A Tale of Two Stallions

The day the Deadly Trio (Queen Chrysalis, King Sombra, and Discord) made their alliance, it was too late. Some shit's about to get real if you understand what I'm saying. I get out of bed slowly, so I don't wake my parents who I thought were still fast asleep. My mother is already awake, but staring at the ceiling, and my father is just snoring away. He sounds like an angry bull. It is actually rather humorous.

My mother sits up when she sees me trot by the door and says, "My, Acoustic! You're up early!".

Yes, my name's Acoustic Pulse, I apologize for failing to introduce myself.

"Well, you're up even earlier!", I laugh.

She rolls her eyes good-naturedly and gets up.

My father stirs and sits up, "What's going on? Oh, good morning!".
Yeah. My dad's an ol' war veteran. He fought in the 1st Changelings War, which was somewhere around ten or twelve years ago.
What I'm about to tell him, not even he expected.

"I want to join Celestia's Solar Guard, Dad," I tell him.

He glares at me awkwardly. "Are you sure, son? I served 10 years with them, our duty is done!"

He stares at me to make sure I'm listening, "I understand that, but there's some crazy shit going on out there! You've done your duty, dad. Now it's my turn to do mine! I am enlisting and there isn't a damn word you can say that'll change my mind.", I replied sounding like I'd won the argument.

My father just laughs and says, "Agh, shit, son, you remind me so much of myself!".

I smile back and retort, "Got it from you, Dad. I really am going to join, you know that right?".

He nods his head and retorts, "Yeah, I know. Wish I could change your mind. I don't want you to die. I almost died eight fuckin' times. I don't want that happening to you, okay?!".

I trot towards the door, but when I'm in the doorway, I turn around and say, "Well, it won't. I learned from the best.", and continue on.

By the time I'm out the door, I'm in full gallop towards the Recruiting Office, when all of a sudden there's a loud BOOM! I turn back to see my house go up in a pit of fire and smoldering wood. The explosion sounded like a blast from a unicorn. It definitely wasn't a bomb.

When I look up, there's an entire platoon of Changelings barrel-rolling towards me. I stand my ground, until somepony sneaks up behind me.

"WHAT THE FUCK DID I TELL YOU?! YOU SEE THAT SHIT, SON?! THAT COULD'VE BEEN YOU! YOUR MOTHER IS DEAD NOW! I HOPE YOU'RE FUCKIN' HAPPY WITH THE DECISION YOU JUST MADE!", my father exclaims in a tone of anger I never heard him use before.

I wasn't expecting this information, but from the blast radius of the detonation of the house, I'm not surprised that it killed her. I'm pissed now, so it's on and popping like a carpet made of balloons!

"LET'S DO THIS!", I shout galloping towards them without even thinking of the fact that I'm a pegasus and can just out-run them. My dad shakes his head in disgust and unsheaths two swords he must've picked up from his trunk he used as a soldier. He tossed one to me, and I caught it with my teeth.

I am now just slicing motherfuckers up left and right. I take a couple blows to the head, but still stand. That's when a changeling morphs into my mother. I hesitate and that's when he delivers a third blow to my head. I throw the sword backwards and it jabs into his royal blue eye killing him instantly. I look around at the bloodshed I had just caused.

Just when I thought I was done, there's more and more coming. It's an entire bombardment! I think to myself: 'DAMN! THERE'S SO MANY!', and the saga continues. They're coming by the dozens now. Dad's joined in the fight. It's still no match and we are easily overcome by them.

The Changelings beat and bloodied the two of us and carried us to a remote area which has some sort of prison block. They throw the two of us in it, lock the door, and trot away laughing maniacally. I keep kicking the door, but there's no use.

My father finally speaks up, "You dumbass! Why the hell didn't you run? You knew they'd call reinforcements after you killed 30 of them. I mean seriously, what the fuck, Acoustic?".

I sit there in silence, not saying a word, just leaning against the cell block like I'm at home. My dad once again shakes his head in disgust. I look at the floor and see something shiny glistening from the sunlight breaking through the crevices in the roof.

"No fucking way! They dropped the damn keys? Seriously? Their plan is to keep us captive, not give us an escape route. Oh well, one stallion's stupidity is another's advantage.", I say in surprise. I reach as far as possible but can't quite reach the key.

"Dad, I can't reach the damn key.", I admit after a while.

"Well, no shit.", Dad replies scornfully.

"Look, do you think you can at least try to get us the hell out of here?", I plead.

"Fuck it, it's not like I have anything to do in here.", he replies sarcastically and is barely able to reach the key when he makes a grab for it.

"Hell yeah! I got it!", he said. He unlocks the door and we sneak out the back.

"Damn, where are we?", I ask in complete bewilderment.

"Well, god damn, son, did you even plan what to do after facing those Changelings? You could've been killed yourself. I told you not to join the Solar Guard. But, what do you go and do? Try to join them anyway, now look where we're at. In the middle of no-god-damn-where! We're lucky to be alive, they should have killed us when they had the chance. Now shit is getting real!", Dad rants until I just kick the soap box out from under him.

"Look, shut the fuck up, and let's go!", I shout on impulse not even thinking and run like hell.
