Though Head Hunter searched for sometime, he could not find Engineer he wanted to talk to. He walked the last balcony that he had yet to check when he found The grey man and Medic talking.
"Hello mates. Have you guys seen Engi? I need to talk to him." He said as he walked up.
Medic thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I haven't seen him since yesterday mine friend."
"He must be down by the main gate, looking for good places to put sentries," said the grey man.
Head Hunter looked at him for a moment, then held out his hand. "Excuse me, mate, but I don't think we have been properly introduced. I am the Head Hunter Sniper."
The Man grabbed the sniper's hand and shook it. "Garvel. And if you're curious about my race, I'm a dark elf from Skyrim."
Grey Elf? Skyrim? This place gets weirder and weirder. although, he probably isn't native here, either. "Good to meet you mate."
Garvel nodded. "Good to meet you too. Now, what did you want to talk to Engi about? Tell me as we walk to meet him."
The three proceeded to walk down the steps to get to the gate, and along the way, Head Hunter gave his allies a quick summary of his conversation with Scout.
He had just finished when they got to Engineer, who was sitting up on the Wall.
"What can I do for you partners?" He shouted as he carefully climbed down.
Sniper simply said, "I need you to build a trap to capture a sound-barrier-braking-hood-stealing-corrupted Pegasus."
Engi look confused, but half nodded. "Any more information for me would be welcomed...?"
This time Garvel spoke up. "According to what our new friend and Scout said: She is head strong and doesn't back down from a challenge."
Engineer seemed surprised, and almost scared. "She is heading this way?"
The Sniper looked out into the planes of the Chrystal empire. "Not yet." But I can't wait 'till she is...
The Medic stepped forward and faced the Head Hunter. "Are you sure zis iz a good idea mine friend?"
The Sniper laughed. "Good idea? Not by a long shot. But we have to do it before she destroys something important. And she has my hat!" I want... No, I NEED my hat back!
Suddenly local Prince, who's name was 'Shinning Armor,' appeared behind them. "Hey everyone, I would like to have a word with Garvel if I'm not bothering you."
"No, of course not, but is it personal?" Asked Garvel as they walked a couple of feet away for privacy. For some reason, Medic followed them.
Head Hunter couldn't understand all that they were saying, as they talked in slightly hushed tones. But from what he could hear, a neighboring country's ruler, Celestria, was acting unusually, and the 'Grey Elf' Garvel was going to be the temporary ruler.
"Wait!" Garvel shouted at the now departing monarch. "Will there be a ceremony of some sorts?"
Prince Armor... Prince Shining?.. Shining Armor replied: "We are going to say that you're a friend of Cadence and that you only stay here until we come back."
Hesitantly but Garvel nodded let Shining Armor to leave.
A moment pasted, then Engineer asked: "So, doc, can you help me with that thing? Ya 'now, just like in the "old" times!"
Medic smiled and with that they left to find a place to work at.
Head Hunter suddenly wondered if he should have asked Scour about the... Terms of his break up with ms. Rainbow Dash. He decided that it could wait. He turned to Garvel, who seemed to be deep in thought.
"Is everything alright?" Asked Sniper.
"Yes, but I there is much work to do as a ruler. Once one of my friends told me what he had to do to be a good ruler, and it was a lot of things indeed, I think I'm going to go to the throne room, maybe there I can get some information." Said Garvel and he left leaving the sniper.
Head Hunter walked over to the item dispenser. Earlier that day, he had sent a message to his team, asking then if they could get their hands on a certain misc, called the 'Stone Songbird.' He felt that he needed someone to keep him company who DIDN'T talk, and the songbird seemed like a better choice than a new RoBro 9000.
He checked his messages, to find that his Pyro Friend, the Ironic Pyro, had found someone who could supply the misc, but they where still in the haggling phase.
Head Hunter Sighed as he remembered when he first met his friend...
At the time, the Head Hunter Sniper wasn't called the Head Hunter Sniper. People called him Tyson, because that was his name. He was just hired on a night guard job in the small city of Bettendorf, Iowa. He wasn't sure why he was needed, after all, it was a small, peaceful community, and had little crime. It was actually part of a four city group, simply known as the 'Quad Cities.' And yet here he was, sitting in a small store, with a man he met only an hour ago.
"So, Kyle, why do you think we are out here anyways?" Asked Tyson, who was leaning back in the Manager's chair.
"I don't know. Seems peaceful enough. On the way here, I asked for directions, and I ended up talking about cats." 'Kyle said.
Tyson was about to speak again when an alarm went off. He jumped out of his chair, but was hit in the face by a piece of wood that was thrown at him. Next thing he knew, he was being held at gunpoint while the group of bandits torched the place with Molotov Cocktails.
Bad became worse, however, when one of the fire bombs went in the wrong direction and hit Kyle straight in the face. The bandits scrambled out the door, but Tyson froze. If he could have heard the clock, he would have heard 5 ticks of the second hand before he ran for the fire extinguisher. He could not reach it while the bandits where inside, but now he could use it to put Kyle's flaming body out. He then dragged Kyle outside. By that time, the Fire Department and EMTs had arrived.
Kyle survived that day, but what Tyson saw haunted him for a long time. He had just finished a job in Portland Oregon she he got a call from Kyle.
"You doing alright Kyle?" Tyson asked.
"Yes, and I found a job. A good one. It pays better than any job you have ever seen, and it is a long term contract. But you will need two things before you get here. One: Rifle training." Said Kyle over the phone.
After an short pause, Tyson replied, "and? What is the other thing?"
"You will need a new name. I am no longer 'Kyle who was burnt in a robbery.' Now I am the Ironic Pyro." Ironic Pyro finished. He the. Supplied Tyson with a sign-up address. "My team needs a Sniper."
"No, your Team needs a Head Hunter. That is a job I will take." Finished the Head Hunter Sniper...
