>That rejuvenation felt rather nice, and you feel stronger than ever.
>It’s like that mana rehydrated you almost, yet you still feel a potent thirst on your tongue.
>Since you still can’t see anything down the railway, you get back to work, using your bloomed magic to take you even further than before.
>Used Teleport! (-30 MP)
>The instant you zap forward with your farthest reach, you feel a sense of overpowering speed enveloping your body.
>When your senses come to, you realize the entire countryside looks different now, more rocks than desert.
>When you turn around to look, you see that you overpassed the supply cars by nearly a football field’s length.
“Holy shit…”
>You must’ve gone at least three times as far as your last teleport, because that single leap was over 2 miles if that horizon planet curvature thing is true.
>You see some of your party at the sides of the car, and another look forward tells you that two flying figures are headed towards you.
>What would you like to do?
 
 
 
>You squint your eyes to see the figures more clearly, and it turns out to be Gable and Five flying together.
>Not sure what happened there, but they seem fine, and so does the rest of your party.
>Your heart finally breathes with joy and relief knowing they’re alright, so they must’ve stopped the train somehow.
>You wave down the two flyers as best you can, and you walk back towards the supply cars.
>By the time you get within speaking distance, you notice Twilight’s there with them.
>Wait, what’s she doing here?
“Twilight, what are you doing here?”
>As soon as you speak, they all lift their heads in familiar recognition.
>”A-anon?!”
>Redheart’s the first to react, where she gets up and sprints to you.
>Before you can even register what happened, she’s got you in a vice grip.
>”Oh… thank Celestia you’re alright!”
“I-I’m fine, really!”
>The rest of them had gotten up at this point to greet you, and Five and Gable had touched down behind you.
>Twilight then points something out with a confused look.
>”Hey… How did you get on this side? Didn’t you come from the other end?”
>Gable looks around.
>”He wasn’t here?”
>”No, he just came from this side.”
>”We didn’t see him.”
“I teleported a bit too far trying to get back here, sorry about that.”
>Twilight’s eyebrows raise in unison.
>”You must’ve gotten better, then. Either way, let’s continue this at the train station, alright?”
“Oh, okay.”
>Gable shakes his head subtly as he and Five join the group.
>”I have no idea what’s going on…”
>Twilight’s horn flares to life, and you’re all engulfed in a luminous violet light.
>The next time you blink, you’re at a train station you’ve never seen before.
>You do see Steam Pocket though, so you can’t be in too foreign of territory.
>Twilight wipes sweat off her brow from the intensity of the spell she just cast, and smiles at you.
>”Sorry, just wanted to make sure you’d all be here for the carriages. What were you going to say?”
“When I went up to the roof of the train to get the water line, that mule I let live happened to be there. He’s the one that disconnected the supply from the passengers, and we had a little scuffle… I sort of lost, and he threw me off the train.”
>There are multitudes of light gasps, though you’re not sure why since they see you fine and healthy.
>Iron Will looks at you in surprise.
>”Damn, brother. I wouldn’t have pegged you for a true man of Iron like myself! Getting thrown off a speeding locomotive ain’t a picnic, after all.”
>You shrug, and look at Gable and Five.
“Why were you guys separate from them, anyways?”
>Five speaks first.
>”We were given a task by Iron Will to go after the supply cars to check on your condition as well as attempt to stop the robbery.”
“...So how did the others-”
>Twilight intervenes.
>”I got them here, actually. Like I told them, when Celestia sent me a letter about fears of a robbery on the railroads, I figured out it was yours and got here as fast as I could. I managed to stop the collision and I brought them to the supply cars to see if we couldn’t help, but…”
“But?”
>Redheart chimes in with a sullen tone.
>”We were too late. The cars were completely empty.”
>...So everything you did was for nothing.
>Killing those thugs served no purpose.
>You try to push the despair-riddled thought out of your mind as you remove your kit from your bag.
“Alright, anyways. Iron, Gable, Berry, come here, we need to get those bullets out.”
>Red gets your attention.
>”I actually took care of Berry in the lull of the situation. I’ll help you with the other two.”
“Thanks.”
>Used Doctor’s Kit on Iron Will and Gable (split)
[Removed bullets from body cavities of Iron and Gable!]
>...
>”Quit your whining, Will! It wasn’t that bad.”
>The toughened minotaur snorts derisively.
>”Speak for yourself toots, that stung! You stuck metal inside my wounds, how would that not hurt even the most rockin’ sockin’ bull there is?”
“Gable didn’t say anything.”
>Gable smiles in the background as Iron rolls his eyes.
>”He doesn’t count.”
“Sure…”
>Twilight starts walking off a little bit as you make sure they’re both alright.
>”Alright everypony. I need to get back to Winsome as soon as possible, so is there anything you guys need before I go?”
>Is there anything you’d like to ask Twilight before she leaves?
 
 
 
 
[spoiler]>Everyone looks around at each other, not having anything else to say.
>At this point, you grow a devilish grin on your face, and decide to ham it out to lighten up the situation.
“Well shit! I guess you’re just a fucking cunt! Come back to meh when you got that stick out yo ass!”
>Twilight’s jaw drops as you begin to gyrate your entire body to move your legs in a specific set of motions that project the illusion of forward momentous bipedal walking while at the same time in reality simply moving backwards.
>From somewhere out in Equestria, you hear a canterlot voice yell ‘THAT’S MY MOVE, MORTAL!’
>Well fuck Moonbutt’s shit, you’re better at it.
>In fact, you’re so good at it that Redheart, Twilight and Berry start cumming and farting uncontrollably.
>It becomes a powerful rhythm that not even the King of Pop himself could handle, and the moon suddenly dislodges from Woona’s grasp and falls into Equestria, destroying the planet instantly.
>Somewhere out in the depths of the rocky aftermath in space, your feet still walk…
>...On the moon.

“I just wanted to say thank you. I owe you one for helping us out.”
>”Aww, it’s no problem. You would’ve done the same for me.”
>Regardless, you lean in and the two of you hug each other tightly.
>She smells oddly enough of skittles.
>Maybe it’s the byproduct of being in a city filled with rainbow falls.
>Once you part from her, a few more things pop into your head.
“By the way, when you see Pinkie, can you tell her to pick a birthday for me? I don’t have any memory of it right now, and it’s not like I know the dates of this world anyways. I think she’ll have a bit of fun with it.”
>Twilight gives you an odd look.
>”Wait, so in your world it’s different from January and February, and Tuesday and the likes?”
“...Er, no. I guess it’s the same then.”
>She smiles at you.
>”You’re so weird sometimes. I’ll see you guys later!”
>Everyone waves to her, but something crosses your mind at that instant.
“Hold up! Before you leave, just one second. I found this note while I was securing their weapons, might be important. I doubt it pertains to Winsome Falls, but it can't hurt to check.”
>Twilight looks at the letter you hold with interest.
>”Okay, let’s see it.”
 
[You open the letter allowing you and Twilight to read it.]
[Letter to M]
 
This is your last chance. Do not fail me on this simple job or you will suffer dearly for all of your failures while serving under me. We need this Trotium if we’re ever going to make better weapons for ourselves, and while Mr. Gear has proven himself a powerful financial ally, we cannot rely on our funds alone to get the materials we need. Failure is not an option. The lives of not only your family, but your teammates’ as well, depend on it. It’d be a shame to see them in the Equestrian obituaries.
 
~DF
[End Letter]
 
>You both grow silent for a moment as these words sink in.
>Twilight recovers before you do.
>”I’m going back to Spike, so I’ll send this letter to Princess Celestia promptly.”
“...A-alright.”
[You give Twilight Letter to M.]
>”I’ll be going now, got a lot of things to do!”
>With a final goodbye, Twilight’s body radiates with violet power as she disappears, returning to her own mission.
>You turn back around to the party.
>”What did it say, Anon?”
“Those thugs got blackmailed by someone called DF, probably initials… He called a Mr. Gear a financial ally.”
>The silence that follows is very potent.
>When it is broken, it’s Redheart’s words that do so.
>”...It couldn’t be him, could it?”
“I hope not.”
>Deciding to put the issue in the back of your mind for now, you look over at Gable and Five.
“With everything we’ve gone through I've fallen down or been knocked over more times than I can count. Since you two can fly, got any techniques you can show me to not land so hard?”
>Gable shrugs after a moment of thinking.
>”I usually use my wings to slow down my descent. Tuck and roll, bonehead.”
>Five says nothing, Gable’s words being the sum of what she would.
>Whoa, when did Five put her disguise back up?
>You sort of missed that white fur and red mane.
“Alright, thanks for the tip…”
>You and your party begin to make small talk as you await for the carriages, so you decide to have a bit of a chat with Steam Pocket, still resting from the traumatizing incident.
>He spots you before you’re able to speak.
>”Anon? Where did you go before, taking a joyride on my train?”
“I got kicked off the top by one of the thugs.”
>”... Nevermind then. Hope you’re alright?”
“I’m fine. Lucky we met once before or I wouldn’t have realized something was up when I didn't see you.”
>”What do you mean, son?”
“Well, you’re the conductor, and if you weren’t the one answering the door, wouldn’t that be a bit suspicious?”
>He laughs a bit.
>”There’s many more conductors than just me, doctor. I actually wasn’t even scheduled to be on this train, but Wrenchworth decided to call in sick, that lazy sack of rocks.”
>Oh, that makes sense.
“So are you driving this train as well?”
>He gives you another look of disdain.
>”What train? I’m gettin’ on a carriage back home, the trains are out of commission.”
>That makes sense, too.
“By the way, how long is it gonna take them to get out here?”
>”From how far out the station is from the Ghastly Gorge Mine, I’d say two to three hours. Long wait.”
>You’re currently waiting for the carriage back to Appleoosa.
>It is currently 1:00 A.M.
>What would you like to do?
