ponies. As a result, tensions between the Progressives who supported Twilight and the Traditionalists have become increasingly strained and are dangerously close to the breaking point.

But now, it’s the Traditionalists who are dying.  Strange projectiles that seem to have been custom-made and launched at high speeds have been found in many a victim, along with their necks snapped and bones broken. Some have stab wounds from a knife of unknown origin, and even shuriken embedded in their chest. The only description any survivors, who had been tortured in such unbearable cruel ways and branded with some kind of bat, can give is that the killer was "a man in a red mask with a hood." Before long, all of Equestria is asking one question: who is the stallion under the Red Hood?

Now, follow the journey of Jason Todd, alias The Red Hood, stranded in this world forevermore following a botched contract as he hunts down the Traditionalists and assembles a new team of Outlaws from the beings in this world All in all, one thing is for sure.

This is going to be a terrible waste of bullets.

Contains Red Hood x Gilda, implied Flashlight, one-sided Twijack, and eventual Spike X Starlight Glimmer. Rated M because blood and violence.
