Project Zero

The next morning, Lemon and Nighthawk was in the forest heading back to the house with a new glass pane that they picked up from Lemon's garage, "I can't believe your garage is a mile from your house." Nighthawk said as he was slowing down. "What in your right mind gave you that idea?"

"More excercise." Lemon said as he lowered the pane. "Let's get a break in before we move."

The two sat down next to a tree and pulled out water and a snack, "You know, you stopped on the story last night." Nighthawk said when he pulled out his camera, "how about you continue it?"

Lemon sighed, "Ok, well, as you knew, we were knocked out in the transport..."

Lemon opened his eyes and was in darkness, the only light coming through was the neon lights flickering, and sparks coming out of the side panel. Lemon heard a groan and realized that it was Nighthawk, "How in the heck are we still alive?"

Lemon looked around and felt a couple of the troops for a pulse, "Either dehydration, suicide or they hit their heads too hard."

"Then why aren't we like them?"

Lemon kicked the door, "Never question the questionable. Just be happy that you're alive. And help me with this door, please?"

The two pushed open the door and the sight was not pleasant. Smoke was covering the sky, several jets flew by towards the city which was now an apocalyptic ruin. Lemon couldn't bear to see the scene and looked at Nighthawk who began crawling out with several weapons and ammo. "How long do you think we've been out of it?"

Lemon looked back at the city, "Who knows, days, weeks. I don't think anyone would've survived."

Nighthawk tossed him a rifle, "And if they did?"

"Then they would evacuate to a base or something."

Nighthawk walked off while Lemon was talking and found something disturbing, "Uh, Blitz?"

Lemon walked over and saw several bridges, bodies and vehicles just destroyed and in several piles. "They must have broken the blockade and finished off the town." Nighthawk said as he examined the destruction.

Lemon cocked back his weapon, "Let's go."

The two began walking walking away from the city, "So what will happen if we encounter these creatures?" Nighthawk asked.

"Do what we always do and kill them."

"But how? they are probably evolved enough to probably avoid a mag worth of bullets."

"Then we find its weak point."

Nighthawk grinned, "Which will be where?"

With a huge sigh Lemon stopped, "I don't know, but what I do know is that we don't get to the school, we will die in terrible ways that I don't want to think of now?"

Nighthawk's eyes shot up, "The school? Dude no one will be alive when we get there!"

Lemon shook his head, "The girls probably held up the place with their new magic."

Nighthawk flung his arms up in the air, "That doesn't mean squat since there is no weakness to these things!"

Lemon got up to Nighthawk's face, "Are you doubting Twilight and the others?"

"Dude, they're strong, but not that strong to hold these things off."

"They know that we will come for them back at the school, I believe in their powers and you should to."

After thinking about it Nighthawk sighed, "Okay, we'll go, but I should warn you that we should fear the worst, whatever we find."

Lemon sighed, "Then let's roll."

Nighthawk was putting away his camera and looked at Lemon, "Blitz, I want to apologize for not believing you at first."

"No, I should be the one who should apologize." Lemon said as he picked up the glass pane again, "I compromised the mission when I even mentioned going back to the school to find them."

Nighthawk helped Lemon pick up the pane and finished their trip. "It's nothing to be ashamed of, you had an affection for Twilight, and you wanted her safe. Me, I wanted Rainbow Dash to be safe."

"Really? And why's that?"

"Well." Nighthawk began as he began to blush, "I invited her to Prom a few days before the attack."

Lemon laughed, "You and Rainbow?"

"Yes."

"And you say i'm weird."

"Well you have nothing in common with Twilight. You know, book nerd, military soldier, it doesn't mix."

Lemon grinned, "Oh and a hunter and future military cadet does?"

Nighthawk laughed, "At least we love the military."

Lemon rolled his eyes and laughed, "Oh whatever."
