“Never mind I should get back on the EMP,” I said wanting to get back with the work, I didn’t want lose focus on the mission.
“Yeah your right” Night agreed, “I’ll talk to you some other time.” Night was about to exit the room, as the opened Airrick was there, about to open the door.
“Oh, hey Airrick,” Night walks besides; Airrick waves his hand to Night as she leaves. Airrick was holding a sniper rifle in his hand and started to head to the workbench next to me.
“How’s that EMP going Red?” Airrick asked me
“I can say that the EMP doesn’t appear to be an EMP,”
“What do you mean?” Airrick said as he started polishing the rifle.
“I’m not sure, is that your sniper?” I asked Airrick, trying to figure out more about him.
“Yep, before I started flying I was a sniper.”
“Really? How good are you?”
“You’ll find out soon,” Airrick cocked his sniper and looked through the scope, I guess he wanted to make sure it’s clean there, I also realised that he has a knife holster on his left waist, the blade was rusty and it looked like it wasn’t used in a long time. I wanted to ask him about that, but I was fiddling with the EMP.
“Can I ask you a question?” Airrick said to me as he looked at his knife.
“Wait, I think I found the thing about this,” I declined the question, “There’s some button here, I think it could mean something.” I pressed the button and it started to flicker, I dropped the EMP in panic and Airrick grabbed his sniper as there was a fight starting.
“Initiating orbital strike controls.” The EMP started talking with a deep male sounding voice, the EMP showed a holographic computer screen and keyboard above. I realised, the EMP is not what we think it is.
“It’s a controller,” I said to Airrick, he started walking towards it and pressed a button on the hologram keyboard.
“We have to show this to the commander.” Airrick said to me, we started running to the briefing room and the other tech guys were observing the hologram.

“That’s the reason why I quit.” Gunshow finished his story and he put his hooves down on the floor after kicking them on the table.
“Wow, Gun, you can’t really blame yourself for that.” I said
“I can never forget that moment.”
“Hey, I did almost the same to me.” I was about to tell Gun my story, but ReddyTech and Airrick slammed the door and came in the room.
“Uncle!” Red shouted, “You have to come and see this” Him and Airrick were excited to show me what they want me to see
“Calm down both of you,” I said as they both stopped shaking with eagerness, and their faces were blank
“Calm enough,” Gunshow said
“Alright, what’s going in there?” I said to Reddy
“It’s the EMP” He responded “Just come and look for yourself,” I looked at Gun as he got off his chair. We all went into the Engineers lab and we saw the EMP showing a huge hologram showing monitors and keys.
“What in the world.” I said in a slow manner, the EMP wasn’t an EMP.
“It’s an orbital strike beacon,” Red explained. “Uncle do you think we could use this against the nameless?”
“I need to get the princess here first,” I left the lab and started heading to the princess’s throne room, Celestia was there looking over Canterlot.
“Princess, it seems like my nephew just discovered something about the bomb,” I said to the princess.
“What did he gather?” She asked.
“The nameless were transporting an orbital strike beacon.” I told the news to the princess; she had a disturbed look on her face.
“Where is it now?” she said in a calm voice.
“In the tech lab,”

“This is gonna be good,” I said in excitement, “we could use this to stop the Nameless,”
“It may sound a lot easier than it is,” The princess and my uncle came in
“Don’t you know what this means Princess, we can stop all the plots of what the Nameless are planning,” I said to the princess with a joyful face.
“No, we can’t use this,”
“Why?”
“Blah, Blah, Blah politics, blah, blah, blah, conspiracies.” Okay; maybe it didn’t go that way, but that’s what I heard.
“I’m sorry, Princess,” Airrick said standing beside the beacon, I guess he heard the same thing. “I’m not the guy about politics, but I don’t quite know what you mean,”
The Princess sighed and started to walk away, she whispered something to my uncle’s ear, and they started to argue about something, but Cyro nodded his head and came to me.
“Red, come with me,” Cyro told me follow him and we went to his old room in the barracks. He was digging through his old personal equipment and he got a box out and gave it to me. It seems to be a thing with boxes lately.
“What’s inside?” I asked my uncle, I felt like I saw the box before.
“This is something what your dad wanted me to show you,” Cyro said, my dad… man, why does this have to such a drama now. I opened the box and it had some sort of wristband that fits your entire hoof and arm, like a cyborg arm.
“Press the centre button,” Cyro said, I pressed it and it started to glow a dark red aura around it. The wristband started to shake and a video popped out showing a magic screen with my dad in it paused.
“Is it him?” I said to my uncle
“Hit play,” Cyro had a surprised look on his face, I don’t think he turned this thing on before. I sat on the dusty bed and started to watch.
“ReddyTech, its dad, it is pretty obvious, I mean you must recognize me, because I am your father, unless someone else using this, which is impossible because this should only work on you Red. Anyway I’m getting off topic right now. Red, this right here that you’re wearing is a very powerful weapon, it’s still a prototype, but I know you, it has all the things what a unicorn can do, Well for now, it has levitation, teleportation and magic guns like a pistol, you can still add more magic spells to it, there’s no limits in it so think crazy, if you need any more information with this don’t worry, I made tutorials and schematics for you to look at. And Red, I’m... sorry for not spending time with you before, I know it has been really stressful for you to see me working late. ReddyTech, remember this and I know this sounds cheesy, I love you.” The video ended, I felt happy and sad at the same time. What a weird feeling that is.
“You okay?” Uncle Cyro said, he looked concern about me and sat down with me. I started to shed tears, either joy or sadness, both?
“Uncle, remember the last time you visited us?” I asked him, with a blank expression.
“Yeah, I was bringing your dad home after a long day of work,”
“It was also the day I got graduated; he didn’t show up at the celebration.” I started to have flashbacks to the day, I can never forget that day.

“I’m so proud of you, Reddy!” Mom congratulated me with happiness.
“Thanks mom… Where’s dad?” I asked, my mom looked disappointed,
“He’s busy at work…”
“But he’s allowed to leave work and see the celebration,” I felt angry; I wanted to throw a tantrum “He did it again; he promised me he wouldn’t do it again.”
“Reddy, you have to understand that he has to…”
“I know mom, it’s just… never mind let’s go home,” ever since my dad joined the force, I had to take care of my mom since she can’t get a job. I waited in my room waiting for my dad to come home, it sat on my chair until midnight. I saw a car outside coming by, I walked down the staircase and saw uncle Cyro and dad.
“ReddyTech, I’m home,” Dad came into the living room and uncle Cyro is talking to mom.
“Hey dad,” I slowly walked to the living room.
“Didn’t you miss me?” he asked, he was happy to see me.
“You forgot didn’t you?”
“Forgot?” my dad was trying to think of what he forgotten.
“I just graduated dad,”
“Ah… I’m guessing you’re mad at me now,” my dad sat on the couch, I didn’t want to sound so, well I don’t know this flashback is hazy.
“No dad, it’s okay. I hope you were busy with something important.”
“I was, for your birthday.”
“Oh, that’s great to hear.” I was relieved that my dad remembered it was my birthday after the day of graduation.
“Red, listen,” My dad looked at me, “I have to go on a mission with my brother, but even if I miss your birthday you must take the gift.”
“Okay, dad,” I responded with disappointment since my dad would probably not show up to my birthday. Uncle Cyro and my dad were about to leave, but I ran to my dad.
“Dad, promise me that you will be okay and no matter what happens to you, come back.”
“Don’t worry, Red, I’ll make sure he gets out alive.” Uncle Cyro said, my dad laughed and he got in the car.
“Alright, goodbye,”
“Bye, son” They drove off; I thought they had something really important to be done or a mission that has to be done urgently.

1 Week Later

My dad didn’t show up, but all my friends did. I was worried and sad that he didn’t come. It was at night; a car came up to our house, it was Uncle Cyro by himself. My mom went to answer the door.
“Cyro?” my mom asked why he is here and why my dad isn’t here. Cyro wasn’t happy,
“I’m sorry…” He gave a box to my mom and she started to cry, Cyro went back to his car feeling like he committed something. I ran to him trying to hold back of what I’m not wanting to think of.
“Uncle!” I shouted and ran to him in, “Can you stay?” I wanted him to stay and tell us the story. My dad’s story not the story I’m talking about right now, not to be confused with that.
“I can’t… I need to do some cleaning up to do,” Cyro left and I went back inside to find my mom crying in the living room.
“What happened over there?” I asked myself, just holding a dead expression.

The Next Day

Funeral. Take a guess of what’s happening right now… If you don’t for some reason you need to watch more movies.
“Wait, the body was never found?” my mom asked Cyro.
“This is all we got to know,” Cyro got out a dog tag that has my dad’s name on it. “It was an explosion and it fell right next to me,”
“But that’s the thing, he could be somewhere else,” I said, but he sighed.
“Red, just face it, he’s dead,” Cyro said in a monotone voice
“Uncle, what the hay was so important that caused him to die?” I asked, my uncle looked around the room and then he told his story.
“It was just a simple sabotage mission, sneak in and place the time bomb in the enemy’s power source. Your dad placed the bomb, but we lost contact. I thought he was in trouble so I ran to him that caused the enemy to be alerted. I tried everything I can to get your dad to safety, I found him on the floor knocked out and there was some guy trying to backstab me. Of course he didn’t expect me to notice him; I got your dad up and we ran out the building as fast as possible, but…” He paused, trying to speak.
“Did the door close on him or something?” I asked him
“No, they shot him in the leg. He couldn’t get up and then the main door closed on him, and when it did the bomb exploded,” He finished his story; all I can think of at that moment is how did the dog tag fall right next to him, pretty convenient if you ask me. I was about to say something but the door opened and Celestia came in, we all looked at her with her royal guards.
“Princess, thanks for coming,” my uncle said and she responded with a nod.
“May I speak to your nephew privately, Commander?”
“I’m here,” I said in a casual manner. She signalled me to go outside and we walked outside of the building. We were in the garden well not really a garden just a graveyard with a lot of flowers. I don’t know why, but I keep thinking of zombies when I see this place.
“ReddyTech, I’m sorry for your father,” Celestia said
“Yeah, I didn’t expect for him to go off like that,”
“It is unfortunate, he was a great pony and I know you think the same as well,”
“Let me guess, you want me to take my dad’s place?” I said and Celestia seemed to expect me to say that.
“Yes,”
“Because I’m his son and somehow only I know something important of what he has done?”
“You really are like him,”
“He is my dad and I’m pretty sure I'm not an imposter,”
“That is why I am here to tell you, when you are ready I want you to join your uncle’s team,”
“Just like that? I have done nothing incredible like what he did,”
“You’ll see why I have chosen you, goodbye ReddyTech and good luck,” Celestia left with her guards and I went back inside to see my family, my mom went up to me and asked why Celestia wanted to talk to me. I looked at my uncle staring at the dog tag.
“Uncle Cyro?”
“Yeah Red?”
“Looks like I’m taking his place,”

Present Day

“And I trained for months,” I looked back to the wristband, bracelet, glove thing.
“I helped him make this for you; the magic being produced has mine,”
“Happy late birthday to me,” I looked at the screen and closed it and decided to push random stuff on it
“You shouldn’t be pressing buttons you don't know,”
“Oh what can go wrong?” I said, the glove started to glow and started to give me a magic machine gun, it started to fire all over the room and I lose control of it. Cyro managed to take off the glove from my hooves.
“You better get some training,” Cyro said, I looked at the room being filled with bullet holes and my uncle was giving off a blank face.
“Sorry, I didn’t think it would be physical,”
“Your dad created a lot of gadgets for the Equestrian military, but this is special,”
“He said it can only work for me and him, why?”
“DNA or something like that,”
“If it is DNA that means you can use it too right?”
“I tried to use it before for testing, didn’t work,” Cyro sighed and looked around the room with the damages. “This place used to be the room for your dad and me,” I started to feel bad for my uncle; the room must be a memory for him.
“It doesn’t matter anyway,” Cyro said in a positive tone, “The past is the past, and you,” he tapped the glove, “You’re his future,”
“Well thanks for making me feel fuzzy uncle,” I said as we left the room. My uncle is a great pony, whenever he has the time to babysit me when my parents are gone; he’s always there for me.

“I wonder what that was about,” I said to Gunshow,
“Politics kid, don’t bother trying to understand it,” Gunshow said, “Well I’m heading to the armoury to check on the weapons, want me to make your blade sharper?” I hesitated to respond, but I didn’t see why not,
“Sure,” I threw the holster to his hoof; he looked down at the knife,
“You should take better care of your equipment you know,” Gun said in a concerning voice,
“I don’t usually bother since I keep myself in a distance,”
“You might want to think about being versatile in the field,” I rolled my eyes and leaned on the workbench,
“Yeah whatever, Cyro keeps telling me that,” Gunshow started to walk away and shook his head,
“Trust me,” he left and I went back to checking on my sniper, I was never a fan of close quarters; getting my hands dirty is the last thing I want to do,
“Hey Airrick!” A loud voice came behind my head, it was Sitrep.
“Jeez Sitrep, you know I hate it when you do that,” I turned to him, Sitrep was looking star struck at the beacon,
“An orbital strike beacon, I never thought the Nameless would want to get a hand on this. I mean do you know what we could do with this?” He turned to me with excitement as he grabbed my chest tightly,
“Celestia said we aren’t using it,” he let go and his face went completely opposite,
“What! Why?”
“Politics,”
“Hmm good point” he walked towards the controls of the beacon,
“Hey don’t try doing anything stupid,”
“I’m not gonna touch it, just observing,”
“Still, just don’t blow up the place,”
“Oh, I bumped into NightSound on the way here, Red and her are so much more than friends I know it,” I raised an eyebrow trying to get what he means, “C’mon don’t tell me you can’t see it, they may be friends but they are…”
“Okay I get, but it’s not even part of your business with their relationship,”
“A part of whose relationship?” a familiar voice was heard.
