"Purple this is your father," said Albatross. "We've received word of a Raider group in a small industrial complex."
Purple replied, "You heard my father. Got to deal with Raiders."
A custom map marker appeared on Purple's Pipbuck and they followed it and it was actually safe. Along the way, they saw a rope bridge and heard Raiders and they stuck to the shadows.
The two stallion Raiders were talking about finding some mares to do Raider things mostly rape though. Paladin Sapphire readied her Novasurge rifle but Purple had her lower it due to they didn't want to alert any other raider in the area. They're still far from the industrial complex.
They took the scenic route until they came to a hill and PFC Flared Blizzard saw the industrial complex in the distance with his binoculars.
"Alright it's early morning," said Purple. "We can either go now where they're all awake or go in at night where a lot of them are asleep. Who wants to do what?"
Everyone chose the night because they'll have the element of surprise. Even though their accuracy will be severely reduced, the gunfire from the raiders will help them see and shoot their targets.
While waiting PFC Flared removed his helmet, placed a cigarette into his mouth, lit a match, and waited. Purple fell asleep and Paladin Sapphire sat with him and they all waited.

Twelve hours later.
It's now eight-thirty in the evening and they are headed towards the industrial complex. But their first obstacle was an old ranch house with dead grape vines once used to make wine.
Some raiders actually patrolled the old vineyard Purple dealt with them with ease either holding their mouths shut. Or stabbing them in the neck or sneaking up behind one, stabbing them three times in the back using the magic. Purple dealt with the ones inside by slicing the sleeping raider's necks. The only one awake he interrogated by holding the raider hostage.
"You're going to tell me how many Raiders there are up the road at the industrial complex," said Purple. "Or you won't see the daylight."
The Raider told Purple that along the path are four old dual artillery/anti-air cannons and there were thirty-two raiders in total at the industrial complex. Place is 96 with an alarm at the center and at the push of a button raiders will come and kill them between thirty seconds and several minutes.
Purple replied, "Nighty night." before he punched the Raider hard enough to knock him out and not kill him.
He found a crate he looted and it had several old Equestrian satchel charges and he went on his way. The others followed and their job was to watch Purple's back.
But they went to the closet and they fired at the Raiders and Purple placed the Satchel charge onto the old Anti-Tank gun and he placed a three inch steel cigarette looking thing in and turned three times. They all ran like hell and after fifteen seconds there was a huge explosion.
After fifteen seconds each gun blew up thanks to Purple and the Satchel charges he had.
They moved on and soon came to a pathway and could see the Industry complex. What scared them was that a squad of Grand Pegasus Enclave Force Recon appeared out of nowhere. They had been sent as gratitude from Spring Charm.
They kept going down the path with a squad of recon as backup and took the raiders head-on. The group of Wasteland Guardians went into a building and Purple used his shotgun.
"If you see any wastelanders!" ordered Purple, "Free them and send them into the general direction of the town of Crimson where they can find food, water, aid, and safety! Tell'em to stick to the roads for a better chance of survival!"
The alarm was raised and Paladin Sapphire got onto a machine outside where there were some levers. She used her knowledge of machinery and created a block for the raiders besides the pegasi ones to get through.
Paladin Sapphire did the same for another three with the Grand Pegasus Enclave Force Recon squad providing covering fire and Critical Shot providing sniper cover.
"I'd say that fucker is dead," said Critical Shot. "Ouch. I think her foal-bearing days are over."
Rocky replied, "Did you seriously shoot a mare in her birth area?"
Critical Shot replied, "Yup. Wasn't planning on it. But shit happens."
Paladin Sapphire and the GPE Force Recon squad fell back with the Wastelanders they freed while the latter picked up firearms and took their anger out against the Raiders. They performed well and excelled in combat.
When the Raiders showed a sign of weakening the pissed-off Wastelanders went to charge after them and that was a costly mistake.

An hour later unexpected reinforcements arrived when they heard something sounding mechanical and soon some explosions and they looked up.
"Well I'll be damned," said Purple. "Looks like they got those old planes up and running."
They welcomed the sight of a company of soldiers from CCA Honey Cake from they form more or less the last bastion of the Grand Pegasus Enclave. They assisted in clearing out the raiders.
After the fighting was over, Paladin Sapphire noticed a lost filly who couldn't find her parents. Purple and Rocky found them dead. Paladin Sapphire took the mortal course and adopted the filly and would raise it as if it was her own.
"Thought you didn't want to have foals?" asked Purple, "But if you want to adopt her. That's your choice and I'll support it."
Paladin Sapphire replied by whispering into Purple's ear, "I don't want to have sex and get pregnant. But I didn't conceive and birth this one. I adopted this one."
The remaining Wastelanders headed towards the town of Crimson. The main group headed east to one final base owned by the Grand Pony Enclave and the bad news is a majority of the Grand Pegasus Enclave soldiers, officers, and even council members flocked to them.
But the night grew so Purple started a campfire.
