Chapter 1:Insane Mercenaries
"MOVE MOVE MOVE!" Yelled the Coast Guard Captain.
Eight Coast Guards jumps from the two helicopters, and lands on the Deck of the whaler. Armed with M4s, they proceeded to move, cautiously, around their current position, making sure the LZ is secure.
" Petty Officer Fisher, take Squad Bravo, proceed West to the Captains Cabin, I will take Squad Alpha and sweep the bow for any contacts, we will meet up with you at the Captains Cabin." Ordered the Coast Guard Captain.
" Yes Sir!"
Petty Officer Fisher, along with three other Coast Guards, proceeded to move West, towards the Captains Cabin. Only thirty seconds in the mission, and the boats with Charlie Squad are still trying get near the ship.
"This is Airman Day, I got visual on Charlie Squad, they are nearing the whaler, ETA 5 minutes." Reported the pilot of one of the helicopters.
"Roger that, we are nearin- what's that noise, Carl You hear it too right!?" Said The Petty Officer
"Yeah, I hear it too, what the...... I got movement, what the bloody hell is that?"
"FREEZE! DONT YOU HEAR ME? I SAID FREEZE!"
"Ahhhhh!"
"Open fire!"
"More of them! Alpha Squad, we need backup! AHHHH!"
"Roger that, we are moving to you-WAHHH!"
Gunfire fills the radio channel, everything quiets down after twenty seconds. Charlie Squad fears the worst, but they know their mission. They were trained for situations like this, going onto to a ship, shootin' a couple hostiles, clear it from all hostiles etc etc. But Alpha and Bravo were both highly trained, whatever happened to them, they can't have all perished. The ship rocked side to side, a couple body's fell off into the waters, the boat containing Tom Hansen, veteran Coast Guard of Charlie Squad, just frowned as he saw the body's float by the speedboat, all bloodied and mutilated, some of them were just torsos, he had served with the guys for about seven years, they were his friends, and for some reason, all he could do was frown at their dead body's.
"OK, we are close enough to board the Whaler, Tom Hansen, we will meet you at the bow" Tom over heard Lansing on his radio
"Roger" replied Tom
Tom arrives at the "Spirit of the East", and boards,Not five minutes on the ship,and Tom over hears screaming and gunfire on the radio. Tom realizes that whatever got Alpha and Bravo, got them as well.
<><><><>
Twilight sits in her chair in the main room of her library, she had just started her Monday routine, as her friends does as well, she had recently, being a pony who loves knowledge, has been interested in mythical creatures, first up, Humans.
"Chapter 1: Humans." Read Twilight.
She looks up when she hears a noise up stairs. Spike is awake. His Monday routine is.......well, usually, sleeping. Maybe Twilight woke him? No, she was reading quietly.
"Twilight! Mind not reading so loud? I'm trying to sleep." Complained Spike
Twilight realized, in her excitement, she was actually reading out loud, very loud.
"Sorry."
Spike sighed and went back to bed. Twilight paused, waiting for nothing. She went back to reading. But then she looked up, a..... light, in front of her. She reached out to touch it after eight minutes of looking at it. Then all she's sees is darkness.
<><><><>
Twilight eyes slowly opened, she regains her hearing almost immediately, what she hears, is gutwrenching. Screaming, loud noises, then nothing. She regains her eyesight. Twilight looks around, wires, tubes, etcetera.
"A storage room." Twilight quietly said.
She looks in the direction of he door, she looks at the handle. She walks over to it and trys to open it. After five minutes of trying, she can't open it, this doorknob wasn't made for hooves. She listens after she hears a voices on the other side of the door.
"Есть везде! Мы будем умирать!" (THEY ARE EVERYWHERE! WE ARE GOING TO DIE!)
"Быть спокойной, они будут слышать нас!!!!" (Be quiet, they will hear us!!!)
"Вы два ежу понятно! Открыть эту дверь!!" (You two bastards! Open this Door!!)
"Мы пытаемся!" (We are trying!)
"Hey!"
"Понедельник утро! На прошлой неделе на прошлой неделе на прошлой неделе на прошлой неделе на прошлой неделе! Есть один за углом!" (Shit! shit shit shit shit shit! There is one right around the corner!)
She backs up after she hears the loud noises from earlier. Then screaming.
"Damn, I didn't want to do that."
Twilight backs up when the doorknob starts to turn,she dives under a table that has a sheet drooping over the edges of the table. With luck, whatever is coming through the door would move on. The door opens, and......a bipedal creature walks through, pointing a small log around the room, the large creature walks up to the table and starts speaking.......English?
"What the fuck got into those guys? they were insane." Muttered the creature.
Twilight sneezes. 'Uh-oh' thought Twilight. The creature steps back, gets on its knees, and lifts the cloth.
"What.......the........Fuck...."
"Hi..........." Twilight says nervously.
"What the hell! It can talk?"
The creature raises its small log with a red light being emitted from it. And points it at her.
"Step out.....slowly." The creature says, with a threatening tone.
Twilight complies, seeing as how whatever he is holding could be a deadly weapon. She remembers back to the first half of the sentence she was reading, before everything went dark. "Humans are Bipedal creatures with a patch of fur on top of there heads, Hum-" that's all she read before the light appeared. She looked up at the creature, it has a small patch of blonde fur, and,from what she could tell of its voice, this creature is a male of it species. She quickly realizes, she is looking at a Human. Instead of fear, she is filled with excitement, a human, in front of her. She cant help but squeal in delight.
"An ACTUAL HUMAN!!!!"
The human falls onto is back from the sudden outburst.
"Oh sorry, I-"
"Don't touch me, now you are going to answer me. What in the Fucking Hell is going on on this ship you.......... unicorn........uhhhh."
"What do you mean?"
"There were freaking 2 guys out there yelling stuff about Things that are everywhere, and seeing a unicorn on board a ship with dead bodys of crewmen and mutilated M4 wielding Coast Guard bodys on board, Now What the fuck is going on!"
"I don't know, I just woke up here, tried opening the door, heard voices, loud noises, screaming, then nothing."
"hmph........"
<><><><>
Tom Hansen looks into this unicorns eyes, he sees the fear, he knew that if she was responsible, she wouldn't be scared.
"Id hate to say this, especially to a freaking.......unicorn........ but I believe you....... sorta."
"Now before I freaking lose my mind....already......Whats your name, if you have one."
"T-T-Twilight S-S-S-Sparkle."
"Don't need to stutter, Nice to meet you Twilight Sparkle........Im Coast Guard Veteran Tom Hansen....Now, do you mind TELLING ME WHAT FUCK IS GOING ON????? INSANE CREWMEN, A FREAKING UNICORN, WHAT THE HELL?"
"So....let me get this straight. Your a damn unicorn, with magical powers, and you come from a land that's filled with regular ponies, pegasi, more damned unicorns, and princesses, A.K.A. Alicorns?" Tom Hansen said, not believing his own life anymore.
"Yes, its probably strange to yo-"
"YOUR FUCKING RIGHT ITS STRANGE TO ME!"
Twilight just sits there staring at Tom, who looks around, probably uncomfortable with all this.
"So.....Whats that thing with the red light?"
"Oh this, its a .45 Caliber Pistol, Standard issue of the USCG." Tom said, admiring it, probably proud of it.
"Whats a pistol?"
"A pistol is a handgu........... Projectile Weapon." Tom said, realizes that Twilight probably doesn't know what a handgun is either.
"This is very interesting, but id like to go home now, before my friends worry." Said Twilight as she looks around for that bright light.
"Ummm, where is that light that brought me here?"
Tom looks around, Oblivious to any light, 'cos there is none. He looks at her funny, and then thinks 'What hell is going on? Insane gun wielding crewman, and a unicorn?....... She seems friendly enough, maybe she can help me in this mission, and if she is responsible for all this, ill just put a bullet in her head.' Thought Tom.
"Twilight. maybe you can help me, Im on a mission to investigate whats going on with this whaler, and I could use some help, I'll help you get back to "Equestria" afterwards ok?" Tom said, then immediately cursed himself for saying that.
"Really? sure, I could also observe you and your actions as well, for science." Twilight Gleefully said.
Tom just sighed at it, not knowing how he will get her home. 'Why the fuck did I say that?' thought Tom.
<><><><>
Tom and Twilight leave the storage room , after discussing tactics, if they encountered more insane mercenaries. But they soon stop in their tracks when they hear a voice, coming from behind a door.
"Позвольте мне вас побери Невский Проспект! Поэтому я могу повернуть головку на прошлой неделе! На прошлой неделе Вы прошлой неделе!" ( Let me out you Damn Yusupov! SO I CAN TWIST YOUR FUCKING HEAD OFF! DAMN YOU ASSHOLE!)
The voice is female. Tom walks over to the door and trys to open it, it wont budge, he then realizes he needs the codes for it.
"I'll find the codes Ma'am."
"Oh, говорящего на английском языке сейчас? А также услышать это!" ( Oh, your speaking English now? WELL HEAR THIS!)
"LET...ME...OUT...YUSUPOV...SO I CAN KILL YOU!"
Tom looks at Twilight, and then looks at her horn. He quickly thinks of something.
"Twilight, can use your magic to discover the code or something?"
"В идиота, нет такого понятия, как волшебные!" (YOUR AN IDIOT, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS MAGIC!) Yelled the voice.
"Im sorry, I haven't studied on magic like that...."
Tom sighs, mostly cause this stuff about magic is making him mad. And the fact that a female is stuck behind a door, the same voice started yelling again.
"C'mon then Twilight, we will find the code, eventually." whispered Tom.
Tom and Twilight walk away, leaving the Russian woman to scream and bang on the door in peace. As they walk door the corridor, Twilight cant help but notice Toms stance, He Is walking slowly, pointing his pistol in every direction but behind him. As if he expected something, to pop out, attack. Twilight couldn't help but notice some stairs, and she goes down, without Tom knowing of course, to see whats down there, what she sees is a flooded room with a dead human corpse floating around, and something gleaming in the water, she decides to tell Tom instead of getting it herself.
"Hey Tom, there is-" Twilight gets cut off by Tom.
"Not now Twilight, we need to keep moving." Tom interrupted with an annoyed tone.
Twilight decides not to press the matter any further, 'It might not be useful anyways.' Thought Twilight.
<><><><>
Twilight and Tom start down another corridor. much wider than the other one, and shorter. But they couldn't help but feel like something was wrong, something was eerie with this corridor, Tom stayed alert, while Twilight stayed behind him.
"Why was that fem-- what do you call female humans??" Twilight brought up.
"Female Humans are called women, when they are young, they are called girls." Tom said, with a bit a guilt in his voice, Twilight realized that this guilt is probably from not getting her out of there.
"Why was the women yelling at us?"
"Well, im guessing this "Yusupov" guy locked her up. She must have thought I was him, and you.......someone else....." Tom said with a tone that told Twilight to "DROP IT AND LET ME CONCENTRATE".
Tom trys to open a metal door, but It wouldn't budge, so he tried ramming it, before he realized he needed a keycard for it.
"What kind of whaling ship is this?! We gotta find a Keycard." He said, with pain from ramming a metal door.
"I saw something gleaming in the water back in the other corridor! I was trying to get your attention, but you interrupted me." Said Twilight, with an annoyed gaze.
"Oh, sorry, uhhhhh, what water?"
"It was downstairs, in that corridor, of course."
Tom and Twilight head back they came, Twilight leading for the first time. She shows him the water area, and Tom starts towards the shiny object, which is right under a corpse. Tom picks up the keycard, and turns around, only to have something jump on his back.
"Ahhhh, WHAT THE HELL!"
"That floating body, its grabbed you!" Twilight yelled franticly.
Tom got the body off of him, the body splashes back into the water, and Tom feels the guys pulse, nothing. The body had no heart when Tom further inspected it.
"What the fuck, what removed this mans heart, and furthermore, WHY DID IT GRAB ME?"
Tom backed up, and fired a few rounds at the "Dead" body. Then looked at Twilight, who was just starring, with her mouth wide open. Without hesitation, Tom moved as fast as he could towards the stairs. He didn't say a word when he passed Twilight, she took this as a hint to not talk, and she followed him.
<><><><>
"Its unlocked." Tom said to Twilight, with glee in his own voice, this was the first time Twilight heard him happy.
They entered yet another corridor, with alarms blaring, Twilight covered her ears when she stepped into the corridor, Tom didn't, but he noticed her sudden "I don't wanna go deaf" pose, which was rolling on the floor, covering her ears, he grabbed her, and moved her into the Ship lounge.
"Еще один, удерживать ваше положение Дмитрий , и удар!" (ANOTHER ONE, HOLD YOUR POSITION DIMITRI , AND SHOOT!!!)
Tom threw Twilight behind a counter, and ducked to avoid oncoming bullets.
"О чем вы говорите? Обмен мгновенными сообщениями не плохой, im помочь! Обмен мгновенными сообщениями том Хансен, береговой охраны Соединенных Штатов ветеран.!" (What are you talking about? Im not bad, im to help! Im Tom Hansen, United States Coast Guard Veteran.) Tom tried to say over the bullets coming his way.
Tom took Russian back in high school, and he is happy about that, or he wouldn't be able to understand anything written, , or said on this ship. A momentary cease fire occurs.
"Юрий, он здесь, чтобы сохранить нас!" (Yuri, he is here to save us!)
"На прошлой неделе! Он заражен вирусом, он будет убивать нас обоих!" ( Bullshit! He is infected, he will kill us both!)
"Вас, возможно, прав Юрий!" (Your probably right Yuri!)
"Конечно im права, в настоящее время огонь вашего оружия Дмитрий!" (Of course im right, now fire your weapon Dimitri!)
Tom curses under his breath, 'Infected? what the hell does that mean?' thought Tom. His thoughts are soon interrupted by one of the Russian mercenaries yelling something to his friend.
"Дмитрий, вперед, мы будет отомстить за Николай!" (Dimitri, Advance forward, we will Avenge Nikolai!)
'They are advancing, and it doesn't look like I can reason with them, I guess im going to have to shoot them down.' Thought Tom. Tom made sure his weapon was fully loaded, he looked over Twilight, who has her ears covered still. Tom starts blind firing.
"Вчера вечер! Дмитрий! Умирать вы инфицированных на прошлой неделе!" ( Noooo! Dimitri! DIE YOU INFECTED SHIT!)
Tom looks out of his cover to see that he killed one, and they other is firing his pistol more rapidly, Tom waited for him to reload, then, fires. Silence fills the room. Tom realizes that he killed them both, 'If I didn't kill them, they would have killed me and Twilight.' thought Tom. He looks at Twilight, who now is just looking at their dead bodys.
"Damn, 2 bullets left." said Tom
And just like that, 4 clips are levitated right in front of him. He looks at Twilight again, and notices she is at the dead body of a decapitated Mercenary. Her horn is glowing.
"I found these on the mercenary, his pistol looks just like yours, and those bars right there looks just like the bars on the ground right next to you, furthermore, I saw you load one of the bars, then I realized those bars hold the projectiles." Twillight explained, with an annoying happy voice.
Tom realized he used ALOT of ammo while blind firing.
"Thanks you Twilight." Tom said while loading a clip.
Surprise! The ammo fits, Tom realized that Twilight kinda just saved his life. So is happy now with her following him. 'I still think im insane though.' Tom thought. But who would blame him for thinking that he insane, he is a talking to a unicorn after all.
<><><><>
Twilight and Tom, shaken up because a headless corpse fell out of the Kitchens Refrigerator and landed on top of Twilight, causing her to yelp in pain and frightendness, start walking towards a water valve to turn off the blasted Fire alarms. As Tom turns on the water sprinklers, they hear footsteps.
"RAAAAAAAAAH!"
They look over see a mercenary running at them with a Skorpion SMG. He trips and falls into the fire.
"AHHHHHHHHH Обмен мгновенными сообщениями на пожар в прошлом месяце Помогите!" ( IM ON FIRE!!!!!! HELP!)
The sprinklers turn on, but not before the mercenary is charred into flames, along with the Skorpion SMG.
"Dammit." Tom cursed.
Twilight doesn't say a thing, but instead, tugs on his orange vest with her magic. Tom turns around to see her pointing towards a door that's leads outside. Tom opens the door, and immediately ducks to avoid gunfire, Twilight takes this as a hint not to go out there..... Just yet. Tom makes sure his gun is loaded, and shoots the gunman, the gunman is on a walk way, and when Tom hits him, he falls off into the water, and probably drowned. Tom motions Twilight to walk over to him.
" Be careful, we got mercenaries out here, and be careful walking, the storm will wash you away if your not careful."
Twilight just nods and follows Tom. Tom and Twilight make it to the other side of the walkway, only to be ambushed by another Mercenary. Tom doesn't even hesitate this time, he shoots the mercenary, hitting him in the head. Then another Mercenary starts yelling, and shooting, almost hitting Twilight. Tom shoots the other Gunman. Tom only sighs 'They obviously see Twilight, maybe they just think they're crazy now, but they don't need to shoot everything.' Though Tom. Tom looks over at a door he reads inscription, "Харьковская область" (Dormitory Area) Is what was written.
<><><><>
Tom entered, Twilight followed, what Tom sees makes his face green, Twilight Throws up. Intestines, Half of human bodys, lone heads and limbs are scattered everywhere. Tom looks over to see one hand holding a book.It was in Russian "А русские руководства на английском языке" (A Russians guide to English). Tom cursed everything before looking over at Twilight, who is looking at a dead body. Tom walks over, but then notices the half-body of the crewman is breathing.
"Убить меня." (Kill me.) Weakly said the Crewman.
Tom said a short prayer, put His pisol between the eyes of the crewman, and pulls the trigger. Blood sprayed across his face, then he looks at Twilight, who is looking at something in the bathroom. Tom rushes over when he notices black armor on a arm near the bathroom, what he sees is horrifying.
"Lansing? Lansing are yo--- Oh fuck."
He is now looking at a Armless, Mutilated, bloodied, headless, body of Lieutenant Lansing. Tom faces goes green again.
"At least I have the radio codes." Muttered Tom.
Tom grabs the radio codes off of Lansing. A voice makes him turn around.
"Uhhhhh, Tom!"
Tom runs over to Twilight, who is staring at a Mercenary, crawling towards them, the Mercenary is missing his left arm, and half of his body. Someone else, holding a knife, comes out of nowhere and runs up to the mercenary.
"Help.......Me!" Yelled the Mercenary.
The guy standing over the Merc then stabs him, about twenty times before turning his attention to Twilight, he growls and charges.
"SHIT!" Yelled Tom.
Tom unloads his entire magazine on the bloody man, killing him. Tom inches closer to Twilight, who is in shock, he hears a growl, he turns towards the source, and its the same bloody man, this time he charges Tom, Tom gets a good look at the man, his head is a skeleton, and his stomach is torn open.
"WHAT THE FUCK!!!!" Yelled Tom as the man tackles him.
The man cuts Tom about four times, before Tom blows his head off. Tom now knows the man is dead, he looks towards Twilight, who isn't in shock anymore, but is looking at Tom, worried.
"Twilight, I think I believe you now."
