After a short drive and an impromptu singing later the duo eventually reached the Southside of the Crystal Empire, a mixture of industrial districts and lower middle class suburbs. Driving down the main road towards the middle of the district they eventually came to a stop in front of a clothing store. The outer exterior was a mix of pink, white, and purple while three fleur de lis signs stood above the doorway, the words “House of Fleur” written in fancy lettering underneath.

“Well here we are boss, shall we go in?” Maverick said as he stepped out of the car. Silver gave a quick nod as the two walked to the door where a petite mare in a form-fitting blouse and fleur jacket opened the door for them, not knowing two occupants in a nearby sedan were watching as one dialed a phone. “They have arrived at the clothing store. Bring what Mistress Cadence requested for a…….test run.” the pony said before hanging up the phone.

Meanwhile inside the store, Maverick walked around the store while the smaller mare was busy designing a new outfit for Silver, who was currently standing on a modeling platform next to a small corner of mirrors. The store itself was more modern inside, with dark pink walls with gold and white fleur de lis’s dotting the walls, racks of clothes lining the walls, and display cases showing clothing accessories and gang merchandise.

“I must say,” the mare said as she measured Silvers's extended arm “It’s not often I get to make an outfit for the leader of the Fleur De Lis, let alone them being in my store.” Silver gave a soft smile and a chuckle as the mare turned to look for some fabric “The pleasure is all mine Miss Pommel. If what Maverick says is true about your skill in clothing, then I should be in good hands” Coco gave s small giggle as she picked up the new vest and suit jacket and put it on Silver.

Maverick gave a long whistle as the leader checked himself out in the mirror “Damn Boss, you make that shit look good.” he said as Silver nodded in agreement. His outfit now sporting a pair of Fleur branded shoes while wearing a set of blueish purple dress pants and a lighter purple vest with gold and white accents topped with a suit jacket matching the color of his pants, the buttons being Fleur de Lis’s and a set of purple tinted aviators over his eyes.

“Yeah, your right man. Coco, I say you did a damn good job with this.” Silver said as he finished checking himself out, earning a squeal of delight and clapping from the cream mare. “Oh thank you thank you!” Coco said as she clapped her hands together “To have you say that makes me feel so happy! It is such an honor to make your outfit.” Silver smiled as he pulled out his wallet to pay, only for Coco to shoo her hands at him “No no. You don’t need to pay me. Consider it a first-time customer discount. Just make sure you promote who made your suit for you.” Coco said with a wink at the end.

Chuckling in agreement, the duo started to leave the store only to open the door and see a bunch of Cadence’s followers' cars blocking the road in both directions. The two watched in confusion as a truck backed up from the alley across the road and stop as someone hopped out of the back. The pony in question appeared to be a yellow unicorn mare with a short yellow and red mane wearing some form of metal bands on her arms and some headpiece on her head attached to her horn. Drawing their guns, Silver and Maverick prepared for a fight only to be surprised as the mare started to draw her magic into her horn and hands, then firing a large red-orange beam of magic at them.

Moving quickly the two ducked back into the store, the zebra bracing around the corner while the stallion grabbed Coco and ducked behind the counter, using himself as a shield for the smaller mare as the beam blasted into the store with a small explosion. “You okay?” Silver said as he moved up against the counter, Coco quickly scrambling up next to him as he peeked over the counter. “Yeah……thanks” the mare responded as Silver looked around. The dust and smoke of the blast now settled as the inside of the store was a mix of debris and small fires. Seeing that Maverick was okay and moving out from his spot, Silver jumped over the counter and drew his gun towards the door. “Take this you bitch!” he said as he pulled the trigger, the bullet firing out and heading towards their assailant. The bullet hit the mare on the side of the head and ricocheted off in another direction, yet she still stood upright.

“Wha….” Silver said confused before firing another shot, only to hit her square in the forehead but not stunning her as the bullet fell to her feet. Sharing a look between the two, Silver and Maverick rushed outside the store and opened fire on their enemies. Taking down a few of Cadence's goons, Maverick chuckled as he reloaded his gun only for a hand to grab his wrist. “What the fuUUUCCCKKKKK!!!!!” the zebra screamed as the mare they shot at picked him up and threw him across the road into a parked car, a decent size crater embedded into the metal and he fell to the ground. “Mav!” Silver said as he saw his friend struggle to stand back up, only to turn and see the mare now charging in his direction.

Before he could aim his gun, the mare grabbed the blue stallion by his throat. Silver saw that she was using her magic as an extension of her own physical self as she picked him up and slammed him into the ground a few times, leaving a crater in the concrete. Grunting in pain, Silver aimed his gun at the mare's head and emptied the pistol clip into her face, only for her to appear unscathed as she gut-punched him a few times before throwing him into the middle of the street. Coughing and moving to his hands and knees, Silver looked around to see if he could find anything to take down this enemy, eventually coming upon a shotgun and some grenades near a dead gang member.

‘Worth a shot’ he thought as he grabbed the weapons while Maverick stood back up and fired his gun back at the mare, earning a low growl from her as she turned and started to charge at the zebra. Bracing for whatever she was about to do, Maverick was surprised to see his best friend unload shotgun slugs into the mare's back, earning grunts of pain as she fell to her knees from the shots. Before the mare had time to react and get back up she felt something round forced into her mouth, only to realize it was a live grenade before Silver kicked her away from them as the grenade exploded completely blowing the mare's head apart.

“Finally! Let’s get the fuck out of here.” Silver said as they turned towards their car, only to see it a flaming wreck as more gang cars arrived. As the two prepared for another gunfight a car horn pierced the air as Coco waved them towards her running car. Moving fast the trio all piled into Coco’s hatchback and quickly sped away with Silver behind the wheel. “Head back to the apartment. Step on it.” Maverick said as he watched the group of gang cars all speed off. “What the fuck was up with that crazy bitch?!” Silver said as he swerved through the random traffic, earning angry honks and small “Eeps” from Coco in the passenger seat.

“I’ve never seen anyone shrug off that many bullets, let alone throw a motherfucker thirty feet and leave a decent size dent in a car, and we ain’t skinny mofos Mav.” the stallion said as they got into the highway spanning the city. “Yeah. And what the fuck was that magic?” Maverick said as he faced forward in the backseat “I have never seen any unicorn magic like that, shit that looked like it could rival even alicorn magic.”

“Agree with you on that man.” Silver said as they got off the highway and soon pulled off to the apartment. “Well, here we are. Uh sorry about your store Coco, I’ll have some of the crew come over and help clean it up.” Silver said as he and Maverick got out of the car as Coco shifted over to the driver's seat. “It’s okay, I was planning on finding a new spot to set up anyways. Plus I don’t think my insurance covers gang attacks.” the mare said as she buckled herself into the seat. The stallion gave a small nod before giving her a small calling card “If you need anything just give us a call. Alright?” the stallion said earning a small smile and nod as she took the card before driving off with a short honk of the horn.

“You know….” Maverick said as he opened the door to the building “She looked pretty damn good, think you and Moons got a chance with her?” the zebra asked earning a sigh from his friend. “Really man? You always give me and Moondancer gripe about our relationship, not to mention I only know Coco for less than an hour and that ended with her store getting trashed.” Silver pushed his friend out of the way as they started to walk up the steps to their current residence. “.......Although I’ll admit…..she did have a nice looking ass.”

Cadence groaned as she rubbed her temples, her recent report about the incident on the Southside sitting on her desk. “The Fleurs are becoming more of a fucking problem than a nuisance,” she said to herself as she checked her phone. The phone screen showed the various vitals of the Cursed Six as she watched them through the building's security cameras as they struggled and resisted all the testing she had her people do to them. “At least that’s still going to plan somewhat.” the alicorn said as she set her phone down before clicking the intercom on her desk.

“Shining Armor, my office now. I need a stress release.” She said into the speaker, earning a ‘yes ma’am’ in response before she stood up and started to take her suit off. “Shining is gonna have to fuck me senseless for this fucking headache I have to go away,” Cadence said as she took off her shirt and bra, letting her large breast free as she tossed the clothes into her. “Ugh. Gonna have to turn the heat up in here, fucking tits are cold.” the alicorn said as she removed her pants and underwear, kicking it off to the side as Shining Armor entered her office and closed the door behind him. “Shining, good you're here. Now…” Cadence said as she turned around and faced the stallion, her fully naked body on display for him “Shall we begin?”
