Razor calmly walked down the dirt road back to his home. Earlier before the first classes he had asked Starlight if he could have the day off. Not because he was lazy; but because he was backed up on orders. He had to get more than a few swords and knives made by the end of next week. Yes, he had been getting up early; which allowed him to finish a few of the orders. But, he had yet to get through the bulk of his orders. He still had three bastard swords to make. Twelve crusader shields, fifty viper blades; twenty of said blades needing name etching. And, five of them needed art painted onto them. Normally he would have that done within the week. But with the school taking up a few hours of his day. To say he was putting in overtime was a very big understatement.

As he walked back home a few feet behind him Cool mint and Wintergreen walked. Both of them were going to make this freak pay. And, they were going to make sure that this retard was going to pay. They made sure to keep a safe distance from him. When he would stop they would hide; they kept a close eye on him. As Wintergreen hid he broke off a branch from a tree. If that kid didn't have brain damage; he was going to have it now. When Razor started walking again; they started following him again. As he took a turn they ran up and quickly rounded the corner. Only to see he was not there; it confused them greatly.

“Why are you both following me?” Razor asked as he appeared behind.

Both of them jumped with a shout as they looked behind him. They had to take a moment to get over their shock. Both of them breathed heavily for a moment until they glared at him; and readied their weapons.

“We are going to fight?” He asked.

“No,” Wintergreen responded, “Were going to give you brain damage.” He threatened.

“For many my brain is damaged enough,” Razor responded only to step back as Wintergreen took a swing at him, “Fine we fight.” He finished before Cool mint tried to use a knock back spell on him.

Smolder, Gallus, and Ocellus- who had transformed herself into a dog- were following Razor's trail. Just awhile ago; they had watched him enter Principal Starlight's office. Only to watch him leave and exit the school. Ocellus being the curious one; had entered the principal's office. Only to come back to the two and tell them what she just heard. Apparently Razor had a job outside of school. Both of them were immediately skeptical about it. After some convincing they managed to talk Ocellus into skipping class again. Ocellus had her nose close to the ground; sniffing out the scent of Razor.

“Have you almost found him yet?” Gallus asked.

“Not yet,” Ocellus answered as she continued to follow the scent, “But, were getting close. His scent is getting stronger.” She finished continuing to sniff.

As they got closer to him; they heard what sounded like a fight. They watched as a couple of branches flew into the air. Ocellus had transformed back into her original form. The three looked at one another; before they ran up to the area and rounded the corner. Only to see Wintergreen, Cool mint, and Razor. Razor was currently on the ground covering his head. While Cool mint was using his magic to try and get Razor's pathetic defense down. Wintergreen was ready to hit him with a limb he had levitated over his head.

“You earned this, retard.” Wintergreen snorted just as Cool mint managed to move his arms.

Before the two could deliver anymore blows; both of them were tackled off of him. Smolder had grabbed Wintergreen and tossed him into a tree. While Gallus had pinned Cool mint down and was growling loudly. Ocellus was checking over Razor; trying to see if he was still conscious.

“What are you doing, Smolder?” Wintergreen asked as Smolder lifted him up by the throat.

“What am I doing,” Smolder replied as her grip tightened around his throat, “what are you two doing?” She growled.

Cool mint answered, “Teaching the retard of the school a lesson.” his answer caused Gallus to growl a little louder.

“He has a name,” Gallus growled, “His name is Razor edge.”

Wintergreen scoffed, “What you all care for the mentally retarded colt now.”

His comment earned him a hard punch to the gut from Smolder. Cool mint tried to help his friend; but he got some hard slashes from Gallus's talons. Ocellus had to shield Razor from the occasional magical blasts that Wintergreen and Cool mint fired. But, eventually to two ended up being beaten. Forcing both of them to run away.

Wintergreen shouted as they ran, “You're all gonna pay for this!”

Both Smolder and Gallus breathed heavily for a little bit. Before they turned around and looked at the two. They walked back just as Ocellus helped Razor up. She tried to help dust him off; but he stopped her.

Ocellus asked, “Razor, are you okay?”

“Yes,” Razor answered in his robotic toned voice, “Thank you all. But, why are you all here?” He asked.

Each of them looked at each other nervously; wondering what to say to him. Neither of them wanted to answer him. But, unfortunately Professors Applejack's were kicking in. Given that it was his idea to begin with; Gallus walked up and was going to answer.

“All three of you thought I had lied about having a job outside of school. Didn't y'all?” Razor asked before Gallus could ask him, “It's okay. It's happened before.” He finished.

A long silence was followed; none of them could think of anything to say. Originally they were all here to see if the colt in front of them was lying. But, instead they just saved him from a bully attack. After a few more moments of silence; Razor spoke.

“Thank you all. Have a good day.” He then continued walking back home; before he was out of ear shot he added, “If you all want to see where I work you're all welcome. But, I suggest you all get back to the school.” The moment he finished that all three of them had a look of terror appear on their faces.

Razor watched as all three of them sprinted back to the school as fast as they could. He watched them long after they were out of his sight. He then shook his head.

“If only they ran that fast in coach Rainbow's class. All three of them would tie for the school record.” He finished before turning around and continuing his walk back to his home
