Chapter 58: Foals of Radiation

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

After Critical Shot ran away from Paladin Sapphire, Starry, Midnight, and Rocky. He held the Jumper rifle in his hooves and shed several tears when he looked over "To Critical Love Mama".

Alright, I'm going to hunt those Foals of Radiation down, Critical thought, To avenge my marefriend and our unborn foal then move and hunt down the raider group that came to the farm and made me kill my mother so she wouldn't go through the pain and nightmare of what raider's make them go through.

Critical then checked himself where he noticed he had five rounds in his scoped .30-06 bolt-action rifle and fifteen rounds remaining. His Jumper rifle runs off the same ammo and there's some ammo in it a total of ten rounds for a total of twenty-five rounds.

Critical just headed south where he first met his marefriend and well they were inseparable until the day they were jumped by somepony or something, she joined the Foals of Radiation, the Balefire radiation killed their unborn foal giving her a miscarriage and he was knocked out for some time. When Critical and her did remeet she said "It was Radiation's will that it happened."

There was nothing but dry ground, burnt trees, dried grass, and nothing but ruins for miles and miles but some mountains in the distance.

***

A day later Critical took "the scenic" route and avoided where ponies or other creatures will be especially along roads or railroads. He didn't telegraph his presence then and doesn't want to now.

There was a small fortified town that Critical entered. He was hungry and thirsty, he grabbed a bite to eat and something to drink. He just had some carrots, chips, and a Sparkle-Cola RAD even though he doesn't like the flavor of it.

Critical then went over to the general store in the town and spent all ninety-five bottle caps he had to buy ammo which cost four bottle caps for four rounds of .30-06 rounds. He bought the ammo and walked out of the town after wasting every last bottlecap he had.

***

Critical just hummed as he kept walking to where he soon spotted a Foal of Radiation earth pony talking to somepony trying to convince them to join them. Critical just aimed his sniper rifle.

"Trick or treat motherfucker!" exclaimed Critical Shot

There was a gunshot and Critical walked away and towards the couple who were being convinced to join them. Critical was lucky enough to convince them what really happens in the Foals of Radiation. Besides they worship the Balefire Radiation as a God well they'll do religious stuff and prevent ponies from doing things they want.

They asked how he knew that.

Critical responded, "They were able to convince my ex-marefriend to join. Besides that it killed our unborn foal they'll try to convince you into their way of believing and with all the bottlecaps you have they want you to hoof them as a "donation". They want their members to harass others into joining them and believe what is right and think whoever isn't with them is all wrong and kill ponies they think won't be "a good fit" for them."

They were glad they didn't join not adding the mare was knocked up and she doesn't want to lose her unborn foal like how Critical and his then marefriend before she was convinced to join them.

Critical went on his way and saw through his scope after an hour later he saw a group of Foals of Radiation around a Balefire missile praying to it.

Dumb bastards think it's a God or a Goddess, Critical thought, They going to die from it. Hope it's sooner than later.

Critical then fired at them picking them off and when he would reload the Foals of Radiation thinks that they failed to pray correctly to the Radiation so it killed them and Critical just shot them from range and they never expected it even though they could hear the gunshots.

"Ten down about a shit ton to go," Critical said grouchily.

Critical kept walking even killed a pack of wolves who tried to jump him and eat him alive but his Jumper rifle was used due to it doesn't have a scope and is used better for long and mid-range combat over long-range combat like his sniper rifle.

Maybe I should add a scope to the Jumper rifle and use the .30-06 sniper rifle as my main rifle due to the Jumper rifle has a greater rate of fire than the bolt action one. Critical thought, No wait. The bolt-action isn't great for close range. I need to find a pistol if not a shotgun or a submachine gun.

***

An hour later

Critical overlooked a concrete base and there was a thin metal sign on the ground that says "EQUESTRIAN SUBMARINE BASE LUNA TRESPASSERS WILL BE SHOT!"

There were some walking sounds coming and something hit Critical right across the back of the head very painfully. It knocked him out very painfully.

***

Several hours later.

Critical Shot woke up with a very painful headache but noticed he was tied up to a wooden pole. He also noticed some ponies in rags while welding 7.62x39mm Assault Rifles pointed at him even the battle saddle version and the unicorns had some with a 40mm grenade launcher.

They were in rags and if they weren't then their clothing was in very despise look and worn out even filled with holes.

"If you're going to kill me then get it over with you dumb sons of bitches!" exclaimed Critical, "If your not going to kill me then let me go!"

A Foal of Radiation replied, "I'm Confessor Rad Python and you are going to die."

Critical responded, "I don't care who you are. Just get it over with you Balefire Radiation loving psychos. Your "God's will" will just kill you anyway. You can say all you want it's still going to kill you sooner or later."

There was a quick burst of gunfire but it was suppressed. It was Midnight who secretly followed Critical Shot and saved his bacon from him about to be executed. Midnight then freed him.

Midnight handed Critical the sniper rifle he has and the semi-automatic rifle then Midnight reloaded his shotgun and removed the suppressor.

Critical just walked out the door with the Jumper rifle and started to open fire on the Foals of Radiation and he told Midnight that they have a dumbass name because they're the "children" of the Balefire Radiation since their name.

"They're going to die from it." said Critical, "They worship the Balefire Radiation as if it's a God or a Goddess. I'm going to use that against them."

Critical bucked opened the door and didn't hesitate between targets and he just opened fire on all of them where they took his special somepony away and their unborn foal he knows they got to stop their rein and cult before everypony dies.

Midnight took off the rags and the clothing he was in due to he hated it and threw it at the Foals of Radiation. Then he fired his shotgun at the Foals of Atom where the Dragon's Breath's shotgun rounds that Midnight Twister had done the job effectively.

They had enough covers and would move up if either or could keep the Foals of Radiation down and they kept pushing the Cultist back.

"Thought they would be better armed," said Midnight, "And know how to shoot better this is pathetic."

Critical responded, "Even amateurs get lucky,"

Before Midnight could advance there were some deep hoof steps and there's were some ponies in gray or dark uniforms and body armor and old heavily modified police riot helmets with the visors replaced with one-way visors blackened out so enemies can't see their face. Not adding they're armed with machine guns mostly the Stalliongradian 7.62x54S General Purpose Machine Gun or the Equestrian 7.62mm GPMG and it drove them into cover and suppressed the two.

There was no way out for the duo until the duo split up with Midnight going back into the room he saved Critical from and Critical galloping onto the submarine which has two old 5 inch/25 caliber artillery guns which were used for merchant raiding besides using torpedoes and two old anti-air guns.

The two would take turns where Midnight would fire to get them off of Critical and Critical would use his magic to fire the cannon or anti-air gun at them. Even though the old cannon could wipe out Zebra unarmed combat ships with ease but this time it was different; they were tough to kill.

Every time that Critical would fire it they would shift his focus to him and he would hide on the other side of the conning tower of the submarine only for Midnight to fire his shotgun to fire back and draw their attention until they decided to shoot at both of them.

It proved difficult until Critical did his best to use the old 20mm anti-air gun and used his magic to fire it and there were a lot of painful screams as the old explosive rounds blew off their armor and then their limbs went flying and blood gushed everywhere.

"Gross," said Midnight, "I would hate to be the pony who has to clean this up,"

There was a loud sound as Critical got into the submarine and after a few minutes it started to move and Midnight saw some long rockets unknown to Midnight, Critical got some overdue payback on the cult that killed his marefriend and unborn foal.

***

In the Submarine bridge.

"I'll see you all in Hell!" said Critical in a very deep tone

Critical was at a holographic map and it shows all of the Foals of Radiation camps, strongholds, and other places under their control, and the Submarines two launch keys were laying out in the open.

Critical used his magic to set in the coordinates, placed both keys into the keyholes, and turned them at the same time. Two buttons came able to push and he used his front and hind legs to push them.

"Burn in Hell assholes!" said Critical before picking up a cigarette and putting it down because he doesn't smoke.

There was an option for him to scuttle the submarine which will cause it to self-destruct and he pressed it and got out of there quickly.

The submarine blew up and sunk to the bottom of the ocean and Critical walked up a steep incline and he almost slipped down and almost fell into radioactive water. But he got up and went back up.

Midnight straight-up vanished but Critical and them don't know he hitched a ride on a Vertibuck and went off the grid.

***

In the middle of nowhere.

Critical Shot saw some smoke in the distance and used the scope on his sniper rifle and saw Foals of Radiation walking around or standing around. Critical didn't hold back and killed them out of spite and anger.

They didn't know where the shots were coming from and he kept picking them off not giving a damn if they were mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, grand foals. Just anypony with them he killed without remorse.

"You took away my family," said Critical, "I'm going to take away yours!"

No one knows why he used his hoof to put the bullets in but he doesn't care and he isn't killing them painlessly but painfully.

"You took my mare and our unborn foal!" exclaimed Critical, "I'm going to take away your world!"

Critical charged in and used his Jumper rifle and just shot them.

Glad I turned those missiles at them. Critical thought, Turn their world to ash and make them all go to Tartarus and burn there forever.

Critical then climbed over a wall and started to shoot indiscriminately not caring if they were armed or not and not caring if they were kids or not.

One of the injured Foals of Radiation members tried to crawl away only for Critical to walk over and kick him against a barrel.

"You took away my family!" yelled Critical, "AND I'M GOING TO TAKE AWAY YOURS! FIRST KILLED MY AND MY GIRLFRIEND'S UNBORN FOAL AND KILL HER AND YOU ALL ARE GOING TO PAY!"

The Foal of Radiation preacher replied, "Ms. Pink Lemonade. She was a fine soldier and a fine preacher. She also had a fine piece of ass too. It's Radiation's will that she died. She's with Radiation now in the afterlife she's happy about it."

Critical got some kerosene lamps and poured the kerosene onto him and Critical lit a match and said, "Burn in hell you piece of shit!"

Critical then threw the match and the Foal of Radiation preacher screamed while ablaze.

Critical then walked away as the preacher kept screaming at the top of his lungs and Critical did not care an inch of his life just hearing him scream.

Hope they burn in Tartarus, Critical thought, And burn permentally and slowly and painfully.

Night soon came and Critical Shot soon broke into a deserted house and slept there in a ball until the sun rose.

***

In the morning,

Better go to that little town that I and my mother use to visit, Critical thought, Nice old little town or village. Wonder if anything changed about it. Safe and sound without the threats of the wasteland beside the weather.

Along the way, Critical just painfully killed the Raiders, Slavers, and Foals of Radiation even if they weren't in his way. He just wanted to get payback against the raiders for making him kill his mother so she wouldn't go through the hell they put Ponies through and killed the Foals of Radiation for filling his deceased girlfriend, Pink Lemonade filling her head with lies and believing that the death of their unborn foal was a good thing that a "God" wanted.

***

In a Foals of Radiation Camp.

Critical Shot had some of the Foals of Radiation camp tied up to a fifty-five-gallon barrel full of Kerosene and tortured them.

"I remember you," said a Foal of Radiation, "When you tried to take Pink Lemonade away from us. She was a great member until you filled her head with disbelief that we hate and frown upon."

Critical snapped, "Tried to take away from you? YOU TOOK HER AWAY FROM ME AND KILLED OUR UNBORN FOAL! YOU FILLED HER HEAD WITH YOUR BELIEFS AND SHE DIDN'T CARE THE RADIATION MADE HER SICK AND KILLED HER! YOU TOOK HER LIFE, AND OUR UNBORN FOAL'S LIFE YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO SAY THAT TO ME!"

The Foal of Radiation replied, "And a lot of us rutted her all the time too. She had a fine piece of ass. Wish we could've given her Radiation's foals. She was meant for it."

Critical responded angrily, "YOU'RE DEAD!"

Critical Shot lit them all on fire giving them a very painful death and he didn't look back and just walked off in the morning sunrise. Critical didn't care about them and just scoffed at the idea of giving them a painless death.

About one shit ton down, Critical though, About another shit ton to go.

Critical then took in the sights of death and destruction and soon came across a pile of deceased Steel Ranger Knights and a Steel Ranger Crusader and a blood trail he saw and followed.

"Probably tried to tango or mess around with a Wings of Alicorns," said Critical, "If not something more sinister. Hope it's Alicorns. I have never seen a male Alicorn before besides Purple. Wonder if they're all female? If so then Purple would be a treasure to them and The Goddess. Because they would be able to reproduce without using Ponies in Taint. Purple will be a very, very, very lucky stallion if not unlucky. Depends on how it feels to him being used as a stud. But I think he's done being used for breeding."

Critical then walked away torn apart Steel Rangers even accidentally tripping over a dismembered leg.

"Ok, I deserve that," Critical said, "Guess that's karma coming and getting me."

Critical then got up and dusted himself off and started to walk northeast only for him to stumble upon a swarm of Paradores and he galloped like a bat out of hell away from them which he was able to get away from them. He then ran into a pack of Hellhounds which he ran like a bat out of hell away from them as well.

Wish Sunrise was with me, Critical thought, She could've scared them away. I may haven't been friends with her nor close with her. But she was a hell of a good blue Alicorn. She and Purple deserved each other. They would've been a cute couple and I wonder what their foals would've looked like probably adorable.

Critical Shot saw a wing of Alicorns walking down the same road as him via his scope but he decided to hide where he hid behind a boulder and incase he played dead.

"Darn I wanted to kill somepony!" Exclaimed the Green Alicorn, "Haven't killed nor placed any pony in Taint to make more of us."

"Maybe there's another way to find a way to make more of us," said the Blue Alicorn, "Maybe instead of throwing Ponies into Taint we should find other ways."

The Dark Purple one replied, "You mean that we should reproduce by breeding? Haven't you noticed that there aren't any stallion alicorns? So how are we supposed to breed? Without Taint."

The Blue Alicorn replied, "Yup. There's got to be a male Alicorn out there or just a regular pony."

The Green Alicorn scoffed, "Male Alicorns? That's just a myth."

The Blue Alicorn replied, "There could be crossbred ones out there. We can't stop having ponies join the Unity or what remains of it since The Destroyer killed The Goddess. But there's other ways to do it without turning other's into Alicorns. I'm sure there's some stallions out there that would like to get to know us a bit more."

The Purple Alicorn replied, "Get for real. No Stallion will procreate with us. Not adding we found out we're not as strong and powerful as though. Ever since The Destroyer killed one of us via a train car in Old Appleloosa. But we're still strong, stronger than as those Steel Rangers. Especially those ones we torn apart half an hour ago."

Maybe I should do something, Critical thought, Unless if those Alicorns will just kill me. Screw it, everypony should have a special somepony or just to be bred. Purple can fulfil this. I'm not like Purple he's more of a stud then I am and I'm not offended. I should go tell them even if it'll kill me.

Critical then got out from cover and caught up with the wing of Alicorn.

"Um excuse me?" said Critical, "I don't mean to interrupt or join in your conversation. But I think I have the solution to your problem of creating new Alicorns. Just to let you know there is a crossbred Alicorn that I know. He's real if he wasn't I wouldn't be standing here. I can send him here so you can meet him."

The Purple and Green Alicorns just looked at each other thinking it was a trap or he was trying to pull their leg. The Blue Alicorn was excited because they would be able to create more without using Taint even though the new ones won't have an Hive mind.

The former two played along.

"Alright," said the Green Alicorn

The Purple one continued, "Bring this "Crossbred Alicorn" to us."

Critical replied, "Alright I'll bring him here. Unless if you have someplace particular?"

The Green Alicorn replied, "This spot will do."

Critical replied, "It'll be several days. But I'll bring him to you. I'm going to gallop away and go fetch him and not to waste your time."

Critical Shot then galloped away very fast towards the village he and his mother used to go to a lot not adding he knows the way by heart due to he used to sneak off there to see Ms. Pink Lemonade due to she was born and raised there and they met there.

It wasn't long until Critical's hooves were barking due to all the running.

Wait? Critical thought, I like helping ponies that aren't Raiders or Slavers. But I think I might be ruining Purple's life due to how many mares he bred against his will or "volunteered" to breed with. But hey. Not all Alicorns are evil. Yeah, some will tear you apart and rip you piece by piece. But I was skeptical of Sunrise Storm and she was pretty friendly even if she had a crush on Purple. But not all Unity Alicorns are eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeviiiiil.

Night came fast.

Critical Shot kept going even though he thought about stopping to take a nap or go to bed. He just kept on pushing through with his pain and kept on pushing through.

It took almost two full days and nights but Critical entered the village that Purple, Rocky, Paladin Sapphire, & Starry are at. He asked if Midnight was with them only for all but Purple tell him that he wasn't. He just up and vanished.

"Oh. Paladin." said Critical, "Have you seen Purple anywhere?"

Paladin Sapphire Heart replied, "Here's in the church resting up."

Paladin Sapphire then pointed to the Church where Purple Purple was in and walked up to the pew Purple was on just saying there on his back with some scars where there was a bullet hole was that Vulcan removed and patched up after opening up.

"So Doctor or whatever you are," said Critical, "Do you think Purple can be up and roaming anytime soon?"

Vulcan replied, "Yeah. I gave him some Morphine earlier. But he should be fine and well It'll last about four hours."

***

Four hours later.

Rocky Road and Starry entered the church with more of those old Equestrian military surplus cashes. They carried where the one that Rocky Road was carrying had nothing but ammo and weapon repair kits. The ones that Starry had were filled with bandages, magical bandages, Rad-away, Radsafe, Healing Potions, and some other fancy ones like
Viper an anti-venom drug that has a very high addiction rate which has increased heart rate, dilated eyes, blood pressure, & excessive sweating.

There's also Slasher which is a very dangerous drug that is supposed to increase strength, heart rate, and a pony beating the leaving hell out of the enemy without thinking about the consequences.

There's also Healing powder and that was it.

Paladin Sapphire then came in carrying the rest of the old Equestrian Armed Forces Supply cashes there were only five. They were random.

Box one had; Combat knives, Machetes, Throwing knives, Trench Raiding Clubs, Trench Gauntlets, Zebra Assault Carbines and ammo for the Zebra Carbines.

Box two had; W Mk VI, MP 18 SMG, No 3 Mk. III SMBA/ Short Magazine Bolt-Action, Urban Service Pistol Model Compact/USPC, M9 Pistol, 416MC, Service Carbine Automatic Rifle-Light, & Service Carbine Automatic Rifle- Heavy.

Box three had; nothing but maps of the region nothing but both pre-war and wartime military maps not post-war. But Paladin Sapphire didn't complain at least they don't have to rely on Purple or Purple's Pipbuck twenty-four seven for locations.

Box four had; military riot armor and batons both wooden ones and twenty-four-inch polycarbonate side handle ones.

Box five had; Tactical Radio Systems, Army Integrated Air and Land Defense, Army Key Management System, Chemical, Biological, Balefire, Nerve Agent, Medical System. Compasses, Webbings, Rutsacks, dark olive green uniforms, Balefire Radiation Suits, HAZMAT suits, and Combat Helmets.

"Ohh old military goodies," said Paladin Sapphire, "The Steel Rang. Oh, that's right. I got kicked out I'm not a Steel Ranger anymore. Well, I'll need some time to work over this old military gear so we can use them. Unless Purple's going to donate half of them if not all of them to the Grand Pegasus Enclave."

Unknown to them Purple got up and drank a bottle of Purified Water but gave Vulcan some bottlecaps for it. Purple then took Box number five, four, and three leaving the first two for the village.

"Alright," said Purple, "Let's go back to the town of Crimson, and let's finish hunting down my brother."

Critical replied, "Hey um, Purple. Do you got a minute?"

Purple replied, "Critical. Yeah, what is it?"

Critical replied, "Purple. I don't know how to tell you. But I ran into a wing of Alicorns. One of them was talking about how there isn't a way to make more."

Purple interrupted, "Sorry for interrupting. But let me guess. You told them about me and said that I'm a male alicorn and I can get them pregnant so the Alicorn race can live on?"

Critical replied, "Yeah. I know Alicorns besides yourself and Sunrise are usually evil and work for The Goddess."

Purple replied, "I would like to help them. But Every mare I come across who wants a foal always pick me or I'm just unfortunate and either get raped or have my sperm stolen and the mare or mares artificially inseminate themselves or somepony artificially inseminate them. You're saying a Wing of Alicorns wants me to get them pregnant? Most Alicorns I ran across out here are friendly or neutral even if their the Unity's Alicorns. I guess I'm still alive because they need a way to reproduce. But I don't know. I'll think about it."

Critical replied, "Well they said you need to hurry up. Well, the Blue one. She thinks they're being picked off one by one by Steel Rangers that came and killing them off. One group being killed off at a time if they aren't allied with your brother."

Purple thought about it and just moved his eyes around quickly thinking.

They went back to the town of Crimson and dropped off all the old gear that wouldn't be useful collecting dust in the village not being used.

"Now we can communicate with each other," said Purple, "More effectively. Rocky & Starry. You go to our allied towns and set them up so if any of them get attacked they can radio for reinforcements and we can have the initiatives to send help."

Rocky and Starry went and after Purple set up the main one up in the town in Crimson he went with Critical Shot and the duo traveled at night.

***

The next day.

Critical & Purple waited by the same boulder and coming down the road was the same three synthetic female Alicorns. The Blue one just reminded Purple of Sunrise Storm due to she was a synthetic blue Alicorn.

Critical and Purple parted ways where Critical went back to the town of Crimson while Purple went with the three Alicorn mares so he could continue the Alicorn race by getting them pregnant.

Purple was nervous being with them due to the last Alicorn he ran into they tried to kill him and now he's going to get three of them pregnant. He doesn't know that with the Hive mind that the same trick or tricks won't work twice unless they underestimate their opponent.

Unknown to Base now. Several wings of Alicorns sworn their allegiance to his baby brother because they view him as a God due to he's a stallion and can help them reproduce even if it means all of them are going to be siblings. But he does have a trick up his sleeve of the Hive mind and they can tell Base what's happening from what they gained like how avoiding from having a train car crushing them.

Purple figured the Alicorns were connected when they called themselves "Us". Even though it creeps him out but Purple doesn't back out of anything he goes in. Not adding they know they can kill him in a heartbeat and they can kill him painfully or painlessly mostly the former.

What really crept Purple out when they called him "Purple". But he forgot about Sunrise Storm whose mind was with the Unity even though she left the Unity and they know all about him but he doesn't know about them.

***

In the town of Crimson.

Critical was over by the firing range testing his skills. Before leaving to Camp Aroura.

***

Over at the Grand Pegasus Enclave base Aroura.

Rainy Night may have been kicked out of the Grand Pegasus Enclave and escaped before she could be branded as a Dashite and ordered to be killed. The soldiers under Honey Cake's orders won't due to she having a heart and not being as cold-blooded as them.

Rainy Night installed a radio that they got so the Grand Pegasus Enclave or what's left of them can join in the battles or make moves against the Steel Rangers.

"They make a move," said Rainy Night, "We make a move."

"We got a raid!" yelled a Grand Pegasus Enclave soldier, "It's the Foals of Radiation!"

Honey Cake said, "This is the thirty time this week!"

***

On a cliff.

"Alright let's do this!" exclaimed Critical Shot, "Time to show that I belong in the big leagues!"

Critical Shot laid down, aimed down the sights of his .30-06 Bolt-Action rifle, and aimed for the Preachers, Zealots, and the High Professor.

Even though the Grand Pegasus Enclave is on the ropes after the failure of Operation Caturize with the failure at Friendship City, New Appleloosa, & RedEye's Cathedral to name a few. But a majority of them aren't going quietly into the night and will follow orders until they're put down.

"That's five. Make it six," said Critical, "That's for Pink Lemonade! That one is for me! That one is for our unborn foal!"

The Foals of Radiation started to shoot at him which made Critical crawl back so he doesn't get hit by a blast of radiation from their Beta guns which shoots Balefire Beta Radiation which is deadly against creatures that aren't in power armor, Balefire Suits, or Hazmat suits.

Critical just saw the Foals of Radiation get mowed down and disincinagrated by the Grand Pegasus Enclave with their Novasurge Rifles and Magical Energy Rifles.

"The will of the Balefire that we press on with this attack!" yelled The Foal of Radiation High Professor, "Attack harder!"

The Foals of Radiation kept attacking relentlessly and felt like an endless sea of them just coming. it felt like when ten died a hundred replaced them. But the bullets and energy rounds kept going and flying killing them but soon they stopped and all of the Foals of Radiation stopped due to they were all dead.

Critical Shot then carefully scaled down the cliff only for a piece to break off and he fell.

A Grand Pegasus Enclave mare soldier galloped over and caught him with her two frontal hooves. The two stared romantically into each other's eyes.

The pink pegasus with orange eyes, cherry mane, and tail placed Critical down onto the ground.

"Are you ok?" said the mare, "Do you need to see a doctor?"

Critical replied, "No. I'm fine thank you."

The mare went back into the base and Critical followed only to see Honey Cake all sadden.

"Are you Ok?" asked Critical, "Are you upset due to the Enclave is losing a lot?"

Lieutenant Honey Cake replied, "No. I don't care that we lost with Operation Cauterize losing in Fillydelphia, Friendship City, RedEye's Cathedral, & Neighvarrio. My twin sister well at Neighvarrio her lover died and I didn't care that her lover was a mare. My sister, died while in a counter-attack at a cave. There was a raid at Neighvarrio by some mare, her friends or companions attacked and they were backed with a dragon. Some mare got on the PA system and well a lot of the soldiers surrendered to them without a lot of resistance. Damn cowards. But yeah my sister, Corporal Lucy Cake died while attacking the dragon's castle and died by the dragon. Her lover, she died at Neighvarro. I trained there a while ago before I went to the War College."

Critical Shot hugged her giving Honey Cake a bear hug for the loss of her twin identical sister. But what Critical Shot didn't know was that Honey Cake used Purple's .45 Auto Pistol and murdered her mother in cold blood during a Gala.

"So with the Grand Pegasus Enclave defeated or somewhat defeated," said Critical Shot, "What's going to happen to them? Are they going to crumble away and fly away and disappear into the night?"

Lieutenant Honey Cake replied, "No. Forces out here will rally under my flag and we'll go after the Steel Rangers even though greatly outnumbered in a ratio of seven hundred thirty-two to one hundred seventy-five with us is one hundred seventy-five and the Steel Rangers being seven hundred thirty-two. Not adding Base's Grand Pony Enclave with a force of eighty-seven hundred and Purple's forces of one-hundred in a ratio of eighty-seven to one. But we got forces scattered all over the wasteland and if you can. Can you send them here please?"

Critical replied, "Can do. As long none of them joins the "Foals of Radiation" cult of nutbags."

Guess my gut told me to go back to Pink Lemonade home, Critical though, But I never expected to see my friends there. Guess I went there and cut my travel time down severely.

Critical then went to go find the mare again and he nervously asked her out on a date or something like that.

"Alright you seem like a good stallion," said the mare, "Does hunting raiders down sounds good?"

Critical replied, "Up to you. If you want to hunt raiders. Then we'll hunt raiders."

The mare replied, "Come and get me tonight at six PM."

Critical nodded and left so she can prepare and he can rest up and tune up his rifles.
