Intro

I Once upon a time....
In the magical land of Equestria...where Princess Celestia and Princess Luna reigned a peaceful land at most.In the early years Celestia knew her self that it would not always be peaceful and she demanded new order and power over te land, thus creating the Equestrian Mobile Task Force, a Elite army that swore to protect the land from harm secretly. The force being granted a worthy and mysterious leader.1000 years later Celestia's fear came true.this is the point of timeWhere friendship became a stranger, a foreign word buried under the hellish war that raged of greed selfishness and self destruction. The EMTF took action only little did they know the world was going to fall under the barrage of balefire mega spells.thus again Creating the "Fleetship" meant to ensure the Forces survival and where they became the "stars" blending in with the atmosphere and losing there planet.

200 years has passed and only Fleetship 005 remains and that the remnants of the once mighty EMTF. This is the story of a experiment. A Elite and this is his legend.So...if you want to hear a story my friend...you got a story.

H.U.D info

What is a HUD?...well of course give me two minutes of your time to listen to this prerecorded message. A HUD is a advanced piece oftechnology, it is located ontop of the spine and it sinks in with it. The HUD spinal device has the following feature such as a Radio, Radar, Map, Weak Magical Shield, and lastly the ability make your status appear in your vision. Oh one more thing the New Fleet. Targeting System!

Or F.TS sounds funny right?It can be controlled mentally if wished so. Thank you for listening have a great day fellow citizen of the Equestrian Mobile Task -

CHAPTER1: Birth of an Elite

"Ugh....why can't the Fleetship Commander just order to bring up some decent coffee"

the small brown unicorn stallion plops down in his chair letting out a sigh as the research centre is still quiet. Well of course it is five in the morning. The old small brown stallion in his white coat. Slightly stained from past small accidents and little food stains he dropped on his uniform during lunch. Suddenly the door in the hall unlocks and slides open as a small white mare walks in with her uniform all done up and In her horn is holding a pile of paper work

"doctor Sparks?...I think we are ready to start to process"

the mare says.

"Alright. Just head to the recarnation chamber units. I'll be there"

with a small nod the mare leaves the research centre as Sparks finishes up the rest of his coffee. Thinking back to when the project started years ago.

"Are you sure you want to do this Princess?"

Asked DJRTW also known as Dj Red Tech Wubs. Or even known as the Noble leader of the Equestrian Mobile Task Forces. Although nopony never knew why he had such a silly name for a leader. He is still a great leader in there book's. The tall red stallion towers over the princess as two medical stallions are taking blood samples from her and fills into a A few IV bags

"Doctor Sparks, You will be in charge of this Project. I will leave samples in your lab along with other specimens"

DJ said. The young looking colt stands up right at attention as Dj walk by him leaving though the main gates

"y-yes m- sir I mean sir!"

James said.

"I relying on you to complete this project Doctor"

DJ said as the giant red coated stallion leaves the castle quietly and also making sure no pony seen besides the ponies in the hall at the moment. The very few ponies that know about the EMTF only have so little knowledge about it. James certainly knows the history of the Equestrian Mobile Task Forces. About oh. Two Centries ago when the population. Of Equestria was still a little thin. Princess Celestia and Luna wanted to bring new order to the land by creating a Elite force with "modern" technology DJRTW was granted Alicorn horn powers and also changed his appearance just a tad. When the force was officially created with very few soldiers and ponies over all the princess sent out the small group to grow and do tasks as quietly as possible. Over the years DJ created what is known as a "Fleetship" the capacity holds up to personal is 4500 ponies aboard. There are your scientists. Soldiers. Fleetship mechanics. And finally your fleet commander. One of the only things sparks didn't like is the god dam coffee. "Are you distressed Doctor?" Princess Celestias delicate calm voice rose up to speak to him.

"Oh uh yes your highness I am very fine. Th-thank you"

Sparks said.

"Well I hope you are. Seems like you've been given a very important task, I sense you are at least a little disturbed?"

Asked Celestia as the medical ponies finished up taking a sample of her blood.

"I am just a little nervous your highness heh...."

James nodded as the medical ponies backed off. The room fell into a awkward silence as the EMTF ponies packed up quickly and started to leave secretly out the back of the castle as Celestia watched.

"Doctor Sparks are you alright bud?"

The stallion shook his head looking up to see that he is standing at the entrance of the research labs and a few feet away a averaged sized unicorn security guard in thick looking armour.

"Heh. Yeah I am . Just a small trip down memory lane"

"ah cool. Alright James the rest of your team is waiting get over there"

The guard casually says as he turns and walks down the metal hall his gear rattling just a little as he dissapears in the metal ship.

"Fuck I need to stop zoning out like that"

The stallion quickly pulls him self I together and quickly trots out of the lab.

"Where is that stallion?!"

the red coated mare with a black mane asked annoyed and impatiently.

"He's on his way Flask"

said the guard as he walked in and stood aside the door.

"He better be. The operation is gonna begin soon"

as she said this the scientist looks up at the huge cylinder glass tube with water filled inside of it. Or it seemed to be water anyways. As soon as she finished talking James wonders in casually.

"Hey there you are! Come on we're starting the procedure soon"

The few ponies in the room nod as they pull over a Gas Mask.

"Is the Serum ready?"

Sparks looked over at Flask as they all stand around a cylinder tube. The water holding a small colt.

"Yes of course it is sir..."

"Alright. Begin the process"

And with that the three reactors and machines in the lab power up. The energy flowing into pipes and into the cylinder tube.

"Sparks, the process is 34% complete....sir this...might be a bit too much power..."

The doctor just stop there staring at the tube.

"Release the Elite Serum. Now! All of it!"

Flask nodded as she pushed her hoof down on the controls and the whole room shook. The reactors building up with power.
Then they finally things fell apart an exploded and everything went dark.

"Hey! Doc you alright?!"

Flask yelled in the dark as emergency lighting came on.

"Yeah I'm alright...did it work?"

They all did not waste a second to check. A couple of guards turned on there flashlights as others used the glow of there HUDs to look around.

"My goddesess..."

Sparks said quietly as he fixed the bulky gas mask on his face.

Pink has flowed everywhere, making it hard to see what had happened. In the middle was a small unicorn colt, white coat and red and black spiky main.

"Wait? Why did his colours change? Why did it go from orange to black?"

Flask said as they all rushed to the broken cylinder. A medical mate lifting the colt and check his pulse.

"He's breathing"

The medical mate looked up at Sparks and smiled.

"Holy shit it worked! Successful!"

Spark yelled as the room cheered and yelled in delight.

"Take him to the medical room! I want him in shape as soon as possible!"

The medical mate nodded and trotted out with the colt.

TIME: 1800 hours
Location: Atrium 3-B

The large room was filled with ponies, mostly scientists and some guards here and there. They were having a celebration.

"Congratulations Thermostat"

Silver Bullet the Fleetship commander said smiling at Sparks.

"Thank you sir! Isn't this exciting? I mean. We've completed five Elites!...you know when I first started on this project I though it would be a complete failure"

Silvers face went droopy for a moment as he thought somthing listening to sparks.

"Look...I...got some grave news for you..."

Silver muttered.

"What? What is it?..."

"Elite...003...passed away..."

Sparks eyes widened, so wide that they might as well be popping out

"What do you mean?! We've...how?!"

Sparks slammed his hoof against the table. Some ponies looked over as others just continued what they were doing.

"I'm sorry thermostat! The virus in the food got to her and we had no choice out to put her down...she killed three engineers and four, FOUR of my RFSF bucks"

Sparks leaned back against his chair and put a hoof over his head. Now depressed.

"So much work..."

"Sparks...im sorry..."

Silver replied and got up fixing his geld back shiny mane.

"I got a meeting in ten minutes. Also telsa wants to meet you in the armoury"

Sparks raised an eyebrow looking up at the commander.

"What for?"

"Somthing about the Elite armour"

Silver replied and without anything else. Walked off.

CHAPTER2: Blank Flank

Time: 1300
Location: Fleetship and 005's Clinic...

With a small moan and groan 005 the little white coated colt with a spiked red and black mane moves a little in his covers

"OOW"....."

the small foal wiggles around trying to find purchase of what is happening as he is trying to find a reason why the body aches....wait..body...aches?... . The colt's eyes shoot open as he gets up before groaning again in pain his bright red eyes quickly ajusting to the bright metallic room

"he-..hello?..."

005 says. The little colt sits there waiting for a reply. But when anything failed to reply to the colts speaking he slowly wiggles his way to the edge of the bed and rolls off hitting the ground hard

"oof!..ow"

he says trying to get up and notice his surroundings. Obviously he thought in his mind he was sleeping on a bed and above the bed was a flourecent light in the metal ceiling. For the walls there was nothing but white paint and steel walls all around the small room and In the corner is a small deal with its partner chair nearly ontop of it with a funny looking terminal type computer.

"Feels like a cell."

Says the small pony before trotting around the room sniffing at everything he sees, almost fascinated by the simplest things such as a small figure of a CON trooper on the desk or even a chair leg and the desk.

"Uh...is anyPONY here?....hello?!"

The colt yells out before shivering again and knocking against the metal door. Suddenly the door just unfolds and two layers of metal slide retracting different ways into the walls as the foal jumps backs startled

"wha?! What the!?"

A small light chuckle is heard as 005 looks up to see a tall brown stallion in a scientists coat

"I see you are awake little one"

Says the stallion as he kneels down looking at 005 . The colt giving a frown backing up little to the bed

"um..who are you mister.."

I'm Doctor Sparks Thermostat. Don't be afraid. I would be confused to

"Why don't you come with me and I'll tell you who you are...and well even get you a cookie"

the little colt gives a dumbfounded look when the stallion said cookie

"heh right you don't know so much. Sorry I'm not very good with..eh foals, now come along little one I'm safe trust me"

Sparks says as he is trying to give his most sincere smile towards the colt.

"Alright mister!"

Says 5 as they both leave the room.
It was such a fascinating adventure for the little colt! There's ponies everywhere in huge fancy armour there's all sorts of ponies the doctor talked about such as a Engineer or a Soldier pony called a CON soldier and guards and all but the colt can't remember what types there were

"alright. Ready to meet your caretaker little colt?"

The Doctor says looking at the little white colt.

"Yes siree!"

With a chuckle the scientist presses the key pad and a metal door unfolfand slides open.
There at a dining table sat a bright blue coated mare with a black mane . Bye the looks of it the mare looked like a medical mare. The colt thought.

"Silver Line! Here there's the colt...take care of him alright?"

The Mare looked over realizing that 005 was standing there and surprisingly the tough looking medical mare said in a sweet voice

hi there! I was hoping to look forward to actually seeing a Live Elite!"

Funny how the mare called me...an 'elite' what was that?....elite..

"alright 5. This is your care taker Silver Line okay? She'll take good care of you I'm sure"

said the doctor with a slightly raspy voice for an unknown reason.

"Okie mister.....misterrrr...SPARKS! Okie mister Sparks!"

With the stalllion nodding once to the mare he dissapeared in the halls of the metal fortress

"now...come come 005 I'll tell you who you are".

I've never eaten a cookie before. But I loved it there was raisin and chocolate but obviously I chose. Chocolate. As the mare watched smiling at the little colt munching on the cookie she spoke

"005...your an ponies must go through training..you will be confused at what is actually going on. But don't worry. You'll know soon enough. Alright?"

"Okie"

replied the white and black colt. As I finished the cookie somthing caught my eye. Somthing I've never seen before..well now I'm being stupid. Everything here is foreigjn to me very. I turn my head a little to see a window of some sort and beyond the window shows a green and blue circle planet with white smear lookig things.

"what's that"

I question pointing over to the viewing platform.

"That is Equestria. It's a place where the rest of the ponies stay. Its our home. But you won't go down there until you are older little colt"

said the mare.

"But what's all that blackness and those white dots out there for?...I don't like it. Can you make it go away?"

Asked the little colt. And with another chuckle the mare nudges the colt gently

"that is space. We're in space, we are in the atmosphere of the world. And those little white dots you see?...those are stars. Like the sun"

the colt having a face o confusion and slight understandment as the mare giggles

"to confusing?"

"yeaaaah"

Time: 0300 hours
Location: Colts foal living quarters.
The colt during night hours sat at his viewing platform looking at Equestria from above. Intrigued by the beautiful scenery with his eyes wide and mouth gaped, it was almost like he was stuck in a trance to look at it.

"hey! Who's the new blank flank!"

A colt in a engineering uniform spoke up smirking walking in from the darkness into 005's room.

"Oh me? I'm 005! Or 'elite'"

I said.

"Ah shut up numb nuts and get to bed IM the best colt around here and IM the most adored got it snot snout?!"

Who was this colt? Who was this very shit head talking to me like a noble? And did I even mention I was the best?I had to admit he was a bit larger than me at the time
"what?!...I-I didn say I was good at anything!"

I squeaked as the colt shoved me against the viewing glass.

"Im sorry I upset you mister colt, just don't hurt me"

I yelled before shutting my eyes and next you knew the colt was pulled away.

"POWDER! what are you doing up!? And what are you doing to the Elite!"

Shrieked Silver Line as the bully colt Yelp as she pulled out a large metal stick baton and hit the colts rump a few times hard. I swear I think she broke the kids behind...

"NOW GET TO YOUR QUARTERS!"

My care taker shrieked once again before throwing the colt out of the door. Watching him scramble to his hooves hiding his face but not sobbing he quickly trotted disapearing down the metal hallway.

"Are you alright 5?..."

Asked the mare now in a worried tone. I was shocked and had no words for what just and and simply nodded a quick few times before backing up a little now afraid of the mare with a baton.

"im sorry you had to see that, come here I won't hurt you"

the unicorn said as the baton folds back up and hugs me tightly.

"O-okay"

hugging back and shaking my care taker picks me up and puts me in my bed and gently tucks me in.

"sleep now, okay?.."

she smiles in a sweet way before nuzzling my mane gently and I smile as she starts to softly sing....

"hush now quiet now it's time to lay your sleepy head..."

It was dark. It was dark and cold and all I could feel was...the feeling of rock and metal I was laying on.
Hearing nothing but hearing loud muffled and rapid pounding noises. The feeling of somthing cold hitting my fur, and finally the muffled yells that I could hear in the distance.

"SCRATCHES!!"

The strange voice yelled at me.

"SCRATCHES!! WAKE UP!"

The voice again yelled. Why am I being called Scratches?...or was the voice yelling for someone else?....I don't know...

"CMON GET UP"

And the voice vanished.

CHAPTER3: Ten years later

Time 0600 hours
Location: Fleetship Living quarters

"GOOOD MORNING PONIES of Fleetship 005 this is your beloved Overseeing Fleetship commander, Silver Bullet...now down to today's announcements, the Security Team of Sector B has finally contained a wicked virus that was located in foods and with heavy casualties put down the infected ponies with no mind but a desire for flesh...there names will be displayed on the Deceased files of your HUDs, also I have a announcement to make...We have received News from down below in Equestria Canterlot stating that they are now at war with the Zebra Capitol for ....resource reasons, this is very serious, we do have to keep to the Pirncess's orders and stay hidden. Doesn't mean there won't be sc-"

With a click of my alarm clock I sigh softly
"another day of ..boring training"

says the pre teen before getting up and stretching noticing a small heat difference that it is cold in the room, stepping out of bed I felt different today, today I felt that something was going on, like that feeling of going somewhere, as I shivered once I stretched my legs like a cat and pressed a small pad button as I do so metal shutters open up revealing the world of Equestria and smiles ear to ear and hears a knock on my door. And with a muffled" you better be ready Five!" I heard my care taker yell.

"Oh shit!"

I scrambled around for a moment and finally caught my self before yelling that I will be in a minute and with that said my horn glowed and neatly fixed my bed quickly and brushed my mane to its spiky like form and looked around thinking prancing in nervousness but stands at attention at the side of my bed just when my door slid open.

"Ah. Alright Five, I'm here just to inform you that You will not be having classes today nor your work out period, there being used as medical stations for now. It's just today and tomarrow and we will continue okay?"

Said Silver Line.

"What!? But I had a test on the Elite Sword MK II and I had it completely remembered! I don't wanna read that bor-"

"HUSH"

exclaimed the cyan mare

"just consider this as a vacation alright?"

"Alright..."

I said in the most shallowest way I could before my care taker lifted her head and trotted out

"great I have to go and do what?....explore more of the ship?...."

looks out my viewing platform and just stares at the green planet down below. I've alWays wondered what it was like down there. I've always wondered how things work or how the ponies were.
I've Seen pictures and videos of the planet and country, I've heard of the Mane six that lived in ponyville. I have always wondered how grass and dirt felt if I were to actually step on it with my bare hoofs.
After a few minutes of gazing at the beautiful scene like I have always done since a small colt I get up from my haunches and trots out of my room and heads towards the Mess Hall. Most of the ponies here in the ship respect me like some prince, I don't like it at all though having that I don't feel higher than them. Most would stand at attention and let me walk by or bow as I walk by it was weird.

"Hey snot about what's up"

spoke The Grey earth unicorn as he leans standing up right with his fore hoofs crossed and his little.friends standing close to him

"wattA do you want Powder"

rolling my eyes

"I want to know why such a Blankflank like you gets the bestest treatments and shit like that, I deserve it more than you! I help design and build the Ships reactor and all you do is write on a paper and work out, and for what!? To be this so 'Elite' EVERYPONY keeps talking about!"

says powder as he shoves me up against the wall and presses his front hooves against my chest and I grunt a little , out of breath but manages to breath his and suprised by his heavy weight I snarl out

"what are you doing now!"

"Im gonna teach you somthing I've always wanted to teach you"

He yelled as he raises his hoof and slams it down on my face, then again, then again.
After about the Third punch if just taking his hits he gets shoved and he bounces off the wall and into the ground with a

"oof"

and a heavy thud.

"hey geek! Go stomp around like a foal wanting candy somewhere else you you"

A violent filly spoke up the same age as us . She had a Circut Board as a cutie mark and a electric symbol as she. Wore a Worn looking Engeneering uniform as her face was dirtied up a little . Her blue eyes and black coat and lastly her odd pink straightened hair.

"or what?!"

Yelled Powder as the bully got up

"or ILL teach ya a listen along with your little minions here with your own hooves and wrench!"

She snarled as I looked at powder now backing up a little with his ears folded back

"H-hey take it easy SEE?! I'm going im going, come on guys, there not worth a hassle"

and with that the bully colts turn and walk away all pouty

"those Security teams don't really do there job do they huh. hi my name is circuts!"

The mare said in a very optimistic way as she held out her hoof.

"Oh my name is ...well I'm 5"

I said in a shallow way. But the filly smiled and giggled

"cool name! I wished I had a name like that"

"Wait? Your not gonna tease me?...or question my name?..."

Saying In a suprised way with my head tilting to the side and gets a curious look.

"Of course not silly! I meet lots of fillies and colts with names like that! I'm from Sector B"

she said

"Oh...Why are you way over here? That's like a kilometre away"

"I'm being sent to fix a malfunctioning HUD Device, since the technician died of a accident last week..."

The filly looks down sad. But after a few moments the filly jumps back up

"I got to go now! Nice meeting you"

she waves as she prances off and I wave back and smiles a little thinking to my self, did I just make a friend?...

Time 1300 hours
Location: Fleetship Mess Hall,
I'm the mess hall it was pretty simple, keep things clean and tidy, don't talk to much, eat so others can has a chance to sit at the tables, and lastly NO food fights. I always wondered why a such a rule existed.
As I walked through the alley way most colts and fillies were very i fimmialiar with me and as I passed by most of them would cover there seat or set there stuff on the seat. Knowing that that was happening each time I've always just waited quietly for a open space.

"Hey, why don't you sit with us"

A voice arose from the crowd, a small orange coated colt with reading glasses started patting his seat and two more colts looked over and smiled, I smiled back. In my short life time I've never had any real friends, my whole life was based on studying and training and taking classes on the history of our force my care taker said that friends get in the way and can distract also most ponies didn't like how I acted, but these ponies wanted to say hello! .

"Okay"

I smiled and sat down in the seat with
my metal tray.

"So your the 'Elite' ponies keep talking about?.."

Asked the Orange colt

"yeah, I am, you heard about me?"

I said camly

"well yeah! Everypony knows on the ship, most are just...for an odd reason jealous that you get top notch training and hours"

"oh......ok"

I said drinking from my cup

after that we all talked about things such as our favourite Wonder bolt or our favourite food and even comics, after about a half an hour the Current security guard on duty ordered the rest of us to finish eating and head to our quarters for night hours.
On my way back I kept prancin around the hall this was awesome I had a normal conversation! I kept prancing and dancing imaginary beat all happy and joyful.

"I got friends I got friends"

the little white and black colt exclaimed on his way back to his room.
The next waking hours I mostly spent the "morning" hours in my room listening to High Strings. The most talented Instrument player in all of the Fleetship, High strings mostly plays the Piano or the Violin heh my favourites are the cover for In the Hall of the Mountain Queen or Fluer Elise.

"Should be called Fluer Elite"

I said aloud to my self laying in my bed. I've never heard of Fluer much but I heard she's one of those fancy ponies that looked beautiful, sometimes I wonder what's down there...Equestria, I know it's beautiful for sure but I do know it's a horrible place if your at the wrong place..

Hey 5 get up your class is now Active, get there" "what already???"

I replied with a groan feeling not in the mood today.

"just go to your classes it's not bad 005"

I sighed and got to my hooves and walked out past the short guard. Or she seemed short. Over the years I've noticed my self getting bigger and bigger than most ponies. Explains why they call me an Elite. They call me 005 or sometimes Elite. The reason why they call me 005 is because that is my experiental number

"well it's actually 0005-.B"

my brain told me as I walked down the metal halls of the Ship soon arriving to take my classes.
Classes aren't really that much...unless again they don't seem that much to me it's all boring kinda I guess, the instructor talks about Equestria at first and then starts in history about the two princesses then talks about the EMTFs history THEN he talks about the history of our home Fleetship. Fleetship 005

"hm ironic"

I said with a light chuckle randomly as the other ponies looked at me weirdly, well it is ironic how my number 005 goes with the Fleetships number 005. The interesting part of classes are when he talks about the Elite Sword Series. The awesome sounding swords used by the Famous leader of our force. I heard he even invented the first one years ago. Appearently the sword posses power from Equestria and "Foreign" modified technology. The latest model Is the Prototype Elite Sword MK IV. I know each detail of it. The base is Reinforced titanium almost pure I think, the layers are steel and then Black Diamond Armour Plating to be the first half of the sword. The top shifts out of the bottom and unfolds into a little thinner blade at the top. It's powered by two sources. The Over charged Electron pack and the Uranium Shock Module. Allowing the sword to have the ability to make ponies explode litteraly. It does have a ajustment system for how much power you want to put in it. But over all it's my absaloutly favourite in all of the Force.
Foot Note: NOPE NOT LEVELING UP YET KID BETTER LCK NEXT TIME

CHAPTER4:Betrayal

CHAPTER4:Betrayal

Time: 0003 hours

12 years later...

"I can't believe It's been 10 years since the wonderbolts died....."

With a sigh the large white black red stallion moves around in his bed and stares out at Equestria. Some parts of the world just gray, I've been been named 'Scratches' a few years ago due to my talent for knowing how to Scratch a Vinyl on a turn table funny right?. Anyways the world has grown...violent...I remember when it was more green, now it parts of the world look destroyed. And tattered.

"Cmon Scratch move you ass"

I yelled out to my self as I rolled off my bed and. Stood up stretching groaning a little as some bones crack. I still think it's funny..how the princess of Equestria would resort to war...the over seeing Commander hasn't really heard of any news it's like Celestia just forgot about us and Luna it's like we're..just There.

"Scratches!!"

The mare ran into the room with a panicked look. Pretty odd for that mare too

"what's wrong Circuts!?"

I asked a bit worried

"did you hear...there was an explosion in the hangar and 40 ponies died...we even lost a Saterlite the "gauss doll" prototype...it's gone.."

Circut said in a low tone

"but how??? The systems for the hangar are pretty tight and the saftey procedures ar-"

getting cut off before I can finish

"there was a malfuction with one of the old transport ships...it fired a missile and caused a chain reaction Scratch..."

My face expression went to curious to droopy as I frowned.

"That couldn't be a accident.."

Somthing about that

"malfuction"

didn't seem to sit right with me

"It's okay Circut I'm sure those ponies lived a good life here.."

Time: 1500 hours
Location: viewing platform to Hangar
Most of the hangar was shit, what used to be a big hall of transport ships and prototype ships from Equestria is now a big mess floating around in space. I walked around the viewing platform to get a better look to see some ponies I don't know floating around...lifeless.

"Ah Scratch your here good..."

A voice spoke up and I turned to see a Security guard.

"Yes I'm here. Who are you?"

I asked

"my name is John, I'm part of the Front line Security force and the RFSF"

the stallion says behind the strangely larger armour barding. His visor was golden shiny and his HUD shined red instead of blue like the traditional HUD does.

"Ah now. Why did you say 'there you are"

I asked curiously

"well I'm impressed with your senses of perception, and I wanted a pony who could help me see what the hell happened here, I was about to send a pony your way but I see your here already"

I looked at the guard for a few moments and slowly nodded

"alright...sure lets go and see what happened"

Time: 1600 hours
Location: Fleetship Security B Head Quarters
As me and John walked through the sliding double doors a few other guards looked up from what they were doing

"hey there you are!"

Plasma spoke. She was another Security Mare who's face I couldn't see again due to there golden visors. I could see that her coat was a lime green under her neck collar.

"Yes? What's up"

John spoke up before sitting down

"the footage on the hangar cameras were actually saved. But unfortunately not on these terminals, do me a favour and go down to C and check there terminals will you? I heard there systems are functioning again"

I sighed along with John and I chuckled a bit.

"I'll go"

I said as I nodded

"you guys just...do your work here and research the hangar"

I said as I left and starts my way to the next security block. It was certainly far. I had to take the Engineering rought to get to the dammed sector. Examining the halls I've noticed the emergency lighting was on for an odd reason. But the main power is online, odd...

"Hey hey whoa take it easy Elite what are you doing way out here??? Don't you know this place is under a quarantine lock down??"

A CON soldier spoke aloud behind a metal barrier with a chain gun mounted to it

"no I didn't, if this place is under quarantine where the hell is the gates??"

"These are the gates"

oh Sweet Celestia that's not a gate that's a nervouse stallion with a chain gun.

"alright. Look I'm here under the order of Security B"

I said. The pony in thick armour unfolded his helmet and nodded with his head

"Alright...your okay to go...just don't try anything"

I rolled my eyes a little and walks forward Into the hall. Getting there I noticed there was debri all over.power lines were cut off and there was Plasmatic Rifle Cartridges everywhere. Along with blood, walking forward I noticed a CON mare in a beat up looking white Armoured radiation suit. As soon as she seen me the little mare jumped and even yellped as I raised a eyebrow

"oh sorry you startled me...are you from B?"

The mare tired her head looking up

"yes I am, where is the Security C quarters"

I replied
"Oh it's just down this hall"

she said

"by the way..the hell happened here"

immediately the mares ears folded back and smile nervously

"o-oh well that virus that broke out in the food supply once again broke out...over half of this block went crazy....we lost a huge number of security and soldiers..but we mostly captured and killed those horrible ponies, they kinda...ate each other......"

The mare nodded

"I didn't tell you anything okay?"

She said and I nodded before walking down to the security HQ, trotting in a found big pile of body bags and frowned as I looked around. The stench..of ponies rotting as flesh. A security stallion popped up and looked at me and smiled

"oh well hey there Scratch..YA here f-f-for te tapess????...."

I frowned a little at his speech stuttering and noticed his eyes a bit wider and his pupils small. Also he looked pale

"yes..I am...do you have them?...and..are you alright"

He smiled stupidly

"o-oh yes yes I'm alright I've just been up for a while working heh...."

He got up stumbling for the consoles and ejected a few memory tapes

"h-here you g-go.."

he walked up to me and starts to float the tapes to me as I held my hoof out. Stopping he stared at my hoof for a few moments

"are...you al-"

and with that the guard lunged forward grabbing ahold of me or trying to as he bit through the flesh of my hoof

"gah! Dammit what's wrong with you!!?"

My magic grabbed his baton and pulled it out and flipped the switch on the side of the weapon and it sparked with energy the guard chuckled and looked up at me still nawing at my forehoof

"tastes great!!"

He muffled out as I yelled and slammed the baton onto his face. The shock got him, it also traveled through him and got to me and we both flew away from each other, the baton flying away a few feet

"ah dammit you bit my hoof!"

I yelled as I got up recovering from the shock and seeing him get up, those grey eyes narrowing towards me, I scanned the area quickly and limped backwards to a desk and quickly yanked the drawers out, finding a EMTF Plasmatic Bolt Magnum. Loading the weapon with a left over Plasma Cartridge I held it up with my magic and aimed for his head. He lunged forward and I fired, with a loud bang the Part Metal and plasma turned his head into a red spray and his limp body flew through the air and hit the ground

"I-...I just killed...a pony...."

I talked to my self and dropped the gun, that instant the rest of the guards ram through looking at me then the body.

"What happened!?"

One spoke

"h-he just tried to fucking eat me!!"

I yelled as I pointed with my bitten up hoof

"shit, get the dam medical mare and make sure to his this body in a bag"

one of the guards spoke as I grabbed the memory tapes.
After a few minutes a small brown mare trotted in quickly with a mane a few shades darker than her coat, she looked around and spotted me sitting down before rushing pulling out equipment I don't even now

"now 005 just stay still...this is the fourth dam time I had to treat a bite..."

She sighed but starts to clean and after a few checks she injected a needle an started her suprisely fast stitching fluent work

she was certainly more attractive than other mares for some reason..maybe it was the lack of muscle than most mares have on this ship...? I questioned my self in my head and before I knew it she was done.

"Alright, your done now go and do your duty"

she said as she quickly packed her stuff and left. I left to, on my way back to Security B.

Time: 1800 hours, Loacation, Fleetship Sector B Halls
"So..you..killed a pony?.."

Circut asked as we walked down the halls back to Security HQ B

"I had no choice to...plus...it was just somthing that urged me to ..shoot..."

I replied to her question

"it's okay, ponies go wonky like that al the time. You get used to it kinda?"

She tilted her head jumping a little, as I chuckled

"Circut you remind me of Pinkiepie"

arriving to the HQ Circut yelled her goodbyes quiet litteraly and I walked into the room unlocking the doors, John looked up from his terminal, still not taking that dammed helmet off I could tell he was smiling

"first kill huh? Almost everypony gets at least a kill in there life" he chuckled.

"Shut up and take the tapes"

growled and tossed them to him. He shrugged and shaked his head

"not my fault the pony went bonkers"

he said as he looked around

"Since you did get the tapes you can go and rest it's starting to get late"

I nodded and left kind of ticked off at his behaviour, before I got a chance to leave out the door the same medical mare walked in, she didn have her uniform but her bag and she lightened up

"there you are I forgot to give you these"

She said giving me a hoof full of needles

"what for?"

I asked

"that shot I gave you will cause some pain...heh..."

Even though Johns visors covered his face you can see through the side

"who's this?"

the medical mare asked me pointing to John, once again I could tell...was he blushing?...I smiled a little knowing that he was blushing

"uh...I'm Im John"

he took the helmet off revealing his faded blue mane and grey coat Along with his Bright green eyes..almost like Applejacks..that's what it reminds me of anyways

"oh well nice to meet you John Im Syringe"

she smiled and walked up to him shaking his hoof. I nearly laughed seeing his red cheeks so dam red.

"Oh well that's a pretty name"

he smiled

I'll heh I'll leave to two alone"

I said walking out of the quarted and headed back to my living quartes.

Time: 1100 hours
Location: Scratches Living Quarters.

Laying in my bed looking up at my ceiling I sighed and activate my HUD. The fuzzy blue hollow gram screen appeared and I started to fiddle with the radio suddenly the commander of the Fleetship spoke up

"good evening ponies, today has been horrible for Sector B and C Secotor B hangar was destroyed due to a malfunctioning missile...every pony in the hangar died to the lack of air...an Sector C was infected with that mysterious Virus or disease in the food supply, story comes from the Security HQ in Sector C is that Scratches Elite 005 was down there in after math. The security team have told us that a infected pony attacked him and he repelled by shooting it in the head....I hope you are alright 5. And that's all I have for tonight. Rest well Fleetship, may Celestia rest those poor souls lost today. And now for High Strings newly released song! It's violin Solo... I give you...Cottage of the Rising Sun..."

I sighed and turned the radio off as the Hollowgram dissapeared not in the mood for a song. I moved around and noticed I still had my saddlebags on.

"Oh dammit silly me"

I got up and unbuckled the to me comlicated straps and tossed te bags aside. With a thud a extra memory tape fell out

"huh?,...must've forgot about it..."

I got up and turned on my desk lamp for enough light and picked the heavy little Metal rectangle. I could see the mini memory orb stashed in the metal casing shining out a bit

"well I am helping after all..."

I said before grabbing it with my magic. Just hope that it ends before waking hours

I Layed down and floated to my horn and drifted into the tape in a instant.

I'm a camera..or I'm seeing through a camera lense as the head swivels side to side watching everything going on near the Transportation ships, watching ponies do there work is...boring honestly. It's funny the EMTFS managed to make an memory orb work with electronics. After a few minutes a pony in a guards uniform walks around Mostly examining the transportation ship my camera was closest to....is that?....John?...hearing him walk past a few engineers as he looks around and quickly steps into a transport ship and into the cock pit for a few moments before jumping out and running off ' no he did not!?!' My head yelled. Did he just arm the missiles?!. It was his armour I seen his ID number on his chest...no he wouldn't do tha- my thoughts were cut off seeing a few missiles from the wings of the transportation ship fire and next you know nothing....

Time: 0500 hours
Location: you know where dummy

coming out of the tape I jumped up looked down at the tape and panted before picking up the tape with a hoof

"why would John do that..."

He wouldn't do anything like that... It's easy he is an ass but I know innocence and bad behaviour when I see it.

"Sweet Celestia...."

I sigh and slowly getup out of my bed and quickly make the bed before looking around and placing the tape in my saddlebags

"okay...my job is to....show this to Security...but...John is Security..."

I told my self

"well..maybe maybe I can go see the Fleetship Commander! Yeah thats it!"

I said before fixing my mane to its proper spiky form and opened my door up and started heading to the Bridge.

Time: 0600 hours
Location: Fleetdship Bridge(near)

On my way for an odd reason all the types of ponies came to thought in my head...there's the CON soldiers that have the duties of Containing deadly creatures or viruses or just being there to fight, then there's your typical Fleet Security guard, the ponies that are supposed to stop violence when it happens quuckly, they do there job decently but lots of bad things are starting t happen and I just have a feeling the guards aren't goingto be able to be much help, then there's the engineering pony, there all over the place making sure this Fleetship is alright and is in order, there's all kinds too..there's the HUD tech pony then the rare Elite Sword crafter or just known as the Sword engineer. And did I mention the new type of soldier? They call it a diamond dog warrior...uses all kinds of fancy equipment. That thing..heard it's gonna be usedfor special stealth missions in the future im Equestria. There's also the Very rare Elite pony...a special pony that's designed to be an Alicorn when they get older. A pony that's stronger and faster than most...a perfect soldier...and appearently I am one it seems like I'm the only one...
Walking up to steps I by pass a few guards and opens the door to the bridge. I've never seen the bridge nor the commander of Fleet 005. Oddly he was alone and he looked different from other ponies, his coat was a silky looking silver coat that seemed to glimmer at the time and his dark grey mane that was neatly done up, his cutie mark was three large silver bullets

"005? Is that you? My goodness come here I haven't seen you since your creation"

I frowned a little as I walked up

"uh...sir there's no time for that stuff right now....I have evidence to the 'malfunctioning' missile in B hangar"

I replied to him as he frowned and walked up to me holding the memory tape

"I thought those go to the security guards"

I stopped blushing as if Just stole it, did I?

"no no sir it's all a funny story heh...I was the one to retrieve these from sector C and well I forgot this one in my saddlebags"

he examined the tape

"so why didn't you take it to security?..."

I sighed

"because...one of the Security guards is the one who set the Missile in the hangar..."

He stood there a little hesitant before snatching the tape and quickly trotting to his room

"I'm sorry 005 I need to check this out..."

And with that he disappeared behind the Fleetship halls .

Time: 0800 hours
Location: Fleetship Masters Bridge
The masters bridge was the most fanciest,lots of dark polished wood by the looks. Silver bullet walked out as he sighed and looked up

"it is Security....Unit 77..."

He said as I stared at him "well what are we doing about it!?"

I yelled

"I'm sending CONsoldiers after John ..im putting him into a cryo chamber"

he looked up

"well what are you waiting for lets go"

I replied To him as he grabbed his key card

"I'm seeing this guard myself cmon 5"

he said as followed the commander off bridge.

Time: 0930 hours
Location: Stallion Security Living Quarters
As we walked down the hall the sight of the commander ponies immidesdly went into there rooms or moved aside as the big CON soldiers move to Johns door and starting passing the panel. A few moments later and the door opens up the door doors over lapping sliding away from each other, the stallion quickly got up from his bed along with the medical mare Syringe

"Unit 77! You are under arrest for the death of several engineering ponies and three foals!"

SilverBullet yelled as the soldiers run up to him there horns glowing

"what the hell are you talking about!?"

He yelled as he turned and bucked one of the CON soldiers sending him flying across the room and grabs his baton, Activating the piece of metal the baton sparked and slammed it several times against the other CONs helmet breaking the visor eyes and keeps beating.

BANG

John hit the metal floor hard missing his left hoof as Syringe screams

"John!"

He gets up and tackles the commander before getting pulled off by the guards in the hall. I just stood there....watching at what I seen

"you bastard!"

The mare scrambled in the guards grip as she was dragged away, the commander getting up and sheathing his magnum

"clean this dam mess"

he dusted him self off and angrily left the room as two more guards and dragged the bodies out.
After that...I don't know..I didn't know how to react to that...how they acted.....perhaps John didnt activate that 'malfunctioning' missile...

"Scratch dear son please head back to your quarters quick quick"

one of the old guards said in a discrete tone and with that I took off.

Footnote: Level up. Iron magic, your magic's grip is strong and has a bonus of 5 Melee points.

CHAPTER5:Pre-War

TIME: 0300 hours
LOCATION: Stallion living quarters

I sat and stared out my viewing platform looking at the distant Equestria.
I wondered what it would be like down there, Cold or hot windy rainy all that stuff. Even the type of creatures the world holds. I try and wonder why we are even up here in the first place. Then a time came up in my head when Silver Line told me why.
About 1000 years ago Princess Celestia wanted to bring a new sense of order in that anamynously helped pony kind. A test was conducted of five strong hearted ponies and DJRTW was chosen for the duty. And this order was known as the Equestrian Mobile Task Force. so on then Celestia granted DJRTW with Alicorn powers to say, DJRTW was then to lead the force to a rural part of Equestria even I don't know. There they built themselves up. Learned and even managed to create a higher grade of technology over time, after centries finally the EMTF created a ship known as a "Fleetship" due to the fact that the Army was getting larger and it was harder to keep under cover they took off into the atmosphere keeping themselves undiscovered. Only 10 ships were created. And they all used a piece of technology mostly known as the "cloak" appearently it took our engineers hundreds of years perfecting it and trying to cover the whole ship. Each Fleetship has nearly 7000 personal depending on how many breeding units there were.
The more breeding units the more fucking and the more ponies. The less breeding units less fucking and less ponies fairly simple hm?. Well wrong. Lots of ponies wish to have the permission to breed and resort to keeping there foals hidden if one ever has a foal without a breeding permit. So the exact number of a crew is very unknown. Fleet 005 is the largest ship there is and probrobly the last.
You see after the incident of one of the Fleets ships power caught in a EMP blast by a exploding satterlite the ship somehow just...flung out of orbit and just faded from radar and we've sent out more ships but they just vanished as well. Ever since it was cut down the 005 we've just remained as a stationary ship orbiting our planet.

"I gotta lay off the dessert"

I said in a shallow way clutching my gut as it ached.
Closing my eyes I relaxed and soon, fell asleep.

Time: 0600 hours

"WAKE UP ALREADY"

the mare yelled as she kicked my side and I grunted falling off the bed onto the floor.

"Ah the hell is wrong with you?!"

I yelled standing up fixing my mane quickly noticing that...the emergency alarms were going off and that behind circuts the red flashes of the lights can be seen going off as well.

"What's going on??"

I said walking to the door

"Sector B has gone absaloutley crazy with that. Crazy virus in the foods and everypony is eating each other!!"

Circuts yelled with a scared voice

"I got worried about you so I broke through security and came and found you..."

I felt I little touched by that. Not in a weird romantic way but a way where nopony left behind feel.
I smiled

"don't worry about me. I'm tough"

She eased up a little and her pupils dialiated to being normal unlike when she woke me with a feared look

"the Fleet commander is coming to get you. A-a certain protocol was activated where every important pony are forced into chambers!"

She yelled

"YOU THERE"

A raspy and loud voice spoke it's self. Both of us turning our head we looked at a CON soldier covered in blood that is not his by the looks. His shaky moments and red rimmed mouth he grinned.

"Looks like I found another stash to stash away in my stash....hehe"

he grinned as he walked forward and lunged holding a knife. Dodging his attack I slammed my hoof into the back of his head and held circuts behind me as he recovered quickly.

"God dam bitch!"

He yelled as he bucked my chest and I stumbled back clanging into my desk.

"Stupid CON!"

Circuts yelled as she picks up my desk chair and slams it against his armor wich just deflected it with no problem before uppercuting circuit sending her to the floor.
Getting up. And getting tackled. Shit, he pinned me against the wall as I tried to set my self free.

BANG

my eyes widened as his head and whole upper body just...dissapeared and decorated my wall with red mush. My ears ringed due to the round being shot in such a Confined space.

Fucker..."

A familiar voice spoke and Commander Red Shell stepped into the room with a couple of guards behind him.
Okay. At this point my eyes were ready to pop out as I stared at the commander. Red Shell is the commander of the R.F.S.F the Royal Fleet Security Force. I tried to wonder why the hell is a famous badass pony like him doing in MY room.

"Circuts!"

I helped her up and looked at the large cut on her cheek

"Are you alright..?"

I said in worry.

"Yeah I'm fine.."

she said shrugging me off.

"Elite. Come with me I've been ordered to contain you in a cryo chamber until the problems of the Fleetship are under control"

I tilted my head

"Circuts is coming with me"

pulling her closer to my side

"I'm afraid that isn't possible Elite"

One of the guards said as he walked forward.

"Well I'm Making it possible"
I growled.

"I'm sorry you just ca-"

That's all the guard said before my hoof met his muzzle breaking through his visor. Grabbing his helmet with magic I slammed his face once more into the wall just adding the blood as the other break whipped out his baton and struck my side. But that didn't stop me as I stopped his next blow with it and started to beat him senseless.

"Enough!"

RedShell yelled as Along with chuckling.

"I'll let her come"

I sighed in relief as I dropped the scared guard from my grip and followed red shell with circuts.

"And somepony please clean this shit up. Come on you two we don't have much time to report to the cryo chambers"

On th way to the chambers there was blood EVERY WHERE and I mean it. But no bodies. And also the alarms were starting to get a little annoying. Every now and then a explosion and gunfire is heard. Must be the security force trying to contain this sector...but nothing seems wrong due to actually not seeing anything yet.
I knew that for some reason I should've brung my valuables. For some reason I have a gut feeling that there's no returning after this.

TIME: 0340 hours
Location: Fleetship Cryo chambers no.4

"What took so long?! I've been waiting for a hour Commander!"

The Overseeing Commander SilverBullet said in a furious way as we entered a large hallway connecting to the chamber.

"On the way there we ran into a group of Pshyco ponies, sorry"

RedShell said as I walked forward.

"What's going on?..."

I asked with a tinge of nervousness.

"The Fleetship is under code Broken wings. A important protocol where the most valuable ponies are put into cryo vaults to keep them safe."

He frowned

"Our Fleetship isn't safe...and until we can get things under control again...your gonna be in a cryotube. I'm not sure how long. But I hope you are released soon...."

A explosion broke out down at the entrance of the hall and alarms started going off as the emergency doors kicked in and started to close. those crazy ponies broke through holding a gun or some makeshift weapon as they charged down the hall.

"Get in that cryo chamber now! Protect Silver Bullet!"

RedShell yelled as five of the guards lined up in the hall forming a barricade of them selves and held up there weapons and started firing. I turned to see the chamber door locked and sealed and looked at Circuts.
She looked scared and nervous. For a engineer she was pretty tough.

"What's Gonna happen scratch!?"

She yelled over the blaring alarms and gun fire.

"I don't know.."

A small blue round...grenade landed in between us and the guards.

"GRE-!"

BOOM

I flew back as blue plasma swallowed the defending guards and Silver Bullet hitting my head on the wall.

Things were a blur and I could barely see anything due to the flash.
The bells were ringing in my ears and all I heard were the distant sound of..heavy hoof steps and yelling before a huge figure stood over me. I shaked my head and looked up.
It was DJRTW, the legendary leader...
I choked as he held up a Elite Sword and slashed through the thick door and picked me up. His large bulky armour felt smooth but cold.
Before I knew it I was in a cryo chamber in the dark and my eyes widened at the sight of him standing and the entrance forcing the doors shut. He looked at me one last time before shutting the doors completely. Along with the light.

"Wait!. Wait dammit! Circuts!"

I yelled as I pounded against the hard cold glass of the chamber and felt my body going numb.

"You have to let circuts in!"

I hit the glass tube and gave it a small Crack as I grew to numb to actually move.
And soon, darkness took over.

Time:...
Location: Cryo chamber no.4

I heard silence...and then I heard and hiss...and then a pop and a slide...
Slowly I felt my perception and my eyes shot open as I gasped panting and fell out of the chamber falling forward onto...Rusty...a rusty floor.
I shook from the coldness and looked around only to see pitch black besides the Cryo Control's panel and the blinking red alarm signal on the panel as well

"h-hello?....Anypony?..."

when the darkness failed to reply I stood up and rubbed my eyes and shivered.
Checking my surrounding I closed my eyes and thought to my self what had happened...I was put in here by DJRTW...and..that's what happened..the grenade...Silverbullet..........Circuts...
Since I was released the ship had to be at normal status now...right?...
I turned around and stumbled towards the cryotubes panel anxious to see how long I was asleep. I tapped and wiped the dusty cracked screen and looked at log....

"203 years......"

I said quietly and started backing up staring at the screen.

"203 years...oh godesses..."

I shut my eyes.
This had to be some dream...
I sat on my rump and sighed.
Okay...if the ship was at a normal state then there would be medical ponies here, welcoming ne back or somthing. The I heard a hiss. I looked up as a distant blue panel lit up.
I stumbled to my hoofs and ran to it.
And to my suprise...it was another pony in a cryo tube.

"Hey!"

I yelled as I looked at the panel and then at the glass sliding up as a light sparked and blinked alot before coming on showing a mare. A...pilot...a EMTF Fleet transport pilot mare...
She fell forward and I caught her.

"Hey. Are you alright?...can you hear me?..."

Her eyes shot open same as I did and she freaked out punching me. I ignored and tried to bare how much that hurt snd looked down

"Ah! Fuck a duck that hurt...Hey hey! Your alright! Your safe! Calm down pilot!"

She panted and looked up again and took another look and she too shivered.

"E-Elite?..."

She tilted her heard and rubbed her eyes as she got up and sat.

"What's happening..."

"I'm in your boat. I..don't know what's going on. But I don't think it's good though..."

The mares ears folded back and she looked down

"I..I-I knew they would fail..."

I look at her and frowned getting curious as I noticed her short mane just barely seen under her large pilot like helmet. Her heavily padded suit with metal plates. Despite it was thick. She had a very attractive slim figure. I could tell her coat was a light grey and her mane was a bright cyan colour.

"What do you mean fail?"

I said She simply sighed and slowly took off her helmet. Revealing her mane and that hint of a secondary colour. Red.

"The protocol didn't work...I had a feeling it didn't. ..the plan. The ponies..."

The mare looked up and stared at my eyes.

"As all I know right now...we could be the only ones on this ship unless there are other undisturbed tubes...I highly dought it though..."

Her horn glowed and lit the area with her magic.
Now why didn't I think of that?

"Well..."

I thought about circuts. The thought stalled my words and the mare pilot tilted her head again.

"Well what?"

She asked dumbfounded

"Well...we should go check it out"

She nodded.

"Agreed we should find supplies and anything useful first..."

She said as she looked at me and smiled a little.

"Names Flare Signal"

I turned and looked at some empty shelves on the sides.

"And in pretty sure you know my little pet name"

I heard her chuckle a little before my HUD just..popped up and displayed it's black self flickering a few times.

//WARNING. NO FLEET SYSTEMS DETECTED. ACTIVATING EMERGENCY HEADS.UP.DISPLAY SURVIVAL SYSTEMS.///*beep*
SYSTEMS ONLINE.//

I blinked and stared at the hollowgram go red with the alert and my HUD powered off.
A few moments later it flickered back on. Excepted...things were different.
the arrangement of everything.
Stats of my body Condition were put into its number one concern.
I looked at Flare and hers did that exact same.

"so...I'm taking it that the ship is corrupted"

Flare said quietly.
My eye caught somthing sitting on the top shelf. A small worm carboard box.
My horn glowed and I floated it down.
What ever it was it was pretty heavy. I pryed the box open and seen...my sadlebag.
I was confused. I thought I didn't bring anything. I pulled it out dropping the box and looked inside.
My journal full of my obbsesion for the Elite Suits, Swords, weapons ect.
then I looked at a old note and picked it up carefully.

You owe me one.
~DJRTW

My eyes widened.
Did he go back and get some of my stuff?.
I opened the bag and looked in.
my book of medical research, a picture of me and circuts...

I sighed and lifted the picture out of the bag and looked at it. I was sitting with a bored look ands circuts was standing beside me with the most brightest smile a pony can expect.

"Is that your special somepony?"

Flare said as she peeked over.
Blushing I frowned and shoved the picture in my saddlebag.

"My closest friend..."

"...sorry"

Flare said as she found a saddlebag as well.
I packed my journal and books and turned to the door and looked at Flare.

"So what's the plan?"

Flare looked up at me fixing her helmet.

"Find other survivors. And find a way off this ship"

She nodded

"sounds simple"

Looking at the door I examined it and tried the pad. And nothing.
I rolled my eyes and backed up.

"Just what are you doing?"

Flare said and raised a eyebrow.
I charged forward and jumped up in the air. Turning around I raised my hind legs and slammed as hard as I can as one side of the rusty door snaps off its gears and flies forward.
Flare stood suprised and was speechless.

"It's a trick I learned from my learner"

"Interesting..."

she said as we peeked out through.
It wasn't somthing I expected at all. The hall where the battle happened was a complete mess. Bones, old destroyed weapons of all sort beyond repair, even old CON and security unit uniforms lays around.
Stepping out opened my HUD and took a good look at the Hollowgram.

"Hey. First things first Flare. Let's...see if there's any other ponies around here"

"Sounds like a decent plan"

The mare said while nodding.
So away we went. Through the cold heavy dusted air. The smell was horrible too. Lots of bones laying around. Most appeared to be part of the CON force or the RFSF Royal Fleet Security Force. Or just your normal security guard.
I couldn't explain the smell. It was more like a musty Rot!
I spotted a pile of debri. This pile was strange, first of all it had a glowing light i middle barely visible.
Strange... I thought.
I walked forward to find out what it was thought ran through my mind that it might be some device.

BEEP BEEP

"MINE!!"

flare yelled loudly as I looked back

"yours?"

The mare didn't say or hesitate before she jumped on my back and pulled me back behind a old shield cover before the mine went off and I heard the loudest noise ever

BANG!

My ears ringed as I looked up and my eyes were widened like a owl.

"Goddesses what was that?!"

I yelled at Flare and all I heard was
Being muffled.

"WhAAt?!"

I yelled again before her face cringed and she put a good over my mouth and finally the ring went away after a moment.

"That was a Mine Scratch"

I just rubbed my ears

"What the...mine...mine...mine...okay"

Well I learned a new thing today. When ever I see a orange glowy light don't be a big idiot and step on the...miiine...
We got up and dusted our selves off and I looked at where the....Main err MIiine went off.

"Well. If there's anypony out there they sure will hear that heh"

I throat laughed a little at her comment.

"Let's get a move on Flare"

I was clueless. Some rooms were collasped some were locked most were empty.
We eventually came to a large metal door. I checked it and it was locked.

"Hey Flare you think you could bypass the security system?"

She nodded and walked up to the screen by the door

"Sure I'll try"

Sitting down I turned around and watched the hall. I swear I seen somthing move. As if somepony just hid behind somthing.

"Hello?...anypony there?"

Getting up I rubbed my eyes. Must be tired or somthing.

"Oh shit"

Flare said as a loud alarm went off and a red light started to spin above.
A pony jumped out holding a battered baton in his magic

"Tis meat sack set off the alarm!"

My eyes widened I knew that look. The pale sweaty look. The bulging yellow like eyes. He's a crazy pony!!
Before flare or I could react somthing hit him or shot him. He held his throat in pain and suddenly half of his body exploded into ashes.

"What the fuck?!"

flare yelled as large security unit rumbled around the corner its tracks crushing anything in its way.

"flare we need that door!!"

The mare pilot turned and started on the console.

"Here!"

She shoved a Colt 224 Plasmatic Pistol into my chest and grabbed it with my magic.

"I-I don't know how to shoot!"

She pointed towards the bot and I held up the Pistol and started firing. The recoil was strong and hit my muzzle. But the half Lead half plasma round bounced right off like it was rain against cement.
// WARNING DANGER DETETED.
Fleet Targeting System Activated!// *beep*
Everything slowed down before me. But was very slow. I could see the rounds that the bot fired.my HUD outlining the bot with blinking red.
.....I knew this. It was used for CON and Security units. I never knew that all HUD's had it. I lifted Flares pistol and aimed selecting for the chest in the middle was a small red light.
'I'm bringing this bitch down'
I fired once and watched the round hit the spot.

"Get ready to be ect---- terrr-----"

the bot started to flay its machine gun spinning in circles bouncing off the sides of th hall until finally it hit the ground winding down.
I shook holding the gun and smiled with pride.

"H-holy shit....did you see that?!"

Turning to Flare my ears flattened and as I looked down at the limp body of Flare on the ground with a big hole in her back.

"Flare!"

I kneeled down and examined it. I don't know much about medical but I knew in the back it was lethal?

"Fuck. Just hold on Flare"

it hit her HUD where the main Circut was. It deflected and hit her in the neck. She's still breathing I just gotta get her to a...somthing! My horn glowed and I used my horn and hooves to put her on my back and I turned and left the hall leaving the failed attempted to open the door running away from the alarm.
Jumping over a pile debri I almost lost it but caught my stepping and spotted two ponies holding makeshift weapons.

"THeres one!"

I stopped and turned left running down another hall.

"Shit... Where where do I goooo!"

Yellin but not to loud.
I looked up at a old flickering sign
'Clinic'
I bolted down the hall way making a bit of ruckus.
Turning into the clinic I flipped a gurdy
Clear an set Flare down. Making sure that I didn't worsen the wound.

"Dammit."

I said to my self examing the round that punctured through her H.U.D

"What do I do!....RRR"

turning around I stumbled my way to a medical box and picked up a old pipe and started to smash it with my magic as hard as I could.
Finally the lock broke and I lifted the cover picking up all the healing potions that were still intact and carrying a huge roll of gauss I tread fed bak and set them on a nearby tray. Now attempting to treat her wound

"Goddesses....don't die now..."

I said as I forced her to drink the potions and wiped off the gushing blood.

"DAMMIT only if that medical mare was here"

I looked at the H.U.D again and poked the main Circut bump.
She jerked a little as she started to wake. Dammit. Not now.

"Stay still Flare"

I said quietly
Circuts did tell me about how to dismantle the armour plates of a H.U.D . She even let me pratice on her, but how am I gonna get a damaged plate off.
I groaned and carefully lifted a really tough panel and started to unscrew screws with my magic.
And then the plate just popped off exposing the inner talisman system.
There it was. The bullet. Resting deep in her spine.
I cringed. For some reason I felt like...I didn't wanna move at the sight of her inners. The bullet and plasma punched right through just barely stopping through the skin.

I forced her another potion and watched parts of her back heal up a little. I damped down the area with guase again and sighed. Putting a bandage over it she groaned in pain

"Scratch...I can't feel my lower legs..."

Ah shit!. Seriously? Her spine is toast. And I don't have any training or equipment to replace her spine with a H.U.D S-20 model. It was possible. The spinal version ain't no better than the normal H.U.D
But perhaps I could maybe find in some miracle find a doctor.

"Yeah I know..."

Digging through my bag I floated the 224 over to her and set it beside her

"Where are you going"

She knew right off the bat and said that in a worried tone

"Off to find a way off this dam ship. Don't worry I'll try to find a doctor if there are any"

She frowned and shoved the gun back to me and barely caught with my magic.
I looked at her

"Why did you..."

"You'll need it more than I do Scratch"

She said pulling out another Colt 224 with her magic
Seriously where did she get all these guns??!

"Right"

I nodded raising a eyebrow

"Plus I'm a tough pony to take down...even when I'm crippled..."

She smiled
Turning around I looked out the clinic and scanned the area quickly.
"Okay. I'm gonna close and lock this door. Do not let anypony in unless I knock four times"

she nodded as I walked out and slowy with my Hoofs forced the two metal slides shut and panted.

"Now what.."

I said sighing.

"Well...better head off t-"

///WARNING emergency H.U.D Radar Systems Activated::::::///////

I choked and tensed up like a cat spotting a dog and sighed. Even my tail went straight for a moment.

"Fucking dammit that won't get old!"

I yelled and shook my head. But then a circle appeared in my vision. The blue circle showed three red dots.
And in the middle was green and beside was green. Me and Flare....
I realized what those red dots were and quickly hid behind a old crate floating the 224 Infront of me.
Making sure the saftey was off.

" I'm sure they went this way!"

"Shut up and just lead us you idiot!"

"Ssshh! What if they could HEAR us you fools!"

Oh yeah. I heard them crazies.
Three bucks came out around a corner. Heavily armoured and gunned as I started firing my gun. The rounds bouncing right off there armour. One with RFSF Security Armour and two with CON armour.

Hearing a loud
BANG
A round flew past me and hit the wall. Peeking over I seen the buck holding a sniper rifle.
BANG
The round hit my chest and i groaned In pain.

"Sonofabitchthatstings"

I said and started to blindly fire my gun
I've never seen a sniper rifle like that before. And it sure as hell wasn't EMTFS weapon or I wouldn't have a my chest.
Entering FATs I aimed right for one in the head and another in the leg.

The round missed and the other just bounced off again.
Ah really? What is this piece of shit made of!?
I jumped to my hoofs and ran fast down the hallway.
It was then and there only luck stopped the bullet that I was attempting to dodge. Running into a atrium I tripped over a wire and ate the metal floor

"Shit"

The wire snapped. One zip and a large generator hanging above came down and landed on one of the bucks blocking the entrance.

"No! Fucking dammit he got away!
Your not getting away. I can smell you I can track you"

The buck said in a crazy time and giggled

"When you do track me down do me a favour and fuck your self with a spear!"

I yelled back and held back a smile

"Rah!"

I listened to there hoof steps dissapear off into the hall way.
Standing up I stretched and noticed one of them crazy ponies hoof sticking out of the debri. And beside it was a new CON Magnum.
My eyes widened and I picked up the weapon with my magic and looked at it.
Slick, glowing, and fully loaded with the MK II Plasmatic round.
My smile turned into a huge grin and I slowly holstered it on my side
Turning to a brown puddle I looked at my reflection.

"Suits you Scratch hah"

This atrium had many entrance were blocked off.
All but one promising looking hall.
And so I started my way down.

Time: 1800
Location: sector B Mare living quarters

"Please dont! No no ill d-"

BANG

I froze and pulled out my new Magnum and hid behind a desk and listened in

"Wow look how meaty he was!"

"Hey what about this other one?!"

"Ah just leave her here. Use her as bait"

A captive pony.
I looked at the radar and there was four red dots.
And one blue one.

"We heard guns going off you three are comming with me!"

After some argueing and hoof stomps they left they aren't too keen about team work are they.
I crouched and snuck my way through the door and looked at the mare sitting in the makeshift cell.
She had a music note as her cutiemark. The white coat and neatly done black mane told me that she wasn't a crazy pony.

"Hey you are you alright?.."

The mare looked up

"No I'm not alright!...look..you have to help me please don't leave me here!"

"Alright let me see if I can find a way to get you out...."

I fiddled with the cage and sighed.
It used a old key style lock.

"Shit..."

I didn't know a thing about picking locks. Sure as hell didn't know where the key would be

"Alright stand back in going to try and get you out of there"

She stood back and I stood on my hind legs, leaning into the cage I slammed my hoof as hard as I could into the mesh.
Didn't do shit.
I retracted both my hoof and yelled as I slammed both against the cage wall.
It did the trick, the mesh broke as I grasped with magic and pulled a large chunk off.

"Good goddesses"

The mare said

"Yeah yeah..Come on"

"Why are you doing this?.."

I stopped for a moment and wondered.
Why was I doing this actually

"I'm just doing what I think seems right"

She thought for a moment and crawled out

"My name is Pleasance....Songbird Pleasance...and everypony called me little dora"
My eyes widened.
She was one of those musician ponies one out of quiet a few.

"Little dora? I...I know you"

The mare cocked a eyebrow

"Really? That's not really a Suprise."

"Tell me..how did you survive nearly 200 years?..."

She frowned

"I was put into a cryo chamber. I woke up two years ago...."

She looked down

"I used to be with a pack of survivors until one by one we all got killed by those dam crazy ponies.!"

"Okay...no time for talk. I'm with another pony but she is back at the clinic if you want to come then come if you don't then go on to your buisness...and I'm sorry for your losses"

She stood there thinking. As her mind wandered off into Space for a few moments before looking at me

"I...don't know"
She had a sense of worry, I knew that kind of face. It's a face that Circut would put on if she was worried even about the smallest thing.

"Hey. I'm here. Flare that pilot is here. We're here for you"

I tried to think as best as I could to convince her. She can't be left with those dammed crazies

"Such a pretty mare like you both me and Flare are gonna kick some ass to protect you, Pleasance"

She looked up with hope, that did somthing.

"alright. Alright....what's the point of staying here...l that awaits me is a gruesome demise..."

"That's it!"

I smiled and pointed towards the door

"Hurry we have to hurry"

"Wait..."

I looked back with a sign of impatience

"I want you to take my dog tag."

I cocked a brow in confusion

"Take your tag...? Why?"

"It's....unique...and well I think I owe you somthing for changing my mind..."

I shook my head

"No Pleasance, you keep it. If its un-"

The mare stomped her hoof hard on the metal floor interrupting me.

"No!....I will not have another refusal!..."

I sighed and looked at the steel and ruby tag she held with her wing. Slowly picking it up with magic I hooked it next to mine.
It felt...expensive. I never knew there was such a thing as unique tags.
She seemed satisfied she even smiled a little.

"There. Well we better hurry and get a move on"
