As we stepped on the roof I asked:

“Why the trench coat, Bone and not armor?”,

“I have realized that if you don’t wear armor and something that hides who you are, you are not so likely to get shot by the ponies with a little bit brains left, but to be sure I wear this little thing under it.”, he explains as he pushes the trench coat aside and points to a bullet proof vest and added, “And you should maybe put this here on.” And he pulled a full body armor out of his trench coat, I will never understand how he fits so much into that coat. As I put it on I first realized that it has way more pockets and multiple slings for weapons and then I asked:

“Why don’t I get a trench coat too so I at least don’t get shot by the smart ponies”,

“The trench coat and hat are one of a kind so best thing is you are as resistant to gunfire as possible.”, he answered, so he teleported us to the outside of Ten Pony Tower.

“What does that little pip buck of yours say?”, Bone asked,

“Everfree is in that direction”, I said pointing in the direction my pip buck indicated,

“Oh fuck!”, Bone mumbled and I turned around and asked:

“What’s up afraid to walk for too long?”, I teased,

“No that’s not the problem.”, he answered,

“Than what is?”, I wanted to know,

“Looks like our route leads us right along Slaver highway.”, he answered and now I was really grateful for the armor he gave me. We started walking towards the Everfree forest or rather whatever lie between that and us. We didn’t even walk half an hour before we saw two Raiders.

“I got those two.”, I said and pulled out the weapon that, I have learned from the green mare, is called a Winchester and took my normal shooting position,

“What are you doing with your left Wing?”, Bone asked,

“I use it as a table to lie down the rifle.”, I answered while aiming at the first,

“Why don’t you just wrap it around the Barrel?” he asked. That was actually not that bad of an idea so I tried it and it did help me. I killed the two with two fast shots and it did help me to reload faster but it did make my aim slightly shacky.

Note to self, wrap left wing around gun barrel for close range combat but still use the wing as table to ensure long range accuracy. We continued walking and soon reached what looked like an old train station at the end of the Manehatten ruins and who would have thought, we saw Slavers but they actually had hostages in a cage so even more reason to fight. Bone saw them too and explained:

“You wait here and give fire support I get in there and kill the rest!”,

“Forget it”, I answered back pulling out my Winchester and wrapped my wing around the barrel, “I´m gonna come with you down there!”. So we went down there and opened fire. The first five went down pretty easy, and the next three and the last three, I killed four, the rest were filled with Bullets by Bone, I have no idea how in Equestria he could shoot and reload that fast.

We quickly looted them, I added a pistol with a mouth grip to my arsenal and thanks to the fact that it used small 9mm bullets like my rifle I now had good amount of ammunition for both and found the key for the cage and opened it. The slaves ran out immediately, some throwing me a thank you look, some just running as far away as possible. I was about to leave when I saw a little curled up unicorn in the corner, she wasn’t a filly anymore but not much bigger than one, her white coat was full of mud and blood, her black mane and tail were frazzled and full of mud.

I poked her and with a squeak she jumped up and backed up in the corner, you could see that she wasn’t so much of a slave to sell but more the object of fun for the slavers and only then I realized that most of the blood was from when she was raped and she was forced to sit in it.

“Everything is going to be ok we are here to get you out.”, I said slowly trying to approach her, she just flinched back even more and I could see that she had a open wound under her cutie mark, I rummaged through my bag and pulled out a healing potion and handed it to her saying:

“Here drink this so you will feel better.”, she looked at me with her big crimson eyes for a few seconds than slowly grabbed it with her magic and gulped it down. I could see her wound close but from all the aggressiveness of the slavers she still was bruised all over her body. I shouted out to Bone:

“We need to get her somewhere safe so she can heal!”,

“Ten Pony Tower?”, Bone asked,

“No”, I answered, “They wouldn’t let us in and I doubt you can teleport us all back up!”.

“Come on you stupid thing do something useful!”, I mumbled as I hammered a hoof against my pip buck, then it gave a silent Beep and a marker appeared with the name Junktion R-7 next to it.

“My pip buck says there is a village or something like that near us!”, I shouted out to Bone as he searched the corpses for the millionth time,

“Then let’s get her there!”, came back. I turned back to the mare and said:

“We´re going to get you where its safe can you walk?”, she just shook her head,

“Well then jump on.”, I said laying down. She climbed onto my back and we walked right towards R-7. As we arrived it was already close to midnight. As we approached I saw a black unicorn walking towards us and as she saw my little passenger she started running and said:

“Come with me!”, she turned around and walked into something that looked like part of a train. She pointed to a mattress in the middle of the room and with a careful nudge with my wing I slid the injured unicorn on the mattress,

“What happened to her?”, the unicorn with yellow and red lines in her mane asked,

“We don’t know we picked her up from a slaver caravan and brought her here.”, I explained, our generous helper trotted around her for a bit then grabbed a few healing potions and gave them to her patient,

“That should help her recover quickly.”, she said. Just as I wanted to thank her and go the door opened again and,

oh fuck me to the moon and back I thought as I saw the Pegasus with Desperado hat walk in and say:

“Velvet please don’t tell me your back in tha… YOU!”, he turned and pointed his battlesaddle at me just as I pointed my pistol at his head,

“Velvet what is the Enclave doing here?!”, he asked not looking away from me,

“I ain´t Enclave!”, I said,

“Guys”, Velvet whispered,

“Oh and why do you still have your mark then?!”, he asked loudly,

“Guys!”, Velvet shouted silencing us all and continued, “Little pip is taking her well deserved rest not three rooms next to us and if any of you wake her up I am going to impale your head on a stick and feed it to the next rat roach we find!”, now we all looked at her with surprise, even the other Pegasus looked like he had never seen the mare pissed like that,

“You go back to bed Calamity and you three better leave, NOW!”, she ended her rant. Calamity was gone before I could look back at him and I just sat down so the now healing unicorn could jump back up and we left as well.

After a few minutes of walk we reached a tree which looked like it was hollow on the inside.

“Can you teleport you two in?”, I asked Bone as we inspected the hollowed-out tree,

“Yes but how will you come in then?”, he answered, I just pointed at the top of the tree and he nodded and teleported the two inside.

Note to self, never piss off a mare no matter who sweet and kind and couldn’t hurt a fly she looked, she could impale your head on a stick and feed it to rat roaches.
