I saw the looming spire finally within reach, I hoped dearly that I wouldn't be shot for trespassing, once I finally made it to the wall of the structure I simply stared in awe, the gigantic structure was probably taller than anything humans have ever constructed, the top of the spire reaching above the clouds it was surrounded by, I shut off the truck and approached the wall. I knocked my hand against the surface, it's surface was plasticy in texture, it was probably pretty thick if it had so much weight on it, I looked around it, I could only see a few of the inhabitants, they still looked like tiny dots from this distance, I looked closer, I saw that it looked Pony-esque, nothing else was clear enough to make out, I had no clue if they were at all hostile so I just kept my distance, because although I couldn't really die, getting shot or stabbed was still unbelievably painful.

"So uhh where did you say she went exactly?" Rainbow Dash said before she took off

" I said South, if you can't see her from an altitude of 400 decahooves, that means we need to keep moving." I said as she rose into the sky." it has been 4 hours since we left the train, we haven't seen much evidence that she has been here other than several hundred feet of tire tracks and some hoof prints, I've brought along some spells to aid in tracking her, but we haven't had mich luck. I kept mulling possible motives over in my head, none immediately jumped out, nor could I find any good reasons to go to the badlands, even though it was desolate,making it ideal for hiding it was still teeming with very hardy and vicious creatures, which in most reasoning eliminates most of the benefits.

"Hey Twi? I see a little silver dot near the hive!" Rainbow yelled down, I armed myself with binoculars and flew up to meet her, thank goodness Celestia removed my flight and magic restrictions temporarily.

"Umm, hold on, Oh! I see it...is...Is it moving?" I looked at the little silver dot near the hive, it seemed to be moving, I was unsure if my eyes were playing with me, so I asked Rainbow.

"Yeah it is, it's gotta be her, Let's go get em!" rainbow dash basically yelled before shooting off, I saw a rainbow trail forming behind her as she screened towards the thing we hoped was Nova.

"Come on Pinkie, try to keep up, I don't want to loose her," I shouted down at pinkie who immediately yelled back.

"Okie dokie loki," she said as she bounced off. I flew off after Rainbow, from this distance the little sliver dot was clearly the truck that Celestia described to me, I saw the truck swap to air mode and suddenly fly directly west. Rainbow pulled off a right angle turn and shot off after it. When I caught up I found Rainbow pinning down a very ragged Nova.

"Rainbow....You can get off her now,"

"You sure Twi? Remember everything she did back at the castle?"

"I'm sure, now just get off her..." Rainbow slowly edged off while I kept an eye on Nova to make sure she didnt act irrational again. She got up and dusted off a bit and looked like she was about to speak when pinkie popped out of nowhere.

"ooOOOooohh, Twily you found your niece! Now we can have a welcome hope partayyy!!" I looked at Nova who was now a lot angrier

" How many FUCKING times do I have to hammer it through your ignorant fucking head, I AM NOT RELATED TO THIS PURPLE BASTARD!" Nova shouted at pinkie who didn't seem to care much. I recoiled a bit at the wording she used.

" Now Nova Don't be more irrational you're already in enough trouble as is.... Lets not make it worse."

"I'm the one in trouble? I'm the one in to trouble!? Says the ignorant motherfucker that started this mess and got off the hook easy! For what you did you should have been fucking EXECUTED! You heartless piece of shit...." everyone's jaw dropped, my eyes started to water, I really had gotten off the hook easy, compared to what she'd been through. I looked at the ragged and dirty figure standing before me, she had lost everything, then I saw her draw her pistol and point it at me.

"Please don't.... I....I'm sorry....." I heard a mechanical click as the weapon was readied. I looked up to see her with a completely serious face and knew it was over.

" anyone moves or tries something stupid I'll shoot...." Rainbow and Pinkie stood stock still, eyes watery, Pinkies mane deflated. I looked her in the eyes, the pistol pointed right between my eyes.... I closed my eyes and prepared for the inevitable,

"NOOOO!!!!" I heard my companions scream before 'BANG!'
.......
.......
I opened my eyes, expecting to be dead, I looked up.... Time seemed to slow, I saw Nova falling over, the pistol vaguely pointed to her head, a sinister grin on her face. Blood smattering out the opposite side of her head.....she committed suicide..... What have I done.

"NOOOOOO!!!" I screamed along with my friends as time resumed and I saw Nova fall to the dirt.

Author's Note

Story is about half-3/4 done, maybe, and once I edit this story I hopefully will make it more fluent and I'll rework some of the chapters for continuity and readability.
