Fang followed Jack closely not because he was the only one with any light but because she didn't fully trust the zebra although he had no reason to work with the zebra alliance she knew that sometimes no reason isn't a reason to trust. She looked about, the sewers were small, dank, and cold oddly. They only went half a block before running into a collapse and Jack used this time to ask the zebra something. “So why are you run from the zebra army?” was Jack's question.
“Wait you don't know about the Treaty Incident.” The zebra said.
“No why.” Jack responded.
The zebra stopped at a three way intersection then said, “This way, it should be a straight shot to a exit.” The zebra took a right turn and Jack and Gang followed. The zebra then said, “By the way name's Zion.” Fang noticed Jack seemed to be shocked by the zebra’s name.
Jack said, “I'm Ja.”
Fang quickly cut him off and said, “He is Tank Hunter and I'm Fang.”
Zion nodded without looking back and Jack turn and gave her a look that said ‘opps’. Zion started to explain the Treaty Incident. “A few years before the Zebra Alliance or United Zebra Nations or whatever you call it, attacked Equestria. The was tension between the UZN and the nation of Sandra. Most of the tension came from the fact that in most of zebra culture those born with red stripes are gifted or special.”
Seeing the zebra had stopped for a moment Jack chose to ask, “But how would simply being gifted cause tension?”
Zion laughed then continued, “That's the thing because zebras like me were gifted many looked up to us and we are a peaceful race of zebra and after the formation of the UZN, Sandra was the only zebra nation that wasn't under one banner. We refused and we payed the price. They signed a treaty then before we knew it they had moved their army into Sandra and forced our government out.” Zion sighed.
Jack looked at Fang and said, “Wow I'm sorry to hear that.”
Fang thought, would Jack feel sorry for me. I wouldn't want him to.
They must have been at the exit because Zion stopped. There was a few rays of light shining through the ponyhole cover above him. Zion climbed up the ladder and pushed the cover off and crawled out Jack and Fang followed. When Fang got out she saw Zion with his hoofs over his head lying on the ground as Jack was talking a pony who was pointing a gun at Zion down. He cares for those he trusts. He cares kept going through Fang’s head as she watched.
A hoof touched her shoulder and a voice said, “Well good to know you made it back alive.” Fang whirled around only to see a bandaged Camouflage smiling at her. “Well we should get you two to our tent.” He said as her started walking. Fang followed.
Fang asked, “Everypony else here and what happened to you?” as they walked by Jack she waved for him to follow and as he did Zion stopped him and said something before letting him go.
“No just Raz has made it back yet, and as for me, a bullet some how went through my armor and the pieces were stuck in me but I'll be back in fighting condition in no time.” Camouflage said as they walked towards a area filled with tents.
“What the heck happened?” Jack asked as he caught up to them.
“Well this was the main target for the artillery bombardment that happen earlier and well to say the least, we lost a lot of ponies.” Camouflage answered.
Fang then asked, “Did Revenant make it?” She wasn't really sure what Gustav planned but she hoped they got here.
“Revenant? Oh the mystery tank, ya they're here in fact the tank’s commander is talking with Princess Luna.” Camouflage said.
Fang stopped, “Princess Luna is here why?” she asked alarmed. Jack looked a bit confused but so was she.
“I don't really know why but her personal guards are here and a Tank I've never seen. Do you want me to take you there?” Camouflage said.
“No is there anything we can help with?” Fang asked.
“Yes there is a lot. Here I'll take you to the tent me and Raz got and you can drop off your stuff.” Camouflage answered.
They started walking again and now were in the main tent area when Jack asked, “So Camouflage you said you had a mare here before the war, what was she like.”
Camouflage looked at him with a bit of a smile, “I normally wouldn't talk about her but sometime just thinking about the mare you love can help you get through anything. Well she was tall slender, her coat was frost white and her mane a very light gray. Hehe we had fun times she wanted to write books, so we would stay up late and make up stories. Her parents named her Calk but I called her Aurora.” Camouflage smiled and said, “Sorry if I rambled.”
Both Fang and Jack smiled and Fang said, “She sounds like a fun mare.”
Camouflage stopped in front of a ten and said, “This tent right here.”
Fang and Jack followed Camouflage into the tent. The tent was about 15 feet by 15 feet and had four cots, each one had a locker at the foot of it. As Jack went over to one of the unclaimed cots and took his gear off she did the same. She lied her gun, knife, grenades and harness on her cot and did a quick check over. Her rifle looked good, her knife was sharp, the grenades weren't dented and her harness wasn't cut or ripped anywhere.
“Well ready to get to work?” Camouflage asked.
“Ya one second. Tank Hunter what did Zion say to you?” Fang asked.
Jack looked at Fang and said, “He asked that if I make it to any zebra bases to look for his wife and daughter, Zea and Zo. I told him I would do my best.”
