As Farel fell through the sky his black combat suit started to grow from his wrist modual. After a few seconds he was covered in a flexible black suit that could withstand small caliber bullets and temperatures up to five-thousand degrees.

Then a few beeps came from his wrist telling him his MIJOLNR Mark 2 armor was inbound. Seconds later he caught sight of six large pieces of metal hurling towards him.

His hoof pieces caught him first, the back ones growing to become the hip and groin of the armor. Then he caught his chest piece, which grew outwards to connect with the hoof pieces to cover the rest of the body. Lastly he caught his helmet and put it on. It beeped to life and a blue heads up display appeared on Farel's Military combat visor.

He was now covered in a green titanium and platinum metal suit that to him felt like a feather. He then landed with a metallic clank in front of the hydra, which was about to eat an old light brown mare with a grey mane.

"Move, go on get outta here." Farel said without looking at the mare to see if she had followed his instructions. His focus was purely on the monster in front of him.

Farel looked at it more closely and saw it was basically a big snake, a really big snake for it towered over town hall. It was covered entirely in red scales making up a fierce armor. It had a long tail with a sword sized blade on the end of it.

"Oooh am I actually going to get a proper fight." hissed the hydra. "It has been so long were I have had the pleasure of fighting someone and then getting to marvel at how delicious they tasted even after I destroyed them." he said licking his lips. (A/N: Do snakes have lips????)

"Well let's say you will get a lot more than you bargained for, you scaly son of a bitch." growled Farel. The hydra hissed and lunged at him, mouth fully open ready to tear through Farel's flesh.

Farel saw the move coming and prepared a counter. Right as the hydra reached him he put his right forehoof in the air above him and stuck out his left backhoof out in front of him. He caught the hydra with his hooves forcing his mouth to stay open. The hydra was surprised that this weird little pony had the strength to do that, but quickly shot fire from his mouth forcing Farel to roll out of the way. When Farel finished his role he lunged at the hydra giving him a swift round house kick to the face,knocking a few teeth out in the process. Then hydra quickly recovered from the blow and lashed out his tail to try and stab Farel. Luckily for him he didn't get caught by the blade, but did get hit by the tale itself. This sent Farel flying into a house crushing it in the process.

Farel tried to get up but he had to much rubble piled on top of him. The hydra smiled at this and slithered over leaning down to Farel's level. He hissed into his ear,"Any lassst words."

"See you in hell mother fucker." growled Farel.

The hydra was about to enjoy his feisty meal when suddenly he heard another voice behind him.

"Farel catch!!" yelled Rainbow Dash throwing a familiar looking L-shaped object over the hydra to Farel. The hydra quickly lashed his tail at the cyan Pegasus, catching her with the blade making a deep gash in her stomach. She fell to the ground screaming in pain. This filled Farel with rage,giving him the strength to push his way out of the rubble and catch his trusted magnum. He then flew up above the hydra's head.

The hydra then turned around only to find that his meal was not under the pile of rubble.

"PEEKABOO DICKHEAD!!!!" yelled Farel bring down both forehooves on the hydra's head,slamming him into the ground. He then landed on the hydra's head pinning him to the ground.

"Mercy Mercy please." begged the hydra.

"You come to this defenseless town, injure innocent defenseless ponies, destroy half of the town and injure one of my close friends, there will be no mercy on this night." Farel said coldly before punching the hydra in the eye with so much force that it popped. Warm blood spurted out covering Farel in it. The hydra roared in pain. Farel then took his magnum off his hip and emptied and entire magazine of 20 rounds into the hydra's eye socket,the hydra had stopped moving after one.

Farel was still seething with rage, but remembered a certain important detail. He turned to find the six ponies he had met earlier all gaping at what he had just done, all except one.

Farel rushed past the dumbfounded crowd to Rainbow Dash. She lay there eyes still open, coughing up blood. Farel fell to his knees and threw off his helmet.

"Damn it Dash why'd you have to go and get yourself hurt." Farel said opening up his med-pack and taking out a syringe labeled 'Nanites'. He stabbed her in the arm and pushed down the plunger. This made her body stiffen and then relax.

"I just felt bad for what I had done to you the past three days." she said giving him a tired smile. "Don't worry about me I des-." she was cut off by a hoof covering her mouth.

"I swear to god if you say you deserve this then I will never forgive myself." Farel said before placing a hoof on her injured stomach. "Computer, activate protocol 'Man Down'." he said to his wrist. The suit complied by making his hoof armor fold up his leg till it settled on the upper part of it. Then the nanites in his combat suit glided over his fur onto Rainbow covering up the wicked gash.

"Alright, put your hooves around my neck." Farel said to her. She did so without question, then Farel picked her up in his hooves. "Okay, where do you live." he asked. She pointed to a cloud floating above a small hill. Farel took off without another word to anyone.
...................................................................................................................................................................

When Farel touched down on the cloud he was surprised to find that somehow there was a house mad entirely out of it. He pushed open the door with his back hoof and walked inside. It was everything you expected to find in a house except made of cloud. How this was physically possible Farel had no clue, but he did not care he was to damn tired at the moment.

He searched the house until he found Rainbow's bedroom. He walked inside to find a bed made of cloud, and a few posters that featured some ponies called the Wonderbolts. He walked over to the bed and set Rainbow down and covered her up with the cloud covers.

She smiled at him before saying, "Thank you for helping me home.

"Not a problem, anything for a friend." Farel said giving her a tired smile. "Now don't move to much the nanites I injected you with have to work there magic." he said getting his serious look back.

"Ok thank y- Wait you consider me a friend?" she asked. "Even after all I've done?" she questioned again.

Farel looked at Rainbow. "Yes I do and yes I forgive you for the past three days." He sighed before adding, " I lost my squadmates in a firefight, and from that day forward I vowed to never let anyone innocent die ever again. I lost so many good friends that day, I couldn't bare to lose another." he said as a single tear rolled down his cheek.

Farel stood up and walked towards the door.

"Wait!" he heard Rainbow Dash say. "Do you think you could stay here tonight." she asked giving him a sheepish smile.
"It's just you make me feel safe." she added quickly.

Farel thought about it for a moment then smiled. "Sure, I'll just be on the couch if you need anything, Goodnight Rainbow." he said before closing the door.
