Project J

"Sir, he's failed."

"I should have seen this coming. How much longer do we have left?"

"78 hours sir. Shall we begin code 45?"

"Yes, awake subject 3. Now"

[SUBJECT 3]

I awoke from my cryo chamber, and pulled out the wires in my body. I pushed opened the cryo chambers door and was welcomed by captain Taylor, and several scientist, and saluted. "Sir, may I ask why I have been awoken?" I asked.

"Subject 3, subject J, or Jasper has finally broken. The ponies have captured him, and we're running out of time. I have awoken you because you are our best soldier, and the only one able to complete this mission." he said.

"Aww, I'm touched sir." I said and bowed. "So, what's my mission?" I asked, and walked to my gear.

"Simple, find Jasper, plant this chip into is head, and free him." he said holding up a small glowing chip."You must complete this mission without any of the ponies knowing that your there. Also, we have found Jaspers gauntlet, and armor. I want to retrieve them and bring them back to Jasper once you placed the chip into his head."

"Sounds easy enough, but one question. What's the chip do?" I asked putting on my armor.

"This chip injects small drones that will brain wash it's host, and have them under our control. Once they have entered Jaspers mind, he will continue project Omega."

"Sounds easy enough." I said twisting on my helmet. "Lets get started." My armor locked up, and my hud flickered on showing my life signatures, and weapon display.

*Welcome back Subject 3, I'm glade to see you again.*

"Hello V, and you don't need to talk like that ya know?"

*Yeah, I know, but it bugs you*

"Glade to see you didn't change." I said, and grabbed my XM8 Sniper, and my Beretta 92. I checked my ammo, and turned back to the captain. "Alright, lead the way sir." he nodded, and we made our way to the planning room. We surrounded a large table that had a hologram of Canterlot.

"Alright, here's how this is going to go down, you are going to take a stealth fighter down to Equestria and land near Canterlot. Once you have landed, you are to sneak in and move straight to the palace, and retrieve Jaspers things. Once you have done that you are to find Jasper, plant the chip, free him, and get back to the stealth fighter. Sound good?" I scanned the hologram, and looked over to the captain.

"Of course sir." I said nodding my head, and had V upload the hologram into my database.

"And if anyone see's you?"

"Have some fun." I said making a dark grin under my helmet. He nodded, and dismissed me. I exited the planning room, and made my way to the hangers. Once I made it to the hangers, a soldier came up to me and saluted.

"Sir, your fighter is loaded, and ready to go." he said, and led the way to my fighter. I thanked him, and jumped into the fighter.

"V, do a system check." I said.

*Life support, check. Weapons, check. Engines, check. All systems are all ready to go. Lets fly.*

I activated the fighter, and shot out of the hangers. Once I was out of the hangers, I activated the fighters stealth mood, and made my way to Equestria.

*Subject 3, be advise that once you enter Equestria you will lose contact with command.*

"Good, at least I don't have to hear a bunch of assholes barking orders at me."

*You know that they can hear you right?*

"Yep."

Soon I reached the planets atmosphere, and scanned for the best place to land. V found a place, and put a waypoint onto my hud. I flew to the waypoint, and landed in a small open space. I opened the cockpit, jumped out, and turned on my thermal vision. I scanned my surroundings. I switched back my normal vision, and sighed. "Ok V, where to?" I asked. Soon a waypoint appeared on my hud., and I jogged towards the waypoint. "Hey V, how could Jasper lose to a bunch of ponies?"

*Oh, that's right, you didn't hear.*

"Hear what?"

*The ponies brought Jaspers closes friend to Equestria to try and talk to Jasper, but since Jasper was to far gone, he killed his friend. We don't know if he did it on purpose, or if it was a mistake, but we do know that it was able make him finally snap.*

"Damn, don't that suck." I said shaking my head, and continued to the castle. It took me 3 hours of non stop running to make it halfway to my objective. I wanted to stop to check something, but couldn't because there were multiple dots on my motion tracker. They were moving as fast a I was, and were way bigger than me. As the time past they got closer, and closer. "V, can you identify what's following me?" I asked. She was quiet for a moment, and finally said something.

*It seems to be a pack manticores.*

"Manticores?"

*Yep, and I think they're hungry.*

"Fuck that, I'm not a fucking happy meal." said, and spun around activating my thermal vision. Sure enough, 5 Manticores slowly approached me. I smiled, and aimed my XM8 Sniper for the biggest one, and fired. As soon as I fired, the biggest one let out a roar of pain, and I fired again making it fall dead to the ground. When the big guy went down, his buddies came rushing out at me roaring. I was about to fire again, but another dot on my motion tracker appeared behind me. I spun around to see another manticore launching at me. I jumped out of the way, but as I did that another Manticore from behind hit me, and sent me flying through a tree, and dropped my XM8 Sniper. I quickly recovered, and pulled both my Beretta 92, and my steel combat knife, and charged at my prey. Once I was close enough, I jumped firing my Beretta, and plunged my knife into a manticores eye. It roared in pain, and tried to shake me off, but I was to thirsty for his blood, and twisted my blade deeper into his skull.

*3! Behind you!*

I looked back, and saw another manticore preparing to slash at me. I smiled, and jumped off as he was attempting to hit me. He hit his friend in the face, and knocking him to the ground. I bolted behind the confused manticor, pulled out a frag, pulled out the pin, and shoved it up his ass! Yeah, his ass. He let out roar before the grenade exploded, and was blown to bits. "Damn, what a way to go." I chuckled, and turned to the last 3 manticores. I cracked my neck, and knuckles, and charged. One of them was smart enough to run the other way, but the others were just so dumb, and charged. I fired my Beretta, jumped up into the air, and brought down my fist onto the right ones skull, and heard the satisfying sound of bones cracking. I flipped off of the manticore, and was tackled by his friend. The prick tried to take a bite out of my face, but I put my boots onto his chest, and launched him off. I jumped back to my feet, and sprinted towards the confused manticore. I jumped up onto the manticore, and brought down my blade into his chest, and gutted the bastard. He roared in pain, and attempted to knock me off, but was to weak. I pulled out my knife, put both of my hands into his wound, and split it open showing all of his organs. I reached down, pulled out his heart, and crushed it. My prey ceased moving, and I jumped off. I walked to my XM8 sniper, and picked it up. As I was picking up my weapon, I heard a moan of pain, and looked over to a manticore trying to drag it's self away. I smiled, walked over to the poor manticore, and put my boot on his head. I gave a dark chuckled, and looked into his eyes that were felled with nothing but fear. I put the barrel of my XM8 onto his skull, and pulled the trigger. "Bad kitty." I said, turned around, and walked towards the waypoint.

*Bad kitty? Really?*

"Oh come on, someone had to say it." I smiled, and continued to run to my objective. 'Oh this mission will be fun.'
