Twilight hummed to herself as she walked down an alleyway in No-Man’s land, hands clasped behind her back as was her habit. She had no real destination in mind and was more just wondering around the city to see what all there was to see.
It was about what she expected, trash scattered everywhere, a few burned out vehicles left over from the riots graffiti all over the walls with slogans such as “DEATH TO TYRANTS” and “FUCK THE FEDS!” as well as the graffiti artist proclaiming which side they supported between the factions.
If the city’s infrastructure ever gets back in operation they will have a lot of work to do to clean up. Though with the way the fighting was going that would be a long time coming.
Twilight rounded a corner at the end of the alleyway and spotted a women lying slumped against the wall. She was dirty and looked like she had been through the ringer. The women lifted her head weakly and held a hand out to Twilight. “P-please….help me….” She asked in a weak voice.
Twilight walked over to her. “What’s wrong ma’am?” She asked and a moment later raised her hoof and caught the baseball bat swing aimed for her head. “I’m assuming it has something to do with them.” She said before kicking one of her legs back, striking the assailant in the knee and shattering it.
Now armed with a bat the mare turned around and delivered the same swing that had been meant for her to the side of the injured humans head, enjoying the crunch his skull made from the impact. She then took a moment to assess the situation. There were five of them, only one had a gun the rest had melee weapons, from the looks of it a simple street gang. Shouldn’t be too difficult.
Twilight slung the bat at the gang member to her left causing him to go down stunned while the unicorn drew her side arm and deployed one of her blades before launching herself forward with a magically assisted jump. She sunk the blade into the chest of the gang member in front of her and used him as a counter weight to turn mid-air. As she spun with her wait she raised the pistol and fired a single shot, removing the biggest threat out of the gang with a head shot.
When she reached the apex of the spin the G-forces pulled her place free and sent her flying into another one of the gang, she was not too happy about where the humans head ended up when she crashed into him and quickly ended him with several shots to the head before untangling herself from him and rabidly fixing her tail. She would never speak of this moment to a soul and would be forgetting it as soon as possible.
She turned back to the last one standing with a slight blush on her cheek. “You saw nothing!” She said before unloading the reminder of the pistol’s mag into the human. Once that was down she cursed herself for allowing her embarrassment to cause her to waste ammo as she reloaded.
She walked over to the women and delivered a single shot to the human she had thrown the bat at just as he started to recover from the blow and sat up. “So, how about them ambush tactics eh?” She said to the woman who was now cowering against the wall, Twilight made sure to put on her friendliest smile she had.
“Th-they made me do it!” The women cried out and the mare nodded.
“Maybe so maybe no, point is you fucked with the wrong mare.” Twilight said still smiling. “And you gave me something to do so I’m going to ask you a single question, get it wrong and you die, get it wrong and you may live” Twilight leaned down so the human’s vision as filled with only the unicorn’s face. “Where is your boss?”
<<<O>>>
Twilight surveyed the group of humans that called themselves the Eastside Gunz, from a root top across the street from their little camp/base thing they had set up in the rubble of what used to be a restaurant, now it was missing its roof and half of one wall had collapsed and from what she could tell there wasn’t a single pane of glass left in the place.
The women had told her everything and Twilight had let her go of course, least hat what she told her, she just wanted to fuck with the women who would have just alerted the Gunz Twilight was coming. Now Twilight surveyed her options, she couldn’t risk being recognized if she missed someone and she didn’t want to make the PFDR look back so the mare stashed her armor and fashioned a sort of cloak from a blanket she found in an alley, making it a point to ignore the smell, while she used a rag to hide her lower face and some goggles to hide her eyes, a perfect disguises, well as perfect as a magical unicorn can get on short notice with things she found lying next to a dumpster. If she was fast enough she’d look like a short human as long as no one noticed the tail.
As the disguised mare looked over the gang she had to admit that they were organized to a decent degree for being a street gang. Most of them had a gun of some sort but, mostly pistols and shotguns but a few had assault rifles. Based on her observations there was about twenty of them. Twilight checked her pistol ammo, she had more than enough shots but she was hoping for something more entertaining, and then she noticed it in the far corner of the gang hide out, two barrels under a tarp, correction, two fuel barrels under a tarp. A smile split her muzzle, that would do just fine.~~~~
Now having a plan the mare moved back to the fire escape she had used to get to the roof and climbed down and quickly crossed the street to the back of the camp. She mentally condemned them for not having people on lookout but they probably thought no one would fuck with them in their own hide out.
Once at the back door she carefully opened the door and peeked in, seeing the kitchen as empty she slipped into the building and made her way to the small window that looked from the kitchen to the rest of the restaurant. No one seemed to have noticed her. Now how to get out of the kitchen without being turned into Swiss cheese.
The problem solved itself when two a couple of the gang members who had been playing cards started to argue about one of them cheating or something, Twilight didn’t really pay attention as the point was the argument quickly escalated into a fist fight that draw the rest of them to watch and cheer on the combatants.
Well if they were so easily distracted it just demanded Twilight do something and she wasn’t about to ignore that voice in her head as it chanted “Playtime” over and over again and made a Squee sound as the mare left the kitchen walking over to the barrels. Uncovering them she gave them a shake and was rewarded with the slosh of gas inside. From what she could tell they were full.
She froze as a gun was placed to the back of her head. “Well well, looks like we got a rat who thinks they can steal from the Eastside Gunz eh?” An accented voice said. Twilight raised her hands, happy the sleeves didn’t slide down to show her cybernetics. “Hey dumbasses knock it off we got a rat!” The voice yelled and twilight could hear the fight slowly wind down before the sound of a lot of footsteps walking over.
Twilight put a little quiver in her voice as she spoke. “Please…I just wanted some food…”She said trying to sound as scared as she could while her mind raced to find a way out.
“Hey, hey, it’s a chick, nice.” Someone else said from behind her.
“Shut up Michal.” The voice holding the gun said with annoyance.
“Hey hey, I’m just saying we haven’t gotten any new cunts in a while.” The second voice said again.
“Just shut up.” The first voice said. “You, bitch turn around.” The gun was pulled away from Twilight head and she slowly turned to face the group, all eyes were on her but only one had a gun on her. She looked at the one who had ambushed her. He had dark skin and from what she could tell most of it was covered in tattoos, leas his arms and chest were as well as his neck, from the way he spoke to the other Twilight assumed he was the leader.
She then took a look at the gun that was trained on her, it was a large silver revolver and from what she saw of the grip it was ivory. Oh she so wanted that gun. Then as if it was her birthday the gang leader pulled out a second identically gun and aimed it at her. She was so taking those; they were just too good looking for her not to take them! All she needed was a way out of this mess.
“Bitch drop the hood.” The leader said.
“Please…I’m sorry….I’ll just go and you never have to see me again.” Twilight said in her scared voice.
One of the group in the back laughed. “No way we are letting you go cunt.” Well that told her who the second voice was, it was a light skinned human who only had a few tattoos on, his constant referring to her as cunt was getting on her nerves and she was definitely going to make him suffer.
“Drop the hood, now bitch!” The leader demanded cocking his revolvers.
Well how could Twilight refuse such a nicely asked request? She reached up and dropped her hood and nearly laughed at the wide eye expression all but the leader gave. “The fuck, she had a horn and….the fuck is she?” The Michael voice said.
Well this worked she supposed. She quickly lite her horn and teleported behind the group. “The fuck?” One of them yelled before Twilight charged to group and crashed into them, putting every bit of her weight behind it. She knocked multiple over who in turn knocked more over who tried to stop from falling by grabbing the man next to them and dragging them down. Twilight couldn’t help laughing at the domino effect that ended with most of the gang in a table heap on the ground leaving just the leader and a couple who had jumped clear still standing.
Twilight wasted no time charging the nearest of the standing gang members and tackled him to the ground, they rolled on the ground till they came to a stop with Twilight on top pinning him. She smiled before using all her strength to punch the man’s face repeatedly turning it into a bloody paste.
She quickly rolled away a moment before she heard the very loud bang of the leaders heavy revolvers. The mare teleported to the other side of the room where two other gang members were, they raised the weapons but twilight delivered twin strikes to their major weak point and they went down clutching their manhood’s.
Twilight teleported to in front of the leader and delivered rabid strike to his gut causing him to stumble back and drop his guns, which Twilight caught in her magic, couldn’t have the two beauties getting scratched.
The leader quickly recovered and leapt at her to try and tackle her, to which the unicorn responded by side stepping and letting him crash into the pile of tabled gang members. Twilight used her magic to shove the two gang members that were still clutching themselves, not having recovered yet. She then used her magic to tear the wiring from the wall and used it to tie the group together.
“There we go, nice and secure.” She told them dusting her hooves together.
The leader glared at her. “The fuck you want you freak?!” He yelled at her.
“mmm…well I was planning on taking these.” She shook the twin revolvers in her magic. “And doing this. “She said and teleported the offensive human from the group and tightened the group back together as she held the human in her magic. The guy looked at her with obvious fear.
“What the fuck do you waarrg” Whatever he was going to say was lost as the mare tore his tongue out. “I don’t like the way you talk.” She told him simply before tossing him back onto the pile of humans.
“Now for the piece dare resistance “The unicorn said as she lifted the barrels of gas up over the humans and opened them, pouring the contents out onto all over them, soaking them in the fuel. Once they were thoroughly soaked she used the las of the barrels to make a trail to her.
“The fuck do you want? Who the fuck are you working for?” The leader demanded as the other started to panic as it was clear what was about to happen.
Twilight merely shrugged. “I don’t work for anyone, I’m just out for a walk to clear my head. “And with that she lite the train of gas and watched it race along toward the now screaming humans who tried to scoot away. A smile split her muzzle as the flames raced over their gas soaked bodies and she stood watching till the last of them stopped moving and it looked like a funeral pyre.
Twilight sighed with satisfaction. “Well that was entertaining and I got some new guns out of it to boot. “:She said admiring her new toys as she turned from the fire she walked back off into the night taking a deep breath of the smoke filled air. “This was a very relaxing walk.” She said to the night air as she began to walk back to PFDR HQ and the remainder of her paperwork.
