Blood Brothers

Big Mac arrived at the library around midnight. He walked behind it and saw Gold and his team.

"Macintosh, you actually showed up. I'm surprised." Sparky said as he cleaned his sniper rifle. Big Mac then noticed that they were all armed. Sparky had a sniper. Shinning had a spear and a SMG. Gold had a katana, which the helt was bronze and in the shape of a dragon, and a revolver on his sides. He also got a look at Gold and Sparky's cutie marks. Sparky's was a short currceting microphone, and Gold's was a bloody dagger. Big Mac thought Gold looked intimidating before, but now he was kinda afraid of him.

"I suppose your wondering why we're armed." Gold asked.

"Eeyup," Big Mac responded.

"I still don't think this is a good idea Gold," Sparky stated.

"Well I do," Gold said back to him. "Anyway, Big Macintosh you have to promise to tell no pony what you herd or saw here."

"Eeyup."

"I'll take that as you promising."

"Eeyup."

"Ok then, Sparky and I are Princess Celestia's private assassins. Our latest mission is to find and kill the leader of the terrorists that ponynapped your daughter. We needed somepony that can use magic so when we learned that Princess Candece was captured by the terrorist Shinning Armor agreed to join us. But, there has been one hitch in our plan." Gold explained.

"And that would be?"

"We need raw power. So Big Macintosh I have a proposal for you. You join our team and we have a better chance of saving their captives, including your daughter."

Big Mac thought about this for a moment. He wondered if he could trust them, then again this was his only lead on where AppleJack was. "Ah'll help y'all, but once we get AppleJack out, her and I go straight back to Ponyville."

"Great, now we have to see if you can fight. We'll head to the fields just out of town."

They Walked to the fields, and Sparky looked at Big Mac, "Come on old timer lets spar." He demanded.

"Ah don't wanna hurt ya." Big Mac said looking at Sparky.

"You hurt me... HAHAHAHA!"

"...Your on punk."

"Sparky your hooflet take them off, we don't a repeat of Ponyvania." Gold demanded.

"What's so special 'bout those hooflets?" Big Mac asked.

"I'll show you," Sparky said proudly as blades shot out of the hooflets. "I should take them off, I've accidentally killed a few ponies before with them." He took them off.

In the next few minutes, Sparky was on the ground in pain.

"Ow!" he shouted repeatedly.

"Welcome to the Blood Brothers, Big Macintosh." Gold said, putting a hoof on Big Mac's shoulder. "Tell goodbye to any pony you truely trust. Our train leaves tomorrow at noon, if you late we will leave without you."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was early when Big mac walked into his wive's shop. He still wasn't sure how to tell her, but he was running out of time, he needed to tell her. She was at the counter setting up for the day.

She notice Big Mac walk in, and said, "John is something wrong ... Did you get bad news about AppleJack?"

"Nope and eeyup."

"What do you mean?"

"She's alive, but she's been ponynapped by terrorists."

"Oh my Celestia."

"Ah ran into some ponies who told me. They said they had a plan to get her and other ponies out, but they needed some muscle, so they asked me to join 'em."

"What!? Big mac do you even know if you can trust them or if you'll even live?"

"Ah don't, but they're ma only lead on where AppleJack is, and ah got to take it."

Honey Suckle looked at her husband very worried and very scared.

"I promise I'll be back with AppleJack in a few months."

"Please be careful, and get our daughter back."

"Eeyup." He kissed his wive then walked out and to the train station.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the station he met up with the team.

"Ah'm ready," he told them.

Gold stared his new team member up and down. "You know I can't promise that you or AppleJack will live, I can only promise a chance to save her."

"Ah know, but ah have to try."

"The train heads for Manehatten."

"What's there?"

"A spy that we can catch and question."

"You sure your up to this, its your last chance to back out, old timer." Sparky said, actually having a bit of concern in his voice.

"Ah got to give everythin' ah got to save AppleJack."

"All a board." The conductor shouted.

"Here we go, everypony ready," Gold asked as he looked at his team, knowing that he could be leading them to there deaths.

"Yes," Shinning answered.

"Eeyup." Big Mac said.

"Oh Ya! Lets go down this Highway To He-" His singing was cut off.

"Hay, don't sing that its copywrited. You want the author to get sued?" Pinkie Pie said then hopped away.

"Wha?"

"That's Pinkie Pie for ya, best not to question her." Big Mac said with a chuckle.

"We'll see ponies crazier, trust me." Gold said.
