Call of Duty Black Ops - Ember

"Dad, help me!" shouted David.

"DAVID WAIT I AM COMING!" I shouted back but before I could reach him he disappeared.

Another nightmare again. I woke up. It was 2am. My whole body trembled. It was full of cold sweat. Since I am here, I always have these bad nightmares. What is going on with me? Why is this happen to me? Velvet and Night Light promised me to go to Canterlot this day. It must be the capital of this place because they told me that there is the sit of their princess called Celestia. I walked to the living room. It was small but comfortable. Outside it rained. There was a mirror in front of me. I looked inside it and suddenly there stood a dark silhouette behind me with a creepy face which said "WELCOME WUUUUUHAHAHAAH!"
I took the bottle on the table but as I turned my head the silhouette behind me disappeared. "OK Alex, calm down." I said to myself. I went back to my room. I wasn't tiered anymore. To much adrenalin flew through my body. As I opened the door, I noted something on my window. A loud thunder was to hear with a big bright lightning. After that event, there stood something on my window. Written in red. I am really sure it was blood. There stood only 4 words:

THE FUTURE IS BLACK!

What the hell was going on? I thought. I went upstairs to Velvet and Night Light´s bed room. I know that wasn't really nice to interrupt foreign people ... ponies while they were sleeping but I have to show them that. I opened the door. I suddenly heard the numbers again. But this time they was different.

"7 4 8 6 14 30 46 19 6 20 25"

On the bed I saw Castro and one of his whores. No Castro is dead. I killed him in Panama with Woods. I get closer to them and shook Night Lights body.

"Night Light, wake up."

"Alex? What's going on?"

"I have to show you something, quick!" I said. Night Light stood up and followed me with tiered eyes. Velvet was still sleeping.

"What's the matter to wake me up this early!"

"I woke up, because I had nightmares again and after I went to your living room I saw a silhouette behind me which disappeared after I turned. I know this sounds stupid but as I returned to my room ... wait you will see it." I opened the door and as I wanted to show him my window, it was clean again. Like there wasn't something before. First I thought about ok it rained so maybe the rain removed it but it was inside of the window.

"Ok so what did you want to show me again?" asked Night Light.

"It´s ... it´s impossible! I mean ... on my window ... ok I know this sounds crazy but there stood 4 words written in blood "THE FUTURE IS BLACK!" Hey I know this sounds crazy but you know I am a soldier I don't believe shit like this but I promise you I saw it!"

"He is ... unusual ... atypical..."

"Mason, hey lay down and go sleeping again, we will go to the princess tomorrow, I am really sure, she can help you!" As Night Light told me that I remember as I lay on a chair. Steiner, Dragovich, Kravchenku were next to me.

"You again ... I had to kill you in Vorkuta!"

"NO YOU CAN´T KILL ME!" I shouted.

"When he regains consciousness - double the voltage!"

"Mason, HEY I WONT HURT YOU OK! IT´S ME NIGHT LIGHT!" The lights disappeared and I was normal again.

"You need help Alex. I hope Princess Celestia can help you."

"Night Light, we are all soldiers, without an army." I said looking deep in his eyes.

"Yes, maybe, so good night Alex." and Night Light closed the door. He went back to his bedroom. Velvet was already awake too.

"What happened? I hear him screaming." said Velvet with tired eyes.

"I don't know, but that was more than a brainwashing..."

"You believe him? You sure he isn't crazy or something like that?"

"No, he isn't. He is a soldier. I know it ... and I know how you feel Alex.

At the morning:

I woke up in the morning. Everything seems normal. The rain was over. The sun was shining. I stood up, went to their bathroom, took a shower, the shower was a bit to small for me but I have a visit with the highest audience today. Velvet washed my military uniform. It was unusual to wear "clean uniforms" but it was the only thing what I had to wear. After that I went downstairs to the living room and there already sat Velvet and Night Light.

"Good Morning Mr Mason." said Velvet.

"Good Morning Sir." said Night Light.

"Forget the Sir please. I sat down to them.

"And before you ask, yes I slept well the rest of the night."

"Good, after finishing our breakfast we will go to Canterlot. It isn't to far from here maybe 2 hours."

"Yea, that's ok. Does she know that I am here?"

"Yes, she know it."

It don't need long and it knocked on the door. Night Light went to the door and there stood two white ponies with swords and a mid age amour and wings. They talked to each other until ...

"Alex? Our taxi is here, come on."

"Wow so fast?" I thought and I followed him. I greet the two white pegasuses and I went into this carriage.

"And how shall we get there?"

"We are flying."

"Oh? ... OK?" I never flew with ... pegasuses." They blast off and it didn't need long and we were a few foots above the ground.

1 hour later:

"Ok Alex, we arrived Canterlot. Ok nopony here knows something about your presence here so ... try to control yourself ok!"

"I will try my best Night Light. Hey ... the name sounds cool similar to Black Night, a very good soldier. I fought with him together before ..."

And here I am. In Canterlot. I couldn't believe that I was in a foreign world. It was ... like a dream. Maybe it was but it felt to real. We moved forward to a gate. Two guardians stood there. As we came closer they opened the door.

"Captain Night Light!" said one of the guard. Aha, interesting, he was a captain. Hm ... he didn't tell me that. We landed in a very very big floor. The windows were painted with a lot of drawings. Maybe about their past. Suddenly I got these lightning's again. It shows me the Pentagon, where I walked through it with Hudson.

"Famous ponies of all time." said Night Light. It was so similar to the Pentagon. The whole scene.

"19 21 6 14 7 19 6 20 25 46 .." I heard the numbers ... again. The pictures on the windows started to move. These bright and colourful pictures transformed into a battlefield. I saw some modern soldiers fighting against ... other people. It was definitely in the future. Maybe 2016 or something like that. I get closer to it to see what it was.

"Mason? Is everything all right?" asked Night Light.

"This war? When was that, when will this happen?" I asked.

"Which war?"

"On the windows."

"Come Alex." he said.

"Captain Night Light, I have an audience with the princess." We hadn't wait long and the two guard opened the door. We entered a very tall and big room and in front of us there sat something on his chair. It was a very tall, white pony with a colourful mane.

"Princess Celestia, this is the human from Earth. Commander Alex Mason, SOG, CIA Agent and Black Ops soldier from the Unite States of America." he said. The princess came closer to me.

"Princess. Its a pleasure to meet you." I said still surprised what stood in front of me.

"Hello, Alex. How are you?"

"Not really good."

"Night Light already informed me about your problem. You have nightmares?" she asked and moved to a table.

"KILL HER!" said a voice. I took my pistol and shot Celestia right in her head from behind.

"What are you doing Alex?" asked Night Light with a weird look. I stood there with my outstretched arm.

"I ... I .. I honestly don't know."

"So Night Light told me you see numbers and other weird things?"

"Yes, you have to know I am a soldier, I fought a lot of wars. In 1968 the Russian and the CIA did a lot of brainwashing experiments with me. As I killed Dragovich, Steiner and Graf Chenko ... I haven't seen the numbers again. Everything was good so I decided to move on with my job. And since last week I see them again. This time they are different. The numbers showed me coordinates but this time I have no idea what they could mean. I always see these pictures of my son ... he is laying on the ground, a terrorist called Raul Menendez is with him. I lost him and I am trying to find a way back to earth." I told her my whole story, everything what happened in the past.

"Hm interesting. I never heard something like that." said Celestia.

"It´s weird, I know but, just now I wanted to kill you because a voice told me that and I haven't got the control about my body anymore." I don't know if it was a good idea to tell her that but I have to because she was maybe the only one who could help me.

"Mason ..." she started and I saw Kennedy sitting in front of me.

"Mr Mason, I know you are the right one for this mission!"

"God dammit!"

"It seems that, it isn't a brainwashing anymore Alex."

"What then?"

"I am sure somepony is in your head and try to get the control about you."

"And who?" I asked.

"I don't know. You told me that you have seen a city?"

"Yes, I guess it was Los Angeles. The city looked a bit different but ... I saw drones but today we haven't got the technology to create something like that."

"That means you can see the future?"

"I don't know."

"But it seems so. I guess ... whoever this pony is ... he or she is trying to get the control about you. I am so sorry but there is nothing I can do for you at the moment."

"WHAT? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!" I SHOUTED.

"ALEX THAT´S THE PRINCESS!" said Night Light.

"It´s ok Night Light. Alex, see, the first thing what you have to do is, trying to find out what the numbers could mean. They could show you a date, a position, anything else. Go inside you and maybe if you found something out, I could help you to stop it." said Celestia.

"Great, I reached nothing today."

"Don't listen to voice in your head. But don't ignore the pictures you see. I guess they are showing you the future of your world."

"Yes, what ever, thanks Princess." I said and left the room. I needed some fresh air.

"I guess he is really pissed right now."

"Yes Night Light, I understand this but it is similar to that what happened to you. Something really strange is going on here. Keep an eye of him. Report me about everything what he is doing." said the Princess.

"I will." said Night Light.
