Stop here, said Frank, we'll rest here for the night. I'm tired said Pinkie Pie, and then immediately fell over asleep. Frank took some sticks from the ground and placed them on a rock. He then found a piece of flint, and struck his knife across it creating a spark which ignited the sticks. The fire will keep bugs away Frank said. Goodnight everypony Applejack said and curled up by the fire. Everyone also began to fall asleep. Rainbow Dash, Frank said. Yeah, Rainbow Dash responded. Watch the fire, when everyone's asleep put it out, or Ivan will know where we are come morning. Ivan? Asked Rainbow Dash. It's a nickname for the Russians. Ok, Rainbow Dash said, and then yawned. Frank, will you come here, asked Twilight Sparkle. Sure, replied Frank. The two of them walked about fifty feet from the fire. Do you actually think we have a chance of beating the Russians at this point? Asked Twilight. Yeah, as long as we reach the temple before the Russians. What happens if the Russians make it to the temple before us? Twilight asked. Well for starters, the Russian will use the gold to buy more weapons, maybe take over the whole of Equestria; They may even reform the Soviet Union, said Frank. What's the Soviet Union, asked Twilight. Originally, the Russians controlled fifteen territories outside of Russia, well they ran out of money. So those fifteen territories each became their own nations. Russia then invaded those countries and took em back over, but now their low on cash. Long short of it the Russians want the gold to pay all of their bills, and ruling Equestria is just an added bonus. With them. I wonder what they would do to Lance's body. Thought Twilight aloud. Hey, Get some sleep Frank said, heading back towards the fire. Good idea said Twilight.
