Episode 1

The ruin's of Vampra's base was quite the sight, as most of it was covered in the dusty weather of the wasteland's. The ruined Cyberman were all in pieces scattered around for miles with no sign of Vampra's body, or herself period. Exposed wiring, and building structure were scattered all over the place. The sound of footstep's was heard, as a Bad blooded Yautja used it's bio mask to scan for unique signatures. It scanned the area, viewing the base ruin's. With it, a very advanced robot that almost resembled a Sith Lord combat droid....scanned the area with it's advanced technology.

"Blast area in the scan calibration....complete....result's were highly informative, everyone here died....I will leave it to you to report to the Captain" The robot told a pony who had Predator armor, and weaponry on him, while wearing a dark brown cloak.

"Mmmm....alright" He told him, as he quickly went to another part of the area. Their Captain....an Equestrian Crimson Dragon...was staring at the ruin's of Vampra's base, seeing nothing but dust, and ruin. The pony, by the name of Lance, walked up to the dragon.

"Status report?" The Crimson Dragon growled in his very deep voice.

"Total, and complete damage....it appear's there was a critical reactor failure, and it look's like the entire structure collapsed in on itself." Lance answered.

"I warned Vampra that her reactor would someday backfire on her" The dragon scoffed.

"There's heavy blast scarring across the west entrance suggesting that this wasn't a reactor failure....a major battle took place here.....very recently before the meltdown" Lance explained.

"Which mean's?" The dragon asked.

"It's possible that this is connected to the message that Vampra broadcasted across the wasteland when she was targeting the pony from The Grid.....Stryker" Lance explained, as the Dragon snarled.

"I don't DEAL in possibilites Lance.....only certanties" The dragon growled, as he opened a channel to the other Bad Blooded Yautja that were searching the wasteland's. "Scour the area for survivor's, anyone, or anything you find breathing....bring it to me" The dragon ordered.

"What about the delivery?" Lance asked, pointing to the ponies that had been captured, 5 Equestrian ponies in general who were going to be dissected, and slaughtered.

"They're useless to us now.....dispose of them" The Dragon growled.

"Mmmmm....alright" Lance grumbled, as he and the other Yautja pulled out their wristbracer's, and gutted the 5 ponies.

"Begin your search Immedietly Lance....I want to know what happened here....and someone out there know's" The Crimson dragon growled.

*****
Clint drove far from the reactor ruin's on his motorcycle with Pixel holding onto his waist, as they continued driving further, and further forward to get back to The Grid. They drove, and drove, and drove, until they passed a sign through a town they cut through that read. "Warning: Reavers"

Episode 2

Pixel was in a very dark corrider, as she was on the run. She was clearly running from something, or someone. She quickly dove behind a building, and panted heavily doing her best to catch her breath. Out of nowhere appeared an undead Vampra who had a different hairstyle, and looked more sinister than ever. Pixel was ready, as she pulled out her sword, and swung it at her with incredible speed. Vampra managed to catch the blade, and grab it out of Pixel's hand's, throwing the weapon aside. Vampra curled her clawed hand into a fist, and punch Pixel, as hard, as she could.

Pixel gasped, waking up from another nightmare she had. She quickly looked around, seeing her sword nearby of where she slept. Pixel buried her head into her hand's, and let out a mentally drained sigh, along with a few small sob's. Being Vampra's prisoner had really affected her pschye. Pixel felt scarred, she didn't really feel normal at all. Even though she was free of Vampra, a small bit of sanity was taken away from her.....along with the love of her life....Stryker.

Thankfully, Clint was kind enough to have found her a pair of clothes for her to wear.....grant it her shirt showed off some sideboob, and her cleavage was visible....but that, and a long pair of pant's were better than the prison bikini's they forced her to wear for the slaughter that never came.

Her thought's were interrupted, by a loud bang, and clunking, as she spotted Clint doing his best to fix the motorcycle that he had driven them here on. Clint had not changed his attire since he left, and seemed more focused on fixing the bike.

"Come on....come on.....come on....give me something here" Clint growled, trying to get the motorcycle started. Finally, the engine roared to life, as he smiled. "Yeah....HAHA....ya hear that Pixel, she sound's like a dream" He told her, until he got blasted in the face by a pocket of steam that knocked him off the bike. "GAAAHHH"

He groaned, as he landed on the ground hard. "I'm gonna assume that it.....didn't work?" Pixel asked, pointing to the bike. Clint immediety got up, trying to give her a hopeful response.

"No...no....no....it work's, it's just being a little finnicky is all" Clint answered, as Pixel took a look at the bike, before turning to Clint.

"Are you sure?" She asked, trying to see if he was telling her the truth.

"Pixel....she's a high quality machine....she's got peculiar tastes, and at the moment we don't have the part's we need...but I've made temporary repair's.....it'll last us long enough for us to get to the nearest outpost" Clint explained to her.

"Are we going to rest there....it's getting dark" She told him, pointing to the sun going down, after she had taken her nap from earlier. Clint looked at the setting sun of the wasteland's, and sighed.

"I'd like to....if anything it's going to be a pitstop....we'll get what we need, and keep riding" Clint told her, as Pixel looked at him with curiostiy.

"What's the rush Clint?' She asked in her soft tone.

"We're in Reaver territory....and we don't want to deal with Reaver's right now" Clint replied. Pixel had a small glint of fear in her eye's, but was also curious.

"Who are the Reaver's?" She asked.

"A bunch of ruthless speed demon's...led by their insane leader, Crazy Jack...he lead's the Reaver's in these suicidal raid's all across the territory" Clint explained to her. As their conversation was taking place, a bunch of Reaver's were already watching them from afar. The Reaver's, and their leader...Crazy Jack were a bunch of skeleton ponies, or broken Nightmare entities that mostly wore a bunch of killer clown mask's on their faces.

"Who are those ponies down there?" One of the insane Reaver's cooed, as Crazy Jack growled in a dark voice.

"I know that pony.....it's Clint" Jack snarled, as he turned to his crew with the loud cracking of his bone body being heard among his crew.

"I WANT HIS BIKE.....SOUND THE HORN BOYS!!!!!!!" Jack shouted, as all the Reaver's laughed, while Pixel, and Clint were continuing their conversation.

"You know when you're in trouble when you here their call" Clint told her.

"What's that sound like?" Pixel asked. The moment she asked that, a low drummed horn was heard all around them, as Clint immedietly snapped to his insticnt's.

"THAT would be the call....WE Gotta go......NOW!!!!!" Clint warned her, as he immedietly jumped on the bike, and tried to get it started, while Pixel sheathed her sword. The laughter of Reaver's, and the sound of their ATV's. and dune buggy's were heard, as they drove toward's where Clint, and Pixel were. Clint got the engine running, while Pixel jumped on, as they drove off at full speed, leaving behind the backpack that Pixel was sleeping on earlier.

The Reaver's passed it with their psychotic laughter erupting in the air....while a Bad Blood Predator stopped upon the backpack he had found, trying to pick up Clint's trail.

Episode 3

Clint drove his motorcycle, as fast as he could with the Reaver's, and Crazy Jack following close behind in their ATV's, and dune buggy's. The motorcycle's engine was revving so loud with how much speed Clint was pushing for it, to get away from the deadly Reaver gang. "How's it looking back there?" Clint asked Pixel, wanting to know if he lost the Reavers who were still on their tail, and closing.

"YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING ON!!!!!!!!" Pixel shouuted angrily.

"Well I don't have rear-view mirrors on this thing" He argued.

"Well.....they're chasing us" She scoffed.

"TELL ME SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW!!!!!!!!!" Clint shouted back at her. The Reaver's were continuing their pursuit, as their high pitched cackles echoed across the Wastelands. A few pulled out their revolver's, and began shooting at the two ponies they were after.

"THEY'RE SHOOTING AT US!!!!!!!" Pixel screamed at him.

"WE'RE GONNA TRY, AND LOSE 'EM!!!!!!!!!!" Clint shouted back, pushing the speed of the bike even further. Pixel grunted, as she pulled out Clint's cannon revolver, and pointed it at the Reaver's.

"COME ON BOY'S!!!!!!!!!" Crazy Jack shouted triumphantly, as they pursued the pair of ponies.

"There's about 7 to 8 of them" Pixel whined worriedly.

"You got about 6 shot's in that thing.....try not to miss" Clint told her. Pixel fired her first shot, and killed a Reaver who was driving on the ATV. Pixel then aimed the gun again, and fired....kiling another Reaver's who's skeleton body was blown in half due to the sheer power of the shot that hit him. Pixel fired a third shot, hitting the gas tank of an ATV, and blowing up two Reaver's in the process.

"OOOOOOHHH......COME ON.....SERIOUSLY!?!?!?!?!?!?" Crazy Jack shouted angrily, seeing how dumb some of his Reaver member's were. The Reaver's contiuned their pursuit, some still shooting, and other's pulling out shovels.

"They're gaining on us....can't this thing go any faster?" Pixel asked Clint.

"Alright.....HANG ON.....I HAVE AN IDEA!!!!!" Clint shouted to her, as he sped up, and left the city area, going to an open field, and came across a huge gas tank, He used the weapon's mounted on the motorcycle that he had gotten a while back to shoot the station just at the right time. Clint pulled to a stop with his bike, as the remaining Reaver's faced the wrath of the gas exposion that soon followed.

"Phew.....good riddance....now let's get moving" Clint smiled, until he heard the rumble of another motorcycle approach, revealing Crazy Jack.

"AHAHAHAHAHA" Crazy Jack laughed, as Clint got off his motorcycle to face Crazy Jack, much to Pixel's bewilderment.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?!?!?!?" Pixel shouted, as Clint smiled.

"I'm gonna handle this.....give me my gun Pixel" Clint told her.

"Oh.....you want a fight.....IIIIIII'LLLLLLLL GIVE YOU A FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!" Crazy Jack laughed, as he revved up his motorcycle, and drove at Clint with full speed.

"Three bullet's left huh....bring it on Jack" Clint smiled.

"AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!" Jack laughed, as he began firing his grenade launcher at Clint. Jack missed all the shots he fired, when Clint was standing still, but Clint was good, and the shot he fired....took out Jack's bike, and made him crash onto the rust Wasteland pavement.

"RRRRRR!!!!!" Jack growled getting up, as Clint had his gun pointed to the leader of the Reaver's.

"Don't even try" Clint warned.

"RRRRRRRRRRRRRR.....This isn't the last you see of me......CLINT....I'lll be back...and I'LL KIIIIIILLLLL YOOOOOOUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!" Jack shouted, as he got onto the only buggy left with a fellow Reaver, and called it a day, as Clint lowered his weapon.

"Alright.....let's go" Clint groaned boredly, as he, and Pixel got on their motorcycle, and rolled off into the night.

Episode 4

At the Reaver's main base, the Reaver engineer's, and the remaining one's left, under the command of Crazy jack were creating new weaponry, and we're repairing their vehicle's, while some other Reaver's were soon back from their run in with Clint to continue fighting. They were hard at work, preparing for their next salvo run, until one of the Reaver guard's of the base....ran in running out of breath.

"WE GOT TROOOOUUUBLLLLEEEE!!!!!!!" The Reaver screamed in a fancy tone.

"WHAT'S GOING ON!?!?!?!?!?" Crazy Jack shouted angrily at the Reaver guard.

"Raven's.....coming down the corridor" The Reaver panted, as Jack growled with rage.

"HOW......CHECK THE SECURITY MONITOR'S!!!!!!!" Jack shouted.

"Boss, I'm not seeing anything on the security feed....their's nothing there" A Reaver replied, until a wristbracer went through one of the black inked Reaver's chest, as he collapsed to the ground dead...oozing out some sort of black ink.....revealing the pony who was scouting Vampra's base.....Lance

"Oh I can assure you there's something there" Lance growled in a deep voice. One of the other black inked Reaver's charged at Lance, only for a cloaked Bad Blood to pick him up, and throw him against the wall. Crazy Jack had seen this pony before, and knew who it was.

"How did you bypass.....OUR DEFENSES!?!?!?!?!?" Jack shouted angrily.

"We Raven's are professional's at infiltration" Lance replied, as the Bad Blooded Yautja in front of them de-cloaked. A Reaver pulled out a shotgun ready to retaliate....until another Bad Blooded Yautja dropped in, as the Reaver put the gun down, playing the situation smart, and not risking his own life. "Mortis has some.....pointer's for your defense system" Lance told Jack, as the same robot that scanned Vampra's base was now in the room behind the Reaver overlooking security.

"Your defense system's were laughably primitive....a service droid could have bypassed it" Mortis stated, until their Captain....the Crimson Dragon who the Raven's worked for, jumped down from the ceiling, facing Crazy Jack.

"Hello Jack....it's been a while" The Crimson Dragon snarled.

"Skip the formalities....Captain....What Do You Want!!!!!!" Jack scoffed.

"It look's to me like you suffered a humiliating defeat at the hand's of a certain.....somebody" The Dragon stated, pointing at his equipment.

"What are you getting at?" Jack growled angrily.

The Crimson Dragon reached his arm out, as one of the Bad Blood's handed him the backpack that Pixel used as a pillow to sleep earlier. "Who's is this?" The Dragon growled. Jack only rasied his arm's with a fake shrug.

"Never seen it before.....and if you think you can WALK IN HERE....AND THREATEN.....GAAAAAHHH!!!!!!" Jack screamed, as the Dragon threw him to the ground, causing the Reaver's to ready their weapon's, as the Bad Blooded Predator's, pulled out their Wristbracer's, or readied their Plasma Caster's.

"I'm gonna ask you one more time" The Dragon stated, as Jack cracked a smile.

"Oh I'm sure you know exactly who's it is" Jack smirked. Not having anymore game's....The Crimson Dragon gave Jack a brutal punch, as smoke puffed out of his nostril's, as he spoke.

"JAAACCKK....WHO'S IS THIS!?!?!?!?!?" The Crimson Dragon snarled.

"ALRIGHT, Alright....it was your Prrrrrecious CLiNT!!" Jack replied with a snark.

"RRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! The Dragon roared angrily, as he beat Crazy jack so hard that his skull was crushed instantly kiiling the leader of the Reaver's.

"Easy now Captain....I just fixed up your arm" Mortis assured him, pointing to the robotic arm that replaced the one he lost a long time ago. The Crimson Dragon let out a huge puff, calming down before looking at the other Reaver's.

"LISTEN Here Reaver's your day's of aimlessly wandering these Wasteland's are over. Our petty war, and conflict end's here today....today start's a new era.....MY era....what belonged to the Reaver's now belong's to me....YOU ALL.....belong to ME! I will bring order to the Wasteland's. I offer you a chance to be a part of this new world....or you can leave it, like Jack" The Crimson Dragon ordered, as he got only silence in return, and smiled. "Good.....we understand each other. It's time to pay Regalias a visit....send the message"

The Crimson Dragon told Lance, as a mischevious smile spread across his face. "Hmmf....consider it done" Lance smiled, as he started to head out of the Reaver's base, but then stopped. "What about Clint....he's probably well behind the defensive area's of Vanguard Outpost by now?" Lance asked, as the Dragon cocked an evil smile.

"Aaaahhh yes.....Vanguard outpost....we have something special in mind for them....don't we Mortis?" The Dragon asked, as Mortis rasied up a claw that was filled with cybernetic hack's, and digital cyberspace code's, crucial to taking down almost any security.

Episode 5

Clint, and Pixel were at the entrance to Vanguard outpost looking to get in, as Clint was talking to the masked men that were guarding the entrance, while Pixel sat in front of the bike, watching Clint having a bit of trouble. "Like I said....I'm a friend of Commander Ares" Clint told one of the guard's who rolled his eye's.

"Uh huh.....sure you are" The guard scoffed.

"Look....call your boss, and tell him that Clint is here" Clint stated bluntly.

"The outpost is currently under lockdown....no one get's in, or out without authorization" The guard stated back to him.

"Uuuugghhh...just call Ares....if he say's no, I'll get lost alright?" Clint asked politely, tired of arguing with the guard's, as one of them groaned in response.

"Uuuuggghhh....just call the Commander so we can get rid of this guy" The second guard told the first, as the first guard was silent for a minute, and then opened a channel to the Commander.

"Commander Ares.....this is border checkpoint Vantage....we have a pony named Clint seeking entrance to the outpost....he's accompanied by one other pink pony what should we do?" The guard asked.

"Let him in" Commander Ares reported back, as Clint smiled hearing the entire radio conversation.

"OOOOHHH....IN YOUR FACE....HAVE FUN STANDING IN THE COLD, JERK'S!!!!!!!!!" Clint boasted, as Pixel got up from where she was sitting, and got on the bike with Clint who drove into the outpost that looked a bit similar to The Grid, but was re--enforced differently.

"OPEN UP.....I GOT CLEARANCE FROM COMMANDER ARES!!!!!!" Clint shouted, as the gates themselves opened up, and Clint was let in. Clint rolled the bike in, as the gates shut behind them. The Vanguard outpost had a repair station, a few trading post's, plus a bar. Clint was talking to the robot who ran, and fixed vehicles at the repair station. "I'm gonna need a new radiator, and while your at it, replace all the engine's, and output sprocket's.....Oh, and when you fill her up....I want Pure fuel cell concetrate got it...none of this half, and half fuel cell mixed with water garbage.....Don't you DARE water it down" Clint ordered the robot, as he took his repair order's.

"Re-udilating order's.....1 new Radiator, 1 new set of engine sprocket's, 1 re-fueling of fuel cell concentrate...processing orders to use....please select payment type?" The robot asked, as Clint rubbed the back of his neck.

"Yeah you can....uh...bill that out to....Commander Ares....I'm sure he'd be more than happy to cover my tab" Clint told him, hiding a smile.

"Understood" The robot replied, as Pixel looked around, seeing a bunch of masked men, some a few batpony's who were both gunslinger's, and stripper's, plus to top it off there were other robot's. Clint walked over, seeing Pixel staring at the entire place.

"Whatcha lookin' at?" Clint asked the young pony.

"This town is so peaceful....it's.....weird" Pixel told him, not used to seeing a peaceful town, since the first one they came across was filled with Reaver's.

"EEEEhhhhh....it's only peaceful 'cause they got some big gun's around" Clint replied.

"How'd you come across this town anyway?" Pixel asked, as Clint stayed silent....looking at a certain abandoned building where he had hanged out with Sinon so many time's. Having precious memories of her, how caring she was. This was his home.....with her. It only been a day, and he never forgot her....how could he? That was before, and after he had gotten his helmet, as he answered Pixel's question's in a more depressed tone.

"Long story" He answered. The two were later at the armory that the place had with a few guard's outside, as Clint turned to her, and spoke. "I'm going to have a talk to the guy that run's this place....take it easy for a bit, and have a look around" Clint ordered her, as he went inside.

"Oooo.....k....see you later....I guess" Pixel replied hesitantly, as she turned around, and ran right into someone, causing her to fall flat on her back.

"Oh I'm terribly sorry....I was in such a rush, I didn't see you there" A female voice replied.

"It's ok...I'm fi...." Pixel's voice trailed off when the being that she had bumped into was an Equestrian shark like pony that looked very similar to Vampra. Dark black hair, long ear's....shark tail....cloak in dagger, but mostly having a bikini on her skin was a brighter shade of blue. Just looking at her caused a memory flash of her traumatic event's of being Vampra's prisoner....causing her to scream, and crawl back.

"Oh my....I'm sorry....I didn't mean to startle you" The female shark being replied, but Pixel's traumatic event's of Vampra we're now constantly flashing in front of her, and in her mind. Pixel was shaking, and scared....her heart rate elevating from the time she spent, as Vampra's prisoner. She even looked at her sword....almost feeling like she was about to face an undead Vampra.

"Are you ok....I'm not going to hurt you" The female anthro shark girl told her, while the traumatic event's of being Vampra's prisoner....we're still flashing through her mind....especially when she killed the friend's she made in that prison, as Pixel trembled in fear, but Pixel was able to snap out of it.

"S-sorry....you just remind me of someone" Pixel told her, now a little unnerved, while the female shark being smiled.

"Oh....that's what it was....I must be on my way now....take care of yourself" The female shark girl smiled, as she picked up what appeared to be a scrambler the size of a suitcase, and walked off like nothing happened. Inside the armory, Clint journeyed across the hallway, until he peeked his head into the room Ares was in, and smiled.

"Ares....my man....it has been too long.....man you got all the toy's here" Clint smiled, looking at the weapon's in the armory, as he tried to strike up a friendly conversation.

"Who do you think you are just strolling into my outpost?" Ares asked, as Clint chuckled at the human white haired Commander.

"Uuuuhhh....what?" Clint asked in response, as Ares snarled.

"Let's get one thing straight....Clint, I let you in here, because I want answer's" Ares pointed to him.

"What are you talking about?" Clint asked.

"You came here from the direction of Vamrpa's spire, word is that she's dead, and her tower's blown to smithereen's. All of her machine's, and robot's are lifeless, and de-activated. Everyone's on edge, as every bandit out there is trying to be the next big bad guy, and here you come.....rolling along like nothing happened." Ares explained, as Clint spoke up.

"I'm just passing by!" Clint stated, as Ares spoke again.

"One doesn't simply "pass by" to Vanguard outpost Clint.....your running away from something" Ares told him, as Clint snarled.

"OK ENOUGH WITH THE ACCUSATION'S....MY BIKE'S BUSTED....IT NEED'S REPAIRS, and VANGUARD OUTPOST.....was the CLOSET, and SAFEST PLACE AROUND.....And Yeah what you heard was true....Vampra's spire is gone, we drove by it....it's been leveled to the ground" Clint growled.

"What were you doing driving by it?" Ares asked, as Clint froze for a minute, as he tried to keep his bluff from being discovered.

"I'm....uuuuhhh.....I'm going home" Clint replied, as Ares looked at him in disbelief.

"You....going home....you expect me to believe that?" Ares asked, as Clint growled.

"Hey ....there's another pony with me, I'm escorting her back to The Grid" Clint replied.

"Hmmmf....sure you are" Ares replied rolling his eyes.

"Look....I won't cause any trouble, just do me a solid, and let me stay for a few day's....we'll be outta here the moment the bike's fixed up" Clint told him, as Ares growled.

"If I hear even a single complaint about you....I'm throwing you outside to the Rift Crawlers" Ares growled, as Clint gave him a mischevious grin.

"Your a sweetheart Ares" Clint smiled, as Ares scoffed.

"Get Out of my sight you scumbag" Ares growled.

Episode 6

At The Grid itself, Lance was talking with Regalias who not only had changed to the point, where good almost no longer resided within his body, as Lance himself scoffed. "I've liked what you've done with the place....the Nazis tapastry is quite nice" Lance told him, as Regalias smiled looking at him....looking a bit like an Equestrian Hitler than an actual pony.

"Ya like it.....my testament to our greatest victory during The Great Nightmare War" Regalias, as Lance scoffed.

"Your victory? Last time I remember correctly it was Stryker who defeated the monster, known as Daybreaker, and Twilight Sparkle was the one who sacrificed herself to defeat Nightmare Moon" Lance told him, as Regalias scoffed.

"Eh....whatever....speaking of Stryker, how is he?" Regalias asked, as Lance spoke.

"He's dead" Lance replied, as Regalias faked a sigh.

"Oh" He told him, as Lance spoke again.

"He's gone to the Alicorn's above....you seem a little sad Regalias" Lance told him, as Regalias faked his next word's.

"A fellow pony has died.....that doesn't quite make me happy" Regalias replied, as Lance scoffed.

"That's quite ironic coming from you....it seem's you have changed for the worse Regalias, you always did steal ponies credit for yourself" Lance snarled, as Regalias scoffed.

"I did what I had to do....but I don't take pride in those decision's, Vampra's gone now, and The Grid is safe" Regalias pointed out.

"Speaking of Vampra, her stupidity has cost quite a fortune in our last operation...we'll be requiring compensation for those losses" Lance told him, as Regalias scoffed.

"YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.....Don't forget your talking to the New High Lord" Regalias threatened.

"Don't think because Vampra's gone you can act all high, and mighty.....your position...is a DISPOSABLE one" Lance snarled back, as he unsheathed his wristbracer.

"ALRIGHT THAT'S ENOUGH OUT OF YOU.....DRACONE....ESCORT LA....GOOOOHHH!!!!!!" Regalias cried out, as Lance lifted Regalias, and threw him to the ground with a powerful throw.

"LORD REGALIAS!!!!!!!" Dracone shouted, only to get slashed back into the wall by Lance. Regalias let out a scream, as he was picked up by Lance, and slammed onto the table which then cracked in half from another powerful hit from Lance.

"See.....disposable....my Captain, Lucius is in charge now....if you want to keep your comfortable position here, you best remember that. We have no further need of ponies from The Grid, your tribute instead will be, as before....oh, and one last thing, we're watching you" Lance told him, as he walked out of Regalias's office.

"Are you alright sir?" Dracone asked after recovering from being thrown into the wall, as Regalias growled.

"Make preperation's to fortify our defenses we're not giving them what they want" Regalias ordered.

*****
Clint, and Pixel were fast asleep in the bed's that they had been given for the night....until Pixel woke up with a very loud shout. "STRYKER!!!!!!!" Pixel screamed, waking up, as Clint immedietly woke up, hearing Pixel's scream.

"WHA...HA....HUH?" Clint shouted, now jarred awake. "Did you have another nightmare?" Clint asked, seeing Pixel sweating, and panting nervously.

"Y-Yeah....but, it felt so real" Pixel told her, as Clint nodded.

"AAAAHHH.....but it Wasn't eh....ok, try to calm down, and go back to sleep, we need to spend tommorow gathering supplies for the trip back to The Grid" Clint told her, as Pixel sighed.

"O-Oh....Ok" Pixel shrugged off, as she layed herself back down, closing her eye's, and falling asleep.

The next morning, Clint, and Pixel journeyed to a shop he hadn't been in a long time. The shop was not only a weapon's trading post, but also a small bar, run by a spicy MILF who had been watching over the shop for a long time. She was washing, and cleaning the dishes like she alway's did, until she heard the door to the bar open. "WE'RE CLOSED!!!!!" She shouted, as the door shut with Clint walking inside.

"Even for your favorite pony?" Clint asked in a more friendly tone, as she turned around, her voice becoming absolutely friendly.

"Well fluff ma' tail, and pull my ear's, if it isn't CLINT!!!!!!" She said excitedly, as Clint smiled.

"Hey Tammy" Clint replied with a very heart warming tone.

"Ya' never call anymore....hold up....where's my girl Sinon?" Tammy asked, wanting to see her daughter again, as Clint let out a sad sigh.

"She's....uh.....not around anymore" Clint sighed, as Tammy looked at him confused.

"Whaddya mean?' Tammy asked, as Clint spoke again.

"She's gone....Tammy" Clint replied, as Tammy gasped.....not only to hearing his news, but she also gripped her chest, feeling the pain of how those word's stung her, but also didn't want to cry becasue of how much they had cared for each other.

"Clint.....I'm.....I'm so sorry" Tammy replied.

*****
In another shop, Pixel was talking with a trader, trying to see what she had to offer for value to sell for supplies. "Ummm.....how 'bout this, will this do?" Pixel asked, pulling out a magnifiying glass to trade, as the masked trader facepalmed himself.

"Ugh.....for the last time kid, I told you I can only trade item's with you if it's something of Equal, or Greater value, and frankly.....All you've shown me so far is trash" The trader groaned.

'What about my Grid....." Pixel started, but the trader cut her off.

"NO GRID CREDIT's are excepted here....now if you want me to sell that sword of yours, that's a different story" The trader told her, as Pixel looked at her sword, and then turned back to the trader.

"I can't give you my sword" Pixel replied.

"Well I'm sorry to say kiddo, but no deal" The trader told her, as Pixel stopped him.

"H-Hold on I'm sure I have something in here" Pixel told him, as she began digging through her bag to find something she could trade with.

"Hmmf.....sure you do" The trader grumbled, until Pixel heard a loud clunk....finding something in her bag. She pulled out the same, shiny golden cup, that Stryker had retrieved for Scarlett Twinkle that teleported around, as she pulled it out of her bag.

"Then....how about this?' Pixel asked, holding the artifact in her hand's. The trader looked at her with a fearful look before speaking.

"WHERE.....DID YOU......GET THAT!?!?!?!?!?!?" The trader shouted with shock.

"It was in my bag" Pixel replied, as the trader could not believe her cluelessness.

"DO YOU HAVE......ANY IDEA....WHAT THAT IS!?!?!?!?!?!?" The trader asked, as Pixel shrugged.

"Uh.....no?' Pixel asked curiously.

"That is the most incredibly evil artifact of a time, and place in a past kingdom called Equestria.....the Blood Chalice of Kra'theliak. It is said that incredible sinister chalice's power is able to summon, or even open a portal to the blood dimension, twisted hell know as "The Nightmare Realm" a very tainted chalice" The trader explained, as Pixel stared at it for a long time then turned to the trader with a smile.

"ALRIGHT.....how much you want for the tainted chalice?" She asked in a friendly tone.

"Whoooooaaahhh no thank's kiddo.....I don't want anything to do with that fucking artifact" The trader replied, having his hand's in the air.

"Why not....it's a solid piece of gold" Pixel told him.

"THAT'S BECAUSE IT'S A CURSED, AND EVIL ARTIFACT NOW GET OUTTA MY SHOP!!!!!!!!!" The trader shouted. Pixel was booted out of the shop, as she took a look at the chalice herself, then walked off to find Clint with the chalice in hand.

Clint, and Tammy had time to mourn Sinon's death, and also catch up on other thing's. After that Tammy decided to help them out with a few weapon's she made for him, and also giving him other supplies to help him on his journey. Tammy placed a big suitcase on her desk, and opened it up, pulling out a strange modified pistol. "Take a lookie here....it's a Modfied Calico M960, 100 round Hei-Coolo magazine, fully automatic" She told Clint, handing him the pistol, as he looked at the weapon.

"Custom ordered by Sinon" Tammy told him with a sigh.

"Oh.....n-no...I can't take this" Clint toldher, trying to give her the pistol back.

"Clint.....she'd want you to have it" Tammy told him with remorse, as he took the pistol, and looked down. "She'd also.....want you to have this" Tammy told him, as she handed him a better version of his cannon revolver that he gripped with passion, as she smiled. "She knew how much you looooveeed revolver's, revolver's, revolver's, revolver's....stubby little pony she called ya" Tammy giggled.

"I don't know what to say....I...I...I...I...I don't have the credit's for this" Clint told her, as Tammy waved that off.

"Aw shux Clint you can pay me back after your next job" Tammy smiled, as Clint looked a little down. "What's wrong Clint, ya' too touched for word's?" Tammy asked.

"N-no Tammy....I'm not coming back" Clint told her, as Tammy looked at him with suprise.

"Whaddya mean?" She asked, as Clint looked up at her.

"I'm going home" Clint told her, as Tammy looked at him suprised.

"O-Oh" Tammy realized, as he tried to hand her both revolver's.

"I can't take these" Clint told her, as Tammy shook her head.

"N-No....i-it's okay, consider them a parting gift" Tammy told her, as Clint looked at her.

"So.....I guess this is goodbye then?" Clint asked, as Tammy tried to put on a happy smile.

"Ya' sure making it sound like it" Tammy told him, as Clint sighed.

"Bye Tammy.....thank's for everything" Clint told her, as Tammy gave him a slight wave.

"Goodbye Clint" She told him, as Clint walked out the shop, and closed the door. Tammy looked over at the table that Sinon used to sit at, and it felt like her daughter was trying to tell her to go with him. Tammy sat there for a few minute's, alone with her thought's.

At the power grid of Vanguard outpost, two guard's were watching over the power grid, as they made sure to get the power for the places, working the way it should be. The door to their area was soon opened, as the female shark pony Pixel bumped into before, walked in holding her two scrambling devices. "Good evening gentlemen, quite the chilly night outside isn't it....I've brought you some hot tea, would you care for a cup?" She asked, holding a mug filled with tea, along with an empty cup.

"Where's your ID tag?" The first guard asked.

"Yeah this is a restricted area" Another agreed, as the shark pony smiled.

"Oh....where are my manner's?" She asked, before immedietly pulling out a gun, and shooting them, as they fell to the ground dead. She hooked the central outpost's system's to her hacking devices, while sipping on her tea, and revealing the Raven gang tattoo on her arm. When she had it correctly hooked up, she used the deivce to connect the mainframe to Mortis. "Good evening Mortis" The female shark pony smiled, as the advanced robot turned it's system's on.

"Good evening to you Adjative, got anything juicy for me?" The robot asked, as Adjative giggled.

"Well I wouldn't know what a robot like yourself would consider juicy....but I do have with me....the codes to every electronic terminal of Vanguard Outpost, sending the data bounty.....now" Adjative informed him, as the million's of code, flooded the advanced robot's AI, giving him complete access to Vanguard's defenses. "As for desert.....we have....." She replied, as she fed him a security feed of Pixel, but mostly focusing the camera on Pixel's sword.

"Ah....the holy sword Excalibur....last to be claimed by Vampra, and locked up in her collection" Mortis realized, as Adjative smiled.

"I don't know anywhere else she could have gotten it" She shrugged, while the robot himself oberseved her statement.

"You have a good point, I'll report to the Captain well done Adjative" Mortis told her.

"Alway's a pleasure" Adjative smiled, as she turned the communicator off. She then heard a groan, as one of the guard's she gunned down began to crawl away with his critical wound in the chest. "Oh....how sloppy of me" Adjative said cheerfully, before raising her gun, and shooting the injured guard in the head, killing him.

*****
"Captain, Adjative has succesfully infiltrated the outpost security system's.....we are ready to mobolize on your command" Mortis told Lucius who had a smile on his face.

Episode 7

After the day itself came to a close, Pixel had fallen asleep again, and this time instead of having another Nightmare....she was teleported somewhere else, thanks to the chalice she kept. In the place she was, there was nothing but darkness....the smell of death reeked heavily in the air. She could sense many evil being's around her.....none of them were friendly. In the dark depth's of The Nightmare realm, Pixel was runnning, as fast as she could in this twisted hell. Pursuing her was the blood enhanced Nightmare Foxy....doing every thing it could to claim her soul.

He wasn't alone....Nightmare Freddy also was after Pixel....demonically growling, and letting out roar's of agony. Pixel was running, as fast as she could, coming across a pillar that had three claw mark's embedded in it. Not paying attention.....Pixel fell down a deep dark hole, and landed in an even darker place. She groaned in pain from falling face first, as she immedietly got up....the anamatronic's on her in an instant. Both Nightmare anamatronic's had her cornered with Nightmare Chica also joining to feast on her flesh.

All of them looking even more twisted than ever with the power they recieved. The sound of a gun going off was heard, as Nightmare Stryker appeared. He used his fused arm cannon.....to fire multiple shot's, tearing Nightmare Chica's face apart.
Freddy charged, but Nightmare Stryker's newfound demonic power....stopped him from getting close. Nightmare Stryker used his power to rip off Freddy's arm's, and then curled his clawed hand into a fist.....crushing the anamtronic immedietly.

Foxy charged, but Nightmare Stryker was on him in an instant....lifting, and choking the anamatronic with his clawed hand, and then slamming him on to the ground, and with a swift movement from his claw's.....sliced off Foxy's head. "Stry.....ker?" Pixel asked, as Nightmare Stryker turned to her, sounding a bit demonic.

"Pixel?" Stryker asked, as Pixel ran over, not fully seeing his appearance that blended in with the shadow's.

"STRYKER.....I've missed you so much!!!!!" Pixel cried, as she hugged him, and after she broke the hug, she saw his twisted face.

"S-Stryker....is that.....really you.....my god....what has happened to you?" Pixel asked.

"It's me Pixel....but not as you currently know" Stryker answered.

"Where have you been?" Pixel asked, as Stryker looked at her with suprise.

"Pixel.....how are you in this twisted realm?" Stryker asked, as Pixel let out a sigh.

"I thought you died" Pixel told her, as Stryker went silent the realiaztion of what was currently happening starting to make more sense, as his next word's made her freeze.

"I did" Stryker replied.

"W-what.....t-then....how can we be talking....a-am I dead too?" She asked, her heart rate increasing.

"You couldn't be here unless......" Stryker then gasped, as he heard the metallic clanking sound that signaled Scarlett twinkle's appearance.

"YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE PIXEL......NOW!!!!!!!!" Stryker told her.

"STRYKER.....WHAT'S GOING ON.....I DON'T UNDERSTAND!?!?!?!?!?" She shouted, completely confused.

"This is THE NIGHTMARE REALM PIXEL.....HOW DID YOU GET HERE!?!?!?!?!?" Stryker shouted, as Pixel was now panicking, trying to think.

"I-I-I don't know....I've been having these horrifiying nightmares" Pixel told him, as Stryker immedietly figured it out.

"The cup, the cup, THE GOLDEN CUP!!!!!!" He shouted, as she knew what he was talking about.

"Y-yeah.....it just showed up in by bag" Pixel told him.

"GET RID OF IT PIXEL.....BURY IT, THROW IT DOWN A HOLE.....I DON'T CARE.....AS LONG AS IT'S AROUND....YOUR IN DANGER!!!!!!!" Stryker shouted at her.

"Danger.....from what....what are you talking about?" Pixel asked, as Stryker then started to shake her around.

"No time to explain.....you need to wake up Pixel......WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!" Stryker shouted.

"S-Stryker.....your scaring me" Pixel whined.

"YOU NEED TO WAKE UP BEFORE SHE FIND'S US!!!!!!!!" Stryker screamed.

"S-She.....w-who are you talking about?"" Pixel asked, a little worried, and confused. Scarlett Twinkle then landed nearby with her claw's scraping the bloodied floor. Scarlett Twinkle was no longer wearing any clothing whatsoever. Even though that was the case.....it didn't matter considering how easy it was to pull her body together.....especially since she was in charge of the Nightmare Realm.

"Ah.......boy, oh boy, oh boy....." Scarlett smiled, as her back cracked, and snapped along with the rest of the bones in her body, as she unnervingly stood up with her twisted, insane smile. "....Someone's having a little pony party....." She cooed softly, as Stryker stood in front of Pixel.

"Get behind me" Stryker warned facing his opponent, although showing some sign of fear.

....."And you didn't even INVITE ME!!!!!!!" Scarlett Twinkle smiled, spreading her claw's. Stryker began firing his gun at her, but she sliced his bullet's wiith ease, and used her power's to force Pixel away from him. Her arm morphed into a chain, as her claw's grabbed him, and brought him toward's her, as Stryker screamed.....feeling the demonic power turning against him.....at Scarlett's will.

Scarlett Twinkle looked at Pixel, and then back to Stryker. "Who's she?" Scarlett asked, as Stryker coughed, and growled his voice sounding completely broken.

"Kiss......my......ass.....AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!" He growled, as Scarlett put her foot on his chest.

"Now, now my mate.....that's not a good answer" She grinned.

"We're....not........AAAAAHHH!!!!!!" Stryker groaned, as Pixel's voice changed.

"YOU......TOUCHED.......STRYKER!?!?!?!?!?!?" Pixel hissed, as Scarlett laughed looking at Pixel.

"Hey little pony.....wanna see something hooooott?" She asked spreading her claw's, as she prepared to fuck Stryker against his own will, while also using her claw's to make him bleed, her psychotic laughter echoing through-out the realm.

******
"I'M....AM GOING.....TO KIIIIIILLLLLL THAT BIIIIIIIIITTTTTTCCCCCHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" Pixel screamed in rage, as she woke up....her mane, and tail lighting on fire, and her eyes glowing red. This of course awoke Clint, as he pulled out one of the revolver's Tammy had given him. Before they could continue....the sound of the perimeter alarm was heard, and Pixel's attention was diverted to it.

"That's the security breach alarm" Clint realized, as both he, and Pixel instantly got dressed. Out near the gate's of the area.....four guard's had their weapon's up, while standing guard at the gate.

"Who's out there?" One of the guard's asked.

"iIt's Captain Lucius of the Raven's" Another guard answer.

"Just shoot him already" One of the guard's groaned.

"No.....I'm pretty sure that's a bad idea....why don't you open the gate already....I'll go have a chat with the Dragon" Clint replied, putting his hand on his revovler, while also dressed in his normal attire.

"Whaddya think....the pony think's he can handle them" One of the guard's asked.

"This is central post to command.....open the gate." The guard said over the radio. The gate opened, as Clint saw Lucius near the front gate, waiting for him. Clint knew who he was, having an old Raven's tattoo on his shoulder, seeing his former boss, as he sighed.

"This is not gonna end well" He told himself, as he walked out to make negotation's.

Episode 8

Clint walked up to the crimson dragon, known as Lucius, as he greeted him with a better, yet slightly gruff tone. "Hello Clint" Lucius gruffed, as Clint rolled his eyes.

"What do you want Lucius?" Clint asked.

"You have some information that I want" Lucius growled in response.

"Oh yeah.....and what's that?" Clint asked.

"Word is....you know what went down at Vampra's spire" Lucius growled, as Clint shrugged.

"Maybe I do, maybe I don't....what's it to you?" Clint asked, as Lucius growled.

"DON'T PLAY GAMES WITH ME BOY.....Tell me what I need to know" Lucius asked.

"Or what?" Clint replied with a roll of his eyes.

"Or I'll burn this outpost to the ground" Lucius snarled, as Clint shrugged.

"Go ahead Lucius.....I'd like to see you try" Clint smiled.

"Listen Clint.....everyone Feared Vampra, and all of her mindless underling's....imagine our shock when we found out she was taken down in a matter of hour's. Now....rumor has it that you, and that pink pony had something to do with her downfall, along with a few other's that I don't know about....I offer you this.....join me in my quest to re-form this dump of a world, and I'll offer you a place.....as my right hand man. All I need....is you.....that sword, and the information in that little pony head of your's." Lucius explained, as Clint laughed.

"Are you begging? You've gotten soft" Clint growled.

"Be careful what word's you choose for the next few second's.....Clint" Lucius snarled.

"Yeeeeaaahhh.....how 'bout no" Clint smiled.

"WHAT!?" Lucius snarled in response.

"What are you deaf, did you lose you hearing along with the arm I took?" Clint asked innocently.

"CLIIIIIIIINNNNNTTTT!!!!!!!!" Lucius growled.

"I SAID NO.....do what you want, but I'd rather die than help you again" Clint told him, walking back to the outpost.

"CLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNTTTTTTTT I'M GOING TO BURN THIS OUTPOST TO......THE........GROOOOOOOOUUUUUNNNNDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!" Lucius roared.

"Good luck with that" Clint mockingly winked at him, as he went inside the outpost, while the Dragon stormed off enraged, to get his troop's for the attack.

*****
Back at the outpost....all of the guard's were complaining, and blaming Clint for the attack that was about to come, and were unsure with Commander Ares of fighting back, but he calmed his soldier's down. "Quiet....whether that dragon decides to attack our outpost, or not let us not forget that our defenses.....have NEVER been breached. Prepare for battle.....I want every available combatant at your station's......and you...." Ares growled, turning to Clint. ".....i knew it was a mistake to let you in" Ares scoffed shaking his head.

"I'm gonna guess you want me outta here now?" Clint asked.

"I want you outta here" Ares told him, as Clint began walking off, after Pixel watched that conversation take place.

"What happened?" Pixel asked.

"Grab your stuff.....we need to go....now" Clint told her.

"What......why?" Pixel asked.

"There's a crazy dragon outside, and this place is about to be a warzone" Clint explained.

"AND WE'RE RUNNING AWAY!?!?!?!?!?" Pixel asked.

"Pixel.....you draw that sword of your's, and go out to fight.....and you'll be playing right into his claw's. He want's us to stay, and fight, and die here" Clint explained, as Pixel attempted to protest.

"But....." She started, until Clint cut her off.

"This isn't our world Pixel.....these aren't our people.....now Go get your thing's.....I know another way out of this place" Clint told her.

*****
"Gentlemen....today we take the first step in expanding the grandest scope of thing's. We have offered them a chance to join us.....they have declined" Lucius spoke, as the psychotic laughter of the many Reaver troop's under his command, erupted around him. "Attack swiftly....and SHOW NO MERCY!!!!!!" Lucius shouted, as psychotic roar's of the Reaver's erupted, as they drove their ATV's, and buggy's to Vanguard outpost.....weapon's at the ready. "Mortis....status report?" Lucius asked, opening a communicator.

Mortis was hard to work, re-wiring the defense codes to his body to shut them down, as he finally finished is job. "Defend proficcencies have been drastically lowered, and all gates are ready to be systematically opened under your command" Mortis explained.

"Excellent.....they'll never see us coming" Lucius smiled. The field base that Clint was stopped at to get into the outpost was soon greeted with the Reaver's. A sentry machine gun turret..immedietly opened fire against there enemy's, while the soldier's pulled out there gun's, and took cover.

"VANGUARD OUTPOST THIS IS FIELD BASE INTEGREITY......WE ARE BEING OVERRUN!!!!!!!"

"This is Vanguard outpost....state the nature of your emergency" The outpost reported.

"IT'S THE REAVERS.....THEY'VE ALLIED THEMSELVES WITH THE RAVENS!!!!!!!" The soldier shouted. The Reaver's quickly took down the turret defenses, and then gutted the soldier's defending that area instantly.

"We just lost all contact....activate base wide defenses, the enemy is trying to take us with number's, we cannot let that happen" The soldier that recieved the signal told the guard in charge of raising the outposts defenses who nodded, as he brought the defenses up.

*****
"The Walter WA2000, heavy weight semi-automatic sniper rifle....highest class performance. This puppy here is the Pinnacle of the latest electronic techniques" Tammy told the masked soldier who was looking to buy a gun.

"It's not bad gun....what are attachment's?" The Russian soldier asked.

"Ya got your standard Ark night vision scope, electronic amplifier, and IR thermal scan" She replied.

"Very niiiiiicce...how much you want for gun?" The soldier asked.

"That'll be 12,000 credits" She replied.

"12,000....I can buy tank for that kind of price" The soldier scoffed.

"Boooooyyyy this is one of 176 unit's produced, take it, or leave it" She replied.

"NO DEAL!!!!!!!" The soldier shouted.

"THEN GET OUT.......I OUGHTA CHARGE YA FOR BREATHIN' THE AIR IN MY SHOP!!!!!!!" Tammy shouted, as the soldier walked out of the shop, but stopped, and turned to her, while standing in the doorway.

"Youuuu.....are'a.....Stuuuuuuupid" He said mockingly.

"I TOLD YA' TA GET OUT!!!!!!!" She shouted, while putting the gun away, as the soldier left the shop. At that moment Clint opened the door, looking for Tammy.

"TAMMMY!!!!!!!" Clint shouted in desperation.

"What the......Clint.....I thought ya' left" She told him suprised.

"I'm currently in the process of doing so, but I need your help" Clint answered her, as she stood up.

"What can I do for ya?" Tammy asked.

"You remember that old smuggler's route?" Clint asked.

"Ya mean the gun tunnel?" She asked.

"Yeah that.....we need to use it" Clint answered.

"WE!?!?!?!?" Tammy shouted in confusion.

"Get in here....." Clint groaned, as Pixel poked her head out from the door, revealing herself to Tammy.

"Well butter me up, and call me a biscuit.....you must be Pixel....your a cute little thang" Tammy smiled, with a heartwarming grin.

"Oh....uh...thank you....who are you?" Pixel asked.

"My name is......" She was about to introduce, but Clint was in a hurry, as he spoke instantly.

"She's our ticket outta here" He replied hastily.

Episode 9

In a very cold, and very destroyed hell of black, and darkness. A hooded figure was scouring for supplies from the body's that had died here in the Nightmare Realm. He had seen a lot of destroyed pillar's, as he scanned the many blood stained skeleton's in the area, until he found one holding a radio. "Bingo" Shift smiled, as he went over, and grabbed the radio...taking the skeleton's arm with it, as he shivered. Nightmare Stryker was sitting down at his new hiding spot, after Scarlett Twinkle forcebly having sex with him against his own will.....for the third time. The worst part was.....it felt like he was now starting to enjoy it.

It wasn't his fault really.....his heart still belonged to Pixel, but Scarlett Twinkle was doing everything she could to take everything from him.....so that he would have no choice, but to be her powerful Nightmare Prince, and use their combined power's to invade the real world with nothing to stop them. Every time they did it.....he was injected more of the Nightmare realm's power's into his body, becoming less like himself, and more into a demon of evil. He had been sitting down after his demon spazzes, which led to his psychotic lash out's, and even recklessly killing other Nightmare being's for sheer fun.

He heard Shift approaching, as he gasped....getting his gun ready, and pointing at his intruder. "Huh.....PASSWORD!!!!!!" Nightmare Stryker shouted with his demonic voice. Shift could tell by the sound of the voice....she had gotten to him....again.

"Aw come on Sheriff.....you know it's me" Shift told him.

"PASSWORD!!!!!!!!" Stryker shouted with his gun at the ready.

"Ugh....Uh....I uh....it was....Vampra sux 9000" Shift replied, as Nightmare Stryker lowered his weapon. Shift poked his head out, and looked at him curiously.

"Is this really necessary?" Shift asked.

"Remember the last time?" Stryker asked.

*****
Last time

Stryker had been staring at the fire, that they had made to keep warm, when he had manage to stable his mind...after another spazzing out. The sound of flesh shlicking against a bloody floor was heard, getting Stryker's attention. "Who's there?" Stryker asked, as a green almost immobile pony body similar to Shift was disguised in shadow, and being used as a telepathic puppet.

"Iiittt's.....me" The creature replied.

"Is that you Shift?" Stryker asked. The being behind it was anything, but Shift. It look like a fusion of three plushies of a Pokemon, a Gremlin, and a little girl's stuffed doll....rolled into one freaky nightmare being. Even worse, there were four of these thing's fused together with blood tentacles of zombified flesh, and demonic power. one tendril using the fake pony to speak through it for deception.

"Yesssss....it iiiisssss I.....Shift....just a normal.....Pegasaus" The creature replied.

"Uuuuuhhh yeah....DEFINETLY NOT A PONY!!!!!!" Stryker replied, readying his fusion cannon on his arm.

******
Present time

"So did you find anything useful today? Stryker asked, as Shift pulled out a radio.

"Check it out" He smiled holding the radio.

"Is that?" Stryker began to ask, as Shift smiled.

"Yup.....a radio" He grinned.

"And what exactly are you going to do with that?" Stryker asked.

"I'm gonna figure out a frequency, contact the outside world....and get us outta here." Shift replied.

"I'm pretty sure that's not how it work's around here" Stryker warned him. Shift turned on the radio, triggering a trap in it that send out a massive, loud signal throughout the Nightmare realm.

"You think anyone heard that?" Shift asked. Multiple roar's, demonic scream's, and psychotic laughter erupted so loud that the realm shook from how much sound was heard.....with many revived Nightmare being's, including the one's Stryker killed earlier now getting up....hearing the signal. This even got the attention of Scarlett Twinkle who was sitting on a ledge, waiting to find her beloved Stryker.....and now had a fix on him.....using her power's to activate, and reviving a Nightmare Freddy, and Chica copy which came to life with a loud roar's, and scream's.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK!!!!!!" Stryker shouted, getting his demon power's ready, along with his cannon, as he readied his weapon. "Pack our stuff....we need to move again" Stryker told him. The Nightmare Sheriff hovered high into the sky, as he readied his weapon, and power's.

"You need any back-up Sheriff?" Shift asked.

"I got this" Nightmare Stryker replied, as he waited for his enemies to approach, then saw how many there were.

"Actually No....I don't got this....some back-up would be nice. " Stryker replied.

"I'd thought you'd never asked" Shift replied, as he pulled out a bunch of gun's attached to his mobile fortress slayer outfit that were more than enough with helping to kill a bunch of demon's. Gunfire erupted, while Stryker used both his power's, and gun, as he was finished ripping out one of the anamtronic's eyes....and saw more approaching.

"Just another fucked up day, in the twisted hell.....known as the Nightmare Realm" Stryker growled, his insane other half.....coming out to play.

Episode 10

The solider outside was guarding another part of Vanguard outpost from the outside of the city, making sure that the Raven's didn't get into the city. "Gunbase valley....this is Vanguard outpost, we are detecting multiple hostile's converging on your location" The outpost warned, as the soldier himself scanned the area, not seeing anything.

"Vanguard outpost this is gunbase valley we're not seeing hostile's detected in our vicinity....please advise" The soldier asked, until he heard a strange clicking sound that got his attention. A triangle of three laser dot's appeared out of nowhere, and aimed for his head. The plasma caster fired from the cloaked Bad Blood, as the head of the soldier exploded everywhere, as he fell to the ground dead. The two Yautja de-cloaked, as Lucius approached the two Predator's.

"Well done Mortis.....this was the only guardpost, keeping us from the outpost" Lucius said over the comm's.

"The network was more difficult to hack than expected, but the turret's have been slowed down enough for the Reaver's to do some damage" Mortis reported.

"And the security network?" Lucius asked. As he said that....Adjative was pinned down by two enemy soldier's with Light machine gun's.

"Gentlemen....don't you think that this is a tad bit excessive?" Adjative asked, as the soldier popped out of cover, and fired his revolver, causing her to duck behind cover. "All I'm asking for is your unconditional surrender" She told them.

"We'll never surrender to the likes off you" The soldier snarled, as the shark pony smiled.

"Well then....." She smiled pulling out a huge grenade launcher. ".....I suppose negotiation's have failed" She smiled, as she popped out from cover, blowing the soldier's up with her grenade launcher.

"Taken care of" Mortis told Lucius.

"Good, we'll enter undetected.....Lance what is your eta?" Lucius asked, as Lance was driving as fast as he could to Vangaurd outpost.

"I'm on my way" Lance replied.

"And Regalias?" Lucius asked.

"He got the message" Lance replied.

"Good.....we're breaching the outpost" Lucius told Lance.

"Send me the co-ordinates, I'll be there" Lucius told him.

"I'll expect you to arrive" Lucius told him, as he closed the channel.

*****
Commander Ares was at the stage of the outpost near where his lookout was, as he waited for him to expect company at the front gate, which didn't take him long. "INCOMING REAVERS!!!!!!" A guard shouted, as the motorcycles began driving toward's the entrance. as multiple sentry turret's popped up at the entrace, and began firing at the Reaver's. One Reaver was gunned down, as his ATV crashed onto the ground with a hard collision. "SIR.....THERE'S SOMETHING'S WRONG.....THERE ARE TOO MANY REAVERS GETTING PAST THE TURRET FIRE!!!!!!!!" The lookout told Commander Ares.

"There's something off about the target efficency" Commander Ares told him, as one Reaver driviing a truck stopped, and parked with it's back to the turret's, revealing a muscular Reaver with a massive Minigun. That Reaver opened fire, shredding the turret's with the massive Minigun he had.

"SIR.....WE'RE LOSING TURRETS WAY TOO FAST!!!!!!!!" The soldier told the Commander, who opened a channel to the outpost.

"I WANT ALL AVAILABLE PERSONEL DOWN AT THE GATES.....WE NEED TO MANUALLY COMMANDEER THE REMAINING TURRETS!!!!!!!!" Commander Ares shouted.

*****
Inside Vangurad outpost, Lucius entered the outpost itself, while climbing the wall, and looking around....seeing the outpost, empty. He motioned for the Predator's to move, as the cloaked Yautja followed. Lance also entered the outpost with them, and looked around.....not seeing anything. "You two....kill anything that tries to escape" Lucius ordered, as the Bad Blood's nodded, while he turned to another Bad Blood that had also joined him. "You.....with me....we're going to go assert our dominance" Lucius told him, as the Yautja nodded.

"What about Clint?" Lance asked.

"I NEVER CARED About him.....he just provided an oppurtunity excuse to intiate our attack on this outpost" Lucius growled with a hint of fury in his voice.

*****
Clint poked his head out from one of the building's, along with Tammy who was now wearing a dark cloak around her, so she could blend in a little better. "Hurry now, the secret tunnel's not much further" Tammy told them.

"Here's the plan Pixel.....bike repair's aren't finished, so we're gonna sneak outta here through the gun tunnel. The soldier's here will keep Lucius occupied for us to get out" Clint told her.

"We can't just leave them" Pixel scoffed.

"Pixel....I TOLD YOU....it's not our fight, this is there home" Clint told her.

"This is happening because YOU brought us here.....this is OUR fault" Pixel pointed out.

"PIXEL WE NEED TO GO, STRYKER WOULDN'T HAVE WANTED YOU TO DIE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!" Clint shouted.

"STRYKER WOULDN'T HAVE LEFT THEM LIKE THIS........LIKE A COWARD!!!!!!!!" She scoffed, as she stormed off to help the people of Vanguard outpost.

"PIXEL.....COME BACK!!!!!!!" Clint shouted.

"Ooooh boy you done it now" Tammy told him, knowing how angry she was.

"TAMMY GO AFTER HER.....WE NEED TO GET OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!" Clint demanded.

"Running away from your problem's again?' Lance asked.....appearing behind them, as Clint froze.....recognizing that voice.

"Tammy.....go get Pixel" Clint told her, as Tammy looked fearfully at the pony covered in Yautja armor, and weaponry.

"Oooooohhhhh.....Ah sure hope you know what your dooooiiiiinnnng" Tammy whined, as she took off after Pixel, hoping for the best. "Girly.....come back here" Tammy shouted to Pixel, as Lance spoke to Clint.

"Look's like you haven't changed......one bit....have you.....CLiiinnntt" Lance snarled, as he extened his wristbracer blade, looking for blood.

Episode 11

Fire, and wreckage was now starting to pop up over Vanguard outpost, as the battle raged on between The Raven's, and the outpost itself. Many soldier's were pinned down under constant gunfire from The Reaver's who were laughing, and giggling phsycotically, as they engaged their enemies. The soldier's were holding off the battle, but it was a losing fight, as many of the soldiers were gunned down, until one was left remaining, wounded completely. "He's still alive" One Reaver said to another.

"Well then let's finish him off" He smiled, cocking his Light Machine gun, as the wounded soldier dove behind cover. "What are you waiting for....kill him already" The Reaver snarled, as both of them aimed their gun's at the wounded soldier. Pixel appeared out of nowhere, getting the Reaver's attention, as she threw a smoke grenade which detonated....blinding the Reaver's. Pixel then helped the wounded soldier up.

"Are you ok?" Pixel asked.

"They busted my shoulder....but I can walk" The soldier replied.

"I can't see anything" One Reaver snarled.

"How am I suppose to shoot with this smokescreen?" Another Reaver asked.

"Smokescreen, or not......it's not like you hit anything" A third Reaver grumbled.

"He's right.....SPRAY, and PRAY BOYS....HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!" They laughed, as the gunfire resumed again, forcing Pixel, and the wounded soldier to take cover.

"Get out of here" Pixel ordered.

"WHAT ABOUT YOU!?!?!?!?!?" The soldier shouted.

"Go find safety....I'll buy you some time" Pixel replied. Most of the Reaver's were out of ammo, except for one who still had a single bullet in his revolver. At that point....Pixel stood out in the open with her sword unsheathed.

"Time for some Mortal Kombat" The Reaver shouted, pulling out two curved knives, as he charged at Pixel. She managed to block his attack's, and then pushed him back, as the Reaver slammed his head into a wall, and was out cold.

"Batter up.....GAAAAHHHH!!!!!!" The Reaver shouted, as he charged at Pixel with a baseball bat, only to be sliced in half, by a swing of Pixel's weapon.

"DIIIIEEEEE!!!!!!!" The Reaver shouted, as he fired his gun at Pixel, who ricoched his bullet back at him, killing the Reaver instantly. Pixel looked around the empty battlefield, and heard the clicking of a Predator, as an uncloaked Bad Blood approached her. He pulled out his Plasma Caster, and fired. Pixel blocked the blow, but was forced back by the attack. The Yautja fired his Plasma Caster again, and Pixel was slammed into a buidling....hitting the ground hard.

Pixel groaned, as she looked at where her sword had fallen from out of her hand, as the Yautja approached her. Pixel began to crawl toward her sword.....but the Yautja was already on her, as he pulled out of his wristbracer.....ready to gut his prey. "HEY!!!!!!!" Tammy shouted, getting the Yautja's attention. "Why don't you pick on your own size" Tammy smiled, as she fired a hand held.....Tank gun which discharged a powerful round, slamming him into a building with a gutteral splash of blood, and another blast dis-charged, destorying the building. Tammy lowered the weapon, and approached Pixel.

"You alright girly?" Tammy asked.

"Thank's" Pixel smiled.

"Don't mention it little lady.....now....let's git ya' back to Clint.....so the two of ya, can hi-tail it outta this place" Tammy told her.

"I'm not leaving these people to fend for themselves" Pixel told her.

"Don't you worry nothin' about these folk.....ain't a thing you can do for 'em that they couldn't do for themselves" Tammy told her.

"But....I wanna help" Pixel told her, as Tammy shook her head.

"No but's.....my boy Clint is probably worrying his silly little head off waitin' for you" Tammy told her, as Pixel scoffed.

"Clint doesn't care about me....he doesn't care about ANYONE!!!!!!" She mentioned, as Tammy stopped her with that sentence.

"Ooooooooh girl you have no idea how much he cares about you" Tammy told her, as Pixel froze in her track's.

"Does he.....well he has a poor way of showing it" Pixel told her.

"He's never been much of a charmer dearie.....but believe me when I say he's got a crush on you bigger than a thing's evenin' of a Southern family re-union" Tammy told her, confusing Pixel.

"W-what?" Pixel asked.

"Oh nothing" She smiled, waving her hand. The laughter of Reaver's was heard nearby, as Tammy turned to her, and spoke.

"Let's get outta here" She winked, as Pixel nodded in response.

Episode 12

Gunfire went off in one specific location, as Clint fired his revolver at Lance who shredded the bullet's with a single wave of his Wristbracer. "LANCE......I don't want to fight you" Clint told him, as Lance raised his Wristbracer.

"I don't wanna hear it Clint" Lance snarled, as he charged at Clint with full speed.

*****
During The Great Nightmare War

After his argument with Stryker in the med bay.....Clint was in the middle of walking out of the base, with the alarms blaring in his ear's, until he heard a voice speak up. "What's going on?" Lance asked him, as he looked at Clint. "I heard you arguing with Stryker" Lance told him, as Clint sighed.

"I'm done with this war.....I'm outta here" Clint grumbled.

"That's difficult to believe.....there's not many places we can go" Lance told him, as Clint looked at him confused.

"We?" Clint asked.

"Yeah.....I'm coming with you.....your my brother....brother's stick together" Lance told him.

"Hmmph, come on then" Clint told them, as the two journeyed outside of Equestria.

*****
Present day

Lance picked up part of a building, and threw it at Clint, knocking him into another building. Clint groaned, getting up from the attack, as he snarled. "LANCE THAT COULD HAVE KILLED ME!!!!!!" Clint warned.

"TOO BAD IT DIDN'T!!!!!!!!" Lance shouted enraged.

*****
The Past

Clint, and Lance wandered through the stromy, and sandy areas of the Wastelands. Lance noticed that his brother was getting al little weak, and picked him up, to continue onward. "Come on....there's a few light's up ahead, we're probably close to some sort of civilization" Lance told them, as they journeyed toward's the light.

******
Present

"All I've ever done was try to look after you" Lance snarled.

"Yeah.....you did a real good job of that.....didn't you" Clint snarled with a roll of his eye's.

*****
Past

Both Lance, and Clint were tied up to a few dusty wall's, after being captured by Crazy Jack, and the deadly Reaver's. "Oh yeah Lance....this is some civilization alright" Clint said sarcastically.

"I am soooooo sorry" Lance shot back.

"Oh "Let's go to the light's" you said..."We'll find help" you said" Clint answered sarcastically.

"I SAID I WAS SORRY!!!!!!!!" Lance shouted.

"Ooooohhh don't worry....I'm not going to hurt you, I'm only just going to rip out your magic, and use it to power our motorcy.....oh wait that is certainly hurting you....hmhmhmhmh.....AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!" Crazy Jack laughed, until he heard gunfire erupt from afar. "WHO'S DOING THAT!?!?!?!?!?!?" Crazy Jack shouted.

"IT'S THE RAVEN'S.....RUN AWAY!!!!!!!!!" A Reaver screamed, as gunfire erupted all around them.

*****
Present

Clint was thrown into a building through the window, and landed onto the cold hard floor with a pained grunt. Lance jumped through the window, and landed with perfection, as he stared at his opponent. "I thought you would have gotten stronger by now, but it look's to me your still the same as before" Lance scoffed, as Clint began firing his revolver at him.

*****
Past

Lance, and Clint were now in front of a campfire with Sinon, and a few other member's, and a very young looking Lucius who spoke to his newcomer's. "We are The Raven's, and as you can see we are the only form of order around these part's. You see....out here in the Waste's....chaos rule's, and justice has no meaning. Everyone is out for themselves.....but not us, we don't believe in that. I desire equality......A PEACE ABOVE ALL ELSE! My friend's have died fighting for my ideals. Good men.....HAVE DIED, pursuing my dream's" Lucius explained to them.

"So is this like an open invite to join your little ragtag group of freedom fighter's?" Clint asked.

"Straight to the point.....I like that, yes.....we are recruting...what do you say?" Lucius asked.

"Suuuuurrree....why not?" Clint shrugged, as Lance nodded in agreement.

*****
Present

Lance was able to block all of the bullet's from Clint's revolver, as Lance growled. "We had everything back at Equestria.....friend's....family.....a home, and a shelter" Lance growled, as Clint ran out of ammo, and snarled.

"Your the one who wanted to follow me out" Clint reminded him.

"I THOUGHT YOU HAD A PLAN!!!!!!!!!" Lance shouted.

"Plan....yeah I had a plan, learn....adapt.....maybe make a few friend's" Clint told him.

"YOU CAN'T MAKE FRIENDS IN THIS WORLD!!!!!!!!!" Lance shouted.

"Oh yeah.....maybe your just bitter becasue you never made any friend's" Clint told him, re-loading his revolver.

*****
Past

The two were at the Raven's firing range, seeing the huge line of gun's that lined the wall's, and were being fired, as the two watched in awe. "Did you think about what kind of gun you wanted?" Clint asked, watching the gunfire continue, while Lance stayed silent. "I know what I want....that thing is soooo cool" Clint smiled, seeing a man shooting a revovler.

"That there's a revolver......whoop's didn't mean to startle ya" A young Tammy replied who was dressed in small uniforn that showed off some of her cleavage, along with a tight mini-skirt that showed off her long leg's. "Name's Tamania....but everyone call's me Tammy" Tammy smiled.

"P-Pleasure to meet ya Tammy, my name's Clint" Clint introduced, as Tammy gasped.

"LIKE CLINT EASTWOOD!?!?!?!?!?" She asked with a small giggle.

"Who?' Clint asked, as Tammy picked him up, and began shaking him around.

"LIKE CLINT EASTWOOD.....HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW CLINT EASTWOOD, Don't you got movies where your from?" Tammya asked.

"What the fuck is a movie?" Clint asked, as Tammy gave him a deadpanned look.

"No wonder you left" Tammy sighed, as she took him over to her little gun shop she had. "Back when the old day's....you know, really old, before the world became what it is.....people used to go to see movies for leasure, and entertainment. They'd all sit around together in a huuuuuuge dark room, and watch movies on an ENOURMOUS screen.....boy I wish I was around then to see them" Tammy smiled.

"What happened to them?' Clint asked.

"Weeeellll....the world became a bad place, and with it......a lot of good thing's went away. Anyhoo....here catch" She smiled throwing a gun in Clint's face, making him collaspe to the ground. "Oh come on....it ain't THAT heavy" Tammy told him.

"Y-You got anything smaller?" Clint asked with a pained grunt. Sinon pulled the cannon revolver that he would have for a while off the wall, and gave it to him.

"Try this on for size" She told him, as Clint gripped the gun, and smiled.

"I like it...oooofff" He groaned, as Sinon placed what would be his signature army helmet on his head, and then stepped back with her mother to get a better view/opinion. Clint got it on properly, and turned to the girls.

"Well?" He asked.

"Hmmmm" Sinon told him, as Tanny smiled. "It look's good on you" Sinon pointed out with a smile.

"Whaddya think?" Clint asked his brother who was also in the room, who turned away with a grunt.

"You look like an idiot" Lance grumbled.

*****
Present

"I didn't come out here for a war" Clint explained, as Lance grabbed a table with a growl.

"You know exacly where I stand" Lance snarled, and hurled the table at him, as Clint dodged the attack "Not only are you a coward.....your a traitor....to Equestria, and to your own brother" Lance told him, as Clint threw the table off himself, as he snarled.

"ALRIGHT LANCE.....IF IT'S A FIGHT YOU WANT.....IT'S A FIGHT YOU'LL GET!!!!!!!!" Clint snarled, raising his pistol at his former brother.

Episode 13 (Season Finale)

Pixel, and Tammy poked there head's around the corner, looking to see if they were clear, as they headed out to the smuggler's route to escape. They passed, wrecked vehicle's, dead Reaver's, and even dead soldier's, as the battle continued to rage on throughout the outpost. Commander Ares was also in the heat of the battle, facing off against his enemies, until Lucius found the Commander himself. "How goes the attack?" Lucius asked one of the Reaver's.

"Hahahahaha....they're running out of manpower, and bullet's" The Reaver told him, as Lucius smiled.

"Excellent....they won't last much longer.....it's about time we wrapped thing's up here" Lucius grinned. Elsewhere, Pixel, and Tammy were running, as fast as possible to get to that route, until Mortis appeared out of nowhere. Tammy fired her tank gun, but Mortis moved the bullet with his hand, and used the other to bring Pixel close to him, but Tammy fired another shot diverting Mortis's attention.

"Get outta here Pixel.....I'll handle this tin can" Tammy told her, as she fired another shot, knocking Mortis back a bit. Pixel managed to run away, while Mortis used his magnet like power's to rip the gun from Tammy's hand, and break it with his own mechanical claw's.

"You'll handle me.....will you?" Mortis asked, as Tammy pulled out another pistol, only for Mortis to yank it from her grasp, and crush it with his bare claw's. "You cannot surpass my electromagnetic defense system" Mortis told her.

"We'll see about that" Tammy snarled.

"Your weapon's are useless......your attempt.....to destroy me....is futile" Mortis told her, as Tammy cracked her knuckles, and charged forward. "You really think you can....." Mortis lost track of his word's, as Tammy punched him with a pair of electric shock gloves that appeared to be the normal gloves she wore. Mortis had taken a few hit's, and looked up at her with suprise. Tammy immedietly began ripping apart his circuit's, until the adavance robot himself, finally shut down.

*****
Clint kept firing his revolver at Lance, but his former brother was too fast, as he charged forward, and slashed at him with his Wristbracer...knocking him back. Clint attempted to fire his revolver again, but was out of ammo, as he growled. "Ah Come On" Clint groaned, until another slash from Lance, knocked him into a hard metal slab. Lance then picked him up, and threw him against some wood, making it crash, and break, as Clint groaned.

"Tell me Clint....what's it like running out of bullet's?" Lance asked, as Clint shook off the hit, and turned to his brother.

"Huh....you get used to it" Clint shrugged, as Lance readied his wristbracer.

"Your finished.....RAAAHHHH!!!!!!" Lance shouted, as he charged at Clint. The blue pony dodged out of the way, as Clint pulled out the other pistol that Tammy gave him, and opened fire, as Lance blocked the bullet's, but becasue of how powerful the shot's were.....he was eventually thrown back into another pile of wood.

"How do you like me now?" Clint smiled confidently, as Lance popped up, and fired a hi-tech flamethrower, which set fire to the place around them, as Clint dodged the flames.

"Your not the only one with the cool toys" Lance snarled, until he noticed that Clint had vanished. Lance was surpised attacked, by Clint who quickly tackled him, and threw him against more wood, and raised his pistol to his former brother's head. "If your gonna kill me....do it already" Lance huffed, as Clint sighed.

"Why would I ever kill you.....your my brother I never wanted to leave you Lance to this day....I regretted that I did that" Clint told him with a shake of his head.

"Then you should have STAYED with me" Lance told him, as Clint shook his head.

"No.....I should have brought you with me.....come with me Lance.....let's go home" He offered, extending his hand toward's him.

"No.....I'm not going back" Lance sighed, turning away from Clint.

"Mmmm.....goodbye then" Clint told him, as he walked off to find Pixel.

*****
Commander Ares growled, knowing that he was surrounded, and he also gripped the ground in anger....his troop's dead, and him being the only one standing.....and Lucius knew this. "COME ON OUT ARES.....YOU FOUGHT BRAVELY, BUT NOW ITS TIME TO SURRENDER.....AND SUBMIT TO ME!!!!!!!!!" He roared, Ares checked his surrounding's, before pulling out his pistol's.

"I'll never surrender to scum like you" Ares snarled, as he charged out in the open, and began gunning down, as many of The Reaver's, as he could, while Lucius scoffed.

"Adjative......take aim" He told her, as the female shark pony was now on the roof with a sniper rifle in her hand's. Commander Ares ran out of bullet's, and was ready to use his fist's, as a weapon, but a shot to the head from Adjative, ended his stand, and life.....for good.

"Now.....with Ares out of the picture.....the outpost belong's to us.....sweep the street's, and round up the survivor's.....let it be known that we mean business" Lucius told his troop's, as the Reaver's psychotic laughter erupted around him, as the Bad Blooded Yautja also laughed with the Reaver's. "Lance report" Lucius told him, only getting nothing in response. "Laaaannnce" Lucius snarled, still getting nothing in response, as he closed the channel.

"Adjative" Lance told her, as she opened a radio to him.

"Yes sir?" She said soothingly.

"I need a bird's eye view of the outpost" Lucius told her.

"Understood sir" She replied, as he spoke his next word's.

"FIND LANCE, and if Clint is with them.....SHOOT HIM ON SIGHT!!!!!!!" He shouted.

"It wil be my pleasure sir" The shark pony replied with a smile.

*****
Pixel was peaking her head arond the corner's of the building making sure it was clear, until Clint bumped into her. "Pixel?" Clint gasped, as Pixel heard him.

"Clint?" She asked, as he walked up to her, and spoke.

"Don't you go running off like that again.....you had me worried" Clint told him, as Pixel deadpanned.

"Oh....reaaally?" She asked, as Clint blushed.

"Er....I mean.....uh.....come on.....we don't have much time" Clint told her, as he grabbed her hand, and led her over to a certain area. "See that trash can over there.....there's a garbage chute that lead's right down to the gun tunnel....problem is it's out in the open....we're gonna have to make a run for it" Clint told her.....unaware that Adjative had locked onto him with her sniper rifle, while Pixel wasn't the target do to her being in the shadow's. "You ready?" Clint asked.

"Y-yeah" Pixel nodded, as Clint began to run....until Adjative shot, and Clint was hit.

"Bogey....north of the outpost....can't confirm the kill" Adjative reported to Lucius.

"EVERYONE.....TO THE NORTH OF THE OUTPOST.....NOW!!!!!!!" Lucius shouted, as the Reaver's cackled, taking off.

"Clint....Clint.....CLINT......GET UP!!!!!!!" Pixel shouted, as Clint groaned, feeling the blood gushing from a very critical wound.

"Grrrr.....h-how bad is it?" Clint asked, as Pixel realized how bad the wound was.

"U-Uhm.....your....Uhm.....y-your gonna....." Pixel stammered, as Clint coughed.

"Pixel....listen....."He began, but Pixel cut him off.

"N-no....save your energy" Pixel told him, but Clint sighed.

"Uuuggh....I....enlistened in the war, because....I don't know.....I thought if I did something heroic......m-m-maybe I'd catch your attention......*chuckles*.....Fat chance though......I never had a chance......competing with a stallion like Stryker......and then just.....nothing was worth it after that" Clint told her, as Pixel shook her head.

"NO.....DON'T SAY THAT!!!!!!!" She shouted, but Clint coughed up more blood, as he sighed, until he heard footstep's.

"Oh no" Tammy gasped, coming across the two.

"Go.......NOW!!!!!!" Clint told Pixel, as she completely refused.

"NO.....STOp.....stop.....we came here together, and we're going to leave together" Pixel told him.

"Uh-oh" Tammy realized, hearing the psychotic laughter of the Reaver's approaching. "There's nothin' we can do for him Pixel.....WE NEED TO GO!!!!!!!!" Tammy told Pixel.

"I'm.....so sorry" Pixel cried, as she used a smokescreen bin, as cover, causing one of the Reavers to shoot it.

"YOU IDIOTS......ADJATIVE TAKE OUT THE PONIES!!!!!!!!" Lucius shouted through the comm's with Lance near his side, after re-grouping with him.

"No can do Commander.....smokescreen's too thick" She told him.

"RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAHHHH........AAAAAAFFFFTTTTEEEERRRR THEEEEEEEEEMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!" The dragon roared, as the Raven's began chasing after the survivor's they had found which was Tammy, and Pixel, gunfire ripping through the area. "It's time for all of this to end.....Bring me the Rocket launcher" Lucius ordered, as the Reaver gave him the rocket launcher, as Lance gave him a curious look.

"Don't you think this is a bit excessive?" Lance asked, as Lucius snarled.

"Nonsense.....you can never be too careful with ponies" Lucius snarled, as he aimed it at his enemies.

"You know......" Lance began, his voice tone taking a very dark tone, as he spoke his next word's. "......your right" He smiled, as he unsheathed his Wristbracer, and slashed at Lucius who roared in pain....from the deadly Wristbracer attack, as the rocket's he fired from the launcher went askew, and slammed into Tammy's shield, as she threw Pixel aside, and blocked it.

"GET OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!!!" Tammy shouted, as she blocked the onslaught of gunfire from the Reaver's.

"TAMMY!!!!!!!!" Pixel shouted.

"DON'T YOU DARE LOOK BACK!!!!!!!!" Tammy shouted, as Pixel ran to the escape chute. Clint groaned, getting up....hearing Pixel having trouble, as he limped toward the battlefield. Lance was thrown to a brick wall, as Lucius stood above him.....clearly pissed off.

"YOU TRAAAAAIIIITTTTOOOORRRR!!!!!!!!" Lucius roared, as he ripped the Wristbracer off Lance's hand, and gutted him with it. Pixel continued running, as Clint limped toward's Lucius, as he raised his gun, and took out many of the Reaver's. Tammmy was knocked off her feet, by a rocket launcher from one of the Reaver's. Pixel stopped running, and locked eyes with Clint for a few minutes, and then finally left.

"Goodbye......Pixel" Clint told her, as he fired at the Rocket Launcher that Lucius carried....killing him....The Reaver's....Tammy....Adjative....Lucius, and even himself.

*****
Pixel fell down the hole, and came to a stop......as she took a look back, hearing the explosion's. "I'll make sure your sacrifices weren't....i-in vain" Pixel said, her voice breaking.....she had only walked a few step's....until she couldn't take it anymore. She sat on the cold metal surface, and bursted into a stream of tear's. Uncontrolling sobbing, and crying overwhelmed her with all that had stacked up. Most of her species......dead....her lover Stryker.....dead.....her only somewhat friend Clint.....dead.....not only had she been captured, and witnessed horrible thing's because of Vampra, but she had lost everything.

Every person around her she knew, or got to know always died, and all of that grief had stacked up. She had no one to be with.....nowhere to go, and she didn't even know where this tunnel led.....she was all alone. She was in the middle of feeling the tear's stream down her face....until she sensed something. Pixel looked up at the ceiling.....feeling something out there....something she hadn't felt in a long time that jarred her memory of what she had said when she woke up earlier.

At first she thought that seeing Stryker go through that...and that disturbing, naked pony.....was all just traumatic Nightmare's that were playing with her head.....but she sensed it. The soul of her lover, crying out her name in agony.....longing to get home to her....a soul that could be revived, but was currently lost....she barely sensed it, but it was there....calling to bring him home. "STRYKER!!!!!!" Pixel gasped, her face a mess from her crying. She immedietly wiped her tear's, and climbed into the vehicle....making sure that in her bag....The Blood chalice would never leave it's place.

She needed it to bring her lover back, from the dead. Pixel climbed into the only supply truck that still had fuel left, as determination filled her. "I'm coming for you Stryker.....and I'll make sure I bring you back....AND....MAKE......THAT........BITCH........PAY!!!!!!!!!" Pixel snarled, as she started the engine, and drove off.

*****
The dead Nightmare being was slammed to the ground in the Nightmare Realm, as Nightmare Stryker groaned....running out of energy, as Scarlett Twinkle looked at him, while seeing the dead bodies of demon's around her. "Ooooohhh.....my mate is succeeding better at these test's....you must reeeeaaaally like me" Scarlett purred, as Nightmare Stryker snarled.

"I.....AM.....NOT.....YOUR.....MATE!!!!!!!" Stryker snarled, as Scarlett Twinkle smiled.

"I'm aaaafraaaaiiidd you don't have much choice....but don't worry the test is still in play.....let's see if you die, or not" Scarlett Twinkle smiled, as Nightmare Stryker readied his weapon, and power's.

"I can do this all day" Nightmare Stryker told her, as Bendy cackled.

"Let me take a whack at him boss...." He smiled holding the axe, as Stryker got up....ready to continue fighting....hoping to be rescued, if anyone knew he was still alive.

To be continued in Season 5

And now....the conclusion

Author's Note

Sorry for the long wait for this....originally was going to be written long ago, but I put the character sketches on the back-burner for a littlee while. I've been meaning to writing been, but since I've started working again, I did the character sketches at work....thankfully...everything is finished now, so here is Season 4
