Previous ChapterNext Chapter

In the wasteland the six heard a loud sound again and saw the same "Big flying metal bird" and re-met the same Grand Pegasus Enclave Mare and told them that times up.

Purple told her that they still got two days remaining and asked how she knew on where they are.

"Stable 711." said Lieutenant Honey Cake, " We were tracking you since you were ten years old. Who names their foal "Purple Artist"? I mean what an embarrassing name."

"I'm lavender-moderate mix purple and I mostly draw and mostly an artist as a hobby." said Purple Artist, "If you want to fight. Fight me just me and you my companions will stand down and your companions will stand down. Just you and I."

"How about no." said Lieutenant Honey Cake, "Wait a second where's the other Alicorn? Who was watching watching the alicorn? (A Grand Pegasus Enclave pegasus with plasma rifle battle-saddle raised his right hoof) Take off your helmet. May I?"

Purple told her sure and she used a specialized plasma pistol she customly built as a teenage mare that's big enough for her to use her wing to hold and shoot without using a battle-saddle. Lieutenant Honey Cake shot him which turned the Grand Pegasus Enclave Member into a pile of goo.

"Alright where did the other ones go?" asked Lieutenant Honey Cake, "Well four against one won't be fun."

"Huzzah." said Sunrise Storm, "There don't have ammo for energy weapons."

Sunrise Storm then kept the Spark batteries and Crystal batteries rendering the Grand Pegasus Enclave troopers defenseless and helpless without there energy weapon ammo.

Midnight Twister, Rocky Road, Harmony, Crimson, and Sunrise were behind the Grand Pegasus Enclave. They all have ammo not adding that they took some armor-piercing rounds from Stable 190 with some more ammo.

"Feel that fancy boy?" asked Midnight Twister, (The Grand Pegasus Enclave told him yes) "That's a twelve gauge magnum, twelve gauge flechette and/or twelve gauge 4/0 magnum hoof load. Just twitch your head without asking I'll blow your wing off."

"Please don't." said the scared Grand Pegasus Enclave soldier, "I got a wife and two baby daughters back home."

"WILL YOU STOP MOVING!" yelled Lieutenant Honey Cake, "JUST STAND STILL SO I CAN TURN YOU INTO A PILE OF GOO!"

Every time Lieutenant Honey Cake would shoot Purple would jump out of the way.

"Damn it!" exclaimed Honey Cake, "I guess I got to kill you by hoof or wing. Now hold still so I can beat you or choke you to death!"

Lieutenant Honey Cake only got one lucky hit on Purple and he punched her with his right wing with enough force to knock her down.

All but one of the Grand Pegasus Enclave members attacked them but the armor-piercing rounds which killed them because the AP rounds went through their power armor.

"I got an idea." said Sunrise Storm, "Let's mark her."

Sunrise Storm used her magic and placed a knife on Lieutenant Honey Cake's head.

"Why haven't you killed me yet?" asked Lt Honey Cake, "Get it over with."

"We're going to use you." said Purple, "Take us to your commanders and we'll let you live. If not then MT will burn you alive with the Dragons Breath rounds he has."

"Your bluffing." said Lieutenant Honey Cake, "I won't betray the Grand Pegasus Enclave and be branded as a Dashite. You might as well kill me now."

Purple nodded his head at the group and they boarded the "Big metal flying bird" and take it over.

"You go to any Grand Pegasus Enclave base." said Lieutenant Honey Cake, "The Council will have all of you marked for termination. They won't stop hunting you until all of you are dead or just change your appearance and names to think they're dead. Also, all of you aren't even in power armor our weapons will slice all of you apart. Not adding that all inbound flights well if you don't respond with the correct flight name you'll be shot down. We got Automated Surface to Air missiles that'll shoot down any targets. We got automated laser turrets that'll shoot any surface and air targets not adding in a 180 degree is mined with frag, plasma, and pulse mines. We even got patrols that go out."

"You're going to help us get through." said Rocky Road, "Or brother will you please (Midnight Thunder pumps his Hunting Shotgun) or you die it's simple as that."

"Fuck me." said Lieutenant Honey Cake, "I can't believe it. I'm going to become a fucking Dashite or a traitor to the Grand Pegasus Enclave. Damn it."

They stole the power armor and the scared Grand Pegasus Enclave member taught them how to use power armor thinking he'll be spared so he can go home to his wife and twin baby daughters.

On approach to the Grand Enclave Base, Rocky Road gave a pair of headsets to Lieutenant Honey Cake "aw shit." said Lieutenant Honey Cake, "Well I do want to see my sister again."

"Flight GPE-03 your clear to land at Vertipad number 4." said a GPE controller, "Do you copy."

"This is Grand Pegasus Enclave Flight three." said Lieutenant Honey Cake, "Copy that."

"Your voice doesn't sound familiar." said the GPE Controller, "Identify yourself."

"It's me Lieutenant Honey Cake." said Lieutenant Honey Cake, "The Pilot went to take a leak only for a Hellhound to tear him to shreads."

The Grand Pegasus Traffic Controller bought her lie and told them how to land it.

They landed, "Ok. Corporal Orchard Jewel just go." said Lieutenant Honey Cake, "Shit. I'm totally screwed."

"During the flight, you mentioned the High Council." said Crimson Clover, "Take us to them."

"That's suicide." said Honey Cake, "Only the two Alicorns and only Pegasus besides me can reach them the rest of you wouldn't be able to walk on the clouds. Not adding before you reach the council room they would have the place locked down and all of us will be killed."

"This suit is chafing my butt." said Rocky Road, "Why is this thing so tight?"

Midnight Twister told his sister that complaining won't get it fixed or be better.

Lieutenant Honey Cake told them that the command building is up ahead. She's going to go soak her head in disappointment where she saw that somepony probably her sister in retaliation will brand Rainbow Dash's cutie mark making her a Dashite.

"This is suicide." whispered Rocky Road, "We'll be dead within a minute after we kill the base commander."

"Will you be quiet." said Harmony, "Get it over with and go home."

Crimson told them to knock it off where complaining won't make it go any faster and they should just keep their eyes forward and follow Purple's lead.

All of them were scared, all but Midnight Twister who thought about death when he was a young stallion young as seven to seventeen, and that thought still lingers in his mind, and death is something he embraces.

In the command center a three-story with a pre-war radio antenna and saw Grand Pegasus Enclave members hard at work keeping stuff up and running.

They all entered the Base commander's room and the Base commander asked how she can help them.

"We like to send you our regards," said Purple Artist.

Midnight Twister used his magic and fired his shotgun off the 12 gauge magnum rounds and killed Grand Pegasus Enclave Base Commander Lieutenant-Colonel Sugar Gem.

An alarm siren went off and the Enclave base went off and they had to battle their way out.

They then heard a loud shatter which was Purple who shattered a gun case and took a prototype plasma minigun.

Purple used his magic and fired it at the Grand Pegasus Enclave members which the unarmored ones and the officers fell quickly. But the Grand Pegasus Enclave members in power armor were more of a challenge. The combination of a plasma minigun and Flechette rounds from Midnight Twister's shotgun made not short but made work of them.

Crimson told them that she saw a Stable door and the Stable door number is "711" then she went to Purple.

They then moved to Stable 711. Purple and Midnight kept the Grand Pegasus Enclave busy. Tut the great thing for Midnight Twister and Purple Artist is that they can use their magic and blind fire which they don't have to rely on battle-saddles which the Enclave has.

In the stable there were non armed and not in power armor Grand Pegasus Enclave pegasus which wasn't a threat to them.

________________

In the mainframe room Rocky Road went to go find Purple's Pip-Buck. But there's thousands of them so she shortened the list to "Stable 190" and there's only seven hundred ponies mostly unicorns and earth ponies.

Rocky Road then finally found Purple's Pip-Buck and put on Purple's file that he's dead so the Grand Pegasus Enclave will stop following them.

Unknown to them that the Grand Pegasus Enclave can still track the Pip-Buck anywhere in the world, even underground. They want to know who in the world built Stable 711 besides saving the airponies of the Equestrian AIrforce. The Pegasi were placed in cryogenic sleep because The Last Day happened too fast and they couldn't reach the clouds without being killed.

They saw thousands of ponies on the list and a list of Stables across Equestria and some Stables are different some have two or three thousand ponies to a couple of thousand, some don't have ponies but griffons or both ponies and zebras.

"This is just plain creepy," said Rocky Road, There's list of the original Stable dwellers from when the Megaspell bombs dropped to now. Creepy that this thing has been keeping track of who's born and died. Let's go."

They then went back out to see that Purple and Midnight were still keeping the Grand Pegasus Enclave busy.

They were done but they used the rear of the barracks and other buildings and made it to the front gate but the Grand Pegasus Enclave didn't give pursuit.

Lieutenant Honey Cake was the only high ranking officer remaining besides her father. But she told the High Council about Stable 190 and how they housed or sheltered the terrorists that stole their power armor and killed so many of them.

The Enclave high council discussed it for several days before giving her the greenlight.

While out in the Equestrian wasteland still in the Undiscovered West a new selectable under the radio popped up and it says "Stable 190 Emergency Broadcast"

"Purple this is your mother." said a panicked Harp, "Some pegasus in black suits with weapons we've never seen before breached the Stable door somehow. Come home son we need help. So far they have only been killing the elderly and everypony who isn't pregnant or a child. Hurry Purple we need your help."

"It's all my fault." said Purple, "If I didn't tell any of you to help me to take on the Grand Pegasus Enclave then my Stable would still be safe. Now there all in danger and will be killed because of me."

"I don't want to sound rude," said Sunrise Storm. "But we put on your file on the terminal that your dead. Maybe it's a retaliation strike from them?"

"I say we should go and kick their asses." said Rocky Road, "They attack the innocent who had nothing to do with this."

"Rocky!" yelled Midnight Twister, "She right. Let's go and help the defenseless."

"No. All of you stay here." said Purple, "I started this. I put my Stable in extreme danger and I only can fix this. I need to make this right to my Stable dwellers back in Stable 190."

Purple then galloped off to Stable 190 but his companions followed him. He re told them to stay put where he needs to do this. He doesn't want their help because it isn't their home in trouble.

They still followed Purple and they got ambushed by Mercenaries and the same pony mercenary told Purple that he's still willing to buy the earth pony, unicorn, and pegasus.

Purple told him that they're not for sale and they're busy.

The mercenaries told them that it ain't up for debate. They told Purple he can either give them over or they can be killed and the mares he want can be taken by force and it's up to Purple.

Purple told them that there in a hurry and like before there not for sale and they're with him.

The mercenary told his pals to kill them but keep the light chocolate brown mare, red pegasus, and orange earth pony alive. But the problem is that the mercenaries have .32 pistols, lead pipes, and police batons.

"Wow really." said Midnight Twister, ".32 rounds the weakest in the wasteland. A unicorn with a 12 Gauge, a unicorn with a 5.56mm bolt-action rifle, an alicorn with a plasma minigun, 7.62x51mm Battle Rifle, and a .45 Auto pistol. Not adding a pegasus with battle-saddles with lever-action rifles, and an earth pony with grenade machinegun battle-saddle. These got to be some stupid mercs."

The mercenaries with batons and pipes were placed down quickly before they got into range.

They also killed the other mercenaries with .32 pistols then they continued their way to Stable 190.

"Alright well thanks for the protection." said Purple, "I need to do this alone. I don't expect to come back and If I'm not back within a couple of hours then leave."

"Were coming with you Purple," said Crimson.

"Thanks but no." said Purple, "All of you stay here. I need to do this alone. Stay, that's an order."

Purple then went through the wooden door and walked down the almost dark rock tunnel and entered Stable 190.

Purple looked down after seeing some dead Stable Security officers and he shook his head. He knows the security mare who use to foal sit him when he was young and they didn't stand a chance and they were killed and were caught off guard.

Purple then went up to the Overmare's office to fine Lieutenant Honey Cake sitting behind the desk with her rear hooves on the desk.

"Hello." said Lieutenant Honey Cake, "Did you miss me?"

"Tell your attack dogs to back off." said Purple, "These are innocent ponies killing them just screams out your no better than Raiders and Slavers."

"We captured you mother, sister, and brother." said Lieutenant Honey Cake, "If you just move an inch I'll order my stallions slice their throats or turn them into goo or ash."

"Just take me." said Purple, "Let them and the rest of the fellow Stable Dwellers go and take me instead. They don't deserve it and deserve what there going through by your soldiers."

Lieutenant Honey Cake rolled her eyes but thought for a few minutes while holding her specialized plasma pistol in her wing pointed at Purple.

"Alright." said Lieutenant Honey Cake before pressing a button, "All Grand Pegasus Enclave members stand down stop attacking and killing the Stable Dwellers. That's a direct order."

They did on her orders and left but she told Purple to start walking while she pointed her plasma pistol at the back of his head.

Outside Purple told them not to attack and everything will be fine and not to engage or attack the Grand Pegasus Enclave.
