Time passed since Speedy’s meeting with Twilight and the group has noticed a drop in Riders activity. Since the plane hijacking the biker gang have been going under the radar to try to make up for what they have lost to Speedy and Clever. Meanwhile during that time the plane has been salvaged by the Ponytropolis police but their investigation found that a decent amount of the weapons were missing. This was due to Clever using a boat and scuba gear from his neighbors that he claimed to ‘borrow’.

Back in Mane County Speedy and Nightshade were chasing the remnants of a rogue Riders convoy that was trying to transport drugs to Ponytropolis. Speedy kept up with the bikers van while Nightshade rode his motorcycle towards the guard bikers and whack them off their bikes. Soon there was only a lead bike and the van as they left the main road and drove onto an old dirt road. The van struggled to gain traction on the loose dirt as it drove into the nearby canyon. Speedy and Nightshade were close behind when the van crashed through a old barrier that had a large sign saying “BRIDGE OUT”.

“Shit! Hit the brakes Shade!” Speedy said through his earpiece as he pressed both feet on the car's brake pedal. The Chargers front wheels locked as the car skidded to a stop as the van driver barely had time to react and hit the lead biker and jumped off the bridge to the bottom of the canyon ending in a fireball below. Speedy was able to stop his car at the edge of the collapsed bridge as Nightshade slid his bike to a stop behind him. Both ponies left their vehicles and looked down into the canyon below to the flaming wreck.

“Well there goes their profits.” Nightshade joked as Speedy gave him a deadpan look. “Still surprised they tried to use the jump to get away. Nopony has been able to make the jump since the bridge collapsed.” Since before Speedy's exile the jump was a old bridge that ran along the side of the canyon between the two small mountains. It is unknown what happened but one time the bridge collapsed and a road had to be built that went around the collapsed bridge. Since then occasional thrillseekers have taken their lives trying to make the jump from one end to the other.

“It more or less surprised me that ponies stopped trying to jump it. But at least it helped us in taking down the Riders.” Speedy said.

“Yeah. Too bad you can't tell Zecora our good deeds to the county.” Nightshade said with a grin and some light laughter.

“Shut up Nightshade.” Speedy said clutching his fist as Nightshade kept talking.

“Oh come on. You two used to be so well together until she broke up with you. Seriously that shows she never had a chance with you. Then to hear she set up a brothel in the county? Ha! Fucking whor-” Nightshade said until his nose was met with a sharp right hook from Speedy. Nightshade spun around then fell to the ground groaning. “Dude! What the fuck?!” Nightshade said as he held his bleeding nose.

“Don't ever speak of her like that ever again! You do not know the pain and suffering she has been through her life. I saved her from being used and killed back in the Zebra lands and you're calling her a whore?! How can you even be called a friend after saying that?” Speedy said yelling at his fallen thestrial friend. Nightshade stumbled to his feet then looked back at Speedy.

“Well….. tell me then.”

“What?”

“Tell me how you and Zecora met.”

“You won't like it.”

“I can take it.”

Speedy sighed “fine. But I warned you.” He said as they both sat down on the hood of the Charger. “It was five years ago back in the Zebra lands. I was a new captain with my own team trying to take down their forces. During the war the zebras used unethical ways of interrogation and torture on their prisoners. Most zebra tribes were used to the harsh actions that were inflicted on themselves. Anyways my team was deep inside the jungles under the orders to protect the locals….”

Five years ago, Jungles of Zebraica

“Hold position” Speedy said into his earpiece as he crouched into the dense foliage around the village. All of his twenty men crew surrounded the small tribe of zebras by hiding in the jungles around the village. The sound of distant movement got his attention as he saw a convoy of zebra military vehicles approaching. “Take mark.” Speedy said as he lifted his rifle as the others around him did as well. “Aim.” he said as the sounds of guns quietly clicking as the wielders aimed at the convoy. “Fire!” Speedy said as they all fired bullets.

The convoy skidded to a halt on the dirt road as the bullets hit the metal and shattered the glass on the lead truck. The zebra soldiers got out of the trucks and started firing back at the ponies protecting the village. Speedy kept firing as multiple zebras fell from their bullet wounds and and raised his hand in a fist calling a cease fire. Soon all went quiet besides the groans of the last remaining zebras dying as the team advanced towards the wrecked convoy.

As they got closer they noticed the soldiers weren't carrying any weapons besides small arms and blunt objects. This confused the army team until Speedy noticed an odd marking on one of the soldiers. He then saw that the marking was actually a brand marking symbolizing a decoy soldiers. “Shit! They're decoys! Arm yourselves men!” Speedy said until the sound of guns firing made the men dropped for cover.

Soon more zebra soldiers arrived and started firing at the army ponies pinning them in their location. “Retreat men! Protect the village!” Speedy said as he and his team ran under the gunfire back to the village. Once there they looked in horror as the homes were set ablaze and all the zebra mares and foals running for cover. The army team fired at the zebra fighters as they were firing at the civilians and the army soldiers. Soon the zebras overran Speedy's team and all were captured except Speedy himself. He kept firing at the zebra army until he was knocked out from behind.

few hours later

Speedy groaned as he awoke to see a zebra standing in front of him. “Good. You're awake” the zebra said as he kicked Speedy’s leg making him groan in pain. Speedy quickly noticed his hands were bound over his head while he had a muddy rag stuffed in his mouth and could only see out one eye as he saw the remainder of the village. All the houses were burned and destroyed while all the villagers were tied up with ropes around their necks. “You woke up in time to see our rituals and luckily enough your worthless army will make great sacrifices.”

Speedy looked and saw his men tied with ropes on their necks and burlap bags over their heads as they were lead to a large stage. The stage had in front a large cauldron connected to pipes that lead to a group of spray nozzles. “To appease the goddess of war we show dominance to our prisoners and bathe in the blood of our victims. Send in the first of the believers!” the zebra said as one of Speedy's men was walked onto the stage. Speedy saw a bound zebra mare led into the spray area by a large naked zebra soldier and forced up against a wall as he forcefully rammed his cock into her pussy.

The mare screamed in pain as she was forcefully raped as the zebras on stage sliced the army pony's throat. His blood poured into the cauldron and soon went through the pipes onto the two zebras as more zebra soldiers and mares were lead into and forcefully raped. Speedy watched in horror and tried to break free of his binds as more of his men were killed. Soon it was only him left as the zebras raped most of the mares. He then noticed a young zebra mare holding a foal in her arms while it was feeding off her breast in which the head zebra soldier noticed too.

“Grab her!” he said as two zebras grabbed the mare and her child. “Try to hide from us huh. Well you are greatly mistaken my dear. Hey captain, you'll enjoy what I'm about to do now.” The zebra then ripped the suckling foal off it's mother and set it on a nearby flat rock. He then picked up a large rock and gave it to one of his men. “Kill the foal and leave nothing but a pile of flesh. I'm gonna claim this mare for my own.” Speedy screamed in fury through his gag as he thrashed in his binds loosening them. As the zebra forced the mare to her knees Speedy gave one final scream as he ripped off the ropes holding his hands and charged at the zebra.

Speedy grabbed the head zebras knife and threw it at the soldier holding the rock hitting him in the eye. The soldier fell dead as Speedy grabbed the gun off the corpse and started firing at the zebra army. One by one the soldiers fell dead as the mares ran for their lives away from the carnage. Speedy kept killing until he heard the trigger click meaning he was out of bullets. As he dropped the gun a sharp pain his his knee as he dropped to the ground screaming. He turned to see the lead zebra holding a smoking high power rifle and the mare bent over his cock.

Speedy tried to get to his feet only for the zebra to fire again and hit his shoulder. He fell to the ground as the zebra pushed the mare off of him and drop the rifle. He walked towards Speedy with a evil grin as he grabbed his knife out of his dead comrade. “Time to die for our war goddess you slave.” he said as he raised his knife only to stop midway as a piece of scrap metal was lodged into his chest. The zebra coughed up blood as he fell to the side and slowly died from the stab wound. Speedy lied his head back and felt the world go black as the mare ran towards him.

Present day

“What happened next?”

“That mare with the foal brought me to a nearby base and nursed me back to health. Never thought zebra breast milk was actually good till then.”

“Wait…… she BREASTFED YOU?!”

“Uh yeah. They didn't have much to give me then and she thought feeding me would be a good repayment for saving her life.”

“So what happened after?”

“Well turns out while I was being treated Celestia sent a letter asking if the mare could be sent over and live in Equestria. She was soon overseas back here within a month.”

“have you kept in touch with her?”

“I'm actually surprised you wanted to hear how me and Zecora first met Nightshade.”

“THAT WAS ZECORA?!”

“yeah it was Zecora. And before you ask no the foal wasn't hers. Her role in the village was caregiver to all the foals in the village. Needless to say all were returned to their parents.”

“Wow…… but how did you two break up?”

“Celestia told her what I did when I returned. Luckily Zecora didn't believe her but I was already gone by the time she went looking for me. Since then I haven't heard much from her besides where her brothel is and I don't know how she'll react if I show up.”

Nightshade looked down for a moment then placed his hand on Speedy's shoulder and gave him a comforting smile. “Just go to her place and talk to her. I bet you ten to one that she misses you a lot. And I'm sorry for calling her out. If I knew how close you two were I would've kept my mouth shut. But if you want to see and talk to her the choice is yours.” he said as he got back on his bike and drove off. Speedy sat there for awhile thinking about what his friend said before getting back in his car and driving off to make his decision.
