“RUN AWAY the devils hand is-“

*shot!*

A pony falls limp on the ground dead as some other ponies were running around trying to run away, Red simply walks down the road as he finds the destroyed wagon, filled with innocent ponies. Taking his revolver out he shoots the lock as the ponies look at him with horror

“Go” was all he said as the ponies climb out and then run. He then sees a red mare on her side panting lightly as the bullet wound was not enough to kill her. Red walks up and looks at her eyes. Two brown orbs stair back at him with hate as she tries to get up but fails by getting kicked in the side.

“So… your…. The devil” she spits out some blood as she looks at him, his red clothed hand puts his revolver in his holster as he stairs at her.

“Not what you expected?” He said glaring at the mare, she does nothing but pant trying to cover the wound with a hoof, but soon he pulls a cigar out and lights it snapping the mare out of thought.

“So what do you want? To kill me?” She said with tad of fear spreading to her face, Red says nothing but puffs out the smoke as he looks down at the mare the glair still there. The mare twitched as he taps his cigar

“Who are you working for?” He asked

“What do you- AH!” She shrieked as the cigars was then pressed on her wound, the valley was filled with screams as Red kept the cigar in her wound but soon drops it as he puts a hand on the revolver grip “you ruined my cigar…” he muttered as he pulls the revolver out

“Okay okay! I’ll talk…” she said as the revolver was put closer to the head as Red grabs her black mane “why. Are. You. Capturing. Ponies” he said the mare pants and groans as her mane was tugged but she spits some more blood.

“We… we’re collecting ponies for some crazy pony! He is bucking crazy but the the pay was worth something” she said

“His name… what’s his name?” He said

“Fire buster, but he his know these days as Crusher” she said

“Good…. That’s the Info I-“ he was cut by hooves kicking his back sending him to the ditch ahead of him, heavy laughter was made as Red’s target was behind him.

“Should have kept your guard up Devils hand!” Crusher said trotting to the injured mare glaring down at her “as for you… I’ll make sure that you will have a less painful death for giving up information!” He said but was then stopped by shot firing out. Crusher dashes to the wagon as bullets flew by him. He grins as he hears them stop and soon dashed to Red bucking the gun off his hands and sends him to the floor.

Red growls as he grabs the stallion’s body and knees his stomach making him gasp the air out as Red then pulls a knife out to slash the leg. Crusher grunts as feeling the fire flow through his leg, but kicks the human away for him to catch his breath. Red turns to his gun witch was next to the stallion, Crusher grins picking the gun up and tries to use it but failed hearing a click sound

“How the buck can you use these thing!?” He shouts before throwing the gun to the side and takes a defensive stance and soon pulls a hammer out with his mouth. Red glair stays on his face as he wipes some sweat off his brow as he focused on his eyes.

Crusher soon yells out and charges forward lifting the hammer up but missed as Red dash to his side, but manage to hit his leg making him tumble to the ground. Crusher laughed behind the handle but runs up lifting the hammer up to end it.

Red rolls to the side, grabbing the hammer and lifts his boot up and kicks the stallion in the face making him tumble back a bit. He wipes the blood off his muzzle as Red stands now holding his revolver ready to shoot. Crusher stops and laughed knowing that the fight is over

“Ok ok, you win devils hand… you can-“ he screams as his back leg was shot making him fall on the ground, he glairs up at the cowboy who walks up and puts a foot on his body “your meant to be alive… the princess has plans for you… but she didn’t say on how much pain you need” Red said putting his revolver away. He is called the devils hand for a reason.

The red mare looks at the cowboy with shock but then flinched seeing him look over to her. He walks up and then crouched down “you can bleed to death out there… or you can turn yourself in with your contractor” he said standing up as the mare looks at Crusher who is now tied up and then the desert around her. Lifting two hooves up she looks down a bit “take me in…” she said.

Few hours later…

Crusher and the red mare are tied together as Red was busy making a fire with what was left of the wagon. He looks over at the two with his rifle out as he spits on the ground.

“You’ve been quiet?” Crusher said

“He alway is!” The mare said still trying to brake the rope. She then sees Red hold a stick in a fire as he soon gets up and walk to the two.

“So… are you going to keep pissing me off or are you going to stay in your rope!” He snapped at the mare, she stops looking away trying to hold back tears as Red sits back down.

“You're… You’re a bucking monster!” She shouts as he does not care, he then drops the stick and looks at the two “I am” he said simply as he then inspects his weapons. The mare bit her lips as she looks away feeling tears fall down her face ‘I’m going to die’ she thinks as Red soon gets up once more as he walks over to Crusher

“You know… you should have asked for better protection Burster heh” he said as the stallion glairs up at him “you won’t understand on what you done devil’s hand” he grunted

“No. But I don’t care” he said as the stallion start grunting as he tries to get out of his bonds. He was then hit in the head by Red’s rifle, now out cold Red looks at the red mare who was still crying quietly as she looks away.

“You know for a bounty hunter… you do seam act like a foal” he says as the mare glairs at him, he then pulls a cigar out as he then lights it. He looks away a bit but then rubs his hair under his hat as he puff some smoke out.

“You… don’t understand…” she croaked in between sobs making the cowboy roll his eyes knowing this kind of usual trick “I don’t wanna die… and I don’t know on how to really move on” she said calming her sobs down a bit

“I lost my whole family and now I’m all alone, and doing this kind of job is all I have left” she said

This now make Red look away a bit getting what she would say, but he then runs his eyes and turns away he says nothing as he puts his rifle away, but he then stops as he hears the mares cries are gone… he would turn around if he didn’t get bucked so hard in the head.

His vision is blurry as he tries to stay up…. But he felt the ground under him as he fells the hat fall off as he landed. As he was about to black out he could see a red hooded figure above him as he soon passed out.

“I knew we’re shouldn't have trusted that idiot! Now we have to deal with the human now too!” A mare said a looking at the two passed out ponies. She then looks at the cowboy and sees his weapons

“… get his weapons off of him, and grab then the three… I’ll dead with this” she said as trotting to the destroyed wagon using a spell she lights it in fire. The wagon soon disappears with all what was remaining now shriveled up into nothing the mare in the hood laughed as she sees the her fellow follower pull the bodies away to the dark.

“Hey!”

Red hears a voice that sounds familiar to him and tries to look for it again, he can’t see anything but darkness…. And he can’t understand this.

“Who is there?” He said hearing his echo around the plane. He feels soon dirt on his feet making him look down to see his boots and then as he looks up he sees it… his old home

“No…” he muttered as he sees his father and mother there… he can’t move as he tries to get to them “no Mom Dad, there coming! Get out-“ he stops as he sees a younger him walk up covered in blood.

“What is this?” He said as the young boy looks back at him with a crazy smile as he soon start to burst into laughter as he lifts the torch up “can’t you see it!?” The younger Red said

“What? I don’t…” he stops as the tour h was then dropped as fire begins to slowly go towards the house, Red soon tries to grab the kid but then feels pushed as his vision blurs.

He sees him… holding the cigar as his blank expression looks at the fire as he laughed, Red lunges to his father’s gun and shoots point blank at the man killing him right there.

Red blinks as he looks at his older selfs remains but this ain’t right that’s was not supposed to be him… it was- he stops as a voice echoed around him

“Devils… hand”

He can’t find the source but tires to see where it’s coming from but has no luck, he looks at the burning house and then his older dead body.

“Devils hand!” The voice repeats

This time he looks at his now burnt hand he sees a mark now and has his vision blurred again feeling his older self again. He looks around but sees nothing again as the voice continues to echo

“DEVILS HAND!”

“No…” he muttered soon seeing the bodies of people he has killed… manly the ponies… he tries to run but stops to hear laughing around him

“Your not looking too go now are you Harlow…” the voice said making him look around again but still finds nothing.

“Hey!” The voice from before returned making him soon see light again. Red tries to run to it but feels the earth around him break as he tumbled to blackness and then black.

“HEY!” The voice said slapping Harlow across the face making him wake up painting as he sees his surroundings. The red mare was out of rope but sees that both of them were in a cage. Red finds his hat and looks at the mare step back as he takes in more of area now.

“Where the hell are we?” He said

Red is had found his target! But he now faces a challenge, he was captured and taken to who knows where! But what can Red do? We’ll see next time on Red dead redemption the legends!
