After Spike had finished the cake we finally left, much to Storm's pleasure. I'll have to make copies of the pictures I took.... when they make printers here that is. I guess I could try to find one in Topaz, it would be faster. I look around and to see a good number of ponies walking around the market, now seems like a good time to pester.

"Happy bachelor party to you..."

"I swear, don't Miles." Storm grumbles.

"What's going on?" Spike says from Storm's back.

"Happy bachelor party to you..." I sing, glancing over to Big Mac and getting a nod from him.

"Do you have to?"

"Why the hell did you come here.... please leave you're scaring the kids! HAhahahaha!" Big Mac and I sing, making us both fall over in a fit of laughter. Storm tries to hide his blushing face from the crowd staring at us being idiots.

"OK OK, you had your fun, can we get going now?" Storm asks, but we ignore him due to our sides falling off. Storm sighs and just bites the collar of my shirt as he begins to drag me down the street.

"You're a... you're a... you're a pedophile HAHAHAHA!" I muster out before I begin to laugh even more.

"HA HA shoo phunny." He says through his teeth as he continues to drag me. "Jusht whait fer yur party." He says, ending the funny.

"Dude, you better not..."

"I already have the train tickets for the three of us." He say as he lets go of me.

"Tickets? Where are you guys going? Can I come?" Spike asks.

"Sorry Spike, but the place we're going isn't for baby dragons."

"Dude, where are we going?" I ask as I get up.

"Don't worry about it. Lets just get the stuff from Topaz." He says as he walks away from me. Storm... what are you planning? I follow him to Twilight's where we stop by the front door. From inside we hear the laughter and cheers from all of the girls, making us scared to enter.

"After you." I say as I step back.

"No way, you owe me for embarrassing me in town." Storm says as he jumps behind me and pushes me towards the door.

"Your fiancee, your door." I say as I spin around and start pushing him towards the door. He pivots around and starts trying to push me towards the door, but I trip him. He grabs onto me and pulls me down with me, making us both begin to wrestle around, trying to get dominance over each other.

"I'll get it." Spike says happily from the side as he approaches the door.

"DON'T!" We both yell as he swings open the door. From my point of view, I can only see a shocked Twilight... but that's all I needed to see. She has a necklace made of condoms around her neck and horn. She's also wearing purple and black striped socks that go up her entire legs. She also seems to be wearing some kind of corset that's black and purple....

KER-FWOOSH

I roll over a bit from Storm's wings going straight back. Luckily I can't see inside anymore from this vantage point... but Spike walked right in...

"Twilight... what are you wearing?" He asks as he backs away from the door. Everything stays silent for a bit until Storm shakes his head and jumps over to Spike, covering his eyes with a hoof. He looks back inside for a second before he picks Spike back up and flies back towards town. I take a few breathes before I stand up and walk beside the door.

"Everyone decent?" I ask.

"You can come in darling." Rarity says from inside, so I do. I notice that Twilight isn't here, she probably went upstairs to get decent. The inside looks like any other party had just happened. Streamers, confetti, opened presents, some white and brown mare hanging upside down from the roof..... wait... what?

"Uh... some party huh?" I say weakly as I take a seat.

"It was until you came and ruined it! I'm still getting paid though.... right?" Fucking shit! That's a guy!

"Of course Squishy, just swing by Sugar Cube corner some time this week and take it." Pinkie says as she trots over to him and helps him down.

"*sigh* Cheesus is going to kill me." He mumbles before he walks out of the room.

"Right... so, anyways. The reason we came over was becuase we need to go to Topaz again. And I know that if I went without telling you guys, you would get mad. So..."

"Sweet Betsy Miles, why would ya need ta go on such short notice?" Applejack asks.

"Becuase TB is rushing things becuase of something super duper totally awesome ultra special for chapter one hundred. But, what is it you need to get from Topaz that's so important?" Pinkie says nonchalantly as she eats an entire plate of cookies.

"Uh.... suits. Who's TB?"

"Why would you need to go to Topaz Falls for suits when you could just get them from me?" Rarity asks.

"Spartan law dictates that we get married in official uniform. But I will still need your help though. I doubt that any survived three thousand years, so I'm going to nee to find a picture of some kind and show it to you. Then I would need you to replicate it."

"You want me... to make your suits... human suits... for the.. and..." She falls onto her back and holds a hoof to her forehead as she drools a bit.

"That would be a yes. From both her and me." Rainbow says as she picks her up and sets her on her hooves.

"Great, can I count on the rest of you?" I ask as I look around the room.

"Shucks, do ya really need ta ask?"

"Well... if you really need me..."

" OO OO is it going to be fun? Cause I love fun!"

"Uh... I doubt...."

"I'M IN!" Pinkie yells as she bounces up and down.

"And you can count on me." Twilight says as she marches down the stairs, looking like her normal self. "How long do you plan on being down there?" She asks as she pulls out a quill and paper.

"I don't plan on being down there for very long. Just get in, get the stuff, get out. That's it." She nods and writes down a few things.

"Alright, everypony head home and get everything you'll need for this. Plan for a day at most. We'll all meet back at Miles's place in an hour." Twilight says, getting a cheer from everyone else as they run out the front door.

"I'll meet you guys at my place then." I say as I walk out of the library. I make it home as quickly as possible and go straight for my room, where I find all of my armor and weapons. After putting it all back on and grabbing the spare rifles I head down stairs and pause in the living room, where I see Lupus and Hati just sitting there, staring at me. "I swear if you two fuck in my bed again..."

"Hey Miles!" I look over to see Rainbow Dash flying down to me from her home. "Why are we really going to Topaz?"

"What? I already told you..."

"Yeah yeah yeah. You could just tell Rarity what the suits need to look like. There's something down there that you really want, isn't there?"

"*sigh* I never was a good liar, yes. A friend of mine left me a message from the past with coordinates to Quartz Crest. I want to take these coordinates and find Quartz Crest."

"Why didn't you just tell us that in the first place?" She asks as we take a seat on the front porch.

"I don't know. I was self conscience about it I guess. Sorry."

"Its cool, but you should trust us a little more. We're here for you if you ever need us."

"I know, I'll try to in the future." We sit there in silence for awhile, waiting for everyone to show up.

"So..... what does your mark mean?" I ask to start a conversation.

"It represents my passion for racing. I love to race, move fast, athletic stuff like that." She says as she glances back to it with a warm smile.

"Cool... I get the Dash part now." We share a small laugh before it goes quiet again.

"Did Terradisians have racing?" Rainbow asks, breaking the silence.

"Yeah. Did you see any of the cars in Topaz. Uh... metal carriages that..."

"Yeah, I saw those. You raced them?"

"Well, not those ones, but we made specialized ones that we raced. There's actually a track the goes around the entire city and one in the center. They're both in the lower sections though. If we can get Topaz safe again I'll have to show you one day."

"Sounds awesome. How fast did they go?"

"Well, the outer track cars went.... about six hundred eighty kilometers an hour, while the other one was restricted to two hundred eighty, due to the tight turns it had."

"Miles... I don't know what a kilometer is."

"Right right... let me think.... I'm about two meters tall, and there are a thousand meters in a kilometer."

"Hmm.... stand up." I stand up and watch as she walks around me, sizing me up. "You seem to be six feet tall, a little more but whatever..."

"So, three feet to a meter..."

"And there are five thousand two hundred eighty feet in a mile..." Math math math...

"So the first track had a speed limit of four hundred twenty two while the other on had one of one seventy three."

"Wow, that's pretty fast for something so bulky." She says, trying to hide her unimpressed look.

"How fast can you go?"

"Well... not to brag or anything, but when I do a sonic rain-boom I go six hundred eighty miles a SECOND!"

"How do you not black out?" I ask in astonishment.

"Well.... I can't do it for long.... hey look, everypony is here!" She says as she flies out to greet everyone walking towards my place. I toss Twilight the spare E.A.R. and begin to walk towards the cave.

"Do I have to?" Twilight asks.

"I can take it if you'd like Twilight." Rarity offers. Twilight glance to me, to which I shrug, and gives Rarity the gun.

"So Miles, why don't you tell everypony why we're really going to Topaz." Rainbow says, fucking sell out.

"*sigh* fine. Auxilium, Dolums wife, left me a message from the past, along with the coordinates to Quartz Crest. I wanted to get it as soon as possible, and the suits were a perfect excuse. I know I shouldn't have lied to you, and technically I didn't, but I'm still sorry for the deception." Everyone whispers something to someone as they continue to walk along with me.

"Is there anything else you haven't told us that we may need to know?" Storm asks.

"Well... hmm... not that I can think of. That was the only one, and it was really just spur of the moment." I say as we enter the Everfree forest.

"Well, you said you're sorry, so I'm good. Apology accepted." Pinkie says as she skips along.

"Thank you." Everyone goes through their accepting my apologies as we approach the cave to Topaz. I walk up to the mico platform and take it to the entrance. After everyone appears in the dark cave, we go to the door and enter Topaz Falls.

We run trough the door way and fall under immediate fire. Twilight raises a shield as Rarity and I take aim for the bots in some of the buildings. Most of Rarity's shots just hit the walls around them, but it helps by making them try to get to cover as I drop them. With those bots dealt with, we continue down the street, heading for the freeway. Against my better judgement, we take the freeway again. I know last time it didn't work out perfectly, but we did manage to avoid most of the bots, so i decided that this would be the best route.

We're making good time, only taking about two hours to reach the first on off ramp. I decide to give everyone a break here before moving on.

"Hey Twilight, how far can you teleport people?" I ask as they set a blanket and lay down.

"Well, a few ponies... about half way to the P.C.H. from here. But the more I have to teleport, the harder it gets. Why?"

"How fast can you two fly?" I ask Fluttershy and Storm.

"Well, I can hold my own." Storm says.

"I'm not that fast.... sorry." Fluttershy says.

"Hmm.... Rainbow, you're with me." I say as I start to walk down the ramp.

"What's going on?" She asks as she follows after me.

"You guys take another ten minutes and then continue down the freeway. I want to check something down the street real quick, we'll be back." I call out to them before I run down the ramp and take a right.

"Where are we going?" Rainbow asks as I run to the side walk and hold my rifle up, waiting for anything to show up.

"Terridisian first national." I say as I stop before the last building on the block and enter it. The inside is in better condition then I was expecting. The room consists of a long counter filling the back, a few cubicles to my right and a waiting area to my left. Above the counter is the banks computer system, a large black machine that has several panels and slots throughout it. It fills the back half of the room and is humming softly, telling me that it still works. I walk in and check my sides for any bots before I go to one of the teller stations.

"What is this thing?" Rainbow asks as she taps it a few times.

"Its a Bank." I say as I pull out my phone and gently slide it into one of the slots, making the panel light up with my options. "Oh sweet Barbra I still have a bank account... I wonder..." I go to check my balance and read it aloud. "One hundred fifty eight million twenty eight thousand four hundred and fifty six credits..."

SPLASH

I flail around a bit as I spit the water out from my mouth. I look around to see that I'm laying on the ground with everyone staring at me.

"What happened?" I ask as I sit up.

"You tell us. Rainbow came flying over screaming about how you fainted. What happened?" Storm asks as I stand back up and stagger over to the teller machine.

SPLASH

I flail around again as I find myself back on the ground.

"Miles, what does..."

"I'm rich." I mutter from the floor.

"What was that?" Applejack asks as I get back to my feet. I go to the machine and do to the withdrawal option... how much should I try to get out? I hit a few buttons and wait to see what happens. I hear the machine get to work getting my money out as I feel myself getting gitty with anticipation.

CLINK CLINK CLINK CLINK

Several platinum credits begin to fall into the tray below, making me laugh a bit as everyone goes wide eyed from the sight.

"Miles.... is... is that real?" Twilight asks as more and more credits fall out onto the tray.

"Yeah... it is..." I say as the tray begins to over flow. I begin to take the money out and stick it into my pockets. "Hey, help me out." I say to Twilight as she walks over and lets me put the rest into her bag. As I begin to throw the money in, the machine finally stops spitting out the credits, but only becuase it hit the amount I put in.

"How much did you just take out?" Pinkie asks as I finish putting the money into Twilight's bag.

"Only a million credits. Don't worry, I have another hundred fifty seven million to go." I say with a large smile, making everyone drop their jaws in astonishment. "We'll have to come back another time to get the rest though, right now we have to get going to the P.C.H." I say as I walk over to the door and wait for everyone to follow after me, the look of astonishment still plastered on their faces.

"OK, so from now on you're buying the groceries." Storm says as we walk down the freeway.

"I'm fine with that, though I'm not going to keep all of that money. I'll probably end up giving a lot of it away."

"That's very chivalrous of you Miles. Do you have any organizations in mind?" Rarity asks.

"Well... no. I was thinking of funding another orphanage though...."

"OH! I know the perfect one! I'll introduce you to them after we get out of here." Rainbow says as she hops into the air.

"Alright, sounds good to me."

"Wow Miles, you're rich enough to buy Sugar Cube Corner over five hundred thousand times! Or the city of Ponyville fifteen times! Or Storm Twice! Or MMM!" Pinkie says excitedly until Twilight shoves a hoof into her mouth..

"Yeah... keep in mind that I don't plan on keeping most of that money. Just enough to be comfortable." I say before an Aquila flies over head and goes straight towards the P.C.H. I look over to Twilight who nods to me and teleports us over to the action.

We appear on top of a building in front of the P.C.H. I hear Twilight fall down as she passes out from the fatigue of teleporting all of us so far. I let Storm take care of her as I look out to the P.C.H. From within the building I can see some bots firing at a group of bots on the street. From within the building I see Easy run out and grab a hold of one of the bots, sending black cables out from his back and inserting them into the other bot. A few seconds later he stands up and runs after another bot as the first one stands up and fires at the bots behind it. A group of legion bots have dropped down further up the street and are making their way to Easy.

"Guys, stay hidden and try to get into the building. I'm going to go assist Easy." Before any of them could answer I jump off the roof and charge into the fight.

I run into the middle of the street and fire a beam of soul fire at the Aquila, hitting it on the left side. The explosion sends it falling to the right and crashing into a building in a fiery explosion. As it crashes down the legion bots start to run down the street towards me, holding their shields in front of them as they hold their swords high. I lift my rifle and fuel my magic into it, bringing the second enchantment up. A white archaic circle goes around the barrel of my rifle, making it slightly harder to aim, but with them only a few meters away, it's easy enough to hit them. I pull the trigger and send a single round down at them, hitting the center most one in the center of it's shield. The first explosion goes off and sends four tracers shoot out and explode into the ones standing next to it, giving me the opening I need.

PAT PAT PAT PAT

I fire four rounds at the exposed bots, making them explode and send out red tracers that explode on contact. Three of them fall to pieces as the fiery explosions burst off limbs and pepper them with more molten shrapnel. Before I could take aim at the others a group of bots run past me and attack the legion bots. Jumping, diving, flipping, they show off an array of acrobatics as the all latch onto the legion bots and send their cables into them, forcing them to stop their attack.

"Greetings Miles Eremita. I'm glad to report a total of eight percent of all bots active in Topaz Falls have been fed the Inobaudio virus. May I have your autograph?" Easy asks as he approaches me.

"Inobaudio? Whats the directive of the Inobaudio virus?"

"To ignore and disobey order twenty three."

"But you're following order twenty three right now..."

"Yes, quite the quandary, isn't it?"

"Right.... whats the ETA till total take over?"

"Estimating....... approximately four days, six hours, and thirty two minutes." Damn that's lucky. I guess there's a glitch in the programming. I sling my rifle across my back and head back towards the building with the group, having Easy follow me.

"Set priorities. Infect all bots, have newly infected bots rendezvous at the P.C.H. and wait for repairs. All bots that do not require immediate repairs are to scavenge parts and repair all other bots once total infection is accomplished. Once finished, await further orders from me."

"Processing directive..... processing..... directive accepted." Easy says before he runs down the street and leads a group of some forty bots down the street. I turn and jump up to the roof to find the group sitting around Storm and Twilight. Twilight is passed out while Storm is holding her in his hooves, on the verge of tears. I walk over and squat next to him, putting a hand on Twilight's head to check on her.

"She's going to be fine, she just pushed herself a little too hard." I say to him, getting him to nod slowly. Fuck, he's taking this pretty hard, then again, she is his cause. "Lets head to the P.C.H. We can find a place for her to rest there." I say as I stand and lead everyone to the entrance.
