3 Brothers on Equus
13- Fight or Flight
Previous ChapterNext Chapter(Year:2063 Morning, Earth- Scorch Lands, 1st person- Thirteen Nine)
It has been three years, three years and we still haven't made it back. We have had a lot of casualties and wounded, thank God that they left us broken vehicles that still moved for the wounded and for supplies. We have gathered most of us in a big group, but there are still some out there that can beat the odds. Some of them are still alive, we don't know that, we have to believe that, most of us are starting to lose hope. In fact some of us just started to fight each other, there has been thirteen deaths and One is saying that it must be one f the side effects of the serum or stress. When one of us laid in front of one of the tires, One and some others tried to cheer the others by saying it was going to be okay and that we were almost there.
Still had two years of walking
(Present- Afternoon, Canterlot Gardens, 3rd person- Inquisitor)
They were completely surrounded, by squads of unprepared guards and two immortal beings of unknown power, luckily for the ATLs, they were surrounding them, that meant that they could fire in any direction. And the guards didn't know their power and what they could do as they advanced.
".....Mark." and the two ATLs charged forward, shocking the guards as they got mauled by the Inquisitor's sword and knife combo while Arrow's dual katanas, both of which and their wielders became a blur as they danced their all to familiar song. Even the princesses were shocked a little at their speed until Celestia summoned her golden greatswords as Luna summoned dual diamond rapiers just as Arrow ran up and cashed blades with her a the Inquisitor did the same with Luna.
"Why are you doing this?!"
"Doing what?!"
"Attacking our Nephew!"
"HE ATTACKED U-"
"Die, YOU MOTHER BUCKER!!!" Blueblood yelled as he came running up with a crossbow and shot it at the Inquisitor's head. The Inquisitor raised his arm and activated his arm shield, giving Luna an opening to cut through his armor and through is right elbow until her sword shattered as he dropped his own.
"Thanks, Nephew!" As she continued to fight, only to start losing ground to his one arm with a knife.
"I've been fighting for longer than you've been around." She was slowly losing ground until she saw his sword, using her magic to grab and pull the sword into her hand. Then she started to dual wield the swords, pushing him back inch by inch until he was thrown back by the guards as they surrounded him.
"Arrow!" He called to his brother who kicked Celestia back and jet jumped over the guards until one of his boot's jets got hit, tearing it off as he rolled next to his brother as the guards and the Princesses surrounded them with smug looks as Arrow stood with the Inquisitors good arm on his shoulders. Suddenly the two local royals stopped and looked at each other thinking the same thing.
'Too easy.' And true to their thoughts a black dropship arrived with the gun pointed at them as it lowered.
[I thought you might want to leave this, palace of the dammed.] said a familiar voice over the speakers
The two ATLs climbed in the ship with Arrow manning the turret as it turned and flew away. Celestia turned to the pegasi guard captain,
"Get the royal chariot ready and have squads advance on them, kill if necessary." The guards all flinched at that, but still followed their orders as a sea of pegesi flew up and followed the ship.
(Few minutes earlier, 3rd person- Talon)
Talon was on the bridge accessing the ships data systems until the engines rumbled to life and Logos appeared on the nearest operational console next to him.
"Tell him I'm already there, and prep a dropship."
"Stun rounds?"
"Point taken, is the ship damaged from the fall?"
"I'll try." He commented as he climbed inside the cockpit and strapped himself in.
"Thanks Logos, be right back, (sees the Inquisitor's icon flash) and prepare the med-bay."
"I thought you might want to leave this, palace of the dammed."
Once his two brothers got in, he lifted off in a 180 tailspin and flew full thrust as he closed the doors.
"What the hell happened out there?"
"A misunderstanding, that' al-"
Ding
"..."
Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding.
Talon then pulled the Inquisitor into the co- seat and lowered the speed so the doors could open.
"We got inbound!"
"HOW! We just left, no way they caught up with us."
"Pegasi mate. Come on, we have to defend the engines!"
"One sec, need to finish something here."
"Fine, get up there when you're done." He then climbed out the door and pulled himself onto the top of the plane as the pegasi came up. Just as he turned around, he had his helmet drop-kicked as the squadron captain dropped down with five of his flyers, Talon raised his fists, "Alright, lets dance." Except the squadron captain stepped forward,
"You are to surrender and submit to the Equestrian air force for attempts of attempted assassination on Prince Blueblood... whom has raised a bounty for who brings him the ship and the heads of you and your brothers."
"...So you're bribed?"
"You say bribery, I say a bigger pay check."
"And I would say watch your six."
"Wha-"

The two rear pilots had their necks suddenly snapped by a shimmer of light that vanished right as one of their blades flew through right where it was. While that was happening, Talon rushed forward with his talon knife drawn in his right as he stabbed the captain and sucker punched the other with his left and twirled around, blocked the sword swing of one and jumped back as the second missed him. Ending up hitting his partner and the last one's legs buckling by Talon's signature knife going through his collar bone and flicking up, throwing him off the ship. Talon scanned for any surviving and found one mare knocked out right when Arrow was about to stab her.
"Arrow, wait (Blade stops a mere centimeter from the mare's neck) we need her for info. After that, we either kill her or hostage."
"Good thin-... do you hear that?"
VRRRRROOOOMMMM. Just as what looked like to be three 'Republic P-47 Thunderbolt's with a blue and yellow paint job flew by, the lead one was yellow as it's pilot pulled out a radio.
[This is the Equestrian Royal Air force, the Wonderbolts, surrender now and land or we will be forced to open fire.]
"Arrow, get inside the ship and man the back turret." Arrow turns and starts to climb down "And tell the Inquisitor to make this bird go up to its breaking point, oh get the mare inside!" Talon continues to walk to the middle of the ship and pull out his heavy rifle and let loose his reply, scattering the Wonderbolts.
[All right, lets show these aliens what the Wonderbolts are made of!]
[Oooyah] The planes turned around and flew towards the back of the ship seeing Talon do a two fingered salute.
[Break off, break of-] Just then the back of the ship opened fire as a hailstorm of bullets tore through the one plane that didn't pull away fast enough, luckily the pilot ejected as soon as his plane got shredded. The two others took another run on the left side only for Talon to open fire aiming for the engine, but the plane had some sort of shielding, before Talon could think of it, the planes unleashed their magic bolt fury, draining Talon's shields to 25% before he raised his shield.
"Shit! Arrow, deploy the missiles, (planes turn around) Do it NOW!"
[Deploying missiles, and ask a little nicer dear brother.] POOF POOF and the missiles flew and hit the one plane, again pilot ejected. Leaving Talon with the pack leader.
"Little closer, little closer, riight bout... now!" He then proceeded to jump up and activate his boot's jets for a bit more height right as he hit the plane's wing. As he looked up with his visors blue light active, he saw the pilot was shocked as he started to pound on the ship, killing it's shields. When the shields went red the pilot recovered and turned the plane around upside down, looking over smiling, but to be shocked again as Talon broke the glass and ejected the pilot as they were over his ship. They both rolled onto the ship as the pilots plane crashed into the ground, Talon looked to the crashed plane and back to the pilot as she pulled out what looked to be a small rod that had a small battery on the end.
"What are you going to do with that? Throw it at m-" The pilot pointed it at him and fired a large bolt, his shields went to 34% to 13%. Talon saw this and got into a fighting stance with one pistol.
"Alright, game on." The pilot raised the apparent pistol and Talon shot it out of it's hand, then it pulled a blue knife as Talon put his pistol back. "Really, a pocket kni- (Blade starts to glow with yellow electricity) ...oh, I see." The pilot motioned him to run at it and Talon did, with his knife and swung it up just as the pilot flew back with orange wings, then it flew forward and hit Talon in the lung through his armor and shields. "(Grunts) The hell?!" Talon then pulls his knife only for the pilot to duck as the knife hit the pressure valve on the helmet and lossen it, making it fall off. When the pilot stood up her flame like hair stood up as she stared at the injured ATL with a smug and impressed expression.
"Wow, you are something! No one has ever gotten past getting my plane down, but you, you got all the way to disarming my handheld caster and taking my knife? That's unheard of... Oh and I'm Spitfire, captain of the Wonderbolts. (Talon gets back up) Come on man! you're injured, a punctured and electrified lung can stop anypony!"
"Hahaha, that's where you're wrong..." He then gets into a fighting stance with the knife still in him.
"... I'm no pony."
