CLUNK!!

"Ow!" Shrieked Sky Fire as she crashed into a large metal sign at the side of the road we were walking on.

"Hahaha, nice going Rainbow Crash" Mocked Zyon as he watched our pegasus friend face plant into the sign saying "Welcome to Pondale" and comically start to slide down it.

I found it hard not to giggle at the sight but I used all my will power to keep the giggle fit down. We had made it, Pondale, the town at the foot of Pondale Mountain that houses my old Stable and the airport where I spent most of my early life as a Ranger.

"Ugh, how many times, I'm not Rainbow Dash" Sky Fire almost screamed at the our zony friend who just laughed louder. She moaned as he laughed and landed on the opposite side of me and rubbed her rust smeared face with a black fabric covered hoof.

We had learned of where Sky Fire had come from since she has joined us after nearly breaking Zyon's ribs after she crashed into him a little while ago. She didn't remember much but she told us she remembered waking up in Stable 108 and I unfortunately had to break the news to her that she's a clone. I knew what sort of place 108 was and had to tell her. I also knew of how to tell if your a clone or not from 108 as it was programed to put a white dot under the left lower eyelid so it was possible to tell what was a clone or not and unfortunately for Sky Fire, she had a dot under her eyelid too. We had a Stable-Tec computer in our Ranger base that listed some stables and their purposes when I was last at the base.

"For being a clone of the Ministry Mare of Awesome, she's not a good flyer" Zyon mocked finding it hard to not laugh at his own comment.

"Let's see how well you fly after being alive for a couple of weeks" she moaned, she was using that as her excuse at not being a good flyer now.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever"

"Alright you two can it" I moaned, getting annoyed now at their constant arguing. "We made it to Pondale guys, keep quiet or we might get caught"

"Speaking of which, shouldn't we have seen a patrol at least by now?" Zyon asked as he bent back his head to pull something from his right flank satchel. When he pulled his head back he was holding a pair of binoculars to his eyes with an extendable mouth grip. He started to scan the town for any signs of Steel Ranger activity.

"Actually, yes, we should have at least had to avoid two patrols by now" I agreed as I activated my scope system in my visor doing the same.

Sky Fire stood there, not sure what to do since she didn't have anything for long range observation.

"I don't see a single Ranger" I muttered to myself out loud as I started to pan my scope towards the north of the old ruined town. Most of the town was basically intact, it was lucky enough to not get a direct hit from a balefire bomb but the old town has been falling apart due to the elements and old age. Many of its buildings were crumbling apart while some of the more sturdier buildings like the town hall remained largely intact with most of their features.

My scope fell onto the airport, the Steel Ranger base in this region and I couldn't believe my eyes. I saw plumes of smoke rising from numerous fires and plenty of wreckage that I remembered was not there before hoof. Clearly the result of a battle.

"Something's not right" I said as I kept my gaze on the airport.

"What's wrong?" Sky Fire asked as she flared her grey wings getting ready to take to the air.
