Chapter 2: Forest In Flames

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Another attack, this time by a large multi-headed snake creature. Kane finally gave in to John. John strolled up to the few flame tank commanders that were in this world at the moment.

"Men! Ready up your tanks. Warm up your flamethrowers. Your mission is to burn down a 3 mile radius in the forest. If you come under attack by any creatures... Eliminate them with extreme prejudice." The commanders quickly put down what they were doing and before setting off to their tanks they all yelled

"Yes Sir!"

John was proud of the Nod army. His men had much respect for him. During the Tiberium war John fought on the front lines with his men. He lead his army with experience and discipline. Even though he was more important than most Nod soldiers he saved many of their lives multiple times, earning him much deserved respect. Now he was second in command and even that wont stop him from fighting in the front with his men.

John switched his intercom on

"Kane? We are setting up quite nicely. The flame tanks will begin the purge very soon." Kane responded with

"Good. Do we have any reports on any intelligent life in the surrounding area?" John had totally forgot about scouting the area

"No I shall lead a scout team myself. I will report anything I find to you."

"Good and when you return I would like for you to look at a design we shall begin to build. A project GDI refused to utilize." John was curious to this and wished to get this mission over with fast.

"You four! Come with me. We are scouting the area. And you!" pointing at a pilot "I want you to fly overhead for us in a Venom" The 4 soldiers and the pilot replied with a

"Yes Sir!" and proceeded to grab their weapons, and the pilot started up his Venom.


One hour of scouting later

John was getting frustrated. They had been moving for miles and just forest. As John was about to give the order to return the pilot opened his com channel.

"General Sir! I can see a clearing and it looks like... There is houses over there!" John was intrigued.

"Good find soldier. Return to base and refuel. We will continue to this settlement. Get a carryall over here afterwards to pick us up."

"Copy that sir!" and the pilot left towards the base.

The small squad of 4 men and John reached the end of the forest. John retrieved his binoculars. All he could see was what looked like early 1800's type buildings. This had meant that these creatures had some technology. But the thing that surprised him was that... well colorful horses inhabited these buildings.

"Ugh sir? Are those horses or something?" John angrily throw back a

"SHHHH" and continued to watch. He couldn't see any guards of any type. He decided to give the order to venture to the settlement.

"Lets see what these things are capable of. Move out!" the soldiers threw a salute

"Yes sir!" and they moved towards the settlement.


Meanwhile in Ponyville

Spike was just tending to the library doing his usual chores. He was currently cleaning a telescope and jokingly was looking around with it.

"I can see everything from here ha ha!" He turned to see Rarity making some clothes in her house. "Rarity..." Hearts formed in his eye but he quickly snapped out of it and turned to look at the Everfree forest. What he saw frightened him. He was 5 shadowy figures moving out of the treeline moving toward the town. He quickly jumped down from the telescope.

"Twilight? Twilight? TWILIGHT!?!" To no avail he quickly wrote on a scroll "Dear Princess Celestia, There is 5 things coming from the Everfree forest and they are coming to the town!!! From Spike. P.S. HURRY!" he then covered the scroll in fire and the smoke flew out the window.


Back in Canterlot with Princess Celestia

"What do you think Princess? Is he going to be alright?" Twilight had the look dread in her eye.

"I don't know my student. He is in pretty bad shape. I managed to pull out a little metal thing lodged into his shoulder. That must be what those metal sticks shot." Princess Celestia managed to say just as Commander Daniels began to open his eyes.

"ugh... Where am I?" Daniels said as he opened his eyes.
Daniels went stiff. He was staring right in the eye of Twilight Sparkle. He looked over and saw Princess Celestia, Applejack and Rainbow Dash. He opened his mouth.

"Oh I get it I'm dead, that is why I see these colorful pastel ponies. So when to I get to live the good life in a cloud?" Daniels said sarcastically truly believing he was dead.

"Oh you are far from dead, I'm curious. How do you know how to speak Equestrian?" Twilight said with a look of curiosity in her eyes.

"Wait-what? Equestrian? I am speaking English. I think the better question is... What the hell are you? And how the hell are you speaking English???" Twilight looked confused

"We are ponies, and its pronounced Equestrian not... englus- englush... What ever... One more thing... Whats a hell?" Daniels couldn't believe what he was hearing and seeing.

"You're not going to eat me are you? I wouldn't if I were you! We Humans taste nasty!" Celestia began to laugh

"haha, No we aren't going to eat you. And so that's what you are. A Human? What are you doing in Equestria?" as Celestia said that the throne room doors swung open.

"Whats is with all the commotion sister?" Luna said as she passed through the doors. The second she saw the Human her jaw dropped.

"An Alien? Tell me Alien. Do you like the glorious night?" Daniels not comprehending the question said

"Well yeah, we humans usually have a lot of fun in the night" Luna ran up to Daniels and started to hug him yelling

"He appreciates our glorious night!" Daniels not going on managed to get out of Luna's tight grasp and slipped away running and grabing a spear.

"I don't know what you... Things are but stay back!" Flailing the spear around. Princess Celestia still with a warm smile on her face

"Don't worry we are not here to hurt you. We just saved your life from the other Humans trying to kill you." Daniels realizing he had been saved was about to thank her when a scroll appeared and fell in front if her.

"Hmm, what is this" Celestia exclaimed. "Ac-hem! "Dear Princess Celestia, There is 5 things coming from the Everfree forest and they are coming to the town!!! From Spike. P.S. HURRY!" "Oh no... We must get to Ponyville. Human you should come too. Luna stay here" Celestia then scoped up Daniels and teleported to Ponyville.


Back in Ponyville

The ponies began to run to their house and locked their doors. John thought he heard someone say in the distance "Code zebra" Code zebra? What could that possibly mean? John grabed his gauss rifle from his back and began to speak

"We know your here... little horse things... Come out now! We just want to chat." John said with an evil smirk. John could hear footsteps... No it was way to loud. It was another of those half lion, half scorpion things. It must have followed him after he left the forest. John looked at the soldiers

"Men. Riddle the beast with hot lead." The soldiers quickly pulled out their rifles, took aim and opened fire. Each man had put about 10 shots each into the beast's chest. The monster collapsed to the ground in a pool of blood. The monster was not done, it began to claw itself forward just barely alive. John walked up to it and pulled out his revolver and placed it against the beast's head "Night night" *BANG*


Celestia, the three ponies and Daniels watched in horror. Twilight frightened said

"Di-did he just murder a manticore in cold blood?" Celestia disgusted with what she just witnessed said to Daniels almost filled with tears

"How can you monsters do this? How can you things kill with no remorse?" Daniels shocked that she thought that we all were like this said

"Not all humans can kill like this. These people are known as the Brotherhood of Nod. They were a huge threat in our world. If Nod hadn't existed we would still be able to live on our world in peace. GDI forces tried to stop them but there is just too many of them."

Moments later a Nod soldier found a colt hiding underneath a fruit stand and told what looked like a leader about him.

"Good bring him to me." Two soldiers lifted the colt and placed him in front of the nod officer. "Can you understand me?" The colt replied

"y-yes."

"Good now, what is this place called? And do you have a leader?" The shaking colt looked up at the menacing Human standing before him

"T-this is ponyv-ville. O-our leaders are Princess L-Luna and Prin-Princess Ce-Celestia."

"Good where are these "Princess" located?" The colt almost in tears said "C-Canterlot... T-that way" The colt pointed towards the huge city in the distance. The officer pulled out his revolver and placed it on to the colts head.

"Thank you." *BANG*

Seconds later a massive dragon fly looking metal machine landed and the officer boarded with his soldiers. The last thing the officer said was

"Hope you enjoy watching bonfires!" He began to laugh maniacally as the doors shut. The machine lifted off the ground an flew into the forest. As if on cue the forest began to ignite into flames. Massive beatle-like machines rolled around knocking down trees and shooting fire on everything like a dragon. Almost the entire forest had been set ablaze. At that Princess Celestia looked into Daniels eyes and said

"If you truly are good you have to help us stop them." Daniels was horrified, he knew how much weapons Nod brought with them

"I'm only one man! But... If we could get GDI forces here we could try to stop the Nod threat. But first, did you see them bring any green or blue crystals that seem to glow?" Princess Celestia nodded. Daniels felt like all hope drained from him "Oh fuck... If they have the crystals that means this entire world will fall apart." Princess Celestia once again scooped up Daniels and teleported back to Canterlot.


Back in Canterlot

Daniels was safe in the palace with Princess Celestia and the three ponies.

"I will be right back. Stay here." Princess Celestia said in a low tone as she left the throne room.

"Sooo ugh... Do you humans have more of those flying things? Do they go fast?!" Rainbow Dash asked excitedly.

"Yes, they are called jets." Daniels replied. He then remembered he had a picture of him and his old squad in front of a jet. He pulled it out and showed Rainbow Dash "This is what a jet looks like." Rainbow Dash looked at the picture in awe

"Sooo awesome! And who are these?" pointing at the people standing next to him. Daniels was the last of his squad

"Well... They were my squad mates." he hoped she wouldn't ask why they WERE his squad mates. He had jinxed himself.

"What do you mean they "Were" your squad mates.?" Rainbow was now confused.

"Its just... Nothing." Daniels had lost his squad during the first few hours of the Scrin invasion. Now Applejack was interested

"What ya mean nothing? What in the hay happened to them?" Daniels gave in to them.

"You want to know? Fine. During the first few hours of the Scrin invasion, me and my squad were pinned down in a building with a bunch of civilians. When I was bringing the civilians to the evac zone some kind of Scrin tank shot some form of acid on them... They... They Just disintegrated into nothing..." Applejack and Rainbow Dash felt horrible.

"Were sorry we asked you. I was just curious about the Humans next to the awesome jet. I-I... I didn't know you had to go through that."

Princess Celestia returned with good news "I have found a way to open a portal to your world. If your army will help us, I will open it for your forces." Daniels turned and looked at the Princess

"You may have to come with me. I don't think the Director will believe me when I say we need to send our army to a world controlled by ponies without proof." Then Rainbow, Twilight and Applejack blurted out

"We could come too!" Daniels thought for a moment

"More the merrier I guess..." And with that Princess Celestia concentrated all her magic into a small portal large enough for them to enter.

"Let us go and speak with this Director, shall we?" The Princess said as she stepped through. Daniels thought to himself

"How is the Director ever going to believe me..."


Meanwhile in the GDI outpost

Parker had been moving some equipment preparing for the upcoming attack on the Nod forces. He was just moving a box when something began to materialize before him. It was Commando Daniels.

"What the fuck? Daniels? How the hell did you do that?"

"There is no time to explain, hurry we need to speak to the Director." Daniels now noticing Parker's jaw drop at the sight of the tall and majestic Princess.

"Ugh... T-this way Daniels... And horses?" Still starring at the Princess.

"Ponies actually." The Princess said. Hearing the Princess talk was enough to essentially make Parker's jaw hit the floor.

"Ugh yes well... This way." Parker said as he rushed toward the Director's office.

"Umm Director?" Parker said nervously

"Yes what is it Parker?" The Director said looking out his window not noticing the four ponies standing in his office.

"Daniels and... Some ponies are requesting to speak with you."

"Are you fucking serious Parker? This is no time for jokes we are at wa-" The Director stopped mid sentence as he turned around looking at the 3 ponies and the Princess. "Who... What are you?" Giving the ponies the same face Parker made. Applejack spoke up

"I'm Applejack, This here is Twilight and Rainbow. An the tall one is the Princess." The Princess noticing the confusion spoke up

"We are in grave danger. The ones who you call Nod have come and defiled our world."

"But I thought Nod was at the tower?" Parker threw in.

"No, they have entered the portal and are set up in our Everfree forest. Today they came and killed one of my subjects." The Director still just barely able to comprehend what is happening said

"What can we do if they have left already? They have figured out a way to activate and deactivate the portal as the please. We wont be able to get close enough to enter before the shut the portal."

"But I can open a portal for your forces. You will be able to pass through in a safe area." The Princess replied. The Director sighed

"Why does it even matter? In a year there will be nothing left of Earth. Have you looked out there lately? The Tiberium has destroyed everything. We don't even have any Blue zones anymore. But I guess if we take Nod down with us it will mean Humanity went down fighting. Yes I confirm the order. Send all forces through this new portal. Parker make it so."

"Yes Sir." Parker then hurried to radio all forces to return to the Outpost.


Back at the Nod base

"Our mission is complete Kane." John said feeling successful.

"Good, and just what have you found my General?" Kane eagerly asked

"We have found an intelligent race of ponies, and their leaders sit in a castle on the side of a mountain." Kane replied

"Ponies? Strange, but I guess we were attacked by a hydra and a lion scorpion. But enough of that, I wanted to show you the weapon we are building! Engineer's! Bring up what we have completed so far!" John waited excitedly. The projector began to spit out pictures. It was a massive tank, equipped with a massive Ion Cannon.

"An Ion Cannon tank? That will be sure to strike fear into this race." They both began to laugh maniacally as they looked at the already constructed Ion Cannon.

"By the end of the week this world will be ours!" John said then continued to laugh with Kane. This world will be ours.
