Proofread and Edited by Chase Nimble. Based on Ten rounds by Defoloce. It was originally going to be a one shot but I have written this at 01:44 AM, and need my beauty sleep.
Evolution brought about another species whose intelligence vastly outclassed our own. They took us on without warning, without provocation, and they won. Now, the last of our kind are struggling to survive. Will they find somewhere to call home, or will they perish under the rule of this new, more powerful species? Well, one band of humans won't bow to Celestia, it's the humans instinct.

Ten to Six

Ten men were scattered around the old compound, either against a open window, hidden inside, or looking out for the war machine, on top of the building, waiting for them to come. Outside of the grey compound was a dense forest, filled with birds cawing into the mild wind. Beside the fact that the E.T.A, Equestrian Transformation Army, was coming to turn them into their own kind, the men were quite subtle. There was Bolt, who was calmly munching on a cigar in a desolate corner of the room, which smelt of rotten wood, although it was made only a few months ago. Mink and Monech just played cards in the corner, while Alphex strolled around on the top of the compound, humming.

"When will they attack?" Mink questioned, but still looking down at his unlucky choice of cards, grunting.

"Sparta called in a hour ago, saying they were under attack and all, but since we've got the missile launch remote, I think they'll be searching around the forest, so the four legged fucks should be on our doorstep in a hour or two." Monech replied, his eyes scanning the exterior of the compound, as they were positioned beside a window, then looking back at his cards.

The band of men were given a remote, that could change the tide of this horrifying war, if the clouds were clear and there were no air traffic, they could launch it at Canterlot. Maybe not ending the war, but certainly leaving a scar from humanity. They hoped and prayed, but there were too many pegasi flying about to be able to fire the warhead. Mink was about to fold, when he heard a noise from his compact radio.

"Alphex, is that you?" I said, standing up, the only time you were contacted on the radio is if it was important,.

"Yeah, Mink there is a lot of pegasi scanning the area here! It's only a matter of, FUCK!," BANG! The sound of a round hitting the floor and a 50. Cal, ear hurting noise went off. "Sorry! They got too close, I'm coming back down!"

"Man your stations, men! This is it!" Monech ordered to the other six men.

They got to their positions, most now being beside an open window. They took as much ammo as they needed from the crates delivered from Recon Outpost, and went through the drill that had been "drilled" into their heads. If they were ever under attack: kick over anything, as the ponifaction serum can't penetrate anything. Footsteps were heard, and Alphex entered the room.

"Mink, I've got the the remote, Hoek and I will hide at the back, if we want a chance at launching the missile and destroying Canterlot." Alphex said, panting as he'd been running with a Barrett 50.cal. Mink nodded and Alphex turned, and called for Hoek before running off.

Mink looked outside the window, the pegasi had disappeared from their location, but they had been notified as offenders, and would be back with a much larger force.

*Ten Minutes Later*

Subtle and ShadowFlash were beside each other, looking out a window into the sky. ShadowFlash decided to converse.

"So, Subtle, do you think we might pull through this? You know, like last time, but this looks as if it's going to be much bigger." ShadowFlash asked, he was usually a talkative kid, and liked to talk his worries anyway. They all liked his personality.

"Let me leave you with a phrase, "After two world wars, the collapse of fascism, Nazism, communism, colonialism, and the end of the cold war, humanity has entered a new phase of its history." Subtle replied. ShadowFlash turned to face him.

"Cool, but I know a so much cooler quote, ‘If it's hostile, you kill it.’ oh yeah, I also kn-."

ZING! A ball sparkling goo went flying through the air and slapped against ShadowFlash's face. They were now under attack. Above him, he could hear the sound of the bullets zooming into the night sky. Subtle turned to face the now half pony half human, he mumbled a prayer, raised his M4A1, and capped Shadow in his muzzle.

Nine Lives.

Wolf and Wisp drew their rifles at the earth ponies that were sprinting like a Cheetah, racing it's meal. Wisp was usually a good shot, as he found it easy to down the Unicorns advancing to their compound, flinging their serum goo at the building, but Wolf just sprayed his AK-74 at anything that had four legs. Wolf looked up into the sky to see something darting towards him. Manually, Wolf blazed his rifle at the Pegasus advancing towards him and a bullet clipped its wing; it spiraled down into the earth.

Wolf sighed with relief and looked down to see a blur rushing towards him, he tried to raise his weapon but it was too late. In a flash, a yellow pony was on top of him, and since the earth ponies were armed with stun buzzers strapped on their hooves, his legs jolted, he quickly realized fate had caught up with him. He'd been stunned, but not that bad. His legs were disabled, for the moment. Luckily, his arms still had their nerve in them.

"But we just want to be your friend!" The bright yellow said with a smirk plastered on his face.

He thought about pulling the M67 grenade out of his pouch, but blood sprayed over his face, and he felt something grabbed his shirt. He looked up to see a lifeless pony corpse as he was being pulled away. It was Wisp.

"Thank God, FUCK, my legs!" He whelped in pain, he quickly reacted as he pulled out his pistol from his holster, looking for any earth ponies trying to get in.

Wisp dragged him into an nearly empty room. Wolf tried to stand, he staggered, but got himself up after a minute of whining in pain. Wisp had closed the door, and leaned against the open window, were he was picking off any of the E.T.A. Wolf looked around for a spare rifle. After searching around, he found a pile of miscellaneous stuff, and from it he heaved out a plastic shotgun. He thought a kid left in behind, but on the side it had AA12 Fully Auto Shotgun. Surprised but concerned, he took out the drum and inside it had live rounds.

"Wisp, look what I found!" Wisp didn't turn around, but he did when he heard the door get smacked down and saw three earth ponies, a unicorn, and a newly turned Pegasus on the ground.

Eight Lives

"I feel SO much better! Please Wisp! Join us!" The Pegasus said. The earth ponies were now holding Wisp down with force, and the Unicorn was walking up to him.

"Let go!" He screamed, but hung his head in dismay when the Unicorn had a glob of serum dripping from her hoof. Suddenly, a soothing voice sounded.

"Shhh, It'll be better on the other side, okay?" The Unicorn spoke.

"Fuck off you piece of shit!"

All went silent as the Unicorn smeared the goo over his arm.

Seven Lives.

Although there was a puddle of goo and a corpse in front of him, Subtle stayed in his position. It was hard, as there were two windows, one were ShadowFlash should be, but Subtle managed as most of the ponies didn't notice him. Picking off a few ponies, he saw outside, a golden carriage pulled up some meters away from the goo covered compound. "Shit..." He mutters, as he backs away from one of the windows, as his back faces the other window. Subtle drew out his radio.

"Mink, the Princesses are here!" He shouted.

"Aww shit, yeah I see em', sit tight and give em' hell!" The radio buzzed as he puts it back in his pouch, but something grabs his shoulder and pulls him out of the open window. He screams with mercy, but he is cut off as he is kicked in the ribs by an earth pony. The pony hollers, and as Subtle looks up, groaning in pain, he sees a Pegasus come straight down and forcefully grabs one of his arms.

The Pegasus starts beating her wings and slowly she takes off with the hopeless human still in her grasp. Subtle is constantly screaming as she goes higher, his grip on the Pegasus loosens, he loses his grip and while screaming, he falls to his death.

Six lives.
