"That's a commendable attitude. Anyway, since I don't feel like I'll be very welcome here anymore, I'll be taking my leave." Running Gear said.

"That's a commendable attitude. Anyway, since I don't feel like I'll be very welcome here anymore, I'll be taking my leave." Running Gear said.
Applejack sighs and turns to Twilight. "Thaht pony needs to grow a conscience."
"I heard that." Running Gear said. "If I didn't have a conscience, I would've left Luna to bleed out." She said, wiping some blood off her horn. "Anyway, what are you all gonna do next? Chrysalis knows of this base now."
"I suppose we gotta find a new place... any ideas, Twilli?" Shining Armor asked.
"If I may make a suggestion? We could fortify the old Assault Gun HQ. The Assault Gun Division was on maneuvers during Chrysalis' invasion. There shouldn't be any Changelings there. And for the love of our late Princess Celestia, could somebody bury Luna already?" Running Gear said.
Shining Armor levitates some dirt over the top on Luna's body.
"Whayer is this Assault Gun HQ?" Applejack asked.
"Near Ghastly Gorge." Running Gear replied. "Bit of a long ways to walk, but the fillies and colts can ride on my assault gun's engine deck."
"I suppose we have no choice. Chrysalis will be here soon..." Shining Armor said.
Pinkie Pie fired another flare to the moon.

Soarin spotted the flare. "A flare."
He sighed and begun flying down.... again.
"Come on. Let's get a move on! We need to get there before Chrysalis gets here! I don't want to be responsible for a massacre!" Running Gear yelled before her assault gun rolled up.
"Yo, Running Gear! We were a bit worried about you, so we just went in!" Her loader yelled. Running Gear just rolled her eyes.
"C'mon Ahpple Bloom!" Applejack said, trying to put on a smile, and hopped into the Assault Gun. Apple Bloom followed, a little uneasy.
Pinkie Pie bounced into the Assault Rifle, and Shining Armor lowered the shield and reformed it around the Assault Gun.
Soarin' saw everypony climbing in to the Assault Rifle and flew back. "COME ON EVERYPONY, WE'RE MOVING!"
"Gear, I dunno if the suspension can take the weight." Running Gear's driver said.
"It'll have to. Listen, Differential, I don't like this either." Running Gear replied. Twilight, meanwhile, took note of the... Interesting nicknames these strange ponies had.
Soarin flew back down. "You want us to follow?" he asked Twilight.
"Some eyes in the sky would be nice." Twilight replied before she turned to Applejack. "Say, Applejack, aren't you wondering why Running Gear has been wearing that cloak since we met her?" Twilight asked.
Applejack shakes her head. "She's ah bizzahre pony. Thaht explains ahll."
Soarin nods and flies into the sky.

"Well, that was fun!" Spitfire smiled.
''She's definitely bizarre. Great ears, too. To tell you the truth, I've never seen her take off that cloak either.'' Running Gear's loader, who was peeking out of his hatch, said. ''Only thing I know is that she's a great commander and that her mane wasn't originally olive drab-coloured.''

''You remember when I said you couldn't get me off even if you tried? Well, I was wrong.'' Pupa said.
