I walked down the streets of ponyville, heading for the train station. I have the rifle on my back with a bag of ammo on my side. I bought a ticket earlier in the day for the last train going to canterlot. I was mad at myself for not acting when I knew what was coming, and I did nothing to stop them. I can't bring Granny back, but I can kill everyone who was part of her death. I got on the train sitting al the way in the back. I looked around when five large stallions walked in behind me, and I knew something was going on when I noticed hidden guns in their coats. I pulled my knife out when one was getting too close. They all sat three seats away from me, and then one jumped from his seat, drawing his gun as he turned. I pulled my arm back then threw my knife into his forearm. It went through his arm, then dropped the weapon as I drew my left 44 then shot the farthest stallion in the chest. The closest one tried to grab me, but I grabbed his throat then slammed his head into the wall then put my gun to his gut then put two rounds through his body. I pulled then the body in front of me, blocking rounds from remaining guards. I heard the empty clicks then dropped the now hole filled body then pulled the hammers back.

"BUCK!"

"I'M OUT!"

"WERE BUCKED!"

I shot two of them in the head and the last one in his leg. He fell to the floor of the cart blood coming from his leg. "So?”

"W-we were hired to capture or wound you!"

I smiled as I lowered my weapon then pulled out a box of medical supplies. I dropped it on his chest, then started to walk to the next cart. "So how many are left?"

"Twenty all spread out through the train."

I smiled as I opened the door to the next cart the four occupants already having weapons drawn. "Haha, your all dead." They fired, but I ducked behind a bench then stood when two of them emptied the guns. I shot the two still with ammo then shot to two without ammo as they tried to reload. Two hours went by as I gunned them all down only leaving the one I left in the far back. I saw in the front car of the train loading a few more rounds into the rifle.

“We are arriving at Canterlot station.”

I smiled as I got off the train into an empty station. I looked up at the engine then walked up to see where someone could get me from behind. Nothing on the other side then I drew my guns before I walked out of the station. I was here to find out why they killed granny to know why no of these ponies were asking about it or questioned it. While I walked, I noticed there were no guards, no one, in fact, was around then I stopped when I stood in front of the castle. I holstered my guns as I started to run then jumped as I got close to the wall. I jumped over the wall holding my hat as I flew over the wall. The grounds were unguarded, and I couldn’t hear anyone moving. I was getting worried waiting for something as I drew my pistols again. I started to run it the doors and found them locked. ‘At least that normal, maybe all the guards are inside the castle.’ I slowly started to move around the castle, looking for a lease obvious. As I walked, I started to heard voices coming from a window.

“Captain, why aren’t we just taking up arms and taking jack from the farm. I know he’s tough, but even he can’t take a hundred guards.”

I pulled my hammers back then looked into the window and saw two guards. I smiled as I smashed the window then jumped through the flying glass scaring the guards. I slammed my hoofs into the faces of the two guards knocking them both out cold. I holstered my guards then grabbed both the guards then pulled a rope from into my bag then tied them up. I threw them in a closet and locked the room as I started to walk around the halls. I dodged guards as I moved around. After a little while and ten guards knocked out guards, I found a broad set of golden doors. “Celestia…” I opened the door slowly and saw her sitting on her bed, looking at the door as it waiting for me. She was in a white dress with a red stain over her legs.

“About time, the train guards told me you were coming.”

I holstered my guns then walked into the room. I closed the door behind me then leaned on it. “Tell me why, now!” She looked at me, then sighed.

“That bullet wasn’t meant for Granny smith. It was meant to wound Applejack or Mac not kill granny. I wanted to get you off the farm so we could catch you off guard.”

I nodded, then drew my guns as she looked at me. “Now, why aren’t any of the ponies in town asking about what happened?” She looked away from me then sighed as she looked up at me.

“Luna used her dream magic to make everypony think she died of old age so we could save face. We couldn’t risk that as we are the face of Equestria, we can’t have our ponies thinking we’re heartless killers.”

I narrowed my eyes as I looked at her waiting for her to make some move. Then I noticed it my guns are covered in the black energy. She looked at me, scared as she tried to move. But, she grabbed her leg, and I knew my bullet hit better then the blood let on. “Huff, your not worth the bullet neither is your sister.” The black energy faded, and I holstered my guns as I looked at her. “Keep away from my mare and her family.” A snarled formed on her face as I looked at her.

“You don’t get it do you!?”

I looked at her then sighed as I looked at her. “I do, but I feel as if I can’t allow another alicorn to be born.” Her snarl faded as she looked me in the eye. “It’s too much of a risk." I turned then opened the door but stopped as I heard the sound I know all too well. I turned my head, and I saw a thirty-eight-pointed at me.

"If you take one more step I'll shoot you in the back. I'd rather go back to the slow death of our race than watch you have foal's with Applejack."

I turned to face her my hand at my sides, ready for a quick drew if I had to fight. " What about Cadence's foal?"

"Flurry is a winged unicorn, not a true alicorn. Sure, her power will in time be equal to ours, but she'll never be one of us. But, that's neither here nor there."

I nodded then lunged at her and grabbed her wrist then took the gun. I threw her back then opened shoved her back onto the bed. "You know if you'd tried a much less aggressive way about this there may have been a chance I may have ended up with one of you." She looked up at me then l laughed a little.

"Maybe so but that's far too late to think about that now."

I walked out of the room, Celestia didn't try to stop me this time and I was out the way I came then head back to the train station. I was far from happy but I wasn't going to murder her for killing Granny but I was going to tell everyone the truth when I have everyone together at the beach.
