Dash, Twi, and Pinks watched from the car as the tank rolled by, followed by the three red Macks, and then the final tank. The cyan mare quickly reached down and grabbed a small walkie-talkie device that was wired to the lower part of the dashboard.

She then pushed a button on the side to talk. "Are you guys seeing this?" she asked.

"Wait, there's a radio in here?" asked Twilight.

"There is now," Dash explained quickly. "The mechanics put it in before this job."

"Yeah, what should we do?" asked a voice on the radio.

"I'll give Luna a call and put it on speaker..." she said, pulling out her cell phone and speed dialing Luna.

"What is it?" came Luna's voice as faint moans could be heard in the background.

"Permission to put you on speaker, ma'am?" asked Dash, as Twi blushed at the moaning.

"Permission granted, Dash," said Luna as Dash did so. "Now what is it?" she asked as Dash held the button on her radio.

"The plan's changed. The Fallen have tanks," Dash explained.

"Tanks?" asked Luna, as the moaning stopped.

"L... Luna..." came a soft, timid voice on the other side. It was too soft to be picked up on the radio but loud enough for Dash, Twi, and Pinks to hear. "S-So close..."

"Shh shh shh... Hold on, Shy," said Luna gently. "Did you say tanks?" she asked as the moaning picked up again.

"Yeah," said Dash, smirking slightly. "Should we pull out?"

There was a pause before Luna spoke again. "Do you think you can pull it off?"

Dash hesitated, eying Twilight and then Pinks before looking out the window again. "We need this money, right?" she asked. "I say we go for it."

"Oh, you always were ready for a fight..." said Luna. "Very well. But, be careful."

Dash grinned. "That's no fun," she said with a chuckle, hanging up her phone. "All right, guys and gals... You heard. Let's get this money and go home!"

They then saw a bunch of their own cars pass by as Dash spoke again. "Be careful of those tanks. Hold back, draw their fire... I have an idea..."

She then put the radio away and put the car in drive.

"An idea?" asked Twilight, sounding nervous. "Why does that frighten me?"

Dash grinned. "Hold on, Twi..." she said, slamming on the gas and taking off.

She zipped passed the highway and down a side road.

"Where are you going?!" yelled Twilight, looking over her shoulder. "Bridge is that way!"

"Don't worry, Twilight," said Pinks. "She knows what she's doing... I think..."

"Thanks for the support, Pinkie," said Dash as she swerved passed a couple cars.

"Where we headed?" the purple mare asked, getting more and more nervous the further they got from the highway.

"You'll see..." said Dash.

The Elementals' cars entered the highway and slowly approached the armed caravan of tanks. An orange mare leaned out of the passenger window of one of the cars, holding the car radio. She was wearing a white daisy-duke, which covered her D-cups, and a red skirt. She had her yellow mane done up in a ponytail, tied by a red hairband.

"Careful, ya'll!" she called into the radio. "We're approachin' the tanks! Hang back until Rainbow Dash arrives!"

"Hey, AJ?" asked the black colt in the driver's seat. He wore a purple shirt with a black leather jacket along with jeans.

AJ ducked back in the car and looked at him. "Yeah?"

"Think Dash can pull it off?" he asked, sounding unsure about the whole plan.

AJ let out a chuckle. "If you've known Dash as long as I have... yeh'd know that she can do anythin'..."

"I hope your right..."

A colt driver in one of the Fallen's cars looked in the side mirror.

"Huh?" he asked. He was a brown colt wearing a red vest and red cargo pants. He had a long, black mane with red highlights. "Uh... ma'am?" he asked. "We got an issue..."

In the back was a blue mare laying on her back, wearing a blue tube top, which covered her round B-cups, and short shorts. She also had on a blue and purple cape with silver stars, and a magician's hat with the same design over her face.

She let out a groan and tilted the hat up slightly with a finger. "What is it?"

"We may have unwanted guests... Can't tell which gang..."

The mare sat up and set her hat on the seat as she rolled down the back window. She then stuck her head out as her silver hair flapped in the wind.

"Hmm..." the mare thought aloud. "Judging by the purple... It looks like those damn Elementals..." she growled.

"What should we do?" asked the colt, eyeing her in the rear view mirror.

The mare reached into the front and grabbed the radio, holding the talk button. "Attention all tanks! SHOOT ANYTHING PURPLE!!!"

"Um... Applejack?" asked the colt, sounding frightened.

"Eh?" she asked, eyeing him.

"I-I think they're onto us... Look..." he said, pointing with a shaky finger.

AJ did so and gasped, seeing a tank pointing its turret in their direction. "Come on, Dash... Hurry up..."
