SEAL Team Four: Missing in Action

Immediately after he train stopped and the doors were opened Twilight galloped out of that train at a speed not associated with the librarian. She knocked over ponies on her route straight to her tree. When she arrived her door was slammed shut and on glass near the door cracks appeared from the sheer impact from the slam. All the ponies and John's men gave him a look of "why" as they continued to watch her until the end of that route.

When they noticed her slamming of the door they gave John a look of "go on", and John began to walk toward the house. After a time of worried looks from the ponies around him he decided to run as to show he actually cared. By the time he reached her door a semi-loud wail of sorts was heard from inside.

"Twilight?' Was spoken by John.

The wail ended on the first letter of that word. Some shuffling was heard inside and a 'click' sound on the door. It didn't take John long to realize that she had locked the door. So he tried to attempt to use his half skills in consoling.

"Look, Twilight I'm sorry." "Truthfully I think I had looked like a full blooded killer back there. You see in my world actions like that are considered hero work. I would have been crowed a hero until the next sucker did something to the like. My world has murder as a daily news. Many have come to associate murder with a common thread, but here the majority of you know nothing of murder. Your reaction to what I did is proof of it. This world is an untouched diamond. It is beautiful and has nearly has close to no wrong in it. I suppose after I l left those ponies the surviving ones were taken to a mental asylum to change them into the better. In my world those ponies if they had any good left in them and from how they acted they did would have thanked me for what I did if they found out how jail was. Our jails are filled with men like that some change but that number is maybe a handful. Many keep up those ways until death. The brutal ways are to intimidate those men. In your world I guessed that they would be easy and I just could act my way out of that situation. Turns out I was sort of wrong there. Still those men were bad and wanting to hurt the majority of us. Truthfully I would tell you to ask some of your war veterans but I don't think you have many around anymore. So, I'm going to it one more time."

"Twilight I'm ----." John was unable to finish his sentence before he was thrown to the ground by a pony who had grasped him around the neck. -lovingly- Twilight after this realized what many besides her would say as a mistake. John accepted that this was a sign that she accepted the apology and he rose. She looked at him with eyes of apology and with that he walked away.

John began walking toward the train station admiring the beauty of this town. Ponyville to him at least looked like a medieval town. Sure it had many locations that a town in his world would have but it still looked medieval. The way the majority of the houses looked with straw covering their roofs. John arrived at the train station after a short walk.

"One ticket to.....Canterlot please." John said to the attendant.

"That'll 10 bits sir."

The attendant then looks above her and notices a note. "Uhh actually sir you can go freely, the Princess has sent out letters saying that your transportation is free and your housing, food and the like is 50% off."

"Well, that is quite nice of her to do." John replied with.

"Yeah... Well if that's it be gone with yourself." The attendant said to John because he was causing a line behind him.

John began to walk toward the train. This one looked different from the first one he rode on in this world. This one looked more civilian the other one was for use by the Royals. That would explain why it was raided by the robbers on its way to a peaceful town.

While John was thinking the last two lines in his head he almost hit the train from not paying attention while walking.

"Uhh, sir you get your own area separate from the rest." The conductor said to John motioning him toward his compartment.

When John was seated it wasn't long before he heard the telltale sign that the train was about to leave the station: "All Aboard!!"

After those words were shouted the train shuttered. If from the weight of the train or just from the low level technology John wasn't very sure, but after a time of about 2 minuets the train finally began the climb to Canterlot's gates.

Since John had no one to talk to on this ride he decided to look out the window at the scenery. The rolling hills dotted with trees reminded him much of the hills in Georgia. Where he was originally trained to become a soldier. He was trained at Fort Benning. That was quite some time ago John thought to himself. He enjoyed his soldier life. Maybe too much compared to other soldiers, but was happy that he was out there and not regular civilians. Back at home John got top notch care since he was a SEAL, maybe envied him and his men for that. John only wished they were SEALS. As a SEAL John can't tell people that are not in his squad his name he can  only say his code name. That was the only part of "SEALING" he didn't like.

A group of rather frightened ponies stood behind him. They were all workers on the train and wanted to inform John that is was time to depart the train. They weren't exactly sure how to accomplish this. So one of them used its horn to move a coffee cup and hit him softly with it. The cup was enough to move John from his daydream and with that he walked out of the train. Into a dusk filled Canterlot.
