One month later…
The crosshairs of the scope scanned throughout town. I could see the occasional wanted poster and griffon cleaning up their messes but the town was still on lockdown as of now. It crushed me to see the town like this but it was the way it had to be. As long as I stayed away, nothing would be done to this town. I scanned with the scope of Alex’s rifle and saw that Twilight was searching for something. I didn’t think much of it. I just looked over the town as a feeling of dread built in my gut.
“Hey General,” I heard Dallas announce from behind me “We have griffons moving in from the north. We are going to have to leave soon.”
Dallas stood in front of the H2 as Atlanta sat on top, basking in the sun. I stood up with the rifle and looked back over the hill, down the scope. I could see the Elements gathering in the center of town. Dash flew in with a grim look on her face as Celestia appeared in a flash of light. She said something to the group before a griffon ran over and began to speak. He was immediately tackled by Dash as she attempted to stomp his neck in. I smiled a bit before looked back at Celestia who used her magic to separate the two.
“You get ‘em, girl.” I cheer her on even though she couldn’t hear me.
The griffon stood back up and brushed himself off before Celestia began to yell at him and he shrank away. I still hated Celestia’s fucking guts. It took everything I had in me not to pull the trigger right then and there. I grimaced as I watched Dash fly off in tears and the group disperse. Guilt overtook me as I lowered the rifle and turned back to Dallas and Atlanta.
“You alright General?” Atlanta asked as he turned his head from the sky to me.
“Yeah…” I said, not letting my weakness get the better of me “Let’s get the hell out of here.”
“Where will we go?” Dallas asked and walked up to me.
“As far away from here as we can get.” I answered, walking past him towards the H2.
“I hear the desert off to the west is a good place to hide. Buffalo raiders use it all the time.” Atlanta answered as he stretched out.
“Then that is where we are going.” I confirmed as I opened the driver’s side door and climbed in.
