"Here he is Arch Magos. Hunter of the Salamander 7th company has undergone the final geneseed implantation successfully but that isn't what I hailed you lord Cawl,"

"The mutation... I've read your reports adapt... Show me what is different... this one compared to the others of the chapter,"

"Well my lord unlike most Astartes of the salamander chapter this one's geneseed had reacted differently to the genetic alteration,"

"Interesting... his skin has become scales... his anatomy has been altering... he is even cold-blooded... but will he respond to the code the same as the rest?"

"Of course my lord Magos a matter of act he will react even more so than those that were tested on,"

"Hmmm... Can it be replicated?"

"Yes with the right equipment and time,"

"Send your findings to my ship along with the samples... then release this one back to the salamander... they might be starting suspect something unlike most chapters the salamanders actually 'care' for their 'brothers'... I'll have to work with what you have found,"

"Of course Arch Magos,"

"Be sure to alter his memory of all the experiments you had him do... I can't have my plans ruined... ashame that my black vipers didn't get to him first,"

"Right away but his mind will linger,"

"If he does remember I'll have my agents deal with him,"

"Of course,"

"Beginning memory rewriting process in... 3... 2... 1... Praise the Omnissiah,"

"Good morning everypony you are listening to glass news radio of crystal empire giving you the truth no matter how bad it hurts... Prince Blueblood has been reported dead? What? And that's not all kids for it was the same day when those two strangers that saved our coats from king Sombra were officially released of all charges of the murder of Prince shining armor,"

Hunter opened his eyes as his alarm went off as the news began to play.

"I'm not done yet for the same abyssin and dragon of said murder case were found only a few feet away from when blueblood threaten them with an unknown device when reports of him demanding to *sound of shuffling paper* Ummmm... can I say that? I can? Well, he demanded to have Ms. Rivet to be his 'escort' for the night... wow and they say he's royalty,"

Hunter got up from his bed as the pony that spoke over the alarm radio was the same voice to the line of the 'good fight'.

"After a group had form and death threats were made to the two by using the unknown device you're not going to guess who showed up *Royal trump sound effect* the newly re-crowned princesses themselves who had the former 'queen' of Equestria removed for power after her outburst at the trial for the two heroes.

The Dj then took a breath

"Sadly even with the help of the princess the four tried to claim blueblood down from eyewitness reports before pulling a pin on the device which caused one princess Luna to warn everypony to get back while Blueblood showed the world that his blood really wasn't blue,"

The DJ said.

"Luckily only Blueblood died in the small explosion with only two ponies sent to the ER and the remaining wounded only had minor fragmentation which had to result in some stitches. I know all of you got mixed feels about this story but there is quite the sight after the explosion sees the big green giant shield his friend Rivet from the explosion! It gets better guys turns out the dragon was 'worried' about the abyssinain, you heard me a dragon of all creatures was worried about the health of non-dragon! I am not making this up! Best yet turns out Rivet then gave the dragon a hug to which he returned back! They both say they are not a couple after leaving a restaurant together AND are currently sharing a room at the film and flam royal resort,"

Hunter groaned as he held his head in his hands as the DJ clicked his tongue.

"Yeah definitely not 'in a relationship'... but all joking aside turns out a lot of maids both from the royal palace and not along with some female guards of the solar guard have come out in the public saying that they have been 'voliated' by the one and only prince Blueblood. By the mother of the two sisters were those mares really afraid to come out?! Luckly none have actually had his kid turns out Mr. Blueblood had only one ball! HAHAHA!

*Clears throat*

Sorry my bad well then... I know this might be a long shot but hey Hunter, Rivet, if you two ever come by Glass station me and a bunch of others would like to know. What did the heck happen? Like how did this all start? Sure I have witness reports but everyone in the entire empire AND Equestira would like to hear what happened from your lips. So get down here whenever you can doors always open... well from 5 am to 5 pm then its bright night's turn but please come in on my shift!"

Looking towards the radio Hunter listened.

"This is the one and only Three gems of glass news radio giving you the truth no matter how back it hurts,"

Hunter held his chin in thought.

"Mmmmmm..." Rivet bit into the pancake thinking what to rate this pancake. "For a 'royal approved' pancake this seems a bit weak,"

She then took another bite as she heard the door to Hunter's room open as he walked in with his armor back on as she held the newspaper reading about land offears.

"Oh hey big guy... you slept in," Rivet watched as Hunter placed his helmet down on the island and opened the fridge, and pulled out a carton of pineapple juice he ordered last night for the morning. "Did you sleep well?"

Shutting the fridge with his foot he then pulled out a glass and poured the almost clear gold liquid.

"Mostly just had a weird dream most of it was a blur but I swore I heard Arch Magos Belisarius Cawl's voice weird because I never meet him before," The salamander then raised the drink to his lips as Rivet blinked.

"What was weird about it?" Rivet asked. "Besides that Cawl guy being in your dream,"

"Well from what I can recall something about my mutation then some kind of code?" Hunter told her to which she blinked.

"A code? What kind of code?" Rivet asked as hunter shrugged.

"Don't really know to be honest it was like their voices were gurgled from me being in water or something," Hunter then poured another glass his throat still dry for some reason.

"That is weird," Rivet then finished off her pancake before getting up and rolling the newspaper around from her hand and threw it on the island.

"Death of Blueblood! Rivet, Hunter, and the Re-crown princess watch?"

"Told you we be on front page," Rivet said as Hunter held the newspaper. "Just not in the way I would expect,"

She pulling out a glass of her own Hunter poured her some juice as she took drank it.

"Were on the radio too," Hunter said throwing the newspaper and carton away.

"What? Man can't stay out of the spotlight now can I?" Rivet joked as she placed her glass in the dishwasher.

"Apparently not. The DJ wants to have us give him an interview," Hunter stated as Rivet looked up.

"An interview?" Rivet then looked down at the sink. "I mean sure but..."

"You not really comfortable talking about it?" Hunter asked to which she nodded. "It could help though,"

She looked up at him.

"How so?" Rivet asked.

"From what the DJ said turns out others had if fair worse they got caught by him and did have me to protect them," Hunter said as Rivet bit her lip in thought.

"Damn sounds like he was quite the lady killer," Rivet looked down into the sink.

"Well? We don't have to go,"

Rivet looked up.

"Best we do it to clear things up so we don't have more like sliver rush," Rivet got up crossing her arms.

"Agreed let us go," Hunter said as he rounded the island as Rivet then got onto his pack. "I'm guessing this is a thing now?"

"Clank and Kit liked to do it and I can see why," Rivet threw out.

"Never belittle a diamond dog for hogging the soap that is all," Three gem state as he hit the button for the jingle as they went to commerissal as the on air sigh went off. "I mean who does that?"

"Hey Gem?" The door to the radio room opened.

"Yeah what up?" The pony held up a cup of coffee to his lips.

"Um... Rivet and Hunter are here for that interview," This caused Gem to spit his coffee onto the pony's face who only blinked in annoyance. "I'm going to take it you want them in?"

"Do I want them in? OF COURSE! Bring them in!" Three Gem stated.

As he said this the headset-wearing pony left the room before a pony came in with a spar stool and another came in with a thick metal box they used for keeping the equipment for the station. Three Gem pulled out his headset as he got up to greet the two as they entered the room as Hunter had to duck in like always.

"You must Rivet," Three gem greeted as Rivet shook his hand before turning to Hunter who had to lean over in the small broadcasting room. "Sorry for the small space Hunter,"

"It's fine," Hunter shook his hand as the assistants held some headset for the two and mics out as Rivet put hers on and Hunter removed his helmet for his own headset.

"Alright, here we go three... two... one... Welcome back dear listeners It's Three Gem of glass news radio bring you the truth no matter how bad it hurts. Ohhhhh boy you guys remember when I asked early this morning if a certain two cats could come in? Well, guess who is here! Coming at you live here in studio is none other than Rivet and Hunter Konn! Welcome you two thanks for coming in," Three Gem greeted.

"Sure no problem Hunter heard your boardcast this morning," Rivet said pointing her thumb to her partner.

"What? You listen to my boardcast Hunter?" Three Gem asked.

"Of course when we were confined the guards would play your news station," Hunter told the grey-coated pony.

"Really so you've been listening since day one of you guys popping up on the people's radar?"

"Yep, whenever it was second shift the guards would play the station thoughout the shift to keep us entertained through when the radio wasn't playing we traded stories," Rivet said as Three Gem chuckled.

"Bet you two got close in that cell huh?"

"We came to tell you what happened yesterday Gem," Rivet said in a flat tone.

"What? The ponies put their wa-" Gem watched as Rivet with a look in her eye and placed her hand over her neck telling him to quiet it as Three Gem cleared his throat. "Sorry yes, I did sing out to you two to ask the big question... what the buck happened?!"

"The explosion happened outside the hibachi restaurant a few blocks away from where we are staying that you know," Hunter began.

"HmHm," Three Dog shook his head.

"But it all started in the restaurant," Hunter explained.

"Oh really? What happened?" Three Gem asked.

"Well we had just finished eating at the restaurant -which I recommend 9 out of 10- and to our surprise, the restaurant gave our meal for free but we didn't see him but Blueblood was there and heard it and well... He didn't happen that he had to pay for his meal because he was royalty," Rivet began.

Three Gem blinked.

"I'm sorry he got mad because you guys didn't get to pay for your meal though you guys literally just saved the empire and everything not like you were rubbing it into everyponies face unlike Blueblood who was doing just that but because he was Royalty?"

"That is correct Three Gem," Hunter told him as he Three Gem threw out his hands.

"Do I need to say how stupid that sounds?" As Rivet popped her lip after a 'Nope'. "Right now what happened next?"

"As he began to Argue we wonder why was he so angry about paying for his food before turning to leave before things really got out of hand but that was a big no-no to him and grabbed my arm," Rivet said. "He then called us 'Freaks' like we haven't heard that one before and I was able to pull my arm out of his grasp which caused him to give a 'you dare speech'. Hunter then stated he wasn't worth our time and I agreed before giving Blueblood a little 'gift' of my own before we left, we just left when I asked why does Hunter carry around those big smithing tongs around on his belt and he was about to answer but then Blueblood appeared again!"

"With the device, I'm guessing?" Three gem asked.

"Correct," Hunter said. "He grabbed an explosive from my belt,"

"Wait... he grabbed an explosive from your belt? Did he know it was an explosive?" Three Gem asked.

"No, he pointed it at us like it was somekind of ranged weapon before calling me a very colorful word I don't think I can say over the radio," Rivet explained as she held her head. "He then said 'he'll teach us about insulting the royal blood line' then we tried to defused the problem but he wasn't having it, then the princesses came down but..."

"But what Rivet?" Three Gem asked.

"This has been bugging Hunter and myself they seemed to have known what Blueblood had. As if they have seen what the explosive he had in his hand before," Rivet explained.

"What... so what is the device?" Hunter reached to his belt and pulled it out to show Three Gem who blinked. "I've never seen anything like that before... folks what I'm looking at is nothing I've ever seen before... heck I don't think most weapon historians know what that is. We use sticks of TNT but never what that is and what Hunter is showing me isn't it,"

Hunter then placed the explosive back on his belt this time in front of him unlike before.

"So besides the mystery of how the princesses know of the device I'm guessing Blueblood hand enough after chewing out his own aunts and ripping himself a new one?" Rivet blinked at the expression.

"Well not the way I would put it but yes," She explained as Three Gem nodded.

"And this is when Hunter shields you from the shrapnel?"

"Of course," As Three gem looked to the dragon.

"Why you do it?" Hunter then turned to Rivet as he smiled. "She's my partner,"

"Awwwww," Three Gem stated. "You care about her,"

"I do," Hunter answered.

"Care about her more than a partner?" Three Gem asked.

"No comment," Gem then turned to Rivet.

"What about you kitty what-"

"Lombax," The DJ stopped.

"What?"

"I'm not a cat. I'm a Lombax," Rivet stated as DJ blinked.

"I've never heard of Lombax before," Gem stated.

"Have you seen a dragon-like Hunter before?" She questioned as Three Gem turned to him.

"Can say I have but then again I've only met another dragon but he was just a kid when I meet him when he saved the Crystal Empire," Three Gem said.

"Was this dragon's name Spike?" Hunter asked.

"Yeah he's got a statue in front of the crystal palace," Three Gem told them as the two looked at one another.

"There's no statue in front of the palace," They both said at the same time.

"What? Of course, there is its been there- Oh... wait... the attack... huh guess they are going to have recave another statue again," Three Gem stated. "Hate for those who are doing it right now but besides that after all this heat dies down what's next? You two going to stay together or go back into the world and maybe cross paths with one another in the future?"

"The ladder," Rivet stated.

"Oh? Do tell," Three Gem stated.

"Well, Hunter and I are... what's the word... um..."

"Makers?"

"Yeah, that seems about right we like making things like how you think we got all this good stuff we have?" Rivet asked.

"How?"

"We made it!" Rivet stated.

"Really? You're telling me you made that entire set of armor by yourself Hunter?" Gem asked to which Hunter chuckled.

"I'm proud of my armor but Rivet? She is the one you should be admired for that arm of her is next to leave to anything I can make," Hunter pointed as Rivet held a peace sign with her robot arm.

"Wait? That's a real robot arm?!" Rivet nodded. "Whoa! And you made that? By yourself with only one arm?"

"Pretty much," Rivet stated. "So we decided to start a little business when we can,"

"My mind has been blown here, folks! These two master... no legendary level crafters are going to be starting a business by Celestia's sun you got to let me come by and check out the place when you do get it going," Three Gem stated.

"Sure we'll send you a postcard," Rivet joked.

"Well, folks I'll like to thank you two for coming in today and giving us this little insite onwhat happen yesterday,"

"Glad you could have us come on short notice," Hunter spoke.

"No problem you all have been listing to glass news radio bring you the truth-"

"No matter how bad it hurts,"

Twilight threw an empty bottle of wine at the radio.

"Oh s-s-s-shut up! *hic* You bucking monsters think you *hic* had it all sorted out don't *hic* you?" Twilight spat. "First you took my brother *hic* then my crown *hic* and now Blueblood? Actually, I don't really care *hic* about him,"

She then popped another one open.

"SPIKE!" She shouted as the door open.

"H-hey Twilight," Spike said scared.

"C-c-come here,"

"Twilight please I-"

"NOW!"

Spike hung his head.

"Lock the *hic* door,"

Spike did what he was told as the scars on his back told him to listen in or else he'll get more... than the scars he'll be getting after this.
