“Commander.” I paused seeing a platoon of unicorn soldiers as I got off a teleportation pad. “I was instructed to intercept your teleportation at three. We are currently in Canterlot, in the royal teleportation room.”

“Who instructed you?”

“Princess Celestia.”

“Okay.” I said annoyed, I didn’t like being taken mid teleportation. We went to the military command room and our military command pony structure was running around doing things. I sighed as a unicorn mare bumped into me and I frowned making her back into a desk scared knocking things over.

“Seffron!” Celestia called over and I looked at her with Luna talking. I walked over to them and they both smiled.

“Hello.” I bowed slightly, I didn’t really care about respecting them, but it made others think I respected them, and it made them respect me. “I was a bit surprised you brought me here, but was there something you needed?”

“We wanted to congratulate you on this victory over the dragon king.”

“Yeah.” It wasn’t even a joke, that was just like crushing a large ant, not really worth the energy wasted on it. “Was that it?”

“No, Applejack will be on leave for a while, something about her sister, we want you to step up as general while she’s away.”

“No events will happen till the Lich, and he won’t be that bad. We’ve gotten ready for him and we’re pretty much good to go. Have Vice General Bouclier do it. I had him promoted for this exact reason, so I wouldn’t have to.”

“Bouclier is also on leave for health issues.” Luna said.

“Epee just finished an op with me so I know he isn’t going anywhere, he was a massive help, we’re been needing a sub vice general for a while. Promote him for doing so well on this last op and have him do it.”

“Very well.” Celestia said.

“I’m going to be helping Applejack find her sister.” Celestia nodded and I teleported appearing next to Applejack. She jumped a little seeing me.

“Seffron!” I looked around. We were in the bed a truck headed toward Manehatten. I looked around. Other than the driver we were alone. “What are you doing here?” I licked my lips and she became uneasy.

“I told you that you can’t escape me.”

“But I wasn’t running.”

“Did you ask me?” I moved pinning her down on her long cushion, she stared at me surprised. “Or did you just assume you had a choice.” I licked the dragon soul gem on her chest and she cringe as pleasure washed over her.

“Wait!” I licked it again and she moaned.

“If I did that then the trip would be very boring.” She blushed and I kissed her rubbing her side a little.

“We’re five minutes from Manehatten.”

“Give me a single minute.” I smiled and she rolled her eyes.

“Nope, but really, I need to find my sister, I have a bad feeling about this, please help me with them. They’ve been gone for a long time, and they stopped sending letters a few weeks ago.” She held up a letter, I took I and she didn’t try to get up.

“Let’s see here.” I opened the letter. “Dear family, I’m in Manehatten, okay not that hard finding her.”

“Keep reading.” I skimmed the letter.

“We have been kicked out of our apartment, we’re coming home if we can’t find a new apartment soon. We are running low on money, it would help if some was sent. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle are safe with me and we are going to go see Babs, to see if she’ll put us up for the night, don’t have much time to write, it’s getting dark out and we need to get to shelter. Love Apple-bloom.”

“That was the last letter we received.” I looked at it for a few seconds. I got up and sat across from her. That was anything but a good sign, Manehatten was known for not being friendly at night time. If she was out at even dusk, they were probably in bad places and weren’t going to be as happy as Applejack wanted.

“You should have shown me this earlier.” Sweetie Ring, or Sweetie Bell was a fun mare, she had become one of several dozen mares which were whores for the military. They kept even low ranked soldiers company for a small fee. Sweetie Ring was just one of the high ranked ones, that only dealt with high end ranked soldiers.

“I didn’t get it till today, that’s why I’m not there yet.” I sighed giving it back to her and leaned back looking up.

“Well Big Mac shouldn’t have been an idiot about this, he should have told you before this. Long before this.”

“It’s fine, after me beating the crap out of several of my family, it’s understandable why they wouldn’t want me back. I just get so mad sometimes, they should be smarter than that, they’re my family.”

“Don’t worry about it.” I looked around as we entered the city. The truck took us to Bab’s apartment, or so I assumed. I had never met Babs before.

“We’ll be back soon, don’t leave, we’ll need to drive other place.” The soldier nodded and we walked into an apartment complex going up the stairs to a room.

“Babs has been living here for a while, or at least that’s what her parents are paying for right now.”

I looked around and this apartment was marked up pretty bad. Several gangs had claim over this single building, I could only imagine the area. At this rate we would be lucky to find their corpses. We walked up the stairs and she knocked on room twenty one.

“One moment.” An orange mare with red hair opened the door, she was dirty, smelled of drugs, pregnant, and had bruises on her body. Applejack grit her teeth frowning deeply. She wasn’t happy. “Can I help ya?”

“Apple-bloom.” Applejack said.

“Oh Applejack, I didn’t realize, um she’s not here.”

“Where is she, we got a letter saying, this was where she was headed last.”

“Yeah, over a month ago, I held her up for about a week, I haven’t seen her in a month, I thought she headed home after what her boyfriend did.”

“Boyfriend?” She paused.

“Yeah, Ranchy, he hit on her pretty bad, broke a rib or two from what I saw, she started to wear clothes after that. I would invite you in, but I don’t think my husband would like it. He doesn’t like guests.” Applejack’s expression fell.

“Babs,” I started. “You should go to Ponyville, there isn’t anything here for you.”

“What?”

“Applejack please see to her getting on the truck, she’ll be going to my boarding house, I’m about to have some fun.” She nodded and clipped a collar onto Babs before she could stop Applejack.

“What the hell?!” She tried getting it off but it choked her making her stop.

“That’s a obedience collar, if you try to take it off it chokes, if you disobey, well let’s just say it’s painful.”

“Come,” Applejack said, she yelled as she felt fire go through her veins. “I wasn’t asking you.” Babs followed Applejack and I walked into the apartment hearing laughter. I walked around a corner seeing five pony playing cards. All of them were tattooed, and in some kind of gang.

“Hey who is Babs’s husband?” I asked and they all looked at me.

“Who the hell is this?” A, unicorn asked.

“I’m Seffron, now answer my question.”

“I am,” an earth pony said. “Now get.” His head fell off.

“Thanks, just wanted to make sure I got the right guy.” They all got up and then they fell to pieces. “Such a mess.” I snapped my claws burning away their corpses and cleaning up the apartment to look as good as new. I went down to the manager’s office and knocked.

“What?” A pegasus asked smelling of beer.

“The apartment twenty one is no longer going to be used, burn the contract.”

“No way, I got another five months.” I grabbed his throat.

“I’m General Seffron of the Equestria’s military, I can kill any pony I deem a threat for any reason, even if you annoy me. If you don’t rip it up or come to collect, I'll come to collect your head.” He swallowed. “Or do you need to lose an eye to remember?”

“No.” I dropped him. “Rent it out to another, I’m sure you’ll find some pony.” I walked outside and got onto the truck bed.

“Where’s Bane?” Babs asked.

“Killed him and his friends, burned their corpses.” Both of them stared at me. “They attacked me.” I said chuckling and tears went down her face. “Don’t worry.” I pulled Babs close to me. “I won’t fix your foal from being born.” She flinched. “If you’re good that is, I don’t care for filth.” She gulped and I let go of her.

“Babs, where might they be?” Applejack asked not really caring.

“I don’t know.”

“I know Scootaloo is two blocks away,” I said. “Hotel Gag, room nine.” The truck started driving and Applejack stared at the ground. “Applejack, you’ll want to stay in the truck for this, you know we are given kill rights, correct?”

“Not for this reason.”

“Gangs are small armed forces attacking pony, foal-napping, raping, and any number of things. They are just as much an enemy army as any other. They are organized, trained and will attack on sight.”

“I guess.”

“You didn’t need to kill him!” Babs shouted and her collar started choking her.

“Oh sorry, did I forget that it’ll choke you if you talk back.” It stopped and she started to cry. We got to the hotel and several street walkers were on corners making me chuckle. I didn’t mind the prostitution, but drugs were another thing. That was going to be the first thing I cleansed this world of, along with gangs.

“Fine, you can deal with it.” I smiled and got off going over to an earth pony street walker.

“Excuse me, do you know any pony by the name of Sweetie Belle or Apple-bloom?” I asked holding up a platinum bit. Her eyes went wide and she took it.

“I’ve heard the name Apple-bloom, but Sweetie Belle was sent to Canterlot. She refused to work on low end clients, all I know about Apple-bloom was she wasn’t up for sell, she had a stallion keeping her his, but I think they went with her. Her stallion was Sweetie Belle pimp from my memory, but I don’t think they are up for sell.”

“I wasn’t asking to buy them.” I walked pass her to the hotel room, a large unicorn stallion was sitting reading a newspaper.

“Hey.” He looked at me.

“Scootaloo here?” I asked flipping a gold gemmed bit making his eyes go wide.

“She’s inside, but she’s a five bit gag, not a hundred. If you got that kind of money, you might want something more willing, maybe a bit cleaner.” I frowned.

“She here?”

“Yeah.” He evaporated instantly, and I opened the door to see Scootaloo chained to a post on a bed, a chain could be pulled and she would be stretched out on the bed in a bad manner. She looked at me scared, she was beaten, bloody, and anything but healthy.

“Scootaloo?” She stared at me scared.

“Y-yes?” She asked more nervous than scared now. I snapped my claws cleaning her up, healing her and making her chains turn to dust.

“Come on, you’re going home.” She jumped off the bed and ran out to the truck getting on and hugging Applejack. Scootaloo was as pretty much skin and bones at this point, but she had nice large wings.

“Scootaloo.” Applejack said and they hugged.

“Thank you.” She cried into Applejack. “I thought I was going to die.”

“Driver Canterlot.” I held out a pencil and paper to Scootaloo and she looked at it. “The name of every pony that touched you, every pony that did you wrong. If you don’t know their name then just their cutie mark.”

“Why?”

“Now’s not the time for that.” Applejack said.

“Kill list.” She stared at me and looked at Babs for a second, before she took it and started writing. She filled out a pages of names, and three pages of cutie marks. I put it away and she hugged Applejack.

The trip wasn’t too bad, with cars, we could now make a trip from just about any city to Canterlot in just a few hours. We made it by night fall and went to the high end areas, which Scootaloo pointed us toward. The most likely place for Sweetie Belle.

We stopped at a rather rich hotel, five stars, which meant only royals, or very wealthy pony could even afford walking through the doors. I got out and stopped Applejack and she sat back down without another word.

“Stay, I won’t be long.” I said to the driver and he nodded. I walked into the lobby and pony instantly noticed me. I had met Sweet Belle many times, and she had the same scent as Sweetie Ring.

“Can I help you?” The earth pony hotel manager asked blocking my way.

“I’m here on military business, I suggest you move.” He stepped back as I cracked my fists. I walked up the stairs to a hotel room. I tapped the lock and it unlocked. Sweetie Belle and a Prince Blue-blood looked at me surprised having not gotten started yet.

“Can I help you?” Prince Blue-blood asked annoyed.

“I suggest you leave before I kill you.” I held up my hand and a fire ball appeared making his eyes go big. He got up and left quickly.

“What the hell?” Sweetie Belle asked.

“What you like being a whore?” She frowned.

“Shut up.” She rolled her eyes.

“I’m here to take you home.”

“Really? I’m stoked, just to be pushed aside again, or get yelled at for doing something stupid again. You know what, why don’t you screw off, then maybe I can actually make a living.” I chuckled and shut the door.

“Sweetie Belle, tell me, how much do you cost?” She stared at me.

“What?”

“How much?”

“You think you can afford me?”

“I know I could.” She rolled her eyes.

“One platinum bit per finish.”

“You’re or mine?” She laughed.

“As if.” I pulled out five platinum bits and juggled them with one hand. “You, wait you’re joking right?” I smiled showing my teeth going from ear to ear.

“Am I?” She swallowed. “Next to me selling gems, weapons, working for the military, and several other side project, I make two platinum bits and hour.” I went over to her and pulled her close to me scaring her from my aura alone. “And that’s on the days I’m lazy, of course I enjoy it rough.” She closed her eyes scared. “I'll enjoy you so long and so hard, you’ll bleed your sweet juice.”

“I’m not accepting your business.” I pulled her closer to me so she could feel my warm breath on her neck.

“Oh please, don’t make me laugh, that prince was your first business. You haven’t been touched yet.” She looked at me surprised.

“How did you know that?”

“You smell clean, no male has been inside you, unlike Scootaloo, you were smart and played to your white coat. Made them think you’re white collar worth. I am however surprised you were able to stay away from training.”

“This was to pop me.” She looked down.

“Poor choice if you ask me.”

“I don’t have a choice, do you realize that I can’t just run, they would find me, Scootaloo tried, and, she, I don’t.”

“Out in the truck with Babs.” Her eyes went wide. “Which is where you better be soon or I’m going to use those platinum bits on your ass, literally.” She started walking and we went out to the truck. She got on and I did as well.

“Scootaloo!” They hugged each other. “I’m so sorry, I couldn’t stop them.”

“I know,” Scootaloo said crying. “It’s not your fault, they would have done the same to you had you tried. I’m glad your alright.”

“I’m really sorry, you’ll hate me, but I’m still clean.” Tears ran down Scootaloo’s face and she smiled.

“Thank Celestia, that is the first good bit of news I’ve heard in weeks.”

“Where’s Apple-bloom?” I asked and Sweetie Belle looked down.

“Third key apartments.” The truck started moving. “Are you sure you’ll be able to protect Scootaloo?” I sighed and Applejack hugged her.

“Don’t mock me.” I looked at the sky, it was getting dark, and this would start to become a war if we weren’t careful.

“We’re here.” The driver said and I got out.

“Room three hundred and two.” Sweetie Belle said and I went into the apartment complex. This place was much nicer than Babs apartment, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t owned by a gang, they just had their markings on banners and posters.

I went to the stairs and stopped realizing that I was surrounded. At least a dozen large unicorns were in the room with some kind of weapon on them. A very large earth pony was on the stairs entrance with a list.

“Can I help you?” He asked.

“I’m here to see Apple-bloom.”

“Name?”

“Seffron, I’m a old friend, she doesn’t know I’m here.”

“Then I can’t let you up.”

“I’m General Seffron of Equestria’s military, if you don’t allow me access I'll kill you all.” I growled lightly and all of them backed up. “Now then, I will tell you one more time, I’m here to see Apple-bloom.” He opened the gate.

“Three hundred and one.” I paused, not the same number as what Sweetie Belle had given me, but if they wanted to die, that was their choice. I went up to the third floor and went to the door. I pushed it open breaking the door. I frowned seeing sixteen unicorns in light armor. I sighed and they pulled out swords.

“How stupid.” I held up my hand making a fire ball and all their horns glowed, but stopped as I sucked their magic away as well as the air and water. They mummified in less than a minute falling to the ground dead. I then went to the right door knocking.

“Who is it?!” A stallion shouted. I pushed the door in the middle, ripping out the locks from the wall and making it fall to the ground. A earth pony stallion looked at me surprised, and two pegasus looked at me, they were playing poker.

“Apple-bloom.” I said walking into the room and I paused looking at her laying on the bed knocked out, and bleeding.

“Who the hell.” Their vocal cords crushed stopping them from screaming as their bones grinded to dust falling to the ground like bags of blood and flesh.

“Poor little mare.” I picked her up healing her. “You shouldn’t have left home.” Their internal organs started to rot slowly. “I’m glad you’re alive.” Their minds broke as mine invaded theirs, they went brain dead dying after a few minutes. Their bodies then burned away. I went down stairs and the pony all paused seeing me unharmed.

“How did.” All of them evaporated.

“Stupid pony.” I went out to the truck and set her down on the bed. I sat down and Applejack hugged Apple-bloom.

“How badly was she hurt?” Applejack asked.

“She was on a bed out cold. I'll make a run or two before anything.”

“Oh here,” Scootaloo said handing me another list. “From Sweetie Belle.” I put it away and sat back.

“Take us home driver.” I hit the roof. “Oh Sweetie Belle your sister is getting married soon.”

“What?!” Sweetie Belle asked.

“Yeah, also she broke up with Spike. I don’t know the Stallion, but she’s moving to Canterlot, but you’ll be staying in Ponyville till I say otherwise, in fact all of you will be. Is that clear?” They all nodded but Babs which looked away. I yawned a little.

“But is Apple-bloom even allowed back?” Scootaloo asked.

“Why wouldn’t she be?” Applejack asked.

“Well your family disowned her when she refused to come back. I think they also did it to Applejack.” Applejack looked away and I chuckled making them look at me. “You think that’s funny?!”

“Who’s going to tell that they’re there?” I asked.

“Big Mac would.” Applejack said.

“No he wouldn’t, and even if he did tell, what are they going to do?”

“Come take the farm, they don’t let disowned family get even one seed from our fields, they would block us and send the farm into ruin.” I smiled at the thought.

“You feed all of Ponyville with your apples, so do you really think, they could ruin the farm? You own the most fertile ground around, and Ponyville won’t allow for another apple field. Not only that, do you really think they could force you out?”

“Well you got a point, but Big Mac wouldn’t allow it.”

“I bet you with five words from me, he’ll say you can stay.”

“I'll take that bet.” I grinned and pulled Applejack over to me hugging her.

“I bet you would, and once I win, I'll be enjoying some sweet apples.” She blushed a little. We drove back to Ponyville.
