Cyber's Point of View

Treble and I are shaking in fear. Everything we just witnessed...just did...we have never seen or had to do before. We could see the light at the end of the cave to the outside world, but we didn't know what was awaiting us. Our only hope of knowing about what was outside this entrance cave to the Stable just had his head blown off. I levitated out the gun that I looted from that pony...my first kill. I wasn't sure what to think of that, but it was in self defense...And judging from what all we just saw, it was safe to assume that the outside world was survival of the fittest...but I should wait to make assumptions until we Treble and I get out of here.

I levitated this gun in front of my face, confused on what exactly made it fire and just overall wondered how it worked, and how necessary it was to have one once we meet with the outside world. I looked at my pipbuck and went under the file labeled ITEMS, then noticed a new file showed up, it was simply labeled WEAPONS. I went over to it and saw two things, STABLE 82 RIOT BATON and 12G SAWED OFF SHOTGUN. I guess that was what this gun was called. I looked through the rest of the files as we walked. Noticing that STABLE 82 RIOT ARMOR and STABLE 82 RIOT MASK were now in my APPAREL file. I noticed yet another new file labeled ammo. I scrolled over to it and opened it up, seeing one thing show up reading 12G SHOTGUN SHELL, then it showed me how many I had, which happened to be eight. I guess that was what those red cylinders that went into the sawed off shotgun were called.

I opened up the shotgun and two opened up shells came flying out, then I put in two of the shells in, one for each barrel, then closed it. It locked in with a soft click.

"Please be careful with that Cyber, neither one of us have ever used one before. We should probably get some practice in with them before we fight anypony with them. I hope it doesn't come to that though." Treble said, I could tell from the sound of her voice that she was exhausted and scared. Couldn't blame her either.

"Your probably right...but I hat to say that it might come to that. I mean look what just crawled into the Stable when the door opened. And we saw that there is probably other ponies out here, but I wouldn't sat that most of them are friendly. We should at least keep our guard up." I said.

"Well...that does make sense. But...do you think we can find a safe place to rest before we do anything. If it's okay with you." Treble said, I wasn't going to deny it either.

"Agreed, I was pretty much thinking the same thing. We'll find a place to crash, then figure stuff out in the morning." I said.

"Okay...let's get out of this cave...it's really cold." Treble said.

She was right to, it seemed that the closer we got to the cave exit, the colder it got. And I think I could here wind now, and I don't mean like the cool breeze of air that the Stables air conditioner let off, I mean actual heavy winds. I guess I can just add that to the list of things I have never seen or witnessed.

Treble and I were probably about ten yards away from the exit now. All it was was a simple wooden door that was connected to a perfect, pony sized hole that had outside light piercing through the cracks of the wood. Every time I heard a gust of wind particles of a white looking powder would come through the cracks. It was definably colder up here.

I looked over at Treble.

"You ready to see what's out there?" I asked.

"Not really, but we don't have much of a choice...do we?" Treble asked, she now sounded even more tired then when we first came out of the Stable.

"I'm afraid not." I said as I used my magic to open the door.

As the old, wooden door opened the powerful winds seem to almost push Treble and I back into the cave. It was snow...snow and ashes. It was in the middle of winter. Perfect...now we had to worry about not freezing to death as well as figure out where to go and what to do. I looked over at Treble, she didn't say anything, but I could tell be how she was looking at our new world that she didn't like it one bit so far...and neither did I.

"Well...I guess we should find a house now." I suggested.

"Yea...that sounds good." Treble responded.

"Well...do you just want to walk straight and see what we run into?" I asked.

"It's not like we have any better leads." Treble said.

"Alright then...put your riot mask down so the snow and ash doesn't get in your eyes. It's bad enough we can't see ten feet in front of our own faces, lets prevent it from getting worse." I said as I used my magic to put my mask over my face.

"Smart." Treble said as she reached up and pulled down the riot mask over her face.

"Don't get any further than about ten feet away, that way we don't get separated. Let's start walking." I said as I levitated the sawed off shotgun out in front of me and activated my riot shield.

I walked past Treble and took my first step onto ground that wasn't the metal from the Stable. It was not only soft but also freezing to the touch. I shivered as I felt Treble rub up against my side.

"Holy shit it's cold." She said, I could practically feel her shaking. "You aren't going to have to worry about me getting any further than a foot away from you if the weather stays like this."

"Hey...that's fine by me. The closer you are the better I feel." I said, trying to keep a grip on the riot saddle's pressure plates. I really didn't want this shield folding over.

"Good...cause I'm not leaving your side." She said, I had zero problem with this.

I stopped and looked down at my pipbuck. Above the compass was now small, green lined triangles. I think I learned about these when I first got my pipbuck. I think they marked important locations. I pulled up the map and saw how close the nearest location was, which was about a mile to my right. I guess that was where we were heading.

"That where we're going?" Treble asked, I guess she was looking at my pipbuck as well.

"Yep." I said.

"Let's get there quick." Treble said as we started to head out to what we hoped would be our new home. But as soon as I took a step to my right *CLICK* a pressure plate went down under my hoof.

"Don't move, and especially don't lift up your hoof!" A light, robotic voice screamed in the same area of the Stable cave.

I looked over and saw a familiar, black coated and haired unicorn walk out of the Stable doors.

"Loose Screw?" I said, Treble had a look of confusion on her face.

"Yep." Loose Screw said as she walked out of the cave and next to Treble and I.
