Chapters The Fallen
I was walking home from school, usually the walks to school were uneventful but as I was walking by an alleyway I caught a glimpse of a little spark, it was just a blue spark in an alleyway and being the 16-year-old boy I decide to check out the strange spark. I walk down the alleyway but also being cautious where I step because where there are sparks, there's usually electricity.
When I got to the back of the alley I spot this small stone slab on the ground, there was lettering on it that I couldn't understand but I then heard a could footsteps behind so I spin around and tear out a Glock-18 that was hiding under my green hoodie in an armpit holster which also held a P226.
The mysterious being then began to chuckle "You're a curious one aren't ya" the old raspy voice sent a shiver down my spine but I still kept my ground, aiming the firearm at the man's head "but you're also a fool" he said as the gun then levitated out of my hand then back into the gun holster. I was awestruck by the sudden 'magic' that just occurred
He then said "You have much to learn young one, your life is filled with hatred, rage, and death" he then walk closer to me, stopping about 3 feet in front of me "You'll be sent far away to learn about your rights and wrongs. You, my friend, will change" he gave off a menacing look, I reach towards the gun again "don't try Raiden or else It will result in injury"
"and if I refuse-" voice was too deep, I sounded like a 16-year-old. I looked at him with a confused look "Wait how do you know my-"
he started laughing "Y-You think you have a choice hehe, oh and I've been watching you for awhile now young one" he then takes 2 steps forward forcing me to back up onto the slab. "You will return to this world when I think you're ready but just remember I'M WATCHING" his shout echoed throughout the alleyway, I then felt a weird sensation that slivered through my body. I look at my feet to see the unknown words glowing, I tried to get off the slab my feet wouldn't budge, I felt exhaustion as soon as my vision faded to white.
I wake up to a rush of wind, I open my eyes to notice it was later in the evening but the thing that caught me off guard was that I was shooting through the clouds. I began to scream as I saw the ground growing closer, I then began to pray and close my eyes as I see I'm around 70 feet from the ground, then tense up as I thought 'this is the end Raiden, it was a shit run but you made it worth while. I blackout due to the shock.
Twilight was looking through her telescope in her Library/House, Spike walks up behind her and says "What are you looking at Twilight, Its 4 in the morning" She turns around to spike to see him with an annoying look on his face, "I can't sleep when your pacing around mumbling to yourself" she could tell he was ticked off. she turns back around to the telescope
"Spike, I'm looking for the new consolation that Luna said was tonight" she then goes wide eyed as she sees at least new 8 stars in the sky that formed to look like a Quill, she gave off 'Oohs' and 'Aahs' as the stars appeared one by one but when the 8th star showed up it was moving to down towards the edge of the Everfree Forest.
When the 'star' hit the ground it gave off a small explosion of dirt and grass, her pupils shrunk as she saw the impact "I have to go check that out" she thought out loud as she books it down the stairs and out the door.
When she arrived at the crash site the were piles of dirt she then noticed Fluttershy hurrying to her side "Twilight w-what was that" she whimpered.
"It was some type of meteorite but it's supposed to burn into pieces once it touches the atmosphere" Twilight then began toward the supposed 'meteor' when she got to the edge of the crater, she heard a groan from the big hole in the ground causing her and Fluttershy to gasp
I woke up with a severe headache and the feeling of dirt covering me, I take time to process the events before this 'Ok so I met this old dude then I stepped on a Stone slab then I show up in the sky falling to my death but I'm still alive?' I try to push myself up only to be semi-successful as I sit on my knees, I put one knee out in front as I try to hoist myself to a standing position again being successful, I groan due to a migraine I was having only to hear a gasp of another person or so what I thought was a person, I look up to see a lavender purple Unicorn with dark purple hair and a pink stripe going through the mane, I look beside it to see a yellow horse with a pink mane quivering in fear behind the purple one
I saw two technicolored ponies standing near the edge of the crater "Uh..... Hi?" we stare at each other with what seems for hours and to be honest, the 2 equines looked familiar. it hit me these too were from that show My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, I liked the show when I was little when i... no, they don't matter anymore, I walk forward towards the two ponies they stand back a bit eyeing me confused and cautiously.
"H-Hello," the purple mare said but also trying to calm down the yellow pony, I'm a little surprised that they didn't scream or run away at first sight even though the yellow on was on the verge of passing out.
I look towards them and blurt out "I'm surprised you didn't run away from me since I crashed on your planet or whatever" I then look towards the crater "also sorry I wrecked the ground", I look around to see a lot of trees scattered around on the ground but what was worrying was the big drag mark across the dirt
the purple one shakes her head "its ok, it's not that important" she says as she looks away from me, eyeing all the destruction she then turns back to me "My name's Twilight Sparkle and this is Fluttershy" she points to small quivering timid pony
"well that sums up introductions Anyways names Doiron, Raiden Doiron or you can call me Raygen Brady your choice" she looks at me with a slight smile while the yellow one calmed down a little bit but is still avoiding eye contact with me, I crouch down in front of Fluttershy and say "I'm not gonna hurt you" but as soon as I said that I hear a low and vicious growl behind us causing me to spin around towards the treeline to see 2 glowing green eyes staring at us.
I slowly reach my hand up my shirt to grab the handle of my karambit, I yank the Karambit out of its sheath and spin it with index finger not before catching it with my palm, I go into a combat stance as I wait for the first strike, I then taunt at the creature "come on you wimp show me what you got" I guess I triggered a nerve since it lunged at me only for me to sidestep the creature but as soon as the wolf-like monster's arm came into range I grab it and put it in an arm lock while putting the Knife around its neck, but I underestimated its strength as It gets out of the grab and swipes at me cutting my cheek.
I then tackle the wolf into a tree causing it to yelp, I then throw it into the bushes causing another yelp, I smile as I hear the wolf run away then I turn to the two ponies who were looking at me bewildered. I jog over to them and say "best we go before it gets back up" I then follow them towards town.
I hear Twilight say "I can't wait to tell the princess and girls" I gave thought about their reaction but dismiss it when she will probably say I saved them or some shit, though to be honest, I wouldn't know if she would have guards take me to some prison she would let me roam freely, it was a scary thought but I let it slip from my mind anyways.
We reach a big tree with a few windows and a door, I say "that's a pretty bizarre house their Twilight" 'Home improvement would be jealous'
She looks at me with a grin "It's also a Library" I look behind me and see the sun is rising, we enter the door to see lots of shelves housing thousands of books, I wipe the blood from my cheek as I sit in a chair, twilight then head to the stairs across the room and yells up "SPIKE I NEED TO WRITE A LETTER!" I cringe at the shout.
'I hate noisy places especially loud things' i was taken out of my thoughts when I heard a shout, I turned my attention to the small purple Lizard that was staring me "His name is Raiden" after she sent the letter to the 'Princess' she came and sat across from me
she stares at me for a second taking a close look at my facial features "so I guess you want me to answer some questions or some shit" I say but quickly realized that I curse as I cover my mouth "I'm sorry it's instinct" she looked at me somewhat disappointed, 'i got to keep my swearing to a minimum here or I'll probably get a lecture from Twilight' i chuckle at the thought in my head
"well I do want you to answer some questions so first, What are you?" of course it was an easy question and obviously the first
"I am a Human or in scientific terms Homosapien". The smart look wasn't for me but it was worth a try
"Hooman? never heard of it" she responds obviously saying a human wrong, I give a small giggle even though I somewhat saw it coming
"no not Hoo-man, Hue-man" she giggles realizing her mistake, mistakes are mistakes but it's not much fun when a mistake makes you homeless
"oops sorry" she apologized, though as apologetic as she was (which is kinda cute) I've got to keep my guard up
"it's ok, I actually expected it, anyways next question" she chuckles but then continues "Where are you from?"
"I lived on a planet called Earth, my Country was called Canada and I lived in a small town called Peterborough" She stared confused for a second
Twilight said, "Do you have a family?" I froze, I stared wide-eyed ate her, 'What should I tell her?, That I went on a murderous rampage after my parents die or do I say yes and move on from that
"Uhh" I sighed "N-No" I saw this coming maybe when the princess comes here she will be easier on me in prison when the times come
"T-They were murdered," I said with a tremble in my voice, She stared with worry in her eyes 'Oh god don't cry don't cry don't cry don't cry' i thought rapidly as I heard a quivering sigh from her
"S-Sorry I A-Asked" 'Ok good I don't have to confront something as so stupid as a topic that wasn't even about her
"n-no its ok I'm over it" I reassured her, This was a bullshit lie, I wasn't over it, each time I think of their face makes me wanna join them even more but mom would want me to stay strong and fight my feeling but then again she wants me to be happy
"O-Ok how old are you," she said with regret in her voice, I look outside to see it pitch black, we I 'arrived' it was around 7:00 PM
"I'm 16-years-old" I replied, she went wide-eyed again
"But y-you took down a timberwolf!" I would have snapped its neck and stab it multiple times if you weren't there watching me fight the thing
"I could do much more than just 'take it down' " I blurted out, The look of terror she gave me as the word 'more' slipped out of my mouth was priceless but I kept a straight face in order not to ruin the mood
"where did you learn to fight like that," she says like a little girl even though her age has to be older than me I believe
"well at school I would be bullied blah blah blah so I taught myself to fight" My back started stain due to the gun holsters, they weren't that comfortable so I stand up all the while Twilight giving me a confused look. 'i also taught myself how to kill' i think as I stare at her with half-lidded eyes
I take off my sweater to show 3 guns I first started with my AK-74u, I take it off like a backpack and set it beside the chair I was sitting in then I then unclipped the armpit holster then continue to take it off like the AK-74u and also set it beside the chair, I sit back down and say "any more questions?".
she points to the firearms on the floor and says "What are those" 'Shit I don't want to tell her they are deadly weapons yet' i thought as I try to think of something to
I look at the 3 weapons besides my chair and say "self-defense precautions" 'whew that's actually a good excuse' I thought
She nods and then says "that's all I have for now but I believe my-" she was interrupted by a knock at the door she then trots over to the door and opens it to 5 other ponies of all different races and colors she then leads them in, I hide behind a chair as she comes back then I hear her say "where did he go?" I hear Twilight say.
I wait around for a few seconds when they were arguing not before jumping out and yelling "BOO!" everyone screams as they stare at me with terrified faces, I try to hold in my Laughter but failing miserably as I fall to the ground and start laughing my ass off.
I get up to a bunch of mad/terrified faces but then the pink one runs over to me at an alarming rate causing me to jump back a bit she stops right in front of my face "Ohhithereyou'renewtoponyvilleimeannewtothisworldohimgonnarunsuchabigpartyanditsgonnabesofun" she says at the speed of light making me bewildered by the energy, I quickly respond
"I'll go to the party if it has peyote" blurt out not before looking around, 'great job Raiden you got yourself in another bullshit lie situation'
they stared at me with confused faces, the Orange one wearing a cowboy hat breaks the silence "What is a Peyote?"
"peyote is a cactus where if you eat one of the leaves you go on the biggest trip ever, so fun" I blurt out again 'SHUT THE FUCK UP RAIDEN' I then look around nervously
Twilight says "so a hallucinogenic plant?" 'no fucking shit ya egghead'
"indeed" I responded "can you tell them everything? I don't want to repeat myself" I said to Twilight. she agrees and tells them everything and as she does that I check for my phone and luckily I had my iPhone and the charger though I didn't need it right now since it's at 50%, I realize that everyone was staring at the device I was holding "what?" they then averted their gaze from me and continued to chat, I plug in my Earbuds and start listening to Often By The Weekend after 3 minutes of telling my story I notice them glaring at me I take an earbud out of my ear and say "Why are you staring at me?"
The cyan pegasus with a rainbow mane says "What are you doing" 'The hell is her problem? is it her time of the month or is she just a feminist?'
I then say "I'm listening to music, is that a problem?" I said in a cold tone, 'I'm legit the biggest dick in this world right now, I want the alien ponies to respect me, not be a pain in the ass' i think even though I whisper the words
The white pony walks forward and says "My name is Rarity dear" ' Oh look a fashionista with daddy issues, can't wait to hear her whine and cry about small fucking things'
then the pink one says "Hi I'm Pinkie Pie" 'Is she on drugs or does she have a euphoria disorder' i chuckle at the thought but the chuckle causes her to smile as she bounces off towards a chair
the cyan then glares at me "Names Rainbow Dash, I also heard you took down a timberwolf even though you're 16" 'It's a wolf, BIG DEAL I can kill five of them against me' I think to myself again
"So?" I responded while staring at her with the face of 'where is this going? '
"I don't believe her so I want to spar you" I was unfazed by her challenge, those words are a death wish and she is going to regret fighting me
"sure, I have nothing to do anyways, just don't cry if you break a bone" everyone but Rainbow looks at me with a little fear I then walk outside followed by everyone else we separate by 8 feet I then enter a defensive stance, I shout "You go first!", without warning, she then flys towards me with incredible speed but not fast enough because as she was going to punch I grab both wings and pull her toward me resulting in me kneeing her in the nose.
she recoils back with a spurt of blood shooting out her nose but that wasn't enough for me, I yell "My turn" as I ran towards her I raise my Leg and kick her in the gut then I bring back my leg only for me to kick her again in the head, I grab her wing again and toss her down to the ground.
I walk to her, she recoils into a ball as I extend my hand to help her up she was clearly not looking so I said "need a hand" she looks at my hand then to my face multiple times only to figure it out and extends her hoof I grab her hoof and pull her to her feet though when she put pressure on a hoof she winces so I then scoop her up in my arms causing her blush, I then look around to see multiple crowds of ponies staring at me with fear I then shout "This was just a sparring match to prove is better" they all started to scream and run.
New Friends
I looked towards the group of ponies who stood by Twilight with the looks of Astonishment and somewhat horror, I look at Twilight "Do you know any healing spells because I think she broke some bones" I give Dash a sly smile as she grows irritated.
Twilight replies "I know some but did you really have to go all out?" I guess it is time to tell them about my 'anger issues' at least that's what everyone else calls it
I sighed "well I guess we can go back inside and y'all can here another story so" everyo- I mean everypony went into the house followed by me.
I sit down in the chair I was sitting in before I look towards my gear but my eyes shoot wide as I see the Glock-18 "where is it?!?" I turn to the others to see my worried face "Twilight where is Spike?" 'that little shit is going to kill himself if he has it' i thought as I search around room but to no avail
"Well he should be up-" I dart up the stairs and into the room to see Spike looking down the barrel of the weapon 'HOW FUCKING STUPID DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO LOOK DOWN A TUBE OF AN UNKOWN OBJECT!' I scream in my head
"NONONONO" Spike is startled by me and the gun goes but fortunately, the bullet hits the ceiling, not hitting anyone "drop it" Spike complies as he quickly but gently puts it down "Don't, DON'T ever touch these" he nods very quickly and backs up a bit with the look of Embarrassment on his face
I hear Twilight running up the stairs "Is everything ok I heard a big bang and scream-" she was late by 20 seconds either she is dismissive or plain stupid
I Stop her with a hand "its ok just an accident, after the thing I tell you, I should demonstrate how dangerous these are" I said while inspecting the weapon, I then turn back down the stairs
I reach the bottom to everyone staring at me, the stare was annoying now "Can ya not Fucking stare at me" everyone cringed at the word, "alright now the thing I was going to tell" everyone started listening "Ok back at my school I have 5 friends and we were in a gang called 'The Elements of War' " everyone pupils shrunk at the word 'War'
The orange one raised her hand "There ahre other Elements?" 'Hold up, other Elements? the fucks that supposed to mean' i process the info in my head as I try to remember the show 'Oh yeah everypony here is an Element of Harmony or some shit like that'
I replied "You can say that" everyone whispered to each other and when they stopped I continued "We were not a force to be reckoned with, My friends Elements: Aidan - Element of Tactics, Elijah - Element of Bravery, Nate Element of Support, Luke - Element of Perseverance, Kyle - Element of Surprise"
Fluttershy raised her hand "Whats your Element? I-If you don't mind telling us" 'I Like her already, she's caring, gentle and quiet, os so very quiet'
"Element of Rage," I said with a deep voice "So I get a little.... out of control when I fight, I would have gone lighter on Rainbow but something ticks me," I say with regret
"but I never caught your name" pointing to the south American pony, 'because the 'so tough' Rainbow Dash got too fussy and now she has broken bones, fucking gay pride poster'
the orange one says "Mah name's Applejack" I clap my hands together and yawn, I look outside to see the sun lowering 'say where is that Tardiness of a princess'
"Twi didn't ya say Tha princess was coming," Applejack said 'took it from my mouth'
Twilight then responds "She is busy in Gallopfornia" I snort at the pun for a country
"well, who wants to see that demonstration" everypony nodded and waited for me to put on my holsters when I finished I walked outside with everypony following to a rock "also who wants to hear some Human music?"
"I wonder what human music so sure" I then pull out a small and hook up Bluetooth to it with my iPhone 4S, I put on 10 Lil' Crips by Snoop Dogg the speakers then start playing the song, I pull out my Glock-18 "This is a Glock-18 it fires 9x19mm Parabellum Lead bullets and a bullet about this size" I eject a bullet from the chamber and catch it mid-air, showing the group "can do this" *CRACK* I fire at the rock causing a small hole the appear in the rock, I holster the gun and look at the group both startled and stared in awe, I hear the song end and it switches to Hit Em' UP by 2Pac
I then pull out my P226 and pop a bullet from the chamber and show the group again "this is a P226, same round as the Glock so you know the results" I eject the magazine to put the round back in then I slide it back into the firearm, I see Rainbow Dash nodding her head to the music, she sees me looking at her and she smiles, I then reach down to my right ankle to pull out the M1911, Rainbow Dash walks up to me and says "this is some awesome music Raiden, Have you heard of dubstep?"
I look at her and Grin devilish "Oh yes I do, I even make Dubstep" 'But I'm fucking terrible at it' i retort in my mind
she stars at me with stars in her eyes "Can you put on some of your songs?"
"sure" I put on a song called I Can Smell You .
I then continue with the demonstration "this here is an M1911 which fires ACP.45 rounds" I Eject the ACP.45 from the 1911 and show it to the group once more before putting the bullet in the mag and sliding it back in, I aim at the rock again and *CRACK* fire once causing a piece of the rock to fall off, the bang was much louder and caused everyone to jump at the sound, The song then changed to Mad world by Manoeuvres I look around to see a small crowd listening to the music and watching me fire off my guns, I then holster the M1911 in my ankle and then reaches over to the other holster to pull out a Taurus Raging everyone gasps at the 'Raging Bull', I whip out the Cylinder to show the round.
"This is a .44 Magnum round, this round is able to pierce steel and wood" I then put the round back into the slot and whip the gun to the side causing the cylinder to lock back in place I aim towards the rock again, "you might want to cover your ears for this one" everypony complied as the put their hoofs to their ears, I pull the hammer back, *BOOM* the gun fires causing the to fly upwards to a 45 degree angle when the bullet it went through the rock and caused dirt to fly up behind, everypony saw the huge hole in the rock, to my surprise the crowd cheered as the music shuts off "Oh the shows not over yet" I say causing the crowd to stop clapping 'i made myself a reputation after a day in Ponyville' i thought as I put the raging bull into its respective holster.
I stand up to reach my arm towards my back to catch a wooden handle, I pull the medium sized weapon over my shoulder and out of the back holster, I hold with both hands before pulling the action back causing the chamber round to fly out again, I then show the really large bullet to the crowd but I see a golden flash behind the crowd I then see a Mare about the same height as me with a long horn walk through the crowd I dismiss it and I slide the bullet into the respectable magazine and put it back into the gun, I take aim towards the damaged rock, *CAKCAKCAKCAKCAKCAK* , "DIE MUTHAFUCKA" I yell as I empty the clip into the rock making it a mound of debris.
I look towards the crowd to see everypony but the tall one cheering, from what I'm guessing is the princess was standing in awe at the rock the princess then walks over to me with a straight face, she stood 3 feet away from me eyeing suspiciously, I give a small bow which brings a small smile to her face she then speaks "Hello there my name is Princess Celestia and I believe you are Raiden?"
"the one and only ma'am," I say while fixing my hoods position 'Real Smooth Raiden Real Smooth' she gave the look of 'what a gentleman' as we stared into each other's eyes for a minute.
"Twilight told me all about you but she also told me about your back story and you're 'Elements' " she said with a little worry in her voice 'at least bullets can do better than a gay rainbow'.
"Yeah my past ain't the best," I said with a sigh 'you better not lock me up you fucking bitch' I spat in my mind, I'm not the nicest person but I'm not Hitler so I guess I should try to be nice
"well we have much to discuss, follow me," I said as I followed her back to Twilights house, I don't like where this is going. she gives off a weird vibe, a vibe that I hadn't felt for 8 years.
I get to the front door of the library and open the door for Princess Celestia "Royalty first" I say with a bit of formality in my voice, she walks past me flashing a smile, I soon follow closing the door behind me "So how did you get here?" Celestia asked with a curious look "I was coming home from school, It was mostly uneventful until I passed an alleyway which I saw spark that just shot up from the ground so I decided to investigate" she was pondering about the situation
"Once I got to the back of the alleyway I find this stone slab on the ground with a bunch of weird lettering but then this stranger came up behind me and said something about..... cleansing my soul or whatever and then forced me onto the slab, I wake up later falling towards the edge of a forest and then that's where I find Twilight" she gave me a confused/astonished look, she breaks the silence "very peculiar, By the way, those objects are very impressive" she says, I part bot sides my hoodie opening it to see the armpit holsters as well as the karambit hanging by a cord around my neck.
I pull out the Glock-18, showcase the side showing my mark carved into the handle grip "This symbol is my Element, Element of Rage" I then pull out my iPhone showing a group photo of my friends after a battle with a terrorist group "These are my fellow Elements" I say while she looks at the photo even though she awestruck by the technology.
"My friend's Elements: Aidan - Element of Tactics," I say while pointing to a lightly tanned skin guy with a dirty blonde undercut hair dew and wearing a Hawaiian button up shirt and light blue jeans, his signature gun that he was holding was an AR-15 with a 14x scope, the mark was on the side of theAR in paint, his other signature gun were a USP-45 that was strapped to a waist holster
"Elijah - Element of Bravery" he was a tall, pale white guy and was wearing a White hoodie and white pants with a small spot of blood on his chest, His signature weapon that he was holding was a Mossberg Model 500 SPX Pump Shotgun, His other signature weapons were an AK-12 with a bayonet on the tip of the barrel which was located in a holster on his back and a Desert Eagle which was located in a single armpit holster on his left side
"Nate - Element of Support" he was a short, white kid with short eggplant purple emo hair, he was wearing a dark green ghillie suit without the mask, exposing his face to the sun. he was holding his signatures Dragunov SVU which was rested on his shoulder and a suppressed M1911 in his left hand
"Luke - Element of Perseverance", He was a white kid he was wearing a gray T-shirt with light brown shorts, he had a short, dark blonde emo haircut, his signature weapons were 2 Uzi's which he was holding in an X gesture, he also had a UMP-45 that was equipped with a Red Dot Sight and a laser sight
"Kyle - Element of Surprise" he was a short, skinny guy with short black hair, he was wearing a black hoody and black skinny jeans. his signature pieces were a KRISS Vector equipped with a Holosight and a Suppressor which he was holding in his left while he had a beretta 95 which was also equipped with a Suppressor
I turn to the Princess who was looking at every detail of them "you all look so happy together" she said with a warming smile, I pause for a second looking at the picture again "yeah they're the only family I have, we are soldiers without an army, brothers in arms.... best friends" she looks at me again except it was sad frown across her face.
I let out a long yawn and start to rub my eyes, I haven't slept for a day and a half but I dealt with worse. I turn to Celestia again "is there any questions Celestia?" she turned to me "what's your purpose as Elements?" I look at her with sudden regret "we protect our country but since our world has no magic, we use weapons" I wanted to go home already this place was too peaceful.
She gives a look of despair, we hear a door open to see the Mane 6 walk into the room then Rainbow comes to me with a limp, "Hey Rainbow I'm sorry about the injuries, maybe when I have time I can teach you how to fight" she look up at me with a wide smile and a few missing teeth I turn towards Applejack to hear her humming Often by The Weekend, I walk away to a corner of a room and sit down on a chair while everyone started to chat, I take off my Trans-dimensional rucksack and pull out an Acoustic Guitar and began to tune it to my liking.
once it's tuned I start playing/singing Take Me Down by Gary Clark Jr "~When this train rolls down the tracks~" everypony averted their gaze towards me "~I'm not coming back~" everyone then began to walk over to me and sit down "~gotta one way ticket, I'm going home.... back where I started from~" I then realize that everypony is watching me "~Take me down to south, will you take me home love~" I strum the notes for a few seconds "~the last time I saw ya, I meant to say I love ya" everypony started swaying their head to my guitar "~I've been ridin', I've been home.... but I'll always miss you when I'm gone~ everypony was now giving a sad smile even Pinkie Pie "~Oh Take me down to south yeah... Take me down to south, oh will you take me home love~" I started you sway my head with them as my voice gradually gets louder
I start to hum to simulate a harmonica, I stop humming to start the guitar solo "~Oh take me down to south.... Take me down to south~ after a few more strums of my guitar I end the song by just repeating the beginning but I quiet down the guitar "~when this train comes down the tracks... I'm not coming back, gotta one-way ticket, I'm going home.. back where I started from~" I stop strumming the guitar and I look towards the crowd of 7 ponies, some were tearing and the others were clapping.
I bow my head, once I raise my head I see Twilight standing in front "That was beautiful Raiden" I give off a hint of red as I blush, "Thank you, By the way, where will I be staying for my time in Ponyville?" everypony gave puzzled look as they switch looks from each other, then Twilight looked at me "well what do you prefer?" I gave a minute to think about it "Well I don't want the place to be busy and loud, I want to be comfortable and feel welcome and that's pretty much it" I see everypony thinking about it.
Rainbow Dash steps forward "he can stay with me" everypony looks at her with a surprised she then adds "unless Raiden is over 200 Pounds then" I then answer "I'm 150 pounds so I should be ok" then Celestia steps forward "so it's settled Raiden will be staying with Rainbow Dash, any objections?" she waited for a response but none came but then Twilight said "how will Raiden get to your house? its at least 1000 hf (hoof) in the air" Rainbow Dash then pondered for a moment she then popped her head up and said, "Can you climb Raiden?" I look at her " I'm probably the best here at freerunning so yeah
I and Rainbow got outside and we walked under a huge cloud, I waited for her to finish up an obstacle course up towards by listening to some rap, after 5 minutes or so have past she comes back down and taps me on the shoulder, grabbing my attention I look at her to see her smiling. I stand up and switch the song to Polarize by Twenty-one pilots, I put my phone in my pocket and start running up the first cloud wall which was almost rock solid which was weird, I hoist myself up and look at the first obstacle which was a 5 feet wide jump.
I start to sprint forward at a fast pace and then jump the gap and land on the other side, tucking into a roll. The next Obstacle that was coming up fast a 6-foot wall but to the right of it was another cloud then I got an idea, I sprint forward while shifting sideways towards the right cloud then I jump and start to wall run against the right cloud when I was close to the 6ft wall, I jumped up and grabbed onto the ledge and pull myself up to continue the run. I stand up and got a good look at two 4ft walls that were separated by 5.7 ft gap and just for immersion, I was around 24 ft in the air so the fall wouldn't be pleasant, I run forward and put my arms out in front, when I enter the range of the wall I spring forward and latch onto the first block, I do a double monkey vault and I clear the 2 obstacles as well as keeping my momentum.
I look up to see the house just about 22 ft above, I drop my head to look forward and I see my final test, there were an 11 ft wall and just above was the exact same wall except In the air and on the opposite side of the first wall but there were also pipe-like tubes running up the walls, I run towards the pipe and began to climb it, once the pipe stopped I turn around to see another pipe that was connected to the floating wall, I kick off the wall causing me to jump towards the other wall, I latch onto the pipe but I lose my footing causing me to hang there by my arms, with all my force I hoist myself just enough to get my feet in place then I continue to climb the wall. I get onto the top cloud and lay down in order to catch my breath.
I close my eyes for a few seconds and open them to see Rainbow Dash looking at me with a smile "I never saw that type of 'running' before" she says while turning around to her house, I get to my feet and jog to her side "well that's because Humans have the right build for it" we enter the cloud mansion. The first room I enter is the living which was all made from cloud except for the picture frames and the pictures within, I sit on the white fluffy couch and take in my surroundings for a second.
Dash trots over but still with the limp and sits beside me with a warming smile, I could already tell we will be great friends. The silence was becoming uncomfortable so I decide to break it "this is a pretty nice house" I say as I look out the window to see it pitch black outside, "Thanks, I don't really try to keep it clean but it stays that way" she says looking down with a small blush, her attitude from the show was way more different than I remembered, she was a bragging/sore loser type of person but I hadn't heard her say a thing about herself yet.
Rainbow Dash stands up and stretches, wincing in the process, "Shouldn't you go to the hospital to check your injuries out?" I say in a worried tone, "don't worry, I crash into things a lot so I'm used to the pain also because I'm awesome" and there she is. The unexpected happened as my phone started to vibrate in my pocket, I rush my hand into my pocket and pull out the ringing phone, The caller name read 'Elijah' seeing this I immediately answer and put the phone on speaker, "Hello?" I say to the phone then a voice responds "Yo Raiden, where are ya It's been 2 days?" The voice was similar to mine but the tone was a bit higher "Well funny story, I've been teleported to a different world" I say in a nervous tone while looking at the rainbow pony beside me who had a confused face. "Is this a joke? send me a pic or something" I then press on the 'Take Photo" option which pulled up the camera and then take a selfie with Rainbow Dash in the shot, I send it to Elijah and his reaction was "I didn't know you were a brony" I sigh as I hear him laughing on the other end.
"Gather up the gang and head to HQ, Try and see if you can use the Dimensional door to find my position, I'm setting up a beacon..." I say as I reach to my side and pull out a small tablet, I turn it on and select the option 'Create distress beacon' "now", I put the tablet back in its spot as I hear "Alright I'm coming to you, keep on a look out" I smile and say "Ok, I'm going to sleep I'll probably see you in the morning" I wait a second for a response "Ok see ya B" he says as he hangs up. I look towards Rainbow Dash to find her staring at me with a confused look "So where will I be sleeping?" I say making her snap out of the confused glare "Oh, is it alright if you sleep on the couch?" I never cared where I slept "It's ok with me," I say as I begin to take off my gear, Starting with my holsters to my clothes and no I didn't go to just my underwear, I still wore my jeans and my one ankle holster just in case. I say goodnight as I see a Rainbow colored tail walk up the stairs, hearing the hoof steps dissipate after a couple seconds, I lay down on the cloud coach and drift into a dreamless sleep.
I slowly wake up to the sun shining on my face and the smell of something being cooked, I sit up feeling the warm sun across my bare chest but I wanted to investigate the really good scent. I walk to what I suppose was a kitchen and see Rainbow Dash in front of a stove cooking pancakes, I walk up behind her and say "good morning" she was startled by my sudden appearance, she turns around and looks at my face for a second but slowly moves her head down to my scarred chest with 4 abs on my stomach, she smiles and says "good morning, do you like pancakes?" she says as she continues with the food, "I sure do" I answer as I head back to the living room to put my clothes on.
After 4 or 5 minutes after putting my gear on, I see Rainbow walk In with 2 plates in each wing. She sets one plate in front of me and sits down beside me with a plate in front of her as well, I ate some pancakes and let it sit in my mouth a bit before confirming it was good, "so how will we know when your friends get here?" she says while chewing her food "First we got to notify everyone else first and a red lightning strike should happen" I say as I finished up the pancakes. There was a soft bang at the door causing Rainbow to get up and walk to the door only to come back with a Newspaper in hand but she had the face of sorrow.
She hands me the paper and I start to read 'CHANGELING QUEEN CHRYSALIS TAKES OVER FILLYDELPHIA AND GALLOPFORNIA CAUSING PANIC EVERYWHERE IN EQUESTRIA' This put a frown on my face "Let's go see the others" I hear Rainbow says as she starts walking to the door. When we reached the end of the cloud, (it gets cheesy here) I look over the edge for a perfect drop point, I see an unattended Haystack just SW of the cloud. I give a daring look at Rainbow as I turn to edge again, spread my arms and hop off the cloud, doing a swan dive towards the ground, I turn around to see Rainbow Dash flying after me but it was too late, at the last second I flip over so I was going back first. I hit the Stack which somehow cushioned my fall and I climb out of it unharmed, I turn to see Rainbow dash staring in awe as I got out of the Haystack unharmed "That was so awesome" she quietly squeals.
"Show the way," I say as she walks past me while I follow her to Twilights house, I enter the Library to see Twilight sitting alone reading a book, Twi looks up to see us and waves "Oh hey, how was your sleep?" She questions as she stands up from the couch, "It was good, look Twilight I somehow got in contact with one of the Elements of War and they are all on their way here" as I say that a red flash was seen near the forest along with a loud thunder. We all run outside and towards the Edge of the tree line to see 5 bipedal figures in a circle formation, I walk behind one of them that had a gray T-shirt, pull out my P226 and then aim at the back of his head causing everyone facing him to freeze.
"What? is there something on my face?" The man said I press the gun against his head causing him to freeze as well, I pull the trigger which the gun let out a click, I turn him around to see Luke with pure fear on his face which caused me to start chuckling, Then everyone else except luke started laughing, I stopped the laughter and said "welcome to the place of the myth"
Everyone stays silent for a minute just staring at me like I was crazy, Then my short, purple hair friend says "Well I don't see any Unicorns or Pegasus's" He says but his jaw drops when I step aside to show Twilight and Rainbow Dash, in fact, everyone's jaw dropped when the two equines were revealed. The 2 ponies blush at my friends who were staring "Ok before we go home we have to take care of something" I pull out a newspaper and show everyone, "90% of Equestria is under control by the Changelings and I plan to eradicate them," I hear Twilight squeak at the word 'eradicate' "Who's with me?" everyone stood and thought for a second.
Elijah was the first step forward "We're a team so we stick together, Plus I haven't had a fight with an army in a while" Then Aidan "Let's go gas these Jews" (plz don't take offense) Then Luke said as he raised his UMP over his shoulder "They fuck with allies, we fuck with them", Nate "Oorah" he yelled with a grumble, Kyle stood there for a moment but then he shrugged and walked over. We turn around to Twilight and Rainbow and they introduced each other but then Luke tapped me and the shoulder and whispered to me "aren't these 2 from MLP?" I whisper back "Yes but don't tell them they are from a show" he steps back to his original position.
We walk back to the Library all the while receiving terrified stares from other ponies, We enter the door to the rest of the Mane 6 just sitting around but staring at us, Applejack walks up "Howdy sugar cube and who ahre these folks?" leaning her head past me, looking at my friends "Well Remember how I told you about my friends and The Elements of War?" she nods her head and comes to realisation "Oh ahre these tah rest of th' Elements?" we walk towards the lounge and take a seat, after all of the Introductions we continued to talk while Pinkie was rambling on about parties and celebrations.
Everyone was quiet for what seemed like hours until Elijah spoke up "So about this Changeling problem, How long has this been going on?" Then Rarity answered "It's been well over 3 years since it began, The only cities left are Canterlot and Ponyville" I sighed and rubbed my eyes then Nate said "the estimated time till this mission is complete is around 6 months" This was going to be a wild ride.
I stand up and ask "what's the closest city from here that is liberated by the Changelings?" Fluttershy finally spoke "The closest is 3 miles to the South, Appleloosa" Applejack smiled at the sound of the city name.
"Ok so we need a map" Aidan said with a smooth voice, Twilight grabbed a piece of paper from a drawer and placed it on the floor, "Ok Nate,
you and I are going to set up south of the town on this hill," He say's while pointing to a large hill on the bottom of the map, "Elijah and Luke, your job is to get all the Civi's out of the area. Kyle and Raiden will look over the area for pieces of information, plans etc."
everyone nods "We go out tomorrow so get rested and get armed" then Elijah walks up and says "Want me to get the Hafeet APC?" I nod to him and I signal Kyle to come to me, he walks over from his sleeping bag "Ok so the best place for info will be the Police station and the clock tower so we will search those for anything" he nods and walks back to his sleeping bag to sleep. I then set up and get into my sleeping bag and fall asleep.
I just got home from school and I had exciting news that I had got an A+ on a math test except something was different, I looked into the living room to see a trail of dark red liquid leading to my Basement or my room as I called it, I walk down the stairs "H-H-Hello?" I say in a squeaky voice. I open my door to my room to see my mom hanging from a rope with stabs marks in her stomach. I tried to scream but nothing came out I then was grabbed around my ankle and pulled into the darkness.
I wake up with a loud gasp for air as I look around frantically only realizing it was a dream, I look around to see everyone but Elijah asleep, I see the sun rising outside as I stretch out my arms and get off the floor to a standing position. I walk over to Elijah who was eating an apple, he tosses me one and I take a bite as I sit down beside him and continue to eat the apple, Elijah Asks "Nightmare again?" I nod to his question, I finish the apple and throw it to the side, I check if all my gear is on me Then I wake up everyone by putting on Over by Drake on my portable speaker and blast it causing everyone except Elijah to jump out of their spots or yell, after everyone was up I turn it off and begin to snicker.
Everyone looked at me with disapproving faces, "OK fun time over, let's stack up and head to Appleloosa. Elijah where did you park the APC?" I say as I snap my fingers and point at him "It's behind the Library, I'll bring it around" Elijah said as he walks out the door, I was approached by Rainbow and she said "Stay safe Raiden" she flashes me a smile and walks over to the other 5 ponies, I walk up to Twilight and say "Send the Princess a message saying that we are going to re-capture Appleloosa" she nods and goes to do what I asked. I walk with Luke, Kyle, Nate and Aidan outside to see Elijah pulling up in the Desert camo armored truck.
Everyone gets in the truck while Elijah and Aidan are up front and everyone else in the back, "Me and Kyle will search the Clock tower and the Police station, If we find Civi's anywhere radio Elijah but anything other than that we will just drop off Nate at the top of the hill and then we will wait till Night, This is a stealth operation so suppressors on and silent at all times." I say as I put a suppressor on my M1911, Nate puts a suppressor on his sniper, Aidan already had his USP-45 so he just sat there, Kyle put a suppressor on his Vector, Elijah puts a suppressor on his AK-12 and Luke puts a suppressor on his UMP-45, we see the town in the distance which had grey clouds that hovered over the small town. Elijah circles the town towards the hill that Nate and Aidan will Camp on.
Nate and Aidan Get out with a bunch of sniper equipment even a small tent for cover, Nate gives us a thumbs up as he puts on his ghillie suit headpiece. we stop at by a rock west of the town and settled down there and waited for the darkness to ensue.
Night has swept all light from the city with the exception of a couple lantern's scattered around, We get out of the APC and head towards town, I turn on the GoPro on my head to capture the Liberation. We reach a small house just around 200 clicks from the main town, We enter to see it is a guard post, there were 4 Changelings in front of us but unaware of our presence so we make it quiet, Kyle walks up behind one of them and sticks his TF-705 knife through the back of its neck causing it to protrude out the other side but the others began to stare in shock but I run over and slash the farthest right's neck causing it to spurt a dark red all over the ground, Kyle pulls out his vector in one hand and blows a hole into the head of the one closest to me, I use the one that was shot as a lift to I hop up his shoulder and stab down on the last goon.
I radio Aidan "We are at a guard post 200 clicks west of the main town, we are exiting the building do you have eyes on us?" Aidan responds with an affirmative. We reach a General store and enter from the back, we see 2 Guards sitting at a table with their back's to us so we both sneak up behind them and I count down from 3 with my fingers only to slice both of their necks and them slouching over dead. We exit through the front not before extinguishing the lantern that was hung up out front then I hear Nate say through the ear piece "There are not many patrols in this city so you don't have to worry much but Elijah and Luke has found where they were keeping the Civilians and are now retreating, you're on your own now"
I nod to kyle and then began to sprint across the road to the clock tower with Kyle following. We enter the front door to 3 Changelings inside, we acted fast and I acted first by throwing a rock at one of them and then running up to slice its throat, Kyle then brought up his Vector and shot one of them in the head and then throwing his knife into the last ones front right kneecap and fortunately passed out due to shock. I radio Elijah "We have a changeling in custody and require a pickup, we will wait for you to come and pick up the package and then we will continue", I searched the clock tower for any info while Kyle watched the prisoner but unfortunately there was none, Elijah came through the door "Look who we have here" I hear him say "Just bring him to the truck and we'll see ya when we are done", Elijah shrugs and picks up the unconscious creature and walks out the door. We walk out of the clock tower to see 5 changelings in the middle of town, "Nate we need some sniper support"
Nate's POV
"Nate we need some sniper support" I hear Raiden coming from the radio "Alright, where is the target" I respond then the radio spoke "Middle of the town, 5 targets" I move my scope over to the middle of the town to see a squad of changelings in a circle, "Ok on the count of three take them out, I got the 2 left, Raiden get the two in the back when you have a clear shot and Kyle get the last one" I speak to the radio, I hear footstep behind me and hear Aidan say "3 hours till sunrise", I nod and settle my scope on the two targets intending to get a one shot 2 kill trick, "1... 2.... 3.... fire" I fire SVU and I watch as the bullet enters the first ones head causing half of it to fly off then the still traveling bullet enters the other one's neck causing blood fountain spurt out of its left side, I see blood puffs around the other three head's as they fall down motionless.
Raiden's POV
I see 2 changelings fall down due to Nate and then we open fire on the rest causing holes to appear in their head, after all the tangos were down, Me and Kyle sprint down the street towards the Police station and stop at the door, I slowly open the door while aiming my M1911 through it, we spot 2 changelings in the single cell with a beaten yellow horse with Orange and yellow hair in front of them, I enter the room with complete silence but Kyle somewhat goes reckless and fires a bullet into both of the Changelings head. Kyle goes to search for any clues while I attend to the horse, Once Kyle came back with 3 files I put the Unconscious pony on my shoulders and carry him out of the town. We reached the truck and see Elijah and Luke sitting with the Civilians they rescued, We put down the pony in the truck on a couple pillows for him to rest.
Elijah's POV
We reach the small town and see 3 guards in our way, Luke fires his UMP-45 at the middle while I walk up on the left one and stab it with a Bowie knife the 3rd guard was alerted by was shortly taken down a by snap of his neck by Luke, we reached this grocery store but there were cries coming from the back of the store so I radio Nate and say "We may have found the Prison, do you have eyes on the large blue building?" I wait a couple seconds before a response came from Aidan "Nate went to take a piss but yeah I see the blue building and there appear to be some Cages in the back so prepare to intercept.
We go around the blue building and hop a wooden fence to see at least 3 large cages filled with ponies, but there were 7 guards on watch, 5 on the ground and 2 on top of the building. I tap luke on the shoulder as I point at the 2 guards on the roof and on the count of three we both fire at the two causing 2 blood puff to appear around their heads as they fall down but not grabbing unwanted attention.
2 guards left the area leaving 3 targets left to dispose of, Luke went around and into the bushes which were behind one of the Changelings, I move behind the other two who were standing at a table, I look to see Luke stabbing the guard in the neck and dragging it into the bush. I see this as my cue as I put my hand on the back of the right Changeling and slam his head on the table breaking its nose while I stab the other changeling in the eye causing blood to squirt all over my hand, I finish off the wounded one with a bullet to the head.
I walk over to one of the three cages and cut the rope holding the cage door close and everyone walks out but being cautious, Luke cuts the ropes to the other cells and we round everyone up and head out the front of the grocery store and out of town, The walk out was uneventful but we made it there in one piece.
Raiden's POV
I return to Luke, Elijah, and Kyle who were just sitting around "We will drive up to Aidan and Nate to pick them up then we will return to town at dawn to wipe away the treat, any objections? no? Ok everyone in, Everyone hesitantly got into the APC which was an unknown object to them, we rode to the small camp and saw Aidan and Nate packing up, they put the equipment away then we head to back to the spot where we were before.
In the morning I was First awake I woke up Aidan, Elijah, Luke, and Nate and headed for Appleloosa, we left Kyle behind to watch the refugees. We arrived to see around 13 changelings either hissing or staring at us with those green, I yell to the group "Surrender and back out of this peaceful town or we will use force", I hear one of them snickering but he gets a hole in his head as I pull out my P226 and fire the bullet causing brain matter to fly out the back of its head.
all the guards stare in shock as the deceased Changeling fall to the ground, "This is your last warning, Leave immediately or join your buddy" but no one moved, I waited 10 seconds before saying "open fire" as I draw my AK-74u and started to fire upon the changelings followed by everyone else, once we mowed everyone down but one I walk up to the surviving Changeling who had the face of pure terror, "I'll give you a chance to turn around and run" he complies and runs away but I then say "wanna see a funny joke" Elijah nods and I Aim my AK at the fleeing tango, I wait 5 seconds before *CAK* I fired a bullet which hit its target causing the Changeling to collapse and everyone started to laugh.
I turn off my GoPro and we head back to the truck. We got back to the truck to see Kyle blasting No Hands by Waka Flock on the APC radio,
he was sitting on top of the truck while supervising all the ponies who were either jamming or talking with each other, I walk over to the Changeling who was held captive at the front of the APC, It had a Bandage around the front right leg and was staring at the ground with grief, I crouch beside it and say "who is your leader?" and without hesitation the creature says "Chrysalis, She is our queen" This one didn't want to hurt, clever "Why do you serve her?" He look's up at me with a starved look "we feed off of magic so we take the ponies and harvest their magic to feed the hive" Hive? Are they insects?
I stand up and walk away towards the ponies, I see the one I rescued sitting on the back of the truck looking around, He looks at me and limps over "What is going to happen to our town?" he asked with much worry in his voice "We will have some royal guard from Canterlot come here and clean up while you try to bypass these events." he smiles and walks way towards a group of ponies. After an hour we pack everything up and get everypony aboard and head towards the small town once again and drop everyone off but to their dismay, the mess was in the middle of cleaning up so they still saw the bodies of the deceased Changelings.
Once everyone has gone home, we drove back to Ponyville with the prisoner. We arrived at Ponyville to see crowds cheering for us as we drove through town, we arrive out front of the Library and park it. We see the Mane 6 standing there waving at us but when I exited the vehicle I was assaulted by a hug from a very happy Rainbow-maned pony, I returned the hug but then released soon after 3 seconds or so "So did you save Appleloosa?" I nod with a smile she then backs away a bit, We enter the Library to complete darkness but then the lights flash on and the words 'Welcome Back'
We see a Golden flash and there was Celestia with a big grin on her face "Oh I thank you for helping us in this war, how do you do it?" I stand there for a second before saying "I have it recorded, do you want to see it?" The Princess nods and then Twilight came up and said "I want to see it too" I Nod and go upstairs to Twilights room to put on the Video, I eject the SD card and insert it into the Laptop that I pulled out from my rucksack, I set the Laptop in front of them and say "I'm going to go enjoy the Party so you two watch that and bring it to me when it's done".
I exit her room and back downstairs to the party which I hear, I reach the bottom to see Kyle talking with Fluttershy and Kyle doesn't talk much, I look to my left to see Aidan, Luke and Rarity talking to each other, I look to the right and I see Applejack and Rainbow Dash having a drinking contest but Applejack clearly won when Rainbow passed out from intoxication, I pick up Rainbow and place her on the couch but then I return and said "wanna go for a drinking contest AJ?" she look's at me with wide eyes "well sure partner but don't crah when ya git a headache" I chuckle at her comment and sit down beside her in a Barstool.
4 giant mugs of beer slide over from nothingness and Pinkie counted down "3... 2... 1... DRINK!" I Tip the mug back and after 5 seconds I have finished the first then I Grab the second and chug it down in 6 seconds due to some lack of oxygen. I slam down the jug and look around to see everypony, not including my human friends, with faces that had utter shock all over it.
I look at AJ to see she has half-way finished her first mug, I tap her shoulder causing her to look at me and she gave the same look that everyone else was giving me, she puts down the mug and says "Wow, for 16 you are quite a solid one" I nod and let out a belch causing everyone to giggle and chuckle then everyone turned back to whatever they were doing. I saw something I thought I wasn't seeing, my Mother was standing near the door of Library then when she saw me staring she turned and walked out the door then I made pursuit after my supposed mother and burst out the door to see my mom walking over a hill, I chased over the hill to see her at her enter the treeline of the forest, he made it into the forest and saw her mother going to the bushes but when I went through, there was nothing but then I heard a voice that repeatedly sang "~I shot an angel with my father's rifle.... I Should've of set it free but I...~" and a piano quite far away in front of me so instead of running, I walked towards the somewhat familiar voice.
Rainbow Dash's POV
I wake up to sudden gasps and flung my head up to see that Raiden finished before Applejack who was still drinking the first mug, he let out a burp which caused me to giggle but when I saw him book it out the door, I decided to check on him but when I exit the Library I saw him going towards the Everfree forest which raised a suspicion so I took flight and decided to watch from above.
When he ran through the bushes I started to hear a women's voice sing 2 sentences repeatedly and a piano which played a slow sad tune but he slowed to a walk and waited a second before singing "~Hush little angel, don't say a word~" he looks to the ground and clasps his hands together "~Bottle full of pills, passed out on the curb~" he waits a split second before continuing "~sun brings heat and it just won't snow. Noose like a necklace on my neck, won't go~" he lifts his head and puts his hands in his pocket "~Have to explore because I won't understand, Blade for your cries and count a penny for my sins~" he sighs and looks around "~Water flies off and the lake don't stream, wrist down the river, not across with the blade~" he then brings his hands up to a butterfly motion "~Girl your wings, Fly away, fly away, fly away. You don't wanna stay, wanna stay, wanna stay. Girl your wings, Fly away, fly away, fly away. You don't wanna stay, wanna stay, wanna stay~".
he then hops down some rocks and crouched under a tree before he begins again "~Wake up to your face. I'm straight forward, Fuck a pace~" He sticks his middle fingers to the sky while looking forward though I don't know what it means "~What I want just so happens to be you, Couldn't picture a moment being in your shoes~" he sings while pointing to his shoes "~When I think back to the kidney failures, Broken promised I failed, I won't deny it I held the ground that you walk on.~" he pauses for a moment and stops walking to look around "~Heart stops, you walk away~" he sings while he hits his chest 3 times "~you're good today, you're gone tomorrow. I carry my heart on my face, I'm so depressed~" he continues walking in the direction of the voice "~what good is sex? I pray that you would love me less and now it's here; hand on my chest~" he then puts his hands to the butterfly motion again "~Girl your wings, Fly away, fly away, fly away. You don't wanna stay, wanna stay, wanna stay. Girl your wings, Fly away, fly away, fly away. You don't wanna stay, wanna stay, wanna stay~"
we reach a clearing to see a human in the middle who was much older than him and long dark brown hair but then he stopped walking towards her, his face turned to anger as he drew a gun from his right holster and fired at the other being, the bullet made an impact square on the head but then the supposed human turned to a changeling and then other changelings surrounded him but he could talk out of it like he did in Appleloosa, right?
Twilight's POV
I finished the video and I find that they are very organized but somewhat violent, I walk downstairs with the 'Laptop' but Raiden was nowhere to be found then Rainbow Dash bursts through the door and says "Raiden is in trouble!" she shouts but only catching Aidan, My friend's attention. We run to her and I ask "What happened?" then She told us how he was surrounded by changelings in the Everfree but then we heard loud cracks coming from the Everfree, We got to the Everfree but then Aidan says "I'm sure he can handle himself" but I didn't think so.
We ran for a minute before we came into a clearing but what was in the clearing was disgusting and terrifying, Raiden stood over a changeling and was surrounded by body parts and blood of other changelings, he proceeds to punch the changeling with such rage that half of the changelings head flew off, hear a sickening hurl come from Applejack causing Raiden to turn his head with glowing green eyes, I stare into the rage-filled eyes but I also saw something else, Hurt, Hatred and Depression then he stands up and turns to us and proceeds to walk past us.
I walked past the horrified group, How dare they manipulate me and my family. They will pay, no mercy, no guilt just pure rage "Raiden, wait up!" I ignored the plea and continued on walking but I saw the rainbowed-maned Cyan pony fly in front of me and then she said "What happened Raiden?" I sighed as I walk down the overgrown "they manipulated my mother" I then sighed again and waited for a response "so That changeling posed as you mom?" I nodded and began to cry on the inside, She then landed on the ground and proceeded to walk by my side.
The walk back to the Library was quiet and uneventful, We entered the door to the place empty except for spike cleaning the party aftermath, The first thing I did was sit on the chair and proceeded to hug my knees. When everyone else arrived they avoided eye contact with me but after awhile I stand up and say "we need a map of our next city" Twilight comes over with a map of Las Pegasus, I take a second to look at it to see its a cloud city with a pretty big military base on the outskirts.
I look at the file that we found in Appleloosa and turns out it has turned into a military city so there were no civilians. I hand the map back to Twilight which caused confused faces of many so I asked "can all the ponies leave the room" and they did as they told and left the Library as I said "Ok here's the plan, Fuck a plan we go in guns blazing" which caused everyone to smile "Everyone needs rest but we need to find you all a Place to stay" I then walk over to the door and open the door to let them back in.
"Ok so everyone needs a place to stay since we can't just stay in the Library" everyone looked around for a 10 seconds before Fluttershy spoke up and said "K-Kyle can stay with me.... If that's alright with him" We turned to Kyle who stood there not before nodding to group which brought glee to Fluttershy's face, Then Elijah said "I believe I can stay with AJ" Which Applejack turned to him with a smile but also a bit of a blush as well, Then Nate and Pinkie glanced at each other a couple times before Pinkie rushed over to him and hugged him as she said "I get Nate" Which caused everyone to giggle, Twilight sided with Aidan then gave him a bumped him on the shoulder with her hoof "Ohh you jew" Aidan said causing Twilight to giggle. Luke then sighed and walked to Rarity who was eyeing him with a mischievous grin.
Everyone left the Library except for Aidan and Twilight, we reach the wretched Obstacle course but my bunk buddy Shifted the course into stairs so I Climbed them and entered the cloud mansion "well I'll see you in the morning" I said as I continued towards the couch But she said "Wait, C-can you sleep with me?" I froze in place as she said that, I turn around and say "are you sure?" She answers "you're saving Equestria plus you're a guess. It's the least I can do" I pondered for a moment before saying "alright if you say so" she gave off a small smile as I follow her upstairs to her bedroom.
We enter her room to see a single window on the left side of the room above a bed, The walls were covered in posters the read 'Wonder Bolts' but I didn't really take notice as she sat on her king-sized bed, She moved over and patted the bed twice signalling me to lay down and so I did. She laid down with me and then dozed off almost immediately so I repeated her and fell asleep in an instant.
I woke up the next morning but when I tried to sit up I felt something holding me down so I looked around only to see Rainbow Dash cuddling me in her hoofs, I giggled softly and gently pulled out my phone and took selfie then I delicately pushed her hoofs off me and crept away for something to eat. I got downstairs and pulled an apple out of the cloud fridge and bit into it, after finishing the apple I heard slow hoof steps upstairs "Hey RD" I say in a gentle tone "Hi Raiden, How was your sleep" I smiled and said "it was great but the wake up was a bit weird" I say as I pull out my phone and showed her the pic of her cuddling me like a bear.
She all of a suddenly flustered red as she hid her face, I walk to her and kneel down "It's Fine but just give me a heads up If you have feeling's for me" I say with a giggle at the end. She smiles lightly but the unexpected happen as she gave me a light peck on the cheek which caused me to freeze and blush. She giggles and walks to the kitchen, I say "I-I'll meet you at the Library" and with a swift turn I walk out the door.
Violence Begins (Las Pegasus Attack)
I sat with Twilight and Aidan waiting for the others for around 15 minutes then 9 figures enter the door "Sorry for the wait, Guys" said Nate as they sat down to access the Situation, we were quiet for a minute I then said "Ok so since the city is a cloud one, we need a pegasus or two to get up there" Then Fluttershy backed up slowly but then Rainbow hops forward with a smile and says "I'll help" I catch a glimpse of Kyle trying to convince the timid pony to join and after a few seconds she nods and trots over to us and we headed out the door towards the Hafeet APC that was still parked behind the Tree, We entered after everyone and the 2 pegasi said their farewells.
We drove towards the cloud city which took 2 hours out of our time, finally we reach the 200 Meter mark from the city so we exit the truck and let the two pegasuses do their job though Fluttershy was having a bit of trouble with the clouds she caught on soon afterward, 20 minutes later the 50 ft stairs were finished and Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash returned to the truck and there they will stay inside till we were done our business, I also taught them the basic knowledge of a Walkie-Takie just in case if they are under attack or we call them out. I looked around to see that everyone was armed with LMG's: Elijah had an H&K MG4, Aidan had an RPK-47 equipped with a drum mag, Nate had an IMI Negev which was just suitable for his size, Luke had an FN Minimi and finally Kyle had an M249, I was tossed an AEK-999 from Elijah.
We started to walk up the stairs which were uneventful until we got to the top, We were confronted by around 7 dozen Changelings but I said to my group "Remember, No Russian" I said as I slam back the lever causing a satisfying *Chik-Chik* and I pointed it forward towards a swarm of bugs and began firing causing Changeling limbs to fly off as the dropped one by one, This sent the message to the rest of the crew to began firing upon our foes. I saw one on the ground that was still alive in front of me so I began to stomp on its head till it caved in, Most of the changelings began to flee but some stayed back and tried to get at us, I saw Elijah fall down from a Changeling and ran over as he tried to punch it off.
Elijah's POV
I was pushed over from behind as I heard a hiss from the same Direction so I roll over onto my back and began to swing at the half bug, half pony gaining a few hits but no effect, It was until I saw a but of a gun end up bashing against the jaw of the Changeling causing its jaw to fly off and tumble over to the left so I get up off the surprisingly hard ground and continued to fire upon the groups of bugs heading our way.
I then saw a Cloud house to my right so I ran over and bashed in the door to see 3 Changeling quivering in fear but after what they've done I've somewhat lost guilt for them so I fired upon the shaking opponents causing red to paint the walls and floor and began out the back door to see more Changelings who were confused by the *CAKCAKCAKCAK* in the background, I lifted my MG4 and began dropping them like flies
Luke's POV
We were mowing them down like blades of grass which reminded me of it because of the pieces the were flying off the unlucky winners of the lead barrage but then that came to a stop as I heard a *click* come from my gun "COVER ME! I'M RELOADING" I shouted as I began to unload the box magazine and replace it with a fresh one, I dragged the rope of bullets into the top of the gun and pulled the large lever on the side. *Chik-Chik* was all I heard as I stood up but when I got up, I ran down an alley and onto another street to see more than 20 Changeling on the road. I pulled my gun up and began releasing lead from the killer contraption like there was no tomorrow.
I come across a couple changeling who Hasn't expired yet so I helped them by butting them a few time in the head with the back of my gun which either pieces to fly off or the heads exploding easily, I came across a barbed wired house which had a lot of commotion going on inside which brings an idea from my head, I pulled out a bottle of vodka that I stole off of Raiden, I popped off the lid and took a swig of it before putting a rag in it and lighting the rag on fire with a match. Let's hope cloud are flammable, I threw the bottle over the fence and into an open window which caused multiple ears piercing screeches and screams as Ablaze Changelings fled out of the house all the while trying to put themselves out but for most of them it was too late and for the rest, I just released a piece a lead into their head.
Aidan's POV
I was walking beside Raiden and Kyle as I shot a couple fleeing Changelings, The Street were still flooding with Changeling that came from houses to check what the commotion was about but sadly the only thing they saw was a bullet shooting through their bodies, but that soon was temporarily stopped when my gun made a *click* meaning the box ran empty so I quickly replaced it with a new one and continued the onslaught.
The streets ran with Blood as bodies spurted out of the holes in the bodies, I littered holes into the ones who fled while Raiden and Kyle and Nate dealt with the attackers, The streets turn quiet except for the gunfire coming from Luke and Elijah so I turned to my right and ran toward Elijah to help him.
Kyle POV
It was Sickening, seeing the body parts fly off the poor creatures but I kept strong and continued to fire upon the Changelings, It was until the streets were ridden of noise but were replaced with a ghost town silence. I see Aidan go right towards Elijah while Raiden and Nate went to Luke who was on the left which left me alone in the bloody streets, I then began to sob on my walk to the other side of town and after 7 minutes of walking I come across an Intersection which had Changelings running towards a Bizarre building which had Riviera Hotel & Casino on the front of it but then I hear gunfire much closer than before which caught some in the fire causing them to fall motionless.
They sped toward the Casino and as soon as they entered they barricaded the front door, which was fast considering how big the objects were.
Nate's POV
We searched the building for another entrance but unfortunately, we did find bundles of TNT which was littered around the establishment so instead of we going in, they won't come out so we follow the wire which was attached to the blocks and after a 5-minute walk we reach a house which had the wire going through the front door, we enter and follow the wire upstairs which lead to a room that had a good view of the Casino and an old fashion detonator in the middle.
Everyone takes position in front of the window to watch the fireworks and I 'accidentally' leaned on the handle that was on top of the Detonator causing it to push down as I let out an "Oops" and after a few seconds a loud *BOOM* came from the casino as it proceeded to collapse to the ground.
Raiden's POV
A huge Grin appeared on my face as I watch the Casino Fall to the ground with dust and debris flying up from the base of the building. After the dust settled we exit the house and I radio Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy.
Rainbow Dash's POV
We waited for what felt like an hour in this hot metal box they call safety, Then after what seemed like an hour we hear a loud explosion from the city and after another minute I hear a voice come through the device that Raiden taught me how to use "Everything's clear, just try to avoid looking at the streets" so I press the button on the side "Ok we're coming and why do you not want to look at the streets" Then I release the button which caused a beep from the 'Walkie-Talkie', after a brief second Raiden's voice came through again "you'd know if you look but you don't want to know".
I toss the device away and get out of the car to the burning light of the sun, Fluttershy got out and covered her eyes with her hoof obviously blinded as well, we took flight when we got used to the sun but when we looked below I almost vomited at the sight of changelings laying dead in the road, Body parts were missing from the corpses as well as the blood that flooded the streets, I look over at Fluttershy who was looking with a blank face which was not normal.
We reach the town hall to see the 6 Humans sitting around the front door checking the equipment that they had, We touch down on a clean spot of cloud "WHAT THE BUCK DID YOU DO?!?" I yelled at Raiden, How can such a creature kill so guilt free. He stood up and walked over "Well what does this look like?" he said with a confused face, he was pulling the smart-flank attitude "Well it looks like a bucking blood bath, THERE WERE OTHER OPTIONS THAN KILLING THEM!" his face grew impatient "Oh yeah, Well what other options are there?" He said with a smug frown "WELL YOU COULD HAVE NEGOTIATED" he then laughed which confused me "Oh yeah and get attacked by the ruthless things, I don't think negotiations work for bugs" he almost yelled.
"You're a Monster" he froze then his face turned to pure anger which caused me to back up into the blood, "A monster? A MONSTER? WHAT HAPPENED WHEN YOU USED THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY HUH?" his statement made me feel ashamed "We failed and we didn't defeat Chrysalis" he stepped backward and said "Well there ya go, there are NO other options. If it wasn't for us you guys would be goners and I hate to see innocent hurt or be killed, those things have NO soul, NO guilt just pure evil" I started to feel the tears welling up in my eyes, he sighed "I'm sorry but do you think I enjoy killing, do you think any of us enjoy killing. we do what we do because we have no choice", he then stepped forward and pulled me into a hug.
"I will make your people happy but there will have to be a lot of sacrifices" he released me as I look at Fluttershy who was sobbing into Kyle's torso as he held her in his arm's, Then a golden flash appeared in front of us and there was the rest of my friends and Princess Celestia, I was going to say something but was cut off by multiple screams from the ponies who just arrived.
Raiden's POV
I gained a migrane from the ear piercing screams that came from the horrified ponies but I yelled "QUIET" everypony to turned their attention to me "I know you are terrified of the massacre that happened but there was nothing else we could do, they resorted to violence so we put down the threat" They were brushed aside from Celestia who still had a blank face but I could see it in her eyes: Anger, Greif, Regret but there was also hope then she spoke "Well we did try the Elements of Harmony a few times but all times were.... unsuccessful so I will have to accept that you're our only hope"
I smiled a little but then a hiss was heard as a Changeling came from nowhere and charged at me but I was fast enough to grip onto its horn and put it in a headlock, I twisted till I Felt and heard a sickening pop from the bug's neck as it fell limp. I dropped the body onto the ground and looked at the scared faces, I then walked past the ponies followed by my friends towards the truck to head back to Ponyville.
after the hour drive back I got out of the truck and set up a presentation about Human history from 1920 to 2017 and after the 30 minute set up the golden flash happened again and there was the Princess and the Mane 6 still somewhat shaken up by the sight of a massacre. Twilight then questioned "Whats with this equipment" I answer "I'm getting to that" I then press a key on my laptop and switch frames to the intro "Today I will be talking about human history starting from 1920 to 2017 aka present" I Talk to them all about Hitler, ISIS, WW1 and 2, etc.
Rarity then says "Good lord, you must have it hard deary", It was quiet then there was a knock at the door and Spike answered to see a Royal Guard come in and say "Princess, Your presence is required at the castle at once" Celestia complied and stepped out the door. "well any questions?" I ask but no responses so I pack everything up and put it in the truck which took a good 30 minutes again.
It was getting dark so I decided to head home with Rainbow Dash, after the silent 5-minute walk it was around 7:00 PM so I intended to go to sleep immediately, We enter the door and let Rainbow in first who still decides to keep silent. I walk in behind her and say "I'm sorry I yelled at you" she froze and looked at me with a smirk "it's ok I just never saw so much... death" she said with a sniffle, I followed her upstairs after we both ate a Salad. I reach her bedroom and she immediately slipped into bed, I followed along once I discarded my gear and the clothes that covered my scarred body, I laid my head down and I felt two hoofs cross over my back so I roll over to see Rainbow snuggle into my chest, I wrap my arms around her and fall unconscious.
