Soldiers Among Equestria 1.5 Remade
Chapter 2
Previous ChapterNext Chapter“Hey…wake up…wake up!” a voice erupted throughout the room.
Evan opened his eyes, and saw the other lieutenants in the conference room in the G.D.I headquarters in the United States. They all looked at Evan with blank looks on their faces. Evan looked at them for a minute before he gained vision of the room. He looked at the clock in the left on the room, it was 11:45am in the morning. He looked down on the table and saw his lieutenant badge, he slowly picked it up and inspected it.
“What am I’m doing back here?” Evan questioned himself, only to have the instructor looked at him with a disappointed look on his face.
“Evan Marshall, if your caught sleeping during my lectures again, I will kick you out of this class. Understand!?” the instructor warned him.
“Yes sir, sorry about that,” he replied back to the instructor nervously, “I should back in Europe with my guys after we took down Silovik.” he whispered to himself.
He looked back at the clock, then back at the instructor who resumed his lectures about CQB, hand-to-hand, and coordination. After five-teen minutes, class was dismissed. Evan was the last one to leave the class and started to walk down the hallways of the main headquarters of the G.D.I, which was a thousand times bigger than his base. Evan had a hard time walking around the hallways in a dizzy mood. Everybody who passed him gave him weird looks
“Is he okay? It looks like he drank ten gallons of Red Bull.” one of the people asked in a concern manner.
She saw the figure walked into a wall, “More like, he forgot his glasses.” she chuckled.
As he passed through the hallways, he saw a classroom, he decided to peak through the window out of curiosity. When he peaked through the window, he saw his guys taking notes on their books on weapon-handling, target-practice, and the history of the G.D.I. Evan looked through the window before he left the room. Evan frantically walked down the hallways. He stopped for a minute and saw a calendar. He ran over towards the calendar and looked at the date, the year is 2005. Evan gasped in fright as he sprinted down the hallways, however, he did not see a spill on the floor. He slipped on the wet floor and slipped off the stairs. As he saw the ground that came toward him, Evan closed his eyes as an attempt to endure the pain.
When his face collided with the ground, his eyes jerked up from the nightmare he had. Evan took deep breaths as he looked around the entrance of the research room. He looked outside the window and saw his headquarters, it was still early in the morning outside. Evan touched the window and felt a chill on his right palm.
“It was a just a dream? Thank God.” Evan muttered to himself.
He turned around and saw his guys still knocked out from the inexplicable event caused by the necklaces. He walked towards Aaron and shook him.
“Aaron, Aaron, wake up.” Evan said as he shook him harder.
Aaron began to wake up, “Ugh…What happened?” he asked him.
“The necklaces that’s what happened. We got to find them before they have a relapse!” Evan shouted at him.
Aaron rubbed his head, “We got to wake up the others!” he shouted, Evan nodded his head at him.
The two soldiers shook the other soldiers, after thirty minutes elapsed, the soldiers started to gain conscience. They all had huge headaches as they got up from the tile floor.
“Everyone okay?” Evan asked as his teammates. The other soldiers gave their Captain a thumbs up.
“Where are we? Are we in Antarctica?” Samuel asked with his right hand on his head.
Evan picked up Daemon from the floor, “No…I’ll explain later, we got to find those necklaces." he commanded
“Why? It’s so early in da morning! Y’all!” Alejandro whined as he stretched his arms and popped his neck.
“Do you want another incident like last night?” Evan warned him.
Alejandro froze for a minute and shook his head along with the others. They went inside the research room to find the necklaces. Samuel and Takashi checked the shelves. Then, Evan, Dimitri, and Daemon checked the cabinets, and the boxes. Finally, Aaron and Alejandro opened the closets, checked the bookshelves, and the metal cases. They searched thoroughly through the room for an hour, but they had not found them anywhere.
“Where are the necklaces?” Evan looked through the boxes, one after the other.
“Heck if I know. They must’ve disappeared after that incident.” Daemon placed the books back on the shelves that Takashi and Alejandro ransacked.
Takashi dropped a book and placed his hands on his head, “This is bad! They might be in another dimension!” Takashi panicked, only to have Alejandro bonked him on the head.
“Calm your bits Takashi! You’re getting riled up like a hogtied turkey!” Alejandro spoke in annoyance as he looked in the trash can.
“I believe that is disgusting, Alejandro.” Samuel spoke in disgust as he turned towards the window with a room with a piece of paper in his hands
As he looked outside the frosted window, he saw the basketball courts, and the swimming pool. Because his eyes were still blurry from the anomaly, he squinted his eyes to get a better view. When his squinted his eyes, his vision began to recover, but, he saw a bunch of flying horses with a carriage behind them about a good two miles away. Samuel rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not hallucinating. After he rubbed his eyes, the figures were not there anymore. Samuel ran towards Evan in panic.
“Umm, mates. We got a problem. There are flying magical horses approaching our base!” Samuel exclaimed, only to have everybody looked at him with a dumb look on their faces.
Dimitri placed his hand over Samuel’s shoulder, “I think you need some coffee, my friend.”
Samuel gently took Dimitri’s hand off, “I do not need coffee ‘mate. There are flying horses heading towards our base.” he spoke with his eyes closed, with some anger in his head.
Evan looked at Samuel for a minute, “Umm, okay. Why don’t we check outside if those necklaces caused any damage to the base?” he said in a dumb tone.
Samuel got a little frustrated, “But sir-“
“I’ve heard enough with your butts! Lieutenant!” Evan shouted in the room.
Everyone in the room started to laugh out loud as Samuel was about to unleash his fury, until he decided to calm down. He took a deep breath and softly spoke, “You’re right ‘mate. I’m just seeing things, carry on chap.”
After the soldiers cleaned up the research room, mostly Daemon and Evan did most of the cleanup. They walked outside to the courtyard of their base, each of them went to different areas around the base to inspect for any damages, Takashi inspected all of the vehicles, each of them in proper condition like the day they were bought, while Alejandro checked the recreational room, basket-ball court, and the swimming pool. Then, Dimitri and Evan checked the armory and the kitchen, they were both in perfect order. Finally, Daemon and Aaron, checked the rooms, bathrooms and the electrical appliances, they are in working order. After the inspection of their headquarters, Evan decided to hold a meeting to discuss last night’s mysterious event. They all took their assigned seats around the table. Takashi does not like it when the Captain holds meetings because he gets bored easily.
Evan looked at everyone in the room, while they looked at him as he was the teacher giving a lecture in class. “Alright guys, we all know why we’re here.”
He turned to Daemon. “Daemon, what happened while you were at the research room?” Evan asked.
Daemon thought for a moment as he tried to recall the events that happened last night.
“Well, when I started to leave the room, I saw something glow, it was the necklaces, and then they released something that connected all them together with a thin beam of light. Finally they ascended and shot out a beam towards the sky.” Daemon explained.
“I don’t know what to say to that. It seems something I would be in sci-fi movie.” Evan said.
After a series of long discussion, theories and arguments, the soldiers accepted what happened. Evan was about to start the morning training routine. Every day, the soldiers do physical and strength training to make sure they are in top shape. They need the strength to carry their armor, weapons, and perform hand-to-hand combat. Secondly, they need to have extreme stamina to endure long missions and clear rooms in little seconds. However, because of the bizarre event that occurred last night, Evan decided to make today a free day so everyone can recover and collect their thoughts.
Evan headed towards the door as everybody looked at him, “Today will be a free day. This is a day to collect your thoughts and recover from what happened last night.” Everyone looked at him with blank looks on their faces as Evan opened the door, “So yeah, enjoy your free day. We’ll resume training once I get everything under control.” as soon Evan closed the door, the rest of the soldiers looked at each other for a minute before they relished the free day Evan gave them.
Meanwhile, Celestia and her guards were almost at the base. When they reached the ground, they saw everything from the basket-ball courts, the garage, and the swimming pool. They all gasped in amazement as the headquarters was five stories tall, had glass windows on every side, superior lighting, and sharp edges that made this headquarters had a modern-futuristic look to it. What really caught their interest the most, was the MH-60X helicopter that rested on the landing-pad. Celestia told her guards to look around the headquarters and find out who is responsible. Since the headquarters is huge, Celestia told her guards to explore the base and keep a low profile.
Celestia’s chariot came to a complete stop, she cannot help but admired the modern aspects of the building, “This place is…very interesting, to say the least. There are a lot of unusual objects here. The building is very…strange looking.” she said with curiosity.
After Celestia trotted off her gold chariot, she commanded her guards to explore the headquarters. Once her guards nodded and began their order, she looked towards the garage, as that would be her first place to explore by herself.
Two of her personal guards followed her with their spears ready, but Celestia turned them down, “Do not worry, I can protect myself, Thank you.”
Her guards were shocked by her words, “But your majesty! Those being might be dangerous!”
Celestia growled a little before she spoke, “I banished Nightmare Moon by myself! I can protect myself from a little being!” she glared at the two guards.
Her guards lowered their spear in fright as they remained in their positions. When Celestia reached the garage, she used her magic to open the metal door. When she went inside, she was welcomed with a pack of SUV’s, patrol cars, and each of the soldier’s personal vehicles. She looked at the vehicles that passed by that began with Dimitri’s Evora, Daemon’s Audi A4, Samuel’s Porsche 911, Takashi’s Nissan Skyline, Alejandro’s Ford Mustang, Aaron’s BMW, and finally, Evan’s F150.
“What kind of carriages are these?" Celestia touched the cream colored BMW with her gold horseshoe, "How do they operate these things?"
Celestia walked deeper through the garage until she saw a sign that said “Exit”. When she went through the door, she found herself in the headquarters lobby. When she walked around in the lobby, she heard a melodic sound that played throughout the room. When Celestia followed the source of the sound, she saw a spikey hair figure that was playing the piano. She watched in amazement as the figure played the piano.
Takashi was on the piano with his eyes closed as he listened to the rhythm as he played his song, Seven Children Ever since he was young, he wanted to learn the piano, but his parents did not have enough money to purchase a piano. Later, he got a job in Tokyo, he saved enough money to purchase a decent piano. He played the piano as he remembered day he bought it. Celestia smiled as she heard the sweet melodic tone.
“I didn’t know he can play so well.” Celestia smiled to herself.
After she heard the song, she went further down the hallways, then she saw a row of paintings. The paintings ranged from watercolor and acrylics. She gasped in amazement as she saw the beautifully painted artwork. When she looked through the art room, she saw a figure that finished his painting of a scenic railroad.
In the art room, Evan was happy that he was finally able to finish his painting. He add the final touches on his painting before he decided to get something to drink, “Glad, I gave my guys a free-day, I’ll never get my artwork done,” he chucked to himself as he left the room, however, he stopped for a minute, “But I still don’t know why we're here. I hope one day we’ll find out.” He muttered to himself.
Celestial hid herself to avoid being seen. When the figure was out of range, she went inside the art room and picked up the painting with her magic and looked at it, “Wow, this is beautiful, the colors, the strokes, and the picture is just simply divine,” she looked at the portfolio of the painting and the drawings. Celestia eyes widen as she saw the painting, “They’re so beautiful…” she whispered.
As she continued her journey through the headquarters, she came across a room that appeared to be a recreational room. She was on the second balcony that overlooked the room. There were arcade games, a pool table, and a bar that served soft drinks. The relaxing lounge music filled the room with an ambient atmosphere. She saw three figures in the room playing darts. Samuel was in the lead, followed by Aaron and Alejandro. Samuel was about to score a third perfect shot, but Alejandro yelled, “Samuel you’re a putz!” it caused Samuel to miss the bulls-eye and punctured the wall. Everyone in the room laughed loudly as they flailed their limbs.
“Self-centered idiots.” Samuel groaned to himself
Celestia glared at the two figures, “Humph, that was rude.” she left the room.
Celestia walked further down the headquarters until she saw something that made her mouth watered. It was a six-layered white cake that was decorated with red and blue roses. Celestia’s jaw dropped as she witness the beautifully crafted cake that stood before her. Meanwhile in the kitchen, Dimitri carved the final rose to his vanilla cake. When he was young, he wanted to bake like his mom, but his dad wanted him to practice the violin because he was a musician. Dimitri added the final touches on the white frosted cake before he admired the creation he tried to master for a long time.
However, Daemon ran from his room towards the kitchen, “Hey Dimitri!”
Dimitri took his vision off his cake and turned towards Daemon, “What iz it Daemon?” he said in annoyance.
Daemon came to him with a book called Greek Mythsin his hands. He always loved to study fantasy creatures ever since he was young. He always imagined himself riding a Pegasus like in the movie Hercules Since he came from Greece, Pegasus are very popular creatures there. He went towards the dining table and called Dimitri, which he reliantly came over. The cake is left defenseless against the alicorn.
He laid the book on the dining table and opened a page that showed a picture of a Pegasus, “Do you think we might see this in real life?”
Dimitri looked at Daemon with an annoyed look on his face, “Daemon, you know those kinds of creatures don’t exist.”
Daemon tapped the picture with his pen with intense feeling, “But Samuel said that he saw flying horses coming towards our base.”
Dimitri crossed his arms in annoyance, “You need coffee too? I can make you one right away.” He looked at Daemon.
The two began to argue on the topic, that they did not know that there was a white Alicorn in the room. Celestia looked at the two figures who still argued whether these creatures existed or not in the world they are in. Because of Celestia’s cake obsession, she completely forgot the two figures in the room. Celestia grinned to herself as she walked towards the cake silently as her mouth watered from the creation that Dimitri had made. When she reached the cake that laid the counter, she took a little knife that was laid out on the counter in an organized pattern and began to cut a slice. She licked her lips as she took a slice of the six-layer cake and picked up a fork with her magic to taste it.
When she tasted the cake, she relished in the sweet delight. She closed her eyes and took another bite to savor the moment, but Dimitri and Daemon were about to turn around.
Daemon looked at Dimitri, “I’ll tell you what, I’ll bet you fifty dollars that we might see these kinds of creatures!” he shouted. With a disgruntled look on his face, Dimitri rolled his eyes, “I’ll give you a hundred bucks just to shut you up.”
Daemon was about to protest, but something caught his eyes of a creature that appeared to be white, have wings, a horn, gold tiaras, and a mane that showed an elegant array of colors. Dimitri looked at Daemon weird before Daemon turned his head towards the creature that took a bite of the cake. They both looked at the creature with their eyes wide as their jaws dropped to the floor. They were both speechless towards the white creature.
Celestia was still in her "cake" mood before she snapped out of it. She turned towards the two figures with her eyes wide, while still had some cake bits on her mouth. She let out a little gasp.
The two soldiers looked at her before Daemon fainted to the floor.
