Mission: No Mission - Chapter 4

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Soon after finishing rehab - how to use my new eye and limb - I was to go on stealth mission into enemy territory, along with some other soldiers. I would always like to do missions on my own, but I knew the importance of extra firepower, I just hoped they were good, and not some bumbling idiots. We were to be briefed on the mission details by none other than the ruler of our empire, Celestia. Foals are told she controls the sun, but most know that's illogical. She is but a ruler, alongside her sister Luna. But sadly, Luna no longer rules alongside Celestia. Now known as Nightmare Moon, Luna commands the rebels, Moonlings, as she calls them.


I opened my eyes, my head pounding from a nightmare I could not remember. I reached up to my head with a foreleg, when I pulled it back in shock, the cold touch of my metal limb startling me. I groaned. I had to meet my new squad mates today. I always liked working alone after my last mission. Not only that, I overheard someone talking about how my squad was going to be a bunch of rookie hussies. I crawled my way out of my cot, and over to the door on the opposite side of the room. I pressed the big green button to the left of the door with my magic, and a slid open. On the other side, were what I assumed to be my squad.

One was an orange, proud looking, pony with blonde hair tied back in a ponytail with three apples on her flank. Then there was a cyan blue pegasus with a gay pride mane. For a cutie mark, she had a cloud that shot out multicolored lightning. She was hovering next to a butter-yellow pegasus that seemed to hide behind the cyan one. She had a long pink mane, and didn't seem to want to be here. She had three... uh... butterfly's for a cutie mark. Next to hew was a bouncing pink pony, with a bubbly pink mane, and three balloons on her butt. Finally, was the pony that seemed to want nothing more than to get a cleaner uniform. She was white, with a purple mane, and three gems on her flank, she was also a unicorn. Well, time for introductions.

"Who are you hussies." Smooth. I held back a smirk at their shock.

The cyan one growled, and flew in front of me, starring into my eye. None of them seemed to notice my cybernetics yet.

"Who you callin' a hussy!?" She yelled in her rough voice.

"You, now back off unless you want to be court-martialed for stepping out of line." I calmly stated. Her eyes widened and she backed off.

The orange pony looked mad, but asked the question I was anticipating. Well, almost.

"What's with that eyepatch and armor on yer foreleg?" She asked me in a common farm pony accent.

I sighed. "This isn't and eyepatch," I pointed at my cyber-eye, "and this isn't armor," I pointed at my cyber-leg.

They all starred.

"The eye is a replacement after it was ripped out. Same for the leg. It all happened a while ago after I was attacked by a giant spider from outer space" I waited.

I was shocked when they all started laughing at my 'obvious' joke. Well, besides the yellow one. I was getting mad.
