Mercenaries introduced/Militia
Previous ChapterPOV:Celestia Second-person
2 days later afternoon
Celestia paced around her throne room. She had just heard the creature Twilight caught in Ponyville had escaped, but not before it massacred Luna's Elite guards. Three Elite guards all taken down by the monster, but not before it also injured Luna. She couldn't let a creature like this live it's too dangerous. She sent a few letters everywhere from the Griffin kingdom to the Diamond Dog hierarchy. She was determined to put an end to the Predator in fact, she all the separate rulers sent her letters, confirming that they will join the hunt and even sent some of their best scientists to create weaponry. A Guards-pony stuck his head through the doorway.
"Celestia, the Mercenaries are here!", Ahh yes the mercenaries how could she forget she hired some earlier to hunt down the Predator. four separate creatures entered. A Diamond dog that had Red fur and green stripe down his back, followed by a Griffin with Black Feathers and red eyes, a red Minotaur wearing silver armor, and an Earth Pony that was wearing some kind of black armor that covered him entirely leaving him with a red visor that he can see from.
"You, must be the mercenaries that responded to my call," Celestia said as she walked up to the four mercenaries. The Diamond dog stepped forward. His red eyes shined brightly as he introduced himself, his voice was really soft making him sound like an assassin.

POV:1st person Celestia
"Ah, Celestia such a honor to be here, my name is Scratcher Curtly, I'm from the Prince of the Diamond Dog hierarchy and it was an honor to be hired by the grand Princess herself, I was recently banished by my father and seek to regain my honor by slaying the Predator," he said as he bowed before me. He held a few knives as he showed them to me.
"These knives, are dipped in the sap of the deadly "Stone-tree", once I get up close and stab him with this, he'll be paralyzed with a neuro-toxin, rendering him immobile." Scratcher said flashing a toothy grin. The Solar Princess nodded as she went to the Griffin. The Griffin bowed before her. She spoke with a soft voice similar to Scratcher but held a more sinister tone.
"My name is Steel-wing, I'm part of the Griffin kingdom, I'm part of the Griffin Air Division, and seek redemption on the beast, as you see during his little massacre in Ponyville, he slayed my good friend, Loyal Bone, one of the unicorns that first confronted him, I seek to slay the Predator and gain vengeance for the death of my friend." She pulled out a sword and shield cradling them in her hands. He showed me the sword like a colt would show off his new toy. The sword's handle, was a black color, while the blade held a white shine.
"This sword's handle is crafted from the bones of a slayed dragon, while the blade was forged from the tooth of it, and my shield is crafted from the scales of the same dragon, rendering my equipment immune to flames." She said while showing off a few moves she picked up from training. The Minotaur wearing silver armor trudged up to me. He bowed before me before introducing himself. He spoke with a rough voice.
"Ah great Solar Princess my name's the great Brutus also known on the Battlefield as "Iron-Stomp".I come from the Minotaur tribes, I seek to bring the predator's head in order to receive the award and repay my families debts. I was part of the Minotaur tribes Elite team, I'm trained in all forms of hoof-to-hoof combat." He flashed a huge battle-hammer that looked really ancient and old, but held a shine to it.
"This hammer is enchanted with a special magic that allows it to be unbreakable, I've rode into battle multiple times with this hammer and it still works," He said as he swung the hammer around. I was really impressed but all three of these Mercenaries but there was still one more.
"Very well, but who's that," I said pointing to the final mercenary. It walked up to me as it it stuck out it's hand, as I shook it. It spoke in a very metallic tone.
"My name is Model:Krysis, I've been dispatched by Crystal Empire Advanced Technology Corps or, CEAT corps for short, to handle this hostile, The CEAT thought this incident will be great to show me "Prototype No.1" will be worthy to stop this hostile, I'm implanted with different weaponry, I've also come equipped with a locator all I need is a identification of the creature and I can locate it and neutralize it, if I succeed in my mission the CEAT will begin mass production of my model." Krysis said as he his visor glowed a red color. My lips curled into a smile, these mercenaries will be the beginning of the defeat of the predator.

Meanwhile:near an Unknown location
Me and Qaz have been walking for 2 days straight, ever since the incident at the castle. From what I heard the castle was destroyed from the fire. Me and Qaz managed to escape the city, by hiding in some guy's cart. After we thought we were far enough, I beheaded him quickly to recharge my suit.
"Qaz, where are we going?"
"I don't know, i guess we'll have to hit them hard if we want to take this place over.", Qaz said as he rested on my helmet.
"And that would be?", I asked nervously, I got a bad feeling about this.
"Some city near the Griffon kingdom, they supply all of Equestria with weapons, swords, spears, and shields!"
"Is it like some kind of militia?"
"Yeah lets put it that way.", Qaz replied as he flew in front of me. Walking a few more miles we made it to some hill.
"We're here get down!", The fairy whispered to me. Following orders, I ducked as I looked down at the town. Ponies stood around as they loaded up boxes onto ships, that were heading to different parts of the world. So, how can I do this?
"If you destroy this Seaside base, you can cripple the shipping of weapons and communications, this base also holds out all communications."
I can just attack it head on, but I can't risk I'm going to need all the help I can get. But, I think I can do this. Activating my camouflage, i slowly walked down the hill toward my destination. The base wasn't that big, just a few bunkers here and there, and a huge tower in the middle. Sticking near a building, I peered into the window. A pony stood by a radio. Since, when did ponies have radios? Lifting up the window slowly, I stepped into the room, careful not make any noise. Sliding out my blades, I was ready to butcher the pony. Lifting up my blade, ready to strike until qaz flew in front of me.
"Hey, Dumb-fuck are you really going to slice him into ribbons, all you need is one drop of blood and...BAM you got a whole base on red alert!", The fairy said whizzing around. Shit he's right, I can make this less messy. I crept up behind the pony but stopped. Maybe I can get some intel on this place.
"Yeah, Seaside industries is now shipping our new weapon out to troops who are hunting down the creature, I heard he beat down Luna even with her wielding the Lunar blade...Yeah....We need all the weaponry we can get, in face word here is that there an android from CEATC is joining the hunt for the monster!" CEATC? What the fuck is he talking about? I heard enough, my arms wrapped around the guards neck.
"What the Fu-?!", his sentence was cut off as my arms snapped his neck. Having strength from this armor sure does pay off. He slumped forward his head slamming into the desk. Well, that's easy, I looked at the radio as Qaz flew in front of me.
"I have an idea! Download some intel into your helmet, that way you can access it!", He said.
"You're the boss.", I said as I plugged into the radio.
"What's that?", Qaz said as he made me turn around. A red dot stood on my armor. Wait, this seems familiar?
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
An explosion knocked me back on my feet as I looked at my enemy. Some pony wearing some kind of black armor stood before me.
"Predator, prepare to fall!", it said in a metallic tone. A bird-like creature flew down next to it, followed by a Minotaur and a Dog-like creature that appeared out of the shadows.
"Fuck."
