> First things first you need to locate the two large herds > A quick interview of locals confirms the two herds are moving in > One is located in the local park the other is on the opposite end of the neighborhood in an empty retention pond > The park has the 150 member herd > Eating gardens and receiving food from kids and dumb locals > They'll only grow through the upcoming spring > Not to mention that they are recruiting and accosting local pet fluffies > You'll need to attempt to recover the pets > Secondary objective though > The other fluffy herd is living in an empty retention pond a few blocks from the park > The pond is rich with plant life and the fluffies eat well > While a downpour would end them it hasn't and isn't projected to rain for weeks > Assessment team did well spotting these two > They would both probably break 500 fluffies given ideal conditions > It doesn't get much more ideal than yuppie suburbanites and their kids who feed them > And, if they meet and join they could break 1,250 fluffies > A megaherd > And, absolutely unacceptable   > Before you begin you inform the locals and police that you'll be using firearms > Don't want anyone getting caught in the fire > Even with a silencer it's still deafening > Police officer arrives to oversee proceedings > He blocks off the road near your RV and you climb onto the roof of the vehicle > Ready your weapon > Magazine loaded bolt readied you signal him > He gives the all clear > After a little scouting you know the smarty is a bright pink fluffy with a pink mane and horn > A bit odd for a fluffy stallion smarty, but whatever > "Smawty say sweepie noaw! Nuu fwuffy wakies duwwin big bwight! Too wawm fo fwuffies to pway an eat! Nappies till big bright go way." > Good advice, but it makes your job easier > The smarty is the last awake > Just as he's finishing his rounds and begins to return to the fluff pile you draw a bead > *Cccrack* the fluffies legs are torn to shreds > In an instant his body bounces against the ground and flies back > Back legs and most of the lower body missing > "eeEEEEEEE! FWUFFY HUWTIES BIIIIIG! BIIIG BIIIIIIIG HUWTIES! HEWP! FWIENDS HEWP SMAWTIE!" > Right on the money > He bounces away from the herd and they shit themselves with fear at the gunshot > Several scatter away with mares and foals > "WUN FAMIWY WUN! BIG SCAWY NOISE!" > The smarty is too busy screaming about the pain to effectively order his herd > Attendants are leaving dams, stallions leave mares, even some foals try to scamper away > Phase two, Chinese fire crackers > Light a string and throw into the herd > The shrinking and shitting pile is a good fifty feet away but it lands close enough > *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANG* > "EEEE BIG NOISE SCAWY! WUN WUN! HEWP FWUFFY MUMMAH! HEWP WOWW! NEE SISSY FO WOWW!" > Some dams are being rolled away others are left with the herd > Dozens scatter in family groups or alone > Most flee with eyes closed simply running blindly from the deafening explosions > You fire into the dams next your gunfire now masked by firecrackers > As a dam explodes from the round the shrill screams of the surviving terrified dams is even louder than the fireworks > "MUMMAH HUWTY! MUMMAH NEE HEWP! MUMMAH NUU HUWTIES PWEEASE HEWP! HEWP! HE-" > *Pop* > Slimy foals scatter as the nearby dam who witnessed her friend explode fluffsplodes herself > They chirp for help and wobble around but are drowned out in a cacophony of explosives > Not a single fluffy notices the wiggling babies at their feet > They are quickly suffocated by barely moving dams desperately attempting to scatter from the fray > The herd is down to less than half its original size > Looks like your secondary objective is achievable as well > Most of the remaining fluffies are cowering covering their ears and crying for help > Around 20 or so have collars on > You get down from the van, the herd successfully scattered > Smarty down, dams entering premature birth or fluffsploding, stallions and mares with their foals fleeing, and several fluffies trampled to death > This herd is dispersed > The officer looks on in awe > The whole affair took less than three minutes, three rounds of .308, and a few strings of fire crackers > You walk past him cap gun in hand > Loud but more to deter than hurt > Approaching the still screaming, shitting, pissing, and crying fray you open fire > *Pap* *Pap* *Pap* > Not nearly as loud as the fire crackers but it scares the already terrified fluffies even more > "NUUUU NUU MOWE EAW HUWTIES! I SOWWY! HEWP! HEWP!" > Each fluffie once again shits > How this is possible eludes you but it keeps the collared fluffies pinned to the ground > Ears covered by weggies and faces in the shit covered grass > Breaking out the Drake special, zip ties, you hog tie each fluffy and move them to the side > "EEEE! HEWP MUNSTA HAFF FWUFFY! NUU TAKE WEGGIES I SOWWY! I NUU WUN WAY! I GO HOME! I SOWWY! MISS MUMMAH! MISS DADDEH! HEWP! HEWP FWUFFY!" > 16 pets are recovered all crying and screaming on their backs about taken weggies > 3 unfortunately die of shock or fire cracker blasts you aren't sure > For how death prone these things are it's an acceptable number > The remaining thirty fluffies are the only remnants of the smarties herd left in sight > They cower hugging one another watching as you hogtie their "Nuu fwiends" > You fire another cap in their face and they too flee > In a group, but they're no threat anymore
