"What do you mean like dead as in gone." asked Fluttershy as she was hideing behind Rainbow dash "yea thats what dead means stupid." answered Clayton with a pissed off tone "HEY dont call her stupid!" screamed Rainbow dash "Oh sorroy Rainbow shit!' replied Clayton "Alright buddy your going to-" but before Rainbow could finish a bullet passed by her face that nearly took her head off . "AMBUSH!" yeld Nathen as bullets sprayed from all directions "find cover quick!" yeld Nick they took cover behind a fallen column "Clay you and me lay down covering fire while Nick gets the horses out." orderd out Nathen over the gun fire "Well actually were-" "Not now just go!" said Nathen cutting off Twilight as a Drone kicked him over the cover.
"Come on hurry!" said Nick as he picked up Fluttershy who was still unconscious as they were trying to find a shelter a near by building collapsed in front of there path. "Great now were do we go?" asked Applejack Nick quickly looked around for a place to hide and there it was an old bar "Every one quick into the bar!" he comanded as they ran inside Nick set Fluttershy on the bar while Twilight locked the door with her magic "You think locking the door will stop those things Twi?" asked Rainbow dash with a little fear in her voice "Well your friends are coming back right?" asked Twilight "I-I dont no ." Nick answered "Agh I cant take this war any more Iam no killer i just want peace!" he screamed as he slamed his fist on the table "Then why did you join them?" asked Rarity "Becuase they force us to, make us fight and die for them but I wish in the future I can live in a world were there will be no war ,no fighting just peace," said Nick this made the ponies very sad knowing that there new friend could never have the peace they have back during there time. "Ahhh So what did i miss?" asked Fluttershy wakeing up.
A few hours later a loud banging came from the door as Nick grabed his gun the doors flew open then there they were Clayton and Nathen came through the door helping each other walk in they were tired and hungry. The ponies gasped as they saw them covered in blood and guts "W-What did you do?" asked Twilight who felt very sick just by looking at them "Sister its a long story"answered Nathen breathing heavily "Hey weres the bacon!" yeld Clayton. After cleaning up and a ok meal the two Cog soldiers stood on the balcony of the bar "would you look at that" said Nathen with a smirk on his face that was covered by his helmet as Clayton turned around he saw Nick huddled up with the six ponies trying to keep each other warm. "Good grief."Clayton said while facepalming "Whats the matter?" said Nathen as he pulled out a pack of cigarettes "What the hell is he doing."said Clayton "Just trying to be a good friend to them." Nathen answered offering a cigarette to him Clayton shook his head no saying "You know that shit will kill you." "Thats why I do it." Nathen said while takeing off his helmet and holding it with one hand and smokeing the cigarette with the other. Breathing out the smoke he repeated "thats why i do it."
