Chapters Equestria: Land of Horse and Man
Police officer,McGee Kennedy and his house wife, Carla Kennedy, live in Dashville with their son Timmy. They live nearby their relatives Carlos, Juliet and their son Jimmy. It was a usual Monday morning and McGee is dressed up in his police uniform. He walks downstairs and sees his wife, Carla, in the kitchen. She prepares breakfast for him and her son.
"Morning Carla. Hey, I"ll be going off early so I'll eat some breakfast with Carlos, okay?" asked McGee.
"Hi honey. Sure, be carefull out there," said Carla.
"Yea,make sure you take Timmy to school, okay?" answered McGee.
He gave his wife a kiss before walking out the door. He see's the same woods in front of his house everyday. When he was a child, he was always curious about what is hidden in the woods, but now, he ignores it everyday as he gets in his car for work.
He arrives in Dashville Police Department, his place of work. He steps out of his blue vehicle and see's his brother in his yellow sedan.
"Hey man, how's Juliet and Jim?" asked McGee.
"They're doing fine, how about Carla and Lil' Timmy?" Carlos said.
"Same here. C'mon, get your gear and meet me inside," McGee replied while walking into the building.
Inside,10 000 police forces on their duties and shifts. One of them, Carl Yanes, McGee's high school friend.
"Hey Carl, the commissioner here yet?" ask McGee.
"Mornin' McGee. Nope,not yet. Remember,reports by this noon," answered Carl.
"Bro! Where do you want this heavy sonova-,"
before he could finish swearing, McGee cut him off.
"On the table. Need help?" ask McGee mockingly.
" What is that even for, McGee?Is that why you need to see the commissioner?" asked Carl for the curiosity of that big piece of machinery.
"Yup. This may lead us to that mob that has been robbing banks and jewelry shops downtown," McGee said. Carlos's big machine is attracting eyes from everyone in the building.
"That commissioner better be here quick," said Carlos in a pissed attitude.
In the forest, there is a village that nobody has seen before, litterally. A village consisting of 100 ponies, including Princess Celestia's parents. They just have their baby Celestia and are very cautious with her, as she always walk dangerously close to the boundary of their village, where the humans live beyond the boundary. The ponies dislike the humans as they live with their technology that pollutes the environment and especially their weapons. The ponies live in a struggle with the fierce animals of the forest and water is really hard to get as the pegasi could get clouds at 6 500- 8 000ft . The pegasi hate one thing,and that's helicopters and airplanes etc. They need clouds for water and they need to be careful as the humans drive these monstrosities in the skies that reasons why the pegasi can't fly higher to get more clouds.. Even one mistake could either end the pony's life or the whole group will be revealed to the public. The people in charge are General Sword Clasher, King Eclipsor and Queen Stella. This three are in charge of the whole village and the peace of it's villagers.
Equestria: Land of Horse and Man
Chapter 1: Celestia Missing?
"Morning everybody!" greeted the Commissioner to his fellow officers.
Everyone greeted back to him,"Morning sir".
Carl stood up and told the Commissioner, "Morning sir. Mister McGee and his brother are in the office, waiting for you sir," said Carl.
"Okay, thanks Carl," replied the Commissioner. He opened the door and see his two most trusted police officers of all time.
"Hi guys, sorry I'm late. I just sent my two daughters to school. Thank you for waiting," said the Commissioner.
"Its okay. It's good that you have a television in your office," said McGee.
"Yea, now my back is gonna ache for a month now," Carlos said while rubbing his back.
"Sorry Carlos, this equipment is heavy and important for our investigation," the Commissioner explained.
Minutes Later...
The two brothers walked out of the office and continue their routine.
"Well,it's 8 in the morning already, wanna go on patrol?" asked McGee.
"Yea. Before that, can we go grab something to eat? I was to busy carrying that heavy crap to my car to even get some breakfast," Carlos said hungrily.
After that, they went to a restaurant from their childhood, "Aaron's Crib", located south of Dashville .
Then, the owner of the restaurant walked towards them and said, "Hey guys, long time no see,".
McGee and Carlos gave a handshake and a hug to their family friend. The scent of the city fading and the smell of fresh air from the forest overwhelmes the quiet restaurant.
"The usual please", said Carlos.
"Okay. Your back okay?" asked Aaron. Carlos explained from earlier about the equipment.
"Oh, well take this, it's good for backaches.". Carlos takes the medicine and thanked him.
Aaron turned his attention to McGee and asked, "McGee, remember when you were young, you always asked your parents about the forest all the time?", asked Aaron.
In the forest, the ponies are on their routine, getting some water from the river and the clouds, planting crops and troops patrolling the area. General Sword Clasher, leader of the Royal Guards around the village with 50-60 soldiers.
As Queen Stella stands out of her balcony for a brief moment, her husband came up and said, "It's 8:15 a.m., according to Sorceror Time. Ready for a check out on the boundary?".
Queen Stella looked back and look around the balcony, only seeing the presence of her husband and 2 guards.
"Good morning, my king. Yes, I'm ready," said Queen Stella.
Queen Stella is in charge of the pony community at daytime and her husband protects the quietness of night so his citizens could sleep peacefully, besides the sound of planes that ravaged throughout the night sky.
The queen and king always check on their 2 month-old baby pony, Celestia, before going out with General Sword Clasher for animals or humans lurking around the boundary of the village. Even if they are humans, what are their reasons to be here? That doesn't concern them, as they are just patrolling their territory for criminals that run away into the forest or for some other reason. For safety reasons maybe. As the couple left, Celestia escaped her crib again, like everytime her parents go out. They always put guards around but somehow got put to sleep everytime. They even put alarm triggers around the room for her but always get disabled by her magic. She escapes out the building but this time, no pony saw her and she is dangerously close to the part of the boundary where there are no guards and leads to the human town that her father sees every night. She crawls under the wooden fences and into the dense woods. When she got out of the forest, miracaly unhurt, she came across a road and a smell of food being cooked from a nearby premise. She see's 3 figures in it that had words on a metal box and a metal object beside her with black round things around it. She looked around the object around for a while and accidently teleported in to the car.
"Ooooohhhh, I'm full. Thanks for the food, Aaron,"-- McGee takes out 15$ --"15$.There you go Aaron", said Carlos and McGee.
Aaron gave a 'you're welcome' and a goodbye. They walked to their car parked on the other side of the road. They are surprised that all the doors are not locked.
"Hey, I swore I locked the doors when we left," exclaimed the police officer in shock.
"Well, it looks like nothing got stolen," Carlos replied.
McGee checked and gave a sigh of relief and turn on the radio. By the time the door shut, they heard a soft sneeze behind them. They both turned their heads slowly towards the back and saw a small, pink haired creature. They both opened their mouth in awe and shock. Both of them don't know what exactly is that creature in the back seat. It has a bit of horse-like features and, HORNS ANND WINGS!!!!! Both of them looked at each other, and the small creature somehow teleported onto McGee's lap.
"WHOA! What the--!?", said McGee in shock.
"It looks like it likes you, brother," said Carlos , looking at the creature rubbing against McGee's body for body warmth.
"What is this creature, and where did it come from? The wings of a bird and a horn of, something,"
The 2 brothers talked about the cute creature and where did it came from while the radio plays on.
Then the police radio came on, "ATTENTION ALL UNITS,THERE IS A MOB OCCURING DOWNTOWN AND ALL POLICE FORCES ARE REPORTED TO BE IN WEST JUNES STREET,"
The brothers are stressed. There's a strange creature that can teleport in their lap and a mob downtown that they must attend to.
Then, McGee got an idea. "Ok, I'll go to the mob and you stay in the car to take care of the pony,"
They both paused for a moment and then Carlos said, "Pony? PONY!!!!!????? This is no time for hooligan-ing, McGee! We got 2 situations in our hands and you just called it pony?!".
"Aww, c'mon. She is kinda cute. Just give her a chance, okay? After this, we will discuss with what to do with her," said McGee.
Carlos looks at the sleeping pony and felt a bit guilty for calling the cute pony, 'creature' and 'it'. "Okay, but at least give me some of the armour while you're at it.", said Carlos.
After a few minutes, the guards that got spelled, woke up from their nap and are shocked that Celestia is not in her crib anymore.
"Oh no! What are they gonna say when they see this?" said the guard.
OUTSIDE...
"All clear sir. No signs of animals and humans around," said the patrol on duty.
"Good work soldier. Let's go check the Eastern Boarder," said General Sword Clasher.
On the way there, one of the sleep-spelled guards ran towards their direction and yelled, "She's escaped again! Celestia's escaped again!"
King Eclipsor and Queen Stella are shocked and quickly ran into the town hall.
"We're sorry sir, we should've known that she could cast a sleeping spell on us," apologized the first guard.
"Search the whole town for her. Tell me and my wife anything you find in haystacks, barns, anything!" ordered King Eclipsor with a lot of hope that she could be in the walls and not out of the walls.
After minutes of searches in the market, barns, haystacks etc., they did not find anything. But, General Sword found something that will make things worse. They found hair and hoofprints at Wall 2. By the time they reported this to the king and queen, they made a decision that King Eclipsor will go to the human town near their village. They have no choice but to take the risk in order to save Celestia. Its a painfull procedur but its a sacrifice of a father for his daughter.
"Make sure the village is safe while I'm gone, Stella," said King Eclipsor in his humanoid form. He ran of in the forest with his long two legs, able to travel a bit faster than a pony.
King Eclipsor reached the town for the first time. At first, he thinks the humans live like how they do, minding their own business and be sociable. The humans barely talked when they passed each other but some in suits and ties talked on small boxes that don't respond at all. He does not know what a human does in this town. It has tall glass structures that the humans built. Then, he realised that this is not a town, but a city, known as Dashville City. Then he sees a big group of people screaming and holding wooden boards that said something and some people are running away from them.
"This is Officer McGee and Carlos... We're on our way," said McGee on his phone.
"She's so small. How old is she?", asked Carlos.
McGee drove his Ford as fast as he could with the siren on while answering his brothers questions. Up ahead, the center of town. McGee and Carlos are in a head collision course with King Eclipsor as he wanders aimlessly around the city for his daughter. The people in black vehicles ordered everyone to evacuate the west part of the city in a 1 mile radius. King Eclipsor has no choice but to follow as they say as they are the ones in power of their world. Some smaller white cars passed the black Hummer with alarming speed. Eclipsor is to distracted with whats going on around him and he doesn't know that he's on the middle of the road. A car heading towards his direction with two brothers and a baby pony inside it is heading to his direction for a collision course.
Equestria: Land of Horse and Man
"Carlos, you stay in the car and I will go get some armour for me and you. Make sure nobody sees the pony on your lap, okay?" McGee said to ensure the safety of his brother and the pony.
Carlos nodded and yelled," WHOA! WATCH OUT!!!!!".
McGee turns his head towards the front and immediately stops the car in front of a man in a brown coat and jeans. The man stood there in shock and fell.
McGee and asked the man if he was alright," Hey man, you alright? What are you doing on the middle of the road, sir?".
He told the man to stay off the road to avoid accidents and follow the sidewalk. After that, McGee and Carlos continue their way to West Junes Street. By the time they left, Celestia woke up from her nap and gave a yawn.
"Is that guy okay, McGee?" asked Carlos.
"Yea, and that reminds me something, she can use teleportation, can you handle her?" as concern as the pony is capable of doing anything from teleporting to unlocking doors.
Eclipsor does as the cop said, follow the sidewalk, maybe is the gray slab of stone he's walking on. But something is telling him that his daughter is definitely in this city, somewhere. He took another path in between the buildings and stayed there for a while until things started to calm down. McGee parked his car near to the location and as planned, Carlos stayed in the car with the baby pony while McGee attends the situation in West Junes St.
"Stay here, ok pony," Carlos said nicely to the pony.
"C'mon, gear up people! Carl, where's McGee!?" said the Commissioner.
Carl replied ,"They're coming sir, I just called them. They are on their way,".
After that, McGee comes in and said, "Hey! (PANT), sorry I'm late,"
The Commissioner realized that Carlos is not with him."Where's Carlos, McGee?".
McGee explained that Carlos has a bad backache and needs to stay in the car and be a guard of the perimeter instead. The Commissioner understands and lets McGee take some armor for him.
"Hurry up, McGee. Those protestors are gonna attack anytime.", said the Commissioner.
Eclipsor quietly sneak out of the alley and carefully head west where the police forces are. He sees something that he scares about humans, their guns. He sees the police forces with guns in their pockets and throwing small cans that spray gas out to scare the people away. Eclipsor ran away from that direction and took a corner turn. He saw a car in the distance. He can see a humanoid figure bending over and something familiar, a pony suddenly teleporting behind one of the figures. He knows that's Celestia and immediately ran over to their direction.
"Hey! You there!"
McGee and Carlos heard a scream and saw a flash of light in front of their eyes and saw another creature that looked like the baby pony with 4 legs, wings and a longer horn. They both are again in more shock.
" Please, don't hurt her. I'll do anything for you, just don't hurt Celestia.", said the pony king.
"Wait, you're her father?", asked Carlos.
"O..ok, her name is Celestia? And we don't intend to hurt her, we just want to get her to her home.", McGee talked calmly and nicely to the adult pony.
Carlos was cuddling Celestia while his brother talks.
"I see. Well, thanks for not hurting her. Aren't you suprise to see a talking pony?", said Eclipsor.
"I've seen enough weird things today. So, bye," McGee said.
As they left, Eclipsor turn invisible and ran towards the forest area.
"So, that was...uh... something," said Carlos is in a speechless attitude but feel that they will be safe and keep their secrets safe with them.
"I'll be going now, stay here,ok?", said McGee.
At home, Carla is in her living room couch, watching the news after sending her son to school.
(EARLIER)
Carla is sending her son, Timmy, to Dashville Elementary School after her husband left for work. "Now, be a good boy Timmy. Did you pack your food?" asked Carla to her 8 year old son.
"Yea, it's in here. Is dad really coming home late today, mommy?" asked Timmy.
"I'm afraid so, my darling. Hey look! Your cousin Jimmy is here!" Carla said pointing at a Toyota coming behind them.
Timmy and Carla exited the car and said their greetings to Juliet and her 9 year old son. Tim and Jim gave a tight hug to each other. Juliet and Carla too gave a hug to each other. Both of them said goodbye to their sons and continued to chat outside of the school compound.
Carla put her handbag on the car hood to chat with her friend and relative.
"I'm glad that big piece of machinery is out of our house. Its taking out a big portion of our garage," exclaim Juliet.
" Mmhm. So, did Carlos eat his breakfast yet? He must've taken a lot of time getting that machinery into his car,"-Sees a man in a cloak going through her bag-"Hey! Get your hands out of my purse you prick!"
Carla threw a punch at the man's face and the man fell on the ground. Juliet tried to pin the guy but the guy managed to get up and ran away.
"Yea! Run away you moron!" shouted Carla, attracting attention from students and grown-ups.
"Carla, you alright?" asked Juliet.
Carla exclaimed she was alright. Juliet helped her stood up from the ground and she checked her purse if he stole anything.
"Stupid rascal, thinking he can steal stuff from me. Mm, that's weird, he didn't steal anything," Carla said.
Then, she and Juliet decided to go to the police station to lodge a report on the robbery. After that, she went back home and take a rest. Few minutes later, she got a call from Juliet. She picked up the phone in the hallway. It was Juliet telling her to on the TV and turn to the news channel. When she watched the news, she was shocked that there was a protest happening in Dashville. Suddenly, she felt teary being in fear that McGee will be hurt.
(NOW)
Carla is worried that McGee will get hurt in the protest. Then, the phone in the hallway rang. Carla stood up from her couch and turn off the TV. She walked to the phone and picked it up.
"*Sniff* Hello?" she said.
"Hey, why're you crying?" A familiar voice sent chills down Carla's spine.
"(GASP) H-How did you --Interrupted by Unknown Man-- Nice bag you had there. McGee must've gave you the money for the bag," interrupted the long forgotten dark past of Carla.
Carla hung up the phone in rage and fear that he'll someday come to this house. The phone rang again and the moment Carla picks up the phone, she yelled,
"LEAVE ME ALONE YOU HEARTLESS MONSTER! DON'T CALL ME AGAIN!!"
"C-Carla?" that was when she realized she heard a voice of a man she worried and cried for.
The SWAT and police officers of DPD arrested more than a 100 protesters and interrogated them. They say that there had been rumours about the world going to end in war tomorrow, so they did this to tell the government to stop it immediately. The police didn't believe them and send them to prison for disturbing the peace of Dashville, endangering the lives of others etc. McGee and Carlos went back to their home and fetch their kids from school since its already afternoon.
The two families went straight to bed after dinner like everynight. McGee stayed up until 2 in the morning, still thinking about those ponies and interrogations. What do the protesters mean war is going happen and why are there ponies living among us? Is he in a dream?
Then, he heard something shaking, but its not an earthquake. He hears and sees series of jets flying through the air and helicopters as he looks outside. Dogs barking, houses lights turn on and army trucks passing through the suburban area.
THATS WHEN IT BEGINS........
Equestria: Land of Horse and Man
McGee soon knows what's going on. He knows that it's happening right now. So, he runs up the stairs as quick as he could to wake his wife and son. He went into their bedroom and wake his wife up.
"Carla, wake up! Wake up!" said McGee while shaking her to wake her up.
Carla woke up at the calls of her husband. She was a bit mad that he woke her up 2 in the morning.
"Uuh, what is it, honey?" asked Carla in a sleepy mood.
She was scared as she saw McGee taking out his 9mm pistol and phone from the drawer. Then she realized there were sounds coming from outside. She took a peek through the curtain and she only saw army trucks and thousands of soldiers evacuating everybody from their houses.
"Mommy, daddy, why is it so noisy outside?" Timmy woke up by the noise outside since his room is at the end of the first floor hall.
"Timmy, bad things are going to happen if we stay here longer. Pack necessary things only,"
Then, someone outside is knocking at the front door. McGee ran down the stairs and open the front door and 2 soldiers stand in front of him.
"Mister, you need to leave Dashville immediately. It's too dangerous for you to be here," said one of the soldiers.
Carla came downstairs with her son and their backpacks. She wanted to ask the soldier what's going on outside but interrupted by gunfire outside.
"Carla! Timmy! Stand back!!!" shouted McGee.
Gunfire everywhere, mostly shooting at soldiers and some hittng the house. McGee ordered his family to escape through the backdoor and go to the front once the situation calms down. The enemy soldiers blasted through the door and McGee tried to stall them with his 9mm pistol. He gave 4 shots, killing both of the enemy soldiers. He ran to the backyard with a bullet wound to his shoulder.
"McGee, you're shot!" exclaimed Carla.
"It's nothing. I'm fine," McGee said, not admitting he can't shoot and carry his son at the same time with a bullet wound to the shoulder.
McGee continued to cross the once chaotic shootout that happened out here to a silent and body-filled road. McGee took a left and right pan to check if there's any soldiers around.
"Okay, the coast is clear," said McGee.
They cross the street with caution and make a run on it. More enemy soldiers came in afterwards and shoot at McGee's direction. They run in to the forest the moment the soldiers blasted their guns.
After running, McGee and his family found an abandoned village not far from the city. McGee put his son down and call his wife.
"McGee..." Carla's voice was a bit faint.
McGee was shocked to see red liquid coming from her hip.
"Carla, no, NOOOO!" McGee catched her before she fell on the ground.
"Carla, please, please, nonononnononnono," McGee tried to stop the bleeding but it was not working.
Timmy know's that his mother has been shot and cried tears down his cheeks. McGee is far more worse. He has a bullet wound to the shoulder, needs to take care of his son and his wife is now shot in the hip. Carla gave her last dying breath.
"Carla, no-oooo-ooo! *SNIFF* " McGee hugged her body for the last time.
Screaming and shouting came from the forest that shouted McGee's name. Apparently, it was Carlos and he has the same idea and ran to the forest. Timmy spotted them before his dad did. Carlos and his family managed to find McGee in the same abandoned village. He saw McGee, kneeling and crying while holding a dead body of a woman. Juliet and Jimmy then came in and saw the same thing. Timmy ran and hugged Carlos, crying on his shirt. Just imagine, a kid witnessing his mother die in front of him.
"Take care of Tim." ordered Carlos so he could go and calm McGee down.
"Hey (Puts hand on McGee's shoulder), bro. I'm. . . really sorry," said Carlos, holding his tears back.
They found a shovel in one of the houses and dig a hole in the ground somewhere near a fence. McGee took Carla's body and put it in the dirt hole, along with his locket. After the burial, they continued their journey to find a safezone somewhere, elsewhere. They didn't care about the abandoned village nor they'd care about McGee's wound. Carlos tried to heal his wound but he kept refusing, so they just ignore the wound, hoping that McGee will treat it himself.
King Eclipsor and his pony friends evacuated the village once they see the jets flying through the air. Not only one, but all of the ponies felt something bad's going to happen. So all of them decided to leave their village and go set up somewhere else. The ponies are smart, they planned their evacuation to go south, away from human civilization.
"Okay everypony, we're heading south. We're following the forest so, stay together and don't get lost," shouted General Sword Clasher.
Queen Stella and King Eclipsor are going to keep a closer eye on Celestia, since they're travelling through the forest. King Eclipsor is relieved that his daughter is safe and feel thankful to those two human beings for not hurting her, but he still see's the human race the same way as dangerous and more advanced beings. They ventured south to their targeted location. It was silent throughout the journey besides jets that passes them overhead.
"So, did the humans did anything to Celestia?" asked Stella.
"Nope. They said they tried to help her to get her home but they don't know how to," Eclipsor knows Stella does not like them even more then him.
"What are we going to do with her? She'll just escape again like she used to," Eclipsor is worried that Celestia is going to escape from her crib when they get to their new home.
"Let's not worry that first, my king. What we need to worry is the forest and the humans. They are at war now and-" Stella was interrupted by a jet falling from the sky.
"MY QUEEN! WATCH OUT!!!" shouted the guard.
Both the king and queen escaped in time with Celestia in their hands. It was a miracle that nopony was injured.
They checked the wreckage for the pilot and see nothing, nobody was in there, but a stench of burning flesh and fuel made the ponies close their muzzles.
"Stella, are you ok?" asked Eclipsor.
"Yes, I'm fine" answered Stella.
Few minutes after the crash, more jets came flying in the air and shot at one another. The ponies ran away from the crash in a line. After that, they reached their destination. It was peaceful and quiet, not like what happened earlier. The place was perfect and it was far away from civilization. The ponies quickly set there as their new home and lived peacefully, until one day...
Equestria: Land of Horse and Man
The world wasn't the same anymore. It has been 10 years since it happened. So, to stand as a civilization again, they form a community of survivors known as The Resistance. The area, also known as 'Paradise Town', is surrounded by 30 feet high walls and inside it, 100 000+ civilians and 15 000 soldiers. Their leader, 58 year-old Derek Romanov and his assistant, 43 year-old Mr.Garry, are in charge of this place and its civilians, including McGee and his brother's family.
McGee and Carlos are the leaders of the 15 000 Resistance soldiers. Timmy is a guard on the front gate with his cousin, Jimmy. They get info from their fathers on who's going in and out of the facility. As for Juliet, she is a welder on the weapons category. She repairs and makes guns for the soldiers in the times of need. But this day, all is gonna change for mankind.
McGee and Carlos live in a hut near the main building in the middle of Paradise Town. It's 8:00 in the morning and McGee sleeps peacefully until his alarm clock awakes him from dreamland. He grunts as he woke up by the buzzing of the clock.
"Mmm, where is it?", McGee tried to find the alarm clock with his face in his pillow.
Juliet walks into the room to wake McGee up for a meeting with Derek. She presses the button and stop the buzzing. As she stands beside the bed, McGee is still looking for the alarm clock, even though it's already shut off.
"(CHUCKLES) McGee, wake up," McGee still reaches his arm out when Juliet calls him.
"MCGEE!!!" Juliet shouted as McGee got shocked by Juliet's loud scream.
"Aahh! Oh golly, what was that for, Juliet?" McGee asked.
McGee gets up from his bed, still feeling sleepy from sleeping late last night. McGee gets visions in his dreams about four legged creatures and fighting his brother with swords. He doesn't let these visions overcome him and command his men throughout the deserted and radiated wastelands. He goes downstairs to have breakfast with Timmy and the others in the kitchen, before going out with his brother to meet Derek.
"Mornin' son," McGee walks in, seeing his son and niece with Carlos.
"Morning dad," answered Timmy.
"Morning McGee. Be fast, we need to meet him in 50 minutes," said Carlos.
McGee took a piece of toast and a cup of coffee. He thinks about what those visions meant. They looked to real to be just dreams. The vision with the tall and long haired pony is the most concerning of all. Almost all of his visions have her in them and going to adventures to keep bad, evil things away. After having breakfast, everyone headed out of the house to do their everyday duties. McGee and Carlos locked the door after everyone gone out. They went into the main building with 50 guards and two VIPs. They walked into the lobby and took a lift to floor 5 where the office is. They walked out of the lift and entered a hallway. They walked to Derek's office with two guards at the door.
-Knocking on the door- "Come in," said Derek, sitting in his office while starring out of the window.
"You wanted to see us sir?" asked McGee as he enters the room with his brother.
Carlos closes the door and sits down beside his brother in a wooden chair.
"Yes, there appears to be transmissions sent somewhere from the south last night. Nobody lives there, as we are the only people living in a thousand miles. I need you guys to go and search for the source of the transmission," said Derek.
"Okay, when do we start?" asked Carlos.
"We'll start the search in 60 minutes. Around a hundred men are going to follow you on this mission,"--Handles a notepad to McGee-- "Here, give these to your son. I don't know why Garry doesn't send these anymore," Derek then coughs and took some pills.
"Sir, you okay?" asked McGee.
"Yea (COUGH), just need some medication,"
Then McGee and Carlos stood up from their chairs, gave a salute and leave the office.
"Oh boy, unknown transmissions? I'm in for weird things man," said Carlos.
"I just hope its people and not other things," replied McGee.
--DING-- "Somehow that makes me concern for some reason," said Carlos
"Who the hell will attack us? We're talking about beyond the mountains, no one could possibly go there with monsters and who-knows-what lurking there," said McGee.
Meanwhile at Gate B, Tim and Jim are waiting for notepads and notes from their fathers. It is silent and boring with no one entering and exiting the gate at this hour.
"Hey Tim, have you wondered why Garry has not been seen in a while lately?" said Jimmy breaking the silence.
"Well kinda. Why? Do you think he's dead or something?" replied Timmy.
"That's nonsense, I wouldn't think about that. And again, he could be though," said Jimmy.
"Hey look, there's dad," Tim spotted his father and his uncle in the distance.
"Hey boys. Sorry we're late. Here, here are the notepads," said McGee.
"It's okay dad. So, how did it go?" asked Timmy.
Jimmy then notices his dad holding a file of some sort.
"Hey dad, what's that in your hand?" Jim asked.
"Oh, Derek said that there's something beyond the mountains sending unknown signals and we must go search for the cause," said Carlos.
"Yea, that's the reason Derek wants to see us. Only a hundred men and gate guards are supposed to know this."
Tim and Jim know that this is a dangerous mission that they're going to attend and didn't ask any more questions after that.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the south, the ponies lived as an empire and lived in peace. The ponies are ruled by King Eclipsor, Queen Stella, Princess Celestia and her young sister Princess Luna. The empire consists of 300 000 civilians and 20 000 guards. As for the king and queen, they still fear humans as they'll do anything to survive in the depths of the apocalypse. But Princess Celestia and Luna thinks of them differently. They are just trying to live and survive, after all. Its kind of sad that some of them are out there, alone and dying need of help. Some of them even come here and died of wounds and scratch marks before they could help.
Last night, Celestia and Luna are getting ready for raising the sun and moon for the first time tomorrow. Their parents taught them how to use their magic to raise the celestial bodies. Not even them know how does this happen, using magic to raise two important space objects for life of others.
"You feeling nervous, sister?" asked Celestia.
"Yes, a bit. I hope we practiced enough," replied Luna.
"I'm pretty sure we did practice enough for this. Now, let's go to bed," said Celestia.
Then, an explosion came from Sorceror Time's room and sent out a weird power feeling through everypony in the area. Celestia and Luna heard the explosion and quickly ran to their door.
"C'mon, Sorceror Time is in trouble!" said General Sword Clasher.
"General, what was that?" asked Luna.
"It's Sorceror Time. He's in danger, --Soldier comes in--, Sir! The lab is on fire!".
The three ran as fast as they can up the stairs to Sorceror Time's lab and saw it on fire, as well as soldiers coughing from smoke. The king and queen soon came and tried their best to stop the raging fire and save Sorceror Time.
"Dad!" shouted Celestia.
"Girls, stand back!" Eclipsor gives way to Stella to use her magic.
Stella asorbed the fire with her magic into her horn. Celestia and Luna are shocked to see their mother using magic.
"All clear! Search for Mr.Time!" ordered General Sword Clasher.
"Sir! He's here!" shouted one of the soldiers.
"I'm here! Help, I'm stuck under the bookshelves!" shouted Time.
Three guards hurried to his direction and lifted the bookshelves. The whole lab is destroyed and a heavy smell of sulphur came from the fireplace. Luna noticed the smell as she smelled sulphur from the nozzle of guns from dead humans that came here.
"Oh golly, what is that awful smell?" said one of the guards.
"That my friend, is what they call sulphur," replied Sorceror Time.
"I was doing an experiment and, -Interrupted by Eclipsor-, Sorceror Time, this is dangerous stuff, where did you get this?" Eclipsor sees boxes of sulphur in the safe part of the room.
"I'm sorry Eclipsor. I, -Interrupted by Eclipsor-, I want all of this sulphur and dangerous material that you got from them out of here before dawn," said Eclipsor.
Everyone went silent after that. Eclipsor, General Sword Clasher and his soldiers and Stella left without saying a single word, leaving Celestia and Luna in a burnt room.
"Oh, what have I done, girls? I shouldn't have put that substance next to the fire," said Sorcerer Time.
"Ok so, let us help you. We'll get the powder out of here before our dad knows it," Celestia and Luna offered help but Sorceror Time rejects as the powder causes dry throat, eye burns and skin problems.
He sends the two girls back to their room and continue cleaning up the place afterwards. He carried the boxes of sulphur and throws it away outside of the village. On the way back, he took a rest at an abandoned radio tower close to the village. He stops for a moment and took a look a the radio station and sees a red switch in a small grey building. He pulled it and loud and weird sounds came up from generators. He got startled and ran away, leaving the tower on itself, sending radiowaves across the American lands.
