"Good morning Gunner" Sky Fighter's voice sounded inside my head, I opened my one working eye and looked around, still attached to this damned machine.

"What do you want?.." I asked in disgust.

"Tone... Damn it boy, thought you were more polite" Sky Fighter said into a microphone next to him, and that microphone was connected to my head..or the helmet I was connected to was connected to the microphone.

"What's the deal with this crap?" I asked, trying to pull my hooves out of their restraints.

"Well... I have a work for you.." He replied.

"No.." I hissed.

"You didn't even heard it" Sky Fighter countered.

"Still no..." I frowned

"Too bad... I thought you wanted to know what happened to Rose.." Sky Fighter said incidentally.

"Rose? What happened to her?" My eyes widened.

"Sorry boy, you didn't wanted the job" Sky Fighter said and walked away.

"No! wait!.." I called out.

"What?" Sky Fighter had a devilish smile on his face.

I sighed, "Fine... You won... What do you want me to do?" I surrendered.

You're weak!.

"Full control over your body for ten years.." Sky Fighter told me.

"Ten years?... What do you want me to do in ten years?!" I screamed.

"I see... I'll let you think about that..." Sky Fighter said and entered the elevator in the end of the lab, leaving me alone.

Ten years... He wants my body for ten years... What does he wants me to do?... Kill raiders?... Tear his goddesses damned balls off of him?...

Ten years are too much to give up... And he might even lie about Rose! According to Storm he isn't a very honest pony, but he knows something about Rose... Can I give up the slight chance of knowing better about what happened to her? In return of ten years of my life.  still can't figure out why he wants me to pay ten years of my life... What will he do to me in those ten years? Will I die after those years?...

I looked around and saw the expirements the doctor had... They all looked so cruel and pshycotic... Nightmare fuel for days right here...

I let my memories to flush my mind, the good days with Rose and Shrapnel and Custard... I already lost Caliber, and Custard looked so sad about that... She didn't showed it too much, but I could see she is took it bad... At least she died with Shrapnel... They were cute together... Rose probably thought I'll come down there and save them in any second... But I never showed up...

I need to stop thinking about them for now... But what else?... Every single pony I knew from my life inside the stable is now dead, and I'm now captive in this fucked up lab, thinking about giving up ten years from my life to the pshyco who captured me.

I fell asleep and woke up to the sound of the elevator's doors opening again, and Sky Fighter stepping out, looking calm.

"Well?.." Sky Fighter asked.

"What do you know about Rose?" I frowned.

"You are one impatient pegasus aren't you?... Well, I'll let you know all I can liberate without spoiling anything..." Sky Fighter said wealky, like he's talking to himself.

"Spoil? You think I am playing around?!" I shouted and tried to free my hooves, the restraint didn't budged.

"Definetly not" Sky Fighter replied sarcasticly.

"Why do you need me?" I asked.

"I don't" Sky Fighter chuckled.

"What? So what's this all about?" I barked.

"Because I can force you to do that" Sky Fighter smiled and clicked on his PipBuck, the restraints that held my hooves opened and I fell on my face on the cold ground. My legs moved on their own and got me up, I looked toward Sky Fighter and wanted to charge him... But my hooves just stayed still.

"What have you done to me?!" I tried to force my hooves to move, I couldn't.

"You're under my full control, I don't need ten years now... I can use you until the end of days" Sky Fighter looked smug.

"When I get my hooves on you..." I hissed.

"You won't; you can't even control your own body now" Sky Fighter smirked.

"Fuck you.." I whispered under my breath.

"Regreting about the little spoiler I talked about?" Sky Fighter laughed wryly.

"Fucking bitch!" I screamed and momenterily regained control over my body, pouncing forwards Sky Fighter.

I was mid-air when I felt the same electrecution from before, my body smacked against the floor and twitched uncontrollably in pain at the hooves of Sky Fighter.

"Bad dog" Sky Fighter sounded amused, the electrecution stopped and I started panting heavily.

"What are you planning to do with me?" I asked angrily.

"I can always kill you... But it's a shame, you're one of a kind; A pegasus... With you on my side I could find more pegasi and add them to my army, the options are endless!" Sky Fighter sounded like he realized something. "Together... You and I... We can rule Equestria and restore this forasken wastes to something better... Even more then two hundred years ago... I'll be a god!" Sky Fighter lectured.

"Equestria to phsyco, reality calls..." I whispered sarcasticly.

"Oh don't worry Gunner, you'll be a god none the less then me..." Sky Fighter told me, my hooves suddenly got my body up and walked after Sky Fighter toward the elevator, I tried to move freely, maybe buck him in the face.... But nothing.

"Don't worry Gunner, my face is pretty sore already..." Sky Fighter said, making my eyes widen at this.

What?!

"The doctor haven't told you eh?" Sky Fighter stopped in his tracks and looked at me "We are one Gunner, you and me... I know everything you're thinking...".

Motherfucker!

"Uhp-Uhp-Uhp!... Language!" Sky Fighter answered my thoughts...

He knew everything I knew?...

"That's right, the helmet from earlier? It connected you to me, we are the same pony in two bodies" Sky Fighter laughed, pressed on a button on his PipBuck and walked toward the elevator, and I was forced to walk after him.

This is sick! This is more then sick! I'm not a part of him! I think I'm about to throw up... Wait, can he hear me?... Hey! faggot!... Can you hear me?!... No. He can't...Did he lied?..

"I can't believe you think I'll let you do this" I hissed as we entered the elevator.

"Gunner, you can't do anything against it" Sky Fighter reminded me.

"Why me?" I asked, a bit calmer now.

"You're one of a kind, you got three out of four requirements we need, cyborg, no enternal connections, young and an Alicorn... But you aren't an Alicorn... Shame that we haven't found Storm's kid yet" Sky Fighter explained. "But you got wings, and that's enough"

"What do you mean haven't found Storm's kid yet?... He's alive?" I was surprised.

"So you did met him, yeah... The bastard ran away from our forces, but we'll find him.." Sky Fighter said.

The elevator stopped and Sky Fighter stepped out of it, my body uncontrollably followed him, we walked in a wide and clean corridor with some doors in both sides of the corrido, alot of important-looking ponies walked around and eye-balled me... Can I please be in one place without being forced around by a unicorn?..

"Sky Fighter, sir?" A young unicorn mare in a lab coat stopped us, she looked nervously at me and then looked back at Sky Fighter, she levitated a clipboard next to her and started showing him some buckshit that didn't interested me...

"Yes Doc?" Sky Fighter asked.

"Squad H-7 is in need of supplies immediatly and generator six,seven and forteen stopped working last night, what are your orders?" the mare told him and showed him some details on her clipboard.

"Tell H-7 that the supply line is disrupted now but they'll get the proper supplies in two days top, and about the generators..do I need to do everything myself?... Fix them!" Sky Fighter looked stressed and pissed off.

"But sir, they were sabotaged." the mare stammered.

"Sabotaged?... Fuck...put extra guards on the generator rooms for a month, order them to arrest everypony that have nothing to do there" Sky Fighter said quickly, like he tried to shake her off.

"Yes sir.." the mare stammered as Sky Fighter pushed her aside and walked forward.

"Celestia damn it they need somepony to tell them how to shit..." Sky Fighter whispered to me.

"Sounds like fun.." I chuckled under my breath.

"What was that?.." Sky Fighter asked

"Nothing... Just coughing..." I said back innocently.

Sky Fighter raised an eyebrow and continued walking, my body walked after him unconrtollably. Sky Fighter telekineticly opened a door at the end of the hall and entered inside with me following him, the door closed behined us. the room was huge, it was filled with portraits and art of Sky Fighter all over, plants shaped like him, statues...somepony here has a massive ego...

"Huh?.." Sky Fighter asked me smugly, walking around and looking proud at his office.

I thought I was about to puke, but then got back to the living and said sarcasticly "At least you have some respect to a certain pony..."

Sky Fighter chuckled wryly and walked slowly closer to me, he put a hoof on my shoulder and I tried so shake it off..of course I couldn't... "Gunner, how long do you think it'll take for you to accept this situation?.."

"Quiet some time.." I replied with a challenging grin.

"Too bad" Sky Fighter said sarcasticly "It won't matter for me though"

"Enjoying playing with my body as your puppet?" I hissed.

"Pretty much" Sky Fighter whispered under his sigh, he looked at his PipBuck and played around with it. I was forced to stay in place and look around at the disgusting decoration, at least it wasn't my PipBuck he used... He'll be dead if it was..

"So why'd you brought me up here?" I asked, assuming he waited for me to ask it eventually.

"Glad you asked, I need to see how lethal you can be before we advance with your big plans" Sky Fighter said, clicking on his PipBuck and smiling his devilish smile.

"Oh trust me when I say I'm lethal..." I whispered to myself as my vision went completly off, but I was still awake... I felt a buck on my front knees and I fell on my face, another buck sent my whole body crushing against something metalic.

"Take him to the circle, I want to see what he can really do" Sky Fighter's voice sounded as I was suddenly levitated, I heard hoof steps behined me and my body floated for a while... Still can't see shit...

"Good luck, you'll fucking need it" A stallion said as I was dropped on my face, my one normal eye regained vision... My right eye still not working, I was facing a metal garage door, a closed and dark room was my surrounding.

"Let's get ready for another fight!" An announcer-sounding voice came from the other side of the door, the door shook a bit and I heard cheering and shouting all around... What is this place anyways?

"We got a sweet surprise for you little fillies and foals... We got our hooves on a pegasus... But not every pegasi: a stable cyborg!" The same voice screamed, I felt the voice vibration inside my chest. the garage door opened and I saw myself inside a round shaped arena with a few crates and obstacles scattered around, ontop of the circled walls there were dozens of cheering ponies, foals, mares, soldier-looking ponies... Are they enjoying this kind of entertainment?..

"Let the bloodshed begin!" the announcer declared, followed by cheering and roaring from the crowd.

"What the fuck.." was all I could say, they all wanted me to hurt ponies?... For no reason?... I looked at another garage door at the other end of the round arena... There was a mare... She looked so weak and starved... They want me to fight her?..

"Please don't hurt me.." She mouthed with tears in her eyes.

This... This is just sick!... I won't hurt a pony!... Not an innocent one...

"No!" I shouted upwards at the crowd, looking around "I won't hurt her for your amusment!" I screamed.

"Looks like we got ourselves a mole of a pegasus... let's add some salt to the salad shall we?" The announcer declared, the crowd shouted in cheers. The mare trotted in a random direction as a big, filthy and threatning pony stepped out from where she was a second ago.

"I won't fucking kill anypony!"

The sick bastards actually think I'll kill a threatning looking pony...he haven't done shit to me...

"Let's swat a fly..." The big stallion said in a deep voice..he sounded very...fucking dumb.

"Like I haven't heard that before..." I countered, he huffed angrily and charged toward me, I move aside and tried to flap my wings, but they didn't moved; Right, paralyzed...

I avoided his first charge, he turned around and prepared himself for another charge, this time he tried to corner me somewhere, but it's probably a problem with a round arena... He tried to buck me and headbutt me, but I was able to avoid his attacks, even with my robotic and very heavy hindleg, and with no depth perception...

"Stay... Still... Bitch...." The stallion grunted, he was getting tired by now.

"I won't fight you.." I said, avoiding his bucks, at least trying to... Fucking robotic hindleg...

"Well... You... Should..." The giant buck was panting now, I was surprised about my abillity to avoid so many attacks without making a single mistake...

I haven't even used S.A.T.S!... I jumped away from a buck he tried to hit me with, I rolled and landed on my hooves, looking at him charging at me again. I jumped once again and the giant buck slammed his head against the concrete wall of the arena.

"That was... something apperantly..." I panted heavily after the whole dodging and rolling thing. I poked the motionless body of the buck... he didn't woke up... Did I just killed him?..

"Looks like we got a true contestant, let's see how he handles a real challenge!" The announcer's voice bombarted and I heard a deep horn's sound, followed by the door infront of me opening and revealing a few weird beasts with brown fur, red eyes and razor sharp teeth, my E.F.S tagged them as 'Mole-Rats'.

The Mole-rats charged me and I quickly realized that there are still a few that I can't see, but my E.F.S can, the six I could see were swarming and climbing on me, trying to bite my flesh off of me, I bucked them all off and stomped accidently the head of one of them, breaking his skull and splattering his brain everywhere, there were now eight red dots on my E.F.S, and they were mostly hiding, because after I killed that one Mole-rat, they all burrowed inside the dirt and vanished, but not for my Eyes-Forward Sparkle, good thing it can still tag them.

The next Mole-rat that I could see launched itself from his hole and straight on my face, a deja-vu of the RadRoach from Stable 154 replayed in my mind, this time I was more calm and fighting against less bug-ish beast, hate bugs... I gave a hard upper-cut to the stomach of the Mole-rat, flinging it in the air and turning around to buck him with my robotic-leg, dislocating it's spine and neck the second my robotic-leg touched it.

Three Mole-rats coordinated their attack and clawed my hide and face, I panicked and jerked around for a few seconds, taking a deep breath and trying to enter S.A.T.S, just to tap the PipBuck's grayed out option of S.A.T.S, I insinctivly ducked when one of them pounced on me, missing me and slamming into another Mole-rat, I charged and bucked the one lone Mole-rat, killing it on the spot and moving to another that launched from the ground right infront of me, I head-butted the Mole-rat and then swung my robotic-leg at him, getting a squeal of death from the little creature, the two awkwardly fallen Mole-rats looked at me angrily when I stomped on them with my forehooves and hearing their bones cracking underneath me.

The three remaining red dots on my E.F.S, they were all around me, but none were visible to my very eyes, I heard them moving under the ground and squeaking their wicked squeak, I turned to every little sound and finally thought about how to get them out, I bent my head closer to one of the holes and screamed "Hello" in the strongest voice I could, the three Mole-rats jumped from the very holes one after the other, each one I slammed back down with my robotic-leg, best game of whack-a-mole ever played.

"We got a winner!!" the announcer declared, I looked at the crowd, they were cheering and stomping in applause..

"Fucking animals..." I spat in disgust, watching the tens of hundreds of ponies watching me for fun... I heard hoof steps behined me and saw two guards trotting toward me from the garage door... I have no problem hurting those ponies..

"Restrain him, now!" one shouted as I pounced at him, ready to hurt them out of pure anger. I felt a zapping feeling crawling on my neck, quickly after my whole body was electrecuted... Again...

"Let's take him.." The other guard said and levitated me with his telekinetic, all of their guards were unicorns?... Or is that a magical HUD helmet?... I floated beside them, still feeling the tingling feeling of the electric shock, the guards levitated me to the same hall I was earlier with Sky Fighter, they entered the same room... The one with the never ending portraits and statues of Sky Fighter...

"What... We put him here?... Just like that?..." One guard asked as they entered, the room was empty...

"I dunno, that's our orders" The other replied, sounding as confident as the first.

"Hope we won't get fucked 'cuz of that.." The first said as they put me on the floor and walked outside, locking me inside.

I got up and looked around, this time I could walk around the room... The door looked solid enough to survive even a spray from my battle saddle... The one I lost..

It's the second battle saddle I've lost already!... Wait: I'm not in a stable anymore... Dunno if that supposed to relieve me or not...

"Well, guess I'm alone here.." I whispered, walking around and searching for anything too suspicious... I saw a terminal in the corner of my vision, I quickly turned it on and saw what it can tell me... I picked a random non-crypted entry and played it.

"Entry 1754- I have a plan for taking on the Nightmare clan, they keep on growing and Storm in the north ain't doing shit to stop them, well... With that small army and limited equipment, I guess it is somewhat logical, though I won't let Twilight Camp fall to the clan's hooves just because Storm can't order his soldiers to stay cautious"

"Entry 1755- Storm's troops got ambushed by a few of the clan's soldiers near Twilight Camp, they were butchered like I expected they would... But this pony... A pegasus, he sweeped over and fought exactly the opposite from what I'd call an Outcast tactic, he did got blown up by a rocket launcher quickly after... Intel suggests he didn't survived, shame... I could use such fearless pony in my army"

I'm pretty alive last time I checked...

"Entry 1756- Apperantly the pegasus survived, and he isn't any pegasi, he is a special one... A Stable dweller... From Stable 154, the same Stable that we knew would be wiped out by the clan, two questions are crossing my mind right now, the first is how he survived the initial attack. Second question is why is he helping out an Outcast camp, I did heard he helped out a soldier from Twilight Camp a few days ago. I need to research about him more"

"Entry 1757- Gunner, this is the name of the pegasus, DJ Pon3 is already talking about him on the radio... Making him a 'hero'... And what I did this all years?... Sat on my ass and ate canned beans?!... This fucking DJ at TenPony Tower... He got something for Stable dwellers that's for sure, just because their ancestors pussied-out two centuries ago dosen't make them heros for leaving their comfy Stables and dealing with the shit we all deal with since we are foals!.. Anyways, he's a special one, I can feel it..."

Special one?... I'm just a regular fucking pegasus!... Nothing's special about me... And who's DJ Pon3?...

"Entry 1758- Storm's already using his handy pegasus friend, probably feeding him lies about how bad I am... He knows well why I did what I did, he is using him to clear out the shipment we lost a few days ago, fucking road bandits... Although they might be recruited by the clan... This clan is more then mindless ponies with craving for blood and rape, they're being lead by somepony who knows his shit, somepony with a target. And the target is Twilight Camp, if Twilight Camp will retrieve the shipment they would be slaughtered, I need to stop them... But that Gunner... He might be usefull just after he had lost his first 'master'. If he's working for Storm in that frequency... He need to lose his past life for that... I hate to be the villian of the piece, but that might be the only way to make Gunner work for me, he need fuel to work for me... And anger is the best fuel I can give him..."

"Entry 1759- Storm's family was found hostage in that shipment... I don't know how I am supposed to feel about this... I'm happy he found his family, but this is a bad timing, the shipment had a value for the clan, and they won't give it up so easily... I need to ready my soldiers to sweep in and cover the camp ASAP"

"Entry 1760- Two Vultures found Gunner flying in my air space, I ordered them to stop him and speak about my plans for him. For all I know, shit got real before anything happened, I got more info about Gunner, good thing Seth Shadow is deployed there... Gunner got three other friends from Stable 154... He got feelings for one of them../ Like real sexual attraction and stuff, guess I got another way to fuel Gunner, not even caring about the results it might do for Gunner, I need a way to nevigate him toward my target."

Seth Shadow?... The goddesses damn him!

"Entry 1761- More info about Gunner, his friend Rose, Stable 154's Overmare... Gotta say she is quiet the looker, hope he got some time with her, because I doubt they'll survive alot in this wastes...."

I exited the enetries, tears in my eye... He followed me this entire time?... I remembered I can download entries into my PipBuck, so I downloaded the whole terminal's memory, including the one thousand and so crypted ones, more info won't hurt me... Too much...

I walked around and saw a mirror, I saw my robotic eye... My face looked bruised and filled with cuts... I had my Stable 154 barding...

What?! how the fuck... Am I imagining?... This is certainly a nightmare; I would wake up any second now, Rose is still alive... Custard and Shrapnel are still alive... This whole thing is just a dream...

No, it's not a dream..even in my dreams I won't imagine Rose dead... This is reality, this is real life, this is the fucking buckshit I'm in. I turned my head a bit and saw the metalic railing on my neck, wielded to my hide, some blood still coated it. The robotic eye was connected to the railing, I looked at the robotic eye and tried to figure out how it is working... I concentrated and tried to blink my right eye, nothing...I tried again, this time harder. The eye blinked with red light for a second, but still can't see anything, I tampered little bit with it like I saw Claws doing, after adjusting the eye I tried to activate it again, this time it worked!.. It felt like a regular eye, nothing defferent... Maybe I can get some more info from the entries?...

"Entry 1762- Gunner was shot down by a Vulture, and somehow still living and breathing, just makes me wonder more what is his secret... Is he a super pony?... A mutant?... Anyways, beside Gunner. The clan is advancing toward Twilight Camp, and they got alot of fire power this time, machines and weapons and equipment we never saw they had before, I ordered five Vultures, ten Armored Personaly carriers and fifteen of my heavy armored units to be on ready as soon as they march down through 'Dead-Trap', we will eliminate them before they could get close enough to Twilight Camp"

"Entry 1763- Fucking untrusty snakes. I was informed they tried to kill Gunner when he corssed the air space, I excuted the squad leader Cable an hour ago, fucking bloody dogs... I can't let him die, he is too important for my test... If he'll be contacted by... By him... Just then I'll know that he is what I need..."

"Entry 1764- Nightmare clan is on Twilight Camp's door step, we got our elites deployed to save the day, they're ordered are to extract everypony they can, with priority to Gunner..."

I stopped the entries, fucking enough of this... I heard somepony enter the room and quickly shutted down my PipBuck, I looked at the entrance and saw Sky Fighter... He looked calm...

"Peak-a-boo!" he sang out sarcasticly.

"Very fucking funny" I answered, holding myself from attacking him.

"You were a good boy while I was busy, right?" he asked, I swear to the goddesses...

"Yes.." I hissed, shaking and barely staying in place, wanting to bash his skull into the wall, wait..can he hear me?..

"I see you're trying to control yourself, that's very impressive you accepted it so fast, I thought you'll be a spear in the ass..." Sky Fighter admitted.

"Isn't it a 'pain in the ass'?" I asked, forgetting for a second that I want to gauge his eyes out.

"Yeah, but spear is alot more hurting, from experience" he smiled, he really thought I forgave him that fast?!..

"Why aren't you controling me? Or reading my mind and stuff?.." I questioned, really uncomfortable about that.

"It's very mentally exhausting, and I want to know you as the pre-wasteland Gunner, not the pony this forsaken deserts will force you to be... Trust me, everypony will sooner or later give up to the wastes" Sky Fighter lectured.

"I'll take it you already gave yourself up.." I half asked.

"Not yet, I won't go down until I take some of the evil in this wastes with me" Sky Fighter said poetically.

"Why'd you sent me to that arena?... You wanted to see me killing an innocent mare?!" I questioned again, holding myself back again.

"No, I wanted to see if you have what it takes.." Sky Fighter grinned, like he got his answer.

"For what?" I replied.

"Nevermind, I hope you don't mind me asking, but... You loved Rose, right?" he asked, looking a bit ashamed of asking it...

"Why?.." I looked at him, wanting to know why he wants me to answer this kind of question.

"I researched a bit about you... Trust me when I say I am not the bad guy, I may have lost my mind a long time ago... But I am not your true enemy, nor Storm... Nor the Outcasts in general... It's the Nightmare clan. All of the Outcasts fight for the same target, but the way we are trying to achieve it... Sometimes it makes us a pony we aren't, just giving the wastes a chance for a lethal attack..." Sky Fighter lectured.

"Don't avoid my question, why you want me to tell you about Rose?!" I hissed, feeling my body shaking even more and my heart to beat harder.

"You truly loved her, right?" Sky Fighter looked at me, I nodded weakly. "I know how hard it can be for you, I'm so sorry she died... But, try to remind yourself your best moments with her.."

My mind quickly thought about all the times at the stable, she always teased me... We were always laughing at our problems and having a good time... Then, her mother died, she became the Overmare, and from there I began to drift away from her... I was a pegasus, she was the Overmare... We had strict rules about dweller's love life, only same race marriage was legal so she couldn't pick the random Security maintenance pegasus, who's only job is to tamper with equipment... She was needed to pick another unicorn, and she wasn't happy about that...

"Yes, I loved her" I replied weakly.

Sky Fighter nodded slowly, he was thinking about something... "I know we started on the wrong hoof, but I really think we can change this wasteland, once and for all, where the 'Lightbringer' failed we will succeed, and even more" Sky Fighter told me, he sounded very confident in that...

"No" I hissed.

"What?.." He looked confused.

I let out a quick sigh, "I won't help you, I know what you are doing"

"And what is it?" He challenged me.

"I won't fall to your trap" I avoided his question.

"You can't see the larger picture can't you?" Sky Fighter asked me, he sounded like the dark version...

"I'm glad I can't see the larger picture" I fixed him.

"Gunner, you really want to let the clan that killed Rose continue killing other innocents?!" Sky Fighter sounded pissed, like we were friends or something..

"If those raiders will stay in the wastes and keep killing other's loved ones, they are hurting everypony they can! I'm begging you, please..." Sky Fighter said, sounding defeated.

"No.." I insisted with a stomp.

"Gunner, I'm talking in all honesty with you. I won't be here to lead this army against those pshycos, this army needs a pony who can lead them to battle..a sane pony... Gunner, you need to make the choice.." Sky Fighter kept his speech.

"It's not my fight" I said simply.

"Gunner, it's your fight just as it's my fight" Sky Fighter said weakly.

"I don't want any of this! I lost my entire life already... My stable was murdered and my friends are now dead, I have been transformed into... A fucking monster!... And you think that after kidnapping me I'll help you out?!" I screamed.

"None of us wanted any of this but this is the wastes, like it or not that's how the life of many looks like, and I give you the opprtunity to stop the suffering of others..." Sky Fighter said.

I won't help you!" I hissed.

"You won't help me, you'll help millions of innocents all over Equestria, whether it's in Las Pegasus or Stalliongrad all the way to Manehatten and Ponyville, even at new Canterlot! We'll get to everywhere and retrieve peace back to this wasteland once again, for once in two cenutries already!" Sky Fighter lectured again, I must say he has a point.

"I won't take your role, I won't be a part of your army, but I'll try to help however I can.." I said.

Sky Fighter's eyes widened in surprise and his muzzle broke into a smile "That's...that's excellent!..more then excellent!.."

"Yeah, well... I want to see Rose's body.." I held back tears.

"Gunner..." Sky Fighter tried to tell me otherwise.

"I want to know she is in a better place..." I insisted.

"Trust me she is.." Sky Fighter had a face that told me I don't want to see her body...

"Don't think about me as a friend, I still hate you, I'm doing this for Rose.." I reminded him.

"Fair play" He chuckled.

"Who's DJ Pon3?" I asked, his face told me I might have been caught by asking that... Was he the only one to know about him?..

"Never heard 'bout DJ Pon3?..."

I shook my head.

"He's a genius, although he can get a bit... never mind, let's hear what's new shall we?.." Sky Fighter said and walked toward a shelf, on the shelf were some books and flower pots, and a big old-school looking radio... His telekinetic glow turned up the volume and he searched for the right channel..

"Whhhhaaat's going on children? this is your old pal DJ Pon3 with the hot news of today's morning!, rumors had it our new Stable pegasus survived the Nightmare clan's attack, but that's not all... The Eastern Outcasts took care of 'em as well, if somepony in the wastes can help him out, it must be the Outcasts... Now for Tw--" Sky Fighter turned off the radio and looked at me, a smirk cracked his muzzle at the look of my face... I was shocked to hear that..

"How... What?.." was all I managed to say.

"He got something with stalking stable dwellers..." Sky Fighter chuckled, how many dwellers were mentioned already by him?..

"Who is he?" I asked, hoping to get an answer more satisfying then 'a loud stallion over a radio'...

"DJ Pon3, his ancestor was the best DJ in Equestria, she was the best... Now he's taking her role, there's always a DJ Pon3" Sky Fighter told me, sounding nostalgic.

"That's creepy if you'll ask me" I told him back.

"Yup, that's his job" Sky Fighter replied.

"Can you turn on the radio, I want to hear some of his broadcasts" I told Sky Fighter, feeling alot more relaxed suddenly...still wanting to buck his face though...

"Yup, don't go anywhere, I got some plans for you" Sky Fighter said as he walked outside of the room.

"..The Nightmare clan was apperantly heading to Twilight Camp for a reason we didn't thought, we all knew something's fishy in Twilight Camp..but is it something we want to know children?... Twilight Camp has a dark secret we are yet to uncover... But a few survivors from the camp were seeing heading toward TenPony Tower last night, if you see them please check if they are the 'Lightbringer' type of folk before shooting them, this was DJ Pon3, delivering the truth to you, no matter how bad it hurts!..."

Well... At least I know some ponies made it out alive..do I really want to be helping Sky Fighter?... Even if I do it purely for the innocents out there... I'm still helping out Sky Fighter's plan after all. I decided to listen to more of the entries... Maybe something will give me a clue about Sky Fighter's idea...

"Entry 1765- Gunner has yet to be found in Twilight Camp's ruins... Or at least yet to be identified as Gunner, the medical ponies are saying he won't make it if he won't be found. They suggested to just kill him off when we found him because they think he won't make it, but I have a better idea for him, I need him alive..."

Most of the entries were Sky Fighter cursing the medical team about my condition, stuff that I already know or not really giving a shit about knowing, I jumped back a few entries to something interseting.

"Entry 1698- We got our hooves on one of Storm's magical HUD helmets, he sure knows how to develop his equipment. Shame he's so focused on staying at Twilight Camp and not helping me rule the Eastern Base, we could rule the North-East part of Equestria the two of us, but he is just holding the same grudge..."

This is the second time I am hearing about Storm's grudge to Sky Fighter... I feel like it is an important thing that holds back Sky Fighter...

"Entry 1699- We're planning on sending a shipment filled with equipment toward the Western Base, we won't run through Storm's troops to avoid inconvenience, so they're ordered to circle around his camp three kilometers away. I doubt they'll be attacked so far away from his camp, the clan have nothing to look for that far. I'll sent them after the situation gets a bit calmer"

I skipped to the entry of the shipment, I want to know what almost got Chamber killed... Well... He did died in the end I guess...

"Entry 1730- I sent the shipment litteraly a second ago, they are supposed to return here in two months, I know the circle around thing wasn't a good idea for timing, but I prefer them to be a bit tired and alive then teared apart at the side of the road"

No timing and no survivors... The circling around gave nothing but pain... That's enough entries for now, I need to figure out what the hell's happening, but first I need to arm myself... And I still have no idea how the hell this DJ Pon3 know so much about me, wait... Sky Fighter's entry told something about TenPony Tower?... Celestia knows where this place is, but he is there and I need to talk with him, he knows much more about Sky Fighter then me, if somepony in this wastes can tell me who Sky Fighter really is it's DJ Pon3... I walked toward the door and tried to open it...

Locked, great. Can I hack it?... I can always try... I backed out three times before I got any clue for the password, Sky Fighter really is a smart pony... Though a very crazy and paranoid one.

"Come on... Come on..." I whispered, waiting for an unlock sound from the door...nope, wrong password...again...well this won't go anywhere like this, I need another way out if I want to get out of here in this lifetime.

"You heard the boss?.." A voice came from outside the door..sound like somepony was left guarding this door...

"Yeah, this robo-pony inside have all the right to refuse to the work he got for him, I wouldn't do that even for a night stand with Papercut" Another voice said, sounding as close to the door as the first.

Papercut?... Wasn't she the mare from the Vultures' attack?...

"Shut up, you'll do anything to fuck her, I dunno if there's one soldier in our department who isn't trying to get his package under her tail..." The first said... Oh wow; A sex talk..

"Who knows, maybe I'll luck out sometime" the other guard replied with a laugh.

"Go lower, I heard she ain't into stallions..." the first said, sounding dissapointed... They sound surprised it can happen, we had alot of mares back at stable 154 who were interested only in mares, same with stallions attracted to stallions... Caliber was an example...

"Once she sees me she'll think otherwise" The second laughed.

Alright that's enough of that... I have better things to do then listen to two perverted ponies, let's check around for something...

A painting... Another painting... Another painting... An ammo box... Another painting...

Wait, an ammo box? And it wasn't locked to my surprise... Some pistol rounds, assault rifle rounds, shotgun ammo, a grenade! Keep you for later, and... A wierd yellow capsule thingy...My PipBuck tagged it as 'Magic Cell', oh well... Guess I'll keep it... What's the job he wants me to do, and why the hell I accepted that?... This Sky Fighter is one persuasive pony I most admit but I can't stay here caged. I'm so hungry I'd kill for something to eat right now, and this door won't open just like this... I do got a grenade to blow it up, but what after that? I got nothing to shoot with or even bash somepony in the face with... Hope the blast'll disable the guards so I could take their weapon, doubt they won't be armed, but I got a plan... I just need the perfect timing for this.

"Guards? I'm starving!" I shouted toward the door, the grenade lying under my forehoof.

"Shut your fucking muzzle freak!" one of the guards shouted back.

"Oh... Is this supposed to happen?.." I said, hoping that'll make them open the door.

"What'ca fucking about?" A guard said and unlocked the door, I bit the pin and was ready to roll the grenade toward the door, the door opened and the guard looked bored and pissed to see me.

"Is dat edeble?" I asked, my teeth holding the pin on the grenade.

"What you got in your mouth?" the guard asked angrily.

"Oh, I'm sorry, you a want a piece?" I took the pin off of the grenade and rolled it toward the guard.

His eyes widen and he tried to run away and close the door behined him with the grenade out of the room. the blast sent the guard crashing against the wall on the other side and the other guard fell on his side and was peppered with shrap, the door flew toward me and I barely avoided it. quickly after that an alarm was sounded.

"Well fuck.." I whispered to myself and ran in the corridor to where I remembered was the elevator, ponies all around stuck close to the walls to not intercept anything, I heard hoof steps behined me, and it sounded like it was an army of ponies.

"Where the fuck is he?" somepony screamed from behined me, I heard the hoof steps getting closer no matter how fast I tried to run... Fucking stupid robotic leg... I heard gunshots from behined me and bullets whizzed by me all over the place, hitting everything but me... Glad those fuckers don't have S.A.T.S.

I ran toward the elevator and finally saw the familliar doors, they opened and inside were two guards, pointing heavy purple battle saddles at me..Sky Fighter said he wanted me alive don't he?...

"Light 'em up!" One screamed and they both bit their muzzle trigger, both had heavy armor and protective visors...

I realized why they had this armor a moment later and stopped in my tracks, the four barrels pointed at me started to glow neon purple, and quickly after bursted into disloving hot rays that shot past me and melted everything in the way. I jumped to avoid a ray that tried to cut my hooves off, both guards stopped firing as their barrels smoked heavily, I was grazed in the hind leg by it. Great, almost lost another limb... The wound was smoking and burning in pain but I had no time to whine... I ran forward and jumped partilly on the wall, wall-running slightly as I jumped from the wall toward the elevator, landing on the two guards and knocking them out both for good, pressing on the top floor button and looking behined me, a swarm of armed guards ran across the corridor and they weren't happy, the doors finally closed and I let out a breath I haven't noticed I held.

Looking around and gathering my thought I tried to think about my next move, I won't stay in here as a puppet that's for sure, but where can I stay for now?... I can always return to what was left of Twilight Camp... No, bad idea, probably swarming with raiders.

The elevator made a ding sound and the doors opened up, should I strip one of the guards for his saddle?..no, this would just slow me down...this floor was old and not well maintenced..broken glass and shattered collapsing roof pieces were scattered on the ground, I walked slowly and saw that I might have done a mistake by going up here, there's nothing here! just skeleton of a building... It looks like a different building from what I was a second ago, it was so empty and lifeless... I heard the wind whistle, at least I know I'm above ground, the question is how I get here and what to do next.Well, better focus on surviving the hell I just entered.

After walking around I entered a room that was once a balcony, the wind blew into my ears and made me feel a little vertigo feeling, and I'm a pegasus!...

The window-wall was shattered for what looked like ages... Looking around the great vantage point I had from here, I could see some groups of buildings all around, though very far from each other, in the horizon I could see a giagentic city, skyscrapers and factories that were so tall they punctured through the cloud curtain that covered most of the sky, it was already starting to be late evening from the sky's color... A warm orange... I could see another thing, some towers were in what looked like random positions... I could see only four towers... Is one of them TenPony Tower?.. What's their use?...

I tried to use my wings, but they just stayed in place, not moving. I can't stay in this situation if I want to get out of here. I raised my left hoof and looked at my PipBuck's health status, they were perfectly fine!..nothing was wrong, they were in great shape..so what is denying me from using them? I need to figure that out now, I can't stay in here forever... Without mentioning my stomach is digesting itself right now. Maybe expressing an emotion will wake up my wings?... No, it needs to be sudden.. Something I don't expect..

"Urrgghhh my neck is killing me.." I muttered and rubbed my neck, the metalic railing was cold and sweaty, it made a line across my mane and made it look like I have side-burns rather then a mane... I moved back to the actuall room and looked around, maybe something here will help me? doubt that... Better check before something happens, and why the Outcasts aren't here already?. I rummaged in the piles of collapsed cieling and found a small box, it was locked..fuck! keep it for later though, might find something to open it with, for now I think I'm doomed, I better just go back down and let the guards buck the shit out of me, as long as I don't have to live in panic... I heard something moving from behined me, as I looked at the sound a RadRoach attacked me, I blocked and knocked him off with a hoof before he latched to my face like the one back at the stable, this time I have no Custard to help me.

"Fuck... Off... Stupid... Roach.." I said, every word followed by a buck with my robotic hindleg and crushing him into a puddle of green goo, my PipBuck clicked at me and my radiation meter rose up a bit..I was still in the clear zone despite him being so close to me...

Radiation isn't as powerful as we were told?.. I heard more movement sound and after a quick E.F.S check I realized quickly what was happening, I was inside a nest of RadRoaches, five RadRoaches pounced on me out of nowhere and started biting my torso and legs, I tried to buck them off but more joined and tried to eat me alive, I began to shake them off while bucking the others, bucking with all of my hooves in hope that this will knock them off of me, my PipBuck clicked like crazy and my whole body was sore from the biting of the radiated roaches.

I began walking backwards to try and maybe hit the roaches against a wall, my tail was begging to feel a cold breeze when my robotic leg stepped on the edge of the balcony, it crumbled under the wieght of my bionic leg. I bumped my chin against the floor and fell backwards toward the pretty far down ground, still covered with half a dozen roaches, I tried to flap my wings or at least shake some of the roaches with my wings, and they finally moved! I flicked my tail and hit my wings against my torso, knocking off three of the roaches as they fell to their death even faster then I was, the other three were biting the hell out of my wings now, I just flapped them to stay in the air, but a roach bit down on my wing-joint and moved his head quickly to the side, I screamed in pain as I felt blood coming out of my wing, the fucker just ruptured my wing!

I groaned in agony as my body flipped around and I saw I was much closer to the ground then I would like, and the ground just closed in on me fast, I clenched my eyes and was ready to feel the impact... Then everything was black.

I woke up inside a water puddle, the sky was raining and a clicking sound from my left side drove me crazy. My whole body felt like death itself, while I was getting on my hooves I saw that I crushed on the muddy ground and some splattered roaches were scattered around me. I was covered in bruises and bite marks from them...

I looked at my PipBuck and saw my radiation level was high up in the danger zone, I jumped up and tried to walk backwards, away from the radiation... But the radioactive puddle I lied in was pretty much soaked inside my skin and body now... Great: I'm dying out of radiation, can the sitaution get any worst?!... My wing had a really bad and bleeding rupture on the upper joint of my wing and my stomach rumbling became unbearable now... Well, gotta go somewhere... It's night and I'm unarmed and inured, at least I can't feed my pessimistic side anymore then that.

Walking in the rainy night to a random direction, I felt so helpless it just killed me from the inside... I hate the feeling of being unable to do anything, but the radiation level my body soaked is too high for me to even think straight.

What were the stages we were told in the stable?.. Stage one was the harmless part that I cleary passed. Stage two was the part of minor damage, the not so noticable one; Like slight hair-loss and nausea and sweating, followed by headaches and stuffed nose, watering eyes and stomach issues like throwing up and diarrhea.. Then there's stage three; The heavy hair-loss, neurologic distruption, twitching and losing consciousness... Then stage four; Unreverseable internal damage, organ failure, muscle degeneration, excretion of diseased blood cells and finally death... Hope I'm still at stage two or three, not a fan of stage four what so ever. After walking for a while in the rain I decided I might need to stop somewhere, the radiation sickness is now making itself even more apperant..

"Guess I'm at stage two still, at least I hope so" I muttered to myself, looking at my PipBuck's navigation system, I had the 'East Outcast Base' marked behined me, why won't they look for me?... The location 'Twilight Camp' suddenly appeared on my PipBuck... Was it there all along and I haven't noticed it?... Guess I won't go there, I don't want to see more bodies of ponies I knew, but it might have some gear I can use..

No... I have to go to TenPony Tower first, to meet DJ Pon3... He knows alot about what's happening, and he has no side in the Storm-Sky Fighter problem of the Outcasts.. The radiation isn't too lethal for my great relief, so I have nothing to worry much about. But I do got three problems right now, one is that I have no idea where is TenPony Tower, the second is that I'm not armed, the third is that I'm injured.

I entered my PipBuck's sorting spell to see if I had anything on me, how the hell I still had my barding though? Did Sky Fighter managed to save it from the wrecks?... Well, I still had my weapon multi-tool.. Yup, that's my brading.. Some spare parts for gun modification.. I'm really starting to regret I spent most of my stable's free time sleeping, if I was working out more maybe I would be alot more persistant to this radiation sickness... But I'm a lazy pegasus in general.

After walking for a while in the rain I managed to spot an old caravan, but it wasn't a regular one... It had engines on the buttom half of it... Was it a floating caravan?.. Well, I know there's such thing as a Vulture so flying vehicles aren't much of a surprise by now.

It had a worned out title on it's side, maybe a logo?.. It did look in bad shape, so it won't fly sometime soon if ever, but I think the metalic roof can protect me from this fucking rain. inside were a few opened crates, of course it was looted.. But some were locked, looks like there's not alot of lockpickers in the wastes, not like I'm one...I know how to build things, mainly weapons... Not how to breach them...

Though I did knew how this kind of locks work, they were very popular back at the stable, so maybe I'll give it a shot? It's not like I have something better to do, it's not very warm inside but at least it's somewhat dry. After checking the unlocked crates for anything good, I found only some random bullets in a pile of bullet cases, look like someone was a fan of hoarding useless empty bullet shells, though not all of them were used, for my knowledge they weren't any pistol or a small-arm weapon I know of, they were small though.. They won't fit inside an assault rifle, not even a sub-machine gun... What the hell are they? Well, guess I better try my luck with the crates, I took out my multi-tool, good thing it had a screwdriver... Now where can I find a bobby pin?... Wish I had any lock-oriented tool, maybe a mutli-key or anything like that... Even a built-in bobby pin will do!..

That's just great..I can't open a lock without a bobby-pin, and it's not like I got here a key of some sort, or a unicorn to shatter this lock in half if they can even do that... I think I'll never get how unicorn magic work, it's just so wierd they can think of something and then do that without touching it... But I guess a flying pony isn't something too normal.

I reminded myself I still had that box from earlier, maybe I can do anything with that?... I sorted it out with my PipBuck's sorting spell and examined the box, it was a rusty blue metalic box, about the size of a PipBuck.. It was locked, but I could still move the lid up and down, I tried to maybe fry it open with my teeth and hooves: And I did. The rusty lock broke into dust and I bumped my head on the metalic roof of the vehicle, rubbing my head and looking at the box's contents.. It had a few Caps, a 9mm magazine but not for a pistol... A Carbine maybe? No, they don't have this low caliber. Well, I'll break my head on that later, a wierd orb thingy, and a smaller box inside the main box.. I took the Caps and the magazine in a heartbeat, but the smaller box and the orb were so alien to me..

The smaller box had something inside it, that's for sure.. It rustled like hell everytime I moved it, the orb was wierd-looking and slightly transperent.. I don't know what the hell this is, but it might be usefull to sell? If I'll find anypony else in this wastes who isn't trying to kill me, or toture me, or rape me, or all of them... Well, DJ Pon3 sounds like a nice guy, but this reminds me that I still haven't figured out where the hell he is supposed to be.

Yeah..TenPony Tower.. If I knew where the hell this place is, I don't know he's even there! Maybe even Sky Fighter have no idea where he is! Maybe he planned me to hear this entries and to get me killed.. For all I know it can be raider territory!

I cleary have nothing to do with this orb, if it can be used for something I don't have that special 'something' to be able to activate or use it in any way..I still think I better keep it, hope I won't become a hoarder of useless stuff.. The smaller box inside wasn't locked, but it won't open... I tampered with it for a while and decided maybe I'll just break it with my hoof and take whatever is inside, in the hopes that whatever's inside isn't too fragile.. I became very tired quickly after, and the radiation sickness isn't too helping, I curled into a ball and fell asleep, the rain outside of the caravan becoming really calming somehow and my eyes closed.

"Huh, dunno 'bout you, but I'm curious" A familliar amused sound said, the dark version.

"Hope that curiosity won't stay satisfied at killing only cats.." The sane version retorted.

"Don't worry 'lighty', I can claw like a cat" The dark version answered sarcasticly.

"That's my problem" The sane version said, though he did looked alot less 'sane'...

"I think he is doing a great work!" the dark version laughed maniaclly.

"What do you mean?" I stomped angrily.

"Can't you remember?.." The dark version's laugh died out.

"How fucked up you are? Can't forget that" I frowned.

"No silly, your true self!" The dark version laughed out again, he suddenly turned into another pony for a split second.. A pink-looking mare..

"What.." I blinked, not sure what I just witnessed.

"Oh com'on, don't tell me ya didn't catched up egghead!" He looked at me, this time he turned with a flash into a blue pegasus.. A very familliar looking...

"I-I don't.." I mumbled.

"Hmm, seems like you're still confused.." The dark version turned into a lavender-colored alircorn..what the hell is going on?!

"What the fuck?!" I yelled in frustration, feeling so helpless and clueless.

"Don't worry darling, we'll help you find a way" This time he flashed into a white gorgoues unicorn... Her accent like Rose's and Storm's.

"Stop that!" I demanded with a stomp.

"Not enjoying ourselves sugercube?" This time he turned into an orange earth pony with distinctive accent..

"I don't know what the fuck you are trying to do, but it ain't working you asshole!" I screamed upwards.

"W-what do y-you want m-me to d-do for you?" Turning into a yellow pegasus with pink mane..

"This ain't working for you! I won't fall for your fucking traps you dumbfuck!" I yelled, the six new formations splitting into six different bodies... They all looked at me, each was familliar in a wierd way, I never saw them before.. But something told me I knew them...

"Too bad, 'cuz I'm planning to win.." The dark version said from behined me.

I jumped and turned around, trying to buck him in the face just to hit the air, he dissapeared into ash.. I saw the sane version, lying dead in a pool of blood... I looked at him and felt a wierd sensation.. of dissapointment..

I saw Custard, Shrapnel and Rose all hugging with each other.. they were enjoying themselves, running and having fun.. I tried to run after them.. But I couldn't catch up.. They just kept on running away from me..

I woke up in my own sweat, inside the caravan.. Another fucking dream... I got up and looked around, everything was quiet.. The rain stopped and my wing stopped bleeding, glad he didn't ripped it off me, though I doubt I can fly in this condition.

Turning to the locked crates I remembered I had a robotic hoof.. I bucked twice the lock on one of the crates, the slightly rusty lock broke open and I opened the wooden crate..it had four ammo boxes!, that could have been very comforting if I had a firearm... Goddesses I really wish I was a unicorn now.. They can use pretty much everything as a weapon!.. Well, at least I got wings, which one of them is disabled.

My theory and understanding is that unicorns can't just break their horn as an accident, that a unicorn's horn is the strongest bone in their body, and they can practicly survive a gunshot.. Implying the shot didn't penetrated their skull and blew their brain, well.. Enough unicorn-dreaming for now, attention to the loot..

An ammo box exclusivly for pistol rounds such as 5mm, .45, 9mm and this new kind of round... My PipBuck just won't sort it!... An ammo box for assault rifles, mostly 5.56 rounds.. A normal ammunation for a battle saddle.. That's just great... Heavy ammunition in the third box, not something I would take but it had a value... And a sniper rifle box, again: Value.

I got to the second crate, this lock was alot more persistent, but not persistent enough to my robo-leg. Did they made my new leg out of titanium? This crate was empty... Hmm, guess somepony thought it would be funny to lock the crate after him.. The third crate wasn't even wooden, it was a metalic dark-green colored crate with a code-locking mechanisem.. Great.. Wish Shrapnel was here.. I really hope that inside the crate there's a regeneration potion so strong it can make any pony a super-pony, if not I would lose my cool, I bucked the code lock and opened up the locking panel, hmm.. Looks alot simpler then I thought... Just.. This wire here, and this wire there... Bang!

I opened the metalic crate and hoped to find something good, I was amazed by how good this 'something' was; It was a retractable battle saddle, and not any battle saddle: A full body battle saddle! It has it's own helmet HUD and armored barding! Just need to assemble it and I'm good to go, guess my multi-tool will see his fifteen minutes of fame after all..

A black helmet with HUD visor on my head, two automatic assault rifles on both sides of my body, light armor covering most of my torso and neck, and a set of four military boots, I got out of the caravan and began walking, I have to admit I felt like a bad-ass. I looked at the surrounding..empty and quite: just how I like it.

My wing was hurting like hell and I was cold and feeling sick, but I can't stay here if I want to survive, hell I'll settle for a week staying alive..a day maybe!, I walked around the caravan and saw it wasn't even a caravan...it had the writing 'Sky carriage' on it's side...well, at least I was close in the whole flying thing.

I took a deep breath and looked around, feeling a bit better to breath fresh air and not stay cramped inside a vehicle or a cage...

So.. Quick reality check: Weapons? Check. Armor? Check. Ammo? Check. Food? Nope. Water? Double nope. Any idea of what I'm going to do or where I'm going? Solid nope..

Well that was dissapointing.

I walked down the road and looked about, checking E.F.S every few seconds to be sure I'm not getting myself into an ambush, I decided to think about the last few days.. About my new life in the Wasteland, I lost my friends, my stable. I'm being haunted by those wierd nightmares and my physicall conditon isn't great either, the Outcasts I knew are now gone and Sky Fighter's troops are probably looking after me, now where the hell is TenPony tower? And how do I find DJ Pon3 in general?

After walking for some time I saw a column of smoke over a hill, from a fire source!.. It most be somepony who lit it up! I rushed up the hill and expected to see a little camp or a few ponies stopping by in their way home or something along those lines... But what I saw was beyond disgusting.
