Rampage: Equestria's Punishment
The Hijack
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI woke up to the screeching sound of the trains' brakes on the tracks as I felt the train start to slow down. I brought my hands up to my face to rubthe sleep I had out of my eyes and looked out the window, and sure enough here we were. Manehattan, the city that had the infamous street, Wall Street, I didn't worry about it all too much as I would deal with that place soon enough. I got up and followed the rest of the passengers out of the train, I got out of the door and looked around for the guy that had my bag. I looked around until I found the guy behind the group of people waiting for their family/friends, etc. I walked past them and met up with the dude, "you got my stuff". He told me it was behind the dumpster behind him. "After you man". He walked back and grabbed it and handed it to me.
"Have a nice day", he told me. I want finished yet though, I had to make sure all the stuff I brought was still in the bag.
"Wait up, we're not done here", I called out. I drew my finger back and forth signaling him to come back here. "I need to check and see if everything is here". As soon as he was in a good distance for me chase if he was going to take off I turned around unzipped my bag and quickly but thoroughly searched through it. After I concluded that everything was here, I zipped back up and stuck out my hand. "Pleasure doing business with you". He took it and we shook, I nodded and said goodbye. I walked down the other way and went back to the station grounds. I went into the sitting room on the inside and went for the map. I gazed at it for a good few minutes, making sure to remember the routes I'll need to take on my to the radio station.
I left and kept walking for about a good thirty minutes and saw a sign that read, 'MH9', the news station's name. "There she is", I muttered. I walked to the alley and made absolutely sure no-one was around, not a soul in sight, so I went into building through a back doors down found the janitor's closet. I got in, locked it, and unzipped my duffel bag and brought out the tactical clothes and gear and suited up. Once those were on I started to put each piece of armor on its' correct places. I finished it off by putting in the helmet, turning on the voice changer, and the fake tail. I holstered both submachine guns and opened the door to head up. I saw a bunch of people around me now staring at me and were started to run away. They were NOT going to warn everyone else what exactly is going on.
I started firing at all of the ponies that started to try to leave the building in any way and those who didn't smartened up and stayed where they stood. I paused to reload both guns and pointed at them to make sure they didn't try that again. About five out of twelve remained. "Alright now, everyone just relax, we're going to take a little upstairs okay guys". They all nodded frantically. "Alright then, everyone in the fucking elevator", I yelled. They all got in without any resistance and I got in pointing my guns at them, "if anyone tries ANYTHING, I'll fucking kill you, if you RUN, I'll fucking kill you, and if you try to call the guards", I paused for dramatic effect. "I'll not only kill you, but I'll find your Goddamn families". They all stayed silent, obviously now they got the point.
We waited for what was in my opinion the longest elevator ride in the history of all of these slow fuckers put together, everything was deadly quiet. The only sounds from anyone was heavy breathing and quiet sobs. Finally the doors began to open slowly and I quickly asked, "where exactly is the anchor". They told me they didn't exactly know where he was, but that he was somewhere in the back corners of the floor, that was his office they said. The doors were all the way opened and I pointed my guns at the room for them to get a move on. They went ahead of me to lessen suspicion, I came out last with my guns pointing all around the room, "LADIES and GENTLEMEN, WELCOME to the attraction of Las Pegasus, I can catch bullets, and I will elevate you and me to a whole new LEVEL"!!! Everyone else began to panic and ran everywhere like roaches when you shine a light on them.
Anyone that ran in any direction that led to the exit were shot dead, point blank. This went on for about a good five minutes, by then, there were people in the rooms, trying to make an effort to hide away from me, those that hasn't been able to hide were piles of meat on the floor. "Mister Anchorman", I sang out loudly across the room. "Where are you". I kept on going room to room getting people to collect themselves by the center of the room. I made my way into the only other room I haven't searched yet. I kicked down the door and went in, it seemed empty, save for one table. I didn't believe that no-one was here. "Mister Anchorman that gets the pussy", I sang out. I went behind the table in one quick motion, "BOO"!!! The guy hit his head on the table above him and made a nice and audible thud. I laughed my ass off at how much of a fucking idiot he just made himself seem. "Get out".
He slowly crawled out from under the table and got up, "what do you want". He wasn't trying to fuck around, good. "Look, I'll do it, just don't kill me".
"Stop your whining and get the fuck out there with everyone else", I responded coldly. He made his way to the group and stayed in his place, "alright, everyone into the elevator, you try anything and you get shot". They all piled up in the elevator and I still kept my guns handy. "Which floor is the the broadcast station".
"It's floor twelve", I heard the anchorman reply. I pushed the button and we made our way to go about 8 more floors higher, I asked him if there were any way he could broadcast a message out nation-wide right now. "Well... Yeah, but why".
"Don't worry about why I'm doing this, just worry about me killing you, that should get you doin your job right". He nodded quickly. "Good, now relax and just focus on getting me and you aired live". The rest of the elevator ride was quiet and awkward, for the ponies, not me, for me it was just boring not doing anything, I knew exactly what I was going to say on the broadcast. I just needed to get this out so that these citizens of Equestria can listen to some uncensored media for just a few minutes. Not the propaganda bullshit they're constantly getting, the fake info. This is the real news that I'm going to be handing out, for their interests and the interests for the future of this nation.
"This way", he instructed. I followed him down the hallway with the rest of the survivors in front of me. He led us into a room that had two chairs, a microphone, and a desk with a radio on it. "This is it".
"Alright then, set it up",I ordered. "Everybody line up against the wall and sit down on the floor." I got up to of and shut the door and lock it behind me. The anchor called out to me letting me know that it's ready and that all he needs to do is to start broadcasting, I went over to him and took a seat in the chair in front of him. "What's your name", I asked.
"Earl Greyhound", he replied. Odd, ponies don't have names like that usually. "You ready to start".
"Yeah", I cleared my throat. "Don't say a thing 'till I'm done with my speech, then we do an exclusive interview with me, live". He nodded and clicked on the button to play the broadcast our live to the whole nation. I cleared my throat one more time.
(This video has some parts that aren't related to Equestria, but this is the best video I could find, All America statements are related to Equestria's for anyone who might get confused, all presidential statements are related to Celestia, Bush is Luna, Obama is Celestia, and Lincoln is Starswirl, and that he freed slaves under Sombra's rule, Iraq is Yakyakista, the US is Equestria, the U.K. Is the Gryphonian Empire, Washington is Canterlot). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzNH4izAxLo
"Wow", Earl stated with enlightenment. "That was really powerful". He just sat there awestruck, my guess is through the sudden realization of the possibility that everything he knew, was a lie. "Should we start the interview".
"Yeah let's do it", I assured. He began with the question of who I am. "Why does it matter Earl, where I'm from, what I do, what does any of that matter". He was not expecting me to not brag about who I was and how I could do everything I've done. He started to think of something else to question.
"Um, why do you think that Celestia is a liar as you say she is", I knew he was going to ask that.
"She has no actual physical proof that she can do any of this, my theory, illusion spell. The sun is too hot and gigantic to control, it looks small but that's because we are a few hundred thousand miles away from it. She is not a god, but more like someone who has found a way to freeze her aging cells to stop the process of making her get older, which keeps her alive way longer than everyone else. Same. With Luna". He took this into consideration and opened his mouth to continue.
"Do you feel that the killing of innocent people, is a solution". This is another question I expected from bullshit pacifists.
"Yeah I do", I answered with confidence. "We're growing way too rapidly for us to handle them all, everyone gets hungry, thirsty, and needs to get around, which drains all of our resources, in a hundred years or so, it'll all be over, and by then, it would be too late for you all. But I'm not like Celestia, I want to make you wake up and change for yourself, for your families, and for the better of every single living being on Equis". I paused to let Earl asked another question if he had any more.
"Why not get elected as mayor, or form a party, or form a whole new nation of your own-", he couldn't finish as I interrupted him with my answer.
"Because Equestria will still be ruled by Celestia, you guys will increase by population and maybe even declare war someday", I waited for him to ask any more obvious questions. "Oh, and another thing, if you're a guard or a soldier, you are a tool for 0.01%, not the general public, that's all just a whole made up to boost up morale for enlistments".
"Have you had any encounters with Celestia yourself in person", he decided to try and get my identity this way huh? Okay, I'll play along.
"Yeah I've met her before", that's all I would say and let the mind fuckery begin. "I think that's all and I sincerely hope that everyone will consider the possibility of a whole new world reborn".
"Okay then", he said settling down a bit. "Are you going to let us go, we've cooperated with you fully". I nodded grinning behind the mask.
"Yeah, I'll be fair and let them go, but not you, I need you to help me get out of here, once I'm out you can head home safely", I finished with the details of how the rest of this will go down. He just looked at me, unsure if he can do this, "you can do it Earl, you can get melt of here and you can go home safely to any family out there that you have".
He just shook his head, "fuck it, okay, let's do it".
I told everyone to get up and head out the door for the elevator nice and slow. I walked behind them, ready for anyone who might've been ready to surprise me during the broadcast. "In the elevator, let's go"! I walked over to the window and looked down, they weren't in the building, but it looked as if they would come in at any moment. I ran to the elevator and pushed the button for the second floor. I waited in anticipation for what'll happen next.
The doors opened and I was pointing the guns at them to go down the stairway now, "come on, down the stairs, then you're home free". We all walked down until the door leading into the main lobby was right there, "alright, evrybody but Earl, go". They ran and I pointed a gun at him and told him to tell the guards that they can't come in because I've got the place rigged, (it was a lie) and that I will go around the building killing more on the other floors if I found anyone else. He nodded and left. I went around and went back down by the janitor's closet and went back out into the alley. I ran down the alley 'till I saw the docks behind the building. I went up to a boat that was about to depart and I stopped it, "hey man, look, I'm not going to kill you, but I will if you don't give me a ride". He nodded and I jumped in the boat and told him to get a move on. He turned the boat around and headed off.
"I need a ride all the way up to the area by the center of Manehattan", I told him. He nodded and kept on going in the direction I pointed at. "Good, get me there and I won't kill you". About 10 minutes of going through the ocean and we reached the shore by the center of town. "Right here's good, and hey buddy, you just did something good for the world". He was dumbfounded but I was already gone before he could ask anything else. I ran down an alley and found a public bathroom and no-one was home, I picked a stall and got all of my gear off. I got my normal clothes on and my hoodie and put everything back in the duffel bag and left.
I kept going until I reached the train station, I asked for a ticket back to Trottingham, the ticket lady gave me a ticket that read five minutes left, fuck yeah! I gave her the money for the ticket, which was 60 bits. I boarded the train and just waited for the thing to get going back to town. I've succeeded, I just need to wait for Equestria's own people to revolt. I quietly started laughing to myself at how fucked all of this was, I don't know why I found it funny, but I did.
I dozed off, realizing that the ride home would take a good while.
The second and huge step to change has just taken place boys......
