"Engineer!" Soldier called to the welding man "How's the wall coming along?"

"Got three fourths of the wall surrounding the battlements." He said in response.

"This is not the battlements, this is Poniville, a civilian town." Soldier said.

"Yea yea, you want me to finish the wall?" He asked. "No we need a place to shoot from, your done here. Now you must set up over on the unwalled north side of town." Soldier ordered.

"Alright then." Engineer responded.

"And Engineer, your sure these walls are strong?"

"Absolutely, I wouldn't be surprised if they were still standing after a nuclear explosion."

"Good work soldier, dismissed!"

*~*~*~*~*~*

"Heavy, how are the weapons?" Soldier asked walking up.zr

"Is good, Engineer build every weapon Mann co supply us with." Heavy responded.

"Good, Engie's been busy these last couple hours. Well good work heavy, and remember always be on your toes." He said walking away.

Next soldier stopped to check in with Sniper. "How's it going?" He said walking up. "Good." Sniper said polishing his modified bazaar bargain.

"Feeling lucky today?" He asked looking at the rifle. "Not lucky-" Sniper said, "professional. Tinkered with it a bit, now it doesn't need the laser, and it charges just as fast as a regular sniper without any heads bagged. So you can imagine what it'll be like when the heads are rolling in the fight. Though I need a spotter, would certainly help a lot."

"Why don't you go ask around the village, I'm sure you'll find some-uh-pony?"

"Well-" Sniper chuckled, "certainly will be interested working with a pony."

"That it will son, that it will." He said walking away.

*~*~*~*~*~*

"And done!" Engineer said wiping removing his stetson and wiping sweat off his forehead. He stepped back admiring his work, and he realized he did a lot in 10 hours. Almost everything but sleep.

He decided since there was a level four sentry guarding the north front now was a good a time as any to rest up for tonight. He found a nearby bench and drifted off.

An hour later the sun was just begun to set, the bright setting sun shining into the closed eyes of the engineer. He slowly awoke, sitting up , and rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

He saw the sun setting and begun walking towards the center of town. He was just able to see a pony walking not 10 yards away, then he noticed the hat on the head of the pony. It was wearing a hat and not any hat, his stetson.

"Hey!" He called, "What do you think y'all are doin wearing mah hat?" The pony turned around and gasped, "Oh," She said, "you must be one of those, uh what where they called, oh yea, humans. And are y'all talkin about that there hat on your head?" She said pointing towards the clear as day hat on his head.

"Oh, uh yea that'd be the one." He said scratching the back of his neck, "Ya know I just where this thing all the time it feels like a second skin."

"Yea, Ah know what ya mean. Something this thing is on my head and I forget its even there."

"Well I uh got to go, but uh where are my manners-" She said sticking out a hoof, "names Applejack."

"Dell, Dell Conagher, but everyone calls me Engineer." He slowly reached out, but she was faster and, somehow she actually grabbed his hand and shook it wildly.

"Well Ah'd love to stay and chat but, I got to look for mah sister. She was in the Everfree Forest last night visiting Zecora, but she never came back. Zecora evacuated the forest when the order was given, but she said she sent Applebloom home last night. I'm really worried."

"Didn't Scout say somethin about a girly scream last night in the forest." He said rubbing he 5 o'clock shadow. "Scout?"

"About nineteen, Boston accent, up in you face attitude." He said giving his best discription of the kid. "Uh, what's Boston."

"A city where where I'm from. Trust me y'all will know him when you see him."

"Thank ya very kindly Mister Conagher Ah'll go look for this Scout. Bye!" She said trotting off.

"Seems like a great pony. Defenatly has a good taste in hats." He said walking towards the temporary base.

*~*~*~*~*~*

Scout was sitting on the roof of the town hall eating one of Heavy's sandviches and a special Double Donk! Bonk! Little recipe of his own that's better than Bonk! Atomic Punch! and tastes better too.

He was just beginning to doze off when he heard someone call mister up to him.

"Yea?" He called down looking down over the edge at this orange pony."Uh, hi name's Applejack. I'm looking for one of your people. Dell told me he goes by Scout." She called up at him.

He took one last sip out of his soda and, with all the grace and speed of a cheetah, got down off the roof.

She was looking at him with awestruck eyes, "Well you happened to find the one and only." He boasted, "Or at least on this planet." He muttered. "Anyway, what's up?"

"Well, Dell told me that you heard a girl scream in the forest, and I can't seem to find my little sister anywhere. I'm worried." She said looking at him with pleading eves.

"Uh yea I did, whoever that was screaming was scared of something, and with good reason there is something dangerous in that forest."

"Something dangerous?"

"Yea, Medic saved all our asses from some sort of rocket."

"Well, your a scout right?"

"I prefer rapid recovery specialist, but yea. Why?" He asked.

"Cuz I have a job for you."
