Chapter 9: drafted.
Blacklight slowly awoke, he was in a concrete room in a prison cell with a similar cell across from his own. His knife and saddlebag, along with all his equipment was taken from him and he wore a collar around his neck.
"ooohhhhh." groaned blacklight as he rubbed his head.
Blacklight looked at His new surroundings.
"where am I?" Said blacklight.
"your in the pit."
Blacklight looked to the cell across from his, inside was a green Alicorn with a blue gas like mane, sky blue eyes, steel plates bolted onto her hooves, and wearing a collar similar to the one he was.
"what's going on?" asked blacklight.
"you've been drafted." said the Alicorn.
"what do you mean?" asked blacklight.
"they are going to turn you into one of them, a blindly obedient alicorn soldier."said the Alicorn.
"what!?" said blacklight
He was becoming worried.
"why are they doing this? Who is doing this.?" asked blacklight.
"they call themselves the draft." said the Alicorn. "they are a bunch of artificially created Alicorns led telepathically by her."
"whose her?" asked blacklight.
"she calls herself the war maiden." replied the Alicorn. "they never meet her, they just take orders."
"so your not one of them?" asked blacklight.
"no! They may have taken me and made me this thing, but I am not like them." said the Alicorn. "I'm special, I'm the only one who doesnt listen to that bitch."
"so your a traitor to them?" asked blacklight.
The Alicorn nodded.
"when they turn you into them, you loose everything. Your memories, your free will, your name, your become a number." said the Alicorn.
"do you have a name?" asked blacklight.
"eon." replied the Alicorn.
Eon pointed to blacklight's collar
"that collar your wearing is blocking your magic." said eon.
Suddenly an Alicorn similar to the one that attacked blacklight at the garage enters.
"your time." said the Alicorn,
The Alicorn unlocked the door.
Blacklight thought fast, he had to escape or else not only would blade be lost, he would become a drone in an Alicorn army. Blacklight got an idea. they took his weapons and magic, but there was one thing they did not take.
Blacklight jumped up at the Alicorn, stabbing it in the eye with its horn. The alicorn screamed in pain as blood spurted from its eye. Blacklight stabbed the Alicorn again, this time in its chest. He kept stabbing with his horn until the Alicorn stopped screaming. Blacklight looked at the alicorn's body, blood dripping from his own horn.
Eon looked with surprise.
Blacklight searched the body and found a key.
Blacklight. noticed a keyhole on eon's collar. He grabbed the key that was in his cell's lock in his mouth, and opened eon's cell.
"what are you doing?" asked eon.
Blacklight spit out the key in his mouth and picked up the other key.
"unlock my collar." said blacklight.
Eon took the key and unlocked blacklight's collar.
"thanks" said blacklight.
Blacklight levitated the key and unlocked eon's collar.
"your...... Freeing me?" asked eon.
"I need to get out of here or else my brother will die." said blacklight. "but I need help."
Eon smiled.
"what's the plan my friend?" asked eon."
"we need to get my gear first." said blacklight. "do you know where it would be at?"
"yes, I'll lead the way." replied eon.
Eon rushed out of the room and blacklight followed.
The two ran down a concrete hallway.
"what is this place anyways?" asked blacklight.
"before the war it was some sort of research facility, built into a mountain." said eon.
As they turned a corner, they saw three Alicorns blocking their path.
"fire!" yelled one Alicorn.
They fired bolts of magic from their horns.
"behind me my friend!" yelled Eon.
Blacklight got behind eon as her horn began to glow. A blue wall of magic rose in front of them, blocking the shots.
"begone!" yelled eon.
The wall of magic surged forwards at high speeds, crushing the three Alicorns against the end of the hallway.
"come my friend, before more arrive!"
They ran down the hallway, stopping at a steel door.
"your weapons are in here." said eon.
Eon grabbed the door with magic, then tore it out of its frame. Blacklight ran into the room.
The room was filled with shelves of ammo and weapons. Among them was blacklight's saddle bag and knife.
"there it is." said blacklight.
Blacklight Lifted the knife up with magic and put it into its holster on his leg. Then he levitated his saddlebag onto his back.
"ready yet?" asked eon.
"almost!" said blacklight.
Blacklight grabbed some ammo and grenades from the room and put them in his saddlebag. Blacklight floated out his assault rifle and loaded a full magazine into it.
"lets go!" said blacklight.
Blacklight exited the room.
"where's the exit?" asked blacklight.
"It's down further." said eon.
"I know a shortcut." said blacklight. "is there a floor below this one?"
Eon closed her eyes. When she opened them they were pure blue. She looked at the floor, then back at blacklight.
"yes but there are multiple Alicorns down there." said eon.
"how did you-"
"it's a spell that allows one to see living beings through objects." replied eon as her eyes returned to normal.
Blacklight smiled.
"let me know where they are."
Blacklight went back into the room, and exited with a box of c4
"I like this idea friend." said eon.
Blacklight placed the c4 according to where eon saw the Alicorns. When he finished placing the c4, they stepped away.
"fire in the hole!" said blacklight,
He fired a shot from his rifle, detonating the c4 and blowing a hole in the floor.
"nice work." said eon.
The two jumped down the hole, the floor below was covered in rubble and Alicorn corpses.
"duster has to see this." said blacklight.
The two ran down the hallway.
They were nearing a large steel door.
"that's where they keep the chemicals that turn you into an Alicorn." said eon.
Gunfire could be heard from the other side.
"something is up." said eon. "the draft dont use guns."
They opened the door, inside five Alicorns were firing magic bolts at two ponies hiding behind an overturned steel crate. They were two ponies blacklight recognized.
"golden heart?, duster?"
"friends of yours?" asked eon.
Duster was firing at the Alicorns with his battle saddle, while Golden heart fired with her syringe gun. Their shots were deflected by magical shields that one of the Alicorns was creating.
"we have to help them." said blacklight.
Eon nodded and charged the five Alicorns.
The Alicorns noticed charging and generated a magical shield bubble around all of them. Eon reached them and raised her front hooves.
"no barrier can protect you!" yelled eon.
Eon slammed her hooves onto the shield bubble and it shattered like glass. Eon then fired sharp bolts of magic that pierced three of them through the head, while the remaining two were unfortunate enough to have been under eon's hooves when she broke the shield, they were pinned underneath her hooves.
Golden heart and duster looked in shock at the scene before them.
"all yours friend!" yelled eon.
Blacklight approached the pinned Alicorns and took aim with his rifle. He fired a burst into each of their heads, killing them.
"thanks." said blacklight.
"black!" yelled goldenheart.
She ran up to him and have him a hug, causing blacklight to blush.
"good to see you too." said blacklight.
Golden heart ended the hug. Duster approached them.
"good to see your alive." said duster.
"how did you find me?" asked black light.
"we followed the thing that took you." replied golden heart.
"the collector." added Eon
Duster looked at eon.
"and whose your new friend?" asked duster.
"this is eon." said blacklight.
"we need to destroy that tank." said eon.
Won pointed to a large metal tank that was filled with a mysterious liquid, in the middle of the room.
"that the chemicals?" asked blacklight.
Eon nodded.
"duster." said blacklight.
"I'm on it." said duster.
Duster began placing explosives on the tank.
"we will want to leave ASAP." said duster.
Duster set a Time bomb onto the tank.
" we got three minutes." said duster.
The four ran as fast as they could out of the room.
They reached a large steel door with an exit sign above it.
"there it is!" said eon
"times running out!" said duster.
Eon broke the door down with her hooves.
"go!" yelled eon.
They ran out the door, into the wasteland in the distance blacklight could see the SSCS6000
"it's about to blow!" yelled duster.
They ran away from the facility as a large explosion destroyed half of it.
"we made it." said goldenheart.
She turned to face eon.
"thank you." said goldenheart.
"we could use somepony like you." said duster.
" I would like to join you, but I must venture out on my own for now." said eon. "I wish to find out who I was before I became...... This."
Eon looked at her hooves
"I understand." said blacklight. "maybe I will see you in the wastes."
"before I go." said eon. "let me leave you with this parting gift."
Eon closed her eyes and touched her horn to blacklight's. Blacklight felt a magical surge entering his body, knowledge entering his mind.
Eon took a step back and opened her eyes.
"what happened?" asked blacklight.
"I gave you the knowledge of how to preform the spell I used to see through the floor." said eon. "may it help you in your travels."
Eon spread her wings.
"and thank you my friend, for freeing me."
Eon took off into the sky.
"we have to get moving." said blacklight. "we are running out of time."
Blacklight looked at his pip buck map.
"it's going to take us five hours to get there." said blacklight.
The three walked towards the SSCS6000.
They Had been driving for five hours. The camp was in their sights.
"okay so you said you had a plan." said duster. "what was it?"
"we need a distraction right?" said blacklight. "well I'm sure they won't notice us leave if they were distracted by a slave riot."
"wait." said goldenheart. "your not thinking....."
Blacklight smiled.
"yep, were letting all those slaves free."
