Chapter Eight

Laughter was heard everywhere. The sun shined brightly upon the grassland. The temperature was perfect. It was neither cold nor hot. It was perfect with a fresh breeze being blown. Clouds of all sizes floated through the cleared sky occasionally blocking the sun. The ground itself was filled with grass that was green with life at its fullest in them. The sound of laughter was one of pure joy. The sound of pure innocence not contaminated by the cruel things in the world. Upon the ground was a blanket lay out across the ground. In the middle was a basket no undoubtedly full of food. Next to it was a large cooler where the cold drink were located. On the blanket sat human adults. Each one looked different from each other. Next to one was a young teen as he laughed at a joke from one of the males. Around the whole area, five children ran around laughing as they chased each other. Then suddenly the sky darkened causing everyone to look around in fear. The adults called to their children while the teen could only watch in horror as a tornado came crashing down on them sucking them up while he remained there. Glancing over he could make out a pony shape figure with glowing eyes.

"Thou shall not have pleasant dreams!" As a giant rock slammed on him by the tornado throwing it.


Boba sat up panting with deep breathes while he placed his hand on his chest trying to slow down his breathing. A peaceful dream only for it to become a nightmare? Well played princess of the moon.......bitch. That was when Boba noticed he was in a cell of some kind. He also saw it appeared to be dark with very little light showing. Boba also could tell and feel his equipment was gone judging by how he wasn't seeing his HUD nor feeling the weight of his equipment. Glancing down he saw his presumption was right. The ponies had at least let him keep his mesh on. Though he also saw they had wrist strapped to chains that were hooked up to the wall behind him. Testing, he saw that he could only walk halfway to the cell doors. 'Clever.'

Boba glanced all around his room searching for any weaknesses in this cell. He couldn't see any, but that didn't mean there weren't none. He stopped his investigating when he heard footsteps coming from down the hallway and muffled voices which Boba knew they were coming from the door entrance down to the dungeon. Backing away until he was leaning against the wall he lowered his head  while closing his eyes and relaxed his breathing giving him the appearance he was sleeping.

"So this the infamous Boba Fett the captain spoke of?" A guard asked as they stared at Boba. "Can't say I'm surprised. What is he anyway?"

"I guess. He doesn't look that impressive, though. Even the princess's don't know what he is." The other guard commented.

'Face me hand to hand or let me have my equipment and I will show you impressive.' Boba thought in anger as he remained still not really caring what they think his race is.

"I guess he is still asleep."

"He could be faking. The captain said this bounty hunter isn't just known for his strength or strange equipment. But also his cleverness."

"Yeah I guess. Well back to patrolling. Also, remember we are all meeting up at the Drunken Pony."

'Drunken Pony?' Boba deadpanned inside his mind.

"Oh I'll be there. Can't miss when you cower before that big minotaur bouncer. HAHA."

"Tch. I'm not afraid. Courage is my middle.....oh never mind."

Boba remained in place until he could no longer hear their footsteps and he slowly opened his eyes and looked up. He glanced around the room not taking a chance to walk around the room they might be close by. 'If I could get these chains off then I might actually be able to get out of here.' Boba thought as he stared at the chains. He stared at them for a good long awhile before laying his head back against the wall with his eyes closed in deep thought.

Boba eyes opened back up as he heard footsteps coming back again. Either it was another guard or the patrols weren't that long. Boba closed his eyes to pretend that he was asleep again but stopped. 'That could actually work.' Boba kept his eyes open just as a guard walked in front of his cell.

'Hope this works.'

The guard walked in front of the cell where the infamous Boba Fett was put in. The guards didn't react to prisoners nor were they allowed to. His curiosity was piqued though when he heard the captain briefed them about the bounty hunter. The guard glanced towards the prisoner only to see him clutching his chest with a hand before falling over to his side and seemed to not breathing anymore. The guard freaked out not knowing what to do. 'Shit! They didn't go over this in training.' The guard kept staring at Boba before deciding to open the cell door and walked to check to see if he had a pulse. The guard raised his hand to the bounty hunter neck only for Boba hand to snap up and grab his wrist. Before the guard could react he felt Boba hand slam right between his legs causing the guard eyes to widen before finally feeling the pain as he collapsed to the ground holding jr. The guard glanced up painfully and the last thing he saw was a boot slamming into his face.

Boba stared down at the guard he knocked out. 'That guard must be right out of training.' Boba thought as he grabbed the keys that were on the guards chest. He quickly undid the chains off his wrists. After rubbing the soreness off, he grabbed the guard body and dragged it off to the side where they wouldn't see it unless they entered the cell. Boba opened the cell door after checking the hallway both ways to ensure there were no one. Satisfied he opened the cell door then turned and closed it while locking it. 'Need to find my equipment.'

Boba crouched down as he moved down the hallways, looking around every corner to look for guards. Boba was able to avoid most of the guards. He honestly didn't know where he was going. He stopped at a corner when he heard a pair of guards talking. "So how was the hunter equipment?"

What.

"We weren't able o figure out how to use it."

'They were trying to use my equipment!? I'll kill them!'

"We placed in the armory room until their majesties decide what to do with it."

Boba scoffed inside his mind. 'Where to find this armory then.' Boba thought as he waited for the two to walk by. 'I think I should have asked that one guard before knocking him out.'

Boba stopped at another corner. Glancing around he saw a guard looking the other way. Next to him was a door of some kind that said cleaning supplies. Boba slowly walked over towards the guard. When he was behind him he quickly threw his right hand over the guard mouth while his left arm wrapped around the guard neck. The guard screams were muffled as he was dragged by the door. Boba began to put pressure on the guard throat choking him. "Tell me where the armory and I won't kill you."

The guard stopped struggling when he felt the pressure leave his throat. Glancing back at Boba, he glared at him. Boba noticing the look tightened his hold suffocating the guard again. Boba kept squeezing the guard till his face turned blue then loosen his hold. "I can keep doing this or you could just tell me where my equipment is."

The guard glanced back at him with slight fear. Boba felt the guard shoulder dropped in shame before pointing at a sign that said armory on it. Satisfied with the answer, Boba slammed the guard head against the wall knocking him out. Boba quickly threw the body inside and closed the door. 'Now time to get my equipment.' Boba thought as he snuck down the hallway towards where his equipment was located.

Boba turned the corner and to his surprise saw the door to the armory. 'Not really a long walk.'

Walking towards the door, he placed a hand against it slowly pushing it open he peeked inside only to see a single guard.....holding his helmet. Boba pushed the door all the way open and walked inside. The guard heard the door open and turned to see who it was only for a fist to hit him knocking him out while dropping the helmet. Boba quickly equipped his gear back on and bent down picking his helmet up. Slipping it back on he spoke. 'Nobody touches my equipment.'

Satisfied with having his equipment he walked out the door only to stop as the guards in front of him stop as well. Boba stared at the two guards while turning his rifle to stun. The guards stared at him with narrowed eyes. Moving before they could react, Boba raised his rifle and fired knocking the two out. Not bothering to hide the bodies he ran down the hallways. Boba kept glancing at his HUD to see where the guards were moving to and avoided that path. He didn't know how long he was moving in the tunnels, but he finally came to a flight of stairs. 'Must e the way out.' Boba ran up towards the stairs to see he was in another set of hallways though these were more bright.

'Must be the castle.' Boba thought only to glance to see twenty guards coming towards his direction. Boba glanced over and moved into a room closing the door behind him. Boba sighed and turned around and to his luck saw a balcony that would lead to his freedom. If it wasn't for the fact his old targets and the Princesse's of the sun and moon were glancing at him. Luna was glaring at him along with the other ponies. Boba glanced at Celestia who had a neutral expression on her face. Boba saw they were sitting at a table with tea?

"Please have a seat. There is room for one more person." Celestia spoke as she took a sip of her tea.

'What now?'
