Call of Duty Black Ops - Ember
Chapter 4: Mason goes crazy
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThat chapter seems a bit crazy but you will find out later why Alex became so crazy, so don't worry. And no the leader is not Nightmare Moon ^^
I sat in Night Lights and Velvets living room, reading my books, first I read that one with the story of Equestira than everything about their geography and the last one with the myth and legends of Equestria. It was interesting to see how different their world is. I don't know why but sometimes I could see a number on special pages. I don't know what that meant but they always appeared on the part with Nightmare Moon, Rainbow Factory and on a forest. The story which the young filly told me, was exactly the same which stood in this book. The part with the rainbow factory was interesting too. It told that young fillies and other ponies disappear immediately and no pony has ever came back. The rainbow factory was a place in Cloudstale. It was an island on the clouds where the most pegauses live. On the rainbow factory they create their rainbows, it should make Equestria looking better. I sat hours on these books. I compare the texts with my numbers, I showed that maybe it could be coordinates or something like that. After hours of work I found out that the numbers really showed me a coordinate mid in a forest. Ok I wasn't sure if this helped something but as I thought about it again I could saw the pictures again ... as I landed here. The next weird thing was, all the time I felt like ... someone was spectating me. Something was wrong. I sometimes felt a cold wind behind my back. As I browsed to the last site of the book with the myth and legends there stood something.
"I AM WATCHING YOU, MASON!" written in blood again. I jumped up and threw the book away. This time someone spoke to me. It wasn't numbers this time but a voice.
"I´ll BE WATCHING YOU! EVERY STEP YOU TAKE! EVERY SINGLE MOVE YOU MAKE! EVERY WORD YOU SAY. I CAN SEE EVERYTHING WHAT YOU DOING!"
"Who the fuck is there?" I asked. I looked around then I looked at the windows and there stood this ... silhouette again with his grin scary face.
"SLSLSLSLSLSLLSLSLSLSLSLSLSHSHSHSLSHLSHSHSLSHLSHLSHLSHSLSHSLSSHHLSHL" it whispered in a unknown language I couldn't understand.
"You cant scare me!" I said. I went to the bath room. I splashed some water to my face. As I looked at the mirror again the dark sihulette stood behind me at the bathroom door.
"HOHLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!" I shouted but the silhouette disappeared again.
"Mason? Is everything all right?" asked Night Light.
"Yes, and I have to leave you now." I said and tried to leave their house but Night Light blocked me.
"You are going to nowhere. I cant let you go."
"I am not a psychopath!"
"I WONT LET YOU GO!"
"GO AWAY AND LEAVE ME ALONE!" I said and I left Night Lights house.
"What happened?" asked Velvet.
"I think he found something out ... I will follow him."
"But be careful you know how he is. He has a high position on Earth."
"I know baby, don't worry I will be back soon."
"Please be careful, I wont loose you."
"Hey, it´s ok. I don't go into a war I will only follow him."
Mason´s FOV:
I followed the path which the numbers showed me. I wasn't sure if this was the right way or not. A compass didn't help much on this world. I always saw this cottage in the forest. I wanted to know what that means, I wanted to know what that means with the nightmares and all that stuff. Maybe it´s only a myth but I wanted to find it out. I MUST. The numbers told me I had to do it. By the way, there was no second I couldn't think about David. I hope he is fine. I told Woods that if I die one day he should keep an eye of him. Woods was sometimes a bit ... yea ... a bit crazy but the best friend which you can have. The days here in Equestria wasn't that long like on Earth. I already wandering over 4 hours. Rivers, small hills and stuff delayed it all a bit.
After 5 hours I finally reached my target. I don't know where I was but I marked the way which I gone. But there was it. The cottage. The same like on my dreams. Exactly in front of a mountain.
*SSSSHSHSS* A rustle from the bushes. I hide me behind a tree. Nothing. I took my knife and moved forward. Slow and carefully. The door wasn't lock. I opened it and entered a room which looked like an office. There was a table a chair and a lot of pictures of ponies. And if I mean a lot I mean A LOT. Some of them are crossed out. But there was something really interesting. There was a world map of Equestria and ... of the Earth.
"What the hell is going on here?" I asked myself and as I saw the map of the Earth I could hear the numbers again. The numbers which told me the location of the RUSALKA. The United States was marked. Exactly the same circles. They showed the areas where the sleeper cells were.
"That's impossible ... that cant be true." I said, suddenly I could hear a voice. I searched a place where I could hide me. The cupboard! I went inside. A pony entered the room. It was a brown collared Pegasus, two swords as his cutie mark.
"Don't worry, they will join us. If these rebels join our shadow bolts we will have the biggest aircraft in all Equestria. We only need something to tempt them and don't forget all the fillies."
"... ... ... ..."
"Of course she is impatient but she shouldn't worried about it we only need more time."
"... ... you wont get more time .... she is already really angry."
"To control ponies isn't that simple like humans ... we need more time."
"... ... yes try to explain her that."
"The problem is that the fillies also the humans aren't able to distinguish their own memories from the implanted one, they go crazy. The lost of Friedrich Steiner ... . Yes So it is not our fault."
Fillies, humans, Friedrich Steiner? Implanted memories? I heard enough. I opened the cupboard door very quiet and went to that pony. I took my pistol went closer and closer.
"OK. Don't worry give me only one week and I promise you that these rebels will join the shadow bolts ... the part with the memories are the ponies in couldstale their part." *DDUUUF*
"I SWEAR BY GOD YOU ARE DEAD IF YOU DONT DO WHAT I AM SAYING TO YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!" I said to the pony hit his ugly face to the table and pressed my pistol against his head.
"I call you later again." said the brown Pegasus and turned off the radio. He turned his head to me and smiled.
"What´s so funny asshole?"
"HAHAHA the failed project. Test subject 115. The human, Alex Mason, the only human who was able to set against the numbers. With success.
"SHUT UP!" I shouted. I took a chair and threw him onto it. I took a rope next to him and bounded him on this chair.
"You want to kill me?" he asked still with his evil grin.
"Maybe, you answer me my questions!"
"I wont!" he said.
"Oh really?" I said and took my knife. If I looked at this ponies face I knew not only on earth was the evil. If I looked at his face I saw Menendez.
"YOU WILL TALK TO ME!" I said and hit my knife into his hove. I put my hand over his mouth that he wasn't able to cry. He opened his eyes very wide.
"HOW DOES THAT FEEL YOU SON OF A BITCH? HUH? DO YOU LIKE IT? I HAVE MORE OF THIS! I HAVE TIME!" and I hit his face. Blood sprayed out of his mouth.
"You have no idea what´s really going on. You maybe broke the brainwash with the numbers but there is so much more heheheh."
"AHA WASNT THE HOVE ENOUGH? HEY I AM REALLY SURE YOU LOVE IT TO FLY BUT NOW ... YOU WONT NEED YOUR WINGS ANYMORE." And this time he had a really surprised expression. I took my knife again and pulled on his wing and hit my knife right in the mid of them.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"YES DO YOU LIKE IT?" And I made the same on his other wing. This time he screamed louder as everything I ever heard.
"You ... you are ... crazy." said the Pegasus.
"YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT MOSTER YOU CREATED SO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS! WHY DO YOU HAVE A MAP OF THE EARTH HERE AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN WITH "WE IMPLATED MEMORIES OF HUMANS!"
"I ... I *ugh* I work ... I work for a pony ...."
"YES WHO!?"
"His name ... is ... he is a Pegasus."
"A PEGASUS THERE ARE THAUSANDS OF THEM WHO IS THAT PONY!"
"I don't know who our boss is ... I have never seen him or hear. I swear. But I talked with ... a Pegasus called Woodentoaster.... *cccrck* We are working on a project ... trying to control the mind of other creatures."
"Kill him, he is a traitor!" said a unknown voice and the numbers appeared again.
"Please, I do everything you want ... but don't kill me...!"
"DO IT HE MUST DIE! HE BETRAYED EVERYONE OF US!"
"Your world ... will fall ... she needs the human knowledge, their technology ... after failing with NOVA 6 ... she is searching for other methods ... to get the control over Equestira. The Unite States were only a test. She isn't interested if millions die or not."
"What do you mean with "HER" who?"
"Never mind if human or pony. Dragovich, Kravchenko, Steiner and now Menendez, they are all only marionettes ... like me AND YOU."
"KILL HIM NOW!" said the voice again. I took my M1911 aimed to his head and shot.
"ALEX NOOOOOOOOOO!"
Night Light´s FOV: 5 minutes before:
I followed Mason. I couldn't leave him alone who knows what he is actually doing right now. Hours had gone. He marked his way to find the way back. Our journey ended on a cottage. I heard voices. And one of them sounded familiar. Alex voice and they didn't sound very friendly.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WITH "HER"?
"Never mind if human or pony. Dragovich, Kravchenko, Steiner and now Menendez, they are all only marionettes ... like me AND YOU." Mason aimed a weapon on the ponies head and shot.
"ALEX NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I shouted but to late he already shot. He tried to point his weapon to me too but I used my magic and pushed him against a wall. He still hold his weapon in his right hand. He tried to shot at me again but I used a metallic rod and hit it so hard as I could at his head. After that he was unconscious.
