"i dont really have a clue how much gold we have here" GoldDigger replied "the way I've always done it is dig unto theres no more gold to be had in the area than i pack my bags pick everything up and move else where" he added. "Sure!" GoldDigger replied to con mane handing him a nugget. "Those machines over there" Gold pointed out a long channel which resembled a washboard sitting on a angle on stilts. "It uses the same processes as i just showed but in a different way" GoldDigger said. "it uses water to extract the gold... to make it work all we got to do is get the steam engine working and it will start pumping water through those channels... once that's going all we got do is shovel the dirt into the screen above it... and the water will carry the gold and dirt down the channels until it reaches the washboard like part which will create standing water in the indents and the gold being heavier than dirt will drop out of the current and into the indents in the washboard part and the dirt will continue with the water. Then at the end of the day we just got to shut the water off and clean it all out" GoldDigger explained

"I guess what they say is actually true...... Where ever i go trouble is soon to follow..." NightsWatch sighed as he looked out apon the horizon before hanging his head in sadness, he was troubled as to why many hated him

"Dont even recognize the name" NightsWatch calmly said not even looking back

NightsWatch let go shoving the pony off he turned and casually took a couple of steps away staring at the town "well so much for a peaceful day..." he sighed

"Why does this....pony you ask of concern you ?" NightsWatch asked in a serious tone

Welcome to Canterlot !

NightsWatch walked over and pulled the pony off the robot pony

NightsWatch heard the crack and immediately turned looking at the pony

NightsWatch gathered up his armored robe and put it back on flipping his hood back over his head he grabbed both swords and place them back into there slings "Well if this situation is wrapping up i guess i should be off-" he started to say

NightsWatch walked over to the robes that he had previously threw off grabbing his whole bag of gold bits and tossing them in-front of the pony "This should help" he said

"Ending other ponies to get paid a few bits is no life" NightsWatch said letting loose of the pony and taking a few steps back. "Ya make more bits and get more respect giving somepony a honest days work and using it constructively instead of destructively " he added

"I am-" He abruptly grabbed the pony's hoof that he had the sword in then wrapping his other hoof around the pony's neck and using his hind leg to kick the pony off his hooves "The one you souldnt have messed with" He said sternly looking directly at the pony

".....But yet you where obviously sent out here to finish me off" NightsWatch chuckled as he pushed the sword aside deploying the hidden blades that where concealed behind his front hooves "if this is how you want to play the game... so be it" he said

NightsWatch tossed his swords away from him and took off his armored robes and tossed them to the side "I am here... what are you waiting for!?" he said tempting the pony

Welcome to Canterlot !

"We can now" GoldDigger replied as he trotted over to a desk and grabbed a gold pan in his mouth as the group followed him out. He walked over to a place next to a bend in the river "before we actually get to work im just gona show ya'll what were dealing with here" he said scooping a pile of dirt into the pan and then picking the pan up and walking to the rivers banks. GoldDigger held the pan at an angle in his mouth and dipped it in and out of the river the water pulling the dirt out, soon only a black soot was left. He then gave the pan a little shake and the black soot spread out on the bottom of the pan and little yellow specks glistened all about. "All we got to do is dig where i got the dirt for this and run it through our machines!" GoldDigger said sitting the pan down in front of the group

NightsWatch pulled out two swords holding one in each hoof "so you've been hired huh?" NightsWatch said

"State your intent !?" NightsWatch said as the pony approached

"yeh" replied NightsWatch turning noticing the pony in the alleyway "wonder why he keeps lookin at me and that scroll like that?" he said outloud "i really don't like the feeling im getting about this" he said resting his hoof on the handle of his sword

"Well half of the ponies are to scared of me to come any where near me and the other half usually approach me pulling a weapon on me......and then there's the rare ones like you two and Sapphire" NightsWatch explained "as me being a warrior and expertly trained and not apart of any army most think I'm a 'bad pony' (bad guy) and only want rid of me and there's the one that want to claim the reward and prize of defeating me" NightsWatch sighed

"....If i had a gold bit for every time somepony said that to me" NightsWatch chuckled in response to the gold one ".... Its good to make friends for once" he said "usually half of the only ponies that approach me are my enemy" NightsWatch laughed

"So what brings you to us ?" NightsWatch asked curiously shaking their hooves
