Lost Between Worlds

////Kenyon\\

"Granite, are you ready for the infiltration?" The commander's  voice crackled over my earpiece disturbing the quiet night that I had gotten used too. I pressed the button on the side of my earpiece to activate the microphone. "Yes sir," I replied. The other members in my team began to stir as they too heard the commander voice.

       "Okay Granite, wait for Lockdown to start the distraction. Cassi out" The crackling in my ear stopped as the commander's voice died. I turned to my squad who were now throwing their backpacks over their shoulders, we had been camped out here for over three days. "Alright Granite, were going to get this done quick, in and out." I was greeted by a chorus of 'Yes sir' I took a deep breath, letting the cold winter air enter my lungs. Stifling a cough I prepared my wing-suit. Daisy walked over to me, I looked at her and just by her face I could tell she was nervous.

         She had bright blue eyes and short cut blonde hair. She was very fit and was a lot more athletic than the others in the team as she showed us on the track. It was her first operation and I knew she wanted to make a first impression."What do you need Daisy?"

"Well sir, it's just that this is my first operation and well I am just scared that I am going to mess up is all." I threw a hood over my head and looked over to her.

        "We all make mistakes Daisy, just try not to as a mistake at something as high risk as this we can't afford a mess up"

         "That's what I'm scared of." I gave her a warm smile, that I doubt she could because of the hood over my head and the dimming light.

          "Just follow my lead Ms. Sharp. We will make it out, I promise." She smiled and nodded before she threw a hood over her head so I could see nothing but her light blue eyes.

An explosion signalled that it was time to go. "Move Granite!" I yelled and jumped off of the cliff we were stationed on, my team following suit. I spread my arms out and felt my descent slow tremendously. I angled so I would land on a rooftop of the compound. I hit the roof with a light thud and immediately fished a small amount of C4 that was fastened to my side. There were gunshots in the distance, presumably from Lockdown's distraction.

         I could hear light thuds as my team hit the rooftop around me. There was five of us. Me, Daisy, Cole, Micheal and Brynn. Cole walked up to me and handed me my AR-15. Cole was the shortest on the team and had brown hair with matching brown eyes. He was very muscular and not one of us was able to beat him in an arm wrestle yet. He was our marksman on the team and had gotten us out of many sticky situations.

          I pulled the bolt back and nodded at Cole. "Alright team, lets go." I jumped off the building and landed as softly as I was able with all of the things I was carrying. I brought out the trigger to the C4 and threw it to Micheal. The tall man caught it and pulled the trigger. There was a loud explosion and I ran towards the building, jumping through a window with my team beside me. The Rebels on the inside were to busy pointing their guns at the ceiling to notice us coming in from the side. We dispatched them quickly

After clearing the top floor we regrouped in the building. "Alright Granite. The whole compound had to know we are here now, so lets not dilly daddle. I want to get out of here quickly if any of you find something that may lead us to the superweapon, let us know," the group around me nodded their confirmation.

Mental note: Train a slightly more disciplined team when we get back "Lets get to it then!" We all went our separate ways and began scanning the building. I walked into a random room and began searching. First I looked through all the desks for papers on where it might be hidden and only came up with a door code that I assumed would come in handy later. After about ten more stress filled minutes of searching I heard Micheal's voice crack over the radio. "I found a door with a keypad in the West room, I suppose something might be behind it." I sprinted out of the room I was currently searching and went into Micheal's which had a bookcase laying on the floor and a code-locked door on the far wall. " What made you throw the bookcase over there Micheal?"

"Let's be honest sir, why would a rebel have a bookcase in their office?" I shrugged.

"Good enough." Micheal was the tallest one in the group, he easily towered over me by four inches and had a very lanky body. He never won at wrestling as it was much to easy to get under him. He had dirty blonde hair with pale blue eyes and an always unshaven face. He was the one that always blew stuff up on our team and greatly enjoyed it. He was the joker of our team and took almost nothing serious. I took the paper with the keycode out of my pocket and entered it in. It didn't work. "Nothing can be easy can it?" I mumbled as I set my AR-15 on the ground next to me. Pulling out hacking equipment I quickly hacked it and the door hissed open. "Shall we?" I asked motioning with my hand to move forward. They all looked at me strangely and I took that as my hint to go first.

After walking for about half an hour in darkness only illuminated by our night vision goggles Brynn spoke up from the back of the group. "Sir, I hear voices from back there, we should move faster."

"I know Brynn, but if you haven't noticed we are going downhill and if we go faster we are going to tumble and it will not be fun." I replied. Brynn was a red head with green eyes. She was the smarts of the group and usually made quicker decisions than I did in the spur of the moment. She was the second shortest of the group and had a very built body that she used very effectively at breaking down doors. I heard Brynn's loud sigh, "Yes sir." That was when I saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

"See Brynn? You only had to stay quiet for a few minutes longer and we where there!" I heard some mumbling but chose to ignore it. I walked inside of the blindingly white room and squinted as my eyes adjusted from the green that the night vision goggles saw in. That was when a door sealed shut behind us. "Well, it could be worse." Micheal said. That was when a hissing from gas began to sound above it and when I looked up I could see a green gas slowly creep towards us. "Just had to say something didn't you?" I asked as I fumbled for my gas mask but it was too late as the gas moved faster than most noxious fumes and I got a mouth full of it. I quickly began coughing and slumped to the floor, drifting off into sleep.

I woke up sometime later strapped to a chair and a gag in my mouth and our weapons laying in a pile to our right, while a scientist loomed over me. "Ah! Your awake just in time to so you can see us test our new design!" The scientist had a slightly British and a mask covered his entire face so I couldn't see what he looked like. I tried to mumble something around the gag but it only came out a gibberish. "Oh! Don't worry, we will wait for your team to wake up as well so they can witness first-hand the power we can have with this machine!" Okay, this guy was just crazy. The man walked around me and came back with a syringe filled with a green liquid that looked much like the sleeping gas inside of it. "Now, sweet dreams!" Before I could mumble a reply like 'Go to Hell' I was asleep again, but this time something more interesting happened in my dreams.

"Ah. Sergeant Stronski, I have been waiting to talk to you!" I opened my eyes in my dream and was immediately met with two yellow ones, they were attached to a body that looked like a mismatch of animals. "W-who are you?" I asked.

"Me? I am Discord, being of Chaos and disharmony. I am surprised you have not heard of me considering where that crazy scientist will be sending you all!"

"And where will this be?"

"Oh, you will see. After all telling you would ruin the surprise would it not?" I shrugged not really wanting to answer. Why would I listen to him? I am asleep and he is most likely a figment of my imagination. Whatever that doctor gave me must be making me go crazy, I am completely fine. "Wow Kenyon, you really have a wild imagination. Refusing to believe I'm real, Can break a chimeras heart." He looked hurt for a second before he perked back up. "Anyway, gotta run I bet I'll be seeing more of you soon!" With that Discord snapped his fingers and I woke back up with a start.

        I felt someone moving beside me and a mumble that kind of sounded like 'Could have been worse' Oh Micheal, how right you have been as of late. "Ah! I see you are all up, now it is time to start the project!" Crazy bastard, if I survive this I swear I will rip your throat out. There was a loud humming and I felt someone to my left squirming against their bonds, I assumed it was Daisy. The scientist stepped into a room that was filled with others. "Have a nice trip!" Those were the last words I heard before the world erupted into bright blue colours.

I awoke with a splitting headache Pain, this is good. Means I'm not dead, yet. "Finally your awake! I have so much questions to ask you!" I heard a feminine voice say off to my right. I looked over there to see a purple horse with purple fur, dark purple hair with two different shades of you guessed it! Purple on her mane. The one defining thing that set her aside from other horses was the horn on her head. Surely she didn't talk? "Hi, my name is Twilight Sparkle! What is your name?" I saw the horse say. Curiosity was all that saved her from me killing myself then and there.

         "W-who areyou?"

         "Me?" She looked around as if to find someone behind her. "I guess I'm the only one here... As I had said, my name is Twilight Sparkle. I am a unicorn pony and princess Celestia's personal student!"

          "Princess? Pony? What kind of world was I sent to?" I thought out loud as Twilight sat there grinning at me.

          "So, are you going to answer some questions I have for you?"

          "First, answer mine. Where am I? Where is my team and how am I going to get back home?"

          "Well, your in Equestria. There are more of you? For the last question I have no clue where you live but I guess we could get you back." Well, that didn't lift my spirits any. Good job Twilight. I looked over to the left side of my bed and saw my M9 sitting there, I motioned to grab it but then realized that I was roped to the bed.  "Why am I roped to the bed?"

           "Princesses orders, we didn't know if you would be hostile when you woke up so we roped you to the bed."

           "When do I get released?"

           "When we know for sure your safe. Now. Can I ask you some questions?"

           "Shoot."

           "What??

            "Just ask me the damn questions." I sighed, this has going to be a long day...

            It indeed was a long day, Twilight Sparkle questioned me like a detective. Most questions were silly like 'Why does your mane only cover your head?' And whatnot. "Well, you have answered all my questions I had for you!"

            "Great! Now untie me."

            "Not until the princess deems you safe!" Me and this 'Celestia' character and going to have quite a talk.

            "Well, tell me when she decides I'm safe. Until then leave me alone" Twilight's ears drooped a little. She turned around and slowly walked out after letting a long drawn out sigh. When she walked out. Closing the door behind her. 'Now, how am I going to escape...'
