Equestria: Canterlot, 1 week after take down of KKEP

I awoke to the sound of an explosion and immediate screams. I ran to the window to see what was going on outside and saw pegasi flying over head throwing molotovs at the castle and around canterlot. After my Op with that young pegasi, we hadn't seen much activity. We thought that they had been scared off. They must see this as an opportunity to show their power. I suited up and grabbed my rifle and loaded the new magazine that Celestia had given me. It was now blue and had a picture of the moon on it instead of it's normal black color. My rifle immediately started glowing and changed colors. It was now a mix of purple and blue with a few stars shown on the stock and sight. I looked in awe as it changed, this must have been a gift from the princess of the night.

BOOM

No time to stare, I had to go down and defend the citizens. I was curious what my M4 could do now. I ran down the stairs and out the big wooden doors to the throne room. I saw ponies running and screaming. Guards ponies began ushering ponies inside. I ran around a corner and saw a Pony with a pink coat and blue mane on fire trying to put herself out, her screams drowning out my thoughts, i ran to her and tried to pat her down.

"OH MY CELESTIA, PLEASE HELP ME!!!!" Her screams were making my ears hurt. The smell of burnt flesh and burning hair stung in my nostrils. I saw a bucket of water nearby and dowsed her with it, The flames left her now blackened fur I held her head up trying to comfort her.

"Your'e going to be ok." I looked down at her, her eyes looking up into mine.

"P-please find my d-daughter and *Cough*." blood flew from her mouth and onto my hand. "Tell h-her I l-love her."

"I will, whats her name?" I looked into her eyes, they were a stunning lavender.

"Her name is S-Sco*Cough*" She coughed more blood onto my hand. "Scoot...aloo..." she stopped breathing in my arms and I gently laid her head back down and using my fingers, I gently closed both of her eyes.

"I'm sorry." I got up and looked around to see ponies still running around. I stared in disbelief at a pony who was missing his front left leg. His white coat was stained with blood and his red mane was all messed up. He was walking calmly and looked down to see his leg. He picked it up in his mouth and began walking around again before he was crushed by a falling piece of the tower. I grabbed a guards pony and pulled him close to me, his eyes showing confusion and fear. "Get the wounded inside and shut the door!" He nodded and gathered more of his soldiers.

"Get the wounded inside and shut the door!" Once he and his soldiers got everybody inside, I began to make my way down town. I ran past building after building, most with their windows blown out and some burning to the ground. I turned down an alley way and came out to see a five pegasi punching and kicking an older unicorn. I was about to stop them when I heard a small voice. "Hey, st-stop that!"

I looked to see where the voice was coming from and saw a small pegasus. Her mane was purple and her coat was orange. she stood with confidence even though her voice didn't show it. The five older pegasi stopped beating the older unicorn and focused on the small pegasus before them.

"What the fuck did you just say?" There leader slowly started walking towards her holding a knife in his hoof.

"St-stop hitting her, she didn't do anything wrong why are you doing this?" She stepped back, her confidence leaving her.

He pounced on her. "You dare to defend this filth, when we, your very own kind are trying to help you?" He pulled her by her wings and threw her against wall. "OOF!" He approached her low to the ground.

"You know boys, I always did like them young." His face stretched wide into a grin. His buddies then formed behind him smiles growing on their faces. The little pegasus filly looked at them with horror as she slowly got up. She tried to run, her pursuers giving chase. she started flapping her wings, lifting off the ground about a foot before falling back down to the ground. "No, get away from me!" She was tackled to the ground and her face was forced into the ground by the leader. "I'm gonna enjoy this."

BANG

He fell down off the pegasus filly, blood flying from head. His buddies looked my way, surprise clearly shown on their faces. The muzzle flash from my M4 was no longer a bright yellowish white, but was now a bluish purple hue. I had no time to think about that. "You ponies are sick fucks!" I slowly approached them. "You attack a town and beat up old ponies, and then you try and rape a young filly?! Who the fuck does that?!" I strapped my M4 to my back and pulled out my knife, I was going to enjoy every cut I gave these sick bastards.

"Get him!" The pegasi rushed me, and pounced. I grabbed one of the pegasi by the wing and immediately snapped one of his wings. I smiled as he screamed. I threw him to the ground as another one came at me. This time i just thrust my knife into it's forehead. He didn't make a sound as he fell to the floor. The last two got a flying start and hit me, knocking me to the ground. I grabbed for the nearest thing to me, which was a the leg of the pegasus who's wing i broke. he let out a surprised gasp as I brought him up and swung. -CRACK- I saw the pegasi I hit fly into some boxes. I dropped him and grabbed my pistol, grabbed the last pegasus by the throat and unloaded five rounds into it's abdomen, slowly shooting up it's body till the last round went through it's head and into the wall behind it. I holstered my gun and grabbed my knife and walked over to the boxes and pulled up the still stunned pegasi and slit it's throat. I then walked over to the pegasus I used to swing. I him by his good wing and told him a message.

"Tell your 'friends' that ARES is coming for them." I then threw him to the ground. he got up and ran a way. I turned back to the pegasus filly. her head still in the ground. She slowly looked me, her purple eyes looking into mine. I saw fear turn to relief. I leaned down and slowly picked her up, my arms wrapping around her body. "My name is Daniel Armstrong, I'm here to get you to safety" She shoved her muzzle into my chest. "Thank you for saving me." I was taken aback. I thought back to when I was back with my daughter, Kate.

Earth: Colorado, 2003

I'm back at my home in Colorado, I just got back from my second tour in Iraq. I ran to my wife and embraced her. My daughter came running out of the door. "Daddy!" I ran to her and picked her up, tears streaming down my face. She stuck her face into my chest and started crying.

"It's alright, daddy's here." A tear ran down my cheek. I had been doing nothing but getting shot at and the stress was starting to take it's toll. I looked at a picture of my daughter every chance I got.

Equestria: Canterlot, End of KKP attack.

"Mr."
"Mr."
"Mr. are you alright?" I snapped back to reality. I looked down at the little filly I was cradling in my arms. A tear streaming down my face as I tried to regain my composure.

"I'm sorry, where is your family?" I looked into her eyes tears streaming down her face as I said that.

"I-I-I don't know, there was an explosion and I got separated from them. Can you help me find them?" I looked down and nodded. "What do they look like?"

"My mother has a pink coat and a blue mane and my father has a white coat and a red mane." I stood there in shock. I had seen them before. I had been with the mother when she died, and I had seen the father get crushed under a falling piece of tower. How was I going to tell a young filly that her parents died right in front of me? I had to find out if this was her daughter.

"Whats your name?" My chest was starting to hurt.

"My n-name?" I nodded "My name is S-scootaloo"

I looked at her and a small tear fell down my face. She saw my facial expression accompanied by the tear now coming down my face that I knew something that she didn't. "You know what happened, don't you?" I looked at her, another tear streaming down my face. "DON'T YOU?" She was yelling now, tears streaming down her face as she pushed herself away from my chest.

"I'm sorry, there was nothing I could do." I fell to my knees still holding her. She pulled her face into my shoulder, her sobs rang in my ears as her tears stained my jacket. I held her there for who knows how long we were there. Her sobs slowly died down to whimpers as she lay there in my arms. After a little while longer, her whimpers stopped and I looked down to see her in my arms, sleeping. I slowly got up and walked to the nearest guard outpost and handed her to one of the guards. she stirred when I gave her to the guard and let out a tiny whimper "Daniel..." I looked at her, trying to keep the tears from coming down my face, I grabbed my new rifle off my back and headed to the throne room.

Equestria: Canterlot, 1 week after attack by KKP

Fucking Bullshit were my exact words when Celestia told me that we were not going after the KKP next. I tried to convince her but she said that there was no way to get me up to the clouds without a spell and that since I am a human, I can't do the mission. Like I said, it was a load of Fucking Bullshit.

My next Mission is to attack the HQ of the KKU (Ku Klux Unicorns). I was to be transported via wagon to the known as Winsome Falls, a beautiful location containing waterfalls using real rainbows (or spectra) that used to be used for camping and date nights, but is now an HQ used by the KKU. They forced all the campers out and built a base there. They use the Spectra to make a new drug known as Sparkling Chroma (Chroma being a synonym for color). The drug is known for it's multiple colors and the fact that when opened the drug will appear to glow or 'sparkle'. The drug causes an extreme sense of euphoria. The users eyes will start to change different colors. If overused the, the user will go into cardiac arrest and in some cases, the heart will actually explode. effects usually take place after one minute and will last from four hours to nine hours.

Celestia has given me a headset with a mind sensor in it as to see where I am and to see what I am doing. My link will also be with a pegasus that will fly up above and act like a radar. The pegasus watching over me is none other than the same pegasus whom I save three weeks ago. I have learned that his name is actually Pvt. Mic Cobalt. I have gone over the plan twice with him as to make sure that he does not make the same mistake twice. I was also ordered that if possible, that I am to rescue a team of unicorns that were sent on a covert mission to join the gang and get info. They may not even be alive any more.

I am to be driven in a black wagon accompanied by two unicorns. They will drop me off 1 click away from the compound. I have been warned that there are patrols out there that will shoot magic signal flares if an intruder is detected. Once I am at the compound, I have been given four charges to set in four specific locations. One in the main building, one in the wagon depot, two in the Chroma factory, and I was given a last one to use to create a diversion to lure them to the other side of the compound. Once mission is done, if survivors are found, their safety is my number one priority. If no survivors are found then I am to eliminate every unicorn on sight. I have been warned that while magic does not affect me, objects can still hurt me. once mission is over, i will proceed to EXFIL point and get the hell outta dodge.

Celestia has informed me that the magazine that she gave me can now transform my gun, any gun I can think of, it will change to. I can change it from an M4 to an M82A1 to an M249 SAW. I was advised that the gun self loads it self, but takes about five seconds every time. The attachments even change as I see fit. Celestia had a gun range built for me to test out my new gun. I have to say that I am very impressed with it's performance. I will be looking forward to testing it out tomorrow on the KKU.

Equestria: One click North of Winsome falls, 0300.

"Hey you ready?" I heard the Pegasus through the headset.

"I should be asking you that question."

"Hey hey now, I spent all of last night studying the mission layout." I rolled my eyes, fucking amateur.

"Hey, watch the language, you don't have to speak for me to hear you, remember?" Oh yeah, so what if I think of some hot chicks getting it on in a bed.

"Oh dear Celestia stop it, that's gross." I started laughing out loud. "Haha, well then try to ignore it, because all that goes through my mind are naked women and vulgar humor."

I sensed him rolling his eyes. He reminded me of Michael, the way he used to roll his eyes at my stupid jokes. "Who's Micheal?"

"He was an old friend of mine, I saw him die. Actually, he died the day I came here."

"How did he die?" You only need to look in my head to know what happened.

"Oh my Celestia, I'm sorry about that." Yeah me too. "Hey, we are almost there, tell the unicorns to stop right here."

"Hey guys, stop right here and let me off." I got out of the wagon and looked at the unicorns. "Hide the wagon and wait for me here this is the Exfil point."They nodded and I cocked my gun began my trek through the terrain. "Alright Mic, you are my eye in the sky, DON'T get me killed out here." He chuckled

"Don't worry, I got you."

Thirty minutes later

"Hold up, I see three tangos fifty yards out."

'Copy that, am I clear to engage?' I thought, not being able to speak in caution of being heard.

"ARES, you are clear to engage." I imagined my gun turning into a silenced M24 sniper rifle, I aimed through the scope and waited for one of the targets to walk behind the other one. As luck would have it, one of them did and I fired.

TCHH

I saw the round impact the first pony, his head exploding in to a fountain of red, and the one behind being flung backwords. The other one was caught by surprise and stood there for a second before his horn lit up a sickly orange color. I had to react fast before he sent up a flare. I aimed and fired.

TCHH

This time I aimed a little too high. His horn was ripped off and he fell to the ground. Blood shooting out of where his horn used to be, he started screaming reaching at his head trying to find his horn. I aimed again, this time a little lower.

TCHH

I saw his head explode into a red mist, bits of skull and brain tissue flying through the air. It was strangely satisfying to see that my bullet had hit it's mark.

"Tango down, good work. Proceed" I got back up and my rifle turned back into an M4. I was starting to get used to having to adjust my hands every time my gun changed. I proceeded forward until I heard Mic on the other side.

"Get down, I see a large group of Tangos coming your way"

'How many?' I was getting a little worried that I would be seen by the large group of unicorns.

"I see 20 maybe 25 coming your way."

'Permission to engage?' The thought of an M240 LMG coming to my mind, it would be easy to dispatch them with over 200 rounds of lead.

"Negative, do not engage unless engaged."

'I hope you know what you are doing kid.' I was still unsure of his ability to keep me from getting spotted.

"I do, lay down and put your head to the dirt and they won't see you."

'I really hope you know what you are doing.' I laid on top of my gun and put my face to the dirt to camouflage my head. I heard the group approach. I heard hundreds of little footsteps around me. I was able to hear a few of their conversations. A few of them were talking about a big batch of Sparkling Chroma being sent out of the compound and others were talking about how they were gonna get high as fuck tonight. I heard one mention that they had found some spies in their ranks, my ears perked up to this, they said that after they found them, they ended up sending out a ransom, but it never got paid so they slit the spies throats. Shit, no survivors.

"Alright you can bring your head up now." I slowly raised my face from the dirt and rolled off my gun. "Proceed."

I got up and started walking towards the compound, I could see the big stone walls. On each wall was a sentry, my rifle turned back into an M24, I went prone and looked through the sight. I spotted four sentries, and two guards outside the front gates. I Looked at the sentries and targeted the one on my side.

TCHH

I hit his neck and his head got separated from his body. It rolled off of the platform and outside of the wall, luckily where no one would see it, I then aimed at the next sentry.

TCHH

My shot, narrowly missing him 'Shit.'

He must have heard the sound because he started looking around. I then aimed again and fired.

TCHH

This time I hit him in the chest. he was thrown off the platform and onto the ground behind some boxes. I looked around and saw that no one noticed him hit the ground. Relief flowed through my body as I dispatched the last two sentries.

I then saw the guards walk back through the front gate. I started my way towards the wall and pressed my back up against it. It was about twenty feet high, small enough for me to throw a grappling hook up there and climb up. I pulled out my grappling hook and swung. It latched up on to a bar.

'Any one notice that?'

"No you are fine, besides it looks like most of their forces are outside right now."

I climbed up and over the wall. The compound was enourmous. It was more heavily fortified and had many more buildings then the KKEP compound, My information may have been bad.

'Permission to engage?'I was ready to take these ponies down.

"Engage." I aimed through the sight and fired at the unicorns. They didn't even know I was up here, thanks to my silencer. My weapon turned into an M4 and I jumped on top of one of the buildings. I ran to the side and opened fire

tchtchtchtchtchtchtch

Pony after pony dropped, they were trying to figure out what was happening but they never noticed the marine on top of the command HQ. I fired my last round and waited five seconds. My gun vibrated, signaling that it was ready and I cocked it. I decided to take the silencer off and go in loud. I attached the rope to a metal bar and rappelled down, crashing through a window

"What the hell!" said one pony as I flew into the room.

I aimed and fired at the many unlucky unicorns now in front of my fire.

"Everypony, get down!"

TATATATATATATATAT

Pony after pony dropped. Blood flew onto the wall and ceiling as the unicorns fell to my fire.

TATATATATATATAT- Click click

I reloaded, enough time for the unicorns to think they could rush me. I cocked my gun and began to rain hell on them again.

TATATATATATATAT

I ran outside and to the next building and repeated the same process. I decided to use the Mossberg 590A1 on the last few buildings.

BOOM-click click BOOM-click click BOOM.

One of the unicorns snapped out of it his shock and ran outside, and I immediately gave chase. He got outside and fired off a flare before he was blown in half by my shotgun. His body flew, organs and blood flying every where. I looked up to see the flare, and my excitement went to Oh Shit.

"Remember that large group of tangos we saw earlier? They are on their way back, this time with reinforcements. Set those charges and get outta there."

"Copy that" After all that, I was allowed to talk again. I immediately ran to each building and set my charges. The last two charges were set up at the factory. I I passed barrel after barrel of that Sparkling Chroma Shit. What they said was true, it realy did change color, even in it's powdered form. I set them up and set the timer for three minutes. I ran outside and got to the wall and climbed up, my gun turned into an M240. I set up the bipod and sat there for a few seconds.

"ARES, I count thirty- no forty- Fifty. Fifty Tangos coming over the hill."

I pulled the slide back on my gun and let it rock back, I was ready to do this.

"I see them, I'm gonna wait for them to get a little closer." Sure enough, they were coming up over the hill, man these things were fast, I had never seen them move like that. I opened fire.

DADADADADADADADADADAD

Round after round hit the unicorns, some went flying back words and some were cut in half. I saw a few heads explode into a thick red paste. I was so involved in the gore that I never one of the unicorns get through the gate.

DADADADADADADAADDADADADAD-click click

I watched the last Unicorn drop to the ground and looked to see my belt was empty, I watched as the latch opened itself up and another belt flew out of the box and attached itself, the latch then closed and the gun vibrated. I pulled the slide and it rocked back into place.

I heard footsteps behind me and turned around only to see a knife flying through the air. I wasn't able to dodge it and it stuck in my side.

SCHLILICHHH

I screamed in pain as the Unicorn bucked me in the face, sending me and my gun flying over the side of the wall. I hit the ground with a loud thud.

"ARES!" my sight fading, I saw a speck flying through the air, it changed course and started flying down at a great speed.

I watched as the unicorn who stabbed me jumped down. His horn lit up, the knife in my left abdomen glowing. It was then ripped out in a slicing motion which only made the wound bigger, blood flew from my wound. I looked back up to see the knife hit me again, this time in the chest. I screamed and grabbed the knife to try and stop it from being ripped out again. His horn lit up again and the knife was torn from my chest blood flying from the wound. I fell backwards, blood falling from my mouth. I looked back up to see a black and yellow flash hit the approaching unicorn at super sonic speed. The Unicorn flew ten feet in the other direction, his face no longer recognizable from the impact

I saw Mic, standing over me. yelling at me.

"ARES."
"ARES."
"Ares."

I saw my friend, Michael Abbot standing above me, holding out his hand.

"Don't worry Michael, I'll see you soon"
