As the Firebird left Vanhoover with it's two occupants Speedy and Applebloom hoped that Sweetie Belle would be in Las Pegasus. As miles of the Equestrian highway passed by as Speedy eagerly drove them closer to their goal. Apple Bloom, drowsy from the long drive leaned back in her seat and dozed peacefully. Soon passing Canterlot Mountain and a glance towards Ponyville the highway passed near the Everfree Forest, unaware of a old black Chevy van nearing them.The highway was where Onyx caught up to them and rammed Speedy's car from behind.
It took several seconds for Speedy to realize what had happened. There was a crash of metal and glass filled the air. His car was lifted into the air as the other vehicle slammed into his with enough force to flip his car off the road. He could see the ground blur from the sickening movement before the front of his own car met a tree, and for a few moments all was black. As the two occupants were knocked out three ponies left the van and pulled them out of the now flaming wreck. Two started to tie them up while one watched the highway for any witnesses.

Sometime later
“Wow!” Speedy’s eyes drifted open at the sound of the voice. A black stallion smiled in mock pleasantness as he looked out over the fiery carnage that had been Speedy’s car. The three stallions close by. A white one and a brown one right next to him, and a black one up on the highway looking down. “It’s really a shame. It was a nice car.” He laughed, making Speedy scowl in disgust.

Speedy knew immediately that he was restrained. His hands were tied behind him; tied very professionally, he noted. The stallion, who Speedy recognized as Onyx, confidently strode down into the ditch alongside the highway, and stood next to another form that Speedy hadn’t noticed at first.

Speedy felt the familiar burn of rage in his chest. He knew these three. Seeing Onyx’s cruel face, he remembered the sister that they had raped, the parents and brother that they had killed. His hands yanked at the ropes around his wrists, his blood boiling. By the time all of this was over, Speedy decided that there needed to be three more corpses in the world.

Apple Bloom had been similarly tied up as him, and he could see her shaking slightly as Onyx drew close, but she maintained a fierce gaze. Onyx grinned at her, but he approached Speedy first.
“Well, doesn’t this bring back memories. Speedy, right? They told me your name, and I’ll admit I didn’t recognize it.” Onyx pointed at him, “I know that face though. The resemblance is incredible. That’s how your brother looked at me about a minute before he bled out.” Speedy glared up in poorly contained rage, and Onyx laughed at the look Speedy was giving him.

“Anger, I love it! It’s a more fierce reaction than what you mother gave. She just sobbed if I recall.” Onyx smiled nostalgically. It took everything in Speedy’s power to stay still. It wouldn’t do him any good to get killed before he had a chance to break free. So in spite of how furious he felt, he stayed still, but he met Onyx’s eyes with all the intensity he could manage. “A mare’s throat always feels better when they’re crying. That look though,” He said, referring to Speedy again, “That’s more like what your cutie of a sister gave. Not quite as hot, but I made due.” Onyx laughed, and turned his attention to Apple Bloom.

Speedy noticed that the other two, Umber and Tinker, were concentrated on their boss, and he subtly knelt backwards and felt along the ground until his fingers were cut slightly on a jagged piece of broken glass from the crash. His fury completely dulled the pain as he began using it to saw through his bonds. Onyx leaned down to look at Apple Bloom, a light of recognition in his eyes.

“Well well, it’s been a while Sweetheart.” He cupped a palm onto her cheek but she ripped her face away quickly. Onyx chuckled and knelt on the ground next to her ripping off her shirt and bra and reached a hand down to fondle her breast, his other hand holding her shoulder to prevent her from shaking lose. She fought to pull her hands free. “I’m surprised to see you again. Running off from your new home like that? I thought I trained my little ones better than that.”

“Get your hands off of me. I’m a might bigger than I was last time.” Apple Bloom hissed. Onyx raised an eyebrow and smiled. He cupped his hand fully around her breast and replied.

“Hm, yeah I can feel that, you should….” Apple Bloom’s head smashed into his nose while he was talking, sending fountains of blood gushing onto the ground. Now! Speedy thought, cutting through the last of his rope. The other two were still stunned from the shock of what Apple Bloom had done and didn’t see him rise. He slit Tinker’s throat before he could react. Umber turned and saw what happened. With a roar, he slammed into Speedy, knocking him to the ground. His hand gripped the one Speedy held the glass in, and he moved his other hand to strangle him.

Onyx tried to rise from the ground, but Apple Bloom held him there, her legs wrapped around his throat, stunning him. He trashed viciously but was unable to break free. “What’s it like to feel helpless? Answer me you bastard!” She screamed at him, watching his face turn red from lack of oxygen.

Speedy was struggling for air himself, unable to break Umber’s strong grip. Thinking fast, he brought his knee up between Umber’s legs, and the stallion fell to the side with a pained wheeze. With Speedy’s arm now free, the glass shard buried itself in Umber’s exposed neck. Lifting himself up, he sprinted over to where Apple Bloom had Onyx restrained.

“Hurry up, I can’t hold him when I’m tied up like this.” Apple Bloom managed to say, her teeth gritted as she struggled to keep a hold of Onyx’s neck. There was a flash of light as the glass slashed downward, and soon the struggling stopped. Speedy stood and took in breaths as he watched Onyx. The stallion stood and looked down at the gash that ran down his chest until he coughed up blood and his intestines fell out the cut. Speedy looked away and walked towards Applebloom and set her free from her binds.

“Thanks” Applebloom said as she stood up, only for Speedy to take off his shirt. “Uh…… whatcha doin?” the young mare asked. Speedy pointed at her causing Bloom to look down at her exposed cleavage. With a embarrassed chuckle she took the shirt and put it on “Right. Thanks” she said as she tucked the shit in. The two then walked towards the van to take anything useful. The two walked away down the road from the accident as sirens were heard in the distance.

The two walked for hours into the night eventually stopping at a roadside diner near Appleloosa. Stopping for a break Applebloom went into the bathroom while Speedy got a table and found a payphone. Applebloom came out to see Speedy hang up the payphone “Fynn will be by in a few hours with the rig to get us. I had to call cause my phone was in the dashboard when the car wrecked. So we got time to eat and rest till then. Still got my wallet” Speedy said as he sat at the table.

As Applebloom sat down a waiter got both their orders and left them with waters. As Speedy drank his water the farm mare spoke up. “So how did you know about those three? The looks you were giving and everything Onyx said showed you know each other.” Speedy sighed and set his glass down. “Yes I knew them Applebloom. Back when I was around your age, maybe a bit younger, they broke into my house and harmed my family. After we hid my little sister I had to watch in horror as those three raped my older sister and mother.”

“My sister put up a fight but was unsuccessful as she was forced down onto her bed and raped. I thought my mom would fight Onyx but….. she just shut down and let him have his way. She didn't even fight him when he stripped her. Around halfway through my brother arrived and heard the commotion. He fought them but failed as Thumper stabbed him in the chest then in the eye. I watched as my brother laid on the ground in a pool of his own blood with a knife in his eye.”

“Once they were done Onyx pulled out a pistol and said there needed to be no witnesses. He shot my mom in the head and put one in my brother just in case then aimed at my sister. Before he could fire I tackled him and took the gun away from him. I shot the two lakeys and aimed at Onyx held them at gunpoint till the police arrived. The trio was sent to prison but after a few years I learned they escaped after they raped a few female guards. This was after I joined the Marines and requested to return as soon as possible to protect my family.”

“My sister's are in Canterlot under protection by the Royal Sister's while I help Fynn with saving sex slaves. Fynn wants me to retire and try to live a peaceful life. But I won't stop till I know I made a impact on Equestria.” Applebloom sat in awe as Speedy told his story about the past. Soon their meals arrived and were soon gone as the two ate and waited for Fynn to arrive. After a few hours the armored semi arrived and Fynn stepped out. “You two are staying with me till we get to Las Pegasus. I'm tired of you almost being killed and you losing cars!” Fynn said irritated as he got back in.

As the two settled into the rigs sleeping quarters Applebloom looked over at Speedy who was laying in his bunk. “Hey Speedy?” the farmer said. “Could I…… could ah sleep with you tonight? I'm just…..” Applebloom didn't need to finish as Speedy lifted the covers and patted the bunk. Applebloom walked over and lied down next to Speedy as he placed the covers back on. As Speedy fell asleep the young mare then wrapped her arms around the taller stallion and held him close to her. As Applebloom traced her fingers along his muscles she felt safe being next to him as the rig drove through the night towards Las Pegasus.
