The chapter title is sort of giving it away isnt it? Anyways, enjoy the new chapter!

[Poison, at the market square]

I was walking around town, buying grocieries for Fluttershy, then i heard of Shane so happened to stop the drug shipment, and doing the 'Impossible'. Anyways, i got all of the supplies, except for the celery for Angel. Now were is it... There it is. I walked over to the celery stand. I saw that this pony was your average pony. "Hello human. How may i help you?"

I point at the celery.

"That will be 3 bits."

I handed the pony the last of the bits Fluttershy gave me. After gathering the last of the supplies i headed toward Fluttershys place. I thought. I wonder how everyone would react if i started talking to them. Very suprised, i dont want to do so yet. I walked over the bridge that continues to Fluttershys house. Now i am thinking about what to do. I dont really know what to do. I never really did anything in the past time except tend to her garden and animals, which i really enjoy doing. I came up to Fluttershys door. I used the key she gave me to open her door. I walked inside to see some of Fluttershys animals, especially Angel, looking at Fluttershy. I looked at them, confused as i set down her groceries. I walked over to Fluttershy to see she has a black eye. My first reaction: "What happened?" I said.

"Oh, uh, i just ran into a, door." She replied. Angel looked at me and nodded a no. I looked at Fluttershy. "What really happened?"

"What do you mean?" She says.

"Your not a very good liar." I reply.

Fluttershy sighed. "Can you keep a secret? Everyone?" All of the animals nodded. "Yes." I said.

She took a deep breath. "I am... The Monarch." Some of the animals gasped. I scratched my helmet. "Who is the Monarch?"

"Im the bounty hunter, the one that caught some of the meanest bad guys." Oh, that bounty hunter. "I remember now. But right now, i would like to know who did it?"

"When i was trying to catch the meanest drug dealer in Manehattan, another one showed up too."

"Who?"

She took another deep breath "Shane." I continued to look at Fluttershy. I stood up and walked out of the door. And walked down the road.

[Minutes later...]

I flew to Shane at his house, which was near Rainbowdashs in the sky, vecterial wise. I flew down toward Shane to see how he would react. I landed next to him. "Oh man, if it werent for you John, i could have been in some deep-"

"John?! What did you do?" Asked Rainbowdash. "I gave him a magic-proof wristband."

"First of all, i didnt see you do so, secondly, I never thought you could assist a criminal."

"Im not a criminal." Said Shane. I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around to see Posion walking toward us. "Hey poison!" I said with a happy voice. He simply walks right past me. Whats wrong with him? He walks directly infront of Shane. "Can i help you?" He says. Then Poison did a powerful punch at shanes face, destroying his sunglasses, and knocking him down. Then Poison grabbed him by his shirt. And the unbelievable happens, "I cannot believe you could punch Fluttershy in the face you b*tch!" Poison yells. Shane pushes Poison off of him. Both me, RD and Shane were shocked. Due to the fact that Poison actually talked, stood up to Shane, and that Shane so happened to punch Fluttershy, in the face. "What?! Why would i do that?"

"You may not have realized it, but that pony you punched in the orange and black suit? THAT WAS FLUTTERSHY!"

"W-what?" Shane says in dismay. Shane stood up and took off his broken sunglasses. "Gee, sorry bro, but i didnt know. And im glad to see you actually talk. I thought you were a mute."

"Shut the hell up." Said Poison as he walked off the way he came. Wow. I have never seen Poison talk, or act like that. "Did you see that? He talked!"

"So i see Shane." I said. Poison is protective over Fluttershy. Thats new. I wonder what makes him react to the fact that Shane punched her. "Shane, can you tell me how you so happened to punch Fluttershy in the face?"

"During my time stopping Chavino, a bounty hunter, or 'The Monarch' came in with a orange like butterfly suit, and tried to stop me from catching Chavino. Oh! I almost forgot about the order! See you later John!" He said as he ran off. Odd, but not really. Shane has made deals before in his past before the war, i wouldnt be surprised if he did make more. Anyways, with the blueprints complete, i think it would be a good idea to hire construction workers.

Wait...

Claw tech entering Sattelite radius...

[Stinger, Carrier to Ponyville]

Claw thinks it would be good to hit RBPA right in the heart, or Ponyville, filled with disgusting creatures. Again, we are ordered to catch as many as possible. So far, the Cross-cutter is almost complete with the help of these ponies. Today, our mission is to eliminate any one of the 'Mane-Six' to stop this, Elements of harmony. Claw knows that this pathetic power is powerful in the strangest way: Friendship. Along with this, we must attempt to stop RBPA's leader, John Cervantes. I am commanding my own squad of Bee-Jets, and we are ready to go.

"Uh Stinger?" Said Bull.

"Yes, what is it?" I asked.

"There seems to be an unknown object heading... Right for us! Brace for impa-"

CRASH!

The Carrier fell, spiraling to the ground, as something, or someone, hit it. This couldnt have been any type of pony defense...

"Everyone! Get out!" I yelled to the young Bee-Jets. As all of them left, i followed. "Wait!" Yelled Bull. I looked back to see him trapped in the seat. "Help me!" He yelled. "Save yourself." I said, as i left the carrier. I flew up, and looked back at the Carrier, as it hit the ground, resulting in a hug explosion. There goes Bull. I looked at the other Bee-jets as they stared at Shane, and Razorclaw. Impossible! They couldnt have hit us! Our carrier was cloaked! Shane brought out his Shotgun, and shot some of the Bee-jets, killing them instantly, as Razorclaw sprayed his bullets toward the rest. The Bee-jets were not doing so good, i need to help them. I brought out my rifle, and aimed at Shane. I used my energy to make my shot accurate, and shot. The dart hit Shane right in the chest, just barely making a mark, but atleast it made him bleed. He looked up at me and tried too shoot me. I just used my pulse too stop the bullets in midair as it neared my face. Shane who looked suprised, then tried again, and again, and again. I then used my pulse to shoot all of those shots toward Shane, and most hit, its like rain, hehehe. Shane, now bleeding was weakened. Razorclaw, who tried defending, was doing pretty good. I will make sure he does not succeed. I flew down toward Razorclaw, and used my pulse punch too launch him yards away from Shane. Shane then brought out his minigun, and started spraying bullets everywere. I used my pulse as a shield, as the rest of the Bee-jets died. I am the last one alive. I used my gun, and shot Shane alot, with all of my magazine. Shane, now enraged, tried jumping up to hit me mid air, but i simply used my pulse to launch him as far as Razorclaw.

"Stop!" Yelled a voice. I turn around to see... It cant be...

"This place is friendly. What are you doing? They can teach us things, good things." Said Salem. Still looking like a metal Infected BFS cat, but Blue outlines and purple eyes. "Salem? Why are you here? We thought you died."

"Im no longer what you speak of. I was recreated, and my name is now Ocean." Said Ocean. What? How was he recreated? "Who recreated you?"

"John. He made me good. I am free willed. You can be too."

"Theres one problem with that." I said to Ocean. "What?" He asked.

"I. Love. Killing."

[Shane]

I layed on the ground, hopeless. I am weakened. I can barely move... Who was that? Was it... Stinger? No way...

"S-Shane..." Said Razorclaw. As i was on my stomach, i looked up to see Razorclaw. I sat up, and cleared my vision. I looked up, only to be shocked. "Shane, tell John... Tell him..." He said, as a large wooden object pierced his stomach. "Tell him, it was an h-honor serving with him... And you..." He said as his eyes shut. I heard no more gasping, only silence. No way... Not Razorclaw... Why did he have too die... Not now... I stood up, enraged to the fact that Stinger was probably responsible for his death. It shall not go unavenged... I grabbed my minigun, and walked toward the flying Bee-jet. I looked up, and saw him.

"STINGER!" I yelled. He turned around, and looked at me. "You... You deserve to DIE!" I said as i jumped up and shot my minigun, as i neared him. He was taken by surpise, as i tackled him, shot him, then as i landed back on the ground, pinned him. I stared at him with rage. He then looked scared. I raised my fist, and punched his face. "Thats for invading us!"

SLAM! "Thats for Rainbowdash!"

SLAM! "And that... Was for Razorclaw, you cold-blooded murdering motherf*cker!"

"Shane, Cool it!" A voice said, as someone pulled me off of him. I looked behind me to see John, as he then looked at Stinger. He bended down. "So, you think you can get away with killing one of my best men, and almost destroying this world?" He said, as he picked up Stinger.

"I dont think so." He said as he headbutted Stinger, to were he was knocked out. He then threw him on the ground and looked at me. He turned off his battle visor, and looked at me with a saddened face. "Razorclaw... Hes dead, isnt he?"

I nodded, still looking at Stinger. "He did tell me to tell you something before he died..."

"What?"

"That he was honored to serve with you." John looked away and put his hand on his chin. He sniffed for a second. "We need to gather everyone... A good Soldier needs a proper burial..." He said, with a voice as if he were about to cry. I know how it feels to lose a man. Razorclaw, why was it you that had to go...

"We need to bring Stinger to a secured area for containment, lets see if we can get info out of him." Said John.

"Will we kick his ass too?" I expected John to say no.

"Yes. And alot." He said.

[Hours later... At a sad hour...]

Everyone gathered around the grave, were Razorclaw now rested. Me, Shane, Poison, Ghostheart, Goldenfur, Rob, the Mane Six, DitzyDoo, Ocean, and Maliyk. It was raining, and cloudy, As we looked at the polished gravestone of Razorclaw.

-HERE LIES RAZORCLAW-

"IM PROUD TO SERVE WITH THE RBPA"

R.I.P

Everyone stared at the grave with sadness inside of them. Some more then others. Fluttershy, crying softly of the loss, while leaning on Poison, and Goldenfur.

"He was the best kind of partner you could have..." He said, while crying softly. "He treated me like a son. Better then anyone else ever did."

"He was always motivating..." I said.

"He always made me smile..." Said Shane, without smiling, wearing his new shades. Poison looked at the grave.

"He always had the muscle to fight." He said strongly. some of us were suprised he spoke, but not everyone. Either we already knew, or you know why he spoke now.

Later, some of us put down flowers as we all started heading home.

Me, Rarity, and DitzyDoo to Rarity's, Maliyk to Pinkies, Ghostheart to Applejacks, Shane to his house, Poison and Goldenfur to Fluttershys, and Rob and Ocean to Twilights.

[Poison]

As i sat on Fluttershys couch, i thought for a while. Razorclaw is dead. He was one of the best soldiers i have ever known. This is not good. This cant be happening...

"Im sorry for your loss..." Said Fluttershy, as she came up on the couch next to me. She sat right next to me as she leaned on me. It made me feel a little better. She knows how to make me feel alright.

"Its okay." I said. As i hugged Fluttershy. She didnt seem to mind me doing so. I felt so calm... Ever since the time i killed Black Widow, i have never felt this good. I smiled.

[Ocean]

I never knew the cat. Except for my past life. I never felt this feeling before... Sadness... Loss... Depression... Its all so overwhelming for me... I headed to the couch were Twilight was sitting. I was told it was okay for me to stay at Twilights. I jumped onto the couch next to Twilight.

"Loss is a hard thing to cope with, isnt it Ocean?"

"Yes... It is..." I said as i looked at Twilight. "Atleast all of you are still alive, i dont know if i can live without you all."

Twilight smiled as she looked over too the fireplace. "Your right... Maybe this can help me in my letter to the Princess."

[John]

I couldnt just believe what happened hours ago. Stinger and other Bee-jets attempted to invade Ponyville, but for what? But because of his actions, one good soldier, even a good friend, died in battle. I know that revenge is not something wise to choose, but i feel like doing so. This feeling is anger, and i rarely feel it. What sets me off?

I looked out the window from Raritys house, to see a dark night, with many stars in the sky. Im just happy that Razorclaw is now one of the stars, watching from above. I turned back, and walked over to the couch in the guest room. I sat down, and looked at my sword. Now isnt the time to mourn over a loss. Its a bit harsh in my opinion, but we have no choice. I sat up and put my sword on the desk, and sat down with it. I looked closely at the sword, to find any kind of refference to Equestria. Maybe some elements have the Celestial trace to improve my sword. I should ask Twilight about this tommorow.

Wait a moment... I realized that i was going to investigate something... What was it... Oh yeah, Zarkindos. A cult huh? Ive heard of alot of those. Now, to look them up. I used my sattelite to capture info on Zarkindos. Minutes later, a whole article appears in front of me.

"Zarkindos, there goal is to clean this place of rotten devil spawns... Reminds me of the RPA with other species... Started riots, and succeeded, thats new. Multiple counts of assault from Zarkindos, attempting to 'clean up' Hoofington. Known to be violent, threatning and has a history of plausable murders... Athourities have not tried to stop the cult, against religous laws... My ass."

I heard someone walk through the door, then stopped, behind me. "Woah, are you sure your not part unicorn?" Said DitzyDoo. I looked behind me to see DitzyDoo looking at the large holographic screen in front of me.

"I can assure you im not a unicorn." I said. DitzyDoo looked at the screen. She then looked at me with confusion. "What are you looking at these guys for?"

"Just wondering who they are and what they do. But before i do any of that, i need to see the princess to check on this sword. I need to check if its related to Celestia."

DitzyDoo tilted her head to one side.

I sighed. "I need to show the princess this sword. It could be magical"

"Ooooh! I get it now." She said. I turned off the hologram and picked up my sword. "I ever do wonder what makes it so special..." I said to no one in particular. I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see DitzyDoo Pointing at my gun. "That thing looks cool!"

"Thats nice of you." I respond.

"But i have a question."

"Sure."

"Whats it like to shoot one?"

"What do you mean?"

"Does it like, push you back, or really really loud?"

"If you have never handled a gun before, maybe it will push you back. But there always loud."

She looked at me for a moment and hesitated. "Can i try one?"

I thought. I have no weapon in my arsenal for her, but i do know a great starter gun. "Tommorow will be good. For now, we should get some sleep."

"Okay!" She said. She climbed into the bed, and then went under the blanket, then poked her head out. She looked over at the couch. "That couch looks very uncomfy."

I have to admit, she has a point. It is very hard, like a wooden bench. But whats her point?

"Why dont you just come in this bed?"

There it is.

"Um... Ok." I said. I deactivated my suit. DitzyDoo moved to the right side of the bed, making room for me. I just took off my shoes, and jacket, then climbed in bed. I pulled the covers over me, and DitzyDoo. I yawned then looked at DitzyDoo. "Goodnight." I said.

"Goodnight." She replied. I reached over for the lamp, and switched it off. Then i drifted into a deep sleep, taking all of my problems away.

[Shane]

I sat down at my table in my apartment, and put my hands to my head, with my elbows at the table. I couldnt believe this... First Cloudsdale, then Razorclaw... This is bullcrap. Why does every time i find something good, Claw comes around, and f*cks things up? This pisses me off! I sat up grabbed my chair, and threw it across the room. I walked to the sink, and turned the faucet on, and grabbed some water with my hands, and washed my face. I couldnt explain the anger swelling up inside me. Its just... Impossible...

Knock Knock!

I looked over to my door, noticing that someone is knocking on my door. I walked over to it, and noticed that hooves were what were knocking. I wonder who? I opened the door to see Rainbowdash. Im suprised. Why would she come here? "Hey..." She said. "Im sorry for your loss Shane."

"Thanks... But, what are you doing here?"

"I was just wondering if i could stay with you for a bit." She said. I thought. I really cant find a point why she really came, or why she wouldnt have, but i guess i have to say yes. To make friends you have to earn there trust. "Sure" I said. She walked inside and looked all around her, mouth slightly hanging open. "You live in a small apartment, but you make it look so cool!"

The interior was my favorite color: Red. I managed to buy some nice furniture and rent/bill money with the 2500 bits. The paint didnt cost much, but needs alot of effort. "I did it myself too."

"Thats so awesome!" She said. "But your kitchen area, could be about 20% cooler."

"I can see that." The kitchen area was... Still at its normal form when i got here. Its ok, but the improvement could be better. Later after some chatting with Rainbowdash, I heard more of a banging on my door instead of just knocking. "Gee i wonder who that could be."

"Who?"

"Well isnt it obvious? Its the police. They dont take kindly to the bounty hunters taking all of the credit for stopping criminals."

"Oh." She said, shaking. "Why so scared?" I asked.

"I dont like them. There strong, mean, and smart."

"Take that and compare it to me. Its diamond versus wood here. I already got these guys giving me a warning not too long ago."

Rainbowdash looked at me with pleading in her eyes. "Please dont hurt them too much."

"I wont. Unless things get hairy. You just go hide, or escape or something."

"Im staying." She said. "Best find a hiding spot" I said. I readied by the door. "Its show time."

[Rarity, Minutes later...]

I walked away from my work table, were alot of fabric pieces lie everywere. Thats enough work for a lady today! Time to get some beauty sleep. I walked up the stairs and to my bedroom. Before i can reach that though, i noticed from the cracked open door to the guest room. John want on the couch. Were was he? I slightly lifted my head to see John in the bed. DitzyDoo looks happy with John. Ever since i met that pegasus, i thought it would be hard for her to find friends of her own, but ended up with him. I guess anything is possible. And it looked like Ditzy was hugging him... Odd. Oh well, i need to get ready in the morning for my customers.

[The next day...]

I woke up from a terrorfying dream. I was with Claw again, doing bad things... Atleast im no longer one of them. Being reprogrammed to normal is very nice... I remember were i am now. I slept next to the fireplace. Im still very curious about this world, and i want to wonder. I might get lost, i should take Twilight with me. That sounds like a good idea. Twilight should be upstairs. I walked up the stairs to go find twilight. There she lay in bed sound asleep, a book next to her, must have been reading a bit to late. "Ngh..."

[Flashback...]

"That person is in bed Salem, he is a VIP in the RBPA, kill him"

[Back to Ocean...]

What i must have saw, probably woke up Twilight, because now she looked at me, awake. "Did you make that strange noise Ocean?"

"I think so... I just had a bad memory."

"What kind of memory?"

"When i saw you asleep, i had a flashback before John changed me. I was an assassin. I killed that man. Its all my fault..." I said, putting my head down. A few moment later, i felt something on my shoulder. I looked up, to see Twilight putting her hoof on my shoulder. "Dont worry about that. Now that you have a free will, you can start new."

"Thanks Twilight." I said. That made me feel a little bit better. I may be a monster... But i can still act like a living thing. "I want to go explore more of this town. So peaceful."

"Sure ok. Spike! Can you watch the library while im gone?"

"You got it Twilight!" A faint voice said. I heard a grumble. Twilight blushed a bit. "Im hungry. Wanna go to Sugarcube corner?"

"Ok." I said. This Sugarcube corner thing sounds friendly and welcoming.

[Sugarcube Corner]

I looked up to the tall building made of sweets. It looked nice. "Do we eat the building?"

"No silly! We go inside!" Said Twilight with an amused voice.

"Oh. So theres food inside?"

"Yes. The best Pinkie has to offer."

When i walked inside, there were pink walls, and pastries in the little glass windows. A pink pony, im guessing Pinkie pie, was serving sweets to local customers. So organized... Unlike with Claw, its just all savage... "Hello! I dont think we met yet! Im Pinkie pie! Whats yours?"

"Oh, im Ocean."

"Ocean? Thats a pretty name! I wish my name were Cotton Candy!"

"Oh Pinkie pie, your so random." Said Twilight.

"Lemme guess lemme guess why your here! You want to eat something dont you?"

"Yes."

"Well Ocean, we have alot of things to eat! I think youll love my cupcakes!"

"Whats a... Cup, cake?"

A large gasp came from Pinkie pie. "You have never seen a cupcake before?"

"I dont know what that is." I said.

Twilight looked at me. "A cupcake is like a cake, only alot smaller, and in a cylinder shape."

"Oh. I remember a picture of a cake during the war, before i had my choices."

"So you must be familiar with its taste!" Exclaimed Pinkie pie.

"Actually, through out my life so far, i have only eaten flesh of other organics."

This made Twilight and Pinkie flinch. "Is there a problem?" I asked. "Uh, eating other meats here, is considered cannibalism."

"Oh. Thats ok. Since im an AI i dont really need to eat. These organs under my plating are not really for eating. If i eat, i will just puke it out."

"But you said you have eaten meats before... Why?"

"Claw believed that if we eat protiens, well become stronger, since we still have muscles and organs."

"Isnt there another way for you to eat?" Asked Twilight. I looked at Twilight once more. I know who can help with this problem. "I do know a way." I said.

"What?" Asked Twilight.

"I can ask John to give me true organs. And maybe he can give us some suggestions."

"Thats a good idea!" Said Twilight. Me and Twilight were about to turn and leave, until Pinkie yelled out. "HEY! Arent you going to get something Twilight?"

"Oh yes, i would like the single slice of cherry pie."

[Later, meeting John at Raritys...]

"So you say you want to have more realistic organs?" John said.

"Yes, i really want to be a normal organic."

"I can do so. It can take around an hour or so. I do know someone who can do so instantly."

"Who?" Me and Twilight asked.

"Twilight." John said.

"Me?!" Twilight said, astonished.

"Yes. I know you know a spell to make, lets say a robot, eat, feel, and look normal."

"How do you know this information? The spell books can only be read by unicorns."

"I have read a story about how you did so. Anyways..." John looked at me. "Would you like to keep your current looks and be 'normal', or try the spell?"

Now to decide. Should i try the spell, and look like a normal cat, or take the operation and keep my current looks? I have always wanted to be a normal cat, but i like my new look... My ears perked up. I heared rumbling in the distance. "Do you guys... Hear that?"

"Hear what?" Asked John and Twilight, confused. "I hear, rumbling, i feel there anger, i can feel the heat of there stares... There after me."

"Who is?" Asked Twilight.

"Its..."

"Hey! Theres another one of those metal cats!" I turned around, to see a mob, of the town i thought had friendship. "Ocean, get back." John said. I walked behind John, by his word. That was alot of ponies... I hope he doesnt have to hurt them. One pony stood out. "Hey John! Why are you with that metal cat?! Dont you remember what they are?"

"Now everyone, this is not one of the others. This cats name is Ocean. Dont worry he is friendly, you can tell him apart, he is not green."

The ponies looked at eachother with confused expressions. John then looked at me. "You dont have to worry now." He said. I slowly walked out from behind him, and then slowly approached the ponies then sat down. They looked scared. Fear filled there eyes. There not convinced. I must prove myself. "Hello." I said. The ponies jumped a bit when i spoke in this tone. I guess they werent expecting such a happy 'Hello' from a former murderer. One pony came out. A green unicorn with amber eyes. Wait... This is the same pony that i was about to kill, before i got shot by John. "Werent you the same green terrifying cat?" She said as she slowly approached me. I looked at her. "Yes, im sorry if i scared you. But ever since i was reprogrammed, i can now use my free will."

"Soooo, your good now?"

"I guess so." The rest of the ponies seemed to look regretful, apologizing, and started parting ways. But the green unicorn was still standing there. "I must be going now." I said. I was walking away until the unicorn spoke again.

"Hey," I turned around. "You look pretty cool." She said, then started walking in her own direction. I walked back to John, with my own choice made.

"I would like to keep my current looks. You can preform the operation."

The loss is bad, i know.

Note: Salem is the former name of Ocean.

Be sure to leave a review!
