Unknown town

Jacobs let out a grunt of pain as the two Guards shoved the mercenary into a cell. The door sliding shut with an ear-grinding screech.

Western Human: You have a tough day ahead of you, boy. Our sheriff will be ere shortly. Oh and your friends are here with ya.

As the two guards left, Jacobs opens his eyes and got up off the floor. 'Jac' looks around and saw ponies with filled the cells around him, all wearing the confused, scared expression that they had after being caught and imprisoned. Some of them have horns, wings, some without horns and wings and some with different colors. Then he saw his teammates in another cell across from his. All three of them have their backs against the wall in a sitting position.

Dickson: Guys?

Lynch: (David look up and see Jacobs) 'Jac'? (David, Carlos and Alex move closer to the bars and started talking to Jacobs) I can't believe it. It's you.

Dickson: Yeah. I was trying to find you guys.

Martinez: So were we until we had to rescue these peo- *Sigh* (Muttering) (Can't believe I'm saying this.) Ponies. But things went…wrong.

Dickson: Yeah I can see that, but it's great to see you guys again.

Lynch: Yeah. You too.

Dickson: Where are we?

Lynch: We're in a town, but don't what kind of town we're in. We've tried asking the prisoners, but they don't want to talk to us. Don't know why.

Dickson: Figures.

Lynch: Yeah.

Dickson: (Jacobs suddenly remembers something out of his mind) Ah crap! I forgot!

Lynch: What?

Dickson: Have you guys seen a purple unicorn in a white dress, almost about my age?

Lynch: Well…no. Not really. Why?

Dickson: *Sigh* I'll explain later, but right now we need to find a way out of here, so we can find her.

Mason: Aw crap everyone quite. Someone's coming.

When everyone and everypony went quite, a man with two guard by his sides enters the jail room and came between Jacobs and his friends cells. The man is older possibly in his fifties. He is wearing a brown cowboy hat,

Sheriff: So…these are three young men who were free mah slaves? May ah ask…why? Why would you do such a terrible thing?

Mason: Ok are you ******* kidding me, old man? You're telling us that we're doing a horrible thing when you and your boys putting these anthropomorphic ponies into ******* slavery? Really? Really, old man?

Sheriff: Were ya'll born under a ******* rock, boys? Of course they should be in slavery. They're bunch of animals and we treat them like animals.

Martinez: That's ****** up, man.

Dickson: In matter of fact, where the **** are we?

Sheriff: You're in Appleloosa. In the land of Equestria ruled by us. Something you should be doing instead of freeing theses slaves.

Dickson: What happened to Twilight Sparkle?

Everyone and pony, including Jacobs's team looked right at Jacobs with a surprised and confused face for asking that question. Jacobs knew that the sheriff is keeping Twilight Sparkle hostage.

Sheriff: Small chuckle We'll that's none of your ******* business boy.

Dickson: Her safety makes it my business because what you are doing is wrong. This is messed up. This is what's going to happen. You let all of us out, including the slaves, give us back our gear and we'll leave with or without the slaves. You will free all these ponies. If you don't, you will die…and we'll still be free from here.

Jacobs was giving an 'I'm really going to kill you' look. Everypony in their cells stared at Dickson with a confused and surprised face.

Sheriff: Now you listen here, boy. I own these ponies. They're my property. I own them…Heart and Soul. You boys are going to be in here a long time and rot with these slaves.

The sheriff and his guards left the building. Dickson looked down with a depressing face but then he saw a key on the floor. One of the Western humans must have accidently dropped a key for the cells.

Dickson's thoughts: Man these guys are freaking stupid. Leaving a key on the floor. What kind of person would do that?

Dickson: (Jacobs's picks up the key and look toward his team across his cell.) Hey Guys. (Jacobs show them the key)

Martinez: Man these guys are really stupid.

Mason: Very stupid.

'Jac' freed himself from his cell and then freed his teammates. Jacobs thought about the other ponies in their cells and thought about freeing them. He couldn't just leave them here. His team would do the same because they were trying to save them.

Dickson: Alright let me free the ponies and we're out of here.

Lynch: Alright make it fa-

Before Lynch could finish his sentence, the team heard gunfire and western men yelling. Nobody and pony in the room knew what was going on.

Dickson: Sir?

Lynch: Just free everypony, find them somewhere safe from the gun fight and come find us!

Dickson: Yes sir.

After 'Dave', 'Lex' and 'Razor' left to find their gear and weapons, 'Jac' started freeing the ponies from their cell. Some were thankful and some didn't like a human freeing them.

Dickson: Alright everypony come with me! I'll get you to a safe area.

Male pony prisoner #1: And why should we listen to a human?

Dickson: Because this human is trying to save your lives. If you don't like it then you can stay here and possible die here.

Female pony prisoner #1: Just give him a chance, Braeburn. He's trying to get us out of here. Please. Didn't he just confronted the sheriff?

Braeburn: *Sigh* Fine.

Dickson: Alright lets go.

Jacobs was escorting the ponies to a safety. As they made it outside, they have seen multiple dead western men on the ground. Some of the ponies were a little frighten, but Jacobs and the ponies just kept moving. Jacobs grabbed a rifle off a dead body, before they left. Jacobs was taking point and on his sights of his rifle, scanning the area. They could still hear gunfire and screams, but still no signs of enemies. He believed that it's coming from the other side of town. But Jacobs was still being wary of any other dangers of the town. Dickson lead the ponies into a saloon, where they can hide from the gun fight. Everypony entered the saloon except for Jacobs. He had to meet up with his teammates and try to find Twilight.

Dickson: Stay here and keep quiet. We'll come get you when it's all over.

Jacobs ran to the other side of town to find his team. When he found his team, he see them aiming their weapons at seven ponies and they were doing the same. There's one with orange fur, yellow mane, wearing an old brown hat, wearing a red handkerchief mask covering her mouth, a brown coat and a red shirt, blue jeans and cowboy boots and carrying two revolvers pointing at Lynch. She is possibly the leader of the group. And one with Pale, light grayish raspberry fur and Brilliant raspberry straight long noodle hair style. She is wearing a brown coat, black bra, blue jeans and black boots. She is carrying a rifle which she is aiming it at Mason. She is possibly second in command. Jacobs's teammates are finally wearing their body armor and have their weapons with them and Martinez is holding Jacobs gear and weapons with him. They were yelling and cussing at each other.

Orange female pony: Ah ain't gonna say it again!

Martinez: Hey how about you back off or we'll open fire on you! We just got of jail and we're not going back!

Pink female pony: It's four of us and three of you humans! Now drop those…fancy new weapons now!

Lynch: Look we're not causing any problems! Just let us do our job and we'll leave.

Blue male Pegasus: So you'll bring more of your kind here to kill us? (Blue Pegasus pumps his shotgun) **** you!

Martinez: **** us?! **** you, mother******!

Jacobs didn't know what to do and just standing there, trying to figure out what to do. Then he heard something calling him in his head. I was a female voice. Softer and much motherly.

Voice in Dickson's head: Jacobs.

Dickson's thoughts: Who is this calling me in my head?

Voice in Dickson's head: That is not important right now. What's important is that you must stop your team and the rebels from killing each other. The orange pony is Applejack. She is Twilight's friend and the cousin of Braeburn, including the pink one Pinkie Pie. You must tell them that you are not their enemy. Tell them that you were trying to help save Twilight. Please hurry.

Jacobs came back to reality and started ending the argument between his teammates and the rebels.

Pinkie Pie: We will shoot you!

Dickson: No wait! (Dickson have everyone's and ponies' attention) Just wait! Look we're not here looking for trouble!

Martinez: 'Jac' we got your gear!

Lynch: 'Jac' are the prisoners safe?!

Applejack: Prisoners?

Dickson: Yes I freed the other ponies from their cells and escorted them to a saloon where they can be safe. Your cousin is safe too, Applejack.

The pony rebels were shock, especially Applejack when she heard her name and her cousin, Braeburn came out of Jacobs's mouth. Jacobs's team were confused of how Jacobs know those names. They think he may be hiding something.

Dickson: Yes. Your cousin is safe, Applejack. We don't have time to talk about this. Right now we need to work together and help save Twilight. Please. We're not your enemy. We're not.

(Music starts ( watch?v=nmF-bJmyU2Y) Sabotage Soundtrack-Gunfight)

The rebels were thinking about what Jacobs said. They were very confused of why they should believe them. A few moments later, Bullets started flying everywhere and they had to take cover. It was the sheriff and his men firing at the rebels and the mercenaries. There were thirteen of them including the sheriff. Three ponies were shot dead, including the blue Pegasus before they could take cover. Dickson ran to cover to his teammate and threw his shotgun away.

Dickson: My gear! I need my gear!

'Razor' gave 'Jac' his gear. Quickly then got out from cover and opened fire at the western humans with his shotgun, but his weapon is only for close range so it's hard for him to get a kill.

Lynch: 'Jac' ready up! We'll cover you!

Lynch, Mason and Martinez got out from cover and laid down some suppressing fire! The rebels were also doing the same thing. The rebels except for Applejack and Pinkie Pie were having problem with their aim. Dickson manage to be in full gear and opened fire on the western humans. Applejack manage to shoot a western human in the head and killed him and then went back to cover to avoid the bullets.

Western human: Surrender…or I'll put a bullet into er head!

Dickson saw the man holding Twilight. The man was wide out of the open holding Twilight as hostage. He got out from cover and fired one shot at the man. The man, holding Twilight had his head shot up by Dickson. Blood was splattering into Twilight's fur and dress. The adrenaline pumping through her veins.

Dickson: Twilight get to cover now! (Jacobs turns to Martinez) 'Razor' cover her!

Martinez pumped his shotgun again, and shot at another man, catching him in the chest. Twilight ran into cover between the gunfight. She was keeping her head down and covering her ears from the loudness of the guns and her eyes closed. The mercenaries and the four rebels had to take into account that Twilight was still in the crossfire, so their aim had to be critical. Martinez pumped his shotgun again, waiting for a gap in the gunfire, and when it came, Martinez jumped out of cover and blasted right through the mannequin. The man behind it fell to the floor, but he couldn't tell if he was dead or not as he hid behind cover again.

Dickson: 'Razor' you got him?!

Martinez: Not sure!

Dickson: (Muttering) (Shoot. I need to get Twilight out of there.)

Martinez slid back into cover as well, hearing revolvers and rifles discharge and bullets impact around my position. 'Dave' took a quick glance to see where they hid and jumped back just when a bullet whizzed by his head. One of them was behind a stage, another took cover at a wooden crate by the door, and the last one was hiding behind a mannequin in the shape of a pony. The mannequin confused him greatly, but he shook it off. A hail of gunfire came at me, although there was less of it. Lynch counted the number of shots he'd taken while him, his team and four pony rebels waited for an opportunity. Lynch fired some rounds, which meant he had seven left before I had to reload. With only two hostiles left to take care of, he knew him and his could release a few pot shots to keep them away from my cover. Martinez stuck his shotgun out of cover, and shot two shells. The gun nearly flew out of his hands, but he kept a firm grip on it. Martinez only have Three left in the chamber. They couldn't stay in hiding forever, and it would be far easier to take them out if they had the element of surprise like where this fight started. But that wasn't an option. Suddenly, the gunfire ceased - just stopped altogether. They would've popped out and took fire, but something felt off about this break.

Sheriff: Just give up now, boys! We have you and your rebels outnumbered!

Martinez: Maybe, but we have you outgunned! So **** off!

Sheriff: Surrender, boys! Those guns of yours can only last so long! It's eleven of us left. We're all humans ya know! We can let you guys go and we'll keep the ponies as slaves!

Lynch: Small chuckle You've underestimate us, Sheriff!

Applejack: Well…ya'll humans got a plan?

Lynch: Of course I do. (David turns to Carlos) *Hand signs* *Carlos, flash.* (David then turns to Alex and Jacobs.) *Hand signs* *Jacobs and Alex clear them out.*

Carlos pulled out a flash grenade. He pulled the pin and threw it at the humans. When the grenade went off and all of the humans were blinded, 'Lex' and 'Jac' jumped out from cover, their guns pointed at the blinded men are in an opened area. They both opened fire and killing the remaining enemies. Their mind were in slow motion. The rebels were watching the two mercenaries killing off the western humans one-by-one. They couldn't believe of what they are doing. When 'Jac' saw the last western human, which is the sheriff, without no hesitation, Jacobs shot him in the chest multiple times, knocking him back. Dickson tactically move towards the sheriff with his M4 still aiming towards the direction where he shot the sheriff. He walked over and saw the sheriff, laying on the floor with his chest covered with blood. He gave one glance at 'Jac'.

Sheriff: *Hard cough* W-W-Who are you?! *Hard cough* Who the **** are you?!

Dickson: You're Reaper.

Jacobs fired two shot at the sheriff and killed him. He walks away from the dead body and ran towards Twilight. She was sweating a lot breathing hard and was shedding a lot of tears in her eyes. Jacobs was calmly trying to make her calm down and telling her that it is over.

Dickson: Princess. Princess Twilight. (Jacobs caught Twilight's attention) It's over, Twilight. It's over.

Twilight began to shed tears out of her eyes and then wrapped her arms around Jacobs.

Twilight Sparkle: *Sniff* You saved my life...Thank you.

Jacobs was shocked because he have never had a hug like this since before his parents died. Jacobs felt a happiness inside him. Dickson returned the hug, wrapping his arms around her.

Dickson: You're welcome…You're safe now, Twilight...you're safe now.
