Vinewhip POV

When we got to the edge of the Everfree forest, we saw organs just outside of the entrance. Stallions were celebrating, with bottles of the finest beer just spraying over everything.

"Well, guys, we might not get out of this alive, so we might as well, right?" Gunfire said, with a half- grin on his face.

"Amen!" Waterdrop and I said simultaneously. It brought grins to all of our faces as we got out of the car. Gunfire bent over the car, and he stuffed the keys in his jacket. We all walked (like a boss) to a wide white table.

"Uh, hi. We want to go into the Everfree forest, do we just walk in, or...?" Gunfire said, talking to the bored-looking stallion at the table.

"Well, you can write your names on this paper,your ages, and your estimated chance of living." the stallion said.

"Hey, Vinewhip, you write the best, why dontcha write on it?" Gunfire said, with an uneasy smile.

"Okay..." I said uncertainly. I looked at the damn paper, and read it. It read: (after I wrote our names)

Hammer Wood 27 100% DEAD

BARREL BREW 22 78% DEAD

DryIce 13 12% DEAD

Rough Draft 36 56% DEAD

VineWhip 15 33.34%

GunFire 16 33.34%

WaterDrop 14 33.34%

"Wait- Only four other stallions went in?" Waterdrop asked, with a puzzled look on his face.

"Yeah. All went KIA. Poor guys. Everyone else is mostly here to tease Nightmare Moon about becoming a rainbow." The stallion said, chuckling softly.

"Huh. Well, you guys, let's go!" Gunfire said optimistically.

"Oh, and also!" The stallion said after we turned. "Good luck out there." After this remark, Gunfire tipped his cap towwards him, and we walked towards the entrance.

"OOOOOOOOO! Some more guys are about to die!" A dark gray stallion chimed.

"Oh, my god!" somepony said. Everypony started raving on about fate and destiny.

So, here we are. Standing outside what sounds like certain death. How are we doing? Peachy!

"Gunfire! Why the hell are we doing this!? We're gonna DIE!" I shouted, trying to knock some sense into Gunfire.

"We're doing this because we have nothing else in our life except a cool car and an apartment." Gunfire said back at me. "Look, man. I understand if you don't want to go. You're big business! You're a DJ, for crying out loud! However, we're not. So if you're backing out, feel free. But we're not stopping for you." When he finished that fateful sentence he went into the deep growths of the forest.

"Hey, guys! wait up!" I shouted, as I galloped toward them.

"Huh. So you came." Gunfire said, merely looking sideways, and then looking back forward. All of a sudden, we heard rumbling. Gunfire and I got down, as Waterdrop flew upwards. I looked up, and saw two huge purple saws flying towards us. I ducked, and then when it seemed the saws were going to clash, they perked up, and headed straight for Waterdrop. He gasped, and flew up instantly. When he turned, the saws followed him. Waterdrop grinned.

"Gunfire! I'm going to lead them to you! When they're above you, place some C4 on it!" Waterdrop shouted.

"You got it!" Gunfire replied. He primed the C4 and got the detonator.

"Vinewhip! I know this is a tall order, but I'm going to need you to slow down time a bit!" Waterdrop shouted again, whilst zooming around.

"Um- B-b-but I-I-I'm N-not sure I c-can do that!" I said, chuckling softly.

"You've got to believe!" Waterdrop said, slightly infuriated. I mustered all the magic I could muster, and time froze. Gunfire effectively placed C4 on the saw facing him, and when time resumed it's normal pace, he detonated it.

Now, you may think, 'Awesome! Exploding things! Just like Call Of Duty!' Well, you're wrong. What Call Of Duty doesn't account for is shrapnel. And when you blow up a big-ass purple saw with C4, a lot of shrapnel arises.

"Gah!" Gunfire shouted, as he got a sharp piece of purple metal in his rest of it landed in his Kevlar. I put all of the unused magic into building a wall for myself, but Waterdrop was completely exposed. he used his wings to shield himself, which didn't work out so well.

A few seconds later, Waterdrop was on the floor, bleeding.

"Waterdrop, are you okay?" Gunfire said, crawling over to him. He took of his own jacket and put it on Waterdrop, who smiled meekly in response of this act of friendship.

"I'm fine. Let's push on." He said softly. We got up, and continued on our journey.

As we walked, we encountered a wooden bridge over lava. It looked old, so I just teleported across. (I'm such an ass, aren't I?) Gunfire urged Waterdrop to go first, and explained he couldn't come with. Waterdrop walked across, trying to step on the newest-looking ones. Halfway there, the bridge pegs started to give. He was almost there, when...

"Aaah!" He shouted. All of a sudden, I saw Gunfire jump, and toss Waterdrop upwards, And I caught him with my hooves. I saw Gunfire falling, and before he died, I saw him smile weakly, and tip his cap towards us. He then disappeared in flames. Waterdrop and I broke down. We leaned against each other and- I hate to admit it- cried. After a couple minutes or so, I stood up, and helped Waterdrop up.

"Let's keep going. We've already come this far, right?" Waterdrop said, lightening up. "Besides, it's what he would've wanted us to do- push on." He added, before I could contradict. I nodded, and we turned to see this huge broken down temple. We entered, until we saw the huge room where the Mane Six fought NightMare Moon for the first time. We basked. We looked around, and she was nowhere to be found. I then had an idea. I went to the far side, and knocked on the wall. It made a hollow sound. I blasted it with the last ounce of magic I had, and collapsed down the stairs. Waterdrop followed. As I picked myself up, Nightmare Moon stood there. We had found her lair. It was hot and hellish, flowing with lava, and covered with hellstone.

"Ah, finally. Some heroes worthy of dodging my traps. You will fall harshly, and quickly." She said, boasting. She raised this ghastly scythe, when out of nowhere, a familiar voice came. It said:

"Surprise, motherfucker!"

And then a slightly high-pitched gunshot. Nightmare Moon was puzzled. She turned around, and stood there, with a golden Winchester lever-action rifle, stood...

"Gunfire!" Waterdrop shouted. He had removed his hood by now, so he put it back on, took off the jacket, and unsheathed his shurikens.

I, on the other hand, cocked my Mac-10s. Gunfire walked across the space between us, and joined us with his gun. ightmare moon was then covered by bullets and shurikens, and soon enough she was bloodied on the floor. However, she got back up, and seperated us all. Gunfire was in the middle, and from what I saw over the wall of hellstone she raised, blood flew up. I started to tear again. But suddenly, the hellstone descended, and Gunfire stood with his Winchester, and Nightmare Moon was on the floor, with guts spilling out and a pool of blood. (And no head)

"Well, guys, goes to show that the power of buckshot as your last round proves epic." He said, with a sly grin on his face. He looked different, too. He didn't have brown hair with three spikes in his mane and tail; he had blue outer spikes, and an orange stripe through it. Before we could congratulate each other, a bright white light came upon us, and Princess Celestia came down. The three of us, bloodied and all, kneeled before her.

"Get up, boys. She ordered. We got up, and then she bowed to us. "You three always had the potential to defeat any obstacle in your way. You never managed to reach that power, though. Princess Ruby, take it away." And she stepped sideways, and a shorter, tan, *slightly*curly orange & deep orange mare came through, with a flame cutie mark stepped forward. And then, she spoke.

"You have used the power of friendship wisely, you three. Waterdrop. You had injuries beyond your imagination, but you put others in front of you. I bestow you with the Water element, for you are very easily convinced, and when convinced, you will always go that direction." She said, nodding at Waterdrop. Then, she looked at me. "Vinewhip. You didn't want to go on this journey, but you still went. You wanted to contradict with Waterdrop when he wanted to go forward. I bestow you with the nature element, or you are stubborn, but can easily compromise with your rival." She then nodded toward me. "Gunfire." she said, looking at him." You threw Waterdrop upwards because you thought he'd done more in his life than you. You faced certain death, and succeeded over it. I bestow you with the element of Fire, because you are very inspirational, even to us. Like a wild fire. These are the three elements needed to sustain life, which is what you did: sustain life in Equestria. Let's get you guys home." She ended, with a smile.

Told you so!
