"She makes potions and stuff, it's where she gets all of her stuff so she lives here." Apple Bloom explains.
"No' a bad reason ta live 'ere I guess." Chav thinks out loud.
A deep growl rumbles from a bush to the side of the pair.
"Timberwolf!" Apple Bloom squeaks as she hides behind Chavs legs.
"Where the hell is your back half? Did i' jus' dissapear or somethin? There's no way you're small enough ta hide behind one of ma legs like tha'." Chav asks as he looks between his legs at Apple Bloom.
"It's right here, see?" Apple Bloom says as her rear end peaks peeks around the back of Chav's leg.
"I'm no' even gonna ask. Righ, I haven' had a figh' with a dog in a while. Le's ge' this over an' done with." Chav says as he gives the shotgun to Apple Bloom.
"What are you doing?" Apple Bloom asks.
"I'm gonna bea' tha' dog's ass with ma bare hands." Chav answers with a smirk.
"You really don't want to do that." Apple Bloom squeaks.
"I's fine, jus' leave i' ta me." Chav answers as he stretchs the muscles in his arm.
The timberwolf in the bush slowly steps out.
"I's a dog made of wood?" Chav asks.
"Yeah, a timberwolf." Apple Bloom says, emphasising the timber in timberwolf.
"I didn' know ya mean' a literal wolf made of timber." Chav says with a shrug.
The wolf then jumps at Chav and bites into his arm.
"I' maybe made of wood bu' i's bites still don' 'urt." Chav chuckles.
"Doesn't hurt?! It's biting you!" Apple Bloom shouts in panic.
"I 'ave a dog back home, i' attacks me all the time, I'm used ta dog bites." Chav laughs.
"You should still be in pain!" Apple Bloom points out.
"Ah well." Chav says as he pets the wolfs head.
The wolf lets go of Chavs hand and starts to lick it.
"What's happening?" Apple Bloom asks.
"I have no fuckin' idea." Chav chuckles.
The wolf sits in front of Chav and starts to wag its tail.
"Why is it being so friendly?" Apple Bloom asks.
"No idea, let's jus' ge' ou' of here." Chav answers as he leads Apple Bloom away from the wolf.
The timberwolf follows the pair, happily wagging its tail.
"It's following us." Apple Bloom says as she walks ahead of Chav.
"Yep." Chav replies.
The timberwolf starts to walk alongside of Chav, it's tongue lolling out of it's mouth.
"What did you do to it?" Apple Bloom asks.
"No idea, i's on our side apparently so I'm no' abou' ta complain." Chav answers as he pets the Timberwolf. "I can tell i's making you uncomfortable. You wanna sit on my shoulders so he can't reach you?" Chav asks.
"Yes, please." Apple Bloom answers nervously.
Chav then picks up Apple Bloom and puts her on his shoulders.
"Thank you." Apple Bloom says happily. "Why are you being so kind to me Chav?"
"I'm being kind ta ya 'coz I miss ma nephews and niece. I guess ya could say i's the uncle inside of me tha' makes me want ta protect ya." Chav explains.
"Chav?" Apple Bloom asks.
"Yeah?" Chav asks back.
"Can I call you 'uncle Chav'?" Apple Bloom asks.
"Jeez, you guys are real quick ta be all friendly." Chav chuckles. "Sure, ya can call me 'uncle Chav'." Chav smirks.
"After the whole Zecora insident everyone is more welcoming and kinder. I'm just trying to help you feel a bit more at home." Apple Bloom explains.
"Sounds intresting, you can tell me abou' i' later." Chav says happily.
"I'll make sure to remember to tell you it." Apple Bloom says with a smile.
"So, what are you and Chav doing here?" Celestia asks as she takes a sip of her cup of tea.
"Someone is meant to be paying us to see what's on the otherside of the portal we entered through, turns out that the portal wasn't a big fan of us and closed itself behind us." Star explains.
"Is that why you where driving those metal things?" Celestia asks.
"Kind of. We're tank mercenaries. People pay us to do jobs, we arrive in our tanks, do what they ask then collect our pay." Star explains.
"What if we were to offer you a job? We could pay you and you would become heroes." Celestia offers.
"Then we'd have to accept of course." Star answers.
"There's a villain we need subdued. Can you do it?" Celestia asks.
"Dead or alive?" Star asks.
"Dead? Why would you ever kill somepony?" Celestia asks.
"We'll try to subdue them. If it comes to it you have to understand that we will have to kill them." Star explains.
"Yeah... Avoid that as much as possible. I will understand if you have to but please try your hardest to get them here alive." Celestia sighs sadly.
Star reaches over and pats Celestia on the shoulder.
"I promise that we'll do whatever we can to get them here alive." Star says confidently.
"B1,000,000 if you bring them back alive, B500,000 if you have to kill them." Celestia offers.
"Include a large hidden secret base and you have a deal." Star says as he holds his hand out.
"Deal." Celestia smiles as she shakes Stars hand.
"Looks like we just have to wait for Chav." Star sighs.
=============== 2 hours later ==============
"This tank is a lot more cramped with the wolf in here." Chav groans as Apple Bloom drives back to the orchard.
The tank comes to a stop and the trio climb out of the tank.
"Come on! Let's tell AppleJack the great news." Apple Bloom says excitedly as she sprints towards the farmhouse.
Chav runs after Apple Bloom followed closely by the timberwolf. Apple Bloom then bursts into the house shouting excitedly. Chav and the wolf then slow down to a walk and follow her inside.
"What do you mean Uncle Chav has to go?" Apple Bloom asks.
"Uncle Chav? Why are you calling him that?" AppleJack asks.
"Doesn't matter, why does he have to go?" Apple Bloom asks.
"They're going to be helping deal with the Hydra in the forest. It's been coming out of the forest and chasing ponies. It's become a huge problem." AppleJack explains.
"A Hydra?" Chav asks as he enters the room.
