Chapter 18: Remember Reach

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Everywhere I look there was glass. Charred dead and blood. I keep walking trying desperately trying to find even the tiniest piece of Earth intact. The covenant had gone too far. I couldn't let this happen to Earth as well... "It's time to die, human." An elite says as he thrusts his energy sword through my armor and into my heart killing me instantly.


I scream as I wake up. Tears running down my face from my nightmare. The girls awake from the sleepover immediately and rush over to me concerned.

Velvet starts rubbing my back as I lay my head and choke on my tears. "What did you dream about?"

"Remember Reach..." The girls gasp upon hearing this. They had seen all the videos and gameplay including death reports and the fact that the planet was glassed. "-And then I died from being stabbed in the heart." I finish.

"That's a fucked up dream, it seems so real..." Rainbow Dash says.

"That's because it is. I've been on Reach. That's the only reason I can remember it... I almost died there. I tried to stop the covenant from glassing Reach but it's a fixed event." I say sadly.

"Are you saying that everything pretty much has a universe or dimension thingy?" Applejack me incredulously.

"It would appear so. Also, what time is it?" I question.

Fluttershy looks over to the alarm clock. "5:36 AM." She says.

"Shit." I say as I turn on my phone and put on a song that will distract us or more likely just me from the depressing moments on Reach.

"Are you seriously putting on rap this early?" Rarity whines. "Besides, all rap is is sexual inneundos and hatred."

"Oh no you didn't." I retort, walking towards the kitchen to heat up my footlong meatball pepperoni flatbread sub from subway. Thank god they have those here.

Pinkie Pie comes into the kitchen rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. "Can you do something for me today Pinkie?"

"Oki dokie lokie!" Pinkie says with a cheerful smile.

"Can you make sure that nobody tries to cause trouble. I need your eyes in the sky."

"Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my- oww." She says, doing the motions of a Pinkie Promise. After I've taken a seat at the table and started eating my subway sandwich with gusto the rest of the girls (Fluttershy, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle, Velvet Majesty, Sunset Shimmer and Applejack.) enter the living room and look at me like I've gone insane.

"I will never understand how you and Pinkie can always have so much energy." Rarity states.

"Ah know right? You two are practically unstoppable when it comes to that." Applejack agrees. I sigh and shrug letting an eerie smile come to my face for a split second.

"Yeah, even people as awesome as me need their beauty sleep." Rainbow Dash complains subtly.

I pull out my tablet and click on Google Chrome before searching up "Are miniguns and flamethrowers legal?" I find the answer to that question is yes and get the biggest shit-eating grin ever.

"Okay, what did you find out?" Velvet asks worriedly.

"Oh nothing." I lie.

"Yer lying." No shit Applejack.

"If you need me I'm going to be on the phone." I say smirking ever so evily. I pull out my Samsung Galaxy S5 and tap the contacts logo and then start looking for Ammunation. "Ah yes." I say as I click it and put the phone to speaker. Applejack looks at me suspiciously and waits for me to make a move. I cast a spell that makes it so they can't talk until the call is over.

"This is Ammunation, what do you need?" A gruff voice calls out of the speakers.

"How much is the M-134 Minigun and 10,000 rounds of ammunition?" I see Twilight and Applejack desperately trying to open their lips. Most likely to protest.

"That will be $43,000 sir."

"Ok, sending payment details and address now." I say before inputing the information in the alotted boxes.

"Very good. Shipment will take about 5 minutes. Have a nice day and be sure to come to Ammunation to use your gun points!" The man hangs up and the spells wears off.

"You know better! How dare you use a spell like that on us!" Twilight scolds.

"And nice prank call. Nobody has $43,000 to just throw around."

"You're right. I don't. I have two hundred times that!"

"You realize miniguns are illegal right?" Rarity says with a disapproving glance.

"Nope. They are legal and categorized as a AOW firearm which means 'Any other weapon' so that means I can get one relatively easily."

"Where did you even get that much money?!" Pinkie asks with puppy dog eyes.

"Heist. Oops you weren't supposed to know that. Lester help me!"

Pinkie looks at me before bursting into laughter, Fluttershy walks out of the room meekly, Rarity just sighs in exasperation, and Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Sunset Shimmer give me glares while Velvet just waits patiently for me to come to reality.

"You are a member of royalty and yet you act like a criminal. You are even a high ranking military officer and yet... That isn't enough for you."

"Who said I wanted to be royalty? That just makes life way too easy. I also only make you mad because I'm a pessimist and think it's unfair that I'm treated so well. Well if you need me I'm going to be causing a riot." I say without missing a beat.

"No. Yer not." Applejack says as she places her hand on my shoulder. "You can still change."

"Yeah, whatever." I say apathetically.

"No. Not whatever." Twilight persistently says. "You need to realize that you are still attached to your old ways and that we care for you and want to help you. Friendship is magic!" She adds.

"More like friendship is tragic." I mumble, snickering.

"Friendship is not tragic and I am going to help you realize that. After all, Twilight did show me friendship." I can't hold it in any longer. I fall to the ground a pile of snickering and giggling uncontrollably until I cough.

"*cough cough cough* What day is it?" I ask dryly.

"Saturday."

"I'm going to lay down."

"Wait for me love." Velvet croons lovingly as she follows me back to the sleepover room. I get on my bed and wait for her before pulling the covers over us. (How did I get a bed? Magic. No seriously, magic.)

Twilight and Sunset Shimmer come in looking a little more exhausted but still pretty tired. Twilight gets under her sleeping bag and whispers something to Sunset Shimmer that I didn't hear because I wasn't paying attention. I feel Velvet embrace me and lean into her more. Suddenly though, Twilight comes into my covers and hugs me too.

"What? I thought you wouldn't mind. After all, being family just brings the herd closer. Not further like you insinuated. You realize me and Dream still love you like Velvet currently does."

"It's true. I wasn't actually just meant to only be with you." Velvet says smirking.

I faint from sensory overload and exhaustion.
