YHaY: Armoured Juggernaut

As James awoke with a start he noticed that Moon Shine was wide awake just looking up at the sky, checking his watch reading it was only seven am. Standing up and stretching James started to walk to the tree line.

"Where are you heading off to?" Moon Shine asked.

"Off to take a piss if you must know. Your're welcome to join me" James smirked.

Moon Shine just snorted and turned back to the sky. Finishing up his business James walked back to the smouldering remains of the fire and started to cox some life back into it. Leaning back against the power armour James started to doze back off but something in his gut told him something was wrong, rising to a coach James turned his back to the fire and started to look into the tree line.

*CRACK*

Both James's and Moon Shine's heads snapped to the sound just in time to see a large and very naked human charge them. At the first humans action more human followed him out of the tree line all hollering at the top of their lungs, both human and pony reacted as fast if not faster. Moon Shine leaping into the air to attack from above, James reached for his rifle and opened fire.

*PHAT-PHAT*

The first shot taking the first human in the knee completely destroying it causing said human to fall to the ground, the second shot smashing into the forehead of the same human sending blood and brain matter everywhere. Moon Shine was putting her training to use, dive bombing another and landing heavily on one's shoulders breaking its back, as she took to the air again she heard another noise.

*FWOOM*

Suddenly trapped by netting Moon Shine hit the ground hard enough to dislocate her wing, screamed out in pain. Some humans started to drag her towards the tree line where she could just make out the silhouettes of around eight ponies. Her eyes when wide and her heart when cold they had been found by a human hunter party.

Seeing his new friend being dragged away James opened fire on the three humans dragging Moon Shine away.

*PHAT-PHAT-PHAT*

See the other humans shrink back into the tree line James jogged over to the downed Moon Shine, James drew his knife and started to cut away at the netting covering her. Something impacts his shoulder looking down James sees what hit him a small dart. Wriggling free from the remains of the netting Moon Shine looks over to James only to see him kneeling down blinking rapidly, the she sees the dart at his feet.

"Holy Celestia you've been hit with a knock out dart" Moon shine said.

"I know" James calmly replies "I'm just waiting for my cybernetics to kick in and purge the shit from me."

"Cyber what??" Moon Shine asked.

The only answer she got was James falling onto his side.

"Fucking finally the bloody human is out" a gruff voice said "And look at this lads looks like we got us a bonus"

"Yeah with a beast like 'im' mister Dark Flare will be pleased to ave something to throw into the fighting pits" another voice says.

Turning round Moon Shine sees those talking, the one that stands out the most was the large griffin being flanked by seven ponies all looking at her with lecherous grins on there faces. moon Shine started to back away slowly but tripped over James. The griffon advances on her, Moon Shine moves back further, the griffon starts coughing up blood. Everyone looks to James knife in hand, knife in griffon.

"You best leave her alone, your not done with me yet" James whispered to the griffon.

"T-t-the buck are you?" stuttered one of the ponies "You should have been out cold for a few hours a least"

Turning around to face the panicked hunters James gave them a manic grin while taking a few steps towards them, causing all the ponies to run for it. Suddenly being tackled from behind by Moon Shine the both fell to the ground, with Moon Shine on top hugging and nuzzling James.

"Don't you dare scare me like that again" Moon Shine nearly shouts

"Just because we've know each other for a few days, does not mean I'll let anything bad happen to you" James said returning the hug.

"But how you get back up so fast after being hit with a dark?" asked Moon Shine.

"I already said my cybernetics, you honestly think that my government would give me some fancy armour and weapons with out giving me some upgrades in order to use them?" James said smiling.

"What upgrades do you have?" Moon Shine asked.

"Well the most important one is in my brain so I can interface with my armour, theirs another next to my heart that acts as a secondary heart and fights toxins in my blood among others" James said.

"You really aren't fully human are you" Moon Shine said.

"I'm still human where it counts" smiled James. "We better head off just encase those idiots come back".
