My Little Carmines

Introduction: Falling to death

"I got your back Sarge" Carmine screamed over the intense battle of the bullets whistling through the tightened air.

The battle waged between a group of two different species that had devilish aims of brutally exterminating one another, the humans and the locusts. The battle echoed around the llima sinkhole, llima used to be a city that stood proudly around Jacinto, the city which the humans were most proud of as it was one of the last cities that became the only hope for humanity; also it was described as being one of the most beautiful cities in Sera. Unfortunately for Jacinto, Delta squad had discovered what had been rocking the very soil of earth; a giant riftworm. The Locusts planned on using the giant abomination to sink the cities around Jacinto so that Jacinto itself would crumble with the same fate as the minor cities. Losing Jacinto would have put a huge void in the humans' plan to win the war.

Young Benjamin Carmine, a rookie for Delta squad and one member of the Carmine family; his two older brothers are a part of the COG like him however his deceased brother Anthony Carmine wasn't so lucky. He got news that his brother was murdered by a locust sniper after he reached the house of Sovereigns, he and his two other brothers (and the rest of the Carmine family) counted him as a big hero to the COG and it was him and his brother Clayton who inspired him to fight on for the COG. Benjamin was busy covering the rest of Delta squad while they climbed aboard 'king Raven'. Sargent Fenix was bellowing at him over the pattern of razor bullets.

"Get your ass in here, NOW" the conversation was soon joined by Cole train.

"Rookie, this ain't the big game yet! Save your ass for the playoffs!" he roared at him, desperately wanting to escape the massive terror; trembling towards them.

Carmine continued his sea of metal killers towards the ugly vermin that gave his younger brother nightmares when he was younger. Carmine accidently missed a couple of Locust that had served back their own wave of killer bullets back to him. The metal made a clanging sound as it recoiled off of Carmines armour; the force stunned him back onto the side of the chopper where he was dragged in seconds later by the rest of Delta squad. The chopper rose almost immediately, absorbing into the air; ready to escape the death trap.

Carmine scurried his hand over his shoulder where he was shot, luckily the bullets scraped of his metal armour and left nothing but dent marks.

"I'm ok, Sarge…I can't believe we made it!" Carmine was overjoyed at the fact that they had survived the terror in the hollow and were going to make it out alive! He couldn't wait to see surface again and to be free of the deadly Locust homeland. Unfortunately, he spoke to soon.

The riftworm beast rampaged through the hardened rock like knife through butter, crushing and brutalizing debris everywhere; one just so happened to target itself directly at the flying machine, sending it on a tornado style twist.

The chopper twisted downwards and Carmine perished downwards to the dark hole of the beats mouth; him screaming in utter fear of the drop.

The sun shined amazingly down on the tiny town, filling it with its beautiful rays of light; begging to be adored by those who wanted to admire it. Creatures had awoken from their slumber and stepped out gracefully, appreciating the new beautiful day given to them. The gentle breeze whistled through the air, the trees swaying majestically and the leaves made a gentle patter sound as they descended gently to the soil. Flowers and other plants fed greedily of the lovely light, showing off their colours to any insects they may have been attracted to its beauty; almost competing against the sun itself.

Following the direction in which the baby breeze blew; led to a town. A small but beautiful town that had sparked to life; within the town lived a mixture of earth Ponies, Unicorns and Pegasus's. They immediately began roaming around, doing their daily activities. Within the Ponies venturing around, a purple mare walked gracefully through the streets, smiling pleasantly at the scenery in front of her. She continued her pleasant stroll until she arrived at her destination, outside the Carousel Boutique.

The purple Pony knocked gently on the door, waiting for a reply. She certainly did hear a ruckus before a white Pony opened the door.

"Oh Twilight, darling, how nice of you to come" she addressed Twilight as usual in her very posh accent. Twilight stepped in politely before saying…

"I'm glad I could help Rarity" Twilight replied happily; watching Rarity close the door gently. Twilight noticed that a couple of fabrics were dispatched over the place and over the sewing machine. She wondered what had happened.

"Um, Rarity what happened here?"

"Oh its nothing Twilight really, just Opal is being a bit of a nuisance; but there's nothing to worry about now" Rarity addressed calmly while swishing a part of her mane back which had shielded her eyes.

"Oh, ok then; so what was it about a new dress?"

"I hope you're doing well out there Clay. Not sure where you are but I trust that the COG will get this letter to you safely. I know that you'll be excited for me, but it'd be great to hear from you before I ship out.

I just wish Anthony was still here bro. I really miss him. I take comfort knowing he died a hero, but still... I miss him, as I'm sure you do too. Well, you know I'm not that good at letters, so I'll keep this short... hope you're doing well, big brother, and know that I'll be doing my very best to serve our country and make you and our family proud.

Your little brother [AKA the Squirt], Ben"

"Oh how sweet, little Benjamin is called squirt by his older brother. This should be interesting; maybe he might just help me rule Equestria! If not…then I guess these beautiful creatures might just do the trick instead!"

OXOXOXOXOXOXO

Two Pegasus's flew fiercely over the Everfree forest. They were dressed in solid golden armour, this could only symbolise that they served the ruler of Equestria; Princess Celestia. Their usual job was to fly over the gloomy forest to watch for anything that might sign danger to any innocent civilians. But today was different, they had received reports that a blinding light had somewhat erupted somewhere in the forest and were ordered to scan for anything that might have caused the scenery and report it back to Celestia.

They both landed roughly in the muddy, swampy forest; keeping their emotionless face peeled on as they advance through the nightmare forest. There eyes switched from left to right as they scanned for any sign of life whether that being the cause of the light eruption or the threats of the Everfree; one guard suddenly paused in his tracks. He glared at what was lying in the soil lifeless, never had he seen such a strange creature in the whole of Equestria; he addressed his findings to his comrade who sprung the same reaction that he did.

"What should we do?" the first guard spoke; his voice sounding deep and rough.

"What we were ordered to do; report this thing to her highness" the second guard replied, readying himself to launch himself in the air.

The first guard just nodded and mirrored the action that his partner did; lifting into the air and racing towards the castle to report their findings…
