“So it turned out that the old king had a thing about rutting dogs” Vincent said as Keira groaned.

             “And seeing as Keira was impersonating his dog… “ Vadik was finishing before Keira interrupted.

               “I drove a knife through his neck before he could fuck me” She growled.

                 “Yea Keira don't like Doggy Style” Vincent said before he began sprinting as Keira transformed into a large snake and went after him.

            “Those two never change” Nymph said causing Vadik to look down at the elf looking at the Dwarf climbing a try with a pissed off doppelganger trying to hurt him.

               “You're awake!” Vadik said as Nymph nodded before looking back at Vadik.

                 “Yea I have been for the last twenty minutes… I just found it comfortable to be carried, seeing Vincent is too short and Keira is a bit grabby” Nymph said with a giggle.

                 “Yea… look I am sorry for running, just I…” Vadik was saying before he was stopped by the elf.

             “it's fine, I was just worried that you would get yourself killed and besides we are all back together now” She said smiling at her friend before they both turn when they heard a scream.

                “You farted... in my mouth” Keira coughed violently.

                 “Well ya shouldn't have tried to eat me” Vincent said as he ran off with Keira in hot pursuit.

               “Yep, same old idiots” Vadik said.

(Vadik’s house)

          Rainbow Dash was sitting at the front step with a worried and slightly annoyed expression on her face, she didn't know if Vadik was in danger or just avoiding them because of their heat.

          “Dashie, ya alright?” AppleJack asked as she sat next to her friend.

            “Yea I am AJ, just worried about the big guy” She sighed.

             “Well don't worry, heal be back soon enough and rutting ya then” She said with a chuckle which successfully gained a laugh from Dash but they stopped laughing when they saw a short armoured pony run out of the tree line, carrying a severed head and a staff.

       “What the Buck?” Rainbow Dash asked before a large black Manticore burst from the trees except it wasn't like the usual Manticores of Eauestria as it’s body was all muscle and same proportions, not to mention that it's tail was bright red.

      “Keira leave Vince alone” Vadik said coming out of the with a woman beside him.

        “No” The Manticore roared moments before it was tackled by Vadik.

         “Stop or you don't get your share of the coin” Vadik said as the beast growled and transformed into a Female human with a revealing attire.

          “Fine… and you can get off me now” She said as Vadik stood up and helped her up.

            “Vadik!” Dash said zoomin forward only to stop when she found an axe and a sword pressed against her throat causing her to go white as a sheet.

              “Vince, Keira relax, she is one of the ones I have to protect… we have to protect” Vadik said as Keira and Vincent sheathed their weapons moments before Dash hugged Vadik.

                 “Alright Laddy, mine introducing us to the lass?” Vincent asked as he removed his helmet.

         “Oh This is… well don't laugh but it's Rainbow Dash” He said moments before the two mercenaries burst out laughing as Nymph giggled before retrieving her staff from Vincent.

            “Oh goddess, I feel so sorry for you” Keira said laughing.

             “It gets worse” Vadik said “most of their towns are puns” He said as the two mercenaries fell over laughing loudly as Rainbow Dash frowned.

                “I was worried about you, flankhole” Dash said punching his shoulder.

                  “flankhole hahaha” Vincent said hysterically.

                 “Nymph” Vadik said.

                  “Alright you both, for that you have to go bring the Ria-gin here… I was gonna teleport it here but seeing as you to are being a couple of hyenas, you to will bring it here or else I'll swap you bodies again” The Elf said as Keira and Vincent instantly shot up and ran off into the forest.

                “Thanks Nymph” Vadik said as the Elf smiled before she said down on a stump and relaxed.

                   “Who are they?” Twilight asked as she exited.

                     “The other members of my mercenary band” Vadik said as he hugged Dash . “and I am sorry I made you worry” he said to the pegasus.

                      “Better be, you going to cure our heat now?” She said seductively.

                       “Yep… Nymph you still remember that spell you used on that sisterhood of succubi?” Vadik asked.

                  “How long do you want the spell to last?” She asked as she stood up and stretched.

                   “Um about two weeks” Vadik said as Dash looked at him confused.

                “Alrighty.” Nymph said as she focused her magic, causing the gem on the tip of her staff to glow red before she slammed the base of the staff into the ground causing a ripple of energy to cover everything in the space of a mile. “All done” She said half collapsing onto her Staff which caused Vadik to drop Rainbow Dash to help her.

         “Hey!” Dashie said annoyed before she felt around her body. “My heat… it's gone?!” She said happily hi confused.

           “Yes tis a spell used against succubi to allow us to talk to them with them trying to fuck Vadik or Vincent… on normal people it caused them to not feel turned on for a while” She said tiredly. “Shit my mana is still low.” She groaned as Twilight walked over to her.

          “How did you do that?” the Alicorn asked.

          “Please don't tell me you are one of those ignorant bigots who hate Sorceresses cause if you try to burn me, I'll kill you” Nymph growled.

           “No no no you got it wrong, I am the Princess of Magic, I was just asking Because I have never seen magic like that before” Twilight with her hands up.

            “Oh… maybe I can teach you a thing or two… if you return the favour” Nymph offered.

             “I'd like that Ms Nymph” Twilight said offering her hand which Nymph took and shook it.

               “Incoming!!” Vincent's voice could be heard moments before he face planted into the dirt followed by the corpse of the Ria-Gin on top of him and a massive red Dragon next to it, which transformed into Keira.

                 “That is for farting in my mouth” She growled before pulling the massive dead monster off her friend.

          “Worth it” Vincent said pushing himself out of the dirt and grabbing the other end of the beast.

            “What do ya plan on doing with that?” AppleJack asked.

             “We are going to skin it, Gut it,  bleed it, Carve it, Cook it and eat it” Keira said as Applejack and Rainbow Dash went white and fainted. “light weights” She said as the two dragged the bleeding corpse behind the tree house.

             “Idiots” Vadik and Nymph said before Nymph pushed herself off her friend.

             “I'm good right now, let's get inside and meet our charges” Nymph said as Vadik nodded and walked over to AppleJack and Rainbow Dash.

             “Um I just need to warn you that Pinkie Pie can be a little intense” Twilight said as Nymph groaned.

            “You lot are just asking for Vincent and Keira to laugh” She said as she opened the door only to have a wild Pinkie appear but the confrontation was short as Nymph tapped her staff against the mare’s forehead and she fell asleep.

             “What did you do?” Twilight asked.

               “Sleep spell” Nymph said stepping over Pinkie and walked over to an unoccupied couch which she flopped on and sighed loudly. “I so call this couch” She chuckled.

                  “There are spare Rooms” Vadik said.

                “Do you have hot water?” Nymph asked as Vadik nodded. “Lead the way” She said standing up and followed Vadik upstairs.

                  “Vadik has some very… interesting friends” Celestia said as her invisibility spell deactivated.

                    “Celestia! What are you doing here?” Twilight asked.

                     “I have been following Vadik shortly after he left and I have learnt more about him” She said crossing her arms.

                     “Like what Tia?” Twilight asked.

                     “Like He has murdered kings.... in cold blood, I want you all to get out of here as soon as possible, I have already teleported Rarity, Trixie, Nightmare Moon and Fluttershy away” She said as she glared at the stairs.

            “W-what? How could Discord not tell us about this?” Twilight asked as she picked up her their unconscious friends.

              “I don't know but with Luna asleep, I will be alone to inform him of his recent ‘unemployment’ “ She said as Twilight nodded before teleporting away moments before Vadik came downstairs.

                “Oh Tia, just the mare I wanted to see” He said with a smile.

                “That's Princess Celestia to you Murderer” She growled as Vadik stopped, his smile vanished in a moment.

                “So you followed me? Or did Luna tell you?” Vadik asked crossing his arms.

                 “I followed you, I wanted to see your combat skill so I could figure out how much to pay you… then I heard about that conversation… please correct me if I am wrong but at you a murderer? And please tell me you are not” She asked.

               “I am a Murderer, I have killed men and women in cold blood, I have purposely hunted down people for coin or revenge.” Vadik replied.

                “Why? Why did you not but your skills to go like work for a king as a Knight?” She asked him only to recoil at the sudden rage.

               “WHY DO YOU THINK I MURDERED PEOPLE? OUT OF FUCKING FUN?, NO ITS BECAUSE SOME FUCKING ROYAL SON OF A HAG ORDERED ME TOO” Vadik shouted at her. “When I finally had enough and tried to leave, that fucking Bastard took me home, tied me to a post in front of my clan’s Village and burning my home to ash, any of my family that tried to escape were captured and hung… all because I get a conscious… Vincent found me and showed me how to ignore it and together we took my revenge against that nation… “ Vadik said clenching his fists “So I'm taking that you want nothing to do with us then, So be It… get the fuck out” Vadik said pointing to the door, where both Keira and Vincent stood with weapons drawn.

       “Vadik…” Celestia tried to say before she was grabbed by Keira and forcefully removed from the building.

        “Fuck off bitch” Keira said to her as she watched Celestia teleport away. “You okay big guy?” Keira asked.

        “No… I need a drink” Vadik said sitting on his couch.

         “Ahh Northern Orc spirit or Southern Orc Gold?” Vincent asked as he looked through his rucksack.

         “Northern” Vadik said as the Dwarf pulls a bottle of clear liquid from his bag and handed it to his old friend.

         “And you Keira?” Vincent asked.

         “Gold please” She asked as the Dwarf pulled a bottle of thick golden liquor from his bag and handed it to her before pulling out a bottle for himself and sitting next to Vadik.

           “She was bound to find out soon enough Laddy, and look on the Brightside, if the baddies after her are really a problem, she is gonna come crawlin back… and pay double or triple the coin” Vincent said causing Vadik to laugh.

            “Yea… but the last couple of weeks I have been looking to settle down somewhere” Vadik groaned as he opened his bottle and took a large swig. “But I guess at least I have a place” He said with a soft smile moments before a flash of light filled the room and a very annoyed Luna appeared.

         “I can't believe her” She growled as Vadik offered the bottle which She accepted. “Thanks Vadik” She said before sipping the bottle but coughed loudly. “Buck that's strong” She said handing it back. “Look Vadik I am sorry for what happened, Nightmare is back upstairs and she has brought compensation for… that confrontation… and I would like to offer you the job again.” Luna said.

      “No deal Lassy, it has to be ms so far up her own arse with quadruple pay or nothing… and she has to beg” Vincent said.

       “Deal” Luna said before teleporting away.

        “Since when did you get so good at negotiating?” Keira asked.

          “Well seein’ ah can't flaunt tits that I don't got, I had to use ma Dwarven knowledge.” Vincent said tapping his head.

            “I don't think a monkey on a type written counts as Knowledge” Keira replied.

             “it does missy” Vincent replied.

            “That's all well and good except… Celestia never gave a definite number… so for all we know, she could give us four coins” Vadik said.

            “Yes but She explained to Luna and myself that the number ranged in the area of $2000 bits to $4000 “ Nightmare Moon said as she came downstairs and sat across from the three.

        “Ah ha $8000 to $16,000 coin” Vincent said clapping before pulling out a bottle of clear liquid. “Here lassy” The Dwarf said handing the bottle to Nightmare.

        “Thank you” She said before opening the bottle.

           “So what's your honest opinion of me?” Vadik asked as he took another swig of the Orcish drink.

            “Honestly?” She asked him as she sipped her drink and winced at the burning sensation. “I want to claim you as mine… if that's how it is said nowadays” Moon said out loud as Keira and Vincent started laughing.

             “Ya won't his prick or him girly?” Vincent asked causing the mare and Man to go bright red.

            “Him… I meant I would like to try a courtship with him”She said as the two stopped laughing and took on a serious expression.

             “Now that changes things” Keira said.

              “I honestly do…”Vadik was saying before he was interrupted.

               “Vadik will decided after you have proven to Vincent, Keira and Myself that you won't hurt him” Nymph said from the stairs in a fluffy pink and gold trimmed bathrobe.

                 “I promise I…” Moon didn't he to finish before Nymph stopped her.

               “Actions speak louder than words and they are also truer than any” She said walking over and sitting on a plush seat. “So do you accept or not?” She asked.

                 “I accept” Nightmare said.

                 “Excellent, let's drink, Vincent may i have gold please?” She asked as a bottle of the grog and passed it to her. “Thanks” She said before opening the bottle and joined the others in drinking.

       “VADIK!!!” A voice screamed moments before a familiar Brown and White stallion burst into the house panting.

        “Pip what's wrong?” Vadik asked as a crossbow bolt barely missed the stallion.

           “Diamond Dogs” He said as he took cover.

             “Stay down Laddy” Vincent said as the four Mercenaries stepped outside to come face to face with a two dozen dog men.

              “Nymph, armour” Vadik said as Nymph raised her hands and her bathrobe combusted and transformed into silver armour.

                “Better?” She asked.

                “Yea… Alright Mutts, mine explaining why you are on my land?” Vadik said drawing his Bastard sword.

                “We are after the stallion, this is none of your concern.” The alpha of the group said.

                “That is where you are wrong, You see Pip is a Mate of mine and no one fucks with my mates” Vadik stated as Keira transformed into a massive terrifying black Spider. “And Those who do, end up dead”.

                “Come on ya pups” Vincent taunted as the Dogs took a step backwards.

                 “I think they are frightened, maybe we should let them run?” Nymph asked as the Diamond Dogs started rapidly nodding.  

            “I want the Alpha Alive” Vadik said as both Nymph and Vincent smirked. “The rest… highest score gets 50 coin” Vadik said with a smirk.

             “Wait! We'll give you our Alpha” The dogs said before knocking their leader unconscious.

            “But we made a bet, unless you want to pay off the bet” Nymph said as the Diamond Dogs emptied their pockets of money and gems before running off into the forest.

               “That works” Vadik said as the group collected the money and Diamond Dog before bringing them inside to see Nightmare confronting the distraught Stallion. “Vincent, take our friend to where you took the Rai-gin” Vadik said as the Dwarf nodded and dragged the Dog off as Vadik walked over to Pip and knelt down in front of him. “Hey mate, I need you to talk to me about what happened” Vadik said in a comforting tone.

       “We were… we were exploring near the clearing a few miles from Ponyville when… when a pack of Diamond Dogs came out of the Everfree and began snatching Everypony… they got Babs, Diamond, Silver, Rumble, Button, Sweetie, Barb, AppleBloom, Dinky and Scootaloo” He said with a sniffle.

         “Okay I'll go bring them home buddy, I just need you to right down what they all look like so I can make sure I grab them okay?” Vadik asked as Pip nodded. “Good man” Vadik said standing and grabbing a pen and paper, which he handed to Pip.

          “How are you going to know where they went?” Nightmare asked.

           “I'm gonna have a little chat with the mutt” Vadik said as he exited the building and moved behind it where the Ria-Gin was hanging skinned, Gutted and slowly being bled dry, next to the corpse was the Dog tied to a chair awake with Keira using his face as a punching bag. “Keira… we need his jaw intact, the rest… not so much” Vadik said as the Doppelganger nodded before drawing a knife and plunging it into the Dog’s knee. “Now pup, I need to ask you a few questions, if you cooperate then you can go home in one piece” Vadik said as he grabbed a chair and sat in front of the prisoner.

        “And… I don't ?” He asked panting.

        “You'll end up think the beast next to you” Vadik said causing the Dog to tense up.

          “I'll tell you everything!” Re dog shouted.

            “Good boy” Vadik said before straightening himself up. “What is your name?” Vadik asked.

              “What why do to want to know my….” he was cut off as Keira slammed her fist into his gut causing him to growl in pain. “Diamond Pick… my name is Diamond Pick” He replied quickly.

               “Nice to meet you Diamond Pick, Now then… care for a drink?” Vadik asked as he pulled the bottle of alcohol from his pocket.

                 “Why?” Diamond asked.

                “It eases the pain and loosens your lips” Vadik said.

                  “Sure, why not” Pick said as Vadik poured a glass of the drink and fed it to the Dog.

                   “Now then, Why did you take those Ponies?” Vadik asked.

                    “I'm a Slaver, I snatch anything young so I can sell it to my buyers” Diamond Said as Vadik nodded.

                  “Good, now where is your base located” Vadik asked.

                   “thirty miles East of here” He said as Vadik nodded and stood up.

                “Good, Keira… kill him” Vadik said as Keira smirked sadistically.

             “Wait You promise you would let me go!” The dog Screamed.

       “No I promised you would return in one piece” Vadik said as he watched as his friend began to strangle the Dog.

         “Bas…” He tried to say before Keira snapped his neck.

          “Shall we?” Vadik asked as Keira nodded and walked over to him before they returned to Nymph who they saw was opening a portal.

            “The Portal is nearly ready, I sent a familiar out to find the camp, It just did so I am using it as a link for the portal on the cliff overlooking the camp” Nymph explained as the two nodded.

            “Alright, we'll get our gear ready”

(Half an hour later, Slaver Camp)

           “Now listen to me Whore, you shall do what your master says or you shall be whipped, understand me?” The Leader of the Slavers asked as he gripped a bound Scootaloo by her throat.

             “Buck you, Vadik is gonna hurt you” She said spitting in the Caribou Buck’s face.

                “Stupid bitch” The Caribou said back handing her and causing her to fall to the ground with a groan. “It's going to be a cold day in Tartarus when this Vadik rescues you” He stated as Scootaloo giggled. “What?” He asked.

                “You don't feel that flank hole?” She giggled as she smirked defiantly at her capture.

                 “What?” He asked.

                  “It's gotten a buck ton colder” She said as the Caribou noticed her breath coming out as a mist.

                “What does that mean?” He asked.

                 “Tartarus has just frozen over” She laughed as a Diamond Dog ran into the tent covered in snow.

           “Sir!, Blizzard!” He screamed.

            “What? It's the middle of summer!” He shouted just as a massive golden bloodied hand wrapped around the Dog and ripped him out of the tent. “W-what is going on!” He shouted before grabbing Scootaloo by her mane and dragged her to another entrance to the tent as a Massive golden Ape in dark grey armour tore into the Tent.

          “That's new” Scootaloo as with wide eyes just as the Caribou dragged her out of the tent to see three other individuals murdering his men. “Vadik!” The mare screamed gaining the attention of the tallest being just as he tore a Diamond Dog in two.

            “The Royal Caribou Knights are coming with Prince Danse” A Caribou shouted moments before an Arrow struck him in the back, causing him to fall to the ground as several Caribou in silver armour charged through the snow, trampling the wounded deer and began to murder the slavers.

         “Enough!” The Caribou Slave shouted as he held a blade to Scootaloo’s throat, this caused Vadik to raise a hand to the giant golden beast which caused it to transform back into a woman. The blizzard also immediately died down to reveal that the Caribou Army had surrounded them all. “I demand to speak to Prince Danse!” He shouted as a silver armoured white Caribou approached him with a bright red mane. “No telling me why you are killing us? Your father has allowed us to operate in this area as long as we send him slaves.

       “My Father no longer rules the Caribou, I made sure of it” Danse said through his faceplate.

        “Y-yo murdered your father!” The Caribou said in shock. “You killed a god!” He shouted.

          “The Fool was no God, just a pathetic old racist pervert who would have doomed our great nation to destruction if I allowed it… I stood by hoping for him to change until he took my dear sister, broke her and sold her” He said drawing his sword and pointing it towards the Slaver. “I shall give you a chance to redeem yourself, kneel and you shall be spared from your the Black Gate Prison” Danse said as the Caribou instant released the mare, who quickly darted towards Vadik and hugged him.

        “Alright my King, I beg for your forgiveness and Mercy” The Caribou said kneeling in the snow before the white King.

         “You shall have neither” Danse said slitting the slaver’s throat with his sword and left him to bleed out in the snow before turning his attention to Vadik. “You, come here” He said pointing towards Vadik, who picked Scootaloo up before walking over.

           “What do you want?” Vadik asked.

             “Who are you and why wet you and your friends attacking this camp?” He asked sheathing his sword.

                “My name is Vadik and I can to rescue my friends” He said to the Deer.

              “Then you have my respect for undertaking such a task for your friends” Danse said offering his hand which Vadik took and shook. “I suspect you know Princess Celestia?” Danse asked.

               “Why do you say that?” Vadik asked.  

            “Because she just teleported behind you” Danse said with chuckle causing Vadik to look over his shoulder at the Alicorn.

             “Vadik what are you doing with him?” She asked.

              “What? You mean the Caribou that just charged an army into a camp to save save your citizens?” Vadik replied.

               “He what?” She asked in shock.

                 “Princess, I desire to have a conversation with you about starting up a new trading contract between our fine nations” Danse said walking towards a tent and held it open for her.

                   “Um okay?” She asked looking at him for a moment before entering the tent.
