Project Zero

Lemon Blitz slowly yawned as he slid out of his bed to look at his calendar, marking another date out of it. With a big sigh he threw on his bath robe and went into the bathroom to wash off. The year was 2021, March 27th, a day that no one could possibly forget and heck, why wouldn't they. Lemon could still hear the news report as he began washing his face.

"They call it, 'The miracle of a lifetime!'" A Canterlot news reporter began, "I'm outside of the Equestrian Laboratory with Scientist, Lollipop Twist, creator of this miracle."

Lemon looked up at the mirror, and grinned, He's the one who started all of this. Lemon began his normal routine as always. He opened up a black chest filled with military MRE's and grabbed one. He opened up the cabinet and grabbed a water bottle. He opened up the curtains and went up to the rooftop to eat. He could see the dried up courtyard and locked gate, then he looked out into the city, the destroyed, green city of Canterlot that was once populated and beautiful.

On his way back in he pulled out a mix tape and tape recorder, "Okay then, from my family to yours, here is your sunny side mix." Lemon grabbed a clip board and turned up the volume to the music and began his basic chores.

One thing that Lemon Blitz learned during his training was to always make sure that he had supplies during a disaster like this and he was loaded. He had a gun safe loaded with several assault rifles, shotguns and hand guns, a room loaded with ammo of all types of weapons, one with boxes filled with food and water and another room with emergency supplies and escape route just in case there was no way to get out front.

Lemon Blitz began pulling out a few of his weapons and tossed them on the couch with some cleaning supplies. After he locked up, he began cleaning the weapons and started humming the tune of the song "Behind the clouds." He stopped and paused the song for a second and heard banging upstairs. He got up and pulled out another shotgun with a few shells. He loaded the weapon and walked upstairs. He stopped at the door and peeked over into the kitchen. Lemon could see someone grabbing food and water out of the cabinets. He couldn't tell if his intruder had a gun, but if he did, then Lemon knew what to do. He took a deep breath and aimed the rifle, "Drop what you have and put your hands in the air."

The intruder dropped the stuff and put his hands up. "Turn around, slowly." Lemon ordered.

The intruder turned around and began coughing, "L-Lemon, Is that you?"

Lemon lowered the rifle, "Nighthawk?"

Nighthawk coughed again and passed out. He was in really bad shape. Nighthawk was bleeding out on his chest and his arms. His clothes were torn apart and he had scratches all over his face. Lemon took off his jacket and covered Nighthawk, "Stay with me man."

All that Nighthawk could hear before he passed out was echoes, "Stay with me..."
