Mutation Extermination

Spitfire's POV

I helped Soarin carry out the bodys of Luna and Vlad. I couldn't get the image out of my mind, just the thought of it pains me. The image of Vlad's missing face, and the blood that covered Nightmare's face. We brought them to the holes that had been dug next to Celestia's. We lowered the bodys into their respective holes, saying a few lines. It was my turn to speak.

"Vlad was a great ally, one of the best we've had." I said, walking off the makeshift podium. I rejoined the rest in the crowd, remembering the blue stallion. The one thing that wouldn't leave was his accent. I also grabbed a tiny device from his ear, a tiny plastic and metal thing. It started making noise. I put it to my ear.

"Agent Vlad--- Don't--- Under atta--- They are here--- OH GO---" The noise ended in a bunch of screaming and roaring. I remembered what Twilight had told me, that Vlad was from a secret organization that even Celestia didn't know about. I lowered the device, having heard enough of the screams.

"Hey Spitfire!" I heard somepony yell, I looked in the direction of the voice. It was Fleetfoot, she must've finished checking on the main citys.

"Any place un-touched by the mutants?" I asked, Fleetfoot waved her hand towards her, signifying that she wants me to follow her. I did, and when we were away from the crowd, she told me.

"It's hell out there, Manehattan is in ruins, Las Pegasus is destroyed, and VanHoover is no more" she said, I looked at the moon in disbelief.

"First we lost our team, now the night will never end, and we have no where to run to." I said, looking back at Fleetfoot, hope shining in her eyes.

"But we know where to destroy them" she said, I knew what she was talking about, and this was our only chance. I nodded my head, walking back to the crowd. I got on the podium, I cleared my throat loudly, catching the crowds attention.

"We have no where to go, Fleetfoot has told me this after scanning the big citys" I said, the crowd started to murmur, I even heard a few start sobbing. "But, there is still hope" I said, silencing the crowd, I felt sweat form on my head. "We will strike them down from their hive" I said, the crowd burst into screams, sobs, and angry yelling.

I felt my hopes die, knowing that they were un-willing to help. I was about to walk off the podium, but stopped when I saw Twilight and the remainders of her friends step onto the tiny bit of podium left.

"Shes right" Twilight said, the crowd grew quiet, only a few murmurs were heard. "This may be our only chance at surviving this, the choice is yours. Stay and die in the dark, or fight and die trying" he said, I heard some one clap in the crowd, then it grew to two. The whole crowd was clapping now, saying 'we're with you!' 'Lets do this!' And 'we die fighting!'

We looked at Sheldon, who was standing at the side of the stage. "Do the scientists have enough guns for the crowd?" I asked, he nodded.

"With a few hundred cloning spells, we will have enough guns and plenty of ammo" he said, he turned and walked to some scientists who were in the crowd. Fter a second of talking to them, they walked off towards the caves. The crowd watched them walk off, and patiently waited for them to return.

After a few minutes, the scientists came back, crates in tow. One of the lead scientists came up to the podium, we moved out of the way. "Go to the crates, the other scientists will teach you how to use them." He said, before the crowd could move he spoke again. "But, not all can come with, for we need some to stay behind with the children" the crowd was silent. Then a hand rose, then another, eventually there were eleven hands in the air. He nodded, then turned to us.

"Yes sir?" Twilight asked, he reached into his lab coat and pulled out a box with wires in it.

"This is what you will use, find their main breeding room, and set this for ten minutes. It will give you enough time to escape." He said, handing the box to Twilight. She nodded, putting the box into her magic storage. He had us follow him to the crates, giving us new guns, and ammo. I grabbed two bombs and a grenade, while Soarin grabbed two guns. The others grabbed a variety of items, mainly bombs and grenades. We were ready.

Twilight walked back to the podium, catching everyones attention. "Last chance, stay and hide in the dark, or fight and die trying, the choice is yours." She called out, a few walked back to the caves, but many stayed. "Alright, let's move out!" She yelled, everypony started cheering, following her as she started heading towards the mutant hive.

~~~1 hour of walking later~~~

We were walking as silently as possible, doing our best to not alarm the mutants. We were close, I could see a few big holes with glowing colors in them. I looked to the left when I saw a figure rise from the ground. It was somebody I've seen before, I never caught his name before he laughed and the queen appeared.

He looked around, and when he saw me, he started limping towards me. "Help...please" he said, when he was close enough I saw the hole in his stomach. I hurried over to him, helping him walk by putting his arm over my shoulder. I looked around, seeing Fluttershy not that far away, we walked over to her.

"Fluttershy, you gotta help him" I said, she looked over, her eyes still dead. She nodded, I helped him sit down.

"Thanks" he said, Fluttershy pulled out a medpack from the backpack she grabbed before we left. She injected him with something, but it seemed to lessen his pain. She started putting gauze on it, using a one and a half rolls. She stood up and continued on her given path.

"Never caught your name" I said, he stood up.

"Names Riot, now for my question" he said.

"I didn't know we were playing that game" I said as we walked where I needed to be.

"Guess we are, but still, what are all of you doing out here?" He asked, pointing at a few others.

"We're invading their hive" I said, a grin appeared on his face.

"Got a spare gun?" He asked, I pointed at Soarin.

"He grabbed two when he can barely handle one" I said, he laughed a little. He walked over to him and grabbed a gun, making sure it was reloaded, he walked back over to me.

"Lets give'em hell"
