"Ok... lights gone, lets get going."

"SHHH! I think there's one on the roof." We've been here for almost two hours, awkwardly holding each other. Every time we we though about leaving one of the search lights would pass over, making us stay a little longer.

"Well..."

"SH!"

"But..."

"SHUSH!"

"I need to.."

"SHHHHHHSSH!"

"Ariwa?" Aw shit. We both tense up as we hear a creature walk around behind us, getting closer and closer to my back.

CREAK

'Fuck' I mouth as the creature presses against the metal panel behind me. We hear it start to climb up the panel, making us both panic. Should I fight it? Or should we just sit here and hope that it over look us? Before I could voice my concern, Rarity went ahead and made the decision for us, by dropping her magic.

THUD

'Fucking asshole' I mouth as the creature fell forward, making me lay on top of Rarity as it now stands on top of me.

'Sorry' she mouths to me as I try to hold myself up.

THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD

"WA! NIWIJIMA!" The creature cheers joyfully as it bounces up and down. I just...

SNAP-WOOSH

We both just stare at each other as the weight from my back suddenly disappears.

"What the fuck was that?"

"I don't want to find out.... and please stop thinking about Luna."

.................................................................................................................................................................................................

"More guards... you can't be serious." Rainbow Dash says I continue to watch them run off.

"Yup."

"What makes you so sure that they'll come back with more guards?"

"Ponies like that always do. Just trust me, I know." I say as I turn back and head back to the others.

"Well... what are we going to do about this?" She asks as she trots along with me.

"We? I'm going down there to do a little recon, your staying back here with everypo..."

"WHAT!?" She yells as she stops and gawks at me. "You're not doing this alone! I'm coming with..."

"No, you're not." I say as I walk into the house everypony's sleeping in. I sneak my way over to Twilight and pull out a quill and paper. After writing a quick note in case I get captured I head back out and start walking out of town.

"You can't stop me from coming along." Rainbow says as she trots along with me. Actually, I could, but a sleeper hold is a little extreme.

"*sigh* fine. But do what I say, when I say it. Alright." She gives me a mock salute and takes off in the air. I just stand there and wait until she flies back.

"I'll let you take lead on this one."

"Hold on you two." I turn back to see Twilight walking towards the two of us. "I'm coming along as well."

"Really... anypony else want to tag along?" I ask irritably.

"I'm good." Pinkie yells.

"Tryin ta sleep." Applejack yells.

"Yer good eh." Bantler yells. I look back to Twilight and Rainbow Dash, both of them just staring back at me unamused.

"You really need to work on being sneaky babe." Twilight says as she walks off, Rainbow Dash following closely behind.

"Am I really that loud?"

"Yes." Everypony yells from behind. I glance back before running after the girls. I thought I was sneaky... I didn't hear anything at least.

We spend almost thirty minutes until we finally find the place we're looking for, a large log cabin. It's two stories tall and is very long. Several of the window's have a warm yellow light glowing from them, but there are a few that are dark. I can hear the rustle and bustle of several ponies inside, probably the other guards. We all glance to one another before sprinting to the back of the building.

"OK, whats the plan then?" Rainbow asks as we huddle next to one another.

"This is purely reconnaissance, we get in, check and see how many guards there are, and get out..."

"Lets go in one of the darkened windows. From there we can sneak to the main lobby... well try to at least." Twilight says, getting Rainbow to snicker.

"Whatever, lets just get going. Rainbow, check to make sure the coast is clear. I'll fly Twilight up." She nods to me and flies up to the first window. After pressing her face against it, she opens it up and pulls herself inside. I grab Twilight around the waist and begin to fly us up. "Am I really that un-sneaky?"

"Whats important is that I love you." She says as she pats my foreleg. That's a yes. After Rainbow helps Twilight inside I pull myself in and we begin to..."

CREAK

"Eep!" Twilight says before teleporting herself out of the room. Rainbow and I look to each other before panicking.

"What do we do?"

"I don't know.... uh, hide!"

"Where?" I look around the dark room and see a bed against the wall with the window. Without saying a word I scramble underneath it and lay on my side, that being the only way I fit. Rainbow crawls in right after me and tries to move some of...the... why are there so many dildos in here?

"AH!" Some mare gasps as she door burst open, revealing two sets of hooves, one light cream, the other light tan. "You're such a slut Claire." She says as they begin to make out some more, making loud sloshing noises.

"Shut up and lick me Butterscotch." Says the other mare as she trips her and flips her onto her back. Once down, the light tan one get into position and starts 69ing the other mare, both of them moaning softly.

CLUNK

I look over to Rainbow and stare at her, waiting for an explanation for her hitting me. She just squints her eyes at me and points at..... OK then. I have an erection. Does she really blame me?

"Did you hear something?" The light cream one, Clair I'm guessing, asks as she stops licking the other one and looks around.

"Uh... no... well, maybe. I was a little busy." She says as she stands up and looks around. "It's probably just Dawn being a perv somewhere. Lets take this to the bed..."

"But he's probably watching." Clair complains as the other one walks over to the bed and starts reaching under the bed. Rainbow and I both panic as we try to avoid her hoof. Rainbow looks around and pushes a strap on into her hooves, getting her to pull it up.

"Then lets give him a show." Butterscotch says as she picks up the strap on and starts putting it on. The other one stands up and walks over to the bed, laying on it with her rear hooves on the ground. "That's more like it."

"Just... don't smack me like last time. Explaining those bruises to Thunder was... awkward." Clair asks as Butterscotch gets in position behind her.

"Aw, don't worry my little E'Claire, I'll be gentle." Butterscotch says as she begins to rock back and forth, getting soft moans from Clair... or possibly E'Claire. I feel something push against me... something I'd rather not have brush against me. I shuffle back as another dildo is pull out with a light cream aura. "OH! Now who's being rough."

"Sorry, I got excited." They both giggle as they continue to got at it, getting louder and louder as they go. I jump a little when I feel something drop onto... me. I look down to see that Rainbow has taken a small cloth and draped it over my penis. I give her a questioning look, to which she mouths 'protection.' Why did we have to go into the window?

.................................................................................................................................................................................................

"OK, on the count of three we make a run for it, got it?"

"No."

"Great, one..."

"Miles, I must protest..."

"Two..."

"They're going to see us!"

"Three..."

"Miles!"

"GO!" I jump up and look around. Most of the other creatures are looking away from us, so I grab Rarity and launch us to the next roof. I hope from roof to roof until we make it into the southern district.

"Which one is... the one we're looking for?" Rarity asks as I look from building to building. I see one towards the back with two giant V's on the side of the building, so I make my way to that one. We land in front of the building with a soft thud.

THUD

I drop Rarity as a single creature begins to run at us from down the street. I thrust a single palm at it and send a wave of fire at it. When the flames subside, all that's left are a few small fires that are growing in nearby piles.

"Sorry about dropping you." I says as I help her back up.

"I-its fine. Lets just get this message and be on our way." I nod to her and head inside the large apartment complex. Th main lobby consist of a reception counter in the center of the room and Mico platforms lining the walls to our left and right. The green goo covers most of the room, but thins out the further away from the door it gets. There's a computer on the reception counter that looks like it still has some power, so I run over to it and start typing away.

"Where's your rifle?" I ask as she looks around the room.

"I must of left it on the roof back there... sorry."

"Its fine. We can just get it after this... maybe. Room 1187. Lets go." I look at the Mico platforms and see that they are numbered off. I head to number eleven and take it. I appear in a longer grey hallway. Most of the lights here are on, there are a few that are broken. It seems as if there was a fight in this hall. Bullet holes speckle the walls, along with a few scorch marks. I step off the platform and wait for Rarity to show up.

"Come on. Room eighty seven." I say as she flashes in. We walk through the hall in silence, glancing from room to room as we go. Most of the doors are shut, but there are a few open that help tell what happened. Destroyed furniture, stains from blood loss, missing walls. The fight here must of been intense here. To think that the Unfamiliar could get better...

"Here it is." Rarity says as she tries to open the door, finding it locked. She steps aside as I face it and prepare to kick it open.

SNAP

The door snaps off of its hinges as I kick it down. We walk in and take a look around. The area right after the door seems to be the living room and kitchen. The kitchen takes up the area to the right while the left is the living room. A large two piece couch takes up the back corner to the left. To the right of the couch is a small hallway that has three doors, one on the far wall and one on the wall on either side of it. On the wall to my left is a large TV with a desk beside it. On the desk is a computer and a small footlocker. I walk over to the computer and start it up, getting the queue sound in response.

"I'm going to have a look around." Rarity says as she walks to the back of the apartment. I nob to her as the main screen comes up. I look through all of the files until I come to a folder titled 'For Miles'. I open it up to see that it contains two video messages. I connect my phone to the computer and start uploading them as I play the first one.

"Hey there Miles." Dare says as he faces the screen. He's wearing normal street clothes and seems... troubled. The back of the room seems to be fine, no damages, no bullet holes, nothing. He's just sitting there, running a hand through his styled black hair as he tries to start talking.

"Is that one of your friends?" Rarity asks as she walks up beside me.

"Yeah... that's Dare Libere."

"So... we've been waiting for two months now... and you haven't shown up yet. Some of us are starting to doubt that you will ever show up, but I know you will. You always came through for us in the past." He says as he looks at something off screen and then back to me. "Topaz was a shit storm, though I know you know that, but... *sigh* Quartz Crest is no Topaz. You thought we had racist in Topaz, there's a committee here that catalog's all none Caucasians and has military support. They even brought Auxy in for questioning becuase she was married to Dolum. Bigots. She almost went homeless, but I wouldn't allow that. So I let her into my home."

"That was very generous of him." Rarity comments.

"Please, knowing him he probably tried to buy her a car as well." I laugh.

"I tried to get her a car as well but she wouldn't let me, says she can do without." Called it. "Auxy and her boy have been with me along with my mother.... my father didn't make it." He's goes quiet as he covers his mouth with his hand, looking away from the screen again. "The others have are starting to separate, though they assure me that they aren't. I know Inficiunt is using again, though he won't admit it. Tenera has been... different. That shy girl from the library has turned into some... vengeful... Fidus is pregnant. We found out a few days ago when she was puking in the morning for a week straight. Iacet and Tenera both swear that its yours, but I know better. Its like they don't even know you anymore, you... rapist? You can't even be touched sensually without flipping out. I tried asking Fidus about it, but every time I do, she just goes quiet for days."

"Miles... you were accused of rape?" Rarity asks in disbelief.

"Yeah. In reality I killed the guy who raped Fidus... but I somehow was the one to take the blame."

"Ant to top it off, Captain's been drinking again!" Dare say with almost a laugh. "We're falling apart man. We need you, more now then ever before. I don't know if we're going to get to Susurrans without you... though... he did tell us something... interesting when we were on our way out... I think you'd want to hear this." I lean forward and listen intently. This is it , is he or isn't he? "We were the last ones to leave Topaz. As we loaded up the last truck, this orphanage dean came running up to us, shouting for us to wait for him. Susurrans just grabbed Tenera's rifle and shot him in the knee, letting the Unfamiliar chasing after him catch up and devour him. When we asked him about it, he just said that it was pay back for what he did to you... so I guess we won't be throwing you a welcome back party when you make it back."

"Really." I say flatly. Of fucking course he would tell them that but nothing else.

"Everyone here is worried about food shortages, so they've started maxing out production. Its working for now, but... how long can those machines run for? Miles... I don't know if you're ever going to hear this... I don't even know if you're still alive, but... hurry back to us. Please. We all miss you, even if we are trying to hide it." The screen goes back to the folder as the message ends. I take a moment to collect myself before moving on to the next video.

Immediately the sound of gunfire and explosions fills the room as Dare sits there wearing all of his armor. The screen goes fuzzy for a second before he removes his helmet and sets it down.

"They found us." He stated simply. "It only took them four months after Topaz to get to us, and this time they're much more organized and well armed. They've taken every dropped weapon from Topaz and are using them against us, making the fights more effective, though we still out skill them. I don't know how much longer we can hold out. Topaz fell in a month... its been a week here and command is already talking about leaving. Susurrans say I have to leave something behind for you to follow after us, so I'm leaving my SMG." He says as he pulls it out and presents it. Its a standard PX 90 that I've enchanted for him. But... in the stock is the gem that I made for all of us. "Yeah... it'll be weird not fighting with this, but then again, it'll be weird fighting without you. If you get this message, then maybe you're willing to go a little further. Susurrans says the next city we're going to is Amethyst, which make no sense to me at all. Why wouldn't we just go to Jasper or New Garnet? Whatever. I can't think about this right now. I feel as if I'm the only one able to make a stand for the group, so that's what I'm going to do. I will not allow our friends to drift apart. My SMG will be in a footlocker by the computer, the password is largus avaritia. Find us Miles, I don't know if we can do this without you."

"That can't be it." I say as the screen goes back to the home screen. I look down to the footlocker and go to the panel on the side. Once I put the password in it immediately pops open. I open it to find the SMG and a note on top.

Miles,

When you disappeared, we didn't know what to do. In the frenzy of the fight, we all added the gems that you gave us to our weapons to add to the effects you already put on them. We also took some of the weapons from your foot locker.

Please, bring these to us...

Dare Libere....

P.S. This is Sine. By some, we mean all. Sorry, got a fight to win.

I chuckle a little from the message as I set it aside and pull out the SMG. I look it over to see that its in decent repair. It should be operable. In the center of the stock is the gem I made for him, connected by wires and metal clasps.

"Is this another one of those weapons that you made that have secret tricks to them?" Rarity asks as she looks it over. "Becuase I must say, I love the design. Very fierce."

"I only added an enchantment that raised the rate of fire. I don't know what they added to it." I say as I look it over some more.

"Uh... do you need a moment?" Rarity asks as she backs away a little.

"I'll be fine. I'm a little mad about a few things, but we need to get out of her." I say as I hand off the SMG to Rarity. As soon as she takes it with her magic the gem begins to glow brightly, making her drop it. We both stare at it for a bit, waiting for... anything really, until I go to pick it up. Nothing happens when I hold it. Strange... they must of put a character enchantment in it...

"Miles, what was that?" Rarity asks as she joins me in inspecting the weapon.

"I have an idea that I'm going to test." I say as I aim at the wall and pull the trigger.

*PEPEPEPEPEW*

As expected, it fired just as I remembered, leaving a few small holes in the wall...

"MILES! A little warning next time! I nearly had a heart attack." Rarity says as she takes a few breathes to calm herself.

"Sorry. Now you try it." I say as I offer her the gun to her. She takes it with her magic and gives it a quick look over before aiming at the wall and pulling the trigger.

*PEPEPEPEPEW*

We both jump back as she blows a hole in the wall. What the fuck did they to it? How is it still in one piece? WHY DON'T I GET TO DO THAT!?

"Well... I think... um... so I guess I'll be using this one from now on."

"... lets just work on getting out of here. It should be easy, we're right next to an exit...."

.................................................................................................................................................................................................

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Scream both of the mares above as they hit their climax, making a puddle of love juice splatter right before us. They both pant a bit before climbing into bed and fall asleep. I sigh in relief as....

*sniff sniff*

I look over to Storm to see him sniffing the air. Curious, I take a few sniffs...

"Storm, maybe you should head..."

"I need Twilight.... now." He says flatly as he crawls out from underneath the bed. I quickly get out and follow after him as he marches straight through the door.

"Uh... what would you need Twilight for? Maybe you could just..."

"I need to buck something... right now." He says as he turns down the hall and stops in his tracks.

"Storm! Dash! Boy am I gad to see you two." Says Twilight as she runs up to us wearing guard armor. This can't end well.
