We just stared at Feather Bang's corpse for seconds, still not knowing what to do or say next. Seeing Feather finally dead like this doesn't really brings Rarity justice. 

Blood was still coming out of his head as it slowly spreads closer to Rarity's shoes, making her squeal in disgust and jump back to me. 

That traitor might be gone but we can never bring back the ones he killed, including Sweetie belle. But for Rarity, she finally avenged her sister but our job ins't done yet. 

After a few seconds of silence, I finally spoke up and crossed my arms to my chest, looking at Rarity's emotionless expression in her face.

"Now what?" I asked my lover again.

She chuckled and faced back to me. "Now that I finally killed that bastard, shall we get our stuff back?"

"How, Rarity? Y'all know that he sold our guns to the Shadowbolts, they're probably not gonna give it back." I replied, arching an eyebrow at her.

"I-I dunno.. I guess we should just explain it to them and maybe-"

"Bullsh*t. We all know they're gonna shred us with bullets if we freaking step foot in their territory." 

"Applejack darling.." She started while wrapping her arms around me but I just looked away. "Look.. Let's just find a Shadowbolt okay?" 

"W-whatever.. Just get off me." I growled back in a soft voice, making her giggle and step away from me. "And how the f*ck are we gonna find them? Do you realized their base are far away from us.. Not to mention that they're heavily armed with OUR guns!"

Rarity rolled her eyes, looking away from me after. "Can you please stop shouting at me? Its kinda annoying." 

"Your annoying." I chuckled. 

"Oh whatever Applejack. And to answer your question, We can easily find a shadowbolt because I heard Commander Fast Clip has sent his men around Appleloosa to look for supplies! So we can find one right here in our district."

"Then what?" 

"Stop with that annoying attitude of yours! After we go kidnap one, we can gather all the information we need from him!" 

"How do you if its a him? It might be a her."

"S-shut up Applejack!" 

I chuckled before leaning on the wall beside Feather's dead body, placing a wheat stick on my mouth afterwards. "No, you."I added with a teasing grin. 

"UGHH!" She groaned in complete annoyance. 

Speaking of finding a Shadowbolt, we both heard a female voice beside us moments later. When we looked back, we saw a female with a familiar reddish dark jacket, armed weaponry and a scar in her face. 

I sighed and stopped leaning on the wall to approach her. Its actually unexpected to see an elite like her in our district. I guess Fast clip commanded her team to scout this area.

"You two don't have to look far." She said, placing her hand on a wounded part on her stomach. 

"Speaking of Shadowbolts, here's queen Spitfire, ready to kill us both." I joked which her let out a laugh. 

My annoying lover just groaned and slapped my back with slight force. " Will you stop it already?" 

I ignored her, placing my attention back to Spitfire who was lowering her gun at us to place it back to her holster. 

"Why are you two here?" 

"Business." Rarity answered, crossing her arms to her chest to look serious. "You aren't looking so hot, darling." 

"I got shot.. No big deal." Spitfire started, glancing around the place. "Where's Feather Bangs? I supposed you two were finding him?" 

Me and Rarity shared the same look before moving aside, revealing Feather's lifeless corpse behind us.

Spitfire chuckled. "Heh, I needed him alive, Rarity." 

Rarity then walked up to Spitfire and placed her hand on her chin, leaning closer to make the soldier's cheeks turn red. 

There she goes again, same old flirtatious Rarity and its getting me pissed whenever she flirts with other people. Im just sick of it. 

"The guns he gave you.. They weren't his to sell. And I- I mean we want it back." My lover continued as she slowly moved even closer to Spitfire, causing their nose to touch. 

"W-woah there slutty queen, I know you wanna make out with me but your girlfriend is standing right there, watching us."  The Shadowvbolt soldier nervously replied as she slowly looked at me. 

When Rarity followed her gaze, she quickly grin in a sinister way before backing away from her, returning back to my side afterwards.

"We just want our guns back, lets just get this crap over with." I spoke up in a slightly angered tone in my voice. 

"They don't work like that, cowgirl. I paid for those." Spitfire replied while walking a little bit closer to us. "You want them back? Heh, then you gotta earn them."

"Hm.. How many drugs do you want this time?" 

"Its not about the drugs!" Spitfire chuckled as she slowly leaned closer to my girlfriend. "Its different this time.."

Rarity giggled and moved closer to her. "Then what? Want me to have sex with you in this pandemic?" 

I interrupted their little moment with an obvious cough, clearing my throat afterwards withouth saying a word. 

They just ignored me and continued their thing while I just stand behind them, feeling pissed at the both of them.

Sure Rarity does this all the time to the guards to give us free passes but this crap is getting way to far..

Spitfire then cleared her throat. "No, maybe soon though. Us that outlived the others don't accept sex in exchanged anymore." 

"Aww your no fun, Spitfire!" 

"Oh trust me, I know." She lastly said before pulling away from Rarity to walk backwards. "This time, I need something smuggled out of this town. If you do that, I'll give your guns back."

"Smuggle what? Drugs, ration cards?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. 

"Something important." 

I then slowly walked up to her. "Heck, how do we know you got em'? The way I hear the military's been wiping your little gang called Shadowbolts out." 

"Your right about that, Applejack." Spitfire answered before turning around. " Come on, I'll show you two the weapons." 

As soon she started walking back to the other path out of here, we suddenly heard someone yelling at the back which made Spitfire gasp and look around. 

"Search the area!" 

"Oh no they found me.." the Soldier gasp while backing away. "I g-gotta go, what's it gonna be, Rarity?" 

"Hm.. Since Im done with my avenging stuff, Lets go see those guns." Rarity giggled, still looking at her nails. 

"Great, follow me!" Spitfire agreed before running to the other escape route.

Me and my lover just nodded in agreement as we follow her from behind before the military could fully spot us. 

"Find the door!" One soldier yelled. "Crap they locked it, initiate retreat!"

Their voices were getting louder but luckily it slowly faded when we finally entered the abandoned building with a quick short staircase leading to its rooftop, 

-

After we ran up the stairs, Spitfire immediately clocked the door behind us as me and Rarity continued glancing around the place to look for any active snipers. 

But instead of finding a soldier up here, I suddenly found a sniper rifle on the ground with a note attached to it. 

Without Rarity even knowing, I approached the spot and knelt down to pick up the empty gun and its note attached to its magazine. 

When I opened the folded letter, I saw a red colored heart and nothing more. Aside from this weird letter.. I also realized that below this building was the same exact spot where we attacked those 3 men who guarded Feather Bang's gate. 

But now that place is filled with scouting soldiers with their guns ready. But somethin' ain't right.. Did somebody used this sniper from above us this whole time? 

And what's this love note attached to it? Maybe he or she's the one who shot Feather Bang's men earlier. I wonder why would it interfere with our fight?

I was too busy staring at the heart drawing for minutes, not even aware that Rarity was calling my name repeated times. But when we heard something loud at the back, my eyes immediately widened as my thoughts vanished

" B O O M!" 

I then looked back up and saw a huge explosion in the distance, making me and Rarity gasp at the shocking sight. 

Spitfire on the other hand was just staring at it with a serious expression on her face. But what's more shocking is where it exploded. 

"Holy sh*t.. Is that your people?" Spitfire asked, still watching the black smoke rising into the sky. 

"N-NO!" I shouted, forming both my hands into fists. "That's our district.. Pinkie pie is still there!" 

Suddenly, I felt a hand was placed on my shoulder, causing me took look back only to see Rarity with a shock yet devastated look. 

"W-what happened? I hope Pinkie got out safe.." She managed to choke out. 

With my anger raging within me, I quickly turned around and grabbed Spitfire by her shirt, slightly lifting her up with all my left strength afterwards. 

"What the hell did you do Spitfire?! Did your people caused that explosion?!" 

"N-no but.." She answered after delivering a quick punch on my face, making me step back and let go off her. "Chill cowgirl, Those people were just a couple of low lives, they don't matter." 

"Those people were my family! My friends was in that district! So why now? Why the hell did you and your team strike now!?" 

"Applejack calm down!" Rarity pleased as she kept tugging me away but I kept pulling my hand back. 

"Well if you must now. We've been quiet, me and my team were planning on leaving this hell hole of a town. But they needed a scapegoat to give all the blame to. They've been trying to frame us but my team didn't made that explosion, it was another squad." 

"Looks like they were gonna blame that explosion on you, Spitfire." Rarity added before gently pushing the soldier to make her continue leading us. 

"Yes but.. We were just trying to defend ourselves. Ever since I was promoted to second in command they've been forcing us to attack other powerless districts like this one. So that's way I ran away fro a little rest, ya know?" 

"Just lead us to the guns.." I replied with an angered tone. 

-

After another few minutes of walking, we finally made it near to Spitfire's base. But as soon we made it there, Spitfire quickly pulled us to her side for cover, making me and Rarity gasp in shock. 

Spitfire then slowly peeked to the side and mouthed "be quiet." to us without talking to avoid any suspicions.

When I followed her gaze, I saw there was a single armed soldier guarding the front door. But that's not all, beside him was 3 dead bodies with the same uniform as Spitfire. 

"Damn.. they found our location." Spitfire muttered after grabbing her silenced pistol from her holster. 

"He's just one.. Lets just rush him." Rarity recommended.

"G-great Idea hot stuff, lets go-" Before Spitfire could even finish, I interrupted her with a little surprise. 

"B A N G!" 

Rarity and Spitfire quickly turned to me, watching smoke come off my gun, still in my shooting stance. What they didn't know that I already shot the man directly at his head. 

Now that the lone soldier fell to the ground, dead and leaving the place unprotected, I blew the smoke off my gun before placing it back to my holster. 

The two were just speechless yet so shock to see it. But they eventually spoke up when I cleared my throat. 

"What the hell Apples?!" Spitfire yelled at me. 

"Look we wanted to get in so.. I killed the guard, happy now?" 

"Do you realize that your gunshot was heard over a mile away! It could alert the others and maybe even worse, their backups are bound to be coming this way!" 

"It ain't my fault for coming up a slow plan. I guess you two were so busy flirting at each other." I replied, fixing the tip of my height. 

While Rarity was still talking to me, I already started walking towards the 4 dead bodies close to the building's entrance. 

"You two should be happy, I fixed the problem." I chuckled. 

Rarity rolled her eyes and moved closer to Spitfire. "Oh shut up Applejack, your acting like a jerk." 

"And your acting like a complete slut, Babe, Again." I smiled back which made her gasp in shock. 

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUS-" 

Before Rarity could finish her sentence, Spitfire quickly covered her mouth as soon she saw the 3 dead shadowbolts soldiers in front of her. 

"D-damn.. They got Blaze and thunderlane," She started, removing her hand from Rarity. "Rest in piece, friends.." 

"I bet they suffered brutally, lets just go." I lastly said before pushing Spitfire again to make her walk again. 

"Can you even wait, Cowgirl?" 

"I can but Im sick and tired of watching you two flirt at each other so go!" 

Spitfire chuckled after turning back, walking inside the building after. "Aww.. Is Applejack jealous?"

"Shut the f*ck up or yer dead like what we did to Feather ass." 

"Fine, fine no need to be so brutal." 

While Spitfire continued to lead us inside, I can feel Rarity's hand trying to hold mine. I just sighed and held hers, giving her a weak smile as I looked into her diamond like eyes. 

She smiled back too but looking away moments later. Luckily this building is just 2 stories tall so we finally made it to the second floor in quick time. 

Not long after, the speakers began to create a glitch sound as if there was another announcement. 

"Attention all survivors, Curfew is now in full effect. Anyone who is caught outside without any proper authorization will be arrested." 

"Well sh*t, what do we do now?" 

"Relax Darling were in Spitfire's base now, they cant possibly find us in here." 

After a few seconds of silence, there we saw Spitfire trying to open the only door to a room but she struggled on the first push. 

"Hey dumbass, help me will ya?" Spitfire asked, holding her gunshot wound on her stomach. 

"Fine.." I sighed as I walked up to the door. 

With her signal we both pushed the door twice to try and open it. But in the 3rd attempt, it finally opened which sends Spitfire falling to the ground in pain, still holding her wound. 

"S-Spitfire!" I gasped before knelt down and grabbed her by the hand.. When suddenly-

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER!" 

A familiar voice shouted beside me, making me look back at her which made my eyes widened when I realize who is it. 

Her raspy voice, that magenta eyes, her rainbow hair, Im sure this is the same person!

"I-Its you.. Your the stranger who helped me with that mutated!"
