The cider. Something many ponies love and would do anything to put their hooves on it. When three well-known cider lovers team up to get to the whole barn of it, nothing can stop them.

Well, almost nothing.

Rated Teen/Sex for innuendos. Mostly.

For many years, citizens of Equestria have lived in peace and happiness, protected by the princesses and the bearers of Elements of Harmony; but soon, everything will change. This time there are no villains or unspeakable dangers; there's just war, hate, and ponies giving and taking lives. From the streets of Detrot to the Royal Palace in Canterlot, each pony will rise up against his fellow pony, and one of them will not rise up to see another day.

Also has a spin-off, called The Nest

Warning: Beware of spoilers in the comments! The story contains swearing and gore.

Edit 4.03.2014: New version of the first chapter, fixed pacing and OOCness.

This story is a sequel to Tools

Reading "Tools" first strongly advised, as the story contains spoilers.
It's been three years since Toolsmith was caught. Physical and mental wounds were healed, and Equestria seems to come back to normal. Twilight works as a librarian, Rainbow Dash becomes a Wonderbolt, and Vinyl Scratch gets mugged in Detrot by a suspiciously familiar-looking mare... who looks for the new victims.

Proofread wonderfully by The11thWonder

Watching old movies is the newest Scootaloo’s hobby. Rainbow Dash, on the other hoof, has rather bad experience with the film industry. How will she react when she finds out that her biggest fan decided to explore this, previously unknown, aspect of her show business career?
Inspired partially by “Rainbow Factory” by AuroraDawn, and Bones’ episode “The Suit on the Set”
