Max raised an eyebrow to Feather "Why? Those vampires were less threatening than the last shoplifter I had to deal with" He wasn't even lying, funnily enough.

"My name is of no concern to you currently. Go to the city and perhaps we'll speak again." The mare said harshly, looking back to her squad.

 

"If the other team was attacked, they could possibly have been hit much harder than us."

Shadow Mane made rose one eyebrow, and swallowed his tounge, he knew saying something harsh back wouldn't be of any help to the problem. He thought: "She is right, speaking is something that can be left for later, now there are more important matters to attend."

Silver approached Crucifix close enough to speak quietly so nopony else could hear them "Ma'am we're back and ready to move out on your order, although i agree that this Shadow, is a threat, we should keep him with us to avoid him getting away with anything. I feel more comfortable knowing that if he does try something i can put him down by myself." he said dryly. At least with us he can't skulk around the city unsupervised. He didn't have any reason not to trust Shadow, but he hadn't given Silver any reason to trust him either.

Silver gave a slight nod "Yes Ma'am." He went back over to everypony else and thought on how best to ensure total surveillance. It'd be a bit tricky but he was sure he could manage.

Feather shook her head at Max's response. "Nah, nothing much. It does mean that we got it easy, though."

 

She turned to Crucifix, then back at Silver. For some reason his answer had unnerved her. Perhaps it was how casual it sounded? She shook her head, glancing down at the feather pendant. It could be dealt with later.

 

Walking up to the stallion, she gave him a poke before speaking. "No need to worry about him. I'll see to it myself."

 

For better or for worse, she sighed.

Max walked along beside them, wondering how the hell a person's tux lasted five years without completely disintegrating. The suit must have fucking stunk, good thing he wasn't all that close.

 

He did wonder, though. This "military" organization seemed kind of, well, shit. No one paid any attention to the chain of command, weapons were all completely different, people ignored orders from direct superiors with no fear, and there seemed to be hardly any semblance of a chain of command, the high ranking soldiers just seemed to be the ones with the stupidest names.

Shadow Mane just looked around, with a smile, there was no need to be a depressed Zombie, and even in a bad time like this as for his tux it did smell bad. But what could he do? He wasn't a pig but it had sentimental value and plus he could get it, fixed even if it was completely ripped beyond repair, it was an old tux that belonged to his grandfather, made of a strong sturdy cloth. Also it was quite cold and the suit helped warm him up.

Silver gave Feather a small smile. "That's kind of you Feather. But what i said back there, well honestly I wouldn't want to kill him, I've never had to kill anything but monsters, and i'd rather not become what i hate the most. I wouldn't allow anypony else to do so either..." Also because i don't think i have the guts to kill another pony, not that Crucifix needs to know that, as long as i'm not presented with the situation then i'll be fine. 

 

His duty was to protect anypony from evil, be that monsters or his own kind, but it was against his nature. Silver enjoyed life, he loved nature and everything in it, years ago he couldn't have ever killed anything, even a monsters. That all changed because of them though, i don't even consider them animals, they're just pure evil, killing for no reason. I'll never forgive them for what they did...

 

Silver looked back at Shadow with a slightly sad expression. He hoped that Shadow wasn't a bad guy, he truly did, right now though he wasn't sure. Maybe he really did just get lucky and find us out here after wandering about, i don't know. All this thinking was making his head hurt "Bugger..." he muttered.

Feather shook her head. "It's fine. Everypony has ponies they find hard to trust."

She glanced towards Shadow, still talking. "I presume you've heard of how Manehatten fell?"

Walking towards Shadow, she sat down facing him. The whole team felt differently about this one, she knew. Sooner or later she would have to pick a side.

"Tell me about your family, Wanderer."

Shadow Mane looked back at her. “My Family? Well they are quite the ponies, my father is the effendi or Great Judge, he is the one in charge of punishments not capital ones those belong to the Sultan. Still having my dad there makes me of Royal blood even if my dad didn’t get that position through natural means, but instead worked for it with trust. My father’s name is Star Spark and my mother her name is Pepper Leaf, I have a sister and an older brother. Now the ones you saw in the picture are my wife and son. My wife’s name is Sarah, but everyone calls her Fig Tart and my son is Brown Almond and finally my grandfather Shining Amethyst, whom this Tux belonged to before me it was his first ever tux he was a miner you see. They are quite the family, I miss the reunions eating well tarts made of the sweetest of fruits, not just that but talking with them and hugging them being with them I wish I could have been every moment, I could with every one of them…..” Shadow Mane stayed silent, he got sad eyes and frowned.

Larz as natural of him followed the group from behind that way he had clear vision of everything around him and the squad. There was also the fact that he was still carrying the body which nopony bothered to tie. He really really hoped that thing wouldn't wake up suddenly. "Plesse... Can we go home already,I'm holding a wolf by its ears and I really don't like it"

Feather smiled, standing back up. "I never had the chance to be in a family. Guess Cloudsdale ponies couldn't handle a filly who couldn't walk on clouds."

She shrugged, flapping her wings. "They're probably dead now, bless their souls."

Walking over to Larz, she took a look at the unconscious pony. "I don't think Crucifix is too keen with going back just yet, sadly. Poor thing will probably roast when the sun comes out."

"Get it covered and tied on the way, if you're hoping to take a war prisoner. I suppose that the recovery of the other-" Crucifix stopped herself when a small mare appeared on the other side of the field, Spitfire. She held her weapon in her hands, and her uniform is torn and ripped in several areas. A few other battered and bruised ponies appear behind them, all with the same, horrified expression on their faces.

 

"Something happened." The mare said, rushing to Spitfire's aid.

Shadow Mane saw the ponies walking in, he had been in many wars and seen many sorrows, but this just struck him hard. It wasn’t their ripped bloody cloth, or how battered up they were, but the expression of fear in their faces, it was as if he could see past their fear, and feel it inside of him. He was paralyzed for a few seconds, after which he shook his head, trying to shake off the thought. He walked towards the mare by the name of Spitfire, and helped her walk her way to Crucifix, but Crucifix had already rushed her way over there.

Feather raised a hoof to finish a comment to Max, but froze before she could speak. She knew the look in their eyes. Knew it all too well. 

 

Take Avaris

 

When Manehatten had fallen, two groups had made it out. Two groups at the cost of everyone else in the city. She had escorted them, or had tried to. She knew the look they now wore. She shook her head, but the feeling didn't go away this time. It was the look she had when she first stumbled into New Equestria, a blood-stained greatsword in her tail.

 

I know you... well enough to know that you're rubbish... without a tail-blade

 

Still trying to shake it off, she managed to walk over to where Silver was standing, unable to escape the memories. She had tried, and was still trying, but-

 

"Both our wings are... in the midst of returning to base, Miss," she managed to say, taking a pace forward. "If there's anything left of Spitfire's squads that aren't here, we won't be able to provide... assistance in time."

 

She turned to look at Silver, before averting her gaze, subconsciously clutching the feather pendant once more. 

 

Your group has more lives... than mine

 

Go, Feather.

 

Go.

 

"Celestia... what have we done?"

Silvers face hardened at the sight of Spitfire and her team, like everypony else here he'd seen his fair share of conflict and injury. Over the years he'd learned to deal with it a little better than most but it still hit him just how banged up they all were. He noticed Feather standing by him now, clutching that pendant again. Maybe i shouldn't have sent DragonFlight back, they could've helped... No, they were all injured too, pushing them more would've only made it worse. 

 

He put his hoof on Feathers shoulder to reassure her but part of him also just wanted something to hold onto, it was starting to sink in how much they'd lost in just a few hours. Is this all that's left? This was supposed to be an exercise. Not an actual battle, we weren't prepared for this... He could only stare with an angry expression, the monsters were doing it again, causing more pain and taking more lives. 

 

 

As the remainder of Spitfires group gathered, they all began to slump down and rest. They were all injured in some form, but the less wounded ponies were treating the more serious cases. He wasn't a doctor, he knew some basic First aid but nothing that would help in this scenario, all he could do was stand there and watch.

Shadow Mane noticed something that very moment, he had sworn loyalty to protect his empire and had sworn to get revenge, on the beasts that killed his guards the day of the outbreak but now, this was more than just a personal matter. This had gone too far, he didn’t just want a set of monsters dead, he wanted them all wiped out, he had once only served his empire but now…. Now he serves all of pony kind he swore to himself to do whatever was in his power to free the world of this taint, to take back what was once of his kind. He had just waged a war against every monster. All it took was to look at those faces and he knew what his new legacy was. Shadow Mane swallowed dryly. “We… won’t let them destroy us…. We won’t let them degrade us….. We shall be victories.” Shadow Mane huffed those words out, silently without him even noticing. Shadow Mane turned his head to the unconscious vampire the griffon was pulling he glared at the vampire in disgust, and kept his distance, he couldn’t trust himself near that thing anymore. 

 

(he usually isn't this viciouse, he just got real angry.)

Larz wasn't much interested in the scene itself but instead he was observing the reaction from his squad. Under this kind of event he could see who he could trust to keep it cool during a mission and who would lose it. The newcomer was proof of that. "Better check them for bite marks before we go back"

Shadow Mane breathe deeply, he had to calm down. Shadow Mane wasn’t one to lose it in times like these anyway, it was just that all his feelings and things he has been through the last 5 years that he had been bottling up, just exploded in this very moment. He couldn’t let his feelings get the best of him. Wasn’t that how one of the princess of Equestria lost it? By letting her feelings get the best of her? Either way if it was or not, he couldn’t not let his feelings take over, no matter how good his intentions where. Shadow Mane sat down and started to calm down.

Feather twitched a little at Silver's hoof on her shoulder, but once again said nothing. His presence, if anything, served as a reminder. This was no time to let her past catch up to her. Those that had died that day were dead. This, they could still fix.

 

She turned, scanning the team. The gryphon from earlier was still hanging further back, but he was not looking at the survivors. She smiled, a grim smile. She could tell what he was playing at. It would suffice.

 

Glancing back  at Silver, she nodded slightly, thankful. She was back on track now,

 

"Hey, gryphon!" Feather shouted, getting his attention. She drew the dagger out from the pouch she wore on her forehoof, trying it to her right wing. It was shabby, but it was better than nothing.

 

"Instead of moping around here, what say we go over to where they were attacked an' check for survivors?"

 

She paused, waving her wing. This was even worse than her wooden blades had been.

 

"Oh, and do you have another dagger I can spare?"

"We must've got the blunt of the attack..." Spitfire said, unblinking.

 

"There must've been fourty vampires, five werewolves. We got the werewolves, but the vampires that we didn't get broke off before we had a chance to finish them..." The orange-maned mare collapsed, curling into herself and shivering.

 

"We're the only ones left."

 

Crucifix helped her back up with a bit of effort, gesturing for the other survivors to follow.

 

"At least we were able to fight back this time." She said, moving back to the city.

 

"We need to tell Luna what happened. This was one attack."

Larz looked at Feather nodded and grabbed a dagger from his pouch. He examined the dagger carefully and threw it sinking on the ground close to feather's hoof. "I don't mope." Larz turned to Crucifix. "Should I go examine them for any bite marks, or anything of the sort?"

Feather shrugged. "Suit yourself. Looks like we're returning, anyways."

 

She yanked the dagger out with her tail, catching it in her mouth before stowing it away with the one she already had. She would have them reforged as a wing-mountable pair later.

 

Walking over to the remains of Spitfire's team, she gave them a once-over. "Five werewolves, eh." It was to be expected, she thought darkly. Manehatten had gotten it much worse, and that was with the city's magical turrets firing till the very last moment.

 

In fact, they had been lucky as it was. Noting a stallion off to the side with a pained expression on his face, Feather walked up to him before handing over the painkillers Silver had given her earlier. "Are any of the Garrison still here with you folks?"

 

She didn't need an answer to know. The patrol group were no newly-trained recruits, some having served before in wars, and others in battles over their respective homes like she had. This to them would normally no more than a round of bets on who would get first kill.

 

Still, there were a few missing.

 

Mentally crossing a few of her former patrol-mates off the list, she turned back to face Crucifix. "I don't think they're in any shape to be moving at all, to be honest.  If we return, we can make it back faster, and have a team sent from the city to assist."

Silver was relieved to hear that they might be heading back. "Right now i'd settle for a shower and a hot meal, maybe some herbal tea while i'm at it. I saw some wild ginger and Chamomile just outside the city the other day and brought some back, I might make use of that tonight." he said optimistically.

 

When he was younger his mother taught him a lot about tea leaves and how you could make a good brew from some of the most basic plants. Honestly that might've been where his love of nature started, from there it just grew from tea to everything, plants and animals alike.

 

He hadn't really thought of home for a while, honestly he found it hard to picture his family's house back in Ponyville. He could distinctly remember his sisters cooking, since dad was always off on deployment as a Royal guard Captain he was never home and his mother passed away when he was 8 years old. That just left him and his sister Deja living by themselves, he never had a problem with it but he wished dad came home more often. Now he's off again putting himself at risk for others. That's dad for you... Deja always used to tell me not to complain.

 

Returning his attention to the now however reminded him of an important fact. "We'll have to send out another team later to recover our dead, i'd hate to leave them out here. I wouldn't mind going with them..."

Max glanced over to Silver "That's probably not a good idea. The vampires will probably trap the areas with the dead. Besides that, we'd be stumbling through a forest with no direction. Perfect for an ambush on the vampires part"

 

He did have respect for the dead. It's just that his pragmatism and respect for the living overrode it.

Shadow Mane stood up, he walked to Silver and Max. “I must agree with the pony here, I think those ponies where great, and deserve a great burial full of flowers and the most amazing of words but…. We could get ambushed, plus I don’t think you will like those woods at least I know I don’t, I miss the desert. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day to go, for now its best we all rest.” Shadow Mane said awaiting a response, that probably was going to be hurtful, but at least he expressed his opinion in the matter.

Feather shrugged again. "We do know this forest. Every war game till now has been held here." She paused, thinking. "Probably not after this, though. Either way, I'd think we would have the advantage geography-wise."

 

She turned to Silver, then at Shadow. "I do agree we should wait a little until we know it's safe, but not to the extent of waiting a whole day to fetch the dead. I know many a family who will not be sleeping soundly tonight if we do."

 

She sighed. "Then we have the equally likely possibility that there could still be survivors who were too wounded to walk, and that we're going to leave them to die on a hunch."

 

"Either way, it's Crucifix's call, but I'll be folllowing the other party out when the time comes, too. I have... bets to settle and tags to retrieve of my previous squadmates."
 

Walking towards Raven, Feather gave the mare a poke. "You're trained as a smith, right? Can you forge pegasi wingblades?"

Raven wasnt at all surpised by the other squad, and started to drif away with old memories, before being brought back by a poke, and a question.

"Wingblades? I've never heard of those.. I could try and make them, but it might take me a few days.." She nodded, "Itll be a fun challenge"

Feather smiled. "Well, I guess we'll have to wait till we get back, then."

 

She flicked her tail, turning to Crucifix. "So, are we going to leave them here and return, or do we return with them?"

"We return with them." Crucifix spoke.

 

"We will return with reinforcements to find any stragglers, bury the dead and gather their weapons." She speaks, looking to the battlefield darkened by blackness, as if charcoal dust had been tossed onto the grass.

 

"You all have my heartfelt apologies. I didn't intend for you to see war before you were ready." She said, using her scythe as a walking stick and trotting back to where their team started.

"Not the first time Ma'am, and undoubtedly the last..." The world we live in today i don't expect to stop fighting till i'm dead. Silver actually thought some more on this, although he'd seen battle with the Guards, most ponies were civilians before all this happened and probably hadn't seen combat until they were forced into it. Might as well make some conversation for the way back, rather than thinking too much about the dead...

 

"I'm sure that goes for the rest of us here... We've all got our reasons to fight other than just survival right?" he asked openly.

Max shook his head "Nope. My wife's probably dead and the only reason I'm here is to help the families here. The fact I got drafted into the goddamn military and am probably gonna die trying to help doesn't make me feel any better."

 

He was pretty annoyed about the whole "drafting" thing. Forcing random ponies to go out on a suicide mission? It was brain dead. They didn't have a fraction of the resources necessary to help cleanse Equestria. It was all pointless.

Silver felt a pang of guilt. Maybe this is a too touchy subject. "Well you don't know she's dead do you? There's still hope, and that's better than nothing. Plus you're not gonna die Max, i'd be considered a terrible teacher if i let my only student die..." he smirked.

Max scoffed "Yeah, maybe she ain't dead. But I'm probably not gonna see her again. At least, not until we're both dead." He smirked himself "Maybe I'll have to not let you die, though, considering you're the one who got stabbed and I'm the one who killed the most"

"I'm sorry? Didn't you hear that i pretty much single-hoofedly saved DragonFlight from certain death by taking down five vampires? Plus the two i killed in the woods puts me on seven. And this little thing..." he tapped his chest plate. "This is nothing, you should see the rest of my scars..."

Feather laughed, a hollow laugh that surprised even herself. "Better for them to see war now than to go out and make costly mistakes later. It's a lot more than what most of Manehatten got when the first seige waves hit."

She turned to look at Silver, but maintained her forward trot. "I only wish they had the luck we had here today."

Staying quiet as they exchanged feats, she tagged along, remembering.

"So, Smith," she said, addressing Raven, "What's your long and melancholy tale?"

Shadow Mane stood up, and got in-between Silver and Max. “Gentlemen, gentlemen, I think we can all agree it’s not about how many vampires or beasts you dropped, it’s all about you having the guts to go out here, all just to keep families and others safe. Now quit arguing like two little sissies, the fumes of the battle field must be going to your head’s, because you remind me of my sister and my mother when they use to argue.” Shadow Mane said, after which he bursted out in laughter. Shadow Mane started to cough for laughing too much, he was right, there were some fumes in the battle field.

But that's all done and dusted, hopefully DragonFlights back at the city now. I'm all sweaty and home is sounding a lot more appealing the closer we get." he looked at Shadow

Feather smiled. "He has a point, you know. We had it easy."

Stopping to prod at a black patch on the ground, she continued. "Most of the Garrison got redrafted this round as a refresher."

"If anything, the veterans among Spitfire's lot have more kills to their name than you have had years to your lives."

She smirked. "There'll be a lot of lost bets this round, that's for sure."

Max sort of quickly darted his eyes towards Shadow like he was fucking crazy, but for less than a second, and it was unnoticable.

 

"It didn't occur to you to get someone with a gun to shoot them?" Max questioned out loud "Plus, I paid attention to what you said. When someone's got a long weapon, you get in close and you gut em. A battle axe is slow. Slow as molasses. It's also built like a heavy polearm, I don't care how fast they can swing"

 

Max shrugged at the veteran remark "Eh. Works for me, let them go and kill the vampires, since lots of our men dropped dead when they should've survived thanks to superior training and the same level of weaponry" He sighed.

 

((Where are they right now?))

"Hard to be positive in these times, Wanderer," Feather replied. "All we can do is pick up the pieces and move on."

She tapped her feather pendant. "Some of us might not be here tomorrow, so it's best we live to the most today."

Frowning at her own comment, she paused for an instant. "That said, remind me to gut the bean farmer for giving me wooden swords someday. This was not fun at all."

"Well this guy could really swing Max, in the end he was the last target i got because i picked off the rest of them first. But that would've been a good idea if they hadn't taken out the only pony in DragonFlight with a gun..." he grimaced

 

Turning to Feather "Hey if we get to count before today then i'd be willing to bet i'm on a pretty high num-" he stopped mid-sentence as a painful memory hit him. The fucking Everfree encounter. Of all the battles Silver was in that was the worst one possible, the time where he'd really been in deep shit. And then he'd returned to base to get hit by even worse news. 

 

He cleared his throat. "Yeah, so, as i was saying... Probably more than most..." he didn't smile, instead it was a saddened expression. "But you've got a point there Feather..."

Shadow Mane stopped his humming, and walking. “I am aware, and I know many will say being the forest for so long went to my head, and that I don’t have all my strings. But even if that is true, the very reason we don’t know if we will be here tomorrow to smile or to eat another bowl of rice justifies the need to stay positive, being in the forest made me notice that, and not just that but, it was also what kept me alive all that time.

Shadow Mane stopped his humming once again, but this time he kept walking. “You were a film maker? Ah that’s nice, my grandfather always wanted to be a filmmaker but he never achieved his dream, my great grandfather insisted in the mines, and that films would lead him nowhere. Well, at least thanks to that he became rich, and found an amethyst mine made millions with it, but he didn’t gain them the way he wish he did. Shadow Mane said, in a slightly saddened voice, and kept walking.

Feather walked over to Silver's side, but made no other move. "Least you managed to do something. It's more than most do in a lifetime."

She glanced over her shoulder, back to the forest, but her focus was not on the trees. Ever since she had come here, she had never lost track of it's direction.

Beyond that treeline, beyond the hills was the once great city of Manehatten.

She sighed. "Me included."

Turning to Max, she smiled. "I don't remember much of my childhood, sadly. Enough to know that I'm from Cloudsdale, but beyond that it's all orphanage."

She chuckled. "Maybe l'll try working in films after this is over."

I best keep my things away from you or you may smuggle them away. Shadow Mane said, and chuckled even more, he kept walking and came to a stop when he saw body, he just looked at in surprise from the sudden apparition and his smile started to fade as he stood there looking at it, not knowing what to do.

Silver shook his head a little "I never really went to the movies as a kid, i was always outside playing or looking at wildlife. Around where we used to live you could find so many interesting plants and animals... After that i think the only films i really saw were a few war films and nature documentaries, doubt anything you were in Max, although i'm sure you'd be great in a romance..." He felt a little better now, just pushing that memory to the back of his mind for a moment to deal with later on.

Shadow Mane stopped looking at the body and walked around it, he couldn’t make up his mind to pick it up to bury or walk around it, but his brain had already decided before his thoughts, he was sorry to be disrespectful but he had no idea what he should do. Shadow Mane swallowed. “I was never an outsider, my sister was on the other hand, and my brother well he was a prankster he was well known for his pranks throughout the town. I was always a bit more calm, a bit whimsical always looking my best but with a smile and a joke to tell at any time. Those where certainly the days….” Shadow Mane said, in a nostalgic voice.

Silver's comment made her giggle. "Oh, what I'd give to see this guy in a romance. Mares would just die of shock right there and then."

Turning away, she shot a glance at Shadow, noticing he had paused mid-stride. "You ok, Wanderer?"

I watched it when I was 10 my uncle had told me it wasn’t appropriate for my age but I watched it anyway, when he left I put it on and watched it! Funny enough I was caught near the end when my uncle returned early from work." Shadow Mane laughed a bit, and resumed to speak. "And I am fine my lady just a bit surprised, from the little encounter." Shadow Mane said with a smile looking at feather.

Feather nodded to Shadow, walking over to the radio. "Alright." She smiled. "And Feather will do, I'm not one of your stuck up Royals."

She poked at the device, curious. "Where did you get this from? I didn't expect we still had a functional radio network after most of the communication towers went down in the war."

Max shrugged in regards to Feather's question "I think I found it on the way here, back after the monsters started showing up. I heard music on my radio, and decided maybe I could contact the frequency, so I stopped off at the nearest broadcasting station" He started turning the dial the other way, as Crucifix suggested "There was no one there, of course, but I did find this bulky piece of shit. I think there's a radio tower hanging off the side at the crystal spire in the center of New Equestria. They broadcast daily announcements with it. We could probably use it to contact them..."

 

After a few seconds, he started hearing the voice that Crucifix had heard. Strangely enough, it seemed to be playing hymns, sung by a choir.

Spoiler

 

Max glanced at the radio with a raised eyebrow and then said "I'm not the only one hearing this, right?" How was this even possible? Was there some other location where there was safe?

The choir stopped singing after a while, and another voice, one distinctly sounding like an adult and not one of the child choir singers, replaced it.

 

"This is Salvation Radio calling out to Equestria. Don't lose hope, friends. God will come to our side when we need Him most"

 

Max's mouth was agape as the voice continued, disproving his suspicions the broadcast was older than the cataclasm.

 

The voice continued "Please contact us if you have the means, we would love to help anyone in need of it"

 

Almost immediately after contacting was mentioned, Max remembered that the radio was two-way. He pressed the button to send out radio waves, but naturally, as the radio didn't have much of a tower to send signals out, it wouldn't work.

 

"Hello, Salvation Radio, this is a message from New Equestria, please respond ASAP" he tried in vain.

 

He scowled, then remembered "Soon as we show this to the princess, we need to go to the radio tower and send the message. We need to know what the hell's going on"

Feather frowned, listening to Max's response. "It's been five years since the apocalypse started. It's too suspicious to send a message back, especially this late into things."

 

She glanced down at her pendant. "Manehatten's four towers lasted two years into the war before we lost their power station. Whoever's out there would need to be insanely lucky, or wanting to finish what they started here."

 

She growled. "If it's the latter, we might be dooming this city."

He seemed to want to find out above all. What was the point in waiting inside New Equestria till they died? There was none.

Feather shook her head. "Still doesn't change the fact that it's been five years. From what little I know about radio towers, they can't even stand straight for a month without needing re-calibration."

 

She flicked her tail, thinking. "Then again, we could probably narrow down it's location quite a lot. There's bound to be a record of every transmission tower in Equestria somewhere in this city." She frowned, her tail settling back down. "Same applies to them as to locating us."

 

She sighed. "It's Crucifix's call, once again. As usual." She glanced at her hind legs. "I've probably paid the price for disobeying higher commands time enough in Manehatten."

 

She didn't bother to note that her actions had saved hundreds when careless orders had left them to die. Didn't need to. Going out there after this battle would be suicide, either way.

 

"For someone previously mighty intent on steering away from picking up the dead on terrain we're awfully acquainted with, you sure are insistent on walking us into the unknown this time," she questioned a while later, changing the topic. "Any particular reason?"

Feather shook her head, indignant. "The dead are dead because we sent them to die. You know just as well as I that there could've been ponies back there who could have been immobile or overlooked, who now are dead because we took a wager that a few more deaths was worth not mentioning."

 

She flicked her tail, looking away. "If we're going on this venture alone, then fine. I can handle my own death. But if Celestia or Luna decide to send an entire party to die with us from what's left of our recruits due to your deliberate oversight..."

 

"Then I will personally see to it that your death will be by my hooves."

"Sorry to tell you this, but I'm the same rank as you. Any decisions? They're not my fault. I can suggest things, but I can't change anything. And neither can anyone else"

 

He continued at his pace "Besides. I suggested we left the dead to stay so more wouldn't die. I never wanted anyone still alive to stay"

"I've got a load of old maps which mark where the scouting team's already been, that'll narrow down areas to search. But if we're actually considering going to find this tower, i still want to return to base. At least to relax and rearm. Another team can be sent to fetch the dead while we're gone."

 

Although he approved of going to find out where this signal came from, he was a bit hesitant about jumping straight into it. "I say if we're going to go we should leave it a night, that'll also give Celestia and Luna time to consider it and then work out a plan. I'll just make sure to get my survival gear if we're going out for a long period of time."

"I'm not saying we should go immediately. We don't even know where they are. That's why I said we should contact them first"

 

He sighed dropping his cigarette to the floor, and then decided to give Feather a proper explanation.

 

"You know what Feather? I don't want to go there simply because there might be survivors that we can help. I want to go because maybe, just maybe, my wife'll be there. And maybe she won't be dead. And maybe everyone can stop being a cynic, because the idea of vampires understanding how to properly use a radio is kind of ridiculous. Also yes, just us"

Shadow Mane looked at them all. "I have never been a fan of death parades, specially losing lives just because you have the power to dictate what happens. But who am I to say what to do, I have no power here, either way it’s the leader's choice.” Shadow Mane said in slightly bothered voice, he thought losing more people would just be a Stupid decision.

"If we've got time i'll come back too, preferably before sunset but after i've sorted out all my gear. Knowing Celestia she'll approve of a search mission so i'll prepare tonight for a long mission." Let's see i'd need the poncho, survival gear, more gold, rations and a few other bits. Should be done in about an hour, then it's dinner and i'll come back out later. 

 

"Alright, this gives us a bit of hope for the future. I think Max is right, let's look at this for what it is, a sign that things are looking up. But Max, you know she might not be there..."

Max nodded, sounding like he already knew "Yeah... but hey, if she's not here, she's either gonna be there, or gone. Either one gives me a little peace"

((Guess we'll be timeskipping to departure when Sci rolls back around))

 

"Sometimes ponies need hope," Feather stated matter-of-factly, not bothering to look back. "Only question is whether accepting it and moving on is more painful, or living with it is."

 

She glanced down at her feather pendant once again, poking at the red feather with a hoof. The city was coming up ahead now, marking the end of their hike home. Near the gates, guards scurried about, evidence that they were already informed of what to expect.

 

Eying the medical staff on standby, Feather finally dropped to a more relaxed stance. "For his sake, I hope he finds what he's looking for." She let the pendant hang loose, speeding up her gait, shaking away the thoughts that it usually brought around. "Not all of us are that lucky."

Max simply said "Thanks" in reply to Feather's confiding in his hopes.

 

He entered the city, not needing medical attention.

"Right, unless we need a briefing i'm going home for a shower and that tea i mentioned. If anypony needs anything you know where to find me." He thought of the Inn that he now called home, the whole place was pretty much occupied with ponies from the Scouting group and was also where his dad lived. It was a nice place considering what some ponies were still living in. The only problem is it'll be pretty much deserted now as they'd all gone off on a mission.

 

Oh that reminds me, i should probably check in with the Doctor before we head out just to make sure this scar doesn't get infected. He made a mental note to visit the base later on.

Feather had walked straight past the tents and medical ponies, making a beeline towards the armoury. Giving the weapon-master a nod, she went past the racks and racks of stored weapons. Even in a largely crystal weapon-based army, the amount of traditional weapon still present were staggering. Perhaps it was for training, she mused. Or as a testament to how pointless they were against the horrors outside the walls.

She stopped, taking out a wrapped bundle.

"Well, at least the bean farmer didn't have them melted down or something."

Carefully unwrapping it, she picked up the twin silver blades in her mouth, carefully keeping the sharp edges away. They were redundant weapons, as silver was pointless against the monsters, but she had always made them work, one way or another.

She smiled, walking out of the armory and heading towards Silver. At least they were much more preferable to wooden swords. Poking the stallion with a hoof, she tilted her head slightly.

"Mind helping me put these on?"

It was quite ironic, in a way. They were silver blades. "I'd do it myself in any other circumstance, but-" Here she cracked a smile as best she could while still holding on to the blades, "-I'd prefer not to have my tail cropped in the process."

Max sort of lingered about in the general area. He felt he may as well stick around for anything he needed to know.

"Hm? Oh sure." He took the blades and went to put them on Feather but went a little red. "Ok, i'll just... Put them on here then" he fitted them onto Feather as precisely as he could without staring at her too much. "Do you want them as tight as they can go or a little slack?"

Feather looked away, extending her wings as far as they would go. "Just go along the width of it till it matches up with my primary feathers. There should be markings as to how tight they should be fastened."

 

She shot a glance at Silver, before looking away again as he tried to align the blade. "Well, this is getting awkward."

 

Fixing her eyes on Max, she shot him a grin. "Considering I sleep with these on, it's not too wise of an idea."

Silver went a very bright red. "I-uh-so like this?" he fastened them as Feather instructed and then took a step back at her last comment. "I wouldn't try anything like that without your permission first... Not that i'm saying i want to! It's just I-" he went even more red. "Never mind..." he looked a Max and mouthed the words 'You asshole'.

((Aight, going to bed. It's been a fun round, lol))

"Yeah, pretty much. Thanks." She smiled, closing both her wings with a metallic ring as the blades briefly slid over each other before settling by her side. The next comment made her giggle. "Wow. I'm... actually not sure how to respond to that one, but I guess... you're welcome?"

She paused, coughing awkwardly. "No wait, that just makes it worse."

She shook her head, still smiling. "Either way, I'll see you ponies tomorrow," she said, waving her now silver-bladed wing as she departed. "Try not to slaughter each other in the process."

As Feather left, Max looked back at Silver and smirked, bringing his eyebrows up and down.

 

"I'd say that made an interesting first date"

Silver was still a little red in the cheeks. "Shut up... You're such an ass..." I really hope that hasn't made things awkward, i was just starting to get used to her too...

Max walked over and put his arm over Silver's shoulder "Ah, don't worry, Silver. You'll be Casanova after I'd done teaching you how" He laughed.

 

He thought for a moment "Wanna see if we can find that signal again?"

Max sat down and twiddled with his two way radio for a few seconds. Finding it was a little easier this time.

 

The radio started playing again. A different voice from before, a female, was talking.

 

"Good day to everyone in San Neighgo this fine day. And good day to anyone outside our walls that might be listening. Here's our choir with Amazing Grace. Never lose hope"

 

Spoiler

 

Max turned it down a little partway through the song.

 

"San Neighgo? That's... shit, where is that again?"
