Chapters Putting The Who Back In Doctor Whooves
(A/N: The main character starts off as a Mary Sue but I try to fix that in later chapter. Please don't judge the story by the first few chapters)
Defenders of Equestria
Introduction. Putting the Who in Doctor Whooves
It was a cloudy day in the small town where this story begins. I was standing in my driveway next to my parents. My mother was crying and my father was starting to tear up, but he held it in. A blue phone booth sat in the middle of the street in front of us. The door slid open and a man in a trench coat and a hat, which covered his face in shadow walked out. He walk up to me and asked,
“Are you ready?”
“Yeah.” I replied. I walked over and hugged both my parents one last time. The man and I started walking towards the phone booth. As we walked the man tripped, I caught him and kept my arm around him to guide him the rest of the way.
“You almost just blew our cover, man.” I whispered.
“Sorry, but I’m not used to walking like this.” He replied angrily. We got inside and I closed the door behind us.
“It’s true what they say, about it being larger on the inside.” I said looking around. The interior of the booth was massive. The man threw the hat off his head and fell on all fours.
“Your friends are over there.” He pointed at a couch with his hoof. There were two of my friends, and the first bronies I ever met. On the left side of the couch was Quann “Rainbow Crash X,” a man with no code of honor other then kill first ask questions never. Then, we have Mark “Flutt3rguy,” a man who will break your legs as fast as look at you. I should probably introduce myself, I’m Cooper “Spittie pie,” I’m a true warrior, I follow all codes of honor. I will never stab anyone in the back even if its my worst enemy. Some people would say this is a stupid way to live. But, I’m still alive aren’t I? Anyway, back to the story, I sprinted towards the couch and jumped over the back of it, landing in between Mark and Quann, which startled both of them.
“SPITTIE!” Yelled Mark in a happy tone.
“Sup?” I said in a calm tone holding out my hand. He gave me a high five and I turned to Quann. I stood up and saluted.
“Badass marine number eighty-seven reporting for duty sir!” I said in my best marine voice.
“At ease private.” he replied. He stood up and we bro-hoofed. He was almost a foot taller then me, as was Mark. We sat down and the man, or should I say pony, who had collected all of us walked in front of us. He took off the cumbersome trench coat that he had on. He had a dark brown mane and light brown fur, his cutie mark was an hourglass. His name was Doctor Whooves
“Now, to get down to business,” he said. His voice was deeper then I expected. “Discord has taken over Equestria, and this time he’s actually hidden the Elements of Harmony.”
“Can’t Twilight and her friends find them?” I asked.
“That’s another problem, he’s locked them in the Canterlot castle dungeon.”
“What about Luna and Celestia?”
“He’s banished Celestia to the sun and he keeps Luna for Celestia knows what.”
Quann started grinding his teeth, Luna was on of his waifus and non of us would let anything happen to our waifus.
“That’s where you all come in. With the fact that nopony can do anything, I decided to call in some outside help. Now follow me, I need to gear you guys up.”
“Gear up?” Mark questioned
“Yeah, you think I’m going to send you out to fight a god without a little help?”
We all walked down a hallway that forked at the end. One side had a sign that read “Armory,” the other read “Wardrobe.” First stop was wardrobe. As we walked in their were several things I recognized, but what caught my eye is what the Doctor was standing next to, a box that was outlined in blue lights. He opened the box, pulled out a jumpsuit made of black fabric and tossed it at me.
“That jumpsuit is made of Kevlar.” He said.
“How is this supposed to protect me, its not even that thick?” I asked.
“Well that’s supposed to go under this.” He replied, pulling out a pile of armor. My jaw dropped, I knew that armor like the back of my hand. V2 COG armor, the same kind Benjamin Carmine wears. It was tinted dark purple with gold trimmings.
“You can change in there.” He pointed a hoof at a small room. I ran to get changed. The outfit I had on consisted of a green sweat-shirt, a Metallica T-shirt, and cargo pants. I threw that off as fast as I could and threw on the Kevlar jumpsuit. It was a tight fit but it was comfortable. Then I threw on the chest piece, it was lighter the I expected. I had trouble putting on the leg and arm guards but figured it out, and to top it all of was the helmet. The cushioned inside fit snuggly on my head. I couldn’t see out of the optics. I smacked the side of the helmet and the optics sprang to life. I walked out of the room.
“Badass!” Quann shouted. His voice was muffled so I walk over to the doctor and said,
“I think there's something wrong.”
He said something that I couldn’t hear and motioned for me to kneel down. When I did he swatted the side of my helmet. The optics went dark and I couldn’t move. I could feel that I was starting to fall over. I could tell I hit hard from the pain that shot up my side. After about five minutes the optics lit up again and a voice said,
“Please wait while we reboot your system and diagnose any problems.”
A loading bar appeared and slowly filled up. After another five minutes of waiting the voice came on again and said,
“Diagnosis complete, have a nice day.”
“Yeah, you too bitch.” I said. I stood up to see Quann in his special made armor. A gold V2 nano suit, but where was Mark?
“Behind you.” A voice said as I was kicked in the back of the leg, forcing me to drop to my knees. I looked up and saw Mark appear out of thin air.
“Nice suit.” I said. The suit he had on was the Chinese stealth suit from Fallout.
“Good, now that you're up I can tell you the extra features of your armor.” the doctor started “For starters I is compatible with any technology. And also…”
“Hold up.” I said cutting the doctor off. I ran over to my old clothes, grabbed my iPod out of my sweatshirt pocket and held it up. Small wires came out of my armor and attached to the iPod.
“Installation complete.” The voice said. A translucent iPod screen appeared in my optics. I clicked the song “Pinky Piggy” by The Living Tombstone. It said it was playing, but I couldn’t hear anything. I turned the volume all the way up, but still nothing. I realized what was wrong and grabbed the headphones out of my sweatshirt. The wires once again came out and connected to the headphones. Once it said, “Installation complete” the music, which was on full volume, started blasting in my ears. I instantly paused the music, and turned it down. I walked back over to The Doctor and said,
“Please continue.”
“As I was saying, it also has two vision settings, thermal and night vision, to circle through the visions just tap on your right temple.” I did so, circling through the visions with ease.
“I see you installed headphones, they double as speakers.” He said. He stood up on his hind legs and put his hoofs on the circles on my chest and turned them clockwise. The plates separated revealing two sub-woofers, one in each side.
“To put them away, just turn them counter-clockwise.”
“Thanks Doc.” I replied.
“Don’t call me that.” He said in a low frustrated tone.
“Okay, anything else, Doc?” I said mockingly.
He let out a grunt before saying,
“Yes, you also have three voice settings. One that allows you to speak through your new speakers, another completely mutes you from the outside world, and the last is so you can talk to your friends. To go through these there is a knob on the back of your helmet.” I reached around to the back of my helmet, turned the knob to the communication setting, and said in a trucker accent,
“Breaker one nine this hears the duck, we got us a convoy.” Both Mark and Quann looked at me. Even though they had helmets on, I could tell they both had expressions of disappointment on their faces. The Doc walked to the door and motioned for us to follow. We walked into the armory. It was the same as wardrobe but instead of cases for clothing, their were cases for weaponry. The Doctor walked up to a Halo U.S.M.C. case and opened it. Inside there were about two dozen Halo snipers. He struggled to pick one up and handed it to Mark.
“That, good sir,” he said painting “is a standard U.S.M.C. .50 caliber sniper rifle.” Mark lifted the gun up to eye level. He grabbed the barrel, when he did so something slipped. A red light shone from under the barrel. A low pitched humming slowly grew louder. My eyes widened as I realized what it was. I ducked as the read laser shot by my head.
“Oh, and it also has a miniature Spartan Laser on the under barrel.” The Doc said. “When you push it forward that activates it and begins the firing mechanism, just pull it back to stop it.” Next we walked over to what seemed to be a normal weapons cabinet. Inside was a very futuristic looking weapon. It had a blade a little shorter then my arm. It was attached to a red rectangular shield. Quann pushed both me and Mark out of the way and grabbed it. He slipped his arm its place and began to swing the sword around. He flipped his arm down and the blade swung on a pivot and stopped parallel to his arm, and then flipped it back up.
“I see your familiar with Gundam tech.” Stated The Doctor.
“I can spot anything Gundam from a mile away” Quann replied smugly.
“Good, so you know exactly what that is don’t you?”
“A GN sword fitted with Wing Zero’s shield.” He flipped the blade down once more and turned his arm sideways. The Doctor placed a hoof on his arm and lowered it.
“The canons going to be a last resort. Although the weapon is scaled down the blast isn’t.”
Quann nodded in acknowledgment. The Doctor walked over to a beaten up footlocker.
“ Cooper, you're a fan of Fallout right?” He asked.
“Indeed. Ever since I started reading Fallout Equestria I‘ve had a raging hard-on for it, metaphorically speaking of course.” I answered.
“Good, now pick this lock.”
He motioned his head toward the footlocker. I walked over and looked at it, then back to him, then back to it. I planted my foot in the side of the footlocker, making the metal contort around my foot. I placed my hands under the lip of the lid and lifted, ripping it off with ease. I bent it in half and threw it to the floor.
“Picking locks is for the weak.” I said smugly.
“Was that necessary!?!” The Doc asked in a shocked and angry voice.
Placing a hand on my chest, I replied, “Everything I do is necessary.”
He frowned and rolled his eyes. He walked over to the locker and fit a leather strap around his neck, which was attached to a small gun that resembled an AK-74. The grip and stock were ivory and it had two small clips on the right side of it. He flipped the strap over his head and caught it in his mouth, then tossed it to me.
“Chinese assault rifle.” I said with a satisfied grin, although no-one could see it with the helmet and all. “What are these clips for?”
“The bayonet.” He replied.
“Bay-on-et?” I asked. The next thing he pulled out of the locker made my jaw drop once again. A four foot long serrated blade, made of black metal. Each of the blades sharp teeth were tipped with red gem stones. No other then General Raam’s sword. I clicked it into place. To me it looked stupid so I asked,
“is there a sheath for this? I’d much rather use it as a sword than a bayonet.”
"Fine.” He replied with a low grunt. I could tell he didn’t like me and he wasn’t going to like needing to work with me. He found a sheath and gave it to me. I place it on my back so that the swords hilt would be over my left shoulder. I slid the sword into it's place.
“Well, we should be there by now. Follow me.” The doc said, walking towards the door to the Tardis. He slid it open and outside stood a crumbling stone structure. We appeared to be in the middle of a forest, which, because of that I knew we were at the Temple of the Two Sisters where the Elements of Harmony were once held.
Home Sweet Home.
A Very ‘Discord’inated Attack
Defenders Of Equestria chapter 1: A Very ‘Discord’inated Attack
I shivered, the breeze blew through the gaping hole in the temple wall. I was moving rubble outside, while whistling the Doctor Who theme, just to piss off Doctor Whooves. I had a large brick in my hand and was carrying it outside. I stopped in front of Mark who was leaning against the wall.
Sure enough I was back in an hour with a leg of a mantacore in my hands. Their was a fire going in the center of the entrance hall of the temple. I cut some meat off the leg and threw it in a pan over the fire. I had some cooking skills that I picked up from my mom who was a cook for most of her life. Each of us had a nice chunk of meat.
After finishing our meal we got ready for bed. I took of my armor and placed it in a neat pile next to my bedroll. The Kevlar jumpsuit was warm but not warm enough. I threw on my sweatshirt over the jumpsuit. I was the only one who incised on keeping my outfit.
I heard the door creek open and out of instinct I reached over and grabbed my sword. I stood up clumsily and held the sword at the ready. It was just the Doc. Both my companions were still asleep. I looked out the window. The sun was just above the tree line but, seeing as Discord is in control it could be anytime. I put the sword back in its sheath and put on my helmet to check the time. The helmet was fully equip with a HUD that tells time and temperature. It was only six thirty in the morning.
When I awoke I was no longer in the castle. The air smelled rancid and it was dark. My armor also felt heavier then before. My eye’s adjusted to the light and I looked around. I appeared to be in a cobblestone sewer. I looked at my armor. It was… glass? Yes, glass, Skyrim style glass armor. I threw off the chest piece . I had nothing on under it. My skin was a shade of green. But, it wasn’t skin, it was scales. I went over to the water of the sewer and looked at my reflection. I was an Argonian. I saw something start darting towards the surface from the depths of the water. I moved my head back as it breached the water. It was a Oblivion style Slaughterfish. I jumped back against the wall and curled up in a ball. Slaughterfish were my worst fear. Playing Oblivion at the age of eleven made me scared to go into the water of any game.
when I opened them again I was back in my body. My head was laying in a small puddle of blood. I sat up and looked around. Both my companions were back on their feet. They ran over and helped my up. Discord was leaning against a wall, soaked in his own blood. We all walked over to him.

Chapter 2: Character Development
I was taping my pencil on my helmet. The Doc gave me a duplicate to replace the busted up one. A blank notebook page sat in my lap. Their was so much running through my mind. After we had defeated Discord we got our names and pictures in the paper. I didn’t like the fame it brought. The first time I walked down the streets of Ponyville either the ponies walked up and thanked me or just stared. The words I was looking for finally came to my head,
I went to the ridge just over the bridge outside of Ponyville. I was pissed, the long walk gave me time to build up my rage. I walked up and kicked the tree.
Next thing I know I was standing on a stage in front of hundreds of ponies. Vinyl’s voice erupted over the speakers placed throughout the club,
I was awoken when an acorn that fell and hit my head, Then another. Then a mailbag feel and hit me in the groin. I keeled over from the pain then feel on my side. Through my pain I read on the side of the mailbag “Property of Derpy Hooves”. That took a bit of the pain away.
Dear Cooper,
I would like to you and your friends to meet me in Canterlot to discuss important matters. My student Twilight and her friends will be attending as well. Enclosed with this letter are train tickets for the three o’clock today.
From,
Princess Celestia
I switch to the radio setting and said,
After the short train ride to Canterlot we walked down the crowded streets filled with upper class ponies.
After saying “hi” to some of the ponies that showed up, trying avoid having an awkward conversion about “Hey I saw you two banging last night.” with Lyra and Bon-Bon, and having a ton of snacks, I decided it was time to go to bed. I slipped away from the party to my room. I took my shirt off and threw it on the floor. I put my helmet on the dresser next to my bed. I slide under the covers and tried to fall asleep.
"Discord, I'm howling at the moon and sleeping in the middle of a summer afternoon. Discord what ever did we do make you take our world away." I sang along with my music. I was sitting on the front porch of my new home scrubbing my helmet. A mare was staring at me from the street. Probably because I didn't have a shirt on. I looked up at her and she turned away embarrassed with a red blush on her face. I brushed my hair out of my face to see Doctor Whooves walking towards the porch.
I met up with Crashie and Mark at the edge of the forest. Crashie was leaning against the door of the Tardis. I've only seen one episode of Doctor Who so I didn't know much about it, only that is practically indestructible. The door opened, and the Doctor motioned for use to come inside. We all took a seat on the couch in front of the large terminal. Doctor Whooves hit some buttons and the Tardis made its iconic teleporting sound.
My vision was gritty. Like I was in a horror film. I was running though the streets of Canterlot, of at least someone was. I had no control over what I was doing. The buildings were on fire. Dead bodies of ponies filled the streets. What the hell happened? The person I was in was running toward the castle. He barged through the double doors of the main hall. Dead bodies of the royal guard were thrown about the room. All brutally murder. It seemed that either they were dismembered or disemboweled… or both.

Chapter 3: Clop 'Til You Drop
I awoke in the treehouse. The crusaders were all laying onto of me, still asleep. that brought a smile to my face. I laid their and thought about the dream I just had. Was this what was going on back home? I wanted to get back to my Equestria as fast as possible. The crusaders and I walked back into Ponyville, or at least what was left of it. At least half the houses in town were destroyed. it's a wonder how we didn't hear this going on. The Doc's voice cracked over the radio,
After checking on Canterlot to make sure it wasn't like it was in my dream, I took the Five hour walk back to Ponyville. It was night-time by the time I got back. I decided I was going to sleep in the apple orchard for the night. I started walking into the orchard when I saw the light of the treehouse. I walked over and peaked in the window. I saw the Cutie Mark Crusaders.Tears of happiness formed in my eyes as all the sadness in my heart just floated away. I feel asleep laying against a near-by tree. I will never let anything harm those girls.

Chapter 4: I Need An Ice-pack
"Hey Big Mac, can I ask you a question?" I asked.
After about a hour and a half nap I got up. I was still in unbearable pain. I thought about going to the doctor. But they would just tell me to Just eat a fuckin' sandwich.
After the short train ride to Canterlot. I went to the castle. I walked right passed the guards, who didn't appear to give a fuck anyway. I started to walked to towards the study where I expected the princesses to be, when I saw the throne. I walked over to it, looked to see if their was anyone around, and sat in it. It was one of the most comfortable chairs I had ever sat in. I decided to entertain myself by proclaiming,
The next morning I woke up to find both Celestia and Luna standing over me.

HIGH SCORE
After the few minute of Tardis travel time we were there. I don't know where but we were there. The Doctor trotted over to the door and opened it. I decided I was going to jump out and surprise whoever was out there. I backed up to get a running start. I ran and jumped. When my first foot hit the ground it got stuck in thick mud, which caused me to act like a catapult and face-plant into the ground… hard. I pushed myself out of the muck and looked up. In front of me stood a large, half finished statue of Discord. I heard something trekking through the mud behind me.
Spoiler Alert: COG In Motion
Defenders Of Equestria
"Ground-walker." said a gruff low voice. I stood up and casually brushed the mud of me, even though a large, grey-skinned, reptilian creature was pointing a shotgun at me.
"Keep an eye on him." Discord said to the two theron guards. I was now armed to the teeth. I had one boltok, 2 snub pistols, a retro lancer, my sword, and an assortment of grenades. I gave the order for the guards to follow me. They shot daggers at me but complied. We walked into the forest. We came upon what was once Zecora's shack. It had since been ransacked. I ordered the guards to go check it out while I stayed outside. After they were both inside I pulled out a smoke grenade and tossed it through the window. The white smoke erupted from the small cartridge, blinding both of the guards. I tapped the temple of my helmet, activating thermal vision. I walked into the shack and stood between the guards, who were flailing about trying to feel their way. I pulled out the two snub pistol, aimed one at each of them, and emptied the magazines into their chests. I heard the thud as their lifeless bodies fell to the floor. I slipped the empty mags got and put new ones in. I deactivated the thermal vision as I stepped out of the shack. I proceeded to walk in the direction of Ponyville.
The train hit its emergency breaks and skidded to a halt. I turned off my music just in time to hear gunshots and screaming coming from further up on the train. I climbed the ladder that was on the back of the caboose. I peaked my head out over the top of the train and say that we were only about a half a mile from Manehattan. I climbed down the ladder and looked through the window on the door of the caboose. I could see a squad of locust drones slaughtering the passengers. I pulled out my pistol and took a few shots at them to get their attention. They immediately turned their attention to me, charging through the train cars to get to me. I climbed the ladder and planted a frag grenade at the top. I waited for the first drone to attempt to climb up, and watch as he was blow to smithereens. I pulled the retro lancer off my back in anticipation for the next drone. I saw him start to ascend onto the roof and shouted,
The streets of Manehattan were littered with bodies. I knelt down to inspect one of the bodies. As I did so a bullet wised over my head. I combat rolled into a nearby alleyway. I tried to stick my head out to see where he was but, ever time I tried a bullet would fly past my head. I saw a family run out into the street. The sniper picked of the mother, then the father. The small colt was stranded and had nowhere to run. I had to help him. I sprinted out into the street and scooped him up. I tried to run to another nearby alleyway. I heard the crack of they shot before I felt it. An immense pain shot through my thigh and I fell to the ground, the small colt still in my arms.
"I have no idea who he is." a squeaky voice said as I regained consciousness. I opened my eyes and let the adjust to the light. Benjamin and seven ponies were standing over the bed I was in. My wounds were bandaged and I was in the sleeping compartment of a train. All I had on was my jumpsuit, which was around my waist. I tried to sit up but a sharp pain shot through my leg. I let my body drop back down onto the bed but, doing that, another sharp pain shot through my arm. I started fake weeping,
"Discord knows what you did, Discord knows what you did." a voice sing-songed from the black abyss of my mind. I couldn't see anything. From my encounter with Discord when I first came to Equestria, I learned how to control my mind. I snapped my fingers and a street lamp appeared next to me. The noir black mare stepped into the light. I snapped my fingers again and a large velvet chair appeared behind me.
I was awoken by the sound of the train's breaks hissing as we came to a halt in Ponyville train station. I sluggishly rolled out of bed. Everyone else was already awake. I stumbled my way through the compartment. I slid the door open and stepped into the compartment holding all of my equipment. I strapped my guns and sword to my person and stepped out onto the platform. Everyone else was already waiting on the platform. We all walked together into town. I struck up a conversation with Benjamin about his brothers to pass the time. We went to Sugercube Corner for a treat. I sat down at a table with Twilight and Fluttershy.
After a few hours of negotiation I convinced Discord not to take over Equestria and send the Locust back in exchange for the ownership of the Everfree forest and the ability to cause chaos within the forest.fire . The first drone throw a right hook at me. I ducked under it and delivered an elbow to his temple. The second tried to kick me I caught his leg and pushed as hard as I could on his knee, causing it the bend in the wrong direction. The other drone tried to punch me once again and, once again, I ducked under it. He punched the locust that I was holding the leg of in the face. I drove that drone's leg into the gut of the first. He leaned over and I spun around and drove the heel of my boot into his temple. The drone with the broken leg pulled out a knife and took a few swings at me. I duck under one and broke his arm over my shoulder. The bone popped out of his skin and he dropped the knife. I picked it up and slashed his throat. He fell, chocking on his own blood. The remaining drone had picked up the Hammerburst from his fallen comrade. He fired three shot before I was upon him, each doing little to no damage. I stuck the knife into his abdomen and dragged it across. He dropped to his knee's and stared up at me, a small river of blood running from the corner of his mouth. His eyes screamed "please kill me" and I was more than happy to comply. I drove the knife into his skull and swiftly pulled it out. I looked up to the balcony and saw Kreikie standing next to a Locust sniper. He stepped into the shadows as the sniper took aim. I rolled and dodge the shot. I took cover behind the curtains. I saw a door that led to a stairwell that would lead me to the balcony where the sniper was. Their was only once problem… it was on the other side of the stage. I sprinted as fast as I could to the door. The three shots that the sniper fired all missed. I climbed the stairs to the balcony. Kreikie was nowhere to be found but, the sniper was still there. The sniper was still looking down the scoop at the stage. I flipped the knife so that I was holding it backhanded. I was about to drive that blade into the sniper's head but, something caught my eye. The Longshot he was using wasn't ordinary, their was a red streak that keep running down the length of the weapon.
"We're here." the Doctor said after a few minutes. He lead me out the door. A gust of wind almost knocked me off my feet. I looked around. We were… moving? I looked down and realized I was on the top of a caboose. But where was the rest of the train? An earth shaking crash rumbled from the canyon below. I recognized this but, I couldn't but my finger on it. Then, it hit me. My heart began to race. I turned to the Doctor but he was already gone. I wanted to scream but I couldn't, if I did I would die in a hail of gun fire from the passengers in the caboose below. I took a few deep breaths and relaxed myself. I sat down and decided to brush up on what was about to happen. Thank Celestia that I had an audio book of this story. I opened my Ipod menu and started from the beginning.
I causally walked through the streets of New Appaloosa. I had hitched a ride on a wagon the had been sent to retrieve the caboose. They were surprisingly welcoming after I explained to them who and what I was. Now I was in this small settlement made from old boxcars. I spotted 'Absolutely Everything', Derpy Hooves' shop. I was about to walk through the front door when a sign cause me to stop. I squinted, trying to see the words through the grit and grim.
I pulled up a chair and sat down at a poker table in the New Appaloosa saloon. I slid my helmet off and placed it on the table.
Their was a defined splatter sound as I regained my vision. I was looking into a sink, which had blood splattered about it. The corners of my sight were blackened. I had no control over my movements.
I awoke to find myself in a small room. The walls were a light yellow. I was laying on a rather uncomfortable cot. I sat up and reached up to scratch my head. I heard a metallic clanging sound and looked down. My hands were bound by a set of rusty shackles. I looked around the room. Large iron bars blocked me from the entrance. I walk over and peered through the bars. A pony wearing a cowboy hat was asleep at a desk. Their was a shiny star pinned to his hat.
After helping pack up the wagons we hit the road. I was sitting on top of a batch of barrels, surveying the area trough my Longshot scope. I put the sniper across my lap and gave a thumbs up to Ditzy. She nodded and pulled out her notepad.
After running for a full hour I finally caught up to the caravan.
I hopped off the back of the wagon and walked towards the barn. I nudged the door open and saw Little Pip and Velvet Remedy huddled next to a filly. I looked around the room and saw a ball of swirling colors. I started walking towards it, unable to stop myself. I felt a tug on my belt and I snapped back to reality. I turned to see Calamity biting my belt.
I had left the caravan behind and had started following Little Pip and her entourage. I had left something for Ditzy back at Absolutely Everything.
Meanwhile, at the Legion Of Do… I mean, Absolutely Everything. Ditzy flipped on the light switch and trotted over to counter. On it lie a note and a strange tablet. The note read "Play Me". The tablet lit up and had a white arrow on it. Ditzy pressed with he hoof and a song started playing( [link] ). She sat on her haunches and listened.
I had been following Little Pip for a while now. I was attempting to stay hidden, but that was difficult because I had to stay far enough away that Little Pip's E.F.S. didn't pick me up and Calamity wouldn't see me when he did his fly-overs to scout the area. These are the times when I wish I had the MGS4 stealth suit. I was sitting on a ridge above an encampment made from old carrier train cars. I was playing music to keep myself awake. I had been following Little Pip for utmost of thirty miles. I looked up in the sky and saw God… sorry I mean Gawd. I watch as she landed in front of Pip and the crew and escort them into her fortress at gunpoint. I lazily dragged myself to my feet. I snuck around the compound to the back. Gawd's train car was located there. Some of the boards where old and rotted away, making it easy to peak through. I watched as Gawd led Little Pip, Calamity, and Velvet Remedy into the train car. I reached over to my Pip-Buck to turn off the music and listen, but when I looked they was a barrel pointed at my head. The pony wielding the weapon was saying something. I stopped my music.
"My lord, the changelings have broken through the Ponyville defenses. there is nothing stopping them from marching on Canterlot." a guard stated. I was once again seeing through the eyes of the unknown man. He was standing on a balcony staring over Equestria. Green flames raged over the land. He let out a sigh and turned to the guard.
I shot up in my pile of hay. I felt sweat running down my brow. I looked around the room and saw Velvet start trotting towards me.
