The Wrong Stallion

Her eyes began to tear up but Wright’s mind wouldn’t be changed, this pony whether she was a mare or not, was part of the Flim and Flam’s organization, or so he thought. Wright cocked the hammer back on the Colt Python and Applejack closed her eyes, tears streamed down her face when suddenly a figure tackled Wright with extreme speed, knocking Wright to the ground and making him loose his grip on the Colt revolver.

He spun up to see Derpy, with an extremely pissed look on her face. Wright spit on the ground “I was hoping you weren’t part of Flim and Flam’s organization Derpy but if you are then I have to kill you as well” Wright called out and Applejack gasped “Wait what’re yah” she began but suddenly a flash of rainbow coloured blur streaked past and lifted Applejack to safety. Wright turned to see a cyan coloured Pegasus with a rainbow coloured tail and mane. Wright snarled, ‘just how many of them are there exactly’ Wright wondered to himself as he pulled out his Spas 12.

As he began to line up a bead on the rainbow coloured mare she zipped strait towards him, tackling him through the barn wall. “AJ, get Applebloom and Big Mac to safety, Derpy get back, I’ll handle this guy” the rainbow coloured Pegasus yelled out, suddenly she zipped through the roof. Wright looked up, she had flown incredibly high into the air and was now flying back down towards the barn. “Meet the sonic rainboom” she yelled out and Wright’s eyes went wide as he tried to cover his face with his forelegs.

The rainbow coloured broke the sound barrier as she fly into the barn, a mushroom cloud with rainbow colours erupted and the barn was annihilated into millions of pieces. Smoke obstructed the view of the barn and Rainbow Dash stepped out of the smoke, dusting off his wings. She trotted up to Applejack, “That sure was a close call, lucky I showed up when I did” Rainbow Dash said with triumph in her voice.

Suddenly Wright burst from the smoke, he had minor cuts on his face and forelegs but other than that he was uninjured. However his duster coat had taken a severe punishment and was now tattered. He pulled the broken sunglasses off his face “Those were my glasses” he snarled as he tackled Rainbow Dash to the ground and smashed the grip his custom revolver against her head, now dazed from the blow she was unable to fight back. Wright stood up onto his hindlegs and holding Rainbow Dash in with his left hoof and his revolver with his right he placed the revolver up to her head.

“Time to meet the real sonic boom” Wright snarled. Suddenly there was a thunderous BOOM and Wright was literally taken off his hooves and sent careening through the air. Sliding along the ground he felt a sharp pain in his side and realized he had just taken a load of rock salt. Subsiding the pain he quickly stood up and leveled his Spas 12 at the group.
Suddenly a little mare, no more than 6 years of age charged in from of Wright and the group “STOP” she wailed. Wright froze in horror, ‘They’re… using foals?’ Wright asked himself, no matter how brutal Wright could get with the Flim and Flam brother’s henchman he couldn’t bring himself to kill foals. “Little filly get out of the way” Wright yelled but she ignored his order. He saw the rainbow Pegasus get up, he couldn’t take the time to have another one on one battle with her.

“Applebloom, get outta the way” said an elderly voice, Wright turned his attention to an old granny that was wielding an old double barrel shotgun. Applebloom turned to the elderly mare “No granny, ah won’t let no-pony die today” Applebloom told the granny. “Kid get down, these ponies work for Flim and Flam, they take ponies farm’s and kill homeless ponies” Wright yelled. This comment resulted in a gasp of confusion from the entire group, “Wait what?” Rainbow Dash gasped, “You heard me and you know what I’m talking about, you’re a bunch of goons hired by Flim and Flam to control the farm while they sit their office building” Wright snarled.

“Whoa nelly, hold yer horses their hotshot, thinkin yah got yer information mixed up” Applejack replied and Wright looked to her. “Prove it” Wright snarled, Applejack rolled her eyes “Well some long time ago Granny Smith and her father came into what is now known as Ponyville and set up a small farm, later when business blossomed they built what you see here before you” Applejack informed Wright. Wright let out a sigh of guilt. “Sorry I didn’t know, every town I’ve gone to Flim and Flam have taken over and I just thought that this town was no different” Wright apologized, “Well yah shouldn’t just go assuming” Applejack laughed.

Wright began to lower the Spas, “Didn’t just go assuming, asked the mayor and she told me that Flim and Flam had been to the farm” Wright explained and Applejack let out a hearty laugh. “Yeah, they had been here but we sent em packin… right RD” Applejack said with a wink. “Right got it AJ” she said and zipped towards Wright, “No RD I meant” Applejack yelled out but it was too late for the Pegasus to change her course, she was going to drive her hooves right into his chest at high speeds, probably breaking most of the bones in his body.

Wright snarled and like a flash of lightning swung the Spas 12’s handle forward in a striking motion, connecting at the very perfect moment. The handle of the shotgun collided with Rainbow Dash’s nose and she lost her momentum and was slammed into the ground. Blood gushed from her nose which was smashed sideways, it was obviously broken, Wright leveled the shotgun at her head “You’re stupid” he snarled and once again the entire situation resulted in a standoff between Wright and Granny Smith as they leveled their shotguns at each other.

In one fluid motion he kneeled down on Rainbow Dash, his right knee resting on her chest so she couldn’t move, and took aim on Granny Smith. “ALRIGHT ENOUGH” bellowed a tremendous voice. Wright looked to the voice’s origin to see it had come from the large red stallion, “You” Big Mac ordered, pointing to Wright “Put down your gun, and Granny put down your blasted shotgun” he ordered. Granny Smith laid down her shotgun and Wright followed suit but he never took his hoof off his revolver’s handle, keeping ready just in case this was another trap.

“Explain tah me how exactly yah think it is” Big Mac asked and Wright brought his knee off of Rainbow Dash’s chest, she gasped heavily and took in deep breaths of air. Wright fell back to all fours so that he was more balanced, but quickly moved his right hoof to his revolver again. “You’re all henchman hired by Flim and Flam, just like every other town, mayor even told me that Flim and Flam had been here” Wright explained. “So what’re yah doin, killin every-pony that’s involved?” Big Mac asked making it sound like it was unjustifiable. “Precisely, I kill the henchmen and give the farms back to the original owners” Wright told him and Big Mac took a gulp.

Applejack stepped forward “Sorry bout muh friend’s bashful behaviour, guess she thought ah was tellin her tah attack yah” Applejack apologized. “Deadly mistake… listen I’m sorry that I almost killed you all… minus the filly” Wright said and Applebloom interjected “Well if yer goin around killin every-pony why didn’t yah just shoot me dead?” she asked with fear in her voice. “As cold as I may seem, I’m not ruthless… I have morals and I would never kill a foal” Wright explained and Rainbow Dash staggered up, flinching a little in pain, she let out a pained howl as she cracked her nose back into place.

Wright picked up his shotgun slowly and slung it back around his chest “Well I best be getting on then, sorry for the mishap” Wright said. “You owe me one” Rainbow Dash said, he voice was kind of distorted because her nose was broken, “Then yah shouldn’t have charged me… for a second time” Wright chuckled. He began to start his bike but realized that he still had no idea where Flim and Flam were hiding out. He put down the kickstand and got back off the Harley, Derpy gave him a strange look… wait no that was just the look she always had.

“Don’t suppose you know where Flim and Flam are hiding do yah?” Wright asked and Derpy raised her hoof “Oh I do… I can show you to” she began but Applejack covered Derpy’s mouth with her hoof “On one condition” Applejack said. “Oh boy… I wonder what it could be. I love surprises” Wright asked with sarcasm in his voice. Applejack pointed to the destroyed barn. “Well, we’re gonna need some-ponies tah help us out and if yah really are sorry yah’ll help us fix the barn… then we’ll tell yah bout Flim and Flam” Applejack offered.

Wright looked at the barn, it was pretty much just a heap of rubble now. Wright sighed “Alright deal”
