Colonel Honey Cake docked the ship and Purple, Rocky, Paladin Sapphire, Critical, and Starry got off.

Colonel Honey Cake said, "I'm going to go dock off for a while. Single me when you get the supplies."

Purple said, "Anypony got a way to single Honey Cake when we get back?"

Rocky replied, "You're supposed to have the flare gun."

Purple replied, "Who died and made me the flare gun holder?"

Starry replied, "The moment you got on board the boat before the rest of us."

Purple replied, "Fuck me. Just don't. Please don't. It's just a saying."

They went on their way and they saw nothing but Ferals and shot them.

They saw the sky turning gray.

"Storm is brewing," said Starry. "I know how to spot storms approaching,"

None of them questioned it and went on their way.

They kept walking until they approached a two-story house and they entered it. They could hear the sound of rain coming down a little harder but it wasn't hard enough there was still some sunlight.

***

In the house.

"Anypony know what to do? If we get separated," asked Rocky.

Starry replied, "Yeah. Grab the back of your legs and kiss your ass goodbye."

Both Purple and Paladin Sapphire looked at a town map and think they can cut through the old defense factory as a shortcut to the other side where supplies are. If not then they could strip the old factory for supplies.

"Ready to go Guardians?" asked Purple.

They all agreed without checking for ammo or anything or checking them to make sure they were good to go.

They followed Purple when they saw a sign.

The sign said, "FERALS EVERYWHERE! STAY OUT!"

Rocky said, "Yeah right. They all probably moved on by now. Or just trying to scare us away from getting supplies."

Critical left only for them to see that he was climbing an old pipe and got onto the roof. They heard some gunshots.

"Got you!" exclaimed Critical.

"Let's go," said Purple.

***

Inside of the factory.

Damn it's dark, Rocky thought, We need some more light.

Even with Purple's light from his Pipbuck 3000, it was still dark and Rocky Road kept running into Paladin Sapphire Heart several times due to the fact that they couldn't really see each other.

"Purple?" asked Starry, "Can you make that brighter? I can't see a damn thing!"

Purple replied, "Sorry. I can't. It's at the brightest. I may be an Alicorn but I don't know a lot of spells. Just teleportation, shield, levitation, and allusions. I'm not a very spell-y Alicorn. But I'm intelligent. At least I think with my brain and not with my almost three-inch dick. My brother is the other way around. He thinks with his dick, not his brain. I'll be surprised if he has a brain."

They kept going but they're looking for a way out. Purple is lucky to have S.A.T.S and the local map on the Pipbuck that Purple has.

They followed Purple and found their way out. They were still in the factory but at least they could see and there were a ton of ferals.

"GO, GO!" ordered Purple. "Get to the high ground!"

All but Purple made it to a three-story somewhat gutted concrete building with still a working elevator that they could use to get to the field below.

It was jammed and wished they had Rainy Night with them so she could've fixed it. But the next best thing they wish they could have is Albatross but Purple is good enough. They had to keep the Ferals away from Purple and they would try to keep an organized defense.

Five minutes passed.

"Alright," said Purple. "Everyone get on! Now,"

All of them got on with Purple being the last and he hit the button to go down.

They now noticed Purple has a cutie mark over something else and asked what it is.

Purple said, "It's a .30-06 Semi-automatic rifle that's being overlapped by the number two pencil. I like my butt mark. The pencil for my good drawing and the rifle for my good shooting. The rifle is almost impossible to see due to its black walnut wood and how a majority of the .30-06 rifle was made back during the war. Also, please don't stare at my butt it makes me uncomfortable."

The elevator came down to a stop and the metallic door opened as they got off and walked through the high grass that passed them and felt like it blocked out the sky from them.

"I wonder where Midnight is," said Rocky. "Hope he's safe."

"If he was a mare. Then Base would've used him for another role," Paladin Sapphire mumbled under her breath.

Rocky replied, "What did you s..."

"My gut feeling says we're getting close to supplies that CCA Honey Cake wants," said Purple interrupting Rocky Road.

They entered a ran down by the road convenience store and entered the background and found five five-gallon water jugs, some expired food from several hundred years since the Balefire Bombs hit, some supplies and ammo.

They stocked up on ammo, supplies even the water jugs. But they decided to rest up for a bit even though they could hear the rain hit the building and so outside. But they all got up and followed Purple and retracted through the field and back to the elevator.

On the elevator.

"Anypony got a plan?" asked Purple, "Any way to single Honey Cake?"

None of them had any ideas besides Rocky but none of them were going to go with it. Her idea was to use Paladin Sapphire to fart and use a match or some kind of fire even though none of them are going to go with it.

The storm would pick up and it would make them not hear each other and not see each other. Even though Purple, Rocky, Paladin Sapphire, and Critical are using magic to hold their firearms.

Even though the rain was hard, the storm would let up for a bit giving them a chance to see and hear. But they all stayed next to each other. The water was hard enough for them to walk through, slowing them down.

Purple and Paladin Sapphire were together and they kept to the high ground, they're walking wasn't hampered by the water while the others were on the ground walking through the two-foot-deep water.

"Hey Purple?" asked Paladin Sapphire, "What's your brother's name?"

Purple replied, "We call him Base. But his full name is Arsen Base Nimrod Walnut Icy Flyer. But he shortened it to Base Icy Flyer. My actual full name isn't Purple Eastle Artist. It's not Purple Painting Eastle Artist. My full name is Lavender Purple Painting Silver Canvas Serenity Artist. But my parents then shortened it to Purple Painting Eastle Artist but my grandma and I shortened it to Purple Eastle Artist. But I don't care if you use my actual long name, shoten name or my current one. I don't care if you or anypony uses any of them. I prefer to be called Purple for short. But that's just me. Heck, Honey Cake her full name is Ebone Honey Butte Cake. And you can see why she prefers Honey Cake."

They went on their way and back through the same way even though now all of them had to walk through the rain. Purple may have wings and he could've flown away but he stayed with them even walked through the rain and deep water with them.

It felt like there were hardly any Ferals if there were none. All of their hooves were cold and wet so they entered the house they entered on the way to the place to get the supplies. The house still had supplies they left behind.

We need to find a way to single Honey Cake to pick us up, Purple thought, But we don't have nothing to single her. But we'll find a way.

"Hey look," said Starry, "A so-called flare gun."

Rocky Road replied, "No don't! Don't fire it!"

Starry put the flare gun into her mouth and it went off and landed in the ammo pile setting off all the bullets and all of them went on the other side of the wall for cover.

"Sorry," said Starry.

They heard a thudding against the concrete wall and saw it was Purple banging his head on the wall and they lost the only way to single Colonel Honey Cake.

"Come on Guardians," said Purple. "Let's go. We'll find a way to signal Honey Cake."

They went on their way back through the strong winds that would pick up from time to time and rain that would sometimes get so hard they would have to stop and close their eyes and keep walking when the rain slows up a bit and the wind doesn't blow so hard.

But they soon found their way back to the little dock like where Honey Cake dropped them off.

"Stay here," said Purple, "I'll be back."

Purple flew off in the direction he saw Honey Cake going when they disembarked.

***

On the boat.

Colonel Honey Cake was playing solitaire with her right wing and was rubbing her belly with her left wing. The storm scared her a lot especially when the storm would pick up and lighting and thunder which scared her a lot.

What scared her the most was the door opened and she almost killed Purple but didn't.

"Alright Honey Cake," said Purple, "Rocky, Paladin Sapphire, Critical, and Starry ready for pick up."

Honey Cake replied, "I can't see anything. Purple, can you act as a light and a navigator?"

Purple went out on the front end of the ship and lit up his horn bright enough for Honey Cake to see and he would lean his head which way to turn.

When they got there all of them were soaking wet. They all got on and sailed away.

"Hey Honey Cake," said Purple, "I know your full name,"

Honey Cake placed Purple's head onto the railing of the ship and held a knife to his neck.

Honey Cake replied angrily, "If you tell anypony! And I mean ANYPONY! You won't meet our filly or colt!"

Purple replied, "Calm down. It'll just be between us. Don't worry, my lips are sealed. I won't tell anypony Honey Cake."

Colonel Honey Cake placed her combat knife back into her knife sleathe and got off of Purple and went back inside to look at a map to see where they're going.

The boat hit a rock and they all abandoned ship.

"Find me a radio and I can call for help," said Honey Cake. "Wonder where the Tartarus are we?"

Rocky said, "Don't know. But it stinks. Unless it was Sapphire."

Paladin Sapphire replied, "It wasn't me."

Purple said, "Let's get the hell out of here. My gut says something bad is going to happen."

Rocky replied, "Like Paladin Sapphire making us suffocate to death when she farts?"

Starry replied, "Leave her alone. She can't help it."

Rocky replied, "Yeah you're right."

Critical replied, "Trees. Somewhat opened a swamp. Not good for me for the offense. But enemy snipers are great for defense."

They went on their way but stayed on dry land and didn't get in the water thinking mutated alligators or mutated crocodiles were in them. Not adding they also think Ferals or somepony or groups of ponies might live in them.

They all hated the fog through which cut their vision but they had Purple with his special ability and S.A.T.S..
