Lucky Heart
Chapter #1 (Rewrite)
Load Full StoryNext ChapterThe first thing I felt when I woke up was pain, Pain all over, I didn't know anything when I woke up. then I slowly opened my eyes and looked around and blinked, 'A desert why a desert? Wasn't I last in a... I can remember.' I look at my self to show, 'I am a yellow fox with two green tipped fox tails huh.' I slowly shook my head and sighed, 'I have to do something. I need to survive.' I looked around my surrounding to see basically nothing but sand and a few shrubs. 'that is going to be harder than I thought.'
'I am in the middle of nowhere,' I slowly started walking in no given direction. After what felt like a couple hours and my body burning in the desert sun, I stopped walking and fell over from exhaustion. '....its so hot....' I tried to stay awake but the darkness slowly engulfed me.
A few hours later I heard voices in the darkness, voices I couldn't make out until they said, "This is odd one aye? A fox in the desert? Hum it's additionally the size of a pony. That's different enough, I imagine Boss would like it, whatever it is." I felt something goes over her muzzle and felt a small prick in her neck and the darkness fully engulfed her.
When I woke up I saw I was inside cage inside a dark room, A room full with captured animals all different. I was confused, I didn't understand what was going on. Than the light flipped on and the awake animals all started to move to the back of their cage, A Red pony stallion was standing in the door way to the room, and he was staring right at me. The look he gave caused me to shiver. Whatever they planned was for us was not nice, and I wanted no part in it.
I started to growl and the stallion smirked, this just irked me more. Than I heard his voice and annoyed me his smug tone, "Come on little fox lets see how much fight you have!?" The cage door shot open, I blinked, really? 'Did they really just release me, or was this some kind of trick.' I took one step forward only to get shocked, 'TRICK!' I snarled, Now I was really pissed off.
"Awww Little Fox got hurt," I growled loud and the stallion just laughed, "Hehe I like this one. Hey boss can I buy it?!" Than i heard a deep raspy voice that made my bones shake, "No this one is going into Auction. Before that though we have to prepare that thing for everything. "I put my paw on the cage getting another shock and yelped, Lightning zapped off my fur and into the wall. No one noticed but me and I had an idea. Somehow I recognized with electricity means a power source and with all power sources have fuse boxes. Fuse boxes that can be tripped turning off the power. So If I could trip the fuse box I could escape. The amount of pain that would be included was tremendous, I grunted softly. Best I try later when The room is peaceful and deserted.
Meanwhile in the LPPD, a grey stallion with a white mane and tail, Officer Sickle, was sitting at my desk looking at the reports of the Gang of the Midnight Sun. I sighed, 'These assholes always have the same story. They attack the police...or try anyway. We refused to take their bribes so now they attack us, idiots they don't even have firearms and they attack The Las Pegasus Police Station. I heard a knock on my door and replied with a, "It's Open." I was still staring at my when My New team member in my Swat team entered. "Hello noobie what do you you need?" Than she slammed her hoove on the table showing a newspaper with the title, I looked at her enraged expression. 'Police refused to act against the Midnight Sun Gang!!' I sighed again, but this time just with irritation behind it. "Look before we start the whole argument, What the bloody fuck do you think I can do?!"
She snarled, "I want them caught! I want their Boss History! I Don't want him in prison, I just want him in a ditch!" He face hooved receding a another sigh, "Look I know what you want Officer Heart" She growled, "I mean Lost Heart But we cant do that without permission from our officers or..-" I smirked, "Or they can come out to play." She caught my meaning and smirked.
"You got it Officer Sickle I'll go Play with them some, maybe I'll finally get the cat out of the bag." I started reading again and than I realized what I just did. 'I am so fucked, my boss is going to kill me.' I sighed and resigned into my fate, If I was going to do this. I better go all out, "Wait up Lost Heart!"
"What Officer Sickle? I thought you wouldn't join me. After all you wanna keep that perfect image of yours." I snorted in objection, hate it when she hits my painful spots. It's not my fault the ponies suspect me of several crimes. "Why does everyone think I am a criminal, I mean really the only thing illegal I ever did was enter a sex hotel." That gets Hearts attention, "That isn't a crime."
I smirked and whispered in her ear, "When you spray like me it is." She blushed and looked away, "Dude I am not your wife!" Than she stopped, and looked at me "Just how old are you?" I rolled my eyes.
"25 or so I mean seriously I finished academy at 20." She just stared at him in awe, she hasn't even finished her classes yet and the police office required her assistance. The officers are running low on officers after the gangs, and her family were police officer 12 years ago when the gangs killed them. She was only 10 then, now though she was 22. She grown up a lot. Hell I wasn't even in the LPPD, I had to listen from the sheriff. I'm just a lieutenant, "So What is your plan private?" She snorted at that, she hated that title. She might be a noobie but she didn't like to admit it.
"So Sickle?" I hummed, "Where does the Midnight Sun you know hold its base" I face hooved hard and sighed this is going to be a very long day.
Me and Lost Heart was walking to the Midnight Suns hide out, they were on the west side of las pegasus, in other words the Getto. The gang held control of two important buildings one of which is the casino in the east, and the other is the building they are going to now. The Auction house, the house they sell animals and enslaved ponies...well 'unofficially'. Officially we have found no evidence to support this claim. It annoyed both me and Heart that we couldn't act Officially.
I grumbled at my internal thoughts, I hated not being able to rid this city of those scum bags. I looked up at the sun and sighed, 2:15pm we should get their by 3pm. Than I heard Lost heart grumbling and I knew what was wrong. "Your family again?"
"I cant get their terrified looks out of my mind okay!? They was just doing the right thing!! None of us expected the gang to attack our home!!" I looked away and wipes the tear from her eyes with my levitation magic.
"So Shadow Scythe you gonna show me that fancy magic of yours?!" I smirked, my magic was something i was very proud of. Shadow Creation as my family put it. I used to be name Shadow Sickle, and I Still use it as my undercover or non-serious name.
"So what do you think we will find Lost?" She thinks for a second, "Heads on walls animals on cages." Oh she was half right.
"So how are we going to do this Guns blazing or?-" I didn't get to finish she screams "YES" We got a few concerned looks pointed our direction and I tried hard not to laugh. "If we do you have to do exactly what I tell you or we will get arrested!"
She nods, and we both knew she wouldn't well not after she saw the boss. She would charge like the wild animal she is, so I would have to keep and eye on her.
I was standing in front of the Auction house, and what I saw surprised me. The guards had tommy guns, I whistle in rage. I didn't expect them to have guns?! We have reports of them having no firearms but here they stand with gun!?
I slowly levitate out my M12 pistol 10mm, I notice Lost is pulling out her standard issue Colt 17. We started to rush forward to the two guards Lost taking the right and grabbing his front hoof and overhauling him into the ground. She flipped out her baton and cracked the guard stallion across the neck. I swore I could hear it shatter. Me on the other hoof rammed into the stallion and wrapped my combat wire around her neck and pulled until he stopped struggling. I nodded to Lost and she smiled, we made our way inside the auction house.
Entering the auction house, we are treated to the sight by a great hall of. It was made of marble and the trim was golden, not real gold but painted. The floor had a red carpet through it. The hallway was about 300 feet long and 12 feet tall. A single chandelier was in the middle of the hallway. Door in ever 10 feet, the sight caused me and lost to whistle in surprise. This place was bloody massive, how do they have the money to afford this. This was just the entry hallway, this place must be huge!!
Lost started to snarl, she knew they were rich and the ponies outside are poor, but seeing it is two different things. If she had that money she would send it those homeless ponies who had a family! "Where are these bastards!" I snarled under my breath and hissed at her, "Idiot we have to stay quiet until we have absolute evidence of their criminality, than you can go arrest them all. We cant kill anyone unless well..." Than I look over to see a single door open. I slowly creep forward and notice its to the basement. I smirk, point my hoove at lost and she nods.
We both sneak forward with out chosen Melee weapons out. My combat razor wire, and her steel baton. Our chosen pistols to each of sides not covered by the other. That's when we heard the Raspy voice of The Boss, I had to hold Lost back which wasn't very easy. Damn she was strong now! "Look that fox has some special energy around her I don't think its like the normal animals we caught." Than we heard someone else in the room and he sounded displease. "What a different colored fox?! What is this a game to! That thing isn't even sentient much less what you think it is" The Boss growled, "Listen here take that thing before something bad happens!! I don't want my empire to collapse." Something was happening her and whatever it was I wanted no part in it.
"Lets go check out this fox thing?" Lost sighed knowing she could have her vengeance yet, and nodded. We made our way deeper into the basement. Than we saw the sign that made us both growl. 'Pony Trafficking' I took out my camera and shoot a picture at that sign. "I'm thinking about going in their and saving those ponies...but" I look around forming a plan in my head than I get an idea. I look to a dark hallway and smirked, perfect. "Okay lets find this fox first, I wanna see what the buzz is all about here", Lost heart sighed disappointed.
"We will save these ponies i just need time to formulate a proper plan." She nods still angry. We make our way future into the basement and I had a very bad feeling. 'Where are all the guards that should be patrolling?' We made ourselves into the 'Animal pens' and what we saw caused our jaws to drop. Their was a fox shocking it self with the electricity and redirecting most of electricity into the walls. Than the power went out, and we heard the Guards yelling in confusion.
"What the fuck?" I activate the flash light on my pistol and shone it at the now empty cage where the fox once was. "Where did it-"I didn't even get to finish my sentence when I heard Lost heart scream in surprise. I quickly turned an saw The fox onto of her growling. I grab the Fox by the neck with my magic and throws it away. "STOP!" And it freezes and tilts its head, I blink. Than it blinks, "Are you okay lost?" I ask keeping my eyes on the fox.
"Yeah it didn't attack me just trying to intimidate" I saw smoke rising off her burnt fur and than the fox stumbled and passed out after the adrenaline wore off. We heard the guards shout for blood and murder. "New plan escape now, Good news, darkness my power is at its maximum. Bad news we are outnumbered outgunned. We need to retreat and attack alter." Lost heart nearly screamed at me, "What about those ponies!!" I stop and sigh, 'today is a good day to die.'
I slowly awoke to the sounds of hooves hitting concrete and the feeling of a moving pony and warmth, they put a blanket over me. 'These ponies must be the nice ponies!' I started to shift and apparently the Grey stallion noticed because he said, "Woah there careful you don't wanna fall off!" I nodded softly, and he sighs. Than I try to speak, for the first time.
"Okays." The Ponies freeze and stare at me in shock, I blink and smile. Again they just stare in confusion than they look at each other and the Grey stallion sighs. "Fine!!" I get the idea he sighs a lot, this will be entertaining. "I reckon we need to guide her how to talk huh? Who would have thought i would have to deal with a talking fox!?" My speaking was bad, by their reactions is think so.
"Iz iwt zawt bawd" Pink mare made a awe sound, and Grey stallion snorted. "Can we keep her?!" I looked at the pink mare and tilted my head. "Maybe Lost heart maybe, she is more protected with the Swat unit than anything." I blink and nod, I assume I will be with them now. I smile, finally i have a idea on what I should do. My paws starts to glow with amber-light, the ponies notice and gaze in confusion. My left eye flashes red and particular command appears in my eye.
Combat Form Y/N?
I mentally tap no the Combat prompt disables, and I blink away the confusion and smiles. The grey coated stallion stare sat on me for a few seconds and sighs again!?
"Well that was odd, we have to check that out later when we have time!" Lost heart just nodded and said quietly, "So Shadow Scythe what should we name her?" For some reason i had a inkling what my name was.
"Luwky Heawt!!" Lost heart again made a awe sound, and Shadow Scythe started walking again with Lost heart. "That settles it her name is Lucky Heart. I land on the ground and walks beside them. Unnoticed by all three of us, each time my paws land on the concrete inside this hallway. The concrete forms circles around a perfect paw dent in the concrete.
We make our way to the slave pens in the darkness I could see better than the ponies but I followed behind them. When they opened the door I was overwhelmed by the amount of stink was in this room. The one smell that caught my attention though was the smell of blood. My paws started to glow brighter in the darkness, exposing a room full of terrified ponies. I growled and rage and Shadow sighed again, he really is the sigh stallion! "Look Uhh lucky Heart I cant hold Lost heart and you at once so please try to stay calm." I nod, and looks way. Well Until 'Whack' than all our ears perked up. I could see the fire in Lost hearts eyes.
I didn't understand what was happening, until Lost rushed forward before Shadow could catch her an she kicked open the door that the sound came from Screaming, "POLICE!!" Inside was mare tied to a wall and a stallion holding a bloodied whip. Than my vision turned red, the ground started to shake. The stallion was to slow to react before anyone could react the ground exploded in spikes impaling him. Shadow looked at me in surprise and Lost grunted. The ponies in the cages glanced at us with glassy broken eyes. Each pony was scarred and bloodied. The mare though was covered in very fresh cuts and injuries.
I could see the fire ignite in Shadows eyes, I don't think he would hold back Lost anymore. He looked pissed, "Get these ponies out Lost.-" Than we hear a knock and look over at a buff Green unicorn stallion with a Double barrel shotgun fort a cutie mark. I looked over and saw the same shotgun floating in the air in silver glow, The shotgun pointed directly at me. Than Boom, I felt the pellets dig into my skin knocking me back onto my side covered in blood. The last thing I heard was, "LUCKY NO!!"
