AN: Still taking oc's. I have my first two secondary ponies but still need the last of the companion ponies. Also, if you haven't figured it out already, the 4th wall means nothing to me.

After I triggered the biofield, we had to leave the Flutterstable with it immense quantities of Taint. We decide to make camp in the secluded cave that hides the entrance to the stable.

"OK, thanks for saving my ass. I suppose I should reward you now. Here is the Green Opal and now I I'll use my medical expertise to patch you guys up." Twilight says to us.

She uses her three horns to make the magic that heals us, her right horn alleviates the pain, her left horn gets rid of any side-effects that we may have gotten such as radiation and internal bleeding, and her middle horn fixes up everything else. I can tell because her middle horn has a black glow and so do my scratches, my upper head is surrounded in the same sky blue glow as her right horn, and her left horn is glowing midnight blue but I can't see any glowing outside me that matches that color but I can feel myself getting better than before.

"This feels good." Hawkens says as he relaxes. "Hey Flare, if you want me to, I can hook up your Green Opal attachment if you want. I put it together when you were bargaining with the robot. FYI, the memory transfer rate is for every 5 min. of memory, the transfer time is, on average, 1 min."

"Thanks." I say as I put the sphere into a sort of three prong grip that is on the end "Dang, this is a 5 minute download. Must be one heck of a memory."

After 5 minutes had passed, Twilight has finished healing Hawkens and I, I feel that it is time to look at the memory.

"Twilight, Hawkens, ya want to see what this memory has in store for us?" I ask them

"Why not." They both say and then give each other a strange look.

I turn my Pip-Buck to projector mode and a beam of light shoots out of it to the door or the Flutterstable. It turns color and now we see a pale yellow pony with a pink mane and a cutie mark of three butterflies's made of hazardous materials containers.

"Look Healingshy." The pony whose memories we were seeing said. "I don't care what you say; we are not going to test the medical properties of Taint on anypony. You saw what it did to Trixie. The video feed was plenty to tell me the horrors of Taint. We are not going to have a Trixie level disaster on our hooves."

"Um, well, this is my facility, and I say we say what we can and can't do. If you remember the video, which I am sure that you do, the Taint that Trixie had absorbed allowed her to revive Twilight Sparkle. Do you remember why I am the Overmare at this Protostable?" Healingshy asks our host.

"Uhh. Because you are a direct descendent of Fluttershy, the original Overmare of this facility, before she left to help her friends and went missing in the Everfree Forest over 100 years ago."

"That is correct Red Cross. Besides, I already gave the order to flood the basement level with Taint, after pumping it full of toxic gas."

"YOU DID WHAT? I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS, YOU REALLY HAVE GONE INSANE." Red Cross exasperates. "You realize that if your little plan WORKS, we are going to have an ARMY of ALICORNS that we will have to deal with!"

"Not true, if you remember, Twilight had only experiment with taint on unicorns, but on the basement level, there are unicorns, earth ponies, and pegasi. This test will be a reputable treasure trove of data."

"But what about Empathy. Are you seriously going to seal away Empathy? Empathy is part of the mechanism that will save all of ponykind from any threat imaginable. Celestia, I hoped that it didn't come to this." Red Cross says as he pulls out some sort of pink grenade launcher.

When he pulls it out, Healingshy get a look of extreme worry on her face.

"Where did you get, that?"She asks Red Cross.

"I see you recognize the Friendship Cannon prototype. I managed to get it sent to me by one of my friends at Pinkie Pie's Protostable. Its design is most impressive. It has the ability to send anything in its blast radius directly to the Ministry of Moral headquarters in Canterlot, but seeing as that is immersed in the pink vapor, survival is 0%."

"But won't you get caught in the blast as well?"

"Have nice day." Red Cross says to Healingshy in a Russian accent before he shoots the weapon.

He misses her completely and the grenade explodes in a cloud of confetti that stretches just far enough from the corner of the room to Healingshy. The next second, everything in the radius of the explosion is gone, just a perfect circle indent in the wall and ground.

"I guess that I will just have to wait until the Taint washes down through the grates before I can get to Empathy. The only problem is time. Taint is a very coagulative liquid. I can handle the mutts that Healingshy created with the Friendship Cannon. Until then, all I can do is wait."

And then the memory ends.

"So that's what this does." Twilight says while levitating the Friendship Cannon prototype out from her saddlebags."

"Is that thing still operational? Hawkens asks nervously

"Don't know, but only one way to find out." She says as she points the gun at Hawkens.

"WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU DOING YOU CRAZY B*TCH!" Hawkens yells.

"Relax crazy wings, I'm just joking."

"I wonder what he meant when he was talking about Empathy. He seemed pretty pissed when he heard that Empathy was being flooded over." I pipe in.

"Well, I say that we get to sleep. After all it's like what, 3 a.m." says Hawkens

"Well guys, I am ready to sleep. No touchy." She jokes. "Or I will melt your brains." She says a lot more serious and gravely.

Hawkens and I both sweat drop.

I am the last one to wake up in the morning. It seems that Hawkens did some repairs to my wings while I was sleeping.

"AAAAHHH." I yawn. "So what's for breakfast?" I ask.

"Well I made a carrot and cactus stew and there is still a bit left if you want some. Twilight had her fair share."

"It was delicious. Never would have taken Hawkens here to be a chef." Twilight compliments him.

By Celestia it was one of the best makeshift meals I had ever had. I turn the Radio on to DJ Pon3s station.

"GOOD MORNING PONIES OF THE MIDDLE GROUND. This just in overnight. Our favorite Cyberpegasus and his new amigo have rescued a young unicorn from a hoard of mutts located in the Flutterpeak mountain range, which separates Goodsprings from Prim. In more recent news, the Powder Gangers have attacked a group of tribal zebra in their village with no prior aggression from the zebras. Apparently, the Gangers have taken the head warrior and elder of said tribal's hostage in exchange for resources that the zebra are allegedly guarding. With any luck, our favorite Cyberpegasus will save her from captivity as well as an eventual trade into the Legion. Speaking of the Legion, it seems that the Caesar of the Legion has a new personal slave. I really pity this pony because of what happened to the Caesars previous slaves. On a better note, The NCR has recently pushed back an attack by the Legion near Hoover (No pun required here) Damn. Until next hour, this is DJ Pon-3 signing off for a little while, now for some music. It's "You Gotta Share" by Spaghetti Western Ft. Wild Joe (Actual song by Eurobeat Brony).

"Well, here's a story, a little pink pony told me, about friendship

Bill, you just grab that banjo over there, ya that's it. Alright Bill, hit it."

2 and a half minutes of banjo and saloon piano music with the occasional "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAA!" later.

"Hey Joe?

Yeah Ralf?

How do we play these instruments with just hooves and no hands?"

A brief pause later

"Shut up Ralf."

"So where to next Flare?" Twilight asks me.

"Well, I'd say that we have well as any reason to go to the NCRCF now. We ought to get whatever prisoners we can free." Hawkens says. "I'm sure you agree Flare."

"Well I did promise you that we would go and you could kill all the gangers like a good little griffin." Hawkens looks sourly at me. "I also need to go to see if the prisons cameras caught anything on my killer."

"Well that settles it, let's go." Twilight says.

We then start our journey towards the NCRCF. When we get within 100 ft, I give Twilight the command to take out as many Gangers in the security towers as she can. All in all she does pretty good, taking out 6 of 7 tower guards. The last one however, sounds the alarm. Now they are swarming out of the dang place like Meta-bee's out of a Metanest. Twilight manages to take out 3 of the 10 with headshots, another 4 with lighting out of her three horns. I take out rest by simply dashing though them with my wings outstretched, taking their heads clean off. With all of them taken care of, I call Hawkens and Twilight over to the main gate.

"OK, Twilight, I want you to search the facility for the Urgent Care Center for supplies. Hawkens, go do your thing and keep a look out for a building that would look like a Computer hub. I am going to go search for an armory or something of the like, get more supplies for battles that I am sure are going to be coming a lot more often."

"Ya know, I can link our minds so we can communicate even when we are not in the same room." Twilight informs us.

"Do that." I tell her. "It will be very helpful."

With that we storm the place. Hawkens flies over the top of the entrance building while Twilight and I go in. She takes the barrel of her sniper off and it looks like she's levitating it like a club. I pull out Spike's Rage and my magic pistol. When we enter, we notice that the room is filled with at least 10 Gangers. I slip into S.A.T.S. and target one ganger right next to us with Spike's Rage, and another 5 with my magic gun. 3 melted Gangers and a headshot later, all of my targets are down. Twilight, as I could see, used her barrelless sniper as a pistol and popped 4 of the Gangers heads off. She breaks the back of the last one with her barrel/club.

"Nice work." I compliment her.

Now that the room is clear, we head outside. There are only two gangers outside now and I take them out with simultaneous shots from both my pistols.

'COULD USE A LITTLE HELP OVER HERE!' Hawkens think/screams to us.

'What's wrong?' I ask him.

'I'm surrounded in the computer hub. It's the only two story building in this place. I have managed to lock myself in the hub room but they are eventually going to break through. I can already hear them trying to buck the door down. Hold on just a second' He thinks to us as he severs the connection.

BANG!

'Alright, that should stop them from messing with me for a while.'

'Was that your shotguns that I just heard?'

'Eeyup'

'That's what I thought.' I think back to him.

"He's got himself handled over there for a little while. You go find the urgent care center of this place, then, can you teleport?"

"Yes, came with the Taint powers, I just can't teleport that far that often."

"Then when you can, after you find the medical supplies, teleport up to Hawkens up there. I am going to go find that armory."

After about 3 minutes of searching, I find a building that has to be the armory. I can tell because there are three guards with battle saddles. Two of the saddles are mini-guns but what scares me is the Pyre-cannon that the middle guard has. It's strapped to his back because if it were on his side he would just fall over it is so huge. I notice the container of Pyremagic hooked up to the Pyre-cannon.

'If I shoot the Pyremagic, then I can get it to explode, effectively removing the threat that those three hold.' I realize.

I slip into S.A.T.S. with Spike's Rage and take aim.

The flaming bullet leaves my gun with a Bang! and the Pyre-cannon explodes taking the other two guard ponies with it with a huge explosion.
