Red's wing twitched for a second as Trench mentioned it's state. Seeing him sad made Red confused and a bit angry at the same time.

"Hey, what are you talking about? If I hadn't bumped into you, I would've been probably executed."He frowns at the guard. "Seriously, you were a godsend at that point. And I understand you feel bad for me getting hurt, but I'll take a damaged wing and a headwound anytime over death."A smile grew on his face. "By the way, I believe I never got your name!" He realized.

 Trench lift his head and gave a small smile."You can call me Trench club. And I'm glad your not angry with me. I'm also sorry that I gave away your bag of bits. Even though you stole them." He chuckles.  "But I can understand why you did it. With the way things are now you need some way to get bits, and there isn't a lot of jobs out there. I see it a lot back in my homeland. But I still have the other bag if you want it." He takes out the bag and puts it on Reds lap.

[RedStorm 66]

"I'm Redstorm. Nice to meet you."

His heart jumped as Trench places the money on his lap and he was about to reach out and take it, but changed his mind.

"Nah, you take it. For saving my life. Either way,i f I take it, I will get guards after me. If I don't take it, I will still get guards after me. Here, just take it, do whatever you want with it, but I don't want to see this ever again.

I'm not a thief. I was really forced to do this. The city and the ponies aren't the only thing that's corrupted, the ROYAL guards are as well. I was about to buy myself some food from the marketplace, but before I could step inside, a gate guard stopped me. Said that I was infected and he could turn a "blind eye" if i brought him fifty bits and the deadline was in two days..."

After reminding himself of all that, he looked down on his hooves.

"Two days, huh..."

[Dovashy 1,734]

Stellar woke, again. This time her vision was a lot better, and she felt once more in control of her body. She could hear Trench and Redstorm talking in the background, and she felt the urge to get out of the bed and walk around. She lifted herself up, and slid carefully down off the bed, sick of falling over for the day. She noticed that it had become dark, and felt a sense of foreboding at the darkness, she had no idea where she was, except that it wasn't part of City Guarded territory. The ominous thought nagged at her from the back of her mind. After hitting the tiled floor with a soft patter, she made her way to the two talking ponies. She knew recognised them both, the one who'd held the dagger up to her throat, and the other was the thief at the marketplace, she was no less determined to see them both behind bars facing the necessary punishments, but without any other allies she knew that she wouldn't be able to overpower them both. Especially while she was still recovering from her concussion, she didn't think she'd be able to concentrate on a casting spell for it to even work. She decided she'd have to find some other way to get them to answer to their crimes. She saw the bag of coins sitting on the Redstorms lap, but thought better than to mention it again, she had a number of questions she wantred to ask, mainly for the other pony, Trench. The one who'd spared her when he had the chance to slit her throat. She'd been sure he would've done it, so why hadn't he? 

"Hello," Said Stellar cautiously, just communicating with these outlaws felt like a jab to her honour aswell as high treason to her. "Where am I?"

[MisterRe 21]

Mr. Re woke up again. The night was silent but his heart was not, it beat against his chest as if it was about break through. He dreamed of what would've been like to be infected. Blind, starving, dying. No it wouldn't, shouldn't happen to him. He has taken special precautions. Plastic wrap covered almost every inch of his lower body. He had no proper breathing mask only a ragged blanket cloth but it was enough. No symptoms yet for him, even with his burden.

 

"Honey... you still with me?" He dared not to touch to her

"Ye-...ssss." She gurgled.

"Tell me when ropes is tight enough okay?"

"Ssss-...sure."

 

He was her Mister Re and she, his Miss Re. Without her, it would only be mystery; Without him, only misery. They stuck together since the infection started and even after she got it. Mr. Re had kept her alive by feeding her morphine soup with nutrients inside. The supply was getting low so they are the underside of canter lot to climb there and get supplies.

Time, how much is left? Mr. Re pondered this question as he ascended the rope. Complete darkness surrounded him and his wife, leaving himself to think. The background was false silence because her suffering was vocal, and his ears grew deaf of it. Horrible it is that one must be accustomed to the sound of suffering. Now it doesn't matter. Time dilutes everything.

 

"You okay down there?"

"Almo...st there?" her voice was crackling and weak.

"Yes."

"Ok."

 

Shattered windows, unstable balconies, corroded barracades, he could see the part of the ruined city filled with no one. This could a good place to settle down... until the morphine runs out. Mr. Re came to a level plane with a building window and began to swing back and forth. In doing this, the body beneath him began to grumble and gurgle louder. 

 

"I'm sorry." He reassured her and stopped for a moment. "This will only take a second"

 

His hooves clapped against the cracked wall next to the window and used the back swing to jump through. The inside lacked unfaded features. The furnishing was either stripped of color, ripped, dusty or all of the above.THis is the best place for now. He now pulled the rope for his sickened love.

 

"Mind the balcony."

Sunset Sands was a foreigner unicorn pony, being born and raised in the deserts of Saddle Arabia by his adventurer parents who came from Canterlot. When he aged up he decided to go visit the lands where his family came from. But against all odds the day he arrived was the day he was stuck in a plague infected Canterlot. He sent letters to his parents, he heard his father cought the plague, and was put down by the guard. His mother trying to arrange Sands to be smuggled. 

 

He wanted revange on the guard for what happened to his father, and he achieved it when he joined a secret royalist faction known as the Lunar Syndicate. He gave in to their talk of overthrowing the goverment, and either destroying of controlling the senate, and giving the Princesses extreme powers. Sands liked the idea, and was willing to sacrifice himself for it. The sooner this all ended, the sooner he could get back to his needed mother, who somehow managed to survive in the underworld. 

__________________________________________________________________

 

Snapping out of remembering why he came here, the stallion reached out for his pack in the armory. Putting on a nice fit gasmask and cloak he prepared for a mission. It was time that the Lunar Syndicate rose and dealt its first strikes.

 

Grabbing his blade last he sheathed it and carried on to the conference room. He was not in command of anything, he was just the pawn, but one of the more important ones. He managed to persuade the leaders to allow him to deal the first threatening blow, and he was not going to miss that chance. 

[MisterRe 21]

Morphine, alcohol, painkillers, opiates and even cough drops, Mr. Re had it all for Misery's pain, he switched among the drugs every time her tolerance went up on one. The time period of each drug was a week or so. However though, that wouldn't work if nothing was left. The colt had a month of supply left, but its never too late to be safe. Canterlot, there was stories of gangs and royal guard in the city, such civil unrest was susceptible to chaos, his chaos...

 

"Not again, never again."

 

The colt thought of his last resort, spreading the plague to cover his tracks. Bile and saliva from his truly were his only weapons. Biological warfare instead of violence. Re was pacifistic, this was the only way to bypass it. Empty bottles were at an abundance in the trash and his lovely continued to puke from time to time. Fate that the infection brought was worse than death, he knew from experience.

Sunset Sands was walking threw a mansion hall, in the place that the Syndicate called "The Hive".

As he arrived at the gardens a big group of ponies was gathered there already, next to a marble fountain on which stood the grand commander. Everyone stood in perfect exact ranks, wearing their dark uniforms. 

 

Sands joined the rank somewhere in the middle.  

 

The Lord Commander begun to speak. 

"My brothers and sisters! The day has come! It is time that the Lunar Syndicate gets into business! We have prepared, while the other groups were too busy fighting each other just to own a street!  We have prepared, to overthrow the rulers, and set a new ruler to this nation, that will help us all go threw this time of need! "He paused. "How do we do it? The answer is simple, first we strike fear into the hearts of the Guard, so that they know that they are NOT safe. Then we take out everyone who gets in our way. Until we find out what happened to the Princesses, and destroy the parlament!" He once again paused and the crowd begun cheering. 

 

"Our first strike will be the Town Square, we will eliminate everything. The guards and the people living there."

 

Sunset Sands felt a grin creep up his face as he liked the idea of a slaughterhouse in the Town Square.  

 

"But before we do that you will all be assigned one more smaller mission.. You may all leave, report to the Captain. "

@, 

 

Mister Re crept and leapt from building to building, looking for anything that might resemble a hospital. The search, however, was nigh unsuccessful for the hour and it was getting tiresome to travel with swift silence. He traverse on roofs, through windows, tops of towers in vain of sighting a crimson cross.

 

The moonlight calmed him, its energy moved him forward. The moon likened to the fog back home, his original home. The city of fog and hills, it was but the plague fell upon the fair city and its citizens rolled down its hills like an avalanche. One would trip, then all.

 

"No thinking about the past. I must look for the future."

 

There was a loud cheer coming from the ground and the source was a group of ponies with hoods and tattoos. Their faces were angled away and to their leader. Mister Re stared out into the gathering, his ears tuned to that direction and more alert than ever. Yet, he didn't hear a thing: he wanted to. It was too far to hear a singluar voice, but close enough to see the masses. What was this all about? A cure perhaps? It seems to be a celebration of some kind or not. They are all leaving.  He thought and pondered and stared, his eyes played unseen within the dark of the window.

 

"I should investigate." His curiosity outweighed the risks of being captured and killed, but then he thought of Misery. The colt left.

 

-----

"Oh where, oh where has my lovely mare gone? Oh where, oh where could she be?"

 

"With her health cut short but her hopes cut long. Oh where, Oh where could I be?"

 

It was their code for searching for each other. It was nice, simple and playful. All of these things were lacking in true reality. In it was so much complexity, so much anguish, so much morose. Everything was too a bit much for giving souls like him and her, it's nice to take back now, from the darkness who snatched his and her happiness away. Hope gives everything; Fear takes everything. Both end in nothing being left, but feeling nothing gives and takes but remains, that is why it is the most powerful thing here and now in this time. 

 

"Good. Thank heavens your okay."

 

"I'm always okay, except when I'm not." Her voice normal and on morphine. Mister Re noticed the slurred speed and wonky movements.

 

"Misery, you need to ration better. This stuff i give you isn't water and you know it. You're only hurting yourself even more."

 

"Oh, yeah sure. Tell me I'm not going to die and sure I'll believe you. Why do we do this? Why do you think I'll get better? What is the point?" She looked down as if it were a face and frowned.

 

"Listen please," He hugged her tightly with every ounce of his covered skin "I will get you better. I don't care if I promised to let you die, I only care that you will be cured. I'm not gonna let yo-,,,"

 

"I'm coming this time."

 

"Okay, here's the plan."

Next thing Sands knew was that he was on the tall rooftops. Running, jumping, climbing he made his way to the rendezvous point where he was going to meet his team. Looking down at the almost empty street he noticed a single mare walking down, soon followed by a group of what looked to be Dead-Watch members. 

 

The stallion paused for a second, and climbed a bit down in order to inspect the situation closer. 

 

"Where you going to, cutie?" one of the ponies mugged her.

 

"Not your business, now please leave me alone!" The poor mare responded quickening up her pace.  

 

"Why would we ever do that? Guys, get her. " As he finished one of the unicorns in the group cast an immobilization spell upon her. 

 

"NO, please! I have children to feed! Please no!" she begged. Sunset Sands ears perked up as he heard that she had children, normally he would have ignored the situation and thought that there is no place for weakling in this world. But he felt an urge to help her. 

 

"Well, we got our dogs to feed, and some certain other ideas planned for you. Go on, take her awa-ghhhgg!" The pony who seemed to be the leader froze, he felt cold. Suddenly he dropped to the ground. His friends looking at the situation in horror. THey noticed a wide sharp peace of crystal in his neck and another one in the back of his head.

The group formed a protective circle around the mare,  trying to not loose their catch, the unicorn casting a shield around them.

 

Sunset jumped down, facing the bandits eyes to eyes. The only thing standing between them being the shield.

 

Slowly taking out his rapier he pointed it at the group, slowly approaching the shield.  He stopped in front of it, looking at the horror in his enemies eyes. The bandits also slowly drawing their weapons. A rusty sword and a spiked club. The unicorn slowly tiring of putting up a shield let go. 

 

As the force field dropped the two other bandits rushed the masked unicorn. With a swift move he parried the first attack of a rusty sword, using the sword lock to get behind the pony and stab his friend threw the neck. Grabbing the limp club wielding earth pony he meat shielded a stab coming from the sword wielder. Throwing the body at him the sword dwelled in deeper and seemed to be stuck. Before the poor Dead-Watch bandit could pull it out he could not find his voice and fell to the ground. His throat being quickly cut. 

 

Sunset Sands eyed the unicorn, trying to regain his strength, casting a wind blow spell upon the masked stallion as his last defense. 

Sunsets horn lit up as a sharp crystal materialized in front of the weak unicorn. Suddenly the projectile going straight in between his eyes. Leaving a look of horror on his face as the last bandit dropped dead. 

 

The stallion looked down at the mare, this was all he could do for her. Walking away he noticed her regaining her strength and running away from the scene. 

 

Teleporting back to the roof top he continued climbing. After about 3 more minutes he reached his destination. A rendezvous point where he was going to meet his team mates. Surprising he was the first pony here, so he decided to sit down and wait.

"Well, well, well... what do we have here?" A voice said. Red turned his head to see the figure better. It was a silver colored stallion, who wore sunglasses and a fancy suit. Much like all the richer ponies.

"Oh, I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but to overhear your conversation." The stallion said with a smirk. "It seems like my... friend has caused you a bit of trouble, yes?"

"You mean, the pony who..."

"Forced you to give him 50 bits in two days, yes. Mind you, he isn't corrupt at all. He just want's his share so he could feed his family."

"His share?" Red asked, puzzled.

"Look, I'm running... or ran a gang in this city. Guards, who were forced into working for me. Regular ponies were pretty much mugged in the alleys... I was one of the richest ponies in town. I had everything. Bodyguards, money, money, and money. After an incident, I was left with only one of the poor sods. No more guards... no more money... and that all was because someone poked his head in when he didn't need to. He calls himself Stained Steel, and by the looks of your wounds..." He motions over to Red's wing. "You've already met him and his friends... he's the one collecting up all the bits from the street's. Clean work, if I say so myself. But it has gone too far."

Taking a few steps towards Red, the pony threw the bag of bits over his shoulder.

"I'm offering you... and your friends a deal: We take him off the streets, you all get the money that is left over in the streets, eventually becoming as rich as I once was. Imagine it all... houses, food, money, all you can imagine. And what do I get? The satisfaction that the scum is gone for good. Think about it. By the way, the 50 bits you were supposed to deliver will be transfered to someone else if you're up for the task." He walked to the door and opened it, turning back to say: "If you havae made up your mind, I'll be waiting just outside this door. Oh, and miss guard, I think you are smart enough to not call the others, yes?" Then he left, leaving the three alone again.

Mister Re dragged his head down, this plan always went so right but also so horribly wrong. So much loss, and for what? The pursuit of knowledge? Knowing more, it was his thirst, his destiny, his life but she took things way too far sometimes. The plan was a simple invasion... of infected. All it took was a bottle of morphine, a stack of hay and horde of afflicted. Since sound is to which they follow, Misery gathers them with a lullaby as she wanders through the streets. From there, She fed them one by one a little hay treated with morphine. The stomach in starvation is very small so minuscule amounts are needed for them. Also, since the liver is fighting the disease, it will have no time break down the anesthetic, making the body feel no pain and also lasting exponentially in duration. These were the cannon fodder. These were the desperate for the cure. These were the blind. Once Misery has herded enough, she speaks.

 

"Today, there is truth. Today, there is a redemption. And today, you will have it! My name is Misery and I do love your company but I have business to conduct. I am blind now because some pony betrayed me. Now I'm abandoned like you all. I feel lonely, lost, hungry and sick but that'll all change. There is a cure but you must follow me. If you follow me, you must fight, because they are selfish! Now, who's with me?"  Every pony cheers.

 

It was systematic, terrible but calculated. Mr. Re loved his Misery yet feared some of her insides.

After about ten minutes of walking, Steel led the group inside a stone house, with alot of graffiti on it.

"This stuff keeps most of the ponies away. For some reason they think it's evil or something." Steel said after seeing Red look at the graffiti with a brow raised.

From the inside, the house looked pretty big, but not much furniture was present.

Afraid of the group losing trust in him because of the sight, Steel quickly added: "Downstairs is in pretty bad shape, the attic is the real star here."

They approached the attic, and Steel opened the door, revealing a decent place to stay. In the middle of the room was a table, in the left room, a couple of beds. There was also a smaller table with some chairs and a radio. The room was lit with a small lamp, that hung from the roof. Also, near the table was a small fridge, that atleast seemed to be working.

"Ahh... welcome home, lads. Now, I know, this isn't much right now, but once we get those sweet bits, we're going to buy some stuff to make this place atleast half decent."

Steel coughed, probably because of all the dust that was present.

"Eugh... anyway, come right on in, make yourself at home. If you want to start with our plans, then just let me know. Don't forget to close the door." He walked over to one of the chairs and sat on it, pulling out a small bottle of water from the fridge. Red was amazed, he hadn't seen a place like this after the plague hit.

"Wow... look at all this..." He muttered, as he walked around the room, looking at everything.

Trenched let go of Red when we asked with out a word. He was still in thought when they reached the house. He took a look around the attic to remember each nook and cranny. Soon we take a walk around the rest of the house to do the same thing. He takes a seat in the chair near the door and took off his bags and his club holster and put then on the side of the chair. He looks over to the fridge. "Do you have lemon aid?"
