'Great Business Together' He said it like we'd be willing to do business with Blom or his brothers after what they pulled. Not only did they try to kill Sharp and sell me, but they also extorted us for a debt of three thousand seven hundred caps. Kind of hard to say no, when you’ve got a gun in your face. But no, the thing that ticked me off the most was the fact that Blom made us wear radio controlled explosive collars, apparently, he could detonate them at will with a remote signal.

Unlike the mares at Slave Town, Blom actually explained how they worked. The collar had a built-in explosive charge that would detonate if triggered, tampered with or if it stays out of range for more than twelve hours. Luckily the range easily covered the area of Iron Gem.

On the bright side, if we lived, at least Sharp had an idea of what she could do after all this was over. As for myself, I didn't really have much of a clue what I wanted to do, maybe take up Mr. Luck’s offer. In the meantime, Blom took my jacket to spite me and had given me a blue fabric hood to cover my wings. It was comfy, but not very warm or clean, it had a smell that I had yet to identify. But I knew I definitely didn't want to think about where it came from.

Now back to our current predicament. After Sharp had passed out on the elevator floor, I took her back to Armor Wall to rest as I went topside to search for a lead on power armor. He seemed fine with letting her rest there for a bit as I went back to the elevators.

This time around Blom let me use the elevator free of charge. I bumped into one of his brothers on the way up, but luckily he paid me no attention after seeing the collar. Who knew there were upsides to explosive necklaces. I made my way back to the building board and proceeded to look for something marked as the Red Light district.

Blom said to look for an establishment by the name of The Rodeo. He rushed me out the door before I could ask him what a “Red Light district” was. According to the billboard, the Red Light district was on the opposite side of town, through the markets.

I made sure my wings and collar were hidden as I ventured into the swarm of ponies all trying to buy or sell something. Everything moved too fast and there was far too much noise. I soon became disoriented and lost. I really wished I could use my wings. To be above all this chaos and noise, but I had to keep them hidden. After an unknown amount of time, I got tired and decided to just sit in the middle of the crowd.

I looked up and to my surprise, there was someone flying, but not a pony. This creature was bigger than the average pony, had more distanced wings, like birds. The light day clouds silhouetted it so I moved to the side as best as I could as I watched the creature. It flew down an alley and I gave chase, pushing past other ponies.

It was fast but it was clearly waiting for me to see before it turned a corner, so I wouldn't lose it. I almost used my wings to give chase as I wasn’t used to running very much. But luckily I remembered. I was getting tired when it flew into a building, I ran in after it without ever checking the building.

I panted with my head down as I looked up to see the creature. It had the body, tail, and back legs of a lion; the head and wings of an eagle; and an eagle's talons as its front feet. The only reason I knew what those parts were was because of some children books.

It sat in front of me, looking down at me as I was still lower to the ground panting. It had a white feathery head and a small beak. The feathers on its head faded to a light blue while tilting back, it had matching blue rings around its dark blue eyes that faded back to a point. Yellow talons, a few diamond shaped blue marks on its feathery chest. The rest of its body was a light gray and its massive wings were a few shades darker. The end of its tail also had a long spiky bushel of dark gray hair.

I slowly got up as we stared at each other, I realized we were the same height. It was then that the realization hit me, it was super sexy. I felt my wings tense and almost spring out, from the sear amount I was turned on by this creature. It was hard to restrain myself as I was sure it was a female, otherwise it would be one of the best looking guys I ever saw. We just looked at each other as I didn't know what to say, I didn't even know what this stunning creature was or why it brought me here?

"What brings you to The Rodeo stranger?" Said a pony I didn't even notice sitting near the entrance.

"I umm…" I was speechless as I couldn't help but stare at the creature in front of me.

This beautiful creature pulled out a notepad and turned to a page with a single word. 'Selen.'

I stood there, clueless to the meaning of the word. But thankfully the pink mare with the green eyes at the entrance helped me out. "It's her name, dear. She's mute"

"Oh, that's a nice name." I smiled at her as I really hoped I wasn't blushing.

The entrance pony laughed at me. "Hahaha, Selen dear, why don't you go play with this fetching young buck, on the house."

"Play?"

Before I could turn to ask what sort of game, Selen grabbed my hoof with her claw and pulled me upstairs into a bedroom. She locked the door behind us as I looked around the room. A balcony, curtains, dresser and a bed. Everything was bland and stoic, white walls and a simple mattress with a thick blanket thrown on top, although there was a full body mirror on the headboard of the bed.

"So umm my name’s Star Shot, I um..." I couldn't stop blushing as I tried to avoid looking at Selen, but when I did take a quick look I noticed she was scribbling something down on her notepad. "What are you writing?"

She finished and showed me. 'Come and play.' was written on the notepad.

"Play what?"

She suddenly brought her face really close to mine. I blushed as I moved mine back a little in surprise. She pushed her beak to my lips as I froze up. I didn't even notice when she pulled away a few seconds later to start writing again.

'Are you a good pony?' She smiled at me as I pondered the question. Was I a good pony?

"I try to be." Before I could dive into my head with self-doubt of which I swore to avoid, Selen kissed me again, yes I counted it before as a kiss. This time she kept kissing me until I pulled away. "Umm not that I'm complaining, but why me?"

She gave a silent giggle and she started to write. 'Cute, young and good.'

Cute, I'll take it. "So umm what are you?" I asked curiously as I looked over her body, blushing more. Although my eyes kept getting drawn to her wings.

She moved her wings a bit as she walked over to the bed and sat down. "I'm a Griffin." She patted a spot next to her for me to sit at.

I swallowed nervously and proceeded to sit next to her. "So umm I was meant to ask about~" Before I could finish Selen pushed a feather to my mouth, she proceeded to write.

'Let me help you, talk after.'

"Help me how?" I asked as I looked at the notepad.

Suddenly her wing pushed me onto my back on her bed and pinned me there as she wrote more. I didn't struggle as I just watched her. She dropped the notepad and pencil on a stand next to the bed, a few notes in her claw. She turned to me with a note in her mouth. 'Sex.'

I blushed brightly as she dropped the note and slowly began to move closer with a lustful look. I closed my legs to hide my physical reaction to her seduction. She moved over the top of me as I was speechless and powerless at the same time. She stopped as we were eye to eye. My white face turning pinkish red as I stared into her exotic dark blue eyes.

She smiled and held up a note. 'First time?' I stared at the note as Selen waited for a reply. But I was far too embarrassed to reply, so I just nodded. Another note. 'I'll be gentle.' She proceeded to pull off my hoodie, but we both froze as she then clearly saw my collar. In the heat of the moment I had forgotten about it, as well as my wings.

Luckily I was laying atop my wings so they were still hidden, but I still needed to tell her about the collar as she stared at me. "I umm…" I was speechless.

She grabbed the notepad and wrote. 'Slave?' on it.

"It's a little more complicated than that, but yeah kind of," I answered sheepishly, rubbing my head and laughing at my own stupidity.

I was about to get up, knowing a bomb collar to be a mood killer. When suddenly she kissed me, I didn't question it and wrapped my bandaged hooves around her in an embrace.

Our passionate kiss had brought back the mood, as I slowly parted lips from her beak, she grabbed another note. 'Relax.' She placed her beak on my chest and slowly began to move it down my body as she also slid her claws down my sides. The feeling of her slowly moving over me sent shivers of pleasure down my spine and right to my growing erection. Unfortunately, it also sent blood rushing to my Pegasus parts and resulted in a phenomenon known as a Wing Boner.

Selen jumped back off of me in surprise. I had a split second to react. So I did the one thing I didn't want to, I dove for the balcony and tried to bolt for it. But as it turned out, Griffins also had good reaction time. Selen grabbed my tail and pulled me back onto my back and onto the bed. This time she pinned my wings and glared at me for an explanation.

"Ah… I'm not an Enclave Pegasus, I was born on the ground and I do not know or even care for the Enclave, please don't turn me in!" I blurted out as I covered my face and shut my eyes.

When I did open them I saw Selen atop me with a note in her mouth. 'Do you want to stop?'

I blushed even more as I shook my head. She smiled and proceeded to continue where she left off. I looked over to my wings, her claws were holding them down to keep me in place, not that I wanted to move away. I couldn’t help myself to let out a light moan as she got lower and closer to my erection. She removed her claws from my wings and proceeded to use her wings to spread my legs. Her face was inches away from me as I could feel her breath on my exposed shiny black penis.

I watched as she inspected it for a moment, cupping the black family jewels in her claws as she began to rub them. I couldn't help but moan as her tongue made its way up my shaft and stopped at my medial ring. Her other claw began to rub my tip with her palm. It was hard yet smooth, although the same could have been said of me. Soon her palm was soaked in the natural lubricant as she pulled away. But her wings remained in the same position.

She smirked at me as she licked her beak and grabbed a note. 'Wing Job?'

"Y~yes please." Admittedly I have touched myself with my own wings before. I had found them to be more gentle than my hoof and more pleasurable, if harder to clean. Luckily I was white coated.

Selen began to move her feathers over my shaft. Although not as firm as her tongue and beak or her claw, it was still quite pleasurable. I instinctively began to thrust my hips up and down and Selen compensated by cupping the top half of my erection with both her claws. I moaned as I thrusted into her wings and claws, getting great joy out of it.

I could feel the pressure and pleasure building inside of me as I couldn't stop moving my hips, moaning aloud. I began to lose control of my body as I placed my hooves on Selen's head and with one final thrust up into her mouth. With my bell in her firm yet smooth beak and her tongue lavishing it I couldn't hold back. My erection turned into an eruption as all that pent up pleasure exploded in Selen's mouth. I laid panting as my penis throbbed in exhaustion.

I looked down to see Selen swallow as much of my seed as she could. Some leaking out the side of her beak and onto me as she pulled off. I just laid there panting as the euphoria washed over me, my mind went blank as it felt like I was sucking on Happy again, but a thousand times stronger. My mind was calm and my body relaxed. I smiled at her reveling in the afterglow.

Selen tapped my rear hoof and I looked over to her standing at the base of the bed with a few notes in her mouth. On the first note, of which some of my semen had dripped was written. 'Round two?' I chuckled and looked down to see my body was in fact up for another round. She then proceeded to drop the note, revealing the second one. 'Top or bottom?'

I got to my shaking hooves next to the bed as Selen prompted to get on the bed and get on all fours. She raised her lower body as she smirked at me, giving me a full view of her genitals. I trotted behind her and placed my forehooves on her lower back as my bell began to run her pussy. Her tail wrapped around my waist as I began to move my cock up and down her slit. It felt warm and wet as every fiber of my being wanted to simply thrust into it. But I restrained myself, wanting to pleasure her as well.

After a few seconds of teasing and making sure I was lined up, I slowly began to thrust into her. Even before I was fully in, I could feel her body trying to suck me in, into its warm and silky wet embrace. Her wings twitched and moved as did mine. I could see her face filled with pleasure in the bed mirror as her insides wrapped around mine in the most pleasurable embrace.

After passing my ring I prompted to thrust the rest in faster. Hitting something deep inside her. When I did her insides convolved, giving us great pleasure. I proceeded to batter her insides as we got into a rhythm. I began to thrust with more force as she began to bounce her hips, giving a little wiggle as I reached her deepest point. The room filled with the sound of our wet passion and my pleasure filled moans.

Her insides began to throb as she clawed the bed in a building pleasure. I too was close and soon too did I begin to twitch and throb within her. I picked up the pace as I was close to coming. But it was her who came first. Selen's face contorted and she stuck out her tongue as her insides twitched and spasmed around my cock. Her juices creaming around my cock and leaking out over me.

A few seconds later I gave one last loud moan and thrusted as deep as I could with all my might. Groaning as my cock shot its load deep inside her. We both collapsed onto the bed, me still inside her, as we started to relax. I could feel her insides still sucking and pulsing as our mixture leaked out onto the bed. We panted heavily from satisfaction as we gave way to the ecstasy and the warmth it brought us.

She mustered the strength to roll onto her back. Pulling my now flaccid penis out of her leaking vagina. I laid atop her in her embrace as she wrapped her arms around me. Looking down I could see her smiling up at me, a beautiful afterglow on her face as we laid there. Soon she rested her head on a pillow and I rested my head atop her feathery chest. It was so soft, I soon closed my eyes and drifted to sleep. Feeling all my troubles melting away.

The light of the next morning woke me as it shined through the balcony and reflected off the mirror. I groaned and sat up, remembering where I was and what had happened. My blush growing as I looked down at Selen asleep below me. I slowly got up and put on my blue hoody, trotting to the night stand.

I saw that Selen had left me some notes. 'Had fun.' said the first, the second was double sided. 'Friends?’ I flipped it over ‘With benefits?' I chuckled lightly at that. Then I saw the last note. 'Good ponies are usually Slaves or dead.' That was unsettling, I flipped it over. 'Be careful XOXO.' I put the notes down after writing one myself and trotting out of the room.

I proceeded downstairs, looking for the mare at the entrance. When I heard the sound of a familiar voice. "Good to see you again Pink Thing."

"You too Wall, so I take it you’re here for business, not pleasure?"

"Yes indeed, but first, have you seen a white pony in a jacket or hoody. I sent him your way a while ago."

"Do you mean the cutie with the blue eyes? Well if he came here for business then I'd say he got distracted with pleasure." She gave a light chuckle before continuing. "He and Selen had some noisy fun and ended up sleeping through the whole day and night. Always nice when Selen finds herself a friend."

"She always did enjoy her work, making others feel better in the wastelands, even if it is only for a short time."

"Caps isn't half bad either when she charges folks. Speaking of which, I didn't catch your name dear?"

"Sharp Shot."

As soon as I heard her name and voice I froze, only moving to finish one more step down the stairs. Unfortunately, the step creaked very loudly. I prayed they did not hear that as I ever so slowly tried to back up the stairs. A knocking sound from behind startled me and I ended up jumping forward. While midair I saw that it was Selen, looking at me funny from atop the staircase.

I tried to stop myself with my wings but the hoody constrained them, although I did hear and feel a ripping sound. My hoof slipped on the next step and I ended stumbling down them. Coming to a stop at the base of the stairs, the top half of me laying in the doorway. I slowly looked up to see the three of them.

Pink Thing smiled at me, her curly mane covering half her face. Armored Wall tried to contain his laughter as a few snickers escaped. But I wasn't paying attention to them, no, I was completely focused on Sharp, her face, no, her eyes, showed contempt.

The next thing I knew, all five of us were sitting around the table having tea. But Sharp still had that look in her eye every time she had to look at me. I just wanted to melt into goo and hide somewhere.

"So how was the sex? You two were quite noisy you know," Pink said, looking at me. I didn't dare reply as it felt like that question had shattered me. I slowly creaked my head over to see Sharp death staring me, I felt so small, so tiny, so insignificant.

Selen wrote on her notepad and proceeded to show everyone. 'six/ten good fun, for the first timer.'

Although to the others Sharp must have looked perfectly calm, drinking her tea. But to me she was ablaze with anger and disgust. I looked over to Armored Wall in a plea for help, but the rat bastard chuckled at me.I could see him, looming over me with an evil look in his eye and a snake tongue sticking out between imaginary sharp teeth.

"So Selen, why don't you tell us what you and Star got up to? So Sharp and Armored Wall here get an idea of the service." To my horror, she started to write and write and write.

I laid my head flat on the table as I was crucified in hatred. Every note only intensifying Sharp’s stare at me. I swear I could feel it burning a hole in the back of my head. Every note only made it worse. I wished, no prayed for a second coming of the apocalypse, just to get me out of this situation.

Eventually, after far too many notes in far too much detail, Selen stopped. Getting up to go brew us a second pot of tea, Pink Thing's magic proceeded to glow from her horn, but I was too destroyed to bother to look anywhere. That was until I felt something cold and metal tap me in a recently used place. I shot up straight. That's when I saw Sharp with a dinner knife being held to her throat in a green magic field.

I sat still as I now knew what had touched me. I gulped and remained frozen out of fear of it being cut off. It was then that I noticed Armored Wall also frozen in the same position as me. It wasn't hard to figure out we were in the same situation. We all looked over to Pink Thing, she was sipping tea as her horn glowed green.

"Now you three and I are going to have a little chat sugars." Her words were as calm as ever, tea cup still close to her face. "And if I don't like the answer then I'm afraid pieces of you won't be leaving this building." She was in total control, calm and collected.

Armored Wall was the first one to speak. "Pink, what is the meaning of this? You and I have known each other since Rosenblatt placed a brothel here."

"That we did, and you were one of my most regular customers. But seeing as you got fired for reasons unknown to me, I don't know how trustworthy you are? So I want to know, why? Why were you fired and what's all this ruckus about?" She swung the empty teacup around for emphasis, waiting for his reply.

Armored Wall groaned in displeasure as he thought of what to say. "A week ago the only daughter of Blood Rose, Silver Rose, stole his most prized possession. A Star Core. It's a magical sphere that bestows its user in a demonic rage, giving them untold power. A boiling blood red aura surrounds them as their body rives in pain, only increasing their rage and their power. With this weapon, a single pony could take on a tank, or a clan. The downside is that it strains the user, those who use it generally lose control and die under its effects."

There was a pause before Pink Thing spoke again. "What happened next?" I would have asked more about this Star Core, but with a knife to my balls, I didn't want to risk it.

"Three days ago it seemed that Silver was recaptured by bounty hunters. Although the Star Core was not retrieved. Seeing as I'm not currently being hunted for helping her, I'd say it's safe to assume Blood Rose had yet to find out about that. Even though she is his daughter, I wouldn't put it above him to have her tortured for information. If I had to guess why the Ninety Nine were sent out, I'd have to say they are going to search the area she was captured in. They'd probably be back in a week."

I saw Armored Wall sigh and he relaxed a bit, Pink Thing then turned her attention to Sharp. "Your go dear, what business were you hoping to discuss?"

Sharp remained just as cool and collected as ever. "I was hoping you could point us in the direction of some power armor?"

Pink gave a little chuckle. "Why of course I could, but I'll be needing to know why you wish to proclaim it?"

I looked to Sharp, wondering how much she would proclaim. "I wish to procure some power armor so I may complete a trade agreement and purchase back my brother from the Blim, Blam, Blom brothers."

Pink Thing looked over to me and proceeded to pull the neck on my hood down, revealing my collar. Armoured Wall gave a little chuckle, to which I groaned.

Pink Thing also gave a little chuckle at me. "Hehe, Selen did always have a kink for slaves. Sweet and all seeing as you're helping your brother."

Pink lowered the knife away from Sharp’s throat. "So you'll help us?"

"Certainly, right after I finish interacting with your brother." Pink turned to me, eyeing me with her one uncovered eye. I gulped nervously. "What are your intentions with Selen?" before her tone had been friendly and calm, but towards me, they were much more threatening and hostile.

A light tap of cold steel and I started to talk, saying whatever popped into my head. "I don't know! But she said she wants to be friends!" I calmed down as she pulled the knife away and smiled at me.

"Good, just don't make the mistake of falling in love with a prostitute. Cadence knows so many have made the mistake of seeing love where there isn't any."

"Ok, I'll keep that in mind," I said, sighing in relief.

Pink leaned back and checked my back before a knife swatted at me in a blur of green. Luckily I leaped back instinctively, my wings trying to spread out to help me, but there was a loud ripping sound as one of my wings had broken through the hole I had forgotten about. I dove for the door when a knife shot into the frame in front of my face. I could see my eyes' reflection in it.

Pink shouted. "Pegasus!" her horn flaring up for another knife shot. But nothing came. I looked to see Sharp’s magic holding the knives firmly in place.

A sudden and unexpected crash from the doorway leading into the kitchen got our attention. Selen stood there on hind legs, looking quite mad. A broken teapot laid on the floor, smashed to get our attention. Sharp released her magic and everyone relaxed a bit, even Pink Thing. Selen walked over to me and stood between myself and Pink Thing.

"You knew?!" Pink Thing said, confused, yet angry, glaring at Selen.

Selen nodded as she glared back at Pink.

"But he's a filthy Pegasus?!"

Selen just pulled out her notepad and wrote a reply. Although from where I was I couldn't see it, I was not willing to risk moving.

"Good Pony? Friend? But he's a Pegasus!" Pink Thing groaned and shut her eyes in annoyance, before opening them. "You three get out, I have to talk to Selen in private."

Star and Armored Wall prompted to stand up and wait outside the building. I too was about to leave when Pink Thing walked over to me, Selen keeping an eye on her. She pulled out the knife in front of me and whispered into my ear. "If she wasn't here I would have made myself a Cap pouch from your ball sack. Now get the hell out of my building and don't come back."

With that motivation I prompted to leave, looking back at Selen for confirmation that she'd be ok. She smiled at me and nodded. I was almost through the door when I stopped. "What about the power armor?" Selen passed me a note she just finished writing and I left, the door slamming shut behind me.

Outside, I slipped my wing back under the hood and read the note out loud. "Stable fifty-one, Minute-Mare raiders"

Armored Wall groaned, obviously knowing who or what it was. "This is not going to be easy."

"Why not? Who are they and what's Stable Fifty-one?" I asked.

Armored Wall groaned as he facehoofed before going through his bag and pulling out a lollipop and started to suck on it. "She's my Ex."

"Are you two on good terms?"

After a long pause, Armored Wall replied, "No."

Armored Wall groaned and started trotting back towards the Bar/elevator. He seemed more annoyed than before, so we stayed quiet. Unfortunately, after getting into the bar and back down to level three, we ended up bumping into Blom, literally.

'Thud'

"Watch it, Oh it's you." Blom stood up as he blocked the elevator exit with his skinny frame.

The impact didn't even faze Armored Wall or his mood. "Move," he commanded in a strict voice.

Blom glanced up and down Armored’s figure, taking note of his serious mood, before moving aside, allowing us to pass. We followed Armored wall back to his table. It was occupied, but that was past tense. With an angry glare, they quickly got out of Armored Wall’s way. All three of us sat around the table as the bitter mood soured the air. But at least it kept the annoying pest known as Blom away.

The mood got so bad that I found myself moving over to the bar, slouching over onto it. Sharp stayed with the grumpy stallion as Blom decided to trot over to me. We ignored each other, but I found myself watching as he poured himself a drink from an unlabeled, strange looking green bottle. He promptly put it away and began to drink, an expression of disgust on his face as he clearly struggled to keep it down.

Once he finished, coughing lightly I asked. "What was that?"

He wiped his muzzle with a hoof and smiled at me. "An elixir."

"Elixir?"

He grabbed my face, squishing my cheeks. "Why not just any elixir, but the elixir of life." Blom pulled out a different bottle, this one was a funny looking green bottle, it had a label that read 'Elixir Of Life' printed in fancy writing.

Blom grabbed me and sat me down in front of a wooden wall before dimming the lights and going over to a light on the wall. He pulled it and the wall fell in, revealing a stage. There was a flood of light as three spotlights illuminated the center. Blim, Blam, and Blom stood next to each other.

I groaned. "I no… A song."

Music started to play from a speaker at the back of the stage as the brothers started their choreographed dance number.

Still at their table, now in the dark, Sharp and Wall decided to voice their opinion. "The Blim Blam Blom Brothers. This should be interesting." "Eeyup."

Blim appeared next to me and nudged me.

Blim pointed to my bandaged hooves.

"Shut up!" I yelled.

I jumped up. "I'm broke and I'm not going to buy your elixir crap! Besides, there's no Cadence fucking a chandelier way that you three have kids!" I yelled at them.

It was only after seeing their shocked faces that I realized I had yelled at ponies who held my life in their hooves. I looked around to see everyone, Sharp and Armored Wall, looking at me. I simply sighed and sat back down. Two of the brothers simply left as quickly as they appeared, leaving Blom and me at the bar. He proceeded to pull out a photo from under the counter.

Cadence orgy fucking crystal dicked dragons. It was a fucking picture of the fucking Lily Sisters as foals with fucking Blim, Blam, and Blom. Fucking fuckity fuck, fuck, FUCK! I just slammed my face into the counter as I screamed in my head.

"Yep, they're our girls. Daughter of one Grand Lily, love of me and my brother. Rest her soul, Cadence knows her hips didn't," he snickered as I tried not to gag. "We're so proud of them. I think they're Slavers in Slave Town." He raised an eyebrow as he looked at me. "You met them when you tore through there? You better not have hurt our babies? Did you?"

I just stumbled over to Sharp, having more than enough of this brahmin shit. "Hey, Sharp did I kill the Lily Sisters?"

"The ones who tricked you into slavery and then had to buy you back from?" she remarked.

I just groaned. "Eeyup."

Sharp scratched her chin, thinking. "Hmm, No. They left the post office after peppering it with bullets."

"That's my girls!" Blom exclaimed from the bar.

I looked to Armored Wall, seeing his mood has improved. "Can we go now?"

The large pony, who had now finished three more lollipops, stood up. "We need to grab some things from my place if you're going to see my Ex."

Back at his place, Armored Wall collected a variety of things, screws, bolts, wires and so on. "You know how to build and fix things kid?" Armored Wall asked me as he was focused on collecting what looked like weapon parts.

"Um well yea. If it’s a gun I should be able to assemble and repair it?" Sharp and I just watched the large dark orangey rust colored stallion move gracefully and swiftly through his small home.

He dropped a big glob of white clay on the table. "How about bombs?"

I cringed a little, remembering my scars and sickness brought on by a dirty bomb in the raider base. "Uhh, I'm not a fan."

Armored Wall snorted and prompted to dig through a drawer and pull out a blue piece of paper. "Read this, then build it," he said as he pushed it to my chest.

After reading it I saw that it was in fact a blueprint for a magic explosive clay bomb. It appeared to be just two parts, explosive magic infused clay and a magic gem that would detonate the clay when triggered or broken. It looked like the gem was made to activate when it received a magic wave signal from a detonator. This would then start a timer in the gem or just detonate it, depending on the magic in the gem itself.

"Magic clay bombs?" I asked.

Armored Wall just grunted what I assumed was a yes, as he seemed to have almost all the bits and pieces of a weapon of some kind. Sharp began to build bombs as I realized that Armoured Wall was assembling the pieces of a missile launcher, albeit a hot pink missile launcher. After gathering all the bits and pieces he prompted to pull a missile out from under his bed.

Sharp grabbed a bag and was heading for the door before Armored Wall joined her. "Star, I want you to build as many bombs as you can." Sharp stated.

"Where are you two going?"

Armored Wall groaned as he spat out a lollipop-less stick from his mouth. "Out, now I want that missile launcher assembled by the time we get back."

Before I could ask further questions the two of them were out the door, the last thing they said was, "Don't blow up the place."

The two of them took far too long. I was finished in under an hour. Only breaking one gem after dropping it on my head when I tried to examine it against a light. Thirty-two magical clay bombs molded. One pink missile launcher assembled and restored to peak working condition. Although I was very tempted to test it with the ominous missile just sitting next to Armored Wall’s bed.

I looked at my hooves and wings. They had small clumps of magic clay stuck to my bandages, turning them into casts, while I had larger clumps sticking in my wings. I even had little bits of detonating gems in my mane. To be honest it were days since I washed up and given all that had happened, a shower would have been lovely, hell I would have even begrudgingly accepted a bath at this point. Especially when you have explosive in your coat and its detonator in your mane.

I recalled Sharp saying she had the keys to a fancy room in some hotel on the top. But I had forgotten to ask so I decided to look in Armored Wall’s bathroom. A sponge on a stick. With a bucket filled with what I could only assume was water, although it looked dirtier than me. I decided to pass.

It was now sunset, Sharp and Armored Wall finally returned. Armored Wall was carrying all the bags as the two walked in. Before I could even ask what was in the bags, Armored Wall dropped them, glaring at the pink missile launcher with annoyance. I, however, decided to look in the bags. One set of leather reinforced blue and yellow jumpsuit with the number fifty-one emblazoned on it.

"What's this?"

Sharp picked it up in her magic for me to see. "It's a Stable fifty-one barding, the key to our plan."

I tilted my head. "Mind filling me in on this plan?"

Sharp gave a light chuckle before shaking her head, "You'll just have to trust me."

I groaned as I sighed and sat down. "Fine."

I checked through the other bag and found ammo for Sharp’s rifle, my SMG and lever rifle, as well as a small tin of pills. I took out the container and held it in my wings as I inspected it. Party Time Mint-als, refresh your breath and your mind. Was written on the pink tin, the images of bits of some smiling zebra long since faded off the metal.

"I want you to take that before we start the plan, just in case something goes wrong," Sharp said as she picked up the ammo bag.

"How will fresh breath help me?"

"It's more than just a dumb mint, it’s a drug that's meant to help one with their charisma and intelligence," Armored Wall said as he picked up the explosives and the missile launcher. "Now let's go, time is of the essence."

“If we don't get that power armor and back before the Ninety Nine return, we won't have a chance of getting to Blood Rose," Sharp stated, at this point, all three of us trotted back to the bar and were about to ride the elevator up when we were stopped.

Blom stood in our way. "Don't forget, you leave the city and your collar will activate. You'll have twelve hours to get back in range, or boom," Blom said, a little smirk on his face, as he moved out of our way.

The streets of Iron Gem were a lot less busy in the afternoon. As we made our way through the city and roads, I couldn't help but look to the sky, hoping to see Selen again. Eventually, we trotted across one of the great bridges, this time it was back over the one we had come from when first entering the city. I couldn't help but look at the abyss between the gaps in the metal bridge.

I thought I saw something staring back at me. I slowed to focus on it when a beep from the collar broke my concentration. The light had turned orange. We all stopped to look at it, then back at Iron Gem. Before continuing on our journey to Stable fifty-one. Before we reached the end of the bridge Armored Wall gave Sharp some magic explosives, as well as the missile launcher and a missile. Sharp didn't seem to have an issue carrying it, but I still took the kinda heavy missile launcher off her.

Missile launchers tend to be quite powerful. But the treasure thingy Armored Wall talked about before sounded way more powerful. "Hey Armored Wall, what is the treasured item you were talking about before?"

We got from the end of the bridge to the outer gate. Armored Wall was stopped at the exit of the bridge by two guards. "You are to remain confined in Iron Gem under orders, Mr. Wall, Sir."

"What's this about?" I asked, looking at the armed guards.

"Don't worry about it, I'll wait for you two back at my house." Armored Wall turned around before looking back at us with a tired smile. "I'll tell you about it when you get back if you do. Try not to die out there kiddies."

Sharp gestured for us to go forward, so we did. The guards paid us little mind, ignoring the pink missile launcher. We proceeded to our wagon, which was next to the gate. It seemed that the guards kept it safe, although the brahmin that pulled it seemed to have vanished.

We jumped into the wagon and proceeded to grab all our stuff from the wagon. The knife, crank rifle and SMG. It was then that I saw it, Candy's music box. But next to it was a point thirty-two snub-nosed revolver, a dried red stain on it.

The gun candy…

I bit my lip as I grabbed the music box and the rest of my things. Then Sharp jumped in to grab a few things. Off we went to go to a Vault full of experienced mercenaries to ask them for a set of power armor. With a load of explosives and a missile launcher. I really hoped we wouldn't have to use any of them. Hopefully Sharp will be able to negotiate with the Minute-Mares and Armored Wall's ex-girlfriend.

I followed Sharp as she lead the way. Sharp trotted through the snow as I flew behind her, having to rip wing holes in the blue hoody. I was actually cold, mainly because this stupid hood wasn't designed for snow, unlike my jacket. My mind wandered into nothing as we kept moving, when a sudden gunshot snapped me out of it.

I looked to see it was Sharp with that gun, Candy's gun. She held it in her magical field as she pointed it forward. I couldn't bring myself to take my eyes off that gun. I dropped to my hooves as tears began to run, remembering Candy. I brought myself to look in front of Sharp.

Candy… she sat there with a hole in her face, blood and gray matter pouring out of her mouth, eyes, and wound. "S~star… why?"

My lip trembled as I felt my heart sink. I blinked as I took a step forward. When I opened my eyes she was gone. In her place laid a crystal bunny in a pool of blood, contrast to the snow. Its fur was as white as the snow. But it turned crimson as it bled from a glowing red hole in its side, as a reddish white smoke rose from its wound. It was dead.

I looked back to see Sharp holding, not a point thirty-two revolver but her crank magic rifle. "Brother? Are you ok?" She asked as she looked at me with concern.

I quickly wiped my tears away and replied, "Yea, just bad memories." giving her a big smile to try and reassure her. She glared at me before pulling something out of her bag. Candy's music box. I froze as I just looked at it. She began to turn the little handle with her magic.

"…don't…" I whispered under my breath as it started to play its soothing melody.

My body began to quiver as my eyes welled up and I began to ball my eyes out. Falling to my rear as I just sat there and cried. Sharp walked over to me, still playing the music, and hugged me.

"It's ok to cry," she said as I just let it all out. I only stopped when I felt something damp my hoody’s backside. Sharp hugged me tighter and repeated herself. "It's ok to cry."

I remained silent as Sharp, my strong independent sister began to cry. I embraced her as she cried louder, burying her face into my shoulder. I stroked her mane to comfort her as she let out all her bottled emotion. Like Dark said, bottling your emotions like that wasn't good. Eventually though Sharp stopped and pulled off of me.

She mumbled, "Sorry." as she looked down.

I wiped my eyes as I gave her a genuine smile. "There's nothing to be sorry about."

She just started trotting forward, head low. Apologizing again. "…Sorry." before proceeding to pick up the dead rabbit before putting it in her bag.

The next hour or so was a fairly quiet trip as nothing was said. To help break the silence and lighten up the mood, Sharp decided to turn on her Pip-Buck radio. She switched it to Kindly's radio channel and we listened to the music.

Mr. Kindly’s soothing voice played through the speakers. "Would you kindly listen to what I have to say kiddies. I have a report of that little blue bird swooping into Slave Town and tearing it up. Now while I don't condone slavery, it was a legal business under the clan of Blood Skull." A booing sound played.

"That being said, our little blue bird has a target on his back now, so please be careful. So I'll leave the rest of my listeners with some words of wisdom before our next song. Would you kindly try to stay safe and help others? Remember slaves are living things, not property. Here's Octavia and Piano Keys with 'Moonlight Sonata.'"

I'm not the biggest fan of classical music, but there is something sad about Moonlight Sonata. It seemed like a story with aches. Like it was trying to tell a tale of sadness morphed into chaos.

Two hours later, we arrived at our destination. A dark looking cave, although down in the darkness we saw a light illuminating a door in the distance, squinting I saw that it was a giant gear with the numbers fifty-one on it. I was about to step forward when Sharp stopped me.

"Wait."

"What? The doors right there, let's go," I said, pointing to the door.

"I need to get ready, wait here," Sharp said as she proceeded to walk behind some rocks.

"Agh, don't take too long." I ended up sitting there waiting for Sharp.

Eventually Sharp came back, this time she wore the skin tight jumpsuit Armored Wall gave her. "How do I look?" Sharp asked with a wave of her hair.

Ahh, Stupid sexy jumpsuit. Why, why did you have to be on my sister?! "A… fine," I said as I looked away, not wanting her to see me blush.

Sharp picked up the missile launcher in her magic and began to load it. "Ok, everything's ready."

"Ready for what? You still haven't told me about the plan."

Sharp then proceeded to take the explosives and detonator. "I need you to knock on the door then surrender to them."

"What? Can I get a little more info."

Sharp pointed at my explosive fashion statement. "No time, remember we only have nine hours to get back and it’s a three hour trip. So you're just going to have to trust me."

I groaned and picked up the pink missile launcher and walked a bit closer to the door. I then smirked as I stood on my hind legs and took aim. To think before I would never have done something so risky. I would have been worried and overthinking things. But my faith in my sister gave me strength and although brief, my meeting with Stock also helped. Although deep down I was still a little worried.

"Knock, Knock." I fired, a light kick and the rocket whooshed down the cave. It left a trail of smoke before there was a flash and a thunderous boom.
