"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."
