Soldiers without Borders
The End is only the begining
Previous ChapterNext ChapterMike was unconscious after the fight with Decker he was knocked out for an hour or two. In his mind all he could think about was how he succeeds in his mission but failed to keep his promise.
"Decker is dead I completed my mission but I never kept my promise, sorry Jenny even I know that nuke more than likely killed me." He thought to himself.
Just then he heard water flowing almost like there was a stream nearby or maybe it was a river. Mike's eyes shot wide open but his vision was still blurry then got up. When his vision cleared up he saw it was daytime and there was a meadow like field with a small stream next to him.
"Where the hell am I and why am I not dead or am I?" Mike asked to himself then looked at his wrist computer to see if he could pinpoint his location. “Damn its telling me this location is unknown I’m probably in an uncharted area and there might not civilization for miles, but even if I was close by I have no idea which direction civilization is."
Just then something in the sky caught his attention it appeared to be some kind of shiny metal box flying pretty fast, then in an instant gone out of Mike field of vision. Mike stood there curious and wondering mysterious flying box was.
"To small to be a plane, but it moves just like one." Mike thought to himself. "But there is a chance that thing is going to a place where there is civilization so I should probably follow it God I hope I'm right."
Mike started to check his weapons and gear; he had his two gold and silver Dessert Eagles pistols with four magazine clips for each gun, his Mark 2 Blaster Rifle which had two rechargeable solar magazines and one rechargeable lighting round, his combat knife, three grenades, two flash bangs, and his Phoenix tomahawk.
"Well everything seems to be in check, I guess." he told himself. ”I better head out I hope I find someone before it gets dark."
Mike walked for a while until it became dark but he had enough light from the moon to see where he was going and in that time he never found one single person he started thinking that it would probably take more than a day to find people. But just as he was about to give up he saw a sign that said ' Ponyville two miles ahead' In his excitement he decided to run the next two miles without stopping. Mike finally reached the outskirts of Ponyville and decided to spy on the area first; he didn't want to walk in on the town and not know what he might be up against, so he activated his hawk eye and started to zoom in on the town. His eyes widen as he couldn't believe what he was watching he saw these multi-colored human like ponies walking around the town some had wings and were flying in the air while others had horns on their heads that would emits colors of energy then they had some that were just regular ponies that had neither of the two.
“I’m guessing these are the locals.” He said to himself “I still can’t believe what they are; it just doesn't make any sense... a-am I dead or maybe I survived the blast and I'm in cold sleep."
Mike then saw all the ponies going to the center of the town which had a building that stood in the middle of everything. He decided to get a closer look so he threw on his hood and pulled up his mask over his face so you could only see his eyes also he wouldn't cause any attention to himself and made his way into town. Luckily for Mike the ponies seemed to busy notice him apparently some kind of festivity was going inside the building, when everyone was inside he decided to look through a window. Mike saw so many colored ponies he thought he might go color blind but out of all the ponies there two stood out, one was pink and had extremely poofy and wild mane she was about 5'7 and had curvy body and C-cup breast which would constantly jiggle due to the fact that she was jumping up and down from excitement. She wore a pink t-shirt with a balloon design in the middle she also wore some navy blue jeans and pink tennis shoes the other pony had a horn and was lavender she was about a foot shorter than the pink one her body wasn't as curvy as the pink one but she had some curves and had the same breast size, her mane was neat, straight and dark violet with a light purple and pink streak running through it, she wore purple shirt with a longer black shirt under it, a purple skirt, and black leggings she also had black dress shoes to go with it.
"Hmm I wonder what the occasion?" Mike thought to himself." Maybe a town meeting."
As he was about to investigate something caught his eyes something that make his spine freeze up something he never thought he'd never see in a million years, it was Paradox soldiers four to be exact but something was off about them they were running with a cloak figure and carrying a unconscious pony that was tied and gagged black glowing ropes. This one like most of the ponies Mike saw was female due to her huge breast and curvy waist she looked taller than most of the ponies he'd already seen; she had wings and a horn, her coat was white as snow and her mane was multi-colored which would flow in the wind even though there was no wind wasn't blowing in the direction of her hair also she wore a white sun dress and golden slippers.
"Boss we have kidnapped the princess and are moving to the castle now." said one of the soldiers to the cloaked figure.
"Good let us begin stage two of the plan." the cloaked figure replied in a stern feminine voice then vanished in a dark blue smoke.
"With these guys here there's bound to be trouble." Mike thought to himself. "As a Fire Wolf it's my job to stop guys like them."
Mike was just about to chase them until he heard screaming coming from the front doors of the building, ponies where running in complete chaos so where even trampled during the anarchy. Since everyone seem to be in panic they never even notice Mike but to be fair his hood was on. Mike saw the same lavender unicorn, carrying a purple and green lizard, and running but not in a panicking state, she was less panicked and more worried like something was on her mind. To Mike she looked very suspicious and he decided to follow her. He followed her to a tree that had windows and a door there was also a sign that said 'Golden Oaks Library' the mare went inside and Mike followed right in then the mare went upstairs while Mike waited.
"I can believe she hasn't notice me yet I mean I'm not even trying to be stealthy." Mike thought to himself. "This is too easy."
When the mare came back downstairs her eyes widen when she saw Mike to her he looked very intimidating but she kept her composure.
"W-Who are you and what do you want?" She asked.
"You know it’s rude to ask for someone’s name before introducing yourself and my name is Mi... I mean Blaze; my name is Blaze you seem to know what’s going on around here care to fill me in.” he replied.
“M-my name is Twilight Sparkle, weren't you inside when Nightmare Moon showed up?”
"Um no I was outside when all of that happened and who's Nightmare Moon?"
"You don't know about her, let’s just say she's the Evil Goddess of the night, anyways she captured Princess Celestia all I need to do is get the Elements of Harmony and-"
Just as Twilight was about to explain a cyan pony with wings and a short but messy rainbow mane burst inside the room. She was around 5'6 and had B-cupped breast and while she looked feminine she had a tomboyish style, also she wore a sky blue tank top which a had a cloud with a rainbow colored lightning bolt in the middle, she also had black gym shorts, and blue running sneakers.
"And just what are the Elements of Harmony and how did you know about Nightmare Moon, huh are you a spy? The cyan pony asked. "Also who is this guy?"
Just as Mike or Blaze was about to introduce himself the same pink pony the he saw earlier along with three other ponies came through the door. The first one was the same height and body shape as the pink one the only difference was that she had more athletic features. Her coat was orange while her mane blond but most of her mane was covered by her Stetson hat with the exception of her ponytail, she wore an orange checkered blouse that was tied into a knot in the front and tight fitting jeans with cowboy boots. Next to her was a white unicorn mare she was the same height as the lavender mare and same body shape, she had a white coat and curly indigo mane she wore a dark blue dress that was slightly above knee length and black high heels. The final pony was Pegasus mare she had a light yellow coat and a pink straight mane that covered her face, out of all the mares inside she had the biggest bust and curves, she wore a green t-shirt with three pink butterflies in the center some light blue jeans and white sneakers.
"I go by Blaze and you are." He responded in a slightly annoyed tone.
"Mah name is Applejack please to make your acquaintance." The orange mare responded in a southern accent. She then took Mike's hand and shook it, she had an extremely tight grip on his hand but Mike didn't seem to mind. "Sorry about our friend Rainbow Dash getting in your face like that."
"It's fine." He assured her but thought to himself saying. "Dang that sis lifts."
"My name is Pinkie Pie I like parties, pranks, and especially cupcakes oh; we should have a welcome party after this for you Blazy." The pink mare said in a bubble cheery tone which to Blaze was slightly amusing but annoying at the same time.
"Um that won’t be necessary, and don't call me Blazy!" He responded more even more annoyed than he already was.
"My name is Rarity, oh and darling your clothes are hideous." The white mare said in a sophisticated voice. "After this come see me I will definitely change your clothes to something more appealing."
"Um no thanks, wait what's wrong with my clothes?" Blaze said slightly offended but kept his cool.
"All I'm saying is that it's to plain." she responded
"Bitch." Blaze said under his breath
"Anyways the name is Rainbow Dash but AJ already told you that, I am the fastest flyer in Equestria." The cyan Pegasus said in a boasting attitude.
"Um ok so what?" Mike responded somewhat amused voice which made Rainbow Dash upset.
"If there wasn't the fate of Equestria and Princess missing I would totally kick your ass." She said pissed.
"Man she's annoying to bad I don't have duct tape on me duct tape solves everything even annoying horses." Blaze thought to himself then he turned his attention to the yellow mare that was looking extremely nervous.
"I...I'm Fluttershy." She whispered out
"What?" Blaze said trying to make out what she was saying.
"I'm Fluttershy." She said again trying to sound louder but didn't work
"What?"
"Her name is Fluttershy!!!" Rainbow Dash said. "Can we get on with it, now what are the Elements of Harmony?"
"Oh right, well the Elements of Harmony are the only things that can stop Nightmare Moon, but I don't know what they are, where to find them; I don't even know what they do!" Twilight explained slightly frustrated
"The Elements of Harmony: a Reference Guide." Pinkie Pie read out aloud which surprised everyone in the room.
"W-where did you find that I didn't see it anywhere?" Twilight asked
"It was under Eeee."Pinkie Pie responded in a singing tone.
Twilight then took the book from Pinkie Pike and started to read aloud.
"So apparently there are six elements but only five are known: Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Honesty and Loyalty. The sixth is a complete mystery. It is said, the last known location of the five elements was in the ancient castle of the royal pony sisters. It is located in what is now known as the Everfree Forest.
"The Everfree Forest!?!" The other ponies yelled in unison
"What's the Everfree Forest?" Blaze asked
"You mean you don't know what the Everfree Forest is it the most dangerous place in Ponyville." Rarity said "Where are you from darling."
"Let’s just say I'm from out of town." He replied "Now where is the Everfree Forest?"
"Well it’s on the northern outskirts of Ponyville I reckon it should only take fifteen minutes to get there." Applejack said. "Follow me ah'll show ya."
"Um before we go I need check something." Blaze said. He then took out his knife and stabbed himself in the leg and let out a small grunt.
"What in the name of Celestia are you doing!?!" Twilight yelled extremely freaked out from Blazes action.
"I just needed to check if is really happening." He replied as he was patching up the wound he just made." Besides I didn't hit anything vital."
"Look I know this is a lot to take in but don't you think that was a little too far." Twilight responded "Also I get light headed when I see blood."
"Well I'm fine now let's get out of here."
Everyone exited the library Blaze was second to last and Fluttershy was last. Something that caught Fluttershy attention was the fact that she didn't see Blaze with a tail, all ponies have tails some short but still a tail.
"I'll have to ask him later." Fluttershy thought to herself.
Fifteen Minutes later.
The group finally made it to the entrance of the Everfree Forest and just as the ponies were about to enter Blaze threw his knife down in their path the six mares stop dead in their tracks until Rainbow Dash spoke up.
"What the heck are you doing we have to get inside the forest you know?" She said in an annoyed tone.
"Not we just me and Twilight it’s too dangerous, you five will stay here while me and Twilight stop Nightmare Moon." Blaze replied then took off the safety on his rifle.
"He's right it would be too dangerous for you and you'll probably get in the way." Twilight added on.
"Don't get ahead of yourself Twilight the only reason you’re coming along is because you have information about the Elements of Harmony and Nightmare Moon not because I want your company."
"Hmp jerk." Twilight said "I didn't want your help anyways."
"You need my help or you'll be killed by the Paradox."
"Um Mr Blaze can I ask you something if that's ok with you." Fluttershy said
"You can just call me Blaze, but sure shoot." he replied in the nicest tone he could think of he didn't want to sound harsh because he see that Fluttershy was gentle and her emotions were fragile and probably cry's easy.
"Well um it’s just that you don't have a tail, I've been meaning to ask you but I couldn't muster up the strength."
"Now that I think about where is your tail and why is your face covered?" Twilight ask.
"That's none of your concern." Blaze replied
"What, we have all the right to know!" Rainbow Dash said
"No you don't!" Blaze yelled then turned around and started to walk towards the forest. Just then Rainbow Dash grabbed his hood off and his mask fell off at the same time. The six mare gasp at Blaze's face.
"What are you?” Twilight asked. He didn't respond just turned around and kept quiet.
"Please Blaze tell us who you are if that's ok?" Fluttershy said in the most concerned tone then put a hand on his shoulder.
"(Sigh) I'm a human, I was sent here by an explosion while I was fighting the Paradox that's all I can tell you right now." He explained.
"The Paradox?" Rainbow Dash said with a questionable look on her face. “You keep talking about these Paradox guys who the hay are the Paradox?"
"(Sigh) The Paradox is one of the most evil, corrupt, and insane military organizations." Mike replied.
"Yeah well they don't sound so tough I bet I could take them down ten seconds flat." Rainbow Dash said proudly while puffing out her chest.
"You don't understand there not like any other soldiers you've seen their ruthless killers."
"K-killers?" Fluttershy spoke nervously her legs were practically shaking at this point.
"Yes ruthless killers they care for no one but themselves." He replied to Fluttershy.
"They can't be that bad I mean what's the worst they can do?" Rainbow Dash said.
"Then you don't them like I do, the Paradox don't care if you’re a child or an adult they will kill their own comrades hell they enjoy it if it's your birthday. I've seen so many birthday executions I've become used to it." He said coldly.
All the mares had a sad and scared look on their face some even cried a little. Then there was an awkward silence until Applejack said.
"That's mighty wrong what them fellers are doing but we are still coming." She said
"(Sigh) fine you can come but I'm not responsible anyone who gets injured or dies."
"Dies? (Gulp)” Fluttershy said just as everyone entered the forest leaving her by herself "Wait for me."
Inside the Everfree Forest
The group walked quietly in the forest for a while everyone seem to just keep everything to themselves until Twilight decided to break the silence and start a conversation.
"So, none of you have been here before?" she asked.
"Ugh, heavens no! Just look at it... it's dreadful." Rarity replied.
“And it ain’t natural. Folks say it don't work the same as Equestria." Applejack added.
"Oh, what's that supposed to mean?" Twilight said.
"No pony knows. You know why?" Rainbow Dashed said trying to sound menacing as possible with she hovered in the air.
Blaze could see the look of fear on Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie's face. He was about to step in but Applejack beat him to it, "Rainbow, quit it already.", she told Rainbow Dash in a commanding tone, but her friend still continued, ”'cause every pony who's come in, has never came out!" She shouted while she dropped on the ground with force.
Mike was about to ignore it until he felt the ground under his feet collapsing, then in an instant he was sliding downwards along with the girls. Trying get a grip on something he pulled out his tomahawk and hooked it into the ground, he managed to get a grip and stopped sliding down instantly.
"Phew, that was close" Blaze said. But he spoke to soon as Twilight slid right in front of him, he could see under her skirt ironically she was wearing pink panties, Blaze was extremely surprised to see her panties and his nose started to bleed while in the process Twilight bump into him and his tomahawk lost its grip.
"Aw crap!" He said as he started to fall, he then took out his blaster rifle and changed the setting to grappling hook. Blaze fired his gun and the hook caught on to a piece of the cliff, Blaze swung into a side of the cliff and bashed his arm extremely hard, he could feel it being dislocated out of his shoulder. He let out a silent grunt of pain and swung to the ground he could feel that he was coming to fast so he retracted the hook and tucked himself in so he could roll. As rolled he could feel the pain jolting in his arm but wouldn't show any sign of weakness. As he recovered and got to his feet he saw that the six mares had also made it down safely.
"What the hell is were to thinking you nearly killed me!" Blaze shouted at Twilight with complete anger.
"Well excuse me for being in panic, it’s not like anypony got hurt." she replied being annoyed by Blaze's anger.
"Yeah no pony did, but somebody did get hurt." He said. “Hey Fluttershy can you do me a favor and pass me that piece of bark?"
"Um ok." She replied then passing him the nearby bark feeling unsure if she should have.
Blaze put the bark in his mouth, which taste not that bad in view, and bit down on it extremely hard. He used his good arm a grabbed a hold of the dislocated arm and popped it back in place, he could even hear the popping sound coming from his shoulder and it hurt like a bitch.
"Oh my goodness, you’re hurt." The yellow mare said which was slightly louder than she is used to.
"Not anymore." He replied. "It's was just a dislocated arm, I'll live."
"Hey, I've been wondering what that thing is?" Rainbow Dash asked pointing towards Blaze's blaster rifle.
"It's the Mark 2 Blaster, this rifle is one of the most advance guns of all time. I will never have to worry about running out of ammo ever again and it also has so many useful attachments, it’s like a utility knife but in a gun version."
"Um yeah what’s a gun?" Pinkie Pie asked then out of nowhere she was holding his two Dessert Eagles. "Are they guns too, their kinda heavy."
"How did you get those, give them back." Blaze responded the snatched the guns out of her hands and place them pack in his holsters. “Wait you don't know what a gun is?"
"Nope." She replied in her cheery tone.
"Well it's basically a weapon that shoots out extremely fast projectiles some are metal others are heat energy like my rifle." He explained. "So I'm guessing you don't have guns here?"
"Nope."
"Great now I'll have to conserve on my bullets." He said in a sarcastic tone "Any ways let’s keep moving."
The group continued on walking down the dirt path that seem to quiet for Blaze's approval he had this feeling that something was going to pop out and bite is head off but maybe it still that fact that he's in another world with no clue what to do.
"Ladies keep your eyes open something is off about this path." He said quietly.
Just as they were about to make it out of the mysterious path when a large figure jumped out of the nearby bushes. At first Blaze couldn't make out what it was but where he got a good look at it all he could say was.
"Sweet mother of old spice and taco Jesus that the hell is that!"
It had the body of a lion, wings of a bat, and tail of a scorpion. Blaze didn't even need approval to ready his gun it had the I going to kill you look in his eyes, he would have open fired but thought that it might not be such a good idea, opening fire on an animal that you never seen before isn't the best idea he learn that a long time ago and it is something he will never forget but that is another story for another time.
"It's a manticore!! Twilight yelled then the manticore started to roar. “We've got to get passed it."
Then the manticore pounced with all its might at the mares and Blaze, instantly the manticore swept one of its claws at them and by instinct Blaze jump back keeping his distance from the beast and him.
"Keep your distance I may not know what that thing is but I'm sure you don't want to get hit with those claws or stinger." He said.
The mares nodded in response and moved back to keep their distance all except Fluttershy who kept moving closer to the manticore.
"Fluttershy what the hell are you doing get back here." Blaze said still having his gun aimed at the manticore.
She ignored him and continued to walk toward the manticore. When she was finally in front of it the manticore raised it paw.
"Fluttershy!!!" Everyone yelled out.
Blaze then rushed toward putting away his rifle and pulling out his tomahawk and knife as he was about in put a blade in its skull he stopped to see that Fluttershy was pulling out a huge thorn out of the manticore paw. The manticore was so happy to be relieved from its pain that it started to lick Fluttershy as a sign of gratitude for helping it.
"Great job I guess sometimes all you need is a little kindness." Blaze said then walked pass the manticore with the others except Twilight who stayed behind to talk to Fluttershy.
As they went deeper into the forest it became a lot darker. The only thing giving them light was the moon, which barely shown though the tree tops.
"Hey I'm going to go ahead and see what we might go up against." Blaze told the other mares. Before they could even say anything he was already gone.
Blaze started to walk deeper and deeper in the forest the more he went the darker, so he turned on his Hawkeye’s night vision, all he saw was funny shaped trees that had scary faces but to Blaze it was very amusing.
"Those would have made good decorations for Halloween at the K9 Base." He said to himself.
After sometime he made it out of the dense dark forest and was stopped by a river which was moving extremely ruff. He decided to wait for the girls plan out their next move. It took about a half an hour for them to come out one thing he notice was Applejack boots had brown stuff in the bottom.
"Um, that's mud right?" He asked in a joking tone.
"What, oh yeah hehe it's mud don't worry about it partner."
"So we made it through the thick part of the forest but this river current are to ruff to cross over I could use the grappling gun but I don't know if you can support your weight. You may not look heavy but for all I know you probably weigh a ton.” Blaze explain.
"Wait a minute are you calling us fat?" Rainbow Dash said in an extremely threatening tone. “Because I will make you eat those words buster!"
"Damn this girl have anger issues." He thought to himself, just then he heard what sounded like crying coming from one side of the bush. “Follow me and stay down." He told them then advanced toward the crying, to discover some kind of purple sea monster crying like a baby and splashing the water uncontrollably which was causing the extremely crazy currents.
"Whoa what’s wrong with you, you’re crying so hard that you're making the river impossible to get though." Blaze ask the monster.
"Well, I don't know. I was just sitting here, minding my own business, when this tacky little cloud of purple smoke just whisked past me and tore half of my beloved moustache clean off, and now I look simply horrid." The sea monster replied then continued crying.
"Oh give me a break." Rainbow Dash said in a slightly irritated tone.
"That's all?" Applejack added.
"I heard of obsessed but your bat shit insane just for a moustache. You know what, I'm just going to sit this one out." Blaze said then sat down and leaned on a tree and went to sleep.
In Blaze's Perspective and Dream
As I close my eyes I start to dream I see a park people playing enjoying their lives smiling everywhere like not a single worry is given. It feel so comforting and relaxing I wish I could stay like this forever.
"I feel like I've been here before." I think to myself.
"Hey hotshot are you coming or not everyone is waiting." A female voice yells out which breaks my train of thought. When I look to see who called my one of my many nicknames it’s none other than Jenny.
"J...Jenny, what's she doing here." I think to myself. Half of me wants to run and kiss her but my other half is telling me that it’s just a dream and I'll make matter worse for myself.
"Mike are you ok you seem of?" Jenny asked in a concerned tone.
"Oh, I'm fine Jenny, let’s get going." I assure her, she shrugs and walks off with me following her.
We walk around the park seeing the perfectly cut grass, the pond with the ducks swimming around, and the tall trees giving everyone shade. We finally reach our destination there's an oak tree and under it a blue blanket on the ground with a picnic basket, cooler and small table on the side.
"I think I know what this is." I think to myself, then right on cue, the rest of my teammates jump out behind the tree and yell, "SURPRISE!!!"
"What's all of this about?" I ask.
"Well it's a congratulations on a first mission success picnic duh." Jason replied as he walked over to Mike giving him the manliest hug he could muster up.
"You did such a great job as team leader we thought you deserved this the most." Jenny said then pulled out a knife." Now who wants cake?"
"ME!!!" Jason and Rafik say simultaneously then look at each other only to look at the cake then back to each other. Then in flash they both bolted towards the cake with Jenny and Alex right behind of them and as usual Alex has his mask over and his favourite book out, he never changes.
I get ready to walk over until I hear an explosion, fly back, and feel debris hit me. I get up only to look in horror as all my friends are cut up, bleeding, lying, on the ground and not moving. I run over to then and see Jenny on her back I gently pick her up and she slowly regains her conciseness.
"W...Why didn't you save us Mike you could have saved us?" She asked while tears are rolling down her eyes.
"Jenny I..." I was about to tell her until I hear a familiar laugh. I look up and see Decker floating in the air with an RPG in his hand.
"Ha, you can't save anyone what makes you think you can save yourself from this Nightmare Moon?" He say then dashes at me and stabs me causing me to jolt awake.
Back at The Everfree Forest still Mike or Blaze's Perspective
"JENNY!!!!!"I yell while wake up to everyone looking at me also the sea monster looked happy and Rarity had a short tail. This has to be one of the weirdest wakeups I have ever seen. It even worse than the time I found a Zebra in my apartment.
"What happen?" I ask Twilight who gives me a smug look then say's.
"Well if you were awake you might had known." In here annoyed attitude tone then walked off have I ever mention her attitude is starting to piss me off.
"Um Rarity gave her tail to the sea monster so he feel better about himself." Fluttershy says.
"Thanks for the info Fluttershy." I say giving her a small smile while we crossover.
"Oh no problem, but if it's ok with you who is Jenny?" She ask getting the rest of them look at me. Once I heard that name my smile dropped.
"Old history, I don't want to talk about." I reply in the coldest tone. Everyone has a concerned look but shrug and continues to walk.
"Um ok sorry for asking you I didn't mean to get into your business."
We walk for a while and to be honest everything looks almost the same to me until I see Rainbow Dash holding Twilight's tail as she on the edge of a cliff that has loads of fog. I couldn't help but wish she had fell off the cliff so I would have to deal with her attitude I mean she acts like she has her time of the month every day.
"So how do we get across?" Twilight asks everyone.
"There's a bridge on the other side if we can get someone on the other side then they can bring to back to us." I say then point towards the fog.
"What bridge all I see is fog. You're seeing things." Twilight say's.
"(Sigh) Rainbow Dash please go on the other side and get the rest of the bridge." I say as I start to massage my temples, then I think to myself," I wonder if she really can't see... I think I know the reason why now."
When I get out of my train of thought Rainbow Dash came back with the rest of the bridge and I repaired it to make it sturdy. When I finished I see that the girls already started to cross I follow behind, then I to see Applejack fall back to me and asks me,
"How did yah see that bridge over there Blaze?"
"Well Applejack my theory is since your equine your sight and sense of smell is not as strong mine."
"What in the hay does that mean?"
"Well it’s like this I have more predatory features than you like this..." I open my mouth and show her my carnivores’ teeth." My body is made for hunting and tracking so my vision is more advance than yours and my sense of smell."
"S...so you eat flesh?" She responds in a nervous tone.
"Yes but don't worry I don't eat ponies." I say giving her a reassuring smile.
I can see the castle up ahead and all of us start to pick up the pace. I can see the determination on the girls faces in a way I kinda respect that but determination and courage isn't going to be of any use against those Paradox soldiers, those guys are ruthless and fight dirty, we are going to have to be very tactical when fighting then. Just then I saw three of the Paradox soldiers stand in front of the entrance of the castle by instinct I jump in the nearest bush to stay out of sight and the girl follow.
“Keep quiet and stay here I’ll go and take down those guys.” I tell them as I’m about to take them out Fluttershy grabs my hand and tells me,
“Please Blaze don’t kill them.” She has this pleading look in her eyes.
“(Sigh) I’ll try but no promises.” I reply then dash out as fast as I can the first soldier sees me and is about to pull his assault rifle on me but I kick it out of his hand (guess he should have brought a strap) after I disarm him I throw three quick but hard jabs to his face and finish him off with a jump kick to the face. He drops to the ground with thud alerting the other two, then they start to rush me. The first on the right pulls out his knife which I slap out of his hand then I karate chopped him in the throat which stunned him after that I kick sweep him off his leg and finished him with an axe kick to the stomach. The last one appeared to be a girl but that doesn't mean I’m going easy on her, she already has out her revolver and knife and tries to stab me but I back away and kick the knife out of her hands (damn everyone is getting disarmed today, man I am on a roll) then she tries hit me with her gun but I grab her arm and throw her on the ground and keep her in a spinal lock.
“Where the other one there is four of you and I only see three.” I say
“Go fuck yourselves.” She responds which only makes me put a tighter hold increasing the pain.
“Where is your other comrade?” I say in a more intimidating tone. “Don’t make me have to do something you'll regret.”
“(Sigh) He’s inside the castle with Nightmare Moon, that’s all I know we were just given order to guard outside.”
“See was that so hard.” I say then Vulcan neck pinch her letting fall unconscious.
After that throw down I see the girls coming out of the bush. They all seem surprise at what I’m capable of but what they expect I’m not going to ask them to move nicely do I look like a girl scout. Just then Rainbow Dash flies towards me and says,
“That...was...AWESOME!!!!” She has this face that in a way look kinda adorable.” Where did you learn to fight like that?”
“That’s not important right now, but I think I know where your elements are we need to get inside.”
I open the door to find a statue with these stone orb’s all of us look in awe then Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash decide to take the orb’s down once they got all of them Twilight started do her magic thing. To be honest I still can’t believe magic exist but for now I’m just going to go with the flow because I don’t know jack.
“Well I’m going to look for the last soldier later.” I say then walk out.
“What you’re leaving us here aren't you going to stay and help.” Rarity say’s
“Help and do what use the magic I don’t have or how about I let the Paradox escape and kill everyone else.” I reply then walk out though the next door.
I walk through a this corridor for about ten minute and I’m already tired of it the same old bricks and damaged pictures almost feel like I’m going in circle but I made a mark on one of the wall’s which I don’t see any more so that mean I’m heading somewhere. Just then I hear a gunshot and glass shatter, looks like I found my target. Following the sound I came up to a wooden door, slowly and silently opening up I cautiously walk inside to find the room empty.
“But that can’t be unless he's behin…” My train thought was cut off by a force being pushed toward my back sending me flying to the ground.
“So you're the legendary Blaze the one that slayed the unstoppable Saint and insane Decker.” A voice say’s behind.
I see the last Paradox soldier but something different about him he’s wearing his standard black and grey Paradox fatigues but it’s his eyes are black and filled with complete darkness. Next to him is a black mare she in light blue armor like the princess she has a horn and wings but even with those extra appendages I can sense her evil.
“Who are you two?” I ask.” You don’t seem like the others.”
“I have to go and dispose of those annoying ponies take care of our guest please.” The mare say’s completely ignoring my question then vanishes in a white light.
“Well look like it’s just you and me Blaze.” He say’s then pulls out his two knives. “And before I kill you I might as well tell you my name it’s Delta 42.”
Delta 42 dashes at a quick speed but I manage to draw my tomahawk and knife. He starts with some slashes which were pretty fast I was lucky enough to dodge and block them all, I then attacked with my own slashes with my tomahawk he dodge them like they were nothing.
“How does he make it look so easy it like he just enhanced his body with some kind of super serum?” I think to myself, then he kicks me in the rib the pain is sharp I think it’s broken I also think he might of hit an organ to because I’m coughing up a little bit of blood but I need to push through anyways I fly towards the wall slamming into my back.
“Aww did I break your wittle rib Blazy?” He said in a mocking tone. “Thank to Nightmare Moon my abilities are superior to any human.”
“What (cough) do you mean thanks to Nightmare Moon?” I ask as I wipe the blood from my mouth and weakly stand up.
“When we arrive in this dimension we bumped right into her, she saw potential in us and told us that if we join her we can have all the power and riches that we desire, I agreed as you can see, and since I am the leader she gave me this power in exchange for my knowledge of battle and her allegiance everything I know she knows it’s almost like were the same person but enough about that TIME TO DIE!!!!!!” He yell’s then lunges at me.
Time slows down everything around me moved almost at a standstill a I can think is ‘what do I do’, just then an idea pops into my head I ready don’t want do it but I can’t think straight the pain is making me not think straight so let’s do this time comes back to normal as Delta 42 is just inches away, I do a split dodging his knives and then punching in the groin.
“AHHHHHHOOHOOHOHOO!!!!!” He howls out in agonizing pain grabbing his crotch and falling on his knees. “You bastard that was a cheap shot”
“A cheap shot that is going to stop you from killing me.” Then jump up and axe kick him making his face slam into the ground and knocking him out. ”Thank you Mortal Combat.”
I look at the now unconscious Delta 42 I decided to cuff him up to a nearby pillar. When I’m done I see that same white light flash and Nightmare Moon appears but she not alone, Twilight is there and it looks like she’s started to fight her I can see some bruise and she look exhausted, so if Delta 42 is telling the truth then Twilight is as dead as that avatar movie in the 21st century.
“Wait why should I worry for Twilight she’s a thorn in my side since I got here?” I think to myself but my conscience tell me, “Because it’s the right thing to do.” And my conscience is right dammit oh well better go and help.
“So it looks like the one known as Delta 42 failed me I presume to bad he was such a warrior probably a good mate too bad, well it’s time to die.” Nightmare Moon say’s in the most sinister voice.
“(Huff) Blaze (Huff)?” Twilight manages to say.
“Thought you might need some help.” I reply “Stay here and see if you can get those elements to work.”
“How did you know do I didn't get the element to work?”
“Well she’s still here. ”As I point to Nightmare Moon.” So that means that it didn't work, just get it to work will yah that won’t be too hard.” Then I stand up and walk toward Nightmare Moon, stopping and giving her a serious look.” I’m your new opponent lets fight right now.”
“So be it, it doesn't matter who I fight you all will die and the night will last forever.” Nightmare Moon replies. “Are you ready?”
“Let’s do this.” I say then crack my knuckles. As I do that Nightmare Moon shot an energy blast at me but I dodge it, but she shoots more of them I simple dodge those doing back flips, front flips, and rolls.
“I can the she getting frustrated by not finally hitting so I’ll use it to my advantage.” I think to myself. “It’s proven that your I.Q decreases when you're frustrated or upset.”
Nightmare Moon fire an extremely powerful energy blast this one is huge but I'm still able to dodge it so I roll out of the way and pull out my Phoenix tomahawk and combat knife then I got into my combat stance and said;
"Is that the best you got, Nightmare Moon? A blind person would make a better shot than you." Nightmare Moon growled at him and said;
"You pathetic mortal, you haven't seen what I'm capable of!"
"I'm no pathetic mortal; my name is Captain Mike McKay aka The Blaze leader of the Fire Wolves." I reply "Man I can't believe this is happening, and just think a few hours ago I was on Earth."
I rush at her and swing my tomahawk, instantly she jumps back but I manage to get a cut on her cheek.
“Raaagh you little foal I will get you for that, I am a goddess no one can beat me!!” she yell.
“Well I got news for you Nightmare gods don’t bleed.” I reply “So you're no god.”
“Ahhhh I hate you.” She yell then rushes me with her sharp nails and start to scratch all over, I manage to dodge most of them but that final blow caught me. Her nails were super strong that it tore up my vest, jacket, and skin. The vest was destroyed beyond repair but the jacket and my skin had claw marks but still intact to wear. I just threw the remains of my vest on the ground and returned to my combat stance only to find Nightmare Moon laughing.
“What’s so funny?” I ask “Have you lost it or something.”
“Oh I guess you don’t feel it.’ She replies.
“Feel what?”
“You see those cuts you have on your chest?” I nod ‘Well my nails have manticore poison in them which means that as we speak your body is failing on itself, your organs will stop working and you will pass out then die.”
“What!!!” I yell ”That can’t be.” Even now I start to feel my body weakening.
“Face it you lose.”
“Damn I can't hold this up for long but I’ll use every last bit of energy I have left.” I think to myself then rest of the girl coming up which breaks my train of thought.
“Blaze I found out how you use the element’s!!!!” Twilight yells at me.
“(Huff) that’s (Huff) great (Huff). I say feeling weaker at every second. “Use it!!!”Then I dash with all my might and hold Nightmare Moon down so she can’t move.
“What are you doing let go of me!!!!” She yell.
“GIRLS NOW!!!” I yell my vision is extremely blurry so all I can see are Rainbows then I feel the rainbow go right through me shoot me into a wall then I fall unconscious.
Twilights Perspective
With all that energy I used I passed out as I woke up I see a tiara with my cutie mark on it.
“Am I a princess?” Is the first thing I thought “Nah that never going to happen oh my Celestia we did it me and the girls did it, we actually stopped Nightmare Moon.”
I see that all the girls have necklaces of their cutie mar and I also see that Rarity’s tail is back. Just then Applejack come up to and tell me;
“Gee, Twilight! I thought you were just spoutin' a lot of hooey, but I reckon we really do represent the elements of friendship. ”
“Indeed you do.” say’s a familiar voice.
I turn around to see Princess Celestia standing there smiling.
“Princess Celestia!!!!” I yell then run to hug her.
“Twilight I knew you could do it.”
“But you told me it was an old pony’s tale.”
“I told you to make some friends nothing more I saw the signs of Nightmare Moons return and knew it was you who had the magic inside to defeat her, but you could not unleash it until you let true friendship into your heart.” She explains to me. “Now if only another will as well. Princess Luna!”
The alicorn mare know a Princess Luna jumps a little I guess she still scared of what just happened then Princess Celestia say’s,
”It has been a thousand years since I have seen you like this. Time to put our differences behind us. We were meant to rule together, little sister.”
Wait sister I did not see that one coming well buck. And it looks like everyone in the room is just as surprised as I am. Luna look down for a bit then starts crying.
“Will you accept my friendship?” Princess Celestia asks as she reached out her hand.
Prince Luna grabs Princess Celestia hand and hugs her tightly and say’s,
“I’m so sorry! I missed you so much, big sister!”
“I missed you too Luna.” Celestia replied as she also cry with tears of joy. This is such a touching moment I almost want it to last forever.
But then Blaze comes out of the rubble getting everyone attention he’s clutch his chest and he looks pretty banged up I should help him wait why do I even care he’s been a pain in my flanks since I have met him plus he ruined a touching moment.
Blaze Perspective
I awake to find myself covered in rubble I still feel extremely weak but I need to get out or else I’ll suffocate so crawl out my chest in so much pain but I need to keep going. As I make it out I see the girls, their Princess, and a smaller unicorn pegasus in the room looking at me they all have tear in their eye’s but are smiling so I say;
"Great every turn out great so I’m going to pass out now, good bye feeling in my body.” Then I drop on the ground and blackness takes me.
