Chapter three friends in need

"ah fuck!" Nomad groan in pain looking around his soundings. He still has his weapons and gear that's good and by the look of things he manage to take cover just in time before the bombs fell but the pain started to grow even worse we he try's to get up. Looking down at his at himself trying to the cause of this horrible torment but when he looked he wish he didn't for a fragment of the bomb has connected to his left leg and another one on his waist "okay clam down just pull it ou-ahhh" Nomad tried taking the shrapnel on his leg out first but it was too painful to remove it "shit...okay one more time" once more he tried taking the piece of metal out but he couldn't for the pain was too much for him and he knew if he doesn't treat that injure fast he would bleed out but before he can go back on removing the metal he hears foot steps coming towards him "shit" he immediately grabs his H.I.V.E launcher ready for whatever is coming his way as the footstep became louder he sees somebody in the distance as it got closer Nomad tried talking to it

"identify yourself or I will fire!" he ordered the stranger "identification Experimental War Robot code name Reaper" he replied as Nomad got a good look at him and sighed in relief "oh thank god its you wait how did you survived?"

"the air strike was lock on our position but not the scout's"

"wait did you run towards them?"

"that is correct"

"and what happened to them?"

"neutralized. kill count 23"

"is the area clear?"

"affirmative"

"okay good. help me out here" Reaper put his hand around the shrapnel "this may cause some discovered so try to-"

"just take it out!" Nomad yelled wanting to get this over with and so it did when Reaper pulled back his hand holding the blood covered shrapnel and Nomad scream out in pain "ah fuck that hunts!"

"are you ready for the next one?"

"yeah *heavy breathing* make it quick" then Reaper did the same thing with his waist and had the same pain as the last "aaaahhhh fuck" Nomad groan clenching his hands into fists "okay... okay now I need you to disinfect the wound...there should be a med kit on my bag"

Nomad rolled to his side taking of his bag and giving it to Reaper as he searched for the med kit "med kit acquired" Reaper said showing it Nomad "okay good now you know what to do right?"

"affirmative i have over 287-"

"okay, okay I get it you know stuff now patch me up"

five minutes later

after one more roll around his leg the bandage now covered the wound showing a bit of blood where Reaper removed the fragment "can you walk?" Reaper ask

"no. I think the fragment went though my tibia"

"do you require me to assist you?" Reaper ask "yeah sure" Nomad lifted his  hand up as Reaper grab it and put it across his own pulling him up "now all we need to find the others" Nomad said looking around "HAY Reaper, Nomad over here!" yelled a filmier voice. When they turn around they saw the others walking towards them "and what happened to you?" Battery playfully said "damn pieces of metal hit me" Nomad replied "can you fight?" Prophet asked

"yeah I can manage expected I can't walk"

"and the scouts?"

"Reaper took care of them"

"alright then looks like the only thing we have to worry about now is the robots and sentry guns and if Spectre dose his/her job right its the robots we only have to worry about"

"guardian three whats your statues over?" the CDP soldier said over his communicants device on his left shoulder "all clear" the voice replied then the guard change his radio frequency to another channel "guardian four whats you're statues?" there was no reply and ask again "guardian four what is your statues over" again no reply "guardian four are you there?" yet again no reply "hay you two go to section C and check up on guardian four" he ordered the two guards next to him "yes sir" they said as they walk to the elevator door "section C right?" the guards ask his friend

"yeah section C" she said as the doors open. As they entered the elevator one pushed the button to their destination as doors closed once more "you know when I joined the CDP I expected to see some action not guarding a power generator the size of a building" he said annoyed "yeah I know what you mean I been serving for three years and I haven't even killed anybody" his friend replied and waited for their stop "okay lets do this" when the elevator door opened the other side was covered in darkness "that weird why the lights off?"

"doesn't matter we still have a job to do turn on your flashlight on your gun" she said as both of them turn on their flashlights "okay lets split up i'll take left you take right"

"got it" as they went their different paths they couldn't see each others light anymore "okay find a guy and ask him what's wrong with is communicants and leave...in the dark. This should be interesting" the guard said to herself. After a couple of step forward she heard a dripping sound to her right and out of curiosity she went to check it out but as she reached the end of the hall she saw nothing until she felt something touch her cheek and with a wipe her hand she seeing that it was some sort of liquid but its the color that go her attention for it was a dark red then decide to look up and saw a horrifying sight "my god" she whisper and almost vomiting for it was the guard that they were sent for with is neck cut open like if he was dissected for a science project but before she can call for his friend for assistance she haired gun fire along with a scream "Jack?! hang on i'm on my way!" she yelled and started sprinting towards the direction where his friend went.

After minutes of running she stop as she saw him laying on the ground with his neck cut open as well "oh my god Jack!" running to his body checking his vitals but it was hopeless. She stopped what she was doing releasing that he was dead. Getting up and turning off the safety on her gun looking around trying to find the monster who have done this. As she keep looking fear starts to take hold as her heart beats faster and faster. Changing her mind on finding who ever done this she quickly runs to the elevator but before she can enter she was contained by two arms behind her. Struggling to break free of the attacker's hold on her one of his arms took hold of her neck and the other arm to gaped her by the head pulling her hair down leaving her throat exposed then all of a sudden the arm holding her neck let go and a blade of some sort of potted out his wrist and quickly cutting her throat in an instant. The attacker finally lets go of her letting her walk around in panic before falling down. knelling down the attacker reached for the key card on her chest "thanks now do me a favor and die" was all he said before going to the elevator and pressing the button to the top floor and leaving the guard to die in the dark.

"too easy" Spectre muttered to himself/herself as he/she using the key card he/she took from the guard to gain access to the more high ranking areas and pressed the button that his/her target was "the main power generator" Spectre muttered as he/she got her self ready for whats about to happen next.

"sir we have an elevator coming our way" the CDP Sargent told the high ranking officer "ugh I thought I make it clear that no one is allowed in the main power generator without my authorization. Sargent take your squad and kill who ever is in that elevator" the officer said furiously "sir isn't that a little harsh maybe he just press the wrong button or it's someone important sir" the Sargent protested "first of all the buttons are too far apart and labeled, also why would someone important come to a waste land like this now take your squad and kill this son of a bitch do I make my self clear?!" officer said with his face red as a tomato "y-yes sir" the Sargent said taking his squad to the elevator on the left hall

"I can't believe we are doing this. He's out of control" one of the squad members said in anger "well it's ether kill a guy our get court marshaled and I prefer not to go to jail" another replied "sir I know you know this is wrong" he said to his Sargent "look I don't like it ether but he's in charge and don't worry that fucker is going to pay for what he is ordering. For now let just make it quick for him" he said as they arrived at the elevator door pointing their weapon and ready fire. When the elevator door opened they saw nothing and no trace that someone used it "oh thank god its empty. Looks like no one has to die today"

"but who activated it?" the Sargent whispered "come on lets go tell him that it noth-" before the soldier can finish his sentence all the light in the hall turned off "shit something is here with us quick turn on your flashlight on your weapon!" the Sargent ordered his squad turning his flashlight on first and the rest did the same. "stick together" the Sargent said as the squad huddled up then saw a blue light where they have entered the hall but as they looked closely they can see the light's radiance it showing a person covered in a black covert ops uniform and the blue light appeared to the shape of a blade on his right wrist. When the Sargent takes courage to speak to the intruder he disappeared before them and they all went into a panic "open fire!" the Sargent ordered then the squad starts shooting where the intruder was but with no avail for they see no blood or signs that they hit him and stopped shooting knowing that they are wasting ammo "okay everyone reloa-" the Sargent was cut when the intruder reappeared right in front of him using the blue blade cut to his throat in the blink of an eye the soldier next to him tried to fire on him but he was too fast and went under him cutting off his legs and falling on the floor the other two tried to fire their weapons but it was empty for they used up all their ammo shooting at the dark. The intruder now looking up at the remaining two and he pulls out two pistols with suppressor and shooting them on the forehead as their brains shot out along with the bullets. The man with his leg cut off crawled to the nearest weapon he can find but was stop when the intruder stab him in the back of his head.

"I am death" Spectre whispered to himself/herself with grin under his/her helmet then pulling his/her ripper out of the victim's head. The squad Spectre just faced was not worth the effort and made it even easier when they all stated to get scared when Spectre turn off the light by cutting a cable on the elevator and using his active camo to turn invisible giving him/her the opportunity to pass by them but they were going still problem. Even if Spectre didn't kill them they would come back from behind him/her causing him/her to fight on both sides so killing them was the only option and besides whats the fun in mercy? Spectre turns on his/her active camo and continued his/her way to generator. The moment Spectre got to the generator room he/she saw CDP soldiers aiming at the entrance where Spectre was but luckily he/she was invisible so they couldn't see where he/she was. 'idiots' Spectre thought to himself/herself as she walk by the fools still waiting for whatever took out the squad the officer sent to the elevator. When he/she past them he/she turned off his/her active camo making sure it doesn't over heat and saw the huge machine with a Waring sign that says 'cushion high voltage' "this must be it" he/she said to himself/herself taking out a EMP grenade. Turning it on he/she throws the EMP at the generator as Warning sigh starts to pop up on the computers connected to it as fire and smoke start to surround the machine "Warning generator levels are at critical all personnel must evacuate. This is not a drill" the computer's AI system said as the ground starts shaking.

"SHIT! dark bird this is Spectre come in!"

"this is dark bird we copy over"

"The main generator to the city has been neutralized and I request an imitate pick up on the roof top!"

"copy that we are on our way hold tight"

soon Spectre made a run for the door he/she just entered but was stop when two CDP soldiers bust in the room probably come in to see whats going on but before they could say anything Spectre threw two knifes at their throats as they both collapsed. Spectre ran pass by the two soldier not caring if they are still alive or not. After running towards the doors where he/she came in from seeing that the soldier aiming at the door are gone well all but one. looking at the dead body he had a CDP officer uniform and by the look of his head a piece of it was squished by concrete do to the building starting to collapse. Making his/her to the roof top Spectre was slowed down by other CDP soldiers still in the building but he/she managed to get by them and when I mean get by them I mean that he/she used his/her ripper to slice and dice his/her way out. Reaching the roof he/she looks around at he sky looking for the VTOL "dark bird where are you?!"

"hang on we are almost there"

"make fast the building is starting fall apart!" starting to panic Spectre starts going to higher ground "okay we see you coming down for pick up"

finally" Spectre said running towards the VTOL as it hovered at the edge of the building. With the all of Spectre's will power he/she jumped off the building and garbed on handle of the hatch of the VTOL and claiming inside laying down from exaltation. Looking at his/her side the building has fallen and the only thing left stand is dust and ash it caused. "Outrider this is Spectre... the power is down... tell them they can gain access to facility" he/she said tired after all he/she has been through

"Copy that Spectre i'll tell them" Outrider said also tired from fighting endless waves of robots the CDP has sent but they were no mach for her. Getting up from her seat she went over to where she left her communication device and putting back on her ear "Prophet this Outrider... Spectre has destroyed the power to the city now you may proceed as planned"

"copy we see the facility and moving in"

"ugh what taking them so long" Rainbow Dash said in absolute boredom "it has been three hours scene we arrived and I need to do something right now"

"weellllll we could tell jokes oh I got one" turning to the right out of nowhere Pinkie Pie was standing on stage with a microphone on her right hoof "okay who is the king of school supplies?" Pinkie ask Rainbow poking the microphone at her muzzle "I don't know the teacher I guess?" Rainbow said not giving any effort guess the answer "no silly its the RULER" there a silence for a complete five minuets "oh come on that took me three seconds to come with!"

"ugh sorry pinkie its just i'm so bored that I can't laugh at jokes right now"

"ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no wonder nopony laugh at that super duper funny joke. Oh I know maybe we should go in there and ask Twilight what she thinks of it" Pinkie suggest "sorry Pinkie but that's a no go on that. Twilight and the princess are having really important conversation in there and it wound be rude to barge in and ask what there thoughts are on you're joke" Applejack said leaning on seat looking at the roof "are you sure about that Applejack  what if they are really really really really reaaaalllly bored in there and in despaired need of fun?!"

"oh Pinkie Pie i'm sure they are but they need to focus on whats at hoof here planing ahead for future threats dose sound like a big responsibility for them to handle" Rarity pointed out "and besides I bet there finishing up all ready"

"I sure hope so because I need to fly and do something that doesn't have to do with sitting around all day" Rainbow Dash said

"and I need to feed Angle at seven and I hate just thinking about how that poor little bunny is starving" Fluttershy said laying down on the seat as if it was her couch back at her cottage

two minutes later

After what fleet like an eternity the doors finally open reviling three alicorn princess "finally what took you so long?" Rainbow Dash ask

"sorry Rainbow but planing dose take time and especially what we are planing involves protecting an entire nation" Twilight respond

"yes it dose but hopefully we wont need to put are plan into action since there has been no hostile activity in the last two month" Celestia added

"but eventual we would need to sister"

"I know Luna that's why I said hopefully and not 'we will never use it'" Celestia joked with her sister as Luna gives her a playful grin

"well look like you ponies must be on your way" Celestia addressed the six ponies that stands before her "yeah I look like we do doesn't it?" Twilight said smiling up at her mentor "well don't like us keep you go on i'll see you tomorrow Twilight"

"thank you princess i'll see you tomorrow"

with that said Celestia and Luna turned to their chambers and Twilight turned to her friends

"look girls thanks for coming along with me I really appreciate it even if you have to wait for a couple hours"

"well its the least we can do for you darling and besides you look really worried when you were called to meet Celestia and Luna"

"oh yeah that" Twilight said with a blush

"come on now we better get going before the train leave" Applejack said "your right I just hope Starlight is doing okay by herself"

Twilight said starting to get worried about Starlight "don't worry i'm sure Starlight will be fine" Rarity said trying to clam her down

"well if you say so" Twilight said as the group starts making their way out of the castle.
