Lone Wolf Mercenary Services
Chapter 28: Long time coming
Previous Chapter Next ChapterOf all places they could have set up a nest, it had to be by the old campsite. Of course, why not right? Kidnap the woman I love and bring her to the last place I'd ever want to visit. One thing was for sure, after I torched the place, I'd have the head of Chrysalis hung above my fireplace by the end of the month. Clawback, Pyro and Mothball were tagging behind me, with all their gear on with determined expressions on their faces. The only reason Moony wasn't here for the attack was that someone had to look after Scrap.
I had told the guys they didn't need to come, this was personal and I wanted it to just be me that tore the place apart, but of course they didn't listen. "You fuck with one of us, you fuck with all of us." Is what they had said with the biggest shit eating grins you would have ever seen. They wanted to tear Chrysalis apart just as much as I did, but fit now, ripping another one of her precious royals into itty bitty pieces was close enough. Mothball was probably harbouring the same level of anger I was. Not because if Molly, but because of his hatred of his other royal brothers and sisters and what they were doing.
Although I guess there was one silver lining to this situation, I'd be able to take out another royal along with Draken and the rest of the Skull Bandits at the same time.
However...there was one obstacle blocking my way to the nest. Someone was still in the camp, I knew who it was, you probably already guessed by now right? Yeah, it's that asshole Carl.
When me and the guys reached the old campsite, we found all but one of the tents destroyed, Carl standing in front of a pathetic camp fire made of tiny branches, leaves and thin sticks. "Well, look who it is, the first traitor, and he's brought his little fuck buddies." He mocked as he turned to me with a glare.
Pyro was about to torch him but I placed a hand on his back, signaling for him to back off. I motioned for them to move ahead, this was something I was dealing with myself. The three looked at me with concern before nodding, walking past the grouchy old man in front of me.
"What? No quips? No long speech about how much of an asshole I a-"
"What is your problem?" I interrupted him with a question that should have been answered by now.
"Don't interrupt m-"
"Shut up and answer the question asshole." I snapped firmly while pointing my gun at him, something he didn't expect me to have. "Why do you always give everyone a hard time and why do you think you're better than every single being on this damn planet?" He stood there in silence, he tried to speak several times but came out with nothing. "Nothing huh? Well I'll tell you something. All you are is a narcissist who doesn't care about anyone but himself. You think you're too good for everybody else, well guess what? Everyone left because no matter who the met in this world, they'd still be more pleasant to be around than you."
I lowered my gun and saw the look of rage on his face.
"You know, I'm sure there's a reason you're such an ass, but I can't find it. Some kind of disorder I guess, but that's not important, YOU aren't important, so I'm done wasting my time with you." I put my weapon away and walked right past him. "Have a nice loveless life Carl, burn in hell."
After a few minutes of walking, I had caught up to the three others, all waiting outside the nest entrance with two unconscious bandits and three dead changelings laying on the ground. "Damn you guys don't mess around. Alright, let's do this thing."
"You seem...awfully calm." Mothball commented as he pulled out his dagger.
"Well, what happened back there was kind of therapeutic, so you won't have to worry about me going into a blood soaked rage, other than when I get my hands on Diptera and Draken." I replied with a frown while punching my fist into my palm. "Now, let's do what we do best."
"Mess shit up?" The three asked with grins.
"Mess shit up." When we were about to run in, we heard the sound of flapping wings comikg from above. Looking up, I saw Cadence and Moonlight flying down to us. "Hey where did you leave Scrap?" I demanded from the bat pony.
"Relax, she's with Celestia."
Meanwhile
Scrap stared at the slice of cake in front of her and looked to Celestia, who was wasting what could be considered a full triple layer cake. "You really think you should be eating that?"
Celestia swallowed what cake was in her mouth and wiped her lips. "Beg your pardon?"
"You know that cake is just gonna go to your already fat flank right?"
Celestia did a spit take while a nearby gaurd struggled to not laugh, while the one next to him tilted his head to get a better view of the princess's plot to see if the filly was right. He just pucked his lips slightly with half lidded eyes and nodded slowly before going back to being like one of those guards with the big black fur hats that are the joke for any American comedy set in London.
"I'm sure they'll get along." I was starting to really like this bat pony.
"Why're you here Candy? Don't you have a husband to whip into shape?" I joked as I tossed one of my knives into the air over and over.
"Shiny can do without me for awhile. Besides, this is a matter of love that involves you, there is no way I'm passing this up. Also I just really hate changelings, no offence Mothy."
"You know it only feels like offence was intended after you say 'no offence.'"
"Let's get back on track here." I stated as I clapped my hands together, causing the five to look at me. "Now, game plan, go in and destroy as much shut as you can and beat the helll out of anyone you can, but the leaders are mine." I turned around and pointed to the nests cave. "Now, into the unknown!"
