The Sun was set, and the next morning, the group held Rainbow Dash's funeral. It was a long precession, led by Scout, Medic, and Twilight Sparkle, who was the purple pony at the trap that day, she was the leader of something called the 'elements of harmony,' and one of Rainbow Dash's closest friends.
When they reached her grave, seven cannons rolled up, and fired, each three times. Scout had insisted on a Twenty-One Gun Salute for her.
Head Hunter had snagged his Original hat, named 'Hitman's Hood' and painted dark blue with 'balaclavas are forever,' off her body soon after her death. Now, as everyone paid their last respects, he laid the new Anger on her grave, on top of Scouts item, a Scattergun renamed 'Rainbow Gun.'
Head Hunter wandered around the palace for awhile, until he found Scout, alone on a balcony. When the marksman walked up, Scout scowled at him.
"Any words of advice now, man?" He muttered scornfully.
"Sometimes, words are just words. I can imagine how you must feel, so I am not going to." He brought out a small medal from his pocket. It was Scout's medal, which we had dropped in the trap. After a few uninspiring words, Head Hunter left Scout to grieve on his own...
An uneventful day of morning past.
The next day, Head Hunter was inspecting his rifle, his favorite calming act. Outside his door, he heard a loud thud, so he rushed to see what happened. He looked out the door to find that Zaveron, the man in strange red armor, had slipped on something, and crashed into the wall that separate Head Hunter's room from the hallway.
Zaveron awkwardly looked up at the sniper, who, with eyebrows raised, could not decide if mocking him would be a wise choice. After all, Zaveron had an imposing figure, when he wasn't on the ground of course.
"Um..." Head Hunter offered him a hand to help him up. "Uh, I don't believe we have met? Head Hunter Sniper, at your service."
"Zaveron, former Spartan. Uh, do me a favor, don't tell anyone about what just happened, okay?" Replied the armored man, sheepishly.
Head Hunter laughed. "Of course not mate, but it would be hard to make them not question that dent!"
"Ugh, I came down here to tell you that Garvel has called a meeting, and we should go to the throne room." Zaveron said, already starting down the hall.
When Head Hunter and Zaveron made it to the throne room, the Harmonic Warriors, which were Garvel, Pyro, Steve, Engi, Medic, and Scout, who was not present at the time, where alreadu gathered there. The Bominomicon sat upright on a small table. Garvel stood in the middle of the room, unsure as to what do to.
"I guess we will wait until the royals return?" Garvel said, shrugging.
Medic look confused. "Vhere are mz Tvilight and mz Green shock?"
Bombinomicon said: "They are in one of the room upstairs." Like anytime he talks when he is not amused, he spoke as if he didn't care about them.
"This must be very hard foh them." Said Engineer.
Both Head Hunter and Engi could see that something was troubling the doctor, but only Engineer spoke up. "Anything wrong doc?"
"Nah my freund, but this yezheday…" Said Medic as he shook his head a bit. After Engineer nodded, and Medic stood up and walked away to find Scout.
Head Hunter left the meeting soon after that. As he walked back to his room, he suddenly felt something in his hand. He looked down at it, but there was nothing wrong with it. When he got back to his room, he realized that something was mentally trying to pull him south. For the time, however, he pushed it aside and got back to the task at hand...
Alright everyone, this should be the last short chapter for a while. In other news, I am trying to dare how much I can fit in the next chapter without it feeling like it is dragging on. If I can, I will start me own story (as in leaveDarkmarbles part of the story, and get into the dark path of the Head Hunter. I say dark because, not to spoil anything, but what Head Hunter will do in Equistra, well... Lets just say it will be fun for me, pay well for the Head Hunter, and will make him live up to his name... Note that it will certainly not become a horror story though!
Oh, and if you guys where wondering, hTA the worst Autocorrect EVER! I wrote this authors note at the site, and it did such things as changing 'story' to 'sort onyx,' and 'and will' to 'anchange.' oh, and 'gezz' to 'FFDIC,' leg ziz,' and 'fezzes!'
