Sweetie Belle nodded to Apple Bloom and the earth pony nodded back. The unicorn mare slipped out of cover and fired blank rounds to the unicorns outside. Two of them fell back behind the van while the other two backed off a bit and fired back at her.

Some bullets hit the metal shelf, causing Sweetie to take cover. This didn't stop her from continuing to suppress them with her firearm. The blank rounds were unable to hurt anypony at this range but it would definitely hurt somepony.

Meanwhile, Apple Bloom tried to coax to two civilians to move with her. The filly hugged tightly to her mother and in turn the mother returned the hug. Soon, they were ready to leave. As Sweetie Belle was covering the three, a bullet struck into her head making her fall limp on the shelf.

Apple Bloom shouted at the fallen Crusader before being shot in the stomach. Like the two Crusaders, the pegasus family met a similar fate. The mother covered her filly as best as she could before dying from the ponies outside. Their blood pooling out of their bullet wounds.

When the police arrived, they found nothing but splashes of blood and three mares dead in the middle of the store. After watching through the mini-store's security camera, they could see five ponies loading up a bandaged unicorn, a knocked out pegasus, a crying aqua foal, and a struggling earth pony into a van.

Scootaloo's fate is unknown.
