Chapter 1
"Captain, we've successfully captured one of the Generals!" Called out one of Captain Mortem's limitless number of troops stationed in Equestria. Creating the small pocket of protection of the north beach of this new land had been successful. His troops have been reporting sightings of the General for the past hour, the anticipation of successfully grabbing her, was beyond satisfactory. what fools would send their own general to the front line?
"Good. I want you to bring her the camp as soon as possible," Said Mortem. he needed answers as to what where their capabilities were to the usage of magic. It was baffling to the scientists, watching the two universe's laws of physics mesh and overlap one another. Their 'magic' limited their need for machines causing them to never fully develop to the up most capabilities of their intelligence. It wasn't at all like those sci-fi movies, where we were always worried about us being less developed in technology, but my, how the tables have turned.
Mortem was lucky that the camp was only twenty miles away from the front lines, because he was impatient, some would say that's his biggest flaw, but this 'flaw' got them the beach they needed to continue the rush onto Equestria. after about 20 minutes, the Cargo ship finally arrived.The force field, holding the pony was created soon after the discovery of Equestria and magic. Using a horn sawed from the body of a unicorn, human scientists manipulated it to create such a powerful protection device.
"I want you to bring her to the interrogation room, I have some questions to ask." Said Mortem, smiling wickedly as he did so.
The interrogation room was completely concrete, accept for the door, which was guarded by two heavily armed soldiers. inside was One chair bolted to the ground. strapped to that chair, was a cyan Pegasus. Ready for whatever came her way.
"Well, well, if it isn't Rainbow Dash, my quite the predicament your in," Said the Captain, leaning in towards her. "ya know, if you answer some questions, we can get you outta here, lickity split!" The Captain smiled. "Isn't that what you want?"
Rainbow Dash looked directly into the seemingly soulless eyes of her interrogator and said nothing. She was the element of loyalty she was sure as hell going to live up to it.
"Bit of a quiet one, aren't you. Then again, it wouldn't make much of a difference if I cut your tongue out!" The Captain shouted, before whipping his knife out and holding it under her chin. He shuddered and began to stroke her cheek with the knife causing a few drops of blood to appear out from under the sharp blade. He spoke with a mockingly comforting voice. "Hey, it's okay, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I'm just a little bit tired of torturing all your friends. Ah yes, Lyra was it? My, was she a loud screamer! but she shut right up when we busted her horn off," Said The evil man laughing to him self. Rainbow Dash was fuming, trying to keep her cool was beginning to not work. "Still not gonna talk, well that's a shame. I'm beginning to loose my patients. Ya know, some people tell me that's my biggest flaw, but their dead now, so it doesn't matter! You could say I lost my patients with them!" The Captain grinned. Unhappy he didn't get one back, he began to get angry.
"Come on! Talk! Do I have to hurt you? I mean, I want you in prime condition for your return, but that might not happen." the captain reached back and yanked a single feather from her wings, causing the cyan Pegasus to yelp. "hey! what's wrong am I getting under your feathers. I could pull out each and every one if I wanted to." He yanked a second feather from her, this time the other wing. She held back her cry of pain, instead just grimacing still staring back at her Captor with those rosy eyes of hers. "Ooo! a staring contest! I never lose at these, here I'll show you my winning secret!" Mortem, raised his fist up, before slamming it down onto Rainbow Dash's face. Rainbow Dash grunted, then spit into his eye, an act of defiance that Mortem did not take lightly.
"Arh! you little bitch!" Captain Mortem put his knife away, and pulled out a pistol. "You gonna pay for that you Fucker!" he aimed the gun and pulled the trigger, sending a bullet ripping straight through Dash's knee. One of the guards outside of the Concrete room flinched at the sound of Dash's cry of pain.
Heh! You like that you little whore!" he sent three more bullets through the poor Pegasus's leg, going straight through and digging themselves into the concrete floor below the chair. People could hear Dash's tortured Screams throughout the camp, but chose to ignore them, fearing the wrath of the Torturer doing this to her. "I could end your pathetic little life RIGHT NOW!" Screamed the captain raising his gun to be eye level with the Blood covered pony.
He sighed, "but I won't" he dug the barrel of his gun into the bullet holes on Dash's leg. Causing tears to form at the corner of her rosy red eyes. "We will continue this tomorrow." And he exited, leaving her in her blood splattered jail cell, uncertain what future was to be held before her. She let her tears spill out, knowing that no one could see her crying over her own self pity. She kept doing this until it was late in the night. That's when she heard the door to her cell silently open, a tall slim figure standing their, with the keys to the cuffs holding her in place.
Chapter 2
"W-who are you?" Rainbow Dash questioned, he was tall, covered head to toe in body armor, which gave him a slightly threatening look. He took off his Helmet to reveal a blonde buzz cut and bright blue eyes. he keeps a straight face.
"Pvt Vita, B.R.O.N.I.E.S. Jet-pack division, Ma'am" he smiles and quickly loses his composer, "Oh my god, Rainbow Dash, I'm actually fucking talking to her, wow!" It wasn't like Rainbow Dash wanted interrupt this guys nerdgasm, She just wanted to get out of this hellhole.
"That's great Private, but We really have to go, like now," interrupted Rainbow Dash. She didn't know if she should trust this guy, but it was her only chance of escape. He quietly shuffles over Unlatching the many Straps that held her down. Rainbow Dash jumps out of her chair, them lets out a small whimper. Her wounds had made almost impossible to walk, let alone be quiet.
"Alright you're kinda loud, so I'm going to go ahead and check each hallway before you run up. We have a guard by the exit that is on our side." The Private ran up to the door leaning his shoulder on the wall, then peaked into the hallway. He put his helmet on and said: "Alright it's clear, lets go," he shuffled down the hallway and began to check out the next, but he realized he was missing someone.
"Hey *pant* could you slow down a little" Rainbow Dash complained. She managed to limp about 4 feet before getting light headed, from lack of blood. Vita ran back over, picked her up, and put her on his back. she was surprisingly light, he could imagine just how difficult it would be to hold her if she was an earth pony.
"Alright hang on do you think you can fly, once we reach the exit?" Vita grunted, readjusting the where the cyan Pegasus was sitting. She had her front hooves, wrapped around his neck, her one back hoof perched on pack of his backpack, the other dangling uselessly below her.
"I-I think so..." Her wooziness was giving her a pounding headache. Vita Ran as softly he could, he didn't want to hurt Dash even more than she already was. They made it up to the next corner, but the second he peaked his head out he heard someone shouting, before he could sound an alarm, Vita shot twice, the first bullet ricocheted off the Guards body Armour, the next going straight through the Helmets visor, killing the wearer instantly.
"Oh Shit!" silently shouted Vita. Rainbow Dash Grimaced behind Vita's shoulder. he held the gun as if it were a smoldering heap of metal. he dropped the gun on the floor, thoughts invading his head on what kind of family the poor guy had, but before his thoughts made him feel anymore guilty, Rainbow Dash jumped down, and looked him straight in the eyes.
"Hey listen, Private, Doing this was unavoidable, let's be honest, I've had to kill people, I've never liked it, and I certainly never will" Dash put a hoof on his shoulder comfortingly. "If you let that death stay with you, let that guilt eat you up, we're not going to get out of here alive." Having ended her little speech, an alarm went off, apparently someone heard the commotion and went to investigate. The alarm was soon met by a whole lot of bullets whizzing by Vita and Dash's heads.
Vita quickly returned to cover. not letting any thoughts invade his head, except for the ones that involved getting Rainbow Dash out of here. "Get on my back! I'll get us out of here!" As soon as Rainbow Dash jumped on, Vita pulled out a Orange unicorn horn with a little gadget at the bottom with three big red buttons. causing dash to cringe a little at the sight, and Vita to mentally apologize for the life given up for the horn, before he quickly thumbed the middle button, creating a large force field in front of them. Vita made a dash for the door, it opening just as he reached it and a black gloved hand reached in and yanked him out of the camp's main building.
"What the hell, man, this was supposed to been quick and clean, what happened!" Shouted Pvt Imperium. looked over Vita's shoulder to see a heavily injured Rainbow Dash. "Alright never mind! we need to get her to Canterlot As quickly as possible!" Imperium shouted over the sounds of Alarms wailing.
"Alright!" Vita shouted back, he turned to Dash, "No offense Dash, but there is no way you can fly in your condition, and since I don't want the exhaust from my jet-pack to burn you. I'm just gonna hold you till we get there!" as he went scoop her up, she took a step back, looking at him questioningly.
"Jet-packs?"
"Remember, jet-pack division, we have magically powered jet-packs, we can fly like jets, with the maneuverability of a Pegasus" Vita grimaced before he could continue. "I just wish that we didn't have to forcefully take the magic, but it's the only thing we've got to survive with." Said Vita, putting the horn back into it's holster on the jet-pack, which now glowed a soft orange color, matching the color of the Unicorn horn.
"Your doing this to some poor unicorns?"
"No our satanic government is, this is what they gave us when we rebelled, it's all we had!"
"What are you talking about?"
"look, I-" Vita looked to his left noticing, a group of soldiers, marching towards them. "I can't explain right now, you just have to trust us on this!"
Rainbow Dash thought for a moment, it was either die here or possibly die later, the latter seemed like the better choice.
It wasn't long until the camp faded out of sight, the sounds soon silencing with it's disappearance. They where about two thousand feet in the air until shells began to explode near them.
"Flak!" Imperium managed to shout, before being ripped to shreds by the anti-air weapons.
"Shit! Rainbow, I'm going to try and land-" his shouting was interrupted by the roar of a shell, exploding very close to them, making Vita lose his grip, and causing her to plummet to the earth. Without any hesitation, Vita quickly followed pursuit. "Hang on!" his visor began to scream a whole bunch of different warnings to him before he grabbed Dash. Just above the treeline, with no time to pull up or slow down. Vita twisted his body with his back facing the ground. he braced as hard as he could clutching rainbow dash in his arms. before slamming into ground with the heavily injured pony, behind enemy lines.
