EAF(Equestrian Armed Forces)by General SparksChaptersBunkerSouls of WarThe DealDreadful NightNew OrdersMarinesMind Over MatterBlood in the EverfreeBunkerAll was peaceful in Ponyvill. Ponies of all different types trotted back and fourth. The towns center was full of life. Twilight awoke to the sound of Spike burping up a scroll. She's always loved Spike ,but the sound of him burping up a scroll somtimes annoyed her especially when she's asleep. "Um, Twilight it's a message from Princess Celestia." Twilight rolled out of bed ,and trotted over to Spike. "Sometimes Celestia you send messages at the wrong time." At that she levitated the scroll over to her and unfolded the paper. Dear, Twilight I received word of an unknown structure in Canterlot that I would like you to personally investigate the structure I'll Assign royal guards to escort you into the structure please report to me after you've fully read this letter it's a matter of upmost urgency. From: Princess Celestia.. "Wow an unknown structure in Canterlot!!! And I get to Investigate it!!!! This is the best day ever!!!" Twilight hugged herself soffocating the letter with her legs. "Spike pack up we need to leave today. O my gosh I can't to tell all my friends about that adventure we....." At that instant Spike burped another scroll which Twilight read. Dear, Twilight I forgot to mention its top secret. From: Princess Celestia. Twilight frowned as she read the "top secret." She loves going on adventures with her friends but now she has to do it alone... "Aww don't worry Twilight I'll come with anyways you did read both letters out loud." Spike said in a comforting voice. Twlight looked at Spike and smiled. "Your right Spike if it's a matter of upmost urgency ,and top secret it must be dangerous. We wouldn't want to get them hurt would we." "Can't agree with you more there Twilight." Spike replied. And they both set out to Canterlot. 5 hours later.... Twilight and Spike arrived to Canterlot. They unloaded their luggage from the train ,and made the journey to the Castle. As they arrived they were stopped by two guards... " Miss Twlight please follow us to the location of the structure." "Um okay." " Princess Celestia asked us to inform you about the structure, it appears to be made out of reenforced concrete and has multiple holes surrounding, it looks like it's been beaten with some sort of explosive weapons." "Weird has anyone entered the structure yet?" "No, we're the first ponies who are going to enter the structure. We don't know what's inside but we have orders to protect you while you investigate." As the group walked over to the location Twilight noticed that the bunker was located inside the hill with only part of the entrance exposed. "This is it." The guard said. "This is a strangest structure I've ever seen. Twilight replied as she approached what seemed be the entrance. The entrance was sealed with what was a tall red rusted metal door. "This must be the entrance." Twilight studied the door closely. " Becareful Miss Twilight."One of the guards said with a hint of fear in his voice. "I agree with him Twilight." Spike replied. "We don't know what what kind of place this is it could be booby trapped for all we know." "Don't worry spike I've got this under control."Twilight said in a sarcastic tone. "I hope your right." Spike replied. Twilight tries pushing the door open. "It's jammed shut." She said, she then used her magic to forcefully push the door open. "I think just about got it." The door then made a click noise and proceeded to open under its own weight and for a gust of air to fly out of the bunker. "Bingo." Twilight said. But she couldn't help but notice that there was another presence in the room as if there were 50 ponies in the room at once just...... Watching. As they walked in she used her magic to illuminate the surrounding area with her horn. The two guards did the same. As Twilight walked around she notices fileing cabinets surrounded in dust. Twilight also noticed a part of the bunker that held the word "Government military fallout shelter no.5." Twilight read the words out loud and wrote them down in a book labeled Book of Knowledge. "Miss Twilight I found something!" One of the guards yelled. "It looks to be a skeleton of an unknown creature." Twilight investigated the skeleton closely. She noted it closely resembled an ape but it had clothes on she also noticed something reflect the light from her horn "Huh what's that." Twilight said in a curious voice. As she looked closely she noticed it was a pin located on the skeletons clothes. From what she could make out it was a pin with four stars connected together forming a straight line as she was was about to touch the pin she felt a gust of wind hit her it and it was cold. Spike noticed it as well. "What was that." Spike said as a shiver went down his spine. "I don't know Spike." Twilight said. She decided to ignore it and looked over the skeleton again. This time she notices a piece of paper on the skeletons hand. She levitates the paper up to her eye level. "Hm what's this." She said. Surprised that's it's written in equestrian. "Amazing." She said. She then began to read what was on the paper... " 2/19/16 This is 4 Star General Spark reporting in for the last time I think... Me and my friends have been stuck in here for a month now. We Just ran out of food. I had to share the last can of beans with Chris and Eddie. The rest of the men have all passed on... Poor bastards couldn't handle the stress of being confined In here. I told them it was bad idea to stuff 37 of us in here. Now there 3 of us left Me 3 Star Gen Chris and and Colonel Eddie. Well at least I'll die with my best friends and if someone's finds this after God knows how many years. Please fucking hit Chris corpse or skeleton for pissing in our only water supply. Hehe He may be a dumbass but he's my dumbass. It makes me sad to see them like this. Dying of starvation. Sometimes I wonder if the radiation from the outside actually mutates animals like the video games but if the world gets taken over by animals I'm so done." Twilight was shocked at the papers contents who were these creatures and what do they mean about the world getting taken over by animals. She was shocked until she felt something pull her horn and turn her in a 360 and she felt her horn start emitt strong amounts of magic. "What's going on?!!?!" She screamed. There was a flashing light and a boom then it got quiet. *cough cough* was all that was heard. Everyone looked towards the coughing and as the smoke cleared They saw a pony pulling himself up to a standing position and it spoke. "Damnit I knew this would happen!" Souls of War"Ugh my head," said the pony. "Fuck sakes." Twilight watched as he looked directly at her. Shock filled the unicorns mind as the desert colored pony started to approach her. "S-Stay back!" Twilight said in a terrified voice, as she began to emit magic from her horn. The guards themselves including spike were still shocked to even do anything. The pony stopped a few feet away from her and she noticed something astonishing, the pony was an alicorn and its cutie mark resembled that of a shield with a star in the center with wings on both sides of the shield. She mustered up the courage to talk to the pony again "W-who are you!" She yelled at the pony. The pony simply said, "Your worst enemy," the pony said in a terrifying tone. She took a step back. "I mean no harm ,unless you Decide other wise." The pony said in a calm voice, "Okay, only if you promise not to hurt us." Twilight replied. The pony simply nodded ,and said affirmative. After the agreement of peace between them Twilight had sent Spike including the two guards outside to help give the pony space to think, the pony began to walk around looking for something ,until he hovered over what to be the skeleton Twilight was investigating earlier. "What are you looking for?" Twilight asked. "My life." The pony said. Twilight was shocked at his response. "Your what?" Twilight said, she then noticed the stallion pull the 4 star pin from the corpse ,and levitated it to her eye level and said "My life." Twilight was surprised of what the stallion considered his "life." "Can you explain to me what you mean?" Twilight asked. The stallion sighed and said "My entire life is based on what this pin symbolizes."He said, "I spent every second of my life to acquire these 4 stars." He said with a hint of sadness "I seen things that no person should ever see." A tear rolled down the stallions cheek. "My soul was breed for war and only war." He said with a bit of anger in his voice. He sat down and stared into what his soul decided to leave behind. He Imagined the horrors he experienced he remembered once when he had to carry a wounded child civilian to cover watching as he slowly bleed out. It also brought back memories of him having to put a solider out of his misery. He tried to think about something that he enjoyed that brought him extreme happiness. He remembered as him and his friends finally graduating from officer training school it was the happiest day of our lives. But it quickly faded into darkness.... His thoughts were clouded for a second. He felt like shit having to think about those horrible memories ,but he thought to himself he should be used to this, it was what he was made to be ,and what he would always be. Twilight felt great pity for him. She thought about what he was saying. Spending your life to acquire something doing unimaginable things to get it. When he saw the pony standup and seem to calm down she walked closer to him and asked. "Who are you?" Twilight asked. The stallion looked at Twilight once again. " 4 Star General Spark of the United States military." He said in a formal tone. Twilight was confused. "What's the United States?" Twilight asked. Spark thought was finally confirmed. The United States has been untterly destroyed. "Well from what I can tell your standing on top of its remains." He chuckled at the thought. Twilight was still confused. "That really didn't really answer my question." Twilight said hoping to get a full explanation from Spark. She was disappointed when Spark said it's a long story and I'll explain later. Twilight was very interested in the stallion alicorn she had one more question to ask. "What were you?" She asked as she pointed towards his remains. "I was what you call a human." Twilight gasped she's read about humans as being creatures of war and masters of death. "What?" He asked confused. "Nothing Twilight said quickly making a innocent grin. Spark just ignored her. Twilight suddenly remembered something. She took the note she found from Sparks human skeleton. "Um, Spark I believe this belongs to you." Spark levitated the paper over to himself. "Ah I remember this,"he chuckled as he read over it. "Did you do it?" He asked. "What?" She asked confused, Spark only chuckled at her response "never mind," he said "the time will come for him soon." Spark thought of the perfect revenge for Chris. "Anyway do you know how to use that bring souls back to life crap anyways?" Twilight thought for a moment she knew there were spells that could do such things but only powerful alicorns can preform such spells ,but she wondered how did she managed to be forced to pull off the spell. "There is one way but we'll need to talk to Princess Celestia. "Princess," Spark said dumbfounded America has been transformed into a Monarchy great he thought. "I'll take you to her, only if you promise to behave yourself." Twilight said remembering the fact that he used to be a human. As they walked were about to walk out the door, Spark felt as if people were watching him and a breeze hit him in the back of the head, he knew who they were and he whispered "I'll be back." He thought of something and turned around and quickly went over to one of the cabinets pulling out a folder with a blueprint inside which included a picture somehow preserved for billions of years ,and quickly went back to meet Twilight. "Your Princess won't say no to this." He said with a smirk. The DealBetter to fight for something than live for nothing. ~George S. Patton As, Twilight and Spark walked out of the Bunker, Spark couldn't hope himself the beauty of the outside world "This......This is amazing!" He yelled "It's so beautiful!" Sparks never been this excited about be outside but he had a reason to be. He breathed in the air it felt fresh and unpolluted. Don't need to get over exaggerated, as she watch Spark roll all over the grass. "Err I'll just leave it to you then." She said with a smile. Sometime later..... Are you done Twilight asked sitting on a rock . "Yea yea I'm uh done he said." Looking back at the flattened grass and back at her. "Finally," Spike said, Twilight giggled. She turned to look at the two guards playing cards on a rock. "Time to move out." Twilight said. "But Miss Twilight," the guards replied. "Now," she said with an increase in tone. After 2 minutes th group set out back to the Castle "Hey I just noticed you and your pet never introduced yourselves," Spark asked. "Who you calling a pet?" Spike Said irritated. "Spike you are technically considered my pet dragon." Twilight giggled. "I guess your right." Spike replied. "Well Spark to answer you question, I'm Twilight Sparkle and this is Spike. "Yo," Spike said in a cool voice. "Interesting. Well can you tell me a little about your Princess?" Spark asked. "Sure, Princess Celestia is the ruler of all of Equestria. She cycles the the day and nights and....." Twilight was interrupted by Spark. "Wait wait wait so your telling me that you Princess controls day and night?" He asked dumbfounded. "Um yeah she does everypony knows that." She said making Spark look like an idiot. Twilight could see air building up in his mouth. "What's wrong?" She asked worried. Spark couldn't believe what he just heard he felt laughter wanting to build up ,but he tried to hold it in. Finally, after she asks what was wrong he burst out laughing, "Ahahahha!" He laughed out loud tears coming out from his eye. What's so funny Twilight?" Twilight asked confused. "That's ipossible you can't just make celestial bodies mov like that." Spark said as he wiped tears from his face. Twilight just rolled her eyes, "whatever you say." She said chuckling at the thought of proving him wrong. As they continued on Spark couldn't help but notice the beautiful medieval Castle coming over over the horizon. "Woah." He said his veiw locked onto the beautiful kingdom. "I've never seen anything like this before." Spark desperately wanted to explore the kingdom. "Don't worry we're almost there." Twilight said reassuring him. Spark felt his heart pump as they reached the entrance to the city. He's never been this excited to visit some place before. "Welcome to the city of Equestria!" Twilight said with smile. "It's so beautiful." He said to Twilight. As they continued walking down the streets of the city to the the castle, She watched as Spark franticly looking at all the stores, restaurants ,and ponies. Sparks mind was full of plans of what he wanted to do in the city. For once a felt like a teenage girl who's just came to a mall with her friends. He was starting to love the new Monarchy formed America. "Spark come on your falling behind." Twilight told him. "O yea sorry." He replied. The group finally reached the castle gates. As they made there way into the grand hallway to Celestias throne, Spark sensed something it made him feel uneasy he ignored the thought and followed Twilight as the two guards who escorted them opened the grand door to Celestia throne. The two guards closed the door and proceeded to wait outside till further notice. Twilight I see you've come from the investigation." Celestia said in a motherly voice. "And I see you've brought a friends." "Yes Princess the investigation went well, this is Spark." Twilight replied to Celestial. "A Stallion alicorn what a sight." Princess Celestia said. Spark proceed blush at Celestias comment. Celestia could sense a energy from Spark but she couldn't tell what it was. To her it felt like sadness mixed in with guilt and darkness but she sensed a little bit of light inside of him. "May I ask what were you doing around the structure Mr.Spark?" Celestia asked curiously. "It's General Spark by the way and, I was inside I'm no pony I was actually a human." Spark said. Celestia gasped and stood up "Twilight get away from him!" Celestia warned. Twilight was confused as she watched magic start to emit from her horn. Spark was surprised at the change of atmosphere. He took a step back, he then felt and invisible force pin him against a wall. "I'm friendly!" He screamed. Celestia ignored his pleding and approched his pinned body. Celestia stop please!" Twilight screamed. "No, this human must be eradicated!" She said. "But he's not a human look at him he's a pony," Twilight pleded. Celestia could feel Sparks heart beat in fear through her magic. She knew what humans were capable of and the risk of having a human alicorn possing Unknown amounts of power was dangerous and she knew what he really was. Spark was trying to break free from Celestias grip it was impossible. Celestia please don't hurt him he's been very nice to me." Twilight said as a tear rolled down her check. "He's not who you think he is!" Celestia yelled. "He's not a Alicorn he's somthing far more dangerous and deadly." She explained. "He's a legendary version of an alicorn." Celestia used her magic to forcefully spread Sparks wings. Twilight gasped they looked like wings from an angel of death. "He's a War Horse!" Who kills and destroys for absolutely no reason. Celestia used her magic to grip around Sparks throat and started to tightened the grip suffocating him. Spark mustered up the energy to say "I-I'm different." He begged one last time tears rolled down Sparks face. Celestia was full of rage towards Spark but she felt pity and felt Spark was different. Celestia loosened the grip around Sparks throat allowing him to breath. Celestia looked Spark straight in the eye and said "If you every hurt or kill any of my subjects intentionally I won't hesitate to put you down." And at that she withdrew the magic holding Spark down, and watched as he fell from the position he was being pinned from. Spark felt like he's been humiliated but she wasn't lying he had to kill and destroy as a human it was what he was made to do he stood up slowly and said. "Yes ma'am you have my word." "Good."Celestia said as she sat back on her throne Twilight was rubbing Sparks throat and limbs after what just happened. Spark decided to ask Celestia about what she could do to help bring back his friends and fellow soldiers, "Ce-Celestia." He hesitantly said "I-I wanna make you a deal." He said. "What is it." She asked. "I was wondering if you could bring my friends souls back to life," "What!" Celestia stood up clearly in rage again. "Wait wait please hear me out." He said frightened "If you do then we make an oath help you preserve peace in Equestrian." He said. "An exchange then for for you help in protection of my wonderful kingdom." "Yes." "Alright take me to your friends location." Dreadful NightPrincess Celestia had promised to help Spark with his problem in exchange for assistance in protecting Equestria. But it was almost time to rise the moon to shine upon Equestria. "We'll set out tomorrow." Celestia told Spark and Twilight." You all need rest after such a long day." Twilight couldn't disagree today was a long day and she felt exhausted. She looked over at Spark who was still shocked at what happened she watched as he just stared at the ground with heavy eyes. She frowned she knew Spark wasn't a bad person but his history proves it difficult for Celestia to fully trust him. Twilight you'll be staying in Royal guest room. Celestia looked at Spark with a distasteful face and said, "you'll be staying in the servants quarters." Spark only nodded weakly in agreement. Twilight didn't want Spark to sleep in a servants quarter. She wanted him to be comfortable. "Princessant if I may." Twilight asked "Yes." Celestia replied. "I was wondering if... Spark could stay with me." Twilight asked. Celestia looked upset at the request and said. "No, to ensure your safety this... Human must be kept away from you." " But Celestia he's a nice pony who only wishes to be reunited with his friends."Twilight pleded. "No means no." Celestia told Twilight said in a commanding voice. "Guards!" Celestial called. The two guards from before walked in and said "Yes Princess." "Please escort this pony to the servants quarters." "Right away Princess." Both the guards responded as they walked Spark to his quarters. Twilight also proceed to walk to her quarters. She felt gloomy she desperately to wanted Spark to be comfortable. She walked into her quarters, it was beautiful. The bed was big enough to for three longs to sleep in as well as a balcony,dressers, and a gigantic mirror. She crawled into the large bed and covered her face with the pillow she wanted to cry again. Imagining Spark lying in a cold dark room alone. As Spark was was pushed into his quarters he sighed at the sight a dull grey room with one small lit candle on the floor sadly there was not windows either. As Spark continued to survey the room he was devastated to see that there was no bed nor bathroom. "Great just great!" He sarcasticly said. He started to feel like a piece of shit somebody threw at a curb, he felt worthless. He sat in corner and started to sob quietly as he slowly slid onto the floor. He tried to close his eyes but he couldn't the floor was cold ,dirty, and he had no pillow to lay on. Spark sighted as he imagined Twilight comfortable bed. Twilight couldn't take it anymore she had to make sure Spark was alright. She quietly snuck out of the bed carrying a pillow as well a blankets with her. She watches a Spike slept sound fully in his tiny bed. She crept down the stairwell ,and quitetly trotted down the huge hallway looking for Sparks quarters. "Where is he." Twilight whispered. Thankfully she came across a door that held a sign that read do not enter. She slowly opened the to see Spark on the cold hard floor. Spark heard the door open and looked up to see Twilight closing the door. "W-what are you doing here?" Spark asked. "I came to make sure you were comfortable." She said looking around. Well I'm comfortable you can go back to you quarters now." Spark said making a noticeable fake smile. "No you aren't." Twilight said. "Besides I noticed you eye balling the pillow and blanket I brought with me." Spark couldn't help but sigh. "Fine okay I'm not comfortable but I don't want you to get into a lot of trouble." Spark said as he started to sob. Twilight sat next to Spark and slowly stroked his head with her hoof. "It's okay." Twilight whispered. ""Princess Celestia won't get angry shes only trying to keep me safe." She put the pillow under Sparks head and laid down next to him levitating the covers over her and Spark. Spark felt weird as Twilight started to cuddle with him he's never felt like this for a long time. He slowly started to drift into slumber. Twilight looked up at Spark noticing that he's already fallen asleep. Twilight hasn't cuddled with somepony since she was a filly. She remembered always sleeping with her older sibling Shining Armor. This made her fell so imaginable comfortable. She slowly started to drift into asleep. Both Twilight and Spark laid together soundly asleep. New OrdersIt was morning in Equestria once again. Celestia had just rised the sun over the moon. Spark awoke from his slumber. Sadly Twilight had left him. "Probably snuck back to her quarters." He said to himself. Spark stood up, he was getting used to this body. He walked over to the door opening it, he slowly peeked out looking both left and right. "No ones around, I suppose I'll just walk myself out." Twilight had awoken an hour early to get back to her room. Before Princess Celestia rose the sun. She looked at Spark before she left. She smiled as he slept soundly. As she entered her royal quarters she noticed Spike was still asleep in his round bed. She climbed into her bed momentarily falling asleep once again. Spark walked down the long dark hallway hoping to find the day of light. Today's the big day he happily thought. Spark couldn't wait for his fellow soldiers to get revived. Spark finally reached the throne room noticing Celestia wasn't there. Suddenly Spark was take back by a wonderful smell. Must be breakfast he thought excited. Spark follow the smell until, he reached grand dining room. He say as ponies walked back and fourth placing dishes on table. Sparks felt himself drooling. "Spark you awake." Spark was take by surprise, "hey Twilight." He smiled, "smells good what they make." Twilight asked looking around Spark. "Don't know was about to check out. Care to join me?" Spark said with grin "Why I'll be insulted if you didn't." Both Spark and Twilight approached the table awe struck with what lied before them. Their were plates full of pancakes, a basket full of muffins, and a fresh red and green apples. "Looks yummy." Twilight excitingly said. 1 HOUR LATER.... Spark Twilight and Celestia including 4 guards set out to the bunker for the rising of the dead. "So Spark remember what you wanted to show Celestia?" Twilight asked Spark. "Show what," Spark replied confused. Twilight pulled out the folder that Spark took from the bunker before. "Oh yea I forgot about this." Spark said remembering about the folder. "What is it?" Twilight asked. "It's a secret." Spark said with smirk. "Please tell me." Twilight desperately asked. "Look for yourself. He's said levitating the folder over to Twilight. Twilight opened the folder. A blueprint was the first thing she saw inside the folder. She noticed the blueprint held printed words on top which Twilight whispered "M3A3 Bradley." She was confused. She continued looking through the folder until she found a picture. Spark felt an odd sensation. The same sensation when he left the bunker. "We're getting close." The group continued walking until they reached a Red metal door. "This is it." Spark said back looking at Celestia. Princess Celestia felt an odd presence from inside like ponies were watching her. Celestia, Spark, and Twilight walked inside the guards kept their distance. Spark looked at Celestia. "When your ready." Celestia nodded her head. Her horn started to glow a powerful gold Celestia gritted her teeth, she hasn't used this much magic in years. Suddenly her magic disbursed all across the room leaving behind a thick pink cloud. Coughs were heard all across the room. "God fucking danmit, Eddie I told you to control you damn gasses!" A stallion cursed inside the smoke. "Fuck off yer the one with the gas problems!" Retorted a second stallion. Spark instantly recognized the the voices. "CHRIS, EDDIE!" Spark yelled at the top of his lungs. "Spark where in tarnation are ya?" Eddie's voice called out. As the smoke cleared he could make out 36 ponies in the room. Spark noticed that Celestia didn't only bring back Chris and Eddie but also the U.S. Armies fallout survivors. Spark continued surveying the room looking for Eddie and Chris. Spark was confused every resurrected pony had desert colored coats. But with different Army rank cutie marks. "Spark where are you." Spark recognized the voice it belonged to a Chris. Spark stood by the door. "Follow the light!" He jokingly said. He saw two ponies approach the door. He smiled when he saw the 3 Star and a Colonel insignia on both of the stallions flanks. "Spark is that really you!" Chris cried. "Yes it's me!" Spark ran towards both the stallions and proceeded to give them hugs. "I thought I would never see you guys again." Spark let go of the embrace and took a step back "what in the hell happened? And why the hell are we horses?" Chris asked confused. "Long story, but for now I have an announcement to make to the men." Spark proceeded to walk to the middle of the room, he picked up an army ACU cover from the ground and pinned his 4 Star insignia onto the hat and put it on. Celestia and Twilight went outside to give the new ponies space. He motioned one of the Master Sergeants to call the group to attention. In which the sergeant nodded and stood at attention. "ATTEN-TION!" All the ponies in room stood upright and snapped to attention towards the sergeant. "The General would like a word." The sergeant said in a raspy voice. Spark looked towards the group of soldiers and began his speech. "As you all may have noticed you are no longer human. Sadly the great nation who we fought so hard to protect has been destroyed and has been for gotten. We are the only standing piece of our beloved country, but we're fighting for nothing now. We've lost our families, and our sense of purpose in the U.S. Army, but we can still fight for something. Spark sighed. "The United States of America, has been occupied by a peaceful nation called Equestria for millions of years. I asking all of you to consider switching loyalty over to Equestria." All the ponies looked at each other. Including Chris, and Eddie. "I know it sounds wrong. Like General Patton once said." "It's better to fight for something than for nothing." Deep thought went through the the room. "I agree with the General." Spark turned right to see the Master Sergeant looking back at him. "Our time fighting for what we believe no longer means anything I believe we should fight for something new." The crowd erupted into a roar of, "Oohrahs!" The Master SGT gave Spark a hoof salute, Spark returned the salute. The SGT did a right face towards the small army. "DISMISSED! All the soldiers ran around the bunker scavenging what they could. Spark heard the sound of a M16 loading, followed by the sound of a couple of M4's doing the same. Spark looked around as well. He come across the cabinets and proceeded to search them for any important documents. Spark whistled "blueprints and more blueprints." Until he came across a red folder labeled "Emergency Evacuation Plan." He opened the folder to find a paper labeled. "Major Military Weapons Storage." And found a map labled. "Emergency Regroup Plan." The showed parts the country labeled. "Government Fallout #'s." One was located in New York and marked as "U.S. Marines fallout." Spark quickly went over to Chris and Eddie. "Guys look there's other Military fallout shelters including a munitions storage." "What's the closes fallout shelter?" Eddie asked. "In New York, Marines are held up there." "I'm more interested in the storage." Chris jokingly said. "We can deal with that later." Spark said sarcastically. "But I don't wanna save the Marines, there douche's when it's comes to the army." Chris complained. "Remember that video I showed you way before we got locked up here?" Spark remembered the Marines embarrassing themselves to mock the army. Still it was pretty funny. (Video) Spark saw a pistol next to his hoof. Sparks jaw flew open. He picked up the pistol "O hell yes!" Spark was excited at the sight of the beautiful silver Desert Eagle. He picked up an leg hostler and immediately put the pistol hostler. Spark noticed some of his men trying to put on their old ACU's. Surprisedly it fit them, so he decided to go over to his corpse and pull the ACU from it. "Still fits." He smirked. Chris and Eddie proceeded to do the same. "Alright fuckers it's time to move our asses out!" Eddie yelled. All the soldiers exited the building enjoying the fresh air and sun. Princess Celestia and Twilight were awestruck. They didn't expect for there to be a mini army of soldiers. She watched as Spark walked up to Celestia, and gave her a salute. We wish to transfer our loyalty over to Equestria. Spark said formally. Celestia only nodded. "As you wish." Spark dropped his salute, and turned around to his men. "Alright let's move to the temporary FOB. 1 HOUR LATER..... Spark saw as his men gazed at the castles interior with awe. Celestia gave them permission to construct a FOB next to Canterlot. Which Spark would have to supervise just in case the men get rowdy. They were told to set up temporary bunks in the ball room till they get the FOB completed. "Celestia!" Spark called out. "Yes?" Celestial responded. Spark showed Celesrtia the blueprint for the Bradley. And explained if she could somehow could produce the IFV. Chris and Eddie were waiting for the response from Celestial from Spark, he walked up to them. "Well I have good news and bad news." "What?" Both Chris and Eddie said. "The good news is she knows people who can produce the parts." "The bad news is that is that the people or 'ponies' aren't here in Canterlot. but in Manehattan, and we'll have to find the ammunition for them. Also we need to build the computer systems ourselves." "Err what was that that part about Manehattan, don't you mean Manhattan?" "Yep." "Doesn't the similarities scare you a little." Chris nervously smiled. "Well look at the bright side we get to travel to New York to look for the shelter after we deliver these blueprints." "Guess your right, still can't believe you want to resurrect those damn Marines." Chris sighed. "Stop your complaining." Spark said annoyed. Thus, Spark, Chris, and Eddie began their journey to Manehattan. MarinesAfter she had arranged a transport for Spark, and his squad. We were to take a train to Manehattan. Sadly it was a public ride I was expecting a private ride, but still it's nothing to complain over. The train itself was a strain to the males eye pink wasn't what you'd expect someone in the military to ride in. The interior was that of an 1800's train, and top it all off Chris was complaining about a colt bucking his seat I swear, next time he complains I'm gonna smack him across his damn face. Chris sighed as the colt constantly kicked his seat. "Spark he's doing it again." Chris whispered. "Danmit I told you to shut it." Spark whispered back. Chris only sighed at leaned against the window, he surprised at how lush the grass, and trees were. It was a view you would rarely see back in his time. *KICK* *KICK* "UGH" Chris grunted, "Spa-" Sparks horn lit up and a Crack was all that was heard. Chris eyes widened, and he quickly looked behind his seat, only to see the colt eating a carrot. Cris sighed in relief, "Spark don't ever do that again you've scarred me shitless." "Maybe next time you'll stop complaining." Spark narrowed his eyes at Chris. Luckily for Eddie his situation was quite relaxing he had a whole seat to himself, he even fell asleep. The train ride was to arrive at its destination in about 9 hours. "So, Spark what do you feel like doing." Chris asked. "How about about you go ask if they have pillows." Spark sarcastically responded. Chris only sighed and continued out the window. He saw birds flying by his window, every once in a while giving him quick glances. Well at least I'm not sitting next to some fat slob he tried to positively say to himself. "Hey Chris I'm gonna look for a bathroom." Spark said and quickly left. As Spark approached what seemed to be a bathroom only to see it switched to occupied. "Danmit it's occupied." He cursed under his breath. Luckily for him the pony come out of the bathroom. Spark gave the pony a quick glance and his jaw fell completely to the floor. "Holy mother of god." Spark watched the whale sized pony walked out. He stumbled to quickly get inside the bathroom. Chris felt the cart shake. "What the." The cart started to shake more as if a giant was walking next to the train. "Hey is this seat taken?" Chris looked towards the voice only to whimper at what stood before him. "U-Uh Yes." Chris said frightened. "Was that a no?" Asked the pony. "Yes Yes it's taken!" Chris yelled. "No alright scoot over." The pony began to sit down on the chair, a shadow of the ponies rump consumed him, his eyes grew smaller he saw his life flash before his eyes. Chris let out a yelp before the pony sat down. Chris was instantly pushed against the window, he sworn he heard a bone crack after the giant pony sat next to him. Spark had just finished using the bathroom and proceeded to walk back to his seat only to witness the pony he saw earlier asleep on his seat. He could hear whimpers coming from the pony. "Well I guess I'll sit next to Eddie then." Spark sat next to Eddie noticing how comfortable this seat was. "Wow I should have sat here a long time ago." Spark felt his eye lids start to heavy, promptly falling asleep. Spark was awoken by the tugging of Eddie. "We're almost there." Spark saw sky scrapers appear over the horizon. "About time." Spark sighed. "Where's Chris?" Eddie asked, Spark pointed towards the still sleeping pony. "Oh err okay then. Well we better start getting read, don't want to be the last ones waiting to get out would we." Spark couldn't wait to get today over with. The train began to slow down until the train completely stoped everypony in the cart stood up, and proceeded to walk to the exit. Except the still sleeping monstrosity of a pony. Spark poked the pony with his hoof only to get a giggle out of the pony. Spark poked the pony again the ponies eyes fluttered open. "Where am I?" "Your in Manehattan." Spark Replied. "O really? Thanks mister for waking me up!" The pony sat up and proceeded to walk out with the others, only leaving a sweat drenched Chris hissing at the sudden beams of sunlight. "Water you waiting for lets go Chris." Spark, and Eddie laughted at the pun. Chris slowly slid off the seat I-Is that thing gone?" Chris asked traumatized. "Yes 'its' gone now cmon we don't have all day." Chris stumbled onto the ground wrapping his hoof over his arm. Spark inspected Chris's arm, "hmmm that doesn't look normal buddy." Chris gave Spark an angry glare, a bone had been broken upon impact of the ponies oversize ass. "Don't worry about it I'm sure Celestia could repair your squashed arm." "Alright first things first, let's get these blueprints over to the factory, then comes the Marines." The city itself looked exactly like New York even the statue is similar to the Statue of Liberty. As all three walked the streets of Manehattan, venders were a common sight, Including cabs which Spark thought was weird since they were pulled by ponies. "Hey Spark, do you think we can grab something to eat while we're here?" Chris asked. They haven't eaten since they left Canterlot, which was in the morning. "I suppose we could, but we have to keep it cheap, I only brought 150 bits." Spark replied. Chris looked around looking for somewhere to stop and refuel their stomaches, their were an abundant amounts of restaurants ranging from pizza from "hay burgers?" Chris's thought was cut off at the sound of hay burgers. Well I guess it made sense since we were herbivores now, I wonder if they taste good. "Hey let's try that place." Chris pointed towards the restaurant. "Really Christopher hay burgers...." "I told you not to call me Christopher." Chris scowled at Spark. "Whatever." Spark rolled his eyes. The team crossed the street over to the restaurant, Spark pushed the door open with his hoof. "It actually smells pretty good." Spark noticed ponies looking at him gasping which came with whispers, he only ignoredChris it, and approached the counter, the pony behind the counter appeared to be a high schooler with various zits around his face. "Hello welcome to Dipplies, home of the world famous hay burgers, may I take your order?" The pony said a sloppy tone. Spark looked over the menu. "May I have the home style burger with a large shake!" Chris yelled from behind Spark. "I'll take a hay burger with a medium cup of water." Eddie asked. "And I'll have a double hay burger with a large cup of water please." Spark ordered. "Okay sir that'll be 20 bits." Spark levitated the bits onto the counter. "Hear ya go." Spark said. "Thank you sir, your hay burgers will be done shortly." The cashier said while sliding over a number to him. Spark had found a table next to a window, Spark noticed again as ponies stared at him, and only him. "Guys why is everyone looking at me?" "What do ya mean?" Asked Eddie. "Look around." Eddie looked around the restaurant, sure enough he noticed everypony in the room looking at Spark. "You must be popular or something." Chris chuckled, Spark only smiled. "Here you go sir." A mare worker placed the food onto the table, and took the number with her. As Spark was about to give the hay burger a bite, he felt someone tug on his right wing, Spark was surprised to see a young colt looking back at Spark. "Hello there." Spark said to the colt. "Hi! Are you a Prince?" The colt smiled, Spark was dumbfounded by the response "No, I'm not a prince." "But your an alicorn." Spark thought for a second, everypony must think he's royalty great. "Well well Sparky's a prince." Chris laughed. Spark only scowled at him and punched his injured arm. "Oww, the hell was that for???" "Don't act like a jackass." "What its pretty funny your highness." Spark ignored his response, and watched as the colt ran off likely back to his family, or friends. After about an hour or we the three officers exited the restaurant with slightly enlarged abdomens. "That was pretty good shit." A satifised Chris said. "Can't disagree with you." Replied Eddie. "We still have a mission to do, so cmon." Spark commanded. The walk took around 30 mins to reach the factory. The factory itself produced metals used to support the building in Manehattan, when Spark meet with the factory operator he gave the plans over to him, and was told that it would take 4 weeks for the parts to be made, and 2 days to be shipped to Canterlot. "That's one objective complete." Spark said relieved. "Alright Marines." Spark said as he pulled out a map. Chris only sighed. "Alright so the location of bunker no.4 is located in the outskirts of Manehattan." "So we call a cab?" Asked Chris. "I suppose we should it's gonna be quite the walk." He said while still looking at the map. "Alright let's get a move on." Spark said folding the map. They begun looking for any empty cabs which luckily didn't take long. The ride took about 20 mins to reach the outskirts of the city. "Thanks for the ride." Spark said as he levitated 10 bits over to the stallion pulling the cab. "Anytime." The stallion said as he trotted off looking for anymore ponies. "Alright it should be somewhere north of us." Spark said pointing north, as they walked north they discovered a hill, which Spark suspected to be the bunker, as he approached it he began to use his magic to drill downward till he found the entrance, Spark sighed in relief. "This is it are you guys ready?" Eddie said 'Yes' while Chris said 'No' Spark tried opening the metal door to no avail, luckily he could easily force it open, Spark gripped onto the door and pulled as hard as he could, surprisingly once he did that it sent the door flying as if it was wooden. The three entered the bunker, Spark felt the same sensation when we first left the bunker he was stationed at, he could feel people watching him. "Alright Celestia taught me how to preform the spell." Spark said. "It's it easy?" Asked Eddie. "Yes, but I need you guys to take cover." Chris, and Eddie did what Spark said. Spark went into deep concentration, he felt magic emit from his horn, he felt his muscles tense as well as his heart rate. *BOOM* The magic dispersed in a bubble spreading across the room leaving smoke behind. Celestia had told him that it would cause a heavy loss in energy, but he felt fine as if the energy taken was very little. He heard coughing all over the bunker. "Colonel Phoenix are you alright!?" Yelled a stallion. "Yes yes I'm alright." Come a mares voice in return. As the smoke cleared Spark could make out ponies every where in the bunker. He noticed they were all the same. With dark green coats and eyes, and with USM ranks. The smoke cleared reveiling shocked Marines looking at each other taking in their new features until they set their eyes on the three desert colored ponies, Spark noticed one move towards him, it was a mare with a Colonel insignia on her flank, when she got closer she noticed the 4 star insignia on my cover, and the 3 stars on Chris's flank, and went instantly to attention saluting which was followed by the rest of the corps. "Sir!" She yelled in a formal voice. "At ease." And the ponies dropped the salute and began muttering amongst themselves. "We'll look who came to our rescue." She chuckled "didn't think the army would be saving our sorry asses." Spark chuckled. "Are you the commanding officer?" Spark asked. "Yes, but not the original CO." She said looking downward. "What do you mean?" Spark asked confused. "Our 3 star General never made it to the bunker in time...." She said with sadness in her voice. "I'm sorry to hear that Colonel." Spark said with senserity. "It's alright, he was a great man, he didn't have to die out there." She sighed, but looked up at Spark and said, "What's the current situation outside, Sir." Spark replied, "That's what I've been meaning to talk to you, and your Marines about, but first gather up as much as you guys can carry weapons, ammo, and whatever files are in those cabinets," he pointed his hoof at the 3 align cabinets "also your MCCUU's should fit your body well. After a few minutes of gathering every pony was sitted in the middle of the room, Spark counted 39 Marines sitting in the room, "Alright listen up as you all may have not noticed y'all ain't human no more, therefore leading me to say that we've been dead for millions of years and the United States of America no longer exists." The Marines exchanged glances at each other, "But it has been inhabited by a peaceful nation called Equestria you all will soon meet the leader of this nation, and y'all will have a choice, but for now we need to get moving towards the capital of Equestria. The Marines nodded in agreement, and began exiting the bunker, they all gasped when they saw the city close by. It was gonna be a long day for these Marines Spark thought, but their probely not gonna take the exchange of loyalty kindly. Still I have hope for them.... Mind Over MatterComplete darkness filled Sparks mind, after he passed out probably because of shock, he felt himself floating in an empty room, voices whispered to him he felt pain surge through his body it was like a nightmare that could destroy a mans sanity with the flick of a switch. "No" he thought quietly to himself causing all the voices to drop dead silent, as if they were expecting him to say something. "I-I am not afraid, I will not fall into the abyss in which darkness upholds." Spark said aimlessly in his dream, which was followed by a growl that surrounded his entire mind. "Don't try to hide what you fear, as I assure you it will be your undoing." It grunted. Suddenly he felt himself being pulled towards a spinning portal. Spark woke up with a grunt scratching his head with his 'Fingers?' Spark looked around his surroundings, he wasn't awake, but in a memory of his childhood. "What the hell?" He said to himself he noticed a very familiar room, he was in his old bedroom. "Impossible." He said. "Stand you! And observe." The familiar voice he heard earlier grunted. "What do you mean? Get out of my damn head!" Spark screamed in his high pitched voice. "Sorry to disappoint you human, but your 'marefriend' caused this." The voice stated. "What?" "When she blasted me it caused my soul to disconnect from reality; furthermore, causing my soul to connect with the closest living being, which in that case was you." It said. "Besides its quite cozy in here with all these dark memories of yours." It sighed happily, Spark felt his blood boil. How a dare a demon burrow inside of his soul. "Relax." It said. "Just think of me as a second personality." "Wait what's that supposed to mean?" Spark said confused, suddenly his hand moved itself smacking him across the face. "Damnit stop that!" His hand went limp, and he regained control. "Y-you can take over my mind!?" Spark said angrily. "Duh, but don't worry pup, only when you undergo extreme shock or fear, well except for your dreams." It said. "But how is that possible?" Spark asked. "Well let's just say I hijacked one of your personalities. I must say though your warrior side feels awesome!" It said excitedly. Spark gulped, he knew where this was going. "In simple terms, I'm your new psychopathic killer side!" Confetti explode around Spark at the end of the sentence. Spark was gonna protest until he was stopped by a voice he hasn't heard since, well he was a child. "Sparky honey, breakfast is ready!" His mother called. "M-Mom!?" Spark said dumbfounded. "Well enjoy cause after this the real fun begins." The voice laughed and disappeared. "Wait what do you mean fun?" Silence. "Damnit answer me!" Silence. "Fuck!" "Sparky hurry your pancakes are getting cold!" His mom called. "Okay mommy be right down." He said. "Mommy?" The word slipped out on its own, he ran down his houses stairs, until he reached his kitchen. "Sparky! How was you sleep. "It was great mom!" He happily said, he forgot how strange how his mom would call him Sparky even though it was based off his last name. "I made your favorite dear." She said. "Awesome thanks mom!" He sat on the chair and began stuffing himself with the pancakes. "If only your father were here, he'd loved my pancakes." She sighed. "Mommy why did dad leave to the Army?" He asked. "It's hard to explain dear, I may not even know the answear myself." She sadly said. "Well, don't worry mom I'll never leave your side!" Spark said. "I know you won't dear." She said with more sadness in her voice. "Good thing he's on leave." *KNOCK KNOCK* "Huh, wonder who that is?" Sparks mother said, she left the kitchen to go answer the door. Spark quickly followed, but peeking behind the couch, she answered the door to find two Military soldiers heavily decorated standing there. Spark heard his mother gasp. "Is this the residents of Major Sparks?" Asked the one of the men. "Y-yes." She said. "Sorry to inform you ma'am, but your husband has been killed in action." Spark saw his mom knell down, and began to sob uncontrollably. "D-dads dead?" He thought to himself, he quickly stood up from where he was hiding and ran up stairs, and into his room, he laid on his bed sobbing uncontrollably, suddenly Spark felt himself slowly raise from the bed, he saw as he floated away from the sobbing child. And disappear with a bright white flash. "GAHH!" He woke up again noticing this time he was on a vibrating surface wearing an oxygen mask and a full battle gear, and a parachute inside a C-130 "JUMP IN 10!" A voice said over the PA, Spark noticed someone grab his shoulder, and said. "Ready up Spark it's gonna be a hot one." Spark looked over his shoulder and said. "Nothin to hot for us Chris." He smirked, Chris patted his shoulder and stood next to him. "We'll see how these Russians play." He said. "May God have mercy on our miserable souls, and enemies cause I won't." Chris said into the comms, Chris got a few chuckles, and amens. "JUMP ON GREEN!" The operation commander yelled over the comms. Spark and Chris looked at each other, and nodded. The entire interior lit in a bright green indicating we were go for jump. Spark ran as fast as he could out the rear cargo door, and jumped. Spreading out his four limbs. "Heavy fire incoming!" One of the soldiers yelled over the comms. Spark felt his heart pumping insanity fast, and his breathing was all he heard in his mask. Suddenly trails of large caliber bullets started to wiz past the jumpers. "Watch for inco-GAHHH!" One of the soliders screamed before his comms dropped dead. "Open shoots in 3 mins!" Chris yelled to Spark. "10-4" he replied. Spark tried his best to avoid incoming fire, which he lucky did. "OPEN SHOOTS NOW!" Chris yelled. Spark pulled open the shoot, and landed successfully, he quickly ran into cover under fire from a 50 Cal. he watched as an unlucky soldier got his body torn in half under the fire of the 50 Cal. "Frag out!" Someone yelled as the machine guns nest blew to pieces, Spark quickly ran towards a destroyed building, and took cover. "Chris what's your status." He yelled over the comms. "I'm alright landed a little closer than I expected, but I got it under control." He replied over the comms. "Good to hear bud." Spark looked outside an broken window to see several Russian infantry units shooting from behind cover. He took a couple of pot shots with his M4 killing 3 Russians. "есть один в этом здании!" One the Russians yelled pointing towards him, "Guess that's my que to leave." He said as he quickly stood up, and ran out the back door of the building seconds later the place he once stood in was turned into a pile of rubble as a rocket was launched inside. Spark looked around for cover. "Spark over here!" Spark turned his head to see Chris behind a boulder, he quickly ran towards the boulder and sat next to me o Chris. "Fuck me their more prepared than we expected." Chris said. "You can say that again." Spark replied. Spark looked over the edge to see a wounded soldier hiding behind a ditch. "Hey we got wounded to our right." He said to Chris. "Cover me!" Spark said. "10-4" Chris responded, Spark ran towards the wounded man while Chris provided covering fire. Spark kneeled over the wounded man. "Hey soldier can you hear me?" The man nodded weakly. "What's your injury?" The man removed his hand from his stomach and blood proceeded to gush out. "Fuck!" He yelled as he applied pressure on the wound. "Chris I'm gonna need you over here ASAP!" Spark screamed over the comms. "10-4!" He replied. "What's your name soldier?" Spark asked. "E-Eddie." He gaged out blood as he said his name. "Don't worry Eddie your gonna live." He assured him, Spark saw as Chris ran towards them, and watched in horror as a bullet hit him on his side. Time froze as blood burst from Chris's wound and lay suspended in the air. "Fear, fear, and more fear." The familier voice said. "Spark looked around, and said "Look who decided to crawl back." Spark chuckled. "You never finished answering my damn questions." "Pfff, I hate questions." The voice said. "But I'll answer them just for you." The voice sighed. "First of all why are you putting me into dreams?" Spark asked. "Because, it's entertaining to watch!" It said, Spark only huffed at his response. "Second, what's your name." Their was a short silence before it spoke again. "Timethean, but you can call me Tim." Tim responded. "Alright 'Tim' can you get me outta here?" Spark asked. "Sure thing!" Spark felt himself fall through a black hole in the ground, before being completely surrounded in darkness. Spark woke up again observing his surroundings, he was glad to see he was a pony, but noticed it where he was looked very familiar. "O man Sparks this is the funniest dream yet!" Tim laughed, Spark noticed he was outside princess Celestia's throne room. "Oh no not this again." Spark said putting his hoof over his face. "How did you get you ass handed to you by Princess Sun butt?" Tim continued to laugh. "Don't worry I know how to make it more fun." Tim laughed evilly. "Cmon Spark so you can meet the Princess. "O yea sorry lets go." Spark knew where this was going for Tim. "Princess Celestia!" Twilight bowed. "Ahh Twilight my faithful student!" Spark noticed the voice of Celestia was replaced by Tims. "Oh no why did you bring this very bad pony to my castle." Tim said, Spark felt his tail get pulled up by an unseen force and levitated upside down over to Celestia/Tim. "Ponies like you should be taught a lesson." As Spark was about to cus out Tim, he saw a paddle being levitated over to him. He immediately started thrashing about to to break free. "There's no escaping!" Tim laughed, Spark saw the the paddle hover over his hindquarters. "Any last words?" Tim asked. Spark gave Tim a scowl. "I fucking hate y- AH!" Spark Shouted as the holed paddle impacted his hindquarters. "Damnit Tim!" Spark shouted. "AHH!" Spark screamed againas the paddle made contact again. This happened for several minutes until Tim bored himself out. "Okay I think I'm done." Tim said. "Well Sparky I hoped you learned your lesson." Tim said as he dropped Spark into a hole in the floor. "I think my funs over for now Sparks, but I'll be in your head and don't expect me to be quiet." Tim said. As he continued falling he saw light appear under him, and got brighter as he continued to fall. *GASP* Spark woke up looking around weakly, he felt pain surge through his body. "Should have warned ya your gonna be in a hella amount of pain." Tim said chuckling in his mind. Blood in the EverfreeThe ride back to Canterlot was an insane one, especially when you have a train cart full of Marines, it was like a cusing contest or something, well at least I bought a private cart with dinning tables, Spark saw Eddie hoof wrestling with a group of Marines. "Cmon Danny! You can do it!" Spark noticed that the Marine was sweating, while Eddie just looked the Marine straight in the eyes without a single drop of sweat. The Marine finally gave up, and Eddie slammed his hoof onto the table. "Did you really lost to this punk." The Marines turned towards the mares voice, and saw Colonel Phoenix. "Let me show you how's it's really done." The Marine quickly left his seat in which she occupied. Eddie smirked, he knew she was gonna be a tough nut to crack, he's rarely seen a women officer in the Marines, let alone a Colonel. "Alright, you ready to eat some shit?" She taunted Eddie. He only chuckled, and said, "What are you talking about? I'm not the one with the brown smear on my lip." The Marines erupted into a roar of 'OOOO'. Eddie saw Phoenix's eye start to twitch, "Well shit. I just broke her." He thought. "That little cunt." Phoenix thought angrily, she placed her right foreleg onto the table forming a V, Eddie did the same, but with his left foreleg. "Ready go!" At that instant, they both began pushing against each other's hoofs, the battle was in favor of Eddie, but noticed his hoof being slowly pushed opposite to where he was pushing, indicating that Phoenix wasn't ready to lose to a cunt like him. "Geez calm down, before you break yer hoof." Eddie smirked. "We'll see who's hoof breaks first cowboy." She said with a returned smirk. Eddie felt a little drop of sweat roll down the side of his head, Phoenix herself felt the same sensation of sweat rolling down the side of her head. "Cmon Phoenix you can do it!" Yelled a Marine. "Yea, don't lose to a Army scumbag like him." Yelled another Marine. "Why you calling an officer a scumbag?" Eddie scowled at the Marine. "Errr sorry, sir I got a little carried away." He chuckled nervously. "You jar heads never learn." Eddie laughed. Spark watched as the hoof wrestling continued, he noticed Chris looking outside the window with his head against it, holding onto his injured left foreleg with his right. "What's th matter with you?" Spark Asked. "What do you think? I had my arm squashed by a fucking fat ass equine! How do you think I'm feeling!?" Chris said with fury in his voice. Spark only started to laugh, Chris rolled his eyes, and laid his head against the window again. "Don't worry you cry baby, we're gonna go somewhere that I know you'll enjoy." "What place can possibly lighten my mood." Chris huffed. Spark smiled, and laid a map across their table, revealing the map used to find the Marines. Chris noticed Manehattan crossed with a red X, and a place called Ponyville circled, and labeled 'Munitions Storage'. "See I knew you'd be happy." Spark chuckled. "Who wouldn't." Chris replied. "When do we head over there?" Chris asked. "Gotta ask Twilight for Intel on the place." Spark replied. Chris looked outside and noticed Canterlot appear over the horizen. "Looks like we're almost there." *THUD* Both Spark, and Chris looked back, and saw Eddie celebrating his victory over Phoenix. "Aha you ain't got shit on me!" Eddie yelled. Phoenix only growled, Eddie trotted over to Spark, and Chris."So what's the plan?" He asked. "Well we're gonna head to the Storage next, but I'm gonna ask Twilight for Intel surrounding it." Spark replied. "Cool sounds like a plan." Phoenix trotted over to the group, giving Eddie a huff of anger. "So what's I hear about a storage depot?" She asked. "Well like I was telling these three, we're gonna head over to a munitions storage later today." He answered. "Well that sounds fun." She said. "Also, I might need a few manpower to help in the recovery." "Don't worry I'll get a few of my boys to help ya out. Plus I'll be going with y'all." She replied. The train began to slow down, as it inched closer to the station, until it came to a complete stop. "We're here! Tell your men to grab all their gear, and regroup outside the train." Spark told Phoenix, "10-4." After a few minutes of duffle bags being thrown outside the train, everyone was waiting for further orders. "Alright, form in behind me to the castle." Spark commanded, everyone looked dumbfounded. "Castle, sir?" One of the Marines asked. "Yes a castle, but don't worry There's a FOB under construction." He reassured them. "But for now the castle is home base." The Marines still looked unsure about the situation of their soon to be living conditions, but didn't think much of it. "Let's get moving Marines!" Spark yelled. "HOORAH!" They shouted, as they picked up their gear, and followed Spark. It was a magical March to the castle, both Phoenix, and her Marines awed, and gasped at the medieval style structures. "This place is fucking rad!" One of the Marines yelled, Spark smirked he knew they'd have this sort of reaction. After about a 15 mins, they reached the castle gates. Which the guards quickly opened. "Afternoon, Sir!" One said holding the gate open at attention. "At ease." Spark replied, the guards closed the gates after, they went through. "What was that about?" Chris asked. "Don't know. Must have seen my insignia." Spark replied. "Same rank system then?" He said. "I suppose so." After entering another large set of doors, and down the massively large hallway to the throne room. Two guards on both sides of the door to the throne stood at attention promptly opening the door with magic. The Marines expressions were priceless. "How in the fuck!?" One of the Marines questioned. "Magic" Spark said sarcastically. The Marine just sighed, the throne room was empty surprisingly. "I wonder where everyone is" Spark thought. "Alright, Eddie show Phoenix and her soldiers to the ball room will ya." Phoenix gave Eddie a sly grin, he only signed and proceed to follow out his order. "I wonder how construction is going." Chris said. "Let's check shall we." Spark replied. Spark was surprised to see that the 'FOB' was literally a next to the castle, Spark noticed several construction ponies working on a barracks, including a concrete structure. Spark noticed a ponie trotting wearing an Army ACU towards him, and Chris. "Hello, sir glad you finally made it back!" The pony smiled saluting. "At ease Sergeant." Spark said. "How construction going?" "Awesome, we finally finished the foundation a day ago." He said. "Good to hear! By the way you might wanna expand the living quarters." Spark said observing the barracks that's being build. "Yes, sir!" The sergeant replied turning around to head back to the construction site before, Spark stopped him. "Wait before, you head back do you know where Twilight is?" Spark asked. "Oh, you mean Miss Sparkle. Yes, she's with Princess Celestia in the dinning room." He replied. "Thanks soldier, resume your duties." "Aye, sir." He said promptly leaving back to work. "I better go an supervise them." Chris said leaving Spark alone. Spark reentered the castle wondering the unknown corridors in hopes of finding the dinning hall "Note to self, memorize castles interior." Spark said to himself, he finally got the hint of where the room was after getting smacked in the face by the smell of food be cooked, and prepared. Finally, he was lead to the room by the smell, he slowly opened the door to peak inside, thankfully he saw Twilight, and Celestia sitting opposite of each other discussing something, he knocked on the wooden door and entered. Both, Twilight and Celestia snapped their heads towards the door. "Spark your back!" Twilight screamed in joy. "Nice to see, you to." Spark said rubbing the back of his head. "Anyway, I need your help." He said. "My help?" She tilted her head in confusion. "Yes, I need information about a town." He answered. "Sure! Whatever you need. Please take a seat." She said pointing towards the table. "Okay thanks." Spark sat across from where Celestia was sitting. "Let me just go fetch my writing equipment, and a map okay." Twilight smiled leaving the room, leaving a awkward silence between him, and Celestia. "Soooo how's it goin." Spark said smiling, Celestia gave Spark a glance and said. "Good I suppose, I hope my resurrection spell was of good use to you." Celestia said in her peaceful tone. "Yea it was." Spark replied. Another wave of silence swept over them. Finally, Celestia broke the silence once more, but saying something that completely took him by surprise. "I know how Twilight feels about you." She said. "What?" He states confused, she laughted and said. "Don't act dumb with me, I know you have feeling for her, I can sense it." Sparks eyes widened, and he blushed. "If any harm comes to her because of you. Don't expect me to go easy on you." Celestia said making a grin. Spark couldn't help but gulp. "I'm back, you two." Twilight said as she walked through the the wooden doors. "Hey waz up, Twilight!" Spark smiled. "Welcome back Twilight, but I must apologize I must be off to preform my royal duties." Celestia said sadly. "Ar-are you sure?" Twilight asked. "Yes, but don't worry I'll be back before lunch." Celestia reassured her. "Okay whatever you say." Twilight sighed, she watched as Celestia opened the door with magic and closed it behind her. "So, Spark what did you want to know?" She asked. "Oh uh I need info about a town called 'Ponyville'." He said. Twilight's eyes opened wide. "That's where I live!" She smiled. "Really? Cool so, you must know everything about it. Yes?" He responded. "You bet ya." She giggled. "Anyway. Yes, I live their, and know AlMOST everything." She said. "Okay then pass me a map, and a marker please." He said. Twilight levitated him a map including a red marker. Spark then proceeded to use his magic to circle a specific area in the town, he noticed Twilights smile fade to a frown, and the look of fear filled her eyes. "What's wrong." Spark asked concerned. "Well the area you just highlighted is a place called the 'Everfree Forest' the most evil, corrupt place in all of Equis!" She yelled making a fearful frown. "Wait.... Please tell your not planning on going inside!" She gasped. "Don't worry I'll be alright plus, I have to reclaim what was left behind in the forest." Sparked stated. "We-well I'm coming with you!" She yelled. "What why??? You just said it was the most dangerous place on Ear-Equis!" He tapped his hoof on the table with every word. "Well I don't care! I can't stand thinking of you getting hurt." She crossed her forehoofs, Spark sighed. "Well if you get hurt then it's my fault for bringing you." "Well you don't have to worry, because I'll just invite myself!" She countered. "Plus, it's not like somepony is gonna hunt you down to the ends of Equis over injuring myself." She said, Spark felt a shiver go down his spine. Celestia will." He whispered to himself. "What was that?" Twilight asked. "Nothin!" He said lying. "Well like I said, Im with you wether you like it or not." She made it crystal clear. "Fine, but don't go getting yourself killed will ya." He sighed. 2 HOURS LATER........ After about a few hours Spark had assembled a small scavanger team, consisting of 10 Army soldiers, and 10 Marines, including Eddie, Chris, Spark, Phoenix, and Twilight. Each member has a M16 fully armed and loaded. "General Sparks! We have a problem." An Army solider said to Spark. "What is it sergeant." Spark replied. The sergeant pulled out his M16, and pointed towards the trigger. "No fingers." He simply said. "Fuck I forgot about that that..." Spark thought for a minute until, he came up with a solution. "It's simple just remove the trigger guard." The sergeant smaked himself in the face for not comeing up with such a simple solution. The team then unscrewed the bolts holding the trigger guard to the rifles, Spark did the same thing to his Desert Eagle. "Everyone ready?" Spark asked. "Yes, sir!" All the soldiers yelled, Twilight just nodded. "Alright let's move." 3 HOURS LATER...... After a 3 hour long train ride. They reached the Ponyville train station. "Alright this way to the outskirts of the forest!" Twilight yelled. "Okay." Spark replied, they followed Twilight to the forest. The closer they got the more he regretted bringing Twilight along for the operation. "Here we are." Twilight said with fear in her voice, Spark looked at the sun, and his shadow it was around 1800 hours. "Alright, team we got a mission to do! Be prepared for hostile engagement, and look for any suspicious structures." Spark yelled. "Yes,sir!" The team walked into the forest following a dirt path. Spark couldn't help, but shiver to the eerie noise the forest emitted. It was like a the trees were growling, and breathing heavily. The sun set faster than he expected it to. "Lights on." He commanded, everyone's TAC lights went on from their rifles. Spark felt his heart pump, he also felt Twilight's body touch him as they walked through the forest obviously out of fear of separating from the group. Suddenly he saw glowing mushrooms emitting a green color along with a completely darkened forest which absorbed the light from the TAC lights, he felt as if they were being watched. Suddenly the lead sergeant raised a hoof signaling them to stop. "D-do you guys hear that???" They all suddenly began to listen to their surrounding. He suddenly heard as if demonic like music began to play, (Song) he then noticed deep voices start to mutter strange words, until it turned into a sort of dubstep song. "G-guys I don't like this." A Marine said. "Get a hold of yourself Marine!" Phoenix yelled. "Do we have visual on the source of the music?" Spark said. "Negative, sir!" One the soldiers said. "Be prepared for an ambush!" Spark warned, Spark heard Twilight muttering something while shaking uncontrollably. "What's wrong Twilight???" Spark asked worried. "Blood in the Everfree." She said. "What?" Spark asked confused. "Blood in the Everfree." She said again. "Twilight!" He said in a higher tone, he waved a hoof In front of Twilight getting no response. "T-Twilight..." He shakily said, she slowly turned her head towards him with dilated pupils. "Blood will be spilled in the Everfree." She said. "W-What?" He said, she slowly placed a hoof to his chest, and said. "They want your blood to be felt across the Everfree." She said giggling. "Th-They.....w-want.....Y-you.......NOW!!!" She screamed sending a shockwave across the surrounding brush sending everyone to the ground, her horn lit a crimson red as, she dragged Spark to the middle of the forest clearing, she lowered her head to Spark's face until their noises touched each other. "T-Twilight what has gotten into you! Please stop this!!!" He screamed as he felt something pinch his stomach area. "Don't worry.... The pain will be all gone soon." She calmly said as, she gave Spark a kiss on the lips, he squinted in pain as he felt a warm liquid flow from his stomach to the ground, he opened his eyes to meet Twilights he felt his heart race as he saw her eyes turn from a beautiful purple to white pupils surrounded in a completely black eyes. "ARGGHH!!!" He screamed as he felt some sort of claw enter, his body through his bleeding stomach. "AHHH!!!" He screamed in pain, he saw Twilight laugh demonically. Suddenly he felt something grab his bottom legs and start to slowly bend them, he heard a sick crack as bones from his leg began to give out under the pressure, he gritted his teeth warm tears falling from his eyes to the ground. "No need to cry SPARK!" Twilight said. He was sobbing out of pain. "P-please stop I beg you!!! ARGH!" He felt the claw twist inside of him as he pleaded for mercy. More blood rushed out of his wound, he felt as his fore legs were grasped by an unseen force, and slowly began to bend in places they shouldn't be soon to meet the same fate as his bottom legs, Spark saw in horror as a spear shaped rock was levitated over to his face surrounded in a crimson aura. "Time for your medicine!" Twilight giggled as, she forced Sparks mouth open. "Open wide this will only take a minute." She said. "I wonder if I could pull this out from your stomach." She grinned evilly, as she forced the rock into his mouth, and down his throat, Spark coughed the rock out which was followed by blood. "N-No more p-please..." Spark pleaded. "Why should I? The children love you!" Twilight said. "They want MORE suffering!" She said. Spark whimpered as one wing was Forcefully spread open. "My little death angel." She laughed as, she slowly ran a hoof through it. Spark felt, Twilight's hoof rubbing his wing, he knew she was looking for the most effective use of toture as long as it got him to suffer. "Ah, I know wing amputation!" She smiled in glee. "But it has to be slow, and painful and I know the perfect tool." She said levitating a very dull rock the size of a hoof over his exposed wing. "Let's play a game." She said. "Every scream of agony costs your wing its life." She said looking over his body, Spark was now panting heavily which would show, his rib cage after every Breath. "Perfect!" She said happily, he suddenly felt a pressure being applied to one of the Many ribs in his chest. "N-No please!" He yelled gritting his teeth. *CRACK* "Fuck!" He screamed as on rib snapped off from his rib cage. "Next one!" She said, once again Spark felt a pressure being applied to a rib, he couldn't stand the pain any longer and let out a scream of agony which was followed by a quick impact by the rock on the part of the wing connecting to the body. This happens for a few minutes until one final smack met with a crack of a bone in his wing indicating that flesh was the only thing keeping, his wing attached to the rest of, his body. "Oops looks like you lost." She said as she slowly began to twist the wing off his body. His vision began to fade as he heard Chris yell "SPARK!!!" Followed by a few bursts of an M16. He saw Twilights body fall over to his side to be replaced by a dark figure. "IT FEELS SO GOOD!" It screamed as he saw the figure shove its arm deeper into his stomach, Spark started to cough out blood, he felt blood ooze from his nose, ears. "You not gonna die yet, you Angel!" It said, Spark felt like broken glass was being forced down his throat." Spark could feel his last breaths escaping his lungs until, he a voice he thought he'd never hear again. "GET OFF HIM!!!" Spark saw as a Purple laser struck the demon sending dust to be blown away. "Spark! Can you hear me!" He felt a set of hoofs grab both sides of his head, and moved to face Twilight. "Don't worry Sparky I'm here." Chris ran towards Sparks aid, he dropped his rifle next to Spark, and noticed Twilight sobbing on his right fore hoof, he placed a ear to Sparks bloody chest hearing the faint beating of his heart. "We need to get him somewhere more secure!" He yelled to Twilight, she nodded gently lifting him up with her magic. "Eddie can you hear me?" He yelled. "Yea!" A response came. "What about, Phoenix?" He yelled again. "I'm alright!" He heard her voice. "Alright regroup on me now! Damnit!" He saw all the soilders run up to him. "Alright we need to find a secure place now!" He screamed. "Aye, sir!" After running through the forests brush they reached a door leading into a unknown building. "Sergeant get that door open!" He said pointing to one of the Marines. "Aye, sir!" *ROAR!!!* Everyone turned their eyes towards the path they just came through. "What the fuck was that!?!" Phoenix screamed. "Timber Wolves!" Twilight screamed. "Open that door now goddamnit!" He yelled at the Marine. "I-I almost got it." He yelled back. The sound wood hitting each other got closer. "Hurry they can smell the blood of the wounded!" Twilight yelled. "Got it!" The Marine said kicking the door open. "Quick everyone inside!" Chris commanded. Just as he closed the door he saw a wooden wolf pounce towards the metal door crashing into it, he quickly placed a random crate to the door blocking it. "I think we're safe." He panted. "Where are we?" Eddie asked. I don't know." Chris replied, he used his TAC light to look around until he found a switch connected to the wall in which, he pulled. Lights began to flicker on all over the interior of the building. "Holy mother of god..." .
BunkerAll was peaceful in Ponyvill. Ponies of all different types trotted back and fourth. The towns center was full of life. Twilight awoke to the sound of Spike burping up a scroll. She's always loved Spike ,but the sound of him burping up a scroll somtimes annoyed her especially when she's asleep. "Um, Twilight it's a message from Princess Celestia." Twilight rolled out of bed ,and trotted over to Spike. "Sometimes Celestia you send messages at the wrong time." At that she levitated the scroll over to her and unfolded the paper. Dear, Twilight I received word of an unknown structure in Canterlot that I would like you to personally investigate the structure I'll Assign royal guards to escort you into the structure please report to me after you've fully read this letter it's a matter of upmost urgency. From: Princess Celestia.. "Wow an unknown structure in Canterlot!!! And I get to Investigate it!!!! This is the best day ever!!!" Twilight hugged herself soffocating the letter with her legs. "Spike pack up we need to leave today. O my gosh I can't to tell all my friends about that adventure we....." At that instant Spike burped another scroll which Twilight read. Dear, Twilight I forgot to mention its top secret. From: Princess Celestia. Twilight frowned as she read the "top secret." She loves going on adventures with her friends but now she has to do it alone... "Aww don't worry Twilight I'll come with anyways you did read both letters out loud." Spike said in a comforting voice. Twlight looked at Spike and smiled. "Your right Spike if it's a matter of upmost urgency ,and top secret it must be dangerous. We wouldn't want to get them hurt would we." "Can't agree with you more there Twilight." Spike replied. And they both set out to Canterlot. 5 hours later.... Twilight and Spike arrived to Canterlot. They unloaded their luggage from the train ,and made the journey to the Castle. As they arrived they were stopped by two guards... " Miss Twlight please follow us to the location of the structure." "Um okay." " Princess Celestia asked us to inform you about the structure, it appears to be made out of reenforced concrete and has multiple holes surrounding, it looks like it's been beaten with some sort of explosive weapons." "Weird has anyone entered the structure yet?" "No, we're the first ponies who are going to enter the structure. We don't know what's inside but we have orders to protect you while you investigate." As the group walked over to the location Twilight noticed that the bunker was located inside the hill with only part of the entrance exposed. "This is it." The guard said. "This is a strangest structure I've ever seen. Twilight replied as she approached what seemed be the entrance. The entrance was sealed with what was a tall red rusted metal door. "This must be the entrance." Twilight studied the door closely. " Becareful Miss Twilight."One of the guards said with a hint of fear in his voice. "I agree with him Twilight." Spike replied. "We don't know what what kind of place this is it could be booby trapped for all we know." "Don't worry spike I've got this under control."Twilight said in a sarcastic tone. "I hope your right." Spike replied. Twilight tries pushing the door open. "It's jammed shut." She said, she then used her magic to forcefully push the door open. "I think just about got it." The door then made a click noise and proceeded to open under its own weight and for a gust of air to fly out of the bunker. "Bingo." Twilight said. But she couldn't help but notice that there was another presence in the room as if there were 50 ponies in the room at once just...... Watching. As they walked in she used her magic to illuminate the surrounding area with her horn. The two guards did the same. As Twilight walked around she notices fileing cabinets surrounded in dust. Twilight also noticed a part of the bunker that held the word "Government military fallout shelter no.5." Twilight read the words out loud and wrote them down in a book labeled Book of Knowledge. "Miss Twilight I found something!" One of the guards yelled. "It looks to be a skeleton of an unknown creature." Twilight investigated the skeleton closely. She noted it closely resembled an ape but it had clothes on she also noticed something reflect the light from her horn "Huh what's that." Twilight said in a curious voice. As she looked closely she noticed it was a pin located on the skeletons clothes. From what she could make out it was a pin with four stars connected together forming a straight line as she was was about to touch the pin she felt a gust of wind hit her it and it was cold. Spike noticed it as well. "What was that." Spike said as a shiver went down his spine. "I don't know Spike." Twilight said. She decided to ignore it and looked over the skeleton again. This time she notices a piece of paper on the skeletons hand. She levitates the paper up to her eye level. "Hm what's this." She said. Surprised that's it's written in equestrian. "Amazing." She said. She then began to read what was on the paper... " 2/19/16 This is 4 Star General Spark reporting in for the last time I think... Me and my friends have been stuck in here for a month now. We Just ran out of food. I had to share the last can of beans with Chris and Eddie. The rest of the men have all passed on... Poor bastards couldn't handle the stress of being confined In here. I told them it was bad idea to stuff 37 of us in here. Now there 3 of us left Me 3 Star Gen Chris and and Colonel Eddie. Well at least I'll die with my best friends and if someone's finds this after God knows how many years. Please fucking hit Chris corpse or skeleton for pissing in our only water supply. Hehe He may be a dumbass but he's my dumbass. It makes me sad to see them like this. Dying of starvation. Sometimes I wonder if the radiation from the outside actually mutates animals like the video games but if the world gets taken over by animals I'm so done." Twilight was shocked at the papers contents who were these creatures and what do they mean about the world getting taken over by animals. She was shocked until she felt something pull her horn and turn her in a 360 and she felt her horn start emitt strong amounts of magic. "What's going on?!!?!" She screamed. There was a flashing light and a boom then it got quiet. *cough cough* was all that was heard. Everyone looked towards the coughing and as the smoke cleared They saw a pony pulling himself up to a standing position and it spoke. "Damnit I knew this would happen!"
Souls of War"Ugh my head," said the pony. "Fuck sakes." Twilight watched as he looked directly at her. Shock filled the unicorns mind as the desert colored pony started to approach her. "S-Stay back!" Twilight said in a terrified voice, as she began to emit magic from her horn. The guards themselves including spike were still shocked to even do anything. The pony stopped a few feet away from her and she noticed something astonishing, the pony was an alicorn and its cutie mark resembled that of a shield with a star in the center with wings on both sides of the shield. She mustered up the courage to talk to the pony again "W-who are you!" She yelled at the pony. The pony simply said, "Your worst enemy," the pony said in a terrifying tone. She took a step back. "I mean no harm ,unless you Decide other wise." The pony said in a calm voice, "Okay, only if you promise not to hurt us." Twilight replied. The pony simply nodded ,and said affirmative. After the agreement of peace between them Twilight had sent Spike including the two guards outside to help give the pony space to think, the pony began to walk around looking for something ,until he hovered over what to be the skeleton Twilight was investigating earlier. "What are you looking for?" Twilight asked. "My life." The pony said. Twilight was shocked at his response. "Your what?" Twilight said, she then noticed the stallion pull the 4 star pin from the corpse ,and levitated it to her eye level and said "My life." Twilight was surprised of what the stallion considered his "life." "Can you explain to me what you mean?" Twilight asked. The stallion sighed and said "My entire life is based on what this pin symbolizes."He said, "I spent every second of my life to acquire these 4 stars." He said with a hint of sadness "I seen things that no person should ever see." A tear rolled down the stallions cheek. "My soul was breed for war and only war." He said with a bit of anger in his voice. He sat down and stared into what his soul decided to leave behind. He Imagined the horrors he experienced he remembered once when he had to carry a wounded child civilian to cover watching as he slowly bleed out. It also brought back memories of him having to put a solider out of his misery. He tried to think about something that he enjoyed that brought him extreme happiness. He remembered as him and his friends finally graduating from officer training school it was the happiest day of our lives. But it quickly faded into darkness.... His thoughts were clouded for a second. He felt like shit having to think about those horrible memories ,but he thought to himself he should be used to this, it was what he was made to be ,and what he would always be. Twilight felt great pity for him. She thought about what he was saying. Spending your life to acquire something doing unimaginable things to get it. When he saw the pony standup and seem to calm down she walked closer to him and asked. "Who are you?" Twilight asked. The stallion looked at Twilight once again. " 4 Star General Spark of the United States military." He said in a formal tone. Twilight was confused. "What's the United States?" Twilight asked. Spark thought was finally confirmed. The United States has been untterly destroyed. "Well from what I can tell your standing on top of its remains." He chuckled at the thought. Twilight was still confused. "That really didn't really answer my question." Twilight said hoping to get a full explanation from Spark. She was disappointed when Spark said it's a long story and I'll explain later. Twilight was very interested in the stallion alicorn she had one more question to ask. "What were you?" She asked as she pointed towards his remains. "I was what you call a human." Twilight gasped she's read about humans as being creatures of war and masters of death. "What?" He asked confused. "Nothing Twilight said quickly making a innocent grin. Spark just ignored her. Twilight suddenly remembered something. She took the note she found from Sparks human skeleton. "Um, Spark I believe this belongs to you." Spark levitated the paper over to himself. "Ah I remember this,"he chuckled as he read over it. "Did you do it?" He asked. "What?" She asked confused, Spark only chuckled at her response "never mind," he said "the time will come for him soon." Spark thought of the perfect revenge for Chris. "Anyway do you know how to use that bring souls back to life crap anyways?" Twilight thought for a moment she knew there were spells that could do such things but only powerful alicorns can preform such spells ,but she wondered how did she managed to be forced to pull off the spell. "There is one way but we'll need to talk to Princess Celestia. "Princess," Spark said dumbfounded America has been transformed into a Monarchy great he thought. "I'll take you to her, only if you promise to behave yourself." Twilight said remembering the fact that he used to be a human. As they walked were about to walk out the door, Spark felt as if people were watching him and a breeze hit him in the back of the head, he knew who they were and he whispered "I'll be back." He thought of something and turned around and quickly went over to one of the cabinets pulling out a folder with a blueprint inside which included a picture somehow preserved for billions of years ,and quickly went back to meet Twilight. "Your Princess won't say no to this." He said with a smirk.
The DealBetter to fight for something than live for nothing. ~George S. Patton As, Twilight and Spark walked out of the Bunker, Spark couldn't hope himself the beauty of the outside world "This......This is amazing!" He yelled "It's so beautiful!" Sparks never been this excited about be outside but he had a reason to be. He breathed in the air it felt fresh and unpolluted. Don't need to get over exaggerated, as she watch Spark roll all over the grass. "Err I'll just leave it to you then." She said with a smile. Sometime later..... Are you done Twilight asked sitting on a rock . "Yea yea I'm uh done he said." Looking back at the flattened grass and back at her. "Finally," Spike said, Twilight giggled. She turned to look at the two guards playing cards on a rock. "Time to move out." Twilight said. "But Miss Twilight," the guards replied. "Now," she said with an increase in tone. After 2 minutes th group set out back to the Castle "Hey I just noticed you and your pet never introduced yourselves," Spark asked. "Who you calling a pet?" Spike Said irritated. "Spike you are technically considered my pet dragon." Twilight giggled. "I guess your right." Spike replied. "Well Spark to answer you question, I'm Twilight Sparkle and this is Spike. "Yo," Spike said in a cool voice. "Interesting. Well can you tell me a little about your Princess?" Spark asked. "Sure, Princess Celestia is the ruler of all of Equestria. She cycles the the day and nights and....." Twilight was interrupted by Spark. "Wait wait wait so your telling me that you Princess controls day and night?" He asked dumbfounded. "Um yeah she does everypony knows that." She said making Spark look like an idiot. Twilight could see air building up in his mouth. "What's wrong?" She asked worried. Spark couldn't believe what he just heard he felt laughter wanting to build up ,but he tried to hold it in. Finally, after she asks what was wrong he burst out laughing, "Ahahahha!" He laughed out loud tears coming out from his eye. What's so funny Twilight?" Twilight asked confused. "That's ipossible you can't just make celestial bodies mov like that." Spark said as he wiped tears from his face. Twilight just rolled her eyes, "whatever you say." She said chuckling at the thought of proving him wrong. As they continued on Spark couldn't help but notice the beautiful medieval Castle coming over over the horizon. "Woah." He said his veiw locked onto the beautiful kingdom. "I've never seen anything like this before." Spark desperately wanted to explore the kingdom. "Don't worry we're almost there." Twilight said reassuring him. Spark felt his heart pump as they reached the entrance to the city. He's never been this excited to visit some place before. "Welcome to the city of Equestria!" Twilight said with smile. "It's so beautiful." He said to Twilight. As they continued walking down the streets of the city to the the castle, She watched as Spark franticly looking at all the stores, restaurants ,and ponies. Sparks mind was full of plans of what he wanted to do in the city. For once a felt like a teenage girl who's just came to a mall with her friends. He was starting to love the new Monarchy formed America. "Spark come on your falling behind." Twilight told him. "O yea sorry." He replied. The group finally reached the castle gates. As they made there way into the grand hallway to Celestias throne, Spark sensed something it made him feel uneasy he ignored the thought and followed Twilight as the two guards who escorted them opened the grand door to Celestia throne. The two guards closed the door and proceeded to wait outside till further notice. Twilight I see you've come from the investigation." Celestia said in a motherly voice. "And I see you've brought a friends." "Yes Princess the investigation went well, this is Spark." Twilight replied to Celestial. "A Stallion alicorn what a sight." Princess Celestia said. Spark proceed blush at Celestias comment. Celestia could sense a energy from Spark but she couldn't tell what it was. To her it felt like sadness mixed in with guilt and darkness but she sensed a little bit of light inside of him. "May I ask what were you doing around the structure Mr.Spark?" Celestia asked curiously. "It's General Spark by the way and, I was inside I'm no pony I was actually a human." Spark said. Celestia gasped and stood up "Twilight get away from him!" Celestia warned. Twilight was confused as she watched magic start to emit from her horn. Spark was surprised at the change of atmosphere. He took a step back, he then felt and invisible force pin him against a wall. "I'm friendly!" He screamed. Celestia ignored his pleding and approched his pinned body. Celestia stop please!" Twilight screamed. "No, this human must be eradicated!" She said. "But he's not a human look at him he's a pony," Twilight pleded. Celestia could feel Sparks heart beat in fear through her magic. She knew what humans were capable of and the risk of having a human alicorn possing Unknown amounts of power was dangerous and she knew what he really was. Spark was trying to break free from Celestias grip it was impossible. Celestia please don't hurt him he's been very nice to me." Twilight said as a tear rolled down her check. "He's not who you think he is!" Celestia yelled. "He's not a Alicorn he's somthing far more dangerous and deadly." She explained. "He's a legendary version of an alicorn." Celestia used her magic to forcefully spread Sparks wings. Twilight gasped they looked like wings from an angel of death. "He's a War Horse!" Who kills and destroys for absolutely no reason. Celestia used her magic to grip around Sparks throat and started to tightened the grip suffocating him. Spark mustered up the energy to say "I-I'm different." He begged one last time tears rolled down Sparks face. Celestia was full of rage towards Spark but she felt pity and felt Spark was different. Celestia loosened the grip around Sparks throat allowing him to breath. Celestia looked Spark straight in the eye and said "If you every hurt or kill any of my subjects intentionally I won't hesitate to put you down." And at that she withdrew the magic holding Spark down, and watched as he fell from the position he was being pinned from. Spark felt like he's been humiliated but she wasn't lying he had to kill and destroy as a human it was what he was made to do he stood up slowly and said. "Yes ma'am you have my word." "Good."Celestia said as she sat back on her throne Twilight was rubbing Sparks throat and limbs after what just happened. Spark decided to ask Celestia about what she could do to help bring back his friends and fellow soldiers, "Ce-Celestia." He hesitantly said "I-I wanna make you a deal." He said. "What is it." She asked. "I was wondering if you could bring my friends souls back to life," "What!" Celestia stood up clearly in rage again. "Wait wait please hear me out." He said frightened "If you do then we make an oath help you preserve peace in Equestrian." He said. "An exchange then for for you help in protection of my wonderful kingdom." "Yes." "Alright take me to your friends location."
Dreadful NightPrincess Celestia had promised to help Spark with his problem in exchange for assistance in protecting Equestria. But it was almost time to rise the moon to shine upon Equestria. "We'll set out tomorrow." Celestia told Spark and Twilight." You all need rest after such a long day." Twilight couldn't disagree today was a long day and she felt exhausted. She looked over at Spark who was still shocked at what happened she watched as he just stared at the ground with heavy eyes. She frowned she knew Spark wasn't a bad person but his history proves it difficult for Celestia to fully trust him. Twilight you'll be staying in Royal guest room. Celestia looked at Spark with a distasteful face and said, "you'll be staying in the servants quarters." Spark only nodded weakly in agreement. Twilight didn't want Spark to sleep in a servants quarter. She wanted him to be comfortable. "Princessant if I may." Twilight asked "Yes." Celestia replied. "I was wondering if... Spark could stay with me." Twilight asked. Celestia looked upset at the request and said. "No, to ensure your safety this... Human must be kept away from you." " But Celestia he's a nice pony who only wishes to be reunited with his friends."Twilight pleded. "No means no." Celestia told Twilight said in a commanding voice. "Guards!" Celestial called. The two guards from before walked in and said "Yes Princess." "Please escort this pony to the servants quarters." "Right away Princess." Both the guards responded as they walked Spark to his quarters. Twilight also proceed to walk to her quarters. She felt gloomy she desperately to wanted Spark to be comfortable. She walked into her quarters, it was beautiful. The bed was big enough to for three longs to sleep in as well as a balcony,dressers, and a gigantic mirror. She crawled into the large bed and covered her face with the pillow she wanted to cry again. Imagining Spark lying in a cold dark room alone. As Spark was was pushed into his quarters he sighed at the sight a dull grey room with one small lit candle on the floor sadly there was not windows either. As Spark continued to survey the room he was devastated to see that there was no bed nor bathroom. "Great just great!" He sarcasticly said. He started to feel like a piece of shit somebody threw at a curb, he felt worthless. He sat in corner and started to sob quietly as he slowly slid onto the floor. He tried to close his eyes but he couldn't the floor was cold ,dirty, and he had no pillow to lay on. Spark sighted as he imagined Twilight comfortable bed. Twilight couldn't take it anymore she had to make sure Spark was alright. She quietly snuck out of the bed carrying a pillow as well a blankets with her. She watches a Spike slept sound fully in his tiny bed. She crept down the stairwell ,and quitetly trotted down the huge hallway looking for Sparks quarters. "Where is he." Twilight whispered. Thankfully she came across a door that held a sign that read do not enter. She slowly opened the to see Spark on the cold hard floor. Spark heard the door open and looked up to see Twilight closing the door. "W-what are you doing here?" Spark asked. "I came to make sure you were comfortable." She said looking around. Well I'm comfortable you can go back to you quarters now." Spark said making a noticeable fake smile. "No you aren't." Twilight said. "Besides I noticed you eye balling the pillow and blanket I brought with me." Spark couldn't help but sigh. "Fine okay I'm not comfortable but I don't want you to get into a lot of trouble." Spark said as he started to sob. Twilight sat next to Spark and slowly stroked his head with her hoof. "It's okay." Twilight whispered. ""Princess Celestia won't get angry shes only trying to keep me safe." She put the pillow under Sparks head and laid down next to him levitating the covers over her and Spark. Spark felt weird as Twilight started to cuddle with him he's never felt like this for a long time. He slowly started to drift into slumber. Twilight looked up at Spark noticing that he's already fallen asleep. Twilight hasn't cuddled with somepony since she was a filly. She remembered always sleeping with her older sibling Shining Armor. This made her fell so imaginable comfortable. She slowly started to drift into asleep. Both Twilight and Spark laid together soundly asleep.
New OrdersIt was morning in Equestria once again. Celestia had just rised the sun over the moon. Spark awoke from his slumber. Sadly Twilight had left him. "Probably snuck back to her quarters." He said to himself. Spark stood up, he was getting used to this body. He walked over to the door opening it, he slowly peeked out looking both left and right. "No ones around, I suppose I'll just walk myself out." Twilight had awoken an hour early to get back to her room. Before Princess Celestia rose the sun. She looked at Spark before she left. She smiled as he slept soundly. As she entered her royal quarters she noticed Spike was still asleep in his round bed. She climbed into her bed momentarily falling asleep once again. Spark walked down the long dark hallway hoping to find the day of light. Today's the big day he happily thought. Spark couldn't wait for his fellow soldiers to get revived. Spark finally reached the throne room noticing Celestia wasn't there. Suddenly Spark was take back by a wonderful smell. Must be breakfast he thought excited. Spark follow the smell until, he reached grand dining room. He say as ponies walked back and fourth placing dishes on table. Sparks felt himself drooling. "Spark you awake." Spark was take by surprise, "hey Twilight." He smiled, "smells good what they make." Twilight asked looking around Spark. "Don't know was about to check out. Care to join me?" Spark said with grin "Why I'll be insulted if you didn't." Both Spark and Twilight approached the table awe struck with what lied before them. Their were plates full of pancakes, a basket full of muffins, and a fresh red and green apples. "Looks yummy." Twilight excitingly said. 1 HOUR LATER.... Spark Twilight and Celestia including 4 guards set out to the bunker for the rising of the dead. "So Spark remember what you wanted to show Celestia?" Twilight asked Spark. "Show what," Spark replied confused. Twilight pulled out the folder that Spark took from the bunker before. "Oh yea I forgot about this." Spark said remembering about the folder. "What is it?" Twilight asked. "It's a secret." Spark said with smirk. "Please tell me." Twilight desperately asked. "Look for yourself. He's said levitating the folder over to Twilight. Twilight opened the folder. A blueprint was the first thing she saw inside the folder. She noticed the blueprint held printed words on top which Twilight whispered "M3A3 Bradley." She was confused. She continued looking through the folder until she found a picture. Spark felt an odd sensation. The same sensation when he left the bunker. "We're getting close." The group continued walking until they reached a Red metal door. "This is it." Spark said back looking at Celestia. Princess Celestia felt an odd presence from inside like ponies were watching her. Celestia, Spark, and Twilight walked inside the guards kept their distance. Spark looked at Celestia. "When your ready." Celestia nodded her head. Her horn started to glow a powerful gold Celestia gritted her teeth, she hasn't used this much magic in years. Suddenly her magic disbursed all across the room leaving behind a thick pink cloud. Coughs were heard all across the room. "God fucking danmit, Eddie I told you to control you damn gasses!" A stallion cursed inside the smoke. "Fuck off yer the one with the gas problems!" Retorted a second stallion. Spark instantly recognized the the voices. "CHRIS, EDDIE!" Spark yelled at the top of his lungs. "Spark where in tarnation are ya?" Eddie's voice called out. As the smoke cleared he could make out 36 ponies in the room. Spark noticed that Celestia didn't only bring back Chris and Eddie but also the U.S. Armies fallout survivors. Spark continued surveying the room looking for Eddie and Chris. Spark was confused every resurrected pony had desert colored coats. But with different Army rank cutie marks. "Spark where are you." Spark recognized the voice it belonged to a Chris. Spark stood by the door. "Follow the light!" He jokingly said. He saw two ponies approach the door. He smiled when he saw the 3 Star and a Colonel insignia on both of the stallions flanks. "Spark is that really you!" Chris cried. "Yes it's me!" Spark ran towards both the stallions and proceeded to give them hugs. "I thought I would never see you guys again." Spark let go of the embrace and took a step back "what in the hell happened? And why the hell are we horses?" Chris asked confused. "Long story, but for now I have an announcement to make to the men." Spark proceeded to walk to the middle of the room, he picked up an army ACU cover from the ground and pinned his 4 Star insignia onto the hat and put it on. Celestia and Twilight went outside to give the new ponies space. He motioned one of the Master Sergeants to call the group to attention. In which the sergeant nodded and stood at attention. "ATTEN-TION!" All the ponies in room stood upright and snapped to attention towards the sergeant. "The General would like a word." The sergeant said in a raspy voice. Spark looked towards the group of soldiers and began his speech. "As you all may have noticed you are no longer human. Sadly the great nation who we fought so hard to protect has been destroyed and has been for gotten. We are the only standing piece of our beloved country, but we're fighting for nothing now. We've lost our families, and our sense of purpose in the U.S. Army, but we can still fight for something. Spark sighed. "The United States of America, has been occupied by a peaceful nation called Equestria for millions of years. I asking all of you to consider switching loyalty over to Equestria." All the ponies looked at each other. Including Chris, and Eddie. "I know it sounds wrong. Like General Patton once said." "It's better to fight for something than for nothing." Deep thought went through the the room. "I agree with the General." Spark turned right to see the Master Sergeant looking back at him. "Our time fighting for what we believe no longer means anything I believe we should fight for something new." The crowd erupted into a roar of, "Oohrahs!" The Master SGT gave Spark a hoof salute, Spark returned the salute. The SGT did a right face towards the small army. "DISMISSED! All the soldiers ran around the bunker scavenging what they could. Spark heard the sound of a M16 loading, followed by the sound of a couple of M4's doing the same. Spark looked around as well. He come across the cabinets and proceeded to search them for any important documents. Spark whistled "blueprints and more blueprints." Until he came across a red folder labeled "Emergency Evacuation Plan." He opened the folder to find a paper labeled. "Major Military Weapons Storage." And found a map labled. "Emergency Regroup Plan." The showed parts the country labeled. "Government Fallout #'s." One was located in New York and marked as "U.S. Marines fallout." Spark quickly went over to Chris and Eddie. "Guys look there's other Military fallout shelters including a munitions storage." "What's the closes fallout shelter?" Eddie asked. "In New York, Marines are held up there." "I'm more interested in the storage." Chris jokingly said. "We can deal with that later." Spark said sarcastically. "But I don't wanna save the Marines, there douche's when it's comes to the army." Chris complained. "Remember that video I showed you way before we got locked up here?" Spark remembered the Marines embarrassing themselves to mock the army. Still it was pretty funny. (Video) Spark saw a pistol next to his hoof. Sparks jaw flew open. He picked up the pistol "O hell yes!" Spark was excited at the sight of the beautiful silver Desert Eagle. He picked up an leg hostler and immediately put the pistol hostler. Spark noticed some of his men trying to put on their old ACU's. Surprisedly it fit them, so he decided to go over to his corpse and pull the ACU from it. "Still fits." He smirked. Chris and Eddie proceeded to do the same. "Alright fuckers it's time to move our asses out!" Eddie yelled. All the soldiers exited the building enjoying the fresh air and sun. Princess Celestia and Twilight were awestruck. They didn't expect for there to be a mini army of soldiers. She watched as Spark walked up to Celestia, and gave her a salute. We wish to transfer our loyalty over to Equestria. Spark said formally. Celestia only nodded. "As you wish." Spark dropped his salute, and turned around to his men. "Alright let's move to the temporary FOB. 1 HOUR LATER..... Spark saw as his men gazed at the castles interior with awe. Celestia gave them permission to construct a FOB next to Canterlot. Which Spark would have to supervise just in case the men get rowdy. They were told to set up temporary bunks in the ball room till they get the FOB completed. "Celestia!" Spark called out. "Yes?" Celestial responded. Spark showed Celesrtia the blueprint for the Bradley. And explained if she could somehow could produce the IFV. Chris and Eddie were waiting for the response from Celestial from Spark, he walked up to them. "Well I have good news and bad news." "What?" Both Chris and Eddie said. "The good news is she knows people who can produce the parts." "The bad news is that is that the people or 'ponies' aren't here in Canterlot. but in Manehattan, and we'll have to find the ammunition for them. Also we need to build the computer systems ourselves." "Err what was that that part about Manehattan, don't you mean Manhattan?" "Yep." "Doesn't the similarities scare you a little." Chris nervously smiled. "Well look at the bright side we get to travel to New York to look for the shelter after we deliver these blueprints." "Guess your right, still can't believe you want to resurrect those damn Marines." Chris sighed. "Stop your complaining." Spark said annoyed. Thus, Spark, Chris, and Eddie began their journey to Manehattan.
MarinesAfter she had arranged a transport for Spark, and his squad. We were to take a train to Manehattan. Sadly it was a public ride I was expecting a private ride, but still it's nothing to complain over. The train itself was a strain to the males eye pink wasn't what you'd expect someone in the military to ride in. The interior was that of an 1800's train, and top it all off Chris was complaining about a colt bucking his seat I swear, next time he complains I'm gonna smack him across his damn face. Chris sighed as the colt constantly kicked his seat. "Spark he's doing it again." Chris whispered. "Danmit I told you to shut it." Spark whispered back. Chris only sighed at leaned against the window, he surprised at how lush the grass, and trees were. It was a view you would rarely see back in his time. *KICK* *KICK* "UGH" Chris grunted, "Spa-" Sparks horn lit up and a Crack was all that was heard. Chris eyes widened, and he quickly looked behind his seat, only to see the colt eating a carrot. Cris sighed in relief, "Spark don't ever do that again you've scarred me shitless." "Maybe next time you'll stop complaining." Spark narrowed his eyes at Chris. Luckily for Eddie his situation was quite relaxing he had a whole seat to himself, he even fell asleep. The train ride was to arrive at its destination in about 9 hours. "So, Spark what do you feel like doing." Chris asked. "How about about you go ask if they have pillows." Spark sarcastically responded. Chris only sighed and continued out the window. He saw birds flying by his window, every once in a while giving him quick glances. Well at least I'm not sitting next to some fat slob he tried to positively say to himself. "Hey Chris I'm gonna look for a bathroom." Spark said and quickly left. As Spark approached what seemed to be a bathroom only to see it switched to occupied. "Danmit it's occupied." He cursed under his breath. Luckily for him the pony come out of the bathroom. Spark gave the pony a quick glance and his jaw fell completely to the floor. "Holy mother of god." Spark watched the whale sized pony walked out. He stumbled to quickly get inside the bathroom. Chris felt the cart shake. "What the." The cart started to shake more as if a giant was walking next to the train. "Hey is this seat taken?" Chris looked towards the voice only to whimper at what stood before him. "U-Uh Yes." Chris said frightened. "Was that a no?" Asked the pony. "Yes Yes it's taken!" Chris yelled. "No alright scoot over." The pony began to sit down on the chair, a shadow of the ponies rump consumed him, his eyes grew smaller he saw his life flash before his eyes. Chris let out a yelp before the pony sat down. Chris was instantly pushed against the window, he sworn he heard a bone crack after the giant pony sat next to him. Spark had just finished using the bathroom and proceeded to walk back to his seat only to witness the pony he saw earlier asleep on his seat. He could hear whimpers coming from the pony. "Well I guess I'll sit next to Eddie then." Spark sat next to Eddie noticing how comfortable this seat was. "Wow I should have sat here a long time ago." Spark felt his eye lids start to heavy, promptly falling asleep. Spark was awoken by the tugging of Eddie. "We're almost there." Spark saw sky scrapers appear over the horizon. "About time." Spark sighed. "Where's Chris?" Eddie asked, Spark pointed towards the still sleeping pony. "Oh err okay then. Well we better start getting read, don't want to be the last ones waiting to get out would we." Spark couldn't wait to get today over with. The train began to slow down until the train completely stoped everypony in the cart stood up, and proceeded to walk to the exit. Except the still sleeping monstrosity of a pony. Spark poked the pony with his hoof only to get a giggle out of the pony. Spark poked the pony again the ponies eyes fluttered open. "Where am I?" "Your in Manehattan." Spark Replied. "O really? Thanks mister for waking me up!" The pony sat up and proceeded to walk out with the others, only leaving a sweat drenched Chris hissing at the sudden beams of sunlight. "Water you waiting for lets go Chris." Spark, and Eddie laughted at the pun. Chris slowly slid off the seat I-Is that thing gone?" Chris asked traumatized. "Yes 'its' gone now cmon we don't have all day." Chris stumbled onto the ground wrapping his hoof over his arm. Spark inspected Chris's arm, "hmmm that doesn't look normal buddy." Chris gave Spark an angry glare, a bone had been broken upon impact of the ponies oversize ass. "Don't worry about it I'm sure Celestia could repair your squashed arm." "Alright first things first, let's get these blueprints over to the factory, then comes the Marines." The city itself looked exactly like New York even the statue is similar to the Statue of Liberty. As all three walked the streets of Manehattan, venders were a common sight, Including cabs which Spark thought was weird since they were pulled by ponies. "Hey Spark, do you think we can grab something to eat while we're here?" Chris asked. They haven't eaten since they left Canterlot, which was in the morning. "I suppose we could, but we have to keep it cheap, I only brought 150 bits." Spark replied. Chris looked around looking for somewhere to stop and refuel their stomaches, their were an abundant amounts of restaurants ranging from pizza from "hay burgers?" Chris's thought was cut off at the sound of hay burgers. Well I guess it made sense since we were herbivores now, I wonder if they taste good. "Hey let's try that place." Chris pointed towards the restaurant. "Really Christopher hay burgers...." "I told you not to call me Christopher." Chris scowled at Spark. "Whatever." Spark rolled his eyes. The team crossed the street over to the restaurant, Spark pushed the door open with his hoof. "It actually smells pretty good." Spark noticed ponies looking at him gasping which came with whispers, he only ignoredChris it, and approached the counter, the pony behind the counter appeared to be a high schooler with various zits around his face. "Hello welcome to Dipplies, home of the world famous hay burgers, may I take your order?" The pony said a sloppy tone. Spark looked over the menu. "May I have the home style burger with a large shake!" Chris yelled from behind Spark. "I'll take a hay burger with a medium cup of water." Eddie asked. "And I'll have a double hay burger with a large cup of water please." Spark ordered. "Okay sir that'll be 20 bits." Spark levitated the bits onto the counter. "Hear ya go." Spark said. "Thank you sir, your hay burgers will be done shortly." The cashier said while sliding over a number to him. Spark had found a table next to a window, Spark noticed again as ponies stared at him, and only him. "Guys why is everyone looking at me?" "What do ya mean?" Asked Eddie. "Look around." Eddie looked around the restaurant, sure enough he noticed everypony in the room looking at Spark. "You must be popular or something." Chris chuckled, Spark only smiled. "Here you go sir." A mare worker placed the food onto the table, and took the number with her. As Spark was about to give the hay burger a bite, he felt someone tug on his right wing, Spark was surprised to see a young colt looking back at Spark. "Hello there." Spark said to the colt. "Hi! Are you a Prince?" The colt smiled, Spark was dumbfounded by the response "No, I'm not a prince." "But your an alicorn." Spark thought for a second, everypony must think he's royalty great. "Well well Sparky's a prince." Chris laughed. Spark only scowled at him and punched his injured arm. "Oww, the hell was that for???" "Don't act like a jackass." "What its pretty funny your highness." Spark ignored his response, and watched as the colt ran off likely back to his family, or friends. After about an hour or we the three officers exited the restaurant with slightly enlarged abdomens. "That was pretty good shit." A satifised Chris said. "Can't disagree with you." Replied Eddie. "We still have a mission to do, so cmon." Spark commanded. The walk took around 30 mins to reach the factory. The factory itself produced metals used to support the building in Manehattan, when Spark meet with the factory operator he gave the plans over to him, and was told that it would take 4 weeks for the parts to be made, and 2 days to be shipped to Canterlot. "That's one objective complete." Spark said relieved. "Alright Marines." Spark said as he pulled out a map. Chris only sighed. "Alright so the location of bunker no.4 is located in the outskirts of Manehattan." "So we call a cab?" Asked Chris. "I suppose we should it's gonna be quite the walk." He said while still looking at the map. "Alright let's get a move on." Spark said folding the map. They begun looking for any empty cabs which luckily didn't take long. The ride took about 20 mins to reach the outskirts of the city. "Thanks for the ride." Spark said as he levitated 10 bits over to the stallion pulling the cab. "Anytime." The stallion said as he trotted off looking for anymore ponies. "Alright it should be somewhere north of us." Spark said pointing north, as they walked north they discovered a hill, which Spark suspected to be the bunker, as he approached it he began to use his magic to drill downward till he found the entrance, Spark sighed in relief. "This is it are you guys ready?" Eddie said 'Yes' while Chris said 'No' Spark tried opening the metal door to no avail, luckily he could easily force it open, Spark gripped onto the door and pulled as hard as he could, surprisingly once he did that it sent the door flying as if it was wooden. The three entered the bunker, Spark felt the same sensation when we first left the bunker he was stationed at, he could feel people watching him. "Alright Celestia taught me how to preform the spell." Spark said. "It's it easy?" Asked Eddie. "Yes, but I need you guys to take cover." Chris, and Eddie did what Spark said. Spark went into deep concentration, he felt magic emit from his horn, he felt his muscles tense as well as his heart rate. *BOOM* The magic dispersed in a bubble spreading across the room leaving smoke behind. Celestia had told him that it would cause a heavy loss in energy, but he felt fine as if the energy taken was very little. He heard coughing all over the bunker. "Colonel Phoenix are you alright!?" Yelled a stallion. "Yes yes I'm alright." Come a mares voice in return. As the smoke cleared Spark could make out ponies every where in the bunker. He noticed they were all the same. With dark green coats and eyes, and with USM ranks. The smoke cleared reveiling shocked Marines looking at each other taking in their new features until they set their eyes on the three desert colored ponies, Spark noticed one move towards him, it was a mare with a Colonel insignia on her flank, when she got closer she noticed the 4 star insignia on my cover, and the 3 stars on Chris's flank, and went instantly to attention saluting which was followed by the rest of the corps. "Sir!" She yelled in a formal voice. "At ease." And the ponies dropped the salute and began muttering amongst themselves. "We'll look who came to our rescue." She chuckled "didn't think the army would be saving our sorry asses." Spark chuckled. "Are you the commanding officer?" Spark asked. "Yes, but not the original CO." She said looking downward. "What do you mean?" Spark asked confused. "Our 3 star General never made it to the bunker in time...." She said with sadness in her voice. "I'm sorry to hear that Colonel." Spark said with senserity. "It's alright, he was a great man, he didn't have to die out there." She sighed, but looked up at Spark and said, "What's the current situation outside, Sir." Spark replied, "That's what I've been meaning to talk to you, and your Marines about, but first gather up as much as you guys can carry weapons, ammo, and whatever files are in those cabinets," he pointed his hoof at the 3 align cabinets "also your MCCUU's should fit your body well. After a few minutes of gathering every pony was sitted in the middle of the room, Spark counted 39 Marines sitting in the room, "Alright listen up as you all may have not noticed y'all ain't human no more, therefore leading me to say that we've been dead for millions of years and the United States of America no longer exists." The Marines exchanged glances at each other, "But it has been inhabited by a peaceful nation called Equestria you all will soon meet the leader of this nation, and y'all will have a choice, but for now we need to get moving towards the capital of Equestria. The Marines nodded in agreement, and began exiting the bunker, they all gasped when they saw the city close by. It was gonna be a long day for these Marines Spark thought, but their probely not gonna take the exchange of loyalty kindly. Still I have hope for them....
Mind Over MatterComplete darkness filled Sparks mind, after he passed out probably because of shock, he felt himself floating in an empty room, voices whispered to him he felt pain surge through his body it was like a nightmare that could destroy a mans sanity with the flick of a switch. "No" he thought quietly to himself causing all the voices to drop dead silent, as if they were expecting him to say something. "I-I am not afraid, I will not fall into the abyss in which darkness upholds." Spark said aimlessly in his dream, which was followed by a growl that surrounded his entire mind. "Don't try to hide what you fear, as I assure you it will be your undoing." It grunted. Suddenly he felt himself being pulled towards a spinning portal. Spark woke up with a grunt scratching his head with his 'Fingers?' Spark looked around his surroundings, he wasn't awake, but in a memory of his childhood. "What the hell?" He said to himself he noticed a very familiar room, he was in his old bedroom. "Impossible." He said. "Stand you! And observe." The familiar voice he heard earlier grunted. "What do you mean? Get out of my damn head!" Spark screamed in his high pitched voice. "Sorry to disappoint you human, but your 'marefriend' caused this." The voice stated. "What?" "When she blasted me it caused my soul to disconnect from reality; furthermore, causing my soul to connect with the closest living being, which in that case was you." It said. "Besides its quite cozy in here with all these dark memories of yours." It sighed happily, Spark felt his blood boil. How a dare a demon burrow inside of his soul. "Relax." It said. "Just think of me as a second personality." "Wait what's that supposed to mean?" Spark said confused, suddenly his hand moved itself smacking him across the face. "Damnit stop that!" His hand went limp, and he regained control. "Y-you can take over my mind!?" Spark said angrily. "Duh, but don't worry pup, only when you undergo extreme shock or fear, well except for your dreams." It said. "But how is that possible?" Spark asked. "Well let's just say I hijacked one of your personalities. I must say though your warrior side feels awesome!" It said excitedly. Spark gulped, he knew where this was going. "In simple terms, I'm your new psychopathic killer side!" Confetti explode around Spark at the end of the sentence. Spark was gonna protest until he was stopped by a voice he hasn't heard since, well he was a child. "Sparky honey, breakfast is ready!" His mother called. "M-Mom!?" Spark said dumbfounded. "Well enjoy cause after this the real fun begins." The voice laughed and disappeared. "Wait what do you mean fun?" Silence. "Damnit answer me!" Silence. "Fuck!" "Sparky hurry your pancakes are getting cold!" His mom called. "Okay mommy be right down." He said. "Mommy?" The word slipped out on its own, he ran down his houses stairs, until he reached his kitchen. "Sparky! How was you sleep. "It was great mom!" He happily said, he forgot how strange how his mom would call him Sparky even though it was based off his last name. "I made your favorite dear." She said. "Awesome thanks mom!" He sat on the chair and began stuffing himself with the pancakes. "If only your father were here, he'd loved my pancakes." She sighed. "Mommy why did dad leave to the Army?" He asked. "It's hard to explain dear, I may not even know the answear myself." She sadly said. "Well, don't worry mom I'll never leave your side!" Spark said. "I know you won't dear." She said with more sadness in her voice. "Good thing he's on leave." *KNOCK KNOCK* "Huh, wonder who that is?" Sparks mother said, she left the kitchen to go answer the door. Spark quickly followed, but peeking behind the couch, she answered the door to find two Military soldiers heavily decorated standing there. Spark heard his mother gasp. "Is this the residents of Major Sparks?" Asked the one of the men. "Y-yes." She said. "Sorry to inform you ma'am, but your husband has been killed in action." Spark saw his mom knell down, and began to sob uncontrollably. "D-dads dead?" He thought to himself, he quickly stood up from where he was hiding and ran up stairs, and into his room, he laid on his bed sobbing uncontrollably, suddenly Spark felt himself slowly raise from the bed, he saw as he floated away from the sobbing child. And disappear with a bright white flash. "GAHH!" He woke up again noticing this time he was on a vibrating surface wearing an oxygen mask and a full battle gear, and a parachute inside a C-130 "JUMP IN 10!" A voice said over the PA, Spark noticed someone grab his shoulder, and said. "Ready up Spark it's gonna be a hot one." Spark looked over his shoulder and said. "Nothin to hot for us Chris." He smirked, Chris patted his shoulder and stood next to him. "We'll see how these Russians play." He said. "May God have mercy on our miserable souls, and enemies cause I won't." Chris said into the comms, Chris got a few chuckles, and amens. "JUMP ON GREEN!" The operation commander yelled over the comms. Spark and Chris looked at each other, and nodded. The entire interior lit in a bright green indicating we were go for jump. Spark ran as fast as he could out the rear cargo door, and jumped. Spreading out his four limbs. "Heavy fire incoming!" One of the soldiers yelled over the comms. Spark felt his heart pumping insanity fast, and his breathing was all he heard in his mask. Suddenly trails of large caliber bullets started to wiz past the jumpers. "Watch for inco-GAHHH!" One of the soliders screamed before his comms dropped dead. "Open shoots in 3 mins!" Chris yelled to Spark. "10-4" he replied. Spark tried his best to avoid incoming fire, which he lucky did. "OPEN SHOOTS NOW!" Chris yelled. Spark pulled open the shoot, and landed successfully, he quickly ran into cover under fire from a 50 Cal. he watched as an unlucky soldier got his body torn in half under the fire of the 50 Cal. "Frag out!" Someone yelled as the machine guns nest blew to pieces, Spark quickly ran towards a destroyed building, and took cover. "Chris what's your status." He yelled over the comms. "I'm alright landed a little closer than I expected, but I got it under control." He replied over the comms. "Good to hear bud." Spark looked outside an broken window to see several Russian infantry units shooting from behind cover. He took a couple of pot shots with his M4 killing 3 Russians. "есть один в этом здании!" One the Russians yelled pointing towards him, "Guess that's my que to leave." He said as he quickly stood up, and ran out the back door of the building seconds later the place he once stood in was turned into a pile of rubble as a rocket was launched inside. Spark looked around for cover. "Spark over here!" Spark turned his head to see Chris behind a boulder, he quickly ran towards the boulder and sat next to me o Chris. "Fuck me their more prepared than we expected." Chris said. "You can say that again." Spark replied. Spark looked over the edge to see a wounded soldier hiding behind a ditch. "Hey we got wounded to our right." He said to Chris. "Cover me!" Spark said. "10-4" Chris responded, Spark ran towards the wounded man while Chris provided covering fire. Spark kneeled over the wounded man. "Hey soldier can you hear me?" The man nodded weakly. "What's your injury?" The man removed his hand from his stomach and blood proceeded to gush out. "Fuck!" He yelled as he applied pressure on the wound. "Chris I'm gonna need you over here ASAP!" Spark screamed over the comms. "10-4!" He replied. "What's your name soldier?" Spark asked. "E-Eddie." He gaged out blood as he said his name. "Don't worry Eddie your gonna live." He assured him, Spark saw as Chris ran towards them, and watched in horror as a bullet hit him on his side. Time froze as blood burst from Chris's wound and lay suspended in the air. "Fear, fear, and more fear." The familier voice said. "Spark looked around, and said "Look who decided to crawl back." Spark chuckled. "You never finished answering my damn questions." "Pfff, I hate questions." The voice said. "But I'll answer them just for you." The voice sighed. "First of all why are you putting me into dreams?" Spark asked. "Because, it's entertaining to watch!" It said, Spark only huffed at his response. "Second, what's your name." Their was a short silence before it spoke again. "Timethean, but you can call me Tim." Tim responded. "Alright 'Tim' can you get me outta here?" Spark asked. "Sure thing!" Spark felt himself fall through a black hole in the ground, before being completely surrounded in darkness. Spark woke up again observing his surroundings, he was glad to see he was a pony, but noticed it where he was looked very familiar. "O man Sparks this is the funniest dream yet!" Tim laughed, Spark noticed he was outside princess Celestia's throne room. "Oh no not this again." Spark said putting his hoof over his face. "How did you get you ass handed to you by Princess Sun butt?" Tim continued to laugh. "Don't worry I know how to make it more fun." Tim laughed evilly. "Cmon Spark so you can meet the Princess. "O yea sorry lets go." Spark knew where this was going for Tim. "Princess Celestia!" Twilight bowed. "Ahh Twilight my faithful student!" Spark noticed the voice of Celestia was replaced by Tims. "Oh no why did you bring this very bad pony to my castle." Tim said, Spark felt his tail get pulled up by an unseen force and levitated upside down over to Celestia/Tim. "Ponies like you should be taught a lesson." As Spark was about to cus out Tim, he saw a paddle being levitated over to him. He immediately started thrashing about to to break free. "There's no escaping!" Tim laughed, Spark saw the the paddle hover over his hindquarters. "Any last words?" Tim asked. Spark gave Tim a scowl. "I fucking hate y- AH!" Spark Shouted as the holed paddle impacted his hindquarters. "Damnit Tim!" Spark shouted. "AHH!" Spark screamed againas the paddle made contact again. This happened for several minutes until Tim bored himself out. "Okay I think I'm done." Tim said. "Well Sparky I hoped you learned your lesson." Tim said as he dropped Spark into a hole in the floor. "I think my funs over for now Sparks, but I'll be in your head and don't expect me to be quiet." Tim said. As he continued falling he saw light appear under him, and got brighter as he continued to fall. *GASP* Spark woke up looking around weakly, he felt pain surge through his body. "Should have warned ya your gonna be in a hella amount of pain." Tim said chuckling in his mind.
Blood in the EverfreeThe ride back to Canterlot was an insane one, especially when you have a train cart full of Marines, it was like a cusing contest or something, well at least I bought a private cart with dinning tables, Spark saw Eddie hoof wrestling with a group of Marines. "Cmon Danny! You can do it!" Spark noticed that the Marine was sweating, while Eddie just looked the Marine straight in the eyes without a single drop of sweat. The Marine finally gave up, and Eddie slammed his hoof onto the table. "Did you really lost to this punk." The Marines turned towards the mares voice, and saw Colonel Phoenix. "Let me show you how's it's really done." The Marine quickly left his seat in which she occupied. Eddie smirked, he knew she was gonna be a tough nut to crack, he's rarely seen a women officer in the Marines, let alone a Colonel. "Alright, you ready to eat some shit?" She taunted Eddie. He only chuckled, and said, "What are you talking about? I'm not the one with the brown smear on my lip." The Marines erupted into a roar of 'OOOO'. Eddie saw Phoenix's eye start to twitch, "Well shit. I just broke her." He thought. "That little cunt." Phoenix thought angrily, she placed her right foreleg onto the table forming a V, Eddie did the same, but with his left foreleg. "Ready go!" At that instant, they both began pushing against each other's hoofs, the battle was in favor of Eddie, but noticed his hoof being slowly pushed opposite to where he was pushing, indicating that Phoenix wasn't ready to lose to a cunt like him. "Geez calm down, before you break yer hoof." Eddie smirked. "We'll see who's hoof breaks first cowboy." She said with a returned smirk. Eddie felt a little drop of sweat roll down the side of his head, Phoenix herself felt the same sensation of sweat rolling down the side of her head. "Cmon Phoenix you can do it!" Yelled a Marine. "Yea, don't lose to a Army scumbag like him." Yelled another Marine. "Why you calling an officer a scumbag?" Eddie scowled at the Marine. "Errr sorry, sir I got a little carried away." He chuckled nervously. "You jar heads never learn." Eddie laughed. Spark watched as the hoof wrestling continued, he noticed Chris looking outside the window with his head against it, holding onto his injured left foreleg with his right. "What's th matter with you?" Spark Asked. "What do you think? I had my arm squashed by a fucking fat ass equine! How do you think I'm feeling!?" Chris said with fury in his voice. Spark only started to laugh, Chris rolled his eyes, and laid his head against the window again. "Don't worry you cry baby, we're gonna go somewhere that I know you'll enjoy." "What place can possibly lighten my mood." Chris huffed. Spark smiled, and laid a map across their table, revealing the map used to find the Marines. Chris noticed Manehattan crossed with a red X, and a place called Ponyville circled, and labeled 'Munitions Storage'. "See I knew you'd be happy." Spark chuckled. "Who wouldn't." Chris replied. "When do we head over there?" Chris asked. "Gotta ask Twilight for Intel on the place." Spark replied. Chris looked outside and noticed Canterlot appear over the horizen. "Looks like we're almost there." *THUD* Both Spark, and Chris looked back, and saw Eddie celebrating his victory over Phoenix. "Aha you ain't got shit on me!" Eddie yelled. Phoenix only growled, Eddie trotted over to Spark, and Chris."So what's the plan?" He asked. "Well we're gonna head to the Storage next, but I'm gonna ask Twilight for Intel surrounding it." Spark replied. "Cool sounds like a plan." Phoenix trotted over to the group, giving Eddie a huff of anger. "So what's I hear about a storage depot?" She asked. "Well like I was telling these three, we're gonna head over to a munitions storage later today." He answered. "Well that sounds fun." She said. "Also, I might need a few manpower to help in the recovery." "Don't worry I'll get a few of my boys to help ya out. Plus I'll be going with y'all." She replied. The train began to slow down, as it inched closer to the station, until it came to a complete stop. "We're here! Tell your men to grab all their gear, and regroup outside the train." Spark told Phoenix, "10-4." After a few minutes of duffle bags being thrown outside the train, everyone was waiting for further orders. "Alright, form in behind me to the castle." Spark commanded, everyone looked dumbfounded. "Castle, sir?" One of the Marines asked. "Yes a castle, but don't worry There's a FOB under construction." He reassured them. "But for now the castle is home base." The Marines still looked unsure about the situation of their soon to be living conditions, but didn't think much of it. "Let's get moving Marines!" Spark yelled. "HOORAH!" They shouted, as they picked up their gear, and followed Spark. It was a magical March to the castle, both Phoenix, and her Marines awed, and gasped at the medieval style structures. "This place is fucking rad!" One of the Marines yelled, Spark smirked he knew they'd have this sort of reaction. After about a 15 mins, they reached the castle gates. Which the guards quickly opened. "Afternoon, Sir!" One said holding the gate open at attention. "At ease." Spark replied, the guards closed the gates after, they went through. "What was that about?" Chris asked. "Don't know. Must have seen my insignia." Spark replied. "Same rank system then?" He said. "I suppose so." After entering another large set of doors, and down the massively large hallway to the throne room. Two guards on both sides of the door to the throne stood at attention promptly opening the door with magic. The Marines expressions were priceless. "How in the fuck!?" One of the Marines questioned. "Magic" Spark said sarcastically. The Marine just sighed, the throne room was empty surprisingly. "I wonder where everyone is" Spark thought. "Alright, Eddie show Phoenix and her soldiers to the ball room will ya." Phoenix gave Eddie a sly grin, he only signed and proceed to follow out his order. "I wonder how construction is going." Chris said. "Let's check shall we." Spark replied. Spark was surprised to see that the 'FOB' was literally a next to the castle, Spark noticed several construction ponies working on a barracks, including a concrete structure. Spark noticed a ponie trotting wearing an Army ACU towards him, and Chris. "Hello, sir glad you finally made it back!" The pony smiled saluting. "At ease Sergeant." Spark said. "How construction going?" "Awesome, we finally finished the foundation a day ago." He said. "Good to hear! By the way you might wanna expand the living quarters." Spark said observing the barracks that's being build. "Yes, sir!" The sergeant replied turning around to head back to the construction site before, Spark stopped him. "Wait before, you head back do you know where Twilight is?" Spark asked. "Oh, you mean Miss Sparkle. Yes, she's with Princess Celestia in the dinning room." He replied. "Thanks soldier, resume your duties." "Aye, sir." He said promptly leaving back to work. "I better go an supervise them." Chris said leaving Spark alone. Spark reentered the castle wondering the unknown corridors in hopes of finding the dinning hall "Note to self, memorize castles interior." Spark said to himself, he finally got the hint of where the room was after getting smacked in the face by the smell of food be cooked, and prepared. Finally, he was lead to the room by the smell, he slowly opened the door to peak inside, thankfully he saw Twilight, and Celestia sitting opposite of each other discussing something, he knocked on the wooden door and entered. Both, Twilight and Celestia snapped their heads towards the door. "Spark your back!" Twilight screamed in joy. "Nice to see, you to." Spark said rubbing the back of his head. "Anyway, I need your help." He said. "My help?" She tilted her head in confusion. "Yes, I need information about a town." He answered. "Sure! Whatever you need. Please take a seat." She said pointing towards the table. "Okay thanks." Spark sat across from where Celestia was sitting. "Let me just go fetch my writing equipment, and a map okay." Twilight smiled leaving the room, leaving a awkward silence between him, and Celestia. "Soooo how's it goin." Spark said smiling, Celestia gave Spark a glance and said. "Good I suppose, I hope my resurrection spell was of good use to you." Celestia said in her peaceful tone. "Yea it was." Spark replied. Another wave of silence swept over them. Finally, Celestia broke the silence once more, but saying something that completely took him by surprise. "I know how Twilight feels about you." She said. "What?" He states confused, she laughted and said. "Don't act dumb with me, I know you have feeling for her, I can sense it." Sparks eyes widened, and he blushed. "If any harm comes to her because of you. Don't expect me to go easy on you." Celestia said making a grin. Spark couldn't help but gulp. "I'm back, you two." Twilight said as she walked through the the wooden doors. "Hey waz up, Twilight!" Spark smiled. "Welcome back Twilight, but I must apologize I must be off to preform my royal duties." Celestia said sadly. "Ar-are you sure?" Twilight asked. "Yes, but don't worry I'll be back before lunch." Celestia reassured her. "Okay whatever you say." Twilight sighed, she watched as Celestia opened the door with magic and closed it behind her. "So, Spark what did you want to know?" She asked. "Oh uh I need info about a town called 'Ponyville'." He said. Twilight's eyes opened wide. "That's where I live!" She smiled. "Really? Cool so, you must know everything about it. Yes?" He responded. "You bet ya." She giggled. "Anyway. Yes, I live their, and know AlMOST everything." She said. "Okay then pass me a map, and a marker please." He said. Twilight levitated him a map including a red marker. Spark then proceeded to use his magic to circle a specific area in the town, he noticed Twilights smile fade to a frown, and the look of fear filled her eyes. "What's wrong." Spark asked concerned. "Well the area you just highlighted is a place called the 'Everfree Forest' the most evil, corrupt place in all of Equis!" She yelled making a fearful frown. "Wait.... Please tell your not planning on going inside!" She gasped. "Don't worry I'll be alright plus, I have to reclaim what was left behind in the forest." Sparked stated. "We-well I'm coming with you!" She yelled. "What why??? You just said it was the most dangerous place on Ear-Equis!" He tapped his hoof on the table with every word. "Well I don't care! I can't stand thinking of you getting hurt." She crossed her forehoofs, Spark sighed. "Well if you get hurt then it's my fault for bringing you." "Well you don't have to worry, because I'll just invite myself!" She countered. "Plus, it's not like somepony is gonna hunt you down to the ends of Equis over injuring myself." She said, Spark felt a shiver go down his spine. Celestia will." He whispered to himself. "What was that?" Twilight asked. "Nothin!" He said lying. "Well like I said, Im with you wether you like it or not." She made it crystal clear. "Fine, but don't go getting yourself killed will ya." He sighed. 2 HOURS LATER........ After about a few hours Spark had assembled a small scavanger team, consisting of 10 Army soldiers, and 10 Marines, including Eddie, Chris, Spark, Phoenix, and Twilight. Each member has a M16 fully armed and loaded. "General Sparks! We have a problem." An Army solider said to Spark. "What is it sergeant." Spark replied. The sergeant pulled out his M16, and pointed towards the trigger. "No fingers." He simply said. "Fuck I forgot about that that..." Spark thought for a minute until, he came up with a solution. "It's simple just remove the trigger guard." The sergeant smaked himself in the face for not comeing up with such a simple solution. The team then unscrewed the bolts holding the trigger guard to the rifles, Spark did the same thing to his Desert Eagle. "Everyone ready?" Spark asked. "Yes, sir!" All the soldiers yelled, Twilight just nodded. "Alright let's move." 3 HOURS LATER...... After a 3 hour long train ride. They reached the Ponyville train station. "Alright this way to the outskirts of the forest!" Twilight yelled. "Okay." Spark replied, they followed Twilight to the forest. The closer they got the more he regretted bringing Twilight along for the operation. "Here we are." Twilight said with fear in her voice, Spark looked at the sun, and his shadow it was around 1800 hours. "Alright, team we got a mission to do! Be prepared for hostile engagement, and look for any suspicious structures." Spark yelled. "Yes,sir!" The team walked into the forest following a dirt path. Spark couldn't help, but shiver to the eerie noise the forest emitted. It was like a the trees were growling, and breathing heavily. The sun set faster than he expected it to. "Lights on." He commanded, everyone's TAC lights went on from their rifles. Spark felt his heart pump, he also felt Twilight's body touch him as they walked through the forest obviously out of fear of separating from the group. Suddenly he saw glowing mushrooms emitting a green color along with a completely darkened forest which absorbed the light from the TAC lights, he felt as if they were being watched. Suddenly the lead sergeant raised a hoof signaling them to stop. "D-do you guys hear that???" They all suddenly began to listen to their surrounding. He suddenly heard as if demonic like music began to play, (Song) he then noticed deep voices start to mutter strange words, until it turned into a sort of dubstep song. "G-guys I don't like this." A Marine said. "Get a hold of yourself Marine!" Phoenix yelled. "Do we have visual on the source of the music?" Spark said. "Negative, sir!" One the soldiers said. "Be prepared for an ambush!" Spark warned, Spark heard Twilight muttering something while shaking uncontrollably. "What's wrong Twilight???" Spark asked worried. "Blood in the Everfree." She said. "What?" Spark asked confused. "Blood in the Everfree." She said again. "Twilight!" He said in a higher tone, he waved a hoof In front of Twilight getting no response. "T-Twilight..." He shakily said, she slowly turned her head towards him with dilated pupils. "Blood will be spilled in the Everfree." She said. "W-What?" He said, she slowly placed a hoof to his chest, and said. "They want your blood to be felt across the Everfree." She said giggling. "Th-They.....w-want.....Y-you.......NOW!!!" She screamed sending a shockwave across the surrounding brush sending everyone to the ground, her horn lit a crimson red as, she dragged Spark to the middle of the forest clearing, she lowered her head to Spark's face until their noises touched each other. "T-Twilight what has gotten into you! Please stop this!!!" He screamed as he felt something pinch his stomach area. "Don't worry.... The pain will be all gone soon." She calmly said as, she gave Spark a kiss on the lips, he squinted in pain as he felt a warm liquid flow from his stomach to the ground, he opened his eyes to meet Twilights he felt his heart race as he saw her eyes turn from a beautiful purple to white pupils surrounded in a completely black eyes. "ARGGHH!!!" He screamed as he felt some sort of claw enter, his body through his bleeding stomach. "AHHH!!!" He screamed in pain, he saw Twilight laugh demonically. Suddenly he felt something grab his bottom legs and start to slowly bend them, he heard a sick crack as bones from his leg began to give out under the pressure, he gritted his teeth warm tears falling from his eyes to the ground. "No need to cry SPARK!" Twilight said. He was sobbing out of pain. "P-please stop I beg you!!! ARGH!" He felt the claw twist inside of him as he pleaded for mercy. More blood rushed out of his wound, he felt as his fore legs were grasped by an unseen force, and slowly began to bend in places they shouldn't be soon to meet the same fate as his bottom legs, Spark saw in horror as a spear shaped rock was levitated over to his face surrounded in a crimson aura. "Time for your medicine!" Twilight giggled as, she forced Sparks mouth open. "Open wide this will only take a minute." She said. "I wonder if I could pull this out from your stomach." She grinned evilly, as she forced the rock into his mouth, and down his throat, Spark coughed the rock out which was followed by blood. "N-No more p-please..." Spark pleaded. "Why should I? The children love you!" Twilight said. "They want MORE suffering!" She said. Spark whimpered as one wing was Forcefully spread open. "My little death angel." She laughed as, she slowly ran a hoof through it. Spark felt, Twilight's hoof rubbing his wing, he knew she was looking for the most effective use of toture as long as it got him to suffer. "Ah, I know wing amputation!" She smiled in glee. "But it has to be slow, and painful and I know the perfect tool." She said levitating a very dull rock the size of a hoof over his exposed wing. "Let's play a game." She said. "Every scream of agony costs your wing its life." She said looking over his body, Spark was now panting heavily which would show, his rib cage after every Breath. "Perfect!" She said happily, he suddenly felt a pressure being applied to one of the Many ribs in his chest. "N-No please!" He yelled gritting his teeth. *CRACK* "Fuck!" He screamed as on rib snapped off from his rib cage. "Next one!" She said, once again Spark felt a pressure being applied to a rib, he couldn't stand the pain any longer and let out a scream of agony which was followed by a quick impact by the rock on the part of the wing connecting to the body. This happens for a few minutes until one final smack met with a crack of a bone in his wing indicating that flesh was the only thing keeping, his wing attached to the rest of, his body. "Oops looks like you lost." She said as she slowly began to twist the wing off his body. His vision began to fade as he heard Chris yell "SPARK!!!" Followed by a few bursts of an M16. He saw Twilights body fall over to his side to be replaced by a dark figure. "IT FEELS SO GOOD!" It screamed as he saw the figure shove its arm deeper into his stomach, Spark started to cough out blood, he felt blood ooze from his nose, ears. "You not gonna die yet, you Angel!" It said, Spark felt like broken glass was being forced down his throat." Spark could feel his last breaths escaping his lungs until, he a voice he thought he'd never hear again. "GET OFF HIM!!!" Spark saw as a Purple laser struck the demon sending dust to be blown away. "Spark! Can you hear me!" He felt a set of hoofs grab both sides of his head, and moved to face Twilight. "Don't worry Sparky I'm here." Chris ran towards Sparks aid, he dropped his rifle next to Spark, and noticed Twilight sobbing on his right fore hoof, he placed a ear to Sparks bloody chest hearing the faint beating of his heart. "We need to get him somewhere more secure!" He yelled to Twilight, she nodded gently lifting him up with her magic. "Eddie can you hear me?" He yelled. "Yea!" A response came. "What about, Phoenix?" He yelled again. "I'm alright!" He heard her voice. "Alright regroup on me now! Damnit!" He saw all the soilders run up to him. "Alright we need to find a secure place now!" He screamed. "Aye, sir!" After running through the forests brush they reached a door leading into a unknown building. "Sergeant get that door open!" He said pointing to one of the Marines. "Aye, sir!" *ROAR!!!* Everyone turned their eyes towards the path they just came through. "What the fuck was that!?!" Phoenix screamed. "Timber Wolves!" Twilight screamed. "Open that door now goddamnit!" He yelled at the Marine. "I-I almost got it." He yelled back. The sound wood hitting each other got closer. "Hurry they can smell the blood of the wounded!" Twilight yelled. "Got it!" The Marine said kicking the door open. "Quick everyone inside!" Chris commanded. Just as he closed the door he saw a wooden wolf pounce towards the metal door crashing into it, he quickly placed a random crate to the door blocking it. "I think we're safe." He panted. "Where are we?" Eddie asked. I don't know." Chris replied, he used his TAC light to look around until he found a switch connected to the wall in which, he pulled. Lights began to flicker on all over the interior of the building. "Holy mother of god..." .
