Load Full StoryNext ChapterBANG!
BANG!
“Shots fired! shots fired!” officer Red Spark of the baltimare police department said into his walkie talkie “send back up! I need back up!”
it was a good day today until he had received a call about a pony who had murdered his wife in his home, now here he is hiding behind his police cruiser while trying not to get shot and killed by a 12 gauge round ‘and here I thought it was gonna be a great day, with the clear skies and shit...’
“Red! where the fuck is our backup!?” his partner Comet Sweeper, a cyan-colored pegasus with a brown mane, asked as he returned fire at the suspect.
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
“Dispatch, where the hell is our backup? we need-” before Red could finish another round whizzed by his head by mere inches, he quickly ducked behind the car as the pony fired upon a few more shots at him and his partner. Comet meanwhile took out the empty mag from his pistol so he could load a fresh one in before making his way towards a tree, he leans his head out cautiously before shouting at the pony.
“Sir! please drop your weapon and come to us with your hooves in the air where we can see them!”
“No!” the pony, a unicorn with a light yellow mane and a red coat, yelled as he shot off another round barely missing Comet “you don't understand! I’m trying to save all of you! Everypony!”
“Save everypony my flank! You killed your bucking wife!” Comet yelled back.
“SIr please listen to us! lay down your firearm! I dont want to shoot you!” Red said as the pony shot at him again.
BANG!
“No! please! I don't want to kill any of you! nopony has to die today!” the pony said this time with fear in his voice.
“if you dont want to kill anyone I suggest you lay down your gun right now!”
“for the love of Celestia, I dont think he’s gonna give up Comet,” Red said as he tried to move towards Comet’s position only to be shot at again, missing him again.
then, in the distance, they heard the beautiful sound of more Police sirens approaching ‘finally! looks like backup is coming!’ Red thought to himself.
Comet peeked from behind the tree with his pistol aimed at the pony “sir this is your last chance! put down your gun and surrender! dont make me-”
BANG!
Red looked back to see Comet drop his gun before falling onto the ground, bleeding out onto the grass “Comet!” Red shouted as he got up from behind the car and fired his pistol at the pony.
“you motherbucker!” he yelled in rage as he unloaded the rest of his ammunition.
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
All 4 rounds managed to find their target as each bullet hit the pony in the chest before the last one went through and out the back of his head, he dropped his shotgun and falling onto the ground, lifeless. Red reached over to his walkie-talkie “dispatch! I got an officer down! send paramedics here, please!” he shouted as he ran over to his fallen friend.
Red took off his vest (which was all blooded) and applied pressure to his wound as he reassures Comet “Comet! you’re gonna be alright okay? just stay with me!”
“Dont worry about me Red...I’ll be fine...if I survived back in Vietmane I’m sure as shit gonna survive this...” he said as he grinned at him.
“Y-yeah...yeah you’re gonna live cabrón!”
“Y-you and me R-Red...if we can make it out o-of that shithole...w-we sure as shit can make it out of this!” Comet said as a few police cruisers and an ambulance finally arrived at the scene.
“Dad!”
Red heard as he was immediately hugged tightly by his daughter Ramirez, he smiles at her as he ruffled her mane and hugged her back.
“Whoa, there kiddo! What's got you worked up?” he asked as he took off his cap and placed it on a nearby stand.
She looked at him as if she was gonna cry “I heard what happened, dad! I-I thought I was gonna lose you like mom!”
“Dont worry mi hija, you’re not gonna lose me. if anything you should be worried about Comet” Red then walks over towards the living room and sat himself down on the couch before reaching towards the coffee table and picking up the TV remote, turning the TV in the process.
“is Comet gonna be okay, Dad?” she asked as she sat next to her father.
Red chuckled to himself “he will be, if he could survive that helicopter crash in vietmane then he could survive being shot by a shotgun. so, wheres Star at?”
“He’s out getting us some pizza from that place we saw yesterday”
“Ooh, pizza! that sounds like a great idea!”
The two continued to chat with each other for hours into the night until finally, Star arrived with the pizza. placing it on the kitchen counter, he entered the living room to see his soon-to-be wife and her father talking to each other.
“Star!” Ramirez shouted as she got off the couch and approached him quickly before hugging him tightly.
“Hey Rammy!” he said, hugging her back. he looked over and saw Red smiling at them “hey mister Red”
“Star we talked about this, you don't have to call me mister all the time. just call me Red, that's all you have to say”
“Hehe, sorry Red,” he said nervously as he moved his hoof through his mane.
“So Star,” Ramirez asked “about that pizza”
“Oh yeah, it's in the kitchen Rammy. you get the pizza and I’ll get the plates and cups, okay?”
“Okay!” she said cheerfully as she kissed him on the cheek (which caused him to blush heavily) before going into the kitchen with Star.
“hehe, those two are a great couple,” Red said to himself “they’re perfect for each other, reminds me of myself and her mother...”
he then looked out the window and stared at the moon before letting out a sigh and thought to himself ’ if only you were here...to see what had become of our beautiful daughter...’
“Dad! come get some pizza!” Ramirez shouted.
“coming!” Red replied as he got off the couch and taking one last look at the moon before making his way to the dining room and joining them.
