Friends until the bitter end: Reanimation

10:00PM

'WARNING air break failed, Impact in 5...4...3...2...1'

BOOM, SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH!

gu,gu,gu, crash!

A lone unicorn stallion stood in the outer edges of a destroyed city. He stood to his full height taking a deep breath as he looked at a near by sign reading 'Welcome to Isgrifabad'. Turning around he reached punched a dent into the escape pod's side panel prompting a hatch to open up. reaching inside he retrieved a SCAR mod 2 and Majestic six before turning to the mane hatch of the escape pod. He reached into a duffle bag and pulled out a vile of viscus glowing orange fluid.

"Excellent project Alpha can still proceed." he said to himself as he placed the vials into the bag and put it on his back before exiting the pod and walking off. He then pressed two buttons on his wrist computer causing the escape pod to disintegrate. As he walked into the night a gryphon crawled out from some rubble and approached this unicorn.

"Pleas sir might you spare some food? My mate and hatching are starving pleas." the male asked as he begged the unicorn. He could see the unicorn put move the bag in front of him as he approached. The unicorn wore strange armor he could not see it clearly in the dark night but could tell it was tight fitting and the only noticeable parts were strange red lights on its inner calves and fore arms, as well as two glowing red eyes resting in a single red visor.

"Oh sure hang on." the unicorn said as he opend the bag.

"Oh thank you sir. thank you so... aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh aaaaah,aah,ag,agaggg,aaaaaaaa!" the gryphon screamed as he erupted in blue flames.

With this the pony proceeded to walk off leaving the dying gryphon to burn to death. And as he walked a cloud passed from in front of the moon illuminating his form. His armor was a deep silver with black underneath with small almost unnoticeable hexagons making up the black portions. The rest of the suit had sections of grey and white smooth armor with larger hexagons painted on them and on he shoulder was the word C.E.L.L and the right chest peace engraved on a small strip was the name.

Dark sword.

Crystal empire

11:45 AM

"You know in hindsight... burning down 12 blocks of the crystal empire to kill Queen Obscure probably wasn't the best plan." a stallion said as he stood on a balcony on a spire in the middle of the massive snowflake shaped town. The stallion was an ageing brown unicorn in an officers uniform in the pilots EXO, He was Colonel Grey of the blackwatch air force and active commander of operation queens bane.

"You think." the pink alicorn said to the male in front of her upset.

"we got it done with minimal casualty's." the male said as he leaned on the railing watching the firefighters battling out the blaze.

"MINIMAL! 50 ponys died, they burned to death!" a purple unicorn yelled.

"We neutralized the target. and it could have been even worse if we hadn't arrived when we did. By the way how did that crystal heart thing go ma'am?" He asked as he began issuing recall orders to his strike teams in the area with his wrist computer.

"We were able to place the crystal heart and return the crystal empire back to normal. no thanks to you Colonel Grey." the purple unicorn responded.

"I knew you could do it." he said before activating his communicator.

"Call off the air strike." grey said under his breath.

"What i want to know is how you were able to set the snow on fire." the pink alicorn asked.

"Magpalm" a new voice said. It was Lt Rabbit, the expert sniper was part of Tear one asset Wolfpack which was deployed in this operation.

"Whats magpalm Rabbit?" Pinkiepie asked.

"Its like napalm except instead of jellied gasoline, its jellied liquid magic hens the name magpalm." The pony said as he leaned on the wall.

"Lieutenant."

"sir."

"pack it up people!" a female voice yelled her voice amplified by her helmets external microphone. they all looked down to see an orange pegasus yelling orders to blackwatch troopers. This was Lt Casity francis Zael medic of Blackwatch death squad zulu, and was notable by once stating that her job on the squad was to make the enemy comfortable while she beat them to death.

"Look a looter." one of the non distinct blackwatch troopers said before said looter was tackled to the ground by a glowing yellow blur before the yellow disappeared revealing a brown unicorn who proceeded to beat the pore crystal pony before placing her in cuffs.

"You are guilty until proven innocent. You are ordered to remain silent. Anything you say will be used against you in the court of law. you have the right to an attorney, if you can not afford it one will not be appointed to you. if time does not allow for a trial you will be executed. do you under stand the what i have just read to you?" the unicorn said as he kelt on the mares back holding her down with the cuffs digging into her back as two blackwatch soldiers came to retrieve her. This stallion was captain Lewis young call-sign SWAT, Zulu teams resident former police officer. He like Starnes and Lamar were all equipped with Nano-suits that they had before there arrival in equestria, All of them being part of US nano-suit operations teams with there respective branches.

Starnes was part of the Marine first recon Nano-suit teams before becoming a soldier of fortune and later joining blackwatch being equipped with a Nano-suit 1.5m, Lewis having been part of the US Navy seals Nano-suit divers before becoming a special SWAT officer was equipped with a Nano-suit 1.0Ns, And Lamar was part of the Us armys DELTA force Nano-suit operations being equipped with the teams only Nano-suit 2.0D before being reassigned to Blackwatch. However the main thing about the prince and his second in command was that they were infected with the blacklight virus turning them into evolved. there had been another evolved as well a Cpl Cooper Connor but he died in a previous engagement. And they knew from first hand experience that Nano-suit equipped evolved were damn hard to kill but it could be done.

"Hey sir do we have time for a trial?" Lewis asked over the radio receiving a "Fuck No we're leaving" in response.

"I love my job." Lewis said as he turned around pulling his side arm a new Blackwatch Majestic X and proceeded to blow the mares banes accost the ground.

"Guilty. someone burn this body before it starts to stink." he said before picking up a box and moving off.

"i cant believe are the good guys." Rainbow dash commented.

"I'recon they arnt the good guys. but a'reken better to hav'em then be against'em." Applejack stated as she and the rest of the element bearer walked off. This was the fourth time they had been told by Celestia to go somewhere to deal with a problem, and blackwatch had shown up and made it worse before dealing with it with high explosives and automatic weapons. They were lucky and honestly a little revealed to find out that Blackwatch was deployed on a humanitarian mission to one of the changeling hives when Discord had shown up again. In fact both times Blakwatch had'nt been present thank Faust.

"You know as bad as they are. I am really glad they they are here." twilight said as she her friends and Cadence watched the Blackwatch transports fly off.

"I agree twilight. with out them as raptor would say it "we would be fucked." Cadence said with a sad smile. before watching a building expload.

"DAMN IT!" the crystal princess yelled she had spent way to much time around blackwatch since her late fionces death.

"They are the most heavily armed children under Celestias sun." Rarity said shaking her head. They had all become quite accustomed to the way Blackwatch operated, they might not like it but it got results and kept them safe. Despite Raptor once saying during a poisoned food incident "The well fare of the populace is none of my concern, all i care about is results. If you want to help keep that food away from Blackwatch" but despite what he said he still went out of his way to help the ponys of Baltomare mend there food supply.

"What do you think raptor is doing?" Rarity asked.

"rarity im sure your Coltfriend is on some dangerous mission again." Twilight said

================================================

Canterlot

5:30pm

"I refuse to accept the counsel of a MALE even an alicorn who doesn't even know how to use magic!" a mare yelled as she stood from her desk in the royal court.

'BOOM'

"I dont need it. i have a gun. its more reliable." the stallion on the chair said as he leaned back after shooting the mares drink from her hand. This stallion was Prince Raptor Equenus, or Lamar Jameson, or his lesser known call-sign Shaka. The last male alicorn, Leader of Equestrias most advanced and newest guard branch Blackwatch. As well as leader of the death squad Zulu.

Lamar hated the noon court it was the most boring thing he could ever imagine and he has watched paint dry on a dare. And he hated the majority of the mares in the room at the moment. Since Equestria and most of the other country's had a severely one sided gender ratio with the current standing being 25% male and 75% female there was an obscene level of extreme sexism. In fact do to the drastic difference it was encouraged that Stallions have multiple mates to keep the Population diverse. However there were cases where this wouldn't be allowed.

A perfect example was the Massive stallion that was currently standing in the shadows. Standing 8 feet tall and weighing just under 500 pounds and practically solid mussel, this stallion was the princes personal guard. Agent Orion Valencio was a phase one Agency created Blackwatch Orion super soldier. The stallion was rescued by the prince from a Maximum security Breading facility. Valencio then Pledged his unyielding loyalty to the prince and only the prince and would periodically go on long range recon missions for the prince. The stallion was currently dressed in the armor the prince had had made for him. Do to the prince insisting that the Orion was something he called a spacemarine because of how he acted and the weapons he carried.

The weapons he had with him when he was transported to equestria all those years ago before even Raptor Zulu squad arrived had'nt helped his case much. His primary weapon was the Orion SMG stranded issue for all Orion supersoldires deployed in the NMZ-RZ, but the prince insisted that it was something he called a "BOLTER". This weapon was now bolted to his wrist to allow him easier use of melee weapons with a its under mount attachment primed to cover an unfortunate victim with magpalm. The weapon he had acquired recently which was currently attached to his hip. He did have to admit that he did like the name Chainsword and it stuck. and the weapon he currently stood with was the one of the newly designed Thermal series of melee weapons which had been acquired recently from a CELL bace. The weapon was what was known as a Thermal Halberd like other thermal weapons the blade connected to the power source of there suits allowing the blades to be heated to the point they would glow. He held his halberd in one hand while the other rested on the hilt of his CELL Orion Close combat weapon or chainsword.

The stallion was currently wearing the armor of the newly formed and currently secret Raptoral knights which consisted mainly of the few Orions Raptor was able to liberate. its chest piece had the Blackwatch star embedded in gold and the left shoulder pauldron was marked with the symbol of "the Agency". while the whole of the armor made him and other knights resemble what Raptor called Grey knights terminators. His helmets piercing glowing blue eyes watched over the entirety of the room watching, waiting for anybody foolish enough to attack his Prince. for any pony foolish enough to try would surly be turned to paste by himself or the stallion currently in the rafters.

The stallion in the rafters was an earth pony But you couldn't tell by looking at him. In fact even if you were looking at him currently you wouldn't see him for he was currently invisible. The stallion was Blackwatch LT Commander Teshan Starnes call-sign Raider, he was Prince Raptors best friend and second in command. He was also Death squad Zulu's team sniper and in fact the best sniper in "the watch" seconded only by Rabbit and sharpshooters from other classified tear one teams. He was currently Cloaked and watching a rather shady looking gryphon threw the scope of his chytac Gauss.

'make a move bitch.' he thought as he flicked the safety off and slipped a D-ME round into the chamber. the D in D-e standing for Delayed and ME standing form Micro-explosive.

The prince was curently deciding what to do with Fancypants's request for more funds to produce a convalescent home for elderly stallions. And with very little deliberation he gladly approved the stallions request and shook his hand receiving a bow from the a affluent stallion and his wife Flurdalice. Lamar actually liked Fancypants and his mane wife they were polite, never overstepped there boundary's and would happily fund certain Blackwatch humanitarian Operations. The couple were believers in equal male rights which the prince believed in but knew he had an image to uphold and would never directly give his political stance on the subject.

But the two knew how he felt and as a result fully supported blackwatch, as it was one of the only Sexually equal guard units. infarct it consisted of a majority of stallions, many of which were simply looking for a place where they could be treated as equals. Others joined to protect there 'herds' while, the prince had personally recruited a majority of the first wave of blackwatch troopers from mercenary's and criminals, all if which having been formerly human.

'ding.'

"AUNTI IM OFF DUTY, TAG OUT!" Lamar yelled as the signal of the end of the noon court. He quickly shoot to his hooves and called starnes down while at the same time subtlety ordering Valencio to stay and guard his aunt. Receiving a hidden nod in response.

The Nano-suit evolved shifted his body to hide his Nano-suit in the rafters leapt down landing next to the prince wearing the lower portion of the Blackwatch uniform and a baggy purple T-shirt with his side arm still in place and his dog-tags dangling around his neck.

Celestia walked wearing her usual royal white and gold dress with new necklace Raptor had given her after her former student had crushed it in his hand in front of her. The new necklace resembled her old one but was black and silver with the gem her mother had given her resting in the center. However the gem was cracked and seemed to glow. The new necklace was made of something her nephew had called cryfibril apparently it was the same thing parts of his Nano-suit were made of and were incredible expensive where he was from.

She watched her adopted nephew walking behind the thrown and his body erupting with glowing red and black tendrils before subsiding revealing the stallion wearing the lower portion of his uniform like Raider ith his sidearm on his thigh and only tight fitting bullet proof vest and his wrist computer with his dog tags dangeling s neck.

"sup."the prince said

"Sup" Raider responded as he and the prince punched each others hands. apparently in Raptors world he and Raider were part of an ethnicity as Raptor called it "Black" which confused her because apparently there skin was brown. Apparently there people had had a fight for equal rights from another ethnicity of lighter skinned ponys called "Whites". Similar to the way males here battled the sexist bigotry. But for them that had happened almost 100 years ago and some of there people had actually come to embrace the derogatory term and make it into something that didn't matter stating that it was only a word.

'click, chick' "Im fuck'n hungry 'whooooo' you want a hogey? im get'n a hogey" Raptor said as he smoked a cigarette to starnes who only answered after lighting and dragging one of his won.

"Fuck ya i want a hogey." starnes said. Celestia spared a subtle glance to the Raptoral knight Brother Valencio who was surly hiding in the corner. She saw him role his head since she couldn't see him role his eyes.

"Fuck ya Son lets go get hogeys! Operation: Eat fresh is ago." Raptor chimed in before they turned to walk off.

"lets go." Lamar said before pressing an icon on his wrist computer as they began nearing the door.

the solar princess let out a small giggle at her beloved nephew. She loved how full of energy the young alicorn was. He was infarct younger than even Cadence who was in twenty years into her first century at 120, a fact they had learned when he had told them that he was only 23 unlike Starnes who was 27. however unlike cadence he was technically born an alicron where as the crystal princess was born a pagasus. The thing that made her attracted to him was that even tho he was obviously a battle hardened veteran, he was still naive. And he wasn't afraid to tell ponys just what he thought of them if they upset him, with no care for reproductions or possible damage to his reputation. However she had yet to tell him her feelings and She wished her parents were still around to meet him. It isn't like they had died they had just disappeared two thousand years ago back when the population was still relatively evin. While she was thinking to her self the gem in her necklace seemed to shine brighter as the crack widened slightly.

'celi?'

"What was that?" she asked herself getting a strange helmet tilt from Valencio as he decided to watch the princess more carefully. He had noticed that the crack in her gem was getting wider and wider and she was acting stranger and stranger around his Prince. And with that the two of them settled in for the court, and they had to prepare for the wedding that was coming up.
