Ryder woke up in a bedroom. He also had bandages on his heart.

"Wh.. where am I? Sweet Celestia, I'm alive. But that hurt like hell!", said Ryder looking around, "Oh hell no! Screw this! I don't know what's going on, but I am getting out of here!"

Suddenly, an eggplant colored pegasus colt with a purple mane with a scar in the place of his cutie mark. In his mouth was a huge axe.

"Oh, crap! Not another one.", said Ryder

"You bastard!", yelled the stallion holding his axe towards Ryder "You're the jerk that insulted Castor and refused to enlist in the Battlefront."

"Hey, wait a second. Just calm down. Relax, man.", said Ryder "

"Wanna die?"

"Oh yeah, the joke, right? That's funny. Yeah, she told me you guys say that joke like all the time. I get it. It's great."

Suddenly, the stallion stabbed Ryder.

"Die a hundred times.", said the stallion

He started stabbing Ryder rapidly.

"Die!, Die!, Die!, Die!, Die!, Die!, Die!,Die!, Die!, Die!, Die!, Die!"

Then, he stopped, and Ryder started bleeding on the floor.

"We'll dance again if you dare insult Castor again.", threatened the stallion walking out the door

"Why are you trying to kill me?!", thought Ryder "Jeez, that joke's even less funny now. Wait a minute, that hurt like hell and it didn't even kill me. How' s that even possible? What the...Hey then, wait a minute!"

Ryder remembered something Castor had said.

"This is the afterlife, you'll get obliterated if you don't fight", said Castor in the flashback

"That's it! Then I'll just get obliterated! I'll get obliterated, then I can kiss this world goodbye.", said Ryder "How do I do that?!"

Ryder remembered another thing Castor told him.

"I'm on your side. A little trust here, okay?", said Castor in the flashback

"Isn't there someone I can actually trust around here?" asked Ryder walking out of the room "Somepony with a cart's license at least? A teacher? Wait a minute! Where the hell are all the teachers?!"

Ryder kept walking, until he reached a door that said "Principal's Office" on it.

"Oh excellent, the principal", said Ryder

He touched the doorknob. Suddenly, a giant hammer swung out and hit Ryder which made him fly out the window.

"Aaaaaagggghhhhhhh!", cried Ryder flying out the window

Inside the room, were a bunch of ponies discussing something.

"Let's see, how about this?", asked a grey pony "You're the One Who's Gonna Die Battle Front!

"Sounds like I'm about to get killed.", said Castor

"No, it would be directed at that girl"

"Well then, how about You're the One Who's Gonna Die Battle Front."

"Oh crap, it sounds like I'm about to die!"

"Anyone else? Any other ideas?"

"Is this kinda cool?", asked the blue pony from earlier "Flashback Battlefront!"

"If only this was a flashback.", said Castor

"Then, how about this?", asked a big pony "Suicide Corps Battlefront!"

"Then, that means you're resolved to die.", explained Castor

"Desperate Battlefront!", suggested a pegasus mare

"We aren't desperate!", said Castor

"Then, the Invincible Squadron!", said a scrawny pony

"Where is the “Battlefront” part?", asked Castor

"Honorable Death Battalion!", said the grey pony

"I'm gonna hit you!", yelled Castor

"Wright Brothers!", suggested the blue pony

"Was that joke? Jeez! It has to end with “Battlefront.”", yelled Castor "That's a must! We're taking the frontline in this battlefield! Don't any of you have some decent ideas?"

"Hey, it looks like that guy is up", said the scrawny pony pointing to Ryder

"Huh? He's conscious again?", asked Castor "I told him to think up something. Maybe he's got a name. You've got a plenty of time, so tell us what you came up with"

"What do you mean?", asked Ryder

"You were supposed to think up a new name for Not Yet Dead Battlefront!", explained Castor

"Screw You Battlefront.", said Ryder angerly

"Oh man, you must think you got some guts, smart-mouthin' to Castor", said the grey pony

"You leave me out of this, dickwad!"

"What?!"

"What's with you, guys? Don't drag me into this! I wanna get obliterated ASAP!"

"You do? Even though you exist here, right now?", said a tan unicorn adjusting his glasses

"Yeah, that's right."

"I already explained things", said Castor

"You're willing to get obliterated without a fight?", asked the unicorn

"Yeah!", replied Ryder

"You're willing to become a water flea?"

"Sure! Wait, a water flea?!"

"Huh! Did you think ponies are the only ones with souls?"

"How foolish.", said a dark purple unicorn mare hiding in the corner

"You might get reborn as a barnacle. Or maybe even a hermit crab. Or a sea slater. It could happen.", explained the big pony

"What?! No way!", said Ryder

"You're so shocked you haven't questioned why it's limited to sea life. There's no particular reason, actually.", said the tan unicorn adjusting his glasses

"Go on, get the heck outta here. You're gonna listen to Angel and get reborn, ain't ya? Go turn into a barnacle and get eaten by ponies! That'd make for a great life!", said the grey pony

"A barnacle?", asked Ryder

"Huh? Barnacles are edible?", asked the scrawny pony

"There are some edible ones.", said the unicorn

"I never knew that", said the blue earth pony

"How foolish.", said the unicorn mare

"Oh, c'mon guys. There's no good reason to kick the guy out of here just yet, not quite yet. It's not the policy of,... of er.. what the hell is that right now?", said Castor

"Barnacle Battle Front.", said the grey earth pony

"Oh, Yeah! Barnacle Battle..."

Castor bucked the grey earth pony and sent him flying against the wall

"That's it! It's going back to the Underworld Battle Front.", said Castor

"That was a nice kick.", said the grey pony

"We're safe as long as we're in this base. After all, that is what brought you here, right?", asked Castor

"No, I didn't know that. Besides I got sent flying when I tried to come in here. And by the way, you are joking about being reincarnated as anything but human, right?", asked Ryder

"It's no joke.", said the big pony

"I mean, how do you know that for sure? Who saw that happen?
You don't know that for sure?", asked Ryder

"Of course we don't know for sure, but Buddhism doesn't say we're only going to be reborn as humans now, does it?", replied Castor

"But seriously, a barnacle?"

"Religion is just something ponies made up on their own. Now, listen carefully 'cause this is important. In our previous world, death didn't care, it went after ponies indiscriminately and randomly. It's not like we were actually able to defy it. But this world is a whole other ball game. We can exist as long as we resist Angel. We can fight back"

"But wait...wait a minute! What happens when all is said and done? What are you trying to accomplish?"

"Our goal is to take out Angel once and for all. Once we do that, this world will belong to us."

"Huh?"

"You're new here, so it's no wonder you're a little confused. Heighten your sense of adaptability and accept things as they are."

"Accept things and then fight? Against Angel?"

"That's right. Fight with us"

"Hold on a minute..", yelled the eggplant pony running in the room before getting hit with the hammer "Aaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhhhh!"

"Moron...", said the blue earth pony

"Dumbass, he fell for his own trap.", said the grey earth pony

"That's what happened to me?", asked Ryder

"You need a password to enter safe-and-sound. After all, this is our anti-Angel strategy headquarters.", explained Castor "This is the only safe place where we can talk"

"Uh, could you give me some time to think about this?"

"'Course I can, anywhere but here."

Ryder thought about it for a moment

"Alright, fine! What's the password?"

"There is no Faust, Buddha or Angel.", explained Castor "Welcome aboard. I'm Castor, leader of this name-changing Battlefront."

She then pointed to the blue earth pony from earlier

"And this is Home Run. He's just as lazy as he looks, but sometimes he pulls through."

"Yeah. Hey, that's not a compliment!", yelled Home Run

"He is Heavy Lifting", said Castor pointing to the big pony who was a yellow earth pony with a brown mane with a black belt wrapped around a rice bowl as his cutie mark "He has a 5th degree Judo belt, so everyone calls him Heavy Lifting the Fifth out of respect."

"She's ignoring me!", yelled Home Run

"Nice to meet you.", greeted Heavy Lifting

"Humph!", said Home Run

"He's Chestnut", inroduced Castor pointing to the scrawny pony who was an orange earth pony with a brown mane with no cutie mark "His special trait is that he doesn’t have any."

"Welcome to the Battlefront, man.", greeted Chestnut

"Dance to the beat!", said a red pegasus colt with a yellow mane with a red sash over his eyes and a disco ball as his cutie mark

"I don't dance here.", said Ryder

"It's how he greets ponies.", explained Castor "Everypony calls him TK, but no one knows his real name. Even I don't know what it is he feels"

"Exactly how high is this guy?"

"The unicorn constantly straightening his glasses and trying to look smart is Speckles.", introduced Castor pointing to the tan unicorn who has a blue mane and a bow tie as his cutie mark. "He's actually stupid"

"Huh?", said Ryder

"Very nice to meet you.", greeted Speckles fixing his glasses

"This here is Black Coal", introduced Castor pointing to the grey earth pony who has a black mane and a piece of coal as his cutie mark"

"I'm Black Coal, punk!", introduced Black Coal

"I'm not a punk.", replied Ryder

"That guy who went flying was Blade", introduced Castor

She looked out the window and saw Blade passed out from his trap.

"The unicorn mare in the shadows who keeps saying “How foolish” is Ocean Breeze.", introduced Castor "And sitting here is Soft Note. She's the leader of the Diversion Unit. There are a couple dozen ponies hiding throughout the school who are members of Battlefront."

Ocean Breeze is a dark purple unicorn with a blue mane with a broom as her cutie mark. Soft Note is a purple pegasus with a magenta mane with an accoustic guitar as her cutie mark.

"Okay, that's all of us now. Who are you?", asked Castor

"Uh, er, Ry... Ryder...", introduced Ryder stammering

"Full name?"

"I can't remember."

"The whole amnesia scenario, eh? Don't worry, it will come back eventually.", explained Home Run
