Close EncountersView OnlineW.A.RClose Encounters"Shit! I'm declaring a TIC!" Harez yelled into the radio. The small equestrian houses giving them cover from the ongoing fire from the opposing Russian military. His squad was pinned down at a house. A T-90 tank was rolling up down the street. It aimed towards their direction, about to fire. BOOM! The tank exploded as loud streaks of sounds came from the sky. The jets had finally made their way to the battle. Helicopters spread about the whole battlefield. "Move move move!" Harez yelled at his teammates, running out into the open, then taking cover in the sandbags. Continuous gunfire came from several houses. A Few sandbags were up ahead, providing more cover, and also giving an advantage in the battle. They used something called the buddy system. Harez was the first to move. His teammates gave suppressing fire towards the enemies down the large road, as Harez got to cover. They continued this over and over with several other soldiers, allowing them to get closer. "WE GOT A HMASS UP AHEAD!" They referring to the 'Super Soldier' that Russia recently made. Their armor was thick, and almost impenetrable. You would need some kind of explosive in order to kill one of them. Missiles were being flooded in the sky from the helicopters. One of the helicopters was shot down. The helicopter headed towards their direction. "OH SHIT!" Harez yelled, getting out of the way. "MOVE IT!" He yelled at his teammates. It was already to late for his teammates though, as they were crushed by the helicopter. The spinning blade flying towards Harez, almost decapitating him. He'd run to cover. "Oh shit, oh shit, OH SHIT.." He'd yell to himself. They were the last squad sent out into the battle. The rest of the military was back at base. He was there, alone, in a massive war. He grabbed his radio, yelling into it. "I NEED IMMEDIATE EVAC NOW AT MY POSITION!" Minutes later, a helicopter flew in. He got in it, getting in the gunner side. He'd provide cover fire for the pilot in order to get out of the area, and back to base. They set up base at the castle, as the rest of the civilians were also held at. It'd all gone to hell in a matter of minutes, and seconds. It was dumb for him to only send out four squads of ten men, out into a massive battle of five hundred or so soviet's. It was a dumb idea. He made them dead from the beginning. He'd be the only one that made it out alive. And he would live to feel that great wave of shame. But it was no time to think of that now, as they were being shot at. "WE GOT A MISSILE LOCKED!" The pilot yelled. A Missile from far away could be seen shot into the air, and headed towards them. Harez turned the gun slowly, and aimed at the missile. He'd pull the trigger, spraying all over in the sky. It'd miss all but one shot, hitting the missile and letting it explode. It was close though, close enough to damage the helicopter a bit, and shake them up. They'd finally get out of reach from the gunfire, and headed back to base. [Quins P.O.V] "YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST DO THESE UNJUSTLY ACTS OF DISCRIMINATION AGAINST MY PEOPLE AND AGAINST THEIR HOMES!?" The yelling inside the royal throne room had been going on for about an hour or two. Quin didn't really know what to do, but just stand there. Quin was apart of Harez's official squad. The one that'd he be with once the final war began, and ended. "How long do you think they'll be in there for?.." James asked Quin. Quin shrugged. He'd hear a few slams now and then, but he couldn't really justify how long they'd be in there for. They might even be there for the whole day. James handed him a cigar with a lighter. Quin took it, and lit it. He put it in his mouth, puffing the smoke. "I haven't seen him get this angry in a long time. A Very long time. I think, since the battle with F.H.L.." He really didn't know what to do, but just wait. Finally, Harez came out of the large door, slamming it behind him. "Cmon, let's head to our 'rooms'.." He said. Apparently according to Harez, they were sleeping in the same exact room as Celestia's favorite subjects, and most royal subjects she's met. Most ponies referred to them as the Mane 6.. They walked down the long corridor, getting several stares from the many stallions and mares along the way. They were considered outlaws, and people not to be trusted. They were one of the many hated species of the Equestrian world. They were said to have no honor, to have no care, and to have nothing in their hearts. How did they know what kind of person they were? They were soldiers that served their time in the wars, and did their best to serve their countries. They, however, did not know that. They opened the door to their room. Quins metal buckle, and as well as is his dog tags banging against his leg and chest. When he and the rest entered the room, they took a glance at the room, not even realizing the Ponies inside. [Harez's P.O.V] He looked up from the bed after he lay down, then noticing the Ponies. "So, you're the people we're sharing a room with?.." He asked the purple one, said to be the leader of the Mane 6. "I guess so!" The purple unicorn tried to say in a happy manner, with a crooked, and noticeably fake smile. Him and the rest of the soldiers got up, and stood in a line. Looking up into the sky, and they read the words out loud. "And when he gets to heaven, to saint peter he will tell, 'Just one more marine reporting sir, I've served my time in hell.'.. Let us protect those who we love, and to those who we trust. Let us protect this nation under the will of god, and to protect those who are not able to protect themselves. Let us bring forwards the true meaning of what respect, and integrity is. Let us bring forwards what the true, definition, of a Marine is." They'd look down at the ground for a few seconds, and then went into their bed. The ponies looked at them. "That was truly wonderful." The orange one said. Harez ignored them, and tried his best to get to sleep as quick as he could, as he would not be heading back out to war again, but back into the Throne room.
One More DayView OnlineW.A.ROne More DayHarez woke up to something shuffling. He slowly opened his eyes. It was one of the ponies, the purple one to be exact. She was reading a book, while shuffling across the floor. He slowly got up from the bed. He wore his uniform on while he slept. The bed was a bit dusty because of it, but he would live. The rest were still asleep. He let them be, as they weren't the ones that had to go argue with Celestia. The purple pony noticed him as he walked over to the dresser, taking his M16-A3. He slung it around his shoulder onto his back. He headed straight for the door. "Uhm, were are you going?.." The purple one asked him right before he opened the door. He looked over towards her. "To go argue with your princess." He'd say back, then opening the door, walking out, and closing it. He started down the long corridor ahead of him. They were pretty far from the Throne room. And he left really early. She said somewhere at about 8:00. It was 6:12. He decided to take a walk. He looked out into the open sky from the pillars, and saw a flight of stairs going down. He took it. There was some kind of, salad, restaurant? He honestly didn't know. The view was almost amazing, and it reminded him of earth. He wondered if he would ever get to be able to go back home. He wasn't so sure if he could, but he just stayed at that one spot. Instead of taking a walk, he just stood there. It had been an hour and a half. He got up, and started towards the throne room. It was nice to take a little break once in a while. He walked through the many corridors, finally leading up to the Throne room. It was 7:59. He waited. And he waited.. And, he waited.. 8:00. He opened the doors, entering the gigantic room again, seeing Celestia and Luna on their royal thrones. He saw the wooden chair placed in front of the thrones. He sat in it, and began the argument again. "So, your going to disgrace us for something that we didn't have a choice to do? We are technically protecting ourselves, and your people as well. Without our help, your little ponies, would be gone." He'd say in an angry tone. Celestia was about to speak, but Luna spoke up first. She backed down, letting her younger sister handle it, and seeing how she would handle the situation. "If you hadn't had come here, this wouldn't have happened!" "WELL IS IT LIKE I HAD A CHOICE? HELL NO! I GOT NO SAY IN IT!" "YOU'RE OUTLANDERS, NOT FROM THIS WORLD! AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY US?" "REPAY YOU? REPAY YOU FOR WHAT? YOU DIDN'T GIVE US ANYTHING, UNTIL YOU FINALLY OFFERED THIS TO BE OUR COMMANDING CENTER. NOW EITHER YOU LET US GO TO OUR WORK, AND FIGHT THE WAR. OR YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE CAN JUST DIE IN A HOLE, AND WE'LL JUST LEAVE. WE DON'T HAVE TO BE HERE TO PROTECT HERE. BUT WE HAVE HONOR!" "HONOR? WHAT HONOR IS IT TO DESTROY THE HOMES OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO CANNOT DEFEND THEMSELVES?" "THIS IS HOW I SEE IT. THEY GAVE UP THEIR HOUSES. WE DEFENDED THEM. FAIR TRADE? A HOUSE FOR A LIFE. I WOULD THINK SO!" "WE HAVE TO PUT UP MORE THINGS THAN YOU EVER DO! WE DO NOT NEED SUCH BATTLES BEING HELD, AND THIS NONSENSE." He stopped when she said that.. He looked down at his feet for a few minutes, then slowly looked back up. "You have to deal with more things than we ever do? YOUR WORLD IS PEACEFUL. WE HAVE WAR. TOWNS BEING DESTROYED, NO, CITIES. EMPIRES BEING BROUGHT DOWN. NUKES, BOMBS, MILLIONS, BILLIONS OF PEOPLE DIE-ING. WORLD HUNGER. HOMELESS PEOPLE. WAR. YOU ARE THE SENTIENT SPECIES HERE IN THIS PLANET! YOU DO NOT FIGHT! YOU HAVE FRIENDSHIP, AND PASSION." He'd slowly regain his breath. "Our world, does not. We've had three, three giant wars that happened. World War One, World War Two, and The Civil War. Those, were the massive wars.. Millions of people dead. YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT!" He yelled at them. The guards started to step a few steps forward. "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE!" This time, he slung his gun to his arms. The guards moved quickly in position behind him, spears ready. He looked at the gun, and threw it on the ground. The guards were still in their positions. "NOW, YOU TELL ME, IF YOU'VE EXPERIENCED ANYTHING THAT WE HAVE. YOU HAVEN'T!" He'd yell one last time. That one thing she said, made him angry... He wanted to grab her face, pull the pin on a grenade, and stick it down her throat. Walk away, and let her die. But he had honor, but he didn't know if they knew what honor was.. He'd grab his gun, sling it around his back, and barge through the guards. The argument, was ended way earlier than expected. It was only 8:23. He kicked the door open, walking out. He bumped into the Purple pony, and her whole, 'group'.. "W-We couldn't help but hear what was going on. We heard it all the way from our rooms." He'd slowly look at them, still a twitch in his eye. Then he finally said something after waiting a few minutes of pure silence. "Look, its not your peoples fault." He said, then walked a few steps. Stopped, and turned his head. "Its your governments." He then finally walked off. He opened the door to the room that they stayed in, the rest of the soldiers sitting up on their beds. They had heard most of it. "We could hear it through the walls. All you need to do is calm down man. You know what happens when you get this angry." James said to him, carefully trying not to tick him off. "After she said that, all I could think about was F.H.L.. I-I don't know why. F.H.L was nothing related to what she said, but I just thought of it.. It got me, angry, and yelling." He said as he sat down onto his bed, setting the gun down. He put his hands on his face. "I just need to relax. That's all." The ponies walked in one by one. The purple one came up to Harez. Harez looked up. "I-I Know this isn't a good time to bring it up. But I don't think we have actually introduced ourselves. I'm Twilight, that's Pinkie Pie, AppleJack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy." She said, pointing to each one of them. Harez stood up. "Well, nice to meet you all.." He said, now relaxed from the argument, getting his mind off of it. "I'm Harez, the leader of the whole battalion. This is James, Quin, and George." He'd point to each one as well. James was black, Quin was Caucasian, and George was Mexican. He stuck out his hand for a handshake, then put it down after realizing that she had no hands.. He sat down at the bed once again, and decided to lay down for a little bit, and chat with everyone.
Incoming ContactView OnlineW.A.RIncoming Contact"So.. I'm guessing that you have a few questions for me.. After, what you had heard." He'd turn to all of them. "I'm sure we all do." Twilight said back to him, turning to the rest of the group. He'd point his finger at Rainbow Dash. "I'll start with you.." Rainbow put her hoof to her chin, thinking of a question.. She put her hoof down after a few seconds of thinking. "What are the wars like?" "As in here? Or back, at my planet?" "Both." "Well, it's not fun at all. It gets you thinking that you're going to die. Explosions, gunfire, everywhere.. The only thing that you can keep in your mind is to stay alive. Seeing your friends, or possibly family die next to you. It's, not fun at all. Only the ones with the strongest minds can handle it." He'd turn to Quin. "Show them." Quin opened his bag that he had taken with him. Inside the backpack, were hundreds and hundreds of dogtags. "All of those, belonged to my teammates, and everyone who has lost their life in the wars." Quin closed up the backpack. He pointed his finger at Apple Jack. "Euhh.. How does that thing work..?" She asked him, referring to the M16-A3. He lifted it up. "Its called a gun. It shoots sharp pointed metallic objects called bullets. It shoots it at fast speeds, so fast, it could go through you. It was made to kill, really." He'd take out the magazine, looking at the bullets inside, then loading it back in. He set the gun down. He pointed his finger at Rarity. "What kind of clothes are those?" "These were men't for camouflage. It basically made us blend in with our environment, but it's no need now. Under it is also a kevlar vest. It allows the bullets to not penetrate through your body." He'd point his finger at Pinkie Pie. These questions were relatively easy to answer. "Have you ever experienced fun? Because I have! But always seems your down all the time and it makes me really really Saaadd!" She made several face gestures while saying this. "I have experienced fun. We have fun even now, but when times need to be serious, we are serious. Games, and any other things can wait. They'll be there forever.. We can always wait." He pointed his finger towards Flutter Shy. "I-I don't know any questions." "That's alright." He moved his finger towards Twilight. He saved the best question for last. "When you were arguing with Celestia, and then you came in here, you said something about, F.H.L, was it?" He'd look at her, with a menacing stare. "You all might want to take a seat, while I explain." He said, motioning his hand to tell them to sit down on the beds. "F.H.L. It stands for Future Hollow Laboratories. They, kidnap people, and make them into Super-Human beings. They trap them in cells with no respect for them, and as if they were nothing. They use these Overdosed super-human subjects in order to fight. They're higher than our government in our world. They're basically overlords. They do not have respect, they do not have a heart. Their devotion is to destroy all of the human race, then kill themselves. I, was one of those many people.." As he said this, he looked down at the ground, remembering the harmful and painful memories from those moments. "I Us--" BOOM! The wall exploded. Tons of debris flew around them. Harez went for his gun, as the rest of the soldiers took cover behind the beds. "FUCK! YOU SIX! GET BACK HERE! ALL THE WAY BACK INTO THE CORNER!" He yelled at them. They quickly ran to the back of the room. A Ka-52 was hovering out in the air. With the wall being gone, it gave the Helicopter, and Harez's team and himself a clear view of each other. "GET DOWN!" The helicopter sprayed hundreds of bullets into the room. One bullet hit James in the shoulder. "MAN DOWN MAN DOWN!" The helicopter stopped firing. Harez got out of his cover, aiming his gun at the cockpit of the Helicopter, firing a couple times. He hit the pilot twice in the gut, and one in the neck. The helicopter went down, spinning backwards and then out of sight. "Shit! They're attacking the base! I'm declaring FPCON DELTA! INFORM EVERYONE!" He'd yell into his radio. He went straight to James afterwards. "Quin, you're a medic right? You get James up, and medicate him, I have to go inform the others. I'll be back, DON'T DIE!" He yelled, and ran out the door. Tons of ponies and military soldiers were spreading around the whole entire area. He barged through them all, barging through the Royal Throne room. "Celestia! Luna! Get all of your people into one secure room, and make sure no one leaves or exits! This is an immediate emergency!" He said, then running back out into the corridors. He saw a Tupolev Tu-95 Aircraft in the distance. His realization finally kicked in. He yelled into the radio again. "DEFCON ONE! DEFCON ONE! WE NEED TO TAKE THAT FUCKING JET DOWN! NOW!" Immediate helicopters responded quickly and fought off some remaining forces of the opposing teams airforce. He barged through another group of ponies, finally making way into the staircase up onto the roof. He saw a helicopter ready to deploy into the air. He jumped on. "GO FOR THE JET! GO FOR THE JET!" He yelled to the pilot. The helicopter took into the air, flying towards the Jet. The jet was going at increasingly fast speeds. He aimed the gun towards the jet, and started spraying the 400 bullets packed into the gun. The jet was hit, and it started to turn left and right. He reloaded the gun, and shot it again. It was very close now. About only 20 seconds before making full force nose-to-nose contact. He kept the gun on it, spraying it. "BAIL BAIL!" He yelled to the pilot, telling him to bail. The pilot pulled the safety parachute, and he flew into the air. Harez took a few more final shots before jumping out of the helicopter. The jet hit the helicopter full force, disabling the nuke inside it. Surprise Surprise, there was a small lake under Harez, and he landed straight forwards into it. He hit his head on one of the rocks while falling though, knocking him out. "Everyone calm down! We have this under control! Everyone stay inside, no one leaves, no one enters." Celestia was trying to calm the ponies in the room. Hundreds of voices could be heard frightened and scared of what was going on outside. They didn't know what to do. A Full force attack on the castle would be permanent. Helicopters were heard outside, and as well as Screaming Meemies. The Russians had ton of technology and hardware taken from other countries, and they were using it for their own use, and defense. "FUCK! THEY'RE SENDING TROOPS UP THE FUCKING STAIRCASE!" Yelled one of the soldiers that entered inside the room, alerting the other soldiers in that room as well. They ran out of the door, taking cover on the pillars. Gunfire everywhere, and it was hard to see for the soldiers. Dust was surrounding the whole area. "LOOK, WE GOT SOME RPG-7'S STORED IN THE TOP STAIRCASE, WE NEED TO GET TO IT. WE ALSO GOT AN AMMO CACHE. COVER US!" Another soldier yelled, making a run for it with four others soldiers, running up the staircase to the roof. One soldier grabbed the RPG as the rest reloaded their ammo. They went back down, and covered the other soldiers to go up their and fill their ammo. "WE GOT ANOTHER FUCKING T-90!" He aimed the RPG at it, firing. The T-90 Was disabled for a few seconds, allowing some soldiers to throw a few grenades at it. It exploded after a few more seconds. "MAKE SURE WE DON'T HAVE ANOTHER FUCKING JET HEADED HERE! THAT WOULD SCREW EVERYTHING!" Soldiers were scattered everywhere. It was WAR.
