Unknown: Unknown, Unknown

I've been in this room for little over half an hour now. After the interrogation, they re-blindfolded me and led me here. The room is extremely large with a single door on each side and a table in the middle containing all of my gear that I arrived here with. I walked to my gear to check that it was all still there. Yup, It was all there, thank god they had no idea what kind of ordinance I had with me. There came a stern voice over head. "Listen up, Human" he said it with such distaste that I found my self gripping my rifle even tighter with each word. "We are going to test you to see exactly what you can do. On each wall is a door. These doors will open and a group of changelings will come out and attack you. A changeling is a creature that can take the form of any pony or animal, they have blue eyes and bug like wings." Those sounded a lot like what I faced in the alley way. Now I know why they gave me my gear, they aren't just interested in me, they're interested in seeing what these do also. "We explained to the changelings that if they were able to kill you, they could be set free. If not, then they die."

"Oh fuck you! You expect me to fight a group of these things? I barely lasted against five of them!" I knew that if cornered, a wounded animal will fight back.

"Silence!" The sound made my ears ring. "If you live, then maybe you can help us and in return, we can help you." I stayed silent. The doors opened and a single changeling came out of each door. They approached slowly, fangs bared. They surrounded me and started walking circles around me, looking for a weakness. then they pounced all at once. I took aim and blew one out of the air and blew off one of the others legs. Blood and tissue stained the wall behind it. The last two came up behind and tackled me knocking away my rifle. I then pulled my pistol out but one of the changelings bit my wrist and around the gun. "Aww fuck!" The changelings teeth sank into my wrist. The other one tried biting at my neck, but I punched it in the muzzle and it flew back a few feet. I grabbed my knife with my other hand and stabbed the beast in the neck, blood squirting on my face. The creature let out a scream, letting go of my arm as blood shot out of it's mouth. I pulled my knife out and thrust it into it's chest and it fell down, dead.

I got back up and saw the last changeling getting ready to attack. It jumped and I managed to catch it by it's neck. It let out a surprised gasp as i squeezed it's neck hearing the audible crack and popping noises of it's trachea being crushed. I let out a final grunt before I stabbed it in the side of the head, it's eyes rolling up into the back of it's head, jaw opening. I threw it to the ground with a loud thud. "Is that all?" I was tired and angry.

"No." said the voice

"What do you mean "no"!?" I was getting pissed off now. I had done everything they had asked of me, I had killed the changelings. I had shown them what my gear could do. what more could they need?

"There is still one more changeling alive." I heard grunting behind me. I looked back and saw the a changeling on the floor missing one leg and it's wings looked as if they had been crushed. It was trying to crawl away.

"Please, no." The thing pleaded with me. "I don't want to die." It tried getting up but collapsed.

"Kill it." The voice said it so calmly that even I was thrown off guard.

"No." I had killed wounded people before, but this was crazy. The people I killed never showed fear, never backed down. But this thing was trying to get away from me. Tears were falling down it's face, staining the floor. It was acting like I was the monster. "I won't kill it. It's wounded and trying to get away from me."

"Please don't kill me. I beg of you." The changeling stopped crawling and looked up at me.

"You will kill it or we will kill you." I had to consider my options. Either kill it, or we kill you. "Your choice."

"Fine, I'll do it." I didn't want to die, but I knew that if I didn't do it, then they would. There was no way out for the changeling.

"No no no, please." It started crawling away at a faster pace now. I started walking towards it. I looked at it as it tried getting away from me. Tears streaming down it's face, it tried to get away. I reached the changeling and grabbed it's hind leg, pulling it upside down. "NO! LET GO!" It started trying to kick at me.

"I'm sorry." Was all i muttered before I raised my knife and shoved it into the changelings stomach. The changeling screamed as I ran my knife down all the way to its chest. I saw the life drain from it's eyes and dropped it. Organs falling onto the floor as it hit the ground. I looked away in disgust. I puked all over the floor when I looked back down to see my handiwork. "Jesus Christ." I dropped my knife and fell to my knees.

"That wasn't so hard, now, was it?" Why does the voice have to be so condescending? one of the doors opened to show a small horse with silver armor on it's body. "Come, Princess Celestia is awaiting your arrival." That must be the name of the bigger horse I saw earlier.

I'm brought through these massive doors to a grand hall with two thrones at the end. The big horse is sitting on one of the thrones.

"I'm glad to see that you survived that little test." She showed no emotion in her voice.

"Little test? You mean that shit show that I just went through." I felt something against my neck. I looked down to see a tiny guard horse holding a spear against my jugular.

"I understand that you are shocked and angry right now, but we had to see exactly what humans are capable of. We had to see if you are up for the task."

"The task of what?" I wanted to know why I was so important that I needed to be used for this task. "Why am I so important."

"I have a pupil named Twilight Sparkle, she is in the small town of Ponyville. She has been sent there to make friends with some of the civilians down there." Why was she telling me about this? "My pupil has been able to fight off evil after evil that has attacked that town."

"Then why do you need me? If she is so good at keeping that town safe, then why me?" I needed some answers fast because I was about to snatch that spear out of the air and use it.

"While my pupil is great, she is not ready for the other types of assignments I have." What other assignments could there possibly be?

"These these are the type of assignments that require a little bit more...force than friendship."
