Hidden Nature

Mean while back in Ponyvillie.

"I just received a letter from Luna. She could not make it but she sent some troops to try to catch it alive." Twilight informed the others.

"Do you think they can handle it?" Asked Rainbow Dash.

"I'm sure they can." Replied Apple Jack.

"But all we can do is wait for now." Chimed in Rarity.

After walking around this natural garden, admiring its looks and the colorful flowers.

"Gather more supplies and get ready." I heard in a cold yet caring whisper.

I look around but at the same time I thought it came from my head. I been lonely for a long time but I get social with some people at work. But this is scary and not sure I should listen to it. I decide to head back in to get my pack and head to the farm. Maybe there is a barn full of useful things there and hopefully a crowbar. I sling my pack on and head where I saw the apple orchard.

After an hour of walking I found it but I see a few ponies outside. I climb up into a tree and stay hidden as I watch them. I see the orange one with the cowboy hat on rush to them then all of them left. I wonder what that was about but I jump out and rush into the barn. After looking around I grab a box of nails, screws, glue, rope, duck tape, a small can of oil, and a small crowbar. I look around then rush into their house to look around, I grab a few glass bottles of apple juice in the kitchen. After looking around some more I find a short barrel pump action shotgun and some buck shots for it.

Smiling I take them and see they have a bolt action rifle with a scope on it as I sling it on and steal ammo as well. I think I over stayed my welcome as I decide to rush out of the house before they get back. After a mad dash to the tree line and bushes I get low and sneak around to the town. And once there and still hidden I draw my rifle and get a good look at the ones in armor. It looks like there about to set out as the purple alicorn addresses the town.

"Just one shot could make your life easier." I head the voice tell me.

But I'm in enough shit as it is without a assassination of a political leader. But why would I have the thought of killing her? Is this world changing me mentally? Fuck if I know, I better look around. I zoom in on the clock tower and see a sniper nicely hidden up there with a no doubt a military grade rifle. Thinking this is a dumb idea I should head back to my hide out and do so slowly and carefully.

Once inside the castle I start to make barricades at some doors and holes I haven't use yet with wood and old furniture. I nail some nails thought thin wood boards and bury them in soft ground and cover them up, saving the rest for later. Once done making more traps I sit in a dark corner and put ear buds in and play some music to calm me a bit. I sing to the song as I take apart each gun and examine each one carefully, I am happy to see each gun was well taken care of before I stole them. Then I count each bullet I have and smile as I have enough to get me by if I use them well. I put them back together and away then open a cocktail and add some oil in it before closing it back up.

I notice movement in the coroner of my eye as I turn to look at it. Its a moving shadow of a large looking alicorn. I rush up and draw my revolver and knife.

"Do not be afraid my child." It spoke exactly like the voice I heard from my mind.

"I only wish to help you." It draws a sword.

"Who are you!?" I asked a bit panicked.

"I am the goddess of the night Nightmare Moon."

"I read a story about you. Your a living form of shadows and darkness itself."

"That's right young child. I see you need some help and therefor I will help you." She said as a matter of fact.

"I will teach you the way of the sword and shadows. You may not be able to use magic but I give you some helpful tips."

"Whats the catch?" I asked as I put away my weapons.

"You see I have a traitor in my cult. Luckily for you he is here in town . Kill him and I shell teach you things."

"I will but what does he look like?"

"His fur is light brown, has a candle for a cutie mark, and has blond mane and tail."

"Got it I will kill him tonight." I grab my rifle and sling on.

I grab my pack and head back to town and hide as I scan for this guy. After looking all around I find him and follow him back to his home and stay hidden in a box as I wait for night. This night is damn dark with a the moon being a curve slit in the sky as I make my way into the home. I carefully use the crowbar to break in and close it. I look into each room and see my target sleeping I creep to him as I draw my knife and stab him in the throat as he shots awake and tries to scream and squirm then goes limp as blood flows out of his throat and onto the bed sheets and floor as I slowly pullout.

I wipe my knife clean on the bed sheets and light a candle at the highest point. I turn on the gas stove and rush outside and a few moments later the whole house goes into a fiery explosion as I watch the flames eat away at the building and anything else near it. Smiling as every pony comes out to see whats going on as they try to put out the fire. I rush back to the castle and see a shadowy form of Nightmare Moon.

"Good job." She smiles.

"Thank you goddess." I give a slight bow.

"Now I shell teach you how to use that blade. But you must go to sleep."

I nod and go to lay down on my sleeping bag and fall asleep. After sometime I pass out and wake up in a white room and see she with a smile as we get our blades ready. Soon I do as she does and sprawl against her for what felt like hours. Soon I wake up with the bright sun shining in my face as I get up and draw the sword and try out what I learn in the dream. I smile as I see how well I did and put it away. I get something to eat and drink then heads out to the creek.

I get some more water and filter it out then strips a bit and drives into the water and washes up some. After a bit I put my cloths back on and heads back to the town. I see every pony is still in dismay about what I did as the troops investigate. I smile as I smell smoke, burnt meat, and some blood. I head near the market area and it seems normal there. But I see a few guys that seem to dress the same, they are wearing dark blue suits.

I feel something grab me and drag me far back into the wood. Once I stop I get up and look around. Soon a monster made out of all kinds of animal parts with a pair of white eyes with red pupils.

"So you must be the one cause a bit of chaos and fear." He said in a English style accent.

"Yup. But in my defense they started it first."

"Oh I know but here is a fair warning. If you harm Fluttershy in anyway I will end your spree for good."

"So what are you and whats your name?" I asked a bit puzzled by its looks.

"I was the former god of chaos Discord and I am a draconequus." He smiles as he said it with pride.

"I like you cause some chaos around here in this world but try not to go overboard." He fade away and drop something as he said that.

I pick it up and look at it. Its a very detailed map of the whole town and a train schedule to different towns and their times along with a digital watch. I put the watch on and and fiddle with it to see what it all can do. Smiling I head back to the castle and lay the map out on the floor and put paper weights on each corners of it and study it. Right away I notice a land mark north of here circled in red saying "Stop them!" I grab my rifle and my pack and head there.

Once there I walk into a canyon and see a shack and see dogs walking on their hind legs and talking to a unicorn. I draw my rifle and zoom in on them as I see the pony giving them a big bag as the dogs bring out a create. The pony draws a gun and shoots on of them as the other kills him as two more rush out.

Getting ammo ready and take a few deep breaths I snipe them one at a time as the drop and bleed. I wait before moving out or my hiding place and head to the shack with my revolver drawn.

"Fuck yea."

I look the money and ammo they had on them then look into the shack to see a stock pail of all kinds of weapons and ammo. I smile as I get two .45s with extended mags, ammo pouches, a semi auto sniper rifle with the best scope I can find for it as well as sound suppressors for it and my pistols, ammo, and a compact AR with a flash suppressor, drum mags, normal mags, and a red dot scope on it.

I rush back to the castle to set them down then head back to the shack and loot some more. I keep doing this until I cleaned out that shack. And as I loot I see I got some C-4, land mimes, smoke grandes, and normal pine apple grandes. I move the bodies into the shack then blow it up as I run back to the castle. Once in my room I see that the train schedule had marks on it. There is a circle around a location, Hoffington- 2:15 pm. I set up a explosive trap around some door ways where the stretcher is weak in case they find my hide out.

I saw the date is tomorrow and grab my suppressed UMP .45 and ammo for it and put it in my pack then grab some C-4 and head to the train tracks. Carefully I set some into the ground under the tracks at each end of each other.

I set up a hidden camp near the tracks, ready to hop on it once it gets here. I eat a bit and drink once in awhile as I take a long nap and simply wait. I wake up with the bright sun hitting my face as I sit up and look at the time. Its 11:26 am. Damn that was a long nice sleep. I eat a bit of fruit I had and go deeper into the woods for a bathroom break before going back and stocking the tracks.

Right on time the train came and wait for it to start moving again as I dash to it and hop on the back and hold on to the bar as the soldiers sees me and try to hit me as I rush in the caboose and set off the C-4 on the tracks to destroy them as I hear screams on the inside as I draw my UMP and cock it.

"If any of you turn on the safety breaks I will kill every children on here!" They hold their children close to them as I shoot a guard on broad.

"I'm not afraid to kill anyone in my way!" I enforce this statement by shooting griffin with my 1911 pistol.

Everyone cowered in fear as the get away from me. After about two hours I move back to the caboose and unhook the cart as the train keeps going as I slowly stop and steal some food and drinks. Once they are far enough away I get off and follow the track to the town. Staying close to cover in case soldiers followed. Later, close to night fall I find a trail as I decide to follow it. Up ahead I can see a log cabin with two old looking ponies rocking in their rocking chairs on the porch. Both holding shot guns and taking shoots at trash with happens to me near me as I get to cover.

Panting a bit I rush away and find a river and follow it to the town I decide to go to. I keep moving as I hear wolves howl in the distance as I see the glow of a big city. Smiling I get another step as I get caught in a snare trap as I hung a few feet off the ground as I swing around a bit. I draw my knife and cut the rope as I drop and pick up what fell off of me. I keep walking as I hear meany clicks of firearms as I look around and see ponies pointing ARs at me. I notice all of them are dressed in a spec ops style gear and wearing a moon patch.

"Your the human?" One of them asked me in a rough voice as I nod my head.

They lower their weapons. "Follow us." They start walking as I follow them.

Soon we get to a blimp as they get on it as I do as well. Its nice looking on the inside as I take a seat as they give me odd looks and stare at me.

"Can you take off your mask?" A mare ask me.

"I can but I don't want to." I replied as I lay back.

"We have the package." I heard the leader speak into the radio system. "ETA one hour."

They sit and wait until an hour later we land on a tall skyscraper. We all get off as the blimp flies away. As we see more ponies armed with ARs and SMGs as the stand in a line.

"Don't worry, they wont shoot unless you do anything threatening." He walks off.

We follow him inside and into a elevator down a few floors and then head to a large wooden doors.

"You have to go in alone." I nod as I open the doors and walk inside.
