This is crazy, but I hope he's right...

"Memorized what you need to say?" Dragon asked.

"Eeyup" Blossom responded.

"Hold on. I ain't sending you out there without some armor and a gun." Dragon Blazer trotted off into the garage.

He came back with a piece of armor in his mouth, offering it to the mare. Blossom smiled at his a bit, taking the chest piece and quickly putting it on. Dragon Blazer soon went back to the other room and came out with a pistol. Blossom Cherry took it from him.

"The armor may be a little weighty, but it shouldn't affect you too much."

Blossom Cherry was too busy putting on the armor to respond.

"Remember what rules to follow out there?" Dragon Blazer asked when she finished.

"Be Aware, Be quick on your feet, and..." Blossom trailed off trying to remember.

"Don't pull a trigger unless you have to."

Blossom nodded, then tilted her head at him. "What will you do while I'm gone?"

"I'm going to tear down the boards over the windows and start fortifying the place." Dragon looked around, then back to the mare. "Don't forget to grab some food and healing potions in case."

The mare just nodded and went to grab a small saddle bag. Dragon Blazer went to work kicking the boards out from the windows, listening to them hit the dust outside. Blossom soon left with her small bag of supplies to head back to her Stable and discuss their idea.

It had been a few hours since she left, Dragon had built some barricades out of the small bit of wood he had on the windows. He managed to build a few turrets on the roof of the station with what else he scrounged out from the nearby areas. Not particularly big in caliber, but they will have to do for the time being. Dragon Blazer had his own gears working of a full fledged plan.

Over the horizon, Dragon could see Blossom coming back with about five other ponies. Blossom Cherry was feeling rather safe having these five security ponies following her. Each one had a certain weapon assigned to them. Dragon Blazer came out of the station to meet them.

"Quite the squad you got there." Dragon said to the mare.

"Five of the best Stable 42 guards." Blossom chimed, trotting up and standing next to the pegasus.

Dragon took a good long look at the security ponies in front of them. He noted the rocket launcher strapped to the back of one earth pony, the minigun saddle on the other pegasus, both unicorns had different shotguns, and the last pony had a rifle saddle.

"You ponies have enough ammo for those guns?" Dragon Blazer asked, a bit curious.

They all nodded in unison.

Dragon leaned in close to Blossom's ear. "I didn't know you're stable had quite the arms." He whispered.

"Neither did I" She whispered back.

Dragon and Blossom led the group inside. Dragon had a small map on the counter sitting next to a couple of pictures. The five security ponies stood at attention on one side of the desk, helmets on still and visors down to cover their faces. Dragon and Blossom stood on the other side, looking at them. Then Blossom started to play something on her Pip-Buck.

"Greetings, the pony known as 'Sparkle-Fury,' I'm the Overmare for Stable 42." A voice began on the recording. "As I'm aware, you save our scout from danger and have a plan for out Stable to live out in the wasteland. It seems like a crazy idea and I have no reason to trust you, but I will for now. Along with the scout should be five of the best ponies on the Stable 42 Security Force. They have been assigned to work with you as well as put you down if should be really be a raider."

Dragon looked down at the Pip-Buck with the only raised brow that wasn't clawed off.

"My scout seems to believe you're intentions are to help us, so I'm trusting her to make sure this message reaches you." The recording stopped with a beep.

"Well, now that's out of the way. As a team, we will be taking Sparkle-World for those goddess-damned slavers that inhabit it."

Blossom's draw dropped out of sheer surprise.

"The park itself is split up into different sections: Bottling Plant, Fluttershy's Forest, Braeburn Canyon, Party Palace, Future Zone, and Sparkle-Town." Dragon's hoof pointed to each spot on the map. "The slavers main hub is Sparkle-Town and haven't been able to reach the other parks. Either out of sheer laziness or there are some nasties keeping them out."

"Well, if the raiders couldn't get anywhere, why would we?" One of the security ponies asked.

"We aren't the raiders... so out first move will be to take over the surrounding parks before we go after Sparkle-Town." Dragon explained. "These raiders follow a pony only known as the 'Overboss' and the right hoofed stallion named Sickle."

The ponies just looked at the pictures of a scarred up stallion and a heavily armored pony.

"Where do we begin?" Blossom asked.

Dragon smirked a bit and pointed a hoof to the map. "Fluttershy's Forest. There's a treehouse in the center of that park we could place a sniper. Only one problem."

"What is it?" The rifle pony asked.

"The park is overrun with some beasties that took my left eye. I call 'em Demonclaws."
