The dead move.

(*Pov of Swift hooves.*)

I woke up to being on somepony else's back, not a very comfortable situation at all. "Whhhyyyy do I keep doooing these things!"

"I assume it's either because you're a dumbass, courageous, or a combination of both." Oh...yeah, I was with others now...

"I'm not sure if I should take that as a compliment, or an insult."

"Well I hope you take it as an insult." This was the stallion that had a voice like gravel going down a trash grinder. "You got one of ours killed, she was the only one that had a large amount of medical training. So you either help us out, or we kick your ass and don't help you."

"Sir! That is not how we work." This was the Pegasus, how the Tartarus do they fly if the suit covers their wings? "We are meant to protect the people and do our best to keep the peace, it is not his fault that Battle wound got bitten!"

"I'm sorry, but did you just raise your voice to me?" OH shit, this stallion was scary as FUCK! I could practically feel the anger coming off of him...and he was in the front of the three...why am I still on top of the other two?

"Yes I did."

"Seems like you're forgetting a part of that sentence Sergeant!" Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck, this was not the place to be, not now, something told me that these ponies were fucking dangerous!

just then the other one carrying me began to snicker...slowly turning into full out laughter. The other two joined her, eventually simmering down.

"Oh my gosh, dude, I could feel you squirming on top of my, wow, you really fell for that, ya know if I weren't so good with a bow I think I could have been an actor." That was the Pegasus, right after the other one carrying me began to speak.

"Oh yeah, I bet that would have been tons more fun and would have trained you to survive better in this situation, sure." Well, looks like we have another person like storm here, great. "Although I bet your acting would have gotten so terrible that these things would have thought you were already brain dead!" Okay, so a sense of humor...slightly darker than usual but I'll take it!

"Okay so, could you two let me down?" They looked towards each other...not a good sign, they then sidestepped the Pegasus to his left, the earth pony to her right. "Ooof, you two suck...all of you suck, everything sucks!" They began to snicker again. "Did I mention that you suck?" I began to get up, while doing so they stopped walking to wait for me to get up, time to impress them.

In one fluid motion I rolled forward, somersault style ( Extremely uncomfortable. ), grabbed one of the maces of the one in the lead in my mouth and readied my left hoof blade, I aimed the blade at the other earth pony, and then I began a swing towards the Pegasus but stopped it short of his neck, they had no time to react.

"...well...shit kid, you're better than you look."

"Yeah but not quite good enough or some shit right?" I asked because I was willing to bet money that they had some kind of trick up their sleeve, these were trained guards ponies after all.

"No, not really, in fact we probably would have gotten hurt...not! Dude, look at what we are wearing, our weapons are good, but only his maces" the Pegasus gestured towards the unicorn. " would actually do some damage to the suits."

"...Crap, you're right, but against a non-armored pony I would have kicked so much flank!" While saying this I had relaxed and began to walk next to the earth pony.

Now the earth pony began to speak. " Yeah, but to be fair once again, they would not have our weapons and something tells me that you can't use both of those hoof-blades at once, and what if it gets caught on something inside the body, hmmm, then the other two can come over and bash your brains in."...I don't know how feel about her.

"Okay, well enough fucking around. What's your name?" That was the unicorn, he had turned around to look at me.

"I am Swift hooves." I then posed with my right fore hoof in the air, I hope my mane looks right, it feels like it's flowing in the wind, yeah, yeah it's alright.

While I was so elegantly posed the earth pony came towards the Pegasus and motioned towards her helmet. "Help me get this damn thing off." He used his wings...wings should not be able to bend like that. What I was seeing was that his wings had joints or something in areas that other Pegasi just did not have them. It was like he had six total, three on each wing, the ones at the base of the wings for the heavy flapping, then ones in the middle, and lastly he had some just at the end that allowed him to manipulate things greatly, I guess that's how he uses a bow so well.

"Oh, so I see you noticed my wings?" I nodded my head while picking my jaw up from the ground. " Yeah the call it a birth" he then made what looked to be little quotation marks with his wings. "defect, but really I find it very helpful, it even lets me fold my wings up tighter than most other Pegasi. Pretty darn handy...quit staring."

With the helmet now off of the earth pony she had turned to look at my still posed form, and she began to laugh so loud I thought that the zomponies (deal with it.) in the center of the city would hear her! "Ah, haha, dude dude, oh sweet fucking Luna, dude, that is the worst pose I have ever seen, let alone this is like the worst time to be doing it too." She began to laugh...louder somehow.

"Well then, did you have to be so damn rude about it?"

"YES! That is the best way to do anything!"

"Ugh, well look, I have to go look for some other ponies, I had gotten that horde to follow me so they could get away." All three made a kind of triangle formation, apparently speaking to each other.

"Okay, we have discussed it, and we think that you are going to need help, we're coming with." Okay, this is not necessarily a bad thing.
