Deserts of the unknown ch. 4
A/N: I don't own MLP EG and only my OCs. Any reviews will be nice as will any tips for improving the story. This is also the beginning of a battle of the bands piece
As the sun rose proving he had been shooting all night Chris mumbled as David walked in with a bow and arrow across his back and a bow staff in his hands and he looked and said quietly
"Hey brother you are a hard man to find and its not like there is a price on your head or anything" and they both had a smile as they both hadn't been talking to each other in about a month and he was shocked seeing his brother with a rough beard and a dark eyes with a head a black hair cut which he kept hidden under a black cowl that made him look more like a ninja than anything else. As the two boys gave each other a fist bump Chris flashed a look of shock and said casually
"Well you dumb son of a bitch you know this aint an archery town and it'll be had as shit to get you to blend in here and I have a range so you can leave the bow here and I think we should get ready because a dance is tonight" and David just smiled and said
"I was gone for a month from CHS and now there is a dance and I wonder did Vinyl ask about me at all?" and Sunset Shimmer walked in after knocking on the door and bringing in the homework of the kids who had called in sick that day said with a slight laugh
"You think your girlfriend had her headphones off long enough to notice you weren't around?" and Dave laughed and said with a smile as he grabbed a set of keys to his SUV
"I'm going to go see her and talk to yall later so don't worry nothing will happen and even help get set up for the fall formal and then a date so piss off" and he then tore off in his SUV blaring dubstep and the rest of the group just shook their heads and Sunset asked with her voice relaying the shock she felt
"Does he always play that music so loud and doesn't he know that he could go deaf from that?" and they all replied in unison
"Yes but do you think he really gives a damn?" and they all smiled as Sunset looked down and was a tad embarrassed and muttered
"Sorry I didn't know" and they all laughed and said
"It's ok and we all took a little bit of getting used to it especially because even on operations he had it quietly in his headset which pissed us off because we could feel the vibrations and always checked the sky thinking it was an air attack so we enjoyed when he went off being a sniper" and Chris looked at the assembled crowd and pulled out his custom 45 and dumped the whole mag into a target on the edge of a berm 50 yards away stunning the girls who had not seen the gun appear. As the girls all felt their hearts slowly settle down Chris remarked to the group
"I always carry the gun and at least another weapon-" and he pulled out a stiletto V96 commando knife and smiled seeing the interested look of dash and jack and he finished the statement saying
"My trusty dagger and it is always carried next to me and I mean it goes everywhere with me" and sunset asked with a bit of glee
"So how long have you been armed and why do you go to school with weapons and do you think the rest of us could get a weapon or something similar?" and with a smirk dash and applejack looked and dash said
"Yeah boy you aren't leaving us unarmed are you?" and he smiled and picked up a duffle bag and set it down before unzipping it and pulling out a variety of side arms ranging from a peacemaker revolver to a to the UZI machine pistol and Dash saw the Glock 17C and smiled and yelled
"MINE!" and swung around a V42 combat knife and swung it fast scaring the rest as AJ grabbed the colt 45 revolvers and trench knife and yelled
"Hell yes!" while twilight grabbed a broom handle Mauser and a butterfly knife while Rarity grabbed the luger that had clattered to the table as Chris shook the bag on the table to expose even more weapons causing twilight to remark
"Well damn you are a walking arms bazaar if I do say so" and he slid over the dagger to rarity and said with a smile
"That belongs to you so everyone has a handgun and knife combo" and sunset said with a bit of annoyance
"Not everyone but I take it you don't really give a damn about us so sure everyone has a weapon" and he laughed and grabbed the coke and crown royal whiskey and said
"Save the best for last so why don't you pony up to the table and yes pun intended, and grab a gun and knife because I have just the set for both of you" and both smiled as applejack just groaned and said melodramatically
"God enough with the damned puns and it hurts I'm not going to lie" and fluttershy looked scared seeing the guns and said trying to keep her nerves in check
"I-I don't like guns and don't which ones to pick so can you pick for me?" and Chris just smiled and said with sympathy evident as his soft side showed
"of course and all any of you had to do was ask for my help if you needed it" and he looked fluttershy up and down making her blush and dash jealous and applejack looked at him and mumbled
"You better know what you're doing" and he looked and said
"I was torn between a compact colt .45 but seeing as you don't like gun and seem a little timid I recommend this" and he produced a combination of a .380 lightning pistol and a neck knife and seeing her smile he saw sunset shimmer starting to walk away with tears in her eyes and he yelled out
"Hey all but one of us has been armed with a gun and knife and that just won't do so grab a weapon or two" and the whole basement went silent and all eyes flashed to sunset and she asked starting to think more like a soldier and spy than anything else
"I guess I'll get the weapons that no one wants and that will make me a liability up to the time I die in combat or in a misfire accident" and all Chris would say was
"Couldn't find a Russian knife that I trusted so I had a buddy of mine make a Russian version of my trusty mk 3 combat knife and a couple modern fairbairn-sykes stilettos and I'm taking one of both to go with my Glock and colt pistols and you side arm if you choose to accept it is a Russian tt33 handgun and a Makarov back up gun" and she smiled and holstered them and as that was taken care of rarity living up to her usual MO exclaimed and annoyed the rest
"Ill make us all matching holsters well at least for the lovers and then make us all stylish versions to replace these ugly things and how do we wear them exactly?" Rarity asked with the others throwing him a look asking the exact same question and he laughed and said
"I have two versions I prefer but I brought three so you can pick what suits you best with them being a shoulder holster that david uses and I sometimes have but I prefer a hip holster so I can cover them up with my shirt or a base of the spine because I am willing to be armed and the book types or those that have up down lifting should use the shoulder rig while the others is strictly choice that is unless twi and rarity wouldn't mind showing they were armed" and both of them settled on the shoulder rig as fluttershy asked nervously
"W-wont my animals get caught in the rigs I am wearing?" and Chris said with a slight smirk
"Don't worry I customized the rig for the person I am tailoring for so can I see your ankle?" and as she slowly nodded and rolled her pant leg up she winced slightly at the odd feeling of a strap being tightened on her ankle and Applejack said calmly
"Now give your ankle a little wiggle but don't kick him in the face I love him" as Chris pushed off the floor and on to his feet exposing the colt and because he had arched his back his knife started to fall out only to stop and he smiled then said
"I don't know if we have the dance tonight or not but I have something if you are interested" and as they all stood stunned Chris said just like a kid who was showing off for his peers, which he was in his own way
"Why are you all slack jawed I mean this aint nothing so why don't you all put your tongues back in your mouths" then he swung around and rolled on his feet and smiled as David walked in and said
"hey boy why don't you quit showing off and tell them what you are doing because we have to decide what to do because I have the dance tonight that I'm DJing so make it quick cause I have to see their reactions" and Chris looked and said calmly
"I have a job for us and the pay is 20 fucking grand and we get to be out of school for a long weekend so who wants to go?" and David yelled
"Can you shut the fuck up because I am sure that the group will make a decision that will be smart and benefit all of us like getting the rainbooms together" and Richard who had heard the pay called out bringing down a bottle of rum and three mason jars and apple cider made in the traditional way meaning it had alcohol
"Well boy you really undersold that one so god damn try again" and Chris knew he was trying to get a rise out of him and replied
"Long weekend and the ability to prove we still have the edge" and seeing the decision Dash wanted to avoid a fight from the brothers and said
"Why don't we go play in the field and Dave can run the dance so if we get a little enthusiastic the music Dave plays can cover for us so we don't get arrested trying to earn a paycheck" and they all did knuckles as Dave smiled and said
"Ill see you all later and Chris you and Richard don't break the new recruits" and the girls all turned on the song last Friday and Chris looked at dash and said
"You ripped your favorite party dress warrants out for my arrest I could use a ginger ale that was such an epic fail" and Derpy ran over with a vest of grenades with half of the spoons missing with the other half of the pins starting to fall out and Richard grabbed her and they sent the grenade belt flying and Chris tackled her and covered her ears and body from shrapnel and waited till the bomb went down and he looked at Richard and said
"Holy shit that sucked and I didn't know I could fly" and got up laughing and Dave just shook his head then said
"Ill see you all later and for the love of god boys don't kill them" and he left the boys and the girls and Dash ran over to Chris with a Ares shrike LMG which looked like an M16 had a baby with the M240 LMG and Richard held up an M60 and yelled
"Call me mister pig" and Dash and Chris laughed before Chris grabbed a 240B with the stock collapsed and a medium barrel and the 762 Ares rifle slung over his shoulder and dropped to his belly and Dash ran over and said
"I call dibs on AG and scootaloo why don't you be our powder pony?" and she ran out decked out in body armor and said
"yes big sister" and Richard pointed to Pinkie and Sweetie belle and called out
"Have my AG and powder pony so training begins now" and both boys practiced machine gun and switching with their AGs quickly and they held down the mags and as they smiled Chris said with darkness prevalent in his voice
"Alright time to have a bit of training with pistols and knives because we have an op tonight" and they all practiced shooting and killing with blades and Dash proved that she had the skills as did jack and Chris looked at them and said
"Find somewhere to hide because me and Richard tonight will commit the first kill of the new demon dogs and after we go to school the next day provided we don't get arrested" and laughed after he said that. Hopping in the jeep that the boys had ridden in but without the light machine gun as it would attract to much attention they both cruised up on the target with the girls fanning out to pull security on the raid Dash and twilight knocked on the doors nearby and said quietly trying not to laugh as they were being like Ronin samurai
"Next door we will be doing a bit of construction work so don't worry and stay in your house" and they knocked on the boys shoulders letting them know it was ok to proceed and they blew the lock in and slashed the man's throat sending a spray of crimson all over the room painting the colors of a morbid sunset and Richard remarked like a sadistic Bob ross
"Well the sunset is a bright night touch and I think we could do better for another art gallery" and to ensure he was dead and to throw off the cops they shot him in the face with suppressed pistols splattering his skull all over the room in the flash of a handgun covering them both in blood and brain matter and Richard said like Hannibal Lecter
"I call this painting with skin" as he drug the man's body around smearing the blood and used his hand to splay the anarchy sign on the window sills and then doused the man in acid before the boys robbed and ransacked the house before taking off after cracking open the gas main and lighting candles sending the building up in a ball of fire as they put the pedal to the metal getting home as the sirens wailed in the opposite direction. As they all got back to the ranch Twilight walked in from the dance with a friend of hers named Josh and said
"Dave heard the explosions of the cut gas main and we found a new trooper for the Demons and here is his weapon of choice and she held up an M16 with a 203 grenade launcher and a glock 17 pistol and Chris threw him a patch and said laughing
"Welcome to the dogs boy and new recruits sleep outside first" and they all laughed as Chris fell asleep in his ranch house with a bottle of whiskey and he woke up with a pounding head and Vinyl was passed out in the yard and Chris yelled
"Wake up damn it we have a class to go to and we can't afford to be late" and Sunset woke up and quickly threw her dark clothes and said
"They can get themselves and Dash and Richard are in" and Richard smacked his hand on the side and held onto the roll bar as Chris slammed the pedal down with his boots and black tactical clothes fitting him and as they pulled in sunset ran to gym class and two kids he looked like they had been beaten with the ugly stick started to tear into Sunset laughing as soon as she started Crying only to be stunned as Big mac had been given brass knuckles and he put them to use knocking one guy out and sunset let a wicked smile cross her face as she tackled the other and pulled out her tokarev pistol and beat the kid into unconsciousness splitting his nose and slamming more blows on his head cutting his head and exposing the dull white bone of his skull which she tried pulverizing with her modified pistol which was chambered for .45 and as she stopped with blood splattered on the floor and her jacket and even her shirt laughing like a maniac with a sadistic smile reminiscent of the joker plastered on her face then she dropped the gun laughing like a maniac only to have Dash who had ran in pick it up and nod as sunset pushed herself up onto her feet and rubbed blood on her face then walked into principle celestia's office and said
"Before you say anything that scumbag deserved it" and then she broke down crying and was stunned when Celestia said
"Go home and take the rest of the day off and all of you try and be normal kids for a day meaning no guns" and sunset nodded and took off so no one saw her cry as her makeup started smearing making her look like chucky combined with Carrie and she then started getting range time as the rest of the group all came home and grabbed guns to blow off steam as they were all out for revenge.
