Chapter 22: Ponyville Strikes Back

CHARLE'S P.O.V

It's been a week since Rick said the Dazzlings were staying. Carl was about to walk out of the hospital since the herd came through. We were close to rebuilding the walls. Eugene recently suggested that we piled dirt against the walls, it would give us support and allow us to cross the wall and dispose of corpses.

"That's a great idea, Eugene." Twilight said.

"Why, thank you." Eugene responded.

We weren't able to talk more as Rick came in with Carl not far behind. We saw the bandage covering his missing eye.

"Hey, kid." Daryl said.

"Good to see you alive." Dewy said.

"How long was I out?" Carl asked.

"About a week." Twilight said.

Then the Dazzlings walked out.

"So, we're staying?" Aria asked.

"Yeah. It was Rick's call. Let's all hope it was a right one." Dewy said.

"It was." Norman said in Rick's defense.

"So, I arranged this meeting for a few words: How many more?" Rick asked.

"What do you mean?" Twilight asked.

"How many more of us have to die before we do somethin'?" Rick asked to us.

"We're done hiding. If you want us to fight, so be it." Dewy said to him.

"He's right. We can't hide forever. Rick, I saw their Walkers. That wasn't even a quarter of them. Here's what we should do, we should destroy the Walker dome, and let them loose." Norman said.

"We need to make sure no-one gets out, NO-ONE." Dewy said.

"So we should set up snipers?" T-Dog asked.

"Yeah. There's only one door out. We could send a few Resistors inside the wall." Dewy said.

"How about the Walkers?" Lee asked.

"We have a way of blending in..." Dewy said.

"Guts, right?" Rick asked.

"Not guts, skin. Rain doesn't wash off skin." Dewy said to us.

"It's pretty affective." Paul said.

Aaannd there goes my appetite.

"Well then, moving along..." Twilight said.

"We need snipers on the windows, on the gates, and on the way out the factory. We need to insure no-one survives this." Rick said.

"First, I have a question. Dewy, you said Adagio had 2 spare amulets?" Spike asked.

"Yeah. Why?" Dewy asked back.

"Well, how did they get 'em?" Spike asked.

"Oh, Celestia..." Twilight said.

"What?" I asked her.

"Come on, I know where they're getting them from." Twilight said.


After a half-hour of following Twilight, we came across a mountain near Ponyville. We ran in and saw a man above a lake with a bag-- a bag filled to the top with the Siren Amulets!

"Stand down!" Twilight said with her horn glowing.

"Never..." The man said as he raised his gun.

Twilight blasted it out of his hand, breaking his trigger-finger instantly. As he cried in pain, I blasted him to the ground. I was about to shoot him when I saw he was unconscious.

"Now what?" I asked Twilight.

"We take him back; tell the others what we saw." She said to me.

RICK'S P.O.V

We waited for the others for about an hour. We finally saw them coming back with a man held hostage and a bag next to them.

"Who is that?" I asked.

"We don't know. He'll be out for an hour." Twilight said.

"What's in the bag?" Dewy asked alarmed.

Twilight placed the bag on the ground and opened it. What came out was over 50 Siren Amulets!

"Oh, my God..." Aria said.

"No way." Dewy said.

"What is this?" Glenn asked.

"Siren Amulets. Over 50 of them. They're making an army." Twilight said.

We brought the prisoner to the medical bay where he was patched up. I looked at him and saw his resemblance to Daryl. Dewy came in and stood in shock.

"I know this guy." Dewy said.

"Who is he?" I asked.

Then Aria walked in as the prisoner woke up.

"Dwight?" Aria asked breaking down.

"A-Aria?" Dwight whispered.

He got up and limped to Aria.

"Aria, I am SO SORRY. What did she do to you?!" He asked panicking.

"It's okay. It's okay." Aria said hugging Dwight.

Dwight then saw Dewy.

"Hey. Dwight, right?" Dewy asked.

"Yeah. You still have my crossbow?" Dwight asked.

"Yeah. It saved my life on some occasions." Dewy said.

Aria was shell shocked. I couldn't see it, but I knew.

"Is he..." I asked.

"Yeah. It's him." Sonata said behind us.

"I... I have no way of apologizing." Dwight said.

"It's alright. We both know if you said no, she would've killed you. I get it." Aria said smiling.

"What we're you doing?" I asked him.

"What do you mean?" Dwight asked.

"We saw you duplicating the amulets. Why?" Morgan asked.

"I wasn't cloning them, I was destroying them." Dwight said.

"How do we know you're not lying?" Twilight asked.

"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. I want Adagio DEAD. I'll bring her head in a platter if you want." Dwight said to us.

"Are you sure?" Norman asked.

"I'm sure." Dwight said.

"We need a way in. Can you tell us?" I asked him.

"There's a run tomorrow. It's not far from Canterlot High. Negan will be there. If you take him hostage, I'll tell you everything I know." Dwight offered.
