The Bounty Hunter In Equestria
In the forest
Previous ChapterNext ChapterHank wakes ups to a sharp pain in his stomach. He grabs his stomach to stop the painful grumble of hunger. He remembers he hasn't eaten in two whole days. He decides to forget about the town and Discord for a while, an focuses on his main target now. Food. Hank grabs his hat and puts it on, along with concealing his gun in his coat. He grabs the knife and yanks it out the dirt. He looks outside, there isn't much light out yet. To Hank's estimation, it looks to be around six in the morning.
Hank walks out of the cave, as he cleans his knife from the dirt on the tip. He puts the knife where it belongs, in his belt in the back. He looks around, trying to spot a source of food. Unfortunately, there is no animal in sight. Hank looks upset, and just walks, continuing the path he was on the before.
A couple minutes of walking, he hears faint sound of someone talking. Hank follows the sound, keeping his head low just in case these things were dangerous. He pulls out his hunting knife and finds the source of the talking. It is Discord, talking to another human!
"I do hope this deal is a sure thing?" Discord says at the human. The human looks at a little bag, and nods in agreement. Hank looks at the pair, still keeping himself out of sight behind a bush. Just then Discord chuckles and disappears. The human looks around and start walking. Hank follows the human, hoping he would lead Hank to the town.
Hank followed the mysterious man until he reaches a familiar sight, the dirt road. He jumps out from his hiding place, and grabs the other human, bringing him down to his knees. Hank holds the hunting knife on the mans back, pressing it on his spine.
"Who are you? And why are you here?" Hank questions the human, still holding his choke hold on his knees.
"I don't know what you’re talking about" the man trying to pry Hanks arm off his neck. Hank tightens his grip to stop the mans attempt to break free.
"You, aside from me, are the only human who has stepped foot in this strange new world. I saw you talking to that creature back there. I know you're here to kill six 'ponies'. Now start talking or Ill cut a hole in your back and feed you to the wolfs around here!" Hank threatens the man. The man struggles to get Hank off him, but fails. Hank pushes the tip of the knife into the man a bit, causing him to let out a small scream.
"Ok! Ok! I'll tell you! Just stop!" The man screams, and Hank pulls the knife out of him, but still holds in a tight chokehold.
"My name is Micheal! That thing wanted me to kill six 'ponies' here! He payed me in gold coins! There was no way I could say no!" The man lets out, squirming in agony.
"Do you know that these ponies aren't bad people! The creature back there is telling you lies!" Hank tells the man.
"But I need the money! I have a family to feed!" Micheal says, keeping his hands on Hanks arm. Hank looks at Micheal, and releases the man dropping him on the floor. Micheal coughs a bit, as Hanks grip was strong.
"It's people like you that make me sick." Hank says, pulling out his Beretta, and pointing at Micheal.
"I'm afraid I can't let you hurt these innocent creatures." Hank says. Then he pulls the trigger, killing Micheal instantly. Hank puts the gun in the his coat, and picks up the body. Hank takes the body far from the road, and leaves it where Discord was talking to him, as if to say 'here's your killer, and I killed him.'
Hank returns to the dirt road. He looks around and no one is in sight. He walks to Twilight's library, because that is the only place he can remember the path to. After a couple minutes of walking, he spots a pony reading a book on a bench. He walks up to her to ask her where the library was, since his calculations weren't exactly correct.
"Hey!" He shouts at the green pony. The pony looks up at Hank.
"Do you know whe-" Hank is cut off when the pony starts screaming.
"He's here! The murderer is here!" She screams before running. Hank looks around confused, before he begins to backs away from the bench. He continues his path down who knows where, hoping he would eventually reach the library. He walks for a couple of minutes.
Suddenly, two blue ponies with horns, along with the sobbing pony that ran away, appear in front of Hank from around the corner.
“There he is! The one who tried to kill Discord!” The crying green pony yells out. At this point two choices run through Hanks mind. One: stay and fight the two ponies, causing him to pull more attention to himself. Or two: Run from the two ponies and try to find Twilight as quickly as possible. The two blue ponies run towards Hank, and his decision is made.
Hank runs away from the ponies, but is suddenly stopped by a tugging in his arms, pulling him down. He lands on his back, his head facing the blue ponies. He realizes a strange blue-ish light on his hands, and he can’t move them. That only means he has one choice left. As soon as one gets to him, he throws a kick over his head, to the pony. The pony gets smacked on the forehead and falls, causing one of the lights to stop. Hank sees that one arm is free, and uses it to his advantage. He grabs the other pony’s horn, causing the other light to stop. Hank throws the pony forward, and quickly jumps up. He looks at the first pony, who is getting up from the fall, and runs to tackle it. He successfully throws the other down, and picks him up holding him in a chokehold.
“Enough!” Hank yells, still holding the pony in his deathlock. The second pony gets up and looks at Hank, with hate in his eyes.
“I am just trying to find Twilight!” Hank yells out at them. The pony in his arms struggle. Hank notices a crowd gathering around them.
“Let him go!” the second pony says. Hank sees that the crowd gets bigger, and the onlookers are starting to get frightened.
“Why do you want to get me!?” Hank yells out at the second pony. To which the pony just gives him a long stare. Hank pulls out his Beretta and puts it on the first pony’s head. The audience gasps. “Tell me!”
“You know what you did!” the second pony says. Hank looks at the onlookers, trying to spot either Twilight or Pinkie, but has no luck.
“I have not done anything!” Hank says tightening his grip on the pony’s neck. The second pony tries to take a step forward, but stops when he realizes Hank takes a step back, dragging the pony with him.
“Put the weapon down!” the second pony commands. Hank says nothing, still holding the gun positioned on the first pony.
“I’m warning you! Put the weapon down, NOW!” the same pony yells. Hank still firmly holds with firearm on the first pony’s skull.
“Tell me why you’re trying to capture me!” Hank yells back, wanting to know why the two ponies are after him.
“We are here to bring you to jail for attempted murder, and threatening the princess!” the pony yells, scowling. Hank understands the attempted murder part, but threatening the princess? He didn’t know there was a princess here!
“Whoever told you this, it’s all lies!” Hank halfway lies. The second pony ignores this and continues negotiation with him.
“Look, you will be judged by full extent of the law. You will be judged by the princess herself, but if you keep resisting arrest, then we will have to skip the court session and sentence you to the first public execution in a thousand years!” the pony says briefly. Hank looks at the pony and makes up his mind.
Hank let’s go of the first pony, drops to his knees, and puts his hands on his head. The two ponies grab both his hands and puts them behind his back. The second pony magically summons a pair of hoof cuffs (that are also suitable for human hands) and puts them on Hank. Hank gets up and the ponies strip him from his Beretta and his knife. They lead Hank around the corner, to reveal a carriage. They get Hank into the carriage, while they get in front to pull it.
After a while of sitting in the dusted seat, the carriage stops. Hank looks out the window and sees some sort train station. The door opens, and the two ponies tilt their heads to say ‘come out.’ Hank gets out of the carriage, and the two ponies lead him to a cart. Hank gets in the cart and looks around. There were more ponies, only these ponies weren’t like the brightly colored ponies back at the little town. These ponies were slightly darker, and cuffed on their hooves.
Hank sits down on the seat, next to a grey pony with a scar down his eye. He looks at the pony, and slowly shakes his head in disapproval. The pony notices Hank, and turns to look at him, as the train begins to move.
“You’re not from around here are you?” the grey pony asks. Hank looks forward.
“What was your first clue?” Hank says, maintaining a straight face. The pony chuckles, and looks forward as well.
“Probably the hair, but I can’t be too sure.” the pony replies. Hank joins the chuckle.
“What are you in for?” the grey pony asks Hank.
“Attempted murder.” Hank says, returning the scowl upon his face.
“Who was the one you were going to murder?” the grey pony asks.
“Someone named ‘Twilight Sparkle’” Hank replies to the grey pony. The grey pony looks at Hank wide eyed.
“You were going to kill the one that saved us? Are you crazy!?” the grey pony says to Hank. He replies by looking at the pony and raising a brow.
“Saved you?” Hank tells the grey pony. The pony takes a deep breath.
“Pardon me. I need to calm down a bit.” the pony breathes for a while, “Twilight saved us from a shape shifting queen, named Chrysalis. Then she saved us from a draconequus named Discord. Then a kind name Sombra.” Hank recognizes Discords name, making his rage for him grow. The train stops, and a blue pony opens the door.
“Everypony up!” the blue pony says, and everyone gets up, including Hank.
“By the way, the names Grey Camps.” the grey pony whispers to Hank. Hank replies with a nod.
“Everypony out!” the blue pony says, and the line of ponies (and one human) begin to walk out. Hank finds himself in another station, filled with the same type of carriages back at the previous one. He was placed in a carriage separate to Grey. Hank’s carriage starts to head over to an unknown location.
After half an hour of travelling, the door to the carriage opens. Hank is taken out by a white pony this time. The white pony leads Hank out, and once he is out, he sees himself in front of a very large building. This must be the castle. Hank is escorted into the said castle, by the white pony that pulled him out.
Hank is inside, he notices the pony leading navigating him through this colossal palace, holding Hanks two main weapons in a backpack that goes around his waist. The ponies lead him to a huge door, and pushes it open. Inside, he sees a big white pony with wings and a horn, surrounded by smaller white horses holding spears.
The white pony leading Hank stops. The pony signals Hank to stop walking, and he walks over to the big white pony.
“Here is the creature you requested.” the little white pony says.
“Good. Bring him forth to me.” the big white one says. The little one beckons Hank to come. Hank walks over and stops in front of the big one.
“Do not fear me creature. My name is Princess Celestia.”
