Til the End...

Chapter 2: Awakening

I awoke to the sun shining, birds chirping, and a breeze blowing through the trees. There was just one thing off; it was peaceful, too peaceful. Things were never this peaceful back on… I wasn’t on Earth!

With that thought I shot straight up in bed and looked around only to find the ponies from yesterday all surrounding me. There were seven of them (like yesterday) but now that it was light out I could make out their full features. One was a lavender color with a darker purple mane (and tail), with a lavender and pink strip in each and a horn. The next one was a cyan color with a rainbow colored mane, she had wings, and next to her was an orange one with a blonde mane. Then there was a pale white one with a curly, purple mane, she also had a horn. Second to last was a pink one with a pink mane that looked like she was higher than a kite and was suffering from a sugar-rush too. And the last one was by far the most beautiful(and the cutest) of them all, she was a butter yellow color with a pale pink mane and tail, wings noted. The other one I had had the unfortunate “run in” with but she was the tallest, with a horn and wings, with a tri-colored mane that blew in a non-existent wind.

“Hello there my name is Princess Celestia, and you shall address me as such. This here is Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy. And you are?” said Celestia.

“My-my name is Tucker, Gunnery Sergeant  Tucker Loomis of the United States Marine Corps.”

“What are you?” asked Twilight(I think that’s what her name was).

“I’m a human, and what are you guys, ponies?”

“Why, yes we are darling,” said Rarity.

“Well fuck me a runnin, it’s official I’ve gone bat-shit crazy!”

“I am truly sorry about what happened yesterday Tucker, about me shooting at you and the loss of your friends,” said Celestia.

“It’s ok, but I would like to know what the hell is going on here. So I fill me in.” They were all silent except for Celestia who spoke up.

“It all started about a month ago, an old, very strange man dressed in some sort of long white coat, black gloves, and strange eye glass spectacles; was thrown in to our world. When we tried to welcome him, he pulled out some strange metal tube and killed two of my guards. Then he started rambling on how he was going to bring about our demise with a plagued “apocalypse”. In which he create a bomb, which he would have filled with something he called "Element 115". Well we just thought he was crazy but a few days later there was a great plague that started to sweep cross Equestria  ponies, gryphons, and dragons alike, but they didn’t stay dead.”

“Hm. This sounds an awful lot like Black Ops.”

“What?” asked Celestia.

“Oh. Well back on Earth there is this one game called Call of Duty: Black Ops, and in one of the side games in it you’re a survivor of a zombie plague created by an evil scientist.”

“Well I would like to ask for your assistance then.”

“And why is that?”

“Because you seem to know what is going on and I feel I can trust you.”

I was somewhat speechless because, one, I was a completely different species than them and I have not known them for even a few hours (probably more than that but I was unconscious for most of them), and two, I was not even sure I could trust them yet. I mean Celestia did try to kill me, TWICE, but there is something about them. I don’t know what it is, but they just seem too innocent.

“Hey you there!"

“Ahhhhhhhh!”

“Rainbow Dash why’d ya’ll do that. Ya damn near gave the poor guy a heartattack.” Applejack said, swatting Rainbow on the back of the head.

“It’s ok. Sooooo, I’ve made an executive decision.”

“And what is that,” asked Celestia crossing her arms and waiting for the rest of the answer.

“I will help you. But I only ask three things in return.”

“And what are those?”

“One, I would like a proper burial for my friends. Two, I would like to be treated like you would treat anyone else. And three, don’t EVER try to kill me again. Deal?”

“Deal,” Celestia said as her and I shook hands.

“So before I start can we have some proper introductions that don’t involve trying to incinerate me will fireballs?”

“Yes, I am Twilight Sparkle, as you already know, and I was the personal student to Princess Celestia, before I became a princess and I run…ran the local library here in Ponyville.”

“I’m Applejack, mah family and I used ta own Sweet Apple Acres where we had one of the biggest apple orchards in Equestria, that was ‘til them there walkin’ corpses startin’ tearin’ everypony apart.”

“Sup, my name is Rainbow Dash and I was the weather captain in Ponyville. We controlled the weather around Ponyville. I’m also the fastest, most talented flyer in all of Equestria…just putting that out there.”

“Ego boost Rainbow, watch the ego boost. Anyway I am Rarity and I owned the Carousel Boutique here in Ponyville. And if I may ask what is that you are wearing?”

“Easy there Rarity, wait for questions till the end.”

“Hitherei’mPinkiePieandIwaswonderingonething?” Pinkie Pie said as she talked like she was one an everlasting sugar rush.

“And what’s that?”

“What’s this?” As she said that she pointed an AK-47 at me, finger on the trigger.

“What the-SHIT!”

And I hit the dirt. I looked in my hand and in the place of my rifle was a chocolate cupcake with pink frosting on it and one of those cheap prank candles.

“Two things PLEASE?”

“What’s that silly willy?”

“One, can I PLEASE have my gun back. Two, how in the ever living hell did she DO THAT!?!?”

“Don’t ask it’s just Pinkie being Pinkie. Don’t think about it, it will only hurt more.”

So that only left the yellow pegasus and she was hiding behind everyone else. She was hiding from m, like I was a deadly predator…ok so some of that may be true but I’m not going to hurt them. If I wanted to them I would have a long time ago.

As I walked up to the pegasus she sunk to the floor as if by some invisible force. I knelt down next to her and introduced myself.

“My name is Tucker. What’s your’s?”

“It’s Fluttershy.”

“What was that, I couldn’t quite here you? Come on try again please.” Saying that I gave her the most honest, sincere smile I ever gave anyone before.

“My-my name is Fluttershy.” I could sense a little bit more courage from her.

“There you go,” I said holding out my hand to help her up.

I helped her up and when I turned around I saw all of the girls (even the princess) with the most hilarious faces ever. Their eyes were as big as dinner plates and mouths agape.

I got out my phone and snap a picture with it. Then I start laughing my ass off, still not knowing what they were like that for.

“So do any of you have questions for me?”

Seven hands shot up instantly.

“Well fuck me.”
