Pinks rested against the building with AJ laying atop her, both nude and sweating.

"That was fun..." Pinks cooed, kissing AJ's cheek.

The orange mare smiled and stood up, stretching. "It sure was, sugarcube..."

The pink mare slowly got up and stretched as well, a few of her joints making popping noises. "Oh, my body's feeling much better..."

"Good to hear," AJ replied, moving to gather up her clothes. "Now, we need to go and find the others."

"Any idea how?" Asked the pink mare, gathering her own clothes. "It's a big city..."

AJ nodded and thought for a moment, before letting out a chuckle. "We could cause some shit..." she suggested, stepping into her pants and pulling them up. "You know... Blow something up?"

The pink mare chuckled and nodded, slipping into her own pants. "We could do that. We'd just need something to blow up."

"And somethin' to blow that somethin' up with..." AJ added.

"You're not suggesting we try and steal a tank, are you?" Asked Pinks as she pulled her shirt on.

The orange mare gave a smirk. "Ya bet yer sweet ass I am..."

Sunset Shimmer was seated beside Fluttershy, the pegasus leaning against her with Shimmer's arm around her.

"Think we'll ever find the others?" Asked Shy softly.

Sunset eyed her and smiled. "Of course we will. And as soon as you're ready we can start looking, kay?"

Fluttershy nodded and smiled back. "Okay..."

The macaroni-colored mare nuzzled the mare's head before they both heard a soft tapping noise. Shimmer hesitated before pulling away from Shy.

"Wait here," she said, before pulling out her gun and slowly moving the corner of the building. She then slowly peeked out into the alley and went slightly wide-eyed. "Uh... Flutters?"

The yellow mare tilted her head and got up, moving over to Shimmer before peeking into the alley. She let out a loud gasp as she spotted a white bunny hopping towards them, who stopped when it spotted Fluttershy. The pegasus quickly ran over to it and scooped it up before rushing back to Sunset.

"Oh, Angel!" She said happily, hugging the bunny closer. "I thought I'd lost you!" She cried, nuzzling the bunny's head before pulling away. Seeing the bunny had a sad expression in his face made her confused and worried. "Uh... Angel?"

The bunny hesitated before it was suddenly covered in green flames. Fluttershy gasped as she let go out of surprise. When the flames cleared, Chrysalis was left kneeling in front of her, still with her sad expression. She then reached out and gently placed a hand on Shy's cheek with a light smile, a tear falling from her eye.

Fluttershy let out a gasp and lunged at her, tackling her to the ground as she hugged her tightly. "Oh, Chryssie!" She cried. "You made it!"

The Changeling smiled and hugged back, nuzzling the mare's neck. "I'm so happy I found you..." she said softly, sniffling as she and Shy just hugged for what seemed like an hour.

"But that means that Angel..." Shy said as she lifted her head to look Chrysalis in the eyes.

"I'm sure he's fine," Chrysalis said with a smile, holding Shy by the waist. "He's a tough bunny."

"You're right," Flutters said softly as she wiped her eyes. "I'm still so happy to see you..."

Chrysalis smiled up at her. "Me, too."

Sunset watched them with a smile before peeking into the alley, seeing a tank roll by in the street. "I hope the others are okay..."

Surprise opened her eyes and smiled upon seeing a sleeping Ginger beside her. Leaning in, she kissed her on the lips before getting out of the bed and stretching. As she did, a stallion came running into the department and stopping, staring at the nude mare.

Surprise eyed him and smiled. "Yes?"

"Um..." the stallion said, forgetting for a moment what the message was that he was supposed to be delivering. "Oh, right... I came to tell you that the... UV lights are set-up as are the speakers you requested be set up around the city."

"Good," the mare cooed. "How's Malice?"

"The girl? She's just been wandering the mall."

Surprise nodded and turned to fully face him. "Is Byte back yet?"

"Yes. She and the others came back about a half hour ago."

"Good. Send her up to see me. Bit, too."

The stallion nodded and left, moving rather quickly. Surprise smirked as she watched him before sitting back on the bed. Looking over at Ginger, she reached out and gently ran a finger down her back. After a minute or two, Bit and Byte came jogging into the department.

"You wanted to... see us?" Bit asked, slowing to a stop upon seeing the nude mare.

Surprise eyed them and smiled. "Yes. Come over here."

The two sisters eyed each other before moving closer. Once they were close enough, the white mare smiled. "You two have done well... Now..." she said, gently cupping her own breasts. "Come get 'em... I could use a quickie before heading out again."

Bit smirked and sat beside her on the left and leaned in, wrapping her lips around the mare's left nipple. Byte hesitated, watching her sister before sitting on Surprise's right. She then leaned in and began sucking on Surprise's right nipple.

"Oh, good girls..." the blonde-haired mare cooed gently, placing her hands on the mares' backs.

As the two sucked on her nipples she felt Ginger sit up behind her. After a second or two, she felt Ginger's lips on the back of her neck. Smiling, she looked over her shoulder as she and the brown mare kissed.

As Ginger broke the kiss, she smiled. "So, what's the next step, babe?"

"I was thinking of paying the Wet Mare a visit tonight..." the white mare replied. "Have some fun... Other than that, just do whatever, I guess. I mean, this city's ours. We could go streaking if we wanted."

Ginger let out a laugh. "Have fun. I think I'll keep my clothes on."

"Come on... Live a little," Surprise sang with a chuckle. "It's fun."

The brown mare rolled her eyes and began kissing Surprise's back. "Just relax and enjoy having three mares service you..."

Surprise smiled and closed her eyes, letting out soft coos.

AJ peeked out of the alley and looked both ways. Seeing no Apocalypse around, she ran across the desolate street and into another alley. Even though Surprise was allowing for civilians to go about their daily tasks no one seemed to want to be outside. Pinks then peeked out and ran across, joining AJ across the street.

"So, we're a ways from the mall now," AJ said as she led Pinks down the alley. "Meaning Surprise shouldn't be an issue for us." She then found a ladder that led up to a nearby rooftop. "Up here," she said, climbing up.

"You know this plan is crazy, right?" Asked the pink mare as she followed AJ.

"We need a tank, Pinkie. Otherwise, we might not make it."

Pinkamena sighed as they finally made it to the roof. "I guess you're right," she said as she stood up.

She and AJ then moved to the edge of the roof that overlooked the street.

"Now we wait..." AJ said as she sat down.

"How do you know a tank will come by here?" The pink mare asked. "Of all the roads in the city..."

"Look at the pavement," AJ said, pointing down at the street. "There's cracks in it as well as the sidewalk. Some of the sidewalk is even destroyed. Crushed as if by..." she said, eyeing the pink mare.

"Something heavy?" Asked Pinkamena. "I guess it's safe to assume it's from a tank but it's still an assumption..."

"Best lead we got right now..." Applejack said as she laid down on her back.

The pink mare watched her before laying beside her. "I'm surprised Surprise didn't have snipers on the roofs here."

"It's still early into her takeover," AJ said, eyeing her. "She probably hasn't full set up yet."

"I guess..." Pinks then stared up at the sky, watching the clouds go by. "So peaceful up there, isn't it?" She asked. "In the clouds... It's almost like nothing's changed..."

Applejack eyed her again before looking up, too. "We'll get there again... Ah'm sure of it..."

"Yeah..." Pinks said, sounding unsure but also hopeful.

After a brief moment of silence, the two heard the sound of an approaching vehicle coming down the road.

AJ rolled onto her stomach and peeked over the edge. "Shh... I think..." she said, looking down the road and smiling. "Tank. Bingo."

"A tank?" Asked Pinks, crawling up beside AJ for a look. "Good call."

Applejack then crept back to the ladder and started crawling down. "You know what to do, Pinks. Let's do this."

Pinkamena gave her a thumbs up before looking at the tank again.

When AJ got to the bottom, she moved to the end of the alley and peeked out. The tank was getting closer but appeared to be turning down another street.

"Shit," AJ growled, pulling out her gun and firing at the tank. The large vehicle stopped as the turret turned to face her. "Shit," she gasped, ducking back into the alley before the tank fired.

Pinks covered her head as part of the building next to the one she was currently on exploded. Debris fell down as AJ managed to get away safely. She then aimed at the street and fired to let the tank know she was alive.

The pink mare watched as the tank turned and began rolling closer, the engine getting louder and louder. When it rolled up to the alley where AJ was, it turned its turret to face it. After some hesitation the hatch opened up as a stallion with a machine gun appeared, aiming down the alley.

AJ stuck her head out from a side alley and fired at them. The stallion flinched before firing back.

Pinks took a deep breath before running to the edge of the building and jumping down onto the back of the tank. The stallion stopped firing and spun around, the pink mare grabbing the barrel of his gun with a wince of pain before shooting him twice in the head.

She then grabbed the gun from his hand and pulled him out. Afterwards, she dropped down inside and fired at the remaining two inside.

Letting out a deep exhale, she began to carry the bodies to the ladder and pushing them out. After she pushed the last one out, AJ dropped down and smirked.

"Good job," she said, the two fist-bumping.

Octavia looked at the window, seeing the light getting a tad dimmer.

"It's after noon now..." she said.

Vinyl nodded. "Only a few more hours left..."

"We still going to the club?"

"Yes, Octi. If anyone's there it's my job to provide the music and I guess it's now yours to provide the entertainment... This city needs some fun after today..."

Octavia nodded and sat up. "What happens if we see Surprise?"

Vinyl hesitated in thought for a moment, clearly considering on ripping the mare's head off. "We... can't kill her... If what she said was true than what's the point? Not to mention she has that necklace... If we get too close and do something she doesn't like then boom... We become weakened and then she'll probably kill us..."

"So, we do nothing?"

"Just be natural, Octi... And be extra fun tonight... As I said, the city needs this..."

Octavia smiled and nodded. "Okay, Vinyl. I'll do my best."

The DJ smiled and gently rubbed the cellist's cheek. "I know, babe," she said before kissing her on the lips.
