"So who else could that pony be?" Star dust looks at James.

"Well their were a few other unicorns that owe me allot of caps,i give them allot of time so maybe one of them is doing this to repay his debt?"

"Hmmm,maybe."

Their is a strange feminine sound from around the corner. "Do you hear that? their are other ponies here...they shall fall by the goddesses might."

Another,similar feminine voice speaks next as the whole group stops to listen. "Yes,as for why their are weak,pathetic mortals here i do not know but they shall be hunted."

Starberry shivers and whispers. "A-alicrons...shit."

Star dust peeks around the corner and sees two tall,black alicorns with flowing silver and purple manes and he whispers."I am about to do something incredibly stupid."

Starberry looks at him and gulps. "Uhhh wha-."

"HEY BITCHES!!!" Star dust shouts and comes out and pulls James out too as James gulps and the alicorns charge their magic. "You sure thats a good idea? we got a alicorn too." Both the alicorns pause and look at each other as James gulps and moves his mane to whos his horn.

"...Hmmm it seems thou is speaking the truth...fight by our side male alicorn or we shall not consider you a ally." The alicorns say in unison while glaring at James.

"Hehehe...no." As soon as he finishes his sentence James levitates out 2 guns,one a sawed off shotgun and the other a assault carbine and proceeds to start shooting both and the bullets kick up smoke from the ground and as soon as both guns run out of ammo and the smoke clears his confident smirk quickly vanishes when he sees that both of them had shields up and were not effected. "Ah shit."

"You are a fool to have done that." Both the alicorns fire powerful magic beams at James only for them to be blocked by a similar shield spell.

"Your not the only one who knows shield spells." James smirks with star dust as they are both in the shield.

"It does not matter to us." The alicorns say as one of them starts duplicating herself and flies up,each one firing a different spell,making James grimace as his magic weakens.

"...Hang on James." Star dust starts preparing his shotgun and pistol and looks around to see what he can do and once he has a plan he waits as James's magic flickers under the pressure of multiple attacks.

As soon as the magic force field comes down Star dust bursts forward towards the first alicorn,placing a shot that makes her shield flicker just enough for star to slide through and hear the sudden spiking tick on his Geiger counter and the alicorn looks at him,wide eyed as two thunderous booms send the alicorns body flying into the other as the duplicates stop to look at the falling alicorn.

"YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT!!!!" The other alicorn yells in anger as all the duplicates ether charge their magic or charge him head on in rage...and he just stands their...smiling as every tick he hears gets louder and louder as the alicorns get closer and closer...boom.

Jerome's bombs set off all around star making the real alicorn and all the duplicates ether lose their limbs or turn into a shower of guts and blood,but star dust didn't leave unsacaved,his plan wound up getting some shrapnel into his side making him groan loudly in pain.

"Hey star,you alright? my bombs weren't too close to you were they?" Jerome takes out one of his healing potions but star just raises a hoof and pulls out one of his own.

"I-its fine,we had to do whats necessary,their shields and magic would be impossible to go through so we needed something to go under them,you somehow knew what i was trying to pull." Star dust gulps down the healing potion,shivering a bit at the unfamiliar strawberry like taste.

"Yea,i could tell from that smile it wasn't because you knew what you were doing,you were just hopping i'd catch on in time and plant the bombs before you get killed." Jerome chuckles lightly as he turns to James just as star's wounds slowly close,the shrapnel not leaving his side however.

James groans and rubs his horn a little. "Ooooow that put a strain on my magic."

Starberry rolls her eyes. "And ya'll say yer a alicorn." She scoffs a bit.

"HEY i AM an alicorn but that doesn't mean i have limitless magic,im not natural made magic was used to give me a horn so im not particularly strong with it." James replies to the red Pegasus as he uses his hair to hide his horn again.

"Alright guys,i have a bad feeling that if we go any further we are going to become skeletons so take whatever you can and lets hope we can find the exit." Star dust says as he trots over to a destroyed shop that still has allot of stuff inside since it was left unlooted for quiet some time.

"FINALLY!! a pony with common sense." James almost celebrates the fact that soon he'll be out of this hell hole and goes to a police station which has a missing door,finding some police armor that he plans to sell or to give to the others,some ammunition and a rather shockingly large amount of guns,some in good condition but the others will need some repairs.

"Alright pardner." Starberry takes Jerome to a different building and within a hour the whole group goes back to where the alicorns died with allot of new stuff in their bags,some to sell and others to keep and use for later.

"Alright,theirs probably more but im not going to take anymore risks,im sure if i didn't notice that one flicker spot in the alicorn's magic we would have been really fucked so lets get out of here before more of them show up...no seriously i think i hear more of them ahead." Star dust says as the whole group hears female voices ahead.

"Ah buck,ah was hoppin to get some more loot outa this place...still the stuff i got is pretty nice ah guess." Starberry says as she looks into her saddle bag.

"Right...lets go." Star dust says a bit nervously as they all trot away from the voices,trying to ignore the growing ringing in their ear and back onto the road...but they all knew one thing:that place had stuck something to them,they just didn't know what it was.
