     I can't believe we got captured! Church exclaimed. I can Frank said. Wait, Rainbow Dash, you did put out the fire last night, didn’t you? Asked Frank. Well, I kinda fell asleep, Rainbow Dash replied. That’s how the Russians found us! Frank yelled. You couldn’t do one simple task! Leave her alone, Applejack said, no ones perfect. You can say that again Church said, Frank. Yeah, Frank replied. You know the fortune tellers at fairs, Church began. What about them? Frank asked. I wanna go back to the lady that did mine four days, before I came here, and punch her in the gut. Why? Cowboy asked. Because, she said, that I would go out in search for riches, she didn’t say anything about being tied up in the back of a Russian army truck, man was I foolish to believe that I would actually receive any gold. Shut up! The Russian soldier sitting next to the tailgate said. I was foolish, said Twilight. I believed that we would make it to the gold, and Lance and I would get married and have a family. Darling, I hate to crush your dreams, but Lance is an Equestrian prince and by law he can't marry you, said Rarity. Don't remind me said Twilight. I'm not going to ask you again, shut up! The Russian soldier repeated. Hey what's that? Frank asked. Where? Asked the Russian soldier as he stood up. Frank then kicked him in the butt, sending the Russian soldier flying out of the back of the truck. What are you doing? Demanded Rarity. Getting us back in the fight replied Frank. Frank then walked over to the Russian soldiers Ak-47. He flipped open the bayonet with his hand, which was still bound to his back, he then used the bayonet to cut the ropes holding his hand together. Who's next asked Frank. Frank walked around the back of the truck and cut everyone free. How, come the driver didn’t notice anything? Applejack asked. Frank then stepped towards the cab. As he approached he heard the soldiers arguing in Russian. I want to listen to Justin Bebier, Ivan demanded. No, we are listening to Anne Murray Chernov protested. Listen, I'm driving, which means I get to pick music Ivan said. I'm shotgun, which means picking music is my job, Chernov argued. Rarity then punched Ivan, knocking him from the ZiL. Applejack immediately, did the same to Chernov, with the same result. Frank hopped into the drivers seat, and Twilight jumped into the passengers seat. Meanwhile in the back, the rest of the group was looking through boxes in the back of the ZiL. Look what I found! Rainbow Dash exclaimed, as she removed an RPG from a large wooden box. What is it? asked Fluttershy. I have no idea, Rainbow Dash replied. Maybe, its one of those fancy hairdryers that Rarity uses, Fluttershy replied. Great thinking Fluttershy! Rainbow Dash said. Now how do I get it to turn on asked Rainbow Dash. Pull the trigger, Fluttershy said. Okay, Rainbow Dash said, as she pulled the RPG's trigger. The RPG fired its rocket through the canvas side of the ZiL's bed, and hit a T-90 in the engine, which exploded. I don't think its a hairdryer, Fluttershy to Rainbow Dash. Oh, sweet Jesus! Frank exclaimed as all the vehicles in the column began to fire at the ZiL. They know were here now, Church said. No, crap Frank replied as he steered the ZiL around an incoming Russian RPG rocket. Why are they shooting at us? Rarity asked. Well, we did shoot at them first, Cowboy replied. Point well made, replied Rarity. A amphibious Russian jeep pulled along side the ZiL and all of the Russian soldiers aboard unloaded their Ak's into the side of the ZiL. Take out that Duck! Cried Frank. Duck, were? Asked Fluttershy. The Jeep! Yelled Frank. Ok, boss man Rainbow dash said as she jumped onto the amphibious jeep. Rainbow Dash, hit a Russian soldier in the neck, and sent him spiraling off the back of the jeep. She kicked another Russian soldier in the face, and he too fell off the jeep. Applejack and Twilight then also jumped onto the jeep. Applejack cow kicked a Russian political officer in the chest, causing him to do a barrel roll off the back of the jeep. Twilight then shot a burst of magic dust into the Russian soldier eyes who was driving the jeep.  He fell to the floor of the jeep in pain, and Rainbow dash pushed him off the jeep. There's one left cried,Twilight. Wait, Applejack said, he's the guy from the fort. Will! Cowboy cried out. Will went for his gun, but Cowboy was quicker. He picked up the Ak-47 off the floor of the ZiL, and threw it at Will, the butt of the Ak struck Will in the temple, and knocked him out. Applejack, you steer, Twilight instructed. I'll handle the acceleration, and braking, Rainbow Dash, you'll shift. Twilight hopped under the Jeep front seat, and Pushed her hoof onto the gas, and the jeep bolted forward. Applejack grabbed the wheel and tried to steer the jeep. Rainbow Dash hopped into the passengers seat. There Ptrankativich called out Applejack. Ptrankativich's jeep seemed to be heading straight for them. Frank, braked hard, and sent the ZiL flying down an ancient dirt road. Boris, drive me closer! Demanded Ptrankativich, as her raised his Ak-47. It is Ptrankativich alright said Rainbow Dash, as he began to fire. Rainbow Dash ducked down between the console and the seat. Don't worry sugarcube, Applejack said, he couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn door. Just as Applejack finished speaking Ptrankativich shot the drivers side mirror off. Ptrankativich then again raised the Ak-47 to fire, but when he pulled the trigger, all he heard was a sharp click. Out of ammo Boris said. Pull along side, ordered Ptrankativich. As Boris did so, Applejack jerked the wheel hard left. The Jeeps collided, sending Ptrankativich flying forwards, as he feel Ptrankativich desperately grabbed on to the DShK machine gun mounted on the front of Applejack’s jeep. The gun swung around, and Ptrankativich accidentally pulled the trigger. A storm of bullets flew over Applejacks head as she ducked. The DshK obliterated the windshield. Twilight stomped on the brake with her hoof. Ptrankativich flew off the Dshk and hit the ground hard. However, He stood up withdrew his Mauser and fired at Applejack, Twilight and Rainbow Dash. Twilight again gunned it. Boris, pulled the jeep alongside Ptrankativich. Are you alright comrade general? Asked Boris. I'm fine replied Ptrankativich as he climbed into the jeep. Maybe next time you'll wear your searbelt Boris said smiling. Ptrankativich shot Boris a dirty look, and Boris quit smiling and began to again pursue Applejack, Twilight, and Rainbow Dash.
