As Jed was walking through the place that the Princess called a 'Throne Room', he noticed that the room had an unusual number of colored glass windows. "What is it with all these colored windows?" asked Jed, "What is this, a church?" As he said this, his eyes caught the attention of six ponies that looked like the ones that he say when he woke up, and one of them looked like the one that he had held hostage. 'Fuuuck, this is not going to end well.' he thought to himself.
As he walked towards the ponies, their expression began to turn hostile. "Who the hay do you think you are trying to kill our friend!?" said one of the ponies that apparently looked liked the mythical Pegasus that Jed had read up on in the archives at the remnants of an old library in the wastelands of Indar. And as he looked closer, he began to notice that some others looked like other mythical creatures from the days of olde. Bu what mostly surprised him was the combination of a unicorn and a Pegasus, and that they always referred them to a stature of royalty, a princess, which made him even more confused. 'If there are princesses, then there must be a king or a queen.' Jed thought.
"I said. Who the buck do you think you are!? Killing innocent guards! And almost murdering our friend!" said the blue Pegasus. But as she said this, Celestia raised her hoof. "Now my little ponies, our friend here, um, may I please have your name." asked Celestia. "Jed, Jed Smith, but most of my fellow NC call me 'VSterminator'. answered Jed. "Ah, I see, well, our friend here thought we were these things he fights were he comes from, called the 'Vanu', which he said wear the same clothing color of some of our manes and tails. So he was just scared." explained Celestia.
"You are REALLY trying my patience, I just didn't want to become a POW, and you can see how that worked out." said Jed. "Yes, and why don't the Elements of Harmony introduce themselves." said Celestia. "The Elements of what-now?" asked Jed. Suddenly, a surprised look erupts from the Mane six, (especially Pinkie Pie, because she's Pinkie Pie). Then a purple pony walks up to him, apparently the one that he held hostage. "You are telling me that you have NEVER heard of the Elements of Harmony?" she asked. "Yup, besides, what do they do, make everyone super happy?" he said sarcastically.
"No, they are just the main weapon of defense for Equestria." said the purple pony. "Well, the only thing we NC need for defense is a shotgun and a giant tank canon." Jed answered. "A shot-what?" they all asked. "You're kidding! You people have never heard of shotguns? I guess it makes sense, considering you people, sorry, ponies only use spears, and that tranquilizer spell that felt like a mag-cutter to the head." said Jed. "Sorry, that 'mag-cutter' , your knife I assume?" asked Celestia.
"Why yes, now you are getting it!" said Jed. "But first, I'd like to meet these 'Elements of Harmony', I'd love to report talking ponies to my C.O., so, who will talk to the bipedal alien first?" he said. And as he said that, this pink pony came running up to him. "Hi! MynameisPinkiePiei'msurewewillbegreatfriendsbutfirstIhaveafewquestions! Doyoulikecupcakeswhatsyourfavoritecolorhaveyoueverbeentoapartywhatsyourfavoritekindofparty,aaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnddd. Do. you. like. Equis?" she asked with what seemed but like a few seconds.
"Okay, um, I have never heard of a cupcake, blue, Yes I've been to a party, but only one, and that was when one of our Sergeants got promoted to a Lieutenant, it was great, MAX fight club, Auraxium-grade booze, and finally, we basically baptized him with a few packs of C-4 and assorted ordinance and about 20000 rounds. And I really liked it, and yes, I do like Equestria, it reminds me much about the fields of Amerish.
"OK!" she said. As she hopped away, Rainbow Dash began to whisper to Twilight, "I don't know Twilight, I don't trust this guy, first he tries to kill you, but then he acts all nice-like, I'm not buying it." she said. "Oh don't worry RD, it was all just a big misunderstanding. I give my word as a princess on that." said Twilight. "Fine, but if tries to pull a stunt like that again, I'll kill him myself." said Rainbow, whispering the last bit to herself.
The next to come up was a white-coated unicorn with a swirly mane. "Hello sir, my name is Rarity, I am an owner of a boutique shop in Ponyville, the place where me and my friends found you. And seeing your choice in attire, I might want to make you a tuxedo when I get back." she said prominently. "That will not be required madam. This armor is what keeps me alive, and TR bullets and VS lasers would just go through your clothing." said Jed.
"I see," she said as she walked away, "It's just that I wanted to look better without that um, 'rugged' dress-ware." The next was a orange-ish pony that wore a hat that looked like the ones that men in the times before the Terran Republic on Earth wore, called a 'stetson'. "Wah' howdy there mister! Mah names Applejack, I live at Sweet Apple Acres, one of the FINEST farms in Equestria." she said, "Now tell me about yerself pardner."
"Well, where to start? I grew up in a underground bunker, seeing as how the surface of the planet was ravaged before my time, my dad was one of the many factory workers that supplied the New Conglomerate with ammunition and other utilities. My mother, well I can't say much about her, died in a Vanu raid, she hid me while she went to defend the bunker." he said with a tear coming out of his eye," Later, an NC officer Light Assault came by later, and took me back to my father. After that, he enlisted in the service of the NC to avenge my mother, while I went and trained with the recruits at the New Conglomerate Academy for Young Individuals, and when I was old enough, grabbed my AF-19 Carbine and went to the battlefields of Auraxis."
"Well, uh, quite a story, I better go see what's the matter with Fluttershy." she said as she walked off to a yellow Pegasus with a pink mane. "Why hello, 'Fluttershy' is it? My name is Jedidiah Smith, do you want to ask m....." Jed said before he was cut off by a guard rushing into the door.
"Your Majesty! One of our patrols has found a party of spies outside Canterlot. It took over a battalion of guards until we were able to apprehend them. Their apparent leader says he is an officer of this 'Terran Republic', he said his name was Commander Jack Simmons." he said.
"Wait, did you say, Jack Simmons?" Jed asked. "Why yes, does that mean something to you?" the guard asked. "You have no idea, that, is the leader of TRAF. Tell me where he is! I'll make him talk!" Jed said, with a now deep sense of anger in his voice.
Canterlot Prison, Equestria, Equis, 11:56 AM
As Jed entered the room where Jack was being held, he noticed that he was bound onto a steel bed. "You ponies might want to stay out, things might get messy." said Jed, with an evil grin on his face. "Oh no you don't, how do we know you just won't break out with this guy, we just met you a few hours ago. And during most of that time, you were unconscious." said the rainbow Pegasus they called 'Rainbow Dash'. "Um, how about no, you are as wrong as wrong can get, I fight these guys for a living. Why would I leave with one of their highest ranking officers?" explained Jed.
"Point taken, you may proceed with your interrogation," said Princess Celestia, "But we will be watching through these windows so we can see what goes on." As she said this, Jed began to walk towards the window, and just stare at the TR officer. "Fine, but those with a weak heart should look away."
"What for?" asked Celestia. "You will see." said Jed. And as he walked into the door, Fluttershy began to hide her face in her mane.
Interrogation Room, Canterlot, Equestria, Equis, 12:00 PM
As Jack was lying on this uncomfortable, metallic observation table, he saw a figure walk into the room who, for once, was NOT a pony. As Jack sighed with relief, thinking that his soldiers have come to rescue him. But all he found was the face of an New Conglomerate soldier. "Are you kidding me!? After being captured by equines with damn spears, I have to face an NC rebel!" he said with a zealous attitude. "Yup, and guess who's your interrogator?" he said in a gruff voice as he cracked his knuckles
<><><><><><><><><>
As Jed stared into the eyes of the Commander of the Terran's Air Force, he felt the embers of his hatred burst into an inferno. "How did the TR from Earth find out about Auraxis, It was a secret kept by scientists and military leaders, who are surely dead!?" bellowed Jed, but got no answer from the Commander. "Alright, we can do this the easy way, or the hard way." But still no answer from the Commander. "Alright, I guess its the hard way." said Jed as he cracked his knuckles. "Alright, but before I get beat, I must know, who are you?" Jack asked. "Oh no one special, just your average Phoenix Battalion Corporal." But before he could reach him, the Commander started to laugh. "Oh, so your from Phoenix Battalion egh? Man it was a blast decimating them, who knew that just attacking one patrol would bring their entire army up? It was just a matter of surrounding them all! they soon crumbled under our relentless tank and air attacks! And it was an absolute blast after the party, we pulled them up in front of our line of chainguns, tied them up, and blasted them to bits! Oh, but a shame, there was one with a really fiery temper in his heart, what was his name? Oh yes, BonesxMcoy."
"YOU DAMN CHICKEN-LIVERED COWARD, I'LL KILL YOU!" said Jed as he rushed the Commander and started to punch wildly into his face.
<><><><><><><><><>
As the Mane 6 were looking through the window, they saw that the interrogation was going well, but after the Commander started talking, something went awry. Suddenly, Jed rushed Jack and started to punch his face into oblivion. " Guards! get Jed away from the prisoner!" said Celestia, seeing this act of pure violence.
<><><><><><><><><>
As Jed was beating Jack into a pulp, a group of about 8+ 'guard ponies' came into the Interrogation Room and started to pull him away from Jack. "Let go of me! This bastard needs to pay for the horrors that he has caused!" screamed Jed as they brought him out of the room. And as they brought him outside of the Interrogation Room, Jed could see that Celestia's horn was glowing again, "Aw hell not agaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!" screamed Jed as Celestia knocked him unconscious with her spell. "Hopefully his anger will have subsided by the time he comes back from unconscious." she said.
"And how long will that be Princess?" asked Twilight. "About 10 minutes." answered Celestia.
10 Minutes Later
As Jed woke up, he saw that the ponies that they called 'The Elements of Harmony' staring at him. "Yo, Jed, Y'all right?" said the one he assumed was Pinkie Pie. "Yeah, besides the fact I have been basically magic-raped by your princess at least twice in one day. But besides that, I'm peachy." said Jed trying to get up. "Um.... 'magic raped'?" asked the one he heard was called 'Twilight Sparkle'. "Forget it." Jed said. "Besides, where's the wanna-be Drill Sergeant?"
"Oh, Princess Celestia darling? She and Princess Luna had to go out to the Everfree because 'Terrans' you speak of are really starting to make quite a mess down in Ponyville, marching along the outskirts of the Everfree Forest, and promising to shoot any pony or animal that come near the forest. Thankfully a full evacuation has taken place, so I now that my dear sister, Sweetie Belle and Applejack's sister, Applebloom is okay." said the one that said her name was Rarity.
"Fine and dandy, your small town is okay, now take me back to that bastard, I have a few more questions." Jed said. "Fine, but if you try and kill him again, we will make you march on those 'TR' by yourself." said the most aggressive one, 'Rainbow Dash'. "Besides, what made you go beserk on him?"
"You see, he told me that all my comrades are now dead, that they all got shot by a Terran firing line. You would do the same if him and his men shot all the people, or ponies in your case, you knew and fought with" said Jed. "Okay, point taken." said Rainbow Dash.
As they walked into the room, Jed saw the damage he inflicted on Jack, he saw that Jack had lost about 4-5 teeth andhis eye was swollen shut, and that his face was basically full of bruises. "Well, you certainly did a number on him Jed." said Twilight. "Come on you pile of scum, wake up!" said Jed as he ignored Twilight and slapped the Commander of TRAF into conscious. "What's going on? Oh, it's the lonely Corporal of Phoenix Battalion. And I see you brought some equine friends! How excited, now they get to witness the 'interrogation' methods of the New Conglomerate." he said.
"Enough! Tell me what the TR are doing at Auraxis!?" Jed ordered. "Oh fine, you see, when we contacted them on our radio's, they to had no idea who we were, that they were just following an old General's last wish; To find a lost planet, where people suffered, and to bring them back, he left behind a set of old star coordinates, showing an old section of space." Jack said with a twisted smirk on his face. "Okay, you're finally cooperating, next, what are the Terrans planning?" asked Jed, grateful that the Commander is finally cooperating. "Oh, that, now that was a funny discovery, we found this wonderfully generous pony in the wilderness of the forest we landed, calling herself the 'Great and Powerful Trixie', and commanding, yes commanding, us 'hairless ape monstrosities' to leave her humble abode in peace, which was just a hovel, or face her 'magical wrath', now here is the kicker. When she shot this purpleish pink ray at us and it hit one of our nanite crates, it turned them purple! And after analyzing them, we found out that they work even better with this 'unicorn magic' making our men faster, stronger, and have a higher endurance! Now at the meeting I was at before I got humiliatingly captured by these simple equines, we planned to harvest these newfound energy and use it to conquer the NC and the VS and restore order to Auraxis! Besides, what can one lone man do to stop an army?"
"Enough of this! I don't care if you end up getting rebirthed in the Terran's base," said Jed as he pulled out his Commisioner, "Time for you to die!" "Jed STOP!" screamed Twilight. But she was too late, for Jed had already pulled the trigger, and the front of the face of the Commander of the Terran Republic Air Force's body caved in when the .44 caliber bullet plowed through the skin and bone.
And as Jack's body started to turn into purple nanites, Jed quickly removed his helmet to reveal Jack's blond hair. "Jed! Why did you do this? Now he know that one more of you is alive."
"Not really, now is a little story of the creation of rebirthing........." said Jed warming up for a story.
One story of rebirthing lore later because the writer is lazy
And as he concluded his tale of science experiments, corruption, and insanity, nearly everypony was passed out from confused brains, and/or brain meltdown of maximum inflation. "So you are telling me that a person forgets what their past lives lived through to stop insanity of the feeling of death! This is a gigantic marvel in science! But what I can't understand why you remember some things, why is that?" asked Twilight, the only one who has not passed out from the above text. (Yes the writer likes to break the fourth wall)
"Well, to make sure who we know we are fighting for, Command puts in a chip into our bodies that give us memories of all of our past battles but the memories stop one minute before we die. Very simple really." said Jed, fiddling with the TR comm set.
"What are you doing?" asked Twilight. "Oh nothing much, Phoenix Battalion has it's own communications channel in emergencies, and I just want to check if there are any survivors, maybe some squads survived and are hiding in a cave." said Jed, trying not to cross the streams.
Suddenly, a royal guard came rushing into the Interrogation Room panting wildly. "Princess Sparkle!" he said nearly out of breath, "I have grave news, Princess Celestia and Luna have been captured by the Terrans!"
"WHAT!?" said Twilight.
"Had It coming for trying to be a drill sergeant." said Jed, still fiddling with the complex wires of the communications set.
