New Life

Adam slowly opened his eyes, squinting and looking away when the light from the sun blinded him, he quickly moved a hand to block out the sun's rays, 'I hate mornings,' When he regained his vision, he noticed something was off. Why was there a white furry cylindrical thing in front of him where his hand was? Curious he used his left hand to poke it but instead another furry cylindrical thing came into view. His eyes widened realizing that those were once his hands. He immediately used his new alien appendages to cover his mouth to refrain from screaming out loud and alerting everything within a two-mile radius. Instead of the flat feeling of his face, his 'hooves' felt something jutting from his face. Crossing his eyes and looking down, it was his new alien nose. He looked at everything quizzically, his 'hooves' and 'muzzle', 'I think that's what they're called,' He thought it was a little strange how he was taking everything normally but remembering that he had almost cut off the dick of a human being that's the same sex as him, he had experienced weirder events. This one probably ranking at two on his list.

Relaxing a bit, he looked over at his pure white prone equine body, he had two back legs similar to his hooves, he had a pretty cool tail, and he had wings. He had two fucking wings. He was okay about the tail but wings?

He looked straight ahead, 'What the fuck?' he thought confused as hell, 'I'm a horse with wings and a tail that flows in a non-existent wind. What the hell did I do god?!' he yelled mentally, 'Is this hell?!'

He mentally flipped off god as he didn't have fingers and heard a faint 'Fuck you too,' in the back of his head but he ignored it. Probably his imagination.

He laid there relaxing and calming himself, taking everything in. He remembered being impaled by a sharp piece of metal. He looked down at his furry chest and felt around the left most region. He was pretty sure that he was impaled. There wasn't a massive scar or fur that was painted dark crimson. Just pure white, soft and fluffy fur.

He looked back at his tail which seemed to defy the laws of physics, he pointed a hoof at the tail then his eyes, 'I'm watching you, I'll deal with you later.'

Pushing those thoughts away, he decided to observe his surroundings to clear his mind of the strange situation.

He was apparently in a clearing of a thick forest, looking around at the sky, there weren't any cliff faces. The sky had an unusual color of blue, a more clean shade. Usually, he should be smelling the pollution of the vehicles and factories but instead was greeted by the sweet scent of the untainted forest around him. He had also noticed a sharply pointed object jutting from his forehead. 'I have a horn too.' He decided to deal with that later too as he was too tired to do anything.

He looked back down at the green grass, searching for his past thoughts, remembering falling down a cliff face in a truck with his sister...HIS SISTER!

Feeling a burst of energy, Adam frantically looked around for his sibling and noticed on his right was another horse a few feet away except this one was unconscious. 'Is that my sister?' he wondered, 'One way to find out.'

He rolled and shuffled into a laying position and got ready, 'Alright, now how do horses stand and walk...,' he slowly and awkwardly managed to get on all fours, shaking a bit and nearly buckling from his own weight because he had lost so much energy.

As he stood at his full height, he noticed that he was really fuckin' short now, around three feet and a few inches.

Ignoring the fact that he was now a midget, 'So left hoof first then right...hindleg...' After what felt like an eternity, he was getting the hang of it, 'Aww, fuck yeah! I can walk! Look at me mom!' Finishing up his little mental celebration, he clumsily made his way to the unconscious blue form that could be his sister.

'It's gotta be her, I know it,' he convinced himself, 'If I got turned into a horse, then she had to have turned into one too!' Now with determination to solve this mystery, he moved faster towards the sleeping horse, getting used to the walking and not constantly tripping.

Once he reached the small blue equine he fell to his haunches and observed the being that could be his sister.

She, he assumed, was a horse with a pristine dark blue coat and sapphire mane that flowed in a non-existent wind.

'Oh wait, I haven't even looked at my own hair yet other than my tail,' Adam reached around his head and pulled into view what seemed to resemble a rainbow of colors. It was also flowing like his tail. It felt like the hair of a female who kept it neat and pristine but also had the feeling of brushing his hoof through water. It was very calming to watch his mane slowly wave around but he had thins to do. Remembering that he'll deal with it later, he went back to observing his possible sister.

Looking at her head, she also had a horn which was smaller than his. He noticed that her eyelids were pretty large which meant large eyes under them, Adam wondered how big his eyes were since he hasn't seen a reflection of himself yet.

Looking at her back, she also had a pair of wings. They were dark blue and feathery. Adam turned his head and looked at his own which significantly bigger than his sister's. They didn't look like they carry his weight in the air, especially his sister's which were smaller. He attempted to move them but was awarded a few shuffles and twitches. It was like another pair of arms which made it difficult because he only had two back then. Sighing he decided to practice with them later if they could lift him, and to keep observing.

He looked toward her rear, she had a tail that's similar to her mane. She also had a weird tattoo on her ass. It was a flat black splotch with a few small round splotches breaking off, on top of that was a white crescent moon. 'If she has one then that means...'

Adam twisted his head to his rear and noticed a cartoony looking sun on top of his muscular gorgeous flank. Realizing that he was admiring his own ass, he derailed that train of thought and started a new one, brought a hoof over and lightly touched his rump. It was strange, it had the feeling of touching a girl's ass, but it wasn't a tattoo, it had the feeling of his soft fur. His fur could've been dyed but it looked too natural to him.

He heard the grass shuffling in front of him so he instantly whipped his head around to look at his sister. She was showing the signs of waking up. Adam scooted backward to give her some space.

She lifted her head and looked straight ahead and saw nothing but thick forest and shrubbery. She looked to here left and saw a white horse who had a flowing cobalt blue, turquoise, cerulean, and pink mane staring straight at her with massive magenta orbs.

There was a moment of silence as the two stared at each other until Adam hesitantly raised a hoof and waved.

"AAAHH―"

Adam lunged forward and clamped her mouth shut with his hoof and used the other to hold her down, "Shh, shh, it's me, Adam, remember me?" he cooed, whilst starting straight at her teal eyes which were the size of pins.

Her eyes widened at the mention of her brother's name and in confusion as he was now a massive horse.

"Now, I'm going to let you go," he said softly, "Promise to not scream and alert everything around us for miles?"

She nodded, then Adam released her. She gasped for air and coughed a couple times, realizing that she had been holding in a breath, "Are you really Adam? How do I know it's you?" Lyna questioned cautiously.

Adam tapped his chin with a hoof and thought over what to say, "Remember that time when I stuck my dick in a 40mm gre―" Adam was cut off abruptly.

"Ok, ok! Don't remind me of that again." she pleaded, holding up both hooves not wanting to resurface the images of her walking on her brother and seeing him sticking his manhood in the tube of an explosive launcher.

She sat up on her haunches then realized something and looked at him in confusion, "Wait, why do you sound female?" Adam's magenta eyes shrunk not realizing this before and spun around. Lyna looked away blushing and rubbing her foreleg, her wings shooting outward and making a 'pomf' sound as they unfurled, she knew what he was doing.

Adam hesitantly looked down and saw between his hind legs were two sizeable round teats and the shape of a female reproductive organ that he didn't want to believe nor see.

He threw his hooves into the air, looked straight up and yelled, "NEEEEEIIIIIIN―"

<><><><><>

Princess Celestia was having a feast as she devoured the cakes that sat before her. Princess Luna sitting across from her expressionless, turning to a waiter, "Uh, go get some mor―" but she was cut off.

"―EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!" a creature yelled loudly.

Everyone, including the Princess of the Sun who had stopped her murderous rampage, was looking at an open window. Wondering who had a voice prominent enough to yell at such volume.

"Somepony's having a bad day..." Luna said.

"Indeed," Celestia agreed, including all the staff and guards.

<><><><><>

Lyna rubbed his back with a hoof above the wings, "It'll be fine dude. Everything will be alright," it was a little weird that now she was the one comforting her brother but she took the opportunity to act like the older sibling who before had to be the one to comfort her constantly.

Lyna had managed to calm down Adam and assured him that everything was going to be alright, even though she knew that Adam was never getting back his once proud and probably glorious manhood that defined all men.

Adam sniffed, "Well, I guess there's no point in crying over spilt milk," Lyna nodded.

Lyna looked around at the forest, "Now what?" she then noticed something, there were two cases behind them, one rectangular and one square.

"What are those?" she questioned out loud whilst pointing towards to strange cases.

Adam followed her pointing and laid his eyes upon the two black cases, his eyes widening as a joyful grin surfaced on his face.

Adam galloped over to the largest case and fumbled with the two locks of the biggest case, when he managed to unlock the last lock with a satisfying click, he threw open the case and saw his bae. It was his old battle-worn M4 he used from when he had been first deployed in Afghanistan. He had two magazines, an ACOG sight, a grip and a suppressor that he had pulled out of the safe at home earlier. Ignoring the ammo and attachments for now, he awkwardly slipped his hooves from under it and pulled it into a hug, the feeling of the cold steel brushing against his fur.

Lyna watched the little reunion with a smile and shaking her head.

He pulled back and looked at his trusty weapon, "This might make up for losing my dick," he smiled and hugged it again.

Lyna slowly and awkwardly walked up next to Adam and sat down, "But how are you going to use it? We don't have fingers anymore, remember?"

Adam pulled back, his face showing no emotion this time other than a flat dark stare. Lyna slowly scooted away in case he had another outburst and started screaming 'no' in another language.

"Lemme try something," Adam calmly said, hoping that his idea will work. He laid a right hoof down on the grip of his M4, closed his eyes and imagined having his arms and fingers again wrapping around the grip and one resting on the trigger guard. He opened his eyes and lifted his right foreleg up and surprisingly the M4 went with it. Lyna and Adam both stared dumbfounded at his hoof holding the rifle like a magnet. Adam imagined letting go of the weapon and it fell with a thud on the cushioning of the case.

"How'd you do that?!" she looked down at both her hooves in shock, confusion, and awe.

He shrugged, "I just imagined having arms and hands and picking them up," he answered

Lyna looked at a stick next to her and followed what Adam had done. Resting a hoof on the stick, imagining hands, and picking it up, "Weird," she said perplexed.

"Whatever, at least I can hold it and shoot!" he clapped his hooves together. Adam looked at his hind legs, "Now, I probably can't walk on all fours and hold this weapon so I'm going to try something else."

Lyna watched Adam make new discoveries as he pushed himself up onto his hind legs, both forelegs retracted to his chest. She handed, uh, hoofed Adam his M4 which he used as a lean-on and boom, he was standing...as a horse. Adam grinned now that he wasn't short and was now about roughly the height he was as a human. But he was fucking tall, maybe seven or eight feet high now. He picked up the M4, making sure that the safety was on, held it with both forelegs pointing it at the ground and posed like a superhero.

Lyna stared at him again in awe, "Huh, you look like a soldier...without the camo clothes and stuff...and less intimidating since you are a white magical cute little horse."

Ignoring the last statement, Adam wished he had a mirror so he could see how badass he looked.

"You should try this, its pretty cool up here," Adam said.

Lyna shook her head, "Nah, I'm good, I'd rather walk on all fours and pick up things with my mouth."

Adam smirked, "Alright, Ms. I-Never-Have-Any-Fun-In-Life."

Lyna glared at him, "Hey! I always have fun, you just don't see it most of the time!" she fumed.

"Staring at a medical book isn't what I'd call fun―" Adam shrugged with both his shoulders and wings, "―but whatever works for you."

She crossed her hooves and pouted. She looked really goddammed adorable, especially as a little dark blue horse.

"Anyway, we should focus and make new discoveries later," Lyna nodded and agreed, "We should start setting up a camp, I doubt that we'd find civilization in the middle of this forest and it's getting dark," Adam suggested and looked at the lowering sun, "And do you still remember the survival tips I gave you?" she nodded, "Good, get a fire started, I'll help you once I figure out how to walk, aim, fire, and reload this weapon."

Lyna groaned because it was not easy getting a fire started with sticks. She watched Adam walk around awkwardly on two appendages that are lacking knees. She bursted into laughter as Adam face-planted the ground. She stood on all fours and got to work.

<><><><><>

Adam screwed on the suppressor to his rifle that he had managed to sneak out of the armory and through airport security.

Aiming down the sights, looking through the ACOG, "Pull!" he yelled as Lyna threw a small rock into the air. He whipped his gun into the air and pointed the suppressed barrel at the rock, leading it, and imagined pulling the trigger with his non-existent fingers. A quiet muffled bang erupted from the gun and they watched as the 5.56mm tracer round illuminated the dark forest and hit the rock dead-on and it exploded into a million pieces showering them with bits of stone.

Lyna was amazed by Adam's marksmanship mostly because she had only seen him fire weapons at poster boards in shooting ranges.

"I still got it," Adam mentally fist-pumped, "Anyway, we should get ready for tomorrow," Lyna nodded and laid her back down on a makeshift hammock as Adam flicked the safety awkwardly and leaned his weapon on a tree near his respective hammock.

Lyna rolled around, "Friggin wings dude," Adam nodded, as he was already in his hammock and rolling around too, attempting to get comfortable with his alien appendages, "And dude―" she looked and pointed at his flank which had a military-grade holster strapped to it with an M9 resting snuggly in it, "―do you really need that with you?"

Adam nodded and raised a hoof, closing his eyes, and opened his mouth to lecture her on why he needed to keep it with him at all times.

Lyna clamped her hooves over her mouth, refraining from bursting into laughter when Adam ended up rolling off the hammock and face-planting into the soil.

'Tommorrow will be an interesting day for sure,' he thought and heavily sighed on the floor of the forest and stared at the bright moon rising above him illuminating the dark forest, 'I need to find out how to control these fucking wings.'

Author's Note

They are now ponies! Badda boom!
If you guys are wondering what Adam looks like, he looks exactly like Princess Celestia and he's naked.

Lyna looks like Princess Luna but is shorter than Adam and she's naked too.

By naked, I mean that they don't have the royal crowns and stuff.
As always, constructive criticism is welcomed to help me improve for the next chapter.

Strange Encounters

"I demand that you give me their files!" Lyna shouted, both fists striking the counter in front of her. She was currently in the administration building where the U.S. government kept records of currently deployed, retired, and deceased soldiers.

A man dressed in pixelated green camouflage behind the desk pulled his glasses off, pinched his nose and sighed, "I'm sorry ma'am but for the last time, you are requesting access to highly classified files which I sadly cannot give you, I am very sorry for the inconvenience."

Lyna knew he was not sorry for shit.

Lyna angrily punched the plexiglass which was separating her from doing anything too drastic, but she wanted this man to give her what she wanted and this was the only way. She didn't like violence but this man was keeping something that belonged to her and he was pushing her past her limits and getting on her nerves.

The man then stood up and pointed towards the entrance, "Please leave immediately or I will call the sentries to come and drag your ass out of here kid," he smirked, crossing his arms.

Lyna threw another swing at the plexiglass, this time which gave a faint crack sound and upon inspecting it, it had cracked. Lyna grinned devilishly as the man visually recoiled and she got ready to swing another fist at the weakened structure. The man grabbing the radio behind him and saying something before slowly backing up with a slight ounce of fear present on his young face. Lyna smiled evilly as she brought her fury upon the glass, but she felt something strong grip her wrist.

A voice behind her spoke, "I wouldn't advise doing that ma'am, please leave or you'll be shot and I'll have to file a report saying you attacked an on-duty officer."

The guy behind the counter smirked, "You had it coming," Lyna gave him a death glare, she then turned in defeat and proceeded to the entrance, flanked side by side by two armed sentries.

"Bitch."

Lyna immediately spun around and dashed towards the already cracked glass, full of rage, the sentries not wanting to have their asses court marshaled for shooting a civilian, tried to grab her again, but she was nimble and burst through the glass, surprising the man behind the counter. He dashed for a rifle but was too slow as Lyna pounced on his back and proceeded to beat the backside of his head to a pulp. The two sentries were aiming their pistols at her, yelling and shouting, telling her to stop or she'll be shot. But she didn't care, she wanted those files and this guy she was currently giving the beating of his life, was the first step. She then felt something round pressed up against the back of her skull, hearing the faint noise of something clicking.

She knew what it was.

She closed her eyes, knowing what would happen next. Until the door on her right flew open with incredible speed, startling everyone in the room, at the door was someone she recognized, "What the fuck are you doing Lyna?!"

<><><><><>

Lyna shot up, fully awake in cold sweat and nearly falling off her hammock.

"Woah, take it easy Lyna, are you ok?" she felt a hoof on her shoulder, Lyna looked to her left, it was Adam. She could barely see Adam as it was still dark and the fire had long gone, but she could see the white of his fur sticking out from the blackness, illuminated by the bright moon and resting upon her shoulder, "You...you still care about me...right?" she hesitantly questioned, looking away.

Adam looked at her with a bit of confusion because of the random question but ignored it as he gave her a gentle sad smile, "Of course, like I said before we 'died', I will always love and care about you, no matter what happens," he said softly.

Lyna relaxed a little but then slowly looked up at him, "Even after what...I did that one time?"

"Well―" Lyna visually winced, "―it was a bitch to clean up and create a dumb cover up story, but I still care about you Lyna, after all, you are my little sister," Adam smiled warmly and opened up his forelegs and pulled Lyna into a sympathetic hug. And also pulling her off the hammock with a thud.

She was surprised and hesitated a little but smiled, closing her eyes and returning the hug, wrapping her forelegs around his back. The feeling of his warm fur and feathers keeping her warm from the day's still chilling morning.

"And stop making me feel all touchy-feely, it ruins my man card."

"But you aren't a man anymore, remember?" Lyna sneered, Adam ignored her.

Lyna pulled away from his caring hug and gave another smile, even though she was roughly dragged off of her makeshift bed and onto the cold ground, "So why are you up?" she asked, changing the topic, not wanting to make the mood sadder than before.

"Well, I was getting ready to go hunting―" Lyna cut him off.

"At like five in the morning?" she questioned, tilting her head and looking at the moon. Whilst noticing that he was holding the rifle and pointing it towards the woods.

"Actually it's three but―" Adam cleared his throat, "―what I was saying before that question earlier, you started to scream and thrash around a lot, I had to repeatedly push you back into the middle―" Adam's face then contorted to concern and worry, "―then you stopped and started to laugh like a stereotypical villain."

Lyna looked away, thinking vigorously, "I...I did that?" she hesitantly asked.

"Yeah, woke me up, was scary as shit and gave me chills, but I survived," Adam looked at her concerned again, "Are you sure that you're alright?" he questioned, "It's not every day, you hear someone laughing crazily in their sleep."

She looked back at him shamefully, "Yeah, I'm fine Adam, I just...need some time alone."

"Alright, I'll leave you alone," he smiled then slung his weapon on his back and stood and his hooves, "Anyway, I'll be looking for food, you've haven't eaten anything in a while."

Lyna had just noticed that she was starving, "Ok," she looked at him worryingly, "Please stay safe."

"Can't guarantee it," Adam saw her slightly panicked face, "But I'll try this time."

"Get the fire ready if ya want and you can..." Adam held a hoof to his chin, "...I don't know but just don't laugh maniacally again, it creeps me the hell out."

Lyna looked away, slightly embarrassed from her unconscious flailing, 'I hope I'm okay...'

"Oh yeah! Practice using these," he gave a light ruffle of his wings, "And also keep an eye out for any scattered gear," he then pointed at a camouflaged vest which Lyna had not noticed before, "Apparently, those two cases weren't the only things that came with us."

She nodded, hoping she would find anything that isn't militarized.

"And if anything comes out of the forest―" Adam unclipped the holster on his right flank and pulled out his M9 with a hoof, "―fire into the air or if you're feeling feisty, shoot that sucker," Adam flipped the pistol into the air, grabbed it by the slide, then pointed the grip towards her.

Lyna, still not used to picking up things with hooves, hesitantly took the pistol in her mouth, sat on her haunches and started to fiddle with it with both her hooves. Adam just smiled at the sight.

Adam walked over to the vest which already had plating within it and the second 30 round magazine and three pistol magazines tucked snuggly into its holders, 'Kinda weird how I didn't even bring this stuff with me on the truck...do I even own this at home? I mean, it's not every day you trip over a fully plated tactical vest in the middle of a forest,' Adam mentally shrugged, 'Eh, fuck it, finders keepers,' he picked up the heavy tactical vest and slipped it on, 'Even weirder how it fuckin' fits me too,' he thought as he examined the vest, 'Creepy.'

Deciding that Santa had given him this gear because he was good, 'Even though I've killed hundreds,' he turned and started towards the forest until Lyna called out, "Wait!" Adam turned his head, "Are you gonna kill like an animal or something?" he nodded.

"Why? You like animals?"

She shrugged with her hooves with a slight raise of her folded wings, "I don't have a problem with killing animals but don't ponies and horses eat like grass and plants?"

Adam thought this over, he looked down towards the green grass illuminated by the moon then curiously opened his mouth, "Adam what are you―"

Adam lowered his head and took a mouth full of grass, then proceeded to spit it out as his face turned to pure disgust, "Yeh! It tastes like shit!" He opened his mouth wide and started to use his hooves in an attempt to rub any of the vile material off his tongue to reduce the awful aftertaste.

Lyna had dropped the M9 to the ground and was making an attempt to not burst out into loud laughter. As she controlled the laughter, she then noticed something, 'Why does Adam have canine teeth...? Then again, I didn't get a good look.'

"Adam, open your mouth," he paused from his rubbing and looked at her. His huge magenta eyes staring quizzically at her.

"I swear if you stick a dic―"

"I'm not gonna stick a dick in your mouth," Lyna interrupted, "Now friggin' open your mouth."

Adam hesitantly opened his mouth, 'I swear if she sticks her horn...'

Lyna picked up the M9 which was still on the floor, stood up and moved towards Adam, 'Unless she sticks that gun in...'

Lyna sat back down, leaned closer and took a look at his teeth, 'Huh, I was right, they are canine...and look pretty sharp,' she examined as Adam shifted on his haunches, uncomfortable from this level of examining, 'They look a lot like the ones we had as humans.'

Adam closed his mouth and backed up, "So, uh, why did you play dentist for a sec?"

"Apparently, we still have our human teeth," she replied.

"Does it look like I care?" Lyna glared at him, "I still would've eaten meat anyway."

"You would've not been able to chew it easily."

"Then I'll swallow it like a snake."

"But you'll choke," Lyna giggled mentally, 'On dick.'

Adam threw his hooves into the air frustrated, "Whatever, I'm gonna go find some game," Adam turned, slung his rifle over his neck which rested on his chest and headed into the dark, thick forest.

<><><><><>

"There you go Mr. Rabbit, are you comfortable with your new home?" a yellow pegasus asked.

A little white rabbit peered from its new home, which was a fallen hollowed out tree trunk, and nodded whilst smiling warmly.

"Are you sure that you'll be fine with living in the Everfree forest?" Fluttershy's face shifted to worry and panicked, "I mean there's a lot of monsters and creatures that could hurt you and w-what if t-t-hey..." she almost burst into tears but felt something on her foreleg. It was the rabbit giving her a small hug and a reassuring smile that said, 'I'll be fine.'

"Ok... but please be safe," the rabbit nodded, "And if you need anything, please head over to my cottage, I have more than enough room for you," the rabbit nodded for the umpteenth time.

Fluttershy turned whilst picking up an oil lamp, looked back at the little white rabbit who was waving goodbye and then walked towards the exit of the dark forest. She didn't like leaving the rabbit there alone in the Everfree forest but if he wanted to stay, she can't stop him.

'What if he gets hurt?' Fluttershy's face once again, became panicked, 'But he should be able to take care of himself...right?'

As she walked she kept on thinking about how Mr. Rabbit was going to survive on his own, 'I just wish that he'd stay with me and the safety of my cottage...'

Ahead on the side of the path, she saw a dark figure, it looked like another pony, but with thinner legs. She immediately stopped and stared straight at the figure, hoping it was a friend.

"Um...hello?" she shyly whispered.

The figure started to slowly move towards her. Fluttershy's face changed from worried to fear as she backed up, hoping that the creature will just go away. She closed her eyes, 'M-my eyes are j-j-just messing with me...'

But they weren't.

The figure got closer as the yellow pegasus backed up. She felt her rump hit something hard, she turned her head. It was a tree.

She immediately fell to her belly, dropping the oil lamp in her mouth where it fell to the ground, smashing and enveloping her in pure darkness. She started to tear up as she held her hooves over her head, 'Go away!' she hoped mentally.

It didn't go away.

With only the moon to illuminate the surroundings and the dark figure as it got closer. It was a few feet away and it stopped as the moon fully lit up the figure.

It was a deer.

Fluttershy let out a sigh of relief, 'Thank Celestia, it's just a deer...maybe he'll want to come back to the cottage with me!' she smiled, the fear that was once present, now gone.

The deer tilted it's head, looking at her quizzically. Wondering why she was so afraid.

Fluttershy was about to get up before she heard a faint 'pssh' and seeing something fast flying at supersonic speeds coming out of the forest, illuminating the dark forest whilst making a faint hissing sound as it headed straight for the deer.

The deer let out a choked loud grunt as the foreign object pierced the deer's skin and flesh, rupturing vital organs as the object cut its way out the opposite side of the deer, and spattering strange patterns of blood all over the illuminated forest floor. The deer choked again before collapsing on the ground and twitching as it's life essence poured out of two small sized holes creating a puddle of crimson.

Fluttershy was shocked and immediately pushed herself behind the tree, quietly whimpering, 'W-w-what h-happened?!' she thought, trying not to scream and attract the mysterious killer.

For a few moments, nothing happened. It was eerily quiet. Way too quiet. She was about to get up and run crying until something shifted to her far left. She watched as a bipedal dark figure came out of the dark forest, holding something in its arms, pointed towards the corpse, slowly moving towards the deer. Fluttershy quietly watched, 'W-who is this? W-w-why would t-they kill a poor innocent animal?!' she suppressed a whimper as the figure got closer to the corpse. She suppressed a gasp as the figure was lit up by the moon.

There, standing on two hindlegs was another pony, 'she', Fluttershy assumed, had a white coat which was partially covered by a bulky vest, a flowing ethereal mane of many colors and a long horn plus two large folded wings on her back. One image of a certain pony had materialized in her mind.

'Princess Celestia?'

She was aghast, 'W-why is Princess Celestia here?! In the E-Everfree forest at four in the m-morning?! Why did she k-k-kill an i-i-innocent c-c-creature?!' she started to whimper when the white alicorn started to move around the deer, the odd 'cylindrical spear' still pointed at the corpse and unknowingly moving closer to Fluttershy.

Fluttershy tried to suppress the barrage of whimpers that were about to unleash, 'P-p-please don't s-see me,' fear crossed her face as the alicorn pulled out a knife from a sheath on his bulky vest, it glinting in the darkness.

<><><><><>

Adam looked over his kill as he mentally nodded, 'Should be enough for both of us.'

Adam looked at his combat knife which he had found stuck in a tree while searching for food. It had a ring for which it was mounted on a weapon to be used as a bayonet, 'I don't like bayonets, they don't work well with long ass suppressors... and reminds me of how World War One was fought.'

He slung his suppressed rifle over his neck and fell to his haunches and was about skin the deer until something rustled the bushes behind him.

Adam jumped back up to his hindlegs with great speed and whipped around while simultaneously readying the knife and hastily pointing his M4 towards the noise. He couldn't see anything, 'I need to find some NVGs...ah fuck it,' Adam flicked the combat knife towards the location of the sound, the knife disappearing into the darkness, hoping that he'll get a second kill to impress Lyna as she had never seen his hunting skills.

<><><><><>

Fluttershy watched in horror as the sharp pointy object embedded itself into the tree trunk with a 'thwunk', inches away from her face.

She instantly teared up, frantically pushing herself away from her almost gruesome death and screamed as she turn't and ran down the dark path.

<><><><><>

Adam saw a dark yellowish figure shift around vigorously in the bushes before hearing, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, h-help somepony! Princess Celestia's trying to k-kill meeee! What did I d-do wrong?!"

Adam had his weapon aimed at the fleeing figure, 'The hell?' he slowly lowered his weapon, eyeing the distant darkening figure who was still screaming at the top of it's lungs, he shook his head, 'Screw it, I'll think about this later,' he looked over at his combat knife, glinting in the darkness, 'I gotta move, no doubt she woke up the entire forest.'

Adam fell to his legs and hastily pulled his combat knife from the tree and sheathed it on his vest. He then galloped over to the lifeless corpse of a deer and awkwardly pulled it onto his back, painting some of his white fur and mostly the vest with crimson. He ignored the cold feeling and galloped into the thick forest.

Adam silently walked towards the camp, pondering about the recent events, looking at the dark trees hanging over him and around him, 'Who the fuck was that? Why was it another pony and not a human?' he guessed that he had died and went to hell along with his sister earlier, mostly because his truck wasn't there and he was pretty sure that he was in a truck before all of this mind fuck stuff happened, 'Apparently hell is where humans are turn't into fuckin' ponies,' he smiled if that was the case, 'At least we were turn't ponies so I have a chance at blending in with the other ponies if there are any,' Adam thought, 'These ponies probably would've gunned me down if they saw a fully armed human strolling into town.'

He frowned as there was still one question unanswered, 'Why did she call me Princess Celestia?'

Before he could ponder again, he heard multiple distant loud popping sounds, sounds that he too well recognized.

'Oh no.'

Lyna threw the emptied pistol at the darkened figure with a hoof. It gave a low growl as it dodged.

"Back off! Go away!" Lyna shouted and backed away from the closing in creature.

As the creature got closer, it opened its eyes which gave a dark lime greenish color, lightly lighting up the darkness.

"I said to screw off!" she shouted again and pointed towards the forest, "Turn around and go back into the forest!"

The creature gave another low growl before stepping closer. Lyna kept on backing up as the creature was lit up by the campfire she had created.

Lyna now had a good view of her predator. The creature looked like a wolf, about the size of her, but this was no ordinary wolf like the ones at home. The wolf seemed to be made up of wood, branches, leaves and logs serving as the creature's flesh and bones. Lyna noticed it's sharp teeth as a dark green saliva dripped from it's mouth and it's eyes glowed green as they locked onto her.

She tripped on a branch and fell backward towards the ground with a loud thud, "Ow!" she yelped in pain and rubbed her back. She stopped, eyes widening as fear crossed her face when she heard the low intimidating growl again, this time a lot closer. She turned her head and cowered as the wolf was a few feet away, readying a stance to pounce on her and rip her to shreds, its mouth watering and dripping.

'Where are you Adam?!' she thought, 'Please don't be dead...'

Before the wooden wolf could leap into the air and end her life, she heard a feminine yell that resembled a battle roar. They both looked around in confusion, Lyna saw Adam running on his hindlegs charging towards to unsuspecting wolf with his rifle which had a knife attached to the barrel, 'Where did he get that?' The wolf heard Adam and was caught by surprise as Adam lunged forward, driving the bayoneted rifle into the wolf's wooden neck. The wolf let out a sickening gurgle as Adam twisted the rifle before pulling it out and aiming the barrel towards the wolf's head.

"No one mess's with my sister."

Adam pulled the trigger, the striking pin hitting the primer and igniting the 5.56mm cartridge and sending the bullet spiraling down the barrel at supersonic speeds and straight into the wolf's head, sending shards of wood flying in every direction as the bullet turned the inside into a gory paste and coming out the other side splattering brain matter and blood all over the green grass, painting it red. The sound thundered as Lyna clamped her ears shut with both hooves, still not used to the loud sound. The wooden wolf then collapsed and fell apart as it died.

"Adam! Thank God you're alive!," she pushed herself up, ignoring the pain and jumping on the white pony, grinning from ear to ear and catching him by surprise. He dropped his gore-covered weapon and tried to back up but she was fast and pulled him into a loving rib-crushing hug and ignoring the fact that his vest was damp with blood.

She heard a faint 'Your welcome,' in the back of her mind, but ignored it as she was overwhelmed by pure joy.

"Goddammit...can't...breathe," Adam heaved.

Lyna realized that she was hurting Adam and let go while looking away and lightly blushing, "Oh, uh, hehe...sorry," she covered her face with a dark blue wing.

'Argh! It's too cute!,' Adam thought as his mind was engulfed in cuteness.

"I assume that you've found out how to control your wings?" Adam groaned whilst rubbing his back. He looked at the sky, the yellow shining sun started rising from the ground. It filled the sky with mighty colours of red and splashed the clouds with endless rays of pink and illuminated the once darkened forest, 'Man, what I wouldn't give for a camera right now.'

She nodded ecstatically, "Yea! I can friggin' fly now!" she spread her wings and flapped them quickly, jumping into the air as she hovered. Then attempted to land which ended with a face full of dirt. Adam burst into laughter.

Lyna sat up and rubbed her face and horn, crossing her hooves and frowning, glaring at him, "You think that you can do better?"

Adam made an effort to control himself, "N-nah, no, i-it's..."

"It's what?"

"It's n-nothing," she raised an eyebrow, "Nothing really, just remember to teach me later," Adam managed to control his laughter and exhaled, 'Whoo...haven't laughed like that since July.'

Lyna decided to let him have his fun. She stood up and walked over to the wooden wolf's corpse, "Anyway, I'm pretty sure that these kind of wolves aren't found back at home," she then kicked a branch that was once attached to the wolf.

Adam stood up and walked past the wolf towards a black object on the ground, "Well we are most likely in hell," Adam picked up the emptied pistol and slipped out the empty magazine tucking it in his vest and pulled out a fresh one and slid it in, pulling the slide back with a hoof which cocked the pistol, and then slipping it into his side holster.

Lyna looked at him quizzically, "How? I haven't seen any monsters or demons."

Adam looked back, "Well, I don't know, God or Satan is probably messing around with us I bet," they both looked at the sky, "And created something that I am supposed to be scared of," Adam held a hoof to his chin and looked back down, "Which I'm not scared of, except for the man to women shit, I ain't forgiving God when I catch his ass."

Lyna looked down and shook her head, deciding to deal with their assumed location at a later time, "Ok, so now what?"

"Well first I'm gonna head back and pickup a deer that I killed and dropped somewhere in the forest cause I am hungry as fuck," Lyna agreed, he then pulled his heavy vest off, dropping it to the ground and stretched, "And then I'm gonna wash the blood off and get some shut-eye."

Before Adam could head towards the forest, they both heard the sound of leaves rustling, it sounded way too unnatural.

Adam galloped towards his dropped M4, ignoring the vest and picked it up whilst pushing himself onto his hindlegs and pointing the weapon towards the thick forest. They both waited, unmoving as they watched the bushes rustle again.

They saw another one of those wooden wolves come out of the forest, but this one was small, it looked like a pup, they both watched as the lone pup ran towards the pile of blood and wood, Adam kept his gun trained on the pup, the pup sniffed around then looked at Adam quizzically then looked at Lyna. It started to run towards Lyna.

Lyna heard a faint clicking sound which sounded like a safety going off, "Stop Adam!" she immediately jumped in front of the pup who was looking around curiously at the two.

"Lyna move! It's gonna kill you!" Adam commanded.

"A little puppy?! I doubt it dude, and look!" she pointed a hoof at the small wolf who was peering at Adam from behind the dark blue pony, "It's not even hurting me!"

"That's what it wants you to think!" Adam yelled.

"You're overreacting!"

"No, I'm not! I'm putting the thing out of its misery!," Adam pointed towards the pile of wood stained with blood, "I probably killed its mother!"

"Probably but look! We can't just kill a young wolf just because it doesn't have a caretaker...yet."

"What do you mean by 'yet'?!"

Lyna felt the small wolf nuzzle her hind leg, "I mean we take it in and care for it."

"What?! Are you out of your mind? We don't even know how to take care of an animal let alone one that no one has ever heard of!"

"Lower your weapon, Adam," Lyna said sternly.

Adam glanced at the wolf then at Lyna, there was a extremely long pause as the two stared, he looked down and sighed heavily, flicking the safety back on and dropping the rifle to the ground and falling onto his haunches, "But if that thing rips your face off, don't come crying to me," he crossed his hooves and glared at Lyna, not noticing the little pup's advancements on Adam.

When he saw the wolf, it was too late, the wolf pounced on Adam and he fell backward onto his back. Adam was about to grab the wolf and fling it into the fire until he felt something warm. He looked towards his belly and saw the little pup laying on top of him and nuzzling his soft white fur which surprisingly isn't covered in blood.

"Looks like he likes you, Adam," she playfully said.

'Maybe it's not so bad,' Adam sighed again, "Hopefully I don't regret this..." he murmured as he pushed the pup off who struggled and attempted to lay back on Adam's warm fur again, "Anyway, I need to talk to you about something that happened in the forest," he said rolling over and pushing himself upright.

"Yeah? What is it? What happened?"

"While I was about the skin a deer that I killed, some yellow pony came out of the bushes and ran off screaming bloody murder."

Lyna petted the little wolf who moved to her side, "Weird, and there's more ponies?" Adam nodded, 'And you said this is hell...'

"Even weirder when she called me 'Princess Celestia' and basically begged for me not to kill her as she ran."

Lyna did a double take, "Why did they call you that? Are you like, their version of Satan?"

Adam shrugged, "I'm guessing that I'm like a story character or something from their fairytale books."

"I dunno, that's pretty farfetched, us getting sent to 'hell' as you call it and being turn't into cute little ponies? It sounds ridiculous if we told them that."

"Yeah but there's also another problem, that pony probably went to go get their authorities to hunt us down."

Lyna's face went blank, "What do we do if they find us? Won't they think were crazy if we told them our story? And also your name is another problem too," she worryingly informed him.

"How? I don't see any problems."

"A female pony walking around with the name 'Adam' and used to be a guy? Yeah right, you'll end up in a mental institute!" Lyna looked at him, "Even if you tell them what happened, they'll think you're crazy as hell," she reasoned, "Adam, you gotta change your name."

Adam went pale, "But I like my name!" he pleaded.

Lyna looked at him sadly, "I like it too but you gotta change it, it won't make any sense if the police catch me calling you Adam," she placed a hoof on his shoulder, "You won't like it when it's in their mental patient database."

Adam looked down and fell silent, 'She's right, it doesn't make any sense, especially now that I'm a girl,' his face darkening as he realized what he had to do, "But what should I change it to?"

Lyna stopped petting the small wolf who was now asleep and held a hoof to her chin, "What did that one pony call you? Celestia right?" she looked at Adam who obviously didn't want to change his name which represented as one of the last signs he had of being a man before. She started making up names, "How about Tia?" he shook his head, "Celest?" he shook his head again, "Celly?" he shook his head once more, "It's sounds catchy, Celly it is."

Adam/Celly glared at her, "But it's too girly! How am I supposed to intimidate my enemies?" he threw his hooves in the air in frustration.

"Cmon, it sounds cute on you," Celly's ears fell flat as she crossed her hooves and pouted, "Cheer up dude, how about we go take a bath in a lake that I found while flying and then have a meal with the deer you killed, hmm? That sound good?" she suggested softly, rubbing his back. (The story will start to refer Adam/Celly as she, her, etc. to make more sense.)

Celly looked at her, slowly nodded, "I might as well change it, but I won't like it for a while."

"Understandable," she looked at Celly, who was depressed as hell, "Maybe you'll attract some girls~" she mischievously said, "If you're still into that of course."

"Obviously, I used to be a dude, my name may have changed to some girly fucking shit but I still got a lot of me left in here," Celly pointed towards her chest, "How I'm gonna do it without a dick?" she shrugged, "I dunno but I'll find a way, I always do."

"No doubt," Lyna looked at the sun which was now overhead, 'Dang, time flies when shit goes down,' she looked at Celly who just sat there motionless staring at the ground which was very unusual for her past self, "Anyway, let's get you washed up 'sister'," she smiled warmly as she picked up the sleeping wolf with her hooves and gestured Celly to put him on her back.

Celly gave a sad depressed look at her, 'I'll never get used to this...' she thought as she stood up and let Lyna place the wolf on her back on the non-bloodied fur. She twisted her neck around and looked at the sleeping wolf who was snuggling his white fur. Celly smiled sadly, 'I guess it isn't so bad...for now.'

Princess Twilight Sparkle walked towards her destination inside of her massive crystal castle. She looked at the crystals on the wall and ceiling, reflections of lights danced and glinted as she walked. She turned a corner and opened two massive oversized doors with her magic which lead her into one room that she loved being in; the library!

'Today's reshelving day!' she grinned from ear to ear as she clapped her hooves together. But before she could start pulling all the thousands of books lining the shelved walls, the door behind her burst open, loudly banging as they hit the walls.

She turned her head and saw an orange earth pony with a stetson on her head at the door who had a face of worry and concern, "Twi! Ah' need your help!"

Twilight fully turned her body around to face the orange pony, "Calm down AJ, what is it?" she asked, a little worried.

Applejack placed a hoof on her chest and breathed, "It's something havin' ta do with Flutters. She ain't comin' outta her cottage and keeps on whisperin' about Princess Celestia out fer her hide."

Twilight stared at Applejack confused, "What? That's strange, why would the Princess be going after Fluttershy? Did she do something wrong?"

"Ah don't know but she's real shaken up like pony swimmin' in ice-cold water. Can ya ask the Princess why she would be actin' like this?" Applejack asked.

"I'm not sure, the Princess is currently doing something important in Canterlot and told me specifically not to disturb her unless she says otherwise."

Applejack looked worried, "Jus' send a letter anyway Twi, ah'm sure she'll understand."

Twilight shrugged a little, "I don't know AJ, she sounded like she really didn't want to be disturbed at all."

"Please Twi," Applejack pleaded, "Ah can't stand seein' Flutters actin' like this."

"Alright AJ, I'll send her a letter, but she might not reply."

"Better ta try than do nothin'," Applejack said.

"I guess so," Twilight stood up and walked toward a crystal desk, magically producing a scroll, inkwell, and a quill. She spread the rolled sheet and began writing.

<><><><><>

Lyna sat and watched a wet Celly awkwardly attempt to wash her back, Lyna smiled at the sight.

Lyna looked up at the bright shining sun, 'Honestly, I don't like calling him―, I mean, her Celly,' she sighed and looked back down at the peacefully sleeping wolf, 'Its gonna be hard to get used to, no doubt that she's having a hard time too,' she stood up and walked towards Celly who was still struggling to wash herself, "Hey! Lemme help you Ad―, er, Celly!"

Celly stopped and looked at her, "I can do this myself," she said sternly, "I don't need any help."

Lyna's expression hardened, 'No doubt he's mad,' she stepped into the warm water and headed towards Celly, "Dude, just let me help you, I can see that you're struggling."

"I can do this myself, Lyna." Celly seethed as she turned and once again tried to wash herself.

Lyna couldn't just stand there and watch him, it wasn't even funny anymore, "If you won't let me help you, I'll forcefully hold you down and wash you."

"Like hell you can―" Celly was interrupted as Lyna jumped high into the air, surprising the hell out of Celly as she tried to run but the water made it difficult. Lyna landed on top of Celly and pushed her down, the water shallow enough for her to breathe.

Celly struggled to move as Lyna held her forelegs down, "I know you're mad and stuff but we aren't gonna get anywhere if you keep sulking around!" Celly glared at Lyna as she struggled to move, looking for any opportunities to take advantage of.

Seeing as there were none, Celly stared once again at Lyna, her teal eyes digging into her own. She sighed in defeat, "Fine."

"Now tell me whats wrong so I can help you."

"Get off me first."

"Not until you tell me the problem."

Celly looked away from her sisters gaze, "Ugh, fine, I am a teensy bit mad about the name change," Lyna raised an eyebrow, "and I just don't like it when you're helping me."

"Why?" Lyna asked, genuinely curious, she's helped Adam before with a few minor things.

Celly looked straight into her eyes, "Because..."

"Because what?" she demanded.

"...Because I made a promise to our parents to take care of you and you only. I vowed to myself to only help you become successful. I never saw myself having a good paying job because I was pretty bad in school and constantly started fights. I just don't like it whenever someone else has to help me do something. It just doesn't...feel right and I don't need you fussing over it."

After all these years, Lyna had never realized this before, 'Is this why Adam's always so helpful? He only wanted to see me become...successful?' she started to look away as she took in the new information. She never knew that Adam had been constantly aiding her, now that she thought about it more, he was always too helpful, buying the house, paying all the taxes, buying her that truck, and a bunch of other stuff too.

"I just...wanted to...ya know...see you have a perfect and successful life, my life could be debatable but I'm a soldier, I'm supposed to die protecting our nation, I've seen some shit in Afghanistan and it could traumatize anyone, it's already affected me, like how our parents died when we were young."

Lyna still did not know how their parent's lives ended but seeing both Adam and Celly, it probably could traumatize her.

Lyna looked back down at Celly who was clouded by sadness, looking down away from her. Lyna pushed herself off of Celly and sat on here haunches staring at the glistening water to process the new information. Celly slowly pushed herself up, water sloshing around them as they both sat in silence.

Celly broke the silence, "I uh, I understand if you hate me now that you know...our parents didn't want you to know but...I guess that you have the right to know now," she rubbed the back of her head.

Lyna had mixed emotions running through her head, she stared right a Celly who was looking down the entire time, not wanting to make eye contact. Tears started to build up in her eyes and she jumped in front of Celly, water splashing everywhere and drenching them both as she hugged her tightly.

Celly was surprised. She looked down at Lyna who wept quietly. Celly rubbed her back trying to calm her. Feeling bad that she caused her sister to cry.

"I d-don't hate y-you, I-I love you...big sis," Lyna whispered before burying her head in Celly's chest and weeping again.

Celly was taken back, 'She called me her big sister...' she decided to go with it, she wanted 'brother' but at the current situation, it wouldn't sound right, she let it slide and let out a small sigh, 'I guess I'll have to deal with it, if she's happy, I'm happy,' she smiled and awkwardly wrapped her massive wings around Lyna, still not used to using them.

After what had felt like hours she sniffed as she controlled her emotions, "S-sorry that I...you know," she looked up at Celly.

Celly gave a warm smile, "I don't really care and it's alright, just don't pin me in the water again, ever."

She smiled and rubbed her muzzle with a hoof, "S-so are you still mad about the name thing?" she sniffed.

"Nah, I'll just...learn to deal with it in time, it'll take a while but I guess I can go with it," Celly brought a hoof up and wiped away a tear as they parted from their long hug, "Now cmon, I am starving, I'm trained to go days without food but I'm friggin' dying!" she stood up and shook herself, ignoring how dirty she was.

Lyna splashed some water in her face to get rid of any leftover tears, "Not until you let me wash you first."

Celly looked at her sister, who looked like she wasn't gonna take no as an answer. She sighed, falling to her haunches and smiled, letting Lyna help her just this one time, "Fine. But hurry, I still don't like being helped. And I probably gotta go hunting again."

Lyna clapped her hooves together happily as if she had never cried before and started to wade towards Celly. She was about to place her hooves on Celly's back until she heard a splash and was met with a face full of water.

"You gotta catch me first!" Celly teased and jumped away from Lyna, splashing more water towards her. Lyna dodged the water and stared at Celly, "Oh you're gonna get it!" she playfully yelled and splashed water at her sister. They both hopped around, laughing as they drenched each other. The little wolf waking up and running to the water joining the two in their naval war, happily barking.

As they laughed and played in the water, what they didn't know was that two alicorns were watching from a distance, hidden in the thick forest by the dark shade of the massive trees. Silently watching the three frolic around in the water.

Author's Note

I know that there're many readers who aren't a fan of Adam getting his name changed to Celly. But it would make more sense for him/her to have a feminine name.

Also, gimme a few suggestions for the little timberwolf's name, I can't think of one right now.

I'm probably forgeting to mention something but whatever.

Right now, I'm gonna celebrate with a bowl of hot ramen! Then do homework (groan).

Once again, constructive criticism is always welcome!

The Authorities

Four Hours Prior to the Last Chapter

Princess Celestia was very tired, she didn't feel very energized even with the power of the sun by her side. She was sitting upon her throne in her throne room, waiting for ponies to arrive at day court and explain their problems.

"Sister, are you alright?"

The white alicorn removed her gaze from the two massive doors and looked to her right, a dark blue alicorn was worryingly looking at her.

"Yes, Lulu, I am fine," Celestia reassured, "I'm just tired of my ponies and their ridiculously simple problems that don't require my aid," Celestia's face turned to concern, "And shouldn't you be asleep?"

"I do not require as much rest as you do Tia," Luna replied, "And you should take the day off, I can see the amount of stress and fatigue on your face."

"I'm tired from that strong headache from a day ago and my ponies need me, I cannot leave my duty."

"Tia, I cannot see you like this, go take this day off and maybe the next one too, I will be maintaining your day court until your return."

"Are you sure? I mean much can go astray during my leave and what if―"

Celestia was cut off as a dark blue hoof rested on her shoulder, "Tia, I already held your day court once several moons ago and nothing went amiss, you must trust me on this."

Celestia gave a blank stare at her sister before sighing, "Alright, Lulu, I will trust you for now. Don't believe that I ignored your," Celestia brought a hoof up and coughed, "accident when you held court last time."

Luna's face lightly reddened as she recalled her actions when holding day court from before, "I thought we were to never speak of that again," she said whilst looking away embarrassed.

Celestia smiled and turned to her two guards who haven't moved an inch since the beginning of day court.

"Guards!" they both turned their heads, "Notify Canterlot of my absence and Princess Luna will be holding the rest of day court until my return."

"Yes your highness!" the guards saluted and galloped out the throne room.

Celestia stood up and turned to Luna, "Please be safe and don't be too drastic about some of the ponies problems. It might get a little frustrating after awhile."

"I will be fine," Luna said, "and be safe too."

"I will," Celestia wrapped a foreleg around her sister and headed to her room to prepare.

<><><><><>

Celestia had finally reached her room, 'I swear, these hallways are getting longer and longer,' she pushed one of the massive doors leading to her room with her magic and then she entered and closed it.

Her room was very large mostly because she was rather large herself. The walls were lined with gray hardened stone with a few touches of white and gold here and there. Her bed was on the right wall and was massive too, it could probably fit several full grown ponies. Straight ahead was a balcony that she used to watch, raise, and lower the sun.

Celestia smiled as she walked over to a table which had a purple pillow resting on it. She removed her shoes, regalia, and her crown, placing them carefully on the pillow. She then turned and started packing items into her gold-lined white saddlebags. She felt giddy, she could have the entire day off and the one after that too! Celestia hastily packed everything from a few books to food that maids had left earlier. She finished and pulled the heavy saddlebags on, pulling them secure. She now could do anything she wanted to. She grinned from ear to ear as she pondered about the possibilities. She was about to start her journey until she heard the sound of hooves landing on the floor.

"Message to Princess Celestia!" a pony said.

Celestia turned her head towards the balcony and saw a gray pegasus mare holding a letter towards her. She took the letter in her magic and smiled warmly, "Thank you my little pony," the gray mare smiled and nodded, before leaving Celestia and the letter alone.

'I wonder what this could be?' Celestia thought as she opened the letter and read it.

To the Princesses of the Sun and Moon,

I have been notified of some sort of dangerous creature lurking in the Everfree forest, one of the Elements have caught sight of it but ran away. She has not described to us this creature as she is unresponsive and it may have traumatized her. We hope that you are able to aid us in a search for this creature. We anxiously await your response.

From the Mayor of Ponyville.

Celestia's eyes slightly widened as she finished reading, 'This could just be a timberwolf incident or maybe a manticore one. Fluttershy handled the manticore flawlessly, though without anypony's help,' Celestia stood in her room deciding the best course of action for the incident. She could hoof over the problem to her sister and be on her way but Luna was most likely busy now and Celestia didn't like giving her sister more work, 'I'll fly on by to the Everfree and have a look for myself,' Celestia trotted to her balcony and spread her wings, 'It shouldn't take too long hopefully,' Celestia thought as she took off and flew towards the small town of Ponyville.

<><><><><>

"Fluttershy dear! Please open the door! It's been a day since you've come outside!" a purple-maned white pony yelled loudly whilst knocking on the door of Fluttershy's cottage.

No response. Not even from the animals who have mysteriously disappeared.

"Any luck Rares?"

Rarity turned her head and saw an orange earth pony trot up to her, "Unfortunately no, but she took some food I have left at her door earlier this morning when she didn't show up at the spa today," she looked down sadly, "I was worried for the poor dear since she usually doesn't turn down a time at the spa with me."

"Ah tried to get Rainbow but she's dealing with somethin' in Cloudsdale."

"Well at least we've tried," Rarity looked back at the door before turning back, "Have you asked Twilight yet?" she asked.

Applejack grinned, "Why didn't ah think of that?! I'll head on over to Twi's place," she then pointed to the door, "You stay here and help Flutters if ya can."

Rarity nodded, "Will do AJ, and please hurry, the poor dear won't last long in her cottage."

The farmspony nodded and galloped at great speeds towards the massive crystal castle. Rarity watched the orange figure fade and disappear past the hills. She sighed and turned to knock again until she heard the sound of flapping wings.

She turned and saw a tall white alicorn landing a few feet away from her. She noticed that the Princess was not wearing her royal attire. She immediately bowed as the Princess walked towards her.

"Rise my little pony, no need for that today," the white alicorn spoke.

"Princess Celestia! It's a pleasure to meet you again!" Rarity bowed again.

"Please Rarity, no need for such formalities, I am currently taking a vacation."

"Oh, that explains why you aren't wearing your magnificent attire. I would recommend Princess, that you should keep it on wherever you go, you look...plain and unprofessional without it."

"Thank you for your suggestion, but I am curious for why you were yelling loudly, I could hear you from high up in the sky."

Rarity lightly blushed, 'Was I really that loud?' she shook off the thought and looked up at the Princess, "Well you see Princess, my friend here, Fluttershy, for some dreadful reason won't set hoof out of her cottage. I'm beginning to become worried for the poor dear."

"Whats the cause for this?" Celestia asked concerned.

"I think it was something having to do with a dangerous creature in the Everfree. I'm not sure Princess," Rarity replied.

'She must have been the one that encountered the creature,' Celestia thought. If she was the one that saw the thing, there's a high possibility that she won't be coming out of her cottage for awhile, "I will go and search for the creature."

Rarity's eyes widened in horror, "What?! Princess, why would you do such a perilous task?"

"My sister is currently busy running day court and has not gotten news of this incident," the princess looked towards the dark thick forest, "You need somepony to deal with the problem, correct?" Rarity hesitantly nodded, "Then I will go, I can handle a few dangerous creatures."

Rarity looked at the forest then at the white alicorn. She mentally sighed and decided that the Princess could handle this, "Alright Princess, I'll stay here and try to help Fluttershy."

Celestia nodded, she turned towards the forest, spreading her wings and flew low over the forest.

<><><><><>

Celestia had been flying for what felt like hours, 'Some vacation this is,' she sighed heavily. As she flew she saw a large lake, 'Maybe I'll stop and take a short break,' she descended and glided towards the forest floor, being careful to not clip her massive white wings on the very closely packed trees. She exited the darkness of the forest to take a long refreshing drink at the lake but she stopped at the edge seeing something, no, somepony in the water. Her eyes widened in surprise and confusion when she saw what was in the water. Ahead of her were two ponies, one had a dark blue coat and a flowing blue ethereal mane, the other one also had a flowing mane but it was multicolored and it had white coat covered in what she assumed was blood. Celestia cringed at the assumption.

Celestia was more concerned about the ponies that looked exactly like her and her sister, 'This very well could be changelings,' she thought as she watched to two seem to sit in the water and not make any eye contact. Her horn slightly glowed as she casted an eavesdropping spell near the two alicorns. The dark blue alicorn then looked up at the white alicorn, face void of any emotions. Celestia noticed that the dark blue one started to tear up. Celestia didn't know why but she felt pity for the alicorn, even though it wasn't her sister. Hopefully.

Celestia's eyes widened as the dark blue alicorn then sprung up into the air and landed in front of the white one, water splashed everywhere, obstructing Celestia's view for a moment. As the water settled, she saw the dark blue alicorn hugging the white alicorn, the white alicorn seemed to sit there stunned until she started to rub the dark blue alicorn's back, in an attempt to calm her. Celestia wondered what might've caused these two to end up like that. She was startled by a bright cyan flash behind her, Celestia turned her head and saw her sister trotting up to her, "Sister, I've just received a letter say that there's a dangerous creature in the Everfree fooor...? Luna trailed off as she saw the two alicorns hugging in the water.

"Shush, Lulu, I think those are the 'creatures'," Celestia said as she returned her gaze on the two again, "And keep your voice down."

"Sister, I can see that this is a trap, these two are obviously changelings trying to lure you in," Luna said as she walked forward, horn glowing, "I'll deal with them," she was immediately pulled back by her tail.

"No, I've been watching these two for awhile, they haven't done anything harsh and if they were changelings, they would've dropped their disguises already as it requires a significant amount of magical energy to use."

Luna stared at the two, "...You make a good point," she said as she casted her own eavesdropping spell.

The two Royal sisters sat down, covered by the shrubbery and trees as they watched the two. The only thing they could hear is the soft sobbing of the dark blue alicorn. Luna felt bad, it was like seeing herself after her thousand year banishment, running up to her sister and sobbing. Saying that she was sorry for everything and how much she missed her sister.

"I d-don't hate y-you, I-I love you...big sis," the dark alicorn stuttered before burying her head into her sister's chest. The white pony seemed surprised at the words but ignoring it, she wrapped her forelegs and two massive wings around the weeping dark blue alicorn.

Both the Royal alicorn's mouths curled up into a sad smile before Celestia said something, "That confirms it Lulu, I am sure that these two are not changelings."

Luna slowly nodded before remembering something, "Sister, I just forgot, I sent out a few thestral patrols into the Everfree earlier after I received the letter!"

Celestia's face turned to concern, "Then you must go and call off the patrols, these two may seem like innocent ponies, but they are alicorns, most likely very powerful. We don't need them panicking when we greet them."

Luna nodded as she turned and galloped into the forest, seeking a better route around the two ponies. Celestia returned her gaze on the two alicorns who were still hugging in silence. Celestia laid down on her stomach, 'This will be awhile,' she thought as the two separated from their hug, smiling sadly.

<><><><><>

Celestia had casted an invisibility spell when the two started to move deeper into the forest. The white alicorn had picked up what looked to be an L-shaped object and strapped it to her right flank. Strange. When they had moved deeper into the forest away from the lake, Celestia had found what could be their camp. The white alicorn had thrown own some sort of boxy vest and picked up what looked to be a boxy object with a tube sticking out the front then a sharp blade attached to the end. It could've been a strangely made spear but who knows. The white alicorn had gone somewhere to go hunting for food while the dark blue one was playing around with a timberwolf pup. These were a strange trio, Celestia had expected the timberwolf pup to run into the water and attack the two, but they all just ended up playing around. How did they manage to tame a timberwolf? Nopony in Equestria has ever owned a timberwolf before.

Currently, Celestia was once again, hiding in the bushes while the dark blue alicorn was lying on her back, wings splayed, and playing around with the timberwolf pup. She had her hooves vertically while the pup stood on them, happily barking. The dark blue alicorn giggled as the pup jumped and landed on her stomach with an 'oof'.

"Ow, don't do that again Oakley," the wolf gave a whine, Celestia guessed Oakley said 'sorry'. Earlier, the two argued on what they should've named the pup, the white alicorn had wanted 'Scooby' or 'Morning Wood' for some reason, the dark blue alicorn obviously did not like those names so she suggested Oakley, the white one seemed to shrug while the pup jumped around the two, happily barking and so they called him Oakley.

Celestia was jerked from her thoughts as the white alicorn galloped out of the forest, panting heavily. The dark blue alicorn gently pushed Oakley off who whined a little, "Celly? What happened, what'd you do?"

"I...I made a discovery!" 'Celly' said. A little strange that the alicorn that looked exactly like Celestia had a similar name, but she shrugged it off.

"What? What'd you find this time?"

"I f-found a weird medieval castle h...half a mile from here," Celly gasped. Celestia knew this was their old castle they had abandoned after the banishment of Nightmare Moon, "Also I fucking got my pride back! You also got it too!" she grinned happily. Celestia flinched it was like hearing herself cuss.

The dark blue alicorn tilted her head, so did Celestia, "What? What do you mean? I'm pretty sure you're a girl now and you 'checked' last time and I've been one ever since"

"Here lemme show you."

"Wha―" she was cut off as Celly whipped a hoof to the dark blue alicorn's horn and quickly slid it down to the base. The alicorn gave a lust moan as her wings sprung out. Celestia blushed as she watched. The dark blue alicorn forcefully shoved Celly away, "WHAT THE FUCK CELLY?!" she yelled, blushing profusely.

Both Celly and Oakley had a look of slight fear on their faces as they backed up, "Oh shit Oakley, we gotta get outta here!" the wolf barked in agreement before hopping onto Celly's back as she galloped into the forest laughing.

The dark blue alicorn watched the two disappear before shaking her head and laying down and closing her eyes, "Celly needs to learn personal space..." she murmured.

Celestia was still sitting in the bushes with a rosy blush, 'How do these two tolerate each other? Even Lulu and I don't do things like that,' she heard a faint flap of wings behind her as she turned her head.

"Sister, I have called off most of the patrols but one is still missing," Luna noticed Celestia's blush, "Um, are you alright sister? You look like you are burning."

"Uh, yes, I am fine Lulu," Celestia shook her head, trying to get rid of the heat, "But can you not use your magic to call off the last patrol?"

"No, I can not, my guards are mainly for sneaking around to stay hidden and any magical disturbances that appear around them could endanger their mission."

Celestia was about to speak when a few loud claps similar to thunder cracked in the forest.

<><><><><>

Lyna's eyes snapped open as her head whipped in the direction of the sound. She watched as Celly ran out of the forest on her hindlegs, holding both the rifle and Oakley. She dropped off Oakley at Lyna's hooves who wrapped them around the pup.

"What happened Celly?" Lyna asked, concerned and worryingly.

"I got the fucking police on my ass!" Celly yelled as she turned and aimed her weapon towards the forest. Then two gray ponies in light blue armor galloped out of the forest, one had its short sword drawn and the other had a crossbow strapped to its side. The one with the crossbow had some sort of trigger mechanism in his mouth, 'Weird' Celly thought.

"Halt! Drop your weapons immediately and do not move!" one with the sword yelled.

"How about you two turn around and suck each other off!" Celly retorted. The two guards flinched as they looked at each other, not expecting such an answer.

Lyna noticed that Celly had a new addition to her equipment. Lyna recognized it was an 'M84 flashbang' that Celly had taught her awhile back. Celly leaned towards Lyna, "I'm gonna flash em'," she whispered, Lyna nodded as she covered Oakley's eyes with her hooves and tightly shut hers.

"Alright boys! I surrender," Celly reached for the stun grenade on her vest, the pin was hooked onto the vest which made a small click as it was pulled out, the two guards not noticing that the grenade was now armed, "Uh, here's the weapon that can destroy your entire planet!" Celly said as she threw the grenade towards the two and squinted, slightly turning her head, not closing her eyes because she's been flashed enough times from extensive training and her dick friends. Celly was able to recover in about a second or two, faster than most soldiers in the military, of course, there's still the stumbling and stuff but she considered it as an achievement.

The two gray ponies quizzically looked at the cylindrical object as it rolled towards them, "What is―" he was cut off as the object exploded, sending an ear-splitting noise. The two ponies screamed as they tried to rub their eyes, "I'm blind! Help me!"

Celly had the white effects dulled almost immediately but she felt slightly nauseous from the sound, stumbled and fell in front of Lyna, a slight 'thunck' was heard as she suppressed a yelp and a grunt from the pain of the fall. Lyna snapped her eyes open and saw Celly standing up in front of her, "Get on my back!"

Lyna didn't hesitate as she grabbed Oakley with a foreleg and with hopped up with a flap of her wings, she landed on Celly's back who spread her gigantic wings and quickly took off at speeds that could rival a small plane.

<><><><><>

Lyna sat on Celly's back, hugging her neck tightly, Lyna was scared of heights. She could fly a few meters from the ground at slow speeds but Celly was punching the throttle, going at extremely fast speeds. Lyna wondered how Celly learned to fly easily within a day or two, "Um, Celly, could you slow down?"

"Oh, yeah, sorry," Celly said as she slowed down to a glide. Oakley let out a few whimpers.

"Shh, it's okay Oakley, we'll be fine, they're is gone for now," she petted Oakley but he whined some more before looking backward. Lyna followed his gaze as her eyes widened at what she saw: a wooden arrow was jutting from Celly's left thigh, right under her strange sun tattoo, bleeding a trail of crimson as she flew, "WHAT?! Celly, when did you hit?!"

Celly turned her head and saw the arrow, "Uh, I dunno, maybe when I fell," she remembered feeling a lot of pain when falling, which was unusual for such a short fall, maybe the adrenaline dulled the pain. It was most likely still dulling the pain but Celly could feel it wearing off.

"Well, land! I don't want you passing out in midair."

"Not until we're at the old castle, it's just up ahead," Lyna looked forwards and saw the shape of an old gray castle quickly coming into view.

"Alright but hurry," Celly gave a pained nod, the effects of adrenaline fully gone, pain seeping in and clouding her thoughts.

They had reached the castle, it was old and covered in vines and moss and looked like something that came out of Disney. Celly saw a path leading to the entrance of the castle as she descended slowly and landed on it, grunting from the spike of pain in her left thigh. Lyna and Oakley dismounted as Oakley whimpered. Celly ignored the pain as best as she could before walking towards the two massive open doors.

"Stop! Dude, lemme pull that arrow out first!" Lyna yelled as she stood in front of Celly."

Celly stared at her, "Lyna, if you pull this arrow out, I'll bleed to death, right now we have nothing but what I have on me," Celly said calmly, "And everything on me right now won't work as a bandage."

Lyna stood there staring at Celly, 'She's right...' Lyna thought as she sighed and stepped aside, "But please hurry," Lyna said as she turned and galloped towards the castle to find something that might work as a bandage.

Celly smiled as she walked forward, 'She cares too much,' Oakley whimpered as he walked alongside Celly, "I'll be fine Oakley, now get on," she bent down as Oakley jumped on her back. Celly painfully trotted into the castle, the castle was still in a good condition, it had a few holes in the roof and a few fallen pillars but nothing too big. The castle also had a shit ton of books lining the wall, 'You'd expect someone to steal all of these books by now...'

Celly could hear the sound of objects being thrown and pushed aside frantically. Fear crossed her face as the corners of her vision started to darken, "Shiiittt, gotta stay awake..." Celly murmured. Oakley whimpered as Celly collapsed on her side with a loud thud, the sound of a metallic clinking as the rifle landed. Oakley barked loudly as Celly's vision darkened more, seeing Lyna run up to her with a terrified face.

"Stay awake Celly!"

"Celly? Celly?! Wake up!"

"Please don't leave me..."

Author's Note

Alright, this chapter took way longer than it should've, sorry.
Friggin' annoying writing, 'the white alicorn' or 'the dark blue alicorn' multiple times.
Anyway, for those still confused on what Celly and Lyna look like, they're the exact same as Celestia and Luna physically. The only difference is personality and the weapons and vest Celly wears.

Also, I spent assloads of time (two hours) drawing Celly for some odd reason. This was basically what she looked like with her gear.

I suck ass. My horse anatomy isn't the greatest but who cares. I drew a pone.
Also leave a like if possible! Makes me smile and motivates me to write more!
Constructive critism is always welcome!

Coming Home

Adam walked towards the baggage claim wondering what his sister could be doing right now. Is she waiting somewhere in the airport for him? Did she not bother to drive to the airport to greet him? He didn't know the answer to this question.

He had decided to go take a break from the never-ending war over in Afghanistan. Actually, he didn't decide because he was ordered to by the commander but he didn't go against it.

He remembered trying to get a hold of his sister to tell her when he would be coming back home in Texas which wasn't for a few more months. As he tapped the call button, he heard a faint whistling sound and that's when it started to rain hell. Adam felt the ground shake repeatedly as he tried to stand upright stumbling multiple times attempting to make his way to the mobile command center.

"Hello?! Adam, what's going on? Can you hear me?!" a concerned and worried electronic voice came from the phone.

Adam raised his phone to his ear ready to answer but was cut off as a high explosive mortar shell landed before him a few meters away, the blast lifting his feet off the ground and hurling him backward into the left side of a parked humvee knocking him out instantly.

He suddenly woke up inside of an overcrowded hospital discovering that he had been unconscious for two days and somehow only received a broken arm including a few cuts and bruises. He had to stay in the hospital for awhile because he didn't have the energy to lift a rifle. Especially with one arm at the time.

"Major Andromeda, are you alright?" Adam was jerked from his thoughts as he turned his head in the direction of the voice. He looked to his left and saw one of his former squad members. It was Aaron, a short but strong and intelligent Mexican that he met during his boot camp training when he had first arrived. Aaron was the type of guy who used knowledge instead of instinct. But he always lived his life by the book and he was always awkward which sucked but he was fun to have around and make fun of.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine Aaron and no need for formalities Sergeant," he replied

"You looked like you just came from a funeral, I mean you were just standing there starin' at a wall," Aaron smiled which suddenly faded, "Wait, did you just come from a funeral?"

"No, no one died," he answered. "I was just a bit sad that I haven't gotten a chance to speak to my sister after the bombing," Adam sadly replied.

"Cheer up man, I ain't gonna lie but she probably still thinks that you're risking your life in an empty desert," Aaron said, "But you can still head home and surprise the living hell outta her." he reassured.

A smile appeared on Adam's face. "Wow, I never thought of that. I'll think about what to do."

"Anyway, I'm pretty sure that taking the bus will be boring as hell and your sister probably isn't going to show up," Aaron looked at his watch, "So if you'd like I can drive you over to your house," he offered.

Adam thought the kind proposal over, "But don't you have something important to go to? I mean we just arrived here and I mostly expected you to walk off in some other direction."

"Nah, man I ain't got anything better to do, my girlfriend went to go do some lawyer shit and won't be back for at least a month."

"I still wonder how the hell you managed to get a date with a girl let alone one that is a lawyer."

"All I did was be me," Aaron thought his response over, "but more awkward as fuck."

Adam changed the topic, "Anyways, where'd you park your ride because I doubt that you parked here and paid the parking fees."

"I parked somewhere a mile from here in an alleyway so that it didn't get towed away or something," Aaron answered.

Adam groaned, "And you couldn't park anywhere closer?"

"Hey! You probably would've done the same thing," Aaron objected.

"Eh, maybe," Adam stated, "Anyway, let's go get our bags n' shit, get some chow and head out, we're losing daylight," he suggested, "Sound like a plan?"

Aaron agreed, "Sounds good to me. And also its fucking six in the morning," he corrected.

"Alright, let's roll!" ignoring the last statement, Adam turned ecstatically and immediately tripped on his foot and had a romantic relationship with the tiled floor.

<><><><><>

Adam sat in Aaron's pickup truck, holding a napkin to his nose to stop the bleeding from his clumsiness earlier. He looked over to Aaron who was driving and refraining from bursting into laughter. Aaron opened his mouth to say something but was immediately cut off by an angry Adam.

"Say something about this to Trevor and I'll chop off your dick and shove it up your ass," Adam growled.

"Woah, woah dude," Aaron held up a hand and scooted left, "I ain't gonna say anything to anyone," Aaron said then looked at him quizzically, "And why the hell would I tell Trevor? He's crazy as fuck," he questioned.

"Tell him and I'll never hear the end of it from him," Adam deadpanned.

Adam thought about the time he had a misfire with a Javelin where it fired but didn't ignite and landed a few meters in front of him. Trevor was there to witness the misfire and immediately burst into laughter saying how Adam couldn't even fire a Javelin then proceeded to tell the entire army about Adams mishap. This really annoyed him so he ignored Trevor, but Trevor just kept on reminding over and over which really got on his nerves until a year later and he just forgot about the incident just like that.

"Alright, I won't say anything," Aaron answered before cautiously moving back into the comfort of his seat, not taking any chances in case Adam legit pulled a knife out to circumcise him.

Aaron remembered when Adam literally almost cut off the dick of a captured enemy soldier just because he had ruined his battle worn gun which was an M4 that Adam had grown very attached to. Aaron and the rest of the squad, including Trevor which was odd because normally he usually didn't do jack shit, managed to calm Adam down and drag him away from the prisoner before something bad would happen. And on that day, everyone knew not to mess with Adam's M4, including Trevor.

Adam watched the cars drive by as he thought, 'Will she even want to live with me again? Does she still care? Well, she wasn't at the airport so she probably didn't. Or was she? Argh! This hurts my brain.'

Aaron noticed Adam's pained expression, "Hey, dude, I know that you're worried about seeing your sis but trust me, she'll be happy to see you," he patted his shoulder.

Adam was dumbfounded by the fact that Aaron could probably read his mind. He rapidly regained his senses, "Thanks, I needed that."

"No probs, I mean, we gotta look after our buddies, right?"

"Yup...especially Trevor," Adam chuckled.

"Especially Trevor," Aaron repeated whilst smiling and shaking his head, thinking about the copious number of times the squad had assisted Trevor and his mischievous acts.

"Anyway, how should I surprise her?" he asked looking at Aaron for suggestions.

"I dunno, you should try―" Aaron noticed a wolfish grin creep up on Adam's face, "―I swear to god if you try doing―"

<><><><><>

"I can't believe you're doing this." Aaron glared at Adam, "She ain't gonna care for you after that!"

"Quit your whining dude, it's a great plan!" retorted Adam.

"Argh! Whatever," Aaron said frustrated because Adam was worried about everything leading to this point and now he was doing something that would probably get him arrested, "Just, once you're done, and not in the backseat of a police cruiser, ask her if she'd like to come over to my house, I'd like to meet her."

Adam remembered that the two have never met at all and Adam had always rambled on about his sister's accomplishments and how she'd probably wanted to meet all of them. Except for Trevor though, he'd most likely try to hit on her.

"Sure, I'll ask her," he opened the door while Aaron was fumbling with the radio. Adam walked to the rear of the pickup and pulled out his U.S. military-grade backpack and the hard case containing his trusty M4 that he somehow transported from Afghanistan to Texas. "Hey, you got a ski mask or something?" he called.

"Yeah," Aaron replied back whilst reaching into the glove box, pulling out the mask, and tossing it to him.

He waved at Aaron as he drove off, probably to go get drunk, alone, in his house. Adam quietly walked to the front of the house and dropped off his luggage at the front door so he could retrieve it later. Slipped on the ski mask and began his mission.

Adam quietly snuck around the right side of the house and noticed an open window, the lights shining through illuminating the grass, 'Weird,' he thought, 'Usually she keeps the windows closed, especially at one in the morning,' he pushed the thoughts away as he heard footsteps from inside. He laid down in the prone position and kept his distance as the sound got closer to the window, then two small hands pulled it shut and walked away. He heard the sound of a light switch flicking and suddenly total darkness. With only the bright light of the moon to guide him, he slowly made his way towards the window.

He slowly pushed the window open, being cautious as it could disrupt his plans. Once it was open far enough for him to slip in, he crawled through, not making a single sound. 'Damn, I'm doing pretty good,' he thought, 'Haven't done this since tenth grade.'

Distracted by his thoughts, he tripped, again, but caught himself before anything major happening with only the small faint thud of his foot balancing him, 'Thank god,' he thought while his heart was beating as if it could burst from his chest any moment. 'Too much adrenaline, no wonder why I never volunteered for stealth missions.'

Instantly the door flew open with great force behind him, knocking him down. The lights came on which blinded him which made his situation worse. He opened his mouth to surrender in case it was his sister but was cut off by something hard smashing against his face and the mask violently being ripped off.

"Adam? What the hell?!" his feminine attacker yelled.

Adam sat upright whilst rubbing his face with both hands, "Heeyy Lyna, I'm back...?" he attempted to force a smile as he pulled one of his hands away. Even though his face felt like it was burned off my the exhaust of an F-35.

She dropped her improvised weapon, which was a keyboard, dropped to her knees, and hugged Adam tightly.

"Argh...can't...breathe...face...hurt," he gasped.

She pulled back, "What the hell were you thinking?! I could've killed you!" she almost yelled. Angry and on the verge of tears since she had almost ended her brother's life right here in his house.

"Well...you didn't?" he gave a low chuckle, "But hey, at least the training I gave you before I left paid off," Adam said groggily grinning.

She grinned back with watering eyes, giving a light punch to the shoulder, and hugging him again. This time not strangling him. Adam returned the gesture with both arms now that his face stopped hurting, but it still felt like ass.

Lyna pulled back a bit, "Are you hurt Adam? I mean, I just smashed a keyboard in your face and well, it looks like something else got smashed on your nose earlier," she worryingly asked.

"I tripped earlier at the airport, got a nosebleed, and I should just have a black eye from where you smashed my face, but above all else, I'm fine sis."

He wiped any tears she had with his sleeve and stood up, "Anyways, one of my squadmates asked if you'd like to come over and meet him, he really wants to meet you." he offered a hand.

"Whats his name? You sound like you really want me to meet him," she said whilst grabbing Adam's hand and being pulled upright.

"Aaron, and he's a pretty cool guy, he's Mexican, he's awkward, and he's pretty nerdy," Adam said.

"He sounds pretty nice, anyway, we should wait til' tomorrow, though, it's two in the morning," she informed him.

"And miss out on meeting one of my awesome awkward friends whose probably getting shitfaced right now? Hell to the no," he pointed towards the bathroom, "Go get ready, you look like a wreck, we head out in twenty." Lyna looked at him quizzically.

"Twenty minutes," Adam forgot that she wasn't familiar with military acronyms.

She groaned because it was way too friggin early and the fact that Adam just called her ugly.

She sighed, "Alright," she then glared at him, "Call me a wreck again and I'll make you regret it," she deadpanned.

"But it's true, you look like the rear-end of a donkey," Adam casually stated, crossing his arms and held his chin high, "You also broke my keyboard so this evens it out."

Lyna flipped him off and turned toward the bathroom.

<><><><><>

"I hate this," Lyna crossed her arms and pouted. She didn't like shooting guns of any sort, that's why she chose to use a keyboard instead of the M9 locked away in the safe. Adam had suggested going to a shooting range with his squadmate to practice her skills, he had said that she was becoming 'rusty' and needs to practice more. She disagreed multiple times and now she's sitting in a truck that has an M4 that Lyna had no clue where Adam had gotten it from and the M9 from the safe from earlier in the back.

Lyna was sitting in the pickup truck Adam had bought for her a couple years ago. She wasn't really fond of trucks because they were too big and bulky for her and hard to drive, even though she hasn't crashed at all while driving it. It just wasn't her type. But she drove it anyway since Adam had bought it for her. Adam was driving it right now which made her feel a lot more safe since he knew more about trucks than she did and he had probably drove bigger things in the military.

Lyna broke the silence, "So what happened when you tried calling me that one time a few months ago?" she questioned, "I was really worried because you didn't call back at all."

Adam's expressionless face shortly changed to a dark sad look, "I tried to get ahold of you that time but our base got bombed to smithereens and I got knocked out," Adam turned to look at her, she was staring at him, her face was displaying both horror and worry.

Before she could ramble about his well-being, he held up a hand, "I wasn't injured badly," she sighed in relief, "But I broke my arm," she then stared at him again with a face saying 'the fuck man'.

Lyna shook her head, "I'm kinda surprised that you healed that fast, I mean your arms look fine," she said while observing his muscular arms that had a few scars.

Adam looked over to her, "Hey, I'm still alive right?" she nodded, "So stop worrying, I can take a few hits, it takes a lot more to bring this beast down," Adam chuckled and flexed his right arm.

She giggled, "Yeah, sure," she sadly smiled which faded to a dark frown, "I just don't want you ending up like dad."

Adam smiled sweetly at her, "He was just protecting the country, in other words, he was protecting us both,"

"I suppose so," she looked straight ahead, her eyes going wide and pupils shrinking in fear, "LOOKOUT!"

Adam whipped his head straight and saw something that made his pupils shrink to the size of pins. A semi truck, almost big as their truck, was in front of them, blaring it's loud horns, showing no signs of stopping and heading straight for them. Adam jerked his steering wheel to the right instantaneously and watched as the traffic barriers came into view. They both screamed as they were violently jerked forward and felt the airbags burst forward attempting to cushion their impact.

<><><><><>

He opened his eyes, pushed the light switch on the roof which flickered to life, and saw what was before him, blood had covered everything in front of him, the truck was hanging by a thread, only being held by the traffic barriers, wanting to fall down into the dark, bottomless abyss in front of him. He looked to his right seeing his sister who was bleeding rapidly from a gash on her forehead, covering her face with a dark crimson. He reached over cautiously to wake her then stopped when he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and when the truck started to make metallic creaking sounds. The sounds jerked her awake, she lifted her head and looked around, her eyes shrinking when she realized their situation. Her eyes widened even more as she looked at Adam's mid-section.

Adam looked down towards to see what was scaring her, protruding from where his left kidney should be is a jagged piece of metal covered in blood, jutting from his abdomen and was bleeding profusely, 'Probably the adrenaline dulling the pain,' he thought, 'For now.'

"Ah, shit," Adam groaned whilst grabbing the steering wheel and the piece of metal that has impaled him, "T-this is my fault, I s-should've been watching the r-road," he painfully said.

Lyna held a hand up to her forehead to stop the bleeding, "T-this isn't your fault, it was probably mine, I asked you a q-question which distracted you from driving," she said shamefully, wiping away blood on her face, "And now you're probably g-g-gonna...d-di," she hiccupped and started to tear up.

"H-hey now, don't cry, dad might call you a chicken," he chuckled and coughed violently, which sent extreme amounts of pain into him, "I-it's both our faults, we were both d-distracted anyway," he gave a forced reassuring smile even though he was in the most pain of his life, and was probably going to bleed the death soon.

She returned the gesture, wiping away a few tears along with blood, "I g-guess it is," she looked straight ahead at the darkness below, "N-now what?"

Before Adam could answer, the truck jerked forward violently, Adam screamed in pain, Lyna stayed as motionless as possible, fearing for her life, the metallic creaking sounds more prominent, they both knew the end was near.

Adam looked at Lyna who was scared looking back at him expecting a response, "I want you to know that I l-love you Lyna and whatever happens nothing will change that―" he coughed again but more violently, "―even t-though earlier you smashed my face with a keyboard."

Lyna gave a nervous chuckle, "I love y-you too Adam, but I-I'm scared," she looked straight ahead.

"Don't be, face death, look at him in the eyes," Adam thought his response over, "If he has eyes of course, call him a faggot, and make him your bitch, alright, c-can you do that?"

She turned her head and nodded while smiling, "I'll try."

They both grabbed something as the truck violent shifted again, this time, not stopping, the creaking noises became louder. Adam grunting and groaning as the piece of metal shifted constantly inside of him, cutting up his intestines and flesh.

Adam looked quickly at Lyna who looked back, "You ready to m-meet mom and dad?" she nodded, not showing any signs of the fear that was once plaguing her mind, he smiled and whispered, "That's my sister."

With one final ear-splitting metallic creak, the truck was released plummetting towards the abyss below. They both closed their eyes as the darkness enveloped them and they knew no more.

<><><><><>

'Fuck,' Celestia thought, 'I should've laid off the cakes for a while,' she held a hoof to her forehead to steady herself.

"Are you alright princess?"

Princess Celestia turned her head and looked at her guard, "I'm fine, thank you, though."

The solar guard nodded, bowed and went back to staring straight head.

The doors on her left were pushed open and out came a sleepy and peeved Princess Luna.

"Sister, are you alright?" Celestia asked, a little concerned for her sister's well-being.

"Yes, yes, dear sister, I just have a minor headache. Nothing too serious, you have nothing to worry about," Luna reassured, "I'm heading to the kitchen to get something to eat."

"Alright," Celestia said, easing a bit, 'Strange,' she thought, 'Maybe it was just a coincidence.'

What the powerful nation of Equestria did not know was that two powerful beings, stronger than both the Princesses of the Sun and Moon, have just been ripped from their world and was now somewhere on Equus.

Author's Note

Hello, everyone! Celestial here! I just finished my very first chapter and I'm actually pretty surprised that I reached 3,919 words! And just for the introduction too!
So since this is actually my very first story and very first chapter being uploaded, I'd like any constructive criticism that you guys can give me so I can improve in the next chapter.
There will be more ponies in the next chapter, I assure you.
And anyone wondering where that trucker guy went, well, some people just don't have souls.
But for now, I'm gonna go do life or something. And celebrate too.
