"Hey!" a voice from behind us.

We all spun around, whipping out a gun.

"Hold your fire, it's me!"

The Pegasus said.

"Skyler?" Chains lowered his pistol. "Where's your armor?"

Skyler pointed a hoof at a store. "They're cleaning it for me."

"And you don't put fear in them?" I took a step his way.

"Only the zebras." he walked to the store. "So why are you guys here?"

Chains looked at some hiding ponies. "Balefire bomb."

Skyler stopped.

Chains looked down. "It hit Manhattan. Everything there is, not there."

Skyler just stood there. It took him a while to soak it in.

"We all lose something at one time in our lives." Skyler kept walking, but slower.

I leaned towards Chains. "Did he grow up in Manehattan?"

Chains sighed. "His wife lived in Manehattan."

I stopped. I felt horrible. I had a reason to.

"Stop beating yourself up over this!" Fire Light  Sat next to me on a bench while the others shopped.

"But it was my fault all those ponies died," I looked at all the ponies in the stable. I knew none of them, but I knew they wouldn't last long.

"We just didn't have enough time, that's all," Fire Light's voice was getting softer.

Mine got louder. "Because we sat in that stupid shack in the middle of no where!"

Everypony there stopped to look at me. I heard whispers and little whinnies.

Fire Light leaned over. "Maybe we should go."

She lead me to the store where the others were. They already heard about my outburst.

"Why were you yelling at Fire Light?" Skyler was a little protective of how ponies treat Fire Light.

"Skyler," Fire Light Started. "I'm fine, he just got out of control."

He looked disgusted. "But he still-"

"Like you are now," Fire light interrupted.

Skyler looked to Recon. "Back me up, Recon."

"We all freak out some times, Skyler. I'm going to have to agree with her," Recon returned to purchasing some carrots.

Skyler was about to say more when, Chains came into the store. "Alright, get what you need quickly then we leave."

All of us looked at him like he was crazy.

Chains explained. "We're needed in ponyville. Reports of zebras. And I had a word with the overmare. It's a little complicated, but we have to go now."
