“Where’s the fucking money!?” the school bully yelled as he hit Sterling in the face again, he pulled his hand back and threw a haymaker and you could hear Sterling’s jaw break. The bully threw Sterling on the ground; no pony could see them anyways as they were concealed by the shadow of the ally in Phillydelphia. Two of the bullies Friends came around him and picked the feeble ball of mass off the ground and held him, the bully punched him in the stomach just below the sternum. “Wake up!” he yelled as he punched him again “Wake up!” he yelled again, Sterling began to open his eyes…

Bang bang bang! “Wake up Legion we got a job for ya!” Legion slowly began opening his eyes being greeted by the red glare of his alarm clock; He felt the heat and movement of some one behind him in his bed. The memories of the night before began to flood to him like a hurricane although he had trouble remembering why that ponies there. Legion remembers now, she was just some bitch he picked up last night. He gets up pulls on some ratty torn pants and a dark green shirt, Legion grabbed his 9mm off the side table and stumbled tiredly over to the tenement door it was dark he could only tell it was day light outside because his black curtain had light barely spilling threw. Bang bang “Legion wake the fucking hell up we got a job for ya!” He opened the door slightly with the bar lock holding the door almost completely shut. Legion looked down at the pony as he was an abnormally big and bulky earth pony, “what do you want?” Legion said with a deep gravelly voice it almost sounded as if he had nails stuck in his throat. The other pony stared up at him angrily.

“We have a job for you” he said handing a small manila package threw the small opening. Legion looked at it “is this front pay?” he said “yes it is 5 large as usual; the job pays 20 thousand bits including that if you accept”. Legion just kind of grumbled and unlocked the door and let the pony come in, he sat at a glass table over in the corner just in front of legions bed, the room wasn’t very big but most tenements weren’t, “who’s that?” the pony said pointing at the half naked female pony in the bed “just some chick I got last night” Legion replied. The pony noticed some unfinished crack lines on the table “you mind?” he asked, Legion tossed a small straw on the table after he was done legion stared at him “ you have given me jobs the last two times now, what happened to Riftlock?” the other pony pulled his head from the table with wide eyes “oh huh.. He got shot last week in a sting op by the law enforcement.”
“Oh… what’s your name?”
“Clyde”
Legion grunted his affirmation “so what’s this job?
“Well you see it’s kinda a long job, you gotta train this kid how to be an Enforcer”
“For how long?”
“Till Uptson says he’s ready”
“Huh. Ok is there extended pay?”
“Yes 2 thousand bits a month, granted he stays alive”
“I’ll do it”

“Ok here’s the address” the small grey pegases slides a paper over to Legion at the table “the kid will have the rest of the money on your arrival” “Ok” legion agreed “see you on the next assignment” The pony promptly got up and left Legions tenement , Legion left a note for the pony in his bed for her to leave when she wakes.

He passed by an ally with some young kid sitting in an old plastic chair begging for food. Huh lazy ass bum kids he thought to himself, Legion looked down at the paper 274 Bradfordpare. He looked at it in disappointment; he was going to have to go into a worse shit place than he lived to get the kid. 30 minutes later he found the place; it was graffitied allover and had an old iron buzz in door with some young punk sitting on the front steps. “This 274 Bradfordpare?” legion asked the kid “you Legion?” “Yea” legion replied realizing he had to transform this kid into an Enforcer, he thought it might not be impossible. “Here’s your money, so you’re my mentor huh?” Legion flinched he hasn’t heard anybody use any mildly intelligent vocabulary in a long time, “yea, now get up we got money to collect, first guy we gotta beat” “why?” the kid asked, Legion looked at him and realized his day was going to be a long one.

"So whats your name kid?" Legion asked looking ahead noticing rival Enforcers "Lazav, what kind of name is Legion anyways?" "it wasnt always my name" Legion replied
"oh yea?, what was your first name then?"
"dont worry about it kid"

They arived at the first stop they had to make that day. "so whos this pony we're going after?" Lazav asked
"some dead beat that owes money" Legion replied. they reached their destintion shortly, Legion made his trainee stand back and he pulled his gun braced him self and busted the front door down of the shack.The guy was fucking some crack whore he found as Legion busted in, he quickly knocked out the mare the stallion was mounting then slamed him into the ground.
"Im going to ask once before you get hurt, where is the money you owe?" Legion said in a deep flat almost demonic voice.
The pony just spat in his face "So be it" legion replied "Boy! get your ass in here!" "my name is Lazav"
"its Boy as long as i say it is" Legion replied becomeing slightly irritated with Lazavs rebuttals "now watch and learn your gonna have to do this some day" Legion turned his back to get a bottle that was half empty on a table and the naked pony stabed him with a syringe that was on the floor and tried to run, Legion, turned in pain and shot the pony in the knee then shot and killed him.

"Now look at you, you dumbass!" Legion yelled at the dead pony "Shit could have gone real smooth and you handed over money but now your dead! Why did you make me kill you!? I didnt want to kill you!" Legion yelled as he kicked the dead body Lazav was in the corner freaked out by the whole ordeal as never seeing anyone actually be killed before.

Legion ransacked the place looking for the cash and found it behind the freezer panel in the door. Legion threw two hundred bits too thesmall bloodied mare that was still unconsious. "Lets get outa here... And get this shit out of my back" Lazav didnt move still shocked by the stallion being killed "What you aint never seen nobody get shot before?" Legion asked Lazav slowed switched his gaze to Legion as tears welled in his eyes "Thats just fucking wonderful" Legion yelled "They want me to train some pussy ass punk to be an Enforcer!" Legion grabs Lazav by the arm and helps him out the door they start to go back to Legions tenement so Lazav can get over his shocked reaction of seeing a dead pony

Legion walking in the door first and set the kid down at the glass table, between his departure and now the mare he got last night found enough drugs to get a hit and pass out on the floor. Legion kicks her... No movement, Legion roles her over and... Her neck is cut from ear to ear. Legion quickly gets up and checks the hall and then checks the only two windows in his room.

He lives in a small 8 by 15 foot tenement room, and Legion realizes there is one place to hide in there and thats in his closet parallel to his bed, he cant remeber the last time he was in there but it was cracked slightly, Legion checks Lazav, he is still in shock staring at the table. So Legion slowly approaching the closet he points his pistol at the door and slowly grabs the handle and opens it with a quick jerk... Nothing, no one there, Legion closes the door and checks the hall one more time. Its time to move.
