Running down the tunnel I enter a unknown part of the Metro, It wasn't on the map but I am pretty sure it was close to Oktyabrskaya; a Nazi occupied station. Fascist, don't care anyone that isn't a Russian or pure blood, their Propaganda is everywhere written in German and Russian; and they even believed it too. They thought that if you looked like you had a mutation they would send you to concentration camps that had pipes to the surface that could turn them into gas chambers. Sure learned from their predecessors.

I Continued my stalk through the tunnel, avoiding patrols easily. You would think that my height would hinder my stealth, if it did it never showed.

The tunnel shook all of a sudden, followed by a full on quake. It broke apart showing a expanse of blue and white, I hesitantly took a step off the only slab of stone I was standing on. My foot touched an invisible platform of some sort, jumping off I landed on the platform before the stone broke apart before vanishing. Looking around I started walking in a random detection, as I continued to walk I heard some sort of voices but unpronounceable.

Then the white and blue started to change to a crimson red and black; buildings started to rise out of the ground. After they where constructed, I looked to the sky. Its red and orange glow was menacing. The sirens of some sorts rung through the city before the sound of constant explosions caught my ears. Looking towards the source, pillars with cones on the fronts flew into the sky with fire and smoke behind them. Then out of the clouds fell one like it but towards the city not away from it. It flew away towards the center of it before a bright light blinded me. As the harsh light disappeared a shock wave pushed me on my back, grunting in pain I stood up. A mushroom cloud was the only thing I saw with parents holding there children close, trying to protect them from the fire. I looked at the scene with horror, this is what happened? Then a faint spark of blue caught my eye, looking to the cause I say another one of those creatures.

Blue furred with blue hair that waved in a unseen wind with a sea of stars in it. It wore a dress of some sorts and a crown with a necklace with a crescent moon on it. It had a horn sticking out of its head with wings on its back. Its blue-green eyes looked into mine with pity, sadness, and sorrow. Before any of use could speak up a faint sound of a rifle shot caught my ear before pain ripped through my chest.

I fell to the ground, grabbing the wound I looked up to see me surrounded by Fourth Reich soldiers, their lifeless eyes of gas mask lens looking into mine. A noose hung from an unseen force as the soldiers picked me up; pulling me towards it.

'No, No!' I tried to yell out for help but darkness filled my vision.

I woke up to something that was poking me, looking around I noticed three no four creatures looking at me; emotions ranging from curiosity, fear, and awe. Then I noticed my pistol was missing and the green and purple reptile looking down the barrel! I bolted upward, snatching the revolver out of his hands before he could even react. They looked at me in fear with the exception of the orange and purple one.

'Do you have a death wish?! Never look down a barrel of a gun!' they all backed away from me. Then I noticed I wasn't speaking Russian, I still knew it but I wasn't speaking it. 'Вы знаете, что мог убить себя.' I said putting the revolver in its holster.

'You can talk?!' said the white one with purple and pink hair.

'да, I can. Why wouldn't I be able to?' I asked. They looked at each other before speaking up.

'W-we thought you were a monster.' said the reptile.

'Well, I'm not. Real monsters harm children, monsters where once your friend until they mutated into blood thirst freaks!' I replied.

'Mutated?' asked a red haired and light yellow furred pony with overalls and red t-shirt.

'Just imagine a dog without its hair, more aggressive, and much bigger. I should know because I have seen them and been bitten once.' I said taking off the plastic wrist brace then showed them the scar that ran up my arm in a diagonal way. They cringed at the sight but I thought a heard a "there hast to be an awesome story behind that." Covering it back up I turned my attention to them.

'So, what are your names?' I asked.

'Why would we tell you?' asked the orange one in a pair of shorts and a tank top.

'Just asking.' I said crossing my arms.

'My names Spike, I am a baby dragon.' I nodded at this even though I was exploding on the inside about it.

'Names Applebloom, I'm a Earth Pony.' I nodded again.

'Hi, my names Sweetie Belle! I'm a unicorn.' said the one in a pink dress and a horn.

'Scootaloo, Pegasus.' said the tom boy which I noticed had wings on her back.

'Приветствия, my name is Romanov. I am a human, I work for the Hanza as a Sniper.'

'Sniper?' asked Sweetie Belle.

'A soldier that is an expert on killing from long ranges.' there faces went pale in fear.

'Kil-killing?' shuttered Applebloom.

'Yes, sadly I have killed before. But do not worry young ones. I made a strict code for myself never to harm children.' I said.

'Why?' asked Spike.

'It's a harsh world out there young one. There are those who want to hurt the innocent, and it's my job to prevent that.' I said trying to look heroic, it seemed to work. There was a eerie silence before the room exploded about something called cutie-marks. I looked to Spike who only shrugged in response. Taking my chance I pulled out my Journal.

Day 1,
I have awoken from a Nightmare to find myself 4 children to be the cause. They are human hybrid creatures as well. Their names are Spike, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Applebloom. Strange names, but who am I to judge. It also seems that they are mythical creatures. Spike being a baby dragon only about 4'8", I'd hate to see a full grown one. Sweetie Belle being a unicorn and Scootaloo being a Pegasus. Applebloom seems to have none of these. I will ask later.
