It has been hours since Captain Flynt left, Rarity had left after feeling inspired by the pirate's appearance, leaving the rest of the mane six and Starlight to watch Krieg repeatedly spins around his new truck with the students along with Pinkie and Spike on the back, they were also enjoying the ride. Starlight was still wanting some answers, she had easily piece together the information that Krieg's enemies were coming back to life, but she had never heard of them from any books, not one have any mentions of these bandits.

She looks at the truck, though it there are similar machines somewhere in Equestria, the Technical was obviously not from their world, the design was obviously made for non-ponies, it actually fits Krieg's size. Now came the weapons, just like she had mentioned, they do not exist on any books, could it be that-wait, Twilight had mentioned that Celestia erased anything related to Krieg. Could it be that the reason that she could not have find anything was because of the alicorn of the sun?

It might be the answer, but there is still one more question that seems to be the key to all this, what did Flynt mean? The universe is a vault? It does not make any sense to the unicorn, she'll just ask Krieg once he's finish.

Krieg stops his truck for a second and the passengers slowly gets off, they swayed side to side as they tried to keep themselves standing, it seems to be too much for Spike as he began coughing after he fell on his knees, wait, he wasn't coughing! A letter pops out of the young dragon and Starlight quickly swiped it out of the air, she then opens it to read and gasped loudly, catching the other's attention.

"What's wrong sugarcube?" Applejack asks the unicorn.

Starlight looks over to them, dread written all over her face. "The Crystal Empire is being attacked by bandits!"

They all gasped as well, but Krieg was too busy staring at the truck trying to think up decorations to the machine, maybe some skulls.

"Wait!" Dash spoke, feeling some concerns for the situation. "Is Twilight alright!?"

"You don't have to worry Rainbow Dash, it says here that she's very safe at the castle, it also mentions of the new addition to the military of the kingdom, they are guarding the castle."

Fluttershy slightly relaxed by the information. "But, what do we do? Do they need our help?"

"The letter says that they need help in getting rid of the bandits."

The Wonderbolt started to hover and jabs her hooves in the air. "Then what are we waiting for!? Let's go!"

Applejack pulls the pegasus back down. "Need Ah remind ya' that these bandits are armed with those guns? They can very much end ya' in just a blink!"

"What do we do then!? We can't just sit around when our friend is in danger!"

"I might have an idea." All eyes looks over to the changeling, curious of her plan.

"Alright, let's hear it then!" Dash spoke, though it sounded demanding, she only just wanted to check on Twilight if she was safe.

"Well, Starlight could bring you to the Crystal Empire, how about you bring Krieg? He is very experienced on dealing with bandits, so Krieg could help out on clearing the city, but you'll have to bring someone else to keep an eye on him..."

The older ponies looked at each other before nodding. "Alright, but princess Celestia is with Twilight, what do we do about her?" Said Starlight.

"We just need the one who's watching to make sure he steers away from princess Celestia." She looked over to her friends, Ocellus had already decided who to watch over the psycho. "I'll do it."

"What!?" Her friends said in the same time.

"Ocellus," Smolder spoke. "you can't just throw yourself in danger!"

Gallus steps closer to the changeling. "She's right! At least let me go instead!"

The changeling shook her head. "No, we need to make sure no one recognizes the one watching Krieg, I can easily disguise myself and no one would know who I am, so that's why I should be the one to go."

Gallus looks over to the psycho, he was holding a paint brush with orange paint, the beast was painting the vault symbol on every side of the truck. "You do know what he'll do, right?"

"I know..."

Smolder let out a sigh. "If you won't change your mind, then alright, but keep yourself safe."

"I know." Ocellus smiled.

"Its decided then," Starlight spoke. "I'm going to teleport us into the city and you make sure he does not go near princess Celestia, luckily she'll be with Twilight, so just keep him away from the center of the city."

"Will do, guess I should tell Krieg." The pony nodded and allowed Ocellus to go to the psycho.

Ocellus cleared her throat once she was just behind the beast, Krieg stops painting and looked over his shoulder. "Excuse me Krieg, are you maybe...bored?"

Somewhere at the dessert in the southern side of Equestria, Tempest Shadow or Fizzlepop Berrytwist sat under a crashed airship to keep herself away from the scorching sun, she had to get rid of her uniform to make sure she doesn't over heat. Tempest took out her water bottle and pops open the cap before taking a big drink out of it, she let out a satisfied sigh before putting the bottle away for later.

She had been traveling around seeking to atone for her past decisions, it was peaceful going around Equestria, meeting new faces and such, but what actually bothered her was that she had to be followed by a mentally damaged pony who wore a strange mask, the cutie mark the pony had was a skull of a pony wearing a red blindfold and smoking a bent cigarette.

"SHOOT ME IN THE FACE! DO IT! COME ON, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!" The psycho yells at her ears while jumping in place. "MY FACE, LOOK AT HOW SHOOTABLE IT IS! GO ON, ITS VERY EASY! KABLAM! JUST LIKE THAT!"

She was really tempted to do what he was requesting, but she has turned over to a new leaf, so she'll have to suck it up and hope that he'll get bored.

Before she could be tormented more by the psycho, a high pitch whistle cuts through the air, Tempest was curious of where it was coming from, it seems the other pony was also the same since he stops his loud shouting. Both of their questions was soon answered when right in front of them, a large thick cloud of sand kicks up, the unicorn and the psycho stared at it, just she had expected, a strange creature that looked like it wore armor had came out of the sands, it sniffs that air before setting it's eyes on the unicorn, then more had came out of the cloud of dust, all staring hungrily at Tempest.

Just when she was about to stand up, the psycho by her side shoves a strange weapon into her arms, she looks up to find him holding a similar weapon. "THE FACE! SHOOT THEM ALL IN THE FACE! THEN ME!"

He screamed before charging towards the strange creatures, seeing that these are a threat to her, she decided to follow the psycho, she mimics the way the crazy pony uses it and charges in with a battle cry, she doesn't know why she was doing this, must be pent up stress from being with him, guess she'll have to unwind.

Today, Bad Maw who was revived as a very large pony was having a crummy day, he just like the other bandits were in the city looking for an artifact, but after his run in with a single Hyperion soldier and a bunch of Loaders, he lost all three of his midgets and someone hit the Goliath's helmet off. That someone was sitting right across the table with him along with the Hyperion soldier that was mentioned standing by the window, watching the Goliath work, the three of them were currently hiding inside a bakery with the curtains closed to escape the wrath of the Goliath who is currently killing his fellow bandits, he glares at the small pony in front of him, she had a gray coat and a lighter gray mane.

"You know," Bad Maw began. "we wouldn't be here if you didn't attack the Goliath."

The mare snaps her glare towards the Nomad. "Well we wouldn't be here if you and your friends didn't attack the dang city!" Oh god, that irritating voice of hers was bothering Bad Maw.

"She's kinda right." Spoke the Hyperion dog, while staring at the pastries that was on display, his right wing taps his chin as he was making a choice.

"Oh you be quiet! What kind of a rescue was that!? You come in with a bunch of junk metals and then you run in here to hide!?"

The soldier looks back at her, no one knows if he was glaring at the mare because of the helmet. "Hey, if it weren't for me, that thing would have killed you!"

"Then why did you bring him in!?" She points a hoof at Bad Maw.

"Well, I kinda mistaken him for you..."

"He's as big as princess Celestia! How did you fail this bad!?"

"I'm still new to this helmet, okay!?"

The Nomad slams his hoof against the table. "Be quiet, or else that thing hears us and shoves one of you up my ass!"

"That was kinda specific." Said the gray pony.

Bad Maw shrugs his shoulders. "These Goliaths do it all the time, don't be surprise if you see a pony centaur..."

Once again, everyone was back to silence, but that was easily broken as a torso of a kirin crashes through the window, both the smaller ponies were about to scream in terror for witnessing such a fate to a bandit, but Bad Maw prevented them to do so after he spoke the dead kirin's name. "Child Stabber Tim! Oh god no! No, no, no- you know what? He kinda deserves it..." At first the ponies were confused, but then they just went back to what they were doing before.

And just like that, they went back to silence, and once again it was broken, but not by a random corpse, but because of the Nomad himself.

"So... any names?" The mare glared daggers at the Nomad. "What? We're obviously going to die, might as well learn the names of the ponies I die with... I'll go first, I'm Bad Maw." He said, the corpse still bleeding on the floor.

The mare and the soldier looked back at each other, before deciding to introduce themselves, the mare was first. "Limestone Pie, and I'm not gonna die here, you probably are, but not me."

The soldier takes off his helmet to reveal his orange coat and blue mane. "Flash Sentry." He looks back at the display before facing everyone again. "You guys want some last desserts?"

"I said I ain't going to die here! But I'll settle for anything." Flash quickly went around to get some food, he picks up cinnamon rolls before tossing it over to Limestone, she caught it with ease and began eating.

The Nomad stares at the soldier. "You're robbing the place?"

"Said the bandit."

"Touché. I'll have some cake, I've been craving some since I woke up."

"That makes two of us." Flash cheerfully said, he then brought two slices of cake to the table with extra cinnamon rolls, he took a seat next to the Nomad and they both began eating their cake.

Though this was low, the Nomad actually enjoyed the moment he was having, one last meal with people that won't kill you, before getting murdered by a Goliath. He looks over to Limestone, she wasn't showing it, but it was obvious that she herself was comfortable with the two stallions, then he looks at the Hyperion soldier, the pegasus was harder to read because it seems like nothing bothered him.

The Nomad returns to eating, he really hopes that someone would come by and kill the Goliath- Oh great, it turned GOD-liath. Seeing he had nowhere else to turn to, he decided to pray, when a man is down on his last life and has no one to call for help, they seek those who are greater, he wipes the icing off his face and began praying.

"What are you doing?" Asked the mare.

"What I can do, praying to the god that my boss worships, Krieg." He explains to them, the two smaller ponies decided to listen closely to the Nomad, Bad Maw closes his eyes and began his prayers. "Dear lord Krieg in the heavens above, I come before you now seeking aid against a foe that I could not defeat, if you do not wish to rescue me from my fate, then I request for you to lend me your strength and courage so I can stand against the trial that rages in front of me," He looks up at the ponies with him before closing his eyes again. "if not for me, then for my new friends in this world, for they need it more than I do. Amen."

Flash smiled, Limestone almost did the same and only rolled her eyes, the fact that he had already considered that they are his friends was kinda touching, how things go so fast when death was standing over your shoulder.

"Amen." Both ponies said, Bad Maw smiled as well, they were about to go back to eating, but a sudden bright light filled the room.

Out of the light came Krieg, his shotgun in hand, his head pans left to right before landing on the Hyperion and Nomad.

"It worked!" Bad Maw stood up from his seat.

"What worked?" Asked the element of laughter.

"Pinkie!?" Limestome quickly rushed over to her sister's side.

Now that they have noticed it, Krieg was accompanied by five ponies and a blue and pink maned psycho mare. The Nomad also got off his seat to get in front of Krieg and kneeled on his knees with his arms spread open.

*Bad Maw? Krieg, I think we should really look into this and find out why are our enemies alive.*

"Thank you lord Krieg for answering my prayers! I am humble to be in your presence!" The mares looked at him wierdly, Limestone quickly explains why he was acting like that.

"Okay?" Said Rainbow Dash, she and rest sees how funny the timing was, also the fact that Starlight had teleported them in the bakery was a huge coincidence.

"Pinkie," The party pony looks at her sister. "why are you here?"

"Twilight called us over! Why are you here?"

"Prospector convention." Was all she said.

"Okay!"

"Hey," Flash spoke as he stood next to the Nomad. "why are you with these bandits?" He asked even though he was with one right now.

"Pinkie chop!" Out of nowhere, Pinkie struck the Hyperion soldier behind his neck.

"Pinkie!" Everyone except Krieg and Bad Maw said in the same time.

"What? He works for the guards, we don't want them to know that Krieg is here!" She explained herself.

Starlight just frowns. "We can talk about it later, we need to get to the castle now."

"You're going to the castle? Can I come? Marble is probably looking for me there." Said Limestone.

"Well of course!" Pinkie cheerfully said.

"Ah think we should bring the guard with us also." Applejack pokes the unconscious pegasus, all had silently voted for the one who knocked the guard out to carry him with their eyes, Pinkie only rolled hers before pulling Flash closer to the group.

Starlight groans loudly. "Alright, hold on-"

"Wait!" The unicorn stops when Limestone spoke. The gray pony looks over to the Nomad. "You coming?"

"Me? Heck no!" Bad Maw laughed loudly, Limestone felt insulted by this because it looks like he was forgetting what had just happened in the bakery, before she could get angry, the Nomad continues. "If I suddenly pop inside the castle, I'll be swiss cheese!"

Her temper goes down, she now sees the Nomad in a better light. "Then where will you go?"

"Heh, I don't know, one thing for sure is, I ain't going back! I'm gonna travel Equestria and start a new life, maybe spread Krieg's name!"

*Oh god, we're witnessing a missionary in the making.*

Limestone could only smirk. "Good luck then, also, don't forget to write, I wanna hang out when you're around." She nods at Starlight, and in a blink of an eye, they were gone.

The Nomad looks over to Krieg and bows. "My lord! I am thankful that you are here-"

"Um," Began the psycho pony. "you don't have to talk like that, Krieg is actually nice!"

"Oh, okay..." He then continues without treating Krieg like a god. "So, hmm, there's a GOD-liath outside."

Krieg's eye widens in excitement. "Done and dead!" He said before running towards the broken window and hops through it, when he exited the building, he discovers the mutant currently slamming his fists into the pavement, a very unlucky bandit was now reduced to paste.

Krieg roars loudly to catch the GOD-liath's attention, once he became the main focus of the mutant, Krieg charges in while shooting at the GOD-liath. The monster roars in return before jumping towards Krieg, both horrors of Pandora reels back their fists and threw it towards each other, when the fists collides, a strong gust of wind came from the impact, causing anything lighter than a gun to move slightly.

Krieg threw another punch but the God-liath caught it, the monster twists Krieg's hand making grunt in pain, the psycho headbutts the monster's chest and made it stagger back giving the beast a chance to pull out his shotgun and blast him point blank. The bullets were useless, it was like trying to take down a tank with a handgun.

"Try breathing through crushed lungs!" The GOD-liath shouted, as he slams his fists into the pavement before charging towards Krieg.

The psycho holsters his gun and raised his hands to catch the charging mutant, as he had planned, Krieg catches the GOD-liath, the psycho thrusts his head in and impales the skull on his horn, then Krieg pulls back, ripping the GOD-liath's head out of the small opening on his body, the bloody skull and spine dangles around as Krieg threw the corpse aside.

"YOU MAKE ME VOMIT! HAHA!" The psycho laughs at the supposed god, back at the bakery, Bad Maw felt as if he was witnessing a divine being showing everyone what he alone could do, as for Ocellus, she had not watched any of it.

But Krieg was not satisfied, he looks around trying to find anything to quench his thirst for blood, right down the street were a group of bandits, they watch him carefully and when the group noticed Krieg staring at them, they began inching back. With a loud and joyful laugh, Krieg sprinted towards the bandits, they reacted quickly by spraying hundreds of bullets in defence, this was useless. When Krieg got close to the first victim, he punches right through the bandit's chest, he would then use the corpse as a bludgeon to the next one, he slams the dead on the living over and over, still ignoring the bullets being shot at him.

"Make me bleed!" He yells out before tossing the corpse off his arm, he pulls the skull off his horn and smashed it against the face of a Bruiser, then he rips a Psycho's face off just to smash it on the Bruiser again.

He used his shotgun to cleave a Marauder's head clean off before aiming it a midget and blasted him to a bloody mess.

Ocellus tried hard to hold it in, she felt light headed seeing all the blood, she still have a responsibility for the psycho, that's why she needs to watch him so he wouldn't disappear from her sight. Bad Maw stood next to the disguised psycho's side after retrieving his shield.

"Beautiful isn't it?" The Nomad spoke as they both watch Krieg snap a bandit's spine. "The god of war himself, its like a work of art." He then looks down at the changeling. "You aren't a Psycho aren't you?"

"How did you know?"

"You're saner than the sanest Psycho, it was really obvious."

Seeing her mistake, she quickly took the form of a Marauder which really made Bad Maw impressed by her feat. "Is this good enough?"

"How'd you do that?" He asked, both of them ignoring the cries of pain that was coming from the bandits.

"I'm a changeling, we can shapeshift to any creature on the planet."

"That's amazing! Wish I was a revived as a changeling..."

This catches Ocellus' attention, she had just remembered what happened a few hours ago. "Wait, could you tell me how you and Captain Flynt are alive?"

The Nomad pauses, he thinks about her question for a full minute, then he decided, even if this would cause trouble, Bad Maw will tell the truth. "Do you know what a Vault is?" And thus, Ocellus shall not only learn Krieg's origins, but what this world truly is.

Back with Krieg, the psycho had just finished rearranging a Nomad's face, he looks around himself seeking for more sacks of flesh to mutilate, the psycho's eyes lands upon a midget, that midget quickly ran away in fear when he saw Krieg looking at him. The beast pulls out his buzz axe and roars out his lungs before giving chase, at the sound of the psycho behind him, the midget started screaming for help.

This made Krieg even more excited for the meat grinding that was about to happen, the midget instinctively steps aside in time to dodge a buzz axe, Krieg tried to dive with his arms forward to catch the little freak in his hands but missed, the psycho quickly gets back on his feet, he pick the buzz axe off the ground and threw it at the midget, the blunt side of the axe hits the mutant square on the back of the head causing him to fall against the pavement.

Krieg had finally catches up with the midget, he raised his foot over the mutant's head and slams it down, a sickening crunch was heard. Krieg chuckled a little before stomping his foot again. Just then, another midget who was carrying a strange large glowing ring passed by, Krieg looks over to the midget in confusion, before he could chase after the midget, he hears voices just a few feet in front of him, the beast's eyes lands upon a hippogriff Psycho talking to a pile of bandits.

Krieg raises his throwing arm and aims right at the Psycho, with one single throw, the bandit was no more, the group quickly scramble back to their feet and held their weapons closely, but it have seems that they froze by the sight of Krieg. The beast laughs, he enjoys the terror in their eyes, oh how their screams will be sweet music to his ears.

"Mahahaha! My mind is on fire!" He said right before pulling out his shotgun and fires a round on one unlucky bandit, the group immediately reacted by firing back at the beast. Krieg runs up to their faces and lifts up his mask to breath hot flames to his enemies, they all caught on fire and tried to put it out, but that just gave Krieg the chance to swipe one of them and chomps down on the shoulder of the bandit in his grip, they screamed even louder before having their face eaten by the beast. After satisfying his hunger, he tosses the corpse away before taking out his axe again, he began cutting those who are alive and burning to pieces of cooked meat.

Right before he left, Krieg noticed a pony pressing himself against the wall of an antique shop, the psycho slowly walks up to the pony, and when he was standing right in front of the frozen stallion, he raises his hand and gently pats him on the helmet before leaving to look for more bandits.

Shining waited for the psycho to be out of earshot, once he was gone, the prince finally let out that breath he was holding. "That's Krieg!?" He yells out once he got his breath back.

"That's right, good thing you listened or else he would have snapped your neck!" Jack the ghost floats by Shining's side.

"H-he...he ate that guy!"

"Just be happy that it wasn't you, okay!?"

Shining couldn't stand, he stayed sitting on the ground, trying to understand what had just happened in front of him. "What do I do?"

Jack looks at the direction the psycho have went, a determined look on his face. "The only thing you can do, call Wilhelm."
