Mare with the Metal and Mare with a Broken Soul

Previous Chapter

The group of ponies finally exited the door that kept them in the safe room. No infected were in site which was good thing, they walked down the steps and started open fire on the little infected that were there. Broken Meds picked up some pipebombs and pills that laid in a blocked hallway. A sudden gurgle sound was heard and they all looked around, TriggerHappy cocked his gun and listen carefully. A huge round colt with boils on his body came from around corner gurgling and bellowing. Trigger Happy pushed the giant colt called a Boomer backwards shooting it, making the giant explode in guts and blood. The group moved forward up another flight of stairs, entering the top they saw the underground trains, some toppled over others off tracked and on fire. They moved inside the station shooting the infected wandering the station inside. They then noticed a table with left over ammo and decided to take a small break.

"Hey guys?" Broken Meds spoke up as they were reloading and keeping guard.

"What is it?" Boom Blast answered looking at the zebra

"Why do you all keep me here?" He responded " I mean I know I'm the medic in the group but, I cant carry a gun, I'm afraid of everything, and and-"

"Broken, youre what keep us together," Trigger Happy said smiling lightly

"Remember when this all started, we were all lost alone." Boom Blast sighed "You found each and one of us and told all three of us, that we needed eachother."

The pink striped zebra made a light smile, "I did say, that didnt I?"

"That was soooo touching" a light voice and a clanking sound was heard in the distance "it almost made me tear up" the four turned their heads to see the black mare from the street. They looked at her foreleg and saw it was made up of metal, air pumps, cranks, and wires. "We had a little, interruption, in our last meet."

The ponies pulled up their guns and sword protecting the zebra that watched.

The mare chuckled then smiled cocky like "allow me to introduce myself, I am DrillBit leader of Dwellers." She looked at the four in front of her, "This is my assisstant, WrenchBloom." The moment she said the name a tan mare walked out from behind the stallions she had a pink bow in her red mane. A cloth bandage covered her left eye but she kept the other closed closed.

"WrenchBloom doesnt talk every much, anymore" DrillBit frowned " Since her so called friends abandoned her." The group could see the pain in WrenchBloom when DrillBit said "friends," they could see that she wanted to cry but they knew crying was for the weak. "Anyway ponies, why not tell us your names?" She looked at them smiling

Trigger Happy scoffed "This is a dying world, all we have to do to is kill to survive, not make introductions."

"Wrong answer," DrillBit cooed

WrenchBloom suddenly opened her eye and ran at full speed towards the four. They started to open fire on the mare, she dogded every bullet then kicked Boom Blast and Trigger Happy in a flash. A rope, she pulled from her bag, wrapped around Broken Meds legs and she tied him up. The tan mare turned to Ranger who had his sword out, she stood properly and her blank expression showed no emotion. WrenchBloom ran to Ranger as he dogded everyone of her kicks and punches, the stallion cut the mare on the cheek lightly. Both ponies panted until a stallion with a gun whacked Ranger in the back of the head knocking him out.

DrillBit smiled "boys, take the prisoners back to base." The stallions grunted in agreement and dragged all four away where DrillBit and WrenchBloom stood.

"WrenchBloom," The black mare started

"I know ma'am" the other replied bowing getting low " I'll get stronger and work harder."

DrillBit made the other mare stand "good, now lets go."

The mares quickly caught up with the stallions that had each of the prisioners on the stallion's backs, except Ranger who was dragged by the tail. When arriving they had left the train station and entered a junk yard just west side of town. Ponies of all sizes where there and all bowed to DrillBit as if she were a Princess, as she entered the junkyard.

"Welcome back, Leader Drill" a mare called out as other joined in welcoming her back.

The prisoners were put inside a small shack where they were chained and had to wear a horse harness. WrenchBloom made sure everything was okay and 'safe' in the junkyard then entered into her small bunker where she looked in a mirror. She hated the look of herself and how disgusted she was of her eye, her right eye. She slowly took off the bandage and her eye was of a different color and misplaced. She couldnt see out of that eye and she started to cry from her left slowly.

"I'm so sorry sis, I shouldn't have taken it but I wanted you to be with me, forever." She no longer had her accent that made her apart of her family. "I know you're not proud of me but everyone left, I have no one" her words started to slow and she wrapped her eye in a new cloth wrap. "I'm alone, I'm lost, I'm broken and I'm sorry."
