Moonlight shines upon a small lake, the light causing each ripple in the water to sparkle like the stars above. A calm wind lovingly caresses my skin like a mother to her child; giving the babe a warmth like no other. Trees, so green, so full of life could be seen bordering the lake. Its nocturnal animals could be heard scurrying around in the darkness of the forest. This night was beautif—

"Let me go! Somepony! Anypony! Help!"

—Well, almost beautiful. Looking over my shoulder, I could see what bumps in my night, and his name is Oak Vale. He is currently tied to a tree with a few of the Equestrian Humans being a nuisance until he becomes cooperative again. I should provide some context, shouldn't I? Well, after Storm Chaser died, everything went to shit.

As the dagger pierced the spine of the dark-grey mini-horse, a bright light erupted from above. What followed the light could only be described as pandemonium as mini-horses in gold armor descended from the sky, swords drawn and arrows knocked. My first reaction to the sudden group of heavily armed individuals was to get the fuck out of dodge while making sure none of my equipment falls into enemy hands, or in the case: Hooves.

"Subdue these ponies and don't let Leather Whip escape!" one of the armored mini-horses shouted out an order. I let out a hiss of annoyance before bolting towards the cages with the Humans locked inside them.

"Hey! One of the Humans is making a run for it!" a female armored mini-horse exclaimed just as I made it to the cages. Ignoring her, I found the lock and saw that it required a key, a key that I don't have time to acquire. Groaning in annoyance, I reached into my boot, pulled out my lockpick and began working on the lock. I couldn't allow these Humans to be taken in by the more heavily armed mini-horses. A small-time slave group, sure, they would be far more easily freed if I had to fall back, but the military on an alien planet? No fucking chance, at least, not without a team and a base of operations.

"Leave her and capture Leather! He is more important than that animal!" the leader growled back.

'Thank you,' I thought darkly. 'Not sure why you wouldn't subdue the free Human. That's just a liability waiting to happen. Good to know that the commander is incompetent, but how incompetent is something I can't gage accurately without more research on the commander.' Setting that aside, I made quick work of the lock, while my initial captors were holding back the armored mini-horses at bay. I still needed my gear, and I did see the pink Pegasus place it in one of the carts by the cages, but at the moment. Acquiring my gear would require me to engage the armored mini-horses guarding them, and that's not an option right now. I need to wait for an opening.

"Captain! Leather Whip is making a break for it into the forest!" shouted an armored mini-horse hovering by the carts. I didn't pay them much attention as I was making sure all the Humans were out of the cage and running as far away from the mini-horses as possible. 'One down, two to go.'

"Well, go after him!"

"Sir! Two of the Human cages have been open, and all the Humans are running away!" another said as I was making it to the third and final cage. The one of which was filled with nothing but females meant for breeding. Looking into the cage, I saw that all the women were trembling with fear. None of them looked like they have eaten anything in days and judging by the smell. I don't think they had a bath for weeks either. 'Don't worry. None of you are going to be used as breeding stock. Just give me a few moments to get you out.'

"Forget the Humans! All soldiers, sweep the forest. If Leather Whip gets away, we'll lose our only lead against Black Crystal!" the commander ordered before he, himself, flew into the forest with half of his company close behind. "CLICK!"

'Finally!'

Finishing up the final lock, I opened the cage and pointed towards the direction that the other Humans ran, however, something was wrong. Frowning at their lack of movement, I looked into their eyes and saw that they were all looking at something behind me. 'Fuck.' Turning around, very slowly mind you, with my dagger in my left hand, I saw the reason why the girls weren't running: Oak Vale.

With a quick glance at the mini-horse, I noticed that his eyes were wide in shock, jaw wide open and frozen in place. Looking behind him, I saw that his friends were all bound and gagged by the firepit with a few armored mini-horses keeping watch. 'Double Fuck.' Taking a slight step back, my eyes glanced the carts once more, (which were now unguarded thankfully), then back to Oak Vale. He also looked towards the carts, with sweat dripping from his brow. I could even hear the audible "gulp!" that came from his throat. He knew what was there, and who it belonged too, and I even think he doesn't want me to get it.

'Wait, wait, wait a minute. Why is Brownie the only mini-horse not in chains?' Frowning slightly at this thought, the only way that Oak could be walking about freely is...is if he was working with the armored mini-horses! 'Triple fuck.' With that little bit of information at the forefront of my mind, letting him go after freeing the Humans would come to bite me in the ass in the long-run, however. I also can't just kill him and run off. I still need information that I am lacking, and I know my instincts are telling me that Oak Vale knows what I need to know. I need to make my next move carefully.

'What's that!' I shouted in my mind while pointing in a random direction. The mini-horse, lost a bit of my respect when he turned his head to look at whatever I was pointing at, giving me enough time to slam the pommel of the dagger against the back of his skull. He fell like a lopsided sac of space potatoes with a welt forming where I struck. 'Moron.' With the current threat out of the question and the rest none the wiser, I quickly picked up the surprisingly light mini-horse and made my way the carts where my gear was being held.

Staying out of the light and in the shadows, I arrived at four medieval-looking wagons with the brown mini-horse slung over my shoulder. They were completely made out of wood and poorly forged iron. Not only that, but they looked like they were supposed to be attached and pulled by the mini-horses, themselves. 'That's some kinky bondage shit right there.'

Looking back towards the armored mini-horses, I realized that I was still out in the open and they were starting to get antsy. As fast as I could without making a sound, I stalked around to the wagon holding my stuff.

"Psst, Raven. Where's the Sergeant?" whisper-shouted one of the guards by the firepit. 'Oh, for fuck sakes!'

"I saw him by the cages with the albino Human, why?" Raven, the mini-horse replied.

"Cause' he's no longer there, same with the albino," he answered quietly, followed up with the sound of a sword being drawn from its sheath. Picking up the pace, I made it to the final cart and with a quick peek, found my stuff. Taking a gander over the edge of the wagon, I saw all the armored mini-horses watching the group of slavers was now armed and surveying the area without leaving formation for their missing Sergeant.

Shaking my head, I grabbed my hiking pack from the wagon, followed by arming myself with my cloaking device I tucked away in the upper-right pocket. 'Huh? They had the courtesy to pack up all my gear. Hmm, but it looks like they couldn't figure out my tent. I'll have to fix that later,' I blinked in surprise. 'Aaand' my cloak is out of juice. Great.' Putting the hexagonal piece of metal back in its pocket, I put Oak down for a moment in order to secure my pack to my person.

"Gem, is that the Sergeant's hooves over there?"

‘No, he is not the mini-horse that you’re looking… fuck I hate putting this backpack on!’

“Sir, there is also a Human crouched down beside the Sergeant, and it looks like she is doing something to him. Should we do something?”

"Approach, very slowly."

It took me a few more seconds to put on the backpack and secure all the straps to keep it from swinging around while running. The fucking huge-ass bag was filled with all the crap that I brought along with me for my hunting trip on Earth, but I don't have the time to go through it all at the moment. If I did, then taking my bow out of its armored case would be the first thing that I equip myself with, that, or my dildo. Don't judge me! A girl has needs too ya' know!

"That's right, stay right where you are, girl. No pony is here to hurt you," whispered a voice from behind. 'Fuck, I forgot about them.' Turning around, oh so very slowly, an armored -mini-horse holding a cute little gladius in his mouth, was reaching for Brownie. 'Oh, aren't you a cutie? Here, let me show you why you should not touch a wolf's food.'

It didn't take long for him to notice that I was glaring at him, and he made the mistake of looking up and directly into my eyes. And when he did, I gave him the largest, toothy smile I could make, followed up with a hungry licking of my lips.

"Thump!"

'He fainted... well, that's not what I was expecting. I figured he would scream first. Welp, time to go!' With that thought in mind, and a little poke to make sure the armored mini-horse was alive... and just to poke him for poking reason. I threw Brownie over my shoulder and charged into the forest, ignoring all the shouts and screams all the while.

In the darkness of the forest, the armored mini-horses couldn't give chase. I lost them half-way to a river I found after an hour of non-stop running, even with the weight that I was carrying. Sometime during the chase, all the Humans joined me in the forest, causing a few of the mini-horses to catch the wrong person. I'll remember their sacrifice.

Now, as for the "weight," I was carrying? He couldn't be heavier than a hundred-fifty pounds! My standard kit back on mars was a hundred-twenty at most. Plus, as a soldier, I was expected to carry that amount of weight, as well as a two-hundred pound male with his own kit! For a minimum of ten miles! Oh, goddess, if the mini-horses were all this light. I could kill them with a single punch! Especially with all the augments done to my bone and muscle structure. They would be fucking devastating in unarmed combat on this planet! There is a reason why all females in the military were called "Hell's Angels." We're all fucking sexy, but the lack of pronounced muscle doesn't mean we can't bench five-hundred pounds without breaking a sweat. Not to mention all the DNA alterations, optical augments, cardio enhancements, and a bunch of other stuff that just help with dealing with the environment. We brought Heaven to the battlefield, (in very form-fitting armor), one bullet at a time.

I know what you are thinking: Do you have cybernetics? Or is it all biological? To answer those questions, the answer is yes to the latter and no to the former. Cybernetics, albeit quite useful, quickly becomes a hindrance in a high electromagnetic field. So fighting on the hull of a ship in low-orbit next to a gas giant like Jupiter, or on a planet with an insane magnetic field like Aurora, (where the fucking mountains float in the sky!), having a metal leg is a bad idea; mostly because the electronics in the leg would just die. We do have a form of shielding for cybernetics, yet with all the technological advancement in recent centuries, it's not a viable option.

Another question most commonly asked back on Mars when dealing with militaristic augmentation is: Are you still Human? Sadly, no, well, not completely. The DNA alterations done to us is mostly to give immunity to certain diseases on alien worlds that will kill the average Human in seconds, muscle and bone structure changes, ocular, taste, smell, and touch alterations. Want to know where this different DNA comes from? It comes from the Faunari, a Humanoid race of anthropomorphic animals created as an experiment for another alien race called: The Praedatos. Want to know why? Well, because they wanted to see our reaction to the Faunari since they were placed on the closest habitable world outside the solar system. I'm not joking. I was there guarding one of their diplomats when they revealed that little detail. They just wanted to see how we would react to animals native to Earth that were spliced with Human genetics to create twentieth-century Furries. Not the strangest experiment they did, I learned what that was during Operation: CONDOM. Never again. Never, again. On a side note, I had a Faunari fox girlfriend during high school. She was amazing to cuddle with!

Where was I? 'Let see, I'm 85% Human, 10% Wolf Faunari, (for my muscle, bone, smell, and hearing augmentations), 5% Hawk Faunari, (for my optical and touch augmentations), my DNA and RNA has special instructions that repair genetic damage, remove cancer cells, dead cells, and foreign cells; giving me a lifespan of three-hundred and sixty years, which also stops me from aging at twenty one until three-hundred years of age. What else—?'

"Please! I'm being held captive by a demonically possessed Human female! Can anypony hear me!? HELP!"

'—Oh, right. Him. Well, let's go and see if he will be cooperative instead of bitting my arm and shouting at the top of his lungs the second he wakes up. Fucking horse-face ass-muncher.' Did I mention my mind tends to wonder? It's the only thing you are allowed to do while being a sniper. Not being able to move for days unless risk alerting the enemy of your presence gets really boring after a few missions.

"Somepony! Please, save me... I need to pee," he said from shouting at the top of his lungs into a pitiful whisper.

'Alright, alright. I'm coming already! Jeez. It usually doesn't take too long....'

Taking one final look in the lake, I let out a sigh and scratched my throat where a scar should be, but isn't anymore due to my request. 'It's only been six months without a voice, Luna. Get over it.' Standing up, I sauntered towards the mini-horse tied to the tree where the "totally-not-humans" were also sleeping around. 'Equestrian Human, that's what he called them. He said they aren't intelligent, mindless, animals, and watching them do there thing really hammers those words true,' I frowned. 'Where am I?'

"H-Hey now, I-I'm not sure what I did to you evil empress of Tartarus, b-but I assure you that any harm done to me will look poorly in Celestia's eyes! Y-You don't want to incur her wrath," the mini-horse squeaked.

I looked down at the mini-horse and saw that he was trembling. His mane and tail were a knotted mess, his fur matted and covered in sweat. I tied him up in the most compromising position I could, showing his "stallion-hood" front and center with his hind-legs spread apart with bungee-rope, and his forehooves tied behind the tree. What little detail that I failed to see on the mini-horse was the little tattoo on both his flanks. The Human hand emblazoned on a silver beveled shield looked cute... for a manly tramp-stamp. I also failed to realize that while I was glaring at him during my analysis, I couldn't respond in time when a yellow stream made contact with my custom made, black-leather, steel-toed, Baby Seal hiking boots.

My eye twitched, he gulped.

My boot raised up, his ears flattened against his skull.

I smiled, he shook his head.

I stomped—

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

—he screamed.
