" A voice shouted through the noise the large helicarrier was making.
I started going over everything I had on my and made my way to where the helicarrier will open up to drop off the soldiers at. As I was making my way over I heard the overcome tell everyone 2 minutes till drop.
Putting on my helmet that had a visor coming across it that shaded the light and I also equipped with a targeting system and music. A black long sleeve shirt under a bullet proof vest adorned my chest. Camouflage pants with many pockets was on my lower half with black combat boots.
I got to the end of the massive ship were the the Sargent was about to open the door for us to jump through. He started to briefing when a few others got here.
"Listen as you know your all here because your humanities last hope. There are many other carriers dropping more of you off. I'll link the excursion points to you maps in your helmets!" He yelled as he opened the doors. One after another jump out of the plane. I was the last one I was about to jump when the Sargent stop me. "Come home safe son." With that I saluted and jump.
"Art of summoning: summon 12!" I shouted as a sniper came out of a spiral that had rune symbols. I took aim while falling and shooting as much of these injectors I could. Now injectors look like a tangled up human but as neither parts and are extremely fast and deadly. If they bite you you will turn to one of them or you will be infected so if you stay around people to long they will change to injectors and you will die in a matter of days.
When we landed everyone pulled up their guns and move close and coordinated. We got close to alpha our first excursion point.
"Ok we're here Pvt. Kane and I will be here to make sure everything goes according to plan. You all move up and contact me when you get there." I told them which the nodded and started to move. Kane and I moved to the door of a small looking church. As I opened it I pulled my pistol and flashlight around to see if any injectors were here.
After a quick search we saw nothing I went to activate a bio bomb that will all of them get turned on it will erase all on the injectors. I turned around to see Kane's head role in. His head hit my foot I shakely bent down to see if what I was seeing was real. I took the Scar-H the was on the table by the machine that contained the bomb.
"Were are you." I yelled looking around for whoever did this.
"Who me?" I turned around to see a guy in a business suit with a pile of C-4 piled around the bio bomb. Before I could get a word in he vanished and the explosives sent out a massive shockwave. The last thing I remember was me falling backwards through nothing.
Castle Of The Two Sister's:
With a gasp of air I sat up and looked around my surroundings. As I looked it seemed I was laying on a stone pillar. Putting my legs over the edge I rubbed my head trying to remember what happened. Looking down I saw several stones lying in a circle.
"Art of wind: decent." I said jumping off making the impact go to nothing. As I was about to go to the stones I heard shouting so I dove behind the pillar hoping it wasn't me they shouted at.
"Girls there they are The Elements Of Harmony." A feminine voice said as I heard footsteps coming closer.
"Let's give Twilight some time alone to get this. Come on y'all outside we go." A southern accent told the others.
When I got a good look at her she looked kinda like a human but she definitely wasn't she looked more like a... unicorn? A few seconds past when I made myself know but I kept my gun close so I could act in an instant.
"Excuse me miss but do you happen to know where I am." I asked politely. The unicorn jumped back and prepared herself for what I could only assume a fight. I quickly lifted my Scar-H up to point at her head. "Oi, just asking a simply question no need to get violent."
"What are you?" She hissed at me not letting her stance down. I put my gun to my side and relaxed myself to show her I ment no harm.
"Now that's rude you know I'm not an what but a who. And my name is Reaper may I get yours malady." I asked in a slight bow but not enough for my eyes to leave the unicorn.
"My names Twilight Sparkle." She said moving closer to the stones.
"Well Miss. Sparkle is the dark Pegasus unicorn hybrid with you or?" I asked looking behind her. Twilight looked at me confused till she turned around and gasped.
(Dialogue passes and Twilight jumps into the teleport spell to the other tower)
"Twilight you ok it's been a few minutes now." A scratchy voice said followed by multiple footsteps.
"Huh?" I said turning around and seeing five other ponies. Who all got into a fighting stance.
"What are you done with Twilight you ruffian." A white unicorn said.
"I assure you ma'am I have done nothing to Twilight but I'm afraid if we don't hurry you won't see her again." I said urging them to get moving to the next tower.
"And why should we listen to you huh?" The blue pegasus asked looking at me ready for a fight.
"Tis merely a suggestion and a good one at that." I said making haste to get to the other tower. The other five close behind keeping a weary eye one me. The blue Pegasus was about to attack me from behind when I felt her getting closer. "Now's not the time for suprise attacks Pegasus." I remarked as I went a little faster. I stopped at the edge of the stair case the other went ahead up their with twilight. "Art of Earth: Burrow." I quietly said going underground and coming up behind the dark blue winged pegasus. She was about to dodge a rainbow beam which I grabbed her and held her to make sure she wouldn't move.
Right when it was about to hit I dove and rolled out of the way and hitting my back against the ruined wall. After a few seconds everything went down so we could see again and they were all cheering for each other. I took this opportunity to find my way out of the castle till I heard Twilight call over to me. I turned and made my way over to hear.
"Is there a reason you called me over Miss. Sparkle?" I asked
"Yes, I want to know what you are and much more your a new species after all." She said beaming at the opportunity to study a new species.
"I'm what is referred to as a Human madam but if you'll excuse me I need to find some place to stay for a while." I said Twilight was about to answer when another voice spoke up.
"You can stay at the castle with me in till we get every thing sorted out." A white multi flowing mane winged unicorn said. Everyone kneeled down while I just did a slight bow.
"If I may ask who are you?" I asked latching my Scar-H on my strap that went across my chest.
"Princess Celestia." She said walking closer with a smaller winged unicorn.
"Well Celestia if it's fine by you could we leave shortly I need to get my helmet back online." I said taking of my helmet showing a scar across my left eye and shaggy black hair.
"It's Princess Celestia." Twilight snapped.
"She's not my Princess but Celestia if you will let me stay at your castle I will say this once nobody touches anything on my person got it if even one thing in out of place it won't be pretty." I warned.
"Was that a threat." The smaller winged unicorn said.
"Tis merely a warning." I answered back. "But I haven't actually slept for awhile so I'm going to pass out. Ok? Ok." I said falling backwards out cold.
-Third person-
Before the human could hit the ground he was surrounded in a gold aura lifting him next to the princesses. The mane six talk about what happened as Princess Luna walked over to Celestia. She wearily looked at the unconscious human in confusion.
"Sister what is that thing?" Luna whispered to her older sister.
"He said that he was a human but right now isn't the time we should get back to the castle." Celestia said shuddering as she thought about the paperwork she had to do 'cause of today. Luna merely nodded as they all went to the Sunset Celebration leaving the human in a chariot that they would take their leave in.
-Reaper-
I groaned as I slowly sat up in a surprisingly comfortable bed. Looking around the room I saw it was mostly bright in color with two doors on the far side of the room. Moving over to where my legs hung off the bed I jumped off noticing the my combat boots were by the door.
Getting of the bed was an easy feat besides me almost falling. Shuffling over to the door I put on the boots and looked towards the door handle. Now standing in front of the door I was about to open when it swung open hitting me causing me to fall back. In the few seconds I was falling I brought my hand close to my hand facing the ground when it made contact I sprung myself up looking at the now open door.
"Oh, I didn't think you would be awake yet." Princess Celestia said looking at me as I was currently crouched down to the ground. Relaxing a standing back up I did a slight bow.
"I just woke up and was about to see where I am." I responded looking at her with a neutral face.
"Well you're in my sleeping chamber in the castle. Now if you'd kindly follow my we can get you food and ask some question. Oh, and before I forget you have to come to the gala." She told me turning around.
"Yes, Ma'am." I said with a nod falling her through the castle. As we walked the guards would hold there spears and swords tighter while the maids would get as far away as possible. Some though would look at me in wonder or confusion. I didn't look at them or advert my eyes anywhere but forward.
"If I may ask why are you here?" Celestia asked not looking back at me.
"You brought my here." I said with a small smirk she giggled at this but before she said anything I went on. "In truth a madman is why I'm here." I told her going back to my usual state.
"Do tell." Was her only comment.
"My team and I along with many others were sent to deal with an... let's say infestation that was coming to close to the American borders. Pvt. Kane and me was about to secure the first checkpoint till I saw his head roll to my feet. Looking over to my objective their sat a man with a wicked smile and a business suit. Before I could do or say anything he disappeared but when he did he blew up the base and me with it." I said with the same neutral face but the same couldn't be said to Celestia as she was horrified. Walking into the dining room we sat down her ay one side of the table me on the other as we looked at one anther.
"That certainly is... I-I'm so-" I cut in before she went any further.
"Not to be rude but I don't want your condolences Celestia moving on to a different topic would be much appreciated." She just nodded before thinking of what to say.
"Well, before we continue what do you eat?" She asked.
"I have a feeling this won't end well." I muttered.
"What do you mean?" Celestia asked honestly confused.
"I am a omnivore, judging by how you look like a pony I assume you are a herbivore?" I asked looking at her.
"I am indeed a herbivore but we do have fish for when meat eaters come here." She said as a waiter came out of the kitchen.
"Sorry to keep you waiting your Highness what would you like?" The waiter asked I could tell that he had a fake french accent a mile away. Celestia order a salad and a slice of cake and she order me fish with salad on the side. The waiter didn't like the idea of meat a looked at me in fear before bowing low and going to the kitchen.
"His accent is fake, you know." I told the Princess.
"You could tell?" She asked as I nodded.
"You can tell by how his uses his words or the pronunciation of certain letters or words." I explained making her look at me.
"That certainly is interesting." She was about to say more till another pony came in the room. "Ah, Luna how are you?"
"*Yawn* Still a little tired dear sister." Responded Luna taking another long yawn. The waiter came out with food as he bowed and gave us our food his was a little shaky towards me though. Luna asked for pancakes as the waiter left again. The smaller princess sat down looking over at me before she turned away.
Lunch went on without much conversation besides the question of the new world I'm in. The waiter came back and took our plates. Everyone at the table got up as Celestia walked over to me.
"I will be sending you to Ponyville to let rarity get you a suit for the gala. Oh, and by the way how old are you?" She asked while looking at me.
"I am 19 ma'am." I said looking over my helmet.
"And how long have you been in your military?" Another question by the Sun Princess.
"Three years." I answered now looking at her with my helmet in my left hand.
"That's quite a young age to be in the military. How old do you have to be to go into the military?" She asked making my get a little annoyed but I never showed it.
"Eighteen." I said.
"Hmm.. Then how did you little human get into the military. Unless you're lying to me." She said glaring at me which in all honesty made me sad she brought this up but again I didn't show it.
"Because my 'kind' is just a tool to humanity they don't care about anyone like me. They wouldn't care If I was dying infront of their eyes the would walk away as if I was some diseased animal so when my father signed me up for the military no one batted an eye. So that is why I was in the military at a young age. Goodbye I'm going to the chariot you sent." I said with no emotion walking to the doors leaving behind a shocked and sad Luna and a Celestia on the brink of tears.
Walking down the mostly empty hallway I turned left looking for the exit/entrance of the maze-like castle. Not wanting to stop a guard or maid because I can tell by the way the move of their eyes. They see me as a monster not the It's new to me. Taking a right I saw a balcony with the door to it halfway opened. Taking this chance I walked through the half opened door and closed it behind me. I was looking over a beautiful city honestly if I was looking for a exit I would have looked on longer.
Shaking my head I jumped onto the railing balancing on my feet son I wouldn't fall. Well now that I think about I can survive the fall. "Art of wind: descend." As I said that I jumped down softly hitting the ground. Looking around I didn't see anyone so I walked around the corner and of in the distance I saw a train station.
Reaching down under my left pocket was a side pocket. Grabbing my wallet and looking inside I noticed that inside of cash it was a small gold coin about the size of a quarter. Not questioning why I just simply made my way to the train station and by simply I mean trying not to be bothered by constant stares and whispering.
After a 'short' walk I made it to the train station and looked at the schedule to see how much longer til the next train. Looking down at my phone I saw in about an hour is when the next train will be. Sighing I put in my earbuds and played Beethoven's 9th Symphony usually I would use my helmet but right now I have to fix it.
Picking up my helmet from my lap I looked on the inside and began to work on it till a few minutes went by when someone sat next to me on the bench. I didn't bother to look at the pony sitting next to me.
"What do want to look at me? I know I'm more handsome than you but come on." Kane said to me..Wait.
"Kane?!?"
