Ponyville's Biggest Threat

Comber was resting on the same delicate stone once again. He was just resting, waiting for a new job to appear. He was bored out of his mind. Why did he have to be an assassin?

A green Pegasus with orange eyes, mane, and tail were scouting Ponyville. She was looking for a black colt. She, however, didn’t find the colt through Ponyville. She didn’t see anypony out actually. Why was everypony harboring inside? Was it a tradition? She was confused, but she still wanted to find this colt, she has a job for him. She was at the school, Mrs. Cheerilee’s to be exact. He wasn’t there. She flew vastly over Twilight’s library, scouting it. He wasn’t there either. She saw a graveyard. He might be that type of pony? She soared through the air, making a loud windy sound that could be heard only in the graveyard. Comber ears perked up at the sound. He found it a tiny bit irksome. He kept his eyes closed; that was noxious of that Pegasus. He didn’t even look at the Pegasus that flew over him, or... soared past. The Pegasus saw a black colt with a mane of red, corresponding to his tail. That’s him. She landed by a tombstone named Diana, making her way to the colt. Comber’s eyes opened slowly.

“You want something?”

The colt asked, Sounding blunt. Lighting Dust recognized that voice. That was definitely him.

“I see that you’re resting. Are you Comber, the assassin of legend?”

The green pegasus asked, recognizing him from her past. Comber was a little surprised that somepony from Ponyville would know his reputation. Then again she's from Cloudsdale. That’s really strange... If she knew he was in Ponyville, how come she didn’t say anything to the authorities if she knows what his job is? Maybe she doesn’t live in Ponyville but instead in Cloudsdale? Comber turned his face to the voice. Giving a blank expression.

“Do you live in Ponyville? "

Comber asked the Pegasus with little concern. The pegasus chuckled. She doesn’t live in this village. She lives in the floating city in Equestria: Cloudsdale.

“I’m a Pegasus, where do you think I live, huh?”

Welp his assumptions was right. Comber didn’t like her tone. He heard more agitating tones from his “used to be job.” Was she here to hire him or confront him?

“There’s Pegasus in Ponyville too you know?”

The assassin felt a tiny amount of annoyance. Lighting Dust felt a little dumb, at the same time, right. There are no ponies in Ponyville out and about right now. She decided to brush the colt’s remark off. He was right. Pegasus likes to migrate across Equestria. She wanted revenge upon a certian Pegasus that wronged her. She was kicked out of the Wonder Bolts academy because of her. The pegasus’s agitation raised remembering that moment when Spitfire striped her rank away from her. She’s way better than that stupid blue pegasus.

“So you know my reputation then? I didn’t know I held it. It's easy to forget sometimes."

(”Surprise the authorities in Ponyville didn’t know. Of course this village crusades themselves with peace and harmony... ah... that would be nice for a change.")

“I do!”

Lighting Dust said with a devious smile. She brought 250 bits with her. She hoped that would be enough to hire him; that pegasus can’t be that important to Equestria. She’s nothing but a coward; and a life-ruining bucker.

“How much is it to hire you?”

Lighting Dust said with confusion. She hoped she had enough currency to hire him. Comber thought about the prices. He had to sum up the pony’s authority, wealth, and age. If the age was too low, then it would be 0 bits, with No authorization. He doesn't kill foals. Unless they were other spices. Like that pony in shimmering armor. He was a pest.

“Depends on the pony you want dead?”

Comber bluntly replied. Lighting Dust thought about it. She thought 250 bits would be enough; after all, this pegasus is very dull and unimportant.

“How much would it cost to get rid of Rainbow Dash? You know kill her?”

Lighting Dust asked. She was in fear that the price would be excessively high. She was right to fear the price. Comber checked his watch. Turning it on. He searches for Rainbow Dash, finding her information. He turned his head to the green Pegasus.

“She represents the element of Loyalty, correct? A representative of the Elements of Harmony. If so, 1000 bits.”

Lighting Dust thought her ears deceived her. 1000 bits for Rainbow Dash. That’s too high for a worthless pegasus. She knew better not to complain or argue with him. She just accepted the price. She would be a tap for now. The cost may be high, but soon, that pegasus will be low in the dirt.

“Alright. *sigh* I only have 250 bits. Is it alright if I come back with a sufficient amount of bits? Do you have tabs you could put me on?”

Lighting Dust asked in disappointment. She tried to hide her agitation in her tone. Comber put Lighting Dust job in the pending tab. Lots of jobs are pending. Want vengeance, you work for it.

“You’re pending. Come back when you have the accurate quantity of bits.

The colt professionally replied. He trusted she will come back with the accurate amount of currency (bits.)

“Alright, I will.”

Lighting Dust said in agreement. The green pegasus flew up in the sky from the graveyard. Comber closed his eyes and returned to his recent position. Rest presently. The jobs will be forthwith. Well Hopefully. It would be quite a while most liekly. To reach that amount of bits. The green pegasus already had a plan to save, collect and pay for the hit. She could feel the wind blowing through her mane and all around her. She’s definitely fast, faster than Rainbow Dash. Especially after she hires that colt. Rainbow Dash didn’t even apologize for ruining her dream career. She looked as justice had been served; she wasn’t intending to harm her friends. she was being natural and doing tasks for the academy. She has another career in mind now anyways. One that is way better than the Wonderbolts!

(”Ponyville is still empty, seriously, why is it empty? The ponies in this village must either be planning a big event or lazy? Are they hiding? Comber must’ve already did a job here then. Cowards.”)

The pegasus thought to herself. She was still a little confused about this village. She doesn’t live there, nor does she want to. None of that matters. She accelerated her speed, wanting to make it to her destination fast and earn bits for the hit. The pegasus exited Ponyville, heading up to the sky north of Ponyville. She flew up to a certain floating city. she has bits at home but that’s still not enough bits. She knows a way to get some. A devious smile forming on her face.

("This could be a long and careful time. In the end it will be all worth it!")
