Green, Green, More Green, Ed looked at the digital map but only saw a bunch of green. Though were his team was there seemed to be clouds overhead. Ed could only imagine the complaining Rarity was spewing out as AJ probably grew annoyed and yelled at her, then the team would either fight about it or settle down and trudge on. Ed just sighed as he closed the map and looked out to the land before him. The tall grass was everywhere, so much free space and no trees at all, they were practically in a field of green. The slight little rivers here and there but it was beautiful just too see all that open land. Ed was gonna turn too see the other side as well too see if there were anything different but was called by Derpy before he could turn.

"Hey Ed, I'm not sure, but I think I can see something headed this way" She said in a worried tone.

"What's up?" He asked her as he turned around and joined her side.

On the other side of the little choo-choo train he saw more open field for miles. It was the thing in the sky that bothered him. And it was getting close, very fast.

"What is-" Ed waited a little longer as whatever came towards them suddenly started to have a hissing sound and a trail of smoke behind it.

Ed's eyes widened instantly as he recognized what it was coming straight for them. A missile. Ed brought up his pistol to shoot at it but was only rewarded with a clicking sound from his gun. He blinked before quickly bringing it to his face and seeing that the bullet he caught with it earlier to save himself actually damaged the gun. He gritted his teeth as he entered unleashed mode.

"Piece of shit!" He yelled as he threw the pistol as hard as he could at the incoming missile. It shot out so fast it actually pierced the missiles head before exploding. The missile wasn't close to them at all but he could feel the power of it as the explosion sent a shock wave towards them knocking Derpy down and staggering Ed still in his unleashed form. He quickly exited out of unleashed and went towards the conductor seat, pushing the speed to the max as he knew what was coming next.

"Derpy are you okay!" He called out as he looked out ahead too see just more plain land and a forest very far ahead.

Derpy groaned. "I'm fine, what was that though?" She asked as Ed turned around and saw her sitting down, back against the railing.

He walked over to her and took a knee as he put a hand to her chin pulling her face up to him to see if she was alright. He turned her head side to side before retracing his hand.

"I'm pretty sure it was an attack helicopter" Ed said as he looked at out.

"That little thing you made explode was a helicopter!?" She asked confused.

"No no, that was a missile I blew up, the helicopter sent it" Ed said chuckling at her question.

"Oh" She said with a embarrassed look on her face.

"Are you hurt anywhere?" Ed asked giving her a glance as he still looked out for that helicopter.

"Besides a headache, I think I'm good, the simulator takes away pain, but things like stamina, and you're own mental stuff it doesn't take away, I think" She said as she slowly stood up.

Ed helped her up as she stood with a hand against the railing. "Well that's informative" He said before hearing a something in the distance.

He looked out again as this time he saw the helicopter in the distance this time. He sighed as he turned his head the the front of the train looking at the distance between the them and the forest.

"Derpy I think we should be able to make it to the trees fast enough before the helicopter gets withing firing range, we should be fin-" Ed heard a long bang behind him as suddenly something grazed his shoulder causing him to crouch down bringing Derpy down with him.

Ed turned his head towards the left side of the train to see jeeps driving through the fields heading towards them. Ed just sighed before tapping Derpy two times on the shoulder. "Get into the conductor room and hunker down" He said as Derpy nodded and went into the little room with the engine, it wasn't big but there was walls that would stop the bullets from both sides except the entrance which was very open with the fact that the railings didn't help either. Ed looked around till he saw that a piece of the floor was sticking out, on the corner of the train. Ed heard more loud shots as bullets went over his head. He huffed as he quickly crouched walked to the metal piece of floor sticking out and began to pull on it, slowly but surely it began to come apart from the ground or whatever it was attached to. The piece he was dismantling from the floor was bigger than he expected so it too longer to pull out. Suddenly it stopped moving and wouldn't come out. He became angered and worried as he heard more shots being fired the longer he crouched there in the open.

With more strength he pulled on it more till he snapped it off and fell backwards. He landed on his back with almost half a slab of metal in his hands above him. Instinct took over him and he flipped it to his side as it covered more than enough of his body. He heard more shots this time round as the metal could be heard getting hit making an audible banging noise as each bullet hit. He looked at the back of the metal to see that none of it was dented as he smiled and slid it towards Derpy.

"Quick! Cover yourself with that" Ed said as he quickly stood up too join Derpy in the engine room.

As he stood forward with his momentum already aimed at the little room he felt his magic eye activate as he felt a... line of sorts go right through his head. He quickly reeled back seeing a bullet pass his face. More lines pierced his body as he had took a step back, He looked to the left side of the train as the jeeps were closer now and the pirates were visible as Ed could see the lines coming out of the rifles as time seemed to slow again.

He was about to get shot multiple times right now and he didn't know what to do. He was almost frozen as he saw the muzzle flash from the Ak47 one of the pirares had go off slowly as a bullet slid out of it. It was at this stand still that he saw Truth and Judgement suddenly walk into his sights in front of him.

"Evade" Truth said. "Or Block" Judgment said. "Or I can stand here and get shot" Ed thought out loud knowing full well they could hear him.

He mentally sighed as he weighed his options...
