James keeps looking behind his shoulder repeatedly,feeling as if something is watching the group,planning.

"Guys im telling you,i think something is fallowing us."

"Ya'll just being paranoid." Starberry says while looking around,too out of the thought of their being a threat to believe that something has been fallowing them.

"I know im not paranoid,i have had this feeling before,its the feeling that something is stuck to you." James looks back again and catches a glimpse of a piece of metal sticking out of a rock before it jets away,making James gulp.

"James,if their WAS something fallowing us,do you think it'd be stupid enough to take on 4 ponies that are fully armed?" Starberry looks back at him.

"...I guess not." Jams sighs and tries not to think about the spiky piece of metal he saw.

Jerome takes out a strange kind of metal apple that has a oddly larger pin and seems to have a string going in it as he examines it out of curiosity as Everypony but him suddenly snaps into attention as the sound of a gun cocking rings through the air,and seconds later they all stop,Jerome still examining the metal apple as griffons with battle saddles seem to come just out of sight and sorround them as the only one without a helmet steps forward.

"Look what we have here,the all mighty caravan leader,the 2 little stable dwellers and my old friend James."

"Was that you who was fallowing us just now?" James seems to have his gun ready to be pulled out by his levitation.

"Hmm? fallowing you? no,we weren't...and i believe you have a price to pay." The griffon puts a single claw onto the trigger of his Gatling gun.

"That is not a very good idea." As soon as the griffon turns his head to look at star dust he finds one eye looking down the barrel of royal glory and the other eye looking down the barrel of a shotgun.

"Hmmhmmhmm oh thats cute,you think you can take us all on with those puny things?"

"You want to test that theory you griffon bitch? i don't give a shit what your packing,i.don't.hesitate." Star dust scowls as the griffon chuckles at first but then realizes he is absolutely serious and that he is currently looking down the barrel of two guns and star dust is ready to pull the trigger at the first sign of weakness...and as the griffon looks into star's golden eyes...not a shred of mercy is shown in them.

"Eh...heh...umm how about we just leave and forget this ever happened?" The griffon slowly signals his other troops to get into a position to gun them all down.

"And how about i shoot your fucking balls off?" Star's eyes start burning red.

"Jeez star,you are acting strange." Jerome slowly pulls the pin of the metal apple out only to hear a zipper sound as a piece of string is attached to it and is still in the metal apple,making it stay off.

"I prefer to keep my balls thank you very much." Just before he can signal to attack.

"...Bye." In one giant bang star's shotgun goes off,sending the griffon's head going into 6 different directions and Jerome turns around,tosses the metal apple,a string coming out of it,making it fly and go towards the other griffons in a curve...and everything seems to slow...as the string hits the end of its line it stops for just a second...ting...and boom.

After the actual pin pings off the inside,the metal apple or "zipper bomb" explodes into a massive explosion is and after the first one,the explosions continue to blow forward,each explosion killing multiple griffons in their screaming agony as Starberry,James and Jerome all get sent flying back,as star dust falls down on his side,all of them with slight burns on their sides when the bomb went off.

As they all groan in pain,checking to see if the pain is caused from shrapnel or burns,thankfully not finding any holes in their bodies,Jerome is the first to say, "HOLY FUCKING SHIT THAT THING IS AWESOME!!!!" He proceeds to pull out more zipper bombs and looks at them closely,amazed at the ammount of destruction they do in such a short time,and only a single one too.

"Im just glad it didn't blow us all to hell." Star dust dusts himself off and wipes the rubble off the back of his barding.

"And im just glad i wont ever have to worry about Eli's griffons anymore,they have been a pain in my ass for a long bloody time" James looks at the bloody remains of the griffons. "Well...their leader was anyway...im sure the rest of them are still after my ass."

"Are ya'll sure we couldn't have talked em out of it? hell we just blew em up...it was bucking awesome but that just means we pissed em all off in a really awesome way." Starberry takes the magic weapons they were carrying.

"I say they got what was coming to them,lets just get moving before i- OOO SHOTGUN SHELLS!!!" Star tackles a bunch of shotgun shells with big sparkly eyes and puts them all in his saddle bag,glad that he has more ammo for his gun but still needs to be careful with them since its only about 4 clips worth that he found.

"...Well you are WAY too excited for that." James pulls star dust back up to his feet. "Its just ammo."

"Yea but i had so little of it i could hardly use it very often." Star puts royal glory back into his holster. "So yea im kind of happy i can use it without feeling like im trying to survive a fucking horde."

"Yea yea whatever you silly blue pony." James playfully punches star's side in a brotherly fashion as they all chuckle and start trotting away from the dead griffon's bodies.

As they trot,suddenly a stream of gunshots rings down as sparks on the ground get closer to them and they all leap out of the way before they get shot and above them is a griffon who is wearing full body armor and has a Gatling gun that is upgraded to the point where it shoots about as fast as a speeding laser.

"OH WELL FUCK YOU TOO ASS HOLE!!!" Star dust takes out royal gloryand aims as the griffon dive bombs and revs up his weapon just as star dust pulls the trigger and the shot hits the griffon right in the helmet but he keeps coming. "SHIT!!!" Before the griffon can fire.

KABOOM...in a instant the all powerful armored griffon becomes a bloodied mess of shattered bones and scattered organs from a metal apple blowing up mere feet from its beak as Jerome pants,having to aim for a flying target,that was moving with a metal apple. "As for how i successfully managed to pull that off,i do not know."

"Blimey,Jerome is on a griffon killing spree today." James chuckles as Jerome does a nervous chuckle and scratches the back of his head.

"Only issue is none of you are going to be leaving here to tell the tale." A female griffon wearing a battle saddle that has 2 magic weapons attached to each side says as she hovers in mid air,aiming for Jerome and James.

"And what makes you say that?" Star dust seems to challenge her.

"Me...and if you did not know,that griffon you killed earlier on? was a decoy...I am Eli..."

"Oh...well i didn't expect you to be a female griffon...that explains why your own men say your bitchy,because you are a bitch." James chuckles as Eli seems to get steamed very easily.

"SHUT UP YOU PATHETIC WELP!!!" Eli screams out as star dust,James,starberry and Jerome all chuckle.

"OK who wants to bet the only reason they fallow her is because she threatens to bitch at them to death." Jerome chuckles out.

"Hell i think they just fallow her because if they don't,she'll bomb the world with her bitchiness." Star replies,laughing now.

"SHUT UP,SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!!" Eli starts throwing a massive hissy fit as she starts shooting randomly,compleatly missing every shot and just as shes about to try to land a WHOOSH passes by,turns around and slams into her side,making her nothing but splattered chunks of dead meat,hitting the floor with a flop.

"GAH,THE FUCK WAS THAT?!?!?!" Jerome jumps behind a rock.

"...Ello." A voice says,off to the side...and everyone looks.
