We kept walking but i noticed that Luna has been walking closer to me then normal. I glanced over at her and noticed her... Hopping "What are you doing?"

Luna kept hopping as she talked "I am playing a game! I am trying to not step on any of the cracks, oh and i am hopping to try and see if i can fly!" I looked down and saw that the ground was pretty much only cracks

"Huh... Good idea, i guess..." I shrugged a bit and let he do her thing. But we both stopped moving completely when we heard a few screams and gun shots coming left of us quite a distance a way

Luna looked a bit scared "We... We need to see if who ever they are need help!" I sighed, it could end up with us being dead because we ended up getting into something we cant handle

"Grr... Alright fine, lets go" I started running towards the scream as Luna tried to keep up

When we reached the reason of the scream we saw a large group of ponies with guns firing at buffalo who where just ignoring the none fatal bullets as they charged. Buffalo and ponies where dropping like flies, from my experience here the buffalo are most likely the ones who are the attackers but i couldn't know for sure but while it may end up with me making a really bad mistake i got up on my back paws and took out my throwing spears. I threw one into the side of a buffalo but it just ignored the spear and kept charging "Damn... These things but me on some kind of combat drug... Maybe Rage..." I put my throwing spears away and took out my guard spear "Well... I would get more direct hits with this..." I jumped up and flew towards the buffalo with the spear in its body, when i got close enough i stabbed it in the neck and the forced made both of us roll on the ground, after a bit of talon slashes and hoof punches i ended up on top of the buffalo. I ripped the spear out of his neck and repeatedly stabbed the buffalo in the face until it finally stopped moving, the combat just stopped as all eyes turned to me but i didn't falter. I grabbed my spear out of the bloody mass that was once a face and i charged at one of the stunned buffalo, i leaped over the buffalo and with one claw i managed to reach around the buffalo's neck and slash his jugular and with the talons holding the spear i threw my spear into the buffalo another buffalo's head. But even after the one cool motion i ended up falling on my face "Ah goddesses damn it..."

I got up and saw one buffalo charge at me as the battle resumed, i tried to get back into stance but i didn't have time and the buffalo was able to stab into my torso with his horns, everything froze in my eyes. The whole world just stood still, i heard of this once... When someone is about to die everything stops and they get a moment to reflect. Once i got that thought out time sped up again and my vision slowly turned black...

I woke up slowly feeling my lower torso burning in pain, probably where i was stabbed. I saw Luna and quite a few ponies i don't know standing over me, well no i knew one but that was only from seeing her in the battle "Ugh... Where the hell am i?..."

Luna opened her mouth to explain but a large male pony wearing strange almost tribal armor cut her off "You are in the tribe of the Red Hooves" Luna just plopped on her flank and glared a bit at the pony. I forced my self i hold in a chuckle at Luna's reaction

"Right... Red Hooves... Tribe... Fun..." But once i saw done being sarcastic i sat up quickly, realizing the information i was given "Woah wait! I saved a group from a tribe!? Huh... Thought i was killing tribal people where i attacked the buffalo..."

The large pony laughed "Oh you did, you where killing a aggressive druggy tribe called the Wild Buffalo, not a very creative name huh?"

I thought for a moment "Druggy huh? That why they weren't being effected by my attacks as much as they should have?"

The large ponies face went a bit dark "Yes... Sad part is that almost all drugs out side of the valley you will find is made by them... And used by them... Using a large amount of different drugs they mange to get into a state where they will attack anything that is not a buffalo and they loose the ability to feel anything so they can fight until they are dead with no restraints..." I sighed, that was a bad mix

I tried to get up to see if i could do anything but when i tried to a large shot of pain zipped threw my body, i tensed up due to the pain and fell on my face "Goddesses... Damn it..."

The female pony i saw back at the fight laughed really hard "Tak ya mono chikon!" I looked at her confused as i forced my self back onto the quite... Low quality bed "O-Oh sorry..." She started speaking something i can understand "What i say was, silly chicken fall on face lots" And then i wished i didn't know what she said because my talons started to feel quite hungry for a female ponies blood...

I sighed and saw Luna holding back a laugh "Ugh... You can laugh Luna..." And right when i said it Luna broke into the loudest laugh i have ever heard, i never though a cub could make me feel this bad just by laughing...

I sighed one more time and after i tried to force my self up out of the bed again and this time with success. And while i was able to stand up and walk the wound still hurt quite a bit, i dug threw my bag and took out a health potion but the large male pony ripped it from my hands "No! Health potions are unholy and unnatural!"

Luna thought for a moment "Unnatural?... But when i checked the ingredients label it said it was all natural..."

The large male pony scoffed "Natural? Ha! Everything from the old world is unnatural" I took back the health potion

"I am not part of this tribe, i can use what i want" I popped open the top and chugged down the health potion, i felt the large wholes in my torso slowly close mostly "Well... I guess i healed up enough to move and maybe fight..." I stood up on my back paws and took out my spear, slashing the air a bit to make sure i was healed enough "Ya... I should be good..." I put my spear on my back once again. and got geared up "Oy, you" I looked at the large male pony, and everyone looked shocked at how little i am caring about who he is "These Wild Buffalo sound like a issue for everyone and everything involved. So you willing to pay me or something if i kill them? Of course only the ones that fight back..." They all froze, seeming really shocked

The large male pony stepped up "If you do that and come back alive i guess we can find something to give you but... I don't think your will come back alive..."

I just laughed "We will see about that, lets go Luna..."
