Where No Man Has Gone Before
You are Jason Queer, or as your friends like to call you, Jason Bourne and my partner in crime is EX-1938 or Xavier. You might be asking yourself "Why?". They call you that because you are the best hand-to-hand combat specialist in the fleet. You are a pale white, 22 year old man with short black hair and blue eyes that would make sapphires jealous. You joined up when you were only 18, but you quickly climbed the ranks to the youngest pilot ever. When the fleet found out about the Ark, you and Xavier were tasked with breaching the northern perimeter. Lets just say one of us didn’t make it out in one piece. You were dealing with a Ronin and Northstar at the time until a Scorcher came up from behind and slammed your titan into a sharp rock formation. Your titan was going to send destruct soon and you needed to get the core before you leave. NO ONE gets left behind, especially friends! As soon as you got the SEAR kit, you hijacked a shuttle to get back to the fleet.
Needless to say, it was a COMPLETE failure. But when you put in a request to get a new Vanguard, it was denied by the higher ups. You were furious until they told you what they were planning, which were to give you the new top-of-the-line Expedition titan. This titan is designed to carry two primaries, a giant sword, supplies, and multiple subsystems along with a best friend! It looked like a cross between a Vanguard and a Legion, its legs, arms, and chassis looks like a Legion while it was tall like a Vanguard. You were ecstatic about this and you took no time in placing Xavier back into a chassis. When he came back online, he and you got used to the new chassis we had and as soon as that was done we reported back to the higher ups. You had him fitted with a XO-06 chaingun and a 40mm tracker cannon with a 3-D printer on the back for ammunition.
Right now in the present time, you are currently on a ship to take Troy. Yeah, you’re so excited to use this thing! It was 30 seconds to titanfall and you were waiting for that fateful moment to go to battle.
" 20 seconds to titanfall! " The intercom said as we neared our drop sight. There were several other pilots here, but none of them had an Expedition.
" 10 seconds to titanfall! " The intercom said over the clanking of metal and boots. You got inside your titan and awaited titanfall.
" Welcome back, Jason. I’ve missed you. " Xavier said in his usual robot serious tone with a hint of sarcasm (Just imagine BT for now.). You swear, these robots are becoming more sentient by the month.
"Yeah yeah, I missed you to, buddy. Be a pal and make sure you dont blow up again." You chuckled with the reply.
" Affirmative, that would be advisable." You give a short laugh.
"If I have to pull your ass out of the wreckage again, your going to buy me drinks one day."
" Correction: My ass would be too heavy for you to carry, thus I will never buy you a drink." You give a snort and wave your hand in amusement.
"You and your corrections can kill an entire system."
" Prepare for titanfall!" A couple of seconds later we were jettisoned from the ship and down to the planet surface. Your titan broke the sound barrier and quickly crashed onto the surface.
As you were getting up, your motion sensors were picking up several titans on their way here. You waited for the others to join you before charging out to meet the enemy titans. As soon as they crested the green hill, all hell broke loose. You were using my 40mm to snipe any ground troops that were trying to get over here until there was movement next to you. You had no time to react as a cloaked fist slammed into your chassis, thankfully the shield held up. You whirled around with your titan’s blade in hand and gave a diagonal strike into the enemy Ronins shoulder. It took little effort to sever it and punch a hole in its head, killing the pilot within. With that done you swiveled back around while simultaneously magnetizing the sword to the titan and pulling out your XO-chaingun. You scanned the battlefield for possible targets until your sights landed upon a spare Northstar that was sniping from afar. You used your dashes to get over to it quickly before it got the chance to fire and unloaded my entire clip into the head of the cockpit, again killing the pilot inside. As you turned around, Xavier grabbed your attention.
" Jason, there is a missile heading towards the battlefield. Recommend doing something. "
"No shit!" You looked at the missile coming towards us. There was no way that we could get away in time, so you picked the most cliché thing in existence. You were going to sacrifice yourself for your brothers-in-arms and there was no stopping you. You ran and ran towards the missile. Towards your death. But you weren’t going to die alone; Xavier is with you every step of the way. As we got to the point of interception, we waited for the time to be right.
" It has been an honor being your titan, Pilot Jason Queer. It has been a greater honor being your friend. " The missile was getting closer.
"It was an honor being your pilot and friend, EX-1938. I’ve always thought of you as my BIG brother and ill be seeing you in heaven, my friend." The missile was seconds away.
" Ill be waiting with that drink." He managed to say before launching us into the path of the missile. It impacted with the front of the chassis, but instead of a giant explosion, there was a gigantic black mass that expanded upon impact. Within seconds, it consumed you and Xavier before collapsing on itself, sending them to god knows where.... ( Does this make me god? )
You woke up in the cockpit with alarms blaring and the feeling of weightlessness. "Xavier what the fuck is going on?!" no response "Xavier?!"
" Prepare for titanfall... "
" OH SHI- " You were knocked unconscious from the impact, leaving Xavier to handle things....
Canterlot throne room
No nobles. That’s all Celestia can think about as she stared at the door, waiting for her moment of peace to end. She was on her throne with her niece, Princess Cadance, right next to her in a large chair, waiting for the day of babbling nobles to begin. That WAS the plan until a giant metal monster crashed through the roof and into the middle of the throne room. Celestia took a defensive stance, preparing to fight this metal being, while Cadance stood there with a look of concern and fear on her face. As the dust cleared, they saw the being encompassed by a glowing, hexagonal force field. A closer look told Celestia that this thing obviously was wearing armor or is not organic because it had no signs of life on it, not even a magical signature. She slowly stepped forward towards the creature until it suddenly stood up to its full height, which went all the way to the ceiling. Its force field dropped and it looked at Celestia with its glowing blue eye.
" Initiating first contact protocol: Greetings, I am EX-1938, a titan created to be linked with a pilot. Unfortunately, our unexpected crash has knocked my pilot unconscious. Are you friendly? I suggest you use your words wisely because I was created to protect. " It warned before a laser shot from its eye and started scanning Celestia. She in turn jumped back in surprise, but the laser followed her and proceeded to scan her. " Analysis complete: Alicorn, anthropomorphic in appearance, multi-colored main and tail, approximately weighs 158.757 kilograms " Celestia shot the titan an annoyed glare " and regalia represents a status of royalty. " Celestia and Cadance were wide-eyed and staring at the titan in awe. Celestia snapped out of her reverie and put on a hard glare.
"Why have you broken into my palace?" She asks calmly yet sternly.
" A thousand apologies for the roof. Hypothesis: We have been transported to a different plain of existence by a black hole. Scans indicate that my pilot is going to need that drink when he wakes up." Xavier answers in his robotic voice. Comprehension dawns on Celestia as Cadance steps in front of the metal giant with concern on her face.
"Where is your pilot? He might need medical help!" She pleads.
" Negative, he does not require aid. As for where he is, he is inside my chamber. " He points at his chest to where Jason was. Cadance exhaled in relief, she hated when somepony gets hurt.
"Would you like to stay here until your pilot wakes up?" She asks in a curious tone.
"Affirmative, it might take some time for pilot Jason Queer to wake up." Cadance grows a huge smile on her face.
"Great! I can’t wait to meet him!" She says excited by the prospect of meeting an alien. An ALIEN!
TO BE CONTINUED....
Where No Man Has Gone Before
Xavior had just gotten finished with explaining the war on the frontier and telling the tales of Jason and Xavior, but since him and Jason are stuck here, the war cant effect them in the slightest. Celestia was disgusted by the IMC and their atrocities and Cadance was just horrified about what the pilot has gone through since the age of 18! 18! She silently vowed to make sure that this 'human' would be as comfortable here as possible. After that, the Princesses canceled day court and after the day went out, they went to bed. Except that Cadance came back to the now powered down titan and waited for this human to leave his chamber.
"ugh...What the hell happened?" You said as you grabbed your smart pistol and G2A4 battle rifle.
"Welcome back, Pilot Jason." Xavior greets.
"What happened, Xavior?" You ask, still drousy from your unconcious state.
1 explanation later
"Well...sure as hell beats being dead" You say plainly after Xavior explains the situation. Actually, your not really put off by this. You just got sucked into a blackhole, saved all your comrades from possible death, and survived. So yeah, you arent really fazed about being on a different plane of existence, though being on a planet of ponies is off-putting. Hell, you should be dead. Your not complaining.
"I suggest to get ready for your meeting with Princess Cadance because she is waiting outside." You take a moment to steel yourself before continuing.
"Fuck it, lets do this." You say before the hatch opens up, revealing a snoozing pink anthropomorphic pony with lilac, gold, and purple mane and tail and has a pair of wings along with a horn. She was also wearing pink PJ's with blue hearts on them, which you thought was actually kinda cute. It fit her form perfectly, showing off her excellent curves and her hourglass shape with her D-cup breasts. You feel like an absolute pervert staring at her 'assets', but daaaaaamn. "Ahem!" You clear your throat loudly to get her attention. She jumps up from the floor with a 'EEP!' and stays in the air for a little bit by flapping her large pink wings. You decided you shouldn't terrify the already scared girl in front of you any more than you already have, so you spoke in a low, gentle voice.
"You have been waiting for me?" She nodded. "Are you Cadance?" She nods again. "Well hello then, im Major Jason Queer, at your service." You say with a deep bow. Cadance blushes a deep crimson and floats back down in front of you to introduce herself.
"I am Princess Cadance, the Princess of love. And you dont need to worry about regulations and formalities around me, Jason." She says with a curtsy and a giggle. That was a really cute giggle.
"Very well then, how much of our universe has Xavior told you?" You ask, hoping he hasnt told her about them. You feel a ping of sadness thinking about them.
"He told us about your war and some of the battles you two have done. Honestly, I cant believe they allowed you to join at 18!" She yells frustratedly.
"Normaly they wouldn't...." You say under your breath. "Yeah I know but I survived and I climbed the ranks quickly." You answer, sounding uncomfortable talking about the subject of how you joined up. It is....still a sensitive topic. "So, where is this 'Celestia' at? I was told she was talking with Xavior." You ask, trying to divert the subject.
Cadance gives a radiant smile. "Oh, she is sleeping right now and nothing is going to wake her up." She flashes a micheveous smile "That is, no-one ALIVE will be able to wake her up." She giggles into her hand at the last part. Looks like your gonna have to wait. "Come with me and ill show you to the guest rooms." She offers, but you will be staying with your titan, thank you very much. They act like I havent watched Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and im not gonna make the same mistake.
"Sorry, but ill be staying with Xavior. Thank you nonetheless." She deflated just a bit, but was still chipper like she always is.
"Ok. Ill be back in the morning. And dont worry about the guards, we relieved them of their throne room guard duties. Ta-ta~" She muses before disappearing in a flash, startling you in the process. *sigh* This is gonna take some getting used to. You walk back to your titan and climb in for some nice sleep....
You woke up with a start, hearing an earpiercing scream from outside the titan. You immediatley power up your titan and pull out the chaingun, ready to kill. Except that there wasnt anyone else in the room except am alabaster unicorn with a gold mane and tail wearing a white two piece suit with a red bowtie. The fact was that HE was male, not a female.
"Monster! Assassin! Thief! HELP!!" He wailed.
"What are you doing here? You are not allowed in this throne room." You say through the robotic voice. But before you could carry on, several guards ran into the room and tried to surround you. They were unsuccessful as you grab them one by one and throw them into each other. You slam your metal arms into a group of guards, sending them flying into the opposite wall.
"AUNTY!!" The stallion cried again. Instead of a crackpot old woman, an alabaster alicorn with a multicolored mane and tail, both flowing in the wind, appeared. She looked pissed. She looked at the brat, then to the guards, then to you. She went from pissed to even more pissed.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING XAVIOR?!!" She yelled at unimaginable volume. Before I could respond however, Xavior interjects.
"Protocol 3: Protect the pilot. I am protecting my pilot from a high probability of harm." Her gaze softened a bit, but then got even angrier when she turned to face the prick who started this.
"YOU WERE TOLD NOT TO COME IN HERE BY ME AND CADANCE!!! DO YOU THINK YOURSELF HIGHER AUTHORITY THAN I, PRINCESS CELESTIA??!!!" She screams at the now quivering and sobbing mess of fur on the ground.
"n-n-n-no?"
"LIES!! I WILL DEAL WITH YOU LATER!" She yells before slamming her foot(hoof?) on the ground, teleporting the unknown stallion to god knows where (Id like to imagine him suffering in tartarus, but we all know that can't happen). Celestia sits on her throne, massaging her temples as her horn lights up and all the injured guards disappeared. "That was Equestrias finest, y'know. You are causing me more headaches than I thought you would, Xavior." She groans.
"Join the club, sweetheart." She looks at you puzzled. "Greetings, oh so powerful Celestia, I am Major Jason Queer." Her eyes widen and her mouth forms an 'O' shape.
"Well then, greetings and sorry for the rude wake up, that was my nephew, Blueblood." Her lip curled at the name "He has been a headache since he was born." She groaned into her hand. You chuckle at the poor girls' suffering.
"Well if it makes you feel better, I know how you feel. There were a lot of whiners in the Militia, and there still are.....or was." Celestia looked at the titan with sympathy and worry.
"Can I meet you face to face? I dont like that your using Xavior as a barrier." You sigh and open the hatch. As you step out, she looked at you in wonder and awe.
"What are you wearing?" She asks curiously.
"This is my combat gear and my helmet is what links me to my titan. None of my normal uniform can be changed, or else I will lose all combat efficiency. I can take it off when im off duty, but I will still keep a weapon on me at all times." You explained to her. She continues to ask you questions about you and your titan until there are several bangs on the door. You assume the worst and bring your battle rifle to eye level and pointed it at the door.
"Princess! Are you alright in there?! I was just told about the monster and were coming in!" A masculine voice says from the other side. Before Celestia could protest, the door burst open and dozens upon dozens of guards spilled in. Xavior took action and picked you up and shoved you into the cockpit, ready for round 2. A guard with a two-toned blue mane and tail wearing purple armor steps forward from the guards.
"Surrender, monster! Or be destroyed!" Xaviors only response is a battle stance. You were not going to let these assholes get their greedy goddamn hands on your titan! But before you can absolutely obliterate them, Celestia uses her magic and freezes them all and tries to freeze you in the process, except that your titans shield stopped it, but it made the titan stumble to one knee. All the guards stare with shock and hurt at the princess.
"You will all stand down at once! This is a guest from another world and a completely different species! You will respect them and you WILL listen to them! Am I understood, Captain Shining Armor?!" Celestia declares, her eyes completely white.
"Yes, your highness." He says meekly. After he said that, Celestia calmed down and sat back down onto her throne while sending the guards out. You check the scanners to see if theres still a threat, then get out and continue talking to Celestia.
"Anyways, im going to need a job and a place to stay if im going to live here, and the only job im willing to apply for is a military job or contract. So how about it?" You ask her as she puts a finger on her chin to think for a moment.
"I dont have anything for you and Xavior off the top of my head, but ill gladly look into it if thats okay with you."
"Sure. Not like were going anywhere." You say, bored at the concept of waiting. A solid minute of awkward silence goes by and you decide to stop it.
"So, wheres Cadance?" You ask her. You kinda miss the chipper and loving feeling she brings when shes around, she must be the life of the party.
"I think shes in her room, pacing like she always does when theres something stressful going on." She replies with a sigh, obviously meaning she can be a handful sometimes.
"Would it be okay if I go talk to her? She seems to be quite the friendly gal." You and Celestia share a chuckle, then she points down the hall.
"Her quarters will be down the hall and to the left, good luck." She said as she winked at me. You didnt know what she meant by that, but you carry on unfazed. When you are walking down the halls, you can see the beautiful art lining the walls. You've always been a sucker for art, but that might be because you have been across the galaxy. When you finally came to the giant pink and gold doors you hear sobbing from inside.
Fearing the worst, you pull out your smart pistol and program it to target non-lethal areas of the body. You slowly open the door with your smart pistol in a sideways position and move through the room. As you come to a corner, you silently peer around the corner and see Cadance on her bed sobbing into her arm. Seeing no threats in the room, you put your weapon away and go over to Cadance. She doesnt notice you until you wrap an arm around her shoulders and pull her into a hug.
She continues to sob into your shoulder for a little while until she brings her tear stained face up to see the outside of your helmet. "W-w-why are y-you here?" She asks in a trembling voice. You start gently patting her back.
"I came here to talk with you about what im gonna do, though now im here to help you with whatever has happened. So tell me, what has happened?" She looked into my face and steadied herself.
"T-the n-nobles have been nothing but aweful with me since I stepped up in helping my auntie with ruling!" You glance over to her nightstand and see several open letters. Reading the top one, it was saying things like 'you are a complete failure and a disgrace to equestria' and 'you are a harlot of a princess!'. You honestly would burn those letters with your eyes if you could, but sadly tis not to be. You soothe the sobbing Cadance in your arms until she spoke up again. "A-and then B-Blueblood said that m-my parents would never have wanted me!" She wails before going back to sobbing into your shoulder. You probably would have scared her with the thoughts that are swimming in your head right now, like the best way to kill Blueballs. You dont have parents, so finding out about someone else being abused because of having no parents sets your blood on fire.
"Sssshhhh, its okay. Im here. Im here." You soothe her as she lets out her woes into your chest. After awhile, she calms down enough to talk and you reach up to expose your pale white skin and your stunning blue eyes. "Y'know I lost my parents a long time ago." As soon as you say this she lifts her head up and stares into your eyes.
"Really?" She says sadly.
"Yah. Let me tell you the story." You wanted to get this off your chest, it was recommended by several medics that you just needed to talk about it to get rid of the grief.
"You dont have to if you dont want to." She sniffs as you stare into her loving, compasionate lilac eyes.
"No, I've bottled up my emotions for too long." You take a moment to ready yourself for the onslaught of emotions. "It all started 7 years ago-"
"That was when you were 18!" She points out.
"Yes, this is also how I joined up. So back to what I was saying, it was 7 years ago. There was an attack on my home world, Harmony, and the IMC were dropping from the skies as I ran back to my house." You remember the drop pod full of spectres go through the roof of an apartment complex, where they through the residents over the balconys and shot everyone inside. One spectre actually ripped open a civilian with its own hands when the civilian jumped it. You can still feel the scar of seeing the entrails strewn on the ground in your mind. "I remember seeing a drop pod crash through a roof and the spectres inside killing all the civilians." Cadance gave a sharp gasp. You then remeber the feeling of helplessness when you saw that. "But they were beyond my help, I had to get to my family before they ended up like them, so I ran back towards my house. When I turned the next corner, there were two older modeled titans, an Ogre and an Atlas, that were brawling in the square where my house was." You remember seeing the Militia Atlas throw punches at the Ogre until they went into an all out brawl of giants. The Ogre was going to shoot the Atlas until the latter brought its fist up and collided with the barrel sending the shot at your house. You take a deep breathe for the blow. "When I ran towards the square, a stray 40mm shell collided with my house and it imploded." You can visualy see the house collapse as you stood there, watching as your entire went up in a plume of fire. You felt the sting of tears in your eyes. "I was beyond horrified when I ran over to my burning wreckage of a house. But before I could run into the wreckage to save my family, I was held back by a couple Militia riflemen who were trying to stop me from killing myself in the fire. I can still hear my little sisters screams in the fire. I remember struggling against the riflemen who were dragging me into a gunship." You tried desperatly to seperate yourself from the rifleman carrying you as you see the silhouette of your sister being consumed by fire, her skin melting away by its touch. Tears were falling freely from your eyes. "I-I remember the guilt and depression I felt from it. As soon as I got to the Militia headquarters, I damn near beat the recruiter into letting me join to kill those bastards that killed my family." Indeed, when you got to the Militia headquarters, you held the recruiter against the wall until he approved you. You think he did it to pity you, but you know he did it to get another soldier for the army, thats his job. As you cry, Cadance holds you as you now cry into her shoulder while her own tears flow.
"Im so sorry." Cadance whispers into your ear.
"Ive bottled it up for so long. I can finally leave this grief in the past. Thank you for listening." you whisper as you feel another pair of arms wrap around you as you cried.
"Let it all out, let it all out now. You will never experience something like that in Equestria ever again. I will make sure of it." You hear Celestis say as you felt her own tears splash on your head. After a couple of minutes of crying, you regain composure and look back at Celestia.
"How long have you been here?" You ask with a steady voice.
"I heard everything, but don't worry. Everything is safe with me. I have also come to a conclusion to what your job will be." She says business-like.
"And?"
"You and your titan will be Princess Mi Amora Cadenza's bodyguards." I stare at her in disbelief, then it turns into a wide smile. "With the nobles acting like this, she will need protection. Not only that, but she will also need friends to help her along the way. Do you accept?"
"I accept, your highness." I turn back to the now beaming Cadance. "I will see you later, right now I have to work some things out with Xavior." She nods and I make for the door, but was stopped by Celestia.
"There is also a house in a very secluded part of Canterlot where you can stay, it needs some TLC though." She giggles. You just roll your eyes and go to Xavior to work out food and ammunition.
TO BE CONTINUED....
Where No Man Has Gone Before
I worked out the problem with food and ammo, Xavior can just fabricate them. It's not as good as the real deal, but it will do. I am currently on my way to the dining hall to meet with everyone else. Oh and me and Xavior planned a little something for Blueblood. Hehehe... Anyways I was at the doors of the dining hall, Xavior cramped in right behind me. I push open the doors to see a humongous table that looked like it could serve at least 50 peo-er-ponies at it. Cadance and Celestia were sitting at one end of the table, the latter giving me a beaming smile, and at the other end was Blueblood. I grin under my helmet and choose to sit in the middle with Xavior.
Cadance and Celestia were both sad that I wouldn't sit next to them, so they came over to me in the middle of the table. Though Cadance would rather be as far away from Blueblood as possible, she knew he wouldn't dare verbally assault her while I was in the room. Blueblood on the other hand had different plans.
"So, why does this peasant have the audacity to be in the dining hall?" He sneered at me, who was going to put his plan into action soon.
"I am no mere peasant, I am a soldier, a man. It's a step up from whatever you are." I quip back.
"I am a Prince! You are just a lowlife who spends his time with a nobody." He jeers at Cadance and I.
"On the contrary, he has far more experience than you and has a far better prowess than what i've analysed about you." Xavior cuts in.
"Are you calling me an idiot?!" Blueblood screamed while slamming his fists onto the table.
"No, im calling you deficient." Blueblood lost his cool and shot a spell at the titan, which was deflected by the shields. Xavior ignored this and carried on talking with a stunned Cadance. "How did today go for you, mistress Cadance?" He said while a red faced Blueblood shot spell after spell at Xavior.
Cadance blushed at being called mistress. "I-it went alright I guess, nobody really asks me about that except auntie." She smiled at Celestia, who smiled back. "So, do you think anything else from your universe will come by accident?"
"I hope not, but in the case that it does happen, I need to depart immediately to retrieve it before anyone else touches it. God knows what will happen if an indigenous lifeform gets their hands on a rifle." (God might do it for the lols) "I hope understand my plight, if anyone gets their hands on that technology, it would mean another frontier war." The princesses looked sad, but nodded in understanding. "Good. Now, how goes today with you Celestia?" I ask.
"Oh, the nobles were off the charts today about "the mysterious object that fell through the sky", it was honestly a nightmare." She groaned while a newspaper was levitated over to me in the grasp of golden magic. Sure enough, my titan was falling from the sky on fire on the front page. I feel guilty for putting her through this, but before I could say anything about it, she cuts me off. "There is no need for you to make it up to me, it will be better if you stayed away from the nobles for right now." I nod in acknowledgement. Celestia just noticed that I wasn't eating anything. "Do you need any food, Jason?" She asks with general concern.
"No, I'm just waiting to eat my meal away from herbivores." I warn.
"Oh, I see." She says with a slight grimace. Cadance didn't mind, but she still was not a fan of someone killing to survive. I then turn my attention back to the panting Blueblood.
"Had enough, asshole?" I hiss at him.
"I will...never submit...to you animals!" He says between breaths. That was all I needed to hear.
"Xavior, I think I would like dinner. A nice well done steak with some jerky." I ask my partner in crime, who created authentic meat from his 3D printer. I grab it and start eating it by hand, purposefully making it look grotesque to a certain pony. I tear into the steak with my teeth and hum in pleasure as the amazing taste of meat comes to me. "Hey Blueblood, your looking a little green over there buddy." I call out to him. As soon as I pull out a bone, he fainted and I started laughing my ass off.
"Mission success." Xavior stated with a hint of amusement in his voice.
"You're goddamn right! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" I say before bursting into more fits of laughter. After I had calmed down, I told Celestia that I could eat both meat and plants, but meat is my source of protein.
"I suppose it's understandable." She says nervously.
"By the way, when can I be expected tomorrow?" I ask curiously.
"Oh, you can at nine o'clock in the morning after ive freshened up." Cadance informed. Good, that plays well with my schedule.
"Well, I think I'll head off to bed now, goodnight." I called out before climbing into Xavior and falling asleep.
"Are you sure he can sleep in here?" Cadance asks Celestia who shrugged in response.
"Pilot...Pilot...Pilot..." I hear Xavior calling me, waking me up. I groan as you rise into a more comfortable position, that's when I notice Xavior using his sensor darts....and there were pings.
"What's the situation, Xavior?" I ask, confused as to why there were pings near Cadances bedroom. I grab my rifle and holster my smart pistol, then hop out of Xavior.
"Unknown bird contacts converging on Cadances position stealthily. Recommend caution with confrontations." He stated. I continue down the hallways with my smart pistol out in the sideways grip in front of me until I heard voices from around the corner.
"Remember, ~~no russian~~ we are here for the stupid Cadance girl, don't fuck up!" A voice said in a harsh whisper. I guess i'm cleared hot. I peek around the corner to see at least four griffons down the hallway, one them just stepped over a guards dead body. Oh hell no!
"Xavior, circle around outside Cadances window. Hurry!" I whisper into my internal helmet mic. I push up in a crouched position and threw a pot onto the floor behind them. When they turned around, I struck. My hud lit up with the tracking painting targets, and once they were locked onto all four heads, I pulled the trigger. A four burst shot erupted from my gun with a loud couple of bangs and they hit their targets with sickening crunches of skulls shattering. I quickly run over their lifeless corpse' and shoot down the hallways to Cadances room, and as soon as I got there the door was open. I holster my pistol and bring out my knife to fasten it upon the end of my rifle.
I silently crept through the open door and into the room and I started hearing muffled screams. I took a glance into the bedroom and I saw Cadance, bound and gagged, being carried by a griffon. I was not going to let them get her, not today. "As soon as I kill the first guy, I want you to light up this room, k?" I whispered into my internal helmet mic. There was no response, but I didn't need one so I lined up a shot on the griffon carrying Cadance. 3...2...1...BANG!! *Muffled scream* THUMP! Cadance fell to the floor with the body of the griffon and as soon as the griffon dropped, the entire room light up with gunfire. Xavior was outside with his chaingun shooting through the walls and killing the griffons. They were being ripped to ribbons, blood was spraying, bone was pulverized, death was feasting. The gunfire finally stopped after 30 seconds straight of it and I quickly got up and ran over to Cadance. She was a quivering mess and was sobbing uncontrollably, I hate seeing pretty girls cry. I tapped her shoulder and she turned her tear stained face to mine and jumped onto me in a giant hug."Sh sh sh, it's ok, i'm here now so you have nothing to worry about. Me and Xavior won't let you go without a fight, you mark my words. They'll have to kill me first." I sooth the sobbing Cadance in my arms. A couple minutes later and she asleep in my arms.
