"An ambassador of peace huh? And where ya from if ya dont mind me asking."

Lying never been my strong suit. And i knew that i would never get away with trying to lie even more.

"Weeeell you see" i said while slowly making my way towards her "Im from the past and-"

I was now close enough to her.

"Gasp! What is that behind you?"

"Say what?"

She turned around and i hit her in the head with the butt of the rifle. Either she had a very thick skull or i didnt hit hard enough, either way she just wouldnt get knocked out. Instead she turned to me and said

"Now what was that for? Ya know i dun think you are any ambassador at all. You are just some big bully that thinks he can mess me around! Well i wont have it, no sir. Im gona teach you a thing or two about what we do to bullies here at the farm."

And just like that before i knew it she kicked me right in the stomach. I stumbled back trying to recover from the sudden attack but instead i just got another kick in the face. Now my right eye was broken and if i lost the other one i would go blind. In my time of panic i pulled the old rusty pistol and tried to aim it at the pony. This rewarded me with another kick to the leg. With my only eye i once again tried to aim at the pony. I fired a couple of shots in her general direction and one hit her in her right front leg. She stumbled around for a bit with a shocked expression on her face. She looked at me and then fell over, the thought of finishing the job crossed my mind but it would be a waste of ammunition and besides the shots probably attracted som attention. I walked back to the forrest i came from and focused on trying to find the rest of the boxes. God have mercy on the ponies that gets in my way!

Twilight woke up to the sound of knocking on her door.

"Yea yea im coming" she said still tired and a little annoyed over this disturbance.

She opened the door to find a blue pegasus standing outside.

"Hey Rainbow what did you want?"

"It's Applejack! She's hurt!"

Twilight could see in Rainbow Dash eyes that she was worried.

"Oh Celestia! Is it serious?"

"They dont know. She hasn't woken up yet and the doctors just can't understand what could have caused the injury. You are good at this stuff Twilight! Solving mysteries i mean."

"I can try but maybe it was just some kind of animal."

"Fluttershy already took a look at it, well took a look it was more of a glimpse. You know how she is with blood. Anyway she said that she's never seen or heard of an animal that puts metal objects in their victims."

"Metal objects?"

"Well it's a small almost round metal thingy. You should really see it yourself."

"Ok i'll go there as soon as iv'e gotten something to eat."

"Super! I'll see ya later then."

Twilight would have bothered responding if she didnt already know Dash had already left without waiting for an answer. Spike had woken up during their conversation and made breakfast, a big bunch of waffles was standing on the table. After eating every single one of the waffles Spike went back to bed without a word and began snoring almost immediately and Twilight went to the Ponyville Urgent Care to see how her friend was doing and to solve this mystery. When she got there Applejack was still unconsius but the nurses let her into the room anyway. When she entered Applejacks room it wasn't Applejack that drew her attention it was the bloody piece of metal that was placed on a plate next to the bed. She then looked at the wound. It somehow reminded her of the hole in the box only smaller.

"Oh Applejack what did this to you?" she whispered.

Ofcourse she didnt get any answer from her uncounsius friend.
"I promise i'll find the thing responsible for this." She whispered.

Twilight made her way to the door but before she left she turned around and said.

"Well see you."

Still no answer.

As Twilight entered the sunlight again she had an idea. An extremely far-fetched idea but she decided to follow it through. She went back to the place where she scene of last nights events and started searching. She found the box but not what she was looking for. She walked along the path that she and Climber had ran. And there she found it! In a small hole in the ground not far from the path she found a small sharp metal object. This one was longer and bigger then the one found in Applejacks leg but the similarities were there. But this discovery only made her more worried. This proved that the creature is not only dangerous but deadly! Now she had to warn everypony and fast!

As i was walking around in the forest i found a big cave. This cave could work as a base of operations and hideout i just needed to check if it had any inhabitants and get rid of them. As i walked deeper into the cave i started noticing small things that were out of place. I saw not only electrical wires but also the lightbulbs they led to. It was simple, nothing covering the lightbulbs but dust and dirt. As i went further down i found an old steel door. "Keep out military personel only" the sign on the door said. But as i higly doubted that there were any human left on the planet more military then me i tried to push the door open. Took me some time to realise that i had to pull but the door still wouldnt open. I searched the door for any kind of opening mechanism. And right there under the layer of dust and spiderweb i found a lock. I didnt have a key but i did have something else. I started bending the shells open and emptying them off gunpowder. I poured the fine powder into the hole of the lock and pulled the pistol. I fired a single shot at the lock and a small explosion blew the lock mechanism right off. The door swung open and inside was the dream of any gun-nut ever to live!
