Off the Grid Season 3

Shift, and Stryker had loaded up a supply truck full of many light, and heavy weaponry that they had used to prepare for this momemnt. They were ready.....they were ready to take on Vampra's base, and do whatever they could to stop her, and rescue Pixel. "You ready to go?" Stryker asked, as he walked up to Shift.

"Yeah.....I packed just about everything....I'm ready, as I'll ever be" Shift smiled, pointing to all the weaponry, sentry turret's, and ammo he packed. The two hopped into the supply truck, as Shift got into the driver's seat, while Stryker climbed into the passenger seat.

"Shall we?" Shift asked.

"Let's roll out" Stryker said with a bit of enthusiam, as Shift started the truck as the engine roared to life, and the two began to embark on their journey. During the long road trip.....Stryker let out a sigh, remembering the safety, and life he lived in Equestria, and The Grid. "I wonder how thing's are going back home.....I hope everything is alright" Stryker said to himself, as their vehicle drove on.

At The Grid everything wasn't going well for Lord Regalias, as he was dressed up in his newer outfit after being placed in charge of The Grid.

He was still working with High Lord Vampra to give her the ponies she needed for her experimentation's without anyone noticing, or questioing what he was doing. The 50 ponies that were ordered to be tied up with the help of 4 powerful Cybermen on guard, while a huge crowd of ponies were at The Grid's city hall to discuss these term's. For Regalias.....it was not looking too good, as he anticipated. Too many had gone missing that the public was almost infuriated. "As you all know.....in order for us to survive some of us....must be sacrificed" Regalias told them.

"WHY REGALIAS....where are they going?" A mare shouted.

"Why do we have to keep making these sacrifices every month?" Another stallion asked.

"Yeah.....it doesn't make any sense" A third stallion stated.

"What are you going on about?" A fourth stallion asked.

"Are we in danger?" A fifth stallion asked.

"It's time for answer's Regalias" A sixth unicorn stallion stated.

"Yeah!" A mare yelled.

"YEAH!!!!!!" The entire crowd shouted with the mare again, as a green stallion watched from the shadow's.

"Alright settle down....I told you before the reason were sending them away is to keep whatever's hunting us in The Grid......OUT of The Grid....by hunting them instead" He answered, pointing to the ponies who were tied up.

"That is.....A HORRIBLE IDEA!!!!!!!" An infuratiated stallion shouted.

"WHO PUT YOU IN CHARGE!?!?!?!" Another stallion shouted.

"THIS WOULDN'T BE HAPPENING IF STRYKER WAS AROUND!!!!!!!!" One mare shouted, as Regalias growled.

"STRYKER ISN'T HERE.....AND STOP YOUR WHINING.....IF IT WASN'T FOR MY EFFORT'S IN TRYING TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE THREATS WE FACE.....WE WOULD ALL BE GONE.....THERE WOULDN'T BE A SINGLE PONY LEFT IN THE GRID!!!!!!" Regalias shouted.

"Why can't we fight baaack?" A stallion shouted.

"Because we'll all die if we do" Regalias replied.

"THAT'S A LOAD OF BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!" The green stallion who was hiding in the shadow's, eavesdropping on the meeting shouted, as he revealed himself. Everpony turned to him, as the green unicorn held a Spas 12 pump shotgun in his hand that was loaded with bullet's. "We've all faced impossible challenges in the past before....." He growled, as he cocked the shotgun in his hand. ".....we can do it again" He growled.

"Put that gun down before you hurt yourself.....you don't know what your doing" Regalias ordered, as the green stallion snarled.

"I proudly served on the frontlines of the Great Nightmare War...." He growled, as he aimed his weapon at Regalias. ".....I know exactly what I'm doing....let all of those ponies behind you go" The stallion demanded.

"You don't know what your dealing with" Regalias warned.

"Ooooooh yes I do.....a cowardly purple stallion who let all the power got to his twisted head......Stryker would never had let you get away with this" The green stallion snarled.

"Stryker ABANDONED The Grid....he's a traitor" Regalias scoffed.

"Stryker is a hero, and a good guy.....and he'll be back" The green stallion ordered, as he aimed his weapon at Regalias.

"Kill him" Regalias ordered, as the Cybermen shot the green stallion, as he layed on the floor dead with blood pouring from his body, as Regalias scoffed again. "What's done is done" He said in a uncaring voice.

Shift, and Stryker continued driving for miles, and they were starting to run low on gas, when Shift spotted something that would help both of them. "Gas station coming up Sheriff.....i'm going to take us in to re-fuel" Shift told him, as he rolled the truck up, which came to a screeching halt that echoed along the abandoned street's. After they parked, Shift looked around the place, and felt that something was off. "Weeeeiiirrrd.....I don't see anybody here" Shift told Stryker who had also gotten out of the truck with him.

"It's too quiet" Stryker growled.

"Well it's not like it's a trap, or anything" Shift replied. The minute he said that, a bunch of different masked human's popped out of nowhere, aiming their gun's at Shift, and Stryker from all different angles of the gas station.

"You Haaaad to jinx it.....YOU HAD TO SAY IT!!!!!!" Stryker groaned.

"Sorry.....sorry" Shift chuckled awkwardly, as a masked bounty hunter approached them.

"Hello Stryker.....I've been expecting you" A voice spoke, almost having a Russian accent to it.

"Uhhh.....do I know you?" Stryker asked.

"Sheriff your a wanted pony....everyone know's you" Shift deadpanned.

"I'm here for moooore than just a bounty" The masked bounty hunter smiled. A few many meter's away....Sinon was on top of a hill with her Barret 50. cal out, as she looked through it's scope to survey the situation.

"How many guy's do you see?" Clint asked through a radio he was using to communicate with her.

" Counting 4.....no 5 guy's" Sinon replied in a low voice.

"You got a clear shot?" Stryker asked.

"Yup" Sinon replied through a very small micro radio she held.

"Are you sure.....I mean...we can go a little closer" Clint suggested.

"I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that" Sinon groaned in annoyance.

"Alright....Alright I'm just joking around....I'm gonna go negotiate....you know what to do" Clint told her.

"Roger that" Sinon replied, as she put the radio away, and looked through the scope of her sniper rifle.

"You killed my brother Voltar" The bounty hunter growled at Stryker.

"Hold up.....I didn't do that.....that was Shift" Stryker told the bounty hunter, pointing to his friend.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa.....those were auto-turret's....that wasn't me" Shift stuttered defensevly.

"But they belong to you....so that make's you the killer" Stryker accused.

"Whoa....hold up now...." Shift tried to retaliate, as the bounty hunter growled.

"SHUT UP.....I WILL KILL BOTH OF YOU.....STARTING WITH YOU STRYKER.....PREPARE TO DIE!!!!!!!" The bounty hunter shouted, as he pointed his two pistol's that he had with him at the two ponies. Without warning a loud barking was heard, as an Equestrian dog appeared out of nowhere that was brown, and had an eyepatch on, barking playfully.

"What....is that?" The bounty hunter asked, until the sound of a powerful gunshot got his attention. "WHO FIRED.....I didn't give the order to fire" The bounty hunter said to one of his soldier's near him, as one of his men fell from a high place, and onto the ground.....dead. Sinon re-loaded her sniper rifle, and fired another shot at another gunman who died immedietly. Sinon re-loaded again, and readied to aim it at her next target.

"SNIPOOOOORRR!!!!!!!" One of the masked men shouted, before Sinon shot him in the head. She fired again, and killed the fourth gunman. The bounty hunter looked around to spot the sniper, and when he found her position.....Sinon already fired, as bullet went through his head....killing him.

"Boom.....Headshot" Sinon smiled. Stryker, ad Shift groaned after getting down, while the Sniper shot their enemies.

"Ugh.....what the fuck just happened....and where'd that dog come from?" Stryker asked, as Shift also had gotten up with the Sheriff.

"He's with me" Clint replied, as the dog immedietly let out happy bark's, and went to Clint who appeared out of the blue. "How ya doing.....Stryker?" Clint asked in a mischevious voice.
