It was late at night just after Daring was attacked by Ahuizotl. Ryder sat at the foot of the bed wearing sweat pants and a tank top. He had his phone in hand sending texts to Princess Luna without waking Daring up.

'Luna I cant believe that happened to her... It honestly scared the shit out of me... Hearing Ahizotl's voice through comms then having to hear it get smashed... The loud sound of my marefriend's ear piece getting smashed... I almost thought it was a gunshot...' Ryder's first text said.

Luna replied: 'Be lucky it wasn't... I had a bit of a bad feeling in my gut about today but I couldn't put it on what was... I didn't even realize it was about you until Cadence called. Oh and By the way Scootaloo might have a few new items due to a little error of Shining's big mouth.'

Ryder typed 'new toys and a new scooter?' before sending it off. He sighed looking back at Daring. She slept peacefully. Or at least what he thought was peacefully. She was dreaming of roaming a stone maze armed only with a flash light and a silenced pistol. Looked to be  an M1911. It was quiet. She turned each corner keeping her gun at the ready just incase. Suddenly she came to a dead end and sighed turning back around. She yelled a bit coming face to face with Ahuizotl again. He quickly took her gun and aimed it at her. "Gotcha bitch!" He said. He pulled the trigger and Daring woke up screaming a bit.

Daring panted sitting up in bed. She saw Ryder looking back at her and blushed hard feeling the bed under her grow warm and wet with a slight hissing and pitter patter sound. Ryder sighed and got up putting his phone in his pocket before helping Daring out of the bed. She sobbed lightly hugging her coltfriend. All she wore was her panties and bra. Her panties were just soaked. "...N-no.... Why now...?" She asked herself through her tears.

Ryder shushed her. "....It's alright baby... Now I guess we both pissed ourselves from a fucking nightmare..." He said. "...Find one of my shirts and cover yourself up.... I gotta find Wolf... Should be around here somewhere...." Daring nodded and stood up slipping out of her panties before digging through Ryder's bags as he stepped out. He came into a dimly lit office looking area completely void of anyone. Well... Almost... "Wolf?" Ryder's voice rang out in the empty room. He walked through out the office, his bare feet hitting the linoleum. "C'mon out Wolf. I know you're here! You always email me during this time! You haven't slept well for a few weeks! Just come out, we need to talk NOW!"

The sound of boots came from a hallway. Ryder looked to his side and saw Wolf, looking a bit pissed, in a black tank top and his pants from the raid earlier. "What do you need?" He asked approaching Ryder. Ryder readied himself. "Don't worry I'm not gonna hit you!" Suddenly his friend gave him a punch to his face and then the gut. He straightened himself out spitting off to the side. "...I admit I deserved that... Now what do you want!?"

Ryder sighed and leaned against the wall. "Fresh sheets, a shower and a quiet mouth." He said. "It being your room, you're clean up crew. Just point us in the direction of the nearest shower. We'll handle what we can. Alright?" Wolf sighed and nodded. "Remember if I hear ANYTHING from the fucking troops about what you're about to see and you and me go mono y mono. Got it?" Wolf nodded again and followed Ryder back into the room where Daring sat in the corner sobbing softly wearing one of Ryder's Tshirts. Just a plain black V-neck. She had her ass covered as she hugged her knees. Ryder went over and knelt down next to her while Wolf started stripping the sheets from the wet bed. "...Daring? C'mon baby lets get you cleaned up."

Daring looked up and took Ryder's hand. Wolf looked back at them as he piled his sheets next to him. "Shower's just a building over to the right when you get out the door." He said. "You're actually lucky. Tonight was laundry night and guess who's fucking stuck with it...."

Ryder didn't answer as he left the door with Daring in his arms.  She held onto him like a kid. Arms wrapped around his neck as he carried her as if she were sitting in a chair. He shushed her as she still cried. "...I-i'm a grown mare.... I shouldn't b-be doing that...." Daring said sniffling.

Ryder stroked her mane. "...It's okay everyone does that at one time or another..." He replied. "...That one back in my room... I can even say that wasn't my first one in my time as a guard..." Daring wiped tears from her eyes looking up at her colt friend. He nodded even without her saying a thing. "...First time as a guard I had to go on patrol but I needed to look busy. Got nearly every call. One day I had a busy day. Dispatch had me on everything from robberies to domestic disputes. It's like no one else was getting calls. One call was about a mare running naked in the streets and it's pretty much against protocol for a stallion to grab her because she could say I raped her. That day I... I actually had gotten fed up and called in on a lunch break. Drank about three ciders, two waters, six sodas and a coffee. I kept on my work and the last call did it... About half way to the call it just... Came out. Called in to let others take care of it. Nearly got a rash as I pulled into a back alley in Canterlot to call up Shining so he could bring me a towel and a fresh pair..." Tears came to his face as he blushed hard.

Daring sniffled and hugged him again. "...It's all behind you now... " She said. "...We cant change the past but... Certainly we can change our future... One of us could wind up with money while the other loses it all... You could wind up going home to your sister with me but you might not have any good place to live whilst I'm stuck alone in my house alone and waiting to be raided and shot..."

Ryder sniffled a bit. "...Well... Maybe with what ever take I get from this.... assuming I get a cut of what ever treasure we get- if any-... I could buy a home in Ponyville big enough for both of us to live in... Assuming you'd... Want to move out..."

Daring looked up at him and wiped away his tears as they came outside. "I'll think about that one... But... We still have that Metallicolt concert and I cant certainly go alone! Who would I take since you aren't going? I certainly cant take Princess Twilight. Too much of a security risk there right?" Ryder nodded. She looked to the sky as Ryder slowly walked to the next building over. Stars glistened in the night sky. The moon was glowing bright. The cool air and slight breeze made everything more relaxing. "...It's a beautiful night..... Perhaps we could get a drink and enjoy the night before going back to bed..."

Ryder stopped at the door and looked to the sky. "...Why not?" He said. "A few beers, a folding chair for us to share and we're good." He looked to Daring. "What can I say? You look better without pants." He grinned and blushed as well as Daring.

The mare in his arms laughed a bit. "Maybe some other time. I'd prefer if I had at least some clean underwear on..." She said. "But don't worry... Maybe we can shower together?"

Ryder grinned and nodded opening the door. Inside was totally empty. Shower stalls lined the walls of the building. "...I feel lucky I get my own bathroom..." He said looking around. "...Celestia knows what i'd do if I went into the guards showers back home... At least these ones have cover..."

Daring lightly hit him on the chest. "Oh please you fucked a prince in a sauna!" She said. "Now uh... Put me down and look for some towels. I don't wanna have to walk back into that room still wet... And that cold will just make us BOTH sicker than a dog!" Ryder nodded and set his marefriend next to a stall pulling up the shirt covering her. Daring gave a bit of a scream and shoved the shirt back down laughing. "You dirty boy! Not until you find those towels. I catch you peeking and you get on the other side of the shower!" Ryder nodded and went into another room. Daring stepped into a stall and started undressing. She hung Ryder's shirt and her bra on the door and kept track of where Ryder was. She yawned not even a few minutes after being brought in. "...Ryder... Hurry up I'm gonna pass out again!"

Ryder came from the back with just a towel in his hand. "Don't worry." He said. "You'll be able to go back to bed. Just take a quick rinse and dry off. This towel was all I could find. Laundry day remember?"

Daring nodded and sighed turning the shower on. "... Todays excitement got me really worn out..." She said. "...Just seeing... HIM behind me... He could've shot me... He TRIED to shoot me as I was flying away... I was glad he had never handled a gun in his life... Just sat back while his lackeys did the work..."

Ryder leaned on the stall next to Daring's so he wouldn't get splashed by the water. "...Book two... Daring Do and the Serpents Staff.... Ahuizotl only handled the staff once... The one who used it turned to ashes...  You probably have that sitting in your study right now..."

His marefriend looked back at him. "Are you kidding that thing was dangerous!" She said. "That's in a shatter proof case inside my den. Same with those Lions Jeweled Eyes from book 5. Those things touched and burned holes in the stallions that held them. Cauterized the wound. Got infected and they both died. You wanna guess book 4's death or no?"

Ryder rolled his eyes. "A battalion died disabling traps for Ahuizotl for some statue that broke right?" He asked. Daring nodded. "Well he isn't getting this treasure. This ones OURS! Even if it does mean I have to ruin a great book series by slaughtering the motherfucker with my fucking hands!" Daring looked at him scared. "...Not cool?"

Daring nodded. "...A bit too brutal but... I'm running low on treasures..." She said. "...This could be my last adventure with my own death and my last book being my last book or a new series with this being the starting book and you being my new partner... Or the last book with my enemy dead and me starting on my new life... Two of three I might be okay with... The one I'm not okay with is having a bullet through my skull leaving my boyfriend alone and in the crosshairs of another sniper... If you cant handle anything thrown at us and just go insane pumping him with lead and or punching the shit out of him I wont mind... As long as I don't get any blood splashed on me I'm fine with that..."

"And ending the greatest book series? Are you crazy?" Ryder asked. "I'd rather die myself than let that happen!" He peeked into the stall now staring at his marefriends naked body and started to get hard.

Daring took a nearby body wash bottle and started to scrub herself down. "Well if you did that you'd leave me to die and your sister alone at the castle in Ponyville!" She said not knowing he was jacking off at the sight of her. "Sorry i'm doing this but I've been sweating like a pig all day and I smell like shit..."

Behind the stall wall Ryder was having the time of his life ogling his marefriend as she scrubbed the bodywash into her breasts. "Take all the time you need there..." He said. "...Maybe you should get your flank as well... I wanna see that cutie mark's original colors!"

Daring grinned a bit facing away from him. "Well alright now... but why don't you get undressed and get in here pervert!" She said. Ryder's heart dropped and he blushed hard. She laughed and turned around looking at him. She leaned on the stall and looked over seeing his cock, dripping with precum, in hand. "Anyone who'd want to see my ass that bad would have to be jacking it when i'm not looking! So drop em, step in and I'll let you in." Ryder nodded and went and dropped his pants and taking his undershirt off. She looked down at his pants and his shirt in a pile. "Oh damn... You aren't wearing those manties!" She backed away just as he opened the door.

Ryder sighed. "Those are in my bags... Besides... They'd've held me just right to just lose it..." He said closing the door behind him. "Probably would've gotten a wedgie from this thing..." He gripped his cock again.

Daring turned around and leaned on the side wall. "Well don't just stand there! Do something!" She said. Ryder hesitantly stepped in to the shower and started to tease her ass a bit. "Oh come on you aren't worried I'll pass out again and hit my head again are you?" Ryder nodded hesitantly and averted his gaze. "Stop being such a big baby and fuck me! We've tried multiple times and everything failed! One of us faints, something stupid kills the mood or we just don't get to it. Closest we got was just a blow job and that nearly failed!"

Ryder tilted his head. "'Almost failed?'" He said. "What do you mean it almost failed?! And the closest we got was me getting pegged by my exmarefriend!" They both looked at each other. He immediately averted his gaze and went to the other side of the stall. "...Forget I said anything and did anything... Just... Dry off and go back to bed... I'll air dry my ass and I'll sleep on the fucking floor..."

Daring shut the water off and went to the other side hugging him from behind. "Look I'm sorry okay?" She said. "I didn't mean to snap at you... Ahuizotl is just... He scares the shit out of me, once quite literally! It was a book I didn't document because well... Something wasn't working right with my body... He tied me up, pulled a spider from his pocket and just.... He laughed as I just shat myself... Had to escape, go commando after cleaning myself off and I grabbed the treasure and ran."

Ryder sniffled tearing up a bit. "...It's not you snapping..." He said. "...I'm just afraid I'll hurt you in someway... You're my idol... I didn't want you mad at me... I didn't want you hurt... I... I didn't even wanna get you pregnant even with that being part of my sick mind... I just... I'm just another fan who just pussies out when I'm in the presence of their idol..." He started to sob softly.

She shushed him and kissed his cheek. "...Ryder come now... You had the jewels to say you would do this with me..." She said. "Not as a fan but as a guard who just got lucky by me saying yes and letting you get my love. Can you just stop crying for me please?" Ryder nodded a bit wiping his eyes. "Good... Now how about this? I'll dry myself off and get into bed naked. If I fall asleep and you get aroused again you have my permission to do whatever you want with me excluding a seeding in my fertile land. Does that sound good?" Ryder nodded again giving a blushing smile. "Well you get out there and start drying off. I'll be where I need to be."

Not even an hour later they were both passed out. Both naked in the bed with just a fresh pair of sheets and a standing heater. Daring lied on her side while Ryder tossed and turned a bit. He woke up panting. Nothing but darkness around him and a stiffness between his legs. "...Dammit.... I... I need this...." He said repositioning. He felt Daring up with one hand gripping his cock with the other. He felt her asshole and started to tease it with his cock. Daring moaned a little bit. He slowly pushed in and started to thrust. "...Mmhh... Thank you Daring..." He gave a little moan groping what he could of the tired mare. He had enough room to grope her pussy and finger it a bit. She moaned a bit and shifted to where she rolled on her back. He leaned forward thrusting deeper as he grabbed her tits making her moan more. He started to thrust a bit faster kissing his sleepy marefriend.

Suddenly Daring woke up feeling his kiss and his cock. She didn't move or make a sound other than moaning but she just immediately fell into bliss. '...Oh yeah... That's the stuff Ry... Give me your treasure....' She thought to herself. She wanted to play with herself but Ryder was just going at it just right. He moaned loud as he thrusted a bit harder feeling his limit come close.  He came hard shooting a hefty load  grunting so he wouldn't wake anyone in the area up. Daring twitched feeling his warm cum pour into her ass. "OH RYDER!" She said loudly. Ryder yelped and pulled his cock going back to his side of the bed. Daring reached over and flipped on a light where she saw her boyfriend lying down facing away from her shaking scared. "Ryder don't you wanna cuddle with me now that you took my advice from the showers? I told you you'd do that without any consequence from me! Come now Ry spoon with me... Please" She rolled him over and saw him looking a bit scared.  She shushed him and got into position before turning the light off.

The next morning Ryder was dressed in a pair of jeans and high tops. He wore a black button up shirt over a red tshirt. Daring wore a white Metallicolt Tshirt and some jungle camouflage pants with a pair of skate shoes. "....Gotta look like tourists somehow..." Ryder said as they climbed into an old jeep from the wars. He looked to Daring as he started the engine. "You holding up alright baby? I didn't fuck you too hard did I?"

Daring giggled a bit. "Nah... You were fine baby." She said. "You still alright? Not too tired?" He shook his head. "Well that's good. I feel like I should have diapers after that nightmare... It just... It scared the piss out of me literally... If it happens again if i'm napping or just still awake... E-everyone will know A.K. Yearling is a bed and pants wetting embarrassment... Soon enough just a big baby wearing diapers with her so called 'caretaker' known as General Ryder of the Equestrian guard..." Tears came to her eyes as they started to pull away from the building they had slept inside.

Ryder glanced at her blushing face and slung an arm around her shoulder. "Don't worry Daring... It wont come to that." He said. "If you do have an accident... I'll just say I spilled a drink on you. Besides I don't think anyone would notice you in a diaper I don't think..." He blushed a bit as he turned the wheel towards a few hangars.

Daring sniffled and looked over at him. "...A-are you sure you're okay...?" She asked. "And... How do you know if anyone wouldn't noticed?"

Ryder blushed embarrassed and made a b-line going across the runway towards communication buildings. Daring saw tears grow in his eyes. She wanted to say something but he looked as if he could just rip steel plating in half. She sat there and just looked away at part of the city at the end of the runway. Soon that view was interrupted by a building wall. Ryder put his arm up and slammed on the brakes. Daring leaned against his arm as she jerked forward. "...You wanna know how the fuck I know that....?" He asked sounding like he was just about to lose it. Daring looked to him hesitantly. "...If I tell you... Promise me this wont go with anyone else but you, me and Big MacIntosh...." Daring gave him a weird look. "...I-itll make sense if I just tell you..." He averted his gaze. "...I was about ten years old and I had a lot of accidents... One day... My mom saw me pee my pants in the hallway just steps from the bathroom... She got worried while my dad smacked my ass up and down the hallway and rubbing my nose in it like a fucking dog... My mom stopped him and took my in my room to change my pants... We left my dad at home and she took me to the store where she bought me diapers... I had to wear them to school, to bed and even out in public with a few spares in a backpack I had to carry... One day I wet myself at recess... My mother told me to go to the nurses office to get changed but some bullies stopped me thinking I was going back to get my lunch... They pushed me and the nappy I wore just... It showed and they laughed at me causing me to run away and hide in the bushes where the principal found me and called my mother to take me home... From that day on I just... I just couldn't take being bullied... Sure e-everything was fixed but.... I had to fight which caused me to get suspended..... And... How Big Mac knew was... He... He was one of my bullies... He only became my friend when I helped his sister out of a bully situation... He actually told me he never told anyone about the diaper and wouldn't ever...."

He broke down crying and Daring hugged him. She was kind of shocked. Not because of what happened but that her protector was pissing himself at ten years old, many years after he should be fully potty trained but... She didn't want to laugh but she just felt the need to cry with him. But she just couldn't give any tears for him. "...Well... I-i'm sorry that happened..." She said. "...You... You want me to drive? I could get us a stall at the range so we can fire off some rounds at a target or two. Maybe I could give a challenge for you and me? You up for it?" Ryder sniffled and hesitantly nodded. "Alright c'mon switch with me and hold on tight. I'll get us there fast okay?"

Ryder sniffled and nodded before getting out of the jeep and walking around the front hugging himself. He hopped in the passengers seat and held on to what he could inside the jeep. It had no doors or roof but it did have a bit of a windshield. He gripped that and where the door should've been. Daring quickly put it into gear and slammed on the gas pedal making the wheels screech sending them going out of the alley backwards. She whipped it around putting it into drive. She peeled out going right back across the runway just as a plane touched down forcing them to turn and drive away from the plane knowing Daring couldn't beat it going across. The plane pulled to the right taxiing over to a hangar. Daring turned the wheel almost causing Ryder to fall out. He kept himself from rolling out but he did get a good look at the ground before holding himself in his seat. Soon they came to a screeching halt in front of the armory door. Ryder had stopped crying but he looked freaked out. "...That... That was something out of a fucking video game...." He said as he released his grip shaking a bit.

Daring laughed a bit hopping out. "I'd say so but.... I seriously didn't see that plane coming..." She said. "...I thought we were fucked there but... Told you I can get us here fast so just in case we need to get out of a jam real quick."

Ryder hugged her. "...Hopefully my own adrenaline keeps me from looking at the ground next time..." He said. "Now uh... I'll get the weapons for us... Any weapon you'd want?"

Daring broke the hug and grabbed his crotch. "I'd love this forty-five again." She said blushing.

Ryder blushed and laughed as well. "A revolver then... Good choice but... My forty-five stays in my pants till later!" He said. "Maybe if we find a quiet place in town we can do some dirty dancin'!"

Daring blushed and kissed his cheek before they went into the armory. Not long later Daring was loading a revolver wearing ear defenders and range glasses. The range was completely empty excluding a guard working the weapon distribution. Daring watched as Ryder came over with an AA-12 automatic shotgun with a drum mag. He cocked it and aimed it down range at a few wooden targets. He pumped a few rounds out at the targets. Daring aimed her revolver down range at some paper targets hanging on strings. She only shot three rounds of the eight round revolving chamber. Bulls eye on three targets. "That's what I'm talking about!" She said. She looked over at Ryder who was just laying into the targets emptying his clip. "How you feeling over there?"

Ryder sighed popping the empty clip. "Feeling better!" He said. "Now what did you want for the challenge mentioned earlier?"

Daring smiled emptying the bullets and casings into her hand. She discarded the casings and set four bullets on the counter separating the targets from the shooters. "We are going to take Ruskie Roulette to a new level." She said. "We aren't shooting ourselves though. I'm not THAT stupid. We are going to use a one target thing. Each bullet fired is a point for who ever fired it. Doesn't matter where it hits as long as it's fired from the revolver. Rules understood?"

Ryder nodded as she put a bullet in the chamber and pulled back the hammer locking it in place before spinning the revolving chambers around. "Ladies first!" He said coming to her side. Daring smiled bright and aimed it down range. She pulled the trigger. Nothing but a click. Ryder laughed a bit as Daring handed the revolver off switching sides with him. He took a few deep breaths and aimed it down range. "...Before I fire this thing off any prize for the winner?"

Daring hummed in thought. She still watched Ryder closely to make sure he wasn't cheating by looking into the chambers. "Winner gets.... Winner gets sex when ever they want!" She said. "So that means at any time- excluding traps set by Ahuizotl and gunfights- either of us, if we had won, can have sex anywhere and anytime they like."

Ryder smiled and pulled the trigger firing off the round that was in the gun. He laughed a bit. "WELL! Seems I'm one step closer to fucking you on a desk in the office!" He said emptying the casing from the gun. He loaded in another bullet and popped the chamber into place before spinning it and cocking it. He handed it to Daring. "Neeeext!"

Daring smiled and took the gun. She didn't even break her gaze from Ryder's as she fired a shot. "And I say we fuck right in the middle of the tarmac." She said sounding smug. She cleared the chamber and put another bullet in. "Someone should really have watched their mouth when they accepted this bet! Anyways..." She flicked her wrist and popped the revolving thing back in. Don't judge me I have no clue what it's called. "...You're up."

Ryder took the gun and held it one handed as he pulled the trigger. Nothing. His heart dropped as Daring took the gun and fired the bullet. "FUCK!" He yelled. "That isn't fair!"

Daring laughed a bit loading another bullet into the gun. "It is fair! The gun has eight chambers, I set the bullet in one and I got lucky enough to hit the filled chamber. She spun the chambers before clicking it into place. "Now why don't you pull the trigger and let your magnum do the talking later!"

Ryder took the gun and aimed it down range firing the shot. He didn't bother emptying the casings. Just stuffed the bullet in and spun the chambers. "Well... All down to this..." He said chuckling a bit. "One bullet... And so many places to fuck... Maybe I could get a few condoms and get your sweet spot in a public spot. May even buy you a cute outfit so I could drill you upskirt!"

Daring smiled and aimed it down range pulling the trigger. Click. Ryder grabbed the gun and aimed it down range. Click! Same with the next four trigger pulls. Click. ...Five trigger pulls. "Dammit!" Daring said. "There is no way we didn't hit that fucking bullet! Seven fucking chambers and NOTHING!" Ryder huffed and grabbed the gun. But at the wrong angle and time. When he pulled it the gun went off pointing at his leg causing him to cry out in pan and fall to the floor. "RYDER!" Daring knelt down next to Ryder as the smoking gun dropped to the floor.

The guard came out with a radio in hand. "I need a medic at the armory FAST!" He said. "We have accidental discharge! I repeat accidental discharge!" He ran over to Ryder and saw a big patch of blood form on his pants. He pushed Daring away and starting tearing the pants off of him. The bullet went diagonally into his thigh stopping it short of going all the way through somehow. "Entry wound four millimeters... No exit wound.... Must be a metal replacement for a bone there..." He raised the radio up to his mouth. "Where's that medic?! Equestrian General is down! I repeat! Equestrian General is DOWN!"

Daring sobbed a bit kneeling down near Ryder's face. "...R-ryder I... I'm so sorry!" She said through tears starting to pour from her eyes.

Ryder grunted and looked up at her panting. "...I-i'm fine.... Really!" He said. "... Here... Grab my phone, call Celestia right away.... See if she can send something over fast... I need to be fully able to protect you.... I cant do anything like this... Y- you do know what I mean when I mean see if she can send s-something quick right...?"

Daring nodded and reached into his pocket. He grunted in pain a bit but she managed to pull out the phone, unharmed by the gunshot thank goodness. She hurried out just as a few guards with medical bags hurried in. She fumbled with the phone and hurried with Celestia's contact. She took a few deep breaths and put the phone up to her ear as she started the call. It buzzed in her ear a bit but went to voice mail. She didn't even wait for the message before hanging up and going back to the contacts. "FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK I AM SO FUCKING DEAD!" She said panicking. She tapped on Princess Luna's contact. This time it buzzed a few times before it clicked.

"....Mnnh... Hello? Ryder...? Why are you calling me at this time of day....?" Luna said sounding really tired.

Daring sniffled. "...P-princess..." She said. "...Yearling here.... I... Ryder got shot and.... I'm just shitting my pants scared.... I-I didn't mean it... It was an accident I swear..."

Luna yawned a bit before a rustling was heard. "...Calm down Daring!" She said. "Now I want you to take a few deep breaths and tell me what happened."

Daring sighed and took a few shaky but deep breaths. "....R-ryder and I.... We were shooting a revolver in the range for a challenge...." She said. "...Ryder grabbed the gun and... It went off hitting him... It's in his leg at the moment and... I... He wants something so he can protect me... So I don't die under his watch... Th-that pill I took before I left... I need one for Ryder... I need it  NOW please...." She leaned against the wall off the armory.

"Alright Daring listen to me and listen good." Luna said. "Those pills aren't some miracle cure for anything. They do heal injuries but some take time. Your concussion took but a few seconds. Ryder's gunshot wound could take up to a day. Ask for Ryder's friend and give the phone to him once you see him alright?"

Daring sniffled. "...O-okay...." She said. She got up and covered the mic on the phone going back to the door. Just then the two medics carried Ryder out putting him in the jeep. She went to the jeep just as they started it up. "Wait!" The medic's looked to her. "....I need to speak w-with Wolf immediately..."

The medics nodded. Ryder sat up and looked to Daring. "...Wait for me baby...." He said. "...All I need is to get the bullet out of my leg... Then I can just drill the fuck out of you anywhere.... I won after all..."

Daring sighed and watched as the medics drove carefully away with her boyfriend. She put the phone back up to her ear. "...Princess? Are you still there?" She asked.

Muffled sounds were heard. "Yes I'm here I'm here! I just went to find my sister." She said. "Something tells me you tried calling her first and she didn't answer..."

The grey maned mare wiped away her eyes. "...Yeah..." She said. "...She didn't answer.... She was more priority than you were at the moment but... I'm glad I called you... And that you answered.... I could've called Princess Twilight and she could've had Ryder's sister around.... Thing's probably would've been worse... Well... With his sister..."

Luna sighed. "I know what you mean..." She replied. "...That bullet could've ricocheted and killed either one of you causing an orphan to lose everything she ever had and fans losing a beloved author leaving some maniac to find some treasure he could steal giving him entire control of a country. Either that or he just destroys it taking away a piece of history and for knowing if the bloodline of the king is still going or if it has died away. I surely hope that bloodline hasn't died away... Is Wolf there yet? Talking about that kind of stuff reminds me of old friends I lost a long time ago..."

Daring looked up and saw a speeding motorbike coming towards her with wolf on it. Always wearing his military gear. "He's almost here..." She said. "...And by the by... I know how you feel... I've lost friends both move away and dying... A few times they asked to be put out of their misery... Most during a few books. I just said they left doing something at the end of my books..." Wolf's bike slowed down screeching to a stop near Daring. "...One second princess..."

Daring got up with the help of Wolf. "You needed me miss?" He said. Daring nodded. "Alright I'm here. What do ya need?"

Daring handed the phone to him. "...H-here... It's princess Luna..." She said. "...Before you talk... I-it was a total accident... I swear!"

Wolf took the phone in her hand. "It's okay just calm yourself." He said covering the phone mic. Daring nodded and put the phone up to his ear. "Wolf here Princess. Yeah...  Well I didn't see it but I rushed over as fast as I could. Uhuh..." He gasped a bit. "A-are you sure princess? Something like that might give a little side effects such as infertility on someone such as him!" Daring saw him raise an eyebrow. "You're kidding right? You had the doctor who has these made test it on patients? How many came out infertile? Two? Well.. Oh only one... Well I feel sorry for him. Alright. Understood. Yeah he should be out within the hour. My men informed me he had a metal plate in his leg. A that fall he took... Wait that was the armor he wore? Must've been ripped off his ass! Okay okay princess. Yes ma'am I certainly will do that. You sleep well then Princess."

Wolf hung the phone up and handed it back to Daring. "So? What'd she say?" She asked still shaky.

The stallion sighed. "Told me to give him a pill to speed the healing process." He said handing the phone back. "Hop on and let me take you for a drink to calm you down. Don't worry. We wont be going off base for this." Daring nodded putting the phone back in her pocket. Wolf got on the bike and waited till Daring got on before starting the bike up. "Hold on! While your at it tell me what happened here! Just remember no one is going to be in trouble! Accidents are everywhere! Even have a few in that shooting range." He slowly balanced the bike as Daring gripped to him shaking scared.

The grey maned mare took a deep breath. "...O-okay..." She said just as the bike pulled away. "...I was trying to b-blow off some steam after what happened last night and... I combined ruskie roulette with targets down range... I had five bullets left so... I just said... Lets play a game... First one to fire the bullet gets the point and the last one we manged to lose track of where the bullet was and... Before I had time to remove my finger from the trigger he grabbed it and it went off hitting him in the leg... I... I... I'm just lucky the gun wasn't aimed any higher... He could've been dead... I could've been dead..."

About an hour later Daring sat at a desk in the office. Few guards still worked on their computers while Daring drank from a bottle of beer while looking at a computer screen saver with feathers falling  and interacting with a few icons in the middle of the screen then falling off the bottom of the screen. Wolf came along with a bottle of whiskey and a few shot glasses. He set both on the desk and poured a little whiskey into each. "Here... Something stronger than a fuckin' ale..." He said before pulling up another chair. "Got word from the medics. They got the bullet out of Ryder's leg. He should be here in a bit but I'd be careful with him. You're gonna be given an armored pick up truck. Inside the bed will be a few weapons. M60, AK-47, and a few cases of ammunition. You'll be armed to the teeth with you being armed with an M1911 pistol under a jacket each of you will have. Oh and Ryder might be a bit slow with a quote unquote 'broken leg' so you might need to keep track of him while you walk with him. Don't worry if you parked weird or illegally. I've contacted the UFG and told them to be on the look for a red pick up and not to interfere at all with what you're doing UNLESS it's a shoot out. They know not to arrest you and Ryder."

Daring sighed and took one of the shots immediately knocking it back. "Better hope I don't get wasted here and now..." She said setting the glass back down. "If I'm the one driving I need to see straight so I don't kill myself or Ryder... Just... Fuck everyone else... They could be Ahuizotl's men..."

Wolf poured another shot and took it himself. "Well don't aim a gun at any children then." He said. "One young casualty and I'm denying I ever had contact with you guys. So will the UFG!"

The mare looked up at the stallion before her. "...What's the UFG?" She asked.

"The Urban Force Guard." Someone said. Daring and Wolf looked over and they saw Ryder walking with the help of a few crutches.

Daring sprang up and hurried over to Ryder hugging him. "RYDER! I'M SO SORRY PLEASE FORGIVE ME!" She yelled starting to cry again.

Ryder sighed and hugged her. "Hey hey calm down it was my fault baby.... I grabbed the gun too quickly..." He said. "...Maybe we should just tie it... We both had a hand on the gun... I ended up getting the shit end of it..."

His marefriend sniffled and looked up at him. "...N-no... You won fair and square..." She said. "...I should just let you have the win... I fucked up... I... I lost track of the.... The..."

Ryder held her close and shushed her. "Just calm down... I wont take the win at all." He said. "Just come on we gotta get moving on the king's sword." He looked to Wolf. "And I'll only be shooting that M60 and that AK if that pistol runs out of ammo after I blow Ahuizotl's brains over the god damn floor! Getting shot once is enough for me and if he tries to make that an even two he's gonna get fucking plastered all over a fucking city wall..."

Wolf huffed giving him a shot. "Just drink it and go." He said. "You're driving since she had two beers and a shot. A DUI, weapons and ammunition in the bed and an Equestrian guard that doesn't even own the truck is going to look REALLY good plastered all over the fuckin' news. Now go mate get your ass out but don't make it seem like you're in a hurry to be there."

Ryder nodded and hobbled out with Daring behind him. Not long later Ryder was in the drivers seat of the truck. His crutches were in the back seat while Daring lied in the back seat curled up scared. "...I-If you see Ahuizotl... Please drive fast..." Daring said. "... I don't wanna die... Not yet..."

Ryder glanced in the rear view mirror. "C'mon at least sit up!" He snapped. "Now we're going to grab some hayburgers for breakfast... Hopefully one of us can keep em down... You might be able to keep it down if you stop worrying about Ahuizotl. What you should worry about is how we're gonna get that sword. We may have to steal it some way if Ahuizotl gets there."

Daring sat up hesitantly. "But... What if he moves while we're getting hayburgers?" She asked.

Ryder turned out of the gate of the base into the city. "Do you think Ahuizotl will sit around a restauraunt, scaring the shit out of everypony?" He said. "If anything he'd have a safe house somewhere outside the city. He'd have a servant cook him a meal and really who wouldn't go running around  the day with nothing to eat. Not to mention where ever it is it's a ways away from the sword."

Daring shoved her hands between her legs. "....C-can.... Can we at least find a bathroom....? Please...?" She asked. "...Those beers went right through me... And... The fear of Ahuizotl isn't making it any better.... I feel like I'm about to piss my pants again..."

Ryder looked in the mirror back at Daring. She looked desperate to pee. "How about we give you a punishment for shooting me in the leg?" He said. Daring's jaw dropped. Ryder laughed. "You seem like you think I actually forgive you for that 'accident'... The punishment? Wanting you to have an accident!"

Daring looked away out the window blushing. "...N-no I cant... I don't have a change of clothes here.... Besides... Store owners might know me..." She said. She looked back and her heart dropped. There sitting in the front seat was Ahuizotl where Ryder was supposed to be. They weren't driving on a road anymore. They were driving off the edge of a building. Daring clenched her eyes shut screaming but felt shaking.

"DARING! DARING WAKE UP!" A familiar voice yelled. Daring opened her eyes and saw Ryder over her as she was laying down in a bed, her bladder aching. Ryder sighed giving a smile. "...Thank goodness you're awake... You were having a nightmare..."

Daring sat up in the bed and hugged Ryder starting to cry a bit scared. "...I-it was terrible..." She said. "....I-I shot you.... You were injured...." She said. "....C-can you carry me to the bathroom...? I don't wanna move..." Ryder nodded and took Daring in his arms.

Ryder sighed as they walked out into not an office but into connected barracks. "You were afraid of Ahuizotl sensing me weakened and he got to you didn't he?" He asked. Daring nodded as they went into the communal bathroom. "...Well  that's not gonna happen at all. I wont let him get a chance to even TRY. Oh and... I heard talk about an M60 and an AK-47?" Daring gasped a bit before he set her down in front of an open bathroom stall. "Careful don't wet yourself. And yeah you do happen to talk in your sleep. Kinda glad you didn't piss the bed for real either."

Daring went inside and dropped her panties before sitting down. "...I'm glad too..." She said. "...I just don't understand how I didn't... In my dream it started with me wetting the bed but... Somehow that didn't affect me earlier..."

Ryder hummed a bit. "...Well... I don't mean to embarrass you but while I was trying to carry you inside you did have an accident..." He said. "You were out for the whole day... I was actually thinking you were scared into a coma or something..."

Daring blushed hard. "So... I did pee my pants...? In front of everypony...?" She asked. Ryder gave a little 'mmhmm'. "...Did... Did you change me out of my wet clothes...?" He made the noise again. "....Th-thank you... Ryder? Can... Can I ask a question?"

Ryder sighed. "Yeah... Go ahead." He said.

Daring took a deep breath as she started to pee. "...Would you.... Ever punish me for doing something horrible to you like shooting you in the leg?" She asked.

Ryder gasped. "No baby I'm not one to punish anyone but... Now that all I have is my sister... That's gonna change with her..." He said. "And besides if I ever hit a mare I'd look onto myself as a remake of my own father... He was an abusive jackass..."

Daring sighed not only because of her bladders relief but of the answer Ryder had given her. "...Another question then Ry...." She said. "Did you happen to try anything while I was passed out? I wont object if you had done anything like groped or gave me a little tease."

Ryder gave a little whimper. "...Well... It wasn't much of a tease..." He said. "P-please don't be mad but... I... Kinda buttfucked you while you were asleep..."

Daring giggled a bit. "I'm not mad Ryder!" She said. "In my dream I literally said... well... after I pissed my self... 'you can do anything to me while I'm asleep and I wont call you out on it' or something of that nature... I cant remember it clearly."

The stallion outside of the stall sat down on the floor giving a hefty sigh. "...Thank Celestia..." He said. "I was afraid you'd go to celestia saying I'd... forced myself on you... Anyways... I had a talk with Luna while you were asleep but... she couldn't do anything to wake you up... I was just sitting up, at your side just... looking out for you..."

Daring finished up and wiped herself before standing back up covering herself again with her undergarments. "Awww somepony was worried about me." She said. "Now... why don't you and I get something light to eat and go back to bed? We have a big day ahead of us." She unlocked the door and stepped out just as Ryder stood up. He nodded and walked back outside the bathroom.

Ryder looked to Daring just as they went back into the room they had to share. "...I'm glad that was just a dream and not a reality..." He said. "...I'll see if we can get a bit of firepower with us just in case we do get.... Y'know..."

Daring nodded and nuzzled him before going to get some clothes on. Dream or not it was still pretty realistic.
