Something inside her snapped back at the castle. It was almost as if someone broke a pinkie promise. Except for this time... It was worse. No amount of apologies would make up for what they did to Sombra. No amount of saying you were sorry would bring his family back. That's why pinkie decided to go first in this mission.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Okay Shining... What exactly do you mean by 'the crystal ponies have Cadence and Flurry?" Twilight managed, trying to hold onto some optimism.

"They said she was practicing black magic, and since Flurry was a child of such black magics, that they had to be burned. They're supposed to be put to the stake three days from now..." The stallion lost it. He started crying. "I... I failed her. I failed them. My wife and child... Please, Twily... Please save them."

Sombra slammed his hooves on the table. Everyone present looked at him, albeit somewhat surprised.

"Shining Armor, was it? You didn't fail your family. No one fails the ones they care about. Not when it comes to those damned crystal ponies. You were right to ask for help. I'll save your family." Sombra said, a look of resolve in his eyes. "I won't let them do this to someone else. I won't give them the option to do this ever again."

"Sombra... What do you mean someone else?" The downtrodden stallion asked, seeming more surprised that Sombra would do this for him than that Sombra was here.

"They took my family from me about a thousand years ago. I thought that they would have learned. Ms. Pie, I need those supplies for a party in which sunshine gets blown up." Sombra said, never looking away from Shining Armor.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pinkie ran back to her house at this. She pressed the other banister. Not to be confused with the one that lead to her party cave. No. It lead into the room only three ponies really knew existed. Her, Sombra, and Pinkimena. She loaded the cart with crates, figuring that the girls would insist on joining as well. She grabbed Pinkimena's chainsaws and Sombra's armor.

She rushed back, still having not said anything other than what she had back at the castle.

Moments later, she was back at the castle, only to see that the girls had indeed insisted on coming.

"Umm... Pinkie...? What are those?" Rainbow Dash asked, her eyes wide.

"Oh... These? These are operation Bring Your Own Bomb." Pinkie said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She felt Pinkimena tug at the controls.

'Not yet, sweetie. We need to wait until we're at the crystal empire or we might hurt our friends.' Pinkie said to Pinkimena.

'Okay honey... I'll try to resist.'

(None of this interaction happening with herself was out loud.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They waited on the next train in silence, their unspoken mission too heavy. Pinkie wore a grin somewhere between worried and excited, though why her face was like this she wouldn't know. A few minutes more of waiting and the train arrived. As Twilight began explaining the importance of this ride to the crystal empire, Pinkie began to pull the crates onto the train.

"Excuse me, Ms.Pie, But I'm afraid that you can't bring crates onto the train without a pass." The conductor said.

"I'm sorry, i was just SOOO excited for this party, because we were going to have a real good time." Pinkie replied, not skipping a beat.

Her and the Conductor had worked out a secret code. If she were running weapons from one city to another she would have replied with the code Sorry! I must have forgotten they were there.... And in those instances the conductor would have hidden them in a secret compartment on the train that only they could access. But as the case was, the code she fed him meant that she was going to war and needed these with her while strategy was talked.

He let her on the train with her crates.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pinkie and her friends were escorted to a very special car on the train, and they didn't have to pay the usually outrageous price that most had to pay for this kind of luxury. They were alone, in a car especially reserved for Pinkie on occasions such as this.

"Pinkie... What-" Rainbow Dash had started before Pinkie cut across her.

"First, I'll explain this car of the train and why I was allowed to keep these crates. I'm the kind of pony that the gen pop passes off as strange and simply waves off everything I do as 'Pinkie being Pinkie'. That's both the truth and isn't. I was employed by government run organizations, who wish to remain anonymous, to run guns and fight wars, due in no small factor to my ability to get away with being suspicious without drawing suspension. This car was designed for me to plan said wars, and there is a hidden storage compartment to hide weapons. Second, those crates are filled with weapons. I think it's time for a wipe out of a certain nation."

All except Sombra let their jaws drop. Pinkie told him soon after he came to town, since he wasn't fooled by the act. She even taught him the codes. Most of which were references to songs...

"Now, let's get down to business. In these crates i have, of course, weapons and enhancers. Starting with me and working clockwise, we'll look in the crates and choose." Pinkie stated. She took only a moment to grab her reflex enhancer and the chainsaws.

Twilight grabbed an enhancer labeled magic. Fluttershy looked inside the crates and decided on a bag labeled Ancient Blood. No doubt planning on using Flutterbat. Rarity decided upon a bottle of pills written in a language only she, Pinkie, and Sweetie Drops could read. Rainbow Dash picked up a strength booster. Applejack grabbed a couple of guns and a pouch of grenades, along with the bullet belts and a utility belt filled with ammunition. Sombra finally got to choose. He decided on a magic enhancer as well as some armor upgrades. Everyone took a moment to brief themselves on their choices, asking Pinkie Pie how long the effects would last for the enhancers, finding that each lasted about fifteen minutes per ounce. She passed on the warning that they shouldn't consume more than 3 ounces per day, as that could get messy.

"Now that we have our weapons," Pinkie started, "We need to divide the city into sectors and decide who gets what sector. that will determine who gets off the train in what order. I'll take the most immediate area of the town, buying you six some time. Twilight, I suggest you take this area."

Pinkie divided the city into parts and showed each where they were to go.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pinkie took three of her tablets, figuring that would be more than enough for her sector. She leaned back with a smile as she finished slipping her hooves into her chainsaws. She gripped the inside handles and pressed the buttons. As the motors on these lovely weapons of destruction started up, she reached into the dangerous part of her mind.

'Oh, Honey! It's all yours!' She spoke to herself.
Pinkimena rushed forward and kissed Pinky. 'I promise i won't get us killed!' she replied before rushing towards the controls.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pinkimena took the controls, guiding her hooves along the handles, overjoyed that her special somepony had remembered her preference. She felt the tablets Pinkie had ingested starting to kick in. She ran towards the first wave of the crystal militia.

She saw them pause on the street, staring at her while she stood staring at them. She felt their judging eyes gaze over her.

She decided to shout to them, because she was of the impression that if those ponies were going to die, they might as well hear something badass. Or maybe she just wanted to say it. Definitely one of those two.

"I've been thinking of branching out into rock candy cupcakes... Wanna help me?"

That's when all Tartarus broke loose.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pinkie watched with glee as her special somepony began her dance with the crystal ponies. She felt somthing was missing, however... Music! She ran to their record player and put on some electro-swing music a friend had showed her. That's better Pinkie thought to herself. She returned her gaze to the viewing screen, pleased that she had chosen the right music.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pinkimena gave out a demented chuckle as Lyre Le Temps' Looking Like This started playing. It was oddly an appropriate choice she thought as she ripped through a pony with her chainsaw. 'That's one of the reasons I love her'

Pinkimena swirled and twisted as spears and blades of all sorts whizzed towards her, easily dodging each. As she would move her head out of the way in this dance of death, she would lean in towards the attacker and shove her righteous chainsaw through their body. it would resist their crystal-like flesh for a moment, sure. But as the tiny blades whirled around on their conveyor belt, they would grab bits of the flesh and tear it away, causing it to quickly make it's way inside and rip apart their organs. As each of her dance partners got the chainsaw, splatters of blood would cover her coat. The smell of this great, life-giving liquid reached her nostrils. Ah~ she did love the scent of the iron and other minerals mixing round in the liquid. After all, she was a rock farmer at heart.

This reminder brought her to new levels of excitement. She was mining a new form of crystal her family would only ever dream of touching! Each kill fueled her adrenaline, but that didn't effect her pacing.

One crystal pony had decided to get a little cocky and throw an explosive while another was firing their gun. She danced around the bullets and gently batted the grenade back, causing the shrapnel to embed itself inside the bomber's brain. She continued dancing toward the gunner. She danced around him a moment before shoving a chainsaw through his middle, taking another to his neck. Slowly it made it's way through, causing no small amount of blood to splatter across her face. She licked her lips before returning to the more dangerous side of her mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Pinkie! I'm home!' Pinkimena announced.
'Did you have fun, sweetheart?' Pinkie replied.
'Of course! By the way, nice choice of musical accompaniment!'
'Who knows herself better than me?'
Pinkimena chuckled as she kissed Pinkie.
'No-one.'
