    That nerve-wracking tick is gone! Only to be replaced by a foreboding, nervous silence. Yay?

    Hopefully the timer IS still governing them and just not counting down. Because the alternative would be very bad. Really, she'd have just pulled out the wires if she thought disconnecting them from the timer would work.

    At any rate, the good news is that proximity mines are actually pretty easy to disarm one by one thanks to the fact that somepony's clever design involved having them loudly beep before exploding and, unless these are a different model than the common ones, there's a button hidden on the shell that disengages the mine's activity regardless of how close it is to going off.

    The grenades are a little more worrisome, because disabling those would require either that the pins be replaced or that they be individually taken apart so that the detonation trigger could be separated from the actual explosive. Unless whichever crazy pony built this kindly left a nice bundle of grenade pins nearby (or left them scattered on the floor where they're easy to reach), the latter method will likely be necessary.

    The plastic explosives would be the easiest to disarm, actually. The whole point of them is that they're easy to mold, so unless she's unfortunate enough for the builder to have been competent with telecommunications for detonating without a direct connection, it should be a simple matter to dig the detonator(s) out of the putty safely.

    Thinking a bit, Pineapple checks the ground for any handy pins or pin substitutes that she can use. If she can find some, she starts working from the outside in to reduce the risk of jostling active explosives carelessly, properly disconnecting the ones she successfully disarms and gingerly placing them off to the side where they are not an immediate threat to her.

    If she has no such luck, she takes the mines first from the outside in before going straight for the Plastic Explosives. The grenades are the hardest ones to safely disable without pins, so she simply does her best to not disturb them while she takes apart and sets aside the rest of the deadly ordinance.

    Foreboding silence, just waiting to be interrupted by a life-ending explosion!

    But not yet. Clearly this still isn't the appropriate time, since Pineapple is still there, debating with herself and hunting for grenade pins that don't seem to actually exist.
    There's little twigs, if she's particularly desperate, but they're certainly not very sturdy.

    On the brighter side of things, these seem to be completely stock-standard mines so those are pretty easy to fix up.

    Wow, this sure is going well so far.
    Time to dig into that plastique!

    Good news, Pineapple!
    You found the grenade pins.
    They all seem to be sticking out of that peculiar little thing that probably used to be a plastic explosives detonator.

    Huh, wonder why?

    "Radio interference indicates possible hostile contacts. Decapitated and mutilated skull indicates very hostile contacts. I suggest we continue with caution. And possibly murder everything that isn't loyal to Equestria," the cybernetic soldier deadpans. After a moment, he gives a shrug of his weapon-laden limbs. "But that's just my opinion."

    Lamianos throws a smile towards Eledwhen's way before resuming his monotonous, grim beat. His hooves began to do a slow thump in time with his humming before he queitly sang "Look down.... Look down.... Don't look'em in the eye....." His voice a whisper as he continued on.

    Well crud. That was unexpected. With another sharp weapon at his disposal Maul yanks he knifes from the warriors corpse, begins pulling at the spear, and attempts to flay/gut the last remaining warrior.

    The sarcasm did not go over Swift's head, he just didn't care, it didn't amuse him enough or get him gems. He only stared at Finder though his opaque goggles saying nothing. After hearing Ducard speak but not listening, the aloof ghoul touched his own armored chest as his horn glowed. His eyes focused at a far distance from the direction he had traveled from.

    The light enveloped the five of them as they found themselves teleported....halfway through the forest and then instantly teleported again to the edge of the mushroom forest where the train tracks would be seen just over yonder.

    Corpse? Maul Steel may find himself in need of glasses and clarity, panic does no one no good, makes ya hallucinate. Anyway, Maul Steel would find his tug at the knives hampered, hindered, as the not dead fallen warrior grunted as he TK'd them back, not allowing Maul his precious knives, conducting a tug of war. He shot him an angry look and tugged hard, not caring that he was hurting himself.

    This would unfortunately for Maul cancel out tugging the spear which also implies that the bro warrior was just standing there like a derp letting him or some such silliness. But that's silly. 'Bro warrior' gritted his teeth and pointed his spear at Maul Steel.

    "Enough of this! You will surrender and I won't kill you as much as I would like to avenge my brother." He angrily said wrapping his TK around the other spear. Like he'd let some evil outsider taint and steal their sacred weapons.

    ...Yeah, twigs ain't gonna cut it. Believe it or not, Pineapple learned particular lesson that the hard way a few years back. The springs in those safety levers will cut right through any twig or splinter thin enough to fit through the pinhole. Given that, honestly, she learned most of these lessons the hard way, it's really a wonder she isn't dead yet.

    Then again, she's never had to deal with something quite this deranged in its construction.


    Naturally, when she finally spots the actual grenade pins stuck into the central detonator, her jaw drops. Then she takes a look at the wires and grenades. Then back at the pins.

    Cue facehoof.

    A rational pony might notice that there is no way that those pins would actually be doing anything while stuck to the detonator, considering that said detonator is in no way designed for use with grenade pins, and thus it should be pretty much safe to just take them. However, this insane contraption has left Pineapple less than rational. Thus, she proceeds with her initial plan: One by one, from the outside in, unscrew the explosive and shrapnel sections of each grenade from its firing apparatus! If it hadn't fired yet, after all, this shouldn't cause that to happen. Hopefully.

    Well, you know what they say: When in doubt-

    "OH SWEET CELESTIA PLEASE DON'T HURT ME! I'LL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT!"

    ......Give up and retreat like a cowardly mewl.... Well then, seems like Maul Steel has had enough opposition for now. This stallion could easily kill him, which means the ex slaver just falls back on his routine "Cower and scurry away from the big bad slaver boss man" that he did to all the higher ups back at Old Appleloosa. Not exactly heroic or epic, but hey, baby steps.

    Being an earth pony who rarely interacted with unicorn magic Ducard was highly discombobulated by the teleportation. This was only worsened by the fact that he was turned slightly upon arrival, and thus his heavy metallic form fell sideways against the dirt below. Releasing an audible grunt the Steel Ranger begins picking himself up as he says "Well then, I guess i'll be heading off to my brothers. Best of luck to you, natives, and may the wasteland have mercy on your soul." He bows his head courteously before heading off, accessing his map to get a better idea of which direction exactly he was facing.

    Yes. Mutant hooves, and not a mistake. That is the correct assumption.

    Swift Star chose not too acknowledge Elestre's comment, he was too busy collecting his bearings, group teleporting was not easy for him, it took a heavier toll on his gems. They still had a loooooooong way to go. At least an hour or so by teleport and many hours by hoof simply. And Ducard decided to prematurely leave the group and take the long route. Meh, Swift didn't care that much, Ducard wasn't a priority like the other three. He stared at Ducard for a moment and then looked north along the train tracks and teleported the other three again leaving the steel ranger behind at the edge of Wild Rabbit Woods.

    Anyways, eventually, the four after a large number of series of teleports, the four found themselves looking at the entrance to Fillydelphia and its large walls and gates. The sky behind seemed a perpetual hellish red, an industrial jungle grown on the backs of suffering.

    At the sound of a soft *click*, Pineapple immediately drops what she's doing and leaps out the dilapidated window, covering her head and really hoping she isn't already dead!

    "Horseapples!"

    At least she had the forethought to move all those mines and other disabled explosives safely away from the pile of grenades. Massed grenades like that can do a lot of damage, but she's probably reduced the overall payload by at least half.

    Naturally, if nothing happens after ten seconds or so, she sheepishly lifts her head up and feels really, really stupid.

    The stable colt doesn't really comment on anything, still trying to hold back his wrath, then after many teleports he's kind of achieving on doing it... Until they reach Fillydelphia, the general place seemed no exactly what he would take, and all that rage would be trying to spark again.

    So yeah, silence, but now he's visibly grimmacing.

I like my face and I need that for Foxfire.... Here... You can try and kick in my knee, b-b-boss did that whenever he got really mad or bored...." He extends a hind leg and reveals his lower left knee cap for full view. Nice and exposed for kicking.

    Ducard harumhs as he hears the teleportation "Going to get themselves killed, fools......" He proceeds to continue walking down the path of life alone towards the SR base, trying to tune into any Steel Ranger radio he can so that he can request an immedieate escort (Stating his name rank and title whenever applicable).

    Lamianos eventually begins to get dreary eyed, bored of not being able to do anything constructive. Yawning he pushes himself up, extends his bat wings, and begins to flap them as he starts heading towards town to strike up that dame's offer on trying to break his face in (How could he say no?). Oblivious to the potential bomb arsenal not too far away.

    Being discombobulated before a teleport does little to help with the discombobulations from being teleported. Finder stumbles a bit before falling flat on his side. Once again, this is a good time to have not eaten recently.

    [Ponyville - The Bomb]

    Pineapple's self esteem is completely safe!

    The grenade will explode pretty much immediately, there to trigger a movie-worthy chain-explosive in the bombmass that is likely completely fueled by its designer's insanity.

    What's left of the window is doomed, the wall is doomed, and most of the building is probably pretty doomed after all the structural damage is accounted for. If it was just frag-grenades, it probably wouldn't have been too bad...
    But alas, whatever stability the plastique had seems to have vanished as well.

    Kaboom.

    If Pineapple stays just outside the window with her dive, the mass of ensuing shrapnel and debris is going to be incredibly unhealthy.
    Otherwise, she can get a nice view of the shockwave tearing apart what was once a nice, ruined room.


    The nameless observer shakes his head from where he was hiding and moves on.
    She almost had it.

    Oh well, time to go find Lamianos.

    Well, thankfully basic physics indicate that the actual metal shrapnel will lose the vast majority of its energy as it punches through a wall. Pineapple would be very dead, no questions asked if there were no wall present.

    The mare scrambles across the ground, keeping her head down, but she doesn't get too far before the blast of hot air catches up with her. To her immense fortune, the stuff hitting her is mostly concussive force and slow, blunt bits of wall instead of razor-sharp metal that would take her apart in milliseconds.

    Less fortunately, she's not wearing her armor at the moment, so there's nothing absorbing the force of the blow. It, along with her battle saddle and saddlebags, were left behind in the street when she went galloping off to defuse a bomb.

    In any case, her injuries aren't as severe as they could be, but she's out cold and even more bruised than she was on the way in.

    The warrior looked at him confused a little and then looked at him angrily and shoved his spear up close to his face. "S-shut up, you don't get to be all boo hoo and woe...!" He got a little bit flustered. "Y-you're going to fix that water talisman thingy or so help me....!"

    Well, not quite.

    "Ah...yes. We probably should find a little place to tuck ourselves away to."
    Feel free to supply recommendations Common Sense.
    Like where they can go that won't have them getting stink-eyed by outsider-haters or something.

    That'd be terrible.

    Physics is a nice thing to have on your side sometimes.
    Shame unicorns tend to mess it up a bit.
    Good thing there weren't any present at the moment.

    Hooray for Pineapple not dying horribly?

    Ah, Filly. Such a nice city before the War. Now, it's... well, by Wasteland standards, it's pretty nice! Massive walls to keep it safe, an actual economy and infrastructure, safety, education, order... peace... Yeah, there's a massive radiated crater of doooooom in the center of it, and yeah there's a lot of slave labor, but every bottle cap has too sides. Besides, slavery doesn't last forever. Many of the guards, workers, and soldiers in Red Eyes service were once slaves, but earned their freedom through deed, potential, guile, or fanaticism.

    The giant Pinkie Pie balloons scattered around and full of snipers are a bit of an odd touch, though... There's also the occasional alicorn standing guard or flying over to carry out a patrol.



    A few moments after Swift and the 'heroes' arrive, a griffin and a unicorn approach them. The griffin is black-feathered, clad in bulky combat armor, and holding an assault rifle. The unicorn is a pale-blue mare with a misty-green mane pulled back into a pony tail, clad in light combat barding and armed with two levitating revolvers.

    "Hey there!" the griffin cheerfully greets them in a deep baritone. "Stern said to keep an eye out for you, but we didn't think you'd be back this quickly."

    "Huh, he doesn't look too good..." the mare observes with a frown, nodding towards Finder. "You think we should go get him a medic?"

    The griffin frowns as well. "Maybe. Keep an eye on 'em, Chamber. I'll go let Stern know Red Eye's guests are here, and they might need a doc to check 'em out before the meeting."

    "No problem!" the mare nods with a cheerful smirk. "They shouldn't be any trouble." She tilts her head slightly and looks back and forth between Luka, Elestre, and Finder. "You won't be any trouble, right?" she asks cautiously.

    The griffin gives a nod to to "Chamber" and Swift, before flying off to go find Stern.

    He notices the whole infraestructure thing, but also the tons and tons of slavery, he does not accept 2 sides on a coin, at least like this, however now he's trappen between 2 emotions: Anger, at the mere existance of slavery around the place; and depression, again, because the slavery actually had a somewhat nice product, which would practically break him and his values pretty hard. Though in the middle there's confusion and he tries to keep them at bay, trying to stay in the middle one from the risk of the first, and the pain of the second.

    He would just lower his head, and when the unicorn asks, he would give a kind of slow shake with his head.

    Elestre was... intrigued, to say the least. His knowledge had led him to think that the city would be a lot more grim than this, but he'd take civilization over the wasteland any day. Maybe he'll even warm up to the place?

    "No, we're not troublemakers. Usually."

    His voice was raspy and dry, his throat not allowing for normal talk and lowering his statement to a softer tone.

    Sparky didn't miss a beat at Bright Eyes' proclamation of buying a shovel, but instead mused to himself if a similar implement could potentially be useful to him. Deciding on no, he nodded at Steel.

    As the ex-Steel Ranger wandered away from the tent, an almost equally huge mare, clad in heavy barding that appeared custom-built, approached him.

    "So you're the one who I'm going to be fighting."

    She pointed a hoof away from the tent. "Let's get going now. Don't want to destroy Patch's precious junkmobile by being too close to it."

    Finder gets up just as 'genuine interest' in his condition is displayed. He can't hide just how tired he is, and that doesn't just apply to needing sleep. "I'm fine," the scavver simply states. It's not quite a lie, he's not bleeding or anything.

    He had some dealings with the Red Eyes in the past, seeing as how they're one of the few groups of ponies willing to pay for the kind of stuff he specializes in. It's just that the stallion always had the common sense not to head into their doom fortress.

    Maul Steel shrugs at the guard "Dude, I just ripped the thing out of it's holster. I have no idea how exactly it works, let alone how to fix it. I just know it makes alot of pure water and that's about it....."

    Ponyville

    Lamianos smiles at the mare as he rustles his body "Yes, wouldn't want anyone to s-" And then Hollywood explosion all up in the hizz house!

    Ahem

    Lamianos stops, staring blankly back at town to where he heard the big boom "What the buck........ WHAT THE BUCK. Who di.... Wait, explosions....... Bucking Pineapple, great," He gruffly states as he turns towards the mare he was about to duel "I apologize, it seems as if there is a problem I must attend to first.... I'll be right back." And with that he unfurls his wings again and sets off into the sky in search of Pineapple. Eventually, after a bit of searching (Which to be honest wouldn't take too long, considering the fact that finding a fresh explosion of hollywood caliber shouldn't be too hard) Lamianos finds the destroyed house. Sneering he looks down and begins to descend "Celestia dammit Pineapple. You just had to go around messing with stupid *** explosions and l-, oh...." He notices her current unconscious state and begins to fret.

    "Buck buck buck buck buck, uuuuuuh. Oh, the Doc! Right, he can fix her! Probably... Buck. Hello? Wake up. Come on, don't make me beat you into waking up..... Please?.... Grrrr, alright, your coming with me. Hopefully the doc can wake you up..... And also that your not too ugly afterwards...." He says the last part mostly to himself as he bends over and puts Pineapple Blast on his back. Sinking downward he loses his breathe as he's caught off guard by her weight "Damn, your alot fatter then you look. Yeesh." He complains as he gets a slow start and eventually jumps into the air, ready to fly back to his fight and the Doc's tent.
