Twilight blocked a punch from a stallion and kneed him in the chest before stumbling out of the battlefield. The white mare glared at her and quickly disappeared inside a nearby clothing store. Twilight ran up to the door and stopped, knowing full well that this mare was no normal enemy. She was smarter and tougher than anyone she's face so far.

The mare held up her gun and entered the building, looking around. There were clothing racks upon clothing racks. Not to mention the various pillars being used to hold up the ceiling. She could be anywhere in there. Twilight narrowed her eyes and headed in further.

Sky Dream left the cover of the car and ran back into the fight. Looking around, she saw one of their own being surrounded. Blocking a punch from a nearby enemy, she proceeded to kick him in the chest before running to help. As she ran, a stallion jumped out in front of her, raising a knife before his head exploded. As his body fell to the ground, the mare looked up at a nearby rooftop to see a white stallion with a sniper. Giving her the thumbs-up, he proceeded to shoot another one.

Sky gave a light smile before rushing to help.

Twilight stepped out from behind a clothing rack and aimed her gun down the aisle. Taking a few steps forward, she heard a noise behind her. Quickly turning around, she fired her gun a couple times. Upon seeing nothing, she narrowed her eyes.

"Come on out, you bitch..." she growled, moving towards the source of the noise.

As she neared a line of racks, she slowed her pace and proceeded more cautiously. Once she had taken a couple more steps, she leaped forward and aimed her gun where she heard the sound come from... only nothing was there. Kicking over the rack, she let out a yell of frustration.

"Stop playing games!" She yelled out.

She suddenly heard a giggle over the intercom. "Oh, Twilight... Games are so much fun. Maybe you'd lighten if we played some more..."

"I'm not in the mood!" The purple mare screamed out. "I just wanna kill you for all the things you did! For all those you killed!"

"Ooo, touchy touchy... Sounds like you'd do anything for your... team..."

"I would," Twi replied, circling a pillar. "I'd die for them."

"Why?"

"Because we're a family, you bitch!"

Surprise let out a soft chuckle. "Mmm... A family that lies together... dies together..."

"Lies?" Asked Twilight. "What the fuck are you talking about?!"

"You think Celestia's told you everything?"

Twilight stopped moving and looked around, trying to find where the office was. "What are you talking about?"

The white sniper kept firing until he heard a noise behind him. Looking back, he saw a stallion running towards him with a rather big knife. He quickly spun around and shot the stallion, the momentum carrying the dead stallion right into the sniper. Both tumbled over the edge as the white stallion managed to maneuver the enemy's body beneath him, using him as a cushion for when they hit.

Once they hit bottom, the sniper rolled off the corpse and pulled out two guns. He then stood up and began shooting.

"Bullshit," Twilight replied.

"Why would I lie?" The white mare asked over the intercom. "You know how much I would love to tear your team apart... What better way than to reveal the deep, dark, true secrets of your supposed friends?"

"Even if what you're saying is true... They're still infinitely times better than you'll ever be!"

"Oh, I doubt that..."

"WHY DON'T YOU CUT THE SHT AND COME ON OUT?!" Twilight yelled out in anger as she shot blindly a couple times.

"I'm not moving from this spot..." Surprise sang. "You just have to find me..."

Twilight growled and her eyes finally caught glimpse of the office at the back. "There you are..."

"Hello!" Surprise sang. "Come get me!"

Sky rammed into a cloaked stallion and snapped his neck before looking at the male zebra she had helped.

"You good?" She asked, before looking at the others closing in on them.

"I had him," the zebra replied before kicking back a charging enemy.

As he did, the enemy stumbled before getting shot in the head. The zebra watched the body drop before the white sniper ran over to them.

"Will this ever end?" He asked, shooting the others. he then looked at Sky. "What's your name?"

"Sky Dream. Yours?"

"Silver Chord." The stallion then looked at the zebra. "And you?"

"Zunrai," the zebra replied.

"Hmm... Well, Sky Dream and Zunrai..." Silver said as he tossed one of his guns up in the air. "I only have two so share."

With that, he proceeded to shoot some more enemies as Sky jumped up and grabbed the gun.

"Ha!" She cheered triumphantly before firing the gun. "I'm faster..."

"Yes, you are," the zebra said before going to fight hand-to-hand.

Luna and the others stood outside the mall, watching the fight.

"This is awful..." the alicorn said softly.

Celestia eyed her before noticing Midnight carrying Aqua's body.

"Oh, no," she gasped, taking a step forward.

She stopped when she saw a stallion about to attack the black mare. Raising her hand, she fired a bolt of light at the attacker, sending him flying backwards. Midnight was sniffling and whimpering as she carried Aqua over to them.

"Sh-Sh-She's d-d-dead..." the mare cried as she dropped her knees.

Celestia knelt down with her and looked at Aqua. "Midnight, I... I am so sorry... I know how much she meant to you and Twilight..."

Luna watched them before looking out at the battlefield. "Not to change the subject, but... where is Twilight?"

"Sh-She went off to fight Surprise..." Midnight answered, her voice breaking.

Chrysalis heard this and began thinking, before looking at Fluttershy. "I have an idea... but, you aren't going to like it..."

Fluttershy looked at her and hesitated before going wide-eyed. "N-No! You are not leaving me again, I... I-I just-- I..." she stammered before Chrysalis pulled her into a kiss.

The yellow mare soon relaxed before the two parted.

"I will come back for you," the Changeling said with a smile as she used her finger to wipe a tear off Fluttershy's cheek. "I promise..."

Twilight raised her gun at the office door, approaching it slowly. The closer she got, the better she felt in knowing that soon she was gonna put a bullet in the bitch's head. As she got to the door, she reached out with her right hand and grabbed the doorknob. After hesitating for a brief moment, she quickly turned the knob and flung the door open.

As she did, she noticed a small black device sitting on the office desk by the microphone. Then, only a few seconds later, the device exploded, sending Twilight flying backwards. After knocking over a couple racks of clothes she slammed into a pillar and collapsed to the floor.
