Off the Grid Season 3

Vampra heard the news of the outpost of one of her best bounty hunter's...find Stryker....but was also killed, as the pony had evaded her for the last time. She had enough, this was the first pony in existence to cause her some actual pain, and now she was done with it. She stood in a dark empty room, and looked at one of the Cybermen who only nodded in response. A video camera was then activated, as Vampra started her live broadcast throughout the entire Badland's. "This is High Lord Vampra.....I am broadcasting this message to all squadron's, and sector's. The recipient for who this message is for.....is none other than the pony......Sheriff Stryker. I know your out there, and I know your hiding......."

As the broadcast went in other places.....from where Regalias was....he only looked down at himself, a bit guilty for being a part of this entire mess. Elsewhere in a deep, dark hole.....Scarlett Twinke was sitting on a small little bench, with an unsual change with her face. When the wrecked radio mentioned Stryker....Scarlett's power's amplified, as the radio constantly repeated Stryker's name. A psychotic smile, belonging to a very messy, lavender face of a mare that had faded from a certain war was present to whom she shared the fractured, broken body with her Nightmare split-personality self that had been known, as Scarlett Twinkle.

".....it has been a long three month's, but our game of hide, and seek, end's today......" Both Shift, and Stryker were currently watching the broadcast from the Terminator itself. ".....you have one week of presenting yourself before me at these co-ordinates...." She told him, giving Stryker the location to her base. "......you will do so, or I will execute your precious companion live on the broadcast network for all to see......" She told him, showing him, and everyone the cell camera feed of Pixel inside it, chained to the wall.

".....I'll be expecting you" Vampra told him, as she ended the broadcast immedietly.

"So that's Vampra....." Stryker pondered, quite suprised of seeing her being some sort of other wordly Equestrian who was danegrous.....but also a bit hot. However she was bitch, and she needed to be put down for the fucked up thing's she did to his species, and for taking his marefriend hostage.

"This is obviously a trap" Shift warned Stryker.

"Trap, or not.....it doesn't change the fact that she's got Pixel" Stryker told Shift.

"Pleeeeaasee don't tell me your thinking of actually going to Vampra?" Shift begged.

"Look.....this is my best chance of saving Pixel....it might be my only chance, but I need to go" Stryker reminded him, knowing how much he loved Pixel.

"Well in that case....count me in" Shift suggested, but Stryker stopped him.

"NO....it's too dangerous, I can't endanger anymore lives" Stryker warned.

"Sheriff....you can't do this alone you need all the help you can get, trust me I can handle myself" Shift told him, as Stryker thought it over for a bit, and arrived at his conclusion.

"Alright fine.....your right, we really do need all the help we can get."

*****
In one of the huge popular bar's of the Badland's, a very pretty otherwordly pony was drinking from the glass mug of beer that she had been enjoying. It didn't have the best taste, but it was better than no beer at all. The mare herself was a survivor, and had traveled with her companion for quite sometime. She had her Barret 50.cal sniper rifle next to her, as she watched Vampra's broadcast replay on the TV with the other masked men who watched it play again, as well.

Her name was Sinon.

Sinon had been around the Badland's for quite sometime, and she had been traveling with her business partner, and the stallion that she had deep feeling's for.....Clint. The cyan blue stallion was also in the bar, having some relaxation with Sinon, and watching whatever news was on TV in the Badland's. When Clint saw Pixel chained up....he froze. Sinon glanced over at him, while having some mixed feeling's, as one of the masked men spoke up.

"Vampra really want's that pony dead.....speaking of ponies....I heard Vampra pay's.....reeeeeeaaallll well for anypony....." He said in an unpleasant tone, giving Clint a very mischevious look. "......ain't that right.....Clint?" The masked man asked. The music itself stopped, as tension suddenly surrounded the bar.

"Don't get any stupid ideas in your head" Clint warrned.

"I'n sure you've noticed.....but air in here is.....kind of tense, don't you think?" The masked man asked, as all of the other
men in the bar pulled out their weapon's, and placed them on the table's they were at, while also cocking them. Sinon took note of this, and froze for a few minutes.

"Listen pal.....whatever your trying to do right now....." He told them, and turned to Sinon who gave him an affirmative nod. ".....I'd promise you it won't be worth it" Clint told the masked man.

"Oh.....and why's that?" The masked man asked, as Clint pointed his finger at him.

"Because all of you would be dead before you even pulled the trigger" Clint warned. All of them were about to fire when Sinon pulled out her pistol, and quickly shot all of them with her signature speed that she had trained herself with since the beginning, as all of them were killed before they could pull the trigger. The music continued on, as other masked men who didn't fire at Clint had known him for so long to know he, and his partner weren't someone to trifle with.

Sinon holstered her pistol, as she downed the rest of the beer in her mug, before turning to her partner. "Collect their gun's, and amuunition....." Clint ordered, as she drank the last drop's in her glass mug, before shattering it on the ground, and did as Clint told her to do. The stallion himself let out a sigh, wanting to save Pixel which meant working with his rival. The same person he hated, betrayed, and also may have the Nightmare power in him still which was the reason he betrayed him in the first place.

Clint really didn't have much choice....it was getting to the point where he couldn't hide forever, and he would be forced to deal with Vampra himself. He really didn't need that heat for his business.....it was time to put Vampra in her place. "......we're gonna need it" He finished telling his sentence to Sinon.
