Disclaimer: I do not own MLP that right goes to Hasbro, and Lauren Faust. The Fan-fiction idea is mine though. Lone wolf looked at her captain, as the cyan Pegasus Rainbow Dash paced for what seem like hours. "Commander, please settle down, I'm sure your marefriend is going to pull through." The pale blue Pegasus stated softly, knowing how Rainbow Dash was when it came to Fluttershy. "You don't know that for certain, do you Lone wolf!" The cyan Pegasus mare snapped back, fresh hot tears formed in those strong red eyes. After awhile Finder emerged, but smiled at Rainbow Dash. "She's going to be fine now, all our yellow friend needs is some rest, but she can't go into battle out of risk for further damage." The red unicorn with the blue mane stated, as Rainbow Dash rushed into the room Fluttershy was in. Twilight sighed in relief hearing about her friend. "Seems Fluttershy will have to be put on duties in the base for now, but I'm glad she made it." The princess stated as her friend Rarity nodded. "Yes darling, very good news indeed. But Twilight, it seems we have some orphaned ponies on our hooves, and Fiery Fusion is doing her best to help." The white unicorn mare stated, looking at the orange earth pony, with the fiery red mane. Twilight sighed, but patted Rarity's shoulder. "We're going to make Red Shadow pay for all this, don't you worry Rarity, all you need to do is focus on creating our battle armor, after all you're the best designer in Equestria." She smiled as her friend nodded. Applejack came in with Silver Wind, bringing in some food for everypony. "Soup's on everypony!" She called as many lined up for her famous apple treats. Silver Wind smiled a bit, yet the warrior silver Pegasus with the pitch black mane was grounded with a broken wing, forcing her to help in the kitchen. "Young fillies and the elders first!" She stated giving the old ponies and small fillies some food. "Yum!" Scootaloo smirked eating a daffodil sandwich. Sweetie Belle sat beside her friends eating some salad. "Geez Scoots, you got some on your face!" She giggled as the orange filly Pegasus wiped it off. Apple Bloom was giving the elderly some food, smiling since she wanted to help. "I 'ope I get my cutie mark!" She cooed in her cute little western accent, just like her sister Applejack does. Outside Lone wolf sighed, yet flew into the sky on her daily patrol. The pale blue pegasus looked around, yet she spotted a greenish silver earth pony getting ganged up on by several non-mecha ponies. "Give us the goods girlie, and we'll leave ya alone." One pegasus smirked, showing that he had yellowish teeth. The mare smirked slightly, much to Lone Wolf's surprise, soon she witness the earth pony buck the living snot outta the three ponies who ganged up on her. "Whatever, buh bye now." She stated flipping her short brown mane back, as she walked away. Lone wolf was slightly stunned at the mare, yet she knew the resistance could use someone with strong legs like those, yet before she could stop her, the mare was thrown back into some rocks by a mecha goat. "Ow..." The mare winced, slowly getting up. "Aw crap, it's a mecha." She growled but blinked seeing Lone Wolf ram herself into the goat sending it flying. "Eh?!" "Run towards the south, then at a giant rock looking like a feather, turn right, there you'll find a young mare named Midnight, she's our top assassin. She'll guide you to the resistance, now go!" Lone wolf ordered as she growled at the goat who was now was standing on it's back hooves, holding saw blades for their frontal hooves. The mare blinked, but saw how Lone wolf charged in, without fear. 'I refuse to run!' She thought stubbornly. 'I Mystical Valley will never turn my back to an opponent!' The goat's jaws opened as a missile was shot out, breaking off the thick steel armor that coated Lone Wolf's left hoof. "Kill..." It stated walking towards the pale blue pegasus, who stood her ground. Lone Wolf narrowed her brown eyes and charged in, using her nearly broken off armor to break the chain saws that where the goat's front hooves. "Heh, you think you can kill me do ya?!" She smirked watching it short circuit and fall to the ground. Mystical Valley smirked seeing that, yet in seconds, blood scattered across the brown wastelands. "I told you... To run..." Lone Wolf coughed as three vicious bleeding crimson red gashes were seen on her right side, just barely missing her wing. 'How clever, using the weaker goat to hide the fact that a vicious lion was ready to strike.' Mystical Valley saw Lone wolf fall her body now coated in blood, yet the mecha lion was ready to deliver the final blow with it's large bear trap like jaws. "Leave her alone!" The mare roared bringing one of the mecha goat's sharp knives right into the lion's skull, killing the machine as it exploded. Mystical Valley had dragged the injured Lone Wolf out of the way before the major boom, yet the pegasus was heavy with the armor on. Slowly the earth pony took off the armor, yet burned the wounds shut with some matches she carried. "Sorry, but I don't have any bandages." She stated softly as Lone wolf moaned from pain. After awhile the noble pegasus was resting in the infirmary, her wound freshly bandaged, yet Mystical Valley entered the room, coming beside Lone Wolf's bed. Fluttershy blinked seeing the mare, yet smiled a bit seeing that the pegasus who had always been alone, had a friend beside them. "Yay." She cooed with her voice barely heard. Beside the yellow pegasus, Rainbow Dash nodded smiling a bit at the two. "Yay indeed Flutters."
