Underground

     I sat on my bedroll, staring at the roof of my tent. I am 6 foot tall with brown, shaggy hair and purple eyes. I looked to the left and saw my fiance Veronica. She was polishing her mini-gun, sitting on an ammo box next to her M-03 power armor.

     "Hey Vee, what is with Adam because I heard he was making dirty jokes about you again. Is it true?"

     "Yeah, so who is the target? I heard he's a big shot trying to impress some high school kids."

I looked at her as she polished the motet on the gun. She was skinny and short, perfect for power armor. She has short brown hair and she wears a black military cap backwards and tilted slightly.

     "His name is Arthur David's, an anti-underground commander but he says he is a talking about the FBI's job getting Homer drug free. Load of shit if you ask me." I said as I picked up my silenced .308 sniper rifle. It is black with purple lines running up the sides. It has a silencer and a custom variable zoom scope.

     "Okay, if Intel is correct he should be entering the building now, get your stuff together." with that she stands up and clasps her combat vest on. I do the same but also put on my special phantom mask. It is a white mask with night vision goggles built in and a black spec ops helmet.

     I overlooked the school from the balcony. My school. I go here every day, five days a week. I looked down into the commons then grabbed my radio.

     "This is phantom, are cameras down?"

     "Affirmative, target is entering the building"

     I opened the case at my feet and drew my rifle. I later down so the barrel stuck out from under the welcome banner hung on the railing.

     I saw him, standing on the stage in front of a podium, a huge crowd in front of him. It had to be brutal, he had to be punished.

     POP! POP! POP!

     The first two shots hit him in the testes and the last entered his throat.

The crowd immediately turned to look at me and I jumped down to greet them. I activated the jump pack on my back to soften the landing. I then shot both bodyguards with my silenced SMG. I landed with a thump on the stage and turned around to face the crowd.

     "Relax people I am not gonna bite." I said into the microphone. I then grabbed my radio and said "heavy you clear to enter, over."

     "Affirmative, I've got tangos coming up the stairs to enter the building."

Then Veronica jumped down and landed behind me in her power armor and the crowd started to try to flee at the sight of the metal behemoth with the minigun.

     POP! POP! POP! I fired my pistol into the air halting the crowd.

    "Stay down unless you want to be in the crossfire." I yelled as the front doors blew open creating a kill- box that Veronica quickly exploited.

     "Hey Vee, I'm gonna test this portal device" I shouted to her as she shot the last soldier into tiny bits.

     "Clear, hey Damien watch o-!" Veronica said as an enemy jumped out and grabbed my fave and ripped my mask off exposing me to the entire school, the kid who never did anything on time and wouldn't even hurt a fly.

     I grabbed the man and lifted him by his neck into the air.

     "Every camera in the building caught you bitch, it's over and some rookie is gonna get that bounty motherfuc-'CRACK'!" the loud snap came as I effortlessly shaped his neck.

     "Damien, thank god!" projected Veronica as she ran up and hugged me. "Hit the portal, we will get a new identity back at base."

     I threw a small ball on the ground and a blue swirl appeared. We jumped in right as a bullet from a cop hit the ball, then the portal turned red sending us to god knows where.

     "What happened, heavy sound-off!" I said as I stood up and observed our position. We were at the edge of a forest and there was a small, molecule town in the plains we were standing at.

     "What happened? If you call me heavy again you get the couch." barked Veronica who was just standing up next to me.

     "I think our teli-ball Got shot and it malfunctioned and created an anomaly. We could be on a different planet for all it cares. I see a town to the west, let's go meet the locals."

We walked to the town and on the way there I began to play music through the power armors speakers much to Veronica's annoyance.

_RAINBOW DASH POV_

     I was just finishing up with my morning exercise and I heard something strange .

"Fuck this place is bright!"

I cringed slightly at the curse and I looked to its source to see two giant two legged creatures starring at me, one was short with white plates attached to a black skin and the other was clearly a robot, the music stopped as the robot turned to the short on, who had a loose jaw, and said, "Is that a tiny blue Pegasus!" in a female sounding voice.

     "Scram baby bitch" the short one shouted as he hurled a rock at me.

     "Buck you what ever you are, I live here free country, monster!" I shouted as I dozed the rock.

     "ahhhhhhhh! Can I keep it, please Damien, it fucking talks and it is so adorable!" shouted the tall one shouted as 'Damien' stared slack jawed again.

     "We're not in Kansas anymore Dorthy"

Damien POV

     "Get down here so I don't have to yell!" I yelled to the horse. It complied without hesitation, foolish.

"Rainbow horse, do you know where we are?" I asked as it touched down in front of us.

     "Have you been living under a rock, this is Equestria, the largest country on Equis." I snorted at the name and Veronica was attempting to exit her suit.

     "One second Vee, I got you." I grabbed the back panel and opened it. Inside there was a release button that I hit making the suit slide in on itself making a box the size of a large box TV.

     "Wow, that big one kinda shed its skin." said the horse. I fell on my ass laughing at its ignorance and it looked at me next.

     "Ha! Wait- OK-I'm good. It's a suit dingus." I said after recovering from the bout of laughter. "So what's the name, because I doubt you want me to call you horse forever?"

     "My name is Rainbow Dash and I'm a pony." she replied.

     "OK, Dashie, is there a town nearby we can stay in, the forest is not the best option?"

     "Yeah, is there anymore ponies, you guys are so fucking cute?" asked Veronica who just jumped back into the conversation after putting wheels under her armor to tow it around.

     "There are lots of ponies in town, and we are not that cute. I really don't think I should take you to ponyville though, you could hurt somepony, maybe even one of my friends."

     "OK, so how do I gain your trust because we need a place to stay."

     "Just follow me, I will hold a town meeting so ponies will leave their homes." she said. "You know my name but what are yours?"

     "My name is Damien Copper and this bucket of happy is my fiance Veronica."
