Chapters Call of Duty Black Ops - Ember
Prolog - Call of Duty Black Ops I
First Name: Alex
Mason is asked questions by an unknown interrogator about a numbers broadcast which is being used to contact Soviet sleeper cells in the United States. These questions set the stage for the campaign missions.
The first mission is a flashback to Mason's participation in the Bay of Pigs Invasion, a doomed effort to assassinate Fidel Castro. At the end of this mission, Mason is captured by Castro's soldiers and given to Nikita Dragovich as a 'gift.' He is held captive at the Vorkuta Gulag, a Russian labor camp, for two years.
After further interrogation, Mason recounts how, during his imprisonment at Vorkuta, he befriended Viktor Reznov, a former Red Army soldier. Reznov assists Mason in sparking a prisoner uprising at Vorkuta, which facilitates Mason's escape from the prison.
One month after his escape, Mason is escorted to the Pentagon with his handler, Jason Hudson, where he receives authorization from President John F. Kennedy to assassinate Dragovich. He is then dispatched with Frank Woods and Joseph Bowman to Baikonur Cosmodrome in the Kazakh SSR to sabotage the Soviet space program. The team saves a captured operative and destroy the Soyuz 2 as it is launched. Dragovich, who is present at the launch, escapes alive, forcing Mason to spend the next five years searching for him.
By 1968, the SOG, including Mason, is deployed in Vietnam to investigate the Soviet presence. After Mason helps defend the military camp at Khe Sanh, he is deployed to Hue during the Tet Offensive to recover a dossier with information on Dragovich from an unnamed defector. The team recovers the dossier, and Mason discovers that Reznov is the defector.
After Mason escapes Hue City, the campaign shifts to a mission in Kowloon, Hong Kong, where Hudson is sent to find and interrogate Dr. Clarke, a scientist working under Dragovich. The mission goes awry, and Clarke is killed while Hudson seeks to escape Dragovich's men.
Then, after further interrogation, Mason reveals the story, as told to him by Reznov, of the history behind Dragovich, his associate, Lev Kravchenko, and German ally, Dr. Friedrich Steiner. These events take place shortly after World War II, and are told through the eyes of Viktor Reznov. They detail Dragovich's discovery of the German chemical weapon, Nova 6, and illustrate his ruthlessness as he murders his own soldiers to witness the effects of the weapon, including Reznov's close friend, Dimitri Petrenko. This mission ends with Reznov asking Mason to promise him that Pentrenko's death will be avenged, and Dragovich, along with his allies, Kravchenko and Steiner, will be killed.
The interrogation moves back to 1968, and Mason describes how he and the rest of his squad from the SOG fight their way through Viet Cong-controlled territory in an ultimately futile attempt to chase an elusive Kravchenko, and are later sent to locate and investigate a downed Soviet plane containing Nova 6. During this investigation, Mason, Woods, and Bowman are captured by the Viet Cong.
Again, the perspective switches to Agent Hudson, who is sent on a mission to infiltrate a Soviet base in the Ural Mountains, a suspected development center of Nova 6. The control room the facility is rigged with explosives in a trap set by Dragovich, but Hudson's team is contacted remotely by Dr. Steiner, who gives his location and promises, in exchange for safety from Dragovich's systematic elimination of "loose ends," information on cracking the numbers broadcast.
After this mission is completed, Mason describes to his interrogator how Bowman was killed while imprisoned, and how he and Woods escape from their Viet Cong captors. Mason fights across a vast swath of Vietnamese land in a stolen Mi-24 Hind to reach Kravchenko's base. At this base, Mason again meets Reznov, who leads him through the base towards Kravchenko. When Mason reaches Kravchenko, he commits suicide with his bandolier of grenades, seemingly killing Woods in the process. Mason and Reznov then recover documents that lead them to Rebirth Island.
Mason's story converges with Hudson's at Rebirth Island, as both fight their way through a Soviet Nova 6 research and production facility to reach Dr. Steiner. Hudson engages in an all-out assault on the facility with light armor and a squad of CIA operatives, while Mason sneaks into the facility with Reznov. Mason reaches Steiner only shortly before Hudson, and watches as Reznov murders Steiner.
However, when the same story is retold through Hudson's eyes, it is revealed that it was, in fact, Mason alone who shot Steiner, while exclaiming that he was Reznov and would have revenge. The flashbacks end and the interrogation continues. Hudson reveals himself to be the interrogator and confronts Mason face-to-face in a desperate bid to break him free of his brainwashing. In this mission, it is revealed that, while at Vorkuta, Mason was subjected to severe mental reconditioning in order to turn him into a sleeper cell who would perform Soviet missions in America. However, Reznov 'hijacked' this conditioning and used it to instill in Mason an absolute devotion to complete Reznov's vow for revenge. Reznov was actually killed in the escape from Vorkuta, and, therefore, all subsequent appearances of his character are merely a part of Mason's imagination, brought on by the intense nature of the brainwashing Mason experienced.
As the reprogramming of Mason's brain is finally broken, Mason recalls the origin of the numbers broadcast, a ship off the shore of Cuba called the Rusalka. In a CIA raid on the ship and the underwater broadcast station over which it is anchored, Mason strangles Dragovich to his death and sinks the broadcast station, ending the threat that the sleeper agents presented to the United States.
Later:
According to Woods, by 1986 Alex Mason had effectively retired from active duty to pursue an obscure existence in Alaska with his son, the seven-year-old David. Their shaky relationship is strained further when Mason is solicited by his former handler Jason Hudson, seeking to recruit him for an assignment in Cuando Cubango during the height of the Angolan civil and South African Border Wars. Woods had disappeared with his men while aiding Jonas Savimbi's UNITA rebels against Angola's Marxist government; their actions have already been disavowed by the CIA and Hudson hopes to rescue any survivors. With UNITA's assistance, Mason and Hudson recover Woods from the Cubango, subsequently locating Menendez among a contingent of Cuban military advisers. However, a firefight breaks out, and their quarry escapes as the Americans are rescued by helicopter. It is revealed that Menendez is responsible for holding Woods captive after murdering his team.
In light of this information, Mason and Hudson begin tracking Menendez, who has established himself as a primary arms dealer for bush conflicts in Southern Africa and Latin America and worked for Dragovich. Later in the year, the CIA authorizes a strike against the unscrupulous Nicaraguan, now making a healthy profit running arms across Soviet-occupied Afghanistan. At this point, Menendez's motive for his seemingly senseless vendetta against the West become clear: his beloved sister was grievously injured in an act of arson committed by American businessmen for insurance money. The Menendez clan, which dominates a powerful drug cartel, was again rocked by loss when the CIA sanctions the assassination of Raul's father. An embittered Menendez now considers the conflict to be personal, but his one-man struggle against the West is interrupted when Mason, Woods, Hudson, and local security forces raid his headquarters in Nicaragua; an enraged Woods inadvertently kills Raul's sister, Josefina with a grenade.
Faking his demise with the assistance of Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega, Menendez lives to retaliate against those he holds personally responsible for his sister's death. During the 1989 invasion of Panama, he kidnaps Hudson and David, using them as bait for a trap. He then uses Hudson to mislead Woods, manipulating him into shooting Mason instead of himself. In Afghanistan, it is implied that Menendez had used moles within the CIA. In the ensuing chaos, Menendez kills Hudson and cripples Woods. Unsatisfied with his revenge, Menendez allows Woods and David to live, promising to return to complete his revenge when the time is right.
And so it begins ...
Call of Duty Black Ops - Ember
Chapter 1: Where am I?
Dust. Pain. Dust filled my lunges. I felt the pain on my knees. Thank goodness that Woods is bad in shooting. He only hit my leg. Woods, David, Hudson, ... this guy Raul Menendez, he has them all. He killed Hudson and he will kill David and Woods too. I opened my eyes. I breath was fast and heavy. Trees, trees everywhere. I looked around and I wasn't in the cottage anymore. I tried to stand up but my knees wont let me stand up. The pain was to much for me. Oh god David, where are you.
"DAVID!!!" I shouted. Nothing. Only some birds flew away.
"DAAAAAAAAVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID!" I shouted again and again of course nothing.
Oh god no no no, please god please ... I hope Menendez wont kill him. If I will catch this FUCKING ASSHOLE I WILL KILL THIS GUY. And he can be together with his sister again. This guy was an psychopath. Dragovich, Graf Chenko, Steiner, these guys were already psychopaths but this guy was ... I have never seen a person who is so much full of hate.
"DAVID!" I shouted and tried to reach the place where he sat. He was still sitting in the same position. As I reached the place and trying to touch him, he disappeared.
"DAVID! NOOOO!!" I said and moved on. I heard a female voice. Laughing.
"Hello? Who is there?" and looked around but nothing.
"No no no Alex, that's the numbers, nothing of this is true. Its only the numbers."
"Graf Chenko, Dragovich, Steiner ... THEY ALL MUST DIE!" said a familiar voice. It was Reznov.
"REZNOV! You are dead. You cant talk to me anymore."
"THE NUMBERS MASON! WHAT DO THEY MEAN?" said a second familiar voice. Hudson.
"No Hudson, you are dead too you cant ... GOD MY HEAD! STOP THIS SHIT PLEASE!"
"The communists are a big danger for the nationally security. Mason, stop them!" said another familiar voice. This time it was the voice of JFK.
"Your life will be consumed by absolute loss!" This time it was the voice of Raul Menendez.
"9 19 18 4 6 21 17 14 9 19 8 24 17 24 5 13 11 20 15 21 24 11 9 12 8 20 21 10..."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH STOOOOP!" I shouted and I felt to the ground.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Dad? DAD? DAD? Where are you?" said David.
"I am here my son, come with me, we have to leave this place." I said. We were on the cottage where Menendez killed Hudson and maybe Woods too.
"No I wont!" said David?
"What ... WHY?" I asked. David opened his mouth and suddenly a big bright light appeared and ...
"WOOOW! Oh ... I was only dreaming." I said. I felt something soft and comfortable under my back. I was laying on a soft bed. I never felt something like that after leaving David to save Woods. I noticed that my beard was gone, my hair cut and my body was clean and also someone bandaged my wound on my knees. I looked around and I guess it was a guess room. I looked outside the window and I could see a small village. The building looked weird. The rooms were small, the bed was small. It seems that this person wasn't bigger than maybe 1.40 meters. I could hear some voices but I couldn't describe this language. It was something what I had never heard before. Suddenly the door opened. I was searching for my gun but I couldn't find it. Not even my knife. The door was open and... there stood something. Something I had never seen before. I wasn't sure if it was the result of Steiners work with the numbers or the wars but in front of me stood a small horse. A pony. A pony with a white purple mane and with a horn. Or Black Night put something on my beer before we left and went to the war.
"Hello, sir." said the pony.
"What ... the ... fuck?" I thought.
"Is everything all right?" asked the pony and came closer.
"NO! NO Stay away from me. You are not real. That's the numbers again. Right? The numbers!"
"Sir what is going on with you?"
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" I shouted and I didn't note that I was bounded on that bed.
"LET ME GO!" I said.
"Night Light please you have to help me this creature ..." and a second pony this time in blue entered the room.
"Sir, hey, calm down soldier. You are save. Nopony is going to hurt you."
Wait what did he say? Nopony? Never heard a word like this? And how can he know that I am a soldier?
"OK WHO ARE YOU? WHERE AM I? WHATS GOING ON HERE?"
"SSSH Sir please calm down first."
"Ok. I ask you again where am I? And how did I get here?"
"We found you on the Everyfree Forest. The most dangerous place here in Equestria."
"WHERE?"
"You are on the planet Equestrian, on the magical place Equestria."
"OK that's the craziest shit I´ve ever heard. I mean you are talking ponies which speak the same language like me."
"It´s because ... we know what you are. You are a human, aren't you?"
"Yes, I am but how did I get here, you still didn't answered my question."
"I hope to hearing that from you, Mr Alex Mason."
"Yes, that's my name and no I don't know how I did get here and how can you know that I am a soldier?"
"Because ... your whole person, ... you are similar to me. I am a soldier to Mr Alex Mason." said the blue unicorn called Night Light.
"The last thing I remember ... is that this fucking asshole Raul Menendez killed Hudson and he has my son. Then I saw a bright light and ... I don't know what happened."
The blue pony came closer. His horn started to glow. "This should help you to remember everything." he said. Suddenly the blue pony becomes to Steiner. The guy who wants to control me for Dragovichs and Graf Chenkos plan.
"MY NAME IS REZNOV AND I WILL KILL YOU!" I SHOUTED.
"Huh? What is going on with him?" asked Twilight Velvet.
"It seems like he got brainwashed. He believes he is a second person too."
"How is that possible?"
"I don't know but ... he needs help. Mason, listen only to the sound of my voice." The blue pony hold my head and his horn was still glowing.
"Tell me what you can see."
"I see an helicopter, soldiers, birds, I always see these crows, I can see a house on the mountains, the mountains looks so ... foreign. It seems like they are not from here. I can see a girl sitting on the window, I guess its Menendez ... sister but I am not sure, I can see a town in the clouds... and the numbers, what the fuck is going on with me?"
"OK Alex, that's enough, I guess you still need some sleep. If you need something, talk to us."
"Hey, wait!" I said.
"Yes?"
"Thanks for everything."
"It´s ok Alex, we know that's to much for you. We will do this step for step. Here is some apple cider, the best of all Equestria."
"Yea thank you you two. Good night."
"Good night Alex." said Night Light. It seems that these two young ponies were a couple. It´s better if I sleep a bit and this time I hope without any nightmares.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
"What did you see?" asked Velvet.
"I saw ... his past. He fought a lot of wars. The Earth is ... a really dangerous place."
"That means it´s true what the books says?"
"Yes Darling. And I guess he got brainwashed. I saw ... these numbers. I don't know ... everything was a ... mess. There wasn't a order. It was really weird. But there was one thing what I seen every time."
"And what?"
"A tree. A tree with a symbol I have never seen before. Maybe a cutie mark. I don't know ... and I have seen a boy."
"He told me that he has a son called David."
"Yes, I have to talk with the princess tomorrow, I don't think it was an accident. It has a reason why he is here."
"Never mind, Night Light. I am so tiered and I want to cuddle with you."
"Oooh Velvet ... yes ok come on lets go to bed."

Chapter 2: Nightmares, numbers and a mysteries
"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!"
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.

Chapter 3: A really interesting conversation with a young filly
Great, not even the princess of the sun could help me with my problems. Night Light told me so many about her, that she could control the sun, and bla bla bla. He also said that she is the fittest one with magic. Yes, definitely that's why she can´t help me. I really hope and thought she could help me, she is my rescue but no. I was walking around through this castle. I was amazed about this ... building. Everything was so bright, colorful and ... if I look at their histories, there is not much like war or fights or something like that. These ponies have a ... really simple system BUT it works. Better then the US goverment or other goverments in my world. No it works better than all goverments on my planet together. I dont want to say that everything sucks but ... I know I am a soldier, I have to fight for the rights but sometimes, I know not everything what I am doing is right. If you work for the CIA you start to belive everything. Earlier I was that man who thoughts, that all these humans who believe in these "conspiracy theory" are idiots ... but the US goverment showed me exactly the opposite of it. The thing with the numbers is the best example. I hope my son will have a better life ....
*BAAAAM* "UUF!" I crashed into something or someone. It was a small pony ... a filly. It has a white skin and purple eyes.
"HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH A MONSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" it shouted.
"Hey, hey hey, calm down, I am not a monster, maybe you heard from me. It´s me the human from Earth." I said. The young filly was still looking at me and it started to scream again.
"A HUMAN MONSTER FROM EARTH!!!!!!!!"
"Hey, I dont wanna hurt you ok! We crashed into together."
"Uh, ehm, eeeeeeh, yes right. Hey you on two walking big alien wanna be my friend?" asked the filly.
"I guess, there are a lot of pony in your age."
"Yes but they are all boring and I can show you that I have a big big big alien as my friend. HUUUUUUUH COOL IS THAT A PISTOL where you can shoot peas?"
"Yea ... more or less ... hey you lost your book." I said and I gave the young filly her book back. On the front page there was a big blue unicorn which looked evil.
"OU yes, thank you! Do you have a name?"
"Yes, Alex Mason and what is your name?" I asked.
"My name is Pansy. Hey this book is about Nightmare Moon. Do you know her?"
"No not really."
"It´s about Nightmare Moon. She is responsible for the night. Celestia is responsible for the day. And it says that Celestia and Luna had an very very big argument and Celestia banished her sister to the moon for over a thousand years ago and some ponies like me are sure that she is responsible for our nightmares and dreams. She is able to look inside your memories like Celestia because she is an Alicorn too."
"Wait, wait, wait, you said she is responsible for nightmares?"
"Yeaaaaaaaa but ... its only a myth, no pony believe this. Some believe this some not."
"Do you believe it?"
"Yes of course, I am really sure because on every myth is something real."
"Tell me more about this Luna and the Nightmares."
"Ou she is very very evil. She is looking inside your memories, your dreams. She can manipulate them. One pony told me that he was caught in his nightmare. He always stood and made the same thing. And every time something really bad happened. Other ponies told me that they really weird things. If something really bad happened to a pony it dream it every single night and there are some ponies which believe that she is controlling other ponies."
"Aha ... ok ... ehm ... only ponies or could this happen to other creatures like me too?"
"Are humans dreaming too?"
"Yes, we do ... why?"
"Then she can look inside your memories and dreams too."
"Oh."
"Yes, but don't worry Sir, it is only a myth, nothing is confirmed. Ou damn it´s so damn late I have to go to school now. Good buy Mr Mason."
"Bye little girl." I said and the filly ran away.
"Hey, Mason? Is everything all right?" asked Night Light.
"Yes, of course, I crashed only into this young filly. She told me a bit about her life and school and stuff."
"Aha, come on let´s go home."
"Ehm wait Night Light. Is there something like a library here in Equestria?" I wonder that I still knew the name of this place.
"Yes, in Ponyville. Why?"
"I need some books, I need something to read."
"OK but I am going with you before you become crazy again."
"HEY I AM NOT CRAZY OK IF YOU KNEW WHAT HAPPNED TO ME YOU WOULD KNOW WHAT ..."
"Hey, dude, calm down, I understand you." We left the castle and went back to Ponyville.
2 hours later:
We arrived Ponyville again. This time it was my first time that I walked through this small village. It was a very peaceful place. Everypony here seems to have his own duty. I note that every pony here had a tattoo on his flank. Night Light told me that it shows their special talents. Interesting. It would be interesting to know what my "Cutiemark" would be. A number? A pistol? Or the SOG logo. The flag of the Unite States? Whatever. The ponies looked at me like ... yea how would I look like if an alien visit our Earth. I guess the same. We finally reached the Library. I was surprised. The Library was a fucking tree house. Never mind better than nothing.
"OK Mason, we reached the Library. I will stay outside here. If you need something..."
"I will call you." I said and entered the library. It was interesting to see how it was build. Bookshelves everywhere and full of books of course. That must be their whole knowledge or maybe even more. In the mid of this tree house there sat a pony which was busy to sort some books.
"Hello." I said and the pony gave his full attention to me.
"Hello sir how ... oh ... you must be the newcomer right? Well, welcome, welcome to Equestrias library, here you can find everything you want. About our history, big ponies and so one and so one. How can I help you? Do you already know which book you want or do you prefer to look around first?"
I looked around and suddenly I could hear the fucking numbers again but this time only 4 of them. 19 6 20 25. As I heard the numbers 4 books in the bookshelves started to glow.
"I need the book number 19, 6, 20 and 25. That's all."
"Eeeeehm, ok ... just a moment please." said the pony and gave me the books.
"Ok the fist one is about our geography, and the second one about famous ponies and history, very good choice sir, the third one about ... our wars. Hm ok why not? We should never forget the ponies who fought our wars."
"Yes that's right." I said.
"You are a soldier too?" asked the pony.
"Yes, I am." I said but this time I tried to hide my pistol cause, not everyone or better everypony has to know that I wear weapons with me.
"OK and the last one is ... Sir? That's a fable. Nightmare Moon and other myths? Sir, are you not a bit to old for this stuff? Aren´t you?"
"Give me that book!" I said.
"OK ehm ... the first week is free and then it costs 5 bits per day."
"Yea, that's ok, thanks." I said and left the library. I went outside again and Night Light was still waiting for me.
"Wow, that was fast." he said.
"Yes, come on let´s go home ... I have to do something."
"Ehm ... ok ... never mind." said Night Light surprised.
I know it sounds stupid but maybe these books could help me to find out more. I mean the numbers showed me exactly the right books I wanted.

Chapter 4: Mason goes crazy
That 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.
*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.

Los Angeles - 2pm - 14th June 2017: Woods apartment:
And here I am. I sat on my wheelchair smoking my cigarettes. David finished his school today. His big dream was it to be a part of the Navy Seals. He was like his dad. I like him. He is fine. He loved it to play soccer and he also love it to climb on trees. It sounds stupid but I think he love it to prove something. To improve his dad that he can do it. The last time he saw him he felt from the tree. Until today, I have no idea where his dad is. Alex, I am so sorry. David didn't know that I have killed his dad. I cant tell him it. He would hate me. But one day I have to tell him the truth. As he asked me what happened to him I told him that his dad get killed by an psychopath. He has no memories about what happened in Panama. After that mission I went into retirement. I fought enough wars. But David was save. His dad, dead and Menendez this fucking asshole ... alive. I trained him to shoot with weapons, to defend himself. He lost his mum after he was born. She lost to much blood. The poor guy hasn't an easy life. But every time I saw him, he remembered me on his dad. I was worried about the future. Technology became stronger and we weaker. America is working to create a complete unmanned army. I was worried about if this was the right job for David but he want it so much. To become a part of the US Army. Like his dad. If he will die one day I hope he die a better death than his dad. There were two guys, Harper and Crosby, Harper was one of the bad boys and Crosby was one of the technic freaks. But both of them were good. They are good for David. They make him strong.
"Hey, David!" I shouted.
"Yes uncle Woods?"
"Come to me, I want to show you something." I rolled into my apartment and David followed me. We entered in my bedroom. He stood behind me and I opened a drawer and gave him a box.
"What is that uncle Woods?" asked David.
"Open it little guy." He opened the box and his eyes became wide.
"That's ... that's a pistol."
"Yes, the Browning HP from your dad, it is yours now. Trust me it has more recoil but 10 times better than this modern shit what the US Army has."
"Thanks uncle Woods."
"Take care of it David."
"Oh I will."
I know Raul Menendez was outside there. I don't know where but what ever he is planning for the future. It´s nothing good. And he is haunting David. I know it. But what is he waiting for? 25 years has gone and there wasn't any life sign of him. Whatever he is planning, it´s something big and that's not good. The CIA means he disappeared or killed himself. Idiots. A man like him wont to that. He want his payback ... cause he lost his sister Josefina. I understand his hate against me and Mason but that doesn't mean that he has to kill other innocent people. It isn't over. He is only waiting for the right moment and then he strikes back and that will costs million of people their life.
A lot of people asked me if I believe in god. And I always say NO. Then they ask me why. I mean ... earlier I believed in him. But today I only believe in the devil. If you look at our world. The corruption people win every time. I mean if there would be a god, I hadn't shot Alex, if there would be a god he had told me that it wasn't Menendez instead his dad. If there would be a god, I wouldn't lost so many good friends and soldiers. All these idiots around the world which still believe the world is changing to the better one .... pfff my ass. Idiots. Idiots who wont accept our future. It´s going to be worse not better. I was a soldier, I have seen so many crazy things, ... after that you really ask yourself if there is really a god ... or if ever was. Alex my friend how shall I told your son that I killed you. He will hate me. He will never forgive me. First Bowman, Hudson, Black Night, the young boy in Vietnam, River and now you ... that isn't fair! AND THIS FUCKING ASSHOLE MENENDEZ IS RUNNING OUTSIDE THERE AND IS PLANNING HIS RAGE AGAINST AMERICA. But always I look to David, I can see that little bit hope for us. He makes me strong, maybe he is the only reason that holds me alive. I wont be sad if he leave me one day, because I know he is fighting for the right thing, he fights for our right to live. To save his country and the world against persons like Dragovich and Menendez.
Alex always told me that the shit with the numbers are over ... but I never believed him. I don't know what it was. That wasn't only a brainwashing of the Russians there was something more. Maybe something supernatural? I don't know. I mean that there was someone in his head. I don't know who but I am sure it wasn't Reznov. Alex, wherever you are, please keep looking for your son. I don't want to loose another good soldier ... and notably a good human. He deserved a good time in the army and one day this boy will reach something big, I know it.
Frank Woods took of David as his own son:

Chapter 6: What do you know what we don´t know
"Wake up! I SAID WAKE UP!" *PUUUUUUUNCH*
"What the fuck, what the hell?" I thought to myself, looking around and all what I saw was a blue collared unicorn. We were in a kind of prison.
"Hey, what happened?" I asked.
"What happened? You can´t remember? Are you fucking kidding me? Mason you killed a pony!?"
"Because HE EARNED IT!!!"
"That's not the reason to kill somepony. We could had need him! By Celestia, what the fuck is going on with you?"
"I DONT KNOW IT MAN!"
"Alex, who is in your head?"
"In my head? There is no one!"
"Alex, there is somepony, somepony is trying to control you! You are not human anymore. You are like a machine!"
"I ALWAYS SEE THIS STUPID NUMBERS!"
"And what do they mean?"
"Oh come one don't start with that shit, I FUCKING DONT KNOW IT!"
"Mason, you already broke a number combination!"
"Yes but this is different!"
"Why?"
"BECAUSE I AM ON A FUCKING ALIEN PLANET WITH TAKING PONIES!"
"That makes no sense."
"ASSHOLE!"
"Mason, please think about it ...."
"SON OF A BITCH!" I shouted.
"Mason, you have no clue in which situation you are. Listen, there is somepony in your head and if we can´t stop it, you will die and your world and mine will fall."
"HOW?"
"I don't know, you talked with that Pegasus, tell me what he told you."
"I already told you what I know!"
"No, there is something which I still don't know, listen ..."
*NO YOU LISTEN ONLY TO THE SOUND OF MY VOICE!* said a unknown voice.
"AAAAAHG God, she is back!"
"Who Mason, who is she?"
"I DONT FUCKING KNOW IT! GET OUT OF MY HEAD. THAT PAIN ... OH MY GOOOOOOOD!"
"Hey, Mason, close your eyes, try to remember everything, what you have seen. Every single detail, the map, what did you see... what have you seen on your worlds map on the equestrian map?"
"I can see ... a meeting .... there are some ponies .... only pegasusses. Some of them ... have a kind of ... military ... uniform ... yes, and the other ones look like .... I don't know like ... rebels ... I would describe them like that."
"Where?"
"On a ... place ... I don't know where. At the near of the mountains again. There is a kind of ... station ... I don't know what it is ... there is a moon as their logo and ..."
"That's enough Mason, good job!" said a female voice.
"Princess Celestia!" said Night Light.
"Alex?"
"Yes Princess?" I was surprised about her coming.
"You have looked into the future, Mason."
"What? Impossible? How can I ...?"
"The Numbers Mason." I started to believe that these numbers didn't want to hurt me, they tried to help me.
"You already did it one time ... unwitting. As you borrowed the books from the library."
She was right, I remember, I borrowed exactly the book I needed. I only saw the numbers and I knew what I wanted. They are really trying to help me.
"I think you both have a mission right now." said Celestia.
"What does that mean?"
"You will help Night Light to stop the Shadow Bolts before they win these rebels for their own."
"I heard her, you will help me to stop them. Are you ready?"
"Wait? I don't understand anything anymore."
"You and I will stop these Shadow Bolts before it´s to late."
"If you cant stop them they will create the biggest aircraft in whole Equestria. There is nopony who could stop them after that."
I remembered what the pony said after I killed him. I remembered also as he told about humans and stuff like that.
"Princess Celsestia?"
"Yes Alex, is there anything else you want to tell me?"
"Yes ... no ... no I don't think so."
"So good luck you two."
"Thanks princess." I said and she left the room with her two guards.
"Are you ready Mason?" asked Night Light.
"I thought you wont fight any wars anymore."
"I am still a valet of the princess and I am the same as you. I am an agent. We will be never in the retirement."
"Yes, maybe you are right."
"The princess brought your bag. It is full of weapons and ammo."
"Huh? I never brought some weapons with me."
"Yes, you did. We only seized them." And Night Light threw a bag in front of my feet.
"Wait ... how is ... you saved them all!" I said. I opened the bag and there were a ton of weapons. A famas, the AUG, the AK-47, my Python, the HK21 and the Enfield, smoke nades, flash grenades, semtex grenades.
"I guess you could start a little war with this?"
"Yes, but not a big one."
"Some of them looks similar with ours."
"You have weapons too? I thought you only have swords and stuff like that."
"Not really, we have fire weapons, similar to yours but we don't use bullets we use a kind of energy bullets, the different between yours and ours are that if you hit somepony the area where he or she got hit burns."
"incendiary ammunition?"
"Not exactly, but it stews."
"Ah .. now I get it." I took my AK-47, 2 flash nades and 1 smoke nade and my bullet save west of course. Night Light, took a kind of shotgun or what ever it was with him and a crossbow.
"Hey, we have these things on my world too."
"Really?"
"Yes, they are very effective, you need a lot of skill to kill someone but if you have it, it´s easy."
"OK?"
"Yes and we sometimes but explosive arrows on them."
"Wow, I never tried that."
"You should. It´s funny."
"Maybe another time. Are you ready?"
"Ready if you are ready. Where we going?"
"To the place of your dream."
"I don't know where it is."
"But I do. So follow me. And Alex, please, don't try to kill everypony."
"OK only the half." Ok for Night Light it wasn't funny.
"Listen, my girlfriend don't know anything about that ok. And its better she never will. So ... no word to her ok?"
"I promise." I said.
"OK, let´s do it." he said and left the room. I don't know why but he remembered me sometimes .... he was like Woods, no Hudson, yes like Hudson. I never really liked Hudson but he was ok. So let´s see what our new friends are and how good they are.

Chapter 7: The first mission
It was dark and cold. The rain pelted on my body. The cold wind was like a ghost. The forest around us was like ... it felt like the trees are watching us. We walked for hours and finally after hours of walking through the rain we reached our target. It was a small station ... looking like a small castle or whatever it should be and our mission was to found out what we could find there and what it had to do with the information what the pony gave me. We lay in the grass hiding for our enemies.
"Ok Mason, we found what we looked for."
"What do you mean Night Light?"
"Do you see it? There are ... no wait, something is wrong!"
"What do you mean? These ponies are at work."
"But there are to many of them ... like they got warned for something."
"You call this weird? Me and Woods broke in a Russian development centre for bio weapons, there were hundreds of Russians with tanks and helicopters and jets that was hard but this..."
"You cant compare your wars with ours."
"That's true ... hey do see this? There are only pegasuses with ..."
"Of course that's the shadow Bolts."
"No I mean ... some parts of their body are not ... human ... I mean pony or whatever ... it looks weird." I saw some ponies which have ... metallic implants.
"What the hell? Mason you are right? What the fuck is going on?"
"The only thing holding us back, is how far we willing to go..."
"Alex? Hey? Did you understand me?" asked Night Light.
"What? Yes they gone to far."
"What? What are you talking about?"
"What did you say? I didn't catch that."
"I said that's really weird and my question is how did they do that?"
"I don't know dude, I believe our job is it to find it out now."
"True lets go."
"Hey hey wait, do you really want to run into your dead?"
"Ok Alex what is your plan?"
"I have a night vision glass with me and I can see 3 on a tower. I shot them down with my sniper and after that we go forward."
"Can your weapon kill targets from this distance?"
"Yes of course!" I took my sniper put a silencer on it and focused it on the first target at the left side.
*PRGH*
"Target eliminated."
*PRGH*
"Number two down." this time the pony at the right side.
*PRGH*
"And the last one." in the mid.
"And they haven't heard it?"
"Not with a silencer my friend. Ok do you see the two Pegasus in front of us? You take the left one I take the right one, we doing this quiet and deadly, only knife ok."
"OK." he said and I moved forward. We went closer and closer to them. These stupid ponies haven't noticed us.
"OK NOW!" Night Light took the Pegasus and hit his head against a rock and that was all, I took the right one and hit his head against the ground took his head and pressed it on the pond in front of me, the pony fidgeted with his wings until it couldn't breath anymore, after that I took his head again and rammed my knife trough his neck and pushed him into the lake again. The blood mixed with the water. Night Light looked at me shook his head and said:
"Damn, what the hell ... what´s wrong with you?"
"What do you mean? We always doing this on earth!"
"You humans are so ... violent."
"However, do you see the two guys in front of us. That must be the front gate. If we inside ... we will be save for a moment. The same strategy again, lets hide us in the grass, we moved forward, very slow and quiet after that, I will kill the right one with my Sniper and you with your Crossbow ok?"
"OK." Said Night Light and followed me. We crouched through the grass, slow and quiet. I could heard my heart beating. It was so loud I always was afraid about if the enemy could possible hear that. Suddenly, two Pegasus flew over our heads. First, I was amazed about their speed.
*FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFSH*
"DAMN!"
"SSSSSSH!" I said. We crouched forward. Further and further suddenly ..
*DDF* A pony with his hove ... no that wasn't a hove that was ... a metallic hove a kind of ... prosthesis stood in front of me. How the fuck did they get stuff like this.
"Don't move!" I said to Night Light.
"_-|µµ. -=µ~|-/."
"What the hell are they talking about?" It was equestrian, I didn't understand even one word. The two Pegasus moved forward and left us.
"They talking about ... a new delivery ... of fillies ... they must ready for the first experiment. Shall we ..."
"NO, wait after they left our field of view." after that we crouched forward, we finally reached our target. But two unicorns which used their horn as a flash light came and research the whole area.
"God dammit, whatever there is in this castle, it must be really important for them."
"Never mind, I have seen enough shit in my life Night Light, there is nothing which can surprised me anymore." I believed that first but it should changed with the time. The unicorns left the area. The two Pegasus on the gate had some weapons, which I have never seen before. They looked like world war weapons but different. They wear them on their back.
"OK. Are your ready Night Light?"
"I am ready."
"OK lets kill them."
*PRGH* the right one felt and Night Light killed the left one.
"OK get out of the grass and hurry up. GO GO GO!"
We ran to the gate together and finally we were inside of the building.
"Good job Alex."
"Thanks bro but it isn't over ok!"
"Yes. Let´s see what they hiding for us." We went deeper and deeper into the building. We entered a room. It was full of blood and ... there were a lot of different parts of ... ponies ...
"GOD THAT SMELL!"
"What the fuck is going on here?"
"I don't know but its time to kick them their asses. AAAAAAAAARGH!"
"21 6 19 14 5 16 17 8 15 19 6 20 25 I ... remember ... VORKUTA!"
"SSSSSSH do you hear that. Hey Mason what's going on with you?"
"Nothing, are you ready?" I said and prepared a flash grenade. The pony opened the door. I caught it pushed it against the wall, took my knife cut it through his neck threw his dead body away threw the flash grenade into the room. After the Pegasus got flash I opened the fire.
"FIRE! KILL THEM ALL!" I said and I shot at everypony I saw. Night Light couldn't even shot one bullet and I already killed all 5 of them.
"By Celesita ... you killed them all."
"Let´s see what is behind this door." I kicked the door open and there sat a Pegasus with a doctor uniform.
"NO, please no, don't kill me ..." I caught him on his neck and pushed his head on the table.
"YOU, YOU TELL US EVERYTHING WHAT WE WANT TO KNOW OK! AND IF YOU TRY TO SHOUT FOR HELP I WILL KILL YOU!"
"Ok, ok, I tell you everything you want to know but please don't kill me. Wait ... I ... I know you!"
"Who me? I asked.
"Yes, you are the failure experiment. Alex Mason, the human which broke the brainwash. You are like a special talent."
"How can you know me. We came from different places so tell me everything or know or I will hurt you so much."
"OK, I am already a dead pony, I will tell you everything. First I don't know who is responsible for all of this. I am only a doctor, I am only responsible for the implants but I tell you what is going on here and what it has to do with you Alex Mason.
"NIGHTMARE MOON!?"
"No not her, I am really sure, 100% sure, she isn't it. I don't know who she is but she started to create their plans for Equestria. The problem was, she hadn't got an army. With the time she founded the Shadow Bolts a group of ponies which are against the Equestrian policy. The problem was, the Shadow Bolts alone wasn't enough to win a war against the princess. So she founded a portal to the Earth. That was perfect for her. She started to learn everything about you humans. After that she also found out that humans are "great" in creating mass destruction weapons. The problem was, she wasn't sure which superpower she should choose. Germany felt. America was to dangerous for her, a high risk so she choose Russia. Without their knowledge she brainwashed two Russians, ...
"Dragovich and Graf Chenko right?"
"Yes, exactly. Because she found out that these two guys are searching for a German mass destruction weapon."
"NOVA 6"
"Exactly Mason. She knew that these two guys are searching for Steiner, the German scientists which knows everything about atomic bombs and other bio weapons. After that, the Russians began to create their sleeper cells, you was one of them Mason. They get programmed to hear to the numbers, the brainwashing with the numbers is used to control them. The Russians also tested the NOVA 6 and it worked great for her. It was the best way to destroy the Princess with only one strike but there was one gap on this plan. And that was you Alex. Your friend Reznov, tried to brainwashing you too to get his revenge and to save you and America. Everything worked perfect for her because ... if the Russians started to attack the United States with a NOVA 6 strike ... the Unite States couldn't blend into her plans anymore and at the same time she could see the result of this ... terrible weapon. But then you came and everything was different. You didn't hear to the numbers, you wasn't like the other subjects you was different. You killed the scientist Steiner, you killed Dragovich and also your friend killed Graf Chenko and after that the USA destroyed the NOVA 6 plan from the Russians. So you destroyed her plans. You was a big danger for her. After that she had to search for new methods. And there was the connection to this guy called Menendez. The mission in Panama shouldn't ever execute she had a lot of sleeper cells in the pentagon which manipulate the missions. The only target of her was to feed Menendez hate against the Unite States, because your friend killed his sister. After that in Panama "Wrong Prophet" you god kidnap from Menendez, the only use of this mission was to kill you, because if you are dead you couldn't frustrate her plans anymore. But Woods haven't killed you and you survived. Now your military is working to unmanned the whole military. Menendez will use this "mistake" and one day he will get the control about your whole military. She knows that because, she learned everything about your humans. That plan is he will use your own weapons against your own countries so all superpowers on your world will fell at the same time to reach the ultimate chaos on Earth. Her sleeper cells bring technology stuff from Earth to Equestria to modernize her army, to make them stronger and more powerful. With her sleeper cells, she knows everything what your governments are doing. She is also planning to take the control of all over your aircrafts and air forces. With all the drones, jets, all the modified Wonder Bolts, all the Rebels which she is trying to get on her side, she will have the biggest, and most advanced army in history of Equestria and there will be no pony who can stop her ... not even the Changeling army. And the other reason why Menendez is under her control is ... to kill your son. So he cant be another problem for her. She know it Alex, she knows everything about you. She is inside you. The voices you hear, the phenomenon you see are created by her. You have to stop her!"
I was shocked. I couldn't believe what I heard from this ponies mouth. I was sure, this pony didn't lie.
"And how can we find her?"
"I don't know. I don't really know it. But there is one pony who know it ... exactly."
"WHO?" asked Night Light.
"The name of this pony is Woodentoaster, he is a Pegasus too. He knows the position of that pony. He knows everything about her plans, he is the leading head at all of this. If you able to catch him, you will get every answer you want. But be careful, that's one of the most dangerous ponies in Equestria. I also heard something about ... a rainbow factory. That must be the headquarter of the Wonder Bolts.
"I understood." I said.
"Spectra!"
"What?"
"I always hear that world Spectra. That must be ... a kind of miracle drug or something. I don't know exactly what it is but it seems it is really important for them. They spray it on the Shadow Bolts blood to make them stronger and faster.
"That's the reason why they are so fast, I knew it is impossible how fast they were."
"Hey, you thank you, you come with us, we need you ...." *PPPPPPPPPPPPPPSSSSSSSSZT*
"What the hell?" said Night Light. The doctor got killed by a shot right into his head.
"God dammit what the hell!"
"Shit there are more of them!"
*DRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRD*
"What the hell is going on now?" I asked. The shadow bolts get killed from someone else.
"THE WONDERBOLTS!" shouted Night Light.
"Are they good or evil?"
"Good you idiot come one." The wonder bolts aimed her guns to us.
"Hey, we are the good ones!" I said.
"AH, you must be the human from Earth right?" asked a female voice.
"Oh, hello Mrs."
"Call me Spitfire." said the yellow Pegasus in her uniform.
"Its a pleasure to meet you."
"Yea, yea I see you kicked these ponies their asses?"
"More or less."
"Ok never mind, let´s go, I am sure we have a lot to talk about. Princess Celestia send us to help you. I hope we didn't come to late."
"Nah, we had everything under control." I said.
"Of course you had."
Night Light was right next to me. He was wondered about why I said nothing, but I will explain him it later and I hope he will understand.

Prolog 2 - Call of Duty Black Ops II
This is the second Prolog, this time about Black Ops II. Now you know the whole story about the Black Ops Series.
Three decades later, in the year 2025, Menendez re-emerges as the leader of Cordis Die, a massive populist movement with over a billion followers. He stages a cyberattack that cripples the Chinese Stock Exchange; in response, the Chinese ban the export of rare earth elements, fermenting the start of a new Cold War between the Chinese-led Strategic Defense Coalition (SDC) and the U.S.-led NATO. Taking advantage of this stand-off, Menendez attempts to bring the two powers to a full-blown war by inciting conflicts between the two, secretly aiding SDC leader Chairman Tian Zhao, who worked with Mason and Woods during their operation in Afghanistan in 1986. Using the intelligence provided by Woods, David, now a Navy SEAL Commander code-named Section, leads JSOC forces in the renewed search for Menendez.
Shortly after gathering intelligence from Woods, Section and JSOC infiltrates Myanmar investigating a spike in activity in the region. There, Section's team encounters a computer engineer under Menendez's employment, warning them of a cyberattack with a Celerium device, a quantum computer capable of hacking any computer system. Section's team is later deployed in Pakistan, attempting to gather intelligence on Menendez's plots. During the infiltration, Menendez discloses the name of a target, "Karma" in the Cayman Islands. Section and SEAL operatives Harper and Salazar later infiltrate the Cayman Islands, finding out that "Karma" is a woman named Chloe Lynch, a former employee of Menendez's shell corporation, Tacitus. Lynch was the main developer of the Celerium device (rare Earth element), and as a means of wrapping up loose ends, Menendez had deployed mercenaries for her abduction.
19th June 2025, JSOC later has a lead on Menendez in Yemen, where JSOC asset Farid infiltrates Menendez's cell to help Section facilitate the leader's capture. Menendez, suspecting Farid's disloyalty, orders him to shoot the captured Harper. Farid chooses not to shoot Harper, and instead attempts to shoot Menendez, he fails, but Harper survives and is rescued. Menendez is successfully captured, but this was a ruse for Menendez to hack into the U.S. military's computer infrastructure on the aircraft carrier the U.S.S. Obama, seizing control the entire U.S. drone fleet. Salazar is revealed to be Menendez's mole within JSOC, and facilitates Menendez's attack—Menendez escapes with Salazar's aid, and when Menendez breaks in to the bridge of the Obama, Salazar shoots the soldiers guarding Admiral Briggs, with Lynch's survival dependent on Farid's survival in the previous mission. Menendez, has the choice of either killing or wounding Admiral Briggs. He wounded Briggs, and now JSOC and SDC enter an alliance, then is later informed that the SDC sent hundreds of drones to defend the Obama and the Unite States, and consequently Briggs was able to save the ship and its crew. Menendez uses the drones to stage an attack around the world and on Los Angeles during a meeting of G20 leaders, hoping to kill them and cause catastrophic damage to the global economy. Section escorts U.S. President Bosworth to safety amidst the drone attacks. JSOC finds the source of the transmissions responsible for the hacking to Haiti, where Section leads JSOC forces into recapturing the facility in the final mission, and apprehending or killing Menendez and to take the war an end.

Chapter 8: We are all brothers
Chapter 8: We are all brothers
The mission was a success. Now, I know everything what I want to know. Night Light hasn't change one word with me since after finishing the mission. I didn't know what was going on with him. He was like ... it seems like he was worried about me ... again. Earlier we were happy if we still could talk with our brothers, not everyone had the luck to survive the war. We were happy, we were lucky because we could do the next step.
"Why you so mad? We won, I mean we found our answers."
"Why haven't you tell Spitfire about what we found out?"
"I already told you that, because if I tell them what´s going on there, first they wouldn't believe me, second they would attack this Factory uncontrollable."
"Aha? And you think you can do it better?"
"I haven't said that."
"But you believe it."
"NO!"
"What´s the reason?"
"I WANT TO LOOK IN THIS PERSONS EYE WHO IS REALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THIS SHIT WHAT IS GOING ON HERE AND ON EARTH! Did you not listen what this doctor said? They are doing maybe the same think with your folk, they are controlling your government, my government, they are everywhere who knows what they doing next. If the Wonderbolts are going to attack them, this Woodentoaster or however he is will leave this place like a pussy and that means we cant catch him and that means again NO ANSWERS!"
"They are the Wonderbolts of course they can catch him."
"Are you stupid or something like that? What have you done on the mission? Sleeping? Did you see how much they are. Haven´t you listen to the pony? They have thousands or maybe millions of followers and their army is still raising..."
"YES BUT WE COULD STOP IT RIGHT NOW!"
"Do you really think it will be simple to catch this guy? Have you see what they did with their "soldiers"? They transformed them. They changed body parts of them to make them stronger and more intelligent. They are using a kind of "drug" to make them more powerful with the name Spectra and I want to know what Spectra is."
"And what is your plan?"
"I am going to the princess, and I will tell her what happened. And if you haven't catch it, our both worlds are in big danger. Your country will be overrun, on my world there will begin a big war they want to kill all G leaders to cause the chaos." I said and went to my room leaving Night Light alone in his living room.
I was sitting on my bed I started to read everything about Cloudstale. There was something about a "Rainbow Factory" but there were only noted things like how they create the rainbows and stuff like that but I haven't found anything about Spectra ... or did I? I saw a number in front of my face 328. I opened the page and I found out something really interesting. It seems that the numbers are "knowing" what I am thinking about... I opened the site of this book and what I read was more than scary ...
There’s long been rumors as to how exactly rainbows are made in Equestria. While a great amount of Pegasi ponies are employed in the Rainbow department of the weather factory, almost all of them do the low-end work. What’s known is that great streams of Spectra, the individual colors of the rainbow, flow through large grates and into vast vats. From there, workers carefully and equally mix the spectra into the coagulated rainbow pools that dot and run through the factory and surrounding city.
Next, that mixture is pumped to the floor below, where other employees atomize it and store it until the active weather Pegasi deploy it in field.
However, no one knows how individual Spectra is made. Supplies are never seen being brought in, leaving not even a clue what goes into a rainbow. Tourists, when visiting the factory, are treated to an extremely foreboding and plain wall, with massive solid doors baring entry to anypony at any time. While most of the facilities various signs and architecture is bubbly and welcoming, the Rainbow Factory’s upper floor was protected by harsh imagery of potential hazards and death, and the cloud wall was made not out of the clean white of the rest of the city, but of a black, quietly thundering fog.
To become an employee of the upper Rainbow Factory meant sacrificing any life outside those black walls. Workers are sworn to secrecy and forbidden from leaving, and live inside the facility itself. Those few who ever managed to make it out not in a body bag were twisted and disturbed, too damaged to ever bring themselves to talk about it. A lot of theories were proposed; Dark magic from captured unicorns, chemicals and environmental hazards that no sane pony would tolerate, and even thoughts of another unknown sister of Celestia’s, destined to create the Spectra instead of raising the Sun or the Moon. None of them could be farther than the truth.
It reads like a creepypasta. But it hasn't gave me the answer what I was searching for.
*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK* The door opened. It was Twilight Velvet.
"Oh sorry, I haven't known that you in your room."
"That's ok? What do you need?"
"Nothing, I just only wanted to know ... ou ... uuuuh, he or she is moving again."
"HE or SHE? AH! My congratulations."
"Thank you Mason."
"Will it be a mare or a colt?"
"I don't know ... but if it will be mare her name should be ... Twilight Sparkle."
"Nice. Ah and Velvet."
"Yes?"
"Your friend Night Light, he is a good pony. He is a good soldier."
"Thanks, and yes I know, he is very sweet and yes I am very proud of him. You two are good friends aren't you?"
"Yes ... we are."
"Good Night Alex."
"Good night Velvet." I said and she left the room. It don't need long and I started to sleep too.
Call of Duty Black Ops - Ember
The Bird has a meaning!
It was dark and late here in Equestria. After all that fucking shit with the numbers and mind controlling and mindfucking and whatever is going on here I needed some space. I worked for the Equestrian government now. On my free time I mostly killed people on a bar or on a hotel or played a sniper on a roof. And if I worked I killed the bad guys on the battlefield. I still ask myself if this has all something to do with the brainwashing or if its really real here. One part of me hoped it wont but the other part of me wanted it to be real. I mean if I really go back one day, how shall I explain my time where I disappeared? I mean how shall I explain that my son. "Hey David, sorry if I was gone but I was on a world full of collared speaking ponies which are able to use magic and they had a secret organisation which are controlling the pentagon too." Not even a guy on drugs would believe this shit but whatever I mean I am Alex Mason I got brainwashed, I see numbers in front of me, I can hear voices, I thought for 5 years that Victor Reznov is still with me and the truth is, he wasn't. Interesting live story. I don't even care, I gave a fuck, I mean I am fucking on a planet with fucking ponies and my son is in the hands of a crazy terrorist who tries to create the greatest collapse on earth. A lot of time has gone and I didn't came forward. I couldn't find this Woodentoaster or Glaze or however his name was. I entered a bar. The ponies looked like ... I don't care. I give a fuck what these fucking creatures think about me. And if someone or better somepony has a problem with me he can taste one of my bullets and yes I am really pissed right now. No the truth was, I was sad. Sad about that I failed again. Hudson was right. Maybe I am to old for the army. I am not really that old but ... I don't know. Right in front of me there stood a pony who cleaned one of the glass.
"Something strong please."
"Uh ok sir." said the pony.
"Hey Mason."
"HUDSON? HOW? ... HOW DID YOU GET HERE? YOU SURIVED?"
32 65 97 5 7 6 32 54 68 64 78 19 6 20 25
"Sir ehm ... what is going on with this creature?" said a pony next to him believing it was Hudson.
"Hudson, is David all right?"
32 65 97 5 7 6 32 54 68 64 78 19 6 20 25
"Can somepony explain me what the hell is going on with the human?"
"Hudson? ... AAAARGh Damn I only hear these fucking numbers! God these headaches." I opened my eyes again and I saw a earth pony sitting in front of me.
"Sorry, I thought ... I am ..."
"I think you shouldn't drink something sir." said the barkeeper.
"Give me something. I will pay for this."
"No sir, you need an doctor no alcohol."
I hit with my fist on the table and said: "If you don't give me something I´ll .... GOOOOOOOD!" I went outside. I stood on a river. I saw myself in the water and suddenly I heard a noise again. Not the numbers but this time a voice.
"Alex."
"Who is there?" I asked.
"It´s me. Your best friend."
"I can´t remember that I ever had one."
"I know everything what you doing. I know your next move. Your next step to catch me. I know everything about your past, the present and your future. I know what will happen to you and to your cute son David. I love this boy, if he were here I would cuddle him and after that I would rope out every single bone of his body."
"You are crazy. My son would kick your fucking ugly ass. Come on if you really that strong and powerful show me. Show me who you really are you fucking lazy scared piece of shit of a pony."
"I am here Alex, right now. I can see you from the position I am right now. We already met us this evening and you ignored me. That's a shame. You are SOG and a CIA agent and you missed your target. What a shame. I am watching your right now. But you cant see me."
"Oh you are hiding like a pussy?"
"I know what will happen to your world! You want to know why everything is going worse and worse? Because I control the future. I can control everything. The future here and the future on your home world. I know what will happen next. I can see your cities burning. The wars will be escalated. I will release things like Discord, Nightmare Moon and so one and so one again. Equestria will fall in the darkness again, your race will die. We, the ponies are already existed long before your primitive race called human crawled out of the mud. You cant ignore me forever Alex. I am a part of you now. I control you, your son, and everyone here in Equestria and on Earth. Your wife died after David was born. The doctors never found the reason for her dead and do you know why?"
"... NO YOU HAVEN´T!"
"Yes it was me. Because I tried to kill your wife before she could born your son."
"YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!"
"Are you mad Alex? HAHAHHAHAHA!"
"No I don't understand you."
"Why?"
"You are laughing about yourself. Ok that's understandable. But I don't know why you so proud of yourself."
"What do you mean?"
"If you really that strong, I ask myself, why didn't you avoid David´s birth, why have you failed to manipulate Woods to kill me. You controlled Menendez and Hudson to manipulate Woods to kill me but he hasn't done it. You couldn't stop me, to stop NOVA 6 and you couldn't stop me to kill Dragovich, Grafchenko and Steiner. Your project to destroy the Unite States failed. To stop me, failed. To save Dragovich and Steiner, failed. To kill my son, failed. You failed all the time. You reached nothing and now, I will find you and I will kick your ass to this stupid damn place where you come from."
"You won the war against your enemies. You fought against other humans, but you cant win a fight against an Alicorn."
"Somepony told me that you are an Unicorn?"
"He is wrong...."
"Hello Sir." said a very beautiful female voice.
"Huh? What? Ouh ehm hello? Do I know you?" I asked. In front of me there stood a dam colored ... Alicorn with a red mane and a hart with fire as her cutie mark. OK I didn't expect that.
"Hello, who are you?" I asked.
"I am Akira and you must be the human being right?" she asked blinking with her eyes.
"Yes, that's true? Can I help you because I have to work..." she interrupt me.
"Oh I thought maybe ... you and me want to go to drink something?"
"OK? And why? Because of reasons?"
"Hihihi of course no, I spectating you a long time and I heard that you are a soldier too. I love strong and brave colts." she said with her seductive voice.
"OK? But why is an Alicorn or a princess like you on a party like this I mean..."
"I am not a princess. Yes I am an Alicorn but that's all. Come on please I want to know more about you please please please." she said behind her there stood 3 other ponies an earth pony an unicorn and a Pegasus giggling.
"OK NEVER MIND HOWEVER!"
"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!" suddenly her horn started to glow and suddenly we sat on a bar.
"WHAT ... THE ... FUCK ... HAPPENED ... TO ... ME?"
"I teleported us?"
"AHA? Cool, really, we shouldn't to this more often."
"Oh I like it."
"Cool, I don't like it."
"OK Alex Mason, tell me more about you. How are you? Have you any friends here? Do you have friends on earth? Are you in danger sometimes? Do you have a marefriend? Why are you here? How did you get here?"
This damn mare sounded like Hudson as he asked me for the meaning of the numbers. OVER HOURS!
"Sorry, but I am not the guy who like it to talk about his past."
"Please come on, I will tell you everything about me."
"OK never mind. Ok I am Alex Mason, hehehe what a surprise. I come from the planet Earth and lived in Alaska. My wife died for over 10 years ago. I have a boy, my son David Mason. I am really proud of him. And your question how I get here, I don't know it. The last thing what I can remember is that a guy called Menendez hit my head with something after that, my best friend Woods shot me in my leg because he thought I am Menendez. But thank goodness he shot like shit and missed. He thinks I am dead but I am not and now I sit here and try to find a way back home ... before it is going worse."
"Oh, I haven't known that it is that bad."
"What is your story?" I asked.
"Oh ok first I am Akira and I live in Canterlot. The most time I spend in Ponyville because all these ... ponies in Canterlot ... nah I don't know they are weird and as you can see I am an Alicorn."
"OH nice ok, and which meaning has your cutie mark?"
"Oh ehm ... yes ... this one ... ehm .... yes it is a bit complicated ehm ... yes eeeeeeh...."
"Come on I told you everything about me too."
"Ok Alex, the truth is ehm .... I .... I like it to ... flirt with other colts and no that doesn't mean I like it to play with their feelings but ... I don't know I love the near, the warm feeling, if you have a partner, that's something beautiful."
"I know what you mean Akira. By the way, Akira ... that's a very beautiful name."
"Yes really? You like it?"
"Yes, that's much better than Alex."
"No, I like that name."
"Thanks."
"So ... where do you life?"
"I live at Night Lights and Velvets house."
"Oh ... they are a couple right?"
"Yes, that's true. She is pregnant."
"Oh? OK? Hope you haven't heart it."
"Heard what?"
"How they ... made it heheheh."
"Oh my god."
"Hey, do you want to visit me?"
"When?"
"Right now?"
"WHAT? NO?"
"Why not, come on please. You denied an invitation of a princess?"
"I thought you are not a princess?"
"Damn you got me. Come on please, I don't have much visit."
"Ok never mind."
"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! I only say my girls good bye than I am coming." After that we were on the way to her house. I had to agree I was exited to see what awaits me there but she was fine.
Call of Duty Black Ops - Ember
Chapter 10: Tell me your secrets
I walked with Akira through this dark and cold night. It was interesting to see, how cold are their nights here although it is summer. I still don't know who she is or what she wants, because it seemed she appeared from no where. She greeted me and she seems to be friendly but with the time you know that you can´t trust people ... or ponies. We reached her house. I awaited a villa or something similar, but for an alicorn she lives really ... like a normal pony. It looked exactly the same like every other building here in Equestria.
"Ok, here we are. That's my house. I hope you´ll like it." she said and she didn't open it with a key or something else, it seems that she had a kind of board with different signs, maybe numbers and her horn started to glow red and she pushed them with their magic down, I am sure it was like a code. Of course she is an Alicorn a very rare race here in Equestria so it is clear that she has a kind of security system. And it was a number code because suddenly these symbols changed into numbers from 0 - 9 and her code was 24683. I shook my head, Akira noted this of course.
"Is everything all right? Don't worry, I´ll make you a tea and after that you´ll be fine again." she said friendly. I wasn't sure, if I could trust her or not. First she seems really friendly but why did she had so much interest in me. Was it really only because I am an Alien from another world or did she know more as it seems first. I mean everything could happen, she could put some toxin in the tea too.
She finally opened the door and we entered her house. Inside it looks similar to all the other buildings like from outside. Of course there were a lot of books. I guess books of magic or whatever. But it was warm, clean and very comfortable. Maybe she wasn't a princess but she also had this ... little thing like ... deep inside her she wanted to have something special.
"I am back soon, you can sit down on my couch, I will make us some tea." she said with her seductive voice. I looked around and note a lot of pictures of her and her friends. It seems she was a happy Alicorn. There was a document about their school, that means she was on a normal school like every other pony. I also ask me all the time if this was real or maybe a hallucination. After 5 minutes she came back and sat down too. Very close to me. She also put down the tea. I took a pillow and let it fall.
"Oh, sorry, my mistake." I said.
"It´s ok, no problem." While she picked it up, I changed the glasses. I know it sounded stupid but ... after years you learn to be careful, I mean after fighting together with the soldiers in Afghanistan against the Russian the Afghanistan soldiers betray us and knocked us down and threw us into the hot dry desert.
"Don't be so shy, tell me something about you, please." she said and crossed over her legs and support oneself on her hove.
"I already did?" I said.
"Yes, about your family, but I don't know anything about you?" she said. It was a bit uncomfortable how close she was to me but ok never mind.
"Better, you don't know everything about me."
"Why? Don't you trust me?" she asked.
"With the time you are careful, who you can trust and who not."
"And that's why you changed the glasses right?"
"Huh? No? How...?"
"I am not stupid Alex. I am an Alicorn, do you really think I don't know what is going on behind me?"
"Yes, but only because of ..."
"I don't wont to hurt you. I already told you that I can be very ... direct and ... maybe I overrun you. I agree, I did. But what happened to you that you don't trust me? Is it because I am not looking good enough? I am ugly? I am to fat? Is my mane not correct? Or is it my person?"
"No, it´s ... see I am a soldier, I worked with a lot of people, and I saw a lot of very bad things, and if you think you can trust someone, if you really think, yes I can totally trust this person, and suddenly ... you note ... he was your biggest enemy. Its ... our government, there are so many mysteries about them, all the people said, that's garbage or that cant be true and you think that too, I mean you are a soldier you don't believe in ghost stories and suddenly you see, hey these freaking bastards with their club were all the time right. It is hard to understand, because to understand a human ... is impossible because we are not like you that everyone has his special talent. We are complicated, different, everyone has his good and his bad side, everyone has something which make him special but not on things like that he is really the only one who can paint or whatever. We humans we ... are so different and at the same time we are all the same."
"Oh, I understand. But I think you are a good person."
"I hope so?"
"Sure." she said and I smiled.
"How do you make love?"
"Ehm ..WHAT?"
"How do you humans make love?" Is this pony fucking kidding me? Is this their only problem she has? I told her so much and she only wants to know how humans make love?"
"I mean is it complicated too?"
"Oh this ... of course. Yes. Sometimes, you don't understand it."
"Same like here. Damn no magic can help to understand this."
"But love is something which can block you. Stop you to think clear about things. It is controlling you. It changes you. It makes you different. Never mind how much bullshit your girlfriend is doing, you apologise her. Love makes you blind."
"Sometimes yes. But it gave you warmness."
"But it can hurt so much sometimes."
"Oh ... sorry, I forgot ..."
"It is ok. My wife died but it worth it."
"HUH? What do you mean?"
"She had the decision between herself or David. She decided for David, my son."
"I am so sorry to hear that."
"Its gone."
"Are you lucky again?"
"Not really. I miss my son so much."
"I understand. What happened?" I told her the whole story. What happened from the first day in Vietnam until the day where Woods shot me in the leg. I could see a tear in her eye. I also told her what I have seen here in Equestria and everything what happned to me and what is actually happening to me.
"You are ... really suffering. You need help."
"I know, but there is no one who can actually help me. Celestia failed."
"She didn't."
"But as you said, I am still suffering under the numbers."
"I will help you!"
"How? Not even Celestia could help me."
"Let me try it."
"OK ... never mind."
"First lay down."
"OK." It looks complete weird. I had no idea what she wanted to do but if it helps, why not. She took her hooves and pressed them against my head.
"Is it to hard or ok?"
"Perfect."
"OK. Alex. I know this will hurt but .."
"You said it wont hurt."
"Physical not but mentally."
"Never mind, if it helps." I said.
"Close your eyes." She said, before I close them, she closed hers too and her horn glowed red. Suddenly I saw hundreds of numbers rushing through my head. I saw pictures of Woods, David, Hudson, River, and a lot of more.
"Hey Mason..."
"Alex, good to see you."
"Hudson, CIA Agent, nice to meet you Sir." I saw Hudson in Vietnam.
"The communists are a big danger for us Mr Mason, finish it." the meeting with Kennedy.
"Graf Chenko, Steiner, Dragovich, they all must die!" said Reznov.
"MENENDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ!" shouted Woods.
"Woods no." I saw the grenade exploding which killed Menendez sister.
"I AM VICTOR REZNOV AND I AM GOING TO HAVE MY REVENGE!" I shouted and killed Steiner believing I was Reznov.
"Dad, I am scared, please help me." I saw David climbing on a tree before the Military ordered me back to save Woods.
"Your life will be consumed by absolute loss!" said Menendez to my son.
"He doesn't need his own weapons, he´s got ours."
"CORDIS DIE!" shouted Menendez. I suddenly heard the numbers again. But some of them louder than the other ones. 14 4 8 6 19 6 20 25
19
"CORDIS DIE!!!!" I heard Menendez again and I saw Los Angeles, in the future. The sky was full of ... drones. Hundreds of them, thousands but not only in L.A. in other cities around the world too. I could hear the pony again which I caught with Night Light. I saw Equestria burning. Their sky was also full of ... pegasuses too. I saw my world and Equestria burning, screams, fear, darkness.
19 6 20 25 ... Cordis die.
19062025
19th June 2025. THE DRONE STRIKE!
I suddenly woke up again. And I took a deep breath. Akira still sat on my hip. She was shock too.
"Akira? Are you ok?"
"Yes, ... I only have seen everything what you have seen too."
"Oh ... don't worry, I will stop it before it will happen."
"Is this the end?" she asked scared.
"NO IT ISNT BECAUSE I WILL STOP IT BEFORE IT IS GOING EVEN WORSE!" She hasn't said anything else. I was sure she didn't understand what all that means. She only got closer to me and said.
"HOLD ME!" and I hold her. I know she was scared.
"Don't worry, I promise you, I will stop it!"
"I know." she said. I took her and carry her up to her bedroom. She had a shock. A really bad one. I had to agree to myself. Me too. But without her, I think I had never understand what the numbers mean. Now I know it. It was a date and the rest of them were coordinates. I sat a while on her bed and stroke her mane until she fell asleep but I also fell asleep too.

Chapter 11: Misunderstanding
The next day. I woke up. I robbed my eyes and note where I was. I was still in Akira´s house. As I wanted to stand up, I noted something next to me, something soft. I turned my head and I saw Akira smiling with her wide beautiful blue eyes. What the hell happened? OK I remember she was shocked about what she had seen and after that I carried her up to her bedroom and waited until she felt asleep. I must felt asleep too.
"Good morning, little soldier." she said and smiling.
"Ehm ... yes ... good morning Akira." God Jesus Christ that was very uncomfortable with me. I mean if I tell Woods that I slept with a pony he will thinks that I got brainwashed again.
"Thanks again, that you slept with me."
"Ehm ... I slept with you in one bed yes but we didn't sleep like ... you know ... nah ... we didn't, did we?"
She only giggled. "Of course, no. Calm down. But it was good."
"What was good?"
"That you stayed. That you haven't leave me alone."
"I guess the only one who really needed some...eh ... somepony was me."
"True again, let´s say we needed us each other."
"NO, Akira, you don't know how much you helped me. I know now what will happen to Equestria and to my world. Without you I ... I don't know what I should to right now. Thank you so much again." I said and gave her an huge. I saw how she blushed. I don't know if it was uncomfortable for her or not. But never mind how nice that moment was, there came the bad memories again. The drone strike. The whole military as I know it ... gone ... replaced by drones, whole unarmed armies. I heard about this suggestion, it should avoid useless deaths but now I know it will bring more death as everything else. But I still didn't now what will happen to Equestria.
"Hey, Alex, thank you. I am glad that ... I could help you."
"NO, you don't understand, without you ... you reached something that not even the princess reached. You solved it! You have no idea how much you helped me."
Akiras face seemed to explode: "Ah ... ok ... I ... I only looked inside your memories, but it was a mess ... and ..."
"But how did you do that, how have you broke this "Barrier" not even Celestia could do it."
"The numbers are like an ... algorithms ... but I have to say ... I controlled you that moment ... so without that I couldn't break this wall. Hope you forgive me."
"Of course you know without you ..."
"Yes, yes, never mind, it was my pleasure to help you. So what is your next step?"
"Going to Night Light, telling him what I found out."
"So you gonna to leave me now?"
"You can come with me if you want."
"R ... really ... you allow me to come with you? But I wont to interrupt you with ... anything else."
"Nah, come on you helped me, so if you want you can come with me."
"OH CELESTIA YES ... I mean ... thank you ... wait I search something to dress."
"Hey, we are soldiers, no one interest how you look like."
"Really but ... I look like..."
"Nah, you looks great, you had to seen Woods after Vietnam, he looked like shit."
"OK... you are a funny guy. I like that." she said still blushed.
"Is everything fine? You are red all the time. Do you have fever? A cold?"
"No no, I am ok? God ... I am red? No ... I am ok. Happens sometimes."
"OK never mind. I am waiting outside."
Later: We finally reached Night Lights and Velvets house. I heard that they had an argument. I don't know what it was about but maybe I should knocked on the door. It don't need much time and Night Light opened the door.
"Oh ... you? I thought you killing yourself."
"No, I am still alive."
"Come inside." he said but not very friendly. Velvet was in the living room with tears in her eyes.
"What is going on? Did I miss something?"
"Yes, you did, come on Night Light tell him what you wanted to do! TELL HIM!"
"NO I WONT! Because ... SINCE YOU ARE HERE I HAVE ONLY PROBLEMS WITH MY MAREFRIEND! YOU ARE DESTROYING MY REALITIONSHIP!"
"What? I destroy your relationship? OK tell me why?"
"Since you are here ... everything goes from bad to worse! You made only problems, you are a psychopath, how you killed these ponies ... you are SICK!"
"I AM SICK? I AM TRYING TO HELP YOU AND THIS IS YOUR THANK YOU?"
"Better you leave Equestria!"
"Is that your plan Night Light? He needs our help!" said Velvet.
"But he ... he ... god dammit."
"YOU NEED ME AND I NEED YOU! WE NEED US EACH OTHER!"
"OK AND HOW DO I NEED YOU?"
"To stop the end of your country."
"There is no fucking danger for us! You have hallucinations!"
"Hallucinations? DID YOU NOT LISTEN TO THE PONY! The shadowbolts or whoever are these things are trying to conquer Equestria! I am under the control of one of these ponies. My world is going down! LAST NIGHT I HAVE SEEN PICTURES OF MY FUTURE AND ...!
"Yes yours but not ours!"
"YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I SUFFERED IN THE LAST YEARS! YOU HAVE NO CLUE! YOUR WORLD IS EXACTLY THE OPPSITE OF MINE! HAVE YOU EVER VISIT THE EARTH NO? SO SHUT THE FUCK UP IF YOU HAVE NO IDEA!" Suddenly Night Light took a knife and tried to attack me. I reacted immediately and pushed his forehoove against the table and pressed so hard against it until he loose the control of it and the knife fell. Velvet only cries.
"STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!" said another female voice.
"P ... princess ..." stammered Night Light.
"Yes, it´s me. Akira and I know what is going on! He isn't a psychopath. He is right. With everything. I have seen what he has seen. So stop fighting each other. You are partners, you worked together. Man save your energy against our enemies. YOU BOTH!"
We both calmed down.
"Sorry, Alex."
"It´s ok, I know how that feel. I know what ... what it means if everything is going from bad to ... SHIT!"
"Alex, please go into your room, I have to clarify something."
"It´s ok."
"Can I come with you?" asked Akira.
"Yes, why not?" I said. Velvet as Night Light looked surprised about my reaction.
On my room:
I threw my things into the corner and threw myself into my bed. I was tried, powerless, I felt useless, I felt like ... I wanted to do something but I couldn't.
"Alex, are you ok? Sorry if I make so much problems..."
"Nah its not you Akira. I am glad to have found you, without you I really had think about to kill myself." I still heard Night Light and Velvet discussing about me and her upcoming baby.
"Maybe it is better if I leave Equestria. I don't want that their relationship breaks."
"No, it isn't your fault, without you ... we never know something about these Shadow Bolts. You are a good human. I know that. Maybe you have your dark side and maybe you humans can be sometimes really evil and awful but maybe it is what you makes a human."
"But our humanity is the way to our destruction too. All the years as an SOG, Black Ops Soldier and CIA agent, I never had so less ideas how I can defeat my enemy."
"Hey, think about nice stuff, like ... your son David." but that helped much, always I thought about him, I wanted to start to cry. I haven't even know, if he is still alive or not. Akira note my tears.
"Hey, you haven't to ashamed about this. To cry can sometimes help. You know, earlier, there was a colt, I dreamed about him all day, I wanted him so much and a week later I saw that he already had a marefriend. I cried much but after that I collected new courage to look forward."
"The different is, you are the princess, of love, and feelings, you know how to handle on situations like this but not me."
"But I had to learned it first too." I looked outside the window. It was still cold and rainy.
"Hey, Akira."
"Yes?"
"Come."
"What?"
"Come to me."
"You mean I should join you..."
"I thought you don't have problems to handle with boys and all that stuff."
"OF COURSE NOT, I AM NOT SHY!" but at this moment she was I could saw it on her face. She came to me on my bed. I sat with my back against the wall and she sat next to me. Really close.
"Its ok ... if you want you can cuddle your head against mine."
"I ... you? ... but ... are you sure?"
"Come on." I said and she did it of course. I was sure she want it and of course she liked it.
"Do you feel better now?" I asked.
"Of course ... you too?"
"Yes."
"Why you doing this?"
"I guess you like it. And you wanted to do it last evening too."
"NO!"
"YES!"
"NO; NO NO NO!"
"Why you blushing again?"
"HRRRRRRR .... ah ok ... yes but only because ..."
"Because of reasons."
"YEP!" I took a book in my hand and Akira ... how she was ... asked me of course what it was.
"What is this."
"A book."
"OH ... my ... god, very funny. Dumbass."
"HAHAHAH WHAT."
"Man ... you are stupid sometimes. I see you want to play the hard soldier, but in real you have a very very soft heart."
"Maybe." I said.
"Tell me what is it about."
"It´s a book ..."
"HRRRRRRR ... I am gonna to kill you Alex!"
"OK it´s a book about "The First 365 days of David Mason."
"Oh, nice about your son? But why 365 days?"
"A year on Earth has 365 days."
"Oh, I understood. Oh .. is he it. He looks so cute."
"Yes, he is everything for me."
And I show her every single picture of David and me. It feels so good to tell about him. God I was so proud of him.
"Do you see this pretty guy there? That's me. And the ugly bastardy there is my friend SGT. Frank Woods."
"HAHAHAHAHAHHHAA OH MAN YOU ALWAYS JOKING ABOUT HIM...."
"Yes, because he is shooting like ... shit."
"You don't like him?"
"Of course, he is the best partner you can have but we always doing this."
"Hhhmmm...David is really cute. How old is he right now?"
"7 and how old are you?"
"Oh me? I am 25. I know I look a bit younger but ..."
"It´s ok. Only a bit to old for him."
"HA HA HA Very funny Alex."
"Why you said he is cute."
"Yes but I meant .... oh you know ... you are really stupid sometimes."
"UUUUH we are bitch today?"
"Bitchy? You have never seen me "Bitchy"
"Bla bla bla uuuuuuh." and I tickled her.
"Hmmmm ... stop this."
"Why? Are you ticklish? Are you?"
"No?"
"And why you don't like it then?"
"Because ... hey ... aaaaaah no .... hey that's not funny. You ... Ok I have enough ... PAYBACK!" and her horn glowed. I noted I couldn't move. She had a very very evil smile on her face and I know what´s coming.
"You little poor thing ..." she said and started to tickle me as much as possible. I only screamed. I hoped all the time that Night Light wont hear it because before he thinks I am going to kill somepony.
After that she released me and we both calmed down.
"As I said, don't mess with an Alicorn."
"I wont, I promise. But hey, it was funny."
"Yes, it brought us to other thoughts."
"Oh yes. I agree." I said.
*YAAAAAAAAAAAAAWN* I am so tiered. Maybe I have a nap. Hey wake me up if something special will happen."
"I will don't worry Alex." and I felt asleep. I don't know why but it seems that Akira didn't want to leave me alone. Maybe I was her new best friend.
If you don't understand what is going on with Alex, and why I call him every time a psychopath here is the reason for it.

Chapter 12: I HATE CLOUDS!
Chapter 12: I HATE CLOUDS!
*YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWN*
"Damn how late is it? Oh ... it is already ... morning again?" I saw as I looked at my clock. Damn, how long did I sleep. I tried to don't wake up Akira but ... she is gone. She wasn't in my room anymore. Maybe she is already awake. But I couldn't find any things about her, no pyjama, or a slip or whatever are they wearing if they sleeping. Nothing. Maybe she already packed her things together. I made the same things like everyday. Took a shower, brushed my teeth and put on my clothes. After I was finished in the bath I heard the ponies talking. I slit slowly to the stairs until I could see Velvet, Night Light and Akira. They talked about me.
"Akira, it is nice to see how much you trust him but he is a ticking time bomb, you know if he has his moments, if he see these pictures or the numbers then he is ... unpredictable.
###############################################################################################
"His responses to our orders has been - sporadic. Unpredictable. He shows a remarkable resilience."
"ARGH!" The headache was back. The pictures ... how I get programmed to understand the numbers.
"YES! But he is my friend! I trust him. You already fought with him. You should trust him. He has it under control. We have to help him!"
"HOW! AKIRA HOW?" WE TRIED EVERYTHING!"
"No all what we have to do is to finish the mission!"
"WE? You mean you and this freak?"
"HE IS NOT A FREAK!"
"Nigh Light please stop saying this." said Velvet.
"Oh why do you defend him this much? Akira? Tell me why? You have a crush right?"
"A .. what? A crush? NO? He ... he is an alien. A human yes but he is ... from another planet so NO!"
"uh uh uh uh uh ... that's why I am stammering." joked Night Light.
"SHUT UP ASSHOLE. I ask myself how Velvet can life with a colt like you."
"Be careful what are you saying, princess. Oh wait no, you are not even a princess, you are only a poor alicorn who jokes about every colt so that's the reason why you like Alex. Every colt sees you as a whore, A BITCH, so now you accepted that you have no chance on colts now you are trying it at him."
"You are ... that's ... not true."
"NO? Its not? Hm why do you have a heart with fire as a cutie mark. Oh of course because you know everything about love. Hm if you really know everything about it you wouldn't run to every pony to satisfy yourself."
"THATS ENOUGH NIGHT LIGHT!"
"Alex?"
"Don't worry Akira, I am here now. I heard everything."
"Oh Akira your lover is here."
"Night Light, I am very disappointed in you. We are partners. NO WE ARE BROTHERS! We fought against the Shadow Bolts, we are still trying to save Euqstria. You know, if it has nothing to do with my world I had already leave you but I cant. What is that paper there?"
"Its a letter from the princess, we have to visit Cloudstale, the home of every Pegasus. We have to visit the Wonderbolts. Spit Fire, the leader of them want to talk with you Alex."
"But how? I am a human I cant walk on clouds."
"I can help you. I have a spell where creatures who cant walk on clouds are able to walk on clouds for the next 26 hours."
"26?"
"You are not on Earth?"
"Oh yes, you are right."
"Oh look now your better half is going to help you, that's cute." said Night Light. At the same moment as he said it, a lot of numbers appeared in front of my face. I took my pistol and aimed right to Night Light.
"IF YOU SAID ONE MORE TIME SHIT LIKE THIS, I SWEAR BY GOD YOUR DAUGHTER WILL GROW UP WITHOUT HIS STUPID DADDY!!!"
"Alex, NO NO NO NO!" shouted Akira and pushed me against a wall, hold me face and looked directly in my eyes.
"Alex, calm down, everything is all right, nopony is going to hurt you. It´s ok. I am fine. You are fine. He is your friend. Remember, David, he is without his father at the moment too so, remember yesterday, as we sat together. It was so nice. Think about things like this. Or image how I moaning in the shower."
"Ha ha ha what?" I laughed.
"Yes ... it´s ok. If it helps you ... why not?"
"Nah, better not ..." I said.
"Yes, I am sure you are doing it right now but see, it helped, are you ok again?"
"You are right. They are gone."
"Right, breath in and out."
"How ... how are you doing this? I mean not even the princess could help him."
"You only have to know him. He is not bad. He got only manipulated. If we can find the source ... we can stop it."
"Are we ready to leave?" I asked.
"Yes, why not." said Night Light. My feet began to glow red for a few seconds. That must be the spell to walk on clouds. But I felt nothing.
"You sure it works? I haven't felt anything?"
"Of course you don't. So let´s go."
"You want to come with us?"
"Ehm ... if you don't mind...."
"No of course, AND I AM SURE MY BEST PARTNER NIGHT LIGHT HASENT ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT TOO RIGHT?"
"NO OF COURSE NOT ALEX." and I only smiled.
LATER:
We 3 sat on a flying ship. It was comfortable and it was so nice to see how Equestria looked from above.
"It looks ... very .... nice..... huuuuuuuu."
"Yes it does. Are you ok?" asked Akira.
"Yes ... that must be ... the thin air ... huuuuuu hmpf."
"Don't worry you will accustom to it." said Night Light.
We finally reached Cloudstale. It was amazing, how big it was. Everything was full of clouds and made of clouds.
"JESUS FUCKING CHRIST NOT EVEN BORA BORA IS THAT NICE."
"All right everypony, we reached Cloudstale. Have a nice stay here." Night Light was the first one who went out of the ship after that Velvet then ... not me.
"Alex?" she asked.
"Y .. yes?"
"What´s going on? What do you waiting for?"
"I ... I am ... ehm ..."
"Alex, come on nothing can happen you are save." said Night Light and rolled his eyes.
"I am scared a bit." I said.
"Come on, nothing will happen to you." said Akira and smiled. I was so unsure. Of course I trust her but ... damn how should that work to walk on a cloud I mean.
"Hey, come on. Take my hooves."
"What? Why?"
"I hold you. If you fell, don't worry, I catch you."
"Oh ... haha, nice."
"But you wont. Trust me. You wont fall."
"OK, YOUR WORDS." I said. I gave her my hands and I slowly went of the ship. I made the first step on the cloud and ... I stood. It felt a bit wet but ... it worked.
"And the next one." My whole body trembled. Come on Alex it is not a damn mine field. Now I stood with both feet on the clouds but still trembling like a little child if it has to go to the dark basement. As I stood with both feet on the cloud Akira only smiled.
"See, it worked. So don't worry Sir, everything is CLEAR!"
"Yes, but ... I am still..."
"If you still scared, you can still hold my hooves."
"Ehm ... doesn't look like it a bit stupid?"
"Come on, ok, so if it looks stupid, you can walk alone I think."
"NO, YES."
"I thought you are a brave soldier."
"I AM. GOD DAMMIT I CAN DO THIS!" I walked a few steps alone and suddenly I slid over the ground.
"AH AKIRA HOLD ME!!!!!" And I hold me on her like a little baby which was scared about a lightning.
"OK? Ehm ... Alex but this will be a bit hard to move on ... in this position. Celestia your heart is beating like ... Damn."
"Ok, you won hold me, never mind what these idiots think. HOLD ME!"
"HAHAHHA Of course I will." she giggled.
"Did you finish your kindergarten?" asked Night Light.
"I do that for my first time."
"Hey take an example to this earth pony filly. He is doing it his visiting his grandparents his first time too." he said. I looked at it and.
"MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM NOOOOOOOOOOOOO I WONT ... MUUUUUUUUUMYYYYYYYYYYYY!"
"AHA?"
"Ok bad example."
"Yes, very bad example.
"Ah sorry, everypony and ... every ... whatever. But my son is his first time here and ... ah I remember it screamed so loud that whole Euquestria could hear it." said the father of this filly.
"See you are not the only one. Alex."
"I guess, yes." I said
"Come on lets move on." said Night Light and we followed him to the Wonderbolt Academy.

Call of Duty Black Ops - Ember
Chapter 13: Visit the Wonder Bolts
Finally we reached the Wonder Bolt Academy station. Hundreds of Wonder bolt flyers. I think I have never seen so many Pegasus. Night Light was still angry about the situation and the argument we had. Akira was still lucky to be with me. She loved every second where she could share with me. I was not sure but I think she liked me. And I finally learned how to walk on clouds. I was a bit slower like these ponies but it was ok.
"OK here we are. Alex, these fliers are the best you have ever seen. No pony can stop the wonder bolts. We have thousands of them. All subject to the princess orders."
I was surprised how fast these ponies could fly. First all of them were surprised and scared about my presence here. We entered a big gate. A lot of guards greeted us with their stuffs in their hooves. First you think with an army like this you are save but then there comes the memories of the shadow bots again which changed body parts to become stronger. And best of all, I saw these lightning's again. My headache become worse. I sometimes saw me walking around in the pentagon. As two ponies opened a door, I saw two guys in suits too. I remembered me all the time as I was in the pentagon. We walked through a wonderful floor, decorated with a lot of flags, and other pictures of big ponies.
"All these pictures Mason, all from great fliers from the past."
###############################################################################################
"All these pictures here, were all famous persons. George Washington for example..." *GRRRRRCK*
"FUCK!"
"Are you ok?" asked Akira.
"Yes, I am fine I only ..." next to me was a yellow Pegasus with a neon green mane. It walked next to me and gave me a bad view.
21 8 19 17 6 9 20 21 18 7 4 3 14 21 8 6 28 14
"HE MUST DIE!"
"ARGH GOD!" I shouted again.
"Alex, are you really ok? You don't look good." said Akira.
"I am ok, I am ok. Don't worry, I am fine."
"Alex you ..."
"I said I am fine! Better Night Light don't see that."
"Ok, I wont tell him anything."
"Thank you Akira." We moved forward a lot of ponies were in the floor. Every single one of them looked me. It was scary sometimes. I hated it.
"So here we are, Alex. And please, try to be relax ok?"
"I´ll try my best." We entered a room, full of awards. The wall was full of it. There stood a big table, a glass of water and at the end there stood a young orange Pegasus.
"General Spitfire?"
"Yes?"
"Alex Mason, the human from Earth. He is here to meet you."
"Come inside." The guard lead us in.
"General Spitfire? My pleasure to meet you." I said.
"Me too Mr Mason."
*GRRRRRCK*
9 7 21 8 14 17 16 5 6 4 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 8 7
"KILL HER SHE MUST DIE!"
"AAAAAAARGH!"
"Mr Mason is everything all right?" asked Spitfire. It was so embarrassing, why have this to happen today. She gave me a paper. There was a picture.
*GRRRRRRRCK*
"Urgh."
"The communists ... shadowbolts are a big danger for us." God I saw Kennedy and her at the same time.
9 7 21 8 14 17 16 5 6 4 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 8 7
"Mr Mason is really everything ok with you?"
"Yes, as I said, I am fine."
"Night Light and you were on a shadow bolt station? I heard they working on a kind of super soldier program?"
"Yes, they replaced parts of their bodies. I saw it. To become stronger and faster."
"And how is that possible? There is no way to do this."
"They have a source on Earth. I am sure. On one of them I have seen an American flag."
"Are you sure."
"Really sure."
"Then we have a really big problem."
"They also talked about spectra. I don't know what it is. No pony here really knows what it is."
"That's your job to find out. Alex, we are in big danger. All that what you told me ... it makes it even worse. We have no chance if a war breaks out."
"A war?"
"Yes, and the bad thing is, there was never a war since 1,000 years. We are not ready. We don't know what will happen to Equestria."
"They are planning an invasion. These ponies are so advanced and so much faster, it must be thousand's of them."
"I know, but we have to find out what Spectra is. Without it ..."
"You mean it could be something ... a kind of .... metrical cure?"
"Maybe, here, I have something for you, maybe something which could help you." She gave me the paper and I was surprised about what it showed me.
"WHAT? IMPOSSIBLE! I MEAN ... I SAW THIS PONY FOR MAYBE 5 MINUTES AGO!!"
"What? How is that possible? He is one of the most dangerous ponies in Equestria."
"Who is that?"
"We know him as Dr. Woodentoaster or better Glaze. A crazy scientist which is or better was responsible for researches."
"Which kind of researches?"
"The pony body, the soul, how our brain works, how we can improve our magic, how we can improve our mental skills and stuff like this. But with the time he started to hijacked other ponies and started to reprogramming them, ... like machines."
"Wait ... how?"
"I don't know, no pony knows that, he tried it with a kind of mental manipulation. He reprogrammed a pony to kill one of the wonderbolts because Glaze was jealous of him. As we tried to catch him, he disappeared ..."
"...until for five minutes."
"Sir, my respect but, Night Light told me about your situation and ..."
"I KNOW WHAT I HAVE SEEN Mrs SPITFIRE." I said in full anger and she gave me a surprised expression.
"However, find this pony and bring him to us." I stood up leaving her without one word. I saw Night Light waiting for me.
"And what did she say?"
"We have to find a pony called Dr Woodentoaster or Glaze, Glaze is his right name."
"OK ... I heard about him and what we have to do?"
"We will find him and kill this guy."
"I am not sure."
"About what?"
"To kill him. I guess we only should ..."
"NO WE WILL KILL THIS GUY."
"I am really sure Spitfire said you shouldn't kill him because they need him."
"For what."
"Maybe he can use the bad things to good one. Maybe all this stuff has some need for us."
"This is not even the stupidest thing I have ever heard ... it is fucking ridiculous!"
"And why? We are not on Earth my friend you cant come here and kill everypony you want... Princess Celestia don't like it if you kill other ponies."
"Ah she don't like it. Hm ok let´s see aaaaaaaaaaaah! Got it. We have seen an army which is so advanced, so powerful and so big that it could overrun Equestira in one day ... we have heard that they use manipulation to control other ponies and humans and we heard about a rainbow factory where ponies disappeared for ever and we found out that a psychopath is leading all that stuff so ... of course everything is fine."
"What the hell is your problem Alex?"
"What my problem is? You really ask? I know it from earlier every time we stopped an enemy weapon the nation which stopped it used this weapon for their own and the same will happen here."
"How can you know that."
"Because it was the same shit with NOVA 6. The CIA wanted Steiner alive to get on this weapon to use them for their own country to show other countries fear."
"We are not on Earth."
"Ahhrgh, I do what I want and I will find this guy and kill him."
"What is going on with you. You are different. You haven't it under control anymore."
"I have. All what I want is to stop it for ever. You forget, he is only another figure in all of this. If we find him I will get my answers and then I can find out who is controlling me, who is the pony who is responsible for all this shit. You forget, I don't only do this for my world I also do it for you and every other pony here too. I promised Celestia to stop this shit however it cost, never mind if you follow me or not. You wont stop me and if you try it ..."
"Then you will kill me?"
"If it needs to be?"
"Alex, I understand your situation but ..."
"If you would, you would help me and not discussing with me. This pony who is controlling me killed my wife to avoid David´s birth. She tries to kill me and if she killed me, ... she can kill David too. Maybe to by herself but ...
"She wont, if she really would she had already done it."
"No, she haven't done it because she use David as leverage."
"But you son is on another world."
"Yes and maybe still in the hands of the terrorist Menendez. Maybe not. But maybe everything what he is doing is going to the good thing or to the bad thing and as long as she is here everything what he is trying to do will fail."
"Maybe this all become to big for us. Let Princess Celestia and Spitfire doing this. We have hundreds of Wonderbolts, they are great flyers, they will win this fight..."
"They wont! Haven't you heard to that doctor? They are thousands, maybe even more. I can see your worries, your doubts, I know this is a peaceful world, I know you want to loose your ideals about love, tolerate and friendship but this will be gone soon if we don't do something. Think about your daughter, do you want her to life in a world in darkness? My son actually do this, your daughter hasn't to do."
"OK ... ok Alex, but how shall we find this Glaze?"
"The numbers will tell me it."
"The numbers?"
"I am programmed to hear to their orders. I already found out where the radio station on Earth was which sent the numbers so ..."
"Wait, you told me that these numbers make you crazy?"
"Yes, but they also tell you so much. They are a code. A kind of language. They gave you information. I hear them long enough to understand what they mean. Jason Hudson, tried it so long to find out what the numbers meant, they hijacked me to find out what the code meant and after hours of playing them I finally found it out since them I am able to control them. I have really bad headaches sometimes but ... I am able to control it right now. I can manage it. They only have to send me another message, and after that, I will know where this guy is. For example I have a number code message here for you. Look. For example, the Russians gave me the order to kill JFK. It's the code for the gun and where and how to kill JFK. After the fifth number "One" and after three more numbers "22.mm" the calibre of gun used to kill JFK. There are 26 unique numbers ranging from 0-25. Each number stands for a letter with A=1, B=2, C=3, etc.
"But why?"
"Because no one knows the meaning of these numbers, if you get a message like this, no one has an use for it. The CIA don't know what these numbers mean, so they don't know what the message of this is. Here in Equestria, are so many Unicorns which are able to look inside your memories like Celestia. But if they only hear numbers they have no use for them too and they don't understand it. See, as I saw Glaze, I heard the numbers again, because he spoke with me. He knows who I am!"
"God, this is crazy!" said Night Light.
"I know, lets go back to Ponyville."

"I don't know, I am worried about him. I don't want to loose him. What if something bad will happen to him? I think he underestimate the situation."
"Hey Akira, the only way to don't loose him is to tell him what you are feeling for him. He will understand, I am sure he will."
"But what if he wont? He will hate me? I mean, he is an Alien, a species from another planet. He is a soldier, he has a son he lost his wife. Do you know how stupid it will look like if I start an relationship with a human?"
"But if you don't try it you wont find it out. Maybe he needs you more as you think. And I am sure he needs you. Look, you give him attention, you are the only pony who understand his situation, if Night Light is really that bad you are the only one who can help him."
"Maybe you are right. Maybe it is my chance to prove something too."
"I don't think you have to prove him something Akira. He likes you."
"Yes, maybe you are right. Thank you Cloudkicker. You are my best friend."
"Ah ... come on I mean that's nothing. Friends help each other."
"OK, I will talk to him. Good bye."
"Bye princess."
"Stop calling me this." and Akira flew away.

"OK let´s see, My AUG, MPK5, grenades, flash bangs, my combat knife. Perfect. Huh? What´s that?" I note that a small picture fell out of my jacked. It was a family picture with me and David. I had to hold my tears back. "Don't worry David, I am coming home very soon." No one, really no one is hurting me, my friends or David. These ponies will pay for that what they did to me and my world. I knew where this Rainbow Factory was. I was full of anger. The only thing what I could thought about was REVENGE. Revenge to these ponies which were responsible for this shit here. Glaze, this pony ... will die. Painfully. If Night Light wont help me, ... his problem. If he has fun to see how his world is going down ... his problem, not mine. I wont let my world going down.
"Alex?" said a familiar voice.
"Night Light?"
"Where do you think you go on?"
"Doing my job."
"You mean killing hundreds other ponies?"
"I WILL SAVE MY WORLD AND THE FUTURE. If you wont help me that's ok. But I can´t sit here and doing nothing."
"But what makes you so sure. What makes you so sure that YOU can CHANGE the future? Maybe your son isn't anymore in the hand of this terrorist. Maybe everything goes even worse if you kill Glaze and ..."
"EVEN WORSE? HOW CAN THIS SITUATION GET EVEN WORSE? My son is maybe still in the hand of this psychopath. He is planning to attack states around the world. Equestria will fall if we don't do something. So how can this situation even become worse, IT IS ALREADY BAD!"
"Alex, I ..."
"NO, I DO WHAT I MUST TO DO AND YOU WONT STOP ME!"
"Alex I ... listen, I will help you."
"Ah really?"
"Yes, I know normally it isn't the best way. Princess Celestia wouldn't be happy to hear if we ..."
"I give a fuck what she is saying. I save her world. If she is doing nothing, then I do it."
"Wait, wait, wait ..." Alex walked to the door and opened it. At the same time Akira stood in front of it.
"Hey Akira." I said.
"Alex?"
"Yes?"
"Where are you going?"
"Saving the world, saving the future. Stuff like that."
"W-Wait!"
"What is?"
"I .. I wanted to tell you something."
"And what is it? Sorry, if i am pissed right now but i am in hurry."
"I ... I ... please be careful. Don´t die ok!"
"Hey, I wont not before I kicked this assholes their asses."
"Good Luck Alex."
"Yes. Thanks." I know how hard it was for her. I was maybe her only true friend.
"Listen, I am coming back, I promise." I gave her a big huge to calm down.
"Yes, ... I hope so." I left the house with Night Light and we were on our way to our mission. Maybe the most important one ever.

"I have over 3,000 Wonderbolts ready to launch Princess Celestia. If this human was right and these Shadowbolts or any other enemy give any dumb ideas dont worry, we are ready!" said Spitfire.
"Our last order for a war was for over a thausand years ago. I don´t know how I can explain that all the ponies here. They have no idea what´s comming. If this enemie is really that strong, ... I can only hope that we are ready."
"Princess, we have the royal guard army, we have the Wonderbolts, Princess Cadence will support us with the crystal army, all together we have an army of over 10,000 soldiers and everyone of them is ready to fight!"
"A lot of ponies will die in this war and also a lot of innocent ponies. I never thought that something like this could really happen. If Mason wouldnt be here, we would have no idea what´s coming for us."
"I am more worried about the human. He is trying to defeat an alicorn. He has no idea which power this alicorn has. If he fail, we will have dark times here in Equestria."
"Lets hope he is making the right decision."
