“What is little baby doing to Heavy’s lunch safe?” Asked the guard; he spoke in a massive Russian accent; like the Heavy from TF2. He also talked like the Heavy from TF2, and said he was the Heavy…was this the Heavy from TF2?

“Lunch safe” Tyler asked “What do you mean by a lunch safe?”

The guard gave us a smile “Genius plan!” He took his briefcase “See; in briefcase is sandwich” He opened the briefcase and inside was a sandwich, some intelligence Tyler.

“Really can you show me how you did that?” Tyler asked

“Simple you put hoof on-“Before the Heavy could finish Tyler brought his gun up and shot the pony right in the face. Tyler as it seems forgot about silencers; the entire neighborhood now knew that we were trying to steal this intelligence.

“Smooth” I said

“Like anyone cares” Tyler said “I’ll cover you, we need to find the intelligence”

***

“Yuri something is wrong with the Heavy” Boris said

“Wait what is wrong with him?” Yuri asked

“He died” Boris said flatly

“GOD DAMMIT”

***

“Come on Vespi we got to get out of here!” Tyler screamed; we found the intelligence, but we were also detected (Despite it taking several minutes) and now had the entire neighborhood shooting at us.

“We got to jump for it” I said; although we were only on the 2nd floor the ground would be too dangerous. The many alleys and hidden areas made it a death trap to travel by.

“Dipshit remember I don’t have wings” Tyler said

“Fine…um…here get on my back I’ll fly and you cover me.” I said; although having Tyler on my back while flying at low attitude with militia shooting at me with lead bullets wasn’t the best plan it was still something.

Tyler seemed to be able to hold the intelligence and shoot at the same time; how he was going to stay on my back I don’t really know. But it was still better then jumping.

“Ready?” I asked

“Fly!” Tyler shouted on command I jumped off and began flapping my wings. I wasn’t a very strong flyer; none the less I could manage, even with such a heavy payload.

The instant I took off I realized we were safe; although there were maybe 10 militia shooting at us none were very accurate, and fortunately there were snipers. I tried to gain as much altitude as possible without suffocating myself and Tyler. Tyler managed to drop his gun altogether and hold on to the briefcase for dear life. We flew for a couple blocks; sometimes we’d see other pegasus staring at us probably asking “What the hell are they doing?” to themselves, but the important thing is that we were alive.

I finally got tired and just slowly lowered; I was glad to see the more wealthy part of the city, the part that wasn’t tainted by the malicious Red Hooves.

“Thanks for the fly” Tyler said “Let’s get this to the princess now”

“Wait you work for the princess herself?” I asked now that brought back good nostalgia

“Yea pretty cool right? Glad I brought you to Canterlot?” He said with a smile

“Dam right”

***

I didn’t exactly know what to expect when the 2 of us walked into the castle. Everything was still as mystifying and whimsical as before. All of it and the recent occurrences made me feel like I was in some kind of dream, an escape from reality.

“I think we are getting close to the Princess’s room” Tyler said taking his helmet off; I followed and did the same.

I couldn’t help but smile when that snob Blueblood came into my line of sight. The pony was just standing there; as though he was expecting us. But when the two of us came into his mist his facial expression said that this was no casual get together.

“Well what do we have here; 2 peasants trying to get into the throne room?” He asked

“Yea now if you don’t mind I don’t like talking to bitches” Tyler said calmly

“I am sure; and who do we have here?” He asked looking at me “What happened to Rarity? Did she dump you like the filth that you are?”

“No” I said “We actually got married”

He instantly went from his pompous self to a more surprising persona. It looked as though his soul had just been shattered by a sledge hammer.

“But, I loved her” He said “I loved Rarity”

I just couldn’t help but laughing, sure the princess’s nephew just became emotionally devastated but so what?

“Yea she is something else” I said laughing haughtily “Fucked the shit out of her too; they heard her in Cloudsdale I think”

“Was that you ponies? Dan said he heard something while he was in Cloudsdale. He said it sounded like a 100 high pitched fog horns” Tyler said

“Yup that was us then” I said with a smile; Blueblood just broke down and began to cry in the hallway; wow I’m surprised I didn’t even have to use physical pain to make the guy cry this time.

We continued our trek into the throne room were the princesses were. When we walked in there had to be at leastly 10 guards all on the perimeter of the room. In the middle of the room were 2 golden thrones one for each sister.

“Shit Tyler, Vespi Is that you?” I turned around, there Nico was a massive smile on your face.

“Dam it’s nice to see you again Nico how’s it been?” I asked with a smile

“Ehh pretty good I guess married the princess as you obviously know; what are you guys doing?” He asked

“Meh nothing really” Tyler began before Celestia gave a fake cough. We all turned around to see her, regally sitting on her throne.

“Welcome back Tyler, how did you mission go?” She asked

“Good we got the intelligence” Tyler said showing her the briefcase, Nico and another guard took the briefcase from Tyler

“Please tell me you didn’t take the sandwich briefcase” Celestia said with a hint of aggravation in her voice.

“Not this time” Tyler said with a smile “Vespi saved me thank god; it was a good idea to bring him after all mam” He

added

Wait it was Celestia’s idea to bring me to Canterlot? That explains the awesome house we got.

“Thank you for your help Vespi; I hope we can count on your help a lot in the future” She said, with an affectionate smile

“The honor is mine princess” I said; I already knew she liked me over my other friends. I was the only one that normally said “princess” or “mam”, and as Boris would put it I “Don’t talk like I shoved my fist up your flank”.

“I’m glad to hear that Vespi; the head of the guard will brief you both on your next assignment.” She said

“Wait who’s the head of the guard?” I asked

“My husband” Luna said; I barely had noticed her on the other throne.

“Nico you are the head of the guard? Not half bad” Tyler said

“Thanks now come with me” He said motioning to a door on the side of the throne room. The 3 of us entered as discretely as possible.

“Okay so what is next?” I asked

“We knocked the Red Hooves down a peg but there are plenty, and I mean plenty, of factions still begging to be knocked down.”

“How may exactly?” I questioned

“Well off of my head I can think of the Blue Team, the Family, DT Rebels, District Demolition, Smugglers, Assassins, and last but not least the United Ponies in Arms” Nico said; I had to admit he looked impressive considering this was my old friend. He wore a golden chest plate, golden helmet, and a blue cape.

“Which is next on the list?” Tyler asked

“The Family is our easiest target at the moment. Our informants tell us he is relaxing at his night club in downtown tonight; the 3 of us are going to infiltrate and steal some more information.”

“Shouldn’t we just kill him?” I asked

Nico smiled “Even better idea”

I gave Rarity a call saying I wouldn’t be coming home tonight; she sounded sad but understood when I said the princess needed me.

The next 3 hours ticked by slowly; every second as it seems took longer and longer. But I was relieved when the clock hit 9.

“You guys ready?” Nico asked

“Born ready” I replied
