Clean Up Crew

Bon-Bon grumbled as she walked into the elevator, cursing herself for not knowing about her partners clearances. Every one knew Lyra Heartstrings, she was the best dam boarder guard that had ever joined, and when word had gotten out that she was to be assigned a new partner, she had fought hand over hoof to get the assignment. She had admittedly skipped over looking at her new partner’s paperwork, and now she was beating herself up for her reactions.

She finally reached the bottom floor, exiting out to the under city and making a bee line for her favorite karaoke bar, she needed to blow off some steam and singing always helped in that regard. As she walked she heard a call behind her, looking back to see Boss exiting another elevator and walking toward her. She stopped so he could catch up, smiling at him as he caught up to her.

“Well nice to see you Boss, I didn’t know you were back from the field.”

“I got stuck doing paperwork like usual, so when I heard that you had come back early I figured you would be heading down to the bar and thought I might join you. I was also curious with how things were going with Lyra now that your partners.”

Bon-Bon gave him a smirk, of course he wanted to know about Lyra. It was no small secret that he was the only guy in the entire core, Pony or ponytaur, that was willing to have relations with Lyra. That of coarse led a lot of ponies to believe that the two were lovers by some extension, but Bon-Bon knew better, the old codger just liked fucking babes who had power, and Lyra was practically a princess in every right.

“She seemed kind of out of it during boarder patrol, and when it was time to go she sent me back ahead of her, said she wanted to stay a while. You wouldn’t happen to know anything about that would you?”

Boss chuckled knowingly, drawing a raised eyebrow from the mare beside him. “You know today’s mothers day right?” Bon-Bon nodded, “Lyra lost her mother to the feral on mother’s day, and so every mothers day she stays out in the field for the entire day and night, it’s of her way of dealing with the grief.”

Well that was a punch in the gut thought Bon-Bon, now she really felt shity. She shook her head and motioned for the old codger to follow her, she was definitely going to need a good round on the stage after hearing something like that.

She pulled the arrow out of the creature’s skull, wiping off the tip with a specially enchanted washcloth and then putting it back into her quiver, and then proceeded to pull out her roll out knife and surgical set and got to work. Despite the fact that the Feral were in essence uncontrollable monsters that feasted on pony flesh, their blood, organs and even their bones were highly valuable and could be used for many different things. She first used a needle to draw out what blood remained into vials she had on her, putting then into their case as she filled each one. After all the blood was drained she pulled out one of the knives, cutting open the flesh and peeling it away from the bones, wrapping up both the bones and organs in specially treated wrappings before opening up the magically enchanted pouch in her satchel and placing them all inside.

After she was finished she got up, putting away her kit and then running over to a nearby building, using the claws on her gloves and boots to climb up the wall so that she could get to the rooftops above. As she ran up the side she heard a screech from behind, and looked to see several runners speeding her way, their thin frames moving in exaggerated speed as they leaped from the building adjacent to hers, and she grinned. She reached to her left hip, pulling out the twin ninjato and running up to greet them.

She sliced the first one in half, using its lower half as a springboard to leap at the next one, cutting off both its arms as she flew past and latched onto the other building. She turned to see the creature smack into the side of the building, laughing as she watched it fall and splatter on the ground. But as she laughed she heard a roar above her, and looked up to see a brute leaping at her, intending to take her down to the ground below. She leaped off the building, using the boosters on her power armor to slow her descent as the monster crashed to the ground.

She landed on the ground, putting away her swords and leaped at the monster, punching it in the face as it tired to get back to its feet. As it shook of the blow, she dove under it, lifting it up and through ting it into a nearby car. It got back up, grabbing the car and throwing it at her, which she kicked out of the way before putting three arrows into each of its lungs. She watched it fight to breath, taking vindictive pleasure in watching it suffer before putting a final arrow in its heart.

She sighed after the beast feel, once again putting her bow away and taking to the roof tops. She needed a good run before she rested, and broken rooftops always provided the best terrain.

Bon-Bon sauntered up to the stage; the bar patrons cheering as they saw who was singing next. The guy at the turn tables gave her a wink, leaning over the mike to announce her.

“Fillies and gentle colts, for your listening pleasure I am pleased to announce the return of our beloved Bonyway!”

The bar erupted into cheers and whistles, Bon-Bon not even blushing as she grabbed the mike, beginning to sway to the music the DJ started up, and after a moment she began to sing.

(First Song)

She let her voice fill the room, using the magic held within it to stir the emotions of all the patrons. She was what everypony called a siren, a mare gifted with a magical voice that when used to sing, could influence others in various ways, from giving them a nice emotional boost to actually augmenting those that heard her if she put in enough energy.

Today she wanted to just give all the guys a boost, for most of them were from the boarder patrol, and she new the next best thing to a mare or stallion to bed was the gentle caress of her voice.

After she finished the first song, she bowed as they began to clap with a ferocious fever. When she finished bowing, she looked up to find Lyra standing near the entrance of the bar, a smile on her face. She watched as Lyra lifted her hand to her ear, and then heard a click as her built-in communicator turned on.

“You mind taking a request partner.”

Bon-Bon didn’t really know what to say, but she decided to cup her chin in her hand, which she knew nopony at the bar would think odd, she always took a little break when deciding the next song. She whispered into her palm, and then listened to the request, smiling and then giving her consent. She walked over to the DJ, telling him the song then returning to the stage, grabbing the mike again as the music started to play.

(Second Song)

She began to sing, but unlike the last time, she focused the majority of her power on Lyra. She still focused a bit of it on the other patrons, but she wanted it mostly to be for her, it was her request after all. She poured her heart and soul into the peace, making it a personal experience for both of them as she continued to sing, noting that it was having the desired effect on Lyra, her face flushed red as sweat ran down it.

After she finished she bowed as the crowed clapped, looking up to see Lyra lifting her hand to her ear, her face flushed as a panting sound came into Bob-Bon’s ear. “Very impressive partner, I think you earned yourself a nice reward from me, meet me in my room when you’re done.”

Bon-Bon’s felt her eyes widened with joy, repressing a mad giggle as she watched Lyra leave out the door, and then she turned to take requests from the crowd.
