Resistance: Two Minds, One Man
First Encounters
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe sun shone over the town of Ponyville. It was a crisp summer evening and the gentle summer breeze slightly moved the trees. On the edge of Ponyville was a single cottage. Out walked a yellow pegasus with a pink mane who began to walk calmly through the border of the Everfree Forest. She feared the forest greatly at night but during the day it wasn't so bad. She was known to be incredibly shy but had a heart as big as Equestria itself, the ponies name, was Fluttershy. She had to venture into the forest to get some medical herbs for her animals. Her cottage was basically one big Vet's office. Little mice and bunnies scurried across the floor while birds flew overhead. She even kept some rather large animals such as bears and chickens out back. She timidly walked through the forest as she picked up some medical herbs she located in the brush.
"Oh it certainly is a nice day out today." She said as she took in the sight around her. The green and healthy trees, the blue sky, Celestia's radiant sun, the giant metal object hurtling towards her.
"What is that?" She said as she squinted her eyes to get a better view. She couldn't tell what it was but she could tell it was headed right for her! She squeaked as she flew for cover at speeds her friend fast-flying fried Rainbow Dash would be envious of. She heard an explosion in the distance as the object hit the ground. She looked up and saw the crash wasn't far from her position. She could faintly hear voices talking from the crash site.
"Oh somepony could be hurt!" She said as she slowly and carefully moved forward to the crash sight. She could smell and see smoke rising. She was ready to help any pony or animal that had been hurt by the impact but what she saw when she looked through the brush scared her. It was no pony, or anything Fluttershy had ever seen. It was very tall, taller than even Princess Celestia! It was heavily muscled and adorned some sort of black clothing. It had some sort of device on its neck that hissed every once in a while. It had no snout and no mane. It's skin was a pale white and its eyes were a haunting gold. Something about it frightened Fluttershy greatly but she didn't know what it was, it almost felt demonic.
"Hale? What happened?" Another one of the creatures said coming out of the wreckage, this one was even taller and more muscular than the other one! It wore a black t-shirt with combat pants and combat boots. It also had the same device around it's neck and it wore a black wool cap. What caught Fluttershy's attention was its golden eyes.
"Can you hear them? They are calling to us, it is beautiful!" The other one replied. The voice sounded unlike anything Fluttershy had ever heard! It sounded chilling and almost evil. The voice it spoke in caused goosebumps to pop up all over Fluttershy's small body. She saw the other creature point some sort of device at the him.
"Whats going on?" Fluttershy thought as she watched the scene unfold.
"Forgive me sir, it was an honor." The taller creature said as a loud sound followed by a gush of blood dropped the other creature to the ground. It was just killed by the other creature! Fluttershy was too petrified to even move after witnessing the bloody murder in front of her. She saw the creature look over the dead body of the other one.
FUUUCK!" It screamed as it tossed the device it used to kill the other creature at the bush Fluttershy was hiding in. The device hit her in the leg and she cried in pain.
"EEP!" She cried as tears formed at her eyes. She saw the creature turn to face her direction. Fluttershy froze as it stared at her hiding spot. It's golden eyes burning holes through Fluttershy's soul. It eventually turned away and began collecting wood from nearby branches and trees. Fluttershy took this opportunity to escape. She limped away as fast as she could until she felt she was far enough away from the monster. She had so many questions running through her mind. What was this creature? Where did it come from? Why did it kill the other one? How did it speak equish? Fluttershy knew she needed to find help but night was beginning to fall, she couldn't run because of her wounded leg and she couldn't fly because she couldn't see where she was going. Her worst nightmare was realized: Lost in the Everfree Forest at night. She tried to convince herself everything was alright but it wasn't working.
"It's okay Fluttershy, its all in your head!" She cried as she hit something wooden. She looked up to see two yellow eyes staring back at her.
"AHHHHHHHH!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. Capelli heard a woman's scream and he began running with his shotgun to the source of the scream. He assumed she was under attack by howlers meaning she had very little time. Capelli sprinted until he came into a clearing where the scream had come from.
"Ma'am! WHERE ARE YOU!" He screamed as he saw yellow eyes glowing in the bushes. The signature yellow eyes of the chimera.
"FUCK!" He yelled as he fired a round of his shotgun at the eyes. He heard the snapping of wood. Capelli was confused, he should have heard the sound of organic material being shredded. He figured he must have missed and hit a nearby tree. He fired again at a another pair of yellow eyes and again heard wood snapping.
"Why the fuck can't I hit shit?" Capelli thought as finally one of the howlers came into view only for Capelli to find they weren't howlers at all.
"What the fuck?" He said as he stared at what was in front of him. A fucking wolf made out of wood! Capelli didn't know if he should be relieved or concerned.
"Is this some new fuckin chimera? Like we don't have enough of these six-eyed cocksuckers to deal with!" Capelli said as the wooden wolf jumped at him. Capelli fired and killed the beast as flecks of wood flew everywhere. Another wolf jumped onto Capelli's back and bit into his shoulder. Capelli screamed as he grabbed the wolf and threw it off of him. Capelli screamed with rage as he fired at the beast. He saw six more approaching and he aimed his shotgun only to see it was out of ammo.
"Shit!" He said as he pulled out his magnum. Aiming carefully, he fired at the center of the wolves. He then activated the magnum's secondary ability as the round exploded killing all five of the wolves. The last one, enraged at the death of its lunged at Capelli and tackled the human to the ground. The wolf clawed at Capelli's chest and face as the sentinal pulled out his knife and plunged it into the skull of the beast. The wooden wolf fell backwards as Capelli ran at it and stomped its head into the ground till it was a pile of splinters. Capelli sat down out of breath as he rubbed his wounds. The chimeran cells within him already healing it. He assumed that the woman who had been calling for help was dead so he got up and began to walk away. He saw a small yellow pony glaring up at him. Were it daytime Capelli would have seen that it had wings. Capelli considered killing it for meat but he decided to let the beast live. It was only a matter of time before something else killed it. in this chimera infested forest.
Fluttershy could not believe what she just saw! That creature had killed nine timberwolves! Nine!! If she wasn't frightened before now she was! This thing could seriously hurt somepony as it had no objection to killing. Fluttershy needed to warn her friends about this. She looked up to see she was near the edge of the forest and she could see her cottage from her position. After limping as fast as she could she remembered that if the creature hadn't come, she would be dead. Plus it didn't hurt her when it was staring right at her. Maybe it wasn't so bad after all but either way she had to tell the others about this!

Capelli cautiously walked back to the crash site. He figured he was better off taking cover in the destroyed shuttle than being stuck out in the forest at night. He held his magnum up high until he entered the shuttle and shut the door. Content that it was locked. He attempted to lay down and get some sleep. He was disturbed by the sound of his Ipack dispensing a gas form of the inhibitor. Capelli realized it was running low so he pulled out some inhibitors he kept in his backpack. It had been two weeks since his last inhibitor treatment. He had six vials meaning he would be okay for about three months. By then he will have definitely gotten out of the forest. He took out one of the inhibitor vials and pulled out the shot needle. He gulped as he brought the needle to the back of his neck where his brainstem was. He grunted as he stabbed his neck with the needle and injected the inhibitor. It hurt like hell but it beat turning into one of those six eyed bastards. After administering his inhibitor, Capelli lay down on the cold floor using his backpack for a pillow. Capelli tried to figure what had just happened. Hale and him were flying away from the chimeran fleet as it detonated. Capelli assumed they just crashed to the ground below but they should have crashed in a mexican ecosystem, instead he appeared to be in a north american forest. Plus he had not seen any wreckage from the thousands of ships that went down from the explosion. There wasn't even any damage to the environment. He was definitely still on earth though based off his run in with the wooden wolves. They must have been some chimeran experiment gone wrong. That must have been what was going on here! He sighed as he turned over and tried to fall asleep but was plagued with nightmares from the war.
