Malice hesitated in thought, going over the situation in her head before nodding. "I can do this. You just make sure you and the others find each other..." Dash nodded as Malice stood up. "Also, you should run. In order to not blow my cover I'll have to let them know you're here. Got a place to hide?"

Rainbow Dash smirked and pulled out her gun. "There's a manhole in one of the alleys I went through..."

Malice nodded and stretched some more before looking at Dash again with a gasp. "Rainbow Dash?!" She then turned to Surprise and yelled, "ELEMENTAL!!!"

Dash looked over to see Surprise get up from her chair and pull out her gun. "She looks pissed," she said with a chuckle, waiting for her to get closer before popping out and firing at the white mare.

Malice covered her ears, the gunfire being a tad too loud as she watched Surprise fire at Dash before taking cover. A bullet shot through Dash's firing shoulder, making her yelp and duck back into the alley.

"Fuck..." she groaned, holding her shoulder.

"Dash..." Malice said as she eyed Surprise. "She's planning something big... You have to get the others..."

Rainbow looked at her and nodded. "You just be careful," she said, before holstering her gun with a wince and taking off into the alley.

The girl nodded and watched Dash run to the end of the alley and kneel down, grabbing a manhole cover. Letting out a pained grunt, she shakily pulled it up enough to slid it over.

"Fuck..." Dash whimpered, gripping her shoulder before dropping down. She then reached up with her good hand and slid the cover back over the hole.

She then dropped to her knees and kept her hand over her shoulder, taking a moment to relax before getting up and heading through the sewers.

Pinks slid down against the side of a building and groaned. "Shit..."

AJ looked over at her before walking over to her, kneeling beside her. "What's wrong?"

"That crash..." the pink mare said with a sigh. "I'm still... sore all over... I hope no-nothing's broken..."

AJ nodded slightly. "Lemme check," she said as she gripped Pinks' shirt and gently pulled it up to just under her breast. She then gently ran a hand over the mare's bare stomach, seeing if she could feel any signs of broken bones. "Ah don't... feel anything..." she said, about to pull away.

Just then, Pinkamena placed her right hand on AJ's. "Don't stop... That feels... nice," she said with a smile.

AJ hesitated before smiling back, placing her other hand on Pinks' side and gently rubbing her. The pink mare closed her eyes with a smile, as if the gentle rubbing was making her forget about her aches and pains from the car crash.

Pinks then raised her arms above her head, stretching them out with a light grunt. AJ eyed her before looking at her bare stomach, biting her lip. Then, with a smile and a blush, she leaned in and gave Pinks' belly a light kiss, making the pink mare look down at her.

AJ kept kissing the same spot before running her lips up a little bit before kissing her abs. Pinks blushed heavily but did nothing. She actually smiled and bit her lip as well. After a few more kisses, she reached out and gently rubbed the back of AJ's head, making the mare eye her while she kept the kissing going.

Without saying a word, Pinks smiled and gripped her shirt, pulling it off the rest of the way and setting it aside. AJ hesitated in thought before smirking and kissing higher before she was in between the pink mare's breasts. Pinkamena let out a soft moan as AJ reached up with both hands and gently gripped the mare's breasts.

"You know..." Pinks started. "They say relationships... based on intense... experiences... never work..." she said between pants.

"Fuck 'em," AJ replied before leaning in and kissing her on the lips.

The pink mare closed her eyes and kissed back.

Deva let out a grunt as she helped Trixie into a seated position. "Rest here for a moment," she said, before standing up and stretching. "Damn... My body's getting tired. I need to do something..."

"Like what?" Asked Amanté, coming up behind her.

"I dunno... Just something... I can't stand this wandering around."

"Well, we can't just head up there without knowing where we'd end up," Amanté pointed out.

Deva sighed and crossed her arms. "Well, I'm getting sick of this..."

Trixie watched them before hearing a faint noise from their right. Looking over, she caught the attention of the other two, who also looked where she was looking. To their right the catwalk they were on curved off to the right, making it impossible to see if anyone was coming from that direction.

"What is it?" Asked Amanté in a whisper. "Trouble?"

Trixie shook her head in uncertainty. "I-I'm not sure... I just... heard something..."

Deva eyed her before pulling out her gun. "Probably one of those fucking Apocalypse..." she growled, raising her gun.

Amanté raised her gun as well, the shuffling noise getting louder and louder until a figure suddenly came around the corner. Deva didn't hesitate to fire, making the figure drop to her butt both out of fright and to avoid getting shot. Deva then lowered her gun, noticing who it was.

"Deva?" Asked Rainbow Dash.

"Rainbow?" The gray mare asked in response.

The pegasus then looked at the tall black mare. "Amanté?"

"Dash?" The mare replied.

"Trixie?" Dash asked when she noticed the blue unicorn sitting against the wall.

"Dashie?"

"Alright, enough with the greeting," Deva said as she holstered her gun.

Amanté walked over and held out a hand. Rainbow reached up and took it, letting out a grunt as she was helped up.

"Shit..." she groaned, holding her shoulder.

"You, too?" Asked Trixie with a light smile, happy to see a friendly face.

Dash smiled and walked over to her, kneeling down. "I got shot. You?"

"Dropped down a hole... Whacked my legs on the metal railing," the blue unicorn explained, pointing to the catwalk railings.

Dash nodded and reached out, rubbing Trixie's cheek before leaning in and giving her a hug. "Good to see you're okay."

"You, too," Trixie said with a smile.

"Look, this is real touching but can we go now?" Deva insisted.

Rainbow nodded and pulled way from Trixie before standing up. "Follow me. I can lead us back to the others."

"I-Is Lightning Dust... with them?" Trixie asked, sounding hopeful.

Dash eyed her and smiled. "Yes, she is."

Surprise and Malice both entered the mall as the white mare eyed the girl.

"So, I had fun..." she said with a smile. "Apart from Rainbow Dash showing and shooting at us..."

Malice gave her a smile. "Yeah... Fun... We should totally do it again some time."

Surprise nodded and held out a hand, gently rubbing the girl's head. "Of course. For now, I think I'll go pay Ginger a visit. You do whatever," she cooed, before walking off.

Malice watched her leave before looking back at the mall entrance. Letting out a sigh, she turned and walked towards the escalators.

Surprise walked to the back of the sofa department where a little living area was set up. In the far corner was a bed. Beside it was a table and next to that was a dresser. A little ways away from the bed was a desk facing the wall and a swivel chair.

Sitting at the desk was Ginger, who was looking over a few blueprints of the mall. The white mare smiled and walked up behind her, leaning in and gently kissing her neck.

"Huh?!" Asked the brown mare, startled. "Oh..." she added with a sigh, realizing who it was. "Hey..."

Surprise smiled and kissed her briefly on the lips. "Hey... Whatcha up to?"

"Oh, just... figuring out how to set up our headquarters..." Ginger replied, looking down at the blueprints again.

Surprise eyed the papers before running a hand down from Ginger's neck to her belly. "I can think of much more fun things to do than that..." she said, making the brown mare look up from her work. "Why not take a break?"

Ginger looked over her shoulder at Surprise and smiled. "I guess I could use a break..."

The white mare stood up straight as Ginger spun her chair around. She then stood up and placed her hands on her lover's shoulder. Surprise placed hers on Ginger's hips before leaning in and kissing her. The brown mare kissed back before Surprise turned to face the bed before making Ginger walk backwards towards it. She then pushed the mare onto the bed.

Ginger smirked as she hit the bed on her back, running her hands along her legs. Surprise smirked back and pulled off her shirt, revealing her bare breasts. After tossing her shirt aside, she leaned forward and gripped Ginger's jeans, unbuttoning them and pulling them down.

"Panties?" Asked Surprise. "Why do you insist on wearing underwear."

"Not all of use are as free as you," Ginger said with a chuckle.

Surprise smiled and gripped the panties before pulling them down. "Mmm... Such a beautiful pussy..." she cooed, reaching out and rubbing it with two fingers.

Ginger tilted her head back and let out a soft moan. The white mare then dove in and gave a few forceful licks across the wet lips. Afterwards, she slid two fingers inside and began to pump, making Ginger moan out loudly. Once she felt like she had made her mate moan enough, she stopped and began crawling up the mare's body.

Ginger bit her lip as Surprise gripped the bottom of her shirt and pulled it up over her breasts.

"Bra... Figures," the white mare cooed, gripping it and pulling it up.

She then leaned in and wrapped her lips around Ginger's left nipple, sucking away. The brown mare let out more moans and gasps as she began to pull of her own shirt and bra. Once she was fully nude, she reached down and began rubbing Surprise's back.

"Oh, you're amazing..." she said with a soft moan.

Surprise smiled and gave the nipple a love nibble before pulling away. "Only because I love you so much," she said as she leaned in and kissed the mare.

Ginger smiled and kissed back, wrapping her arms around the white mare in a loving embrace.

Deva pushed the manhole cover open and slid it away before climbing out. Looking around, she saw that they were safe from view in an alley. Kneeling down, she held out her hand.

"Come on," she said, as Dash and Amanté helped Trixie up the ladder.

Once she was high enough, Deva helped her the rest of the way. Afterwards, Amanté climbed out and then Dash. Deva then slid the manhole cover back in place.

"This way," Dash said, moving down the alley as Deva helped Trixie up.

The cyan mare led the others through a series of alleys, avoiding the street at all costs until they finally made it back to the others.

When Lightning saw Dash emerge she stood up. "Did you find anything?" She asked with a hopeful expression.

Dash smiled and nodded, stepping aside. "Oh, yeah."

As she did, Amanté appeared and looked around with a light smile. "Nice to see other made it," she replied before Deva and Trixie appeared.

Lightning went wide-eyed and ran over, wrapping her arms around the blue mare. When the blue mare let out a yell of pain, Lightning quickly took a step back.

"Wh-What happened? What's wrong?" She asked, sounding extremely worried.

"Nothing," Trixie said with as sigh. "Just... my legs... They're killing me..."

Deva, who had barely managed to hang on during the hug, knelt down and helped Trixie sit against the side of a building. Dust knelt down beside her and leaned in, kissing her on the lips.

"I was so worried..." Lightning whimpered, kissing Trixie again.

Dash watched them with a light smile before looking over at Kyra. Taking in a deep breath, she walked over and gave a light wave.

"Hey," she said softly.

"What is it?" Asked the red mare, who was sitting on the ground with her knees pulled up to her chest.

"I... I saw Malice," Dash replied, getting a look from everyone, especially Kyra.

The red mare quickly stood up and grabbed Dash's arms. "Where?!" She asked, a single tear of hope running down her cheek.

Rainbow winced slightly but ignored it. "She's with Surprise."

Kyra's expression suddenly turned angry. "And you just left her?!" She yelled, her grip tightening.

"She had a good reason," the cyan mare replied calmly, trying to reassure the red mare though it didn't seem like it was working.

"A good reason?" Asked Kyra. "What reason could she have given to justify you LEAVING HER WITH SURPRISE??!!!" She screamed, tears of fright beginning to trickle down her face.

Rainbow looked her directly in the eyes and sighed. "She said that with her around... Surprise is more... tame... She's giving us a chance by distracting her... I'm sorry..."

Kyra sniffled and let go, putting a hand over mouth. "She must be so scared..."

"But very brave," Dash added, gently resting her hands on the mare's shoulders. "And, I promise, we will get her back..."

Kyra eyed her, hesitating before nodding, sniffling a little. "You're right... She's always been brave..."

"And, where do you think she gets it from?"

The red mare hesitated in thought before sniffling again, this time smiling lightly. "Her mother..."

"Exactly," Rainbow replied with a smile. "Now, be brave for her. I hope no one takes this the wrong way but the time for mourning is over... We have to start taking action. Otherwise, this city may become too far gone for us to save it."

Kyra nodded and wiped the tears from her eyes. "You're right... We're no good to the city if we just stay her and mope... Besides... Saving the city will make it easier to find the others."

Dash gave her a bigger smile and let go of her shoulders. "So, we all in agreement?" She asked, before looking around at the others, who all gave either a nod or a light smile. "Alright..." Dash said, looking back at Kyra. "Though, we should probably wait for Chrysalis to get back..."

"That's fine," Lightning said before looking over at Midnight, who was sitting down, facing a building and making no sign that she was actually listening to them.

Dash looked over at her too and let out a sad sigh. Everyone else still had hope of finding their loved one. Midnight, however, watched her loved one get shot in front of her. Rainbow slowly began walking over to her, kneeling down beside her. She didn't say anything, though. She simply stared at the brick wall, too.
