The day after they slept in the cave to regain their energy for that day the night before they had all woken up and we're looking outside the cave. They wanted to make sure that they weren't followed by any spies of the mercenaries. They looked all around to make sure that they weren't ambushed by any mercenaries die to them not looking. They had to avoid making that possible mistake.

They soon figured out that it was okay so they all packed their equipment up and headed on out. When they got outside they continued their journey through the decaying lands of Equestria. It was war torn beyond repair but it was still salvageable as some places could possibly be rebuilt. They made sure they weren't being followed.

They had knowledge that they might not just be facing groups of mercenaries that are all working together as one organization but armies of them and that scared them. They had no idea how they would be able to handle armies of mercenaries by themselves. It seemed hopeless. They wondered how they would deal with that.

They were glad at they hadn't run into any mercenaries as of that moment though as they all could use a break from fighting them all the time. It was wearing them out a lot. They saw that they were coming up a tall mountain. Twilight stopped and turned around to her friends and spoke. Her friends stopped to listen to her talk to them about what they had to do that very moment. They needed to know what they had to get done in order to continue to progress any further.

"We are going to have to climb over this mountain in order to get to the destination of where we want to go. We need to make it their as fast as we can. We can't waste anymore time. I brought rope along so it should do us some good." Twilight said. Twilight swung the rope over the rock and it got tied up in a crevice. She ga a good tug to it and knew that it wasn't going to be let go.

She climbed up the rope as fast as she could so that she didn't fall back down. She hoped that she wouldn't get rope burn if she slid down while holding the rope by accident. When she got on top she climbed the rope to her waist and threw it down to her friends. Her friends climbed up it. Twilight had to make sure not to be pulled over the side by accident. She stayed far back and hugged a tree.

They climbed up the rope one at a time so that Twilight wouldn't fall off. Rainbow Dash went went second and then all of the others went last. They made it up the rope and stood on top of the hill and Twilight took the rope off her waste and then they continued their journey by walking to wherever they were going. They needed to get to another safe spot to camp.

Twilight used her binoculars to scope out any mercenaries in possible small concealed pockets in the mountains. To their disappointment their was a couple. Twilight looked back to the sniper rifle they had been carrying. Twilight put a silencer on the rifle and then she aimed the sniper rifle at the mercenaries and fired at them. Her friends knew exactly what she was doing.

Twilight took them all out and they continued walking to their next destination which they were unsure of where that destination was but they knew that they were going to find it. They were persistant and they needed to be. Twilight knew that they were going to win and save Equestria while also saving the survivors who escaped the war and are now hiding in bunkers or caves that are secluded in safe places away from the dreadful slaughter that the mercenaries were commiting against the citizens of Equestria.

Twilight and her friends knew that they needed to find the person responsible for hiring the mercenaries and ordering the attacks on Equestria. Twilight was angry at them as they had taken away piece in Equestria. She was upset that all of their lives were shattered by this evil group but they knew that they needed to stop them.

Twilight's friends understood Twilights anger. They had lost a few friends to these people so they were going to make the mercenaries pay for all the suffering that they put them through. The only problem was is that their were so many of them and they didn't know how long it would take to find the leader and take out the majority of the group.

"I'm going to avenge Equestria. Mark my words! They will pay for all of the crimes they have committed against Equestria. Twilight said to them. They all nodded at her as she was telling the truth. Twilight and her friends made it to a safe place to stay the night. Twilight saw that the girls were all sitting down taking breaks. Twilight decided to sit down by them.

"I don't mean to say this Twilight. But we can't push ourselves. We have to watch our own health and mental well being. We need to make excellent progress but at the same time we need to be smart about this. I sorry Twilight but it's true. Fluttershy is panting she needs a break." She said. Twilight sighed and decided that they were right.

They all set down their stuff in a scoured area as they set up another temporary camp that they could rest at for a while until they rested up and continued their journey. They rested their for a few hours and eventually stayed their that night to. They're made sure not to be caught by the mercenaries.
