The Marked One

Well, this is death... just white? Well its better than total darkness. Wait, why can I feel my body? AND FUCK THAT'S A LOT OF PAIN!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" I yelled as I woke up.

I opened my eyes towards a blurry night sky. I was breathing heavily like after running 5 miles strait, my chest burned and everything else ached. My ears were ringing, blinking a few times I finally got clear view of the sky. To say what I saw was shocking was a under statement,

It was magnificent... I came so focused with it that I forgot the pain. I stared at it for a moment until the pain reminded me of my situation.

"Gaaaah." I slowly got to my feet only to fall. "Ow." I crawled over to a tree near by and lifted my self up while using it.

As I regained my balance I noticed that this defiantly was not The Zone... or any part of earth I've seen. The terrain was different, it felt different. I took a few steps forward and I began to get up to speed. I looked around until I saw a little glow in the distance. As loud as I yelled I am surprised that they didn't hear me... but it was about 2 miles away. Before we go on this "expedition" lets check our gear. my subconscious reminded me.

I removed my equipment to see what I had; I had my assault rifle with scope and taped magazines for easy reload, my trusty Big Ben pistol, steel knife, a few Army Medkits, Energy Drinks, plenty of ammo, Bandages, and food. After packing up my thinks low growling caught my ear. Spinning around bringing my rifle to bear I faced my opponents; mutated wolfs that were made out of wood. 'Then I must be in The Zone still.'

One jumped at me only for it to meet my right boot as I kicked it in mid air causing it to brake in half. Another one tried to jump at me but I aimed my rifle and shot it in mid air. *crack* It's head exploded into splinters sending sap and twigs everywhere. These things were fragile. The final one to attack me jumped into the air and bit down on my armor destroying its teeth. The others started to back off, now knowing that they can't harm me. They had a new found fear of me, so I decided to make them fear me more. Raising my rifle I shot another in the head ending in the same result as the last. They started to run into the forest as I continued to fire.

"Take that you Sukas!" is all I said. I looked back to the fire in the distance to see it fading away. Who ever was there heard the gun shots and probably got scared. I began to make my way down the hill only to stop a mile away when the fire was lit again. Slowly I pulled out my rifle and began to approach.

CMC

They were walking down a road to New Ponyville were it was Neutral but was a slum. This is were any'pony' would go to find peace but there lives were complete misery. Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle were just wonders going between town to town not really going anywhere. Babs Seed was in Manehattan when Pinkie took over and is most likely dead. Canterlot is ruled by Rarity, the Crystal Empire is ruled by Sombra and Twilight, Appleloosa is ruled by Applejack, Cloudsdale is ruled by Rainbow Dash, and Manehattan is ruled by Pinkie Pie. Manehattan is a nightmare, they have seen it before there is blood all over the walls and party decorations made out of ponies. It was a sickening place and no one went near it.

"Hey Applebloom, we should stop for the night." Scootaloo said.

"Yea, I reckon that would be best." Applebloom replied. (I have no idea how to do a southern accent.)

They walked off the road to were there was a space in the forest that we could put down a fire and tents wary of Blood Runners. They kidnap travelers at night and take em' to Canterlot were they bleed them. A very sad and painful way to die, not as bad as the way Pinkie does it though.

After setting up there tents they gathered by the fire.

"So, what do ya'll think when this might end?" Applebloom asked.

"I don't know, I just hope soon. I just want everything back to normal." Scootaloo responded.

"Well I heard that Luna and Fluttershy are searching for a way to revers this but no one knows were they are." Sweetie Belle cut in. Scootaloo grabbed an apple from her sack.

"Well, what ever gives them hope." Scootaloo said.

"[size=5]AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH![/size]"

"Wait, did you hear that?" Scootaloo asked.

"I didn't hear anything but my horn went numb." Sweetie Belle responded wile rubbing he horn. She blushed when see realized what she was doing.

"Anyway, I heard somepony yelling but how soft it was it would haft to be a while away." Scootaloo said.

"We can't help em', It was probably them Blood Runners." Applebloom said.

"True, but I still feel sorry." Scootaloo replied.

*crack!*

"Now did you hear that?" Scootaloo asked, they began to scan the area with their ears turning different directions.

*crack!*

"Anothe...?"

*crack!*

*crack!*

*crack!*

"That is not a normal musket!" Applebloom said.

"How can you tell its not a group?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"I can tell do to how rapid it was and Earth Ranger squads only have 3." Applebloom responded.

"Well, what should we do? Pack up and get out of here because you know what Earth Rangers do to Non-Earth ponies." Scootaloo said.

"I know but what if it is something different?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"It could but what if its hostile?" asked Applebloom as she picked up her Sword.

"But what if it's friendly?" Sweetie proposed.

"You know we can't take that chance!" Applebloom countered.

"Well, I'm going to see what it is." Scootaloo went over to her bag and grabbed her Spy Glass and walked into the clearing. When she looked trough it her mouth dropped, she was not suspecting to see a Tall creature in some strange yellow, black and green armor.
