Chapter 5: Gaining Allies.
It was mid morning in the castle as Rainbow Dash walked into the main throne room with a yawn. As she rubbed her eyes with one of her hooves, she notice Twilight sitting at a table with a bunch of paper filling the entire thing.
"Umm, Twilight? Did you get any rest?" Dash asked her friend as she walked up to her and tried to poke her, but then Twilight suddenly burst up with a worried look on her face.
"Dash, we're so sucked." Twilight said as she continued to look through the papers on her table.
"What are you talking about?" Dash asked as she to got a worried look on her face as she looked at her leader.
"All those attacks did the job, but now I have no info on the other gangs." Twilight said as she stopped looking through her paper work long enough to look up at Dash.
"What, Bust you said you had informants in each of the gangs." Dash said as she did not understand what Twilight met.
"I did, but I had them leave before our little show of power last night." Twilight explained, but a side suddenly burst open and Spike ran inside.
"Guys, you might want to see this." Spike said as he ran towards the tv and then turned it on. As the picture came in, all three looked at it and they saw a tall, white stallion dressed in gold armor with a blue mane with a stream of white running through it and matching eyes. He also had a shield with a six point star in it and three stars above it. He stood up right with a few other guard in the back ground and a microphone was pressed in his face.
"Excuse me Shining Armor, can we have a word?" the news mare asked as he looked towards the camera.
"Sure, what is it?" Armor asked.
"Is there any info on the massive amount of bodies found earlier this morning?" the news mare asked as Armor let out a sigh before he answered.
"We have no knew info on this crime, but we will bring the culprits to justice." Armor said as he walked away from the camera and then Dash turned off the tv.
"Damn asshole. He didn't even mention they were all criminals." Dash said in a huff.
"Of curse he didn't." Twilight said calmly.
"What do you mean?" Dash asked confused.
"He didn't want every pony to know that some one took down several dangers criminals." Twilight said as she looked from the tv and went back to her paper work as she continued, "But right now, we have more troubling things to worry about."
"What's wrong?" Spike asked as he looked at Twilight.
"I had my informants leave the gangs just in case some pony found them out, but now I don't have any one to help us find out how to stick it to the other gangs." Twilight with a slight annoyed tone to her voice a she repeated her self.
"Hmmm, oh. I know." Spike spoke up as he got both mare's attention before he continued, "My old babysitter. She some how knew when and where gangs were going to attack, and kept me safe for most of my life."
"Great, just what we need. An old cheerleader." Dash mocked.
"Dash is right Spike, what can she do to help us exactly?" Twilight asked a she was not sure where Spike was going with this.
"Simple, since she knows stuff about the gangs, maybe she knows some pony with an axe to grind." Spike explained his idea and this made both Dash and Twilight think fore a few minutes until Twilight spoke up.
"Hmmm, not a bad idea. Where does she live?" Twilight asked. Spike pulled paper off the table until he saw a mapa nd then pointed to a small house in the woods.
"Here, near the edge of the Gem Busters area." Spike pointed out the place she lived at.
"'whistle' She lives out there." Dash said as she groaned and then she turned to the side., and began to head off towards the back.
"Where are you going?" Twilight asked.
"I'm going to load up, we are heading really close to the Busters and they might want revenge." Dash explained as she continued to head towards the back with Spike quickly followed her.
A little while later in the big office building, Iron Wills looked through some reports of his shipment and the amount he had lost since the Saint's had appeared. As he read them and began to get mad at them, the door to his office burst open and as he turned towards it, he saw Flam standing there, breathless.
"Yes?" he asked as he put the paper work down and look at the unicorn.
"Sur, we found to of the attacks are heading towards the wood near are area." Flam said as he smiled nervously.
"Good, send a few groups to take them out once and for all." Iron said as he appeared to be in a better mood as he returned to his paper work.
It had been a couple of leaving the castle, Dash and Spike were cruising around in roads in the woods. It was in the late of the afternoon, and Dash was starting to get annoyed as hell as she continued to groan.
"Damn it, Spike. Can't you remember where this damn girl is?" Dash asked in an annoyed tone.
"Lay off, she showed me when I was to young to know what a map was." Spike defended himself as she quickly looked at him in shock and until she faced forward and shock her head.
"Are you kidding me, damn you Spike." Dash said as she lean against the door, and it was then that she notice a truck following them and then she spoke, "Ah, Shit."
"What?" Spike asked.
"Some Gem Busters are following us." Dash said as she placed both her hooves on the wheel and then floored it.
"Ah, hell." Spike said as he looked behind them and then faced forward. As he faced forward, he began to dig under the front seat and dug out a tommy gun. He pulls back the handle to get it ready for action, and then he stood up, turned, and let out a line of bullets towards the truck. The ones in the truck began to return fire and there they were, driving through the wood with bullets hitting and damaging trees from all over. They continued to fire at each other until Spike stopped firing.
"What's wrong?" Dash asked as she turned to him as he sat down and began to fiddle with his gun.
"Jammed." Spike said as he tried to get to work while they were continuously being fired at. As he tried to work, Dash leaned forward and opened the glove compartment, she then pulled out a grenade and smiled wickedly.
"Then hold on Spike." Dash said as she suddenly hit the breaks and skidded until they hit the truck, she then pulled out the pin and tossed it over her shoulder throw a hole in the windshield Spike had made. She then quickly sped off and with in a few seconds, they both heard an explosion and fireball. As it appeared in the window, they looked at each other and smiled as they high hooved each other.
About an hour of driving on even more, Dash and Spike had finally arrived at the drive way that lead them to the a large cottage with a large garden around it and dozens of woodland creatures running.
"Wow." Dash said as she walked over to the area and then she took a deep breath, and spoke again, "Spike, we're dead."
"What?" Spike asked as he was replacing his tommy gun with an AK-47.
"We died and I'm in hell." Dash said as a few birds fly around and chip a happy song. It was then that they suddenly heard a humming tune enter their ears and they bother turned to see a yellow Pegasus with a pink mane and a three butterflies as her cutie mark. She continued to hum and dance around, but she notice them and she quickly screamed in fear.
"AHHHHHH. What are you doing here?" the Pegasus asked as she quivered in fear as she watched Dash and Spike walk up to her, but then she stopped as she laid her eyes on Spike and then she smiled happily as she ran up to him and scooped him up in her hooves as she spoke again, "Oh, Spike. Long time no see, how are you?"
"I'm fine, Fluttershy. Can you put me down?" Spike asked as blush formed on his face and she did.
"Oh, sorry. Please, come in and relax." Fluttershy said as she lead them to her cottage. As they entered, Dash looked around and gagged a little as she saw lassie pillows and couch. "What can I get you to drink?" Fluttershy asked from the kitchen.
"A beer would be nice." Dash asked as she sat down on the soft couch and sank into it a little. After a few minutes, Fluttershy walked out with a tray that had three bottles on it.
"Sweet." Dash said as she took one of them and drank it quickly, but she even more quickly spat it out as she yelled, "What the hell? This isn't beer."
"Yes it is, root beer." Fluttershy said as she and Spike drank it, and Dash let out a groan as she leaned back. After they finished their drinks, Spike throw away the bottle and then turned to face Fluttershy.
"Shy, can I ask you something?" Spike asked as he looked at her.
"Yeah, what is?" Fluttershy asked as she looked at him with a smile.
"Ummmm,...well..." Spike stuttered as he was not sure if he could ask her, but Dash could.
"Look toots, we need your help to take out the gangs running this town." Dash asked as she sat there, but suddenly turned to face towards the window.
"Oh, no. I don't want to get involved with them. That's why I live out this far." Fluttershy said as she looked at them with a cute smile on her face.
"Please Shy, we could really use your..." Spike was pleading, but was cut off by Dash.
"Get down." she yelled as she flow a few feet and pushed them both down as bullets began to rain through the walls.
"What are they doing here?" Fluttershy asked as she placed her hooves over her head, and a s she did, she saw blood running down Dash's right front hoof.
"They must have followed us." Dash said as she rolled to the side and pulled out her pistol, she then looked at Spike and smiled at Spike as she asked, "Spike, you ready?"
"Hell ya." Spike said as he crawled toward his AK and then he clocked it as the two readied to fight for all three of their lives.
TBC.
Both Spike and Dash are pinned down in Fluttershy's cottage by the Gem Busters with her inside with them. They have low ammo and Dash is injured. Death seams to be close to them, but will unlikely ally come to help?
Well, that was the chapter. I hope you enjoyed reading it and will review.
