The Brotherhood of Equestria

Chapter 9, Part 1 (Bonus)

“So what does this thing do?” Connor asks the stallion next to him as he looks over the gauntlet on his left arm that's been equipped with a new invention. But it just looks like a black box has been placed in a spot that's right behind a hidden blade, if there was one on this gauntlet.

“It shoots a magical energy string that will stick to, almost, any surface.”

“And how am I suppose to use this thing?”

“Hit the button.” He says plainly.

Connor just shrugs his shoulders before pressing a red button that required some force.

Three loud clunks came from it as a metal bar unfolds from the box, down to his hand, a sharp pain in his middle finger follows.

Naturally, he throws his hand around in an attempt to get whatever that caused the pain off him.

“Careful of that. It's quick when it unfolds.” He has a smirk on his face as he talks.

Connors has known the stallion long enough to know the late warning was on purpose. It hasn't been the first time Connor hurt himself using one of the stallion's new inventions, which he finds amusement in, each time Connor gets hurt.

Connor doesn’t pay him any mind as he looks over the metal box that has unfolded into a pistol shaped device with two triggers. A metal bar that folds at two points connects the pistol and box together.

“The first trigger fires the string, the second makes it retract, and letting go of both triggers will cause the string to disappear. It has only one shot and will need to be reloaded with one of these.” His horn has a navy blue color aura form around it and a box is placed on the table with the same aura around it.

Connor opens the box to see six small cylinders with a blue crystal inside each.

“Screw them into the front of the barrel.”

“So why create something like this?” Connor ask as he loads the device.

“A tool for earth ponies to extend their reach. This is still a prototype, but that one has been modified to be used in combat.”

“Lets test that.” Connor smirked as he aims the device at the most convenient targets found in Equestria, a red apple.

He pulls the first trigger and a navy blue string is shot out and it connects with the target, he quickly clicks the second trigger and the apple is pulled straight at him.

Before it hits him, he let goes of both triggers and the string disappears, he catches the apple with his right hand before it pelted him.

“Looks like it works well, Steel Dust.” Connor says and shows the apple to the stallion, who uses his magic to pick it up as he looks it over.

“Looks like I solved the problem with the string catching things on fire.” He says and sets the apple on the table.

Connor unscrews the used ammo and tries to fold the device back up. But this simple task proves a little more challenging than he thought, as he finds himself having to put a lot of force into it before getting the last click. “You need to loosen the springs so it can be folded back up easily.”

Steel Dust rubs his chain and hums.

“Lets run another test, shall we.” Connor has a smirk form on his face as he unfolds it and loads another shot.

Now he takes aim at his new target. Alice, who is walking by while talking to Magenta.

He fires and the moment the string hits Alice's leg, she yelps. Connor quickly pulls the second trigger and it pulls her of her feet. He lets go of both triggers before she would get dragged though, now trying his hardest to fold the device up as fast as possible, all the while as Steel Dust laughs his horn off.

With the device folded up, he looks up to see a white and red blur before being tackled to the ground.

Connor is now flat on his back with Alice sitting on his chest with her hoofs pinning down his shoulders. A large smile on her face from the accomplishment of pinning the human to the ground.

Steel Dust's laughter gets louder and Magenta has trouble holding her laughter as she walks over to the group.

“Looks like your invention works well Steel Dust.” Connor looks to him and he just nods, his laughter preventing his ability to talk. He joins in the laughter of his three friends.

Author's Note:

This chapter was an idea that popped into my head one night, so I though about making a bonus chapter.

**** I think I just did!

No, that wasn't my intention. I just thought of a cool gadget and decided to give it to Connor. Think of it more as a grappling hook then a web shooter. Which the grappling hook idea was my intentions.

Sorry, I did NOT mean to do that!

Probably the reason I like the gadget so much was because I like Spiderman.

Connor: How do I shot web?

3759191 You're whining about fucking historical accuracy in a crossover fanfiction in which an super-deadly hooded and robed assassin (who is part of a super secret brotherhood fighting a long-term super secret war that turns out to be not so very super secret) ends up in a magical wonderland of talking animated ponies (including unicorns and pegasi) who solve all their problems with friendship and love? Seriously? If you're worried about breaking immersion, get your priorities right and question things like "How are they speaking the same language?" or better still "How is any of this scientifically possible because realistically magic doesn't exist outside of fiction? (neither do intelligent talking pastel ponies)" OR HOW ABOUT "WHY AM I SO BOTHERED ABOUT A SINGLE HISTORICAL ERROR WHEN THERE'S SO MUCH ELSE GOING ON?".

You ever heard of suspending disbelief? It's what we do to enjoy fiction, try it sometime.

3315599 Yeah, I did it this year, spent hours climbing up window-ledges because so many fucking tourists wanted to take pictures of me perched on ledges.

3156302 Good lord man, that's the single longest sentence I have ever read.

[War-Mercer]

3155121 I find it hard to believe that you are part of a secret assassin brotherhood, considering that any self-respecting secret organisation wouldn't recruit members who go around online saying "I one of them".

[Shadow Faith]

Fak! Another story down...battery is running low! I REQUIRE LE ASSISTANCE!

[Discordofchaos]

So is this story cancelled?
