That took Techno off guard. “Who said I wanted to join?!" He asked, his ears flattening.

"I did, you need somewhere to stay, don't you?" Twilight looked around. She seemed to be shaking, Techno couldn't blame her. It was going to rain Techno could feel it.

“Yeah... I guess.” He said. Twilight smiled and her gaze drifted off into the sky.

“Let’s get going.” Twilight turned around and walked deeper into the forest. Techno felt drips of rain starting to fall and he frowned. His blue eyes locked on the mare that trotted beside him and he smiled.

“What?” Twilight asked then sneezed.

“Nothing.” Techno chuckled and extended a wing over his friend. She looked up at him in shock but made no effort to speak; she didn’t want to break the silence, mostly because there might have been a patrol around. About ten minutes later, a building came into view; it looked like it was a 3 floor house, quite worn down by the looks of it. Five ponies were guarding the outside. “Who are they?”  Techno looked at Twilight, whom was still under his wing.

“Uh... You’ll see.” She snapped out of a daze and smiled weakly. They approached the five; and Twilight nodded. They took off their helmets and Techno grinned at the sight of his friends. Rainbow dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Applejack.

Rainbow dash had a scar going down her left eye. Her body was covered with shining, silver armour, and a smirk was plastered on the mares face.

Apple jack had a saddle bag, most likely filled with ammo. She had a knife strapped to her left hind leg and the thing that surprised Techno the most, was that Applejack wasn’t wearing her pappy’s hat.

Rarity looked about the same, but her mane was in a braid.

Fluttershy seemed to have black streaks in her mane and she had pistol in her hooves. She had a leather helmet on her back and she peeked through her mane at the colt.

Now Pinkie pie, her mane was straight and she wore a frown. This had Techno by surprise; he had never seen his friend like this.

“You most likely know who these are.” Twilight spoke after he finished examining the five guards in front of them. Techno nodded and smiled, his gaze returning to the five mares. Rainbow dash stepped forward, her smirk still planted on her face.

“Wow Twi, you just found this guy and you’re already close to him!”

Twilight blushed and looked up at Techno, who snapped his wing back to his side.

“Uh, I could tell she was getting kind of cold so I...” He trailed off.

“I’m playing, recruit.” Rainbow laughed and she trotted up to him. “What’s your name?”

“Techno, prince Techno.” Techno replied.

“Ah, a prince.” Rainbow dash winked at Twilight, who looked away quickly.

“Stop teasin’ dash.” Applejack punched her friend in the shoulder.

“But it’s fun!” Rainbow grinned, pushing the farmer over.

“GIRLS!” Twilight yelled. “Stop. What if someone hears you?” Twilight glared. “You would have us all killed!” Techno flinched as he watched the purple mare.

“Relax Twilight.” Rainbow dash’s eyes were unusually calm. “We haven’t had a patrol come by in weeks.”

“I know but we can’t be sure.” Twilight sighed. “I would love for us to stop guarding the hide out.” She turned to Techno. “As for you, do you know how to use a gun?”

Techno shook his head. “Never needed to use one.”

Twilight rolled her eyes. “That means I’ll have to teach you.” The others nodded and Rainbow dash threw a gun at him. Techno levitated the gun up to his face to examine it.

“We call it G.G.” Rainbow spoke after a bit.

“What does that mean?”  Techno raised an eyebrow.

“Glowing Galil.” Rainbow dash replied.
