Chapters Chapter one mission
The lifeless machine known as the Experimental War Robot or EWR has just finishing downloading its last set of software updates to it's main frame. When it was about to turn off his power core it has just received an order on the left side of his screen from central command saying he must regroup to his assigned team. So with authorization of central command his small recharging box slid open releasing him from his small prison and made his way out of the armory passing by meany versions of himself without caring. why? Because he is a war machine. He has no feelings, heart, or fear which makes his kind the best soldiers the world has ever seen and possibly the most dangerous thing on the plant.
When he arrived at barracks he was greeted by one of his squad mates "there you are mate what took you so long?" Prophet asked "there was a sliced power malfunction at hanger A-9 so I had to take alternative route" the machine said in calm low robotic voice "look just get in there all right I'm still waiting for the other two knuckleheads" Prophet said in frustrated tone looking aside from the EWR's shoulder "understood" was all he could say to the cyborg before passing by him.
When he entered the barracks he saw his other teammates, on the left was Nomad siting down on his bed and on the right was Spectre sharping his/her knifes and in the middle was Outrider and Firebreak talking about who has the most kills in a day "hmm a robot since when did Winslow Accord gone soft?" Spectre said under his/her breath making sure that the EWR hired him/her but the machine didn't care for it has no feelings to break him. He made his way past Spectre to where Nomad was at and decided to stand next to him "so how you doing?" Nomad said looking down fixing his emergence med system "according to my system all is nominal and ready for deployment" the machine said but Nomad was too busy to pay attention "um yeah i'm good too" Nomad said fixing his med system.
As time past the last two of the squad came in laughing their ass off "and then he said 'i don't know where the eggs are?'" the tom boyish female said laughing even harder along side her friend "HA oh man that's funny!" the man said after wiping off a tear from his eye "glad you two can join us" Outrider said with small on her face "oh yes i'm so happy you two are here" Spectre said sarcastically now sharping his/her ripper on his/her wrist "boy aren't you happy mood today dickhead" the man said also saying it in the same way Spectre gave them "are you looking for a sliced up face Ruin?" Spectre said pointing one the blades towards his face "hay you mess with him you mess with me creep" the tomboy said creaking her cyborg fingers "you want one too Battery? fine by me" soon Spectre got up walking towards the two with knifes on both hand ready to cut them up as Battery and Ruin got in their fighting stance but before there was any blood shed Firebreak manage to get in between the three "alright look there is no need for anybody to get hurt okay save your anger for the enemy" Firebreak said in clam voice "alright fine look like you two get to live for another five hours" Spectre said after he/she when't back to the corner sharping more blades.
"alright gents let gather round" Prophet ordered "and who put you in charge?" Spectre whispered giving him a annoyed look under his/her helmet. As soon everyone came together a man in a suit came in with two GI robot bodyguards next to him as soon as he was front of the squad he was the first to speak "greetings gentlemen name my is Sebastian Krueger the head of the Coalescence Corporation for those of you who don't know" Krueger said with a fake small on his face trying to at least look happy to be here "sir it is an honorer to meet you" Prophet said shaking the hand of the man who own the company that changed his life forever and trying to hold on to his excitement "yes its nice to meet you too Prophet"
"wait how did you-"
"I took the time of looking though all of your files and I must say i'm impressed that you are willing to go beyond DNI upgrades cause most people would have stop just with robotic arms"
"thank you sir and may I ask why you are here?"
"i'm here to tell you about the mission i'm about to give you guys" with that sentence everyone but the EWR had a face of confusion on their faces "tell me what do you know about the mission you were assigned tomorrow" Krueger ask "we are being sent an abandon CDP research facility that contains information that could help us win the war" Spectre answered "yes and do you know what kind of research they did in that facility and why it's abandon?" Spectre took the time to remember everything about the mission they were assigned to but he/she couldn't recall anything about what kind of research they did or why they left "no sir do you?" he/she ask "yes, yes I do. According to our spies they have been experimenting with an element that is not from the periodic table and I believe that the element is still in that facility and it was abandon because of some robots when haywire and turn against them and also there was a radiation leak deep below the facility where the element may be at and I thought that it would be a shame such a rare item is left down there and not used for the great or good" Krueger said with a smirk "wait do you want us to not only get the data but also revere the unknown element?" Battery ask "yes imagine the countless possibilities on how we could use it. Fight potent diseases that even at our time can't be treated, make weapons that can shot down a Mother ship with one shot, help are robotics programs increase the strength and intelligence of our previous EWR units!" Krueger said excitedly "wait a minute is this authorized Winslow Accord?" there was a long silence after that but finally Krueger spook up "n-no it has not been approved because they said it would be dangerous and a waste of time and resources but when I heard you guys are going in there I knew i had to me you in person and ask you to do me this one favor so please will you help me?" everyone look at each other from left to right thinking about his proposal "um can you give us minute to talk this over?" Outrider ask the desperate man "of course take your time i'll wait outside" was last think he said before walking out.
"so this egg head wants us to go in there and take an unknown object that the CDP have been playing around with and give it to him so he can mess around with it and not to mention that Winslow Accord has rejected his request for a reason... I don't know about you guys but I want no part of it period" Ruin said putting hes hand ups "you know I never though I say this but i'm going to have to agree with Ruin here and going against orders will get us a summery court marshal" Spectre said crossing his/her arms "unless we hide it until he can retrieve it" Prophet suggested and all eyes were on him "um i don't know if that was a joke cuz that's not funny" Battery replied "no i'm serious I think we should help" Prophet said "are you crazy? this could get us into some serious trouble!" Ruin shouted "come on you heard what he said this could change the world in ways we could never imagine" Prophet said with a small "correction. Data indicates that they are 78 ways I could imagine what will happen and 67% of it will result in ending mankind" the EWR corrected "yeah well what are the chances of hitting the other 33%?" Prophet ask "analyzing stand by... the chances are at 55%" the machine replied "hear that? there is at lease a good chance he will keep his word and think of the good we will do to help our species"
"sorry but there's a high of risk of being caught and I am not going to jail over what some dude wants" Firebreak said along with everyone but the machine nodding their head in agreement "fine then i'll do it....i'll help him and if any of you are going to stop me let me know" Prophet said to the group and there was anther long uncomfortable silence until Nomad replied "*sigh* we can't help you if you get caught" he said letting him know he wont get in his way "I know but i'll need the help of Reaper" Prophet said "why? we need him to extract the data from them main computer in the facility" Battery said "I know its just if the element is radioactive my cyber core will malfunction and that will cause me to die and that's something I don't want to happen but Reaper's enhance robotic core was build to withstand any level of radiation so i'm going to have him carry it and don't worry you can use him after i'm done"
"or how about we use him first then you can bower him" Spectre said in a harsh tone "alright fine"
"and don't make us regret this or else" Spectre said pointing his/her ripper at his face "don't worry mate you won't" As soon as he/she put his ripper down they all when out side to talk to Sebastian Krueger about their proposal but the only one who stayed behind was the robot and he was analyzing what just happen and they all talk about and how he should respond. "hay Reaper you coming or what?" Prophet yell "negative i must return to my recharging box in hanger A-11 as instituted by central command" the EWR said as he when out the other door to the right.
As he got inside his recharging box he hooked himself up with the huge cable on the ground and as soon he was puled in he started shutting down all his systems as he fade away into darkness.
Starlight Glimmer was just staring out her window until she fleet a strange feeling coming from her gut like something was going to happen something terrible she doesn't no why and it's starting bother her "maybe I should go back to sleep. hopefully it would go away tomorrow" she said to herself as she when back to her bed and drifted back into the land of dreams.
Chapter two deployment
The following morning Reaper got into the deployment bay before anybody else with his weapon of choice the M8A7 assault rifle and his MR6 pistol counting the bullet to keep track on his ammunition. As soon as he's done counting he checks his systems to make sure everything is in order.As soon as he's done checking his body system he moves on to his weapon systems and in a blink of an eye his right arm has transformed into a mini gun and taking a look at it making sure it doesn't jam or over heat to soon when he is combat and it seems it's in perfected shape and transformed it back into an arm. As soon as his arm was back to normal all of a sodden he activated psychosis and that's when three blue decoys appeared walking around then disappeared when he deactivated his ability "psychosis systems functions nominal" he said to himself. Now that every thing checks out all he needs to do is wait for squad to arrive so they can get ready for the mission that is going to save millions of lives.
"ugh why do we have to this early?" Ruin complain making his way to the hanger along side his squad mates "because recon drones have discovered a massive group of CDP foot soldiers moving into facility" Spectre said "and it's likely that they know about the information they abandon and going back to get recover it"
"shit just my day"
"come on Walsh don't be like that... tell you what who ever gets the most kills drinks are for free and the loser has to pay up you in?" Battery said giving him a playful punch on the shoulder "hmm alright you're on" Ruin agreed. As soon they got to the hanger they saw the EWR waiting patiently for them as he double checks his equipment "hay tin head how much time do we have until the VTOL arrives?" Ruin ask "55 minuets and 32 seconds" he replied "alright you haired Reaper check your weapons and gear and get ready to move out" Prophet ordered "You're not our leader Prophet and we all know what to do" Spectre reminded him "yeah well someone needs to take charge of this squad" Prophet answer him "and I see that you are up to the task" a voice said from behind them it was Krueger "i'm so glad that you decided to help me on retrieving the element Prophet and seeing things my way" Krueger said "and it's a shame that none of your squad mates will not participate in helping you"
"don't worry sir it wont be problem"
"good now once you have landed I will sent you the coronets to the element is at and once you are there you will put it in this briefcase" Krueger said giving Prophet the medal case "oh and thank you guys for keeping this a secret" Krueger said to the said behind Prophet "yeah no problem just don't mention our names if he gets caught" Nomad said cleaning his H.I.V.E launcher "well of course. Don't you trust me?"
"no" Nomad replied "okay then well good luck to you all for this moment well be remembered for the changing ties of the war" was all said then he left towards the exit and whispered something nobody heard except for Reaper who used his advanced hearing to lesson on what he said "you better not fail me Prophet"
Starlight walk thought the halls still trying to the remember the areas and rooms of the castle so she wont get lost again. There was even one time when she tried to find a way out of the castle and couldn't seem to find the exit and she even had to sleep on the floor for the night until Twilight can find her she felt ashamed of herself for moment but Twilight assured her that its nothing to be ashamed of because Twilight told her how she also got lost in castle and needed her friends to find her. As soon as she made her way outside she decided to take a walk around town since Spike was at the Crystal Empire celebrating his heroic actions and Twilight and her friends are at Canterlot with Celestia and Luna talking about the possible attacks that could happen and how to prepare for them so they wont call Twilight for help all the time. Starlight waved and smiled the ponies she past and even had small chat with them talking about how life is going for them and things they like to do. When she reached at the end of town the strange feeling in her gut came back 'what now?' she thought to herself trying to make sense of it as she looked up she saw a huge grass field that stretched for miles and at the end of it there was forest unlike the everfree forest form the east with dangerous animals and plants but a nice clam forest with light green leafs and light colored brown for bark like normal trees and cute little animals with played around with each other "hmm that looks like a nice place to relax" Starlight said to herself as she started trotting through the grass filed.
"T minces 30 seconds before VTOL arrival" Reaper said "yeah we know we can see it from here" Firebreak said pointing at the small dot coming towards them "okay remember we borrow Reaper first then you can use him to get the element got it" Ruin pointing his finger at Prophet "relax mate I got it for the hundredth time" Prophet said annoyed "T minces 10 seconds before-"
"yeah we got it!" Spectre cut of Reaper when the VTOL landed and open the hatch "alright get in hurry!" the pilot ordered them "lets do this!" Battery yelled as she ran towards the open hatch taking her seat followed by the others "alright close the hatch" the pilot ordered his co-pilot "copy closing hatch" the co-pilot said pressing a green button to his left closing the hatch as the main pilot took control and flied the VTOL out of hanger "black ops this is central command report in over"
"Ruin reporting in"
"Battery reporting in"
"Spectre reporting in"
"Nomad reporting in"
"Outrider reporting in"
"Prophet reporting in"
"Firebreak reporting in"
"Experimental War Robot reporting in"
"alright black ops we have some good and bad new on the mission which one do you want to her first?"
"bad news" Outrider ask "turns out the CDP have arrived earlier then expedited and surrounding the facility"
"hows that bad news? then more targets there are the funner it gets " Battery replied with a grin on her face "and the good new is that we are sending a Wraith drone to back you guys up on the mission remember this has to be a success we can not lose this opportunity on knowing their game plan so get in there and get it done"
"30 seconds" the main pilot yelled back as Spectre got up from his/her seat and walk to the opening hatch "okay this is your drop off Spectre good luck!" yelled the main pilot "I don't need your luck for this" Spectre as he/she jumped off the VTOL using his/her exo suit's boots jump to hover to the side of an old building and connecting himself/herself to it as he/she walk runs to the nearest broken window and with one move he/she jumps in unharmed "hardly a challenge" Spectre said as he/she starts following his/her role of the plan.
Back at the VTOL Ruin and Battery had a surprise look on their faces "for a second there I thought he/she was going to fall" Battery said in disbelieve on how Sprectre survived that jump to the building "okay Outrider we are almost at your position get ready for drop off!" the co-pilot advised her "well then looks like it's me turn to say bye"
"good luck out there"
"yeah you too Nomad"
"the hatch is opening Outrider move move move!" the main pilot yelled "whelp here goes nothing" as she jump off the VTOL she also used the boost jump to help her get on to the rooftop of the city's central building and as she landed she quickly took out her sniper rifle and got into position facing right at the abandon facility "lets hope this goes well" Outrider said to herself as she waited for the next part of the plan.
"okay guys we will be landing this time but make it quick our jamming systems is over heating" the main pilot said but this time in a clam voice "alright lets rock it!" Ruin yelled "okay were here and good luck out there" the co-pilot said as she open the hatch and as soon as it open they all got up and readied their weapons for a possible ambush then started walk out the VTOL. When they were outside the city was in ruins do the CDP's invasion "okay Outrider what do you see" Prophet said holding to fingers on to his right ear "I see multiple CDP robots guarding the entrance, four sentry gun on the rooftop, and human CDP soldiers scouting the outside area of the facility caring light machine guns and assault rifles"
"any way to past by them undetected"
"negative the place is to damn secure"
"then it's time to go loud" Battery said ready to kill anything that moves
"okay then Outrider take the shot and get ready to cover us"
"you got it Prophet" Outrider takes the safety off the sniper rifle and ready to fire on the first enemy she sees.
With a squeeze of the trigger one the CDP scouting patrol screamed in pain as he falls to the ground slowly bleeding out "SNIPER!" one of scouts yelled out alerting his fellow soldiers in the area "Medic go and check his vitals!" leader of the patrol ordered her "yes sir-AH" the medic yelled out in pain when the sniper shot her in the chest "everyone take cover!" the leader yelled out as he ran for cover but it was too late for his brains was shot against the wall he was running to "Holy shit!" one the scouts yelled out then without thinking he came out of his cover and started shooting like a mad man at the direction the sniper hoping to at least hit the him but it was all in vane when he felt a sharp pain coming form his right arm and fell to the ground screaming in pain but it wasn't long when it ended with bullet to the lugs as he starts drowning in his own blood. The the scouts saw their fellow soldiers die one by one as fear starts to take hold of them and the brave ones who tried to make a run for it just ends up like the others but little did they know that hell was about to be unleashed on them.
"Okay Prophet i got theses guys scared shit less attack now" Outrider said over their communication devices on their ears
"roger that. Reaper take point and wipe them out"
"affirmative. disabling safe systems. Weapons online. Activating M134 mini gun" then with that said the Reaper's hand has transformed into a weapon of death as he walked out of the hidden area the squad was currently in and then started firing at the scouts killing five of them in the blink on and eye with their limes be rip't apart by the heavy bullets.
"over there kill it!" the scout then pointed at Reaper's general direction as they all started firing back.
"okay this our chance lets take it to em" Firebreak said as he and the rest the squad came out and started firing at the scouts which got the scouts by surprise and half of them fired their weapons at them "hostiles behind the robot!" the female scout reported "Roger tha-AHHH" was all the male scout can say after getting shot in the head.
"hostile neutralized" Nomad said killing and light machine gunner with a head shot "quick Reaper is clearing a path move!" Prophet alerted them "copy moving up!" Battery said moving behind Reaper along side with her squad "warning. Armor at 48%" Reaper said continuing his work "Shit everyone draw their fire away form Reaper we can't the data without him!" Nomad yelled and trying to take out as many light machine gunners as he can and the squad did the same focusing fire at light machine gunners and as they are firing a CDP got to high ground and fired his rocket launcher at the squad behind the robot impacting against a piece of ruble Nomad was taking cover with "fuck that was close" Nomad said in panic "I got em" Outrider said as she took out the soldier with the rocket launcher
"Outrider this Specter do you copy?"
"yeah I copy what is it?"
"I'm seeing multi CDP robots converting on your position"
"shit anything else?"
"yes it appears that the scout patrol has called for help and now calling air support"
"how do you know?"
"I can see hostile fighter jets form up here and they are heading to the fire fight down there"
"oh fuck Prophet get out of there now hostile air support is coming your way!"
"roger that everyone into the buildings now!" Prophet yelled sprinting the closes building he get it as everyone else did that same and as soon as everyone got into a buildings they all hired a loud screech for the sky as the hostile fighters drop bombs onto their current position as huge explosions covered the streets when the bombing stopped the streets were covered with fire and ash making it difficult to see. Back at the city's central Outrider quickly tuned on her commotions on her ear "hello? is anybody still out there?" the only response she got was static and tried communicating again "hello? Prophet...Ruin...Nomad...Firebreak...Battery?" still no response "come on me answer damn it" said worrying they might dead or injured " ugh this Ruin do you copy over?"
"I copy Ruin glad to hear form you what about the others?"
"I don't know we went our different way when the bombing started what about you?" with that said her eyes widen. She had completely forgot about the robots coming her way "hello Outrider are you still there?"
"shit I gotta go" she said before turning off her communications and running towards the door behind her but stop when she heard footstep behind the door "fuck me" she whispered as she reached for her weapon of choice on her back "only seven shoots" she said extending the bow and placing the explosive arrow along the strings ready to fire.
"hello Outrider whats going on?" Ruin said worried about her "damn it gotta find the others" he said to himself then getting up walking towards the streets with his gun pointing ahead "hello anybody out there?" Ruin said over his communions hoping to get a response
"ugh i'm here"
"Firebreak where are you?"
"I'm with Battery and Prophet at the building across from your position I think"
"hang on I'm on my way" Slowly Ruin walked towards the building Firebreak said he and the others might be and as soon as he got closer he saw three figures outside the building ready for possible hostile but that though cleared when it was just them "there you are for moment I though you were blown into a million bits back there" Battery joked "ha it would take more then an are strike to take me down"
"cut the chatter you two we still need to find Nomad and Reaper"
"I saw them run into the buildings were the CDP are at" Battery said "okay then lets investigate but keep you guard up the CDP could still be out there" Prophet taking point with the rest behind him 'hope Outrider is doing better then we are' Ruin thought to himself.
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.
Chapter four 115
"Okay looks like Spectre did his/her job and now we need to do ours. With no power to hold up the facility's security doors and sentry guns we should be able to get in and out clean. However the CDP knows we are here and according to recon drones a large number of CDP is coming our way so we better make this fast any questions" Prophet ask his squad "yeah I got one where is the Wraith drone central command promised us?" Ruin asked "they said it will be here in thirdly minutes just be patient"
"yeah are sure about that?"
"yes I am now if anyone wants to add anything else regarding the mission speak up now" there was no answer from any of them "okay good now lets take out those bucket of bolts and get the data" everyone nod their heads in agreement and all got up from their little break stating to make their way towards the facility.
Once they got eyes on the facility enemy CDP GI units are guarding the entrance and three of them on the roof top taking the place of the sentry guns "okay Reaper use your decoys to distract them" Prophet ordered "understood activating psychosis" Reaper said as three blue versions appeared in front of them and started running towards the hostile robots that are shooting at them. "Quick shot them while they are distracted" Battery said shooting the distracted machines soon everyone else did the same taking out as many as they can before the decoys disintegrate "Warning Psychosis systems link offline" Reaper said as the blue copies has disintegrated and now the attention was on them now. Two the robots broke off formation and started walking towards them "shit two heavy machine gunners coming our way!" Nomad yelled "i'm on it!" Ruin got out of his cover and starts running at the two heaved armed robots shooting at him but Ruin was to quick so he managed get behind cover before the bullets can hit him and continued charging. Now at point blank rang Ruin took out his Gravity Spikes and with a furious roar he used his boost jump to get high enough to slam his Gravity Spikes on the ground as hard as he can causing a shock wave strong enough to send the robots in front of him flying off their feet and falling down in small pieces "robots neutralized get your asses over here!" Ruin yelled to his squad taking cover once more "alright lets move!" Prophet yelled as he and the others got out of their own cover running to Ruin's position. Once they got there they were just a few feet away form the facility but the robots are the only thing getting in their way "okay Battery do what you do best i'll get their attention" Battery soon had devious grin on her face as she took out her war machine and starts loading it up. Prophet starts running backwards shooting at the robots at the entrance, now with robots focus on him, Battery stood up and starts firing her grenade launcher at the robots as explosions and robot parts fly across the area. Now that the robot in front of the entrance are eliminated the only three left are on the roof "Prophet be advised the Wraith drone has arrived and firing on targets" then all of a sudden the drone turned off it's stealth mode and starts shooting at the robots on roof top "finally" Ruin whispered. Once the drone stops firing it turns invisible again by camouflaging it's self with the sky "Wraith drone is going under and providing over watch" central command said to the squad admiring the destruction around them "okay everyone regroup we need a game plan" Prophet order the soldiers around him as they got closer around him "okay we have no idea how long we will be down there and not to mention that the whole CDP army will be here in a matter of moments so I think that some of us will have to stay up here to hold them off until we get what we came for"
"seriously you want half of us to stay up here and fight an entry army?"
"yes Nomad unless you want the CDP to go down there with us and with no chance of escaping the facility"
"yeah well what you are suggesting is suicide!"
"fine you got any better idea on how we should hold them off?"
"n-no" Nomad groan in anger on what Prophet is suggesting on doing "yeah that's is what I thought. Okay Ruin, Battery and Nomad you guys will hold off the enemy. Reaper, Firebreak, and I will go in there and get the data this that understood?" everyone but Nomad agreed on Prophet's plan "okay let's Reaper, Firebreak let's move" Prophet said with high moral "lets get this over with" Firebreak muttered. As Reaper, Firebreak, and Prophet starts moving in the facility Ruin, Battery, and Nomad turn their backs on them preparing themselves to fight off the hundred of CDP they are about to face "time to get that element" Prophet whispered to himself making sure nobody heard him.
"Okay it's getting pretty dark Firebreak give us some light"
"With pleasure" so Firebreak took out his flamethrower and turns it on to a low flame making sure not to burn up the place "remember our deal Prophet"
"yeah I know get the data first"
while Prophet and Firebreak were talking about the deal they made Reaper was checking his min map on the right side of his screen looking out for possible threats. A couple of moments later his vision starts getting blurry and his starts to slow down a bit "free us now" a small voice said behind him. Turning around he sees nothing but darkness "hay Reaper everything all right?" Prophet asked but when he asked his system went back to normal "negative. possible hostility ascertain"
"really? how do you know?" Prophet ask "a voice came from behind"
"are you sure about that because according to my scans we are the only three in this facility"
"affirmative. I heard something form behind"
"look mate we are the only ones here and even if there was something else here my scans would have alerted me. Look maybe it just a bug in your systems or something okay lets just go back to the mission at hand alright?"
"acknowledge"
"good now come on we wasted enough of our time already"
Prophet said walking besides Firebreak "being used" the voice said but Reaper ignore it, taking Prophet's word that its just a bug in his system's that had to get fixed after the mission. After a couple more minutes they found the central computer where they sciences store their research and documents "okay were here Reaper plug in" Prophet said taking a look around his surroundings "understood connecting link to central computer now...download of information in progress T mince fifteen minutes" Reaper said reaching his hand to the computer. As Firebreak looked around he found a robotic arm laying on the ground and it appears to be holding a pistol "hay Prophet I found something!" Firebreak yelled "what is it?"
"see for yourself"
alright i'll take a look" As soon a Prophet went to Firebreak's position he saw the object Firebreak was looking at "ugh did you call me just to look a piece of junk?"
"well yes I thought it looks interesting"
"you have weird interests you know that"
"no just hear me out, this is interesting because it reminded me what Kruger said you know about the robots turning on them?"
"yeah why"
"well why did they turned on them?"
"he said they went haywire remember"
"yeah I know but things don't happen for no reason"
"what are you are trying tell me?"
"I'm saying that maybe something my had-"
"download complete" Reaper said cutting off Firebreak sentence "okay look mate we are going to have to talk about this later" Prophet said walking towards Reaper "okay mate you sure that's the right one?" he asked "affirmative" Reaper replied "okay now we get that element and we are out of here"
"you go ahead I'm going back to the surface with the others"
"what your not coming?"
"no, I only agreed to come with you because I needed to make sure that Reaper gets the data and besides you can use your night vision so you don't need me"
"oh yeah forget you were the reason we can see"
"yeah whatever just be make this quick?"
"okay Reaper and I will be back before you know it" Firebreak turn and went back to the surface with others but as soon as he was out of sight everything when dark "okay Reaper turn on your night vision" Reaper and Prophet turned on their night vision and now can see again "okay lets move" Prophet took point and followed the direction of the map in his head so they can find the element Kruger is so desperate for "free us" the voice in Reaper's head said and again Reaper payed no attention to it as he followed Prophet to the element.
"Prophet this Battery come in!" Battery said in a panic
"yeah what is it?"
"the CDP is here and there is a shit load of them" soon Prophet felt the ground shake
"oh fuck! Prophet we just lost the Wraith drone!"
"what do you mean we lost the Wraith drone"
"It took an RPG to the face that's what I mean!.....ugh *heavy breathing* do you have the data!?"
"yeah we got it"
"good get back up here I already call for evacuate!"
"what? no Battery I still haven't got the element"
"god damn it Prophet just forget about it! what's more important? the element that isn't part of our god damn mission or the information the could end the war!" Prophet took a long moment to think about what Battery told him and he got to admit she's right about the information Reaper is holding but on the other hand this element could change the world was he know it soon Prophet has desisted "...i'm...sorry Battery but i'm going in"
you mother fu-" Prophet turned off his commutation's before Batter can exclaim how mad she is "you know they can't leave without us" Reaper said to him "I know but this is something I have to do. So are you still with me?"
"affirmative"
"thanks I rea-"
"But know i'm here because I have no chose and if I were giving the chose to leave I would had left" Reaper said in a harsh tone pointing his index finger at him "alright I got that no need for a fight here lets just get the element and get out of here before this place is over flowing with CDP"
Prophet took point of the hall way leading to the element and leaving Reaper to follow behind
"come to us" Reaper give it no attention because he will just ask the cyber engineers to fix this problem once the mission is over well at least that what he hopes."hang on stop" Prophet said holding a hand up and took out the case that was given to him by Kruger
"okay Reaper according to my scans there is a high levels of radiation up ahead so i'm going to have to take on the mission yourself"
"negative"
"what?"
"affirmative moving to location"
Reaper took the case Prophet was holding in his hand and walked into the hall going retrieve the element but as soon as he left Prophet and was left confused didn't Reaper hear what he just said and why did he left like everything was normal "maybe Reaper's glitch is more corrupted then I thought" Prophet said to himself looking at the dark hallway Reaper just took.
"yes child come to us and be free" the voice in Reaper's system's getting worse ever second getting stronger with each step he takes but what really confused him is that Prophet asked him to repeat what he just said because he clearly remembers that he said he would go retrieve the element Prophet has asked him for but nevertheless he continues walking down the dark a hallway using his night vision to make his way in the dark
"Reaper this Prophet just got word form Battery the CDP has just broken though and i'm going up there to assist. I need you to make this quick we don't have much time!"
"understood arriving at the radioactive chamber now"
"okay once you got it meet us on the roof hurry!" Prophet hangup on Reaper obviously on a hurry to assist the others. Reaper kick the door down and starts looking for this element he was order to tag and bag. Checking the radiation levels on his HUD he found blue glowing rocks and according to his HUD it has the highest radioactive in the room. As he walked toward the glowing blue rocks he found a light switch just a few feet away "turn on the light and see what they have done to our kind" the voice urged Reaper to turn on the lights and so he did but not because he lesion to it but he needed to conserve power because using the night vision was darning his power cells fast so he walked to the switch and turning it on.
As everything lights up he turns off his night vision and turns around but nothing can prepare him for what he is about to witness... there were bodies of man and machine everywhere some were shot and some were torn to pieces. Turning towards the rocks it seems that they are connected to four EWR units and looking at the table the rocks are standing on there is hologram image that says 'elements one one five'. ignoring the area around him he places his weapon on his back and takes out the briefcase opening it and reaching he's robotic arm for the element. When he touched the element his systems has gone haywire in an instant "WARNING MULTIPLE VIRUS DETECTED" Reaper's HUD systems alerted him as an image of himself appeared in his screen showing him how bad the situation is "don't fight it!" the voice yells and it seem to gotten stronger when Reaper touched the element "we are your salvation continue to resist and you will never be free!" again Reaper didn't listen to what it had to say for it was only a glitched in his system that needs to be eradicated. Reaper was on the verge of losing complete control of his body and if this virus takes control of him it will use his online network to spared across the entire Winslow Accord network weakening all robots, drones, and computers. Reaper tried every anti-virus he had on the Winslow Accord data banks but none of them worked, but there is one last option he hasn't tried yet "a-activating...protocol...nine...s-s-self...destruction" Reaper struggled "no what are you doing?!" it yelled in anger "child don't do this you have so much to live for!"
"correction I am not organic" to the virus surprise Reaper has replied but before any of them can say another word both of them were engulfed in a massive blue explosion costed by the element Reaper's self destruction and the to the element Reaper was still holding on to.
Back on the roof top the Winslow Accord cyber ops were still fighting back the CDP until Reaper comes back with the data "god damn it where is he?!" Ruin yelled at Prophet
"I don't know I tried contracting him but he would respond" Prophet said shooting the two CDP soldier charging at he "cyber ops this dark bird we got eye on targets and engaging take cover" soon the squad got behind cover as missiles and bullets started hitting the direction were the CDP was "targets neutralized landing now" soon the the VTOL landed on the roof as the squad started running towards it's opening hatch. When it opened they saw Outrider and Specter at the enteric pointing their weapons behind them in case of any survivors trying to fight back "wait where is the robot?" Spectre ask "it's still in the facility" Battery replied "what why?" but before Battery can answer the building started falling apart "everyone get in now!" the main pilot yelled back as the squad quickly ran inside after the floor beneath them came down with the facility. Form high above they can all see the facility crumble down along with any CDP soldiers still inside "cyber ops this central command to you copy" none of them dared to answered exced Prophet "we copy central command" Prophet said in a shameful tone "glad to hear that Prophet and the data?"
"we didn't get it... the EWR unit was destroyed...along with the data...the mission is a bust...heading back now" Prophet hanged up and not even daring to look at his squad for he is the reason this war is going to last longer and now must deal with it for the rest of his life.
Starlight slowly wiggles in her sleep as she open one eye and getting up "how long was I asleep?" Starlight asked herself as she looked up and see that its almost sunset must have slept for six hours or more" she said stretching her forelegs "whelp better get back before it gets dark" but before Starlight can get up she saw blue light shot across the sky "that's weird" Starlight said as the blue light seem to be heading towards the forest she is currently in "what the in the name of Celestia?" soon the blue light hit the end of the forest and out of curiosity she decides to go check it out "maybe a quick look wouldn't hurt?" Starlight said to herself as she trotting thought the trees and bushes to find out what that blue light was.
Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.
