"You can come Miss Rocket." Brandon said, with a friendly smile. He was hoping she would want to go to the castle. If all went well, he have a few ideas for her to do. After saying that he slowly walked to the castle, giving Pop enough time to catch up.

---

"Well I was going to say that that wasn't going to be necessary till we had proof of a resistance. But since Colourblind did what he just did he gets to go out and look for them to see if there is a resistance." Tirek spoke, eyeing Colourblind. He knew something was up with him, but didn't know what.

Tirek looked at Opium then Pitch, "I figured there would be a resistance, which is why I sent those redcoats out to Ponyville. As for you Pitch, if you were wanting to head to Ponyville yourself that will be a no. We need you in the Dragon Lands. They still haven't fallen completely." Tirek then looked back at Opium, "Alright, what's this little idea of yours?"

Bounty also followed, keeping an eye on Pop Rocket, though he was glad that she has decided to join the team. On the way, Bounty began to have an achy feeling. He couldn't tell what it was, but it made him worry about Pitch. I wonder if they had his trial, yet. he thought, Perhaps Crossfire would wait till my return, before starting the trial. I just hope...

---

Pitch stepped back a bit. Dragons. Pitch hated dragons. He has seen what they can do to ponies, and he always feared meeting the same fate as them. However, Pitch realized that he had no choice but to do as Tirek said, less he would meet an even worse fate than being burned to death by a lizard. "Alright," he said, "But, I've seen what dragons are capable of. Not to mention that they are very hard to kill. Can I have some new weapons, I could use? Perhaps a couple really swords, and strong armour?"

I just hope...

Pop Rocket smiled warmly and trotted faster to catch up with the group. It felt odd to be part of a group... Normally, she was alone, nopony to talk to except her stuffed animals. Pop Rocket sighed sadly. She missed her stuffed animals. They were her only source of companionship after her parents were killed, because of... her. "M-My Equestria isn't like this at all..." Pop said sadly. To be honest she was a little homesick.

"Well I was going to say that that wasn't going to be necessary till we had proof of a resistance. But since Colourblind did what he just did he gets to go out and look for them to see if there is a resistance." Tirek spoke, eyeing Colourblind. He knew something was up with him, but didn't know what.

Opium tumbled over onto the ground when Colorblind kicked him. It wasn't really a normal fall, more like an overly dramatic swoon. He sat up, rubbing his cheek, "Ouchies..." Hopefully it wouldn't bruise too bad now that his little mission was cancelled. "Goddesses... That was a dick move..." Opium mumbled before looking to Tirek, "What can I do? Can I do with Pitch? I know tons about dragon anatomy!"

[The Republic of Greater Appalachia]

"Oh, what was your Equestria like?" Brandon asked, as he came up the castle entrance. "It couldn't be any worse than mine, mine is a barren wasteland." Ghost commented as he looked around the castle wall. There really wasn't much, just overgrown vines and weeds, no sign of activity around the main entrance of the castle.

---

"Yes, you and Pitch can head down to the armory, you tell and show Pitch what he needs to know to fight those awful dragons." Tirek commented. Opium was turning out to be full of help and ideas for Tirek and Discord. Though Tirek couldn't help but think that Colourblind wasn't really a good idea. If he kept up this attitude he would be next to get leeched by Tirek.

Bounty heard Brandon's question, and Ghost's answer. He raised an eyebrow thinking for a moment that might be from the same universe has him. "My Equestra is a barren wasteland, too." said Bounty, "Reduced to that state after a Great War, between Equestria and the Zebra Empire, and torn apart again, after a second Great War. I fought in both of those wars, even though they were centuries, apart."

---

Pitch sighed in relief, thanking Tirek for allowing him to use the armory. "Thank you, Lord Tirek." he said, before heading towards the armory, "I'm happy to serve your cause." Pitch was actually lying with that statement. He has no loyalty towards Tirek, or anypony for that matter, and is only working for Tirek because he sees profit in it. "Come on, Opium." said Pitch, "Let's go." Before heading down the halls, Pitch took one last look at Colourblind, and immediately saw her as something to use. Soon, Colourblind. his treacherous mind thought, You will be of great use to me. ...I promise.

Ghost commented as he looked around the castle wall. There really wasn't much, just overgrown vines and weeds, no sign of activity around the main entrance of the castle.

"The part of my Equestria I live is kinda a wasteland... It's the Badlands, way south... It's like a giant fuckfest of violence, crime, corruption, hate... and for me uh- loneliness..." Pop Rocket awkwardly shifted her weight and looked down at her forehooves as she trotted. Pop continued, "Celestia is a big fat meanie that probably steals cake from babies... Luna is like... bleh... she isn't okay... ugh..." Pop Rocket mumbles, "...Bad touch..." For a moment she looks up at the sky before looking back down to her hooves. "But like the worst pony is this girly, pretty colt prick named Opium Rush... I pay protection racket, but the only thing stopping me from drilling a hole in his tooth and giving him a thermite filling is 'cuz I owe him..." Pop Rocket finished, finally going silent.

Opium followed after Pitch into the armory... And couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. This was definitely a different Equestria, the royal armory would've been chalked full of .45 and .50 caliber goodies. "Okay Pitchy! Dragons aren't all that bad! They're just big, ugly alligators that would make better purses, vests, and food, than livin' creatures!" Opium said cheerfully, and picked up a knife into his fetlock, "A dragon has one big ol' weakspot! Their underbelly and neck!" Opium made swishing motion with the knife and rolled onto his back on the floor, "Before I continue, I swear to Luna if you try and take advantage of me while I'm doing this, I probably won't be able to stop you... Now! Immature dragons are easier to go at thanks to their generally upright posture! I recommend broad, vertical strokes to gut'em! Big dragons gon' be harder... 'Cuz they're big... Questions... and don't stare at me down there or I'll kick you in the spleen..."

Soundwave, The unstable assassin
Soundwave was hunting some changlings in a wastelend in a forgotten part of Equestria, He had been tracking them for three months. Whilst tracking them he had witnessed the same slaughter he experianced first hand many years ago, He had finally caught up with the changlings as they prepared to attack a village. "Finally i've got you now you fucking monstrosities" Soundwave positioned himself above them, he jumped down and brutally snapped the neck of one changling, he used the screams of the first changling and cast it as a bolt to cause another changlings head to explode. As he watched its head explode he laughed maniacaly. and uncontrollable, the last changling backed trying to escape Soundwave, he kept teleporting where it would run. The changling finally backed itself into a wall when Soundwave collected the sounds of the howling wind around him to shoot himself forward at the changling, but when he was withing choking distance of it a portal opened and Soundwave fell through it.
Soundwave fell through a portal before the group in the armoury, he stood back up and monipulated sounds around him to dust his purple and black coat and Maine, he still didn't know the group stood before him as he put his hood back on "Where the hell am i?" Soundwave examined his surrounding before he saw the Group "........Oh...Hi" Soundwave was anxious around people he didn't know "I...I am Sound....Soundwave" He tried avoiding eye contact with the others despite wearing a hood.

[Dawnguard Vampire hunters]

Soundwave stared at pitch and opium "Uh.......Hello there.....Nice armoury you got here...." Soundwave looked around the armoury to see if there were throwing daggers or something small for him to easily wield. "There's nothing but swords and spears here, where are the crossbows and the halberds?" Soundwave continued to look around the armoury but stayed in sight of Pitch and Opium.

[Dawnguard Vampire hunters]

Soundwave stopped funbling about the armoury, he tuned to Opium and Pitch and stared at them, examined them to make sure they weren't actually changlings in pony form, He prepared himself if they attacked if his hunch was correct, his eye although they couldn't see it started twiching, and a grin cracked across his face. "Who are you? Did you bring me here? Cause i was this close to violently gutting a changling basterd before going through that portal thingy"

[Great and Glorious Martese Unionins]

OOC: i'm going away on holiday and i'll be back in a week or so, Just thought you should know.

[The Republic of Greater Appalachia]

"That has to suck." Brandon said as he finished looking around. "Well the place seems clear, so you guys can go ahead inside, except for you Miss Rocket, I have a little job that requires your skills." Brandon added. Ghost went and got the others and they went inside.

---

Tirek and Discord watched as Opium and Pitch left, unaware of their new visitor. "Now Goldfinger, tell me again, what do you do?" Tirek asked, looking for a job for Golfinger to do.

Goldfinger said to Tirek," I am a gold smuggler".

"Who are you? Did you bring me here? Cause i was this close to violently gutting a changling basterd before going through that portal thingy"

Pitch listened to Opium's lecture, trying not to yawn. He already knew how easy dragon younglings could be killed. It was the full grown adults that he hated. At least, however, Pitch now knows how to kill the full growns. Pitch raised an eyebrow. Opium was an odd pony, yet, the name sounded a bit familiar to him. Pitch chuckled. "Now, Opium, why would I ever try to take advantage of you?" he said placing a hoof on Opium's shoulder, "To do that to a good-looking stallion would be a crime!" Of course Pitch was only using flattery, and was already trying to take advantage of Opium, by using his big ego, as a tool. "Thank you for the lecture. ...Yes I do have some questions." However, before Pitch could ask his question, he heard a voice, and looked behind him to see a cloaked pony. He grinned maliciously at Soundwave, before teleporting behind him. With is magic Pitch raised Soundwave into the air, and brutally slammed him into a wall, facing him. "Hi, newcomer!" said Pitch, with a psychotic smile, "I almost didn't notice you." He laughed childishly, though tried to resist the urge to kill Soundwave. Something told him, that Tirek wouldn't like it. "If you want to know who's in charge, go that way!" said Pitch, pointing towards the door the to the throne room.

[Dawnguard Vampire hunters]

As Soundwave was slammed into the wall he coffed up a bit of blood, as the blood trickled down his face a smile cracked across his face, he used the sound of him crashing against the wall to blast pitch back to let him go. "Hello to you too" Soundwave picked himself up and looked to where Pitch pointed down he hall "So down there is the reason I'm here? Good they have some explianing to do" without waiting to see if pitch was ok Soundwave ran back down the hall to see two figures infront of him. One was Discord the other Tirek. He stared at the two "Which one of you brought me here? I was in the middle of something you see"

[Das Metro]

"That has to suck." Brandon said as he finished looking around. "Well the place seems clear, so you guys can go ahead inside, except for you Miss Rocket, I have a little job that requires your skills." Brandon added. Ghost went and got the others and they went inside.

Pop Rocket stopped and excitedly watched as the others left into the building. A no doubt super-duper secret mission of her own? And she'd get to blow some shit up? This sounded good. "What do you need?" she asked, trying to mask her excitement. Pop didn't want to seem too anxious to get started... She wanted to seem as cool as everybody as did, and not a lonely young mare that missed the company of her stuff animals. Because that was lame.

Pitch listened to Opium's lecture, trying not to yawn. He already knew how easy dragon younglings could be killed. It was the full grown adults that he hated. At least, however, Pitch now knows how to kill the full growns. Pitch raised an eyebrow. Opium was an odd pony, yet, the name sounded a bit familiar to him. Pitch chuckled.

"If you want to know who's in charge, go that way!" said Pitch, pointing towards the door the to the throne room.

Opium giggled slightly when Pitch paid him a compliment. Pfft, he didn't need some microwave faced pony to know he was fabulous! Still, the words were suffice to stoke his ego, and Opium smiled broadly up until Pitch left after some newcomer. Opium made an annoyed huffing noise and trotted after him, "Pitchy!? Pitchy! Get your rotted flanks back here! What was your questions?"

[The Republic of Greater Appalachia]

"I want you to go around and set up mine's in this field in front of the main entrance, but map it out so no one accidentally gets a leg blown off." Brandon spoke, pointing to the field in front of the entrance. Meanwhile Ghost was wondering around and managed to find the arsenal. "Oh, wicked, all the gear I used to have is on here."

---

Tirek and Discord went over to a map and started mumbling about the war and progress when they looked at Goldfinger. "Come here, we need some advice on how to move our troops." Tirek spoke, figuring Goldfinger probably knew how to plan routes to move without detection.

[Dawnguard Vampire hunters]

Soundwave stared at Discord and Tirak as they went over to a map with another pony, He wasn't suprised that he was ignored, though for the powerful Discord to summon him out of others in his line of work he was honoured for Discord to choose him.

Looking around Soundwave saw lots of different ponies and what looked like humans, each doing their own thing. Soundwave glanced at each of them doing their own thing. Soundwave looked to see what he could do, after some thought he went over to the map and looked at what was on it.

[Pinki3 Pon-3]

(Flutters, Colourblind is a stallion )

Colourblind
I glared around the room angrily as they others vacated. Suddenly I felt furious at them once again. Now I was saddled with another useless recon job, ill-equipped and under prepared. I turned and moved out, kicking a wall angrily as I trotted out. It wouldn't be long before I fell under the sympathy of some do-gooding fool of a pony. I hated sympathy, where was it when I fucking well needed it?! I wouldn't show any, nopony else need show it to me. I continued angrily, wandering blindly onwards with no sense of direction.

[Dawnguard Vampire hunters]

Soundwave turned to see a pony angrilly kicking a wall and trotting out of a room "Jeez wondet what that was about" He proceeded to go and find out hat that was, he then found a pony aimlessly wondering, he looked very angry so he must have been the angry pony that kicked the wall "Hey yoy ok mister" Soundwave thought to himself, if he was anything like Pitch he woyld need to be ready, soundwave levitated a knife from its holster behind his back leg.

Colourblind
I whirled around angrily and glared at the new arrival. Am I okay? No . . . No I don't think I am okay. I watched him angrily with my lone, grey eye. Its partner having been lost ages ago. The unicorn before me must have been summoned too. Simply another piece in my white, grey and black world. I nodded to answer his question. The look in my eye was as solemn as it had ever been, I felt as lifeless as the eye-patch that covered my left eye. No need to expose my condition by speaking.

[Dawnguard Vampire hunters]

Soundwave looked at the stallion again but this time putting away his knife "Just a nod huh, i knew a mute once, boy did he scream as he died haha...sorry haha" Soundwave scratched his head nervously "So you need any help with whatever the hell your doing? Not that you might need it, its just that i have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing. One nod for yes and...nevermind sorry" Soundwave said jokingly.

Colour
A short raspy chuckle rumbled in my throat. I paused for a moment as I considered whether it was a good idea to show him. This unicorn seemed like a good ally to have. I felt the crystal shards that had replaced my rotted teeth scrape against each other as they slid open across each other. Viscous strings of acid which made polite conversation nigh impossible, stretched between my myriad of crystal fangs,
"Not mute, just shy."
I said with an unnerving smile and another chuckle.
"I am Colourblind . . . Both in name and actual sight . . . Yeah, I'm on recon duty for a resistance . . . Wanna help?"
I asked in my raspy, unused voice.

[Dawnguard Vampire hunters]

Soundwave smiled "Nice to meet you colourblind, i would love to accompany you with reconnaissance." Soundwave took his hood down "Got abit of a soar throat there friend, i don't have anything for that though suppose you've been dealing with it though" He put his hood back down and guestured for colourblind to lead the way "You first friend"

"If you want to know who's in charge, go that way!" said Pitch, pointing towards the door the to the throne room.

Opium giggled slightly when Pitch paid him a compliment. Pfft, he didn't need some microwave faced pony to know he was fabulous! Still, the words were suffice to stoke his ego, and Opium smiled broadly up until Pitch left after some newcomer. Opium made an annoyed huffing noise and trotted after him, "Pitchy!? Pitchy! Get your rotted flanks back here! What was your questions?"

Pitch was taken by surprise, by Soundwave's blast, and used his magic to stop himself from being slammed into a wall. Pitch tried to catch his breath for a moment, and watched with a hateful glare as Soundwave ran into the throne room. Fool! he thought, You'll pay for that! Pitch then looked at Opium, trying to recollect himself, before walking back to the armory. "Unfortunately." he said, "I forgot my question."

---

Bounty gazed at the ruined castle as they arrived. Interesting. he thought, I don't recall this ever existing in my universe. ...It must be unique or something. Bounty then walked around for a bit, exploring the exterior of the castle. He then decided to meet up with Brandon and the others, wondering if there's a task he can do. "Excuse me, Brandon." said Bounty, "Is there anything I can do to help around here?"

[Das Metro]

Pitch then looked at Opium, trying to recollect himself, before walking back to the armory. "Unfortunately." he said, "I forgot my question."

"Damm it Pitchy!" Opium said stomping his hooves, "What if it was a life or death question?!" Opium was not very impressed with new dragon-slaying students forgetfulness. Next thing y'know, he's forgetting whats dragons look like! Or that dragon fire does not have medicinal purposes. Opium knows, he's tried catching dragon fire. Bad idea. "Silly Pitchy... Silly, silly Pitchy..." Opoum said shaking his head, and ruffled Pitch's mane.

"I want you to go around and set up mine's in this field in front of the main entrance, but map it out so no one accidentally gets a leg blown off." Brandon spoke, pointing to the field in front of the entrance. Meanwhile Ghost was wondering around and managed to find the arsenal. "Oh, wicked, all the gear I used to have is on here."

Pop smiled at her job. That was right up her alley! She even had some gunpowder mines in her bag. "Can do! I'm not liable for any injuries ponies get if they stumble onto them though..." Pop Rocket mumbled. Legal problems would be big problems in this Equestria. Mainly because it was central Equestria, and not the godless Badlands. She waved at Bounty and galloped away to plant her mines.
