The group left Stable 190 and Purple looked at his Pipbuck and set a marker on his map to the railyard that they took to Fillydelphia.

Along the way they passed several old buildings including a old fire station which lead Purple to say "Old fire station. They couldn't stop the world from burning. Probably got some nasty creatures in it."

Purple then noticed Rocky, Midnight, Critical, Starry and the Crystal Earth Pony walk over to the old and derelict firehouse; where it was just Purple and Paladin Sapphire Heart.

"Come on Purple." said Rocky, "A Radstorm is coming. Let's seek shelter."

By the door, Purple used his wing and got a bobby pin and a screwdriver where the Crystal earth pony thought he pulled them out of his ass only to realize he pulled them out of his short tail.

"Voila!" exclaimed Purple, "Door's unlocked.".

Purple then opened the door and they went in only to see a huge Radscorpion and Purple entered S.A.T.S and it said, "Radscorpion Queen"

"If this a queen." said Purple, "I would hate to see a king if there is one. If so then the duo."

The Radscorpion queen was a nightmare but Purple them shot in different areas with Purple shooting the tension, Midnight and Rocky shot the pinchers, Starry, Critical, and Paladin Sapphire just shot the Radscorpion's that's in the room protecting the queen.

It looked like it shrugged off the bullets and it felt like it took forever to stop it. They finally were able to kill it and the Radscorpions. They saw old destroyed fire wagons and old rusting fire poles and a door which they went through and met some stairs.

"It's too quiet." said Critical, "Wondering what's going on."

They went upstairs and saw some Ghouls which Purple used his Pipbick and all of them said "Feral Ghoul Firemare" or "Feral Ghoul Fire Stallion" and they killed them before they were detected.

"Sleep tight fire pones." said Purple, "Your suffering is over now."

There were several rooms which the closest had beds, another room was the kitchen and dining room. The third room was the bathroom and the final room was the chief's office.

___
In the Chief's office

Paladin Sapphire sat down and hacked into the computer and it says "Fire Department town of Starlight" and she found some files.

File A. Arsons
File B. Incidents
Files C. Reports.

Paladin Sapphire chose File B and it said, "Structure fire last night at 234 Princess Luna Road. His wife and three foals were saved but the house wasn't saved. Husband is out of the picture when asked because he was caught cheating on the wife with his secretary before being drafted into the war. That was what his ex-wife said."

"Cart accident. Somepony's cartwheel got broken and went downhill nearly killing the mayor."

Paladin Sapphire then backed out and chose File C and said, "Drunk person said negative things to Ms. Sunflower and she threatened to shove a Halligan bar down his throat."

Paladin Sapphire went to file A and there were several lists.

"Smoke reported at the school. We responded to the School and the entire west side of the school was on fire. Were able to save all the colts and fillies but it took the towns of Elmsfield and Big town to aid us in fighting the fire. It took a whole day. Starlight Sheriff's office is currently investigating the arson. I'd say it's those Zebra's trying to kill our foals and I say they will stoop that low."

Purple sat on a bed and he lay down on a bed and set an alarm on it for two hours.

Rocky Road and Midnight Twister were in the kitchen looking for food and beverages and Critical/w Starry and the Crystal Earth pony mare just stood around not doing anything.

***
Two hours passed and Purple for up because of his Pipbuck waking him up.

"Glad that they built an alarm in the Pipbuck 3000's," said Purple, "So we can get up at a specific time."

Purple then carefully looked at an old fire pole, he gulped and he carefully wrapped his hooves around the old pole. He slid down it was when he got to the first floor/ apparatus bay of the old firehouse and he blew onto his two frontal legs. The fire pole gave him friction burns because it hasn't been maintained in two hundred years and the elements of the wasteland.

"Let's go way gotta git tuh Chicoltgo." said Purple, "It's uh long trip ahead uh us."

"He said," said the Stable Dweller mare, "Let's go we got to get to Chicoltgo. It's a long trip ahead of us."

They all agreed and joined Purple. They walked to the same railyard that they road to Fillydelphia and got on the same train.

"These rocks will suffice for the trip," said Paladin Sapphire, "Alright get in the caboose and rest while I drive the train."

Paladin Sapphire then lit up her magic, started a fire in the train's engine, shoveled some coal that was shipped from "The Island" that was captured by Equestrian soldiers a very long time ago.

***

In the caboose behind the Engine.

Purple lay down on the old chair and decided to go back to sleep as the others sat in the chairs but Rocky and Midnight sat in the furthest caboose and looked out the window to make sure raiders or slavers don't try to raid them.

Critical just sat on a chair looking out at the clouds above, Starry did the same as Purple and went to bed and the Stable Dweller mare just looked at her Pipbuck 3000.

***
Several hours later.

"Aw shit we got company," said Midnight Twister, "Rocky we got raiders!"

Midnight Twister then used his magic to hold his hunting shotgun. He smashed out the window and fired at the raiders hitting a few with the buckshot rounds. The shotgun blasts awaken Purple and Starry where Purple and Critical ran back and joined them.

Purple just used his magic to fire his 7.62mm Battle rifle by aiming down the sight and even though it's automatic he fired in a controlled burst.

"Fuckin' raider!" exclaimed Purple, "Thay're uh dawgone nuisance."

"What the fuck did you say?" asked Midnight Twister,

Purple replied, "Fucking raiders! They're a damn nuisance."

"Missile launcher!" yelled Rocky Road, "Get down!"

A raider unicorn fired a missile launcher at the caboose blowing the top half off.

Purple saw Rocky so he ran over to her and he used his magic and removed the piece of hot steel out of the side of her neck and a piece of wood that's in her neck as well.

"It's gunna bay alright Rocky," said Purple, "Ahl gunna do everythin' in mah power tuh save yawl. Thus iz gunna hawht uh lot."

"What did you say?" asked Midnight

Purple replied, "It's going to be alright Rocky. I'm going to do everything in my power to save you. This is going to hurt a lot."

Purple used his magic and ripped the hot steel and piece of wood out of Rocky Road's neck and he used the medical stuff he had to perform combat triage on Rocky Road.

"Thank yawl Stable 190." said Purple happily, "Thank yawl fahwar thus advanced medical trainin' or thus "combat triage" the ah wuz taught in thuh medbay."

"Will you speak normally Luna FUCKING DAMN IT!" exclaimed Midnight.

"I'd said," said Purple, "Thank you Stable 190. Thank you for this advanced medical training or this "combat triage" that I was taught in the medbay."

They saw another missile come so Purple used his magic and moved Rocky, Midnight, Critical, and himself into another caboose and disengaged the caboose they were in.

"Fuck that was close," said Midnight, "Thanks."

Purple just nodded his head.

"Vertibuck," said Starry, "Inbound. Friendlies."

"Nope hostiles," said Purple, "Get down,"

The vertibuck opened fire destroying the caboose they were in but they were able to crawl into the other and Purple unhitched it.

All but Rocky and Paladin Sapphire looked at Purple. He shifted through his saddlebag and pulled out all of his EMP grenades and used his magic to throw them at the Vertibuck.

"Eat that you fucking cocksuckers!" yelled Midnight, "Fuck yeah."

There was a huge explosion of the Vertibuck blowing up.

"Thuh road," said Purple, "Thuh road is gunna git hayuder an hayuder as more closer way git tuh Chicoltgo,"

The Stable dweller replied, "The road. The road is going get harder and harder as more closer we get to Chicoltgo."

They passed a rail sign which says "CHICOLTGO 1963 MI"

All but Paladin Sapphire went to go to sleep or just rested up and slept throughout the night. Doesn't help that Paladin Sapphire acted as a filly and used her magic to pull the whistle cord to activate the whistle. Really didn't help when it was nighttime.

As the sun hit their eyes in the morning to wake them up they felt the train slowing down and they saw a city on the horizon and they got up and got their stuff.

"Welcome to what was the city of Chicoltgo," said Paladin Sapphire, "We passed through here while on our way to the Undiscovered West. That's a different story."

"What happened?" asked Midnight Twister.

"I was raped," said Paladin Sapphire, "I helped a patrol of Senior Paladin, a Paladin, and a Crusader. Well. They used a lockup grenade on me. They removed my armor and the effects of the "Lockup grenade" last for an hour. After we got back to their base I used a steel rebar thing and did a homemade abortion to make sure I didn't get pregnant."

They just disembarked the train and walked through an old train station. They saw skeletons everywhere of ponies either taking the train to visit relatives or coming back from vacations or something like that.

They followed Purple and Purple watched where he stepped because he doesn't want to disturb the dead. It took a while but they made it outside. It was windy and getting cold.

They went north, but the weather became so cold they had to seek shelter so they wouldn't freeze to death. The shelter they chose was an old run-down Chicoltgo Police Station. They saw some Steel Rangers insignias on the outside.

"Hello?" said Purple, "Anypony home?"

"Fuck the Steel Rangers," said Midnight Twister, "This is our temporarily new home."

"Purple what are you doing?" asking Paladin Sapphire.

"Lockpicking," said Purple, "Now I need my concentration."

Purple was lockpicking several locked ammo containers and it was a success.

There were a lot of 7.62mm rounds and fragmentation grenades which the grenades were equally shared. The second box had 5.56mm rounds which were given to Rocky Road, and some 12 gauge shotgun shells which were given to Midnight Twister.

"Yore mighty welcome," said Purple, "Fahwar thuh ammo an sum supplies."

The Stable Dweller mare said, "You're mighty welcome. For the ammo and some supplies."

"Who's mighty stupid tuh leave thus hare?" asked Purple, "Wayul it's ours now. Hare yawl go Amazonite."

Amazonite replied, "He said. Who's mighty stupid to leave this here. Well it's ours now. Here you go Amazonite." she also placed on the Minigun battle saddle.

"Wonder where he's going?" asked Paladin Sapphire, "Hey Purple? Where you going?"

"Going to find a map to see where we should head next," said Purple in his non- Southern accent.

They soon lost Purple who went to the second floor and went into the old briefing room where there is a map of all 23 Chicoltgo Police precincts and a map of the whole city.

"Way is hare." said Purple, "Way should go tuh Hogget Manufacturin' Headquarters in Downtown."

"I think your accent is cute," said Paladin Sapphire, "I'm the only one who doesn't have a problem with it. Do you know what the three most precious things in the Wasteland are, Purple? Besides survival, food, and water."

Purple replied, "Wha thank yawl Paladin Sapphire Heart. Chur thonly wum who hasn't complained. I mean why thank you. Your the only one who hasn't complained."

Purple then placed his right hoof to his chin and started to think until he heard a booming sound where he looked out of a partially cracked window and saw storm clouds with lighting and the sound of thunder.

"You know we could just," said Paladin Sapphire, "Spend some "quality time" together?"

"I don't know what you mean?" said Purple

"Have sex damn it." said Paladin Sapphire Heart, "For a month I've done nothing but tried to woo you in more than one way. But everyone went right through you and you didn't even notice."

Purple's face turned red and he blushed and said, "Oh. Well in the "sex" department I'm severely lacking because I'm not my older brother."

Paladin Sapphire replied, "Oh I see. You're called "Clean-minded" not "Dirty-minded" now I can see why you didn't catch on to my advances." she then got out of her power armor and walked over to Purple and started to kiss him and had sex. Purple entirely didn't want a "repeat" of "last time".

Paladin Sapphire even felt that Purple felt uncomfortable with it.

"What's wrong?" asked Paladin Sapphire, "Don't say you don't like mares."

"No not that," said Purple, "Just it's been at least a month by now if not a little bit longer than the Grand Pegasus Enclave forces under Lieutenant Honey Cake's forces, and she had one hundred and five mares under her command to have sex with me so they could get pregnant. Instead of them going back up to the clouds to be labeled "sluts" or something bad for getting pregnant by a "wastelander" so Lieutenant Honey Cake had a small town built for them."

"Don't worry Purple," said Paladin Sapphire, "Don't worry about getting me pregnant you won't."

The two went back to having sex but Paladin Sapphire found out that Purple enjoys being on bottom even called him an "adorable submissive alicorn"

"Sub...Submissive?" nervously asked Purple.

Paladin Sapphire said, "Deference. There is Dominant and Submissive. You're on the bottom and I'm on top. Before you ask. When I was here before. Before I got raped again I entered an old store that said "Sex shop" and found an old pornographic magazine."

They just stopped talking and Paladin Sapphire Heart's lips and mouth met with Purple's mouth.

***
Downstairs.

The storm was making them sleepy but it isn't the storm's fault but it's Paladin Sapphire's fault for blowing the whistle like a foal. They just made sure that the Steel Rangers didn't come back.

The storm scared Amazonite because she was sheltered in the Stable her life and never heard of a storm. It came down hard and the wind picked up so hard she thought the building out fall apart and blow away like a house of cards in the wind.

The floorboard creaking above them doesn't help because of Purple and Paladin Sapphire making love.

They just didn't say anything but watched the front and back entrance.

The storm died down after several hours and they were on there way to Hogget Manufacturing HQ in Downtown Chicoltgo. It was a long walk and they did there best to avoid the packs of raiders.

"Luna fucking damn it," said Midnight Twister, "It's a long walk. How far is it?"

Purple replied. "Were nearly there. Just two more miles,"

"Great," said Midnight Twister, "More fucking walking,"

Rocky Road replied, "Do you ever get tired of complaining?"

Midnight Twister took a dose of Dash and said, "Nope. My hooves hurt from all this walking."

"Just keep doing your drugs," said Paladin Sapphire, "They'll "ease" your pain and kill you one day."

"Why don't you go and fuck yourself," said Midnight Twister.

Paladin Sapphire Heart replied, "Say that to my face!"

"Go fuck yourself!" said Midnight Twister, "No seriously GO FUCK YOURSELF!"

Paladin Sapphire removed her helmet, and got out of her power armor, got up in Midnight Twister's face, and punched him so hard he fell down.

"How's that!" yelled Paladin Sapphire

"Will you two shut the fuck up!" said Rocky Road, "There's raider's everywhere! We don't need to shoot up a fucking flare and signal every pony to our location in this city!"

"Over here!" said somepony, "I've heard something!"

Purple shook his head and said, "Great you two had to start a fight couldn't hold it back until we returned home,"

They followed Purple and they took the alleyways and got to Hogget Manufacturing HQ and entered the fifteen-story building.

"Probably some juicy stuff upstairs," said Purple, "From what I read from books back in the Stable that company leaders had their office on the top floor."

They all entered a stairwell and walked up to the fifteenth floor.

***
At the CEO level, it's a nice space with a boardroom off to the side and the CEO office behind the boardroom. They saw fourteen out of fifteen chairs filled with skeletons in black businesswear where some had skirts, where they were mares, and the ones without skirts, were stallions.

Paladin Sapphire went over to the terminal and hacked it.

"I miss Sunrise Storm," said Purple, "And I also miss Twyla, Opel, Shining, Pearly Love, and Harmony Defender. I wish they were still alive. I'm not a good friend. A good friend wouldn't their friends to die."

Purple then walked over to a safe and he walked away from it and searched the desks and found a key where he walked over to the safe and used the key. Purple just found some earnings and financial papers and looked like profits were soaring for them. Purple even found some paper orders which says

"Crystal Empire order. Prince Shining Armor contracted us and placed in a high order to fulfill the Crystal Empire Army, Marine Corps, and Home Guard. They want to replace their aging Conifer Model 30 lever-action rifles. The order is for 10000 .30 Carbines
for forty-five thousand bits, and the 120000 .30-06 semi-automatic rifle for seventy thousand bits. They also placed an order for some .45 Auto Submachine Guns for Squad leaders and police. I told him it'll take several years to fulfill the order."

"Stalliongrad contracted us to build some M44 Bolt-action rifles and SSMG-41's as they're busy. I happily accepted the contract from them. They want us to make them 100,000 M44's and 80,000 SSMG-41s for a total of Nine hundred-thousand bits."

"Purple I hacked it for you," said Paladin Sapphire, "See if you can find any juicy on it."

Purple walked over and got on the terminal.

There were some files which says

Contracts

Employees

R&D

Weapons list

Competitor

Purple chose "Weapons list" and saw a list that says

Purple said after looking at the list, "This is a lot of weapons from another company besides Ironshod. Guess they only built military weapons for the Army and Marines besides Ironshod but made their own weapons and manufactured their own ammo."

Purple then quickly backed out and selected "Contracts" where there's a few from the Equestrian Army, Marines, and Rangers for more weapons than the IF-9 Combat Shotguns, Sniper rifles, Assault rifles, Semi-automatic rifles, Submachine Guns, Brush Guns, Scoped Assault Carbines, & Automatic Rifles but they're still going to use the Flamethrowers, Missile Launchers, Miniguns, Grenade Machineguns, Rocket Launchers, Magical Energy Rifles, Magical Energy Shotguns, Magical Energy Miniguns, and Magical Energy Pistols.

"Looks like Ironshod Firearms had some competition with the military and police market," said Purple, "In the way back then times with they only had IF-9 Combat Shotguns, IF-18 "Horseshoe" revolvers, IF-22 pistols, IF-38 "Cornhusker" police revolvers, IF-44 "Angel Bunny" 10mm SMG's, IF-64 "Bloomberg" assault rifles, IF-80 Pump Shotgun, IF-84 "Stampede", IF-100 "Brown Betty", IF-100 "Thunderhoof" and my IF-37 Police shotgun which it's rare."

Purple then just got up after trying to select "R&D" which only says "down please contact security or maintenance" and he just walked back over to the door and heard some moaning sounds coming up the steps.

"Sounds like ferals," said Rocky, "Great were trapped up here. Thanks, Purple. Any more great ideas?"

"Hang on tight," said Purple, "Unless you want to meet those ghouls within some time. I say they'll be here within eight to four minutes."

They all hugged onto Purple very tightly and he teleported away and soon appeared on an old expressway.

"That's new," said Amazonite, "Never seen one of those things before. Look" she then pointed up to a strange ship.

"Don't worry," said Purple, "That's a Raptor-class cloudship. It's a part of the Grand Pegasus Enclave."

"Your "lover" must be really going east," said Midnight.

"Will you cut it out Midnight," said Rocky, "Just because Purple had a half-assed one-night stand with somepony don't mean they're lovers."

"We're north," said Paladin Sapphire, "She's supposed to go east. I guess she's taking her "rearguard" job very seriously. Besides stealing a pony special something to get others pregnant or ordering 105 to get pregnant by you. Well, she probably threaten them by branding them as Dashites or killing them if they didn't. Oh, Purple here's her journal thing."

Paladin Sapphire then handed over Lieutenant Honey Cake's journal to Purple but he just placed it into his saddlebag because he respect ponies' privacy even if they were once his enemies.

"Thanks," said Purple, "But Ah don't go too ponies private stuff,"

Amazonite replied, "He said. Thanks but I don't go through ponies private stuff,"

"I'll read the fucking book," said Midnight Twister, "Hoof it over."

"Naw," said Purple, "I'm going to return it. It's not even ours, to begin with,"

There was a big explosion where it was from the Raptor-class cloudship which fired at a group of raiders in a pre-war high rise. They saw a group of Alicorns walking towards them and they were hostile and they knew when a cart flew at them.

"Yawl go," said Purple, "AHl delay them an stop them. Go now,"

Amazonite replied, "He said "You all go. I'll delay them and stop them. Go now."

They ran away where Purple ran towards the three evil alicorns with a fragmentation grenade hidden and he went behind an old cart.

By a gap on the concrete wall they went down to the street level and there was a major explosion. They thought Purple was dead until they found a way back up there and saw destroyed carts for miles going northwest and southeast. They also saw a wall of fire but it attracted the attention of the Raiders, Alicorns, Grand Pegasus Enclave, Steel Rangers, and Hellhounds.

It took a while but the fire simmered down and they hastily ran through the fire.

They saw a moderate cobalt shield and saw Purple sitting within the shield with him unscathed from the fire and explosions. They saw the three alicorns that were killed had blood and gore everywhere. Purple just waved and he lowered his shield and walked over to them.

"hot hot hot," said Purple, "That's some hot asphalt."

Midnight Twister just took a shot of his Dash like nothing only to find out he has no more left.

"Fucking damn it," yelled Midnight Twister after realizing he's out of Dash, "Fuck! I'm out of Dash!"

"Maybe if you slowed down on using it," said Paladin Sapphire, "You stop being a filthy junkie."

"Say that again," said Midnight Twister

"Maybe if you slowed down on using it," said Paladin Sapphire repeating herself, "You'll. Stop. Being. A. Filthy. Junkie."

"You want to go you lust hungry whore!" exclaimed Midnight Twister, "You heard me you fucking slut whore!"

"Will you two just shut up!," yelled Rocky Road, "I mean you two been arguing for almost a damn month. Over a damn month, we've been hearing you two go at each other throats and we're sick and tired of hearing you two argue."

The two stopped arguing temporarily.

"My E.F.S says there's a Stable near that old apartment complex," said Amazonite, "Should we go check it out?"

Purple replied, "Go ahead we follow you."

They all followed Amazonite through the old apartment complex and found an old concrete pathway with a steel lid.

"Mares first," said Purple, "Rocky, Paladin, Starry, Amazonite you go first."

Paladin Sapphire went first following with Rocky, Starry, and Amazonite behind her where Critical, Midnight then Purple went down.

Purple and Amazonite turned their flashlights on their Pipbuck's and Paladin Sapphire turned on her helmet's flashlight and saw a Stable door number that says "194" so Purple opened it.

They carefully entered the Stable entrance and went into the hallway and saw a Stable Dweller mare.

"Hello?" said the Stable Dweller mare, "Can I help you?"

"Um hi," said Purple, "I'm Purple Artist and this is Amazonite. We're from Stable 190."

"Oh thank Luna," said the Stable Dweller mare, "So you're here for the reproductive situation we have?"

"No, we don't know about that." said Purple, "Just discovered your Stable and wanted to see if anypony is home."

"Wait, wait, wait," said Amazonite, "You have a reproductive problem? The stallions here are sterile?"

The Stable Dweller mare replied, "No there are no stallions here. We've estimated about a total of forty years before we die out. Stupid question and that is can you three help us populate?"

Purple was his good self and will help out, Midnight Twister couldn't because he was castrated and Critical Shot doesn't want any foals because he wanted foals with a certain somepony but she's dead. "My mother did say I was a mare magnet," said Purple, "On how popular I was with make friends with mare not adding some told my mother that they would be glad to be my mother's daughter-in-law."

It took a long time a very long time where when Purple was done he was very tired but that's the disadvantage of breeding with 598 mares and he doesn't want to walk.

"Hey what are you doing?" asked Amazonite, "Midnight what are you doing?"

Amazonite caught Midnight Twister raiding Stable 194's clinic for drugs and other narcotics which he did mostly stealing Buck, Rage, and Mint-als, and didn't care.

"You know what raiders use to give to foals, colts, fillies, and ponies who they captured?" said Midnight Twister, "A combination of Buck and Dash so us slaves can stay alive longer so they could get their money not caring if we died or not after getting sold and brought to where in the fucking hell hole we were and are going to be sent to!"

"But what you're doing," said Amazonite, "It's wrong! Your stealing medicine from these ponies which they'll need if something bad happens you don't care."

"And," said Midnight Twister, "You're not going to tell anyone."

The door closed and there was screaming for a while and some blood gushed up onto the clinic's window.

Purple, Rocky, Midnight, Paladin Sapphire, Critical Shot, and Starry left with Purple sleeping on Paladin Sapphire's back.

"He looks like a foal," said Starry, "A foal or a colt sleeping on his mother's back."

The Stable Dwellers were kind enough to let them stay the night and let them eat the morning and let them go. They just headed towards the mercenary base and fought every mercenary there was at the base.

Midnight Twister killed a mercenary and took his combat armor where he walked right up to the base and walked right in where Midnight killed a guard and kept the main gate opened.

Purple, Rocky, Paladin Sapphire, Starry, and Critical went inside and fought the Mercenaries. Purple's stun grenades helped which the stun grenades disorientated the Mercenaries and made some of them stumble out of cover.

"Zebra carbines watch out," Purple warned, "They'll set you ablaze because they have enchanted bullets and they fire in a three-round burst."

"How the fuck do you know this!" demanded Midnight.

"He was raised in a fucking Stable you jackass!" yelled Paladin Sapphire, "His Stable was built to house intelligent, brave or even heroic military officers back then you fucking jackwagon!"

"Wow Midnight," said Purple, "You really broke the cutie."

"You think I'm cute?" asked Paladin Sapphire.

"This isn't the time," said Starry, "This isn't for that love and romance well that what those old love books I use to read called it "love". So get your head out of it and into the fight."

"Here you go Paladin Sapphire," said Purple, "Take my personal minigun and use it."

Purple then hoof over his minigun and she used her magic to hold it and she didn't waste any time firing it. The old paper-thin or drywall didn't help the mercenaries where the minigun tore right through them even tore a lot of ponies to bloody shreds.

They just went up to floor by floor clearing it out and the mercenaries got weaker and weaker where the lower floors were the stronger ones were on the lower floors.

Purple galloped ahead and busted through a door and saw an earth pony stallion escape via an old tower crane and Purple didn't waste any time shooting him in the leg with his .45 Auto Pistol.

"Who put a price on my head!" demanded Purple, "WHO DAMN IT!"

The Earth Pony Stallion replied, "Go fuck yourself. I ain't telling you."

"It's your funeral," said Purple before using his magic and throwing him off the roof down thirty-seven stories.

By the time they caught up with him they saw Purple lockpicking a safe and he got it opened where it was a lot of caps. Purple even thought to himself.

Damn, that's a lot of caps, Purple thought, that's enough to buy tons of ammo and food but I'm not greedy. Pipbuck says I only have thirty-one caps.

Purple then opened his saddlebag and slid all of those caps in it and now his Pipbuck says he has 15000 Bottle caps.

"Where's Amonizite?" asked Purple

Midnight replied, "She fell in combat."

Purple replied, "If you're going to lie to me. Don't have your story full of horse apples. You know what we should get back to Crimson."

They didn't say anything and just walked back to the train and like before Paladin Sapphire drove the train back to where they were. But Purple stayed with her.

A day later they got delayed due to a storm they heard a Vertibuck and it fired at them. They had to fight it which was almost impossible and Midnight got shot.

They decided to abandon the train which is gotten destroyed by the Vertibuck but they abandoned it before it got destroyed.

"We got a long walk," said Purple, "So we better start walking."

They followed Purple and were surprised he didn't complain about the rain and weather.

They quickly found shelter in an old Stable which says it's Stable 193 which was abandoned. But they still moved on in until they fully rested up and waited until the storm passed. Unknown to them and is Purple's rude brother was tracking them.

In the Overpony's office

"Um. Purple do you have a few minutes?" asked Paladin Sapphire Heart.

Purple replied, "What's on your mind?"

"Purple. I don't know how to tell you this," said Paladin Sapphire, "But if we get together I don't want foals. I know the type of stallion you are Purple. You're the type of pony who wouldn't mind having foals and having a family. But I don't."

Purple replied, "I'm not selfish and I don't care what I want. I just want who I'm with to make them safe and sound also happy. Let me guess you don't want foals because you were raped more than once?"

Paladin Sapphire replied, "Yup. The doctor in my contingent says that I'm lucky that my reproductive system wasn't destroyed from being raped since I was four. And one reason I don't want to have kids is that I don't want them to happen what happened to me. Besides not adding you're going to have almost eight hundred foals anyway. But it was your choice to help Stable 194 to have another generation of ponies."

Purple replied, "Don't forget those two hundred and ten Grand Pegasus Enclave pegasi. Almost half Lt Honey Cake artificially inseminated and the other half were ordered to and threatened to brand them as Dashites and/or execute them. Hope the Enclave council doesn't find out but I think that's why Lt Honey Cake had a small town built for the pregnant ones so they probably won't find out. I'm going to do my damn best to see all of them even if it kills me. I'm not Base who doesn't give a fuck on how many foals he has he won't see any of them heck he won't take care of them."

Paladin Sapphire replied, "Random Precision F Strike. I think that you should cut back on swearing because you're going to be a father soon. Good fathers don't swear."

Purple looked at her and said, "My father never swore. That is what my mother and grandmother said. My father's parents? They hated my father marrying a pegasus and they hated me, Blue and Base and they disowned my father. Doesn't help that my parents got married when they were 13 both of them were 13. But yeah they hated my father or their son and hated my mother as well. I think you would've liked my father. He was a nice and caring stallion who was always available to help others I think that's why my mother loved him. He was available 24/7. When I was eight I had recurring nightmares and when I would go over to my parent's bed my father would say "It's alright Purple. It was just a bad dream. Come on."." He suddenly stopped and a tear ran down his face, "I dearly miss him. He taught me how to repair stuff. Heck, the rifle I have well it wore down so bad he fixed it like nothing. Nothing but some duct tape, and some scrap metal. And it's fine."

Paladin Sapphire replied, "Sounds like that's where you get your fixing things came from him. Or just maintaining your Pipbuck, weapons, or something like that. Like when we're in Stable 193 you helped the Stable to have foals so they could keep on going without dying out. I'm sure he would've done the same. You have a very big heart. You always do the right thing even if it'll backfire later down the road you do what you think it's the right thing like helping a stable from dying out by giving them a new generation.", She didn't waste no time kissing him, "That's what we see in you a pony who has a big heart but a pony who doesn't get let any bullshit get to him. A pony who wants the wasteland a better place a better wasteland then Red Eye's vision of the wasteland."

Author's Note

I originally was going to have the pre-war weapons company make Zebra weapons but didn't.
The weapons the company made. I partially based them on real-world weapons and yes I did use real-world carriages because I couldn't think of fictional ones or close-to-fictional ones.
