Star Sparkle went further east. Having lost the road, it is only an hour later she came to the house Fluttershy. She hoped to see in the house mistress, but it was empty. Filly went around all the rooms, and suddenly her eyes got ... gun and a note. Star took the note and read it:

"I leave it to my daughter when she comes here. That it is necessary for her to find me and survived. Twilight Sparkle ".

Star took the pistol 25 mm caliber and ammunition. She did not know how to use this thing. After all, she did not know anything about guns. However, he could be useful to her and so she took it with him.

Coming out of the house, she turned to the east. In Everyfree forest. Blizzard beginning to subside.

After another hour and a half, saw the Star City. Plaque at the entrance to it saying, "This is the perfection of our world! City Ark is made of 100% "green" materials. " What other "green" materials? Painted, or what?

Unicorn went into town and went on his snow-covered streets. Soon she saw a lone pony standing at the wall of a house and thinking about something. Star did not find anything better than to approach him and to cry.

- Hello!

Jerked in surprise, turned to her stallion, mare slid his eyes over, smiled and took out a knife, taking his long zuboyatku in his mouth and took a step to a small pony. Star drew back. Pony took another step ...

Suddenly out of the bushes with a wild cry Pegasus jumped, turned - on his wing separated metal plate and hit the villain in the throat. Dropping the knife and zahripev stallion fell to the ground, thin trickle of blood flowed from his mouth. Star Sparkle was horrified and shocked looking at the dying convulsions ponies, and did not even notice that Pegasus approached her. And when she saw screamed in terror and fell into the snow croup, front legs crossed on his chest.

- Do not worry, I will not hurt you. - Pegasus smiled.

- Who are you? - Star barely said because of fear.

- I'm proud of. Ark City guard. I'm sorry I scared you, but these ... These creatures are poisoned and I had to act quickly to save you.

- But how?

- Look - Gord took the gun and held it to the hoof muzzle - this barrel, it needs to bullet could fly the enemy - pointed to the store - this store, here are stored ammunition. When they run out, then I shop - then Gord, pointed hook - hook this release. You press and shoot the gun - the gun he handed unicorn - Try it. There, you see, there's almost an entire target?

Star took the pistol levitation, aimed and pulled the trigger.

- Cheer up, Star Sparkle, because the truth say, better luck next time.

Baby took aim again and began to shoot the target, draining the shop.
