"This is Sun Down. My town." Orange said as the walked. "A merchant town to be exact..." "Best trading in these parts." She bit her lip looking me over. "Just say you're a Unicorn."

“ I will. I can’t afford to be caught.” I said. We slowly walked up a hill trying to get to the entrance.

“I hope so..." But when we did we saw a massacre. There were dead ponies everywhere. Raiders to Merchants to Guards. The front gate even seemed to be torn off. "What the hay happened here?" Orange said in shock her eyes wide as she slowly shook her head in disbelief. "M-my home!" She squeaked falling forward feeling too weak to stand up any longer.

“It looks like Raiders came and destroyed the place.” I told her. She slowly got up as she began to hurriedly walk towards the entrance only to trigger a cheaply made tripwire. Setting off a trap. “Looks like they set traps everywhere. Better be careful.” A loud bang was heard as she got blasted off her hooves as she landed on her side. With her right side red with blood as a shotgun fired. Held together for the trap.

“WHO’S THERE!” I yelled. I heard maniac laughing echoing throughout the town. That had blood painted everywhere. With ponies dead everyone. Some even crucified.

“We got another!"

"I know!" Two high pitched voices squeaked in glee.

"I don't want to die!" Orange wailed on the floor crying as her side leaked blood.

“You’re not going to die. Not today.” I told her. There was loud poof sound as a metal rocket soared in Orange's direction. I flew in front of the rocket taking the hit. The rocket exploded tossing me back like a rag doll. As the laughing pony stopped sticking his head out.

"Why didn't she splat!" I toss my cloak off to reveal a pair of wings.

"Shit it's an Alicorn!" The Raider shouted as he rushed back inside screaming hysterical as he ran away trying to hide. The other raiders ran out of their hiding spots like roaches. I hunted them all down and shot them. Before a dragon with a vest of colourful cutie marks came out from under a building the size of a three story building.

“Oh shit.” I said.

"ALICORN!" The Dragon roared as he slapped his tail against a building destroying it.

“I'm going to die!" Orange cried harder as she now had a puddle of blood under her as her face turned pale. The Raiders seemed to hey their confidence as they all came back running. Some even getting crushed by the dragon.

"Get the pretty corn!" A Raider laughed as he and a couple of raiders charged at me

“W-who are you?” I asked. The Raiders slowly stopped in front of me.

"Who is she asking?" He asked looking towards another Raider to his right.

"Me obviously!" A small Raider said from the left.

“The Dragon.” I said. They all whined.

"We must try harder to be Raiders!" They all began to whine sitting down disappointed. That they didn't get any Raider fame.

"DOZER STUPID ALICORN!" He roared as he lashed out a claw at me.

“I’ve felt worse claws.” I said.

"WHAT!" The Dragon screamed insulted. The Dragon reared back straightening his back.

“It’s true.” I replied. “But I specifically remember that these are the claws of a Dragon that Isn’t magic resistant. So, any last words.”

"You're a dead pony!" He yelled.

“Have fun in Tartarus!” I said before I casted the spell. The dragon fell into the portal which led to Tartarus. Those Raiders were still whining. I shot them so they would shut up.

"S-star?" Orange squeaked. "C-can you k-k-kil-l me?" She said on her side.

“I can’t kill you. But, i can heal you.” I replied.

"B-but I-I... h-h-have n-nothing to liv-ve for..." She stuttered as her eyes seemed to unfocus slightly

“What about your sister.” I said.

"She-e gone n-now... stupid Alicorn." Orange muttered bitterly.

“The Alicorns took her right?” I asked.

"Yes..." Orange said quietly finding it harder to stay awake. "Gone...."

“Where did they take her?” I asked.

"They took her..." She said quietly before falling unconscious from the lack of blood

“No.” I said. I took some of the Raiders blood and put it in her body then I sealed the wounds.

“Wake up!” I cried. Tears started to roll down my face. “It should have been me.” I didn’t leave her side. This was all my fault. Then, something snapped inside of me. Like, a magical burst went through my body. Before I knew it, I couldn’t control my horn. My horn sent a beam of magic at Orange. After that, she woke up. Orange screamed as loudly as she shot straight up. Frantically looking around until she spotted me.

"What the hay just happened!" She began to pat herself down as she sat. "I feel weird!"

"What. Did. You. Do?" Orange squeaked

“I have no idea what i did. I’m just glad your ok.” I said in relief.

"Oookayyy?" Orange said confused before looking around her town. Her ears slowly pinning back against her head. "Buck..." She muttered sadly as she kicked an empty tin can. "Did you do this?" She asked pointing towards the Raiders with a hoof.

“Yes. I killed the Raiders. Some of their blood is in your body now.” I told her. Orange eyes went bug eyed.

"What!" She squeaked as she started panicking. "Their filthy blood is in me!?" "How is their blood inside me!?"

“I had to put some in there to keep you from dying.” I replied.

"But I wanted to die! There is nothing here for me?" She told me.

“We are going to find your sister.” I told her.

"Are you sure? Nopony ever comes back when they are taken by Alicorns..." Orange said looking down. "You're pretty small in size compared to them..."

“Maybe I can get us in.” I replied.

"Are you a Princess or something?" She said slowly looking up at me.

“Yes i am.” I told her.

"You ARE!?" Orange said throwing herself at me with her eyes practically sparkling as her pupils seemed to enlarge.

“Yep.” I replied.

"No way." Orange said shaking her head skeptical. "You're pulling my leg here..." She said slightly turning her head away. "That sounds too good to be true.."

“It’s true.” I said. Orange bit her lip as she slowly turned back to me.

"If you're lying... you'll get it for not killing me..." Orange said dejectedly

“Oh i ain’t lying.” I replied.

"You better not..." Orange said raising a brow at my confidence in my claim.

“Ok look do you want to find your sister or not.” I asked.

"Fine! Let's go Princess Space Star!" Orange said eagerly as she picked up a bent machete by the handle with her mouth. "Nnn verr harrd!"

“Just Space Star is fine.” I said laughing. Orange nodded her head as she began looking around. Spitting out the machete.

"We should loot first." She said holding the machete close.

"Yeah. maybe we might find something important." I said.
