//------------------------------// // Ambushing... // Story: The Grid // by Valuable Ashes //------------------------------// The trio hid behind various spots to attempt to ambush the stallion. Since there was not a whole lot of time, one was barely in position when he jumped over the window. Apple Bloom was hiding behind the freezers, Sweetie Belle hid behind the metal shelf, and Scootaloo vaulted over the counter. Once the stallion was over the broken windows, he sprayed his gun all around him but nowhere near where he thinks his wife is. When he is visibly calming down, he started to move around the mini-store. When he set hoof on the open side of the store beside the dirty table in the middle, Apple Bloom tackled his hooves causing him to fall on his barrel. Before he could shake off the yellow earth pony, Scootaloo jumps from the counter and onto his back. Sweetie Belle came in and yanked the SMG away from his magical grip and sat on flank for good measure. Suffice to say, he wasn't getting out of there soon. Apple Bloom duct taped his hoofs and muzzle and Scootaloo ran around giving first aid to the unicorn mare who got shot in the leg. When the police and ambulances came, they were questioned and were released after collecting enough evidence and interrogating witnesses. On the road home, Scootaloo and Apple Bloom were questioning themselves on their fight back there. The pony Apple Bloom bucked could be dead or in a coma right now and Scootaloo outright killing the stallion with the pistol made her feel queasy. Maybe they weren't cut out for doing actual justice. At the end of the day, the militia has been disbanded and the trio continued to go on with their lives. Apple Bloom became the smartest of them all with 11 PhDs and now works as an engineer. Sweetie Belle works with her sister and Scootaloo becomes a celebrity with all her cool tricks on her scooter. REALIZATION ENDING Restart
