Rarity slowly opened her eyes, it was dark, chilly, and cold, she felt sore all over, she noticed she had a warm blanket on her. She noticed a small light coming from a little lantern, some moths were surrounding it, she tried standing up, she saw a box with a long cord stretching all the way into her covers, she took the box, and moved it around a little bit.

"You would want to put that down," said a stallion in the corner. She lifted the cover off her to realize the cord went into her heart, she panicked breathing heavily. The stallion was shaving his moustache, she looked at Rarity, he wore a sad smile.

"What did you do to me?"

"What I did, was save your life", the stallion helped her up, picking up the box and placing it in her hooves," You have to take that box wherever you go, you have what's called shrapnel trying to get into your heart, the machine stops it, get rid of the machine, you're a gonner."

"What is this machine?"

"It's powered by electromagnets, it took a while but I had to look hard, there's so much you need to know right now, no matter what—"

{Distant shouting}

"Do as I say, stand up, stand up, get beside me," the stallion ordered, Rarity just obeyed. She had no idea what was going on, all she could remember was the Jerico Missle, and being in Saddle Arabia. She thought she was gonna die. She had to stay alert. The pony in front of her had strange markings on his face, his cutie mark, was a Mask.

{pony speaking in Arabian}, the pony looked at the stallion near Rarity.

"He just said 'Hello Rarity, I have an offer to give to you'"

{pony speaking in Arabian}

"He also says 'He saw your launch of the Jerico missle, and is impressed, he wants you to build one."

Rarity's eyes grew wide, she was gonna tell them the plans of how to build a Jerico Missle, her entire country could be at stake, it was a powerful weapon anypony or thing would want their hooves, claws, or hands on.

"Rare, say yes," the stallion bumped her on the shoulder.

"I…uh…I refuse."

The pony had a disappointed look on his face, he walked closely to Rarity, then quickly grabbed her by her hair, she screamed in defence. The pony dragged her out of the room, guardsponies pointed their guns to the stallion's head. {pony speaking in Arabian}

{one of the guards speaking Arabian}

{the pony replying in Arabian}, he released her and put her face in a water well, holding her head in for 30 seconds, he released her, smacked her good in the cheek, she fell on the ground, struggling and holding onto the box that is making her survive, he picked her up again by her hair, throwing her against the wall. They left, along with the guardsponies, they shut the door. The stallion helped Rarity up.

30 minutes later…

The stallions name was, 'Big Brain', he met Rarity before in a previous convention. He had a family, five kids, and great job. He got captured seven months before Rarity, brutally torturing him, he survived, did everything they said, he always wondering if he was gonna take his last breath when he slept, he made a soup with carrots, peas, and noodles in it, and offered some to Rarity. She was wearing the blanket around her body. Holding the box in one hoof, eventually she set it down beside her.

"You can't play games with these guys their serious."

"There wanting to build a missle, thousands of ponies could die."

"True, Im not judging you," Brain replied finishing up his soup. It was silent in the room.

"I have an idea, it might work, but we have to be cautious."

"What's in your mind Rare?"

"OK, Im going to need those items on my workbench, I need a couple of those, and some of those," Rarity was pointing to random tools on a table, she accepted their challenge to build a Jerico Missle. They allowed her to get tools she needed for the project. She and Big Brain went into a different room, it had a large table, she set the supplies on her table, even giving her the blue prints from the Jerico. Against her better judgement, Rarity and Big Brain worked for several weeks on the missle. They kept working, Rarity doing 95% of the work, lending a hoof every now and then for her, Brain looked closely at the design of the missle itself," That doesn't look like a Jerico Missle."

"No, it's a Micro-Electromagnet," Rarity kept working on it, shrinking it to the size of a small circle. She didn't even need wires connected to her body.

"Extraordinary, this can power your heart to fifty lifetimes."

"Or, something big for fifty seconds."

She placed the small micro-electromagnet near her chest, as she quickly cut out the wires and put the electromagnet inside, it stuck on her glowing a shiny whitish color.

"How do you feel?". The stallion questioned.

"Better, now then let's get to the big guy," Rarity looked at a medium sized metal machine, they were going to make a pony-form of metal equipment. They worked for hours on the Metal. The Terrorists were watching them on a static like screen, that barely shows them.

{shouts in Arabian} 'What is she wearing?'

{another Pony says in Arabian} 'It looks like a mini ball of light'

{says another one in Arabian} 'If Im not mistaken that's an electromagnet, how the hay did they make one so small?'

{the first one} 'Where is the missle?'

{second} 'I don't see it'

{first} 'Get them, now'

"Rarity, somepony is coming."

"I was almost done with this."

The terrorists ran into the room, the elader walked in front of them. He looked at the electromagnet on her chest," You're a clever pony."

"You spoke normal all this time?", Rarity asked.

"Our world is full of surprises Rare, so are you, your not building the missle, are you?"

Rarity showed them the bundle of metal," It's still a work in progress, this missle will be done soon to your wishes."

The pony slowly walked to the machine, then looked at the blueprints," Bring me 'Big Brain'."

The guardsponies took him roughly, he was thrown to the ground harshly, he was being held by a guardpony, the main one of the group took a metal prong and picked up a hot piece of charcoal.

"Open your mouth", the main one told Big Brain, the guardpony beside him forced his mouth open.

"What are you guys doing?"

"He is no use to her."

"Wait, I need him, he's a good assistant", Rarity said stuttering little. She wanted him to be safe.

"You have three days, to build my Jerico Missle," the main one told her. The main pony left the room, the guardsponies followed him, even the one guarding Big Brain left the room. Rarity couldn't stand these guys anymore. She went immediately back to work, working harder than she ever did.

"You have been working for several hours Rare, take a rest."

"Your gonna see your family, Im gonna make sure of it."

A couple days went by…

Rarity and Big Brain designed a metal machine, it would allow one pony to fit in there, it was in the shape of a pony, it was bulletproof, there was four legs, a place for the tail and mane, and equipt with packs of flamethrowers built in, just in case for emergencies, they almost had it ready, it was fully functionable, easy to get in to, Rarity called it 'Iron Pony Mark 1'.

"It looks fantastic, we need to charge the suit."

"Good idea Brain, I'll get inside," Rarity climbed into the suit, she had plugs attached on the chest, the suit needed to charge, one of the items on the table was a laptop computer, it gives the suit energy, it had to fully be complete with it for the suit to work. The terrorists watched the screen, they were impatiently waiting, they noticed she never actually did make the Jerico Missle, instead a pony-sized metal Machine, this upsetted their master," WHAT THE HAY! I GAVE THEM FOREVER TO BUILD THIS MISSLE, AND THEY DID NOT DELIEVER," his hoof slammed on the table with every word, his soliders were waiting for his next command," Slaughter her, and the Brain pony, now." The soliders carried their weapons and went out of their room.

"37%...42%,"Brain read the monitor, rarity was sweating mildly, trying not to get to excited, after all they could die today.

"Do you think our 'stuff' will work if they open the door?" Rarity pointed to the handle on the door, covered with packs of explosives, it would trigger whoever opened it from the other side to explode.

"I think it's overkill, but yes it's gonna work…75%.. almost there..85%..90%...struggling at 91%, COME ON!, he shook the monitor briefly. The soldiers were running fast to their door.

"Were screwed."

"Let's pray that the explosive thingy works Brain."

They rushed to the door, they prepared to kick the door open with their hooves, when they did, it set off the trap, and the soilders bodies evaporated into burnt flesh.

"How is it?", Rarity asked.

"Dang! You were right, quite a show."

The pony looked at the screen once more,"97%, were running out of time, Im gonna buy you some time," he ran towards the previously exploded door and picked up one of their rifles, and ran off.

"STICK TO THE PLAN BIG BRAIN, STICK TO THE PLAN."

Big Brain ran throughout the long passageway there were times when he run into a fork in the road, meaning alternate paths instead of one, he chose the right one most of the time, shooting at any incoming ponies along the way," This is nothing like 'Call of Pony'", he spoke as he finished off more of them. Back where Rarity was, it was struggling at 99%, it was so close, she could hear distant voices coming closer, closer, and closer, she shut her eyes tightly preparing for the worst, then, 100%, the screen turned off, and the entire room's light shut off instantly, the guards made it to the room, they couldn't see a thing, Rarity's electromagnet of course shined pure white, next thing the guards knew, they got beaten by a Metal Pony, they died soon afterwards, Rarity made her way out of the room, punching and using her Iron body to take care of baddies and make them get away from her, she thought about using her flamethrowers but she chose to wait and see what the road ahead led to.

Big Brain ran across a hallway he was greeted by hundreds of Arabian ponies with weapons.

Rarity made her way across when she heard gunshots and distant screaming, it sounded familiar, the master was shooting several times at somepony, she ran to the noise, being careful not to trip. After firing one more bullet at the wounded pony, he made his way to the exit where Rarity was running, he pointed his gun angrily, and shot a dozen rounds at her. It didn't affect her. She was protected by the armor, she ignored the bullets, went up to him, and hit him in the stomach sending him flying towards a wall full of explosives, she looked to her right to see a wounded Big Brain, she looked back at him.

"Go to hell," she fired the flame throwers at him causing an effect on the explosives around him, his body was on fire, he was still standing screaming in pain for around thirty seconds until he fell lifeless. She had her view on Big Brain, she ran up to him and opened her mask to reveal her face," Come on Big Brain, let's get out of here."

"Im gonna die, you'd best be on your way."

"Im not leaving."

"Get out of this hellhole,return to Equestria, be a free mare."

"Im gonna get you out don't say such things," her eyes were watering.

"Rare, don't waste your life, spend your time with ponies you love. My family is dead, Im gonna visit my family," he started dosing off into space, he was gone. Rarity kissed his forehead. And slowly put her mask back on and walked on by. When Rarity was outside, thousands of Arabian Ponies she saw, standing on nearby hill tops, perfectly stationed, they started shooting wildly at Iron Pony, she responded with her flamethrowers, she severely burned alive several ponies, while she kept walking she spot her equipment, her brand 'Rarity Industries', it contained parts of her Jerico Missle, she decided to take that down as well with her firepower, it exploded greatly sending a massive fireball in the air and onto her enemies, she decided to try her equipped Jetpacks out. She slowly started to fly out at a fast rate, she barely could speak even if she wanted to, her hooves at her sides, she was going at a fast rate, her suit started leaning a bit, this is when she knew this was gonna hurt, she couldn't control her landing properly, causing her to land harshly in sand.

Ten minutes later she got out of her suit, sweaty as ever. She was far away from the Arabian pony's camp, she looked way ahead of her, it was nothing but sand, it started to get really hot, she started having illusions in her head, she tried shaking it off by walking. She walked slowly away leaving her armor to be covered in the sand. She kept walking till eventually she fell face down on the ground, a little bit of sand in her mouth, she quickly spat it out, she felt nausea in her, her stomach was weak, she was about to give in letting death take her. After about a half hour later she eventually sat up, then standed up, taking on the intense dessert winds, her eyes were watery, she was thirsty and hungry , all she had was water and soup for a while, she remembered throwing up twice in that cave. "I pray for an iced Tea, and strawberry Shortcake, please."
