"Shut up!" Corben yelled as he reached over, picking up the three foals. "Jesus! You'll blow my ears out!"

     "Corben!" Kendrick screamed, pulling his mask off. "You have you have to be calm with them, or they'll freak out more."

     "Just get them to shut up!" Tyler screamed over the high pitch shrieks.

     Corben reached into his back pocket, pulling out a match and a roll of blackcats. "I got this." He said, igniting the match and firecrackers, and throwing them into the field. The dozens of explosions brought silence to the girls, now frozen in fear of the creatures.

     "Put 'em down." Kendrick said, getting on a knee. Corben complied and gently set the three foals on the ground. "Sweetie Belle.... Scootaloo.... Apple Bloom...."

     'How do ya know our names?" Apple Bloom whimpered.

     "We're....." Kendrick looked around, for some kind of inspiration to feed a lie off of. "We are the Blues... We're your... guardian humans."

     "You've got to be ki..." Trevor was cut off by a palm to the back of the head.

     "Dude, shut up." Kenny said, holding his finger to his lips.

     Corben smiled. "Oh, there's Kenny! Couldn't see him with his eyes closed!"

     "Racist fuck." Kenny said with a smile, pulling his mask off. "I have a joke for you too."

     Kendrick sighed. "Do we really have to do this now?"

     "You know why you got all that hair?"

     Corben shrugged. "Go for it."

     "It's so you can hide that tiny pecker of yours!"

     The forest filled with a chorus of 'Ohhhhhh shiiiiit!'

     "Guys! Little girls here!" Kendrick said, trying to hold back a smile. He turned back to the three girls. "Don't listen to them, okay? They're crazy."

     The three nodded, and looked around. "So... you're not gonna eat us?"

     Kendrick smiled. "No, we're not gonna eat you."

     "Hey, asshat." Jose started. "It's getting dark, and we all know from that hunting trip, shit goes down at night."

     Kendrick sighed. "Alright, do you three know the way back to Ponyville?"

     They shook their heads. "We were headed t' Zecora's."

     "Do you know where that is?"

     "Well... we thought we did."

    Kendrick let out a sigh. "Alright, let's just see if we can't find any landmarks." Kendrick stood up, pulling his mask down. "Corben, there room in your bag?"

     "For what?"

     "For them. No reason they should walk any more than they got to."

     Corben sighed. "Yeah, I got room." He set the bag on the ground, and opened it. "Enough for the lot of ya, and no, I won't zip it up on ya."

     "Wait... we don't even know your names yet!" Sweetie Belle said.

     Corben sighed again. "I'm Corben. That there's Kendrick, behind him is Tyler, Matt, Shelby, Dustin, Trevor, and Kenny. Then behind me is Jose and Shawn."

     "Do you work together?"

     Shawn got down on a knee. "We can socialize later, right now, we got to go."

     Tyler nodded to Corben. "Hey, why don't you pop off the ol' blue yellow and white rockets? Maybe someone will see it?"

     "A dragon, Tyler. A dragon would see it before anything." Kendrick stated as they started walking in the direction the girls would point.

     "Alright, now we know you watch the show, bu..."

     Kendrick made a slicing motion at his throat. "What. Show...?" He then nodded to Corben, who looked as if his head would explode with the three girls in his bag.

     "Oh, yeah. Right. Anyway, how do you know a dragon would see it first? Surely one of the bigger orange horses would see it? And I'm sure Corb brought some Excals."

     Kendrick rubbed his chin. "Good point, with these three missing, they mist likley have the pegasi flying overhead..." Kendrick looked to Corben. "Eyo! Go ahead and launch 'em!"

     "We've been walking foooooreeeeverrrrrr." Rarity moaned, giving a hatefilled look to DJ, who plowed ahead with his shotgun shouldered.

     "Stop bitching. Want to find your sister or not?"

     "Do you even know where you're going?" Twilight asked, frowing at DJ' language.

     "Yes." He replied, grinding his teeth.

     "How could you POSSIBLY know where we're going in the Everfee?" Rainbow asked, flying right behindDJ.

     DJ pointed at the ground. "Three sets of hoofprints heading South enough evidence for you?"

     "How do you know that's their prints?" Fluttershy asked, in almost a whisper.

     "Red fuzz from a bow every now and again, and I saw an orange feather a little ways back." DJ said as he followed the prints into an open area. "Alright, if you want, we can rest here. Or we can power..." DJ trailed off as something caught his eye. "Through........" He slowly made his way yo the edge of the opening. He got down on a knee, and picked something out of the dirt.

     Twilight walked up behind him while the others.rested.their hooves. "What is that?"

     DJ brought it up to his nose, and took a deep sniff. "They're...... Blackcats...?" He said, feeling the casing. "Fired off not too long ago."

     "Blackcats?"

     DJ looked back to Twilight. "Super low explosive. Hurts like hell if you forget how short the fuse really is." He looked up, and frowned even more. "What the fuck...?" He took a few steps forward, running his fingers through the dirt. The orange dirt.

     "Is that.... blood?"

     DJ shook his head. "Paint...?" He reached down, picking up a dirt covered orange ball. "Paintballs?"

     "What are paintballs?"

     "Not supposed to be here." He said. Then, a loud explosion rang through the forest. DJ stood up, pointing at Raibow. "Hey, Bandicoot! Fly up and tell me what you see."

     "Wh..."

     "Just fucking do it." DJ said, his voice on edge.

     Twilight look to DJ as Rainbow flew through the forest canopy. "Bandicoot?"

     "Yeah. Crash Bandicoot." DJ said with a smile.

     "That's not funny..." Twilight said, giving DJ a death glare.

     "You're right, it's hilarious." DJ said as another explosion rang through the forest. Followed by Rainbow flying flying back through the trees.

     "There was a bright blue light!" Rainbow said.

     DJ's face fell as he clenched the explosives and orange ball. "No...... nononono...." he whispered to himself. He looked up to Rainbow. "Which was was it?"

     "And mortar's up. Now, we set up camp." Corben said, placing the metal tube back in his bag.

     "Camp?" Applebloom asked, a worried look on her face. "But what 'bout Zecora's?

     "Once we launch the mortars, we have to stay put. Or it's pointless." Corben said, as he and the rest of the group took off their masks and gear.stripping down to the shorts and Tee's underneath.

     "Oh..." the girls all said at once.

     "Hey, if you girls want to help, mind grabbing rocks and sticks?" Tyler asked.

     "Seriously Tyler?" Kendrick asked. He turned to thw girls. "Y'all just stay put." He said.

     Shawn looked around. "Alright guys, I know we've done this before. But just to pass the time alright?"

     "Dammit Shawn..." Kenny said. "Yeah, alright."

     "Okay, if you could fuck anyone in the world, who would it be?"

     "Katy Perry, hands down." Corben said, getting out his large lighter and firestarter.

     "Probably that bitch from the song 'Good Time' or some shit like that."

     "Rihanna, from the scene in 'Where have you been' where she's in the desert, with the fucking bandana." Trevor said.

     "Yeah, remember that game? Where you find the hottest picture, showing the least amount of skin as possible? Didn't that one win?" Kenny asked.

     "No, I think that one came in second." Shawn pointed out. "The first I thought was of... oh what's her tits..."

     "Taylor Swift?"

     "There ya go!"

     "Hey guys, I just realized something." Kendrick said, throwing his sticks on the pile. "We don't have any food, do we?"

     "Well... actually..." Shelby started.

     "Shelby, you beautiful son of a bitch. If you have food I will love you forever." Colton said, eyeing the lineman.

     "I brought cans of chili."

     Colton ran over to Shelby, tackling his to the ground. "You sexy bastard! I love you! I love you so much!"

     Kendrick froze. "Guys..."

     "I'm never going to make you do the truffle shuffle ever again!"

     "Tyler.... Grab your knife..." Kendrick said, and he slowly reached for his.

     Tyler turned as he started to pull out his knife, something he never even knew existed. A lion, with wings, and a scorpion tail. "Fuck..." he said. "I knew I should have brought my rifle just in case."

     "It was paintball. You didn't know." Kendrick said, staring down the beast. None of the others had taken notice yet, as they were too busy laughing at Colton love Shelby."

     "Wha'do we do?"

     Kendrick rolled his shoulders. "Hope for the best."

     "We're dead aren't we?"

     Kendrick gave a nod. "We all are."

     "Then, I just want you to know..... you're a horrible lead blocker."

     Kendrick smiled. "And you have no hands." Next Chapter: Day for making some Z's Estimated time remaining: 1 Hour, 29 Minutes
