Chapter 10- The great breakout.
Duster looked at backlight with a look of surprise.
"you want to free every slave?" asked duster.
"yes." replied black light.
"that's almost impossible!" added duster.
"Almost." replied black light.
Black light floated a stealth buck out of his saddle bag.
"this will get me in." said black light.
"what about an escape?" asked duster.
"that's where you come in." said backlight. "you stay behind with the ride and I'm going to signal to you when we are ready."
"with what?" asked duster.
"I'll think of something." replied backlight.
Golden heart looked at black light.
"what about me?" asked golden heart.
"you got anything that can knock out a guard?" asked black light.
"yes I have some syringes for that." replied golden heart.
"knock one out and steal its outfit, when the riot starts I'll try to meet up with you"
"got it." said golden heart.
The SSCS6000 stopped.
"mission is go." said duster.
Blacklight checked all his gun's to see if they were loaded.
"ready." said black light.
Him and golden heart got off.
" Let's move." said black light.
Golden heart nodded and they walked towards the camp.
The two ponies were close to the gate of the camp, they were hiding behind a large rock. Two guards stood at attention. At opposite sides of the gate.
"take them out." said blacklight.
Golden heart took out her syringe gun. Then fired two shots. Both hitting the guards. They fell unconscious onto the ground.
"good." said blacklight as he took out his stealth buck.
Blacklight activated the stealth buck and walked through the gates. Golden heart put her weapon away and began dragging the unconscious guards out of sight.
The camp was an elaborate facility. It was surrounded by a wall made of scrap metal. There was a couple pre war buildings that were still usable. A large fenced in area guarded by several slavers held numerous slaves.
Blacklight crept through the camp.
"I need the keys to the slave pen." thought blacklight.
He looked around and saw a slaver with a set of keys on him.
"must be it."
The slaver began to walk towards one of the pre war buildings. Blacklight followed him. The slaver walked into a small two floor building. The first floor had a desk, some chairs, and a radio playing triple trot's news.
"hey there colts and fillies its news time! First thing, parents keep an eye on your kids because ponies have been reported missing lately. Second thing, when outside scavenging, don't forget to bring a buddy, it could mean the difference. Between life and getting killed by raiders. Lastly, word about our buddy blacklight. He's reported to have gained another traveling partner. A resident from San de neighgo Has identified him as duster. Well that's all for right now. So here's some tunes."
The newscast ended and was replaced by a calm song.
The slaver sat down at the desk and turned the radio off.
"stupid triple trot." muttered the slaver.
The slaver laid his head down and fell asleep.
"nows my chance" thought blacklight.
He crept up to the sleeping pony and gently levitated the keys off of him.
"carefully black." he thought to himself.
He lifted the keys off his body and put them into his vest.
"on to phase two."
As blacklight turned to leave, the floor board creaked. The sound waking up the slaver. Blacklight froze up with fear.
"Whos there?" said the slaver as he looked around.
Luckily blacklight was still cloaked.
"buck." thought blacklight.
Without warning, his cloak began to fade.
"mother bucker." thought blacklight.
The slaver immediately took notice.
"what in the-"
Blacklight acted fast. He had no silenced weapons so he did what came naturally.
He rushed the slaver and tackled him, covering his mouth with a hoof. Then he floated his knife out of it's holster.
"sssssshhhhhhhhh." whispered blacklight.
He stabbed it into the slavery's neck, killing him.
"thank celestial that was quiet." whispered blacklight.
He had bigger problems. He was trapped in a building with no stealthy way of reaching the slaves.
"crap." whispered blacklight.
He looked around for anything he could use. And that's when he noticed a closet.
Blacklight trotted over to the closet and opened it. Inside was boxes upon boxes of books. Blacklight grabbed a box and looked through it. One book stood out.
"classic Canterlot melodies volume 2. Composed by Octavia."
The cover of the book was signed.
Blacklight stashed it into his saddle bag.
"maybe I could use this....." thought blacklight.
He dragged the slavery's body into the closet. Then he opened the desk. Inside was two bobby pins, a paperweight, an pack of cigirates, and a bottle of whiskey.
Blacklight put the pins into his bag and levitated the whiskey bottle out.
"perfect." thought blacklight with a smile.
He uncorked the bottle and poured its contents over the books and the body.
"here it goes." whispered blacklight.
His horn glowed red and he ignited the whiskey, starting a fire. Blacklight quickly dashed under the desk.
"FIRE!" yelled blacklight.
The door burst open and slavers ran in to deal with the fire. They were so preoccupied that they did not notice blacklight slip out.
Golden heart's luck must have been rubbing off on blacklight.
When he exited the building, there were no slavers outside.
"damn." muttered blacklight.
He ran towards the fence. Slaves began to approach blacklight. One unicorn with a grey coat, no mane, a pale black tail, and a hammer for a cutie mark pushed through the crowd of slaves.
"why are you here?" asked the slave. "it's not safe. Are you trying to end up like us?"
"actually I'm here for a little arrangement." replied blacklight.
blacklight took out the keys. The slaves stared at him like he just took out a diamond ring.
"how did you........." began the slave. "what will it take for us to get those?"
"two things." said blacklight. "I'm looking for a griffon, A talon. He goes by blade and wears a helmet."
"the griffon is being held over there." replied the slave.
The slave pointed at a building to the far right.
"thanks." said blacklight. "you have a name?"
"stone mallet." replied the slave. "I'm good with a hammer. Now what's the second thing."
Blacklight smirked and tossed mallet the keys.
"start a riot."
Mallet smiled back.
"your an interesting pony stranger." said mallet.
"call me blacklight."
Mallet turned to face his fellow slaves.
"every pony! Make a dash for the armory!" said mallet as he pointed towards a nearby building. "today we give those monsters what they deserve."
A unicorn slave lifted the keys and unlocked the fence.
"freedom!" yelled a slave.
The slaves began rushing out of the pen. Some running towards the armory, others ransacking the camp. The slavers heard the noise and rushed outside to try to control the situation.
"just as planned." said blacklight.
"black!"
Blacklight turned to see golden heart galloping towards him.
She was wearing a scrap metal helmet and light armor while still carrying her saddle bags.
"where's blade at?" asked golden heart.
Blacklight pointed at the far right building and levitated his pistol out.
"let's go."
The two rushed towards the building.
Blade was strapped down onto a chair in the middle of an empty room. Inside were four slavers. Three had battle saddles while the fourth, a unicorn was talking on a ham radio.
"last chance Lero." said the slaver. "pay up or your buddy here is a slave."
Blade could faintly hear Leroy's response.
"if you do anything to him, your going to have to deal with all of my talons."
The slaver smirked.
"then come bucking get him."
The slaver turned the radio off and trotted up to blade.
"well fly boy, looks like your staying." said the slaver.
"when I get out of here, I'm going to rip your celestia damned throat out." said blade Angerly.
The slaver whacked him across the side of his face.
"if they even try to rescue you...."
The slaver floated out a .367 revolver and pointed it at blade's head.
"your life will be questionable."
The two reached the building. All around them the slaves were rioting.
"how are we going to handle this?" asked golden heart.
Blacklight activated his magic vision and looked through the wall.
"I see him." said blacklight. "buck there's a gun pointed at his head!"
Blacklight reached into his saddlebag and took out 10 grenades.
"what are you thinking black?" asked golden heart.
Blacklight floated out a roll of duct tape he acquired.
"I'm making us a door."
Blacklight duct tapped grenades onto the wall in a rectangular pattern.
"this will be big." said blacklight.
Golden heart took out her syringe gun as blacklight wrapped the grenade pins in a magical glow.
"here we go."
The slaver walked around blade in a circular fashion, still pointing the gun at his head.
"you know why I'm making such a big deal out of this?" asked the slaver.
Blade spit in the unicorn's face.
"that's real nice" said the slaver. "boss loves anything with wings. Well loves watching them suffer."
The slaver wiped the saliva off of his face.
"I think it's because he's jealous."
Then a large explosion tore a hole in the wall, knocking down the slavers in the room and it clouded blade's vision.
Blacklight and golden heart dashed through the hole. Blacklight looked at the fallen slavers.
"this is for kidnapping blade." said blacklight.
Blacklight fired a shot into each of the slavery's heads, except for the unicorn.
"I'm hearing things......" said blade. "that sounded like......"
Blacklight trotted in front of blade.
"miss me bro?"
Blade's eyes widened.
"black?...... That you?" said blade in awe.
Blacklight put his pistol away and took out his knife.
"it's me blade." said blacklight.
Blacklight cut blade free.
"black...... I never thought I'd see you...... Or anyone for that matter." said blade.
Blade hugged blacklight.
"how did you even find me?" asked blade.
Blacklight ended the hug.
"I overheard a transmission on a radio." replied blacklight. "I stopped everything and came as fast as I could."
"so who's that?" asked blade, pointing to golden heart.
"that's golden heart." said blacklight. "she's my traveling companion."
"just your traveling companion?" said blade smugly.
This caused the ponies to blush furiously.
"I'm joking bro." said blade. "we need to reach the armory."
"we still need to signal duster too." said golden heart.
"maybe there's a flare gun in the armory." said blacklight.
"one last thing." said blade.
He grabbed the unicorn slaver in one claw and raised the other to his throat.
"told you I was going to rip your throat out."
Blade tore the slaver's throat out. Then he threw his body to the side and picked up his revolver.
"let's go." said blade.
They ran through the hole in the wall.
The riot erupted into a battle. The slaves had managed to get weapons from the armory and soon slaves began to fire upon the slavers.
The three took cover behind a building.
"armory is just up ahead." said blacklight. "but we can't get through with all that gunfire."
"if I fly above them I'm an easy target." said blade.
A slaver charged towards the group, baseball bat in his mouth.
"black!" said golden heart.
Blacklight fired three shots int the slaver, taking him down.
"Maybe we Should rush it." suggested golden heart.
"beats staying here." said blacklight. "we go on three."
Blacklight loaded a fresh magazine into his pistol.
"one..... Two.... Three! Go!"
They ran towards the armory, dodging gunfire as they went.
"so far so good!" said blacklight.
They reached the entrance to the armory.
"that was close." said blade. Blade opened the door and they walked into the armory.
The armory was a large room filled with shelves and trunks full of weapons. Mot likely confiscated from the slaves. Inside, two slavers laid dead on the floor while mallet browsed the contents of a trunk.
"hold on I'll grab my things." said blade.
Blade began to check the shelves as mallet turned towards blacklight.
"hey black." said mallet.
Mallet turned his attention to golden heart.
"whose this?"
"she's with me." said blacklight. "did you see any flare guns here?"
Mallet floated a flare gun out of a trunk and have it to blacklight.
"this work?"Asked mallet.
"yeah thanks." replied blacklight.
"one last thing." said mallet,
Mallet took out a folded up piece of paper and gave it to blacklight.
"it's blueprints to a weapon." began mallet. "some slaver dropped it awhile back. Least I can give you for setting us free."
"thanks." said blacklight.
He put the paper into his saddlebag and began checking shelves for ammo.
"what's next for you guys?" asked mallet.
"we have a friend waiting for us with an escape vehicle." replied golden heart.
"well I can handle getting the slaves out." said mallet. "know where I can find a place for us to go?"
"try the new guard." said blacklight. "they set up by bitterhoof."
"sounds like a plan." said mallet as he levitated a sledgehammer off of a shelf. "I hope I can see you guys again."
Mallet rushed out to join the fight.
Blacklight grabbed a box of shotgun shells, some 9mm ammo, and five rounds of ammo for the protector. Blade approached blacklight with a pack on his back, a holstered 10mm pistol, and a double barreled shotgun.
"ready to go." said blade.
The three ran out of the armory.
Blacklight floated out the flare gun.
"here we go." said blacklight.
He fired a shot into the air. The bright red flare flew into the sky.
"now we need to hold out a little longer." said golden heart.
"your not going anywhere!" yelled a voice.
A lone slaver different than the others approached them. He was a blue earth pony with a purple mane, magenta eyes, with a machete for a cutie mark wearing a black sleeveless duster with machetes strapped to his front hooves.
"so your the one responsible for this uprising." said the slaver.
"yes I am." said blacklight. "who are you?"
"I'm the pony who runs this joint." said the slaver. "I'm sharp edge and I'm not too happy right now."
Blacklight put his pistol away.
"I'll handle this." said blacklight.
Blacklight floated his knife out.
"no guns then." said edge.
Edge got into a fighting stance.
"I like this."
Edge charged blacklight.
Blacklight sidestepped and swung his knife at edge. The blade grazed his side. Edge grinded his teeth in pain. Edge swung around and lashed at blacklight with his machetes, blacklight stepped back and avoided the. Attack.
"stop moving around!" said edge.
Edge thrusted a machete into blacklight's hoof, pinning it to the ground.
"ack!" yelled blacklight.
Edge slashed at blacklight's face, cutting him across the cheek.
"not so tough now are we!" said edge.
Blacklight's eyes began to glow a bright green.
"what the-"
Edge felt himself being lifted off the ground, taking the machete with him.
"it's another magic spike." said golden heart.
Blacklight uppercutted edge in the ribs. Then he threw him against a wall. Blacklight rushed towards edge and stabbed his knife into edge's shoulder.
"not bad magic boy." said edge.
Blacklight grabbed edge's head with magic.
"shut up creep."
Blacklight snapped edge's neck with magic. His eyes returned to their normal color. Then a horn was heard. Blacklight holstered his knife.
"thats our ride!" said golden heart.
The sscs6000 rammed into the steel wall, knocking it down.
"get your asses over here!" said duster
Duster laid suppressing fire While the three ran to the vehicle.
"how did you get one of those?" asked blade.
"long story." answered blacklight.
They got into the vehicle.
"adios bitches!" yelled duster.
The vehicle backed out and drove away from the camp.
"So your black's brother." said duster.
They had been driving for two hours. Durring that time golden heart changed back into her stable barding and blade got acquainted with blacklight's group,
"I can't believe you came all this way to save me." said Blade.
"that's what brothers are for." said blacklight.
"so where to now?" asked duster.
"can you take me home?" asked blade.
"I'm not sure if I'm still allowed there." replied blacklight.
"Lero said you can't live there." said blade. "your just bringing me back and visiting for a bit."
"well we need to stock up on supplies." said golden heart.
"San de neighgo." said duster. "I can get us there within two days."
"I was planning on stoping there anyways." said blacklight.
Blacklight took out the music book he found.
"wanted to bring this to violet."
"where did you get that?" asked golden heart.
"found it in the camp." replied blacklight. "it was autographed so I didnt want to destroy it."
"whos violet" asked blade.
"sit down blade." began blacklight. "we have a crazy story to tell you."
