Chapter 5: into the mine

The walk from San de neighgo to the mine took about thirty minutes.

"well this is it" said duster. "shiner mines".

"so what's our plan black?" asked golden heart.

"we go in and kill the head hound." replied blacklight.

"we have ta find him first" said duster.

"shouldnt be too hard" said blacklight.

The three walked into the mine. The interior of the mine had numerous brightly colored gemstones jutting from the walls the walls were lined with lanterns.

"careful everypony" said blacklight.

They walked deeper into the mine. The sherbet they went, the more moist the ground became.

"why is the ground wet?" asked golden heart.

"theres some fancy term for it" replied duster. "I dont know it but I met a pony who knew."

They had went so far in that they could no longer see where they entered from.

"stay together" said blacklight.

They continued walking untill they reached a mining lift.

"this will take us down to the lower levels" said duster.

They got in the left and pushed a button then the lift decended.

"hey duster?" asked blacklight.

"yeah black?" said duster.

"how does your battle saddle work?" black asked. "I don't see a trigger mechanism or anything".

"believe it or not it's magic operated." replied duster.

Duster took off his hat revealing a stub of a horn on his head.

"your a unicorn?" asked golden heart.

"yep." replied duster. "I cut most of my form off after I left the raiders. They wouldn't recognize me as easily and I could pass as an earth pony. I can use just enough magic to lift a pistol. But it's enough to fire my battle saddle."

Duster put his hat back on and the lift stopped at it's destination.

"Let's move" said blacklight.

They walked down a tunnel for a few minutes untill they heard voices and stoped at a corner.

"ya hear that?" asked blacklight.

Golden heart and duster nodded. Blacklight perked around the corner and saw two large creatures having a conversation. They both wore armor and held magical energy weapons.

"wish we would go back to sleep" said one of creatures.

"why don't you bring that up with the boss?" said the other creature.

"are those hellhounds?" whispered blacklight.

"yeah" replied dusted in a hushed tone.

"you nuts? The boss will ki- wait.... I thought I saw something"

the hellhounds walked slowly towards where black, duster, and gold were.

"think he sees us." whispered blacklight as he ducked behind the corner and floated out his knife.

Golden heart took out her needler pistol.

"I know your there!" said the hound.

"I'll get this one." said blacklight. "duster, you and gold get the other".

Just as the hound rounded the corner, blacklight stabbed him in the throat with his knife and slit the hellhound's throat.

"go!" yelled blacklight.

Golden heart and duster jumped out and fired upon the second hellhound. The hellhound did not have time to react and was immediately gunned down.

"damn it we are good!" said duster.

Then both of the hellhound's energy weapons fall apart.

"the hell?" said blacklight.

"they must have rigged them to break after the owner's death." said duster. "so their guns can't be used against them."

"damn" said golden heart.

"you......."

Blacklight looked and noticed that the hellhound that duster and golden heart shot was still alive.

"still alive?" said golden heart.

"not for long." said duster as he aimed his battle saddle at the hound's head.

"no" said blacklight. "we need to get information from him"

Blacklight holstered his knife and walker over to the hellhound.

"listen good" said blacklight. "try anything and my friend over there will shoot your brains out. We want answers."

"please.... Don't..... Hurt...... Me...." moaned the hellhound.

"then start talking" said blacklight. "where is your boss!?"

"bottom...... Of the mine...." the hellhound was turning pale. "he made......... Us..... Wake up......"

"who?" asked blacklight.

"death..... Fang...." moaned the hellhound.

The hellhound stopped moving.

"death fang......" said duster. "we got our head honcho that's for sure"

"how do we get to the bottom of the mine?" asked blacklight.

"we take this tunnel, then bank right." replied duster. "after that we just take another lift down."

They followed duster's lead but when they reached the lift, they stopped.

"why are we stopping?" asked golden heart.

"have you noticed that we haven't seen any other hellhounds since the first two." said duster.

"you don't think they are...." said blacklight.

"I do" said duster.

Then at that moment multiple hellhounds leaped down from above.

"get them!" yelled one of them.

"ambush!" yelled blacklight as he floated out his shotgun.

Golden heart took out her needler pistol and began firing. The hellhounds took out their magical plasma rifles and began firing at the trio. Blacklight blasted one with his shotgun, causing the hound to erupt into a bunch of red chunks.

"there's too many!" yelled duster as he fired a burst from his battle saddle into a nearby hellhound.

"get to the lift!" yelled blacklight.

The three made a break for it, shooting any hellhound that jumped in their way. They made it into the lift, golden heart pushed the button and the lift decended down.

"in your faces you ugly sons of bitches!" yelled golden heart.

"let's kill death fang!" said blacklight.

The lift reached the bottom and the three got out. The bottom was dark, half of it was so dark you could not see. The ground was riddled with pony skeletons and scraps of armor. Some weapons littered the ground.

"death fang do this?" asked black.

"yes..." said a voice.

"death fang I presume?" said duster.

"you would be correct" replied the voice. "I take it your here to kill me just like the others?"

"yep" said blacklight "now show yourself ya stupid hellhound!"

Death fang just laughed.

"hound... Let me assure you...."

A large red dragon with piercing yellow eyes, blue spikes, and an orange chest rose from the dark part of the area.

"I am no mere hellhound" said the dragon.

Blacklight and the others looked with surprise.

"oh shit." said duster.

"that is a bucking big dragon" said blacklight.

"we are so dead" said golden heart

"now." began death fang. "I do believe its breakfast time."

death fang swiped at them with his claws but they dodged.

"what now!?" asked duster.

Blacklight put away his shotgun and levitated a sniper rifle that was next to a skeleton on the floor along with some nearby magazines for it.

"kill it!" said blacklight.

Blacklight fired a shot at death fang but it bounced off.

"well least I'm going down fighting" duster muttered to himself.

Duster open fired on the large dragon but it also did not face much of an effect.

"fools!" bellowed death fang. " it will take more than mere guns to beat me!"

"bullets keep flying off his scales!" yelled duster.

"try aiming for the eyes!" yelled golden heart as she drew her needler pistol.

Golden heart fired a needle into death fang's left eye , causing the dragon to clutch it in pain. Death fang let out a loud roar.

"those chemicals don't mix well with your eyes Do they!?" yelled golden heart.

"this way!" yelled blacklight, pointing to a tunnel.

The three ran into the tunnel.

"oh no you don't!" cried deathfang.

Deathfang followed them.

"we can't outrun him!" yelled duster.

"look!" yelled black light.

It was a minecart, it was on a set of tracks and there was a skeleton with a missile launcher battle saddle in it.

"get in the cart!" yelled blacklight.

Blacklight, duster, and golden heart jumped into the cart and released the brake, causing the cart to move. Death fang continued to follow them.

"he's catching up!" yelled duster.

"gold!" said blacklight.

"yeah?" replied golden heart.

Blacklight levitated the missile launcher onto golden heart's back and strapped it on with magic.

"use this on him!" said blacklight.

"black you know how I feel about these!" said golden heart.

"would you rather death fang eats us!?" yelled duster

"good point!" yelled golden heart.

Golden heart fired a missile and it knocked death fang back a bit, but then he resumed his chase.

"stop them!" cried death fang.

Two hell hounds leaped in front of the cart.

"ride ends here!" yelled one of the hounds.

"duster!" yelled blacklight.

"on it!"

Duster shot the two hell hounds down with his battle saddle and the cart ran over their corpses. The bodies splattered as the Cart ran over them.

"duck!" screamed golden heart.

The three ducked into the Cart just as fire burst from death fang's mouth.

"we need to end this now!" said blacklight.

The three got up and saw that the cart was about to hit a wall.

"shit!" yelled duster.

The trio jumped out just in time. The cart impacted the wall and broke apart. They landed on the ground with a thud.

"everypony alright?" asked blacklight.

"I think my hoof is sprained." said golden heart, clutching her hoof.

"we won't be ok in a moment!" yelled duster.

Death fang stopped in front of them.

"looks like you have nowhere to go ponies." said death fang.

The dragon smiled.

"I think I'll eat the blonde one first."

Blacklight got up.

"leave......." begun blacklight

Blacklight's eyes closed and his horn glowed a bright green.

"my friends......"

The dragon clutched it's chest.

"muh..... My heart!" cried death fang.

"ALONE!!!!!!"

Blacklight's eyes shot open. They glowed a bright green color that matched the glow of his horn.

Death fang fell to his knees.

"what..... My...... IT HURTS!!!!!" bellowed death fang.

The dragon's heart burst from it's chest surrounded in a green glow. The mighty beast fell dead onto the floor.The glow from it's heart vanished and the heart dropped the the ground.

".......... Damn" said duster.

The glow from blacklight's eyes and horn vanished.

"that was some damn good levitation there black" said duster.

"thanks" said blacklight.

Golden heart smiled.

"we killed a dragon" said golden heart. "we killed a dragon."

Duster let out a laugh.

"this will make one hell of a story!" said duster.

Blacklight smiled at his aconplishment.

"blade will never believe this." blacklight said to himself.

The three were on their way back to San de neighgo. Golden heart couldn't move due to her leg injury so duster and blacklight had to carry her back.

"your heavier than ya look gold!" said duster.

"shut up" said golden heart.

They reached the town gates.

"were back!" yelled blacklight.

The gates opened and the mayor was waiting on the other side.

"since your all alive I take it you did it." asked the mayor.

"yep" replied duster.

"you have got to hear what happened" said golden heart.

"A dragon?" asked the mayor. "it was a dragon?"

They were all inside town hall. With the exception of golden heart who was having her hoof treated.

"yep!" said duster. "black here ripped the thing's heart out!"

"I'm really impressed." said the mayor.

"it was my pleasure" said blacklight.

"I've talked with the townsfolk" started the mayor. "and we pulled together a reward for you."

"what's the reward?" asked blacklight.

"well I heard you needed supplies, so whatever supplies you need for your trip are on the house." said the mayor.

"that's really kind of you mayor" said blacklight.

"it's the least we could do." said the mayor.

The next day, blacklight and golden heart left with their supplies, and some specialty ammo that primer had given them as a token of gratitude.

"next stop zebra outpost!" said golden heart.

"hopefully that zebra will be there." said blacklight.

"hey wait up!" yelled a voice.

They looked and saw duster running up to them with his battle saddle on one side, a saddlebag on his other side with a baseball bat handle sticking out.

"I told ya to see me before ya left!" said duster.

"what is it?" asked blacklight?

"well I was wondering if there's room for me in this group." replied duster.

Blacklight and golden heart both smiled.

"after what we been through, of course you can!" said blacklight.

"ya just made my day black!" said duster.

The trio continued walking.

"let's find us a zebra!" said blacklight.
