Chapter 16: Off to Work I Go

I continued to stare in absolute amazement at the article of clothing in front of me. There, on a few racks holding it up was exactly what I had asked for. I could see the brown duster that drapes down my back on one, the shoes and pants on another and the gloves set next to everything. The piece to the chest looked exactly like leather while it had straps going from the top left to the bottom right. All in all it looked fit for nearly any kind of fight other than weaponry. Looked like it could even stop a knife. Not like I will be stopping bullets anyway. After I finished admiring the spectacle I slowly turned to Rarity who was beside me smiling proudly.

"Rarity... this... this is.... oh my god..." I spoke as I tried to form a sentence.

"Oh really, it was nothing, go ahead try it on!" She said while motioning to a door.

After a moment of hesitation I walked over and gathered everything up. I turned and saw my gun floating in mid air. I grabbed it as Rarity released her magical grip on it. Making my way to the doorway she pointed to, I opened it and closed it behind me. I quickly got undressed except for my boxers, socks and a light undershirt. I slipped on the piece for the chest on and pushed my arms through the sleeved as I connected the straps allowing it to fit to my snugly but at the same time it felt as light as a second shirt. Next I put on the pants that resembled jeans, only a different fabric that felt smooth strong to the touch. I then slipped the duster on and let it drape behind me and over my arms. I put my pistol into it's holder that was on my right side at my waist and let the duster fall back down. The duster covered my whole back all the way to the ground, sort of like a cape, which covered my weapon at my side as well. I felt to the left of my waist and noticed another holder. Lifting the duster it looked as if it could hold a big combat knife. Obviously Rarity knows some things about combat she isn't telling me... or I drew it and just forgot. Lastly, I slipped on the gloves which fit perfectly to my hands and were not loose at all. Finally I took my shades and put them on, giving a little smile as I turned to the mirror and looked at myself.

'Totally won't backfire' I thought to myself as I walked to the door and opened it.

As I did the sound of screams filled my ears and I watched as 3 smaller ponies went zooming out the door. I scratched the back of my head and turned to Rarity who was also looking at the door.

"What was that about?" I asked waiting for her to turn around.

"Oh I don't know, maybe you just scared them." She said as she began to turn around. "They haven't really met you y-" She cut herself off as she saw me in the armor. "Oh wow... you look...uh... ready for anything." She finished with a smile.

Nodding I went into the room and grabbed my clothes, throwing them onto my shoulder. As I turned and walked back into the main room and to the front door I stopped and turned quickly.

"Thanks again Rarity, this will help a lot... and also..." I asked pausing for a second. "What DID happen last night that made Twilight act like that?" I asked as I waited for a response.

"Oh nothing much deary, you will find out soon enough. Any way's, thank YOU for letting me design you something that will help protect the town. Yes I know that, I heard it from Twilight, good luck!" I heard her shout from somewhere in the house.

Sighing I opened the door and left. 'Guess I'll need to find out what it is myself'

As I finished that thought I made my way through Ponyville and towards the library, getting a mix of stares ranging from fear, to curiosity. after roughly 6 minutes I made it to the door of the library and gave it a light knock.

"Royal Ponyville guard! Please Vacate the premises immediately!" I shouted with a smile crossing my figures.

As the door slowly opened I heard someone reply. "Alright! But I swear It wasn't me who used the hot water this time!" Yelled out spike as he came out with his claws up.

'Bahahah' "Nah never mind, I'm just messing with you. But how the hell would you use up all the hot water?" I asked tilting my head.

As he looked up he sighed in relief. "Oh jeez... don't do that, you really have that commanding voice thing down." He began as he turned and walked back into the library. "And as for the water, don't ask..." He finished with a wave of his claw.

"Spike? Who was that yelli-" Twilight began as she descended the stairs only to stop herself when she saw me. "Whoa Deckard... what are you wearing?" She asked running up to me and examining the armor.

"It's something Rarity made for my job. Do you like it?" I asked as I struck a pose.

Nodding she trots up and stood on two hooves. "Yes I do, it makes you look..." She paused as she traced her hoof down the outfit's chest piece. "Tough..." She finished as her face instantly turned crimson and she fell to her hooves. "Anyway I have to go do something upstairs... bye..." She quickly spoke out as she ran upstairs.

As I lifted an eyebrow and pulled the shades down I turned to spike. "What's up with her?"

Shrugging he answered. "Not sure, mares are weird sometimes." He finished.

I gave a slight chuckle as I put the shades back on. "Heheh... yeah just like women on my world... hey? Want to see how to hold a gun RIGHT?" I asked while I pulled out the empty pistol from my outfit's holder.

"Yeah!" He said putting his claw in the air.

"Alright, as long as you never fire it unless it is an absolute emergency and someone's life is in danger, alright?" I ordered pointing at him.

"Yes sir!" He responded saluting me.

"Alright first you grab here..."
