Chapters Spike putted his things in his bag. He then looked over his back. "Pictures of friends, check. Scrolls and materials for writing, check. Food and drinks, check. Knife, check. M16..." Spike said, as he looked around. He lifted one of his pillows, and pulled out his weapon. "Double check. Now, all I need to do is talk to my friends."
Spike looked downstairs, and picked up his bag. He then quietly went downstairs. Spike looked and saw Twilight reading a book on the couch. He quietly set down his bag, held his wings against his back, and started to crawl towards the couch. He stopped behind it, looked to see if Twilight was still there. He then put his claws over, and started tickling the unsuspecting victim.
Twilight started laughing, feeling the wrath of Spike's tickling. He smiled, but was unprepared for when the mare grabbed his hand, pulled him over, and started tickling him.
"No fair Twi! You pulled me over with your hands, and I didn't even know!" Spike said, calming down.
"Well, you deserved it, you scared me half to death. Really guess the military take's good people and turns them into soldiers." Twilight said, giggling. "How's the wing spell I taught you?"
Spike's wings poofed out of existence, and he growled. "At least I know how to make them. And, I know how to make my tail grow into my body." Spike was about as tall as his sister, his spikes being a bit longer, his teeth getting a bit of a sharp edge to them, and his snout was a bit longer, not much though. He looked like a taller version of himself, only, not pudgy.
"Wow, nice one Spike. Your growing up so fast Spike..... One day, you were sucking on your tail, not being able to talk, and now, you're going back from your vacation to be in the military." Twilight said, sniffling. She then got misty eyes, and Spike hugged her.
"Don't worry Twi, I'll be back soon. It's just a couple of missions taking care of resistance, nothing to it."
Twilight then smiled towards him, hugging him.
"You're still the sarcastic little drake you were Spike." Twilight said, giggling.
Spike smiled, got up, grabbed his bag and headed towards the door.
"Don't worry Twi, I'll be back before you can say-" Spike started to say, but a pink blur crashed into him, and sent him flying back near Twilight. He looked down to see Pinkie, crying comically, rubbing her face into his chest, which caused him to blush.
"Spikey, please don't go! At least let me throw you a party before you go!" Pinkie said, then put her face into his chest again, her bussom rubbing a certain part of his anatomy.
"Sorry Pinkie, I have to go soon. Don't worry though, when I come back, we can have a welcome home party." Spike promised, messing with Pinkie's unkept mane.
She sniffled, but smiled. "You better come home then Spike, or I'll come find you and drag you back here for a party!"
"I'm looking forward to it." Spike said, smiling as she got off. He got up, dusted himself off, and looked at Pinkie. "You didn't come alone, did you?"
Pinkie shook her head, and Spike groaned.
"Rainbow, come down from there, I know you're there...." Spike said, feeling a rush of wind near him. He looked up to see Rainbow Dash with a water balloon in her hands, flying in the air. Spike yawned, and spewed fire at the balloon, making the balloon pop and splatter water all over RD's clothes, revealing certain things from her shirt.
Spike blushed, and Twilight quickly used a dry spell, drying Rainbow's shirt so Spike couldn't see anything more. "Geez, Twilight.... Spike is supposed to know about a mare by now!" Rainbow teased, smiling at Spike's blushing face.
Twilight glared at Rainbow, and looked at Spike. "You alright?"
Spike simply nodded, trying to get the images out of his head, failing at it.
AppleJack came in, looked at Spike's bag, then looked at Spike's blushing face, only to look at Rainbow, and the popped balloon in Rainbow Dash's hands. "Spike, yah'll didn't see anythang you weren't supposed ta now, did ya?" AJ asked, looking at Spike again.
Spike looked back at AJ, still blushing.
"You did... Ah don't suppose you're marefriend would like that, now would she? You're lucky she doesn't buck you in a certain place, so you'd have to call yourself a girl." AJ said, steamed at him, and hugging him anyway, kissing him on the cheek, making him smile.
"Well, you make sure this certain drake doesn't get stolen by another mare Applejack. He's innocent, but that doesn't mean mares don't want him." Twilight said, giggling at Spike's face.
"Ah'll make sure he doesn't get stolen. He's mine anyway, anyone saying otherwise will get a buck in their private area." AJ said, hugging Spike in a death grip, making him smile at his marefriend's antics. "And, when ya come home from your mission, Ah've got a special treat for ya." AJ said, smiling as she kissed him.
Rarity entered, seeing AJ kissing Spike made her smile. "Am I interrupting something?" She asked, hugging Spike.
Spike blushed, realizing AJ's breast was pressed against him tightly, along with Rarity's as well. "Not at all, but, it would help if you guys stopped hugging me, I can barely breath!" Spike said, making the mares blush and back off.
"Wait, where's Fluttershy?" Spike asked, looking around. The door opened, and a certain yellow Pegasus entered, smiling. She was holding her hands behind her back, smiling at Spike.
"Hi Spike.... I'm going to miss you while you're gone." Fluttershy said, in her usual timid voice. She went up and hugged Spike, which he returned, patting her back.
"I'm going to miss you guys. I'll make sure to write, and make sure I don't get killed while I'm out there. But, it won't be easy without you guys." Spike said, smiling. He earned a couple of awwwww's and got in a group hug. He heard something outside, and smiled. "There's my ride."
Spike got out of the group hug, kissing AJ, which made her blush. He then went outside to see a helicopter waiting for him. The pilot saluted, and Spike saluted back, smiling. He looked in to see a couple of marines in the helicopter already, one he knew of already, smiling at him.
Spike got in, standing up, and turned around to see his friends waving goodbye to him. "I'LL BE BACK SOON!!" Spike yelled over the chopper's blades. He then gave the signal to lift off, and the pilot nodded towards him. Spike saluted, which earned a tipping of the hat from AJ.
The helicopter then rose up, and started to head off. Spike sat down, high fiving a soldier. "Good to see you fighting with me again, Discord." Spike said, smiling warmly to the god of chaos in front of him.
"Well, you know me Spike, couldn't resist causing some chaos with you." Discord said, shrugging and smiling back at him.
"It'll be good to know I'll have a friend fighting with me." Spike said, looking back at Ponyville.
Discord chuckled, looking back at Ponyville with Spike "Same here my drake. Same here...."
Author's Note
By the way, this story is going to be Anthro, don't pout. This is my second story, hope you like it. No one put a Crysis story on here, and I'd like to be the first. One, unless, I'm not, then, congrats to whoever made the first. Prophet out.
Spike and Discord's briefing
Spike was sleeping in his bunk, only to wake up to the sound of laughing. He got up, and checked his watch. "It's seven a.m. in the morning. I got four hours of sleep. Just great." Spike muttered, getting up, and climbing down from his bunk.
He looked around to see some of the soldiers were still sleeping, but, Discord was missing. "Where did the god of chaos go to?" Spike asked himself, getting his gear ready. He walked out, dressed, and went to the mess hall.
"Spike and I are best buds. It's true, no joke." Discord said, talking to three other soldiers.
"Good to see your up Spike, this 'Discord' guy tells us he's known you for a long time, and you and him are best buds. Is that true?" One soldier said, a sargent by the looks of him.
"It's true. He may be the God of chaos, but he doesn't lie much. Unless you're a hot mare." Spike joked, earning a playful punch on the shoulder by Discord.
"Good to see your up. I thought you died last night in bed." Discord teased, earning a sleepy smile by Spike.
"If it meant I get to sleep for as long as I wanted, then yes, I did die this morning." Spike said, yawning as he grabbed his food. He sat down next to Discord, and the rest of the group started talking. Spike dozed off for a bit, until the speakers went off.
"Charlie company, report to briefing." The speakers blared, waking Spike up, and sending him to stand up.
Discord smiled, and patted Spike's back to calm him down. "See, I told you Spike is a soldier, inside and out."
Spike slugged him on the shoulder, which made Discord chuckle. They headed towards briefing. When they arrived, a Griffon was there. Spike stared wide eyed at her, growling a bit.
"Say, you, dragon boy, you seem familiar." The female griffon said, which made Spike salute.
"Spike, ma'am."
"Ah, yes, you were that librarian's assistant, the element of magic. Been a long time, scales. Tell me, how's Dash doing?" Gilda asked, looking at Spike.
"The same one, and it's Spike. Rainbow is doing fine, thanks for asking."
"ATTENTION!" One of the soldier's yelled, making the soldiers and Gilda salute.
A mare walked in, looking at all of them. "At ease." She said, then, all of them stopped saluting.
"At 0800 hours last week, Manehatten stopped communication towards the rest of the cities. Drones show that the city is practically deserted, no ponies, no griffons, nothing. They have reported strange bio mechanical disturbances over the past week. Your mission, go to Manehatten by submarine, try to rescue these guys named 'Psyco and Prophet'. Your mission will start at 0300 in two days. Get well rested, and eat well. Because in two days, all Tartarus is going to break loose. That is all." The mare explained, pointing to areas on a map of Manehatten.
Discord and Spike were heading towards their bunks. "Can you believe how hot she was?" Discord asked, looking at Spike.
"I was trying to pay attention to the briefing, not her boobs." Spike replied, sitting on the top bunk.
"Well, that's because you have a girl back home waiting for you, Spike. At least try to live it up for once." Discord said, lying down in his bunk.
"We have a busy day in two days. Just, try not to mess up on it like last time." Spike said, chuckling.
Wow. I mean...just...wow. I mean, I'm getting so many fav notices, and people are viewing this already. I mean, just, this is amazing. I'm not the best writer or thinker, but, still, I'm surprised really. This is my second story so far. My other was a okay one, but this one is doing so great in such a short amount of time. I mean, thanks, guys, really. This is probably going to be a great story, I can tell, but, I don't have a editor, and I need a few helpful tips and such. But, thanks for all the likes and favs, really, and, I would like to thank my inspiration. Mallajong1, Vexy, MCwish, uhmmm... and a few others, but still, it's those guys that I'd like to thank for inspirating this story to me. Thanks to all of you reading, and I'll post a chapter soon, but, really, if it weren't for you guys, I'd probably be stuck with my one story. Thank you guys. And that's it. Prophet is out!!!!
Spike woke up groggily, sitting up and rubbing his head. "Aw, it feels like a train hit me this morning." Spike complained, grabbing his throbbing head. He got up, seeing Discord heading out, and smiled. "Well, better get ready." Spike said, putting his shirt and boots on. He grabbed his M16 and slung it over his shoulder. He checked his watch. "Twelve thirty. Good, only two and a half hours til we get there." Spike said, feeling the lurch of the submarine.
"Spike, we have to head towards the-" Discord started, but Spike held his hand up, stopping him.
"Got the message."
"Well, since you are draconian, I thought you wanted to be lazy and stay asleep. We'll be there in two hours or so. We'll meet up at the bridge, then at the end of the submarine to get ready for the mission." Discord said, walking ahead.
Spike then started walking towards the bridge, and noticed a lot of the crew was there aswell. Spike smiled, going up to the captain. He saluted, earning a smile from the captain.
"At ease son. There's no need for formality here." The mare said, smiling at the young drake before her.
"Sorry, the military tells us to salute in the presence of a officer." Spike said, giving a dagger tooth grin.
"Well, they taught you well, Spike. Anyway, we're supposed to get you to the location, drop you and your team off, then, we fall back. I may be a old mare, but you'll find I'm not to be messed with, even at my home." The captain said, smiling at the drake, then started to order the crew.
A few mares gave Spike the bedroom look, which made him blush. The captain noticed this, and ordered the mares to their posts. Spike smiled at her.
"Good thing your the captain, or else my marefriend back home would kill me for doing anything that she didn't like." Spike said, smiling. The captain nodded, and walked towards her post.
"Looks likes the little dragon has a few admirers." Discord teased, only to earn a glare from Spike.
"Shut up." Spike growled, walking away.
0250 hours
Spike sat down, Discord sitting next to him. Suddenly, a crew member came back, and smiled.
"Alright. You know your mission, but, incase you forgot, I'm going to fill you in. Your mission is to search the city for two guys named Phsyco and Prophet. They are humans, and they are dangerous to people who endanger Equestria. You'll know them when you see them. You'll leave in five minutes, up the hatch, and out. We'll be going back to a nearby dock that doesn't have any reports of enemies, meaning; you're on your own. There have been reports of humans in weird bio hazard suits attacking these two people, they are named CELL. These humans will attack you, so you will have to attack them. All of these suited people are male, so, you will be able to fight. Good luck. You're going to need it." The stallion said, exiting.
Spike and Discord went up the hatch, and out. The rest of the squad jumped in the water with them. Soon, the submarine was long gone, but, a weird orange light was under them. The water shook, and a weird ship came out of the water. It then aimed it's guns at Spike, but Discord was no where to be found. It started to fire at them, the rest of the squad dying as the plasma went into their bodies, burning or killing them on the spot. Spike got hit a few times, and started to drift towards the shore. He heard the firing of a minigun, and looked where the sound was coming from. There was a suit man, holding a minigun, firing at the ship. The ship then got damaged, and flew away. The man threw down his weapon, and looked at Spike, noticing he was still breathing.
"What happened to our search and rescue party?" The armored man asked, kneeling down next to Spike. "Did the Ceph take you all out? Some help the military was." The man asked, then he chuckled. "Spike, is that your name? Spike...Destiny's a bitch, huh? It'll be on you now son." The man then started to drag Spike off. "You're going to be my last hope. Phsyco's last chance. Last chance for all of us." The man said, still dragging Spike away from the corpses that was Spike's squad.
Spike opened his eyes, only for the sunlight to invade and cause him to close them. He blinked a few times, and looked at his arm. It was armored, which made him sit up.
He looked around; he was in some sort of warehouse. He looked to his right to sigh sadly, and walk over to a dead body. It showed a man, with white clothes on. spike picked up the gun, and groaned as memories flooded back in his head.
"It'll be on you now son." The man said, dragging Spike's body towards a warehouse. "Welcome to the future son, welcome to the war." He said, seeing Spike raise his right hand, and clench his hand into a fist. "I'm all used up. I'm..." Prophet began, but Spike looked at him.
"Contaminated." Spike said, seeing the man take off his helmet.
"Right, it's too late. I'm too fucked up. But you, you're what I need. They got inside. The ceph, they got inside." He said, helping Spike on a table. "Your my last chance for what I did. I came back, way too fucked up to help anyone but you son." The man said, smiling sadly.
"They call me Prophet." Prophet said, grabbing his M9. He put it against his head. "Remember me." Prophet said, then he shot himself, ending the memory.
Spike grabbed his throbbing head, and groaned again as the memory ended. He then took out the clip; it was empty. He growled, and put the clip back. He then opened the door to see dead bodies of scientists and stallions, mares, foals, even a few humans.
"Morning sunshine. I thought I lost you. Listen bud, Gould and I are stuck in his apartment, a couple of blocks away. You need to meet up with us there. Grab a car mate. And remember, CELL are stalking the streets, be careful." A austrailian accent said through Spike's COMMs.
Spike walked through another door, but it didn't budge. He stepped back, and kicked it, sending it off of it's hinges and hitting the opposite wall. Spike smiled at his new strength and armor. He walked out to see the stallions from his squad lying there, bullet holes in them. He sighed, and jumped off the building.
He hit the ground, the suit taking most of the impact easily. He walked towards one of the soldiers, grabbing the stallion's ammo and M16. Spike then reloaded, and walked towards a old base. He opened the door, but heard a voice. He looked around. Seeing no where to hide, he looked at the armor hoping it would turn invisible. luckily, it turned cloak on, making Spike invisible, and a human walked up, wearing strange clothes. He held a SCAR in his hands.
"Anyone there?" He asked, aiming around. He put two fingers up to his helmet, and Spike could hear talking. "Alright. Understood. I'm going back to post." The CELL soldier said, walking away. Spike the pulled out his military knife, and walked towards the CELL soldier. He quickly stabbed the knife in the man's throat, but put his hand on the front of the man's helmet so no one could hear the man die. The body slumped, and Spike dragged the bodies towards a shadow, making it barely visible.
"Now, all I have to do is find a car." Spike said for the first time on that day. He turned the cloak off, and walked out of the base. He smiled when he saw a car with a sign that said 'CELL' on the side. Spike walked up to it, opened the door, and got in.
He then started the vehicle, following the minimap on his hud, he started to head towards the location where he was supposed meet Psyco.
He started to drive towards the apartment, but then a CELL soldier fired at the car. The vehicle then turned, and started to flip until it crashed into a building.
Spike opened his eyes to see he was still in the drivers seat of the CELL truck he stole. He then noticed something; it was on it's side. Spike growled, and kicked off the driver's door. He then got up, and cracked his neck, sighing happily hearing the joints pop.
"Prophet---hurry up and meet us at---apartment twenty-----" The man said through the COMMs.
Spike jumped down, and walked out of the bulding he crashed into. He felt something drip on his armor, and looked up. "Looks like it's going to rain. Better get to that apartment fast." Spike said, as the rain turned into a down pour. Spike then turned on his nanovision, searching for enemies. Seeing none, he turned his nanovision off, and walked towards his destination.
"You over there. You, over there. We heard the tin man is coming into this sector. Do not let Prophet escape." A CELL sargent said, passing by a ally. Spike turned his cloak off, and looked around.
"Man, this Prophet guy must've done something to piss those guys off." Spike said to himself, walking towards a apartment. He stopped, and turned his cloak on, hearing something. He walked in, bringing his M9 out.
"Intel says two guys named Psyco and Gould are in here. Check out the building." A CELL operative said, watching as three of them nodded and ran off. Spike put a silencer on his weapon, and fired three times. One bullet hit the back of man's leg, the other his back, and the last aimed at his skull, making a silent kill. He reloaded, and walked up the stairs. Seeing another soldier, he turned his cloak off and ran up to him.
"What the hell-AGH!!!" The man said before Spike kicked his leg, sending it to bend the wrong way, making a sickening breaking sound. Spike then fired once, impacting the bullet through the man's helmet and into his skull.
Spike reloaded, and heard someone coming up the steps. He threw the pistol at the CELL soldier, picked up the dead one's pump shotgun, and fired at the other, killing him. Spike pumped it, and bent down to pick up ammo when he heard another noise. He quickly reloaded the shotgun, and aimed it at the elevator.
A man with the same suit as Spike came out, with a civilian human behind him. Psyco held his revolver at point blank range, but saw who it was and lowered his weapon. "Good to see you boss. CELL is crawling here. Looks like you took three out, judging by the blood on your armor." Psyco said, pointing to Spike's armor. Psyco then turned around, and said, "C'mon boss."
Spike followed without question, and lowered his weapon. The civilian pushed the button to the tenth floor, and the elevator went up. "Good to see you Prophet. Looks like those marines didn't make it. Such a shame. Anyway, we have to check your suit for any errors or Ceph sightings." Gould said, patting Spike on the shoulder.
They got out of the elevator, and walked into a door. Spike saw a weird, human sized chair, but, it had tech. "Sit down Prophet, we need to get to work." Gould said, as Spike complied. Gould checked up on his computer, but Spike stared at Psyco.
"What is it Proph?" Psyco asked, his austrailian accent familiar to Spike.
Spike looked at Gould as he found something. "Wait a second. You're not Prophet! Who are you? A spy?" Gould asked, making Psyco bring his revolver out and aim it at Spike's head. But then, a video showed on the screen, showing the flash back of what happened to Prophet. Gould sighed sadly after it was over, while Psyco just stared at the screen. "So, you must be special. Prophet doesn't pick anyone for the suit unless he trusts them completely. Guess, you just happen to be there at the right place and right time." Gould said, looking away sadly. "What's your name anyway?" Gould asked.
"Spike, my name is Spike." Spike said, getting up, smiling warmly.
Well. I've started this story almost a week ago, maybe more, and, I'm surprised it's doing so well in a short amount of time. I mean, other stories take months to get so popular, and it takes me days just to have more then twenty favorites notices. Thanks, really guys. I mean, I couldn't do it without all the support from my readers, and, really, I hope you keep on reading. My inspiration helped me with this story. I would like to thank those who helped me out with this story, no matter how small or big in their ways of helping. Without them, this story wouldn't have been made, and I'd be trying to think of a good story. I will be writing from time to time, no order, anything like that. So, if I don't post a story in a day or two, then it means that I'm hanging with my friends or family. But still, thanks guys, if it weren't for you, this story wouldn't have been made, and I'd be bored beyond comprehension. Prophet is out!!!!!!!!!
Spike was walking with Phsyco down the street, the day was uneventful, unless you count the morning. Spike looked at Phsyco, and Phsyco looked back. Phsyco then looked away, reloading his weapon and moving forward. "Don't you ever talk?" Spike asked, moving to cover, hearing voices.
"No." Phsyco said simply, firing at the CELL forces. He took down two of the four. Spike came out, firing at one of the soldiers. He killed one, then stabbed the other with a knife, causing the soldier to slump to the ground.
"Listen, if you have a problem with me, then be my guest, but at least talk about it." Spike said, reloading his weapon. Spike heard Phsyco sigh, and looked at him.
"It's not you, Spike. It's Prophet. Now that he's gone, who'll take down the Ceph? Who'll stop the CELL from reaching all over Equestria? I'm glad he picked you, but, Prophet was the best in our squad. I think with a little time, you could be too." Phsyco explained, looking away.
"Well, I could never be Prophet. But, I could be another friend." Spike said, patting Phsyco's shoulder. Prophet looked to his right, and turned his maximum armor on, Phsyco did the same.
"Tin man. Surrender, or be killed." A CELL helicopter came around, aiming it's weapons at Spike and Phsyco.
"Should we fight or run?" Spike asked, looking at Phsyco.
"Run, then fight." Phsyco said, running into another apartment.
Spike did the same, running up the stairs. Spike heard breaking glass behind him, that only made him run faster. Soon, he was on top of the apartment, and looked at Phsyco. They both heard voices behind them. "You take care of the soldiers, I take care of the chopper." Spike said, making Phsyco nod.
Phsyco disappeared through the door, only for Spike to hear screaming of soldiers dying and gunfire. Spike turned around, and jumped off the building. All Spike could hear was the thumping of his heart. He barely missed the helicopter's blade, it started it skim off the back of his armor.
Spike grabbed onto the front, punching into the glass, and grabbing his M16 out. He then started firing at the pilot, only for blood to splatter onto the glass, and for the pilot to slump to the seat. Spike put up the glass, threw out the corpse, and got in.
"Nothing to driving a chopper." Spike said, steering it towards the roof, where he heard shooting.
Phsyco was behind some ducts, bullets flying by, and a explosion went by behind the ducts. "Spike, you better get your sorry ass up here before I die." Phsyco said, firing his revolver at a CELL, making the side of the soldier's head explode, along with the helmet.
He reloaded, but heard something behind him. He looked to see some soldiers aiming at him, and a helicopter. But, the helicopter aimed at the CELL, going unnoticed by the soldiers, and fired at them with it's machinegun. One of the CELL looked back and started firing at Spike. Spike only smiled, and fired at him. When all of them died, he lowered himself, and smiled.
"Get to the chopper!" Spike yelled, and Phsyco started to run towards the helicopter. Phsyco jumped, and grabbed onto the edge. He started to slip, and almost fell off, but Spike grabbed him. "you're not dying without me saying so." Spike said, pulling him up.
"Thanks." Phsyco said, going to the front and heading towards Gould's apartment. "Problems with CELL. That's a big problem."
"You could say that again." Spike said, chuckling.
Spike was sleeping, his armor still on. Psyco walked next to Gould, and whispered something in his ear. Gould nodded, and looked at Spike, shaking his head sadly. But then, there was a knock on the door, causing Gould and Psyco to take cover. Spike just yawned, and walked to the door. Spike pulled his M9 out, and aimed it at the door. He looked through the hole, and saw one CELL soldier standing there.
Spike smiled, and fired at the door three times, only to hear a slumping noise on the other side. "They should know better than to wake me up." Spike said happily, yawning.
"Gould and I have some bad news for ya, Spike." Psyco said, looking out the door.
"I'm going to pay for shooting through that door?" Spike joked, taking his helmet off to drink a soda.
"No, CELL and Ceph are getting ready to head towards a town and a city. Canterlot and Ponyville." Psyco said, making Spike cough on his drink.
Spike put on his helmet and opened the door. "Well, Psyco, when are they getting there?"
"In three months." Psyco answered, making Spike look at him. "We'll be leaving in a few minutes. Gould will stay here with Alcatraz."
"Alcatraz? Who's Alcatraz?" Spike asked, then he heard a thump of a body behind him. He saw a CELL soldier slumped to the ground, right next to the one Spike killed. He looked to his left to see another suited man standing there with a SCAR in his hands. Spike smiled, looking at Alcatraz.
"I'm Alcatraz." Alcatraz said, looking at Spike.
---few minutes later---
Psyco was starting the helicopter up, and Spike manned the machinegun on the side. "Hope ya know how to shoot that thing Spike." Phsyco said, making Spike smile.
"I've been shooting enemies down before I met Prophet." Spike said, aiming around.
"We'll be at Ponyville in a few hours. Just hang tight." Psyco said, driving the helicopter towards it's location.
"Twi', are ya sure Spike's coming in a few minutes?" AJ asked, looking at the purple unicorn.
"I'm sure. He'll be here right about...Now." Twilight said, hearing the door open.
Twilight ran towards a suited man, and hugged him. "Spike, Welcome home!"
"Spike, ya know her?" The man asked in his austrailian accent, looking back at another suited man.
"Sure I do, I used to be her assistant afterall." Spike said, chuckling, seeing Twilight hugging the wrong person, and that person was Psyco.
Twilight blushed, then ran and hugged Spike. "Spike, it's good ta see ya hun." A familiar cowpony said, hugging him aswell.
"So, Spike, mind showing me around 'ere. Don't want to get lost." Psyco asked, looking at Spike, smiling warmly.
"Yeah, sure." Spike said, hugging the cowpony. He took off his helmet and kissed her lips. He then put on his helmet and started to show Phsyco around.
"AJ? AJ? You okay?" Twilight asked, looking at Applejack's blushing face.
"Yeah, Ah'm fine, he just looks so different now." AJ said, smiling.
"Well, we better tell everypony that Spike's back." Twilight said, walking out, AJ following.
"Spike, you are one lucky bastard." Psyco said, smiling at Spike.
"I know, it's not surprising." Spike said, patting Phsyco's shoulder.
"Ya think we should tell 'em?" Psyco asked, looking at Spike with a questioning look.
"Not yet, just let them have their fun, I know I will." Spike said, laughing as he went downstairs.
A metallic foot hit the ground of the cement. It let out a metallic roar, and walked forward, heading towards their enemies, a few other allies behind it. It stopped, and looked down to see CELL transports heading through the roads. It looked towards it's allies.
"Unit three and four are in position. Unit two are the eyes from the skies. We are unit one. We have to take down this squad of humans, their group is called CELL. Our alpha Ceph ordered us to attack them. We are unit one, that means we commence attack." The Ceph said, his black armor shone in the sunlight, the tendrils on his back not moving, while his eyes were red. He had a scar on his armor, on the right side of his helmet.
The other Ceph, about eight of them nodded. This made the Ceph commander smile. "Alright, when I give the signal, uncloak, and attack the enemies with your blades. Unit three and four will attack with weapons, while unit two will drop off assistance, or attack from the sky. Get into positions, let's move." The commander said, then he turned his cloak on, as did the other eight.
"I'm tellin' ya, these squid mother fuckers are everywhere in this city. I saw Charlie team get killed just by one of 'em big ones." One of the soldiers said, a row of vehicles behind the one he was riding in.
"Well, just be lucky your on convoy. This is probably the safest mission you'll get, unless your guarding Hardgreave. But, you'd have a better chance of freezing Hell over! Hahahahahaha!" The machine gunner said, laughing.
"Alright. Three, two, one. Go!" The commander said, charging out of his cover, turning his cloak off, jumping onto the first vehicle, and stab the driver through the helmet and skull.
"We're getting ambushed by Ceph! Need back up, need back-Aaaggghhh!" One soldier said, before getting stabbed by the commander's other blade.
Suddenly, plasma fir came out of nowhere, showing Ceph grunts jumping out of windows and doors, firing their weapons at the CELL convoy.
"Soldiers, fire at them. Don't let up!" A CELL soldier said, firing at one of the Ceph running at him.
Said Cephalopod got killed by the shotgun's blast, goop pouring out of the midsection of the armor, causing the Ceph stalker to let his body go limp. The Commander Ceph roared at the CELL soldier, and pushed him down. The man tried to get away, but the commander stepped on the soldier's skull, the metal leg going through the helmet, and crushing the poor man's skull
He turned around to see the soldiers firing at his comrades, there was only four of the eight that remained in his squad. A Ceph gunship flew by, but stopped and fired at the CELL. Soldiers started firing at the gunship, but the bullets flew harmlessly.
The commander smiled, and kicked a soldier's knee, causing it to bend and break backwards, causing a pained scream of agony to come out of the helmet. The commander picked up the handicapped CELL soldier, and put his weapon against the man's stomach. He started firing, killing the man, and threw him off the weapon.
A large tank rolled in, and aimed at the gunship, but two more gunships joined up, and fired at the soldiers, killing many of them. The tank fired at the first gunship, right as the gunship dropped the soldiers, but started to head towards the ground. It crashed, crushing CELL and Ceph alike under it's massive weight. The Ceph jumped on it and fired, as if nothing happened.
"Fall back! Fall back! AHHH!" A soldier ordered, then got killed by the commander stabbing the soldier's stomach.
"We are winning commander! We are winn-!" A Ceph grunt said, standing right next to the commander before getting grabbed by the throat by a unknown source, and stabbed multiple times, causing the Ceph's blood to splatter on the invisible force.
Alcatraz turned off his cloak, and let go of the Ceph grunt. The CELL soldiers got their weapons ready, aiming at Alcatraz. But then they ran by him and started to fire at the enemy. Alcatraz pulled his M9 pistol out and fired at the Ceph, making headshots. Alcatraz turn around and started running, turning his cloak on, turning invisible.
"The super human is gone! Fire at them!" The commander barked orders, causing the Ceph to follow them.
The battle lasted for three and a half hours. When the last CELL soldier was trying to crawl away, the commander picked up the soldier by the throat. His sword came out his right hand, then he stabbed the soldier multiple times in the stomach, then dropped him.
"That was the last. Inform the Alpha Ceph of this mission's success." The commander said to his messenger. He walked past the smaller Ceph, and turned his cloak on, disappearing to who knows where.
Alcatraz, on the roof of a nearby building was using his scope on his armor. He tagged the commander before he cloaked, and walked away.
"Gould, I got the Ceph you wanted tagged, and I got the samples, heading towards your apartment now." Alcatraz said, turning his cloak on, disappearing.
Author's Note
So, when I made this chapter, I wanted it to be the Ceph's point of view. You always wonder what the Ceph talk about in battle, or how they order, or what types of soldiers they use, so, blam, here ya go. Thank you readers for liking, faving, and reading this. Don't worry, this is just the beginning of the Ceph invasion. And, I did this because I was playing Creysis 2 earlier, for like the Thirtieth time. ((I've counted, and it's actually the thirty two times I've played)) So, thanks, all of you. see ya later.
Spike was sitting down, Psyco sitting right next to him. Spike looked at the door, counting down in his head. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Cue Pinkie. Spike thought as Pinkie rushed through the door, hugging Spike. Spike got up, hugging her back.
"Hiya Spike." Pinkie said, hugging him tighter.
"Pinkie. Can't...Breath!" Spike said as Pinkie started to hug harder.
Pinkie let go, blushing as Psyco started laughing.
"Where's RD?" Spike asked, then a rush of wind went by him. He just smiled as Psyco activated maximum armor to protect himself.
"You called...Shortstack?" RD asked, then she realized she was looking at Spike's chest. She looked up to see a helmet, Spike's helmet to be exact.
"Who you calling shortstack?" Spike asked teasingly.
"Woah. When did you grow so...big?" Rainbow asked, poking his chest.
"Well, ya'll better not steal him away. He's mine." AJ said, walking then, hugging Spike protectively.
"I say, Spikey, why are you wearing that armor anyway? It doesn't make the fashion statement of the year?" Rairity asked, walking in with her fire ruby necklace on.
"It's keeping him alive." Psyco said, walking next to Spike, and slugging him playfully on the shoulder. "He has damage on his spine, heart. Lungs are damaged, third fourth and sixth ribs are broken. Without the suit, he'd be dead in a matter of hours. but, the suit is growing and healing his wounds, so, he'll be able to take it off in a week or so."
Twilight walked in, hearing what he said. "Spike, is that true?"
Spike looked away. "Yeah. Without the suit, I'd be dead."
Fluttershy walked in behind Twilight, also hearing the news. "Well, at least you'll be able to take the suit off in a little while."
"Well, not exactly." Psyco said. "He won't be able to take it off, it just becomes a small part on Spike's scales."
"Oh my." Fluttershy said, hugging Spike.
"You guys want to see what the suit does?" Spike asked, making the group, except Psyco, nod. "Alright, this is called Cloak." Spike said, activating cloak. He turned invisible.
"Where'd he go?" Rainbow asked, only to giggle when she felt someone tickle her. "Pinkie, quit it!"
"I'm not tickling you." Pinkie said, infront of RD.
"Wait, if your not, then who is?"
Spike turned his cloak off behind RD. "Boo."
"AHH!"
Spike then walked infront of the group, and turned his maximum armor on. "This is maximum armor. Twilight, hit me with a burst of magic."
"But Spike, won't it hurt?" Twilight asked, only for Spike to give her the 'Just do it already' face. "Fine."
She fired a burst of magic, only for it to hit his armor, but he didn't move, or blink for that matter. "That blast could take down a Manticore. How did you get hit by it and not get flown back into the wall?"
"This armor can take a nuke." Spike said, smiling.
"Warning, threat detected." The suit's AI said, the AI sounded like Prophet.
Spike dodged a tackle from RD as she tried to sneak up on him. "How did you dodge that? I didn't make a sound."
Spike only smiled, tapping his helmet. He then activated nanovision. "This is what I call nanovision. It helps me see invisible enemies and it shows me the nanos in anything living." Spike explained, hen he turned his nanovision off.
"This is what I call maximum power." Spike said, the suit enhancing the muscle in his body. "Alright, someone throw something at me, and hard." A table flew at Spike, then he kicked at it, sending it back with cracks in it. "I could punch through a metal door with this on." Spike said, yawning as he turned off his maximum power.
"Wow." Everyone except Spike and Psyco said at the same time.
"Well, I think you girls better get going." Twilight said, hugging Spike.
Everyone said their goodbyes, and a kiss by Applejack.
"I'm tired, see ya later." Spike said, going up to his bedroom.
Spike reloaded his empty clip, then he put a fresh one in. Aimed down the sights of his sniper. "That little fucker won't get away this time." Spike said, smirking as he aimed at a Stallion.
Strange, said stallion didn't have a cutie mark on his flank. Spike put his trigger finger on the trigger, then fired. The bullet started to fly through the air, Spike's silencer quieting the sound. The bullet went through the pony's skull, killing him. Spike smirked, cocking his sniper as a bullet flew out of the chamber.
"Nice work son. You got that son of a bitch Changeling before he could infiltrate the town." A voice said through the COMMs.
"All in a days work." Spike replied, putting his sniper on his back. "I'm going home. If I stay out any longer, my marefriend will start to worry about me. See ya later sir."
"Alright, just a heads up; you have a new target. Her name is Trixie. You need to take her into custody. She'll be arriving into Ponyville tomorrow." The voice said.
"Alright sir." Spike said, walking away.
"Oh, and Spike."
"Hmmm?"
"Good to have you back."
"Good to be back sir." Spike said, smirking as he turned his cloak on, disappearing from sight.
Soon, Spike went home, putting his sniper rifle away, then headed towards his Marefriend's barn.
It then started raining while he was walking there, but, it didn't deter him the slightest. When he arrived, he knocked on the door, to see Big Mac standing there. "Hey Big Mac."
"Heya stranger. What brings ya to Sweet Apple barns?" Big Macintosh asked, looking at Spike.
"Mac, it's me, Spike." Spike said, unamused, but he didn't show it.
Spike took off his helmet to show his face, then put it back on. He looked behind Mac. "You going somewhere?"
"Eeyup. Gotta see mah family in Apploosa. Don't you fret none Spike, AJ is staying here to watch the barn. Granny Smith and Applebloom are coming with me. We're leaving tonight." Mac said, moving away to show AB and GS packed with him. "Ah'd reckon that we'd leave before it rained. Too late for that now. Anyway, we better get going before the rain get's worse. See ya later Spike." Mac said, then the three left.
Spike shrugged, then walked in. Strangely, his armor dried off quickly. He just thought that was something the armor could do. "AJ, you here?" Spike asked, going upstairs.
"Yeah Spike, just having trouble putting mah shirt on!" AJ said, then Spike could hear large crashes in her room. "Stupid shirt! Why don't ya fit?!"
Spike sighed, then leaned against the wall. "You could ask for help." Spike offered, only to hear a snort from the other side. "Fine, but remember, I'm stuck sleeping over with you, and I don't want to be in the hallway all night."
AJ opened the door to grumble a "Come in."
Spike went in, then looked at AJ. "Alright, what's wrong with your...shirt?" Spike said, looking at her, but noticed her D cup breasts were hanging out of the shirt. He blushed crimson, then looked at her eyes.
"What? It's not like your not going to see them sooner or later." AJ asked, a bit offended at what he did.
"Well, I didn't think it'd be this soon." Spike retorted, still blushing. "Now, what's wrong with your shirt?"
She then looked at her shirt, then smirked, thinking of something to tease her Drakefriend. "Well, could you help me button them up?" AJ asked, pressing her big boobs against him, causing him to blush even more.
"Alright, now your just screwing with me, aren't you?" Spike asked, struggling to keep his eyes locked with hers, only to fail at that many times.
"Ah don't know. Ya wanna be screwed?" AJ said, closing her eyes, looking smug. She then heard a large thud infront of her. She opened her eyes to see Spike on the floor, mumbling something. "Spike? Spike, ya alright?" AJ asked, poking Spike. "Ah think I broke him." AJ said, giggling as she buttoned her pajama shirt up.
"WAKE UP MARINE!" Spike's AI, Prophet, yelled in Spike's ear, causing him to yelp, then sit up.
"You don't give me a break, do ya?" Spike asked, the suit, shaking his head to get rid of the ringing noise.
"Who are ya talkin' to Spike?" AJ asked, looking at Spike from her bed.
"What happened?" Spike asked, getting up, trying to remember what happened.
"Ah was teasin' ya and ya ended up sleepin' on the floor. Ah thought it was funny." AJ said, then she burst out laughing, rolling on her bed.
"Very funny." Spike said annoyed at her.
"It was! Hahahahaha!!!!"
Spike then thought up a devious plan. He looked at AJ, then smirked. "Let's play hide n' seek. Me first." Spike said, turning his cloak on so AJ wouldn't see him.
"Say what now?" AJ asked, looking around for Spike. "When Ah find ya Spike..." AJ mumbled as she looked around. After a few minutes of searching, she looked under the bed.
Spike reappeared behind her, then poked her. "BOO!" Spike yelled, causing AJ to jump in the air.
"Spike, that wasn't fair!" AJ pouted, seeing Spike roll on the floor, laughing.
"Oh Celestia, that was funny. Hehehehe..." Spike said, calming down. He then heard something, then looked outside. "Hey, AJ?"
"Yeah Spike?"
"Do farms have humans on them?" Spike asked, bringing his M9 out.
"No, why are ya askin' me that silly question?" AJ asked, looking outside to see some CELL walking towards the house. Spike opened the window, then jumped out. "Spike, where're ya goin'?"
"These guys aren't supposed to be here. I'll make sure it stays that way." Spike said, then he turned his cloak on, disappearing.
"Search the area. Look for the Tin man, spies indicate he is in this town somewhere. We aren't coming here for three months, but, we have orders to check this area and wait until they arrive." The Sargent said, before a hand grabs his helmet, then drags him into the shadows.
"Understood sir." One of the soldiers said, not knowing the Sargent was gone.
Spike walked behind one of CELL lacking behind the group, then stabbed the poor man's neck, then he let go, letting the body drop to the ground.
"Two down, five to go." Spike said to himself, but, no one was around to hear him. He then started to walk with the group. He put a silencer on his pistol, then fired at one of the soldiers, killing the man easily. Spike then put his pistol away, climbed onto a tree, then silently air stomped on a victim, crushing the man's skull and helmet without making a sound.
"Shit. I don't see the others. Alright, you two, watch my back, private goes in the back, Lt in the middle, then me in the front." The soldier said, causing the other two to nod at him.
Spike then grabbed the one in the back, stabbing him in the skull, then dragged his body away. "And another one bites the dust." Spike said, smiling as he grabbed the second one, snapped the soldier's neck, then dragged his body away.
The last one looked around, seeing no one, he started to worry. "Where the fuck did everyone go? Shit, I didn't think they'd leave me by myself." The soldier said, before turning around to see Spike decloak. "FUCK!"
The CELL operative aimed his gun, but it was too late. Spike grabbed the man by his neck, then punch the man, hard, knocking him unconscious. "Shining Armor would love to hear this shit from you, asshole." Spike said, walking away with the man in tow, dragging him away.
AJ walked down to her front porch, then smiled as she saw Spike. Her smile turned into a frown when she saw who he was dragging on the ground. "The Royal guard should be imformed of the invasion." Spike said, nodding as he looked at AJ. "Oh, and I took care of your pest problem. They're now in the Everfree Forest." Spike said, smirking as he walked past her, heading towards Twilight's house.
Spike was sleeping in AJ's home, she was cuddling with him. Of course, he didn't mind, it was better than sleeping alone in AJ's house. Spike heard knocking. He growled, thinking about getting up, or going back to sleep. He chose the latter, then tried to fall in sleep's embrace again. The knocking got louder, making him get up, annoyed.
"I'm coming." Spike said, his helmet coming out of his armor, then covering his head. He got up, then walked out of AJ's room. "It's five o clock in the bloody mornin'. Who'd be knocking on doors on this hour?"
Spike opened the door, to only have his eyes widen of seeing reporters ask him questions, then blind him with their cameras.
"Hey, is it true your an alien invading us?"
"Tell us, why don't you take off the armor so we can see what you look like?"
"Are you getting mares pregnant with aliens, building an army, then taking over Equestria?"
Spike was flooded with questions, then he peered down at one of the reporters, startling her. He said one sentence. "Get the Hell off my lawn." This caused her to back up, a bit startled at what he said. He then straightened his posture, looking at the rest of them. Before anyone else could ask him questions, he slammed the door shut.
Applejack came downstairs, in her Apple pajamas. "Howdy there Spike. Who were ya talkin' to?" AJ asked, hugging the armored dragon.
He returned the hug. "Well, check out the window."
She looked at Spike, confused, then, she looked out the window to see some reporters waiting at the front door.
Bad luck smirked at AJ as a reporter looked at the window. He saw AJ, then pointed there, causing the others to take pictures, and run at the window, asking questions. AJ responded by closing the curtains, then glaring at Spike. "Why are there ponies on mah lawn trying to get in?"
"Well, it's not everyday you see a armored dragon walking around town. But, they wouldn't know I'm a dragon because my tail is in my body thanks to a spell I can turn off or on anytime I want." Spike explained, making AJ have a unamused face. "What, I told them to get off your lawn?" Spike asked, making her still have that face.
"Well, how're going to get out and go help Twi' then?" AJ asked the dragon.
"Well, since I have my armor, then that won't be a problem." Spike said, turning his cloak on.
"Yeah, that's handy, but how are they going to get away from mah house if they think you're still in here?" AJ asked, watching Spike uncloak, then looked at her, smiling. She couldn't tell he was smiling, but, she new her drakefriend well enough to know he was thinking something up. "Well, Ah should be going to Twi's house anyway. And your taking me."
Spike smiled, then whispered the plan in her ear. She burst out laughing, then looked at him. "That's funny Spike. Ah thought you were serious for a second!" AJ said, then she wiped a tear away. "Now, tell me the plan. That joke was funny, and Ah do appreciate it, but, now is not the time for jokes." AJ said, smiling. Her smile turned into a frown, seeing Spike wasn't laughing. "You weren't joking, were you?" Spike shook his head. "Well, get it over with." AJ said, making a yelp come out when Spike picked her up, bridal style.
"You might want to hang onto something." Spike warned as he jumped out the open window in the kitchen. He closed the window, then, started running, his armor making him go fast.
"There he is! Get him!"
Spike smiled as he sprinted by with ease, the reporters trying to keep up, becoming tired or falling down. "That was easy." Spike said, smirking.
"Well, they'll be looking for ya later, Spike. Ah'll have to keep you away from them until then." AJ said, cuddling up to him, then kissing his cheek...well, where his cheek would be if his helmet weren't there. Spike blushed, but, he still was running.
A few minutes later, they arrived at the library. "That was close." Spike said, panting a bit as he set AJ down. He then heard a shout behind him, making him grimace. "Shit."
"There he is!"
"Get in!" Spike yelled, opening the door, pushing AJ in. He then went in after, right as a mare tried to tackle him to the ground. He closed the door, then locked it.
"What in Tartarus is going on?" Twilight asked, seeing them come in, a bit disappointed she was torn away from her book.
"Well, we got chased by reporters half way cross town. Almost lost them, found us again, then, we started running, again. Long story short, we came here, then went in here before the reporters could catch us. In short, the usual." Spike said, chuckling as he heard the reporters leave. "Oh, and there's one thing I want to say before we talk about anything else."
"What's that?" Twilight and AJ said at the same time.
"Awesome dragon and hot mare, twelve. Bloody reporters, zero." Spike said, laughing as AJ chuckled, hugging him.
Spike was sitting down on the soft grass, watching the sunset. He was a fighter, but, he enjoyed peaceful moments like this. He smiled, his helmet was retracted into his armor hours ago. Spike then noticed something; he wasn't alone. He exhaled some green fire, the flames disappearing into the air, knowing he was about to talk to a old friend.
"I knew you were alive. Just didn't expect you to be here, peace and quiet, instead of battlefield, where you're at home." A familiar voice said, smirking.
"Well, as I thought I'd have some peace a quiet. But, now, I think I'd have a better chance trying to freeze Hell." Spike said, chuckling as he stood up. "Good to see you again Discord. How've you been?"
"Well, got shot at by humans, aliens, and other things. I'd say that I've been better. Still not the worst." Discord said, holding out a fist.
Spike bumped his fist against the god of chaos' fist. "Well, I just hope that your ready to fight in two months and three weeks. We have a shit load of an invasion going to Canterlot." Spike said, smiling. Then, his helmet came out, covering his head.
"Well, you know I can't pass up a window for Chaos." Discord said, smiling at Spike. "Like the new look too. It even gives Chaos a whole new meaning."
"Well, it's keeping me alive, and, it's helping me be a badass. So, yeah, this is some Chaos I wouldn't want to piss off in a fight." Spike said, shrugging as he walked towards the Library.
"So, let me guess, a human gave it to you. You also came from Manehatten to kick some ass, and to relax?" Discord guessed, looking at Spike.
"Your correct, my amigo." Spike said, nodding as they walked through the streets.
"Shit, Spike, you get all the flank, don't you?" Discord asked, seeing some mares give him the bedroom look.
"Well, it's a blessing and a curse to be hot like me. I've even caught Twilight staring at me." Spike said, looking at Discord.
"Well, at least you have a mare protecting you. I'm pretty sure one of these mares would ravage you in an ally way if they had the chance." Discord said, chuckling.
Spike stopped, then looked around. He heard a familiar metal foot hit the pavement. He growled, took out his SCAR, then aimed it behind him. Everyone knew if Spike took out a weapon, that meant hide. The streets were deserted, not a single Pony in sight. Discord pulled out his M16, aiming down the sights, only to stare wide eyed at the alien invader in the middle of the street.
"What in the Hell is that?" Discord asked Spike, but only to hear a metallic roar, and two more appear, their cloaks deactivating so they could fight.
"These damn squid motherfuckers are everywhere. By the way, they're called Ceph." Spike said, aiming his weapon at the leader's head.
Discord then looked at Spike, realizing they were targeting Spike. "Why does it always have to be him?" Discord asked himself.
"Well, rodents, it seems we have found you." The leader spoke, surprising everyone hearing except Spike. "It seems you, humans, and every living creature are living on our home planet. You fucking dirty rats, cowering beneath us, begging for mercy. But, instead, we give you a quick death." The leader said, making the stealth Ceph to his right and left laugh at them.
"Last time I checked, you mother fuckers weren't coming here for three months. Seems you bitches wanted your asses kicked even sooner." Spike retorted, making Discord chuckle.
"Filthy rodents. My kind should've killed your race and every other that would be a threat to us. But, they had lacked better sense. They were merciful, and left your kind on our home, thinking they were wrong to think you as a threat." The leader said, then he glared at Spike, his six red eyes peering down at the dragon.
"So, let me get this straight. Your ancestors wanted to keep us alive, to use us as cattle. Fucking assholes. They should've known better. Guess they didn't think I would evolve and kick all your asses." Spike said, then he fired his SCAR at the stealth Ceph, killing one with a headshot. The other had a sword come out of it's wrist, deflecting the shot easily.
Discord snuck behind that one, then he drove his military knife into it's neck, making the alien's body go limp. The leader fired his plasma weapon at the immortal, sending him into a wall.
Spike, knowing this was the perfect chance to strike, fired a round at the leader's leg, disabling him. "Rodent, it will take more than that to disable me." The leader said, then, he charged at Spike, kicked him, sending him to fly into a wall.
"Alright, knowing this armor is probably new, I'll have to aim at the weak parts." Spike said, getting up, then firing some rounds at the alien's armor, the bullets bouncing off harmlessly. He then fired at the alien's helmet, sending it flying, only to hit the ground, sitting there uselessly.
"Fuck! Fucking livestock, I'll kill all of them in this town after I'm finished with you!" The Ceph leader roared, then, he looked around, only to see air. Sike snuck up infront of him, kicking the other leg, sending the limb wrong way, making in useless. "Shit!"
Spike then decloaked, punching the alien's face. He then picked the alien up by grabbing his throat, sending the leader in the air. "You come to my town, my home, and you threaten not only me, but my friends and family. I'm pretty sure that if you ever come near here again, I will kill you the most horrible way possible, just to see you cry in pain and agony until I slit your throat so you can't talk anymore. But now, I won't kill you, oh no. I'm pretty sure Celestia would like to hear this shit from a fucking alien squid. Not only will you die slowly and painfully in the cruelest way possible, Celestia herself will watch you, battered and beaten, leave. Then, I will come after you, and your race." By now, Spike's eyes were glowing red, showing through his visor, scaring the crap out of the Ceph. "You piece of fucking shit should've invaded some other planet. Not only did you make the mistake of invading us, but, you pissed me off. Now, I'm going to say this as nicely as possible. GET THE HELL OFF MY PLANET!" Spike yelled, then, he punched the alien, sending him flying into a wall.
Discord was watching the entire thing, even seeing Spike's eyes turn red. They then turned to their normal color, emerald green. He walked up to the knocked out alien, standing over it. "Asshole should've stayed underground." Spike said, then, he walked away. Discord looked at Spike. "Someone should let the royal guard know of this. Discord, please let them know. I have to speak to some people about this."
Discord nodded, then, he teleported out, making Spike walk towards the Library. "Well, not only did I have a alien squad attack me, but, now I have to deal with the Elements of Harmony, and let them know a invasion is coming." Spike said, standing infront of the door. "Someone must be playing a fucking prank today. If they are, then, they must be laughing their asses off at the irony of the situation." Spike muttered, then, he entered the Library, preparing the shitstorm of chaos that was about to happen.
Spike then entered, but got yelled at by AJ and Twilight. Psyco, who was listening to some music and sharpening his knife in the corner, was bobbing his head quietly to the beat. Spike then got hit some books, but, they did no damage. He looked at RD and Pinkie Pie, RD snickering as she held a book, and readied to fire again. Spike simply took out his kukri, then threw it at the book, missing RD's hand by some inches, then impaling it into the wall.
Spike then got his kukri, seeing everyone in the room looking at him in shock, except Psyco, who was still listening to music. "Alright, listen up. There's a large alien outside that just tried to kill me. Anyone who pisses me off in the next ten minutes will look like that." Spike said, making them back away slightly. "Twi, go outside and study the squid fucker. I'm going to sleep. I've already had some shit to deal with, and I just want to rest."
Twilight nodded, then went outside. AJ looked at Spike, confused. Spike snorted, then he went upstairs. "Psyco, come with me, I've got to talk to you about something."
Psyco, still listening to music, gave Spike a nod. He then turned off his music, his helmet coming on over his head. He put his knife away, then followed Spike upstairs.
Spike closed the door, then sighed. "I got attacked by three aliens today. Where the Hell were you?" Spike asked Psyco, the soldier looking at the dragon.
"I was playing tic-tac-to with Pinkie. The girl lost three hundred games in a row against me. That, and Twi' was interested in my armor." Psyco said, shrugging.
"Well, that's just fucking great. I'm in a shitstorm of my life, and your playing gams while I'm getting my ass kicked by a seven foot alien who hates humanity and kills them for a living." Spike said, his helmet retracting into his armor. He rubbed his eyes, annoyed.
"Shit happens Spike. Look at me. I'm a fucking super soldier. Without my suit, I'd be dead meat. Fuck, Nomad, Jester, and Prophet were my only friends. Look what happened to Jester and Prophet. One day, their with me, the next, dead." Psyco said, patting Spike's shoulder. "At least you have friends, family, a life to live. What I got is more dangerous, but, at least that your happy to live."
Spike smiled, but then his helmet came back over his head when he heard multiple screams and plasma fire. "So, you ready to send ET back to his fucking home?" Spike asked Psyco, making the soldier laugh.
"If they invade my planet, they have to deal with me. And, let's see, millions of them versus a few of us. I feel sorry for the aliens." Psyco said, making Spike laugh.
Spike smiled, but Psyco handed him something; a railgun. Spike nodded, then headed downstairs, only to see Twilight back in, with the girls, trying to barricade the door. "Move out the way. They have plasma grenades. If that hits you, your dead!" Spike yelled, then, the door exploded, sending the girls back.
"You mother fucking aliens! Die fuckers die!" Spike yelled, firing his railgun at the Ceph, killing two. A Alien gunship then came into view. Psyco ripped out one of the alien's turrets, then, he started firing at the gunship.
"These fuckers just won't quit!" Psyco yelled over the plasma and machinegun fire.
"Good, just gives me more to vent my rage on. Fucking assholes come to my home, my family and friends, and attack them. THEY MUST DIE!" Spike yelled as he fired at the gunship, making it spin out of control, then land in the Everfree forest. Psyco started firing at the eight left, killing three of them easily, until a large Ceph knocked him down, trying to crush him. Spike dropped his railgun, then grabbed his kukri out. He ran towards the large one, jumping on it's back, then cutting it's neck until it's head fell off, killing it before it could crush Psyco.
"Thanks Spike." Psyco said, making Spike's eyes turn green.
Spike then ran at another, stabbing his knife into it's chest, then, he pulled his M9 pistol out, and fired at it's head, killing it. He then pulled his kukri out, and fired at another, killing it easily. He put his pistol away, then opened his helmet, burning the rest, killing them. He put his helmet back on, seeing one alive, he walked towards it. He stood infront of the Ceph, growling as he picked it up by the throat. "Guess you'll be meeting your version of Hell soon." Spike said, then, emerald green flames shot out of his helmet, burning the Ceph alive.
"Shit. Spike, it smells like burnin' Ceph out 'ere." Psyco complained.
"Well, I think I should explain to the others what happened." Spike said, seeing the mane six looking at the carnage. Twilight and AJ were glaring at him. He gulped.
"Spike. Say this one sentence, and all your problems will be solved." Psyco said, then he whispered in Spike's ear, making the dragon smile.
Spike walked over to Twilight. He looked all of them in the eye, and said, "I have one important thing to say. so listyen closely, because I'm only going to say this a couple times today..."
They waited for a full minute, until Spike got their hopes up.
"I like turtles." Spike said, then he walked into the Library, making RD and Pinkie start rolling on the ground, laughing. The others were confused at this.
Spike then walked away, while AJ stopped him. "Where ya'll think you're goin'?" AJ asked, looking at Spike.
"Gotta go to Canterlot. Psyco, your coming with me." Spike said, smiling as he moved to the helicopter, hidden near the barn. Once they got there, Spike looked at Psyco, smiling. They were talking about something, until Psyco stopped, making Spike stop.
"By the way, Spike."
"Yeah?"
"Shotgun." Psyco said, making Spike frown under his helmet.
"FUCK!" Spike yelled, knowing he lost at getting to pilot.
Author's Note
I will include the next ten people in the later chapters if they get that part at the end. And, I just edited for fun.
Well, everyone who is reading this may be my next characters in the story. So, I decided to let people post, and the first five people to post in the comments when this is published will be in later chapters. And, for those of you that are new to the story, let me just tell you that this story has probably been my biggest success out of all of them. I just want to say, thanks guys. Thanks to those people who kept me going on when I was out of ideas. Thanks to those people who kept reading and helpings. Thanks to those who inspired me to make this story. Hell, if it weren't for you guys, this story wouldn't be here. Thank you guys, it's you that keep this story alive. You guys are the blood of this story. You guys are important, even if you don't know that. Without you, this story wouldn't live. Thanks. Prophet's out.
People in later Chapters:
Psyco landed the CELL helicopter, the blades rotating for a few minutes until they stopped moving. Psyco climbed out, his shotgun in his hands as he turned the safety on. Spike followed after, his SCAR lowered, but, he was ready.
"All units! All units! Ceph are in the area. Please hold them off until we evacuate civilians. Hold them the fuck off! No! NO-AAGGUUUHHH!" A radio then filled with static.
"Well, what're we waitin' 'ere for? Let's kick some ass!" Psyco said, running ahead of Spike.
"Why the Hell would Ceph attack the capital of Equestria? It doesn't make sense." Spike asked, taking cover. Psyco followed. Both were aiming around until a sniper shot was fired. "Son of a bitch!"
Both of them took cover, Spike looked over to see some Marines. "Hold your fire. I said hold your fucking fire!" Spike yelled, but then, a familiar metallic roar was heard.
"Shit. The Ceph are here. These fucking squids just wanna piss me off." Spike said, firing at a Ceph grunt. It cried in agony until Psyco stabbed it's throat.
Spike ran up to a destroyed vehicle, he ripped the turret off, then, he aimed it towards the three Ceph. "I told you fucking assholes to get the fuck off my planet. Looks like I wasn't clear enough. ET, GO THE FUCK HOME!" SPike yelled, then he rained bullets at the Ceph, killing them easily. "C'mon bitches! I want you to fight me. Assholes invade my fucking home! Fight my fucking friends and family, and now, you attack my Mom and her city! NOW YOU DIE!"
"What the Tartarus are you guys standing around for? Let's help that dragon out!" The commander yelled, her voice scaring the soldiers, then sent them standing next to the destroyed vehicle, firing with Spike.
"C'mon sucka!" One of the soldier's yelled, his shotgun blasting a Ceph to pieces.
Spike's railgun then ran out of ammo, making the clicking sound.
CLICK! CLICK! CLICK!
"Assholes." Spike said, throwing the railgun on the ground. "They should know better than to piss me the fuck off."
Psyco reloaded, then started to head towards the castle, when all too familiar soldiers came infront of where they landed. Psyco and Spike aimed their weapons at the CELL, but, the CELL soldier saluted them.
"Sir, commander Alcatraz sent us. Hardgreave is dead, but, his last orders were to help you." The CELL soldier said.
Spike nodded. "Protect this city, make sure the Ceph do not get through. Call for back up aswell, we need to protect my Mom, Celestia." Spike ordered, his voice sounding mature, surprising Psyco.
"Yes sir." The CELL soldier nodded. He then turned to the twenty soldiers behind him. "Well, what the Hell are you dickwads standing around for? You heard him, get your fucking asses moving!"
"Sir, yes sir!" The soldiers yelled at the same time.
"I love the sound of soldier in the mornin'." Psyco said, chuckling.
Spike started to head towards the castle. "We have to find my Mom, Psyco, you get a group of thirty soldiers to set of defenses infront and back of the castle. Then,, grab five CELL soldiers to protect my Mom." Spike ordered.
Psyco did a mock salute. "Alright boys! We're going to have some fuckin' fun today! You, what's your name?"
"Karlos Ify, sir!" A CELL soldier said, saluting.
"You and your squad come with me. You heard Spike! Let's hurry the 'Ell up." Psyco ordered, making Karlos salute, then run with Psyco and Spike at the castle.
The Ceph leader stood there, seeing his troops being killed by these human and pony creatures. "They do not deserve to live on this world." The leader said, his eyes red, staring at Spike and Psyco. "Alert the Alpha Ceph. We shall have our revenge." The leader said, his sight not lifting from the blood mass below.
"Yes, sir." The Ceph grunt said, then, he disappeared.
"Karlos, where'd you get that minigun?" Vesa asked, his shotgun lowered, but ready.
"I just picked this up." Karlos said, his railgun ready.
"Quit the chatter." Spike said, entering the castle gates. "Alright, Psyco, you set up the defenses, you two come with me."
Karlos and Vesa nodded, running in with Spike. Soon, they heard gun fire. Spike then readied his SCAR. He went around the corner to see some Ceph firing at the Royal guard. Their weapons firing at each other. Spike jumped on a Ceph grunt, then, snapped it's neck, catching the attention of it's comrades. But then, a mingun fired, killing two Ceph, making holes in their armor and skin.
"Shining! Get your ass over here and help us out!" Spike yelled, catching his brother's attention.
Shining Armor then fired his weapon, getting a headshot on a Ceph grunt that was sneaking up on Spike.
"Open fire!" Shining yelled, then, bullets started to hit Ceph.
"Attack the ponies, forget the humans." One of the Ceph stealth ops said, then, his swords came out, and started to run towards a pony guard.
Spike then got his kukri out, and stabbed the Ceph in the neck, killing it. "Vesa, Karlos, make sure no Ceph come in."
"Yes sir!" They yelled in unison.
"Good to see you bro." Spike said, fist bumping with Shining Armor.
"Spike, when did you get that armor? It's totally kick ass." Shining asked, looking at his younger brother.
Spike sheathed his kukri, then smiled. "It's a long story. C'mon, we got to get to Celestia and inform her of the threat." Spike said, then, Karlos and Vesa started firing.
"Sir, incoming Ceph!" Vesa yelled, firing his shotgun, destroying a Ceph grunt easily as the bullets went through it's armor. "There's too many of 'em!"
"Alright. Call for back up. We'll retreat to the throne room!" Spike ordered, Karlos firing his minigun at the Ceph, sending body parts flying as he killed them.
Suddenly, a shotgun fired behind the Ceph, making the soldiers and super soldier turn to it's noise. "Did someone call for back up?" A familiar voice said, dropping a Ceph's body on the floor.
"Alcatraz, good to see you." Spike said, visibly relaxing.
"They call me...Prophet." 'Prophet' said, his shotgun firing then killing another enemy. "Now get your ass to the throne room, I'll take care of these bastards!" Prophet said, firing some more as plasma fired at him.
"Alright. Let's move. Shining, Vesa, Karlos, with me. The rest of you, stay with Prophet and take care of the threat. When this group of enemies are clear, move to the throne room." Spike ordered.
"Alright, 'sir'." Prophet said, nodding, then, he switched to his M16 and started firing as he stood right next to Spike. "Just make sure not to get killed."
Spike nodded, then, they ran off, to tell Celestia. When they were almost there, a Ceph leader stood in the hallway. "dirty scum. You shouldn't live on this world."
"Bitch, please." Spike said, making Shining Armor put a hand on his mouth to try to not laugh.
"Filthy vermin, you shall die!" The leader said, but then, Karlos fired his minigun at the leader. The leader then roared, try to tackle Karlos, until Vesa fired his shotgun at the leader, causing him to fall near a window. He got up, then looked at the two CELL soldiers.
"Shut the fuck up you alien bastard!" Karlos said, as both Karlos and Vesa kept firing until the leader fell out the window.
"Alright, let's move. I doubt he's dead." Spike said, then, they entered the throne room.
((So, I'm going to be gone for, three, maybe four weeks. And I thought that you guys deserve a long chapter. So, when I come back, you guys are going to have one Hell of a ride.))
Prophet and Spike shut the doors, Karlos and V watching the door with guns pointed at it. "Sons of bitches don't give up. I respect that." Spike said, looking at Prophet.
"Well, they should have a hard time getting through that." Prophet replied, chuckling.
"INCOMING!" Karlos yelled, pointing his railgun at the giant fireball heading towards Spike.
"Really, a fire ball?! The HELL!" Spike yelled, turning on his maximum armor. Then, it crashed through one of the window's, and hit the floor right infront of Spike and Prophet. A red like appendage lifted from it, then a large body. "Now, a giant fucking Ceph. The Princesses must be having some fun with me. Today is not my fucking day..."
The large then looked at Prophet, then at Spike, raising it's shield, to show a cannon.
"Now it has a FUCKIN' PLASMA CANNON!" Spike yelled, then his eyes turned red.
The Ceph then raised it's right arm aswell, the minigun like arm spinning as it got ready to fire. As it did this, the Ceph broke through the door, roaring mechanically as they spotted Spike and Prophet.
"GET SOME!" Karlos yelled as he fire his minigun at the Ceph grunts and stalkers, their lifeless bodies dropping on the floor, only to be replaced by comrades. "GET SOME! GET SOME! GET SOME! THAT'S RIGHT MOTHERFUCKERS, GET SOME!"
"I like that guy." Prophet said, then he got knocked away from Spike as the Ceph hit him with his shield arm.
It roared at Spike, then started to fire at him. "OW! OW! OW! THAT HURTS!" Spike complained as the plasma hit him, his maximum armor holding though. Spike roared, taking off his mask, then breathing emerald fire at the large Ceph, making it charred, but still alive. "Oh come on! That fire was over a hundred and sixty degrees." It only roared in response. "Well, if we talk about this, then maybe we could work something out."
Prophet got up, getting his M60 out. "Wrong move asshole." Prophet said, then he started to run at the large Ceph. He started to fire bullets at it, making it turn to him. "Spike, now's your chance, grab a grenade, and-!" Prophet began, but he was caught off as he activated maximum armor, blocking the explosion that left ringing in his ears.
Spike ran at the distracted Ceph, jumped on it's shield, then onto it's back. "HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY MOTHERFUCKER!" Spike yelled as he pulled the grenade's pin, and plunged it into the Ceph's armor. It hit him off, and roared, unknowing of the frag grenade that was in it's body. Spike put on his mask, then turned on his maximum armor. The Ceph exploded, pieces of it flying everywhere. "Exploding shit...LIKE A FUCKING BOSS!" Spike yelled, putting on some random sunglasses over his visor.
V and Karlos couldn't help but laugh as their boss's randomness. Prophet fired at the last Ceph grunt, killing it. Spike looked to the ground to see a squirming piece of the tentacle from the large Ceph, so, he stomped his foot on it once, making it twitch, then stop moving.
"Alright, place looks clear." V said, but then a plasma bullet hit the ground right next to him. Karlos, Spike, and Prophet looked at V. "The irony!" V yelled, turning around, then reloaded his Shotgun.
Suddenly, twelve Ceph grunts stood before them, aiming their weapons at the group.
"Well, we're fucked." Karlos said, chuckling sadly.
The machine that the large Ceph came out of, sent green vine like lines at Spike. Spike suddenly lifted his hands, more of the vine like lights hitting the Ceph. It did nothing for a few moments.
"Like you said, Karlos, we're fucked." V said.
Suddenly, the Ceph grunts lowered their weapons, their eyes turning green. They then started to bow at Spike, almost as if they were loyal to him.
"What's happening?" Spike asked Prophet.
"Well, the old Prophet told me that the Ceph follow a super Ceph, called the 'Alpha Ceph'. Looks like they think you're the Alpha Ceph." Prophet explained, looking at Spike.
"So, you're telling me, that I can control these things now?" Spike asked, only for Prophet to nod. "That's a fucking cool super power if you ask me."
The Ceph then stood up as they heard the clanking of metal, familiar to the soldiers. One of the Ceph looked at the rest, then said in a voice that sounded robotic, "Protect Spike. The others shall not stop him from his mission!"
Prophet, V, and Karlos then started to leave. Spike only smiled. "Thanks." The Ceph nodded, then ran off to help his comrades.
"How come he get's the fucking powers?" Karlos asked as they left, Spike catching up quickly.
Spike and Prophet stood back to back, three Ceph Pingers had surrounded them. Suddenly, a shotgun blasted, and one of the very damaged Pingers fell, its body going limp. Then, two explosions rung out, temporarily making the Post human/dragon warriors to becomes deaf.
When both of their ears cleared, Spike would look beyond the bodies of the Ceph, and the three large corpses of the Pingers to see six familiar faces.
"Well, fuck." Spike said, only to see Vesa and Karlos enter behind the familiar ponies.
"That's not how ya treat your marefriend!" A southern voice said, radiating with humor.
Prophet head shot another Ceph, causing it to fall to the ground, it's head blown off. "Boom motherfucker." Prophet said, reloading his SCAR.
Suddenly, Vesa started shoot a couple of rounds from his HAMMER, not caring if it caught attention.
Then, the Ceph started to surround them, metallic roars filling the room. But, there was only three of them, weren't there four?
"SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKERS! HOPE YOU LIKE THE FUCKING CARNAGE I'LL MAKE!" Karlos yelled, firing from above, his minigun easily taking on many of the squid invaders.
Vesa started to headshot the Ceph, in their confusion, while Spike and Prophet stood back to back, firing their SCARs at the Ceph.
"I'm out." Spike said, then, he started to reload when a Ceph Stalker jumped on top of Spike. It's three metallic fingers then would stab into Spike, trying to hack the systems.
"Warning! Password denied! Ceph DNA detected, Scanning, please wait...Scan complete. Ceph user trying to hack systems. Releasing antivirus." The suit AI, Spike's familiar friend, the old Prophet, said. Suddenly, a white substance would then travel up the Ceph's arm. It was confused at first, then, it started to roar in pain, stopping everyone in the room.
Then, its jelly like body exploded, covering its comrade in its blood. Spike smiled, then, the white substance started to show, like veins. He then touched two more of the Ceph. The first one exploded, showering gore on the second. While, the blood covered Ceph ran around, touching comrades, causing them to either explode or melt like water. Suddenly, the white substance went into Spike's suit, then, the suit started to turn red.
"Maximum power."
Spike then punched a Ceph Heavy, easily going through it's chest, then exploding out it's back. He then lifted the larger creature, and threw it, crushing three Ceph stalkers, and knocking another Ceph Heavy on the ground.
"I love this fucking armor!" Spike yelled, the red disappearing from view. He then heard glass breaking, and turned around, only to see four Ceph Pingers, their weapons aimed at him. "Son of a bitch!"
Suddenly, the fourth one let a EMP ((Electro magnetic pulse)) wave out, shutting down the systems for a few seconds. Spike then got up, Prophet stood up aswell. Karlos started firing at the one who let out a EMP, damaging it quickly, only for him and Vesa to be knocked out of the room.
The fourth one then would fire at Spike who disappeared. It then would look at Spike, who was cloaked, but did nothing. ((Why in Sam Hell do they do that in the game? Scares the shit out of me sometimes.))
Spike then jumped onto it's back, decloaking. The third Pinger saw this, then sent a plasma like grenade at Spike, who dodged, only for the grenade to land onto it's comrade's weak spot.
"Boom motherfucker!" Prophet yelled, seeing the Pinger explode, nothing but scrap metal falling to the floor.
"Good job. Now, what do we do about those three?" Spike asked, looking at the very large, three legged tank like beings infront of them.
Prophet then brought a grenade out, and threw it, distracting the large Ceph vehicles. Prophet then jumped onto the third one, firing his SCAR into the Pinger's other weak spot, where it's EMP would come out, causing it to throw him towards Spike. They both collided, and started to get up.
"Looks like our asses are about to be kicked by some fucking space invaders." Spike said, chuckling dryly.
Suddenly a shotgun blast was hear, and the third Pinger fell, it's body now a limp metal. The other two then turned to see what fired, only to explode.
"Well, fuck." Spike said, seeing the Mane 6 standing there.
"Guess that counts as a hello." RD said sarcastically, only to be smacked on the back of the head by Twilight.
"That's no way to treat your marefriend." AJ said, her southern voice sounding like music to Spike's ears.
"Sorry honey. I would've cleaned up before you got here. But, as you see, the boys had a rough night out." Spike said, sarcastically.
"What do we do now boss?" Vesa asked, aiming his HAMMER around, reloading.
The ground then started to shake, then, a metallic tower started to form, destroying one of the castle's gardens. It then stopped, staying there. The Ceph then started to go towards it, an army forming where the gardens were.
"I say we go towards that noise, find out what it is, then kick it's ass." Karlos said, spinning the barrels of his minigun.
"I second that motion. Any objections? No? Well, let's, go kick it's ass then!" Spike said, then looked around. He then started to run towards the Gardens, his 'Squad' following behind.
"That's right you alien fucker! Bring it." Vesa said firing at the Ceph Stalker, killing it easily with three shots. "Assholes just keep coming." Vesa grunted, reloading his HAMMER.
"That means we get to kick some more ass!" Spike said, stabbing a Ceph in the throat, killing it easily.
"Spike! Manners!" Rarity said, casting a shield over AJ, who was being attacked by Three Ceph grunts.
"Sorry to tell you miss, but we're in the middle of invasion fuckin' central. I don't think manners count for the Ceph who wants to take out every living thing that built a city in this world." Karlos said, firing his minigun, killing a Ceph Stalker who was sneaking up on Rarity.
Prophet just nodded in agreement, jumping off a wall, and pounding his fist into the floor, crushing a Ceph under him, and causing the other two to be killed by the shockwave.
"Thanks pardner." AJ said, tipping her hat at Prophet, who only nodded again.
"Spike watch out!" Twilight yelled, seeing a Ceph Heavy firing it's Railgun at Spike.
Spike, seeing the Ceph Heavy, turned his Maximum Armor on, causing the plasma to be useless or bounce back. "Can't hold off much longer!" Spike said through a pained grunt.
Prophet saw this, then ran at the Ceph heavy. The Ceph only knocked the Post Human warrior aside, and charged it's cannon. Spike saw this, and started to pray to Celestia that he'd make it. Prophet saw this aswell, and ran at the Ceph Heavy, jumping onto it's minigun arm, then climbing onto it's back.
This caused the Ceph to loose concentration and shoot to the ground next to Spike, causing him to crash into a wall. Prophet then brought his Frag grenade out, and shoved it into the back of the Ceph Heavy, his hand digging into it's jelly like skin, planting the grenade.
The Ceph Heavy then threw him off, and shook off the pain, only to explode in a shower of gore, it'd body parts flying uselessly to the ground. A tiny part of it's tentacle was moving, making Prophet squish it, killing the body part. Prophet looked at the Mane 6, seeing their eyes range from jealousy, disgust, and horror.
Prophet then looked at Spike's body, and ran towards him. He would then start to check Spike's vitals. His heart was going slower and slower.
"Spike, no..." Pinkie said, then, he hair would deflate, going straight. Tears started to well up in her eyes.
AJ tipped her hat over her eyes so the others wouldn't see the tears. Twilight was sobbing, along with Fluttershy and Rarity. Rainbow Dash was quietly crying, and Prophet lowered his head in respect. Vesa at Karlos stood there, lowering their heads in respect aswell.
-----Spike's Head-----
"Get up Marine! This is no time for dying, so get your ass up and get into the fight!" Prophet's voice yelled, waking Prophet, but, he was barely alive. "You are not dying! You're the last hope! Get the Hell up, and get your ass back into the fight, we're going for a walk in the park! So get the Hell up!"
-----Outside-----
Suddenly, electricity started to go throughout Spike's body, jump starting his nerves. His hand started to move, then formed into a fist.
"What in Sam's Hell..." Karlos said, then, electricity was visible as it started again, going into Spike's heart, starting in back up.
-----Spike-----
"Those people out there think you're dead. Don't give the enemies the satisfaction of thinking that too. These people loved, respected, Hell, some even went as far as seeing you as family. I won't let them think that you're a lost cause, a destroyer of Hope for all living things. Now get the HELL UP!" Prophet said, sending electricity again and again, jump starting Spike's systems.
-----Outside-----
Spike then opened his eyes, his heart now beating again. He groaned in pain. He hurt like Hell, but at least he was alive. He started to move his legs and arms, his joints popping now.
Prophet saw this, then chuckled, the noise also catching Vesa's and Karlos' attention, both smiling.
Spike then got off of the wall, a large dent in the marble where his body was. His body screamed for rest, but, he won't let the enemies get that satisfaction, not even himself. He then got up, growling in pain.
Pinkie's hair started to reflate as she saw Spike get up.
"So, what'd I miss?" Spike asked, scaring the group.
"Spike? Is that you?" AJ asked, looking at Spike.
"The one and only baby!" Spike said, sounding like a character from his favorite game, Gears of War. "So, who's ready to kick ET's ass?" Spike asked, bringing his SCAR out.
Rarity, Fluttershy and Twilight flinched, but nodded.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's kick some alien ASS!" Spike yelled, running towards the Gardens, the group following behind.
Vesa headshot another Ceph with his pistol, HAMMER, the Ceph's head popping like a piñata. "BOOM FUCKER!"
Prophet kicked a Ceph, grabbing it's plasma gun, and started firing at another, destroying it easily with the burning plasma. "They don't give much of a fight, do they?" Prophet asked Spike, who nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, some gunfire rung from a corner they were headed towards. Spike smiled as he saw who it was.
Discord stood there, firing two UZIs with TERMINATOR glasses on. Once he saw Spike, he looked at the UZIs, saying, "I vill be bach." Discord then walked towards Spike, giving the dragon a high five. "Good to see you kicking ass." Discord commented, then he saw the Mane six, along with two CELL soldiers and Prophet. He raised an eyebrow at Spike.
"Long story short. They followed me here. Those three, Vesa, Karlos, and Prophet, are part of my Badass team. The rest, just wanted to follow me here to check on my 'safety'." Spike explained quickly. "My job is always a hazard, they should know that by now. But, they're stubborn."
Discord nodded, then snapped his fingers. The UZIs appeared in his hands. He then turned around and started gunning the Ceph down, stopping them dead, literally and figuratively, in their tracks.
Vesa headshot a Ceph that was on the ceiling, it dropping to the floor next to Discord.
"I like him." Discord said, making Vesa smile.
"Karlos, give us covering fire with your minigun, you too Vesa." Spike ordered, the two CELL soldiers standing infront of the group, firing at Ceph.
"Reminds me of Aliens. Damn things coming out of nowhere, kill you or drag to who the Hell knows where. Ceph must be cousins of Xenomorphs, those Aliens always did give me the creeps." Karlos said, gunning down a Ceph Heavy easily.
"You and me both brother." Vesa said, firing his HAMMER into a Ceph's gun, causing it to explode.
"We should get moving, Ceph will surround us if we don't take out that tower." Prophet said, pointing outside.
"Well, I know a fun route. It's less guarded, but, there are still Ceph." Discord said, smiling deviously.
"Well, you heard the man, let's get our asses moving!" Spike said, smiling. Soon, the group started moving, Spike, Discord, Prophet, Vesa and Karlos gunning down any Ceph that got in their way.
"Remember our old team?" Discord asked, firing his UZIs at some Ceph.
"Yeah, the 'Gods of Chaos' , damn, those were good times." Spike said, chuckling.
"Well, I think that we are Gods of Chaos. Considering all the Chaos we're causing." Discord said, switching to his M16, firing at a unlucky Ceph Stalker.
"We're almost there, Boss." Karlos said to Spike.
Suddenly, a Ceph Pinger would show up, aiming at Karlos and Vesa. Twilight cast a shield around them, and AJ fired her shotgun at the Pinger's weak spot on it's back.
"Discord, help them out. Prophet, Karlos, Vesa, with me, we're going to the Gardens."
"Alright." Discord said, then, he turned the Pinger's legs into pillows, and it's guns into ice cream shooters. "Time for a shitstorm, my friends!" Discord yelled, firing at it.
"Spike, wait." AJ said.
Spike stopped, then turned around. AJ took off his mask, the kissed him. She then handed him a picture of the Mane 6 and Spike. Spike asked AJ is she wanted too date that day, it was memorable to everyone. It showed AJ giving Spike a kiss, in which he was smiling, but blushing, in the picture.
"Don't forget us. Promise me that." AJ said, then Spike hugged her.
"Trust me. I won't forget you guys. Not even you AJ. I promise that I won't forget." Spike said, making AJ's eyes well with tears.
"You forget us, and Ah'll come after ya if you do, and Ah'll skin your scales." AJ said, smiling sadly.
"I look forward to meeting you again." Spike said, then, he put his mask on. "Until then, you don't forget me." Spike said, chuckling.
"Bye Spike." AJ said.
"No, it's not a goodbye." Spike said, then paused. "It's until next time."
Prophet then cleared his throat, making Spike go, but then he looked back, seeing AJ, perhaps for the last time.
Spike headshot another Ceph, killing it. "Bitch, please. Fuckers trying to take me down just get cluster fucked by my chaos." Spike said, chuckling at the Ceph's dead body.
Suddenly, Spike jumped out of the way as a Ceph Heavy fired at his location.
Prophet jumped onto it's back, and started firing his SCAR into it's head, before it dropped to the ground.
Spike threw a grenade, and started to run, activating his Maximum Armor to block the plasma that was shot at him. "Son of a bitch!" Spike yelled as a plasma round that was aimed for his head bounced off of his helmet's side. "SHIT! Snipers, why'd it have to be snipers?"
Prophet ran into cover aswell, blind firing, dropping three out of the hundreds of Ceph easily. "Spike, go towards the tower, I'll cover you!" Prophet said, making Spike nod.
"HEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE'SSSS SPIKE!" Spike yelled, firing as he jumped out of cover, his glowing armor easily blocking plasma easily.
Suddenly, the Garden started to move as it rose in the air. "What in the flying fuck?!" Spike said, seeing Canterlot getting smaller as it moved up.
Prophet had his SCAR in his right, and a Shotgun in his left as he started to fire at Ceph trying to flank both sides, only to turn into bullet riddled carcasses.
A red Ceph General tackled Spike down as Prophet was busy.
"Dragon, accept your fate! This entire world is doomed, and you are delaying the inevitable! Give up, and we will spare this world." It was the Red Ceph from earlier, and Spike only laughed.
"Damn, you Ceph are dumbasses!" Spike said, firing his M12 NOVA into the Ceph's chest, causing it to roar in pain. Spike then kicked the Ceph off, and started firing at it's allies, killing them easily with the SCAR and M12 NOVA rampage of ass kicking.
Spike then ran into the crowd, killing any Ceph that were in his way or got to close for comfort.
The Ceph General roared, then ran towards Spike, tackling him again, causing them to be in a small island, which the metal tentacle like structures held together, but, the land between the Large island with the Tower, and the small island gave way.
"Dragon. You and your world will perish between our war! And not even your 'Elements of Harmony' can destroy the greatest threat in the Universe!" The Red Ceph yelled, seeming to be between rage and pride. "Any last words, Dragon?"
"Yeah, I got news for you asshole. I'll kick your ass all the way to your home world. Wherever the fuck you are, no matter the time, or distance, or space, I will fucking kill all of your kind." Spike said, reaching for his back pocket to check how much C4 he had left.
Only one, and the detonator.
"Pity. I'll make sure that your Elements visit you when the Alpha Ceph takes over your world." The General said, raising it's gun to shoot Spike.
Spike then kicked the Ceph's gun away, causing the Ceph to throw him.
"Tell me, who are you, Dragon? What makes you special that you have to battle me?" The General asked, then, Spike smirked.
"Because...I are guy...who gun teach you lesson!" Spike yelled as he ran towards the General, and planted the C4 on it's chest, causing the General to smack Spike away like a ragdoll.
The General then would walk towards Spike, but then Spike the C4 detonator out, and clicked the trigger, making the Ceph explode, sending it's body to fall off the floating Gardens, falling towards the city below.
"Boom, motherfucker!" Spike yelled, then, he would jump onto the large island. Seeing his chance, Spike would run towards the tower.
Prophet then saw Spike go in, and heard a Helicopter behind him. He turned around to see Psycho, and Psyco in a Helicopter, Psycho firing the minigun on the side, killing Ceph easily.
"THAT'S RIGHT YOU SQUID MOTHERFUCKERS! THAT'S FOR JESTER, AND NOMAD!" Psycho yelled as Prophet got on.
Spike stood there, then black substance covering his body easily. His Nanosuit started to react, causing him to move forward.
Suddenly, his suit started to burn, causing Spike to groan in pain, and the black substance to push against him, making his muscles scream in protest, but, he would move on, his mind set on one thing.
He looked around, it felt like being in the throne room, except, ten times taller. He looked up to see nothing but darkness and metallic walls.
He was standing on a platform, his Maximum Armor turned on. He started to painfully walk towards the edge of the platform. He could see his life flash before his eyes.
"Twilight, what are you going to name him?"
"I think I'll call him...Spike."~
"Spikes, did you say my name?"~
"C'mon Spike, walk to Mommy!"~
"C'mon Twi, we're supposed to be at Rarity's right now!"
"Alright Spike, I'm coming!"~
"Alrighty then Spike, Ah think we're done with this side."
"I bet I can get more apples than you can!"
"Ah'll take that bet! Ya'll be eatin' those words!"~
"Spikey Wikey! Wake up!"
"Twilight, stop using that old name!"
"We're supposed to be at AJ's house, remember?"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm getting up!"~
"AJ, I have to ask you something."
"Alright Spike, what do ya wanna ask?"
"Do you want to be my marefriend?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!"~
"Spike, I love you."~
"C'mon Spike, you were going to enlist in the Marines, remember?"
"Yeah, Twi, I'm getting up."~
"Never forget us, Spike."
"I won't, I'd be disappointed if I did."~
Spike then started to walk again, strength surging through his veins as he started to walk, the pressure was nothing more than a gentle breeze against his armor.
It started to push more violently. Spike stumbled back, but, he would walk forward still, spurred by hope.
"Hope, it keeps us fighting until the very end." Spike said, grinning like a maniac. "And I'd be damned if I let this world become one of those Squid's fucking victories!" Spike said.
He then pulled out the paper, looking at the picture. "I don't expect to come out alive, and I don't expect to let this city to fall. But, I'm going to kill every last of you SQUID MOTHERFUCKERS FOR TAKING MY HOME!" Spike yelled, then, he put the picture in his pocket.
"It's time Marine. To finish, what I started." Prophet's voice said, then Spike jumped into the crater, burning up as he fell.
Suddenly, a wave of the black substance turned white, and flew out, reaching throughout Canterlot.
Ceph looked around, confused, until the white wave passed over one, making it's jelly like skin turn into liquid as it's mechanical body dropped, dead.
Ceph tried to escape, only to be blown away by the antivirus Spike's Nanosuit made. Prophet looked to see the wave pass him, he was unharmed though.
AJ looked up to see the Pinger they were fighting off suddenly crashed onto itself, it's body parts dropping to the ground uselessly. AJ smiled, then looked at the floating island.
Ceph, all shapes and sizes became no match for this antivirus. Ponies and Humans alike cheered at the sky as a Ceph gunship fell to the ground, destroying Ceph.
The Ceph that survived had their jelly like mass of a 'body' to explode out, or simply melt into a puddle of gore.
Discord lifted his sunglasses, in utter disbelief as he saw three Ceph Pingers that surrounded him were, literally, blown away by the antivirus.
----------------------------------------------------------------------Spike's head Three days later-----------------------------------------------------
Prophet appeared, his face still remembered fondly to Spike. "Hey dead man. Some trip, huh? Thought I'd gone? Well, I though so too. But the suit, man. Hargreave was right. The suit changes all the rules. They got inside me. The Ceph. They got inside. I had to break the link to the suit, or loose control for good. And you, you were there, in front of me. Dying, in front of me. Man, I ought to take the chance. Give you the chance to finish what I started. It was our only hope. Look at that. Not just New York. Not just Lingshan. The Ceph have been around... forever, man. And they built everywhere. Everywhere."
------------------------------------------------------------------------Outside--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Citizens and Soldiers alike cheered as Air craft was shone in view, Military driving along the roads along with Medical Personal.
Gould and Twilight were helping a citizen on her feet, when they were done, they would look over the city. Citizens then started to form groups, cheering for Spike.
Alcatraz (( Known as Prophet now)) stood side by side with Discord, laughing. Psycho and Psyco were talking, seeing as how they were so alike, except for the names.
"You see, we won here, today, but this war isn't even close to over. You and me Marine, we don't get to die just yet. We gotta go back. Back, to where we're needed." Prophet said, then, Spike opened his eyes to see he was in a crater, made by the suit, with Ceph dead at his side, and rubble aswell.
Spike then stood up, hearing the radio crackle to life.
"Am I reaching the Force Recon Marine just recovered in Central Park? The wearer of Jacob Hargreave's nanoshell? Ah, wait, I'm adjusting the feed ... ah! Better! Ahm, allow me to introduce myself: Karl Ernst Rasch, at your service. And you are...?" Karl said, as Spike would stare at Canterlot.
"They call me...Spike." Spike said.
Prophet stood over Canterlot, looking over the unscarred landscape around the mountains. The city started to rebuild today. Spike had saved the day, today. Prophet knew that the war wasn't even close to over. This was a big victory, so, he let them celebrate.
"Pretty, isn't it?" A voice asked, Prophet only smiled.
"Spike, good to hear you." Prophet said, looking back to see dragon's helmet off.
"You think I'd let a bunch of squid fuckers from space take me down? You must be crazier than I thought." Spike said, laughing. "So, how's she doing?"
"Applejack isn't going to leave the city until she has proof that you're still alive. You must either have the bravest girlfriend, or she must want to see you alive and kill you herself." Prophet said, looking back forward.
"It's amazing. This country hasn't seen a war in a thousand years, but then, it suddenly comes in a form of a Cephalopod. Messed up shit if you ask me." Prophet said, then, he would laugh, making Spike laugh with him.
"Amazing isn't the word I'd use." Spike said, chuckling. "No, more like lucky. Lucky is the word I'd use. Lucky that it didn't get destroyed. Lucky that all these people survived."
"That's deep shit man." Prophet said, then, he would look down, seeing CELL, Marines, and Citizens working together to rebuild the city.
"Will you give her a message from me?"
"Yeah. After all, I owe you one for saving this place." Prophet said.
"Give her this. Tell her to keep Hope. She'll need it for when I come back." Spike said, handing the picture AJ gave him to Prophet. "Also, tell her that today, on the farm, a little surprise is in store for her."
"Alright, I'll tell her. Just make sure that the surprise is worth her time."
"Bitch, please. It'll be worth her time." Spike said, laughing. Spike the put his helmet on, and looked at Prophet. "And make it fast, she's going towards the train in ten minutes."
Prophet then turned his Maximum Armor on, and jumped, crashing into the street. He turned it off, and started running, going much faster thanks to the suit. Prophet turned around a corner, to see a wall in his way. He jumped on the wall to the left, then jumped over the wall in front of him. ((Insert Troll Face Here))
When he arrived, he saw Applejack, and started to run towards her. He suddenly stopped next to her, causing her to yelp in surprise. "Applejack. Spike wants me to give this to you." Prophet said, handing the picture to her.
AJ took it, then looked at it, and started to smile. "He said that he loved this day. It was when we became Drakefriend and Marefriend." She then noticed some writing on the back of it, and started to read.
AJ gasped, then looked at Prophet, who was standing there. "Excuse me, mister...?"
"Prophet."
"Alrighty, mister Prophet-"
"Just Prophet. You just call me Prophet."
"Alright...Didja know that Spike gave this to ya?"
"Yes."
"When did he?" AJ asked.
"Today, seven minutes ago. I ran all the way here." Prophet said, then, two CELL soldiers ran over to Prophet.
"Sir, I just saw Spike." Vesa said, panting as he arrived.
"I did too. He's alive. Wait, why are you talking to his girlfriend?" Karlos said, then, he looked at AJ, then Prophet.
"Delivering a message. Now, we're going on this train. Applejack, get in, Spike said he's going to have a surprise at your barn. We might aswell make ourselves useful and watch over Ponyville and make sure this Ceph shit doesn't happen again." Prophet said, but, Vesa and Karlos just stood there. "Stop standing there with your DICKS IN YOUR HANDS! I said move!"
"OH FUCKIN' RAH, SIR!" Both yelled at the same time, running to get in the train.
AJ followed after, smiling to herself, knowing Spike was alive.
Prophet then got in the train, and checked the time. "Well I'll be..."
"What?" AJ asked Prophet.
"Spike said you were going to be in the train in ten minutes." Prophet said, making AJ look at the time. It was EXACTLY ten minutes since Spike and Alcatraz talked. "Damn, I just don't get that dragon sometimes."
---------------------------------------------------------Ponyville----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A invisible figure ran through the silent streets of the town, his feet making no sound, while he was swift and cautious. He would then climb up the biggest building in Ponyville, the Mayor's office, and stand on top of the spire like building.
He turned his cloak off to show himself; Spike.
"Damn, I'm getting too old for this shit." Spike said, then, he heard voices, and turned his cloak on, disappearing from view as he would climb back down.
"I'm tellin' you, Vesa, I saw him free running across buildings like in Assassin's Creed." Karlos said, but then Vesa shook his head.
"Well, I saw him run into a dead end ally way. I walked in there, disappeared like a fuckin' ninja." Vesa said, the, AJ grumbled in annoyance.
"Would ya'll kindly shut your mouths?" AJ asked, annoyed.
"I agree with AJ here, you two are being fuckin' unbearable." Prophet said, nodding in agreement.
Karlos mumbled something, then, Vesa smacked the back of Karlos' helmet. "Asshole, he said shut up!"
"Fuck you too, buddy. Fuck you too!" Karlos said, ending up in both in a random arm wrestling contest.
Spike chuckled, but then, he shut his mouth, seeing AJ's ear prick up at Spike's chuckle. "Son of a bitch..." Spike mumbles low for AJ not to hear.
Karlos heard the chuckling aswell, stopping the arm wrestling. "Hey, did you hear that?"
"Probably the sound of you being an idiot." Vesa said.
"You're probably right...dick biscuit." Karlos said, then, they all started to head towards Sweet Apple Acres.
Spike then started to run, passing by the group. No one saw the distortion of light pass by except for Prophet, who only smiled, knowing it was Spike.
---------------------------------------------------------Sweet Apple Acres--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spike would walk into the darkness of the barn. He then went to the back, and turned his cloak off, but, the darkness hid him from sight.
"Looks like a dump with apple trees growing." Karlos said, then AJ punched his chest, causing him to cough.
"That's mah home you're talkin' 'bout." AJ said, angry at Karlos, who apologized.
"So, this is it." Vesa said, looking around. "Not much around except a house, a barn, and a bunch of apple trees. I like it."
"Well, at least somepony appreciates what we do 'round 'ere." AJ said proudly.
Prophet looked towards the barn, turning his Nanovision on. He saw a bunch of figures there, but he didn't say anything about it.
AJ walked infront of the barn door for confetti and a loud "SURPRISE" from Ponyville.
"Take cover!" Vesa said, making Karlos run in, his railgun revving up. When he saw who it as, he stopped the railgun, then chuckled, making Vesa look, his pistol, the M12 NOVA was out, but, he put it in his holster when he saw who the "attackers" were.
Pinkie was bouncing up and down, seeing the four of them. She suddenly stopped in mid bounce, making Vesa and Karlos stand there, sputtering nonsense, well, except for Prophet, who stood there, silent.
Somewhere, deep underground, Newton was turning in his grave.
"Where's Spikey Wikey?" Pinkie asked, making Vesa and Karlos snicker.
"Spikey Wikey. *snicker* No fuckin' way." Karlos managed to say, trying to hold back his laughter.
"I can hear you asshole." Spike said, appearing behind them, causing Karlos to scream like a girl. "By the way, you scream like a girl."
"No I don't! I was practicing my scream song." Karlos said, smiling, even though his helmet was hiding it.
"Whatever you say, fucker." Spike said as the party started.
AJ then walked over to Spike. Spike had his helmet off, getting thanks from ponies and people. AJ smacked his face, surprising him.
"What was that for?" Spike asked, looking at her in confusion.
"For nearly scarin' me to death." AJ said, angry at Spike.
"Well, maybe I should've stayed in Canterlot, or maybe I should've-" Spike said, but the AJ kissed him, cutting him off. "And that?"
"That was for comin' back." AJ said, smiling as she kissed him again.
Spike smiled, then looked at the party. "After you, ma'am." Spike said, opening the door.
"Such a gentledrake." AJ mockingly said in a snobbish accent, causing both of them to laugh as they entered the Barn to join in the festivities.
As the song implies, here we are again. I hope you all enjoyed this story. Took a Hell out of me just writing it. As this is my first story I have ever finished, it's time to call in some Party music, and enjoy the festivities. As Prophet once said before, and I'll say it again, "You see Marine, we won here, today. But this war isn't even close to over. We gotta go back. Back, to where we're needed." I hope you all loved this story, because I'm pretty sure that this story was one tough Son of a bitch to go read. But, I would love to give my thanks to KARLOSIFY and VESA, who I included in the story. I would like to thank the many people who favored it, and liked it, and all that shit. I love to thank those who inspired me. And I'd love to thank the readers, that's right you, who had put up with all my crap and shit, and being patient. Thanks all of you. This was one Hell of a story, and I hoped you liked it. See ya later, and all that shit.
Spike was sleeping in his bunk, Discord on the bottom bunk, Spike was on the top. Spike was in his usual pajama attire, camo pants and a grey sweatshirt. A little snot bubble was forming as Spike was sleeping, only to pop when he heard whistling from mortar fire. He jumped up, only to fall on the floor, waking Discord up.
"What's wrong?" Discord asked, getting ready, but then, a explosion went off outside, making Discord jump in the air, only to land on his feet.
"An attack." Spike said, grabbing his M16, and running outside. Discord following behind with his railgun in both hands. "Do you really have to bring that with you?" Spike asked, taking cover, bullets wizzed by the sandbag cover.
Discord smiled, went up to the cover, and aimed his minigun at the attackers, only to fire, sending limbs, body parts, heads, organs, along multiple things fly out of the enemy's defenses. He stopped firing, and smiled, only to duck when he heard the whistling of mortar fire. A few seconds later, a explosion was heard, Spike and Discord feeling the shockwaves of the blast hitting the ground.
A soldier flew infront of the cover they were behind, half of his body torn from the blast. Spike then looked to his left to see another Pegasus throw up, seeing his comrade in such a state. Spike only patted the man's back, seeing as another soldier went flying from another mortar hit.
"We're getting murdered out here." A soldier said, firing back with his M9. Spike fired his M16, popping out the magazine when he needed to reload, and loaded another in. He then cocked the gun, and fired again.
As soon as the attack started, it ended, no firing of guns, no mortars whistling, nothing. Spike sighed in relief as he got up, smiling as he saw the torn bodies of the enemy.
Discord looked at the handiwork, whistling in amazement. "Can you believe it? It's only three thirty in the morning, right after we got here, and we've already seen some action. Now this is what I call fun." Discord said, chuckling as he put his minigun right next to his bed.
"I just want to go to sleep. I'm tired, we just survived a sneak attack, the other people are trying to sleep. Right now, I just want to lay on my warm, comfy bed and sleep until sunlight hits my eyes." Spike said sleepily as he took off his boots.
A mare walked by, making Discord distracted from Spike for a moment. He smiled, but heard and saw the snapping of fingers infront of his face. "Huh? Spike, what do you want?" Discord asked, getting annoyed he's missing the eye candy.
"I said, we should get some sleep. We have three days until the mission starts, try to get some rest." Spike said, getting into his bed, and, after a little, was snoring.
Discord rolled his eyes, and fell asleep aswell. Tomorrow was going to be a busy day, both of them knew that. Spike was going to be surprised at what would happen when he gets up though, and won't the rest of the camp aswell.
Dear Twilight, AJ, Pinkie, Rarity, Rainbow dash, and Fluttershy.
I just wanted you to know I'm fine at Manehatten. Sadly, I'm alone on my mission. Discord is missing, and the rest of the team is...dead. But, even though I am wounded, I will make it back home. I met a man today that saved my life today. He protected me, and gave me a suit, so I would live. His name was Prophet, and he was a human. Right now, I'm with two humans named Gould and Phsyco. Phsyco is wearing the same suit as me, but, it's light in color. Anyway, I would like to let you know I'm fine right now, and I'll make it back home soon. Gould took the liberty to take a picture of me, and this suit is so cool, I bet it would make RD jealous. I'll be sending this via D mail, or dragon mail. I miss you guys so much. I'll be home in a few days.
Love, Spike.
Twilight kept on reading this over and over until she could believe what her eyes were telling her. She looked at the paper in her hands, and saw the picture of her little Spikey-Wikey in armor that had to save his life.
"Twi' you needed to see me?" AJ asked, walking into the library.
"AJ, Spike is okay, but...Read this letter."
"Ahlright, only if it makes you stop looking funny." AJ started to read the letter, only her smile to falter into a frown, then, a look of surprise when he saw what Spike looked like now. "So...Spike's fine. But, why does he look like a tin can now?"
"I don't know. We have to ask him when we see him. But, he won't be back for a couple of days. I'm sure he'll be the same Spike." Twilight said, grabbing the letter.
"He kinda looks hot in that armor." AJ said, only to earn a odd look from Twilight. "What? Ah wouldn't say it if Ah weren't honest with myself. Plus, you have to admit it, he looks hot." AJ said, smiling, poking Twilight's side.
"Well, he kinda does look, handsome." twilight said quietly, not believing what she just said.
"Ah knew it. But, Ah just hope he's okay." AJ said, smiling.
"We have to show the others." Twilight said, walking with AJ out of the treehouse.
