Emily's Mind

EMILY'S MIND

EPISODE 7

Oh god my head. Okay I think the pain's gone now. I got off of the floor and went to Discord.

"What is it you want now!" I asked

I heard the sound of a teleportation noise and now we- what the fuck?! Holy hell this is the place where Corporal Adrian Shephard was in stasis! I looked to my left to- OH MY GOD! AHHHHHHHH! IT'S ADRIAN SHEPHARD! I let out a loud fan girl scream which caused Adrian to look at me- HOLY FUCK HE'S LOOKING AT ME!

"What the? Um hi, I wasn't expecting company so don't mind the place being a little dirty." He said

EEEEEE! HE SOUNDS JUST LIKE SHEPHARD'S MIND SHEPHARD! EEEEEEEEEEEEE-

"Sorry for the rude interuption Corporal Shephard, but we needed the space." Discord said, "Just don't mind us."

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE- okay that's enough.

"Emily, we spent so much time talking last time we met, that I forgot to tell you something important." Discord said

"Lay it on me." I said

"You may have noticed a random OC Pony that sort of looked like you during your trip to school am I right?" Discord asked

"Yeah?" I asked in a puzzled voice

"Well Emily, that OC, was you." Discord said

"EXCUSE ME!?" I shouted

THAT RANDOM OC REALLY WAS ME?!

"WHAT?! HOW?! WHY?! I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!"

"All in due time Ms. Summers. All in due time. For the time me and Gman have agreed that for now, you'll need to figure this little puzzle on your own." Discord said

"B-b-b-but-"

"No need in arguing Ms. Summers. The decision has already been made." Discord said

"Umm, can I please be set free now?" Shephard asked, "And could I possibly have Sparky, Gill, and Barney back?"

"Your time will come Corporal, your time will come." Discord said, "Just be patient."

"I'm running out of patience, I'm hungry, thirsty, I just want to see some action." Shephard said

"Hmmmm." Discord moaned, "I might be able to work a little something with Gman and his employers to do something with you. But for now just stay patient."

Shephard just grumbled causing me to fan girl giggle.

"Soo. Where are ya dropping me off this time?" I asked

"Somewhere that'll give you a clue as to what exactly is going on." Discord said, "But be warned Emily Summers, you're about to enter a path others have taken, and said path is one many have not come back from, because you see Emily Summers for there are many trials ahead of you, and each trial is more treacherous than the last."

Yawn. All I heard was; you're going down a dangerous path, blah blah, you're going to go on an adventure weather you like it or not, blah blah,  Irony is a bitch, blah blah, there's gonna be trials a.k.a boss battles, blah blah, there may or may not be some bigger story behind this whole thing, blah blah, I may or may not find others like that random OC, blah blah, other cliche warning stuff, blah blah blah. I just wanna go home right now, forget about all this, and NOT be a hero. I heard a teleportation noise and- what the fuck? What is this some type of broken down castle? Jesus this place needs a Miley Cyrus wrecking ball bad. Okay equipment check. I shuffled around in my backpack and pulled out the Pipe Wrench. Okay I still have that. Okay place that in my pocket and.... got it! Eeyup, that's still a Beretta M9. And I've still yet to use my weapons. Where's something to shoot when you need it!?

Suddenly there was the cry/warning of a... poison.... headcrab..... zombie...... NO NO NO, NO NO NO NO NO NOOO, N-NO NO NO! WHY, WHY, WHY?! AM I IN HELL RIGHT NOW?! AM I SERIOUSLY IN HELL?! Okay Emily, calm down, calm down. Maybe it was just your imagination- HOLY HELL I'M GONNA DIE! Suddenly there was the sound of falling rubble. Oh god, oh god oh god! What do I do, what do I do!? I'M FREAKING OUT! ?! What the hell?! Is that the sound of a SPAS-12?!

"MOTHER FU- MEDIC!"

Nice try, I already made that Black Mesa ref- wait that was a different voice. Suddenly some of the ceiling caved in and a anthro stallion clad in some kind of gold armor fell back first and got speared through his stomach from a sharp piece of rubble killing him instantly.

"Okaayyyy, WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?! I MEAN, WHAT HAPPENED?! WHY DID THE CEILING PARTIALLY CAVE IN!? WHY WAS THERE SOMEONE EVEN ON THE CEILING?! HOW THE FUCK DID HE EVEN GET ON THE CEILING?! WHAT THE HELL WAS WITH THE DAMN POISON ZOMBIE NOISE?! AAAAAAAAAAAUGH!"

Heavy panting. Okay, okay, I think I'm okay now. Okay time to upgrade my arsenal. I went over to the SPAS-12 to get a better look at it. Okay lets see here. Hmmm, yeah this is a SPAS-12. Okay it's got its stock folded and butt hook removed, yeah I'm keeping this. And hey shotgun ammo! Okay let's see how much ammo was in here. Okay take out the shells- two? Two was all that was left in the thing? Damn he must've been shooting a something that needed all those bullets used. Okay reloading, reloading, reloading, aannnnd.... Click there we go. Eight bullets exactly in. And four bullets left over too. Alright time to see if anyone's man enough to challenge me. After going around the rubble I exited the room.

Hallways, hallways, hallways, hallways. That's all I've been seeing for the past while, nothing but hallways. There was the occasional door, but they were all locked. Why though? I mean this place is, from the look of things, abandoned, why lock everything? Is somebody else using this place? If they are, why is it in such disarray? You know, I guess Discord was kind of implying  that he would send me to a place that would explain some stuff, but right now I'm not seeing anything that's explaining everything. I've just got even more damn questions. Son of a bitch- HOLY CRAP AN OPEN DOOR, YES! I rushed towards it as fast as my legs would let me and opened it further to reveal, a dark ass room. Damn it where's a flashlight when you need it?!

"Squad, no sign, of life, over."

It was that moment I pissed myself. H.E.C.U MARINES NOW?! OH GOD I'M GONNA DIE! Footsteps?! FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK! I GOTTA HIDE! I quickly hid in the dark room looking through a crack I made in the door. The footsteps got louder and louder as did my heartbeats. Then I saw them. Three golden armor clad white furred stallions, one holding a M4A1, one holding a MP5, the other holding a- HOLY SHIT THAT'S A FUCKING M249 S.A.W!

"I killed twelve dumb ass Everfree Creatures and not one of them falled back. This sucks." The one holding the MP5 said

"Yeah but the thing is, who ordered this operation anyways?" The one holding the M4A1 asked

"We came here because we were ordered to hunt down the remnants of Nightmare Moon." The one holding the M249 said, "Colonel Sky High always wanted to make sure something was dead for good and now we're here to clean up a mess those former element bearers couldn't handle."

"Why don't we do that, AND kill them as well?" The one holding the M4A1 asked

"Because we could get executed for treason. I mean I want call those phonies out as much as you do, but I'm not going to go to that length to do it." The one holding the M249 said, "Besides this isn't a cover up. Government cover ups are not in our job descriptions. That goes to the Night Guard."

"Why do they always get the exciting jobs though? We're the Celestial Guard for fucks sake we should be doing the cover ups while the Night Guard finishes up everything!" The one holding the MP5 said

"Private, we are the Celestial Guard, yes, but we have a image in the mind of the public! If we go out into the unknown doing cover ups all the time ponies are gonna get fearful of us!" The one holding the M249 said, "And right now, that's the last thing Celestia needs to worry about! Do you understand me!?"

"Sir, yes sir!" The one holding the MP5 shouted

The three just walked away and after seeing them disappear I exited the room. Well I'm boned. Time to continue on my way.

I'm walking in hallways, so boarrd, I'm walking in hallways, fuck me, and don't it feel boooring. Jesus, how big is this place?! Well I might as well take this time to think. First off, why the hell was, essentially, Equestria's Army here? Those three were talking about wiping out the remnants of Nightmare Moon, but who the hell even is that? That freaking sounds like the name of some b list movie villain. Or hell even a c list comic book villain, actually that name wouldn't sound too out of place in a Spider-Man comic. But who even was she? Was she some sort of tyrant? Some kind of evil sorcerer? A misguided soul who fell down the dark path just because something she did was never appreciated by anyone other than herself, friends, and family? Nah that's too cliche-

"SQUAD! WE'VE, GOT, HOSTILES!"

I looked to see- OH SHIT! Quickly hiding behind a pile of rubble I managed to dodge the bullet barrage of a MP5. I think now I just realized something. I HAVE NO ARMOR! ONE HIT AND I'M A GOOD AS DEAD! Fuck they're coming this way! Say hello to my little SPAS-12 friend! Hey what's that clunking noise- GRENADE! Rolling out of the way I narrowly avoided the explosion, but damn did I still feel it. Fuck, I think I've got shrapnel in me now! OH FUCK THEY'RE FIRING! RUN FOREST, RUN FOREST, FOREST RUN, FOREST RUN! Okay back behind cover, great! Now what?!  Um, okay lay down suppression fire, lay down suppression fire. Ngh.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

I released everything blindly behind the corner screaming my head off until I heard the sound of three death noises. Then I realized I was out of ammo. There anymore? I loved over the rubble. No gunfire. Okay so far so good. Okay so I just killed some people, I don't know how to react. On one hand I could get in huge trouble for this. On the other hand I can say it was self defense and it can be justified. I mean it was only two people and they attacked first. Either way, MP5 TIME! Okay- aw gross, it's got blood on it. Okay lets see here. Huh, no M203 grenade launcher on it, thank you Half-Life Wiki, looks like I'll have to get a M4A1 to be throwing grenades everywhere. Oh good the other guys had ammo. Okay how much ammo we got in here. Hmm. 15, twenty, twenty-five ammo? Huh and this full clip is, twenty, twenty-five, thirty exactly. No fifty bullets for me then. Well for now at least. Okay reload and put the other mags in my backpack and done. Whoops. Forgot to set it to fully automatic. And now I'm done. Okay, now that I've killed some people now what do I do?
