Noble Six: Off the Record

I felt like I was floating in space. I had the strangest feeling that I've done something right. Then, all my memories came flooding back. How I helped save the world. How I died fighting for it. How I watched my friends die fighting for it.

Just then, it felt like every thing snapped into place and I was laying on the ground.

"Six, Six. Is that you?" I heard a familiar but low voice. All I could do is moan. For some strange reason I had my helmet back on.

"Six, if your not dead wake up." He said as I coughed. "Well at least your not dead." He said.

I started to sit up. "Carter? Is that you?!" I asked excitedly. "How are you alive? I watched you die." I told him.

"Wow, more talkative today aren't we. Did you and noble 4 make it to the cannon?" He asked.

"Yea, but he didn't make it. Emile is dead." I told him.

"No, he isn't. I've been picking up his signal all over comms. Actually, I've been picking up the whole squad." He told him.

"How is that possible? We watched all of them die." I said.

"I don't know, but there her-. Picking up movement, stay frosty." He said handing me a magnum.

Just then we saw green eyes coming from the bushes. Then a giant wooden wolf stepped out along with two others. Carter fired two shots into him and blew off a leg, which quickly reattached itself.

"We gotta move six!" He said picking me up to my feet. We both sprinted as fast as we could until we came out if the tree line, but those creatures weren't losing any headway.

"There to fast, there gonna catch us sooner or later carter!" I yelled breathing hard.

"I'd rather it be *pant* later." He said as we saw a town over the horizon with a large castle like structure made of crystal. "If we can make it to that town we will live to see another day!" He said.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Its with them, or take our chances with that village." He said.

"I, see your point." I said.

"We got a signal moving in!" Carter yelled.

"Who!" I yelled back.

"Kat! Figures she'd find us first!" He said. After that we saw a blue figure come from our side and start running next to us.

"You boys miss me?" She asked.

"Nows not the time for jokes Kat!" He said still breathing hard.

"You never had a sense of humor. Did you Carter?" She asked.

"I do have a sense of humor! I just don't like to use it when I'm being chased by blood thirsty animals!" He yelled at her which caused a few giggles from both me and her.

We reached the outskirts of that town and we saw a sign called 'Ponyville'.

"Kat, do you still have some of those grenades?" I asked.

"I have some plasma grenades." She said as we saw six equines staring at us until they saw the wolves behind us.

"Give me one, NOW!" I yelled.

She handed me a grenade, I pushed the button, aimed, and threw it. It stuck right on the wolves foot. The others moved in to see what it was. While the wolf was trying to shake it off it exploded and blew them to splinters.

The six equines looked like they've seen a ghost. Now that I'm really getting a look at them, their ponies.

"Carter, *Deep breath* am I just seeing things." I said as carter turned and looked up at them.

Carter just sat on the ground and started at them. Kat was dumbfounded by them.

"Uh, Hello." I said.

"Ohmygosh! They talk!" The one in the middle yelled.

"Twilight, I'm not dealing with this today. They look like no trouble , besides they just saved Ponyville, and I've got a lot of work to do." The one to the left with a orange coat and a cowboy hat said.

"Aw! Come on Applejack!" The rainbow one said.

"Don't be like that Rainbowdash, you know today I have to harvest zap apples. Big Macs coverin fer me while I'm gone." She said. Or at least I think she is a she.

"Uh, were still here." Kat said.

When she finished the one in the middle was about to say something when we heard a sound behind us.

"You've got to be FUCKING KIDDING ME!" Carter yelled as the splinters behind us started forming into one giant wolf bringing in trees from the forest we just ran out of.

Then, out of nowhere we heard a really loud gunshot. All the ponies were scared senseless by the noise.

The head of the wolf flew off and the body crumpled soon after. Then a familiar sight started walking toward us with his rifle still smoking.

"Emile! How did you find us?!" Kat yelled.

"Well, I heard the sound of a plasma grenade and thought it had to be one of two things, you guys, or Covenant." He said putting the rifle of his back.

"That noise is sure to draw attention, hopefully gorge." I said.

"Do any if you know how were alive?" Emile asked. "Cause I'm pretty sure I'm dead."

"Just go with it Emile." Carter said.

The equines that were standing there just kept looking at us funny. Minus one because she had to go harvest something called zap apples.

"WHAT WAS THAT NOISE!" The purple one yelled.

"It was a gunshot." Emile said.

"WHAT!" She yelled.

"Guess its the first time shes heard one." Kat said. The other four were rolling on the ground holding their ears. One just outright fainted all together.

"Kat. Can you locate gorge?" I asked.

"I already have, or his helmet at least." She said because the trackers we wear are in our helmets. "He is in that forest we just came out of."

"Noble team, move out." He said as we all stood up and followed his lead.

"WAIT! YOU CAn't  just go!" The purple one named Twilight yelled, slowly getting her hearing back.

"What do you mean we can't go! Our friend is somewhere in that forest!" Carter yelled.

"Then let us accompany you. We know that forest better than anyone."  She said.

"She has a point." Kat said.

"Fine, but don't go running off. I didn't have protect civilians on my list of things to do." He said. We weren't really surprised at their appearance. We've seen things way worse than this.

"Don't call us civilians. We saved this world more time than you can count." Twilight said.

"Actually it was more like 8 times." The yellow one said.

"Shhh Fluttershy, not helping." The cyan one named Rainbowdash said.

"We can argue about this later, we need to move." Carter told them. They all nodded in agreement and followed carters lead.

The pink one looked like she was about to explode. She jumped on top of me and said. "Whatareyouwhyareyouheredoyoulikepartiesimgoingtithrowyouapartyawelcometoponyvilleparty!" She yelled when Twilight put her hoof over her mouth.

"Not now pinkie!" She said as we entered the forest.

"He is straight ahead and to our left." Kat said looking at her holopad.

"But thats Zecoras hut!" Rainbowdash exclaimed!

"Who is Zecora?" Carter asked.

"You'll see when we get there darling." The white one said.

We rounded a corner and right there was a house cut into a tree.

"He's in there." Kat said.

We all walked up to the door and knocked. A zebra answered.

"Ah, these mist be your friends you were talking about, they seem to be making a rout." She said in a rhyme.

We looked past her and saw gorge sitting down with a big cut in his side that went through his armor.

"Gorge, are you okay!" I yelled.

"Six, is that you!?" Gorge asked excitedly.

I walked in and over to him. I grabbed his hand, pulled him in, and patted him on the back. He did the same.

"It's so nice to see you again." I said.

I heard one of the ponies ask. "Whats his deal?"

With Emile responding. "The last time he saw him was when he sacrificed himself to save our planet."

After that I pulled away and heard a grunt of pain from noble five.
