Time: Midnight
Inside the obversation room are two humans standing, both dresses in with clothes with a cloth over them. They hold each an electronical PDA in their hands, various data lay there open. One of the research glance another looks at the PDA before he looks up and speaks to his colleague. “Dr. Seuß. Had you witness the last big test of the subject. How knew that it could do so much damage. It was so fascinating, so many data was acquired. “The researcher starts to shiver because of this excitement. “Only thinking about the hours and hours we will spend working with them. I can’t stop to shiver.”
His colleague on the other hand wasn’t so delighted. “I did, Dr. Zirks… but had you look at the damage the subject had done?” He holds his PDA up. “It blows up half of the quarantine complex and killed over four dozens guards and technicians before they were able to take her down.”
The researcher called Dr. Zirks, looks at him with an inquiring look. “What about it. It had only costed us grunts and low-level staff. The property damage was far more than the costs of the compensation for their relatives.” Dr. Seuß let out a small sigh, sensing that his collogue didn’t get what he wanted to say.
Instead of say another thing he touches his PDA to open a com channel into the room, where the test subject was. It lay on a bed with restraints all over it, to immobilize it. Also, it has a tie over it eyes, making it blind, while several cords connect the subject with some medical surveillance machines around it.
“What takes so much time nurse. Why is the subject not already prepared for the next test?” He talked to the one other being in the room.
A male nurse, who had the job to tend the subject and prepare it for the next test series. “Dr. I wouldn’t recommend it. She is very weak and need some rest, as well as food. Her body …” The caregiver, who was called a nurse, tried to say, but the other Doctor had already linked himself into the com.
“We don’t give anything about, what you recommend. We had ordered you to prepare the subject for the next test series. IT…” he emphasise the it part “… doesn’t need any rest or food for that.”
The nurse simply sighs. “Yes Doctor.” He said with a lot of spite in it, but a click had already signaled him, that the com link had already closed. So, they didn’t hear his answer and also now they didn’t hear anything what he says in the room. “Bloody bastards.” He moans under his breath. “I’m so sorry princess. I wish I could give you some rest.”He talks to the subject.
“Not your fault… cough… not your fault, Vet.” Came with a weak voice the answer. “But can you see the sky, are tonight the stars and the moon there?” The caregiver called Vet grabs some old bandage, soiled through blood and walks towards the window, where the trash can stand. He throws it in the trash and then look through the window.
“This window is not a luxury, but simply mockery. Give her a window, but force her to wear a bandage over her eyes to blind her.” He angrily thought. Still, he looks at the night sky. “Tonight, they all are out. I can the Orion belt. And the Sagittarius. But it’s strange. The moon is red like blood.” With that, he turns back to his patient. “And why is that so?” came the weak voice of the patient.
On the bed lay a strange creature. It was a simple pony. But this is strange due to different reasons. This one was having a wonderful lavender coat with purple and violet stripes in her man. The next reason was the fact that this pony has wings and a horn, like a mix of a unicorn and a Pegasus. But the main reason is the fact that the pony is the owner of the voice. A pony that could talk, fly and use magic. That is normally a reason to freak out. But Vet was moved by it, instead, he is furious, but not on her. The source of his anger has another reason.
The researcher of the facility had somehow opened a portal into another world, Vet didn’t really get it how this was possible, to where they had open a door. But he knows what they had done and why. They had abducted this pony from her home and done to her things…. they forced her into experiments so unmoral he wished, the entire staff would go to hell. He had seen that she comes from a peaceful world and here… they cut her open, they electrocute her, let her bleed, just to see how her magic work. And when she had given in and show some tricks… they had doubled their effort. More and more experiments, until last week there she somehow broke and used a different magic.
Sometimes he still sees how she had killed the guards in ways… ripped them in half, burned them with this black flame, but the most shocking thing. The black mist which had swallowed an entire team in one instance without any trace left of them. Vet was the one able to calm her down a bit, but doing so she seemingly realizes what she had done. And she had gone from bloodthirsty berserker to regret in person. She had blown off any magic she had cast and then tried to take her life. Only the arrival of another batch of guards shooting and filling her up with tranquilizer stopped her. In the end, she had killed over 50 humans in a span of 3 minutes, but the sickest thing about it wasn’t the fact that a seemingly peaceful pony had done it. This price goes to the reaction of the doctors.
‘Splendid. This is even better than we thought.’
They didn’t even care about it. Their only goal it is to create the perfect tools for an army. An army out of enhanced soldier, more weapon, then living beings, who only had to obey their twisted wishes. His job in this nightmare facility was simple, making sure that she didn’t die too soon. So, he had nursed and talked to her. Tell her about his life and tell her if the stars in the sky, while she in return talks about herself, her life in her home and so much more…
So, he knows, that she was royal, but she had earned her title through various crazy adventures with her friends. Vet personal favorites stories are how she first met her later friends and how together they get the elements of harmony, some magic devices of great power, or how she saved her brother from an fraudster at his own wedding. Vet’s comment about the story was simple, it had been the answer from the godfather of his orphanage, who happened to be married once, before a really nasty divorce. “I was married once too, it ended in a really nasty divorce. She was a beast in human hide. Really wished you had shown up on the wedding in first place. Would save me a lot of trouble, money, stuff, and pride….” The more he knows of her the more he knows, the more he curses the entire staff.
‘I hope, that if there are gods, they give a miracle and save her from any more of this.’ Vet pray, while he walks to her side. “The godfather of my orphanage had once told me an“fear a moon colored in blood, for it’s a sign of coming doom”. It means that every time such a moon was in the sky terrible things will happen. Rivers of blood will flow and spoil the ground, the earth will tremble and the sky will fall down… Anything’s his drunken mind could imagine.”
That makes the pony giggles, but only for a second, before the pain turns the moment of laughter into pain. “… They plan to replay what happened at the last test… I don’t want to do it again. So much darkness…”She says, before she moans out of pain.
Vet feels how his heart rips that her remark. He had heard her pain in her voice. As his eyes starts to get wet he fast close them and point his head to the ceiling. ‘Oh, please all the gods here and every dimension else. If you have a tiny bit of mercy. Send a miracle, save the princess and send this place into hell and damnation.’
And then in a moment of silence he heard something. At first, he didn’t get it, but then it repeated. The stomping sound of heavy boots and it come closer to them. He moves his ears a little. “Strange… military is normally not in this part of the facility.” The stomping sounds grew louder, so whoever was it comes closer.
“Does anyone make an unplanned drill?” Vet grew a bit nervous about it. Then as he had listen a second longer he heard it clearer.
‘That aren’t simple soldier. That are MAS. And by the sound of it. The heavy kind.’ Now the nervousness starts to grow into panic.
He turned his head, when he heard the princess cough weak. “Are they coming to take me to the test area?”
Vet was taken back by her sentence, not because what she had say, but how she had say it. ‘So much hollow pain.’he thought.
Still set back, he needed a moment to answer. “That doesn’t sound like the normal crew. I think that are…”
Vet didn’t come to finish the sentence because suddenly a loud thump sound. Hastily he turns to the bulkhead, which serves as the door. Another loud thump comes from the door, but now more clearly than another. Vet’s eyes grew, as he notices that the bulk started to bulge. And then with another thump, the bulge grew. Shock runs over his body as he comes to a conclusion. Before he even says a thing, like a warning or even a small cursing, his body acted and moves on his own. In just a few steps he got to her side and shield her body with his own, facing her and show his back to the door. Just in the very moment, he leans closer towards her, the sound changed.
Instead of another dumb thump, he hears now the sound of a motorized powerfist (a really nasty thing a MAS could carry) hitting on the reinforced bulk, this time instead of bulging it more, the fist simply shatters it and tore some parts right out of it, sending them flying through the room. The scraps turn into a shrapnel and hit the one-sided mirror at the other end of the room. They piece it without any effort and turn the other side into a slaughterhouse, as the scraps chop Dr. Seuß upper body into tiny pieces, while Dr. Zirks lost his arm and both legs down the knees. While Dr. Seuß died so fast that he didn’t have time to scream, Zirks did it for his deceased colleague, he cries and whines, while holding the remnants of his legs.
Vet didn’t hear any of it, because as he turns around he sees, the culprits who break in. It were two. At the first glance, Vet sees that he was right with his guess that it where MAS (A Motorize Armored Suit, an exo suit, like out of some old Sci-Fi-movies or Video Games.) These suits make a person stronger, faster and allow to carry and use heavier weapons and equipment’s than a normal person could. But as his eyes regain their focus and give him a clear view of both MAS, his eyes grew as fast as his heart sunk into his pants.
There were two MAS, which have more and thicker armor than every MAS he had ever seen. The one MAS, who shattered the bulk had powerfist as hands, while the barrel of a large weapon towers over his already giant height. A powerfist was simply explained as a heavy armored gauntlet (heavier than the normal gauntlet), but through motor support and an energy generator, it gets inhuman powerful so that a punch can shatter things, like the bulk, with minimal effort… and if it hit a soft thing, like a human, said human simply turns into something that resembles a squashed tomato splashed over an area of 3 square meters.
While this MAS guards the breach hole, the other one moved inside and stands before Vet and the princess. He holds a halberd in his hand, which is fitting for the size of MAS. This seemingly ancient and archaic weapon sends shivers of down of Vet’s body, because he knows, who these persons were.
He put his hands up in the air, trying not to look like any kind of threat. “Don’t shoot, Law. They didn’t even pay more enough the face against you.” Vet shout, still his face lack any sign of fear, but shows a small smile.
The addressed pilot laughs inside his MAS and answer. Through the fact that his helmet covers his head, he speaks through the outdoor com. “Good choice, Vet. That makes you the first intelligent man in this base. Everyone else on your way up to here, got stupid and try to stop us… you can think what happened to them.”
Vet didn’t move a bit because of this statement, although he knows what Law means. He had been at the FAR, for six years, so he learned of the project, which resulted in Law and his brother. At his arrival, he had only heard rumors, (which had been already bad), but after a month he was chosen to be one of the nurses for the band. They used them up in a fast pace, forcing the facility to replace them in a cycle of a quarter. Vet wondered why that was so and he found up on the hard way. The project grinds them… literally…, but Vet had survived long enough and so he had become the only nurse, as the band accepted him and only him. So, he had been forced to know them more personally, allowing Vet to know their abilities, but more importantly their personalities. The security guards, Law, and his brother had met on the way to her, are defiantly dead. ‘Huh, that would explain the moon.’ Vet thought in a moment of morbid humor and his face starts to light up as his grin grew.
Law wasn’t aware of his thoughts, so instead he states his request. “We know what the shitheads had in plan for her tonight. But we are against it, so we are going to take her with us.”
Vet lose a bit of tension in his body, as he had heard what Law wanted. Instead something else rises in him, hope and delight, that some gods had heard his pleas and send a miracle. But then the princess cough, shocking both and make them look at her.
In the meantime, Dr. Zirks regain so much control, that he had open the com and speak. “No, you don’t you filthy lowlifes. It is my project you are talking about. And I will do every test with It, until I’m done with it, then it will only serve as breed machine to give me more research projects and then…”
He didn’t come farther, because while had made his monolog, Law simply had risen one of his hand and point it to the hole in the mirror where the Doctor was. A small thump came from his gauntlet as he shoots a grenade out of it into the hole. The grenade didn’t fly far in the room, just as she had entered it, she exploded right over Zirks and vaporize him and the mess left of Seuß.
Law didn’t move, when the grenade detonated, he didn’t even look when he shoot. “I think I had stated my request.”
Vet shakes his shoulders. “Admirable desire, but I can’t allow it.” Not even a second after Vet said that, the tip of the halberd was pointed at his face, only a mere inch away from it.
“And why is that so?” Law asks him in a tone, which would normally frighten people into losing a decade of their life. Vet simply holds his gaze.
Just as he opens his mouth to answer, the tension between them shifts its focus as, the princess starts to cough relative loud and throw up a chunk blood. Fast Law points his weapon away, but his gaze locks at her. “Because she is still injured. You all lack the proper medical skills to keep her alive long enough to get out.”
A deep voice enters the conversation. “What Injuries? Are Life treating?” The pilot in the MAS at the door had ask.
“Yes Behemoth.” Vet answers him with steel in his voice. “The wounds from the test are still fresh. She is in no condition to be moved. So, if you take her away without someone skilled she will die.” He points his one hand to Law and put the other on the bed.
“We will take her with us… even without you.” Law tighten his grip on the weapon, forcing Vet to pray for another miracle.
And to his delight it came. The princess, although being unconscious, had gripped his hand, as she seemingly had heard the conversation and feared that he vanishes from her side.
Law sees this little gesture and a short snore escapes him. “Looks like we have a solution for the problem. We have our medic, who comes with us to take care of her.”
Vet was not surprised. “Taking care of a princess while on the run. Thank Faust, finally a job that is really challenging. Good thing I have already a travel bag ready with the things I need for her care.” Vet said hints of sarcasm dripping in his answer, while reach under the bed and grabs said bag, which he placed there.
come to think about it. I had just woken up this morning and the first thing I had done was packing this travel pack. I know who I found that strange.” Vet thought, while he fast puts the bag on. “Good thing, that I had did it.”
Vet simply smiled, as he unzips every cord that connect the princess with the medical machines around her and when the last connection was gone, he put his arms under her and lift her gently up, then proceed to carry her in princess style out of the room.
Law grabs his halberd, while Behemoth turned the energy generator of his Power Fist off and grabs the weapon on his back. “Ok, B you go first, I will take the rear. Vet follow Behemoth. We go to the Station.” Vet simply nods and follows the giant, who already walked. As he knows that they are on the way out he allows himself to blend out his surroundings. So, Vet didn’t really notice, Law reloaded his hand grenade launcher or how the large weapon in Behemoths hands start to power up and begins to sizzle, as it starts to build up its energy.
Also, Vet didn’t miss that Law talk into his com. “Everyone we have our price. Get to the Station, the next phase of our plan is in motion.”
The com canal simple ping six times. Each ping had indicated, that everyone else has heard and acknowledge him. After the last ping sounds off, a voice came speaks into the channel. “What’s with the trash?”
Law didn’t hesitate with his answer. “Take it out.”
Other side of the Base …
In the cantina were many of the technicians and other personal at the base on their knees with theirs hand behind the head. Technician Leroy was between two collogue and didn’t stop to curse his luck, because instead of dying fast, he gets caught and must now awaits, whatever their three MAS guards, who watched over them, had in mind for them. He glace again to them.
One MAS having Energy claws as hands, which could slice through human bodies, like a hot knife through butter. The blood on them, as the dismembered bodies lying around, shows that he had already demonstrated it. The second MAS stands at the other side of the group, with fewer bodies than the clawed MAS, still with enough around him to show that the guns in his hands are deadly. If Leroy closes his eyes he still sees how the three MAS stormed into. How the clawed one slices through the one nearest to the door, while the one with the hand guns shot the ones far in the back. The most fighting fact had been the fact that the MAS had moved with a grace like it all had been a dance while causing this violence in a span of mere seconds. “We didn’t even have the chance to scream.” Leroy though, while shakes because of the memory of this terror.
But he didn’t dwell too long in memories as in the moment the main source of fear was the third MAS. A bulky scorched MAS… with a giant tank on the back, connected with a rifle like a tool in his hands. The pilot had his helm open but turned his back with the tank to the prisoners. As he suddenly turned around the content of the tank sloshes. Leroy thought that he could throw a glance on the pilot’s face, but this moment passes too quickly as a cigarette appears from his left gauntlet, which the pilot placed between his lips, while he raises the rifle muzzle towards his face. With a whiz, a small flame appears on the muzzle.
The small flame was close near the pilot’s face, but instead of burning his face, it lights up the cigarette. The pilot takes a breath in, igniting it fully and as he breathe out the smoke covers his face, before the helm some down and seal… with the lighted cigarette inside…
This Leroy’s mouth was faster than his mind. “So, are we free?”
“No, I prefer to burn my trash.” Came as the answer from the pilot, as he quick sniggers. Leroy needs a moment to understand this answer. But the pilot had risen his weapon and pull the trigger. The tank on his back starts to gurgle. Then the rifle starts to spray some liquid. At first only the liquid flows at the first rows of people, to which Leroy doesn’t count as he was more in the back. But then a quiet click came and the small flame reappear… and then he starts to scream, as he witnesses, how the liquid turns into fire. The entire room starts to heat up, as people turn from humans into living torches. He scrambles to his feet and walked a few steps. He didn’t get far as a whizz zap through the air and suddenly he looks at his feet while his body gone a few feet further before it falls down. His last seconds of live Leroy tries to scream, but as soon as the fire touch him everything went dark.
At the Station….
“Station” was the call name of the place, where the FAR research the possibility to travel to others world. At first, it was used to search ways to travel to the stars, but after discovering the Portals, the focus shifted to find another world, better dimensions. So, it was used for that but right now instead dozens of technicians and scientist swarming all over the place, only 3 persons in MAS are in the room. Well, there are more people in, but only as shredded bodies. With blood, everywhere. This gruesome act of violence shows, that as the MAS take the room, they didn’t bother to take prisoners.
All over the place are marks from the short and one-sided fight. Marks of bullets, molten metal from explosions, ripped limbs and blood everywhere. Everybody shows heavy signs of damage, some even so much that it is impossible to tell who had been the person.
Still, the three MAS stand at the main room of the station, without even a scratch. One MAS, completely white, with only some dirt on it, holding a large bolt-action rifle in his hand. He listens for any possible enemy, who try to sneak on them. Another MAS stands on the consoles. Out of his back comes two addition arms armed with tools and together with his natural hands they all flew over the console, tapping in a furious speed tipping in commands. Meanwhile a couple of drones’ swarms around him, one that also looks at the consoles, while the rest, big and small ones look around the room, their weapons ready to fire at any target at a time. “The Portal starts to warm up, the coordinates are in and the system is fully under my control.” The MAS with the rifle barely nods, while the MAS continue speaking. “The recovering group is on the way. Pyro and Hawk are also on the way. Hunter, three guards, level seven, behind the third barrel after the headlight two.”
The said guards, who are trying to sneak in, stop by this remark. They all wear special armor, with enhanced cloaking. There is no way, that anyone could see seem. But after a moment, to recover from their shock, they start to move on again, as their confidence returns, as they know their position is not in the direct point of view of anyone of the three MAS.
But this works also works the other way around, as they couldn’t see the MAS. So, they didn’t see that the white MAS had risen his gun and fired one bullet.
The bullet went flying and as soon as it hit the first catwalk in the hall, it starts to defy all normal physically. It ricochets serval times of metal roads and catwalks in the hall. At first, the soldiers are shocked that the sudden sound, but relax, as they hear how the bullet simply ricochet. They want to move again, but then the bullet ricochets the last time. It hit the first soldier direct in the helm, pricing through the metal and piercing through the skull before it repeats it's previous doing in the second soldiers head, and leaves his head only to miss the third one by a mere millimeter. Still, it sprays said the soldier with blood, bone pieces and brain from his dead colleagues. This sudden happing startled him and he forgets his whole training and experience as he jumps backward like some rookie fresh in training. But doing so he jumps off the reeling and tumbles towards the ground. He spends his seconds of fall to scream and to lose control of his bladder, but he didn’t feel that he hit the ground.
At first, he was eased, but as he touched his legs to feel what had catched him, the euphoria of being alive turns into pure dread. His upper body was in the hold of an energy field, which shimmers in an indefinable color and this field was connected to the risen arm of the third MAS.
It was a slim and fragile looking MAS, which didn’t carry any weapon and had even less armor than the other MAS of the band. This gives the impression that it’s a weak MAS, useless in any situation, besides training or cargo duty, but this impression is a false illusion. The pilot of this particular MAS is his own way the strongest soldier of the band, as he is the one, who can use powers, resembling magic. He can manipulate elements like fire, water, he can levitate thing like he does now and it is known that he can use his magic in ever more dark and twisted ways. “Look what we have caught. A low grunt, more pig than man. A rapist and murder. Your being disrupted the balance, as there is no equal for your evil.”The soldier tries to scream, as he feels something ripping inside of him. “Begone…” Before he could even take a breath in the MAS snipped his gauntlet and in a blink of a moment, the soldier was changed from a solid human being into a messy cloud of blood. The Magician had used his ability’s to shredded him into oblivion.
The spider-like MAS at the consoles comment that dirty method. “Really, couldn’t you simply threw him into a wall or something. You know Legion, something that isn’t not such a bloody mess?”
The addressed MAS only wave his hand. “Without Balance, there is a disrupting. Mech you know that. So, we restore Balance. And in order to restore balance, we eradicate the evil into oblivion. Destroying it so thoroughly that nothing should be left.”
Mech, the pilot in the MAS at the console, shrugs with his mechanic shoulders and wanted to say to Legion, but Hunter interrupted him. “They come in hot.” Hunter in his white MAS said, startled them both.
Psy starts to collect his powers, while Mech return his gaze to consoles. “Hawker and Pyro are her in 3 seconds.” Mech said, as he checks the console and video feeds displayed on them.
A loud scratch sound as Behemoth enters the hall, followed by Vet, who carry the princess, and Law, how already shot at their persecutors. Behemoth waited for a second, for Vet and Law pass him before he fired his weapon, a prototype of a plasma cannon, which shoots a project of raw plasma. The projectile hits the first row of the group, incinerate the first half of them in an instant, before the unstable plasma loses the control and explode, killing of the other half. Meanwhile, Hawker and Pyro crash through the roof and land fast on their feet’s, while Illusion slides through the hole and land on his feet, with the precision of a dancer.
Law sees them and move his hand in a motion, so that they all come closer and make a loose circle. “Good all are here. Mech is the portal ready?”
Mech moves a hand up. “5 minutes then it’s open, then we can go through. We must wait 20 seconds between, as the MAS cause a slight disturbance in the portal.” Law nods.
“Was with Vet?” Behemoth asks, as he lowers his gun and walk to the group, after he had closed the door and melt the edges together, making it impossible to open the door.
“Yeah, why is he here and why he carries the princess in princess style?” Hawker remarked with a small grin, with a little envy at the caretaker, as he wanted to carry the princess.
“She needs medical treatment, but more importantly, she wants him to follow.”Everyone nods in agreement. No one question the will of her.
Mech was the one of take up the conversation again.“Vet, you go with the princess first through the portal. As you didn’t wear a MAS there will no problem with the mass. Still, I send Icy to accompany you and her. After you gone through, the portal will lose his stability for a moment. But it will stabilize in few seconds and after that, the rest of us goes in.” Mech explains, while a small orb ejects from him and fly over to Vet. It hovers a moment before him and the princess, as it seems to look for a good place before it makes its choice. As it had chosen it the orb shakes a bit, before fly closer to the princess. As it had come closer it shifts the shape and came to rest as a necklace around the princes's neck. She didn’t make a move, mostly because she was cold out.
“Vet one thing... Under no circumstances… NO CIRCUMSTANCES… Ever let go of her. Get that buddy?” Law speaks to Vet, giving him this order.
Vet’s chest filled with an unknown feeling… pride. He knew that if he survives and become old and look back at his life that this moment is the most important of his life. He saves an innocent from evil… Faust above him like that. “Don’t worry I don’t let her fall.” He assures everyone. “I swear by the mother Faust. Only over my dead body, I will let go of her.”
Hunter raise his rifle, repeat the bolt and load a new bullet. “Incoming.”
As this lonely word sounded the next stage of the escape plan comes in motion. Everybody goes to defense positions, facing the door, so that only Mech and Vet are still standing near the consoles at the portal. “Damn, nearly forgot to give it to you.” Mech said.
Vet didn’t look at him, as he looks at the other, but he turns around when he heard that Mech shuffles. “Forget what…?” he tries to ask, but one of the bionic arms of Mech grabs his head and tilde it so that it, so that Mech has easy access to his neck.
“That will hurt a tiny bit.” Came from Mech in his mechanical voice. And something starts to dig into Vet neck. It costs him all of his willpower not to scream or to let the princess fall, still he shears tears. Through watery eyes he shoots death glares at Mech, who simply look at a holoscreen appearing on his forearm. “Good, the implant is in and soon will link. Also, the vaccine starts to work and your body didn’t show any sign of rejection” He looks up and snickers at the death glares of Vet. “Come one. I only shot you the basic thing. Over there, get some rest and then you will understand.”
Just as Vet opens his mouth, probably to insult Mech, a ping sound and Mech quick push a bottom. The Portal, a giant metal ring vibrates brief and then he starts to spin and in his middle a ball of energy appears. As the Ring turns faster the ball warped and pull him the ring. As soon as the warped ball touches the ring it changed. He creates a dark blue and wavy surface, making it unable to make out any details. “Vet it’s go… go… go…” Mech shouts, urging him to go in.
Fast before he even knows it Vet ran towards the portal and run right into the portal. As soon as he hit the surface he feels strange. At first it feels like his hits water, but as soon as his body was engulfed something like electric powers starts to load him up, and then something starts to pull at his body and mind, but just after a timespan of what could have been a millennium or a brink of a second his world shift Vet and the princess were gone.
Outside the portal Mech had witness this. As soon as the presence of both vanished from the sensors of the portal, Mech cracks a smile and scream, “They are on way. 15 seconds before the next can go through.”
Law grips his halberd. Without looking around he scream his order. “Ok, hold out. Hawker you go next.” A roar comes from him, showing his approval. “Mech, you and Legion are the last to go through. Are you have already a farewell present ready?”
Mech grins. “Hell yeah, you are going to like it a lot.”
In few words, he explains it to Law, who starts to grin in a very scary smile. “Hell yeah” he repeats.
Outside of the Station Brigadier general Harker screams another order. “I don’t care that the Golf platoon is wiped out, send another platoon, better send them all at once.” He spat the orders into the face of his adjutants, along a good porting of spit. “Damn, I had said the higher ups. Don’t create these freaks, without a real control device in their head and a bomb in their chest. Because if they would do something like that, all I had to do is push the bottom and bang… there goes the problem.” He places his hands over his face. “God, this is a mess.”He mutters under his breath.
When he was dishonorably discharged out of the army when his superiors find out about his handling of females in his units (the rape and blackmail of nearly every one of them) he gets the job offer to become chief of the security unit of some remote research facility. At first, he wasn’t interested, but as they promised him not only a bigger payment than the army but also that they give him free hand in handling, every situation and for him, more importantly, the females in the facility, he didn’t wait any longer and accept the offer.
At first it had been a nice job. The money was nice and so the females. Some were fast broken, while some resist a bit longer. The job would be the best job he ever had, but he had learned that every paradise had its own devil. This damn band of freaks.
Harker had already said, that they are too free minded and that they need some restraints to keep them in line. If the lash was too long, shit like this could happen, but his concerns were pushed aside, as the risks of damaging the goods was too high. And what he has now. The entire band has rebelled and taken the freaking thing, this … pony … with them. They had already killed the half personal of the base. “How, how in the fuck are they able to kill so much. Who taught it would be a good idea to give them weapons? The higher ups will be pissed.” He thought about the current situation.
At another place in the Facility, a Second Lieutenant Adarma Jeffers was… nervous. At the moment, he was Leader of Hotel… to name it better he was the field-promoted leader of what is left of the Hotel-platoon. At the morning, Hotel had been a normal full platoon, out of four squads made out of eleven soldiers (six soldiers, 2 medics, one heavy weapon duo and one officer), but since the beginning of this nightmare their numbers had to dwell and since the last attack two-third of the platoon, along all superior officers are dead, leaving 2nd Lieutenant Jeffers with a platoon, with 13 persons (Himself, one medic and only soldiers as rest.) “Ok, guys. Their fire seems to fade. Now it’s time to attack. Let’s round these bastards up and then we go to athe party and celebrate our victory. “He raises his gun, trying to motivate his comrades, but failing so… still, they follow his move and tighten their hold on their weapons. “And go,” Jeffers scream and run towards the hole, which had been the door, but right now it was reduced to scraps, as multiple charges tore it down.
But now something was different with this attack.
... No counter-fire. So, in no time Hotel was inside, standing on the corpses of their dead comrades from prior attacks. And what was more shocking…
“What do you mean, there is no one?” scream Brigadier General Harker in his com. “Where da fuck are they?”
Jeffers hold the com unit a bit farer from his face, as Harker nearly deaf him. “What I just said, sir. They are all gone. No bodies, no traps and not even one of the Mech toys.”
Harker couldn’t believe it. He sprints out of his command tent, and in a couple of minutes arrive at the Station. Hotel platoon was now supported India and Juliet platoon, securing the Hall. “Jeffers…” Harker scream “I want answers right now.”
Jeffers steps beside him. “Sir, some techs from Juliet had analysed the portal. They had used it to escape to a currently unknown position.”
Harker turns around and nearly fall down on his face, because of his spin he lost his balance. After a moment he had catches himself, preventing him to make a foul out of him. But as soon as he gains his grounds he starts to scream again. “What are you waiting for? A parade, a paycheck, a fucking whore sucking your dick? Collect the fucking troops, activate the double fucking portal and the third fucking and damn follow them.”
A technician comes by nearby. “Sir, we already tried to power up the portal, but something is wrong with it… it seems to drag more energy than normal, also it seems that the energy matrix has some sort of swings in it… I would wait until we have fix that… we could a proper test in about 3 or 4 weeks…”
Before he said more Harker had raised his fist and beat him down. Then he walks over wounded technician at the ground over to the portal. At the control console, Harker starts to pushes the bottom. “Bullshit, we go now after them.” The portal starts again to build up, but instead of vibrating only a brief time it didn’t stop to vibrate. Harker didn’t give a damn about it, the Portal get hit by some grazes so that it didn’t work smoothly is normal. But the orb of energy which normally generates was red rather than blue.
Some of the tech start screaming. “Stop the portal, you will kill us all.” even one runs away. Harker pull out his gun and try to shut him down, but stopped as he looks at the portal. The Orb didn’t get pulled the ring. The orbs stay as a ball shape, but now it starts to grow, while it warps into a spike ball.
“What is going on…” Harker scream but the portal answers instead.
The ball shifted one last time and then return into the form of a perfect ball. In this form, it remains still for what feels like an eternity, but was really only a second. Then it explodes.
Brigadier General Harker, Lieutenant Jeffers, the remnants of Hotel, India and Juliet, died in the first second. Then in the next second the facility was vaporized and after a third second everything in a radius of 40 miles was vaporized.
Author's Note
So first try to write an MLP FF. Please make a comment. It helps me to improve, also I want to hear your opinion.
The MAS looks like the Exo Suits from the Game The Surge. So normally they leave parts uncovered, but the MAS of the Band were more advanced and enhanced, so they are more like full-body armor, as their pilots must survived in more dangerous situations ( Hint Pyro has a flamethrower, would be a bad if he feels the heat on raw skin)
