Days after the last

The group was surprisingly welcoming, and we decided to travel with them. The group consisted of four members, a large earth pony stallion who is referred to as General Hoovestrong, a young pegasus filly with metal prostatic wing name Metal Cloud, and a pair of young Unicorn couple name Nightlight, and Nyonflare.

The group originally came from a small town name Albaneigh. When the undead began to raise, they escaped their home and headed for Canterlot, hoping to find safe haven. Unfortunately, when they arrive, instead of finding the haven they seek, they were greeted by hoards of the undead. Many within their group died, Metal Cloud's parents included. They are now heading for GriffinStone, following a rumor of a sanctuary established there.

We stopped for the night at an abandoned farm, most of the food had either rotted or been scavenged. Luckily we bought plenty for every ponies.

"What are you? Are you a Unicorn?" Metal Cloud climbed onto AoBing's back and begin poking at his horns.

"I suppose you could say that. Although the correct term would be a Qilin," AoBing replies with a smile. Metal Cloud quickly jump off AoBing and hid behind me, after seeing the sharp teethes that was shown the with smile. "Don't worry little one, I mean you no harm," AoBing tries to console the filly. But MetalCloud only got more frighten as AoBing steps forward.

"Quit while ya ahead. He'll warm up to you eventually, but right now just give him some space." General Hoovestong stopped AoBing, by placing a hoof on him. AoBing thought for a moment, but finally agreed, and moved back. "I have to admit, I was surprised to find an Alicorn, a Dragon and a Qilin on the side of the road. May I ask where you three came, and where you three plans to go?" We looked at each other, unsure of future plans. "No matter, if you three so wishes, you three could travel with us." General Hoovestong smiles.

"We would be honored,“ Twilight thanked the General.

”So how did you three ended up together?" Nyon Flare asked, curious of how the three creatures of legends ended up on the side of the road. While Twilight tried to tell the story, she was cut off by AoBing. AoBing told a story of tears and blood, saying how he and Twilight felt in love when he came to this beautiful land, and planned to run away together only to run into the zombie outbreak, during this time they found me who's mother were rip limb from limb by the zombies trying to protect me. They rescued me, and we traveled together ever since. While Metal Cloud and Nyon Light listens to AoBing's crazy story, I saw Nightlight rolling him eyes and General Hoovestrong wearing a knowing smile out of the corner of my eyes.

" ...We stood our ground, and ready to protect the weak and defenseless baby, when we saw you guys" AoBing Finished the story, Metal Cloud now no longer appear to be afraid of AoBing claps while General Hoovestrong just smiles at the corner.

"Who knew you were so good at making up stories, lover boy," I walked up and whispered into his ears.

"Well, I heard enough stories, it's only natural I'm good at telling them. right? our weak and defenseless baby," AoBing countered with a smirk. Twilight shake her head in disapproval in the corner as Nightlight walked up to her for the real story.

We rested at the farm that night, and before daybreak, we returned back on the road. Metal Cloud rides on the back of General Hoovestrong as they talk and laugh between themselves, a sight that reminded me of Twilight and me before this all happened.

Suddenly, we were stopped by a loud voice saying, "Hand over all the supplies and every pony walks away unharmed." Unicorns with their horns fully lit walked out of the trees and moved towards us. Their apparent leader is a Gray Unicorn without an ear. Twilight and AoBing was ready to fight back, but General Hoovestrong waved them down.

"While I have no doubt you two can hold your own, and I may also be able to take out a few of them myself. the Two squirts and lovebirds over there can't. We can find more supplies, we can't undo any injuries." General Hoovestrong unloaded most of the supplies on the caravan and ask the mugger to let us keep a small portion, for us to survived on. The leading unicorn thought for a moment but refused. He demanded that we hand over all our supplies. General Hoovestrong sighed, and in a split second, Nightlight, NyonFlare, Metal cloud and I was surrounded by a magical barrier that protected us. "Good, you understood my hints." General Hoovestrong smiled, as the gray unicorn realized what had just happened. But before anyone of the unicorn could unleash their spell, the ground beneath them shook, and every unicorn felt to the ground, spells flying into the air.

“Stay down, if you know what is good for you," A thundering voice that sent chills down my own spine echoed. AoBing's eye once again gone red, and his horns fully charged. All of the unicorns were trampling on the ground, not one dare to got up. none but the gray unicorn.

"Oh, I am so scared. What you going to do, kill me? You are all bark and no bites, give me your best shot." The gray unicorn Stood before AoBing and with a lit horn. but before magic could even leave his horn, AoBing moved before him. In one swift motion, AoBing swept the Gray unicorn off his hooves and pinned him to the ground using magic.

AoBing walked up to the gray unicorn, placing his claws on his neck, and slowly drag it down his neck. Then looked him in the eye， “Kill you? Now that is a thought, but not one that will send a message. And if a message isn't sent, there will be more that comes." What happened next, shocked every pony, AoBing lifted his back hoof, then stomped down on the gray unicorn's horn, shattering it. The gray unicorn lets out a scream of agony, but AoBing wasn't done. Each one of the Gray unicorn's legs begins to bend, and before any pony could stop him, a loud cracking sound echoed across the air, AoBing had broken all four of the gray unicorn's leg. "Death is swift, Death only hurts for a moment before it all ends. If you dare to cross me, I'll make sure you'll wish I'd killed you," AoBing looked at the now horrified and in agony unicorn in the eye and smiled. AoBing then turns back to the rest of the unicorns and said, "Take him back, while his corn won't heal, if treated soon, he should be able to walk again in about a month. Now take the message and spread it, this group is under my protection, and any pony who comes will end up worst than him." With that, the unicorns got up and ran off carrying the gray unicorn with them.

"WHY!?" Twilight jumped on AoBing, demanding for him to explain himself. But she was pulled off of AoBing by General Hoovestrong. AoBing silently got up and walked towards the caravan, as the barrier around us came down. "He didn't have to do that. We could have just beaten them. There was no need for such brutality." Twilight screams at AoBing who is reloading the supplies back on the caravan. Metal Cloud displayed a mix emotion of shock, angry, fear and concern. While the unicorn couple remained stunned by what they had just witness.

"Stop Princess," General Hoovestrong stopped Twilight. "He did what must be done. If we had just taken them down, they would have regrouped and took revenge. And we won't be able to protect those four if they have. He installed fear into their heart, and they won't come again. If the gray pony hasn't got back up, perhaps it could had gone better, but the pony did, and he had to make sure the seeds of fear do not leave their heart." General Hoovestrong tried to explain for AoBing, but Twilight wasn't listening. She walked up to AoBing and hit him on the muzzle with her hooves, as an Alicorn, Twilight has the strength of an earth pony, and the hit drew blood. But AoBing continues to reload the supplies while blood drips down his muzzle. Twilight hit AoBing over and over again, demanding for him to defend himself, explain himself, but all he did was continue reloading in silence, and more blood drips down.

Finally, after reloading everything, AoBing said quietly "Let's go, we need to find shelter before it gets dark.
