Emily's Mind

EMILY'S MIND

EPISODE 8

Okay, I'm looking at this map, and I am totally confused. It showing me a giant red X in a room on the 2nd floor, but I'm not even sure if I'm even on the 2nd floor. It says here's there's a tower leading towards Nightmare Moon's old armor, but from the looks of the map I've gotta stay away from that area for now. Seriously though which fucking floor am I- ... I'm located on the 3rd floor and the stairs aren't that far away.... I really need to pay attention to maps more. Okay time to get moving

Later as I walked on I came to a door that looked to be blown off its hinges. Well, I don't need this anymore, better keep though just in case I get lost. After putting the map in my backpack I switched out the MP5 with the SPAS-12. My heart was pounding as I approached the room. But then I noticed a light peaking out of it. I looked closer, and it was a flashlight. YES! OH THANK FUCKING GOD! I went over to it and picked it up. I then realized it was a simple dash from the door to the flashlight. You know it looked like it was pointing towards the wall, wonder what- OH MY GOD! Written in blood was, "MANY HAVE COME, MANY HAVE DIED. I WILL LIVE ON FOREVER, AND NO ONE WILL STOP ME." Is this the clue Discord was talking about?

"Many have come, many have died. I will live on forever, and no one will stop me." I told myself, "What the fuck is that supposed to mean?!"

I'll have time to dwell on that later I need to think about some other things right now. Like why the hell did Spoiled adopt me? I know I gave her the all clear, but she said she just wanted to see if she could live up to my standards. Is there something bigger going on that I'm not aware of? I mean she even gave me a diamond tiara, and I know those things take forever to make, there's no way she had one prepared by tomorrow, unless- oh I get it now. She ALWAYS had the intention of adopting me! But for what reason though? There's bound to be an answer to everything. It's not like as if the story I'm currently trending has a planned sequel that'll just lead to a bullshit plot line never even talked about on my whole adventure up until that point right? Hell, I might even get a weapon foreshadowing said adventure later on too! Okay, I think everyone agrees in saying there's no way that's gonna happen. I mean that would just be plum out bullshit. I bet the ending of this little story of mine is gonna be me, after a final battle, meeting the creator of this little adventure and him or her explaining to me just why my adventure was made and just what the message/purpose of it was.

I then took the Tiara off and looked at it. Ya know I expected this to fall off and shatter a LONG time ago. How is it even still on my head- is that a button? I pressed it and it did nothing. Well, that was anti-climactic. I then placed it back on my- YE-OUCH! WATITITITYA! MOTHER FUCKER THAT ELECTRIFIED ME! ..... Am... am I going crazy? Is- is that a health counter as well as a suit power monitor in the lower corner of my glasses?! AND A MUNITION LEVEL MONITORING THING on the right?! Wait.... I touched the pipe wrench. ...... Oh, my god. That was the weapon selection sound from Half-Life. AND IS THAT A WEAPON SELECTION SYSTEM AT THE TOP OF MY GLASSES?! I think I'm about to faint. Okay, what weapons do I have? First off, though, seven weapon selection slots?! How the fuck does it even know if I'm gonna have seven?! That doesn't even make any sense! I mean if you're gonna go through the trouble of giving me a weapon selection system don't spoil how many damn weapons I'm gonna carry I wanna figure it out on my damn own!

How the fuck is this damn thing even working in the first place?! My glasses aren't modified, I'm not even wearing an H.E.V suit or Power Vest or Security Armor, so why the fuck is that shield there?! Can anything make sense in this damn world?! Does everyone see this when they put something on!? ALL I DID WAS JUST PRESS A BUTTON AND NOW SHIT'S GOTTEN ME CONFUSED! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Okay, calm down Emily, just calm the fuck down. You feel like you're having an aneurysm, but you're fine, your body's still the same, you've got all your parts, time to haul ass out of here. I left the room and- BANG!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAUGH! MOTHER FUCKER MY ARM!" I shouted as I hid behind cover and pulled out my MP5

FU-HU-UH-HUCK, MY DAMN ARM! NNNNRRRRG! Shit that hurt! Wait, my life counter was 100 earlier, and now it's eighty-eight?! All I did was just get shot in the arm! Fuck, now I'm practically twelve percent dead! Or eighty-eight percent alive depending on how you look at it- HAND GRENADE! RUNNING, RUNNING, RUNNING, RUNNING, RUNINNNNNG! Boom!

"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" I shouted as I hid behind cover again, "WHY DID YOU THINK THROWING A GRENADE INSIDE A BUILDING THAT'S ON THE BRINK OF COLLAPSE WAS A GOOD FUCKING IDEA?! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL EVERYONE IN THIS DAMN BUILDING!?!"

I looked over the rubble and- HOLY FUCK I DODGED A BULLET FOR REAL!

"STOP SHOOTING AT ME! I'M NOT THE ENEMY!" I shouted, "DO I LOOK LIKE SOMETHING FROM THIS DAMN FOREST?! I'M A HUMAN FOR FUCKS SAKE!"

The shooting stopped. Did it work?

"If you are a human tell us if this myth is true or not!" I heard a voice say

"What is it?!" I asked

"Did humans land on the moon!"

"Uh, DUH WE DID!" I stated moving out of the way of the rock and began moving towards the Celestial Guard, "We freaking landed on the moon, and sent a space probe all the way towards Mars! Hell, even all the other far away planets like Jupiter, Saturn-"

"Okay, you're human." He deadpanned

He freaking interrupted me! Bastard. I moved out of the rubble and holstered my MP5 looking very furious at the Celestial Guard. They noticed it in my eyes as well.

"Why the fuck did you attack me!" I shouted

"Our orders were to destroy what remained of Nightmare Moon and take out anyone and anything that stood in our way." The guard holding an M4A1 said

"We didn't exactly count on a human being here." The guard holding the Desert Eagle said

"Here, let me patch you up." The guard with a medic armband said as he went over to my wounded arm

"Thanks." I said as he tended to my wound

I looked at my now-healed wound. My health was back up to 100 and my arm was moving again.

"Yo, thanks." I said

"How did you even get here anyways?" The Medic asked

I opened my mouth to tell them, but then immediately closed it. Should I tell them? Will they arrest me if I do? Will they just kill me?.... That's a theory I don't wanna test. Better just play it safe and make up a story.

"Teleportation went wrong." I said

"Ah, that would explain it." The guard holding the M4A1 said, "You can never really tell when those damn spells will work."

Oookay then, time to leave. I the walked towards the stairs to leave-

"Hold it right there!"

UGH! Now, what?! I turned to the group.

"Where do you think you're going." The guard holding the M4A1 asked

"Back to Ponyville, where else?" I stated

"No way!" The guard holding the Desert Eagle shouted

"It's dangerous out in the Everfree Forest!" The medic stated

"Really? I've got a Pipe Wrench, Beretta M9, SPAS-12, and an MP5, I think I'll be okay." I said

"You're gonna need a lot more than just that if you plan on living longer than two seconds out there." The guard holding the M4A1 said

"Why?" I asked

"As far as we know, something bizarre has happened to the creatures of this forest." The guard holding the Desert Eagle answered

"How?"

"For one thing, they're more hostile than usual." The medic stated

"Not to mention there's some kind of one-eyed red creature wandering the forest as well." The guard holding the M4A1 said, "It already killed three of us before any of us even got to this forest. That damn red lightning coming out of its back caught us off guard."

Wait. Red, one-eyed, lightning coming out of its back- HOLY SHIT!

"THERE'S A FUCKING PANTHEREYE IN THAT FOREST!?" I shouted, "WHAT THE FUCK IS A CUT XEN CREATURE DOING OUT HERE?!"

"You know what that thing is?!" The guard holding the M4A1 shouted

"Hell yeah, I do!" I said, "It was a cut enemy from the video game Half-Life! What the fuck is it doing all the way over here?!"

"We don't know. Nopony has ever seen that creature before." The guard holding the Desert Eagle answered

"Please tell me you have better equipment so I can deal with that thing." I said

"We do down in the foyer. Follow us." The guard holding the M4A1 said

So to short it, we walked all the way down to the 1st-floor foyer where I saw a few other Celestial Guards. I checked all around the place to find some better equip-

"Ohh, fuck! That's a fucking rocket launcher!" I shouted looking at the RPG in question, "Why weren't you using this?! You're fighting a Panthereye, you should've used the damned thing! Sigh But the worst part is, I can't even carry it with all the limitations on my backpack's storage. God damn it. I really wanted a rocket launcher! Ah well, not like as if I'd have any use for it after killing the Panthereye. It would be a nice trophy, but what's the point of even having one if you're only gonna use it once. That's what bugged me about Half-Life Blue Shift. You get a rocket launcher but you only ever use it once in the whole damn game where it's actually useful! Time to find some other weapons then."

Oh hey, a weapons crate! I opened it up and looked through it. Hmm. Combat knife, that'll be useful for up close range attacks and vines. Oh fuck yeah, Desert Eagle with a laser sight! This'll come in handy! Sweet, M4A1! I definitely know I'll need this baby! Kick ass, hand grenades and satchel charges! Okay, that looks to be all the weaponry in this crate- . . . . is that? Oh, my god, it's an M40A1 Sniper Rifle. Weapon get sound The perfect gift for the girl who wants everything. Ohhh, you and I are gonna go places. My mind is spinning with new possibilities. You are some of the first good news I've had ever since I arrived here. Ammo get sounds Yes, I'll bring your friends.

Wait what was I doing again? I kind of lost my mind after seeing the weapon of my dreams. Oh yeah, weapons! I placed the M40A1 Sniper Rifle around my arm with its strap and looked through y backpack's inventory. Damn this thing's quite crowded, how the hell did Adrian ever carry all his stuff?! Or Freeman for that matter. Or Barney as well. Okay I shouldn't be questioning game logic it's gonna hurt my brain trying to figure out how it's possible for a scientist in a backpackless suit or a security guard with no backpack to be carrying a lot of weaponry on them.

Let's see if there's anything else around here, shall we?

Okay, there was nothing else that peaked my interest outside of more ammo for my Beretta M9, SPAS-12, MP5, Desert Eagle, and M4A1 so I'm just gonna report back to those soldier guys and get the hell out of here. I did so and they didn't exactly look impressed.

"Was that seriously all you could find?" The guard holding the M4A1 questioned

"All that peeked my interest." I answered, "There was a rocket launcher, but you can see that my backpack is nearly falling off due to all the shit I'm carrying."

"How are your arms not even falling off anyways?"  The guard holding the Desert Eagle asked

"Years of lifting heavy stuff." I said switching out my M40A1 Sniper Rifle for the SPAS-12, "Now lets move!"

We then exited the foyer to outside the castle where I saw a bridge covering a deep pit. Jeese, one wrong step and I can just kiss my life goodbye. I then looked to see if there was any other way to go around it, but no luck on that. Well, time to King Kong game this. I ran across the bridge without even looking where I was going. I then looked to see I was on the other side. Sweet! I made it across. Hey, are those guys even coming?

"Hey! Are you coming or what?!" I shouted at them

They then shrugged and made their way down the bridge towards me. Ummm, I didn't order any ominous music! Then I heard a rustle in the bushes.

"WHO'S THERE!" I shouted pointing the SPAS-12 at the bushes

Then there was a flapping sound. What the- is there a bird in there? Must be a pretty big one. Possibly a bald eagle or something like that. Does this place even have bald eagles? A question for later.

"Sir, I, Hear, something." The guard holding the Desert Eagle

"Well no duh!" I said, "There's a bald eagle in the forest!"

Then the rustling in the bush got louder and a chicken head popped up from it.

"Oh. It was only a chicken." I said, "Hey false alarm guys-"

"SQUAD, WE'VE, GOT, A, COCKATRICE!" The guard holding the M4A1 shouted

"A cockatrice? Seriously?" I questioned, "You guys have gotta be-"

It then began to fly, it's lower half looked like that of a dragon. It then opened its eyes and revealed them to be red. Okay, they weren't lying.

"Whoa, I guess-"

I turned around and they were stone. My face was one of complete shock. I then turned back around and-

"SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
