>Your feet sink into the soft marshy earth as you cut your jetpack. >After you took down the blue one, the Equines would probably be looking for you. Adrenalin raced through your veins at the thought. >One Mando against a whole race of Multi-colored Equines? They'll need more troops. >You set up pitfalls, rope traps, and stash various weapons around the area surrounding your ship. >As night begins to fall again, the few sensors you have pick up movement heading your way. >They read about 13 warm bodies. >You settle down, right in the middle of the clearing and wait. >You hear shouts as the approachers meet your traps. Nothing lethal of course, just bone breakers and the like. >The thrashing through foliage gets louder and louder, so you crouch down  with your hand on your pistol. >Prisoners can be exchanged for supplies, so your blasters are set for stun. >You can't wait to get some actual food, not that glop you've been eating from the ships dispenser. >Oya, Equines. Let's roll. >The six that found you step into the clearing with two others in golden armour. >All of them are in various states, covered in scratches and cuts. >All but the blue and pink ones. >You lick your lips as the purple one scrutinizes you. She looks to the yellow one. "Does it look like any animal you've ever seen Fluttershy?" >The yellow one, Fluttershy, shakes her head. >She turns her head to you. "Why did you attack Rainbow Dash?" >The yellow one shouts as well. "Why did you hurt those wolves! They didn't hurt you!" >You resist the urge to roll your eyes and pull out your Bryar Pistol. The blue one, Rainbow Dash glares at you. >"Girls, watchout! That's the thing he used against me." >You smile under your helmet and start counting from three. "Ehn. >The Equines give you a strange look and ask among themselves if they understood you. >You reach two. "T'ad." >One of the armored Equines clear their throats. "In the name of the Solar Sisters, I pronounce you under arrest." >You laugh, hard. After several seconds of chuckling you level your Bryar pistol at the one who spoke. "Solus, your time is up." >They look at you in shock that you spoke basic, even as you pulled the trigger. >The guard crumpled to the ground out cold. You repeat with the other guard as he charges you and he slides several feet across the ground. >You laugh and bait the blue one as you step back. "Usenye, Go away! Maybe more worthy opponents will take your place." >The blue one and the orange one both take the bait surprisingly and charge. You step forward bringing your foot up against the orange ones head, knocking her away. >The blue one dives at you and you draw your vibroblade. You duck under her flying kick and slash high at her face. >She ducks and you shear some of her mane off, and bring your Bryar around in a pistol whip. >The blue one goes down, her skull making a cracking sound against your weapon. >The Orange one shouts at you and you bring up your wrist, loosing a gout of flames from the hidden flame projector. >She steps back and through the flames you nail her with a stunning shot. >She crumples to the ground, though she fought it. >You had to give her credit, that would've knocked a wookiee on it's ass. >A large stone impacts the side of your helmet and you turn your attention to the purple, white, and yellow ones. >The yellow one is glaring at you, and you feel a tickle in your skull. >You shake the feeling off  >The white and Purple both lift up more rocks, screaming the names of their allies. >You jet up, hovering by your jetpack ad you rain blaster fire at them. >you clip the white one and she goes down screaming about dirt. >The yellow one comes screaming at you from below. "You hurt my friends!" >You cut your jets and drop to the ground, under a swing from her hoof. >You're down to three. This was easier then you thought. >Rocks pelt you, bouncing harmlessly off your armour. You level a shot at the  Purple one and fire. >To your surprise, Fluttershy take the bolt for her friend and goes down quietly. >The purple one glares daggers at you, her eyes glowing white. What is this Osik? Parlor tricks? >"H-how could you do this, you-you...MONSTER!" That's it? She thinks they're dead. >If that's what it takes for a challenge then so be it. "Ke nu'jurkadir sha Mando'ade, Di'kut." >She throws screams and your sensors all go fuzzy. Energy pushes you back steadily. You can't even get a proper shot. >Then you feel it, your armor starts grinding and twisting around you. >These things have Jedi? Powerful ones at that. >she jerks her head and you slam face first into a tree, scarring the paint of your armor. >Your nose breaks and you can feel warm blood dribble down, taste the coppery twang of blood. >You slump down, playing dead and the raging mare approaches. >"How...How could you! Rainbow Dash never got to become a wonderbolt...Rarity never met her stallion..." >You tune her out as she rambles on, then your helmet comes off and she stares right into your open eyes. "You're still-" > She was cut off as you put a dart into her forehead, knocking her out with a swift acting tranquilizer. >You get up, blood pouring from your twisted nose. All around you laid the knocked out bodies of the equine creatures. >All but one. You spin around, bringing your pistol to bare. >The Pink one waited, and here she stood with a cannon pointed at you. >"Mirdala'ika. You're going to be the real challenge, arn't you?" >The pink one grits her teeth and moves to fire her cannon. "Ahaha! I wouldn't do that." >You gently pull a thermal detonator from your belt, the pressure switch on. If you let go, boom. >You stood next to the Orange and Blue ones. "What is that?" She growls out. >You laugh, and with blood coating your face you probably look like some evil beast. "Let's just say, if I lose my grip of this none of us will be leaving here." >She eases off the cannon. "Tell me Mirdala'ika, what is your name?" >She gives you a death stare as her mane goes flat. "Pinkamina Diane Pie." >You give a little mock bow. "I am Anonymous, Bounty Hunter. I am also a generous man Miss Pinkamina." >She cocks her head and settles onto all four. "I can tell your interested." You flash her your blood-stained teeth as a grin. >She doesn't even flinch, you like this one. "This has been fun, and I think this might happen again. So, what I'm willing to do is.." >She leans in, those blue eyes of hers like ice. "What?" >"You get your friends, leave, but try this again when you're a challenge." >She grits her teeth and moves to the cannon but you flash the detonator. >She growls at you a moves to Applejack, waking her up from the stun. "Ah, wha-Where are we?" >Pinkamina shakes her head and tells her to get the others. >In minutes, you're watching the defeated Ponies limp off in defeat. >You deactivate the detonator and set it back on your belt. Adrenalin was already ebbing from your system. >With a crack you put your nose back into place, the pain feeling oddly gratifying. >You pick up your fallen Vibroblade and re-holster it.  >Well, time to go hunting for tonights dinner. >You retrieve your Verpine Shatter Rifle and replace your helmet then venture off into the forest. >In a few minutes you set up on a small hill overlooking a stream. >It's late, but you hope something is an insomniac. You don't want ration cubes again. >You lay prone, time ticking by with your entire body sore. Your eyelids get heavy and you stand at the edge of the waking world and dreamland. >Memories of your father teaching you to hunt and fish came up. >A cracking twig wakes you up and you look through the scope, you were getting soft. You almost fell asleep. >Through your scope you see a tall brown furred creature with a head sporting massive horns. >You sight it in, aiming just above the shoulder. >You inhale and pull the trigger. The round flies soundless to the target and you watch the large animal topple over, it's legs jerking and twitching. >A grin broke out under your helmet, that thing would be big enough for a few days. >You slide down the hill and cross the stream to the fallen beast. You pull out a sturdy Trandoshan blade and start gutting. >"Girls, maybe it's over this a'way." >Your head jerks up at the voices. It sounded almost like the orange one, Applejack. >You jerk up your rifle as three small Equines step into the clearing. >The white one speaks up as she sees the beast. "Mister, what did you do to that deer?" >"I'm securing food for the next few days, go away." The white one steps back but one with a little red bow and another with a burnt orange coat stepforward. "Hai, Ah'm Applebloom, this is Scootaloo, an' that's Sweetie Bell." >You holster your rifle on your back and toss the deer over your shoulder. "Head back to your homes small ones, this forest isn't a place meant for you." >They don't listen, and just follow you. >For the next twenty minutes, you're subjected to various questions about everything, and you arn't stretching the truth. >The sounds of the forest eventually get to them, and they practically walk on your heels in fear. >You turn your head to spare a glance back at them. Sweetie Bell has her horn glowing for light, Applejack has puffed herself up and Scootaloo looked almost the same. >You say almost as you notice her eyes flickering across the visible tree line and her ears working like tiny radar. >She seems better adjusted then the others. You stop and the trio smack into the backs of your legs. >"For the last time, go home." Applebloom, ever the voice for the group pipes up. "But, we don't know tha' way back." >Scootaloo perks up as something moves in the brush. You faintly make out the form of two wolves. >You may have been a bastard, but you weren't merciless.  >You sigh and wave the three to your ship as you finally step out into the clearing. "You leave at dawn, don't touch anything." >They ignore you and proceed to do the exact opposite. They touched EVERYTHING.  >You constantly had to remind yourself they were kids.  >You got to work on preparing dinner, having to restart several times because of various 'accidents'. >You had to lock up most of your explosives after Sweetie found a Cryoban grenade. >Tonight was going to be a long night for Anonymous.
