Purple carried all of his friends inside of the fort and placed them in unoccupied beds so they could sleep. Purple went on his merry way to Hill Hitch and he thought he could try and reason with the leader of the Judgement Hour mercs.

Purple went back to the same town where he bought the Trench gun, bandolier, and other important stuff. But he went into the general store and traded the junk he has for caps. But he spent the caps for food and a lasso.

Purple went over to the gunshop.

***

Inside of the gunshop.

The gunshop's owner was being harassed by her mother to ask a stallion to impregnate her to give her grandfoals.

The gun shop owner told her mother that she isn't interested in settling down and with her work she's busy selling guns, accessories and ammo from eight in the morning to eight at night, and she makes ammo.

But she also has a contract from the The Lawponies to supply them with a hefty order of three hundred lever-action rifles, fifty shotguns, thirty semi-automatic rifles, twelve machine guns, and four tons worth of ammo.

She didn't really have much time for herself and she definitely wouldn't have the time to raise a foal.

The bell rang so a unicorn mare went up front and saw Purple looking at an .30-30 Carbine Lever-action and a A5 Semi-automatic Shotgun.

"Um excuse me sir?" asked the unicorn mare, "How would you like to get your dick wet?"

Purple replied, "Yeah no thanks. I'd just come in here to buy some ammo and maybe buy a new gun."

The mare replied, "My daughter will give you a 75% off discount if you and her have sex and place a foal in her."

Purple replied, "Yeah no thanks. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to have sex with another mare no matter what."

The gunshop owner's mother fired a dart at her daughter and Purple and placed the two into the same bed for them to breed even though the two don't want to. Purple really doesn't want to because he already had his sperm stolen once by Honey Cake, the second time was out of fear, and the third and final time was to help and he thinks he already has enough soon to be kids.

***

A couple of hours later

Purple and the mare got up and quickly realized that the mare's mother wanted them to breed and placed them in the same bed. The mare's mother was hoping for Purple to have a wet dream and with each other facing each other that he'll get the gun store owner pregnant.

They quickly found out that the door was locked from the outside and she told them to be breeding so she can have healthy grandfoals.

Purple didn't want to and the gun store owner mare finally gave in to her mother's constant nagging at her for the past two months of getting pregnant.

***

Purple walked out of the store with a free semi-automatic shotgun, the .30-30 carbine lever-action rifle and enough ammo for both guns to fill three Equestrian infantry companies during the war and that was 120 ponies each company.

Purple hated it though he was prohibited to leave and he was allowed to leave by getting the gun shop owner pregnant. Lavender's mother was right; she did say when Lavender was born that he would have a lot of foals and help those in need.

Overmare Harp Love Harmonica was right but she didn't know her son would be a breeder.

but she knew that more of him is out there and the wasteland will be a better place because of that.

Purple walked through the town with livestock, it had several suppliers and businesses such as a saloon, a doctor, a general store, a gunsmith, a hotel, and a breeding stable.

The roads were made of brick or dirt but Purple didn't mind it. He walked through the fields humming but every now and again he used his Recon Vision to scan for threats or booby traps which luckily there were none.

***

A couple of hours below Hill Hitch.

Purple saw a golden plaque that said:

"Lance Corporal Hitch Fry Hill. Lance Corporal Hitch Fry was the first Earth pony stallion born here and raised here on Celestia island and was the first volunteer soldier during the war. Lance Corporal Hitch was assigned to the Seventh Marine Division, 17th Regiment, Fourth Battalion, Third Company, Seventh Platoon, First Squad. He single hoofedly killed two hundred and thirty Zebra soldiers on Laminitis Hill with his Balk Automatic Rifle as the rest of his company was killed in action.

"LCPL Hitch Fry was killed by a Zebra soldier when his B.A.R & .45 Auto Pistol ran out of ammo. He slowed down the Zebra's enough time for the Equestrian 88th, and 89th Infantry divisions to fully repel the Zebra's. He was posthumously given the Medal of Honor, Navy Cross, National Defense Service Medal, Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal, Defense Distinguished Service Medal, Navy Distinguished Service Medal, Silver Star, Bronze Star, and Legion of Merit. LCPL Hitch was buried at the summit of this hill with full military honors."

May he rest in peace for giving those Zebra's a hard time, Purple thought, He was a brave stallion.

Purple looked up at the hill and it was nine hundred and ninety-nine feet tall. And he gulped because four hundred and ninety-six feet of the hill was covered in a mist and he didn't know if they were waiting for him. He walked up with his head high and told himself that if the mercs kill him then he was going to face death with dignity and not cower like a foal or like Arsen.

Purple reached the summit unscathed but was captured by a wing of Artificial Alicorns and brought to their leader who was a rare Artificial Alicorn, a poppy red with black hair.

"Never saw a red and black artificial alicorn," Purple said. "How is this possible? Are you the daughter of Red Eye?"

The Alicorn replied, "I cannot confirm or deny that question. Also, you've been a pain in my ass! I mean do you know how many soldiers of mine you killed?! How much caps, equipment, and everything else you cost me!?"

Purple replied, "No. They shot at me and my friends and almost tried to kill my family and asshats in my Stable. So it's their fault for starting this fight and not adding that one of your mercs tried to buy three of my friends from me. He wanted to buy three of my friends and I told him no and he came back and offered me more money for them but I refused so he tried to take them by force. And I'd put two rounds in his face. If you're going to fight me. Let's have it between me and you and not your almost endless mooks!"

The red artificial alicorn replied, "I got something better!"

The Red Artificial Alicorn lit up her horn and there was a red aurora on her horn and soon magical auroras were on both Purple's cybernetic and normal wing. She pulled hard to make sure Purple could feel the pain.

Purple couldn't use his magic because he walked through a machine that disabled his magic and he was being held down as well. He tried but couldn't hold back his painful scream.

She painfully ripped off both of Lavender's wings and said tauntingly, "You don't feel special anymore."

Purple replied, "And you can go fuck yourself."

She replied, "Persistent little fucker, aren't you? I like that in my stallions. Guards take him to my room. I would like to have a private word with him later."

***
Over at the Fort.

Everyone slept in until two in the afternoon but when they noticed they were missing Purple they expected him to be with Sapphire Love Heart only for her to say that he wasn't with her.

They assumed he was out exploring or out helping train some Lawponies to maintain their weapons or teach them not how to blow themselves up with a single fragmentation grenade.

Sapphire Heart walked into the command room and heard that the leader of The Lawponies was making some kind of plan to storm Hill Hitch.

***

A few more hours.

Rocky, Sapphire Heart, Critical, Rainy, Flared Blizzard, Double Tap, and Hailing were at the base of Hill Hitch with thirty-two Lawponies armed with .45 Auto Submachine Guns, .30-06 semi-automatic rifles, Balk Automatic RIfles, and .30 Carbine Semi-auto rifles.

"What are we going to do?" asked a Unicorn Lawpony soldier.

Somepony replied, "I don't know. Just let me think!"

Another Lawpony unicorn replied, "Let's go get the bastards!"

They got out of a ditch and charged up the hill but it had a few concrete blockhouse fortifications with a few Judgment Hour mercs inside and they picked off the Lawponies.

The Lawponies had one advantage and that was they could go around which they did and blow open the door to shoot the mercs without hesitation.

As they were getting closer to the summit they started to get pelted by high explosives and white phosphorus rounds and the latter was more dangerous.

Sapphire Heart picked up a Balk Automatic Rifle and used that instead because the mercs could trace back her Novasurge rifle. It's an energy weapon and she kinda felt bad for killing the GPE scout to get it from her. It didn't help that the GPE mare she killed begged her not to kill her but Sapphire Heart still did.

They kept on moving up the hill shooting at the mercenaries.

***

They reached the summit and fought more mercs but the mercs on top were poorly organized and poorly trained on how to use a weapon which made them easier to be killed.

Sapphire Heart charged ahead into the main headquarters building and fired her Balk Automatic Rifle and shot the mercs up without hesitation. But she left the ones still alive to bleed out.

The Judgement Hour mercs were easily killed off.

Purple walked out of the bunker but none of them believed it was him due to the fact that he's missing his wings but it was him.

Everyone decided to fortify the place and Purple thought they could come back to retake the hill.

"What happened to you?" asked Sapphire Heart, "What happened to your wings?"

Lavender replied, "I had a 'lovely' meeting with a red and black artificial alicorn. I'd asked her if she was the daughter of Red Eye and she told me that she cannot confirm or deny it, which I say she is. But as retribution for us shooting up her operations in Chicoltgo. Then she ordered her two elite guards to take me to her bedroom. She used her magic to fix the wounds she caused but held me down and I'll leave it at that."

Sapphire Heart could only imagine what happened. But they had a view of dead trees, dry ground, and dead grass for miles and miles but the fog dissipated.

More Lawponies arrived to help to reinforce the hill until more help could arrive.

***

At night both Lavender and Sapphire Heart were laying on their backs staring up at the stars.

"They're beautiful, aren't they?" asked Lavender, "The stars."

Sapphire Heart replied, "Yeah the stars are beautiful."

Lavender replied, "They're even more wonderful how they sparkle in your eyes."

Lavender gave Sapphire Heart a smooch on her cheek and went to bed by laying next to her.
