1: The only human in a human world.

“Neil, all it is to me is a label to a body. Something to be called by on this fucked up world we called Earth.” I said, getting up from my rolling chair. I glimpsed at my watch. “Only 9:40 pm, it feels like the sun have been up for a while. I couldn't possibly know that sense there are no windows in this place that am stuck in.” I mumbled taking my laptop off my desk to my bed. Feeling relaxed as my body sank in to memory foam made me sigh in relief. I then reached to the left side of my bed to open my mini refrigerator door and pulled out my favorite Arizona tea with the longing of the artificial flavors.

I cracked opened the can and took a sip." Man, I wonder how it would be if there never was this type of tea. I would probably still be in school or dead," I said, taking another sip. That would be better than where I am at now." I sighed and imagined the impossible.

Several moments of daydreaming was then snapped in half when the laptop screen dimmed. That had reminded me to write in my journal, so I plugged in my wristband USB into the computer.

After I checked up on face book, Twitter, and Google plus I be gain to type my thoughts down to the computer with my ever flowing energy.

June 10th, 2015 Entry {74} [Personal] Time 9:45 pm

I have been thinking about my past and the choices I have made over my life, and I’m going to back trace my steps.

First, it mainly started when my Dad disappeared on the day we moved out of Texas to Maine. I asked my mom why we moved. All she told me was that my Dad was in a better place and he'll always be there for you.

At the time I was 6 years old and I was taking martial arts classes for Wing Chun. 3 years later, I found out what my dad was. He was a government official that did many important Projects.

It happened when a letter slipped out of a box I’m my mom’s room. When it fell, I didn't tell mom about it until she asked me if I know anything about dad. That was when I was 10. At that time I was feeling alone without my dad. Whatever happens to him hope he can still be with me. Even if he's at his die words just getting to see him again would mean a lot to me...

Never the less I continued on. During the time when I had turned 12, my mom meets another man. "He’s a total ass." I didn't say anything to mom, because he made her happy. And I was dumb to do so.

One day when I was 14 years old I decided to walk home. Before I did I had sent a text that I was going to walk home when school had let out.

When I got home to my door was unlocked when she never left the door unlocked. I thought nothing of it for some reason. Walking in my house everything was in disarray. Filled with fear I called for mom. No one responded to my pleading.

After I checked my house I took my things and ran to my friend’s house to tell him what has happened. As I crossed the street a black van pulls up next to me. 2 men jumped out of the van, grab me and put a sack over my head. They tossed me into the van with no one around to see my kidnapping. They had hit my head hard enough to knock me out when I was tossed against the floor. About a few hours later I woke up in an interrogation situation...

I looked around and there was a camera to the right. In front of me was a very tinted window. Next to me, was a cup of untrusting water on the metal table, the door clicks opens up and a man in a suite steps in and takes a set.

He looks through his file before looking at me." Neil, A#######, A#######. How have you been?” He said with no emotion. He sets his files down and looking at me with a cold gaze. I also ignored the way he said my full name.

"My head still hurts," I commented rubbing the back of my head. He looks up and said, “I’m sorry about that, but if you want aspirin then you can have some". The man looks at the window.

"I'm ok for now.” I quickly said, looking down at the files.

"Alright the let’s get down to business, your father has started a program before he had disappeared," He begun.

I then cut him off. "Where's my MOM"?! I spat crossing my arms. The man stayed silent for a while but then said, "We don't know where your mother is.”

“Who are we, the government? Why did you take me here by force?" I scoffed feeling frustrated. "Neil you're here, because of your father... And yes we are the government and what information I have is considered classified. We took you by force so you don't know where you're at now, and don't interrupt me again," the man said coldly, taking out a cigarette.

He then began again by saying, "Neil, ever since the project started he planned to finish it but since his disappearance we need someone to fill his place." he stops and lights his cigarette. "And I that’s where I came in." I said with a raised eye brow.

"That's right," He said with a sly smile as he huffed in the toxic gray clouded before breathing it out like a mad bull.

"But why would you need me? I’m too young to help out.” I questioned him. "That’s the thing we need someone young." He said plainly, while he looked back at the window.

"Why don't you get somebody else to it?" I asked getting up. "Because Neil, somebody else is not like you." he said taking smooth drag as he watched me.

I passed to the black window. "What do you mean?" I asked, confused knocking on the glass. "I'll only tell you only ‘if’ you agree to help your father with his last project". The man said as he takes one of the folders and takes out a piece of paper. He hands it to me and says, “This is the last page for your fathers will."

"Apparently, he had instead that you would be part of this if he failed to do so. What do you say Neil? Would you let for father down?" He said tapping this citrate on the tray next to him.

I looked down for a moment and back at the man who wear a cold series look. Instantly I be gain to think this over to the point I came to a conclusion. "I'll do it for my dad," I said confidently.

"I know you would make the right choice". The man said gaining back his fake smile. He then he snaps and a man that looked like a scientist walks in. "Come with me Neil. I have answers for you." He said with some excitement wavering off of him. I pushed my chair in and went with the scientist guy.

"Hey, Neil.” The man said, turning off the camera. "Remember this; I’m here to ensure your safe during your time here." He said with little sympathy. I reassured him with a nod and left.

***

I looked around the large old fashioned room. I was surrounded so many books along the tall walls, and there was a single red chair in front of a dark wooden desk.

I was standing next to the chair with unease. "Please sit," he instructed waving his hand to the chair. "So Neil, what do you want to know before we get started?” He asked. "Ok, what’s your name?” I said plainly.

"O, right I haven't properly introduced myself. My name is James, Even, Kimberson. I'm the one of the head scientist for the Nano Engineering Department," he said proudly, checking something off his list.

"Before we go any further here's the head's up on what I can talk about," James said in a semi serious tone. "There is only so many things I can get in detail with. Also if you have a question that I can't answer I'll give you the excuse. It's classified." He said looking at his note pad.

"What would have happen if I didn't agree to do this?" I asked James seeing his grin fade. He took a moment to choose his words from the sudden question.

"You would be forced to proceed with the project without consultant. It was good thing that you had agreed," he said with a meek smile. "Because..." I said, wanting him to go on. "Because, you'll have more choices to make independently. Along with the fact that there's a good chance," he said moving the subject away.

I sat there silent for a moment trying to not make this awkward. "What is this project called?" I spoke soddenly. "Um, well there is no name for the project, your father said it will come in time." He said with a bit of melancholy.

"O, that sucks; I was hoping that it would have a cool name by now," I said showing some interest. "Well... just wait," He said as he starts to type on his computer.

"What are you doing?” I asked looking over. "Sending an email to the main director." James said sending it. "Would you like to come up with a name?" He said with his eyebrow raised.

"Sure, but I don't have any names right now," I admitted. "Any more questions you need to ask?” he said pushing his glasses up.

The thought then came to me as I took a deep breath. "Yes I do, what is it that makes me different from anyone else?" I said curiously. With that question he lite up with a big smile as if he waited all day. "Neil, you’re different by your DNA. You have an extraordinarily rare thing happen when you were formed inside your mother during her pregnancy." James explained talking a pen a twirling it.

"What do you mean?" I asked now hungry for an answer. "Neil, you were born with an extra helix," he exclaim, freezing me in place.

At my reaction he chuckled. "I don't follow James," I said flatly, as he covered his mouth. "Just look," James said as he took out his phone and sets it in front of me.

Before he began he calmed himself down. "You know that everybody has a double helix," James said, shows me pictures of the double helix and what mine looks like on his phone. "You're mutation is extremely rare that you'll have more chances of surviving 4 atomic bombs then getting this," James says with excitement.

"So what you're saying is that I have superpowers!" I assumed. "No, no, but you are immune to cancer, allergies and any other diseases and your body is acceptable to high doses to radiation," he said getting up from his chair and was in a full smile.

"Is there anything else?" I asked taking aback to this discovery. "There is! With your mutation you'll age slower than anyone else," James said taking his inhaler and took deep breath himself.

"Wow, is there more icing to go on the cake?" I said with expectation. "Yes, there a lot more, but we need to get back to the program," James said, taking back his phone and glances back at the computer.

Sitting back down, he straitened himself. "Neil you may not accept this, but the project is to make a super soldier," he said, now serious.

I thought to myself as I needed a moment, I know 'where this is going. I'm going to be a lab rat. O crap, painful experiments. No, wait it's focusing on one thing. Me becoming a soldier... Shit I’m now property to the government, just great.

I had come to a conclusion. "That’s cool," I said with a weak smile. "Glad to hear it, because you don't look so excited" James said with empathy.

“What am I going to go through exactly during the experiment?" I said changing the subject. James stayed silent again, he then took a page from a folder inside his desk. He clears his voice and starts to speak, "What I'm allowed to say is you're going to go through is 1 year for the project to be completed and 6-8 years of training to start." He said skimming through the pic of paper.

"You are probably the only person that can be successful at completing this project besides your father," James said with a week smile. "That’s good to know, but is that’s all?" I asked with anticipation.

“It all very limited Neil, I’m sorry, and I'm afraid we are out of time," James said with a bit of disappointment. The door opens to the office and the man in the suite with two MP's walk in. "It's time," he said, as the man looks at his watch. I looked at James before I got up slowly.

"You'll be fine," he said, giving me a piece of paper.

I'm afraid he was wrong; there was the 2 weeks when my body tried to adjust to the things inside me. It was terrifying to know that your body might reject it self. I felt no different after the Nano bots and iron finely stopped shifting in my body.

After it was announced that the project Umbrella was complete, the company through a huge party for me. Boy it was awesome. I can't believe how much James drank that day.

Ps: Today is my 20th birthday. I hope I get a better present this year. I'm starting to dislike strawberry cake. When I ask for Chocolate!!!

Entry {74} complete at 5:00

I looked at the time and saw it was 5:00 am. "Crap, I need to get ready," I said as I saved my work and powered down my laptop. Quickly jumping out of bed I made my way out of the living quarters and into MP room. It was Down the hall way where meetings where unusually paced at.

"Neil, your 5 minutes late again," said General Miller. "Sorry Mr. Captain obvious," I said as I sat next to my teammates, Johnny, Sara, Gus, and Sam5 who had a silent five at the end, because of her crazy mother.

"Morning caption.” My team said in unison as they had for quite a while. They were eating breakfast and Johnny was writing something down. "So, General what’s today’s mission?" I said enthusiastically.

"Turn of the lights off." He ordered. Clack, one of the MP's turned off the lights from the back of the room. "We have Intel about a high interest woman her name is Loran Abernathy" General Miller said and looked at me for a moment. "She has obtained leaked information and you may use any means necessary to keep her for spreading that information around," He said firmly.

"Question, what is this secret info?" My team meat Johnny asked. "Johnny you know that answer to that." Miller said face palming.

"Shut up Johnny," Gus added. "Yes, Mr. Baby G." Johnny remarked.

"Hey knock it off you to,” Sara scoffed. "U-hem, as I was saying the initial also says that she's located in San Francisco, California," General said as he turns to the next slide.

"She thinks that she's under the radar, but of course we have eyes on her 24/7. Any other question that isn't stupid?" Miller said looking at Johnny. "Ok then, you'll leave at 0 700 hours; everyone is dismissed," he announced.

Everyone leaves the room but Sam5 stays behind. "Caption, may I have a word with you," she said with some concern.

"Go ahead, it’s not like I have anything better to do," I stated taking a donut from the refrigerator. Sam5 takes a moment before she says, "Lately, I have been thinking".

"U-o, thinking? You know that can lead you to trouble, but what’s it about?" I said as I whipped my mouth. "You know how we had a few missions that dealt with us stopping leaked information," Sam5 said while I take an apple and begin to shin it with a plastic knife.

"Yes, and your point is?” I plainly said. "What I’m trying to say that, what if the information has to do with the government? As in, what I’m thinking is it my deal with project Umbrella," She said with concern.

I then looked up a Sam5 and said, "What? That's a pretty far assumption Sam5" "I know that seems a bit farfetched, but, I had seen some of the information," Sam5 said as she starts to calm down.

"Wait Sam5, this is not a place to talk about this stuff, but for now I'll keep that in mine for now. Come on well talk about this after the mission," I said as I patted her shoulder. “Thank you Caption,” Sam5 said as our eye's meet before I stepped out the room.

***

Meanwhile, after we had gotten off the plain to California there was some time for us to wander around. So Johnny and I went to Starbucks to get some coffee for no reason. "Neil, can I tell you something exciting?" He said taking his phone out as we waited in line.

"You’re coming out the closet?" I said pasting his back "What? No, I'm going have a girl!" He said showing me the ultrasound on his phone.

"Hu, is your phone a tablet?" I asked studying his phone size. "Cut it out Neil. This is the most important thing in life to ever happen to anyone." He said pointing at the menu.

"I'll have the same but no caramel, and add chocolate chips." I ordered.

Johnny had his phone next to my face as he said, "She will be the next president! Or a doctor." We both moved out of the line and to the pickup line. "I just can't believe this is happening to me." He went on and on until he got his coffee.

"Do you need something in your mouth to shut up?" I said pushing him out the store. "Hay take it easy Mr. I wish I could be bat man." He said trying to do a vice impression of me.

***

Johnny and I wandered in to a McDonald's were we sat talking about different things. "So Neil, why don't you have some kids of your own?" Johnny asked catching me completely off grad.

"Yes, I do have one." I said rebounding my sudden change in thoughts.

"Really? Can you show me a picture?" Asked as the tray of french-fries was delivered. Taking out my wallet I showed him a picture that was tucked away in a sleeve. Johnny stared at the little girl in the picture for a while as he shoved french-fries in his mouth.

Soddenly he gasped and began to cough wildly. "Whoa, calm down. I said sliding his drink to him. "Is that..." He said relaxing a bit as he stuffed his mouth with fries and gulped down his coke.

"Yes it is. I hate to say this, but I'm scared to see her grown up so fast." I admitted look at the old picture in my hands.

"Captain." Johnny said snapping me out of me distant daze. "Don't worry about it. It matters that you keep her safe." He said smacking my hand as I tried to get the last chicken nugget.

"I guess we should head back it's 10 till." I said giving this old lady who worked here a two hundred dollars tip. "What? Why? I still haven gotten there McRib!" He yelled at me as I walked out.

***

"Gus, you’re a total ass hole," Johnny stated. "It's ok Johnny, exploding rocket propelled sharks are pretty scary when they are going 200 miles an hour," I exclaimed as I played with my phone.

"I know that caption; it's that flying in jets with a storm of them makes me paranoid." Johnny stated. "Will you’ll shut UP, already!" Sara shouted. She was apparently annoyed about our conversation.

"O, calm down Saris." Johnny said remarked. "Johnny, shut up," Sara said as she looked back outside the car window.

"Hey look we are here." I said as we pulled up to a huge office building and we went around to the back. "Caption, are we going to use the fancy Gravity boots today?" Gus said excitedly.

"Gus, you read my mind." I said patted his back. "That’s not what it's called.” Sam5 said out loud.

"Sam5, there's no time to be correcting me.” I said firmly. "Sara takes the boots out. Now is your gear ready?” I asked as I looked at my team.

"Yup" said Johnny excitedly.

"Check" said Sam5 with a sigh.

"Ready" said Sara with a thumb up.

"Gus?” I said looking to him.

"I don't have my earphones with me.” Gus said sadly. I sigh after the fact, this was his 6th pair this month. "Well, we will get some later Gus, and if you want I’ll pay for them,” I said as I looked at my watch and stated, "9:20 ten more minutes. Sara, what's taking so long?"

"Just wait caption, I have to adjust these boots so you don't go through the walls." Sara said fitting tithe her lap top. "You should have done that before we came here." I said scolding her.

"I did, but just a few more adjustments." said Sara as she continued to play with the computer. "Caption, do we set our lazars to stun?" said Johnny shorting his imaginary blaster at me.

"That's right we are here to make sure if she cooperates with us and if she does anything drastic." I said but I was interrupted.

"Done!” Sara said ebulliently. "Finely Sara, you sure took your time." Johnny remarked as I putt away my imaginary light saber.

"Johnny, shut up," Sara said in a pissed off tone. We then all put on the boots and Sara activated all of them with one press of a button.

Looking up at the 90 story building made me feel excited.

"Boy this is going to be a long walk," Johnny said out loud. "Who said anything about walking?” I said with a smirk.

"Just remember your training." said Gus as he checked his boots. "Gus, hold me,” Johnny said trying to jump but it didn't work.

"Johnny, shut up,” I said flatly. "Yes caption,” he said as his spirits when down.

I was the first to place my foot on the 90 degree wall with a light clank. Everyone else then followed in as we walked up the concrete side of the building. I slowly picked up the pace as we walked up. "Hey this is feels pretty awesome and weird,” Johnny stated.

"No shit Johnny,” said Gus as he was having no trouble with the boots. "Will any one spot us?” Sara said curiously.

"Sara, really who looks up at the buildings anymore," Johnny stated looking down at his phone..

"That’s a true story Johnny," I said.

As we walked up farther up, I started to feel a bad vibe came over me.

Then a thought comes over me, What if Sam5 is right?

***

"Why is this woman at the very top of the building," Said Gus as he checked himself for his earphones.

"She is at the 89th story Gus." Sam5 corrected. "Close enough." Gus said as he gave up.

We finally made our way up to the top of the building.

Lucky for us there was a league one story under her office.

Sara began to take out the things that were needed to open the window up. "Sara, set up the Bottle opener on the far right. That’s where the closet is at." I said pointing it out. A sudden strong breeze comes and moves all of us a bit away from the building.

"Whoa, I think we should keep the boots on." Johnny obviously stated. "No shit Johnny." Gus said under the intensity of the wind.

"It's done." Sara said as she went back down to us. "Alright everyone get in," I said and they did as instructed. When everyone was in Sara carefully placed the glass back in place and sprayed some foam around the cut glass. I then turned the lights on in the small room. And what the room was cluttered with paper and filing cabinets. It’s amazing how we didn't knock any of this down. "Captain, we are ready when you are.” Gus whispered.

I made my way to the door and cracked it open so I could see who was inside at the moment. Inside where 2 business men and Loren, they were talking for a bit, but said their goodbyes and left.

***

We waited a few moments later and we stepped out very casually. She didn't even notice us walk out of her only closet into the huge room. I walked up to her. Apparently she was busy texting to even notice me sand at her desk with my M16 pointed at her. I turned around to my team and they just shrugged. "E-hem!" I shouted.

She jumped 10 feet in her chair when she saw us. "W-Who are you!? How did you get in here?" Loren stuttered picking up her phone. "Miss. Abernathy we are here on the count of leaked information" I said confidently. If her eyes weren't wide now they were now. "Wait, your Neil aren't you?" She said suddenly.

"So what If she knows the captains name. We should end her now." Gus referred walking up. "Gus, shut up,” I said firmly as I stopped him.

"How do you know my name Loren?” I asked as I looked at her desk. "I'll tell you more if you put way your gun," Se he said with some fear.

"I don't trust her caption," Gus articulated. "Gus, what's your problem?” I remarked as I turned around. "Sorry caption, I just have a gut feeling that something is wrong." Gus said in a worried tone. I then handed my gun to Sara. "So what do you know about me?” I asked as she took a key out of her pocket and unlocked a drawer in her desk.

"What I have obtained is classified information to the Umbrella project that took place 40 years ago," she said with a large amount of pride.

"Apparently there going to make more solder like you but more advanced," she said conveniently. "Son of a bitch,” Gus added.

"Whoa, so you're saying they're going to be like making more Neil’s?” Jonny commented with an odd grin. "You can say that, but there also rumored that they're going to give this project to the Chinese government." Loren said.

"No way, that’s going to calls more conflict between them and the Russians." Gus stated.

"Do you have any other information?" Sam5 asked. She pulls out another file. "This is for you, it about your father. I read some of what he did; he's a good man Neil," she said with some sympathy.

"Neil, wait”... Gus started but stopped. "What is it Gus?” I said as some annoyance showed.

"Are you sure this is the right thing to do?" Gus questioned my action. "I have to know Gus.” I said facing him.

"Now, I don't want to hear another peep from you," I asserted. "But.” Gus began.

"It was an order!" I told him.

I turned back to the file and opened it. Inside there was his picture. It's been too long since I've seen his face. I then looked through his file as I ignored my last name and at the back of it read, “Commander A###### has been discharged for the act of insubordination actions to General Dave Matthews and General lieutenant colonel Mat Henry Ferguson. He will be contained and be persecuted for his actions.”

I looked further and I found was that it was stated that he had escaped detainment. But what did he do exactly? Does this mean he’s alive some wares?

I looked up at Lorain, but she spoke before I did. "Your father's still alive Neil," she said pretentiously "That can't be," I yelled.

"Yes Neil, he’s still alive like it or not." She said, but then we glanced at the time again. "I'm so terribly sorry, but now it's seems my rides here," Loren manically said. "What?” I scoffed.

"Everyone GET DOWN"!!! Johnny yelled. A helicopter came to the window behind us and a few guys and a mini gun splattered there bullets along the walls. I managed to get down in time but Gus and Johnny didn't have any cover or time. Sam5 and Sara where next to steel cabinets.

Blizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, the mini gun spun on until Lorain got in the helicopter and they flew away in the matter of moments. I got up very slowly as Johnny's bloody body slid of me. "Sam5, Sara you're still alive?" I said as looked around. "NEIL! Help me"!!! Gus shrilled as his body filled with holes twitch in pain.

Gus was against s the wall. He had screamed my name in vain as he bleed out. "Ya, we are alive but Gus is fucked up bad!" said Sara dusting herself off. I flipped Johnny over and took his medic pack off.

I’m not as trained as Johnny but here it goes. I told myself as I ran over and saw the extents of Guess injuries and what I could say there was about 37 bullet holes in the poor old man. He was even lucky to even breathe.

"Neil I'm not going to make it," he shakily said. "Don't say that Gus," I told him while I took out fillers and morphine. "No I’m going to be with Johnny soon," He said as looked in my eyes and puts a shaky hand on my chest. "I hope you kill that son of a bitch. Even though he's your... s-s" Gus said slowly.

As his vital signs were failing fast. "Come on, stay with ME"!!! I yelled as I shook Gus back to himself. Gus took a deep breath in and said his last words, "Good by Alexander.....” I stopped trying to keep him alive, because I had failed. I got up without a tear in my eye, throwing the medical box out the window and flipping the desk made me want to ball.

"Call it in Sara, our mission is a failure.” I said running my finger through my hair.

Sam5 takes a blanket from the couch on the other side of the room, and placed it over Guess body and takes a moment. I then walked over to Johnny and took off my black coat and placed it over Johnny. "You were the smartest of all and even though you never shut up... You were always talking of your new family. I'm sorry." I told him.

***

We waited a few minutes before back up came to clean up the mess.

"Captain, we got your message... Holy Shit!" Special agent David said as he walked through the elevator with came in. "What happened here," he asked. I was standing in front of her desk looking over my dad’s file. "A helicopter came and shot up the place killing 2 of my men. Now, do you have the ride we requested?” I said coldly. "Yes, sir it's already prepared back to Montana." he said as the others looked about the room.

"Good, come Sara, Sam5," I said as we walked past him and into the elevator. "Get someone to clean this mess up." I said anger in my voice.

Ding, the elevator doors closed and we made our way down to the lobby. "Neil... What are you going to do when we get back?” Sam5 asked with fear. "I’m going to have a word with the man." I said as I squeezed my guns steel handle, crack.

2: Dam...

Temp, temp, temp my foot steps echoed down the hallway to his office. I was nerves to say. So I thought about the plan that I had made on the way over." The plan." I said in myself to calm myself. I took a deep breath in and walked in the office. "Sorry, I'm late lieutenant General Ferguson." I said emotionless as I have for years.

He looks up from his desk and waves to the chair. "Please sit," he said gesturing to the chair in front of him. I closed the door and took a set. "I know what information was with her, but first how did she escaped?" Lieutenant said, opening his cigar box. I found that amusing that he needed to smoke every time we meet. "A helicopter came by with a mini gun with a few friends and shot everything up." I said coldly, dropping the report down in front of him.

He glances down with out a single care. "I'm sorry for your loss Neil, but did she tell you anything?" He said while leaning on his desk wanting me to cut to the chase. "Yes she did in fact she told me mostly everything," I said, admittedly.

He frown at my answer. "Go on." Lieutenant said like if he wanted to get it over with. "She told me that project Umbrella was going to have a reboot to make more soldiers because one is apparently insufficient, and that it may go into the Chinese hands as well." I said.

he raised his had and said quickly, "That part with China is a lie. Listen Neil, this project is what Americans needs to have a brighter future.”

know what he's trying to do.

"No, it going dark, in America we don't need super soldiers to have peace." I said austerely.

The man leans back in his chair and puts a hand on his white mustache. "Neil you have grown into a man during my time here." He said without looking at me.

"Yes I have, and I know that my father is still alive.” I responded. The man gets up and starts to pace left and right behind his desk.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked impatiently. "Neil I didn't have the right to until his recent appearance 5 years ago," he said, as I look down at his desk and to his name...

Mat Henry Ferguson…

The man steps out of my view as I felt my anger build up in side of me and everything started to feel slow.

He was lying to me. He was the one who let me kill *innocent** lives! And for what to in the end put me down so he can run away from his biggest problem!*

Clink, a slight noise caught my full attention. I look with my eye's to the right. He raises his arm. "Neil I’m sorry my son, but you've been marked as red from now forth you have lost all right as human." he said his monotone voice. He then tried to inject me with pure chloroform, but I caught his hand before he could get the needle into my neck. "Your request had been DENIED!" I said with gritted teeth. I placed a large amount of pressure into twisting his arm that I dislocating and tearing his arm muscles.

The man fell to the floor silently as he gasped in pain. I got up and stood over him with the needle. I tossed it into the trash and stomped on his knee bricking in into several pieces with a light snap and crack. He couldn't say anything, because the pain.

The man could only coughed up blood while his arm shook. "G-guaann. f-fuck you,” was all he could say. I picked him up and placed him back on his chair gently. "I'm sorry it had to end this way for you. It was fun bring a loyal dog. I really did enjoyed it, but it's time for me to move on to find my real dad." I said, face to face as I placed my thumb on the back of his neck and hand on his jaw.

"Good bye, Stepfather," was the last thing I said to him.

Crack, I smashed his neck bones into pieces with the twist of my thumb. Getting up I made sure I didn't have any blood on me. I then turned his chair around to face the painting of a woman that was my mom...

With full of hate I took off the painting and placed it next to his desk.

"Ok, then Lieutenant I’ll not fail you again!” I said aloud to make sure the guards could hear what I said. I walked out, as I did. I told the MP that he was not be disturbed for an hour.

"His orders." I said. The MP nodded and stood tall. I then casually made my way back to my room. I felt relieved that it was finally done. That old man was an ass.

I opened the door to my room and went to my bed. Under it I took out the things I had previously packed, a small suitcase with passports with lot's of money. It also had my 44. Magnum and my mom’s 9.mil.

In my closet was a one strap backpack that had some clothes in it. I quickly got my laptop and took everything out with everything into one file to be drag out and pasted onto my USB. It will take 10 minuets to complete. So I had some time to make sure I was prepared.

First thing that should happen after I get over the high wall is the alarm. Then they will have a lock down. Once they figure out I have left. There will be a mass of ground troops to come for me along with dirt bikes. From there I will turn 46 degrees to the right to the small under ground room next to the burnt tree... I will stay for 3 day's and leave in the morning.

A beep from the computer should me it was half way done.

Where will I go first... I will go to Ohio to start the such for my dad. If I can't get any information the next place would be to Texas. I would have more luck, because I have a few friends who will be by my side.

I thought, passing back and forth next to my bed. A sudden thought came to me...

What about Sam5? I just can't leave her... I made a promise to Jay. No, I can't drag her in this. She needs to stay James.

I can leave the people I love. They have done it to me so many times. Why is I so difficult!

I throw my fist down on my desk and it broke into pieces. A picture fell; it was my team... They where dressed for the Christmas party last year. Gus and Johnny had there shot glasses in the air. Sam5 had a teddy bare I given her. Sara and I where drunk.

We all looked so happy not to mention the funny face I made as Sara split my last drink.

It beeped a second time for me to now stop myself to make way over to a janitor closet. 2 hall ways down to the right and then to left.

Once there I unlocked it with a spare key that someone had missed placed. I when inside, I opened the air vent shaft on the far left of the room and started to claim the rope I had place there last week. It took me straight up to the first floor and into an unused room that was under construction. I looked around and there no one there. I walked to the window and took out my sonic pen, but before I broke the window I placed tape over it to stop the glass from making lots of noise.

Placing the pen to the window cracked the glass into a spider webbed. It was now easy to get through so I kicked it. Thump, the window fell on the grass.

It worked perfectly.

I then quickly made my way over the short wall and into a small grass field that the guards could see me. So I ran to the 10 Foot brick wall with barb wire. I tossed a portable grappling hook to top and started to climb. Suddenly EEE, EEE, EEE! The alarm’s sounded.

“Shit, it seems they found out.” I said making it to the top with ease. Pop, crack, bullets slammed next to me making me jump off the wall. I rolled and tumble down the hill on the other side of the wall. When I finally stopped my dizziness made running very difficult.

I run through the forest bumping into a tree or two. Vroom, the sound of motorcycles came rushing in from behind me. "Dam it." I mumbled as I kept on running. Sooner then I thought they were behind me.

They were catching up a bit too quickly.

From a distance I could see a break in the woods. "It might be the drop of a cliff." I said with hope. Bang, Bang, Sara's was new at shooting distance. I ducked under a log and a bullet slings by my head.

Almost there!

"Neil stop"! A female yelled from behind me. I didn't look back I kept on running through the quickening dense woods so slowed my pace as I could now see what was at the end.

"Holy shit." I said under my breath. It was a ledge as I had suspected. it whet directly to a sink hole that was filled with water and there was also a huge whirl pool.

"Fuck I’m now trapped and this is too wide to get around." I said aloud to myself looking around for an escape. I moved behind a tree and took a flash banger out of my bag and clipped it on to my belt. “Come out Neil.” Sara said getting off her motorcycle along with Sam5. This plan will seem cliche, but never the less here I go.

I stepped out from hiding; now standing at the league of the sink hole. “You should had expected this Sam5.” I said somewhat coldly. Looking at them I could see about 35 or so heavily armed guards with there guns pointed at me behind them. “Yes I was, but why Now?” Sam5 said shaking her head with her gun facing downwards.

“Ok can we cut the crap and take him down already?” Sara said, in patently as she chewed her gum.

Was she’s always this way. I wonder why she gets this bitchy… O right… I had shot her new computer after Gus finished all my tea.

Sara then takes out her phone and start’s to text. “I’m sorry Sam5, but under the circumstances. I had drawn the last straw of planning my destiny to my own life.” A few of the guards advanced while I was talking.

The thing was that they didn't know there guns had been sabotage to ether jam or explode when they shot.

I'm so smart.

I then looked down at her gun so she would think that something's up. “Bye the way Sam5 your gun has double safety on the right side.” I said pointing to her gun as both Sara and Sam5 look at the gun. Since they where distracted I tossed the flash banger between them and jumped back.

Bang, It went off cosign Sara to shot. The bullet of the 357. Went through me as it did it crashed into my left shoulder blade making it shattered into many pieces like glass. All the defected guns made clicks and booms as they tried to fire at me.

My body was thrown farther than expected so when it had hit me literally I was out of reach. when my body fell deep into the water; I couldn't help to think how much better this could have gone.

With my body paralyzed I was spun around and around I couldn't take it. My lungs were like balloons surrounded by spikes.

I hate dying it suck’s…

I was pulled in deeper into the whirl pool and the presser intense to the point everything went white; there was no sound either and then there was nothing.

3: A Ruff Entry

Swirling around, and around in the lung bursting water until everything went white despite my darkening vision. In an instant the crushing weight of the water was lifted as my body felt it was falling out of the sky.

Did I die? Why do I feel like if I was flying?

Whack, my body hits something that close lines my stomach which makes me wish I was dead. My vision was black at the edges and below my I could see the ground but it was spinning.

How the hell did I get up here? Are they still after me? So many questions…

I closed my eyes, because of how dizzy I was and I didn't want to vomit. A sudden snap of a twig catches my attention

A pony?

He looked frighten and took a step back when we meet eye’s. He was wearing a black button up shirt with a silk red tie. His hair looked to be dark brown and his fur looked to be golden brown.

That mark. This can't be a quintessence.

Crack, snap, the tree branch I was on fell under my weight and I hit the ground with a solid thump.

“Ow.” I said after the fall to the floor witch hurt a bitch ton. “Are you in need of assistance monster?” The pony asked . “Maybe, but from your prospective how is my concision?” I said in a smart ass tone.

He stood there for a moment of hesitation. He came next to me on my left side. I was too weak to move, plus there was some dizziness still spinning the floor that.

“What happened to you monster?” He asked looking down at my bloody shoulder in disgust. “I’m a human and I have a name it’s Neil, nice to meet you to.” I said with a ragged breath’s as I strained myself when I tried to sit up.

“Can you get up Neil?” he asked as he trotted around me offering a hoof. “I’m kind of exhausted... Just give me a moment.” I said, taking a moment to stop shaking.. It then took a lot of energy to get up with moving my right arm which could heal, but the bone has scattered around. It will take about a week to fully recover with medical attention. I took his helping hoof with my right hand and got up slipping do to the pain.

I grunted with pain as I stood next to the pony. “That was harder than expected,” I said aloud. I lean my body agented to tree taking in deep breaths trying to catch my breath. “Pony what’s your name... Also wares the nearest town from here?” I asked as the ground slowed to a stop from the spinning.

A massive headache was coming my way as I tried to keep myself from passing out. He looked worried at my constant gasping for air. “My name is Fallout and there’s a town called Ponyville close by.” He said coming to my side. “All right Fallout, let’s get going.” I said placing my left hand on his back and walked as the headache settled in witched obscured my vision with large colors dots. '"Can you help me find my stuff?" I asked.

We looked around for my one strap backpack and briefcase. I pointed to where they were at. So I leaned next to a tree as Fallout pied up my stuff. He carried my backpack and I healed on my brief case. “Thanks’ Fallout.” I told him as we walked. At first the pace whet from slow to I was feeling better. Walking with Fallout was something out of a movie or something it was nice to finally get away from it all latterly.

***

We walked about 7 minutes when Fallout stopped and moved his ears like radio dishes. We were still in the light shuffling tree's. “It’s going to rain.” He said looking around.

We walked further into the woods when Fallout saw something that he pulled me to walk faster. “Come on I can see a cave we can stay at until it calms down.” Fallout said, leading me to a large cave that looked uninhabited.

The sound of thunder roars through the air as the very heavy rain came pouring down soddenly after. “Dam.” I said almost jogging after Fallout to the big cave. We stopped inside and the sky was getting darker from the black clouds covering the evening sky. “Nile you should take it easy.” Fallout said worriedly looking at my wound. “Don’t worry, I had worse done to me… Fallout, since we are going to stay here for a while let’s take a look.” I told him as I walked into the dark cave.

“What? Hay wait it might be dangerous!” Fallout said, with caution while trotting after me. I skimmed my hand on the side of the wall as we walked past the cave entrance. “There might be something we can use.” I told him bluntly, and I then took my lead off into the dark cave that to me I could see fine, because of my eyes reflected the darkness so I could see perfectly.

“Ok, but if we die I’m not taking you to Ponyville.” He scoffed at me while he tailed in behind. “Now that would be a dilemma don’t you think?” I said jokingly deep in the dark cave where.

I kept moving on further into the cave until I could see light. “What’s that over their Neil?” Fallout asked while passing me up.

This guy is a fool.

I finely made it to the light sores was at and well I’m now pretty sour I have loosed a lot of blood, because in the cave was a lite torch next to a wooden door with a 'welcome' mat in front.

I sighed, “Fallout am I dead or this is what I think it is.” I asked very unsure of what life is taking at this moment. “Neil, you’re defiantly not dead. And this looks welcoming. Let’s see whose inside.” Fallout said, before I could protest in taking a different approach to this strange door.

Click the door opened and Fallout walked in. “Anypony home?” He asked waiting for a reply as he stepped in. “Whoa… look at this place it’s like a library.” He said walking in.

I waited before I walked in, because I kind of have a bad feeling about this. I shrugged and walked in the cave door. Inside where tones of book shelves and a few lab equipment for some chemistry experiments. And in the far front of the room there was another room that looked strange.

“This place is amazing!.” Fallout said; he was apparently stoked. I walked over to a closet and in side was potions of some kind. Well I figured that out from a lab that said 'potion of some kind.' I know the pony who did this is a real genus. “Is there anything helpful?” I asked Fallout who diapered…

“I found peaches!” Fallout yells coming out of a door labeled 'kitchen.' I looked at the door we came in from 'exit' it read. This pony must be OCD.

“Judging the look at this place it must be about a 1000 years old or so.” I said to Fallout as I took the jar away and examined it. “So this is old and that what I just ate might be expired.” He said thinking this through. “The restroom is on the left.” I said pointing in the direction of Fallouts safe haven.

He ran off and I decided to have a look at the strange room that had writing on the edges. Before I got there a book on the table that caught my attention. Sole fusion it read on the books its spine.

Je I wonder what this is about.

I opened the book to the first page and saw some relatively hard to read writing.

I have hypothesis that we are linked in some way; therefore all living species are solely the same. For instance a pony and a zebra, what if I can mix there soles together to make a smarter being that can learn more then one pony could ever do. Also I could possibly make the best solders for Princess Luna. I have already and take action to further my studies. And so for its quite stunning in the results.

I looked away and say Fallout go inside the strange room and it lite up with blue and white lights. “Look Neil I can see a tunnel at the end of the rode.” Fallout said aloud, His legs gave way and he fell down.

Shit, this is very bad.

I ran over and the room became distant as I tried to get Fallout but I fell down as well and I lost all feeling.

***

Some time has passed bye until I woke up. I awake in medieval looking room that was the size of a gymnasium. Fallout was asleep next to me and well, the room was a bit dark but there was a fire place that had blue fire.

My wound is not here anymore…

“Ah… it seems I have gests.” A voice said somewhere from the right of us. I looked around and saw a lone figure with a wooden pipe looking towards our way. “Where are we sir?” I asked trying to get a better look at this pony. “You are in my prison and you are just gusts passing through.” He said with his voice sounding old and rugged. “Are you the one who made the room we went into?” I asked knowingly of the answer.

“Well of cores. If it wasn’t me you wouldn’t be here.” The old stallion said waving his hoof. “By the way what are you? How did you so happen to come in a portal?” He asked as he set down his pipe.

Portal? Yup, that makes sense but how are we going to get out of here?

I took a moment and replied, “My name is Neil I’m a human, and I did come through a door in a cave in the middle of no ware.” Fallout just woke up and stretched. “Coffee, I need coffee…” He said sitting up and a cup of coffee was levitated to him.

"Thank you.” He said to no one in general. “Who’s this friend of yours Neil?” The old pony asked getting up and headed to the wall.

“I’m Fallout… Ummm, this coffee is the best I ever had.” He said as he gulped it down. “It’s nice to meet you, and I have some news for both of you.

Clack, the room lite up with crystals and I could see the stallion now he had a long white beard and a wizard hat along with a cape. He reminds me of Mickey Mouse from Fantasia 2000.

“But first I have to introduce myself. My name is Star Swirl, I was imprisoned here because of my ignorance of learning to do something that the world was never meant to be exposed of.” Swirl said while he sat down in a big chair and waved us over. “Well Star this quite a nice prison you have here.” Said Fallout looking around in amazement.

“Star Swirl, how do we get out of here? And where is here exactly?” I asked a bit worriedly. “In time boy, I have to explain myself first.” He said taking his pipe and placing in it, what is I assume is Tabaco. “I’m here, because of an experiment that killed me.” He said very calmly as he took in a huff of his smocking pipe.

“What!? Dose that me we are DEAD?!” Fallout said dramatically.

“I was experimenting with sole transfusion before I had die. The third time I transfused I expecting a different result when I had combined 2 deer’s together. The spell was too weak still, so it tour them apart. So I made several amusements and cleaned up the mess in the room. The spell activated without warning and my body was transported into this room that is like limbo.” Swirl said remembering the events. “You said you had died but your body transported?” I asked him.

“Indeed I did, my body was no longer with me I was turning into dust when I woke up. Princes Celestia’s, mother told me why and what my punishment was so I’m here and now that leaves the question. Not how but what; happens to us.” He said like if he solved a riddle, but in fact he had started a new one. I looked at Fallout he was sweeting with fear witch was actually his sole.

That means we are like in a matrix type of world…

“Swirl I have a feeling that only one of us will walk out of this place alive, but there’s a part of me that also knows that in fact both of us will walk out but something life changing will effect one or the other.” I stated to Swirl as I pulled out an Arizona tea and opened it. “It seems you have figured it out on your own and knows the rules of this place. My Gorge, you are the smart cookie aren’t you?” He said chuckling at my observation.

Fallout remained silent and was interested in what I was drinking. “I can imagine how terrible that must have been for you.” I said siting down in a chair that appeared behind me. I gulped some tea down the very refreshing tea. “Why are you acting this way? Aren’t you worried at all?” Fallout asked pulling a jelly donut from the side of his chair.

“When you lived for a long time you know not to fret over predicaments no matter how large and just go with the flow.” I said to Fallout while he scarfed down his donut. “Well said Neil.” Swirl praised. A few moments passed as I enjoyed the company of a wizard and a random pony with a cool name. “I’m not to sure what will happen, But what I can say is that… Neil, Fallout your bodies have combined into one.” He said a little slowly to help us proses this.

Fallout didn’t take this to well as to sort of speak, well if he could. “So you’re saying there’s on body and 2 soles in one head. Kind of sounds like something like a movie plot to me…” I said. I wasn’t sure how that would work. Swirl looks at a grandfather clock and sees the time. “It’s time for you to leave, there is time to say. If you don’t you will both die and disappear so some other place that is out of anypony’s control.” He said getting up and opening a closet and wrote something with chalk on the doors with his magic.

“Come on and step in the wardrobe.” He ordered. We both went over and got in. I was surprised there was a lot of room for an elephant to fit in. “Once I close this door you will wake up into on or the other’s body and when you do the only way to separate you is until death dues you apart I think”. He said after he closed it shut casing us to black out.

***

It would be exactly 2 hours until I had woken up from the room. I was laying in the cave entrance when my eye’s shot open. “Fallout… Where are you?” I said while slowly getting up, but I was stopped by something.

It was information being shoved onto my brain. ‘Aaaagmmm” I screamed as I felt like hot metal hitting my body. The pain was so intense my eye’s nose and mouth were leaking dark blood. Images then shot into my red world around me. It was Fallout his sole is mixing with mine…

No I need to stay who I am no matter what!!!

“Son of Unnn!” More pain hit my nerves literally as arm spammed and my legs locked. I don’t think I’m going to live through this. My mind was racing with thoughts and voices. My memoirs where being scrambled to oblivion. At this rate my mind will become scrambled eggs.

There, what I can see in my head. The day I resaved my mom’s gun a cult 9. It's real name was the widows hammer. Gus was there, bloody and full of holes .Fallout was me and I was on the floor braking down. "Keep it together!" Fallout yelled staring right at me.

Another memory passes into my view it’s when I have my fifth birth day. My dad was dressed up as a cowboy and I was replaced with Fallout as a filly I was watching from a window from outside. They took out a cake and I blew out the candles. "Stop this NEIL!" Fallout yelled in is young voce.

"I’m losing it." I told myself to never go that far. Now I believe it can’t be stopped. It was inevitable I knew living this long would make me crack. I laid on the grown quietly, there was lots of blood on the ground that came out of my shoulder, but it seemed I was laying here for a long time.

The blood was dry, my body has been relaxed, and in my mind; it was settled down.

It's morning

I took things slow as I got up. The first thing I noticed was the wound on my arm, it had reopened. “This is such a lovely day.” I mumbled to myself. I then stumbled to my things and took them. Now I was headed out to get help at Ponyville. “I wonder who long the walk is.” I asked myself.

***

I was walking in the direction that we were walking earlier ‘before’… Whatever you can call that what happened back in the cave. So, suddenly I was feeling somewhat heavier. I didn’t think a sole would weigh anything or it’s emotionally ‘heavy’ as to say. “Man… I miss my tea.” I said to myself feeling parched. I wasn’t caring any refreshments, so this dam forest is now hell. It reminds me when I walked the desert for 3 days without food but I at least had a bottled water.

“Why me? O, that’s right I’m what the U.S needed a hero to 'save' the world from the other evil around it. Like bull shit! The government is corrupted to the point they could do anything that want. And they will abuse the power of 'free will' as something we don’t actually have.” I said if I was contemplating with someone else. “Jesus, why dose life hate me? Am I something that was supposed to have never been created?" I mumbled to myself. I then gave up on any logical reasoning to myself.

***

It had been 10 minutes of walking and rambling on about random things. When I stopped and listened for a moment.

I can smell something. It’s like molded food along with burnt plastic. “Dam, it’s really unbearable. I should probably run right now.” I said starting up a jog to where I assume Ponyville is. My attention was then focused to the yellow glowing eyes in the tree and in boshes. That caught me as I started to run.

“Crappy toast crunch, what a surprise!” I once again mumbled to myself with gritted teeth. I took a quick look behind my back well I’m not sure if it was Mother Nature had done, but there were 3 wolf looking wooden like things chasing me.

why are they chasing me?

“How would it benefit the wooden wolfs it had ate me? It’s wood! Where’s the god dam LOGIC!” I yelled hearing one of them gaining on my tail. “Bad dog!” I told the wolf thing dog.

Chomp, snap, the dam thing tried biting me, but I grabbed a low tree branch and sling shot it in the wolf’s face. The wooden wolf tumbled to a dead stop as the other 2 where looking at each other.

Ok this situation is getting brighter. I only hope there could be a canon blast after I die maybe. Hay I wonder if these thing can morph into one big wolf; that would kick ass.

The other two wolfs where now on both sides of me and they were getting closer by the second. The smart thing to do would be is to stop and run in a ‘U’ shape to keep them behind me; therefore I show run faster and go to the left slightly and take on the wolf by hitting it. "With what I asked myself?" I said huffing.

I will find out as soon I prepare myself.

I then did what I told myself to run faster so one wood wolf dog thing would behind me and now I have the advantage with speed. If I slip it be like Gorge of the jungle.

Whoop, boom, the sounds of the wolf exploding against the log as I slide underneath a large log. “Take that T-Pain as in Timber pain.” I yelled to the decimated wolf which was out of sight. Such pounds but too much wow.

What, that was a bad pun. Why am I saying thing like that? Was it Fallout…?

The snaky wolf bastard scratched my back and ripped my 'new' one strap back pack off. I tumbled and rolled on the forest floor as the wolf tried to stop but hit a tree. It had only dazed it for a while. I quickly got up and picked up my ruined back pack and my brief case. I took off in a faster sprint.

I could feel the blood dripping off my back and I could smell poison it smelled of burnt rope, hay and pine. “This sucks.” I said to myself.

My wound wasn’t that deep but the claw did scratch my spine. This is a exciting day with an adventure that can be enough for a week in my book.

Whoa, is that flat lands ahead?

I saw the end of this hell that made my happy as a kid in Disney world quite the ride.

My legs are feeling like jelly now and my heart is now racing faster than my eyes flash red as my breath became raged. The poison was spreading. There’s nothing I can do about it. I continued on running until I tripped over a tree root and fell in the grass field with a thud.

My body was parsley paralyzed and I felt stiff as a board. I slowly flipped myself over and I was taking short breaths from the stain. Looking up at the morning sky there where a few clouds roaming around. I wonder how long this will last.

I will probably die again. Why is it too hard to have a quick death not one that takes an hour to a day. That is just cruel to do to me.

I just want to be alone…

“There’s a Charley in the bushes.” I said moving to a more comfortable position to prepare for the attack I was going to receive from the wolf that was getting closer to me. I have to say the smell is absolutely terrible I wonder why it smells that way.

“I can see you.” I told it as it peeked from the bushes. I got up despite my condition. It took a moment before it lunged out to me. Crack, I sucker punched the wolf right on the snout it dazed the wolf again. Whack, Smack, I cracked the wooden wolfs neck and caved in its wooden barrel type of a chest. It wasn’t too happy about that and it tried to bit my head, but I moved my arm in the way.

The wolf’s sharp wooden teeth tour through my arm’s flesh. “Aaguufuck YOU!” I yelled putting my other hand at its chest. The explosive sound of a cannon shook the ground violently underneath me as passed out after a blinding gray explosion obliterated the wolf into ashes.

***

I awoke leaning against a tree on top of a hill in a grass plain with mountains in the distance. I saw Fallout walk up the hill and sat down next to me with a bag in his mouth. He puts it down and says, “Welcome Neil I can see you had a rough time out there.”

“No shit, it was nothing but kittens, and rainbows.” I said sarcastically taking another look around. “Fallout did we die? Or we are in my head right now?” I asked as he took out 2 glazed donuts and hoofed one to me. “I’m as clueless as you are. I have been walking in these plains for a while and the strangest thing is that I could hear you faintly.” He told me nibbling his donut. I nodded for no reason and thought about some Arizona tea and in an instant a blue cooler appeared next to me.

“Awwww Yeeeaaa! I said with excitement. I opened it up and pulled on out. “What’s that Neil?” Fallout asked taking one in his hoofs. “It’s my only favorite type of tea in a can.” I said opening his can with my fingers. “I’m guessing this is something I can’t open with my mouth?” Fallout asked smelling its contents.

“You can but you will probably loss some teeth doing so.” I told him as he took a sip. “Not bad but it test’s kind of strange.” He said putting the can of tea down and fell to his side. “You don’t understand the way of the artificial flavors young one.” I told Fallout but I was interrupted by the evening sun get brighter and it became blinding until there was only white.

“Neil! What’s happening!?” Fallout screamed as he vanished into nothing. “Don’t GO! Waite, I still need to help you…” I yelled as my body was then was blown away like golden ashes off of a blazing inferno. At the same time I was at peace for what lays ahead when I wake up…

Side story with this guy

One day ago in Equestria in the Crystal kingdom train station, It was about 5:30 AM. I was about 30 minutes early to the train station and I was feeling excited to finally be here. I trotted to the conductor with a big grin. I gave him my ticket and asks me, “Why so early? Is it to catch the worm?”

“Well I’m not too sure about that, but I know it’s another beautiful day, don’t you think?” I said looking around at the still shadow of the night sky that was being moved to make way for Celestia’s sun.

“Yup, it is… I'm just going inspect something. Bye.” He said trotting off around me to the baggage cart. “Ok…” I said, walking to an empty cart in the back and took a seat in the middle of the cart.

I placed my satchel next to me and remember something. “I forgot snacks.” I said to myself ashamed. Looking outside some other pony’s had stared to come in to the train station. I felt a sudden strange wave of fear overcome me while a family of 3 walk in and take a set in the front. “Why?” I asked myself. Putting my head down on the table and desisted to fall asleep. I hope this feeling will go away later.

***

As the time goes by, I finally get some sleep, but the train comes to a stop at the Canterlot train station. Some of the pony’s walk out but a few stay to chat.

“Excuse me miss, but when would the train go to Ponyville?” I asked a mare who was well dressed with an outfit that matched her blue eyes. She had just walked in as it made my way out. “O, my.” she said shyly as she batted her eye lashes at me, which confused me a bit.

“We’ll let me ask you. Will a fine gentle stallion like tour self be staying at Ponyville for a while?” Miss flutter eyes said. I still don’t understand why she’s looking at me that way. “Yes, I’m planning to make it my home… Do you so happen to live there miss?” I asked moving out of the way.

“Yes, I do dear; Infect I am a fashion designer with a shop called Carousel Boutique, your more than welcome to stop by is you want…” She said getting a bit closer to me. "That would be nice miss... but can you excuse me. I need to go." I said dancing on my hoofs impatiently. "What's the matter? Why are you ok?" She asked looking at me closely.

"I need to go to the restroom." I said flatly as I passed by her and made a wilted dash to the oval office.

After I watered the garden, I took a look around… up I mean, the mountain to where the princesses live. It felt exciting to see how closes it was to royalty. That would explain all the guards around here.

There was one guard that stood out, he had a clean white coat and blue mane unicorn that was with better armor than the rest. “I wonder if he’s a caption.” I said to myself, as I walked to a concession stand.

“Cannn... I have 3 bags of lemon chips 4 apple sodas and 2 of that sandwich there.” I said pointing to everything. “That would be 14 bit’s sir.” The young mare said, as she got the thing I wanted and put them in a brow bag. “Hear you go.” I hoofed her the bit’s and carried the bag to the train where I meet miss flutter eye’s looking bored.

“Hay, how are you doing with boredom over there?” I said jokingly as I sat in front of her and placed the snacks next to me. “Was it really that obvious?” she said looking over to see what I got. “By the way miss, what’s your name?” I asked while I took out 2 apple sodas. “O my, how silly of me. I forgot to introduce myself.” She said as she posed for dramatic affect.

“My name is Rarity one of the best fashionista’s you will ever meet.” She said sprucing a pose. “Well it’s nice to meet you Miss, Rarity.” I said do a little bow that made her giggle, because we were sitting down. “My name is Sir, Fallout. At your serves my lady.” I said as politely as it could get, she replied, “Aw, just call me Rarity. But what a strange name you have… Fallout.”

“I know, what strange eyes and what big ears you have said Red Riding hood. As the saying goes Miss. Rarity.” I said will little sarcasm. “Did I offend you?” She asked looking at me with concern. “No, it’s that no pony has said to me wow what an awesome name you have or just a simple, that’s cool.” I said to the stranger in front of me. “Fallout sweetie, I think it’s a rather a different name. In a nice different.” Rarity told me while I told my eyes.

“Thanks Rarity, by the way what type of cloths do you make?” I said taking a sip of cola. “Darling I can make anything that can come to mind.” Rarity said with a grin.

She take a sip of her apple pop before she began a very long and boring conversation that would want to go to the restroom again.

***

I still wonder why she keeps looking at me that way. The train then starts to depart and we leave to the next town ‘Ponyville.’” On the way over we talk a about things we like and our home town. It was quite interesting to know that Rarity had an assistant ‘Dragon’ named Spike; therefore I should meet this dragon and see if he like’s comic books.

“We are almost there Fallout.” She said taping a hoof on my arm. I was feeling bad from all thing’s I ate. “Yay…” I said waving my hoof in the air. “Maybe you should take it easy with the snacks next time.” She told me as she moved the trash off the table into the brown bag with her magic. “This day, is my first day out of Zebraska.” I said looking out the window.

“How do you like it so far?” Rarity said, I looked back at her and stare into her eyes and said, “This is going to be one of the most remember able days of my life. Especially when I met you, miss. Rarity.” Rarity then blushed madly, she tried to cover it up, but it was too obvious. “T-Thanks Fallout.” She stammered.

Why is she blushing is it something I said? “Look, were here.” I said as the town came onto plane view. “It’s not as big as I imagined it to be, but it looks like a nice place.” I told Rarity but then saw she was in disconcert. “What’s wrong Rarity?” I asked. “The train should be slowing down by now” she said looking out the window.

The train indeed didn't stop. It passed the train station and kept going at a constant high speed. I looked at Rarity and got up. “Come on let’s see what’s going on.” I insisted.

She fallowed me out to the next cart. This one was with a few ponies who looked confused. “It’s going to be alright we will check up on the situation.” I amounted to the ponies.

We kept on moving to the next cart this one was filed with nothing but mares and I repeated what I had said and went to the front of the train. The conductor of the train was looking around for something. “What’s going on sir?” I asked polity. He was startled for a moment and said, “The pin for the brakes has fallen out and well were in no danger the train will simply will be slowing down soon. Can you help?”

Rarity stepped forward to the brake which was a lever that has a hole for the pin. “I don’t have any hair pins this size.” She mumbled. “Do you have a spare pin?” I asked. The conductor nodded no, “Hay what’s that on your hat?” I asked the conductor. He took it off and what was clipped onto it was the spare pin. “O, um…” he said as he took it off and put it in the hole with a click.

He then slowly puled the lever and it made the train slow down. “Well in the event like this I’m going to have to keep on going to next town.” He said looking at his clipboard. "Sigh, ok then ware’s the closes town from here?” I asked annoyed.

“Apple Loosa.” He said tapping at the map. “Well then we will wait.” Rarity said walking back to the passenger cart. I fallowed behind her and when we got back I told the pony’s that there has been a problem and we will have to stop at Apple Loosa.

“This suck’s Rarity.” I said getting my satchel on. “What are you going to do Fallout?” Rarity asked putting a hoof on my arm. “I’m going to walk.” I said. “What? You can't be serious the Ever Free Forest is not a safe place.” She said with a worried look.

“It’s ok Rarity, I'm a tough filly.” I told her as I took her hoof and shook it. “Good bye, I’ll see you later.” I said walking out of the cart and into the caboose where I hoped off the back and made my way through the Ever Free. “This will be exciting.” I said to myself walking into the forest. The train blew its whistle and began it's journey to Apple Loosa.

Can’t wait to get past this. I think the first thing I’ll do is eat at Cake’s place and catch up on life. Yup, that would be nice.

***

After what seemed 5 minutes of walking, I felt hungry.

Well that’s a problem.

I kept on walking and soon a strange feeling overcame me. I could put a hoof on it if was in front of me. “Is it sadness?” I said under my breath, but as I continued something spectacular happened a bright light from the sky came down, but the trees around me blacked my view of the thing. I ran over to what looked to be where it was falling to. A sodden (Boom) shook the ground underneath me. Splash, the sound of water caught me off guard.

“What the?!” I said while a small wave of water came flowing through my hoofs. A large amount of water in the middle of the woods out of nowhere? I slowly walked and I could hear something heavy hit at tree, along with some other stuff. “What’s going on?” I said running over and I stopped dead in my tracks to see something hanging on the tree and it was warring closes and had some what of long hair to it shoulders on its head and it seemed to be bleeding. I couldn't move for the longest time until…

4: Before you step off the starting line...

Upon the cold breeze of the night. I had woken up from my body involuntarily shivering on the grass plain. I felt dry blood from my back and the dehydration was horrendous on my muscles as if I haven't had anything to drink for days. I tried to swallow my own saliva but my throat was like sandpaper. "Cough! Cough!" I hacked, with pain.

I had managed to crack open my eyes. All I could see was a blurry mess. "Any one there?" I said if there was someone around. My muscles burned while it used most of my energy to move.

How long have I been out? Where am I?

I then wiped the eye gunk to see nothing around but the black of the night and the trillions of stars that littered the black sky. I watched as if I could feel the sensation of euphoria for a moment but it slowly died down. With all the strength I could muster I got to my feet. The world spun and my legs shook under my feet. I feel down to the floor like if gravity had increased.

“Nuh! Cough.” I moaned in pain. The wound on my back felt like it had ripped open. I can’t…I temporally blacked out, when I had woken back up I saw Sam5. She was sitting down next to me. “Caption, we need to get you to a hospital. You’re not looking so well.” Sam5 said gabbing a hold of my arm and pulled up to my feet. “Wha…” I said feeling her supporting me. “Don’t talk. Just walk, we don’t have any more time until it start’s.” She said as I tried to walk.

I couldn't think strait any more. All I knew was I’m walking with Sam5 back into the woods. Walk to the woods… The woods we walk, to find… To. I… I was a ghost lightly flouting along the dead leaves, past the old logs. Down next to the river bed, into a dirt road.

Sam5 stops as I tried to walk past the road. “This is were I have to leave you.” She said letting me down the floor slowly. “No… I need you to stay.” I protested. She looked me in the eyes before saying, “I’m only here to push you along. I’m sorry caption.” When she turned around I reached out for her. “Can you tell Sara, I’m sorry,” I said, stopping her for a second.

***

I passed out when I tried to get back up. My body locked up when I had woken up. The sky was bright, there was a slight breeze cruising by. “O, Neil what have you done with yourself?” The man said looking down at me. “What’s with the confused look? Aren't you happy to see your old man?” He said while I tried to move to no effect.

The man smiles at how I struggle to move. “You’re not going anywhere. The poison has paralyzed you to a certain degree. Don’t worry, it will only last several hours.” He said, walking around me. “In the mean time you need to take a nap.” He got on top of me and began to chock me until I backed out.

***

The world doesn't want me to go on... But some one else is pulling the strings. The puppet master wants me to move. I will move for her.

The snow grabbed me and has slowly crept it's claws of death to my limbs. "GAAA!" I yelled as I sat up I shock. I looked around to see no one around, but now I was in the middle of the snowed over road. Shit, must have been out for more then a month. When I tried to get up. My muscles felt if they where tightly packed iron springs that couldn't move.

In a situation like this, I made a small Ice shelter from the snow and once inside I took my lighter from my pocket and held it to my shaky hands. Clack...Clack, I pulled the little lever until the small blue flame came to life. I sighed in relief as the small flame heated my palm.

***

I had managed to warm up my body enough to fully function. I think I should take it easy. The poison might still be inside me.

Like a zombie, I busted the small shelter by standing up. The cold swoop to me as if where a ocean wave. "Whoa that cold" I said with chattering teeth. I picked a direction to walk on the snowed road and began the journey over the startling line.
