The Bounty Hunter In Equestria

Hank and Grey crouch behind a bush, and watched out for anyone.

"We can't go in detected." Grey says, scanning the area for ponies.

"You could, I can't." Hank points out.

"No, I can't. I escaped from their 'high tech' prison. Crummy guards might be looking all over for me." Grey says as Hank turns to look at him.

"What were you in for?" Hank asks, and Grey begins to grin evilly.

"Lets just say, that after being in four wars, I have a thirst that cannot be quenched." Grey rubs his hooves to the thought.

"Murder?" Hank asks as he raises a brow.

"Precisely. I am wanted in seven different towns, including this one." Grey points out. They both continue watching out for entry.

"Ok there!" Grey points at a carriage. Hank looks over to the carriage Grey was pointing at. "We'll hijack that. Then we'll hitch a ride over to the train station. Then we'll head over to Canterlot, find a way into the castle, and end Discord on the spot. We'll have to sneak into the castle if we're going to ki-"

"Ok shut up." Hank interrupts Grey in the middle of his plan. "First off, we're not going to Discord. We're going to find Twilight."

"Why Twilight?" Grey asks baffled. Hank turns to look at Grey.

"Because Twilight is studying under the princess. If anything, she'll know how to navigate her way inside the castle." Hank points out. "Besides now that I think about it, she asked me not to kill him."

"Then why are you going to kill him again?" Grey asks scratching his head. Hank thinks, looking for an answer.

"Ok maybe I won't, but Discord brought me here so he is the one who is going to take me back." Hank looks forward, once again scanning the area.

"Back where?" Grey curiously asks.

"To my home. Back on earth, because I'm assuming this isn't it." Hank says.

"Ok. So how are we getting to Twilight?" The question makes Hank look around with more attention.

"There." Hank points at a bush behind a house. "We'll move behind houses, through backyards and such, until we reach Twilight."

"Sounds good to me." Grey replies with a nod.

Hank looks around, and sees that no one is around. That was his chance. He swiftly made his way behind a house, and into some bushes as Grey maintains his position. After he reaches his destination, he signals Grey that it is ok to move. Grey looks both ways, then follows Hank behind the house.

"What now?" Grey asks.

"Ssh!" Hank crouches downs even lower, and so does Grey. Hank points over to a direction, and Grey sees two ponies walking down the road. As soon as they left, Hank arose and made a quick dash to the next house. Once he got there, he signaled Grey to move.

Grey threw his hands around. Hank raised a brow, and beckoned him even more. Grey then pointed to his right, and Hank looked. There was the cyan pony dashing for him. Hank didn't realize the pony was coming until she had already tackled him down. He recognized the pony by his encounter back at the library.

"Thought you could sneak past me, did you?" The cyan pony said with pride. Just then, Hank used the same technique as before to get her off of him, but failed.

"That doesn't work twice!" Rainbow Dash said. Hank struggled, but had no chance of escaping her that time. She caught him, and she could do whatever she wanted to him now.

"Alright. You got me. What do you want?" Hank asked.

"I want you to leave Ponyville, and don't come back!" She demanded, raising her voice by every word. There was a silence between the two for a while.

"You don't understand! Twilight is in trouble! Discord is trying to-"

"Stop trying to trick me! I know what you're trying to do, and I'm going to stop you!" The cyan pegasus interrupted. Once again, the silence occurred.

Suddenly a loud 'thwack' came from behind Rainbow Dash, and she landed on Hank's chest. Rainbow Dash was unconscious. Hank looked over to the source of the mystery sound, only to find Grey standing there with a wooden plank and a crooked smile on his face.

"Aww. Looks like you're friend here decided to die in the middle of your conversation." Grey said with a sinister chuckle.

"She's not dead. She is still breathing." Hank reassured, getting up from the ground, and dusting himself off.

"Well then my job here isn't done." Grey said raising the plank over his head.

"No! Don't kill her!" Hank yelled, raising a hand. Grey lowered his weapon.

"So what are we supposed to do with her?" Grey impatiently asked. Hank thought for a while, before coming up with a plan.

"We'll take her to Twilight. She'll know what to do." Hank said, picking up Rainbow's limp body.

"Alright then. I guess that will wor-"

"Rainbow Dash?" A mysterious child-like voice emitted. Both Hank and Grey looked over to the direction of the voice. It was a small green pony with a blue mane.

"Hey there kid. How long have you been standing there?" Grey began. "You didn't see anything, did you?" The small colt looked at Rainbow Dash, then at Grey's wooden plank, then at Hank. Hank realized that the little foal was putting in the pieces to this puzzle.

"Listen kid. Rainbow Dash here was just sleeping in your backyard, and we decided to take her home." Hank tried to explain. Just then, the foal's assumed mother came into the picture.

"Star? Are you out he- Oh my Celestia!" The presumed mother yelled out. "You're the one who escaped and is trying to kill the princess!" She then looked at the body of Rainbow Dash. "And now you killed Rainbow Dash!"

"No! You got it all wrong! I was ju-"

"Help! Somepony help us!" She yelled out.

"David! Now would be the time to get the hell out of here!" Grey yelled out. At that, they both sprinted out of the backyard, and into the road. They were stopped by a group of ponies in front. They tried running back the way they came, but was halted by yet another group of angry ponies.

Hank and Grey were surrounded. Hank shuffled Rainbow's body around so that he may be more comfortable, but kept his eyes fixed on the circle of angry ponies around. They started closing in.

"Look! He killed Rainbow Dash!" Someone from the crowd yelled.

"She isn't dead!" Hank yelled back, trying to keep the situation under control.

"Stay back! Not a single step further!" Grey swung his wooden plank at the mob to keep them in a distance, but the mob continued closing in. Hank knew that wouldn't get out of this, and he couldn't hurt them. That would only make things worse.

Hank only had two options in this. Either he would turn himself in again, and him and Grey would be sent to Celestia which he could try to convince her that he isn't a bad guy. Or, he would stand his ground, try to find a way out of this circle with Grey, and continue his search for Twilight.

If he turns himself in, he would risk public execution. If he fought his way out, he would worsen his chances with the ponies trust, and if he manages to get caught again, then the public execution would be a sure thing.

Hank thought it through. Then his final decision was made.
