It's night in Canterlot, however many slum dwellers are very much awake. In fact the slums is so awake, its as if its daytime. As the worst of the worst of Canterlot appears at night. Many bars that are empty during the day, fill up with all types of evil at night. From assassins to fixers. The slums turn into the hotspot for all things crime.

But not the 'I am pickpocketing' kind of crime. But rather 'I take a job and do it tomorrow' kind of crime. Most criminals are very much sophisticated. Even the mass murders are not willing to cross certain lines. One of such line is to abuse a child or harm them under any kind of circumstance. As they became who they are thanks to assholes like that.

And sadly for a small purple filly, that is what happened. Those assholes crushed her dreams, now she has to permanently pay the price for their actions.

Meet Twilight, the young purple filly. She just recently managed to escape the grasp of her abusers. She is young, poor and hungry. However right now she is not just sitting inside a bar, filled with the worst of the worst. However she isn't there to merely beg, no today she is there to learn how to do the act.

What act you might ask, well...

"No! I cannot let a small filly such as yourself take this job." Rouge Pearl shouted worried.

"But she won't leave, no matter what I do." Rouge's personal bouncer said with his hooves in the air.

"Child please leave. You do not want to take such a task on." Rouge tried to reason.

However a cold voice, with eyes as dead as a fish spoke up, "I will not leave until you have given me a chance." said the emotionless Twilight.

Rouge's bouncer looked at Twilight, "But why turn to killing? Isn't there much better ways for a child such as yourself to earn money? Like joining Celestia's school for gifted unicorns?" he asked.

Twilight face then turn grim at the mention, "Those fuckers that made me as I am now, work for that fucking school. I will not go there. Not anymore." Twilight said, her rage was mostly internal, as her inability to show emotion showed itself. Instead it sounded like a creepy child with an odd fascination with murder.

Rouge flinched at Twilight's swearing, "For future reference, what did those 'Fuckers' do exactly?" she asked.

"Abuse. Crushed my dreams. Pain. Torture... Do I need to go on?" Twilight offered.

Rouge blinked in shocked at the mention, "When did those fuckers start abusing you?" she said, now much more willing to swear.

"Age of three." Twilight said. She could gasps all around the bar at the fact.

"My god. So you wish to pick up the skill, to kill others, right?" Rouge asked.

"Correct. So will you give me chance or not?" Twilight asked.

Rouge sighed, she scratched the back of her head. "Fine. Listen up, this hit job requires that you use this crossbow. Here let me show you how to clean it, dismantle it and reassemble it. And shoot and hit with it." she said as she showed Twilight the ropes.

However Twilight dismantled and reassembled the crossbow without using any guides. Almost as if she was a born to use it. She then proceeded to clean it, to perfection. And shoot one bolt and instantly hit in the rose, and proceeded to continue hitting more bolts in the center of the target dummy, all in the head too.

"Am I ready now?" Twilight asked, her emotionless voice showing no affection, or interest.

Rouge slightly blinked at the result before giving Twilight a small smile, "Yes. Let me talk you through the plan." she said smiling.

Twilight merely nodded as she focused all her attention on Rouge.

"You will carry the disassembled crossbow in this suitcase, you then go to the building opposite to your target. Go on the roof, make sure nopony saw you. Then reassemble the crossbow on the spot, then search for your target. When you see him, and you think you can shoot him and kill him. Do so without hesitation. After that, use your horn to make a picture of the now dead target. Then disassemble your crossbow back into the suitcase. And leave the scene without attracting any attention. Is this understood?" Rouge explained.

Twilight nodded, "Who is the target?" she asked.

"Elena Swartz." Rouge said as she placed a picture of her in front of Twilight, "She is being targeted for abusing one of my clients after she also abducted her. We recovered my client later on, she was in poor shape but alive. However Elena will not stay alive. Kill her and return." she explained.

"Understood. She will be killed by twilight." Twilight said as she gives her signature statement.

Rouge smiled at the signature, "So Twilight when will you start?" she asked curious.

"Immediately." Twilight said as she grabs the suitcase and leaves the bar.

"Rouge are sure about that? Once she does the job, there is no going back." The bartender asked.

"Sadly yes. I doubt she will leave if I asked her to. Besides controlled evil is better than the opposite side of the spectrum." Rouge said saddened.

"I suppose you have a point. Still she seemed like such a cute kid. Its such a shame." The bartender admitted.

"That it is. And Saki Pearl? What is her background?" Rouge asked her daughter.

"It is quite interesting..." Saki said.

Meanwhile back with Twilight, she was nearing the site of her hitman job. As she calmly looked left and right. She saw the perfect building to take her shot from. She then used the fire staircase to climb to the top of the building. And before she began, she looked around. To check if she was spotted so far and to investigate security.

'Hm. Nobody spotted me. I see a sniper parallel to the target building. I sense no hostiles near mine. I have a clear sight. I see some patrolling guards. Nothing special. Yes, this is perfect.' Twilight though as she grabbed the suitcase and assembled her crossbow.

The crossbow, which was appropriately named "Hitman's sniper" was a lightweight bow, with some rather top heavy bolts. A string made of the strongest material possible, while the wood was made with apple tree wood. A durable and light alternative to iron wood. But at the cost of some flexibility. Due to this, it was easily broken and burnable. Perfect for destroying evidence.

Twilight then looked through the scope of the crossbow and quickly found her target. She then waited for the perfect moment to take her shot. She watched the target converse with other nobles. Among the nobles actually stood another interesting character. Princess Celestia was active at this party. Luckily she was far too focused on the party to stay alert.

It was then, that the perfect action presented itself. The target decided to cool down in her personal garden. Inside said garden was no other guests or guards. And it was also clear that nopony else was allowed in there. Perfect, she is alone and was laying down near the tree.

Twilight then focused through the scope, she took a deep breath to calm her movement and to stabilize her crossbow. One, two, three. "Thwank!" The crossbow made that sound as the bolt got released off the groove and shot through the riser. As it was now on path with her target. Fifteen milliseconds pass as the bolt hits the target in the head, killing her instantly.

Twilight then immediately takes a picture with her magic and disassembled the crossbow back into the suitcase. She then took one last look around the target's house. She saw no panic, no sign that anything was wrong. Well besides one pony. Princess Celestia looked alert, as if she saw something or heard something. But Twilight paid it no mind.

She calmly walks off the roof, down the fire escape staircase and away from the scene. She was a ghost. Nobody saw her, perfect execution. She then walks back to the bar she came from.

Meanwhile back at the party, Princess Celestia did indeed hear Twilight's bolt hitting someone.

"What is the matter your highness? You seem anxious." One of the noble ponies asked her.

"I heard the distinct sound of a crossbow hitting someone. I need to go, someone might need medical assistance." Princess Celestia stated as she ran off towards the direction of the sound.

"Your highness, this is Elena's personal garden, you got no access to enter it." The guard at the fence entrance said.

"Fine. But can you check on the host? I thought I heard something just now." Princess Celestia requested.

"Very well." The guard entered the garden, only for him to leave immediately. "You may enter, the host is... Is..." he said as he stumbles over his words.

"Is?" Princess Celestia asked with a sinking feeling.

"Dead. Shot by a crossbow bolt in the head. There is no way she survived that." The guard admitted, before walking off to barf in the bushes.

As Princess Celestia enters the garden, she sees the now deceased body of the host of the party. As she looked closer, the bolt had a distinct shape, "A hitman's crossbow..." she said out loud in shock.

One of the host's secretaries entered the garden, "Your highness what happened?" the secretary asked in shock at the now dead host.

"Shot by a hitman using a sniper type crossbow. Which she did with perfect execution. Shot in the head, when nopony was around. No panic, no blood. No trace." Princess Celestia said as she added that last part softly.

"No... This can't be happening. This night was going so well..." The secretary said saddened by the fact.

"Do you happen to know, why anyone would maybe target her?" Princess Celestia asked.

"I mean every noble has skeletons in their closet. I am afraid I was not one of those privileged to know the truth." The secretary admitted.

"Hm. Say that guard. Do you think he was one?" Princess Celestia asked suddenly.

"The one at the fence? I think so." The secretary admitted.

Princess Celestia then walks back to the now more pale looking guard. "Do you know why she might be targeted?" she asked.

"Yes. Very likely, due to her actions on a certain random girl from the slums. You see, she abducted and abused a random girl from the slums. That girl might have had connections with the underground. And the rest you can probably guess." The guard explained.

"I see. Thank you. Please send a rapport on the situation later to my guard. He will deal with the rest." Princess Celestia requested before walking back to the party.

Back with Twilight, she had finally reached the slums without being spotted... well atleast not outside the slums... sadly.

"There you are. You little escapee..." Twilight's abusers said. Twilight's eyes widen in fear.

"What is in that suitcase, little Twilight?" The abuser asked with a dark smirk on her face as she grabs the suitcase from Twilight forcibily. Unbeknownst to them, Rouge actually saw that and so did every criminal in the area. And after Twilight's confession, everyone knows too well of what was happening.

"No... the suitcase!" Twilight said scared. Her face gone even more pale.

"Hm?" The abuser actually opened the suitcase, "Parts of a crossbow." he said.

Twilight looked terrified. The abuser then smiled evilly, "Where did you get these?" he asked.

"Borrowed." Twilight said obeying in fear of punishment.

"From?" The abuser asked curiously.

"Her." Twilight said as she points at Rouge in the background.

The abuser looks at Rouge, "Is that so." he said that punches Twilight in the face.

It takes all of Rouge's willpower not to interfere. But instead when the abuser looks in her direction, she nods in confirmation.

It is then something inside Twilight's brain snaps. Her freedom, her sheer desire to escape. And her first kill, finally added up. As she reached for the knife that she hid in her hair, she looks at her abuser's head. Not in fear, but with the intention to kill.

As the abuser turns to Rouge to give to suitcase back, Twilight grabs the knife and without any hesitation, she stabs the knife into the back of her abuser's head. Much to the shock of the second abuser in the group. And before the second abuser could do anything, Twilight pulls the knife out of the back of the head and rushes forward and beheaded the second one.

Rouge then watches as Twilight gets a lot of blood sprayed on her. In shock and surprise. However one of the assassins in the background smiles in awe at the actions.

"My apologize Rouge. These two interfered with the mission. But I have taken care of them. Should I clean it up?" Twilight asked politely. Allowing some Twilight's real past to show itself.

"No need." The assassin in the background said, "There are clean up crews in the area for that." The assassin adds, he then looks to is partner and nodded.

The partner then walked over and levitated the bodies away into body bags and proceeded to clean up the blood from the ground. Before leaving without any words being used. Causing Twilight to look slightly confused, before once again placing her mask back on her head.

"My name is Tadaomi Karasuma. I am currently the leader of the assassination group called, E3. We specialize in assassinations and in turn also hitman jobs. I have been searching for an apprentice. And in my eyes, you fit that bill perfectly. So how about it?" Tadaomi asked politely.

"I will come back to you on that, mister Karasuma. I first need to talk to Rouge about my payment. I got her, and made the picture." Twilight said as she showed Rouge the picture.

"Very good. I will pay you of course. But I recommend taking Tadaomi on his offer first. He can offer you a home, a place to eat, drink and sleep. And offer you a job while also training you in the art of assassinations and hitman jobs. Not to mention, it will allow you to clean yourself up." Rouge recommended.

"Very well then, Mister Karasuma. I will accept your proposal. It's not like got anywhere else to call home. I got no family, and besides the job I just did now, no other forms of income. Luckily I can read, do math and write." Twilight stated, she saw Rouge flinched at the mention of no family for some reason.

Tadaomi smiled at this, "Good. You may now call me master. I shall train you to become the worlds greatest assassin and hitman. Perfect aim, survival ability, dexterity, identification, adaptive ability. The works. Welcome on board." he said.

"Tadaomi. I got one slight question." Rouge interfered.

"Go ahead." Tadaomi allowed.

"What if she does have family? And that family wants her back, after she is fully trained. Will she be allowed to go home?" Rouge asked.

Tadaomi smiled, "If her family really is alive then of course. I am not cruel. Our organization works in the background. If she has a place to call home, she can blend in. Allowing her to be even more useful. And on top of that, nopony would suspect her to be a killer then, no?" he asked.

"Understood. Then please take good care of her. She is still only six years of age. And had to endure far more than anyone should." Rouge requested.

"Of course. Now then, please follow me, Twilight." Tadaomi requested.

"Yes, Master." Twilight said as she followed her new master.

Author's Note

So... it begins. This is going to be awesome. I have been wanting to let lose and make something in my style. This is light crossover, it only showcases some characters from other shows. But this will all take place in Equestria.

That being said, three books is a lot to work on. Though with this one, I can assure you. It will not end up like Octo Sparkles. Since I have already though of an begin and end. And a rough estimation of the other chapters.
