Chapter 1 the end of the beginningView OnlineRed dead redemption: the LegendsChapter 1 the end of the beginningLife is one of the most strange to experiences, but how would it end? Death is the only one that shows the open arms to the next stage of life, but it never last long some of the times. It’s fast or slow how did it all start? Red Harlow is a good example. He was one of the world’s greatest gunslingers and bounty hunter ever known back in the day, but his death was a mysterious thing. The folk thought he died in a gun fight or even betrayed, but most think he died peacefully knowing that his vengeance was served. But there was another, so many years later another man who have had the thoughts of peace, but as a dream they always never meet their expectations. Arthur Morgan was highly fast and strong cowboy to ever live. But has lived his nearly his whole life as an outlaw with Dutch. He killed, robbed for a living. But when the world was starting to make order with law things change everything. And the so trusted leader Dutch left Arthur along as his sickness slowly begin take his life away, and died in the sunlight. Another thought had an idea for vengeance for the fallen brother, John Marston once the outlaw was then a simple family man. First killed a man who was after him and his family but then was found by the law and was in duty to put Dutch to the ground. But in the end the deal goes south with Marston out gunned and killed by Pinkerton. But what would have happened if their fate was altered for a reason… no it’s just magic it’s luck, and with that power of luck something happens to the three cowboys. John shouts out as he tries to keep stand also reaching for his gun, pulling his revolver he fires at a tree scaring some animals away. The man soon stops to breathe and sees his surroundings as he takes the moment to know that Edger and the others are not here anymore. “What the hell is happening? I… I” John said getting up, putting his revolver away as well. “I don’t get it… I was shot all over” he said looking at his body and feels nothing. But looking around some more he is in a completely different place and must be far from home. “Was it a dream? I don’t know anymore” he says before knowing that talking to himself won’t fix nothing. “A town… yeah I’ll need to find a town” he said he whistles for his horse and gets no response ‘shit’ he thinks before groaning as he begins to walk. “This doesn’t make any sense” he said climbing up some rock and then starts to slide down. “How am I here and how did I survive?” He asked But once he finds a sign he walks over to it and sees a path “Ponyville? The hell is that? Must be a town” he said walking forward. John adjusts his hat looking up at the sky seeing the nice blue sky, the grass, flowers blooming. The bunnies hop around as deer eat the wheat off the ground but soon runs away as John walks by dusting himself off a bit. But then the wind blows his hat off of his head landing on the floor as some dirt lands on it. A hand picks up a hat as he looks at it “how did that get here? I thought I gave it to…” the man soon gasped hearing himself. Not coughing and his body doesn’t hurt that badly, plus he feels heathy. The sickness, it’s gone? ‘But how?’ He thinks looking at his hands. “Where is that snake!?” He soon said looking around pulling his revolver out. But no luck, he not here, no one is here Dutch, the Pinkerton or even Micah. Arthur soon puts his weapon away not seeing anything wrong but then pays more attention seeing the area he was at. ‘Must be near strawberry’ he thinks walking around, but soon taking a minute he soon feels hungry and notices some animals around “better get my strength back and have some damn food!” He says reaching back for his revolver again. He sees a big rabbit sit there, he walks slowly raising his revolver and aims down sights… *BANG* As Arthur picks the bunny he laughed lightly before stopping to see a deer stand and looks at him. He stops and stands still as the deer looked at him, but then the deer slowly walks away giving the man the sent of déjà vu, he hears a twig snap making him pull his revolver out again and turns quickly dropping the rabbit and aims to- “Arthur?” He stops and stands still nearly dropping his gun as he takes a second to see if it’s true “Marston?” A moment ago John continued more on the path wondering on what his family is doing and how things are doing. “Uncle… he gone too, but if I am here maybe he is around” he said before then getting the thought “Abigail, Jack… don’t worry I’ll be home soon” he says before he hears the sounds of a loud bang. Not to far from the path he could see what looks to be a tiny camp of some kind could be someone there that he can talk just for some help. Slowly as he walks to the camp he takes one step at a time but then sees the man makes him step one more time on a twig. The man drops the rabbit and turns around pointing his revolver at John but then stops as he sees him. “Arthur?” “Marston?” John takes a moment and rubs his face and looks again and it’s true, it’s him “but I though you…” he stops as he laughed lightly hugged him like it’s been forever seeing him, John just stands there speechless “but I thought you were?” “Dead? Nah… or maybe… I don’t know. But that don’t matter” he said looking at him up and down and noticed “you look older the last time I saw you? The hell happened?” He said walking over to pick up the rabbit. “Well… uh you died” he said Arthur stops for a second before he picks the rabbis up and sits down before looking up at John “sit. And… tell me what has happened” John walks around a bit before he explains the years that has happen. He first tells him that Micah and Dutch along with Bill are dead. But his hiding was in jeopardy after getting caught by Edger Ross. He tells him that he wanted Dutch dead and so they made him do the dirty work for the Pinkerton. But in the end he was tricked and murdered by Ross. “That’s a lot to take in… Dutch is gone, but Abigail and Jack what about them?” Arthur asked as John looked down “I don’t know… after uncle was killed I told them to run away, there were after me anyway” he says looking back up. Arthur soon takes his bite of rabbit and thinks on what to say “so uh what happened to my stuff I gave you?” He said John soon then takes his hat off “well your hat had been placed on your stone after I killed Micah. But for your satchel I finished all the things you never did after your passed. But I did keep the journal” He said taking the satchel off and hands it to Arthur. He looks at it and sees the age has done to it ‘he was not kidding’ he thinks before he puts the satchel on as he looks back at John “well now what?” He said as he continued on his rabbit. “The the first thing is to find a town, now I did find a sign leads to a town called Ponyville” he said “Ponyville? The hell kind of name is that?” Arthur said “Don’t know don’t care. I need to find Abigail that all matters for me” he said before standing up “so do you want to come with me? Or do you wish to stay?” He offered Arthur looks away thinking about Abigail and the young boy Jack who is probably grown up a bit before he looks up and nods “sure, definitely John” he said as he stands John and Arthur soon shake hands as they get up and kill the fire. The duo soon leave the forest and follow the path as they make their way to town. “Hey John? Got any other stories you done?” Arthur said “Yeah I do have some. But what to pick… oh I got this strange one that nearly felt like a dream… there was a time where people were coming back to life and were eating other humans alive… it felt like a nightmare but it seamed to real to believe” “Okay now I do think you’re full of shit” Arthur laughed Whitehall makes John laugh too as they continue onward. “We got a problem!” A big brute said running down the hall trying to keep the bag of money together. He stops to see the boss who stops to look at the big dog “what is it Shigy?” The boss dog said “We got some kind of beast killing our group they know about the robbery!” He said making the boss stop and walks out “it can’t be” he said as he finds his bodyguard dead with a hole on his head “he has found us gents” he said before he grabs the grunt fur “now get the money out of here and don’t stop running… GO!” He shouts and the dog nods before he runs away but soon a loud bang rings in the cave and the dog falls over dead. “You all won’t be leaving” the stranger said making the first of the dogs growl looking at the being. He slowly spins the weapon and puts it back in his holster as he looks at the diamond dogs. “So you found us? Good cus I have been waiting to rip your throat for the amount of grunts you have killed!” The boss said “Maybe you should have never killed so many ponies” he said “Well then what do you want now bounty hunter?” The boss said The hand covered in red cloth grabs the revolver “now you will pay on what you’ve done” he and grabs his revolver and fires so fast that all the grunts around the boss fall down dead. The boss grunts in pain as his leg bleeds before looking up at Red Harlow who aims the gun at him. They both say nothing as he fires the last bullet to the head killing the boss. Red drops the bag of money in front of a group of ponies who gasped and soon cheer. “Thank you Mr. Harlow! Is there anything we can repay you?” Red said nothing and slowly walks away “I don’t need your money… but all I ask is to keep your people safe…” he says before he slowly walks away towards the sun set. Red Harlow looks back at the resident tiling his hat and soon walks away making way back to canterlot. Death was the calling to all but their purpose will soon be called to all three of the cowboys. But now in the word of Equestria the journey of Arthur Morgan, John Marston, and Red Harlow begins. Stay turned next time on Red dead redemption the legends!

Chapter 2 Needing some restView OnlineRed dead redemption: the LegendsChapter 2 Needing some restAs they continued their journey, Arthur couldn't help but voice his curiosity. "So, any idea on what this town is like?" he asked, his tone tinged with anticipation. John shook his head. "Don't know, Arthur. We'll both have to see for ourselves now, won't we?" he replied, his own curiosity piqued by the prospect of discovering a new place. Their steps carried them onward until they reached the top of a hill, where Ponyville came into view. The sight took their breath away - a town of wonders nestled amidst the rolling hills and lush greenery. Arthur halted abruptly, causing John to pause and follow his gaze. "Okay, now I'm sick again," Arthur muttered, his unease evident as he reached for his binoculars, eager to get a closer look at the town below. Arthur lowered the binoculars, his brow furrowed in confusion. "Well, I'll be damned," he muttered, his voice tinged with disbelief. "Talking horses... selling apples? I must've hit my head harder than I thought." John shared in Arthur's bewilderment, his expression mirroring his friend's confusion. "I reckon we've wandered into some kind of dream, Arthur," he remarked, scratching his head in bemusement. "Or maybe we've finally lost our minds." Arthur voiced the question that had been nagging at both of them. "Where are the people?" he asked, scanning the town once more with a puzzled expression. John shrugged, handing the binoculars back to Arthur. "I think I'm starting to get it," he replied cryptically, prompting Arthur to look at him expectantly. "These are not horses. They are ponies, since the town is called..." "Ponyville," they both groaned simultaneously, realizing the significance of the town's name and the peculiar inhabitants they had encountered. "Well, what the hell do we do?" Arthur demanded, his frustration evident in his voice as he turned to John for answers. John paused for a moment, deep in thought as he considered their options. Finally, he looked up at Arthur with a determined expression. "We walk into town. Get some help," he declared, his resolve firm as he rose to his feet, ready to face whatever strange circumstances awaited them in Ponyville. Arthur's worry was palpable as they continued along the path, his unease growing with each step. "This ain't gonna work, Marston," he muttered, his voice tinged with apprehension. John glanced back at him, catching the concern etched on Arthur's face. "You're sure about this?" Arthur pressed, seeking reassurance in the face of uncertainty. John met Arthur's gaze squarely, his expression resolute. "This is not a robbery, Arthur. We left that behind," he reminded him, his tone firm. "But if you have second doubts, then I guess you should go live in the forest," he added, his words carrying a hint of frustration as they neared the outskirts of Ponyville. Arthur fell silent, grappling with his inner doubts as they approached the town. Though his worries lingered, he knew that he had come too far to turn back now. With a deep breath, he steeled himself for whatever lay ahead, ready to face the unknown alongside his steadfast companion, John Marston. John couldn't help but chuckle at Arthur's lack of faith in their plan, his amusement evident in the twinkle of his eyes. Memories of old friends flashed through his mind, momentarily distracting him from their current predicament. His laughter subsided as he noticed a gray pony up ahead, their presence a stark reminder of the surreal reality they found themselves in. "Five bucks bet they're gonna run away," Arthur quipped, breaking the momentary silence and prompting John to roll his eyes in exasperation. With a wry smile, John shook his head at Arthur's jest, his mind focused on the task at hand as they approached the pony. Whatever challenges lay ahead, they would face them together, their bond as strong as ever amidst the strangeness of Ponyville. John nodded at Arthur's silent signal, taking the lead as they approached the grey pony. Clearing his throat, John addressed the pony politely, "Excuse me, sir?" Before John could say another word, the pony vanished in a flash, leaving behind only a startled exclamation. "INTRUDERS, EVERYPONY RUN INSIDE!!!" echoed through the air before fading away. "Well, you owe me five bucks," Arthur remarked, a hint of amusement in his voice as he turned to John. "Did he say 'everypony'?" John questioned, his brow furrowing in confusion at the peculiar choice of words. "The fact that horse just talked was surprising too," Arthur added with a chuckle, earning another eye roll from John as they ventured further into the now deserted town. Together, they braved the eerie silence, ready to confront whatever mysteries awaited them in Ponyville. Arthur and John made their way through the town, they took in the surreal sights around them - shops, houses, and even a treehouse and a giant cupcake house. Approaching one of the houses, John knocked on the door, hoping to make contact with one of the residents. "Hello?" he called out, waiting for a response. "Woof woof!... Did it work?" came the unexpected reply from the other side of the door. John sighed in frustration, shaking his head as he turned back to Arthur. "Well, they're dumb," he remarked, his irritation evident in his tone, though Arthur couldn't help but laugh lightly at the absurdity of the situation. Undeterred by their lack of success, John continued onward with Arthur by his side. However, when they reached the treehouse, a sense of determination washed over Arthur. With a glance exchanged between them, Arthur stepped forward and knocked on the door, eager to try their luck once more. As they awaited a response, a male voice called out from inside the treehouse, signaling that someone was indeed home. "Well, I guess it was just you," Arthur joked, earning a flat response from John. "Shut up," John retorted tersely, his patience wearing thin. The door creaked open, revealing a tiny purple figure standing before them. Arthur and John exchanged a bemused glance before the purple figure spoke up. "Oh, hello... uh, have you come here for help?" he asked, his voice tinged with curiosity as he observed the two men standing before him. Both Arthur and John nodded in affirmation, their expressions hopeful as they awaited assistance from this unexpected encounter in Ponyville. "Well, Twilight is out right now, so uh, maybe come on in and I'll see what I can do," Spike offered, gesturing for John and Arthur to enter the treehouse. As he disappeared inside, he stuck his head out again. "By the way, names Spike," he added before fully retreating. John and Arthur exchanged a glance before shrugging and following Spike inside. Crouching slightly to accommodate the cramped space filled with books and assorted objects, they found themselves in what appeared to be a library. "Welcome to the library, mister...?" Spike prompted, his tone friendly as he awaited their introductions. "Arthur," he replied, nodding in acknowledgment. "John," John added, offering a brief nod of his own. "Right, here, take a seat and let me send a letter," Spike instructed, pulling out a piece of parchment and a quill before starting to write. John and Arthur complied, finding seats in the crowded space and settling in, their curiosity piqued as they waited to see what would happen next. "He seems friendly," John remarked, leaning back in his seat with a sense of relaxation. Arthur nodded in agreement, but couldn't shake his curiosity. "But... what the hell is he?" he wondered aloud. John shrugged once more, equally puzzled by the creature they had encountered. Their questions were soon answered as Spike returned, clearing his throat nervously before addressing them. "So, uh, are you guys humans?" Spike asked, his voice tinged with uncertainty. "Yeah. What are you?" Arthur inquired, his curiosity getting the better of him. "Well, I am a dragon!" Spike declared proudly, causing John to sit up a bit, his interest instantly piqued. "A dragon? Hell, I remember Jack talking about stuff like that! Wait, you're really a dragon?" John exclaimed, unable to hide his surprise at the revelation. Spike nodded, a small smirk playing on his lips as he puffed out a bit of fire from his mouth, confirming his identity as a dragon. John fell silent, his mind undoubtedly racing with thoughts of Jack and their past adventures together. He turned away, gazing out of the window with a distant expression. Noticing John's distraction, Arthur spoke up. "Marston, you alive?" he asked, concern evident in his voice. John remained silent for a brief moment before finally speaking up. "We're in a different world?" he questioned, turning his attention back to Spike, seeking confirmation of their situation. Spike nodded in response. "Yeah, the last human that showed up here was about a month ago," he confirmed, his words sinking in as John and Arthur grappled with the reality of their newfound predicament in this strange and fantastical world. Arthur's curiosity peaked as he listened to Spike's explanation. "There's another human here?" he queried, his interest piqued. Spike nodded in affirmation. "Yes, he's a very busy guy. He loves collecting bounties and deals with crime a lot," Spike elaborated, offering insight into the other human's activities in Ponyville. John wasted no time in asking the next question. "Where is he now?" he inquired, eager to learn more about their fellow human resident in this mysterious world. As Red reached the top of the hill and caught sight of Canterlot in the distance, a sense of familiarity washed over him. Another bounty awaited him, as it always did. He sighed, resigning himself to the cycle of his life as a bounty hunter. The absence of horses in this world made travel slower, but Red found solace in the cool breeze that brushed against his skin. Twilight's promise of finding a solution for faster travel offered a glimmer of hope amidst the challenges of navigating this unfamiliar world. With a determined stride, Red continued on his journey, ready to face whatever bounties awaited him in Canterlot, his resolve unwavering as he embraced the adventures that lay ahead. As Red sighed, resigning himself to the interruption in his journey, a chariot flew down before him. A guard emerged, addressing him with urgency. "Mister Harlow! The princess wants to see you immediately!" the guard exclaimed. Red groaned inwardly, but complied nonetheless, climbing into the chariot and settling in for the journey. As the chariot took off and soared through the sky towards Canterlot, Red couldn't help but wonder about the reason for Princess Celestia's summons. His thoughts raced with possibilities as he leaned back and allowed himself a moment of rest during the flight. Upon landing, Red wasted no time in disembarking and making his way into the castle. With a sense of anticipation mingled with apprehension, he braced himself for whatever problem awaited him, ready to face it head-on as he entered the presence of Princess Celestia. Red entered the throne room, his gaze meeting Princess Celestia's welcoming smile as she stood to greet him. "Ah, Harlow, you made it. Good," she remarked, her tone warm as she descended the steps. "What is it?" Red asked, his demeanor straightforward and businesslike. Celestia paused, clearing her throat before motioning to a young student who approached with a nervous smile. "Uh, Mister Harlow?" she began tentatively. "Just Harlow or Red," he corrected gently, his expression softening as he addressed the student. Taking a deep breath, the student pulled out a letter and explained the problem. "My assistant Spike sent a letter explaining that... more humans have arrived in our world," she revealed, her voice tinged with concern. Red's brow furrowed in disbelief as he processed Twilight's words. "More humans?" he repeated, his tone tinged with incredulity as he turned his gaze back to her, seeking confirmation. Twilight nodded, her nervousness evident as she fumbled for words. "Uh... there are more humans here," she confirmed, her voice quivering slightly as she retrieved another letter and began to read its contents aloud. Red listened attentively as Twilight relayed the contents of Spike's letter. His mind raced with thoughts of Arthur Morgan and John Marston, two names that resonated deeply with him. Despite his initial skepticism, Red couldn't deny the possibility that these newcomers might indeed be his fellow compatriots from his own world. Red contemplated the situation, memories of his past encounters with humans flooded his mind. It had been nearly a year since he had last seen one, and the prospect of their sudden appearance in this world intrigued him. "How long ago did you receive this?" Red inquired, his voice tinged with concern. "Hours ago," Celestia replied, her tone calm yet attentive. "I hope nothing too bad has happened," Twilight added, her own worry evident in her voice. Red nodded, his determination renewed. "I'll go see about it," he affirmed, turning to leave. "Then take Twilight with you. They are at her home, so she can be a companion on your way," Celestia suggested, her wisdom guiding her decision. "My student, I wish you the best of luck. And bring me the two humans back so I can see them myself," Celestia requested, her gaze unwavering as she bestowed her blessings upon Twilight. Twilight nodded in acknowledgement, galloping to catch up with Red as he made his way back to Ponyville, their mission clear and their resolve unwavering as they set out to confront the mysteries that awaited them. Red sits in chariot while Twilight writes some things down on a page, he looks at her asking “what’s that?” Twilight looked up from her writing as Red questioned the purpose of the list she was compiling. "It's a list of questions that Celestia wants me to ask the new humans," she explained, her tone carrying a sense of urgency as she continued jotting down notes. Red nodded in understanding, his curiosity piqued. "What kind of questions?" he asked, leaning in slightly to catch a glimpse of the parchment. Twilight paused, considering his question before responding. "Questions about where they're from, how they arrived here, and what they know about our world," she elaborated, her focus shifting back to her task at hand. “Red… are you okay?” Twilight's voice broke through Red's introspection, her concern evident as she posed the question. Red met her gaze, grappling with the whirlwind of emotions that stirred within him. He had spent so long immersed in the life of a bounty hunter in this world, but the sudden appearance of more humans had left him feeling unsettled and uncertain. For a moment, Red remained silent, searching for the right words to convey the complexity of his feelings. Finally, he sighed heavily, his resolve firming as he gathered his thoughts. "The last time I saw humans was nearly a year ago," he began, his voice tinged with a mixture of apprehension and introspection. "I've been focused on my work as a bounty hunter, navigating the challenges of this world. But now, with more humans appearing out of the blue... I don't know how to respond to this," he admitted, his tone reflecting his inner turmoil. Twilight listened intently, her expression sympathetic as she absorbed Red's words. She reached out a reassuring hoof, offering him support in this moment of uncertainty. "It's okay, Red. We'll figure this out together," she reassured him, her voice gentle yet steadfast. Red nodded, grateful for her understanding. With Twilight by his side, he felt a glimmer of hope amidst the uncertainty, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead as they approached Ponyville and the mysteries that awaited them. Red acknowledged Twilight's reassurance with a nod, grateful for her support in this moment of uncertainty. As she mentioned that Princess Celestia had provided additional resources to help them navigate the situation, Red felt a surge of gratitude towards their benevolent ruler. Settling back into his seat, Red closed his eyes briefly, allowing himself a moment of respite. Fatigue weighed heavily on him, and he knew that he would need all of his energy when he finally met Arthur Morgan and John Marston. 'Arthur Morgan, John Marston,' he mused silently to himself, the names echoing in his mind as Twilight resumed reading her notes. In the quiet moments of rest, Red found solace, knowing that he would need to be fully prepared when the time came to confront the newcomers. The anticipation hung thick in the air as Red Harlow and Twilight made their way to Ponyville, their minds filled with questions and uncertainties about the arrival of the new humans. Meanwhile, John Marston and Arthur Morgan stood in the heart of Ponyville, their own thoughts racing as they awaited the arrival of Red and Twilight. As the paths of these three cowboys converged, each faced their own choices and challenges. John and Arthur, accustomed to a life of survival and hardship, would need to navigate this unfamiliar world and its inhabitants with caution and adaptability. Meanwhile, Red, a seasoned bounty hunter with a mysterious past, grappled with the implications of encountering fellow humans in a realm beyond his comprehension. As their destinies intertwined, the stage was set for an epic confrontation, where alliances would be forged, secrets unveiled, and the true nature of their journey revealed. The tale of Red Dead Redemption: The Legends had only just begun, and the cowboys stood poised on the brink of a new adventure filled with danger, discovery, and redemption. What lies ahead for these three legendary figures? Only time would tell, but one thing was certain – their paths were destined to collide in ways they could never have imagined. Stay tuned for the next chapter in the saga of Red Dead Redemption: The Legends, where the true test of their mettle would unfold in the untamed wilderness of Ponyville.
Chapter 3 questions and answersView OnlineRed dead redemption: the LegendsChapter 3 questions and answersAs Arthur roused from his nap, John greeted him with a playful jab, drawing a grunt from the groggy cowboy. Accepting the glass of water offered by Spike, they both eagerly downed its contents, refreshing themselves from their brief rest. "I could go for a beer," Arthur remarked, his longing for a cold drink evident in his tone. "No," John replied curtly, knowing that alcohol was not the solution to their current situation. Spike settled in beside them, attempting to initiate conversation as he observed the items holstered at their sides. His curiosity piqued, he gestured towards their weapons, a hint of intrigue in his voice. "So, uh... what do you two do for a living?" he inquired, his gaze lingering on their holsters. Spike's curiosity was piqued as he pointed towards Arthur's gun, his eyes lingering on the weapon with interest. "What is that?" he asked, his tone filled with curiosity. Arthur glanced at where Spike was pointing before turning his gaze back to the dragon. "It's my gun," he replied simply, setting his glass down with a clink before offering Spike a direct answer. "It's our weapon to protect ourselves from whoever tries to... give us a bad time," he explained, his voice carrying a hint of gravitas as he emphasized the importance of their firearms for self-defense. As the door creaked open, Arthur and John turned their attention towards the sound, only to be greeted by the sight of a lively, pink-haired pony trotting into the room, humming a cheerful tune. "Oh, Twilight! You home?" she called out, her voice filled with excitement. Spotting Spike, the pony paused in her tracks, her eyes widening in surprise. "Oh, Spiky! Have you seen Twilight? I was looking for a cookbook for... magical... cupcakes," she trailed off, her gaze shifting towards the two humans seated in the room. With a sense of wonderment and trepidation, Pinkie Pie leaned in towards Spike, her voice barely above a whisper. "Are those humans?" she asked, her curiosity palpable. Spike nodded slowly, his heart pounding in his chest as he confirmed Pinkie Pie's suspicions. Before he could say anything else, however, Pinkie Pie's demeanor shifted in an instant, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she bounded over to Arthur and John, bursting into song to welcome them with open arms. Caught off guard by the sudden burst of energy, Arthur and John exchanged bemused glances, unsure of how to react to the exuberant display unfolding before them. As Pinkie Pie's song filled the room. As Pinkie Pie's barrage of questions came to a halt, Spike attempted to interject, but Pinkie Pie's enthusiasm proved difficult to contain. However, Arthur took matters into his own hands, standing up and gently restraining the excitable pony. "Wait, Pinky! Twilight is going to be here with Red. Keep it—" Spike began, but was cut off by Pinkie Pie's exuberant outburst of joy. Arthur's firm grip on Pinkie Pie brought her antics to a halt, and he fixed her with a steady gaze. "Are you calm?" he asked, his tone firm but not unkind. Pinkie Pie nodded slowly, her eyes wide with surprise at the sudden interruption of her antics. "Good," Arthur said simply, releasing his hold on her and settling back into his seat. Pinkie Pie took a deep breath, visibly calming herself down before addressing Arthur and John with a friendly smile. "Sorry about that. My name is Pinkie Pie, and I'm glad to see more humans!" she exclaimed, her enthusiasm undiminished despite the brief interruption. Arthur introduced himself and John to Pinkie Pie, gesturing towards his companion, who was still recovering from the loud welcome. "I'm Arthur, and this is John," Arthur said, indicating Marston, who had finally uncovered his ears and was now listening intently to the conversation. "So, what's going on?" Pinkie Pie asked Spike, her curiosity piqued by the mention of Twilight and Red Harlow. "Like I said, Pinky, Twilight and Red Harlow are on their way here," Spike replied, reiterating his earlier explanation. As Spike spoke, John sat up straighter, his attention fully captured by the mention of the name "Red Harlow." A memory from his childhood flashed before his eyes, of himself and Arthur sitting next to each other as Dutch read them a book. As the memory unfolded in John's mind, he found himself transported back to a time when he and Arthur were just boys under Dutch's care. "What do you boys want to read tonight?" Dutch asked, pulling out a selection of books. Arthur, ever relaxed even in his youth, reclined on his bed, contemplating the options. Meanwhile, John eagerly pointed to a red book, prompting a chuckle from Dutch. Clearing his throat, Dutch read the title aloud: "Red Harlow and the Bandit Caves." The mention of Red Harlow, a legendary figure in their childhood tales, sparked a sense of nostalgia and excitement in both John and Arthur, as they eagerly anticipated another adventure within the pages of the book. "Red Harlow," both boys echoed in unison, their young voices filled with excitement and anticipation. Taking their seats, John and Arthur listened eagerly as Dutch began to read from the book. As the tale of Red Harlow and his adventures unfolded before them, they were transported to a world of excitement, danger, and heroism, where anything seemed possible. With each turn of the page, their imaginations soared, fueled by Dutch's vivid storytelling and the thrilling exploits of the legendary gunslinger. In that moment, the bond between the two boys grew stronger as they shared in the joy of adventure and the wonder of the unknown, all under the watchful guidance of their mentor, Dutch. As the name "Red Harlow" echoed in John's head, he couldn't shake the memories that flooded his mind. Lost in thought, he stared at the floor, his mind racing with fragments of the past. Suddenly, John's reverie was interrupted by Arthur's wave of his hand and his exclamation, "Red Harlow?" John's outburst startled Pinkie and Spike, who exchanged surprised glances. "What? Red Harlow, the old story Dutch used to read to us?" Arthur continued, his tone incredulous as he tried to make sense of John's sudden outburst. John's words jolted Arthur out of his amusement, and he regarded his friend with a mixture of surprise and skepticism. "Did you hear him? He said Red is coming here," John insisted, his tone serious as he tried to convey the significance of the revelation. Arthur couldn't help but chuckle at John's insistence. "Alright, Marston, now I know you're sick. The world's greatest bounty hunter is real?" he scoffed, shaking his head in disbelief. However, Arthur's laughter faded as he noticed Spike's discomfort, the dragon's attempt to avoid the topic not going unnoticed. Sensing there might be more to the situation, Arthur's expression shifted, and he cleared his throat, his curiosity piqued. Arthur's laughter subsided as Spike's action sank in, his expression turning serious as he processed the implications. "Wait, he's real? I thought he was..." Arthur's sentence trailed off, his thoughts racing as he grappled with the revelation. Before Arthur could voice his thoughts, the door swung open, revealing a new arrival—a purple pony with a horn, unmistakably Twilight Sparkle. She took in the scene before her, her eyes widening as she noticed Arthur and John. "Twilight, these are Arthur and John," Spike introduced, breaking the tense silence that had settled over the room. "They're humans, and they knew Red Harlow." As Twilight entered, followed by the distinct sound of steps that were neither hooves nor the light trot of a pony, the atmosphere grew tense. The room fell silent as all eyes turned towards the newcomer, anticipation hanging thick in the air. And there he stood, in all his glory: Red Harlow. Arthur and John's simultaneous exclamation echoed through the room, reverberating with a mixture of disbelief and recognition. Red remained silent, his gaze steady as he regarded the two humans before him. Adjusting the red cloth adorning his attire, he rested his hand on his belt, an aura of rugged determination emanating from him. Though bearing the marks of time in the form of scars, he still possessed the same air of resilience and strength as depicted in the tales. As Arthur and John rose to their feet and extended their hands in greeting, a sense of awe and disbelief washed over them. "He is real," Arthur muttered, his voice filled with wonder, echoed by John's silent agreement. With a slow, almost reverent handshake, Arthur and John greeted Red Harlow, their eyes wide with disbelief as they stepped back, still trying to process the surreal encounter. "I'm guessing you all know who I am?" Red's voice broke the stunned silence, his gaze steady as he addressed them. "More than you maybe... but what... or even how the hell are you real?" Arthur's voice trembled slightly with incredulity as he struggled to articulate the questions racing through his mind. Twilight, sensing the gravity of the moment, quietly took out her notebook, ready to record the unfolding conversation as Arthur began to explain their confusion and disbelief. Arthur's voice faltered as he struggled to articulate the weight of disbelief and confusion pressing upon him. "You're the real Red Harlow... you've been dead for years, you were the world's greatest bounty hunter! And had stories named after you that might possibly not be true but..." His words trailed off as he struggled to find coherence in the maelstrom of thoughts swirling within him. Red's gaze remained steady, but a shadow seemed to flicker across his features as Arthur spoke. Without lifting his eyes, he posed a simple yet poignant question: "What year was it?" John and Arthur offered conflicting years, Red's expression remained unreadable, though a furrow formed between his brows. "What year would it be if I was dead?" he repeated, his tone even. "1899," Arthur asserted with certainty, while John countered with "1911," his voice tinged with equal conviction. Red's gaze shifted between the two humans, a sense of puzzlement flickering in his eyes. "How odd these people are from a farther time?" he mused inwardly. The implications of their words began to sink in. If what they claimed was true, it defied all logical explanation. No way Red would have survived that long. Yet, the undeniable truth of their presence begged the question: why were they here? Arthur and John exchanged a meaningful glance, silently acknowledging the gravity of the situation. Meanwhile, Twilight continued to jot down notes, her focus unwavering. Pinkie Pie, ever the embodiment of cheerfulness, trotted up to Red with a bright smile, oblivious to the weight of the conversation unfolding around her. "Hi Red! It's good to see you back in Ponyville!" Pinkie greeted with her usual exuberance. "These ponies know you... how long have you been here?" John inquired, his voice tinged with curiosity. "Almost a year," Red replied simply, offering no further elaboration. The weight of the revelation hung heavy in the air, and John and Arthur lapsed into a contemplative silence, each lost in their own thoughts. Pinky, undeterred by the solemn atmosphere, tapped Red's leg with a cheerful invitation. "Hey, wanna get a cupcake?" she chirped. Red nodded gratefully, welcoming the distraction. Sensing his need for a moment alone, he offered a brief apology to Twilight, who nodded understandingly. As Red and Pinkie departed, Twilight trotted over to join the two cowboys, her expression thoughtful as she mulled over the implications of Red's unexpected return and the arrival of these enigmatic visitors from another time. "Well, I guess you know who he is. Why don't I introduce myself? Hi, my name is Twilight Sparkle," she said, extending a hoof in greeting. "Arthur." "John." They exchanged introductions before settling back down, prepared for more questions. Twilight pulled out her notes and explained that their ruler, Princess Celestia, was eager to welcome the humans and learn more about them. She added that they would be expected to meet with Celestia at the appropriate time. Arthur and John, though slightly annoyed by the interruption, nodded in acknowledgment and told Twilight to proceed with her questions. They were ready to provide answers and see where this unexpected encounter would lead them. The cave lay silent, veiled in darkness, save for the flickering flame of a torch carried by a single hooded pony. As the pony advanced deeper into the cavern, its hoofsteps echoed softly against the rocky walls. Upon reaching a shrine nestled within the depths of the cave, the pony lowered its head in prayer, invoking blessings upon its master. Gradually, more figures emerged from the shadows, their forms cloaked in darkness as they converged around the central figure. Among them, a dark red pony stood apart, observing the proceedings with an air of solemnity. At length, the dark red pony stepped forward, its voice cutting through the hushed atmosphere of the cave. The hooded figure's words hung heavy in the air, a mixture of anticipation and uncertainty swirling among the gathered members. As the elder one approached, her presence commanded respect, casting a long shadow over the assembly. "More humans have arrived," she murmured, her voice carrying the weight of ages past. "Yet whether they possess the power to bring him back remains to be seen." The members looked up at her with a mixture of reverence and trepidation, awaiting her command. The cavern echoed with the fervent cries of the gathered ponies, their devotion to their master unwavering. As the elder one issued her command, the atmosphere crackled with anticipation, each member poised to carry out their orders with unwavering determination. With a flash of magic, they vanished into the ether, leaving behind only the echo of their fervent chants. Alone in the cavern, the elder one gazed upon the statue with a mixture of reverence and longing, her eyes alight with the fervor of a zealot awaiting the dawn of a new age. The stage is set for an intriguing tale of intersecting destinies and unfolding mysteries. With the enigmatic Red Harlow in their midst, Arthur and John find themselves embroiled in a world beyond their wildest imaginations. As they navigate the whimsical yet perilous realm of Equestria, Twilight Sparkle seeks to unravel the secrets that bind them together. Meanwhile, sinister forces conspire in the shadows, their nefarious plans shrouded in darkness. The elder one and her followers harbor dark ambitions, seeking to unleash an ancient evil upon the world. Can our heroes thwart their sinister schemes and prevent the impending catastrophe? Join us next time as the saga continues to unfold, and the legends of Red Dead Redemption come to life in a world unlike any other.
Chapter 4 drinksView OnlineRed dead redemption: the LegendsChapter 4 drinksRed slumps in chair as he waits for something to happen, he has not felt like this in a while but seeing human after so long making him remember on how he arrived here nearly a year ago. He wish he did not want to think about it, a pony named Lyra nearly got shot for bothering Red when he was found. Red slowly calms a bit down and then sees Pinky sit next to him “you okay Ready?” She asked He still hates the nickname but know that won’t stop her from saying it so he just grunts before shifting a bit as Pinky gets close “you can tell me?” She said Red soon looks away not focusing on her as she talks and talks, but after she was done Red finally said something “who are they? And how did they know me more then I do?” He said “Oh the game or in the lore?” Pinky said Not paying much attention he gets up and grabs a cup and walks out the door with the glass empty with two bits in it. He know that the one way to know is to bite the bullet and ask. After long list of questions finally it was over and now both cowboys are greeted on some laws that must be followed, John had no mind since he doesn’t care but for Arthur it’s kinda hard for him hating the rich royalty. But then thinking on Harlow begging here for just a second makes him look at Twilight before scratching his beard “so how did The great Red Harlow get here? And shouldn’t he be dead?” Arthur asked as John looks at the purple pony “Well Red was founded by one pony and has been… well been around for almost a year” Twilight said “Do you know what he does?” John said Twilight scratch behind her head and blurts “well knowing you guys, he would do bounty hunting” she said not trying to sound rude. Arthur and John look at each other before looking back at her “you have bounty?” Arthur says standing up “Now I wouldn’t say but uh. Look I’ve tried to help Red with his problem but he is never here and is always out to other side of the land just to find someone to ether hurt or uh…” Twilight stops thinking on the word before Arthur crossed his arms “kill?” He says “Yeah yeah, but more friendly not violence” she says “Look pony. The world is never perfect here or wherever, if you have loved ones you will do anything to keep them safe, even if it leads to death” John said Twilight nods looking at the floor before putting the list of questions in her bag before knowing she looks at the cowboys “you know death don’t you?” She said making them look away. “Yes… we’ve seen it, and it did happen” Arthur says looking a John as he looks back at him “we have some how avoided it” John said thinking at the last moment, so many family members died, even Arthur was family too. It I wasn’t for him John would have never made it long. John sighed before the door opens with Red back before slowly walking in “you are real” John says “You keep saying that? Why what year was it when you were there?” Red said this time sitting down “1899” Arthur said “1911” John said ‘That long? Have I been dead for that long’ Red thinks before he puts it to the side “okay then so it’s been a while but, who are you too really?” Red said “I’m Arthur Morgan and this is John Marston. We have known each other for a long time, since we’re were young” Arthur said “We have done some bad things in our life but in time we found it out the hard way of what we’ve done” John said “Are we good people? Well no, we’ve killed and stole for a living but we’re not monster. We’re human and that how all humans live” Arthur said Red soon gets some old memories of his past, his father, mother, all the people who have helped him. He knew on what people have done the bad and good, even his own job makes him look just as bad but he doesn’t care. “So what’s your tale then Mr. Morgan” he said putting his hands on his belt sitting back on the chair. “Well we’ve talked so much. And I think this calls for a drink” Arthur said “Arthur… not this again” John said as Red stands up “No we’ll do this, it’s a thing us cowboys do” Red said adjusting his glove and hat before the other two stand as well. John sighed as Arthur and Red leave first as Twilight trots next to him “Should we do something?” She asked “No. At this point we wait and see how long it takes to see them drunk” John said Twilight gulps hoping that nothing will be too bad, John and Twilight soon walk out of the house leaving the baby dragon alone for a bit as their journey soon leads to a bar. “You ponies have bars?” He said “Well yes? Do you have bars from your world?” She asked “Yeah but never thought a child like dream world would have alcohol, no offense” John says as the bar was visible up ahead. “None taken, are you also going to drink?” She ask and John shakes his head “nope, someone is gonna have to keep an eye on them, Arthur gets a bit… off some of the time” John said remembering Lenny coming back to camp looking like shit before explaining the… problem. Shaking it off Arthur and Red soon enter in the bar seeing some ponies looking at them past by before finding a stool to sit “two of your strongest bartender” Red said before John and Twilight sit next to them “One cider for my friend here” Twilight said “Cider?” John said “Cider is not strong alcohol, plus Red said that Cider can’t make humans drunk” Twilight said as a mug was slides over to John, he looks at the drink for a second before taking a swig “It takes like… apples?” He says looking at the mug before taking a sip “Yeah one of my friends Applejack has a farm and helps make these” Twilight said explaining “Now those two are busy, we can talk” Red said before grabbing his mug filled with his favorite, Applejack Daniels. Arthur looks at the drink before taking a sip and feels the burning sensation in his mouth, getting the taste of apples with a few other’s ingredients he favors in a drink. Burn, strong, and tasty “Holy… Shit! Now that’s a drink!” Arthur said as Red chuckled lightly before sipping his mug “this world any so bad yeah?” He asked “It’s good so far. But there are something I might have problems with, mainly that whole kingdoms crap” Arthur said “Well their ruler, her name is Celestia… she is Twilights teacher and… my boss” Red said before pulling out a chain necklace with sliver ring on it. “This is my ‘badge’ she gave me. Marking me as paid hunter” Red said “Why did she do that?” Arthur says “At first I tell her my story of what I’ve done, and yet she still welcomes me and makes me a bounty hunter for her” he said “Well I haven’t met her, so who knows, but we’re here for drinks and some stories at least” Arthur said “So Arthur tell me then… what’s your story?” “Me? Well it ain’t much, lost my parents young, joined a gang young, had a family with them. We’ve stolen, killing, and running” Arthur takes a sip before taking breath “Dutch was my father, in a way… he taught me and John to read. Hell he read some book about you!” Arthur said Red takes a swig before nodding for him to go on “but… I never felt betrayed by him, he changed into a thing we swear that wouldn’t be, then more of my brothers and sister… died or ran off” Arthur soon takes a gulp hissing at the burning before breathing lightly “I soon lost him, and John and me were left, alone” Arthur said remembering his last moments after his fight, the light looked ever so bright and the deer that’s watched him, slowly walks away to the sun. “Not all people are not bad people, you may think I’m some kind of fast gunslinging bounty hunter. But I’m not a hero, I’m a human looking to do on what a human would do, revenge” Red said before drinking his mug “I agree to that then, Mr bounty hunter” Arthur said slurring his speaking, before slowly falling back on the floor with Red soon after. “Ha! You owe me ten bits!” John said “Ah great!” Twilight said With Arthur and Red drunk on the floor what will happen next? More stories? Or will there be the unknown coming to make chaos. Stay tuned next time for Red Dead Redemption the legends!
Chapter 5 Welcome to Ponyville (1)View OnlineRed dead redemption: the LegendsChapter 5 Welcome to Ponyville (1)The next day… After the drinks Arthur and Red passed out from the alcohol both the two were dragged out of the bar (before Twilight used her magic to help) and were back at the tree library. Twilight explained to John and Arthur would get the proper tour of the whole Village before they would go up to canterlot. Twilight said that she has a whole list of tasks to do including meeting her friends who have main parts with there tour, a day each for every friend witch will start close in town before far out and the order Twilight says, “Well first meet up with Rarity, she’ll give you a free outfit for both of you. She will need to know your size to help with kinds of suits and other clothing you’ll need” “Then after will meet up the Pinkypie who know some ponies about One what type of food you like and second is to see if your able to be helpful to other ponies with task and duty” “Next would be Rainbow dash with special occasion weather preparation, Rain must be on close check so the wonder bolts will be able clear out unexpected clouds, next would be my all time favorite! Winter. We ponies have a few special things about the winter time with Winter wrap up one most important things” “But next would then be Applejack. She runs a farm too far from here called sweet Apple acres, she runs a shop here with her products, apples. It’s mainly important to help her buck some trees and also some deliveries!” “But then lastly would be Fluttershy, she has a very special relationship with animals so she will know there feeling and thoughts, but do be slow with her, for she is shy” “You got it? Okay!” She said before trotting out the door before waiting for the two. Red gets up before he looks over at them “Arthur, John, it’s good to meet ya, maybe someday when I’m back maybe we can grab a drink” Red said “You leaving?” John says “I have to, princess wanted me here too, “experiencing harmony” and all that bull crap” Red said Arthur smirked before offering a hand “till our path crossed” he said Red looks at the hand before smiling taking the hand shake, Twilight sees it and smiles writing some notes down before Red nods at John then leaving the house. Red walks off in the distance before tipping this hat as then soon disappears around the corner. Arthur and John never thought that a legend would be a pal to them, it’s like a child’s dream coming true. Arthur and John soon fallow Twilight as she shows the town as they make way to the first stop. Carousel Boutique Rarity hums as she uses her magic to bring some fabric here and there knowing about the guest showing up. Sweetie Bell (Rarity’s sister) scoot a roll of fabric on the table setting it in place before trotting up to her “All done sister!” She says grinning happily as Rarity nods at the way she done it before tossing some bits to her “you can go play at Button’s now” she said humming as she bolts out the door shouting out in joy to go play. Not to later the set up was done and a knock at the door makes Rarity trot over and open the door with her magic before bowing at the guest who were humans. “Why hello dear humans, welcome to my beloved Boutique, my name is Rarity how can I be of services for you?” She said before seeing Twilight trot up “hey Rarity I’d like to introduce you to Mr. Morgan and Mr. Marston” she introduced Rarity looks at the too seeing the scars and bruises they have. But there clothes ‘oh my, they’re terrible!!! Even worst than Red?’ She clears her throat as she concentrates on what to say next “so Mr Morgan and Marston how can I be of services?” She asked “What do you mean?” John said “Why, a whole style! A clean up! How long has it been for you to change you clothes?” Rarity said Arthur and John look at each other remembering the long journey they have had. Running from the law, getting shot at, tortured, left on a desert island for a while, cuts, stabs, gun shots… “It’s been a hot minute” Arthur said as Rarity hummed “Mmhmm okay how about I do some measuring for each of you!” She said Arthur and John now think of Trelawny, he had an odd taste of style and hell even made Arthur dress up fancy. He hates it, now some white pony is going to be measuring them who know how long. “So while we get this over with, mind telling me about yourself?” She asked as puts a needle in her mouth “Like what exactly?” Arthur said “Well how on Celestia’s name managed to survive wearing something like this?” Rarity said “I don’t know, guess never did care on the style” He says before his hat was taken off by Rarity’s magic “Hey hey not my hat” Arthur said grabbing it “But it’s covered in dirt, and has some looses stitches, a hat must have some care in it” she said “It’s something special to me” Arthur admits Rarity sighed before smiling slightly “okay then, at least a clean up for it?” She offered Arthur sighed before shrugging “fine, but only a clean” he said as the hat was then placed on the counter as the measuring continues around his body. Soon some blue along with Brown cloth float over to Rarity before she begins to lay them around his body “Now hold still for a good bit” she said before grabbing the needle and adjust her stance. John takes his vest off with his hat also and his boots “that should be it” he said Rarity nods smiling before starting her measurements thinking of a way to start a conversation. “So your friend Arthur, he is a demanding one” she said “Yeah, he is always like that… heh guess it just his way” John said lifting his arms up “Arthur may not the talking type, but he his smart and maybe dumb too” John snickers before dropping his arms. Rarity smiles before thinking on a question “so… how long have you known him?” She asked “What Arthur, well… my whole life basically” he said “We’ve been on the run for so long, and when he… passed he showed me more to living then been a crook… and if ot wasn’t for him, I’ve never see my family again” John said “Well Mr. Marston I think you and Arthur are good hearted people, and it alway matter to show your generosity to others” She said “Question” John asked “Yes dear?” Rarity said “Why did you do this?” John said “What do you mean?” Rarity says stopping her work to look at the man, he looks at her and then shows her work on the clothes he has on “I mean, why help us? Ms Sparkle must have told you on what we’ve done, but yet here we are getting free clothing. Why?” John said “Mr. Marston, Twilight has told me the things you worked hard on to protect. Your family. She said that you died trying to save them and worried if you have done enough, think on this, what is your wife and son are doing?” Rarity said ‘Abigail… Jack… must be devastated… Edger Ross changed the deal, Jack… he might be after him?’ John sighed before relaxing a bit. Rarity smiles satisfied to see him calm as he lifts his arms again as she goes back to measuring. “Thank you Rarity” he said “Anything darling just always remember that I’m always here to help with your clothes” she said before working on his vest. 2 hours of Rarity fixing Arthur and John’s ware and now we’re cleaned up and had help with the measurements for future clothing and others. Twilight waits in the main room reading before seeing Rarity trot out a bit exhausted but with Arthur and John following close all fixed up with all cuts and gunshots all in one piece. “Wow you guys look more cleaner” Twilight said as Rarity smiled at the two “thank you both for your help and also cooperating” she said as the other two nod and thank her back before they bid their farewell to the white pony and soon begin there path to the next pony. “So what do you guys think of Rarity?” Twilight asked “She nice, so helpful” John said “Never thought to see my shirt so fixed” Arthur said “Yeah, maybe next time stop getting into trouble” John said Arthur deadpanned as he looks at his brother “oh you wanna talk? What’s was with all of those wholes in your vest and shirt?” Arthur said John this time spits on the ground “yeah yeah what was with cuts, shots, and tear on your shirt and pants?” John said “Oh I don’t wanna hear it!” Arthur said “Uh guys? Can we continue?” Twilight said “Yeah I could go for a drink” Arthur said “No” John says right after as Arthur laughed with Twilight as well getting to know more about them. “But other than that I do respect someone who asked first” Arthur said feeling his hat more clean. “Hey Arthur?” “Yeah?” “What do you think Red is doing?” “Don’t know maybe off back to killing bounty’s” Arthur said as they make way through the town meeting some ponies along the way until they stop to see the next stop where a the tall cupcake house was at. Sugar cube corner “And that’s all that has happened” Red said as Celestia nods hearing the information, Luna soon sits down next to her sister before showing the dreams the two have had. “They both dreamt of the past, wanting to see a better life on what they have done, and no we did not interfere with them, we think these two are just as good as Red here” Luna said with Celestia nodding again “Well then I guess they’re green then, Twilight is giving them the tour around Ponyville, once they’re done we’ll see them here and meet these two humans. Until then, Red I have a another bounty for you” Celestia said “Alright then, what do we have?” He asked as him and the sisters all walk out of the room closing the door behind them as they leave… Red is now back to bounty hunting while Arthur and John are taking the tour around town, what is happening next? And what will the duo cowboys do dealing with the crazy pink pony? Stay turned next time on Red dead Redemption: the Legends!
Chapter 5 Welcome to Ponyville (2)View OnlineRed dead redemption: the LegendsChapter 5 Welcome to Ponyville (2)PinkyPie hums as she continues with baking some cakes as of knowing two special humans are coming in with Twilight for the tour of Ponyville. “Oh I think I might need more frosting here!” She said grabbing some yellow frosting before looking at the cookie, smiling at her work before placing some down. Twilight and the cowboys enter in as Pinky quickly shakes all the batter and frosting off her main before happily greeting them both… by singing. Twilight and John sighed as Arthur face palms before all three saying “Not again” As Pinky’s song begins to go faster Arthur makes his moves and slowly picks the pinky pony up again. She stops and looks up at the man seeing his eyes look down into her as she gulps getting easily intimidated by him. “Are you done?” He said in a stern tone as she gulps slowly nodding. Soon he smiles before dropping her as she hops back to her happy mood before making way back to the cakes. Twilight looks at Arthur with jaws dropped as he walks back over to John and her “okay… you need to show me that trick” she said as Arthur laughed a bit “What I just told her to stop that’s all” he said “No… no there was more in that then you think, no pony was able to get her to stop singing” Twilight said Arthur looks at the counter where pinky is grabbing some cakes and cookies trying to find some other things, Arthur looks back at the purple pony “well I guess It’s the way I look to her, I give a serious glare and tell her to stop” he explains as she writes down some notes. John sighed annoyingly as he gets up and waits before seeing Pinky trot back with some trays, John walks over and grabs one to help her. “Thanks Johnny!” She said “Don’t call me that” John deadpanned “Too late Johnny” she said laughing before placing the last tray down before sitting next to Twilight. She soon scoots the trays over to the cowboys letting them see the sugar treats “Have some cookies as I introduce you to Ponyville!” Pinky said “Do you have tobacco?” John said “Nope what’s that?” She asked “Eh never mind” John said before looking at the cookies, taking one and munching on as she explains “So Twilight tells me you both eat meat and Vegetables, well I happen to know everypony here in Ponyville and one pony who sells meat for non ponies!” She said “But I would like to know on what kinds of meat you like and don’t like” she said “Well I guess pork and beef along with Lamb are the three we can stick with” Arthur said grabbing a cookie, he takes a bite and feels the sugar go crazy with some bits of chocolate in it with nuts. He gulps is down and looks at the treat before biting it again. Pinky smiles brightly having another satisfied customer before she looks over to Twilight for her to explain next, she finished writing some things down before looking over to the cowboys “so rounding up all of these amounts of meat you’ll need, it would be over 50 bits to get all, and since your new to our world I’ll let Celestia help start your new lives here” “Yeah new life” John said looking out the window, Pinky sees it and said “you remind me of Ready” she said “Ready?” Arthur says “It’s Red’s nickname silly” she said Pinky looks away as she thinks about the poor soul, it might not be true but she said once that Red told her on how he showed up to equestria, something that she was promised not to take about it to anypony at all, not even twilight! “You both just the same, wanting to go home” she said “I get the feeling Pinky, but let’s not get the too worked up on it, let’s just introduce them to Ponyville right?” Twilight said getting the pony to smile once more. “Your right! No time for being sad! But be happy!” She said John looks at Twilight and she looks at him before whispering “we’ll talk about it later” she whispered before Pinky hops out and soon to the door, opening it letting the group out. Placing the closed sign down she then turns to the group before hopping in front of the group “let’s go head to my friend Butcher, he’ll be the one with stored meat” she said before humming a song as they walk to town. “So if ponies can’t eat meat, why have a meat store here?” John asked “Well Butcher was from the bigger city’s and other races like griffin and manticores live and some of them are omnivores” she said “So Butcher wanted to have a shop here full of meat, so there can be delivery’s all over the place for all to have their meals” she said as they soon enter town’s markets. Ponies of all look at the group and greet with happy faces as continuing to their work hour. Arthur nods at a few before he catches up to pinky “and how did ya meat this shopper?” He asked “Well he was in need of some help with moving from a city, So Red and I helped him, learning that human eat meat and vegetables” she explained “She came and told me after words, but then I tell Celestia afterwards later so that kinda explains on how we’re so prepared for this to happen” Twilight said “So if Red was not here…?” “Then we would have a complete different conversation than Mr. Marston” Twilight said as Pinky laughs before stopping to see the store up ahead. “Arth and Johnny welcome to Stone cold cut!” She said before opening the door. Arthur stops and looks at John before groaning at the nicknames before going inside the shop. It’s cold, colder and a little warm too, as the group walk in a blue and grey colored pony sits there chopping some meat before seeing Pinky and Twilight “Ah Pink and purple hello!” Butcher greets putting his knife away, hugging Pinky tightly before letting the hug go to see the humans before him “I see some more humans aye?” He said “Butch I’d like to introduce you Arthur and John, cowboys from the same word as Red” Twilight said “Ah yes yes welcome humans to my shop! Now I’m guessing this is the whole tour thing you warned me about?” He asked and both the ponies nod. “Ah well well, Greyworth!” Butcher shouts before a Gryphon stumbles out nearly slipping before saluting to his boss “yes sir?” He asked “Be ready for a message order delivery for two humans named Arthur and John okay?” Butcher said The gryphon nods grabbing out a note and pencil “so humans… what the buck you want to have?!” Butch said laughing lightly “Some beef and pork with some lamb should do it for them” Pinkypie said smiling wildly as Greyworth writes the things down before nodding at his boss before he then runs outside flying to his destination. “What was that thing?” John asked “A Gryphon, they have all curtains parts of an animal in them. But they are strong and fast fighters, don’t get on their bad side” Twilight said speaking from experience from a gryphon she wishes not to talk about. “Yeah Greyworth may look like a nice guy but he is one angry bucker! Ha if only you were here yesterday” Butch said laughing up a storm before slowly calming down “Ah… so your order will be here possibly tomorrow. So is you want anything, have the bits. Cause if not… buck off!!! Ha” he said laughing once more as the trio walk out the door. “Well he’s a, interesting guy” John said before Pinky hops over to Arthur “so what now?” He asked “Well my part here is done! But that don’t mean there can still be a party!” She says “A party? Well I reckon some request then” he said “Oh oh tell me!” Pinky said pulling out a note book John chuckled lightly as him and Twilight look at the two talk “Arthur starting to like it here” he said “Yeah. I guess so” Twilight said smiling as Pinky hops even faster as Arthur finished his request, before she hops over to Twilight “okay I've got to get thing ready tomorrow! Thanks Johnny, Thanks Twilight BYE!!!” She said before zooming away. “Maybe this place an’t so bad after all” Arthur said “So what next?” John said Twilight sighs before she takes the lead “well next up is Rainbow Dash, but first, we need to get some things” she said leading them back to the tree house. Couple minutes later “A Hot air balloon?” Arthur said looking at it as Twilight opens the door. John looks at Arthur remembering something a long time ago. “The last time I was in one, nearly died trying to save this fool” Arthur said “Whatever, just get in” John said walking in with Arthur following close behind. As they hold on the balloon begins to slowly lift up high in the sky Twilight stops and looks over the two. “Now they’re only one more thing to do, but I’ll do it once we’re there. Now hang on” she said as they slowly begin to fly up higher until they soon disappear above the clouds. And so the cowboys continue onward to their next tour, what happens next?

A whole area made out of clouds? “I don’t know on who is sick now” Arthur said Cloudsdale Before anything happens Twilight stops Arthur and John before explaining “now there is one safety precaution we alway need to take, and I think I know on who can explain this” she said before looking over to the city seeing a pony with a trail of Rainbow following close before landing in front of the ballon. “Ah good to see you Twilight!” The cyan pony said before lifting her head up posing for the humans making Twilight groan a little. “Hello Humans, my name is the one and only… Rainbow Dash!” Rainbow said “I uh… hello” John said “Hello” Arthur blurts Rainbow chuckles lightly before clearing her throat “now now, I know your both new here but there are some rules, you can follow or not I don’t know” “Rainbow!” Twilight said as the cyan pony rolled her eyes before looking at the humans clearly “but one thing you must know here is that, no other land creature can not touch the ground here” she said tapping her hood on the cloud “Us pegasus can land on cloud. But you both can’t walk on clouds without a spell and lucky you have Twilight” She said “A spell?” Arthur said Twilight clears her throat before looking at the two “yes, I have a spell that can help, But it has a duration, once it’s gone you can fall through the cloud” she explains “Now are you ready?” She asked “Uh sure” John said “Why not” Arthur blurts Twilight soon lowers her horn pointing at the two before a light shows making the both human float up “Woah… I don’t know how to-“ and before Arthur finished he flops to the ground feeling the clouds softness. He lifts his body up coughs the cloud out making Rainbow laugh. “Shut up…” Arthur said embarrassed a bit before standing up feeling the cloud, John slowly follows close stepping on the cloud before he sighs “I’ve done lots of things, and this… this is crazy!” He said “You should see both of your faces!” Rainbow says laughing some more, Arthur adjust his hat before spitting on the cloud “now I don’t wanna hear it from you, Rainbow Crash” Arthur said making the Pegasus stop and frown at the cowboy before flying up close “Oh yeah wanna race!” She challenged “Sure… why not” and soon Arthur soul then lift his hand to whistle but then stops, he thinks on something… his horse… she was not here, no she was killed by Dutch’s crew. Arthur then drops his hand sighing before walking back “sorry… I guess I wasn’t thinking” before he slowly walk away. “Uh right… here! Follow me!” Rainbow said before flying up to Arthur as he looks at the pony “So what was that back there?” She asked “Oh… nothing just thinking” he said Rainbow laughed before she then flies in front of him “yeah no, you were doing something. What was it?” She asked John sees them as they follow close before Twilight said “what with Arthur? Never see him like this?” She said “Oh well… a couple years ago. Arthur had a connection with his horse” John said “Horse? I think Red told me something about them, “they’re not your pet but your family” I believe he said” she said. John nods before walking up to pat Arthur making him look back “Look, I know you had a connection with her, but she gone…” John said making Arthur look away before nodding. He looks at John and Rainbow “Thanks” he said smiling at them Rainbow smirks before flying up high “anytime, but you owe me a drink!” She laughed. Arthur soon laughs too along with John, Twilight stands back smiling warmly before writing some things down on her notebook. “Now let’s go! I still got to show you the WONDERBOLTS!!!” Rainbow said before dashing ahead of the group once more with Twilight and the Cowboys following close. After a nice walk both the ponies tell some stories as what has happened before Red showed up. Taking down some goddess of night called nightmare moon, plus it was when they all first met each other too. John and Arthur soon stop to see some Pegasus fly by moving clouds around making the rest stop “ah yes… welcome to one of the most popular cloud spot here. Now the wonderbolts are here to help stop rogue weather. If a weather gets too strong the big leagues are their get the job done, but if point out some odd clouds you let a Pegasus know, simple as that” Rainbow said “If I can ask… how many clouds does an average Pegasus get?” John said “A good amount… but I can get a lot more faster in 10 seconds flat!” She said grinning at her ego. Arthur was about to say something if that’s true but Twilight stops him from saying anything. “But seeing the land down there… We’ll I could sleep on a cloud for hours!” John said as Rainbow flys close “yeah it’s awesome to see things down here… and the clouds are soft too!” She said Arthur stands to Twilight before thinking of something “hey Twilight?” He asked “Yeah?” She said “If you don’t mind me asking… but what did Red tell you of our world?” He asked “Not much… Gun, bounty, Horses, and I think ammunition. Why?” She asked “Nah it’s just… us Cowboys don’t ride fast without a horse, how does Red do his whole bounty work? And how does he even get ammo?” He asked “Don’t know, he doesn’t talk much about his job, Celestia tries to talk to him but most the time he past her talks with the next job” she said Arthur thinks for a moment before sighing wondering on what to do next, but then stops to see John and Rainbow laugh lightly as they walks back over. “Well I gotta say you two humans are cool enough to hang around” she said smiling as she flies up to the group. The cowboys tip theirs hats before they all make way back to the hot air balloon. Rainbow hangs on the side of the ballon looking at the humans “now remember. If you see a rouge cloud let me or any Pegasus know” she said before taking off waving goodbye. Arthur and John nod at Twilight before the balloon soon begins to fade below the clouds as it makes way back to town. Red adjusts his hat as his target is revealed in the flame, it’s a pony, male, and very tall with blue and yellow color fur with the skull mark on. “His name is Crusher… or that’s what he calls himself now, he has been charged with the usual crime” Celestia said “But there the catch” Luna said She trots over to flame and uses her magic showing a dream vision “his dreams are all blank… like he knows we’re watching him” she said as she takes a parchment out and hands it to Red. “His last whereabouts are in the page… good luck” she said before trotting back over to Celestia. He looks at the note and then nods a the sisters before leaving onwards to his next target. “Do you think he is getting better?” Luna asked “I don’t know sister… he has been avoiding it all the time, but with these humans here… we might get the chance” Celestia said before teleporting back to the throne room along with Luna. “Now thinking on it. How are the other humans doing?” She asked looking over to Luna who nods pulling a spell showing the group whereabouts. “There tour looks to be nearly done” Luna said “That’s good, just keep an eye on their dreams until then” Celestia said before leaving the throne room. Red stands outside of the castle as a chariot waits for him, once he enter he takes off onto where his target will be at. And hopefully gets to the bottom of this problem. Now The two cowboys tour is nearing its end what would the princess want with these two? And why? What’s so different about this target Red is hunting? Who knows… but stay tuned next time on Red dead Redemption the legends! Author's Note Now I know Rainbow is not mentioned a lot in this chapter, it’s mainly because i have more to plans with her in later chapters. But have a good one everyone!
Chapter 5 Welcome to Ponyville (4)View OnlineRed dead redemption: the LegendsChapter 5 Welcome to Ponyville (4)The humans take a breath as the trail continues on as they make way to a farm, Twilight looks back at the two before chuckling lightly. The humans both sigh as they get up and walk to the top where Twilight stands waiting. “Boy you both sure tired” she said Arthur gasped before he clears his throat “it’s been almost a couple hours, I could go for a drink” he said “No” John said as he adjusted his hat, Soon all of them get over the hill and more on the path as they see not to far, a farm with a huge valley full of trees. Sweet Apple Acres As the group arrived a small filly is seen out front playing with two other fillies before noticing them, one soon shouts out “hey Sis the humans are here!” She says before they leave as an orange pony trots out to greet them. “Well howdy partners!” She said as she stops in front of them before offering a hoof “names AppleJack! Nice to meet ya!” She said to Arthur who shakes the hood nice and strong. Applejack chuckled before doing to same to John. “Twilight has said something about ya two, that y’all both are from an another world! Well howdy! She wasn’t kidding” she said “Well nice to know that there some people out their who are from the west” Arthur said “Well of course! Good ways away a town is called appleloosa full of the type of people you would know” Applejack said adjusting her hat. “What there?” John asked “Oh you know, outlaws, bounties, and taverns” she explained Arthur would then poke John’s arm “sound like our kinda place to be at” he said Twilight soon steps in and clears her throat before looking at Applejack “now Aj what so important for our human friends should know?” She asked “Important? Oh right! Listen up cowboys! Welcome to Sweet Apple Acres! Home to my famous Apple cider!” She said “This whole farm is made for beer?” Arthur said, Applejack smiles at Arthur enthusiasm before she trots, taking the lead. She shows them her house and then the farm and what the job is and what they do. “Now we’re Apple farmer, we sell Apple for the living, but we also make Apple for the cider for more living” she said before trotting over to a tree. She looks over to the humans as they watch closely “now us earth ponies have a bit more strength then a unicorn or pegasus so we can do this!” She says before lifting a hind leg up and buck the tree shaking all the Apple off all in a bucket. “But then after we finishing a bucket we bring them over to the wagon for selling for the market or making cider” she said putting the bucket up in the wagon where a big red pony sits before then trotting away from the group. “Now we allow anypony to work and help harvest, we pay well is you work the hours” she said “But how the hell do we hit the tree? I’d rather not brake my hand!” Arthur said Applejack nods at that before trotting over to the barn, before she holds two big mallets on her back as she trots over to the humans “you uses these mallets, their heavy enough to buck the tree, but try not to brake them” she said handing them over to the humans. “Well now, how about we see what your strength really is” she said. Both the cowboy’s eyes widen at the moment before looking over to the ponies “What?” John said “Wait a minute” Arthur says “Now now I got your bits right here” Applejack said holding a bag shaking it lightly hearing the coins rattle. “Who ever can fill all three bucket will get these bits, and for the other is the opposite” she said “Oh… fine” Arthur said “Whatever” John said holding the mallet correctly, Arthur adjust his grip before looking at the trees sit still showing its beauty of handful of apples looking at the mallets they take a huge breath picking them up and slowly try to get a good handle on them. It’s heavy, but good enough for them to lift it up to their guts before bringing the mallets up high and soon swingers it, slamming against the trees, and soon apple slowly fall onto the bin. Arthur looks at John and he looks back before Applejack shouts out “and go!” And soon slowly they hit their trees and begin too hit the tree with right strength as more apples fall down. Couple hours later… John sighed as he slumps on the wagon clearly exhausted from the unexpected work they have accomplished. Arthur kicks some dirt due to losing the game, but soon he laughs along with John and the others “you did good this time Marston but next time, I’m gonna get back at you” Arthur said Applejack soon hands John the bag of money and smiles warmly “now one of you can come here to help buck trees or other chores around the farm and I promise I’ll pay both of you well” she said nodding at the two cowboys. later the front door opens showing a older green and grey mare trots out and calls out “Applejack! Come inside for some pie, I got some for your friends too” she said before going back inside. She nods at the group for them to follow along side with the three filly’s as there sits a huge apple pie fresh out of the oven, sitting in the middle with some plates on the table. “Yeah apple pie is the best!” Apple bloom said as she bites on the pie slice before gasping due to the pie still hot making Applejack frown “Easy Apple bloom! Don’t wanna have you burnt your mouth again” she said before she hands Arthur a plate, he nods before he pulls his knife out to cut a slice before saying “thanks Jackie” making the mare lower a brow hearing the nickname. “What that you said?” She blurts out and Arthur sighed before placing the pie down and looks over the mare “sorry kinda a bad habit of mine” he said as the mare lowers her hat looking away before muttering “t-that’s all good Sugarcube” she said before taking a bite of the pie as Apple bloom cheers. John looks at this yellow kid making him think on someone, someone who is missing him along side his wife. Twilight sees him and pats his shoulder making him look over at her as she muttered “are you okay?” And he nods lightly before thinking on something again as he sees Arthur chat with a big red pony and Applejack. Arthur, the man who saved him time and time again, his brother alive! He note that he hasn’t been thinking much about how he and Arthur were still here. His thoughts were interrupted by Apple bloom tug on his leg making him look down see… Jack? No no, he sees the pony and he looks away before feeling something, making him stand up and walks out the door. Arthur sees it and looks over at Twilight and then Applejack frowns a bit too. “What’s up with him?” She asked “I don’t know” Twilight says, she was gonna get up but Arthur stops her as he adjust his hat knowing what John is doing, he looks back at the group “give him a moment, I’ll talk to him” he says before looking back outside as John sits on the deck thinking of an old memory. “Watch out, it’s a bit steep here” Dutch said looking back at the wagon full of supplies, a man with white shirt and brown pants wearing his iconic bear pelt hat as he adjust the rope. “The other are still up ahead Dutch” Mac said looking over at Abigail and Arthur. Dutch nods to himself as he looks forward before he then hears something behind him fall making him look back. “What’s going on back there?” He asked “God damn it, a tree fell!” Arthur said calming the young Jack down as Abigail tries to find a way to get across the tree. Dutch soon hops off his horse and walks over to look on the other side seeing John, Arthur and Jack all stand there on their horses. “You three good?” He asked “Yeah, but the way is blocked!” Arthur shouts back, John sighed looking away as Dutch rubs his chin before he snaps his fingers “you three find a way to the camp while the rest of us get there” he said “Alright then” John said as Jack whimpered as Abigail sees him “don’t you worry baby, momma will be okay” she said before looking at Arthur and John before giving a serious look “you too keep my baby safe” she said “Always” Arthur said and John says nothing as he looks away rolling his eyes “John!” Abigail warned as the man looks at her as she glairs at him “ok ok fine” he said as she gets back on the wagon as Mac follows Dutch leaving both of them as they have the horses trot up the hill. Jack is about 2 years old so his speech is not the best so he does simple babbling for a baby, John sighed as Arthur laughed seeing the kid. “Dada?” He said looking at Arthur “No no, I’m not you dad” he said looking at John being all quiet as ever. Arthur then looks back at the boy before he brakes the quiet “Marston… what’s up you?” He asked “Nothing just been thinking” he said His thoughts were cut out as Arthur looks at the man as he was given a moment to himself, Arthur pats his shoulder as he looks at the trees. “What’s on your mind?” He asked “That kid, remind so much of Jack” John said standing up sighing lightly as he looked at Arthur. “I don’t know what those two are doing without me there to help them” he said just tumbling on how they found him or he believed. He can make up a feeling that he felt, like he was dead but knew that both of them were there staring at his dead body and felt them sad. John sighed yet again, He then looks away from Arthur pondered a question about how he got here. “Arthur how did we get here?” John said Are there was about to say something but stops hearing the question, he rubs his chin, thinking on it, but had no idea, he shrugs, lifting both his arms up, trying to think of something “just luck I guess” he blurts out, and John this time deadpans as he look back. Arthur soon bypass is the question and he places his hand back on John’s shoulder, trying to comfort him. Arthur then gives him a serious look “now partner, I don’t know or why we’re here, but you should know that they are okay” he said “But how do you know? You’ve been dead for years” John says and Arthur then opens his journal showing it to the man. “I know that he is fine” he said and John sighed before he nods just fearing for them, he can’t be the guide anymore now. It’s up to Jack and Abigail now. Soon then Applejack and Twilight trot out smiling warmly as they see both the humans, John looks at Twilight and nods smiling lightly before the yellow filly pops her head out. “I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings mister” she said “No it’s all good kid” John said before nodding at Applejack, and then thanks her for the treat and the job also the money too. Arthur tops his hat as Applejack does the same as both the cowboys and Twilight begin there tour once again ready to finish it. “He will be fine” Arthur said and John nods again this time more happy as him and Arthur nod at each other not noticing Twilight Write some more things down on her book as they follow the trail back to Ponyville but then a path back to the forest once more. The tour is close to being done, but what comes next? What will happen meeting this Fluttershy? And what will the princess think of these two cowboys?

Chapter 5 Welcome to Ponyville (5)View OnlineRed dead redemption: the LegendsChapter 5 Welcome to Ponyville (5)“I gotta say, you two sure have seen lots of things haven’t you?” Twilight said as they continued on the path, the day had been great! Meeting all these ponies, helping them understanding this world more and more, Arthur laughed a bit before he scratched his head as him and John stop for a second to catch their breath. “Well me and Arthur have known each other since we were kids, so we’ve seen some crazy stuff” John explained before taking a huge thing of air feeing his chest burn slowly. Twilight lowers a brow and looks over to Arthur as he rests on the tree waves his hat as a fan. “By the end of the day I’m gonna be soar” he said and Twilight giggled before she takes the lead of the pack. “So you too are like brothers?” She asked “You can say it like that, brother in arms” Arthur said and John nods as they soon follow the pony to the cottage owned by the shy pony Fluttershy. As they walk Arthur notices a good amount of animals were around the place ‘guess she wasn’t kidding about this pony being an animal caretaker’ he thought before they stop seeing the shy pony feed her animals. “Fluttershy!” Twilight greets making her look over and smile warmly as she flies over for a hug. She lets the hug go as she sees the cowboys and soon hides her face behind her mane. “Well howdy!” Arthur said putting a hand on his knee as he lower his body to eye level for the pony “um… hello” she greets before she shows her face more out of her mane as she looks up at the two. “So your here to know about the creature of the everfree forest?” She said and the two soon nod as they lean on the wall. She explained that this forest holds some special creatures of all legends… The three never heard of one but the John had to mention a creature that eats babies, Arthur give him a quizzical look as he had to hear this story later. “So how did you two show up to Equestria?” She asked John and Arthur both said in word at the same time making both of the mares shocked “died” they both said as Arthur scratched the back of his head and looks out the window… and he sees it again… the deer tall and motionless as it stairs directly at him in the eyes. “Arthur?” Twilight said making him snap back to reality as he adjusted his hat as he explained how he was in the past, but never wanted to harm innocent. John explained that he was freed but was then was trapped and killed. Twilight writes some more notes down as she hears more until they explain on how they met agin after years. “So you were in the forest? And found each other along the way?” Twilight said and the two nod before Arthur looks out the window again hoping to see the deer again… but no. “Damn it” he muttered getting John’s attention “what?” He said making Arthur look back at him “I uh saw something during the day… and yesterday as well” he admits making Twilight look at the him as he adjusted his hat again. “I guess I should explain… what I’ve seen…” he sighed as he soon stands up pulling his satchel as he pulls his old journal as he looks through the pages until stopping to see the grave Blessed Are Those Who Hunger And Thirst For Righteousness. “Guess we’re just about done, my friend. It’s been quite a journey.” He smiles lightly seeing the picture before he then turns a couple more pages to find a page with the deer on it, turning it to show the whole group. “I remember seeing that… you didn’t say anything at all… just that drawling” John said as he stairs at the photo. Arthur soon looks at it and then he sighed again as he puts the journal down to Twilight and Fluttershy to see. “It’s a deer?” Twilight said coking an eyebrow up at the man as Fluttershy looks at it closely “you saw this?” She asked “Yeah… for a long time… I saw it when I got sick… and it’s been following me everywhere… like it’s telling me something” he said remembering his death approaching him. “What did happen to me after I died John?” Arthur asked “Well after that, me and Abigail left the country before returning later to find out Charles built your grave on a spot you told him” he said as Arthur soon remembered Charles “I wish I thank him… and hope he doing alright” Arthur said “Oh my” Fluttershy says getting the others attention as she lifts the photo up again “this deer is different then any I’ve ever seen!” She said making the group look down at it then her again “But it looks like an average deer” Twilight said inspecting the page as Fluttershy flies up to Arthur “Mr. Morgan… you have a spirt animal guiding you… it’s like their giving you a second chance in life” Fluttershy said as the man looks away again. “I guess so…” he said ‘My second chance? Huh well she ain’t kidding! I should be dead… maybe this deer saw my actions… and want me to be that person on this chance’ Arthur thinks as he puts the journal away. “I guess you’re right… and I don’t think of wasting it…” he said as a grin slowly spread on his face. John looks away and smiles warmly but then faded thinking about his wife and son. No. There okay! Jack is strong and smart, he would do anything to pay back on Ross and his wife will be safe with Jack keeping everyone safe. He will, no he believes that Jack will survive! “I guess I have my time here as well” John said as Fluttershy soon smiles up at the two and then trots to the door leading them to the animals all outside now. “Now Ponyville is close the forest, and so many creatures live here, if you would see a rouge animal you let me know and I’ll deal with it, but if it’s worse then help the townsfolk” Fluttershy said as the humans nod seeing all the animals. Bunnies, Bear, lama, all kinds were around showing off her specialty. “I know the feeling, use to have a dog long time ago… he died” Arthur said before John slaps the back of his head as to not try and upset the shy pony. “But… if you think you can handle the animals, just bring them here and I’ll take care of the rest” she said smiling brightly as the two nod. She then looks over to her animals and whispers to them and soon make there way over to the two. “Uh Mis Shy, what is happening?” John said as a few birds land on his hat and some bunnies on his shoes. Arthur was greeted by a bear who was nuzzling his arms ‘oh shit shit shit!’ He was frozen in place as the bear stopped nuzzling but then stops as it leaves the two along with the other animals. “I… don’t like bears” Arthur grumbled as John tried to hold his laughing along with the others, but soon he joins in with the laughing… the two cowboys have lots to learn about this world… but it doesn’t mean that they can’t say no to living here right? Who knows. Arthur and John were soon guided back to Ponyville with Twilight, the sun is now setting as they returned. They were greet with the pink pony with a lot of the townsfolk all giving them a party. “Welcome to Ponyville Mr Morgan and Marston!” *pop* “Oh it’s from the princess, ahem!” Dear Twilight Sparkle I have received all of your letters and notes from you and studied them enough to understand that these human are indeed worthy of living In Equestria.

Chapter 6 Devils handView OnlineRed dead redemption: the LegendsChapter 6 Devils hand“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! Author's Note Hey guys, thanks for reading this chapter! I’ve been working on this and will be giving Red some more attention. But don’t worry I have more planes for the next chapter so stay turned!
Chapter 7 the red orderView OnlineRed dead redemption: the LegendsChapter 7 the red order“You know better then this you bucking fool!” The body of Red and the mare were being dragged to another room as Crusher frowns at the human disappearance but then focused on the hooded mare. He snorts limping to a stone slab to sit as he frowns at the two. “You never said that I would have a bounty on my head still!” He said pointing a hood at the two. The one taller stallion in the hood looks at Crusher with a blank expression as the mare trots up showing her red eyes. “Our leader did not want the humans involved yet! And now that the devil is here we have not choice to kill him!” The mare snapped back as Crusher looks away before cringing at the dead bodies of other ponies. Crusher snorts as he looks back at the two “well things happen, now that he is dealt with, I’ll rest up and return to my-“ he was cut as the mare stomps her hooves loud making him stop as he noticed a small smile begin to form on her muzzle. She then turns to look at the small drop and then at the bigger stallion. “Crusher… your work has gotten the princess attention… and we can’t let them know on what you’ve done, so…” she stops at Crusher was then picked up by the bigger one as he trot over to them “Hey! Let. Me. Go!” He said trying to break free from the grip. He then looks at the hole with shocked as he then sees the mare grin more now. “Now now… you’ve done well… or bucking nothing! Tell me why I should not let you fall?” She said glaring at the blue stallion as he tries to keep balance “50 ponies… I can get you 50 ponies at the end of the month!” He exclaimed as he shows a bit of pleading in his eyes. The mare looks at him and then smiles as she nods at the stallion for him to be dropped. “No no! Wait I-“ he stops feeling the ground as he looks where he stands and takes a breath. The two hooded individuals trot away as they then look back at Crusher “50 ponies… one month… leave” she says before turning around the corner. “Buck… I’m done for…” Crusher said as he soon sprints out of the main room to the entrance. A few minutes later… “Oh buck were totally food! We’re done for!” The mare said trying to find something to do, Red rolls his eyes feeling rather lifeless. His weapons are gone and he has not gun belt… he can feel a bit naked without having a gun on his hips. The mare stops to look at him as she then frowns “well? Aren’t you going to do something Devil?” She said making Red frown more. “Don’t call me that.” He stated as he soon lays back on the cage walls, the mare rolls her eyes as she then goes to the door before intensely stepping back making Red to see their jailers. Red soon lean up adjusting his hat as the hooded pony looks at him. He can’t see the face but he can sense the glair form their eyes. “Sleep well?” The male voice said to them. Red does nothing as the mare groans getting his attention “I’m am not with him so can I be freed please?” She said looking at him sticking a tongue out at him, he does nothing but rolls his eye “fucking child” he muttered “The buck you say!” She said stomping over to him as he glairs at the mare. She lifts a hoof up and slaps Red across the face, but he takes it. She goes for it again, and he takes it. Each and every slap he gets does nothing… his nose is bleeding a bit but he doesn’t care… and once it started to fall down his face the mare stops and steps back feeling the fear as Harlow then stands up at full height. “You think hitting me will keep me down? I’ve been through hell and back, just to get my own needs… so… are you doing?” He said making the mare sit down shaking as he then looks at the hooded stallion “I’ll get out of here… just you wait” he said Red usually never talks a lot to his enemies but after knowing that his family gun is not one him makes him pissed off. He then sits back down in the wall of the cage as the mare then looks at him with a raised brow. He pay no mind to it as the hooded stallion soon leaves. “Rubyway…” the mare said “What?” Red says looking at the mare, she looks at him as she give an odd look of focused on him “that’s my name… Rubyway” she says looking down now. Red then frowns a bit as he then looks out the cage seeing no pony past by yet, he can’t escape yet, he need his weapons! He looks at Rubyway soon lay down and begins to cry lightly, he sees her soon try and sleep but tears still falling, he looks at her and then… no, he puts his hand on his hat to cover his eyes… “Red Harlow” he said making Rubyway look back at him, he soon can tell that she is smiling a bit as she then lays back down a bit, he thinks for a good moment his thoughts fighting for control! ‘Take her with you! Sure she was bad but doesn’t mean that you can’t say no!’ The left side of his head says ‘And say “oh hey thanks for helping now let me kill you!” That ridiculous!’ The other side snaps back, Red frowns some more as he tries to sleep on the right thought… the arguments were soon loud and he frowns keeping his eyes closed as they argue some more and more until… it stopped… Red finds himself with that mare Rubyway next to his leg now… he can see the bullet wound on her leg that now has dried blood on her leg… he can’t think in this she was with that crook and makes her a- Wait… that’s it, she knows Crusher, she know something’s about him and if she would comply, Red would save lives… but he will need help… he gets it now. He lifts his hat up again and cleared his throat making Rubyway look at him again “I’ll let you live if you help me stop Burster” he said “What, wait you mean…” she stops as Red nods slowly before Rubyway soon tears up and hugs him hearing her apology for what she did before sobbing… he does nothing but sits… he can feel his head light now as he looks away… he thought hard on this but it’s the best plan to work with… and hopefully the two others wouldn’t mind helping him. “Now… first off, don’t hug me” he said bluntly making the mare giggle lightly punching his shoulder. He soon stands up again as he then looks at the door, he then noticed a loose hinge but on a side where he might be able to reach… “I see a hinge… I’m going to get it and then you kick the door” he said “Okay and then what? Run to the exit? I don’t know this place” she said making him look around the area again… it’s dark and guessing there in a cave of some kind maybe an old mine… Red then thinks of his next idea “No… I need my weapons, can’t fight without them” he explained looking around, he cat really see but it looks to be a table is a bit ways away. He then rubs his cloth hand scratching an itch, he then thinks on how to do this, once they’re out they will be hunting for, So he needs plan. Rubyway nods and looks around before looking around the cage but then stops to see some kind of armory. “I see an armory a bit ways away, maybe your stuff is there” she said he nods, he then rubs his head and then soon reaches for the hinges, the first hinge was easy but the second one is a bit of a struggle. He lifts the door up a bit and see the hinge shift a little. “Hold the door up” he grunted Now quickly changing spots Red soon tries turning the hinge witch was working, he then pulls it off and sees Ruby struggle to hold the door now, Red grabs the door and the two slowly places it on the wall. Freedoms at last the two slowly walk to the armory hoping the find what he is looking for. There! His stuff all sit in a chest surrounded by blue prints of some kinds. His rifle looked to have been tampered a bit but still has the trigger and bullets to shoot. Then his revolver was still in his gun belt but has bullets scattered around. “What were they doing?” Ruby asked looking down at the papers… there trying to make his guns for ponies… it’s a ruff sketch but it’s easy to tell that they’re trying to make his weapons. He grabs all of the blueprints and reattached his belt feeling whole again. Red looks back at the mare who pulls a cross bow out and bolts. She smiles at them putting her quiver her rump as holds the crossbow in her back as she then trots over to Red “Okay I’m set, let’s get the buck out of here!” She said and Red nods smiling lightly as they soon walk out. Ponies in hooded robes all making the two quickly hide behind the door as they trot by. After they pats they knew that they had to live now. So Red and Ruby slowly walk through the cave and hope that no one would find them… “There gone! Find them!” A mare shouts making the two move faster now. The loud scatter of hooves make the two soon stop from walking to now sprinting, they look around the maze and soon find dead bodies of ponies of all kind and then find the exit then after. As they run to the desert more and more he can soon hear someone shout at them, they don’t listen and keep running and not looking back… Red may have not caught Crusher, but they definitely had some information on what is happening and who these ponies are… they planning for war… for something. As they believe the cost is clear both Ruby and Red pant lightly as they stop in the dirt “we… did it… I feel beat” Ruby said, Red says nothing as he soon gets on a knees placing a hand on his chest taking a deep breath. “Agreed… now… I can remember the road… to Canterlot… but… remember the deal” Red Harlow has escaped with a new friend? Rubyway must now be pulled into this Cowboys business, he will return to canterlot, but what happens next? Stay turned next time on Red dead redemption the legends! Author's Note Hey sorry if this feels a bit rushed… I kinda had more of a plan with my first OC and have some time working with her, the next chapter will be with Red and Ruby. But thanks for reading!
Chapter 9 the plan and gangView OnlineRed dead redemption: the LegendsChapter 9 the plan and gangTwo days later… “I’m telling you the wonder bolts are insane! You would love them Arthur!” Rainbow beams as Arthur scratches behind his head. He doesn’t like to do much other than shoot to kill or steal. So he just nods and tries to understand about these wonder bolts. John on the other hand was talking to Rarity about having something to do about future clothing, he hates about how people would spent lots of money just to get a bunch of clothes ‘it’s a waste alright’ he thinks. But Rarity has been learning that humans do need heavy coats for when the cold is coming so more plans would be competing for both cowboys for now, but these two are here for one reason, meeting the ruler of the land, they hate royalty but know how to show respect for one… and Celestia is a interesting pony to know about. Hired Red Harlow to be a bounty hunter and shit, she might do the same to Arthur and John. “Well thanks for telling me this darling! Now I can picture two brave souls in the cold winter air!” She says before giggling, John sighed but was then bumped by Twilight “hey, thanks for keeping you and Arthur cool about this, I know how much you hate Royalty” Twilight says pulling out a note. “Celestia might be a bit forward on some things, but she did mention not only once but twice about… this important task” she said reading the note carefully. Arthur then groans as he walks up to John tired as all hell. “I could go for a drink…” “No” Arthur soon adjusted his hat and shirt as they approached the front gate of the castle, the ponies all around acted a lot different then Ponyville… instead of the panic and welcome like tone, they were greeted with disgust. And the last stallion made Arthur wanna shoot him for calling him a monkey. “So Arthur?” Twilight started “How have you been so far?” She asked before then regretting as he groans again and waves his hand up “these shit heads make me wanna start having the law on me!” He shouts not caring as he pasted a guard. Twilight rolls her eyes as Rainbow jabs his shoulder and laughing, his rebellious is strong and powerful. “But… I’ll be the “good boy” and not start making shit blow up” he said making Twilight frown, Applejack then trots next to Arthur “well sugarcube, I promise to give you some cider after this, drinks are on me” she said as Arthur laughed while John groans this time. “You know? You can easily make that man be happy by taking alcohol” he deadpanned to the farm mare as she giggled. But soon stops as the group reach to the front doors. A guard nods at the group before opening them in and soon escorted. Celestia sits down as she eyes the two human walk in, offering a smile she nods at Twilight as they stop at the bottom of the stairs. “It’s so nice to finally met you Mr Morgan and Marston” she greeted as the two look at each other then feel there leg get bumped as Twilight nods for them to bow, they shrugged and stare up at the princess “Harlow had said somethings about ya” Arthur admitted as Twilight groans. “Oh?” Celestia said getting up from her chair and slowly trots down to the cowboys “and he had told me about you as well” she said keeping her warm smile. “I guessing you’re wanting to know about us?” John asked, Celestia nods at them both I have heard from my student has welcomed you both?” She asked “Yep.” Arthur blurts with John nodding along as well. The princess trots up keeping her smile on her face, and not to much later Harlow and a red mare walk in as well making Celestia smile fade a little. Red nods at the two humans as the red mare has a shocked expression. “So my dear student” Celestia said turning to the purple unicorn “you wonder why I bring you here?” She asked. Twilight shakes her head before then eyeing both Arthur and John “Mr Morgan and Mr Marston?” She asked. Celestia nods and stands tall to eye the humans. “Your both here for as if a request from Mr Harlow” she said making Twilight blink and leaves her mouth open to say something. The two cowboys look at each other and then at Red as he walks up standing next to the princess. “We got a problem” Red said, the red mare then trots up and chuckled a bit nervous “I- I’m Rubyway” Rubyway greeted. Arthur looks down at the pony and then at Red “uh… what’s the problem?” He asked “So… a group of ponies are stealing other ponies for… rituals?” John said as both him and Arthur were escorted down the halls with the princess in the front and the main 6 in the back talking to Rubyway. “Yes, the bastards are on to something, and the princess is having me form a posse to take it down” Red said making John and Arthur look at each other “and here I though we were gonna have the peace” Arthur said, John does nothing but looks down at the ground, Red turns around stopping the two and give them a stern look. “It gets worst from that Arthur, these guys are trying to copy our weapons” he said, Arthur shrugged and then laughed lightly “well I’d say that there dumb, it’s not so simply by just looking” Arthur said placing a hand on his belt. “now much did they put down? And can they even fire our guns? Cus their hooves are a bit… fingerless” he said. John just groans at that while Red rolled his eyes, Arthur can be a light on thinking, but once he gets the problem, he can get the job done. The three soon catch back up with the ponies as they were talking about the tragedy that Red was after, Rubyway was “kind” enough to share information on the last known whereabouts of a base, full of merc and bounty hunters of all kind. This gets the attention of Arthur and John when they hear lots of money. They may retire of being bandits but money is money. Celestia sees it and clears her throat. “And thus bring me to my last briefing of the meeting, Mr Morgan and Mr Marston” she said Turing her body to the humans, the 7 ponies all step aside as the princess walks up and pulls out two silver rings. “I know that you both have had just gotten used to our world. But I need you both, our world is not as save as it used to be, and Red can’t just be the only one to carry the kingdoms on his shoulder, like me and my sister” she said handing them the rings. They eye it and noticed that it’s indeed looks like Red’s. “What are theses rings, princess?” John asked as he eyed the engravings in it, Celestia looks over to Red and sighed. “It’s a magical rings that grants access to communicate with me or other same ring user, it’s alway your way of showing that your my bounty hunters” she explained. Arthur eyes it and sighed ‘I should have expected this…’ he thinks before he looks at John and then the group. “Can we have a moment with Red?” Arthur asked, Celestia looks at her student and then Red and nods slowly and walk away from the three humans. Red walks over to them and leans on the wall “nervous?” He asked, Arthur snorts and shakes his head “Hell nah! It’s just… I don’t know about this” he admitted, he died once and doesn’t want to lose it again, John is not looking to die again. He seeks to return to his family, Red gets it and looks down at the floor. “Arthur? Should we do this? I mean we’re alive again… and we still don’t have a slightest idea of how we are” John said Arthur just groans a bit and eyes the ring still “being her hunter is one thing, but going into a whole plan on killing ponies? Charles would be pissed if he was here” Arthur said, Red gets off the wall getting the two attention as he puts his cloth hand on his belt “I understand that part, and I wasn’t easy on killing one… but there are just like us… some can be just as bad as a human, like these bastards, they can be even more evil then a human” Red explained John and Arthur then eye the ring one last time and then think on the first day of meeting the ponies, they welcomed them, fed them, even gave them a place to sleep. These ponies are like humans in both good and bad… but the good is too good to be a human, it’s different. John thinks about Twilight who had been the one hearing most of his stories, the question of living and moving on. Arthur thinks of Applejack, she is like a fellow cowboy that a man would share a drink with, her family is just a heavy reminder of Dutch in a way, it’s like the peaceful land had been found… Arthur and John then grip the ring and nod to each other. “Okay. We will fight, for our new home” Arthur said before he puts the ring on his finger, John adjust his coat before putting the ring on “for the family” he said nodding to Arthur, Red smirks and nods respectfully at the two as they all walk close to each other back towards the ponies. But once they show up to the princess they tip there hats at her “we’ll be your hunters” Both Arthur and John said. Celestia smiles and lifts her head up high and charges her magic. “Arthur Morgan and John Marston. Welcome my bounty hunter to Canterlot castle, we have a plan to stop these cultists” The three humans are reunited! And Arthur and John are now the rulers new bounty hunters! What happened next with the cult? Will the humans have a plan to stop them? Find out next time on Red dead Redemption the legends!
Chapter 8 rest and relaxationView OnlineRed dead redemption: the LegendsChapter 8 rest and relaxationThe sun begins to rises as our two surviving human and pony walk down the path, now in grass plans Red let his coat off to feel the nice summer breeze flow past his skin before he then looks over to Rubyway. “So, what’s your story?” She asked, Red says nothing while he hands his coat on his back before spitting on the dirt. The mare snorts and trots up ahead “not much of a talker Harlow?” She said feeling his eyes on her as she soon looks back at him. “My story is not for you to hear” he said and she chuckled slowing down at the same past as the human. Red continues looking but then sees Ruby adjusted her mane before looking back up at the man. “Maybe I can cut you a deal?” She asked getting him to look at her, feeling rather annoyed Red grunts and looks forward again. “If you show me about your hand being covered in cloth, I’ll tell you my story” she sets out as Red rubs his chin before sighing he shows off his hand and moves his cloth off the Rubyway the burned scare covering his hand. “My Weapon was in a fire… and I shot a man with it leaving the scar” he said before covering it up again as the mare then pouts wanting to know more. She then sighed as she trots pass by an unexpected rock nearly tripping on it, Red frowns as he then gets the mare to look up at him. “What’s your story then?” He asked keeping the look as the mare sighed looking at the dirt she nods to herself and then tells her story. “I’ve not been a… mercenary for a year and yet… I suck at it, my parents are dead and have no pony to look for guides for me” she says as then looked up at Red as he hums to himself, taking as the cue to continue she looks ahead “I ditched school, lost my house and then became a broke mare! And now I nearly almost died if you didn't save and-“ she stops, blinks before she narrowed her eyes up to the human as they soon turn to the left. “Hey… why did you save me?” She said Red slaps a hand to his face as he then frowns down at the mare, this might go bad if he thinks on what would happen. He simple adjusts his belt and muttered “your alive due to knowing information on my target” he said truthful as the mare soon regretted to ask. “Oh… wait if I said no you-“ “Would have left you… or shot you” he said making the mare stop glaring at the cowboy as he rests a hand on his revolver, she stops and takes a breath “you… your going to have me locked up?” She said and he nods at her but then lifts a finger up as he then walks past her “If you give me the information” he said “And what if I just run away?” She said making Red stop, slowly putting a hand in his revolver again as he frowns looking back at the mare. “Then the deal is off…” he says as Rubyway gulps the lump in her throat before trotting up to Red. She snorts a bit but then sighed nodding to herself, she Is alive thanks to him, but now pays the price of being locked up or waiting to be locked up. “But if you do help, maybe even try and prove yourself… maybe… just maybe you can have your jail time shorter” he reassured making Ruby nod again. Not much was said after that, the two decided to save the energy and continue onwards on the trail. But not too later the sight of canterlot was in sights. Red soon stops as he then turns around to look at the mare, he pulls out a rope making Ruby step back a bit. “You aren’t expected… I’ll need your weapons and have you tied, the princess rules” he said “Why? Canterlot is good hours away” she said frowning a bit looking at the rope, Red rolled his eyes as he taps a foot on the dirt waiting for the mare to make her move. She scoffed and drops her crossbow and bolts and gets her hooves tied. “This is stupid! What? Are you going to carry me all the way-“ she stops as Red then pulls a flair out and drops it, he then sits down on a rock next to Rubyway. He adjusted his hat as soon a minute later a chariot arrived In front of him. “Mr Harlow? Your back! And you found… a mare?” The guard asked Red snorts picking Ruby up and placed the mare in the chariot and soon sits in. He taps the roof and no sooner later the chariot takes off, Ruby gasped trying to stay still but freaks out as she was moved to one side and the other. “You didn’t do this because of this did you?” She said making Red smirk a bit as he sits back and catches his breath. Ruby just frowns but then squeaked as she was moved again. Red soon slowly falls rest, relaxing his shoulders and legs from both fighting and running. But once then he opens his eye to see Luna there, knowing that he is in a dream he rubs his eyes as he then looks at the princess of the night. “Progress?” She said “I’m on my way… target had escaped, get Celestia” he says simply and the princess nods soon disappears making him slowly wake up again form Ruby still shouting. He smiles lightly as he looks outside seeing the castle in sights. Red now walks along with guards as he was entering the castle, Ruby was kept close but had the rope gone and had shackles on her hooves. She grunted but stop to see the two big doors leading to the thrown room, Red opens it and sees the two rulers look down at him. He takes a bow along with the guards before Ruby was then pushed forward and stands next to the cowboy. “Mr Harlow, good to see you back my friend” Celestia greets smiling warmly as the cowboy nods up to her. She soon eyes Ruby as she tries to keep her cool not trying to panic, looking back she shows a quizzical brow “Luna said that the target escaped, is this true?” She asked Red nods as he looks over to Rubyway “we did learn his name, from this mare who was working with him” he said Ruby can feels the eyes gaze into her soul as Celestia brows then lowered as she frown at the mare “uh… Rubyway your majesty” she said with a quick bow before she was then greeted by the ruler up closer now, she flinched but stop as Celestia looks over to Red “She worked with Crusher?” She asked, Red nods as he then pulls his revolver out and starts to clean it, Celestia shifted her gaze to Ruby now “tell me Ms Way… why are you here?” She said her voice still keeping its clam. “I well… Ive been working with Crusher for about a year… but there more of us, and I believe I’m a dead mare if I even leave this castle” she said looking down at the floor, Celestia nods and smiles lightly but then fades as Harlow give her a look of how dangerous. “Ma’am… this Crusher had been capturing ponies and killed them… he is working with some kind of cult” Red said as he pulls the blueprint. “When I was captured I was-“ “What!” Luna then shouted as she then trots over to the human “how long?” She asked giving a stern look as he rubs a chin “day maybe… but that’s not the problem” he says handing the blueprint to the night princess. She looks at the page and then glairs daggers at it before handing it to Celestia. “Harlow… what is this?” Celestia asked “Blueprints, to building weapons… my weapons” he says hearing some of the guards murmur as Celestia then frown again looking over to Ruby “tell me Ms Way…” she said making her flinched “Who is your boss working with?” She asked Rubyway shives as she steps back a bit but was stopped by Red as he also frowns at the mare “I… I don’t know, Crusher… he had only me work with him one day and started capturing ponies, that’s all I know” she said as Red then frowns more. “BUT! I- I can take you to Crusher’s location base!” She says as she now was on the floor trying not to cry, but was felt a hand touch her back making her look back and see Red who give her a small smile “remember…” he said looking back at Celestia “your majesty, I wish to have Ruby have to my care… she know Crusher, so I wish to have her escort me to him” he said Celestia looks at the mare and then back at Red, she smiles now and nods her head slowly before turning away “very well bounty hunter, but she will be in the dungeons until then” she said as Luna was handed back the blueprints and instantly trots out the room with them. “For now, Harlow?” “Yes?” “Mr Morgan and Mr Marston are in there way here in two day… I wish for you to stay, Twilight has told me something about your interaction with the other humans. Rest and relax until then my friend” she said in her regular voice. Red nodded but then looks over to Ruby, she smiles a little bit then was pushed aside and was taken to the cells. “Thank you your highness… I’ll be here” he said turning around and makes his way to the spare chambers for a good long rest. Well now… Red and Ruby are alive and now have returned to canterlot, what happens next with the human reunion? And how will Red explain the situation right now? Stay turned next time on Red dead redemption the legends!
