“There you go my friend, you’re all patched up.” Said Sunny Day finishing up bandaging the last slave pony.

“Thank you Ms. Sunny Day, you don’t know how much this means to us that you saved us.” Said Clocksmith. “If there’s anything you need from us, let us know and we’ll help.”

“Oh don’t worry about. Now try not to move so much now okay? Those bandages will stop the bleeding as long as you don’t push yourself.” She said as she took a empty seat next to her to relax in. “Dear Celestia, I’m surprised that we had enough medical supplies to go around.” Just as she was about to take a sip from a bottle of apple cider she got from the bar, Vanessa and Littlepip entered into the room. Most of the slave ponies were scared at first due to the fact that some of them didn’t know what the strange creature was.

“I’m back from the bar.” Said Littlepip. “And I brought Vanessa with me as well.”

“Glad to see you out of your little depression my human friend, and I see that you two have some new stuff on yeah.”

“Parting gift from Samantha.” Vanessa said as she pulled out a bag of cookies. “She even left us some of her homemade cookies as well.”

“Oh? Never thought to see sweets like those. How did she make those?”

“It’s Samantha, she always find a way to do something like this.” She answered as she toss a few at Sunny and Pip. “So what do we do now?”

“Well for starters we gotta get the hell off this mountain and back to New Appaloosa. After that…..I really have no idea, but we’ll see how this plays out.”

“Yeah sorry about that, didn’t think we were gonna make this far.”

“Eh don’t worry about. After what happen in Old Appaloosa I’m pretty sure we’re in the clear for now, but keep on your guard we don’t know if there is any survivors coming after us.” Sunny said as she began to eat. “Well besides losing a friend and that handsome dick of a slaver I think this turned out better then expect…..no offense.”

“None taken if Samantha was here with us she would of said the same.” Vanessa said as she pulled out a bottle of Apple Cider, and began to drink it.

“You sure you wanna drink that during a time like this?”

“Like I told Littlepip I have an artificial heart and liver that turn toxins into protan, so i can drink as much as I want. Though the downside is that I’ll still have the stupid headache from it.”

“That’s…..that’s actually a smart and interesting way to help somepony with a heart or liver problem. You don’t mind if we have a look at it do you?”

“.........No.”

“Why not?”

“Well I’m not injured or anything. Plus I don’t like it when…..ponies look at my insides….no offense or anything.”

“None taken…...So what are you ladies gonna do after this?”

“We’re gonna be doing a lot of things after this. Find Velvet Remedy and fulfill Samantha’s dying wish.”

“What was her wish?”

“She wanted me to be the hero of the wasteland.”

“..........Forgive me if I sound like a dick, but that’s the most stupidest wish I have ever heard, and I have heard a lot of stupid wishes.”

“Stupid as it may sound, but I’m pretty much gonna fulfill it.”

“What you’re about to do is insane on so many levels. I mean do you know how many bad shit is in this land? That doesn’t includes the raiders, slavers, and monsters. I’m talking about Alicorns, super mutants, ghouls, unknown monsters, the list goes on and it never ends.”

“Don’t care.”

“......You really are going to do this are you?”

“With Littlepip’s help we’re going to take down anyone that stands in our way.”

“Do…...I mean…..but…..UGH! Dammit!......You know what buck it I don’t do that much in New Appaloosa, and they pretty much just send me around the wastelands so I want in.”

“You sure? I’m not gonna lie you might end up getting killed if you come with us.”

“Well it’s not like I’m gonna leave you two after the shit we been through, plus Tom seems to want me to stay and help out.” She said as Tom crawled out of Sunny’s bag and onto her head. “So I might as well help when it come to what you need to know about the wasteland, just don’t expect me to follow you into any dangerous place unless I have no choice.”

“Sounds like a plan. So what do we do first after we get the slaves?”

“We’re gonna have to go to ghoul city, it’s pretty much the safest place where we can stay and not have to worry about ponies coming after us.”

“What’s wrong with any other place?”

“Not that many safe places to relax in for a long time, plus after what we just did we pretty much gonna get Red Eye’s attention.”

“Who’s ready, is he your leader or something?” Asked Littlepip.

“HA! Yeah right, I would sooner die than to serve that crazy pony.” Sunny said as she took the bottle from Vanessa, and began to drink some of it herself. “Red Eye isn’t my or some ponies leader, he’s just somepony who wants to rule the world and what everything to go his way.”

“Why do I get the feeling that this Red Eye pony has a god like complex.” Said Vanessa as she called Tom over to feed him. “If he does have that kind of mind complex, then we might end up having to fight him later on.”

“That is an possible “if” Vanessa. Red Eye maybe crazy, but he’s has ponies stupid enough to follow him till they die. Personally I would keep a safe distance from the bastard as much as possible.”

“How powerful is he-.”

“RRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Before Vanessa could ask her question, they heard a loud blood curdling roar followed by a loud banging sound that sounded like something hit a metal door very hard. The huntress looked at both Littlepip and Sunny Day with an annoyed look on her face saying “you gotta be kidding me.” expression.

“Question, did Asphyxious ever killed that dragon?”

“I think he only injured it to the point of passing out.” Littlepip answered.

“Crap.” Vanessa shoved the rest of the cookies into her pocket, as she rushed towards the ladder the reached to the roof of the room they’re in. “Sunny keep the train going towards New Appaloosa, Littlepip you’re with me and finishing off this bastard for good.”

“Right.” Littlepip said as she rush off with Vanessa.

(Rooftop)

        Vanessa and Littlepip made to the roof as they saw the battered up Chaotic Gore Magala staggering to keep itself up from the damage it received from Asphyxious, and from the constant dropping of boxcar courtesy of Vanessa. As the beast was slowly staggering towards the duo Vanessa notice the black/purple like substance dripping from it’s mouth.

“Better not let it hit or bite me. I know the frenzy virus increases a person’s strength, but I don’t know what it would do in real life.”  She thought as she unsheath her sword.

“Anything that I need to know about this thing?” Littlepip asked as she pulled little mac out.

“Watch out for that black stuff, and be careful this thing can hit hard and move really fast.”

“Anything else?”

“Let’s try not to let this bastard get to the engine room.” After saying that Both Vanessa and the dragon charged at each other. As they both reached each other and the dragon was about to bite the huntress’s head. Vanessa jumped on top of the dragon and stabbed it on it’s back, the dragon roared as it struggled around like a mad bull trying to get Vanessa off it’s back. “You’re gonna have to try harder if you want me off your back stupid.” She said as she dug her sword deeper into the dragon’s back. During this time Littlepip was shooting at the Chaotic Gore Magala’s wing like claws, mostly because she wanted to prevent it from flying away or from grabbing one of them. This plan of her’s was short well lived when Vanessa was thrown off and sent flying at Littlepip. The two collided with each other as the dragon flew up into the air, and fired a blackish purple like ball at them. The attack made contact as they both we’re infected by the frenzy virus.

“Dammit, not good.”

“What was that it hit us with?”

“Frenzy Virus, it acts like the demondrug I have but a little bit different.”

“Well in the game it weakens you if you don’t hit it a bunch of time, but I don’t know it will work here.”

“What will happen to use?”

“Don’t know, we’ll worry about it later once we hit New Appaloosa.” Vanessa pulled herself up from the the roof as she took switched to her Star Knight Sword. “Just focus on tall and ugly over here.” Just as the dragon was about to charge at our two heroes, Vanessa pulled out a flash bomb and threw it in front of the Chaotic Gore Magala. The dragon fell onto the train car causing it to buckle a bit from the tracks. Vanessa charged at the fallen dragon getting ready to stick her sword into the dragon’s head, only for the dragon to counter by biting her on the shoulder and hitting her with another frenzy virus attack at close range.

“Vanessa!”

“I-I’m fine.” She said as she jabbed her sword into the dragon’s throat causing it to let her go. “J-Just keep shooting at it until it’s dead.” Vanessa rushed underneath the dragon and begun to hack & slash pass it. Littlepip pulled out her shotgun and shot a piece of the dragon’s shoulder arm like claw off. As Vanessa appeared behind the dragon it had just enter into it’s rage mode causing both Vanessa and Littlepip to cover their ear.

“Yep we pissed it off even more.”

“Really? I haven’t notice seeing how we keep hitting it.” Littlepip said as she shot at it again only to shoot it’s purple feeler off it’s head. Vanessa saw the feeler flying  and decided to grab it after she jumped off of the dragon’s back. After grabbing the feeler Vanessa placed it into her pocket and landed onto the Chaotic Gore Magala’s head. Pulling out her sword from her side, the huntress planted her sword into the skull of the dragon’s head.

“Checkmate!” Vanessa yelled as the dragon fell. The huntress removed her sword from the dragon’s head as she walked/stagger over to Littlepip. “Well that turned better than I expected.”

“Are you kidding me!? That dragon bit you and hit us with some kind of virus that we have no idea what it does. How can you be so, so okay and happy about this?”

“Hey we won didn’t we not to mention we got payback for what it did to us back in Old Appaloosa. Plus I go something from it to make some new armor so why wouldn’t I be happy.”

“.........You are not right in the head you know that?”

“Oh I’m sorry I didn’t my insanity was being judge by my action.” Vanessa said sarcastically. “Now come on let’s head back to the others before-.” Before she could finish saying anything else they both heard the Chaotic Gore Magala roar along with a high pitch sound. The two looked behind themselves as they saw the dragon standing up, what got their attention was the high pitch sound coming from the dragon’s mouth. Seconds later the dragon lowered its head towards the roof of the train car they were standing on, and launched an oncoming tower of dark flames at them.

“Littlepip.”

“Yes?”

“I’m starting to hate the wasteland even more.”

“You and me both.” After saying that both her and Vanessa’s world went to darkness, for all they could hear was the sound of an explosion and the train car they were standing on.
