The land of Equestria has been turned into a desert wasteland. And it's all Twilight Sparkle's fault! Dubbed the Cursed One by all ponykind, Twilight must now live in hiding to keep herself alive. Even her once close pony friends have abandoned her. The only one by her side is her number one assistant, Spike, who has becomes a gun wielding badass bounty hunter to keep her safe.

This story has no connection with what I call my TwiMacVerse. I've actually had this idea for a while. This also doesn't use anything from Season 3 as it has just started.

WARNING: This story contains some violence and strong language. Viewer discretion is advised.

Also I'm aware that this image of Spike won't match the description of him in the story. It was the coolest pic of him I could find at the time. If someone wants to draw him in a more cowboy style, go for it and send me a link and I just might make it the new cover pic. ^_^
