The following day Silvers awoke to see that his mare friend was gone and that there was a note left on a nearby table. Seeing the note he reached down to grab it and saw that it was Moondancer’s handwriting.

Hey ran into the city to see if I can find some old friends and get some more info about this place. Also, Maverick called and said he wanted you to meet him at the park downtown, something about a ‘publicity tour’ or some shit like that. Idk about him sometimes and think he lets the popularity get to him. Just be careful cause Cadence’s crew is all over the place here, looks like she’s got her claws in a lot more than we initially thought. Have fun and love you, M.D

Smiling, he set the note back down and went and got dressed from some clothes in the closet. Looking at the sparse selection Silver grumbled a little and grabbed a t-shirt and a pair of torn jeans and left the apartment. Looking around he noticed a four-door sedan parked in the garage connected to the building and a set of keys hanging on a wall hook. Sensing that Moondancer left the car for him, he grabbed the keys and got in the car, and started the engine. As he pulled out of the garage he heard a ping coming from the dashboard, and saw a GPS system planning a route downtown. ‘Yep, definitely for me’ Silver thought as he drove down the road, following the route on screen and driving onto an overpass. Following the road for a few minutes, SIlver took an off-ramp going down and turning onto a main street heading south of the city. Passing a mix of small buildings and stores to large highrises and skyscrapers he eventually came upon a walled-off area. The park itself was a large area of grass with some trees, small hills, and a small pond with a bridge going over it.

Parking in an empty lot on the side of the area, Silver sat outside the car and waited for his zebra friend to arrive. Soon though Maverick arrived in a taxi cab and walked up towards his boss and friend. “What? Too cheap to get your own car?” Silver said as he grabbed Maverick's hand and gave him a quick hug. “Heh, fuck no. Just wanted to use public transport once in and a while. Helps you think and take note of your surroundings.” Maverick said as the duo got in the car. As Silver started the car, Maverick typed some numbers into the car's GPS system and set a new route for the car to follow. Leaving the lot and turning out of the park the two drove towards the destination while the two chatted along the way. “So…….why exactly are we setting up shop in the C.E boss? Doesn’t really seem like a place we would want to go to.” Maverick said as he looked out his window.

“Not really simple this time. We’re doing a favor for an old…..acquaintance of mine. Somepony Olly and I used to run with back in the day.” Silvers said as he turned down another street. Maverick chuckled as he messed with the radio “Didn’t think we did favors for ponies…..say what was Olly like back then?” Silver gave a small chuckle as he came to a red light. “Well, he was a lot calmer back in the day when I joined up. Back then we would just go around and cause chaos against other crews taking the city one district at a time. After the whole ‘explosion’ incident he was the first one to help bring the crew back to what it is now. At first, he was very friendly to others, long you don’t piss him off, but after what happened with……he changed from then. He was a lot quieter and had a bigger amount of bloodlust till we took down the bastards that hurt him, he calmed down but still had the bloodlust.”
“What did he do to them?” Maverick said as they neared the location on the GPS. “Well, it was a rival gang leader's son, some weak ass pegasus named Sogun whose ego was bigger than his brain. We had a funeral set up for the public view but the little shit showed up with some of his crew to take us out. Guess he didn’t realize how much he pissed us off cause we took out everyone he sent to us, well Olly more than me. When he tried to make a run for it I took the prick off his bike and dragged him back to Olly. Fuck he was beyond pissed when I brought him back…”

Years Ago….

“Where are you taking me?! Let me go!” Shogun shouted as Silver dragged him towards Hellfire as he stood by the casket. Responding SIlver let go of his neck only for Oliver to punch him straight in the jaw, knocking him to the ground. “Get up,” Hellfire said coldly standing over him. Grunting, Shogun stood up and took a swing at the griffon, only for his arm to be grabbed and sharply snapped as Hellfire broke it. The pegasus let out a scream only for Oliver to sucker punch him again, sending him back onto the ground. “Get up.” Hellfire again said coldly. Shogun tried to crawl away only for Silver to grab him and pick them up, only to push him back towards the pissed-off griffon. Desperately, the pegasus gave a weak swing that grazed the griffon's cheek, only to receive a hard punch straight to the muzzle knocking him down. “Get up,” Hellfire said as Shogun rolled over and braced himself against a tombstone. “Please…” he said with blood covering his lower face “I’m Sorry…..” Oliver just grunted as he stood over him “Not so tough now when the ones your attacking aren’t tied to fucking chairs huh?”

“I DIDN’T KILL THEM!!” Shogun screamed at his towering assailant, meeting Hellfire’s gaze as lightning flashed behind him. “You ordered it…..” Oliver responded, then suddenly swung with all his strength hitting Shogun right on his cheek and shattering the tombstone behind him. The young wannabe gang leader coughed up blood as he tried to get on his hands and knees, only to feel a strong talon grab the back of his neck. “You couldn’t even give them a proper funeral you piece of shit!” Oliver said dragging the weaker towards the casket. Dropping him and walking to the front of the casket, Hellfire tipped the box causing the lid to open and causing a random pony body to roll out. Realizing what was about to happen Shogun tried to plead for mercy, only for the griffon to throw him into the box and slammed the lid shut locking it. As Shogun screamed for a quick death, Silver and Oliver shared a look and lowered the casket into the deep hole, and started covering it with dirt.

Present Day….

“Fuck, man. That shit is fucking brutal.” Maverick said as they stood outside, reaching their destination partially through the story. The two stood outside a large red building with a row of large garage doors on the front and a smaller front office connected to the front. The car the two drove currently in one of the open bays being worked on by the building's mechanic while various car parts floated in their magic aura. “Yeah,” Silver said as he drank a soda he got earlier “Bet the little fucker screamed till his last breath. But after that, we soon took down his father when he attacked a kirin heritage festival. By the way, if somepony offers you a bottle of Kirin Beer….don’t drink it. Nearly learned that the hard way.” The two chuckled a little as they waited for the car to be completed. “A’ight I’m bored. Let’s go get you some new threads boss.” Maverick said as he eyed Silvers's clothes. The earth pony looked at the zebra, the mechanic currently mounting a bumper with a paint sprayer in their magic, then back at the zebra. “Uhhh……the car?” Silver said pointing back towards the garage. Before Maverick could respond though a newer sports car barreled by and screeched to a halt, nearly running the two over. As the two were about to walk to the car a unicorn stepped out of the car and walked past the two into the office and started yelling at the mare behind the desk. Irritated, the two walked into the office as the unicorn complained about how his car was missing an air freshener, only to be grabbed by his shoulders and slammed face-first into the concrete wall, going unconscious and falling to the floor. “Prick” Silver said as he grabbed the pony car keys and then turned to the mare behind the desk. “We’ll have somepony get him out of here, think you can have the car in bay 3 delivered to this address?” Silver said as he wrote down the apartment's address on a piece of paper. Taking the paper the mare nodded and gave a small “Thank You” as the two walked out the door, stepping over the knocked-out asshole on the floor. “Gotta say, he has some good taste,” Maverick said as the two got into the car. “Yeah,” Silver said as he started the car “Now he had good taste.”

Stepping on the gas pedal, the car lurched forward leaving a small cloud of tire smoke as the duo sped off. “How bout some music? Head for one of our stores on Southside.” Maverick said as he fiddled with the radio. After going through some music channels he eventually came upon one that was playing a familiar song. “No fucking way,” Silvers said as he look at his friend “They got fucking Afrostallion? Fuck yeah.” The two nodded to the music till the main chorus started, which caused the two to start signing.

“Said Colt 45 and two zig zags, Baby that’s all we need. We can go to the park, after dark, smoke that tumbleweed.”

Author's Note

Yes, I am attempting to continue this story and get back into writing. Literally made this chapter cause some big ice storm canceled work so been typing this off of cans of Dr. Pepper and Afroman on repeat. Very sorry for the years delay but my personal life, employment, and MAJOR lack of interest in writing kinda caused it. Hopefully, I can slowly come back.
