Chapters It was only after I'd left that I did not become aware of the coming changes the would lead me towards my ultimate deception, as the final kill slumped to the ground I lowered the sight on my TMP and called for evac. As I turned tp face the church in the village I began remembering those dark moments in the underground research lab where Dr. Birkin had secretly developed the project towards the G-Virus.
September 1998
It was only a few hours that my team had been dispatched amidst the chaos above the surface, we were briefed on Birkins work on the G-Virus and we were tasked to secure the samples back to HQ and to eliminate Birkins if he reatilated and whether or not he hands it to us. As we walked the corridors HK54's in our hands alert for any signs of movment through the darkened hallways we finally came across the door towards the research lab. As we sidestepped and listened in through the steel doors we heard a small voice coming from the door
"It's Sheer Perfection My precious G-Virus, No one will ever take you away from me."
Then as we rushed into the room with our Guns pointed at Birkin he quickly grabbed the briefcsase that stored the various samples under his arm as he also raised a gun to protect 'his' treasure. "There He is!" my Squadmate said, Birkin responds, "So you finally come"
"Doctor we're here to collect the G-Virus Sample." My ally responded. As Birkin backed away he calmly answers "I'm so sorry but i wont hand over my lifes work" but as he backed too far into his desk a cup fell from his desk, the noise startled the doctor as my team member squeezed a few rounds peppering the doctor with bullets. I quickly place my hand on the nozzle of his gun "Stop it or you may hit the sample." As i walked toward the briefcase that birkin dropped he watched in horror as he sat aginst his desk immobile. I Then turn to confirm with my teammate "This is it alright", I grab the case, "Ok lets move out!" As we ran back out the door we were unaware that within the doctors hands he held a syringe of the prototype sample and as he sadly breathed he told himself that no one will take from him his G-Virus that he poured so much work into as he presses the syringe into his body.
As we continued running we called towards HQ for evac "Aplha team have you retrived the sample" "Affirmative we'll be at the rendevouz point in 1 minute" "Roger!" Then out of earshot we started to hear screaming as gunshots were heard from across the sewers. "What was that?" my companion asked, "Somethings wrong lets go check it out" i respond "Over there!" I pinted in the direction. As we ran in the direction of the sounds we heard other agonizing screams as we stopped running and scanned the surronding area "Hurry!" I said as we picked up speed, As we turned into the right corner of the passage we saw the briefcase on the ground as some of the samples shattered across the floor releasing chemicals throughtout the sewers. But throught the visors of our gas masks we stood and saw a horribly disfigured monster lurking over the remains of the other members who had possessed the virus "What is this thing." It turned around as we saw a once human being engorged with the virus as the right arm grew a grotesque bloodshot eyeball against its shoulder as in the same arm it had sharp like hands dripping with the blood of those he had just killed. "Fire" we pulled back the triggers as the monster turned to scream at us as it quickly ran into our direction as the bullets made no effect. As it swung its arm at us my teammate was struck as his ribcage tore open upon impact as he fell onto his side, "You son of a bitch" I yelled as i hoplessly shot at the monster with my back against the wall. But as it was rearing up on another attack I quickly dodged his attack and ran behind as he struck against the wall where I once stood. As i ran to the brifcase and picked up watever I could reach I saw a exit ladder nearby and as I threw my gun to the ground I quickly climbed the ladders as fast as my arms could carry me. I heard it scream below me as i reached the floor and with a sudden flash of adrenaline I ran in the direction for an exit as I hopefully wished I can get out alive. Then as i saw another ladder up ahead which lead into a manhole above I lost any sense of concentration and giving into the fear I quicly climbed the ladder. As I finally surfaced above I then noticed I was in the RCPD station.
While inside the room I quickly call HQ and attempted to call but only recieved static as i could pick up only small bursts of transmissions on the horror outside "This is RCPD... Theres too many.... need more ...ughghg.........." I shut off the sound as I heard scratches from a door leading into this room. I picked up a nearby 9mm and while raising its sight in my right hand I slowly opened the door with my left as I would then expiernce a world of hurt that to this day I still shutter with thought.
Present Day
As I stepped onto the awaiting Kamov Chopper the piolt turns towards me and murmurs over the sounds of the rotating blades "Once again, only you survive Mr. Death" the pilot speaks with cold bitterness, "Always only you survive Mr. Death" the pilot continues. I didn't respond. I Diidn't care. "Death cannot die" the pilot said with a warm smile. As we descended from the charred grounds I look over my shoulder below as the once peaceful settlement was riddled with the destruction I created during the firefight against the Ganados. 57. 57 was my new number today and not one could get near me as I flawlessly shot into the mass while I also aquired the stored sample they had hidden while at the same time my TMP continued firing. My mission was to gather sufficent intellagance from those walking savages as it was the benefactor that would help realize 'his' ultimate plan as I was perfect for the job. I was one of the few survivors who manged to escape Racoon City and since that day I died with that city as only my body and once human value tredged on whith my loyalty only belonging to Wesker.
I shifted weight onto my seat as we further flew into the forming clouds of thunder. Still I felt alone. I knew nothing of life as I gave up on living and nor did I became interested in the lives of others, I was assigned to so many units and with many conflicts i had endured I was always the only one to ever come back alive, I was then awarded the rank of Hunk for the many skills in combat and methods I used to survive, however my life rotted within the black armor I wore as my vision from under my mask saw only the blood I spill. Everyday i keep on killing as my cold heart grew with pain as I was condemned to walk the earth and slaughter the countless souls that Umbrella needed to 'Dispose' and erase its evidence as they worked underground in developing the viral weaponry towards world domination.
I was Merely a puppet in the elaborate work in not only destroying Saddlers own vision on world order but in also securing that goal into wesker. As the pilot flew into the sea of darkening clouds he turns towards me and shouts "Hold on we're entering severe T-Storms so hang on" but as he tuned backed facing the console a big bright spark of flash tore across the roof of the helicopter as we began falling. My heartrate beated fast as I could see the helicopter helplessly turning in directions but as we fell I became nervous as I saw strings of picture forming of black strange creature filled with holes shining blood crazed fangs in my face and in a split second saw a picture of a kingdom in flames, then I heard sounds of branches breaking until my head snapped forward and i blacked out....................
I quickly jerk wide open as I start remembering that we had just crashed, I saw that I was dangling from my seat with the world upside down. As I pressed the safety release button I hit the roof of the overturned helicopter, my head pounded as I could feel a migraine coming on but never arrived as out of reflex I crawled out the Kamov. Once outside I stood up and saw the environment around me. I saw that I was in a black forest surronded by endless miles of trees in the far distance, turning back to the situation I saw that the Kamov was badly busted as both rotors broke off and looing above I thanked the tree branches that broke the fall or I wouldn't be standing. I search around throught the debris and came upon my equpment scattered throughtout the floor. Shit! I thought to myself as i had only procured so few equipment - A TMP with 3 Clips (100x), a Riot Gun with additonal 22 Shells and lastly Matilda with little than 6 clips (18x) including a handful of flash and frag grenades. As i sorted out my weapons I looked into the pilots seat and saw that that pilots face was torn apart noticing the control panel had exploded,
After strapping on the last of my guns onto my back i finally bent down on one knee and called HQ. "Hello HQ, Hunk reporting! Extraction Chopper has been knocked down and i request additional evac." I heard nothing but static. "Hello? HQ?.... Damn!" i switch off communication as I thought to myself. Just great not only has communication has been cut off but i was also stuck in the unknown . As i got up I turn toward and head north of where i had crashed and with My Riot Gun in hand I was alert for anything that comes at me, but 10 minutes into walking i started to hear voices coming from near the edge of the darkness, i stopped to listen in as I crawled under the grown grass and into the direction of the sounds.
"Scootaloo why are we here in the Everfree Forest?"
"To Check out that meteor that fell from the sky Sweetie"
"Y'all are crazy for making me come, it's past our bed time and the others said they will see it through once the Princess arrive"
I look up from within the bush and i was shocked with what i saw, minature ponies? Walking around the forest talking with one another. What The hell? Am I dead or am was I unconcious because this sent shivers back up my neck.
"But don't you want to get our After Dark Investigators Cutie Mark Guys?"
"Well alright Scootaloo this better be worth my sleep I need to get up and help apple bucking season tommorow."
"Shhh guys can you hear that?"
I suddenly stopped crawling and hid into the underbrush hoping they have not seen me whatever ponies was down there, as I slowly breath shallow breathes I started to hear movement amongst the trees as the voices suddenly turned into fear.
"who's goes there?" asked Scootaloo with nervousness
"Um, Scoot i think we should be heading home right now"
"Yeah Scoot i think i can hear Rari.......aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
Sweetie Belle turned towards a Timberwolf who stood behind the crusaders snarling mouth with hunger in its eyes, then as if on cue more of its pack arrived with the same look on thier faces. "AAAAAAAAA" in unision as the Crusaders screamed holding each other as hoping someone heard thier help. One of the Timberwolf made its first advance at tearing them apart but never got its chance as the Crusaders only saw a very deep hole from the once hungry Timberwolfs head slumped down with syrup flowing from it face having been blown apart. Then all of a sudden they see a very dark figure clad in dark armor step out from the forest with glowing red eyes as it fired strange orbs of light into the other wolfs with the rest of the pack becoming alarmed on what is attacking thier brethern.
After that last shot from my riot gun was gone I needed time to reload again but was not spared as more of these wooden wolfs? attacked from all direction. I quickly switch to my TMP and as some of the Wolfs ceased moving from being torn apart into wood chips from the firepower i rained on them, I turned in all directions. As I tried to aim for headshots I turn to see a wolf come from my left but was met with a swinng my left leg at him. He was immobile for the moment then I finally unsheath my Combat knife and swung at another towards my right leaving a deep gash in its cranium. The wolfs would not stop, so i pulled the pin as i chucked a flash bang into the midst of the hord blinding every dog it the vicinity, I took the moment to reload my Riot gun and fired away the last of the attackers.Once the air was cleared all what remained of the dogs were blown away as nothing was left moving. I quickly then turn to the ponies but noticed I accidently blinded them as well causing them to faint. As I paused to reload all my weapons ready for another attack, I slowly walked towards the sleeping ponies. With a knife between my hand I cautiously touch them with the tips of my finger to test if they were real. Then as i was convinced enough I picked them up within my left arm carried them into a cave I saw a while back. I needed to rest and sort out through all this madness as both forest and strangely these ponies have made me nervous and whatever lurks across the rest of this forest. Once I arrived at the cave with some thought I placed the ponies ontop of my sleeping back onto its sides as I saw they restlessly sleeped. I then took off my mask and rubbed my palms against the deep sleep deprived eyes seeing if I was dreaming but once reality hit me I was in no dream. As the moon began to rise from the entrance of the cave sudden worry came as i hoped someone would send help as they knew obviously if then want the sample badly enough. I then turn back towards the bundle of ponies and stare endlessly
why did i let them live?.....
As I rounded the last corner from the corridors of the RCPD station another of these 'infected' came upon my sight as it slowly moaned and turn towards me as it tried to gnaw at my face but with a swift side blow to its ribs i knocked the monster down as i fired at the downed zombie. Not even 10 minutes in but I've been meeting dozens of these infected and either I ran around the massive crowd or shot my way in to reach the other side of the room with the occasional attempt of them eating my face off. As I continued to go up the flight of stairs leading up to the roof of the station i had remembered eariler in the room I managed to contact and secure another evac point but was orderd to head up to the roof as landing outside the warzone could attract the rest of the city tearing at me once stepping foot out of the abandoned police station. Sudden feeling rushed into my gut as I evaded another oppurtunity of me being dead. I look back around and i was met with a B.O.W. snarling at me as it contnued to crawl in my direction while rearing up to jump at me to take my head off, but with sudden reaction I quickly dove under as the Licker missed it target growling in anger as it tried to detect its prey. With the given time I change guns as I unholsterd my Magnum aiming down the barrel as the B.O.W's head and arms were torn off its grusteque body filled with the product of the affects the virus has caused. As I slowly breathed relieved of the near death expierence I just endured I finally turn towards the exit that would aid me in my ecape out of this nightmare. But as storm seemed to calm down I adjusted the guns in my hands but i looked up in terror as I met to see face into another Tyrant as it raised it Vulcan cannons. As i jumped behind the statue of the angel in the center of the room i peer out the corner as it mistakend me for the beings i had comed to show hatred. "S.T.A.R.SSSSS" the pursuer groaned out lound as the corrupted program fired as i saw quick flashes of light blinding the scene.
I quicky jump up from the position I was sitting in as I uncontrollably breath sweat pouring down my face as Matilda was raised at hip level, but only saw the darkness of the cave surrond the environment as I turned back to its entrance to see the sun start to rise from the darkness that the night endlessly covered us. Once i calmed down, i studied the arm in my hand as sudden memories came rushing into my head but pershed any further thouhts as i turn back to the matter at hands. I then sit on one knee as I continued to fiddle around with the codec as i was quickly becoming frustrated with the results of my attempt to reach any communication back home, But as I gave up again cursing for the idiot I was and how no one is responding, my hearrate stopped as I saw the orange pony stare at me with a forming face of fear.
Scootaloo POV
"Ow my head hurts" as i lift my body up with the headache poundng strongly as sudden thought came back into my mind, wait a minute where are we? . I ask as i saw down my legs covered in a blanket as i turn looking down as my other firends sleeping endleslly as we slept in the overly large sleeping bag. "What the ha..." I finally look above only to be met with glowing read eyes as I saw the creature looming towards the ground turning back at her. AAAAAAAAAA!!! I screamed waking up my other companions as Sweetie Belle rushed from her sleep as she turned to respond, "Scootaloo whats wrong!!" answered Sweetie. "Girls what the trouble!" Asked the red bowed pony, "Help, help, helllppp" I screamed at the top of my lungs as sweetie kept asking "Scootaloo shush why are you screaming?" but as Sweetie turned to face Applebloom with the same thought of what Scootaloo was yammering on sudden realization hit Sweetie ad she notice why her Winged friend yelled as Sweetie cowered in fear as she could not scream out of fear. As Applebloom became confused and turn to see why her friends became afraid of she was alerted as a tall figure stood above them as she back away from Red Eyes as her and the crusaders began to back against the wall.
As the creature continued to walk towards them Applebloom's fear turned to action as she yells at the monster above, "Get away or ill buck you in the face" answers the yellow pony but the creature stopped in it's tracks raising a black object in ts claws as it responded back "What are you?." "Please don't eat us" stammered Scootaloo as she wailed tears streaking across the face as Sweeties hugged Scootaloo as hard as she could as both ponies became afraid of what does this creature want with them. As Applebloom finally attempts to jump across the creature and deliver a kick into its lower body she heard it say "Why would I eat you." Then all three stopped as the being started to remove its face but to only see another head below but soon realized it was just his mask.
"Now now ponies dont be afraid" I state as I removed my mask as i continued "I look scary dont I with this mask" i raised it in my hand as the others still back helplessly against the wall. "Look please don't be scared I am a good guy do you see" I quickly holster Matilda as i sat down staring at the Ponies who seemed to relax a little as the yellow pony continued to state out loud "Why did you take us? where is Applejack? Why are we in a Cave? You want kill us" asks the yellow filly as I already guessed she was as any child would ask those similiar questions. "No little pony i did not take you from your home I saw you guys walk into the forest and saved you from some wolfs" i melanchoingly state, "My question is why were you walking late at night" i sternly ask as Applebloom stops to think an answers "Las night we saw this meteor fall into the Everfree Forest and me and the Crusaders wanted to get out Cutie Marks." "What?" i ask as i shift positions as by now all three ponies finally stop and stand calmly but were still nervous about my presence "Oh im so sorry how rude My name is Applebloom, my friends Sweetie Belle the white one and the chicken is Scootaloo" cheeringly states Applebloom. "Hey who you calling chicken!!" presumingly i guess 'Scootaloo' yells as she became mad as she blushed in embarrasement at her name mentioned. "Cute" I say out loud as Scootaloo squees and answers "I'm not cute im awesome" proudly Scootaloo states as Applebloom turns back with the conversation distracted as she nicely asks "What's your name Mister." Wow this kid had guts compared to her Scootaloo friend. "My name is Luke Ashford" I state out loud. Applebloom smiles and waves her hoof? out. "Nice to meet you Luke" "likewise" i answers gently holding her hoof as i gave her a little shake.
Wierd I thought to myself but shrugged it off as I turn to ask the question again. "So now that introduction is done why were you out in the middle of the woods and why were you dumb enough to drag your friends" I say as anger started to build up as have my ammo was wasted in protecting these ponies. "I'm sorry mister Luke but me and my friends really wanted out cutie marks and finallyy..." "What are cutie marks?" i seroiusly ask. "A Cutie mark is a special symbol on our flank that dignifies what we're good at silly" Sweetie Belle finally talks as all three ponies fear had finally faded. Silly? What the fuck is the definition of Silly? I barely surivived a crash and muchless the the wreck, I was low on eqipment, I was lost in these woods with no help and now im talking to some Ponies as one of them that this was all silly to them. fuck that. "What does that Cutie mark mean sir" Sweetie asks. What? i look at her as i saw she was looking at me right arm with the umbrella logo stitched onto my uniform. "No this is not a 'cutie mark' Sweetie i work for Umbrella" "Umbrella i never heard of them, are they famous?" Opposite my girl if famous is creating viral weapons, staring panemics anf taking over the world then yes we are infamous. "We make medicine and 'help' the world become a better place" I state or what Wesker defines his company. "Look it was nice meeting you ponies but i must really get going and...." Then i hear roaring and screams from below the cave as the voices yelled "Twilight!!!!" "Get away" "Please Help!!" Then all three fillies looked down and begged "Please help them out sisters and friends are in trouble we beg of you sir." As i was going to respond and deny them of any help i saw how Applebloom was using puppy eyes to woo me in helping but as i tried to escape her sight i put my hand up anf answer "alright I'll help but you better now stab me in the back" I say out loud as i grasped my Riot Gun in my hand and jump from the cave as i rushed down into the midst of the fighting......
Earlier
"C'mon Girls hurry up, oh Celestia please nothing has happeded to them!" worried Applejack as she was fuel'd with fear running into the forest as the other 5 raced to catch up with no moment to spare. "Oh Darling please stop making me run or It will ruin my mane" whined Rarity as she breathleslly gasped for air as beads of moisture began to form around her body as her purple mane drooped with sweat weighing more than she could handle. "I told you should have worked out more than worrying about every minute you get to the spa, now just hurry upand the sooner we find those ungrateful fillies the sooner i can get back to sleep" yelled Rainbow Dash as Rarity turned with redness forming in her face.
"Why you ignorant pegasus, my poor sister is missing and I feel dreadful to know she just sneaked out of the house in the middle of the night, oh please nothing has happened to them" stated Rarity, "Well lets not just stand here and lets go find them and when I get my hands on Applebloom I'll make sure her Apples wont shine with bloom" yelled a very upset Applejack. "According to what Applebloom wrote her and the other CMC went to go out and investigat the meteor within the Everfree Forest" Twilight answered as she reviewed the sketch drawing of the CMC activities. "But why the Everfree thats no place for filles" "Princess Celestia told us to not investigate the crater as she would send her top investiagors to view the strange object" applied Twilight with a bit of jealuosy in her voice.
Fluttershy turned to tell Twilight "Huh Twilight I can hear voices up ahead" then the voices were met with screams as roaring could be heard as the mane six hurried towards the noise. "They're in danger lets go!" Applejack pleades as she took all her strength and rushed further into the woods as the noised began to change as strange pounding of noise with white flashes appearing began to blind the path but was met with the biggest explosion of white as the ponies fell forward blinding them upon impact. Then after a moment a pink ball of energy regained her strength as she jumped into the area happily stating "I'll go on ahead guys and give the ok" "Wait Pinkie!" RD shot out her hoof but Pinkie Pie vanished into the furthers darkness. "Um guys you want to see this" Pinkie Pie said out loud as the Ponies emerged from the forst meeting horrible scenes of bloodshed.
All around them they saw Timberwolves dead against the ground torn apart spilling its flowing essecnce from thier bleeding bodies as some still suffered whining from the pain of dying. "Why Celestia ... who could have done this" Fluttershy cried as she hugged tightly against Twilight as she also was suprised and her sense of focus lost into the massacure of these wolves. "Hey guys I see some hoofprints and some animal traces" answers RD as she looke from below the ground as the footsteps led into the forest further. "What the hay!" Applejack peered down as shivers went down her spine as she turned to ask Fluttershy what were these prints and who'd it belong. "I dont know what kind of Animal it is but it looked like it ran but it also seems like it was carring something as it feet sunk into the ground more" sniffled Fluttershy "Than lets follow these prints" pouted Rarity with Pinkie Pie becoming unsure with the traces of Evidence. "I don't know guys but I'm getting a Twitch-a-twitch this is not a good idead" "This entire forest is not a good idea and we can't just abadon them for Celestia to come find them" RD stammered on as the color of her fur began to return. "Ok lets go y'all, we need to follow these tracks" answered the orange pony as the others followed behind and as ther advanced into the forest a strange pair of bloodshot eyes appeared as it watched them from the bush it had hid in with looks of hunger and a sadistic smile.
"Are we there yet!," NO!" "are we now there" "NOOO! Pinkie no damn it we're not there yet" yelled a very angry Applejack as Pinkie Pie smiled with annoyance her game as the others shook thier head as they had followed the beasts path carefully as they became stricken with fear as they wondered what it will look like. Then without sudden notice a large predator jumped from behind the unaware ponies as it struck Applejack unconcious as the other ponies turned to face a manticore but were further afraid at its sight. The manticore had a distorted face as half of its lips were torn apart bearing sharp blood running teeth as it also emmited a loud cackle from behind it's throat. The fur had turned to a gray color not having even the slightest color as a trace of its normal being as it's ribcage was exposed open. But what was scary of all is that it's eyes were filled with dread and hunger as the Monticore swung out again and although missed its initial target managed to freeze it' victims in a shock inducing halt.
"Stop or I'll use the stare!" shouted Fluttershy but the manticore showed no attempts to stop. Without thinking Fluttershy begins to use her stare but Raibow Dash without thinking first rushed into the Manticore but was swatted away as she went flying into Fluttershy messing her concentration as she accidently turned to face Rarity as she felt knifes crawl up her back and held back the blood curdling scream and much less beg mercy. The Manticore took advantage of disabling the other ponies as it licked it lips oon seeing its Purple Prey try to escape but with fast movement pinned the Unicorn against it weight as she began to scream "HELP! anyone do something!" But as she turned to see her friends were beyond helping her she started see blackness as she looked up to see the Manticores soaked teeth close to her face but as her life was being drawn away she then notced from behind its back a strange figure leap up from the bits of light the forest recieved as it rushed on top of the Manticore a knife within its claws.
As I jumped up on the Manticore I begin to stab repeatedly against its spine as it lost its grasp on the Purple pony looking back up at me with both paws trying to pry me off but with the knife well digged into its skin I held onto dear life while I controlled its movements. As the manticore tryed to buck me off its back I took the iniative and pull Matilda from the holster as began to fire up against its head but to no avail seemed to inflict much damage. I was then met with its hind legs as I was kicked off its back landing straight back agonizing in mortifying pain, but with such a rush of adrenaline I jumped back up onto my feet and pull back my Riot Gun as i let it go crazy. The manticore now focuses it's attacks on me as I avoided its sharp claws from tearing me apart, but as i duck it's every blows I fail to make any sort of damge as my ammo counter dangerously ran low. So as I pulled back and took out my TMP I switched tactics and began to aim for its legs as a satisfying screech was heard from the manticore, The ponies seemd to have dissapeared but i decided it was now or never. So as i shot up against its front legs it crashed down before me and as its head fell before its weight I took out my hand grenade and shoved it up its opened ribcage and as I jumped as far away from the beast I looked behind covering my face as the manticore exploded red pieces accross the visor og my mask.
As the fighting was over I begin to look over myself and quickly took the task to reload what so few bullets I had left then turning to the matter at hand I aim my TMP at the huddled ponies from behind and with a sudden jolt i move quickly and stood above the them TMP in both hands. "Luke don't hurt them!" I then look back again to see Applebloom run up to her sister as the others ran towards thier respective guardians. "Sweetie get away from the monster" pushed Rarity as the mane six slowly recovered with the exception of Applejack knocked out cold. Then I look again at the Purple pony who summoned a purple flash of light as I was taken over as I fell back feeling the rush of darkness creep over me as I turned to hold out my hands at Scootaloo and ask "whyyyy?"...........
I saw nothing.
If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.
Visions started to come back to me as I opened to see I was laying across a small bed but I could not breathe as I quickly grabbed at my chest as I started to suffocate under my own weight, I quickly ripped off my mask while heavily gasped for air. As my head began to pound with my senses running amok I gently lay back against the wall as the cold rock slowly made its way up my spine as all the color began to creep up back into my line of sight. I finally regain conciseness as I lift up to see I was surrounded by all four walls as I was sitting in a small holding cell, I then cursed myself as oddly enough I began to remember about strange dreams of ponies? I quietly snicker as I knew I was no way being held alive by some stupid farm animals and with the cell in question I was probably being held by those Gandados within the Salazar Castle.
I stand up to register the rest of the room, I was being held behind some simple bars that have seemed to rot away as the humidity of the basement turned what was once a decent dungeon into a living shithole. I touch to scan for any sort of punctures within my suit and feel across my holster as to no surprise I was taken away from my weapons. I reach down within my pants across my bare leg to meet my fingers across a small box, as I pulled out the object from my fatigues I slowly open the precious case to find my small Mk. 22 and short knife ready within my hands. As I readjusted and refitted my only gun with the silencer attached, I began to also study the simple padlock from outside the cell. I roll up the sleeves of my uniform and touched across to find the small rolled up saw band tucked neatly up against the scar. Freezing within my position dark memories began to crawl back.....
Rockford Island
“I see HUNK that you and your team have successfully transported the shipment, Good work return back to HQ for further debriefing.”
“With all due respect sir but I am wondering what did we just protect because it seems sort of strange that an elite team was dispatched to protect a convoy and it's intended location only 20 mins away from its...” “YOU ARE HAVE NO SAY IN THE TASK YOU ARE GIVEN SOLIDER! THIS WAS TOP UMBRELLA SHIPMENT AND BE HONORED THAT YOU STILL PROVE LOYAL UNTO THE EYES OF SPENCER! IMMEDIATLEY RETURN BACK TO BASE!”
“ROGER HQ!” I quietly salute as above my forehead I give my respect towards the ass of an officer with a strong resentment of the finger I formed. As I tucked back my radio in its pouch I turn to face my 'Team' as I did not bother to learn their identities as we were constantly being expended as we were merely toys in the eyes of the mighty Umbrella Corporation. “ALRIGHT LETS MOVE OUT” As my men quickly filed out of the armored truck we traveled. As I turned back to the shipment at hand I quietly think to myself while studying the outside of the trailer the company vehicle dragged behind. “This still doesn't add up, I will have a word with Wesker about this matter because I cannot keep risking my men and Umbrella taking the pleasure of toying with my team” ..
As the last of the rusted bars fell through the small opening of the cell I slowly slipped passed while keeping cautious of my steps, as I looked from both ways I made a turn from my cell as I came across a intersecting hallway. It was dark and smelled of dying flesh but I trudged on hoping to escape from whatever maze those 'humane' freaks tried to lock me away like a neglected animal in a ever foreshadowing mist of blood that caked the walls of these cells. I suddenly stopped as I began to hear voices down the hallway, I then ducked into the shadows as a orb of light came across as my heart beated from the shock I saw. But I reacted too late as it saw me as it began to call out but out of action I struck him with my blade as the armored 'pony' fell lifelessly a small pool forming from the lash I made at its neck. Running out of the shadow I came across another one but with great speed fired my gun as he fell over unconscious with the tranquilizer taking affect. As the noise dyed down I quietly hear for anymore movement but never came. I swiftly Jog ahead with my gun held down my arms ready for any more guards popping from each corridor but never came across any as I traveled down the endless hallway. Eugh!! I fell down as forming pain spread across my head.
“AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH” screamed my ally as multiple waves of undead appeared from all directions gnawing at what was left of my squad after the other 3 drowned in the deadly swarm of pure evil. As my MP5 continued to blaze with my hands shaking of the adrenaline I was experiencing all I heard was a strange clicking noise as I then noticed I was the only one alive while backing into the trucks drivers seat. I turn to look back at the shipment but the conductor already fled but from far ahead saw the truck swerve violently as it went off road into the darkness of the woods. “Shit!” I yell loudly as I failed to protect the convoy but felt a sharp pain as the car began to jolt violently within the truck as those things rocked it back and forth. Then as the car stood from the edge of its tires the car went down the hill of the dirt road as I banged all across the walls of the car, all I saw was that we rolled so violently I flew outwards as strange messages spread out across the radio
“ALL UNITS, WE NEED MORE REINFORCEMENTS.... HOME BASE UNDER ATTACK!!! ALL UNITS RESPOND AAAHHHHHHHHH!!! before I could ever find out what happened I blacked out as we hit rock bottom.....
As the pain began to fade I finally regained strength and saw a opening up ahead, I kick the door open as the next hallway was illuminated with carpetry spread across the corridor with various pastel wallpaper covering the walls. SEIZE HIM! Yelled a pony from behind as I turn to lay one at him, but as I turn to run into the next direction I saw more of these guards fly? Across as they began to cut off my exits. With sudden skill I avoided a lance hitting another guard as the pony from the right fell over from the accurate shot I pulled, I kickeboxed another too as I elbowed another from behind, as an opening appeared I took the opportunity and ran as guards chased me down alerting the castle of my escape. I was running out of corners to turn and up ahead I saw two large wooden doors but with speed crashed through its hinges as I jumped back up my feet to meet across a large white pony surrounded by the 'six' ponies I had saw earlier in the woods. “YOU AGAIN” I yelled as I stopped in my tracks readying in a attack formation.
“Princess back away we'll deal with him!” said out loud Twilight Sparkle as the other elements began to cirle around him but with quick thought HUNK pulled out his flash grenade he held for so long blinding everyone wihin the room. Tears began to fall down their cheeks as their guards went down HUNK deliverd another fire from his gun but was deflected as a invisble field of gravity kept from hitting them. “What the Hell?” said HUNK but before he could reload his last shot the taller horse looking thing managed to butt him in the ribs as he fell back against the marble floor. Just as he was going to lift up from the blow he couldn’t move. As he struggled to break free Celestia finally looked down as we saw eye to eye. “Stand Down HUNK we're not going to hurt you” at the sudden word of my name I begin to start sweating as I desperately attempt to back away but was held down. “At ease girls he is done” turned Celestia as the elements began to stand up.
“UH you ruffian!! My mascara now I LOOk dreadful” cried Rarity as long black streaks of make up ran down her cheeks, “Why do I see many of you RD?” Pinkie wobbingly stated as dozens of ponies surrounded her. “I didn't know you guys were having a fiesta?” “Can it Pinkie your so random, Princess Celestia caught the beast” shouted a angry Rainbow Dash. “When I get my hoofs around you I'll..” “ENOUGH!” yelled Celestia as the chatter abruptly stopped.
Turning back to the matter at hand she stared back at me “Now when I release you promise me that you wont attack” maternally asked the Alicorn. As the restraints were loose I quickly jump back as I raised my hush puppy at point blank. Before any of the elements could begin to respond I gently answer, “Where am I?” This surprised the ponies as I finally lower by gun. “Forgive me I am so sorry for alarming the likes of you ladies but with all due respect I am just wondering where I am because I am either dead or in some hallucination because you cant exsist.” “What do you mean I dont exsist! Now you see here varmint I am just about having enough of your excuses why did you kinnap my sister?” Applejack snapped. “AJ please stay calm” “No Twilight I cannot standby to see we are gently talking to this thing, he must be punished” “I saved them!” I slowly answered. “There were some wooden Wolf Things that popped out of the forest and I was there to subdue the immediate threat ma’am” HUNK silently answered
“What is your name? Creature?” Celestia gently asked “My Name is HUNK Ma'am” I start to put aside my gun as I carefully remove my mask. As I let my black hair (think of Leon's Hair or Fluttershy filly) fall unto its sides I look back up into Celestia. As the ponies wowed at the sudden change with Rarity of course marveled at his badass hair Twilight finally asked. “What Are you and why do you wear so much black”
“I am a Human and This is my uniform, Purple one, forgive my but what is your name”
“Uhhum.... I mean Twilight! Yes my name is Twilight?” dreamingly answered as she couldnt stop staring his looks blushing upon realizing her outburst. “Twilight mm cute name what are the rest of you called I may ask?”
“This is Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie also this is Princess Celestia”
Great not only am I stuck in some weird girls fantasy but with these names have already creeped me out. “Why are you here human, I said I told your kind to stay away!” harshly stated Celestia
The Ponies began to back away as Princess Celestia slowly started to eye down at the dark Human, “ I Appreciate for saving Applejacks sister but Why are you in Equestrian HUNK? Not only have you raised much alarm within my castle but have also murdered one of my Lieutenants” huffed Celestia as a white source of light began to form in her head. I retract back into my steps “I am dearly sorry for killing one of your subjects but I acted out of reason and I am sorrowfully bothered by it but it is natural” After saying that, the ponies started to tremble as Celestia Yelled with all her might “HOW DO YOU LIVE WITH YOURSELF IF SUCH HEART IS USED TO KILLING, ARE YOU PLEASED WITH COMMITING SUCH ACTS ONCE THE BLOOD IS SPILLED”
“Look Princess Celestia I can explain”
“FOOLISHNESS I SHALL ENDURE WITHIN YOUR MIND TO SEE WHAT SOUL HAD PLAGUED YOUR VISION IN COMMITING SUCH CRIMES”
Then as if on cue another white flash exploded into my face as the pain began to eat at me. I dropped to the floor curling into a ball as I could feel her inside me. Scratching at my eyes I begin to cry as dark memories began to spill into the room. As the ponies stared down at me, they fearfully backed away as they began to see strange visions spread across the walls. Dark shaped bega to form as it seemed to trudge through the walls as they saw strange umbrellas decorate the scenes.
“I see you have secured the vial HUNK, good job now we must secure it for ourselves in dominating this world”
A voice whispered. As the ponies looked back at Celestia she turns back to the six
“To prove if he is not evil we must see back into his past to make sure he does not plan on harming us so in three seconds we will enter”
Then blackness came

Celestias's Pov
As we entered into the mind of HUNK everypony who transported with me fell to the ground and we began to gain consciousness I open my eyes all around us surrounded a white desolate space filled with nothingness. As the bearers started to stir back to reality I began to hear chatter and an almost nervous whisper from behind me as my student finally broke the silence.
"Princess Celestia where are we? What's going on?"
"Do not worry Twilight, we are inside the sub conscious of Lucas and I need to know his past in order to fully understand from where he comes from. Humans are violent creatures who for a millennial create conflict amongts each other and the consequences are deadly at least that's what my father once told me."
As the rest of the bearers started to come near me we all began to hear voices as laughter could be heard from a distance.
"Uh Princess what's happening?" cried Applejack as the clouds began to form making it hard to see as Gunshots was also heard with bloody screams following.
"Stay calm little ones, we are simply entering into one of HUNK's first memories however why at the age of only 9?"
Blackness had engulfed the Ponies as they traversed into the mind of HUNK
1977, Kijuju
A house was burning down as the flames continued to light throughout the night sky. Another gunshot was heard as male voices began to shout orders in a mysterious language almost as if demanding something from the people they had just dragged out of the house. 9 African rebels surrounded the small group of Afrikaners (White Descendants) as the bigger one of the group sporting a red beret continued to butt the rifle against Charles Ashford as beads of blood began to pool around his body.
"YOU WHITE PIGS CONTINUE TO EAT OUT ALL THE GOOD OF AFRICA AND WE SHALL SEE WHO IS LAUGHING NOW FUCKING AFRIKANER"
"PLEASE NO MORE, HE IS ALREADY LEARNT HIS LESSON JUST PLEASE NO MORE" Lucia Ashford cried as the other rebels held her in a vice preventing her from shielding anymore hits on Charles. A smack was heard across her face as she fell towards the ground.
"SHUT UP BITCH, OR unless you want to meet my Solider held underneath" Sadistically said by the Colonial who stopped hitting Charles. As the rebels began to surround Lucia undoing their belts a gunshot was heard as one of the rebels slumped to the ground spilling another mess of blood on the already caked grounds of the workers. The colonial than turned back to the wealthy land owner and kicked the gun out of his already broken hand as Charles further yelled in unimaginable pain.
"Leave her out of this please i beg she is the mother of my only two children, this about me not them" coughed Charles as another gunshot tore through his leg.
"You know Charles I remember when you white folk came to my country, It was all this and all that that we Niggers are not human or we don't know went to react. Now I am reacting and because of your kind my mother was raped by the same men who promised to protect only the product but not the people who worked to mine those FUCKING DIAMONDS."
As the colonial shot another round into the shoulder blade of Charles he finally turned back to the woman at hand raising his Makarov at gunpoint.
"T...I...A..." (This is Africa)
Lucia fell to the ground with an eye missing as the hole tore out half of her Brunette head. A agonizing scream was heard as Charles yelled out for his Wife but fell lifeless as the Colonial ordered his men to mow down his attempts to reach out for his lover. Shouts of joy was heard from the charred camps as the rebels cried out in approval, the Colonial finally raised up his hands silencing any further shouts from his squad.
"MY BROTHERS NOW WE BEGIN THE NEW BLOODLINES"
More shouts were heard as two small white children were pushed towards the colonial both scared not paying attention to their now deceased parents.
"Come here little children, come to your father" called out the colonial as both brother and sister continued to still stay put.
"COME HERE NOW!" A rebel kicked both children as they laid face down on the ground holding back tears of pain. As they both began to sit up a pistol was handed to the boy as the colonial finally spoke.
"Now we must test how truly evil you are Little Afrikaner" giggled the colonial but turned back into seriousness.
"Kill your sister."
A sudden rush of thoughts came into the young boy as he did not raise the gun he was given.
"SHOOT HER OR I SHALL PERSONALLY SEE THAT SHE ENTERTAINS THE YOUNGER RECRUITS"
The small boy continued to hold his gun down as it began to shake in his hands.
"KILL HER!!!!!!!!"........
A gunshot was heard.
Princess Celestia began to hold back the torrent of tears as Fluttershy fainted with the other bearers struggling to hold back the already waterfall of tears. More memories began to resurface as Luke started to remember the memories of his past but however only bloodshed was seen as strange flying objects picked killed off the rebels base with uniformed 'guards' taking over the base. Then a strange blonde man was seen walking around the bloody base as he started to come near a familiar Caucasian child solider. He would then tell the boy promising to bring him back to safety that he would not longer become a killing machine in the eyes of these 'monsters.' However it only takes a monster to create one.
Years would then pass as Luke would stand at ready within one of Umbrellas top academies as he would soon join the first security force funded under the watchful eyes of Father Wesker and the Godfather of all medical advances.
The ponies could only turn away from the massacres conducted by this poor brainwashed soul like a puppy who could only beg for his masters attention. Finally the most recent of his memories resurfaced as HUNK stood alone in a darkened room lidded by only one overhead light.
"HUNK my son you have proven well in extracting the necessary vials from the now 'Defunct' North Korean development research."
HUNK Could only stand as a strange figure came from behind placing a hand behind his back.
"Now be a good boy and fetch your father something to drink" chuckled Wesker with a hint of malice after.
HUNK's latest retrieval mission was to infiltrate and confirm a new virus sample being held by a strange cult deep within Spain as rumors of a viral terrorist attack would soon begin however Umbrella has other plans for its use. As the memory began to fade the Ponies were only left depressed and sucked out of life with the events of this man who under all these conditions still continued to remain silent and obedient even if under the threat of his life taken away. However his masters don't know is that his life had already died on that fatal night on his home. Celestia finally talked to her student and decided HUNK was too dangerous and should not be left alive any more and she would now end his suffering so as she slowly began to power up her magic to erase his soul a strange noise could be heard from afar the open mind.
"YOU make assumptions of him and yet you decide to kill him? I shall prove that even evil has some good left in him"
A strange glowing orb of light hovered above the Princess as everyone fell backwards. What they would soon realize is that the figure in the dreams would come alive just the same as HUNK when he finally opened his eyes..................

As both the regal Princess and bearers were flooded with the bright light that the spirit had blinded them with they could only cover their eyes until the madness had ended. Never would she had thought that they would later be transported into another part of HUNKS subconscious as the ponies would stand in a meadow surrounded by rolling hills of green. As the ponies finally dared to open thier eyes they became startled at the grass underneath thier hooves.
"Where are we what gives" Rainbow Dash finally spoke
"Theres so much greenary I'd say sugar" Applejack sat as she scanned accross the open pasture that stretched miles away.
"What if we don't get out and we stay in this aweful humans mind. NO, we need to get OUT. I have a photo-shoot with Fleur and i just can't miss that!! Please anypony....." Rarity whined until a reassuring hoove landed on her shoulder.
"Don't worry your head Rarity, if theres one pony who knows anything I think Princess Celestia would know. Right?" Applejack nervously answered.
"Applejack as much as I am pleased you think so highly of me I am afraid I have no clue because this is not under any normal circumstance and I can't figure out what part of Lukes mind are we in." Stood Celestia as she began to walk up towards the hill in front,
"I wonder what that spirit had meant when he said I had made a wrong assumption"
Before any pony could answer her question they began to hear neighing from across the endless fields as a strong vibration began to come near the group.
"Stampede" yelled out Applejack as a group of creatures could be seen coming in their direction. As the ponies jumped out of the way Celestia could only stare at the horror they had just witnessed. As the dust began to die down what the ponies would soon also learn that what had just ran through them were nothing more but strange equine creatures called wild horses as they endlessly continued to run across the open plains beyond.
"CELESTIA, what are those? Are those Ponies?" Twilight quickly responded as Celestia could only stare as a strange feeling was felt in the pit of her stomach.
"No Twilght what we have just encountered is one of our ancestors" eclaimed Celestia as the ponies had thier mouth wide open.
"Ancestors? You can' be serious we look nothing like them." Rarity reacted as she fell back into the hooves of Fluttershy pretendingly fainting.
"In old pony folklore, Equestrian was once under the service of Humans as we would both come to bond and share the emotions of a animal and owner. However what my father once told me and unto Luna as that humans would also come to abuse the Horses upon centuries tainting that love which led my father to cutting ties with the humans banning them from ever entering our realm. However we stand before our most oldest connection of what ponies once were as creatures existing in a another universe but what questions me is why are they all free?"
"With all due respect Princess but how can we be related to such ugly creatures?" Twilight asked expecting a mean answer but was met with a small whimper from her highness.
"I still do no know, even after my father had outlived his lifetime I would never come to also understand that." Celestia finally stopped staring at the horses from the distance turning to Rainbow Dash.
"Dear Rainbow please could you fly above and see if there is any opening to exit these plains"
"TOTALLY on it" Smiled RD as she quickly ascended and rapidly flew across the sky but strangely fell down as she smashed her head across an invisible wall in the sky.
"RAINBOW!!!" Pinkie Pie quickly sprinted as the falling figure continued it's descent. As the others followed suite.
"OW, oW,oww" held her head RD as she could only see Turtles orbiting her head.
"Son of a--" Before she could mutter that last curse. A strange boy sat across from her as he had his arms buried between his legs.
"Rainbow are you okay!" Fluttershy interrupted as the others galloped from behind but as she turned to where RD sat staring she felt a hundred shivers of ice crawl up her back as the others did the same. Celestia turned back to the commotion as she lastily reached up to the group and quickly placed herself into a battle pace charging up her charge to kill, but a voice was heard from above.
(Imagine Morgan Freeman)
"Do not be afraid little ponies he means no harm to those around him" boomed the voice above.
"He is merely a lost child buried behind the forgiving wasteland of a plain waiting, waiting for when he can get up"
"Waiting for what" Snapped Celestia. "I have had enough of you humans invading the peacefulness of my world and even if this boy is as innocent as you say he is, he is still a human and I will not..."
"SILENCE!!!!" the ponies began to huddle as Celestia continued to charge her horn.
"That is where you are wrong!"
Than as if a imaginary cloud began to beam overhead strange pictures began to burn within the cloud almost serving as a projection of the said memories that the ponies would view.
"Luke Ashford the son of both Lucia and Charles Ashford was born in 1969. He was the son of two normal classed farmers that established a horse farm in in '73 and as a child has lived what others would consider a happy normal childhood"
A picture of a house was shown above the clouds as a small boy was running across the open fields of his family farm as they were shown being one of the first British entrepreneurs that had traveled to Africa to reap across the new farm-able lands made.
"Although happyness sometimes comes to an end. In 1977 A band of armed rebels of the northern provinces had raided his family in the middle of the night as the hired ranch hands would become one of the first of murders that had died that night."
A picture of a man was sitting on his laps as a bullet tore across the piles of bodies of both men and women.
"He sadly had to witness these murders as a child and the deaths of his loved ones."
A house was burning throughout the memory of his old home.
"He was then forced into a child soldiers life in the beginning forced to fight to stay alive among st the ranks of other children that had their lives taken away from them."
Countless faces were shown of the children that had participated against their own will into the life of a solider at such a young age committing hundreds of atrocities throughout the pictures.
"Replaced with the mind of a killer, Luke would later express resentment across all the things he had once loved, the idea of friends, a home, and childhood were only in the 'back' of his mind. However one day a PMC came across his camp killing off his captors and the rest of his allies and at the end he would come to meet his father"
A charred battlefield was shown as a shaking white boy with fear spelled within his eyes coming face to face with the devils right hand... Wesker.
"A man by the name of Albert Wesker had led a counter strike under the order of the Provincial government that had payed for the many secrets that the Umbrella corporation had conducted on the many 'experiments' they had captured among st the population. Luke would be given false hope of seeing his deceased 'family' before being shoved into the surgery table underneath the Umbrella Plant."
A scream was heard from beneath the ground as the crying image of the boy began to glow bright bloodshot eyes as 'Wesker' inserted the first sample of the newly researched Progenitor syrum. The effects beginning to merge with the DNA at a successful rate.
"Luke was one of the 500 cases that had miraculously merged with the Progenitor virus, he was given enhanced sight, more strength and his success rates higher than any other Spetnatz agent deployed under the payroll. However at a price he had lost his sense of morality and his abilty to remember as Umbrella would also plant the first seeds of his sad life playing as the Toy for Umbrella to send out on thier more top secret missions."
Countless missions were being seen conducted and every time succeeding with little to now flaw. HUNK rising to the top earning the name of Mr. Death. From joining the first raid on competition infiltration to the infamous Raccoon City purge that occurred. With every mission he had succeeded he was becoming less human every time he was being controlled personally under his handler Wesker.
"What you see his his only memories he had preserved within his mind locked away by the suppressed vaccinations Umbrella had clogged him with. However it was the sight of innocent that had finally broken him."
"What was it?" Celestia calmly asked
"You"
"Why Me?"
"He had a deep love for horses, he had grown up caring to the needs of the majestic species he had come to admire for the elegance of their beauty and freedom to run wherever they choose to run to."
A current scene was shown how HUNK saved the CMC from being down from the Timber wolves as he sacrificed himself to save them from harm. The Ponies began to water there eyes at the strange armor clad human saving their little ones and in particularly Applejack holding back tears.
"He was given direct order to eliminate those who had seen his face"
HUNK was shown in the cave brandishing his gun as he walked to the bundle of ponies that restlessly slept throughout the night.
"However... he let them live."
"I look scary dont I with this mask" HUNK raised it in his hand as the CMC still back helplessly against the wall. "Look please don't be scared I am a good guy do you see" he put away the gun. "I'm sorry i scar you look my name is Luke.."
The clouds began to evaporate as the clouds began forming dark colors indicating a downpour. As the ponies could not feel the rain they saw the boy still sitting in the fields almost as if weeping.
"Man cannot come to terms alone as God had made man to overpower all of his animals, however man must also come to love and embrace them and in all their glory"
A quite horse slowly walked its way towards the boy as it finally stopped in front of him. The boy looked up and was startled at the horses face but the horse could only stare as it blinked. Luke would a finger down his crest above it's head as the horse neighed at his touch. He then hugged the horse as if it were his only friend and with a smile said
"Epona, I love you."
"Show him what is love and he will come to show that love for you too Celestia. Never judge a book by it's cover and let it happen, for both the sake of Luke and his promise to Leia"
"Who is Leia" softly asked Celestia
"His sister is still alive and he has no memory of her.
The the light was gone as the ponies lastly past out, they would then wake up in the throne room to find HUNK staring at the stained window pain as he could only mutter the simple name
"Epona?"
Youtube Video
As Celestia and the bearers slowly began to inch forward towards the tormented solider standing in front of the stained glass, what they saw shocked and send many shiver down their spine. HUNK's face was of absolute sadness and as he turned to greet the advancing ponies what further scared the heroes was HUNKS unnatural black dialects as his eyes were only full of darkness.
"Why don't you love me?" Asked HUNK as he directed the question to Celestia.
"Love Me?"
"I always brushed your mane, kept you happy and even persuaded father from selling you to Bongani! Because you are my horse! And nothing can keep you away from me!"
Before they could react HUNK ran to Celestia as he fell to his knees hugging the forelegs of the Celestial Goddess, Celestia was lost for words as HUNK further embraced her as she could feel his wet sobs between the many chokes of words that he attempted to breath between every tear.
"Please don't leave me, MOMMY is dead and DADDY is dead, I don't want to be alone! JUST Please don't go!"
Before Celestia could even react to the creature that was holding her down a sudden thought occurred to her, 'His suppressed memories have reemerged and he stills remembers.' As HUNK began to wail the many tears of lonlieness, she could not hold back the tears of her own as she could'nt imagine how this being practically a child stuck in a adults body could have deserved to live a life of a mercenary. Before long the others could only stand as they Celestia bury her head onto HUNKS own as she whispered within in his ears.
"You are safe my child, I am here for you.. you will never be alone again"
As Celestia began to hug hard against Luke shaking body HUNK would respond.
"I love you"
With those words said the others could only turn thier heads away as HUNK slowly began to drift into a well deserved sleep as Celestia would lay with Luke as he could only further repeat those last words until only a gentle snore was heard from Celestia child.
As Celestia stood up she turned to the hundredths of Guards who continued to levitate the many crossbows if violence had erupted.
"Stand down, that is an order!"
As the Guards lowered thier crossbows Celestia turned to her protege.
"Twilight go and fetch for the doctors and be quick about it"
"But Princess Celestia he is a very dangerous.."
"THAT IS AN ORDER NOT A QUESTION!" Demanded a irritated Celestia but the look would turn to calm "I know what I am doing and the least what we could do is give Luke a proper rest before we go into any details."
As the ponies could only stare at the sleeping figured sprawled across the ground the same question were still looming in the air...What is he? Why Here?How can they trust him?
As Twilight hurriedly ran for the castle doctor a figure standing behind the shadows in the background slowly began to flicker to reveal a hideously scarred Changeling as it had taken enough information before returning to the mother hive. Then it had vanished just as fast as it revealed.....
RCPD Station, 1998
As HUNK hid behind the statue within the Police station, he could only hide from the number of bullets peppering against the cover as that thing could only repeat through grunts as it mistaken-ed HUNK for one of its targeted Star Members that Umbrella had programmed to definitely eliminate any and every survivor. As the cover was being destroyed, HUNK had to act fast before it collapsed from the power of the Vulcan cannon and with quick reflexes from his countless years of training sprint from where he was hiding as he fired down the door next to him. As he landed straight across his stomach, he got up and further ran as Nemesis stomped in pursuit of its target. As HUNK's heart raced, he finally lurched forward to the balcony from the windows of the once proud Police Chiefs office andas the windows around him broke from the numerous bullets from the monster behind, his body tore through the window ahead as he flew in midair.
Once HUNK somersaulted onto his feet he pressed the remote button of the C4 he had planted to delay the Titans advance and upon activation a loud boom was heard from the now burning office above. As he jogged towards the exit of the lower office floor, loud screams were heard as the Walking Dead turn to the direction of the lone solider. With no ammunition HUNK tossed his last grenade in the crowd of growing dead and with another explosion cleared a path that HUNK lastily ran forward as fast as his feet could carry him. With mere inches away from opening the handle of the door an evolved Licker lashed out its tongue at HUNKS feet as he was knocked down. As the Licker slowly began to pull back its sickly pink long tongue, HUNK could only claw at the ground before he grabbed a hold onto the side of a desk. As the Licker angrily yanked at HUNK he grabbed from off the ground a health spray and with the lighter attached to his belt lid a small fire as he aimed the spray through the lighter.
As the Licker got a foot and finally pulled HUNK towards itself it screamed another loud noise of pain as the makeshift flamethrower tore across it's face. With the demon stunned, HUNK pulled out his last resort as he jabbed as far deep into the Lickers cranium of his Bowie knife. Another scream was elicited from the monster before it finally dropped to the ground as its lifeless body began to twitch, so with a slash of his knife HUNK cut off the Lickers engorged tongue as he got up and sped for the door. As HUNK kicked down the wooden door more static was heard from any remaining officer from inside the City.
"Please...Oh GOD!..if anybody can hear me...AGGGGGHHHHHHH!....(Shots)....help me!.."
As the line went dead HUNK could only shake as he still needed to complete his mission and as he was standing at the foot of the stairs that lead to the parked Police Maverick, a sudden urge of pain shot throughout HUNKS body as volts of pure electricity tore from down below his legs to the tip of his head. Strange images of a cave began to appear in his vision as he could see strange creatures surround a even larger mother, and as the images further flashed before his eyes a voice was heard from within his head.
"What a lovely but absolutely ridiculous sentiment. Equestria shall fall and before I will stand as the new Queen of this wretched land and watch it burn before all of you ponies....."
Luke Shot up from his bed as beads of sweat covered his naked body, as he began to exhale more breathes a calm voice was heard next to him.
"I see Luke that you are awake. At ease I shall not hurt you."
As HUNK searched for the nearest weapon in his belt only to realize that all his equipment was gone he turned towards the white horse that laid next to him.
"Stay away horse!" shouted HUNK as he scrabbled further away from the Goddess.
"Luke I know what you are going through and as I hold my promise I will never leave you alone."
"NO look here Horse."
"Celestia."
"Celestia watever, You don't know me and before I pound at your face.. explain to me why I am naked.."
HUNK was met with a passionate kiss from Celestia as all traces of defiance was gone as a fire that had once lid roared back to life.
"As I said Luke I shall never leave you, because you have trekked across a lonely path and I am the answer to all that you have feared. You will never have to fear the darkness that is inside you alone ever again."
As Luke could only continue to kiss the Beautiful Princess that he had laying across his body, he could only hug harder back before accepting his new fate.
"I love you.."
