I went in my room, and saw a letter lying on my desk.

"Agent Silicon, you are one of the 10,000 agents chosen to test our new device that enables the user to jump through universes at will. Please report immediately to Senator Zephiroth for further instructions. -Signed, Officer David." I dropped the letter given to me and sighed.

I sighed, and went back out again, to Zephiroth's office, not without meeting some of my friends. "Hey, Silicon! How's it feel like to get chosen for this?" My co-worker, Zircon, was standing next to the door.

"Anxious... excited, go figure. Not everyone gets chosen for these sort of things, actually." I went inside, and I met a short, humanoid figure with green eyes sporting a black tux for some apparent reason.

"Hello, Silicon."

"Hello, sir Zephiroth." I took a seat. "I was told to go to yo-"

"Yes." He stood up, went to a drawer and took a piece of paper, sat down and passed it to me. "I assume you already know why you're here?" I nodded. "You are chosen to test a new prototype watch, called the Quantum." He took a white watch-like device. "Go to the firing range at 1500." I saluted and got out.

I went to the armory, took a P1-028 Spectre, a HCM Combat Knife, and wore my uniform and an Actinum Carbide Tactical Vest. I went to the firing range, and saw a group of agents standing in attention. "Agent Silicon, get in here!"

I went to the troop and stood in attention. "Alright gentlemen! We are going to test the Quantum. Input coordinates to Sector Esper, Sierra Universe, Fourth Dimension, 7th Timeline. Date, August 18, 2102. 27.46784°N 42.13492°W. You will land in Castle Paris, where an officer will be there waiting for you." Everyone looked worried. "Don't worry, you're going to appear at a controlled planet, completely untouched by the Royal Guard." We looked at our watches. "Agents! Calibrate your Quantums!"

I took a deep breath, looked at the watch, calibrated it and waited for the command.

"Go-"

A loud bang pierced the air, as smoke came from the west portion of the Castle.

"Holy shit!"

The West Watchtower exploded, and multiple Agents came to assess the situation. I looked at the entrance, and I saw Celestia standing there, squads of SpecOps Agents trying to get a shot at her. "Shit! Go, go, go!" Our officer shouted at us before looking back at Celestia. "Diarch One has been sighted infiltrating the West Wall, I repeat, Diarch One has been sighted on the West Wall. All available agents are to redirect there and support the defensive!" He shouted at his radio.

She blasted an agent with her horn. "Resistance is futile! I will destroy every single one of yo-" She yelped as a massive 20x49mm .80 caliber AP round was shot at her. She looked at where the shell came from, it was our commanding officer, manning a MLWS-AP Turret. "Fool! You dare attack me?" Her horn lit up, charging up for a blast. "You shall pa-" She flinched again as another round struck her shield.

"How much? Do you accept cash or credit?" The officer shouted back at her, before shooting her once more. We were holding off pretty nicely, Agents and Anti Air turrets were ripping pegasi apart, while Shock Troopers were murdering unicorns and earth ponies on the ground.

"ENOUGH!" A massive shockwave was discharged by her horn, knocking all of us back. "I have designed a special concoction that would change you into ponies.. My perfect little ponies." She formed a twisted smile before disappearing into a bright light.

"Did we win?" Another agent beside me asked, I just shrugged.

"Everyone!" The speakers blared out. "We are now instigating HEXCON DEF2!" Everyone ran to the nearest armories, and some manned the available MLWS. "Proceed to the nearest armory to re-arm, and defend this motherfucking base with your life!" Seconds later, an army of pegasi flew over us, and dropped canisters of what seemed to be purple liquid.

"Take cover!" An agent shouted, before going under a table. I dove to the nearest open room, and took shelter. I sat down, breathing heavily. I took a glance on what's happening outside, and I saw agents coated in the liquid, before painfully morphing into what seems to be a pony. My eyes widened. The newly-morphed ponies formed a wide smile, that Cheshire Cat would be proud, before turning their heads to me.

"Why the hell does it always have to be me?" I breathed heavily. I ran towards the weapon rack, this was an armory, after all. I took a MH-A4 Omen out of the rack, cocked it, and aimed at the oncoming ponies. Shells fell down on my feet as I continually fired at them, 9x19 HE rounds did a great job, as they were silenced before I even emptied the 31 round mag.

I was then tackled by another one behind me. "Hello!" she shouted. We struggled for a bit, she was too damn heavy for me to knock off. After a few seconds, she forcefully dragged me out of the towards a puddle of the stange liquid. I repeatedly jabbed her jaw, but she was unfazed. I looked around me, and I saw more coming close to us.

"Castle Paris is overrun!" I heard a voice boom out from the speakers. "Everyone who's still alive, evacuate!" I heard clicking sounds from the speakers. "I am now activating emergency procedures! Everyone, get out now!" From the speakers, I heard a banging sound. "Come out, accept the Sun Goddess' gift!" He breathed loudly. "Long Live the Hexagon!"

Sirens blared out from every part of the Castle. Chimera Defense Robots were now targeting everyone on sight.

I felt a shockwave. I looked up to the control tower, only to see it blown off. All doors were locked down, all entrances and exits were blocked. The shield dome was re-activated, and a countdown started. "Ten seconds until self-destruction." I was now nearing the puddle, as a last resort, I activated my Quantum, and hoped for the best.

I opened my eyes, and I saw the pony still conscious, but barely standing. I was weak, but I used my remaining strength to get on top of the pony. My left hand grabbed her neck, choking her, while my right continually hit her. She was struggling, and I could've sworn her eye color turned brown for a second, before reverting to aqua-blue.

She's still there.

I took the Omen lying on the ground, aimed it at her head. "I'm sorry for this." I pulled the trigger, and bits of flesh, brain, and blood splattered across the ground.

I holstered the Omen back, and rested on the ground. "Oh sweet Celestia!" I heard a voice. I closed my eyes for a bit. My heart is beating wild, struggling to push blood to my limbs.

I slowly opened my eyes. I felt weak, I couldn't even lift my arm. My vision was hazy. Everything was bright, birds and critters were everywhere. The ground feels soft... Green grass...

"...ver here! Look! What is tha..." I slowly drifted back to sleep.

Once again, my eyes opened, my vision still blurry, I saw two.. five... ten figures wearing gold armor, one... white figure and one blue figure, their hair flowing down like a majestic river.

I was lifted off the ground by two armor wearing figures. I was placed on a chariot, with two more figures on it. "Don't worry." I looked at the one on my left, I slowly formed a weak smile as my vision slowly cleared. "You're safe here with us." It was a pegasus, donning gold armor and a spear. My smile disappeared when I realized my situation.

I was in Equestria.

I let my consciousness drift me back to sleep.

I woke up in an interrogation room. I was only wearing my uniform, and nothing else. My hands were chained. The chain was long, allowing me to reach my pants with ease, but restricted me from going too far. I looked around, it was empty. The only things in the room was two chairs, and a table. I panicked, searching the room frantically for my equipment. I quickly looked at the door as someone entered the room.

"Ah, you're finally awake!" He was a gray coated unicorn, wearing a lab coat and holding a clipboard. He went to the seat opposite to me, and placed his clipboard on the table. "You may call me as Greycoat." How nice. "I'm going to be the one asking questions here, so please, answer each question truthfully. If you attempt to lie to me, my horn will turn red." I remained quiet. "Now, first question, what's your name?"

"Agent Silicon." His horn lit up. He glared at me.

"I thought we had established this. No lying of any kind, I want you to answer my question truthfully-" I told him to stop.

"Look at my uniform." I pointed at my tag, which also said 'Agent Silicon'.

"Hm." He took a close look at it, before looking at his horn. "Must've misread the spell." He tapped his horn, which lit up for a sec. "Anyways, second question. Why, and how did you go here?"

"Believe me, I have no intentions on going here." I told him.

"Well then." He took some pictures on his clipboard, all showing all angles on me asleep in a small crater. "How can you explain this?"

I looked at the pictures, and back to him. "I have no idea." I formed a small smile, feigning innocence.

His horn lit up, and he looked at me. "Please, no need to lie to us." He took back the pictures. "We're all friends here."

"Are we?" I asked, with one brow raised up.

He stood there, and walked towards the door. "Be right back." He left the room and closed the door.

I looked at the table. "Wood, 2 centimetres thick." I took a look at my chains. "Iron.." I smiled. I pulled on my chains, and with only one try, the chains were disconnected from the table. I swung the long chains around. "Hard enough to be a weapon.." I swung the chains to the table, breaking the table in half. "Heavy enough to kill."

Not a moment later, the same stallion entered. "I heard a noise, is everything alrigh-" I swung the chain to him, hitting the head, and knocking him out.

I went out the room, and I saw myself in a hallway, my room was only one of the tens of rooms infront of me. "How the hell do I get out of here?" I sprinted towards a random door. I took a glance at the sign, and it only showed me symbols.

I went inside, and I saw two unicorns. One was holding the Spectre and the Omen, the Quantum inside a glass cage, my vest was being examined, and next to it, a pile of broken weapons were piled up. "Hey!" They looked at me as I swung the chains to them, knocking them both out. I took my knife and cut the shackles off my arms. I took my vest, my gun and the Quantum, and went outside.

I went out, but as I stepped out the room, a guard noticed me. "You there! Hal-" I shot him, the report of the gun was silenced by the integrated suppressor, but the sound still echoed on the quiet halls. He screamed as he held his bleeding hoof. I ran towards the opposite direction and I went left. Doctors were shocked as I appeared, so I ran past them. I looked back, the doctors were still frozen in place, so I continued running.

As I looked back, a squad of guards were dispatched, blocking the entrance, their spears pointed at me. "Halt in the name of the Princes-" He went down as I shot him at his head, his mouth ajar. The guards were startled by the whiz of the bullet, but they recovered, and charged at me. I continually open fired at them, until one got too close to me.

He thrusted his spear to my chest, but was stopped by the vest. I took hold of the spear and snapped it in half. The guard looked at me and smiled anxiously. I took hold of him, and used him to shield myself of another spear, he was impaled at the neck. I dropped him and continued firing at the guards. Of the 20 guards that once stood infront of me, four remained. The four remaining guards were scared as fuck right now, one even pissed himself, so I stopped shooting.

It was not long after that Princess Celestia appeared behind the guards. The four remaining guards noticed her and suddenly went behind her. "You!" She shouted.

"Well, well. Princess Celestia." She was shocked as I said her name. "It's been a long while." She looked confused.

"Please, stop hurting my little ponies." I looked at the guards behind her, clutching at her like a baby to a mother. "What have we ever done to you for us to deserve this?"

I looked up. "Your kind has done so much to us." A tear flowed down on my cheek. "You have destroyed cities, killed thousands. You have caused destruction to our world, and you.." I exhaled deeply. "Now you come to us and use a newly developed potion to turn us all. Shame on you." She looked confused. "You will never take me, or my people." I held the gun to my head. Her look of confusion turned into shock. "It's better to die a free man than to live as a slave." I saw her horn glow, so I put my finger on the trigger.

"We are not here to hurt you." She slowly spoke. "Drop your weapon and please, let us help you."

"Goodbye, Celestia." I took a deep breath.

"No!" She shouted.

A flash of light blinded the guards, and I blacked out.
