Seconds passed by and nothing happened. All three crusaders were behind cover and are not moving any time soon. The mare and her filly huddled close to the bandaged unicorn.
Before long, the trio heard hoof steps getting closer to the store. From the sounds of it, there were two ponies coming closer to the front door. Scootaloo looked expectantly at Apple Bloom to make their next move.
Apple Bloom could think of a couple ideas once the two ponies enter. They could get into a hoof fight and try to use the element of surprise on them. However, none of them knows what weapons they are carrying. Alternatively, Scootaloo could shoot at one of them. Their odds of surviving would be greatly increased.
As everypony could hear the shattered glass door swinging open, Apple Bloom decides to...
...have Scootaloo shoot one of unicorns.
...tackle them both.
