'Now then, where is the saloon that Sunny smiles is supposed to be in.' I think to myself as I search through the town.

I look in my inventory on my Pip-Buck.

'Yep, everything is just as I left it. Heh, will you look at that, the doctor gave me some additional Spell-packs.'

I equipp my trusty Magic(Power) pistol and continue on searching for the saloon.

"This town is so small, It can't be that hard to find one stinking saloon!" I say angrily

"You wouldn't happen to mean this saloon would you?" a mare who lookes about my age with a light red but not quite pink, almost a dark rose color coat and her mane is a little bit lighter colored than that. He cutie mark is a red smiley face with a pair of small rifles making an X behind it. She has a small rifle on her side which has the trigger hooked up to a bite trigger hanging in front of her mouth.

"I take it your Sunny Smiles."

"Eeyup. You must be that Flare fellow that Doc brought back from the great beyond."

"The one and only 100% living zombie. 0% dead. The Doc said that you would be able to help me find the ponies who killed me."

"All I know is that one of them had a checkered jacked and he seemed to be calling the shots. He had a pair of Iron Will's with him so he either had serious money or he's a Will and you have some serious enemies. Hope that helps."

"Not really but thanks anyways. Do you know where Trudy is. Doc said that she might know more." I ask her

"I just saw her in the saloon. You cant miss her, she's the one behind the counter. Probably gonna be the first one to say hello. Tell her I sent you and heck, maybe you'll get a discount."

"Thank you very much. I'll be sure to tell her you sent me. By the way, which building is the saloon"

"It's the one that has the image of a glass of hard apple cider." she said jokingly.

"I thank you kindly."

I finally find the building she was talking about after another 30 minutes and I feek like a complete moron because it has been right in front of me this whole time. I could seriously have facehooved at my own lack of observance, but I let this one slide for me due to the whole just died factor. The building looked very old-timey, due to the fact that not very many building or anything for that mater had been built since the war. I went in the first thing I saw was a wall. A wall dividing what looked like a billiards area with the bar. I walked over to the bar and found Trudy. She was arguing with what looked like a stallion from the NCRCF(short for New Coaltafoalnia Republic something something) based on the bulletproof vest he was wearing.

"I'm done being nice. If you don't hoof over Ringo soon, I'm gonna get some of my friends and where gonna burn this town down. Understand." A black, like pitch black unicorn pony with a cutie mark that looked like an explosion was threatening a pony who looked like Trudy.

"We'll keep that in mind. Now if you aren't here to purchase anything, would you be so kind as to git out." Trudy said angrily.

With that, the pony who was looking for someponey named Ringo ran out.

"Hey kid, welcome to the Prospector Saloon. Name's Trudy, and you must be that Flare fellow that the Doc fixed up." Trudy welcomed.

'Where have I heard that' I thought to myself. "That's me. Nice to meet you Trudy. Yes, I am Flare. You know, if Sunny hadn't pointed me to where your place is, I may have not found it. Anyways, I'm looking for the people who killed me, you know what happened or where they were going?" I asked her.

"Well, there were 3 of them, two Iron Will's and one fellow who looked like a definite city type. Probably either from New Pegasus or somewhere of the like. He was calling the shots. They were so stuck up as to think that they could get themselves free drinks, but I got them to pay up, but not before they broke my radio. Anyways, I overheard them while they were planning their route. They wanted to get to New Pegasus without taking the main trail. That means that they would have to make a huge circle around the monster pit in order to get to New Pegasus, easily a couple week journey. If you want to catch them, their first stop was a city called Prim. The town has an Equestria Courier company stallion up there so he might be able to help you about your missing delivery. Does that help?" she asked

"More than you know. Could you just mark prim on the map of my Pip-Buck. Also, what's the best radio station for me to listen to out here?" I asked.

"Well, there's always DJ Pon-3's channel. Somehow, that pony has been broadcasting for nearly 350 years. I'm starting to think that the good DJ is a ghoul with a really good voice." she says jokingly. "Here, let me set your Pip-Buck's radio to the station frequency so you can hear the news and the best beats whenever you want. Also, rumor is, the DJ is actually out in New Pegasus broadcasting to us primarily but sends recordings back to Equestria. The DJ's assistant, Rex Drop, is out here to and let me tell you, the boy can't do radio worth a cap but he can remix the crap out of anything. Even invented a new type of music, dub-step I think he called it. It's on his own channel and everything since not everyone is for the massive bass usage in his songs. I heard that the good DJ moved because since the battle at the SPP main tower, there has been nothing juicy to report. Now then, is there anything that I could get you, if not please tell me now because we have a situation on our hand."

"What's the problem, maybe I could help." I tell her.

"Now I can't trouble you, you just got back from being dead."

"No I want to help, it's the least I could do for the town that saved my life."

"Well if you insist. A few days ago, a stallion from the Crimson Caravan Company galloped into town. Said he had just been attacked and needed a place to lay low. So I hid him up in the abandoned rest station jut up the hill north of here. It's just past Doc Mitchell's so it's not to far. Anyway, you saw the rascal who just left right."

"Yeah."

"Well, he was not NCR. His name is Joe Blow-em-up and he is a member of the Powder Gangers. Their just low level convicts without the chains. Turns out, giving convicts explosives and the means to use them is not the best of ideas. They escaped a two weeks ago, almost right before you came to town. Now they're planning to attack the town if we don't give him over. Now kid, I like you. If you can come up with a plan to help Ringo, I'll help and I'll even get some of the townspeople to join in. I'd suggest that you talk to Ringo first, see if he even wants to fight back. To be honest, I hope he doesn't want to fight."

"Thanks. I'll go talk to Ringo right now." I told her.

As I leave the saloon, I activate my wings sprinting feature, letting me run fast enough to get to the rest stop in 10 seconds flat. I then flared my gloriously shiny wings to so they would act as brakes so I didn't go splat through the building.

"Stop right there! Who are you. Wrong answer and I shoot to kill." A mysterious voice called from inside the building.

"My name is Flare! You must be Ringo! I am a friend and I want to help you with the Powder Gangers!" I yelled.

"Sorry about that! Come on in and lets start over shall we!"

'Nice guy, I guess.' I thought to myself.

When I walk inside, I see a pegasus pony with a charcoal gray coat and a crimson mane. He has on a crimson leather jacket and his cutie mark was a letter with bat wings.

"You must be from New Cloudsdale with those wings." Was the first thing out of his mouth.

"Yes. I am from New Cloudsdale and before you ask why I left it's because I can no longer fly with these wings. I can however fast travel by flapping them when I gallop keeping me air born for 20% longer than a normal leap. They help me jump higher to. I can even operate my weapons with them. Off topic. I'm here to help you get out of here alive and well, even if it means that we have to fight. So do you have any plans of attack?" I asked him

"Well, I'm certainly not sneaking out of here, that's for sure. That means that we will have to fight them off. Now, if we go at it alone, then we're both sharing the same grave. Now, if you could get the town to help us fight, then we might stand a chance. I would suggest starting with Sunny Smiles, she was a lot nicer than anyone else here. She'll know what to do."

"Thanks for the tip. If I can come up with a game plan, I can get Trudy in on the action and heck, with her, the town." I inform him.

"Nice." He said exuberantly. "Then we will really stand a chance."

When I went out the door, I ran into Sunny and it seemed like she was eavesdropping on our conversation beforehand.

"Sneaking much?" I ask her in a jokingly suspicious manner.

"Sorry about that, but I'm in by the way. I even have a plan of attack that you can use to bring Trudy into our operation." She tells me rather joyfully.

"Sweet, what is it?" I ask her.

"Well, we would ambush them out by the water tower, push them back. Then, you with your S.A.T.S. would use this 10mm pistol to take their heads clean off from wherever you wanted to be, but preferably on top of the water tower." She said as she gave me a 10mm pistol with that looked custom made with a purple grip with green accents.

"It's called Spike's Rage. I found it on a super gecko that was trying to steal from our water supplies. Don't ask me how it got on the beast, but I got it now. It has a little slot in the clip for Pyremagic so you can shoot bullets that are on fire if you want to deal that extra bit of damage. Normally, if I found an enchanted weapon, I would keep it for myself, but I am not exactly a pistol pony. What do you think?" she asked me.

"It's so devious and seems like a very good idea that it just has to work. Thanks for the gun by the way."

"No problem, I was gonna give the gun to you anyway but now I got a good reason to." she told me. "Here's some ammo for the gun. And I even have a little bit of Pyremagic to. Its enough magic for about 3 clips worth of shots so use it wisely."

"I thank you kindly for this spectacular weapon." I say as I thanked her. "I'll go tell Trudy about the plan and then hopefully, she'll be in."

After I said that, I reactivate the sprinting ability of my wings and dashed off to go tell Trudy the good news.

"Hey Trudy, I have a plan to defeat the Powder Gangers."

"I'm listening, pray do tell what this plan is." She inquired

As I told her the plan, I could tell that she was not into it a first, but then when I mentioned Spike's Rage, she got a whole new expression that told me she was in without her having to actually tell me that she was in.

"That plan would have worked like a glass full of holes if you, S.A.T.S., and Spike's Rage where not in it. I'm in, and I'm sure most of the town will follow suit. When your ready, we will be."

"Alright then, I say we wait for Sunny to tell us that they are coming, then I'll use my wings to get to the top of the water tower and wait, when you give the signal, I'll start picking them off one by one." I told her.

"Works for me, I'll just get ready and then..." she was saying as Sunny burst in

"Their here already!" she exclaimed

"How many are there?" I ask

"Six, including Joe!"

'Really, just six. That's nothing compared to what I used to be able to take on. But hell, maybe after getting shot in the head, a little back up from the town will be helpful and I wont die, again.' I thought to myself.

"Alright, I can fast travel thanks to my wings so they shouldn't even see me when I get to the water tower."

"No, there's not enough time, they're just outside the store. If we're gonna fight, it's now. When I last saw them, they had their dynamite already out and their lighters out to."

"Well Celestia dammit. Let's get this over with." I said as I get out my Magic(Power) pistol with my right wing and Spike's Rage in my left. "Let's do this." I said under my breath as I turn on the radio to Rex Drop's channel

. Went the bass to what I could only assume was dubstep.

When I ran out through the door I flared my wings and startled the Powder Gangers. Joe and two of his buddies quickly realize that I am only one pony and Joe starts shooting at me with the revolver in his mouth while trying to light a stick of dynamite through telekinesis. At the same time two of his buddies decide to rush at me, one with a cleaver, the other with a police baton. I slip into S.A.T.S. and the world seems to slow down around me. I guess that that's the induced extreme adrenaline rush talking. Anyways, I slipped into the targeting system as the Pip-Buck's neural interface took over. I took aim at the stick of Dynamite above Joe's horn. Target, check. Joe's amigo 1, head-shot target, check. Joe's Amigo 2, head-shot, check. Fire at will. Executing.

BANG! BOOOM!

PEW!

PEW!

All of my shots find their targets. Joe's dynamite exploded right over his horn when I shot it with a flaming bullet from Spike's Rage, causing his head to be vaporized instantly. Then Joe's two amigos where melted by my pistol.

POP! chkchk POP! chkchk POP! As Sunny's rifle shot two of Joe's friends, killing one and giving the second one a hole in his face.

BLAM! BLAM! followed as some of the townspoinies took care of the rest of the gang with their single shotguns.
