Author's Note: Eh, this might not really be worth the wait. Don't expect much from this part.


"Quick! Dive to the right!", said Applejack as she dived to the left. Engineer then went to the right. The cave beast almost punched the two, before turning around, and almost punching Engineer.

"What we do now?", asked Engineer, as he quickly dodged the beast's punch.

"Dodge his attacks while dealing yours!", she answered as she took the oportunity that the monster was focused on Engineer by kicking him with her rear hooves. The monster fell to the ground, before shortly after getting up, and going after Applejack. "Uh, a li'l help here!", she asked. The monster was about to crush her, until he screamed in pain. Engineer had striked the monster from behind with a knife. A lethal backstab. The cave beast fell to the ground, almost crushing Applejack.

"Whew, that was close!", she said.

"Yep. Thank heavens I had Spy's butterfly knife.", Engineer replied. The two proceeded to mine the uranium vein. Only little bits were left, and their pickaxes were almost broken. the two went upstairs to repair their pickaxes. As soon as the Engineer got the uranium from his small-backpack-that-held-over-300-items, Applejack came with a weight.

"Put the uranium here. We'll weight it to see if it's enough.", she said. Engineer placed the uranium on the weight.

'102,536 tons'.

"Well, that's a good start.", said Engineer.

Meanwhile...

Pyro was bunnyhopping throughout Ponyville. Suddently, he heard the noise of an orchestra comming from a theatre, or something. Pyro decided to enter it. He found a bundle of seats, with two ponies sitting down, and one pony in front of all of them. One of the ponies were mint green, one he formerly knew as Lyra. The other two he didn't knew, but the one sitting down was white, just like Rarity, but her hair was different, aswell with the symbol on her flank. The other pony was stone gray, and was also playing a violin. The two ponies clapped as soon as she stopped.

"Wow, you're good! No wonder you'll go completely fine tomorrow!", said Lyra.

"Thanks. But I'm slightly nervous, I don't know if those two new guys will like.", the gray pony said.

"Of course they will, Octy! I bet they have classic music on their world, too!", said the white pony.

The gray pony looked at Pyro, which caused the two other ponies to also look at him.

"Oh, he came!", said Lyra. Pyro approached them.

"Gvuuh jovhh.", said Pyro.

"What did he said?", questioned Lyra.

"I think he said 'Good job'. I don't know.", suggested the gray pony.

"No, he said 'Nice job'!", replied the white pony.

"No, it was 'Good job', I know he said it.", said the gray pony.

"No, 'Nice job'!"

"No, 'Good job'!"

"Girls, stop arguing! Both things are good, so why discuss?", interrupted Lyra. Pyro nodded. He stared at the two ponies.

"Mmh mmrghmmht mhs mm mmht mm?", asked Pyro. The ponies looked at each other.

"I think he's asking who are you two.", suggested Lyra.

"Oh. Well, I'm Octavia, and the white pony over here is Vinyl.", explained the gray pony.

"And you, what's your name?", asked Vinyl.

"Phyro...", mumbled Pyro.

"Eh, what? You gotta turn the volume up!", said Vinyl.

"Hey, give him a time, he hardly knows us.", said Octavia.

"Well, I met him earlier. He is Pyro.", said Lyra.

"Why he said quietly, then?", asked Vinyl.

"Mrh! Hrt hr nha phrnt yrh mrprph! Mm mmrgh mh mh, mh mm mh hm hm mm!", mumbled Pyro.

"Eh, what?", said Vinyl.

"Uhh, I don't think we'll ever understand him.", replied Lyra.

"Hellooooooooooo!", said Pyro as he looked on his bag, and pulled a large shotgun with a tag saying 'Frontier Justice - Level 5 Shotgun'. He pointed it at Octavia.

"OH MY GOD! What I did wrong?!", she screamed as she pulled her frontal hooves upward.

"Hey, easy there! We didn't knew we made you upset!", said Vinyl.

Lyra was about to use her magic to take the Frontier Justice from Pyro, but he placed it on his pocket, then, out of nowhere, picked a guitar from behind him. He played a few notes, before smacking it on the floor. He picked the shotgun again, and pointed it at Octavia, who panicked again. Lyra readied her magic, but again, Pyro placed the shotgun on his pocket, picked a new guitar, played a few notes, and smacked it on the floor. He then picked the shotgun again. He did it three more times, on which, once he finished, he started to bow.

"Mmmhhhh mmm!", mumbled Pyro. The other ponies stood there, completely frozen.

"Wait, was that a guitar playthrough?", asked Octavia.

"Uh-huh.", said Pyro as he nodded.

"Do you know any other guitar playthroughs?", she continued.

"Nho.", he said as he shook his head.

"Well, I can teach you some guitar skills. Want to learn?", she offered.

"Exfellend!", Pyro said as he nodded energetically.

Lyra and Vinyl then proceeeded to watch as Octavia teached Pyro some guitar lessons. At first, Pyro's single note sounded like this, but later, it started to sound like this. A few minutes later, he alterady mastered a single guitar sound. However, Pyro couldn't resist to smash his guitar on the floor whenever he finished, much to the disgust of Octavia. She then made a note to herself to never give Pyro one of her violins.

Pyro then pulled out his Third Degree axe. The three ponies looked at him awkardly, until he did the axe's taunt. He started to play it as it were a guitar, and it emmited heavy metal noises. Pyro continued to play with his Third Degree, and finally finished it, and, as usual, smacking it on the floor((but not breaking it)). Pyro had now learned now to play music. Now, what else could the ponies teach him?
