Off the Grid Season 2

The trader, and Stryker had talked for a few minute's with the Sheriff telling the trader who he was, what did he do, and so on. The information broker looked at his plasma rifle, which Stryker had successfully upgraded, after a month on his journey. "So your telling me that this gun is powered by a specific type of magic that come's from your horn's?" The dragon asked.

"That's right...it's a weapon designed by the engineer's back at the Grid....made exclusively used for ponies" Stryker explained.

"Fascinating....and there's an entire society of cute little ponies just like you?" The dragon asked.

"Well....you could say that....this little society mostly consist's of species that are Unicorn's, Pegasi, and Earth Ponies. Unicorn's are well endowsed with magic....Pegasi are the fastest flier's, and the best engineer's, and Earth Ponies are super powerful, and strong" Stryker told him.

"So which one are you?" The dragon asked.

"I'm not.....really sure. All I know about my past is that my mother was a special unicorn who left me on a doorstep of a palace city which fell a long time ago....I then grew up, on my own" Stryker replied.

"If that's the case.....where did you get that scar on your face.....I recognize many scar's on other being's, but your's I don't recognize.....who gave you that?" The Dragon asked. Stryker's mind immedietly shifted back to that dark hell hole that contained Scarlett Twinkle that made him shiver at the thought, and replied.

"From something you don't want to meet" Stryker replied coldly.

"What are you doing so far from home?" The dragon asked.

"The ponies of my world have been dissapearing, but I later discovered that we were being hunted....I don't kown what it was, but I knew it wasn't from the Grid.....it had to have come from another world. My companion's, and I left home in search of our lost comrades, in hope's of rescuing them" Stryker explained.

"So you came here with friend's....where are they now?" The dragon asked.

"I don't know....I lost them on the way here" Stryker replied with a tint of sadness in his voice, taking his rifle off the desk.

"Sorry to hear about that....alright I guess it's my turn to share some information" The dragon answered, as he brought up a messy bag, and then threw it down onto the desk. They each were a pair of colorful coin's, and picked one up. "This is a coin fuel cell....think of it, as the highest form of currency in this world....not only will it power my equipment....it's incredibly valuable, and fetches a high price." The dragon explained, as Stryker grasped picking up the coin's.

"Wait a minute.....I recognize these.....these are part's of Unicorn horn's that a Unicorn uses to power magic....where did you find these?" Stryker asked.

*****
Stryker was given the information of what he was guessing was the source of finding the abducted ponies from the Grid. He trudged through the ashy weather....after leaving the outpost, while hopping into his army jeep.
There's a city many mile's north of this outpost called "Candle Smoke"....there's a trader there by the name of Vampra, she's the one who has been in the distribution of these coin's. The dragon's advice rang through Stryker's mind. Stryker punched the gas, and went full throttle to the location that the dragon told him about.

Back at the outpost's, a Cyberman walked up to the trader that helped Stryker, and came to a stop.
"Status report.....present the finding's of your investigation" The Cyberman ordered.

"He's a pony named Stryker....he come's from a place called 'The Grid'" Th dragon told him.

"What of his weaponry? The Cyberman asked.

"Hee's got some sort of energy based blaster rifle" He answered.

"Where is he headed now?" The Cyberman asked.

"I sent him straight into the heart of Candle Smoke" The dragon replied.

"Excellent....the High Lord will be pleased" The Cyberman snarled, as the dragon gave him a sinister smile.

"Glad to be of service" The dragon replied.
